- 0:17Hey, Cheers, dude. Cheers.
- 0:19Dude. This is Cheetos.
- 0:20It's it's the one. It's the one problem with South
- 0:22Florida. There's nothing, nothing you can
- 0:23do about it, dude. No.
- 0:24You could spray, you could light like those candles.
- 0:27People talk about the weather. I was like a boring topic, but
- 0:29it's crazy how it's it's everyone's lives in Florida.
- 0:33In Florida. It's the one thing that matters
- 0:36because it's it's brutal. Do you shoot that Lefrog shot?
- 0:39He's like, not usually, but I'll.
- 0:41Yeah, that's what. Yeah, that's what I did.
- 0:44OK. No, I usually just drink the
- 0:49more slowly. You know, I do.
- 0:50But I do it. Yeah, I do.
- 0:51Do you want to? No.
- 0:52See, I was. That wasn't me testing.
- 0:53You shouldn't put ice in it. Yes, you should.
- 0:55You wanted those that say you should have put ice in it.
- 0:57You know why the weather is really.
- 0:59If you really want, you can put a drop of water to open.
- 1:02Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:03Flavor. Did you also do a whiskey
- 1:04tasting somewhere? Yeah, we should do it.
- 1:06I think you. I think you guys, you grabbed a
- 1:09picture of it somehow. Kitty found a picture of it of
- 1:12your whiskey on that chat somehow.
- 1:13No, I didn't see it. Where did you do it?
- 1:15Yeah, I went to there. There was a group of people
- 1:17doing it. So we did it at it was a like a
- 1:22store that I'd never been to one of these like little stores and
- 1:24they just someone started it and hosted it and it was like good,
- 1:28what do you look? I was going to get ice, but I
- 1:31was going to do ice in that Well, that So the reason I like
- 1:34to put ice in it is because it is a shock by Sarah.
- 1:36It's too, it's too strong. No, but and it's pity and strong
- 1:42so and a little bit of ice, like I know it dilutes the drink.
- 1:45That's what I say. That's what I always say.
- 1:46It doesn't dilute it enough and it's beautiful.
- 1:50What is it? 2 nights ago, I think Monday
- 1:53night actually, I poured myself a glass of whiskey.
- 1:55Of course, I put like a pea size last night.
- 2:01You too, dude. Yeah, but yeah, like a little
- 2:04bit of ice. Although I will.
- 2:07I'll take the ice out at a certain point.
- 2:08I won't let it sit in there. Oh, really?
- 2:10Yeah. If I have, like, very particular
- 2:12dude. Oh, because there's nothing
- 2:14worse. Because I get your point.
- 2:15You want to be cold, you and you want to be like a little softer.
- 2:19But with Leroy, there's nothing worse.
- 2:22Dude. I was drinking McAllen.
- 2:24Oh, yeah. No, but there's nothing worse
- 2:26than water down. We were back.
- 2:31We took a break because you were you were telling me that you
- 2:33were you were where you were on Epstein's list or something?
- 2:36Yeah, dude, first of all, I am you.
- 2:38Are second of all, does any? Does anyone know what's going
- 2:41on? Does anyone actually know what's
- 2:44going on? Dude, we started with the
- 2:47Epstein list. We got Obama like is going to
- 2:49get fake, get arrested. That was so did you see that the
- 2:52White House like an hour ago posted that they're like really
- 2:56revealed that aliens exist and like, oh, I didn't see that.
- 2:59Yeah, dude. But they're going to say because
- 3:01they actually, they're like, we're just saying Obama.
- 3:03We're like, they're like the DOG.
- 3:04I don't know, I have the thing. Yeah, dude, they're going to
- 3:07invest Obama. Yeah, they're going to go.
- 3:08They're going to get it. Yeah.
- 3:09How could I invest Obama and cop this down on the.
- 3:12I mean they're. Pretty sure the White House knew
- 3:15aliens existed. No 100%.
- 3:17Right. 80 years. Ago I know.
- 3:19But they're going to be releasing that.
- 3:20It's so. Good, now that they can't hide
- 3:22it anymore. You think that's true?
- 3:23Yeah, like people are gonna. Well, men in black, they, that's
- 3:26the whole men in black. Thing it's smart, like no one
- 3:29could catch the killer 100 years ago, but now you catch them the
- 3:31next. Day yeah, that's true.
- 3:33Same type of thing, yeah dude, do you think the mafia still
- 3:36exists? Like it doesn't.
- 3:38In what capacity though? Like.
- 3:40What do you mean? Like you have like they counted
- 3:43so much on everything pretty much being off the books.
- 3:45I know. Isn't it a business model?
- 3:47And for everything else, like, yeah, OK, maybe they could do
- 3:50the cash advance shit, you know, whenever.
- 3:53Be through a business. Yeah, but it's not as fun as
- 3:55like when you like put up like it's through fun as someone in
- 4:00with a face like that, like like owning one of those shops and
- 4:03getting protection or whatever when they go into the dining.
- 4:09Yeah, it's not like that. Now you don't think?
- 4:11I bet it is dude. Do you see that, Pirates?
- 4:14This guy, this guy's eating his line, bro.
- 4:16You're supposed to. You're not.
- 4:17You're supposed to be just like a little like get rid of the
- 4:20tape. No, it's a cocktail.
- 4:21When you have an oniejo tequila, that's such an animal.
- 4:23He just he just like swallows the whole thing.
- 4:27He's like a cow, dude. Oh, I said animal.
- 4:30It could have been anything. I know.
- 4:31I'm saying, wow. I was thinking chewing cud.
- 4:33I was thinking Kiwi. That made me think about it.
- 4:35I could have gone with tiger, that dude.
- 4:36So what happened? What is happening?
- 4:40What do you think? Epstein, you're saying?
- 4:43With Epstein dude, what's going on?
- 4:45What's with the Jews on lists? Yeah, hey, oh, man, it's not
- 4:55going to be funny in 10 years, man.
- 4:56In the Holocaust, dude. Do you guys have a?
- 4:59Basement to hide in. I have a.
- 5:01Basement, by the way, I have a couple of buddies from
- 5:03Binghamton. I'm going to try this beer.
- 5:04I'm saying this beer, by the way, Shane Gill's got everyone
- 5:06into public. Yeah.
- 5:09He wants to get off the Holocaust.
- 5:12No, no, no. I was.
- 5:13I was honestly, I was just like taking this stuff.
- 5:16There's something crazy about a beer that tastes this bad.
- 5:21It's not good. But so good because it's so
- 5:24patriotic. It's good when it's so cold.
- 5:27Ice. Cold.
- 5:27I know it's true. Ice cold.
- 5:29Anything other than ice cold, it's.
- 5:31So bad. There's nothing worse than War I
- 5:34and that. You see, Shark Tank has spent
- 5:35the last 15 years. Everyone brings up everyone's
- 5:38trying to find out how to keep your beer cold.
- 5:41On the go for sure. Yeah, it's the number one thing.
- 5:44And then it's just degrees of eco friendliness.
- 5:46Yeah, Yeah. So.
- 5:49The. It's like, what, dude?
- 5:52I know I got. I've gotten that.
- 5:54Yeah, but you don't use them ever, dude.
- 5:56So so I I. Do I literally forgot to bring
- 5:59it today? It's America.
- 6:00It's got an American flag. I.
- 6:02I believe you, dude, but yeah, you forgot it because it's such
- 6:04a it's hard to remember. It's one of my yeah, conscious
- 6:07mind that any given state to to remember that.
- 6:11Yeah, exactly. They're never really that
- 6:14productive. All right, so.
- 6:18I should make a koozie that crumples up into a ball and you
- 6:22could put it in like a pouch. Shove it up.
- 6:23Oh. It hangs on your keys.
- 6:26OK. And then when you open the pouch
- 6:28it it. Pops out.
- 6:29Pops out into acoustic. That's not a bad idea, that
- 6:32definitely exists already. For sure.
- 6:34For sure someone made that. I've thought of.
- 6:36I don't. Think you could patent?
- 6:37Something like that though. Can you no lawyer?
- 6:42I've I someone who's taking like 2 CL ES on patents.
- 6:46No, you could. You could probably patent it.
- 6:48You could patent my favorite content.
- 6:50Everyone says patent pending. Yeah, that means nothing, right?
- 6:53It just means that they're like, put the means that they yeah,
- 6:56they filed it. People get rejected for patents.
- 6:58There we go. Yeah, collapsible koozie.
- 7:00Yeah, there it is. Yeah, I hate to search.
- 7:02Was collapsible koozie. I, I, I search koozie, fold it
- 7:06up, see I'm not a bad Jamie. No, I will.
- 7:08I will say that what's frustrating is that when you see
- 7:11a product on Shark Tank, this is pissing me off.
- 7:13You'll see people are like spent 10 years doing this.
- 7:16I'm $300,000 in debt in two years we're finally going to be
- 7:19profitable. It's like an alcohol business.
- 7:23It's like a it's a good thing. And then someone else will come
- 7:26home and be like, I created like a widget to like hold your pen
- 7:29up and I spent $30 out the gate and we're, you know, $2,000,000
- 7:35business debt. It's like 1 path is so difficult
- 7:39and the other is just like a great idea.
- 7:41Yeah, sure. So I keep trying to think of
- 7:43like, what's the great idea that doesn't put me in debt because
- 7:48for 10 years? Yeah, because.
- 7:49Your only person who think was thinking about that.
- 7:53You know, do you are there a lot of I'm trying to think of how to
- 7:56make. Money.
- 7:58What? Granted that I don't have to
- 8:00work for the rest of my life? Yeah.
- 8:02That upper middle class people will buy.
- 8:05Yeah. People with money, people with
- 8:06expendable. Yeah, exactly.
- 8:08Expendable. Yeah, disposable.
- 8:11First of all. Vendible income.
- 8:12Forget about that. Yeah.
- 8:13Jamie and Jamie looking. On that widget.
- 8:15Whatever makes that widget obviously has a friend who's a
- 8:19multi multi millionaire is helping him out, no?
- 8:22No, no. But that's what's annoying
- 8:24sometimes. Sometimes like I spend 30 bucks,
- 8:28I spend 30 bucks. And he's talking about the the
- 8:31he has my daddy and he wants to get.
- 8:33An you, you go to you. There's a lot of people that you
- 8:36can go to. If you have a concept, if you
- 8:37have an idea, you have the factory laid out to make this,
- 8:41you have exact market cost it's and you have the whole business.
- 8:45Plan laid out and you're. Like hey, can I get?
- 8:46Can I get but? Kickstarter.
- 8:48Kickstarter, yeah, but, but also, but also there's just a
- 8:51lot of people with money that you can do that people go go to
- 8:54open a credit card and do that. That's what I'm saying.
- 8:55Either they have a best friend or they themselves have money.
- 8:58Yeah, that's all I'm saying. This is the thing, the best
- 9:00friend, that conspiracy Evans. Joe, who's 300 grand in debt, he
- 9:05he has to have a friend or do connections or else he's not
- 9:07building. That, yeah, of course haven't
- 9:08because everyone has ideas known as money.
- 9:10Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
- 9:11Yeah. That's they always changing.
- 9:13Everyone comes to us like we have this idea and we're like,
- 9:15OK, it's maybe worth 1% of everything, your idea because
- 9:19you're not going to do anything to fulfill.
- 9:20No, it's not 1% of everything dude.
- 9:22It's probably it's close to 50. You hear what I'm saying though,
- 9:27Like it's until you actually put it into fruition, it means it's,
- 9:31it's price. It's it's, it's worth nothing.
- 9:36Yeah, it's. Worth nothing?
- 9:38Your idea is worth nothing. What do you think?
- 9:40Your idea is literally valueless.
- 9:42No, it's not, dude. I don't believe that dude.
- 9:44Until you put it out in front of you.
- 9:46Yeah, I think I actually I'm, I'm a big.
- 9:49You close, Harry. It's value because you're using
- 9:51knowledge in your. I love hobbies.
- 9:53I love hobbies. I have a ton of them but and I
- 9:57do appreciate them. I think most people could
- 9:59appreciate a hobby, but a lot of people something just isn't
- 10:03worth anything until money Until like it either makes money or
- 10:07it's the gift of validate. I can't.
- 10:10When you said that I was literally thinking about this
- 10:11today that I really want I I want hobbies.
- 10:15I really want one. Like I want a hobby, but then
- 10:17I'm like I want a hobby that makes money.
- 10:20Yeah. I don't think that way now.
- 10:23You I can't see myself doing a hobby that just.
- 10:25Doesn't what does that mean? You can you, you don't like you
- 10:28like building things. You could do like like build
- 10:30things around your house or fix things up around your house and
- 10:32like that's a hobby. Like that's considered a hobby.
- 10:34Money on other guys. I mean, I guess so.
- 10:36And you can walk away feeling proud of yourself.
- 10:38But. They're.
- 10:39Handyman. Yeah, I just need to elaborate.
- 10:48No, but that is a hobby. I don't know.
- 10:49It's like, listen as a drone, we're all like trying to be
- 10:51what? I don't know that I have time
- 10:52for as many hobbies, but like, growing up, dude, you got
- 10:55hobbies man, and you have time for sure.
- 10:57So bullshit. We have tons of hobbies.
- 10:59I had up. Maybe I do have hobbies, I just
- 11:03don't know it probably. For sure dude, hang out with
- 11:05your friends is a hobby. Do you have, you know, a few
- 11:07people actually hang out with their friends more than once a
- 11:09week? By the.
- 11:11Way it's so scary the world. We hang out every like couple of
- 11:13days. People don't.
- 11:15People go weeks without seeing. Other human beings, dude.
- 11:18Because she's home the whole time.
- 11:19We're literally on our way to my kids color war thing today and
- 11:22my phone is just Ding Ding yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 11:26Going. On she's like, how many friends?
- 11:31You have to say 4 delinquent friends.
- 11:34They're all just texting. You know, it's great.
- 11:36He plays. He plays Pacey's song about
- 11:38Kiki's mom. I didn't.
- 11:40Hear it yet? You didn't hear it.
- 11:42It's amazing. It's amazing.
- 11:43Wait, is it So for context, we have a group chat and we're
- 11:47running, Oh, is this you're running Jokes, the song itself
- 11:52about Kiwi's mom? It's always, it's always about
- 11:54anyone's mom but Kiwi's mom in particular.
- 11:56And so Casey puts it in AI. Does it say my name in the song?
- 12:05Yeah, it does, dude. Dude, the lyrics.
- 12:07Do you listen to the one about Queen?
- 12:13His. Mom's house with Shadow.
- 12:18Listen. She.
- 12:22Says she's. Fine, she's lonely.
- 12:34Dude, it sounds phenomenal. The lyrics are great.
- 12:40Dude, I can't write like that. Oh my.
- 12:42God, OK, that's enough dude. Oh man.
- 13:02What do you what do you use to make those songs?
- 13:03It's not. So I I put more time into it,
- 13:06but now I just send like how do you pay for AI, right?
- 13:09Two different but this one, though not this. 1/2.
- 13:14Different one I have AI know somebody spends like 99 a month.
- 13:17The others 80. 9. 95. No, I know, I know someone who
- 13:21does, who does He has he's up to like $250 without without VO3,
- 13:28not VO3, which is like 500 a month or two video.
- 13:31He's been 250 a month for like different things because he's
- 13:33just tricky for what's he paying for?
- 13:35Well, what do they give you when you pay?
- 13:37Versus like he thinks like a video integrating one, one that
- 13:41automatically will put the video together and post it at the same
- 13:45time. Then he goes on chatting with
- 13:46you. Like find out.
- 13:48So how can you? Automate social media I would
- 13:51love. By the way, I would.
- 13:52Pay that amount per month to automate my social media too I
- 13:55feel like. So something right, because the,
- 13:59I hope that no, it's true. I, I enjoy doing it.
- 14:02Like, I enjoy putting the video together and I hate it, dude.
- 14:04It's $0.00. So I hate it.
- 14:06Dude. I, I can't do it.
- 14:08Like really. I, I not only do I consider
- 14:10myself useless in that capacity, yeah, but I, I don't like, I
- 14:16actively like, I won't be able to bring myself to even allocate
- 14:20the time to do it. Yeah, I mean, AI is definitely,
- 14:23it's a form of creativity, by the way.
- 14:25It's not your form of creativity, is it equalizes
- 14:27everything like Opportunity Index was always, by the way,
- 14:30it's a very conservative, very like fiscally amazing like
- 14:34concept. Yeah.
- 14:35Like it's democratized information.
- 14:37Oh my gosh, it's and then synthesize it and spits it out.
