(00:20):
Tea.
It's tea.
You have tea in your mug, not wine.
Tea.
Well, after that comedy rumble, I
need freaking tea.
I need tea.
You actually, I have to say, Seth,you really crushed on comedy rumble
and I have, I literally have, I havedozens of cousins in my DMs still

(00:43):
screaming at me that Seth was robbed.
Well, first off, you never sentyour cousins my phone number.
So first off, text,tweet them all right now.
Give them my social media.
I could use the followers.
A hundred percent.
Well, just
tell them I'm Donny Osmond.
They're Mormons.
So they'll love it.
They
will love it.
They, they really love you.
And I love having, bythe way, I love them.

(01:05):
This is Seth.
This is my friend Seth.
Seth is a fabulous entertainerfrom, uh, Las Vegas, uh, Nevada.
Uh, he came up to be on one ofmy shows up here in Salt Lake.
Um, he actually came tothis house that I was in.
He was part of, part of a house,a spontaneous housewarming
party after the show.
So fun.
It was super fun.

(01:25):
And, uh, then you were on the,the most recent, uh, comedy
rumble down in Las Vegas.
Uh, and is there anything youwant to say about yourself?
Anything you want to say tointroduce yourself to my listeners?
I, uh, well, my name is Seth Robichaux,uh, I am an comedian, singer, actor.
I'm a whore for show business.
So, uh, it's a problem, which is why Ihave been brought to this meeting here

(01:46):
today that I've been told is a podcast,but I think it's an intervention.
We'll see.
Surprise.
So Seth, one of the, we, we, we had youon, we had you on the rumble, uh, uh,
last Saturday and it was, it was so fun.
It was especially fun because, um,there were a whole fleet of my family.

(02:11):
This was actually really unexpected.
I knew that one, I knew that one memberof my family texted me and they're
like, Hey, I'm coming to the show.
Maybe some people will come with me.
And then I turn up and literallyit's like, it's, it was like 13 of
my cousins and one brother and thena couple of like brothers in law.
And they all just kind of likeshowed up and they gave me, it was
like a really fun moment for me.

(02:31):
Cause not a lot of familyhas been out to my shows.
And so it was kind of this reallymagical moment for me where I was
like, Oh my gosh, this thing thatI've been working really hard on.
Suddenly I've got all of the, thisfamily that I wasn't expecting
who've now shown up to it.
And it was like, And then they parkedit on the front row and they fell.
I think they deeply, deeplyfell in love with you.

(02:52):
I fell in love.
I will be a sister wifeto any of your cousins.
I, oh, how, I would be thrilledto be one of their seven wives.
They would be thrilled to have you.
They would be I loved them.
They're so fun.
And they were, they were so,they had such a good time.
Um, they, we, we, uh, they were adamantthat you, so you came in second.

(03:15):
You had, you had, Oh, don't get
me started on this.
Well, actually I'm hopingto get you started on this.
I'm just gonna say, the way Bette Midlerwas robbed by Sally Field in 1979,
which is for the gays, that was me.
Yes.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm thrilled that, uh, that theother winner, the other contestant

(03:38):
won because he was fabulous.
Really funny.
I'd never seen him before.
Really great.
I mean, I, he only been doingcomedy for like six months,
so I'm thrilled that he won.
He was like three months in.
Yes.
But I'm just going to sayfor your demographic, you
know, white straight man won.
Old woman lost.
Well, but in Not very popular right now.

(03:58):
In defense, in defense of the white,the white straight men who were my
white straight men that came, at leastthe polygamous white straight men.
Yes!
They hated Jason, the guy that won.
Oh, well we don't want to hate Jason.
They were, they were angry with him.
They were like, no, Seth, oneof my, one of my cousins came
up to me, he cornered me.
He cornered me in thebar in the after party.

(04:19):
And he was like, dude, love Jason.
He's, he's great.
I'm glad he brought his friends.
Seth was a hundred timesfunnier than Jason was.
And that's why your cousinand I are getting married.
And we just haven't told you.
And that's
why we are excited to announce themarriage of Seth and, uh, All of

(04:42):
my cousins, actually, I was aboutto say, which one's the cute one.
I
think,
I think what's actually going,there was one that was really,
there was one that was really cute.
And, you know, I said to myself for asecond, I was like, man, you know, if
only I was a sister, wife, you and me, you
could potentially be thesister wife to all of them.

(05:03):
That's right.
Which would be, which would not beokay for the rule with the real rules,
but I think they would make it really.
No, they would not.
Okay.
Because one, 'causeyou're only in polygamy.
You're only supposed men can havemultiple wives, but, but wives
can't have multiple husbands.
Oh yeah.
Oh, so I have to pick.

(05:24):
I have to pick.
This is, I feel like SnowWhite in the seven Mormons.
Oh, this is so, Ugh.
This is horrible.
How are you?
Well, you already, it soundslike you already have picked.
You've got one that you'vegot like, that one was cute.
I've got one that I got cornered, butit was because he gave me the look.
And you can tell I went to private school.
Yes.
He's like, it's, it's the look ofmeet me after football tryouts.

(05:48):
Yeah.
So
what I love, what I loved about thatnight though, cause that night was great.
It was so fun.
So
magical.
The crowd was great.
All of the comics did.
Such a good job.
And it was so cool.
Cause like, I'm, I'mactually going to have Jason.
Jason's probably the next person.
And I I've loved talking to him.
I've loved getting to know him afterwards.

(06:09):
And, and I think that one of thethings that was interesting about
that show and interesting aboutthat night in particular is that.
It's sort of set up progressively, right?
So you do one minute at the beginning.
And then if you pass, if you get throughto the next round, you do three minutes.
And if you get through,you get, you get five.
And then if you win, you get 10.
And Jason is new, right?
He's, he's a couplemonths into this thing.

(06:30):
And as I know, it takes.
It takes a long time towrite material sometimes.
Yes.
Sometimes, sometimes we'relike, sometimes years.
And so Jason, he got about halfwaythrough his, his 10 minutes at the end
and he kind of ran out of material.
Like he didn't really have.

(06:51):
And so we got to kind of like watch him do
Yeah.
What all comics have to do atsome point, which is Crowd work.
Things to say on stage.
And then figure out what to do.
Yes.
And that's, but that's how I thinksome of the best material comes out.
You know what I mean?
I'm I've even done becauseI grew up in theater, right?

