I'm trying to quit smoking and it's not going so well. I think about time travel and wonder if maybe there are some time travelers in the universe. I don't know, but I'm going to do some research and see if I can find out.
00:10:03.780But it's a great time to kind of act out, I think.
00:10:07.120And I think it's nice also because we've been needing something in America that, especially in America, maybe in the world, that just shows us that Mother Nature is the boss.
00:10:15.940You know, we're kind of hooked on us being the boss.
00:10:22.060You know, we're one fancy tidal wave from everybody, you know, being out on the street, you know, shanking each other out for cans of albacore fish.
00:10:37.260You know, we are one long, you know, thunderous earthquake away from people, you know, setting traps in the park to try and get a pair of new shorts.
00:10:54.680You know, I mean, that's where we're at.
00:10:57.660I think we've gotten so caught up in ourselves, we're almost bored in America, you know, in the way that we don't – we're starting to forget that we're humans in a way.
00:11:10.100I don't know if that makes sense to anybody.
00:11:11.200We're starting to forget that we're humans.
00:11:13.120You know, like being human doesn't seem as important as like being right or being wrong or being selfish.
00:11:18.800Those things seem to have taken utmost importance.
00:11:25.280So I'm glad that Mother Nature's coming just to do a little bit of aerial work, you know, a little bit of Cirque du Soleur, you know, get out there and show her nuts off.
00:11:34.620Because you know Mother Nature's transgender, don't you know?
00:12:44.060You know, it's kind of ball, that's pretty gangster, you know?
00:12:48.820It's like, yeah, anybody could just eat dirt, dude.
00:12:51.040But what about this dirt brulee I'm about to have?
00:12:55.440I respect people like that, people that have an imagination even in the toughest of times.
00:12:59.360Yeah, I hate to say that, but I mean, maybe that's wild, but I feel like we need something in Mother Nature or in the world.
00:13:07.860And I don't want to, you know, I've thought about a war even, to be honest, you know?
00:13:11.380I mean, I don't want to see loss of life and that sort of thing, but we need something that helps us all realize that we are on the same page, you know?
00:16:26.140So I just would love to be, because if you're in the trenches, if there's something on the line, if there's a war, there's a natural disaster.
00:16:33.080If the alien's coming, you know, then we're, then you're going to have to team up with some, it's not going to matter.
00:16:39.700You know, because then we're all going to be on the same side.
00:16:44.140We're going to realize that we're all humans.
00:16:46.240We're not just weirdos hiding behind Twitter, threatening each other and fighting.
00:16:51.220And I use Twitter, but GD, man, let's shut it down.
00:17:38.520If you're not familiar with Jerry Lewis, which a lot of people aren't, a lot of younger people are not familiar with Jerry Lewis, you know?
00:17:52.580When you're 91, I mean, you, you know, you probably have a lot of, you'll take your shirt off and I bet there's kind of a dust or something in it.
00:18:32.360I mean, it was almost like a fish in like a cane pole.
00:18:35.040Like it just was trying to catch fish out of his mouth.
00:18:37.340I mean, this man had the longest nose hair I'd ever seen, you know?
00:18:42.560And part of me often wonders if at night, you know, after he brushed his teeth, he might pull that fine sucker down and floss his little beautiful, his beautiful little chest pieces in his mouth, you know?
00:18:57.140Floss those beautiful enamel pawns he's got.
00:18:59.580But, yeah, when you get older sometimes you don't know what's going on, you know?
00:19:06.940They had a man in our neighborhood, he had a big hump on his back, you know?
00:19:12.920This man named Big Dan, but they called him Moby Dan because of the hump, you know?
00:19:18.800They kept him out of the sun and then his cousin would walk around usually.
00:19:23.620And his cousin was probably maybe 20 years younger, but his cousin would kind of put, they didn't have an umbrella, but he'd put like a tarp over.
00:19:32.620And Moby Dan, that's just what the kids kind of joked and called him, but he had this big old hump and it just kept growing.
00:19:40.280And it got almost higher than his head, dude.
00:19:43.200I mean, if a bunch of pirates would have seen him, they probably would have damn thrown harpoons in him.
00:19:47.080You know, he's big too, fat, blubbery, Rubenesque, they called it at the time, you know?
00:19:52.440Pretty happy man though overall, I remember that.
00:19:54.860But I know that if it was real bright out and he had to be outdoors or if he was at a picnic, whatever, that his cousin would kind of throw a tarp over him to keep the sun off of him.
00:20:04.640And I always thought that that was pretty sentimental, you know?
00:20:07.100When somebody in your family cared enough to cover you up with a tarp or to, you know, hold something over your head so that the sun or the elements didn't get you, you know?
00:20:17.240I wish people in our neighborhood would have done that with their cars and stuff, a lot of rust.
00:20:20.820And I grew up really not in the rust belt, in the tetanus belt where you needed a shot if you were planning on getting out and about into the world.
00:20:32.760If you want to go back and watch some of his work, go watch the original Nutty Professor.
