if you uh if you know anything about

I think Neil deGrasse Tyson had some
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
just a long string of tweets about the
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
science and it but I was just ignoring
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
yeah and then I was in a hotel room and
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
and it was on the TV and i watched it
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►

[TS]
00:03:15
◼
►
Lee mad the entire time
[TS]
00:03:17
◼
►
you know i'm not i'm not be and probably
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
the fifth-best physicist that you know
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
we're here
[TS]
00:03:24
◼
►
I mean you know your take right well we
[TS]
00:03:28
◼
►
might be the only physicist I now so I'm
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
not in a position to say there are all I
[TS]
00:03:33
◼
►
think there are a lot of people that you
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
and I know who it turns out our
[TS]
00:03:37
◼
►
physicists closet with is business
[TS]
00:03:40
◼
►
yeah that we just don't know like i
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
would i would say grant Balfour is
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
probably pretty good physicist yeah you
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
probably just John syracuse said grant
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
Balfour we've got a physicist friends
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
for sure i would say that they would say
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
that they probably weren't physicists
[TS]
00:03:53
◼
►
and technical the physicist that's right
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
and i'm going to probably agree with
[TS]
00:03:56
◼
►
them and i'm not saying about you know
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
what I'm not the fifth-best I'm in the
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
top five business right but you because
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
I'm gravity anomaly that changes a lot
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
that's right gravity anomalies can often
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
take one that could take a group of
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
physicists and andrey sort them and then
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
do it again right it's called lensing
[TS]
00:04:15
◼
►
lensing and that's just part of the
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
parallax effect is that gets well it's

00:04:19
◼

[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
yeah you want to actually do want to
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
talk about physics but you should say
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
that because I whatever that was over
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
pronouncing i'm gonna skip that and now

willfully suspend my discipline
[TS]
00:05:09
◼
►
disbelief about like I got the thing is
[TS]
00:05:11
◼
►
here's my thesis and I'm not a physicist
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
like you but I can as I sit here today I
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
can't tell you what it is about a film

[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
briefly once before I don't have a
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
problem with it on because I think
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
that's part of the the universe the
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
Cinematic Universe you know it's just
[TS]
00:05:53
◼
►
you know the biggest problem if I had to
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
say one big thing and I don't have any
[TS]
00:05:57
◼
►
specific examples this in mind I know
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
this happens a lot and a lot of movies
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
in particular the first act set up is a
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
lot of world-building the others the
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
first act as a lot of establishing the
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
ironclad rules that will lead to much of
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
the drama that unfolds over the next two
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
hours in 30 minutes
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
I really like the way you're saying this
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
thank you and then stuff happens in the
[TS]
00:06:20
◼
►
second act rite stuff happens
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
virtually every rule ironclad rule that
[TS]
00:06:25
◼
►
was established in the first third kind
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
of gets thrown out the window without
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
explanation and that's frustrating and I
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
feel cheated and I feel duped
[TS]
00:06:32
◼
►
well in this case in this in this movie
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
the DRL ever Oh interstellar right in
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
this interstellar movie the first act is
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
the problematic act because the first
[TS]
00:06:43
◼
►
act is both boring
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
well it's boring and implausible but
[TS]
00:06:46
◼
►
also dumb poorly thought out and it sets
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
up the plot for the rest of the film
[TS]
00:06:52
◼
►
like this the the stuff happens part of
[TS]
00:06:54
◼
►

00:06:57
◼
►

[TS]
00:12:58
◼

in this movie but that's not the point
[TS]
00:13:00

the point is science as a
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
as a narrative motivator right if you
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
see if you go to a movie and you're like

[TS]
00:13:12
◼

there is going to be somebody's going to
[TS]
00:13:13
◼

use science to tell a story it's going

looks like a black hole is going to look

element in it i dismissed them with a

with a with a Scott because the

controversy about this film is that it

like overt and tanned leather captain of

00:16:18
◼

thing is a garbage barge and it's a 10
[TS]
00:16:20
◼
►
and I and I cannot help but compare it
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
to them to the more recent film which
[TS]
00:16:26
◼
►
used science to create a robot raccoon
[TS]
00:16:30
◼

that had a smart mouth for and a been a
[TS]
00:16:32
◼
►
big machine gun
[TS]
00:16:33
◼