(07:13):
So I'll never forget.
I was like 15 years old and I wasdoing a musical and I was on stage.
It was opening night and I'm singing tothe person on stage with me, just she and
I'm, and I forgot the words to the song.
And I swear to you, I blacked out.
And I rewrote the lyrics.

(07:33):
They rhymed and made sense.
I rewrote the lyrics in my head.
So now it's really fun because whenI'm performing with a live band on
stage as well, like, as you know, Ising, uh, I will sometimes just tell
them, play something, give me an idea,and we will riff off of each other.
And it's so much fun.
I love that so much.
That reminds me of literally rightbefore I came to the show, uh, last

(07:56):
Saturday, I just spent two weeks inNew York and the first week I got
invited out there by a friend wholives there and the, the, it was magic.
It was like we had a magic time.
But, but the first week that I was there,I was in upstate New York at this, at
this farm in upstate New York and had likethis recording studio in the basement.
And I was there, the, the, the guythat invited me out there, he owns

(08:18):
a design studio out in New York.
And so he was basically, it wasbasically like their company retreat
for like 20, for like 15 people.
And because they're allcreative artist types.
What we did for the creativeretreat is we played music all week.
We were just in thebasement, there were drums.
There were, there was like guitars.
There was a, there was a grandpiano, tons of recording equipment.

(08:39):
And for the first time in mylife, I got to be part of a band.
And what I learned by being in partof part of a band is there's this
fabulous kind of improvisational thingthat happens when you are in that
sort of flow state, where someone willpitch something like a little idea.
And then someone can grab onto that andthey can run with it and they can grab.

(08:59):
And the, the, the, the flow that Iexperienced in that room was magic.
And it reminds me of what you said,singing that song where you sort of
black out, but then you're in it, you'rejust in it, you're just spontaneously
creating and those moments are magical.
You
know, music and comedy.

(09:20):
are one and one.
They're, they're a quarterof a way from each other.
They're literally the flip of a coin.
And why I say that is because I doa lot of musical comedy in my act.
Like my, my act is nota straight standup act.
It is a comedy variety act is what Icall it, or musical comedy variety.
And, um, I love that for thatpurpose because, uh, that they're

(09:42):
just, they are so much in sync.
Comedy is music.
Comedy is choreography.
It's like dancing.
Because you were, you're, think ofit this way, you're tap dancing at a
hundred miles a minute and any little,any little banana peel that you slip
on, metaphorically, of course, you haveto figure out how to get up and get

(10:05):
back into that step in a millisecondso you don't lose the audience.
Yeah.
So comedy is music in a way, andI've always, I've always said
this, uh, and heard this, thatgood musicians are good comics,
and good comics are good musicians.
I
believe that I, because there's, there'ssomething about the, the immediacy of it.

(10:25):
Right.
The, the, just like the, andI love to that idea of just
play something and all rip.
We'll just, we'll just play with it.
Right.
We'll just play.
And what was so fun to me about Saturday,about the rumble on Saturday was.
Was number one seeing allof these fantastic comics.
Some of, some of whom had neverperformed on a weekend stage before.

(10:49):
So, which is
incredible that you gaveeveryone that opportunity.
Can I just, I'm going to brag on you.
Please, I love it.
People
brag on me.
Well, I will brag on you andI'm going to brag on Kay Banks,
who's also one of my darling, oneof my closest friends out here.
And I adore her.
And she was your, your co hostfor the evening and co, uh, you
know, creator of the Vegas comedyrumble with you, I believe.

(11:10):
And you guys, I mean, I have,uh, you brought the house.
down with the comics youpicked for this show.
You know what I mean?
And you know it was great as much as itwas a quote unquote competition, no one
felt in competition with each other.
We all were just like working actors.
You know, it's like, I don't knowif you've ever done theater, but

(11:30):
it's like you're getting ready foropening night of a show and you know,
you're not exactly, because, becauseyou're on stage with somebody else.
You see, it's not just youin this kind of a show.
So you're dependent on your counterpart,your competition, in so many words,
to be Up to your energy level tokeep it going for the audience.
So it was really, youguys put on such a great
show.
Well, and I loved to seeing them do thatand, and realizing, right, that because

(11:54):
I, right before we went up, I, I calledeveryone together and I was like, look,
look, you guys were, we're in competition.
And the competition in some waysis a little bit of a gimmick.
To not that it's a gimmick to get theaudience involved and not that it's fake.
It's just that it's, it's, it'ssort of saying, Hey, we're going to
do, we're going to play this role.

(12:15):
And the right point of play is thatwe're in competition with each other,
but really all every single comicthat got up on stage on Saturday.
Came off looking great.
They all killed everysingle person killed.
And so even if you got eliminated,I, I, I was talking to come, I've
talked to comics afterwards whogot eliminated in the first minute.

(12:38):
So they only did one minute and then alittle bit, a little bit of an interview.
And afterwards they werelike, Oh, Oh my gosh.
I've never gotten laughs like that.
I've never gotten, and I'm like, look,here's what you've got to do, right?
It's not, it's not a competition.
We are not, comics are notcompeting with each other.
No, because everybody's different.
Everyone's different.

(13:00):
Everyone's voice is different.
So my perspective as a comic, the onlything I can do is I can exercise my voice.
I can, I can really leaninto my perspective.
Right.
Nobody else has my perspective.
And nobody else has your perspectiveand nobody else has any other, anybody
else's perspective of any of theeight comics that were on that stage.
And so all of them walkedout of that looking fabulous.

(13:24):
And because they looked fabulous nowthey can sort of capitalize on that.
I've got comics now getting bookedat other shows because they were
on that stage and that thrills me.
In fact, I did.
It was kind of funny because I've,I've been, I've been at this game
and I've been real focused atthis game for about three years.
And the dream for me at first wasI got to get my own, I got to get

(13:45):
my own headlining hour and I've gotto get my own, like I'm headlining.
It's my show.
Right.
And I've done that.
Probably like 12 times now.
And I just had a show last weekend.
It was a, it was a fun show.
It was a weekend.
The Friday show was pretty great.
The Saturday show sold out.
It was super fun.
And, and as I'm on stage doing myhour, the thing that I've been like,

(14:06):
Oh, this is the thing I've got to do.
I kept, I kept like, and everyone'shaving a good time and it's great.
It's great.
And I kept keep thinking to myself.
This would be way better if this were aRumble, because there's something about
the collaboration and the cooperativeenergy of that thing that we've co created
that's really fun to be involved in.

