  Speaker 1: it was funny to see him be like that because
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's so not what he's been like. But I but
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I Bill was sort of weirdly the inspiration for three
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: mics in a weird way because he had done a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: thing called The Moth and he talked about emotional stuff.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So so I just but I just did two of them.
• 1:26

• 1:29
  Speaker 1: don't feel depressed anymore. So I didn't. I wasn't going
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to force it. A dude, I did the show, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: did crazy good in DC, and a dude DM me
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: afterward and was like, I kept waiting for you to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: show up because he was basically saying like, why weren't

• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of the show like, Hey, I'm not sad, so just
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: enjoy yourself. Let me let me ask you a question.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: What got you out of that sad.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Because you've been up here several times? Yeah, you had
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a total different light, different space. And I was like,
• 2:06

• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I said Neil nick no, I said, so what got
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you into this? What got you into this new space?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Uh? Well I call it plant medicine. The cops call
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: them drugs, Okay. Uh. Honestly, the thing I talked about
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: before ayahuasca. Uh, this thing called d M T, which
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I don't recommend, but it was it kind of broke
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: my brain and then it re congealed into something better.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And then this past year M d M A has
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: been really good for if you do M d M
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: A in a non party space, it can be Uh,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it can, it can. In my ex as, it was
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a god connection that ecstasy.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So what made you think you needed that?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Like? What got you to the point where let me
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: try ihascle because I because I tried zoloft, I tried,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I tried everything, and uh and it was kind of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: working and this was it was just it was kind
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of a hail Mary, like let's see and uh. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the funny thing is people can tell like when you're like,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Neil's not that yeah, Like I'm just kind of different.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing orange. I mean, come on, but I am
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like energetically I'm different and it's due to that. And
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: then I've just gotten a lot of like it's the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: corniest shit in the world, but like gratitude, you've been
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: doing You've been on gratitude a long time. Absolutely. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: was talking to buddy of mine about how how I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I was, like, I was doing like a gratitude checklist.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I would do it once a day and I would
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: just go over the facts of my life because our
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: brains kind of write sci fi about like so and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: sows out to get you and she hates you, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: this and that and but none almost none of it's true.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And so I would do a gratitude checklist of like
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the facts of my life, like you are a successful comedian,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you have three Netflix specials, you're you know, you have
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a commitment to growth, you're curious, you're intelligent, you know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: all like at positive attributes. And then a buddy mine
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was and we were talking about Islam, and I go,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Islam's got it right where they're like they pray five
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: times a day, like you kind of need to. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: he goes, well, why don't you gratitude five times a day?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, So I've been doing that
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and I don't always get to five, but but I've
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: been doing that for the last four or five months,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and it's been it's been great. So you find something
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to be thankful full five times a day. Yeah, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: just do kind of the same list five times a day.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yea of like the facts of my life, Like I'm
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a health I mean, anyone that can hear this, things
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: are going pretty well. Even though if you're having a
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bad day or you're in debt or like, there are
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: things that are negative. But like if you live in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a in a world where you can watch this or
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: hear this, things are better for you than they are
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: for a lot of the world.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Do things check off on the you own waking up
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: mm hmm and making it home safely at night, that
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: is a very under appreciation. It's a very unappreciated blessing
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: to make it home at night.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody and make it home like either they not
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like they a lot of people die in work. No,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying, like you be aware, but like people die,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just stuff that's real basics, right, you forget and if
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you can, I've And it's it's like I said, it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: so corny, but like it's effective just doing just remembering
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: how fortunate you are.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, you know, will you ever fearful
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of losing their quote unquote touch right when you have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a speak sometimes rapers, it'd be like, I don't want
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: to give up the lean because that's I think that
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: helps me write better.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Did you ever feel like if I go through what.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going through, the aahuasc whatever you trying to get,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you know, over that that bump, that hump, that you
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: would lose your touch.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: As a comedian the genius?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I don't really there. I'm two minds about it, which
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: is one of them is I don't It's a reflex
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: at this point, like I've been known this like thirty years,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: so if a news story happens, I can kind of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: like you know, and uh, and if I lose it,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I had a good run, like I've started. Half Bay
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: came out twenty seven years ago, so no, I know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so like I've been I wrote for all that on Nickelodeon,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like I've been out here, wrote I was, yes, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was fighting the molesters, and uh, like I've been doing
