well i really appreciate that and you

66
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:01,200
know um full transparency i am wearing

67
00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:04,080
an x-file shirt so that could not be

68
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:06,800
more appropriate than today but yeah

69
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:09,360
let's let's start with i guess how you

70
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,680
and i first got connected we both live

71
00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:13,920
here in new york city i'm in queens uh

72
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,599
you're in an undisclosed location

73
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:17,680
because i don't want people doxing you

74
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:18,560
but

75
00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:20,959
yeah how do you know of course of course

76
00:03:25,670 --> 00:03:23,599
let's get the seven degrees of um

77
00:03:26,949 --> 00:03:25,680
separation between you and i if you

78
00:03:29,509 --> 00:03:26,959
don't mind

79
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:29,519
uh yeah so our our mutual friend andrew

80
00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:33,280
sanford connected us i met uh andrew at

81
00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,319
a at a show that a mutual friend of ours

82
00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:38,560
uh had it was a one-man show about star

83
00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:41,519
wars that david lawson did and it was um

84
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,239
amazing it was about his life growing up

85
00:03:47,830 --> 00:03:46,000
with it was called the prequels and it's

86
00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:47,840
about uh growing up

87
00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:49,920
uh with the prequel movies coming out

88
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:51,599
and how that effect how that affected

89
00:03:56,390 --> 00:03:53,920
his life and uh andrew was nice enough

90
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:56,400
to ask me to open for that show and uh

91
00:04:01,589 --> 00:03:59,120
andrew was also at that show and uh we

92
00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:01,599
stayed in touch ever since actually i i

93
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,200
interviewed the two of them in a podcast

94
00:04:08,070 --> 00:04:05,519
that i co-host with uh two other comedy

95
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,080
writers uh called yubnub that we kind of

96
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:10,720
dive into uh the the all of the

97
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:13,760
connective tissue of how i know andrew

98
00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:15,920
and how i know david uh which now leads

99
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:18,320
me to you isn't it amazing how life

100
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:21,440
works that way yeah it is man again like

101
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,240
i can't tell you the weird connections i

102
00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:26,800
made through uh this podcast alone and

103
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:28,960
that has to do with other comedians as

104
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:31,840
well we've had people like rhys darby

105
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:34,240
kumao nanjiani um

106
00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,800
uh brian husky on the show all because

107
00:04:40,469 --> 00:04:38,479
of their connections through like

108
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,479
something they love which is the x-files

109
00:04:44,070 --> 00:04:42,320
and some of them are even i think all of

110
00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:44,080
them were actually on the show at some

111
00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:47,040
point which is crazy so i'm waiting i'll

112
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:49,759
wait and then for that season 13 of the

113
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,919
x-files maybe they'll give me a call i

114
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:53,440
don't know i don't know

115
00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:56,639
yeah it is what it is um well well the

116
00:05:01,830 --> 00:04:59,600
real reason we're here is um i

117
00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,840
when i started looking at your work i

118
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:03,919
saw this new animated series that you

119
00:05:07,909 --> 00:05:05,840
came out with over at comedy central

120
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:07,919
which is maurice on mars and i'm gonna

121
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:10,960
read quickly the sort of quick synopsis

122
00:05:14,469 --> 00:05:12,960
of this maurice on mars follows the

123
00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:14,479
struggles of maurice robinson a

124
00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:16,880
20-something artist who snuck onto a

125
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:19,600
utopian martian colony only to realize

126
00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:22,240
it's repeating the same old earth

127
00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:25,360
problems which does not surprise me one

128
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,280
bit um

129
00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,840
it's brilliant man um and i want to get

130
00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:31,600
into sort of how it came to be and

131
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,880
everything but

132
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:34,880
uh let's start with who you are let's

133
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:36,080
let the audience get to know you a

134
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:37,280
little bit if that's cool how did you

135
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:40,000
first get involved with comedy um do you

136
00:05:44,870 --> 00:05:40,720
do

137
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:44,880
what's your whole origin story i guess

138
00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:47,680
yeah yeah i mean my origin story is that

139
00:05:52,710 --> 00:05:50,320
uh i grew up in uh south central l.a and

140
00:05:53,830 --> 00:05:52,720
i wasn't allowed to go outside as a kid

141
00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:53,840
really like i was allowed to go around

142
00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:56,240
the block and it's uh it's not that i

143
00:06:01,350 --> 00:05:59,199
wanted to either like i really loved tv

144
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:01,360
i loved books i loved creating my own

145
00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:04,000
universes i love movies um and i love

146
00:06:09,029 --> 00:06:06,960
science fiction in particular uh and so

147
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:09,039
it's a it's a swirl of things my first

148
00:06:11,909 --> 00:06:10,880
true goal in life

149
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,919
was to

150
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:13,360
invent flubber

151
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,960
because when the

152
00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:17,039
robin williams flubber movie was about

153
00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:18,880
to come out you know how you would get

154
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:21,680
those scholastic uh book pamphlets i got

155
00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,000
myself the novelization of the robin

156
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:26,800
williams version of flubber i read that

157
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:28,160
i went to go see the movie i was

158
00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:30,000
dedicated and i was like i want to be a

159
00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:33,039
mad scientist i want to invent flubber

160
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,440
but i was so bad at math that i knew

161
00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,680
that that was impossible and so then i

162
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:39,360
my brain was like oh well clearly the

163
00:06:43,590 --> 00:06:40,800
thing that wants me to be a mad

164
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:43,600
scientist is that these science fiction

165
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:46,000
movies uh keep capturing my imagination

166
00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,160
whether it be flubber whether it be star

167
00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,479
wars uh and so i dove into really

168
00:06:55,029 --> 00:06:52,000
wanting to be a filmmaker i wanted to

169
00:06:57,430 --> 00:06:55,039
create the stuff that i that i love um

170
00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:57,440
so then that was my my huge passion it

171
00:07:02,390 --> 00:06:59,919
still is i'd love to start uh you know

172
00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:02,400
creating movies uh i mean this cartoon

173
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:04,240
is a good step towards that in a sense

174
00:07:09,909 --> 00:07:07,120
um so uh

175
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:09,919
went to uh santa barbara city college

176
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,440
for a couple years to study film because

177
00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,360
they had a good film program there kind

178
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,520
of stopped doing college moved to uh

179
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:17,759
moved back home uh with my parents and i

180
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:20,560
was working uh at a movie theater uh and

181
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:22,240
i had this little

182
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:24,400
thing where it's like i wanted to uh i

183
00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,759
wanted to do comedy and there's some

184
00:07:29,589 --> 00:07:27,759
people that that knew that because i was

185
00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:29,599
the type of guy who would kind of repeat

186
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,720
the same casual conversational jokes in

187
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:34,240
any social setting just to see if they

188
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:36,400
get the same reaction that kind of thing

189
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:37,759
and so um

190
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,400
my two friends uh who had a band they

191
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:42,240
asked me to open for one of their their

192
00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:45,440
bigger shows in la and uh i did and to

193
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:47,039
prep for that i started going to open

194
00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:48,960
mics where it was like i would be the

195
00:07:52,869 --> 00:07:50,400
only comedian type of thing it was like

196
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:52,879
poetry open mics music open nights and

197
00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:55,440
uh i loved that did the show it went

198
00:07:59,830 --> 00:07:58,000
pretty good and uh and then i kind of

199
00:08:01,670 --> 00:07:59,840
hatched this plan with my friend ian

200
00:08:04,629 --> 00:08:01,680
abramson who i went to high school with

201
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:04,639
to to move to chicago and pursue comedy

202
00:08:09,110 --> 00:08:06,080
we uh

203
00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:09,120
you know took some classes at second

204
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:10,879
city i started to focus a little bit

205
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:13,520
more on stand up but parallel to that i

206
00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:14,960
was still doing a lot of behind the

207
00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,720
scenes stuff so i was like in the

208
00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:18,720
stand-up world but i was also

209
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:20,720
being a video producer for different

210
00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:22,720
companies being a podcast producer for

211
00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:25,120
different companies and

212
00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:28,319
and every you know step along the way i

213
00:08:32,949 --> 00:08:30,800
kept trying to like sort of mold those

214
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:32,959
two resumes together right and get to a

215
00:08:35,909 --> 00:08:34,080
point where

216
00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:35,919
they my resume would start to reflect

217
00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,039
the things that i wanted to do which is

218
00:08:41,829 --> 00:08:39,039

official tv writing job was on the

reboot of all that on nickelodeon and

243
00:09:37,190 --> 00:09:34,880
that was a dream come true because i

244
00:09:40,389 --> 00:09:37,200
loved all that nickelodeon as a part of

245
00:09:41,990 --> 00:09:40,399
my dna it's a part of you know

246
00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:42,000
the comedy that sort of birthed my

247
00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:45,120
sensibilities was that 90s nickelodeon

248
00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:47,600
stuff like hey arnold um

249
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:51,279
rocco's modern life all that good uh uh

250
00:09:56,150 --> 00:09:53,519
um keenan and kel that kind of stuff um

251
00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:56,160
so that was fun then i uh

252
00:09:59,110 --> 00:09:57,360
wrote for the tonight show for a year

253
00:10:01,030 --> 00:09:59,120
and a half all during the pandemic a

254
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:01,040
very twilight zone sort of situation

255
00:10:05,590 --> 00:10:03,279
where i'm writing for this uh

256
00:10:08,710 --> 00:10:05,600
historic institution of a late night

257
00:10:10,630 --> 00:10:08,720
program uh from my apartment

258
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:10,640
uh

259
00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:13,120
i never met jimmy in person still

260
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:15,200
haven't never set foot in 30 rock for

261
00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:17,360
the job it was just like a very

262
00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,240
uh surreal thing but learned a whole lot

263
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:22,160
from that and since it was during it

264
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:23,519
started off in jimmy's house when i

265
00:10:26,790 --> 00:10:25,200
started when all the late night hosts

266
00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,800
were doing it in their house all the way

267
00:10:29,430 --> 00:10:28,240
to when it was in the studio with an

268
00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:29,440
audience and all that kind of thing i

269
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:30,880
feel like i wrote for five different

270
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:32,640
shows so i gained a lot of skills from

271
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:34,480
that um

272
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:37,040
and then most recently i i wrote for a

273
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:39,200
nickelodeon sitcom a new one called

274
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:41,760
warped which is about a comic book store

275
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:43,920
in a mall and the teenagers who who

276
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:47,360
worked there and that was uh very fun uh

277
00:10:50,949 --> 00:10:49,120
i wrote an episode called plagiarize

278
00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,959
that featured kevin smith as a special

279
00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:52,399
guest so that was really cool i got to

280
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:54,480
meet him in person

281
00:10:59,750 --> 00:10:57,360
and uh and all the while in the summer

282
00:11:01,910 --> 00:10:59,760
of 2020 i had pitched this idea to

283
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:01,920
comedy central for this animated project

284
00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:04,720
called maurice on mars that uh and i've

285
00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:06,079
been working on that for for two years

286
00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,079
and now it's finally out and i'm excited

287
00:11:12,790 --> 00:11:10,560
that people can see it uh sorry i feel

288
00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,800
like i'm rambling on these things no man

289
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:14,880
see this is what i like i love hearing

290
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:17,600
like the journey of a creative and how

291
00:11:21,190 --> 00:11:19,200
they got to where they are because i'm

292
00:11:24,069 --> 00:11:21,200
the same way again people know me on

293
00:11:27,190 --> 00:11:24,079
this show as a ufo person but

294
00:11:29,030 --> 00:11:27,200
we all outside of these like big hobbies

295
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:29,040
or interests we have it's more than a

296
00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:30,320
hobby for me at this point it's

297
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:32,800
basically a second job i'm not gonna lie

298
00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:35,200
um and i love it it's as close to being

299
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:38,320
fox mulder as i'll ever get but um

300
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:41,120
i love hearing like what inspires you to

301
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:43,200
create things and kind of that journey

302
00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:45,680
and there's so many like tangent

303
00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,640
questions i want to ask but i know we we

304
00:11:52,949 --> 00:11:50,800
only have limited amounts of time but

305
00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:52,959
like i think it's great that you got to

306
00:11:57,110 --> 00:11:55,040
work with kevin smith even though you

307
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:57,120
didn't get to step foot in 30 rock for

308
00:12:01,030 --> 00:11:59,040
the other job and at least you got to

309
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:01,040
meet kevin smith over at nickelodeon

310
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:03,680
which again i'm a kid of the 90s i love

311
00:12:08,389 --> 00:12:06,160
kevin smith i love nickelodeon back then

312
00:12:10,310 --> 00:12:08,399
so i think i think you won out in that

313
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:10,320
one man i know it's like two elements of

314
00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:12,639
the 90s came together in a way that no

315
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:14,959
one would ever expect you know

316
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:17,680
right but uh yeah he's he's really cool

317
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:20,160
i i think i i gave like absolutely zero

318
00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:22,160
impression on him

319
00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,680
you know what i mean

320
00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:24,959
because i never know if i should like

321
00:12:29,350 --> 00:12:27,279
fanboy out or i always try to play it

322
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:29,360
cool and i think a little too cool but

323
00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:31,760
uh what was amazing is that he is so

324
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:33,279
dedicated to

325
00:12:37,509 --> 00:12:35,440
um providing joy to people like the way

326
00:12:39,590 --> 00:12:37,519
that he just kept keeping the crew

327
00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:39,600
laughing throughout the day that he was

328
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:41,920
on set it was uh it was absolutely

329
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:43,920
phenomenal like he is he is a true

330
00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:46,959
entertainer kevin smith and absolutely

331
00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:49,839
yeah yeah a keeper he's like a keeper of

332
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:51,120
of the uh

333
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:54,880
of the flame of nerdum it feels like

334
00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,360
yes we're lucky to have him love him or

335
00:13:01,829 --> 00:12:59,360
hate him love his work or hate his work

336
00:13:04,629 --> 00:13:01,839
like you can just see the passion and

337
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:04,639
like yeah he made it to that level where

338
00:13:09,350 --> 00:13:06,959
like he can pretty much do what he wants

339
00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:09,360
and he continues to do the things he