(14:28):
Well, and that's what's greatabout it, because what you do with
the show, you do a Rumble, uh,you know, is you take energies.
And you bring them together, differentenergies of different people, some
polar opposite considering me andmy competition at the end of the
night, Jason, so polar opposite.

(14:48):
I mean, oh my God, you know, theonly time he and I would be in the
same room is if we met on Grindr.
I mean, you have no idea.
So, honestly.
You know, but it worked because andthis is the one thing I'm not one to
give out advice I mean, I've been doingstand up comedy now for four years, but

(15:11):
I know how long I've been doing wait.
Yeah four years I had to checkmentally So I've been doing it for
four years now, but I don't give outadvice but The one thing I will always
say to anybody is just be yourself.
As outrageous as yourself might be.
Clearly.
Uh, you can't make this shit up.

(15:32):
As outrageous as yourself might be,do it because an audience is going
to root for you ten times more ifyou're just doing your thing as
you and not trying to be anybody.
I think that is one of the thingsthat draws people to comedy is the
is the seeing people in sort of thisabsolute free expression of themselves.

(15:53):
Yeah.
Where they can say, and, and I thinkBecause I, I really believe that,
that there's a really deep, there's areally deep purpose or a deep meaning
underneath what we do as comics.
And it's silly, haha, funny at the top.
It's stupid and fun.
But I think underneath thatthere's actually some really deep

(16:13):
societal and spiritual value.
And I think part of that is that in somany ways in our world, We are, our, our
self expression is restricted, right?
We're told you got to wearthis, got to look like this.
You got to have this job.
You got to drive this color.
There's so much about our worldthat says you got to do this.

(16:34):
And to just be in an environmentwhere someone is up there for really
expressing whatever it is that they think.
And that they're doing it.
And even, even if they don't sayeverything, the, the expectation
is that they can say anything.
So you're in an environmentwhere any kind of expression is

(16:55):
allowed, as long as it's funny.
And, and I think that is.
Yes,
and I'm a big believer in that,especially in the world we live in today.
You know, first off,you've seen me perform.
I'm very no holds barred, you know,and it's funny because I'm very I
think people, you know, I come on stagelooking very put together, and people

(17:18):
expect, oh, he's gonna say a coupleof gay jokes, you know what I mean?
And then my mouth opens, andthey're like, But it's because my
stage, not persona, but stage selfis, let's talk about everything.
Everything's on the table.
And let's talk.
Life is not easy.
Life is hard.
So let's laugh about it.

(17:38):
You know, if I can laugh atme, you can laugh at you and
we can all laugh together.
And that's what it's about.
People talk about like making light.
of things.
I've been told a lot of times on mysocials about post clips on stuff.
Like I did, I made a joke about theday after someone, the day after the
first Trump attempted assassination,which was wild that we had more.

(17:58):
The day after number one, Igot on, it was actually that
night I got on tick tick tock.
And I was like, I made a dumb jokeabout how the secret service should have
yelled like Donald duck or something.
And which I thought was pretty funny,not super smart, but it was right there.
And it had to be said, you know, Go ahead.
I was just going to say, butyou had the balls to say it.

(18:22):
Well, I did.
And, and, and when I, when I, but, butwhat, when people, some of the backlash
that I got, right, a lot of people said,Oh, you shouldn't make light of that.
And I, I love that for, I love thatidea that you shouldn't make light of
something because what comedy reallydoes is it shines a light, right?

(18:42):
It takes the light and it brings it intothe dark again, as long as you're funny.
Right.
And that's sort of the rule.
The rule is you can say anything,but you got to make it funny.
And so if you're going to go into thatdark place, I'll go with you there,
but you sure as fuck better havesome light there at the end of it.
And I think, I think that that is themost powerful thing about comedy for me.

(19:07):
is that if I can laugh at something,it means it doesn't have power over me.
It means I have power over
it.
You are so hammer on the nailwith that because it is so true.
If you can laugh at somethingand say, haha, I do not fear you.
There you go.
Oh, I make jokes.
I make, in my act, I make jokes.

(19:30):
Uh, I call these thenon social media jokes.
The ones that'll never get posted in areel because they're a little too real.
And it's, you know, no punintended, but it's so true.
I, I joke about everything.
I joke about the war.
I joke about the, you know, I don'tget political, but I joke about actual
world events because it happened.

(19:51):
You should remember it happened because,and let's look at it though in a
humorous way so we're not fearful of it.
You know what I mean?
Can we twist it a little bit to remindourselves, not that that thing, not that
that thing is worth making fun of, butthat we are worth being able to laugh.

(20:11):
Right.
We are worthy.
We deserve to be able to notbe weighed down by our burdens.
We, we are worthy of being able to say,no, I'm not going to let that thing.
I'm going to, even though it sucks,I'm going to find something funny
about it so that I can move on.
And so for just, if just for a momentin this crowded comedy club with a
bunch of other people, I don't haveto be scared of that thing anymore.

(20:34):
I can just find it funny.
Yes, exactly.
Find the funny, you know?
Um, there's a great quote thatCarrie Fisher used to say.
And, and she used to say if she playedprincess Leia in Star Wars, I'm sure as
you might know, but she, she was a writer,you know, prolific, brilliant writer.
And she used to say, if my lifeweren't funny, it would just be
true, and that's unacceptable.

(20:54):
And I
think that is the quote every comedianshould live by because it is so good.
It's so true.
Because, you know, youthink of it this way.
My car got broken intoabout a couple of weeks ago.
Uh, nothing was stolen.

(21:14):
They just broke into the car.
And then, of course, I'mgetting dressed for a show.
I go down to the car.
I had not been to my car all day.
I go down to the carand I see it's broken.
Call the police.
Police come up to me.
I'm dressed just like this.
The police say, oh, well, I thinkthey were looking for drugs.
And I'm like, do I looklike I carry drugs?
I look like the mother ofsomeone who OD'd on drugs.

(21:36):
I mean, it's like, what?
You know, so if you can laugh aboutit, that's what it's all about.
You know, it's like people take life,life is not meant, life is meant to be.
to be cared for, but it is not meantto be taken seriously or for granted.
I love that nuance thatit's meant to be cared for.

