0:04
i get bothered by the time not so much
0:06
the time itself the people
0:09
bother me for the time people come up to
0:12
me on the street i'm sure you've had
0:13
this happen to you
0:15
people come up to you and say what time
0:16
it is well they might say what time is
0:18
it
0:23
i shouldn't get into these ballots man
0:26
you've had people come up to you and say
0:27
what time is it what time is it
0:30
as if you personally were responsible
0:32
for keeping time
0:34
you know i feel i feel honored first of
0:36
all that they thought i was the man in
0:38
charge
0:39
but i do have to explain you don't see
0:41
official timekeeper on here do you
0:43
i don't have the time of course now do
0:45
you have the time that's another way
0:46
they say do you have the time
0:49
i say uh no i don't believe i do
0:54
i certainly didn't have it this morning
0:57
did you leave it somewhere
0:59
well do you have the time no i don't
1:01
have the time
1:02
i use a little of it like everyone you
1:04
know but i don't have it
1:06
i think i think the navy has it
1:10
in washington isn't that they keep it in
1:11
an observatory that's right
1:13
sure they let out a little of it each
1:15
day not too much they wouldn't want to
1:17
give us too much
1:19
just enough time
1:22
sometimes they'll say do you know what
1:24
time it is
1:26
and i say yes
1:32
i hate to disappoint him but there is no
1:35
time
1:35
there is no time i don't mean there's no
1:37
time i mean there's no time
1:40
when the hell is it we made that whole
1:42
thing up there's no time
1:44
we made it up it's a man-made invention
1:47
time
1:49
there are no numbers up in the sky i've
1:52
looked they're not there
1:55
we made this stiff up when is it when
1:57
the hell is it when are we i ask you
2:00
when are we sometimes we think we know
2:01
where we are
2:03
but we don't really know when we are
2:05
when the hell is it
2:08
all the time zones are different every
2:10
calendar you run across is different
2:12
they'll all give you a different answer
2:13
these are calendars these are made
2:15
to keep track of time everybody's got a
2:18
different one chinese are the way up
2:19
there in the five and six thousands
2:20
hebrew calendars we have in the five and
2:21
six thousand we're open about 1970
2:23
something [ __ ] this ain't a couple of
2:24
weeks these people are off
2:26
this is thousands of goddamn years that
2:28
are missing
2:29
how did they do that
2:33
we don't we don't know when the hell it
2:36
is it could be the middle of last month
2:38
for all we know
2:39
i mean time is so we've got it down so
2:42
perfect that
2:43
every four years we have to stick in an
2:45
extra day
2:47
just to make sure it still works and we
2:50
call it february 29th
2:52
[ __ ] it's march 1st and i know it
2:57
it just feels like march 1st
3:00
you can't keep track of the time what's
3:01
the sense give you an example
3:04
there's a moment coming it's not here
3:06
yet
3:07
it's still on the way it's in the future
3:09
it hasn't arrived here it comes
3:11
here it is oh [ __ ] it's gone
3:17
there's no now there's no now
3:20
everything is the near future or the
3:22
recent past
3:23
but there's no present welcome to the
3:25
present
3:28
gone again it's just so imprecise
3:34
we don't even care to use the minutes
3:36
and seconds and hours that we've been
3:37
given everybody's very vague about the
3:39
time
3:40
he said what time he got i got uh
3:43
i got just after
3:47
just after geez i must be slow i had
3:51
going on
3:56
and where did that imprecision begin why
3:58
is it we're not so sure i know one of
4:00
the clues that happened to me was when
4:01
they started telling me about moments
4:03
when i was a kid they were trying to
4:04
teach me how to tell time and of course
4:06
you can't tell time time tells you what
4:08
they were trying
4:09
they were trying to show me on the big
4:10
hand i said i don't have a big hand
4:12
never mind
4:13
look at the clock and the clock is so
4:14
wonderful there's so much emotion
4:16
attached to a clock face
4:17
i hate digital clocks digital clocks
4:20
robbed me of all the emotional
4:22
experience of the spatial relationships
4:23
on that face
4:24
of the clock isn't it true i mean don't
4:27
you always feel
4:28
that this half hour when it comes down
4:30
from 12
4:31
down to 6 goes by a lot quicker than
4:34
this half hour
4:35
when it has to come up fighting gravity
4:37
all the way
4:38
i know it does go a lot quicker god oh
4:41
my god there
4:43
yeah i'll tell you
4:47
i'll tell you this if i only have a half
4:48
hour to live i want it to be this one
4:50
man
4:51
gonna last just a little bit longer than
4:52
that one in there
4:54
it's vague that's all i'm saying it's
4:56
very vague how we treat time we have all
4:57
these wonderful expressions we say
4:59
now now is an interesting one when now
5:02
you want that now
5:03
yes well would you like to try again
5:08
well sometimes just now just now did you
5:11
hear that what
5:13
just now you
