you feel more anxious about

anxious about it because they're in ads for
5:46
every time there is a season or every season

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

7:07
like you call we talked last i you he
7:09

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
dume i'm pretty sure yeah i know is cathy
11:31

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

22:34
on and as i mentioned on stated my buddy sauces
22:37
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
26:43
movie from a decade and a half ago
26:45
is getting rereleased in movie theaters when
26:47
barely any movies end up in the movie
26:50
theater anymore it's really cool
26:52
story very cool i'm so not only
26:54
as sasa one of my best friends who opened up
26:56

26:58
i tried to help them celebrate
27:01
the release of this movie m which is coming
27:03
out september twenty
27:05

27:15

27:17
guys from the bad and salsa fantastic

alright guys so you have that to i can't
27:24
wait anyway and lanky saucer for letting
27:26
me stay do they play play a number know
27:29
but there are oddly particularly lips
27:32
you know he's now like an aging renault
27:35
dwelling a heavy metal
27:37
head banging rocker who's
27:39
still wears exactly what he wore when he was twenty
27:41
two years old or some guys like

27:46
the fanny pack and like the whole than the hair
27:48

27:52
and he sort of this is the self
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
27:59
i'm usually find some identities
28:02
will never paris and has rights
28:05
so vast that are a couple quick
28:07
things i was in a porsche commercials i
28:10

28:17
you to without getting into trouble but i show
28:19

28:25
cars they
28:27
didn't sweet innocent remember lots of the
28:29
photographs it's like the it shows up that
28:32
photograph or there are a force that
28:34
photograph was taken by david zammit think
28:36
united ah anyway because
28:38
you are out there with hawking and
28:42
and good company around i don't know
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

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
is , unbelievable mentalist he
49:47
broke robbie ballenger central park record
49:50
and we talked about that before and
49:52
then then ban
49:54
two weeks ago i think he
49:56
did this extraordinary challenge where this
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
hundred and thirty nine square on city streets
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
yes he got a freak
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
51:50
who although he has quite
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
52:05
read his performances are unbelievable
52:08
yes and so the hope with this in
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
do that so robbie and
52:19
risk robinson he used to whatever me about
52:21
me about creator have created this thing
52:23
called the audacious or four which
52:26
is a you tube channel that is making
52:28
really high end documentaries
52:31
are many documentaries about athletes
52:33
and races in the ultra running
52:35
world so they chronicled owes
52:37
his mom talked to manhattan thing and
52:39
i'm sure they're editing together or something amazing
52:42
they shared it you know you should follow audacious report
52:44
on instagram the if you're interested in this stuff because
52:46

52:57

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

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
so did a podcast with that's coming up coming
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

1:10:48
leader standards that is an elite enough
1:10:50

1:10:52
the elite remains i agree on break the
1:10:54

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

it's such a cool accomplishment and yet
1:14:32
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
friend yeah absolutely so much for me

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
was was humble brag
1:50:59

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
prefer
1:54:05

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

2:07:10
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
