00:03:08 ◼   ► like yeah like a little just little ass

00:03:11 ◼   ► ass infront felt like maybe you don't

00:03:14 ◼   ► want though the weight and performance

00:03:16 ◼   ► characteristics of full-on chaps maybe

00:03:18 ◼   ► you just want the part where you're

00:03:19 ◼   ► asking normally stick out maybe you're

00:03:21 ◼   ► modest you want to go to a parade and

00:03:23 ◼   ► ride on the float but you don't want

00:03:24 ◼   ► your butt cheeks out there

00:03:26 ◼   ► yeah chaps are meant if you're on a

00:03:29 ◼   ► horse who and your horse brushes up

00:03:32 ◼   ► against another horse or a cow or a

00:03:35 ◼   ► fence a with your horses want to do

00:03:38 ◼   ► right horse is trying to knock you off

00:03:40 ◼   ► as best they can John they're doing the

00:03:43 ◼   ► low-hanging branch or a cow

00:03:45 ◼   ► they're going to get up on it and hope

00:03:48 ◼   ► that they can knock you off and that's

00:03:49 ◼   ► why you have chaps on right to keep your

00:03:51 ◼   ► pant legs from getting a braided or

00:03:53 ◼   ► something I don't know why you wear

00:03:54 ◼   ► chaps frankly I but there's lots of

00:03:56 ◼   ► reasons I mean sorta like you're

00:03:58 ◼   ► describing it's like so like why you

00:03:59 ◼   ► would wear gloves there's all kinds of

00:04:00 ◼   ► things you're gonna encounter that could

00:04:01 ◼   ► take a chunk out of you brush let's say

00:04:05 ◼   ► coarse point yet parts pointy brush but

00:05:32 ◼   ► traveling yeah I've done a lot of

00:05:33 ◼   ► traveling I'm not done yet because as

00:05:35 ◼   ► you know the life of an artist is the

00:05:38 ◼   ► life of an eternal vacation basically

00:05:41 ◼   ► I've just been on a I've just been on

00:05:43 ◼   ► two major warm-weather vacations and now

00:05:46 ◼   ► I'm going on a on a lengthy ski trip

00:05:50 ◼   ► it's it i can't defend it

00:05:54 ◼   ► really yeah i don't i don't produce

00:05:56 ◼   ► anything worthwhile for the world right

00:06:00 ◼   ► I'm yui marking don't feel like you need

00:06:01 ◼   ► to defend that John I'm like a game

00:06:03 ◼   ► designer except they don't even design

00:06:04 ◼   ► games

00:06:05 ◼   ► yeah it's true he has much value though

00:06:07 ◼   ► right i mean you know what we write his

00:06:10 ◼   ► paper hat my daughters like that a

00:06:13 ◼   ► favorite video game right now is a game

00:06:16 ◼   ► where you stare at this same area of a

00:06:19 ◼   ► backyard of a house and try to make cats

00:06:21 ◼   ► come into the yard

00:06:23 ◼   ► I'm doing what you would never do in

00:06:26 ◼   ► real life right and so the answer your

00:06:29 ◼   ► way for cats to come and then you try to

00:06:31 ◼   ► track the cats and then that gives you

00:06:33 ◼   ► the opportunity i don't exactly

00:06:34 ◼   ► understand claim to understand the game

00:06:35 ◼   ► i know it is primarily about collecting

00:06:37 ◼   ► cats you get like pictures of them and

00:06:39 ◼   ► stuff but then also when you I think

00:06:41 ◼   ► your reward for attracting cats it is

00:06:44 ◼   ► you're given the opportunity to buy buy

00:06:46 ◼   ► goods virtual goods inside the game that

00:06:49 ◼   ► enables you to attract more cats

00:06:51 ◼   ► oh sure sure she loves it uh-uh I'm

00:06:55 ◼   ► wondering now that you say this I've

00:06:58 ◼   ► always been very curious about

00:06:59 ◼   ► birdwatchers

00:07:00 ◼   ► oh yeah because they're out here i think

00:07:02 ◼   ► it was a cover up front for something

00:07:04 ◼   ► else

00:07:04 ◼   ► well yeah me too but but the more I look

00:07:06 ◼   ► into it the more it seems that they are

00:07:08 ◼   ► just out for watching Birds gathering

00:07:11 ◼   ► gather it was what they're gathering

00:07:13 ◼   ► having watched a bird collecting the

00:07:16 ◼   ► experience of having seen a bird

00:07:19 ◼   ► yeah and different birds so they're like

00:07:20 ◼   ► did you ever have you ever seen a

00:07:24 ◼   ► spotted throated warboss yeah sure

00:07:28 ◼   ► though the third row warthog yeah the

00:07:30 ◼   ► war or wearing warbling bore blah grow

00:07:34 ◼   ► long and the other person goes yes and

00:07:37 ◼   ► then they both have collected having

00:07:39 ◼   ► seen it over and that's very interesting

00:07:41 ◼   ► to me and they're not in the

00:07:43 ◼   ► birdwatchers of the bird photographers

00:07:44 ◼   ► are different people too so they're not

00:07:46 ◼   ► even watch they're not even collecting

00:07:48 ◼   ► having taken a picture of a thing I've

00:07:51 ◼   ► never had an opportunity to talk about

00:07:52 ◼   ► this and i haven't actually thought

00:07:54 ◼   ► about it that much but as you get older

00:07:57 ◼   ► you start to realize that there are what

00:07:59 ◼   ► you from isms for example use their

00:08:02 ◼   ► existential euphemisms for example like

00:08:05 ◼   ► it let's say you look for opportunities

00:08:07 ◼   ► like for my wife i think i think going

00:08:10 ◼   ► to the gym or going to yoga is very much

00:08:12 ◼   ► about going to the gym and going to yoga

00:08:14 ◼   ► that's always a part of it but but it's

00:08:16 ◼   ► also that she's not with us like she

00:08:18 ◼   ► gets an hour to herself or two hours or

00:08:20 ◼   ► you're saying yeah I'm just like dad

00:08:22 ◼   ► saying all we're out of milk

00:08:24 ◼   ► I'm happy to go to the store and get

00:08:25 ◼   ► some milk uh-huh because you get a

00:08:27 ◼   ► second to yourself and maybe you can

00:08:28 ◼   ► smoke a cigarette

00:08:29 ◼   ► yeah like my grandfather said I'm going

00:08:31 ◼   ► out for a packet

00:08:32 ◼   ► and he didn't come back for 15 years

00:08:34 ◼   ► yeah or like that it's all it's a lot

00:08:36 ◼   ► like that and so I don't know why but as

00:08:37 ◼   ► I got older I started to think it's not

00:08:39 ◼   ► that I can't imagine why someone would

00:08:40 ◼   ► super watching it just it seems a little

00:08:42 ◼   ► obscure it's one of those things like

00:08:44 ◼   ► gorilla costumes are quicksand in the

00:08:45 ◼   ► seventies where it came up so often the

00:08:48 ◼   ► even as weird as it was like is that

00:08:49 ◼   ► much quicksand in the world wait a

00:08:51 ◼   ► minute you are really nailing something

00:08:53 ◼   ► here have you talked about this before

00:08:54 ◼   ► I've mentioned another place I'm not the

00:08:56 ◼   ► only person there is actually her

00:08:57 ◼   ► podcast a few years ago about what

00:08:59 ◼   ► happened quicksand is quicksand was

00:09:01 ◼   ► everywhere it was it was terrified of

00:09:04 ◼   ► quicksand it seemed like it looked

00:09:05 ◼   ► around every corner there was certainly

00:09:07 ◼   ► a period probably half a year wherever I

00:09:09 ◼   ► would avoid sand because given the

00:09:10 ◼   ► exposure in the media

00:09:12 ◼   ► I had to assume that there was quicksand

00:09:13 ◼   ► out there I just didn't know about and

00:09:14 ◼   ► also people Gorillaz it's so well about

00:09:16 ◼   ► that was not true i expected that though

00:09:19 ◼   ► and-and-and birthday party clowns oh I

00:09:22 ◼   ► still never met anybody who actually

00:09:23 ◼   ► looks forward to meeting a cloud

00:09:25 ◼   ► no but we were going to believe your

00:09:27 ◼   ► soul to build good John we were led to

00:09:28 ◼   ► believe that there was a clown culture

00:09:30 ◼   ► out there that somebody like and I've

00:09:31 ◼   ► never met anybody who wasn't a clown who

00:09:35 ◼   ► actually like the clown see I don't mind

00:09:36 ◼   ► clowns but I had a traumatic clown

00:09:38 ◼   ► experience as a child of God but i'm

00:09:40 ◼   ► wondering how quick stand fits into the

00:09:43 ◼   ► Bermuda Triangle a Bigfoot Loch Ness

00:09:49 ◼   ► monster sure that the in search of era

00:09:52 ◼   ► yeah like what how did quick same factor

00:09:54 ◼   ► into that that's so interesting it seems

00:09:56 ◼   ► it seems contemporaneous what you're all

00:09:58 ◼   ► so you're telling this like there was

00:09:59 ◼   ► this period where there has to be a

00:10:01 ◼   ► reason why this was and maybe it was

00:10:03 ◼   ► like post hippie like free new-age

00:10:06 ◼   ► America was very interested in all kinds

00:10:09 ◼   ► of like what do concepts about remember

00:10:11 ◼   ► there's that period even before in

00:10:13 ◼   ► search of there was that time life set

00:10:15 ◼   ► of books but there's all this too

00:10:16 ◼   ► interesting aliens about the you know

00:10:19 ◼   ► the ETA is coming to visit us

00:10:20 ◼   ► sure secret Nazi weapons shore

00:10:23 ◼   ► underground or underwater kingdoms you

00:10:26 ◼   ► got to get the Sasquatch yep right at

00:10:29 ◼   ► the Bigfoot Loch Ness monster it was

00:10:31 ◼   ► everywhere I think this is part of the

00:10:33 ◼   ► appeal now that we're talking about it

00:10:35 ◼   ► of the original Indiana Jones movie

00:10:37 ◼   ► oh remember we all went into that he's

00:10:39 ◼   ► got a lot of those elements yeah and

00:10:41 ◼   ► where

00:10:41 ◼   ► we were asked as ten-year-old kids 12

00:10:44 ◼   ► year old kids we were primed to think

00:10:47 ◼   ► that there were little you know little

00:10:49 ◼   ► secret Mayan temples full of gold idols

00:10:52 ◼   ► and and secret Nazi weapons in Nazi

00:10:56 ◼   ► weapons you've also got sort of like a

00:10:58 ◼   ► like the whole like religious cult

00:11:01 ◼   ► supernatural component parties into the

00:11:03 ◼   ► Nazis yes it's all it's all baked into

00:11:07 ◼   ► the Bermuda Triangle scene now and they

00:11:10 ◼   ► had snakes in that I don't remember

00:11:12 ◼   ► there being quicksand but also you know

00:11:15 ◼   ► quicksand is also a fetish there are

00:11:16 ◼   ► quicksand fetishists really there are

00:11:19 ◼   ► people who think it's kinda it's a sexy

00:11:21 ◼   ► thing for some people

00:11:22 ◼   ► I get that I get that I grew up with

00:11:25 ◼   ► enough for something on TV and you're

00:11:26 ◼   ► gonna want to masturbate to it

00:11:27 ◼   ► eventually

00:11:28 ◼   ► quicksand figures prominently in the

00:11:29 ◼   ► princess bride in the princess bride

00:12:54 ◼   ► captains because it's the only way they

00:12:56 ◼   ► can on the water ya got the water get up

00:12:58 ◼   ► onto a boat and your people dry out

00:13:02 ◼   ► islands there and they they're all

00:13:04 ◼   ► Abbott sailors but this guy's Canadians

00:13:07 ◼   ► oh ok i mean the kid obviously the

00:13:14 ◼   ► yeah but don't have any boats right one

00:13:17 ◼   ► category well this is no you got to get

00:13:19 ◼   ► that area on the east coast where they

00:13:20 ◼   ► got a boat almost like there's no boats

00:13:22 ◼   ► but you don't have sufficient votes to

00:13:24 ◼   ► sellers not enough but I mean is there

00:13:26 ◼   ► like a large amount of Navy I in say

00:13:29 ◼   ► like that like whether we get the

00:13:31 ◼   ► saskatoon is a place in Canada but

00:13:33 ◼   ► there's no Navy there you get the Navy

00:13:35 ◼   ► in Toronto I you're not gonna have a lot

00:13:41 ◼   ► heroin you haven't yeah you'd have

00:13:43 ◼   ► thought the old heroin maybe but you

00:13:45 ◼   ► know candy and Canada's Navy is very

00:13:48 ◼   ► important because Canada needs to

00:13:50 ◼   ► protect its Arctic sea ways

00:13:52 ◼   ► Oh like way up there old boy that's that

00:13:55 ◼   ► that is a gig I would not want

00:13:57 ◼   ► well yeah except see this is the thing

00:13:59 ◼   ► about the measure for the quicksand is

00:14:01 ◼   ► probably not a lot of quicksand when you

00:14:02 ◼   ► got that no don't know what's up there

00:14:03 ◼   ► because it has frozen over quicksand

00:14:05 ◼   ► well but that's the ice recedes there

00:14:07 ◼   ► might be there might be a a lien a

00:14:10 ◼   ► civilization that mean that's where

00:14:12 ◼   ► you're going to find it

00:14:12 ◼   ► Bermuda triangles yes a big foots quick

