Hong Kong is like this huge cosmopolitan 185 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: like destination and like has so much culture.

He was, but I 203 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: think he was like on the beat. He was like 204 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: a cop or something like that. He was a cop. 205 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: He was like a he was like a harbor guard. Yeah, 206 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: it was a little a cop who does shellfish. But 207 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: I think it was because he had fought in and like, 208 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: you know, sorry, I'm not a student of twenty century 209 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: Chinese history, but like after like the Japanese invaded and 210 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: then like the Communist Party like came to power, and 211 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: I think that he was like part of the military 212 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: pre like Mao, and so therefore, because you know, Mao 213 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: is very anti like people who were like powerful before 214 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: narcissist absolute I wasn't narcissists. I'll say, I'm not afraid. 215 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: And so if I'm understanding it correctly, then just like 216 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: he kind of like had to kind of flee a 217 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: little bit and was either in tai wanter Shanghaim was 218 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: just kind of like, oh, I have to just be 219 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: this kind of like security guard as like this ex 220 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: military guy, and then he found the third sister, the 221 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: opium dealer, and then was just like waiting like you're 222 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: sketchy but hot and like she sounds so hot.

And he 334 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: that couldn't do it, and like the movies failed, and 335 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: you know, his thesis in the book is basically, you 336 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: have to be true to yourself. Like I whenever I 337 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: tried to do a movie that was like serious, like 338 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: it was a box office bomb. But when I was 339 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: able to like write, direct, stunt, coordinate, like done fight 340 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: the whole movie and it was like a kookie comedy 341 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: that was an action comedy where I did all my 342 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: own stunts, the movie succeeded. Because that's the Jackie Chan way. 343 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: I thought there was gonna be like a lot about 344 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: the Rush Hour movies. Yeah, let's talk about how those 345 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: are literally not mentioned, and he literally says, and he 346 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: talked about the Drunken Master all the time, and then 347 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: or Shanghai Moon with Owen Wilson and Shanghai Noon Sorry 348 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: Island time. Yeah moon, dude, And he goes Rush rush 349 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Hour two, which were amazing movies. Not my favorite genre. Yeah, 350 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: that was insane, he says, not my favorite genre. Where 351 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: it's like, well, you're in a lot of like buddy 352 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: action movies. I think that obviously. I think that he 353 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: hates Chris Tucker. Like that's the only thing that I 354 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: can understand from this because it's like and the only 355 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: story he told about Rush Hour was like that new 356 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: actress who he was like really helping, like like like 357 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: giving her extra time to do extra takes and like 358 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: what you know, really wanted to make her feel welcome 359 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: because she was like young and inexperienced or whatever. But 360 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: like it's weird because he those movies are like his 361 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: most famous movies. Like and at the beginning of the book, 362 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: there's not blurbs about the boat, just blurbs about Jackie 363 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: Chan and one there's quote from Kenny g Jackie Chan's 364 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: my favorite person to do it with. But then there's 365 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: a quote They include the Chris Tucker quote I was 366 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 1: always a big fan of Jackie and working with him 367 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: was like a dream come true. His innovative creative ability 368 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: was unmatched. I wonder which sounds I mean, that's such 369 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: a massaged statement, though upstaged by Chris Tucker. I mean, 370 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: what's interesting though, because I was like, oh, well, maybe 371 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: he felt that the movie is like offensive culturally and like, 372 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: because I did watch it right, watched Rush Hour two recently, 373 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: and definitely there's some things in there that you know, 374 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: oh honey, these days they never apply, not today. But 375 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, but Shanghai Noon is also such an East 376 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: meet meets West, like right, like Gong. That's like, I 377 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: feel like that's kind of the same concept. And he 378 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: clearly like likes that movie because he talks about it 379 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: in the book and is like, and nohen Wilson's quote 380 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: says working with Jackie Chance maybe the most fun I've 381 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: ever had work hand movies. That's why I wonder if 382 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: Chris Tucker rased him a little more. Maybe Owen Wilson 383 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,360 Speaker 1: was like, you're so amazing, Well, okay, and do something 384 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: where I do want to like have this conversation about 385 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: whether or not Jackie Chan is toxic because he seems 386 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: like this nice, sweet guy and yet and like about 387 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: him being toxic. Yeah, the entire book is about him 388 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: being toxic. So like, let's list the things. First of all, 389 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: he's like, well, I need everyone to call me master. 390 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: I despect they're elders, and like, yes that's Chinese culture, 391 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: and yes that's kung fu culture, but it's a little 392 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: bit just like But then you're also saying that you're 393 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: so like creating, like you know, a new world where 394 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: everyone is like so nice and played to each other, 395 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: and you're like pissed when anyone doesn't bow to you 396 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: on a movie set.

