Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to The Man Thinkers podcast, a show that
forges a new roadmap for the modern man on how
to best live life on George Collins, a former liberal couple,
and I'm Dan Finkelstein, a staunch libertarian insect. We think,
so you don't have to Dan, I don't know if
you saw there was this package at the studio and
it was it was addressed to the just the man Thinkers.
(00:25):
Maybe a gift from a listener, could it could be?
It was It was like a like a blow up doll,
like a sex doll or something. I thought, I don't
know if that was yours, like a sex toy thing.
I don't know. Did you wear that? Yeah? I think
some people. I didn't. I don't know. I think some
people are ordering some stuff to the office, like for
work stuff. Where was that? It was sent to the
studio and you opened it. It was addressed illegal. No,
(00:47):
it's dressed to the Man Thinkers. It didn't specify you
or me, and so I thought maybe it was for
me and I opened it even something sex Thinkers. I
don't know whose it is. It it's not mine. I
just have to confirm something with it. But I do
think if something says the man thinkers, we both have
to be present to open it. So like what you
did is sort of I don't think it's true shady,
(01:08):
I would just I mean, it's certainly not. Yeah, I
just I was a big package. This thing. By the way,
this doll is like life size really, Oh yeah, it's
like it seems like it's full human it's yes, But
if you say you said it because you said doll
the way you said it before, it doll implies like
a toy. Though, like the way you said it before,
I felt the size of it. You've felt the size
(01:29):
of it because you were like doll, and I was like, oh,
life size doll. And that doesn't make sense to me
at all. But well, because like I'm good at hearing,
you know, words aren't just the only language. There's body language.
And that's your problem. I think, can we just I
just want to let's get the fact I have the package. Okay,
do you want it? It's yours? I did not order it.
I didn't either, Okay, so then I'll just hold on
(01:50):
to it then, and where do you keep stuff? I'm
just curious, this is your sex way? You want to
funk this doll. Just say it. It's there as a
sex object for a man who doesn't have X like you. Um,
I don't know, man, that's that's like, Hey, that's your
tape you got, that's your take on criticism. This is
why we do the show. You have a take, I
have a take, and a lot of times we don't agree,
and right now we do not agree. I just think
(02:12):
it's the into that. Well, Okay, if you're going to
order sex toys like this, Dan, can you just use
your own name and not using man thinkers because I
don't want to be implicated, like I don't know where
this came from. What are you talking about. I'm just saying,
like I I relate to whoever ordered it. I understand
why they would want to be like a little bit
ordered clandestine about it. You ordered, I did not. I'm
just saying I agree with this, like a fan ordered
it for you. I don't know who ordered what. I
(02:33):
don't even know what we're talking about anymore. We're talking
about the sex doll that you ordered off the internet.
Order stuff to offices all the time. There's like tea
in the kitchen, Yeah, that comes in a box. That's
for the break room, dude, so tiny? So what now
we're gonna like what you want? You want to you
want to do? You want to sex doll in the
break room? Green tea? What are you talking about? Green tea? For?
What are you even babbling about right now? Who's ordering
(02:56):
the teas? That's that's the question for me. Why does
that matter? They're trying to just track. You can't understand it.
That's the ultimate that you can't understand. What does that
even mean? That's the ultimate? All right, let's we gotta go,
We gotta come on. We got a great, a big show, guys,
this is it. Why are you starting off on such
a bad foot when we're gonna what's the biggest day
of our lives? Or you're nervous because we've got a
(03:16):
great show? Is that? This is the show? This is
the one. Papa King Elon Musk is here today on
the Man. Thinkers, We told you it was going to happen.
This is the South African sensation is here. The Man.
The Man, May I say, best looking person ever to live?
Not only that, I mean clearly the smartest smart on
(03:37):
planet Earth right now, just richest by far. Although I
don't know Tesla Tesla Stock really took a nose diving,
but he has held at the top. Listen, guys, Elon
Musk is here. He's going to talk to us. Well,
he's not here currently, but he's coming. He's going to
zoom in. It's going to be a live interview. He
doesn't it's you know, he was gonna be live in
(03:59):
the studio. That's what I thought originally to Actually he
might be in the Clay, Clay, he's shaking his head.
Clay doesn't he doesn't know, He doesn't even. But I think, yeah,
he's shaking his head that he doesn't know, not that
it's unknown. Can't we fire him? I've been wanting to
fire him for a long time. I don't want it.
We need to fire someone, just you know. She's still
some fear. Yeah, I'm just feeling pumped, you know, right now.
(04:19):
I'll do it right now. I'll fire Clay right now.
Do it. Let's just do it, all right, Hey, Clay, Clay, Um,
are my levels good? Are we good? Are we good
to record? Let's do it later. I just don't want
to think. I think it would kind of messing with
the flow of the episode. Like emails. Yeah, I think
so we'll just have someone else. Maybe one of the
producers can do Maybe we can get Jenna that she
could do it. She should have to prove, she should
(04:39):
have to prove worth for worth us us by firing
others others. But thinkers, let that be a lesson for you.
You want to do something, pull yourself up by your bootstraps,
use the money that your parents gave you, and make
it the best freaking electric car company in the world. Guys,
dreams come true, Okay, and Elon's dreams came true, our
(05:00):
dreams that were now coming true by having Elon Musk
as a guest today on man Thinkers, we put it
out into the universe, and not to get culty. But
this is what manifestation is. You think it and you
create it. Okay, So gang, if you want to meet
Elon Musk or there maybe there's someone in your life
that you think is amazing on like a little corkboards,
put it on a corkboard. I got a big picture
if Elon shirtless on my corkboard over the head of
(05:23):
my bed. I don't believe in that, but I do
have the same thing. You have to. You do have to.
I don't believe in that stuff. It's a little too
woo woo for me, but for Elon. I do have
a shless picture. Well, um, you know, I gotta admit
I didn't even we don't even have a big question
today because we thought it was just it's just gonna
be all him. Yeah, um, but we do, uh we do.
(05:46):
Maybe we'll just kill like a couple of minutes he
was here. He was supposed to be here by now right, Yes, okay,
I would. I'm gonna say this is our fault because
we started because we're really excited. Yeah, we probably should
have waited for him to come in before we started,
but I wanted to I know, I don't want to
level to make sure that his mic was clean, and
once the mics in front of my face, I have
to talk like I have to just go. I can't
(06:07):
do you know what I mean, I can't start and stop.
Do you have like what is that? What are those papers?
It looks like it's like some kind of business proposal
or something. Are you going to give a business? What
are you trying to propose a business too? I have
some entrepreneurial ideas that I think Ellen would be interested
in this that's just me and him though you're not
involved in that. There's gonna be private time for both
of us. I was going to do it on air,
really yeah, but you just shut up and I would
talk to him and you stay quiet. Fine, that's fine.
(06:28):
I don't think that will work out for you. But
I'm just because he's probably not going to care about
like whatever, you're insane? Bad picture this picture this? Okay?
So you know how like all photos are digital now,
so what if there's a picture frame but you put
in your house physical frame but the frame just cycles
through photos. I think they've had that for like fifteen years. Really? Why? How?
How that? When did the tech? I thought Ellen would
create the tech if it was like slides. I don't
(06:52):
think understand No, don't think you're understand what I'm saying
the slide show but in a frame. I know what
you're saying. Why do you think that that clarifies it?
Never popular product? Really think they have it at like
Marshall's buy It for Anyone? Yes, and Grandma's and Grandpa's
love them. Well, that shows you that's a good idea
because if Marshall's has it, well, once you're done embarrassing yourself.
Then then I kind of want to talk Then I
kind of want to talk to him. What do you
(07:12):
want to talk to him about? You're trying to just
you and him? Yes, I would have a little alone time.
