Speaker 1: hell of a guy, one one heck of an actor. Uh.
Speaker 1: And and his story that me and you have been
Speaker 1: talking about leading up to this is is a pretty
Speaker 1: pretty awesome one. And uh yeah, I'm I'm. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've got a superhero on our show. He is he
Speaker 1: is our I think he's our first superhero. What do
Speaker 1: you mean you think he's definitely our first superhero. Well,
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of great guests, so we've got
Speaker 1: we we have had a lot of great guests. This
Speaker 1: is our first superhero, Okay, Dave. Before Kyle Kyles given
Speaker 1: me that, I like, we're almost we're almost ready for
Speaker 1: for our guests. So before we get into our guest.
Speaker 1: Question that I've been wanting to ask you is if
Speaker 1: if I'm I'm thirty seven, how old are you? Right,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm forty your forty Okay, so thirty seven and
Speaker 1: forty for the first forty years of your life, if
Speaker 1: you could give yourself a g p A A grade,
Speaker 1: what would be your self assessed to g P A
Speaker 1: for the first four two years up until this point
Speaker 1: right now? I mean that is a deep, deep, deep
Speaker 1: that is a that is I know that you didn't
Speaker 1: come up with it because you're at a fourth grade
Speaker 1: reading level, which we've talked about before I came I
Speaker 1: came up with this question. You did not. This is
Speaker 1: someone very highly intelligent. No, nobody else. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not divulging anything, but it's not you. I just want
Speaker 1: you to answer the question. Um, I mean considering that
Speaker 1: I've I've taken a lot of losses in life. Um,
Speaker 1: how many losses? Are we talking about? Multiple losses? Kyle?
Speaker 1: Do you do you think Dave's taken a lot of losses?
Speaker 1: If Kyle, if our producer says you've taken a lot
Speaker 1: of losses, You've taken a lot of losses. Here. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing, though, Dave, is that I'm I'm going to
Speaker 1: write down what I think your g p A is
Speaker 1: and then I want you to talk it out and
Speaker 1: tell the audience what your g p A is and
Speaker 1: I want to see how close we are. And then
Speaker 1: we're gonna do vice versa. And the reason one is
Speaker 1: because you're gonna self assess yourself. But I think that
Speaker 1: your g p A is going to be a little
Speaker 1: bit higher than you think it is. You say you've
Speaker 1: taken a lot of loss Look at is this with
Speaker 1: honors classes? Is this based on a four DA? No,
Speaker 1: this is a four Stop it for two seconds. It's
Speaker 1: based is a four point of scale. Everyone knows. So
Speaker 1: there's no honors, there's no and you have to you
Speaker 1: have to look at everything. Okay, do you own you
Speaker 1: own a home? Do you off? Have you helped? Have
Speaker 1: you officiated weddings? Have you helped out? You know others
Speaker 1: like how big is your heard? All the all of
Speaker 1: it has included Dave Ossica. Okay, so I want to know.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm writing mine down. Don't don't don't don't? Uh?
Speaker 1: All right, I wrote mind down? Maybe, Kyle, do you
Speaker 1: wanna do you wanna write what you think? Davos is
Speaker 1: as well? We can get two people. No, you don't
Speaker 1: say it out loud. Well, Kyle, Tequila thinks you've done
Speaker 1: a shitty job in life. I mean, that's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. Okay, Davo, Davo, come on, before we
Speaker 1: get before we get the one and only Brandon Rauth
Speaker 1: on the podcast, what what is your g p A?
Speaker 1: I would say my g p A is probably I
Speaker 1: would say, at this point in my life, drumroll. We
Speaker 1: need a drum roll. Kyle, thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable going with with the three point three point
Speaker 1: oh and three point oh in school is a solid
Speaker 1: B right, yeah, okay, all right, do you want to
Speaker 1: do you want to know the g p A I
Speaker 1: came up with for you, sure, Kyle, are you interested
Speaker 1: in this? The g p A, the life g p
Speaker 1: A here on Earth school that I have come up
Speaker 1: with for Dave Ossaco is a three point four. Wow.
Speaker 1: That means I value you more than you value yourself. Well,
Speaker 1: I think most people value me more than that, but
Speaker 1: I'll take that that's part of the that's part of
Speaker 1: the reason that you've yes, and Kyle's two point nine
Speaker 1: for me. I mean that is very true. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So do you want to I mean, do you want
Speaker 1: to know why three point should we just keep moving this?
