TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Welcome welcome welcome to arm chair expert. I'm dad Shepherd. I'm joined by Sharon weekly. Hello.

Hello. This is Sharon weekly Actually, Aaron, I think I told you about this interview. It's oh, it's up there for me. It's true Yeah, we did talk quite a bit about him actually a K a Colston Baker from Cleveland, Ohio Cleveland, Ohio Denver Kuwait Africa this poor kid was never anywhere from within 15 minutes until he was in Cleveland I really really adored him.

I'm calling my kid. That's fine, right? Yeah, well no We called almost everyone kids even you know people that are our age or older kids The color dad kids. Yeah, grandpa kid machine gun Kelly is a rapper a musician and actor and a filmmaker in addition to mainstream Sellout a new tour that's happening with post-haste.

He also has a movie out called good morning M. Oh, you are an I and G Aaron I get what he's doing there. Oh, man Okay, I ended up really loving him and you and I both could relate Yeah, I look forward to the interview because the way you made him sound is he pretty much is us yes of owner boy Yes, one of my major like it could be maybe even the lead singer. It would make the most sense because he can sing right?

This is great. We just had a band long enough that finally I interviewed someone that could actually do all the stuff We just have a name once again. We've just named something yeah next interview with him. We'll bring it up Yeah, well share one of our new songs.

Okay, please enjoy machine gun Kelly You know what's good is the partuna tuna. Oh, I like that You can't listen Yeah, I think it must be a nod to that joke Look you just let that sit there and if the spirit moon G just grab that fucking letter Walk me through your thoughts right now. I see you taking in your environment. Yeah.

Oh in fact Do I have to move the couch out? I might have to lean back. I want to see if your head. Oh, that's right on the limit My thoughts are I was having nervous breakdowns like an intense way to describe it I was late because I was just like debating if I was gonna be like fuck the world today.

Oh I'm familiar with that. Totally. Oh my god. Yeah.

Do you know anything about me? I'm here. I love you as Frito and Adios. Oh, okay Thank you.

Do you know I'm a rage in addict you know, I don't know. Okay, so major fucking addict I haven't drank it on coke in 17 and a half years. I relapsed during quarantine on opiates went bonkers. Yeah, those are good Yeah, which one's Parker sets oxy 30s?

I had to stop at four so I could sleep so I do like eight to ten between Nine a.m. And four p.m. Did you ingest them or snort them? So here's the interesting thing I did both I did not find snorting them to be more impactful than eating them that made sense when people did oxy cotton because it was Time release it would make sense to snort it, but they're not time release I don't notice a big difference with that but when I would snort Adderall how the fuck did you know?

I'm gonna junkie look at me. I know everything great That's literally what I was leading to I was like but when I would snort Adderall or Vivance Holy shit That hit way different than just taking it like college do 1000 percent. Yeah, the same with cocaine like Stevie ray von he never snorted cocaine He always put it in his whiskey and he just drank cocaine. I drank it before.

Oh, yeah, I didn't know that Stevie right on to that It ate his stomach out. Yeah. Yeah, he got a hole in his stomach as you would damage your sinuses Well, it's a shit cuz you know Steve O has a fucking hole in his septum. I know Steve O Yeah, are you friends with Steve?

Yeah, definitely. Okay. He's wonderful. Yeah, that voice That's exactly it.

That's a good impersonation. You know how all them work as far as like the intake rate and all that kind of stuff I should probably know okay, so when you eat things that's gonna be the slowest right It's gonna absorb through your stomach lining. Okay, and then that's gonna take whatever it's gonna take whatever eight to twenty three minutes To start feeling something knows the second fastest right because it's going directly into your bloodstream through your sinuses Then of course upgrade from there is smoking it because your lungs are this huge surface area So if all that hits your lungs right before long snorting, okay? So in progression like if you track meth addicts, there's like these different predictive rates of their likelihood of being able to quit speed Right if you eat at or all that some level and people would eat decks that rain all those things if you snorted it goes up Right like it's gonna be harder to quit when you switch to smoking it and that really hits you fast That's why crack so much better than snorting cocaine because it's going into your lungs and all those things are putting into your blood really really quickly Right almost instantaneous right and then the apex is shooting it because now it's directly in your blood And then when people are shooting meth the rate of recovery is like single digit You know like once you've escalated to shooting it's fucking daunting.

That's just a little too Not weird, but like I don't know what listens in is like okay, so I'm just gonna skip straight to I don't think so well Hey, I wouldn't want that for anybody, but also this is the facts of how drugs work Yeah, that's good. And also I'm not glorifying it Look I have to quit everything clearly and I go to a meetings all the time and so I'm not a proponent of doing it But I will also add people at barriers are very interesting like how you control and addiction It's like you have berries. I won't do this. I won't do that generally they all wrote But I would say if you snorkel so meth like don't step up the smoking this is for real like unless you want to be a hardcore Attic that's never gonna get clean as much as you might want to step up smoking Don't smoke it and if you smoke it do not fucking shoot it You're probably never gonna get off it when you're in the middle of your addiction.

You don't care you do like people do have barriers You degree yeah for sure yeah, you still have a conscience It's almost like sometimes you get heightened self-awareness in the middle of it It's odd how self-aware you become when you're in a nebulous of a high it is right holy shit You have those lamps by the way. Oh, do you like these the little library lamps I was just talking about in movies. I was like every set designer has to use that that's right from seven Oh, did you know that's why I am this I'm sure we talked about it. Yeah, some sudden with Brad Pitt Yeah, he's in the library or Morgan Freeman's in the library and all the deaths have these sexy scene incredibly sexy And I was like I have to have one of those from that movie and you're right.

That's a really popular practical lighting to you Yeah, my dad used to have one of those in our house. Oh, yeah anyway back to crystal I agree with you you can be fucked up and you're evaluating like how far down the road am I right now? It's not like you're just feeling great and you're high Do you think you're really able to know what I'm trying to point out is like you might imagine once you get high and cook I don't give a fuck fuck the world what you're doing the whole time is like, okay? It's 2 a.m.

We're shutting this down at 3 and then 3 comes okay We're shutting it down at 4 and then we're shutting it down at 5 you're never just like throwing the keys out the window You actually are trying to in some weird way, and then it's just unraveling but you are aware of it Does that make sense? It doesn't I think I would agree like I get that but I guess my point is when you're in it the priority Becomes I need to maintain this feeling. Yeah, I'll go even further not having this feeling is gonna be so painful Exactly. Well you think on the calm down you start to be like, okay, I can't live like this I have to make a change that's actually fucked because you start to have hope for yourself while you're on the drug and you're coming down off You're like, you know what dude tomorrow This is my last time like I have to and then you start to kind of realize oh I'm running away This person or this person and I can't afford to lose my family over this and my attitude is worsened And you know my career is taking a hit because of this and all this is kind of honest with yourself on that Calm down right?

It's just about can you maintain that honesty because as soon as you wake up and you get back around it You're like, okay, fuck it I do think because I've seen a million people get sober try to get sober whatever over the last two decades Let's say you have one of those nights you wake up you fucking hate yourself I'm a piece of shit This I'm never gonna end but you happen to have a career and I have a career where it's like I can go then do something Where I can still do that thing really well people enjoyed it and everyone's pumped and then it resets myself the steam Well, I'm not that fuck home. I can still do that and those people are happy Well, what's fucked is when you do it even better when you're on the shit That's what's up because I'm like super social and I'm super funny and I'm way more outgoing and then you're like god Damn it like I was better on that Yes, the film that I came to talk about now wrote and directed I wonder if I wouldn't have been sober off of cocaine what that movie would have been There are some scenes I look at and I'm like god damn Well, this is so funny and so expressive and so opposite of what my image as a musician is to people if I had Justed one bump before the scene though. I would have been fucking Jim goddamn Carrie in this scene like oh you have those thoughts Sometimes I also know we wouldn't have got past week one because I would have just been fucking flipping out on everybody And I'm like you've been brilliant for 18 hours Oh, and then it would just been diminishing I want to put your mind it So generally you probably haven't heard this show But we talked for a while just fun when we bond over shit and people fall in love with you And then we do give some serious time to what you're here to promote Well, I think that's the issue with me is that people have the biggest misconception of me ever So I actually gravitate much more towards that than promoting something. Oh, yeah A lot of people don't realize there's a human behind the character that I'm also guilty of putting out there and the ethos Because the name that everyone knows from me is machine gun Kelly people don't even know that I actually have a real name or real feelings We're invulnerable see I can see that immediately can I just walk you through my knowledge of you first of all I'm 110 years old just to remind you remember that proper That's a good 30s joke, so I'm pretty out of touch now.

I have two little girls seven and nine You have what 12? Okay, so I'm kind of hit to whatever shit they're listening to but also a lot of stuff I just I'm off to lunch now And so I know machine gun Kelly and then as I'm researching you in two seconds of learning about you I'm like he's a vulnerable. I know you're fucking story. I see the whole nine I feel so similar to it.

You're from Cleveland. I'm from Detroit. There was a masculine vibe in these places That was fucking terrifying at times for sure and you're way too tall and I was way too tall And I immediately was like oh I already know I like this kid and I can relate so much to the Persona I was super punk rock I was punk rock because I wasn't gonna be on the football team It wasn't gonna work for me. I didn't have Jordan's I didn't have the camera I didn't have the shit so I was like alright well I'm checking out of that just so you guys know I'm not competing in that way because I know I can't succeed in that way So I'm punk I tried you know I just didn't fit I always compared so when I was in those cool when I look at the year before I started wrapping There's no signature in the yearbook and then I put on this persona and I was like really bold because I wasn't brought I didn't have parental figures my parental figures around TV So I was always like oh my god dragon ball Z like I want to be a super saying then it was like I want to be a Jedi And then I saw top then I was like I want to be ice man I want to be a maverick.