00:14:15 ◼   ► ice quick guys

00:14:17 ◼   ► quicksand Mayan temples it could all be

00:14:20 ◼   ► up there so not a lot of territory

00:14:23 ◼   ► there's a lot you know I think the

00:14:24 ◼   ► coastline of canada is like the longest

00:14:27 ◼   ► coastline in the world or something like

00:14:28 ◼   ► that because it just is all crazy up

00:14:30 ◼   ► there but as the chasm and abroad

00:14:33 ◼   ► well also yeah no true Scotsman but the

00:14:37 ◼   ► but all the nations of the world are now

00:14:38 ◼   ► trying to scoot in and out of these

00:14:41 ◼   ► canadian areas because the sea ice has

00:14:46 ◼   ► receded and there's oil up there and so

00:14:48 ◼   ► Canada's got a whole Navy that's all

00:14:49 ◼   ► worried about that they're not worried

00:14:53 ◼   ► about pot smuggling anymore because it's

00:14:55 ◼   ► all coming from Canada

00:14:57 ◼   ► anyway so this guy's for me a Winnipeg

00:15:01 ◼   ► and here's the here's the rub are you

00:16:06 ◼   ► Middle East is so unevenly defined well

00:16:08 ◼   ► I didn't bring it up here but in any

00:16:10 ◼   ► case this is so great we round out the

00:16:13 ◼   ► guy from Star track is on his boat

00:16:14 ◼   ► that's right and on the first thing he

00:16:17 ◼   ► says when we walked onto the bridges he

00:16:19 ◼   ► points to his captain's cheerios we had

00:16:21 ◼   ► that modeled off of the enterprise and

00:16:24 ◼   ► we all you know get courtesy chuckle

00:16:25 ◼   ► he's super nice guy super nice captain

00:16:28 ◼   ► he walks around as I say wills phone

00:16:31 ◼   ► periodically he would get a text and it

00:16:33 ◼   ► would make the communicator sound and

00:16:35 ◼   ► the captain would like literally giggle

00:16:37 ◼   ► what you mean this guy's like 280 pounds

00:16:41 ◼   ► like sea captain all of his all of his

00:16:43 ◼   ► staff

00:16:44 ◼   ► I'm talking about like hundreds of

00:16:45 ◼   ► sailors when he walks by they all cower

00:16:48 ◼   ► I mean not because then I'm sure not

00:16:51 ◼   ► because he's mean but because the it's

00:16:53 ◼   ► the law of the sea right he's the

00:16:55 ◼   ► captain

00:16:55 ◼   ► that's a pretty big deal on a boat you

00:16:57 ◼   ► don't step onto the bridge unless you've

00:16:59 ◼   ► you know unless you like it's his boat

00:17:01 ◼   ► it's his boat that's how that's how

00:17:04 ◼   ► captioning works it's a pretty big deal

00:17:05 ◼   ► i think yeah there was a there was a

00:17:07 ◼   ► there's a button in in some of the

00:17:09 ◼   ► public bathrooms it says you know in in

00:17:11 ◼   ► better emergency push this button but

00:17:13 ◼   ► don't push this button frivolously

00:17:14 ◼   ► because it rings on the bridge but we

00:17:17 ◼   ► will come rescue you and we will come

00:17:19 ◼   ► rescue you

00:17:20 ◼   ► hard as a former productivity expert

00:17:22 ◼   ► have to tell you that is that is a

00:17:23 ◼   ► category terrible idea

00:17:25 ◼   ► well it's not like the captain's gonna

00:17:26 ◼   ► come but it was just a moment just one

00:17:28 ◼   ► song someone in the bathroom having a

00:17:30 ◼   ► problem clean with an emergency but it's

00:17:32 ◼   ► like it's their way of saying like if

00:17:35 ◼   ► you're having an emergency it had better

00:17:36 ◼   ► fucking be an emergency right we're

00:17:39 ◼   ► gonna send sailors here but so many were

00:17:41 ◼   ► walking around the bridge and and you

00:17:45 ◼   ► know whenever people are there's not a

00:17:46 ◼   ► very small group of us and people are

00:17:48 ◼   ► asking and polite questions like what is

00:17:50 ◼   ► this knob do and what's the you know

00:17:53 ◼   ► what are what's this knob do like

00:17:55 ◼   ► nobody's got nobody knows what to say to

00:18:01 ◼   ► the weirdest thing you've ever seen come

00:18:02 ◼   ► out of the sea and he says I saw sunfish

00:18:07 ◼   ► which is an enormous fish are perfectly

00:18:12 ◼   ► round fish that floats on the top of the

00:18:14 ◼   ► floats on the surface of the sea and

00:18:18 ◼   ► they're very rare nobody ever sees them

00:18:21 ◼   ► wow I saw one and I didn't know what it

00:18:23 ◼   ► was this is not a cryptozoological thing

00:18:24 ◼   ► this is like that this has been

00:18:26 ◼   ► legitimated by schools and stuff so he

00:18:28 ◼   ► has seen one and it is this is guys

00:18:30 ◼   ► spent 50 years on the sea or ever since

00:18:33 ◼   ► I've seen a sunfish and I didn't know

00:18:35 ◼   ► what it was a freak me out because its

00:18:37 ◼   ► enormous right it's the size of a

00:18:38 ◼   ► trampoline or something right and then

00:18:41 ◼   ► he said I saw second one and I knew what

00:18:43 ◼   ► it was by that point and I marveled at

00:18:46 ◼   ► it was like okay weird creature of the

00:18:49 ◼   ► deep and then I said I mean all these

00:18:52 ◼   ► years staring out of the sea

00:18:53 ◼   ► have you ever seen UFOs

00:18:56 ◼   ► just just like that without any kind of

00:18:57 ◼   ► like just I was just like all right sci

00:19:00 ◼   ► fi star trek captain let's get down to

00:19:02 ◼   ► the nitty-gritty you are standing on

00:19:04 ◼   ► this bridge staring out at the open sea

00:19:06 ◼   ► for years at a time

00:19:09 ◼   ► let's hear UFO shit and at that moment

00:19:12 ◼   ► all of his crew like all the junior

00:19:16 ◼   ► officers were but they all stare at the

00:19:18 ◼   ► shoes I was like oh the captain says

00:19:22 ◼   ► I've seen lights over the Bahamas that

00:19:27 ◼   ► behaved unlike a ship or plane

00:19:31 ◼   ► mmm unexplained lights over the Bahamas

00:19:34 ◼   ► you must when you're in like coming up

00:19:36 ◼   ► in in whatever the Navy is in Canada you

00:19:39 ◼   ► you must see all you must have so many

00:19:41 ◼   ► hours you spend visually identifying

00:19:43 ◼   ► what something is or what something

00:19:44 ◼   ► could be you must get really good at

00:19:46 ◼   ► that over its all you do I mean there

00:19:48 ◼   ► were there were guys you would know you

00:19:49 ◼   ► would know it would be like all day long

00:19:50 ◼   ► you're inspecting hot dogs and selling

00:19:52 ◼   ► there's a poodle there and you go I

00:19:53 ◼   ► definitely know that this does not

00:19:54 ◼   ► belong here

00:19:55 ◼   ► yeah these guys are standing on this up

00:19:58 ◼   ► with this like 200 degree view looking

00:20:02 ◼   ► out onto a perfectly flat ocean and you

00:20:05 ◼   ► can see to the horizon in every

00:20:07 ◼   ► direction and that's all they do they

00:20:08 ◼   ► just sit there and stare out and

00:20:10 ◼   ► everyone smile they raise some

00:20:11 ◼   ► binoculars to their eyes and they look

00:20:13 ◼   ► out and see I don't know what flotsam

00:20:15 ◼   ► jetsam huh

00:20:17 ◼   ► and so when a sea captain tells me

00:20:19 ◼   ► unexplained lights over the Bahamas and

00:20:21 ◼   ► he says unlike a ship or a plane so that

00:20:24 ◼   ► implies that they're kinda down in the

00:20:25 ◼   ► ship area but they're not acting like a

00:20:28 ◼   ► ship was like okay cat okay see Captain

00:20:32 ◼   ► that's a good story and then I said

00:20:35 ◼   ► what's the taller I said Jesse a rogue

00:20:37 ◼   ► wave and he said I've talked two

00:20:40 ◼   ► captains that have encountered rogue

00:20:41 ◼   ► waves but I've never seen one so that

00:20:44 ◼   ► was interesting that's in a way out of

00:20:45 ◼   ► nowhere that's probably high massive

00:20:48 ◼   ► wave out of nowhere just sitting on a

00:20:49 ◼   ► calm sea and then all of a sudden whoa

00:20:51 ◼   ► super wave and the last question he said

00:20:54 ◼   ► was what's that what's the tallest see

00:21:09 ◼   ► during the perfect storm the outer most

00:21:14 ◼   ► famous one for the movie the famous

00:21:16 ◼   ► perfect storm and he said the bridge on

00:21:19 ◼   ► that ship was 50 feet off the sea and he

00:21:23 ◼   ► said I had to lean forward and look out

00:21:26 ◼   ► look up out the window to see the crests

00:21:29 ◼   ► of the waves my god I was like that's a

00:21:32 ◼   ► good story sea captain I'm I'm really

00:21:35 ◼   ► warming up to you i want to sit here on

00:21:37 ◼   ► the bridge and ask you more questions

00:21:38 ◼   ► but then they show up they shuffled this

00:21:42 ◼   ► away

00:21:43 ◼   ► shuffle shuffle the rest of us away but

00:21:45 ◼   ► we'll wait and stayed behind to talk

00:21:46 ◼   ► about the left

00:21:48 ◼   ► I i stayed in the door to watch their

00:21:50 ◼   ► exchange and the captain was like it was

00:21:52 ◼   ► like to be in stand by me when he was

00:21:54 ◼   ► just super fan i love that it was like

00:22:17 ◼   ► we were sailing through the Bermuda

00:22:19 ◼   ► Triangle while I conjured up a alien

00:22:23 ◼   ► stories from the sea captain and I swear

00:22:38 ◼   ► be anything that he doesn't control i

00:22:41 ◼   ► can think of a lot of release a handful

00:22:42 ◼   ► of reasons I mean what with other first

00:22:45 ◼   ► reason if this is a movie was that it

00:22:47 ◼   ► was something everybody saw and agreed

00:24:21 ◼   ► wait a minute you brought your family oh

00:24:24 ◼   ► absolutely haha the whole gang

00:24:30 ◼   ► well you know I i have my room which is

00:24:33 ◼   ► provided for me by the choco cruise

00:24:38 ◼   ► where is much more than they all have

00:24:41 ◼   ► cabins right no kinds for normal people

00:24:44 ◼   ► are normal you bring the entire

00:24:45 ◼   ► complement of women in your life i did I

00:24:47 ◼   ► got their break every woman i could

00:24:57 ◼   ► i could think of that would be a hell of

00:25:00 ◼   ► a weird cruise but I that spreads the

00:25:03 ◼   ► stuff of nightmares look oh my god every

00:25:06 ◼   ► single it says it's a bespoke cruise

00:25:08 ◼   ► where every single person on there is a

00:25:09 ◼   ► woman that you've wronged

00:25:11 ◼   ► yeah right i mean i-i depending if there

00:25:14 ◼   ► was a code of conduct that everybody had

00:25:16 ◼   ► to agree to before we got on the boat

00:25:18 ◼   ► maybe it could be fun cruise but if I

00:25:21 ◼   ► but I get the feeling knowing the people

00:25:23 ◼   ► that I've known they would all agree to

00:25:25 ◼   ► the code of conduct with no intention of

00:25:27 ◼   ► polling it absolutely not i would not

00:25:29 ◼   ► sure and then we can you imagine the

00:25:30 ◼   ► kind of breakout receptions that they're

00:25:33 ◼   ► having it could be regional it could be

00:25:35 ◼   ► a certain time

00:25:36 ◼   ► I'm it could be a certain industry there

00:25:38 ◼   ► there might just be people that you know

00:25:40 ◼   ► work to pursue can they would have a

00:25:41 ◼   ► meeting over here you know well I mean

00:25:43 ◼   ► uh Lido deck on the leader or the ones

00:25:45 ◼   ► that would bump into each other on the

00:25:46 ◼   ► deck and go oh my god you look exactly

00:25:48 ◼   ► like me what does that say oh my god

00:25:51 ◼   ► he'd be like no no totally coincidence

00:27:58 ◼   ► clothing-optional cruise because I know

00:28:00 ◼   ► they're at least a hundred fifty of them

00:28:02 ◼   ► that would take off all their clothes

00:28:04 ◼   ► the moment they got on the boat we think

00:28:06 ◼   ► so

00:28:06 ◼   ► oh yeah well it's part of the you know

00:28:08 ◼   ► it's part of the sex positivity of of

00:29:04 ◼   ► i think we've got I think we have we've

00:29:06 ◼   ► covered that now we've discussed it sort

00:29:08 ◼   ► of hope someone openly with everybody

00:29:10 ◼   ► and said like it's family cruise you be

00:29:13 ◼   ► making in your room but you always could

00:29:15 ◼   ► have done that family cruise i bring my

00:29:17 ◼   ► family as previously noted i'm not sure

00:29:25 ◼   ► that's a terrible word that gets used to

00:29:27 ◼   ► mean too many different things by

00:29:29 ◼   ► I I you could bring kids on that I don't

00:29:33 ◼   ► know if it's the best thing but you know