340
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:11,839
loves and uh you can tell that's in the

341
00:13:15,750 --> 00:13:13,120
world of

342
00:13:17,829 --> 00:13:15,760
pop culture and comic books and it's

343
00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:17,839
amazing it's amazing to see someone like

344
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:20,720
him and the trajectories taken and yeah

345
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:23,920
you know i i'm i'm assuming uh you and i

346
00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:26,160
are kind of the same way like if we ever

347
00:13:30,069 --> 00:13:27,920
reach that level which would be yes

348
00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:30,079
amazing and i think you're you're well

349
00:13:33,350 --> 00:13:31,839
on your way my friend you're well on

350
00:13:35,590 --> 00:13:33,360
your way um

351
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:35,600
that you stay true to like what you love

352
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:37,360
and i think that's why he has such a big

353
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:39,600
following yeah definitely he's he's like

354
00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:40,800
a uh

355
00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:42,800
he is a sort of a character in the same

356
00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,880
way that stan lee was like he he's

357
00:13:49,509 --> 00:13:46,079
created

358
00:13:51,829 --> 00:13:49,519
an an essence that is uh beyond who who

359
00:13:53,829 --> 00:13:51,839
likely the the true kevin smith actually

360
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:53,839
is it's almost like he's he's his own

361
00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:56,240
superhero you know yeah so yeah it makes

362
00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,800
me wonder who's the who's the real kevin

363
00:14:01,990 --> 00:14:00,639
smith kevin smith or kevin smith you

364
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:02,000

00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:02,800
yeah

375
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,399
have you ever had a weird paranormal

376
00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:28,800
experience anything like that

377
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:31,199
i mean it's hard to uh and i'm sure

378
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:32,480
you've probably talked about this on the

379
00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:34,880
podcast before where like sometimes you

380
00:14:38,949 --> 00:14:37,360
have a dream that's a little spiritual

381
00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:38,959
and the it feels like there's some

382
00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,480
wiggle room in terms of like what could

383
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:42,480
be an alien what could be you know

384
00:14:45,670 --> 00:14:43,760
something that usually people think is

385
00:14:47,750 --> 00:14:45,680
sort of a metaphysical or religious

386
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:47,760
experience i will say that when i was a

387
00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:50,800
kid i would very often and i grew up in

388
00:14:55,990 --> 00:14:54,079
la so lots of airplanes close to lax you

389
00:14:58,310 --> 00:14:56,000
know that kind of thing yeah i would

390
00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:58,320
always think i was seeing a ufo at night

391
00:15:02,069 --> 00:15:00,560
driving in l.a where there's nothing but

392
00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:02,079
lights on the freeway and you look up at

393
00:15:05,829 --> 00:15:03,839
the sky and you see something

394
00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:05,839
and i'm sure that they were all just uh

395
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:08,320
airplanes but it was always just like

396
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:11,120
yeah i think i just saw a ufo i had that

397
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:12,399
feeling

398
00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:17,839
no no i can't say that i have any

399
00:15:23,509 --> 00:15:20,000
specific uh

400
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:23,519
visions of uh or memories of of feeling

401
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:25,760
like i had an encounter with an alien i

402
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:28,320
had one dream when i was a kid where it

403
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:30,639
was like i had uh i was i wanted to walk

404
00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:32,399
downstairs in the stream to get to the

405
00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:34,800
fridge and i feel like i literally saw

406
00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:38,350
satan at the bottom of the staircase

407
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:42,000
[Laughter]

408
00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:44,079
wow he clearly did not want you getting

409
00:15:52,150 --> 00:15:49,910
wow what can i ask what did it look like

410
00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:52,160
is it like a prototypical sort of satan

411
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:54,639
or what we have going on there i i think

412
00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:56,320
it was sort of prototypical i can't

413
00:15:59,990 --> 00:15:58,240
remember exactly it was it looked a lot

414
00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,000
like that sort of uh you know there's

415
00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:02,079
that one character in the cantina scene

416
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:03,759
and a new hope that has the horns and

417
00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:05,440
looks like the devils it's kind of like

418
00:16:07,590 --> 00:16:06,720
that i think

419
00:16:09,590 --> 00:16:07,600
yeah

420
00:16:11,189 --> 00:16:09,600
no thank you

421
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,199
yeah i think the only aliens from the

422
00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:13,600
cantina i want to see were the the fun

423
00:16:17,350 --> 00:16:16,079
the cantina band to be honest they were

424
00:16:20,150 --> 00:16:17,360
fun

425
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:20,160
but i think la is probably the best area

426
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:22,800
to be an alien probing earth because

427
00:16:25,749 --> 00:16:24,160
it's nothing but

428
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:25,759
you know it's constantly something in

429
00:16:30,069 --> 00:16:27,360
the sky constantly hearing airplanes

430
00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:30,079
landing constantly helicopters you know

431
00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:31,040
so

432
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:32,639
it's the best

433
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:35,360
it is i spent two years in la and i had

434
00:16:40,230 --> 00:16:37,680
the you know the opportunity to go out

435
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:40,240
to like uh the mojave and stuff like

436
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:43,680
that and actually go out where there's

437
00:16:46,949 --> 00:16:45,040
i can't believe i'm saying this where

438
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:46,959
there's stars because you and i have

439
00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:49,600
both lived in l.a and new york where the

440
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,600
light pollution is insane and we don't

441
00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,440
see a lot of there's not a lot of ufo

442
00:16:59,189 --> 00:16:55,839
reports in major cities let alone new

443
00:17:01,670 --> 00:16:59,199
york or l.a but um you go just a little

444
00:17:04,549 --> 00:17:01,680
bit outside either the hudson valley

445
00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:04,559
here in new york or um you know out to

446
00:17:09,510 --> 00:17:07,199
like joshua tree out in california and

447
00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:09,520
you will see something something

448
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:11,520
extraordinary whether it's from another

449
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:13,839
planet or not that's yeah that's yet to

450
00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:15,520
be seen but yeah whether it's because of

451
00:17:21,110 --> 00:17:18,480
the ayahuasca or that yeah yeah we

452
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:21,120
should have prefaced that yeah yeah

453
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:24,319
um well let's let's get to the core of

454
00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:26,480
this maurice on mars how did this

455
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:28,720
project come to be um what kind of

456
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:31,600
inspired you to tackle the issue of uh

457
00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:34,000
colonization that's kind of the overall

458
00:17:39,190 --> 00:17:36,640
theme here yeah what if we get to mars

459
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:39,200
what if humans finally make it and that

460
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:42,720
is mirroring reality right now your your

461
00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:44,240
series could not come at a better time

462
00:17:47,830 --> 00:17:46,080
tim we're we're getting news which we're

463
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:47,840
going to talk about in a little bit

464
00:17:51,830 --> 00:17:50,240
about um we're get we're we're almost

465
00:17:54,390 --> 00:17:51,840
there we're there yeah we're getting

466
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:54,400
audio from it yeah yeah mars is

467
00:17:58,870 --> 00:17:57,120
something that i think i think every uh

468
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:58,880
you know speculative fiction writer

469
00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,280
every science fiction writer is obsessed

470
00:18:06,789 --> 00:18:03,280
with and it feels like a symbol at this

471
00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:06,799
point of uh either a threat or an

472
00:18:09,909 --> 00:18:08,240
opportunity for peace i feel like people

473
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:09,919
have that same thing with aliens and

474
00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:12,640
ufos too it's it's either a symbol of

475
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:15,039
like someone who's trying to attack us

476
00:18:20,789 --> 00:18:18,240
to probe us to to experiment on us or

477
00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:20,799
people who are coming seeking to help us

478
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:24,160
um and so using mars is that symbol and

479
00:18:28,230 --> 00:18:26,080
uh i've always been a fan of ray

480
00:18:29,990 --> 00:18:28,240
bradbury who wrote a book called the

481
00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:30,000
martian chronicles which is a series of

482
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:32,799
short stories speculating on adventures

483
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:35,120
on mars and he also did a lot of stuff

484
00:18:39,029 --> 00:18:36,960
that tackled

485
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:39,039
social issues with science fiction as

486
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:40,880
well he has a story in the martian

487
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:43,840
chronicles about these uh these black

488
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:45,840
people in the south who pitch together

489
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:47,840
money to build a rocket that will that

490
00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:50,720
will take them away from all of the uh

491
00:18:56,150 --> 00:18:53,440
the dangers and the horrors of america

492
00:18:58,150 --> 00:18:56,160
onto a rocket to mars and then it's it's

493
00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:58,160
all about how the the white people

494
00:19:02,630 --> 00:18:59,440
around them are

495
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:02,640

illustrated man there's a story called

499
00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:09,840
the other foot where the concept is that

500
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:12,320
uh black people left earth many years

00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:15,520
ago 20 years ago or so uh for mars and

502
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,679
they've been living on a colony there

503
00:19:22,630 --> 00:19:19,840
and then 20 years later all of a sudden

504
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:22,640
there's a lone rocket uh to the planet

505
00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:25,200
from a white man telling them

506
00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:26,080
okay

507
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:28,960

00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:34,080
we're we're in extreme danger can we

510
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:34,960
please

511
00:19:38,150 --> 00:19:35,760

here will do whatever you want so

514
00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,240
there's also a long history of like

515
00:19:46,070 --> 00:19:44,160
dealing with social issues i mean of

516
00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:46,080
course with science fiction science

517
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:48,400
fiction being a sort of mirror to to

518
00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:50,400
what's going on in our actual world and

519
00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,679
i had been going through this thing in

520
00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:53,840
the past five years or so

521
00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:55,919
where reading all this news about about

522
00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:58,240
mars seeing that all these billionaires

523
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:01,440
are planning you know to privatize space

524
00:20:07,270 --> 00:20:04,880
to privatize to to kind of uh bring an

525
00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:07,280
element of capitalism and of our earth

526
00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:09,679
experiences to other planets into outer

527
00:20:15,110 --> 00:20:12,480
space it became uh pretty concrete in my

528
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:15,120
mind that we are going to be on mars in

529
00:20:19,590 --> 00:20:17,600
about 20 years or so and so with that

530
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:19,600
being a concrete fact whether that's a

531
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,440
little bit off or not

532
00:20:25,669 --> 00:20:23,440
my question whenever i was like a couple

533
00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:25,679
drinks in with someone at a at a bar or

534
00:20:29,190 --> 00:20:27,679
something my goal to conversation

535
00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:29,200
because i was i this is what i've been

536
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:31,679
thinking about is okay what will happen

537
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:34,400
to religion what will happen to culture

538
00:20:38,390 --> 00:20:36,240
what happens when there are two human

539
00:20:41,270 --> 00:20:38,400
cultures one that's on on one planet one

540
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:41,280
that's on another uh and how how will

541
00:20:46,470 --> 00:20:43,919
certain things translate when we know

542
00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:46,480
for a fact that we are some people are

543
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:48,960
gonna be on another an entirely

544
00:20:53,430 --> 00:20:50,960
different planet

545
00:20:55,510 --> 00:20:53,440
and so with that circulating in my mind

546
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:55,520
we fast forward to there's a global

547
00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:56,720
pandemic

548
00:21:00,149 --> 00:20:58,960
uh i'm working for the tonight show from

549
00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:00,159
my apartment

550
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:02,240
there's the murder of george floyd which

551
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:05,440
sparks this massive uh wave of protests

552
00:21:10,390 --> 00:21:08,320
people having a a social and racial

553
00:21:12,789 --> 00:21:10,400
reckoning in america and across the

554
00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:12,799
globe and uh i'll never forget it it

555
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:16,080
feels like i believe it was the next day

556
00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:18,720
after donald trump uh

557
00:21:21,990 --> 00:21:19,840
uh

558
00:21:24,310 --> 00:21:22,000
probably tweeted or stated that he was

559
00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:24,320
gonna sick the national guard on the the

560
00:21:28,390 --> 00:21:25,919
protesters the black lives matter

561
00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:28,400
protesters that the first spacex the

562
00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:31,039
first private rocket launched into space

563
00:21:35,110 --> 00:21:33,200
and to me that was the clearest vision

564
00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:35,120
of what is actually happening you

565
00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:36,880
couldn't even write it it's just like

566
00:21:39,830 --> 00:21:39,200
the world is on fire the billionaires

567
00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:39,840
are

568
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:41,039
going to

569
00:21:49,510 --> 00:21:47,280
space uh and so around that time uh uh

570
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,520
comedy central was looking for specific

571
00:21:53,029 --> 00:21:50,880
people to create something in the

572
00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:53,039
animated space and i kind of filtered

573
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:54,720
all that stuff that had been swirling in

574
00:21:59,669 --> 00:21:57,120
my brain into this one concept called

575
00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:59,679
maurice on mars which is a like you said

576
00:22:03,830 --> 00:22:01,039
it's about a struggling artist who works

577
00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,840
at a coffee shop on earth sneaks onto a

578
00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:05,679
martian colony that's supposed to be a

579
00:22:10,470 --> 00:22:07,919
utopia the only job he can get there is

580
00:22:13,029 --> 00:22:10,480
also at a coffee shop and the idea is

581
00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:13,039
that everyone who to keep this a utopia

582
00:22:18,310 --> 00:22:15,600
to make this utopia work everyone gets a

583
00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:18,320
mandatory uh fact inhibitor chip that

584
00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:19,919
blocks certain earth memories about

585
00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,159
things like war things about all kinds

586
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:24,640
of conflicts so that you can keep uh the

587
00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:27,440
peace on this uh on this colony but

588
00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:29,360
since maurice snuck on he doesn't have

589
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:31,520
that chip and so he's literally the only

590
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,320
person who can see how this colony is

591
00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:36,480
just repeating the same problems so he's

592
00:22:41,029 --> 00:22:38,880
kind of the only hope for for actual

593
00:22:43,510 --> 00:22:41,039
change and and peace on this on this

594
00:22:45,669 --> 00:22:43,520
colony it's sort of a classic you know

595
00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:45,679
tree of knowledge uh situation or