I'm gonna be a pilot. Yeah, and I did actually at 11 and I was like well Because a friend of mine was little his sister who was older was dating like a rave deed It's just like full-on 90s wave shit. Yeah, this is the warehouse district and this is in Denver not in college Oh, yes, but the warehouse district is Kaya Hoga River Yeah, that's where I have a coffee shop at actually Oh, right When I saw how I was no signatures and I saw that when I put on my like superhero mask as a rapper people were like Oh shit I like you for me It was a trick cuz what it told everyone around me is like this guy so confident again This is 91 no one would have leech won dreadlocks and it read his ultra confident, but it was smoke and mirrors Yeah, but it fucked me cuz you know still to this day I deal with hundreds of thousands I'm into the feels like millions of people who just are like he is so confident and all these things that like I feel okay Shitting on him. Yeah, they feel like they're punching up on you.

Yes. I feel okay saying this shit about him And I'm like, you know what dude? Yeah, have I been a dick in media? Sure.

Have I represented myself poorly sometimes? Yeah, absolutely is the camera on you when you were growing up because if it was I'm sure we would all have fucking little excerpts to talk about And it's like that's not you though I understand you're a lost young man or woman and you are like Figuring shit out and you talk your shit as does anybody but like for people to miss that whole shit on me as if I'm not like the same Like growing human being where I have feelings and I'm sensitive And I'm like you know what ten years later as a man though as a father of a teenager and a husband's this isn't me And also too, I'm 31 years old I know playing up 31 year olds who are still full pieces of shit and like are still figuring themselves out So like I'm kind of ahead of the game from a lot of people who are just putting on this facade of like well in public because of all These people that have fucked up I know to not do that, but in private There's still pieces of shit and private I'm actually a great human being and full of like Vulnerability and like just learning myself and the fact that people kind of are like oh, yeah, but he's machining on Kelly Dude, I've called some of these people I've literally been like this person in this band or this person who's a YouTube reviewer this person who felt like putting videos out there Like this is why MGK sucks or like it's disgusting and I've called them and like hey, man Why are you running a smear campaign on somebody who's just is making music? It's like it's what you would think that I was in politics and I was like being like no one was like crazy shit This is the saddest part. I said this to a guy I said hi This is machine on Kelly.

I see what you say and he goes did you say machine on Kelly or do you say this is Colson? He doesn't know Colson is okay. They don't know that I'm a person He literally verbatim goes. Oh bro like I didn't know you'd actually ever see this he compared me to target.

Okay. Well first of all I loved target. Yeah target was great. Yeah, we truly do he compared me to target in the sense He's like oh you're so big that I wouldn't think that okay Like target would ever give a shit about one customer saying that target sucks.

Yes. Yes. Well, okay Can I tell you something I heard recently in a meeting I did the things they say I did I'm not who they say I am I think that would sum up what you're saying. Absolutely.

Yeah, it's nice. Yes. Yes crazy Childhood at least on paper it is pretty well your parents were missionaries one of them was your father Mm-hmm and you guys went all over the world. Yeah, he would be in and I kind of learned a lot of this stuff after his death Oh, he died.

Yes. When did he die? Can I have two years ago? Okay, and I learned a lot of this stuff after I knew that he was really Traumatized from something that I haven't really even acknowledged to myself what it was but I learned what happened as a kid And it's actually not what anyone would think it's the most unique odd kid story I've ever heard because it's not like oh someone touched him It's nothing like what you would it's probably the most insane perpetuated by his parents.

No. Oh, okay His father died in front of him. Okay, but I haven't stopped to ever acknowledge what he went through He didn't talk about until he was on his death bed Well, no, and he was like this is what that was yeah And I was mind-blown and it made me understand so much of who and why he was dealing with what he was because I couldn't understand He slept for a lot of years when my mom had left to do her life major depression Yeah, for sure and alcohol he died of literals roses and he probably wasn't that old no yeah? He it was escapism which is classic with me as well.

So it was just like okay I can't keep this job. So like go to God. Yeah, yeah, go to mission. Oh, then okay get a job, but then can keep it Okay, go to God.

Yeah, so there will be moments like I remember in high school like he went to Kuwait for a year I was a freshman and I stayed with a friend of mine down the street in Cleveland right before I'm with the Cleveland at the end of freshman Year, okay nine to thirteen four to something. I was in Denver. Did you see me smart? Just now yeah, why because I got excited but I want you to know why I smart yeah Yeah, cuz if you ask me like where I grew up I'll tell you I grew up in my mind in this area of my life It was really only three years long saying so when you said that I got little goosebumps because I had crazy trauma up until We moved to this one-town Milford and I started six right there all the stepdad's were gone fucking sexual abuse Was gone all the shit was gone and I got there and I met my best friend who I'm still best friends with I became popular I was punk I skated this whole thing and so it was only three years, but that's my home when you just said Cleveland I was like oh yeah, that's the same thing I was much segment where I was like this is who I am and you just caught my Smirk what's no one would have caught your spidey senses are fucking 12 because if you're fucking childhood and I would have caught if You're I moved this much while I was talking I was like what's up?

I lose him you know he's out to get what's what happened right that was awesome. Yeah Yeah, I thought this mark and I Yeah, I just wanted you to know yeah, I moved around a bunch when I was a kid So like it was like Africa for the first six years of my life then Chicago for a couple months and blank blank blank blank blank Then then burn then yeah when I went to Cleveland I was kind of where I was like alright you know what I'm gonna get a job and I worked at the shopping cart boy at a grocery store and Started taking care of myself that was kind of where I was like alright This is growing up now. I'm deciding what my life for sure I was when I was like I'm taking music seriously and by that time I had been arrested and kind of knew what came with that and then friends of mine were getting arrested one and gone away for four years And you're like fuck it was still like 15 children Yeah, that's such a big percentage of your life totally and you like learn that world and you're like okay Well, maybe that's not for me, but they went to Kuwait for a year That's where I interrupt the Kuwait thing was interesting because that's what I was saying It would be like little points of time where you would just be like you know I'm going here and I'm like I'm not moving again because I spent my whole childhood moving and I like these friends So I'm not doing it like that's wrong for you to do that to me because I already sucked at being myself I was already like dude. I've been a loser in five towns like if I'm hitting in a sound you gotta let me like You gotta let me have some type of friend, you know what I mean the other towns were not Yeah, I finally got three dude So he went there and then that was during the war after September 11th So then I failed in school and word got to him Obviously like yo like he hasn't shown up for 36 days or some shit Yeah, and so he's like oh well like get your ass out to Kuwait And so then I moved to Kuwait I've been there it was just weird in that time dude because I would be walking on the street And I would be a fucking car with an Osama bin Laden flag With his face on the side of the car run through and there would be people on top of it like screaming You must felt really safe.

Yeah, exactly It was gnarly and I actually had got into an altercation there really quick what year was this? Oh four, I guess. Okay, this is the end of freshman year every freshman's dream. Yeah, exactly get over to quit It was with the wrong people that I got into it with and essentially we had been asked to leave the country Yeah, okay because you got into some funny business standing up for somebody actually in Kuwait There's Kuwaitis and then there's Indians and Indians on the minorities in Kuwait and a friend of mine was Indian There had just been an altercation at the Squallman's when American school It was like a melting pot of ex-paddy people Yeah, including people that live there and like all the Kuwaitis like a lot of them wanted to go to that school I think it was just a good school I don't know and I didn't go to the school much either, you know You do what you could I did with defending a friend and I guess I was defending it a friend against the wrong like someone who had Some juice yeah some royalty type of shit and we had been like excused from there And so when we got back that was obviously a blow because my dad was like I had a job Why would you fuck this up your dad's behavior to me sounds really familiar in that like a ton of addicts do this geographical Cure thing I won't be this way there.

Ah, I go to Alaska. I'm not gonna shoot dope there. I'm gonna be the person I want to be God, that's so funny. I still do that.

Yes. I literally thought to make it all time like if we go to Montana Yes, yeah, I mean is the problem see this behavior It even has a term now we've interviewed some psychiatrist who say it's called a geographic like oh that's a geographic So people will do they'll do people right like off. I had this relationship I'll live up to that by you go on that island. We just interviewed Josh Rowan.

He's sober and he and I both do it He's sitting in Venice. He's like I need to be on a ranch. She gets up to the ranch She's like I need some fucking rhythm. I gotta get back to the city.

It just never ends Oh, there'll be a place. I'll feel the way I want to feel a geographic So yeah, it sounds like your dad may be suffered from some when you had passed I went into our storage unit from when I was a kid I found a bunch of like what's the right word psychiatric or like like evaluation or something psychevells stuff like that He was struggling. Yeah for sure in mom. She left when you were nine It's cool cuz she's coming to visit me in a month.

Oh, that's great Yeah, we have our relationship that happened after my dad had passed and I was like I'm sick of not having answers and my cousin who I grew up with he was schizophrenic and he had lived with us Until he couldn't control outside and then he had to you know go to one of those places So again, I was just always kind of like left out of the loop of what was happening Yeah, I mean so my mom very educated. She's scientists I think if I was her to I'd be like I need a life like I'm not a geogratic. Yeah, yeah Yeah, I can't sink with your ship for sure. Yeah for sure So I used to say left but now I'm just like I think she just wanted to save herself.

Yeah, that's very generous by the way She wasn't in your life until recently again things that I had learned later like oh I had reached out a million Oh, I had came there and was kicked off the property I Pertrated differently in the early years of my career because I was angry of course I didn't know shit. I didn't know the fact that I know anything and you felt a bambi for sure Yeah, it's like you know what no You want to save yourself and now you can come into my life at a much better time because you know who was there for me Was my aunt who was my dad sister? And that's why I lived with a lot of the years and I wasn't there for her because I wasn't at it And I was so obsessed with a fast life and she died and I rushed her off the phone before she died She was there for me in every way possible and I was so selfish I was even able to appreciate what she was giving me So the fact that now I like a day where I can just have a conversation and like you know my mom is there to have that with me It's really nice turn around from what I was used to and it's probably better and worked out that way because it feels really nice to speak to someone I'm like holy shit. You guys are probably similar to similar to me and everyone says like we look exactly the same And she's 6'4 she is not 6'4 So that's the only gene that she doesn't I'm gonna guess to this is a wild guess But your dad who was struggling a ton and sure in his mind if he didn't have you he was gonna be dead in a Oh, for sure, so I bet his hold on you was like part of his own.

