Nearly 30 years later, ‘The Dude’ still abides and he encourages the rest of the world take his cue.

Jeff Bridges channeled his titular role from the Coen Brothers‘ The Big Lebowski (1998) to deliver some much needed wisdom to late-night television audiences, donning the character’s signature cardigan and sipping on a White Russian.

“Hey, world. Yeah, the Dude here. Can we just all calm the fuck down? I mean, come on,” he said on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“I’m talking about all the wars, the fighting, the cancelling. I mean, let’s just chill out, man. Come on, tone it down. You know? We’re at like a nine. We oughta be at zero, or zero and a half, at max.” added Bridges. “Right, Guillermo?”

The audience laughed as Guillermo was revealed wearing his own matching cardigan and sipping on the same cocktail.

Bridges continued, “And yeah… ICE? Let’s get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand, right? So, let’s just abide, abide together. Yes, we can do this. Now, that’s just like my opinion.”

In The Big Lebowski, thugs mistake the titular slacker (Bridges) for the wealthy Jeffrey Lebowski, sending him on a wild investigation with his pal Walter (John Goodman) into a ransom plot involving Lebowski’s young wife (Tara Reid).

In April, Bridges said “of course” he’s open to reprising the role for a sequel, adding that he and co-star Julianne Moore “would fantasize” about reuniting on a long-overdue followup, after his character impregnated her character Maude, the other Lebowski’s heiress.

“We did another movie together, Seventh Son, she played a witch in that movie,” added Bridges. “And we would often say, ‘Gee it’s all set up for a sequel.’”

Despite their eagerness to make a sequel, Bridges doubts the Coens will be up for it. “I don’t think the brothers are going to do that,” he said. “I don’t think that’s their style. But I must say, they surprise us all the time… If they called me up and said, ‘Hey let’s do it again,’ I’d say, ‘Absolutely, come on.’”