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this a long ass time. So if it, if it,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: if I, if I lose the touch, I lose the touch.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But what what I found is the touch is a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: reflex at this point, like I can just I just
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: my brain does it out of the touch? Did you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: see any of that, Nickelodeon, thank you for bringing that up.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any of it, trum Mane, But but
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I am against it, so I hope. So now we're
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: on the record, and hopefully this will hold up in court.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christy, No, I didn't see that. Yeah.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Now, all your specials have a great name, but it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: not just names. If you've seen through mics, you know
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: why it's called through micros. Have you've seen blocks, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: know why it's called blocks. I'm assuming crazy good is
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: just crazy good.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, crazy good is actually okay. So one of the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: parts of the special is making fun of the commodification
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of mental health, like making fun of TikTok psychology and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: all that, and so I'm not against it, but I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: just feel like the amount of people making videos about
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: trauma and and uh and all the diagnoses of like
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you're being gasolt, just all that stuff is so aggravating.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: It's so aggravating, and it's also dishonest because none of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: these people have any idea what they're talking about. They
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: just hurt it on another TikTok. So I'm basically toward
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the end. I'm saying, you know you're you do go
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to therapy, take medication, do I do all the stuff
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you gotta do, But just know that most of the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: great things in life are from psychopaths and drug addicts.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Damn Jesus. I mean, if I'm wrong, let me know.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What's it? All right? All the all? The inventor Sigmund
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Freud open coke head. Most of Freud's books should be
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: called this maybe the Cocaine talking like there he was
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a coke head. Uh yeah, women are jealous of our dicks. Yeah,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: like it's real. KOCHI shit, Edison did coke. The Wright Brothers,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they were on coke, but like
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I mean or on math, but they had the metheist idea,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: which is like, hey, do you fucking feel like you
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: can fly? The all like the modern inventors elon musk
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: o something, yeah, ketamine or he's just out of his mind,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: And then I get into like what about musicians? Okay,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: The Rolling Stones had, in order to tour America, had
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to get a doctor to test them for drugs every day,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and the doctor lasted six weeks before he got hooked
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: on cocaine. Yeah, like yeah, hip hop, lean weed weed. Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: So so you know, there's just like there's and then
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I do comedians, Well, why are you guys all psychopathic
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and drug addicts? I'm like, so far Richard Pryor drug addict,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: George Carlin drug addict, Bill Cosby, choose your own adventure.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The modern ones like you know, Lenny Bruce a drug addict.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: John Belushi's a drug addict. John mulaney told me to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: remind people he's a drug addict in the bed like
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: people were all something. So I'm not saying don't treat it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying, you know, ride it, but I'm just
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: saying the audience needs to accept that where we're not.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The other thing that's been happening is like comedians are
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: like moral leaders, you know, like Dave or being a kid.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: It's like why it's they're these serious issues and like
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: transgender rights and stuff, and then how bankrupt are others
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: segments of society that they finally were like, well what
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: do the clowns think? Why are you asking us what
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: we think about these This should have never gotten to
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: our desk. It's for politicians and clergy and other leaders,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: but like, don't turn to Joe Rogan for vaccine advice. Yeah,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I think there's one though.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I would say when I watched George Carlin, now he
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: was very prophetic.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, but he also I can name a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: bunch of real dark shit, Like he had a bit
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: about Blamia rich bitch, won't eat fuck her. Not exactly
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the most ethical take he had, you know, he went
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: both ways. So again they were they we can be that,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: but the no one moves out to LA to be righteous.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Everyone moves out there would be funny and famous, you know.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: And it's the same thing with like is Ellen nice?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Is Ellen? And I'm like, first of all, Ellen's hilarious
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he and b she's a gay right icon, Like like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't need her to be. She came
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: out on television, got kicked off television for being gay,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and then came back and dominated. But that's not enough
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: for people. They're like, yeah, but is she nice? It's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: so childish. It's like being like, is my car also
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a boat? Just appreciate that you have a car? Also
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is Ellen nice? How many nice lesbians have you ever met?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Your entire life? You know what I mean. I say,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: we don't talk about toxic studs enough. I say it often.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I know, step up toxics, toxic studs. I wonder what.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Comedians right becuse they always talk about the trauma that
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: comedians have experienced. I wonder if it is the expectation
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of always having to make people laugh, you know a
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: psycho that is to get on stage in front of hundreds,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: thousands of people and say I'm going to make them last.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very hard job. Yes, it's a very
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: hard job, and it's a very weird job. Well how
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: do you do it on the Daily Show? How do
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you do meaning the difference between this and that?
