00:00:01.330 --> 00:00:07.549
Good afternoon, I'm Alan Volz. I'm a philosopher. If you
2
00:00:07.589 --> 00:00:14.640
didn't already know, I am in philosophy. I live philosophy.
3
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:17.539
It's a brick wall, and I've run into it a
4
00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:23.379
few times. And I am a little worse for wear today,
5
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:29.670
as today I am officially divorced. I wanted the divorce.
6
00:00:30.809 --> 00:00:34.070
More than the sunlight wants to be down on grass.
7
00:00:35.689 --> 00:00:38.329
But now I'm a bit melancholy because I'm not sure
8
00:00:38.350 --> 00:00:42.630
if it was the right decision. It's so definite, so deafening.
9
00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:50.380
And I don't even know what any of it means.
10
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.579
You know, when I tried to get the chat working,
11
00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:03.530
it wasn't easy. Because I didn't get it working. That's
12
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:09.109
why it wasn't easy. And now it runs over and over. 3-3-3.
13
00:01:09.209 --> 00:01:19.680
They say that's satan talk. Not satanic, but satan. That
14
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.000
is to say serpent. You say serpent, you say it's
15
00:01:23.060 --> 00:01:27.079
the extraterrestrial part of a reptile. That is a cat.
16
00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:31.700
The cat has slanted eyes. and go side to side,
17
00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:35.349
as most eyes go up and down side to side. Naturally,
18
00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:39.549
you read side to side, but it didn't always become
19
00:01:39.590 --> 00:01:44.390
the case. As text became symbols and ideas became ideals,
20
00:01:45.950 --> 00:01:48.739
you would do different things, like you would tie your shoelaces. Well,
21
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.340
you didn't have shoelaces in the 14th century. You had boots,
22
00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:57.319
you had daggers, you had all sorts of things, but
23
00:01:57.340 --> 00:02:03.140
you didn't have floss, you didn't floss your teeth. You
24
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.719
would take a stump and you would bash your head
25
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:12.639
into the stump. So it has merit, it has transition
26
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.580
and it has sequence. That is to say, what is sequence?
27
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:22.469
It's a series of numbers and symbols put in a
28
00:02:22.569 --> 00:02:28.090
path of your least resistance and you can follow that path. Now,
29
00:02:28.530 --> 00:02:31.129
If you ask me what I feel about marriage, I
30
00:02:31.150 --> 00:02:34.129
would say never get into it. It's the worst thing
31
00:02:34.169 --> 00:02:36.669
to do. I tell you over and over. But if
32
00:02:36.710 --> 00:02:40.360
you have the chance to fall in love, well, you'd
33
00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:43.479
be a fool not to. You'd be a fool not to.
34
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.900
You can climb a tree. You can look down on birds.
35
00:02:51.219 --> 00:02:56.219
It's possible to look down on birds because they're unkempt
36
Load full transcript
00:02:56.740 --> 00:03:01.150
and they don't wear clothes. So it's a magic wish.
37
00:03:01.169 --> 00:03:03.430
You have a wish. You have something in your boot.
38
00:03:03.469 --> 00:03:04.469
You have a bootstrap.
39
00:03:04.509 --> 00:03:04.870
You have.
40
00:03:05.669 --> 00:03:08.210
Damn, the thing keeps going off. Hold on a second.
41
00:03:09.590 --> 00:03:12.789
I'm going to look at the chat today from the phone.
42
00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:16.490
That is to say, my phone, my cell phone. People
43
00:03:16.530 --> 00:03:19.330
don't call it cell phones anymore. They call it a smartphone.
44
00:03:19.370 --> 00:03:22.389
What's so smart about it? It makes you crank your
45
00:03:22.449 --> 00:03:27.669
neck down. You get headaches. You wonder why you're getting headaches.
46
00:03:28.740 --> 00:03:33.319
Probably because of your phone. So these are the ideals.
47
00:03:33.370 --> 00:03:40.469
These are the basic constructs. These are the basic footprints
48
00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:45.550
of a civilization lost, of a civilization that is not
49
00:03:45.710 --> 00:03:51.219
civilized anymore. We live in a world of moonbeams. People
50
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.479
put their trust in plastic objects. Why is plastic a
51
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.639
bad thing? It's a series of chemicals and things that
52
00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:00.800
come from the world of a natural world. If you're
53
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.469
in a natural world, you're existing in a field of streams.
54
00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:08.289
But those are all natural because you're on the world.
55
00:04:09.030 --> 00:04:13.569
You're on top of the world. And you move the
56
00:04:13.629 --> 00:04:16.370
parts of the world as you see fit. That is
57
00:04:16.410 --> 00:04:18.720
to say, if you own a car and you try
58
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:22.639
to drive the car out of town, you will be
59
00:04:22.740 --> 00:04:25.660
able to drive yourself out of town. But are you
60
00:04:25.699 --> 00:04:28.800
really going out of town or is your mind going
61
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:35.529
out of town? Because we live in a world of simulation,
62
00:04:35.610 --> 00:04:42.189
but it's God's simulation. God brought you here. You could
63
00:04:42.230 --> 00:04:44.209
call it God, you could call it creator, whatever you
64
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:47.870
want to call it, but it is created by someone
65
00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:53.560
or something or some greater force bigger than yourself. Or
66
00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:58.579
else you would have created grass both times. Why did
67
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.819
I say times? That's not right. All right, let's take
68
00:05:01.870 --> 00:05:03.870
a look at our guest today. He's one of my
69
00:05:03.949 --> 00:05:06.170
former students. Let's see if he's there. He's not there yet.
70
00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:12.209
So maybe he didn't get the memo. Might I have
71
00:05:12.250 --> 00:05:17.040
an old email address? I wonder if I do. Let's
72
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.060
just say if this got to him. It was sent
73
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:26.879
to him. And it was the right address. So I
74
00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:33.439
don't know exactly what is built into this sort of system.
75
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.930
Maybe he's on a different time clock. Maybe he lives
76
00:05:36.970 --> 00:05:42.990
in a different world. Maybe he's not aware of things.
77
00:05:43.230 --> 00:05:46.250
That's not to say he doesn't know things. That is
78
00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:49.730
to say he has ideas. But maybe the ideas don't
79
00:05:49.790 --> 00:05:52.100
match up with doing the show today. Perhaps he thinks
80
00:05:52.149 --> 00:05:57.600
it's tomorrow, though I know I did speak with him
81
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:02.920
earlier today. I have his phone number. Not that we
82
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.220
communicate that way. But as I go into my messages,
83
00:06:07.379 --> 00:06:11.060
and I have quite a few, and people have wished
84
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.660
me a happy birthday. It is my happiest birthday, even
85
00:06:14.699 --> 00:06:17.490
though I'm as sad as I can be. My wife
86
00:06:18.290 --> 00:06:25.240
and I are no longer. We have left. We don't
87
00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:28.060
have what we wanted to do with each other. And
88
00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:32.519
I will say, I probably drink too much. I drink
89
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.730
too much. Look at my hair. I drink too much.
90
00:06:36.730 --> 00:06:40.550
I smell like it. I act like it. And I
91
00:06:40.629 --> 00:06:45.470
play the fairy. I play the fairy. I play the fairy,
92
00:06:45.490 --> 00:06:48.730
but not the fairy that prances around in little outfits.
93
00:06:49.509 --> 00:06:52.970
I play the fairy that is on the water. that
94
00:06:53.370 --> 00:06:58.779
rolls down into the gust of the gulf, into the
95
00:06:58.980 --> 00:07:06.819
prairie of the Mary, et cetera, et cetera. So let's
96
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.490
take a look here. I'm going to send him another message.
97
00:07:10.769 --> 00:07:15.930
I do not have control of the chat. There are
98
00:07:15.970 --> 00:07:18.610
people on the chat right now that don't even know,
99
00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:21.269
that I don't even know if they're chatting. They're probably
100
00:07:21.310 --> 00:07:21.649
chatting on.
101
00:07:24.850 --> 00:07:27.829
Let's try to send this. My guest is John Farley.
102
00:07:28.670 --> 00:07:33.069
If he comes. If he shows up. If he remembers.
103
00:07:33.990 --> 00:07:36.860
If I remember. Maybe I gave him the wrong link.
104
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.100
Maybe I gave him the right link. Maybe there is
105
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.000
no right link. Maybe there is no right click. Maybe
106
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.319
there is no tap shoe that can tap quickity quick.
107
00:07:51.490 --> 00:07:54.709
But you don't have to be fast to outwit people.
108
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.000
a fox because a fox is on the ground
and
109
00:07:58.019 --> 00:08:02.500
he runs around. And I think he sees it now.
110
00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:04.720
I think I have an old email address. I think
111
00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:08.439
maybe we talked about that last time. So we are
112
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:15.160
trying to merely connect. And I think he'll be in
113
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:21.470
the room soon. And Magnus Corpus Christi, that was a
114
00:08:21.870 --> 00:08:27.329
man I met in a bar. In Sislich, Sweden. And
115
00:08:27.389 --> 00:08:31.290
he had a beard. He had a beard at the time.
