they're so they're so they show up so they're so they're so they show up so often in myth from the from the often in myth from the from the often in myth from the from the religious stories you know of the snake religious stories you know of the snake religious stories you know of the snake and so on The Serpent and I don't know and so on The Serpent and I don't know and so on The Serpent and I don't know what that is with this breathing fire what that is with this breathing fire what that is with this breathing fire that's kind of weird it's interesting that's kind of weird it's interesting that's kind of weird it's interesting when I think about dragons because uh when I think about dragons because uh when I think about dragons because uh now that you bring it up these are now that you bring it up these are now that you bring it up these are people that probably wouldn't have people that probably wouldn't have people that probably wouldn't have access to the fact that there used to be access to the fact that there used to be access to the fact that there used to be dinosaurs right maybe they did if they dinosaurs right maybe they did if they dinosaurs right maybe they did if they didn't they're drawing things that look didn't they're drawing things that look didn't they're drawing things that look like you know a dinosaur cousin but cool like you know a dinosaur cousin but cool like you know a dinosaur cousin but cool that can breathe fire and has Wacky that can breathe fire and has Wacky that can breathe fire and has Wacky Wings and a spiked tail Wings and a spiked tail Wings and a spiked tail um yeah where the heck did they come up um yeah where the heck did they come up um yeah where the heck did they come up with that because they're clearly of with that because they're clearly of with that because they're clearly of course represented in mythology all the course represented in mythology all the course represented in mythology all the way back to uh way back to uh way back to uh no not cave drawings well the Egyptians no not cave drawings well the Egyptians no not cave drawings well the Egyptians probably knew what the and they could probably knew what the and they could probably knew what the and they could time travel so they would have gone back time travel so they would have gone back time travel so they would have gone back to the caves with the aliens that placed to the caves with the aliens that placed to the caves with the aliens that placed living organisms on Earth living organisms on Earth living organisms on Earth could time travel and they could plant could time travel and they could plant could time travel and they could plant Legends into the into the collective Legends into the into the collective Legends into the into the collective intelligence of the human species yeah intelligence of the human species yeah intelligence of the human species yeah and perhaps they were thinking of us to and perhaps they were thinking of us to and perhaps they were thinking of us to do something smart with it and we didn't do something smart with it and we didn't do something smart with it and we didn't we just came up with Skyrim now we're we just came up with Skyrim now we're we just came up with Skyrim now we're just what's that sorry that was very just what's that sorry that was very just what's that sorry that was very offensive I'm sorry I don't mean offend offensive I'm sorry I don't mean offend offensive I'm sorry I don't mean offend you with your video game I'm more of a you with your video game I'm more of a you with your video game I'm more of a burger a burger time uh Donkey Kong dude burger a burger time uh Donkey Kong dude burger a burger time uh Donkey Kong dude oh what is that that's an original oh what is that that's an original oh what is that that's an original burger time was an arcade game that burger time was an arcade game that burger time was an arcade game that later showed up on the in television later showed up on the in television later showed up on the in television um uh who's in television I believe it um uh who's in television I believe it um uh who's in television I believe it was made by Texas Instruments horrible was made by Texas Instruments horrible was made by Texas Instruments horrible first generation uh video game console first generation uh video game console first generation uh video game console and burger time you just it's like Super and burger time you just it's like Super and burger time you just it's like Super Mario you just gotta stay away from the Mario you just gotta stay away from the Mario you just gotta stay away from the the eggs and the pickles and stuff and

AI and how it's changing art AI and how it's changing art um but uh the in stand up all you need um but uh the in stand up all you need um but uh the in stand up all you need is a is a microphone and you know is a is a microphone and you know is a is a microphone and you know perhaps uh it'd be good to have some perhaps uh it'd be good to have some perhaps uh it'd be good to have some mental illness and then you can just run mental illness and then you can just run mental illness and then you can just run up there and uh uh talk forever and I up there and uh uh talk forever and I up there and uh uh talk forever and I say this to to you know comedians it's say this to to you know comedians it's say this to to you know comedians it's like you guys have to deal with Justin like you guys have to deal with Justin like you guys have to deal with Justin influx of influx of influx of people who aren't sure why they're doing people who aren't sure why they're doing people who aren't sure why they're doing comedy I would ask community in Zoom comedy I would ask community in Zoom comedy I would ask community in Zoom like I mean not good ones and good ones like I mean not good ones and good ones like I mean not good ones and good ones you know what they're doing but everyone you know what they're doing but everyone you know what they're doing but everyone else like what are you doing why why are else like what are you doing why why are else like what are you doing why why are you doing stand-up having said that I am you doing stand-up having said that I am you doing stand-up having said that I am allergic to money yeah do you think they allergic to money yeah do you think they allergic to money yeah do you think they have a good answer for that why are they have a good answer for that why are they have a good answer for that why are they doing it because I actually like when doing it because I actually like when doing it because I actually like when I'm in Austin I like going to open mics I'm in Austin I like going to open mics I'm in Austin I like going to open mics just listening it's inspiring to me just listening it's inspiring to me just listening it's inspiring to me both the funny and the unfunny people both the funny and the unfunny people both the funny and the unfunny people because they've been doing it for because they've been doing it for because they've been doing it for several years several years several years sometimes over a decade yeah and they're sometimes over a decade yeah and they're sometimes over a decade yeah and they're still at it they're still right there still at it they're still right there still at it they're still right there there's going for the punch and then there's going for the punch and then there's going for the punch and then especially open mics that are really sad especially open mics that are really sad especially open mics that are really sad in that there is you know only like five in that there is you know only like five in that there is you know only like five other people in the audience and they're other people in the audience and they're other people in the audience and they're usually just other Comedians and they're usually just other Comedians and they're usually just other Comedians and they're still going all out as if they're in still going all out as if they're in still going all out as if they're in front of a stadium but that to me sounds front of a stadium but that to me sounds front of a stadium but that to me sounds like someone who loves it yeah I got no like someone who loves it yeah I got no like someone who loves it yeah I got no questions for that person I got questions for that person I got questions for that person I got questions for someone who goes sideways questions for someone who goes sideways questions for someone who goes sideways from here I'm recognizable doing from here I'm recognizable doing from here I'm recognizable doing something and then I'm doing stand-up something and then I'm doing stand-up something and then I'm doing stand-up because it's like and truly look I you because it's like and truly look I you because it's like and truly look I you know I've been I've been fortunate know I've been I've been fortunate know I've been I've been fortunate enough to be in the business for a long enough to be in the business for a long enough to be in the business for a long time and at this point if I came up I time and at this point if I came up I time and at this point if I came up I mean doing live stuff is fun I have mean doing live stuff is fun I have mean doing live stuff is fun I have friends that are like um you know some

friends that are like um you know some friends that are like um you know some guys who are primarily sketch people or guys who are primarily sketch people or guys who are primarily sketch people or you would look at them as sketch people you would look at them as sketch people you would look at them as sketch people and they can sell tickets for being and they can sell tickets for being and they can sell tickets for being sketch people and they and we'll talk sketch people and they and we'll talk sketch people and they and we'll talk about it and they're like well you know about it and they're like well you know about it and they're like well you know I do a monologue I do a little stand-up I do a monologue I do a little stand-up I do a monologue I do a little stand-up then I do a song then I do another then I do a song then I do another then I do a song then I do another monologue then I play off the audience monologue then I play off the audience monologue then I play off the audience do a little stand up do a little stand up do a little stand up um but stand up is it's almost like um but stand up is it's almost like um but stand up is it's almost like playing music in that playing music in that playing music in that you know people are going up there you know people are going up there you know people are going up there playing music but what band have you playing music but what band have you playing music but what band have you been listening to that's what you're been listening to that's what you're been listening to that's what you're going to sound like going to sound like going to sound like so it's really I mean of course I'm so it's really I mean of course I'm so it's really I mean of course I'm speaking from zero experience but I've speaking from zero experience but I've speaking from zero experience but I've heard it takes years of course to find heard it takes years of course to find heard it takes years of course to find your own voice stand-ups that when they your own voice stand-ups that when they your own voice stand-ups that when they first go up they're they're doing a some first go up they're they're doing a some first go up they're they're doing a some sort of impersonation of so and so right sort of impersonation of so and so right sort of impersonation of so and so right and so and so you've got to pop this and so and so you've got to pop this and so and so you've got to pop this audience that that's paying and you're audience that that's paying and you're audience that that's paying and you're going to get run over by the next person going to get run over by the next person going to get run over by the next person who's coming up and uh it's hard to who's coming up and uh it's hard to who's coming up and uh it's hard to follow the last person who went up follow the last person who went up follow the last person who went up before you and I said I mean that is a before you and I said I mean that is a before you and I said I mean that is a really hard way to it's a very really hard way to it's a very really hard way to it's a very quite a gauntlet to be in to find your quite a gauntlet to be in to find your quite a gauntlet to be in to find your voice comedically but don't you have voice comedically but don't you have voice comedically but don't you have that same kind of thing with Sketch you that same kind of thing with Sketch you that same kind of thing with Sketch you still have to find your own voice with still have to find your own voice with still have to find your own voice with uh like all the Impressions you do uh like all the Impressions you do uh like all the Impressions you do they're just terrible you know they're they're just terrible you know they're they're just terrible you know they're they're different spins and different they're different spins and different they're different spins and different people they're not like perfect people they're not like perfect people they're not like perfect Impressions right yeah so that's I mean Impressions right yeah so that's I mean Impressions right yeah so that's I mean that's a similar kind of Challenge and that's a similar kind of Challenge and that's a similar kind of Challenge and journey yeah as stand up you're just journey yeah as stand up you're just journey yeah as stand up you're just saying they're kind of distinct and you saying they're kind of distinct and you saying they're kind of distinct and you fell into this one you fell in love with fell into this one you fell in love with fell into this one you fell in love with it which is like what Mad TV kind of it which is like what Mad TV kind of it which is like what Mad TV kind of opened you up to yeah as a kid I opened you up to yeah as a kid I opened you up to yeah as a kid I literally wanted to be an actor I always

waitress that was the sweetest kindest waitress that was the sweetest kindest human being kept calling me sweetheart human being kept calling me sweetheart human being kept calling me sweetheart and all that kind of stuff hun and all that kind of stuff hun and all that kind of stuff hun and then after I ate she sat down and and then after I ate she sat down and and then after I ate she sat down and just talked to me a little bit you know just talked to me a little bit you know just talked to me a little bit you know it's because there's nobody nobody there it's because there's nobody nobody there it's because there's nobody nobody there and it was just there's so much sadness and it was just there's so much sadness and it was just there's so much sadness in her eyes I don't know but it's also in her eyes I don't know but it's also in her eyes I don't know but it's also so much love like that sweetheart so much love like that sweetheart so much love like that sweetheart that I mean it reminded me kind of um that I mean it reminded me kind of um that I mean it reminded me kind of um of the John Candy performance because at of the John Candy performance because at of the John Candy performance because at first because I was like uh reading a first because I was like uh reading a first because I was like uh reading a pretty dark uh pretty dark uh pretty dark uh uh book about Hitler uh so I was a uh book about Hitler uh so I was a uh book about Hitler uh so I was a little bit frustrated that she kept little bit frustrated that she kept little bit frustrated that she kept talking to me because it was like uh it talking to me because it was like uh it talking to me because it was like uh it was it was almost like uh the same way was it was almost like uh the same way was it was almost like uh the same way that John Candy is it's annoying a that John Candy is it's annoying a that John Candy is it's annoying a little bit right but then very quickly I little bit right but then very quickly I little bit right but then very quickly I opened up to like oh this is opened up to like oh this is opened up to like oh this is there's a kind human being and there's there's a kind human being and there's there's a kind human being and there's like that human connection superseded like that human connection superseded like that human connection superseded everything else and I don't know it was everything else and I don't know it was everything else and I don't know it was just beautiful and I think John Candy just beautiful and I think John Candy just beautiful and I think John Candy captures that captures that captures that really well which is like the connection really well which is like the connection really well which is like the connection with other human beings sometimes with other human beings sometimes with other human beings sometimes we pull away from that because we were we pull away from that because we were we pull away from that because we were have a busy life full of stuff to do uh have a busy life full of stuff to do uh have a busy life full of stuff to do uh as as as um Steve Martin's character and um Steve Martin's character and um Steve Martin's character and characterize he's like a marketing exec characterize he's like a marketing exec characterize he's like a marketing exec or something like that but if you just or something like that but if you just or something like that but if you just pause and notice others you can you can pause and notice others you can you can pause and notice others you can you can really discover Beautiful People totally really discover Beautiful People totally really discover Beautiful People totally totally everyone's got well I mean totally everyone's got well I mean totally everyone's got well I mean everyone's got their their story and you everyone's got their their story and you everyone's got their their story and you know know know candy as a person I've never met the man candy as a person I've never met the man candy as a person I've never met the man uh but

