Here, Tony Gilroy is asked yet again whether he actually likes Star Wars. To what I'm sure is all of our shock and surprise, he stumbles through an entire minute-long answer without once indicating that he likes any Star Wars other than Andor, the show he made. Gilroy: "I...

Rick Rubin tells Andrew Huberman how he deals with creative or writer’s block. He treats his work like a diary entry (and doesn’t worry about internal or external judgment): ➡️ “What's the cause of the block? The block is usually something that's either personal ("I'm not good enough") or it can be a confidence issue ("I don't have anything to say") or it could be...thinking about someone else ("nobody's going to like what I make"). Do you know what I'm saying? So, it's either fear of self-judgment or external judgment. If you're making something with a freedom of "this is something I'm making for myself for now", that is all [you have to do]. It is a diary entry. Everything I make is a diary entry. The beauty of a diary entry is that I can write my diary entry and you can't tell me that my diary entry wasn't good enough. Or that [the diary entry] is not what I experienced. Of course it's what I experienced: I'm writing a personal diary for myself and no one else can judge if it is my experience of my life. Everything we make can be that: a personal reflection of who we are in that moment of time. It doesn't have to be the greatest you could ever do. It doesn't have to have any expectation that it's going to change the world. It doesn't have to sell a certain number of copies for any reason. It doesn't have any of those things at all. It is "I'm making this thing for me and I want to do it to the best of my ability and to where I feel good about it". [The work] is honest of where I'm at and if you're living in this world of just being honest to where you're at, there's nothing blocking you. There are no blocks. The blocks are all based on dealing with a different force or a different perception that is made up.” ⬅️

Mel Brooks on the only condition George Lucas imposed on Brooks before allowing him to make the satire on "Star Wars" (1977): "Spaceballs" (1987): "The same way I called Alfred Hitchcock to get his blessings on 'High Anxiety' (1977), I sent the 'Spaceballs' script to 'Star Wars' (1977) creator George Lucas. If not to get his blessing, then certainly to give him a heads-up on what I was doing vis-à-vis Star Wars. He was kind enough to read it and respond. He said he had seen 'Blazing Saddles' (1974) and 'Young Frankenstein' (1974) and was a big fan. He enjoyed the script, and only had one real caveat for me: no action figures. He explained that if I made toys of my Spaceballs characters they would look a lot like Star Wars action figures. And that would be a no-no for his lawyers and his studio’s business affairs department. So he gave his blessing to make my funny satiric takeoff of Star Wars as long as I promised that we would not sell any action figures. I said, “You’re absolutely right.” And that was one of the rules we didn’t break. So even though in the movie itself we have Dark Helmet playing with action figures… we never sold any. The exchange with George Lucas also triggered a beloved comedy scene in which a character that I played, Yogurt, a takeoff on Yoda, responds to Lone Starr’s question of “What is this place? What is it that you do here?” with a whole exposé of the movie business. So even though we didn’t actually do any commercial merchandising, we still had a lot of fun with the scene. And over the years Spaceballs movie fans have sent me more than one mockup of “Spaceballs: The Breakfast Cereal.”" ("Mel Brooks on the Making of Spaceballs", Mel Brooks, Literary Hub, 2021)

A man worth $2 million refuses to get married without a prenup. His girlfriend says it makes her feel like he’s already planning for divorce. Now they’re questioning whether they should get married at all. Caller: My boyfriend and I have been dating for about a year, so we're speaking about marriage. And he had mentioned that he would never get married without a prenup. I've always been against the idea of a prenup. I do understand the logic behind them, and he's worth a lot more than I am financially. So, I just feel like if a man says that he won't get married without a prenup, it makes me feel like it's an unsafe marriage for me to enter into because he's planning for divorce basically or preparing for it if that makes sense. Host: Have you shared that with him? those exact words Caller: Yes Host: How did he respond? Caller: Well, he said that he feels like I'm being ungrateful because he would be willing to, you know, take on me and my two children and I shouldn't question him. Host: So, this is an act of charity for him and you shouldn’t ask for no more. He's already doing the most by letting you into his life. Caller: Well, i was pretty surprised when he said that and it was a little upsetting. I understand that money is important obviously but there are things that I value more than money. And there's no amount of money that would be worth a divorce to me or like dragging my children through a failed marriage and all of that. Host: Is this second marriage for both of you or one of you? Caller: It's a second marriage for me, And this is his first marriage. He's never been married. He has no children. Host: So how much more is he worth than you? Caller: I don't know exactly. The number that he gave me was two million. like between retirement and assets, savings, all of that. He says it wouldn't be fair if we were to get divorced. It wouldn't be fair for me to get half of everything he's worked for. And I understand the And I'm not saying I want half of everything. I'm saying i don't want to go into this marriage talking about divorce because I'm 36 years old and if I'm going to be getting divorced in 5 years, I'd rather not get married. Host: I think you guys are just missing each other communication wise and he has his reasons and you have your reasons and neither of you are getting to the root of it and understanding each other. Co-Host: it’s not necessarily wrong, for in his sake. I'm not going to say that he is wrong. But where I do think he's wrong and what what I get the ick about is the way he's responding to you in it and it makes you feel like he's valuing his money over you and that's how it feels.
