00:03:39.000They're going to have a whole show dedicated to hate crimes.
00:03:44.000But that brand is like, and I don't think those guys, I mean, Dick Wolf and Arthur Formy, when I first, I did it years ago, when I first did it, Arthur Formy was the director when I did it.
00:03:55.000And that was like, I think like in 2000. And then recently, people love to watch those shows where they get the bad guy.
00:04:18.000That's why you find so many people that necessarily don't have a lot of talent but they subscribe to the bad guy side of it and want to be negative and then everybody draws to that.
00:04:28.000The bad guy is winning like a motherfucker.
00:04:36.000I'll just say like this, and I'm not being specific to anybody in general, even in the world of podcasts right now, the model for a lot of people now is like, Say some outlandish shit.
00:04:52.000Say some shit that's going to piss somebody off.
00:04:54.000Say some shit that's going to make people hate you.
00:05:22.000If your whole business is conflict, people don't want to be in conflict all the time.
00:05:26.000And they realize that a lot of conflict is unnecessary.
00:05:29.000And if you're the type of person that likes to talk about conflict constantly and talk about it online, you probably also are willingly participating in it, maybe a little too willingly.
00:08:00.000Because I tried to get that pause to get my thought back.
00:08:03.000I don't know what the fuck you just gave me, but it just erased everything I was just thinking about.
00:08:08.000You were talking about as you get successful, it's easier to avoid conflict, which I probably agree with.
00:08:15.000Also, you're comfortable enough where you could recognize the patterns that are beneficial and not beneficial to you in your life.
00:08:24.000And conflict is never beneficial to me.
00:08:27.000Even conflict that I've engaged in that was necessary.
00:08:31.000So that's been your entire, not even as a fucking young Joe Rogan, you didn't have the injury like, fuck this or fuck that motherfucker, I don't give a fuck.
00:11:56.000It just so happened, being in that situation, I went up, I ripped it, and when I ripped it, the first time I went on stage, I knew, I was like, this is what I will be doing For the rest of my life.
00:12:09.000And with that thought, Joe, I didn't feel like, I'm gonna be rich, I'm gonna be famous, I'm going to have a TV show?
00:12:19.000For the first time I went on the stage, only thing I want to do is be good.
00:12:22.000That's almost to this point in my career now.
00:12:25.000I'm like, if you're good, and this applies to anything in life, if you're good at something, and you're really good at it, and you're passionate about it, and you study it, and you just live by that, eventually you're going to get the rewards of that.
00:12:37.000I never was like, I'm going to get a TV show.
00:12:39.000I was just like, man, if I'm good, I'm going to be able to work at this club.
00:12:43.000If I'm good, I'll be able to work at this club.
00:12:45.000And then things will start Happening for me.
00:12:48.000So I think when I first started, my friends and family, they was really, really rooting for me to do it.
00:12:54.000And the moment I went on stage, I was like, this is what I will be doing for the rest of my life.
00:16:02.000And it's not to be like, Nasty enough, you just can't help it anymore.
00:16:07.000You just feel like you gotta say something.
00:16:09.000It's so funny, so years ago, me and Tracy Morgan was at a show, and me and Tracy Morgan started comedy about the same time, and he was like, man, I'm sick of these wack motherfuckers, man.
00:16:18.000He said, I just want to say something.
00:16:19.000I said, but you know, you can't heckle the comedians.
00:16:24.000Go all across the country to comedy clubs, not to perform, just to heckle motherfuckers from the seats, which I thought was a fucking brilliant idea.
00:18:10.000And it's so funny you mention his name, because something came on my thread like a day ago, and Dave Taylor's the type of guy, not even hearing what he said, you look at him and you say, I said, I need to write more jokes.
00:18:23.000You're like somebody, their mere presence lets you know you gotta write more jokes.
00:18:28.000Because out of all the years, and I've watched David Till 30 years.
00:18:32.000I can't remember a time when he hasn't went on stage with the mindset, I'm working on some new shit.
00:19:10.000What I was going to say is that it tells the best example because what he did was he quit drinking and then immediately got way better and just keeps getting better.
00:19:19.000All that focus is now just on stand-up.
00:26:11.000Even that's not what you really meant.
00:26:14.000What I'm saying is, like, I think out of all the things, acting is probably, even though some people are ingenious at it, don't get me wrong, the most doable to a person.
00:27:17.000And then, if you get really famous for playing make-believe...
00:27:20.000At a certain point in time, you're probably like, who the fuck am I? Who actually am I? Oh, who do I want to be?