(21:58):
Yes.
I think one of the most powerfulways you can care about something
is to laugh at or with it.
You're not laughing at it,you're laughing through it.
You're laughing through,laugh through the pain.
Laugh through the heartache.
You know, laugh through the trauma.
I think, and I think that's essentiallyevery comedian is what they're doing.
We're inviting people to our owntherapy session, but through our

(22:21):
therapy session, people will go, Oh.
You know, like your Mormoncousins, who are all straight,
and I adore them, and I love them.
I go to watch football with them anytime.
I mean, I, because, you know, I pray thatsometimes those kinds of guys who have
nothing in common with me, other than thefact that we're both guys, will say, Ah!

(22:44):
You know, he's got a point.
That's funny, you know, like, orthey see some, something of me and
them, you know, whatever that may be.
So that's what it's about.
Yeah, and I think too, that night,like all of them, and I don't know
any of their, I don't know wherethey're at politically or anything.
Well that doesn't matter.
But, but what I know isall of them loved you.

(23:09):
Oh, I loved them.
And what that means then, right,is that, and I think that's why,
that's why comedy is important.
That's why getting into spaces wherethere are people who are different
from you is so vitally important.
Oh, I agree.
You get into those spaces and atfirst, maybe you're like, maybe you're
like a straight white guy sittingin the front row when Seth Robichaux

(23:30):
comes out flamboyant as all fuck.
And at first you're kind of like,I feel this is a lot, but then as
you sort of relax and you loosen upand you laugh, what you realize is.
We're not so different.
No, I'm just like your grandmother.
I mean, it's like, you know,honestly, we're not that different.

(23:51):
We are all human.
We all have feelings.
We all have thoughts.
We all have emotions, you know?
I mean, and so that's the, thatis the whole thing in my act.
At least it's like, be yourself.
I don't care if you're themost boring person on earth.
I mean, I'm not going to call you fordrinks, but I don't care if you're
the most boring person on earth.
Be you and be proud of that fact.

(24:11):
You know what I mean?
Like I always say Is that Ichose to dress like an old whore?
No, it's who I am You know what?
I mean?
I like to be flashy and I like towear pretty things And uh, you know,
that's me and some guys like to go,you know, look pretty Like assholes.
Well, some guys like towear a frumpy t shirt.

(24:34):
Yeah.
Some guys like to wear a frumpy t shirt.
But you know what I mean?
What's funny
too is like, I think that, cause I'm,I'm coming from a background, right,
like them where I'm, I'm very restrictedas a, as a young, as a young child,
and then as I kind of step out in thisworld, I find myself expressing more.
And, and what I, what Ifound that's kind of cool.
is that there's a lot of, there's alot of self expression that humans do

(24:58):
through clothing that gets controlledin really hyper religious societies.
So hyper religious societies reallywant to control the way that you dress.
And I think a big part of that isI, I started, I started expressing,
I started getting more flashy.
I started wearing like red, Youcan't really see it now, but I
get, I'll get my nails painted.
Sometimes I still got a littlebit right there and I love it.

(25:20):
I love having my nails painted.
And for me, it actuallyfeels really masculine.
Like it feels really masculine tohave really bright, flashy nails.
And I'll even get them a little chipped.
So that they're kind of a little messybecause I'm like, look, I'm a, I'm, I got
my nails painted, but I also, I do shit.
I get in the dirt, you
know?
And it feels like a really authenticexpression of, of my being.

(25:45):
And, and I love it.
I love it.
Well, it is, you know, I mean, Ithink the thing is that there's
a really great book out there.
I recommend everybody to read.
It's called The Four Agreements.
Um, and it's about four agreementsto make with yourself that you
will be able to live the life thatyou want in whatever way that is.

(26:05):
Um, and I'm a big believer in, youknow, thank God, knock on wood, you
know, that we live in a free world.
That, you know, is fabulous.
And you can be different.
I wouldn't want everybodyto think like me.
I'd go f ing crazy.
I mean, you have no idea.
I would go insanity.
So, I think it's wonderfulto be who you are.

(26:26):
And let's not forget, in the1930s, you know, Katharine Hepburn
was wearing pants as a woman.
So if a man wants to put on adress, which is actually, I don't
wear dresses because too breezy.
You know what I mean?
But if a man was to dress quoteunquote feminine, it doesn't matter.
Because what I learned in thatbook, The Four Agreements, where
I'm getting at is that when we'reborn, we're born into a world.

(26:49):
Now, this is the author,Don Miguel Ruiz is his name.
I got to give him creditwhere credit's due.
Uh, he, you know, he kind of explainsthis, which is very beautiful.
When we're born, we're born into a societythat is full of quote unquote agreements.
Men should dress like this.
Women should dress like this, you know,uh, uh, mainly, you know, that's only
changed as in really recent times, uh,women stood, stayed home, you know, and,

(27:14):
uh, took care of the house and men didn't.
And of course now we live in a worldwhere obviously we know that's BS.
Anybody can do anything they want to do.
Uh, you know, men with men, womenwith women, anybody can stay
home and anybody can get out andwork, whatever you want to do.
I just have a good creditscore if I marry you.
So anyway, You know, but that's thegreat thing is we we're all allowed to

(27:36):
be who we want to be Uh, and I thinkthe whole world should operate like
that really Within means I mean moralityis a different story, obviously do the
right thing be a good person But it'snot killing anybody if I dress like
i've had too much wine on thanksgiving
Well, and what I found what I found thatI think is interesting is that You When

(27:57):
I allow myself to do whatever I want,like when I just, when I, and I think
when most people do, what I find is Iactually don't want to murder anyone.
I don't want to pillage.
I don't, I don't want to break shit.
I actually know.
Cause then you'd break a nailand then I'd break a nail.
That shit's expensive.

(28:18):
I
actually, I think that humans.
I think that we've been fed a myth.
I think that we've been feda myth that humans are bad.
And I think that humans are actually,I think generally we're pretty
pro, it feels good to be good.
It feels good to take care of people.
It feels good to be kind.

(28:38):
Yes.
Well, kindness is, I'ma firm believer in this.
I mean, unless quite a few exceptions,I don't have to mention, uh,
you know, in the history of theworld, who, cause we all know who
the bad people in the world are.
I mean, we go back to the world war twoand all that kind of craziness, but.
I think at the root of all men and womenand, um, is, uh, you know, goodness.

