Speaker 1: What is up with you? What's going on?

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: You know, what's weird? I actually wanted to talk to

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: you about this because I had something so weirdly funny

26
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: happened this week. So, as you know, I've been going

27
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: to therapy twice a week now for a couple of months,

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: and it's actually been great, like really helpful because we're

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: getting to go deeper, Like it's just it's just cool,

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: like I'm glad that I can afford it right now.

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: But it's it's also weird that it's been helpful, because

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: at first that was like, oh God, is this just

33
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: gonna be me crying for another day every week? But

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: it's been great. And so I was talking to about

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Arafice this week and I said, you know, is it

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: is it possible for someone to like develop mania? And

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: she's like, well, what do you mean? And I was

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: talking to her about, like, you know, just how I've

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: been feeling, and she was like, oh, that's happiness.

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I was like, huh.

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: She's like, you're a happy you fucking idiot, And I

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: literally couldn't. It has been it's been such a long

43
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: time since I have felt happy in a sustained way

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: that I forgot what it felt like and I thought

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: I was having a manic episode.

46
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: You were like, this is actually a disease and not

47
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: just feeling good.

48
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: That I developed at forty six years old. By the way,

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: fuck it's forty six. I'm like, this is it? Like

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: is mania like a side effect of perimenopause? Like maybe

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm starting perimenopause. And she's like, you're fucking happy?

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: What the shit is?

53
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: What's wrong with you? And I'm like, oh yeah, and

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: it's true. Like right now, I just like my life

55
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: is good, and everyone I love is happy and healthy

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: or at least you know, they're doing okay and getting

57
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: getting by and getting through. There's no major shit going

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: on with anyone I love. And it's like, you know,

59
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: I've been traveling and I just I'm just happy. And

60
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: I've been happy for about a month or two and

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: genuinely thought I was having a fucking psychotic break.

62
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: How sad is that? That's so sad.

63
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: This is what it's like to live in America right now.

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: If you're happy for two months, you think you're dying. Ah,

65
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: it gets so out of place in my life to

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: be happy.

67
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Well, I'm extremely stoked for you that you're happy. Like

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: that's such a good I mean that to me, just

69
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: just such good news. Whenever somebody tells you that, because

70
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: it's rare obviously that somebody comes to and just like,

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just happy. I'm having a good time, Like

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: things are going well, nothing to complain about. So I'm

73
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm so happy.

74
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: For you, thank you. And it is And it's truly

75
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: it's finding that weird balance because it doesn't mean that

76
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't still get like grumpy or upset at certain

77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: things or like, but just on a you know, day

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: to day basis, I'm all right. And I don't know,

79
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: like I've started doing a game night and trivia night

80
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: with some local friends that I grew up with, like

81
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: a couple of like it's my friend and his husband.

82
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: So I grew up with my friend here and he

83
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: and his husband have a house like literally down the road,

84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: and so I was just like hanging out with them

85
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: for a game night and they invited some friends up

86
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: from the city and we're like doing that every week now,

87
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: and I don't know, I just feel good. I just like,

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: like the problems of the world have not gone away.

89
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm not, you know, shying away from them, but I

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 2: just feel like I'm in a better place to take

91
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: care of things that matter to me because I feel happy. Yeah,

92
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: I sincerely thought I was breaking down.

93
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Like, so, yeah, I think, I mean, I'll tell you

94
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: what I think about this, but I kind of want

95
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: to hear from you obviously. Do you think it's because

96
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: you're traveling and circulating and you know, being around people

97
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: and you're not like kind of in that COVID isolation

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: stuff as.

99
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Much completely because I I isolated for a very long

100
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: time and a lot longer than most people. And even

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: though I still take precautions, like I kind of put

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: myself in a much more depressive place by physically not

103
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 2: seeing people for a very very long time. And so

104
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: and then I was kind of bothered by like how

105
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: quickly everyone kind of got back to hanging out, and yeah,

106
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: you know, I was kind of feeling like, well, you know,

107
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: I'm missing out on things. I don't like that feeling

108
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: because I'm not used to that feeling. So yeah, I

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: think the fact that I've been able to you know again,

110
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: still be cautious, but relax a little bit, It's made

111
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 2: all the difference in the world. And that includes travel.

112
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: Like I was afraid to go anywhere for such a

113
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: long time. I did the extra credit with the pandemic,

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: Like I definitely am that student. I did the extra credit.

115
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: And the thing that I always forget or it takes

116
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: a lot to remind me, is that for me, anger

117
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: very quickly turns to depression, Like I turn it inward

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: all the time, and it just festers and rots. And

119
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: that's a big part of why I have like little

120
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: episodes or you know, depressive episodes, but like it turns

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: into something more like deep and sustaining because I just

122
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: can't let go of the anger and like holding on too.

123
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: Anger has always been a big, big deal for me.

124
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: So just finding ways to let go and feel lighter

125
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: in the earth and feel like, you know, I'm kind

126
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: of walking a more gentle path with myself has changed

127
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 2: my life. It has just changed my life like for

128
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: the better. And you know, again, I still get upset

129
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: about things. I still have a full range of emotions,

130
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: but not letting that anger fester, like doing my rage

131
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: works or whatever it is I have to do. It's

132
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: been crucial to my whole mindset changing. And I don't know,

133
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: I'm even like summertime is always interesting for me because

134
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: I hate the weather. I don't like being hot, I

135
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: don't like being sweaty, but I love being outside. I

136
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: love hearing all the birds when I wake up every morning. Like,

137
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: I just love the act of the earth kind of

138
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: doing its thing in the summer. So I'm trying to

139
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: engage more and just have a better time this summer,

140
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: which I think is also helping. And I realized this year,

141
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: which is probably something I should have realized when I

142
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: lived in Alaska, but I think I have seasonal effective

143
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 2: disorder because I bought a sad lamp and it also

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: changed my life. So now that it's sunny, I feel like,

145
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: oh okay, Like I'm definitely someone who's affected by a

146
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: lack of sunshine. Yeah, so I definitely have like just

147
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: been making these small changes, and I'm trying to like

148
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: be outside and be in the sun and like, even

149
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: though I don't like being sweaty or hot or gross,

150
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: just appreciating the things that I can appreciate about summer,

151
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: which is, you know, I get to see people more,

152
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: I get to travel more, it's easier to move around

153
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: and I like that. So that's all just been great

154
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: and helpful.

155
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: Well, and you talked about this briefly last episode, and

156
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: I was too busy talking about how big of a monster.

157
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: I was to my family during that like camping trip

158
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: that you kind of brought it up, and then I

159
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: had like one hundred and five questions about it. But

160
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: then we just never talked about it. But I just

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: was curious. So, you you know, obviously traveling is a

162
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: big part of like this, you know, newfound happiness is

163
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: was there anything particular about your trips or maybe even

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: one trip that was like kind of a moment where

165
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, I'm feeling good like this, like

166
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: this is the cure or whatever.

167
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's another thing that's wild. I think I'm

168
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 2: kind of witchy in this way, like I manifest things

169
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: very easily. So I decided a couple of months ago,

170
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: like right at this, right at the start of spring summer,

171
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm coming out of retirement. I'm fucking

172
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: people this year, Like that's what's happening, Like dust off,

173
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: Like knock the dust off. I'm coming out of retirement.

174
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: It's bone time. It's gonna fucking happen.

175
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: You made this analogy once about how you were like

176
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: rolling the boulder in front of the cave entrance or whatever.

177
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: I take that like pushing that like Mossy Rocky boulder

178
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: away from the hole. Ah, and like birds and should

179
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: that have been nesting in there? Like what the fuck?

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: We didn't know this?

181
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: We made a home here. What's happening? Spiders are crawling out?

182
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: But like, truly, I just made the decision that, like

183
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm coming out of retirement, like there's no reason why

184
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 2: I have to force myself to be alone in this world.

185
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it was, and because

186
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: it's been my choice up to this point, I feel

187
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: like for so much of that time, and we're talking

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: like nearly a decade, it was really helpful and necessary

189
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: for me to be alone. And I'm still alone, don't worry,

190
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: but like it was necessary for me to be alone

191
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: and to make it a part of my personality and lifestyle.

192
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: But just like with the anger and the you know,

193
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: do an extra credit on fucking COVID and all that shit,

194
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: I went way too hard with the being alone and

195
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: just kind of decided, like you know, at thirty six

196
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: years old, just kind of decided like, well, that's it.

197
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that anymore. Like I was

198
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 2: just you know, I took all my hurt and pain

199
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: and anger and just turned it into a little fucking

200
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: rock and just let it sink down to the bottom

201
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: of my fucking soul. And I was like, uh, Nope,

202
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: done with that. But I don't think that's I don't

203
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: think that's how I need to be anymore like I

204
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: think that I don't know. I think part of what's

205
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: part of my happiness is realizing that there are good

206
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: people in the world, and some of them are datable.

207
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: And I will say this that if you are an

208
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: American woman who has been single for a long time

209
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: and frustrated looking at the landscape of dating, leave the

210
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: fucking country as quick as you can. I don't care

211
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: where you go. There is something truly weird and bad

212
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: about American men that is missing in other countries. I'm

213
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: not saying that other countries don't have their shit when

214
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: it comes to dudes, right, but there is something truly

215
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 2: that should be studied about American men that I do

216
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: not find is present in a lot of other places.

217
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: So it has been lovely, and I think part of

218
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: my happiness is when I go out into the world

219
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: and I meet people, because I just talk to anybody.

220
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: I talk to dolls, I'll talk to babies, like I

221
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: talk to anybody. Men are not threatened by me the

222
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: way that they are threatened by me in America. So

223
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: when they hear what I do for a living, and

224
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: I always play it down because I'm not just like, hey,

225
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm the best, what the fuck? I'm just like, yeah,

226
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: I'm a writer. And they're like, that's so cool that you, like,

227
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: are an artist who makes a living, And I'm like,

228
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: wait what. And they don't ask me to get them

229
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: a job, and they don't ask me for anything. They

230
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: just like want to know about my life, which is

231
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: truly revolutionary compared to what I get here in the States.

232
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: And again, I know I'm painting it with a wide brush,

233
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: but that has been my experience so often over the

234
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: last decade that it turned me off completely, yeah, from dating,

235
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: because I'm like, this is not what I want. I

236
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: don't want to drag a man through life. And if

237
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: this is what they're coming at me with in the

238
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: first conversation, we're not having a second one, right.

239
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

240
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: So it's been lovely, lovely, well.