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Well, because number one, I don't approach it from a
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: comediance perspective because I'm not a comedian.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And number thank you thank you for saying that.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yes I hate when they say that, but the Daily
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Show allows me to go in death on things I
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: might just touch here on the surface.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: But are you do you worry about getting laughs?
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: No? I rather really I'm also I'm more so concerned
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: with just saying something because that's when I look at
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the Daily Show, that's the type of institution.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: That it is.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I'm more so concerned about saying something that I know
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: people are going to actually being formed by and take
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: something away from and be like, oh, yeah.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: But you don't want to do that thing where you
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: do what might have been a punchline and you hear
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that air can conditioning unit in the background, you're like.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, oh, okay, I feel like I do that anyway
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: naturally though, I feel like, you know, you have to
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: use humor to push push things along.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Right, But there it's sort of like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: metered for laugh. So I'm just wondering if you get
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: it's not scared but like a little bit like you're yeah,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: scared kids, Yeah, yes, And and do you change your approach?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You just read what's on the you write it, read
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: what's on the problem.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I might be a psychopath or some type
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: of sociopaths. You know, you're going to either get the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: laugh or you're going to feel the pain of not right.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing is like, I don't you know
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of people. It's I have a hugehunk about
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: athletes too, because we want, you know, good mental health
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and sports. And I'm like, you know, I want good
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: mental health for everybody, but not athletes, Like we need
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: our athletes to be psychos? What we I repeat myself,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and we need our athletes to be Did you see
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the last dance? Did Michael Jordan seem mentally healthy to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you in the slightest giant mansion? One chair? Come on, guys, Uh,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: he's out of his mind. So what I'm saying punching
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Steve Kerr? And then I don't care. And then people
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: are like, well, he's you know, he's an angry guy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: He's not a great husband or that. I was like, well,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not married to him. I don't give a shit.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Be as long as you don't break the law, you
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: can be as rotten to the people around you as well.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Lebron said on his podcast the other day, in order
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to be great, you have to hurt your loved ones. Yeah,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and that's what the gambit is. All these people, any
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: great athlete is Tom Brady is out of his mind.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It's like you couldn't even be retired. Made it like
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: ten days and it was like, I don't know these
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: fucking kids, like you can't like you don't know all
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: any great is out of their mind. And I don't
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: even get into like OJM I'm talking about just like MJ.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Lebron's a little something right if he's saying in public,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you have to hurt your family like Lance Armstrong. The
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: joke I did on the show was like, I don't
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: even consider Lance Armstrong an athlete. I consider Lance Armstrong
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a criminal who found a bike. Like that guy is
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a criminal. He think about the worst lie you ever told,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and then imagine selling bracelets about it. This guy's gone
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: tiger Tiger. I mean that dude, he's like he's he's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: tokyo drifting at six thirty in the morning. These guys
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: are wired to and by the way, the women are too.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Like the gymnastics girls. We don't give those girls enough credit, man,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Like that's a crazy thing they're doing, a lot of
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: them are getting paid, a lot of them. We're getting
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: sexually abuse, which is insane. And you got to get
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it right, be first time, and you gotta stick the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: landing or you're not. You ain't getting no wheaties. You
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: ain't getting the cover of wheaties with the wobbly landing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: You gotta nail it. The figure skating girls, they look
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: like they're in trouble, like they've First of all, it
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: looks like they've never even seen makeup when they it's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: like when they do the thing the routine, and they
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: gotta like they've never it's like their first day with
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: makeup like Daldaldall, Daldaldall Shock Horror like there, and then
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: they gotta they and then they gotta they do like
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the hologram thing, uh, and then they gotta finish and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: sit in the booth with their kidnappers at the end.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I wonder if it's people being mentally unwell, are people
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: are really using their brains? And what I mean by
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: that is if you decide that, you know, you want
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: to wake up every day and just do the same
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: routine over and over, it doesn't really take much brain function.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: But people that are really having to open up their
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: brains and use their minds, it's just using their brain
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: to that fullest extent.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Does that just make you feel drive you crazy? I'll
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: make you seehim crazy? I don't I think that you know.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: The joke I did in the show is it's like
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: when you're doing a video when you're making a video
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: game character, you have like one hundred points for like
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: you know, dexterity and speed, and all that stuff. It's like,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what God does, and sometimes he just
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: gets the calibration wrong, you know what I mean. Like
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: with when God was making Woody Allen, they were like
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: how many He was like, how many points should we
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: give him for comedy and filmmaking. He's like, fuck it,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: give him a hundred. And then they were like, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that's not gonna make points for not fucking his family,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: and uh, I think that would be low emotional, Like you, well, yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: that's a nice way to put it. Uh, that's what
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: that's what the charges were. He low emotionally, I can't. Yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Like so I just think if you're you're good at
