(00:00):
Yeah, is a dean. Hey, how are you sounds out in La
You guys haven't oh suns out now? Actually just been it is the weather
here is always. I'll look atyou with your cat mug. Yeah.
Oops, yeah, mhmm. Isaid that's good. Yeah, no,

(00:24):
it's not too bad. I wokeup super early today at like six.
Why. I like to get mydrugs early. Oh good, that's good.
Just get the fuel going in yoursystem, right into your veins.
Yeah, you know, it powersme through the year. Hm. That's

(00:45):
good. Yeah. They get yougoing and they don't sedate you. Yeah,
you know. I like my milkin the morning, like Michael Jackson
Purple Fall. How are you dressedup for auditions? I just assume you
have an audition every time I seeyou. No, I did all my
auditions yesterday, and then I gotan offer on a movie. And it's

(01:08):
really fun because it's kind of likewhat I've been working on as an actor
of like shifting my wheelhouse, becausejust really knowing what you play and honing
into that and knowing that it maychange as you age. And so I've
been really working on like, Okay, I played this character really well.
Now you know, I'm older,I'm not playing certain characters, and so

(01:32):
she's exactly what I'm trying to book, which makes me feel like, Okay,
I'm doing the work, and youknow I can act. I know
I can act. I mean,there's always room to work on that creatively.
I don't know if it's necessarily toget better, but to be,
you know, to dive deeper.But working on like knowing how to market

(01:55):
yourself and brand yourself is important,like knowing your wheelhouse. I never book
like down and like done hard bycharacters. So I'm not gonna go and
try and do a photo shoot inyou know, a flannel and like trying

(02:19):
to look like I'm down and hardto I'm not gonna get cast in that.
It's just not my wheelhouse, Sowhy even try with that character?
Anyways, long story short, Ivery specifically want to play either like the
sci fi magical like Queen Princess,or like some kind of like mystery woman

(02:42):
or working in like those types ofmystical elements, or I play like the
drug dealer's wife or like this highsociety wife or woman. It's kind of
all I get cast in at myage, so I the more I narrow
into that. I book that stuff. How it works? Do you believe

(03:02):
like manifestation and stuff like pointing acertain direction. I think that we are
very powerful beings. I think thatprayer is something real and whether you however
you want to go about it,but the words that come out of your

(03:22):
mouth have power to them, soyou can make things a reality. It's
just you know, it's controversial withlike you that power to or where is
that power coming from? And whatentity you know, like, oh,
you're in Hollywood, like did yousell yourself? I don't know. There's

(03:42):
a lot of controversy with that.I kind of find prayer bullshit nowadays,
but that's just where I am inmy life. You know. My U,
my dad and his girlfriend like droveto like a Hindu temple and I
was like, I'm sitting in thecar, and there was a time in
my life where I used to likebe all into it and I was like,

(04:05):
I think I pad every day andthen something that switched to me and
now I can't. I can't evenlike fake it. I was like,
I can't do this. So butI do think having a belief system is
important to keep you going no matterwhat it is Oh my goodness. I
think they just released a study onlike if people are happier if they feel

(04:28):
that they're a part of something biggeror else. Your life really it's kind
of meaningless, and you depression hitsyou harder if you don't have a full
spiritual life or you know a group, a religious group that you identify with.
It's it's like you're like the positive. I'm like the negative of this.

(04:50):
Like I went to UCLA yesterday.I was walking around to play tennis
and I was just watching all theseUCLA kids and they're all in their twenties,
and I was like, this isthe spirit. You can just feel
the energy there and they all justhave this hope in their eyes and just
was like and I was kind ofdepressed actually because I was, you know,

(05:10):
like the people in their lives whoare alive, and it just it's
a very just precarious moment that's sofleeting, but you don't even know when
you go through it. When you'rein your twenties, you were like,
oh, it isn't crazy, it'sit was surreal. And I was like,
I got to get out of here. So it was that was my
yesterday. Well, we're getting older, we see life differently. We see