00:29:35 ◼   ► and it's interesting because what that

00:29:37 ◼   ► cruise seems to have become over the

00:29:39 ◼   ► years is very much its own thing to wear

00:29:41 ◼   ► it seems like an actual also credit

00:29:45 ◼   ► especially with Paul goes through with

00:29:47 ◼   ► the work that he does on that I mean I

00:29:53 ◼   ► everybody's happy as they can be made is

00:29:56 ◼   ► staggering but it really

00:29:57 ◼   ► seems like it's become something how do

00:30:01 ◼   ► definitely still the Joker cruise right

00:30:02 ◼   ► but it's kind of it's really about the

00:30:05 ◼   ► folks who go on it now and Johnson

00:30:07 ◼   ► doesn't really need to be there for it

00:30:09 ◼   ► to be the Joe Cruz I've been saying for

00:39:37 ◼   ► you know we're physically she perfectly

00:39:39 ◼   ► embodies what that movie needed to be

00:39:42 ◼   ► without her

00:39:43 ◼   ► yep yeah she's the fan on the screen and

00:39:45 ◼   ► it was perfect but i had had an

00:39:47 ◼   ► interesting insight you know into the

00:39:49 ◼   ► film you know III I hesitated to

00:39:53 ◼   ► criticize the star wars movie at all

00:39:54 ◼   ► because you know as much as I like it's

00:39:57 ◼   ► like good reasons to not do that

00:40:00 ◼   ► yeah as much as I like getting letters I

00:40:02 ◼   ► i did not want to get any letters about

00:40:04 ◼   ► this but i but I was this this was one

00:40:06 ◼   ► of those things as i was walking I was

00:40:08 ◼   ► walking along and all of a sudden like

00:40:10 ◼   ► an acorn fell on my head and I said wait

00:40:13 ◼   ► a minute why didn't they do it that way

00:40:18 ◼   ► you know that feeling

00:40:19 ◼   ► who when you're like we have sure why

00:40:22 ◼   ► didn't they do it that way i feel that

00:40:23 ◼   ► way about lots of things what was in

00:40:24 ◼   ► this case in this case the hand solo son

00:40:28 ◼   ► yeah right yeah not a fan whose name is

00:40:32 ◼   ► a paco rabanne or whatever Allah Alonso

00:40:39 ◼   ► it's funnier if I don't laugh but that's

00:40:41 ◼   ► the perfect alonzo morningstar which is

00:40:44 ◼   ► your name his name is a rilo kiley yeah

00:40:47 ◼   ► friedrich von solution straße it um his

00:40:51 ◼   ► first appearance in the film is in his

00:40:54 ◼   ► guys right is his guys it's terrible

00:40:57 ◼   ► error terrible Darth warmth or yes or be

00:41:01 ◼   ► worse mark or whatever and you see him

00:41:04 ◼   ► and he appears and you're like okay

00:41:05 ◼   ► is the new bad guy who and then as the

00:41:08 ◼   ► as the film progresses you see that he

00:41:11 ◼   ► is not really in his full he's not fully

00:41:16 ◼   ► in his in his he's not and he's not as

00:41:19 ◼   ► full pokeyman yet

00:41:21 ◼   ► yeah right like when when Darth Vader

00:41:23 ◼   ► and the generals the high-ranking

00:41:26 ◼   ► soldiers have encounters you see that

00:41:28 ◼   ► they are terrified of him who but when

00:41:30 ◼   ► they have no even though we were so

00:41:31 ◼   ► effective in this movie's you understand

00:41:33 ◼   ► that Darth Vader has a boss but still

00:41:35 ◼   ► Darth Vader that everybody scared of

00:41:36 ◼   ► everybody scared of Darth and you're not

00:41:38 ◼   ► sure what his rank is right he's kinda

00:41:41 ◼   ► feels like not a row but not but he's

00:41:43 ◼   ► he's almost like a consultant like he's

00:41:45 ◼   ► been brought in to make sure you rebuild

00:41:47 ◼   ► this fucking death star and this is this

00:41:49 ◼   ► needs to happen

00:41:49 ◼   ► yeah right i mean it and I do not alter

00:41:52 ◼   ► it further in in the way in a way that

00:41:55 ◼   ► he is like he is he's a mini Emperor

00:41:58 ◼   ► right but in the new Star Wars movie The

00:42:01 ◼   ► the paco rabanne character does not have

00:42:05 ◼   ► very much authority right the general is

00:42:07 ◼   ► openly contemptuous of him and he

00:42:10 ◼   ► doesn't really have a very good report

00:42:11 ◼   ► but he's in this like amazing gas mask

00:42:14 ◼   ► costume

00:42:16 ◼   ► yeah I like this place so that was cool

00:42:17 ◼   ► but then as the as the film unfolds the

00:42:21 ◼   ► mask comes off and you see that he's

00:42:23 ◼   ► just sort of a callow male model

00:42:25 ◼   ► uh-huh it's not I mean it was very clear

00:42:28 ◼   ► why Darth Vader wore the mask because he

00:42:30 ◼   ► was hideous least disfigure yeah

00:42:32 ◼   ► anything before you learned all the you

00:42:34 ◼   ► know reckon details of it like you could

00:42:36 ◼   ► tell that he was he was he was messed up

00:42:38 ◼   ► in a number of ways

00:42:39 ◼   ► yeah imagine he needed that to live

00:42:41 ◼   ► probably the mask was breathing for him

00:42:43 ◼   ► and the stormtroopers wore masks because

00:42:44 ◼   ► it wasn't clear whether or not they were

00:42:46 ◼   ► robots at first right totally right for

00:42:49 ◼   ► the longest time we thought they were

00:42:51 ◼   ► robots and then it turned out they were

00:42:52 ◼   ► clones

00:42:53 ◼   ► I mean they were there they were

00:42:54 ◼   ► basically they were they were like nazis

00:42:56 ◼   ► in world war two movie

00:42:57 ◼   ► yeah just like generic people to be shot

00:42:59 ◼   ► but as the film unfolds then the the the

00:43:04 ◼   ► paco rabanne character uses his mask

00:43:07 ◼   ► less and less until he just seems like a

00:43:10 ◼   ► teenager running around very petulant

00:43:13 ◼   ► he's always wearing a bandana

00:43:15 ◼   ► it's like he just wears when he feels

00:43:17 ◼   ► like it and and it's not

00:43:19 ◼   ► explain what the purpose of it is except

00:43:21 ◼   ► that it's just an affectation it's just

00:43:23 ◼   ► like it's just like a have accepted

00:43:24 ◼   ► covers his face

00:43:26 ◼   ► why didn't they start the movie with him

00:43:30 ◼   ► without his mask and that's why nobody

00:43:34 ◼   ► respects him yet he's walking around in

00:43:36 ◼   ► a cape he's obviously a Jedi but he's it

00:43:39 ◼   ► using any single teacher at the very

00:43:41 ◼   ► least four cents and if we don't meet me

00:43:43 ◼   ► tonight Jennifer sorry I'm sorry I'm

00:43:44 ◼   ► sorry I'm sorry I can't believe

00:43:45 ◼   ► registered I'm so sorry

00:43:46 ◼   ► it's no it's quite all right cutting

00:43:47 ◼   ► that out on my own but there's actually

00:43:49 ◼   ► you about Star Wars there's a there's a

00:43:52 ◼   ► reason that he's there and that's

00:43:53 ◼   ► because he has horsepower who write and

00:43:56 ◼   ► but the generals are contemptuous of him

00:43:58 ◼   ► because he can't quite lift them off the

00:44:00 ◼   ► ground and make them choke yet right so

00:44:03 ◼   ► so he's it's some kind of thing where he

00:44:06 ◼   ► is being groomed by the new emperor

00:44:09 ◼   ► right but he's still a kind of a callow

00:44:11 ◼   ► teenager and that's why nobody takes him

00:44:13 ◼   ► seriously and then over the course of

00:44:15 ◼   ► the film we in he inherits the helmet

00:44:20 ◼   ► because something I get it right

00:44:22 ◼   ► why why do it the the reverse way where

00:44:24 ◼   ► we're set up to think like all this guy

00:44:26 ◼   ► looks mean he's gonna be mean and then

00:44:28 ◼   ► over the course the time were already

00:44:30 ◼   ► trying to were already trying to buy the

00:44:33 ◼   ► end of the first film we're already in

00:44:36 ◼   ► this in this mode of like is he going to

00:44:39 ◼   ► be as he savable is he going to be

00:44:41 ◼   ► rescuing ball we didn't even set him up

00:44:43 ◼   ► as like as like a guy who's bitterness

00:44:47 ◼   ► turns him to the dark side increasingly

00:44:50 ◼   ► who we already its he's already like oh

00:44:54 ◼   ► he doesn't know whether it's bad or not

00:44:56 ◼   ► I just feel like come on

00:44:58 ◼   ► well I said something a lot of people

00:45:00 ◼   ► have said about a lot of things related

00:45:02 ◼   ► to star wars that i happen to agree with

00:45:04 ◼   ► and we'll make the short because I just

00:45:05 ◼   ► I can't handle the email but one of the

00:45:08 ◼   ► great things about science something

00:45:10 ◼   ► Syracuse and I talked about in terms of

00:45:11 ◼   ► like why is how it's like fury fury road

00:45:13 ◼   ► in some ways the first Star Wars very

00:45:15 ◼   ► little is done to explain what

00:45:18 ◼   ► everything means through is so much just

00:45:21 ◼   ► pure action and exposition just based on

00:45:23 ◼   ► what you're looking at right now that

00:45:25 ◼   ► the exposition is that like there's

00:45:26 ◼   ► these robots sorry that's just always

00:45:28 ◼   ► that's all we have time to explain why

00:45:29 ◼   ► there's so much story to get through

00:45:30 ◼   ► here right

00:45:31 ◼   ► right then like you know and you know

00:45:32 ◼   ► there's all kinds of things that people

00:45:33 ◼   ► spent years wondering about and so forth

00:45:35 ◼   ► but like what you're describing here we

00:45:37 ◼   ► didn't understand what Darth Vader was

00:45:41 ◼   ► or how he was and we certainly don't

00:45:43 ◼   ► understand what the force was other than

00:45:44 ◼   ► there was a lot of hand waving about it

00:45:46 ◼   ► some kind of cosmic force but we didn't

00:45:47 ◼   ► know how powerful Darth Vader could be

00:45:49 ◼   ► because we need how he can you know what

00:45:52 ◼   ► his weaknesses work for that matter all

00:45:53 ◼   ► we saw was that like oh my god you do

00:45:55 ◼   ► not want to tangle with this guy is

00:45:56 ◼   ► obviously a very scary i mean you can

00:45:58 ◼   ► choke you

00:45:58 ◼   ► you know right right but like you know

00:46:00 ◼   ► the less we knew the more interesting he

00:46:02 ◼   ► was one maybe don't I mean do you

00:46:05 ◼   ► remember feeling like Darth Vader might

00:46:06 ◼   ► have been a robot a magic robot

00:46:08 ◼   ► absolutely very special on the first

00:46:10 ◼   ► viewing like it seemed it

00:46:11 ◼   ► yeah I always assumed the stormtroopers

00:46:14 ◼   ► just because of their movements were

00:46:15 ◼   ► whatever the galaxy far away version of

00:46:18 ◼   ► human was oh you knew that there were

00:46:20 ◼   ► humans inside the Stormtrooper right

00:46:22 ◼   ► well they didn't move like robots if

00:46:24 ◼   ► they want to Telegraph that the robots

00:46:25 ◼   ► it seems they would have handled that

00:46:26 ◼   ► differently so Cylons were post first

00:46:30 ◼   ► Star Wars yes because Cylons were

00:46:33 ◼   ► clearly robot sounds were clearly let's

00:46:36 ◼   ► say a ripoff of Stormtroopers but that

00:46:38 ◼   ► who were definitely robots

00:46:40 ◼   ► yeah right and i think i think that i

00:46:42 ◼   ► was i was coming at it from more of a

00:46:44 ◼   ► like storm troopers were proto Cylons I

00:46:49 ◼   ► see because because again what do they

00:46:53 ◼   ► need to ask for masks are uncomfortable

00:46:56 ◼   ► yeah oh and and it's never it's never

00:46:58 ◼   ► specified like to the masks let them see

00:47:01 ◼   ► a terminator style are the are the

00:47:05 ◼   ► eyepieces giving them additional

00:47:06 ◼   ► information we know we didn't know it

00:47:09 ◼   ► doesn't let them breathe on foreign

00:47:12 ◼   ► planets where there is an oxygen no

00:47:15 ◼   ► don't no idea no idea i love target what

00:47:19 ◼   ► we end up getting we got a lot of good

00:47:20 ◼   ► stuff we've got some great clothes we

00:47:22 ◼   ► did something we don't usually do which

00:47:23 ◼   ► we got her got some branded franchise

00:47:26 ◼   ► clothing for a property that's not even

00:47:28 ◼   ► out yet but I'm all I can already tell

00:47:30 ◼   ► we're going to like it so because you

00:47:31 ◼   ► want to know you want to know what just

00:47:32 ◼   ► happened to me

00:47:33 ◼   ► no one well I was walking across the

00:47:35 ◼   ► room and I accidentally unplugged my

00:47:37 ◼   ► headphones