241
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: And I think situationally too, Like, you know, there's something

242
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: to be said for being on a trip and being

243
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: on a vacation or just being not in your normal,

244
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, circumstance. I feel like there's a lightness sometimes,

245
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: and there's also kind of like a willingness to kind

246
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: of be do something different. I mean, obviously your brain

247
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: has told itself, hey, I've decided to leave the confines

248
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: of my you know, my house and everything that I

249
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: know to do something different. So maybe your brain also says, hey,

250
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: I would talk to this person in this country because

251
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm like out of my element and I'm just like

252
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: feeling the moment. But then I think it's also too

253
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: that American men's again.

254
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: I think it's because you know, you're also planting yourself

255
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: in a different culture, in a different society, and there's

256
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: a different you know, kind of respect for or reaction

257
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 2: to women culturally in other places that I think we

258
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: don't get here. And we just have so much going

259
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 2: on in America that it's also nice to go to

260
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: places where they're like, yeah, we're kind of upset about

261
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: like housing prices going up in this but it's not

262
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: like we're having fucking riots in the streets. We're not

263
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 2: worried about getting shot if we go to the grocery store.

264
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: It's nice to be in a place where they can

265
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: just live, and I think that changes the mentality of

266
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people as well, where they're like, oh,

267
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: we don't have an extreme level of stress every single

268
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: day of our fucking lives. So that's kind of nice

269
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: to be met with too. But yeah, it was nice.

270
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Like I was just like, I'm fucking done with, you know,

271
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: just locking myself down and forcing myself to be alone

272
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: because I don't want to do the work of like

273
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: wading through and finding one dude in this goddamn nation

274
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: out of you know, thousands that I can even have

275
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: a conversation with. So I'm just like, I'm not doing it.

276
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to date internationally. Yeah, and I'm going to

277
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: fuck internationally. And I think that was a show in

278
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 2: the nineties International Fucks or whatever that's a.

279
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Split off of Minny Day Fiance, Did I Beyonce fuck Internationally?

280
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: But I have to be honest with you, like, I mean,

281
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: you're saying all this, and then I think the last

282
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: two times I went abroad and it was not the vibe,

283
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: Like like the last time I went it was thirty degrees.

284
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: There were train strikes all over Europe, so I just

285
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: wasn't feeling particularly sensual, I guess. And then the time

286
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: before I was with my mom and dad, so god, no, no,

287
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: and it was like I was too busy renting a

288
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: car in Italy and driving across the country two times.

289
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: While my mom and dad were like, you know, shit

290
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: handling it. They were like, so I just wasn't the

291
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: two times the last two times I would have broad

292
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: it was not the vibe. But I will say, for

293
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: whatever comes next, the next time I go abroad, it

294
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: is definitely going to be I'm going to like, now

295
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I will understand why people meet husbands and wives that

296
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: like resorts and say, because like I want to go

297
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: to a resort, I want to actually relax. I don't

298
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: want to plan the stuff. I just want to like

299
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: sit in a chair and flirt with people.

300
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And that's all it is. That's all it is.

301
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: Like the fact that I even wanted to flirt was

302
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: a shocking thing to me, and I didn't realize I

303
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: was doing it, but I was like, oh, oh, let

304
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: me meet what's happening.

305
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about you, bitch. You do

306
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: not know how charming you are, and I have seen

307
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: your ass in action, like you say that you don't

308
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: know how to flirt, but your body language, your tone,

309
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: everything else says way different. And I don't know if

310
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: it's because you personally dissociate while you're like in the moment,

311
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: but like, I've seen you in action, and you charm

312
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: the fuck out of everybody who talk to Like even

313
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: when you came to Atlanta and we did that thing

314
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: at Kars Books and we were just like out to dinner,

315
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: like everybody around us was like, who is she? Who

316
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: is she? Who is she? Like you know you, I

317
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: don't know. You just have that way about you. And

318
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: I know that you probably don't know that, but I'm

319
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: telling you, as your friend, you do.

320
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: Thank you for pointing that out. I did not know

321
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: that about myself, and now I will be paying much

322
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: more attention to it. Not in a bad way, but

323
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: just I think it's interesting because I don't think of

324
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: myself that way at all. But I do like to

325
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: talk to people, and I think that is often read

326
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: as people are not accustomed to that, like the world over,

327
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: I think that is I'm definitely an anomaly in that

328
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: way where I will just talk to someone but they

329
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: love like everyone, you know, you kind of catch the vibe,

330
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: and I think people like being talked to or talked

331
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: with and they just kind of are excited that somebody

332
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: wants to know about them. And you know, I'm pretty

333
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: friendly and non threatening, so yeah, I definitely flirt. I'm

334
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: a flirt.

335
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm all about it, dude. Like I have always been

336
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: on team friendly. Sorry, And I don't know if it's

337
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: because I'm Southern or something, but like, you know, there's

338
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: all these memes on social media all the time about

339
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: people who just like love being grumpy, love, you know,

340
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: canceling plans, love not talking to people, and you know,

341
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: like it's the thing where they're you know, it's like

342
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: a picture of like a grumpy cat or something, and

343
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: they're like, that's me. I hate people. I hate talking.

349
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: When you give me a little wink, I fucking appreciate

350
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: that shit. Respectful flirting is like put it in veins.

351
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,399

393
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: fucking American animal, and I'm.

394
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: Like, what's up? You want to make out the fock's

Speaker 1: going on?

396
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, maybe I should tame it a

397
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 2: little bit, just tone it down a little bit. But yeah,

398
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 2: I don't mind telling somebody I like them, what the

399
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: fuck like we're all gonna die one day, and I'm

400
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: inching closer to it every fucking day, and like, I

401
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 2: don't have time to be like, do even like me?

402
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: Do I like you? And this is also why I'm

403
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: not on the apps, Like I don't get joy from

404
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: the apps for this reason, because that is it's too

405
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: aggressive on the apps, where it's like, let's fuck it.

406
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't even know your name, Like I

407
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: don't even know your real name, so that's too aggressive

408
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 2: for me. But I think once I start to get

409
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 2: to know someone and I like them, there's no reason

410
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: for me to be shy about like I like you. Yeah.

411
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: Fuck, that's a good way to be. I love that. Well,

412
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm so happy for you. This is gonna be the

413
00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: best summer ever. Look, people, summer. You know what we're

414
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: doing here for the next I don't know, a couple months.

415
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: I would say we are like diving headfirst into like

416
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: fun movies, fun themes. Last week's episode with the Alien

417
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: Comedies was a fucking blast. We had a bunch of

418
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: fun and the train keeps on rolling because this week

419
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: we have a theme that is so fun and dead

420
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: Yellow has to say the name of it. And the

421
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: subtitle of it.

422
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: This one's got levels, This one's got levels. Yes, our

423
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: theme this week is let's turn this coffee table into

424
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: a cage fight. And the subgenre here is movies that

425
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: made little kids want to kick each other in the face.

426
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 1: It made grown women want to kick people in the face.

427
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: I E me A, I am pumped after I saw

428
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: the Yeah, I watched these as a true double feature.

429
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: Me too.

430
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 2: I have not laughed that hard and I have not

431
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: wanted to kick something so much in my life.

432
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: In the eighties, martial arts was like a huge thing,

433
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: especially for kids. Every guy I knew in my like

434
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: middle school took karate. Well, I had to say, not

435
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: all of them. Only a specific type of guy took karate.

436
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: Like there was other guys that were into like football

437
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: and basketball and stuff, and I feel like there was

438
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: like a little group of guys that were like karate guys,

439
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: and I was always fascinated by them.

440
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, they were the guys who would grow up to

441
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: own snakes.

442
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, there was like some kind of like spirituality

443
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: to these guys that was not in the football, basketball,

444
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: baseball guys. I'll I'll just throw that out there, but

445
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: I feel like it was a good era for like

446
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: martial arts movies obviously, like stuff like The Karate Kid,

447
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: and also wrestling, so it was like a big thing,

448
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: which is not what we're talking about obviously, but there

449
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: was also like people were willing to kind of like,

450
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, the kids loved anything involving fights and

451
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, hand to hand combat in some kind of way.

452
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: Oh, we were look we sought it out at every turn.

453
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: If your teacher left the classroom for three minutes, maybe

454
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: they were going to get water, maybe they were going

455
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: to a supply closet or something. If they left the

456
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: classroom for three minutes, they would come back to find

457
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: people impaled under desks, like an eraser shoved in their

458
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 2: fucking mouth, like just blood. It was mayhem. We looked

459
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: for any reason to turn anything into a weapon or

460
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 2: a platform for fighting. We were outside all day every day,

461
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: and we had to figure out what the fuck to

462
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: do with our time because we did not have a

463
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: lot of toys, like physical things that we could either

464
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: bring outside with us or wanted to bring outside with us,

465
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: because we knew our friends would demolish anything that we

466
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: actually like brought outside to play with. So we had

467
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: to figure it out. And what better way to figure

468
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: out how to do something than to pick up a

469
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: branch and pretend it's a goddamn katana, Yeah, and start

470
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: wailing on your neighbor Kurt and maybe breaking his finger,

471
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: which I one hundred percent did what I won hundred percent.

472
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: I think actually I sprained it. He sprained his finger.

473
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: I did not know this about you at all, and

474
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: I know you broke a kid's finger.

475
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: And I knocked the wind out of him too. I

476
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: knocked the wind out of like three dudes in my

477
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: neighborhood because I'm like, we're just playing, and I would

478
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: just start to kick and punch. I didn't care where

479
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: I landed. And sorry, Tommy, you're getting a fucking wind

480
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: knocked at you today.

481
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: You are my queen. You are my queen. I would

482
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: have worshiped you if we knew each other in like

483
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: elementary or middle school.

484
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: I was a beast mode twenty four to seven in

485
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: the summer kid, and it was great because I would

486
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: watch something on TV, like one of our movies and

487
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 2: then be like, all I need is two chairs and

488
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to do this split like.

489
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: I need a lot of Yeah, I have so much

490
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: to say about these splits. You have no idea.

491
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I take a lot, you know, like it didn't

492
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,479
Speaker 2: take a lot, and we had so much hormonal like

493
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: shit pumping through our bodies anyway that I feel like

494
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: it was just a natural extension of growing up that

495
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: like we didn't know what to do with our feelings

496
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: or hormones, so we just hit each other.

497
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely think it was a lack of things

498
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: to do. And I just think generally, like you know,

499
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: pre internet kids maybe were more physical and did more

500
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: physical things. And I mean, if it wasn't like building

501
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: clubhouses and forts and stuff like that, it was like

502
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: using branches to try to swat at each other's heads,

503
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: kicking other kids in the face, and that that's that's

504
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: that was the joy of the summer.

505
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: Really.

