you feel more anxious about

5:43

anxious about it because they're in ads for

5:46

every time there is a season or every season

5:48

there's or time whenever it's the way it is bizarre

5:50

about turning yourself but turning

5:52

6:18

the as this thing i call fifty shades of

he's objective of the horses or not you as a parent

6:35

saying the eyes and exactly object as an

6:37

objective thing arm and

6:40

so sometimes we will come up to him and they want to lean

6:42

down oh hi and he'll

6:44

say adios that

6:47

he's bilingual adios

6:49

at what he says and they think a lot of times i think

6:51

6:53

very cute kid speaking spanish speaking

6:55

7:07

like you call we talked last i you he

7:09

said oh lots you and then when it was time to say

7:11

goodbye says adios in adios nice way so

7:14

sometimes adios means goodbye sometimes

7:16

it means the guy pal

7:18

like fuck off yeah see i want what

7:20

i hear and that is yeah on the one hand

7:23

it's sort of the the incense

7:25

version of i bid you good day sir

7:27

yes right yeah i get away from me see

7:29

our by

7:30

also

7:32

there is a flexing of healthy

7:34

boundaries yeah right he was like i don't need you

7:36

in my space right right yeah he's

7:38

like for him and sometimes it's not like it's

7:40

kind of a a nicer adios like adios

7:43

and he just turns and bells so not always

7:45

you have to leave but i feel like

7:47

it in the inflection it's kinda how cameo

7:49

low when we hear noise the name's

7:52

maria one that i've heard him do it he goes

7:54

outside is like a pow adios

7:57

his , i've heard him

8:00

in new york energy out by

8:02

die yeah so that's happening where i

8:04

went to the red hot chili peppers nice as

8:06

so fine in late july he

8:08

been gone along with in about seven veils

8:10

hell yeah did you

8:12

watch that untitled documentary that

8:14

if i , i i've

8:16

been meaning to watch it it love

8:19

the lore of the red hot chili pepper yeah and

8:21

i've actually been thinking about them a fair amount because

8:24

i spent a little bit of time with rick rubin recently

8:26

own we did a podcast that will be coming out

8:28

now for while not until the new the and

8:31

of course he's worked with them extensively

8:33

including on on the latest album but

8:37

i know you're of mega fan right

8:39

well right wasn't always april is but is

8:41

wasn't always vote because the problem with

8:43

me when i was a young snot is

8:46

that if you are popular automatically

8:48

didn't really want anything to do with you you

8:51

know like as a band or and film

8:53

or whatever i was that kind of an obnoxious guy

8:55

but i always enjoyed the music and fun music party

8:58

music but music didn't realize how much actually

9:00

probably aligned with amd that didn't pay attention

9:02

too much too who like anthony and flee

9:04

were in all that and obviously

9:06

and obviously of californication is their best album that's

9:09

my personal opinion it's my favorite yeah

9:11

and it's is there thirty seven

9:13

i think when they're recording that record and

9:15

touring around with it so it's like in some ways

9:17

it's like they're going to this kind wake

9:20

of greater wisdom and and still creatively

9:22

this incredible and outlawed energy

9:25

and so i know all that retroactively because

9:27

i just been enjoying the music more recently since

9:29

i've been with april many boroughs like

9:31

obsessed them knows everybody like i didn't know the

9:33

whole thing about john we see on t or

9:35

for sean say africa dad and rao about

9:37

his whole ordeal and and was like

9:39

are you such as a genius lcs

9:42

and like this the fastest so now

9:44

that i'm looking back and kind of a late like a

9:46

late blooming superfan which i

9:48

guess i am apr found this great

9:51

you tube documentary that was i think

9:53

unreleased and it's all about touring

9:55

behind the californication record stairs

9:57

it's stairs documentary people may have seen com funky which

10:00

is about blood sugar sex magic recording

10:02

that record and as really good spies

10:05

this other one is like another

10:07

level like they have chris rock

10:09

comes in woody harrelson makes a cameo

10:11

julia butterfly hill who is in the

10:13

top of the tree she's in it they bring in

10:15

like buddhist teachers they bring in all

10:17

sorts of people and they talk to them in

10:19

basically the green room backstage and they

10:22

have i mean it's a phenomenal piece

10:24

of verity and i love it it's so

10:26

weird and quirky and you get to know

10:28

who these guys are a little bit more and

10:30

a and so i i recommend

10:32

it will you should put will be a link or put the link i

10:34

was only going to shut out some make a mental note

10:36

to watch that it's he you know i mean whatever

10:39

, think of the red hot chili peppers clearly

10:42

there you know one of los angeles

10:44

as greatest rock bands of all time

10:46

like they are los angeles i think

10:48

they are i think they are the greatest band

10:51

in history of alex out the door is the duty

10:53

of their so you'd have the doors but the

10:55

chili peppers really personify l a and a

10:57

way that are the jurors luna yes it

11:00

is impossible the you

11:02

drive down melrose impasse fairfax high

11:04

school without thinking about the red eyes because

11:06

they all met there when they were like fourteen

11:09

yeah and have been together to granted

11:11

and in any other they were sweethearts

11:13

ryan anthony met their yeah and they're at their

11:15

their guitarist and original guitarist

11:17

yeah and that's sad little

11:20

, time again sad that we were both

11:22

on a at like up and i know that at that

11:24

nantucket project a couple years ago anthony

11:27

sober like i think and and he's point

11:29

11:34

analysis in the lead guy want in

11:36

the seat he wants to eat at both bad

11:38

says his memoirs incredible i have three

11:40

right over there i got really are i doubt yeah it's

11:42

it's an alum it it's a beautiful book

11:45

book search engine weird and like an accordion

11:48

funny i now as com and the hillel

11:50

saying when hello past and then join for science

11:52

a became the guitarist and then he had his problems

11:55

and was gone and in his absence

11:57

his sell like the band never really could find

12:00

groovy a now and having him back in the band

12:02

is like a pretty cool thing it's or share one

12:04

red hot chili peppers story yes so they

12:06

played at stamford

12:09

must have been nineteen eighty six i

12:11

remember going to ah

12:14

are you a concert it was outdoors of the

12:16

outdoor amphitheater there this

12:18

was during their like freaky style

12:20

a day when they really were dislike

12:23

this party down like starting out and

12:25

a concert was in the middle of the day and

12:28

there couldn't have been more than like maybe

12:30

two hundred people there like it wasn't a heavily

12:33

attended thing it wasn't like a must see situation

12:36

and it was in the era when they would play with

12:38

the saw in are basically naked with the socks

12:40

on yes snow in her of they're doing now

12:43

yes and i just remember

12:46

hank wise my friend hank

12:48

rise who i swam with at stanford

12:50

who is the guy who left a voicemail

12:53

as we talked about it he has the record for

12:55

fastest halloween a channel

12:57

swam right he's probably fifty

13:01

two now or something like that either

13:04

he's , a character and like a beautiful

13:06

we got ago so i love i love hanging out ago

13:08

some with them but hank is in extreme

13:11

extrovert and hanks is got up on stage

13:13

and put a sock on and like danced into the

13:15

whole they like i'll never forget

13:17

that it was unbelievable unbelievable

13:19

i would not have thought that time that

13:21

they would become this like superman

13:24

as funny i have a story like that with fish

13:26

and ninety ninety one in vermont and like some

13:28

gym in our community college shimmer

13:30

forget what are was but yeah you just never guess

13:33

they'd be they'd take the world by storm by

13:36

you know this the show was phenomenal really

13:38

great but it wasn't seat and

13:41

i will say back in the day

13:43

you go to a concert and you just buy the

13:45

ticket face value and if you've called early

13:48

enough you'd be like right the front row for like fifteen

13:50

twenty bucks and now like there

13:52

are hundreds of dollars for dollars seat to get anywhere

13:55

in that stadium by discuss

13:57

the economy of things and mean it does play

13:59

into the talk about later like i love

14:01

to see these bands in a getting

14:03

paid and doing their thing man very

14:06

very expensive now to just go to a concert

14:08

back than it was normal or answer

14:11

yes got a console that's right wasn't wonder when

14:13

it hits racing that would break your bank to now

14:15

so now yeah so that

14:17

gets into the wealth inequality stuff v

14:19

adam has little bit later but dive

14:21

yeah so that was great and and so fi

14:24

is a beautiful place however

14:26

it's kind of like orwellian like

14:29

you know in dodger stadium no matter where you are

14:31

you know how to get to where you need to go to the signs

14:33

everywhere and he could cigarette the system and so

14:35

fine a matter where you are you have no idea where

14:37

you are either than ariana kind

14:39

of an interesting now is that intentional

14:42

know , like a tech campus as a secret

14:45

with with by was

flats long time listeners

22:39

of the podcast will remember

22:41

a podcast that he did with sasha such as

22:43

your bossy and jamie

22:45

dornan the movie star we did that that

22:47

was episode three ninety eight the

22:49

while ago and that conversation was

22:52

around a movie that the social wrote and directed

22:54

called my dinner with or of a that start peter

22:56

dinklage that was on h b o such

22:58

as a screen writer and director and

23:00

the flap at i was staying in is really like his

23:02

office not his home but he was out of town

23:04

and i was able stay there which was fantastic

23:07

and the reason i bring that up is that i

23:09

have a podcast with sauce

23:11

are coming up that's going to release

23:15

on the twenty six september and

23:17

it's around it's around that saucer

23:19

made called anvil the story

23:21

danville did you ever see this document or know but i

23:23

saw that i saw your twitter thread that

23:26

about so this is what school so and valve

23:28

is the story of this heavy metal

23:30

band that was on the precipice of a

23:32

breaking big and then never really made it but

23:34

influenced all of these huge bands

23:37

that became wildly successful and

23:39

yet they never gave up on their dream an

23:41

sos a kind of caught up with them in their late

23:43

forties and they were still rocking out

23:46

making albums every year whatever see

23:48

i just playing pub since working

23:50

been a blue collar jobs to pay the bills

23:52

and he made his beautiful documentary about

23:55

their pursuit in their refusal

23:57

to give up on their dream and it's an indie

23:59

dot that he self

24:01

financed ah that ended up

24:04

becoming one of that's considered

24:07

one of the great rock documentaries okay i'm

24:09

it's a real life spinal tap and

24:11

right really beautifully rendered in the came

24:13

out thirteen years ago i did

24:15

a thread about it on twitter

24:17

on which you can see if you're watching here

24:19

are only get up in the show notes feds

24:22

it's really a thread about what it means to pursue

24:24

like an audacious stream and and never give up

24:26

and it's the story it's kind of the

24:28

parallel story of this band and

24:30

ill and saucers career

24:32

as a writer and director like

24:34

, said he sell finances documentary

24:37

thirty he was making it like fifteen years ago

24:40

he premiered at at sundance to great

24:42

you know reception and applause but

24:45

no buyers who wanted to distribute

24:47

it and i think he might had one

24:49

deal on the table that wasn't so great and

24:51

he was like fuck it i'm going to basically

24:54

release it myself which you

24:56

know in film parlance means you're kind of

24:58

the away like of a dr peter is going to put it

25:00

in theaters now it's different with streaming says before

25:02

streaming streaming was considered

25:05

like a lunatic move like you're

25:07

going hey to put it in the theaters the you

25:10

know if you do that maybe window

25:12

at for like you know a couple screening right

25:14

it's too expensive and he was able to you

25:16

know kind of bankroll a little bit of a release

25:19

and the movie went on to

25:21

great acclaim like so by taking

25:23

that risk it really establish

25:25

his career as a filmmaker and the film

25:28

and bill because it was successful

25:31

gave this down the career that they had

25:33

always sought that they kind of both succeeded

25:35

as a result in the nests ah but

25:37

it was a still small movie i mean people

25:39

the search unanimously beloved

25:41

by kind came and went pray wasn't like

25:44

searching for sigur man riding like that

25:46

sort of processed all of the round movies like

25:48

before amy yeah you know before

25:50

sugar manioc there was an well yeah

25:52

and all like the rock and roll community loves

25:55

at like there's tons of bands such as a million

25:57

stories of bands that his plan

25:59

on

25:59

the open their tour buses and now they just

26:02

they just love the movies

26:04

the reason i'm bringing this up is that during

26:07

the course of cove at during lockdown

26:09

for some reason somehow

26:12

gen z and millennials on

26:14

earth this movie and discovered it and started

26:16

just passing it along to their friend really

26:18

and it became like a thing an anvil

26:20

became a thing it was discovered by this

26:22

younger generation and that

26:25

kind of outpouring of love and support for

26:27

the movie suddenly like made

26:29

it relevant again and this distributor

26:31

or called utopia has stepped in and

26:33

they're now re releasing anvil

26:36

this fall in theaters across

26:38

the country and overseas like that

26:41

ever , like like indie

26:47