I think it's very normal. First of all, in the show,
are you picturing like you and him going to a
separate room and just be alone together. That's not gonna.
I set up well, I set up the outside. I
set up a couple of blankets for us to sit
on for some snack because I'm gonna talk to him
some snacks because he gets hungry. Hey man, he's rich,
he gets hungry. Is that I got fruit roll ups
(07:34):
in case? Because look, some rich people they love they
get off on eating, like you know, a trashy trash
right there, Like I could afford anything, but I eat,
But I like the cane. I would respect that about him.
I also got some caviarcs. I think that's another thing
that billionaires like. So you're gonna feed him fruit by
the foot and caviar. I'm feeding him anything unless he
asked me to, then I say, yes, sir, may I
please have another You're not even in this conversation with
(07:55):
menilon minion or in a separate room. First your home,
crying or whatever you do at home. I cry in
the morning, you know, never go home. You barely have
a home to go home to. That's not true. I
have multiple domiciles where I am welcomed by the community.
So yes, I don't have a home. I have many homes.
I have many communities which want but they're always ousting you. Well,
that's barely ever welcome. It's like, oh, I can't go
(08:17):
to this one because it's political. It's all political. Okay, culture,
very political. I'm not going to call them cults. It's
crazy that you even call them cults. I call them.
It's it's a practical thing because if I say cult,
you know what I mean, but it's not a call.
If I call it a spiritual community, then you're like, wait,
what's that? What's just a cult? I got it? Um,
Well is he still not? So you have his number?
(08:37):
You have his personal number. This is what I have, it,
says Elon Musk. Okay, thank you for calling up. If
you know your party's extension, Press nine, probably just want one,
all right, man, Well, let's cut to that. Let's just
cut to that. Interview that could be really good. Just
what doctor I don't know. All right, guys, out this
interview with this doctor woman. She's really interesting. We did
(08:58):
this a while ago. We weren't going to air it,
but um, I think it's good. I think you guys
would like it. It's good. It's gonna take up some time.
It's gonna get you guys excited for Ellen when we
come back. Musk in the house. Enjoy this quick interview,
and then you come right for a monster and there
might be more ads in between. I don't know. Here
(09:23):
at Man Thinkers, we're always looking for ways to optimize
our bodies and our minds. So today we're speaking with
Dr Gina Parrish, or neuroscientists at Caltech, who claims her
newest studies have unlocked the key to happiness. Dr Paris,
thank you so much for being on the show. Thank
you so much for having me. It feels like every
day some liberal celebrity has given their advice on how
to achieve happiness and Paltrow or the word I mean,
(09:46):
you know, but your methods are actually backed up by facts,
is that right? That's right. I have done countless studies
with a number of subjects ranging in age, ethnicity, and
personality type, and we were able to find one unifying
method for being unequivocally happy. That's so exciting. I mean,
what is it. I feel like it's probably what more
exercise or sex or something. Seems like it's always sex,
(10:06):
you know, That's what a lot of researchers would have
you think. But if you look at the data sets,
you'll find people aren't nearly as happy during sex as
they are when they are on drugs. Okay, that's interesting. Okay,
so drugs make people feel really good. So what are
some methods people can use to make them feel as
if they are on drugs. Nope, what I'm saying is,
(10:27):
in order to be happy, you should be on drugs,
hard drugs perfectly if you have them. Okay, wow, what
a breakthrough. Sorry, just to clarify, we're talking about like
zoloft or something that can really help people who you
know are suffering from depression or anxiety. Is that what
we're talking about? I mean, those are fine, but that's
not what I'm talking about. I mean like hard street drugs. Really. Yeah,
(10:48):
I'm surprised. The harder the better I'm talking. We'd coke
even crack holework in a pin shreams M d M,
A acid, d MT and epidural. If that was hardcore.
It's hard to get. But if you can get one,
I really recommend it. You know, I've heard people who
get epidurals just have a glow about them in the
days afterwards. Well, it might have something to do with
giving birth to a child, don't you think. I don't know.
(11:10):
I feel like it's the drugs they have. You think, hey,
you can only have this when you're giving birth, But hey,
I would like to give birth to some ideas when
I'm at work, putting on my back, turn around, shoot
me up in my back. I hadn't really considered that.
But doesn't true happiness come from within. Happiness can come
within if the drugs are within yourself, like inside of
your body. That's an excellent answer, because she just took
(11:32):
what you were trying to do, Nan, and she flipped
it on its head. You know what I mean. I'm
just asking, No, you're trying to disprove Dr Parrish Heer,
and she's been nice enough to come on the show
and enlighten us on how to be high, stay high,
and therefore be happy. Then you gotta lighten up, Boddy.
But just I'm just I'm just pushing back asking some questions.
These are normal, this is a normal process for the interview.
See how like uptight? This guy actually fell asleep for
(11:53):
a couple of seconds. But I am back boring. He's
a bore doctor. Are you on drugs right now? I
am we which ones? If? If you don't, I'm asking.
I made myself a cocktail of xan X and M
D M A and right before getting out of the car.
You're gonna love this, I had a big old ball
ram baby. Yeah. I just opened the door and moved
my legs over. Just put the ball right there. And
it's from the ground up. Yeah, it's like a two
(12:15):
three fat. Oh my god, I've got it. It's a hybrid. Wow.
And you feel good. I feel fucking amazing. Let's think
about it. When have you felt the happiest? Well, I mean,
for me, probably when I was on mushrooms and Joshua Tree.
I cried laughing while looking at a rock. It was crazy.
That is crazy. You can never laugh at a rock
(12:35):
while you were sober. Rocks aren't funny at all. When
I'm sober, they're just rocks when you're sober. They're not
stand up comedian exactly. Some shrooms in you, they're hilarious,
like Joe Rogan, just like the funniest guys that have
ever lived. Absolutely, So okay, how could I tap into
that feeling again? Do mushrooms again? I see do them
all the time, right, So if I keep doing them,
(12:57):
I'll keep feeling happy. And if you want to feel
even better or next time, do more, like a higher dose,
that makes sense because your body would kind of gain
some sort of tolerance, right if you were doing at
that moment. It's kind of like when you're a twenty
four hour fitness you're doing the reps, you're doing ten
of them, next time you do twelve. I love. Yeah,
it's the greatest, the greatest, because you know, sometimes I'm
high off my mind at four am, and I said,
what do you want to do? It not work out?
(13:18):
And I can go to twenty four hour, but the
other places are closed, you know, so you're just working
out at four am on Oh yeah, when I'm on
a bender. That's one of my things. Oh yeah, The
happiest people are at twenty four fitness at four am
because they're all on drugs. Really, that place is crawling
with happy people at four am on a weekday. Have
you ever seen those guys chuck those protein shakes. I've
never seen a happier person. Boys smiles from ear to
(13:42):
ear as they pound that protet powder in their nose.
They've got powder in their belly. It seems dangerous, doesn't it.
A life of danger is a life well lived. What's
the most dangerous situation you've been in your life? Now?
Probably walking when it says don't walk? Jesus Christ, do
some drugs you square? No? Thank you, Dr Parris. I
mean I assume you have drugs on you. Maybe we
could smoke something or put some in our bodies right now? Yeah,
I would love that. Okay, cool? So interesting. Kind of
(14:04):
a big box that you got there? Big? It's an
old Amazon box. This is what you call a stash dash.
That's just what like a box of drugs? Is that adderall?
Can I crush that up? Yeah? Here's a little bit
of batall. I also have that epidural in there. It's
just like smokes. Oh man, Yeah whoa that just hits
(14:27):
like right straight to the brain. You know what I mean?
This is really good stuff, Dan, And to be honest,
I'm really feeling for you, but I was a little
bit upset at you earlier and like that's probably on me.
