I have a joke I have some jokes about tech stuff like I can't wait till we have driverless cars everywhere I think that'll be interesting because it'll just be a matter of time before people figure out that they can just get a car for their dogs you're like honey we're the dogs I got a car they're just driving around for an hour imagine being at a red light and a car full of dogs just pulled up hey honey it's mom I love the drawers Sam I know that it's a lot of work you'll get it done call me if you need a pep talk I know you can do it oh and don't forget to eat love you bye message say it's what you've got is first big thing in your life you're never gonna get over it hey how's your dad doing he's okay I guess some sort of cross-training phase of grief it's a dramedy that's how people are describing it why was it important for you to make this room your movie the movies about grief and loss and coming out of grief and I lost my dad when I was young when I was 20 my dad passed away and he was 46 he was young my mom was widowed at 41 so our family was really devastated and in many ways has never recovered we are fine and we moved on in some ways but you know you just never get over it and I want to go back to a Daily Show skit it's about tech those super famous you introduced the world of The Daily Show audience to social networks yeah talking about MySpace and you did a whole song about your 9,000 followers on MySpace I checked this morning your Twitter followers are three hundred and seventy two thousand plus how would you do that skit today in the world that we live in social networks man I don't think I could do that skit today and I it's I find it very humbling I don't know how you all get your heads around it as things change it seems by the minute I find it as a public person very difficult to navigate social media and as a 44 year old man I feel somewhat alienated I don't get a lot of it I don't want to be on Facebook life I don't I don't want people to have smiley faces flying in front of what I'm doing jokes I hate it I think it's insidious and it's fun by Theodore they're purposefully manipulating people's pleasure centers in their brains and I think it's five I'm worried for my kids and for myself so I don't know I think I would opt out I'd be like books man paper