596
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:48,080
question happening there um and it's

597
00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,480
also a parallel an element of my own

598
00:22:54,950 --> 00:22:52,159
life when i had first moved to chicago

599
00:22:57,590 --> 00:22:54,960
to pursue comedy uh i remember one of my

600
00:22:59,909 --> 00:22:57,600
first jobs was at a dunkin donuts a

601
00:23:01,590 --> 00:22:59,919
horrible job and then i always had the

602
00:23:02,789 --> 00:23:01,600
night shift so i couldn't pursue my

603
00:23:05,110 --> 00:23:02,799
dreams

604
00:23:07,909 --> 00:23:05,120
of of doing comedy at night because i

605
00:23:09,669 --> 00:23:07,919
was stuck selling donuts so it's also

606
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:09,679
about that sort of tension that i think

607
00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:12,400
a lot of artists have where you're not

608
00:23:16,950 --> 00:23:14,159
allowed to pursue the real thing that

609
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:16,960
drives you because you got to pay rent

610
00:23:22,630 --> 00:23:20,480
you know making lattes or whatever so

611
00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:22,640
there's kind of something that i i tried

612
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:24,799
to pack into it's only going to be three

613
00:23:28,470 --> 00:23:26,720
episodes and they're all about five

614
00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:28,480
minutes but i tried to pack enough in

615
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:30,000
there that hopefully gets people

616
00:23:35,029 --> 00:23:32,159
interested and if they want more maybe

617
00:23:38,149 --> 00:23:35,039
it become its own show or you know maybe

618
00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:38,159
i'll just write a series of uh of novels

619
00:23:46,149 --> 00:23:44,070
well well and that's the thing like

620
00:23:48,470 --> 00:23:46,159
the way you uh

621
00:23:51,269 --> 00:23:48,480
you explain you know kind of the overall

622
00:23:54,070 --> 00:23:51,279
theme of it uh it's very powerful and i

623
00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:54,080
think it's something that uh deserves a

624
00:23:58,710 --> 00:23:57,039
bigger space to tell that story and kind

625
00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:58,720
of convey the messages you're trying to

626
00:24:02,789 --> 00:24:00,960
get out there and um

627
00:24:04,950 --> 00:24:02,799
you know those three episodes like you

628
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:04,960
said could literally turn into anything

629
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:07,360
it could turn into a movie a cartoon a

630
00:24:13,269 --> 00:24:11,120
novel um but it is it's these big ideas

631
00:24:15,990 --> 00:24:13,279
that have been around for

632
00:24:16,950 --> 00:24:16,000
a long time but it's how you convey it

633
00:24:19,669 --> 00:24:16,960
to

634
00:24:22,310 --> 00:24:19,679
an audience and i think again like we're

635
00:24:25,350 --> 00:24:22,320
living in an age now where kind of

636
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:25,360
i guess adult animation not not like in

637
00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:29,120
the sense of like oh xxx but like adult

638
00:24:34,789 --> 00:24:32,640
comedy such like family guy and

639
00:24:37,029 --> 00:24:34,799
stuff like that um they're a big thing

640
00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:37,039
now and they weren't really a thing some

641
00:24:42,549 --> 00:24:40,799
20 years ago uh and kind of tackling

642
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:42,559
those social issues you know love or

643
00:24:45,909 --> 00:24:43,840
hate something like family guy like

644
00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:45,919
there were times they did tackle some

645
00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:48,320
really big things same with south park i

646
00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:50,480
mean that south park was so in your face

647
00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:52,480
with it that it was yeah brilliant the

648
00:24:57,190 --> 00:24:54,080
way they tackled those things

649
00:24:58,549 --> 00:24:57,200
um so i love this idea of again someone

650
00:25:01,669 --> 00:24:58,559
going to mars

651
00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:01,679
and um just like you said the same

652
00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:03,760
issues start to arise because just

653
00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:05,520
because you're going somewhere different

654
00:25:10,549 --> 00:25:07,840
doesn't mean it's going to change i

655
00:25:13,029 --> 00:25:10,559
guess the problems you had on another

656
00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:13,039
planet it's an easy escape from the

657
00:25:18,070 --> 00:25:16,240
problems in my in my opinion um and i

658
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:18,080
love the concept too that maurice is the

659
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:20,320
only one who doesn't have these memories

660
00:25:25,430 --> 00:25:22,480
of or excuse me does have these memories

661
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:25,440
of earth and nobody else does and you

662
00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:27,840
know we can't run away from what we've

663
00:25:32,710 --> 00:25:30,559
done in the past and and um

664
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:32,720
you know just because we destroyed earth

665
00:25:35,669 --> 00:25:34,320
and go to another planet doesn't mean

666
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:35,679
we're not going to do the same thing

667
00:25:44,149 --> 00:25:38,720
over and over and over again oh god it

668
00:25:48,870 --> 00:25:45,830
i also really wanted to create the world

669
00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:48,880
of mars in a way that was casual and not

670
00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:51,279
hyper sci-fi because i think sort of

671
00:25:57,110 --> 00:25:53,360
like a hyper sci-fi has already been

672
00:25:58,870 --> 00:25:57,120
done with shows like futurama and uh you

673
00:26:01,430 --> 00:25:58,880
know the sort of um

674
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:01,440
and i didn't want it to be a world where

675
00:26:06,230 --> 00:26:04,720
uh you know aliens necessarily exist i

676
00:26:08,390 --> 00:26:06,240
wanted us to

677
00:26:11,430 --> 00:26:08,400
to still have that issue on mars that we

678
00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:11,440
have on earth of not quite knowing if

679
00:26:17,430 --> 00:26:14,159
there is uh extraterrestrial life but

680
00:26:21,110 --> 00:26:17,440
there is one character who very likely

681
00:26:23,669 --> 00:26:21,120
is an alien but is in hiding and so um a

682
00:26:25,510 --> 00:26:23,679
question is you know

683
00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:25,520
why why is she there is she there to

684
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:29,679
study uh human life is she there to um

685
00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:32,159
to to escape something some some bigger

686
00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:33,840
thing that's happening with other aliens

687
00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,039
beyond mars is she from mars there are a

688
00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:39,440
lot of uh things to be explored there

689
00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,720
but i i

690
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:42,480
i didn't wanna i didn't want it to be in

691
00:26:46,630 --> 00:26:44,880
that sort of science fiction

692
00:26:48,789 --> 00:26:46,640
lane where

693
00:26:50,870 --> 00:26:48,799
uh there are just a tons of you know

694
00:26:52,630 --> 00:26:50,880
weird-looking aliens everywhere i wanted

695
00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:52,640
to be very grounded

696
00:26:57,830 --> 00:26:54,960
uh science fiction exploration of of

697
00:27:01,269 --> 00:26:57,840
humanity basically uh and also funny and

698
00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:01,279
i hope people find it funny too uh yeah

699
00:27:06,310 --> 00:27:03,120
yeah yeah this ain't your uh your

700
00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:06,320
cantina for sure

701
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:08,640
um well let's let's rewind just a little

702
00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,640
bit tim if you don't mind um yeah could

703
00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:12,400
you tell us about the creative team

704
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:14,000
behind this i've got the little cartoon

705
00:27:17,590 --> 00:27:15,600
there i know these

706
00:27:21,269 --> 00:27:17,600
the animators i believe they're in

707
00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:21,279
brooklyn um and uh how did it come to be

708
00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:23,200
that you got hooked up with this company

709
00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:26,240
and uh you're at your your voice actors

710
00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:29,039
so many notable people i might say um

711
00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:30,640
yeah tell us a little about the creative

712
00:27:34,950 --> 00:27:32,480
process if you don't mind

713
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:34,960
yeah it uh it was a bit of a journey we

714
00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:37,600
uh uh there are a few different options

715
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:39,600
of uh animation companies to work with

716
00:27:44,950 --> 00:27:42,880
and i chose cartoona because they had uh

717
00:27:47,909 --> 00:27:44,960
they've done so many different styles of

718
00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:47,919
animation and i felt like i could and as

719
00:27:51,669 --> 00:27:49,279
someone who's new

720
00:27:54,149 --> 00:27:51,679
to uh both writing for animation and

721
00:27:55,029 --> 00:27:54,159
creating something animated uh i wanted

722
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:55,039
to

723
00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:57,600
work with the company that was a little

724
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:00,000
more experienced uh and so that was like

725
00:28:03,430 --> 00:28:02,080
a big reason why i chose them and

726
00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:03,440
knowing that they could tackle a lot of

727
00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:05,600
different styles gave me confidence that

728
00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:07,520
we could figure out a specific style for

729
00:28:13,029 --> 00:28:10,880
maurice on mars and uh beyond cartoona i

730
00:28:15,350 --> 00:28:13,039

unique style so we brought him on to

737
00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:30,799
design the characters and i think you

738
00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:32,640
can see an element of that and uh the

739
00:28:36,470 --> 00:28:34,320
look of all the characters in maurice on

uh

744
00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:44,720
a specific process for animation where

i do not want to meet that character

765
00:29:37,110 --> 00:29:35,200
uh we've got ashok kondabolu uh i used

766
00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:37,120
to produce a podcast that he that he

767
00:29:39,830 --> 00:29:38,480
would co-host with his brother hari

768
00:29:41,430 --> 00:29:39,840
kondabolu

769
00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:41,440
and he voices this sort of martian

770
00:29:46,149 --> 00:29:42,480
hipster

771
00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:46,159
his name is alistair and uh finally we

772
00:29:50,470 --> 00:29:48,080
have uh

773
00:29:52,389 --> 00:29:50,480
uh joe he's the regular in the the

774
00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:52,399
coffee shop he's always reading a weird

775
00:29:56,789 --> 00:29:54,640
different book and he's voiced by one of

776
00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:56,799
the greatest comedians of all time

777
00:30:02,149 --> 00:30:00,240
dwayne kennedy a chicago comic who i

778
00:30:04,470 --> 00:30:02,159
think should be a household name

779
00:30:06,149 --> 00:30:04,480
uh he uh he's just the funniest person

780
00:30:08,230 --> 00:30:06,159
in the world some of the funniest lines

781
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:08,240
in all three episodes are things that he

782
00:30:13,430 --> 00:30:11,120
just ad-libbed while recording uh and uh

783
00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:13,440
i think he's just like

784
00:30:19,110 --> 00:30:15,520
it's the best he's the best his

785
00:30:20,870 --> 00:30:19,120
character is amazing uh and so yeah so

786
00:30:24,070 --> 00:30:20,880
with animation it's the first thing you

787
00:30:26,630 --> 00:30:24,080
do is uh you get your cast uh we this

788
00:30:29,350 --> 00:30:26,640
was uh recorded in the the height of the

789
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:29,360
pandemic so we sent specialized mics to

790
00:30:35,430 --> 00:30:32,640
each uh actor uh recorded them all

791
00:30:37,510 --> 00:30:35,440
individually one at a time uh so we got

792
00:30:39,909 --> 00:30:37,520
different styles of of them saying

793
00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:39,919
different lines and once we compiled all

794
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:41,520
of that the first thing you get is the

795
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:44,720
radio play and uh that's just the audio

796
00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:47,440
maybe with a few sound effects and uh

797
00:30:51,510 --> 00:30:49,279
gave some notes on that and once that's

798
00:30:54,310 --> 00:30:51,520
locked that radio play gets sent off to

799
00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:54,320
the animators uh and before it actually

800
00:30:58,630 --> 00:30:56,159
starts getting animated there is a

801
00:31:01,669 --> 00:30:58,640
storyboard so a storyboard artist uh

802
00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:01,679
draws images of what each uh shot will

803
00:31:03,590 --> 00:31:02,720
look like

804
00:31:06,070 --> 00:31:03,600
uh

805
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:06,080
to match the radio play and that that

806
00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:07,440
gets edited into what's called an

807
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:10,320
animatic so there's levels of notes and

808
00:31:15,990 --> 00:31:12,720
approval for each of these steps and the

809
00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:16,000
animatic is just those images uh uh

810
00:31:21,509 --> 00:31:19,919
playing alongside the radio play

811
00:31:23,110 --> 00:31:21,519
lock that down you send it to the

812
00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:23,120
animators you get one cut of it send

813
00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,480
some notes get another cut send some

814
00:31:28,389 --> 00:31:26,000
notes you say can i get a blink here can

815
00:31:30,870 --> 00:31:28,399
they smile here can you know his hand do

816
00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:30,880
this that kind of thing wow and i

817
00:31:36,070 --> 00:31:32,640
learned a lot about just having to be

818
00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:36,080
super specific um with my notes because

819
00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:37,760
um there was only you know certain

820
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:39,840
number of rounds of notes that i could

821
00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:43,679
give and uh i am so blessed that uh

822
00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:45,279
comedy central made me completely

823
00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:48,399
unaware of the budget so so i'm sure

824
00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:50,720
that i'm sure that uh

825
00:31:55,190 --> 00:31:52,640
you know there probably were a few times

826
00:31:56,789 --> 00:31:55,200
that i especially on the first episode

827
00:31:58,950 --> 00:31:56,799
where it's just like i'm trying i'm kind

828
00:32:02,070 --> 00:31:58,960
of wiggling with what's technically

829
00:32:03,750 --> 00:32:02,080
within the means you know

830
00:32:06,230 --> 00:32:03,760
but since the first episode especially

831
00:32:08,950 --> 00:32:06,240
like i i had to just could be hyper

832
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:08,960
focused on being as specific as possible

833
00:32:13,430 --> 00:32:11,200
with my notes knowing that uh there's a

834
00:32:15,430 --> 00:32:13,440
limited number of times that i can can

835
00:32:19,669 --> 00:32:15,440
you know rev this machine until we get

836
00:32:20,549 --> 00:32:19,679
the the locked episode um and it's it's

837
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:20,559
been

838
00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:22,080
just a wonderful experience because it's

839
00:32:26,070 --> 00:32:23,519
someone who

840
00:32:27,509 --> 00:32:26,080
loves film uh studied film

841
00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:27,519
this uh

842
00:32:33,350 --> 00:32:30,159
animation is filmmaking and um it

843
00:32:36,149 --> 00:32:33,360
deserves to be to be treated as such uh

844
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:36,159
and there's so many talented people that