116
00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:36.830
His name was Greg. You see, he wanted to pretend
117
00:08:36.929 --> 00:08:45.480
he was homosexual. But he was really heterosexual. But his
118
00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:49.259
beard was a man. So there are all sorts of
119
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.330
ways to exist. Some people get a dog. Some people
120
00:08:53.350 --> 00:08:58.049
get a Lhasa Apso dog. But usually people don't refer
121
00:08:58.110 --> 00:09:01.740
to a Lhasa Apso as a Lhasa Apso dog. It
122
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.980
goes without saying. It has demeanor. It has wit. It
123
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:12.370
has full scope. And people say to me all the time,
124
00:09:12.429 --> 00:09:16.149
do you use... I'll say that again, just in case
125
00:09:16.190 --> 00:09:18.929
it's a clip. People say to me all the time,
126
00:09:19.009 --> 00:09:21.860
do you use conditioners? And I say, what do you
127
00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:25.590
mean use? It seems like a mutual exchange of energies.
128
00:09:26.419 --> 00:09:29.809
I put the conditioner on my hair. If I put
129
00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:33.370
too much, it looks like I've been greasing around in
130
00:09:33.389 --> 00:09:36.750
the alley. But if I put too little, then it
131
00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:40.870
doesn't have any effect at all. So how much conditioner
132
00:09:40.950 --> 00:09:43.480
is the right amount of conditioner? I wish Cato Kaelin
133
00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:47.059
was here so we could ask him. Oh, here we go.
134
00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:58.440
Here's John. Johnny. Yes, sir? Can you turn your camera off?
135
00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:18.710
This way? No. No again. Try one more time. No. Try... E... No.
136
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:23.570
What is it with your camera? I don't know, sir.
137
00:10:23.590 --> 00:10:27.669
Can you switch your body position? I guess we'll just...
138
00:10:28.110 --> 00:10:32.889
What kind of camera are you using? It's just the iPhone, sir.
139
00:10:34.429 --> 00:10:36.600
You don't have to call me sir anymore. You graduated
140
00:10:36.629 --> 00:10:38.980
years ago, and you've made quite a career for yourself.
141
00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:44.080
My guest is John Farley, and one of my philosophy students,
142
00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:47.820
one of my best philosophy students, because he had a certain...
143
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.450
You weren't the best student. No, sir, I was not.
144
00:10:53.539 --> 00:11:00.360
I don't know what you're filming. It looks like... I
145
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.120
was just about to say how smart you are. But
146
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.679
I have to hold back. I am smart, sir. No,
147
00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.860
I'm not saying you're not smart. But it seems right
148
00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:16.169
now you're proving the opposite of your strength. No, no... That's...
149
00:11:16.350 --> 00:11:21.330
There we are. That was the original position. I just
150
00:11:21.370 --> 00:11:32.539
so strange. Because I would love a position the other way. Horizontal,
151
00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:37.639
but with you following the path of the horizontal. Are
152
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.379
you on Instagram? Oh, yeah.
153
00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:46.129
I'm going to get off and go on to your
154
00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:47.090
email these times.
155
00:11:47.230 --> 00:11:48.990
I don't need you to get off. It's not that
156
00:11:49.029 --> 00:11:52.730
type of show. Oh.
157
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.590
Oh, God, that's what happened last.
158
00:11:57.500 --> 00:12:00.950
Can I talk, before you get off and come back,
159
00:12:01.289 --> 00:12:06.350
I want to talk about your voice. You have the
160
00:12:06.529 --> 00:12:12.169
type of voice that equates to someone that has done
161
00:12:12.309 --> 00:12:17.860
something wrong. We talked about this before. With your wife,
162
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.490
you know how to play it. is if you, you know,
163
00:12:22.529 --> 00:12:25.929
let's say you spilled a beer on the carpet and
164
00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:27.779
you cleaned it up yourself, but you didn't clean it
165
00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:31.360
very well. And your wife says, you spilled beer on
166
00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:35.419
the carpet. You would say something like, well, no. You
167
00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:42.289
have this thing that requires no assistance. What is it
168
00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:45.870
about your psyche? And as a philosophy student of mine,
169
00:12:46.450 --> 00:12:51.419
what helped you have that strength to carry on and
170
00:12:51.500 --> 00:13:00.120
be able to decompose the philosophy that... Do you know
171
00:13:00.139 --> 00:13:02.070
what I mean? I mean, it doesn't make much sense,
172
00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:05.470
but I'm saying... No, I think I get it, yeah.
173
00:13:05.629 --> 00:13:09.370
I mean, I don't remember spilling any beer. I don't
174
00:13:09.450 --> 00:13:13.909
think it was me. If it was, I mean, I'd
175
00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:15.470
be more than happy to clean it up.
176
00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:19.230
This is the perfect... This is the essence of what
177
00:13:19.289 --> 00:13:22.690
I'm speaking of. And I don't think it matters if
178
00:13:22.730 --> 00:13:26.470
you were to go away and come back. That is
179
00:13:26.509 --> 00:13:31.070
to say, put your camera in a different position. Because
180
00:13:31.090 --> 00:13:37.009
you're using Chrome
right now. Am I wrong? Okay. That's
181
00:13:37.049 --> 00:13:43.200
a clip. That's a clip. Okay. It's a clip. That's
182
00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:43.840
another clip.
183
00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:47.919
I'm not quite sure what Chrome is, sir. I do
184
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:51.549
know that it's a camera and it's facing me. And
185
00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:57.720
I'm talking and you're hearing me. But I went on
186
00:13:57.740 --> 00:14:00.600
the Instagram thing. I shouldn't have done that.
187
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.970
Do you miss me? Are you still at that school?
188
00:14:05.990 --> 00:14:09.529
Are you still at our school? No, no, no, no, no.
189
00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:13.529
I've become basically a celibate teacher of the arts. So
190
00:14:13.809 --> 00:14:17.840
I don't do anything with or to myself in or
191
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.250
in front of anyone else. I have a pickle mouse.
192
00:14:22.929 --> 00:14:25.110
A pickle mouse is a mouse that has been pickled
193
00:14:25.190 --> 00:14:30.450
and put in a vase. And here's my guidance. Here's
194
00:14:30.490 --> 00:14:33.330
my guidance. No, what you saw from me in that
195
00:14:33.389 --> 00:14:36.250
particular time at that school that we were at, which
196
00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:41.539
goes to be renamed another time, was the last glimpse
197
00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:45.259
you had of the actual philosophy that I used to teach,
198
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.379
which was the philosophy of life, that you are a victor.
199
00:14:50.009 --> 00:14:54.990
You can be a victor. I am a victor. I've
200
00:14:55.110 --> 00:14:55.519
made it.
201
00:14:55.529 --> 00:14:57.090
I'm successful.
202
00:14:58.389 --> 00:15:00.049
Not by that camera angle, you're not.
203
00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:02.070
God damn it.
204
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.200
I'm going this way then. I don't know. Do you
205
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.799
want to go away and come back? I don't usually
206
00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:10.620
say this. Let me do it. I'll take two seconds, sir.
207
00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:14.860
Just don't worry. So that is John Farley. And you
208
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.419
see the spontaneity of someone like this. Someone who can say,
209
00:15:18.450 --> 00:15:25.100
I exist. in a perpetuity, in a zild. You can
210
00:15:25.179 --> 00:15:28.399
be in a zild and not see the zild. You
211
00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:31.220
can wax and winny-wack, and people talk about waxing your
212
00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:36.419
third eye. How about waxing your crotch? It's a lot
213
00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:43.139
more painful, yet provides a greater clarity. And if a
214
00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:48.820
man wants to get his crotch waxed, etc., he can
215
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:59.149
use a coupon If the clinic accepts a coupon. So
216
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.399
there is no strength in teeth. Your teeth are as
217
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.799
only strong as they are rooted into your gums. And
218
00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:13.480
we had Bert Walpack on. Oh, here we go. John, John, John.
219
00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:21.570
Let's see. So there it is.
220
00:16:22.230 --> 00:16:22.529
There.
221
00:16:22.629 --> 00:16:23.610
See how that works?
222
00:16:23.870 --> 00:16:24.629
Holy shit.
223
00:16:24.870 --> 00:16:27.769
What is happening? I feel like you're a new person.
224
00:16:28.509 --> 00:16:30.269
There we have it. Now that's much better.
225
00:16:30.289 --> 00:16:36.139
I agreed to do this, sir, because you gave me a.
226
00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:38.639
D and I was a little upset.
227
00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:40.919
I think you said, I'm not going to fail you
228
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:43.059
because I don't want everyone to see you again. But
229
00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:46.110
I'm certainly not saying you're a success in my class.
230
00:16:46.330 --> 00:16:50.679
Was your exact quote. Right, and I always demanded to
231
00:16:50.730 --> 00:16:54.090
be quoted, especially at that time. But you must remember
232
00:16:54.110 --> 00:16:59.450
it was a D +. Thank you, I guess. Well,
233
00:17:00.350 --> 00:17:03.940
you have to see the positivity in things. You have
234
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.220
to have gratitude for the things that you are close to.
235
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.079
You're closer to a C than you were straight at
236
00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:12.599
a D. At a D +, you're coming around the edge.
237
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.970
As they say in that nursery rhyme, they're coming around
238
00:17:15.990 --> 00:17:17.029
the mountain when they come.
239
00:17:18.140 --> 00:17:22.400
No, nobody came in your class. I didn't come in
240
00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:23.000
your class.
241
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.609
Well, then you weren't doing it right.
242
00:17:28.809 --> 00:17:33.589
No, I wasn't. You had no books. Everything was your,
243
00:17:34.789 --> 00:17:38.670
you know, it was all up to you. And that class,
244
00:17:38.730 --> 00:17:42.940
you asked me for the final to come.
245
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.180
And I said, you know what?
246
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:48.839
I'll take the D. And you gave me a D
247
00:17:48.859 --> 00:17:50.779
plus because why?