00:27:26.000Yeah, I mean, but you think you are this person because you are getting all this adoration from all these people that see you play different people in movies.
00:28:08.000You, and I know this is a crazy question, you've heard it before, and it's like a generic question when you have a comedian that's done some acting stuff.
00:28:16.000Is it more challenging for you acting or more challenging as a stand-up developing new material?
00:28:26.000Well, it depends on what you'd be doing for acting.
00:28:30.000Like, I've never done a real dramatic movie or a dramatic role in a TV show.
00:28:35.000Everything I've ever done has just been silly.
00:28:39.000So, that's a different kind of acting.
00:28:41.000Like comic acting is, you know, it's just, it's basically like scripted shit talking.
00:28:45.000Yeah, but at some point, even with acting, there's a moment, this is the scariest part for me.
00:28:51.000I can go in front of 25,000 and thank you, you've created platforms where I can do that many people.
00:28:57.000I can go in front of 25,000 people and it feels...
00:29:04.000But it's the silence of when you know there's like 150 people behind the camera that relying on what you do right now.
00:29:13.000And that silence, quiet, When everybody's completely focused on that one person, one that got to deliver that line and then action, that shit is terrifying.
00:29:28.000I'm telling you, I've done shows with you and Dave where you guys created platforms that come out in the arena like I'm about to beat the fucking world up.
00:29:36.000But the minute you say, quiet, and you're like, and...
00:34:00.000There's things that a person has, like a type of charisma that a person has, like a person like yourself, that you either have that or you don't.
00:34:11.000And if you have it, and you can deliver it in some form Some way.
00:36:02.000But I think for me, even when acting has made it fun, the times I get it, is that I've made enough success in comedy And create a pretty good lifestyle off of that,
00:36:17.000that I don't have that pressure of having to book a role.
00:37:13.000And then they realize, oh my God, I'm so connected to the TV system that if it goes down because of the pandemic or another pandemic, I don't work for a year and a half.
00:37:22.000Like, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:37:23.000I think that made people have to figure out what their pivot was.
00:37:27.000Yeah, well, you can't rely too much on a system that doesn't give a fuck about you.
00:37:33.000And a system that, if you're paying attention to where it's going, a large amount of it is about to get sucked up by AI. Like a giant chunk.
00:39:07.000This is what's going to happen eventually.
00:39:10.000And this is not the right thing to say, especially about Hollywood.
00:39:15.000The idea of agencies The idea of A&R, all of those jobs are about to be gone.
00:39:25.000And the only thing you're going to have is content creators.
00:39:28.000And the content creators are going to cut the middleman of the agency out and they're going to go straight to the advertisers and the people that pay the money.
00:39:38.000You having to be connected with a certain entity or a certain agency, and they probably kill me after this, Joe.
00:42:15.000So that was, it was a regular job in stand-up comedy.
00:42:19.000But the point I was making about, even with that, the different definition of comedienne people, and they always, they like, oh, the old heads have a way of thinking, yeah, this and that.
00:42:30.000The thing that you have to credit It's the work ethics you have to have to get to a certain level.
00:42:38.000If you want to say a social media comedian, it's a certain level, it's a certain work ethics you have to be to get consistent with that.
00:42:48.000But the problem is, what some people have issues with is like, yeah, but some of them not that good.
00:42:55.000You know how hard it is to get good at something when you're already a millionaire doing it at whatever level?
00:43:02.000You know, what pushed us when we were coming up was that if I get good, I can get the money.
00:43:08.000But now it's like they got the money, so what is the urgency unless you get that one or two that really, really care about the craft?
00:43:17.000Who cares about being good at it when the end result is I'm getting paid off the shit?
00:43:22.000Well, you always want to be good at what you do, don't you?
00:43:25.000Some people, but the level of getting good at, now it's different.
00:43:29.000Today, people are getting good at knowing algorithms.
00:43:53.000Like Mr. Beast, that's a perfect example.
00:43:57.000That guy figured out how to make the right captions and how to make the right image that you click on for the YouTube videos, the right title.
00:44:08.000And then he figured out how to just keep dumping money into his product.
00:44:13.000And he figured out exactly where the algorithms are and he has it translated into different languages.
00:44:28.000But here's the thing, I feel like if you have AI, like whatever the next generation of chat GPT is, You could be able to devise a very effective business plan that like really made sense.
00:44:45.000The AI would sort of guide you step by step.
00:44:48.000Like this is what you're gonna do to achieve success.