845
00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:38,399
are involved and that it takes to make

846
00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:40,559
to make something like this possible and

847
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:42,720
the i already had a lot of respect going

848
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:45,039
in but i gained so much more coming out

849
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:47,840
of it and i love animation and would

850
00:32:53,029 --> 00:32:50,480
love to to work uh in that space more if

851
00:32:56,230 --> 00:32:53,039
there's ever you know an opportunity uh

852
00:32:59,190 --> 00:32:56,240
yeah again i'm rambling aren't i no this

853
00:33:01,750 --> 00:32:59,200
is so cool i think you know for me and i

854
00:33:04,549 --> 00:33:01,760
hope the audience too like i had no idea

855
00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:04,559
what went into making a cartoon or an

856
00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:07,360
animated series and i that's i never

857
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:09,200
dawned on me yeah it's kind of like a

858
00:33:13,830 --> 00:33:11,600
play like you start with a radio play

859
00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:13,840
like in the old days you just hear it

860
00:33:17,509 --> 00:33:15,840
you imagine and

861
00:33:19,830 --> 00:33:17,519
when you're listening to these old radio

862
00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:19,840
shows you are imagining what's happening

863
00:33:22,870 --> 00:33:21,200
what do these characters look like

864
00:33:25,110 --> 00:33:22,880
you're you're sort of

865
00:33:28,630 --> 00:33:25,120
molding it in your head and manifesting

866
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:28,640
it and um yeah that's so cool

867
00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:30,240
when you see a cartoon you're like oh it

868
00:33:35,190 --> 00:33:32,480
all just kind of falls into place but no

869
00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:35,200
there's so many unbelievably complex

870
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:36,960
steps going into it so that's cool that

871
00:33:41,590 --> 00:33:39,120
you had like a learning process through

872
00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:41,600
it all and um now i have so much more

873
00:33:46,630 --> 00:33:44,320
respect on how these things are made um

874
00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:46,640
that's crazy and it's it's crazy too to

875
00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:49,600
think nowadays yeah you can mail a mic

876
00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:53,039
to an actor in zimbabwe and have them

877
00:33:57,190 --> 00:33:55,200
you know voice a character for you and

878
00:33:59,269 --> 00:33:57,200
boom like things have changed this

879
00:34:01,590 --> 00:33:59,279
pandemic has really changed the

880
00:34:04,070 --> 00:34:01,600
workforce in many many different ways

881
00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,080
like you mentioned your work with um

882
00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:06,480
with with all the the late night shows

883
00:34:11,589 --> 00:34:08,320
and whatnot like these are all done

884
00:34:13,109 --> 00:34:11,599
remotely which is crazy to think like

885
00:34:14,550 --> 00:34:13,119
we're kind of in this age where like do

886
00:34:15,510 --> 00:34:14,560
we need all these

887
00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:15,520
you know

888
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:17,919
50-story buildings in new york city or

889
00:34:21,510 --> 00:34:19,200
can we just it's almost like we're

890
00:34:23,589 --> 00:34:21,520
hooking ourselves up to a matrix of uh

891
00:34:24,550 --> 00:34:23,599
individualized matrixes

892
00:34:27,909 --> 00:34:24,560
yes

893
00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:27,919
exactly man um yeah well okay that's

894
00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:30,480
cool well i wanna before we move on from

895
00:34:35,589 --> 00:34:33,200
the series um some of those social

896
00:34:36,790 --> 00:34:35,599
issues you know in the first episode i

897
00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:36,800
watch you've got the idea of

898
00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:39,760
colonization and you also have this idea

899
00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:42,320
of drones and i don't know maybe i'm off

900
00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:44,480
the mark but when i watch the episode

901
00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:46,639
these drones they are quote unquote like

902
00:34:52,629 --> 00:34:49,760
a law enforcement and um the way they

903
00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:52,639
talk the way they do things it's

904
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:54,960
very reminiscent of um

905
00:34:58,230 --> 00:34:56,480
some of the social issues we're dealing

906
00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:58,240
with in today's world with law

907
00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:00,480
enforcement um and that's kind of what i

908
00:35:04,470 --> 00:35:02,400
took from it is this um

909
00:35:07,670 --> 00:35:04,480
you know we live in an age where we can

910
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:07,680
literally profile someone in a heartbeat

911
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:10,160
facial recognition stuff like this which

912
00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,440
is terrifying and um

913
00:35:17,910 --> 00:35:15,680
and scary and i kind of saw that played

914
00:35:19,910 --> 00:35:17,920
out through the drone characters in in

915
00:35:21,990 --> 00:35:19,920
the first episode so what are some of

916
00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:22,000
the social issues you'll be tackling in

917
00:35:27,670 --> 00:35:23,680
future episodes too

918
00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:27,680
uh episode two is about sports on mars

919
00:35:31,030 --> 00:35:29,200
and episode three

920
00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:31,040
is about the very first recession on

921
00:35:35,030 --> 00:35:33,520
mars so when it comes to sports the the

922
00:35:36,150 --> 00:35:35,040
conversation is

923
00:35:37,190 --> 00:35:36,160
about

924
00:35:39,589 --> 00:35:37,200
why

925
00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:39,599
we attach so much emotional importance

926
00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:40,880
to teams

927
00:35:44,470 --> 00:35:41,839
and

928
00:35:46,069 --> 00:35:44,480
what it means to own a team

929
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:46,079
and uh

930
00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:46,880
uh

931
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:49,680
i'll just say it episode two is about

932
00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:52,160
it's about uh that braxton tusk

933
00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:54,480
character who's a combination of of elon

934
00:36:01,670 --> 00:35:58,480
musk richard branson and uh jeff bezos

935
00:36:04,470 --> 00:36:01,680
he owns the only two sports teams on

936
00:36:07,750 --> 00:36:04,480
mars and so the question arrives

937
00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:10,150
love i love a monopoly if i've ever

938
00:36:15,109 --> 00:36:13,040
heard yeah yeah what does it mean to

939
00:36:17,109 --> 00:36:15,119
have a monopoly like that

940
00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:17,119
what does it mean to know that that's a

941
00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:18,880
monopoly and not care

942
00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:20,079
and uh

943
00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:22,720
and what you know what even is a sport

944
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:27,280
so we dive into into all of that um i i

945
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:29,040
really think that that just like

946
00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:30,960
seriously saying anything and then

947
00:36:34,710 --> 00:36:32,960
putting on mars at the end is already

948
00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:34,720
fun and feels like there's so much so

949
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:36,800
many ways to explore it you know so you

950
00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:39,040
know policing on mars sports on mars

951
00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:41,200
recession on mars i think it's just a

952
00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:42,800
great uh

953
00:36:48,470 --> 00:36:45,280
way to to draw connections to what's

954
00:36:50,550 --> 00:36:48,480
happening in our own reality right now

955
00:36:52,470 --> 00:36:50,560
but also hopefully you know everything

956
00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:52,480
is universal enough that you can attach

957
00:36:58,790 --> 00:36:56,560
it to other things as as time goes by um

958
00:37:01,510 --> 00:36:58,800
yeah and i i just naturally find so much

959
00:37:03,109 --> 00:37:01,520
humor in

960
00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:03,119
i mean it sounds horrible like the world

961
00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:05,280
is horrible but i think like many

962
00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:06,560
comedians

963
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:09,839
it's in those tense uh

964
00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:12,160
societal issues that

965
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:17,030
a comedic eye can point out certain

966
00:37:21,190 --> 00:37:19,280
ironies and still make it funny but

967
00:37:22,630 --> 00:37:21,200
still make it you know something that

968
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:22,640
you can think about in a way that you

969
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:24,720
wouldn't have otherwise and so that that

970
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:27,760
was a big goal for from reese on mars uh

971
00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:28,960
and i think like this is the first

972
00:37:31,910 --> 00:37:30,800
project that is like something i've made

973
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:31,920
on my own

974
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:35,760
um and that i think expresses my comedic

975
00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:39,200
voice in a very concise way so i'm just

976
00:37:47,910 --> 00:37:40,880
super excited that it's out and i hope

977
00:37:53,270 --> 00:37:50,069

weird and the unexplained then we want

00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:43,040
you to check out jim harold's campfire

996
00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:45,680
the concept is pretty simple jim talks

997
00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:48,480
to regular people about strange stuff

998
00:38:54,230 --> 00:38:50,560
that happens to them and yes that

999
00:38:56,790 --> 00:38:54,240
includes ufos along with cryptids ghosts

1000
00:38:59,910 --> 00:38:56,800
and head scratchers he doesn't

1001
00:39:02,069 --> 00:38:59,920
exaggerate or play a lot of spooky music

1002
00:39:04,870 --> 00:39:02,079
kind of like i'm doing right now the

1003
00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:04,880
stories speak for themselves one's like

1004
00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:07,680
a ghost story involving serial killer

1005
00:39:13,670 --> 00:39:10,320
ted bundy or the young man who

1006
00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:13,680
encountered an eight-legged demon then

1007
00:39:18,870 --> 00:39:16,160
there's the story of an alien abduction

1008
00:39:21,829 --> 00:39:18,880
by what could be considered a reptilian

1009
00:39:24,150 --> 00:39:21,839
now not all the stories are horrifying

1010
00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:24,160
some are actually pretty heartwarming

1011
00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:27,119
like a visit from a past loved one or a

1012
00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:29,440
peaceful near-death experience

1013
00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:32,320
regardless these are true and

1014
00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:35,280
fascinating stories told by ordinary

1015
00:39:38,950 --> 00:39:37,280
people who've had extraordinary

1016
00:39:41,589 --> 00:39:38,960
experiences

1017
00:39:45,109 --> 00:39:41,599
tune in to jim harold's campfire on

1018
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:45,119
apple podcasts spotify or wherever you

1019

listen to somewhere in the skies and

1020
00:39:52,069 --> 00:39:48,720
remember

1021
00:39:57,589 --> 00:39:55,030
and uh we should mention you are in the

1022
00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:57,599
show you do play more right yeah we

1023
00:40:02,310 --> 00:39:59,760
didn't even mention that i know i do

1024
00:40:04,470 --> 00:40:02,320
play maurice and i i you know as vain as

1025
00:40:06,230 --> 00:40:04,480
that may seem i do think of him as

1026
00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:06,240
someone other than myself and like if

1027
00:40:09,910 --> 00:40:08,240
you look if you look at all my emails

1028
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:09,920
whenever i give notes about him i say

1029
00:40:13,190 --> 00:40:11,520
can maurice do this can reece do that

1030
00:40:14,870 --> 00:40:13,200
can we say this because i have to

1031
00:40:17,430 --> 00:40:14,880
separate him for myself i think that

1032
00:40:18,390 --> 00:40:17,440
would be absolutely insane if i were if

1033
00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:18,400
i were

1034
00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:20,400
you know um

1035
00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:22,560
but i think for uh

1036
00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:25,200
for the the process it was uh it just

1037
00:40:29,349 --> 00:40:27,680
made sense to make the character um look

1038
00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:29,359
like me uh

1039
00:40:34,230 --> 00:40:32,720
i i was uh up until like the very last

1040
00:40:36,069 --> 00:40:34,240
minute about the decision i was kind of

1041
00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:36,079
torn about should i have someone else

1042
00:40:40,309 --> 00:40:38,000
play maurice should maurice have a

1043
00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:40,319
different look but i think with this all

1044
00:40:44,790 --> 00:40:42,240
like i was saying being so condensed in

1045
00:40:46,390 --> 00:40:44,800
what is my actual comedic voice it it

1046
00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:46,400
ended up making the most sense to make

1047
00:40:50,790 --> 00:40:49,520
maurice um look like me uh but he's much

1048
00:40:52,390 --> 00:40:50,800
younger than me he has a little more

1049
00:40:56,069 --> 00:40:52,400
hope than i actually do

1050
00:41:00,710 --> 00:40:58,309
yeah yeah he's an all-around sweet guy

1051
00:41:03,910 --> 00:41:00,720
that maurice yeah i love it i love it

1052
00:41:06,390 --> 00:41:03,920
hey i've a lot of people who listen and

1053
00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:06,400
watch my podcast you know they sometimes

1054
00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:08,720
think i'm playing a character

1055
00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:11,440
yeah we're all performing in some way

1056
00:41:15,109 --> 00:41:13,440
shape or form so i'd like to think of

1057
00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:15,119
myself the same way i come off very

1058
00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:18,079
optimistic on the podcast and then i

1059
00:41:22,630 --> 00:41:20,480
unrecord you know push stop and i'm like

1060
00:41:25,109 --> 00:41:22,640
oh god the world is a horrible

1061
00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:25,119
scary place but hopefully the aliens

1062
00:41:30,309 --> 00:41:27,280
will come and save us all someday

1063
00:41:32,790 --> 00:41:30,319
someday but hey there's our transition

1064
00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:32,800
there we go yes are the aliens going to

1065
00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:35,040
save us tim um

1066
00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:37,280
before we get to that question uh what

1067
00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:39,680
do you think what are your personal

1068
00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:42,480
thoughts on alien life do you think

1069
00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:44,560
we've been visited we have thousands of

1070
00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:47,119
people claiming they've seen ufos or

1071
00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:49,920
they've encountered beings or even been

1072
00:41:53,750 --> 00:41:52,880
kidnapped by them i mean this lore goes

1073
00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:53,760
back

1074
00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:56,880
centuries if decades if not centuries at

1075
00:42:00,230 --> 00:41:58,560
this point um yeah but what are your

1076
00:42:03,670 --> 00:42:00,240
personal thoughts on these bigger

1077
00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:03,680
questions of are we alone um and and if

1078
00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:05,280
we aren't alone

