I fly so close to the sun, you can't see through these wings. You can't see me. She says, what do you know? And he says, I know a woman can burn a man down. A man can't burn a woman down.
Yeah. That's powerful. And he says, I can burn a woman down. But he can't because he's a bird. But a man can't burn a woman down. And I asked my friend.
a great friend and academic, Bob Chambers. I remember I said, man, let's talk about that. Does that mean heartbreak? Bob, much smarter guy than me, not very vociferous, but he says, no, Peter, that's not heartbreak, man. Everybody goes through heartbreak. That goes back to legend. That goes back to the Greeks. Oh, yeah. That goes back to why women stop war.
That goes back to why, as John Fowle said in the magazine, women see enough sons and husbands die, they stop it. Because they know that the only reason why men create war is to stop women from laughing at us. So I asked my mother that, I asked my wife that. Somewhere, are you giggling when you see the hot guy? In the back of your jam, are you laughing? And Cher goes, yeah, of course.
You know, it's ridiculous. Love the posing. Love the abs. Love the butt. But come on. The whole thing? Stupid. Do you agree with that? I go, yeah. That's my mother, that. I said, mother, you used to look at those guys on the Maltese Coast, those boat guys with the hunches. Yeah, baby. I said, don't you find that, do you find that, like what Tennessee's saying, somewhere that's all like,
It's like lightweight. She goes, yeah. It's all posing.
It doesn't do our thing. Yeah. And I'm thinking, okay, wow. To stop women from laughing at us. And my friend Bobby says, Peter, the original piece of oral tradition literature in the world is the Iliad.
What's going on there, man? Why are these guys killing each other for 10 years? Over a chick.
Yeah, and three chicks flying around. Oh, there's an idiot. Let's get him, the shepherd boy, to say which one of us is the coolest. And he doesn't know his ass from his elbow. Right. I'll give you the most money. I'll give you the most land power. I'll give you the hottest babe. Oh, you're the best.
And you don't think that's about a woman burning a man down? Holy cow. And I'll tell you, nights ago, I'm in a diatribe with a lawyer about something. He's a lawyer for 20th century. His wife is astute feminist. And I'm talking about this thing, and I got to go up and preach this stuff about history for weirdos. Like the history is that women can burn men down.
And by the way, the Western world will tell you. And by the way, there's a ton of myths in... In Asian history, they tell you the same thing. You know, that Mother Earth will fly out of the sky and burn your ass, in spite of how powerful you think your biceps are. Right. And I hear her say to him, she says, yeah, but men go and get guns and kill us.
And the husband said, honey, what do you think makes them go get the guns? They're burned down. Mm-hmm. They got no other recourse except war. They have no leverage.
What else could they do to get power? Yeah, they have no leverage for dialogue. They're done. And I'm thinking, if I remember that, I could sidestep a whole lot of marriage shit. And indeed I have.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I go like, okay, you know what? That's one of the things I learned. I'm going to win about 12% of this, and that's not one I'm going to win. The color of the kid's bedroom, I'm not going to win that one. No, I'm not going to win that one, no. What this, where this piece, I'm not going to, no.
Yeah. I love that. Whether we have a car on the, yeah. You got to pick your battles, man. And most of them, men got to go. Absolutely.
That's what I told him that he had to learn how to say. So speaking of history for weirdos, why is it that you've got to be a weirdo to accept that fact that women own the dynamic?
Guys don't want to admit that.
Yeah. Okay, so there's this TV show on that I am loathe to watch. Adolescence.
Oh, I've heard about it. I haven't watched it. Well, the bill in front of the English Parliament that everybody's got to watch it.
Oh. And the woman spoke out, and the head of the parliament, head of parliament two days ago, three days ago, said, absolutely. I think we ought to have a bill that everybody watches. We should watch it. So it's a four-parter. The four-parter, each one is a one-er, produced by the same guy who stars in it, and it's about a 13-year-old off the internet, kills a girl.