00:47:40 ◼   ► completely changed the topic code area

00:47:44 ◼   ► all fast that almost never happens like

00:47:46 ◼   ► that and I didn't hear the transition

00:47:48 ◼   ► right so I was like coming back in plug

00:47:50 ◼   ► in my headphones back it's alright says

00:47:52 ◼   ► utopia

00:48:23 ◼   ► i know that you you have to suffer in

00:48:26 ◼   ► silence i know for example that your

00:48:27 ◼   ► head sometimes is allergic to itself my

00:48:29 ◼   ► head and face are both allergic to

00:48:31 ◼   ► themselves

00:48:32 ◼   ► okay and I cannot abide any kind of real

00:48:36 ◼   ► perfume and I cannot use normal soap if

00:48:43 ◼   ► I wash my clothes in typical normal

00:48:49 ◼   ► ba complete body heat rash that

00:48:54 ◼   ► sometimes swells my skin up so that it

00:48:57 ◼   ► is like an inch puffier than it normally

00:49:00 ◼   ► is which is that's miserable it is awful

00:49:04 ◼   ► it's terrible if somebody else washes my

00:49:06 ◼   ► clothes I basically have to wash them

00:49:12 ◼   ► get them in everywhere the close touch

00:49:14 ◼   ► my skin i will get this awful heat rash

00:49:17 ◼   ► that that is like swollen and burns and

00:49:45 ◼   ► shipping container hooray for me and

00:49:48 ◼   ► then after children play into the stairs

00:49:50 ◼   ► boob after a while I realized that it

00:49:52 ◼   ► was they were just taking pictures of

00:49:54 ◼   ► the same house from different angles it

00:49:56 ◼   ► see it took me two years to figure that

00:49:57 ◼   ► out you know I was a male cyclist door

00:49:59 ◼   ► looks familiar that's a really nice deck

00:50:01 ◼   ► wait a minute wait a minute why is that

00:50:26 ◼   ► are crying the day and no over here we

00:50:29 ◼   ► have our our mud palace and then those

00:50:32 ◼   ► are real things that she's a documentary

00:50:34 ◼   ► filmmaker and she's kind of videographer

00:51:02 ◼   ► barbed-wire fence to the dumpster

00:51:04 ◼   ► outside of a little suction facility

00:51:06 ◼   ► nice and they get some bags of human fat

00:51:09 ◼   ► and then they render it with lie and

00:51:11 ◼   ► that is what cheer free is so it doesn't

00:51:14 ◼   ► your clothes don't smell like any kind

00:51:15 ◼   ► of perfume and your free get some skin

00:51:31 ◼   ► might take a little bit of human skin to

00:51:33 ◼   ► make your skin not be bothered

00:51:34 ◼   ► interesting but it's at such a micro

00:51:37 ◼   ► dose that it literally can't do anything

00:51:38 ◼   ► useful

00:51:39 ◼   ► maybe it's micro dosing me with LSD and

00:51:41 ◼   ► I'm just don't realize that my skin is

00:51:42 ◼   ► so maybe you're in your maybe your

00:51:44 ◼   ► friend Dick Cheney's bunker I wow I

00:59:11 ◼   ► enough said about that except to say

00:59:13 ◼   ► that it is very interesting very

00:59:14 ◼   ► complicated i actually I came across an

00:59:16 ◼   ► interesting thing on the reddit or

00:59:19 ◼   ► somebody said you know you think about

00:59:21 ◼   ► what people talk about especially what

00:59:23 ◼   ► has come to but some people have called

00:59:24 ◼   ► paranoid schizophrenia but some kind of

00:59:27 ◼   ► like an effective thing but you know

00:59:28 ◼   ► your things like people saying they

00:59:30 ◼   ► think their voices right they think the

00:59:32 ◼   ► queen is talking to them that they hear

00:59:34 ◼   ► voices on the radio

00:59:35 ◼   ► addressing them there are teams you know

00:59:38 ◼   ► the there are actually people who do

00:59:40 ◼   ► line hats with aluminum foil because

00:59:42 ◼   ► they don't want thoughts and say its

00:59:44 ◼   ► order to remove all these things that

00:59:45 ◼   ► the sad part of this is the jokes that

00:59:47 ◼   ► we make about this is that the horrible

00:59:49 ◼   ► truth is that there are people that like

00:59:51 ◼   ► believe that more than anything they

00:59:52 ◼   ► believe in the entire world right and it

00:59:54 ◼   ► is really interesting but there was i

00:59:56 ◼   ► just i have a piece and i have read the

00:59:57 ◼   ► whole thing yet but somebody's asking

00:59:59 ◼   ► basically

00:59:59 ◼   ► basically

01:00:00 ◼   ► with what we now call schizophrenia with

01:00:02 ◼   ► those particular symptoms

01:00:04 ◼   ► what did people imagined before the age

01:00:07 ◼   ► of electricity like you're saying

01:00:10 ◼   ► there's so much thought now about like

01:00:11 ◼   ► there are raised that are doing this

01:00:12 ◼   ► there are ways of making you sexy see

01:00:15 ◼   ► certain images insert and remove

01:00:16 ◼   ► thoughts like the all lot of those in rh

01:00:19 ◼   ► come down to electricity

01:00:20 ◼   ► you know what I mean yeah like what

01:00:21 ◼   ► people uh if you like hallucinate before

01:00:25 ◼   ► we had electricity

01:00:26 ◼   ► well you know they're spiritualism was a

01:00:29 ◼   ► big was a big thing right there is a

01:00:31 ◼   ► part of the parent schizophrenia is this

01:00:33 ◼   ► i don't even know that's exactly the

01:00:34 ◼   ► correct term forgive me I don't be i'm

01:00:36 ◼   ► really trying not to be insensitive

01:00:37 ◼   ► about this cuz you know it's it's close

01:00:39 ◼   ► to home but I it's interesting because I

01:00:42 ◼   ► a lot of it does involve the parent part

01:00:45 ◼   ► of the schizophrenia is that there there

01:00:47 ◼   ► it's this very very strong belief

01:00:49 ◼   ► essentially that somebody's fucking with

01:00:51 ◼   ► you right and that the conflict the

01:00:53 ◼   ► complexity of your the way your mind is

01:00:54 ◼   ► working is because something is

01:00:56 ◼   ► happening

01:00:57 ◼   ► well sure but wouldn't that just be

01:00:58 ◼   ► Damon's right i mean before before it

01:01:01 ◼   ► was the man like you bewitched or

01:01:03 ◼   ► something yeah right i mean i don't

01:01:05 ◼   ► think that there's anything specific to

01:01:07 ◼   ► it being like other humans who are

01:01:12 ◼   ► messing with you except that in the

01:01:14 ◼   ► modern age that seems a lot more

01:01:16 ◼   ► plausible been then

01:01:18 ◼   ► Damon's right over people using like the

01:01:23 ◼   ► sorcery right I guess sorcery would

01:01:25 ◼   ► probably okay yeah that checks out

01:01:27 ◼   ► Jack's out and a part of it also then is

01:01:30 ◼   ► that I think the part that makes this so

01:01:32 ◼   ► interesting scary is like the part of it

01:01:34 ◼   ► is that it involves somebody who has

01:01:37 ◼   ► malicious like ill will for you and is

01:01:40 ◼   ► acting upon a person or a group is

01:01:43 ◼   ► acting upon this with you know there

01:01:45 ◼   ► they are after you and they are

01:01:46 ◼   ► organized right and that they're doing

01:01:48 ◼   ► it remotely and that they're doing it

01:01:51 ◼   ► through some means of obfuscation which

01:01:53 ◼   ► obfuscation is part of the very thing

01:01:56 ◼   ► that is messing with you so I mean like

01:01:59 ◼   ► when you I know maybe I'm being precious

01:02:00 ◼   ► about but that's super interesting you

01:02:02 ◼   ► break that down into parts can you

01:02:03 ◼   ► imagine how excruciating that must be

01:02:04 ◼   ► well it's all I believe that more than

01:02:06 ◼   ► you believe anything in the world but

01:02:07 ◼   ► it's the core of the protocols of the

01:02:09 ◼   ► Elders of Zion I mean people have always

01:02:11 ◼   ► attributed that kind

01:02:13 ◼   ► of a malicious intent to the Jews or two

01:02:18 ◼   ► I mean the Jews but and that's you know

01:02:21 ◼   ► that was a convenient the Jews were

01:02:24 ◼   ► convenient scapegoat for all that kind

01:02:26 ◼   ► of paranoia for everyone in Europe for

01:02:29 ◼   ► years and years and years decades

01:02:31 ◼   ► hundreds of years so and you still see

01:02:35 ◼   ► you still see paranoiacs everywhere

01:02:38 ◼   ► attributing all that mind control to the

01:02:42 ◼   ► bilderberg group or whatever

01:02:44 ◼   ► yeah yeah wonder how who oh it was so

01:02:47 ◼   ► would you put chem trails in that in a

01:02:49 ◼   ► pile in the reckoning

01:02:50 ◼   ► I mean the reason that I feel chemtrails

01:02:52 ◼   ► is so remarkable is that it

01:02:55 ◼   ► it's it seems much more like one of

01:03:00 ◼   ► those conspiracies that isn't founded in

01:03:03 ◼   ► an actual mental illness but is founded

01:03:07 ◼   ► in the you know the pervasive American

01:03:12 ◼   ► tendency that a tendency that the most

01:03:17 ◼   ► ignorant people are the ones that are

01:03:19 ◼   ► most certain about their beliefs right

01:03:22 ◼   ► so the people all across the country are

01:03:24 ◼   ► absolutely sure that Obama is trying to

01:03:27 ◼   ► take their guns or whatever the fuck

01:03:29 ◼   ► their current thing is right and

01:03:31 ◼   ► chemtrails are just a part of that which

01:03:33 ◼   ► is like they're so profoundly ignorant

01:03:35 ◼   ► of how things work and so supremely

01:03:37 ◼   ► confident that their interpretation or

01:03:39 ◼   ► the interpretation of the radio a shock

01:03:43 ◼   ► jock that they listen to you see this

01:03:44 ◼   ► partly as somebody who's a little bit

01:03:46 ◼   ► knowledgeable about aircraft well and

01:03:48 ◼   ► how this guy works and how governments

01:03:50 ◼   ► work and happy that you don't like like

01:03:53 ◼   ► the have you ever worked with government

01:03:55 ◼   ► you know the motivation

01:03:58 ◼   ► what would be required to have chem

01:04:01 ◼   ► trails be a project as big as they say

01:04:03 ◼   ► and to keep it all a secret it's just

01:04:08 ◼   ► hilarious and what is the benefit

01:04:10 ◼   ► I mean what would the benefit of

01:04:11 ◼   ► mind-control Pete there's so much mind

01:04:13 ◼   ► control already that's just like right

01:04:15 ◼   ► and you're just holding it in your hand

01:04:17 ◼   ► you're soaking in it right but it's

01:04:19 ◼   ► evident it's right in front of you

01:04:21 ◼   ► there's no nobody's trying to do it in

01:04:23 ◼   ► secret and there's no and nobody's

01:04:25 ◼   ► controlling it like every at

01:04:26 ◼   ► attempt that they make to exert some

01:04:28 ◼   ► sort of i mean i do believe that it is

01:04:33 ◼   ► plausible

01:04:34 ◼   ► I believe that the narrative that the

01:04:36 ◼   ► that the that there is some connection

01:04:39 ◼   ► between drugs and guns and inner-city

01:04:43 ◼   ► violence that feels like it was seeded

01:04:47 ◼   ► by you know seated in some ways

01:04:52 ◼   ► unintentionally the results were

01:04:55 ◼   ► unintentional in enough to the scale

01:04:57 ◼   ► that they were but like the way that the

01:04:59 ◼   ► CIA was drug running and paying for

01:05:02 ◼   ► Nicaragua and giving getting black

01:05:04 ◼   ► plates

01:05:05 ◼   ► well and i think is aids-like and

01:05:07 ◼   ► introducing crack as like the dudes like

01:05:10 ◼   ► don't disposable e directly to play

01:05:13 ◼   ► crack into ghettos idols reasons I don't

01:05:16 ◼   ► think they're clever enough i don't

01:05:19 ◼   ► think anyone at the CIA is clever clever

01:05:21 ◼   ► enough to orchestrate it but I to

01:05:25 ◼   ► orchestrate what happened but I do but

01:05:28 ◼   ► there's enough stuff that has been

01:05:29 ◼   ► documented and the and that narrative of

01:05:32 ◼   ► like black power was real it was having

01:05:36 ◼   ► a transformative effect and then it was

01:05:39 ◼   ► completely like wiped off the face of

01:05:43 ◼   ► the earth by this seemingly like like

01:05:48 ◼   ► blood wave of drugs that came into the

01:05:50 ◼   ► inner cities and the CIA is meanwhile

01:05:53 ◼   ► dealing drugs to fund their covert

01:05:56 ◼   ► operations just like there's just too

01:05:58 ◼   ► much going on there to dismiss it

01:06:01 ◼   ► wholeheartedly and here's here's why I

01:06:04 ◼   ► think is that I mean there was a time I

01:06:07 ◼   ► guess when there were a lot of rumors

01:06:09 ◼   ► and you know and understand like the

