=== Only If You Know My Race (02:24) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:13]  The whole notion of knowing your experiences to know you is not true.
[00:00:19]  You and I, that's like one of the key selling points of our combined work together.
[00:00:27]  Whether it's, you know, appearing in public, dialogues, or the movie No Safe Spaces that we made.
[00:00:33]  We come from backgrounds that couldn't be more different and still be in the continental United States.
[00:00:41]  Does it matter?
[00:00:42]  No.
[00:00:43]  Obviously, I always say what we have in common is common sense.
[00:00:48]  Right.
[00:00:49]  And if you don't believe that's true...
[00:00:52]  Think about somebody who is like you.
[00:00:55]  Let's say for me, a white person with Italian heritage who enjoys automobiles.
[00:01:01]  The second I find out that we disagree on something that's fundamental to me, they're out.
[00:01:09]  And you could take a Nigerian-born triathlete, and the second we agree on some of the same principles, they're in.
[00:01:18]  Right!
[00:01:19]  That's how everyone is.
[00:01:20]  Yes!
[00:01:21]  Why isn't that obvious?
[00:01:23]  Okay, so your take on, since I last saw you, this country has had convulsions.
[00:01:32]  What's your take?
[00:01:34]  You know, I always say all roads lead to narcissism.
[00:01:39]  This thing of, you know, I felt the same during the Women's March.
[00:01:43]  You guys are living longer.
[00:01:46]  You're better educated.
[00:01:48]  You get a break on your auto insurance.
[00:01:50]  What is the point?
[00:01:52]  What are we marching for?
[00:01:53]  And what we're marching for is so that I can make a sign and be seen and be heard.
[00:01:58]  We have to fill a void.
[00:02:00]  We don't have problems.
[00:02:01]  We've talked about this a million times.
[00:02:03]  We don't have problems.
[00:02:04]  You and I look at that as a blessing.
[00:02:07]  Good.
[00:02:07]  We can get on with our lives.
[00:02:08]  Many people now need to create a problem to work on.

=== Relittering The Park (00:47) ===

[00:02:13]  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.
[00:02:21]  But what happens one day when there's no more litter in the park?
[00:02:24]  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.
[00:02:31]  That's essentially where we're at as a nation.
[00:02:33]  We're essentially out of real problems.
[00:02:37]  The park is clean.
[00:02:38]  So we have to relitter the park and create work for ourselves to give ourselves meaning.
[00:02:45]  It's one of the joys of my life hearing Adam Carolla.
[00:02:49]  His new book, which is hilarious, by the way.
[00:02:52]  I'm getting the Audible edition.
[00:02:54]  Do you read the Audible?
[00:02:55]  Oh, hell yes.