(05:35):
I was just on a walk withStuart, my husband, and I say,
gosh, I look at photos ofmyself even five years ago, and
I'm like wow, like I wasdoing really good. And He's like,
you're gonna think that at every stage, So just enjoy the stage you're in.
Yeah, no, for sure,because you know twenty years from now

(05:58):
will be you know whatever. Whatever. You're going to walk into a room
of forty something year olds in ten, fifteen years, and you're going to
think what you thought about when thirtysomething year olds, Yes, thirty something
year olds. You're gonna think,wow, what this is? Like how
I felt about those college kids.So it's just life. I mean,

(06:19):
we're here for such a short amountof time. It's so fleeting. Do
you believe in after Let I haveto make this too like cooky, But
do you think it's an afterlife?Do I think there's an afterlife? Do
I know? No? Do Ibelieve in it? Yeah? You have

(06:41):
to believe in it or else itsucks that we disappeared. Yeah, Yeah,
it's interesting sometimes they go down theserabbit holes like tiktoks, because I
see people who are like crossed overon the other side and some of their
some of them are like and thenthese elves come up with me with like

(07:01):
hoods and they were like, welcomeback, Jimmy, and like hey,
and I knew they knew my names. Like this is kind of I think,
Well, DMT will do that toyou. You release DMT when you
die, okay from CEWiT Charry Gland, And the DMT you release when you
die is similar to the DMT,not ayahuasca. That's that's not the same

(07:28):
DMT. But there's an organic DMTthat comes from a frog or a toad
or something. And if you dothat DMT that's very organic and similar to
the one that people experience when they'rehaving a near death experience and people see
those same entities if you read abouttheir encounters on that, I think it's
five me eo. DMT is likethe molecular makeup of that specific DMT,

(07:55):
which is different from the ayahuasca DMT. If you wanted the DMT. Reach
out to Shasia and her magical codes, She's like, I just read a
lot of stuff, you know.I'm very curious about people and their journeys
and living in la and being aroundall these like Tipanga hippie types, which

(08:20):
is where I lived, and everyonedoing these ceremonies and everyone having a shaman.
I was like, what is goingon? So I researched it and
I just went down those rabbit holesof like what are these people seeing?
What are what's changing in them?What's shifting in them? Why are they
talking about these things? So haveyou read have I done it? No

(08:45):
help? My friends have done thisLSD therapy and they were like it was
life changing. I read a lotabout that, even with like ecstasy,
like they microdose it. You sitin the waiting room, you take a
micro and then you go in withthe therapist and you like it's like a
one and done. Sometimes for somepeople I'm dealing with their demons. But

(09:09):
I think what it just does isit takes down your walls. And I
don't know that you necessarily need likethese hallucinogenic drugs to do that, or
these psychoactive drugs to take down yourwalls. I think some people do,
though, but others don't. Microadjoicingis such a twenty first century word,

(09:33):
Like if you said that in theeighties, I'm gonna go microdose, Like
what maybe it is a commonplace whereI've never been a big druggy though in
general, but I feel like thatcould improve my life vastly, maybe if
I just or I've seen it ruinpeople's lives. I've seen people start doing
those ayahuasca ceremonies and like, Idon't know what portal they put themselves into,

(09:56):
but they've lost their home, theirjobs, their families, their marriages.
They're like, I'm going to livethe van life. And then then
during the van life they contracted somekind of fungus and had to get their
foot ampy. Like I have seensome crazy likes from success to homeless on
some of these d MT people.So and I'm not, and I've seen

(10:20):
people who are, like it changedmy life. Yes, I found God,
I found spirituality, and that's great, But I think that there's your
risk of just not knowing, notknowing what you're going to encounter, Like
could you encounter darkness? Yeah,could you encounter light? Maybe? I
don't know. Well, there's abig thing right now with fentanyl in LA

(10:46):
So if you do coke, you'rein danger of overdosing and fenil because they're
lacing it and people are dropping dead. Left and right, so you can't
even do in LA. I mean, what is going on? The freedoms
are being restricted now with pentmal poisoning. It's just it's such a shit show

(11:07):
here. Yeah, I think youand I are probably the least qualified people
to be having a conversation on drugs. Why, I mean, why not?
I mean the other stuff's so boring. You know, A friend of
mine was saying that he's in thecomedy scene, and he was like,
you know, like hanging out thecomedy store back in twenty twelve thirteen.