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: one thing, it's so weird. If you can rhyme good,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it's like wrap that's in your brain. Most people's brains
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: don't come up with couplets like that. Most people don't
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: see the world analytically. Most people don't see let alone analytically,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and uh, you know, funnily so it's just you're gonna
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: be deficient in other areas as long as you're not
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: breaking the law.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's the gifts that make you shitty
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: or the world that comes with the gifts?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, being a shitty person.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I think, oh when you I mean, I think you
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: have the gift, but it's I think it's the world
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: to access the power the money.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it. It's hard. I can't
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: think of many people that have been made. You have
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to make a real effort to uh stay centered with
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: all the because it just becomes like if everywhere you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: go people say you're in great shape, You're never going
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to go to the gym. I mean so if everyone's like,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: oh and anything for you, sir or miss or whatever,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: it's like you're just not. It's people will only be
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: as good as they have to be. That's been my experience.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It's like if or if you demand it of them,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: then they'll do it. But people will naturally do as
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: little as they It's like homework, Like what do I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: gotta do to get an I they if you're famous
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: and talent, you don't have to do much. You just
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: have to do the trick. You just got to be
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: funny when the when it's time to be funny, you know.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: With your resume and your talent and all the things
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that you've done, and how funny you are, do you
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: feel like you look you get overlooked a lot by
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: the public, like you should be a bigger comedian because,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like you said, the years that you put in this industry,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: from writing, from being on stage, from telling jokes all that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I don't I could say yes or
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: no because I kind of feel like there's no one
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: who I feel like I deserve there. I should be
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: in their place, right, you know what I mean? Like
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: when so and I also feel like certain people, the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: people that are like people that do arenas or whatever,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it's like they have real, like real performance attributes that
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily have, Like they're just really they walk
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on stage and you're like, well, this is gonna be
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I always tell Kevin Hart he is sunshine. He's sunshine, right.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I direct some of those Chase commercials. You cut to
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that motherfucker in a close up. The sun is shining.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: It can be an in, it can be in a house.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: He's just like, let me tell you something. Royle just
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: he's Dave is bugs bunny. He just is bugs bunny.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do about. Chris Rock talks like
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: a chainsaw, yang ing it like Ellen sounds like a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: flute and and a baby Jerry Seinfeld sounds like a clarinet,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so so all these people it's I mean, and I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: clearly I've thought about it, but it's I'm again the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: gratitude thing. You've had a great career. Yeah, I've had
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a dude, I've had an amazing like, yeah, I have
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: an announcement to make everybody uh so No, but I
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that's the thing is, like I I could focus on,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: like what why not? I'm what else? What else? What
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: would happen? What am I looking for? Like I need
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to be on private jets instead of business class? Like
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm I'm good Like I don't. I don't
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it like I wouldn't accept it
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: or I wouldn't accept a promotion in some ways, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: like I do theaters. I've come on here, people watch it,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and I yeah, it's I. I appreciate the question, but but
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I and and I was kind of hung up on
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that for a long time, but the last six months
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to a year just been like this is amazing, Like
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'm either in the ring or I have ringside seats,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: gotch for for for life. It's not like forever, but
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: like so far, you know, I.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Don't know if people know what Neil used to be called.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: You call him the Black comic whisperer, because you were
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: in all like the legendary black comics ears the chapels
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: to the rocks, Right. So when you see everything that's
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: been going on with black comedians this year, all started
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: by the club Cat Williams composition, What.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Are your thoughts? I always say Cat Williams is the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: most Cat Williams on a podcast or a show is
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: like Mike Tyson in the late eighties, where it's the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: most exciting ninety seconds in sports. We're like, God, damn,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: like you cut, he is gonna make some shit happen.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: He is like what they in basketball, what they call
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: instant offense, Like put him in, He's getting his shot off.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: So I don't. I mean, Kat's hilarious and the and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: some of the people e centrically entertain as one of
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the funniest people I've ever been around. Like some of
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the people he dissed, I'm like, I just disagree with
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: his his appraisal of them, and and almost like I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: everyone he talked about was really funny. And Cat's great
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and all the people he went after were great and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that's he felt that that's how a hit
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: needed to do it. But I'm gonna as I'm gonna
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: take my white ass out of it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Where do white comedians go to start beefs like that?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Is it rogan? Uh? A little bit? Yeah, it's I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: think it's a little it's it's it's caddy, But I
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: think it's more. I think I want to I don't
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: want to say like we keep it private, charlot man,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: but I I can't remember a time where there was
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: like shots fired like that, Like I don't it's just
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it didn't seem but I but it was. If you're
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: asking me, did I watch it twice? I did? Kat
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: on clubs?
