1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: One of my chief complaints with this younger generation. I 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: don't know if you call them millennials, why gen z? 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell you all are, Dana, 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: what generation are you? Millenial? You're millennial? Yes, and you're 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: under thirty. So when does gen Z begin an end? 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: I think twenty six? Age twenty six, I don't know. Okay, well, 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: all y'all after Generation X, I can't stand y'all. And 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: here's why you have no appreciation for history and how 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: to get things done. You may have an issue with 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: the justice system, you may feel that someone has been wrong, 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: but you have absolutely no decent idea how to go 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: about it. And here is another perfect example. In the 13 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: past five to ten years, I would say five years, 14 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: there has been this obsession to create an online petition 15 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: for everything. And you know what, online petitions actually change nothing, 16 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: not a damn thing. Now, they may impact news coverage, 17 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: they may impact awareness, but in terms of a petition 18 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: and a petition that's supposed to move an issue from 19 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: A to B is an action item. That's why you 20 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: have people signed the petition. But now too many young 21 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: people are using that as the only thing to do, 22 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: as if they're actually doing something. Now, you might have 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: heard Mark Ronner and other KFI news anchors report on 24 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: the Tory Lanes guilty verdict and the shooting of rapper 25 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Megan thee Stallion. Well, Tory Lanes, not only his family, 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: but also his extended fan base have come out in 27 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: force protesting this verdict. So much so they have received 28 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: more than I would say, twenty thousand online signatures for 29 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: this petition to overturn the verdict or file for an appeal. Now, 30 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer, I've never gone to law school, 31 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: but I also know that you can't overturn a verdict 32 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: or file an appeal via online petition. And no number 33 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: of signatures to any online petition is going to impact 34 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: a court case. Now, listen to what the petition has 35 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: to say, and it's really rich. Quote, Tory Lanes was 36 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: found guilty of all charges and it is a true 37 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: miscarriage of justice. Listened to their supposed reasons why the 38 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: state did not prove that Lanz undoubtedly committed any crime? 39 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: What legal standard is undoubtedly reasonable? Doubt loomed over a 40 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: ten day trial as the prosecution was unable to show us. 41 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who us is show us that there 42 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: were not alternative explanations of the events, a circus of speculation, 43 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: insufficient evidence, inconsistencies, and drunken memories left us without much 44 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: moral certainty of any truth. Meanwhile, the jury selection itself 45 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: may have put him in a terrible position to begin with. 46 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: If the prosecution believed their victim's account, why was Tory 47 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: not charged with attempted murder and kidnapping instead gave lesser 48 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: charges that they were still unable to prove without a doubt. 49 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: Prove without a doubt in one court, he now faces 50 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: almost thirty years in prison and deportation. Now he faces 51 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: almost twenty two years and deportation. E. J. King is 52 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: the only witness who gave a clear and concise testimony. 53 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: We literally witnessed every other testimony filled with inconsistencies in contradictions. 54 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: Who the hell wrote this? Twallah? Who the hell wrote this? 55 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: Who actually believes that that is going to positively impact 56 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: Tory lanes or in some way change the trajectory of 57 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: his sentencing? The exact same people who, for some reason 58 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: other believe hashtag anything creates laws or creates bills, or 59 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 1: somehow a hashtag anything has any any substantive relevance in 60 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: the world. There was not one legal principle in this complaint, 61 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: this online complaint. If you just want to have an 62 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: online screed and complain about the verdict, got it, understand it. 63 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: But if you're trying to present it as some sort 64 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: of robuttal to a case to argue for grounds for 65 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: an appeal, that is stupid, beyond stupid. But that's where 66 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: we are. And I blame you, Eric, because it's your generation. Well, 67 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: for clarification purposes, Millennials are born from nineteen eighty one 68 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety six, and gen z is anybody nineteen 69 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: ninety seven and on, So you're I'm a millennial, okay, 70 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: and Mark Ronner is X okay, all right. I just 71 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: want to make sure I gotta blame some one, and 72 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: someone has to get those lays gets all the blame 73 