(29:01):
I think is happiness is we all wantto be that that that's the root of us.
I think as we all want to seek happiness,because if you ask anybody who is,
you know, and I will say, um, becauseof course, unfortunately there are
people out there who suffer with mentalhealth and all these types of things.
And so I, I think, but if youask somebody who is grounded and

(29:22):
rooted in themselves, truly, uh,they will say they want happiness.
You know what I mean?
And then of course, even people who sufferwith depression, they want happiness.
It's just a greater struggle to get there.
Uh,
and a lot of creatives dosuffer with that kind of thing.
I mean, I myself have sufferedwith some of those things.
So I think that that also is partof the creative process as well.
It is that strive, not just to besuccessful creatively, but to be happy.

(29:46):
I think,
I think.
Finish and then I'll go.
Oh no, I was just, I was just curtailingthat with saying, so I, I really
think that's the root of all, all men.
I think that people want happiness.
And I think that, you know, when we, youknow, we live in such a heightened world
that like you said, we're fed a myth.

(30:06):
Well, I think we're also fed so muchfear that to make our minds go, In a
dark place that they should not be.
And so I think it's really importantwhen you wake up in the morning to
really, really, really see the world forwhat it is, which is a beautiful place.
Yeah.
It's a fantastically beautiful place.

(30:26):
Like sometimes, sometimes, especiallywith my, like, cause I, I literally.
I'm coming from like, uh, abackground where we, there, we
had eight kids and a tiny trailer.
Sometimes the electricity didn't work.
Yeah.
I, I understand how thishouse that I'm in, right.
Just the fact that we're speaking togetherthousands of miles away using technology

(30:50):
that neither one of us invented orreally even understands how it works.
No, we are,
we are constantly, we areconstantly being held up.
In this magical embrace of allthe other human creative geniuses
who created this world for us.
And so if you just sort of sit downand, you know, maybe sit in a chair
and just admire the chair that you'rein and sort of look at the view that

(31:14):
you have and sort of be where you'reat, You're in a pretty great spot.
And I think that so many, especiallyat this time in the world, because
the world is in flux, the worldis pretty chaotic right now.
And I think that there are some, there aresome humans, let's call them powerful evil
wizards who are trying to capitalize onthe fear and to heighten the fear to get

(31:37):
us all in this heightened fear response.
Because like any good comic knows.
And emotion is just energy, right?
It's just, if you can get people to aheightened state of energy, you can do
some crazy cool shit with that energy.
And so if you can get a whole group ofpeople riled up in a whole fear state

(31:58):
about what's happening or who's coming orwho's doing what, or whatever, if you can
get them going into this fear response,now you've got a massive human energy
source that you can skillfully manipulate.
To do whatever you want.
And I think that that's what's happeningin, in some parts of our world today.

(32:19):
And I think that's why comedyis so important is that comedy
is the antidote to fear.
If I can laugh at something, I'mnot going to be afraid of it.
And I also think that in additionto that, and this is why I
love having you on the show.
This is why I love surrounding myselfwith people who are different than
me is that one of the ways that we'retrying to make each other afraid right

(32:40):
now is we're tapping into a reallyold primal system in our brains that
says the other tribe is dangerous.
So the other tribe is dangerous.
We got to be afraid of them.
And what we, for what we don'tunderstand is that the other tribe
actually has sets that we need.
The other tribe, that's the powerof a diverse community, is that in a

(33:01):
diverse community, you've got fuckingoptions, because you have more ideas.
If all of us are white people, and we'reall Mormon, and we're all seeing exactly
the same thing, we all think exactlythe same way, the solution to all of
our problems is we'll add another wife.
And you gotta have moresolutions than that.

(33:22):
And that's why you need a black personand a brown person and a gay person
and a straight person and a whatever,whatever, whatever way that we've tried
to slice and dice all of these humans.
We, we need all of those humans becausethey've all got something for us.
They've all got a little nuggetthat they've, they've learned
from their lived experience thatthey can offer to help us heal.

(33:46):
Our world and our world, frankly,is in desperate need of healing.
It's in desperate need of healing.
Yes,
it is in desperate need of healing.
And I think as comedians, any formof entertainment, but especially
comedy, uh, what, what comedyis, is social commentating.
It's talking about things in the world.

(34:08):
As I said earlier, That are going on.
It doesn't have to be political.
You know, everybody alwaysgoes to that automatically.
No, it's not about that.
It could be as simple as,isn't the price a gas?
Without even getting into it, peoplethink, oh, well, it's because of this
or because of that or because, you know,no, stop measuring how long it is with
each other and just talk about that.

(34:30):
People get so worked up over thingsthat in the grand scheme of things,
in the grand scheme of things,I'm not saying it's not important,
but I'm saying, I always say this.
In five years, is it going to matterif I have a problem going on today?
In five years, I had a flat tire.

(34:52):
Is five years going to matter?
No, you know what I mean?
Now, someone died.
That's a bad day.
You know what I mean?
I have a girlfriend of minewho always says a bad day.
Don't ever go and say you have.
Oh, I have a bad day.
No, a bad day is when someone dieswhen you have to get surgery emergency
when you have to that kind of stuff.
That's a bad day, you know, soreally, I think it boils down

(35:12):
to, uh, counting your blessings.
I think it boils down torealizing, like we said earlier,
that life is really a gift.
You know, time, uh, timeis, um, but a thing.
It goes like that.
Uh, before you and I both know it,we'll be I'll be on my second facelift.
You know what I mean?
And so you have to enjoyit and laugh at it.

(35:35):
And I, that, that'sreally what it boils down.
It's a very simple formula.
I think whenever people really breathein, breathe out and realize that.
I love that idea.
I love that you said life is a gift.
I've been, I've been reallyreflecting on the idea of giving.
I've just, I just found this, thisgreat David Byrne song recently.
He talks about, it's, it's about, uh,there's a line in it where he says

(36:00):
life is long if you give it away.
And the idea that like that, and thisis sort of kind of what inspired comedy
rumble, what sort of pushed me out offocusing on myself and focusing on other
people is answering that question oflike, if life is a gift and what, what
I'm here to do is to give that gift.

(36:22):
Away, like to give my life away.
Not in like a weird, like passiveaggressive, like weird, like no,
but in a way where I, like, I,I'm, I'm empowered in myself.
I look at myself and I see the, theabundance that I have, the privilege
that I have, the resources that Ihave, all of the things that, because
if, if you look at, if any personjust stops for a moment and looks at

(36:45):
their life, what they will realize isthat there are, they have some assets.
They have something that they can, andeverybody needs your help in some way.
It doesn't just have to be money.
Right.
And so if you can look at everythingthat you have, and you can say,
okay, with what I have, with thisabundance that I have, that was just

(37:06):
given to me, because like we weretaught, like I didn't make this house.
I didn't invent a,like, don't know, right.
All of this has been freely givento me and now I get to give it away.
You, you will, what you'll findat least what I found is that
suddenly that, that shifts the waythat you orient towards the world.

