The Art of Living a Courageous Life - Matthew McConaughey (4K)

So I mentioned to you that this is Episode 1000.

Yeah.

It's been seven and a half years. Uh, we just crossed a billion views the other day as well.

Congrats, man.

And as a little surprise to you, we wanted to take you back to an environment that you probably know at least a little bit well.

Ah, Cooper's place, Alberta, Canada, where we shot it. We planted, production planted all those cornfields too. They were as far as the eye could see. And this is the road Cooper drives up on the way out, and that's that Hans Zimmer countdown, 10, 9, 8, leaving children to follow dream, tsh, lift off.

I love how quick that is, that transition from-

Yeah.

... from leaving to going.

Yeah.

I think that's so cool.

Yeah. I think it was, you know, Chris's version of tying the human drama of what would you do, a father leaving children to go do what they know they were meant to do-

Mm-hmm.

... and leave this earth, and then from there on time changes and, yeah. At the end of this shoot, when it was wrapped and it was clear we had no more shots, no more scenes on this location, my family and I were in my Airstream on the set, it's where we lived, we got, uh, um, at the edge of base camp, we turned our Airstream to face out to the mountains, and right behind us is your medical and your food, whatever you need from production, but we stayed extra few days and just hiked it and stuff, and one of the things that was fun is I let my son, probably, I don't know what Levi was, seven, eight at the time. We got in my truck and I let him drive through these cornfields as fast as he wanted to.

He replicated the...

Just, and he was going 360 all around 'cause I checked, I was like, e- they go, "No-"

Nothing to hit.

"... it's for as far as you can see."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

"It's just like the salt flats. Hit it." And then I've got some video of that and some pictures. It was top. Yeah.

Unreal. Why do you say life rhymes?

I think Mark Twain said that first, didn't he? A version of that? History rhymes. Um, seems for as much as we go our generation's so different than the last one, and there's never been anything like this, the ebbs and the flows, the debits and the assets, and for every new technology, an old, there's a debit in an old culture and, uh, it seems like it always is right there somewhat equalized and balanced. And then, then there's a rhyme in that, that sort of ecclesiastical, you know? There's a time for everything, and for everything you reap that what you'll sow. There's a time to kill, there's a time to live. There's a time to plant, there's a time to gather. There's a time to spread. It's very Emersonian too, you know? And, uh, for every new technology, we lose an old culture, you know, and these, these things that we think are contradictory, heaven and hell, hate and love, that we think are like this, an imbalance for the truth of them, I think is (whistles) in that third eye where they overlap, and they all do overlap. They all sort of balance themselves out, and I don't know how much new under the sun we actually are doing. I think we call it different names. I think we change the labels. I think you get some things that are extra strength and some things that are unleaded.
