I'll be like, oh, look at this old movie.
I wonder if that guy's still alive.
Right, and then you start Googling it.
And I start looking, oh, he died.
What did he die of?
Oh, you know, 82.
You know, it's not bad, you know, and just.
Let's see if someone's talking shit about me.
Yeah, well, let's, no, it's, I don't do that.
I go, let's see what these, I don't know.
Social media is bad.
I mean, it's good and it's bad, right?
But the bad part is you can get lost in other people's opinions
and want to defend yourself.
And then, you know, people misrepresent what you said
or distort what you said or take it out of context.
And then you're like, hey!
And then you think, well, how many people are reading that
and thinking the wrong thing about me?
And, oh.
No, I never respond to it.
I don't either.
I just flip out.
I do what I call post and ghost.
When I make a post, I make a post,
and then I put my phone away and I walk out of the room.
I leave my phone in other rooms.
I thought you were going to say,
you write what you want to say and then you delete it.
And I'd be like, I'd be too nervous you accidentally hit send.
I make a post and then I go away.
Right.
Like, I don't look at what people are saying about the post.
I just get the fuck out of there.
It's just, it never is a good use of time.
There's so many things that I like to do.
And that's one thing that saves me is that I have so many obsessions.
Right.
Is that there's so many things I like to do.
But the phone will get me if I'm not.
You know what will get me?
YouTube.
Watching nothing.
It'll be an hour.
I'll watch a video on how they make watches.
And then I'll watch three or four pool matches.
And then I'll watch, oh, 1970 Chevelle.
Oh, how'd they make that?
You know what I hate, though, about all of those?
Is once you click on one thing,
then they just give you 40 of the same thing.
Yeah.
It's almost like they don't want you to progress
is like,
like I have, like some of,
like when I watched,
I think I told this story last time I was on here.
Like on Netflix, I watched all of Narcos.
Yeah.
And then everything became like behind the scenes
of San Quentin and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So I've been trying to watch these French movies, right?
But for some reason, it won't,
because I think I'm here,
they keep giving me like the English speaking ones.
It's like, that's not what I'm trying to do here.
I'm trying to watch their shit.
Like, how do I get out of this?
They keep kind of keep dragging you back down to,
blah, blah, blah.
Well, they find what you're interested in.
I mean, the algorithm is pretty simple.
I mean, it's not simple.
It's complicated,
but it's a simple formula in terms of like how it applies.
Whatever you're interested in,
it's going to show you.
Whatever you're going to spend the most time looking at,
it's going to show you.
Whether it's things you hate,
like YouTube or Facebook,
that accentuates things that give you the,
it turns out it's really just what you're responding to
and spending time on.
Like Ari did an experiment.
Ari's experiment was he only looked up puppies on YouTube.
That's it.
Just puppies.
And then all YouTube was showing him was puppies.
Right.
And he was trying to tell people,
look, this isn't insidious.
It's not like the man's trying to keep you angry.
Right.
It's like, you're keeping yourself angry.
If you just go and look at puppies all day,
that's all it's going to show you.
I don't know.
I feel like if I look at one puppy video,
then they give me a bunch more.
And it's just like, okay,
maybe I've moved past puppies at this point.
Yeah.
But that's up to you.
You yourself.
You have to search for things that aren't puppy related.
I know.
But it's just easier just to click on what they're giving me.
Of course.
Of course.
Or they just say, oh, more puppy videos.
This is my safe space.
Yeah.
Dude, I saw two really good French movies.
I saw one called Lost Bullet.
And then I saw one called Blood and Earth.
I heard of Lost Bullet.
What is that?
Lost Bullet is,
I'd say it's sort of a Jason Statham style movie,
like action movie.
A lot of cars.
A lot of people getting shot, you know.
Nice.
Dumb shit that I watch.
But it's done really well.
It's done shot really well.
There's a really great shot in it
where a dude kills somebody
because the boss told him to
and he didn't feel good about it.
And how they got his reaction,
he bludges them to death with the butt of this rifle.
And the shot that they used
was the reflection of the guy's face
in the pool of blood
of the guy he killed.
Yeah, it was just like,
oh man, that's the f***.
That right there was worth watching this whole movie
just to see that shot.
Yeah, it was really cool.
Yeah, getting involved in films
or anything that's outside of the s***
that you're getting twisted up in your head
is always good for you
because it just makes you realize
there's people out there doing a lot of things.
They're making cool things.
Yeah.
You know?
Can you get lost on social media
or lost in arguing with things you don't like?
Yeah, I feel like I'm in the Truman Show here.
So I'm just getting the American version of movies.
I'm getting the American version of news.
And everybody's yelling at each other.
And it's just like,
I'm trying to poke a hole in the tent
to try to just get something else coming in
because I can't...
Yeah, it's just...
There's a great Russian horror movie
called Sputnik.
And it's a film that's all in subtitles.
But it's basically like their version
of the movie Alien.
It's f***ing good.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's good.
Oh, okay.
I try to watch it with my kid
and she was like,
I'm not reading while I watch a movie.
I'm like, damn, that is my kid.
Oh, my God.