(11:31):
You network by doing drugs with othercomedians, like people got on shows like
writing staffs, and you know,even like Joe Rogan like smoke pot and
stuff. People I'm not on.I shouldn't say the name, but I
mis saying people network by doing partydrugs with not legal drugs, but just
being that type of personality. Whileif you're clean cut and going home at

(11:54):
nine o'clock. You know, soyou can go back to why I never
made it. That's why I'm nota household I was. I don't even
drink. That's why I'm saying I'mthe least most least qualified person to be
talking about the drug scene or theparty scene. I've been to parties,
I've been around drugs. You don'tdrink. I don't drink anymore. Now,

(12:18):
when did you stop drinking? Idon't know that. I never really
liked alcohol to begin with. Itwas never my jam. I was always
like pretending, you know, ifI'm at the party, like oh yeah,
I have, and then just likedumping it out because I don't like
the way I feel on it.And finally, maybe four or five years
ago, I was like, well, let's just see if I just start

(12:39):
saying no, and I just feelbetter. I don't know, I'm still
still people think I'm drunk all thetime. Are like Shasya so much fun
and she was first one on thedance floor, she's doing karaoke, But
I'm like, I'm totally sober.I just I'm just fun. I don't
know. I don't like the wayI feel on alcohol. I don't like

(13:00):
that I can't sleep, and sleepis so important to me, and it
really messes with my sleep cycle.When I was dating a lot, more
alcohol was essential. I felt like, you know, when you're both wasted,
it's a lot more fun, butnot wasted, but just buzzed.
But it's about walls, you know. We're so I feel like people have

(13:22):
even bigger walls right now because we'reless social. We're behind these screens.
There's just walls all around us,and it's hard to have a real human
connection with another person in a relationshipwhen you have all those walls. Set
probably takes down the walls for you. And I'm in mine, so I'm

(13:43):
always in a box. Maybe yes, I say that. No, I'm
just saying it's it's there's a lotof freedom in drugs and alcohol, which
I get, and there's also numbnessto it too, which I also understand,
kind of numb feelings because sometimes Ifeel like I work just to numb

(14:09):
emotion, like it just numbs everythingelse. So I'm like, well,
if I just focus my energy here, So if you're not doing that,
if you just smoke up or something, I can see that distracting you from
the reality of life. Yeah,it's a total escape. Yeah. I
had someone ask me last night.So I was at this birthday party and

(14:31):
I met this couple for the firsttime. They were sitting across from me,
and they said something something about drinking, and I said, oh,
I don't drink. And the husbandwas like, how do you deal with
life? He's like, you don'tdo anything. You don't smoke pot,
you don't drink, Like what doyou? How are you handling everything?
And I'm like, my spiritual life, my ability to connect with God,

(14:54):
I don't know. I mean Ido have a strong belief system and good
circle of people that are in myspiritual network that that really lift me up.
So I don't need the alcohol orthe drugs. But I'm not speaking
for everybody, you know, Iunderstand people. Everyone's different, everyone functions
different. You remember Dare grown upDari. It's like Nancy Reagan's like,

(15:22):
keep off drugs. It was like, don't I forget the it's the acronym
there, dar Oh, yes,Dare to keep Oh I thought it,
Yes, Dare. That was likebig in our childhood. M hm it
was Nancy Reagan. Yes, thatwas her big initiative. So whenever I
am tempted to do drugs, alwaysthink about Nancy Reagan. What would Nancy

(15:45):
Reagan say to me? Right now? Wow, that's a creepy visual.
That's what happens in your mind.Yeah, it's kind of crazy, it's
kind of funny how like that's solike ancient not to talk about ancient history,
but like all that stuff. Likewhen I was a kid, I
was that Reagan be president forever,because he's always president when I was in
elementary school. And then to getolder, like things change. This is

(16:10):
too nostalgic. I shouldn't be talkingabout the past. I gotta live in
the present, Shazia like you,I gotta go hiking and I don't know,
pray, pray, surrender, gofor a walk in nature. I
had a couple the other night.We went out with this other couple and
she was kind of He's like,oh, you remind me of my mom.

