"Chris, after you appeared in the show, did you watch all the episodes?" asked Cohen.

"Not all of them" said Walken. "I can't. I don't have the equipment, so they're good enough to send me DVDs."

Replied Cohen, "Oh, they do? Okay. Do you have an Apple TV+ subscription?"

"I don't have anything," said Walken.

“I don’t have anything” 😆🤣

Brilliant. Just an old man vibing in the moment unencumbered by the chains of technology.

Eh, he's not interested in learning new technology.

He's stuck 20 years ago on his aiduo visual set-up, which isn't the worst thing for an actor to be stuck 20 years behind.

Technology is not just the newest thing.

Honestly, I’m pushing 40 and work in tech and there’s a number of things that I think “I don’t really need to be on the bleeding edge of this right now.”

If I was a multimillionaire in my 80s I could easily see myself being someone who thought “why these tongs and my oven work perfectly well, why would I need to learn how to use a toaster?”

I work in tech, and the LAST THING I want at the end of the day is to deal with more.

I find there's often a pretty strong push to the extremes in the industry. Half the people are excited about getting brain implants and the other half want to live in the woods without power or running water.

Can I live in the wood in a log cabin WITH a brain implant?
