Oh h! You know, talking about nuclear destruction is never a happy topic.
Unless that's your kink, which no shame from me! But, really, come on...
I was spending some time at The Bridge today. The Bridge is this co-working space that's in Calgary,
Alberta. And eventual home of my Media Lab! Announcement. But here's the thing, as fun
as that all is, and with all of the stuff that I am trying to do online: different
writing projects, trying to produce two to three videos a week, and the fact that
I'm starting a business, could the world just collectively agree to stop it? Can
we just stop it for a moment!? I know that I don't talk about politics very often
on this channel, and for good reason. I'm a dummy dumb. So I don't like to talk
about it because, really, I don't feel that I can eloquently discuss different
socio-economic trends. Because, the fact of the matter is: A – I don't know about it,
and B – I don't care to know about it most of the time. I am going to place the
blame here, a little bit, at Donald Trump's feet. As the leader of the free world
you do have to realize that your words have consequences. So when you say that
you're going to bring the sound and the fury against North Korea
some people get, quite honestly, a little bit upset by that. If I'm being honest
though – and it's never too late to try new things, right? – if I'm being honest, my
worry of the end of the world is probably my sixth or seventh greatest
fear. My two biggest ,of course, being mice and wondering if Cher is doing okay. Am i
afraid that Donald Trump is going to start a Nuclear Armageddon? Probably not.
Although, the fact that I'm hedging my bets scares me a little bit more than it
should. I agree with that, but there's so many different layers that he has to go
through before bombs start flying across the Pacific. While I was at The Bridge, I
ran into my friend Ralph because I invited him to come to The Bridge. We're
also working on a really cool project that I can't wait to share with you, but
I asked him: is he afraid of the end of the world?
RALPH: To be honest with you, I don't. The interesting thing about the idea of the end the world, and this is my
optimistic and hopeful side, I hope that we get so far ahead of everything else
that we end up crashing into a dark age. And our world becomes apocalyptic and
caveman-y style at the end of the day. I'm actually excited for that aspect, but
I'm pretty sure that I won't be there to see it.
KYLE: So I guess I should stock up on some cologne.
However, I also wondered if there was any
advice he'd like to give to the president.
RALPH: Stop whining! Oh my god.
The funniest thing is reading how this guy shoots down Barack Obama for going
on a golfing trip once in, like, during 7 to 8 months of, like,
nothing but presidential work, and saying that if I was ever in that position "I
would not" and then you see him, and you see all the tabloids and everything
saying, that "you've done lied!" Like legit, he is out on the golf course more than
he is actually at the White House. And you start to realize, and kind of see, the
tactic that he's putting out there. And literally he just whines.
He whines, whines, whines, until he gets what he wants. Until he whines enough for
you just to make him want to stop. And so, at the end of the day you made your bed, you
did it, and you know what? if you don't feel like you're qualified for the job,
take your own advice and say, "You're fired."
KYLE: Somehow I feel that Donald Trump doesn't give a flying hairpiece what we think.
Which might be a good thing. Does the present really need to fret over what a
couple of Canadians consider about his leadership skills? It's doubtful. It's
Mrs. Doubtfire. That's a term I just came up with, so Urban Dictionary that!
Here's my only ask, Mr. President. Can we just have an agreement, that we can go a week
without me having to worry about whether the world is going to be here in the
morning? If you have to bomb something, bomb Luxembourg. Literally nobody cares.
Not even Luxembourg! Thank you so much for watching! Including those people from
Luxembourg, I'm sure you have a great sense of humour. My name is Kyle. I upload
videos every Monday and Thursday. What do you think? Do you worry
about the end of the world? Let me know down in the comments below. And share
with me your best emoji to get through these trying times. I'll see you next
week, unless there is no next week. Who knows? Live in the moment! Feliz
Navidad! Or, whatever the saying is...
