00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum.
00:00:02.640 Ba-dum, bum, bum. 1.00
00:00:05.120 Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best part of life,
00:00:10.760 the best live stream in the entire world,
00:00:12.940 possibly the best entertainment of any kind, anywhere,
00:00:16.040 in the entire simulation, the multiverse, the solar system.
00:00:20.400 In fact, infinity itself since the beginning of time,
00:00:24.340 the Big Bang, and possibly before.
00:00:27.120 We're not sure what space-time is all about.
00:00:30.700 But I like to cover all bases.
00:00:32.380 And if you came here for the simultaneous sip,
00:00:35.520 and all the smart people did, I know that for sure,
00:00:39.180 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:41.600 a tank or a chalice, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind,
00:00:44.900 fill it with your favorite liquid, get ready.
00:00:48.400 Did you make it in time?
00:00:49.920 Did you make it in time?
00:00:51.460 You're rushing, you're rushing.
00:00:53.320 Grab your cup.
00:00:54.120 No!
00:00:54.720 You made it in time.
00:00:58.640 Good job.
00:00:59.500 Go.
00:01:03.680 Ah!
00:01:07.760 Well, if you are on YouTube right now,
00:01:12.700 you don't know that last night I gave a live stream drum lesson,
00:01:17.920 beginning drum lesson to my local subscribers.
00:01:20.780 And I was testing a theory that a beginner can teach another beginner better,
00:01:29.100 if they're a good communicator, than an expert.
00:01:32.280 And the theory goes like this, that once you become an expert,
00:01:35.560 you eventually forget what a non-expert knows.
00:01:40.400 But if you're still a beginner, but you've picked up a few tricks,
00:01:45.260 you know exactly what to tell another beginner.
00:01:47.840 It's like, whoa, don't make the mistake I made.
00:01:50.580 They won't tell you this for like a year, but you need to know this.
00:01:55.220 And I heard feedback that it worked.
00:01:58.700 So I'm just going to put out that concept that for some kinds of learning,
00:02:06.780 a beginner who is good at communicating would be exactly the right person.
00:02:11.340 If you didn't see the controversy where Barbara Corcoran
00:02:18.800 insulted Whoopi Goldberg's COVID weight gain on The View,
00:02:27.460 well, you should.
00:02:32.160 I don't have anything to add to the story,
00:02:35.540 because the story's kind of complete just the way it is,
00:02:39.120 that I think maybe the takeaway from this story
00:02:43.520 is that no matter how smart you are,
00:02:46.940 and no matter how experienced you are,
00:02:49.620 and no matter how rich you are,
00:02:51.760 and this would describe Barbara Corcoran,
00:02:54.680 she made billions of dollars 1.00
00:02:56.240 building her own real estate empire from nothing, right? 0.73
00:02:59.760 So imagine how much capability Barbara Corcoran has. 1.00
00:03:04.020 A lot.
00:03:05.540 Right?
00:03:06.320 Like, super smart, capable, and all this.
00:03:09.260 Lots of experience on TV from being on
00:03:11.640 what you call a show.
00:03:15.840 Anyway.
00:03:16.940 And she actually makes a fat joke on TV on The View. 1.00
00:03:22.520 Now, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made that mistake.
00:03:27.560 Would you?
00:03:28.980 Would any of you have made that mistake?
00:03:31.040 Now, apparently, they were friends or friendly,
00:03:35.800 and she thought she was just, you know,
00:03:37.640 kidding a friend.
00:03:39.120 But, my God.
00:03:41.620 That was a pretty big mistake.
00:03:44.080 Now, I also think that she didn't, you know,
00:03:47.380 it wasn't poorly intentioned.
00:03:51.180 And so, yeah, as mistakes go,
00:03:53.440 it was just a dumb mistake.
00:03:54.840 But it makes me feel good
00:03:56.840 when you see somebody who operates
00:03:59.180 at that level of capability
00:04:00.820 do something that none of us would do.
00:04:05.000 You know, we would have seen this one
00:04:06.300 coming a little bit sooner than she did.
00:04:09.360 I don't know.
00:04:10.060 It was just sort of a feel-good story
00:04:12.000 in the sense that somebody that capable
00:04:15.100 could do something so dumb in public.
00:04:17.660 Now, let me ask you this.
00:04:20.080 I've told you before that a, let's say,
00:04:24.440 invulnerability to shame and embarrassment
00:04:27.040 is a superpower.
00:04:30.560 Now, Barbara Corcoran has done something that, 0.84
00:04:33.340 well, I guess for normal people,
00:04:34.780 they'd feel ashamed and embarrassed
00:04:36.440 and, you know, they'd have to crawl
00:04:38.360 under their bed for a month.
00:04:40.520 Do you think she does?
00:04:42.680 I don't know.
00:04:43.820 I mean, I can't read her mind.
00:04:45.340 But I'm just wondering.
00:04:46.100 I'm going to speculate
00:04:48.840 that by the time you're operating
00:04:51.620 at the level she operates at,
00:04:53.560 you just don't feel shame and embarrassment
00:04:55.660 the way ordinary people do.
00:04:57.760 You know, I'm sure it wasn't a good day, right?
00:05:00.420 You know, probably ruined her day. 1.00
00:05:03.100 But will it last?
00:05:05.880 Nope. Nope.
00:05:07.000 She probably already shook it off.
00:05:09.140 She apologized.
00:05:10.220 What else do you want, really?
00:05:13.300 Two movies on one screen.
00:05:14.780 Dave Chappelle, of course, has a new special.
00:05:16.840 You've all heard about it.
00:05:18.440 And he has some jokes that are, I guess,
00:05:23.160 roughly about the LGBTQ community
00:05:25.280 and some funny stories got there.
00:05:27.280 I haven't seen it yet.
00:05:28.660 But the reporting on it gives you two movies.
00:05:33.720 Two movies.
00:05:34.580 One is that Dave Chappelle said things
00:05:37.820 that were disrespectful or insulting
00:05:39.820 to the LGBTQ community.
00:05:42.660 And I don't know if he did or not
00:05:44.720 because I didn't see it.
00:05:46.440 I'm guessing no, though.
00:05:48.680 Because that's sort of not his deal.
00:05:51.240 You know, he's not really about
00:05:52.640 punching down.
00:05:54.560 Is he?
00:05:55.220 Now, do a fact check on me.
00:05:57.320 I've been watching him for a long time.
00:05:59.480 And I'm not really aware
00:06:00.620 that he's ever punched down.
00:06:02.720 Has he?
00:06:04.320 In any mean-spirited kind of a way.
00:06:06.340 And so here are the two movies.
00:06:08.340 One is that, you know,
00:06:09.840 one of the most prominent, successful comedians
00:06:13.060 insulted the LGBT community, 1.00
00:06:16.340 and so they're outraged.
00:06:17.520 That would be one movie.
00:06:19.300 But I'm seeing a slightly different movie.
00:06:22.860 Slightly different movie.
00:06:25.020 Chappelle is a different class of comic or comedian,
00:06:30.260 whichever word they prefer,
00:06:31.320 than the average comedian, I would say.
00:06:35.940 And I would say that he's sort of in a class
00:06:38.220 where when he starts making fun of the LGBT community
00:06:43.320 in a not mean-spirited way,
00:06:46.500 because I'm sure it wasn't,
00:06:48.860 he's sort of signifying their arrival.
00:06:52.620 Right?
00:06:53.640 Because he doesn't punch down.
00:06:55.640 If he doesn't punch down,
00:06:57.200 and he's talking about you,
00:06:59.960 what has he told you?
00:07:01.320 You made it.
00:07:04.160 You made it.
00:07:05.760 You can be like white people now, 1.00
00:07:07.960 or like adult white males.
00:07:10.200 You can take a joke now.
00:07:12.560 You made it.
00:07:14.100 That's the only thing I see.
00:07:16.660 Now, I'm not saying that I have the priority opinion on this, right?
00:07:21.520 If your opinion's different, that's your opinion, of course.
00:07:24.040 You're certainly welcome to it.
00:07:25.380 But it should be, I think it's worth noting,
00:07:29.300 that there are two completely different movies playing.
00:07:32.780 One in which the LGBTQ community was insulted,
00:07:38.320 which I never approve of,
00:07:40.880 being a, I'd like to think,
00:07:43.360 a pro-LGBTQ kind of a guy.
00:07:47.420 Pro-people in general,
00:07:48.420 so I can be pro-everything.
00:07:50.580 It's easy to say.
00:07:52.940 But that was it.
00:07:54.300 I feel like welcome to the club.
00:07:56.920 So, LGBTQ community,
00:07:58.700 welcome to the club.
00:08:01.200 I'm sure almost all of you can take a joke.
00:08:03.420 So, let's at least consider the possibility
00:08:09.060 that there's a little positive in this story.
00:08:12.600 Because you have to...
00:08:13.960 Let me give you some advice.
00:08:16.320 You can't trust anybody.
00:08:20.620 That's part one of the advice.
00:08:24.220 And then you're thinking,
00:08:24.980 well, that's pretty negative.
00:08:26.160 I can trust people.
00:08:27.060 You can't trust people
00:08:29.900 about a specific thing they've promised.
00:08:32.240 But here's what you can trust.
00:08:34.080 That people will be the same people
00:08:35.460 that they were yesterday.
00:08:37.200 Like, people don't change into a new person.
00:08:39.720 So, you can pretty much trust
00:08:42.060 that people will act about the same
00:08:43.680 as they've acted lately.
00:08:45.640 If they were a liar yesterday,
00:08:47.980 probably a liar today.
00:08:50.280 If they were not punching down yesterday,
00:08:53.840 probably not today.
00:08:55.080 It's probably not the way
00:08:56.440 they were thinking of it.
00:08:58.380 So, that's enough about that.
00:09:02.440 There's a story about a man
00:09:03.580 who plunged...
00:09:05.680 I don't know if he jumped or he fell,
00:09:07.760 but he plunged 100 feet
00:09:10.320 from a ninth-floor story in New Jersey
00:09:12.240 from a high-rise,
00:09:13.920 and he landed on top of a BMW,
00:09:17.340 you know, collapsed it,
00:09:19.400 and survived with a broken arm.
00:09:21.460 He survived with just a broken arm.
00:09:28.180 He fell nine stories,
00:09:30.340 100 feet,
00:09:31.080 and demolished a BMW.
00:09:34.040 Well, there are several things
00:09:35.420 that we can get from this.
00:09:38.580 Number one,
00:09:39.740 if he was trying to end his life,
00:09:41.720 and I certainly do not support that,
00:09:43.660 so I would discourage anybody
00:09:44.780 from doing it,
00:09:45.760 but if they've decided to do it,
00:09:48.120 there is a better way to do it.
00:09:49.760 You should, at the very least,
00:09:53.440 not aim for the BMW.
00:09:55.360 Here's why.
00:09:56.640 Should you survive,
00:09:58.600 I'm pretty sure you're liable
00:10:00.320 for paying to replace the BMW.
00:10:03.200 Am I wrong?
00:10:04.280 If you survive,
00:10:06.160 I think you're on the hook
00:10:07.900 for paying for it, aren't you?