01:06:11 ◼   ► what we knew about what the CIA did

01:06:13 ◼   ► before the nineteen seventies was it was

01:06:15 ◼   ► more like what we know the NSA does now

01:06:16 ◼   ► which is we assume everything but who

01:06:18 ◼   ► knows but you know it was it will be

01:06:20 ◼   ► years before we learn a lot about what

01:06:21 ◼   ► the CI had done years earlier so for

01:06:23 ◼   ► example like let's say you heard a rumor

01:06:25 ◼   ► about the extent to which the CIA wanted

01:06:28 ◼   ► to disrupt humiliate and potentially

01:06:31 ◼   ► kill Fidel Castro and it's if you heard

01:06:34 ◼   ► you would hear that you might have heard

01:06:36 ◼   ► these stories that are so outlandish

01:06:37 ◼   ► never going to make his beer trying

01:06:40 ◼   ► make his beard fallout yeah like but the

01:06:42 ◼   ► thing is that apparently they did huh

01:06:45 ◼   ► yeah right i mean this is true didn't

01:06:47 ◼   ► like trying to poison his food they're

01:06:48 ◼   ► all these different kinds of things

01:06:49 ◼   ► aren't shit man look what happened with

01:06:51 ◼   ► that with all the guys in people in

01:06:53 ◼   ► Russia being poisoned you know like that

01:06:55 ◼   ► guy who was basically poisoned by Putin

01:06:57 ◼   ► it's like well it doesn't take that many

01:06:59 ◼   ► stories where you go up geez like this

01:07:01 ◼   ► really is like three days of the Condor

01:07:03 ◼   ► it's really this is bad but all of those

01:07:05 ◼   ► things you can see you can picture a guy

01:07:08 ◼   ► sitting in his desk with a mustache and

01:07:12 ◼   ► he's like he's got an assignment he's on

01:07:15 ◼   ► assignment because i'm fairly specific

01:07:16 ◼   ► assignment to like disrupt with pride

01:07:20 ◼   ► bet for a long time a lot of CIA was

01:07:22 ◼   ► causing chaos disrupt disruption and

01:07:26 ◼   ► lack of trust in a given government

01:07:28 ◼   ► yeah right before you say like we're

01:07:29 ◼   ► gonna send in troops a lot of it might

01:07:30 ◼   ► have been like something as simple as

01:07:32 ◼   ► make the electricity go off a lot so

01:07:34 ◼   ► people don't trust the government it

01:07:35 ◼   ► would be that's an operational thing I

01:07:37 ◼   ► could see people doing at ground level

01:07:38 ◼   ► except you can picture you can picture

01:07:40 ◼   ► five people in a in a meeting room where

01:07:42 ◼   ► they closed the door and goes and then

01:07:45 ◼   ► they totally flip some switch and the

01:07:47 ◼   ► the cone of silence comes down and

01:07:49 ◼   ► they're like okay here's what we're

01:07:50 ◼   ► going to do but you can't picture five

01:07:52 ◼   ► people in a room imagining the scope of

01:07:56 ◼   ► we're going to we're going to turn

01:08:00 ◼   ► colombian cocaine into a weapon to

01:08:05 ◼   ► destabilize the Black Power movement

01:08:07 ◼   ► it's just too it's too

01:08:12 ◼   ► there there are too many things that

01:08:15 ◼   ► have to happen that where the logical

01:08:19 ◼   ► explanation is much it is much simpler

01:08:22 ◼   ► to say simpler and more cost effective

01:08:25 ◼   ► and more secretive way to do it that

01:08:27 ◼   ► didn't require all of those contortions

01:08:28 ◼   ► is is seeding contrails with chemicals

01:08:31 ◼   ► the best way to do whatever it is you

01:08:33 ◼   ► think these people are trying to

01:08:33 ◼   ► accomplish is that the most effective

01:08:35 ◼   ► way to do that

01:08:36 ◼   ► yeah i'm at nana's it's bananas and also

01:08:38 ◼   ► liked the story of the Colombian drug

01:08:41 ◼   ► cartels that where they came up

01:08:43 ◼   ► organically and found a market for this

01:08:45 ◼   ► product and it it you know and there was

01:08:48 ◼   ► a like that is a story Simon and we know

01:08:51 ◼   ► that the CIA in Iraq

01:08:53 ◼   ► did with them but there wasn't it's much

01:08:55 ◼   ► more plausible that was just capitalism

01:08:57 ◼   ► working then that anyone in the CIA had

01:09:00 ◼   ► a big plan right and no soldiers came

01:09:03 ◼   ► back from Vietnam and they've gotten

01:09:04 ◼   ► hooked on heroin in Asia and that was

01:09:09 ◼   ► that seems much more organic and natural

01:09:11 ◼   ► and and plausible than that they were

01:09:14 ◼   ► intentionally hooked on drugs by the CIA

01:09:17 ◼   ► trying to ruin the inner city and so

01:09:20 ◼   ► there's too many steps in a lot of those

01:09:23 ◼   ► conspiracies for it for it to fort for

01:09:28 ◼   ► me to believe that five guys in her in a

01:09:31 ◼   ► cone of silence had the wisdom to

01:09:34 ◼   ► foresee all of this stuff they're just

01:09:38 ◼   ► in their line and keep it a secret all

01:09:40 ◼   ► those all of those steps five guys could

01:09:43 ◼   ► not cause that to happen by the rebels

01:09:45 ◼   ► so there's a guy with the mustache and

01:09:47 ◼   ► short-sleeved white shirts smoking of

01:09:49 ◼   ► cigarette and he's got an idea and it's

01:09:52 ◼   ► never been

01:09:53 ◼   ► he's he never has the authority or the

01:09:56 ◼   ► budget to pull off a big idea

01:09:59 ◼   ► no one could ever say chemtrails and

01:10:01 ◼   ► then have access to the black budget to

01:10:06 ◼   ► create it right he'd have to take it up

01:10:08 ◼   ► to the head office the head office is

01:10:10 ◼   ► going to say well we've also we're

01:10:11 ◼   ► trying to source trying to foment a

01:10:14 ◼   ► revolution in the following six

01:10:16 ◼   ► countries and we're trying to make

01:10:17 ◼   ► Castro's beard fallout you know will

01:10:19 ◼   ► give you a million dollars exploratory

01:10:21 ◼   ► funds or whatever but you know so that's

01:10:24 ◼   ► the that's the main stumbling block with

01:10:26 ◼   ► most of those conspiracies like back

01:10:28 ◼   ► trace it to the to the guy in short

01:10:31 ◼   ► sleeve shirt that had the diabolical

01:10:33 ◼   ► idea and then tell me there's any

01:10:36 ◼   ► organization in the world where he can

01:10:38 ◼   ► where he can get a powerpoint

01:10:40 ◼   ► demonstration up where they give him the

01:10:42 ◼   ► the six hundred million dollars to pull

01:10:46 ◼   ► off his scheme you know right its and

01:10:48 ◼   ► you'll find nobody finds out and nobody

01:10:50 ◼   ► finds out why don't you like the way he

01:10:53 ◼   ► the army cheated like the Chief of Staff

01:10:56 ◼   ► of the Armed Forces doesn't have the

01:10:59 ◼   ► authority to and the director of the CIA

01:11:01 ◼   ► you know they have access to this money

01:11:03 ◼   ► but they don't that it's not like some

01:11:05 ◼   ► kind of

01:11:06 ◼   ► situation where they just sweep into a

01:11:07 ◼   ► room and say here's the plan

01:11:10 ◼   ► you know they're there bureaucracies so

01:11:13 ◼   ► that's the that's the number one thing

01:11:14 ◼   ► that causes me to say 99% of the

01:11:18 ◼   ► conspiracy theories would require I

01:11:22 ◼   ► would require a Blofeld mhm and there's

01:11:26 ◼   ► there just aren't any Blofeld's that we

01:11:29 ◼   ► know of

01:11:29 ◼   ► well I mean I sergey brin alright just a

01:11:34 ◼   ► magic word no that's okay okay we're

01:11:36 ◼   ► gonna do that thing where you from the

01:11:38 ◼   ► internet

01:11:38 ◼   ► oh please this is the story of James

01:11:40 ◼   ► Tooley Matthews i sent you a link in the

01:11:41 ◼   ► robot 1797 he was the first person

01:11:46 ◼   ► documented with what we now called

01:11:48 ◼   ► paranoid schizophrenia

01:11:49 ◼   ► oh and the guy who tended to him was

01:11:51 ◼   ► this guy John Haslem who wrote a book

01:11:54 ◼   ► about what happened with this fella and

01:11:56 ◼   ► the thing that he believed was

01:11:57 ◼   ► tormenting him and you'll see that the

01:11:59 ◼   ► illustration that was made of this thing

01:12:01 ◼   ► called the air low which is the thing so

01:12:04 ◼   ► in the pre active electricity age

01:12:05 ◼   ► this is the machine that was causing all

01:12:07 ◼   ► this trouble so I thought you'd enjoy

01:12:09 ◼   ► this but also would like to read you the

01:12:11 ◼   ► name of the others lot of people of the

01:12:14 ◼   ► book that John has them wrote about this

01:12:15 ◼   ► because it's probably my favorite title

01:12:17 ◼   ► of a book ever

01:12:18 ◼   ► this is often 1810 john hasn't wrote a

01:12:20 ◼   ► book was later shortened to

01:12:21 ◼   ► illustrations of of madness the full

01:12:24 ◼   ► title original title illustrations of

01:12:26 ◼   ► madness exhibiting a singular case of

01:12:28 ◼   ► insanity and no less remarkable

01:12:30 ◼   ► difference in medical opinions

01:12:32 ◼   ► developing the nature of an assailant

01:12:34 ◼   ► and the manner of working events with a

01:12:36 ◼   ► description of tortures experience by

01:12:38 ◼   ► bombs bursting lobster cracking and

01:12:39 ◼   ► lengthening the brain embellished with a

01:12:41 ◼   ► curious plate haha i love the word is

01:12:44 ◼   ► ailment mhm so the heirloom as

01:12:49 ◼   ► illustrated here as well as messing with

01:12:52 ◼   ► this guy the torments included induced

01:12:54 ◼   ► by the Rays of the heirloom included

01:12:55 ◼   ► lobster cracking well which is a

01:12:57 ◼   ► circular saw you get the lobster

01:12:58 ◼   ► cracking under the circulation of the

01:13:00 ◼   ► blood was prevented by a magnetic field

01:13:02 ◼   ► stomach skinning an apoplexy working

01:13:03 ◼   ► with nutmeg grater which involved the

01:13:05 ◼   ► introduction of fluids into the skull

01:13:06 ◼   ► his persecutors bore such names as the

01:13:09 ◼   ► middleman who operated the heirloom the

01:13:10 ◼   ► glove woman and sir Archie who acted as

01:13:12 ◼   ► quote unquote repeaters or active

01:13:14 ◼   ► warriors to enhance Matthews treat

01:13:16 ◼   ► torment or record the machines

01:13:18 ◼   ► activities and their leader a man

01:13:19 ◼   ► bill or the King what you know as you

01:13:23 ◼   ► describe that and and this has been true

01:13:25 ◼   ► i think of is like an HBO show

01:13:27 ◼   ► well yeah Wow actually start writing

01:13:31 ◼   ► that script but uh but his description

01:13:34 ◼   ► of his tormenters is it equips nicely

01:13:40 ◼   ► with how I would describe a some of the

01:13:44 ◼   ► cast of voices in my own head like there

01:13:48 ◼   ► are like characters or invoices not like

01:13:51 ◼   ► hearing voices but like points of view

01:13:53 ◼   ► that you can punch of you that have

01:13:55 ◼   ► distinct personalities yeah from one

01:13:58 ◼   ► another right where were you

01:14:00 ◼   ► you're walking along in here and you're

01:14:02 ◼   ► quietude and some voice says uh it's you

01:14:07 ◼   ► know a dummy over here

01:14:08 ◼   ► yeah it's it's imperative that we do the

01:14:10 ◼   ► following thing and some other voice

01:14:12 ◼   ► says what

01:14:13 ◼   ► that's the dumbest idea we've ever had

01:14:15 ◼   ► and after a while II you have to

01:14:20 ◼   ► acknowledge that these are separate they

01:14:22 ◼   ► have separate viewpoints that and they

01:14:23 ◼   ► have personalities enough to express

01:14:25 ◼   ► them right here

01:14:26 ◼   ► yeah but but i never i do not locate

01:14:30 ◼   ► those things outside my body and that

01:14:34 ◼   ► whatever their torment it just it seems

01:14:38 ◼   ► like a heated discussion there they

01:14:40 ◼   ► aren't like and and in a way I don't

01:14:45 ◼   ► separate myself from them except at

01:14:48 ◼   ► curiously like who are your dogs not

01:14:51 ◼   ► telling you to go out and kill the

01:14:52 ◼   ► people in your mail route or something

01:14:53 ◼   ► right

01:14:54 ◼   ► but but the different personalities that

01:14:56 ◼   ► he describes in that you know just their

01:14:58 ◼   ► character their character names their

01:15:01 ◼   ► kid their player character named feel

01:15:04 ◼   ► very familiar right that the one but the

01:15:06 ◼   ► one that's leading the whole thing named

