  1. “Connections get made where people who are maybe diametrically opposed is the right way of phrasing it, but like people who are so at opposite ends of the spectrum have one sticking point of common ground for even a moment and then speaking to that is what I would try to do, whether it's a man on the street or just stand up.”

  2. “And then the more I talk to people, the more that they were like, no, I think we've actually already been in the car accident and we're doing that thing where you blink a lot because you can't hear anything. Because you're And so I think that I have not had the chance yet to do like a man on the street since it happened, but every person that I've talked to has had, and across the aisle as well. It's like I still have friends from back home in Louisiana that vote Republican every time and everything that have very similar concerns to the people that I know here. I think that sometimes”

  3. “I've only talked to people that I know since the stock market I don't even know what you would call it besides a crash. I was trying to find a different word, like a synonym, and then crash is just the most appropriate. But basically, ever since it really kicked off, so like that first day with the DAO, with like the 1,200 points and everything. Everyone that I know was concerned in the way that you They were concerned in the way that you get concerned when you're in an Uber and you see that the light has turned, but they're still looking at the directions. And so you're like, are we about to crash?”

  4. “And obviously, when Trump was running, he was running on strength. You saw dudes that were voting for Trump talk about how we need strength right now and everything. He's a man. He has the tool. Let's just fix the thing. And the only thing he's missing is knowledge. On how the thing works. And that. That does mean that the house we're in is going to leak very badly for a long time.”

  5. “So then the way that that thought process goes of like, I'm a man, a man is supposed to fix these things. I have the tools, the tools are right here. You know, a tariff is a tool. It's not as if tariffs were invented this past week or anything.”

  6. “Pointed at the faucet with your legs hanging out of the cabinet, and you're looking up and you're letting the water hit you on the forehead because you're like, I just want to make sure the leak is real, right? And so it's hitting you on the forehead. And then you're like, all right, time for tools. And so you take your screwdriver and you're like, I don't know where this one. Know if this one will”

  7. “So then there's a leaky faucet. And so you're like, okay, go time. This is what we bought all the stuff at the hardware store for. And so you get under the sink. You move all the license. So all the stuff out of the way. And then you're under there and it's very uncomfortable. You're like, wow, I can't believe that there are people that do this without complaining. And then you're trying to figure out, you know, you've got your light because you don't have a light like you should because you're not an actual plumber. So you've got your cell phone light.”

  8. “Yeah. The way that I look at it, I suppose, if I was going to add it to the set, right? That they're saying that this is manly. I do think that it is manly in the way that my dad would try to fix the sink and he's not a plumber. Do you know what I mean? So, like, we own the tools because you can buy tools. Don't just let anybody have the tools. They don't ask you if you're going to tear up your house at all. They'll let you buy the hammer, the screwdriver. They'll let you buy like the... It might as well be an automatic weapon if you don't know what you're doing with an electric screw. And so then you bring it home and in your head as a man you're like, I have the tools. I do have them, so if anything happens, I'm at least halfway there. Never mind, the other half is like knowledge. And so then...”

  10. “First of all, I do talk a lot. So that's how we got the numbers How we got to the 60 videos is that I could go on forever. If y'all feel like living here, we can. But I think that every place that you go to, whether you're in Austin, Texas or Oklahoma City or something, are going to have their general breakdowns of demographics and all the things that we use to look at a place and try to decide what it is, try to put people and a place in a specific box. Is it red? Is it blue, purple? Is it mostly black, white? Does it have a hood? Is it the boonies? All that stuff. But I think that for the most part, if you can accept that those demographics are there, but still sort of approach it with the hope of being universal, I think you can get to some really interesting work. I think that it is possible to create a through line that people who have very different experiences that will not converge can still understand the thing that you're talking about. And so that's”

  11. “Yeah. So you're saying the worst place where nobody I did do a show If they cared, they would have come. And it was raining when I got there. And one of the producers was like, I think we're going to get some more people coming in. I was like, I don't think we will. I think that the rain doesn't necessarily bring the people out. I think whoever is in here now is who we have. And there was one person that wandered in and was very confused why I was talking was like clearly just came in for a drink and was like, oh no.”

  12. “Okay, I mean, I don't really, I guess I don't sleep that much. But also, there was so long where I would go places and nobody cared. And so it's nice to now have people want me to go wherever I'm going.”