But when I think about it now, I'm just kind
of like, Dann, you need to loosen up. This is
because of all your problems. You don't mean, like Jesus Christ,
get off the freaking apps, get into the streets, start
doing some drugs, and just start talking to women aggressively. Hello,
I'm Dan, I'm available. You know what I mean. They're
gonna love that. You're hurt. Sorry my back. Well, Dr Parris,
(14:50):
thank you so much. I didn't really agree with everything
that we talked about, but it was certainly an interesting conversation.
I hope bart thinkers got a lot out of it.
Do you want to out of the bathroom and we can?
I got some we can treat, of course, I would
love that. What a great interview, Guys. She was great.
I like having her. Her and I really hit it off.
I don't know if you could tell, but I think
(15:11):
she really liked me and I really liked her. She's
a new friend, and I'm gonna invite her into one
of my communities. Well, good for you. So we were
hoping Ellen would be here by the time that interview ended. Yes,
but a gang Ellen is on his way. He's still
we haven't heard definitively that it's a no yet. We
don't know. So what we're doing now is we're slowing down.
Are talking. That's right, not to take up more of
(15:34):
your time. No, no no, no, no, we want to get
in the right headspace. Headspace. But the fridge went on.
Let's get that. We're just thinking about sounds right now, guys, soundscapes.
You know, a fridge sound is an excellent sound, and
it's a sound that goes unappreciated. Can I just be
honest about that? And I think Ellen is gonna appreciate
that because fridges are essentially computers or robots. They were
the original robot was a fridgerat. And so you're like, Ellen,
(15:54):
don't you love the humming of a fridge because it's
he and he'll know what we're doing, you know, Because
I was also thinking, as one of the entrepreneurial ideas
I was going to pitch him is let's make a
fridge to disrupt the refrigerator industry. Definitely like a little
smaller and doesn't it takes up less room totally, and
it gets shipped to you. Yes, and then you could
put it in like a like a small fridge, that
would be that. That's another original idea I have that.
(16:17):
I think you're just sorry. You're just saying a small
fridge like like yeah, like a like a fifth of
the size of a normal fridge, doesn't even have a freezer.
It's but it's time they've had that since it seems
like refrigerators started that many many fridges him in every
hotel room. Well know those are hotel fridges. I'm talking
about a small fridge. That is what that is. They
didn't originate as hotel fridge. I think what they pride
(16:38):
that you're picturing the product in a hotel would be
in your home. And what your problem is is you
think that that's different. Don't bring this up to you
on why because he'll think you're crazy. No, he won't.
He You know what, bring it up first thing, Bring
it up, and then as soon as whatever he says,
I'm pretty sure I know what he's gonna say. He
and I are going to go off, so I could
pitch him my idea, but we're gonna have some fruit
by the foot in some gaviar. I will agree to that.
(17:00):
Only if you agree to this, you do not get
to ask him when space. That is my question, and
that is my question alone. I will agree to that
if you agree to this. When he comes in, I'm first,
what does that mean? Handshake? I get the first shake? Okay,
I will agree to that if you agree to this.
At the end of the interview, when he leaves, you shake,
I hug. I will agree to that. If you agree
(17:20):
to this, you hug him. That is your final goodbye
to Mr Musk. Meanwhile, I walk him to his car
so I can follow up on the pitch, all right,
and I'm allowed to get in the car if he's
going somewhere else, No, I would only agree to that
if you agree to this, which is after he drives
you to where he's going. That's it. You have to
uber back to the studio and you can never see
(17:42):
him again. Meanwhile, I will meet him at his house
later that night, and I get to kiss him goodnight
or he kisses me good night on the cheek. I'll
agree to that for now. If you agree to what,
you give me his address, because it sounds like you
have it right, and I go there before tonight to
warn him that is a crazy man coming. And whatever
he decides to do to that crazy man who's gonna
(18:04):
like tuck him in or kiss him that night, that counts.
Like he's allowed to do whatever he's going to do,
and you can't press charges. That counts. You have to
make it clear to him that that counts. Whatever he
decides to do, that counts, and you can't press charges
to whatever that is that he has to do. Thus,
should I ever see him again and you're not in
this world, it's allowed. Okay. I like that that counts,
(18:25):
and so I'm going to work with you here because
that does as long as you can make that counts.
But when you say because I am not in this world,
the subtext of that to me is the implication that
I have been killed. I don't even know that. Sometimes, Dan,
I'm not gonna let you treat me to agreeing to
my own death. All I want to do is make
sure both Okay, let's review. So you first hand shake,
(18:47):
that's you me. When he leaves, I get the hug.
You only handshake, right, I'm going down to the car
with You're walking to him to the car and you're
in the car. Well, you're gonna let him drive you
to wherever he's going, but then you have to back
right back. I know. I agree, I'm right back here
to the studio and right yes, I meet at his
house later tonight, where whatever happens, and it counts. Whatever happens,
(19:07):
and it counts, and it counts. Tuck him in, he
tucks me in. Maybe there's a kiss on the cheek
and it counts. Okay, whatever he does that night counts counts.
Thank you for calling, Tesla. Your call is very important
to us. Whatever. Um, God, this is a good song.
Do we have any other content? I'm feeling what if
we are? We could cut to that, but at the
(19:28):
beginning of the show we said it's all along. Well,
that's okay, we're improvising bankers. Thanks for thinking with us.
We get this question a lot. Who's smarter Dan or George.
We've been trying to determine that for a long time.
I think pretty obvious. Well, and so do I, um,
and so do a lot of people. A lot of
people that message me and don't message you because they
wouldn't want to because message well, it doesn't matter. Yes,
(19:51):
I do have your passwords. Anyway, we are having what
is known as the smart off, and in the smart off,
we are going to determine who is smarter, Danner, George,
and then you, the thinkers and listeners at home, will
know who to listen to when we debate. Currently, we
are tied. The needle hasn't moved. Today we will determine
who is smarter by asking each other a trivia question,
(20:13):
and whoever answers it correctly, we'll take the lead. George,
why don't you hit me with a question today? I'm
ready to go. I was just a reading a big book,
so I've got a lot of new information in my brain.
This one's I like this question because it's nice and clean. Okay,
here we go. How many planets are there in our
Solar system? Okay, well that's not a fair question. Why
because the number has changed. They've changed. They didn't even
(20:36):
know there were other planets for a while. Now we know, yeah,
but then they changed it again. They were like, yeah,
this one's not a planet, and they like maybe there's
like a big there's full telescope. There's that new telescope
that James Webb telescope to beautiful pictures. Whatever, but okay,
I thought they were absolutely beautiful. And again, then you
know who's smarter, because someone who could appreciate beauty or
(20:57):
someone who's easily entertained is clearly stupid. How do you
entertain to put some cartoons on damn watches? Tons of cartoons? Anyway,
I'm not gonna honor that question with an answers, just
an honorable question. It's not a number, it's just that
we don't know. You can just choose any number, say
any number. No, it doesn't count. This question doesn't count.
I will say a number, but that the answer doesn't count.
To pass, you want to do it together. So we
(21:18):
know there's Earth that's one, okay, not name another planet.
You're again you're trying to set me up. I'm trying
to help. Okay, Venus Great swore at two. Okay, so
that's incorrect. Eight, that's not but again said no, you
said too. I thought we were just counting the planets
that we just had. You said, okay to period too.
That implies your answer you Okay, that's also wrong. But
(21:40):
I'm just saying that's three planets. I'm not saying that's
my final answer. I already passed. I already passed. It's
over it's over all right. Well that's a wrong answer.
So we're just gonna go ahead of the docks. You
we're gonna dock. See a point, No one's getting docks.
If anyone's getting docs, it's you because I got your passwords.
