Matt collects aphorisms, mantras, and other brief thoughts that represent lessons he’s learned throughout his life. In this episode, he and producer J. McVay discuss a handful of these so-called “Rubyisms,” the stories behind them, and the deeper truths they’re connected to:

• Cynics are just disappointed romantics.
• Tradition makes you focus on the wrong things. Want people to remember your wedding? Skip the cake and spend that money on a choreographer for your first dance. No one cares about cake anyway.
• Make your violence beautiful. Make your violence, beautiful.
• Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. Laws often have an ulterior motive.