barely any movies end up in the movie

26:50

26:54

as sasa one of my best friends who opened up

27:54

help guru you didn't need you you knew my

27:57

arms got all his kind of like crazy

27:59

wisdom

28:05

so vast that are a couple quick

28:07

things i was in a porsche commercials i

28:29

28:44

who that chess is ,

28:46

i wanted to thank everybody for the the outpouring

28:48

of love around them like fremont episode

28:51

in in centenary n

28:53

slash amazing multiple

28:55

masters world record holder

28:57

in and in all kinds of kinds

29:00

affairs like i feel like the

29:02

world fell in love with that guy like it's just

29:05

a beautiful things are pretty nice so

29:07

many people excited to hear from some to use

29:09

one hundred years old and my gosh and in the end

29:12

up the phone like i don't think we do a very good a

29:14

and western society

29:16

of celebrating our elders and respecting

29:19

the wisdom that they have to share and have feel

29:21

like that podcast did

29:23

it was like my small part in trying to

29:25

rectify that and it was a school that

29:28

people really cottoned on to him and loved when

29:30

he had to share and you know he's it's

29:32

hard not to love them knows what makes

29:34

your podcast what it is you know like

29:36

the you find these amazing people

29:38

and put them on here and i've yet to hear from them

29:40

and sometimes they have a following with sometimes are

29:42

just really interesting human

29:45

beings that have that lot to say and that

29:47

and a yeah i'm steve

29:49

think the reason that we don't treat elders

29:51

as well as because when we were like six and seven

29:54

our grandparents board us with really boring

29:56

of stories the old days that are actually not boring

29:58

but he thought they were wearing enemy the against

30:00

the elder large decision was unique in

30:02

that well as the historically probably

30:04

always been the case rights but

30:07

nino in in earlier days

30:09

like we kept our elders close like we're

30:11

have been a village in rome are always there

30:13

and they helped with raising the kids are is an intimacy

30:16

to that relationship that is now

30:18

more rare than com same they weren't shoved into

30:20

the nursing home exactly yeah

30:23

it's fucked up where we do here seems

30:26

off yeah yeah i would

30:28

you wish you lived in a village yeah

30:31

i mean when you think like when i sit back

30:33

like some of my happiest i've

30:35

living circumstances

30:38

were communal like being in a dorm in

30:40

college or living in a house in college

30:42

with a whole bunch of friends like i don't know that i would

30:44

wanna do that now but there's

30:46

, about like being part of a

30:48

a group you know in a living situation

30:51

that holds a lot of that a crew and i think it's

30:54

deeply embedded in our in our dna

30:56

and now we define success as

30:59

as yourself in a in a large home

31:02

at the end of a cold a sack and separating

31:04

ourselves from each other that's exactly how

31:06

i define right that's how

31:08

you're how i'm

31:10

a lawyer hundred man hours of

31:13

i use it to tune into the susan

31:15

cain episode i'm going to learn about your interpersonal

31:20

about , call you an introvert who can be

31:22

periodically extroverted skyn i used

31:24

to be thought of as pure extrovert blessing

31:26

i've always been accurate with like this

31:28

deep vein of ensure version

31:30

and yeah maybe it's that converses

31:33

of me i more extrovert

31:35

but you can't be a writer or be

31:37

in love with writing without having a serious

31:40

streak of introverted career has completely

31:42

warped my personality hours of i had

31:44

a really winning right happy

31:46

personality before and now i'm cranky old

31:49

fucker and i

31:51

share about how can i just

31:54

ask one thing before we get a break because we

31:56

this is something different it's not even on our run

31:58

of show i feel like

32:00

we should talk about salman rushdie

32:02

endless just do you mean are we do

32:04

that okay before we do that yeah it was

32:06

on the mic fremont thing oh you want to close that

32:09

out there was a a real a

32:11

video that i put up where i believe

32:13

i like asked him what he ate

32:15

any kind of said a i eat you know

32:17

like a a whole food plant based diet

32:20

and are a lot of comments like tell us what

32:22

you actually eat right and in the longer

32:24

podcast he goes into some detail

32:26

but he only gave like one or two example so

32:29

i think he had self awareness around not

32:31

fully answering that question and you send me

32:33

an email saying here's a full

32:35

like picture of what i eat and so

32:37

i copied that email and i created

32:39

a google doc out of it that there's

32:42

enough pretty robust hundred house

32:44

of like a major mike free my diet

32:47

saw a link that up in the showers i'm not going to read it

32:49

but it's like two pages long of like

32:51

various meals that he enjoys

32:53

so you want to get on board on the mike

32:55

freeman diet had that link be

32:57

like magnified there and be here be like

33:00

my like my right like

33:02

he he likes it might he likes it

33:04

or som yeah salman

33:06

rushdie obviously the tragedy happened

33:08

he was attacked five ,

33:11

apparently never go away and

33:13

ah he was attacked by

33:16

a crazy person driven by

33:18

you know i guess extremists

33:21

thirty or you missed are extremists

33:23

by extremist religious ideas and

33:26

he survived so is a

33:28

moment there were it looked pretty dire like he wasn't

33:30

going to rise so the person who

33:32

did that failed was put that out there

33:34

failed at the job which is great but

33:37

also because he's so strong and

33:39

but anyway i saw you been

33:41

up being an intellectual like

33:44

yourself you might have some thoughts on the arm

33:46

and and mean it's it's interesting it's been thirty

33:48

years of fatwa and him right

33:51

and it's like that long for this to catch

33:53

up to him that that fatwa

33:55

you know in the minds of someone

33:57

who inhabits that level of really

34:00

the zealotry has never wavered rain

34:02

so finally it ,

34:05

and it's shocking but also we

34:07

shouldn't be surprised like this is the

34:09

modus operandi i have have

34:11

, way of seeing

34:14

the world that is you know

34:16

antithetical to are

34:18

you know liberal democratic yeah

34:24

you know it's shocking it's also something

34:26

that i think all writers or

34:29

people who are participating

34:31

in public discourse need to

34:33

take note of especially as the world you

34:35

know seems at least from my

34:37

perspective to be descending into

34:40

a certain level of dissonance and

34:42

chaos then i don't remember you

34:44

know in my lifetime yeah and

34:47

is disturbing the

34:49

the zealotry that is going

34:51

on obviously

34:54

when it comes to this kind of thing is is

34:56

real life and death stuff but then there's also the

34:58

zealotry of controlling women's

35:01

bodies and then we also have

35:03

this increasing zealotry of

35:05

political ideology which

35:08

is not the same by is still

35:10

there and so liberalism is about

35:13

the able to express everything right

35:15

and so we have to check ourselves against

35:17

this zealotry

35:19

and the police we hold so strongly and

35:22

we can't let these the

35:24

leave necessarily define our

35:27

worldview because when you do and you become

35:29

more more myopic then

35:31

you just go into this funnel that can lead

35:33

to a pre dark place yeah yeah

35:36

well those funnels seem to be tightening

35:38

they do is to and there's more them yeah yeah

35:41

a mother and daughter who conspired to formulate

that was born out of it on a rural

36:26

38:38

okay back to the south

38:43

you know we're talking in the break by

38:45

ah salman rushdie's

38:48

attacks on the first time right the japanese

38:50

translator of satanic verses was

38:52

killed the italian translator

38:55

was attacked and survived the

38:57

norwegian publisher was attacked shot

39:00

three times i believe survived i

39:02

think seventy nine people died

39:04

and protests around satanic verses so

39:06

when you see all of that you gotta

39:08

wonder like obviously

39:11

if you can't hold the rider responsible that's crazy

39:13

by like you do wonder like how does that way

39:15

like what do you think about dallas writing

39:18

something that leads to so much of

39:20

that is i can't even imagine

39:22

what can feel my yeah yeah

39:25

, mean it's quite treacherous yeah i feel like

39:27

the threat level like it or has

39:29

reached a different def con then

39:32

in past years like everything just

39:34

feels very heightened and and

39:36

there is see around can

39:38

i say this what will happen or i say this

39:41

and it's a weird horseshoe politics thing

39:43

because i think that applies on both sides

39:45

of the political blogger i'm obviously

39:48

you know the last historically being the champions

39:51

of free speech and now the

39:53

last you know being last you of

39:55

certain curtailing of free speech

39:57

you have right you know shouting for

40:00

brodeur free speech branch actions it's just

40:02

a very sad stream when is how many as you

40:04

time except when it comes to what you teach

40:06

kids in school right they're not yeah right

40:08

bring it all and or not i mean

40:10

i like you know when the search warrant was warrant

40:13

was executed i more lago it's like it's

40:15

ban the f b i again up the went

40:17

on the ethic act when it comes to a trans

40:19

issues like sick the as the eye on them

40:21

right now it's is so i tell ya you

40:23

know it's it's issue specific

40:25

when those agents showed up at marla ago

40:28

and ruined our perfect morning out

40:30

on the links a with it was treacherous man

40:32

i can imagine like how they would go into

40:34

the abyss emea was such a perfect day and mar

40:36

lago until that moment in i am now

40:38

a ah and listen adam where i know there's

40:40

great temptation to go down tomorrow

40:42

lago donald trump

40:45

oh right or alex jones

40:47

trial rabbit hole there's

40:49

a lot of delicious sudden fried

40:51

to be in our lives right with all of

40:53

that yeah let me tell you something i

40:56

heard something from a

40:58

writer you might have heard of called you've all know

41:00

a harare oh yes i heard him speak

41:03

and he said something that

41:05

really stuck with me and i actually been thinking about

41:07

it every single day he said don't

41:09

be a profiteer in the culture war

41:12

in other words like don't be a content

41:15

creator who is trying to monetize

41:18

strikes

41:20

or be a participant in

41:24

you know this this kind of ongoing

41:26

that or for hearts and minds i think there's a distinction

41:28

here because obviously if you have a platform

41:30

and you feel strongly about using

41:33

our platform to speaker truth

41:35

you should do that but that's different from

41:37

knowing how to activate

41:39

people or antagonize them

41:41

and doing it from you

41:44

know from a motivation place of profiting

41:46

in yeah i agree with them and i respect

41:49

that however sounds like he's never brunch with

41:51

alex jones over marla ago and that is

41:53

a wonderful what is actually slim italia

41:55

talk about a branch do you think that

41:58

that brunswick c d instead

42:00

of sitting down for brunch with alex jones

42:02

and enjoying however many bloody

42:04

marys he might enjoy a

42:09

and i we're not going to go there i was again

42:11

not guys want to say wasn't guess earns corner

42:13

however i guess demoralized i was just

42:16

there's who by scream and sometimes eating

42:18

out of town jobs in the business

42:20

that guy's open up an ice cream place in

42:22

manhattan video yeah it's called

42:24

chechen i forget what it's called what's

42:26

the guy's name began his friends with the school and

42:29

then molinaro the korean down and she went

42:31

there for the opening so it's nice

42:33

that he took his ice cream same

42:35

on tic toc and translated it into

42:38

a store for it and mortar brianna mortar

42:40

go in reverse was get him on the pod

42:43

you'd be good acts i know he listens well

42:45

now i feel bad i don't remember his name i'm with

42:47

you in the i don't sets

42:49

the low hanging fruit of the culture

42:51

wars now nobody needs as

42:54

moran now i

42:56

really don't want to be the muckraker

42:58

in that arena now can we joke

43:01

about it though the of course we

43:03

always can find but we're here today

43:05

adam the up to talk obscure

43:07

endurance sports has a we

43:10

live for an interesting raises

43:12

the sports news you didn't make the allies

43:14

yeah we're not participating in the culture

43:16

war but what we are doing is forcing

43:19

down people's throats a lot of people

43:21

throw the tiny sports

43:23

that most people don't carry out this is a sport

43:25

cas you never wanted ready

43:27

let's start spreads i go over to

43:29

you ah well we're going to start with one

43:31

of the larger sports minister was swimming

43:34

awkward close to my heart moon adam

43:36

death because a young man

43:38

from romania yell david popovich

43:41

at all as seventeen years old broke

43:43

the world record in the hundred freestyle

43:46

i'm doing what forty six eighty six at the

43:48

european championship series is the

43:50

youngest one hundred meter freestyle world

43:52

record holder there's lots of videos

43:54

on the internet of you know this

43:56

race if you're and swimming

43:58

twitter which i am yeah course everybody

44:00

and i i fall that guy that you you

44:03

know like is underwater form

44:05

is like the the most beautiful

44:08

unbelievable thing ever i support the video

44:10

ram like swimming like

44:12

look at as perfect form diane be

44:15

seventeen years old and break

44:17

that world record because if you're this

44:19

is a thing and thing talked about this with malcolm gladwell

44:21

like if you're that young

44:24

how many years of hardcore training

44:27

you have a new your belt right very many know

44:29

right now the how is he going so much faster

44:31