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: for shooting Meg. And that's what it comes down to. 74 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: And I know a lot. Let me back up. I 75 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: firmly believe we need to teach more civics, personal financial management, 76 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: and law basic law in schools. We don't teach it. 77 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: And so you have these ignorant adults coming out and 78 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: being mad at the world and they have no idea 79 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: how their their government works, how the judicial system works, 80 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: and how the intersection of those two work. Yes, yes, 81 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 1: and it's going to get worse because tens of thousands 82 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: of people sign this petition expecting it to go somewhere, 83 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: expecting it to make a difference, expecting it to possibly 84 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: get Tory Lanes out of jail. He shot that woman. 85 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: That's not even in doubt. He shot that woman. But 86 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: here we are people are mad because they don't believe 87 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: that justice had prevent when they have no idea even 88 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: what voider is, how jury selection is supposed to go, 89 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: you know, how peremptory, how peremptory challenges work. They understand 90 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: none of this. They don't even understand how to file 91 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: an appeal. And they're also taking all of the information 92 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: coming out of the courtroom from people that were there. 93 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: This case wasn't broadcast on live TV like the Johnny 94 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: Depp case or O. J. Simpson or anything like that. 95 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: This is all getting passed down through people that were 96 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: in the courtroom, and who knows what type of biases 97 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: those people have. Not only is it telephone train, they're 98 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: assuming that whatever they heard in the courtroom was in 99 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: front of the jury. Not everything which is said in 100 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: the courtroom is said in front of the jury. Some 101 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: information is excluded, obviously, some evidence is inadmissible, and it's 102 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: up to the jury to believe or disbelieve any of 103 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: the witnesses. I would like to know what the alternative 104 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: facts of the story are. If mister Lane until if 105 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: that's his last name, but if this young man was 106 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: in possession of a firearm and his firearm went off 107 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: and hit miss Stallion, if that is her last name 108 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: in the foot and the pinkyton him the pinkyto if 109 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: that's what happened, then yeah, he's at fault. If she 110 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: says it was in an aggressive manner and she felt threatened, 111 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: well dab it, then you're going to jail, sir. And 112 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: they said in their bs online petition that they didn't 113 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: try to charge him with attempted murder No, because that 114 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: wasn't the charge that you have to be able to 115 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: improve approve intent. Yeah, and I don't believe that Tory 116 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: Lanes was trying to murder making the Stallion, but I 117 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: don't think it's in doubt whether he shot her. Yeah, 118 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: he had the gun, it went off. Yeah, allegedly what 119 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: happened was is he was pointing the gun at the 120 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: ground and shot the ground and said dance and there 121 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: and lies bullet fragments in her feet. So he's basically 122 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: just guilty of being a fan of Western films and 123 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: nothing more and being an idiot dance, you know. And 124 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: I think unlawful discharge of a firearm and reckless endangerment, 125 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: whatever else they charge. Look, all of those things carry, 126 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: from our understanding, hefty fines. Yeah, and also prison time. 127 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: K I am six forty. This is Johnny Kin Show. 128 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. As usual, we 129 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: want to close out with some entertainment and the biggest 130 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: movie story is still Avatar The Way of Water, but 131 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: not only because of the movie itself, but because of 132 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: the commentary by James Cameron, it's director and how he 133 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: still has this ax to grind with superhero movies, and 134 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: he's made it very clear that he's not a fan 135 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: of the genre. But more importantly, I don't think he's 136 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: even seen any of the movies in the genre. His 137 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: latest statement is as follows that the problem quote the 138 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: problems that they're facing in terms of his characters in Avatar, 139 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: the problems that they're facing are real close quote as 140 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: to suggest the problems faced by characters like Iron Man 141 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: or the Falcon and the Winter Soldier or ant Man 142 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: are not real or less real. And given that Avatar 143 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: and also Avatar of the Way of Water takes place 144 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: in a galaxy far far away, on a planet that 145 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: no one has ever seen, does not exist, we've never met. 146 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: And given that the whole premise of Avatar is you 147 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: have this formerly human consciousness existing in the body of 148 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: some sort of alien, it's really a stretch for him 149 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: to complain about superhero movies and their characters not faced 150 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: real problems, but his characters are. Yeah, that's pure hate. 151 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go through it, because if you've seen 152 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: the first Avatar movie, the problem, the central problem, is 153 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: that the Nave, the indigenous people, are being attacked by 154 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: humans earthlings because they want access to the natural resources 155 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: of the planet and it's all under this tree basically, 156 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: and they're willing to kill everything and everyone to get 157 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: to the natural resources. Okay, that's semi real, but that's 158 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: not more real than maybe aunt Man's character who is 159 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: trying to stay out of prison, so he can care 160 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: for his daughter, and he has trouble trying to keep 161 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: a job. Iron Man who Tony Stark, who is dealing 162 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: with post traumatic stress syndrome and dealing with trauma from 163 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: being in a wartime accident, don't forget dying from a 164 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: nuclear isotope in his chest. That alone, you have so 165 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: many different things that these individuals were dealing with on 166 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: a realistic level. When you go to, as you said, 167 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: Falcon and the Winter Soldier dealing with an individual who 168 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: is an army veteran who became a hero, who was 169 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: then hunted by the law, and then once saving the world, 170 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: could not get a loan to save his family business. Wow, 171 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: that's not real life for you. And I brought in 172 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: someone from the Cafie News department, Aaron been Most, who 173 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: not only loves movies, but has seen Avatar The Way 174 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: of Water and can give at least some reference point. 175 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet. I do plan to see it, 176 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: but I get the sense that when James Cameron says 177 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: that the problems that his characters are facing are more 178 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: real than the superhero genre, I get the sense that 179 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: this guy doesn't even look at any of the movies 180 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: other than his own. I mean, to be fair, he's 181 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: been making the same movie for thirteen years, and he 182 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: totally missed the MCU and everything they've out. I mean, 183 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: dude's credit you guys. He's been really busy. Avatar The 184 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: Way of Water has done respectable numbers, if only because 185 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 1: it is it has been released in China, and that 186 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: has helped it in its attempt to get to two 187 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: billion dollars. I still don't think it's going to get there. 188 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: I think it's like eight hundred and sixty million world worldwide. Yeah, worldwide. 189 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: But I'm not hearing anyone who says they may love 190 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: the visuals of the movie. But I haven't heard anyone 191 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: anyone tell me they loved the movie. There's nothing. And look, 192 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: he'll even tell you there's nothing original about this movie. 193 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: You could say, oh, he took bits of this, He 194 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: took bits of this. He basically redid the plot of 195 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Avatar and just creating your water again, right, but not 196 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: even that. Like, this story takes place like a decade 197 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: or so after the original, and there are new threats 198 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: coming to Pandora and they're the same threat from last time. 199 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: It's still American or US or like Earth. You know, 200 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: it's Earth us. Yeah, it's Earth basically American because they 201 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: don't they don't cover them anywhere else. But they're all 202 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: coming to Pandora to to kind of conquer it again. 203 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: So now new groups of people have to learn the land. 204 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: Doesn't that sound familiar? While our family of heroes are 205 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: going to the water because they have to leave for 206 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: the safety of Pandora. So like, while we're also learning 207 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: the ways of water, we're also learning the ways of land, 208 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: which is kind of what the first one was. With 209 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: the exception of maybe the sixteen hundreds, where you had 210 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: colonialism and different types of hegemony. The people of the 211 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: day are not dealing with the same problems in America 212 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two as what the Nave are dealing with. 213 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: You know, to call those problems real is to suggest 214 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: that we're still living in colonial America if we're trying 215 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: to fight off these foreign invaders. I think the biggest 216 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: critique I have of the Second Avatar is that it's 217 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: really just stuck in two thousand and nine like it did. 218 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: Like James Cameron is obsessed with environmentalism. He's obsessed with 219 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: this idea of we must like we must, you know, 220 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: own up to our failures and like help indigenous people 221 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: in the United States. You can't say that he does 222 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: that up there. He basically mocks indigenous people with his depictions, 223 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: I would say of the Navi Oh and I think 224 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: both are true. At the same time. He has a 225 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: fascination with this idea and in his own life he's 226 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: trying to help them, but when he depicts them, they're 227 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: very like stereotypical and things that we've seen in past times. 