Speaker 1: I mean, you're definitely a three point four. Look you
Speaker 1: you you have a job where you can provide for yourself. Correct, Okay,
Speaker 1: you own a home, you own cars. Okay, so you've
Speaker 1: done You've done good with like financials. Uh now, let's sure,
Speaker 1: Well you have a lot of people can't own a home,
Speaker 1: people can't own cars. True. Now let's go on to
Speaker 1: the other side, the guy for our audience. The guy
Speaker 1: still talks to his mom every single day, multiple multiple
Speaker 1: times a day. The g P A just went up
Speaker 1: for that, right, Yeah, I mean that's important. Family. Family
Speaker 1: is very important to you. Friends are very important to you.
Speaker 1: Loyalty is very important to you. Right, traveling the world,
Speaker 1: seeing things, experiencing new stuff. I mean we might have
Speaker 1: to go a little higher, Dave, might be higher than
Speaker 1: a three point four. You're selling it, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Um two point nine from Kyle s Well, no, he's
Speaker 1: just you know, he's seen a look, he just went up.
Speaker 1: He see. He's saying, no, he's saying to wrap it up.
Speaker 1: I thought he was saying I thought he saying, go
Speaker 1: up a little bit. He's saying, wrap it up, get
Speaker 1: done with this. Well, well, let's talk. And I appreciate that, Palot.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your three point four, um, and I and
Speaker 1: I will try to uh to keep the jokes at minimum.
Speaker 1: So what do you think your g P as? Oh? Mine,
Speaker 1: mine is definitely lower than at three point four. It's
Speaker 1: definitely lower. Yeah, and even if we took you at
Speaker 1: thirty seven and me at thirty seven, it would definitely
Speaker 1: be like let's say, yours three years ago was a
Speaker 1: three point three three or whatever we want to say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mine's a little lower O, mine's lower. I I I
Speaker 1: played in I was in Kidville a little too too long,
Speaker 1: Little yeah, I was in the McDonald's playpin a little
Speaker 1: bit too uh to too too long, too long in life,
Speaker 1: I had Kyle Tequila. I mean, did you teach me
Speaker 1: what crypto was? I didn't even know how to invest money.
Speaker 1: Do you think at this point you're at like a
Speaker 1: junior college level at this point? Or well, what would
Speaker 1: be a junior college level? What are we talking? What's
Speaker 1: the g p A there? I mean, you got to
Speaker 1: be in the mid twos. I would think for junior college,
Speaker 1: I'm in the mid dave and in the mid twos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're in the mid Okay, thank you. I thought you
Speaker 1: were saying for sure, I would go, I would look,
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to assess yourself. But I think I'm
Speaker 1: just now creeping up on like a three point Oh okay,
Speaker 1: I think I'm just now getting there. Okay, you know yeah,
Speaker 1: So I mean I feel like that's fair. Well, I
Speaker 1: do think, well, yeah, that deserve applause, That does deserve applies.
Speaker 1: I do think is it for the crypto investment or?
Speaker 1: I do think based on our I think both of us. However,
Speaker 1: we have to really be honest with the fact that
Speaker 1: because of the sports teams that we choose to be
Speaker 1: fans of, that probably lowers our g p A tremendously. Well,
Speaker 1: wouldn't in The Mavericks won a championship in two thousand eleven. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: the Sixers one one in the eighties. So maybe so
Speaker 1: maybe it lowers your g p A, but it's not
Speaker 1: lowering mind. Yeah. Well, okay, fair enough. Did you get
Speaker 1: mom in the shot, pal? Yeah? I got her a
Speaker 1: little brother. Have your mom here than you here? To
Speaker 1: be honest, do you want to should we switch? I
Speaker 1: think we should. Actually, I haven't been here a long
Speaker 1: and you already you already want to switch. Don't go anywhere. Hey,
Speaker 1: Pam will be right back after a word from our sponsors. Alright, cool.
Speaker 1: So our next guest, Davo, got to do what very
Speaker 1: few have in playing Superman opposite Kate Bob's Worth Superman Returns.
Speaker 1: He played the Adam in Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow
Speaker 1: and can be seen now on The Rookie on ABC.