I got to 457 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: the level where you get to pick a weapon nun 458 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: Chucks or the stick, which is called a con. I 459 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 1: think that is insane, yeah, and so I chose nun 460 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Chucks were giving and nun chucks, how old are you? M? 461 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: Eight nine? But they were foam. I didn't get like 462 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: wooden nunchess. They give you foam nunchs. Okay, yeah, but 463 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: I you know, it was pretty good at the moves. 464 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: I could do, you know, the risk action, the classic 465 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: and then you like slap it above your shoulder, like 466 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: slap it down like whip it left back forth. So 467 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: I got pretty good at that. And then something happened. 468 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: We're around ten years old. I didn't want to do 469 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: karate anymore, but also felt like really guilty and my master, 470 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: I remember he called me Tom and he was like 471 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: convincing me to come back. And I came back for 472 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: like a few more sessions. And I mean I was 473 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: doing this probably three or four years, every Saturday, and 474 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 1: I stopped, and I felt so guilty for like letting 475 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: him down, and I feel like I was letting myself down. Wow, 476 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: and today you could be a kung fu master. I 477 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: truly regret not continuing my practice, because not only does 478 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: it works the physical body, but it teaches you mental calmness, 479 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: respect and integrity. Yes, in respect for your elders. I 480 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: wonder what it was that came over you at age ten. 481 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: Was it, perhaps mayhap's perchance a desire for pussy? Yeah? Sorry, 482 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: I'm too distracted by my desire for pussy that I 483 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: can't go to this Kawasaki dealership anymore. Well, but you know, 484 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: it's interesting that you picked the nun chunk the phallus. 485 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say the stick is even more of a phallus. 486 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: Oh that was the other option, Yeah, the huge stick, right, 487 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: and you perhaps chose the double nun chuck. Oh yeah, 488 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: which is a little more double doublehead. Yeah. This episode 489 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: is sponsored by zok Doc.

Then 647 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 1: I had to grip the bulky weighty flashlight in my 648 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: teeth and to use the toilet paper while being stared 649 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: at by a cow.