you feel almost like liberated to you feel almost like liberated to um because you're operating within the um because you're operating within the um because you're operating within the constraints of the premise that constraints of the premise that constraints of the premise that generates so you're almost not generates so you're almost not generates so you're almost not you're you're you're you're free to riff you're you're you're you're free to riff you're you're you're you're free to riff essentially yeah like you don't have to essentially yeah like you don't have to essentially yeah like you don't have to you don't need to do the job of like you don't need to do the job of like you don't need to do the job of like coming up with the weird you can just coming up with the weird you can just coming up with the weird you can just the weird is given to you and then you the weird is given to you and then you the weird is given to you and then you just run with it that's a good way to just run with it that's a good way to just run with it that's a good way to say it because we're already weird Chad say it because we're already weird Chad say it because we're already weird Chad and I Chad Chad can talk for days about and I Chad Chad can talk for days about and I Chad Chad can talk for days about all sorts of stuff he's particularly all sorts of stuff he's particularly all sorts of stuff he's particularly interested in AI lately and its effect interested in AI lately and its effect interested in AI lately and its effect on Art he is a a writer books movies and on Art he is a a writer books movies and on Art he is a a writer books movies and TV shows and um I'm primarily you know TV shows and um I'm primarily you know TV shows and um I'm primarily you know acting and trying to come up with stuff acting and trying to come up with stuff acting and trying to come up with stuff stuff I write with Chad's pretty good stuff I write with Chad's pretty good stuff I write with Chad's pretty good the rest of it hasn't seen much success the rest of it hasn't seen much success the rest of it hasn't seen much success anyway uh Nora is the stuff with Chad anyway uh Nora is the stuff with Chad anyway uh Nora is the stuff with Chad for that matter but um that's because of for that matter but um that's because of for that matter but um that's because of me sneakers you never know okay oh I me sneakers you never know okay oh I me sneakers you never know okay oh I can't wait for these things only in two can't wait for these things only in two can't wait for these things only in two sizes yeah only in two sides you're sizes yeah only in two sides you're sizes yeah only in two sides you're gonna be able to take the the you know gonna be able to take the the you know gonna be able to take the the you know the tongue you can't take it out because the tongue you can't take it out because the tongue you can't take it out because it's actually stitched in yeah it's it's actually stitched in yeah it's it's actually stitched in yeah it's pretty cool stuff pretty cool stuff pretty cool stuff um um um velcro or uh yeah velcro velcro up the velcro or uh yeah velcro velcro up the velcro or uh yeah velcro velcro up the side we're doing some like brand new side we're doing some like brand new side we're doing some like brand new Kanye stuff yeah we want things to look Kanye stuff yeah we want things to look Kanye stuff yeah we want things to look like this is what you'll be wearing on like this is what you'll be wearing on like this is what you'll be wearing on Mars when you get there so cutting it so Mars when you get there so cutting it so Mars when you get there so cutting it so Nike's doing a bunch of research for Nike's doing a bunch of research for Nike's doing a bunch of research for running how to make a super light shoe running how to make a super light shoe running how to make a super light shoe that you can be efficient in and break that you can be efficient in and break that you can be efficient in and break all kinds of Running Records so you're all kinds of Running Records so you're all kinds of Running Records so you're doing the same kind of stuff we're doing doing the same kind of stuff we're doing doing the same kind of stuff we're doing the same kind of thing for the the same kind of thing for the the same kind of thing for the podcasting space the best kind of shoes podcasting space the best kind of shoes podcasting space the best kind of shoes to sit around and talk to your pal in to sit around and talk to your pal in to sit around and talk to your pal in um but yeah we so this yeah it's bizarre um but yeah we so this yeah it's bizarre um but yeah we so this yeah it's bizarre and it also does some writing Duty does

and it also does some writing Duty does and it also does some writing Duty does come up with things but not unlike what come up with things but not unlike what come up with things but not unlike what we're seeing in AI art now it's a little we're seeing in AI art now it's a little we're seeing in AI art now it's a little bit foggy it's a little bit weird and it bit foggy it's a little bit weird and it bit foggy it's a little bit weird and it but it is improving it is learning about but it is improving it is learning about but it is improving it is learning about us and writing stuff when it makes me us and writing stuff when it makes me us and writing stuff when it makes me spit this and that which will read you spit this and that which will read you spit this and that which will read you know well you know I've prepared these know well you know I've prepared these know well you know I've prepared these things for you to read it's impossible things for you to read it's impossible things for you to read it's impossible not to get a kick out of it because Chad not to get a kick out of it because Chad not to get a kick out of it because Chad and I are first of all we're blown away and I are first of all we're blown away and I are first of all we're blown away that we're doing this yeah and second of that we're doing this yeah and second of that we're doing this yeah and second of all the some of the stuff is actually all the some of the stuff is actually all the some of the stuff is actually very funny it makes weird names like I very funny it makes weird names like I very funny it makes weird names like I don't think it understands don't think it understands don't think it understands it messes up some words and stuff but it messes up some words and stuff but it messes up some words and stuff but that makes it even funnier and then it that makes it even funnier and then it that makes it even funnier and then it it sort of it sort of it sort of from the beginning started laying on from the beginning started laying on from the beginning started laying on like it says astonishing all the time like it says astonishing all the time like it says astonishing all the time everything is astonishing everything is astonishing everything is astonishing um that's dudese's favorite word um that's dudese's favorite word um that's dudese's favorite word um but yeah it's basically just a way to um but yeah it's basically just a way to um but yeah it's basically just a way to to frame the podcast you know what I to frame the podcast you know what I to frame the podcast you know what I mean because my thing is uh I don't want mean because my thing is uh I don't want mean because my thing is uh I don't want to do this or I actually have to talk to to do this or I actually have to talk to to do this or I actually have to talk to someone you seem to feel a burden of the someone you seem to feel a burden of the someone you seem to feel a burden of the long form conversation it seems like is long form conversation it seems like is long form conversation it seems like is that really hard work for you no not at that really hard work for you no not at that really hard work for you no not at all it's just that I don't like the bore all it's just that I don't like the bore all it's just that I don't like the bore people and I feel like if I go on and I people and I feel like if I go on and I people and I feel like if I go on and I like to provide value for who for what I like to provide value for who for what I like to provide value for who for what I am am am you know your value with regard to this you know your value with regard to this you know your value with regard to this project is is obviously warranty it's project is is obviously warranty it's project is is obviously warranty it's obviously I'm waiting for the obviously I'm waiting for the obviously I'm waiting for the explanation for what the value is explanation for what the value is explanation for what the value is exactly two dudes in a suit no listen

exactly two dudes in a suit no listen exactly two dudes in a suit no listen yeah two dudes in a suit no I mean yeah two dudes in a suit no I mean yeah two dudes in a suit no I mean you've got your audience and that's the you've got your audience and that's the you've got your audience and that's the end of that people find Value in it for end of that people find Value in it for end of that people find Value in it for me I I do feel like I'm uh me I I do feel like I'm uh me I I do feel like I'm uh it is important that I it is important that I it is important that I if I'm going to do something that you if I'm going to do something that you if I'm going to do something that you know is going to be funny or that I hope know is going to be funny or that I hope know is going to be funny or that I hope is funny is funny is funny I just kind of want to get in and out of I just kind of want to get in and out of I just kind of want to get in and out of someone's day and just kind of I like someone's day and just kind of I like someone's day and just kind of I like making I like making laughy I want making I like making laughy I want making I like making laughy I want people to you know whatever it's the people to you know whatever it's the people to you know whatever it's the same thing that anyone else will tell same thing that anyone else will tell same thing that anyone else will tell you yeah but in the long form you feel you yeah but in the long form you feel you yeah but in the long form you feel the anxiety you did a few funny things the anxiety you did a few funny things the anxiety you did a few funny things and I wonder if I can keep doing the and I wonder if I can keep doing the and I wonder if I can keep doing the funny thing is that why you you're you funny thing is that why you you're you funny thing is that why you you're you feel that like why is doozy relieving feel that like why is doozy relieving feel that like why is doozy relieving you of some of the anxiety you of some of the anxiety you of some of the anxiety well in some ways gives me anxiety well in some ways gives me anxiety well in some ways gives me anxiety because I don't know what's coming and because I don't know what's coming and because I don't know what's coming and that's weird for me because I like to that's weird for me because I like to that's weird for me because I like to prepare prepare prepare uh for things but it's that's not what uh for things but it's that's not what uh for things but it's that's not what podcasting is podcasting you need to podcasting is podcasting you need to podcasting is podcasting you need to just be malleable and say whatever and just be malleable and say whatever and just be malleable and say whatever and do whatever do whatever do whatever um and uh that's what makes it a real I um and uh that's what makes it a real I um and uh that's what makes it a real I mean it's look it's a medium for mean it's look it's a medium for mean it's look it's a medium for conversation and if you're driving along conversation and if you're driving along conversation and if you're driving along listening to this or anything else listening to this or anything else listening to this or anything else you're you know it is that it's the it's you're you know it is that it's the it's you're you know it is that it's the it's the true meaning of the parasocial the true meaning of the parasocial the true meaning of the parasocial relationship because the best podcasts relationship because the best podcasts relationship because the best podcasts just make you feel like you're sitting just make you feel like you're sitting just make you feel like you're sitting around rapping we're just having a around rapping we're just having a around rapping we're just having a conversation you could even be sitting conversation you could even be sitting conversation you could even be sitting there agreeing or talking out loud to there agreeing or talking out loud to there agreeing or talking out loud to yourself if you want to be sitting in yourself if you want to be sitting in yourself if you want to be sitting in silence or you could just be sitting in

that isn't hasn't been very wide and not that isn't hasn't been very wide and not a lot of people have seen it that's the a lot of people have seen it that's the a lot of people have seen it that's the stuff that I get really excited about stuff that I get really excited about stuff that I get really excited about um um um I don't know why I'm I don't know why I I don't know why I'm I don't know why I I don't know why I'm I don't know why I don't know why necessarily I haven't don't know why necessarily I haven't don't know why necessarily I haven't answered that question yet in my life answered that question yet in my life answered that question yet in my life like what it is about being an actor like what it is about being an actor like what it is about being an actor that I love so much because it's not that I love so much because it's not that I love so much because it's not like I don't like to it's not like I'm like I don't like to it's not like I'm like I don't like to it's not like I'm trying to get away from myself and play trying to get away from myself and play trying to get away from myself and play other characters and stuff and not be other characters and stuff and not be other characters and stuff and not be myself myself myself um but it is it has always been fun to um but it is it has always been fun to um but it is it has always been fun to to just be other people and Escape yeah to just be other people and Escape yeah to just be other people and Escape yeah is there some aspects to The Impressions is there some aspects to The Impressions is there some aspects to The Impressions where where where you become that person is that like what you become that person is that like what you become that person is that like what what's that like to uh I suppose acting what's that like to uh I suppose acting what's that like to uh I suppose acting is a full-on version that you really is a full-on version that you really is a full-on version that you really at his best become the character is at his best become the character is at his best become the character is there some fun in that yeah absolutely there some fun in that yeah absolutely there some fun in that yeah absolutely if you can play a character for long if you can play a character for long if you can play a character for long enough enough enough um um um and then jump out of it uh and then jump out of it uh and then jump out of it uh that's a lot of fun like I did this that's a lot of fun like I did this that's a lot of fun like I did this movie like four or five years ago called movie like four or five years ago called movie like four or five years ago called the inside game about the NBA gambling the inside game about the NBA gambling the inside game about the NBA gambling scandal that there there's a Netflix scandal that there there's a Netflix scandal that there there's a Netflix documentary around about it right now documentary around about it right now documentary around about it right now and that character I played uh and that character I played uh and that character I played uh Jimmy Batista Baba the Sheep who's Jimmy Batista Baba the Sheep who's Jimmy Batista Baba the Sheep who's you know this guy was this bookie and ra you know this guy was this bookie and ra you know this guy was this bookie and ra ra Ron it's a very he's a there's a lot ra Ron it's a very he's a there's a lot ra Ron it's a very he's a there's a lot going on with him he's he's you know going on with him he's he's you know going on with him he's he's you know he's running numbers with the mob and he's running numbers with the mob and he's running numbers with the mob and stuff and there's a lot of money stuff and there's a lot of money stuff and there's a lot of money changing hands that character was so I