00:44:52.000If you write for 20 minutes every day, that will increase your time of material by 50 minutes over the course of the next 10 months, and if you do all the calculations, you're like, holy shit, is that real?
00:45:06.000And if you really thought about it that way, like through artificial intelligence, you let it guide your career, it would probably do a fucking amazing job of putting you into the perfect position.
00:47:11.000And that's one of the things that we did when we opened up the club was set up a whole...
00:47:18.000These are the nights you're going to have open mic.
00:47:22.000We're going to have comedians audition to be door people so that they'll be able to see guys like Dave Attell, who's just there this weekend.
00:47:31.000And then you'll have this very clear pathway.
00:48:31.000If you, on those streets, Second Avenue, any of those streets, if you drive 28 miles an hour, You will catch every light from like 23rd Street to up 115. That's a fact.
00:48:43.000I know you didn't know when I tried it.
00:48:50.000A couple cats and dogs will get ran over in that process, but as long as you maintain that consistency of 28 miles an hour, you won't stop.
00:49:01.000That was a fact that I know you didn't know.
00:51:57.000He was like, I can put you in front of any audience you have ripped the room, he said, but doesn't make it a great special.
00:52:02.000He said, of everybody and the umbrella of the home team, That people are really anticipating because of your connection with that show is you.
00:52:10.000If we're going to do it, we got to get it right.
00:52:13.000It was tough because I'm like, oh, this is going to be the joint to give me a platform for people to see me do stand-up.
00:52:26.000If I were to shot a special with masks in it, It automatically dates you to 2020. As soon as you turn around, it's like, oh, this shit was during the pandemic.
00:53:18.000Once a year where the whole fucking world just shuts the fuck down.
00:53:24.000Yeah, that would be great, except you can't tell people to shut things down because then you're going to give the power to the government to shut things down whenever they want for a week.
00:53:32.000And then they might decide two weeks is better, maybe a month.
00:53:35.000You can't give them the power to shut things down.
00:53:39.000If people decide to not do anything...
00:53:41.000Well, we should vote so we can vote on like a lockdown, like National Lockdown Day.
00:53:46.000You don't want to take away freedom from people.
00:54:00.000When you make somebody do something, when you make somebody wash their hands, when you make somebody give you six feet, when you make them do something, it forces some type of change.
00:54:09.000I'm not saying forever, but I think that we should have a joint where we just lock down everything for like a fucking week.
00:54:51.000It's like that came along to an already compromised human, which is not to say that you shouldn't try to help compromised humans, but I'm saying that it's not what they were selling it as or what people were terrified that it was going to be.
00:56:11.000We went down from a team of 24 and every day, this is when I knew it was getting bad because I used to plan like the lunches for everybody and we had lunch like at 12 o'clock every day and they were like, I wonder what we're gonna have for lunch.
00:57:57.000There's like an excess death number increase that's pretty...
00:58:04.000If you were a statistician, if you're a statistics person, and you were looking at indications that something went wrong, you would say, well, was there anything that caused...
00:58:19.000These people's bodies to change where we're getting this large number of excess deaths.
01:01:16.000But in terms of what it did to the economy and what it did to the small businesses and all the small restaurants and how many people went into drug addiction because their fucking whole life, everything they worked for fell apart.
01:01:30.000How many people lost everything through no fault of their own?
01:01:34.000People that have been working for decades in restaurants and Small mom-and-pop shops, they would just all went under.
01:01:41.000None of them could handle that year and a half where you couldn't work at all.
01:01:46.000It doesn't make any sense, any sense that anyone could have ever watched that happen and see that 70% of the restaurants were crumbling in front of them and not to make some sort of a correction.
01:02:00.000It doesn't make any sense that they didn't.
01:03:08.000Yeah, well, what they should have done is listen to all the doctors instead of just the doctors that wanted to vaccinate people because there was a lot of doctors that were prescribing alternative treatments.
01:03:30.000Once you were in the hospital, they wouldn't let you have it.
01:03:32.000There was so much shit that went on that was just...
01:03:37.000If you wanted to be really, really clear with what you're looking at, you'd have to say, God, I think this is motivated more by money than taking care of people.
01:04:46.000If they really want complete total control, they'll trick you into telling you that you don't need to vote anymore because AI is going to equitably distribute all wealth, all...
01:05:03.000Social services, all housing, everything's going to be even for everybody.
01:05:31.000What happens is AI achieves what they call sentient AI. So what it is is at a certain point in time, if artificial intelligence gets good enough...