248
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:54.599
Because you are already there. You didn't need to come.
249
00:17:54.900 --> 00:17:57.359
You didn't need to go. You were already in the
250
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.519
exact place you needed to be. Thank you. And we
251
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.869
talk about wild endings and mysterious paths. And we talk
252
00:18:07.900 --> 00:18:10.940
about dental flaws. We talk about things you put in
253
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.529
your mouth. Yeah. And you have a little bit of
254
00:18:16.630 --> 00:18:18.809
all three. I do.
255
00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:23.329
I get nervous and I have a tendency to put
256
00:18:23.349 --> 00:18:25.819
a lot of stuff in my mouth. I bit, chewed
257
00:18:25.890 --> 00:18:29.079
through pencils, remote controls.
258
00:18:29.880
--> 00:18:35.059
Phones, cords. I put a lot of stuff in there.
259
00:18:35.019 --> 00:18:39.589
To try and, because I get confused by your class.
260
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.769
I got very confused.
261
00:18:41.529 --> 00:18:44.690
And so everyone else seemed to be just fine and
262
00:18:44.730 --> 00:18:45.789
dandy with it, except me.
263
00:18:47.250 --> 00:18:51.309
Well, you should have understood very simply and very plainly
264
00:18:51.390 --> 00:18:55.799
that it was a class in confusion. And because confusion
265
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.220
was spelled in the old grammatical sense of the old
266
00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:04.220
time gnomon, Ruzel's, that these particular set of ideals, these
267
00:19:04.259 --> 00:19:09.099
particular set of structures that you're coming through, your anxiety
268
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.940
as a man, your anxiety as a woman, your anxiety
269
00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:19.779
as an animal, is anxiety at the root. All different circumstances,
270
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.640
but rooted in reality. Do you still have a great
271
00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:24.589
deal of anxiety?
272
00:19:24.609 --> 00:19:26.589
Yes, sir.
273
00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:30.809
Professor, sir. Are you a professor? You can call me Alan.
274
00:19:31.970 --> 00:19:39.259
Alan. That's right, Alan. You had everyone call you Alan. Yeah, Alan,
275
00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:40.599
I do have a little anxiety.
276
00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:44.079
And what do you feel it is based in?
277
00:19:47.109 --> 00:19:50.789
Let's say I guess it would be the fact that
278
00:19:51.069 --> 00:19:53.089
I might not be the smartest.
279
00:19:52.789 --> 00:19:56.539
One in the room. I know you play that. The
280
00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.160
smartest people say they're not smart. And I feel that's
281
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.940
a smart move because it makes you root for you.
282
00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:06.460
But not root vegetable. Well, you.
283
00:20:09.269 --> 00:20:13.369
You just said confusion was the root of your class. Right.
284
00:20:14.910 --> 00:20:21.880
Right. But not a root vegetable. No. You're right. Right.
285
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.019
You know, because I've been advised to take a paleo
286
00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:30.200
diet because they say I have bloating in my face.
287
00:20:31.589 --> 00:20:34.789
They say that I have girth in my gamut.
288
00:20:37.210 --> 00:20:41.809
That would probably, yeah, go toward your heart. What do
289
00:20:41.829 --> 00:20:42.869
you got there, sir?
290
00:20:43.049 --> 00:20:47.579
What are you drinking? Just a little moonshine. That is
291
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:52.859
homemade liquor. You made homemade liquor? Well, my wife is
292
00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:56.460
no longer my wife, and she made a great deal
293
00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:59.670
of moonshine that I was able to capture because I
294
00:20:59.750 --> 00:21:02.250
replaced the lock on the cellar door with another lock.
295
00:21:03.230 --> 00:21:08.220
And now I am on my own quite... willingly, I believe.
296
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:14.380
And here I go through mustard. It's not mustard gas.
297
00:21:14.460 --> 00:21:16.799
It's mustard. Do you like mustard?
298
00:21:18.099 --> 00:21:21.480
Mustard gives me a little heartburn. But sure, I guess there's,
299
00:21:22.099 --> 00:21:26.400
you know, stone, ground. You are talking about the stuff
300
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.119
you put on bratwurst and hot dogs, right?
301
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:32.220
Yes. If you're on a paleo diet, you can have
302
00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:32.960
all those things.
303
00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:38.240
Paleo? Is that just meat? What does paleo mean?
304
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.019
I don't really know. I was just told I need
305
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:44.890
to get on it, but I don't. This has to
306
00:21:44.930 --> 00:21:49.210
do with meat. I think it has to do with beans.
307
00:21:49.910 --> 00:21:53.730
I think you can have cheese. I think you can have...
308
00:21:54.029 --> 00:22:00.009
I don't know what else. Wow. So, okay. Okay. But
309
00:22:00.069 --> 00:22:02.450
what is it with you? You have a sense of,
310
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.059
you're saying you got a D plus in my, first
311
00:22:05.099 --> 00:22:07.279
you're saying you got a D in my class, really
312
00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:10.180
you got a D plus, but you learned nothing from
313
00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:13.549
my class? I did, definitely.
314
00:22:13.569 --> 00:22:17.730
I learned to really, really look at your electives, you know,
315
00:22:17.769 --> 00:22:23.359
the classes that you can take to expand your education.
316
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.519
And choose one that's, you know, it was either rock
317
00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:30.259
climbing or philosophy. And I said, okay, you know what?
318
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.920
I'm not going to do rock climbing. I'd rather do
319
00:22:32.940 --> 00:22:37.420
philosophy and see what that's like. And mother fuck did
320
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:38.269
I choose wrong.
321
00:22:41.190 --> 00:22:45.470
Well, I am taken aback. But my question to you is,
322
00:22:45.809 --> 00:22:49.589
what is the difference between rock climbing and philosophy? There
323
00:22:49.609 --> 00:22:52.509
really is no difference. If you see the extension of
324
00:22:52.609 --> 00:22:55.750
life as a persistence of now, don't you see a
325
00:22:55.829 --> 00:22:59.130
rock as something that's not necessarily in your way, but
326
00:22:59.190 --> 00:23:02.190
something that's underneath your foot, which is an illusion?
327
00:23:05.490 --> 00:23:08.660
No, I'm not quite sure that is an illusion, sir.
328
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:09.940
That's actual rocks.
329
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:10.980
Okay, sir.
330
00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:16.099
I think you climb. That's why you're climbing rocks. It's
331
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:19.440
not a pebble. It's a giant rock.
332
00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:24.160
Yes, perhaps
you're climbing, but perhaps you're just moving in
333
00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:28.569
the air. If you're in an ice sculpture and it
334
00:23:28.609 --> 00:23:31.970
started to melt on you, would you say, oh, the
335
00:23:32.029 --> 00:23:35.329
sculpture is melting? Or would you say life is getting
336
00:23:35.390 --> 00:23:42.410
a little more liquid? I'd say I'm on something and
337
00:23:43.650 --> 00:23:51.839
I think something's melting. I don't think it's... Okay, let
338
00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:54.119
me give you an example. Let's say this is six
339
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:57.420
months ago. You're at a party. You're at a party
340
00:23:58.140 --> 00:24:01.140
and you're an ice sculptor and you're climbing an ice sculptor.
341
00:24:01.180 --> 00:24:04.210
That was your job. Somebody hired you to climb an ice...
342
00:24:04.509 --> 00:24:08.390
It happens at these rich parties. Yeah, sure. Would you
343
00:24:08.470 --> 00:24:13.690
think back To the future, if you could see the present,
344
00:24:14.009 --> 00:24:18.170
and it was in a certain bite-sized thing, that is
345
00:24:18.230 --> 00:24:21.950
to say, if you had an idea about an ice sculpture,
346
00:24:22.630 --> 00:24:25.009
then you went to the party, and you climbed the
347
00:24:25.130 --> 00:24:27.769
ice sculpture, and then you left the party, wouldn't you
348
00:24:27.809 --> 00:24:33.450
assume that the ice sculpture had melted? Yes, I would.
349
00:24:34.630 --> 00:24:39.509
It's melted, for sure, because it's outside. It's not refrigerated.
350
00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:44.700
Wrong! Because when you left that house, perhaps they put
351
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:49.109
that into a freezer, the remaining bits of the ice sculpture,
352
00:24:49.130 --> 00:24:53.750
especially if it was spring water. People like to regurgitate
353
00:24:53.829 --> 00:24:58.009
such activities, and they would like to make another ice sculpture.
354
00:24:58.029 --> 00:25:00.490
So they start with something that's a brick. But see,
355
00:25:00.529 --> 00:25:03.059
you don't know a lot about ice sculptures, do you?
356
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.519
No, but it does bring me on to kind of
357
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:10.579
a sore subject. Do you? If you remember back in
358
00:25:10.619 --> 00:25:14.319
your class, your very first class, your question to the
359
00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:18.380
class was, if a tree falls in the woods, does
360
00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:21.670
anyone hear it? And then for the next four weeks,
361
00:25:22.430 --> 00:25:25.089
we didn't say a goddamn thing in the class, and
362
00:25:25.130 --> 00:25:28.450
we just tried to listen for a tree falling. And
363
00:25:28.549 --> 00:25:33.670
we were in Manhattan, I think. I didn't hear anything.
364
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:37.240
Why? What was the four weeks for? I don't get it.
365
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:42.150
And then I don't know what, I don't know. What
366
00:25:42.190 --> 00:25:44.569
you don't know is what you said in your own
367
00:25:44.650 --> 00:25:49.569
speaking just now. You said to yourself, and I heard this. Okay.