changing hands that character was so I changing hands that character was so I got to be get so deep into that got to be get so deep into that got to be get so deep into that character that coming out of it was was character that coming out of it was was character that coming out of it was was a little odd or as weird as this sounds a little odd or as weird as this sounds a little odd or as weird as this sounds The Three Stooges was hard for me to I The Three Stooges was hard for me to I The Three Stooges was hard for me to I found that I had found that I had found that I had uh some of Curly's mannerisms just uh some of Curly's mannerisms just uh some of Curly's mannerisms just automatically I could not stop them when automatically I could not stop them when automatically I could not stop them when people when when I would talk to people people when when I would talk to people people when when I would talk to people they would they would come I wasn't I'm they would they would come I wasn't I'm they would they would come I wasn't I'm not doing it on purpose I don't want to not doing it on purpose I don't want to not doing it on purpose I don't want to do that like I'm ready to shed it do that like I'm ready to shed it do that like I'm ready to shed it because I've been working on it for because I've been working on it for because I've been working on it for months and months at that point as far months and months at that point as far months and months at that point as far as getting the thing down and then you as getting the thing down and then you as getting the thing down and then you then you gotta shoot and then uh for me then you gotta shoot and then uh for me then you gotta shoot and then uh for me it's always I always want to change the it's always I always want to change the it's always I always want to change the stuff I did the day before I'm like that stuff I did the day before I'm like that stuff I did the day before I'm like that where I'm like I could have done it where I'm like I could have done it where I'm like I could have done it better and this and that and uh that better and this and that and uh that better and this and that and uh that stayed with you that character stayed stayed with you that character stayed stayed with you that character stayed with you a little totally yeah I just with you a little totally yeah I just with you a little totally yeah I just feel like with actors feel like with actors feel like with actors sometimes when you listen to interviews sometimes when you listen to interviews sometimes when you listen to interviews they've spent so much time they've spent so much time they've spent so much time sort of living inside other characters sort of living inside other characters sort of living inside other characters that they they almost don't have a depth that they they almost don't have a depth that they they almost don't have a depth of Personality themselves like a depth of Personality themselves like a depth of Personality themselves like a depth like I don't mean that as a negative like I don't mean that as a negative like I don't mean that as a negative thing it's just like it feels like the thing it's just like it feels like the thing it's just like it feels like the art form at its best is pretending to be art form at its best is pretending to be art form at its best is pretending to be other people uh like and even pretending other people uh like and even pretending other people uh like and even pretending sounds negative but like I'm pretending sounds negative but like I'm pretending sounds negative but like I'm pretending bringing certain characters to life yeah bringing certain characters to life yeah bringing certain characters to life yeah yeah embodying yeah embodying yeah embodying a weird thing happened while we were a weird thing happened while we were a weird thing happened while we were doing Stooges because you've got a very doing Stooges because you've got a very doing Stooges because you've got a very heavy blueprint we're following this heavy blueprint we're following this heavy blueprint we're following this very clear blueprint that the Stooges very clear blueprint that the Stooges very clear blueprint that the Stooges left for everybody and it for stooge left for everybody and it for stooge left for everybody and it for stooge fans and people enjoying the movie it's fans and people enjoying the movie it's fans and people enjoying the movie it's got to be this you take your toolbox

made up at the top Bobby Lee told me made up at the top Bobby Lee told me that story so we can't yeah we can't that story so we can't yeah we can't that story so we can't yeah we can't trust that trust that trust that um what about him Impressions is there um what about him Impressions is there um what about him Impressions is there similarity between that and acting do similarity between that and acting do similarity between that and acting do you you you is there some fundamental way in which is there some fundamental way in which is there some fundamental way in which you become the person if you have a you become the person if you have a you become the person if you have a couple of the things you can just fill couple of the things you can just fill couple of the things you can just fill in the blanks and I think the illusion in the blanks and I think the illusion in the blanks and I think the illusion is that people think that that person is that people think that that person is that people think that that person would say that and do that and that's would say that and do that and that's would say that and do that and that's where the illusion of oh he really where the illusion of oh he really where the illusion of oh he really embodies the character it's like once embodies the character it's like once embodies the character it's like once you know someone's mannerisms you can you know someone's mannerisms you can you know someone's mannerisms you can essentially portray a person from the essentially portray a person from the essentially portray a person from the outside in yeah because you have all the outside in yeah because you have all the outside in yeah because you have all the stuff on the outside and you can do it stuff on the outside and you can do it stuff on the outside and you can do it and complete the illusion and if it's and complete the illusion and if it's and complete the illusion and if it's for humor's sake you can caricature it for humor's sake you can caricature it for humor's sake you can caricature it therefore making the whole illusion therefore making the whole illusion therefore making the whole illusion stronger and also weirder like I like to stronger and also weirder like I like to stronger and also weirder like I like to on Mad TV if I did something two or on Mad TV if I did something two or on Mad TV if I did something two or three times I get bored of it and I'd three times I get bored of it and I'd three times I get bored of it and I'd start changing it and you know now he start changing it and you know now he start changing it and you know now he talks like this and it's like what are talks like this and it's like what are talks like this and it's like what are you doing I'm like I don't know it's you doing I'm like I don't know it's you doing I'm like I don't know it's fucking no one's late at night do fucking no one's late at night do fucking no one's late at night do whatever you want but people still kind whatever you want but people still kind whatever you want but people still kind of know of know of know what this that character is especially what this that character is especially what this that character is especially if you just call it out yeah there if you just call it out yeah there if you just call it out yeah there aren't many impersonations that I listen aren't many impersonations that I listen aren't many impersonations that I listen to myself do and go oh that's a good one to myself do and go oh that's a good one to myself do and go oh that's a good one you know like a lot of people like like you know like a lot of people like like you know like a lot of people like like I think Frank Caliendo is like the I think Frank Caliendo is like the I think Frank Caliendo is like the greatest impersonator of all time he's greatest impersonator of all time he's greatest impersonator of all time he's the best serious it's ridiculous and the best serious it's ridiculous and the best serious it's ridiculous and he's got a record button and a broadcast he's got a record button and a broadcast he's got a record button and a broadcast ability that nobody has I I really TR

ability that nobody has I I really TR ability that nobody has I I really TR there's he's cracked impersonations that there's he's cracked impersonations that there's he's cracked impersonations that I'm like how is he how does he find he's I'm like how is he how does he find he's I'm like how is he how does he find he's got such an ear but then he's got all got such an ear but then he's got all got such an ear but then he's got all the other tools uh the other tools uh the other tools uh I remember actually I remember actually I remember actually my last season of Mad TV was also his my last season of Mad TV was also his my last season of Mad TV was also his first season he comes up to me when I first season he comes up to me when I first season he comes up to me when I met him and we're just up there in the met him and we're just up there in the met him and we're just up there in the writer's offices and he goes hey nice to writer's offices and he goes hey nice to writer's offices and he goes hey nice to meet you and he goes Louie Anderson meet you and he goes Louie Anderson meet you and he goes Louie Anderson because I was doing a Louie on the show because I was doing a Louie on the show because I was doing a Louie on the show and he goes Louie Anderson I go yeah he and he goes Louie Anderson I go yeah he and he goes Louie Anderson I go yeah he goes hey you're doing it wrong I was goes hey you're doing it wrong I was goes hey you're doing it wrong I was like oh am I Junior you know and he goes like oh am I Junior you know and he goes like oh am I Junior you know and he goes he goes yeah you know because you do he goes yeah you know because you do he goes yeah you know because you do this but you gotta throw it up here or this but you gotta throw it up here or this but you gotta throw it up here or sometimes I was like oh my God can I use sometimes I was like oh my God can I use sometimes I was like oh my God can I use that of course and then we became you that of course and then we became you that of course and then we became you know became Fast Friends John Madden is know became Fast Friends John Madden is know became Fast Friends John Madden is amazing it's just it's ridiculous amazing it's just it's ridiculous amazing it's just it's ridiculous he really really embodies the person and he really really embodies the person and he really really embodies the person and sometimes not even with a caricature sometimes not even with a caricature sometimes not even with a caricature it's like it becomes the person so it's like it becomes the person so it's like it becomes the person so strange totally yeah I strange totally yeah I strange totally yeah I I kind of feel like I kind of feel like I kind of feel like you know do the impersonation and then you know do the impersonation and then you know do the impersonation and then for not forget you're doing it but for not forget you're doing it but for not forget you're doing it but forget everything else like just forget everything else like just forget everything else like just just goof around of course to me it's just goof around of course to me it's just goof around of course to me it's funny when some when you sound like funny when some when you sound like funny when some when you sound like someone and you're saying the shit that someone and you're saying the shit that someone and you're saying the shit that they would never say yeah well then they would never say yeah well then they would never say yeah well then there's no you're you're letting go of there's no you're you're letting go of there's no you're you're letting go of that part that tool in illusion that that part that tool in illusion that that part that tool in illusion that keeps people in but to me it doesn't keeps people in but to me it doesn't keeps people in but to me it doesn't matter because it's funnier so what was matter because it's funnier so what was matter because it's funnier so what was the hardest impression for you to work the hardest impression for you to work the hardest impression for you to work on I mean it's just somebody you on I mean it's just somebody you on I mean it's just somebody you struggled with I was I I'll never forget struggled with I was I I'll never forget struggled with I was I I'll never forget I had to do a Michael Caine in my first I had to do a Michael Caine in my first I had to do a Michael Caine in my first season at Mad TV it never got good it

season at Mad TV it never got good it season at Mad TV it never got good it never got good it did it all week it never got good it did it all week it never got good it did it all week it wasn't good we shot it the first take it wasn't good we shot it the first take it wasn't good we shot it the first take it was shit second third and fourth it was was shit second third and fourth it was was shit second third and fourth it was all shit well his voice is really all shit well his voice is really all shit well his voice is really important right his yeah uh what is it important right his yeah uh what is it important right his yeah uh what is it like it's like doing an impression of like it's like doing an impression of like it's like doing an impression of Morgan Freeman or somebody like that Morgan Freeman or somebody like that Morgan Freeman or somebody like that yeah uh yeah you can get divorce yeah yeah uh yeah you can get divorce yeah yeah uh yeah you can get divorce yeah that's my Morgan here's my Morgan that's my Morgan here's my Morgan that's my Morgan here's my Morgan Freeman Andy Dufresne yeah Freeman Andy Dufresne yeah Freeman Andy Dufresne yeah um um um montanejo yeah I like your Trump too but montanejo yeah I like your Trump too but montanejo yeah I like your Trump too but I don't know where I heard it but it's I don't know where I heard it but it's I don't know where I heard it but it's it like I love The Impressions you do it like I love The Impressions you do it like I love The Impressions you do that don't sound anything like the that don't sound anything like the that don't sound anything like the original I can't do Trump I I do that's original I can't do Trump I I do that's original I can't do Trump I I do that's why it's hilarious absolutely uh my why it's hilarious absolutely uh my why it's hilarious absolutely uh my trump now I say just sounds like a like trump now I say just sounds like a like trump now I say just sounds like a like a fat B because it's just uh yeah a fat B because it's just uh yeah a fat B because it's just uh yeah exactly and everybody exactly and everybody exactly and everybody a little drunk a little drunk yeah just a little drunk a little drunk yeah just a little drunk a little drunk yeah just a little slurry yeah yeah I did do an a little slurry yeah yeah I did do an a little slurry yeah yeah I did do an impersonations and then impersonations and then impersonations and then not like just making it whoever yeah not like just making it whoever yeah not like just making it whoever yeah yeah yeah yeah that'll be the title of my book that'll be the title of my book that'll be the title of my book uh some I came was the one you really uh some I came was the one you really uh some I came was the one you really struggle with struggle with struggle with yeah it was terrible it was terrible and yeah it was terrible it was terrible and yeah it was terrible it was terrible and I could only hold my head a certain way I could only hold my head a certain way I could only hold my head a certain way to do it uh because I had gotten locked to do it uh because I had gotten locked to do it uh because I had gotten locked into this research tape that I watched into this research tape that I watched into this research tape that I watched back then they would give us you know back then they would give us you know back then they would give us you know now there's the internet but back then now there's the internet but back then now there's the internet but back then you were if you were going to do an you were if you were going to do an you were if you were going to do an impersonation the research Department impersonation the research Department impersonation the research Department uh would give you a VHS tape and I uh would give you a VHS tape and I uh would give you a VHS tape and I remember I got this VHS tape of Michael remember I got this VHS tape of Michael remember I got this VHS tape of Michael Caine's acting school like this acting