(16:33):
I was like, oh, whatdoes that mean? You know?
And the wife was like, no, You're always looking for the positive.
Like you're like, look at themoon, it's so beautiful, or look
at how gorgeous this day is,and just like things that everyone's taking for
grantedge you're noticing. And I'm like, yeah, I make an effort to
make sure I see the positive andthings that doesn't come without like me making

(16:56):
a choice to see the good.So you're never affected by darkness. Oh
I'm not going to say that,but I'm aware of it when I am,
and I'm quick to shift the tide. See, I don't know.
I feel because I feel like thedarkness feels my comedy though it's like comedians.

(17:21):
I mean, yes, it does, that's true. That's seriously why
I'm not medicated, because I feellike I don't want it to fuck up
my comedy. I'm like, I'drather deal with the demons I face as
long as I'm writing funny things.You know, that could be a messed
up thing, but that's your Thatsounds like you've made a deal with the

(17:41):
dark side. Sure, that's whyPath of the Devil, But that's the
sacrifice I feel like you have tomake as a comic. You gotta double
down, and I'm going to bepraying for you. Well. I mean
it also bleeds into like I wantto be like authentic. I don't want
to have some I cannot stand peoplewho just put on this fake persona.

(18:03):
I can't be around with people Ican't, Especially in Hollywood. You're just
surrounded by people who who don't knowthemselves and who got to put on like
a You're just not I don't evendon't even waste my time. I think
that's As you get older, too, we start to really be like,
no, I don't. My timeis so precious that I can't be around

(18:26):
someone who's not who hasn't circled there. I don't know how to describe it,
just who hasn't come to a pointin their life where they're like,
this is me, love it orleave it. And that's why I'm saying
a person doesn't have to be perfect, but they have to be like no,
like I have imperfections, but thisis where I'm at. Do you

(18:52):
find like when you act it's anescape from your real life effort? Actors
say that it depends on the role, you know, And that's what I'm
trying to create. U like areal and headshots that do put me in
like more of a fantasy world.I like, h it's just fun.

(19:15):
Every time I talk to you,I think I should never be an actor
again, should never act in anythingagain, because I'm like, I had
no interest at all in just tryingto. I guess I don't know fit
somebody else's vision. But then Ifeel like you have to do that.
I mean, that's why this wholepodcasting thing, I feel like has changed

(19:37):
everything. Like people, Oh mygod, this Kat Williams thing. You
know, the Kat Williams interview heatedwith You've heard about the Kat Williams comedian
tell me, I don't know,I'm not that hip right now, tell
me all right. So it's gotten'slike a quarterback or ex football player does
his podcast online and he had hiscomedian Kat Williams come on and Kat Williams

(19:59):
is destroyed. Everybody like all thesefamous comedians like, oh I did hear
about this? Okay? Yes?So since then, I feel like there's
been this trickle down effect where likeeverybody's just like fuck it, I'm just
gonna say whatever the hell I wantto say. Now, you know,
like people are just blasting each other, like just speaking their truth. It's
almost like this, dude, it'salmost too much. Now, it's like

(20:21):
open Pandora's box, Like everybody's justspouting out shit and it's like, holy
shit, Like this never happened tenyears ago. People are more concealed about
their brand and how they come across. Now everybody's like, yo, I'm
just gonna say this because it's gettingthem huge. Example, Shane Gillis hosted
SNL last night. Right this comedian, I would say the funniest comic in

