Yeah, well, none. That's pushing it, but virtually none.

You know, I collected Russian realist art from the 20th century, a lot of it. I have like 500 pieces of it. And I looked at tens of thousands of paintings from the Soviet Union. A lot of it rough impressionism. It wasn't exactly realism. And many of the pieces I got are spectacular from an artistic and technical perspective, even though to some degree they're subordinated to propaganda.

But what was really cool about having the pieces around is that as we recede from the propagandistic milieu of the work, the art shines through. And in 100 years, these will just be pieces of art. There'll be no propaganda left in them at all.

Well, we should probably stop with this. Yes, sorry. I know I'm very happy about it. I mean, one of the things, and this is very much worth considering, no doubt you gentlemen have already considered it, but, you know, the way that you circumvent the propagandists isn't by explicit political statement. You do it by story.

Tell a great story. And if a story is great, it isn't subservient to propaganda because that would destroy the greatness. And there isn't anything that's more destructive to propagandistic totalitarianism than greatness.

This is why I'm so excited, partly why I wanted to invite you on the show too. I'm so excited that you've come to Phoenix and that you're starting this new enterprise and that you found each other because God only knows what you could accomplish and who knows what the consequence of actually producing some things that are genuinely funny might be again. It's not like there's not a market for it.

I mean, Rogan's Comedy Club in Austin is just thriving and he's fostering a whole new generation of comedians who will say anything as long as it's funny. You know, and they don't allow cell phones in the crowd. You can't record any of it.
