it's keep them fighting with each other because otherwise they'll fight us.

Next question.

Do you think in your lifetime we will see a fairer economic system? I kind of think we might because demographically, these kids have a different sense of economics and the system and what's fair and what's not.

And they're getting less and less for buying into it.

So how can you convince them to stay in it?

And then you see the Beatles later and you're like, why do I have to look at these lawyers sing about duckies? What is this?

Here's the thing.

It's a good diss.

So like

when, what's her name? Christophe famously, Christophe is a French artist who would cover things.

And so he wrapped one of the more famous concentration camps in fabric, just covered the whole building.

I'm talking enough fabric to cover like a mall.

There should be classes that are just like real or fake, real or fake.

The smartest thing I remember someone saying to me in college was what you learn here at this college is how to learn.

That's what I think.

Because now, especially with the amount of things you can do without, not the way we used to have to do them, it does beg the question, why are we teaching them this stuff at all? Does it really matter?

I

think I learned what narcissism was at a very young age.

And I think I have narcissistic personality disorder that I've basically treated.

Because there are sometimes, I'll make it very simple.

Sometimes when I'm making a painting, I think I may be the greatest artist to ever walk the planet.

And then 10 minutes later, I want to set it on fire because I am absolutely worthless.

But that's why you're

We were wrong.

But it is

also my fault.

It is also, I mean, if we're talking side of the street, not clean, I told people this was okay.

And I told them over and over with my behavior and my words that that was an okay way to treat me.

that I was so willing to do all these things.

You answered.

Yes.

It

Well-

I think sometimes mathematic equations equaling truth, 'cause I've recently learned that most of the universe is made of dark energy, and they don't know what it actually is.

Who cares?" And on the other end, sometimes I do share something, and people are like, "You affected the election with your tweet." I'm like, "I don't think I'm that powerful."

I think the truth is saying anything online...

First of all, an- to anyone out there, as a person that's old and has watched the whole thing happen in real time, there is no win.

So don't hope to win or lo- you will both.

And- I don't, uh, want to be looked at as a victim in any capacity, and I don't wanna think of myself that way 'cause I feel like that's gonna keep perpetuating

Yeah.

That's why, like, when, you know, you said this to me once when, when we would, like, work on jokes.

You're like, you...

[laughs]

I, I used to buy containers of frosting and just eat it with a spoon.

This is a true story.

Uh, the lead singer of V6, Max Collins, I went to his house once and I walked in eating frosting.

And his mom, I was like 18, and his mom goes, "Kevin, are you eating our frosting?" And I go, "No, I brought this." And she goes, "Hold on, I'm gonna get the camera." [laughs] And I have, there's a picture.

I have it.

There's a picture of me eating frosting in their kitchen.

It, it's like...

Yeah

... it's has some, he believes it has something to do with not necessarily being that good at real life to where you're like, "I know when I go to this place, I'll know exactly what to talk to everyone about."

I like something that's just like, um, I like it for the people that do it.

I often see things I like doing a pop-up.

It's just because it's a pop-up, it's so overwhelmingly crowded.

You're like, you're, you're basically now are like one of those people in line at Supreme out the door.

You could walk around all day and be like, "Loser, loser."

The, the, the thing about the, the show business part of it, and in general, people think, um, failure here is contagious.

That is the thing that sucks.

If you're struggling, you do have to hide it because people, it-

Yeah.

Someone's career can be ruined.

It's like N- it's like, uh, Neil's Halloween joke.

Someone right now is about to ruin their life [laughs] and doesn't... [laughs] A celebrity right now is about to ruin their life and has no idea.

Halfway through the season

... yes, to m- be reintroduced, separated from their couples, and now introduced to a whole new set of girls, and they have to decide if they bring them back to the villa or-

[laughs]

I'm just saying, like, this is, I always say this is the Bible as that is to, like, a Mormon pamphlet.

Like, this is the Bible of love shows.

Like, don't feel sorry for you

...

I'm against it.

I have to do it sometimes for, like, a thing, right? But I'm a kind of against it because there's a part of me that thinks when you're trying to look younger, you're doing it to basically get sexual attention from younger women.

Hit me.

Name a person who isn't famous you think should be.

It can be a comic you think is not, is unappreciated, but just someone you think is like, "That is the dope.

They are so dope.

[laughs]

In this week's episode, we see if we can get this mongoose on peptides and Red Bull to take a deep breath.

Deep Breaths is made possible by generous donations from the Keck Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-

I loved comedy.

There are some incredibly heartwarming things that happen within the confines of sports.

Like, I'd see that kinda stuff on TikTok where, like, the, the, at the last game of the season, I don't know if this is in high school, but l- in basketball a lotta times, high school b- basketball, the, like, uh, a team manager kid-

It was more I don't want any of the women in the audience to think I'm trying to like flirt with their man.

That's a very, I think that's v- just a, also a very stand-up thing.

There's a really delicate balance between I wanna look like I care that I'm up here, but I also don't wanna look I, like I think I'm a star.

'Cause we're not supposed to be star stars.

We're the, we're the working class out, slightly outside of stan- uh, of, of, um, real show business people.

So soapbox cars?

It was, it was people that made their own, like, pedal-powered floats that they then designed.

There was dragons.

Right

... at the same time.

I wanna like ...

Look, I grew up wanting to ...

I think everyone wants to be cool.

Everyone wants to look cool.

Everyone wants to be looked at and have someone go, "That person's cool." So, like, I've always cared about style and how things look, and it's ...

Yeah.