368
00:25:51.150 --> 00:25:55.880
I think it was Manhattan. I think. Why would you,
369
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.900
you were in the class. Wouldn't you remember where it was?
370
00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:04.819
And the fact that you said in Manhattan, as if
371
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:09.509
to say a New York tree is not possible. Do
372
00:26:09.569 --> 00:26:13.329
not feel there's no possibility to get a tree in
373
00:26:13.390 --> 00:26:14.130
New York City.
374
00:26:16.750 --> 00:26:17.069
Okay.
375
00:26:17.549 --> 00:26:22.250
It's sort of like being a Korean dancer. Yes. And
376
00:26:22.289 --> 00:26:27.859
you get relocated to Sweden or something. And you say,
377
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:34.240
I'm so glad to be in Sweden. Right. But he
378
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.619
has no idea how many trees are in Manhattan if
379
00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:41.349
he's located in Sweden. So don't you think there's a
380
00:26:41.390 --> 00:26:46.730
juxtaposition between living and thinking and breathing and just sitting
381
00:26:46.890 --> 00:27:00.160
on a pile of groceries? Yes. And? Trees in New York. See,
382
00:27:00.180 --> 00:27:01.980
this is why you got a D +, and I
383
00:27:02.019 --> 00:27:03.960
probably should have given you a D.
384
00:27:05.019 --> 00:27:05.220
Yeah.
385
00:27:05.609 --> 00:27:08.930
And you swear. I'm sorry. I know.
386
00:27:08.950 --> 00:27:16.039
I do swear because I don't understand philosophy. I'm not
387
00:27:16.140 --> 00:27:17.539
a book guy.
388
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:23.059
There's nothing to understand. It's all bullshit. You see, I'm bullshitting.
389
00:27:23.180 --> 00:27:26.160
I say, oh, get on the path of least resistance. Well,
390
00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:28.240
what's that mean? Well, it's a path that doesn't have
391
00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:30.920
any rocks on it. Well, it's just something. I start
392
00:27:30.940 --> 00:27:33.660
to say something that sounds okay, and then I just
393
00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:36.529
keep talking. I didn't know what I mean. I didn't
394
00:27:36.549 --> 00:27:38.230
know what I was saying. I didn't know what I think.
395
00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:39.450
Wait a minute.
396
00:27:39.470 --> 00:27:41.650
So you're saying your whole class was bullshit?
397
00:27:42.769 --> 00:27:43.710
Absolutely.
398
00:27:43.750 --> 00:27:48.779
Like I was fighting for a D? I fought myself
399
00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:51.319
into a D when I could have just let it
400
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.430
go and got an A?
401
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:57.069
You were fighting for your life.
402
00:27:57.980 --> 00:28:01.230
Yes. At one point, you had brought a gun to class.
403
00:28:02.890 --> 00:28:06.019
And you said, is it loaded? Isn't it loaded? We
404
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:09.579
didn't know. I didn't know. And I ran away. And
405
00:28:09.619 --> 00:28:12.299
then I come to find out
it was a Nerf.
406
00:28:13.380 --> 00:28:18.240
It was a Nerf gun. No, I said later that
407
00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:20.779
it was a Nerf gun because I didn't want everyone
408
00:28:20.819 --> 00:28:22.680
to say something. But it actually was.
409
00:28:22.700 --> 00:28:23.769
I wasn't there for that.
410
00:28:23.910 --> 00:28:26.589
I ran. Well, you would have realized it was a
411
00:28:26.630 --> 00:28:29.089
real gun. So you made the right choice. You could
412
00:28:29.130 --> 00:28:36.140
be a philosophy prospect now. I could be a professor,
413
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.140
you said? You are a professor.
414
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:40.569
Of philosophy?
415
00:28:40.589 --> 00:28:44.269
Of whatever you want. All you have to do is
416
00:28:44.349 --> 00:28:48.390
keep talking. There is no rhyme. There is no rules.
417
00:28:50.269 --> 00:28:54.170
There is a vague background, and you can put whatever
418
00:28:55.750 --> 00:29:01.650
you want on it. Now, you are a successful actor, comedian.
419
00:29:01.670 --> 00:29:01.829
Yes, sir.
420
00:29:02.630 --> 00:29:05.299
I do all right. Improviser. You've done a lot of things.
421
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.740
You've just done these State Farm commercials I keep seeing,
422
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:13.900
which are great. Amazon. But yeah, they were pretty good.
423
00:29:13.940 --> 00:29:18.950
They're good commercials. And Dr. Pepper. I love that doctor.
424
00:29:19.630 --> 00:29:19.869
Yes.
425
00:29:19.890 --> 00:29:22.529
I don't think he's a real doctor. But if you
426
00:29:22.569 --> 00:29:25.789
were to go to a doctor named Dr. Pepper, what
427
00:29:25.829 --> 00:29:29.660
would you say to him? I would say.
428
00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.980
I'm a pepper, you're a pepper. Wouldn't you like to
429
00:29:34.009 --> 00:29:34.990
be a pepper too?
430
00:29:35.069 --> 00:29:35.769
Be a pepper.
431
00:29:35.849 --> 00:29:37.710
I don't know what I'd say. I'd say, hey, I've
432
00:29:37.750 --> 00:29:40.769
got spots on my dick. and don't know if they're
433
00:29:40.789 --> 00:29:44.940
from whacking off too much or if they're from some
434
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:46.539
sort of a bad night.
435
00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:51.660
Is that wrong? Is that that kind of a doctor? No, no,
436
00:29:51.700 --> 00:29:58.940
that's perfectly permissible. Okay. And perfectly pissable if it still works.
437
00:30:00.289 --> 00:30:03.470
Yeah, you know, you got to, you know, grunt it
438
00:30:03.569 --> 00:30:04.549
out and she'll work.
439
00:30:05.910 --> 00:30:09.359
So what is it about your life that is so confusing?
440
00:30:09.470 --> 00:30:11.920
You took a class on confusion. You're going to get
441
00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:12.900
more confused.
442
00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:15.059
I did get more confused.
443
00:30:15.099 --> 00:30:19.539
That's sort of the point of it there. It is, yes.
444
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:24.940
But you look great. You have a great disposition. You
445
00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:30.190
have cars, house... I assume you have at least one house.
446
00:30:31.329 --> 00:30:35.549
And with the house, you get the mouse. Do you
447
00:30:35.589 --> 00:30:37.609
know who the mouse is in your house?
448
00:30:39.549 --> 00:30:44.190
Is that a pickled mouse? I don't have any mice
449
00:30:44.250 --> 00:30:47.599
in my house, I don't think. There's a cat that
450
00:30:47.690 --> 00:30:48.799
roams around outside.
451
00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:51.940
I'm allergic to cats. I'm not asking if you have
452
00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:54.539
mice in your house. I'm asking if you have a
453
00:30:54.740 --> 00:31:08.980
mouse in your house. Yeah. Yes. Of course. Of course. Fuck. No, no,
454
00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:12.140
I don't have a mouse in my house. Because I'm
455
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.720
not supposed to have mice in your house. They're supposed
456
00:31:14.769 --> 00:31:19.170
to be out in the barn. Keep going. And with
457
00:31:19.230 --> 00:31:22.309
that barn, there's hay. And who gives a hay?
458
00:31:22.990 --> 00:31:25.910
If the mouse is in the house, you got to say,
459
00:31:25.930 --> 00:31:27.609
Amps Gray.
460
00:31:27.630 --> 00:31:30.750
Okay. Or something like that. Or you could say ashtray.
461
00:31:31.190 --> 00:31:33.859
I had an improv teacher once. At the end of
462
00:31:33.940 --> 00:31:36.900
each scene, we would do a scene and they would say, well,
463
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:38.980
you could have gone on about the hot dog. You
464
00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:41.400
could have talked about how the hot dog broke into
465
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.380
little pieces and then became a little whatever. They would
466
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:50.819
always say that we did well, but then change what
467
00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:55.089
we made fun of or change the discourse. Yeah. Do
468
00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:59.069
you think that would be interesting... In a place like Costco? Yes.
469
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:09.930
It's an ordinary place that something extraordinary happens in someone's
470
00:32:10.369 --> 00:32:11.089
everyday life.
471
00:32:11.829 --> 00:32:12.269
Keep going.
472
00:32:13.250 --> 00:32:17.890
And therefore, in Costco, if you had a hot dog
473
00:32:18.069 --> 00:32:21.250
that was chopped up into little hot dogs and you
474
00:32:21.269 --> 00:32:25.609
were serving them in Costco, then you would be a
475
00:32:27.009 --> 00:32:31.140
cart dog. guy that sells hot dogs, peddles hot dogs
476
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.829
at Costco. Therefore, you're not in Korea, you're in Australia.
477
00:32:37.950 --> 00:32:42.109
You went a little too far. We didn't need the Korea, Australia.
478
00:32:42.170 --> 00:32:44.210
You were saying I was a Korean actor and I
479
00:32:44.410 --> 00:32:47.420
somehow went to Australia or somewhere, Sydney.
480
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:50.980
Life doesn't have to be a series of callbacks. You
481
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.460
can come up with something, which you think
it does,
482
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:58.009
but imagine your marriage is having callbacks all the time.
483
00:32:58.069 --> 00:33:02.049
It would irritate your wife. You know, you keep saying
484
00:33:02.089 --> 00:33:06.329
the same thing. It's her place to have callbacks if
485
00:33:06.390 --> 00:33:10.299
she wants them. And they're not always terribly entertaining, but
486
00:33:10.339 --> 00:33:12.460
they're her choice.