(37:26):
And what you start to do is youstart to realize that it's all
the game is giving the game is.
How can I give the most abundantgifts to as many people as I can?
And if you're in that energy,it just moves real fast.
Well,
it's a snowball effect.
Do you know what I mean?
Because when you, what youput out is what you get back.

(37:47):
I'm a firm believer in that.
And that doesn't meanyou go out to do good.
That doesn't mean I go out and do good forothers because I want to get it in return.
It's just the karmic effect of the world.
You know, um, And, and it's funnybecause I've, in my life, and I'm
sure as in yours, uh, I've had to cutoff relationships with people that I

(38:08):
really, really, um, I did love, uh,still do care and wish well, uh, but
thought were people that were my people.
And then you have torealize, wait a second.
How does this person, when I leavethis person's aura, how do I feel?

(38:28):
Do I feel enlightenedor do I feel drained?
Because that's a big thing.
Going back to the time is precious thing.
And we're talking about giving,I would like to make that known
to boundaries are a big thing.
And it's okay to say, no, it's okayto say no is the most powerful word
you can say, and yes, is the mostother powerful words you can say.
I think

(38:48):
you can only really give freely.
If you know how to say no.
Yes,
because then you have a gift if, ifyou can say, no, you cannot have this
correct.
Because if you give the gift, yousee, and, and you and I, it will
be the gift of entertainment.
If you give the gift.

(39:08):
And you have those boundaries alreadyin here and in here and in your, I
call this the bubble, your bubble.
If you have your bubble alreadyup and your boundaries up in your
bubble, you will be surprised howmany people who can actually read
a social cue will respect them.
And we'll respect your boundaries,and we'll say thank you for, for

(39:29):
what you gave me, and that's it,you know, they don't, they're not
leeching to you, you know what I mean?
And that goes for us too, you know,for the things that we do, and we, like
you said, we, I mean, it's as simpleas, oh my god, somebody, somebody
created the artwork on this coffee mug.
And now it gets to be a piece in my home.
Somebody painted that painting up there.

(39:51):
And now it gets to be up in my home.
And I get to admire it every day.
Thank you for that.
You know what I mean?
But I'm not going to call the artistand go, Now I want 25 different others.
You know what I mean?
No, you appreciate theart and you thank for it.
So I think that's what it's about.
You know, and I think people want to give.
I personally feel fantastic.
I don't, I do better with givingthan receiving, personally.

(40:14):
Uh, you know, I'm very grateful whensomeone gives me a gift, but it makes
me feel better when I give a gift.
So I, I think it is the root of us ashumans and especially entertainers.
I, I, I, I agree.
And I, I read, I, the, the, you've,you've thrown out a lot of books.
I'll throw one out as well, too,that I've loved called The Go Giver.
And
the essence of that book isreally the idea that humans.

(40:37):
The way that we generate wealth andabundance is through giving, right?
It's not through selling.
It's not through building business.
It's not through any, it is through.
When we give and when we all give, itjust creates this, this incredible spiral
of energy where abundance is created.

(40:57):
And that's the worldthat I want to live in.
No, me too.
And you know what?
Because at the end of the day, um,you know, when we pass on to the
next life, uh, cause I believe inan afterlife, certainly when we go
on, um, to wherever you believe,you know, that we may go, those of
you who, you know, Believe in that.

(41:17):
Uh, I, I always think it's ratherfascinating, cause then there are those
who are left on Earth who were with us inthis life, you know, until they join us.
And so, when you pass on, and youhave a tombstone, there's your
birth date and your death date,and there's a dash in between.
And when people look at that dash, whatI think subconsciously happens is you

(41:40):
go, Wow, this little line represents us.
Everything you did in this lifetime.
So when people look at that, they'renot gonna, that dash, they're not
going to say, oh, I remember so andso had such a great credit score, or
oh, I remember so and so, you know,used to get so smashed every night.

(42:02):
I don't know, you know, they'renot gonna, they're gonna remember
how they made, you made them feel.
Uh, you know, sure they mightremember a gift you got for them,
but ultimately they're going toremember sacrifices that you made for
them and things that you gave them.
And I think, you know, so I alwayshave a saying, make your dash count.
You know, it's like, it goes backto the number one rule as to why I

(42:22):
think you and I are probably bothdoing comedy and entertaining.
Is that we want to give to people inthis lifetime and we want to make a mark.
And I think it is much,people don't realize that.
I think it has much more less to dowith us saying, look at me, me, me.
And more of let me enlightenyou in a way that can free you
of the, the hardships of life.

(42:45):
And that is through laughter for us.
You know, for some people it'sthrough other things, but for
us, it's through laughter.
It's
our channel.
I love that.
Yeah, it's a channel.
It's our, it's our, it's our path.
We are about at time.
So I want to respect that your time.
And I want to maybe close wrapus up by getting into, uh, we
fabulous conversation, by the way.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you.

(43:06):
I'm my pleasure with what we've done.
Um, this is a show about the apocalypse.
And so, um, speaking of lighttopics, speaking of heavy topics.
that need the light shined on them.
We are, um, we are, I, I tell everyonethat we are, um, I'll just give
you the count now if you'd like it.
We are, uh, we are 1, 715days into the apocalypse.

(43:33):
So if you have been feelingstressed, if you've maybe had to
like sell some artwork for rations.
That's why the walls are bare.
There used to be a Picasso right here.
Yeah,
but you gotta, you gottaget the canned food.
I got, oh, well, no, I'm a gay.
I don't eat.
So, you know, but.
Wait, is that a thing?
Is that a stereotype?
Yes.
Are you crazy?
Oh my God.

(43:54):
When I go to West Sea Salt LakeCity, you don't know this thing.
Cause the gays are not there, butyou know, they're not existent.
The gays
are, the gays are.
Buried there in Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City.
Are they?
Salt Lake City is
fabulously gay.
There's a whole street.
See,
no one told me this when I was there.
I just hung around the straight people.
I didn't know.
Next time you're up here, I'lltake you to where the gays are.