than any one ever has before

44:34

as such a young age when you think the answer as

44:36

he gets like the advance

44:38

of the human species like know got how world

44:40

records go awry i obviously

44:43

there's advances in training and nutrition

44:45

and recovery in the like the right informal

44:48

as as but you know is know is

44:50

that when you think a world record

44:52

will never get broken or there some feeling

44:55

or bar that would prevent

44:58

you know a human from ever doing a certain

45:00

thing and then they do we're all

45:03

kind of uplifted kinda good looking ahead to

45:05

super good looking kid obviously you

45:07

know huge bright new

45:09

star yeah and swimming and i mean is

45:11

as good as at me like as it goes after

45:14

i mean we have dress or and we have cade right

45:16

but yeah wrestles you know in the twilight

45:18

read his swimming career and he just did something

45:21

and it's twenty five meter pool at like the nc

45:23

a's or something he broke some i'm

45:25

payload record with of the two hundred and i can't

45:27

remember them is broken so many records was

45:29

really cool as they just did the single duel in the

45:31

pool that they do with ,

45:34

that often they hosted but it's a dual me between

45:36

australia deny news and they do all these wacky

45:40

as that's right and they fire off

45:42

like slain plumes

45:44

and they try to make it into like a spectacle and

45:46

they did this ah like ah two hundred

45:48

i am as and but you got to choose the

45:51

order of strokes now relies so

45:53

like they die than and one guy something backstroke

45:55

something one guy something freestyle one guy something butterfly

45:58

something they separate dramatically over the course

46:00

of two hundred meters and then you

46:02

know the guy who's like finishing with breaststroke

46:04

against the guys finishing with freestyle who's

46:07

fifty meters behind him like is he gonna catch

46:09

him he announced what would there's announced limit your order

46:11

really nice shot also goes to the malcolm

46:13

gladwell thing of like how do you make these more

46:16

obscure sports obscure interesting write you a mainstream

46:19

audience and mainstream think the in creative

46:21

and like letting go of traditional little bit and

46:24

you know experimenting with some of that stuff is fun

46:26

and cool it would you do a different order which

46:28

is usually backstroke first right now

46:31

it flies ally back for an ogre

46:33

yeah and they do like

46:35

really short races and yeah i

46:37

rise of stuff

46:40

we have to me other

46:42

things going on me popovich also said

46:44

the world junior record and the tuner

46:46

freestyle with the fastest don't

46:49

swim in history was the third fastest

46:52

or fourth fastest performance of all time third

46:55

fastest performer of all time so

46:57

clearly so clearly in the making yeah that's

46:59

this concludes swimming news

47:01

for role on episode seven hundred

47:03

matlosz move over to death valley dat

47:06

our it what we do have a little

47:08

bit of a an update on the badwater

47:10

situation now talked about the ass time

47:13

yes there was some controversy

47:15

over the women's victor

47:17

ashley paulson humor some people

47:19

who are skeptical that she

47:21

, won the race or

47:24

their might have been some shenanigans if you want to

47:26

hear us discuss that go back

47:28

and listen to that that's i thought it would

47:30

be the responsible thing to kind of update

47:32

everybody on on what's transpired

47:35

ah their the initial

47:37

whoa spy marathon investigation that

47:39

was really questioning the veracity of a results

47:42

are has done an exhaustive analysis

47:45

and ended up publishing another

47:48

post on this that goes into

47:50

extreme detail like analyzing

47:52

her garmin data and

47:55

yeah comparing her performance the

47:57

past other performers and

48:00

you're looking a gp x files and

48:03

grass and dinner talking

48:05

to people who are on course etc and

48:08

basically concluded you know

48:10

this post goes on and i are on forever what

48:12

lincoln up in the shots for basically ends up saying

48:14

that he can help the conclude that her

48:17

result is legit so

48:19

i just wanted up point that out super

48:22

there's another guy who on a sub stack

48:24

is not having it i'll

48:26

, dot up as well some guy named kevin back rent

48:29

alone post about these ugly saying that he

48:31

doesn't believe that she did it but luck

48:34

the marathon investigator guy

48:37

you know he really spent really lot of time

48:39

looking at this and towards

48:42

that and chris cosmen who's the race director

48:44

of yard water wrote a long post basically

48:46

saying she , this

48:48

victory and he explains

48:50

why and he also highlights a lot

48:53

of other other performances

48:55

that sort of came out of the blue which is part

48:57

of the dispute around ashley and

49:00

he includes to as gave dog

49:02

and says performs like the first time that he did

49:04

it and kind of coming out of nowhere as a bigger

49:06

guy and i'm actually in our in

49:09

distinguishing himself and then coming back

49:11

to without a huge improvement on the year

49:14

before and basically says this is there is

49:16

historical precedent for this so anyway

49:18

well if kaufman said so said believe i'm

49:21

chris costs men i mean he's run that race for every

49:23

has and is the law on badwater

49:26

yeah and well were you know talking about

49:28

one hundred and thirty mile races

49:30

on tarmac we got to talk about

49:33

owes talk lack of room and again

49:36

friend of the pod afghan if he he came

49:38

on the part because of adam adam is

49:40

you know the contact point there the connective

49:42

tissue owes not only

49:45

49:47

broke robbie ballenger central park record

49:50

and we talked about that before and

49:52

49:58

extraordinary one hundred and the plus

50:00

miles from montage

50:03

the very tip of long island like out

50:05

past the hamptons all the way to manhattan

50:07

50:09

to times square and he did it in

50:12

twenty one hours unbelievable which

50:14

is crazy crazy including

50:16

throwing down like six minute

50:19

plus pace during the last five

50:21

or ten k yeah and running a size

50:23

i think he ran a five fifty six sinama

50:26

50:28

a the free guy he called me i think miles

50:30

seventy s or something i talked to him during

50:33

ah and ah he ,

50:35

come through a house period was

50:37

high was like the hottest day the year he

50:39

also did it in our our

50:42

muscle midday the yeah now as

50:44

sorry as he's meant like yeah presses

50:47

humidity yeah and he made his you know he

50:49

said there is some darker moments as was harder obviously

50:51

then the and central park sang

50:53

in there were dark even you know they were darker moments

50:55

i mean i'm mostly because the weather i weather and

50:58

he yeah he definitely he dug a hole

51:00

but then he crawled out of and he was easy

51:02

saw the darkness yeah that

51:04

is unusual is that it all seems like a breeze

51:07

with them yeah for some reason because he goes hard

51:09

to he goes quick you know he goes quick by

51:11

he was able to keep going and killed

51:14

at once he got into manhattan and then i think

51:16

as think through owes form got on a plane

51:18

leaves the next day and i flew to tampa bay

51:20

the like entertain at him at box yeah hang

51:22

out with tom brady eyes with tom for any day

51:25

after east africa central park things

51:27

he went directly a man just went directly is

51:29

the i

51:33

the i spoke to ravi balancer

51:35

about it briefly and

51:39

he

51:39

he he loves those he was

51:41

yeah he's so impressed with that you know how

51:44

much faster owes ran the central park

51:46

thing then than he did and

51:48

, pointed out athletes that owes is a guy

51:53

a profile as a profile as sort

51:57

of like are not given his

51:59

do and of the running community like really

52:01

not well when you think of the great

52:03

ultra runners like he doesn't come to mind

52:10

amman talk to manhattan thing was that that would

52:12

put him on the map and a new and interesting

52:14

way and your ravi wanted to help

52:16

yeah i'm sure he's the i think he's done a lot about

53:20

that kind of stuff but i don't think is he

53:23

entered a former ultra thin and really doesn't

53:25

have much experience on trails period

53:27

of your lives in new jersey and run city streets

53:30

rice relatively flat terrain

53:32

ah but he put leadville on the calendar

53:35

he went out early to spend

53:38

time with robbie they

53:40

like where he was like living where the my tank and

53:42

robbie lives in a small colorado town and

53:44

they went up to lead all for like a training camps

53:46

so he could return the course and all of that

53:49

and eat it good or boy

53:52

did pretty good he ran leadville in

53:54

twenty seven forty four maze

53:57

and he was the one hundred and forty six finisher

53:59

overall that one hundred and eighteenth mail

54:01

he was forty first and a thirty

54:03

to thirty nine age group i'm

54:05

so it's not like oh he just went out and

54:07

and now on it but i was very interested to see

54:10

how , was going to do because when you see him

54:12

running you know a and on his instagram or whatever

54:15

he has this incredibly beautiful oh

54:17

yeah long stride he looks like

54:19

a a gazelle like a you know a track

54:21

and field athlete that's what a runner should look like

54:23

a yank when i see that but that's not how how

54:26

i like know like leadville

54:28

go like what is going to have like yes he ran

54:30

across the united states you're saying you don't want a believable

54:33

athlete you don't necessarily want to have a high

54:35

stride as my there's a lot of walking

54:38

and climbing and you know and it's

54:40

a whole different color kind of thing

54:43

you know so in my mind it was

54:45

like he's either going to absolutely destroy

54:47

and crush it or he's going to not finish and

54:49

so i think he seems like he ran

54:51

a really smart race and i'm sure a lot of

54:53

that had to do with robbie's robbie's

54:55

council and interestingly

54:58

he beat harvey louis by

55:00

like an hour or more harvey who

55:02

is a you know an unbelievably

55:05

an , elite ultra

55:08

you know distance competitor but i would

55:10

say what harvey's does so many

55:12

races you know well yeah guys like doing one

55:14

hundred mile race is like almost every weekend early

55:16

other weekend you know what would have happened

55:18

if harvey made leadville his number

55:20

one priority and focused on that probably would

55:22

have been have bit of a different thing but you

55:24

know for context our being

55:27

you're in his very first ultra

55:30

and you know besting harvey is is

55:32

like no small thing so congrats to both of them

55:34

love both you guys and just also

55:36

for context the winter adrian [unk] mcdonald

55:39

did it in sixteen hours and five minutes

55:41

which is unbelief gotta be a record right is

55:43

that a leno record i don't think it is i

55:45

dunno i should probably know that but i i don't think it's

55:47

a record the crazy kind

55:50

hours a day or easier to do this hope

55:52

58:27

the forty km not sure but

58:30

the big one is coming up this weekend

58:32

is gonna be an interesting showdowns

58:35

i think that there's a really good chance that

58:37

some american women can distinguish

58:39

themselves this year i think the the race to watch

58:41

on the men's side ah ,

58:43

going to be gym walmsley

58:46

58:48

france was done done

58:50

58:53

a gym has had trouble cracking

58:55

this race i think this will be his

58:57

fourth attempt is never won

59:00

it this year he for went the

59:02

western say one hundred to really just focus

59:04

on this race kind of the way lance

59:06

armstrong was the first to

59:09

really focus on a tour de france where i didn't

59:11

do all he like opted out of a lot of

59:13

the other races to so he could he

59:15

was like this is the one that matters and the it's interesting

59:17

that matters gym is having that approach to

59:19

1:00:15

quote unquote

1:00:17

am i calling myself with the wimbledon of freediving

1:00:19

i don't know it now has been said by so

1:00:22

many people in so many different publications

1:00:24

i can remember at least barrett the

1:00:26

great photographer i think ah

1:00:28

defined it that way to me way back when

1:00:31

and i stolen from her and put it in print

1:00:33

and ah you plagiarizing

1:00:36

faster plagiarizing it's hey

1:00:39

what's it called it's a license yasser

1:00:41

allies and owed in our hoods

1:00:43

ah so this year the

1:00:45

, performances how that just have

1:00:47

to open it up there are four

1:00:50

disciplines that people compete in there

1:00:52

is constant way which is with on one second

1:00:54

yeah let me to say she asks

1:00:57

here we are back talking about freediving again

1:01:00

try out a sign out as sign try to

1:01:02

escape like strange

1:01:05

world that no one cares about yeah here

1:01:07

we are again i specialize in st

1:01:09

charles that no one cares about he get his

1:01:11

they're like a governing body to have freed

1:01:13

either is not about not be paying

1:01:16

us for , this promotion

1:01:18

after when i say they might not want to

1:01:20

access access

1:01:23

i sat with a with basically

1:01:26

just break it down there are four disciplines there's

1:01:28

constant wait for he slept with him on offense

1:01:30

there's free immersion where you put yourself down a

1:01:32

rope and back again

1:01:35

i'll on one brass there's i'll on know

1:01:37

fins that means are just two and a breaststroke

1:01:40

down basically amount of my brush stroke and back

1:01:42

and then there is constantly by

1:01:44

since just like the see orlando in

1:01:46

this photograph right here it's

1:01:48

a long by fantasy spear fishing

1:01:50

and wexham oh yeah very flexible individual

1:01:53

for exactly and they are tethered

1:01:55

to align they swim down on one breath

1:01:57

grab a tag and bring it up and

1:01:59

once they the service they have to prove that

1:02:01

they're with it and there's and surface protocol