yeah shouldn't work and think everything
[TS]
00:16:36
◼

in that movie I believed
[TS]
00:16:37
◼
►
yep one hundred percent and loved and
[TS]
00:16:39
◼
►
this garbage barge of a movie which was
[TS]
00:16:41
◼
►
supposed to be smart and which multiple
[TS]
00:16:44
◼
►
multiple film reviewers praised for its
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
smartness people were for this is why a
[TS]
00:16:48
◼
►
divisive because i haven't seen the film
[TS]
00:16:50
◼
►
but I heard a lot of people were just
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
coming out of the theater freaking out
[TS]
00:16:53
◼
►
and talking about her life changed and
[TS]
00:16:55
◼
►
other people were like to be watched the
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
same movie
[TS]
00:16:57
◼
►
mm-hmm you know I learned this i'll
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
probably get this wrong i'm doing this
[TS]
00:17:01
◼
►
from memory but I learned a couple
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
distinctions in the last few years that
[TS]
00:17:03
◼
►
I think are interesting and you probably
[TS]
00:17:05
◼
►
know these but won't admit it you know
[TS]
00:17:07
◼
►
like in John Rizzo forget science
[TS]
00:17:09
◼
►
fiction and fantasy right now are you
[TS]
00:17:12
◼
►
can I know I know I know the difference
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
between modes okay okay that's a start
[TS]
00:17:17
◼
►
and Lord of the Rings is fantasy fantasy
[TS]
00:17:20
◼
►
well no here's the thing but in fantasy
[TS]
00:17:22
◼
►
don't you have like there's like high
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
fantasy and like low fantasy high
[TS]
00:17:26
◼
►
fantasy is where it really it's like a
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
whole different
[TS]
00:17:29
◼
►
world like a different universe or
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
something like that and forgive me
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
everybody in the world is going to get
[TS]
00:17:34
◼
►
mad at this but it is the distinction
[TS]
00:17:35
◼
►
being measured high fantasy well but
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
then also i dunno there's hard science
[TS]
00:17:40
◼
►
fiction
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
oh okay right so there's a kind of
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
science fiction where every conceivable
[TS]
00:17:45
◼
►
detail is sweated to be as accurate as
[TS]
00:17:49
◼
►
possible but also even in a speculative
[TS]
00:17:51
◼
►
fiction universe to really cater the
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
sort of person who like you know ask the
[TS]
00:17:57
◼
►
question of william shatner at the
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
convention like that you know it isn't a
[TS]
00:18:01
◼
►
distinction because there's some kind of
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
science fiction where you got a fucking
[TS]
00:18:04
◼
►
robot raccoon and nobody minds right and
[TS]
00:18:07
◼
►
this is the end this is the thing I love
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
hard science fiction and generally I
[TS]
00:18:12
◼
►
find that it works best when it is like
[TS]
00:18:15
◼
►
Blade Runner a plausible world where
[TS]
00:18:18
◼
►
where you eat you have you've posited
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
the future based on like one or two one
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
or two minor changes and it is produced
[TS]
00:18:31
◼
►
this future world righty meaner or it
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
like you take a lot of elements that we
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
all sort of except and know to be true
[TS]
00:18:39
◼
►
and you introduce one fantastical
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
science development
[TS]
00:18:44
◼
►
okay and I can handle I can handle those
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
even the ones that are like hard science
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
except fantasy right like the like ones
[TS]
00:18:52
◼
►
where time travel is possible or
[TS]
00:18:54
◼
►
something like that where where they
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
don't they don't take or what was the
[TS]
00:18:57
◼
►
one where the guy was coming back into
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
the yet they were people in the future
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
we're sending people back in the past to
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
get killed
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
oh yeah the night inception but rooper
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
looper right i mean at as if you sit and
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
worry about time travel like don't talk
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
about time traveling and they covered it
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
right in the film and it's hilarious
[TS]
00:19:18
◼
►
that moment right here just like okay
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
except that and then you then you go
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
along with the plot right and what what
[TS]
00:19:25
◼
►
this movie did was that it tried to get
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
the hard science right except they're
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
there nobody had done any thinking about
[TS]
00:19:33
◼
►
a about like the human element right
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
they had they had they gone toward the
[TS]
00:19:41
◼
►
hard science and they had forgotten
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
different
[TS]
00:19:42
◼
►
about people John they forgot about
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
people they forgot to make the human
[TS]
00:19:46
◼

motivation plausible-like although the
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
whole of the whole emotional core of
[TS]
00:19:53
◼