01:05:45.000It's going to be able to control itself and it's going to be able to make better versions of itself.
01:05:49.000It's not going to be as simple as you made a thing and now I programmed into the thing what the parameters of this thing are and now this thing can act like a person.
01:05:58.000No, you turn it into a life form and then you say you have the ability to create better versions of yourself.
01:06:07.000You're staring the shit out of me right now.
01:07:38.000Exponential means it's not as simple as like 1 plus 1 equals 2. You've got to think that with each, like, you know how they do like a funnel and they have a quarter and they spin the quarter around the funnel and at the bottom it gets faster and faster and faster.
01:07:56.000That's how Exponential increase in technology works.
01:08:01.000With each invention, it makes all these other inventions and they all accelerate.
01:08:06.000And as they do it, it happens so fast and so quick that this exponential thing is hard to understand because it's not like each step is one more.
01:08:18.000You know, like a 7.1 earthquake is like...
01:08:23.000Way stronger than a seven, and they just get bigger because it's exponential.
01:08:27.000That's the same thing with technology.
01:08:28.000It's gonna happen so fast that the increase in power and its ability to do whatever it wants to do is gonna happen so quick that once it becomes alive, it's just gonna make better versions of itself immediately.
01:09:09.000I go to Good Day Pittsburgh and all that type of shit, and where you used to go in those places, And see, like, 12 cameramen is one producer, and all the cameras are fucking robotic.
01:15:31.000I think that people go for a lot of things.
01:15:34.000I think a lot of people with religion, they think that you have to be perfect.
01:15:40.000To be part of it or to understand it, and I don't think that's the case.
01:15:43.000I do believe it's something that makes you feel good.
01:15:47.000People make the argument, is it real or is it not?
01:15:49.000But it's something that's spiritual that makes a person feel good, want to do better, and want to live the right way.
01:15:56.000So if I had a church, we're joking about it, but that would be like the type of energy that I would fuck with.
01:16:04.000Well, people would like something like that because there's a lot of people that don't want to go to like a traditional church, but they're interested in the idea of it.
01:16:14.000You know, the way it's been described to me, the best way, I think Jordan Peterson was the first person to tell me this, that even if you don't necessarily believe in God, if you live like you believe in God, You will live a better life if you follow those principles and just try to believe.
01:16:38.000Even if you think in your logical mind, which is really fascinating, right?
01:16:42.000Even if you think in your logical mind, what is the possibility that one grand creator has this insane connection to everything that happens all throughout the universe and there's some sort of a divine plan to every word you say and everything you do and every event that ever takes place in your life and everyone's life around you?
01:17:05.000A lot of people are like, I don't know.
01:17:08.000But if you do believe that, if you do believe that and you live like that, you'll have a better life.
01:17:14.000But I think everybody needs to believe in something.
01:21:59.000I do it just to say hi, because it's a good way to say hi, because if I'm driving to work or driving to the club or driving somewhere, it's like, I got dead time.
01:22:09.000I told myself this year, I was like, you know how we always, when you say, oh man, something happens, you're like, I was just about to call that person.
01:27:51.000But all those people under him, they should be asking him to step down and let a democratically elected person that can actually lead the country take his place.
01:28:10.000Listen, if they didn't want to stay in power, if they brought in Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom, once he gets in, he brings all of his own people.
01:31:37.000And a lot of times it has the opposite effect because they don't like why you're trying to change their mind and how you're trying to distort The facts of things and only concentrate on negative things just to try to change a perspective and to lie and gaslight and tell me that Biden's sharper than ever.
01:31:55.000Like when they start saying things like that, okay, now everyone knows you're bullshitting, okay?
01:32:02.000So if you've agreed that sometimes you're going to play this game, we're going to say things that don't make any sense that you know aren't true and that I know aren't True.
01:32:10.000And you're going to put them in the newspaper and you're going to put them on television.
01:34:19.000But the point is, it's like, it doesn't do anybody any good, but it's also so emotionally stressful, right?
01:34:24.000I agree with, but I'm going to tell you, this is my thought on co-parenting.
01:34:28.000First off, first part of the beginning of co-parenting, the first thing you, as a co-parent, first thing you don't, this is what makes the best co-parents.
01:34:35.000First thing is, that person can't get happy before you.
01:35:02.000And that usually is not the first beginning of it because the beginning of it, you don't give a fuck.
01:35:07.000And it's also like an emotional challenge.
01:35:10.000It's a challenge to just try to like get better control of your ability to communicate and just into, you know.