1:02:03

involvement with they are to get a white card

1:02:06

to get points to get credit for if it's a record

1:02:08

there were two men's world records

1:02:11

at this event one was one hundred

1:02:13

twenty seven meter free immersion die

1:02:15

from a t s molina from poland who

1:02:18

i've seen dive once before and ah

1:02:20

of mega performance he'd tried it twice

1:02:23

the first attempt he did not make it the

1:02:25

second and he turned early the second time

1:02:27

he did make it and then there was one hundred and twenty

1:02:29

meters from our nose or all he

1:02:32

is a twenty six year old young

1:02:34

study i think he's the most exciting young

1:02:36

athlete on the men's side that we've seen in quite

1:02:38

some time in the sport so it's pretty great because

1:02:40

he did something that we've never seen with by since

1:02:43

by since were even i'd category when i was kind

1:02:45

of cataloging all this for one breasts

1:02:48

but at the at that time and i think he believe in god

1:02:50

or hundred meters and by sense because

1:02:52

ah you know says are taking especially

1:02:54

can't even do it really that efficiently right

1:02:57

most people who compete even with bisons

1:02:59

are doing a dolphin thousand is a way

1:03:01

more assistant this guy kick

1:03:03

scissor kick back from that

1:03:06

mm it's amazing i i put a video showing

1:03:08

the i dunno does he npr

1:03:10

has a video m i didn't see the first

1:03:13

twenty meters by the time i saw a video he

1:03:15

was already free falling in the video isi

1:03:17

i sent you an npr clip that

1:03:19

they put it on their instagram of our know

1:03:22

i'm and i spoke with him and he is a

1:03:24

just really delightful guy he grew up spear

1:03:26

fishing in france and just

1:03:29

fell in love with i'm going

1:03:31

deep and he always used by fans it

1:03:33

was like second nature for him and so

1:03:35

for the last five years he's been able to have sponsors

1:03:37

and compete a and just focus as a professional

1:03:40

athlete i'm and he is going to

1:03:42

start looking at the mana finn because i mean

1:03:44

if you're doing one twenty and by fins

1:03:46

what's your potential with a monica and remember the

1:03:48

record is one hundred and thirty meters ahead so

1:03:50

that's a a lexi's world record and

1:03:53

alexey wasn't there and

1:03:55

that brings us to ada a

1:03:57

he was banned from vertical blue

1:04:00

the wimbledon or freediving in the i target literally

1:04:02

eight it is the governing body eight as the governor

1:04:04

body of there's two competing ones but

1:04:06

for this eight as a governing body and

1:04:09

ah they took that women and for freediving

1:04:12

literally and band russians when

1:04:14

white russians compete arm as if

1:04:17

ladder your food and had any idea what first

1:04:20

got through or a day as out

1:04:22

, sell lexi who has obviously

1:04:24

is not in saver have any of this was

1:04:27

banned and it's unfortunate because

1:04:29

then you had a chance to have records broken

1:04:31

back ah speaking to alexi

1:04:33

he's highly confident he could he's going

1:04:35

to take both records back when he's allowed to

1:04:37

skis hoping to get a pass or made it to compete

1:04:40

in the next competitions coming up his

1:04:42

training right now and in class turkey

1:04:45

and he's told me that when he thinks

1:04:47

the human limited on these guys be bar even

1:04:49

scratchy at he says he has a lot less denim

1:04:51

and is eager to do it but

1:04:54

he also was of good spirits his eat you know are

1:04:56

no is one of the most snobs athletes loves

1:04:59

are now and was really happy for

1:05:01

him and so he like his just the way the

1:05:03

talked about it was ah it was amazing

1:05:05

so ah it's unfortunate

1:05:07

ah think for vertical blue and for vertical dozen that

1:05:09

they would ban their best athlete

1:05:12

is a seems especially when they're trying

1:05:14

to sell like pay per view to get to see the dive

1:05:16

i and you don't have your best athlete they're

1:05:18

just is struck me as athlete kind of the

1:05:20

wrong choice on the women side

1:05:22

a link art neck is the deepest woman ever

1:05:24

on constant way and

1:05:26

she had hit a hundred twyla hundred twenty five meters

1:05:29

in training and that would be a new world

1:05:31

record that she attempted a hundred and twenty

1:05:33

three meters a thinks her records one twenty

1:05:35

two she's had two hundred and twenty three meters

1:05:37

on her first dive and didn't make guess

1:05:39

i'm in fact since the blackout was her

1:05:41

first black mountain competition so never

1:05:43

had enough for her second i've she doubted

1:05:46

back in one hundred and eleven meters comfortably

1:05:48

good enough to win that discipline but that was

1:05:50

the only white card dive she did she kind of

1:05:52

hinted at burn out on her instagram and it's

1:05:54

taken a step back in his shows you that

1:05:56

like this obsessive compulsive the keep

1:05:58

going to keep going you can buy back

1:06:00

at you was i've heard of from other

1:06:03

athletes south obviously i'm a huge

1:06:05

fan and respect or like a lot

1:06:07

some hoping that ah

1:06:09

you know everything's good and she's back out there

1:06:11

fatima corak of hungry one the overall

1:06:13

for women and that's it

1:06:15

i want to shout out also to my power

1:06:17

great freediving from japan name's had so hora

1:06:19

who is more of our jan add

1:06:22

, i've vince yeah he's been at every com it is

1:06:24

i've i've been out i think every time

1:06:26

i've been a vertical blue he's been there and

1:06:29

am he's com and dove with acid doom a

1:06:31

couple of times and he hit ninety six meters

1:06:33

his personal man said that that

1:06:35

pretty cool mom and so

1:06:37

sad sack address i'll send a will subregion

1:06:39

another great another i really

1:06:41

hope to get back to long island one day and

1:06:43

see these guys can p is fun to see orlando

1:06:46

bloom they're pretty cool yes so

1:06:48

sad that's what caught my attention

1:06:51

is orlando bloom's instagram post

1:06:53

yeah where , gorgeous

1:06:55

photograph of him that him

1:06:57

right there with the bisons is it not yeah

1:07:00

he got on the line i think he did you know there's there's

1:07:02

opener dives and they have whoever like

1:07:04

they kind of give that as it's for the

1:07:06

itself like kind of the first pitch and

1:07:08

saturn of he didn't know better damn i think he did and

1:07:10

santa ana how did he went but he got on the line

1:07:13

and did a dive they are he was as

1:07:15

a he was there camilla jabber and are as

1:07:17

at the my be harbor she's

1:07:19

, mexico see did some national records

1:07:22

and she works as

1:07:24

start doubling in some business so

1:07:26

i'd seems like he was there's see her son the maybe

1:07:28

they've crossed paths paths

1:07:31

like sees world record as a hundred and thirty

1:07:33

hundred thirty meters with constant weight and he

1:07:35

has ah think it was hundred twenty six meters

1:07:37

and free immersion and you

1:07:39

just imagine that that's then

1:07:42

you gotta go back rights we have double that

1:07:44

right and now imagine basically

1:07:46

swimming that distance in a pool without

1:07:48

taking a breath while swimming

1:07:51

two hundred and sixty meters so

1:07:53

that that isn't even accounting for you

1:07:55

know all of the pressure and of

1:07:58

afghanistan fiat unbelievable dynamic

1:08:01

is what you're talking about and i

1:08:03

i'd have to look what the world record

1:08:05

is in dynamic and ass going

1:08:07

back and forth and though a looks like

1:08:09

the world record for

1:08:11

dynamic is almost three hundred

1:08:13

meters on they see yeah

1:08:16

three hundred meters that

1:08:18

mathias as well molina so

1:08:20

he had that's that's three hundred meters in

1:08:22

a pool back and forth back and four and

1:08:24

the way one way i know yeah

1:08:27

they're them in their hold their breath for like four minutes

1:08:29

in a swimming a that is the record

1:08:31

for civil right now talking though lexi

1:08:33

he thinks that the record like he thinks the human

1:08:35

limit for consummates like hundred and fifty

1:08:38

meters that's what he thinks and close to that he's

1:08:40

brewing up a special events and

1:08:42

that i i won't league now and hopefully

1:08:44

as it comes to fruition but it's another big

1:08:46

spectacle so he's i did he took

1:08:48

it personally anything in different ways of come

1:08:50

back to it but at the same time he to get lightly

1:08:52

says most at the same time so

1:08:55

yeah i just think any time the

1:08:57

i got the same thing with wimbledon i think the hold

1:08:59

russian athletes accountable for the decisions

1:09:02

of very few people and i'm in this case

1:09:04

one the person who is obviously

1:09:06

scenes and is

1:09:08

just silly doesn't make any sense to me

1:09:10

and as another thing that we talked about

1:09:13

with with , gladwell

1:09:15

yeah because his whole legacy of speed thing

1:09:17

is all about like them the intersection

1:09:20

of sport and activism

1:09:22

and the role of the athletes

1:09:24

at the olympiad and and

1:09:26

up with the conclusion when you kind of look down

1:09:28

through history is that these bans are

1:09:30

really ineffective they might be motivated

1:09:33

by good concern sure

1:09:36

they're not actually doing anything like

1:09:38

actually allowing the athletes who are victims

1:09:40

and all of this to compete and perhaps

1:09:42

providing an opportunity for the

1:09:45

athletes to have the ability to

1:09:47

be activists should they choose to

1:09:49

is a better route towards addressing

1:09:52

that concern agreed in

1:09:54

only addressing banning medvedev only think was the

1:09:56

world number one of the time from wimbledon and

1:09:58

like he's not joking we're be and i were

1:10:00

banning joke about cigarettes is like is a

1:10:02

lot of banning going on ms like to

1:10:04

me like joke of it's was banned from australia

1:10:07

for the sign up and he's a band for here

1:10:09

i don't agree with his take on vaccines and on agree

1:10:11

with it or are think it's a mistake i think he has

1:10:13

shown some behavior that is questionable

1:10:16

ah at times during this thing

1:10:18

but it's amazing greatest it's is

1:10:21

arguably the best ever if

1:10:23

you're running the tennis comfort tennis it's think he can't tell

1:10:25

me that the guy it's not like he's the number one ranked

1:10:27

person he just a new guys he's been

1:10:30

around for around long time he's made he's made

1:10:32

of these people lot of money is great

1:10:34

for the sport and you

1:10:36

can't make a special exceptions for one of the

1:10:38

greatest of all time see i personally

1:10:40

i understand rule of law by i

1:10:42

think we can make exceptions for the greatest of us

1:10:45

i think i think we can either a

1:10:48

leader standards that is an elite enough

1:10:50

is an elite i'm not i'm not saying off the

1:10:52

the elite remains i agree on break the

1:10:54

rules adam that's what you're saying i'm

1:10:57

saying in our in our like tiptoeing

1:10:59

into the culture wars i'm

1:11:01

not saying the great uncertainty away from neither

1:11:03

have neither say the grades can break the rules

1:11:05

i'm saying of their sadly what your snow i'm

1:11:07

saying there should be exceptions to certain

1:11:10

rules for exceptional

1:11:12

human beings right that's inherently

1:11:14

by definition and elitist statement but

1:11:18

you know here we are talking about it there's no

1:14:34

press on this know i google

1:14:37

that there's not one i mean there's an article

1:14:39

like steve movietone us did a p saying that

1:14:41

he was going to do it and it was an article

1:14:43

about the various competitors who are going to tackle

1:14:45

the forty bridges but not one article

1:14:47

was written about ,

1:14:49

results or you know what he had

1:14:51

accomplished i couldn't pitch him because

1:14:54

a i couldn't bring it to new york times

1:14:56

because we've covered him when he did ocean seven

1:14:58

so it's unclear if they would have done it again anyway

1:15:00

and also because i collaborated with him on his book

1:15:03

it's kind of i can't really now it's

1:15:05

stories on him because i know i'm too well yeah a

1:15:07

trump we're not going to talk about alex

1:19:20

jones who we are going to talk about

1:19:24

one rainn wilson dwight

1:19:26

schrute from the office wire we heard

1:19:28

of about this item because

1:19:31

you put a video up a highlight reel

1:19:34

you're doing is cool cliffs now you're

1:19:36

doing these highlight clips on your

1:19:38

on your instagram which

1:19:41

i love by the idea they also got you have a tick

1:19:43

tock are they going on and six are going on here to talk

1:19:45

to although i don't have anything to do with tic toc

1:19:47

okay aj manages that would tell

1:19:49

people how this all started because like i think people

1:19:51

need to that why because you've just kind of launched

1:19:53

these and and round these people are love and on

1:19:55

but die so tell us how the so

1:19:57

started so when i when i had cove it the

1:20:00

second time yeah and i was lying in

1:20:02

bed all day bored out of my mind i

1:20:04

just thought like my relationship to instagram

1:20:06

has always been relatively cavalier

1:20:09

like yards through pictures from

1:20:11

the latest podcast i always make announcements

1:20:14

about you know who's on the show ah

1:20:16

, beyond that like i don't treat

1:20:18

it like a business it's are like i'd

1:20:20

post want to see a like ed and and

1:20:23

just don't want to be beholden to it or

1:20:25

feel like it's an onerous an

1:20:28

but while i was lying in bed i was like and and

1:20:30

so i probably so posting i

1:20:32

post once a week or twice a week

1:20:34

or something like that ah farm

1:20:36

lying in bed and we have all this contact

1:20:39

cause for every episode we generate always

1:20:41

videos and we have all these assets and

1:20:43

i in of sharing like a tiny fraction

1:20:45

of what we actually has historically

1:20:48

going actually over like you know

1:20:50

hundreds of episodes i thought well i'm

