- We're bad friends.
- How about this?
If Kalilah got into a tragic car accident,
she was paralyzed from the neck down, would you stay?
- Yeah.
- You would stay?
- 100%.
- 'Cause it'd be easy to leave.
- I wouldn't.
- She couldn't even, how could she catch ya?
- No, there's no way.
- 'Cause your house isn't wheelchair ready.
- No, because her and I have, let me-
- History.
- No, no, it's not just history.
It's a-
- Clearly I'm kidding.
Of course you would stay.
- It's a connection that's far beyond just the physical.
- Right.
- If I can say.
- It's probably more than,
it's probably almost never not physical.
- Because she was, today, or she was talking about how like-
- Your relationship is maybe not physical at all anymore.
- We are physical, but today she was talking about how
when she was born or growing up,
yeah, growing up, there was these two teenage girls
that were murdered in the Philippines
and they had their titties cut off.
Right? - What the fuck?
- And she knew a guy that was accused of it,
or whatever it might be.
- You knew the guy?
- No, she didn't.
She wasn't born yet.
- Kalilah. - Kalilah did.
- Kalilah did.
- But I was like, she's like,
it could have been me and my sister, right?
- Sure. - That got her titties cut off, right?
And then my response after that was like,
oh, well then my life would have been completely worse
than it is now.
- Because she didn't have tits?
- No.
If she had died, you know what I mean,
in the 70s or 80s, right?
- Right.
- Then, and I'd never met her,
I don't know if I would be here with you right now.
I don't think, I think my life would be completely different.
- Butterfly effect, for sure.
Everything would be different if it was different.
- Yeah, I think it would be way worse because it's like--
- Well, that's hard to say.
- I'll tell you, I'll tell you why though,
I think that's true.
Is because everything that's positive in my life--
- Is because of her.
- Is a direct result of meeting her.
- That's probably true.
- In terms of just the trajectory of my career,
the trajectory of wanting to get better as a human being,
the trajectory of just everything.
- You think if Kalilah didn't check you down
when you relapsed, if you didn't have her,
that would have been the end?
- I might have still been out there, you know what I mean?
But it's not even just that.
It's like, when I did, years ago when we lived
in that apartment on Beachwood, she was like,
we should do a podcast and I'm like, no.
She goes, well, I'm gonna do one on my own then.
Go ahead.
She went to the Guitar Center by herself.
She set it up in the room and she did it on her own
for like a month, right?
And then one day I walked by her, the door was open
and she was just sitting there in a mic
and just doesn't know what to say.
She's just sitting there, she had done it, right?
And I just kind of went, all right, we'll do one.
So I would go, let's just call it Tiger Belly.
And she's like, why?
I'm like, because no one's gonna listen to this anyway.
It doesn't make any sense as a non sequidor, right?
And we started doing it and then here we are.
You know what I mean?
I'm a podcaster, right?
Because of that experience.
- Yeah, correct.
- Yeah, so it's like everything-
- So she has had a positive effect.
- Everything, everything.
- So without her, you'd be worthless.
- I might be.
- Truly.
- I could have found something else in life,
but I think I might've got it COVID
because she's so, you know what I mean, adamant, right?
She was very strict about this pandemic
and I followed the rules of the house.
- You sure did.
- What do you mean?
- No, you did.
- I did and I didn't get it.
- Yeah, that's good.
I got it.
- I know you did.
- They're cooler than you.
- No.