01:15:08 ◼   ► bill for the king and over the king and

01:15:11 ◼   ► LOL or the King you know uh that the

01:15:13 ◼   ► various other sort of sort of traits

01:15:18 ◼   ► that are implied by those names so so it

01:15:21 ◼   ► it still feels like it still feels like

01:15:24 ◼   ► consciousness and personality are on a

01:15:28 ◼   ► continuum or on a some sort of bell

01:15:30 ◼   ► curve

01:15:31 ◼   ► where the vast majority of people are

01:15:33 ◼   ► not aware of a of a chorus of voices and

01:15:36 ◼   ► then as the as you get the trail off to

01:15:38 ◼   ► a leading edge there are people that are

01:15:40 ◼   ► aware of that of that group of voices

01:15:43 ◼   ► but are managing them and then at a

01:15:45 ◼   ► certain point those voices become become

01:15:48 ◼   ► a distinct enough that they feel

01:15:50 ◼   ► distinct from yourself

01:15:52 ◼   ► well and then there are people that I

01:15:55 ◼   ► guess on the other end who have no who

01:15:58 ◼   ► have a singular voice very dramatically

01:16:02 ◼   ► singular voice that there was that

01:16:03 ◼   ► they're aware of everything that people

01:16:05 ◼   ► who are aware of as the voice that is

01:16:07 ◼   ► them or a singular voice that is

01:16:09 ◼   ► external to them know a singular voice

01:16:11 ◼   ► that they're aware of as themselves

01:16:13 ◼   ► right there is no disagreement within

01:16:15 ◼   ► within their own mind that there is a

01:16:18 ◼   ► that there's a unity of self and and I

01:16:21 ◼   ► guess my confusion is I don't know

01:16:23 ◼   ► whether that unity of self perspective

01:16:26 ◼   ► is at the at the peak of the bell curve

01:16:29 ◼   ► and that's the majority or whether that

01:16:32 ◼   ► unity of self is also a pathology at the

01:16:35 ◼   ► far end well interesting other end of

01:16:37 ◼   ► the scale supernormal quote-unquote or

01:16:41 ◼   ► like a uniquely unusual to just have one

01:16:44 ◼   ► voice in your head

01:16:44 ◼   ► yeah that that that that the that the

01:16:46 ◼   ► mass of people but normal let's say

01:16:49 ◼   ► involve some internal deliberation but

01:16:53 ◼   ► not enough where you're saying that

01:16:55 ◼   ► these are distinctive personalities that

01:16:57 ◼   ► are arguing but more that you're like

01:16:58 ◼   ► you know the devil and angel on your

01:17:00 ◼   ► shoulder right there yeah did there may

01:17:02 ◼   ► be two other perspectives that are kind

01:17:04 ◼   ► of arguing with you but there's not all

01:17:06 ◼   ► these you know i would i would describe

01:17:08 ◼   ► my own mind as having between six and

01:17:10 ◼   ► twelve voices depending on how quiet i

01:17:13 ◼   ► am Who and maybe it maybe your your

01:17:17 ◼   ► normal is is to in a good and evil and

01:17:21 ◼   ► then there and then and then the other

01:17:23 ◼   ► end of it the other pathologies just

01:17:25 ◼   ► this hyper confidence in one's own you

01:17:30 ◼   ► know the certitude of one's own mind

01:17:32 ◼   ► i I don't know enough about and i don't

01:17:35 ◼   ► i'm not sure that it's ever been

01:17:37 ◼   ► investigated or discussed in that in

01:17:39 ◼   ► those terms

01:17:40 ◼   ► but yeah but listening to a lot of

01:17:43 ◼   ► schizophrenic descriptions i feel a

01:17:46 ◼   ► kinship with the words they use I just

01:17:50 ◼   ► don't I just don't know what it would be

01:17:51 ◼   ► like to externalize that and and and and

01:17:57 ◼   ► feel and be victimized by it and you

01:17:59 ◼   ► know it here actually hear voices so

01:18:02 ◼   ► there's nothing in those voices that you

01:18:04 ◼   ► would find yourself feeling that there's

01:18:06 ◼   ► a plausible reason to believe they're

01:18:08 ◼   ► coming from anything except just what

01:18:10 ◼   ► you want my call you

01:18:11 ◼   ► yeah my own my own nothings in like

01:18:15 ◼   ► inserted distorted control their just if

01:18:18 ◼   ► there's just factions of my own

01:18:20 ◼   ► consciousness and it's part of the

01:18:23 ◼   ► mystery of consciousness but but what's

01:18:27 ◼   ► a what what seems it seems what some

01:18:32 ◼   ► troubling is just I mean every once

01:18:36 ◼   ► awhile be in the basement of a house

01:18:38 ◼   ► usually a strange house i'll have

01:18:40 ◼   ► headphones on i'll be playing the guitar

01:18:42 ◼   ► into some kind of you know headphone amp

01:18:46 ◼   ► I'm all tangled banking and I and it's

01:18:48 ◼   ► night stark at night and I'm down in the

01:18:50 ◼   ► basement making rock music in my

01:18:52 ◼   ► headphones and i will hear John from

01:18:56 ◼   ► right behind me

01:18:57 ◼   ► well and I will flip off my headphones

01:19:01 ◼   ► and leap across the room you know

01:19:04 ◼   ► spinning in midair in total combat pose

01:19:07 ◼   ► and I'm all alone and that's happened a

01:19:11 ◼   ► few times

01:19:13 ◼   ► creepy and each time I you know I flee

01:19:15 ◼   ► the basement and I go upstairs kind of

01:19:17 ◼   ► panting and like what the fuck why do

01:19:22 ◼   ► you keep doing that weird voice why do

01:19:25 ◼   ► you keep shouting in my ear when I met

01:19:27 ◼   ► really having fun playing the guitar but

01:19:30 ◼   ► other than that there's you know

01:19:31 ◼   ► nobody's ever liked faster pussycat kill

01:19:34 ◼   ► kill

01:19:35 ◼   ► right and I and I wouldn't know what to

01:19:38 ◼   ► do

01:19:40 ◼   ► I wouldn't know what to do if that ever

01:19:42 ◼   ► happened I don't think I mean I think

01:19:43 ◼   ► I'm long past the point where you would

01:19:45 ◼   ► have an onset of that kind of mental

01:19:47 ◼   ► illness so I am I so I feel like I'm

01:19:50 ◼   ► wrestling with what I've got right my

01:19:51 ◼   ► cards have been dealt and and it's and

01:19:56 ◼   ► it's absolutely manageable

01:19:58 ◼   ► well yeah and more curious to me what

01:20:01 ◼   ► you're describing also is something i am

01:20:02 ◼   ► thinking about an awful lot is that and

01:20:05 ◼   ► it's it's very very loosely at length

01:20:09 ◼   ► kind of related to certain ideas about

01:20:11 ◼   ► mindfulness and maybe Buddhism but like

01:20:13 ◼   ► there's what it's one thing to feel bad

01:20:15 ◼   ► and it's kind of another thing to feel

01:20:16 ◼   ► bad about how you feel bad I feel bad

01:20:18 ◼   ► about why you feel bad and it's strange

01:20:20 ◼   ► because how manageable it can be to not

01:20:23 ◼   ► mind the fact that you don't feel good

01:20:25 ◼   ► today and to kind of accepted as like

01:20:27 ◼   ► well as you know just days good days and

01:20:29 ◼   ► bad days but like the thing that really

01:20:31 ◼   ► drives one if you like crazy is this

01:20:34 ◼   ► feeling that like you're aware of the

01:20:36 ◼   ► badness of how you're feeling

01:20:38 ◼   ► it's not getting any better and it's

01:20:39 ◼   ► going on over time you know what I mean

01:20:41 ◼   ► or you're having this constant you have

01:20:43 ◼   ► enough sort of presence of mind to doubt

01:20:45 ◼   ► your own perceptions of things to where

01:20:48 ◼   ► you don't trust it and you know you

01:20:50 ◼   ► don't trust it

01:20:50 ◼   ► I mean that's helped to me it would be

01:20:52 ◼   ► one thing to get to wear like you're not

01:20:53 ◼   ► even aware of how like you helped me how

01:20:56 ◼   ► about your dimension is or something

01:20:57 ◼   ► like that that's awful for sure but to

01:20:59 ◼   ► like see yourself going oh I I can see

01:21:02 ◼   ► where this is heading it's not good

01:21:04 ◼   ► that's the that seems like the worst and

01:21:06 ◼   ► then you feel bad about of course that

01:21:07 ◼   ► was what was you know that was what has

01:21:09 ◼   ► been happening to me for for several

01:21:12 ◼   ► years right where i would just look at a

01:21:14 ◼   ► situation i go there is absolutely no

01:21:16 ◼   ► despair inherent in this situation

01:21:20 ◼   ► I'm just bringing it I'm bringing

01:21:22 ◼   ► despair into my into mundane situations

01:21:27 ◼   ► right if you if you're having if you're

01:21:29 ◼   ► having a social encounter with something

01:21:31 ◼   ► like that the thing is happening right

01:21:32 ◼   ► now does not have any like valence on

01:21:34 ◼   ► its own like I'm taking this what it is

01:21:35 ◼   ► I'm in my own kitchen making a cup of

01:21:39 ◼   ► tea

01:21:40 ◼   ► there's no there's no despair it's all

01:21:44 ◼   ► it's all in me and and and and in that

01:21:48 ◼   ► sense like the the way that paranoia

01:21:51 ◼   ► factors into it

01:21:53 ◼   ► is it is explainable to me or it's it's

01:21:57 ◼   ► it's I'm sympathetic to situations where

01:22:01 ◼   ► you are you're socializing with other

01:22:03 ◼   ► people and you are bringing despair

01:22:05 ◼   ► because that that the tension when

01:22:08 ◼   ► someone somebody else doesn't understand

01:22:10 ◼   ► you the feeling of isolation from other

01:22:12 ◼   ► people

01:22:13 ◼   ► the the feeling that other people are

01:22:17 ◼   ► sharing love with each other and you are

01:22:20 ◼   ► excluded from that like that all makes

01:22:24 ◼   ► sense to me even if it's even if it is

01:22:26 ◼   ► wrong but I can see where you would get

01:22:29 ◼   ► pulled into that I get pulled into it

01:22:31 ◼   ► all the time if there are five people in

01:22:33 ◼   ► a room there are always going to be

01:22:36 ◼   ► moments where I feel like though like

01:22:38 ◼   ► that they are all sharing in something

01:22:42 ◼   ► that I'm excluded from you and that's

01:22:44 ◼   ► not always true sometimes I feel like

01:22:46 ◼   ► I'm in the center of this of friendship

01:22:48 ◼   ► but i'm always i'm always vulnerable to

01:22:51 ◼   ► getting pulled out of it but if you're

01:22:53 ◼   ► just walking in the forest and looking

01:22:55 ◼   ► at the moss and you feel that that

01:22:58 ◼   ► isolation and that that sense of not

01:23:01 ◼   ► belonging then there that that's where

01:23:05 ◼   ► that's the the bell ringer for me huh

01:23:08 ◼   ► but it's like this is all this is a

01:23:09 ◼   ► disease of the mind and i still may not

01:23:14 ◼   ► allow the joco crews it's always very

01:23:16 ◼   ► complicated because there are a lot of

01:23:19 ◼   ► talented people and they're all together

01:23:21 ◼   ► and there's a lot of collaboration but

01:23:23 ◼   ► there's also a sort of like who's going

01:23:25 ◼   ► to sit at the head table who don't know

01:23:27 ◼   ► yet on of the absolutely who is

01:23:30 ◼   ► you-know-who is Paul Tompkins going to

01:23:32 ◼   ► choose to sit with and so everyone and

01:23:35 ◼   ► to a greater or lesser degrees people

01:23:37 ◼   ► don't care about it but you'll notice

01:23:38 ◼   ► that people do care about it because

01:23:40 ◼   ► they are first in the dining room to

01:23:43 ◼   ► make sure they secure their seat and the

01:23:45 ◼   ► right spot and that and and there are

01:23:48 ◼   ► times when I can be high above that and

01:23:50 ◼   ► just Marvel and laugh and enjoy the way

01:23:53 ◼   ► people are and enjoy the kind of social

01:23:55 ◼   ► and the kind of social craziness her but

01:24:01 ◼   ► there are other times when you're like I

01:24:02 ◼   ► would like to sit next to that person

01:24:04 ◼   ► and chat and instead I'm sitting over

01:24:06 ◼   ► here and

01:24:07 ◼   ► it feels and I feel alone but but on

01:24:10 ◼   ► this particular cruise I had a moment we

01:24:15 ◼   ► were sailing out of a port like a

01:24:17 ◼   ► Caribbean island that I won't name

01:24:19 ◼   ► except to say that it's st. Thomas that

01:24:22 ◼   ► I've already had a bad experience out

01:24:25 ◼   ► and I didn't go ashore so I was on my

01:24:28 ◼   ► boat and I was lobbying 12-time

01:24:30 ◼   ► cannonballs at the port all afternoon

01:24:32 ◼   ► and we're sailing out in the Sun has

01:24:34 ◼   ► gone down and we're sailing past st.