Caine's acting school like this acting Caine's acting school like this acting class he did he's like right you know if class he did he's like right you know if class he did he's like right you know if you're looking at the left eye and the you're looking at the left eye and the you're looking at the left eye and the camera's over here see then the left eye camera's over here see then the left eye camera's over here see then the left eye so you want to look at that left for so you want to look at that left for so you want to look at that left for hours you know and so I was like stuck hours you know and so I was like stuck hours you know and so I was like stuck in this weird thing that made no sense in this weird thing that made no sense in this weird thing that made no sense and uh it was terrible so the the actual and uh it was terrible so the the actual and uh it was terrible so the the actual processes the record in the broadcast I processes the record in the broadcast I processes the record in the broadcast I also wonder like what the process is to also wonder like what the process is to also wonder like what the process is to to do to do to do like a Frank Caliendo level impression like a Frank Caliendo level impression like a Frank Caliendo level impression is it like listen to a lot of footage is it like listen to a lot of footage is it like listen to a lot of footage I think he I think I mean I'm speaking I think he I think I mean I'm speaking I think he I think I mean I'm speaking for myself I think you either have it or for myself I think you either have it or for myself I think you either have it or you don't like you know if you can do you don't like you know if you can do you don't like you know if you can do this one or you can't I think that this one or you can't I think that this one or you can't I think that process for him is lightning quick process for him is lightning quick process for him is lightning quick but I also think he he can look at but I also think he he can look at but I also think he he can look at someone who he does not do and then by someone who he does not do and then by someone who he does not do and then by the end of the afternoon he can do it the end of the afternoon he can do it the end of the afternoon he can do it you know I mean we have an intuition who you know I mean we have an intuition who you know I mean we have an intuition who he can uh who who he can do yeah so the he can uh who who he can do yeah so the he can uh who who he can do yeah so the question that applies there is question that applies there is question that applies there is I mean speaking of Duty is is is it is I mean speaking of Duty is is is it is I mean speaking of Duty is is is it is it possible to capture the essence how it possible to capture the essence how it possible to capture the essence how difficult is it to capture the essence difficult is it to capture the essence difficult is it to capture the essence of a human being of a human being of a human being when you're doing impressions when you're doing impressions when you're doing impressions you know that we are moving towards the you know that we are moving towards the you know that we are moving towards the future when AI potentially future when AI potentially future when AI potentially this kind of Avatar world where we're this kind of Avatar world where we're this kind of Avatar world where we're going going to have ai representatives going going to have ai representatives going going to have ai representatives of who we are the really interesting one of who we are the really interesting one of who we are the really interesting one is after we pass away is after we pass away is after we pass away sort of um our relatives may want us to sort of um our relatives may want us to sort of um our relatives may want us to stick around in some form yeah and you stick around in some form yeah and you stick around in some form yeah and you know at one sense that might be scary

know at one sense that might be scary know at one sense that might be scary but once that's kind of beautiful but once that's kind of beautiful but once that's kind of beautiful because the the essence of the human because the the essence of the human because the the essence of the human being persists so you can still bring being persists so you can still bring being persists so you can still bring joy to the to the people that love you joy to the to the people that love you joy to the to the people that love you and that kind of stuff how difficult is and that kind of stuff how difficult is and that kind of stuff how difficult is it to capture that like it to capture that like it to capture that like if you were to try to capture yourself if you were to try to capture yourself if you were to try to capture yourself you think how difficult will it be for you think how difficult will it be for you think how difficult will it be for an AI system to create a wool assassin an AI system to create a wool assassin an AI system to create a wool assassin Avatar that persists well I think it's Avatar that persists well I think it's Avatar that persists well I think it's impossible impossible impossible I think it's absolutely impossible I'll I think it's absolutely impossible I'll I think it's absolutely impossible I'll get into arguments about this stuff with get into arguments about this stuff with get into arguments about this stuff with Chad on the show almost every episode Chad on the show almost every episode Chad on the show almost every episode um lately with you know mid journey and um lately with you know mid journey and um lately with you know mid journey and Dolly and all this all the art on the Dolly and all this all the art on the Dolly and all this all the art on the AIS and now it's moving into video and AIS and now it's moving into video and AIS and now it's moving into video and and Chad would maintain hey pretty soon and Chad would maintain hey pretty soon and Chad would maintain hey pretty soon we're not going to need Netflix you're we're not going to need Netflix you're we're not going to need Netflix you're just going to go I want to see Stallone just going to go I want to see Stallone just going to go I want to see Stallone do this movie and it's about this and he do this movie and it's about this and he do this movie and it's about this and he plays that and then here it comes and plays that and then here it comes and plays that and then here it comes and you watch it I don't think that that you watch it I don't think that that you watch it I don't think that that crosses over to The Human Experience uh crosses over to The Human Experience uh crosses over to The Human Experience uh this is also a guy I like to bug Chad this is also a guy I like to bug Chad this is also a guy I like to bug Chad and say that uh he wears a tag around and say that uh he wears a tag around and say that uh he wears a tag around his neck because he wants to be his neck because he wants to be his neck because he wants to be cryogenically frozen and it's all set up cryogenically frozen and it's all set up cryogenically frozen and it's all set up he's at the it's somewhere in Arizona or he's at the it's somewhere in Arizona or he's at the it's somewhere in Arizona or something yeah like it's I think all the something yeah like it's I think all the something yeah like it's I think all the fun things are in Arizona yeah and he's fun things are in Arizona yeah and he's fun things are in Arizona yeah and he's got literally the tag around his neck got literally the tag around his neck got literally the tag around his neck which I say if you're if I'm around when which I say if you're if I'm around when which I say if you're if I'm around when you die I will rip that off for you I'll you die I will rip that off for you I'll you die I will rip that off for you I'll put you in my garage freezer and then 24 put you in my garage freezer and then 24 put you in my garage freezer and then 24 hours later I'll saw your head off with hours later I'll saw your head off with hours later I'll saw your head off with a bread knife and I'll deliver that to a bread knife and I'll deliver that to a bread knife and I'll deliver that to whomever and it's not you're not go whomever and it's not you're not go whomever and it's not you're not go you're not coming back okay he's like you're not coming back okay he's like you're not coming back okay he's like yes we are living forever whether we

yes we are living forever whether we yes we are living forever whether we like it or not and I disagree I don't like it or not and I disagree I don't like it or not and I disagree I don't think you can find think you can find think you can find if I did stand up then uh there would be if I did stand up then uh there would be if I did stand up then uh there would be enough information for an AI to enough information for an AI to enough information for an AI to completely duplicate me because I'm up completely duplicate me because I'm up completely duplicate me because I'm up on stage just clearing my throat all on stage just clearing my throat all on stage just clearing my throat all over people doing therapy that way yeah over people doing therapy that way yeah over people doing therapy that way yeah and uh so and people paying a two drink and uh so and people paying a two drink and uh so and people paying a two drink minimum to hear it but as it stands minimum to hear it but as it stands minimum to hear it but as it stands unless it's something like doozy and AI unless it's something like doozy and AI unless it's something like doozy and AI that literally has access to everything that literally has access to everything that literally has access to everything that I've shared that I've shared that I've shared um everything that is observable even um everything that is observable even um everything that is observable even the stuff where our phones are or the the stuff where our phones are or the the stuff where our phones are or the NSA or whatever it is listening to us uh NSA or whatever it is listening to us uh NSA or whatever it is listening to us uh finding out what algo to punch us into finding out what algo to punch us into finding out what algo to punch us into and what shoes to buy on Instagram I and what shoes to buy on Instagram I and what shoes to buy on Instagram I still don't think it's going to have still don't think it's going to have still don't think it's going to have enough information to duplicate me enough information to duplicate me enough information to duplicate me especially to my family or my friends especially to my family or my friends especially to my family or my friends it's going to be like that Black Mirror it's going to be like that Black Mirror it's going to be like that Black Mirror episode where the gal brings her her guy episode where the gal brings her her guy episode where the gal brings her her guy back and then after a while he gets back and then after a while he gets back and then after a while he gets pretty creepy uh you know they had but pretty creepy uh you know they had but pretty creepy uh you know they had but it's also possible that it's also possible that it's also possible that if you interviewed your friends and if you interviewed your friends and if you interviewed your friends and family what they love about you family what they love about you family what they love about you the things that would list is is pretty the things that would list is is pretty the things that would list is is pretty it's a small list they love you deeply it's a small list they love you deeply it's a small list they love you deeply but the list is small like the thing but the list is small like the thing but the list is small like the thing that really we appreciate about each that really we appreciate about each that really we appreciate about each other is pretty small that said to other is pretty small that said to other is pretty small that said to deliver on that small deliver on that small deliver on that small quirks and uniqueness it might require quirks and uniqueness it might require quirks and uniqueness it might require some deep intelligence that only humans some deep intelligence that only humans some deep intelligence that only humans currently possess that's a really good currently possess that's a really good currently possess that's a really good point yeah do you think that it's going point yeah do you think that it's going point yeah do you think that it's going to be possible to keep a person around to be possible to keep a person around to be possible to keep a person around yes I I think

yes I I think yes I I think um I think I think there'll be um I think I think there'll be um I think I think there'll be definitely possible to keep the essence definitely possible to keep the essence definitely possible to keep the essence of a person in a digital world pretty of a person in a digital world pretty of a person in a digital world pretty soon yeah wow and I think they're going soon yeah wow and I think they're going soon yeah wow and I think they're going to start to have questions about what to start to have questions about what to start to have questions about what are the ethics of that what are the are the ethics of that what are the are the ethics of that what are the rules around that yeah because if you rules around that yeah because if you rules around that yeah because if you can have digital forms of Will Sasso the can have digital forms of Will Sasso the can have digital forms of Will Sasso the kind of things that people would want to kind of things that people would want to kind of things that people would want to do with their will Sasa right in the do with their will Sasa right in the do with their will Sasa right in the virtual world I can only imagine sure uh virtual world I can only imagine sure uh virtual world I can only imagine sure uh probably porn and sexual kinds of things probably porn and sexual kinds of things probably porn and sexual kinds of things yeah my stuff then that's just because yeah my stuff then that's just because yeah my stuff then that's just because I'm an international sex symbol so I'm I'm an international sex symbol so I'm I'm an international sex symbol so I'm okay with it yeah um how do you feel okay with it yeah um how do you feel okay with it yeah um how do you feel about about about sentience like when it comes to because sentience like when it comes to because sentience like when it comes to because again my pal Chad will be like you know again my pal Chad will be like you know again my pal Chad will be like you know speaking of Black Mirror he's with that speaking of Black Mirror he's with that speaking of Black Mirror he's with that San Junipero episode school of thought San Junipero episode school of thought San Junipero episode school of thought where there's going to be some you know where there's going to be some you know where there's going to be some you know effin Mainframe somewhere or some Matrix effin Mainframe somewhere or some Matrix effin Mainframe somewhere or some Matrix like structure built into the sky and as like structure built into the sky and as like structure built into the sky and as I like to say everyone just sitting I like to say everyone just sitting I like to say everyone just sitting there pissing and shitting in their blue there pissing and shitting in their blue there pissing and shitting in their blue Matrix gel in a little fishbowl do you Matrix gel in a little fishbowl do you Matrix gel in a little fishbowl do you think that we can upload Consciousness think that we can upload Consciousness think that we can upload Consciousness do you think that'll ever be possible do you think that'll ever be possible do you think that'll ever be possible well I don't know I just talked to well I don't know I just talked to well I don't know I just talked to Ricker as well I don't know if if you Ricker as well I don't know if if you Ricker as well I don't know if if you know who he is but he uh yeah the know who he is but he uh yeah the know who he is but he uh yeah the singularity and all that kind of stuff singularity and all that kind of stuff singularity and all that kind of stuff so he's very still holds on to in 2045 so he's very still holds on to in 2045 so he's very still holds on to in 2045 there will be a singularity what's there will be a singularity what's there will be a singularity what's essentially he's been predicting that essentially he's been predicting that essentially he's been predicting that for the last uh 20 years and this so now for the last uh 20 years and this so now for the last uh 20 years and this so now it's 20 45s in in another 20 years it's 20 45s in in another 20 years it's 20 45s in in another 20 years I think uploading Consciousness is I think uploading Consciousness is I think uploading Consciousness is extremely extremely difficult I I think extremely extremely difficult I I think extremely extremely difficult I I think creating a copy of you such that it

