What a wonderful conversation! Thank you for posting this!

So proud to have been in the audience for this event. I muscled my way past everyone else to catch Penn before he left. Wonderful guy.

Hysterical, intelligent, and humanist. I'll always have time for Penn Jillette.

Great conversation!

Two of the most sparkling gems in showbiz in the same room

Two of the funniest people alive, perfect mix of dark humor and some real talk about deep issues.

Wonderful conversation! Penn has the most funny and insightful commentary and stories, and Julia is great, as always. He talks about current libertarianism (explains why he's not a libertarian anymore, which is beautifully told), about Donald Trump, about his family's history with religion, and his latest creative project. I love hearing from these fantastic people! ❤️

We called it Maple taffy and no Styrofoam, nor twigs or shit in the snow!, straight into a tin pan filled with snow, yes plain doughnuts too!

I tried listening to this, but Julia's mic is just too loud. I'm listening to Penn's voice, more mellow and subdued, then Julia's very sharp laugh comes screaming over the audio. Too much.

Uhh.. Turn your speaker down?

[@pcbacklash_3261]

@@dannytangeloribaldreviews6310 Did you not see me describe Penn's voice? I turn the speaker down, I can no longer hear him! This is a simple audio mixing fix, which should have been perfected BEFORE the interview. Any amateur knows that.

I don't want to die, only because I'm going to miss riding on the first Starship Enterprise.

@@PartlySunny74 Thanks for the cool history lesson. Fixed.

Pulp Fiction was a great movie up until the last 5 minutes when I saw her and she was drop dead gorgeous !!!!

Maybe you could make several screen plays, where the dice come up different?

[@StarTexaspets]

Just read penns autobiography. Cool dude

Trump story: Penn clearly never considered that Trump may have just been paying him a compliment and didn’t mean it literally.

Unitarian churches help with the community vs. tribalism thing.

Maybe community vs tribe

Incentives are not only morally better that mandates, but they are 90% more effective.

Teller recover soon. Penn I used to love stage magic then lost interest. With one notable exception I love card magic 🎩! Love sleight of hand with a deck of cards. I double cheat and use a stripper deck as I'm lazy. Audience don't know. Best guys are mechanics not magicians those guys can manipulate a deck of cards. Its not relevant to this discussion. Niche subject.