Speaker 1: Please welcome our very special pal, Mr Brennan Ralph. How
Speaker 1: are you, buddy? Thanks guys, thanks for having me look
Speaker 1: at that. We got some clappits going on in this
Speaker 1: fired from my house. Um, Brandon, we want to dive
Speaker 1: right into Dave and I right before um uh you
Speaker 1: you logged on. We were just talking about we were
Speaker 1: grading each other. And what I mean by that is
Speaker 1: we were we were self assessing. If if Davo is
Speaker 1: forty years old and I'm thirty seven, Davo was self
Speaker 1: assessing himself for the first forty years, if he had
Speaker 1: to put it in a g p A. Okay, So
Speaker 1: we basically are calling um, so not not judging. We're
Speaker 1: not judging. We're not judging. It's it's it's Earth school
Speaker 1: right like we're here on Earth school right now. And
Speaker 1: if you had to give yourself a g p A
Speaker 1: in the first you don't have to say your age,
Speaker 1: But however long you've been on Earth, we want to
Speaker 1: know we've given you a g p A. We want
Speaker 1: to know what Brandon would give him. What g p
Speaker 1: A you'd give yourself of life, skills of of life,
Speaker 1: just all life, all inclusive. I mean, prior to the pandemic,
Speaker 1: I probably would have given myself a higher score. I
Speaker 1: think I think we all would have write was host pandemic.
Speaker 1: I've certainly learned a lot about myself and my limitations
Speaker 1: and my challenges, which has been really good. Uh like
Speaker 1: like uh steam steam cooker. Uh what's the long pressure
Speaker 1: cooker of? Like yep, self and action. Um so in
Speaker 1: my sixty three years one years, I guess i'd give
Speaker 1: myself maybe a three point oh. Now, all right, a
Speaker 1: three point oh. That's okay, okay, but can we just
Speaker 1: tavo you know at the top of the show what
Speaker 1: I gave my seat high and let me tell you, no, no, Brandon,
Speaker 1: that that's pretty good. No, no, I am I'm actually
Speaker 1: curious what would you give Jared? Wait, wait, bit, hold on, wait,
Speaker 1: oh here we go, wait hold on, let me let
Speaker 1: me just talk for two seconds here and then Brandon
Speaker 1: can can give me one is I've known Brandon since
Speaker 1: I was twenty one years old, sixteen years and we
Speaker 1: just know what we were talking about at the top
Speaker 1: of the show, and what I said, I gave myself.
Speaker 1: I gave myself Brandon a three point oh. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm just now coming into three point oh. I know
Speaker 1: me and I definitely know you, and ain't no way
Speaker 1: in God's Earth at you're a three point. Oh you
Speaker 1: are way above above me right now in life. Well,
Speaker 1: I kind of say, you gotta know how everyone else
Speaker 1: is grading themselves maybe to to to know how well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so so you know, listen, if Jared gave himself a thing,
Speaker 1: then you're like a four. Well, well that's no. That's
Speaker 1: the thing with Brandon is Brandon. Brandon has always had
Speaker 1: the kindest heart in the world. Right, that's huge on
Speaker 1: the g p A scale. He's he's a loyal husband.
Speaker 1: That's huge on the GPS. Good Midwest boy, that's big
Speaker 1: Midwest guy. You get points just for being from the Midwest.
Speaker 1: He is a a an extremely loyal father, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like dedicated to being a family guy. And we know
Speaker 1: how much we put we put that on this great
Speaker 1: hair which he has that hurts our. I didn't know that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: that's in there. If you knew the heroes of the
Speaker 1: g p A, how high to do? How high did
Speaker 1: the g P A half? So Tequila, Tequila and Ralph
Speaker 1: need to hang out. Yeah, that's that's what it air wars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's interesting. It's always interesting to self assess yourself
Speaker 1: as opposed to being assessed by by by By others.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, what would you what are you?
Speaker 1: What are you giving Brandon from Afar? I know, I
Speaker 1: mean what I find it's interesting that he said is
Speaker 1: that he had a different assessment pre pandemic and post pandemic. So,
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of people took this
Speaker 1: time and a lot of people grew from it. Um
Speaker 1: and it's very odd that in our time on this
Speaker 1: planet that we were all able to take an extended
Speaker 1: breaks the strangest thing in the history of the world. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're managing that Arby's in Oklahoma now
Speaker 1: because it gives me a lot of time to not
Speaker 1: see you that often. I don't know if Brandon, did
Speaker 1: you tell Brandon that you're the GM of an Arby's
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma. Don't listen to him, Brandon full benefits for
Speaker 1: this kid. Don't don't listen to it. But I think
Speaker 1: it's they do have the meat. Jared's got the meats.
