Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.06,0:03:02.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,friends was an experiment in conformity
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.03,0:03:05.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to see if you'd give me a standing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.01,0:03:08.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ovation even though the second half of
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.02,0:03:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my talk was complete gibberish and so
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.08,0:03:12.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you guys actually proved the point,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.02,0:03:15.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Have you ever stood for an applause
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.10,0:03:16.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,simply because everyone else is? You know
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.04,0:03:18.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he's talking about cats and hats and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.09,0:03:21.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stuff like that now it's just like did
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.01,0:03:22.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what he really say merit a standing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.01,0:03:24.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ovation? And he's right,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.08,0:03:26.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if Jason's speech didn't deserve
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.06,0:03:29.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,such an ovation what made this audience
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.08,0:03:31.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stand up to applaud? It all started with
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.05,0:03:33.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,two very enthusiastic audience members
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.01,0:03:34.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we planted in the crowd for some
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.04,0:03:36.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,added peer pressure,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.06,0:03:38.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I started seeing people standing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.01,0:03:40.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up so okay, I'll stand up, There was a
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.08,0:03:44.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,couple people that stood and were like
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.09,0:03:46.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really really enthused about standing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.01,0:03:48.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and everybody else started standing, so I
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.05,0:03:50.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,figured it was definitely my fault, A
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.74,0:03:52.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,standing ovation doesn't happen because
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.04,0:03:54.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everyone in the audience had the idea to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.00,0:03:56.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stand up and applaud at the same time, it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.04,0:03:57.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happens because a few people decided to
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.02,0:03:59.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stand and everyone else just went along
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.07,0:04:01.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with it, so it's not to be judged as
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.00,0:04:02.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uncaring or different, I felt like
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.02,0:04:04.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everybody who is going to be like you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.01,0:04:06.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,didn't get? It was so great, One
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.01,0:04:08.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,incredibly fascinating aspect of mob
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.04,0:04:10.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mentality is how it only takes a few
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.00,0:04:14.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,leaders to get the whole mob to follow,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.05,0:04:17.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, almost the whole mob, Yeah they stood up, I was just like 
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.04,0:04:20.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,oh, have fun doing you, I'm
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.08,0:04:22.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gonna do me, I've always walked to the beat of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.01,0:04:24.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my own drum that's how you survive, As
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.05,0:04:28.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you just witnessed, your brain tends to
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.06,0:04:28.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go along to get along with the crowd,