I'm gonna die basically if this good thing leaves My life I'll be unaccountable to everything and I'm dead. Oh, man. It's wild But you know what's fucking great though is like through all that that cauldron you have this fucking beautiful explosive artistic Creative wonderful side and then trying to learn that's your sword And so the downside is yeah, you might disappear for a few days And the upside is you might really see another person that's been through what you've been through and hold out your hand And they can see it in you and feel it in you and you can get people hope So it's like this crazy weapon you have and learning how to keep that other side dull in the other one sharp It's a fucking journey, you know, you seem disappointed in yourself a little bit. No, I was just having the urge I was like I need to smoke a cigarette.

Oh, you can yeah, that was a present. Oh, we open up Well, no, you know, it's funny is like I was realizing I had to sit dinner the other day and like other people there were like So bird-trying and I was just like no, I'm gonna do this with you. I'm gonna dip while you smoke It's gonna be great. Let me get you a little ashtray.

He'll take any excuse to dip So you gave him a gift did the first time I dipped my friends told me to swallow it And I just barfed until yeah, I couldn't oh it was the worst It's gnarly because it's fiberglass and it cuts into your bloodstream and it's really thank you How crazy is it that idiocracy was right? Oh? It literally is where we're all at it's kind of crazy because I rewatched it the other day It's a trip and that's also a Dax peeing in the background Yeah, that happens quite often. Okay, great You'll free to take it You know what?

I prefer you to shoot anything, but sort of that you can do it everyone. Yeah, that's just a trip dude I was watching it and I was like it was a joke but came to life my kind of funny story But that is my mom saw it. I did it like a month after I got home from shooting without a paddle that movie's so funny Well, you were the prime age for that movie. Oh, dude.

That was my shit when I came out. That was my shit My mom saw that she was excited. She's like, oh, you're really doing this then she saw it yeah I could see and she goes well not my favorite thing you've done and I'm like understandable and then she called me like two months later And she goes I just left Walmart and I think that movie might be brilliant that you're right She did a 180 it is it takes a second it does it does you got to come to it Stay tuned for more armchair expert if you dare Oh my god, this was so juicy. Where were we at before I end up pee?

Oh about your aunt and stuff Oh, she was great. She worked the target any album I had or any magazine I was on she had it at the front of her register If anybody looked like they were gonna buy a music CD or if they came with a CD I was back when I was able to see like all the messages people were saying they'd be like Dude, you're all work a target because I was buying this like notorious b.i.g. CD and like she like shoved your CD in the pile Was like you need to get my nephew's CD. So it was great.

It was actually across from have you been to Denver Oh, yeah, okay, so have you been a shotgun willies? No, it's like the strip club of strip clubs Okay, whenever I asked them what they've been a demo that's like for some reason the food's great there They also have like a weed dispensary attached to it. Oh my god It's like a one-stop shop, but it's in the parking lot of super target. Oh All the dancers they all knew my aunt.

Oh, no, yeah I grew up walking past that place my aunt worked a target for years. She would get my friends job there Whatever and we didn't have money for the bus which is how they always get it's like 65 cents for a one way But if we didn't have a couple quarters lane or we would just walk everywhere and I was back when like walking everywhere It was fun. Oh, it was fun kids and we didn't have phones you would just talk the whole time and you skate Yeah, I don't know what it was like for other kids But when you're like 10 to 11 tall and you see like gentlemen's club or something. Oh, you're just like what is that place?

It's like my name playboys in the woods or something. It's so funny. I would just drive by there without thinking anything But like as a kid you're like what is the mystery of yeah? What happens in there?

But yeah, so when I got directed all this stuff I was like I want to surprise my aunt and I like finally want to show her that or an F you made it and I pulled my tour bus up to target We picked her up and then after the show went to the shotgun wheel And we were like yes and the fucking funniest part was no one gave a shit that I had a I'm not right then they all just go dude. You're on and you're on She was kind of like a local celebrity. It was really cool because she was so passionate about machine gun kelick. Mmm It's really cool.

So I don't like strip clubs not anything moral But I don't want to be a customer. I want approval like I'm an approval junkie If I see a woman that I think is like high status or wouldn't like me and I can get her to like me That to me is the apex high of my life I think as a musician is kind of just part of the culture like there's somewhere It's like yes, we got to go and throw all this money and all that And I sometimes just want to go and like ask the DJ to play your music and be like doesn't make people vibe is a good dance to Is it fun like the people enjoy the environment when the song is playing? Yeah, but are you an approval junkie like me? Yes, but music approval Megan sent me this really sweet Jeff.

Yes, or they have some Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy And it says maybe you don't need the whole world to love you, you know, maybe you just need one person And I really just Stopped looking for approval for my personal self outside of my friends and her and my daughter I was kind of like, you know what? I'm actually good with this but as machine gun Kelly. Oh my god I'm like how the fuck are we not nominated for Grammy? There's this magazine and I won't say their name, but on my goal list every year I was like cover up this magazine cover this magazine and never got it and I go back to a quote that puff had told me years ago And it reminded me of it and I took it off my goal list for good I don't give a fuck anymore.

He goes when you stop giving a fuck about getting the cover to blank You will get the cover to blank home and gardening is the magazine home and gardening One day, you know what? I put all this emphasis on getting this number one album Like a second number one album with mainstream sellout Which was the album I put out a month ago and I was like because people were so thrown off that I made a guitar driven album Which is so shocking to me because of my very first album. There was literally a metal band featured on the first song So there's been gingerbread crumbs leading the whole time to this again I was so like shocked by people surprised like oh well, he got lucky with that number when I was like Well, I have to show them that you know two times isn't luck So like I have to get I have to get dude the fucking day I got it and they called me sick congrats you did it again you got a number one album I was so lonely and empty. You know what I do give a shit about is the fans that made it go number one It's cool as shit.

It's like a voter if you vote enough that your candidate wins Like dude every target was so out of the physical album people even have CD players anymore They were just buying it to be like y'all we're getting this fucking number one because they feel the same thing I'm one of them and so they're like we're gonna make this happen and they made it happen It was almost like this one was for them Do you think it's possible that in your mind the whole build up of I got to get another number one And in your mind that your goal and also in your mind, I'm gonna feel a certain way when that happens It was me being like I'll finally feel approved and I'll finally feel like whole whole and it's like dude That went number one and then you know what it turned into instead of the last stop on narrative It was like he switched on was a nice one and this one It's like popularity contest versus talent and I realized you just will always find something and all that matters as a people who don't Care about what other people are saying like I like this artist That's who I gave my attention to and that's was approval I care about is people who are actually fans of it and if they are happy then I am happy Yeah, hopefully we can accept that whatever thing we've triggered in somebody. It's really their thing We know you know these people yeah, it's about them when people rag on other people It tells me nothing about the other people it tells me everything about them Oh, you must have a fear of x-wines. Oh, you must be threatened by x-wines You must feel less than in this way. I relate I feel less than all the time I feel amasculated all the time I feel all these feelings and certain people bring that up in me and other people don't but you're almost Inanimate, you know, you're just a thing that's in the world and people are reacting to it and it has nothing to do with anyone Well, that's nice to hold on to I agree.

I'm just a vessel for their own frustration Yeah, or conversely all the people that went bald the album who adore you and love you you're a vessel for their joy Cool very cool. Probably the worst for you or I would be there's no reaction period to us That would be the scariest absolutely visible. That's what it means me That is the ultimate fear the last two I did sold out and I was like, but what about next to it I was like, you know what? I'm done.

I'm leaving my own blanket for the universe I want to create and I wake up in the middle of the night. We're losing all the listeners Yeah, based on nothing. I haven't checked out any of the data. I'm like, we're losing all of it It's just madness.

Yeah, and it's because I on some level apparently still don't think I really deserve it totally But that's because we've been molded to that. I was the clay we were molded with like grainy clay Yeah, it's super easy to fall apart and like you always need the people to keep building and solidifying your leg So that they don't fall out from under you. It's an interesting feeling I have where I'm so obsessive about being raw with the music That I'm playing I remember we went on stern and the night before they were like oh, we want you to do a cover And I was like I don't even know where to do whatever I was on zero sleep We did this all this press run and so early and then we had to go on at 4 30 a.m And so we got together in my friend's kitchen at two and we were like, oh, let's do aerial system of it down Like that'll be fun. Let's just damn it's weird with them and Foo Fighters on a European festival run for like a whole summer Couple years ago.

There's a song they have called Lost in Hollywood that I suggest anyone let's do it's just a great song And we go and just like any award shop I refuse to play it if I can't have my instrument live which for some reason when covid hit it became cool to like pre-record Everything or like lip sync your guitar. Okay. Wow. All right air guitar basically I always thought about I can't go home after like air playing my guitar and like watch that with my family and be like sick, right?

So I was like dude, I don't care if I play wrong nose. I don't care anything all I care about Is that I was doing it we go we do aerials and I have zero voice because we had been on this pressure I've on zero sleep. I'm also just like hey, we're just jamming to have fun with music and people just like this is a disgrace Oh, really? When I got here this morning, Robbie said oh, they played system of the dawn and sir And he was pumped yeah, but he might also know about it because of just banned people being like, but this is I'm like dude What am I fucking like acting like I'm like axle rose where it's like I'm supposed to hit all the notes that sir just like dude?