487
00:33:14.779 --> 00:33:15.799
She likes comebacks.
488
00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:22.500
Because you're coming her back. That's good. That's a vibrant marriage.
489
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:26.809
That's people that are engaged with each other. And married
490
00:33:26.869 --> 00:33:32.950
with each other. And stuck together like glue. Yes. No mice.
491
00:33:33.390 --> 00:33:37.289
No mouse. Just jizz. Jizz.
492
00:33:38.309 --> 00:33:41.299
Or, you know, there's a mouse probably in the barn.
493
00:33:42.400 --> 00:33:46.200
If I had a barn, I'd have a garage. Detached.
494
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.079
Detachable penis. That was the song. Yes, it was. So
495
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:56.359
you could be in a barn, see zero jizz. Yes,
496
00:33:56.599 --> 00:34:00.539
go on. But know that you are in a barn. Yeah.
497
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:02.819
You know, this sort of thing.
498
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:06.160
That's the lyrics to old Back Door Annie, I believe,
499
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:10.000
which she liked it in the fanny. But we don't
500
00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:11.239
want to talk about that part.
501
00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:14.530
No, but if you were to build on that, Back
502
00:34:14.550 --> 00:34:18.909
Door Fanny liked it in the fanny. Annie, Back Door
503
00:34:18.989 --> 00:34:25.639
Annie liked it in the fanny. And then what? Then she...
504
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:26.949
Drove her home? Yep.
505
00:34:27.260 --> 00:34:32.070
Gathered around, gathered around. My brother's in town. And he
506
00:34:32.110 --> 00:34:36.409
likes the back door, Annie. He likes to go visit her.
507
00:34:36.889 --> 00:34:38.809
You never heard that song. It's an old one from
508
00:34:38.829 --> 00:34:39.409
the 20s.
509
00:34:39.489 --> 00:34:41.190
No, I know it. I know it very well.
510
00:34:41.210 --> 00:34:43.710
Yep. I used to sing it when Babe Ruth got
511
00:34:43.769 --> 00:34:45.789
up to bat. That was his walkout song.
512
00:34:46.670 --> 00:34:50.059
I love that Babe Ruth was called Babe. The last
513
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.289
guy to be handsome was Babe Ruth. I mean, he
514
00:34:53.309 --> 00:34:57.000
had a basketball head. Yes. And he was a great
515
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.699
home run hitter, but they called him Babe because people
516
00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:04.320
become more attractive the more successful they are. You know, like,
517
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:08.320
look at, remember Steve Winwood? You know? Yeah. I mean,
518
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.429
these are the sort of juxtapositions that are juxtaposed, that
519
00:35:13.489 --> 00:35:16.150
are stuck to a wall, that are falling down in
520
00:35:16.190 --> 00:35:21.519
your head, that have led you understand and see a
521
00:35:21.619 --> 00:35:26.219
simulation that is not really there. If an alien was
522
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.969
composed of cat embryo, that is to say, you saw
523
00:35:30.989 --> 00:35:34.409
a kitty cat and it was an alien. Think about
524
00:35:34.429 --> 00:35:36.929
the eyes. They slit. They go back and forth. They're long.
525
00:35:37.269 --> 00:35:42.849
They're long. But they also go... So this is something
526
00:35:42.869 --> 00:35:46.429
that could be a phenomenon. I've gotten very into conspiratorials
527
00:35:46.510 --> 00:35:48.679
through chills. Do you like those?
528
00:35:50.860 --> 00:35:52.519
I don't know what you just said there, sir.
529
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:57.889
Exactly. Experimental chills? Exactly. Exactly.
530
00:35:58.849 --> 00:36:03.150
Oh, I love... I've never experienced one.
531
00:36:03.289 --> 00:36:03.949
Keep going.
532
00:36:04.929 --> 00:36:12.460
But I am open to philosophy of chills.
533
00:36:14.019 --> 00:36:16.360
Get back to the first thing. I've got a mouse
534
00:36:16.420 --> 00:36:19.760
in my house. I've got ants in my pants. I've
535
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:23.760
got the cat on top of a zebra. That's not mine.
536
00:36:25.059 --> 00:36:27.349
I don't own the cat. I don't own the zebra.
537
00:36:27.670 --> 00:36:30.750
But I see this not as a figment of my imagination,
538
00:36:31.130 --> 00:36:35.329
but as something that could be extraterrestrial and extra sweet.
539
00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:41.420
Think about when saccharin came out. But people were jumping
540
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.440
through the roof over it.
541
00:36:42.460 --> 00:36:46.139
They loved it. Yeah, that's the artificial sweetener.
542
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:51.400
It's not the only one, though. No, of course not.
543
00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:55.960
There's plenty. Splenda, you know, the green one, the pink one,
544
00:36:56.000 --> 00:37:00.019
the yellow one. Whatever you want to choose. And then
545
00:37:00.179 --> 00:37:02.519
you go down that rabbit hole of, hey, I'm going
546
00:37:02.539 --> 00:37:03.960
to be a pink guy for the rest of my
547
00:37:03.980 --> 00:37:06.340
life or I'll be the yellow one or the green one.
548
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.699
Or the white.
549
00:37:09.489 --> 00:37:12.090
What if you just wanted to go plain and stay
550
00:37:12.130 --> 00:37:15.510
away from the saccharine? And you said no. And then
551
00:37:15.550 --> 00:37:18.539
there's the weirdos that go for the brown. And then
552
00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:20.860
you're like, whoa, you like that coarse stuff.
553
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.789
You like it rough. And they're like, yes, I do.
554
00:37:23.809 --> 00:37:25.630
I don't like saccharin.
555
00:37:26.849 --> 00:37:27.590
Sam, I am.
556
00:37:28.050 --> 00:37:31.710
And I'm going
to go with the coarse, brown. What
557
00:37:31.730 --> 00:37:35.690
are you going with? And I say, I'm white. I
558
00:37:35.730 --> 00:37:40.869
go with the white, the norm, the old-fashioned kind. And
559
00:37:40.989 --> 00:37:44.840
they say, well, you look like a green. You're a
560
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:49.360
green or a yellow. And that's when I get upset.
561
00:37:49.380 --> 00:37:52.139
And that's when the ants in the pants get a
562
00:37:52.219 --> 00:37:52.960
little angry.
563
00:37:55.460 --> 00:37:57.900
What about the mouse in the house? Fuck.
564
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:02.719
That's right, there's mice. Sorry, there's mice in my house
565
00:38:02.860 --> 00:38:03.659
and then there's.
566
00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:05.650
A cat on the apple. No, no, no, no, no, no.
567
00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:07.320
It goes back to the first thing. This is why
568
00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:09.800
you got a D plus in my class. Oh, dang it.
569
00:38:10.420 --> 00:38:14.389
Because you go from... You might as well say lice
570
00:38:14.429 --> 00:38:18.750
in the mice, you know, because... A mouse most likely
571
00:38:18.809 --> 00:38:22.340
has some sort of lice or some sort of tiny
572
00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:27.519
parasitic bug. But I mean mouse in the house, not
573
00:38:27.679 --> 00:38:33.050
mice in the house. Because it's how many, I think
574
00:38:33.190 --> 00:38:37.510
you must think in terms of one mouse to one house.
575
00:38:37.530 --> 00:38:42.230
Does that make sense? It does. Yes, totally.
576
00:38:42.429 --> 00:38:43.570
God, what was I thinking?
577
00:38:43.690 --> 00:38:46.610
It shouldn't make sense. You're off track again. All of
578
00:38:46.670 --> 00:38:47.909
these things make no sense.
579
00:38:47.929 --> 00:38:49.730
I didn't think it made sense at all. I was
580
00:38:49.849 --> 00:38:52.889
completely lost. I have no idea what you're saying.
581
00:38:53.269 --> 00:38:53.769
You know what?
582
00:38:53.809 --> 00:38:55.590
To be honest with you, I cheated off the girl
583
00:38:55.630 --> 00:38:58.969
next to me and I think she was crazy or
584
00:38:59.050 --> 00:39:03.170
didn't speak English or was in the wrong class. And
585
00:39:03.230 --> 00:39:05.070
I said, hey, can I see what you got on
586
00:39:05.110 --> 00:39:09.449
that test? And she said, here. handed me a picture
587
00:39:09.489 --> 00:39:14.989
of a tugboat that was making love with a flamingo,
588
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:15.940
I think.
589
00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:20.980
I like that. I like the flamingo thing. But define tugboat.
590
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.239
That's what you have to do. When people hear words,
591
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.769
especially two words next to each other that mean one thing,
592
00:39:27.170 --> 00:39:29.409
you've got to be able to separate them and define
593
00:39:29.429 --> 00:39:30.739
them separately. and as one.
594
00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:33.800
Well, I was looking at the picture and it certainly
595
00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:36.579
looked like a tugboat to me. And I said, hey,
596
00:39:38.030 --> 00:39:40.889
you drew a tugboat and a flamingo. And she said, yes.
597
00:39:42.090 --> 00:39:45.480
And I go, oh, you do speak. Thanks. I don't
598
00:39:45.500 --> 00:39:47.880
know what you were doing at the time, but I
599
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:51.349
could have full sentences talking in your class, in your texts,
600
00:39:51.429 --> 00:39:52.130
in your tests.
601
00:39:53.269 --> 00:39:56.050
No, but life is best led in a state of play.