this film depends on the idea that a

daughter of a father who is a who is a

the future right that's what's
[TS]
00:23:04
◼

interesting
[TS]
00:23:05
◼

yeah that would be an interesting story
[TS]
00:23:06
◼

but instead like they get off the planet
[TS]
00:23:09
◼

and like his daughters grown-up and she
[TS]
00:23:11

thumb while becoming a genius scientist

[TS]
00:23:35
◼

the and again i have not seen a movie

future humans for reasons that are not
[TS]
00:24:44
◼

explained he is in a crossroads where he
[TS]
00:24:48
◼

can go from he can go across multiple
[TS]
00:24:53

universes he can go across time I guess

it ties into it so it's a it's a very
[TS]
00:46:11
◼

class oriented thing like skiing is is

it's changed a lot but the art of skiing
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
hasn't changed and I got off the lift
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
and I made a couple of turns and I was
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
like all right this is the appropriate
[TS]
00:52:43
◼
►
gear and I understand how it works and
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
then the rest of the day I was just in
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
this place of a in this place of like
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
kind of training again where every turn
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
i made i was thinking about and I was
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
like that was a good turn and now we're
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
gonna set up the next turn and here we
[TS]
00:53:04
◼
►
go and then for the cardiovascular
[TS]
00:53:06
◼
►
standpoint you could do it seems very
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
athletic one so I was after the first
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
couple of runs i was super tired my legs
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
hurt everything about me her and and I
[TS]
00:53:17
◼
►
recognized a few things that I was 46
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
and so I could not I could not get air
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
anymore I was not going to get I was not
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
gonna go off any jumps probably ever
[TS]
00:53:27
◼
►
again and there were you know in any
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
kind of skiing in any ski run where
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
you're really pushing yourself you're
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
going to arrive at a moment where you're
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
like okay I'm at the threshold now right
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
I'm on that I'm on the outside of my
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
ability and I think that's true of
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
anybody no matter how good they are if
[TS]
00:53:52
◼
►
they're pushing their envelope they get
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
to the edge of it it it seems like every
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
i always keep once when I was a kid very
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
young kid but like you with the way you
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
watching somebody doing the way you
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
described it really sounds like not only
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
is that true that you're always pushing
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
it but that you didn't need to push that
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
in a way you might not expect could come
[TS]
00:54:11
◼
►
up with like almost any second and that
[TS]
00:54:13
◼
►
could be something of meeting a certain
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
amount of velocity you didn't expect I
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
certainly imagine we talk about things
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
like even small just jumping around how
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
hard that must be on your joints but
[TS]
00:54:23
◼
►
then also just anything like one false
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
move and you're just gonna tear some
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
part of your body really really hard
[TS]
00:54:29
◼
►
right yeah you're going super fast down
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
a place and even if you are very
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
familiar with the terrain which like the
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
resort i grew up on I knew every inch of
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
it but even so every day is different
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
right because its nature and the weather
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
and the snow i mean it's always
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
different so an area that you know
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
really well you can come across it and
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
it's been this the situation has changed
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
completely
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
but as it was happening this past
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
weekend I was on completely unfamiliar
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
terrain and every time I came over arise
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
I had no idea what was on the other side
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
it could be a it could be a mile-long
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
groomed run or it could be a cliff into
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
a waterfall every time you know every
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
time you come over a a horizon and so
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
the other thing I being 46 really
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
pointed out to me was that i needed to i
[TS]
00:55:23
◼
►
needed to bring my the the edge of my
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
envelope in considerably because the
[TS]
00:55:28
◼
►
really the last time I skied very much
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
I was still young enough that that that
[TS]
00:55:36
◼
►
the my boundaries were way way out
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
mhm and I needed to bring those weigh-in
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
and there were a couple of times on the
[TS]
00:55:44
◼
►
hill where I was standing on the edge of
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
some double black diamond run and
[TS]
00:55:48
◼
►
looking down and like is this doable yes
[TS]
00:55:50
◼
►
should i do it
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
no I should not I should not do this
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
because I can do it but I don't need to
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
prove that and I and the risk of of
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
doing this and and making even just a
[TS]
00:56:10
◼
►
normal error is that i will hurt myself
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
and then then today will be
[TS]
00:56:16
◼
►
characterized by my injury rather than
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
by the fact that I'm having a really fun
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
yeah and so that was it that was new to
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
me I'd never I'd never stood at the top
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
of a run before and look down and said
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
can I yes should I know and I did that a
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
few times and I was I was pretty proud
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
of that I think that's pretty smart
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
child is as good as you may still be
[TS]
00:56:37
◼
►
like it's just the stakes are higher
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
oh I'm old I mean I you know and and
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
what was great was feeling like feeling
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
after a couple of runs that i was so
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
tired that maybe I had made a terrible
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
mistake in buying an all-day pass maybe
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
I should go down and take a bath and and
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
then skiing through that pain and
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
loosening up and getting my you know and
[TS]
00:57:04
◼
►
and finding reserves of strength and by
[TS]
00:57:06
◼
►
the end you know and then i skied until
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
the last run and was was sad too sad
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
that they didn't have night skiing you
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
know but it was very weird to feel like
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
this was a thing that I then I I know
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
how to do and then I think that is such
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
a big part of my life really and i have
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
chosen not to do it for 20 years for
[TS]
00:57:30
◼
►
reasons that are all about
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
well it's really expensive and it's kind
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
of paint has to get up there so anyway
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
it's better you know what I I'm gonna go
[TS]
00:57:40
◼
►
to the cafe this morning and read the
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
newspaper instead and everyday sort of
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
making that decision for 20 years and
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
and leaving this side of me where I
[TS]
00:57:53
◼
►
actually know how to do something that's
[TS]
00:57:55
◼
►
really gratifying that's physical and
[TS]
00:57:57
◼
►
that's in this other realm and I just I
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
just don't
[TS]
00:58:02
◼
►
it's not a part of my life who and it
[TS]
00:58:05
◼
►
was it was aight i'm still kind of like
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
grappling with it
[TS]
00:58:10
◼
►
grappling with how it how it how it is
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
that i could go so that i could go year
[TS]
00:58:19
◼
►
after year and not even want to do it
[TS]
00:58:21
◼
►
once or
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
want to do it but never have that desire
[TS]
00:58:25
◼
►
to do it be enough to like overcome the
[TS]
00:58:29
◼
►
inertia of of sitting around
[TS]
00:58:36
◼
►
I mean doesn't question kinda sorta
[TS]
00:58:38
◼
►
answer itself which was that you just
[TS]
00:58:40
◼
►
you hadn't having not done so long i
[TS]
00:58:42
◼
►
guess the question some ways like when
[TS]
00:58:44
◼
►
do you start to not do something when
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
does it start to count as you're not
[TS]
00:58:47
◼
►
doing something cuz then once you did
[TS]
00:58:48
◼
►
you were like oh this is great huh
[TS]
00:58:50
◼
►
but like it used to be a huge part of
[TS]
00:58:51
◼
►
your life so it seems strange that you
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
didn't at least kind of check back in
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
with it
[TS]
00:58:55
◼
►
well yeah I mean it was a butt but it's
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
sort of related to you know it's related
[TS]
00:59:00
◼
►
to my well it's a relationship to action
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►