- 14:40And then now we all have synthesized, synthesized
- 14:42information. Who's going to like do the next
- 14:45step, which is to put it all together.
- 14:47And obviously Jews have always been good at that.
- 14:51By the way, Jews, it's not Jews. You ever watched always Sun in
- 14:55Philadelphia? That one of the earlier episodes
- 14:58was great. Of course, it was about like,
- 15:00because this the landlord next door was the landlord next door
- 15:05was Jewish. And they were like the that
- 15:08Jewish guy, like, whoa, the Jew. So what can you can?
- 15:11You can't say the Jewish guy, but you can't say that Jew with
- 15:16like a hard hard J. Oh, that's yeah, you can't.
- 15:19Say a soft J is fine. You can't.
- 15:21You can say he's Jewish. You can't say he's.
- 15:24The Jew, yeah, you could say like, like, yeah, you can't go
- 15:26like the Jew, but you can be like, you know, the Jewish guy
- 15:29next door. Damn.
- 15:30Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I mean, the truth is I don't
- 15:32give a shit about any of that stuff anyway.
- 15:35Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was at a brewery one time and
- 15:38someone made a comment about I forgot what it was.
- 15:41It's going to be with money and me being Jewish because we're
- 15:43going to keep it there. And I was, like, had a good one
- 15:47then, like, I was like, literally like, yeah, yeah,
- 15:50nice. And then he's OK.
- 15:51And then, like, he got up and left after a couple minutes and.
- 15:55Oh, no. And then the bartender at the
- 15:58brewery is like, hey, man, like, that's not cool, man.
- 16:01Oh, he's like, hey, man, she said that to him.
- 16:04And she was like, hey, man, that's not cool.
- 16:06And I was like, no, it's fine. Like, that doesn't bother me.
- 16:08But like, I never heard anyone, like, stand up to like, yeah, a
- 16:13Jewish joke before. Dude, I kind of feels dumb.
- 16:15I don't think I was an idiot. Yeah, no, I'm an idiot.
- 16:19I'm sure there's people that, yeah, I feel good about that.
- 16:21Yeah, people would feel, I feel. Good that she wants to defend
- 16:24me. What's your name?
- 16:25Hi, I'm Sarah Rubenstein. Also also in America, I feel
- 16:37like because things are good in America, I don't I don't think
- 16:40most people will feel much at least in Florida.
- 16:43I don't know you don't feel much anti-Semitism on the day, not
- 16:45even if it was weird. If someone like stands up to
- 16:47you, like I lost like one, one time twice, if two or three
- 16:51times, but like 2, two of them are like just bad really like
- 16:56weird jokes, like one person. The sauna was just like making
- 16:59weird jokes and and she didn't get what she was doing in the
- 17:02sauna. Yeah, she was like in the
- 17:04because it's a it's a go at sauna at University of Miami.
- 17:08But she was just like making jokes.
- 17:09It wasn't, it wasn't like a it wasn't like it was just like a
- 17:13Holocaust joke that it was like, it was, Yeah, it was what?
- 17:15It was someone else. It was an oven joke because you
- 17:19guys were the sauna. Yeah, it had to be.
- 17:22No. And I like.
- 17:22I chuckled, and like I don't have been used in the oven.
- 17:25Since the since. He felt weird about it after and
- 17:28I was like, it's it's fine. Like it's not a big deal, but
- 17:30but it's weird when they feel weird and it's someone else.
- 17:31I was at, I was at a clinic on campus also, and the room next
- 17:35door is joke with an Asian dude at the table.
- 17:38You'd feel a little weird about it.
- 17:39Yeah. So I had no problem with feeling
- 17:40weird, but I felt weird because it's like, listen, I mean, I'm,
- 17:44I'm good. Like, don't worry about me.
- 17:45Yeah. Like, I'm, I'm good, I'm
- 17:47healthy. I feel good.
- 17:48Like I know that you don't. I know that you.
- 17:50Don't meet any kind of blog. Yeah, you don't hate Jews
- 17:52vegetriolically, I. Was I'm past the house on
- 17:54Harding on the way back from my meal last weekend.
- 17:58So Nazi flag. No, I hear these people from the
- 18:01porch. I overheard them.
- 18:02I I didn't take it bad, but I over here like, oh, those are
- 18:05the they're those people again with the skull caps.
- 18:09Whoa, yeah. By the way, but those people
- 18:11have been, by the way, to be fair, those people have been
- 18:14living in South Florida, in Hollywood for 50 years.
- 18:17They've bought their house for $12,000 and, and they've, and
- 18:22they've, and they've, this is the first, the first five years
- 18:25of their lives you've ever seen. Jude 100%.
- 18:27It's 100%. It's not necessarily if there's
- 18:29another. No, not at all.
- 18:29No. If you saw, if dude, remember
- 18:32the first time you saw an Amish person?
- 18:34No, I remember I was like at like 1.
- 18:36I was somewhere on Niagara Falls, I think, and I was in the
- 18:39one. I was thinking there, dude.
- 18:41And at the minute, yeah, I say that's my brother.
- 18:43I'm like, dude, look, there's like how many people here, how
- 18:45they got there? They're here like whatever.
- 18:48They don't travel, they don't take college.
- 18:49I thought about. That.
- 18:50Rumspringer No, So I looked it up.
- 18:52Rumspring They hate when people do that because it's like when
- 18:56you're off, right? Yeah.
- 18:58Hate when people. When if you decide never to come
- 19:01back, you can never come back ever again a little bit.
- 19:03Shunned but I'm saying they they hate like just.
- 19:05Have to come back here. News aren't so different.
- 19:09That was funny, yeah. Reputation's tough to think.
- 19:12Yeah. Yeah.
- 19:13But they there was a great interview where someone's like,
- 19:15by the way, Rumspringer is like, not that it's like the way
- 19:19we've. Because I grew up the same thing
- 19:21Rumspringer was like, is it you're off?
- 19:23No, I thought that's the way it was.
- 19:26You know, like I watched an interview.
- 19:27It's like you don't like people say like Hanukkah is about like,
- 19:31lights and peace and love and happiness and you're like, bro,
- 19:34there's like, it's not just like some token holiday.
- 19:37There's like, it's not their biggest holiday.
- 19:39Yeah. So they're like Rumspring is
- 19:42like, it's like more. It's not just like some time
- 19:45off. It's like more.
- 19:46But there's a purpose here. It's a good journey.
- 19:49Yeah, dude, let's go, man. That's what I got the champion
- 19:51here for. By the way, if you ever.
- 19:52Yeah, Orthodox Amish people think about Rome.
- 20:00You guys can keep going, by the way.
- 20:02Yeah, I mean, I'm enjoying listening.
- 20:03To you talk to yourself. What is it saying?
- 20:10Yeah. So look, so traditional
- 20:12conservative Amish like the Schwartz and Troopers generally
- 20:17see Rumspringer not as a wild free for all, but as a time of
- 20:21decision making and accountable. Yeah.
- 20:23Yeah. A serious and spiritually
- 20:25significant period during which a young person chooses.
- 20:28They want to commit to the auditors.
- 20:29All right, actually, actually, I'm going to totally agree with
- 20:33you. That's just that sounds like
- 20:34they're going to go to the club. That means, like, going on club
- 20:36and decide. Yeah, but you're worried about
- 20:38the sense that there's more intentionality behind it.
- 20:41Yeah. But like, imagine, imagine Jews.
- 20:44Imagine. Imagine going up instead of your
- 20:46urine, Israel you, which is pretty much that, I guess,
- 20:49right. But imagine instead of you're in
- 20:50Israel, you had a year where like part of Judaism was like,
- 20:53yeah, it was like, whatever you want.
- 20:55Yeah, just stitching. Technically you could like,
- 20:57bring her off you asshole. No Shabbos, no nothing, you
- 21:01mean? No, nothing dude.
- 21:03Whatever you want. For a year, then you decide
- 21:05like, is this life you want to commit to or is this to to
- 21:07Katie's point, I would also categorize that just as
- 21:10casually. Like I thought when I listened
- 21:12to anybody, I thought it was this.
- 21:14It sounds like a. That's about it.
- 21:16It's like, yeah, but, but I think that if you imagine if
- 21:19you're teaching. Imagine in a family.
- 21:21Structure, right? Imagine like you're you're a.
- 21:24Kid, imagine you're the second or third in your.
- 21:26Family or you're the oldest right you're the first born and
- 21:28like you're growing up a certain way it can hire life and like
- 21:32and then you turn 17 and you can like live by your and then
- 21:35you're like you got a year where like you could do whatever you
- 21:38want and like you know that your siblings are looking up at you
- 21:40and like watching like curious like what do you guys do?
- 21:43You're going out into the world when you have it, dude, imagine
- 21:45like just stupid kosher things, right, like imagine for you, you
- 21:49have to keep kosher right. You go to yeah and it was a
- 21:52partier and then you siblings yeah exactly.
- 21:55Your siblings are like what was it like?
- 21:57Is it worth it? Should I you know, like is it is
- 21:59it like is it cool? What should I do is should I
- 22:01should I do that or that that's really it's got to be a bigger
- 22:04part of the culture than Josh job Was that your like dude,
- 22:06yeah, it wasn't that lucky. Hey.
- 22:11Could you look up what? What did the Amish say about leg
- 22:15rubbing you? Have the percentage of people
- 22:17who stay away or versus what? What percentage of rum
- 22:23springers? They're still in the last area.
- 22:25What percentage of of rum springers?
- 22:29I'm going to. Do conservative because again, I
- 22:31got that's. The question.
- 22:32Amish what people stay, stay after rums.
- 22:37It's got to be high. Like they're so community like
- 22:39we're still very high. You imagine if someone's like,
- 22:41do you want to leave the Jewish community or stay?
- 22:43You'd be like, fuck that. I'm like I.
- 22:47Would say most of them go back to their families.
- 22:48That's what I'm saying. I agree.
- 22:50Let's see. That's interesting.
- 22:52Yeah, vast majority, 85 to 95100%.
- 22:56Yeah, dude, it makes sense. By the way, makes.
- 22:58Sense in that context of the way you just put it makes sense,
- 23:01dude, because you're growing up a certain way.
- 23:03If you just presented it like, oh, you're 17, you can do
- 23:05whatever you want. I guess to to what what
- 23:09Chatterby says is I guess besides like strong family and
- 23:12communities, which is like a voluntary thing they're saying.
- 23:15There's also like like negative and negative incentives.
- 23:19You don't want to run into like limited, like clear
- 23:22consequences, losing daily contact, friends, meaning your
- 23:27meaning and structure system just collapses.
- 23:29Like I guess it is a little. Hard to get a shit update.
- 23:32It makes it hard, you know, you'd be like so would you shit
- 23:37update is oh, but setup dating. I'm curious what the liberal
- 23:41Amish people what what is a liberal Amish philosophy?
- 23:46So is it they're like the beat. They're called Beachy Amish.
- 23:49No way. Beachy Amish.
- 23:50Dude, that's crazy. They're exactly like juice.
- 23:53It's exactly the same thing. They have their own language.
- 23:55And then like you'll have like old order Amish is in between
- 23:58Schwartz and Trooper and Beachy and the old Schwartz and Trooper
- 24:02is like, oh, Schwartz and Trooper is like, like all the
- 24:06way. OK, got you.
- 24:07You know, they're they're hardcore.
- 24:08What is it? Where did Amish start?
- 24:11Wasn't it Joseph Smith in like 1700s?
- 24:15It started the 1700s. Yeah.
- 24:17Well, that's when, I mean, there was like, this technology's
- 24:19chill. Let's let's stay here.
- 24:21Let's. This is great.
- 24:29Can't imagine other than this being while we're making AI
- 24:33songs on Kiwi's mom. Do you think we're sitting here
- 24:35like? How it went down, Yeah, yeah.
- 24:38But no, but the old order, they're like the old orders,
- 24:41like our wheels don't have rubber on them.
- 24:43They're just like the window. The the windows are like a cloth
- 24:47instead of like the question is why they choose in that in that
- 24:50particular case is why do they choose to live in like
- 24:52Pennsylvania and Ohio instead of like, I don't know.
- 24:57Yeah, but Jews go do use electricity one day a week, not
- 25:01their farmland. A lot of.
- 25:03Jews are in New York is of Ellis Island.
- 25:05Well, that's what I mean. I'm saying there why are why are
- 25:07why are predominantly Asian Americans on the West Coast?
- 25:09Because they can't because they flew over to that.
- 25:11And so Amish are predominantly in the in Ohio and.
- 25:14Pennsylvania. Because of, I guess, farmland.
- 25:17I don't know. That's a good question.
- 25:18Well, I don't have all the answers.
- 25:20I don't know. Yeah, Chad, you had it all out
- 25:22of thought. Dude.
- 25:23Dude, it's so funny. Because liberal Amish, it's
- 25:25different. It's 60 to 80% of youth will
- 25:28stay so it's a little lower any or whatever 60 to 80.
- 25:31Wait, but what's the what would be the difference between
- 25:34someone that's liberal automation as opposed to not no,
- 25:38what's the difference between I know, but like I'd say so like
- 25:41let's say if you're you say if you're orthodox, you're probably
- 25:44not driving on Chavez, right. Yeah, certainly not driving on
- 25:47Chavez. And does that mean, like, if
- 25:50you're a liberal Amish, like you're driving a car, but you're
- 25:52still going to like, yeah, I think some of them are really
- 25:55like, dude, it's so funny. You'll have, you know, the
- 25:57Sarasota floor. I've been going there, you know,
- 25:59on vacation my entire upbringing.
- 26:01Yeah. Dude, you never went to
- 26:01corporate ladder before. Like, I've never batted you
- 26:03Amish community there. Oh, or corporate ladder.
- 26:05It's a brewery. It's an Amish community in
- 26:07Sarasota, yeah. Oh, that makes sense.
- 26:09Very similar to like Miami Jews. It's like in if you're in the
- 26:13Sarasota Amish community. I don't want to over generalize.
- 26:15If this blows up, obviously I'm going to get a bunch of hate
- 26:18mail people I don't know anything about.
- 26:22All they have is mail. Yeah, I'll get you invited.
- 26:26I was going to look at Harry Potter, get the letters in from
- 26:34the dove. Yeah.
- 26:35No, I watched this is I watched like 1 documentary.
- 26:38Oh my God, Sarasota. What about the the HBO show
- 26:44about the Mormons is that guy that has like the eight wives
- 26:47and they all live in different houses and it's about the drama
- 26:49behind them? Good idea dude.
- 26:51Yeah, let's do it. But wait, the last thing is is
- 26:53because I thought it was so funny.
- 26:55You know how like Amish can't use scooters.
- 26:57They can't use like motorized stuff on shops, right.
- 27:01Like they'll use. Wait, is a scooter considered
- 27:03motorized? Yeah, So.
- 27:04So yeah, they. You can't.
- 27:06Yeah, you. You could.
- 27:07Or cannot. You can't.
- 27:08You can't use electricity. A scooter's not necessarily like
- 27:11a moped. A moped like for for some hand
- 27:15that's like, yeah, like an older guy.
- 27:17Then we can't get to the shul, you know, so.
- 27:19Oh, so in Sarasota, you know you're not, No, you're not in
- 27:23Pennsylvania. You know, whatever they'll like,
- 27:26there's. Florida dude in.
- 27:28Florida wait, like you know how like Jews use scooters down
- 27:30here, but if you live in New York, like you'll never see a
- 27:32single. It's the same type of thing.
- 27:33Yeah, it's like, whatever. Wow, that's interesting.
- 27:36It's sunny and culturally, by the way, that makes me even less
- 27:40confident in religion to hear that like like everyone, just
- 27:45everyone just adjust to the. Human.
- 27:47That's it. No, I just think.
- 27:50I think they move somewhere. I see it different and they
- 27:53change. No, but I think I see it
- 27:55different. I see that a lot of he wants
- 27:56that shot. I.
- 28:00Was trying to make that sadly put the stock glass back down
- 28:08anyways for the next time. Just sit there.
- 28:10Oh, there. Fuck you guys.
- 28:12Oh God. Well dude, I'm not a lunatic,
- 28:17man. I'm almost 30.
- 28:18I'm going to stick this good tequila.
- 28:20I'm going to take a 30. You're talking you 30 for
- 28:23people? Oh yeah, yeah dude, your
- 28:25birthday was like 6 months ago. No but but but I see what I.
- 28:32There's a difference between shooting and sipping.
- 28:34In terms of impact on your body, no.
- 28:37You know, he's just, no, he's just doing it for no reason.