(20:44):
the world. But he's definitely likethe antithesis of like a mainstream comedian.
And I was like, he's onthere because SNL knows he has an audience
which is not the cookie cutter,blue collar mainstream people. Right. So
it's almost like I'm saying, they'rechampioning these voices now if you're just somewhat

(21:04):
against the grain. People are gravitatingagain, changing marketing, changing trends in
society. Oh, completely, absolutelythey are. Yes, I agree,
And the more controversial or crazy youcan call out someone, then more of
a platform you get. And Idon't know, I think a part of

(21:26):
it is good because I think thatit does kind of bring everything out to
the surface, right, and peoplearen't pretending, so you get to like
be like, Okay, this iswho you are. I get to decide
now if I support you or don'tsupport you. So part of it is
good. But then it's like,why did the pendulum always have to swing

(21:47):
all the way over before, likeor over here? And it's like,
wait, we missed the middle?Where all the way over here? Now?
I mean, like where is themiddle? That's what we need?
We need the middle, you know, it's it's suddenly like Republican is so
Republican and Demo is like, whathappened? Where did we get so extreme?

(22:07):
Yeah, there's no middle. Italways goes to crazy land where everyone
goes nuts and that's yeah everything,yeah, everything. I'm like, okay,
how did we go? Like it'slike trends in even fashion or like
you know, like the BBL.I'm like, what what it looks?
Crazy people? What is BBL?The Brazilian butt lift? Like Kim Kardashian

(22:32):
like the like it's overdone, it'stoo much. Yeah, just it's okay.
Yes, curbs are good. Curbsare good. We went from like
super skinny did like just what happenedin the middle. I don't know,
not the switch topics, but likeI don't find those girls attractive at all.
This is one girl who I alwayssee, like in my scene and

(22:59):
I swear to god, she thinksshe's like the most beautiful thing, and
she looks so fake to me,and I'm like I cannot even It's like
I can't, I can barely lookat her. I was like, I
hate this whole I missed more bynatural beauty at this point? Do you
mean like in the face too,because it's now it's trending to get everything
everything. It was her face,her breast, her body. I was
like Jesus Christ's like, is anythingreal? Like? But that's the I

(23:23):
guess that's the trend in LA.You know, the lips, the lip
thing. I don't understand that atall. I think it's going out.
I think the lip thing is trendingout. I think a lot of people
are getting all of that stuff dissolved. Is that from the Kardashians? Is
that why people got that? Oh? I think the Kardashians really brought a
lot of this cosmetic stuff to mainstream, and I think it's starting to go

(23:51):
out now. And now the trendsare more about skin and clean and natural
and fit and healthy. I dosee it, like in the marketing world,
going more back to that, alot of my self tapes will say
nobody overly made up, no makeup, no fillers. A lot of the
breakdowns just say it right there.It's kind of an impressive like Elon Musk

(24:18):
like had a huge effect obviously ontechnology and cars have changed society, but
entertainers, they have such an effecton the way our appearance. Like remember
Jennifer Aniston like I was cutting herhair, like Jennifer anf for like what
Like it's so powerful, like whatwe see and it affects people globally,
like these shows are streamed everywhere andyou see, Yes, it's mine control.

(24:47):
Do you limit that program? Theycould program us to do anything if
they made it trendy? Do youlimit that with your kids? Not talking
about your kids, but are youself aware of like what's what they take
in? Yeah? Absolutely, Mykids don't do screen time during the week.
We watch family stuff together Friday nights, like they're out riding bikes right

(25:08):
now, they're going to play golflater. We try and keep them active
and engaged. They don't have socialmedia, they don't have phones, and
they ask for it. I thinkmy thirteen year old may like to have
access to something, but no,they know they know our views and that

(25:30):
we but we also just keep thembusy so they're not asking for it.
We do active parenting, which,let me tell you, is hard.
It's like, where's my time?But this is my time? But yeah,
we were always Stuart's such a gooddad, you know, he's that