228 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: And it's just very interesting to me that that, like 229 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: his idea of conflict is still like the colonialism elements 230 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: rather than like the environmental elements of climate change, which 231 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: is very um present in a lot of stories now, 232 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: and that's a big cause him. There's like one of 233 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: the most compelling moments of the movie is just a 234 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: tiny glimpse, and I would have I would have wanted 235 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: to see that be the larger villain of the second one, 236 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: rather than the same US military coming in to ruin 237 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: the day, so to speak. You got a second to 238 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: hang around for one more segment. Because on the other side, 239 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the movie industry more broadly, 240 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: because if James Cameron wants to again defecate on the 241 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: superhero genre. He needs to at least take side of 242 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: the fact that there is no movie industry without the 243 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: superhero genre as we know it. There is no movie 244 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: theater to go to if we don't have superhero movies. 245 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: Can you do that for me? Yeah? Twala, are you 246 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: going anywhere? Yeah? Yeah, Eric, you're going anywhere here, not 247 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: till six, okay, all right?

I should 261 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: say box office success, let may be clearer, a box 262 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: office success since twenty twenty, and not say Top Gun 263 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: Maverick Dunkirk. No, No, that was I don't know. Hey, 264 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: you guys are the movie. That's the sports guy. I'm 265 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: being very serious right now. That's not a super movie. 266 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: That's not a superhero movie. Yeah, that's it. That's and 267 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: everything else. That's a superho movie. That's right. Yeah, I'm 268 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: quite sure there's a Fast and Furious movie in there 269 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: which did decent but not great. No, did not do 270 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: superhero movie great. No, it did a fast nine I 271 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: think it was. It was whatever the last one was. 272 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: It did not do great, not in comparison to superhero movies. Yeah, 273 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: horror films always clean up, so Halloween probably did well. No, 274 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: they didn't. It did well in terms of multipliers, but 275 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: not an overall box office It wasn't like it grows 276 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: half a billion dollars. No, like it costs sixteen million 277 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: to make and it made like two Like that's successful 278 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: for that. But no, sir, not on the level of 279 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: these big box office Uh, just box office spectacular movies. 280 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: Not not one. I can't think of one. That's comparable, 281 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: doesn't really cow because no one went to the movies. 282 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 1: But but that is my point. Actually, yes, no one 283 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 1: went to the movies. So the only reason we still 284 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: have movie theaters is because of Superhero because you had Morbius, 285 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: you had because even yet Spider Man. But even the 286 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: James Bond one was not successful. People may have liked 287 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: that final one, but it wasn't a success, not on 288 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: the level of the superhero movies, like because it peld 289 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: in comparison to Morbius, which was a horrible movie, but 290 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: it was a superhero movie, so everyone wanted to go 291 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: see it. And Venom two. Venom two did really well, 292 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: another horrible movie, superhero movie that kept the lights on. Now, 293 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: if James Cameron and I don't think he understands the 294 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: distinction between an MCU movie and a Sony Universe movie. 