- 28:39I actually like this tequila dude and just like I want to
- 28:43like. Enjoy maybe?
- 28:43Shooting's worse. It's like a whole.
- 28:45It's like all of it at once. Your liver can't take it.
- 28:48Your liver cane dude. That was crazy, dude.
- 28:51What's up with that dude? Also it made me he's so happy
- 28:53they wanted to fight Rogue. So sick, I know.
- 28:56Sick. I kept up with that for a while.
- 28:58Did you? What's the process of keeping up
- 29:01with that like? Is that like?
- 29:02Following the social media. Like, see what he recently
- 29:05posted. It goes from like high end
- 29:06videos to like a vlog to like every two months he posts like a
- 29:10more emaciated, emaciated, yeah, emaciated version of himself.
- 29:15I think you could say both and you could probably sound
- 29:17properly getting away with it. Yeah, guys like TV there when?

- 29:26these days. You keep up with the Liver King.

- 35:32is your is your phone. On now too, dude.
- 35:34What? I shut off my thing.
- 35:37Is it a ringer on? Oh, it's buzzing like buzzes.
- 35:39No, it doesn't. Is it ring is my computer?
- 35:42No, it's yeah, it doesn't ring just vibrates in that computer
- 35:45ring. I'm sorry, dude.
- 35:46I apologize in case I absolutely no one.
- 35:49So, dude, can I talk to ask you about your social media presence
- 35:52as a lawyer? Your lawyer media presence.
- 35:56Well, I mean, you could yeah, it was it's it's I love it, dude.
- 35:59I think it's great. I think you make great content.
- 36:01I it's fun to do, I know. But do you think that you're
- 36:03going, do you think, are you like, do you have an idea to
- 36:06actually build up a brand name as a lawyer slash entertain?
- 36:10Like not entertainer, influencer.
- 36:13Yeah, entertainer, us entertainer, because there's no
- 36:15I I just listen. I like I enjoy legal stuff.
- 36:20I enjoy yeah, the stories you post are awesome.
- 36:23No, it's like definitely a hobby and then and then it has the net
- 36:27benefit of just kind of being just a good quality videos too.
- 36:31Yeah and I like I said I enjoy it.
- 36:32I have a buddy of mine who does also.
- 36:34He also does the same thing. He's also a lawyer.
- 36:37Yeah, attorney, yeah, he's a lawyer also.
- 36:39And we would like go back and forth about different equipment.
- 36:41It's just like it's, it's just fun and it lets, it's like, it
- 36:46shows that you're present in the world and that you're out there
- 36:49and, and. I think it's.
- 36:51I think it's. Upfront cost, yeah, I think it's
- 36:54really unique. I think it's really cool.
- 36:55I don't know if there's a ton of other lawyers that are doing it
- 36:58or not, but that's also what's cool too is like we both thought
- 37:01it's like, listen, there are other lawyers putting out
- 37:04content, but where like general videos you have you're competing
- 37:08with like a million people totally in in leader in a lawyer
- 37:12environment. You're aging.
- 37:13I mean, you're competing with, let's say 1000 other people,
- 37:15Max. Like it's not that many other
- 37:17people doing that. So it's it's you've got that you
- 37:19have a shot at actually finding engagement.
- 37:22Yeah, and but you had what what what what I what I think stands
- 37:27out to me is that I've seen a lot of cheesy.
- 37:32I've seen a lot of people try to do that in a really cheesy way.
- 37:36Yeah. And yours comes off as engaging
- 37:39and funny as opposed to like the cheesy guy that's a little too
- 37:43old team. And I'm not that's not saying
- 37:44that's you, that's too old team making it because the videos are
- 37:46good. But like I've seen people try to
- 37:48make videos like with medical equipment in my industry, you
- 37:51know, like trying to like develop that kind of same vibe.
- 37:53But I will. And it looks terrible.
- 37:55It sounds bad. Some of it does look bad.
- 37:56I will say even that at least you're like, because like the
- 38:00most important thing is telling people on a like, I enjoy the
- 38:04art form, but if your objective is just to get get content out
- 38:10so people know, you know, yeah, this guy is a doctor and this
- 38:15guy is, you know, ENT, ENT, then people know.
- 38:20But I to your point, I definitely didn't want to be
- 38:22that guy. I think, and I also think that
- 38:24people would do you think, I think that people I feel would
- 38:28be hesitant to to post those videos because it doesn't seem
- 38:35professional enough at its face. But I think that we live in a
- 38:43world now that's a lot less professional than it's ever
- 38:46been. I think that the the people that
- 38:49are spending money now and the people that are, you know, like
- 38:52the world that we grew up in or not is not a world of suits and
- 38:54formality and formal handshake. You dab someone up and you see,
- 38:58I mean, you see them, You don't you don't get for crisp
- 39:00handshake like, hey, good Sir, it's good to see you.
- 39:02What world do you wish you lived in, in between?
- 39:05It's really interesting. More.
- 39:06Formal environment with more social rules or one that's a
- 39:09little more informal? I really, I'm going to say the
- 39:15latter if there's space for the former to exist in it too, so.
- 39:23I would like to live. In like a free world where
- 39:27people, like, go to the movies in the pajamas, right.
- 39:29I think it's the structure. But like, if you also.
- 39:32And I think there could be, I think it'd be cool if there are
- 39:34movie theatres where like, if you went to them, it was known
- 39:36to be like a nicer event and you'd dress up for it.
- 39:39Yeah. You know, all bets are exactly
- 39:41right. So it's not like you have to do
- 39:43one or the other. And that's different places.
- 39:45Yeah. And you seem I always you always
- 39:47seem like a very I guess cosmopolitan or or individual,
- 39:53like a very person that they actually like depreciates unique
- 39:58and and differently totally, but I but I feel I I really believe
- 40:04what when TV just finished jerking off at the corner.
- 40:08He's back. How's it going?
- 40:12Talk to the guy. What do you say?
- 40:16What? Once other shit I've I've
- 40:20whatever. It's such a long story.
- 40:21You want to hear it? I'm I'm chill it soon bro.
- 40:26It's so. Just just know that, dude, I'm
- 40:31saying just tell you whatever, somebody know.
- 40:32Just remember, there's like 10 million people that are going to
- 40:35hear it. I think organizers for drawers
- 40:38and guy said I need one because my drawers.
- 40:40So you're going to hook him up? I have about 50 organizers that
- 40:43I can't sell in the back of my truck right now.
- 40:46You'll bring him. And, and I told him I'll bring
- 40:48him over and you can measure and see which one fits, but I'm not
- 40:51custom making one for you. And you just see if one of these
- 40:53fits in your drawer, probably will.
- 40:56And but the rest I told him I want to sell to a caterer for
- 40:58like charcuterie boards or something like that.
- 41:01That's it. That's a story, but what was
- 41:04funny? You like laughed like that's
- 41:09just that just sounds like your friend wanted something and you
- 41:11happen to be in that industry and say give him a free one.
- 41:15That's kind of nice dude. Would you give me a free
- 41:17representation? I think it.
- 41:19Depends. What if you're on Epstein's
- 41:22list? I don't know.
- 41:23What's that first thing I'll? Measure your drawer before I get
- 41:26rid of them. What?
- 41:27Do you want to measure your drawer?
- 41:28You it's it's W. Oh dude, that's a great idea.
- 41:30It's not a bad idea do. You want.
- 41:32To measure, Debbie bought organizers, but Deborah.
- 41:36Why did she buy organized? She bought because we didn't
- 41:38know the. Drawer.
- 41:39Yeah. Made out of what?
- 41:41Made out of plastic. It's just like you can extend.
- 41:45Oh, you got the extend there the.
- 41:52I'll make like. Like no, it fits your drawer
- 41:54exactly. What I realized Kiwi's entire
- 41:57character but in real life dude. He's a tiger character.
- 42:03No, no, I I believe you. If you were interesting, yeah,
- 42:10go. Sorry.
- 42:11My God, dude. Dude, I think it's really
- 42:15interesting that regular people content is coming back that like
- 42:23for for probably 20 years, probably 20 years, everything
- 42:26was like, there's one spy that like saved the world now.
- 42:30Like you see Netflix putting out like crime series based on like
- 42:35Yellowstone. Like Yellowstone.
- 42:38I'm talking about like nature shows, creature crime.
- 42:42Captures by. Porn.
- 42:48But I think that it. I know what you mean dude.
- 42:53I think a lot of the content. Did you, did you watch David
- 42:56Attenborough? I love David Attenborough.
- 42:58I believe what he did. Dude, he's like 100 dude.
- 43:00He's 100 about 2-3 years ago. What was he again?
- 43:04David, he's the voice over for every nature document.
- 43:08You know, Obama did one of those.
- 43:09Obama. Yeah, dude, he did a voice over
- 43:11for nature documentary. Well, Can you imagine what it's
- 43:14going to be like when he gets arrested and then just take it

- 45:58No, in New York, like the hustle, like.
- 46:00That's but the West Coast. They're all starting East Coast
- 46:03time a lot of times. Whatever, all I know is like.
- 46:06Do you think the West Coast is you're?
- 46:08They're not better than us. There's so much better than us.
- 46:11Their weather. Wait, hang on.
- 46:12So he's like everyone, Everyone's like, everyone's
- 46:15hustling, you know, like getting there before, like the day.
- 46:17It's like 9:00 lunch. And then I just said it.
- 46:19I was like, dude, people won't crash a plane into a building
- 46:23before 9:00 AM. You said that dude.
- 46:28Dude, that good? For you, man, we got the nun.
- 46:30Lugging joke and not being a comedian, you're was crying on
- 46:35the floor. I was like, I was like, in New
- 46:37York today, you don't even cross into a building before.
- 46:40Oh my God, there's some jokes that are so good.
- 46:42Very, very funny. No the.
- 46:44Statues. Laugh out loud, but like, you
- 46:47just feel wrong. Yeah.
- 46:49You know what it is, by the way? It's.
- 46:50I'll tell you what it is. It's the structure that that's
- 46:53also funny about it. There's a yeah, Samuel said it
- 46:58so well. He's like this joke, He goes,
- 47:00this joke is going to lose you guys, but structurally it's
- 47:02solid. And he put that so well because
- 47:05he was like, listen, the content's going to make you go,
- 47:09but the build up and the way that I've raised it and the
- 47:12terminology and execution is going to be flawless.
- 47:15We've all heard it because I OK, Joe gains a lot of heat because
- 47:18his last, his last, I love his last special.
- 47:20So happened to me. I love this.
- 47:22I thought I thought it wasn't up to par, but and the early stuff
- 47:27was also bad, but Rocky Mountain high album up to his most recent
- 47:32was so funny, dude. And do you remember vegan cats?
- 47:37He has a whole bit about vegan cats.
- 47:40Harvey Weinstein bit was so funny.
- 47:41A female Harvey Weinstein was hysterical to you and then you
- 47:45went to the show at remember right before we got COVID, he
- 47:48did a live show in Miami. You were there.
- 47:51I didn't go. Are you sure?
- 47:53I'm positive. I do not go.
- 47:54Someone else. I know I was.
- 47:56Oh, shit. Someone else.
- 47:58Someone else. He got a joke.
- 48:00He had such a good joke man. So I thought.
- 48:03It wasn't me, yeah. How to tell a joke?
- 48:06I just time to grow up. I also had a two nights at one
- 48:09time and the first night he said, you know why everyone
- 48:12says, well, I have a phone call to take this.
- 48:14He's like, no one's you're not really that busy.
- 48:16You know why not? Because they're calling you,
- 48:19right? No one left because it was an
- 48:22attack on them, like because they're calling you.
- 48:24Yeah. The second night he did the same
- 48:25joke. But he's like, you know why
- 48:26they're not busy? Because those people are
- 48:28important. Like you don't need to deal with
- 48:30these people. You have better stuff to do.
- 48:32That's so good. Cracked up.
- 48:34Because then the joke. Is done, then the joke is done.
- 48:36By the way, that's the structure.
- 48:39So he, so that's how he went about it.
- 48:41He did that at a young age and that's how he just changed his
- 48:43whole. Life.
- 48:44I bet that's also why you. That's also how you why you,
- 48:46when you deal with hecklers like you zone in on them and not the
- 48:50audience. Like you don't make a joke at
- 48:52the audience's expense. You make the joke at a
- 48:54particular person's experience that everyone else can get
- 48:57behind on. The hecklers, It's free
- 48:59material. Yeah, dude, you just go on of
- 49:00off of them for 20 minutes. Yeah, especially now because I
- 49:03think among comedians, the the cringe thing is to like do too
- 49:07much crowd work, because crowd work, according to them, it's so
- 49:11easy. They say it's cheap.
- 49:12It's a yeah. So it's like they go viral, you
- 49:15know, they're like. Like this.
- 49:16I don't like too much storytelling.
- 49:18There's so much personal storytelling.
- 49:19Oh really? I do like that I it's the artist
- 49:22kind of now. Storytelling.
- 49:23Just not the whole fucking set. Well, some observation.
- 49:29So Andrew shows his Yeah, exactly.
- 49:31His life thing was always. Different.
- 49:34That's story. That's that's not multiple
- 49:37stories. That's a whole set on that one
- 49:39story basically. And that was.
- 49:40Gold. No, but I know you're.
- 49:41Talking. That was one of the best
- 49:42standard. For sure performance I think.
- 49:44You're talking about when there are people who do pressure, you
- 49:48know, 100,000. About to say.
- 49:49I don't, I don't. I have never listened.
- 49:52He just said funny, so they're not.
- 49:53Necessarily true. He just.
- 49:54But he'll. And then he'll do a hysterical
- 49:56laugh. Yeah, and he does like this.
- 49:57Hysterical. He plays like this, drunk
- 49:59without a shirt on, like with the yeah.
- 50:02I know who he is, I just haven't.
- 50:06I think he's funny. Like there's little Instagram
- 50:08videos and stuff like that. There's a.
- 50:09Community I think he was good with Tom Segura is good stand
- 50:13up. I agree because I was going to
- 50:15say him that he was stand up. I think he was pod.
- 50:17I I hate his stand up. Oh, I I think it stands.
- 50:21I I've heard a few good bits. I was terrible.
- 50:23No, Theo Theo von Theo terrible. I I don't know.
- 50:27No, no, by the way. It's.
- 50:28The Tom Vera, you know, I mean, it's, it's interesting, but but
- 50:31I think it's I, I what I like about his podcast is that when
- 50:34he asks very good, he asks things that are so you know
- 50:38what, what people say, for example, about a genius is, am I
- 50:42calling him a genius? But he will say about a genius
- 50:44who says that they can explain it to you.
- 50:46They can explain it to you. You know, someone's a genius,
- 50:49but they can explain a difficult concept to you as if it's really
- 50:52simple. He's good at getting really
- 50:55smart people to explain things in a really simple way because
- 51:00that's right and not because he's a genius.
- 51:02He's no offense, dude, you know, but you know nothing but love.
- 51:06But like, he's not Eric Weinstein.
- 51:09Eric Weinstein, when he. When he.
- 51:11When he tells a story, dude, I love that dude, but he gives you
- 51:14an example. He could give you 10 different
- 51:17examples that that emphasize that exact point in 10 different
- 51:21topics, movies, music, television, pop culture,
- 51:25history, all to and all of them say the exact same point, which
- 51:29is the exact point you're trying to explain to you right now and
- 51:31I'll like. Ever listen to was him debating
- 51:35times Howard on Rogan? Dude, amazing.
- 51:37It was the greatest pop. I didn't listen.
- 51:38I heard Cliff. I was.
- 51:39He It was just so nice to hear something.
- 51:42He was. So he's such a good debater, but
- 51:45he was so nice or something. So, so smart too.
- 51:50Yeah. Because he, because he's.
- 51:52Trying to defend that 1 + 1 = 3 and our questions like.
- 51:55You're crazy. You know, but he also told to
- 51:57his face, You're looking for attention.
- 51:59It's wrong what you're doing, no?
- 52:01No. No, it's not what he didn't say.
- 52:02I know he didn't say it like that.
- 52:04The reason why it was just a little bit because you're
- 52:08wasting people's time. But your point is that he had a
- 52:12really good way of phrasing it so that Terrence Howard could
- 52:16hear it for sure. If he told Terrence Howard you
- 52:18don't know what you're talking about, he wouldn't hear that for
- 52:20sure. What he says is you're really
- 52:22smart. You know how to put things
- 52:23together in a unique way. Here's where you get lost,
- 52:26right? And So what he's doing is he's
- 52:28setting him up to be willing to hear the criticism.
- 52:31That, Eric, is is is. So smart, Eric's.