I'm not The goal if you want to listen to the record version just fucking listen to the record version also like god damn when guns and roses played Sweet child of mine like they aren't sounding like the record either like oh wait though That's great is that there's raw and they're actually doing it and we're in a day and age of where people like it should sound perfect Perfect isn't cool though. The only musician I've ever known that played shit perfect was Prince Listen you are halfway to self-actualization and enlightenment Which is you are at the place where you are willing to go be vulnerable and be flawed So that I commend because very few people are willing to do that and then the place you're not gonna get to is and who gives a fine fuck What anyone says after that is where I'm at. Oh, okay I got we can pick up something and go in front of an entire world and play something knowing that the world is gonna see in here And we don't give a shit you can't say that we're not all doing it. It's not manufactured Yeah, it's not manufactured with some of these bands where I'm like whoa dude You've been around for 20 years and you're on here air guitaring like that's actually not cool I would like to join one of those bands now that that's an option I think maybe I'll like join a band as a replacement guitarist like could with the way that they're doing like Santana or something He is one of the few that is like oh, I'm playing this shit.

He's not fucking no other shit Dude, I saw a certain person who were named as when I was like oh dude legend and the people go Oh, yeah, you guys are the only ones playing live at this one and I'm like what you know, it is funny He's like we've come to accept long ago that people are lip-syncing and often the explanations is that like the dancing so insane? There's no way they could be doing that dancing which is fine, but I'm not dancing No, I'm only saying we have a barrier between that which we've accepted and like if some guys fake drumming I'd be like What's the point of going to a show? Saying this is in front of live audiences. I thought this was just on TV I am speaking about award shows and right right right right yeah, because when covid happened that was when okay Well, we had to start doing late night shows at home Yeah, yeah because the studios were not but then when the stuff started coming back around everyone just stuck with that format He saves you a day rehearsal And we started saying no unless like we did the NHL all-star game And I was like I want to come in from a hundred feet on this platform and come down and they go oh like I don't think our technology will like pick your guitar up from a hundred feet So just like you know just doing I was like I'm not I'm not doing that We're gonna figure it out and so they put like receivers in the stands and it was live and it was the intention of what live music is supposed to be And it's not tailored from an engineer.

It's from my fingers But again, let me just really quickly walk you through I can tell you immediately off the top of my head who's never done that in their mind To you so Eric Clapton's ever seen you play it doesn't cross his mind Maybe heres enough note He doesn't really give a shit if you want very badly to be a guitar player on TV playing and you're asking yourself Why aren't I up there now this sense of injustice like why better than him right and I can sympathize with that when I was first acting I was obsessed with Vince Vaughn like I want to be Vince Vaughn I had a deep fear I couldn't be as good as him and all gossip about him And it's just all like I really wanted that and I was afraid maybe I couldn't have I was a victim of that too Where I would gossip about the people that I actually deep down respected one's public as I learned about you Like Eminem you loved right oh for sure number one dude growing up him and the I actually isn't the guy I'm talking about I'm speaking about kind of along the lines of what they're saying like you see somebody on What's gonna be up there? What up it's same shit So I actually empathize with people who would be quick to like tear me down We're secretly in 10 years from now You're gonna look back on this period I'm actually grateful that he was doing this shit And this was good for the scene because we all grow up and we realize like I was being a jackass and I shouldn't do that I'm guilty of that You know who I run into actually like once or twice a year has Vince Vaughn no She the first time I ran into him was at Tom Morello's birthday party Yeah, he and Favreau are really good friends with those dudes I was there and I go to the bar. I don't really know anybody there said have a birthday to Tom about in high school Even though you're famous and you have money it puts you right back in high school I don't know if I can relate to this drink for sure I'm there and then Chad Smith comes Shrummer over the chili peppers and then Vince Vaughn comes and he orders drink and then all three of us look at each other and we're like Hey, we're all tall. Oh, there you go We just have this drink together because we're the three tall guys here Yeah, talk at club and then we all take a shot and we all have a conversation and they didn't know who I was at the time And so we're all just you know sharing stories and then this is five years later after my first therapy session I've never been to therapy and I go to therapy and my girl picks me up and we walk across the street to dinner And then I hear like what the fuck is up?

I'm looking at Vince Vaughn So I always kind of run into Vince ever since then and we always relate on like tall guys So awesome It's interesting how when you're open and you're not closed and like negative how you realize like oh everyone's actually really nice And they just want to be accepted to yes I don't think Vince would mind me telling this but I was around a Tonks and my wife was working with them. I admired him. They know if it was gonna go bad whatever It was just kind of all this stuff. I didn't know if he liked me or hated me or whatever it was But after quite a lot of time together we were on a plane and I just happened to say oh yeah I had to go to the learning disabled room every day in elementary.

He's like oh shit. You were in those things And I was like yeah same and then the flagates open up. It's all the same. We're both compensating everything Like no one goes through life with everything just being fully perfect.

No one's born self actualized for sure But there's a lot of people that are giving off the impression that they are you know, yes, totally no one is no I'm a scared little kid that you're gonna call dumb and ugly okay first of all so I went through all your shit And I fucking really love it because again my whole life was punk rock I have all these opinions and then I'm prepared. Oh, there's a young dude who's an Punkish man and let's see yeah, and I love it I fucking love your music so the things that reminded me of like the bass in it reminds me of fugazi I love forgot waiting room. Oh dude when they hit that break at the beginning Oh, really great job breaker. Yeah, I was at all those shows when I was a kid cool So I was like oh base is like kind of really driving a lot of the shit And I love it and then the only other pop punk band I ever really loved was Blink 182 It's got like a blink thing.

It's got a little fugazi bass thing and then of course why be what told me to Travis plays drums in your band Yeah, well rook. He's like my little brother. He plays drums live when we go I was in blink and stuff like that But I got with Travis because I had tried to get this sound I was actually scared taking leaps into just it being as raw as it needed to be and Travis was really a good friend And he was a great person to just be like no You should feel good just having it be what it should be and the way he's stuff set up and like the sound that he can attain from it He was like the backbone of the body of ideas that I had brought to the table He's like the stable foundation and then it's a very safe place for you to experiment for sure knowing that he'll reel me back In so what it needs to be let's talk about the next one second best did you watch the documentary on HBO about him? I didn't know there was a documentary.

Oh my god. I watched it two days ago. Oh, I didn't know that existed Is it one of the music box ones? Yep?

Oh cool. Okay. I love DMX as well and as an addict It's just heartbreaking and claustrophobic and I'm like man the thing is so strong I watched it and I felt like I had relapsed. I've been around many times.

Oh, you have a bunch of times Okay, there's a lot of stuff we were talking about about like the geographic here or that I'm gonna have a family care or this and that and for him Jesus was so a part of that And so it was like so much about Jesus and and I've got the devil inside I mean all these things and I'm like oh, but but grab the real thing you have a fucking disease and the Lord's not involved in this really And let's get into it. Yeah, it's heartbreaking. I went the way. Yeah, you know him So it's probably super emotional dude super sincere the most he had got word that he was my favorite artist He's on my first album actually no kidding And I'd done multiple sessions with him and I caught him in his like upswing of when he was coming back and then I caught him on a Tail and I couldn't really tell what was going on with him, but he was so huge to me I was kind of scared to take the relationship to like friendly checking level, you know Not that it would have done anything He has like people like Swiss beats and all these people have been with him since day one That's his circle just what he meant to kids like me where he just gave us like runaway music and music to like, you know Feel like we could fight the world let it out I wish I would have pumped out a little bit more into his head no one can intervene in addiction like other than Himself actually was one of the few people that like publicly would stick up for me Yeah, you know, I remember like me and Charlin and we kind of had like an ill rapport before Charlin and I became cool And I remember like there was one time where he was like he's whack and you know DMX was like My dude tripping it was cool, you know his mom beat him relentlessly.

Mm-hmm. That's like his childhoods in the documentary She just wailed on him endlessly and so I see him I see a lot of boys like me I won't say you're this way, but I don't know but just broadcasting to the world like don't hurt me I'll fight back and you can just get trapped for life in it. Mm-hmm. Even when people aren't trying to hurt it That's my problem is like I still I'm at the grocery store and like I think somehow I'm nine So I'm gonna be in charge of what I do like I feel that way in my body like oh I got a fucking kill this human right now before they exert their will on me Yeah, and I'm miserable and powerless and I'm like oh I'm 47.

What am I doing? Yeah, and you have the ability to walk out of any situation where you didn't when you were young and now you do and it's like you have to Remember that yeah like hourly I got to remind myself and you can just feel that kind of DMX as well at least in this documentary Okay, so watch it. Yeah, it's really good Do you feel like because you grew up with such instability that you kind of seek even if it's subconscious like it's what's familiar to you? Yeah, like on purpose torment for sure.

Yeah, just kind of repeating the yeah, you know anyways I saw this thing You're talking about having little Wayne on mainstream sellout and then you're just absolute delight and then I was also thinking because you tell The story about he's supposed to be here at this time great. He's here now. He's in a car fuck Okay, everyone's looking now he's in a courtyard and then just obviously like endless patience because you know This is how this guy is brilliant. He's the opposite of us.

He's so grounded in who he is. Oh really? I don't know this but like my perception Yeah, what's so cool about it was that he was so grounded in knowing that like when I do come in this booth It's going to be the greatest thing you've ever heard and I am such an asset to this that like I will make Travis Barker Machine gun Kelly and whoever else is in that studio wait until I am good and ready to come in there Whereas I would be in that courtyard like checking in every 15 minutes. I go right in you guys good Yeah, just conviction and who he is.

Yes, it was a lesson watching now. I was like that is who you want to be? Yeah, it's a cure so sick the result from it was us walking away when he left and I was like That's what the best light of all time. This is crazy.

