But all those kids are smarter.

Imagine they're dumb dads.

Do you know what I mean? Fixing plumbing all day and shit like that.

Coming home to this smart ass kid.

Right? Jim Shark, don't cancel me.

But think about it.

They're smarter because of it.

really can't come up with a good example or a good a good explanation for it i've got a guy coming on next year who's one of the premier researchers into cooking um so i'm gonna ask him and i'll find out like what it is that he's the premier one of them there's not many

Malthusian trap is when you have a growing population without resources that can support.

Yeah.

So they, they thought that we were going to run out of food and basically two bits of, um, technology happened at the same time.

So they figured out how to kind of, uh, GM wheaten grain, and they also found out how to do it with rice as well.

And they, they increased productivity by like four X in that time.

And basically we can sustain a huge number of people because they worked out basically there's not enough land to support four billion people.

And now we're eight billion and we're fine.

Lee Kuan Yew would be good.

Hmm.

Anyway, so he's got his ideas room, and then he's got his, um, he's got his management room.

Well, how, how do we make those roo- how do we make those ideas happen? How are we gonna make that stuff happen? And then he had another room for criticism.

And I think we should sort of think about the inner critic like that, the idea of going, if you're trying to do something creative, don't let the critic in too soon.

Wait until you've had the whole idea.

Wait until you've let the management get involved a little bit.

Wait until you've tried to write the whole joke and come at it from a few different angles and tried it twice before you critic, you criticize it.

It's gotta be-

What do you mean by that?

Well, listen, I know some billionaires that are pretty miserable, and I know some guys with, uh, boring office jobs that are very happy.

I think your disposition is-- it's very difficult to change, but it's often easier than changing the world.

You know, y-you are-- you're in your head on your own an awful lot of the time.

No matter how connected you are, no matter how great your family, you're, you, you are you.

And, you know, the acceptance of that and the way that you see the world, the rose-tinted glasses of looking at the world looking for jokes is pretty tremendous.

I think the thing that makes a difference to people on disposition is, um, i-in the most part, it's gratitude can kind of move the dial.

Mm-hmm.

What's happening in the UK at the moment? I've not been back for a while.

The UK is not, it's not in a great situation, and I mean, I, I think Andy Burnham's gonna take over and, uh, I wish him well, and I don't know what's gonna change.

I think it requires some sort of radical realism.

You know, if you were gonna fix the UK, what would you do? I think the fundamentals are it needs to be more competitive as a nation.

And what makes a nation competitive? Well, it- 2% on income tax either way or changing the stamp duty laws.

It, it, it's all kind of nothing.

Just, uh, rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Yes.

Mm.

And I think criticism's very important.

I mean, Walt Disney used to do this thing where he had like the, he had three rooms.

You know this thing? Of like one for creativity, uh, one for sort of, um, management, like how would you do the idea, and then it was only in the third room that you were allowed to be critical.

It's kind of fun idea of like going to sort of comp-

Yeah.

It's like lots of different...

You know, doing the same thing again and again doesn't make you better, but like tweaking it and knowing what to tweak is that, that's you have to listen to an inner critic.

What does that mean to you?

Well, I suppose it's that thing of like, it's incredible the things you won't do.

Like when you think about like the potential that we all have.

Like we've all-- We're all privileged in a sense, right? 'Cause we all get one life, and then we get given, you know, different gifts, right? So there's no, there can be no equality because we're all born different, right? So it's that thing of going, and it's not better, worse, i-it all the same.

It's just different.

Everyone's kinda different.

And I think that for me, that the, the idea of going, um, you can-- you can't have an easy life and a great character.

Mm-hmm.

A stainless steel shit jack.

That, that, that is a kind of poetry that Mark Twain could only dream of.

That, that's the set right there.

Fuck, thank you.

Oh, you bring it.

You bring it.

I, I love it on this show when someone's done the work.

Like the amount of work that went into that set, the amount of gags, 'cause you, you could have floated by on two of those, and there was four great jokes, like one after the other, perfect delivery.

Creo que la forma en

que se construyó fue increíble, la forma en que se involucró el público, la reunión de seres humanos, el campamento, la reset de la fábrica, mirar a las llamas... ¡Es increíble! Me sentí como si la sala fuera una sola.

Fue muy bueno tener 2000 personas en el mismo momento.

Fue muy especial.

Él te hace sentir como si lo conocieras.

Él rompe esa barrera de tú siendo el público

Fue bastante especial.

Fue un punto de reflexión.

[upbeat music]

[laughs] Chris Williamson live at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.

Is he mostly wise?

That was...

The thing is about the Australian accent, they always go up at the end of the sentence until they're finished talking, and then they go down.

You see what I mean? Mostly wise.