506
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, furniture.

507
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: Furniture was the best. If you ever were allowed inside

508
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: with your friends to play, everything became a weapon. The couch,

509
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 2: the coffee table, the chairs, everything, Yeah, became a weapon.

510
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 2: Like just leaping off of the arm of a sofa.

511
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: Is is that not the best feeling in the world,

512
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: Just launching yourself at one of your friends off the

513
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 2: arm of a sofa.

514
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, or like practicing like roundhouse kicks on your parents'

515
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: bed or something like just trying to get trying to

516
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: get massive air while kicking and then just like landing

517
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: on their mattress and then your parents screaming at you

518
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: for ruining their bed.

519
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm just picturing you like leaping from a dresser trying

520
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: to get a high kick, which my brother did once.

521
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: He tried to from a dresser, but when he like

522
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: kicked back after he jumped, like the dresser fell over

523
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: and like we couldn't pick it up.

524
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: I was like, fuck, sorry, bomb, Yeah you can. Only

525
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: there were limits to it. If you if you destroyed

526
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: something in the house, that's it. You weren't able to

527
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: do that kind of shit anymore. So you had to

528
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: be really careful. But I am so excited to talk

529
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: about these two films. I am going on first as

530
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: week as you are. Holy shit, we're gonna have a blast.

531
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: You already know what I want to talk about because

532
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: I texted.

533
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: You absolutely and I am I am ready to hit

534
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: that ball back to you. Holy shit. Well my movie

535
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: for the theme, Let's turn this coffee table into a

536
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: cage fight aka this Movie Made Little Kids Kick each

537
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: Other in the Face is a movie from nineteen eighty eight.

538
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: It was written by Christopher Crosbie, Mel Friedman and Sheldon Leeditch,

539
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: directed by Nude Arnold, and it's called Blood Sport. I

540
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: don't come this smart bag, dude. Okay. First of all,

541
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: I have to say, alternate theme this week is that

542
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: Bolo Young is in both of our.

543
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Movies exactly so, which is and he looks the same

544
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: in both of our movies, which is amazing, dude.

545
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: I was like, these movies are more than a decade apart,

546
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: and he looks exactly the same.

547
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: It is wild. He's unmistakable.

548
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Definitely, we'll get into him later, I'm sure, but I

549
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: just wanted to point that out in case anybody was

550
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: about to fire off a comment. So I want to talk.

551
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta talk a little bit about Cannon

552
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Films because that's the production company that made Blood Sport,

553
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: and I think I've talked about them before. If I have,

554
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: I apologize, but they hold a very very special place

555
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: in my heart. Cannon Films was essentially a film distribution

556
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: company and studio. They were most famously owned by these

557
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: two Israeli wild Men who were cousins, and they produced

558
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: some of the finest, funniest and funnest B movies pretty

559
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: much ever. And they especially did a lot of work

560
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: in like the action realm Okay, I have to point

561
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: people if you don't know what I'm talking about, if

562
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: you don't have never heard of Cannon Films, there's this

563
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: really super duper fun documentary that came out in like

564
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. I think it's called Electric Boogloo The Wild

565
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: Untold Story of Cannon Films. It is a mussy It

566
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: is like the funnest documentary you will ever see. Ever.

567
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: It's super fun. Yes, talk to all about the cousins.

568
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: They interview like the greatest people. I mean, it's like

569
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: they get like Bo Derek to talk about like Ballero.

570
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it. It is amazing the amount

571
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: of people they have in this documentary. And it's just

572
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: like talks about like this era almost of like the

573
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: eighties and like the Ninja films, Like there was like

574
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: multiple ninja series happening, you know, in the eighties with Cannon.

575
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: But then they did Blood Sport, which essentially is like

576
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: one of my favorite canon films ever. Also, I mentioned

577
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: this at like the top of the episode maybe, but

578
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: I guess it didn't really occur to me until I

579
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: was doing research. Blood Sport was apparently this huge influence

580
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: on the development of MMA and really you know, mixed

581
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: martial arts if you don't know what I'm talking about.

582
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: And I did very quick research on this, So MMA, people,

583
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: please do not come at me, like please, I.

584
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: Am literally figuratively terrible in fighting.

585
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: Do not fight me. But it basically kind of got

586
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: perfected after this movie came out, or at least like

587
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: the kind of MMA stuff that we know in America

588
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: like right now. Like, I feel like the UFC was

589
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: only really created in the early nineties. I think it

590
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: was created in like nineteen ninety three or something, and

591
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: for some reason, it just was like, oh, I guess, yeah,

592
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: I guess mixed martial arts fighting was only really like

593
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: popularized in the nineties, and it feels like it's put

594
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: around forever.

595
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 2: No, that totally makes sense because we heard so much

596
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: about kickboxing specifically in the nineties, yes, and then MMA

597
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: kind of took over all of that, like because it

598
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: combines so many elements of kickboxing with everything else. Yeah,

599
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: so that totally makes sense. To me.

600
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, and it's also too, it's so funny to me

601
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: that blood Sport is responsible for so many different things,

602
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: because blood Sport is so ridiculous, like as a film,

603
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: And I say that with all love and respect. You

604
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: know me, I'm not trashing this film in that like

605
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: kind of you know, I'm high above it, Like I'm

606
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: this isn't real cinema type of shit. I'm not that

607
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: type of person, you know what I mean. So what

608
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this movie is so ridiculous and funny. It's

609
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: not I'm not being mean. I'm being Oh, you're not

610
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: being mean at all.

611
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: Yes, especially since this whole theme was your idea, like

612
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: you wanted to watch this movie so badly that we created.

613
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: You're definitely not denigrating it at all. Yes, but you

614
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: can point out that it's not a great movie, like

615
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: you're not coming to this movie for the dialogue, but

616
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: it's still fucking fun.

617
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's so funny that this movie is responsible

618
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: for like the MMA basically. But also I also read

619
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: that this movie was also the inspiration for Mortal Kombat

620
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: the video game, which I was obsessed with Mortal Kombat

621
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: in high school. Did you play the original licoral combat.

622
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: Dude Findell was my girl, Raydon Wins that was my shit.

623
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: Like I played Mortal Kombat like pretty much every day

624
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: after school with at my friend Lisa's house, and I

625
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: like it was such a like formative video game for

626
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: a lot of kids, Like yes, you know, it just

627
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: was like I remember street Fighter. I think street Fighter

628
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: predated Mortal Kombat, and I remember playing street Fighter at

629
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: this is for you military kids, You're gonna know what

630
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I was at the BX with my parents.

631
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: They were shopping and I was in the lobby playing

632
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: street Fighter like a arcade style, But then Mortal Kombat

633
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: felt like it was everything about street Fighter but just

634
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: better completely.

635
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: I never really got into street Fighter. I think it

636
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 2: just it always felt too it was almost too aggressive

637
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: and not cartoonish enough. But it was also all dudes.

638
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: I think it was like every player was like this

639
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: beefed up dude, and I'm like, I don't know. But

640
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: then when Mortal Kombat came on the scene, and I

641
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I could be a kick assid lady

642
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 2: and a kicking lady. I'm doing it.

643
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: And also it was like so traumatic, like scary, like

644
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: I remember just like you know, the whole announcer with

645
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: like his whole like finish him. Yeah, And it was

646
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: like a lot of fireballs and a lot of like

647
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: scary kind of fonts, and it was like, what was

648
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: it called when you like absolutely fucking destroyed somebody was like,

649
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, totality or finality or something.

650
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 2: Fatality, the fucking fatality where all of a sudden, you're kicking, punching,

651
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: their head comes off, you rip their spine out of

652
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 2: their body.

653
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: Like it was insane, Yes, ripping the spine out of

654
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: someone's body. It was so good.

655
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: Why of them on actual fire and then their their

656
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 2: bones would just fall into a pile.

657
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Like.

658
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: The characters were so good and it was such a

659
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 2: much more for me enjoyable video game than Street Fighter.

660
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it got upped a huge amount from Street Fighter.

661
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I got this blood Sport helped create

662
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 1: that idea for pooral combat, which I think is really funny.

663
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: There's some other amazing details about blood Sport that we

664
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: got to talk about right now. We got to talk

665
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: about Frank Dukes. Okay, So blood Sport was based on

666
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: an article that was written about this martial arts expert

667
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: and fight choreographer named Frank Dukes. So in the early

668
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, there was this article or a series of

669
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: articles that were written about him in this publication called

670
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: black Belt Magazine, which apparently is like the New York

671
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: Times for people who are into martial arts. I saw

672
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: it referenced several times across different articles. It was like, Dude,

673
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: black Belt Magazine is a huge publication.

674
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: It's like finding out that, like there's there's an actual

675
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: magazine called Space News or something for astronogy, Like wait, what.

676
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: It reminds me of that Patentall's while joke about the

677
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: p his Drinkers magazine, likes there's a specific magazine for

678
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: everybody's interest, and black Belt Magazine is for people in

679
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: the martial arts. But so obviously the character from the

680
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: movie Blood Sport is named after this guy, and so

681
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: the story about Frank Dukes, who was still alive by

682
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: the way, he and this is all stuff that I

683
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: read about him online. Okay, he had been specially trained

684
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:31,399
Speaker 1: in ninjitsu by this expert name Senzo Tanaka. I think

685
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: that name carries over to the film as well. So Frank,

686
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: as a young person was trained by Senzo Tanaka, and

687
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: he later went on to be in the Marine Corps Reserve.

688
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: And while he was in the military, apparently he received

689
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: the Medal of Honor. At one point he was in

690
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: the CIA and he was tapped to like participate in

691
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: these like really high level classified, secret ops type stuff.

692
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: And most importantly, Rank Duke's talked about participating in a

693
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: Kuma Ta, which was essentially this kind of top secret

694
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: global fighting competition of like all the best fighters in

695
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: the world. Apparently it took place in the Bahamas in

696
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. Okay, now you know all that, and

697
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: that is essentially the basis of the film Blood Sport. However,

698
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: according to many many articles that came up if you

699
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: just google it, it'll come up if you google the

700
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: name Frank Dukes, a lot of information comes up. Apparently most,

701
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: if not all of these facts that I just have

702
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: told you have been disputed or otherwise rendered unprovable. Okay,

703
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: like he's just lying through his teeth, like I'm in.

704
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 2: A Kumba te and they're like, what right.

705
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: And apparently there's like no record of Senzo Tanaka, there's

706
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: no record of his training with him. Apparently he had

707
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: been in the military but like all of that exciting stuff,

708
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: like the you know, Medal of Honor and all that

709
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: stuff was completely untrue. This is again based on the

710
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: articles that I read, and apparently like he wasn't even abroad,

711
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: like he was in the Marine Corps, but he never

712
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: went outside of the United States.

