that it's bad for me

to play a game that's

very complicated

right now

because I smoked tons of--

ripped so much.

I had a bong and I feel

like it's not my preference

to play a game.

And I'm not gonna be able

to get there with you.

We could play the very,

very complicated game

that could last

six to seven hours

with a couple of strangers

who are all f***ed up on pot,

or we could

go into the hot tub.

I'll go in the hot tub!

The lady

wants the hot tub.

- Hot tub.

- The gentleman

wants a hot tub.

- Joshy?

- Yeah, well--

great. Hot tub time.

Here, I'll just

take this from you.

Greg:

Yeah, take it.

I don't want it.

- Eric:
All right, man.

- Jodi:
We're ready

for bubbles.

- Oh! Okay.

- Gee, man.

- Oh, my god.

- There's a slight problem

with the hot tub.

It is not

currently hot.

- Oh.

- There's steam

coming out of it.

Well, that's just

because the water

is warmer than the air.

All right, well, let's

f***ing party inside.

Uh, not so fast.

Got a satellite view of

the entire neighborhood here.

Found the appropriate

neighbors' hot tubs,

and I think I found

our spot right here.

Are you talking

about to sneak in?

Uh, yes, we're gonna do

a little sneaking.

And we're gonna do

a little dip,

- then we'll do

a little dash.

- And it's perfect too.

It's perfect 'cause

there's none of those

security stickers

on any of the gates,

so we'll get in fine.

- Oh, ho!

- I say let's do it, man.

Ojai is communal hot tubs.

My hot tub is your hot tub.

To the hot tub!

Oh, okay,

we're going right now.

Adam, don't you

wanna come in?

No, it's not my thing.

You just snuck in

to sit here?

Yeah, well,

i wanna be around people

to hang out.

But, you know,

I'll let them have their fun.

It's not really for me.

I'm sorry I didn't

wanna do your game.

That's fine.

You know, no one

wants to do it,

so, it's, you know,

you're just part

of the gang.

Yeah, well, I know

I'm a stranger

who's, like, on drugs

and drunk and doesn't

have any pants on,

but I'm wishing you

the best.

- I hope you're okay.

- I guess you're the first

of many new

pantsless women

i will soon meet.

- Ari:
Hey, Jodi?

- Sure. Yeah.

- No, it's okay.

I know you wanna go in.

- I'm sorry.

You know, I do have,

like, some okay friends.

I have a friend that

i could introduce you to

tomorrow if you're interested.

She's nice and fun.

She's not that nice,

but she's pretty fun.

Yeah? Does she like

desperate, broken men

with nothing to offer?

Most American women

like that kind of thing.

- Eric:
Welcome

to the hot tub.

- Oh!

Eric:

Welcome to

the hot tub, Jodi!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You guys hear that?

What?

Oh, it's probably

the fondas.

They wanna join us

in the tub.

- Hey, Jodi?

- What?

Do you have

any words about joining

the greater tub community?

Cool, fun, new,

a surprise.

Tonight, the evening.

I love it,

strangers, scared.

- I'm really happy.

- Yay, with friends!

Adam, let's play

your board game

in the hot tub.

Well, that's

obviously impossible.

Hey, Adam,

come in here, man.

- All:
Adam.

- Adam, come on, buddy.

- Jodi:
He doesn't want to.

- Greg:
Ari? Ari?

Yeah?

My sister's beautiful,

and she's a dental

hygienist,

so she has

her own money.

That's great.

- Wait, why did you say that?

You guys heard that,

right?

Did you guys--

am I the only one

who heard that?

- I did hear that.

- It's probably, like,

the f***ing--

- what the f*** is that?

- Like a dog or whatever.

Greg:
There is

a f***ing murderer

in that bush, man.

- Eric:
It's not a murderer.

- Hey.

It's Billy Baldwin.

Ari:
It's f***ing

Laura dern's chocolate lab

- sneaking around.

- Hey.

No, dude,

I'm serious, man.

I'm f***ing serious.

- What?

- I'm out of--

I'm getting out.

- If it's a f***ing--

- all right, guys.

Joshua's weekend.

- Hey, Ari, Ari?

- Whoa, we gotta go

with Joshua.

- We need to talk later.

- Yeah.

- Just a little bit.

- Yeah, no, no, no.

I don't need to be

up all night talking--

- talking about

i don't know.

- Whatever, no, no, no.

Jodi:

I just met

a bunch of strangers

- and I talk their ear off

all night and, uh--

- and then I just...

- But I totally understand

what you were saying before

about backpack style hip-hop.

I think that that

is a distinction

of a kind of hip-hop

that does not get

mentioned that much.

'Cause you're, like,

talib kweli,

black star,

tribe called quest,

de la soul.

I really think

that hip-hop's, like,

a very important part

of our culture.

- Yes, agree 100%.

- Jodi:
But haven't you

both also,

like, been to tanglewood

to see James Taylor?

- Whoa, that's funky!

- You know what's

the funkiest?

This is the funkiest

guy we know!

Dude, dude, dude.

Blow that in my mouth.

Come on, man.

It's really funny.

Blow it

in my mouth, man.

- Do it, do it.

- Come on. Blow it.

- Wow!

- Yeah! You guys

are my band!

Here's your trumpet!

So when you think about

the basic paradoxes,

you know, one of them,

the bootstrap paradox,

dictates that

no matter what happens

when you go back in time,

no matter what information

you take with you,

it's always been there.

So if you go back,

say, to yesterday

to give yourself

a great stock tip,

that means that

there was never

a version of reality

where you didn't

receive that.

- This is f***ing fantastic.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Amazing.

So f***ing cool.

- The other version of that--

thanks, man.

The other version of that

is the grandfather

paradox,

which means that no matter

what happens when you go back,

it's always a version

of what was going to happen.

So if you go back

and your grandfather dies,

that doesn't prevent you

from being born.

That just means

that something else

is going to have to happen

and it always did

and you would find out

that who you thought

was your grandfather

wasn't actually

your grandfather.

But what about

Marty mcfly?

He goes back

and he takes away

and he starts

disappearing.

What you're describing

is a depiction

of time travel in,

you know, pop culture

fiction.

What I'm talking about

is science.

Oh, you're talking about

something that's real.

Um, yes, I am.

Uh, Ari, you had

a question?

Adam, if time travel

existed,

don't you think

that we would

know about it

because someone would have

come back in time

to make us aware?

Excellent point.

We're living in what's

called the Alpha timeline.

And we haven't yet arrived

at the momentous event

at which

everything changes

as we know it.

So...

If that's

the Alpha timeline,

- are we over here now?

Can I just quickly

give a quick toast

to how f***ing

interesting that is?

- Yes.

- And what a f***ing cool

group of people

that Joshua

has put together

here tonight

for a good, solid

f***ing late-night hang?

Greg:

Cheers to that.

Yeah, any--

whatever you got.

- Hey, hey, there you go.

- Totally.

- There you go.

That's the weirdest way

to wake up.