(25:52):
dad who's playing in the street.He's got the game going on, He'll
take him to the park, he'llfly heights, but he needs to be
active. So he's one of thosepeople that's built to be a good dad.
Yeah, I hear that. I'dbe like, I'd be a horrible
dad. I'd be like, youtake your kickball, go outside for eight
hours in him back. Yeah.Well see, it's it is a personality

(26:15):
thing. Like even when I metStuart, he doesn't like just sitting at
home. He's not like someone whohas down time on a couch. He's
always doing something that's good. Yeah, were you self aware of that when
you're looking for a mate a reproducer? Not at all. I mean I

(26:37):
don't even know what parenting would belike. My parents weren't like giving me
advice about parenting. You know.They were like immigrants who are barely surviving,
trying, you know, working theirbutts off. So I just lucked
out with that aspect of it.But I do think that as a woman

(26:57):
looking for a husband or you lookingfor a wife, if it does make
a different. If you're both kindof incluse, like recluse types who stay
at home, it's going to beharder to keep the kids out and about
and active and engaged and the energylevel of kids is so different. But
it worked with Stuart. Yeah,I'm like my wife was recluse. We

(27:22):
should like start a cult or somethingwould be good cult leaders. Yesulse like
I'm not the isn't Texas have likea big cult thing like David? I
always thinking of David Koresh're the guywho like, oh, right in Waco?
Was he in Waco? Yeah?I don't know. Yeah, with
the Nike sneakers and everybody's like wearingNike sneakers and they all kill themselves.

(27:47):
Was that here? Was that inSan Diego? Oh? Maybe that's different.
There was a cult that were theNike sneakers. I thought they were
the San Diego people. I thinkthe Waco people like burned. I don't
know, I should know more arethe only I did watch that cult about
up in Oregon with O Show.Did you watch that? No? I

(28:08):
know I've heard of the Oh Showthing. It's his little excerts like he
was crazy, Yeah, talk aboutpeople like derogatory Like I was like,
okay, all right, I hadno idea that was even happening in the
eighties on the coast. It doesn'tsurprise me even like that big grim yoga

(28:33):
that made the whole thing the hotyoga thing. How he's like this culpish
people look for salvation. They're looking, everyone's looking. That's why there is
something to it. But there's otherpeople praying on the people looking. And
no, I don't mean praying,I mean like looking to harm them and

(28:56):
take from them and like like umpireslike human vampires. Yeah, but you
can also argue I mean society.I've seen people join companies and they drink
the kool aid of the company forlike fifty years, right, not to
like that's totally harmless, but likethat's my pessimistic side, but I'd see

(29:17):
people at these companies like, dude, can you just see like what's going
on here? Like you have togo all in, not saying they're called,
but you know what I'm saying,like just buying into something and just
not having the independent thought to thinkfor yourself. That's why you first have
to figure out where you are atspiritually before you join some kind of group.

(29:40):
But that's what does spiritually mean?Like what your belief in is in
God, the afterlife, what youbelieve happens, Who are you connected to?
Why are you here, What isyour purpose or what could be your
purpose? You don't have to knowyour exact life purpose, but like what

(30:03):
gifts were given to you? Whatare you naturally good at? What are
you happiest doing? What brings youjoy? Where is the love in your
life? Are you carrying around regretor anger towards people like that step when
you carry that around, that'll justhold you back in itself, like forgive
people, love people, love yourself, look for the good in yourself,

(30:29):
and then think about what your purposecould be. That's too much shit,
honest to God. Like I waswalking. I was walking through UCLA yesterday
and I was soda pressed. Iwas like, so I stopped at the
tennis courts. It was like night. It was really beautiful, And the
revelation I had was like, Idon't have to be anything or do anything

(30:49):
like I can just I can geta job of Trader Joe's as I wanted
to go day to day and justexist and that's good enough. I don't
have to put this pressure on myselfto do it thing, to be a
good son, to be some greatcomedy like all that stuff is just it's
like this crushing compacter on you andjust it's burdensome. I think it's how