That was a layup for you. Damn. Oh yeah, you're
trying to take a layoup. Yeah, I make them all
the time. You can. You can't play sports for ship,
all right? Or let's go. The score right now is
(22:03):
tied zero zero or maybe passes? Two passes, no more
passes by the way, already used. Your pass used had
one today? But why do you get one and I
don't get one? I don't know, man, you have to
keep track of your pass You don't know. Of course
you don't know, because you're not smart. You don't even
know how passive smartest smart? You can leaven listening to
this guy, No hit me, let's go. I'm ready. D
(22:24):
hydrogen monoxide not a word, is a chemical name for
what substance de hydrogen monoxide or die hydrogen monoxide. Well,
which one is it? Because there's a different answer, And
this is what this is the problem with this game.
Dan is that you're not smart enough to play it.
You can't even pronounce your own questions. You're trying to
throw me for a little questions. I'm looking at questions
(22:46):
from a game. Are you serious? I know the questions
from my own mind. You just proved that you were worthless.
So what you know? Questions? I know I could ask
many questions as I want. You're terrible questions just to
be a question right now? Go ahead? Who are you? No,
that's not a question. You know who I am. You
know the answer. If you know the answer, it's not
a quest George. That's a point for me. No, it's
(23:06):
not who are you your George? Point for me. The
point is if you ask a question answer you don't
have any points. Are you gonna answer the question? Say
it again? The hydrogen monoxide is a chemical name for
what substance? Thinkers, I want to just point this out.
Words like substance are so vague. Define substance is substance? Liquid?
(23:26):
Is it gas? It could be anything? Is it doesn't matter,
it doesn't there it absolutely I'll tell you what the
substances you're gonna answer it? No, I won't say I'll
tell you what kind of matter. Is that what you're asking?
What is the substance? It is a liquid. I'm giving
you a hint. Well, thanks for establishing that, okay and
doing the question clear. Ask it one more time with this?
Would this change? The hydrogen? Monoxide is a chemical name
(23:51):
for what liquid? Again, guys, I just want to point
out chemical, a chemical name. What's your chemical name? Dan?
What is going on? Just answer question? No, I'm I
I resent the question because it is not a I passed,
and I think I should even get a point for
this past because I was able to to the point.
We're getting a point. You passed like a baby. I
passed through logic. You are you could have a point.
(24:13):
I get a point and then it would be one one. Okay, fine, fine,
all right, we're tied. Water break, No, it's water. The
answers water, hydrogen and what I didn't know that. I
just didn't hydrogen and oxygen. It was a gimme. But
you said to hydrogen. That's not what is the hydrogen.
It's to hydrogen. And I'm fine that it's tied right now.
One to one. Okay, another great round of trivia, really
(24:35):
solid round. I mean, we are just murdered. Really good stuff.
It's tied right now. So hey, you know what, listeners, Sorry,
it's going to take another week of doing the smart Off,
but thanks for listening, and thanks for sticking with us
as a really intense competition. And also, listeners, if you
have some smart Off questions, if you have any smart
Ask questions you want to ask us, you're ready to
(24:56):
answer them. All right, thanks for listening. Guys, keep thinking,
I'm getting a little worried at this point about what
He's not here and we haven't broken through. What's it been.
It's only been like, oh my god. But isn't that normal?
More power you have the later you are. I wouldn't
expect him to be here till you know tonight. Hey, Clay,
can you can you see if Ellen could do a
(25:18):
zoom chat? Well that's what we'll I mean, yeah, I'll
ask him that once I want At gmail dot com,
I don't know. Yeah, what do you think? Whatever do
you think? You know? Can people? Hey, guys, can people
just start making decisions for themselves? Seriously? Around here? Elon
Musk at gmail dot com. The episode we've ever had,
and it's a mess, you guys are making in a mess.
It's Clay the only one here. Who am I yelling at?
(25:39):
I don't even know why is Clay here? Clay? Why
are you here? I'm gonna fire his single right now? Clay?
Hey Clay? UM what? Um? What's that? What's yeah? No, No,
it's I feel No, it's sounding good. No, it's I'm oh,
shut up, shut up, shut up, Clay, Clay, just shut up.
Clus is different. I don't even think about it. Good morning,
(26:01):
Thanks for holding. This is Tesla Vehicle Support. My name
is Brandon. I'll be helping you out today. How can
I assist you? Hey, Brandon, this is George Collins from
The Man Thinker's podcast. I'm here with my co host
Dan Finkelstein, and we are waiting for Elon Musk to show.
He had an interview with him scheduled and he has
yet to arrive. So I'm just calling to kind of
check in and see what's up. UM, got you? Got you?
(26:23):
So this is Tesla support line. Um, we don't actually
have any contact with Mr Musk here. This is actually
for vehicle and software trouble shooting. So if you have
a question on that, okay, But you're saying that Ellen
is not there to right now? Or he's coming later. Yeah,
like can you hand him the phone when he? Like?
Is he coming to where you are and you can
give him the phone or something? Um? No, No, I
(26:46):
don't have contact with Mr Musk. We're actually in Las Vegas.
So cool? Wow, cool Vegas. Wow. Wait so you and
Elon Musk had like a falling out and so you
guys don't talk anymore. Is that what you mean? No? No,
I do work for Mr Musk, but I don't have
any contact with Mr Musk. I'm in customer support for software.
UM to help me fix your car? Do you have?
(27:08):
Do you have a problem with your Tesla that I
can help you with? Teslas don't have problems. Yeah, let's
be honestly. We're trying to talk to Elon. He's supposed
to be here. Um, he's a moment for us, Brandon,
and so whatever you can do, got you. But I'm sorry,
there's I don't. Like I said, I don't have any
contact with Mr Musk already said He's just said, I'm
(27:29):
here in customer support. UM, Like I said, if you
have any problems with your Tesla? Were with the app? Okay, Brandon,
can you hold on? What's dec what if we just
ask him questions crazy like you just call me like
they don't know what it's voice, and now he knows
what his voice sounds like. Has he ever even been recorded? Elon? Definitely? Yeah,
Well thanks for being here. It's so cool. Um, first question,
(27:54):
why space? I mean just when space? That's a question
from both of us. Yeah. Um, sorry, I'm not Elon Musk.
I'm I'm Brandon Elon. This has been a great interview.
I thought we really got to know you, um when
you were you know, all the information we needed. This
is really fantastic talking you. Thank you for being live
in the studio with us. Well, I guess we'll get
(28:16):
have your helicopter get you out of here, man. But
that was a great, long, thoughtful interview. I'm I'm not
Mr Musky. Brandon. Hey, Brandon, can you just can you
just shut up with the stuff about you're not Mr Musty?
Maybe you can just help us out here because like
our podcast kind of really needs this. Our numbers are
low as hell, and if you could just pretend to
be Ellen for just like thirty seconds, man, we can
(28:38):
kind of edit it. It's not going to be trouble.
I got gotcha. Gotcha. I want to help you, but
did you have a what do you think? Do you
have a question? We have a question? What you think?
We don't have a tesla? Don't yelling? Sorry, just do it, Brandon,
what do you what are you holding out for? I'm
not I'm not holy announcer. I just uh just say yet,
say hi, I'm Elon Musk Musk. That's literally that, that's
(29:01):
not technically saying that. It's you, like you could pretend
that you're pointing at something. I'm sorry, I'm not I'm
not Mr muskow. I do not represent him. Uh, and
we'll put us on with the supervisor. Who does? Is
his representative there? Representative? Mr must for Mr Musk? Yeah,
where's that? Representatives? Really don't like the way you keep
(29:21):
calling him Mr Musk. It just feels weird, Like just
call him Elon like he's your boss, Like he's the guy,
he's the man, he's my boss. So I tried to
call him Mr Musk, but Elon Musk is not here. Um,
all right, all right, thanks you for being here on
where you're really here. I'm not just hang up on
this guy. Really, I gotta say you've been one of
(29:44):
the worst, really cooky vibes. Brandon, You've got to be
one of the worst guests I've ever heard on anybody.
