I watched your movie, dude.
Yeah, what'd you think?
I watched it last night, man.
I thought it was really great.
I thought it was one of the things you talked about a few minutes ago made me
kind of even
think about it.
It was like when you look around your rental place that you're at now, that
there's not
even things that are your, like there's not pieces of you that are spaces or
memories
or you can walk past something and think like, oh, Kelly and I were there or
that's, you
know, one of our first vacations or that's where we got a dog or different
things like
that, right?
And it kind of reminded me of just some of the, like the archives that, because
the
movie's called Eternity and it's basically, can you just give me a brief
summation of what
it's like?
Because you'll do a better job.
So when you die, they, you get put with somebody and then you, you know, you
take a train and
then you get kind of deposited in this like Grand Central Station meets like
World's Fair
kind of place.
You get an afterlife coordinator and then they, the rules are you, you know,
you get to live
eternally.
You pick an eternity, but once you pick, you're in that for, you know, forever.
Yeah.
And so the eternities have different themes.
There's like capitalism world or like a smoking world.
Yeah.
Marilyn Manson world.
Yeah.
Marilyn, yeah.
Manson world.
Chocolate world.
Yeah.
You can get down with, you know, what, yeah, whatever.
Somebody was like, I want an eternity where it's like, uh, Miami beach,
spaghetti and cocaine.
I was like, well, that's Miami.
That's like, I think you just, you can actually go there now.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That's a night at Carbone.
Yeah.
That's all that is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, Carbone is so good.
Carbone is good.
Oh my God.
Um, yeah.
So.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
I thought it was just beautifully shot.
I just thought it was really, just a really original script.
You know what I mean?
And it's like, it's so original.
Um, and it makes you think about like, you know, if I do pass away, it gives me,
it gave
me like, um, well, you will pass away.
Oh yeah.
Shit.
Now I'm just thinking, well, I don't know.
Biohacking is crazy right now.
A lot of haters.
Yeah.
A lot of haters in here.
I'll say if I do pass away, well, debatable.
Yeah.
But it was great because your, uh, your character's wife, um, all Elizabeth Olson,
Elizabeth Olson,
right.
She, uh, passes away and then she has to choose between her first love.
Yeah.
This dude who's been waiting, he, he passed away in the Korean war.
He's been waiting like 60 something years for her.
Right.
And you who are at the, kind of like at the grand central station now too, you
guys are
both kind of waiting for her in a way.
Yeah.
Well, I didn't know he was, I didn't know he was still waiting for her.
Uh, are we giving away too much of you?
No, that's, that's in, I think that's like in the trailer.
Yeah.
It's all like in the first 10 minutes.
Yeah.
Um, but it's kind of fascinating because then she shows up and now you two are
kind of
vying for her affections.
Yeah.
Um, and then who does she stay with?
Does she stay with this first love that she lost and didn't get to have a life
with?
Or does she stay with this love that she already got to have a life with?
Yeah.
And it's just, uh.
And there are, there was like, I was, some people were telling me, um, you know,
it's
like, oh man, that's, that's my, my nightmare.
You know, people that have been, you know, had, you know, been widowed and
moved on this
and that, but it, but look, I think it, but it does, it really makes you think
about, um,
yeah, your own life and what's beyond and, you know, family and, I don't know.
Well, and how long love lives.
Yeah.
I think that was part of it.
Like, I remember when I've done, and this is a little bit of a weird, uh, sidebar,
but
like when I've done like, uh, DMT, it's like the only feeling that you're left
with is that
the only important feeling as it feels like you're leaving the existence is
that love was
the most important thing and that everything else was just a complete fool's
errand.
Yeah.
Um, and also that, um, well, cause we were talking about, but you get this
feeling that
your, your consciousness, which is who we are is really, you know, this really
is just
kind of this, um, vessel, this physical form, but it is, but who you are exists
when you ever
you've been in a situation where you feel like you've left, uh, your body, um,
but you
still, you know, think like yourself, you still feel like yourself.
And that, that kind of remains intact.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, that's a good, and we're not saying that, you know, what I'm talking
about, but
we're just saying that, that yes, the consciousness of who we are still exists
outside of our vessels.
That's what certain experiences have made me feel like.
Yeah.
And that, that consciousness is still able to, to evaluate that love is so
important.