01:24:36 ◼   ► Thomas which is a beautiful island to

01:24:39 ◼   ► appraise from a quarter of a mile right

01:24:43 ◼   ► from offshore it's gorgeous and a at and

01:24:50 ◼   ► the the harbor of amelie whatever the

01:24:56 ◼   ► town is that we go into the it's one of

01:24:59 ◼   ► those perfect harbors we're just like

01:25:00 ◼   ► this is the most gorgeous place I've

01:25:02 ◼   ► ever seen

01:25:03 ◼   ► surely this town is a tropical paradise

01:25:05 ◼   ► and you get onshore and it's just like a

01:25:08 ◼   ► by tanzanite whatever there's nothing

01:25:11 ◼   ► there but as we're sailing out of this

01:25:13 ◼   ► Harbor and I'm what I'm looking at the

01:25:16 ◼   ► sunset on the side of the hill and I'm

01:25:18 ◼   ► seeing all these Caribbean houses that

01:25:21 ◼   ► are perched on the side in a sort of

01:25:24 ◼   ► jungle canopy or I'm not it's not jungle

01:25:27 ◼   ► it's drier but like a a wooded canopy

01:25:31 ◼   ► and it's this beautiful island and I

01:25:34 ◼   ► realized that this was for certain

01:25:38 ◼   ► number of people that was their home

01:25:39 ◼   ► they were they born there and they never

01:25:41 ◼   ► do anything else but for a lot of people

01:25:43 ◼   ► this is there this is their fantasy this

01:25:49 ◼   ► is this this is how they express their

01:25:52 ◼   ► success in life

01:25:53 ◼   ► this is their ambition they worked all

01:25:56 ◼   ► those years in Winnipeg in order to

01:26:00 ◼   ► afford to come to this island and live

01:26:03 ◼   ► in that house and that and the distance

01:26:08 ◼   ► I felt from those people the feeling

01:26:11 ◼   ► that I was looking at this hillside

01:26:12 ◼   ► where thousands of people's fantasies

01:26:15 ◼   ► were expressed in all these vacation

01:26:19 ◼   ► homes and I felt no kinship with them i

01:26:23 ◼   ► would not have a house there as that is

01:26:25 ◼   ► not my fantasy nor my ambition and it

01:26:29 ◼   ► and and different strokes for different

01:26:30 ◼   ► folks right but but I felt so different

01:26:35 ◼   ► from them that I had this sudden like

01:26:39 ◼   ► feeling of tremendous loneliness was

01:26:44 ◼   ► like how how can that be so how can I be

01:26:48 ◼   ► so detached from that whole idea to 21

01:26:54 ◼   ► day end up in a home on st. Thomas where

01:26:57 ◼   ► there's nothing to do but sit on the

01:26:59 ◼   ► porch under a slowly turning fan and

01:27:02 ◼   ► drink gin fizzes nothing about that

01:27:06 ◼   ► appeals to me and and watching that

01:27:09 ◼   ► whole island just sort of like Rob I

01:27:13 ◼   ► felt I felt so profoundly alone that I

01:27:16 ◼   ► had to get out i had to stop looking at

01:27:18 ◼   ► the island had to put on my shorts and

01:27:21 ◼   ► get out of my cabin and go find some

01:27:23 ◼   ► people and go up to sprinkles and get an

01:27:24 ◼   ► ice cream cone because because I felt

01:27:29 ◼   ► such a distance from humanity at that

01:27:31 ◼   ► point and I don't know whether that's

01:27:34 ◼   ► the same reaction or or a you know or an

01:27:38 ◼   ► imbalance one

01:27:39 ◼   ► it feels very it feels very crazy in the

01:27:42 ◼   ► moment but also i can't find fault with

01:27:45 ◼   ► it when i try to explain that I don't I

01:27:48 ◼   ► i find no I find no pleasure there and

01:27:52 ◼   ► that is and there are and I guess what

01:27:55 ◼   ► it was i I just I saw this archipelago

01:27:57 ◼   ► of these places kind of stretching to

01:28:00 ◼   ► infinity like this is one of the top

01:28:04 ◼   ► Human fantasies to retire to a tropical

01:28:07 ◼   ► island and I just was like no no no I

01:28:12 ◼   ► would rather live in a shipping

01:28:13 ◼   ► container buried under sand in the

01:28:15 ◼   ► desert her with Fred Durst and dick

01:28:17 ◼   ► cheney I'm not sure

01:28:20 ◼   ► yeah yeah and it's a yeah and of course

01:28:24 ◼   ► one of the voices will always say like

01:28:25 ◼   ► what's wrong with you dummy

01:28:26 ◼   ► well that's exactly right i quite like

01:28:29 ◼   ► what what is what is your problem

01:28:31 ◼   ► why can't you enjoy tropical island like

01:28:33 ◼   ► everybody else the only person that's

01:28:35 ◼   ► that's not spent their whole life

01:28:36 ◼   ► looking forward to this getting to do

01:28:38 ◼   ► this thing nobody else gets to do that

01:28:40 ◼   ► everybody wants to do

01:28:41 ◼   ► why are you why are you not first of all

01:28:43 ◼   ► why are you such a sad sack like what

01:28:44 ◼   ► how can you not be thrilled to be here

01:28:46 ◼   ► right now

01:28:47 ◼   ► yeah yeah yeah I mean what's crazy about

01:28:50 ◼   ► the joco Cruz is that i love it because

01:28:52 ◼   ► my friends are there and we're making

01:28:53 ◼   ► fun and I think the sea monkeys are

01:28:55 ◼   ► great but to be on that exact same

01:28:58 ◼   ► cruise ship going to that exact same

01:29:00 ◼   ► itinerary where there were not see

01:29:02 ◼   ► monkeys and I was not there with my

01:29:04 ◼   ► friends would be my worst nightmare

01:29:06 ◼   ► yeah and how can you be how can the same

01:29:08 ◼   ► cruise be like so fun and so potentially

01:29:14 ◼   ► miserable at the same time it's a it's

01:29:19 ◼   ► it's really funny you know it's like

01:29:20 ◼   ► what do I want to do I want to go sit in

01:29:23 ◼   ► a cafe somewhere a and drink little

01:29:26 ◼   ► teeny cups of coffee and read like like

01:29:32 ◼   ► I guess really little histories of

01:29:34 ◼   ► things read people's film reviews for

01:29:36 ◼   ► her she should know why what what is

01:29:39 ◼   ► that what is that

01:29:40 ◼   ► well and it's it's funny cuz i mean i

01:29:42 ◼   ► always favored go somewhere that is

01:29:45 ◼   ► primarily a place to go for fun and

01:29:47 ◼   ► relaxation

01:29:47 ◼   ► that's different from the everyday stuff

01:29:49 ◼   ► and like I always feel like I'm doing

01:29:51 ◼   ► wrong and always feel like it takes me a

01:29:53 ◼   ► and probably long time to get into the

01:29:55 ◼   ► spirit of whatever it is and not just be

01:29:57 ◼   ► somebody rolling their eyes on the

01:29:58 ◼   ► sidelines

01:29:59 ◼   ► no matter what I always feel that way I

01:30:02 ◼   ► can't ever go anywhere once it looks

01:30:05 ◼   ► just called vacation even though it may

01:30:07 ◼   ► be something as simple as like just

01:30:08 ◼   ► standard hotel for weekend somewhere I

01:30:10 ◼   ► can't go anywhere once and be good at it

01:30:12 ◼   ► I have to go there like three times to

01:30:14 ◼   ► understand how to be somewhere like

01:30:16 ◼   ► learn like what expectations to have

01:30:18 ◼   ► here is the kind of fears the kind of

01:30:19 ◼   ► activities that this place is excels at

01:30:22 ◼   ► and here's the many many many other

01:30:24 ◼   ► kinds of things that are just not a good

01:30:25 ◼   ► idea to try and do here stop trying to

01:30:26 ◼   ► get a good internet connection that's

01:30:28 ◼   ► not expecting that this will be an

01:30:30 ◼   ► authentic hamburger now go sit on the

01:30:32 ◼   ► beach and drink a drink

01:30:33 ◼   ► that's what this place is good for that

01:30:35 ◼   ► might take me three quarters of the

01:30:36 ◼   ► vacation to figure out but it also and

01:30:39 ◼   ► so it makes me feel like a terrible

01:30:40 ◼   ► person but it also makes me a student of

01:30:42 ◼   ► all the other people who are doing it

01:30:44 ◼   ► nowhere

01:30:44 ◼   ► way like to get to our cabin we had

01:30:46 ◼   ► walked past the guest account the

01:30:48 ◼   ► library you know whenever you know I

01:30:50 ◼   ► mean like there's an area walk past a

01:30:52 ◼   ► little can follow the novel exactly i

01:30:54 ◼   ► mean it is it's like a bunch and

01:30:56 ◼   ► rulebooks it's up on you know it's it's

01:30:58 ◼   ► under some guys boardgames and you would

01:31:01 ◼   ► walk by there and see people who like we

01:31:04 ◼   ► got a free cruise for doing this so we

01:31:06 ◼   ► were there free so any I think least you

01:31:09 ◼   ► know I was not felt like I was losing

01:31:10 ◼   ► money which is another terrible feeling

01:31:12 ◼   ► is going somewhere indication realize

01:31:13 ◼   ► you're paying to go to awkward somewhere

01:31:15 ◼   ► and but this room probably folks who are

01:31:18 ◼   ► paying a pretty good amount of dough to

01:31:19 ◼   ► be on this trip and a lot of times it

01:31:21 ◼   ► wasn't sea monkeys with other folks who

01:31:22 ◼   ► are not affiliated with that part of the

01:31:23 ◼   ► group anyway not unusual to walk by and

01:31:26 ◼   ► see like three to 10 people like sitting

01:31:33 ◼   ► in the deck of a ship like reading a

01:31:36 ◼   ► borrowed book in a library so I mean no

01:31:39 ◼   ► these are not enough folks who are like

01:31:41 ◼   ► like on the deck reading the book they

01:31:43 ◼   ► brought these are people who are picking

01:31:44 ◼   ► a can follow book off the shelf and

01:31:46 ◼   ► reading it in a airless room inside of a

01:31:51 ◼   ► cruise ship and I assume they're having

