You haven't gotten out of the tank and had satisfaction. You know that Keith Richards thing, right? Yeah, dad. No, but he went to sleep. Really? He had this sound activated recorder that he got by the side of the bed and his guitar. And he went to sleep one night, woke up the next morning, there on the tape recorder, oh, there was some voice activation in the night. He played it, it was satisfaction. My friend works- You haven't gotten that yet? No, I haven't had that yet. My friend works at a school in Connecticut where his kids go, where Keith Richards' kids go. And Keith Richards will ride on a bike to school with a fucking bandana on. And my friend's like, holy shit, that's Keith Richards. He's just kind of hanging around with normal people. And he said it freaks you out. When you see him, you're like, what? That's fucking Keith Richards? He just hangs out. Just like, he's a giant superstar, but he drifts into the real world and it just freaks people out. I mean, I only met Keith Richards in groups of people that wasn't really like bicycling into your... Yeah. But still, it's so amazing. Surreal. So surreal. He's an epic human. Yeah, yes. The voice recorder thing is new. That's why I haven't had any... It's a new idea that I have because there's times that I didn't have to get out. But the solution to this teen thing and the separation of America and getting more polarized, it's gonna be solved by Joe in the tank at some point. We can count on that? No. Now that you got the recorder? I think we're gonna solve it ourselves. I think we're gonna solve it ourselves through just time. I think as we're getting back to Pinker, we were talking about Pinker earlier that he gets so much shit for saying that things are better now than ever. It doesn't dismiss horrific acts that take place or terrible things that are going on. And it doesn't say that the battle is over. Right, no, no, no. I mean, this is one of the things that I would push in my little microcosm, push for so hard in Penn and Teller. Teller and I would have real trouble just crossing a finish line. I would just say to him, you know, Teller, we've done five seasons of bullshit. And it went, well, let's go out, the two of us, have coffee and donuts, and let's just say, wow, we did that. And then push ahead for the next thing. And I would just... I just think that Pinker is like that with me. Pinker's like saying, you know, human beings, we're doing okay. We're doing okay. We've done some really good things. Now let's get back to work.