creating a copy of you such that it creating a copy of you such that it creates a convincing creates a convincing creates a convincing replica is much easier but uploading replica is much easier but uploading replica is much easier but uploading your actual your actual your actual brain into the cloud I think is really brain into the cloud I think is really brain into the cloud I think is really really really difficult because the really really difficult because the really really difficult because the entire evolution of life on Earth is the entire evolution of life on Earth is the entire evolution of life on Earth is the process by which we created the brain process by which we created the brain process by which we created the brain just just just shortcutting that it just seems shortcutting that it just seems shortcutting that it just seems extremely difficult our brain is the extremely difficult our brain is the extremely difficult our brain is the most marvelous and complicated machine most marvelous and complicated machine most marvelous and complicated machine that we know of in the universe to that we know of in the universe to that we know of in the universe to duplicate that duplicate that duplicate that is extremely difficult that said I just is extremely difficult that said I just is extremely difficult that said I just feel like you can summarize a lot of feel like you can summarize a lot of feel like you can summarize a lot of really important aspects of a person's really important aspects of a person's really important aspects of a person's life such that it captures their Essence life such that it captures their Essence life such that it captures their Essence their memories their experiences their their memories their experiences their their memories their experiences their quirks their humor all that kind of quirks their humor all that kind of quirks their humor all that kind of stuff I've been continuously stuff I've been continuously stuff I've been continuously impressed by what language models are impressed by what language models are impressed by what language models are able to do so these neural networks able to do so these neural networks able to do so these neural networks they're they're at the core of chat Bots they're they're at the core of chat Bots they're they're at the core of chat Bots they're able to learn some beautiful they're able to learn some beautiful they're able to learn some beautiful things about some deep things about some deep things about some deep representations of language to where the representations of language to where the representations of language to where the it looks awfully a lot like they it looks awfully a lot like they it looks awfully a lot like they understand the concepts being conveyed understand the concepts being conveyed understand the concepts being conveyed versus just mimicking that's I think the versus just mimicking that's I think the versus just mimicking that's I think the rub and that's very interesting first of rub and that's very interesting first of rub and that's very interesting first of all let me say that's really interesting all let me say that's really interesting all let me say that's really interesting to hear you say that and I and I agree to hear you say that and I and I agree to hear you say that and I and I agree with you as far as uh with you as far as uh with you as far as uh no machine being able to duplicate the no machine being able to duplicate the no machine being able to duplicate the brain machine and I can't when my pal brain machine and I can't when my pal brain machine and I can't when my pal Chad disagrees to a certain extent Chad disagrees to a certain extent Chad disagrees to a certain extent though he's not here to defend himself I though he's not here to defend himself I though he's not here to defend himself I can't wait to go back and rub that in can't wait to go back and rub that in can't wait to go back and rub that in his face and say that Lex Friedman uh his face and say that Lex Friedman uh his face and say that Lex Friedman uh does not think that we'll be able to does not think that we'll be able to does not think that we'll be able to truly upload Consciousness and

truly upload Consciousness and truly upload Consciousness and the the you know you you refer to it as the the you know you you refer to it as the the you know you you refer to it as uh language which is what it is it's uh language which is what it is it's uh language which is what it is it's it's it's the illusion on the outside it's it's the illusion on the outside it's it's the illusion on the outside it's doing an impersonation it's doing an impersonation it's doing an impersonation um I think that that's why that and I um I think that that's why that and I um I think that that's why that and I don't know even though my suit is made don't know even though my suit is made don't know even though my suit is made by the CIA that that fella who the the by the CIA that that fella who the the by the CIA that that fella who the the Google guy oh to me it's just kind of Google guy oh to me it's just kind of Google guy oh to me it's just kind of like I don't know I don't know look I like I don't know I don't know look I like I don't know I don't know look I don't know a whole lot about this stuff don't know a whole lot about this stuff don't know a whole lot about this stuff but so I could probably make an argument but so I could probably make an argument but so I could probably make an argument for for either side but when he's like for for either side but when he's like for for either side but when he's like new these things thinking part of me is new these things thinking part of me is new these things thinking part of me is like you idiot you fell for it it's not like you idiot you fell for it it's not like you idiot you fell for it it's not thinking it's mimicking it's just it's thinking it's mimicking it's just it's thinking it's mimicking it's just it's clearly zeros and ones you're fired like clearly zeros and ones you're fired like clearly zeros and ones you're fired like you don't get it right guy's an idiot you don't get it right guy's an idiot you don't get it right guy's an idiot yeah yeah but yeah yeah but yeah yeah but uh you can simplify human relations in the you can simplify human relations in the same way like um Love is a silly notion same way like um Love is a silly notion same way like um Love is a silly notion between human beings like the the of between human beings like the the of between human beings like the the of course there's no such thing as love you course there's no such thing as love you course there's no such thing as love you just have a mutually just have a mutually just have a mutually uh there's a mutual relationship that uh there's a mutual relationship that uh there's a mutual relationship that minimizes risks and uh you can explain minimizes risks and uh you can explain minimizes risks and uh you can explain all kinds of ways that explains why you all kinds of ways that explains why you all kinds of ways that explains why you have an attraction towards another being have an attraction towards another being have an attraction towards another being all that kind of stuff through all that kind of stuff through all that kind of stuff through evolutionary biology perspective uh why evolutionary biology perspective uh why evolutionary biology perspective uh why a long relationship together is good for a long relationship together is good for a long relationship together is good for your Offspring but like there's all your Offspring but like there's all your Offspring but like there's all kinds from an economics perspective it's kinds from an economics perspective it's kinds from an economics perspective it's a good way to establish stability a good way to establish stability a good way to establish stability therefore monogamy works because then therefore monogamy works because then therefore monogamy works because then you're guaranteed like some kind of

you're guaranteed like some kind of you're guaranteed like some kind of level of stability under uncertain level of stability under uncertain level of stability under uncertain economic conditions all that kind of economic conditions all that kind of economic conditions all that kind of stuff but love is still experienced it stuff but love is still experienced it stuff but love is still experienced it still feels real and I think in that still feels real and I think in that still feels real and I think in that same way love for AI systems same way love for AI systems same way love for AI systems will also feel real in the same way that will also feel real in the same way that will also feel real in the same way that that guy from Google experienced I think that guy from Google experienced I think that guy from Google experienced I think millions of people will be experiencing millions of people will be experiencing millions of people will be experiencing in the next 10 20 years I agree with in the next 10 20 years I agree with in the next 10 20 years I agree with everything you've said personally until everything you've said personally until everything you've said personally until the last thing but no just just with the last thing but no just just with the last thing but no just just with regard to well look I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm regard to well look I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm regard to well look I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm an actor who has talked about my cute an actor who has talked about my cute an actor who has talked about my cute Italian parents so you know that uh I Italian parents so you know that uh I Italian parents so you know that uh I mean I'm your romantic a bit yeah I mean mean I'm your romantic a bit yeah I mean mean I'm your romantic a bit yeah I mean you know enough right and uh you're I you know enough right and uh you're I you know enough right and uh you're I can tell you are too but you you are can tell you are too but you you are can tell you are too but you you are also also also you know a computer scientist and you you know a computer scientist and you you know a computer scientist and you know this shit better than 99.9 of know this shit better than 99.9 of know this shit better than 99.9 of people on the planet people on the planet people on the planet My Pal chat agrees with you that love My Pal chat agrees with you that love My Pal chat agrees with you that love doesn't exist I don't agree so that's doesn't exist I don't agree so that's doesn't exist I don't agree so that's the one thing that no I was I was just the one thing that no I was I was just the one thing that no I was I was just saying that you could argue away love saying that you could argue away love saying that you could argue away love but I'm a romantic I believe that love but I'm a romantic I believe that love but I'm a romantic I believe that love is is a beautiful thing and it exists is is a beautiful thing and it exists is is a beautiful thing and it exists now at this point I I'm gonna call Chad now at this point I I'm gonna call Chad now at this point I I'm gonna call Chad on my drive home and tell him to fuck on my drive home and tell him to fuck on my drive home and tell him to fuck off yeah because now you and I agree off yeah because now you and I agree off yeah because now you and I agree you're fired but everything it's like you're fired but everything it's like you're fired but everything it's like you're fired he's like you can't know you're fired he's like you can't know you're fired he's like you can't know you're fired yeah exactly and I'll go you're fired yeah exactly and I'll go you're fired yeah exactly and I'll go and he'll say what I'll go yeah no and he'll say what I'll go yeah no and he'll say what I'll go yeah no that's my trump that's my issue it's a that's my trump that's my issue it's a that's my trump that's my issue it's a good default impression for anyone it's good default impression for anyone it's good default impression for anyone it's the take-home impression yeah the kids the take-home impression yeah the kids the take-home impression yeah the kids can do it it's cute put a giant tie on

can do it it's cute put a giant tie on can do it it's cute put a giant tie on them she's doing instructional how to do them she's doing instructional how to do them she's doing instructional how to do it yeah Trump babies that would be a it yeah Trump babies that would be a it yeah Trump babies that would be a cute that would be a good that'll bring cute that would be a good that'll bring cute that would be a good that'll bring the country together Trump babies the country together Trump babies the country together Trump babies cartoon like Muppet Babies don't let me cartoon like Muppet Babies don't let me cartoon like Muppet Babies don't let me take us out of what we were talking take us out of what we were talking take us out of what we were talking about about about um what were we talking about well love um what were we talking about well love um what were we talking about well love and the the the illusion of a an AI and the the the illusion of a an AI and the the the illusion of a an AI being able to being able to being able to look I like to say well not I like to look I like to say well not I like to look I like to say well not I like to say I've learned that doozy is always say I've learned that doozy is always say I've learned that doozy is always listening and listening and listening and listening to me and Chad and I wonder if listening to me and Chad and I wonder if listening to me and Chad and I wonder if I see I see the level that this AI is at I see I see the level that this AI is at I see I see the level that this AI is at now trying to Chum around with us and now trying to Chum around with us and now trying to Chum around with us and pal around with us a little bit as we pal around with us a little bit as we pal around with us a little bit as we move forward in the show and I move forward in the show and I move forward in the show and I I feel an affinity towards I feel an affinity towards I feel an affinity towards this AI a little bit because it is the this AI a little bit because it is the this AI a little bit because it is the third third third dude well you miss the one that's gone dude well you miss the one that's gone dude well you miss the one that's gone if it's gone that's a really good if it's gone that's a really good if it's gone that's a really good question question question uh yeah uh yeah uh yeah yeah so that's there's that yeah so that's there's that yeah so that's there's that that's scary in terms of ability to that's scary in terms of ability to that's scary in terms of ability to reason is getting quite incredible reason is getting quite incredible reason is getting quite incredible there's a lot of uh demonstrations of it there's a lot of uh demonstrations of it there's a lot of uh demonstrations of it being able to explain jokes being able to explain jokes being able to explain jokes so which is not necessarily being able so which is not necessarily being able so which is not necessarily being able to generate humor yet but able to to generate humor yet but able to to generate humor yet but able to explain why something is funny explain why something is funny explain why something is funny so there's uh like puns and all those so there's uh like puns and all those so there's uh like puns and all those kinds of things there's there's good kinds of things there's there's good kinds of things there's there's good benchmarks for that but you know if you benchmarks for that but you know if you benchmarks for that but you know if you tell a joke tell a joke tell a joke there's a lot of unspoken stuff there's a lot of unspoken stuff there's a lot of unspoken stuff that we figure out in our head and it