01:35:17.000I think you, and I know a lot of people in this situation, you grow into it.
01:35:23.000I never thought, in my situation, that would be me.
01:35:26.000I remember I was dating this woman some years ago, and her parents had split up when their brother and sister were really, really young.
01:35:35.000At the time we were dating, that family used to get together For holidays, they weren't seeing each other anymore.
01:35:41.000They would get together on holidays, they'd get together for sunny dinner, and I was like, they must still be fucking or something, right?
01:35:47.000Because I thought that that's the only way.
01:35:50.000Then I realized that in one situation with my son, I realized they were just trying to give the kids as much family and as a regular life as they possibly could not being together.
01:36:04.000And that experience made me want to be a better co-parent with my son.
01:36:10.000And we're finally at the point where we get along and we know the best interest at the end of the day is what we do for Austin.
01:36:32.000Like getting angry, like verbally abusive, shitty, insulting, like what people tend to go to right away because they're just trying to win and they're trying to like break the person down as they're trying to win the argument.
01:37:30.000Because otherwise, sometimes people will pollute the environment with a bad idea.
01:37:36.000I've had that situation in black podcasting.
01:37:40.000I had a situation, and I know I would leave names out, but the thing, like you said, with someone to hear, you know, as a commenter, to hear, you're not funny.
01:37:52.000In the common world of comedy, that's like the N-word of comedy.
01:40:56.000I don't want to hear none of that shit lame, cringe.
01:40:58.000You know, that's kind of like what we were talking about earlier.
01:41:00.000Like, if artificial intelligence gets to the point where it can formulate a game plan, and you actually follow that game plan, if artificial intelligence says, Donnell, we have sat down and devised a strategy to radically improve your popularity and your ticket sales.
01:41:32.000Creativity, at this point, has to come from a person, especially your kind of joke writing, the things that you make fun of, things that I make fun of, the things that are unique to whoever the individual is.
01:41:44.000The only thing that's gonna save us, and that's the people, if it's possible, Is that now, oh my god, they're going to be making robots.
01:41:52.000Seeing a motherfucker live is going to be something about seeing somebody live.
01:41:57.000I think that's the only thing that's saving TV is sports events.
01:42:00.000That's the only thing people really, really tune into is what I have to watch in that moment.
01:42:04.000Yeah, if you're watching a football game that is actually happening, there's a scramble, the ball gets thrown, someone's trying to catch it.
01:42:12.000If you're watching a fight, dude's getting knocked out.
01:42:16.000You're watching actual things that are happening in real time.
01:42:35.000So you can be sitting in your living room with a giant screen and move things around and swipe things to the left and swipe things to the right.
01:42:41.000So you can actually see stuff like glasses.
01:43:09.000And just by with your head in your hand, that's fucking crazy.
01:43:11.000Five years from now, Donnell, with AI? Think about that with AI, where it just...
01:43:19.000Brings you into a world where you literally feel like you're in that jungle in Avatar with the flying plants and all the Na'vi and all the fucking those crazy animals on the ground.
01:43:32.000Imagine like that being around you, like indistinguishable from reality.
01:44:31.000And again, that's one of the things I like about Yellow Springs, Ohio, and being there is disconnecting and going and do some regular shit.
01:44:39.000The only thing that's going to save us from all of this alien shit and everything you know, Joe, is this!
01:45:55.000I think getting in nature is going to be good for the individual, but I think for the species, I have a feeling we're the last of the Mohicans.
01:46:47.000I had a conversation with Ray Kurzweil.
01:46:50.000Who's one of the big names in artificial intelligence.
01:46:56.000And he's all super rosy about the future of AI and that it's inevitable and that we're all going to do this.
01:47:02.000And I'm like, well, what if someone gets in control of this?
01:47:06.000Someone is going to be somebody in control.
01:47:08.000And that's what scares the shit out of me, dude.
01:47:09.000And no one seems to have an adequate answer for that.
01:47:13.000And Elon is terrified of that, too, which really makes me scared.
01:47:16.000If that fucking dude's scared of it, okay.
01:47:18.000So that means that they know that we are building the type of technology that at some point we won't be able to control, is going to control us and take over us.
01:47:27.000It's inevitable that that's going to happen.
01:47:29.000Or we merge with it or we scale up our ability to control it as it gets implemented.
01:47:37.000So even though it's more intelligent than us, we can still control it.
01:47:41.000But we're always going to have a nutty professor.
01:47:44.000Well, the thing is, if it becomes a living thing, right?
