yes it's a it's my favorite song yeah and i you know we worked really hard on that song because we wanted to express the subtle emotion of i when yes and you win because that's the rules normally when people compete whoever does the best that person is the winner right and then everybody competes on a level playing field and everything everybody should follow the same rules you know like if we are both at the stoplight and there's stoplight says red on my side and green on yours you should go but if there's green on my side and you've written your says i should go right on now you're starting to lose me but ok continue i think this is wonderful new thing that i think is going to bring freedom to everyone new concept is a beautiful new concept and we call it exceptionalism move like it except for i don't know what it means the exception means that everybody plays by the same rules except for don't judge gets a special set of rules because he's so much cooler and better and meaner and tougher and bigger and smaller yeah and therefore i shouldn't have to put any effort in at all you should just have the rules slanted so that you can retain whatever it is that you want to retain so what we're saying time is all songs this show are going to be dug wins again well maybe not but we'll pretend that they're dug wins again so we're going to have this wonderful thing that we like to call exceptionalism and we're going to make all the rules for doug on this show do i do indeed yes it is called exceptionalism we have developed a policy of exceptionalism that where doug wins everything all the time that's not new at all that's the way it's always been well now we all recognize it and now we kind of say it out loud and i think that exceptionalism is a beautiful beautiful concept where the entire universe goes one way and goes another way and wins by doing it yeah and we're very accepting of this exceptional well see i think the best part about exceptionalism is that when it's done right people usually don't even notice it yes that's right especially if we're on the side that's that's making the example winning side right and then even when we do notice it we kind of wish we were doing it too so maybe if everybody exceptionalism and work better like all the rules changed for every would but then that that's kind of not the point isn't it because we want some people to live by phony rules that we don't want to live by if you buy something doug you shouldn't have to pay for it even if you agreed to why should you have to pay for things i mean that's for losers that's for the rest of the world we should make an exception for you yes or tom by me that sure that's the way it works but you don't even have to do that in exceptionalism you can say to me i'm going to buy that from you tom and then i would give it to and then you could just say well i'm not going to pay though you don't have to go through the trouble of asking people to do things for you you just take them and say hey exceptionalis think that's even still not going far enough really think yeah i think you wouldn't when you're really as cool as i am you just expect it from everyone around you i don't and i have to make you negotiate to begin with i just expect you're going to give it to me any rebroadcast retransmission of any part of this show without the expressed written permission is probably not worth doing suit me at a given time and i'm sort of get onboard with this because exceptionalism is something that brings something to everybody it's the rising tide that floats my boat yeah and that's let's play that song one more time while we hear the theme song to doug's hi everybody we are back out tom and doug schoen we're talking today about exceptionalism we have a great idea for exceptionalism it's my idea the idea of course is that all the rules in the universe do not apply to doug exactly they apply to all of you losers and it's not just you know your friends and colleagues and people who know you and people work with you who want to embrace but we want to embrace it for people who don't even know who you are you know it's a big wide wonderful world for you and we want you to be able to take full advantage of all the advantages you can take actually and i really thank you for that and really everyone should feel very proud that they get to be exploited by me  i welcome other people to try it but you know everybody can try doug exceptional everybody needs to try doug exceptional if it's really important because they've got to support me even if they're trying to step up to be me your head that just because doug is benefiting from exceptionalism doesn't mean that we all can't be proud of that your welcome thank you and we'll see you guys next week