602
00:39:57.070 --> 00:40:01.869
You have a series of juggernauts. Bo Jackson ran a
603
00:40:01.889 --> 00:40:05.940
4-1 in the 40. He could hit baseballs. He did
604
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.460
all these things, but now he's got chronic hiccups because
605
00:40:09.539 --> 00:40:12.639
life will play interesting games on you. Don't say cruel.
606
00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:18.000
Say interesting. If you can find something is interesting, not evil,
607
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:23.659
not transparent, not ne'er-do-well, but something that is particularly interesting,
608
00:40:24.019 --> 00:40:28.059
then you are like, hmm, that's interesting. You see how
609
00:40:28.139 --> 00:40:30.670
it's a sort of an equilibrium when I say that.
610
00:40:31.090 --> 00:40:36.849
It's a strange set of circumstances, but they are interesting.
611
00:40:39.230 --> 00:40:40.309
You got something there.
612
00:40:41.170 --> 00:40:42.590
You know what? You should write a book.
613
00:40:44.929 --> 00:40:45.969
Don't tell me what to do.
614
00:40:46.030 --> 00:40:48.170
Don't tell me what to do. You should never tell
615
00:40:48.190 --> 00:40:51.090
people what to do. No, of course not. You didn't
616
00:40:51.309 --> 00:40:58.489
define tugboat. I think she wanted to tug on my wiener. Oh,
617
00:40:58.510 --> 00:41:01.400
my God. I'm not sure. I think that's what it was.
618
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:03.019
How do you not know? And the pink.
619
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:08.420
Flamingo was her vagina. Or maybe she was coming on
620
00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:08.699
to me.
621
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:09.679
I'm not sure.
622
00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:15.800
She didn't have use of her hands. And she wrote
623
00:41:15.820 --> 00:41:18.519
with her mouth with a pen. And so maybe she
624
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:23.039
wasn't trying to draw a tugboat. I thought she was
625
00:41:23.099 --> 00:41:25.260
really smart because she looked like Stephen Hawking.
626
00:41:25.659 --> 00:41:29.360
And then she gets an A and I get a
627
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:32.719
D plus. So you were attracted to her because she
628
00:41:32.760 --> 00:41:35.639
looked like Stephen Hawking. Yet you don't know how to
629
00:41:35.699 --> 00:41:38.860
define what a tugboat is. You see how this misses?
630
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:42.760
This leaps over the electricity that it could be otherwise
631
00:41:42.900 --> 00:41:44.840
used in a different sort of... And I see how
632
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:48.760
you readjust. I see how you readjust. I see how
633
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.280
you readjust. Let's get into your... I want to talk
634
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:54.550
about your film career. I want to talk about your commercials.
635
00:41:54.929 --> 00:41:56.949
I want to talk about what it is like to
636
00:41:56.989 --> 00:42:02.170
be John Farley. To come out of bed and into
637
00:42:02.210 --> 00:42:06.289
the world. Do you have dreams? Do you have dreams?
638
00:42:07.030 --> 00:42:08.650
I have dreams. I dream a lot.
639
00:42:08.829 --> 00:42:12.679
I just finished a movie in Louisville, Kentucky, and I
640
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:15.880
wanted to tell you that I went to the Louisville
641
00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:18.760
Slugger Hall of Fame bat place, and they had a
642
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:21.360
life-size mannequin of Babe Ruth.
643
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:25.780
He wasn't fat. He was strong like an ox. He
644
00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:28.860
was a big kid. Well, he wore very large underwear,
645
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.820
and so anytime you do such a thing, it will
646
00:42:32.510 --> 00:42:37.119
bolster the other positions of your body. Oh. All right. Well,
647
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:38.679
he certainly was bolstered.
648
00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:46.750
He was wearing a very wool almost uniform. No wonder
649
00:42:46.769 --> 00:42:49.389
they got drunk all the time because it was probably,
650
00:42:49.869 --> 00:42:53.510
imagine playing baseball in 110 degree heat with a wool outfit.
651
00:42:53.889 --> 00:43:01.750
How about going to an island with moccasins and whiskey? Yeah.
652
00:43:01.829 --> 00:43:06.789
Firing machine guns. We talk about firing machine guns. We did.
653
00:43:07.050 --> 00:43:10.570
We did do that. I was with you. I know.
654
00:43:10.650 --> 00:43:11.230
I remember.
655
00:43:11.269 --> 00:43:16.409
And I ran because you pulled out the Nerf machine
656
00:43:16.449 --> 00:43:21.019
gun thing and didn't realize it was a Nerf. That
657
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:24.659
was a crazy class. But yeah, I don't think I've
658
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:28.179
seen anyone in moccasins with a machine gun on an island.
659
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:32.989
That sounds like they'd have a makeshift spear or maybe
660
00:43:33.050 --> 00:43:38.239
an old gun that they... took off a seafaring pirate.
661
00:43:39.469 --> 00:43:41.280
Why did they say seafaring?
662
00:43:42.389 --> 00:43:48.429
Because they, I guess you could pirate video, but I
663
00:43:48.469 --> 00:43:50.670
think they're usually at the high seas. I don't know
664
00:43:50.690 --> 00:43:55.309
what the high seas are, but they're seas that are.
665
00:43:56.750 --> 00:44:00.190
Seafaring. They're above. But they're not.
666
00:44:00.429 --> 00:44:03.090
Why do they say, hey, that town's at sea level?
667
00:44:04.429 --> 00:44:07.389
Because that's the lowest point on Earth. Well, the C
668
00:44:07.469 --> 00:44:08.929
minus level
is lower.
669
00:44:11.489 --> 00:44:13.050
No, deep loss is lowest.
670
00:44:13.389 --> 00:44:17.940
Yes, but in terms of a C. Yeah. Let's take
671
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.260
a look. You know, what's interesting is we're going through this.
672
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:23.840
I couldn't get this to work and get the chart going.
673
00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:27.869
So we're just going to take a little look. And...
674
00:44:32.059 --> 00:44:33.250
You know, I'm not able to do it.
675
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:36.000
I don't know how to do it. Did you get
676
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:39.019
hair extensions, Professor, or Alan?
677
00:44:39.179 --> 00:44:45.010
No, I've always had them. Wow. I've always had hair extensions.
678
00:44:45.030 --> 00:44:48.929
They were grandfathered in from my mother's side of the family.
679
00:44:49.710 --> 00:44:53.349
They've had them before. They invented hair extensions before Tina
680
00:44:53.389 --> 00:44:57.750
Turner was alive. So they've been passed through the years,
681
00:44:57.849 --> 00:45:01.059
passed through the time. Passed through the snow of the
682
00:45:01.099 --> 00:45:05.699
wind chime chime. And yeah, it fits me like a glove.
683
00:45:05.820 --> 00:45:08.980
This is Mac Lamar, not Mac Lamar. Who's the other guy?
684
00:45:09.059 --> 00:45:16.239
Ed Sheeran. This is the Ed Sheeran style. I like it. Again,
685
00:45:16.300 --> 00:45:19.119
before Tina Turner. What do you got?
686
00:45:20.380 --> 00:45:26.159
I just started taking some pills called Minoxidil. And I
687
00:45:26.340 --> 00:45:26.989
think it's working.
688
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:31.039
Are you serious? I did.
689
00:45:31.059 --> 00:45:33.079
It's something with an F.
690
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:34.119
I don't know what they are.
691
00:45:34.139 --> 00:45:36.119
A couple pills the doctor gave me. He said, try
692
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:37.460
these for a year and come back.
693
00:45:38.099 --> 00:45:38.780
I go, all right.
694
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:42.019
He said my wiener wouldn't work as well, but it does.
695
00:45:43.460 --> 00:45:50.840
You seem to be allocated to your penis. Do you
696
00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:54.690
feel a responsibility because it's attached to you, or do
697
00:45:54.710 --> 00:45:57.699
you feel like If it wasn't there, you wouldn't care.
698
00:45:57.780 --> 00:45:59.239
Just like grass on the knoll.
699
00:45:59.260 --> 00:46:03.619
I was just trying to, you know, bond with you
700
00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:07.510
considering you made the entire class come.
701
00:46:11.570 --> 00:46:18.150
Except me. You're not coming now? I did.
702
00:46:18.550 --> 00:46:19.909
No, not now.
703
00:46:19.929 --> 00:46:22.630
You're not doing it right. You're not doing it right.
704
00:46:23.570 --> 00:46:24.690
Are you coming right now?
705
00:46:25.170 --> 00:46:30.719
I'm here. I've been here. We're here. We're out here. Yes,
706
00:46:30.780 --> 00:46:34.139
we are. We're here. I guess I did came. I
707
00:46:34.179
--> 00:46:40.489
wish you are present. I like to say that. If
708
00:46:40.610 --> 00:46:45.349
I've had any kind of a situation with a woman,
709
00:46:45.369 --> 00:46:49.610
I need to give my evaluation of the experience. I
710
00:46:49.630 --> 00:46:53.710
just say I'm present. Here and accounted for. I'm not
711
00:46:53.769 --> 00:46:56.469
an accountant, but I am accounted for.
712
00:46:58.949 --> 00:47:01.289
But in a way, you're kind of an accountant because
713
00:47:01.329 --> 00:47:04.230
you're counting that you're here.
714
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:11.619
Kind of, yes. So in a way, we're all accountants.
715
00:47:11.980 --> 00:47:15.059
In a way, we're all accountants and we're all God's creatures.