Speaker 1: But I think that, you know, there's a lot to
Speaker 1: be said for that because there was so much time
Speaker 1: that people got to just stop and and take a
Speaker 1: deep breath and exhale and invest in bitcoin like you did.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's really interesting that you said that
Speaker 1: that your assessment was a little bit different pre compared
Speaker 1: to post. So how do you feel you learned a
Speaker 1: lot in this in this time, this downtime about yourself? Yes?
Speaker 1: And what was that? Was that something that you enjoyed
Speaker 1: kind of discovering about yourself or was it kind of
Speaker 1: an odd feeling? I mean, especially as a working actor,
Speaker 1: it must have been strange to just be on that
Speaker 1: extended break. Uh yeah, I mean yeah, you're used to breaks.
Speaker 1: I'm used to breaks as an actor. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: a big hiatus between seasons or between jobs depending. Um.
Speaker 1: But the hard thing is when as a big break
Speaker 1: and there's no you don't know when you're going back
Speaker 1: or or there's no goal, which is that open ended?
Speaker 1: When when is when's the next time that that work
Speaker 1: is going to happen? Because as as the pandemic ended,
Speaker 1: I finished the show. I was done on the show
Speaker 1: that I've been on for four years, and so that
Speaker 1: was like going into the pandemic. It was kind of
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario. Um, But then you know, it
Speaker 1: was nice the rookie thing came up and I did
Speaker 1: some nice quality episodes of that but so this time anyway,
Speaker 1: it hasn't been fun. I mean, once you get through it,
Speaker 1: it's fun and you and you get to the to
Speaker 1: the other side of it. But it's work, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's your self insuspection. You don't have a therapist
Speaker 1: that I've been working with on and off for the
Speaker 1: past four years, trauma therapist. And when I say trauma therapy,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean I have PTSD from wartime. Everyone has
Speaker 1: their own kind of trauma, varying levels of trauma, but
Speaker 1: trauma therapist is a specialized therapist for for dealing with
Speaker 1: childhood trauma that we all we all suffer, either they're
Speaker 1: from our parents or from outside sources. UM. Anyway, they
Speaker 1: have a great way about them and I had been
Speaker 1: working on and off, but I've been here and just
Speaker 1: in the last few months have been working more and
Speaker 1: more with her, UH and that's resulted in some really
Speaker 1: important um um discoveries UH that I found for myself
Speaker 1: about how I interact with the world and how we
Speaker 1: interact with my family. UH. That has it's challenging to
Speaker 1: grow and to accept certain mistakes and fallibilities that you have.
Speaker 1: But when you can get to the other side. Then
Speaker 1: it's it's great. Yeah, it's better to do the work
Speaker 1: and get to the other side than continue on, you know,
Speaker 1: in a path that's not They may not be working
Speaker 1: very well. Right, Well, I wish Dave would do well.
Speaker 1: I was going to say that it hasn't even begun
Speaker 1: his work yet, so he's got he's got a long
Speaker 1: road to climb, long road ahead of him. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: I'm climbing. I'm climbing, b Ralph, I'm climbing. I'm trying. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're all doing the best that we can with the
Speaker 1: tools that we have, exactly exactly. So with that being said, um,
Speaker 1: we'll get into some of our questions here. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you're in a unique situation, um, as a
Speaker 1: as a former superhero. And uh, it's interesting because years
Speaker 1: ago I had coffee with Tom Holland about a week
Speaker 1: and a half before Spider Man came out, and I
Speaker 1: remember telling Tom, this might be the last time that
Speaker 1: you're able to have a normal coffee outside of a
Speaker 1: cafe as as a as a civilian, as somebody that
Speaker 1: people aren't gonna, you know, lose their minds over when
Speaker 1: they see And it was kind of interesting and you know,
Speaker 1: he's a great young man, but it was kind of
Speaker 1: kind of scary for him too at the same time,
Speaker 1: because he was like, oh my god, I haven't even
Speaker 1: thought about that. It was literally ten days before Spider
Speaker 1: Man came out, and I was like, if we try
Speaker 1: to have coffee eleven days from now, which is the
Speaker 1: day after Spider Man comes out, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a completely different scenario. So in a way, you know,
Speaker 1: I equated to this is a sports and entertainment show.