713
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 2: What's amazing about this is like all of this is

714
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: provable or denounceable, right, Like if you use the military,

715
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: they keep records in the military, I know, and like most.

716
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: Importantly, there's pretty much no record of this Kuma Ta

717
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: ever happened. And I know what you're thinking, Oh, it's

718
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: a secret event. Of course, nobody's gonna tell about it,

719
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: which is like I think we know at this point

720
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: that like if you have some even top secret global

721
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: fighting events, someone's gonna talk. Someone's gonna be like, oh,

722
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: I was in the kumat Oops, like someone will say it.

723
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people were doing the research into

724
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: into like what this was and where it was, and

725
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: like who was there. Nobody could find a flyer, nobody

726
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: could find anybody that was there. There was nothing, And

727
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: strangely enough, Frank Duke's always maintained that the Kumatate organizers

728
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: or whomever created this thing conveniently gave him and only him,

729
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: permission to even talk about it. So that's convenient that

730
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: he's the only person who could talk about it.

731
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 2: And then of the theme of let's turn this coffee

732
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 2: table into a cage fight, there was always that one

733
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: kid who was like, I'm the only one who can

734
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 2: make the rules. I'm the only one who can do this,

735
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: and that kid grew up to come to become Frank Dukes.

736
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: Yes, essentially, and like and like, at some point somebody

737
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: actually came forward and was like, I was there. But

738
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: then that person or those couple people who claimed to

739
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: have been there eventually admitted that they were coached by

740
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: Frank Dukes to say that it had existed. So it's like,

741
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: it's just so fascinating, and I just encourage y'all to

742
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: go on that rabbit hole, like, just go down that

743
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: rabbit hole. Of of all of this information, there's been

744
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: many articles about it. So essentially the concept of this

745
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: movie is based on a true life person whose story

746
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: has been completely fabricated allegedly, So there you go. Okay,

747
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: so now we have all that information, let's talk about

748
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: the star of blood Sport. Okay, Muscles from Brussels as

749
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: he's called Jean Claude van Dam. This was his entry

750
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: into kind of like the American movie mainstream, right, and

751
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: I have to say he is young, he has ripped

752
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: to shreds, he has his original teeth like it is

753
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: like Primetime J. C. Ved right, and he plays Frank

754
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: Duke's essentially in the film. You also have an actor

755
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: named Donald Gibb who everybody knows is Ogre from the

756
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: Revenge of the Nerds movies. He his character but friends

757
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 1: Frank abroad. He's basically like a biker kind of character.

758
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: And he's probably besides fors Whittaker is probably the only

759
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: other actual actor film. I mean, and the other guy

760
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: that plays like Force Whittaker's partner, maybe they're these guys

761
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: know how to act. Well, let's just put that there.

762
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: There's only like a couple of people that actually know

763
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: how to act in this film. So let me give

764
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: a one sentenced synopsis of blood Sport. An American military

765
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: man who just happens to be trained as a deadly

766
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: martial arts expert is brought to Hong Kong to compete

767
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: in a secret fighting championship.

768
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 2: Also, at no point was it question that he was

769
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: from Belgium. He's just like in the American military, like

770
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 2: flat out.

771
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: You know, I did appreciate Actually, let me save that,

772
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: let me save us for what I'm about to say.

773
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: So you're, yeah, you may be asking yourself now, like

774
00:42:53,640 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: how did this Belgian guy living in America become a ninja? Ah?

775
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: That sentence is the greatest sentence ever spoken on his.

776
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: Well. So, as per of the film, in childhood, Frank

777
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: Duke's and his middle school friends, they decide to one

778
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: day crawl into a random stranger's window just to steal

779
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 1: a sword. Okay, and so Frank is the only kid

780
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: that gets caught, and he's caught by the father who

781
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 1: lives there. And then after he gets caught, the family

782
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: just adopts him basically, Like it's like they.

783
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: Have a little conversation with his dad and they're like, look,

784
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 2: you came here to give your kids a better life.

785
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 2: We came here to give our kids a better life.

786
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: Why don't we just take your kid and put him

787
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 2: in our family.

788
00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: Yes, And so now his new dad is basically a

789
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: sense named Senzo Tanaka, and he kind of just like

790
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: I mean, there's actually a point of the film where

791
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: like sense like goes to his parents' house and his life.

792
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking your son. He's gonna live with me and

793
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: train with me, and they're like, okay, fine, that happened

794
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: very quickly, but I guess they thought to do that

795
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: in the film. But so you know, Tanaka begins to

796
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: sort of teach Frank how to be in Ninja alongside

797
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: his own biological son. And the funniest part about this

798
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: is that his actual son, who's also like in middle

799
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: school or something like that, just starts kicking Frank in

800
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: the stomach in the head a bunch. It's just like,

801
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: welcome brother, I'm gonna kick you in the face.

802
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 2: Ah, here's a welcome kick to your fucking nuts.

803
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

804
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: I also love that this part of the movie is

805
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 2: told completely in flashback, and there's a point where every

806
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 2: once in a while they'll flashback to present day Jeon

807
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 2: Claude van Dam's face and he's just in the same

808
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: post staring off into space while this like forty minute

809
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 2: fucking backstory is happening. It is hilarious.

810
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: The serious moments of this film are so fucking funny,

811
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: you're just gonna have to get used to that. Like

812
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: if you've come for, you know, a serious time. It's

813
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: not gonna happen for you. Like all of these like

814
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: pensive serious moments are so bad and funny. I'm just obsessed.

815
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, in flashback, including this one flashback where I

816
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: guess Frank has sort of learned how to fight a

817
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: little bit, and then he starts beating up kids at

818
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: his school. And while this is happening, there's a little

819
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: boy in the background who is wearing a Bartles and

820
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: James T shirts.

821
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: I need a full, like vice level, like a history

822
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 2: oral history of just that fucking kid Bartle's and James

823
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 2: T shirt on like a ten year old.

824
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: I was like, this kid knows how to party. Then

825
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:24,240
Speaker 1: I was like, do you remember the Bartles and James commercials? Yes,

826
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: as a kid with those two like old folksy guys. Yes,

827
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

828
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 2: I'm like I thought it was juice. I'm like, why

829
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: are these old men? Because every other beer and why

830
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: every other commercial for alcohol was like party time, let's

831
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: jump in a pool and drink a Budweiser. And there's

832
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 2: these two old guys on this porch, and I'm like,

833
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: is this juice? What is this shit? No?

834
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: It was like malt liquor or whatever. I don't even

835
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: know it's a wine cooler. Why Coler, that's right. I

836
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: was like, what is even Bartles and James I remember

837
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: the bottles, and then I'm like, you're absolutely right. I

838
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: was like, in what Spuds Mackenzie Universe is an alcohol

839
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 1: company saying like, let's get these two old guys to

840
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: promote these wine coolers. Oh god, it was.

841
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: I don't know why that moment is so embedded in

842
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 2: my fucking head because it's just it was so normal

843
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 2: back then, but it is so funny now that this

844
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 2: kid was just like his dad was probably like, yeah,

845
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: I got this at the fucking liquor store. I won

846
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 2: some I went around a keynote and they fucking gave

847
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 2: me this T shirt.

848
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. He shows up the next day in some like

849
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 1: Newport shorts, Like he's just dad is just like a

850
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: liquor and cigarette distributor and gets free shit all the time.

851
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: And it's like put it on a kid, send him

852
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: to school.

853
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: Oh god, I love it so much. That singular moment

854
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: is just all.

855
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: That's the moment you texted me about. And I screamed

856
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: because I was I was like, are we gonna talk

857
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: about this kid. Oh yeah, I totally noticed that too.

858
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: So sadly, uh, Sense's biological sun dies, okay, and so

859
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 1: now it's like j. C VB comes to step in

860
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: to kind of like replace him, plays his legacy. So

861
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: then you know, the Sense kind of kicks the trading

862
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: in the high gear, you know, decides that that Frank

863
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: is worthy enough of learning the lessons, and then you

864
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: know there's all of this like entire trading sequence that

865
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: goes on for minutes and is so funny. At one point,

866
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: like I guess as part of the training, Frank has

867
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: to serve tea blindfolded Yeah, okay, I guess that means something,

868
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: means he's good at something. There's also like that one

869
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: part of him like trying to grab fish out of

870
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: the coy pond. It's a lot of a lot of

871
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: funny trading stuff happening. This was the moment, by the

872
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,919
Speaker 1: way of the film, because I had seen this film

873
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 1: a long time ago, but I haven't seen it, you know,

874
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: in the at least in the last ten years where

875
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I just stop the the movie and

876
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: look up just how much money it took to make

877
00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: this film, and I was fucking shocked they made this

878
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: film for like one point five million dollars. Basically hard

879
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: to believe that the Cannon the Cannon Boys paid that

880
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 1: much to make this movie because it actually looks like

881
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: it was made for a lot.

882
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: It looks like it was made in my backyard for

883
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 2: three hundred dollars.

884
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it just really hit me at this moment.

885
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,240
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, they did have money technically.

886
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: For this film.

887
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: So cut to Frank as it rode up. You know,

888
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: he's in the military. He then subsequently runs away from

889
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: the military to do this kumate. Okay, he goes a

890
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: wall and because that because of that, these like military

891
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: intelligence agents, one of whom is again played by Forrest Whitaker,

892
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: they are tasked to go to Hong Kong and get him. Okay,

893
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: so know that that's what's going on with Frank. So

894
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: Frank shows up in Hong Kong and I swear to god,

895
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: he's wearing the tightest, deepest scoop neck T shirt. The

896
00:49:54,960 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: titties is out on Frank, Like, did you notice how

897
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 1: how that shirt was was hanging on his chest? It

898
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: was barely a shirt.

899
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: It's like a thread, Like just go shirtless for fuck's sake,

900
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: this is style.

901
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: It looked like a cover bund with like suspenders. It

902
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 1: didn't even look like a shirt. It was so funny.

903
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: His entire chest is pretty much out. And then you know,

904
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: while he's there, he befriends the Donald Gibb character. They

905
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: become like best friends with like a loyalty pact that

906
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: transcends the ages.

