I'll tell you a claim that I thought was pretty wild, was the Tesla guy whose
name escapes me.
Why do I think Mosh, Nash, Musk, Elon Musk.
Elon Musk was saying that he made a claim on a podcast that the birthing rate
was way down with young people
and that basically the world population was going to nosedive and that we were
all going to go extinct.
Rather than it being some big nuclear war, he thought we were just going to go
extinct
because everyone was going to stop having babies.
And I've got to be honest with you, that had to have been one of the dumbest
things I've ever heard in my life.
You know, he goes like, we're just going to go out with like a whimper.
It's like, you don't think when people notice that we're becoming extinct that
people won't then have babies?
Maybe, did you ever think why they're not having babies?
Maybe they're not having babies because they don't want to bring them into this
fucked up world.
If the population went down significantly and we could reverse what the fuck we're
doing to the planet,
maybe more people would feel like there's a reason to bring a life into the
world.
I don't think that everyone's just going to sit around going,
well, no one's having babies.
Looks like we're all going to go extinct.
I have a new theory.
Okay, smart people who go on podcasts are not that smart.
All right.
They're campaigning to be smart.
That Neil deGrasse Tyson, I mean, when is he looking through a fucking
microscope?
Every time you see the guy, he's fucking on a podcast.
I'm on a podcast.
I went to summer school.
I'm a moron.
Right?
And then somebody yells, oh, look at me.
I'm going to make a fucking, I'm going to make a fucking spaceship that goes to
Mars.
You're going to do it?
You're going to sit down and do it?
Or do you have the ability to organize and delegate it?
Where the really smart people that are making it don't have time to go on a
fucking podcast?
All of these fucking doctors and shit going on podcast.
Shouldn't they be like, what?
Hey, some comedian wants you to go on his podcast.
I'm too busy curing cancer or trying to.
I don't have time to go on and fucking try to explain what I'm doing to
somebody with a fucking high school education.
I don't know, but I'm dumb.
Maybe like that's what it is.
I don't think like doctors who are on TV are that good at their job.
I don't think fucking therapists that host their own fucking talk show.
I don't think they really give a shit about the mental health of other people.
I just don't, I don't think they do.
There's just something about it where it's just like, shouldn't you be like
going out there like, I'm not saying all of it.
Like I think chefs that are on TV are good at what they do.
I'm not saying that they're the best.
You know, I mean, I'm in this business.
I know how that works.
Just because you're on TV doesn't mean you're the best at what you do.
Maybe you're the best at the business or maybe you caught a break or maybe you
know somebody.
But that whole fucking theory that like people are just going to stop having
babies.
And like, that's why we're going to go to extinct.
It's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Because if that was actually the case, then there really wouldn't be an
abortion debate because there'd be no fucking babies to abort.
Right?
Now listen, I know I don't have a shiny face at my own car company, but I'm
just going to say I don't think that that's the smartest theory out there.
Oh my God, shots fired.
All right.
I'm not even upset with Elon Musk.
I'm just upset with other mouth-breathing morons like myself that we never
question people like that.
Or you just kind of sit there going like, or at least I don't.
I just go, well, that guy's really successful.
He must know things.
And then once in a while, I'm like, well, if he's really that successful, what
the fuck is he doing talking to people like me?