1:20:52

just here i wonder what would happen if i did bled

1:20:55

the seed and just like poorest three times

1:20:57

a day like when times see what happens

1:21:00

on so i started doing that particularly

1:21:03

video of his i started that instagram is favoring

1:21:05

that right now and there's a lot of shifts

1:21:07

and you know their algorithm what they're serving

1:21:10

up to be born on people are disgruntled

1:21:12

about that you can be angry and wished and instagram

1:21:15

was different than it is or you could just be like

1:21:17

well this is what's happening right now

1:21:19

with see what happens if i just get on

1:21:21

board with that and start

1:21:23

in are sharing what what their

1:21:25

savoring and so i did that in

1:21:28

these videos ended up getting a lot of use

1:21:31

and we added like one hundred thousand new

1:21:33

followers to the instagram account

1:21:35

and like two weeks and like the growth was ridiculous

1:21:38

and the thing about it is if the algorithm doesn't

1:21:40

like the video the no one sees it anyway so it's

1:21:42

not like wise rich posting so many videos

1:21:44

rice ah so from

1:21:47

that experience we sort of came

1:21:49

back and said well as really prioritize

1:21:51

this how can we elevate the

1:21:54

a static of the reels that were

1:21:56

showing so we're distinguishing ourselves him

1:21:58

and really presenting

1:21:59

the wisdom of the podcast gas in

1:22:02

the most elegant way possible

1:22:04

and the team com

1:22:06

specifically damn you know came up with

1:22:08

this new design wish i'd love and is beautiful

1:22:11

and people seem to enjoy and some

1:22:13

of these videos have gone on to do millions of views

1:22:15

but the one video that

1:22:17

isn't the real viral outlier

1:22:19

is his clip from the podcast

1:22:22

that i did with rainn wilson and reza

1:22:24

oslo on were rain

1:22:26

goes on a bit of a jaunts about

1:22:29

how to spend your time as a twenty

1:22:31

something basically saying right that

1:22:33

you know young people

1:22:36

colleges people are

1:22:39

, concerned with their future and

1:22:41

super stressed out and are having

1:22:44

higher rates of depression etc because

1:22:47

of the pressures incident to trying to

1:22:49

figure out what to do with your lies in his message

1:22:51

was basically like don't sweat it like your

1:22:53

twenties or for experimentation there for

1:22:56

going out for the world gathering experiences

1:22:58

and not worrying about your

1:23:01

career trajectory and just enjoying

1:23:03

your life while you don't have a

1:23:05

lot of ties or or responsibilities

1:23:07

or obligations and so may wishes play

1:23:10

the way out as quickly what

1:23:12

is your wish to die i don't even worry about

1:23:14

not trying get it figured out like your to the

1:23:17

point of your twenties is to try twelve

1:23:19

different things and fail at nine

1:23:21

of them but truthfully

1:23:23

in society right now you talked to so many

1:23:25

college kids and they're so depressed dot on

1:23:28

his honeymoon cause they don't they haven't gotten

1:23:30

the perfect internship over the summer and they're not

1:23:32

i'm pre enrolled in the perfect grad programs

1:23:35

and they don't have their arm you know their

1:23:37

their job a lie know i know

1:23:39

it's hard to make a living out there you know it's hard to have

1:23:41

a career make a living is much worse than in

1:23:43

the eighties and nineties when we were you

1:23:45

know getting or education's nonetheless

1:23:48

, you view the twenties is a workshop

1:23:50

stage and it gives you some

1:23:53

six and relax a little bit so anyway

1:23:56

that video has that video

1:23:58

the moment of this for

1:23:59

learning accumulated twenty point

1:24:02

seven million views and spend

1:24:04

viewed more , any other

1:24:06

piece of content i've ever shared on the

1:24:08

internet and and the reason

1:24:11

that i'm bringing it up isn't just because

1:24:13

it was viral it's because the

1:24:15

comments section here was so

1:24:18

the evenly split on the one hand you had

1:24:20

people saying ,

1:24:23

absolutely i agree this

1:24:25

is what i did during my twenties and i had such

1:24:27

enriching experience and it informed

1:24:29

everything that i do today and i wouldn't

1:24:31

trade it for anything matched

1:24:33

by the equally loud

1:24:36

number of people saying this is the worst

1:24:38

advice ever write like what a privilege

1:24:40

see no way old man in

1:24:42

a and i i i just you know this

1:24:44

is this is like if you don't understand

1:24:47

my lot live feed you you

1:24:49

have no idea how hard it is right now

1:24:51

etc i just started that was super

1:24:53

interesting to see that divide

1:24:56

and divide don't have the demographics on the divider

1:24:58

i would suspect that the people who

1:25:00

are disputing this disputing either

1:25:03

young people who are having really hard time

1:25:05

right now or are people

1:25:07

who have just you know struggled

1:25:09

in the answer dire

1:25:13

circumstances to like make their way in the

1:25:15

world yeah

1:25:16

and what's your take on it while

1:25:18

you sign on has an array in order

1:25:20

to i know privileged white male i

1:25:23

i mean i share rains perspective yeah

1:25:25

i did not

1:25:27

take that advice as a young person i was

1:25:29

one of those people who was very stressed out and

1:25:31

career oriented and now looking

1:25:33

back i wish that i had spent my time

1:25:36

in my twenties to really figure out

1:25:38

who i wanted to be in the only way that you can do

1:25:40

that is by trying lots of things

1:25:42

and failing at them and having many

1:25:44

many many experiences and not worrying so

1:25:46

much about the ladder of

1:25:48

your career trajectory and this is

1:25:50

something that's been echoed by

1:25:53

lots of wise people that i've had on the podcast

1:25:55

perhaps most notably by like stephen press

1:25:58

field who had who had jobs like was

1:25:59

the military and mop floors

1:26:02

and or even know you know like i just a whole bunch

1:26:04

of jobs that put him you

1:26:06

know in

1:26:07

communities of people that he wouldn't have otherwise

1:26:10

matt put him in circumstances and

1:26:12

environments that were very different from

1:26:14

what he was used to and i think

1:26:16

when you do that you become a more

1:26:19

enough kind of robust individual

1:26:21

you understand different walks of

1:26:23

life different perspectives

1:26:26

on you start to figure out what you

1:26:28

enjoy doing and what you don't enjoy doing

1:26:30

it's hard to intellectual lies that like have to

1:26:32

go into the world and do things to

1:26:35

, out like oh that that's not what i thought it

1:26:37

was is now for me or wildest thing i never

1:26:39

thought of before like has led me into this other

1:26:41

direction which is fantastic

1:26:44

and i think to put

1:26:46

a button put a thought

1:26:48

you know the person who comes to mind is david

1:26:50

epstein who wrote this , book

1:26:53

range or talk about constantly on

1:26:55

the podcast and his or thesis

1:26:57

is that when you canvas

1:26:59

exceptional performers across

1:27:02

all facets of expertise from

1:27:04

science star arts and

1:27:06

sports and business etc

1:27:09

the people who are truly

1:27:11

exceptional are generally

1:27:14

people who have done the

1:27:16

very thing that rain is talking about

1:27:18

done many many many things over the course

1:27:20

of their careers that end

1:27:22

up creating this very unique

1:27:25

set of skills that

1:27:27

the nose to them makes them perfectly

1:27:29

suited to be doing the saying that

1:27:31

they excel out later in life and

1:27:34

, think there's something really cool about that

1:27:36

an interesting now when you're twenty years

1:27:38

old and you're going out

1:27:40

into the world and you're trying to make

1:27:42

trying to and stand on your own to seats

1:27:45

it's hard to hear that right cause it is

1:27:47

harder now than it used to be and it's

1:27:49

not nineteen eighty the

1:27:51

when i got out of college nineteen eighty nine

1:27:53

it's a very different world is much more

1:27:56

competitive and there is

1:27:58

this increase in wealth quality

1:28:01

this is you know exacerbating

1:28:03

gap between the haves and have nots and

1:28:06

there's a lot more have nots than

1:28:08

there are housed in the house are getting fewer

1:28:10

and fewer in the middle class is completely

1:28:12

disappeared so it does

1:28:14

i do understand why with land

1:28:16

as quite indulgent to say go fuck

1:28:18

off for ten years and travel

1:28:21

the world that i do think if

1:28:23

you can find a way to do that and

1:28:25

not worry like linux

1:28:27

weenie as possible like don't like

1:28:30

the or don't pay rent somewhere like try to

1:28:32

find a way to make ends

1:28:34

meet and you know live a bit of a poppers

1:28:37

lifestyle so that you can have experiences

1:28:39

that is a gambit that i support

1:28:42

yeah me i used to know people miss my your life

1:28:44

to but will like we're older white guys so

1:28:46

well into understand i think maybe been

1:28:48

hard on global is now i think part of the blowback

1:28:51

is he's like three your twenties or were shot

1:28:53

stage he meant it but you know

1:28:55

that shows the perspective of looking back

1:28:58

when you're in your twenties the pressures you're so

1:29:00

real that is you can it's hard

1:29:03

to look at your life as a were shown stage

1:29:05

no one really looks at their life that way

1:29:07

like sit and watch ticking i'm guessing that's in retrospect

1:29:10

by he's not wrong i agree with what he

1:29:12

sang but in in a way

1:29:15

our life is workshop stage you

1:29:18

know like the way i look at it in

1:29:20

our life is a workshop stage it's about

1:29:22

getting to know yourself and be yours

1:29:25

yourself and be your best self

1:29:27

mean to me that's what it's about

1:29:29

right as it is the sorry to stay on

1:29:31

your words but when he said your twenties

1:29:34

or a waste of time that's like the first

1:29:36

thing he says in the club and i think has been misconstrued

1:29:39

like he's not really saying they're a waste

1:29:41

of time he says saying don't sweat

1:29:43

it like don't worry about it as like what what

1:29:45

you do now isn't missing critical

1:29:47

to what you're going to be doing in your thirties and so the only

1:29:50

thing i pushed back on is it is by

1:29:52

it's not but it's he didn't operate in a way and nine

1:29:54

way as you say it's nonlinear not in

1:29:56

a way that yeah it's not even harder to quantify

1:29:58

and you do have to be there's

1:30:01

control issues that come into right to like

1:30:03

you kind of have to be a little faith based like

1:30:06

i know i'm like mopping the floor you know

1:30:08

in some in a diner

1:30:10

in ecuador right now

1:30:13

spits it out this will actually

1:30:15

be informative later in life in a way

1:30:17

that i don't know or just it's

1:30:19

a fucking crazy experience right

1:30:21

by how am i this guy some

1:30:23

system i guess mop and a for neck or

1:30:26

this is like and while by what is going on

1:30:28

right now it's almost like that

1:30:30

we talk about woken as what about a weakness

1:30:33

like what about being awake to the experiences

1:30:35

you're having and not necessarily

1:30:37

looking at them as this something

1:30:39

that's going to accumulate and then benefit

1:30:41

me as if that's what we're always looking

1:30:43

for wow is this going to benefit me

1:30:46

what if it's benefiting u in just the experience

1:30:48

of it now that's not to say there isn't there are

1:30:50

dark experiences that can help you

1:30:53

but are not that fun to celebrate while their app

1:30:55

innings there are and will you know

1:30:57

i've had my share and there's a lot

1:30:59

more than i have an ad by

1:31:01

i do think that decides he would he sang is

1:31:03

correct that's what he's saying is there

1:31:05

is no says that he says swayze or way to time

1:31:07

a winning i think what he's hinting at his

1:31:10

there's no such thing as wasted time so

1:31:12

if you go out and have a good time and experiment

1:31:15

and do things you didn't think you would get into

1:31:17

or they don't necessarily add up in a

1:31:19

linear away to

1:31:21

your benefit later when it all starts

1:31:23

to crystalline the so i agree with him

1:31:25

i think the semantics is where people guys

1:31:28

got mess and in terms of like the

1:31:31

wealth inequality a how that plays into it i find

1:31:33

that really interesting as we were talking about this

1:31:35

and just we kind of came

1:31:37

in a in a loop back to an article i

1:31:39

share with you on defector which

1:31:41

defector is the place that a lot of

1:31:43

people from deadspin migrated

1:31:46

to i have never been to

1:31:48

the defector website before website believe

1:31:51

for a major a and like and like all these

1:31:53

and these writers after deadspin went

1:31:55

down in the wake of the whole gawker saying right

1:31:58

they created their own im

1:32:00

reporter owned saying called the defector

1:32:03

kelsey mckinney one of the sounders cofounders

1:32:05

of a defector wrote this great piece the

1:32:08

money is on is it in all the wrong places

1:32:11

and it's about wealth inequality but

1:32:13

through the lens of sydney sweeney

1:32:15

the actors from euphoria and white

1:32:17

lotus ah her career

1:32:19

basically she's using her career as this lens

1:32:22

events explore wealth inequality

1:32:24

on and it's about sydney's interview i

1:32:26

think it was in friday or how reporter i forgot

1:32:29

where do you a vanity fair for the of

1:32:31

get vanity fair look at it was about

1:32:33

see i'm kind of like

1:32:36

on hollywood reporter has a ringer has any

1:32:38

it was interview any kind of compared sydney

1:32:41

to some of her peers who come from kind of

1:32:43

legacy household sydney grew up

1:32:45

on she was not wealthy from

1:32:47

spokane washington when they moved there and

1:32:49

they all lived in a motel and our way while

1:32:51

she was trying to make in hollywood and

1:32:53

she does not come from money and

1:32:55