716
00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:19.760
We live in an assimilation. We live in a virtual
717
00:47:19.900 --> 00:47:23.619
simulation where we are, you know, just like you pick
718
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:25.369
up a handful of grass and you say, where did
719
00:47:25.409 --> 00:47:28.840
this come from? What is the sun doing? Why is
720
00:47:28.900 --> 00:47:32.880
it beating down on my head? Is it beating down
721
00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:35.519
on my head or beating down on my head? I
722
00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:37.800
still don't know how to say it. And I don't
723
00:47:37.860 --> 00:47:39.880
want to know because I want the mystery of life
724
00:47:40.219 --> 00:47:44.059
to continue forward. Well, you don't want to look dumb.
725
00:47:45.820 --> 00:47:52.480
Says who? Says the guy with a D +. D
726
00:47:52.500 --> 00:47:56.260
plus what? D plus... D plus.
727
00:47:58.610 --> 00:48:04.630
C plus pickled mice in the jar. You know, if
728
00:48:04.690 --> 00:48:06.550
you had said that in my class, I would have
729
00:48:06.570 --> 00:48:11.250
given you an A. You perfectly put it together. Although
730
00:48:11.289 --> 00:48:15.719
you made one fatal mistake. You used the word mice
731
00:48:15.820 --> 00:48:20.440
instead of mouse. And it's like putting an apple down
732
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:23.619
on the teacher's desk when really what they want is
733
00:48:23.659 --> 00:48:26.079
some nice pasta from Italy.
734
00:48:27.260 --> 00:48:29.780
Well, as Cher said, you can't turn back time.
735
00:48:33.800 --> 00:48:38.219
That's a clip. It is. You know what?
736
00:48:38.619 --> 00:48:40.949
It's been a while since you said something like that.
737
00:48:41.269 --> 00:48:46.590
It's been a while. I was a little self-conscious that
738
00:48:46.670 --> 00:48:48.829
I haven't heard that phrase in a while.
739
00:48:49.690 --> 00:48:52.289
Well, you could say phrase or you could say Frasier.
740
00:48:53.050 --> 00:48:55.260
What's the difference? Well, one's a TV show, one's not
741
00:48:55.340 --> 00:48:55.909
a TV show.
742
00:48:57.489 --> 00:49:00.469
We used to have an officer, Frazier, in the Maple
743
00:49:00.489 --> 00:49:04.039
Bluff police force that I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin.
744
00:49:04.659 --> 00:49:11.840
And old
Al Frazier, Chief Frazier, he wouldn't give you
745
00:49:11.860 --> 00:49:13.159
a DUI or anything.
746
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:15.679
He'd just send you home. That was nice of him.
747
00:49:15.860 --> 00:49:19.050
Those are the old days when you really could drive drunk.
748
00:49:20.250 --> 00:49:23.030
I wasn't driving at the time. I was only 16,
749
00:49:23.030 --> 00:49:28.449
but it was before my time. But all the old
750
00:49:28.610 --> 00:49:33.849
folks that were driving home in their giant Lincoln cars
751
00:49:33.889 --> 00:49:36.929
would smash into trees and they'd be like, just reverse
752
00:49:37.010 --> 00:49:37.590
it and go home.
753
00:49:38.219 --> 00:49:41.099
That's nice of him. That's nice. But who's going to
754
00:49:41.179 --> 00:49:44.119
stick up for the trees? In a situation like that,
755
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:48.079
where there is a victim, such as a tree, who says,
756
00:49:48.219 --> 00:49:51.320
what is the collateral damage of such an animal? Well,
757
00:49:51.340 --> 00:49:52.980
they say, what is an animal? I said, a tree
758
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:56.429
is a living thing because there's different levels of living.
759
00:49:56.489 --> 00:50:00.710
You've got inanimate objects that are alive, but it's small
760
00:50:01.010 --> 00:50:04.730
vibrational force. Then you've got one step forward, but you've
761
00:50:04.750 --> 00:50:08.349
got animals. You've got cats, horses, things like that. then
762
00:50:08.389 --> 00:50:10.449
you've got the human being at three, and then you've
763
00:50:10.469 --> 00:50:15.179
got hell at four. You said, well, why wouldn't hell
764
00:50:15.219 --> 00:50:18.469
be at eight or nine? It's very close to the
765
00:50:18.510 --> 00:50:19.079
human life.
766
00:50:19.940 --> 00:50:25.280
Are you saying babies are three-year-old kids? Are you talking about,
767
00:50:25.300 --> 00:50:27.039
are you numbering here?
768
00:50:27.420 --> 00:50:30.539
No, I'm simply saying that a human being can grow
769
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.860
horns if you are in that particular sect. If you
770
00:50:35.900 --> 00:50:39.889
are predisposed to life, That is saying you are alive,
771
00:50:40.010 --> 00:50:45.280
you're living, or you are left astray, like a stray cat,
772
00:50:45.900 --> 00:50:51.719
level two. Oh, level. Level two. It's the second branch
773
00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:52.360
of the olive.
774
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:57.519
My brother hit a bunny once, and then we got
775
00:50:57.559 --> 00:50:59.849
out of the car, and we had to kill it
776
00:50:59.869 --> 00:51:00.530
with a shovel.
777
00:51:02.409 --> 00:51:03.090
Which brother?
778
00:51:03.590 --> 00:51:06.530
That would be the one older than Kevin.
779
00:51:06.550 --> 00:51:07.170
That was Chris.
780
00:51:07.929 --> 00:51:09.909
And I was in the back seat, and then we
781
00:51:09.929 --> 00:51:11.809
happened to have a shovel in the trunk of my
782
00:51:11.849 --> 00:51:16.949
mom's car. And as he was crying, he was smashing.
783
00:51:16.449 --> 00:51:20.389
It with a shovel. Are you serious? No, yeah.
784
00:51:20.449 --> 00:51:23.940
He wasn't trying to kill the bunny, and then he
785
00:51:24.019 --> 00:51:25.940
just ran out in front of the car. But it
786
00:51:25.980 --> 00:51:26.659
wasn't dead.
787
00:51:26.780 --> 00:51:29.119
So he was trying to put the bunny down.
788
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:32.500
But if somebody drove by, they would see two, three
789
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:36.590
Farley kids with a shovel Killing a bunny.
790
00:51:36.809 --> 00:51:37.110
Crying.
791
00:51:37.130 --> 00:51:40.530
They wouldn't realize that we accidentally hit the bunny, and
792
00:51:40.550 --> 00:51:42.769
they accidentally had to put it out of its misery.
793
00:51:44.110 --> 00:51:47.429
And like Misery, the movie, we took a shovel to
794
00:51:47.489 --> 00:51:48.739
it and killed it.
795
00:51:50.349 --> 00:51:50.730
Keep going.
796
00:51:51.530 --> 00:51:54.429
And then two weeks later, I was in the car
797
00:51:54.469 --> 00:51:57.039
with my brother Kevin, and a duck flew in front
798
00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.719
of us. Very close call. Happened to have a mate
799
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.099
flying behind it, and we hit that. But that was
800
00:52:04.139 --> 00:52:05.260
in front of a bunch of people.
801
00:52:05.500 --> 00:52:08.300
And they all went, oh. And he just kept driving.
802
00:52:09.840 --> 00:52:16.550
Because he had to focus on the road? Yeah. Okay. No,
803
00:52:16.610 --> 00:52:22.869
I'm asking. No, I know. And I'm responding, shh, yes. Okay.
804
00:52:24.590 --> 00:52:26.889
You know, sometimes when I talk with you, it's like
805
00:52:26.909 --> 00:52:29.079
you're talking to someone else. Why is that?
806
00:52:30.079 --> 00:52:33.860
Well, I just don't want to be looked at like a... Like,
807
00:52:34.219 --> 00:52:37.329
we didn't stop for the duck. But we didn't stop
808
00:52:37.369 --> 00:52:39.989
for the duck because we were confused at first. By
809
00:52:40.030 --> 00:52:42.289
the time we realized it was a duck that we hit,
810
00:52:43.590 --> 00:52:45.010
we were a good mile away.
811
00:52:46.570 --> 00:52:49.090
Or half a mile. We were a ways away. Too
812
00:52:49.150 --> 00:52:53.909
far away to turn around. That's a great book. I've
813
00:52:53.949 --> 00:52:56.829
read that book, Too Far to Turn Around. Too Far
814
00:52:56.869 --> 00:52:59.199
to Turn Around. Gone Too Far to Turn Around Now.
815
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:01.800
That's another song. That's a song. Gone Too Far to
816
00:53:01.820 --> 00:53:04.909
Turn Around Now. That's a great song. Yeah. Patti LaBelle.
817
00:53:04.949 --> 00:53:08.070
As opposed to your dad when he says, I'll turn
818
00:53:08.110 --> 00:53:10.829
this goddamn car around if you don't settle down back there.
819
00:53:11.190 --> 00:53:14.340
Now, your dad, he would get very, you know, he
820
00:53:14.360 --> 00:53:20.900
would get volsterous and intense. But was
he... Explosive. Explosive,
821
00:53:20.940 --> 00:53:27.519
but mostly in language? No, never language. Never language.
822
00:53:27.579 --> 00:53:36.760
Just temperament. His temperament would change. And because we were,
823
00:53:37.730 --> 00:53:42.050
you know, four boys, that we wouldn't get in the
824
00:53:42.110 --> 00:53:47.050
car fast enough. Or this was back before remote controls.