Yeah, and then the funny part to the story So he does that and it makes the song perfect And then you're like I'm gonna have the audacity to ask if he'll also be in this other song I think he'd be perfect for we got to turn this album in at 9 30 in the morning They hit me back and they go he's gonna skate till 7 a.m. And then uh We'll see if he can get it done. And so obviously I go to sleep and I set my alarm for like 8 30 Which is about an hour until the album has to be turned in I wake up There's a little inverse in my text messages. Can I try this?

I'm like his he said I'm like Travis did we have any luck and he sent it to me and he was like me It is I'm like oh my god. This is insane. Mmm. That's amazing.

Yeah, it is I need to know more about a little way because my guys are watch the Carter documentary Okay, it's on YouTube Just type in like the card up and watch a dude who is purely himself no matter if the president is like I need to see right now He is like I'll come down when I want right and out of arrogance just out of no who he is I'm recording this has all my attention This has all my energy my dude that I feel that way about is Jay Z having watched that documentary Or fade to black the best to watch him sit there sit there sit there sit there sit there Walking and do the rhymes with godfather references that are rhyming with this I'm like that's the closest thing we have to Shakespeare and plan to earth I think for sure yeah, I'm like taking a jet to Rick Rubens house and not feeling his pressure like I gotta make the bet He just like rolls in he goes I got 99 pounds, but a bitch and like what yeah, no paper No, nothing oh my god, and then the fact that a bitch isn't even what we think it's a dog. It's a drug dog Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I pulled over and the cop is like I'm gonna search your car He brings a drug dog, and he's like, you know, I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one Like that now so much. I mean already love no he's talking about a dog Wow my god I've had some debates because the dude who's now tied for me with Jay Z is Anderson pack.

Yeah, he's great I mean I love him too. I know you do. Yeah, I'm not gonna throw you under okay There's one song in particular. I love where it's if I call you a bitch, you know, so oh yeah Yeah, I actually was rehearsing in a space ever he was next door and before he walked out the door We were like goddamn that band sounds so good.

Yeah, and then he walked out. I'm like, oh, it was by the free nationals band They're great. Oh, I was like wow wait. There's a song with the bitches really heavily we've had a lot of Well before you judge a bitch now you gotta think about what the context is For me the attitude grounded level of like who he is to me would also be like Liam Gallagher Oh, you love Liam Gallagher just because he's like oh the greatest fuck you.

Yeah. Yeah. You're like wow. They ever look at his Twitter It's cool when they're huge and they act like they're still tweeting like they have three followers I think the thing you're attracted to is being unaffected by people now.

I sure you can't tell Jay Z shit There's a great interview where I think like him and Bartman We're having beef about who had the most money and they bring it up and instead of like a lot of us would have this emotional response or defensive He almost says it where you have to like turn it up and put your ear to the speaker. He's so calm He's like I mean that's not opinion. That's black and white we can see Confident not defensive it's great man, and then there's someone like Lena was just like the greatest Okay, the tour you are already on or when does that start in June? It's my first arena tour.

Oh my God What are your fears? What are your excitements about it? I'm actually fearless in this one every act I've opened for literally from like the tech nine to the Rick Ross is to the limb biscuits to the whoever it's a van's warp to Where it's a Foo Fighters, so I've done it and I've done it from little venues with 150 caps to venues with endless amounts People but we've never taken an arena which looks the same on the inside every time and had the Notion to be like okay We have to make this still feel like it felt when we were performing in those intimate places if there was a fear It'll be that but I saw that and we're gonna come with a really unique stage and like something that will feel close But even if it's far it's like what a spectacle to witness and you know also too I was notorious for spending all of my you know money on lights or product anything even in small places And they're like you're gonna make no money if you get this lighting rig and I'm like I don't care I got to do this they haven't got to see us with like real amounts of money to do a real production That's where we're stronger side is live. Okay now Do you know Colson has a very long acting resume you know that about him?

I would have maybe guess that you didn't but he was on that Show roadies that was with Luke who was in a Y'aller that's right you want to hear my Luke person actually okay? I was really good at doing it when I worked with him It's gotten shittier, but this is something he was I got one too. Okay, great. You go.

Oh, I love it Curvies I Kind of shit morning man Just exhausted and then as soon as the cameras on Luke will come to life. Do you want to do your own? Okay? Oh wow machine like telling us a great all of that name did you um, you guys so you're going on a big tour or a Arena are you afraid that maybe like um Wow?

I don't know people like fall out of the top yeah Like fall on the ground you must have seen bottle rockets. Yeah, there's a line I usually do if his to get me into his car he's like Holes and it was like long in such a great kitchen I think it's good. That's pretty good. How the fuck are you dealing with your tattoos?

Are you in a makeup chair for six hours? Yeah, that one's rough That stopped me from getting them and so now I'm resuming but that's what kept me from getting more is it's a beatdown And then your fucking arm looks like a kindle when they're done Right? It's all like one monochromatic crunchy and it cracks all day There's no hair but it's a shave all your hair It's a kindle with cracks all over it from the thick makeup, but yeah, how long are you in a makeup chair for that? Three to five hours.

Oh, I hope that a scientist listening who can help can't they just paint it out after oh cuz it's moving if you Sam perfectly still take a long time they could do it frame by frame yet have to be like your arena tour the budget would have to be off the Chars, yeah, okay So in addition to you having mainstream sellout and then the stadium to which is gonna be so much fun You also have a movie you've written and directed and you star in called good morning M. Oh, you are in as an in-morning and my first thought is like I know why I did it wrote directed acted I'm curious why you wanted to do that I didn't want to act in it I think that kind of just came from people around me like but like don't you just want to like play back also money wise I'm sure right like people that are gonna fund this one you in it Yeah, but I wrote and directed it was when I first started seeing Megan not even like dating Megan This is back when she was fine going a week without looking at her phone. Oh wow Yeah, super. Yeah, it's a long time to believe until you get around you see it You're the outside where you like oh, can you do this on your own?

She's like oh my phone's about the house and you're like what yeah It's like a superhero yeah, if you never spun a mean a week the story I would have that's exactly where the movie came from She goes I'm going to Europe actually to like evaluate Stonehenge. Oh, okay She's getting in touch with she was super interested in like the tuning of the rocks and she this is her dream She wants to essentially just explore and uncover secrets of the world. Okay, Indiana Indiana Fox making Jones making just and she left and when she left though She sent me this text and I lived in a house with all my friends at the time And I went to each level every room in the house and I was like guys What would you say this message means and every single person had a different piece of advice all of them were terrible sure like They led me to essentially just driving myself crazy. I mean let's just say your immediate assumption was like well This is over.

Yeah, exactly. We weren't dating so it's not break up text It's like a like this isn't going any further. Yes. Yeah, it didn't go your way and then she didn't take her phone Still to this day.

We'll go on trips and she won't bring her phone. Oh my god She is very adamant and she's not wrong that the phone is a disease. Oh, so she is super good being like I don't have any social media on my phone I don't have any interest in like what other people have to say that's why she always is so grounded because I'll be like Can you believe this is going viral? She's like I can't because I don't know and I don't care and you're amazing and I don't know what anyone has to say her cares And that's advice for all of us on how to live a happy life Is just see what's in front of you.

So I go I tell everybody well. This is a disaster I don't know why this is happening. I text her a million times Oh, Jesus call a million times like what is this man like decode this and like get a response It's a week in I've now went on eight cul-de-sacs walk with Travis who was the only person who was actually like dude Like she's the grown woman like you're good if you're seeing each other like everything good and I'm in my head like no We're not look at this and then I imagine to you're like picking up all these like clues you had missed all right told We go when I paid for the bill she got mad. I'm scrolling up doing the full-time conversation And so I then randomly is like I need to like write this and I'm not gonna write in a song this situation is crazy I started writing this movie and the reason why I was called good morning with you was essentially like how you can just take a Simple phrase or a sentence and like your text from your girl was good morning in the movie and you end up finding out It's a typo spoiler, but like you know the obstacles you created around this one thing and how reactive us as men are just one extra Letter chasing trajectory our entire day And there's a tarot card that intros the movie because that was actually what I got from her because she's very spiritual and all those Things that were unfamiliar to me in writing the movie I remember I went to the tarot deck and I was like show me what card should be the card and I drew a Of swords and I was like I don't know this card like what is that you look it up?

And the swords all represent obstacles that you create for yourself Oh wow So that's the point of the tarot card flashes very quickly in the movie But everything in the movie if it is mentioned it all comes back around at some point which is cool So everything that someone says it does it all comes back around and that's like fun for a few Watch it a couple times and you smoke a lot of weed and I smoke a lot We also like me like also the first draft of that fucking trip were terrible They were like they were so like crazy like when I was on high and I'd read it back I was like why did the witch come up at Melzditer and go choose why? We just did not end up using it all but we're so bad Stay tuned for more armature expert if you dare Like I tell you one bit. I loved I don't think I've made a movie without throwing up and it's one my favorite things It's throwing out the intro to the character. He's looking through a microwave Oh god.

I love that shot It's so good the cameras in the microwave looking out at it Do just trying to wait patiently in the camera spinning right on the little rotating thing and just when I thought I was like okay Well, I got this bit where are we still here? I want to just fucking puke all over my god. Oh my god That one got me. I was laughing so hard.

I was mad I hadn't thought to ever come up any spaghetti and cereal. It's like a kind of a Ode to gummo I love gum all the things that we were putting in there harmony Korean Yeah, just cool little shit that we were like we should just do a little oh to that I don't think anyone catch it, but that guy who threw up he actually wrote and directed it with me So I had texted him when I started writing the movie and I didn't realize I did this But I said hey, you want to come write this movie and the only thing came over was because it came at 11 11 He was doing something else and he was like, you know what like weird sign I'll just go over there no kid and thank God he came over we were like his name is London Clash He's the star of this TV show that everyone loves but he ruined the finale a supermarket best song on the album What's that London calling? Oh my god? Well the reason why was because I had been hit by a double-decker bus in real life And you know they have the song that's a smith and if a double-decker bus So we were just in that zone of just all the UK band whatever So we were kind of just going through our rolodex because it was at one point London Smith Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we got to London because we just ran a bunch of names and we're like which ones best I want to know about getting hit by a that was in 2013 in Manchester I was thinking man Chester looking for weed.