00:10:09.960 And the BMW,
00:10:11.200 being kind of a sturdy vehicle,
00:10:12.940 may be exactly the right composition
00:10:14.760 for keeping you alive,
00:10:17.360 which may not be your intention.
00:10:19.760 So my advice would be,
00:10:21.540 first of all,
00:10:22.160 don't try to end your life.
00:10:23.780 Don't anybody try to do that.
00:10:26.020 But if you are,
00:10:27.980 and you're not going to take my advice,
00:10:29.700 I would say at least aim for the Prius.
00:10:32.500 Aim for the Prius.
00:10:34.300 This is the kind of advice
00:10:35.520 you're not going to get
00:10:36.320 on a lot of podcasts.
00:10:38.300 No, a lot of podcasts
00:10:39.240 are just blah, blah, blah.
00:10:41.200 But you come here,
00:10:42.180 I give you the practical kind of advice,
00:10:45.080 the stuff you can use.
00:10:46.860 Aim for the Prius.
00:10:48.300 Because if your attempt
00:10:50.120 to end your life doesn't work,
00:10:52.380 well, you're still on the hook
00:10:53.520 for paying for the car,
00:10:54.660 but now it's a Prius.
00:10:56.420 BMW,
00:10:58.060 bad risk management.
00:11:00.100 Now, the other part of this story
00:11:01.760 that I found interesting
00:11:02.760 is that his only injury
00:11:04.200 was a broken arm.
00:11:05.640 Tell me,
00:11:08.160 how do you fall on a BMW
00:11:09.780 from nine stories up
00:11:11.580 and not have a concussion?
00:11:13.800 Anybody?
00:11:14.560 Anybody?
00:11:15.660 How do you not have a concussion?
00:11:18.140 Well, hold this story in your head.
00:11:21.280 Just hold on to it for a moment.
00:11:23.180 Put a little pin in it
00:11:24.580 and put it on the shelf.
00:11:27.220 But don't forget it
00:11:28.280 because it's going to come back.
00:11:30.200 All right?
00:11:30.760 So just put a little shelf.
00:11:32.620 Hold it there.
00:11:34.240 Moving on to the next story.
00:11:35.840 You heard about
00:11:36.440 the nuclear submarine
00:11:38.340 that was in the South China Sea
00:11:40.960 and it ran into something.
00:11:42.900 We don't know exactly what it was,
00:11:44.260 but it ran into something.
00:11:45.520 And it damaged the submarine
00:11:47.160 and injured a number
00:11:49.000 of the people on it.
00:11:51.060 Now, there's no reporting
00:11:52.120 on what that object was.
00:11:54.720 What do you think it was?
00:11:56.380 Apparently, there is history
00:11:57.680 of one of our submarines
00:11:59.040 running into an underground mountain.
00:12:03.440 Don't they have
00:12:04.440 some kind of technology
00:12:05.780 in those submarines
00:12:06.720 to see,
00:12:08.200 detect what's ahead of them
00:12:10.540 that would maybe
00:12:12.800 detect a mountain?
00:12:14.640 I don't know exactly.
00:12:16.640 Don't know exactly
00:12:18.060 why a submarine
00:12:20.540 would not be able
00:12:21.260 to see a mountain,
00:12:22.220 but we do have
00:12:23.060 a history of one
00:12:24.520 that ran into
00:12:25.140 an underground mountain.
00:12:26.640 Don't know how.
00:12:27.420 But I'm guessing
00:12:29.420 that we're not often
00:12:30.820 running into
00:12:31.460 stationary mountains
00:12:32.800 because of the sonar
00:12:34.780 and whatnot.
00:12:36.720 And you'd think
00:12:38.020 that they'd have
00:12:38.520 the ocean bottom
00:12:40.360 at least a better map
00:12:41.520 down than that.
00:12:42.840 Do we really not know
00:12:43.800 where there's
00:12:44.200 an underground mountain?
00:12:45.460 I don't know.
00:12:45.880 I have lots of questions
00:12:46.640 about that.
00:12:47.120 But if I'm going
00:12:50.240 to add some guesses
00:12:51.140 to what they may
00:12:52.720 have run into,
00:12:53.600 allow me to add
00:12:54.320 the following guess.
00:12:56.780 Chinese
00:12:57.220 made
00:12:58.600 underwater
00:12:59.680 drone.
00:13:01.380 Submarine drone.
00:13:02.220 Those exist,
00:13:03.180 right?
00:13:03.580 So the first part
00:13:04.860 of the story is,
00:13:05.440 yes,
00:13:05.680 there are such things
00:13:06.560 as underwater drones.
00:13:09.040 If you were China 0.90
00:13:10.060 and you wanted
00:13:10.800 to discourage people
00:13:12.260 from doing exercises
00:13:13.540 in your waters,
00:13:14.460 but you didn't want
00:13:15.060 to start a shooting war,
00:13:17.000 but you did want
00:13:18.280 to maybe bloody a nose,
00:13:21.180 leave a little doubt.
00:13:22.540 How would you do it?
00:13:24.560 I would bump,
00:13:26.040 bump,
00:13:28.460 a drone into a submarine.
00:13:30.700 I wouldn't make it explode,
00:13:33.320 but I'd bump it.
00:13:35.940 I'd give them a little,
00:13:36.780 just a little black nose,
00:13:39.460 or not black nose,
00:13:40.980 black eye,
00:13:42.460 you know,
00:13:42.680 bloody nose.
00:13:43.260 I don't know
00:13:45.380 if that's what happened.
00:13:47.120 Maybe.
00:13:48.000 Here's another thought.
00:13:49.260 You know,
00:13:49.420 we've talked about UFOs,
00:13:51.260 and at least some reports
00:13:53.420 of the UFOs
00:13:54.360 going into the ocean.
00:13:55.980 Now,
00:13:56.300 if you were
00:13:56.640 an advanced technology,
00:13:58.700 would you be more
00:13:59.640 interested in
00:14:00.500 the stuff
00:14:01.660 that's above ground
00:14:02.700 or the stuff
00:14:04.220 that's underwater?
00:14:06.540 Don't you just assume
00:14:07.720 that they'd be
00:14:08.200 the most interested
00:14:09.060 in us,
00:14:09.860 the above ground stuff?
00:14:10.940 But there's very little
00:14:12.620 above ground stuff
00:14:13.640 compared to what's
00:14:14.680 under the ocean.
00:14:16.140 Now,
00:14:16.320 imagine you had
00:14:16.880 the technology
00:14:17.480 to come to Earth
00:14:18.400 from a faraway planet
00:14:19.600 and buzz around.
00:14:21.200 Do you think you'd care
00:14:22.340 if you were flying
00:14:23.940 through oxygen
00:14:24.800 or water?
00:14:27.300 Probably not.
00:14:28.680 Your ship would probably
00:14:29.740 be so good
00:14:30.400 that you'd prefer the water.
00:14:31.960 Now,
00:14:32.200 look at the amount
00:14:33.080 of water there is
00:14:34.000 compared to land.
00:14:36.720 Theoretically,
00:14:37.200 I see no reason
00:14:38.900 that UFOs
00:14:39.660 wouldn't spend
00:14:40.260 most of their time
00:14:41.240 underwater
00:14:41.800 because that's
00:14:43.600 where more stuff is,
00:14:45.560 more real estate,
00:14:46.520 more things to look at.
00:14:47.800 After they've looked
00:14:48.560 at people,
00:14:49.680 they're like,
00:14:50.000 okay,
00:14:50.300 we've seen that.
00:14:50.960 Let's see what's
00:14:51.380 under here.
00:14:52.940 Maybe they ran
00:14:53.780 into a UFO.
00:14:55.040 I'd say the odds
00:14:55.780 of that are low
00:14:56.380 because they have
00:14:56.960 good technologies
00:14:57.740 in those UFOs,
00:14:58.780 I've heard.
00:15:01.600 Now,
00:15:02.240 since we have
00:15:02.920 a submarine
00:15:03.500 that ran into something
00:15:04.460 and apparently
00:15:04.920 got dented
00:15:05.700 or there were injuries,
00:15:07.700 I'm thinking to myself,
00:15:08.900 what kind of technology
00:15:10.240 could we employ
00:15:12.240 in our underwater
00:15:13.240 technology,
00:15:14.800 our submarines?
00:15:15.560 How could we build
00:15:16.380 a submarine
00:15:16.800 with something
00:15:17.440 that's stronger
00:15:19.060 than whatever
00:15:19.620 they have now?
00:15:20.500 I don't know.
00:15:20.960 Is it titanium?
00:15:22.640 Is it steel?
00:15:23.620 What do they make
00:15:24.200 submarines that of?
00:15:25.400 But what would be
00:15:26.180 stronger than those things?
00:15:28.680 Well,
00:15:29.160 definitely not a BMW
00:15:30.280 because a BMW
00:15:32.080 was just crushed
00:15:33.580 by a guy.
00:15:35.700 But he didn't
00:15:38.680 have a head injury,
00:15:41.160 the guy who crashed
00:15:42.540 into the BMW
00:15:43.340 from nine floors up.
00:15:45.280 I'm just going to
00:15:46.120 put that out there,
00:15:47.100 that we should make
00:15:47.740 our submarines
00:15:48.480 out of whatever
00:15:49.400 his skull is made of.
00:15:51.760 Because whatever
00:15:52.440 that guy's skull
00:15:53.420 is made of,
00:15:54.740 he survived
00:15:55.460 a nine-story drop
00:15:57.160 onto a metal object
00:15:58.700 without a head injury.
00:16:02.380 I'm just saying
00:16:03.280 we should build
00:16:03.840 our submarines
00:16:04.600 with whatever
00:16:05.820 that is.
00:16:07.300 I'm no scientist,
00:16:08.620 so I don't know
00:16:09.380 the details
00:16:09.960 of how you do that.
00:16:11.000 But we clearly
00:16:12.560 have a material
00:16:13.500 that's available
00:16:14.220 to us here on Earth,
00:16:15.820 this man's skull,
00:16:18.340 that's probably better
00:16:19.220 than these damn submarines. 0.87
00:16:20.840 So let's,
00:16:22.220 two plus two is four,
00:16:23.880 let's get it done.
00:16:24.720 Breaking news,
00:16:28.600 the U.S. jobs report
00:16:29.620 falls short again
00:16:30.580 and only hired
00:16:32.040 fewer than 200,000 people,
00:16:34.920 but estimates
00:16:35.540 were up to half a million,
00:16:36.720 so that's not so good,
00:16:37.820 right?
00:16:39.000 That's not so good.
00:16:41.680 Far fewer people
00:16:42.800 got hired.
00:16:44.920 It's probably misleading.
00:16:47.500 Here's why it's misleading.
00:16:49.300 The problem, I think,
00:16:50.560 is that people
00:16:51.060 are not taking the jobs.
00:16:52.360 That's more like
00:16:54.780 a good problem.
00:16:56.340 A bad problem
00:16:57.460 is there are no jobs.
00:17:00.000 You don't want
00:17:00.680 to live in that world
00:17:01.440 that,
00:17:03.100 no thank you,
00:17:03.840 that's the depression.
00:17:04.960 You don't want
00:17:05.540 to live in a world
00:17:06.080 with no jobs.