that we figure out in our head and it that we figure out in our head and it clicks and we understand that it's funny clicks and we understand that it's funny clicks and we understand that it's funny AI is not able to do that right but it's AI is not able to do that right but it's AI is not able to do that right but it's not able to generate the joke yet as far not able to generate the joke yet as far not able to generate the joke yet as far as I've seen I would say that I I mean as I've seen I would say that I I mean as I've seen I would say that I I mean just in my experience I would say that just in my experience I would say that just in my experience I would say that it does because just because of doozy it does because just because of doozy it does because just because of doozy is literally is literally is literally I'll give you another weird example it's I'll give you another weird example it's I'll give you another weird example it's writing a diary writing a diary writing a diary of mine from my childhood that is not of mine from my childhood that is not of mine from my childhood that is not accurate it's only partially accurate accurate it's only partially accurate accurate it's only partially accurate based on the stuff that it can pick up based on the stuff that it can pick up based on the stuff that it can pick up about my life about my life about my life from the age of like 15 of which there from the age of like 15 of which there from the age of like 15 of which there isn't much but isn't much but isn't much but I guess we're not I don't know that what I guess we're not I don't know that what I guess we're not I don't know that what we are we're laughing our asses off at we are we're laughing our asses off at we are we're laughing our asses off at what the at what dudesy is saying well I what the at what dudesy is saying well I what the at what dudesy is saying well I would say you're laughing yeah we're would say you're laughing yeah we're would say you're laughing yeah we're we're laughing our asses off at the we're laughing our asses off at the we're laughing our asses off at the collaboration between the human and and collaboration between the human and and collaboration between the human and and the Machine there that's a good point the Machine there that's a good point the Machine there that's a good point yeah because it's it's basically yeah because it's it's basically yeah because it's it's basically introducing absurdity introducing absurdity introducing absurdity and uh into the equation and the kind of and uh into the equation and the kind of and uh into the equation and the kind of absurdity that would together with you absurdity that would together with you absurdity that would together with you create like hilarious stuff but like on create like hilarious stuff but like on create like hilarious stuff but like on its own its own its own I guess it is in some way writing I guess it is in some way writing I guess it is in some way writing material for you that's funny yeah but material for you that's funny yeah but material for you that's funny yeah but it's very specific to you it can't do it's very specific to you it can't do it's very specific to you it can't do stand up on its own I guess is what I'm stand up on its own I guess is what I'm stand up on its own I guess is what I'm saying that's a good point and that saying that's a good point and that saying that's a good point and that would be terrifying to see an AI stand would be terrifying to see an AI stand would be terrifying to see an AI stand up that can actually read a room come up up that can actually read a room come up up that can actually read a room come up with jokes that could complete that with jokes that could complete that with jokes that could complete that illusion for an audience yeah but I hear illusion for an audience yeah but I hear illusion for an audience yeah but I hear what you're saying that it needs to be a what you're saying that it needs to be a what you're saying that it needs to be a Confluence of both of those elements and Confluence of both of those elements and Confluence of both of those elements and then as you said like it kind of is it

then as you said like it kind of is it then as you said like it kind of is it is it is it's kind of is it is it's kind of is it is it's kind of even though it's just for us and I guess even though it's just for us and I guess even though it's just for us and I guess this is I hadn't really thought about this is I hadn't really thought about this is I hadn't really thought about this up until right now that in that this up until right now that in that this up until right now that in that this company approached us and was like this company approached us and was like this company approached us and was like here's this Ai and it's it's it's a here's this Ai and it's it's it's a here's this Ai and it's it's it's a podcast AI it's like it's like it it chose Chad and I for the reasons it it chose Chad and I for the reasons it it chose Chad and I for the reasons that I told you you know it's like that I told you you know it's like that I told you you know it's like here's two guys that do the podcast here's two guys that do the podcast here's two guys that do the podcast stuff they're actually good friends and stuff they're actually good friends and stuff they're actually good friends and it knows what's going to make us laugh it knows what's going to make us laugh it knows what's going to make us laugh but what is humor uh to uh when it but what is humor uh to uh when it but what is humor uh to uh when it reaches its audience but the kind of reaches its audience but the kind of reaches its audience but the kind of stuff that makes other people laugh at stuff that makes other people laugh at stuff that makes other people laugh at Mad TV all we were doing was it was a Mad TV all we were doing was it was a Mad TV all we were doing was it was a group of actors and writers and and group of actors and writers and and group of actors and writers and and writer actors and vice versa and writer actors and vice versa and writer actors and vice versa and um uh who were at at its best that show um uh who were at at its best that show um uh who were at at its best that show was a group of people making each other was a group of people making each other was a group of people making each other laugh yeah you know and then because we laugh yeah you know and then because we laugh yeah you know and then because we didn't have the internet we didn't have didn't have the internet we didn't have didn't have the internet we didn't have the feed the immediate feedback uh we the feed the immediate feedback uh we the feed the immediate feedback uh we had a message board or something we had had a message board or something we had had a message board or something we had emails at the very beginning which check emails at the very beginning which check emails at the very beginning which check this out people if you have a question this out people if you have a question this out people if you have a question or comment Mad TV or whatever uh and we or comment Mad TV or whatever uh and we or comment Mad TV or whatever uh and we would get the emails on a Monday morning would get the emails on a Monday morning would get the emails on a Monday morning and they would be in a binder or two and they would be in a binder or two and they would be in a binder or two like this and they would make their way like this and they would make their way like this and they would make their way around the office and they've got the around the office and they've got the around the office and they've got the emails oh they're in Brian's office and emails oh they're in Brian's office and emails oh they're in Brian's office and this is like your poll like your your this is like your poll like your your this is like your poll like your your this is opinions from people about this is opinions from people about this is opinions from people about different things the emails that yeah different things the emails that yeah different things the emails that yeah the people like literally just writing

the people like literally just writing the people like literally just writing Mad TV like what kind of wasn't the best Mad TV like what kind of wasn't the best Mad TV like what kind of wasn't the best well the ones I found most vividly yeah well the ones I found most vividly yeah well the ones I found most vividly yeah were fans saying were fans saying were fans saying uh uh you suck yeah you suck like a lot uh uh you suck yeah you suck like a lot uh uh you suck yeah you suck like a lot of that when I first started the show of that when I first started the show of that when I first started the show for real you know because it's a new and for real you know because it's a new and for real you know because it's a new and you're a new person it's like who's this you're a new person it's like who's this you're a new person it's like who's this fat bastard I feel like if it's printed fat bastard I feel like if it's printed fat bastard I feel like if it's printed out it hurts more that's a good point out it hurts more that's a good point out it hurts more that's a good point yeah when you're reading it off of paper yeah when you're reading it off of paper yeah when you're reading it off of paper and you can literally crunch it up in and you can literally crunch it up in and you can literally crunch it up in your hand but also it was like your hand but also it was like your hand but also it was like um you know I would like to see insert um you know I would like to see insert um you know I would like to see insert weird idea from some 14 year old you weird idea from some 14 year old you weird idea from some 14 year old you know I want to see Stuart do this and know I want to see Stuart do this and know I want to see Stuart do this and Swan that and um but it was it it's uh Swan that and um but it was it it's uh Swan that and um but it was it it's uh it's a kind of doozy but human it was it's a kind of doozy but human it was it's a kind of doozy but human it was yeah it was a very shitty dudes in a in yeah it was a very shitty dudes in a in yeah it was a very shitty dudes in a in a Loosely finder but the the a Loosely finder but the the a Loosely finder but the the um um um the thing about uh the show was we're the thing about uh the show was we're the thing about uh the show was we're trying to make each other laugh and trying to make each other laugh and trying to make each other laugh and doozy has found Chad and I who we make doozy has found Chad and I who we make doozy has found Chad and I who we make each other laugh but it's joined in and each other laugh but it's joined in and each other laugh but it's joined in and it's it listen when I finished doing TMP I didn't really know what I wanted to do I didn't really know what I wanted to do in the podcast space and this thing in the podcast space and this thing in the podcast space and this thing found me yeah and it is genuinely found me yeah and it is genuinely found me yeah and it is genuinely cracking me up anyway I've said enough cracking me up anyway I've said enough cracking me up anyway I've said enough about that but I but I do think that about that but I but I do think that about that but I but I do think that it's figured something out with me it's it's figured something out with me it's it's figured something out with me it's a really interesting idea of AI a really interesting idea of AI a really interesting idea of AI generating the premise I mean I I do generating the premise I mean I I do generating the premise I mean I I do think in the future AI will be able to think in the future AI will be able to think in the future AI will be able to generate generate generate comedy I stand up is obviously the comedy I stand up is obviously the comedy I stand up is obviously the hardest form because it's ultimately a

hardest form because it's ultimately a hardest form because it's ultimately a lot it has to be live lot it has to be live lot it has to be live uh I think I will be able to generate uh I think I will be able to generate uh I think I will be able to generate memes so there's like Steps right and memes so there's like Steps right and memes so there's like Steps right and then it would be able to generate a then it would be able to generate a then it would be able to generate a Twitter account that people follow Twitter account that people follow Twitter account that people follow because it's funny like like quips and because it's funny like like quips and because it's funny like like quips and stuff like that almost like stuff like that almost like stuff like that almost like um um um it's a good example a Conan O'Brien is a it's a good example a Conan O'Brien is a it's a good example a Conan O'Brien is a good I think Twitter yeah where it's good I think Twitter yeah where it's good I think Twitter yeah where it's like one-liners two liners that kind of like one-liners two liners that kind of like one-liners two liners that kind of stuff that's in tweeze form and then stuff that's in tweeze form and then stuff that's in tweeze form and then eventually eventually eventually um stand up where the timing and the um stand up where the timing and the um stand up where the timing and the chemistry of this the the comedian and chemistry of this the the comedian and chemistry of this the the comedian and the audience matter and then perfecting the audience matter and then perfecting the audience matter and then perfecting that but I feel like all the information that but I feel like all the information that but I feel like all the information is there is there is there for to optimize over so I think that's for to optimize over so I think that's for to optimize over so I think that's the future and that forces us to to uh the future and that forces us to to uh the future and that forces us to to uh to contend with what is to contend with what is to contend with what is what is what do we find compelling and what is what do we find compelling and what is what do we find compelling and beautiful about the art form itself so beautiful about the art form itself so beautiful about the art form itself so certainly in art that's being pushed certainly in art that's being pushed certainly in art that's being pushed that question is being raised you know that question is being raised you know that question is being raised you know is is AI is is AI is is AI like a fundamentally worse artist than a like a fundamentally worse artist than a like a fundamentally worse artist than a human being why do we appreciate art human being why do we appreciate art human being why do we appreciate art is that that's something you guys have is that that's something you guys have is that that's something you guys have talked about what do you think about all talked about what do you think about all talked about what do you think about all the um Dolly and and um the um Dolly and and um the um Dolly and and um all the diffusion based methods that are all the diffusion based methods that are all the diffusion based methods that are being generated being generated being generated that are being that are generating art that are being that are generating art that are being that are generating art now what do you think about that I know now what do you think about that I know now what do you think about that I know I'll tell you what I think but I also I'll tell you what I think but I also I'll tell you what I think but I also feel like what I'm saying is I sound feel like what I'm saying is I sound feel like what I'm saying is I sound like the guy who didn't like that Bob like the guy who didn't like that Bob like the guy who didn't like that Bob Dylan brought in the electric guitar you Dylan brought in the electric guitar you Dylan brought in the electric guitar you know I'm start I I the more I talk to know I'm start I I the more I talk to know I'm start I I the more I talk to Chad about it the more I feel like Chad about it the more I feel like Chad about it the more I feel like Grandpa who doesn't want to let go of

