Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 I was just wondering if faith has played a role in life at all. Okay. What else?

0:06 No, I not faith cultural but faith any kind. Yeah. No, I wish I wish I could get there. I I can't. And Stephen, by the way, is a faithful Catholic and and I but I I've never been like a belief guy. I've always been this guy. But if he's all powerful, why children die? Like I'm that guy. It's verying annoying. I'm not against religion. Religion has given the world uh a tremendous amount of uh comfort in a world torn apart uh by religion mostly. But the the the important thing I just I'm not a believer like that. I think that's my biggest problem is is like I know that there's probably a gap between like you know uh we are here by divine intervention or we're just like bathroom mold that got luckier than other bathroom mold. Like I know I'm sure there's probably a middle ground there.

1:00 I wish I could. Did you always have it? Did you come to it? Is it something you had to like figure out?

1:06 I've always been Jewish. No, no, no. That Yeah, sure. But no, I I came to it. I I myself, do I genuinely believe? And the answer is yes.

1:18 That's a I wish I could get because every time I'm like, you know what it is for me? I think it's the specificity that me up cuz like if you were to say to me like there's a spirit in the universe and it carries a thing but it's more like and he was 33 years old and a carpenter and I'm like all right, you know, it's like the the Jewish religion. It's a faith-based thing and like and God said kill your son and then he came out and that's why we cut off the top of your dick. Like it's like it's that stuff where I'm just like or they're just like God doesn't make mistakes and I'm like have you seen a scrotum? Like there's no way that that is like I understand the eyeball like the eyeball you think like oh [ __ ] that's amazing but the scrotum and it's the same process and I'm sure boss what should we do here? He's like here's what we're going to do. We're going to take all the nerve endings and

2:09 we're going to tie them up in like a ball. He's like oh that doesn't sound very smart but okay. What are we going to do with the ball? Oh, we're going to put it in like a pouch. And you're like, "Oh, like a nice pouch like you do like with chevvis uh uh like the nice the velvet pouch." He's like, "No, not a nice pouch. Like a pouch with like hair and weird [ __ ] on it." And then you're like, "Well, all right. Well, then we're going to put it in like a sternum like to protect it." He's like, "No, here's what we're going to do. We're going to just [ __ ] hang it. We're just going to hang it so that any [ __ ] can walk by and go, you know?" So that's you know what I'm