it's about how sees use or instagram see go

1:32:57

on her instagram d c she's she's making

1:33:00

deals man she's always working

1:33:02

and part of that reason is that this era

1:33:04

of stars as not you

1:33:06

know gilded as much as this as

1:33:08

your as before them because of the way things

1:33:10

are aunts and what chelsea's getting

1:33:13

at is because of the way the money

1:33:15

has filtered up top even

1:33:17

the stars are making what they used to

1:33:19

and self that's true white what about everybody else

1:33:21

what about writers and so she goes on to talk

1:33:24

about hemingway used to make a

1:33:26

dollar a word in the thirties sometimes

1:33:28

i make less than that to their you know

1:33:30

like i'm obviously no energy equivalent

1:33:32

to twenty one dollars have a word

1:33:34

twenty one dollars is a rice i

1:33:36

think i've nail but he makes that nobody makes as she

1:33:38

thinks she never known anyone make more than three

1:33:40

dollars word i think she said i've

1:33:43

, i think i made three bucks a word

1:33:46

of once yeah two bucks a word was like

1:33:48

the top that always wanted to guess

1:33:50

but often now with it when all these different

1:33:53

places to sell your to sell

1:33:55

i still only go to college tried to buy some

1:33:57

always i've always gone six i like those

1:33:59

outlet but also because i'm just used

1:34:01

to going to editors i now am

1:34:04

, prices have come down by there's

1:34:06

more opportunity so lot of people now

1:34:09

it's easier in a way to get published and ever

1:34:11

was but you're getting paid a lot less you

1:34:13

know instead of a buck fifty or a box against the

1:34:15

sensor less and so she

1:34:17

talks about that and says is great line

1:34:20

the shadow of our destiny is racing

1:34:22

towards us towards promise and meritocracy

1:34:24

was meritocracy lie and we all live in and

1:34:27

where the stagnant reality of that there's

1:34:29

that dread building dread bleakness it is already casting

1:34:31

already shadow on the future maybe you feel

1:34:35

i think meritocracy was always ally but it's an

1:34:37

interesting question about like where this

1:34:39

is all leading so that so article

1:34:42

yeah i mean what's would serve interesting and compelling

1:34:44

about this is that it's

1:34:46

a diatribe on wealth inequality

1:34:49

through like the parlance

1:34:51

of the internet because it's a hot take my

1:34:54

like sweeney is somebody

1:34:56

who got piled on because

1:34:59

in this hollywood reporter p c was

1:35:01

saying like i look i'd like to have a baby

1:35:03

and i can take off from work for a while

1:35:05

she was in the three million dollar mansions out

1:35:07

she's not exactly a sympathetic now

1:35:10

candidate for a discussion around

1:35:12

wealth inequality and curiously

1:35:14

mckinney takes this perspective

1:35:16

that like her point is valid

1:35:18

which is that the artists

1:35:21

are not being adequately compensated

1:35:23

for the art and it's not that art

1:35:26

isn't making as much

1:35:28

money as it always had if

1:35:30

anything it's generating more

1:35:32

wealth but that wealth is being

1:35:34

increasingly more and more

1:35:37

accumulated by the people

1:35:39

who sit behind large desks and

1:35:41

has no connection to

1:35:43

the actual creation of the art

1:35:45

is the executives right and it used to be

1:35:48

it's always been that way right that's used

1:35:50

to be and they use the example jennifer anniston

1:35:52

like you're on a hit show and it's syndicated and

1:35:54

then you have passive income for life and you create

1:35:57

generational wealth and now in the streaming

1:35:59

era it doesn't work that way anymore

1:36:01

and although sweeney who's one of the

1:36:03

top performers in

1:36:06

her age bracket and certainly and star

1:36:08

on the rise works all the time

1:36:10

and is being well compensated for that feels

1:36:13

like she has to be on or hustle game all the

1:36:15

time and has some leverage her instagram

1:36:18

for ads in a way that these other people

1:36:20

don't and is criticized for that but

1:36:23

she comes from humble beginnings and

1:36:25

sort of feels like this is what i have to do

1:36:28

and or to you know be

1:36:30

who i want to be in the world right and the point

1:36:32

being made by mckinney is regardless of if

1:36:35

you're wealthy or not or whatever your lifestyle is

1:36:37

like everybody deserves to be able to take time

1:36:39

off to have a baby and in this

1:36:41

modern age of

1:36:43

the increased well

1:36:44

disparity when the ceos

1:36:47

in the top brass are just making outlandish

1:36:49

amounts of money and the people who are actually generating

1:36:52

the actual things that are creating that wealth

1:36:55

or being less and less

1:36:57

respected for that like that's problematic

1:37:00

in terms of our society can

1:37:02

cohere long term and you know it's

1:37:04

like another example would be like looking at le bron

1:37:06

like he makes an unbelievable amount of money but

1:37:08

when you look at how much money the and be a generates

1:37:10

like there's certainly certainly good

1:37:12

argument that you could make the he should be paying ten

1:37:15

times what he's getting paid thrive and

1:37:17

when those guys take commercial deals no

1:37:19

one really criticizing it and you know when you

1:37:21

hear george clooney or matt damon

1:37:23

honor ad no

1:37:25

and criticizing them right like wintertime

1:37:28

just become every hour every hour for crypto

1:37:30

dazzling did get sick i designed a little bit

1:37:32

as most likely different didn't have that he

1:37:34

does he did i like yes you see a

1:37:36

basketball player doing a mountain dew out or sprite

1:37:39

hours like yeah that's what you do rise

1:37:41

part of the business somehow that

1:37:43

doesn't apply to people's instagram

1:37:45

in the same i also think it's like how

1:37:48

people have like acclimated

1:37:50

to that personality like there's like

1:37:52

the kardashians use their instagram

1:37:55

to sell stuff all the time right right i

1:37:57

don't do that and occasionally i have

1:38:00

the deals with park our sponsors that

1:38:02

require a social post here in there and

1:38:04

when i do that like it doesn't

1:38:06

go over as well thrive why is

1:38:08

that you know well i mean i think first

1:38:11

of all just declared by couple things that i feel

1:38:13

like i kind of made a mess of introducing this article

1:38:15

bites listen nobody cries for

1:38:17

hollywood creative especially people who are emmy

1:38:19

nominated actors the seem to have going

1:38:21

on now and cries for writers

1:38:24

nor should they by the way like we

1:38:26

make this choice to go into the business i don't feel

1:38:28

like i'm entitled to anything but it shouldn't

1:38:30

be like your welcoming martyrdom

1:38:33

no no no get like ernest hemingway know who lived

1:38:35

in beautiful places all over the world to be

1:38:38

the running that he was he was the most popular

1:38:40

novelists of the time in the thirties when he was getting that money

1:38:42

but i am and he was selling magazine

1:38:44

us i'm not defending how little we

1:38:46

make now because that's ridiculous like it

1:38:50

is not equitable by where

1:38:52

i guess what i'm trying to say is it was never easy

1:38:54

unite as conversation with an elizabeth

1:38:56

gilbert back way back in the day when i was struggling

1:38:59

and , a guy like it used to be so much easier

1:39:01

and i you think about that it was so much

1:39:03

easier get you get a feature eaten right

1:39:05

five features for a magazine a year and make

1:39:07

arraying and pam mortgage like spends three

1:39:10

or four months on a vanity fair price that's

1:39:12

what i'd always thought and then lives said

1:39:14

it was always hard it was never fucking

1:39:16

easy like no one asked us to do

1:39:18

this so like i'm not down

1:39:20

with the in a you see it all with

1:39:22

him on twitter writers complaining about the writers

1:39:25

are complaining about how i'm being treated however

1:39:27

the great com stoddard photographer

1:39:30

i was with once and who i not

1:39:32

with a d of man with tom stoppard snow

1:39:35

he , this desk fuck with theory and

1:39:37

it was all about like the people on the office don't

1:39:39

know what we go through and the may

1:39:42

yeah may get it's or criticize and

1:39:44

he called than the desk fuck with these are really

1:39:46

to death by quits not the people that are editing

1:39:49

by the people who are at the very very

1:39:51

top those are the real desk fuck

1:39:53

with and they are making too much

1:39:55

money and the results aren't being taxed

1:39:57

and ass and because of that we don't have six

1:39:59

months parenting leave in this country while

1:40:02

they're at certain countries have it the like i think that

1:40:04

austria both parents can

1:40:06

take six months at least off and

1:40:08

so we don't have that and it's because

1:40:10

of the way our society function society

1:40:12

it's a lens to look at that and it does

1:40:14

affect journalism because then you get patriot

1:40:17

star factory in our homes and so now

1:40:19

you have star journalists the

1:40:21

go out leave their publications and

1:40:24

then are now competing with our publications and

1:40:26

their own business right you had a couple

1:40:28

examples new and they would have they

1:40:30

end up doing leaning into these culture or

1:40:32

topics bright they can make money as who

1:40:34

incentive structure so heavily

1:40:36

weights and savers

1:40:38

that type of discourse yeah and people

1:40:41

are wildly rewarded for engaging

1:40:43

in that which makes

1:40:45

you know exempting yourself

1:40:47

from becoming a profiteer in the culture were

1:40:50

all the much harder right

1:40:52

because the temptation lives there

1:40:54

and is so interesting to look like this in

1:40:56

the journalism context you're setting

1:40:58

aside okay here we have this article

1:41:00

about sweeney and she uses her instagram

1:41:03

to eat out for advertising and

1:41:06

you know what does that say more

1:41:08

broadly about people

1:41:10

who are you know kind of

1:41:12

leveraging the internet to make

1:41:15

to make like if you're gonna step

1:41:17

outside the enclave of the

1:41:19

studio movie making business or

1:41:22

the news rooms of print journalism

1:41:25

to be and online personality

1:41:27

whether it's in our glenn greenwald

1:41:29

are mad tv or some of these other very prominent

1:41:32

people who have left the protective

1:41:35

you know cone of the publications to

1:41:37

create some stacks then it becomes

1:41:41

situation and which you have

1:41:43

to garner subscribers

1:41:45

how do you do that you have to attract attention

1:41:47

to yourself or how do you attract attention to

1:41:49

yourself is it by writings

1:41:51

you know long form nuanced

1:41:53

articles about how complex everything is

1:41:56

no it's about having a hot

1:41:58

take

1:41:59

that will be

1:41:59

last point in the public discourse

1:42:02

that will draw eyeballs to you and

1:42:04

activate people into subscribing

1:42:07

so whether or not

1:42:09

these are people acting in good faith

1:42:11

or not and you can have a debate about that

1:42:13

the incentive structures are so powerful

1:42:16

to drive people to create that type

1:42:18

of content that it creates

1:42:20

a different form of quote

1:42:22

unquote journalism altogether

1:42:24

and that's the kind of information landscape

1:42:26

that's we find ourselves in now

1:42:29

and some people are well suited

1:42:31

to you know participating in that ecosystem

1:42:34

and it hearing to their value

1:42:36

sad and staying true to

1:42:38

their journalistic principles and

1:42:41

others aren't and for those that aren't

1:42:43

i'm almost sympathetic towards them because the

1:42:45

economics of this are driving

1:42:47

behavior and such a powerful way that

1:42:49

it almost becomes impossible to

1:42:52

resist and this is something that i

1:42:54

think a lot about as a podcast or with a

1:42:56

platform like who are the people that

1:42:58

are want to have on the show like i know as i

1:43:00

get yeah as i invite

1:43:02

jordan peterson jordan peterson show that would probably

1:43:05

get a lot of views and a lot of

1:43:07

listens somebody

1:43:09

i'm interested in talking to say it's like

1:43:11

a constant reminder of

1:43:14

like okay why am i doing this who

1:43:16

are the people that i value and

1:43:18

that i want to celebrate who are the people

1:43:20

that i think i can have the most interesting

1:43:22

compelling conversations that are most

1:43:24

helpful to the audience and

1:43:27

really trying to make sure that

1:43:29

i'm staying true to that directive

1:43:32

in the midst of the

1:43:34

economic temptations that exist out there

1:43:36

that i think are pulling content creators

1:43:39

in all kinds of directions that's

1:43:41

our leading a lot of people in a good

1:43:44

people astray is

1:43:46

are so interesting points him when you're talking about talking if

1:43:48

he and thinking of it as the economics as

1:43:50

their big magnet it's pulling everything

1:43:52

into these different directions or the many magnets

1:43:54

are kind of pulling of all parts in

1:43:56

think of that as refine article

1:43:59

the also in the

1:44:01

, really is the message kind of goes

1:44:03

into marshall mcluhan and and it talks

1:44:05

about it out he goes back into

1:44:08

these thinkers and philosophers

1:44:10

who were looking at television and way television

1:44:13

impacted culture and then he takes

1:44:15

satin and goes into the internet and

1:44:17

obviously what goes on mentioned in

1:44:19

this article is the phone but the idea is

1:44:22

the medium itself is definitely

1:44:24

the magnet the medium

1:44:27

is what's driving us to this is

1:44:29

what's driving sydney

1:44:31

sweeney to feel like she has

1:44:33

to make that extra money v

1:44:35

in wherever way she can it's what's driving

1:44:38

the rider to like to write

1:44:40

about it and comment on it is it's driving me

1:44:43

wealth inequality is driving all

1:44:45

of it the medium itself is doing

1:44:47

that the medium is was taken you

