They're loading planes improperly, they should load it from back to front. Ft Woody Harrelson

Summary

Woody Harrelson has strong opinions about airplane boarding. They should load from back to front, he tells Kareem, because the current system is "purely a psychological class-based system." The conversation quickly spirals into a comedy bit about being a "closet proletariat sympathizer" and whether David Blaine counts as a magician for the working class. Harrelson also describes himself as both an anarchist and a capitalist, joking that he's full of dysfunctionality because of his contrasting viewpoints. It's like being bisexual, Kareem offers. A random passerby jumps in with thoughts on pants, arguing that jeans shouldn't be too skinny or too baggy. Just right. Harrelson agrees, declaring the stranger "an expert in pants.

So, what's your take? They're loading planes improperly. They should load it from back to front.

100% agree. It clogs everything up. Put the people in the back in and then let them all stack in after that.

The people in the front are clogging it up. They're all cloggers. Yes. It's purely a psychological class-based system. And as a closet proletariat, I want to encourage the—

Closet a closet. You know, you load from—I can't be a closet prolet. I'm a closet proletariat sympathizer. The people's champ, a closet. No, no, you're a public proletariat sympathizer.

Okay, now I am. You stand with the proletariat.

Yeah. You know, I didn't know what that word meant for a long time.

You know, the uh, the working class. It has something to do with magic, right?

Oh, magic. Yeah, like David Blaine.

David Blaine, one of my best friends. He was a magician for the proletarian.

He's a people's magician. Yeah, he's part of the proletarian. [laughter]

You're sticking with this proletariat thing. It was sticky in your vocabulary, right? You've been going to be saying this all day. I've read that you've described yourself—self-described anarchist.

I am an anarchist as an anarchist, anti-government. I mean, do you see government working effectively ever? I mean, it's very rare.

So, when did you become an anarchist? I mean, I'm not hardcore about these things like I'm total proletariat, but I'm total capitalists at the same time. In a sense, within me is a lot of dysfunctionality because uh, contrasting viewpoints—

But that's okay. It's okay to be both. Thank you.

It's like being bisexual. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. [laughter]

Excuse me. You want to get interviewed? Yeah. What's your take?

So, what's your take? People should stop wearing like skinny jeans that are too, too tight on them.

100% agree. I agree. [laughter] Not too skinny like leggings, but like a little bit of bagginess. You know what I mean?

100%. I'm big on the baggy.

I also believe people's pants shouldn't be too baggy. Like it needs to just be in the per—like if it's too baggy, it's going to make you look short, but if it's too skinny, it's going to make like your legs look all weird. You know what I mean? That's a very good take. This man is an expert in pants.