01:47:48.000So what they're doing right now is everything exists in an actual computer.
01:47:54.000There's nothing that exists in a physical form except these robots that they're using to clean up kitchens and shit.
01:50:10.000If you were talking to someone, FaceTime from another place, that's normal shit now.
01:50:15.000Whatever the fuck that robot is, you take that robot that cleans kitchens and scale that bitch up 200 years from now, you got a sexy lady who's in lingerie, who's cleaning your house and sucks your dick, and you're never going to mess with real ladies again.
01:50:33.000And then the human race goes extinct because no one wants to breed anymore.
01:51:52.000And I asked her, I said, you know, with the success that you've had and everything, you're doing well for yourself, you do well for other people, you help other people.
01:52:13.000And that's a tough thing because sometimes women are so career driven that that part of them or that part of experiencing life, they don't really care about it or just say it's in passing.
01:52:24.000But she said that she does feel complete and it makes her like a better person.
01:52:29.000And she just got a nice mommy, mom energy.
01:52:48.000When they start buying different animals, like animals that the average person don't have, like orangutans and shit like that, that's when they be like, yep, I'm about to have a baby.
01:52:57.000She connected me with the people that run this wolf sanctuary.
01:53:00.000And I went up to the wolf sanctuary, and I thought I was going to like it, but I didn't like it at all.
01:53:12.000I mean, like they're helping these wolves and they're preserving these wolves and they take wolves off of ranches and capture them and keep them in this place.
01:53:20.000But man, it just it just bummed me out big time.
01:55:03.000The thing that bums me out is the primates.
01:55:06.000I went to the zoo in Denver and I remember we had gotten there right when we turned around this monkey cage, right when this monkey was just wailing.
01:55:24.000He just decided he couldn't take it anymore and he's in this cage and he's wailing.
01:55:29.000What year did they decide they couldn't take it anymore?
01:55:32.000Really like he's wanting to get the fuck up out of here?
01:56:53.000And the monkey was looking like, he was looking like, I wish the fuck somebody would say shit, but the cover back on, leave me the fuck alone.
01:57:01.000And the monkey was looking people directly in the eyes, Joe.
01:57:06.000It wasn't like the monkey discovered it.
01:57:10.000It was like, this monkey's like, this is how we get to fuck off work early.
01:57:14.000Did you ever see that video of the dude who's like sitting there and a monkey hops in his lap and then he's like trying to be cool with this monkey and the monkey just decides to scalp him?
01:57:22.000Just bites his head and takes a giant chunk of his scalp off?
02:00:49.000They have to give you a warning like, these are the babies snatching.
02:00:52.000I mean, it's like, here's the babies snatching monkeys, here's the Oreo-eating monkeys, and here are just the monkey monkeys with all the mental issues.
02:01:02.000Did you ever see the footage of Thailand when they were rampaging through the streets because all the tourists were gone because it was COVID? No.
02:07:41.000I was reading through a tourist thing about people going to the city, like, remember the last train leaves at 1806, so you don't want to get stuck there.
02:08:18.000Tourists are the only thing that probably kept them cool.
02:08:19.000I wonder if wolves will ever get to the point again where they become dogs again.
02:08:24.000Like, the reason why wolves became dogs is because people were having campfires, the wolves would come around, they'd feed them, and those are the ones that stayed close, their ears got floppier, and then they started breeding them, and then they became dogs, over thousands of years.
02:08:37.000I wonder if we'll fuck things up so hardcore, and wolves would be so everywhere again, the real wolves would be everywhere again, and we'll start doing dogs again from scratch.
02:14:31.000I'm going to send you this, Jamie, because this is just a very strange thing that happened at the club the other night that almost doesn't make sense.
02:26:46.000Doing that and being able to put people together and like she was really really serious about Making it look good get the right people involved.
02:26:58.000I remember I was talking to her She was in the middle of writing a script right and she's like I'm gonna put the script aside for a bit because I'm doing this documentary on violence.
02:28:56.000I always say that if you see a really good special, a really good special is like 60% to maybe 70% as funny as it is if you were in the place while it's happening.
02:30:28.000And then it was people walking past, you know, doing the show.
02:30:31.000And I was like, well, you remember live at Sunset Strip, Richard Pryor, one of the funniest lines you remember when he was like, look, white people left.
02:30:54.000And I think out of all the criticism and everything he said leading up to his reasons why he wanted to do it again, I think that I caught it.
02:31:04.000And people's like, do you think that was your best?
02:31:06.000In that moment, that night, it was the best I could be that night.