00:20:38.380And you can see at the time, I mean, Jerry Lewis was, they don't have artists like him anymore.
00:20:42.580They don't really allow you to function at that level of confidence, very rarely.
00:20:48.340Like you'll see like a Neil Patrick Harris can do that when he's hosting like the Tony Awards or something where he's singing, he's dancing, he's telling jokes.
00:21:31.260You know, and I just wish that talent these days had that freedom.
00:21:34.140You know, these days it's almost like the art caters, we got to get the episode moving so that it can get to the commercial break so that, you know, we'll keep the commercials happy.
00:21:44.020Whereas if you look at older stuff and older pictures, it looked like it was more, just like the whole, whatever the production was, the show, the film, it could breathe a little bit.
00:24:44.300I'm guessing alcoholics because everybody else is hanging out with their children and tending, you know, to their kids and keeping sun out of each other's eyes.
00:24:51.420And these men are out there urinating.
00:24:53.760You know, firing off things that they drank in previously the day before today and dripping that out of their wieners out into the water.
00:25:01.160And I'm getting spooked because I'm like getting pushed in that general direction, right?
00:25:05.640And then it gets closer and closer and it's like, you know, sometimes the ocean, you don't realize how powerful it is.
00:25:11.160So, I literally have to like go underwater and swim under this, you know, this urine that these boys are doing.
00:25:21.800And that's one of those moments too where you just realize that, you know, that Mother Nature is in control, that life isn't always going to go how you want it, you know.
00:25:32.420So, that was kind of like if I don't see the solar eclipse to tomorrow, having to hold my breath and swim under water that had other men's urine in it coming straight down.
00:25:45.080Just, I mean, just straight down, you know.
00:25:48.600I mean, it was probably, the water I was hitting was probably at that point 4, 4% urine.
00:25:52.820But when you know it's coming in hot like that, it's alarming.
00:25:55.860But anyway, swam under that, that was my eclipse, you know, swimming from regular water and then having to swim pass in front of two adult men doing urine.
00:27:40.120But I probably had four cigarettes yesterday.
00:27:42.100But, man, they just make me feel squirreled up.
00:27:44.820You know, they make me feel like, I don't know, they make me feel like there's, like there's just little mites in my body that don't, that aren't happy.
00:27:57.900That's what they make me feel, they make me feel like something's in me that's unhappy.
00:30:13.360Even if you go outside to peek on what it is, I think this is one thing that's going to bring people together, even if it's just for a minute.
00:30:19.840I mean, I think here in L.A. we can only see it for a minute and a half.
00:30:22.900And we only get about 63% of the sun will be eclipsed.
00:30:27.380I don't think it's going to be like nighttime.
00:30:29.080But if it is, dude, pull out some nighttime antics.
00:31:04.020If your boss lets you out to watch the eclipse and they don't require you to have glasses or give you glasses, we're talking about one of the potential greatest class action lawsuits of all time.
00:41:35.040Nobody's coming in to get the radio fixed or to, you know, or to, you know, buy some new software or something.
00:41:42.080I don't even know where you work, you know.
00:41:44.940Nobody's coming in to, I mean, maybe if you ran like a horse place, somebody would come in to get a couple of horses, you know, because it's the last day of their lives and they've never done horseback riding.
00:41:55.080Or if you ran like a roller skating thing, you know, people want to probably come and maybe spend a little bit of time in the rink.
00:42:02.000But, Tom, you're talking about going to work.
00:43:58.460But I think by 1 p.m., that last day, that most of the world would be probably naked.
00:44:03.740Just to have that feeling of, what does this feel like?
00:44:06.860You know, have I been caged up in my clothes?
00:44:08.800You know, what kind of existence have I been living that I was kind of forced to live into just by the bumper lanes that were put on the society around me?
00:45:36.760I think you would have people like, outside of the deviant uncles and the swingers and the people who, you know, put more of their balls into the sexual court.
00:45:46.640I think you'd have a lot of people who are, who are lovers.
00:45:50.680Um, who would probably do that too, you know.
00:45:53.740Who would maybe just sit there with their whole family and hold hands.
00:45:57.060You know, maybe, um, uh, play a game or just go around in a circle and tell stories, uh, about how you really felt about each other.
00:46:06.680Because you'd have to get everything off your chest, you know.
00:46:09.940You'd have to, you know, you'd have to get rid of all the, the pain and the hurt and all the love and the, the affection and the hope and the, you'd have to get it all out.
00:46:20.880I mean, I bet a lot of people would be calling people like around 11 a.m. that they always were in love with and afraid to tell them.
00:46:45.760Because there's something very manly about that, even though you say that that's sappy.
00:46:49.700There's something manly about, you know, that you're going to be there with, with this lady that you love and not let her go into oblivion alone.
00:46:56.500Or at least not let her think that she is.
00:46:59.480You know, and I think there's something, uh, there's something still.
00:47:02.000Chivalry's not dead, even though the world is, huh?