1079
00:42:09,109 --> 00:42:07,280
what would that mean for our planet if

1080
00:42:11,589 --> 00:42:09,119
you know they did come and land here one

1081
00:42:13,270 --> 00:42:11,599
day or we did get to mars and find holy

1082
00:42:15,589 --> 00:42:13,280
crap they've been here for you know

1083
00:42:17,589 --> 00:42:15,599
billions of years um those are a lot of

1084
00:42:19,430 --> 00:42:17,599
big broad questions i just asked yeah

1085
00:42:22,309 --> 00:42:19,440
what do you think about alien life

1086
00:42:24,630 --> 00:42:22,319
i think there definitely is alien life i

1087
00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:24,640
think it's foolish to think that um that

1088
00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:27,200
there isn't and so i'm naturally just

1089
00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:29,680
always interested in that question of

1090
00:42:33,190 --> 00:42:30,480
like

1091
00:42:35,030 --> 00:42:33,200
when we discover this alien life

1092
00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:35,040
how that will affect everything because

1093
00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:36,720
i think it will be a situation that's

1094
00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:39,280
similar to the discovery that the earth

1095
00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:42,240
isn't flat or that the the you know the

1096
00:42:46,790 --> 00:42:44,160
sun doesn't revolve around earth we

1097
00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:46,800
revolve around the sun i think we have

1098
00:42:52,870 --> 00:42:49,520
we tend as humans to have this very um

1099
00:42:55,510 --> 00:42:52,880
selfish view of things and uh i think

1100
00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:55,520
there is some danger in uh in how you

1101
00:42:58,470 --> 00:42:57,119
know the classic the day the earth stood

1102
00:43:01,430 --> 00:42:58,480
still situation

1103
00:43:04,870 --> 00:43:01,440
uh of how we will react to um the

1104
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:04,880
discovery of of alien life um

1105
00:43:10,829 --> 00:43:07,520
i also don't think it will be i oddly

1106
00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:10,839
after ex the experiences of the last few

1107
00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:14,480
years um i have a newfound appreciation

1108
00:43:18,950 --> 00:43:16,880
for the human ability to adapt and i

1109
00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:18,960
think that we would actually

1110
00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:20,880
uh the two sides of the coin for me are

1111
00:43:25,349 --> 00:43:22,880
like the world will be on fire there'll

1112
00:43:27,510 --> 00:43:25,359
be worldwide panic you know religions

1113
00:43:28,550 --> 00:43:27,520
will have to shuffle to figure out how

1114
00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:28,560
they're going to deal with this new

1115
00:43:32,870 --> 00:43:30,400
knowledge do you try to convert the

1116
00:43:34,309 --> 00:43:32,880
aliens do you try and hear what their

1117
00:43:35,750 --> 00:43:34,319
religions are

1118
00:43:37,910 --> 00:43:35,760
uh

1119
00:43:39,829 --> 00:43:37,920
but at the other end of that is that we

1120
00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:39,839
have the ability to adapt to so many

1121
00:43:45,270 --> 00:43:42,480
things that maybe this just won't be

1122
00:43:48,150 --> 00:43:45,280
actually as big a deal as we think i

1123
00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:48,160
mean the fact that the sort of ufo

1124
00:43:51,510 --> 00:43:50,400
revelations from the government came out

1125
00:43:52,829 --> 00:43:51,520
during this

1126
00:43:54,710 --> 00:43:52,839
pandemic

1127
00:43:56,470 --> 00:43:54,720
uh oh god

1128
00:43:58,390 --> 00:43:56,480
it was it was like the height of just

1129
00:44:01,270 --> 00:43:58,400
not knowing how to take any information

1130
00:44:02,550 --> 00:44:01,280
in that that stuff started coming out

1131
00:44:04,550 --> 00:44:02,560
um

1132
00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:04,560
i i

1133
00:44:09,670 --> 00:44:06,560
like what a what

1134
00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:09,680
you know the the fantasy prone part of

1135
00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:11,200
my brain is like

1136
00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:12,960
okay what is it gonna look like when the

1137
00:44:17,349 --> 00:44:15,200
government finally admits ufos are real

1138
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:17,359
and i honestly can tell you it wasn't in

1139
00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:19,760
the middle of a freaking pandemic

1140
00:44:23,349 --> 00:44:22,000
and um you know maybe the politicians

1141
00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:23,359
trying to do it

1142
00:44:27,589 --> 00:44:25,359
maybe well hey that's a lot of people

1143
00:44:29,670 --> 00:44:27,599
think they're like okay we've thrown

1144
00:44:32,150 --> 00:44:29,680
everything else at them like if we're

1145
00:44:34,230 --> 00:44:32,160
gonna tell them that we've known for

1146
00:44:36,550 --> 00:44:34,240
decades aliens exist something crashed

1147
00:44:38,950 --> 00:44:36,560
in new mexico in the 40s and we got

1148
00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:38,960
bodies like now's the time so yeah i

1149
00:44:42,550 --> 00:44:40,160
don't know i don't know maybe they're

1150
00:44:44,390 --> 00:44:42,560
slowly getting there and we got a space

1151
00:44:45,430 --> 00:44:44,400
force now like so many things happened

1152
00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:45,440
in the last

1153
00:44:49,670 --> 00:44:48,000
few years that we're in the height of

1154
00:44:51,109 --> 00:44:49,680
misinformation and just not knowing how

1155
00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,119
to take anything in

1156
00:44:55,109 --> 00:44:53,440
that like i genuinely want to know like

1157
00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:55,119
maybe donald trump

1158
00:44:59,109 --> 00:44:57,920
heard had some weird information

1159
00:45:00,309 --> 00:44:59,119
that was like

1160
00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:00,319
you know

1161
00:45:05,190 --> 00:45:02,319
maybe this is maybe we should have a

1162
00:45:07,910 --> 00:45:05,200
space force i don't know i i don't know

1163
00:45:09,829 --> 00:45:07,920
what it means um

1164
00:45:12,470 --> 00:45:09,839
so it i definitely have this this

1165
00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:12,480
overall feeling that uh

1166
00:45:16,630 --> 00:45:14,400
that we are preparing for something if i

1167
00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:16,640
were to put my conspiracy hat on i think

1168
00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:19,119
the government is trying to prepare us

1169
00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:21,520
for something i just don't know exactly

1170
00:45:23,750 --> 00:45:22,800
what that is

1171
00:45:26,230 --> 00:45:23,760
um

1172
00:45:28,550 --> 00:45:26,240
but maybe you know i i think there's

1173
00:45:30,309 --> 00:45:28,560
alien life there has to be intelligent

1174
00:45:32,470 --> 00:45:30,319
alien life the equivalent of ourselves

1175
00:45:34,470 --> 00:45:32,480
or higher but you know this i want to

1176
00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:34,480
talk i want to meet you know

1177
00:45:39,030 --> 00:45:36,480
i want to see an alien cow i want to see

1178
00:45:40,790 --> 00:45:39,040
an alien you know we're so obsessed with

1179
00:45:41,750 --> 00:45:40,800
the intelligent part like i feel like we

1180
00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:41,760
don't like

1181
00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:44,640
an alien bird or you know uh let's talk

1182
00:45:48,870 --> 00:45:47,280
about those like i'm sure

1183
00:45:51,270 --> 00:45:48,880
has life technically already been

1184
00:45:54,069 --> 00:45:51,280
discovered on a microscopic level yet on

1185
00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:54,079
mars or anywhere else i'm sure it has

1186
00:45:59,390 --> 00:45:56,720
i mean there have been several times now

1187
00:46:01,670 --> 00:45:59,400
where um astrophysicists or

1188
00:46:03,990 --> 00:46:01,680
astrobiologists have claimed that life

1189
00:46:06,870 --> 00:46:04,000
has been found um that they're you know

1190
00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:06,880
we we have the the the lake beds that

1191
00:46:10,630 --> 00:46:08,319
have been found on mars where they

1192
00:46:13,829 --> 00:46:10,640
believe that ice and water had been

1193
00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:13,839
there for centuries and that there was

1194
00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:15,839
most likely life there at some point and

1195
00:46:19,270 --> 00:46:17,680
then you've got these little tardigrade

1196
00:46:21,829 --> 00:46:19,280
things that are kind of just making

1197
00:46:24,069 --> 00:46:21,839
their way through interstellar space

1198
00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:24,079
they can survive literally in any

1199
00:46:27,910 --> 00:46:26,160
climate and um

1200
00:46:30,230 --> 00:46:27,920
those technically those are not from

1201
00:46:32,230 --> 00:46:30,240
here those are extraterrestrial

1202
00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:32,240
now i don't know how much more people

1203
00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:34,000
need to really

1204
00:46:40,069 --> 00:46:36,480
i mean they they found like microbial

1205
00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:40,079
stuff in rocks on mars like in the 60s

1206
00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:44,000
or 70s or something but it it's always

1207
00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:46,079
it's not enough tim and i think that's

1208
00:46:51,349 --> 00:46:48,319
what people they want that martian they

1209
00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:51,359
want that yeah intelligent sentient life

1210
00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:53,920
um but hey if if we've discovered

1211
00:46:58,230 --> 00:46:56,160
microbial life somewhere those are the

1212
00:47:00,870 --> 00:46:58,240
building blocks up to what we became on

1213
00:47:03,270 --> 00:47:00,880
our planet so yeah hopefully it's out

1214
00:47:04,630 --> 00:47:03,280
there somewhere but yeah man i i'm kind

1215
00:47:08,230 --> 00:47:04,640
of with you you know i've been studying

1216
00:47:10,790 --> 00:47:08,240
ufos my whole life since age 13 and um

1217
00:47:13,270 --> 00:47:10,800
i'm no closer to any answers of if we've

1218
00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:13,280
been visited by something if that's what

1219
00:47:17,589 --> 00:47:15,200
are piloting these

1220
00:47:20,870 --> 00:47:17,599
claimed ufos that people have seen but

1221
00:47:23,190 --> 00:47:20,880
uh i can say of course i believe in

1222
00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:23,200
alien life it has to be mathematically

1223
00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:25,520
it has to be out there so

1224
00:47:30,630 --> 00:47:28,720
yeah a lot of a lot of questions um

1225
00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:30,640
there's also the switcheroo theory right

1226
00:47:34,710 --> 00:47:33,119
yeah please please the uh from uh

1227
00:47:36,549 --> 00:47:34,720
mission to mars remember that movie i

1228
00:47:38,790 --> 00:47:36,559
think don cheadle was in it where the

1229
00:47:39,829 --> 00:47:38,800
idea is that martians

1230
00:47:42,069 --> 00:47:39,839
uh

1231
00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:42,079
left their dna on earth

1232
00:47:48,470 --> 00:47:45,040
in order and that we kind of

1233
00:47:51,430 --> 00:47:48,480
so we're the aliens somehow like

1234
00:47:53,589 --> 00:47:51,440
there is this idea of panspermia they

1235
00:47:56,549 --> 00:47:53,599
call it where we were seated somewhere

1236
00:47:58,309 --> 00:47:56,559
else in the universe and um we just

1237
00:47:59,430 --> 00:47:58,319
happened the meteor fell on earth and

1238
00:48:01,910 --> 00:47:59,440
that's where we

1239
00:48:02,790 --> 00:48:01,920
came out of the ooze and it evolved into

1240
00:48:06,549 --> 00:48:02,800
the

1241
00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:06,559
i guess i'm using beautiful very

1242
00:48:11,190 --> 00:48:09,760
liberally uh creatures that we are today

1243
00:48:13,510 --> 00:48:11,200
um but

1244
00:48:15,589 --> 00:48:13,520
but yeah you do truly have to wonder are

1245
00:48:18,309 --> 00:48:15,599
we alien to our own planet that that's a

1246
00:48:20,630 --> 00:48:18,319
big profound question to ask and and

1247
00:48:22,790 --> 00:48:20,640
brings up a lot of societal questions

1248
00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:22,800
too like you know what if we do find

1249
00:48:27,510 --> 00:48:26,079
those aliens uh how will that change the

1250
00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:27,520
way we perceive

1251
00:48:32,790 --> 00:48:30,079
ourselves um you know when we see a

1252
00:48:34,870 --> 00:48:32,800
creature with a billion arms or

1253
00:48:37,349 --> 00:48:34,880
legs and or or something like in the

1254
00:48:40,309 --> 00:48:37,359
movie arrival like something so what we

1255
00:48:42,630 --> 00:48:40,319
never expected abstract yeah yeah and

1256
00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:42,640
then we look at each other and like wow

1257
00:48:47,190 --> 00:48:45,280
your your skin's like two shades lighter

1258
00:48:50,309 --> 00:48:47,200
or darker than mine and we're like

1259
00:48:51,750 --> 00:48:50,319
having riots and wars over this kind of

1260
00:48:52,870 --> 00:48:51,760
[\h__\h] like come on

1261
00:48:57,190 --> 00:48:52,880
look at this

1262
00:48:59,430 --> 00:48:57,200
let's let's let's work together on this

1263
00:49:01,910 --> 00:48:59,440
please please if there's one thing i

1264
00:49:04,470 --> 00:49:01,920
agree with ronald reagan on it's we have

1265
00:49:07,190 --> 00:49:04,480
to come together and realize we're

1266
00:49:09,910 --> 00:49:07,200
humanity you know so

1267
00:49:11,910 --> 00:49:09,920
i don't know big big big questions um

1268
00:49:14,309 --> 00:49:11,920
you mentioned the government i i'd love

1269
00:49:16,630 --> 00:49:14,319
to put that conspiracy theory hat on for

1270
00:49:19,750 --> 00:49:16,640
just a second um

1271
00:49:21,510 --> 00:49:19,760
we have gotten in the past few years uh

1272
00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:21,520
word that there was a secret pentagon

1273
00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:23,920
ufo program and that they were looking

1274
00:49:28,710 --> 00:49:26,240
at all these military ufo videos stuff

1275
00:49:31,750 --> 00:49:28,720
like that um crazy crazy and then we

1276
00:49:34,790 --> 00:49:31,760
learned that um they're creating a new

1277
00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:34,800
pentagon ufo program and there were just

1278
00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:38,000
congressional hearings on ufos