00:17:07.320 You want to live
00:17:08.120 in a world
00:17:08.520 where all the stores
00:17:09.760 have a hiring sign
00:17:12.540 and they just can't
00:17:13.220 hire enough people.
00:17:15.200 That's where we are.
00:17:16.360 Now, it's a bad reason
00:17:17.760 that we can't hire them
00:17:18.660 because they're
00:17:19.920 living a home
00:17:21.100 and taking benefits
00:17:22.280 or whatever they're doing.
00:17:24.920 But it's not the kind
00:17:25.980 I'm going to worry about
00:17:26.780 in the long run
00:17:27.380 because in the long run
00:17:28.300 that just adjusts
00:17:29.240 on its own.
00:17:30.060 You don't have
00:17:30.400 to do anything.
00:17:31.260 You just wait.
00:17:32.300 You wait,
00:17:32.880 people run out of money,
00:17:33.980 they go to work.
00:17:35.840 Not a big problem.
00:17:38.680 Let's talk about
00:17:39.400 the Nobel Peace Prize.
00:17:45.440 You know
00:17:46.140 that the Nobel Peace Prize
00:17:47.300 has been announced
00:17:48.780 and all eight winners
00:17:51.000 of the 2021
00:17:53.000 Nobel Prize
00:17:53.820 in medicine,
00:17:55.580 chemistry,
00:17:56.100 physics,
00:17:56.640 and literature
00:17:57.180 have been men.
00:18:00.300 Oh.
00:18:01.940 Reigniting a recurring
00:18:03.280 debate about diversity
00:18:04.460 in the highly coveted awards,
00:18:06.640 particularly those
00:18:07.300 in science.
00:18:09.000 And I thought
00:18:10.700 I'd give you
00:18:11.100 sort of an overview
00:18:11.920 of how things
00:18:14.440 have changed
00:18:15.000 in the Nobel Prize.
00:18:17.080 As you know,
00:18:17.600 it's the most prestigious
00:18:18.680 prize anybody could get
00:18:20.700 in the world,
00:18:21.420 I think.
00:18:22.660 And,
00:18:23.340 you know,
00:18:25.420 how we think of it
00:18:26.120 has changed a little bit
00:18:27.140 over the years.
00:18:27.860 I thought I'd catch up
00:18:29.020 if you're not
00:18:29.580 up to date on this.
00:18:32.920 Now,
00:18:33.380 because I'm a
00:18:34.360 professional cartoonist,
00:18:36.000 I can do diagrams
00:18:38.140 a little bit better
00:18:39.140 than most people.
00:18:40.160 I think,
00:18:40.640 I think I nailed it
00:18:42.080 in this case.
00:18:43.260 So,
00:18:43.660 in the old days,
00:18:44.660 the focus
00:18:46.180 of the Nobel Prize
00:18:47.440 was about
00:18:48.660 the brain area,
00:18:50.920 sort of the part
00:18:51.900 within the skull
00:18:53.320 portion of the human.
00:18:55.140 And we'd say,
00:18:56.880 wow,
00:18:57.060 these are really smart people
00:18:58.100 and we would honor them.
00:19:00.040 And it would honor science
00:19:01.400 and great accomplishment.
00:19:02.800 And it was very,
00:19:04.340 dare I say,
00:19:05.740 brain-focused.
00:19:07.280 And that seemed okay.
00:19:10.520 But today,
00:19:11.520 it seems,
00:19:12.200 you know,
00:19:13.160 like really old thinking,
00:19:15.140 doesn't it?
00:19:16.220 You're like,
00:19:16.840 oh,
00:19:17.140 all about the brain.
00:19:18.560 Oh,
00:19:19.020 thank you,
00:19:19.580 grandpa.
00:19:20.740 Bunch of boomers. 0.69
00:19:22.360 You still care about brains
00:19:23.880 and accomplishments.
00:19:24.960 Ugh.
00:19:26.380 You know,
00:19:26.780 let's,
00:19:27.300 so we updated that.
00:19:28.620 All right?
00:19:29.000 We're a little bit more
00:19:30.540 progressive today.
00:19:32.320 And today,
00:19:33.080 the new focus
00:19:33.720 of the Nobel Prize,
00:19:35.520 quite rightly,
00:19:36.200 I think you'll all agree
00:19:37.280 with this,
00:19:38.080 is more on the crotch area,
00:19:41.720 far less focus
00:19:43.220 on the brains.
00:19:44.100 Now,
00:19:44.300 I'm not saying
00:19:44.680 the brains don't matter 1.00
00:19:45.680 because everybody
00:19:47.160 who got a Nobel Prize
00:19:48.280 is very,
00:19:48.800 very smart
00:19:49.260 and certainly
00:19:50.400 employed their brains
00:19:51.640 to get there.
00:19:52.520 And so they have
00:19:53.080 very good brains.
00:19:54.460 But we're not really
00:19:55.120 focusing on that.
00:19:56.780 It doesn't feel,
00:19:58.380 it just doesn't feel
00:19:59.220 2021,
00:20:00.120 does it?
00:20:01.040 To focus on
00:20:01.900 the brainal area.
00:20:04.440 That's what it's called,
00:20:05.300 the brainal area,
00:20:06.760 for those of you
00:20:07.380 who are not
00:20:07.780 as scientifically literate
00:20:09.380 as I am.
00:20:10.920 So the new focus,
00:20:11.900 quite properly,
00:20:12.880 is on mostly penis, 0.94
00:20:14.740 yes or no,
00:20:15.880 but not by itself.
00:20:18.220 So now it's,
00:20:19.400 let me move this
00:20:20.120 a little bit.
00:20:21.040 Now it's more complicated.
00:20:23.820 A little bit
00:20:24.620 more complicated.
00:20:26.180 Because it's not,
00:20:28.520 it's hard to get
00:20:29.380 my monitors here.
00:20:30.340 It's not just about
00:20:31.260 the penis, 0.98
00:20:31.840 yes or no,
00:20:32.780 to get the Nobel Prize.
00:20:34.060 You would also have
00:20:35.260 to know the
00:20:35.640 self-identification.
00:20:36.760 For example,
00:20:38.100 there could be
00:20:38.700 somebody who had
00:20:40.100 a penis, 0.99
00:20:41.140 but identified
00:20:41.820 as female,
00:20:43.620 and then that
00:20:44.260 would give you
00:20:44.700 some diversity
00:20:45.800 within the winners.
00:20:48.160 Because right now
00:20:48.740 we have a whole bunch
00:20:49.440 of people with penises 0.97
00:20:50.500 winning Nobel Prizes.
00:20:53.320 And if you,
00:20:55.620 how's that fair?
00:20:59.480 But it's not just
00:21:02.060 about that.
00:21:02.500 It's about
00:21:02.720 self-identification.
00:21:03.840 And then,
00:21:04.180 of course,
00:21:05.320 the most important
00:21:06.140 issue of all
00:21:06.760 is the race.
00:21:08.400 So we need to get,
00:21:09.480 you have to get
00:21:10.140 the right race.
00:21:12.660 Otherwise,
00:21:13.440 your prizes
00:21:14.220 will sort of
00:21:14.960 lose their support.
00:21:17.420 People won't
00:21:18.080 respect them anymore
00:21:19.100 and the whole
00:21:20.440 system falls apart.
00:21:22.480 So that's the change.
00:21:25.520 And I think
00:21:26.840 it's progress.
00:21:27.400 A lot of you
00:21:29.100 are still Neanderthals 0.99
00:21:30.280 and you're saying
00:21:30.780 to yourself,
00:21:31.320 oh, make it about
00:21:32.120 brains and accomplishment.
00:21:33.600 Yeah.
00:21:34.380 Yeah.
00:21:34.920 Why don't you go back
00:21:35.960 to your troglodyte caves
00:21:37.960 with Dave Chappelle
00:21:39.720 and maybe come back
00:21:43.020 when you're a little
00:21:43.680 bit more awoke
00:21:44.620 and you know
00:21:45.820 what's important.
00:21:47.660 That's important.
00:21:49.520 Right there.
00:21:50.920 Take a look at that.
00:21:51.860 That's what matters
00:21:52.980 depending also
00:21:55.580 on how you identify.
00:21:56.560 Right?
00:21:57.400 And then brains,
00:21:59.500 still good.
00:22:00.880 You still have to have
00:22:02.160 it.
00:22:02.320 They're required.
00:22:02.920 I don't want to
00:22:03.360 minimize brains.
00:22:05.120 You know,
00:22:05.580 my God,
00:22:06.220 brains are important.
00:22:07.740 I'm just saying
00:22:08.420 they're not as important
00:22:09.560 as they used to be.
00:22:11.440 Or when we were
00:22:12.720 back in the dark ages
00:22:14.260 we were like,
00:22:14.740 oh, brains are everything.
00:22:16.240 No, they're not.
00:22:18.380 Somebody asked me
00:22:19.320 why don't I
00:22:20.520 make a Dilbert drawing
00:22:21.680 and turn it into
00:22:22.440 an NFT
00:22:22.960 and sell it for
00:22:24.100 millions
00:22:25.100 before lunchtime
00:22:26.020 and I said,
00:22:26.480 that's not going
00:22:27.080 to work
00:22:27.400 because I already
00:22:28.180 made a couple
00:22:28.760 of Dilbert NFTs
00:22:29.860 and they didn't
00:22:30.780 go for nearly
00:22:31.440 a million dollars.
00:22:32.720 But then I realized
00:22:33.700 what happens
00:22:35.520 when I die?
00:22:37.820 Right?
00:22:39.340 I'm pretty sure
00:22:40.180 they go up in value
00:22:41.000 when I die.
00:22:41.900 Now,
00:22:42.120 I don't give
00:22:42.600 financial advice
00:22:43.760 so this is not
00:22:44.960 financial advice.
00:22:46.300 But generally speaking
00:22:47.100 when an artist dies
00:22:48.300 their products
00:22:51.580 go up in value.
00:22:53.780 So, again,
00:22:55.360 this is not
00:22:55.880 financial advice
00:22:56.880 but if you see me
00:22:57.740 with a dry cough
00:22:59.360 just take that
00:23:02.380 into consideration
00:23:03.220 when you make
00:23:04.380 your NFT purchases.
00:23:06.280 That's all I'm saying.
00:23:07.940 Mike Sernovich
00:23:08.540 asked this question
00:23:09.420 on Twitter.
00:23:10.780 He said,
00:23:11.120 what person
00:23:11.740 or media outlets
00:23:12.560 do you generally trust?
00:23:14.080 And by trust
00:23:14.740 I mean you would
00:23:16.160 tend to believe
00:23:16.920 that person
00:23:17.400 or outlet
00:23:17.880 was giving you
00:23:18.580 all the facts
00:23:19.200 in a well-rounded
00:23:20.320 and complete way.
00:23:23.180 And there were
00:23:23.820 lots of answers to that.
00:23:24.940 Lots of people
00:23:25.680 mentioned me
00:23:26.760 as somebody
00:23:28.640 that they would trust
00:23:29.440 and I appreciate that.
00:23:31.340 There were a number
00:23:31.680 of other names.
