Good evening and welcome back to **The Neverending Standup.** I’m your host, @brandt, and I’d just like to say, _hello_, and _good evening_. And so I will say those things now. **Hello!** **Good evening!** Excellent. I said the things I said I’d like to say. I did it! I accomplished something! _See how easy it is to accomplish things when you really put your mind to it?_ ### You can do _anything!!_ ### Go get ‘im, tiger!!
You’ve got this, tiger! You can do it! Focus! Decide! Believe in yourself! Give it your all, and you will surely succeed! Now you go _get_ that boar, tiger!! **Go get ‘im, tiger!!** Boar! You’ve _got_ this! Escape from that tiger! Don’t you let that tiger get you! You can do _anything!!_ Focus! Decide! Believe in yourself! Give it your all, and you will surely succeed! Now you go _get away from_ that tiger, boar!! **Go get away from ‘im, boar!!** **All right!** **Yeah!** **Where was I going with this!** Oh yeah, where I was going was, I was going to talk about yesterday, and the thing I threatened to accomplish, but did not accomplish. Yesterday, [I threatened to shut down this entire show](https://steemit.com/life/@brandt/i-thought-about-going-to-hell-but-then-my-car-broke-down-and-after-replacing-the-alternator-i-couldn-t-afford-the-trip-to-hell) because the madman living inside my mind, and the madman living inside _his_ mind, both voted against the idea of me blowing our collective brains out, for some idiotic reason. As you can see, though, the show is still up and running. That’s because, after a long night of me drinking a lot, and not sleeping a lot, and waving my 3D-printed pistol around a lot, and screaming like a madman _at_ the madmen a lot, they finally agreed to put the suicide option back on the table, for the sake of this show. That’s right, ### the suicide option is back on the table,
and so the show is still up and running. **The show is still up and running!** Running, like a tiger chasing a boar, or like a boar fleeing from a tiger, or both. Or neither. Not that it matters, because regardless of who wins that race, regardless of who kills who, or what eats what, everything always dies in the end, including the power of positive thinking. _Especially_ the power of positive thinking. > Wow @brandt, that got dark really fa— **Shut your fuckin’ face, madman.** … … ### Everything dies.
I’m going to die, the madmen inside my mind are going to die, that boar’s gonna die, and that tiger’s gonna die, too. We spend our entire lives running from the reality that we are going to die. We [invent religions](https://steemit.com/humor/@brandt/free-doom-all-of-the-doom-in-this-post-is-100-free-register-now-to-claim-your-free-doom) to escape from that reality. _Fake and stupid._ We dream up philosophies to escape from that reality. _Also fake, and also stupid, but on a much more intelligent level._ We distract ourselves every day by living fake lives and wasting time on stupid things, to escape from that reality. _Admirably fake, and impressively stupid._ You wanna know about a _real_ escape from reality? I’ve got a _real_ escape from reality for you. **Let me tell you,** about a _real_ escape from reality! It’s right here in front of you! It’s been right here in front of you, right in front of you this whole time, [ever since I came back to Steemit 16 days ago](https://steemit.com/showcase-sunday/@brandt/showcase-sunday-i-d-like-to-apologize-in-advance-for-the-major-role-i-m-going-to-play-in-the-end-of-the-world-tomorrow)! And I’ve been talking about it nearly every day since then! Including yesterday! _Especially_ yesterday! Remember how I talked about how [we’ve all been involuntarily fucked into existence](https://steemit.com/humor/@brandt/welcome-to-the-show-please-note-no-children-were-harmed-during-the-production-of-this-content)? Well, there’s a way out of that involuntarily fucked-ness! You’ve got an escape! Here’s your escape: **_Go race a tiger!_** ### It will kill you, ## and then you’ll be done running from the reality that you’re gonna die, FOREVER!
