Loneliness and Making Friends

So I am part of the living history.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Loneliness and Making Friends

And we had such a great discussion.

Loneliness and Making Friends

I have no doubt that within a half year, we're going to be friends.

The Last Show with David Cooper

It just went that way.

So before the break, you said this kind of what if catastrophic scenario.

And I said, well, then you're screwed.

Look, no risk, no reward.

Loneliness and Making Friends

When they give me the impossible question, as you just did, right, I come back with, well, then what's the worst that's going to happen?

The Last Show with David Cooper

They're going to laugh at me.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Loneliness and Making Friends

I pull on that thread, and if they laugh at you, what next?

The Last Show with David Cooper
Loneliness and Making Friends

And when you play the what's the worst that will truly happen game, you see that all these horrible thoughts are mostly in your head and not in reality.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Loneliness and Making Friends

And then I come back to no risk, no reward.

The Last Show with David Cooper
Loneliness and Making Friends

I said, look, you don't have to do a damn thing.