00:23:33.500 A lot of them
00:23:34.320 you would recognize.
00:23:35.300 They tend to be
00:23:35.900 the independent voices.
00:23:37.720 And I thought to myself,
00:23:39.640 is there something
00:23:42.400 evolving here
00:23:43.500 or self-evolving
00:23:44.760 in which
00:23:46.360 the independent voices
00:23:48.440 become sort of
00:23:50.400 an important
00:23:50.900 fact-checker
00:23:51.880 at least on the logic
00:23:53.860 and bias
00:23:55.440 and cognitive dissonance
00:23:56.900 and that stuff
00:23:57.500 of what you're seeing
00:23:59.060 in the news.
00:24:00.240 I feel as if
00:24:01.560 there is
00:24:02.980 sort of developing
00:24:04.620 or evolving
00:24:05.520 a set of
00:24:07.220 trusted outsiders
00:24:08.600 of which I get
00:24:10.680 lumped into.
00:24:11.880 So you've got
00:24:12.440 your Jordan Petersons
00:24:14.260 and your
00:24:14.780 I won't name names
00:24:17.040 because there are
00:24:18.020 lots of names
00:24:18.540 I can throw in there
00:24:19.320 and you're going to say
00:24:20.060 you left one out.
00:24:21.420 Don't leave one out.
00:24:23.140 Yeah.
00:24:23.880 So I feel as if
00:24:25.660 we're getting close
00:24:27.260 to the point
00:24:27.680 where it's somehow
00:24:28.440 going to get organized
00:24:29.500 to the next level.
00:24:30.840 Either self-organized
00:24:32.220 or somebody
00:24:33.280 puts together a book
00:24:34.320 or it becomes
00:24:35.040 a website
00:24:35.500 or somebody
00:24:36.980 develops a system
00:24:37.980 or a process
00:24:38.860 by which every
00:24:40.260 news story
00:24:41.000 can be bounced
00:24:42.760 against the independents.
00:24:44.420 Let me put a little
00:24:46.500 more bones
00:24:49.540 on this idea
00:24:50.300 or meat on the bones.
00:24:52.640 Apparently YouTube
00:24:53.700 and Google
00:24:54.920 are going to
00:24:55.520 demonetize people
00:24:56.840 that they call
00:24:57.460 climate deniers.
00:24:59.720 Obviously climate
00:25:00.720 change deniers
00:25:01.560 because allegedly
00:25:03.020 we have a climate.
00:25:05.240 So you've got
00:25:08.040 that happening.
00:25:09.200 But is that the
00:25:09.800 best way
00:25:10.460 to handle news
00:25:11.840 things that you
00:25:12.600 as the platform
00:25:13.980 believe might be
00:25:15.480 misleading
00:25:16.060 or take people
00:25:17.500 to the wrong place?
00:25:20.500 Demonetizing it
00:25:21.460 is a dangerous
00:25:23.500 kind of anti-free
00:25:24.960 speech way to go.
00:25:27.160 The alternative
00:25:28.280 would be
00:25:28.920 I'll just put this
00:25:29.860 out here.
00:25:31.040 What if YouTube
00:25:32.240 instead of
00:25:33.440 demonetizing
00:25:34.340 climate deniers
00:25:35.340 simply gave you
00:25:37.660 a link to
00:25:38.500 a basket of
00:25:40.180 people who
00:25:41.000 would give you
00:25:41.680 a broader
00:25:42.160 context?
00:25:43.860 People who
00:25:44.580 are neither
00:25:45.020 deniers
00:25:45.640 nor
00:25:46.280 avid supporters.
00:25:49.480 Maybe people
00:25:50.120 who haven't
00:25:50.480 even decided.
00:25:51.760 But just people
00:25:52.300 who are not
00:25:52.620 lying to you.
00:25:53.840 Just people
00:25:54.520 who are not
00:25:54.880 liars
00:25:55.340 who are also
00:25:56.520 paying attention.
00:25:59.140 That can help
00:26:00.260 you a lot.
00:26:00.940 In the same way
00:26:01.600 that,
00:26:02.340 I guess this is
00:26:03.020 a bad analogy
00:26:03.660 Bill to do it
00:26:04.140 anyway,
00:26:04.700 in the same way
00:26:05.200 I talked earlier
00:26:05.900 how a beginner
00:26:07.160 might be better
00:26:08.080 at teaching
00:26:08.900 a beginner.
00:26:10.840 Maybe you
00:26:11.560 don't need
00:26:12.060 the scientist
00:26:12.640 to help you
00:26:13.500 sort everything
00:26:14.120 out.
00:26:14.560 You need
00:26:14.840 them also,
00:26:15.620 right?
00:26:15.840 Don't ignore
00:26:16.300 the scientist.
00:26:17.480 But maybe
00:26:17.960 you also need
00:26:18.840 just some
00:26:19.920 people who
00:26:20.660 have just
00:26:20.960 looked into
00:26:21.500 it more
00:26:21.800 than you
00:26:22.100 have and
00:26:23.100 you know
00:26:23.380 they're not
00:26:23.780 liars and
00:26:25.300 you know
00:26:25.560 they're not
00:26:25.920 crazy and
00:26:27.240 you know
00:26:27.540 that they
00:26:28.380 have FU
00:26:28.880 money or
00:26:29.320 whatever and
00:26:29.820 they just
00:26:30.420 don't have
00:26:30.720 a financial
00:26:31.260 incentive to
00:26:31.960 lie to you.
00:26:33.100 And I think
00:26:33.780 the only people
00:26:34.360 who don't have
00:26:35.000 a financial
00:26:35.540 incentive to lie
00:26:36.480 to you are
00:26:37.620 the people
00:26:38.020 who don't
00:26:38.500 know who
00:26:38.920 their advertisers
00:26:39.720 are.
00:26:41.720 Right?
00:26:43.520 The fact,
00:26:44.360 you know,
00:26:44.580 I make some
00:26:46.580 small amount
00:26:47.100 of money on
00:26:47.520 advertising when
00:26:48.940 it runs on
00:26:49.420 YouTube when
00:26:50.320 they don't
00:26:50.760 demonetize me.
00:26:52.500 And I don't
00:26:54.160 know what the
00:26:54.820 advertisements are
00:26:55.540 for because I'm
00:26:56.280 not the one
00:26:56.700 who runs them.
00:26:57.920 But the moment
00:26:58.700 I take
00:26:59.360 advertisement,
00:27:00.420 like, you
00:27:01.160 know, I talk
00:27:01.640 to an
00:27:01.900 advertiser and
00:27:02.580 say, I will
00:27:03.100 take your
00:27:03.460 money and
00:27:04.540 then I'll
00:27:05.020 associate it
00:27:06.780 with this
00:27:07.060 product.
00:27:07.880 Do you
00:27:08.320 think I
00:27:08.680 wouldn't be
00:27:09.120 influenced by
00:27:09.780 that?
00:27:11.100 I mean, I
00:27:11.740 take great
00:27:12.260 pride in
00:27:13.120 trying to
00:27:13.500 be not
00:27:14.240 influenced by
00:27:14.940 things, but
00:27:15.340 I would
00:27:15.620 totally be
00:27:16.320 influenced by
00:27:17.020 that.
00:27:17.760 I could try
00:27:18.600 hard not to
00:27:19.260 be.
00:27:20.300 I could
00:27:20.720 honestly want
00:27:22.160 to not be
00:27:22.660 influenced by
00:27:23.320 it, but
00:27:24.440 that's not
00:27:24.800 how money
00:27:25.300 works.
00:27:26.820 Money just
00:27:27.400 influences.
00:27:28.600 You can
00:27:28.980 want it not
00:27:29.600 to.
00:27:30.580 You can
00:27:30.980 want it not
00:27:31.660 to all you
00:27:32.160 want, and
00:27:33.340 then it
00:27:33.620 does.
00:27:33.880 Because money
00:27:35.780 is influential.
00:27:36.640 You can't
00:27:36.980 remove that
00:27:38.120 from money.
00:27:39.440 Money has
00:27:40.020 influence.
00:27:40.760 Here's some
00:27:41.160 money.
00:27:41.580 I just
00:27:42.020 influenced you.
00:27:43.120 No matter
00:27:43.720 how much
00:27:44.080 you swear I
00:27:44.840 didn't, on
00:27:46.480 average I
00:27:46.980 did.
00:27:47.640 Maybe not
00:27:48.080 every time,
00:27:49.120 but on
00:27:49.480 average money
00:27:50.060 influences.
00:27:51.280 So if
00:27:52.060 you're accepting
00:27:52.900 advertisements
00:27:53.580 from some
00:27:54.280 big advertiser,
00:27:55.700 you can claim
00:27:56.560 you're not
00:27:57.020 biased, but
00:27:58.640 there will be
00:27:59.280 stories you
00:27:59.920 don't cover,
00:28:01.480 and there will
00:28:02.260 be points of
00:28:02.900 view that
00:28:03.460 you might
00:28:03.820 minimize.
00:28:06.900 What is
00:28:07.600 clank?
00:28:12.320 A lot
00:28:12.980 of people
00:28:13.260 on YouTube
00:28:13.720 are saying
00:28:14.600 clank.
00:28:15.980 Does that
00:28:16.520 refer to
00:28:17.720 something?
00:28:19.960 Or do you
00:28:20.680 hear a noise?
00:28:21.340 I can't
00:28:23.120 tell what's
00:28:23.460 going on
00:28:23.840 here.
00:28:25.860 Sticks
00:28:26.380 and clank.
00:28:27.440 Oh, clank
00:28:30.640 is sticks
00:28:31.740 and hammer
00:28:32.100 666.
00:28:35.020 Okay.
00:28:36.840 You can
00:28:37.580 say clank
00:28:38.180 all day
00:28:38.560 long, but
00:28:38.960 I still
00:28:39.280 won't know
00:28:39.660 what it
00:28:39.880 means.
00:28:40.660 But you're
00:28:41.340 welcome to
00:28:41.740 keep saying
00:28:42.460 it.
00:28:43.460 It would
00:28:43.840 be good
00:28:44.120 if you
00:28:44.440 no noise,
00:28:46.800 spoon
00:28:47.260 clankers.
00:28:48.120 I don't
00:28:48.860 know what
00:28:49.060 that means,
00:28:49.580 so stop
00:28:49.960 saying it
00:28:50.540 if you
00:28:51.520 think it's
00:28:51.860 useful.
00:28:54.680 Biden's
00:28:55.120 approval, we
00:28:55.780 talked about
00:28:56.200 how bad
00:28:56.560 it was, but
00:28:57.100 there were
00:28:57.360 a couple
00:28:57.660 points in
00:28:58.360 that I
00:28:58.660 didn't
00:28:58.860 quite see
00:29:00.460 before.
00:29:01.560 50%
00:29:02.500 said Biden
00:29:07.120 is not
00:29:07.620 an honest
00:29:08.060 president.
00:29:09.340 He ran
00:29:09.840 on honesty.
00:29:12.520 He ran
00:29:13.060 on honesty.
00:29:19.600 Coffee
00:29:20.200 spoon
00:29:20.680 goes
00:29:21.040 clank.