295 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: If he wants to point at movies like Morbius or 296 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: Venom Carnage and say that is why I don't like 297 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: the superhero genre, then I'll hear that discussion, but too 298 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: out of hand, dismiss the whole genre and not understand 299 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: the finer points of this movie or that movie and 300 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: just want to just a bad mouth the genre as 301 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: a whole. That just says to me that you're just 302 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: bitter for no reason. You had Titanic, you had Avatar, 303 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: You've had a tremendous success in what you do with 304 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: exception of Terminator, Dark Fate and what have you. But 305 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: these are just as good as any other movie from 306 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: a from a fantasy standpoint, from a sci fi standpoint, 307 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: and they are in a way single handedly keeping your 308 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 1: business alive, James Cameron, if not for superhero movies, there 309 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: would not be some forty five hundred theaters for Avatar 310 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: to be in this week right now, I have to ask, 311 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: where does James Cameron get off dumping on superhero movies 312 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: when he spent years of his own time trying to 313 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: develop a Spider Man movie. Maybe that's why, though, maybe 314 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: that's why. But I mean, he's not the only filmmaker 315 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: in the last year who's co Yeah, they've Tarantino Tarantino, right, 316 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: But at the same time, James Cameron is coming from, 317 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: I think, from a very different standpoint because he has 318 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: enjoyed box office success in a way that Quentin Tarantino 319 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: and definitely Martin Scorsese have not. So there's really less 320 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: of a reason for because those directors, I believe, are 321 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: saying like, hey, you know we're actually you know, our 322 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: tours where we are film directors, there's more intellectual heft 323 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: for our movies. You know, you shouldn't be looking at 324 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: that other stuff. James Cameron can't make that argument. But 325 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: also he don't. It's so interesting that he's saying that 326 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: because he has never been like the story guy. He's 327 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: never been the critically acclaimed guy. He's always been the 328 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: I really am fascinated in making the next big cinematic 329 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: advancement so that other people can use that technology for 330 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: their own films. Like that's his guy. Even in the 331 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: first Avatar he was like, I don't care about the movie. 332 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: I just want to make something that has never been 333 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: seen before. But as a filmmaker, I see him as 334 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,239 Speaker 1: once his success can't be argued. But as far as 335 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: quality of films, he's one step above Michael Bay for me, yeah, 336 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah. In terms of story, there's nothing great 337 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: in anything that I've ever seen from James Cameron, with 338 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: exception and maybe the Original Terminator. With exception of that, 339 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: people say Aliens Too are of his best work. Aliens 340 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: two is hands down the greatest thing he's ever done. 341 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: But also he wasn't in charge of writing that. Yeah, 342 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: so so that's so. That's so. The films that he 343 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: did not write, they were visually good. I just I 344 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: just think it's it's it's it's a It's really weird 345 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: how he can compartmentalize how his action sci fi is 346 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: acceptable and worthy of being lauded, but superhero movies that genre, 347 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: given the advances in CGI, given the advances in special 348 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: effects as a direct result of these movies, that he's 349 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: actually benefited from himself in a way for his movies. 350 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't see how he doesn't see that, hey, they've 351 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: actually saved your industry. It's also possible that he's just 352 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: saying whatever he can say to get people to go 353 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: see his movie create a buzz. Maybe maybe, But that's 354 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: turning me off. That's just me. I can't speak for 355 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: other people. That just seems like you're just a hater 356 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: James Cameron. Perhaps, But also a couple of weeks ago, 357 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: even before the movie came out, he said he needed 358 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: to make two billion an opening weekend so that he 359 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: can make a profit, which is crazy, and people want 360 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: to go see the movie, but he's not gonna get 361 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: two billion. I don't think this movie is gonna make 362 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: a billion at eight hundred. So I think he'll get 363 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: a million because of China, because of the international markets 364 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: all together. International market is already slowing down. Yeah, but 365 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: he'll get another one hundred and forty million. I think. Yeah, 366 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: that's a lot, but put this way, because a lot, 367 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: we agree that he ain't getting the two billion. Look, 368 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: Megan is coming out this weekend, and that's already going 369 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: to stall any further movement for this film. Yes, it 370 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: is still going to shine, but the numbers are going down. 371 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: They're not going up in China or overseas. Yeah, and 372 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: we said that he'll have fewer screens to see it 373 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: because as other movies come out, they will move out. 374 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: He's got two coming out. He's got Pussing Boots and 375 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: he's got Megan. Both of those are going to take 376 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: away from any further successful the film. The