825
00:53:47.550 --> 00:53:51.090
We wouldn't change the channel quick enough. And we'd get
826
00:53:51.150 --> 00:53:53.820
a scotch-laced ice cube thrown at the back of our head.
827
00:53:54.429 --> 00:53:56.380
And we'd say, turn it to channel four.
828
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:00.900
So he had a good arm. He had an accurate
829
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:02.539
arm to hit you in the back of the head. Yeah, yeah.
830
00:54:03.449 --> 00:54:06.619
Fish that ice cube out of a scotch-laced bottle and go,
831
00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:09.500
out of a lowball glass and chuck it right in
832
00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:09.900
your head.
833
00:54:12.260 --> 00:54:16.900
And how did he know? First off, let's go back.
834
00:54:17.420 --> 00:54:21.690
You lived in a time, you were alive, when there
835
00:54:21.730 --> 00:54:24.389
were no remote controls. I remember a time when they
836
00:54:24.409 --> 00:54:27.690
called them clickers, but you were around before clickers. Clickers, yeah.
837
00:54:28.289 --> 00:54:31.210
Yeah, we didn't have a clicker. We still call them clickers.
838
00:54:31.489 --> 00:54:34.329
We didn't have a... No, there was a time we
839
00:54:34.349 --> 00:54:40.230
didn't have a clicker. And yeah, we were the remote control.
840
00:54:40.429 --> 00:54:42.679
The kid sitting in front in the Indian style in
841
00:54:42.699 --> 00:54:45.239
front of the, or do you say cross-legged? In front
842
00:54:45.260 --> 00:54:48.840
of the television. Because we couldn't see. We all have
843
00:54:48.860 --> 00:54:51.420
glasses now because we were all staring at the TV.
844
00:54:52.019 --> 00:54:55.789
And then we'd turn the channel for him. And they
845
00:54:55.829 --> 00:54:58.789
were back when those big TVs that were like, you know...
846
00:54:59.489 --> 00:55:02.510
They looked like those portable fireplaces, those giant ones that
847
00:55:02.530 --> 00:55:05.800
were inside. And then there was speakers on the side
848
00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:10.280
of it. She was a Trinitron, a nice one, you know.
849
00:55:11.460 --> 00:55:14.900
But it was still one of those big old school ones.
850
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:19.909
Now you say old school, you mean like an ancient
851
00:55:20.309 --> 00:55:24.550
university or just in terms of this is something that
852
00:55:24.670 --> 00:55:26.969
happened a while back. It doesn't happen now. Let me
853
00:55:27.010 --> 00:55:31.920
preface it with such and such. And you had meals.
854
00:55:31.940 --> 00:55:34.539
Your mother cooked all the meals. Did you eat fast
855
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:35.650
food when
you were growing up?
856
00:55:38.780 --> 00:55:41.940
We did. I don't think my dad ever had pizza.
857
00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:46.239
We had pizza night when he'd go on the road
858
00:55:46.929 --> 00:55:49.550
to do his work, and then we'd get pizza night.
859
00:55:50.110 --> 00:55:53.750
But, no, we had....
860
00:55:54.110 --> 00:55:56.070
My favorite meal would be the.
861
00:55:57.250 --> 00:55:58.349
Spinach....
862
00:55:59.079 --> 00:56:06.559
Linguine with a, what's called a horse collar bologna. You know,
863
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:08.780
those horse collars that go around your, you know, those things.
864
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:12.000
And it was a ring of bologna that my mom
865
00:56:12.019 --> 00:56:14.500
would make and cut it up. And then we'd have that,
866
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:18.260
those green noodles, they, that was soaking in butter.
867
00:56:18.929 --> 00:56:20.469
And then we'd have that for dinner. That was a
868
00:56:20.489 --> 00:56:23.849
good one. And you're saying, because you kind of threw
869
00:56:23.889 --> 00:56:26.050
me for a second. You said something about a horse,
870
00:56:26.510 --> 00:56:29.500
a horse collar. But there was no horse involved.
871
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:33.380
No, the ring, the baloney ring looked like a horse collar.
872
00:56:33.780 --> 00:56:38.840
It looked like a, it looked like a, it looked
873
00:56:38.900 --> 00:56:42.250
like a, it looked like a, help me out.
874
00:56:42.269 --> 00:56:45.150
It looked, looked like a, do I say it like that?
875
00:56:45.190 --> 00:56:48.670
Do I say look like a horse collar? It looked
876
00:56:48.730 --> 00:56:52.570
like a horse collar. But in fact, it was baloney
877
00:56:53.030 --> 00:56:56.579
inside and out. With a hard, like crispy shell that
878
00:56:56.639 --> 00:56:58.320
snapped when you broke it.
879
00:56:58.360 --> 00:56:59.940
Oh, I love it. A bit of a crisp to it.
880
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:02.099
Something that's got a bit of a crisp to it.
881
00:57:03.420 --> 00:57:07.159
Very good. And so we had that. I thought there
882
00:57:07.179 --> 00:57:10.789
were five brothers. There's four brothers. There's four boys and
883
00:57:10.889 --> 00:57:13.710
one girl that we turned into a boy. Not really.
884
00:57:13.769 --> 00:57:16.789
She was the oldest and she's a bit blind, but
885
00:57:16.849 --> 00:57:20.510
she whistles like a songbird.
886
00:57:21.739 --> 00:57:26.570
I guess my family's home. okay well listen it was
887
00:57:26.670 --> 00:57:29.710
great having you anything you want to plug or tell
888
00:57:29.750 --> 00:57:31.130
about anything like that.
889
00:57:31.809 --> 00:57:34.670
Well the movie I did in Louisville was called Mini
890
00:57:34.710 --> 00:57:38.349
War it's with Nick Swartzen you know him he wrote
891
00:57:38.389 --> 00:57:45.179
it and it's with Owen Wilson and Vanessa Hutchinson and
892
00:57:45.219 --> 00:57:49.679
we had you know Brett Gelman was in it you
893
00:57:49.739 --> 00:57:54.969
had me you had Nick you had A few other folk.
894
00:57:55.250 --> 00:57:55.769
That were in there.
895
00:57:55.789 --> 00:57:56.690
Kevin Chamberlain.
896
00:57:56.989 --> 00:57:57.409
I don't know.
897
00:57:58.210 --> 00:58:00.190
And so that's going to be a fun one. And
898
00:58:00.230 --> 00:58:02.510
then you can see me as Coach Tate on those Dr.
899
00:58:02.530 --> 00:58:07.760
Pepper commercials. And, of course, Amazon commercials when the holidays
900
00:58:07.820 --> 00:58:08.280
come around.
901
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:12.400
John, absolute pleasure. I love to see what you've grown
902
00:58:12.460 --> 00:58:16.019
into your life, your disposition. I've grown into it. You
903
00:58:16.059 --> 00:58:19.539
turn out so well. And it really is a great
904
00:58:19.579 --> 00:58:23.719
pleasure to see you. Thank you, sir.
905
00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:29.219
You were, uh, you were great as a professor and
906
00:58:29.269 --> 00:58:33.309
I'm really happy that you're coming along and becoming your
907
00:58:33.349 --> 00:58:37.090
own man that you don't have to be, um, employed
908
00:58:37.130 --> 00:58:41.039
by the establishment like a university or anything. You can
909
00:58:41.079 --> 00:58:47.059
just go out there with no, no, uh, restraints and
910
00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:51.110
you can just be you and it's good that you're
911
00:58:51.139 --> 00:58:57.860
not teaching, uh, you know, standards and it's, you can, yeah,
912
00:58:57.940 --> 00:59:01.420
you're just, you're your own man and people can come
913
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:05.570
to you instead of you, people forced to go to you.
914
00:59:07.289 --> 00:59:09.949
You walk into a classroom and you teach. It's simultaneously
915
00:59:10.210 --> 00:59:12.070
as that. You don't have to have a background. You
916
00:59:12.090 --> 00:59:14.369
don't have to read books. You just have to go
917
00:59:14.550 --> 00:59:17.570
in there with the confidence and juxtaposition that you will
918
00:59:17.659 --> 00:59:20.500
take control of that room and let people think what
919
00:59:20.519 --> 00:59:22.400
they want. So you didn't get a D +. You
920
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:24.159
didn't even get a grade because I'm not even a
921
00:59:24.179 --> 00:59:26.340
real teacher. How does that make you feel?
922
00:59:27.570 --> 00:59:31.869
Pretty shitty because it went on my transcript. And you
923
00:59:31.969 --> 00:59:35.280
actually are, you were back then a real teacher and
924
00:59:35.340 --> 00:59:41.440
you did really give me a D +. So I
925
00:59:41.460 --> 00:59:43.639
didn't get, I couldn't go into the corporate world. I
926
00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:44.820
had to go into the acting world.
927
00:59:46.460 --> 00:59:49.380
And some say that's a virtue. So go enjoy your family.
928
00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:54.000
Enjoy being a part of this. I'm Professor Alan Volz.
929
00:59:54.099 --> 00:59:58.829

932
01:00:05.929 --> 01:00:13.539
who's Jeff Richards? No, it's just a Freudian slip. Freudian.
933
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:14.900
That's hilarious.
934
01:00:15.659 --> 01:00:16.659
You love Freud.
935
01:00:17.340 --> 01:00:18.380
You love....
936
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:21.380
Freud, wasn't that the guy that had sex with his
937
01:00:21.420 --> 01:00:23.199
mom and killed his dad or something?
938
01:00:23.570 --> 01:00:29.550
Gotta go. Bye. Gotta go. Good day. Good day, everyone. Goodbye.