907
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

908
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: And then also this local guy named Vic who is

909
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 1: kind of the like comic relief he's he's kind of

910
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: the guy that's kind of given him, giving him both

911
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: the uh local information and the Kumata rules and that

912
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So I don't have to tell you

913
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: that the Kumte is essentially a competition that brings together

914
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: all of the deadliest motherfuckers on the planet. And as

915
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: part of this competition, you know, Frank is somehow his

916
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: authenticity is challenged. And then the officials are like, well,

917
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: if you're a real member of the Tanaka clan, you

918
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: have to prove it by doing the dim mock, which

919
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: is apparently the touch of death, which is essentially a

920
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: way to kill somebody just by like poking your finger

921
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: at them. It's like a point strike death kill like it's,

922
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, one of those things. And the sequence to

923
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: prove this, by the way, involves like stacks of bricks

924
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: or something, and then it's like Frank like just palms one.

925
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 1: He like palms the top one and then the bottom

926
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 1: just explodes. It's so much.

927
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: Force that it just reverberates through the bricks into the

928
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 2: last one.

929
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh shit, he has his dim mock

930
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,320
Speaker 1: where he can do it, like he's got to be

931
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: in this competition because he's really good. And also like

932
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: Jean Claude's faces, I swear to god are so good

933
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: like his his face like that, it's like the look

934
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: in his eyes like I cannot believe that I'm this

935
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: good martial arts. Oh my god. So of course there's

936
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: this American woman who is coming to Hong Kong and

937
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 1: she's like reporting on the Kumate and it's a big

938
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: secret and nobody's giving her info even after she bangs

939
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: out JCVD And the next morning we get this like

940
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: ass shot, This like JCVD ass shot where he's pulling

941
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: up his like jockey breaths and then you see like

942
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: the top part of his ass. I was like, okay,

943
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: like I see what you're doing with the deep scoop

944
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: neck and like the butt crack. I'm like, you're really

945
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: like selling JCVD in this film.

946
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: Right, And even then he's like thanks, yeah, I'm not

947
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 2: telling you anything.

948
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: Well she shows him because literally the next scene is

949
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: her showing up to the Kuba Ta dressed like Vana

950
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: White or whatever from Will of Fortune, and she's like

951
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: siled up to someth like Asian businessman and she's like

952
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 1: I got in. Oh my god, Well that's all it took.

953
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't know why you were wanting to do journalism

954
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: when you could just like dress like Vana White and

955
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: enter into the secret clandestine martial arts competition. So so

956
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: then you get into the meat of the film, which

957
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: is essentially this Kuma te. You know, there's a bunch

958
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: of different fighters and they all had their own different styles,

959
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: and I think this is eventually why this movie became

960
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: like influential to the MMA, because there's like different people

961
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: and it's like some people are doing like muy Thai,

962
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: some people are doing like Capueta, some people are doing

963
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: like jiu jitsu, and it's just kind of like everybody

964
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: kind of bringing their own flavor and it's very entertaining,

965
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: and Frank starts using his techniques on people too. Sometimes

966
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: he punches dudes in the tits. Sometimes it's in the balls.

967
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's just like, I'm gonna hug you so hard,

968
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: almost like I do with my nephews, except that he

969
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,439
Speaker 1: hopes that by doing that their brainds just pop out

970
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. And all the while nobody can act in

971
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: this thing in his glorious like it's just bad acting.

972
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: A lot of like funny looking moves, but also like,

973
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: like I said, dudes getting kicked in the balls, dudes

974
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: getting kicked in the face the one thing that is

975
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: so unbelievable about and this is like something it is

976
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,440
Speaker 1: a testament to like just how fit JCBD is. But

977
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: he does a lot of splits in this.

978
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the man is unstoppable when it comes

979
00:54:59,120 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 2: to splits.

980
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: He's doing splits zero caution or concern for his taint

981
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: or otherwise. And it happens so often that it almost

982
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: felt like the filmmakers were like, listen, we don't care

983
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: if he can act. Just get him in a split

984
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: off the ground preferably obviously his tat can take it.

985
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: This is his calling card. Get him in a split

986
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: on some chairs.

987
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:28,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I love how the Jackson character at one

988
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: point is like, yo, man, you gotta stop. You might

989
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 2: want to have kids one day. Yeah, it's like everyone

990
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: is like concerned for this man's package because he's always

991
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,280
Speaker 2: in a deep side split.

992
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were all thinking it, so thank you. We

993
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: were all thinking what he said. But also it did

994
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: it did make me go down like a YouTube rabbit

995
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: hole where I was like trying to figure out, like

996
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,959
Speaker 1: trying to find like tutorials about it. I'm like because

997
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: like everybody was like, like everything that I read about

998
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: like how he does it is that he's flexible. But

999
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, but also he has to have muscly quads.

1000
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 1: Like there's no way that he can sustain his body weight,

1001
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, on two chairs.

1002
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 2: And you know that's why it's such an intense move.

1003
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 2: And they exhibit it in the film when he's training

1004
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 2: with Tanaka and he is basically tied up with string

1005
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 2: in a full split and Tanaka is like, yeah, what

1006
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 2: you're gonna do and he squeezes his fucking legs together

1007
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 2: and pulls the steaks.

1008
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 1: Out of the ground. Yes.

1009
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, so you're strong, Okay, Yeah, you're very

1010
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 2: very strong, and.

1011
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: He lands on the ground too in the split, which

1012
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: I was like, yikes.

1013
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 2: Just no regard for that taint, no none.

1014
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: He's like, I feel nothing down here.

1015
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 2: I would be surprised if Jean Claude van Dam has

1016
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 2: not had seventeen episiotomies just for splits. He's the first

1017
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 2: and only, dude, I have multiple episiotomies.

1018
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: But it's such dude, it is such a like show,

1019
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: and of course he has to do it as much

1020
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: as he can, so it's great. But this is the thing.

1021
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: It goes through, It goes through, you know, the competition.

1022
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: The best one of the best parts for me. I

1023
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: love this part. I don't know why, but basically, like

1024
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, the Asians finally catch up to Frank in

1025
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: an alleyway in Hong Kong, and then they try to

1026
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: taser him, but then he magically comes up with like

1027
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: the top of a metal garbage can, like he was

1028
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: just like hanging out with Oscar the Grouch and he

1029
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: was like yes, and he just like deflects the taser

1030
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: and then the taser like shoots out and hits some

1031
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: police officers. But then you also have the epic scene

1032
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: with Chong Lee. Now Chang Lee, who is played by

1033
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: Bolo Yong. You know, he's kind of like the final boss, right, uh,

1034
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: because he's undefeated in the Kuba te There's at one

1035
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: point that Chang Lee, during that kind of epic battle

1036
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: between him and Frank, he like uses like this tablet

1037
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: like this like actual pill tablet and he kind of

1038
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 1: crushes it up, which I thought was like, is this ecstasy?

1039
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: What is he doing? But then he kind of like

1040
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: blows the dust into Frank's face, which blinds Frank, And

1041
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: the entire time that happened, I was like, guess what, bitch,

1042
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: didn't you see the scene from an hour ago where

1043
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: he served tea to people completely blind? Like this wagon

1044
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: like you play it yourself, dude. But I mean, honestly,

1045
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: like this movie is so fun as fuck. Like it's

1046
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: badly acted. Yes, the music is terrible.

1047
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 2: Isn't bad absolutely across the board, but yes, but it.

1048
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: Is so fun and the fighting is really fun. The

1049
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: splits are obviously like a huge part of that, like

1050
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: and it's just that thing where you're like, oh yeah,

1051
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: like you know JCVD would go on to become a

1052
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: huge global star obviously, but this was kind of like

1053
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: his origin story, which I don't know. It was really

1054
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: fun and I just love it. It is like the

1055
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: best one of the best canon trash, you know, action

1056
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: films of the eighties for me, and I know it's

1057
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: apparently very influential on a lot of different things, so

1058
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

1059
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm so glad you had us watch this. I

1060
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 2: haven't seen it in ages. And it made me laugh

1061
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 2: just as hard, if not harder, than it usually did.

1062
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 2: And it was just it's just so good. It's just

1063
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 2: it's good in that way of like pure comedy, good time,

1064
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 2: like hang out with brands, get a pizza and just relax.

1065
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: It's so fucking funny.

1066
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: Dude, I love it. Well, I listen. Compared to my movie,

1067
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: your movie is essentially like Citizen Kane.

1068
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 2: Oh god, Well, my movie is definitely influential and it

1069
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 2: has so many iconic scenes that you have absolutely seen

1070
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 2: replicated in other films. And my film was released in

1071
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy three. The screenplay is by Michael Allen and

1072
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: Bruce Lee, and it was directed by Robert Klaus. My

1073
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 2: movie is Enter the Dragon. What do you know? Aha?

1074
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: He lives like a king on that Island totally so

1075
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: sufficient time.

1076
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 2: Now, this movie was absolutely fucking foundational for me kicking

1077
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 2: people in the face and knocking the wind out of

1078
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 2: dudes when I was a kid because it was on

1079
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 2: WPIX Channel eleven all the time. There was always like

1080
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 2: fucking Karate Kung Fu, like all kinds of movies on

1081
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: in the afternoons on a Saturday, on a Friday, like

1082
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 2: during the summer, and I'm like, let me try to

1083
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 2: replicate all of this. There was so much from this

1084
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 2: particular movie that I was like, I'm doing it. That's

1085
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: my life now, but I'm gonna go. I'm like, I'll

1086
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 2: give you one synopsis of the film and then I'll

1087
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 2: talk about the movie and talk about Bristly a little

1088
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: bit before we get into the specifics. My one sentence

1089
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 2: synopsis is an ass kicking shaolin martial arts teacher is

1090
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: sent undercover to fight in a tournament and uncover the

1091
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 2: dazzardly deeds of a fucked up, one handed villain.

1092
01:00:59,320 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: Perfect.

1093
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot more that goes on, but that is

1094
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 2: just part of a big part of it. So this

1095
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 2: movie was actually Bruce Lee's last completed film, and it

1096
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 2: was released one month after his death. Most people think

1097
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 2: of it as the greatest martial arts film of all time,

1098
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: and I can absolutely co sign that. I think it

1099
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 2: is just like it's a cornerstone. It is foundational to

1100
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 2: martial arts movies, not just because of the intense amount

1101
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 2: of fighting that goes on, but it's like the style

1102
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 2: of fighting and who was actually fighting, and it's actually

1103
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 2: got a good storyline that It's actually got some pretty

1104
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 2: good actors in it. It's a great movie. And this

1105
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 2: is also the film that launched Jim Kelly's career. Jim

1106
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 2: Kelly plays Williams in the movie, and he went on

1107
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 2: to be like a huge blaxploitation and you know, martial

1108
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: arts star on the back of this film. And he

1109
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 2: wasn't the first choice to play Williams, but he had

1110
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 2: already been studying Judo I believe in Crenshaw, California, so

1111
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 2: he kind of was already in that world. So when

1112
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: the first choice actor dropped out, he was picked in

1113
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 2: it just again sent his career into hyper drive. The

1114
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 2: other thing that I really love about this movie is

1115
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 2: that it's intentionally diverse. They wanted to reach as many

1116
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 2: people as possible with this movie. Bruce Lee had made

1117
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: a bunch of films up to this point that we're

1118
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: gaining a popularity, and he was on the Green hornet

1119
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 2: and so this movie kind of got a lot of

1120
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 2: backing and a lot of support, and they wanted because

1121
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 2: of the backing that it got from the studios, they

1122
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 2: wanted it to be seen by as many people as possible.