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on comedians critiquing other comedians about
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: two things in particular, One whether or not another comedian
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: is funny, and two this I think it's to me,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: it's kind of a new phenomenon comedian saying other comedians
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: are making offensive jokes.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: The offensive thing is again, why are you asking the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: clowns for It's like, it's like, why are you going
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: to clowns for morality? You know, it's like eating a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Snickers and being like this is very nutritious. No shit,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it's a Snickers bar. I don't think. I think if
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: a comic criticized another comedian's morality, the critic probably isn't
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: very funny. That'd be my first guess. And and in
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the I just think it's a I think it's bad.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: If you got something a problem with somebody, I would
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: just say, like, address it directly or leave it, because
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I don't. I there's plenty people I think are shitty
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: at comedy. I just don't. I just avoid him, or
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: I say, like, you know, you did your thing something vague,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: but I don't. But I would never criticize somebody in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: public that I can. I'm sure I have, but I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: try to avoid it if I can.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, were talking about that this week with girod call
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Michael Dave Chapelle because he said Reside was saying, you know,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Dave's whole legacy is transgender jokes, and then he said
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Dave the ego maniac. But then literally and I said,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I said, you should not criticize the comedian about anything
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: offensive because it can happen to you in a second.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: And literally less than twelve.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Hours later, they were on Gerard about what he said
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: on his HBO show, and you know being a.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Role playing slave in Master. Well, yeah, it's like it's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: like me too, and somebody it's like, I don't you
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: can you can get popped. We can all get popped
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: for tons of anything. If you've been doing it long enough,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: like you did a p you don't even We all
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: do so many podcasts you don't ever remember, and then
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: someone can remember. Then you're like, no, but that is
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: my I guess I said that. So that's the thing
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: of like casting the first stone. Like you, it's a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: dangerous game because everyone it's like mutually assured destruction basically
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: once you start, uh yeah, point fingers, it's it's it's
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be Spider Man in any any minute. You know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Bill Burd spoke about being on Chappelle Show back in
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Did you know.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: That all of those guys, the Birds, the Rogans, the
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Donnelle role and Charlie Murphy, did you know all of
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: these people would end up being what's up for Donnelle
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: icons in their own right?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Did I picked a Donell?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: No, I'm focusing on the with the bento. Oh was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: that Ashley? That's hilarious? Was he wearing Timberland's all right, great,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: he looks like he doesn't look like that, but I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: like how fatt he is. It really captures his dowiness.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: The the yeah. I mean, I remember when Bill auditioned
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and Dave was like, thank god he can act because
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that dude's really funny, and Charlie and yeah, dude, I
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: if I all I remember about doing the show is
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: it was very hard, but it was very gratifying to
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: be able to have like small ideas with me and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Dave and then being able to expand them because the Charlie,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I don't have ever told you that, but like me
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and Dave wrote Half Baked, we turned it in right
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety seven, we have a celebratory mushroom night.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And this is when I wasn't using medicine for healing.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: It was back when I was just using it the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: party baby, and we have we do mushrooms. Go to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: club and I see Dave talking to this guy and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, is it like Eddie Murphy's brother, like fat brother?