Speaker 1: I equated to minor league players in minor league baseball
Speaker 1: or in the D League in basketball. You know, when
Speaker 1: they make that shift into superstardom. And for you, you
Speaker 1: were a working actor. You were around um, but you
Speaker 1: were quote unquote kind of you know, not in the
Speaker 1: big leagues and the big show. And then you had
Speaker 1: this tremendous opportunity to play the Man of Steel, one
Speaker 1: of the most coveted roles in the history of film
Speaker 1: or television. Uh, with an amazing director. You know that
Speaker 1: that pushed for you as an unknown at the time.
Speaker 1: So what was that like for you, because it kind
Speaker 1: of reminds me of when Jeremy Lynn, you know, was
Speaker 1: in the in the NBA with the New York Knicks
Speaker 1: and how he took over basketball for literally for a month,
Speaker 1: all anybody talked about was Jeremy Lynch. It's just so
Speaker 1: interesting because nobody knows who Jeremy lynn was. And just
Speaker 1: like if if you take you know, the the soap
Speaker 1: opera fans aside, you know, technically nobody knows who Brandon
Speaker 1: Rolph is, and then overnight it's all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're in the majors and now you know, all eyes
Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, yeah, no, it's the soap fans. Uh,
Speaker 1: one might have to live. Fans knew, knew who I
Speaker 1: was a little bit um, but yeah, that was very
Speaker 1: very very few opportunities walking in New York when I
Speaker 1: was feeling that that somebody would recognize me from from
Speaker 1: that Um Yeah, I mean I think I think I
Speaker 1: anticipated that it would be a bigger problem than it
Speaker 1: ended up being, and that actually kind of put I
Speaker 1: put myself into my own box for a little while. Uh,
Speaker 1: concerned about how much attention I would get, um, and
Speaker 1: was concerned about that and my anonimity and stuff. So
Speaker 1: I again, I think I had too much anxiety and
Speaker 1: worry about that for for a couple of years, because
Speaker 1: the truth was, it wasn't never as big as I,
Speaker 1: thank thank goodness, as as I think it is for
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I think that had to do
Speaker 1: with the success of the movie, or the movie did well,
Speaker 1: but not it wasn't blockbusters. It wasn't like any of
Speaker 1: the Marvel movies. Um and and also while I was
Speaker 1: the star of the movie in the trailers and all
Speaker 1: the stuff, I wasn't I my face wasn't front and
Speaker 1: center and a lot of the promotional stuff some of
Speaker 1: it so people knew my face, but not not as
Speaker 1: much so anyway, and saying a lot of words to
Speaker 1: say that it wasn't as big of it. I did
Speaker 1: get noticed, and I do when I go out in public.
Speaker 1: I tend to wear a hat at this point because
Speaker 1: I have played many more characters since then, um and
Speaker 1: and get noticed from from you know, time and again
Speaker 1: now and again. Um But I've learned to deal with it,
Speaker 1: and I've learned, you know, you learn how to manage it.
Speaker 1: And that's not as scary as as it was in
Speaker 1: my head. Right, yeah, but how how about the feeling
Speaker 1: brandon of of and again, we always we always like
Speaker 1: to parallel things from the sports world to the ntagent
Speaker 1: world here, but like, how about the feeling of playing
Speaker 1: at this level and all of a sudden like forget
Speaker 1: forget the fame and being noticed in the second right
Speaker 1: now now talk to us for a second of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm now in the game, I'm now here, and and
Speaker 1: I'm now meeting with people that I've like grown up watching,
Speaker 1: grown up you know, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you were you were, I mean I was there with you.
Speaker 1: You were in the game. Yeah, I mean I think
Speaker 1: that you know, good and bad. Naivete helped coming from
Speaker 1: a small town and not knowing exactly what I was
Speaker 1: getting into. Still, even three years into my acting career,
Speaker 1: I was still pretty naive about a lot of things. UM.
Speaker 1: So that helped in some ways because I wasn't worried
Speaker 1: and I wasn't concerned about other things that I probably
Speaker 1: should have been concerned and worried about, um pressure from
Speaker 1: the studio and all kinds of other outward pressure. UM.
Speaker 1: And I was fairly confident in myself and my ability
Speaker 1: to speak uh and do interviews and maintain a public
Speaker 1: persona and be a good image for the studio and
Speaker 1: a good image of Superman. Um, I prioritize a lot
Speaker 1: of those things. Knowing that that was being the face
Speaker 1: of Superman was as important in some ways as the film,
Speaker 1: the filming of the movie itself. UM So, I know
Speaker 1: I took that on as I wasn't scared by that.