- 52:33Rephrasing, Terrence Howard was saying even though he knows it's
- 52:37bullshit he's under. Yeah, yeah, he's showing him,
- 52:39understands what he's saying. He.
- 52:41Understands. What he's saying, Yeah, yeah,
- 52:43dude. It's so good.
- 52:44Dude, it's so great so. Good.
- 52:46Yeah, I love Eric Watson. I think in the world of.
- 52:49I think I think in a. World of like everyone's.
- 52:52Trying to do, everyone's trying to play, I think.
- 52:55I think everyone plays a Duncan game, not a dunk.
- 52:58Everyone bench here came onto the scene and I think I think it
- 53:01started with him, but like this confident, very informative,
- 53:05clearly very knowledgeable person who like can't stand him.
- 53:08By the way. I hate to say it, no, but but
- 53:10Ben Shapiro, you can't judge me. It's not I love him.
- 53:13I think it happens to be I agree with a good amount of things he
- 53:16says, but but what he started, what he started was like this
- 53:20this like caricature of like. And now everyone's trying to
- 53:23copy this like unapologetic, know everything, super certain
- 53:28about everything. Not willing to hear anything
- 53:32that you are weak on. You just do like and it's if you
- 53:36look for it, it's obvious like anytime any of these like
- 53:39deflection character. Yeah, they just like pivot.
- 53:42But well, what about what? What do you hate about America?
- 53:45And what about yeah, those like America is the greatest country
- 53:48or they'll they'll be weak about something and then just pivot to
- 53:52a similar but topic they're very strong on.
- 53:55So they can say the one philosopher they read on that
- 53:57topic. Do you know Sinclair's?
- 53:59Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so, listen, it's like it's
- 54:01on, by the way, because it's baiting a skill.
- 54:03It's a skill. It's a skill, skill set.
- 54:05And this guy's done it 10,000 times.
- 54:07Yeah. But so do you think that
- 54:09Charlie? Did.
- 54:10Charlie Kirk's the same way, I think, because Charlie Kirk I
- 54:14think also similar in the sense of no distributive voice going
- 54:17to college campuses. No, no more than that.
- 54:20More than Ben. Yeah, I think he saw the bottle
- 54:23and I think he said like, we can squeeze this.
- 54:25And by the way, I'm not even saying that political movements
- 54:29or movements in general don't need hype character.
- 54:32Yeah, for sure they do. But but if you're looking for
- 54:34like a nuanced, interesting, unique point from Kirk from from
- 54:38Charlie Kirk, he's not the guy that's going to give it to you,
- 54:41right? He's not a philosopher.
- 54:42He's the he's the Dunkman. He's the guy that dunks and gets
- 54:46everyone to go. Oh, and watch here's.
- 54:48Your problem with Ben in that in that he deflects any other idea
- 54:52coming to him besides his like it's it's.
- 54:56The. Other thing the.
- 54:58Other thing that he but I what I would say.
- 55:01Is he? When he was on Jubilee people,
- 55:03he doesn't accept their ideas, he just says no.
- 55:06But when he was on Jubilee, you know what I mean?
- 55:08But I would say when he was on Jubilee, he went in front of,
- 55:11what's the guy's name? The the the well known also kind
- 55:14of a dunk, but he's a liberal, like similar to like Ben's.
- 55:19Oh, oh, oh, I know who you're talking about.
- 55:21Probably Crowder PP No, no, no, he's a streamer.
- 55:24Yeah. Destiny.
- 55:26No, not Destiny's great too, but I was thinking he's great.
- 55:28He's on Jubilee. He went on and this guy started
- 55:33talking about how the Senate is DEI OK because the Senate is 2
- 55:38people per state, and that that was negotiated by the states
- 55:42because they were insecure about their sizes.
- 55:46Cool. Then like struggling with that
- 55:49and trying to formulate and then later Ben says.
- 55:52What Senator? 2 Congressmen.
- 55:54Two senators per SE? What?
- 55:56Yeah, there's 2 senators, 100 senators.
- 55:59There's 100 congressmen. No, no.
- 56:02I used. To I know this, I don't, I don't
- 56:06know. I don't know this stuff.
- 56:07I'm not going to. I'm not going to pay this.
- 56:10I don't know senators and congressmen per SE.
- 56:14I'm I know this congressman per state and 1 senator.
- 56:18Every state has two senators. Congressmen are based on based
- 56:21on, you know, the 3/4 compromise and population.
- 56:24So you think you know something, look at that, and then you don't
- 56:26look, you don't know it. Brian.
- 56:30Pink chicken. But this.
- 56:38But wait. So yeah, hello.
- 56:41You're talking because no, I don't know.
- 56:42It's just me now. He went to go grab some No.
- 56:45So the funny. So he does the point of DEI and
- 56:48then bench care later says like he was the most interesting one
- 56:53to talk to. He he had an interesting point.
- 56:55He disagreed. Ultimately, he acknowledged that
- 56:57this guy like brought up an interesting fresh idea.
- 57:01He had a response, which was that the state's negotiated it.
- 57:03But it is rare, I guess. Yeah, by the way, that's a great
- 57:06call. It's a great call, by the way,
- 57:08Maybe maybe Bench and all these dudes, when I say I like him,
- 57:11don't like him, it's obviously based on their public persona.
- 57:14And then they do. And you know, all the videos I
- 57:16see, I'm sure he's a, you know, he's based it off his public,
- 57:19you could say. Voice.
- 57:20I don't care. They've been.
- 57:23Doing these public personas we have a problem with.
- 57:25He can be a nice guy, Yeah, by the way.
- 57:26And and what I've always said is that I think there's a time and
- 57:29place for the Duncan. And I actually think that a
- 57:31certain point dunking hurts you. And I think that, Yeah, can you?
- 57:34Explain what dunking is. When you like going for when you
- 57:37say like America's the greatest country in the world, then you
- 57:39ask a teenager to like respond to that.
- 57:42And then you always have a pivot ready and you always have
- 57:44something or let's say, no, it's not, it's not that it's, it's
- 57:49like up so that you can like you make a mistake that someone
- 57:51tries to argue with you and then you dunk on them and.
- 57:53You got a job? Yeah, Yeah.
- 57:55You just set it up because you know all this.
- 57:57Charlie Kurt does that. Yeah, and Ben Shapiro started by
- 58:00doing that where you say that anything.
- 58:02So what's your problem? And then they'd be like, my
- 58:04problem is that women do blah, blah, blah.
- 58:06And he's like, yeah, well, everything.
- 58:10You know when they're dunking, when they respond way too
- 58:13quickly to that. Yeah, that's right.
- 58:16Out of their mouths like. Pouncing 100% and he's so right.
- 58:20Like the second they finished like yeah, but they just.
- 58:23That's when you're negotiating. That's when you're negotiating
- 58:26with someone and you're like 200.
- 58:28Like whenever the other guy's responding way too quickly.
- 58:32100%. But that makes you not, that
- 58:34makes you not want to deal with that person.
- 58:36I actually think that's a big I also think by the way, and also
- 58:40he's kind of sorry to call him out like this flip flop.
- 58:46I don't think he's going to. I think it's ridiculous that he
- 58:49flip-flopped on like, I'd say freedom of speech stuff or like,
- 58:55you know, like DI stuff when it comes to like Orthodox Jews or
- 58:58Israel or whatever. Early on.
- 59:00He was early on when he was talking, they did his stuff.
- 59:03What happened? Nothing.
- 59:05Yeah. I don't know what happened.
- 59:07I know, but like it almost feels like there's been a, there's
- 59:10been a whoa, there's like 400 fat boys.
- 59:16Or is it running like probably. What's a billion dollar company?
- 59:18Yeah, yeah. Journalists work for him all
- 59:20over. Yeah, I think he had to sell
- 59:22some of his opinions, right. You have to sit to a certain
- 59:24degree of the sellout to be that big.
- 59:26You can't stick on everything. That's why I never want to
- 59:28freaking do any of that shit, dude.
- 59:30Yeah, it's tough, man. That's good.
- 59:31It's not. But it's also not worth it.
- 59:32Like, what's it worth? What's the ball?
- 59:34He says he shipped. He says he keeps.
- 59:36He gets to keep 60% of his opinions.
- 59:38But now and shift all that. But now everyone's laughing at
- 59:41him. True, yeah, you know, because
- 59:43you got stuck in you got stuck in that devil's deal that you
- 59:46made to, to to sell out and, and have and have one opinion for
- 59:50everything. Yeah, yeah, you know, and that's
- 59:51that's that's the problem. You can't change now It's it's
- 59:53too many too much online. Yeah, yeah, I think.
- 59:56There's been, There's been, there's been.
- 59:58Destiny is probably a great example on the left of someone
- 1:00:02who will literally just say whatever he thinks he does not
- 1:00:05he recently. I mean he's crashed out mine.
- 1:00:07What happened to him? He crashed out hard.
- 1:00:09He just started hating on concert.
- 1:00:12He's a liberal who does like. He does.
- 1:00:14He's got like, he's very like logic and making an actual, he
- 1:00:18wants to formulate a good argument.
- 1:00:19He's probably not. Even that liberal, he's probably
- 1:00:21what he call, he's probably an independent that just likes to
- 1:00:24say he's liberal. Because his court stays liberal.
- 1:00:25But but he's but he's a great example of that because his
- 1:00:28audience will always stay relatively small.
- 1:00:30Every time he has an opportunity to be bigger, he just like is.
- 1:00:34So I guess that he wants to keep his opinion so badly he wants to
- 1:00:38say. No, but you know by the way, but
- 1:00:40the difference is that. He if.
- 1:00:42He's. Good quality of his own
- 1:00:43opinions. He's a Tim Dylan or Joe Rogan.
- 1:00:45Sure, if he's a moron that's literally crashing out then he's
- 1:00:49devastating and he falls apart and no one knows what happens to
- 1:00:51him. You know, like.
- 1:00:52When's the last time? Like when's the last time he was
- 1:00:54getting respectable? Like he was going on like Lex
- 1:00:57Friedman's debate with a bunch of really not to do that.
- 1:01:02He went online, he said, shame on you, Lex, you piece of shit.
- 1:01:06Like for the for the most part, no way.
- 1:01:08What do you say rate relation with Lex Friedman did multiple
- 1:01:11things. I love Alex amazing content with
- 1:01:14Lex. He's actually growing.
- 1:01:16He's actually, you know, growing.
- 1:01:17And then he goes ahead and Lex, I think does like one interview
- 1:01:21with one of these conservatives and like I guess doesn't hit
- 1:01:23hard enough on like against the conservative points.
- 1:01:27And he's destiny like publicly says about Lex, like you sell
- 1:01:31out you piece of shit you like. And then Lex says publicly,
- 1:01:36like, I'm really surprised by this.
- 1:01:39I, I really thought we were friends.
- 1:01:40I thought this kind of criticism, you would DM me like
- 1:01:43we'd have a conversation about it.
- 1:01:44I don't know why you're doing this publicly.
- 1:01:47I, I feel it's, it's disrespect. And then they like they broke
- 1:01:50the relationship fell apart because I, I'm good about
- 1:01:53keeping, keeping himself a human.
- 1:01:55And it's so funny because he's such a robot.
- 1:01:57He's like, he's like a, he's robotic about keeping himself
- 1:02:00human. It's crazy, but I agree with
- 1:02:02you. Like Destiny just every, it
- 1:02:04seems every time the guy like finds a foothold, he just wants
- 1:02:07to be fringe. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:09And I kind of hear that at a certain point.
- 1:02:11And also by the way, and I really do think there is a human
- 1:02:15psychology thing of self sabotage.
- 1:02:17I think that devices. Are I think that like we take
- 1:02:20pleasure some kind of weird sick pleasure and like knowing your
- 1:02:23side. This guy nods along with your
- 1:02:25sabotage. Of course, that's what advice
- 1:02:27is. Advice is self sabotage, right?
- 1:02:29What's your advice? It's like I'm a healthy person.
- 1:02:31What's your advice? Your advice is always going to
- 1:02:32be drinking, smoking, women, you know, porn, whatever that
- 1:02:36whatever it is. But but we like everyone needs
- 1:02:40advice. It's so weird.
- 1:02:41We need like something to direct our self-destructive of like
- 1:02:44tendencies, tendencies into, but like, why do we even have that?
- 1:02:48Like what would be the point? Like what's that?
- 1:02:50Like what's the evolutionary purpose of having a
- 1:02:52self-destructive? You know that.
- 1:02:58We're human. Yeah.
- 1:03:00No dude, that just limits time being human.
- 1:03:04OK. So.
- 1:03:05But that's not good. You want you want to preserve
- 1:03:07yourself as long as possible. No, I never said it was good and
- 1:03:09you're not consciously doing. It dude, did you listen to
- 1:03:12figure out you're? Going to say it all.
- 1:03:13I think you just want to, you just want to like give in to the
- 1:03:16so you just want to give in to the dopamine head.
- 1:03:18You just don't want to. That's what it is.
- 1:03:19You don't want. To fight it.
- 1:03:21Yeah, yeah. Your body.
- 1:03:22You want to just do what feels good and you don't want to fight
- 1:03:24what feels good. And most people who do it
- 1:03:27further end up dead or. Over.
- 1:03:29Yes, exactly. Yeah, if you take it too far,
- 1:03:31you're, you're, that's the scary part, right?
- 1:03:34Everyone, Yeah. Everyone here knows someone who
- 1:03:35drank and drove. And everyone here, everyone here
- 1:03:40has probably, maybe. No, I have a lot of.
- 1:03:44I can't. I've always been very careful.
- 1:03:45But I know people who who I know I, I can't say I know people who
- 1:03:51are, who have a lot to lose, who will, you know, very publicly
- 1:03:55just get behind the wheel of a car.
- 1:03:57And it's, and it's, it's been a problem for them.
- 1:03:59Yeah. But you know what?
- 1:04:02They don't look at it like that. No, no, no, definitely not in
- 1:04:05the moment. But also I don't think there's
- 1:04:07certainly people that are certain the twenty 30th time
- 1:04:10they've done it. You know what sad dude, there
- 1:04:12was the UI. Most people who do it.
- 1:04:14It's like the 200th time I've been thinking about this for a
- 1:04:17while. I I, I, I, I was hanging out
- 1:04:23with someone. I went to an open mic like 6
- 1:04:25months ago, right? And I was hanging out and I
- 1:04:28brought AJ with me and, and after and after I and I can't
- 1:04:34smoke before I play. I get too self-conscious.
- 1:04:37But after I play, I go outside and I take a couple of puffs to
- 1:04:40hang out and go go back inside and hang out and see who else is
- 1:04:43playing. Excuse me?
- 1:04:45And, and there was someone outside.
- 1:04:50There's two people outside that I knew and I was like hanging
- 1:04:53out with them and I was talking to them and, and I and I was
- 1:04:54smoking and I was like, Hey, you guys want to hit.
- 1:04:56And they're like one guy was like sure, like takes a hit and
- 1:04:58like the other and like the person that he was with took a
- 1:05:01hit and the person took a hit with like a sad enthusiasm.
- 1:05:08You know, like you get like almost so whatever it is like
- 1:05:16almost like a sense of like guilt, but like I gotta have it,
- 1:05:20you know, like, and we've definitely had that feeling with
- 1:05:23like a beer or like a drink where like you didn't want that
- 1:05:26drink, but like everyone else is having a drink or like whatever
- 1:05:29is going to give like a sad enthusiasm for your vice where
- 1:05:31like, you know, it's not good for you.
- 1:05:33You know, you don't want it. You just go ahead and you just
- 1:05:34like push it, you know, and like I thought to myself, like,
- 1:05:38that's so sad. And then, and then I I mean, I'm
- 1:05:43experiencing myself too. No, I I listen.
- 1:05:45I think if we're, if we're honest, most people have
- 1:05:49probably experienced it. Most humans let themselves down
- 1:05:53at, at some point in their lives.
- 1:05:54Yeah. You know, no matter what
- 1:05:57capacity. Poor Kiwi, He's crying.
- 1:06:01But you're on a serious note, Suite.
- 1:06:03You know, but. I thought it was interesting,
- 1:06:06like I, I, that, that, that moment really resonated with me
- 1:06:09where like you could see the person like wanted to smoke so
- 1:06:12badly and like felt like they, they shouldn't and like did and
- 1:06:17like, there was like a like, like the way that like they just
- 1:06:19took the hit. They were like, so like, like,
- 1:06:22excited and prepared, you know? And I was like, I don't feel
- 1:06:25good about, like, sharing in that kind of sense, you know?
