This is a perfect venue for you. That's incredible. Wow. And even if they're nice people, it gets in the way. i have great producers i get to self-produce some stuff it's it's wonderful prior to only doing those

Because it's like, who the fuck is that uncomfortable that you're constantly shifting and switching your legs back and forth? Like the short, kind of tight, maybe not actually wears that in real life. Like the short kind of tight,

5:12 the loved ones in. There's so much right down near their vaginas. Like, that's not a because he's of a different persuasion.

You wear like the dumbest little short pink skirt or dress that you're totally uncomfortable in and you're not acting like yourself you look great tonight like in your

12:55 Especially when there's like tension between you and your producer. on the other end. You literally can't form a sentence. If someone's talking in the air and you're talking, I don't hear it. Great. cut to commercial i feel like that's a dinosaur i really don't think that's yeah i mean i don't living in the middle of nowhere yeah absolutely i think that's what's great about everything i mean

15:30 I think part of the problem, though, is that, I mean, you look at the statistics and Fox When they try to figure out who's listening to radio, that shit's ridiculous. up into a certain point like that's why the tonight show has a 20-minute first break, because 15 minutes in is when Yeah. What's the best way to get Megan's thoughts out? heart that this is so popular in America.

18:17 the other hand it's like answers to the kremlin yeah it's so weird well abby martin's a friend of and what what was going on and you know it was very public on television she did this thing There was a science editor in New York. Yeah, they're really good about their social media. Obviously, people still watch it if you want to believe Nielsen ratings, but, like, that show is not good anymore.

21:09 Like, don't make it an hour. people trying to force their their sketches in and other people cock blocking them it was just like Yeah. But you're right. Like, a once-a-month Saturday Night Live special would probably be a fucking nuclear bomb that would drop. it's how they know how to do their jobs because they've been doing it for so long So aren't the same people that are online also watching television shows?

23:56 to put on these spectacular special effects What is that? But Masters and Johnson are a really interesting thing Yeah, and it's Lizzie Kaplan and Michael Sheen. in trouble it is pretty fascinating when you think about it wasn't until the 20th century don't have female researchers because the institutions don't allow them, then you don't Yeah, hysterica.

27:07 She's hospitalized for exhaustion. And it was only women? Rub them? press get away from the husband go be on your own for a bit read a fucking book do you think it's fair to think that as life becomes easier and as like society and civilization is more like goods Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If you've ever studied psychology, you've probably- maybe that would always be the case, so long as women didn't have a voice. I'm not sure. I'm not sure of just moving to the future. And I'm not sure if it's a function of people having more

30:16 stronger, I think that's where a lot of patriarchal wisdom comes from, is that men are physically Why does that go away with cities? It's not so much agriculture as it is all of the things that they have a place in society. And that's, I think, where you really start to see yeah and that's not a real thing like giant women are going to take care of them yeah it's a myth

32:45 Anyone weak. what's the way in every film, in every book, that's like the worst of the worst too that's like not normal it's counterintuitive but the best way We have significantly less of it. It's not this scary thing that every man has to puff his chest up to avoid happening, hit each other one of the things that drives me fucking crazy and I really

36:23 butts like tons of guys. And your nose kind of gives in. and goes limp but it's hilarious because it's like this little woman and this big man and she This watch this girl headbutt this dude with your head over and over And it's one of the reasons why I wanted to bring this up is because my friend, Mark Gordon, Dr. But he also had heart surgery. The whole body is going to react to this.

41:33 solve it, and then put it right back in. And it doesn't have any effect on anything else in their And I, of course, publicly have dealt with depression most of my life. I they also don't think of it in terms of like people look at it in terms of like well you've He had all this money. much people write me letters and say that they love me and whatever, I can't seem to beat this

44:05 And everybody's completely different. Now, it's a molecule. It's got a shape, just like anything out there. is I take this drug, it binds in my brain, It does what it's supposed to do in my brain. It is connected to hormone levels. that they try it. you could analyze that pee and say, you're low on serotonin. You need an SSRI. That would be what on straight up crank, like on crystal. Did you get a lot done? I quit smoking.

48:29 point I've ever been at. So I was like, fuck it can't get any worse. And I did, I quit smoking. mice don't have value judgments. They're not thinking about this from a religious perspective. i mean it's still it's it's the the nicotine is the molecule that's studied in laboratories it's not the tar it's not the Is it dangerous in the form that people take it as far as gum or things along those lines?

50:47 Like, is it really that beneficial? I had a friend who was, and now he's great. WebMD, you know what I mean? So it's only once it is sufficiently and then they end up committing suicide, because they can't it's like, this cascade of awfulness, is it because their depression has a different source, is that there's some sort of biological difference in your brain.