1:44:49

know glenn greenwald or a matt taibbi and and

1:44:51

pushed them into reporting

1:44:53

in the ways they reporting now it's

1:44:55

not a criticism of either i never

1:44:58

really was a fan of the way

1:45:00

glenn greenwald conducted himself and

1:45:02

wrote his stuff i never liked his staff really

1:45:04

matt taibbi love his stuff

1:45:06

always have bites they both have

1:45:08

followed this kind of pattern of going from the last

1:45:11

now

1:45:13

so yeah going to the other side and the only question

1:45:15

left and they keep hitting that drum and beating that trump

1:45:17

why i dunno i dunno what's happening

1:45:19

in their business world but you're making the question maybe

1:45:22

it's because of this incentive and

1:45:24

it is probably but maybe it's also the incentive

1:45:26

comes from the medium itself well

1:45:28

there's the incentive and then there is

1:45:31

you know the response to the content

1:45:33

and the kind of external audience validation

1:45:36

a that plays into the

1:45:38

you know not just partisanship but the true

1:45:41

acrimony right and when you appeal

1:45:43

to a certain group and then your then champion by

1:45:45

that group it's it's then

1:45:47

you know sort of de facto that

1:45:50

you're going to feel like you want to continue

1:45:52

to pleased that group frame which is

1:45:54

antithetical to you know journalistic

1:45:57

ethics right and it is a weird

1:45:59

the kind of undefined space

1:46:02

in which it's unclear whether

1:46:05

this whether this is this opinion

1:46:07

piece does it matter shouldn't

1:46:10

matter like what is this is

1:46:12

a totally matters like we have

1:46:14

way too much opinion in the news why do

1:46:16

we do that is it because we're like

1:46:18

everyone one such as someone talks to him at the

1:46:20

camera everyone wants a certain town is

1:46:22

it and kid we ever find ourselves

1:46:24

moving back towards an objective

1:46:27

news landscape like i don't think

1:46:29

so no i mean if you don't put

1:46:31

genie back in the bottle right to the only way

1:46:33

as for you then to cure a your own

1:46:35

life and like i'm only gonna

1:46:37

rob lowe matic and in some regards city

1:46:40

them is always been there i do i want to tune

1:46:42

in to this outer world and the strike is

1:46:44

going on or do i not want to and

1:46:46

yeah defiant strike that balance by doubt

1:46:48

that i think the media being a message if

1:46:50

you look at it that way the problem

1:46:52

isn't really matt taibbi

1:46:55

glan now streaming the

1:46:57

desk fuck with whatever the problem is

1:46:59

that we are being driven hi

1:47:02

this technology in ways

1:47:04

that are not necessarily good

1:47:06

for the micro the south

1:47:08

or society the whole and

1:47:10

so you know where it's it's use that

1:47:12

way but ah it's viewed that

1:47:14

way this is alvin advancement this is great as a great

1:47:17

song true he has some some stuff is

1:47:19

not great and as a a good are

1:47:21

a good point in the ezra a piece

1:47:23

about am is it jonathan

1:47:25

haidt he and he wrote about

1:47:27

ah house there's no six for

1:47:29

a platform that allows

1:47:32

teenage girls were going through puberty to

1:47:34

post photos of themselves

1:47:36

maybe yeah like you know

1:47:38

looking for approval essentially at

1:47:40

the height as been really great on

1:47:42

this subject matter if subject matter that

1:47:45

i think is incredibly important

1:47:47

and i know it's come up many times on the spot as

1:47:49

but i'd i'm becoming more and more

1:47:51

convinced that it is a

1:47:54

great existential threat

1:47:56

to humanity yeah in

1:47:58

so many ways and

1:47:59

in i think jonathan haidt work on

1:48:02

this is really important of course trust on

1:48:04

harris who i'm hoping to get on the podcast

1:48:06

soon johann ,

1:48:08

his recent book about his struggle

1:48:10

with the found found this new book

1:48:12

that i'm about to recall the chaos and them seen

1:48:15

by max fisher who's a near sounds reporter

1:48:17

and pure surprise pure on

1:48:20

the v on this very subject matter the inside story

1:48:22

of how social media rewired our minds

1:48:24

and our world and he's coming on next

1:48:27

week so i got get to this book in the next

1:48:30

week but i'm glad that smart

1:48:32

people are thinking about this but this

1:48:34

feel strongly that we should

1:48:36

all be really thinking about this in considering

1:48:39

it profoundly because it is profound

1:48:41

yeah

1:48:42

and i we don't all have to take every

1:48:45

deal you know we don't have to make the most like that

1:48:47

the thing also mama's gonna keep throwing reels

1:48:49

up on instagram yes that's what

1:48:51

the market was especially there's especially point

1:48:53

a point and i'm i'm a hypocrite there

1:48:55

are rats the modern world we're all hypocrites

1:48:58

by were coming our way you in

1:49:00

ones and zeros on the internet has

1:49:03

made a you know a a living doing

1:49:05

this so it's , than

1:49:07

me too i was the biggest critic of amazon until

1:49:09

he and i wrote david birkin that's the

1:49:12

only place we can really sell it and and

1:49:14

he knows in bookstores see him and on has

1:49:16

the right guess every plate guess every part

1:49:18

in you being able to make the result

1:49:21

was able to give up half my shift said ben and jerry's

1:49:25

we i live a decent one thing

1:49:28

about how like the medium impact our attention

1:49:30

obviously we know that right is it a sense in

1:49:32

it's in attention economy we're all we're all like

1:49:34

either donating our attention are hoarding

1:49:36

for attention she's my my language

1:49:39

but it does affect how you function i

1:49:41

never read several books at once except

1:49:43

in college and now i've i've got

1:49:45

like five books go and you know it all talk like

1:49:47

some of his work related research some

1:49:50

of it's six in that i want to read some of it's

1:49:52

like nonfiction , know i should

1:49:54

now i'm some it's flee need

1:49:57

i mean lasted for the children actually yes

1:49:59

actually really like it that's what's funny

1:50:01

is actually liberate i see a new juggling

1:50:04

side bucks as problematic south

1:50:06

know that i never before or but as you know

1:50:08

but i think if he owns different than it was before

1:50:10

am i making us about me again now i

1:50:12

mean are you trying to make the argument that your

1:50:15

lapsing into some kind of attention deficit

1:50:17

driven by internet culture

1:50:19

and us what yeah i don't i don't really see that

1:50:21

now i don't see the connective tissue between

1:50:24

those two things i think us if you were saying

1:50:26

i'm struggling to sit down and

1:50:28

read for more than ten minutes at a time

1:50:30

without getting antsy that would

1:50:33

be

1:50:33

more

1:50:35

mine okay retracted yeah

1:50:37

for drugs the fact that you're reading for your like gets

1:50:39

terrible i'm reading five bucks right now like

1:50:41

most people have trouble getting through one

1:50:44

book rouse they're so distracted

1:50:47

that so you do you bro

1:50:49

sorry i felt i was like out of those

1:50:52

things , out like you're putting yourself

1:50:55

on the back by criticizing yeah yeah yeah

1:50:57

1:51:37

ought to get a listener quite as nearest one

1:51:39

thing i will point out though yeah there was a great

1:51:42

long , very long read

1:51:45

read times i mean i don't like and like as

1:51:47

he gets sick an hour to have to read the full article

1:51:51

it would take most in

1:51:53

most people wouldn't finish it's quite right but i love

1:51:55

it is called willie nelson's long encore

1:51:58

arm is a beer fargo with me photographs

1:52:01

about you know this legend willie nelson

1:52:03

who's now approaching ninety and is still

1:52:05

touring like crazy is still

1:52:08

very much you know in his creative

1:52:10

juices he put out nine albums

1:52:12

in the past five years and i just think it's

1:52:14

on the heels of the mike freeman podcast

1:52:17

coming out and on the subject

1:52:19

of like rethinking aging

1:52:21

and and embracing longevity

1:52:23

and what we're truly capable of the fact

1:52:26

that this beautiful artist your

1:52:28

is still out on the road and like the

1:52:31

music out

1:52:32

there's no tomorrow is something cool

1:52:35

to be celebrated i mean he's truly a national

1:52:37

treasure i didn't realize that he was that all

1:52:39

his eighty nine am yeah yeah and

1:52:41

got emphysema and still singing and playing

1:52:43

shows as crazy now shoutout

1:52:46

to steve tip my boys disturb for

1:52:48

recommending this read and yet

1:52:50

no dimming of his creative

1:52:52

light now that that that makes me feel is

1:52:54

very inspiring that makes

1:52:56

me glad i target range advice and advice

1:52:58

and my twenties thirties and forties because it

1:53:00

means i saw the lot to yeah a me what he thought

1:53:03

like if willie nelson sat down and looked at

1:53:05

that rain will see club what do you think willie nelson

1:53:07

would say he be like i'm

1:53:09

still doing exactly

1:53:11

what he would say now of eleven season

1:53:13

he knows i've seen that article willie nelson

1:53:15

didn't become a hit till he was forty and didn't do

1:53:17

his most critically find work till

1:53:19

he was forty five so like you

1:53:22

know he know he say he agrees anniversary

1:53:24

yeah so there you go that i

1:53:26

always but the point i'm trying to make is the he

1:53:28

says it's harder now i'm not so sure it's always

1:53:30

been hard what is always the yeah

1:53:32

but but this time adam years

1:53:34

damn yeah her and look it is harder i'm

1:53:37

very sympathetic to young people to somebody who

1:53:40

i have two stepsons that are twenty eight twenty

1:53:42

seven like seven like a pretty good sense of

1:53:44

what it's like out there through their

1:53:47

shared experiences and it is harder

1:53:49

in our butts that i don't think

1:53:51

is worthy enough the

1:53:54

you excuse

1:53:56

the value of trying to figure out

1:53:58

a way to have

1:53:59

the answers and experiences when you're young

1:54:02

the is that is the time to do

1:54:04

i did have had my life completely

1:56:07

changed by the years of wonderful

1:56:09

information and eating a feet and diet

1:56:12

for the past year than incredible

1:56:15

thanks so much you guys have guys have day

1:56:17

ah thank you adam gray question

1:56:19

basically this is a question about

1:56:22

the tension between setting big goals

1:56:24

and meeting family

1:56:26

expectations or having to deal

1:56:29

with perhaps , as

1:56:31

much support as you are looking for

1:56:33

in your home is tricky right and i think the

1:56:35

way that i would answer this is that first of

1:56:37

all like goals are super important everybody

1:56:40

should have goals they serve as as

1:56:42

powerful potent life

1:56:44

lighthouses to kind of really focusing

1:56:47

direct your actions and

1:56:49

actions think the goals

1:56:51

there have a further purpose which is this

1:56:53

beautiful way to kind of spark a deeper

1:56:56

level of engagement in

1:56:58

your daily life experience

1:57:00

to get out of bed like energize

1:57:02

in excited about your tackling

1:57:04

something audacious or something as

1:57:06

scares you a little bit like it's a really

1:57:08

energy see a man i had a rates

1:57:11

and are energized and or of isn't enter very

1:57:13

amusing and are very correctly or the in a raid

1:57:15

means he drained of out you're right i've

1:57:17

done that before i , to

1:57:19

really six figure that out yeah energy

1:57:21

into mediums all right thank you for

1:57:23

correcting the answer answer

1:57:26

i'm trying to say that big goals can help you

1:57:29

feel like more alive for

1:57:31

eight cm but i seek it out

1:57:34

and adam already realizes this that

1:57:36

these big goals have to be

1:57:38

negotiated with those with

1:57:40

whom we share responsibilities otherwise they

1:57:42

can quickly devolved into selfish

1:57:45

pursuits that end up undermining the

1:57:47

other important aspects of your life

1:57:50

including of your relationship with our loved

1:57:52

ones and our ability to live up to our

1:57:54

responsibilities and are professional

1:57:57

obligations and expectations and

1:57:59

speaker by definition

1:58:01

our time and our energy is limited

1:58:03

it's not unlimited all of this

1:58:05

becomes a tricky balance

1:58:07

like how do you strike the appropriate balance

1:58:10

, those two things and i think it begins

1:58:13

by by beyond

1:58:15

this discussion around goals temporal

1:58:17

goals and instead getting really clear on

1:58:19

values and this is something is came

1:58:22

up in the podcast with seems clear

1:58:24

like you should read his book atomic habits if you

1:58:26

haven't read that because the talks all about this

1:58:28

so basically what i'm saying is

1:58:31

starting with your values identifying

1:58:34

which values you terrorists most

1:58:36

and there's no right or wrong answers here like

1:58:38

maybe it's your marriage

1:58:40

maybe it's parenting career finances

1:58:43

health fitness adventure

1:58:45

you know it's just getting clear on the priority

1:58:47

list of these things and then figuring out

1:58:49

like how are these values

1:58:51

being most nourished daily

1:58:53

and then getting granular

1:58:56

to ask yourself if sixty

1:58:58

k race sits

1:59:00

in do that value sat

1:59:02

or value structure or whether it comes

1:59:05

at the peril of these other

1:59:07

values right like does it exceedingly

1:59:10

threaten your marriage or marriage

1:59:12

relationship and then asking well

1:59:14

asking it does is it worth it worth

1:59:16

is there a way to pursue this goal nurse

1:59:19

these values and keep both

1:59:21

as an intact so intact other

1:59:23

words about asking yourself

1:59:25

whether the goals the cells the

1:59:27

value why is this race importantly

1:59:30

what are you seeking to learn inexperience

1:59:33

in getting clear unlike our just seems like a cool

1:59:35

thing or scares me like okay well

1:59:38

let's go beneath the surface of that like

1:59:40

why do you have to do a race to do that