- 1:06:28Like, I was like, yeah, that wasn't what you wanted to do.
- 1:06:30No, of course not. I mean, I don't know if knowing
- 1:06:32is going to happen, you know? But can't control it.
- 1:06:34Yeah, I wonder we would just be. If you could be happy.
- 1:06:43You. Said you knew, you know, call
- 1:06:47people OD. Yeah.
- 1:06:51I don't even know deed. I don't people that committed
- 1:06:53suicide hang out with Wow. I know, I know, I think. 4.
- 1:06:58Or five people that committed suicide.
- 1:07:01Whoa, that's. A lot of people.
- 1:07:02Yeah, I did. Whoa, yeah, I know one person
- 1:07:06who committed suicide. Katie, did you kill him?
- 1:07:10Casey, do you want a truly no dude, I'll but but like it's an
- 1:07:15American film. There you go, man.
- 1:07:18I have. It's right here.
- 1:07:20Yeah. Oh, it's.
- 1:07:21So it's still going. Sure.
- 1:07:24OK, I'm going to take. Do you want to?
- 1:07:26Should I have citrus squeeze or another watermelon?
- 1:07:28Great. I'm not having a good time.
- 1:07:30I'm not doing it surely. I know which one should I have.
- 1:07:32Citrus squeeze or watermelon? Do you want the watermelon?
- 1:07:37We are doing it's. Crazy.
- 1:07:40He's asking. Me so panacea dude, what about
- 1:07:45Kiwi Kiwi's in pacing? He's looking at his no pacing
- 1:07:49going pasting split break. Oh, split break.
- 1:07:53Yeah, I wanted to ask you about AI more.
- 1:07:59No. About utilizing it about your
- 1:08:05friend that your friend that used it for for his business and
- 1:08:08whether or not you think that's a viable thing that's like
- 1:08:12worthwhile to do. This is unfortunate, but this is
- 1:08:14a weird time. I need the restroom but I he
- 1:08:17just. Oh, hang on.
- 1:08:20Well, I meant to. No, we're we're back.
- 1:08:22Yeah. We meant to ask what?
- 1:08:23What's how much? What have you learned since
- 1:08:27starting? Because this pods now you're
- 1:08:28over 100 episodes. Over 120 probably, because I
- 1:08:33know that you. Yeah.
- 1:08:34Well, we celebrated the 100th, Yeah, but it wasn't really the
- 1:08:37100th because you had like over 100, by the way, under named
- 1:08:40guys. And some of those were just you
- 1:08:42like Bill, like you were just. Yeah, you would just do just
- 1:08:45you. Those are.
- 1:08:46What have you learned since talking to that many people?
- 1:08:48Because you've talked to some interesting people.
- 1:08:50What have I learned? It's a cool.
- 1:08:53It's a cool thing. I've really learned that there's
- 1:08:58information to kind of back up anything that you want to find
- 1:09:02and there is literally an endless amount of information to
- 1:09:08back up people's biases to anything that they want.
- 1:09:10Did that? Was that depressing to see or
- 1:09:13feel? Because no, it kind of had a.
- 1:09:15Feeling that it already existed. To be you kind of knew, yeah.
- 1:09:18Everyone still everyone's talking shit.
- 1:09:20Yeah, it must be. It must be.
- 1:09:22Everyone's got info to back them up.
- 1:09:24But yeah, confirm it. But you know, it's actually
- 1:09:26crazy to me, though. It's crazy to me when they're
- 1:09:28actually think opinions that people have that really don't
- 1:09:32hold light. And then when they still stick
- 1:09:34to them and you're like no weight to it.
- 1:09:36It doesn't really like and, and maybe it's to me, I've been,
- 1:09:40I've been working really, really hard to try to be open minded
- 1:09:43and to really be able to like process and and like accept even
- 1:09:49if it's uncomfortable or, or difficult or challenging
- 1:09:52uncomfortable truths. Yeah.
- 1:09:53Uncomfortable truths. And and then when you see that
- 1:09:57people's opinions are shaped by their inability to accept
- 1:10:01uncomfortable truths, that's in your like, he just walked.
- 1:10:06In I don't even know. Who decides what you know what
- 1:10:09at the end of the day? It's so it's so crazy because
- 1:10:11like, you know, you say that AI is like it's a possible to tell
- 1:10:14the difference between like anything.
- 1:10:16It's already fucking impossible to tell the truth between
- 1:10:18anything anyway, dude. Well, that's not.
- 1:10:21It's not. You're not.
- 1:10:22It'll be on a higher level, but but to your point, same shit,
- 1:10:26same so. My brother-in-law in Israel,
- 1:10:28he's developing an app he's really close to like getting it
- 1:10:32done. An app.
- 1:10:33A lot of people develop an app. Basically.
- 1:10:37Not inventing the idea it. Listens.
- 1:10:40The idea is worth one stupid percent.
- 1:10:41Dude. He.
- 1:10:42Uses AI to listen to conversations and tell.
- 1:10:45They could tell based on what the person is saying, whether
- 1:10:47they're lying. So whoa, yeah, it's a whole.
- 1:10:50It's a context that's like the next, the next version of the.
- 1:10:55What do you call it? The what do you call detector?
- 1:10:57Yeah, lie detector. He's.
- 1:10:59He's been, he's been calling like all over the US, mainly the
- 1:11:02US. He doesn't deal with it, but he
- 1:11:03listens. He calls it forensic
- 1:11:09psychologist. Psychologist.
- 1:11:10And he just talks to them, you know, because those are the guys
- 1:11:13who could tell whether a person's lying or not without a
- 1:11:15lie detector. By the way, they usually can't.
- 1:11:18Whatever it is. Pretty notoriously he's.
- 1:11:20Building an app and like CEOs can use these.
- 1:11:23Use app for board meetings, job interviews, things like that.
- 1:11:28That's cool. That is very, very.
- 1:11:29I guess what I guess what it's probably better at than humans
- 1:11:32are is keeping track of a story that someone's telling and then
- 1:11:36catching inconsistencies because our memories don't tend to.
- 1:11:40End this conversation with his app has a whole analysis drop
- 1:11:43down of yeah that was said. Really, really, really.
- 1:11:46That's the. Way you were going with it,
- 1:11:47Awesome. You get to see.
- 1:11:48You get to. See the awesome.
- 1:11:50Logic training. That's awesome idea.
- 1:11:52Very, very. I love that.
- 1:11:54Almost done like with the initial like investment.
- 1:11:58Because the, the, the, the getting fucked left and right,
- 1:12:03man, part of AI isn't, isn't now because now, like frankly the
- 1:12:08only AI you see. Because I remember like 10 years
- 1:12:10ago I was talking about AI and like, really it was like,
- 1:12:14because not, I'm not like unique, but like there were
- 1:12:19people that just knew artificial intelligence was coming, but it
- 1:12:23wasn't to market. So like 10 years ago I was 15
- 1:12:26and like thinking about it, talking about it, then sending
- 1:12:28it in law school. And then like 2 years ago it
- 1:12:31actually exploded. Mark.
- 1:12:32Yeah. But like before two years ago,
- 1:12:34it was no one even thought about it.
- 1:12:36It was like if you mentioned AI three years ago, like, oh, like
- 1:12:39what? Like like you're not like, Oh
- 1:12:41yeah, sure. Because three years ago, the
- 1:12:43version of AI that we were seeing was, you know what it
- 1:12:46was? It was imessages guessing what
- 1:12:48our next word is going to be. And it was so bad at it.
- 1:12:51Do you remember that? Yeah, he was actually like, hey,
- 1:12:53new engineers. It was coming very fast and very
- 1:12:56aggressively. Yeah.
- 1:12:58But the the craziest part is going to be when AI, because I
- 1:13:01always remember this, this thing coming up, which is engineers
- 1:13:04right now are even now to this day are surprised at how well AI
- 1:13:10can. Yeah, they don't get it.
- 1:13:12They can. They can learn.
- 1:13:13I think we're really making consciousness.
- 1:13:16I think we are. I don't think I I.
- 1:13:17Really don't think it's that far.
- 1:13:20It's the top. It's Eric Weinstein again.
- 1:13:22Eric Weinstein again. Had a conversation with Diary of
- 1:13:25a CEO, and it literally sounds like he was an acid the entire
- 1:13:28time. He sounded like he was.
- 1:13:30He was speaking about, about he was.
- 1:13:32His responses had nothing to do with what the guy was prompting
- 1:13:37him with. But one of the things he said is
- 1:13:38that most human beings are LLMS. Like most of the LLMS.
- 1:13:43Yeah, large language models like most of your conversations that
- 1:13:47you have with people on a regular basis in your life could
- 1:13:49be had with ChatGPT. Yeah, you could do a binary of,
- 1:13:52you know, you could just say how you doing good Well, you know,
- 1:13:55how's life been? How's the kids?
- 1:13:56Good kids are fine. School's hard.
- 1:13:59You know like most of this stuff does not require conscience
- 1:14:03conscious thought. So human beings are LLM's to a
- 1:14:05certain extent. And then when you push us to a
- 1:14:07certain point and we have a certain amount of pressure or
- 1:14:10stimulation or flow and conversation, we can achieve
- 1:14:14something that kind of exceeds that level of LLM ship and
- 1:14:18that's consciousness. Well, the the issue is, the
- 1:14:24issue is we don't know what consciousness it is.
- 1:14:26And so the problem that you run into is, is I've been trying to
- 1:14:30reach out to people that study consciousness, by the way, for
- 1:14:32the podcast. Yeah, I want to talk to them.
- 1:14:33It's I, I would love to hear that.
- 1:14:35Because the, the biggest problem with AI isn't when I say
- 1:14:38problem, I mean distinguishing human from AI.
- 1:14:41Yeah. Is that the only way we ever do
- 1:14:44it is just based off of what you just said.
- 1:14:46We we only when I talk to you, when I talk TV, when I talk to
- 1:14:49people, you just you know that you're not AI because you
- 1:14:53whatever you think, look at yourself, you think you're not
- 1:14:55and you use free will. No.
- 1:14:57What? But you're confident even dude,
- 1:15:00No, no, but no, no. What was it?
- 1:15:01Because I'm talking about the question is the fact that you
- 1:15:03the observable, you're talking about observable universe.
- 1:15:06OK. You don't have a choice, right?
- 1:15:09To a certain degree, yeah, right.
- 1:15:11There are things you there are things you don't choose.
- 1:15:14You always have the purposes of your desire.
- 1:15:16Find out in my life, you have to be.
- 1:15:18You have a desire to reproduce, right?
- 1:15:20Yeah. That's not choice.
- 1:15:22That's DNA. That's someone wrote that into
- 1:15:25your DNA. OK, so we have evidence that
- 1:15:29there are things that we don't choose.
- 1:15:31We don't choose to have adrenaline pumping through US
- 1:15:33and have an animalistic response thing.
- 1:15:35Not to reproduce, though even it's a desire to.
- 1:15:38So birth control and contraception, but he's great.
- 1:15:42He's saying we can choose. Yes, there's before in front of
- 1:15:47us we can say, yeah, of course, that's also the same to make the
- 1:15:52same argument. If you were not in a place where
- 1:15:56you were there to protect your offspring, then you did not have
- 1:16:00offspring. That's why you didn't have
- 1:16:01offspring when you were 12, even though you're physically capable
- 1:16:04of. There's a lot of evolutionary, a
- 1:16:06lot of evolutionary. There's a lot.
- 1:16:07There's a lot. There's a lot you.
- 1:16:09Can't afford to have a kid. That's the point.
- 1:16:11And they don't have a kid. It's but it's not, it's not
- 1:16:14going against their nature. It's in their nature to not have
- 1:16:16a kid that they can't preserve. Correct.
- 1:16:19So it's still not a choice they're making.
- 1:16:22I mean if free will is given to every human being.
- 1:16:25That's that's what we say, no. That's crazy.
- 1:16:28This is straight from God. No, I'm sorry.
- 1:16:30So why it's so God? So tell me why so?
- 1:16:36That's the that's. What I understand the words that
- 1:16:38I understand, the words that we are not.
- 1:16:39But the point is, the point is we haven't mapped out what and
- 1:16:43how consciousness manifests. And I like to believe and do
- 1:16:49believe that there is some unique element to it.
- 1:16:52But in the observable universe, you have to prove it.
- 1:16:54And right now all we can prove is is how we see the universe.
- 1:16:59So when I'm talking to you, if a robot, right, if an AI can do
- 1:17:04everything you do everything, including programming not to
- 1:17:09sleep outside of marriage and infidelity, including all of
- 1:17:13those things and programming. All I can see are two versions
- 1:17:16of TV and they're and they and they operate the same way.
- 1:17:19They operate the same way I have.
- 1:17:21I have no way of distinguishing the two.
- 1:17:23That's the issue. Yeah, but that robot is not
- 1:17:26thinking about how I broke my ankle in 3rd grade and I was
- 1:17:31traumatized by that. No, Sir, I know.
- 1:17:34But am I aware that you're thinking?
- 1:17:36That no. OK, so who cares?
- 1:17:38What You're aware, but I'm only aware.
- 1:17:40Why does that? Matter.
- 1:17:42Because what Paige is saying is that to the observable universe,
- 1:17:44I won't have no way of knowing that you have your own
- 1:17:46subjective worlds and you can just made that up.
- 1:17:49OK, so I'm saying where you go with that?
- 1:17:51Who cares? Is that all we can measure?
- 1:17:54All we can measure is what we see and experience.
- 1:17:57And and I can't measure what you experience.
- 1:17:59I measure what I experienced, right?
- 1:18:01And and if I see an AI experiencing life the same way
- 1:18:06and I tested, you know, the Turing test, the Turing test is
- 1:18:09used. The Turing test is literally
- 1:18:11sitting in front of another human being and judging whether
- 1:18:14they're an AI and you have to figure it out.
- 1:18:16So no way really that's what it is.
- 1:18:19That's what it is. That's the test been the whole
- 1:18:20time. That's everyone says like the
- 1:18:21Turing test is. That's the Turing test is is
- 1:18:25that's a test. The test is, is it because we
- 1:18:28have because all we can go off of the house?
- 1:18:32But. Sit out of another guy on the.
- 1:18:33Street and I passed it on certain topics so if you think
- 1:18:36about car crashes you can't tell but right now I don't think it's
- 1:18:39passed like as like yeah if. There's a guy beating the shit
- 1:18:43out of another guy on the street.
- 1:18:44The robot is going to take the guy who's being the shit out of
- 1:18:47the other guy and be like, whoa, stop hitting him.
- 1:18:50What the human's going to say is the guy who's going to beat
- 1:18:52enough? Oh, that guy's that rapist from
- 1:18:54last night. Ohh yeah OK, good.
- 1:18:57Don't stop. By the way, but time out, time
- 1:19:00out, time out. That's just ridiculous argument
- 1:19:03because because AI has memory now.
- 1:19:06Dude, your ChatGPT remembers the conversation and click contact
- 1:19:11with though. Dude I understand.
- 1:19:13No, it's simple. I can make it because I will.
- 1:19:17Take a video of something and have that.
- 1:19:18No, no, any hypothetical. We can just always create a
- 1:19:22hypothetical where a AI manifest in its actions exactly the same
- 1:19:28as a human and then you still have to always you always end up
- 1:19:31having to determine right, two actions are the same, which one
- 1:19:35is human. Now wait one second.
- 1:19:38I want to give you an olive branch because because what I do
- 1:19:40agree with is I think Elon Musk recently said this.
- 1:19:44We nobody but he's doing early bro.
- 1:19:49He's been the guy that fucks wrong.
- 1:19:57Yeah, dude, Can you imagine that?
- 1:19:59Can you imagine 50 years telling someone, like there's someone on
- 1:20:02the spectrum and like we're quoting him and like, dude, 50
- 1:20:06years ago, not 50 years from now.
- 1:20:08Did I say 50 years ago? Oh, you said that.
- 1:20:10Yeah. No, but when it comes to human
- 1:20:12consciousness, we don't know. That's why I said, you know what
- 1:20:14it is. We don't know it.
- 1:20:15I agree. I agree.
- 1:20:16And, and what Elon Musk's point is, is like, if we want to
- 1:20:20continue to, to have the, the human experience, we, we just
- 1:20:24have to upgrade our hardware so that our, our.
- 1:20:26Our processing and our our hardware is just can can keep
- 1:20:29cause consciousness software. But yeah, but but I'm not, I
- 1:20:34don't denigrate the the human experience.
- 1:20:37Yeah. By the way, the idea and I don't
- 1:20:40know if it's gonna hold up. But it's an interesting idea.