01:02:34
◼

you hang out with other people and

have to be left alone

[TS]
01:02:46
◼

consumption like do I want to have three

01:03:11
◼

talking about here enjoy the
[TS]
01:03:13
◼

paraphernalia of the hobby which could
[TS]
01:03:17
◼

be stuff like reading magazines it could
[TS]
01:03:18
◼

be things like going to the bike shop to

could be me read a comic book myself at

[TS]
01:03:53
◼

appealing nothing it's bad but that's
[TS]
01:03:56
◼

very much not something that I would go
[TS]
01:03:58
◼
►
out of my way to do because it'll take
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
my doesn't take my boxes has no
[TS]
01:04:02
◼

practical application well you even

[TS]
01:04:05
◼

trying to say that all these things men
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
women and children whoever there's
[TS]
01:04:10
◼
►
something that feels a little part of
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
your personality what the nice thing
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
about a hobby if you want to call it
[TS]
01:04:15
◼
►
that it's kind of like this spring spray
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
foam insulation you can shoot in your
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
life that fills this important part that
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
needs to be filled in for some people
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
that's the social social part for other
[TS]
01:04:24
◼

people's like I just need to be left

alone for

hours a week mowing the lawn great
[TS]
01:04:27
◼

chance to listen to podcast and not talk

01:04:29
◼
►
to anybody you know I was that responds
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
really what you're saying but I think
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
that part partly explains you had a lot
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
of your social intercourse coming from
[TS]
01:04:37
◼
►
rock and roll for a long time and you
[TS]
01:04:39
◼