1123
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 2: And that's something that always got to me about this movie.

1124
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 2: Also is like you could see like a black guy fighting,

1125
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 2: women were fighting, like it was ahead of its time

1126
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: in its scope. So I love this movie for that reason.

1127
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 2: And it's not Bruce Lee's last film. His last movie

1128
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 2: is Game of Death, but he died during that filming,

1129
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 2: so this is the last one that he completed. He's

1130
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 2: just amazing. We talked about him a little bit when

1131
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 2: and we were talking about his son, Brandon Lee when

1132
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,439
Speaker 2: we did The Crow a couple weeks a few weeks ago.

1133
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 2: But he Bruce Lee is the founder of jee Kundo.

1134
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 2: He was born in San Francisco. His father is actually

1135
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 2: a famous opera singer and I didn't know this, but

1136
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 2: he was on tour when Bruce Lee was born. That's

1137
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 2: why he has dual citizenship because they were on tour

1138
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 2: in San Francisco when his mother gave birth.

1139
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's interesting, yeah.

1140
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 2: Because he was an opera singer and as a kid,

1141
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 2: he was apparently a vicious street fighter. Like his dad

1142
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 2: used to get notes that were like, your son is

1143
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 2: really fighting in school and it's bad and if he

1144
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 2: gets into another fight, I might have to put him

1145
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 2: in jail. Like, he was definitely a vicious street fighter

1146
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 2: as a kid and always studied martial arts. And his

1147
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 2: parents eventually sent him to the States and they're like,

1148
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 2: you need to go somewhere else where you can stop

1149
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 2: beating people up, because they were from Hong Kong, and

1150
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,760
Speaker 2: so they sent him to the States and he went

1151
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 2: into college. He dropped out of college eventually, but he

1152
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 2: always wanted to be an actor, and when he moved

1153
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 2: to Seattle, he started teaching martial arts, you know, as

1154
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 2: well as studying it martial arts, And I think the

1155
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 2: first thing that kind of put him on the scene

1156
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 2: was the Long Beach International Karate Championship, which is where

1157
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 2: he showcased the one inch punch, which is not unlike

1158
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 2: the death death punch from your movie, Oh.

1159
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: The Denmock, Yeah, the Denmark.

1160
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 2: Because essentially and you should. If you have never seen

1161
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 2: a video of it, you should really watch a video

1162
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 2: where it's basically, you know, Bruce Lee is in a

1163
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 2: certain stance and he has his arm extended and without

1164
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 2: much without what looks like much force, he like can

1165
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 2: knock someone over essentially from like two inches away. It's

1166
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 2: fucking incredible. So yeah, that kind of put him on

1167
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 2: the scene. And then again he got cast, as you know,

1168
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 2: in The Green Hornet as a sidekick, but it put

1169
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 2: him on the scene in Hollywood. And throughout it all

1170
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 2: he really emphasized his fighting style, which he called it

1171
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 2: like the style of no style or fighting with no fighting,

1172
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 2: and he really got rid of the kind of formal

1173
01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 2: approach that most people took to martial arts and focused

1174
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 2: a lot more on the philosophy and kind of the

1175
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, the philosophical side of fighting. And again, really

1176
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 2: there's so much to read about him, you absolutely should.

1177
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 2: But one of the huge tragedies that while he was

1178
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 2: dubbing scenes for this movie and for The Dragon, he

1179
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: died of a cerebral edema and he was only thirty

1180
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 2: two years old. He died July twentieth, nineteen seventy three.

1181
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: He'd had a couple accidents on set before that, But he,

1182
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 2: you know, had died of this this brain injury, and

1183
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 2: was having seizures and headaches and all kinds of things

1184
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 2: leading up to it, and was given painkillers and but

1185
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: nobody really diagnosed what was actually happening. So he kind

1186
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 2: of died of this this swelling of the brain. Really tragic. Yeah,

1187
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 2: but again left behind a legacy that is unparalleled. And

1188
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 2: I will also say that Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee planted

1189
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 2: the seed and Kevin Klein fertilized the plant. In terms

1190
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 2: of like this movie launched a million kinks for me,

1191
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 2: ah and a million other people. Like this movie is

1192
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: he is so hot. Bruce Lee was so fucking hot.

1193
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 2: It is unbelievable. And I think part of the reason

1194
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: that so many of us kids try to mimic him

1195
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 2: is he made everything look so easy. Yeah, like what

1196
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 2: looked like minimal effort. He would be leaping above things

1197
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 2: and over things and kicking things and ruining things. And

1198
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: his face was so expressive and he had such a

1199
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 2: great style about him. So yeah, this movie I will

1200
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 2: break down into fight scenes and kinks.

1201
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: Yes, he also has a swag to him.

1202
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 2: You know what.

1203
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean like that was the thing I think that

1204
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: really kind of made him almost like who he was

1205
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 1: is that he like because I will say this, I

1206
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,959
Speaker 1: think he can act like I Yeah, Bruce Lee could

1207
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: actually act unlike the people in my movie. He's got

1208
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: a whole attitude and a swag to him, and I

1209
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: just feel like he's entertaining and he's a badass and

1210
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: he's all those things, which I feel like is a

1211
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,959
Speaker 1: little bit different than you know, just sort of people

1212
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: who are you know, martial artists in a film. You know,

1213
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: there's something extra to him.

1214
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, he can't It's not that he can just

1215
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 2: fight like. He's really captivating as well. He's a good actor.

1216
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: And he also has like maybe negative percent body fat.

1217
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: He has muscles on his body that I have never

1218
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: seen on anybody before. Like they're like muscles on top

1219
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: of a muscle where you're like, what is that muscle?

1220
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 2: How did that develop?

1221
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1222
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 2: That come from He has those ones that I don't

1223
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 2: I do not know what they're called. I always call

1224
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 2: them wings or like if he holds his hand puts

1225
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 2: his hands in a fist on his hips. Yeah, he

1226
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 2: has muscles that fill out under his arms from his back.

1227
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, those like it's like for me, where like the

1228
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: fat seeps out of the bra strap.

1229
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 2: That's instead like muscle, and he's turned that into muscle somehow.

1230
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: Look the fuck, dude, that was the first time in

1231
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 2: my life, Like watching this movie was the first time

1232
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 2: I ever saw those muscles. I've seen them since, but

1233
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 2: like seeing them on this tiny dude, this ripped dude,

1234
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, where did those come from? You don't even

1235
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 2: have enough skin for that to be possible. It was unreal.

1236
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 2: So this this film is literally a good film, and

1237
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 2: it is also hella entertaining, and Bruce Lee is a

1238
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 2: god damn miracle. So essentially at the start of the film,

1239
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 2: we're in We're in this shallin Temple and Bruce Lee

1240
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:39,519
Speaker 2: is just like, let me kick this guy's ass in

01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna stand over this dude in victory and

1244
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 2: like the coolest way ever then I'm gonna jump over

1245
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 2: your hands while you like Eiffel Tower them just as

1246
01:08:55,439 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 2: a little like little little whipped cream on the Sunday.

1247
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 2: He's gonna leap over your hands and have you just

1248
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 2: leave you super excited while I just casually show you

1249
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: how fucking powerful I am. So then while he's he's

1250
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 2: you know, he's resting after he fights, and I love

1251
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 2: that it starts with a fight, you get you just

1252
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: instantly get into the action. And this guy comes over

1253
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 2: to him. His name's Braithwait and he essentially is like, yo,

1254
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 2: we sent you this invitation for this tournament. Are you

1255
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: gonna do it? Or na? And Bruce Lee, who's playing

1256
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 2: a character named Lee Lee, says like, all right, hang on,

1257
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 2: let me just teach this lesson real quick to this youngster.

1258
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 2: And this is where kink number one is launched. Bruce

1259
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 2: Lee looking at this fucking kid and just saying, kick me.

1260
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 2: And then he's like first he's just staring at him,

1261
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 2: and he's like, kick me. And then the kid kicks him,

1262
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:54,759
Speaker 2: and he's like emotional content and I'm like, I'm fucking

1263
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 2: done forever. What the I don't even know what the

1264
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 2: fuck you're talking about.

1265
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: That is hot as shit.

1266
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 2: He's like, don't care me with your leg kick me

1267
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 2: with your fucking emotions?

1268
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,919
Speaker 1: What okay?

1269
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 2: And he's like give him all these fucking parables where

1270
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 2: he's like, if you point your finger at the moon

1271
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 2: and you look at just your finger, you're.

1272
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:11,759
Speaker 1: Missing all the other stuff.

1273
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: And he's I'm like, you're blowing my mind right now,

1274
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 2: and you look hot while you're doing it.

1275
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: So it's that intensity, that intense and I've been like,

1276
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 1: kick me with your emotional content. Oh my god. I

1277
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: love him.

1278
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that's so cute. I'll

1279
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 2: kick you with my emotional content. I'll know what it is,

1280
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 2: I'll develop it and then kick you with it.

1281
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: It's just so cool.

1282
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 2: He was so cool. Then we get basically, you know,

1283
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 2: he tells braithwait. You know, he's like, all right, let's

1284
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: go talk about this. But as this is happening, we

1285
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 2: get to see the other two fighters who are going

1286
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 2: to be the principles in this film arriving to Hong Kong.

1287
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 2: So we see John Sackson, who plays Roper, and Jim

1288
01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 2: Kelly who plays Williams, arriving in the in Hong Kong,

1289
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 2: and we get to see their backstory. So first and

1290
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 2: foremost we have to get the backstory of Han, and

1291
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 2: Han is the villain of the film, and Braithwaite is

1292
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 2: basically telling Bruce Lee while he's sitting on a green

1293
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 2: couch in a sweet ass suit. He's like, all right,

1294
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 2: so this guy used to belong to this same Shallon

1295
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 2: temple where you're teaching, and he went rogue. And he

1296
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 2: has his bodyguard O'Hara, who has this big old scar

1297
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 2: across his face. And you know O'Hara likes to take

1298
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 2: long walks on the beaches and have boards broken across

1299
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 2: his body and break bricks that are on fire like

1300
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 2: those are his his fucking turn ons. But he's tough

1301
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 2: as shit. And I'm like, how many people lit shit

1302
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:46,640
Speaker 2: on fire in their lives and tried to break it

1303
01:11:47,240 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: after seeing this film, Like we would costantly go out

1304
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:50,879
Speaker 2: in the woods and just light shit on fire anyway,

1305
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 2: but then like trying to light a branch on fire

1306
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 2: and kick kick it clean, like like break it clean.

