Television can never be that way. I wouldn't even try to do it on my show. It's boring for the audience to go through all that. It just isn't. Believe me, if anyone knows, I think it's me. I try to make real time as real as you can in that setting. It's just not this. First of all, I'm not high. Believe me, I've talked to the boss about it. You've never been high on real time ever? No.

That would be a disaster. I mean, I have, you know, Senator Tester on Friday night. I'm not going to get high with him. A couple cocktails? No. No, I mean, John, I'm almost 70. You can't, like, drink. I mean, I'm drinking tonight. Okay. So already I'm full of shit. No, you just can't drink a lot. I save it like for this. I really enjoy, I do enjoy drinking, but you know, you just can't.

Yes, oh, absolutely. I mean, look, the history of drugs of all kinds, improving art, that's why they do it. That's what LSD was for. It was a mind-expanding drug. Yeah, I mean, if I hadn't... been lucky enough to get a message that resonated with me when I was 20 and starting to smoke, it would have been, hey, kid, cigarettes, they don't get you anything. They don't make you smarter.

But iPod, yes. I mean, LSD, my record collection would be very different without it. Even heroin, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't recommend it. But there would be Miles Davis cigarettes. Not without it. Yeah. Music is, why is music so good when you're high? Because it was made when they were high. No, no, it's just, it works both ways. You know, it's just, we like drugs for a reason.

They work, okay? It's just that there's a downside. And it's very hard to convince people when you're in your 20s, when your body is so strong that you can come back from anything. It's just hard to convince you that, oh, you know what? Think about when you're... Yeah, I'll never be that. And now I am that. And I wish I had thought about it then. But, you know, that's youth versus age.