We've got three x-rays x-ray MRI and CAT scan all for internal bleep any opiates all of them Oh, okay great They kept calling me super make like a superman would get hit by a bus and just stand there I went to x-rays No, turn away like that can't be possible like you spider web the bus and they sent me to MRI when I went to MRI room They're like oh Superman I guess like the hospital all knew like this dude got hit by a bus and like you were fine I was fine in the bus driver's dead Yeah, I got you by a double-decker buses my pants ripped I don't remember this part, but I manager at the time was with me and he was like yeah You stood up and just like yelled at the bus driver to keep going like get out of here like just get out of here Like I was in like a can't cuss yeah talk about the apex of codependency So it's like fuck I step in front of this buzz now this guy's in trouble just fucking go Run dude, I'm not gonna call the guy So this is on we thought of that and then it was London Smith and then it got to London clash Sorry from the supermarket slipped your it's still the double-decker damage And yeah the movie goes and he has all these friends that lead him down this crazy journey through this one day because I love movies I happen in one day. Yeah, me too.

For some reason fun. Yeah, you have a favorite that is one one day. I love super bad There's a lot of good one day. Yeah.

Yeah almost real-time movies Yeah, and we also couldn't extend the budget to get wardrobe for multiple days So you know we had to just stick with one we had no cast seven days before oh because I was shooting another movie Which is called Taurus the dark air can I was just in that and I was like it'll be fine It'll be fine and the finances were like homie like we're canceling this movie like you have no cast and at the last minute We asked every favorite possible to get on so we end up getting this insane cast Pete Davidson Megan Fox The person I want to talk most about I think he's the actor I'm very most excited about in life currently is Gator. We got him right before we started shooting. Okay, Dave is right Yeah, not only is it brilliant, but Gator's the real deal. He's really was a hype man Yes, and then his acting is insane the whole bipolar episode one of the best TV episodes of all time and then also the season finale Yes, he's so fucking good.

Yeah, it's rare that it's what I want's the word for it It's just like oh someone's just so beautiful that they couldn't help but be perfect Like you didn't need anything He's just a gem well mods on the guy who I directed the movie with he knew Gator from back in the day because he used to Hike for Travis McCoy from Jim class hero Or he was his artist and I used to hiker like Tiger and any other group with school But a lot of the people we had cast it through like just seen kid shit like oh hit up your home He hit up this and I was a fan of him from Dave obviously Yeah, so he agreed to do it he came on and we were like okay Well, you're Gator on this show what should we do and we were like I'll do your rave kid We gave him like the raver buns the Rick jeans we took him outside of Gator Yeah, yeah, which was fun. He's just so good. He's great I remember there was certain things that I had to be like okay But you're not Gator in this though because I remember there was one line when he's filling in as Batman because London has an audition That the whole day takes place around like this is a huge day for you bombed on this finale But like people see something in you on this powerful agent. I got you this audition coming back in the Asian She said so their legs completely spread apart the entire scene So it's blocked by it's Gator's knee and she was like I really want to play this character like this and she gets this meeting for him But he's like my girlfriend is like missing and breaking up with me I have to go find out and so he chooses to go find her He was like well, I'm gonna fill in and so he shows up at this meeting But you know he's a raver DJ so he has one of those masks and this is kind of like us just kind of laughing at the whole Like DJ with the master And so he goes to fill in and because he's like well Batman wears a mask So this will actually fool the director enough and I'm gonna sit down and so he goes to sit down and he has this line That we wrote where you're like who's dick do I gotta suck to get some pancakes around here?

Batman he's not an actor he doesn't know what to do Sit down he's like kind of like throwing his eye and I remember Gator did not want to say that line Oh, yeah, and I was like but remember you're not Gator your Leo who's just goofy and like doing whatever he can to get his friend And like he would say this line. Yep. Yeah, and it was cool because we took a break for a second We had smoked and we're like, you know, if you don't want to do it Fuck it and he had this moment. He was like the election and he fucking sat down.

He was like Who's dick do I gotta suck to get some pancake around here? The director was difficult to because we wouldn't have cast members until the day Like I remember I made them rent out van eyes airport for a four-hour period because I was like there's going to be an athlete That is going to punch London in her up until the day that it was shooting we kept lying to them I was like yeah I got Steph Curry dude, and then they would reach out and they'd be like Steph Curry has no idea that this happening I'm like, okay. Yeah, I know but we got no I got LeBron James And so they're like dude we fucking rented out van eyes airport. They're better be a goddamn actor athlete somebody there Yeah, we're panicking it tonight before and I'm like mod like I've reached out to every athlete I know that you have to give me a suggestion.

He's like shit Dude, you know, I don't know any athletes only when I know is the one that's tattooed on my arm He has Dennis Robin And I go perfect done and I hit Dennis Robin on he's like I'll come but you guys have to pick me up on Rolls Royce No problem. We send him a fucking Rolls Royce Orange County halfway through the Rolls Royce owner calls us and he's like Dennis Robin smoking a fucking cigar in my Rolls Royce I'm like And he gets out and my favorite thing my like goes up to him and he's like dude check it out He shows him the denture I'm gonna go I see it blows right past most rock star shot ever see I see it We're like alright. We got some wardrobe for you like what do you mean? I'm already in close he's like in this wrinkled white t-shirt and I'm like yeah, yeah great Yeah, we get him in there he does it knocks it out But every day was kind of like that whenever there be a new cast member There wouldn't actually be one until like an hour before we get out Thank God we got so and so printing the Colesheet morning up exactly or like it would just be like mystery woman 7 a.m And we would just get whoever we could we edited it on to her backstage.

No kidding. Yes. Well fly the editor out He's great his name's a jay. He did it's like a rest of development and a couple thing like that So I very unconventionally I'm sure to his work process was like dude meet me an Arkansas setup backstage and like he would literally be backstage and we'd have some speakers And we'd be going through and we do it when I went to propose to Megan we were still finishing editing So like I was a Dominican Republic ducking off to secret rooms for like three hour editing sessions on zoom being like okay This is this isn't dude It was daunting and then my friends scored at Bayes and Slim there in my band actually Oh, how cool and that was really important to me because I feel like as a musician people are gonna look at the music in the movie A lot of your stuff's in there.

Yeah, that was also per studio requests There was like if we're getting you were getting some of that music So I was like fair and then we did an original song for called good morning with you and you cool.

Yeah, there's a skit on my album that he's not called the wall of fame And he's always on my album's doing like skits and that was right after we met up with my daughter and him They love each other and he's like where do you want to go to dinner? And she said a place and he's like we're going in and out and so we go to now and we're sitting outside on the table And we're looking at this car as a girl and a guy and the dude we can read his lips and his whole body gestures And he's behind the windshield clearly like babe if you weren't here, I'd like I'd go fuck them up for no reason It's just like zero reason because she's like, oh, this is cool. Look it's them And then he was like dude. He's doing the arms and the angry neck vein And we were just like eating a burger with my kid like those things Yeah, well, I'm gonna give you a little bit of Wilson like he nailed this perfectly once he said it I realized oh god I've heard this so many times so if you're you or Pete or myself in a previous life I'm gonna have to go up to a bar.

What'll happen is dudes will have been spending the entire night buying someone drinks Trying to chat them up And then you're there and they don't have their attention anymore and they're pissed so Luke told me He's like how many times the guys come up to you at bars and say yeah, I don't know the fuck you are my girlfriend seems to know who you are And I'm like, oh my god dude.

Yeah Now my favorite part of the show the fact check with my soulmate Monica Padman Okay, I got nervous for you No, what's good? What could be more stressful than a computer breaking when your whole life is the computer nothing not one thing not a death in the family Well, this is stressful. I'm doing doing doing segue. Oh a little bit forced.

Okay. I had a crazy dream. Okay, great So I was in high school and it's in the middle of the day and they like sprung this contest on us that If you stayed at school for 24 hours, we get paid 80 bucks Okay, great and then 30 bucks more per 30 minutes you added on oh my gosh, so that's what you're going for Well, yeah, that's where the money's at 24 hours like living there that I guess you know, let me do the quick math Okay, so that's 48 times 30. That's 1200 then to 40 that's 1480 dollars versus the 80 dollars up front So the first 24 you make a the second you would make exactly Wow, that's huge I don't think they thought it through they probably have you on a fast math skills on the team Mm-hmm, but it was like kind of squid game they would throw stuff out as we get worse and worse, you know It wanted people drop out it was like a psychological experiment.

They were doing we couldn't go Like it was the middle of the day at two o'clock Let's say and they sprung this contest you couldn't go home to like even get stuff. Okay, you're there stuff you had clock starts now Yeah, huh one thing that they said a day in or something like okay You can only sleep next to people who are wearing the same color closes you. Okay, not very metaphorical No, and then okay, and then I was trying to take a shower so they had like you needed to shower in that 24 hours No, no, I was like past the original 24 hours. I was still there.

Okay, so you fast-forwarded a bunch Sorry, you're like, you know, I can't leave it starts now, but then you're at the end okay So you're there you'd have anything I've been full happened in the first 24 hours mainly the clothing Okay, okay, and then I was trying to take a shower and then like one guy had been there for eight years somehow I was rich fast-mouthed I can't even do it. I think that was like kind of squid games eat too like an old person there Oh, yeah, I don't know and our squid game. Yeah, I went into the bathrooms with the showers and they're all nasty You know, there's nothing goes on the communal show Oh, they were disgusting and then there was one that looked clean But then there's a teeny tiny piece of poop on the floor. Oh, okay So it was like fuck and so the whole time I'm showering.