You're the worst guest that's been on man thinkers. Can
I just tell you that right now on that nice job.
I'm still here and I can't. I can't hang up
on you. You have to hang up alright, alright, thanks,
thanks man, I appreciate it. Brandon, Brandon, thanks, thanks for
(30:05):
your call. Oh just to let you know you might
be getting a phone call in the next five minutes
if you could take a survey, Yeah, we'll give you
and say fire Brandon Clay, can we just cut him off?
I have to hit the button. Well, where's the button
to do it? Where? Though? I can't It's start button.
You're listening to The Man Thinkers podcast, a show that
forges a new roadmap for the modern man on how
to best live life on George Collins, a former liberal couple,
and I'm Dan Finkelstein, a staunch libertarian insect. We think,
so you don't have to Dan, I don't know if
you saw there was this package at the studio and
it was it was addressed to the just the man Thinkers.
(00:25):
Maybe a gift from a listener, could it could be?
It was It was like a like a blow up doll,
like a sex doll or something. I thought, I don't
know if that was yours, like a sex toy thing.
I don't know. Did you wear that? Yeah? I think
some people. I didn't. I don't know. I think some
people are ordering some stuff to the office, like for
work stuff. Where was that? It was sent to the
studio and you opened it. It was addressed illegal. No,
(00:47):
it's dressed to the Man Thinkers. It didn't specify you
or me, and so I thought maybe it was for
me and I opened it even something sex Thinkers. I
don't know whose it is. It it's not mine. I
just have to confirm something with it. But I do
think if something says the man thinkers, we both have
to be present to open it. So like what you
did is sort of I don't think it's true shady,
(01:08):
I would just I mean, it's certainly not. Yeah, I
just I was a big package. This thing. By the way,
this doll is like life size really, Oh yeah, it's
like it seems like it's full human it's yes, But
if you say you said it because you said doll
the way you said it before, it doll implies like
a toy. Though, like the way you said it before,
I felt the size of it. You've felt the size
(01:29):
of it because you were like doll, and I was like, oh,
life size doll. And that doesn't make sense to me
at all. But well, because like I'm good at hearing,
you know, words aren't just the only language. There's body language.
And that's your problem. I think, can we just I
just want to let's get the fact I have the package. Okay,
do you want it? It's yours? I did not order it.
I didn't either, Okay, so then I'll just hold on
(01:50):
to it then, and where do you keep stuff? I'm
just curious, this is your sex way? You want to
funk this doll. Just say it. It's there as a
sex object for a man who doesn't have X like you. Um,
I don't know, man, that's that's like, Hey, that's your
tape you got, that's your take on criticism. This is
why we do the show. You have a take, I
have a take, and a lot of times we don't agree,
and right now we do not agree. I just think
(02:12):
it's the into that. Well, Okay, if you're going to
order sex toys like this, Dan, can you just use
your own name and not using man thinkers because I
don't want to be implicated, like I don't know where
this came from. What are you talking about. I'm just saying,
like I I relate to whoever ordered it. I understand
why they would want to be like a little bit
ordered clandestine about it. You ordered, I did not. I'm
just saying I agree with this, like a fan ordered
it for you. I don't know who ordered what. I
(02:33):
don't even know what we're talking about anymore. We're talking
about the sex doll that you ordered off the internet.
Order stuff to offices all the time. There's like tea
in the kitchen, Yeah, that comes in a box. That's
for the break room, dude, so tiny? So what now
we're gonna like what you want? You want to you
want to do? You want to sex doll in the
break room? Green tea? What are you talking about? Green tea? For?
What are you even babbling about right now? Who's ordering
(02:56):
the teas? That's that's the question for me. Why does
that matter? They're trying to just track. You can't understand it.
That's the ultimate that you can't understand. What does that
even mean? That's the ultimate? All right, let's we gotta go,
We gotta come on. We got a great, a big show, guys,
this is it. Why are you starting off on such
a bad foot when we're gonna what's the biggest day
of our lives? Or you're nervous because we've got a
(03:16):
great show? Is that? This is the show? This is
the one. Papa King Elon Musk is here today on
the Man. Thinkers, We told you it was going to happen.
This is the South African sensation is here. The Man.
The Man, May I say, best looking person ever to live?
Not only that, I mean clearly the smartest smart on
(03:37):
planet Earth right now, just richest by far. Although I
don't know Tesla Tesla Stock really took a nose diving,
but he has held at the top. Listen, guys, Elon
Musk is here. He's going to talk to us. Well,
he's not here currently, but he's coming. He's going to
zoom in. It's going to be a live interview. He
doesn't it's you know, he was gonna be live in
(03:59):
the studio. That's what I thought originally to Actually he
might be in the Clay, Clay, he's shaking his head.
Clay doesn't he doesn't know, He doesn't even. But I think, yeah,
he's shaking his head that he doesn't know, not that
it's unknown. Can't we fire him? I've been wanting to
fire him for a long time. I don't want it.
We need to fire someone, just you know. She's still
some fear. Yeah, I'm just feeling pumped, you know, right now.
(04:19):
I'll do it right now. I'll fire Clay right now.
Do it. Let's just do it, all right, Hey, Clay, Clay, Um,
are my levels good? Are we good? Are we good
to record? Let's do it later. I just don't want
to think. I think it would kind of messing with
the flow of the episode. Like emails. Yeah, I think
so we'll just have someone else. Maybe one of the
producers can do Maybe we can get Jenna that she
could do it. She should have to prove, she should
(04:39):
have to prove worth for worth us us by firing
others others. But thinkers, let that be a lesson for you.
You want to do something, pull yourself up by your bootstraps,
use the money that your parents gave you, and make
it the best freaking electric car company in the world. Guys,
dreams come true, Okay, and Elon's dreams came true, our
(05:00):
dreams that were now coming true by having Elon Musk
as a guest today on man Thinkers, we put it
out into the universe, and not to get culty. But
this is what manifestation is. You think it and you
create it. Okay, So gang, if you want to meet
Elon Musk or there maybe there's someone in your life
that you think is amazing on like a little corkboards,
put it on a corkboard. I got a big picture
if Elon shirtless on my corkboard over the head of
(05:23):
my bed. I don't believe in that, but I do
have the same thing. You have to. You do have to.
I don't believe in that stuff. It's a little too
woo woo for me, but for Elon. I do have
a shless picture. Well, um, you know, I gotta admit
I didn't even we don't even have a big question
today because we thought it was just it's just gonna
be all him. Yeah, um, but we do, uh we do.
(05:46):
Maybe we'll just kill like a couple of minutes he
was here. He was supposed to be here by now right, Yes, okay,
I would. I'm gonna say this is our fault because
we started because we're really excited. Yeah, we probably should
have waited for him to come in before we started,
but I wanted to I know, I don't want to
level to make sure that his mic was clean, and
once the mics in front of my face, I have
to talk like I have to just go. I can't
(06:07):
do you know what I mean, I can't start and stop.
Do you have like what is that? What are those papers?
It looks like it's like some kind of business proposal
or something. Are you going to give a business? What
are you trying to propose a business too? I have
some entrepreneurial ideas that I think Ellen would be interested
in this that's just me and him though you're not
involved in that. There's gonna be private time for both
of us. I was going to do it on air,
really yeah, but you just shut up and I would
talk to him and you stay quiet. Fine, that's fine.
(06:28):
I don't think that will work out for you. But
I'm just because he's probably not going to care about
like whatever, you're insane? Bad picture this picture this? Okay?
So you know how like all photos are digital now,
so what if there's a picture frame but you put
in your house physical frame but the frame just cycles
through photos. I think they've had that for like fifteen years. Really? Why? How?
