Kelly Carlin is, like her father -- the famous comedian George Carlin -- a sort of modern-day philosopher, a rarity in today's climate that calls things exactly as it is. I invited her to Santa Monica to come talk to me about, well, everything, from politics to comedy, and everything in between. This a thought-provoking -- and dare I say important -- conversation, and I hope you enjoy it.

Fantastic discussion. Kelly was so interesting! - I will say I don't feel like I'm losing my humanity. I think I've gained some humanity in the rise of social media. Like Colin I'm a millennial. I remember a time with no cell phone, internet ( had 56k until 2006... ugh), etc. I was raised in Texas in a very conservative environment, and socially I was filled with a lot of hate. Social media exposed me to the power of that hate, and I've changed a lot in the last 15 years. The internet played a big role in that. -- That being said the addictive part of the conversation is completely true. Going through email, social media, etc withdrawal is nuts! Like she's absolutely correct that your hand twitches to reach for your pocket and get online. That part we do need to get better at managing -- Sorry for the novel of a comment, but this episode spoke to me about a lot of things that have been on my mind this last year. Keep it up my dude.

I'm so glad you liked the show! Kelly and I are mutual friends of Dave Rubin's, and we quickly hit it off.

George Carlin, in my opinion, is/was the best comedian of all time. His views on society, politics, people etc., while comedic, made me always question everything. Be more inquisitive about why things are the way they are. Every time I see a homeless person I hear him say “They’re not homeless, they’re houseless.”

Wow Colin. This was amazing. Her statement about running the opposite way from the crowd really struck me as parallel with a scripture I love. The scripture says (paraphrased) "enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it" Which I always translated to: If I look around and everyone is on the same path as me, I'm on the wrong path! Anyway, that podcast was so good. George Carlin is one of my favorite truth tellers, and now i can say that his daughter is right up there with him. Thanks for all that you do my dude. Your work makes my days better and I can only hope that in some small way I can make someone's day better. That's a goal for all of us to strive for. P.S. - Make sure you take some time for you to recharge your batteries. <3

This episode was great! Loved the conversation between you two about Twitter and social media, especially. One of my favorite episodes of Fireside Chats so far!

Andrew

I tweeted this at you but I’ll say it again here: I literally listened to this start to finish twice today. Such a great conversation! Please collaborate more in the future if possible! I feel like I'm becoming a bit repetitive with how often I post " this was a great conversation " LOL.....

Marc Boggio

This episode had a real Joe Rogan Experience vibe - you two have great rapport and she had a lot fascinating insights on a variety of topics. I’d absolutely support a follow up episode focusing on her Buddhism; I have a feeling she’s got an interesting story there. Great work!

Peter Campbell

Loved this episode. Really terrific conversation. Like Marc I would love to hear a Buddhism episode, as someone who meditates and finds this area fascinating.

Liking the episode so far, just a quick take on the social media thing. I despise all the trolling, mean-spirited, intolerant, mouth-breathing shit on social media. However, I am deeply involved with an animal rescue group that saved over 1100 animals last year alone, and we simply could not do what we do without Facebook. It is such in incredible tool for good when it is used that way, it all depends on the people who use it. So there is a huge dichotomy that probably exists everywhere in some fashion, all based around the people itself and how they can control themselves with the tools at their disposal.

Thank you for your kind words! I need a day off, for sure. Truth is, I haven't had a real day off in 2018. Even when Erin and I went to Vegas, I probably worked half of the time I was there. -_-

I'm confident that you will get that episode. I'm gonna reach out to her about it in the coming couple of months.

That's awesome that you're involved in something so great, and there's no doubt that social media (just like the Internet generally) is capable of seemingly infinite positivity and possibilities when funneled in the right direction. But, alas, I think the war is still being lost.

Killin' it as usual, Col. Kelly was a really fascinating guest and I'm really glad you had her on the show cause I love philosophically driven discussions like this! I don't know how you're doing all of this awesome content but I'm sure as hell enjoying it!

Anthony Stewart

Podcast was great loved her on Dave's show and was really excited when I saw her name pop up on your feed

Chris Holtzer

Love the show as always. I'd love to hear you speak more about your thoughts on "privilege". I've never been able to get an objective answer on what "white privilege" is. There is a lot of "advantage this" or "opportunity that", but we can't ever support that with racial causation. There is always correlation examples, but like any epidemiological citation, there is almost no evidence that the causation exists. Is "Asian privilege" a think too? I personally can't think of one opportunity in my life that I would have been barred from if I had been a different race. I can think of many that my parents cultural upbringing and economic status influenced, but that is not the same thing as race. There are many...many white people who lacked some of those benefits my parents worked hard to provide. So is it really racial privilege or perhaps cultural or economic privilege?

It's certainly a deep and interesting question, one totally worth getting deep into. Thank you for listening!

Travis Johnson

This conversation really spoke to me, Colin! I often struggle with perceiving myself as weak or limited by often failing to come down to a conclusive opinion on many issues (like Kelly I play devil's advocate in my head for EVERYTHING) and it's always comforting to hear that many other people go through this and consider it healthy. I think experiencing a journey to personal discovery is more important than holding to a concrete, unmovable platform your whole life, and it's a shame that the nature of modern discourse blinds us to each others' nuances.

I'm super happy to hear that this conversation moved you, and gave you some positive perspective in/for your own life.

This one is one of my favorite episodes so far. I can relate and agree with your point of views. Kelly seems like such a smart person, and I quickly became very intriqued even though I had never heard of Kelly before.