1279
00:49:43,349 --> 00:49:40,240
again dude this is like my dreams coming

1280
00:49:44,790 --> 00:49:43,359
true in a time where like so much is

1281
00:49:47,190 --> 00:49:44,800
going on that no one's really paying

1282
00:49:49,750 --> 00:49:47,200
attention but um

1283
00:49:51,589 --> 00:49:49,760
what do you think governmental wise if

1284
00:49:54,790 --> 00:49:51,599
you had to put on that conspiracy theory

1285
00:49:57,270 --> 00:49:54,800
hat why now why are they doing all this

1286
00:50:00,150 --> 00:49:57,280
um you know we have a crisis not a

1287
00:50:04,069 --> 00:50:00,160
crisis we have a full bone invasion and

1288
00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:04,079
war going on in in europe right now um

1289
00:50:08,950 --> 00:50:06,480
to deal with and then we have oh by the

1290
00:50:10,829 --> 00:50:08,960
way these ufos our military are seeing

1291
00:50:12,950 --> 00:50:10,839
they're not russia they're not

1292
00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:12,960
china ours what the hell are they that's

1293
00:50:17,109 --> 00:50:14,720
literally what our government said oh

1294
00:50:19,510 --> 00:50:17,119
yeah yeah so yeah what do you think why

1295
00:50:21,430 --> 00:50:19,520
are they doing this all and um

1296
00:50:22,710 --> 00:50:21,440
if i'm trying to think about it

1297
00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:22,720
yeah if i'm trying to think of a

1298
00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:24,720
practical reason

1299
00:50:30,069 --> 00:50:26,720
um

1300
00:50:32,549 --> 00:50:30,079
perhaps this is an agreement that the

1301
00:50:33,910 --> 00:50:32,559
governments have to say we're all spying

1302
00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:33,920
on each other but we don't want each

1303
00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:35,599
other to get in trouble because we know

1304
00:50:39,670 --> 00:50:37,280
that's the deal we're never going to

1305
00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:39,680
stop spying on each other so let's just

1306
00:50:43,190 --> 00:50:40,400
say

1307
00:50:44,390 --> 00:50:43,200
that we don't know who

1308
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:44,400
that's the

1309
00:50:48,950 --> 00:50:46,720
that's really interesting yeah yeah yeah

1310
00:50:51,109 --> 00:50:48,960
we do we we have to admit like oh yeah

1311
00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:51,119
we got drones over in russia we got

1312
00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:52,480
satellites that's how we know what

1313
00:50:55,510 --> 00:50:54,480
they're doing it makes perfect sense

1314
00:50:59,910 --> 00:50:55,520
yeah

1315
00:51:01,190 --> 00:50:59,920
um but i you know i i really don't i

1316
00:51:02,470 --> 00:51:01,200
don't know

1317
00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:02,480
i i

1318
00:51:05,349 --> 00:51:03,200
the

1319
00:51:06,790 --> 00:51:05,359
my brain goes to and you know you have

1320
00:51:09,430 --> 00:51:06,800
this brain as well where you're always

1321
00:51:10,710 --> 00:51:09,440
constructing plots and uh like if i were

1322
00:51:11,589 --> 00:51:10,720
to make a movie

1323
00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:11,599
or

1324
00:51:16,069 --> 00:51:13,359
you know my brain goes to the idea that

1325
00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:16,079
there is intelligent life and

1326
00:51:19,670 --> 00:51:17,920
the heads of our governments are always

1327
00:51:21,349 --> 00:51:19,680
making deals with them because they know

1328
00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:21,359
that we can't handle

1329
00:51:31,630 --> 00:51:22,800
the

1330
00:51:34,829 --> 00:51:31,640
alien

1331
00:51:36,549 --> 00:51:34,839
[Laughter]

1332
00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:36,559
what's

1333
00:51:40,950 --> 00:51:38,880
yeah what do they want from us maybe

1334
00:51:42,549 --> 00:51:40,960
they asked us to start draining the oil

1335
00:51:44,470 --> 00:51:42,559
out of earth because there's something

1336
00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:44,480
they'll get from that you know maybe it

1337
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:47,520
turns into a nice cookie or something uh

1338
00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:49,210
once all the oil gets drained out

1339
00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:51,680
[Laughter]

1340
00:51:55,589 --> 00:51:53,920
that's it we've solved it that's it

1341
00:51:58,309 --> 00:51:55,599
right there i love it

1342
00:52:00,870 --> 00:51:58,319
well water too like a lot of these ufos

1343
00:52:02,230 --> 00:52:00,880
are seen over our oceans and a lot of

1344
00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:02,240
people are like huh do they have an

1345
00:52:06,870 --> 00:52:04,480
interest in our water is that a source

1346
00:52:08,390 --> 00:52:06,880
of like propulsion for them or do they

1347
00:52:11,270 --> 00:52:08,400
need it on their planet so they're

1348
00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:11,280
taking it like we don't know but they

1349
00:52:15,910 --> 00:52:12,960
you're right there are these connections

1350
00:52:18,470 --> 00:52:15,920
you can make and i i agree i do live in

1351
00:52:21,750 --> 00:52:18,480
that world of like creating movie plots

1352
00:52:24,470 --> 00:52:21,760
and and i think it's actually it hinders

1353
00:52:26,150 --> 00:52:24,480
my my perception of the real world a lot

1354
00:52:28,470 --> 00:52:26,160
because you know when this whole russia

1355
00:52:30,950 --> 00:52:28,480
thing first started two days in i'm like

1356
00:52:33,270 --> 00:52:30,960
world's ending like the bombs going off

1357
00:52:35,270 --> 00:52:33,280
this is it yeah and it took my my

1358
00:52:37,430 --> 00:52:35,280
partner to sit me down slap me and be

1359
00:52:39,190 --> 00:52:37,440
like right this isn't a movie like

1360
00:52:41,109 --> 00:52:39,200
there's so many moving parts to these

1361
00:52:43,430 --> 00:52:41,119
things and like get out of that

1362
00:52:45,430 --> 00:52:43,440
mulder-esque brain space for just a

1363
00:52:48,390 --> 00:52:45,440
minute and realize like the world's much

1364
00:52:51,190 --> 00:52:48,400
bigger and far more complex than we can

1365
00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:51,200
truly think so i agree with you have you

1366
00:52:54,390 --> 00:52:53,280
seen the show brain dead i'm obsessed

1367
00:52:55,670 --> 00:52:54,400
with the show

1368
00:52:57,270 --> 00:52:55,680
you have to watch it do you have

1369
00:52:59,190 --> 00:52:57,280
paramount plus

1370
00:53:02,069 --> 00:52:59,200
i do yes i got it used to watch the

1371
00:53:03,750 --> 00:53:02,079
tonys yeah there's the theater

1372
00:53:06,549 --> 00:53:03,760
this show is going to blow your mind it

1373
00:53:11,349 --> 00:53:06,559
only had one season and it uh aired on

1374
00:53:15,190 --> 00:53:11,359
cbs of all of all networks during the uh

1375
00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:15,200
the 2016 uh election cycle

1376
00:53:18,950 --> 00:53:16,480
okay um

1377
00:53:22,150 --> 00:53:20,950
it is about

1378
00:53:25,430 --> 00:53:22,160
alien

1379
00:53:27,510 --> 00:53:25,440
insects who land on earth

1380
00:53:28,790 --> 00:53:27,520
in washington dc

1381
00:53:29,589 --> 00:53:28,800
and

1382
00:53:34,710 --> 00:53:29,599
they

1383
00:53:36,230 --> 00:53:34,720
people in the senate

1384
00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:36,240
and things like that

1385
00:53:40,950 --> 00:53:38,160
uh half of their brain oozes out of

1386
00:53:43,270 --> 00:53:40,960
their ears and so they're in control of

1387
00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:43,280
all of american politics

1388
00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:45,920
and like they they are the reason for

1389
00:53:50,470 --> 00:53:47,760
the intensification

1390
00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:50,480
of all of american politics and it is

1391
00:53:54,950 --> 00:53:53,040
the most surreal uh

1392
00:53:59,670 --> 00:53:54,960
show that you can imagine

1393
00:54:03,829 --> 00:53:59,680
coming on on the cbs network uh and i i

1394
00:54:05,030 --> 00:54:03,839
just i love it so much it was so good um

1395
00:54:06,549 --> 00:54:05,040
and the creation of course it probably

1396
00:54:08,230 --> 00:54:06,559
got cancelled right yeah it got

1397
00:54:10,390 --> 00:54:08,240
cancelled but the creators of that are

1398
00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:10,400
great like they have that show evil and

1399
00:54:15,190 --> 00:54:12,800
um yeah like i'm just obsessed with

1400
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:15,200
everything that they that they make um

1401
00:54:19,349 --> 00:54:16,880
so that my brain goes to those sorts of

1402
00:54:21,990 --> 00:54:19,359
things too sometimes not that i'm i'm a

1403
00:54:24,710 --> 00:54:22,000
reptile everyone's a reptile kind of

1404
00:54:26,230 --> 00:54:24,720
reptile reptilian secret society

1405
00:54:28,790 --> 00:54:26,240
government kind of guy

1406
00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:28,800
but um

1407
00:54:33,589 --> 00:54:31,200
yeah yeah yeah okay there's a time and a

1408
00:54:35,670 --> 00:54:33,599
place for those conversations we won't

1409
00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:35,680
go there today but yeah

1410
00:54:40,150 --> 00:54:39,119
but i think there's a human uh need to

1411
00:54:41,270 --> 00:54:40,160
uh

1412
00:54:45,829 --> 00:54:41,280
to

1413
00:54:48,390 --> 00:54:45,839
concept of of higher beings and higher

1414
00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,400
powers interrupting and whether or not

1415
00:54:51,910 --> 00:54:50,400
aliens are real i think that they could

1416
00:54:53,030 --> 00:54:51,920
there could just be an element of that

1417
00:54:55,109 --> 00:54:53,040
natural

1418
00:54:57,829 --> 00:54:55,119
need that we have to have some sort of

1419
00:54:59,910 --> 00:54:57,839
explanation for certain odd phenomena

1420
00:55:02,150 --> 00:54:59,920
and things like that

1421
00:55:03,109 --> 00:55:02,160
cool cool yeah i love that i love that

1422
00:55:05,349 --> 00:55:03,119
um

1423
00:55:06,789 --> 00:55:05,359
well i want to touch on there's been a

1424
00:55:09,589 --> 00:55:06,799
few recent

1425
00:55:11,349 --> 00:55:09,599
news stories tim that have broke and uh

1426
00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:11,359
i'd love to get your thoughts on these

1427
00:55:16,789 --> 00:55:13,440
as kind of an outsider to the world of

1428
00:55:18,549 --> 00:55:16,799
ufos um these stories are mainstream and

1429
00:55:20,470 --> 00:55:18,559
they're they're out there like never

1430
00:55:24,549 --> 00:55:20,480
before we're getting stories

1431
00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:24,559
in cnn fox uh insert mainstream media

1432
00:55:30,230 --> 00:55:27,520
outlet here of ufos and it's become like

1433
00:55:32,230 --> 00:55:30,240
a part of everyday conversation um and

1434
00:55:33,910 --> 00:55:32,240
i've got a couple videos i'd love to

1435
00:55:36,870 --> 00:55:33,920
play if you're willing to stick around

1436
00:55:38,630 --> 00:55:36,880
yeah and your your thoughts on these um

1437
00:55:40,230 --> 00:55:38,640
let me pull up the first one here this

1438
00:55:43,190 --> 00:55:40,240
is a story about

1439
00:55:44,710 --> 00:55:43,200
nasa and um you know we've got this

1440
00:55:46,309 --> 00:55:44,720
thing in the pentagon starting where

1441
00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:46,319
they're going to look at ufos over

1442
00:55:49,510 --> 00:55:47,520
military

1443
00:55:51,589 --> 00:55:49,520
installations like hundreds of reports

1444
00:55:53,670 --> 00:55:51,599
of these things um but then we've got

1445
00:55:56,710 --> 00:55:53,680
nasa who you presumably would think

1446
00:55:58,870 --> 00:55:56,720
would be the ones to look for ufos um

1447
00:56:01,589 --> 00:55:58,880
fine getting in the game now um so i'm

1448
00:56:03,829 --> 00:56:01,599
gonna go ahead and play that for you now

1449
00:56:06,069 --> 00:56:03,839
okay ufo news there have been

1450
00:56:08,390 --> 00:56:06,079
unexplained sightings of flying objects

1451
00:56:10,150 --> 00:56:08,400
in the sky for decades the pentagon

1452
00:56:12,069 --> 00:56:10,160
recently formed a new office to study

1453
00:56:14,789 --> 00:56:12,079
ufo reports and now

1454
00:56:16,950 --> 00:56:14,799
now it's nasa's turn the space agency

1455
00:56:19,349 --> 00:56:16,960
launching a new team to investigate who

1456
00:56:22,470 --> 00:56:19,359
or what may be behind the unexplained

1457
00:56:24,390 --> 00:56:22,480
sightings here's nbc's scottie schwartz

1458
00:56:26,630 --> 00:56:24,400
the effort to uncover the mystery behind

1459
00:56:30,470 --> 00:56:26,640
those ufo sightings is about to get some

1460
00:56:32,390 --> 00:56:30,480
help from some serious space pros

1461
00:56:33,990 --> 00:56:32,400
nasa announcing it'll form a new and

1462
00:56:36,789 --> 00:56:34,000
independent team to investigate

1463
00:56:38,630 --> 00:56:36,799
unidentified aerial phenomenon or uaps

1464
00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:38,640
but instead of focusing on classified

1465
00:56:42,630 --> 00:56:40,960
encounters with military jets the agency

1466
00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:42,640
plans to examine data they've already

1467
00:56:47,430 --> 00:56:44,640
possibly captured and may even include

1468
00:56:49,109 --> 00:56:47,440
recordings taken by civilians just last

1469
00:56:51,349 --> 00:56:49,119
month this video shot on an iphone

1470
00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:51,359
during an air show in miami appears to