How that? When did the tech? I thought Ellen would
create the tech if it was like slides. I don't
(06:52):
think understand No, don't think you're understand what I'm saying
the slide show but in a frame. I know what
you're saying. Why do you think that that clarifies it?
Never popular product? Really think they have it at like
Marshall's buy It for Anyone? Yes, and Grandma's and Grandpa's
love them. Well, that shows you that's a good idea
because if Marshall's has it, well, once you're done embarrassing yourself.
Then then I kind of want to talk Then I
kind of want to talk to him. What do you
(07:12):
want to talk to him about? You're trying to just
you and him? Yes, I would have a little alone time.
I think it's very normal. First of all, in the show,
are you picturing like you and him going to a
separate room and just be alone together. That's not gonna.
I set up well, I set up the outside. I
set up a couple of blankets for us to sit
on for some snack because I'm gonna talk to him
some snacks because he gets hungry. Hey man, he's rich,
he gets hungry. Is that I got fruit roll ups
(07:34):
in case? Because look, some rich people they love they
get off on eating, like you know, a trashy trash
right there, Like I could afford anything, but I eat,
But I like the cane. I would respect that about him.
I also got some caviarcs. I think that's another thing
that billionaires like. So you're gonna feed him fruit by
the foot and caviar. I'm feeding him anything unless he
asked me to, then I say, yes, sir, may I
please have another You're not even in this conversation with
(07:55):
menilon minion or in a separate room. First your home,
crying or whatever you do at home. I cry in
the morning, you know, never go home. You barely have
a home to go home to. That's not true. I
have multiple domiciles where I am welcomed by the community.
So yes, I don't have a home. I have many homes.
I have many communities which want but they're always ousting you. Well,
that's barely ever welcome. It's like, oh, I can't go
(08:17):
to this one because it's political. It's all political. Okay, culture,
very political. I'm not going to call them cults. It's
crazy that you even call them cults. I call them.
It's it's a practical thing because if I say cult,
you know what I mean, but it's not a call.
If I call it a spiritual community, then you're like, wait,
what's that? What's just a cult? I got it? Um,
Well is he still not? So you have his number?
(08:37):
You have his personal number. This is what I have, it,
says Elon Musk. Okay, thank you for calling up. If
you know your party's extension, Press nine, probably just want one,
all right, man, Well, let's cut to that. Let's just
cut to that. Interview that could be really good. Just
what doctor I don't know. All right, guys, out this
interview with this doctor woman. She's really interesting. We did
(08:58):
this a while ago. We weren't going to air it,
but um, I think it's good. I think you guys
would like it. It's good. It's gonna take up some time.
It's gonna get you guys excited for Ellen when we
come back. Musk in the house. Enjoy this quick interview,
and then you come right for a monster and there
might be more ads in between. I don't know. Here
(09:23):
at Man Thinkers, we're always looking for ways to optimize
our bodies and our minds. So today we're speaking with
Dr Gina Parrish, or neuroscientists at Caltech, who claims her
newest studies have unlocked the key to happiness. Dr Paris,
thank you so much for being on the show. Thank
you so much for having me. It feels like every
day some liberal celebrity has given their advice on how
to achieve happiness and Paltrow or the word I mean,
(09:46):
you know, but your methods are actually backed up by facts,
is that right? That's right. I have done countless studies
with a number of subjects ranging in age, ethnicity, and
personality type, and we were able to find one unifying
method for being unequivocally happy. That's so exciting. I mean,
what is it. I feel like it's probably what more
exercise or sex or something. Seems like it's always sex,
(10:06):
you know, That's what a lot of researchers would have
you think. But if you look at the data sets,
you'll find people aren't nearly as happy during sex as
they are when they are on drugs. Okay, that's interesting. Okay,
so drugs make people feel really good. So what are
some methods people can use to make them feel as
if they are on drugs. Nope, what I'm saying is,
(10:27):
in order to be happy, you should be on drugs,
hard drugs perfectly if you have them. Okay, wow, what
a breakthrough. Sorry, just to clarify, we're talking about like
zoloft or something that can really help people who you
know are suffering from depression or anxiety. Is that what
we're talking about? I mean, those are fine, but that's
not what I'm talking about. I mean like hard street drugs. Really. Yeah,
(10:48):
I'm surprised. The harder the better I'm talking. We'd coke
even crack holework in a pin shreams M d M,
A acid, d MT and epidural. If that was hardcore.
It's hard to get. But if you can get one,
I really recommend it. You know, I've heard people who
get epidurals just have a glow about them in the
days afterwards. Well, it might have something to do with
giving birth to a child, don't you think. I don't know.
(11:10):
I feel like it's the drugs they have. You think, hey,
you can only have this when you're giving birth, But hey,
I would like to give birth to some ideas when
I'm at work, putting on my back, turn around, shoot
me up in my back. I hadn't really considered that.
But doesn't true happiness come from within. Happiness can come
within if the drugs are within yourself, like inside of
your body. That's an excellent answer, because she just took
(11:32):
what you were trying to do, Nan, and she flipped
it on its head. You know what I mean. I'm
just asking, No, you're trying to disprove Dr Parrish Heer,
and she's been nice enough to come on the show
and enlighten us on how to be high, stay high,
and therefore be happy. Then you gotta lighten up, Boddy.
But just I'm just I'm just pushing back asking some questions.
These are normal, this is a normal process for the interview.
See how like uptight? This guy actually fell asleep for
(11:53):
a couple of seconds. But I am back boring. He's
a bore doctor. Are you on drugs right now? I
am we which ones? If? If you don't, I'm asking.
I made myself a cocktail of xan X and M
D M A and right before getting out of the car.
You're gonna love this, I had a big old ball
ram baby. Yeah. I just opened the door and moved
my legs over. Just put the ball right there. And
it's from the ground up. Yeah, it's like a two
(12:15):
three fat. Oh my god, I've got it. It's a hybrid. Wow.
And you feel good. I feel fucking amazing. Let's think
about it. When have you felt the happiest? Well, I mean,
for me, probably when I was on mushrooms and Joshua Tree.
I cried laughing while looking at a rock. It was crazy.
That is crazy. You can never laugh at a rock
(12:35):
while you were sober. Rocks aren't funny at all. When
I'm sober, they're just rocks when you're sober. They're not
stand up comedian exactly. Some shrooms in you, they're hilarious,
like Joe Rogan, just like the funniest guys that have
ever lived. Absolutely, So okay, how could I tap into
that feeling again? Do mushrooms again? I see do them
all the time, right, So if I keep doing them,
(12:57):
I'll keep feeling happy. And if you want to feel
even better or next time, do more, like a higher dose,
that makes sense because your body would kind of gain
some sort of tolerance, right if you were doing at
that moment. It's kind of like when you're a twenty
four hour fitness you're doing the reps, you're doing ten
of them, next time you do twelve. I love. Yeah,
it's the greatest, the greatest, because you know, sometimes I'm
high off my mind at four am, and I said,
what do you want to do? It not work out?
(13:18):
And I can go to twenty four hour, but the
other places are closed, you know, so you're just working
out at four am on Oh yeah, when I'm on
a bender. That's one of my things. Oh yeah, The
happiest people are at twenty four fitness at four am
because they're all on drugs. Really, that place is crawling
with happy people at four am on a weekday. Have
you ever seen those guys chuck those protein shakes. I've
never seen a happier person. Boys smiles from ear to
(13:42):
ear as they pound that protet powder in their nose.
They've got powder in their belly. It seems dangerous, doesn't it.
A life of danger is a life well lived. What's
the most dangerous situation you've been in your life? Now?
Probably walking when it says don't walk? Jesus Christ, do
some drugs you square? No? Thank you, Dr Parris. I
mean I assume you have drugs on you. Maybe we
could smoke something or put some in our bodies right now? Yeah,
I would love that. Okay, cool? So interesting. Kind of
(14:04):
a big box that you got there? Big? It's an
old Amazon box. This is what you call a stash dash.
