13:47
these cactuses and die and accept that
13:47
these cactuses and die and accept that the world is a bad place. I think the
13:49
the world is a bad place. I think the

the world is a bad place. I think the world is a beautiful, wonderful place
13:52
world is a beautiful, wonderful place
13:52

13:56
most of them are all terrified of each other, but there's no reason to be

14:06
still be here. There's all kinds of things to do and to see and to be. That
14:10
things to do and to see and to be. That
14:10
things to do and to see and to be. That was another thing I wanted to talk
14:12
was another thing I wanted to talk
14:12
was another thing I wanted to talk about. I've been thinking about a lot
14:13
about. I've been thinking about a lot
14:13
about. I've been thinking about a lot lately. I'm just sharing some of my
14:14
lately. I'm just sharing some of my
14:14
lately. I'm just sharing some of my thoughts and feelings with you. It's not
14:15
thoughts and feelings with you. It's not
14:15
thoughts and feelings with you. It's not directed at anybody or any kind of
14:17
directed at anybody or any kind of
14:17
directed at anybody or any kind of passive aggressive things. It's kind of
14:18
passive aggressive things. It's kind of
14:18
passive aggressive things. It's kind of my least favorite thing in the world,
14:19
my least favorite thing in the world,
14:19
my least favorite thing in the world, passive aggressive. But again, maybe I'm
14:22
passive aggressive. But again, maybe I'm
14:22
passive aggressive. But again, maybe I'm too far the opposite way because like I
14:24
too far the opposite way because like I
14:24
too far the opposite way because like I was saying earlier, sometimes my honest
14:26
was saying earlier, sometimes my honest
14:26
was saying earlier, sometimes my honest what I'm thinking goes straight out my
14:27
what I'm thinking goes straight out my
14:27
what I'm thinking goes straight out my mouth. This often gets me into trouble.
14:29
mouth. This often gets me into trouble.
14:29
mouth. This often gets me into trouble. But that's neither here nor there.
14:31
But that's neither here nor there.
14:31
But that's neither here nor there. Another thing I've been thinking about
14:32
Another thing I've been thinking about
14:32
Another thing I've been thinking about is dreams. People say live your dreams.
14:34
is dreams. People say live your dreams.
14:34
is dreams. People say live your dreams. I've just seen this some cynicism about
14:36
I've just seen this some cynicism about
14:36
I've just seen this some cynicism about that stuff about being whoever you want
14:39
that stuff about being whoever you want
14:39
that stuff about being whoever you want to be and you can be whatever you dream
14:41
to be and you can be whatever you dream
14:41
to be and you can be whatever you dream of being. I've been going to the Walt
14:42
of being. I've been going to the Walt
14:42
of being. I've been going to the Walt Disney Family Museum a lot, working on a
14:44
Disney Family Museum a lot, working on a
14:44
Disney Family Museum a lot, working on a little bit of a video about that. Don't
14:46
little bit of a video about that. Don't
14:46
little bit of a video about that. Don't tell anybody.
14:48
tell anybody.
14:48
tell anybody. Seeing the way that Walt Disney failed
14:50
Seeing the way that Walt Disney failed
14:50
Seeing the way that Walt Disney failed and then built something and then failed
14:52
and then built something and then failed
14:52
and then built something and then failed and then built something and failed and
14:54
and then built something and failed and
14:54
and then built something and failed and built something and even after he had
14:55
built something and even after he had
14:55
built something and even after he had built this mighty empire, he kept coming
14:57
built this mighty empire, he kept coming
14:57
built this mighty empire, he kept coming up with new ideas that people said,
14:58
up with new ideas that people said,
14:58
up with new ideas that people said, "We're crazy. There's no way to
15:00
"We're crazy. There's no way to
15:00
"We're crazy. There's no way to accomplish that wall and he never gave
15:01
accomplish that wall and he never gave
15:01
accomplish that wall and he never gave up and built this whole thing." And so,
15:03
up and built this whole thing." And so,
15:03
up and built this whole thing." And so, you know, it's very inspirational.
15:04
you know, it's very inspirational.
15:04
you know, it's very inspirational. People like that really inspire me. Um,
15:07
People like that really inspire me. Um,
15:07
People like that really inspire me. Um, so talking a lot about dreams and seeing
15:08
so talking a lot about dreams and seeing
15:08
so talking a lot about dreams and seeing some cynicism, some feedback on that
15:10
some cynicism, some feedback on that
15:10
some cynicism, some feedback on that like, "No, not everyone can be what they
15:12
like, "No, not everyone can be what they
15:12
like, "No, not everyone can be what they want." Listen, listen. When I was
15:15
want." Listen, listen. When I was
15:15
want." Listen, listen. When I was younger, I wanted to be a in a rock and
15:17

15:37
some people could point at that and say, "You didn't become what you dreamed of
15:39
"You didn't become what you dreamed of

and say I never made it to the top of the radio, which was wasn't my goal
16:26
the radio, which was wasn't my goal
16:26
the radio, which was wasn't my goal anyway, but I could I'm just saying this
16:27
anyway, but I could I'm just saying this
16:27
anyway, but I could I'm just saying this is for this is a for instance. This is a