- 1:20:43That the AI conscious is gonna match the human conscious is
- 1:20:46totally absurd to me. That's all really.
- 1:20:48Dude, it's not at all even a little bit scary to you.
- 1:20:50No, I. Think it's going to be so?
- 1:20:53Scare the shit out of me, dude. I just go for a job.
- 1:20:55One of the first people to eat. Dude, this guy's like fuck that
- 1:20:59AI is going to come along and be like, well this guy don't come.
- 1:21:02Close to the to the way we were created in the image of God.
- 1:21:05That's it. I'm sorry.
- 1:21:07Like by the way, I. And I think AI is going to be so
- 1:21:11smart and so, but it's not going to come close.
- 1:21:13By the way, there's a lot of people that I remember thinking
- 1:21:16this a while ago. And then I think other people
- 1:21:19obviously come in the same room, which is when you look at
- 1:21:21obviously the Torah and the what it means to be human, that the
- 1:21:25Torah. But the Torah even contemplates,
- 1:21:28albeit when we when we think about my chef, we think about
- 1:21:32all these concepts it we do discuss, you know, the human
- 1:21:36experience sort of has an endpoint that that everyone's
- 1:21:40there's going to be more. We say we're going to go to
- 1:21:42Olamanishama, which is really the world of souls.
- 1:21:44So you know what that is? Yeah, we might find a way to
- 1:21:47capture are consciousness, which could be the soul and no idea
- 1:21:52what's going on we're. Like the thing that affects the
- 1:21:55soul? Well, I just think that we have
- 1:21:57no idea what's going on. We have no idea what's going on.
- 1:22:00And they're synthesizing intelligence and they're doing
- 1:22:03all this stuff. And so I, I try to stay humble
- 1:22:06while also staying, you know, saying, dude, it's crazy.
- 1:22:09And also the interesting thing is I thought it's really
- 1:22:12consciousness. I'm not scared at all.
- 1:22:14I'm not scared. I'm having a beer.
- 1:22:15If I was scared, they have you sitting here not.
- 1:22:17Going to be. No, no, I said.
- 1:22:20I'm here. He's having his last beer.
- 1:22:32No bro, I meant like I'm not obviously not scared of you're
- 1:22:38out of control dude. I love it.
- 1:22:39Just give you a little shot. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:22:41Dude, I'm not, I'm not saying I'm like scared enough that I'm
- 1:22:44going to like stop living. I listen.
- 1:22:46Like you said, you got to live. You laugh.
- 1:22:49What is it? Live, laugh.
- 1:22:50Love. Like, yeah, Make Love.
- 1:22:51Not. Not love, not war.
- 1:22:54Listen, the fact that three humans right now are sitting on
- 1:22:56a table drinking, talking about this stuff, it's amazing.
- 1:22:58It's a beautiful. Thing, dude, we're having a good
- 1:22:59time. That's what you think dude.
- 1:23:00You're all my AIS in my head. I cannot wait to go home and
- 1:23:04listen to that Kim's mom song again.
- 1:23:06Oh, it's so good. By the way, I'm telling you
- 1:23:08Pops, no cat. I just dude, I'm.
- 1:23:13Filling it up. Man, no, you've been slacking
- 1:23:15it. Yeah, dude, I've.
- 1:23:18You look a little blessed, a little blushy.
- 1:23:25I'm just talking out of my huge ass dude.
- 1:23:30What? Never mind how bad.
- 1:23:32That's pretty. Good, I get because.
- 1:23:35Dude, just don't try to box me out before playing basketball.
- 1:23:40I we're trying to, we're trying to I love it.
- 1:23:44I. Yeah, like Kimi's knocking away
- 1:23:47and let's. Just do this now.
- 1:23:51I think that why dude, we're back, dude, we had to pause
- 1:24:01because there's been a fit of outrageous behavior.
- 1:24:05So we're going to we're going to just simmer down a little by
- 1:24:09taking another shot of tequila and pacey is chugging my Lefroy
- 1:24:14like a lunatic. By the way, it's something you
- 1:24:17sip. It's not something you chug.
- 1:24:19You're an opitic. I'm going to be real.
- 1:24:21My my dad introduced if anyone, if any of the listeners want to
- 1:24:25get a bottle of Lafoe. It's a great bottle, very smoky.
- 1:24:29But I had AI had a friend in college, Michael Steinberg,
- 1:24:33whose friend sounds so Jewish. He is Steinberg Steinberg.
- 1:24:38Wow, friend of the pod and friend of the pod.
- 1:24:42Dude, let's go. He's friends.
- 1:24:43He's like friends with the pod and he and he lived down the
- 1:24:48down the hall from me in college.
- 1:24:49And he used to be able to smell when I'd open up a bottle of the
- 1:24:52floor again Friday night, he'd walk into my apartment to be
- 1:24:54like, you're drinking smoke. Yeah, 100.
- 1:24:56And I'm like, that's my dad. I say, dude, he opens the bottle
- 1:25:00like at the bar, like I walk in and I know that such a potent,
- 1:25:04pungent, potent. Just the AC for people
- 1:25:09listening. This guy looks up like like like
- 1:25:12a lizard like a like a reptilian instinct of danger.
- 1:25:16Pouring rain. First of all.
- 1:25:19Dude, I got a good one. I got a good one.
- 1:25:22If anyone knows what you look like right now you're wearing.
- 1:25:25I got to explain the joke. Right now you're wearing like a
- 1:25:28Nike soft polo. Why do you look like you work at
- 1:25:31a dealership? I've been.
- 1:25:34Saying I have a red one in the exact same way.
- 1:25:36Me too, by the way. Yeah, look like he's trying to
- 1:25:38sell me like KV. I've been trying to convince KV
- 1:25:42for three years to leave his jobs and sell pickup trucks.
- 1:25:49I mean. By the way, you would put me in
- 1:25:51a pickup truck, dude, I would walk in.
- 1:25:54I would walk in like, I don't know.
- 1:25:55And he'd be like it's going to it's going to change your life
- 1:25:58and you're going to walk away. Good.
- 1:26:00You're going to you're going to love it, dude.
- 1:26:01I would walk away. Your shitty house would look
- 1:26:04like a mansion. If you sound like a drug I'm
- 1:26:07telling you could sell me a truck and a Harley at the same
- 1:26:10time bro. Dude, I love your house.
- 1:26:13Man, I'm just messing you out of you.
- 1:26:14But dude. Oh yeah, by the way, you hit us.
- 1:26:16You. You.
- 1:26:17You. Yeah, dude.
- 1:26:19For no reason. Oh, you didn't even have to.
- 1:26:22I knew the joke was done. I know.
- 1:26:24I went deep. Yeah.
- 1:26:25What? Have four boys, bad kids.
- 1:26:29Have four boys, boy, and then show me your house.
- 1:26:32Dude, I don't know how you. I don't know how you breathe.
- 1:26:34By the way. Dude, I I like in and out.
- 1:26:37What are you talking about? He's not you.
- 1:26:38You've been here every other night.
- 1:26:40Dude, that's how I. Breathe.
- 1:26:41What? He's been here every other
- 1:26:43night. My.
- 1:26:44Kids. Are in bed this by 7.
- 1:26:48Dude, today, this morning, Shua's teacher canceled school
- 1:26:55and Rafael went to the guy. Levy, the chiropractor.
- 1:27:01He's half an hour away. She leaves at 10:30.
- 1:27:05Her appointment's at 11. She's there for an hour.
- 1:27:07She goes to the supermarket on the way back.
- 1:27:09She gets home at one. I have Shua and Ariel at home.
- 1:27:12Oh my. I did so little work and so
- 1:27:17little productivity between the hours of 10:00 in the morning
- 1:27:22till 1:30 in the afternoon when she got home.
- 1:27:24I did absolutely nothing, dude. I didn't just no way because I I
- 1:27:30would get tired, but like I got to keep up.
- 1:27:33You know, that's so true. And I totally agree that
- 1:27:36tradition. I mean, that's the thing, like I

- 1:29:10I'm OK with that. You know, like most about the
- 1:29:12first couple years, the kids life, the kids.
- 1:29:14And by the way, I'm OK with that.
- 1:29:16Obviously I came with it. I, I, I never trade a car for a
- 1:29:19child. I understand, but we live in a
- 1:29:21world that hates them. I know, I know we live in a
- 1:29:24world. I was actually talking about
- 1:29:26this. We when's the last time you saw
- 1:29:30a woman in a movie that was successful and confident in a
- 1:29:34mother? I know it's.
- 1:29:35Was that something you saw that don't confident what and a?
- 1:29:37Mother as a mother in a healthy marriage, was that something you
- 1:29:41saw that in a it's always like a broken marriage.
- 1:29:43It's a broken marriage. A strong independent mother, a
- 1:29:45mother that chose a woman that chose not to have kids.
- 1:29:48So by a woman and the and the truth is, I was talking to a
- 1:29:53couple of my people recently about this on on the podcast
- 1:29:56also that movies and and entertainment shape culture.
- 1:30:03They shape it. Of course everyone loves them
- 1:30:06and then. Yeah, dude, it makes a
- 1:30:07difference. It's so true.
- 1:30:09You know what's going on. You're embarrassed to say that
- 1:30:11there's you know what's going on.
- 1:30:12Mothers in It's 100% if if if someone told me if someone did
- 1:30:18the amount of work that Gabby does having four kids and at
- 1:30:22their job, I'd be like you're a hero too.
- 1:30:25So you're you're don't much remember.
- 1:30:27TV shows you don't remember, but you remember like the TV.

- 1:31:06beats like a snarky comment. He's like you bitch.
- 1:31:14It's so good because that's like, if it was real life,
- 1:31:17that's for sure would have happened.
- 1:31:19That's what. Would happen.
- 1:31:19That's terrible about it. It's so funny.
- 1:31:21Dude, it's crazy. Japan.
- 1:31:25That's what's going on in Japan. What?
- 1:31:26Do you mean the housekeeper is making snarky comment to the
- 1:31:29homeowner? Get in the.
- 1:31:31Ditch. Oh my God, what were you saying?
- 1:31:46Dude, the 50s went hard, man. Do you ever hear Shane Gillis is
- 1:31:49the best bit about George Washington I've ever heard.
- 1:31:53We all grew up knowing this shit.
- 1:31:55We all knew like George Washington went hard, then Shane
- 1:31:58Gillis. It's about structuring a bit the
- 1:32:02way he's like don't make me love him.
- 1:32:03Don't make me love George Washington and then see some
- 1:32:06crazy shit like his teeth and then I have to my favorite
- 1:32:11vision, my favorite visual is and then then they they they
- 1:32:14shove you out like a hot party. You're blinking.
- 1:32:21You're blinking, son. Like what the?
- 1:32:35That was the best one. I was such a good thing, the
- 1:32:39woman that was George Washington's house.
- 1:32:44He brings his guys on a. Boat in the dead of wind and
- 1:32:48he's like, come on here. We're going to kill him, by the
- 1:32:53way. I started thinking about that a
- 1:32:54lot. Oh.
- 1:33:02Man did. Actually see that?
- 1:33:04That's what actually. Happened.
- 1:33:05Yeah, things are crazy. I know angry like 6 three.
- 1:33:10No one wants any part of it. I feel like, you know, it's.
- 1:33:13Be president. I'm sorry.
- 1:33:15He wasn't the one that wrote you.
- 1:33:17Thomas Jefferson. You know a lot of writers.
- 1:33:20He was. You don't hear.
- 1:33:20You don't hear about all the amazing dude.
- 1:33:27This guy went hard. He was.
- 1:33:28He was not a poet. Yeah, I, I, he was.
- 1:33:33I think he was. He was pretty.
- 1:33:35He went. He was jiggy with it.
- 1:33:36He did not. I don't think he did.
- 1:33:37He let his slaves go after I think.
- 1:33:41He let his slaves no. No Jefferson.
- 1:33:43Jefferson after in his will, I think, released all I think
- 1:33:47Washington. How?
- 1:33:48Convenient. No, no, no.
- 1:33:52I think they're free to work for someone else.
- 1:33:56No, but it was taught that wasn't rough.
- 1:33:58Free to go until that was wrong. After I die.
- 1:34:02Everyone's like with dude you're overthinking.
- 1:34:06Don't overthink with Jews, it's no with.
- 1:34:12The Jew. With Jew the the.
- 1:34:17Say it I'm. Listening No the.
- 1:34:19We're not, we're in the one park, no ones the same.
- 1:34:22I think we're at two hours probably.
- 1:34:23No, we're like an hour and probably 25 minutes.
- 1:34:25Wow. That's it.
- 1:34:26That's not bad. Yeah, Yeah.
- 1:34:28The everyone's like, maybe I don't feel like the hardship of
- 1:34:33Jews, which is why I don't definitely don't, dude.
- 1:34:36Yeah. So.
- 1:34:36So I'm saying when, when, when you're going to feel it in 10
- 1:34:38years. I'm saying, yeah, but yeah.
- 1:34:41But like when people like make jokes about slave or like when
- 1:34:44people talk about slavery or like or try to not minimize, but
- 1:34:48try to contextualize slavery. Yeah, everyone had slavery.
- 1:34:51Yeah, it can. It feels diminishing to the to
- 1:34:54the suffering of your great grandfather.
- 1:34:56Your grandfather I get Yeah. So as a Jew I don't feel that
- 1:34:59that being said that context, you can laugh, joke so can you.
- 1:35:03But that being said when people talk about like JFK not J RFK,
- 1:35:09like the letters RFK wrote about Jews about like we can let them
- 1:35:13in but like you can't let them like move around the country.
- 1:35:16Everyone was anti-Semitic who said that?
- 1:35:19RFK. I know.
- 1:35:20FDRFDR yes, he has his letters. He hated Jews, dude, everyone
- 1:35:24hated Jews until like 1950. We don't fucking sucks.
- 1:35:29We gave everyone another fucking reason excuse to hate us again.
- 1:35:32Well, there's no good, but we gave a little door a little bit.
- 1:35:37Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
- 1:35:41I just an excuse, just I was talking to my I know.
- 1:35:46The guy I. Learned with today.
- 1:35:47This morning we're talking about this.
- 1:35:48He's. One of the only people in the
- 1:35:50world that I could talk to you about this kind of stuff except
- 1:35:52for my fucking podcast apparently.
- 1:35:54And and and we're talking and I was like, dude, why is Israel
- 1:35:59set of making themselves look so fucking bad to everyone in the
- 1:36:04fucking world all the time? America hates Israel right now
- 1:36:09more than they. Have.
- 1:36:10In my life, in my that was happening and this accelerated.
- 1:36:14That was already happening. No, it wasn't, dude.
- 1:36:16Yes, it was. Young people didn't fuck with
- 1:36:18this. We young people, yeah, you know
- 1:36:20what we could have done? We could have helped ourselves,
- 1:36:22dude, no, if young people were saying guess what?
- 1:36:26We're sick of 25 years of war and the same Middle East war.
- 1:36:29Israel didn't have to go and get America involved again when all
- 1:36:32of America was like, we don't want this and I have no
- 1:36:35appetite. We voted for Trump into not gave
- 1:36:37it. But the the question is the
- 1:36:38Gaza, the issue in Gaza would have happened in 10 years.
- 1:36:42I know years 30 Gaza eventually happened.
- 1:36:45Well, maybe. You know what else I think could
- 1:36:48also happen, which I think no, would have come by and said,
- 1:36:53yeah, you get Saudi Arabia. I'm going to rebuild the
- 1:36:57rebuild. Leave it, leave it alone right,
- 1:37:01so America looks great because of funding it.
- 1:37:03Israel looks good because of letting it happen.
- 1:37:05UAE has the OR Dubai, whoever it is, trust the Arab world.
- 1:37:10You all go together, you get you say you guys all have a
- 1:37:14legitimate opportunity to have good structure from the ground
- 1:37:17up. Go ahead and do it.
- 1:37:19And for some reason instead of that, every single time that BB
- 1:37:23comes to the White House, we end up bombing another country.
- 1:37:26I'll say this, that looks bad. I agree BB is more more of a war
- 1:37:31monger than maybe Israel needs right now.
- 1:37:33That being said, I think there's a lot more heat that Israel gets
- 1:37:37simply because the the you could say Israel's about to make a lot
- 1:37:43of Israel was in the process and is maybe in the future going to
- 1:37:47continue making a lot of progress in trade agreements,
- 1:37:49right? Where a lot of with even with
- 1:37:52the UAE, with Saudi Arabia with they're working on that.