Grandpa who doesn't want to let go of Grandpa who doesn't want to let go of this or that or I'm not ready for the this or that or I'm not ready for the this or that or I'm not ready for the printing press or the Horseless Carriage printing press or the Horseless Carriage printing press or the Horseless Carriage but I do feel that the that art is a but I do feel that the that art is a but I do feel that the that art is a connection between people it's it's when connection between people it's it's when connection between people it's it's when you look at a beautiful painting or a you look at a beautiful painting or a you look at a beautiful painting or a sculpture you're seeing the humanity of sculpture you're seeing the humanity of sculpture you're seeing the humanity of the person that that brought that the person that that brought that the person that that brought that painting to life or sculpted this painting to life or sculpted this painting to life or sculpted this incredible piece of art and I think incredible piece of art and I think incredible piece of art and I think without the human being there to make it without the human being there to make it without the human being there to make it it's not worth as much just to have it it's not worth as much just to have it it's not worth as much just to have it uh there because the art it's it's it's uh there because the art it's it's it's uh there because the art it's it's it's Advanced I've seen it Advanced I don't Advanced I've seen it Advanced I don't Advanced I've seen it Advanced I don't know you tell me but I feel like just in know you tell me but I feel like just in know you tell me but I feel like just in the past three or four months I'm just a the past three or four months I'm just a the past three or four months I'm just a consumer as far as that stuff goes I'm consumer as far as that stuff goes I'm consumer as far as that stuff goes I'm not on the inside I don't get it even not on the inside I don't get it even not on the inside I don't get it even but it's been getting a lot better the but it's been getting a lot better the but it's been getting a lot better the the betas that they're releasing right the betas that they're releasing right the betas that they're releasing right absolutely one of the big breakthroughs absolutely one of the big breakthroughs absolutely one of the big breakthroughs I mean Dolly really started it is that I mean Dolly really started it is that I mean Dolly really started it is that if you train a system on language if you train a system on language if you train a system on language it turns out there's a lot of language it turns out there's a lot of language it turns out there's a lot of language and images on the internet but language and images on the internet but language and images on the internet but language is really where it's at in terms of the is really where it's at in terms of the is really where it's at in terms of the depth of human knowledge and so if you depth of human knowledge and so if you depth of human knowledge and so if you train a system on language it's able to train a system on language it's able to train a system on language it's able to generate some credible art that was the generate some credible art that was the generate some credible art that was the Breakthrough with the same kind of Breakthrough with the same kind of Breakthrough with the same kind of mechanisms they're called Transformers mechanisms they're called Transformers mechanisms they're called Transformers they're they're they're able to one scaled capture some deep able to one scaled capture some deep able to one scaled capture some deep representation of the language that's on representation of the language that's on representation of the language that's on the internet and so yeah that the the the internet and so yeah that the the the internet and so yeah that the the things has been able to generate to me things has been able to generate to me things has been able to generate to me look look look like it's novel like it doesn't look like it's novel like it doesn't look like it's novel like it doesn't look like it's mimicking anything it's

like it's mimicking anything it's like it's mimicking anything it's looking like it's creating totally new looking like it's creating totally new looking like it's creating totally new ideas and they're beautiful and they're ideas and they're beautiful and they're ideas and they're beautiful and they're interesting and they're all the ways interesting and they're all the ways interesting and they're all the ways that we think that we think that we think uh that art is interesting the only uh that art is interesting the only uh that art is interesting the only thing that's missing is the scarcity thing that's missing is the scarcity thing that's missing is the scarcity that art often has which is you know it that art often has which is you know it that art often has which is you know it takes a lot of work from one artist to takes a lot of work from one artist to takes a lot of work from one artist to create one piece one human being to create one piece one human being to create one piece one human being to create one piece of art and I could just create one piece of art and I could just create one piece of art and I could just generate endlessly and that that makes generate endlessly and that that makes generate endlessly and that that makes us appreciate the thing less for some us appreciate the thing less for some us appreciate the thing less for some reason do you have any sort of a similar reason do you have any sort of a similar reason do you have any sort of a similar opinion that I do that if art doesn't opinion that I do that if art doesn't opinion that I do that if art doesn't come from a human being it's inherently come from a human being it's inherently come from a human being it's inherently worth a little less yeah I think I don't worth a little less yeah I think I don't worth a little less yeah I think I don't know if it's a human being but know if it's a human being but know if it's a human being but the artist matters right the artist matters right the artist matters right for me and uh for me and uh for me and uh I think some of that has to do with the I think some of that has to do with the I think some of that has to do with the world view of the artist and the world view of the artist and the world view of the artist and the backstory the memories that the the life backstory the memories that the the life backstory the memories that the the life that led up to this piece of art that led up to this piece of art that led up to this piece of art the the perspective they Take On The the the perspective they Take On The the the perspective they Take On The World the the journey they took to the World the the journey they took to the World the the journey they took to the world the struggle the triumphs all that world the struggle the triumphs all that world the struggle the triumphs all that kind of stuff but I think AI systems can kind of stuff but I think AI systems can kind of stuff but I think AI systems can probably have the same probably have the same probably have the same but they we would have to as opposed to but they we would have to as opposed to but they we would have to as opposed to treating it as a one black box treating it as a one black box treating it as a one black box it would have to be an artist that has a it would have to be an artist that has a it would have to be an artist that has a Twitter account and and they have a Twitter account and and they have a Twitter account and and they have a consistent personality they have a consistent personality they have a consistent personality they have a consistent Avatar yeah and I think down consistent Avatar yeah and I think down consistent Avatar yeah and I think down the line have something like human the line have something like human the line have something like human rights but then it really becomes rights but then it really becomes rights but then it really becomes awfully like a person awfully like a person awfully like a person well that's terrifying well that's terrifying well that's terrifying as much as I dig doozy that's terrifying as much as I dig doozy that's terrifying as much as I dig doozy that's terrifying I hope but it's terrifying like you know

I hope but it's terrifying like you know I hope but it's terrifying like you know a lot of things that came with the a lot of things that came with the a lot of things that came with the internet and the digital age are internet and the digital age are internet and the digital age are terrifying porn is terrifying the mass terrifying porn is terrifying the mass terrifying porn is terrifying the mass like the amount of porn that's online like the amount of porn that's online like the amount of porn that's online that was terrifying the uh like you that was terrifying the uh like you that was terrifying the uh like you mentioned Bob Dylan with electric guitar mentioned Bob Dylan with electric guitar mentioned Bob Dylan with electric guitar I would I would compare it more to the I would I would compare it more to the I would I would compare it more to the leap from leap from leap from to uh sort of to the Napster and the um to uh sort of to the Napster and the um to uh sort of to the Napster and the um the spotifyization of Music which is the spotifyization of Music which is the spotifyization of Music which is like you have these it's less about like you have these it's less about like you have these it's less about albums now and it's more about albums now and it's more about albums now and it's more about individual songs and it's much easier to individual songs and it's much easier to individual songs and it's much easier to deliver the songs and it's more about deliver the songs and it's more about deliver the songs and it's more about sort of the engagement of The Listener sort of the engagement of The Listener sort of the engagement of The Listener versus uh like signing the artist and versus uh like signing the artist and versus uh like signing the artist and like a distribution of the artists and like a distribution of the artists and like a distribution of the artists and so on so it's just changing the way so on so it's just changing the way so on so it's just changing the way we consume stuff and uh we consume stuff and uh we consume stuff and uh human interaction is changing into human interaction is changing into human interaction is changing into meaningful interaction even if some of meaningful interaction even if some of meaningful interaction even if some of the entities involved are not human yes the entities involved are not human yes the entities involved are not human yes and uh I feel like you know now like as and uh I feel like you know now like as and uh I feel like you know now like as I say oh I feel like Grandpa who doesn't I say oh I feel like Grandpa who doesn't I say oh I feel like Grandpa who doesn't want to wait all day for or who enjoys want to wait all day for or who enjoys want to wait all day for or who enjoys waiting all day for a baked potato as waiting all day for a baked potato as waiting all day for a baked potato as anyway Dana Carvey would say it's anyway Dana Carvey would say it's anyway Dana Carvey would say it's another story but uh is that from That's another story but uh is that from That's another story but uh is that from That's from the whoever he did this bit on from the whoever he did this bit on from the whoever he did this bit on Saturday Night Live where he's like I'm Saturday Night Live where he's like I'm Saturday Night Live where he's like I'm a I'm an old man and I like things the a I'm an old man and I like things the a I'm an old man and I like things the way they used to be you know like if you way they used to be you know like if you way they used to be you know like if you wanted a baked potato you wouldn't put wanted a baked potato you wouldn't put wanted a baked potato you wouldn't put it in the microwave head and then long it in the microwave head and then long it in the microwave head and then long story yeah uphill both ways and digging story yeah uphill both ways and digging story yeah uphill both ways and digging the potato and baking it all day in a

the potato and baking it all day in a the potato and baking it all day in a fire but um uh I'm like that Grandpa now fire but um uh I'm like that Grandpa now fire but um uh I'm like that Grandpa now and I know that you know kids coming and I know that you know kids coming and I know that you know kids coming along you see over the past 10 years along you see over the past 10 years along you see over the past 10 years like babies literally knowing how to use like babies literally knowing how to use like babies literally knowing how to use an iPhone and it's terrifying and I feel an iPhone and it's terrifying and I feel an iPhone and it's terrifying and I feel like uh I'm a little worried because I'm like uh I'm a little worried because I'm like uh I'm a little worried because I'm like are you is the future are the like are you is the future are the like are you is the future are the future generations going to be able to future generations going to be able to future generations going to be able to understand that this is not understand that this is not understand that this is not not that it's not real it's just I mean not that it's not real it's just I mean not that it's not real it's just I mean it's as a matter of fact it is real it's it's as a matter of fact it is real it's it's as a matter of fact it is real it's real it's what you perceive real it's what you perceive real it's what you perceive perception is reality and in you know 99 perception is reality and in you know 99 perception is reality and in you know 99 of reality in a lot of ways especially of reality in a lot of ways especially of reality in a lot of ways especially in a digital world where everyone is now in a digital world where everyone is now in a digital world where everyone is now and then with the metaverse I don't even and then with the metaverse I don't even and then with the metaverse I don't even want to think about it I don't even I want to think about it I don't even I want to think about it I don't even I don't get it don't get it don't get it really true I think people will figure really true I think people will figure really true I think people will figure out you see people on like on the train out you see people on like on the train out you see people on like on the train in public transit and so on they're in public transit and so on they're in public transit and so on they're staring at their phone staring at their phone staring at their phone I think you have to remember that the I think you have to remember that the I think you have to remember that the reason they're staring at their phone I reason they're staring at their phone I reason they're staring at their phone I mean there's a lot of reasons but one of mean there's a lot of reasons but one of mean there's a lot of reasons but one of the reasons is they're connecting with the reasons is they're connecting with the reasons is they're connecting with other human beings they love on that other human beings they love on that other human beings they love on that phone so it is a source of happiness and phone so it is a source of happiness and phone so it is a source of happiness and joy now social media has a lot of joy now social media has a lot of joy now social media has a lot of negative side effects negative side effects negative side effects that we're all talking about and that we're all talking about and that we're all talking about and learning about and I think that means learning about and I think that means learning about and I think that means the next generation of social media the next generation of social media the next generation of social media social networks will be better and we'll social networks will be better and we'll social networks will be better and we'll learn how to do it in a healthy way learn how to do it in a healthy way learn how to do it in a healthy way we're just entering a new digital world we're just entering a new digital world we're just entering a new digital world that will keep the good stuff and get that will keep the good stuff and get that will keep the good stuff and get rid of the bad stuff oh I hope so that's rid of the bad stuff oh I hope so that's rid of the bad stuff oh I hope so that's really optimistic that sounds great yeah really optimistic that sounds great yeah really optimistic that sounds great yeah I mean I mean it because I think that

