| I just want to note this notion that, well, only if you know I'm black do you know about me because then you know my experience. | |
| The whole notion of knowing your experiences to know you is not true. | |
| You and I, that's like one of the key selling points of our combined work together. | |
| Whether it's, you know, appearing in public, dialogues, or the movie No Safe Spaces that we made. | |
| We come from backgrounds that couldn't be more different and still be in the continental United States. | |
| Does it matter? | |
| No. | |
| Obviously, I always say what we have in common is common sense. | |
| Right. | |
| And if you don't believe that's true... | |
| Think about somebody who is like you. | |
| Let's say for me, a white person with Italian heritage who enjoys automobiles. | |
| The second I find out that we disagree on something that's fundamental to me, they're out. | |
| And you could take a Nigerian-born triathlete, and the second we agree on some of the same principles, they're in. | |
| Right! | |
| That's how everyone is. | |
| Yes! | |
| Why isn't that obvious? | |
| Okay, so your take on, since I last saw you, this country has had convulsions. | |
| What's your take? | |
| You know, I always say all roads lead to narcissism. | |
| This thing of, you know, I felt the same during the Women's March. | |
| You guys are living longer. | |
| You're better educated. | |
| You get a break on your auto insurance. | |
| What is the point? | |
| What are we marching for? | |
| And what we're marching for is so that I can make a sign and be seen and be heard. | |
| We have to fill a void. | |
| We don't have problems. | |
| We've talked about this a million times. | |
| We don't have problems. | |
| You and I look at that as a blessing. | |
| Good. | |
| We can get on with our lives. | |
| Many people now need to create a problem to work on. | |
| A guy who, your job is to go through the park, you have a, we have a stick with a nail on the end of it and you pick up garbage for a living. | |
| But what happens one day when there's no more litter in the park? | |
| Well, the answer is grab the trash can and empty it and kick the garbage around and now you can go back out and do your job. | |
| That's essentially where we're at as a nation. | |
| We're essentially out of real problems. | |
| The park is clean. | |
| So we have to relitter the park and create work for ourselves to give ourselves meaning. | |
| It's one of the joys of my life hearing Adam Carolla. | |
| His new book, which is hilarious, by the way. | |
| I'm getting the Audible edition. | |
| Do you read the Audible? | |
| Oh, hell yes. |
