 This is our stupid reactions. This is called Be Stupid. I can tell you right now. This is gonna be a win-win. I can tell you already. I support the speech. Hey, welcome back to our Stupid Reactions Edits. I'm Corbin. This with me as always is this stupid idiot named Rick. I love my stupidity. Please follow us on Instagram. And today we'll be reacting to a very long video, but a very, very, very requested video. It's here Doss's Nox College speech called Be Stupid. We reacted to some of his stand-up on Conan. I'll link that right here. But this one was the most requested. And I think it went viral a couple months back. A while back. I don't think I watched it. And I'm glad we haven't seen it yet because this is appropriate for our channel. And it's about 20 minutes long. So pull up a chair. Strap in! Let us know if you make it to the end. Plug in your charger. Here we go. But apart from my first love, I also write jokes. Now here's how you write a joke. You take a fact, a situation or a person and you ask yourself a question. Just any question. What if? How about? Could they? What if? Why don't? And then you add one stupid thing. That's it. That's all your joke is. One stupid thing. You add it and you have a joke. Now, when you spend your whole life like me looking to write down one stupid thing, you often find yourself doing it. And that's what I came here to talk to you about tonight. Looking for and doing just one stupid thing. Because if you really look around, it's very easy to find. Let's begin with today. This whole ceremony is stupid. It is. It is stupid. We are in the heat dressed like obese silkworms. We are wearing hats that you do not have the facial structure to carry. Like none of you have jaw lines. Most of you won't do much corn in your diet. The comedian is standing where Lincoln and Obama and Clinton and most importantly, Eva Longoria won. At the end of this, I get to call myself Dr. Das. Making me the only Indian doctor in the world with zero credibility. I'm stupid. This is stupid. You're stupid. God, you're so stupid. And that's why this is so wonderful. That's my message to you today. Be stupid just once really often. Because when you embrace the stupidity in your life, you really live. The dictionary defines stupidity as a person or situation that showcases a lack of common sense. I submit to you that common sense is overrated. And much worse than that, it's common. Nice. Did you like that? I like that. That's like my Thug Life moment in the speech. I feel like when the YouTube clips come out, it'll be like me saying, it's common. I'm sorry, you deserve better. I'm sorry. So here's the question. How do you be stupid by doing what we just did by taking 20 seconds before you enter a situation to consider what is ridiculous about it and laughing and letting that courage, because that's all laughter, is its courage leading you to do one stupid thing. Now, I know what you're thinking. Veeth, this doesn't sound realistic, but I submit to you that neither is life. Life is not realistic. Life is bold and painful and ecstatic and overwhelming. Why are you trying to cope with that with tepid emotions in your pocket? You're a beast. Be dramatic, be bold, but first, be stupid. And start really small. Be stupid in meetings. Most of your life from now on will be spent in meetings. Meetings, guys, are where people pretend to be interested in other people because they're actually interested in things. Take a second before you go into these meetings and think about how ridiculous they are. Then go in there and say the one thing that you are not supposed to say. Best case scenario, you win them over. Worst case scenario, you are fired, jobless, homeless, but still memorable. I promise you, no one remembers the people who agreed with them. If a world Indian man with spectacles turned around one day and said, hey, we should be an independent country, and everybody around him just went, eh, all right. He'd just be known as Mohan Das. But because people disagreed with him and he had to fight, he's now known as Mahatma Gandhi. Great point. Be stupid in love. Get your heart broken. Shoot for way above your league. Say outrageously romantic things. Propose after a week. Go big, go home, probably alone. But the worst thing that could happen is what? You get a reputation as somebody who is mushy or clingy or needy. And as you get older, you realize those words actually mean generous and bold and needy. I once wrote down 101 reasons why I loved a girl and I stood in her garden and yelled them to her window like an angry stalker Romeo. That's all. Just, I love the world, the brown light hits your eyes. And by 0.24 that girl told me she was seeing somebody else. It didn't work out, but I promise you this. Any time in that life, in that girl's life that she sees a list, be it grocery or to-do, she's gonna think, hey, this was bigger. Probably the only situation in her life where she might think that. Same stupid emails. I'm serious. Enger emails with things like yours hungry. And my favorite XOXO dollar dollar hash hash pound pound and that you with the colon above it that makes it look like you hit your keyboard really angrily or typed in German. I like to use abbreviations that people can't understand. I end my emails with ha ha ha ha ha, L-O-M. Just to leave people wondering. Laugh out mouth. They'll either love your emails or hate them and show them to everybody but either way they will be looking forward to them. Every day do one stupid thing with your body. Just one. No matter how your body ends up looking. There are just phases in your life that are dictated by how lonely you are, what magazines you are reading and whatever the Kardashians are doing. But I'm saying jump for no reason. Dance badly. Never underestimate the power of a pelvic thrust in a public place. Play with your body. Play with your body. It will save your heart when you are losing your mind. I swear to God once a week I come out of the shower with nothing but a towel on and I make direct eye contact with my wife and I say yes I am. And then I drop the towel and sing hey I'm free. As free as the wind blows. And then I prance around the room naked like a lion in Africa. I'm five foot eight. I have no muscles. My body looks like it was designed in Ikea. Ha ha ha ha. If my wife ever finds herself in the presence of another naked man, hey he may be the flavor of the month but I'm the king of the jungle baby. Ha ha ha ha. Come on baby. If an old people regret the push ups they didn't do, the keto they didn't follow. No