1307
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 2: I am surprised most of did not go up like

1308
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: fucking tinder boxes. Man.

1309
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, there was so much of that when

1310
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,599
Speaker 1: I was a kid, of people like trying to break

1311
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: things in half, Like I mean, I swear these two

1312
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: movies in particular, there's a lot of.

1313
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 2: That, A lot of a lot, a lot of discipline

1314
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 2: through breaking and then we also learn about Han that

1315
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:23,719
Speaker 2: he has this self sufficient island fortress and he's really

1316
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,799
Speaker 2: only in contact with the outside world via this tournament

1317
01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:29,759
Speaker 2: that he hosts every three years. But the other fucked

1318
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 2: up side of this island is that he basically loads

1319
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 2: it up with women and then shoots those women full

1320
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 2: of heroin. He was like the first sex trafficker on

1321
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 2: screen essentially.

1322
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely.

1323
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 2: Just awful. And then Braithwait is so like uptight and

1324
01:12:44,280 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 2: British about it as he's reading this off to Lee

1325
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: and he's like, she died. She overdosed a yes on

1326
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 2: a heroin, Like oh have you heard of it? Heroin?

1327
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Yes?

1328
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 2: He's so upsight about it, and so Braithwait's like, our

1329
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 2: all right, cool, here's what's up. We want you to

1330
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 2: go in there and get us some evidence because we

1331
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 2: know what this guy's doing. We just don't have any

1332
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 2: evidence that he's doing it. So go in there and

1333
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 2: be a spy. And Bruce Lee is like, why don't

1334
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 2: you just shoot this guy? He's so cool in the scene.

1335
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 2: I can't stand it. He's like, why don't you just

1336
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 2: shoot this guy? And they're like no, because the territorial

1337
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 2: waters make it impossible, Like, oh, now, we're following rules

1338
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 2: that we can't bring guns to shoot this guy, but

1339
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: we will send a spy to a tournament to get him.

1340
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 2: So he's like, get some evidence, kick some ass, and

1341
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 2: then get to the radio and maybe somebody will come

1342
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 2: and get you and help you out. Like it's just

1343
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 2: so dubious. He's like, yeah, maybe. So then we get

1344
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 2: the backstory. We get Lee's backstory. So Lee goes to

1345
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 2: speak to the leader of the Shallon Temple and this

1346
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,719
Speaker 2: guy's like, look at the last tournament three years ago,

1347
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 2: I was in the city with your sister and a

1348
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 2: bunch of hans dudes tried to assault her, and basically

1349
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 2: the monk gave O'Hara that oh he or that face

1350
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 2: scar with a knife and an attempt to save her,

1351
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 2: but she runs away. But she is kicking fucking ass

1352
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 2: in this She is doing fucking kicking dudes in the face.

1353
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 2: She's doing spin kicks, she's jumping from building, she's fighting

1354
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: on rooftops. It's only one scene, but it was so

1355
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 2: great as a kid, and even now just to see

1356
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,879
Speaker 2: the intensity of her fighting and trying to save herself.

1357
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh man, it was amazing. I was like, yes, yes,

1358
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: and it's so unfortunate. You know obviously what happens next,

1359
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: because she fought off this gang, I mean, like multiple

1360
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: dudes just like fallen down. And it's so satisfying to

1361
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 1: see that.

1362
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And well even the next scene, which is basically

1363
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 2: that she kind of barricades herself in this building and

1364
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 2: then the guys follow her and she picks up this

1365
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 2: shard of glass and essentially stabs herself in the stomach

1366
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 2: and takes her own life instead of being assaulted. So

1367
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 2: even that move, I'm like, that is fun fucking cold blooded,

1368
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,719
Speaker 2: like it is. So she's so intense in that small

1369
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 2: window of time. It's like a lifetime of story and

1370
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 2: I love it. So basically, this monk is like, so,

1371
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 2: go to the city, pay your respects to your sister

1372
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 2: and your mother, and then go kill all these motherfuckers

1373
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,799
Speaker 2: at this tournament because the other reason your sister is dead. Yes,

1374
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 2: So it gives him a purpose and it sets him

1375
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 2: on a path, and I love that. Then we get

1376
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 2: Roper's backstory, and Roper's backstory is that he's terrible at golf.

1377
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 2: He is a major gambling problem, and he owes a

1378
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 2: lot of money, but he also has a golf court

1379
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 2: cart with an actual corded phone in it, like a

1380
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 2: phone on a cord and a golf cart. So he's

1381
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:43,680
Speaker 2: broke as shit and we can see exactly why. When

1382
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 2: we see shit like that, you're like, oh, that's how

1383
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 2: you're spending that money. Roper.

1384
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you got sixty five dollars in your

1385
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: bank account because you got to get this like souped

1386
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: up golf cart with a phone. I don't know how

1387
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: much the phone bill is for making phone calls off

1388
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: that thing.

1389
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 2: The longest charges at every call is a long sistance charge,

1390
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 2: just out of control, has to be. And as he's

1391
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 2: like kind of floating through Kowloon Bay and doing his

1392
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 2: you know, a rival to the city, every kid and

1393
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 2: dog is like super siss about him because this man

1394
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 2: has bought and I'm not kidding, he has bought with

1395
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 2: him at least twelve hard sided suitcases, like so much

1396
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 2: luggage for someone who's going to be basically wearing like

1397
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,679
Speaker 2: the same uniform for the next three days while he fights.

1398
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,640
Speaker 2: He has loaded these boats down with luggage. And then

1399
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 2: we get William's backstory, and I love his backstory because

1400
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 2: first and foremost we meet him on this boat in

1401
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 2: Kowloon Bay and the person who's driving his boat is

1402
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 2: a woman with a baby strapped to her back, and

1403
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 2: she's like, I got work to do. I will take

1404
01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,759
Speaker 2: this baby with me. But his story is that he's

1405
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 2: basically harassed by the police because some things never change,

1406
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 2: and he literally has to fight his way out of

1407
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 2: the state. So he like fights off these cops and

1408
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,759
Speaker 2: steals a cop car because they harass him for no reason.

1409
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 2: But what's cool about these these three scenes is that

1410
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:10,240
Speaker 2: we're getting everyone's backstory, so you can see that they're

1411
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 2: all fighting in a way that they have nothing to

1412
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,559
Speaker 2: lose in everything to gain. So that really raises the

1413
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 2: stakes without you know, kind of having to be more

1414
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 2: pointed than that. We just get a really quick glimpse

1415
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 2: into why they're all at this island fortress. And this

1416
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:27,879
Speaker 2: is also where we find out that Roper and Williams

1417
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 2: know each other from the Vietnam War. As they all

1418
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,680
Speaker 2: get on this boat and try to go and do

1419
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 2: this fight. There's a really funny scene on the boat too,

1420
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 2: where two funny scenes where Roper is such a fucking

1421
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 2: gambling attic that he is betting on a fight between

1422
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 2: two praying mantises and Lee is like, yeah, I'll take

1423
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 2: your fucking money, no problem. And then there's also a

1424
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 2: scene where this guy from New Zealand is such a

1425
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 2: fucking prick, like he's supposed to be one of the fighters,

1426
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,919
Speaker 2: and he comes out and like kicks this creative oranges

1427
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 2: this kid is carrying for no reason, and Lee is

1428
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 2: he's He's like, let's fight, and Lee's like, don't waste yourself,

1429
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 2: like we'll fight on the at the fucking tournament. He's like, no,

1430
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 2: let's fight right now. And he's like, all right, let's

1431
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 2: take this boat and go over to that island over there.

1432
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 2: And the guy gets on the boat and he just

1433
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 2: lets the lead out like let's the rope out, and

1434
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 2: lets him float behind the boat for the rest of

1435
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 2: the trip, and everyone laughs at him. It's very funny.

1436
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 2: So then we get to this island fortress and we

1437
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 2: can kind of see the army that Han is building

1438
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 2: because he does have a martial arts school at this fortress,

1439
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,839
Speaker 2: and we meet some of the women that are involved,

1440
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 2: and there's this big banquet again another kink. Didn't know

1441
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 2: I had Bruce Lee eating and smiling at the same time.

1442
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:44,000
Speaker 2: Hey hot as fuck, Like, why don't you eat something

1443
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:45,120
Speaker 2: and smile and then let's.

1444
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:45,920
Speaker 1: Get to go to town.

1445
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:46,760
Speaker 2: Let's get down.

1446
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm loving this. Uh look inside of your brain right now.

1447
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 2: And look, I didn't know until I was rewatching this

1448
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 2: movie that I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, that is hot.

1449
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 2: That's where that comes from. It gets in there deep people.

1450
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 2: Then Han comes in and everyone kind of fre What's

1451
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 2: hilarious is when Hank comes into the banquet, everyone freezes

1452
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 2: in place, so like even the sumo wrestlers who are

1453
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 2: the entertainment are just like stopped in their spot and

1454
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 2: it's kind of fucking hilarious. But he comes in and like,

1455
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 2: you know, has his army of women showing off what

1456
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: they can do, and one like blows a dart through

1457
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 2: an apple and he's just chucking apples and letting women

1458
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 2: impale them all over the place. And then they start

1459
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 2: bringing these women around to the rooms. So Williams of

1460
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,799
Speaker 2: course it's like, yes, I will take four of them,

1461
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 2: and Lee is like, no, thanks, Actually I just want

1462
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 2: to talk to that one dart owner. And when she

1463
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 2: shows up, he realized, you realize that that's his contact

1464
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 2: because Braithwait showed her showed him her photo and was like,

1465
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,519
Speaker 2: this is your contact. She's been inside. Make sure you

1466
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 2: help her out. So I kind of love that. Then

1467
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 2: the next day we have kind of a new kink

1468
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 2: developing where just like refuses to wear his uniform to

1469
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 2: the morning ritual, like he's an anti establishment king hmmm.

1470
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 2: And he's like, why, I'm just gonna be like we're

1471
01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 2: just gonna be jamming our hands in and out of

1472
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 2: these hot coals anyway, Like what the fuck, dude, why

1473
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 2: don't get in a goddamn uniform for that?