film may 377 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: drop down to the top three, but now it's going 378 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: to start inching along in its way to getting to 379 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: to billion or to a billion period. Word of mouth 380 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: in the US already is like, don't waste your time 381 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: unless you've got time to burn. But like I said, 382 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: the winter weather is going to have an adverse effect 383 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: on the movie the entire coast. Yes, wait, but the 384 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: winter storm already happened and it didn't stop people from 385 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: seeing the movie, which is crazy. But you need to 386 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: have repeat viewings sure to get to too billion. It's 387 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: not just seeing it once. You need to see it 388 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: like with Black Path or in other movies, we saw 389 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: it multiple times. It's not going to be just once 390 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: because you know the ticket just maybe more. But still 391 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna need to have those repeat viewings. And I 392 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: don't think there will be enough desire to see that 393 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: movie twice. Although I will say there are people who 394 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: didn't go see movies on Christmas because of the storm, 395 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: but they have said that they're gonna go this weekend 396 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: for New Year's Okay, but they also this week Wakan 397 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: Forever came back. And again you've got two new movies 398 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: coming out, So two new movies that people really want 399 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: to see. They're putting a lot of promotion behind put 400 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: some boots. The promotion behind Megan has been through the 401 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: roof has been insane. I don't see horror movies and 402 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: the movie looks stupid to me, but people will go 403 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: see them. Also, I'm so surprised how well Puss in 404 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: Boots has made, Like people are coming up to me. 405 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Someone said that it was like the logan of wish. 406 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: It has a better Rotten Tomatoes score than Avae. It's 407 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: doing really well. People are saying, this is a crazy movie. 408 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: This is how But like, can you believe a movie 409 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: a fourth movie of like a fourth sequel there, Like 410 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: I did not pay attention off of the spinoff. Everyone's 411 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: raving about it, and it did better than Babylon, which 412 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: is you know, like Hollywood bait. It's Oscar bait, and 413 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: it did not do well. I'm so shocked by that. Yeah, well, 414 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: there are a lot of movies that didn't do well 415 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: to end up with oscars regardless, you know, yeah, that 416 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: is true. John Kin Show, if I am six forty 417 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: Kelly and for JOHNA. King, We're live everywhere on the 418 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. During the break, it was almost simultaneous. I 419 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: was hitting what they call the talk back button to 420 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: talk to Eric and he was trying to talk back 421 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: to me to say the same thing about our horrible 422 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: lakers who actually happened to be up going into the 423 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: fourth quarter against the Orlando Magic, who are also horrible. 424 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: Worst team in the league, I believe, and one of them. Well, yeah, 425 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: until they beat the Lakers, then the Lakers will officially 426 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: be the worst team in the league. But I still 427 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: think the Pistons have a worse record than us. Yeah, 428 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: but didn't they beat us once? Yeah? Yeah, that's my point. 429 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: I mean, just because we may have a better record, 430 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: it's the worst team if only because the Lakers lose 431 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: to the worst of the league. It's so frustrating because 432 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: everyone plays up to try and beat the Lakers because 433 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: they're the Lakers, but then the Lakers decide to play 434 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: down to their competitions level and end up losing. Well, 435 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: there are a couple of things. There's how bad the 436 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: team is playing, and there's how poorly the team was constructed. Yes, 437 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: how do you have twelve players and none of them 438 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: are actual shooters? None of them? How do you have 439 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: the majority of the team be under sixty four when 440 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: the majority of the league is over sixty seven? Well, 441 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: how do you have a team which is they used 442 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: to be the oldest team in the league and now 443 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: they're younger, but they get injured just as much. You 444 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: stumped me with that one, because you would think something 445 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: should get better if they got younger and they got better, 446 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: not at all, in absolutely no way. Yeah, you would think. Now, 447 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: this is what I talked about when Lebron first came 448 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: to LA and I talked about it with Tall and 449 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: I said, look, this is a tradeoff. Yes, Lebron, you're 450 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna get at