Yeah.
That's one thing that I thought.
No, but also I've thought about that too.
I'm like, I think the most important thing in life for me really is, you know,
it's like
relationships, you know, to me, that's the thing when I'm, I imagine when I'm
sitting
there on my deathbed, if I'm lucky enough to.
If you die.
Yeah.
If, if I die, um, too, cause we have a new package for you.
Right.
Sure.
I can't wait.
Um, give me that longevity, you know, whatever it is.
We got a new, we got a new peptide for you.
Perfect, dude.
Um, you know, Kelly will show me like one thing.
Somebody talking about some product.
I'm like, yeah, sure.
Sounds good.
Was it B pollen sperm?
Like, yeah, I can put it in a smoothie, babe, but no, but it's, it's like
relationships.
Like to me, that's, that's what I'm going to be thinking.
I'm not going to be thinking about how this, you know, that, that Bronco or
that movie or
that I'm going to be like, man, I'm going to be thinking about, you know, my
wife, my,
you know, my buddies, my, you know, my family, my, um, my relationship with
whatever higher
being I have.
And I think that's kind of the, and that's what I get the most, um, like the
return from,
um, what you put into relationships.
That's what, that's what you're going to get back.
I just think that's, that's always kind of led me on a good path in life.
Yeah.
It's like, I know sometimes I feel like I've almost spent too much time working.
One of the nice things, like I recently kind of have gotten to take a break
from touring
because I'd been kind of touring pretty heavily for like four or five years and
maybe really
for probably 15 years.
And, uh, and so like, I've been able to like go to football games and like
maybe try to
plan a date and go on a date, you know, not be like, try to pick up the
pieces all the time and stuff like that.
And like, yeah, just things like that to be able to see a friend like a couple
of weeks
in a row or know that you're going to be able to keep the relationship going
and stuff like
that is, um, yeah.
And when it's not just sandwiched in between, it's like, okay, I have one and a
half days,
you know, I have this thing on Friday, you know, this thing on Monday, whatever.
Um, yeah, that's never enjoyable.
It doesn't feel real.
It doesn't feel like there's any space.
Give some time to yourself.
And I've like, even with filming, man, I've, I've kind of always been pretty
good.
Obviously if it's, I have no problem going like back to back to back if it's
the right
thing.
But other than that, uh, it's for me, it's gotta be really special because you
just, you
take time.
Like I enjoy my miles life.
I enjoy my life with my friends and my family and, you know, Kelly and this and
that.
So, uh, to have the time to, like you said, kind of nourish those relationships
is so
important, you know, and just figure out who like, I don't know, get back to
what you
like.
There's this fun, like thing going on where you guys are like, you know,
figuring out
these different worlds, like the afterlife and it's super entertaining.
But then there's also like, there was this sort of like emotion, like kind of
pretty emo
emotional stuff going on with like, yeah, how do we look at love?
And like, if you've already gotten to live one love, if you got to go back,
would you
choose a different one?
And, uh, yeah, it was just, yeah, it's certainly, I mean, what I enjoyed about
reading the
script and kind of when we performed it was that it doesn't, it never loses its
kind of
grounding and, and the stakes and the sincerity of it.
There's some really funny moments and there's some kind of, um, you know, but
nothing ever
becomes like slapstick.
It's not, it's not a movie where we're just trying to get in as many one liners
as we
can.
I think it's, it always kind of, um, it's just a delicate balance between
having that
sincerity and the love.
And also I think, I do think it's really funny.
Yeah.
I think it's like, it's just, and we had, after the, we did the premiere in
Toronto, man,
we just had like at the after party, you could just tell people were kind of
coupling off
and just talking.
It just makes you think.
I think it's a beautiful, a beautiful film.
Um, one of my favorite parts too, just right in the beginning when they're
driving in that
car together, dude, I could have watched those two people in that car.
That's the Northeast dude.
But also it's just couples that have been around for that long.
Just this natural, just kind of, you're not going to offend me and just
bullshit, banter,
bickering, complaining.
And they're both, neither one of them is saying everything they're doing is
just kind of like
making the other one, like whatever they're saying a problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I think my wife and I secretly enjoy to like kind of fucking annoy each
other.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
That's probably part of love probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like a little bit of annoyance, a little bickering.
Yeah.