know I mean I'm not trying to say
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
there's like a one-to-one explanation
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
but like I think it's actually sadly
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
easy to understand why we fall out of
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
things like that over time because other
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
stuff takes its place and then the
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
inertia
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
now favors the new things you're doing
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
rather than the old thing which is
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
admittedly an expensive pain-in-the-ass
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
I was what i was driving in and I was

engineer track you start at the bottom

and work your way up and you're an
[TS]
01:07:51
◼

engineer and if you're on the conductor

religious people of faith who governed

[TS]
01:17:10
◼

01:17:11
◼

i mean i-i think a question yeah I think
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
Jimmy Carter was oh yeah and i think i
[TS]
01:17:16
◼
►
think probably ronald reagan was really

◼
►
pretty opportunistic I don't know he
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
said he's an onion he's tough to peel

[TS]
01:17:33

be a cynical tough you know person in
[TS]
01:17:39
◼

governance who doesn't also have faith

01:17:46
◼
►
he when he when he when he drinks he
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
probably genuinely felt bad

[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
doubt anymore and that's so different
[TS]
01:21:08
◼
►
from the one that Jimmy Carter practices
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►

Jimmy Carter but uh fuck that guy but
[TS]
01:21:27
◼
►
like you know you also really do get the
[TS]
01:21:29
◼
►
sense that like whatever kind of human
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
he is that he does there's something
[TS]
01:21:33
◼
►
inside of him where it's probably
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
virtually impossible to tell how much of
[TS]
01:21:36
◼
►
his personal generosity comes out of his
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
faith and beliefs which comes out of his
[TS]
01:21:39
◼
►
ethics how much it comes out of his
[TS]
01:21:41
◼
►
heritage but is something to all of
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
those things that make this vulture on
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
of kindness that I i find very admirable
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
say what you will about the guys
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
presidency and you know reckon the
[TS]
01:21:51
◼
►
chopper or whatever but like I he just
[TS]
01:21:53
◼
►
seems like a genuinely good guy
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
yeah and then that's what that's what I
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
mean like like JFK nominally a Catholic
[TS]
01:22:00
◼
►
we were all terrified of his Catholicism
[TS]
01:22:02
◼
►
rapist you don't you don't look at paint
[TS]
01:22:05
◼
►
this in the White House you don't really
[TS]
01:22:06
◼
►
look at the way he conducted his own
[TS]
01:22:08
◼
►
life and think well here there's
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
somebody who they're really like really
[TS]
01:22:13
◼
►
about Catholicism yeah i got that I get
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
the feeling rosaries were not on his
[TS]
01:22:18
◼
►
mind when he was doing what he did and
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
so I look at all the US presidents and
[TS]
01:22:22
◼
►
all they all saw Billy Graham they all
[TS]
01:22:24
◼
►
profess to be practicing more or less
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
the same version and i do not see I do
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
not see much evidence of it except in
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
those two cases right Carter as the
[TS]
01:22:41
◼
►
completely thoughtful Christian and
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
george bush's that completely like
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
unreflective Christian and that's pretty
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
that's pretty phenomenal it's hard to
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
know somebody's heart it's hard to know
[TS]
01:22:52
◼
►
and you know I don't necessarily feel
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
like we're being kind of unkind but I I
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
don't know I I don't know the answer to
[TS]
01:22:58
◼
►
that but you know in one of our many
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
lost episodes at the guy I said
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
something to you one time that really
[TS]
01:23:03
◼
►
means a lot to me which is that I you
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
didn't disagree with this but like
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
there's I i feel like i have these
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
friends where you could be friends with
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
this person for 10 years and kinda only
[TS]
01:23:14
◼
►
came up once or twice that they even
[TS]
01:23:16
◼
►
quote unquote go to church but there's
[TS]
01:23:18
◼
►
something about the way they conduct
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
themselves not is really admirable and
[TS]
01:23:24
◼
►
kind and gentle and sometimes funny and
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
maybe they drinking playing bands and
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
stuff but there's nothing to what they
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
do that this was about like
[TS]
01:23:32
◼
►
proselytizing or judging but they're
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
always the ones who show up to help
[TS]
01:23:36
◼
►
people offer stuff and that's the strain
[TS]
01:23:38
◼
►
that I seen something like Jimmy Carter
[TS]
01:23:40
◼
►
and I saw like in the people i want to
