we're together yeah we're here together because your here and your we're here to we're in the same place at the same time same time and we are sort of life is like that even though that things can be separate they're also the same yeah yeah they're all happening all at once so today we're going to talk about something really important and that is the future we want to talk about how do we prepare for the future and yeah and the future for us is where we were because we you know we don't care about anything else is the music so we want to talk about how do we prepare for the music so we when we have like a thing that we got to do which is like a performance in front of people where we expect people might even show up to see us at then we have to prepare for that is not what we do i would never use that in that way it's horrible grammar so no you don't do that ok we do something completely different ok so you're mr smarty pants and mr grammer are tell me where where you were at today well it's interesting you know when we used to perform back in the eighty's yes i don't remember as doing nearly as much preparation as we do now yeah well because  we was a much more common thing for us to play oh we're playing this week and then ok we'll play next week and then the week after that to the net but when it's sort of like not as common then you do more preparation and then well she and i think there's another irony as we do more preparation the better we get is musicians and that weird that is we this is let's let's listen to this song and while we'll prepare some more we're going to prepare doug was talking about preparation and yeah and the preparation that we like to do is sometimes we rehearse right sometimes first we heard rehearse rehearse and then we rehearse i guess the more likely we're sort of deciding what we're where people show up and stuff you know and a lot of them have been benefit concerts yeah the one that we're particularly preparing for right now is the day is another benefit concert yeah but you know they had around somebody up to be benefit for which is normally the case for going to be in the you know it's hard to it's hard to estimate really i'm going to say somewhere between forty and seventy real live people you know not just like people dummies that are dressed up in stuff yeah like  so tom yes you got your preparation h there am an age of nine a day here we're ready to go so i think part of the preparation usually comes from the fact we're also trying to lead a band yeah so there's other people involved and so we have to prepare a lot and here figure out what songs in what order and then make them book so that they know what they're doing in the right order and all that yeah but this particular concert is really just the two of us so why are we working so hard because you don't want to be idiots because this bunch of people we don't know who might be there so we're willing to be total idiots for people who know us yeah but we don't want to look like losers to the people who don't know us you know we prepare you for the people who didn't know how much do we care about the people we don't know compared to the people we do know all the people we don't know their everything they could be anyone so they're a stand in for anybody in the universe and you know he must be the coolest people out there because they could be the coolest people the most dangerous people i don't maybe patrick stewart would show up yes you know whereas you know the people we know who are going to show up yeah yeah that guy yeah you know they got if you don't know them then they could be anybody yeah so is that true for us people who've never met us but just listen to us on the radio could we be anyone i think that most people have heard us on the radio think that they know oh well you know here's a song mum letting them in thank you that is time the time in drug show has been created using the finest coffee beans from all over the world song and what else yeah i remember it started with a car crash because we thought it would be funny because we didn't want to have a simple crush ok i don't know the reason for that but the whole song i think it holds together really well it's a fun fun song yes yeah it was a lot betty we're talking about preparing now one of the things in the life should we prepare for dog death really not how do you prepare for death that's a good question i know you meditators always have all these like funny little games that you play i guess you know like when you when you're out and you're drinking binges with your little shaved heads you guys you meditating you talk about hey man let's go prepare for death how it works it's kind of it and but you can do it you know you don't have to go somewhere special like you're driving down the take all the bodies and drop them you know and let the vultures eat and you're supposed to yeah to date they're ok so you would go look for dead deer's yeah yeah i guess traditionally ok that sounds like a whole lot of fun back yeah yeah maybe hi everybody we are talking about preparation we like to prepare for things we prepare for good times and we prepare for bad times and pretty much all that preparation turns out to be useless there's no this there's none of that works yet maybe we should prepare for things after they weeks after i die my boss said ok well i'll take your death to be your two week notice well you know what we can help everyone else prepare right now set you up for the whole next week it's going to make your week wonderful because you can prepare to listen to this show again next week it's the same time certainly and you know when anything is getting you down this week you're going to be able to say oh i've got a plan next week you know later on i'm going to get to listen to the tom and doug show and you'll be ready and you'll be prepared and when it happens you'll say oh my god it's happening so we'll see what next i think yes we'll see you next week and joy yourselves and have fun  how the guilt was won dog show reminds you there's never been a wrong use for suffering
