We probably talk about the movie back to the future too often on the show, I would say. It comes up a lot.

0:18.1

And I think one of the reasons I love it so much is because like a lot of people, I am fascinated by the idea of time travel.

0:24.8

If you could go back, if you could change the past, if you could change the future,

0:29.6

where would you go? I think about that. Well, what would you do go back or forward? I would go back. You would. Yeah, I have one

0:37.0

particular regret. I think I would that you go back to your own life. You wouldn't go back before you were alive. Is that narcissistic?

0:43.1

It is pretty narcissistic. That because that's what I'm concerned mostly about my own life. I hate to say now it sounds narcissistic.

0:49.9

Yeah, when you frame it that way. I mean, I'm interested in other things and other moments in history. Of course, I'd like if I as long as I settle this one thing

square that away and don't have to have regrets about it, then I think I would like to go back to other periods. Where would you go back?

2:10.9

But then on the flip side, if it's if I go to the future and it's really good, then I'm going to be jealous that I don't that I won't get to exist in that time.

2:19.4

So, well, in either if it's good or bad, I don't want to see it, right? Presumably, if you were there and you were witnessing it, I mean, you could exist in it.