1474
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: Let me be, let me wear what I won't.

1475
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 2: This is little face is a little sassy edity. He's like,

1476
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 2: I ain't wearing that fucking shit. And he didn't even

1477
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 2: say anything, which is the best. But the tournament is

1478
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 2: kind of hilarious. So Williams makes very short work of

1479
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 2: the New Zealand guy. And then that night, while everyone

1480
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 2: else is like choosing their women and fucking Lee is

1481
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 2: creeping around trying to get info on Han. So he

1482
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 2: is like sneaking up behind a dude quietly and he

1483
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 2: has hand in a fist and then he like jumps

1484
01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 2: into a tree, which I can now tell his reversed imagery,

1485
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 2: but at the time I thought it was totally possible,

1486
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 2: and I spent an inordinate amount of time as a

1487
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 2: kid trying to jump backwards into a tree.

1488
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god, exactly. I was like, I thought that

1489
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,559
Speaker 1: was amazing. I guess I didn't know like how and

1490
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 1: I was actually done. But at the time I was like,

1491
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,759
Speaker 1: this guy is so he can jump into a tree.

1492
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

1493
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 2: Completely. I'm like, this has to be possible.

1494
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is not.

1495
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:12,680
Speaker 2: But An finds out about the creepin. He doesn't get caught,

1496
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 2: but he finds out about the creep in and he

1497
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 2: kind of like reiterates the rules that his guards now

1498
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,519
Speaker 2: have to fight each other because they're incompetent and they

1499
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 2: need to prove that they're worthy of staying with us.

1500
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 2: And that's where we meet Bolo bolow Young and he

1501
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 2: is fighting these dudes and he picks one dude up

1502
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 2: and just kind of cradles him to death. Yes, it

1503
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 2: is the weirdest move where he's just like, let me

1504
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 2: just pick you up and poe you up a little bit.

1505
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 2: It just crunch you to death a little bit.

1506
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like he picks him up like a little baby,

1507
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: and then he squeezes him gently and then all of

1508
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, you hear this crack.

1509
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1510
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: Then it's like and then he just drops him and

1511
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: he's fucking dead. And I'm like, damn, it's a park.

1512
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: I just thought you were like fixing his back, but

1513
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 1: apparently he cracked his entire body in two and now

1514
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:04,719
Speaker 1: he's just dead.

1515
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,240
Speaker 2: Oh, he's gone. And he is truly like he is

1516
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 2: a wall of a man, like he is a wall

1517
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 2: of meeks. He is huge and just demolishing dudes left

1518
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 2: and right. So he and this movie also is kind

1519
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 2: of like one of the last like one of the

1520
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 2: final bosses. But the first fight of the day is

1521
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 2: Lee and O'Hara, and there's this big, you know, kind

1522
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 2: of this like tete a tete beforehand, and he says

1523
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 2: one of my favorite things ever, because O'Hara comes out

1524
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 2: and is like fucking breaking boards and he's like, this

1525
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 2: is what I do. I break boards on my fucking body,

1526
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 2: and Lee just simply says, boards don't kick back, that's right.

1527
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: Thanks you fancy. Now wait till you get a board

1528
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: that kicks you in the face.

1529
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh, and he's about to find out because O'Hara does

1530
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:52,280
Speaker 2: this move where he tries to jump over Lee while

1531
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 2: he's on the ground and Lee kicks him directly in

1532
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 2: the dick. And if you don't think I tried that move,

1533
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: he kicks the man directly at the dick while he's

1534
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 2: like legs a kimbo trying to leap over this man.

1535
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that is gonna be my move. Go

1536
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 2: for the nuts.

1537
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: Listen give it as a forty five year old woman,

1538
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: when I watch that stat again, when that happens, I

1539
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:19,719
Speaker 1: scream and go got kicked in a dick. You can't

1540
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:21,560
Speaker 1: help it. It's so exciting.

1541
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 2: And then oh Harah thinks he's pulling some shit and

1542
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 2: he's like, I'm gonna break these two bottles and come

1543
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 2: after you. And this is again my next favorite move.

1544
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 2: Lee just pushes him to the ground and jumps on

1545
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 2: him and he's like ah, like he does his face

1546
01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 2: and it's like just jumps on the man and ends

1547
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 2: his life. And I tried to replicate that move for

1548
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:50,480
Speaker 2: months out of my life, months out of my childhood. Yeah,

1549
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 2: and it never quite worked, but oh my god, it's

1550
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 2: so cool. So then we see Williams who's fighting Han,

1551
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 2: because Han is like, I know people were creeping last night,

1552
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 2: and you have to be the dude who was creeping

1553
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 2: because one of your ladies told me you left. And

1554
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 2: then he kills Williams. He kills him after they fight,

1555
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 2: which is rough, but we do get to a little

1556
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 2: bit of info here, which is that Han has an

1557
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 2: iron hand. He has a prosthetic iron hand. No, no, what

1558
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 2: and then a hand looks look iron baby hand. It's

1559
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: so fucked up looking.

1560
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like truly like this sharp kind of like

1561
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,120
Speaker 1: pre Freddy Krueger like fucking razor hand thing.

1562
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 2: It is so weird. And I'm like, all right, so

1563
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 2: you got this fucking iron hand. And you see this

1564
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 2: point of where he's talking to Roper next after he

1565
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 2: kills Williams, he's talking to Roper and he's kind of

1566
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 2: got his cat and he's petting his cat. And that's

1567
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 2: where Austin Powers gets it from. Like there's you will

1568
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 2: see so many scenes in this movie that are an

1569
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 2: absolute nod to enter the Dragon. So he's kind of

1570
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 2: taunting Roper and he's like, why don't you put your

1571
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 2: head in this guillotine that I have? No, Well, why

1572
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 2: don't I put my cat in here and chop in

1573
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 2: half in front of you to show my ruthlessness, and

1574
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 2: Roper like saves the cat and then he pulls the

1575
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 2: guillotine lever and it's an elevator and I'm like, the

1576
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 2: fuck dude. But he introduces Roper to his daughters, who

1577
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 2: are his bodyguards, and he's like, oh, yeah, by the way,

1578
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 2: here's my opium cookstation and I want you to be

1579
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 2: our us rep. And if you say no, I'm gonna

1580
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 2: do you like I did your friend here. And he

1581
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 2: shows him Williams all tied up in like barbed wire

1582
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 2: and shit. So Roper is a fucking bitch and he's like, yeah,

1583
01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 2: I'll do it. Like he just rolls over so easily.

1584
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 2: And while this is happening, Lee is creeping again. He

1585
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 2: goes out and this is okay, another another fucking kink.

1586
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 2: Bruce Lee with that white rope wrestling a snake into

1587
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 2: a bag and then he's fighting. He goes on to

1588
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 2: fight one hundred dudes in a cave with some nunchucks.

1589
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 2: But him putting that snake into that bag and then

1590
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 2: shimmying down that rope, I was like, I can get

1591
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 2: into this, ye, This fucking Presidential physical fitness. Shit, I'm

1592
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 2: about it. Oh, he fights all these dudes downstairs than

1593
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 2: the Opium dem where you know, Roper was just walking

1594
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 2: around and he gets caught, and Han basically makes Roper

1595
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:11,759
Speaker 2: fight Bolo Bullow Young, but Roper wins, which nobody sees coming.

1596
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 2: So then Lee kind of joins Roper to fight this

1597
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 2: army that Han is pushing on them, and Han trades

1598
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 2: out his fake hand for a board with three nails

1599
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 2: and a murkin on the back of it. It is

1600
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 2: the fucking jankiest looking prosthetic I've ever seen in my

1601
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 2: goddamn life.

1602
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the blood on Satan's claw.

1603
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:38,639
Speaker 2: It is so it is so bad looking. But don't

1604
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 2: worry because while this fight is going on, he goes

1605
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 2: and gets his business claw, which is next to his

1606
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 2: hand bones and he keeps in a fucking museum case.

1607
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 2: And his business claw is just like Wolverine clause. And

1608
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 2: so this is where we get to my final kink.

1609
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,639
Speaker 2: Bruce Lee with scratches all over his face and torso,

1610
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:02,759
Speaker 2: and there's a point where he licks his own blood

1611
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:06,519
Speaker 2: from his torso wound. And it took a few years

1612
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 2: for Kevin Klein to seal the deal. But that did

1613
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:12,880
Speaker 2: something to me. If I have ever scratched you during sex,

1614
01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:14,840
Speaker 2: You're welcome. This is where it comes from.

1615
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 1: If only Kevin Clotte had licked his own blood off

1616
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: of his body, your vagina would have I would have passed.

1617
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 2: But like the first nine year old to have a

1618
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 2: stand up coronary event. Ah, he looks so hot in

1619
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 2: this fight scene, it's unreal. And then he just crushes,

1620
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 2: fucking demolishes Han. It's amazing. It's just such a It's

1621
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 2: a well paced, well written, wonderful, wonderful fucking movie. It

1622
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 2: is a classic for a reason. It is the best

1623
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 2: martial arts film of all time for a reason. Bruce

1624
01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 2: Lee his he looks un He's never been better. He

1625
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 2: looks unbelievable fighting in this movie. He does in every film,

1626
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 2: of course, but he's at the top of his goddamn

1627
01:27:56,360 --> 01:28:00,479
Speaker 2: game in this movie, and it is so and entertaining

1628
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:02,519
Speaker 2: to watch. Always.

1629
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 1: I have to ask, did you have similar questions about

1630
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: the mirror ending of this film as you did with

1631
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: the chorus line.

1632
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:17,519
Speaker 2: I absolutely did not sit up kidding I did this.

1633
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 2: This one made sense to me because it was one

1634
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 2: dude spinning around on something, And I know that when

1635
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,679
Speaker 2: you face mirrors against each other, it creates that infinity thing.

1636
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 2: No one else is popping out of mirrors all over

1637
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:28,679
Speaker 2: the place like they did in the chorus line.

1638
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, But when I watched it again, I totally

1639
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: thought of you, like in the three Am The Witches Hour,

1640
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: like googling you know how they did the mirror trick.

1641
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: How mirror work? You know, Bruce Lee coming out with

1642
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: like a gold top hat, being like one singular sensation.

1643
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:54,879
Speaker 2: Ah ah. In my parody remake of Enter the Dragon,

1644
01:28:55,240 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 2: that is the ending one hundred percent and it's just

1645
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,799
Speaker 2: more and more body spinning on those mirrors.

1646
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 1: You're like, how do they get all those bodies up there?

1647
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice that.

1648
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 2: Oh shug. I love this movie. I love this week.
