There's this woman by the name of Esther Perel. She's a psychiatrist. She wrote a book called Mating and Captivity.

And her thing is like how redefining infidelity and how as a society we've been like, no, no, bad, bad, bad, bad.

But she basically is like, you know, who owns our erotic self? Like, do we give ownership when we enter like a monogamy with someone?

Do they own every aspect of that, every aspect of us, even like our erotic self?

And so basically in it, she talks about it's hard to kind of figure out like what infidelity is because so many people have different definitions of it. So I want to go through a list with you guys and you tell me if it's cheating or not.

"

I'm reading a fricking book called breathe or breath, right? Okay. I literally, I literally wish you never told me that. Now he's going to worry about it. Yeah. Now it's another thing to worry about.

I literally wish you never told me that.

I have a question about that Phil Collins song.

What is that song about?

Is it about like sexual assault or some type of rape or something?

No, I think it's about a guy.

Is that true that it's about the guy drowning? Because I've heard that that's an urban myth.

What are you doing?

I'm going to get the lyrics on my phone.

Yeah, I can't read it.

That's how I always know my own.

What's the song called?

In the Air Tonight.

In the Air Tonight.

Okay, read it out Bobby.

Hold on, Air Tonight.

I can't read that because of my eyes.

So tonight, In the Air Tonight, lyrics.

Let me just do it, all right?

Stop doing whatever you're doing, okay?

All right, here we go.

Let's just go by line by line.

You know what I mean?

Or like a Harry Potter, what are those like wraiths in the Harry Potter?

The mentors.

The mentors, right?

That could be anything.

I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, so a mentor, okay?

Can you feel it coming through the air tonight?

Oh, now it's getting weird.

He keeps repeating it.

Oh Lord, oh Lord.

Yeah, yeah, and he goes, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.

Oh, help!

It's not about drowning.

Oh, okay, sorry about that.

Listen, look, he's really mad at this person.

I would not lend a hand.

I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am.

Well, I was there and I saw what you did.

I saw it with my own two eyes.

So you can wipe off that.

But you've heard this urban legend that this is about a person that someone let drown and then he confronted him by bringing him to the concert and singing this song.

So it is a drowning.

What a cruel thing to do.

Not lend a hand.

Because everyone's so focused on when the drums actually come in and it's such a great song.

But I've always thought that...

There's drums in the song?

Come back, come back, please.

What are you doing?

It's more distracting this way, so go back.

Rick, what are you doing, dude?

What's wrong with you?

Don't make more of this.

I'm sorry, I had one little thing.

I did.

You're funny.

"

You know what, dude? No, I'd seen fucking Average Asian, Mad TV.

"

And I'll read like The crawdad book Oh wow That's a great great book The singing crawdads We're the crawdads Whatever The city of crawdads Whatever it is

"

I think therefore I am who said that day card a card said that in his Meditations, correct?

Yeah, you got no. No, that's the Marcus Aurelius. No in his Meditations. He did the 13 Meditations or whatever. Oh 13 meditate. Yeah Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think therefore I am so I think that's what makes a man The awareness that you're alive.

"

I also played Huckleberry Finn.

Oh, see that's-

Yeah, Huckleberry Finn was another one where when I walked out with my fucking, you know what I mean, straw hat and overalls, the whole audience burst into laughter.

You know what I mean? So it's like change the lines.

"

Unless you don't remember the Lord of the Rings when when Gandalf smoked and then he made like a boat out of the smoke

"

And now she has this new book called State of Affairs.

"

It's like everything is gonna be like if you saw like the first two Godfather movies your mind is gonna be blown

"

I've cemented myself by way of my book as kind of like a thought leader in the space of recovery.

But yeah, but no, I don't promote any of that type of activity.

I like for people who are a year, three years, five years into their recovery, they like people need to lock it and be sober 100%.

I just honestly to be completely transparent about it, I'm still battling a lot of shit in my life and still battling a lot of trauma, not substance ones.

"

I think you said the kill of the kill.

Yeah kill the monkey bird.

Kill the Mockingbird.

What's that about?

I forgot.

"

This book is The Sun Also Rises or whatever. Hemingway.

"

One book that I just became obsessed with is called Ready Player One.

So I read the book, I'm obsessed with it. I buy 50 copies. I give them to all my friends.

I don't know how I befriend the fucking author, Ernest Cline.

The fucking next book, Ready Player Two, comes out. I'm in the Thank You's next to Spielberg.

"

Oh, and that was Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City.

"

She wrote a book. Check it out right now. It's all about being pregnant.

It's all about being pregnant. TMI guide.

What's it called? Dear Future Mama.

You did an audio book for it too.

Go buy it.

One time in the fifth grade, we had to read "Bridge to Terabithia".

And then we had to make a bridge out of whatever, clay, Lego.

And he made this really cool Lego one and I was really hating on it on the way home from school after we took it home.

Because they gave him some little prize or something.

And we're walking home and he's had the thing and I'm trying to destroy it as we're walking. And it's just like, fucking stop.
