Yeah.

You've got to give respect to Tom Cruise, though, because Tom Cruise is like 60 years old, and he still does his own stunts, including jumping a motorcycle off a cliff.

I think there's another factor

And the other factor is I think because of the nature of commuting and public transportation and of going to work all day and then being under someone else's control most of the day and then commuting home, I think we're conversation starved.

I think the way human beings figure out what's the best way to behave and what's the nicest way that we can all get along, what makes the most sense, is when we talk the most.

And most of the day, you can't really talk.

Most of the day, you can't sit down for a couple hours like this.

and just say, why do we behave this way?

Why is there this weird pattern that is so strong?

It's such a tightly cut groove that cutting your balls off and wearing purple sneakers becomes appealing.

It seems to be there's a pathway for this.

We're very lucky we get to talk.

Yeah.

But most people don't get to talk like this.

They don't have the time.

Absolutely.

Like if you're a used car salesman and you talk to people, you're bullshitting people all day long.

When do you ever turn the bullshit off?

Do you know how to anymore?

You probably become a used car salesman forever.
