Hearing from Geoff, who I know the guys look up to as a comedian, that comedy is not his passion but just something he happens to be good at doing that pays the bills is super interesting. You did a great job bringing to light that perspective with your questions.
This was a fantastic conversation, maybe the best with Geoff that I've seen on youtube. I really appreciated Lucas being sincere and being deep and personal in his line of questioning. I liked that Lucas mentioned that Geoff is hard to get to know, and keeps people at a certain distance and they both discussed that. Lucas, I don't think Geoff is autistic, but I do think he is an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). If you're unaware of what that is, look into it. It's someone who feels things very deeply, and has to keep people and things at a certain cynical distance as a self-preservation technique. These people are prone to depression, they find the cruelties and hypocrisies of the world almost too much to bear, and they often hold other people and themselves to high moral standards (which accounts for the noble way that Geoff is willing to burn his career to say what he really thinks).
I recently learned that Slovakia considers itself an ethnostate. It literally says "like Israel" on their Wikipedia. Also that they "institutionalised the dominace of an ethnic group". I didn't even know that Slovaks were an ethnic group, considering rhat they've only been a country since the 90s, but I guess that was one of the reasons for that. You know, regarding your comment about ethnostates as a concept being generally seen as negative by everyone. I think this also shocked me so much because my relationship to patriotism as a German (shout out to everyone else from the parts of the world Lucas wouldn't care about if they disappeared) is pretty different than it would be in the US, so it's harder for me to follow that comparison in logic.
"College isn't really that hard" is an interesting statement. I feel like you could probably discuss that idea for a whole episode. I don't know if it would be funny, but I believe you could do it.
I guess the heaven and hell dichotomy hinges on the assumption that there's one sole thing that makes or breaks you as a human. Usually belief. Other cosmetologies like ancient Egyptian mythology or even ancient Roman and Greek concepts of afterlife, which I think are way more nuanced with partial reincarnation and more levels and areas of the underworld, seem more personal actions and decisions heavy. Maybe because they are polytheistic and therefore faith itself and belief in "God" is more varied and nuanced. Although I guess the assumption still stands that belief in a god would lead to a more moral and good life in service of humanity and therefore a better afterlife. There is, I suppose, ideally positivity both in the acts themselves and in the reward after death. Which means that the life should not be a sacrifice to the afterlife because being good for others is good for yourself. Or maybe that's the Christian influence where Jesus was meant to be the last sacrifice. Or the worldly atheist influence of being good for this life. I think that being part of a church, if it actually reflects your beliefs, gives you the opportunity to do that good for yourself and for others and get those benefits in life. It also sounds like a good way to get that feeling through community.
When Geoff mocked Matt Rife with the "'I'm being so open talking about how I'm a millionaire.' Wow, cool, that's so brave! That's kind of lame", that must have felt at least a little personal to Lucas, right?

That sounds like a great life swap movie, Lucas. Also like your characters would definitely fall in love.

No one was asking for that movie 30 years later.
