*Dive Studios Jingle* (I'm procrastinating so I did this for fun.)
Tablo: I can totally tell Eddie, that you look...
Eddie: *sigh* Dude this is- Tablo: that I lost you at hello.
Eddie: This is a DRAINING conversation.
In my head...
I'm listening, but it's like...
Tablo: Eddie is gonna quit today .
Eddie: I'm thinking in circles, man.
Diane: He's thinking, " Man, I used to chase a soccer ball and that was great. Put it in the goal.
Eddie: But my question is like,
We can think about all this,
but still begs the question,
"So what?"
Tablo: That's actually...
*everyone laughs*
Tablo: Eddie,
good point.
Eddie: You know, it's like-
Tablo: That's actually where I wanted to bring it to.
Eddie: Okay.
Tablo: You know how at the...
onset of this episode,
I said it's a human need
to daydream about time travel.
Eddie: There we go. This is the Tablo I know.
Tablo: Because we all wanna fix our mistakes...
and we all wanna...
protect ourselves...
from the unknown,
Right?
And that's why we daydream about time travel.
And that's why we are...
why we love novels... and stories
and films and songs
that take us to a different time.
Because it helps us cope with the present.
But at the end of the day -
What did you say, "Who cares?"
Eddie: "So what?"
Tablo: Yeah, at the end of the day, "So what?"
Because the fact is,
we are living ONLY in the present. Eddie: Right.
Tablo: And the past doesn't exist.
It truly does not exist. Eddie: That's right.
Tablo: It only exists as memory.
And the future doesn't exist.
There is no such thing as past and future. There is only the present.
And then, there are memories Eddie: Yup
Tablo: or nightmares or fears or daydreams.
So what's actual is only this moment.
And that's why we have to live in the moment, right?
Eddie: Yup
Tablo: That's...I think that's what we can get out of this whole thing about time travel
Eddie: The reality is...
I'm eating a Filet-O-Fish from McDonald's in the present.
And yes, I can be some sort of simulation.
But the thing is I'm tasting this Filet-O-Fish
Okay, maybe in another world, I'm eating a lobster.
Diane: I like how Eddie's like, "Yeah that's what I meant."
*laugh*
Tablo: That's not what I meant, but I think you're sorta getting it.
Eddie: Hey, so what baby!
Tablo: Let me conclude this essay .
What I'm trying to say is... What I'm trying to say is...
A lot of people today...
actually are time travelling.
*What*
Tablo: We are living in a perpetual state of time travel
where instead of living in the present,
we are dwelling on the past, not able to get out of past mistakes and scars.
And also a lot of us - some of us - are so focused on the future that we forget to look around
where we are.
And that means we literally are in a state of time travel because you're living everywhere but now
Right? And...
And knowing that,
I think we need to focus a little more on the now.
Eddie: *wooo*
And time travel and alternate universes, our fascination with it.
If there's one thing it can teach us or that it needs to teach us
is... how important... NOW is.
Ironically enough, right?
Eddie: Yeah
Dude,
you said that beautifully and that's why I'm gonna look right in this camera and I'm gonna say,
Brittany, I love you.
You my bae.
Rocky, I'll be home soon.
We gonna be on the couch cuddling, watching cartoons dude. Very soon.
Let's live in the present.
I love you.
Tablo: That's the future. That is the future. Diane: Come on, brother.
Tablo: That is the future, dude.
Eddie: But in future, that's gonna happen. But when we are together, I'm gonna
Tablo: But you said it now. Eddie: live in the present.
Eddie: Yeah, I said it now. Tablo: But here's the thing.
If you go back to LA and you get to your house and they're not there,
You're gonna start thinking about whether or not you slipped into an alternate universe, dude.
Call me if that happens.
Eddie: Ok...
Tablo: Bye guys *laughs*