I'm just like staring at this like don't accidentally step in oh, it was so Stressful I was so stressed really quick to just I would opt to not shower if it was gonna be communal I don't even their day, but you what you were like I got to shower I had to maybe it was required I remember this, you know when I woke up. I was like, oh, I'm so glad that was a dream. Oh, I Hadn't poop in the bed. Okay, I mean it was a little poop in the bed or on the floor No, thank God.

No, I just was like, oh, that was awful and I was like people who camp they're choosing that They're choosing that life. So yes, and this is what boggles me about camping anywhere But in areas with like so all of our camping trips were either to a river or like and as a kid I just fucking swam because you go in those those camp showers. It's just so wet in there This is one of my big big and you know this about me. I got phobia.

Sure. I can't stand having my feet on a wet ground Indoors so even like at an indoor pool. I hate walking along the side of the pool. Yeah, it feels so communal It doesn't it's a yeah, it's a musty smell in there Yes, I got so yeah, when I find out people go camping like in the desert or here and there I think you got a water.

What are you gonna do? Then you're stuck in those showers. I know I'll never when I think of prison my number one thing is like oh my god Your only option is to guys are they're having accidents in the showers. No one gives a shit They've already proven they don't give a fuck about the rules of society So they got to go in the shower tough shit.

They do they just push I know that's why it probably happened in this shower that I was in Someone before let up who I let it fart out. No some poop. Uh-huh guys snuck up on them Okay, so other force transition that makes me think of I just spent the whole week with Aaron. Uh-huh.

Oh, what a glorious Say taste great. It's so much fun. We sing the same songs over and over and over and over You know as I'm come up. I'm saying I'm a song about kuson.

I'm gonna say it started with me just saying it one time I'm saying I'm a song about kuson and I heard Aaron go it's like I say on the mountain And you just add a little bit of a real world I say when you're saying is my kuson and That evolved into that's not the point of story Whatever what occurred to me is he's the only male in my life that I'll be naked around Cuz we were cheering a room the last three days And if I'd like change to go down to the gym or whatever I'd just be naked in front of them and I just I'm not I don't do that in front of dudes Yeah, that's interesting and then he too I saw his penis a few times sure and Old school. I mean not old school. It's just old hat. I you know I've seen it a million.

I don't even notice it is what I'm saying Yeah, and then the mind was that something like that Anyways, you've just been doing it since you were little so it's all I know but also there's been this huge gap Where I haven't been nude around any man for decades. Yeah, I can't think of a time of a nude and maybe in front of Eric for a half Second and hot yoga, but I don't even think then I think he was nude and I wasn't and I thought why he's just so fine Oh, I see yeah, that's kind of surprising cuz you're so free and you love men's bodies that like it's surprising that you haven't been Newed around more men. I will I don't care about another dude's nude. I'm not trying to be nude in front of a dude Maybe it's my own baggage of what I know.

Yeah. Oh, but ding ding ding dingles. So the last two days of the trip We were in Orlando. I had a job in Orlando and so I said well fuck we're in Orlando Should we go to Disney World?

Yeah, it's hot as Hades there and I said well, let's get a guy. It's expensive Yeah, I mean it's exactly and we just did it right? I'm giving Disney all the money seriously. It starts with a text from Caitlin Caitlin's her name just normal text Okay, I mean you had front of the hotel at I think 11 we departed so we go out there and we get in the car and I don't know Something very organically led to me saying I was on this show parenthood and then she said yeah That's my favorite show ever mind you she was so cool right out of the gates like you know my thing is neediness I have a hard time with needing us.

We had also a great guide here in Disneyland We absolutely did but my thing is like I'm very uncomfortable run neediness. She's just was cool She was from the East Coast. She's like upstate New York just real fucking straightforward could tell she was really smart So she said oh, I loved parenthood and I go oh my god, okay great You kept pretty quiet about that and she goes yeah And I go have you heard the podcast and she goes let's just say that it was all I could do not to say hi best for an air and weekly We got my eyes And then she went on to say that they have like they used to have a wish list there if you were a guide and you kind of got to put a Dart in three celebrities and so they don't have it anymore But also that's kind of expressed between them all well hers. I'm in there.

That's amazing It was amazing and Marley Matlin was her other who guess what she got to do it to her with her wow We had the best time whether she was incredible great shout out for her She's living in the sin I guess I brought that up. I'm like what are the odds that you wanted Marley and me and then we got here It's kind of crazy Marley and me Marley and me. Oh my gosh. I that's really what a third person was Jennifer Aniston or Marley the dog Oh wow, I friend on roosteroth that movie.

Oh, it's a very sweet movie. It's a great movie I haven't seen it, but I know if Don wrote it. It's great. I don't even like dogs and it was sad Yeah, it's a cute golden retriever like a light like a blonde retriever.

Well, yeah I'll be boiler yeah, it's like from like 2000 so if you haven't seen it yet I do think it's really funny when people like throw up fucking fit over like something that was like Years ago. Yeah, exactly. Hey, I think the whole world was a wait five years for you to watch this thing Yeah, it's pretty arrogant. Yeah, narcissistic.

Oh, okay. Marley was 2008 still quite a long time. Yeah 14 years She asked me to do some fast math. Oh, yes.

Wow. Yeah, great. What did you do? I know but like oh well, we were doing like I get obsessed.

You know me a little greedy pig and I'm a bean counter at heart I'm gonna count at heart and nothing accounts are greedy pigs, but I am an accountant at heart So I'm asking her how many folks come in here average ticket prize? Oh, how many tours you do today, boy? I just I can't help but add up how much they're making a day Yeah, and it's outstanding. That's like my that's very my dad.

He does that too. He's very interested in that Element of stuff like I was home and we were watching Stanley Tucci's show is back on. Yep. I love that show so much and It's great.

It's so good. I know cuz it's him and on wrist roll Marley. I know they're great Well, I've seen all of season one of Stanley show love it mouth salivating That's what we want and then the season two just started premier So my mom and my dad and I watched it my mom had had fun So she was listening to the trauma but my dad and I watched and there was a whole portion where they're Truffle hunters. Mmm the peggies and doggies.

Yeah, exactly. So white truffles I didn't know this you can't manufacture them. You can't like grow them You can black truffles but you as China's doing and then shipping them to the markets in Italy and they don't taste the same Anyways, so I was 60 minutes on that. Oh, okay, but the white truffle you can't do that with so you're just find them in the earth It's very rare for the man.

Oh, and then there was an auction for one It was two pounds Uh-huh, and when the guy brought it in he dropped it on the floor. Oh wonderful. That's all we want He done another floor piece fell off probably a kid. No, like a teeny piece or something Oh, not like a half pound of it.

I want to guess how much they that went for a two pound white truffle Did they convert it for us? It was in euros. Do you know the price? I forget?

I think I remember I want to say it went for 2300 bucks 2300 yeah, it was like a hundred and eighty thousand dollars. What? Yeah, why why? Because they're so rare you can make that many meals out of it.

Maybe it was a hundred or I think it was a hundred fifty or eighty Something like that. Anyway, they found a Ferrari on the ground honest to God and then it fell on the floor What a bozo poor guy or girl My dad was like how are they doing this because even if you shave some off and put it on your pasta That's two thousand dollars. That's what I'm trying to understand it. Okay, so when we were at the faint We got I one time at on the French laundry and I think I've already told the story I got like a truffle add-on and the dude came over to the table and he was wearing white gloves and was in this large mahogany Box and they opened up the box.

That's what I'm basing the price on Mmm black trophy. Okay, but he held up one and it was 2300 It looked like it had to avoid too much. So that's why I'm basing it on But anyways, he had white gloves and it was in this beautiful mahogany box And then as he was about to open it I said what if he's about to shoot someone for our amusement like if that expensive restaurant like you could pick a guest But then he shaved it and he was saying how they come around like they come to the restaurant They have different offerings and yeah each one's individually priced. It's a weird world so weird I love that truffle taste though.

I do too. We just like went down a rabbit hole My dad has very simple tastes and he's proud of that like he was watching and he was like ooh like to most things He said oh, and then he said I'm really glad I don't like expensive foods. Isn't it funny? Yeah Well, and it's a generational thing which is like when we talked about it on here before the economy's transitioned So it's like most people just they say money to buy objects.

Yeah, and younger generations say money to buy experiences Yeah, so like yes, I would have agreed with your dad before like think I don't know this fucking habit I blow my money on eating yeah, but then of course I remember this range laundry thing more than I remember whatever dumb thing I bought that yeah, you know, I will something like you know, there's like brain and stuff. There are definitely things on it That's like it will for me to be a brain testicles. Yeah, mmm vulva No, no needs well everyone's eating testicles. I don't know why is that part of massage in Aztec I don't know if you're gonna be eating the reproductive parts of a man I don't know why I'm in it in the ovaries.

It's a device It's you big listen to device, right? It's in all these movies it is he wasn't lying. It's in most movies Okay, you said we interviewed a psychiatrist and called it a geographic. Yeah, I was trying to think and I did some googling I couldn't find it on a Lemke might have said geographic.

I thought maybe it was from BJ fog when he talks about habits There are like certain things people will do to change a habit. Okay, one is I don't know either. I don't know if I made it up and if I did it's a cool thing. It is cool We can make it a thing.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's a geographic. That's not gonna work You said you've never made a movie without throwing up, but there wasn't any throwing up in brothers justice or hit and run, right?

There wasn't chips, obviously there was a ton of chips. There was in the judge. Did I not throw up in it and run? I could have saw I did I would brush my teeth until I gag I kept that in that is really how I brush my teeth And I was overly proud of the fact that like I left that in yeah I've never been watching a movie in the character was rushing.