That's just what like a box of drugs? Is that adderall?
Can I crush that up? Yeah? Here's a little bit
of batall. I also have that epidural in there. It's
just like smokes. Oh man, Yeah whoa that just hits
(14:27):
like right straight to the brain. You know what I mean?
This is really good stuff, Dan, And to be honest,
I'm really feeling for you, but I was a little
bit upset at you earlier and like that's probably on me.
But when I think about it now, I'm just kind
of like, Dann, you need to loosen up. This is
because of all your problems. You don't mean, like Jesus Christ,
get off the freaking apps, get into the streets, start
doing some drugs, and just start talking to women aggressively. Hello,
I'm Dan, I'm available. You know what I mean. They're
gonna love that. You're hurt. Sorry my back. Well, Dr Parris,
(14:50):
thank you so much. I didn't really agree with everything
that we talked about, but it was certainly an interesting conversation.
I hope bart thinkers got a lot out of it.
Do you want to out of the bathroom and we can?
I got some we can treat, of course, I would
love that. What a great interview, Guys. She was great.
I like having her. Her and I really hit it off.
I don't know if you could tell, but I think
(15:11):
she really liked me and I really liked her. She's
a new friend, and I'm gonna invite her into one
of my communities. Well, good for you. So we were
hoping Ellen would be here by the time that interview ended. Yes,
but a gang Ellen is on his way. He's still
we haven't heard definitively that it's a no yet. We
don't know. So what we're doing now is we're slowing down.
Are talking. That's right, not to take up more of
(15:34):
your time. No, no no, no, no, we want to get
in the right headspace. Headspace. But the fridge went on.
Let's get that. We're just thinking about sounds right now, guys, soundscapes.
You know, a fridge sound is an excellent sound, and
it's a sound that goes unappreciated. Can I just be
honest about that? And I think Ellen is gonna appreciate
that because fridges are essentially computers or robots. They were
the original robot was a fridgerat. And so you're like, Ellen,
(15:54):
don't you love the humming of a fridge because it's
he and he'll know what we're doing, you know, Because
I was also thinking, as one of the entrepreneurial ideas
I was going to pitch him is let's make a
fridge to disrupt the refrigerator industry. Definitely like a little
smaller and doesn't it takes up less room totally, and
it gets shipped to you. Yes, and then you could
put it in like a like a small fridge, that
would be that. That's another original idea I have that.
(16:17):
I think you're just sorry. You're just saying a small
fridge like like yeah, like a like a fifth of
the size of a normal fridge, doesn't even have a freezer.
It's but it's time they've had that since it seems
like refrigerators started that many many fridges him in every
hotel room. Well know those are hotel fridges. I'm talking
about a small fridge. That is what that is. They
didn't originate as hotel fridge. I think what they pride
(16:38):
that you're picturing the product in a hotel would be
in your home. And what your problem is is you
think that that's different. Don't bring this up to you
on why because he'll think you're crazy. No, he won't.
He You know what, bring it up first thing, Bring
it up, and then as soon as whatever he says,
I'm pretty sure I know what he's gonna say. He
and I are going to go off, so I could
pitch him my idea, but we're gonna have some fruit
by the foot in some gaviar. I will agree to that.
(17:00):
Only if you agree to this, you do not get
to ask him when space. That is my question, and
that is my question alone. I will agree to that
if you agree to this. When he comes in, I'm first,
what does that mean? Handshake? I get the first shake? Okay,
I will agree to that if you agree to this.
At the end of the interview, when he leaves, you shake,
I hug. I will agree to that. If you agree
(17:20):
to this, you hug him. That is your final goodbye
to Mr Musk. Meanwhile, I walk him to his car
so I can follow up on the pitch, all right,
and I'm allowed to get in the car if he's
going somewhere else, No, I would only agree to that
if you agree to this, which is after he drives
you to where he's going. That's it. You have to
uber back to the studio and you can never see
(17:42):
him again. Meanwhile, I will meet him at his house
later that night, and I get to kiss him goodnight
or he kisses me good night on the cheek. I'll
agree to that for now. If you agree to what,
you give me his address, because it sounds like you
have it right, and I go there before tonight to
warn him that is a crazy man coming. And whatever
he decides to do to that crazy man who's gonna
(18:04):
like tuck him in or kiss him that night, that counts.
Like he's allowed to do whatever he's going to do,
and you can't press charges. That counts. You have to
make it clear to him that that counts. Whatever he
decides to do, that counts, and you can't press charges
to whatever that is that he has to do. Thus,
should I ever see him again and you're not in
this world, it's allowed. Okay. I like that that counts,
(18:25):
and so I'm going to work with you here because
that does as long as you can make that counts.
But when you say because I am not in this world,
the subtext of that to me is the implication that
I have been killed. I don't even know that. Sometimes, Dan,
I'm not gonna let you treat me to agreeing to
my own death. All I want to do is make
sure both Okay, let's review. So you first hand shake,
(18:47):
that's you me. When he leaves, I get the hug.
You only handshake, right, I'm going down to the car
with You're walking to him to the car and you're
in the car. Well, you're gonna let him drive you
to wherever he's going, but then you have to back
right back. I know. I agree, I'm right back here
to the studio and right yes, I meet at his
house later tonight, where whatever happens, and it counts. Whatever happens,
(19:07):
and it counts, and it counts. Tuck him in, he
tucks me in. Maybe there's a kiss on the cheek
and it counts. Okay, whatever he does that night counts counts.
Thank you for calling, Tesla. Your call is very important
to us. Whatever. Um, God, this is a good song.
Do we have any other content? I'm feeling what if
we are? We could cut to that, but at the
(19:28):
beginning of the show we said it's all along. Well,
that's okay, we're improvising bankers. Thanks for thinking with us.
We get this question a lot. Who's smarter Dan or George.
We've been trying to determine that for a long time.
I think pretty obvious. Well, and so do I, um,
and so do a lot of people. A lot of
people that message me and don't message you because they
wouldn't want to because message well, it doesn't matter. Yes,
(19:51):
I do have your passwords. Anyway, we are having what
is known as the smart off, and in the smart off,
we are going to determine who is smarter, Danner, George,
and then you, the thinkers and listeners at home, will
know who to listen to when we debate. Currently, we
are tied. The needle hasn't moved. Today we will determine
who is smarter by asking each other a trivia question,
(20:13):
and whoever answers it correctly, we'll take the lead. George,
why don't you hit me with a question today? I'm
ready to go. I was just a reading a big book,
so I've got a lot of new information in my brain.
This one's I like this question because it's nice and clean. Okay,
here we go. How many planets are there in our
Solar system? Okay, well that's not a fair question. Why
because the number has changed. They've changed. They didn't even
(20:36):
know there were other planets for a while. Now we know, yeah,
but then they changed it again. They were like, yeah,
this one's not a planet, and they like maybe there's
like a big there's full telescope. There's that new telescope
that James Webb telescope to beautiful pictures. Whatever, but okay,
I thought they were absolutely beautiful. And again, then you
know who's smarter, because someone who could appreciate beauty or
(20:57):
someone who's easily entertained is clearly stupid. How do you
entertain to put some cartoons on damn watches? Tons of cartoons? Anyway,
I'm not gonna honor that question with an answers, just
an honorable question. It's not a number, it's just that
we don't know. You can just choose any number, say
any number. No, it doesn't count. This question doesn't count.
I will say a number, but that the answer doesn't count.
To pass, you want to do it together. So we
(21:18):
know there's Earth that's one, okay, not name another planet.
You're again you're trying to set me up. I'm trying
to help. Okay, Venus Great swore at two. Okay, so
that's incorrect. Eight, that's not but again said no, you
said too. I thought we were just counting the planets
that we just had. You said, okay to period too.