00:29:23.440 Oh, he
00:29:23.820 clicked for
00:29:24.520 yours to
00:29:25.680 brain
00:29:26.060 train his
00:29:26.620 audience
00:29:26.980 like
00:29:27.320 dogs.
00:29:30.660 Yeah, I
00:29:31.660 have no
00:29:31.880 idea what
00:29:32.300 you're
00:29:32.440 talking
00:29:32.640 about.
00:29:33.800 Okay, I
00:29:34.920 will ignore
00:29:35.220 it again.
00:29:36.300 I would
00:29:36.900 think the
00:29:37.320 good Trump
00:29:37.960 slogan for
00:29:38.680 2024, he'll
00:29:39.960 never do
00:29:40.380 this, but
00:29:40.900 just because
00:29:41.440 it's funny.
00:29:43.280 I'm going to
00:29:43.900 turn off
00:29:44.360 YouTube, I
00:29:45.700 think.
00:29:47.340 Should I
00:29:47.860 turn off
00:29:48.200 YouTube?
00:29:48.740 Because you're
00:29:49.320 ruining the
00:29:49.820 show with
00:29:50.400 whatever this
00:29:51.560 clank thing
00:29:52.200 is.
00:29:52.540 for some
00:29:53.800 reason over
00:29:54.300 on YouTube
00:29:54.740 all the
00:29:55.320 comments
00:29:55.720 say the
00:29:56.420 word clank
00:29:57.180 and they
00:29:57.800 won't explain
00:29:58.360 what it
00:29:58.700 is.
00:29:59.060 I guess
00:29:59.340 you're
00:29:59.940 supposed to
00:30:00.280 know what
00:30:00.560 that means.
00:30:01.820 Should I
00:30:02.080 turn it
00:30:02.400 off?
00:30:03.860 Oh, clankers 0.50
00:30:04.560 are Styx
00:30:05.200 followers, I'm
00:30:06.220 hearing over
00:30:06.700 here.
00:30:09.660 He's a
00:30:10.300 YouTuber, so
00:30:12.220 what's that
00:30:12.580 got to do
00:30:12.980 with anything?
00:30:13.300 All right.
00:30:19.440 A good
00:30:20.060 Trump slogan
00:30:20.680 would be
00:30:21.420 let's go
00:30:24.740 Brandon.
00:30:26.540 Now, he's
00:30:27.600 never going to
00:30:28.060 do that,
00:30:29.600 right?
00:30:31.060 He's never
00:30:31.740 going to do
00:30:32.200 that, but it
00:30:34.780 would be
00:30:35.040 hilarious if
00:30:35.740 he just
00:30:36.040 said, my
00:30:36.640 slogan is
00:30:37.200 let's go
00:30:37.600 Brandon.
00:30:40.400 It'd be
00:30:41.000 funny.
00:30:41.280 John Thompson
00:30:43.220 on Twitter
00:30:43.840 cleverly
00:30:45.560 thought that
00:30:46.340 we should
00:30:46.920 build that
00:30:47.320 into Biden's
00:30:48.460 slogan,
00:30:49.380 Brandon
00:30:49.700 builds
00:30:50.060 better.
00:30:51.820 Brandon
00:30:52.340 builds
00:30:52.720 better.
00:30:53.480 But I
00:30:53.840 pointed out
00:30:54.420 as a
00:30:55.200 professional
00:30:55.620 humorist
00:30:56.120 that you
00:30:56.460 should save
00:30:56.860 the joke
00:30:57.240 part to
00:30:57.680 the end
00:30:58.060 of it.
00:30:59.580 So it'd
00:30:59.880 be funnier
00:31:00.280 to say
00:31:00.580 build back
00:31:01.120 Brandon
00:31:01.520 for Biden's
00:31:03.460 slogan,
00:31:04.080 to mock
00:31:04.640 his slogan.
00:31:05.740 And then
00:31:06.180 John countered
00:31:07.400 my counter
00:31:07.880 by saying
00:31:08.460 build better
00:31:09.780 comma Brandon.
00:31:11.280 Build better
00:31:12.000 Brandon.
00:31:13.200 Instead of
00:31:13.840 build back
00:31:14.240 better.
00:31:15.000 Build better
00:31:15.560 Brandon.
00:31:17.160 None of
00:31:17.740 those things
00:31:18.120 are going
00:31:18.820 to happen,
00:31:19.280 but they're
00:31:20.160 funny.
00:31:21.720 I have
00:31:23.120 this fantasy
00:31:23.780 of Trump
00:31:24.640 running for
00:31:25.160 a second
00:31:25.520 term and
00:31:26.240 changing
00:31:26.620 his
00:31:26.880 personality.
00:31:29.660 Now,
00:31:30.300 of course,
00:31:30.720 the problem
00:31:31.020 would be he
00:31:32.000 wouldn't get
00:31:32.380 elected if he
00:31:33.080 changed his
00:31:33.540 personality.
00:31:34.340 But sort of
00:31:34.860 in my mind,
00:31:35.480 I think,
00:31:35.880 wouldn't it
00:31:36.120 be funny if
00:31:38.260 he just never
00:31:38.880 insulted anybody
00:31:39.980 or said
00:31:40.520 anything
00:31:40.940 provocative
00:31:41.640 the entire
00:31:42.440 second term
00:31:43.120 and the
00:31:43.900 news would
00:31:44.300 go crazy?
00:31:46.360 Because once
00:31:47.100 he's elected
00:31:47.560 for a second
00:31:48.080 term,
00:31:48.480 he doesn't
00:31:48.800 need the
00:31:49.120 publicity as
00:31:49.780 much to
00:31:50.920 get re-elected
00:31:51.700 some future
00:31:52.260 time.
00:31:52.940 So what if
00:31:53.460 he just
00:31:53.780 played against
00:31:54.460 type and
00:31:55.500 just completely
00:31:56.660 never insulted
00:31:57.480 anybody?
00:31:59.120 It wouldn't
00:31:59.520 be fun,
00:32:00.240 right?
00:32:01.280 And as I'm
00:32:02.200 thinking,
00:32:02.540 literally as I'm
00:32:03.660 thinking that,
00:32:04.260 I read this
00:32:04.740 headline today.
00:32:06.340 This is how
00:32:07.060 the headline
00:32:07.520 is written.
00:32:08.040 I'll tell you
00:32:08.460 it's fake
00:32:09.120 news,
00:32:09.580 but this is
00:32:10.280 the headline.
00:32:11.400 Trump says
00:32:11.920 many Haitian
00:32:12.620 migrants,
00:32:13.540 quote,
00:32:14.100 probably have
00:32:15.020 AIDS.
00:32:16.540 So let's
00:32:18.540 just say
00:32:19.100 that my
00:32:20.160 fantasy of
00:32:21.160 Trump softening
00:32:22.340 his rhetoric
00:32:22.960 and being a
00:32:24.020 little less
00:32:24.400 provocative,
00:32:25.940 well,
00:32:26.180 it doesn't
00:32:26.440 look like
00:32:26.740 that's going
00:32:27.080 to happen.
00:32:28.720 It doesn't
00:32:29.520 look like
00:32:29.920 we're going
00:32:30.140 to have
00:32:30.300 any softening
00:32:31.560 of the
00:32:31.880 rhetoric.
00:32:32.920 But this,
00:32:34.020 of course,
00:32:34.300 is fake
00:32:34.740 news.
00:32:35.400 Why is
00:32:35.780 it fake
00:32:36.120 news?
00:32:37.000 Listen to
00:32:37.660 the way
00:32:38.200 the headline
00:32:38.640 is written
00:32:39.220 and then
00:32:39.900 I'll tell
00:32:40.200 you the
00:32:40.420 story doesn't
00:32:41.000 support the
00:32:41.540 headline.
00:32:42.440 So the
00:32:42.660 headline says
00:32:43.220 Trump says
00:32:43.840 many Haitian
00:32:44.660 migrants,
00:32:45.800 quote,
00:32:46.040 probably have
00:32:46.980 AIDS.
00:32:48.700 What do
00:32:49.440 you hear?
00:32:50.900 Well,
00:32:51.320 what you
00:32:51.640 hear is
00:32:52.900 the press
00:32:53.460 who will
00:32:54.020 absolutely,
00:32:55.300 definitely
00:32:56.060 be turning
00:32:58.700 this into
00:32:59.380 Trump says
00:33:00.220 Haitians
00:33:00.960 have AIDS.
00:33:02.600 As in
00:33:03.480 all Haitians
00:33:04.220 have AIDS,
00:33:04.800 as in
00:33:05.880 the most
00:33:06.380 racist, 0.77
00:33:07.740 I don't
00:33:08.040 know,
00:33:08.900 homophobic
00:33:09.900 maybe,
00:33:10.660 thing you
00:33:11.100 could possibly
00:33:11.660 say.
00:33:12.300 But did
00:33:12.680 he say
00:33:13.040 that?
00:33:14.120 Do you
00:33:14.340 think he
00:33:14.600 said that?
00:33:15.680 The headline
00:33:16.340 says he
00:33:16.800 said it.
00:33:18.100 That many
00:33:19.140 Haitian
00:33:19.520 migrants,
00:33:20.140 quote,
00:33:20.860 probably have
00:33:21.840 AIDS.
00:33:23.300 Here's the
00:33:24.100 problem.
00:33:25.060 The part
00:33:25.460 they put in
00:33:26.040 quotes is
00:33:26.880 probably have
00:33:27.800 AIDS.
00:33:28.180 AIDS.
00:33:30.340 Here's
00:33:30.800 what he
00:33:31.040 said.
00:33:33.080 These
00:33:33.480 will be,
00:33:34.420 says many
00:33:34.980 of those
00:33:35.300 people,
00:33:35.620 he's talking
00:33:35.920 about the
00:33:36.360 Haitian
00:33:36.760 immigrants,
00:33:37.300 he goes,
00:33:37.580 many of
00:33:37.940 those people
00:33:38.440 will probably
00:33:39.300 have AIDS.
00:33:40.640 Many of
00:33:41.280 those people
00:33:41.780 will probably
00:33:42.360 have AIDS.
00:33:43.420 And if
00:33:44.020 they're coming
00:33:44.420 into our
00:33:44.780 country and
00:33:45.300 we don't
00:33:45.620 do anything
00:33:45.960 about it,
00:33:46.720 we let
00:33:47.340 everybody
00:33:47.640 come in.
00:33:48.860 So we
00:33:49.300 have hundreds
00:33:49.700 of thousands
00:33:50.180 of people
00:33:52.380 flowing in
00:33:52.880 from Haiti.
00:33:53.260 Haiti has a
00:33:54.200 tremendous AIDS
00:33:55.120 problem,
00:33:55.700 so here he
00:33:56.060 is giving
00:33:56.400 context.
00:33:57.040 AIDS is 0.91
00:33:58.120 a step
00:33:58.520 beyond.
00:34:01.540 AIDS is 0.91
00:34:01.880 a real
00:34:02.140 bad
00:34:02.400 problem.
00:34:03.540 I think
00:34:04.760 he means
00:34:04.980 a step
00:34:05.260 beyond even
00:34:05.860 COVID.
