  1. Which is sometimes in confrontation with healthy relationship, with a long-term relationship where the love is deep, it's very hard to keep that going with the sex part going.

  2. And there's nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. Why can't everybody, you know, it's so funny if I came out as gay tomorrow, the whole town here in Hollywood would be like, oh my God, that's the greatest thing in the world. Because we all should just be who we are. I was born that way. Remember when that was, yeah, this is how I was born. That's how I was drawn. This is what I want. I never wanted to get married. I never thought it worked. And what I mostly say is that when it does, even when it works, it works at what I consider a tremendous price. I mean, you said longevity, what did you say before?

  3. Well, I'm not going to get very specific about this because this is like personal life stuff and I like to keep that opaque. But, you know. Look, if somebody is my age, and we remember what that is because it keeps And they've never been married

  4. And I am in touch, and I said, you know, it's too bad, Brian. You know, I have parties here sometimes. The cameras are off, and we just enjoy it. I had this for 20 years. I partied here before we made it into a podcast studio. It's too bad you go today to bed at 8.30. It doesn't usually get going until 10 or 11. And he said, Here's what I'll do. I'll go to bed, I'll get my REM sleep. So you need REM sleep and deep sleep. And then I'll wake up from my REM sleep. I'll come here for an hour and a half and party with you and I'll go back and I'll get my deep sleep. And I thought, that's a guy who's willing to kind of bend a little.

  5. Friend situation, you know what I'm saying? Let me say this in his defense. First of all, I'm glad he's my new best friend because this guy is working more than anybody else to find out where the cutting edge is on keeping us healthy. He gave me some of the stuff that he uses and sells and some of much of it I've been doing my own self for quite a while. I don't think most people take glutathione, but I get it. And I had it and he uses it. But he's going to tell me, he's going to hit me to everything I need to know that I can do, not in the levels that he does it, but also listen to this. I said, you know, We're leaving and I have my podcast in my, where I party, and it's a different house. I wouldn't party in my own house knowing me. What a life.

  6. I mean, Kibble. I eat pretty strictly, but I still enjoy eating, and you can do that, and goes to bed at 8.30 and all this. I said, all this to shave nine years off, I said, you know, people think I look a little younger than my age. So like, I apparently shaved six or seven years off by smoking pot and not getting married and drinking too much when I was younger. So like, what's the point?

  7. And also he's not crazy, although he is a little crazy. And I said the same thing. I said, Brian, and he's a sweet guy. I like them a lot. I said, Brian, like, okay, so he's 46, but he's like chronologically he's 37. I said, so you go to bed at 8.30. You never eat anything except like these fucking pebbles or whatever the fuck you're eating.

  8. Totally. I mean, there is a chance that even me at seventy wink wink, not quite, will not die. Like, say, because you could live to 100 in 30 years, I can't imagine AI, which is working exponentially. What was that thing that Google just came up with that I just read this that it figured out something that supercomputers Before this would have taken something like 10 septillion million years or whatever it was older than the time of the universe to figure out what now it did in five minutes.

  9. Yeah, Oreos I wouldn't eat. I already made that decision about Oreos decades ago. No Oreos. Well, you know what? When you're 70, first of all, you're on a much shorter leash health-wise, you've got to be very, you can stay exactly and live exactly as you always did. It's funny. When I was your age, I would have never thought I'd be like this at 70. I thought life would be completely different because that's how Americans present it. Like you're completely decrepit and you're like one foot in the grave. And my father was, you know, he would go out to the basketball court, the driveway, and shoot one basket and be like, oh, and he was 53 or something. It just doesn't have to be that way. I found out when I got there. Of course, I never got married. So that's a big difference. You know, you become like something different and as opposed to just always staying.

  10. Well, here's what I actually think. I do go to this supermarket once in a while. I do like to purposefully see what's out there and see if there's food out there, especially that I'm not aware of that, you know, because... I don't know. Yes, you do have to do that, but I am not out of touch. No.

  11. Well, we're not eating carbs, not bread, not pasta, not rice. I mean, occasionally, you know, I'm not a crazy person, but no, just I wouldn't want to keep that around the house or have them. Someone's going to cook for me. They're going to cook good, you know. I've said to her, look, I'll never get mad at you if I don't like, if it's not an appealing dish, I'll only get mad at you if it's not healthy.

  12. We can move on, yes. The point is I'm not native to a lot of this stuff. And the more I, I mean, how many books Does Jonathan Haight have to put out about it? How many times do I have to have guests who talk about how awful and vitriolic it is and what it's doing to young kids? Why would I jump into this point? I mean, if there's one turd in the pool, bad enough, this just seems like a pool.

  13. Everyone talks about it as if anyone has ever done it or enjoyed it or can do it. It's a multitasking thing that you can't do. We've all tried. I've tried. It doesn't work. If someone, you can't go down on a girl while she's sucking your dick. I just can't think about it. They're just too hard. Anyway, that's the point about that. I was going to get 60.

  14. Not really, but I'm saying that because it's next year and I can't at 69 is a funny bit in my special about that. When you're 69, it's just everybody just puts their elbow when your ribs like it's funny. And it's just a terrible number.