1:59:42

could you do something else or what specifically

1:59:45

is it about this race that

1:59:47

makes it so important that you

1:59:49

would

1:59:50

desire to pursue it even if your wife

1:59:52

has reservations about you doing it

1:59:54

right

1:59:55

then he goes important yeah you agree with that and

1:59:57

then get with that clarity it becomes a

1:59:59

how can you

1:59:59

asia like okay your

2:00:02

wife is scared what is she scared about like

2:00:04

what are those fears a she would get a mentally

2:00:06

scared that you're going to injure yourself or

2:00:08

is that fear of more to do

2:00:10

with you not being around as much

2:00:12

or when you are around being too tired

2:00:15

to you know basically be

2:00:17

present for her like are her

2:00:19

fears were gentlemen are her concerns

2:00:22

legitimate or

2:00:24

there's something that you can talk through with her

2:00:26

that would make or less fearful and

2:00:28

more welcoming of you pursuing this caucus

2:00:31

obviously severe and a healthy relationship

2:00:33

you want each other to be pursuing goals in iraq

2:00:35

beats you know mutual support systems

2:00:37

for each other so in this case

2:00:40

he doesn't seem to be on board with it

2:00:42

you can be disgruntled an angry

2:00:44

and resentful or you can try to understand

2:00:46

that and figure out a way to compromise

2:00:48

so that you're both comfortable

2:00:50

because you cohabitate together and you've gotta be

2:00:52

on the same page if you want your relationship

2:00:55

to continue in

2:00:57

a healthy way

2:00:58

and then without understanding like

2:01:01

holding yourself accountable to that like if you

2:01:03

can come to some compromise where she

2:01:05

says okay you could do it but i need to make sure

2:01:08

that you know you're still available for

2:01:10

x y and z or that we're going to do this

2:01:12

or that you're going to show up for me and these other ways

2:01:14

and then making sure that not only

2:01:16

do you do that but you do it with a smile on

2:01:18

your face and perhaps you even go

2:01:21

the extra mile to make sure that she's feeling

2:01:23

heard an honored in that like

2:01:25

and at ease with you pursuing

2:01:28

this goal and then the final

2:01:30

thing i would say is that

2:01:32

you know it's hard to know just based on your question

2:01:34

but it seems like or feels like you

2:01:36

have different calculus

2:01:39

is right like she seems to be a little bit more

2:01:42

risk averse than you you want to pursue

2:01:44

this thing that to me like training

2:01:46

for sixty k race doesn't sound that risky

2:01:49

i mean maybe it's super technical and you can fall

2:01:51

off a cliff i don't know his address

2:01:53

and minimum acceleration eighty five

2:01:55

hundred to eleven nine average ovation

2:01:58

ten is it seems like in the the ah category

2:02:00

rise again hundred and sixty chaotic

2:02:02

and are as long right yeah so

2:02:05

maybe some risk i don't know what late so i

2:02:07

frowned is and all that kind of thanks

2:02:10

you want to take a rest she's more risk averse

2:02:12

there's no right or wrong and that is totally

2:02:14

okay but

2:02:16

, relationship requires honoring

2:02:18

each other so you both feel safe heard and respected

2:02:21

so the sea of wiggle room

2:02:23

to you of wiggle room how can you work together

2:02:26

you work to a place where you're both comfortable with

2:02:28

as because you don't want to like say

2:02:30

i'm doing it anyway i don't care if you're scared

2:02:33

of not a good recipe

2:02:35

for that the sake of your relationship

2:02:37

but you also don't want to say oh you don't want me

2:02:39

to do and i'm not going to do i guess you're just gonna get

2:02:41

resentful towards are so you

2:02:44

gotta work it out and saw for me to say whether you should

2:02:47

or shouldn't pursue this goal only in

2:02:49

our only adam knows that that you know

2:02:51

that's where i was so either

2:02:53

get granular figure out if

2:02:55

the goal were that will go global from

2:02:57

getting level with going guys and

2:02:59

get granular than build a deck

2:03:02

so that you can read and so promising

2:03:04

my wife get

2:03:07

, or ever since that day that's what you're saying

2:03:10

now are now now

2:03:12

if as someone who is raising a is

2:03:14

raising young person with a lovely

2:03:17

lady the

2:03:19

sidelines advance i'm not unfamiliar

2:03:21

like were source yeah it was this is

2:03:23

right up your hours i've been evidence of

2:03:26

a dealing with this so that

2:03:28

i do find that it when he can communicate

2:03:30

why i mean some tea you

2:03:33

have a better chance of the wise you know

2:03:35

what yeah otherwise he a better chance of and

2:03:37

when he lover but it also means that you have to show

2:03:39

up when it's your time and you have a you we've talked

2:03:41

about you it's in your book nina you had

2:03:43

like you're taking on some of the biggest thing the are

2:03:45

to gone while having small kids

2:03:48

and that meant that you couldn't be tired

2:03:50

from your hundred k my rock in the door

2:03:53

like completely exhausted or use only handed

2:03:55

me handed fabius said see us right

2:03:57

yeah and you need any to be available

2:03:59

for that

2:03:59

though you know we both know this and it

2:04:02

sounds like

2:04:03

the knows it too because he's not just like

2:04:05

dismissing it entirely hear a seems like

2:04:08

you know he wants to do this thing he wants that yeah

2:04:10

sometimes it's like maybe

2:04:12

you work up to it maybe you compromised

2:04:14

by doing ah ya more

2:04:17

modest race this year and demonstrate

2:04:20

your good say like you met that goal

2:04:22

and you also were able to show up so than your

2:04:24

wife has more comfort with

2:04:27

you tackling something else and prophecies

2:04:29

was afraid like does this have

2:04:31

to happen this year can you work up around a little

2:04:33

bit more gradually thera seasons

2:04:35

to life and like may be used

2:04:37

to be freer and you could do these things a little

2:04:39

bit easier but that doesn't mean that was better

2:04:42

it just means you're in a different period your life sounds

2:04:44

and so you can't judge your current period

2:04:46

based on who used to be you have

2:04:48

to judge it on who you are now and

2:04:51

then that period will pass and you will be on the

2:04:53

take on some or risk at times i mean that's is the

2:04:55

way things go at how i look at it and

2:04:57

so i'm not trying to like underwater

2:05:00

in a five days a week is unrealistic

2:05:03

it won't happen if i do that i will never work and

2:05:05

you know that's not good news so

2:05:07

like i had to figure out a way to make

2:05:09

it work and it's a constant communication

2:05:11

to continue to make it work and so

2:05:13

i would just urge constant communication

2:05:16

and and just getting to know your most i have not

2:05:18

done the deep dive of goals and eyes and sounds really

2:05:20

interesting you

2:05:22

know i i i try to i'd kind of live

2:05:24

in moreover improvisational

2:05:27

yeah i , that side

2:05:30

panel let's move on near your

2:05:32

you dr i love the floor cause

2:07:13

i can't seem to enough for all the

2:07:15

knowledge inspiration you sir

2:07:18

hi

2:07:19

thank you and nida i'm sorry that you

2:07:21

went through cancer but it sounds

2:07:23

like you've come out the other side healthy

2:07:26

and that's ,

2:07:28

of course it also sounds

2:07:31

like maybe you're from argentina not

2:07:33

new zealand or really not really new

2:07:35

zealand accent no but

2:07:37

ah she lives in new zealand yes she does

2:07:39

why argentina or nods a twang

2:07:42

of latin in there yet

2:07:44

reminded me of a friend from

2:07:47

or the world and sounded familiar who

2:07:49

knows or your friend named che guevara

2:07:52

are you trying

2:07:54

to lure me back into the culture wars out

2:07:56

on the lg calls or or and resisting

2:07:59

i will not the profiteer anita

2:08:03

so thank you for the question pry

2:08:06

not the best person to ask about dating

2:08:08

is obsessed with my wife for twenty two years

2:08:11

and but i will say this advocates

2:08:13

that's healthy

2:08:14

and better the you

2:08:16

spend less time focusing on

2:08:20

the qualities of the person you're looking

2:08:22

for like identifying in your mind

2:08:24

like this person that i'm looking for has to have

2:08:26

these things in order for me to be interested

2:08:29

i to the it's not that you can kind of like go that

2:08:31

and instead focus more

2:08:33

on continuing become the

2:08:35

person you aspire to be i

2:08:38

feel like that's like that's use of your

2:08:40

your energy time and and

2:08:42

also a more powerful lever

2:08:45

and magnet or is attracting

2:08:47

that person you're looking

2:08:49

for into your life that you might

2:08:51

not really even be able to define

2:08:54

and identify because ,

2:08:57

the most developed authentic and self

2:08:59

actualized that you possibly can be be

2:09:02

the most attractive that you can be

2:09:04

right the more that you can develop those

2:09:07

capacities the more confident you

2:09:09

are the more steady you

2:09:12

are in standing in your own to

2:09:14

feed right tall and

2:09:16

just owning your space and

2:09:18

that's something that you know radiates

2:09:21

when you walk into a room you always know like

2:09:23

all that person knows who they are lining or

2:09:25

something

2:09:26

neely very attractive about that

2:09:29

because we all want to be with somebody who knows

2:09:31

who they are and own to their space yes

2:09:33

hitting oh no they are yeah i mean they

2:09:35

have amnesia not date them well

2:09:38

i mean our gang members giving

2:09:40

him

2:09:42

it's like this a tractor like you put

2:09:44

the it's a force field or a tractor beam that

2:09:46

that ends up attracting the quality of person that

2:09:48

is see to have in your life the i said this before

2:09:50

but it's like you know imagining

2:09:52

yourself as yourself as like you're you're

2:09:55

putting the signal out into the world for those

2:09:58

that you know and those that run it

2:10:00

with it will become attracted to you

2:10:02

on water rises to it's own level so

2:10:05

level up to attract the

2:10:07

like minded person and

2:10:09

and remembering you know this idea

2:10:12

that like partner

2:10:14

doesn't and and will never complete

2:10:16

you like that's not their job

2:10:19

your job is to complete yourself

2:10:21

so it's not looking for that externality

2:10:24

to be the missing piece and who you are

2:10:26

like do that on your own time with

2:10:29

yourself and when you solve

2:10:31

that puzzle then you're ready to

2:10:33

be in the world and attract the person

2:10:35

that you desire into your

2:10:37

life and , a

2:10:39

on the subject of like flexibility

2:10:42

and trying to identify people

2:10:44

who share your values i think it's important

2:10:46

that intimate partners share core

2:10:48

values the former question was kind of all

2:10:50

about that like finding shared

2:10:52

core values but beyond that

2:10:55

i think it's important to not

2:10:57

be to rigorous are demanding when it comes

2:10:59

to how that person embodies or

2:11:02

expresses those values in other

2:11:04

words like let go of

2:11:06

rigorously attempting to match with someone

2:11:08

who allies one hundred percent with everything you're

2:11:11

interested and like if you look at my wife

2:11:13

and i were incredibly different people

2:11:15

we align on values but we

2:11:18

can also be like oil and water

2:11:20

like our marriage is not without friction but

2:11:22

there's something about that alchemy that span

2:11:25

this incredible growth experience

2:11:27

for both of us like heard differences

2:11:30

have pushed me to grow in ways

2:11:32

that i probably wouldn't have

2:11:34

otherwise and hopefully otherwise can say the same

2:11:36

for her and that alchemical

2:11:39

kind of concoctions has

2:11:41

been you know a really beautiful

2:11:43

aspect of our marriage it's it's hard at

2:11:45

times mesa really hard thoughts times

2:11:48

wouldn't trade it for anything and had it

2:11:50

been anything and position of just trying to find the person

2:11:52

who met my criteria they need to be

2:11:54

this person who does these things i

2:11:57

would have missed the

2:11:59

opportunity

2:11:59

the midst

2:12:01

the guest rikers raul constantly

2:12:03

growing evolving all the time so if you're like

2:12:05

my partner is to eat exactly the way that i

2:12:07

do and they need a in or do they did it is

2:12:09

a diet like you're just setting yourself

2:12:12

up for frustration so maybe

2:12:14

expand the aperture a little bit and

2:12:16

also you're dating you're not getting married

2:12:18

my go out and day people like have fun

2:12:21

if it's not i still think it's not

2:12:23

a sith renaissance set by no

2:12:26

loss you had an experience meeting somebody

2:12:28

is not a failure it's just another experience

2:12:31

hundred percent i'd say be

2:12:33

flexible they do not have to mean hundred percent your criteria

2:12:37

have fun feel it out explore

2:12:39

the mr it's like it's like good creative projects

2:12:41

you never know where you in a land and your

2:12:43

life is like that right even people who he

2:12:46

like you're saying know who they are actually does

2:12:48

really to be honest with you nobody knows interact

2:12:51

know who they are or who they're gonna be com and

2:12:53

so you don't even know where you're going to be in ten years

2:12:56

i'm not saying you not going to have certain values

2:12:58

that stick with you and are important to you when

2:13:00

i'm saying is you don't know how that will evolve and

2:13:02

evolve you and so you

2:13:04

know just because you meet someone even if you're as

2:13:06

close hundred percent now that doesn't mean

2:13:08

it's gonna be the case and ten years it's about

2:13:11

if it does the communication overlap

2:13:13

can you go together and allow people to

2:13:15

grow a little bit differently is a hopefully

2:13:17

that will happen and and

2:13:19

that's going to take being at ease

2:13:22

being the mystery and doing creative projects

2:13:24
