Yeah, give me your decade, give me your decade of life. You're in a fourth decade, so you're in your 30s.

I'm trying to figure out eight eight years. I don't think so. Eight eight years. Two, second decade of life. All right.

So I'm trying to figure out how to calibrate the song quits for you, because it's not an obscure song, but it's not a song that's really lasted,

which means that you kind of had to be around. Oh, somebody said oops five. Okay. Next bit more sets in your 40s. Yeah. Yeah. It's now in my sixth decade and a couple of months, I'll be 57 years old.

It's kind of funny. So when I was a kid, when I was a kid, there were all of these commercials about freedom 55, like if you invest with us and you work, you'll be free from having to work at the age of 55 freedom 55.

55 is just all over the place when I was a kid. I don't know that those I don't know those ads are still around anymore, but 55 is when I got do you plan for it?

Sort of right. So freedom 55, they weren't kidding. I get my people think of the hypothesis of the simulation, because I mean, there are just these very, very bizarre coincidences in life.

Don't you find these very just very bizarre. Sometimes I go through them in my mind. I think, well, this was really strange. This was really strange. A girl I was interested in romantically.

But it wouldn't have worked out in hindsight, right? But I was interested in her romantically.

And we finally were, it doesn't matter, but we were in a hot tub and in a public place. And we were sort of sitting there, you know, making eyes at each other. And then this, and it would have been a bad, bad idea. It wouldn't have been the right thing to do it all.

But, you know, what does that matter when you're young? Unfortunately, I try to remind people, but I'm not just why I said I'm just older.

It's someone I should try and try and answer some of that wisdom. I mean, we sort of making a nice each other in a hot tub. And then a whole gaggle of like tattooed bloated loud guys just came in and sat in the hot tub. Hey, what you guys doing?

Just like, Bob, the moment was just, and those people, you know, if I were religious, those people would be sent from God to prevent me from making too bad, too bad a mistake.

Just get a funny that way. So many coincidences in life. And some things that, you know, I get this sort of collective unconscious stuff, you know, there are some things that I remembered for reasons that didn't make any sense.

I'd watch some show. And I would end up remembering a line from that show for years, off and on. And then it would turn out that that line would have amazing explanatory power in my life.

You know, I mentioned this many years ago, but I used to watch the show, mash mobile army surgical hospital with Alan Alder. And in it, they're talking about they end up pouring a load of concrete into a big field gun, like a artillery gun.

And they make all these jokes and one of them says, oh, it's humor of the highest caliber, you know, and because caliber is like the measure of the gun.

And I remember that. And then of course, it wasn't for a long time. I just remembered that as a kid. And it wasn't for a long time that I finally realized that my friends who were around me, who were the most funny were also the most angry.

And that there's a kind of bitterness to humor. I remember that. There was a very forgettable Tom Hanks movie about comedians where he says, I'm a comedian because I think nothing is funny.

And there's this railing against this, this, the world that takes place in comedy.

When you are a comedian, you're also full of despair because you see how absurd the world is. But because you've had a bad childhood, which is why you're a comedian, you've, it's a comedian in general.

You grow up with a parent who's hanging by a thread. And I did just the truth about Robin Williams that he grew up with a mother who was perpetually and terminally depressed.