(44:14):
I know where they live.
Um, there's like five of them.
They're fabulous.
For real, we'll go to tea together.
It is Salt Lake City isactually, is actually quite gay.
Um, and the reason is, I'm happy.
It is the, it's sort of the Mecca ofIdaho, Utah, Wyoming, parts of Colorado.
Like if, if you're in ruralanywhere in the, in the West,

(44:39):
You end up in Salt Lake City.
Got
moved to Salt Lake City, yep.
Uh, well, no, it's true,but you gays don't eat.
When I go to West Hollywood,oh my god, with all the gay men
there, oh, you have no idea.
They look as thin as I look.
How do you do that?
How are they so what?
Like, jacked.
Like, because they don't eat.
Because they don't eat, and theygo to the gym, and I go, and every

(45:04):
time, I've gone to many clubs in WestHollywood, not one man has hit on me.
Do you understand what this does for me?
Not one man.
Everybody else, you know, mygay boyfriends, they get hit on.
Do you know what happens to me?
They come up to the barand say, Excuse me, Ms.
Jenner, can I have your autograph?
Well, um, I love your daughter, Kim.
I hope that my entire family hittingon you last weekend made up for that.

(45:28):
It gave me such joy.
You can't even compare it.
So on the subject of the apocalypse,there, there are sort of two
questions that I like to ask people.
And so the one is on a, on a seriousnote, um, and you can actually make
this funny if you want to, becausewe, you know, we make, we make the
funny serious or the serious funny.
Uh, I, I think when I talk about theapocalypse, what I really mean is I

(45:53):
think apocalypses are a part of this.
That's part of the cycles ofhistory, meaning that correct.
Every so often I see we builda civilization up to a certain
point and then it kind of crumblesand and then a new thing is
reborn from the ashes of that.
And I think that's how I see it.
Yeah, is that we are.
This is the crumbling.
Um, the way I like to imagineit is if you ever seen like a

(46:14):
video or a movie of an avalanche.
Yeah,
where there's this moment wherethere's almost like this crack
and the whole mountain kind ofcracks, slides, all slides down.
Right.
So, yeah.
Covid three years ago, right?
1,700, 14 days ago.
That was, that was the big crack.
The world crack.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
Everything that's happened sincethen has just been the, the slide.

(46:37):
Right.
And we're in the slide right now.
And I think that that is actually areally, even though it's scary, even
though there's a lot, there's a lot to beafraid of for sure right now, especially
if you are, I think, especially if youpresent yourself as different from the
norm of America, I think that right nowis a little bit, is a little bit scary.

(47:00):
I don't know what you're talking.
I am as
normal as the day is long.
You are as normal.
And I love that.
And, um, I, I also just, I also wantto just say that's my world, right?
Like I, I demand to live in a world whereall of the normals of all different kinds.

(47:20):
Oh yeah.
To be here, right?
Yeah.
Well, I
mean, well, really what isnormal at the end of the day?
Let's talk about what was normal.
I mean, you know, I could go down thelist right now and I guarantee you.
Oh, the normal is not
normal, not normal.
But, but I do think that we are,we are faced right now with a

(47:41):
really beautiful opportunity.
And the opportunity isthat things are shifting.
Things are in flux.
And so there are parts of the old world.
that we can let die or maybeperhaps smother in a pelt with
a pillow on their deathbed.
And then there are, there are maybenew things that we want may want
to be born into the new world.

(48:02):
And so I'm just curious from yourperspective, Seth, uh, what are,
what are the parts of the oldworld that you hope to be reborn?
Kind of we let go of.
And what are you hoping webirth into this new world?
What do I hope we letgo of in the old world?
Oh God.
Let me think.
Uh, the Kardashians.

(48:23):
Oh, I, oh, I'm sorry.
I have no, I have notime for them anymore.
No.
What do I think we letgo of in the old world?
Uh, you know what?
I don't think I'm being serious.
I don't think it's let go of, it'senlighten in the new, um, cause I'm
a big believer is you can only learnto go forward if you look at where,

(48:44):
if you look at where you've been.
So don't let go in the sense offorget, um, let go in the sense of, um.
Oh, I can learn from that.
I can learn how to be better from that.
I think all prejudice should be let go.
I think it's not necessary, certainly.
Uh, and not because I'm, you know,if you couldn't tell, a raging

(49:04):
homosexual, but also because Ithink that, who has time for it?
I mean, my God, I have so much hair.
You can't be prejudiced.
I'm busy.
I'm too busy doing my hair andmakeup and cleaning my bunker.
I have too much.
Things to do, you know what I mean?

(49:25):
Like, I just, in Star Wars, wasYoda prejudice, and that's 5,
000 light years in the future.
No.
You know what I mean?
He took a dumb kid, showed him how touse a dumb sword, and he saved the world.
I mean, that's
history.
Exactly.
So, I mean, my point is, is, uh,yeah, so that's what I would let go.
I would say everybody who is aprejudice, uh, with all love and due,

(49:49):
uh, respect, uh, go fuck yourself.
No, I, I, no, seriously.
I, I just think Actually,seriously, go fuck yourself.
Like, go Well, no, but when I say go fuckyourself, I don't mean Less prejudice.
Well, but I don't mean in the way thatthey are gonna say, Oh, look at this.
No, I don't mean in an aggressive way.
I mean, go educate yourself.

(50:10):
I mean, go make something better ofyourself because you are worth it.
You're worth being better.
You're worth being smarter.
You're worth being more educated.
That's what I mean when I say go fuck.
I don't mean get off the earth.
I mean, just, you know, we'reall given gifts in this lifetime.
Every single one of us, um, you know,and well, except for Pee Wee Herman,

(50:32):
but we won't go there, but uh, God resthis soul, but I'm kidding, but honestly,
that's what it's about, is uh, betteringyourself, and so, taking that around,
that's what I would take into the new, isto say, I'm just gonna live my life And be
a good and loving person, give to others.

(50:53):
Uh, sure we make mistakes, we'rehuman, we're not meant to be perfect.
That's why anybody who putsanybody on a pedestal, so silly.
Everybody makes mistakes.
Um, so allow people to makemistakes and learn from them.
That's what I would say going in.
Allow yourself to be humanand, uh, to be a good human.
And that's all that you need, I think.

(51:16):
And believe, and believe in yourself.
For God's sake, don't let anybody,that's, anybody going forward in this,
in your bunker, anybody in your bunker,when they tell you you can't open
that can of beans, you can open it.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I can't promise you can holdin the gas, but you can do it.
So just be yourselves.