  15. I want to read the New York Times even though it's not the paper I grew up with and it's crazy slanted. But I also want to read Andrew Sullivan and I want to read the free press. I would rather be in that world of smart people. I want to listen to your podcast and Zam Harris' podcast. Smart, engaging conversation mostly from people who are not ideologically captured. That's what I want to immerse myself in. I don't want to immerse myself in that world. And I'm just very bad at technology. It's not native to me because of when I grew up, I'm 70 basically.

  16. Yeah, no, I'm from a different generation and I got a shit ton of money, I got cooks and chefs. I don't need social media. I got assistants. I'm so glad that I'm that. Yeah, it sounds good. It's awesome. It is. And it just seems like a bunch of hatred and vitriol. And yes, of course, can you learn things? I don't have enough time in the day to read and absorb the things I do want to read and absorb, you know.

  20. This is Leno hosting. And they were, you know, just falling all over each other on the couch, drooling and laughing. And, I mean, poor Jay was like he was not in on the private jokes between this cast who were in an emotional state after doing this groundbreaking show for 10 years or whatever it was. And now they had their finale and then they had their party. And now they're on with Jay. And they were drawn. So I don't think

  22. Silence, and you turn to David Spade, and you're like, so David Spade, what do you think? And he's like, fuck you, Bill. How about that? That's always what was so. I mean, you said Seinfeld basically had the same reaction. Like, what am I doing here? Yeah, but, you know, when you drag people out of their comfort zone, it does produce a kind of real television that unfortunately, yeah, you don't get a lot. And of course, you know, it's not everybody's cup of tea.

  23. And I'm not one of them. You know, they think the far left thinks I am. I put out a book and a stand-up special in the last six months both to make the point in great detail. You've changed, not me.

  24. An actual debate. I mean, this idea that they have some people that you shouldn't platform, you know, I mean, I've lost fans certainly. And even like people who are friends kind of because they were so mad at me that I had on real-time people like Ted Cruz and Bill Barr. Okay, he was the attorney general. You know, I'm not going to talk to this man?

  25. I love doing that. I mean, and you're right, most shows don't do that. I mean, you don't see much debate on cable news. I mean, CNN has a panel. But that guy who I, what did I call him, Lonely Scott, Lonely Scott? What is his name? Anyway Scott Jennings aren't talking about Jennings. It's like six people. And then after they all do whatever they're going to say, and usually I agree with those people. Then Lonely Scott gets to talk. But, you know, I do like having...

  27. Take it in the most generous sense thought about it and evolve. Even if we wouldn't do it today, do we have to go back and dig up the past and yell at ourselves when here's the thing, like whatever it was back then, like most people were okay with it. It wasn't mean-spirited. She got in trouble also once for a sketch she did, which was an anti-racist sketch. Okay, but we sort of glossed over nuance at a certain point. And so, you know, I don't know if it was necessary to be like, I'm history's greatest monster because I did this. Like, no, I thought I was doing the right thing. And at the time, usually nobody else said anything. So it was obvious that's where the country was. Anyway, she did a joke with some sort of Asian reference. I don't remember what it was. And the person from the... Asian

  30. No, I'm just the, I mean, I love Sarah and she's still a friend, but I mean, just it's just funny to hear these names from the past. And I don't remember her on that show. I remember her on real time, but she was on.

  31. I always described it as a designed train wreck. That's why it was funny. And as you say, sometimes there was great enlightenment from that. The idea was everyone in America votes. We all get to vote, whether we're Harvard educated, although a few people are that stupid. Or, you know, the lowliest mechanic who's only finished eighth grade or something. We all get to vote. We don't all know the same thing or come from the same background, but this is a democracy. And let's pair the least likely people to ever be in the same room together at the same cocktail party and have them talk. And yeah, what was great about that show was that when it was good at, like you said, there were moments that were really good. But even when it was bad, like the bad was kind of good. I really did watch it every day when I got

  33. It's very 90s. John, isn't it so fucking quaint that we lived in an era where that was the kind of problem as opposed to the things the shit show that's going on now and things that are so much more existential, shall we say? Not that it isn't an issue, but come on.

  34. But we would just present a provocative, not saying things that I didn't believe or think should be discussed. I wasn't just doing it for the sake. And it would always end with, does anybody have a problem with that? And when we put out a book from the show, it was called, you know, The Best of Politically. Does anybody have a problem with that? So pedophile. Stand on the, what was it? Put a sign in their...

And he was at his show was doing great. So it was a great favor. And I don't remember the question about the, but we didn't ask questions. We presented topics on that old show. Every question, I wrote that first season. I wrote them all myself word for word. Did we even have writers? I think we had a couple, but we had like, this is before the people look shit up on the internet. We had researchers who had to like go to the stacks or something. I don't know. It seems like it was from the Middle Ages.

  37. Yeah, I mean, keep going down that road and see where it leads you. But people are not politically savvy, I don't feel in America, but they know when you're full of shit. And it's like, you know. Land acknowledgement either give it back or shut the fuck up, I think is what most people are thinking.