01:31:53 ◼   ► a good time

01:31:54 ◼   ► yeah they're doing what they want to do

01:31:55 ◼   ► right now or for that matter let's let's

01:31:57 ◼   ► talk about like the was obviously a huge

01:31:59 ◼   ► change in focus i guess over the years

01:32:00 ◼   ► is the amount of gaming that goes on

01:32:01 ◼   ► there are a lot of people who are like

01:32:03 ◼   ► one of the lowest decks of the ship like

01:32:05 ◼   ► in in the in a room with artificial

01:32:07 ◼   ► lighting playing board games and having

01:32:09 ◼   ► the time of their life

01:32:10 ◼   ► yeah which is a bit but it's a very

01:32:12 ◼   ► lively atmosphere very good arias and

01:32:14 ◼   ► warm and every single person I met down

01:32:16 ◼   ► there they're all weirdos they were all

01:32:17 ◼   ► great they're all playing come to done

01:32:19 ◼   ► shower or whatever and they are totally

01:32:20 ◼   ► excited to explain everything like would

01:32:22 ◼   ► you like to play we would be happy to

01:32:23 ◼   ► explain this game to you

01:32:24 ◼   ► well as their server social with each

01:32:26 ◼   ► other right i mean they're having having

01:32:28 ◼   ► so much fun great time because they

01:32:30 ◼   ► found they found kindred spirits and you

01:32:34 ◼   ► know and they don't have to i'm I I when

01:32:36 ◼   ► I look at that game room I i see a lot

01:32:38 ◼   ► of those people and I imagine them in

01:32:39 ◼   ► their hometown getting a few friends

01:32:42 ◼   ► from work over and saying hey you know

01:32:45 ◼   ► let me show you how to play settlers of

01:32:47 ◼   ► catan and their friends from worker like

01:32:50 ◼   ► huh weird okay and they play it and then

01:32:53 ◼   ► we play that iphone game we saw on Ellen

01:32:55 ◼   ► yeah right the other half hearted

01:32:57 ◼   ► about it and they're like me or I mean

01:33:00 ◼   ► the and the best situations are ones

01:33:01 ◼   ► where it's where it's a couple and they

01:33:03 ◼   ► both are really into gaming but that

01:33:05 ◼   ► feeling that they're coming from all

01:33:07 ◼   ► over where they're like I've kind of got

01:33:09 ◼   ► my little game group but you know to the

01:33:11 ◼   ► people only come half the time and

01:33:14 ◼   ► suddenly they're in a room where

01:33:15 ◼   ► everybody is just as everybody

01:33:18 ◼   ► recognizes that these games are as fun

01:33:21 ◼   ► as I think that they're they're excited

01:33:24 ◼   ► but they may be very excited about or

01:33:25 ◼   ► even maybe say having developed of one

01:33:27 ◼   ► of those games or work on the King so

01:33:28 ◼   ► they're excited about that game but

01:33:30 ◼   ► they're also excited about many of the

01:33:31 ◼   ► other games but there it strikes me that

01:33:33 ◼   ► they are equally as excited that

01:33:35 ◼   ► everybody here is excited about games

01:33:37 ◼   ► yeah yesterday just the idea of a bunch

01:33:39 ◼   ► of people and this is a big thing in

01:33:41 ◼   ► nerd culture is that there is like a

01:33:43 ◼   ► good very big tent for letting everybody

01:33:46 ◼   ► in his even vaguely interested in this

01:33:48 ◼   ► and like that's ok it's a really nice

01:33:49 ◼   ► part of their culture it one of the

01:33:53 ◼   ► things that happened on the last cruise

01:33:54 ◼   ► and i'm not sure if you were there but

01:33:56 ◼   ► it happened again on this cruise was Ted

01:33:57 ◼   ► Leo reading aloud from the silmarillion

01:34:01 ◼   ► heard about this yeah and he did it on

01:34:04 ◼   ► the first cruise and i was there you

01:34:06 ◼   ► know kind of sitting at his feet because

01:34:09 ◼   ► i want I i wanted to understand what Ted

01:34:13 ◼   ► Leo was getting out of it and so I was

01:34:16 ◼   ► like all right ne-yo really wants to

01:34:17 ◼   ► read aloud from some really and I'm

01:34:19 ◼   ► gonna go watch this because I you know

01:34:22 ◼   ► like I'm curious about this guy and I

01:34:24 ◼   ► want to see what what what he's on about

01:34:26 ◼   ► and it turns out ted leo is a very

01:34:31 ◼   ► articulate reader and he knows how to

01:34:35 ◼   ► pronounce Elvis names

01:34:37 ◼   ► wow he's he reads elvish names without

01:34:42 ◼   ► any hesitation and he you know he has a

01:34:46 ◼   ► kind of east coast accent ec definitely

01:34:48 ◼   ► sounds like somebody from the east coast

01:34:50 ◼   ► he sounds like a person a Connecticut

01:34:53 ◼   ► person and not a fancy Connecticut

01:34:56 ◼   ► person but he's reading this is reading

01:35:01 ◼   ► The Silmarillion and I was transported

01:35:03 ◼   ► like it was like I was a child being

01:35:06 ◼   ► read to and I knew enough of this story

01:35:10 ◼   ► that I was

01:35:10 ◼   ► like I was floating away on it and he

01:35:13 ◼   ► was reading from it with such care and

01:35:15 ◼   ► such conviction and i think that the

01:35:20 ◼   ► cast of people that showed up to that

01:35:22 ◼   ► first reading of the similarly and where

01:35:23 ◼   ► a lot of you know a lot of the cooler

01:35:27 ◼   ► people on the boat who are like ted leo

01:35:30 ◼   ► yeah let's go listen to Ted Leo read

01:35:32 ◼   ► about the superintendent and somebody

01:35:34 ◼   ► might be something like he's here he's

01:35:36 ◼   ► catering to the pandering to the nurse

01:35:39 ◼   ► yeah he's on this boat and he and and

01:35:41 ◼   ► he's got this nerdy thing that he's

01:35:43 ◼   ► going to do and haha but he was utterly

01:35:46 ◼   ► sincere read this book aloud as though

01:35:50 ◼   ► he had read it aloud every day of his

01:35:51 ◼   ► life and you know and breezed through

01:35:54 ◼   ► that Tolkien ease a sort of almost Old

01:36:00 ◼   ► Testament style of writing and and made

01:36:03 ◼   ► it can make the story come alive and so

01:36:05 ◼   ► this year when he said he was going to

01:36:08 ◼   ► do it he was no longer kind of doing it

01:36:10 ◼   ► up in the cool bar he was down in the

01:36:12 ◼   ► game room in a in a conference room off

01:36:17 ◼   ► the side of the game room in a totally

01:36:19 ◼   ► windowless place the only reason you

01:36:21 ◼   ► would ever go there's because you were

01:36:23 ◼   ► on the cruise with like a Midwestern

01:36:26 ◼   ► sales force and this was where they were

01:36:30 ◼   ► having the powerpoint demonstration

01:36:31 ◼   ► right that right the cruise ship has

01:36:33 ◼   ► that stuff on there because that because

01:36:36 ◼   ► they cater largely to conventions and so

01:36:42 ◼   ► I go in the room and at this point

01:36:44 ◼   ► almost everybody in the room is not a

01:36:46 ◼   ► cool person who's there to see ted leo d

01:36:49 ◼   ► something slummy it's a bunch of people

01:36:51 ◼   ► that want to hear the silmarillion read

01:36:52 ◼   ► aloud and the the room looks very

01:36:55 ◼   ► different

01:36:56 ◼   ► you can hear a pin drop in there and he

01:36:59 ◼   ► again reads like so so artfully from

01:37:08 ◼   ► this book he's telling the story and you

01:37:09 ◼   ► know that we've talked about the

01:37:11 ◼   ► silmarillion it's it can be impenetrable

01:37:13 ◼   ► huh

01:37:15 ◼   ► but he's telling the story and you can

01:37:17 ◼   ► feel the tragedy in it and you can feel

01:37:19 ◼   ► his

01:37:20 ◼   ► and he never missed you never makes a

01:37:21 ◼   ► mistake he never gets halfway through a

01:37:23 ◼   ► sentence i believe and starts over again

01:37:25 ◼   ► right

01:37:26 ◼   ► he's just like he's he's gifted and I

01:37:30 ◼   ► had another expect another one of the

01:37:32 ◼   ► 10,000 experiences I've had interacting

01:37:34 ◼   ► with that group of people it's like this

01:37:37 ◼   ► is actually a real thing this has

01:37:38 ◼   ► nothing to do with being a nerd

01:37:39 ◼   ► this is a this is a beautiful moment and

01:37:43 ◼   ► and that's what that's what those are

01:37:46 ◼   ► all the touchstones of the jungle cruise

01:37:48 ◼   ► for me when I'm with a group of people

01:37:49 ◼   ► who are who are enthusiasts about a

01:37:51 ◼   ► thing and then I realized that oh

01:37:54 ◼   ► they're sharing in a moment of of human

01:37:56 ◼   ► beauty that kind of his unrelated it has

01:38:00 ◼   ► nothing to do with like the medium it's

01:38:04 ◼   ► it's ultimately the message and it isn't

01:38:08 ◼   ► a case where the medium is the message

01:38:10 ◼   ► that the medium is is just the it's just

01:38:13 ◼   ► the box so i think the captain saw we

01:38:21 ◼   ► saw those lights fucking infos likessee

01:38:26 ◼   ► doesn't I bet John I bet he doesn't tell

01:38:28 ◼   ► everybody that story I got a feeling I

01:38:30 ◼   ► got a feeling that was kinda special

01:38:32 ◼   ► well yeah i think so too and as we know

01:38:34 ◼   ► as we left I couldn't think of any more

01:38:40 ◼   ► questions that i wanted to have an

01:38:42 ◼   ► answer from a sea captain about like

01:38:44 ◼   ► what's the weirdest shit you ever saw

01:38:46 ◼   ► float up out of the ocean who rogue wave

01:38:48 ◼   ► to grab rogue wave have you ever seen