(51:36):
Remember you can do anything you setyour mind to, especially if you feel it
in your, in your intuition, in your gut.
Because that's what that, that I,I call it your heart, but you know
that, that that's what it's about.
So really that, you know, it,it's two, uh, very simple rules.
I know they're not as dramatic as one
should hope, but you know, Ithink, I think that's perfect.
I think that, I think that that isexactly, 'cause it's actionable.

(51:59):
It's, it's what 'cause, 'cause we,together, humans acting, doing, that's
what's going to make the new world.
And if we're all acting from that place,what a beautiful world we'll create.
And don't rain on, and forGod's sake, this is also what
I mean when I say prejudice.
It's not just about peoplewho are, hate people.

(52:20):
Just don't rain on anybody's parade.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
My God, you know, your friendshas no taste in clothes?
Let them find out on their own.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Find, find something.
'cause it's not just like, there'slike, there's like big capital H hate
and then there's like lowercase H hate.
Yes.
And, and lowercase h hate islike, is like just be a send, send

(52:44):
some positive energy out there.
You Exactly.
You'd be shocked.
The power of just like, I'll walk down,I'll walk around and I'll just compliment
little things that I notice about.
I do the same thing.
Do you notice?
I love your necklace.
I love, and it's little things that I see.
And the little, the thing that happensto that human where they're just
like, cause they did that on purpose.

(53:06):
And
yes, and you made someone's day.
Think about that.
Think about how, how great that reallyis at the end of the day, that you
could tell someone working, let'ssay you go for ice cream and you tell
the girl working at the register, uh,our guy, uh, that he is great nails.
And you can make his day or her day.

(53:27):
You can make their day by that little cut.
They could have beenhaving the shittiest day.
Their aunt could have died andyou could have made it better.
So just spread kindnessat the end of the day.
You know, it's like, um, don't, don'ttalk about people behind their back.
Uh, don't say it to their face.
If you have something to sayto them, you know what I mean?
And, uh, say it from a constructive pointof view, say, Oh, you know, I don't really

(53:48):
agree that you did this, but I'm goingto choose to say, that's you, not me.
So it's all about perspective.
It's all about wording.
Um, and I think we as comicsknow that the most part.
I think it's all about deliveringand the way you deliver a line, our
word or a compliment or an insult.
Right.
And so, you know, like people say tome, people say, Oh, sometimes you're

(54:11):
on stage and you can be very insulted.
And it's like, no, I'm not being insulted.
I'm not saying anything inmy thoughts and opinions.
That anybody hasn't thought.
My comedy is very no holds barredbecause everything I talk about
is something that I know if peoplereally dig down and deep and think.
Even if it's about popculture, we're all thinking.

(54:32):
And it's okay, because the person who'smaking 20 million dollars does not give a
damn that I made a joke about them either.
That's the point of a joke.
Yeah, that's the point of it.
That's where you get into moral,uh, you know, consciousness of
there's a joke and then there's anactual hate and insult, you know,
and they're two different things.
So that's really what I preachto people is, uh, they're,

(54:55):
they're two very simple things.
So that's when I use the word prejudice.
It's as simple as this.
Don't hate, go into thenew world with love.
That, that is the two.
It's as
simple as the
day is long.
Last question for you aboutthe apocalypse is this.
Thrilled.
Do you have any, like, useful apocalypticskills that you could teach me?

(55:16):
Oh, yes!
It doesn't mean that you just, oh,excellent, download it quickly to me.
What do you got?
Down, lip gloss,
number one, all I, uh, and cause youknow, the lights are dim, so you never
have a mirror, like, I'm, this iscandlelight in front of me right now, but
when you apply your lip gloss, you don'teven have to look, always just follow
the line of the lip and just feel it.

(55:38):
And then you do this andfeel the bow of your lip.
The bow.
So the bow is, I don't have lipgloss, but it's like right here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just feel it where you go alittle bit up and you, you just go.
See?
Oh my God.
Yes.
You felt that you feel thelittle top of your lip.
And what that does is it actually,if you, cause some people just
choose to put lips, lip gloss righthere on like their actual lip.

(56:02):
But if you go on the actualline, You're lining your lips
and it makes them look fuller.
And when the rescue crews comeand they see between you and the
person who hasn't shaved theirlegs, you're on the helicopter
first.
I love it.
Fantastic skill.
Now I know.
My lips will be fabulous.
Look,
look good in the apocalypsebecause you know what?

(56:25):
At the end of the day, and this is saidwith every ounce of love in the world,
at the end of the day, if a firefighterhas to pick between this face that has
been injected Quite a few more timesthan maybe even Michael Jackson's breast.
If a firefighter has picked betweenthat face and, you know, no offense, but

(56:46):
someone who hasn't shaved in about a longtime, they're going to pick the face.
You're
getting rescued a hundred percent.
Yeah.
Well, no, because it's not, andit's not that I'd see, look, I'm
going to get hate mail for this.
I'm going to get told, oh, youshouldn't tell me not to shave.
I'm just saying, they're notgoing to know it's your legs.
They're going to think they'rein the middle of the forest.
They're not going to have any idea.
They're not going to have any idea.

(57:07):
One
look at me and they're Thisguy obviously can save himself.
Did they think you're a caveman?
It's, it's not about if you want, don'twant to shave in a post, you know, when
we're back to a normal world, fabulous.
But in an apocalypticworld, things matter.
Looks matter.
You know what I love about thatis that, that it's really true.
And that's why, like, in all ofthe apocalyptic movies, everybody

(57:30):
eventually gets like their apocalypticgetup and they look You have to.
You have to.
You
have to look good.
Yes.
Well, because here's the way I look at it.
You know what I mean?
If I was in the Titanic, if I was, Iwould have gotten in a lifeboat before
any of the damn women on that ship,even because I look more like a woman

(57:52):
than they did back in those days.
They would have given you a lifeboat.
They would give me a boatbecause you know why?
Look, at the end of the day, Ithink it boils down to one thing.
And like I say, we, I say thiswith every ounce of love and
everybody deserves all the love.
One thing at the end of the day,humans, humans, humans are vain as shit.

(58:14):
So true.
With love.
We love each other.
Be who you want to be.
I love that we're vain.
Yeah, do what you wanna do.
Don't shave.
But in the post-apocalypticworld, I'm just warning you,
it might bite you in the ass.
I agree.
Or not bite you in the ass.
Or, or not bite you in the ass.
Bite you in the forest, because it'swhat it looks like, . Oh my God.