- 1:37:57Yeah. So, so all these countries were
- 1:37:59normalizing was were constant. There was a constant
- 1:38:03normalizing. Well, the reason October 7th
- 1:38:05happened the Jordan, Jordan in Syria was reason the reason the
- 1:38:11reason people say part of the reason October 7 happened was
- 1:38:15because of the normalizing of trade relationships.
- 1:38:18And I ran. No, dude.
- 1:38:21Do you disagree that Iran is? Do you disagree that Iran has
- 1:38:24continued? No, I don't drop up the the
- 1:38:28issue. I don't disagree.
- 1:38:30No, No, I don't disagree. Do you agree?
- 1:38:33That. Israel had almost certainly
- 1:38:37either two options a known about October 7th before it happened
- 1:38:43or while it was happening and responded very late and B, I
- 1:38:48don't believe there's a chance in a million years.
- 1:38:50They don't know where the hostages are.
- 1:38:53I think in a minute, I think both all of those things, both
- 1:38:57of those those things, both of those options, our generation is
- 1:39:01screwed. Both of those options, I think
- 1:39:05are are products of a world where we assume that there's
- 1:39:10perfect information everywhere. And it's almost scary to think
- 1:39:14that there is imperfect information.
- 1:39:16It's scary to think that Israel isn't smart enough to know where
- 1:39:19every hostage is exactly. It's scary.
- 1:39:22I don't think it's scary to think that there was a mishap to
- 1:39:24some 20. Yeah, it's scary to think that
- 1:39:28there's some 21 year old women. It's scary to think that it's
- 1:39:30not wait, wait. It's scary to think there's
- 1:39:32some, there's some. Wait.
- 1:39:33It's scary to think there's some 21 year old at the desk, some 20
- 1:39:37year old Intel operative at the desk who doesn't know.
- 1:39:40It's scared to think we don't know.
- 1:39:42And the same thing happened with 911, everyone said.
- 1:39:44I can't. Believe no one knew about It's
- 1:39:47scared to think that the world is chaos to a certain agreement.
- 1:39:51You can talk to him. I, I, I, I agree with you.
- 1:39:53I'm saying I don't know. I think like we all know
- 1:39:55everything and there's some guy at the top that knows everything
- 1:39:58and everyone else. It's an excellent argument.
- 1:39:59I do not disagree with you. I really don't.
- 1:40:02I really don't. The first all that we knew about
- 1:40:04it before. We, I think that, I think
- 1:40:07October 7th and two, we knew where the hostages are.
- 1:40:10Maybe not all of them, but we know where a bunch of them are
- 1:40:12and we could get them out. We have not.
- 1:40:14We said the same thing of Pearl Harbor.
- 1:40:15We said that Pearl Harbor, they said I'm not.
- 1:40:17I let it happen because the boats were lined up together
- 1:40:20because Bora Bora knew, we knew that the planes were coming.
- 1:40:23But the truth is we knew the planes were coming.
- 1:40:26We didn't know because there were a lot of training
- 1:40:27operations and that never happened before.
- 1:40:29And the boats were lined up because we were more concerned
- 1:40:32about sabotage than than than a plane coming and bombing in a
- 1:40:35linear line. Sure.
- 1:40:36So that's I'm saying for sure, do not do not time out.
- 1:40:41Let's say, hypothetically, I concede to.
- 1:40:44To that complete. Point right, which I let's say I
- 1:40:46do, maybe I do I don't have, I don't have a very strong opinion
- 1:40:51one way or the other about it because I don't know anything
- 1:40:53about it. So I don't need so, but what,
- 1:40:55what I will say is that it did take like 7 hours to respond to
- 1:40:59the scene. It says Israel does not Israel
- 1:41:02does not take 7 hours to respond to anything.
- 1:41:06When I, I will go to the airport and I will I will go to Ben
- 1:41:10Gurion airport. It's very, it seems, dude, I'll
- 1:41:12go to Ben Gurion Airport and someone leaves their backpack
- 1:41:15outside for 30 seconds too long and bomb squad is there and then
- 1:41:19the entire thing is shut down and.
- 1:41:21Then. They say, oh, they're they're
- 1:41:22like. This is the border of Gaza.
- 1:41:25No, but the worst was that they were giving excuses like there
- 1:41:27was an election going on. We were sidetracked.
- 1:41:30Go fuck yourself, yeah? Like he said here for here's go
- 1:41:35fuck Yeah, exactly. Here's here's what I believe.
- 1:41:38I it seems pretty wild. It's.
- 1:41:41Amazing. I could be wrong.
- 1:41:43I'm totally OK with being wrong. I could be wrong.
- 1:41:45I, I, I would, I, I have no problem being wrong.
- 1:41:49I think that BBBB is causing issues to avoid to to avoid to
- 1:41:54avoid the the day of reckoning that he has to face inevitably
- 1:41:58sure he already had a had a day of reckoning to face prior to
- 1:42:02I'm not I'm not I started. I'm not an Uber fan of Uber.
- 1:42:08I'm not arguing. I'm not arguing with you.
- 1:42:11I'm just I'm just making no, I'm not trying to fight with you or
- 1:42:14argue with you. My point is that you could fight
- 1:42:17an argument. I know, but I'm not trying to
- 1:42:18because I think that all this is in the conversation and the good
- 1:42:21like I what was best for Israel that that.
- 1:42:24But that does not mean that you don't get to say when you think
- 1:42:27they're doing something stupid that you can't say that you
- 1:42:29think they're doing something. I I started.
- 1:42:31I think, I think, I think Phoebe is not the right shit.
- 1:42:34I think Phoebe is not the right leader for today.
- 1:42:37What we need. Yeah.
- 1:42:38And the same thing can be said about Winston Churchill.
- 1:42:40Yes, there's a bad thing. There's a lot of people who are
- 1:42:43good for church, what Family Guy.
- 1:42:47There's a lot of people are good for a certain period of time or
- 1:42:49yes, I, I, I thought for a while that BB is a little just he's
- 1:42:53just a little too much for, for what Israel may need when it
- 1:42:56comes to the subtlety of diplomacy.
- 1:42:58Diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy, yeah, and trade and all that
- 1:43:03stuff. But yeah, it's not just
- 1:43:04politics, by the way. I think it's really interesting.
- 1:43:06I was talking also to someone else recently about this, where
- 1:43:10I think that because there's been a systemic breakdown in
- 1:43:15trust in authority and institutions, there's been a
- 1:43:22breakdown in the trust that young people have not wanted to
- 1:43:25get involved in those institutions, right?
- 1:43:28So like say, Hollywood for example.
- 1:43:42Hollywood's run by old people. They do the same shit year to
- 1:43:47year. We took the the swing off the
- 1:43:49tug. It was just to like curl the
- 1:43:52experiment. Dude.
- 1:43:54Hollywood to get kids does not stop.
- 1:43:59That's not making the same shit because the same people have
- 1:44:04been running the company for twenty, 30-40 years.
- 1:44:08News hasn't changed. The same corporations have been
- 1:44:11the same people for the same 203040 years.
- 1:44:12Politics hasn't changed. I think that for, well, every
- 1:44:17but even education, young people are turning away from college
- 1:44:20for the first time in 30 years, 40 years, 50 years.
- 1:44:24I know, dude, it's going to be great.
- 1:44:26But, you know, it's amazing. But it took so long.
- 1:44:29Someone was like, do you want to, do you want to pay into
- 1:44:31Florida? What's that for the program
- 1:44:33where you're paying now and then have it like exponentially
- 1:44:35cheaper for your kid if you start paying now Prepaid.
- 1:44:38Yeah. I'm like, dude, of course you
- 1:44:41think in 20, you think in 20 years college is going to be a
- 1:44:44thing. I had that for Nathan.
- 1:44:45I cashed it out. Man, yeah, you're like, what is
- 1:44:47this? You're like, well, this was a
- 1:44:48stupid idea. Like, I can't believe I did this
- 1:44:50for three years. But I think the point is.
- 1:44:53That was going for so long. Yeah, I think that there's so
- 1:44:56many old people. Interrupted you?
- 1:44:58Yeah. Well, so I think there's so many
- 1:45:04young people that are so disenfranchised with the world
- 1:45:07today that we don't want to step up to the limelight in the in
- 1:45:13what's been historically the regular areas.
- 1:45:15Instead, people are trying to make their own things.
- 1:45:18What, what, what, what worlds are the young are the young
- 1:45:20people in? They're in podcasting, they're
- 1:45:23in AI, they're in technology. They're in worlds that are not
- 1:45:25typically considered old school. They're not in politics, they're
- 1:45:29not in film, they're not in education, they're not in
- 1:45:32universities, they're not in research.
- 1:45:35They're not in like, I think a lot of people are so
- 1:45:38disenfranchised with the way that the old school has run
- 1:45:43things that they've kind of, they, they've given up pursuing
- 1:45:47it. And instead of pursuing it, they
- 1:45:49just let them keep it and they try to do their own thing
- 1:45:51separately. And I have no problem with that.
- 1:45:54Yeah, it could be a good thing, but it takes time for the world
- 1:45:57to switch over. For example, I just read on
- 1:46:00Twitter like Variety had a top 100 meaningful, like impactful
- 1:46:06podcasts, shows Joe Rogan didn't make the top 100.
- 1:46:09No, that was. So I know.
- 1:46:11Does that, does that show you how huge of how huge of a chasm
- 1:46:16there is between the mainstream, quote UN quote, corporate
- 1:46:20mainstream media and what people actually listen to?
- 1:46:23And there's no way to get recognized in that kind of world
- 1:46:26and be in that kind of world at the same time.
- 1:46:28You should have say that point for a podcast like 10 minutes
- 1:46:31into it instead of, yeah, dude, I'm going to say it again, dude.
- 1:46:34It's a very, very good point. I think that chasm is going to
- 1:46:40continue. Yeah.
- 1:46:41And then young people and, and then and that's like, I'd say,
- 1:46:44for example, cable television versus streaming, right?
- 1:46:48Cable television is just going away.
- 1:46:51I think a lot of these methods that that are old school, that
- 1:46:54no one's adopting, that no one has even like the effort or the
- 1:46:57energy or like the will to fight late nights over.
- 1:47:00Yeah. They're like, you know, I'm not
- 1:47:01going to fight to try to get on this late, late, late night
- 1:47:04show. Shit.
- 1:47:05This sucks. I'm just going to do my own
- 1:47:07podcast and you know what? It works so well that all the
- 1:47:11late night shows aren't making any money anymore.
- 1:47:13Here's the question I have because it's to me originally.
- 1:47:17And even still, although it's a little less I'm so I'm so
- 1:47:21excited when I see podcasting and like, because the way you
- 1:47:27used to learn something, if it's good or bad, but it's at least
- 1:47:31at least it's authentic. The way, dude, bottom shelf, the
- 1:47:36way you used to, the way your mom's bottom shelf, dude.
- 1:47:40Yeah. The way you used to learn
- 1:47:41something was through like, your older sibling or your community
- 1:47:45or area. And now with podcasts, with all
- 1:47:48this stuff, you. I remember when, like, I started
- 1:47:51seeing like, I learned almost certainly more from, like, free
- 1:47:56information than I did from school because I was
- 1:47:58homeschooled and the only school I ever saw was really law
- 1:48:01school. Yeah.
- 1:48:03Like in an authentic manner and so like learning from the world.
- 1:48:06Into law school. I do like Kim Credit Action.
- 1:48:11I just yeah, you're making that shit up, dude.
- 1:48:15So, like, the only schooling I ran was law school like that
- 1:48:18barely. I mean, taught me obviously
- 1:48:20stuff, but like, nothing about like, what makes me a person.
- 1:48:24Yeah. And it's crazy how like, but now
- 1:48:27that's my English degree was really useful to me.
- 1:48:30Yeah. It taught me how to be a person.
- 1:48:31Yeah, and like that was the only thing you taught me.
- 1:48:34But yeah, I didn't, I didn't know you had an English too.
- 1:48:37Yeah. What kind?
- 1:48:38Yeah, yeah. English Slit Foster,
- 1:48:41Shakespeare, that stuff. Dude, fuck that shit.
- 1:48:42I didn't read any of that shit. Yeah, dude, I, I did all, I did
- 1:48:45all these creative writing. I did creative writing.
- 1:48:48I think I did 2 creative writing things in my I got started
- 1:48:51creative writing and the only major there was was either
- 1:48:55rhetoric or creative writing. And I didn't want to do
- 1:48:57rhetoric. I didn't even let the men watch.
- 1:49:00Because there's an H after the R.
- 1:49:01Yeah, exactly, dude. Yeah.
- 1:49:03What's your creative right? What?
- 1:49:05A lot of poetry, dude. Poetry.
- 1:49:07Poetry. It's ironic.
- 1:49:09I thought you would really like, like Chaucer stuff.
- 1:49:12You know what I learned Chaucer. I love Shakespeare.
- 1:49:16I didn't love Old English. I love Beowulf.
- 1:49:20That is all English. I know.
- 1:49:21That was the only one that I liked.
- 1:49:23I loved Beowulf. There's something about it that
- 1:49:25was so funny, that was so like the.
- 1:49:27Big roasters. I read violence ago.
- 1:49:28He was big on that. He would always no.
- 1:49:32Dude, you know who I like? Dude, the little engine that cut
- 1:49:37the little pill. I just need a pill.
- 1:49:39Dude, when I when I saw on screen, I had a teacher that
- 1:49:43used to show me a Shakespeare scene with three different
- 1:49:47actors, Dude, that's that was him.
- 1:49:50I know dude, there's two different.
- 1:49:52Actors, I was. Listening.
- 1:49:55And each of the actors would play the role completely
- 1:49:58differently. And that's why I loved it.
- 1:50:01I was like, when you have the ability to take a script and
- 1:50:05translate it, if I tell you, Pacey gasps, right?
- 1:50:11You gasp out of enthusiasm. You gasp out of angst.
- 1:50:16Or. You gasp seriously out of
- 1:50:18surprise. But the point is that a lot of
- 1:50:22what screen writing is a lot of what acting and screen writing
- 1:50:27is, is the more specific you are as a screenwriter, the the the
- 1:50:31worse the actor could afford to be.
- 1:50:33Yes, yeah, absolutely. Because if you're a really good
- 1:50:35screenwriter, you don't even leave that direction.
- 1:50:38Like apparently the office trees have great screen.
- 1:50:40Yes, apparently the office was, was was shot like that or like
- 1:50:44the worst actor where is written where everything was written.
- 1:50:47Camera zooms into Jim's face because he clearly feels
- 1:50:50uncomfortable responding. To the question.
- 1:50:52And like first actors. But it was amazing.
- 1:50:54By the way, the big you know, you know, by the way.
- 1:50:56And everyone says, Oh, well, comedy, it's hard to do it that
- 1:50:58way. The big, you know, everyone, you
- 1:51:01don't think about the big my favorite movie of all time.
- 1:51:03OK Do you know that every single, you know, every single
- 1:51:07word to the word, they were asked like, did you ad Lib?
- 1:51:10Because they all feel so natural.
- 1:51:12It sounds natural. It's amazing.
- 1:51:15Every word was written. And they and they emphasized
- 1:51:18that you do it that way. Yeah.
- 1:51:19And they did. There was not one word of that
- 1:51:22that wasn't written. They're also directors, for
- 1:51:24example. No, that.
- 1:51:25No. But then kind of Doug Allen.
- 1:51:27Yeah, Doug Allen talks about there's an answer where he goes
- 1:51:30I want one take where it's because Doug Allen wrote the
- 1:51:33show Entourage, and he was the writer and the creator.
- 1:51:36And so a lot of times you'd be like, I want one take my way.
- 1:51:40And then you could do however many takes you want, as many
- 1:51:42different ways as you want. But I want to just see my my
- 1:51:45script come to life and then if yours is better.
- 1:51:47I'll put yours in. Yeah, because if you're, you
- 1:51:49know, if you have a better idea and your and your and your
- 1:51:52interpretation of the scene is better, then I'll definitely go
- 1:51:55for it. And but like he'll take 4-5 and
- 1:51:58like, and that's that's an interesting thing because a lot
- 1:51:59of times people say fire the next day, Dude, I was ready to
- 1:52:08defend a final like he's he's actually cooking with this
- 1:52:11point. I love creativity.
- 1:52:13I love creating funny content. But then you came out with a
- 1:52:16really funny comment, dude, fire the next day.
- 1:52:19And that was good. Dude.
- 1:52:21Are you still writing? What are you still writing?
- 1:52:24I'm not. I don't do a good writer.
- 1:52:27No. You want to do stand up writing,
- 1:52:28dude, Stand up. Yeah.