But there is a sadness there. I think 659 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: of never being the leading man a little bit and 660 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: like always having been in the class clown. I think, 661 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, all comedians have the sadness, and I think 662 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,959 Speaker 1: that in many ways he is a comedian at heart, 663 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: like he and he says later on, he's like, you know, 664 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: the one thing I've never done is I've never really 665 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: played the leading man. I never will. Although I said 666 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: I've never been flanked by babes. Yeah, all I will say. 667 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: So his career, like in recent years, does that thing 668 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: that a lot of comedians do, like when they're in 669 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,439 Speaker 1: their fifties, like then they do like a serious role 670 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: and like he has some movies that like no one 671 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: has seen that I was looking at called there's something 672 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: called like the Foreigner and it's very just trying to 673 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: be taken so like it still is an action movie, 674 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: but it's like about like a solo man like taking revenge, 675 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: but it's very like dark and ominous and it's not 676 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 1: being like comedic action at all. And then there's this 677 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: kind of like sad part where so he does the 678 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 1: karate kid with Jaden Smith and like it was really 679 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: flattered by will Smith asking and do it in the 680 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: photos in the photo section where he's like an, I 681 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: taught Jaden to conserve water and it's him like pouring 682 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: out a water bottle into plants bottled water on studio 683 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: on clearly like on the lot. Yeah, and there's like 684 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: fake photo op to be like use the rest of 685 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: your dasani water this like flower box. So he also 686 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: runs into Wilsoneth at Noboo fish Christian Mark. Yeah, I 687 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: feel like I think he's also getting just like a 688 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: bow targa pasta and we'll get into this, I guess, 689 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: and how does she eat? But he could be not 690 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: getting I think that he's probably moved on from his 691 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: fish hate. Is my like suspicion because he moves on 692 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: for a lot of suff right, he said he never 693 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: cut his hair, and then he does after his godfather dies, 694 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 1: he said he never plays like wine now he then 695 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,480 Speaker 1: he collects, then becomes a whine ass like he does 696 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: a lot of like growth, growth, growth, but also like 697 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: a lot of like becoming super wretch and just being like, 698 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: well now collect like everything. So and then he says 699 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: this thing after Karate Kid, and he's like, and then 700 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm on like some private plane with Will Smith and 701 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: he's describing this movie that sounds so whatever called the 702 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: Greatest Gift, and he was like, and I want him 703 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: to be it, and he goes the movie isn't made yet, 704 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: but like, I trust Will Smith in my life. Will 705 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: Smith is a man of his word. And I'm like, 706 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: I looked it up. But the Greatest Gift has not 707 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: been made, so maybe Will Smith is not a man 708 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: of his word. But another interesting thing that said that 709 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: I think also probably like could be also part of 710 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: kind of like Jackie Chan's like just not insecurities specifically, 711 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: but he notes how I think like in the way 712 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: he is still this class plant in Hollywood and so 713 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: many people come up to him and say I want 714 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: to work with you, and he's kind of like, okay, sure, 715 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: everyone says like, oh, you're Jackie Chan, like I want 716 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: to work with you. But he's kind of like, hmm, 717 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,240 Speaker 1: but do you Yeah, it doesn't always happen. Yeah. People 718 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: think he's so fun and sweet and does all his 719 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: own stunts, but they're just like, well, I'm not going 720 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: to make this silly movie that won't be taken seriously 721 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,440 Speaker 1: and that costs a lot of a lot of money. 722 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: I want to briefly discuss his relationship to the Chinese 723 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: Communist Party and him sort of Jackie Chan as a 724 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: arm of state propaganda, because I do feel that ultimately 725 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: he is that, and that's fine. Um, but it's like 726 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: because like you know how he like he starts doing 727 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: the panda thing. He starts doing this thing where he 728 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: carries around stuff to pandas to raise awareness for to 729 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: raise awareness for pandas. But it's like pandas are famously 730 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: sort of like this like symbol of China, of China, 731 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: and that like the Chinese government like uses to just 732 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: like get people to love China. It's like pro chana propaganda, 733 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: and pandas are possibly one of the cutest things and 734 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: so and they look like us. You know. It's like 735 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: so there's there's a narcissism, there's the human narcissism, and 736 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: there's all but I and to him being like, you know, 737 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: very pro China. It's like there's that whole thing with 738 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: the Singapore thing where he's like, but this is also 