they regret the puddles they didn't jump in. The lifts they didn't fart in. The trees they didn't fall out of. The pegs they didn't dive into. There's wisdom in your mind and truth in your heart but God there's beats in your ass and fun in your crotch and natural hands. I say find it every day. He's breaking awesome. And in success. On the day you lose all of your money buy yourself an expensive glass of champagne. On the day you become a millionaire go out and have a 79 cent cheeseburger. Show yourself and the universe that this moment does not own you. You own this moment. Yeah. Yeah that's worth applause. He's fantastic. Yeah I prefer his voice to yours so shut up. This stupid friendship. Your friendships are going to change at 4 p.m. today. Crap. You're going to lose people that you are completely yourselves with and run into this world of adults. These adults that you will talk about paying bills and having kids with. But I say to you you need to retain these people who you talk about splitting bills and making kids with. Never outgrow these people. Keep them in your life. Do what it takes. Show up at 4 a.m. Peed up the douchebag boyfriend. Open up your couch even though everybody tells you to outgrow them don't because outgrowing them means growing up and what's the fun in that. Some of my best friends we don't meet each other more than once a year but there's not a thing I wouldn't do a flight I wouldn't take if I got that phone call. I met them here at this college they are sitting over there we smoked cigarettes over there for 4 years and we will be at Cherry Street later tonight. We had no money buy some old people a drink please. Be a stupid person in the bedroom I'm not saying put yourself at risk but once you're in the bedroom if you're not laughing that's just not good sex. If you're laughing too much or just one of you is laughing also not good sex. My personal strategy don't worry about performing worry about amusing. Tell a joke. Ask a question. Try something. Try something new Apologize when it doesn't happen. Admit that you were trying something tell a joke. Ask a question. Repeat. Be stupid in sickness. Write your will in testament when you have the common cold be dramatic about that shit. You might learn something about yourself like who you actually wanted your bedside when that moment comes. Most of you God willing are going to have long and healthy lives but when your body starts to fail you these stupid people around you suffer less. My grandfather was the greatest man I ever met on his 90th birthday when his entire family gathered around the pay tribute to him 300-400 of us in the middle of the third speech my grandfather looked at me and went shut it down he wasn't pissed off there was an ice cream station 200 meters to his right he picked a vanilla ice cream over the celebration of his own legacy now that's a god damn legacy be stupid in your grief you're going to lose people and you do them a huge disservice if you don't laugh at them when they are gone be stupid in arguments you're going to argue with people about remote controls and about home delivery and what to name your children Saibah if you name your children after fruits or location that is child abuse please stop but in those arguments you will say many many things that you regret hopefully if you throw one stupid thing in there if you're lucky that's all you will remember about that argument when my wife yells at me I like to sing songs that's what I do in fights she's yelling I'm like let it go let it go it was way before we met and in those moments my wife looks at me like Ma Anand Sheila looks at people from Oregon but I don't care because in that moment I'm doing a violin solo and I need some time speaking of which always have music in your ears you're the star of your own movie please pick the soundtrack and if your soundtrack doesn't include one stupid uncool song that makes you feel awesome you are not having enough fun for me are you going to be my girl by jet and firework by Katy Perry I do not know what ha ha ha is or why it shoots across the ska ska ska but it makes me feel awesome be stupid with your politics because your politics are already undoing you in that department that's true whether you are red, white, blue, right or left you know more about politics than any generation before you the question is can you do more how much a leader sticks around is no longer a testament to his abilities it is a testament to your tolerance that's how long the leader stays great line that's so true so how much can you take and what are you willing to do are you stupid enough to take the day off to join the march empty your account for the underdog candidate stand not with, not alongside but in front of somebody who is not your kind because they happen to be in danger be stupid with your social media because I have to tell you that validation isn't real be careful you don't have to broadcast fantastic lives that you want actually living that's absolutely right what people think about you is none of your business don't pollute your moments with other people's opinions good applause for that think about this moment that you are in right now the sun is in your face you are hungover there is sweat dripping into your ass crack I am going to decipher what the Indian accent is saying this is a real moment do you really leave a thumbs up on Facebook to make you think that this moment happened come on I am not saying don't tweet, don't Instagram, don't Facebook I am just saying when you do do it without a filter with a funny face and never ever ever read the comments never read the comments when you are reading the comments there right that's right that's right right to the comments okay when you are replying to the comments please do not be condescending and defend yourself do not feed the troll that's all I have to say great statement, don't feed the troll when you are feeding the troll all I have to do is agree with the troll right up top and then disagree with them and drop the mic it confuses them, what I like to go is yes I know my face looks tired and haggard I woke up fresh in the morning but then I read your bio twice yes I know I've put on a little weight it's all that money I've been making you'll find out someday hashtag the struggle is real oh yes I know my last movie flopped much like your mom did never mind please stupid with your money please you're going to lose it all anyway governments change businesses die, economies crash but if you want that one thing for yourself that one