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: And then I go over and it's Charlie. I didn't
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: know him. And Charlie's like, I'm on mushrooms and Charlie's
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: like holding court, like me and my brother came out here,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: did it. It was the only real motherfucker's here and did
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: it Jared Carles and and uh and then and he
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: kept talking about Hollywood and and Charlie was going, there's
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: poison and ice cream. This motherfucker this poison and ice cream.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: So then me and they would say there's poison and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: ice cream for like years. Then we were writing that
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: real World sketch and we were like, you know, we
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: should get for this, We should get uh Charlie Murphy
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: to see if he can do it. And then based
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: on doing shrooms with them five years earlier and being like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it's something about that guy. Wow, So I guess there
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and then and then snowballed into and then he tells
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the Rick James story, He tells the Prince story, He
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and and uh, and then it just became it changed
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: all of our lives. So it's you know, it's like
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: taking taking credit for it seems wrong because it's we
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: all got we we all got so much from it
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: from having him on the show. He tells the story
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that my life it's like, you know, before and after
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: that sketch ry like I could almost tell you the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: date it was twenty years ago, like recently. Could a
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: show like that exist ever? Again? I think you could
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: probably figure out a way to do the sketches, but
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: in terms of impact everything, so it was one it
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: was like one funnel, like culture was one funnel, and
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: so you would get it, like go to the funnel
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: and get what came out. And now there's there's you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a million funnels on all of our phone so you
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: just go like I subscribed to forty funnels and then
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: you But it used to be like do you there
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: was only one place to go or three places to go,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: so we were we were, we were. I guess Comedy
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Center wasn't like as big before Chappelle's, but but it
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: was always big. And then yeah, so I don't You
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: could probably do the sketches, but I don't think it
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: would have the the thing where everyone's watching it, you know,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think. Do you guys think it depends who
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the talent is? Yea, yeah, yeah, it's it's possible, but
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: but it's unlikely. Like yeah, okay, now Dave always says
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: like people are probably not going to be famous again
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the same way I was duh, No, way, that's been
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I know, but it is an interesting thing of like
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: why not and you go cause it's you can't. It's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the funnel problem. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I was, you know, Mike Myers, Like I was talking
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: to Mike Myers the community and we were talking about
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: showbiz and he was he was talking about shows and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I as he was talking, I was like, in one decade,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Mike Myers was Wayne from Wayne's World, Shrek, Doctor Evil,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: and Austin Powers. You can run president one guy. Wow,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: one guy, He's Canadian, one guy in ten years into
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: like damn so that and he goes, Yeah, it was
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a monoculture and now it's like sort of more of
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: a free for all. Eighties ninety celebrity is so powerful.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Literally you can get elected president of the United States
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: of America. Yeah, it's a different level of celebrity. Yeah, black,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: all white, No, it's just a different level of celebrity.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is like the last of the like Tom Cruise, yes, Madonna,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: as I saw you two with the sphere like they're
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: real and they sold seven hundred and fifty thousand tickets
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: in two months. It's like that's a a lot of
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: tickets des White.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: It was real fandom, real talent, and the barrier of
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: entry was way more difficult to get in any of
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: these spaces.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah, you had to You had to
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: be talented or you had to be like because I
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: don't think Madonna or Tom Cruise are the most but
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: they're really good at like they don't Madonnas doesn't have
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the best singing voice, hump Cruse probably doesn't have the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: best acting instrument, but like they figured they were good.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: They took the job seriously. Like Tom Cruise is like
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: like jumping rope before, you know, like doing shit to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: make himself last movie, did his own studs. Yeah he's crazy. Yep.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: You was talking about comedians with morals, right, and we
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: shouldn't go to the clowns.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for morality, But what about Kevin Hartnell? Degitenerous? What
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: about him?
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Because you said that they and especially you said that
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: they have to be they have to be great humanitarians
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: and role models.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is they they're expected to be, but
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: it's not. But it's not a realistic expectation. That's what
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I have a joke in the special about keV where
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: like I had a handyman at my house. It was like,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: do you know Kevin Harden? I was like, yeah, he
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: goes Is he humble? And I was like, you're a handyman,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: you're not humble? Like why does Kevin have to be humble?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: What he was asking me is, hey, Neil, is that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: five foot three billionaire humble? What do you think? How
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: hum many think Kevin Hard is on a scale from
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Napoleon to Tom Cruise. If you had to guess, why
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: are you looking to Kevin Hart for humility? What he
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: tries to be?
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: To your point when you said, when you're talking about.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Kevin's I would I would like you we all know Kevin.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Kevin's a good dude, but he's not humble, nord should he?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Why does he have to be humble?