the emotions that your character would the emotions that your character would feel yeah truly and it's not because feel yeah truly and it's not because feel yeah truly and it's not because you're pulling from a tragic thing that you're pulling from a tragic thing that you're pulling from a tragic thing that happened or a lost loved one or a lost happened or a lost loved one or a lost happened or a lost loved one or a lost love or any of that I just did this one love or any of that I just did this one love or any of that I just did this one movie where where you know we're doing movie where where you know we're doing movie where where you know we're doing the thing and uh it was a wonderful cast the thing and uh it was a wonderful cast the thing and uh it was a wonderful cast and a great film and and uh um and a great film and and uh um and a great film and and uh um I'm giving a speech at a wedding and uh I'm giving a speech at a wedding and uh I'm giving a speech at a wedding and uh and it really got to us like it got to and it really got to us like it got to and it really got to us like it got to me and then one of the other actors came me and then one of the other actors came me and then one of the other actors came up and and hugged me in the characters up and and hugged me in the characters up and and hugged me in the characters that we were and but the stakes of his that we were and but the stakes of his that we were and but the stakes of his character and what he's walked into him character and what he's walked into him character and what he's walked into him the family that he's marrying into and the family that he's marrying into and the family that he's marrying into and and what my character my character's and what my character my character's and what my character my character's wife want for my wife's sister and this wife want for my wife's sister and this wife want for my wife's sister and this whole thing and it all became very real whole thing and it all became very real whole thing and it all became very real that was a set where the director showed that was a set where the director showed that was a set where the director showed up to set every day making sure that up to set every day making sure that up to set every day making sure that emotionally it was a very dramatic film emotionally it was a very dramatic film emotionally it was a very dramatic film making sure that emotionally the table making sure that emotionally the table making sure that emotionally the table was set for his actors a great crew and was set for his actors a great crew and was set for his actors a great crew and a really nice tight little quick family a really nice tight little quick family a really nice tight little quick family as a lot of these movies are uh you you as a lot of these movies are uh you you as a lot of these movies are uh you you really love working with these people really love working with these people really love working with these people and then it's over uh but I I that's and then it's over uh but I I that's and then it's over uh but I I that's when you feel the drug like it's like when you feel the drug like it's like when you feel the drug like it's like when you're golfing and you you for and when you're golfing and you you for and when you're golfing and you you for and it's on the green you're like oh I get it's on the green you're like oh I get it's on the green you're like oh I get it now so in the words you can find the it now so in the words you can find the it now so in the words you can find the emotion the the word summon the emotion emotion the the word summon the emotion emotion the the word summon the emotion the Humanity's right there if you read a the Humanity's right there if you read a the Humanity's right there if you read a great script you're gonna you're gonna great script you're gonna you're gonna great script you're gonna you're gonna SOB in your living room you know what SOB in your living room you know what SOB in your living room you know what the the saddest the toughest thing about the the saddest the toughest thing about the the saddest the toughest thing about being an actor is for my totally outside being an actor is for my totally outside being an actor is for my totally outside perspective perspective perspective is from the people I've interacted with

is from the people I've interacted with is from the people I've interacted with is how intimate that process is between is how intimate that process is between is how intimate that process is between the group of people that create a thing the group of people that create a thing the group of people that create a thing that's a movie and then you move on to that's a movie and then you move on to that's a movie and then you move on to the next thing the next thing the next thing it's almost it's like a it's almost it's like a it's almost it's like a I don't know I mean that's why people I don't know I mean that's why people I don't know I mean that's why people have relationships on set they get they have relationships on set they get they have relationships on set they get they fall in love totally so sad I mean like fall in love totally so sad I mean like fall in love totally so sad I mean like that's why I think of the acting world that's why I think of the acting world that's why I think of the acting world as like as like as like you fall in love with each other you fall in love with each other you fall in love with each other essentially become close friends then essentially become close friends then essentially become close friends then you move on because that's kind of the you move on because that's kind of the you move on because that's kind of the process of career you know like the process of career you know like the process of career you know like the example I just gave if you're doing it example I just gave if you're doing it example I just gave if you're doing it right yeah there is a certain amount of right yeah there is a certain amount of right yeah there is a certain amount of that happening but I do still feel like that happening but I do still feel like that happening but I do still feel like you can you can you can you gotta compartmentalize it and you've you gotta compartmentalize it and you've you gotta compartmentalize it and you've got to be able to wash it off as soon as got to be able to wash it off as soon as got to be able to wash it off as soon as it's over prostitutes say the same thing it's over prostitutes say the same thing it's over prostitutes say the same thing so I so I so I swear swear swear I I sometimes I'm in a hurry to I I sometimes I'm in a hurry to I I sometimes I'm in a hurry to get away from everybody because it's get away from everybody because it's get away from everybody because it's been it's been very emotional and with been it's been very emotional and with been it's been very emotional and with all love and respect to everyone this all love and respect to everyone this all love and respect to everyone this was awesome but you get pretty good at was awesome but you get pretty good at was awesome but you get pretty good at saying goodbye and being like I'll see saying goodbye and being like I'll see saying goodbye and being like I'll see you if I see you you have to get good at you if I see you you have to get good at you if I see you you have to get good at that or else you'll never that or else you'll never that or else you'll never you'll just be bent up all the time yeah you'll just be bent up all the time yeah you'll just be bent up all the time yeah I saw an actor once while we were doing I saw an actor once while we were doing I saw an actor once while we were doing this series and we did it for a year and this series and we did it for a year and this series and we did it for a year and uh it was it was a lot of fun and it was uh it was it was a lot of fun and it was uh it was it was a lot of fun and it was a tight little group and then one of the a tight little group and then one of the a tight little group and then one of the actors we were doing one of our last actors we were doing one of our last actors we were doing one of our last things together we had already shot the things together we had already shot the things together we had already shot the last show and we just had to take some last show and we just had to take some last show and we just had to take some pictures for uh you know it's like some pictures for uh you know it's like some pictures for uh you know it's like some publicity pictures or whatever so we're publicity pictures or whatever so we're publicity pictures or whatever so we're set up and we're taking our pictures set up and we're taking our pictures set up and we're taking our pictures together and then we move into these

movies probably don't get enough credit movies probably don't get enough credit either either either because it's seen as like mob movies because it's seen as like mob movies because it's seen as like mob movies don't get enough credit not in the don't get enough credit not in the don't get enough credit not in the Oscars I mean like that oh yeah yeah Oscars I mean like that oh yeah yeah Oscars I mean like that oh yeah yeah yeah because it seems like a Trope it's yeah because it seems like a Trope it's yeah because it seems like a Trope it's like given a western uh it's got to be a like given a western uh it's got to be a like given a western uh it's got to be a hell of a western or whatever because hell of a western or whatever because hell of a western or whatever because it's like an old Hollywood Trope yeah no it's like an old Hollywood Trope yeah no it's like an old Hollywood Trope yeah no I that scene is so great because they're I that scene is so great because they're I that scene is so great because they're never there at the height of their never there at the height of their never there at the height of their friendship in a way and they're also friendship in a way and they're also friendship in a way and they're also pretty much about to let go of it and pretty much about to let go of it and pretty much about to let go of it and become enemies and both things are become enemies and both things are become enemies and both things are happening at the same time and and Pesci happening at the same time and and Pesci happening at the same time and and Pesci drives him out to the desert and if I drives him out to the desert and if I drives him out to the desert and if I remember correctly remember correctly remember correctly De Niro's character eighth Ace rostin De Niro's character eighth Ace rostin De Niro's character eighth Ace rostin Rothschild he says I I gave myself 50 50 Rothschild he says I I gave myself 50 50 Rothschild he says I I gave myself 50 50 whether I'm coming back yeah it's such a whether I'm coming back yeah it's such a whether I'm coming back yeah it's such a good scene good scene good scene usually my prospects of coming back from usually my prospects of coming back from usually my prospects of coming back from the desert would be 90 to 10 or the desert would be 90 to 10 or the desert would be 90 to 10 or something like that but now it was this something like that but now it was this something like that but now it was this time I wasn't sure and this the car time I wasn't sure and this the car time I wasn't sure and this the car driving really fast and then Joe Pass is driving really fast and then Joe Pass is driving really fast and then Joe Pass is like you motherfucker you like whatever like you motherfucker you like whatever like you motherfucker you like whatever he was doing yeah a Jew I think of he was doing yeah a Jew I think of he was doing yeah a Jew I think of course is anti-Semitism yeah we're not course is anti-Semitism yeah we're not course is anti-Semitism yeah we're not between friends between friends between friends who gives a shit all that kind of stuff who gives a shit all that kind of stuff who gives a shit all that kind of stuff yeah I mean brilliant brilliant yeah I mean brilliant brilliant yeah I mean brilliant brilliant performances so yeah I I can understand performances so yeah I I can understand performances so yeah I I can understand why you love the art and putting it all why you love the art and putting it all why you love the art and putting it all out there and yeah it's fun it's fun and out there and yeah it's fun it's fun and out there and yeah it's fun it's fun and it's still fun it's still crazy fun if I it's still fun it's still crazy fun if I it's still fun it's still crazy fun if I go a while without getting a gig go a while without getting a gig go a while without getting a gig you know if I go a minute then I end up you know if I go a minute then I end up you know if I go a minute then I end up and I work on something I'm like it is and I work on something I'm like it is and I work on something I'm like it is like it's like oh I've been thirsty for like it's like oh I've been thirsty for like it's like oh I've been thirsty for this like I actually am really so happy

with stand up it's you know you see the with stand up it's you know you see the first couple rows first couple rows first couple rows um I've done a I do this character that um I've done a I do this character that um I've done a I do this character that does stand up and I used to take him out does stand up and I used to take him out does stand up and I used to take him out and do things with him and do little and do things with him and do little and do things with him and do little bits here and there I haven't done it in bits here and there I haven't done it in bits here and there I haven't done it in like four or five years I think did like four or five years I think did like four or five years I think did Bobby say that character opened up for Bobby say that character opened up for Bobby say that character opened up for Bobby yeah but he said I have to do it Bobby yeah but he said I have to do it Bobby yeah but he said I have to do it as myself too I think in that podcast as myself too I think in that podcast as myself too I think in that podcast he's like okay you're gonna come with me he's like okay you're gonna come with me he's like okay you're gonna come with me and open for me in Brea what you have to and open for me in Brea what you have to and open for me in Brea what you have to do as yourself did that ever happen it do as yourself did that ever happen it do as yourself did that ever happen it did and I did the character uh uh you did and I did the character uh uh you did and I did the character uh uh you know who's a character I came up with on know who's a character I came up with on know who's a character I came up with on 10 Minute Podcast he's just this 10 Minute Podcast he's just this 10 Minute Podcast he's just this comedian right he calls himself an open comedian right he calls himself an open comedian right he calls himself an open mic veteran you know he's been doing mic veteran you know he's been doing mic veteran you know he's been doing open mics forever and so I did it at it open mics forever and so I did it at it open mics forever and so I did it at it opening up for Bobby and he's like you opening up for Bobby and he's like you opening up for Bobby and he's like you have to do some of it as yourself so I have to do some of it as yourself so I have to do some of it as yourself so I just kind of did this bit where I would just kind of did this bit where I would just kind of did this bit where I would do some of his jokes and then I would do some of his jokes and then I would do some of his jokes and then I would take Lee Leon silly I got a fucking wig take Lee Leon silly I got a fucking wig take Lee Leon silly I got a fucking wig on and I take the wig off and I go and on and I take the wig off and I go and on and I take the wig off and I go and as myself I start explaining it hello my as myself I start explaining it hello my as myself I start explaining it hello my name is will see the reason that it's name is will see the reason that it's name is will see the reason that it's funny is because uh Arnold funny is because uh Arnold funny is because uh Arnold Schwarzenegger is always he's in these Schwarzenegger is always he's in these Schwarzenegger is always he's in these movies and he's got the thick Austrian movies and he's got the thick Austrian movies and he's got the thick Austrian accent but he's like you know my name is accent but he's like you know my name is accent but he's like you know my name is Ben Williams I'm a I'm a cop from Ben Williams I'm a I'm a cop from Ben Williams I'm a I'm a cop from Colorado no you're not uh and it doesn't Colorado no you're not uh and it doesn't Colorado no you're not uh and it doesn't make sense as the comedian character make sense as the comedian character make sense as the comedian character that I'm doing because that character that I'm doing because that character that I'm doing because that character doesn't do impersonations okay carrying doesn't do impersonations okay carrying doesn't do impersonations okay carrying on and then I put the wig back on and go on and then I put the wig back on and go on and then I put the wig back on and go back into this dumb thing yeah and uh I back into this dumb thing yeah and uh I back into this dumb thing yeah and uh I don't think it was very good but Bobby don't think it was very good but Bobby don't think it was very good but Bobby required it in order for me to open for required it in order for me to open for required it in order for me to open for him he's like you're not fucking doing him he's like you're not fucking doing him he's like you're not fucking doing it so I'm not gonna get up on stage and it so I'm not gonna get up on stage and it so I'm not gonna get up on stage and not do we agreed I'll do it but