stupid thing that bedazzled tesla that monogram pitbull that 1923 iphone I think you should have it I spent my whole life not spending my money my bankers used to come to me everyday and they were like Mr. Das you have all this money you need to make your money work for you so you need to circulate all of your money and I was like no because this money was circulating it was mine you know how many big jokes I had to write to stop this money from circulating and I still lost all of my money what's the worst that could happen you lose your cash you go broke and you end up feeling like you do right now you look pretty happy to me and you guys are financially screwed right now you are bankrupt you gave this college $200,000 they didn't even give you a tent ladies and gentlemen so spend on that one stupid thing for yourself except bitcoin because that shit isn't real be stupid with your ambition sure you want to be a billionaire CEO bottle service but is there one stupid thing that you want to do do you want to learn to roll sushi do crab maga be a jazz drummer you are never too old to learn a skill or a hobby you are just too old to be good at it but I promise you if you take up one of these stupid things you would work harder and be much more fulfilled by it taking the escalator to the higher office is very very easy but playing the intro to stairway to heaven that shit is hard I don't have kids but I say be stupid with family nobody has perfect childhoods remember that including the kids you are about to have so forgive your parents love your parents one more when you are done teaching them what Alexa is and paying the bills and putting their teeth by the table to one more stupid thing hit the strip club smoke a joint, play gin, drink gin whatever you like but do it in my house we drink tea we have many cups of tea because more tea means more conversation we have three, four, five cups in a row and then we tell each other it's getting late we wake up in the morning and drink more tea because of how sleepy we are that's my house just wide-eyed, clockwork, orange, pico, darjeeling drinkers, legitimately arms and like shaky conversation my house is a crack house with great conversation everybody will tell you that you can't choose your family that's bullshit you can't pick your family but you can choose them every single day or at the very least you can choose another cup of tea the final thing I'll tell you is if you're an artist be stupid in your art yeah you must where did I learn to do that? here, at Knox College I had never written a joke before in my life it was 2 am I was in Seymour library writing a paper for Roy Anderson's class and something happened I decided I was going to be a comedian I printed 100 posters using the copycode from the career center thank you Terry the show called brown men can't hump it's not offensive we have 1.3 billion people clearly somebody is humping but at 2 am I plastered Seymour and the other buildings with those posters I hadn't written one joke yet but the poster was up which meant I had to come through I wrote myself a month and a half and I wrote 90 minutes of what barely qualified as jokes and the first time I ever did stand up was at Kresge over there for 500 of my friends and from that day onwards I was a comedian that's awesome because of one stupid thing a poster at 2 am a stupid thing a poster that was the answer to the question hey, what if there was a brown George Collin and at the end of my routine there wasn't and there never will be it's been 16 years 16 years later this college asked me to come back here and stand where Lincoln and so many qualified people stood I don't know maybe I'm your one stupid thing so I want to thank you for this honor I'd like to thank Ivan Davidson and Liz Metz and Bob Whitlatch for changing my life in a real tangible way it's time for me to go home now to my home in Slovenia a beautiful country in once communist Europe so before I leave you today I say be stupid just once often unapologetically and deliberately what's the worst thing that could happen somebody will call you stupid somebody will tell you that your whole life is a joke I'm saying you should be that somebody I'm saying you should own it and on the day when your life flashes before your eyes be it on your earth bed or just creepily every day on Instagram you'll be laughing and laughter is courage that's all I know how to tell you I have no wisdom I'm a comedian I just want to see you laugh some more congratulations to the graduating class of 2018 my name is Veitha all the best I don't have a beautiful future yet absolutely I mean his stand up was great brilliant hilarious but so many points made that were just incredibly profound truth deep the mix of hysterically funny and then immediately into deeply profound truth just fantastic love that about just partly the reason I named the channel what I did because we we I don't know how to explain this we are stupid I'm proud of it and proud of it but when I made this channel I asked him I was like hey do you want to make a stupid YouTube channel with me and he's like sure and then we started doing the actions and it just kind of fit that it was called our stupid reaction because I was like I don't know who wants to watch this but this is going to be stupid and I hope you enjoy it because we're stupid so yeah I thought that was great thank you for the recommending it to us it was wonderful I could watch that again and he he deeply resonates the profound things he's saying deeply resonate with both of us and our core values about life man I mean he just he nailed it on the head in so many ways and you know what I'm discovering too that that's not just his take on things I mean the whole be passionate be expressive but remain respectful when you do that that's that's India man that the time that we're getting to know you guys and know your culture and know who you are especially the messages that you send you guys are just freaking beautiful the celebration of life and the color and the passion and the emotion don't take yourself too seriously yeah you don't take yourself it's the combination of you doing you don't on the one hand there's this profound pride for what you do and at the same time you don't say you're better than anybody it's a beautiful man just beautiful so that was great if you made it to the end of this thank you so much give us a like and say hashtag your stupid idiots yes stay stupid stupid nation if you made it to that far please let us know that you did and thank you so much
