To the first question to Brian about what it is to have an eclectic group of fighters and combat vets together for dinner and to find some sort of solidarity in each other company in spite of the diversity, it's wealth. Being rich is the exceptional quality in this broader cultural moment you're talking about.

Love this f'n guy! "Bill Maher is being lectured by a founder of the NWA on words he can't use." So succinct, and with such a richly hilarious subtext.

Loved this conversation! Bryan is a smart and intellectual thinker but “common” enough to bridge the gap between Eric’s genius mind and us “casuals”. Would love to see these two have more conversations. Great episode!

The Curious Sicko True, true

The brilliant thing about the portal is that we can go into it and emerge into episodes with better guests.

This convo needs to be shared far and wide.

I’m 46, I’ve seen a mass rise in the popularity of socialism, communism and anarchy in the last several years, and I don’t think most of that is coming out of academia. I think it’s coming out of the widespread catastrophic deterioration of financial stability disguised by the headline unemployment rate and GDP. For the youngest generations, who bear not all of the financial backwardness, but more than their fair share of it; who don’t remember the last half of the trajectory of the Soviet Union and Communist (in more than name) China, Karl Marx and Socialist thinkers makes sense of their world in the same way they made sense to so many impoverished people at the turn of the 19th C.

It's not that only economic collapse is pushing ppl to this, it's that it makes sense. Look at FDR's new deal; socialism bailed out capitalism. Look at Bolivia under Evo; with socialism he lifted millions out of poverty. All developed nations besides the u.s. have varying degrees of robust social programs and they work. Socialism is not perfect but it works whereas capitalism devours the poor and hoards wealth and power for the rich.

I'm 49 and I've seen the same changes you have. And while I remember the lessons of the Soviet Union, I also recognize the current trend of our current free market. Capitalism cannot go unchecked just like socialism can't. The right thing is a combined system with elements of both that is malleable to future changes. Right now our current two party system is a sham for what is truly happening which is the haves are gathering and hoarding the wealth in the industrialize world and social systems are slowly rising the third world out of its horribleness. At some point there will be a redress of the grieviences.

Best one yet Eric! Bring back Bryan at any time, I love listening to that guy.

This was the sweetest podcast I ever listened to - besides all the obvious characteristics of brilliance. Thank you 🙏 I think that’s the part of transcendence that is often overlooked and you both embodied it here. Absolutely worth listening to and tuning in, if just for a moment, to that feeling of mutual awe and appreciation.

15:45 is one if the best moments on the show as yet. Interesting to see Bryan hone in on Erik’s emotional reaction to the comment regarding how much your love for your children makes you vulnerable.

Who the f*** gives this show a thumbs down? Talks like these are life! So good!

Wish these would come out same time as podcast I listened to this like 3 weeks ago

Wtf, Callen, is truly interesting, and quite well-read and articulate to boot!

I always thought that Bryan Callen was all big talk just to be funny, as talking about "smart" things to sound smart, but after seeing this I actually respect him as an intellectual.

Yes very intellectual. He successfully compares Weinsteins dead twin aunt who knew Mengele at fucking AUSCHWITZ to EXPRESSION OF THES HUMAN CONDITION if he "had to play him, because I am Bryan Callen an actor you know!?!?!" I cant wait until he finds synergies between Helen Keller and his ball wrinkles

I’m ecstatic that you’ve started this! Every episode so far has been a treat, but I especially liked the play of energy between you and Bryan. I also was excited to hear both of you talk about the Sam and Jordan talk. To me there was very little actual disagreement between them.. They were simply both describing two aspects of the larger concept of “truth”. You are one of very few public thinkers who play with the larger concept of truth that Sam and Jordan failed to reconcile in that 1st session. Thank you, and I look forward to the next one!

The portal is quickly becoming one of my favourite podcasts. Excellent episode.

Easily the best episode of the Portal thus far. Terrific back and forth, tons of novel insights, and a wide range of subjects discussed with vigor and passion. Never heard of Bryan Callen before this, but he’s a very impressive person. Definitely going to look up his comedy and also see if he has any other media out there (blogs, interviews etc.). Great job Eric and Bryan!

Listened to the audio version last month. Another great portal discussion between two gentlemen. Thanks for uploading the video version of the podcast.

What an absolute brilliant conversation!