Speaker 1: I was kind of I like that challenge, I guess
Speaker 1: in a way. Um well, I can tell you from
Speaker 1: from being there that day at the premier and interviewing you,
Speaker 1: I mean you you were very poised. You were very,
Speaker 1: like you said, confident, like relaxed. It seemed like you
Speaker 1: had been doing it for for years and years and years.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if if that was intended, or
Speaker 1: if that was a really great acting job, or you know,
Speaker 1: you definitely had such a good head on your shoulders.
Speaker 1: I remember that vividly. Thanks. Well, I think I settled
Speaker 1: into you know, I felt I felt that I that
Speaker 1: I belonged there with this role anyway. I I felt
Speaker 1: worthy um of of taking on the mantle, especially at
Speaker 1: that time when we were promoting the movie. You know,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of work to character work to
Speaker 1: get into and feel comfortable stepping into the shoes, the
Speaker 1: wonderful shoes that christ to Reeve Um had had had
Speaker 1: left the Cape Um and honoring the legacy of Superman
Speaker 1: was very important to me. So I just that was
Speaker 1: always front and center for me. So I felt like
Speaker 1: as long as I knew that un dedicated myself, I
Speaker 1: could speak Um, I could speak speak well and and
Speaker 1: continue that positive legacy of the character. Yeah, no, for sure.
Speaker 1: So well, just just to wrap it up real quick.
Speaker 1: Is the crazy thing though, is is post Superman, you know,
Speaker 1: is like it is like now now he's there. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like so one one day, one day you're not
Speaker 1: kind of there, and now the next day you're there.
Speaker 1: And I and and and I was. I was, you know,
Speaker 1: I was there for it all. And I got to
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, watch him. I mean I
Speaker 1: remember going overseas to uh where do we go? Paris?
Speaker 1: I think Paris. Yeah, we went to Paris and I
Speaker 1: watched you know that premiere and then we and then
Speaker 1: we get back and it's it's like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it's then all of a sudden, because it's so funny.
Speaker 1: It's so interesting that with with athletes and with actors, right, Brandon,
Speaker 1: it's you could be putting in the work for so
Speaker 1: many years, so many years. An athlete, you know, an
Speaker 1: athlete could be in the like Dave was saying, in
Speaker 1: the miners or the G League or you know whatever
Speaker 1: kind of development league, and they and they're the same
Speaker 1: person as when they finally got found. But but all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have been found, and now you
Speaker 1: have this whole new landscape to go and and and
Speaker 1: and and on. Yeah, you know, I think, uh, I
Speaker 1: think that the challenge of that is for me. I
Speaker 1: can want to speak for me. I guess was that
Speaker 1: I skipped over Um, I skipped over a lot of
Speaker 1: important steps because I was elevated to the status or
Speaker 1: I worked hard for Superman, but it was a kind
Speaker 1: of a role that was made for me, or that
Speaker 1: I was made for uh and um so I had
Speaker 1: gotten acting jobs from auditioning and stuff, but I had
Speaker 1: not fully developed that skill and some other internal things
Speaker 1: I needed to work on. So when I got that role,
Speaker 1: I the message that I received was that, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't need to work on those things anymore. I've already
Speaker 1: made it. And you, as an actor, you don't get
Speaker 1: most time, you don't get to play just one character.
Speaker 1: You have to be able to do other things and
Speaker 1: really get in touch with the emotions and know when
Speaker 1: you're seaking truth not just as one character, but as
Speaker 1: multiple different characters. And so I have had to kind
Speaker 1: of go back and work on some of that stuff
Speaker 1: and understand that I had that that that I that
Speaker 1: I skipped, that I got some privilege in that way.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of privilege, but um, but that
Speaker 1: was another way that I got. I got the fast
Speaker 1: pass ahead and but I got to realize, actually, I
Speaker 1: need to go back and I need to learn those
Speaker 1: some of those skills. And it's been a challenge, but
Speaker 1: it's been part of my process. So it's good and bad. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I think I wish that Superman had had some spidy
Speaker 1: senses and not traveled with Jared. I mean, that would
Speaker 1: have been the first thing that I would have been
Speaker 1: were on a different thing, just showed up in the
Speaker 1: same plot. Okay, cool, I couldn't know. Alright, guys, we're