57:44 time. And finding the correct, a really long time. But I'm totally comfortable with a male therapist. That reminds me of what's the Judd Apatow? You would never You know because back in the day you had a male gynecologist right because there were only dude doctors whoa talking to a friend about this uh the other day and he he is a pretty philosophical older guy. And he was, he's been through two

1:00:31 It was a friend gave me a hug. affiliative when you're you know close to somebody else and it it's absolutely necessary. And kind of going back to what we So the same thing as you were saying, MMA can be really helpful for clearing the mind and for lowering your base levels of aggression. You're going to do this. your brain and so you can't pretend again that your cock is somehow completely disconnected

1:03:39 Yes, we have changed in some ways, but that's not long enough for that much evolution. In many ways, biologically, psychologically, evolutionarily speaking, you're right. We are the same organism that was like crawling out of the trees. There are some folks that are just more fucking primitive today or more animalistic or more kinetic. the same stuff we abide by the same rules we have the same sexual proclivities and it works like how

1:05:33 them a person it's just so chaotic like you can't expect to be happy in a relationship because to think about hardcore future kinds of There's all those variables, too too like the sexual variable the emotional variable I'm texting you. friends they're not like where are you why aren't you checking in when are you coming home it's like they don't they go everywhere

He had his life here on the West Coast. would hang out with Sarah Silverman a little bit. But they weren't really my friends. I was the And it took probably until just a couple of years ago so now that's common. It took a long time to get close to these people and to meet them and to finally find,

1:13:22 And a lot of my friends live in Pasadena still, and people who will, I learned this quickly. like hey do you want to come to a barbecue i don't know oh but you know so and so thought that you And I kind of hated it. you're going to start your own podcast, the main ones it was like randy and paula and simon cowell and um so that was the last audition you do before you

1:15:59 stars have where they're like, I'm gonna win this competition because i'm the best i just walked up and i was like are you ready for me to sing i'm so scared like it was i i was meek i didn't have Let's walk this red carpet. And then you're all of a sudden in the room with all these really important people and you don't even know And they'd go, oh, that's kind of interesting.

1:17:36 stressful because you didn't have friends. And because I was unmedicated then. Yeah. I didn't So from the time I remember, I've understood the therapeutic process. about two months and they just have this epiphany of like, why the fuck did I wait so long? I could thing with depression people put the onus on like they they look at it like it's a disease of will

1:20:01 You just deal with it. hours. Like it didn't make any sense. It was like a tired like i was in pain so uh and i get these weird headaches and then once i finally got on medication it was like whoa And it wasn't his fault. As if he knows at all anything about it. And I think that that's something, too, that a lot of people don't understand. I hope so.

1:25:04 remember in the old days, the Wall Street phone. phones oh you see it in in african nations where there aren't there isn't enough malaria medication but i mean there's this huge malaria um push right now to increase uh awareness and you know you can country, the male is socialist, educate public education is socialist. We have a lot of capitalist incredible neurosurgeon but aren't there the best of the best like of course there's the best of the

1:27:41 what drives prices down is that you compete and prices get better and then you've, you know, the best, whatever. But what ends up happening when you have And they work every day, doctors, nurses, other health care officials, to get people things that capitalism don't work on and i think that wellness which is a basic human right is one It's the pharmaceutical company. But it's occasionally the surgeon. Trust me, it's the insurance company. It's the pharmaceutical company.

1:30:18 paper at the insurance company where you're just a number on a piece of paper? up happening is you have a public option you have the option to have a health care system that is They may have had a better education than me. It's happened before. Imagine if that was an urban issue like we it is checkup, they're not going to be then going to the doctor later to get some multi-thousand dollar

1:33:36 they can't afford to. And I remember like the people were talking, Yeah. basically just being fed and watered in asylums were given Haldol, and they could lead functional Exactly. because they're ill. Well, it's a spectrum issue, isn't it? I mean, there's so many variables You're letting somebody else think for you. They say I'm a shill because they look at me and they say, okay, you're a liberal, you're a progressive, you're

1:37:46 fucking same thing that's a company that utilizes gm technology and yes recently i got offered a Should you never take drugs again? genetically modified foods, one of the things that they have to take into consideration is that almost Well, the climate is changing. seeds, for example, or they make a Roundup Ready crop. I want a crop so that I can spray the whole

1:41:26 because of companies that do, where they show they grew all these tumors, But I also want to try and understand where the public is coming from. Why are you afraid of this Let's look at the pros and the cons. And contradicting information. that information like this it's that's why i never promote i have no intention as a science communicator that's being made. Who is making the argument? Do they have any financial reason to be making the argument? Do they have any political reason to be making the argument? Is this article about GMOs being evil on a website called, ohmygodgmosarevil.com? Or is it like a legitimate news site?

1:45:21 The insurance company, too. to sort of break it down, someone who has a background in this particular area to break it down in a way that we can understand. And I think that this is why we, I have Computer Learning Zone on my side. And they know that we're going to say some crazy shit. reason that aren't based in some sort of corporate interest or because some producer is in that

1:48:50 Is that okay? what's with the dinosaur? right there and slap bracelets Oh, wow. That's cool. It's cool. Thank you very much, Cara. Ladies and gentlemen, please check out Haddish. And all that information is on ZipRecruiter.com. We'll see you tomorrow.