They fucking gagged. I kind of like that. Yeah, very real But brothers just a snow. Oh That's too busy with those crotch shots.

I was more focused on the bouncing testicles back to ding ding ding ding. Yeah, that was kind of like your crotch period Yeah, that was I guess I moved into teeth brushing period and then vomiting. Oh, there's two news stories We have to just I didn't know if you wanted to wait no people will be pulling their hair out Okay, one is there's a great article was in the New York Times. I can look there because this is one the thing I sent you yeah, New York Times about two dolphins they were playing in Bolivia They're swimming side by side and they had an anaconda in their mouth.

Yeah, already a novel very rare incredible thing They didn't know whether they even hunted those there's supposed to be apex predator those anacondas And then also deeper in the article. It's all about their erect penises They're both so aroused yeah, and then talked about how they would generally they try to have sex with a whale's blowhole like a little whale They got and then they think maybe they're trying to sex with the fucking anaconda They were rubbing their penises against it anyways. It just confirmed right in writing in the New York Times They are the pervious creatures out there. They are it's wonderful.

What did you actually I took a quote? Yeah, it was something else from the photos was notable the male dolphins erect penises You don't see that often in New York Times. It was great. Okay, secondly and we're hoping to do a little follow up about this a Guy landed a plane with no training.

That's right the pilot became incapacitated in a civilian passenger a civilian passenger a layperson a dumb dumb No, I'm not saying no obviously not a very skilled person and he first time ever behind the yoke set it down safely So many people were very excited for you. Yes, they were I think it ends our debate because the odds that that guy is more Mechanically inclined than me like has more driving passion. We don't know we don't know him. Dax.

We don't know him yet Yeah, but listen also I will say and this is something we haven't thought about in this discussion Most of the accolades are going to the air traffic controller and I understand that of course they have to tell you how to land it He did the haul the work. Yes, which I anticipate I don't think I'm gonna get behind the the yoke of a 727 and figure out how to put it on the ground Okay, I know they're gonna be talking to me I know that I'm saying I'm the best person to talk through that because I don't get I don't lose my cool And I know about all the stuff knowing someone's walking you through I will agree with you. Okay, okay? Okay, thank you, but you just on your own up there with no person walking you I mean you want to hear the truth You think you can do it either way.

I do think I understand it. Okay. Here's what I think I understand Okay, I've got the yoke in my hands, right? You can see that is always cold.

Yeah, the yoke Okay, you know that and I didn't know that right and so I got the yoke in my hand and if I turn to the right Activates the flaps on the opposite wing and it drops it. So that's that's making yourself go Tilty-lifty left-tilty right- curvy swabby if I push in on the yoke It actually on the maybe aileron. I think it's called the back wing It'll tilt that flap which will bring the back end up and it'll send it down. Uh-huh.

So if I push in it's gonna lower I'm gonna turn left and right. It's gonna tilty-tilty. I pull back. It's gonna put the nose up in the air, right?

So now what we have our hands is throttle control. That's the last step So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna aim another runway tilty-tilty-tilty-boa and I'm gonna be pushing in on the yoke nose diving nose diving I'm also gonna be coming off the throttle. I'm gonna be trying to lose some speed. Okay, Foltarado is forward and pretty positive.

Oh, like about and so if I'm pulling back as I pull back I'm gonna lose altitude as well both my point down is gonna lose altitude and then when I come off the gas It's gonna lose altitude less propulsion less lift. Okay, and what I'm ideally trying to get to is that point where right when we are About to nose dive and hit the nose on the runway I know pull back on the yoke I flatten it out and then I drop the strength of the motors and it's gonna kill all the lift So it's gonna be roughly and we're gonna stand down But I'm gonna have as close enough to the ground that when we bang down And then I drop them fucking throttles all the way to the ground and then I push I'm pretty sure the foot pedals I just push as hard as I can and now I'm on the brakes. This is a lot of doing any research. I'm sure people comment on whether So I kind of think I could do all those things.

Okay, I might have to like circle around a few times Okay, I was just about to say I think think ding ding Disneyland. There was a ride where you were doing this You were driving well you and david david was terrible. Oh my god. I was so sick in that ride I had just closed my eyes and and just sit.

That's a rough ride to be a passenger I did not enjoy it when we were planning out who was gonna do what I was like I want dax to I'm the part that makes you sick. Yeah, so you know, I did feel like I wanted that to be you Yeah, so that's a feather. Yeah, thank you. Anyway, so I think I can do it Robin.

I hated that ride. Yeah, it was not great Talk about movies that take place in one day. Mm. Yeah, this is a movie heavy.

Oh good. Okay, ready? Yeah clerks american graffiti Groundhog day airplane airplane exclamation. Hold on groundhog's day is that's a cheat is it?

Yeah, because It's like he lives like 150 days. I know but it's the same day. It is groundhog's day. You're right.

Okay, you're right. Okay before sunrise Before sunset mmm great link later movie. Yes, fairs bueller's day off Seminole one day movie night of the living dead dr. Strange love do the right thing.

It's like magnolia Oh, baby. I like it. That was a shorter list than my last one. There were no reds.

Okay. Yeah much more manageable Yeah, only the hits there. Oh my god for something. I was like what the hell but look Was that all stills from oh, you know what fuck the reds are probably youtube videos.

Oh where you could have looked at the lamps Do you want to see the lamps from seven? Mm-hmm? Good sound design. Oh good.

I know it makes me watch it. It's listen to sound design So ominous. I want to check it out. Mm-hmm.

Oh, look at those green lamps That's the high watermark for the green lamp because one was in the right in the right prominent the frame. Oh, it's everywhere Oh, we love it. Let me hear him talk once because I sometimes think I can do him No, never understand no his is deep like it's And I can't do him. I thought I could but I can't it's a little just more okay.

That's my I can't do it Well, there's a reason right there's a reason his voice is making trillions. Uh-huh. Yeah best near here in the business Shawshank what a narration happening today. No, no, of course, I'd like to make Oh born identity.

Yeah, let's just see if it shirts on You look so young Put a lot of head on these clips like a long time before the lamp. Oh, I see it. Oh, one two. Yeah, that was it Oh, wow, someone really went through that one with a fine-tooth comb.

Well, I don't know Maybe there's more because this is a long scene, but we saw it. You better throw someone through a big rack of those lamps No, the whole point is it's like this device. That's it. That's it.

Mm-hmm for facts in general Yeah, oh wow, what did you think of machine gun Kelly loved loved and I will be honest that I had preconceived notions I did I went in feeling because I did a little research on him. Yeah, and I was like I mean to be honest, this is gonna sound horrible. I don't want it to be true But I was kind of like can't can't people just get it together a little bit like sure I know life is hard But like ah and then of course as soon as we sit down Sweet boy. Yeah, and it's so unfair.

What do you think under that because I have a guess of mine? Yeah, the initial need your because I totally relate and I think I have a theory on why but why why like initially just like come on and just get your shit together Like what do you think what do you think's under that? It's this angstyness that's put out that I am like, oh just can't you can't can't be easy can't it just be easy? Yeah, the truth is answers.

No for some people for me a lot of it I think the knee jerk is like Which is crazy I know because I don't have it much anymore But I used to for sure part of the knee jerk for me is like you're rich and famous how fucking bad can it be? That's probably the foundation. I don't have that It's more just like I can see that life is so difficult. Uh-huh and in my head, I'm like it doesn't have to be Yeah, it just doesn't have to be it can be easier, right, but that's wrong.

I'm wrong. Yeah, or for you what can be? Well, that's what I mean everyone's so different and it's amazing the things that people are doing despite their backgrounds Well, that's what's funny. Yeah, I guess like if you could see somebody in their totality just by glancing at them What's probably more accurate about him?

Like so if you don't know anything about him and you just look at the thing It's like do you why is it a fuck up if you see the totality you actually would probably go like it's amazing that he can be It's a miracle. Yeah functional and productive and creative and all these things I agree is more amazing really Yeah, for me actually the piece that I read that really made me just like Was him being like a self-proclaimed anarchist? Oh, right right right I read that and I was like no No, no, it doesn't have to be that like everything doesn't have to be a struggle But again when life is a struggle or when you're used to life being a struggle of course I also really think anarchist that's like a symptom of youth generally Yeah, and I think when you're young you feel most Separated from the system the system seems so obscure And impenetrable you feel a powerlessness of like I'll never have any say over how this place is and in some way I feel excluded from it. So I'd be happier if the whole fucking thing collapsed since you know Yeah, but I think that comes from people who who desperately need to feel powerful and that's due to not Exactly not having any and feeling trapped in that like I don't have that because I didn't feel like I have no problem with the system Right it worked for you.

Yeah, but I of course understand that's how I felt I think I told you I don't even know if I said it publicly because I'm always I try to be supportive of everyone's movies And it's a great movie But I just wasn't at an age where I could be excited about it, which was the Joker It's just like it's so misanthropic. It's so life is so terrible So who gives a fuck blow everything up like and I just was watching I was like I definitely would have loved this movie in my 20s Yeah, because I felt like oh god. I'm never gonna succeed in this crazy system Like I'm gonna be one of the ones left out and then I just was realizing like oh, that's whole thing no longer appeals to me Yeah, that movie was scary. Yeah, it's dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark dark But I think I think for upcoming guests, huh?

He's right? All right, right, anyway, so no, I loved him. I adored him. I thought he's very special person Yeah, and I did a complete 180 He's one of these guys that came up on an episode with a great guess It's coming up like a titan of the financial sector And we were talking about like what the last part of your life is if you've already kind of accomplished things in life You wanted to and the thrill of that's maybe over like what's left for you And I was saying why kind of I'm loving the idea of maybe like being a mentor to boys who would want me as a mentor And this was and I referenced and we hear that episode Maybe you'll be like who was he talking about?

But this was one of them. I was like I would be endlessly available to Colson Yeah, I think he would be good for I love you