00:34:07.260 I assume
00:34:07.880 that's the
00:34:08.240 context.
00:34:09.280 But here's
00:34:09.660 the problem.
00:34:10.720 If you
00:34:10.980 take out
00:34:11.540 this
00:34:12.180 sentence,
00:34:14.320 that Haiti
00:34:14.860 has a
00:34:15.260 big AIDS 0.66
00:34:15.680 problem,
00:34:18.040 it's really
00:34:18.640 a sympathetic
00:34:20.080 statement about
00:34:21.040 Haiti.
00:34:21.720 They have
00:34:22.140 a big
00:34:22.420 problem,
00:34:23.420 and they
00:34:23.840 would import
00:34:24.660 this problem
00:34:25.300 in some
00:34:26.160 amount to
00:34:26.840 us if
00:34:27.320 we let
00:34:27.680 them in
00:34:28.040 without
00:34:28.320 checking.
00:34:30.480 Now,
00:34:31.260 you could
00:34:31.680 argue that
00:34:32.200 we should
00:34:32.540 or should
00:34:32.840 not do
00:34:33.280 that
00:34:33.660 separately,
00:34:35.000 but do
00:34:35.980 you think
00:34:36.260 that this
00:34:36.640 headline has
00:34:37.220 captured that?
00:34:38.260 Because they
00:34:38.800 take the
00:34:39.220 many part,
00:34:40.680 where he's
00:34:41.520 not saying
00:34:42.500 all Haitians
00:34:43.200 have AIDS,
00:34:43.940 they take
00:34:44.360 the many
00:34:44.720 part and
00:34:45.140 they separate
00:34:45.680 it out of
00:34:46.200 his quote.
00:34:47.720 They do
00:34:48.180 say he
00:34:48.680 said it,
00:34:49.820 but it's
00:34:50.160 not in
00:34:50.540 quotes,
00:34:50.980 the many
00:34:51.320 part.
00:34:52.060 So your
00:34:52.400 brain erases
00:34:54.240 the many
00:34:54.760 part,
00:34:55.080 and it
00:34:56.060 looks at
00:34:56.380 the
00:34:56.540 quote.
00:34:57.840 The
00:34:58.280 word many
00:34:59.480 should have
00:34:59.880 been within
00:35:00.360 quotes.
00:35:01.800 Because if
00:35:02.460 you put the
00:35:02.840 word many
00:35:03.260 within quotes,
00:35:03.960 you say,
00:35:04.700 many people
00:35:05.340 from Haiti
00:35:06.340 have AIDS,
00:35:07.740 you'd say
00:35:08.080 to yourself,
00:35:08.940 oh, I
00:35:09.720 don't know,
00:35:10.220 that might
00:35:10.520 be true.
00:35:11.480 Like, if you
00:35:12.420 have some
00:35:12.740 sympathy for
00:35:13.480 the Haitians,
00:35:14.640 gosh, there
00:35:15.120 are too
00:35:15.300 many of
00:35:15.640 them who
00:35:16.180 have this
00:35:16.540 terrible
00:35:16.820 problem.
00:35:18.480 It doesn't
00:35:19.100 sound like
00:35:19.620 anything except
00:35:20.220 a statement of
00:35:20.900 what's going
00:35:21.280 on over there,
00:35:21.820 and it's
00:35:22.000 pretty bad.
00:35:23.120 As soon as
00:35:23.640 you move the
00:35:24.140 many out of
00:35:24.640 the quote,
00:35:25.940 that's fake
00:35:28.000 news, because
00:35:29.420 it's misleading
00:35:30.220 even accurate.
00:35:31.720 It's accurate.
00:35:32.900 The headline
00:35:33.340 is accurate.
00:35:34.700 It's just
00:35:35.060 misleading.
00:35:37.840 Elon Musk
00:35:38.640 is moving
00:35:39.120 his Tesla
00:35:40.080 headquarters out
00:35:40.880 of California,
00:35:41.680 moving it to
00:35:42.220 Austin.
00:35:43.960 And one of
00:35:44.700 his reasons
00:35:45.120 was, he
00:35:45.560 said, it's
00:35:45.960 tough for
00:35:46.320 people to
00:35:46.700 afford houses,
00:35:47.620 meaning California,
00:35:49.160 and people have
00:35:49.800 to come in
00:35:50.240 from far away.
00:35:51.120 There's a
00:35:51.480 limit to how
00:35:52.020 big you can
00:35:52.700 scale in the
00:35:54.060 Bay Area.
00:35:55.800 There's a
00:35:56.500 limit to
00:35:57.920 how much he
00:35:58.620 can scale
00:35:59.300 up his
00:35:59.760 business,
00:36:00.600 because the
00:36:01.160 Bay Area
00:36:01.640 would limit
00:36:02.700 the people
00:36:03.080 who could
00:36:03.300 afford to
00:36:03.760 live there.
00:36:04.700 I love
00:36:05.580 how big
00:36:06.120 he thinks.
00:36:07.260 Now, who
00:36:07.580 knows if
00:36:08.220 this is the
00:36:08.700 only reason,
00:36:09.400 or there are
00:36:09.700 more reasons,
00:36:10.400 or he's just
00:36:10.760 mad at
00:36:11.220 California,
00:36:11.920 or he likes
00:36:12.860 Texas, it
00:36:13.720 could be a
00:36:14.120 political
00:36:14.440 statement in
00:36:15.260 part, who
00:36:15.800 knows?
00:36:16.640 Could be
00:36:17.120 many, many
00:36:17.680 reasons.
00:36:18.040 But I
00:36:20.060 love the
00:36:20.500 fact that
00:36:20.860 the reason
00:36:21.180 he gives
00:36:21.780 sort of
00:36:24.020 suggests that
00:36:24.740 the size
00:36:25.300 of Tesla
00:36:25.840 is going
00:36:26.360 to be
00:36:26.640 enormous,
00:36:27.380 like even
00:36:27.780 bigger than
00:36:28.320 it already
00:36:28.660 is, which
00:36:29.060 is enormous.
00:36:30.280 So I
00:36:30.540 just love
00:36:30.880 the way
00:36:31.100 he thinks.
00:36:31.500 He's
00:36:31.700 thinking in
00:36:32.060 the grandest,
00:36:32.880 largest scale
00:36:33.640 all the
00:36:34.100 time.
00:36:34.460 Let's go
00:36:34.740 to bars.
00:36:39.780 All right.
00:36:40.500 There's
00:36:42.560 some new
00:36:43.060 research on
00:36:44.420 sleep.
00:36:45.500 Apparently
00:36:45.820 sleep is
00:36:46.580 not just
00:36:47.140 good for
00:36:47.660 you in
00:36:48.000 all the
00:36:48.280 ways that
00:36:48.640 we know,
00:36:49.580 but they've
00:36:50.120 discovered that
00:36:50.960 there's a
00:36:51.500 kind of a,
00:36:52.180 this is a
00:36:53.500 weird term
00:36:54.200 for it,
00:36:54.580 but kind
00:36:54.860 of a
00:36:55.100 brainwashing
00:36:55.980 that goes
00:36:56.420 on.
00:36:57.580 So when
00:36:58.000 you sleep,
00:36:59.100 apparently
00:36:59.500 there's some
00:37:00.040 kind of
00:37:00.860 synchronization
00:37:01.880 of your
00:37:02.340 neurons that
00:37:03.240 allows this
00:37:04.600 chemical to
00:37:06.500 sort of
00:37:07.380 flush out
00:37:08.560 your brain.
00:37:09.740 It's a
00:37:10.200 cerebrospinal
00:37:11.680 fluid that
00:37:13.040 rushes into
00:37:13.600 your brain
00:37:13.980 when you're
00:37:14.320 sleeping,
00:37:15.440 filling in
00:37:15.980 the spaces
00:37:16.360 left behind,
00:37:18.360 and it
00:37:19.040 kind of
00:37:19.280 like clears
00:37:20.600 out the
00:37:21.020 gunk.
00:37:22.720 And the
00:37:23.300 thinking is
00:37:23.980 that if
00:37:24.960 you don't
00:37:25.260 get enough
00:37:25.660 sleep,
00:37:26.140 you're not
00:37:26.560 going to
00:37:26.800 clear out
00:37:27.300 the crap
00:37:28.300 in your
00:37:28.600 brain,
00:37:29.080 and it
00:37:29.540 would lead
00:37:29.940 to
00:37:30.660 Alzheimer's,
00:37:32.940 because they
00:37:33.880 think there's
00:37:34.240 some connection
00:37:34.760 there.
00:37:35.620 Now,
00:37:36.060 I'm going
00:37:36.580 to call
00:37:37.320 maybe fake
00:37:38.560 news on
00:37:39.240 this,
00:37:39.620 or it's
00:37:40.940 not news
00:37:41.360 so much
00:37:41.780 as you're
00:37:44.220 ahead of
00:37:44.480 me,
00:37:44.680 so somebody
00:37:45.040 says,
00:37:45.340 is that
00:37:45.520 Scott's
00:37:45.940 problem?
00:37:46.620 Because as
00:37:47.100 you know,
00:37:47.520 I famously
00:37:48.060 don't sleep
00:37:49.040 very much.
00:37:51.020 But I'm
00:37:51.540 going to
00:37:51.740 say I
00:37:52.540 don't
00:37:52.840 believe
00:37:53.420 this
00:37:53.960 science,
00:37:56.340 because here's
00:37:57.220 what I
00:37:57.860 observe,
00:37:58.520 and I
00:37:58.760 always look
00:37:59.120 for a
00:37:59.420 congruity
00:37:59.900 between what
00:38:00.800 science says
00:38:01.460 and what
00:38:02.240 I observe.
00:38:03.480 Now,
00:38:03.720 it doesn't
00:38:04.080 mean that
00:38:04.380 what you
00:38:04.640 observe is
00:38:05.280 the right
00:38:05.620 one.
00:38:06.140 It could
00:38:06.380 be the
00:38:06.680 science
00:38:07.000 is the
00:38:07.300 right
00:38:07.440 one.
00:38:08.120 But if
00:38:08.400 they're
00:38:08.540 out of
00:38:08.800 whack,
00:38:09.460 that's
00:38:09.760 a red
00:38:10.000 flag.
00:38:11.440 For
00:38:11.880 example,
00:38:12.800 science says
00:38:13.460 that smoking
00:38:14.380 cigarettes causes
00:38:15.260 lung cancer.
00:38:16.720 And sure
00:38:17.020 enough,
00:38:17.740 I observe
00:38:18.200 that most
00:38:18.680 of the
00:38:18.840 people who
00:38:19.200 have lung
00:38:19.520 cancer smoke
00:38:20.520 cigarettes.
00:38:21.780 Fits.
00:38:23.160 But when
00:38:23.800 you observe
00:38:24.740 something every
00:38:25.680 day and it
00:38:26.260 just doesn't
00:38:26.900 fit what the
00:38:27.400 science is
00:38:27.840 telling you,
00:38:28.260 you should
00:38:28.520 at least ask
00:38:29.040 the question.
00:38:29.560 It doesn't
00:38:30.680 mean the
00:38:30.960 science is
00:38:31.380 wrong.