1471
00:56:55,430 --> 00:56:52,799
show something shooting up out of the

1472
00:56:58,309 --> 00:56:55,440
water with people swimming nearby and i

1473
00:56:59,990 --> 00:56:58,319
saw it and i was like

1474
00:57:03,270 --> 00:57:00,000
what nut

1475
00:57:05,030 --> 00:57:03,280
like no way nasa's review

1476
00:57:07,990 --> 00:57:05,040
like this possible sighting captured in

1477
00:57:10,390 --> 00:57:08,000
utah by a film crew in 2016. i don't

1478
00:57:13,589 --> 00:57:10,400
think it's bird i don't think it's a bug

1479
00:57:15,829 --> 00:57:13,599
i think it's exactly what a you know ufo

1480
00:57:17,589 --> 00:57:15,839
stands for unidentified flying object

1481
00:57:19,030 --> 00:57:17,599
once the investigative team officially

1482
00:57:20,870 --> 00:57:19,040
launches in the fall they're hoping to

1483
00:57:23,270 --> 00:57:20,880
cross-reference things like video with

1484
00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:23,280
other data like satellite images or low

1485
00:57:26,950 --> 00:57:25,200
orbit observations made by the space

1486
00:57:30,150 --> 00:57:26,960
agency this is what we do right now so

1487
00:57:33,109 --> 00:57:30,160
this is not our first rodeo we discover

1488
00:57:34,950 --> 00:57:33,119
and explore many many things in ways

1489
00:57:37,430 --> 00:57:34,960
that uh frankly at the beginning look

1490
00:57:39,109 --> 00:57:37,440
almost like a miracle and then as we go

1491
00:57:43,190 --> 00:57:39,119
forward looks like something new we

1492
00:57:47,190 --> 00:57:45,109
it all comes just weeks after congress

1493
00:57:49,589 --> 00:57:47,200
held its first public ufo hearing in

1494
00:57:51,510 --> 00:57:49,599
half a century following hundreds of

1495
00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:51,520
unexplainable sightings by the military

1496
00:57:55,030 --> 00:57:53,200
in restricted airspace

1497
00:57:57,510 --> 00:57:55,040
and while most of those are expected to

1498
00:57:59,990 --> 00:57:57,520
remain classified including at least 11

1499
00:58:01,829 --> 00:58:00,000
near misses with military jets more

1500
00:58:03,910 --> 00:58:01,839
everyday americans baffled by what

1501
00:58:06,789 --> 00:58:03,920
they've seen are now hoping nasa could

1502
00:58:09,109 --> 00:58:06,799
soon provide more public answers do you

1503
00:58:11,990 --> 00:58:09,119
have enough data to say what these could

1504
00:58:14,309 --> 00:58:12,000
be at this moment in time we do not have

1505
00:58:15,349 --> 00:58:14,319
enough data to really conclude does that

1506
00:58:16,390 --> 00:58:15,359
mean that

1507
00:58:18,390 --> 00:58:16,400
it's

1508
00:58:20,390 --> 00:58:18,400
not extraterrestrial life i'm a

1509
00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:20,400
scientist and uh if somebody asks me is

1510
00:58:24,150 --> 00:58:22,480
this extraterrestrial lie frankly at

1511
00:58:26,950 --> 00:58:24,160
this moment in time the simple answer is

1512
00:58:28,150 --> 00:58:26,960
the right one which is i don't know so

1513
00:58:34,470 --> 00:58:28,160
that

1514
00:58:37,030 --> 00:58:34,480
last part i'm a scientist so

1515
00:58:39,589 --> 00:58:37,040
the the most uh objective answer i could

1516
00:58:41,910 --> 00:58:39,599
give is i don't know which i don't know

1517
00:58:44,549 --> 00:58:41,920
um but yeah nasa is going to be looking

1518
00:58:46,549 --> 00:58:44,559
at like civilian ufo sightings which i

1519
00:58:50,150 --> 00:58:46,559
think is cool like the government's just

1520
00:58:52,789 --> 00:58:50,160
interested in like ufos over military

1521
00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:52,799
installations and like things uh

1522
00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:54,400
whatever like breaching national

1523
00:58:58,950 --> 00:58:57,359
security issues but now we have nasa a

1524
00:59:01,349 --> 00:58:58,960
government-funded program who's going to

1525
00:59:02,870 --> 00:59:01,359
be like yo you see a ufo send us the

1526
00:59:05,030 --> 00:59:02,880
video we'll try to

1527
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:05,040
find an explanation for it i don't know

1528
00:59:09,589 --> 00:59:06,720
um yeah what do you make of this nasa

1529
00:59:11,109 --> 00:59:09,599
getting involved i don't know what what

1530
00:59:12,950 --> 00:59:11,119
to make of it you would think it was

1531
00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:12,960
something that more uh

1532
00:59:16,549 --> 00:59:14,480
um

1533
00:59:18,470 --> 00:59:16,559
the military or something or or

1534
00:59:19,430 --> 00:59:18,480
something a little more

1535
00:59:20,630 --> 00:59:19,440
uh

1536
00:59:24,390 --> 00:59:20,640
something that would at least give the

1537
00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:24,400
illusion of we think that all ufos are

1538
00:59:28,309 --> 00:59:26,559
something to do with you know

1539
00:59:30,870 --> 00:59:28,319
probes from other countries or some sort

1540
00:59:33,030 --> 00:59:30,880
of spy gear but the nasa of it all

1541
00:59:34,950 --> 00:59:33,040
definitely makes makes you

1542
00:59:36,950 --> 00:59:34,960
uh first think that this is something

1543
00:59:38,069 --> 00:59:36,960
from from outer space

1544
00:59:40,950 --> 00:59:38,079
um

1545
00:59:43,109 --> 00:59:40,960
good point i think that's kind of

1546
00:59:45,589 --> 00:59:43,119
the big thing here is you know

1547
00:59:46,789 --> 00:59:45,599
militarily they're looking at things you

1548
00:59:49,109 --> 00:59:46,799
know

1549
00:59:51,750 --> 00:59:49,119
just that their pilots have seen

1550
00:59:54,150 --> 00:59:51,760
flying in the air but like space

1551
00:59:56,549 --> 00:59:54,160
breaking that barrier between

1552
00:59:59,589 --> 00:59:56,559
sky and space is a whole different story

1553
01:00:01,829 --> 00:59:59,599
so i'm hoping we're gonna get like more

1554
01:00:03,670 --> 01:00:01,839
stuff from maybe there's videos that

1555
01:00:05,510 --> 01:00:03,680
were taken from the international space

1556
01:00:06,950 --> 01:00:05,520
station or stuff like that yeah i want

1557
01:00:08,789 --> 01:00:06,960
to know more about this department and

1558
01:00:10,630 --> 01:00:08,799
who's working there and what you know

1559
01:00:11,990 --> 01:00:10,640
when they get a case and they go back to

1560
01:00:19,109 --> 01:00:12,000
the office and

1561
01:00:23,589 --> 01:00:21,109
one of them seemed to be you know

1562
01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:23,599
sucking up tons of water from the oceans

1563
01:00:29,510 --> 01:00:27,040
and yeah i i can't imagine

1564
01:00:31,990 --> 01:00:29,520
one almost just well that video said too

1565
01:00:35,030 --> 01:00:32,000
like the pentagon 11 near misses which

1566
01:00:37,829 --> 01:00:35,040
is terrifying that like pilots have

1567
01:00:40,710 --> 01:00:37,839
almost or even like civilian airplanes

1568
01:00:42,309 --> 01:00:40,720
have almost hit these ufos no matter

1569
01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:42,319
what they are whether they're like an

1570
01:00:47,750 --> 01:00:44,880
interstellar craft or like a drone yeah

1571
01:00:49,670 --> 01:00:47,760
like people could potentially get hurt

1572
01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:49,680
from these things so yeah they probably

1573
01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:51,119
should figure out what the hell they are

1574
01:00:57,109 --> 01:00:53,839
in my opinion now this is also a theory

1575
01:00:59,270 --> 01:00:57,119
that that these ufos could be uh can

1576
01:01:00,150 --> 01:00:59,280
they be us from the future is that not a

1577
01:01:03,270 --> 01:01:00,160
theory

1578
01:01:06,230 --> 01:01:03,280
dude okay i can't you're i think you are

1579
01:01:07,190 --> 01:01:06,240
a psychic because that is our next

1580
01:01:07,990 --> 01:01:07,200
video

1581
01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:08,000
um

1582
01:01:12,150 --> 01:01:09,920
you are the king of transitions i'm

1583
01:01:14,069 --> 01:01:12,160
gonna go ahead and play

1584
01:01:16,789 --> 01:01:14,079
our next video that is what we call

1585
01:01:19,910 --> 01:01:16,799
synchronicity ladies and gentlemen um

1586
01:01:21,829 --> 01:01:19,920
let me pull this one up and then we will

1587
01:01:27,670 --> 01:01:21,839
definitely have something to talk about

1588
01:01:32,870 --> 01:01:29,430
again i can't believe you brought that

1589
01:01:34,710 --> 01:01:32,880
up um this tim peek a one of our whoops

1590
01:01:35,750 --> 01:01:34,720
hold on sorry hi

1591
01:01:40,630 --> 01:01:35,760
there we go

1592
01:01:42,789 --> 01:01:40,640
talking about us from the future this is

1593
01:01:45,190 --> 01:01:42,799
a interesting concept and to hear

1594
01:01:46,870 --> 01:01:45,200
someone like tim peake one of our like

1595
01:01:49,430 --> 01:01:46,880
leading astronauts on the international

1596
01:01:50,950 --> 01:01:49,440
space station uh bring that up was

1597
01:01:53,829 --> 01:01:50,960
really interesting because a lot of

1598
01:01:55,349 --> 01:01:53,839
people just think oh yeah it's e.t or um

1599
01:01:57,190 --> 01:01:55,359
yeah you know yeah it's something from

1600
01:01:59,549 --> 01:01:57,200
another planet but there's all these

1601
01:02:01,750 --> 01:01:59,559
other theories out there could they be

1602
01:02:04,390 --> 01:02:01,760
interdimensional could they be

1603
01:02:06,630 --> 01:02:04,400
us from the future um so what do you

1604
01:02:09,270 --> 01:02:06,640
think us from the future why why do you

1605
01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:09,280
think they would be coming back to uh to

1606
01:02:14,390 --> 01:02:11,760
visit us if that is the case

1607
01:02:15,910 --> 01:02:14,400
i would i would almost argue that

1608
01:02:18,150 --> 01:02:15,920
more interesting than it being us from

1609
01:02:19,589 --> 01:02:18,160
the future if it's us from the future

1610
01:02:22,630 --> 01:02:19,599
it's probably

1611
01:02:25,029 --> 01:02:22,640
a tourist thing or you know like like

1612
01:02:26,549 --> 01:02:25,039
you get a tourist experience of the past

1613
01:02:29,430 --> 01:02:26,559
or you're just trying to capture certain

1614
01:02:31,670 --> 01:02:29,440
things um and the question is at all

1615
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:31,680
those spaces that you do that people

1616
01:02:35,670 --> 01:02:33,760
document these unidentified flying

1617
01:02:37,109 --> 01:02:35,680
objects what is so interesting about

1618
01:02:38,630 --> 01:02:37,119
these spaces that you're seeing them if

1619
01:02:40,630 --> 01:02:38,640
they're coming from the future i'm not

1620
01:02:42,309 --> 01:02:40,640
necessarily sure but if they're coming

1621
01:02:43,589 --> 01:02:42,319
from the past

1622
01:02:45,750 --> 01:02:43,599
um

1623
01:02:47,670 --> 01:02:45,760
if somehow the technology this

1624
01:02:50,549 --> 01:02:47,680
technology existed with beyond our

1625
01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:50,559
knowledge in the in the past and let's

1626
01:02:54,710 --> 01:02:53,280
say you're russia or something and

1627
01:02:57,029 --> 01:02:54,720
you're trying to get a glimpse of the

1628
01:02:59,029 --> 01:02:57,039
future so that you can control certain

1629
01:03:00,870 --> 01:02:59,039
things in the moment i don't know that

1630
01:03:03,670 --> 01:03:00,880
for me that's the more interesting

1631
01:03:05,910 --> 01:03:03,680
potential for for time travel with

1632
01:03:07,190 --> 01:03:05,920
unidentified flying objects

1633
01:03:08,710 --> 01:03:07,200
um

1634
01:03:10,470 --> 01:03:08,720
yeah how do you feel about it have you

1635
01:03:12,870 --> 01:03:10,480
talked about it on the show before

1636
01:03:16,870 --> 01:03:12,880
yeah so there's this really interesting

1637
01:03:19,990 --> 01:03:16,880
case uh back in 1980 uh this happened in

1638
01:03:22,710 --> 01:03:20,000
um suffolk england uh there were two

1639
01:03:25,589 --> 01:03:22,720
nato bases joint military bases one

1640
01:03:26,470 --> 01:03:25,599
owned by england one owned by the us

1641
01:03:29,029 --> 01:03:26,480
um

1642
01:03:31,029 --> 01:03:29,039
and forgive the ambulance here in queens

1643
01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:31,039
if you can hear it um