5:16
must mean just then don't you
5:19
yes just then but there goes again when
5:20
now no not that
5:23
pardon me do you have the time when do
5:25
you mean now or when you ask me
5:27
this [ __ ] is moving ruth
5:32
we had a lot of these vague terms right
5:36
away
5:36
immediately at once lickety-split just
5:39
like that
5:40
nothing flat drop of a hat no time at
5:42
all
5:43
as quick as you can say jack robinson
5:45
i'm sure you've done that to people
5:47
i'll be back before you can see jack
5:48
robinson jack robinson huh you're not
5:50
back
5:54
how about a jiffy a jiffy
5:57
or a flash which is quicker
6:01
a jiffy or a flash i think there are two
6:04
flashes in a jiffy myself
6:07
but god knows how many jiffys there are
6:09
in two shakes of a lamb's tail
6:13
and why did they use two shakes of a
6:15
lamb's tail what's wrong with the basic
6:17
unit of measurement
6:18
one shake of a lamb's tail we can do our
6:21
own arithmetic thank you
6:24
belched a little there tried to swallow
6:27
that one
6:29
then we have words like soon
6:32
soon that's a very emotional word
6:35
there's a lot of potential for
6:36
drama and that word soon
6:39
soon soon
6:44
is your mother coming home
6:47
uh-huh when
6:53
soon
6:57
real soon as soon as she can
7:02
sooner than you think that's kind of a
7:04
spooky one
7:06
sooner than i think
7:10
that's a little bit like before you know
7:12
it
7:15
i'll be back boy you know it he did it
7:17
holy christ look at that
7:30
can we go on with these terms that we
7:32
use these vague terms of time one of
7:34
these days
7:36
before long any time now
7:40
well that's true everything's going to
7:42
happen any time now
7:44
any day now that's kind of a snotty one
7:46
any day now hey i'll be giving you that
7:48
five bucks i owe you built
7:49
yeah any day now
7:52
sooner or later now and then once in a
7:55
while from time to time
7:58
in a little while in a little while well
8:01
it'll just be a little while
8:03
that's a wonderful one i just love that
8:05
it sounds so benign
8:07
just a little while couldn't hurt you
8:09
could it you can wait a little while
8:11
it'll only be a little while longer just
8:15
a little while
8:17
that's so different from a short time
8:20
short time sounds almost terminal
8:24
doesn't it you only have
8:28
a short time
8:31
whereas you have a little while
8:34
well i'd rather have a little while in a
8:36
short time
8:38
yeah we got a long ways we measure time
8:40
we got vast distances of time we measure
8:42
people will say things like kingdom come
8:46
i i'm going to be standing here till
8:48
kingdom come
8:50
[ __ ] i don't have that on my watch
8:54
doomsday you say doomsday
8:58
till the cows come home
9:01
well that's an easy one to understand
9:03
that's wrong about dusk isn't it
9:05
if you leave them out overnight they
9:06
burst
9:10
here's a long period of time forever
9:13
some people will tell you guys
9:14
i've been standing on this line forever
9:18
look at this dave this man has been
9:20
standing online
9:22
forever he looks fairly fresh to me
9:29
almost like an eternity people will tell
9:31
you it's it's almost
9:32
like an etern as if they had experience
9:35
with
9:36
eternities now you must have a favorite
9:39
period of time i have some favorites i
9:40
just want to try a few of them on you it
9:42
isn't easy
9:43
uh to select a favorite period of time
9:45
so many of them are attractive but there
9:47
are little
9:48
periods of time that um
9:51
that you might relate to of course the
9:54
most basic
9:55
period of time i feel is five minutes
9:58
that seems to be the one everyone
9:59
chooses
10:00
if they need to think of a period of
10:01
time real quickly they just go five
10:03
minutes just
10:04
five minutes i'll be there in just five
10:05
minutes give me five minutes would you
10:07
please just would you just give me five
10:08
minutes
10:08
were you kidding me i could fix that
10:10
[ __ ] in five minutes
10:12
five minutes that's all most people want
10:15
five minutes a good
10:16
solid nice period of time you can do
10:17
anything for five minutes can't you
10:19
i mean anything even things you really
10:21
hate
10:22
yeah you can probably do it for five
10:24
minutes
10:26
hey let's go talk to ted are you kidding
10:28
ted's an [ __ ]
10:30
look just five minutes
10:34
okay let's give it five
10:37
not ten ten i can't make now you're
10:40
getting into double digits you're
10:41
starting to fool with my head
10:44
time five ten minutes
10:47
15 minutes is popular you hear 15 quite
10:52
a bit but it's
10:52
it's sort of an institutional one it's
10:54
kind of an official time
10:55
period 15 minutes has a touch of
10:58
regulatory
10:59
uh quality to it doesn't it sounds like
11:02
something you're not supposed to do or
11:03
have to do
11:04
for 15 minutes 15 minutes
11:08
i like 20 minutes doesn't that sound
11:12
free
11:13
compared to 15 15 minutes
11:18
20 minutes i'll be back
11:21
in 20 minutes gosh what's he gonna do