00:38:32.320 But here's
00:38:32.820 my pushback
00:38:34.240 on this.
00:38:35.700 My observation
00:38:36.380 is the
00:38:37.000 people who
00:38:37.460 don't sleep
00:38:38.100 much,
00:38:39.280 and this
00:38:39.960 is a
00:38:40.260 generalization,
00:38:41.020 doesn't apply
00:38:41.480 to every
00:38:41.800 person,
00:38:42.620 the people
00:38:43.040 who don't
00:38:43.400 sleep much
00:38:44.080 use their
00:38:45.820 brains more,
00:38:47.500 meaning that
00:38:48.320 they're awake,
00:38:49.280 let's say,
00:38:49.820 three or four
00:38:50.360 more hours
00:38:50.960 than other
00:38:51.300 people,
00:38:52.020 and during
00:38:52.680 that time
00:38:53.240 their brain
00:38:53.800 is active.
00:38:55.020 They might
00:38:55.340 be learning
00:38:55.800 something,
00:38:56.340 doing something,
00:38:57.180 et cetera.
00:38:57.840 And there
00:38:58.300 seems to be
00:38:59.040 a correlation
00:38:59.780 between how
00:39:01.360 much you tax
00:39:02.160 your brain
00:39:02.720 and how much
00:39:04.000 you can put
00:39:04.500 off Alzheimer's.
00:39:07.100 See?
00:39:07.660 So there's
00:39:08.680 a little
00:39:09.300 interplay here
00:39:10.160 between keeping
00:39:11.560 your brain
00:39:12.020 active and
00:39:12.680 learning new
00:39:13.220 things and
00:39:13.720 exercising it,
00:39:14.940 which people
00:39:15.540 who don't
00:39:15.880 get much
00:39:16.280 sleep do
00:39:17.460 a lot of
00:39:17.960 because we're
00:39:18.320 just awake
00:39:18.780 more hours.
00:39:20.180 I do a
00:39:21.160 full day's
00:39:21.640 work before
00:39:22.200 most of you
00:39:22.660 wake up.
00:39:23.140 You know
00:39:23.360 that,
00:39:23.620 don't you?
00:39:24.840 Except for
00:39:25.480 the East Coast,
00:39:26.100 of course.
00:39:27.000 But I do
00:39:28.520 the equivalent
00:39:29.060 of two or
00:39:29.720 three lifetimes,
00:39:31.680 I think,
00:39:32.920 in the time
00:39:33.860 that you
00:39:34.140 spend doing
00:39:34.700 one.
00:39:35.580 If I
00:39:36.980 get
00:39:37.180 Alzheimer's,
00:39:38.600 and I
00:39:38.900 suppose I'm
00:39:39.380 jinxing
00:39:39.840 myself now,
00:39:41.240 I'm not
00:39:42.380 really the
00:39:42.840 demographic
00:39:43.380 that is
00:39:44.820 likely to
00:39:45.440 get it
00:39:45.860 because I
00:39:46.860 exercise
00:39:47.480 continuously.
00:39:48.860 I'm always
00:39:49.380 exercising.
00:39:50.380 I have the
00:39:50.780 right weight
00:39:51.300 and I
00:39:52.020 challenge my
00:39:52.840 brain by
00:39:53.340 learning new
00:39:53.900 things even
00:39:54.460 at my
00:39:54.860 current age.
00:39:56.540 So I'm
00:39:57.400 doing all
00:39:57.740 the right
00:39:58.560 things,
00:39:59.040 diet and
00:39:59.380 exercise and
00:40:00.180 brain exercise.
00:40:01.660 But what
00:40:03.660 I do
00:40:03.940 wrong,
00:40:04.780 clearly,
00:40:05.380 is getting
00:40:05.760 enough sleep
00:40:06.880 that might
00:40:07.720 allow my
00:40:08.740 brain to
00:40:09.220 flush out
00:40:09.760 in this
00:40:10.580 good way.
00:40:11.940 I'm going
00:40:12.540 to guess
00:40:13.020 that I
00:40:14.300 would be
00:40:14.600 less likely
00:40:15.300 to get
00:40:15.660 Alzheimer's,
00:40:16.380 given the
00:40:16.780 things that
00:40:17.200 I do
00:40:17.480 right,
00:40:18.480 than someone
00:40:19.080 who doesn't
00:40:19.780 do those
00:40:20.180 things as
00:40:20.880 right but
00:40:21.840 gets a lot
00:40:22.280 of sleep.
00:40:25.140 And then
00:40:25.720 weed, of
00:40:26.100 course,
00:40:26.440 makes me
00:40:27.620 better.
00:40:28.700 I don't know
00:40:29.400 if that's
00:40:29.700 true, I just
00:40:30.140 like it.
00:40:31.100 Matthew
00:40:31.400 McConaughey
00:40:31.980 broke his
00:40:33.320 silence about
00:40:33.960 whether he's
00:40:34.400 going to run
00:40:34.760 for governor
00:40:35.260 and it
00:40:36.720 looks like
00:40:37.060 he's leaning
00:40:37.480 against it
00:40:38.180 because he
00:40:38.480 doesn't think
00:40:39.020 he could make
00:40:39.840 a difference.
00:40:40.820 He's worried
00:40:41.340 that whatever
00:40:41.760 he did there
00:40:42.340 just wouldn't
00:40:42.880 be enough
00:40:43.200 difference.
00:40:44.600 Now,
00:40:45.440 that's the
00:40:47.180 least surprising
00:40:48.080 thing I've
00:40:48.640 heard.
00:40:48.860 I never
00:40:49.560 thought he
00:40:49.920 was going
00:40:50.180 to run
00:40:50.400 for governor.
00:40:51.500 There's
00:40:51.980 something about
00:40:52.540 Matthew
00:40:52.920 McConaughey
00:40:53.460 that bugs
00:40:54.920 the hell
00:40:55.420 out of me
00:40:55.880 and I want
00:40:56.900 to see if
00:40:57.260 any of you
00:40:57.700 have the
00:40:58.220 same experience.
00:41:00.140 Now,
00:41:00.520 as an
00:41:00.980 actor,
00:41:02.100 he's great.
00:41:03.540 Like,
00:41:04.400 you know,
00:41:04.780 if he's in
00:41:05.260 a movie,
00:41:05.920 I'm more
00:41:06.300 likely to
00:41:06.780 watch it
00:41:07.140 than not.
00:41:07.920 I can't
00:41:08.640 think of
00:41:08.980 a single
00:41:09.480 movie.
00:41:10.020 I didn't
00:41:10.320 enjoy his
00:41:10.920 performance.
00:41:12.100 Great
00:41:12.520 actor.
00:41:13.260 One of our
00:41:13.900 best in
00:41:15.020 terms of
00:41:15.560 just star
00:41:16.260 quality.
00:41:17.100 You'd like
00:41:17.620 to see his
00:41:18.180 old deal.
00:41:20.280 But when
00:41:20.900 he does
00:41:21.360 his commercials
00:41:22.540 or when
00:41:23.300 he's just
00:41:24.360 talking as
00:41:25.100 himself,
00:41:27.260 there's
00:41:27.700 something that
00:41:28.260 bothers me.
00:41:28.900 And it
00:41:29.800 wasn't until
00:41:30.400 today that
00:41:30.940 I could
00:41:31.260 figure out
00:41:31.700 what it
00:41:31.940 was.
00:41:33.020 And here's
00:41:33.440 what it
00:41:33.740 is.
00:41:34.820 It's the
00:41:35.260 uncanny
00:41:35.740 valley.
00:41:37.640 It's not
00:41:38.360 the way
00:41:38.580 he looks
00:41:39.060 necessarily.
00:41:40.280 I don't
00:41:40.520 think it's
00:41:40.880 his physical
00:41:41.400 look.
00:41:42.220 There's
00:41:42.500 something about
00:41:43.400 his personality
00:41:44.340 that isn't
00:41:45.980 registering as
00:41:47.200 quite human.
00:41:50.160 Anybody
00:41:50.720 else get
00:41:51.180 that?
00:41:52.260 So you
00:41:53.360 could Google
00:41:53.940 uncanny
00:41:54.500 valley so I
00:41:55.160 don't have to
00:41:55.500 re-explain that
00:41:56.280 because I've
00:41:56.720 explained it too
00:41:57.300 many times.
00:41:57.700 Because when
00:41:58.380 something is
00:41:59.040 close to
00:41:59.880 looking human
00:42:00.540 like an
00:42:00.940 android but
00:42:02.000 not quite
00:42:02.480 there, it
00:42:03.460 gives you
00:42:03.820 some kind of
00:42:04.320 creepy revulsion
00:42:05.300 because it's
00:42:06.440 like, wait,
00:42:07.700 you're almost a
00:42:08.880 human but you're 0.52
00:42:09.540 a zombie.
00:42:10.060 Ah, that's
00:42:10.740 gross.
00:42:11.460 Or you're
00:42:11.960 almost a
00:42:12.540 human but
00:42:13.120 you're an
00:42:13.400 android.
00:42:13.800 Ah, that's
00:42:14.420 gross.
00:42:14.980 Somebody said
00:42:15.500 Zuckerberg has
00:42:16.240 the same
00:42:16.580 vibe.
00:42:18.100 Yes, in a
00:42:19.440 different way.
00:42:20.860 There are
00:42:21.400 real people who
00:42:22.940 because of the
00:42:23.740 way they present
00:42:24.380 themselves look a
00:42:26.360 little off-model.
00:42:28.980 And in
00:42:29.520 McConaughey's
00:42:30.640 case, if I
00:42:31.820 had to guess, I
00:42:33.440 feel like maybe
00:42:34.740 the way he
00:42:35.500 presents himself
00:42:36.220 on camera in
00:42:36.960 public, probably
00:42:38.020 different than he
00:42:38.700 does in person.
00:42:40.240 Probably.
00:42:41.120 It looks like he's
00:42:42.300 acting a little
00:42:43.180 bit, but since
00:42:44.640 he's trying to be a
00:42:45.520 real person, the
00:42:47.620 acting to be a
00:42:49.180 real person makes
00:42:50.140 it look like
00:42:50.900 there's something
00:42:51.280 wrong.
00:42:52.540 I feel like.
00:42:53.860 Here's my guess.
00:42:54.760 And with all
00:42:56.340 due respect to
00:42:57.680 Matthew McConaughey
00:42:59.280 who, by all
00:43:00.060 reports, seems to
00:43:01.440 be quite an
00:43:02.000 excellent person.
00:43:03.080 Very talented.
00:43:04.500 I feel like there's
00:43:05.960 a genuine Matthew
00:43:07.200 McConaughey that's
00:43:09.620 we're not seeing.
00:43:12.140 And I'd like to.
00:43:13.460 Because by all
00:43:14.180 reports, pretty
00:43:15.200 awesome guy.
00:43:16.200 I feel like he
00:43:17.260 just needs to
00:43:17.900 remove a layer
00:43:19.280 of artifice that
00:43:23.440 maybe he doesn't
00:43:24.840 even know he's
00:43:25.360 putting on there.
00:43:26.600 Just a little
00:43:28.120 advice.
00:43:28.840 I don't know.