So it seems Slot does want that type of player.

Yeah, yeah.

But he, he sh- he suits that build, doesn't he? Garrett through the by look for too.

I'd, I'd like to go, I'd like to go and grab him because again, he's another Joe Gomez who looks like he could be on his way out as well after, what, 10 years at the club.

So you need someone who can kind of fill that role and improve everyone else sort of thing 'cause he hasn't got a bad injury record.

So it looks...

You need someone who can go in that six 100%.

Mm.

Mm.

Steven Gerrard is s- someone that I've almost like lobbied for a bit just to try and like field something this season, and yet I would still acknowledge it like he's not a clear upgrade on, on a slot.

So maybe there's just too many of those question marks around the people that it could be taking over, that you just kind of go, "We'll just stick...

Going into this final year, and it's make or break for him." I think that's the issue, though.

There's no right or wrong answer to, to what you do.

Like last season, nobody would have thought that we would be in the situation that we're talking about sacking the manager that we've got.

Do you know what I mean? And it's, I think you talk about the club as a whole and FSG and the people above, but I think the mentality is weak throughout the whole, the whole club.

Yeah, exactly, yeah.

fine yeah I like that because I think obviously people listening to this might not have that fear of being cancelled but they will definitely have the fear of being rejected by the people and I think the same applies if you're sure of who you are and you're sure of your character and your values that's the way to navigate it that's the way to get through it is that what's helped you

Yeah, I think if you have like a fairly good view of, you know, a solid basis that you're, you know, you've got to take care of yourself.

I mean, it's also that thing of often worry with the, I mean, there is kind of a mental health crisis going on.

There's a crisis with young men and you got how much is a software problem and how much is a hardware problem.

So if you think about like, if you have a friend that is depressed, feeling down, whatever's going on, how much sleep are they getting? Yeah.

How much exercise are they taking? What's their nutrition like? Are they drinking and drugging? And 90% of the time you go, I can see what this problem might be.

You're not sleeping.

I feel

Mm-hmm.

Like, lots of different...

Y- you know, doing the same thing again and again doesn't make you better, but, like, tweaking it and knowing what to tweak is that, that you have to listen to an inner critic.

I think the, the, um, uh, is it Hormozy? Uh, it- it's, uh...

Hormozy's so good for quotes.

But it's, I think it was, um, uh, "Self-confidence without evidence is delusion."

Which one is the best to be? The one that's still climbing."

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

It should be for the elites.

It should also be free.

If you're studying something that grows corn, that adds to our society, which is, let's g- call it STEM, right? If I was in...

put me in charge tomorrow, I'd go, "Right, go to university, study STEM, and it's free." That would strike me as a very positive thing.

You're dealing in the, the younger generation.

You're going, "Okay, well, look, you guys are academic.

Mm-hmm.

Jimmy Carr, what do you think about the-

I hope he, I just hope you do go back.

I hope you build a relationship and a life with this woman because one day in the future, I want this to be, "Grandma, Grandpa, how did you meet?"

Jimmy Carr.

Can I ask about when you were watching this couple, uh, making love across the street, was there any eye contact? At any point did you think, "They're gonna see me watching them"?

Yeah.

So you get that thing of like the good stuff is like you have to put the energy in.

Like why do people get drunk in like, like, like soldiers? Why do soldiers get drunk? Oh, well, it's a bonding experience, right? It's kind of obvious.

It's not.

It's the hangover.

The reason guys get absolutely blitzed before going into battle is not to get drunk together, not to be drunk.

It's not for the night out.

Yeah.

What's that mean to you?

Well, I suppose it's that thing of like, it's incredible the things you won't do.

But when you think about, like, the potential that we all have, like, we've all...

We're all privileged in a sense, right? 'Cause we all get one life, and then we get given, you know, different gifts, right? So there's no...

There can be no equality because we're all born different, right? So it's that thing of going...

And it's not better, worse, it...

All the same.

Did it teach you much about yourself?

He's playing it real cool.

[laughs]

Tell me everything.

[laughs] Woo!

Have there been any changes recently?

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

Yeah.

And really, you know, avoiding the war, I think is, I think is possible.

I think the most, uh, here's- here's the take, I think the most incredible piece of technology that we have, now I'm very optimistic about the world.

Like, you could look at the state of the world and go, "It's- it's terrible," but I look at like, I look at America, I look at the UK, and I look at the footfall.

So where do people wanna come? Well, they wanna come and they wanna live here, right? And what's the most important piece of technology in America? I would argue the Constitution.

Mm-hmm.

So, they watch a lot of comedy or they come to a lot of comedy shows 'cause it's kinda the opposite of what they're feeling.

And it's that thing of the, you, you kinda...