1644
01:03:35,670 --> 01:03:33,839
yeah so two joint military bases uh back

1645
01:03:37,750 --> 01:03:35,680
during the cold war so we were over

1646
01:03:40,950 --> 01:03:37,760
there ready if anything got really

1647
01:03:42,710 --> 01:03:40,960
heated and whatnot and um

1648
01:03:44,470 --> 01:03:42,720
this ufo

1649
01:03:47,349 --> 01:03:44,480
was tracked on radar

1650
01:03:49,109 --> 01:03:47,359
and then went into this forest which was

1651
01:03:51,910 --> 01:03:49,119
actually it was called rendulsham forest

1652
01:03:55,029 --> 01:03:51,920
it was between the bases um

1653
01:03:56,950 --> 01:03:55,039
a ufo landed in the forest so then you

1654
01:04:00,630 --> 01:03:56,960
had all these military personnel some

1655
01:04:02,630 --> 01:04:00,640
like 70 plus officers um

1656
01:04:03,910 --> 01:04:02,640
that went out and actually investigated

1657
01:04:06,549 --> 01:04:03,920
what the hell is this thing that just

1658
01:04:08,150 --> 01:04:06,559
landed between our military bases and

1659
01:04:11,670 --> 01:04:08,160
when they got out there man and there's

1660
01:04:13,829 --> 01:04:11,680
been a handful or so of the officers who

1661
01:04:17,190 --> 01:04:13,839
have come forward since this happened

1662
01:04:21,430 --> 01:04:17,200
and said straight up ufo like

1663
01:04:23,349 --> 01:04:21,440
it was like triangular in in shape um

1664
01:04:25,589 --> 01:04:23,359
it had weird lights it was sort of just

1665
01:04:27,829 --> 01:04:25,599
hovering there and some of them

1666
01:04:30,150 --> 01:04:27,839
including the deputy base commander at

1667
01:04:32,230 --> 01:04:30,160
the time he went out there with a tape

1668
01:04:35,990 --> 01:04:32,240
recorder and was recording what was

1669
01:04:38,150 --> 01:04:36,000
happening in real time and he said that

1670
01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:38,160
this ufo that was hovering

1671
01:04:44,549 --> 01:04:41,520
it pierced a beam through the bunkers on

1672
01:04:46,549 --> 01:04:44,559
the base and like affected the nuclear

1673
01:04:47,430 --> 01:04:46,559
ordnance that was being housed there at

1674
01:04:48,549 --> 01:04:47,440
the time

1675
01:04:50,710 --> 01:04:48,559
which is

1676
01:04:52,789 --> 01:04:50,720
insane and this is

1677
01:04:54,950 --> 01:04:52,799
available you can listen to the audio

1678
01:04:57,670 --> 01:04:54,960
recordings of this i might even put it

1679
01:04:59,750 --> 01:04:57,680
in right here um if if people want to

1680
01:05:01,270 --> 01:04:59,760
listen to it it's a little startling uh

1681
01:05:03,910 --> 01:05:01,280
to hear this thing happening back in

1682
01:05:06,870 --> 01:05:03,920
1980 and these officers being like

1683
01:05:08,870 --> 01:05:06,880
holy [\h__\h] like what is going on like is

1684
01:05:11,990 --> 01:05:08,880
the world about to end are these aliens

1685
01:05:13,109 --> 01:05:12,000
is this russia like what is happening so

1686
01:05:15,829 --> 01:05:13,119
um

1687
01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:15,839
one of these guys says that he touched

1688
01:05:20,870 --> 01:05:18,400
the craft it got so low to the ground he

1689
01:05:22,870 --> 01:05:20,880
touched it and immediately

1690
01:05:23,990 --> 01:05:22,880
some weird

1691
01:05:26,710 --> 01:05:24,000
code

1692
01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:26,720
was like downloaded into his brain i'm

1693
01:05:29,990 --> 01:05:28,319
not kidding you this guy has said that

1694
01:05:31,589 --> 01:05:30,000
when he touched the craft

1695
01:05:32,710 --> 01:05:31,599
something went into his head and told

1696
01:05:34,549 --> 01:05:32,720
him

1697
01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:34,559
we are from the future we're here to

1698
01:05:38,710 --> 01:05:36,000
tell you to stop messing around with

1699
01:05:40,789 --> 01:05:38,720
these nukes um like this is going to be

1700
01:05:43,109 --> 01:05:40,799
really bad in the future and it's why

1701
01:05:45,270 --> 01:05:43,119
we're coming back and messing with them

1702
01:05:47,109 --> 01:05:45,280
so that you know you're like stop doing

1703
01:05:49,190 --> 01:05:47,119
this and um

1704
01:05:51,589 --> 01:05:49,200
yeah so pretty crazy again this is one

1705
01:05:54,150 --> 01:05:51,599
man's claim yeah uh

1706
01:05:56,309 --> 01:05:54,160
but yeah there is a few books out right

1707
01:05:59,670 --> 01:05:56,319
now by a professor named michael masters

1708
01:06:03,190 --> 01:05:59,680
who uh has has coined this term i think

1709
01:06:04,710 --> 01:06:03,200
it's temporal terrestrials where it's

1710
01:06:06,230 --> 01:06:04,720
not so much extraterrestrial from

1711
01:06:08,230 --> 01:06:06,240
another planet but it's us from the

1712
01:06:10,069 --> 01:06:08,240
future and he goes into sort of the

1713
01:06:12,390 --> 01:06:10,079
evolution of um

1714
01:06:14,309 --> 01:06:12,400
like you said they could be tourists or

1715
01:06:15,349 --> 01:06:14,319
they could be coming back to try to

1716
01:06:17,990 --> 01:06:15,359
change

1717
01:06:19,510 --> 01:06:18,000
things a lot like quantum leap into

1718
01:06:21,589 --> 01:06:19,520
summer snacks

1719
01:06:22,309 --> 01:06:21,599
dr samuel beckett coming back i don't

1720
01:06:27,190 --> 01:06:22,319
know

1721
01:06:29,349 --> 01:06:27,200
on on google maps

1722
01:06:31,430 --> 01:06:29,359
when they're trying to get those images

1723
01:06:34,150 --> 01:06:31,440
of exactly what your neighborhood looks

1724
01:06:35,829 --> 01:06:34,160
like so that you can do that uh pov

1725
01:06:38,390 --> 01:06:35,839
thing that 360 thing maybe it's just

1726
01:06:39,349 --> 01:06:38,400
that maybe it's this is a future google

1727
01:06:41,990 --> 01:06:39,359
tech

1728
01:06:43,190 --> 01:06:42,000
coming back so that you can get a 360

1729
01:06:45,029 --> 01:06:43,200
image

1730
01:06:46,789 --> 01:06:45,039
of every

1731
01:06:49,349 --> 01:06:46,799
uh decade

1732
01:06:51,780 --> 01:06:49,359
on earth so that you go back in time and

1733
01:06:54,390 --> 01:06:51,790
then now you have a downloadable

1734
01:06:56,390 --> 01:06:54,400
[Laughter]

1735
01:06:58,950 --> 01:06:56,400
you can basically watch the past because

1736
01:07:01,349 --> 01:06:58,960
there's a 3d rendering of it that we've

1737
01:07:03,829 --> 01:07:01,359
gone back in time to get so you can look

1738
01:07:08,069 --> 01:07:03,839
at your your grandfather meet your uh

1739
01:07:09,190 --> 01:07:08,079
your grandmother and you can look at uh

1740
01:07:16,549 --> 01:07:09,200
that's

1741
01:07:18,309 --> 01:07:16,559
scariest that you

1742
01:07:20,470 --> 01:07:18,319
i want to go back and watch like the

1743
01:07:22,230 --> 01:07:20,480
lincoln assassination

1744
01:07:25,029 --> 01:07:22,240
i can't even imagine the things people

1745
01:07:29,109 --> 01:07:25,039
would want to go back in the past

1746
01:07:30,630 --> 01:07:29,119
at our present expense yeah yeah yeah

1747
01:07:31,829 --> 01:07:30,640
really interesting thing

1748
01:07:34,630 --> 01:07:31,839
yeah

1749
01:07:35,589 --> 01:07:34,640
what'd you say the pornhub ramifications

1750
01:07:38,789 --> 01:07:35,599
of that

1751
01:07:39,829 --> 01:07:38,799
are i'm afraid of

1752
01:07:42,470 --> 01:07:39,839
yup

1753
01:07:45,910 --> 01:07:42,480
hey hey we had to go there if we had to

1754
01:07:47,510 --> 01:07:45,920
go there um tim man this has been so

1755
01:07:49,829 --> 01:07:47,520
refreshing man to kind of have this

1756
01:07:51,750 --> 01:07:49,839
conversation with you it's unlike most

1757
01:07:53,829 --> 01:07:51,760
of our episodes where we just cover like

1758
01:07:56,549 --> 01:07:53,839
specific ufo cases

1759
01:07:57,990 --> 01:07:56,559
and stuff like that um but before i let

1760
01:08:01,430 --> 01:07:58,000
you go um

1761
01:08:02,870 --> 01:08:01,440
i'd love to just get an idea from you of

1762
01:08:05,990 --> 01:08:02,880
uh

1763
01:08:07,990 --> 01:08:06,000
why why you made maurice on mars what do

1764
01:08:11,029 --> 01:08:08,000
you want the audience to really take

1765
01:08:12,870 --> 01:08:11,039
away from um from the themes that you

1766
01:08:14,789 --> 01:08:12,880
tried to convey in this and yeah what do

1767
01:08:17,030 --> 01:08:14,799
you hope people take away from watching

1768
01:08:18,709 --> 01:08:17,040
watching the animated series

1769
01:08:20,229 --> 01:08:18,719
um i'm hoping that they find the

1770
01:08:23,110 --> 01:08:20,239
characters endearing and that they want

1771
01:08:25,189 --> 01:08:23,120
to learn more about them and ultimately

1772
01:08:26,950 --> 01:08:25,199
i just want this to be a fun show that

1773
01:08:30,149 --> 01:08:26,960
makes people think a little bit in a

1774
01:08:33,110 --> 01:08:30,159
speculative way about uh our future and

1775
01:08:35,110 --> 01:08:33,120
how you know the future of

1776
01:08:37,910 --> 01:08:35,120
the what's happening on maurice on mars

1777
01:08:40,149 --> 01:08:37,920
is potentially a result of what happens

1778
01:08:41,829 --> 01:08:40,159
uh because of the decisions we make now

1779
01:08:44,390 --> 01:08:41,839
and maurice and mars intentionally takes

1780
01:08:46,149 --> 01:08:44,400
place in an unspecific

1781
01:08:49,189 --> 01:08:46,159
future there's no time stamp on when

1782
01:08:51,510 --> 01:08:49,199
maurice and mars takes place

1783
01:08:53,269 --> 01:08:51,520
and beyond that um

1784
01:08:56,229 --> 01:08:53,279
i think

1785
01:08:59,990 --> 01:08:57,829
what excites me about some of the

1786
01:09:02,789 --> 01:09:00,000
characters is that it it they just

1787
01:09:04,789 --> 01:09:02,799
explore different questions like beta

1788
01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:04,799
maurice's boss

1789
01:09:10,470 --> 01:09:07,920
is a self-hating robot who uh

1790
01:09:13,349 --> 01:09:10,480
who who doesn't you know want to be uh

1791
01:09:15,349 --> 01:09:13,359
identified as a as a robot and as an

1792
01:09:17,669 --> 01:09:15,359
entrepreneur and so there's questions

1793
01:09:19,349 --> 01:09:17,679
about you know when when is sentience

1794
01:09:21,910 --> 01:09:19,359
and how do we define robots sentience

1795
01:09:24,309 --> 01:09:21,920
from human sentience all very under the

1796
01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:24,319
surface of this comedic cartoon right

1797
01:09:29,990 --> 01:09:26,480
right that's only five minute episodes

1798
01:09:31,749 --> 01:09:30,000
but um and even just like you know if

1799
01:09:34,950 --> 01:09:31,759
there were to be more we definitely

1800
01:09:36,550 --> 01:09:34,960
would explore a lot about um alien life

1801
01:09:40,390 --> 01:09:36,560
what it would mean to coexist with

1802
01:09:43,030 --> 01:09:40,400
aliens things like that so uh ultimately

1803
01:09:45,669 --> 01:09:43,040
i just hope that if there are people who

1804
01:09:47,749 --> 01:09:45,679
who uh enjoy science fiction and enjoy

1805
01:09:51,590 --> 01:09:47,759
science fiction cartoons and

1806
01:09:52,470 --> 01:09:51,600
enjoy a certain um casual low-key comedy

1807
01:09:53,590 --> 01:09:52,480
uh

1808
01:09:55,510 --> 01:09:53,600
you know

1809
01:09:58,229 --> 01:09:55,520
that this stands out to you and that you

1810
01:09:59,750 --> 01:09:58,239
uh that you might want more um that's

1811
01:10:01,510 --> 01:09:59,760
all i can say i'm the type of guy who

1812
01:10:03,510 --> 01:10:01,520
can keep rambling until you start

1813
01:10:05,430 --> 01:10:03,520
playing the uh

1814
01:10:10,470 --> 01:10:05,440
music

1815
01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:10,480
again like i know we talked about it at

1816
01:10:15,590 --> 01:10:12,960
the top of the show but um i think what

1817
01:10:18,149 --> 01:10:15,600
science fiction and comedy do best is

1818
01:10:20,390 --> 01:10:18,159
put that mirror back on us and i think

1819
01:10:21,350 --> 01:10:20,400
with maurice on mars you've hit a very

1820
01:10:22,950 --> 01:10:21,360
subtle

1821
01:10:25,110 --> 01:10:22,960
uh way of

1822
01:10:28,070 --> 01:10:25,120
looking at ourselves and and asking

1823
01:10:30,310 --> 01:10:28,080
these questions and um that's very

1824
01:10:32,229 --> 01:10:30,320
important especially in today's world

1825
01:10:34,310 --> 01:10:32,239
and i think that's what comedy does best

1826
01:10:35,910 --> 01:10:34,320
you know it kind of brings the light out

1827
01:10:38,709 --> 01:10:35,920
of the dark whereas drama brings the

1828
01:10:40,550 --> 01:10:38,719
dark into the light um i i think you've

1829
01:10:42,870 --> 01:10:40,560
really you've really touched on some

1830
01:10:45,430 --> 01:10:42,880
powerful things in the limited time you

1831
01:10:48,310 --> 01:10:45,440
have in an animated series so i can't

1832
01:10:51,110 --> 01:10:48,320
wait to see the future of of the series

1833
01:10:53,830 --> 01:10:51,120
where it goes from there so um yeah of

1834
01:10:55,830 --> 01:10:53,840
course the final most important question

1835
01:10:57,110 --> 01:10:55,840
where can we find maurice

1836
01:11:00,390 --> 01:10:57,120
and where could we find everything

1837
01:11:02,310 --> 01:11:00,400