- 1:52:30I don't know that I'm. I don't know.
- 1:52:32I thought you meant free creative writing.
- 1:52:34I with stand up. I have a great bit I'm trying to
- 1:52:37work through now. Let's hear it was.
- 1:52:39Oh, don't do it in. Kernel open.
- 1:52:43Mic about how like the government is so like we control
- 1:52:46Oh, you're ready to start the government.
- 1:52:48This kid got an ass dude. Like we think about it every
- 1:52:52part of like the road, every part of government.
- 1:52:56It starts with like broadly speaking.
- 1:52:58Then you talk about the road, like do you understand how many
- 1:53:01Rd. rules there are? Like you, there's like you
- 1:53:04can't, you can't like left turn, like dotted line, there's
- 1:53:09straight line. And then out of nowhere, out of
- 1:53:11nowhere, we just created the, the roundabout.
- 1:53:17Just like just merge A4 lane roundabout, just merge and just
- 1:53:22like just pray to God it works and it's like.
- 1:53:24Perfected like a motherfucker. Good, good premise.
- 1:53:28Good premise, dude. But like, it's such a crazy
- 1:53:30concept on the road. We're just like everyone train
- 1:53:33in the circle and just go the eggs that you want.
- 1:53:35Like, I don't know. I love it.
- 1:53:37Yeah, I love it. I like the I like the bit also
- 1:53:40about being I think someone could do a really good job with
- 1:53:43with forget, with forgetting what it's like to be in the car
- 1:53:46versus being a pedestrian. You're like, you're a
- 1:53:49pedestrian. You're always pissed off at the
- 1:53:51view on the cars. When you're in the gum, you
- 1:53:53immediately forget. Fuck you asshole, already
- 1:53:57walking on the street. You're like, you're like, dude,
- 1:54:00I have to be turning. It's my light.
- 1:54:03I'm walking like that's very good.
- 1:54:06A little piece. Someone spit on my windshield
- 1:54:08one time. Dude, I was in I I'll tell you
- 1:54:13exactly where I was. I was on 100th and Columbus.
- 1:54:17I was making the right turn to head South on the Upper West
- 1:54:22Side. I, I was either living or
- 1:54:25visiting. I lived in an apartment building
- 1:54:2897th in Columbus, OK and I made the less than 100th and it was
- 1:54:34the people's light. Like you know what I get is The
- 1:54:36Walking light. Seasons, right?
- 1:54:38Not seasons. Whole Foods, the Whole Foods,
- 1:54:41the Whole Foods. Next 90. 4th Alright.
- 1:54:44No, the Whole Foods. Yeah, Whole Foods next to your
- 1:54:46moms house. And and so it had like the
- 1:54:55people crossing sign with the sign with the top sign.
- 1:54:58And this guy was crossing and I was inching forward while he was
- 1:55:02walking and he felt the guy that I guess inched forward into his
- 1:55:06personal space and took creative liberties of spitting on my
- 1:55:09windshield and. Telling me to go.
- 1:55:10Fuck myself and I was like, well, I could just spray that
- 1:55:14right off. But also he was so dude, I think
- 1:55:19cities are bad for people. Also, I wanted to say this since
- 1:55:24I texted you earlier today about the podcast.
- 1:55:26Dude, the rest of New York has to be a different state than the
- 1:55:28suburbs. What do you mean?
- 1:55:31Like I think the boroughs have to be 1 state and I think that
- 1:55:34anything north of like Rockland has to be its own state.
- 1:55:38And I bet that New York would be such a better place to live like
- 1:55:41the rest of New York. NY bro, all here is upstate New
- 1:55:43York and the city. That's it in Brooklyn.
- 1:55:47Think about how. Different OK upstate New York
- 1:55:49isn't here. I'm not from from from that
- 1:55:51crazy upstate New York is Rockland.
- 1:55:54You're. From.
- 1:55:55Binghamton, Buffalo here. Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester,
- 1:55:59Finger Lakes. Jack Rondex.
- 1:56:02Those. People do not.
- 1:56:04Those are all. Part of New York.
- 1:56:05Those people do not all belong to the same political decision
- 1:56:10making as the 17 year olds in Manhattan or the 23 year olds
- 1:56:15in. Manhattan.
- 1:56:15But The thing is, the population of Manhattan equals the
- 1:56:17population. Yeah, of all those things, it
- 1:56:19exceeds it. That's the point.
- 1:56:21And those people do not have, I think that city, how many people
- 1:56:24live in New York City? That's wild.
- 1:56:27Millions. But by the way, it it moves, I
- 1:56:29mean, I grew up here. I I don't like that kind of
- 1:56:32movement. It's not natural to me, but.
- 1:56:34But I didn't grow up with it. But it's, you know.
- 1:56:37Oh, yeah. Dude, let's see another one.
- 1:56:39We'll call it the I don't know, the fish, the tequila bottle.
- 1:56:41Yeah, let's do it. That's the.
- 1:56:43I don't. I grew up here.
- 1:56:45I love it. I do love.
- 1:56:46But you. But you said you grew up really
- 1:56:48up to date all the summer, right?
- 1:56:49Yeah. Summers.
- 1:56:50Half the summer I was homeschooled, so half the summer
- 1:56:52I'd spent up seeing dude. Half a year.
- 1:56:55I mean, half the year. I want to.
- 1:56:56I want to homeschool my kids, dude. 8.5 billion 8.5 billion
- 1:57:01people in New York City. That's crazy, I think over 350
- 1:57:04languages spoken daily. Wait, can I 300 and?
- 1:57:0750 million people are in the. USI want to homeschool my kids.
- 1:57:10That's really crazy. Did your parents have to do a
- 1:57:12lot of work to homeschool you? I so I loved my experience
- 1:57:17homeschooling. I think one of the advantages
- 1:57:21your mom. Did you have that one?
- 1:57:23Your mom's. He left a lot of stuff at your
- 1:57:26mom's. Yeah, it's a yayo.
- 1:57:30You have to eat the tequila with a with.
- 1:57:32The line with it. I do do.
- 1:57:33This guy chews on the line like an ape.
- 1:57:36Yeah. What are you saying?
- 1:57:37Do you not need a line? Do you think I need?
- 1:57:38No, dude, I don't need a lime. It's good.
- 1:57:40Tequila. Tastes good.
- 1:57:43What He Hein, Hein. Dude, do you think?
- 1:57:46Do you think I could homeschool my kids?
- 1:57:48No. What do you think I could my
- 1:57:51kids? Well, let me do the shower
- 1:57:53quick. How'd you came again?
- 1:57:56It kills me he's just shooting the fry dude.
- 1:58:00You could definitely educate them.
- 1:58:02But dude, my kids don't like you.
- 1:58:04Can I tell you what I I don't want to.
- 1:58:06Think. The only I'll say the only tell
- 1:58:09me you think the prep my prep first of all, I think that was
- 1:58:13in the Hebrew school or yeshiva half the day and.
- 1:58:16There you go. Right.
- 1:58:17I think that the classroom setting does not encourage
- 1:58:22what's going to be required to succeed.
- 1:58:25And even five years from now, totally.
- 1:58:28And I don't think that my kids will have, and I don't think my
- 1:58:32kid will benefit being a bottle of seltzer.
- 1:58:35Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.
- 1:58:37I don't think my kid will benefit from being in a
- 1:58:39classroom with 12 other kids learning Mr. Grossman's.
- 1:58:47That's wow. OK, Doctor Brown.
- 1:58:49Doctor Brown. Whatever it is, right?
- 1:58:52I love you Doctor Brown. I, I I think that if I taught my
- 1:58:57kid literally how to listen to I know this sounds crazy, but I
- 1:59:03don't think it is right. David Draymond's Heavy Metal
- 1:59:06Disturbed No, I think that if you got your kid to listen to
- 1:59:11particular either master classes, podcasts, YouTube
- 1:59:15channels on, on on various topics that equal English,
- 1:59:20history, math, science, and then you encourage them to spend half
- 1:59:25their day pursuing something that that's creative on their
- 1:59:28own time in their own way. So can it.
- 1:59:30So that's what I did. That's what we did.
- 1:59:33Yeah. And do you think that was, do
- 1:59:34you think that was awesome? I can't remember the name of the
- 1:59:36guy that came up with that, but that's a, it's a specific kind
- 1:59:39of home school. And it's, it's, it's like, so I
- 1:59:44used, we first tried a few programs at work and then my
- 1:59:47parents decided the clown layer, Compuhy clown layer.
- 1:59:52And then they use complex to supplement stuff that you can't
- 1:59:56like algebra, you can't teach yourself, But so you use like
- 1:59:59courses. There were two of those,
- 2:00:01environmental science and algebra.
- 2:00:02There's the only, there's the only courses that ever took.
- 2:00:05Everything else was what you said.
- 2:00:07So 300 hours of American history in like.
- 2:00:10My whole education, yeah. So you do it.
- 2:00:12You and you prove it. You did it.
- 2:00:15But it's so much fun, too. Like, the way you teach it could
- 2:00:17be enjoyable. I mean, you could be like, make
- 2:00:20like a project explaining the Civil War.
- 2:00:23It's exactly what? So you would have to like create
- 2:00:27information, then your parents would have to like, positively
- 2:00:30reinforced. Yeah, of course.
- 2:00:31Like at one point I. How involved are your parents in
- 2:00:34your education? So my mom up until high school
- 2:00:37age, I started high school at 13.
- 2:00:39I finished at 16. Nice.
- 2:00:41It was great. We did you go at 1616?
- 2:00:44I went to to Community College courses for two years in the
- 2:00:48summer. So you got an associate at 16?
- 2:00:51At 16, I started at Wolfson campus.
- 2:00:53So at 13, I started taking Community College courses at 16.
- 2:00:57Really. How old are you?
- 2:00:58I didn't know what I was, what I was supposed to do all day.
- 2:01:01I look over TV's and like fast. He's grabbing some shit out.
- 2:01:09No, I don't need to talk about it.
- 2:01:10Let's just about something fun, dude.
- 2:01:13I think I know, but I want to. I'm down to laugh too.
- 2:01:17I want to do something like. I don't want to.
- 2:01:20First of all, I don't want to spend $100,000 a kid.
- 2:01:23Yeah, See what you should do. The answer is second of all, I
- 2:01:25think I can teach my my kids are better in college classes for in
- 2:01:31the summer only. And then I would just do like
- 2:01:33classic. Were they hard?
- 2:01:34No, no, no. The the the hardest one was bio,
- 2:01:39but it wasn't hard. It was bored.
- 2:01:41It just wasn't my topic. The at 16, I started college.
- 2:01:45At 20, I was done. Four years later, I was done.
- 2:01:47I started law school at 21. By 24, I was done in law school.
- 2:01:52It didn't seem it's awesome. It didn't seem like it was later
- 2:01:57that I like, it didn't seem unique to me, only ironically,
- 2:02:01because my sister did everything, like way more
- 2:02:05efficiently than me. So is she younger than you?
- 2:02:08Older. Older than you?
- 2:02:09Yeah. But she did like, she she was
- 2:02:11like older sister, dude. She was.
- 2:02:13That's the most underrated thing in the entire world.
- 2:02:15She was done. She was done with her masters.
- 2:02:17She she was like in the family. She was a practicing
- 2:02:20psychologist by 21. No way.
- 2:02:23Yeah, like fully done working. Like she's kick ass.
- 2:02:27But your sister. Yeah, but.
- 2:02:29And she to this day. Where did she live?
- 2:02:31My beach. Really.
- 2:02:33Yeah, Good for her. Yeah, she's amazing.
- 2:02:35But. But I'm saying like, it didn't
- 2:02:36it wasn't like it wasn't that I was.
- 2:02:38It's so I I wasn't smart. I wasn't like, uniquely.
- 2:02:43You're smart, dude. No, but I wasn't uniquely smart.
- 2:02:45I was just like home. To your point, homeschooling
- 2:02:48encourages earlier. Earlier, like, like, there's no
- 2:02:54reason why you can't be finished with high school by 16.
- 2:02:57Yeah, there's no reason. Yeah.
- 2:02:59And so I did it. So yeah.
- 2:03:03That's awesome. The one problem is no, this
- 2:03:06social media wasn't a problem. It wasn't a problem.
- 2:03:08Thank God my family did. My family wasn't.
- 2:03:10Like, it's so funny. It's just my family wasn't
- 2:03:20against for the people, for the whatever, whoever's listening,
- 2:03:24someone just left the room. Yeah, my family wasn't.
- 2:03:28Again, it was like there was a lot of people I knew who were
- 2:03:31homeschoolers when I was like 1011 years old, I went to
- 2:03:33homeschool conventions and there were a lot of Christian people
- 2:03:37that were keeping their kids home because they didn't want
- 2:03:40them. Like to hear the devil's word.
- 2:03:43OK, gotcha. They're crazy people.
- 2:03:45So if you're not homeschooling to, like keep your kid away from
- 2:03:49bad influences, which is a problem because then you'll like
- 2:03:51jurymen how they act. Yeah, of course.
- 2:03:54And it will be crazy. Yeah, of course.
- 2:03:55If you're like encouraging your kids to like go out and like
- 2:03:58crush it and see the world and talk to people, then you have no
- 2:04:03problem. And especially if you guys, I
- 2:04:04don't want to do religious and you go to shul like I had I had
- 2:04:07tons of friends from synagogue from shul and it was it wasn't
- 2:04:12that's what I want to do, dude, everyone looking out of my mind
- 2:04:15and I'm like, it doesn't make any sense to send my kids to
- 2:04:17these places. It seems so obvious.
- 2:04:19And also I'm there was only like, my dude, I'm a teacher.
- 2:04:22I'm like my mom taught for 10 years.
- 2:04:24No, she knew shit. Mom taught for 10 years.
- 2:04:26She's like, I don't want my kids in this.
- 2:04:28They don't know shit, dude. I don't want, I don't want my
- 2:04:30kids learning in these stupid schools and public school,
- 2:04:35private school, X amount of dollars a year.
- 2:04:38It doesn't matter. I I think I loved my upbringing
- 2:04:41and I gotta tell you that it is a real it's a real risk.
- 2:04:44Listen, you, you know me. It's it's so fortunately I'm,
- 2:04:49I'm very, I'm very comfortable and very well-rounded.
- 2:04:54I'm very comfortable with my own skin.
- 2:04:55But like, there's so many people.
- 2:04:57Ludicrous. Yeah, who are so uncomfortable
- 2:05:01or so sad and so of course, by the way, but that's why I think
- 2:05:04so. The Jewish education, yes, in my
- 2:05:06opinion, yes, Has that place where like, yeah, you send your
- 2:05:09kid. I think that between the fact of
- 2:05:12me probably and I think for one for for better, for worse,
- 2:05:18pushing my kids to pursue a passion, whether it be a sport
- 2:05:21or an art or an instrument or whatever that encouraged them to
- 2:05:26like have group activity and like to be with other human
- 2:05:28beings as well. Yeah.
- 2:05:29And religious life and going to synagogue.
- 2:05:32Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:05:32And all that. That's I think by the time I
- 2:05:34started talking about the four classes of science, history,
- 2:05:38math and English, I'll be like, who gives a shit?
- 2:05:41It's not complicated. No, that's tough the most more.
- 2:05:43And listen, I remember thinking it at a certain point point like
- 2:05:47I remember thinking it was, it's really important that that I in
- 2:05:52social that I talked to people and socialized.
- 2:05:54I must been like 10 years old and I knew it and it was and I
- 2:05:58loved talking to people. I loved.
- 2:06:00It wasn't it wasn't a problem for me.
- 2:06:01Thank God it wasn't a problem, but I just so many people that
- 2:06:06it was a problem for there's there's people.
- 2:06:07If you're homeschooled and I know and you and you don't take
- 2:06:10it, it's on you. But I parent your parents can't
- 2:06:13do it for you. Like Oh, yeah, no, you can't.
- 2:06:16You can't like shove your kid in front of you.
- 2:06:18You, you have to. That's a scary thought, by the
- 2:06:19way. It's a scary I'm that's a scary
- 2:06:21thought. That's one thing for my kid.
- 2:06:23You your kid has to just like you want to be able to do it for
- 2:06:26your kid. I know, I I know.
- 2:06:27Dude, turn that shit off. Is it, is it the CEO?
- 2:06:32What do you got? If ACEO can run a company, raise
- 2:06:373 kids and take a concert with a woman he's having a fan with,
- 2:06:42you've got time to go for a run. Dude.
- 2:06:46I think we're doing the podcast. Is that man?