739 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: him being toxic where he's like, I need to buy 740 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: the thing where he buys a house in Singapore he 741 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: buys is serious, little random where he just starts like 742 00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:01,760 Speaker 1: buying like broken down eighteen hundreds era building in China 743 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: and China and Singapore, and he's like, and I wanted 744 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: to move the buildings to Hong Kong and build like 745 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,399 Speaker 1: a Jackie Chan memorial park, but there wasn't it enough 746 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 1: room in Hong Kong. So actually it's actually fine. And 747 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: I am building this like huge cross cultural beautiful museum 748 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: in my honor and name in Singapore and like the 749 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: Institute of Design and Culture, and every one is kind 750 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: of like, what are you doing? What are you doing there? 751 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,479 Speaker 1: And he's kind of saying like, it's about preserving history, 752 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,000 Speaker 1: but it's also architecture, but it's also about just like 753 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: different cultures meeting and just like clearly it's also about 754 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: like he feels crazy if he's not working and like 755 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 1: he can't do as many like it's finding new projects, 756 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: and he doesn't like being his home like with Joe 757 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: and all day just like playing cars or whatever. But 758 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,319 Speaker 1: I think it's also it's just like him being like, 759 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,359 Speaker 1: you need to preserve China. We need to preserve China, 760 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: but also we need to preserve the name Jackie Chan 761 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: and it needs to be like they probably is, like 762 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: there isn't a single building in Hong Kong that has 763 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: my name on it. A couple other things that are toxic. 764 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: When he buys six hundred thousand dollars worth of flashlights. 765 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: When I was filling this or nice guy, my stunt 766 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: team and I went shopping in Australia. We passed by 767 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: a watch boutique and as soon as the Chinese salesman 768 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 1: who was standing in the doorway caught sight of me, 769 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: he started hollering, Hey, Jackie, Jackie, come in and have 770 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: a look. I said, I'm not going to buy anything. 771 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: He said, that's fine, just have a look. He was 772 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: so enthusiastic, I thought I might as well just look. 773 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: He offered me to your coffee with such warmth I 774 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: felt obliged to give him a few minutes. Thirty minutes later, 775 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,959 Speaker 1: my final bill came up to five hundred and eighty 776 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Every member of the stunt team got a 777 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars watch. I was with only three of them, 778 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: and I thought it would be enough to just get 779 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: those guys watches, but they asked what about the others? 780 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: What could I do? I bought watches for everyone. I 781 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,280 Speaker 1: will say this book is very drink. Every time Jackie 782 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: Chan buys a watch, if I see something he like, 783 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: I buy in bulk. This is what we're like, Teresa Caputo, 784 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:57,239 Speaker 1: I buy in bulk. Okay, while shopping in America, I 785 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: bought six thousand dollars worth of flashlights in one go, 786 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: and everyone looked at me like I was insane. At 787 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: the time, no one in America had any idea who 788 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: I was. I'm just like why. It's like he's almost 789 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 1: a prepper and this is like again toxic. Well, he's 790 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: a prepper because of the poverty he grew up in 791 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 1: and the party his parents grew up in. But he's 792 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,239 Speaker 1: also so generous in this way and very I think 793 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: he wants to be light class clown. Very This is 794 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: a comedian trait that like at one point he gets 795 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 1: scammed into trading Bentley's and someone sells that Bentley or 796 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,280 Speaker 1: I really just could not follow. I was like, girl, 797 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm lost at a confused Matt Lady meme and he's like, 798 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: and then this guy told me that if I like 799 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: bought the new Bentley and I like drove it to 800 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: Shanghai and dropped it off, then like it would actually 801 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: like be a more special edition Bentley. But then he 802 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 1: was like, oh, and I can get you a two 803 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: door Bentley. But then I got a Bentley and they 804 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: were like, okay, pay up three point five million. He's like, 805 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: but I thought I rated you my Bentley for two 806 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: point five and you're like, girl, babe, this I mean, 807 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 1: I'm glad it was included in the book personally, but 808 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: it's super random. So he randomly has like fifteen albums 809 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: and he's like a chapter he's like, I know I 810 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: won't be the greatest singer of all time, but like, hmmm, 811 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: like I am good. And then he tells this whole 812 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,479 Speaker 1: story about like his producer like telling him to try 813 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: harder on him, getting really angry in the studio. It's 814 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: all very kind of very eighties. It's very like eighties Bank, 815 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: and like the newer stuff is also still being eighties Bank. 816 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,879 Speaker 1: I was, and then some stuff is a little more 817 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 1: and I think he duetted with Kenny Gum.