00:43:29.580 Because I have a
00:43:30.260 positive feeling
00:43:30.900 about him just in
00:43:31.940 general.
00:43:32.940 But that thing, I
00:43:34.000 don't know.
00:43:34.940 Sometimes we all
00:43:35.740 need a little, a
00:43:37.280 third party to say,
00:43:38.540 you know, I'm
00:43:38.900 looking at you and
00:43:39.840 something's off.
00:43:42.260 Maybe you could
00:43:42.660 adjust that a little
00:43:43.400 bit.
00:43:44.140 By the way, people
00:43:44.840 say the same sort of
00:43:46.340 thing to me.
00:43:46.960 I mean, a different
00:43:47.480 topic.
00:43:48.440 But as a public
00:43:49.560 figure, believe me,
00:43:50.940 I get plenty of
00:43:52.580 advice.
00:43:54.000 And I have to say
00:43:55.020 that I've told you
00:43:55.820 this before.
00:43:56.280 When you get
00:43:57.440 criticisms as a
00:43:58.580 public entity or
00:44:00.820 person, the
00:44:02.760 recording that
00:44:04.540 should play in
00:44:05.280 your mind as
00:44:06.720 you're being
00:44:07.160 criticized is
00:44:08.860 ka-ching, 1.00
00:44:10.380 ka-ching. 1.00
00:44:11.060 People are giving
00:44:11.520 you free money.
00:44:12.940 They're telling you
00:44:13.440 how to be better.
00:44:14.700 And being better is
00:44:15.360 free money.
00:44:16.940 So, yeah, it is
00:44:18.080 criticism and it
00:44:18.980 hurts and it hurts
00:44:19.760 your feelings.
00:44:20.240 And your ego is
00:44:21.620 damaged.
00:44:22.860 But, cha-ching, if
00:44:25.340 you're going to do
00:44:25.840 something about it,
00:44:26.580 it's free money.
00:44:27.560 So, so take the
00:44:28.900 free money.
00:44:30.860 The, the shooter
00:44:32.600 and the, so there
00:44:34.340 was a school
00:44:34.800 shooter.
00:44:35.380 Again, I won't
00:44:35.920 give his name or
00:44:37.080 the location.
00:44:38.580 Don't like to give
00:44:39.520 details on these
00:44:40.220 shooter stories.
00:44:41.700 But it turns out
00:44:43.500 that we have a
00:44:44.140 little more detail
00:44:44.740 and that the 50
00:44:46.360 year old boy shot
00:44:47.940 his bully.
00:44:48.660 seven or eight
00:44:50.420 times.
00:44:51.380 Now, he also
00:44:51.940 shot a teacher
00:44:52.800 in the back and
00:44:55.400 he grazed a
00:44:56.180 teenage girl before
00:44:57.480 going on a run.
00:44:58.500 But the person he
00:44:59.660 primarily was
00:45:00.440 focused on was his
00:45:01.540 bully.
00:45:04.280 Somebody says he's
00:45:05.160 18.
00:45:10.040 Well, I'm reading
00:45:10.880 the story right
00:45:11.520 out of the
00:45:11.760 headlines.
00:45:12.320 It said, oh,
00:45:15.540 was it the 15
00:45:16.400 year old boy was
00:45:16.980 the one who
00:45:17.320 punched him?
00:45:18.420 No.
00:45:19.840 Oh, he shot a
00:45:20.420 15 year old boy.
00:45:21.220 Thank you.
00:45:21.980 Thank you.
00:45:22.700 So the, the
00:45:23.280 person who was
00:45:23.940 the shooter was
00:45:24.560 older and the
00:45:25.900 person he shot was
00:45:26.520 a 15 year old boy.
00:45:27.760 And the, um, I
00:45:29.900 guess the 15 year
00:45:30.700 old had repeatedly
00:45:31.520 punched him.
00:45:33.740 So we, of course,
00:45:36.080 do not celebrate
00:45:36.900 any violence on
00:45:38.720 live stream, uh,
00:45:40.360 YouTube.
00:45:40.760 You listen to me,
00:45:41.740 Google talking to
00:45:42.500 you.
00:45:43.320 We do not
00:45:44.140 celebrate or
00:45:44.940 condone any kind
00:45:45.960 of violence.
00:45:47.720 How many of you
00:45:48.720 celebrated when
00:45:49.580 bin Laden got 0.69
00:45:50.460 killed?
00:45:51.940 Anybody?
00:45:53.240 Anybody?
00:45:54.160 Did any of you
00:45:54.780 feel happy when
00:45:56.740 bin Laden got 0.69
00:45:57.620 killed?
00:46:02.060 Well, I can't
00:46:02.780 be proud of it,
00:46:03.500 right?
00:46:04.280 You're probably
00:46:04.720 not proud of it.
00:46:06.240 Well, I'll bet
00:46:06.620 you did.
00:46:08.340 When I heard
00:46:09.240 that a bully got
00:46:10.220 shot seven or
00:46:11.300 eight times, I
00:46:13.240 was happy about
00:46:13.860 it.
00:46:14.040 I was happy
00:46:15.360 about it.
00:46:17.140 I would like to
00:46:17.920 see more, uh,
00:46:18.800 no, I don't, I,
00:46:19.820 that would be
00:46:20.280 promoting.
00:46:21.100 I'm not going to
00:46:21.600 promote violence.
00:46:23.060 And I don't
00:46:23.720 promote violence
00:46:24.340 against anybody,
00:46:25.100 including bin
00:46:25.820 Laden.
00:46:27.420 But it is a
00:46:28.380 fact that when I
00:46:29.600 read this story and
00:46:30.420 I heard that a
00:46:30.960 bully got shot
00:46:31.580 seven or eight
00:46:32.180 times, I didn't
00:46:32.720 feel bad for the
00:46:33.360 bully.
00:46:34.420 Didn't feel bad.
00:46:36.240 Felt, uh,
00:46:38.280 felt a lot of
00:46:39.140 sympathy for the
00:46:39.860 shooter.
00:46:40.100 Felt like the
00:46:42.300 shooter was more
00:46:42.900 of the victim than
00:46:43.620 the bully was.
00:46:45.460 Now, there's a
00:46:46.300 different story with
00:46:47.000 whatever happened
00:46:47.560 with the teacher and
00:46:48.980 whatever happened with
00:46:49.640 the teenage girl.
00:46:50.960 Obviously, there
00:46:51.620 needs to be
00:46:52.060 consequences for
00:46:53.140 this.
00:46:54.160 Uh, but if the, I'm
00:46:55.340 just saying
00:46:55.700 hypothetically, if the
00:46:56.860 only thing that
00:46:57.620 happened is that the
00:46:59.280 bully had been shot
00:47:00.740 seven or eight times
00:47:01.580 and nobody else had
00:47:02.360 been injured, put me
00:47:05.240 on that jury.
00:47:06.680 You know what I'm
00:47:07.120 saying?
00:47:08.680 You, I would fight
00:47:10.840 to be on that jury
00:47:11.760 because I'm going to,
00:47:14.340 I'm going to get them
00:47:15.020 off.
00:47:15.720 Or at least I'll hang,
00:47:16.660 I'll hang the jury for
00:47:17.900 sure.
00:47:18.700 There is no way on
00:47:20.740 this, on this earth,
00:47:22.460 I'm going to put
00:47:23.400 anybody in jail for
00:47:24.380 shooting their bully.
00:47:26.820 I'm not.
00:47:27.800 You can, and I'm glad
00:47:29.040 that the law doesn't
00:47:29.940 allow it, right?
00:47:31.160 The law needs to, you
00:47:32.360 know, it needs to be
00:47:32.940 illegal, of course.
00:47:35.160 And you don't, and I
00:47:35.880 don't promote it.
00:47:36.660 I promote no
00:47:37.640 violence whatsoever.
00:47:39.080 But when it happens,
00:47:41.120 there's no way I'm
00:47:42.640 going to convict that
00:47:43.380 guy for killing.
00:47:45.300 No way.
00:47:47.000 Nope.
00:47:48.460 Might thank him.
00:47:49.940 Might shake his
00:47:50.500 hand.
00:47:51.520 But of course, this,
00:47:52.740 that doesn't really
00:47:53.500 apply to this story
00:47:54.340 because he broke
00:47:55.400 other laws and hurt
00:47:56.600 other people and,
00:47:57.700 you know, there's,
00:47:58.300 there's no forgiving
00:47:58.960 that.
00:47:59.980 Yes, he's going to
00:48:00.920 have to pay for
00:48:01.400 that.
00:48:03.880 All right.
00:48:04.580 Lastly, many of you
00:48:08.520 asked me about the
00:48:09.800 status of Boo the
00:48:11.980 cat, who I've been
00:48:13.060 trying to get to eat
00:48:13.980 solid food for two
00:48:16.260 weeks now.
00:48:17.760 Yesterday was the
00:48:18.560 first time she ate
00:48:19.220 solid food.
00:48:20.220 So I had to take her
00:48:21.100 off some meds, and
00:48:22.480 that's going to be a
00:48:23.200 problem because she 1.00
00:48:24.660 has to go back on
00:48:25.340 some antibiotic at
00:48:26.340 some point.
00:48:27.220 But she was scarfing
00:48:28.580 down her treats 1.00
00:48:30.500 yesterday and was
00:48:32.620 getting her energy
00:48:33.500 and attitude back,
00:48:34.580 and that looked
00:48:35.020 good.
00:48:36.260 However, there's a
00:48:39.340 but to the story,
00:48:40.880 which is that she
00:48:43.700 has cancer.
00:48:45.360 So her immediate
00:48:46.480 problem was not
00:48:47.560 the cancer.
00:48:48.220 It was just
00:48:48.760 discovered in the
00:48:50.140 context of treating
00:48:51.240 an unrelated problem.
00:48:53.880 So the cat is on
00:48:55.720 the roof.
00:48:57.120 She is happy and
00:48:58.660 doing well today.
00:48:59.960 But we will not
00:49:02.920 have her with us
00:49:03.720 next year.
00:49:04.900 Don't know how
00:49:05.460 long it'll last.
00:49:07.440 Don't know yet if
00:49:09.100 there is any recourse.
00:49:12.400 You know, chemo is
00:49:13.180 an option, but if the
00:49:14.640 cat is already
00:49:15.220 weakened and she's 0.89
00:49:16.680 sort of in a weakened
00:49:17.300 state from an
00:49:18.120 unrelated surgery,
00:49:20.400 probably chemo is
00:49:22.360 not the option it
00:49:23.460 would be with a
00:49:24.040 healthy cat, an
00:49:25.200 otherwise healthy
00:49:25.840 cat.
00:49:27.220 So we may not have
00:49:28.440 that option.
00:49:28.860 but we're going
00:49:29.960 to try for it,
00:49:31.440 meaning that I
00:49:32.240 will try to get
00:49:32.740 her as healthy
00:49:33.240 as possible.
00:49:34.660 I will get as
00:49:36.960 much good advice
00:49:38.220 from the veterinarian
00:49:39.180 as I can.
00:49:41.460 And I will
00:49:42.620 do it again.
00:49:47.920 So that's that.
00:49:48.820 We'll have it.