That implies your answer you Okay, that's also wrong. But
(21:40):
I'm just saying that's three planets. I'm not saying that's
my final answer. I already passed. I already passed. It's
over it's over all right. Well that's a wrong answer.
So we're just gonna go ahead of the docks. You
we're gonna dock. See a point, No one's getting docks.
If anyone's getting docs, it's you because I got your passwords.
That was a layup for you. Damn. Oh yeah, you're
trying to take a layoup. Yeah, I make them all
the time. You can. You can't play sports for ship,
all right? Or let's go. The score right now is
(22:03):
tied zero zero or maybe passes? Two passes, no more
passes by the way, already used. Your pass used had
one today? But why do you get one and I
don't get one? I don't know, man, you have to
keep track of your pass You don't know. Of course
you don't know, because you're not smart. You don't even
know how passive smartest smart? You can leaven listening to
this guy, No hit me, let's go. I'm ready. D
(22:24):
hydrogen monoxide not a word, is a chemical name for
what substance de hydrogen monoxide or die hydrogen monoxide. Well,
which one is it? Because there's a different answer, And
this is what this is the problem with this game.
Dan is that you're not smart enough to play it.
You can't even pronounce your own questions. You're trying to
throw me for a little questions. I'm looking at questions
(22:46):
from a game. Are you serious? I know the questions
from my own mind. You just proved that you were worthless.
So what you know? Questions? I know I could ask
many questions as I want. You're terrible questions just to
be a question right now? Go ahead? Who are you? No,
that's not a question. You know who I am. You
know the answer. If you know the answer, it's not
a quest George. That's a point for me. No, it's
(23:06):
not who are you your George? Point for me. The
point is if you ask a question answer you don't
have any points. Are you gonna answer the question? Say
it again? The hydrogen monoxide is a chemical name for
what substance? Thinkers, I want to just point this out.
Words like substance are so vague. Define substance is substance? Liquid?
(23:26):
Is it gas? It could be anything? Is it doesn't matter,
it doesn't there it absolutely I'll tell you what the
substances you're gonna answer it? No, I won't say I'll
tell you what kind of matter. Is that what you're asking?
What is the substance? It is a liquid. I'm giving
you a hint. Well, thanks for establishing that, okay and
doing the question clear. Ask it one more time with this?
Would this change? The hydrogen? Monoxide is a chemical name
(23:51):
for what liquid? Again, guys, I just want to point
out chemical, a chemical name. What's your chemical name? Dan?
What is going on? Just answer question? No, I'm I
I resent the question because it is not a I passed,
and I think I should even get a point for
this past because I was able to to the point.
We're getting a point. You passed like a baby. I
passed through logic. You are you could have a point.
(24:13):
I get a point and then it would be one one. Okay, fine, fine,
all right, we're tied. Water break, No, it's water. The
answers water, hydrogen and what I didn't know that. I
just didn't hydrogen and oxygen. It was a gimme. But
you said to hydrogen. That's not what is the hydrogen.
It's to hydrogen. And I'm fine that it's tied right now.
One to one. Okay, another great round of trivia, really
(24:35):
solid round. I mean, we are just murdered. Really good stuff.
It's tied right now. So hey, you know what, listeners, Sorry,
it's going to take another week of doing the smart Off,
but thanks for listening, and thanks for sticking with us
as a really intense competition. And also, listeners, if you
have some smart Off questions, if you have any smart
Ask questions you want to ask us, you're ready to
(24:56):
answer them. All right, thanks for listening. Guys, keep thinking,
I'm getting a little worried at this point about what
He's not here and we haven't broken through. What's it been.
It's only been like, oh my god. But isn't that normal?
More power you have the later you are. I wouldn't
expect him to be here till you know tonight. Hey, Clay,
can you can you see if Ellen could do a
(25:18):
zoom chat? Well that's what we'll I mean, yeah, I'll
ask him that once I want At gmail dot com,
I don't know. Yeah, what do you think? Whatever do
you think? You know? Can people? Hey, guys, can people
just start making decisions for themselves? Seriously? Around here? Elon
Musk at gmail dot com. The episode we've ever had,
and it's a mess, you guys are making in a mess.
It's Clay the only one here. Who am I yelling at?
(25:39):
I don't even know why is Clay here? Clay? Why
are you here? I'm gonna fire his single right now? Clay?
Hey Clay? UM what? Um? What's that? What's yeah? No, No,
it's I feel No, it's sounding good. No, it's I'm oh,
shut up, shut up, shut up, Clay, Clay, just shut up.
Clus is different. I don't even think about it. Good morning,
(26:01):
Thanks for holding. This is Tesla Vehicle Support. My name
is Brandon. I'll be helping you out today. How can
I assist you? Hey, Brandon, this is George Collins from
The Man Thinker's podcast. I'm here with my co host
Dan Finkelstein, and we are waiting for Elon Musk to show.
He had an interview with him scheduled and he has
yet to arrive. So I'm just calling to kind of
check in and see what's up. UM, got you? Got you?
(26:23):
So this is Tesla support line. Um, we don't actually
have any contact with Mr Musk here. This is actually
for vehicle and software trouble shooting. So if you have
a question on that, okay, But you're saying that Ellen
is not there to right now? Or he's coming later. Yeah,
like can you hand him the phone when he? Like?
Is he coming to where you are and you can
give him the phone or something? Um? No, No, I
(26:46):
don't have contact with Mr Musk. We're actually in Las Vegas.
So cool? Wow, cool Vegas. Wow. Wait so you and
Elon Musk had like a falling out and so you
guys don't talk anymore. Is that what you mean? No? No,
I do work for Mr Musk, but I don't have
any contact with Mr Musk. I'm in customer support for software.
UM to help me fix your car? Do you have?
(27:08):
Do you have a problem with your Tesla that I
can help you with? Teslas don't have problems. Yeah, let's
be honestly. We're trying to talk to Elon. He's supposed
to be here. Um, he's a moment for us, Brandon,
and so whatever you can do, got you. But I'm sorry,
there's I don't. Like I said, I don't have any
contact with Mr Musk already said He's just said, I'm
(27:29):
here in customer support. UM, Like I said, if you
have any problems with your Tesla? Were with the app? Okay, Brandon,
can you hold on? What's dec what if we just
ask him questions crazy like you just call me like
they don't know what it's voice, and now he knows
what his voice sounds like. Has he ever even been recorded? Elon? Definitely? Yeah,
Well thanks for being here. It's so cool. Um, first question,
(27:54):
why space? I mean just when space? That's a question
from both of us. Yeah. Um, sorry, I'm not Elon Musk.
I'm I'm Brandon Elon. This has been a great interview.
I thought we really got to know you, um when
you were you know, all the information we needed. This
is really fantastic talking you. Thank you for being live
in the studio with us. Well, I guess we'll get
(28:16):
have your helicopter get you out of here, man. But
that was a great, long, thoughtful interview. I'm I'm not
Mr Musky. Brandon. Hey, Brandon, can you just can you
just shut up with the stuff about you're not Mr Musty?
Maybe you can just help us out here because like
our podcast kind of really needs this. Our numbers are
low as hell, and if you could just pretend to
be Ellen for just like thirty seconds, man, we can
(28:38):
kind of edit it. It's not going to be trouble.
I got gotcha. Gotcha. I want to help you, but
did you have a what do you think? Do you

not I'm not holy announcer. I just uh just say yet,
say hi, I'm Elon Musk Musk. That's literally that, that's

that you're pointing at something. I'm sorry, I'm not I'm
not Mr muskow. I do not represent him. Uh, and
we'll put us on with the supervisor. Who does? Is
his representative there? Representative? Mr must for Mr Musk? Yeah,

call him Mr Musk, but Elon Musk is not here. Um,
