But, dude, they got up there, and then somebody hit a wrong button. I guess this was the first one, the Apollo. Yeah. They hit a wrong button on the computer, and they went off course, and they self-corrected on a fucking onboard computer.

They just got to the moon. I don't think it was a V8 engine. I think it was an EcoBoost. And then now today, how is it that it still takes us this long to do the same thing that they did 50 years ago?

Dude, John Wayne looked a lot older than 72 by the end. That was a different time. Yeah. They didn't have no vitamins. They ate mayonnaise. I know. I know. They had no sunblock, no vegetables.

They say when, remember when Brando had the indigenous woman go up and accept his Oscar? And she wasn't really indigenous? Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, she was a con man. Apparently John Wayne went ahead. They had to physically restrain John Wayne. Oh, he went nutty.

Yeah, her sister ratted her out. I'm pretty sure it was her sister. Well, that's what's, I mean, talk about it. Did you find that story? Pre-internet, like the woman who was, ended up like being a leader for the NAACP and she wasn't black. Oh, Rachel Dolezal. She was Jewish.

Well, it was part of that wholeβ€”he went to the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, and his class at the Neighborhood Playhouse was James Dean, Paul Newman. What was Paul Newman's wife's name? She was a very famous actress as well. Yeah, I don't remember. There was this one group that started, and it was Stanislavski taught Meisner. Meisner started the Neighborhood Playhouse.

And that whole voice in acting that was based on listening and answering and being in the moment, and it was about finding emotional truth and coming from that rather than from the dialogue. You didn't study the dialogue and recite it. You found words. Where the emotional truth of where this character was, and then you just unleashed it, and you found the moment in that.

The Joe Rogan Experience

And that started this whole kind of like realistic acting.