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: He's not a different records around your peers, but to
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: people he's humble To people, yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Well, because they can all throw
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: him in the trash. He's tiny. Uh, he has to
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: be humby. He's just for security.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Because even with keV, keV does things that I think
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: other people in this situation wouldn't do. Kevin's still come
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: back and touch places that other comedian.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Kevin's a great I really mean that when like, Kev's
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: a great dude. But like this expectation that celebrities have
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: to be moral, it's just like a fake. It's a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: just moving the goalpost. I'm not saying I'm not saying
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: they should be able to break laws or any of
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: that stuff. But I'm just saying I think it's a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: fake expectation based on somebody. Because you're doing well, then
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: people go, well, then are you nice? You know what
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like, sometimes are you nice? I'm nice? Sometimes
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it's a human being. Yeah, It's why there's churches on
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: every corner because we're not nice, you know what I mean,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Like you just because we need constant reminders of like,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: don't murder. Look at this, don't murder. And you're like, okay, yeah,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you're right, I shouldn't murder. But we need constant reminders.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: And the expectations that they they'll come from clowns is
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: a bit like come on, come on, there's other there's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it's it's not it should not be our responsibility. It's
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a it's a it's a failure of priests, mom's clergy,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you know, like and and politicians and because they couldn't
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: keep their ticks in their pants. And so now it's like, well,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: all right, ship, who else we got that? Allen seems
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: pretty you know what I mean? Who else? You know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Joe your next man. They're gonna start looking for you
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: from morality. Oh they've been please you think? No, no, no,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not funny enough.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I think I I put it out there enough, Like
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I want to.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: I don't want that. I want to be the bad guy.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: You do want to be the bad guy, not personally,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: but to your point, I want you just to look
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: at me as a human being.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: So if you look at me the human being, I'm
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: gonna make mistakes. I'm not gonna always get things right.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna always say the right thing. I might
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: piss you off because you know, especially with us right
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: and Neil is a huge mental health advocate as well.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Anytime you're a.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Person that is always on a healing journey and you
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: talk about your mental health, they want us to do
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: everything perfect.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: That's right. I can't say anything yeah too wrong?
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know, aren't you supposed to be a mental
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: health guy?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? But like I still like fucking or whatever, like yeah,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I don't, yeah, but you're right, it does become I'm
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: worried that people are gonna be like, well, how could
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you say that athletes don't want good you don't want
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: a good mental health because I don't because I'm a person.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I'm selfish. I want a good game and that you're
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: gonna have good games when everyone's fucking out of their minds.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: That's true. It's like, I don't you know what, sports
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: was invented to train the military between wars. So that's yes,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: that's how in like in in ancient Greece like two
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: three thousand years ago, it was between wars that were
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: like we need to get the army to be able
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to do like to train between and they didn't have
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the ropes and all that shit, so they would like
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: do battles or whatever. So so that's what that's what
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is like an analogous of it's like
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a proxy for war. So it's like Cleveland versus or
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the Clippers versus or whoever versus whoever, or or or
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, and you're really you know, at the least
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: these people.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Are our lovers of violence, right, yeah, like, at least
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: they're massacres. If you're a football player, boxer, you see,
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: at the least you're a massacre.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I bet that they're more sadists than massacre. They
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: like whooping ass more than they like in their ass
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: whooped massacrets like it in their asshoo.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: But even if you're a running back, you still know
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get hit, so you still have to kind
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: of like the pain.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean? Well, you right, But
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you know, people they like her, Yeah, they like it's
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: like hurt or be hurt. There. It's a lot of aggression.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: And what I would say is like people's need for
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: aggression and people's kind of unhealthy need for status is
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the greatest economic driver in world history. Damn, I really,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, every great everyone on this
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: wall didn't do it for the right reasons. They did
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: it because they wanted a come up. They wanted I'm
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: sick of being treated like garbage and I'm sick and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: i'm i'm I know, I'm more special than this. So
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: so that they went out of the they moved from
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: wherever they were to do a thing that would get
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: them status and they could like you know what, I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: am great, I am. I do deserve exaltation. That's inventors,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: that's I mean, inventors are all there because they got it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: They're trying to get some pussy. Like it's a long
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: term pussy plan. That's kind of true. Not a lot
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: of women down to the patent office. They don't need
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: to do it. They don't need to invent stuff. They'll
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: just wait year rounds guys the event stuff get like
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: guys that are like three out of ten you invented
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk. You see that WHLD picture and when he
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: had bad hair. He's fat though, it's like the guy
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: did it for for to get people to get women.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I mean not exactly, but like that's the whole that's
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: like the primal urge. That's the when you watch the
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Facebook movie.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: That's the whole premise of the movie.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, So I'm not even mad at it.