(31:10):
you view it honestly. For me, I feel like I see the gifts
that you've been given. You're avery talented writer, you're extremely funny,
you're a good, solid friend.You have gifts that I don't have that
your neighbor doesn't have. You haveunique gifts that were given to you and
that you actually have been able touse. You just happen to live in

(31:33):
a place where so many other peopleare doing it that you don't even see
your own gift. I'm not funnylike you. I can't stand in front
of an audience the way you dothat is your unique gift writing a movie
and like that's your gift. Ican't do that. No, I don't
know anybody like that's your gift.That you need to look at those things

(31:56):
and you've been given an opportunity tomake those gifts. Really to flex those
gifts and use them, you haveto keep using them. You can't get
a job at Starbucks. God didn'tmake you to get a job at Starbucks.
Star run but when it given youthose gifts? But isn't this isn't
about gifts for this is about justpeace of mind of just not having expectations

(32:19):
on self, right because you're talkingabout money. Are you talking about success
and money? Because success it's notabout success and money. It's just it's
about like just the mind frame ofI'm just going day to day. You
know, it had nothing to dowith success and money. It's it's more
of just how we how we continueon with our existence. Right. And

(32:45):
you know again which goes back tolike me always keeping busy just so I
can have something to focus on.But like that, it's almost awares in
you after a while, like you'reat tire, being worn down. And
I was like, you know what, it's okay. Like that's why I
try to find those moments where I'mlike, you don't have to do anything.
You don't have to do anything,right, I see what you're saying.
I see what you're saying. Absolutelyyes, And sometimes you need a

(33:07):
break to be like I'm okay.You know. I knew someone who had
a corporate job and twenty years laterwas like, I'm gonna go get a
job at Disneyland, like I needto not have all this pressure on me
and I need to find my joy. And he went and he like worked
at California Disney and like took ayear of just working there and doing something

(33:29):
different to be like Okay, nowI can re enter and do whatever is
next. But you're right, Yeah, I see what you're saying. I
saw this TikTok once by this guyworked at Disney World and he was like
the greeter and he's so happy,like hey, welcome disney World. And
they follow him home because a commuterbus like some inner city, Like he

(33:50):
gets paid nothing. It's got likefour kids, living in a hotel room.
He's like cooking over the hotel sink. The most depressing existence, you
know. And you know, yeah, Jym's happy working at disney World.
And it just shows you like whata corporation Disney is like they pay their
workers shit. And this guy's is, you know, happy living in a
motel with his four kids. Wellif he's happy, then who are we

(34:14):
to judge? But the kids,the four kids were like, fucking dad,
get a job to come on,dad, Yeah, I got the
looking mouse hat. Let's let's getsome shit going. But I think that
sometimes kids don't know that there's somethingelse out there. Like if your parents
can bring you joy and they don'thave a lot of money, and they
don't have a lot of things.You don't know. You're not thinking my

(34:37):
dad needs to get a better job. You're just happy with what you have.
As long as the family, thatthe kids aren't being abused and the
family is happy together, then theyjust don't need as much to be happy.
Yeah, there was something to besaid about ignorance is bliss. But
I think kids aren't stupid either,Like they're self aware at a certain age,

(34:58):
like, oh Timmy has this andthis from this the internet now it's
like, not just what the jill. You're not just keeping up with the
Jones is, You're keeping up witheverybody on the internet, even with everybody
in earth now. Yeah, andthat's a lot of pressure. I think
psychologically, we were not made tohave this much information coming at us all

(35:20):
day long. It's too much.Yeah, and maybe that's where my own
stuff comes from. Maybe I'm onsocial media too much. Just I need
to shut it down. I've beenoff of Instagram since January, and I
have more time on my hands.I have less things that are just in
my brain being processed. Well,my brain was working really hard. Even

(35:43):
though you think you're just scrolling.Your brain is working every image it sees.
It's having a whole process happen.Are you gonna come back anytime soon?

come out, I might need tohave a presence on there, So I

(36:04):