least one good year, maybe you might 451 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: get a title. But just like the end of Kobe 452 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: Bryant's career, you're going to trade it off because of 453 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: salary cap limitations or the specter of that. Players are 454 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: hanging over the organization and making personnel decisions because even 455 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: though Lebron and Kobe didn't necessarily say I want so 456 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: and so, or maybe they did, every definitely said he 457 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: wanted Russell Westbrook, right, every trade is run through them. 458 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: You know they're not going to get someone and say, hey, Lebron, 459 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: we just did this without consulting you. There's a reason 460 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: Lebron has a nickname Legm. Yeah. Yeah. And so you 461 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: have a poorly constructed team which can't shoot, which can't 462 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: stay healthy, and can't win, and can't defend when their 463 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: best defender gets hurt. How does a team give up 464 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: fifty one points in one quarter? How does that I possible? 465 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: I never seen that before. I've I've watched the NBA. 466 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight years old. I' wached the NBA my 467 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: entire life. I saw all of Kobe everything I've never 468 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: seen before. Back in the nineteen eighties to Denver Nuggets. 469 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: I can't remember, but if you look it up, maybe 470 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: Michael Crozier remembers. I think it was a Paul WestEd team, 471 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets. They had like a rule that they 472 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: would shoot inside of like seven seconds in the twenty 473 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: four second clock, and they average like one hundred and 474 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: forty points a game. I have to look at Denver. 475 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: I think it was Denver Phoenix. To me, no, no, no no, 476 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: it was that was the seven seconds or less offense. Yeah, 477 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: those seven seconds less offense. But it was a different 478 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: team that average like one hundred and forty points a game. 479 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: And I want to believe it was in the nineties, 480 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: and I believe it was Denver. We have to look 481 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: it up. Um, and they just shot as quickly as possible, 482 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: and of course they didn't win many games. Well, but 483 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: I'll find it you know, after the show's over. But 484 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: but my point is, yes, there's probably a team which 485 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: gave up fifty points in a quarter, but they weren't 486 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: an overall bad team. It was probably in the flow of, yeah, 487 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: you don't play much defense, but the Lakers don't play 488 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: much offense. Yeah, I believe the Lakers were outscored in 489 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: that quarter fifty one to like twenty eight, and they 490 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: were winning in that game. Yes they were, Yes they were. 491 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: The Lakers find a new way to lose. It seems 492 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: like every week because they've they've had twenty plus point 493 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: leads in multiple games and end up giving up those 494 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: leads and they will end up losing. It's so weird 495 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: how the salt and tears can taste so sweet. Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, 496 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: you have no room to talk Crozier. Crozier if you 497 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: don't know, it's a Clippers fan, and the Clippers are 498 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: an organization which has never won anything ever. Ever, I 499 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: will say, the new construction of the arena does look 500 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: pretty cool, and they didn't win that. They bought that. 501 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: They've won nothing. It could be a cool arena, but 502 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: they still have won nothing. They haven't. They haven't. They 503 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: played the Lakers this year in the regular season, Yes, 504 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: and did they win or lose? They won those games, 505 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: so they did win something. They did win something. Wait 506 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: wait wait, I'm sorry you measure the Lakers have won something. 507 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: Wait let me finish my point. Keep going with the 508 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: losses and then the Lakers won't even have the playoffs 509 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: to worry about. So what are you talking about I'm 510 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: talking about talking about right now? Are the Clippers going 511 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: to say that? Are the Clippers going to have to 512 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: talk about right now? For how many years? How many years? 513 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: How many years has been since you've been able to 514 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: talk about right now? Or you just keep two years 515 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,959 Speaker 1: World Chapters years? Are the Clippers even now that now 516 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: you're saying this is a certain length of time that 517 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: that needs to be applicable. No, I'm just can't talk 518 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: about I've never won anything other than a regular season game. 519 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: Oh oh, now we have a dendims to it, because 520 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: before it was they've never won a thing. Well, no teams, 521 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: no team has gone zero and eighty two on now. Well, yeah, 522 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: that's right, and if they did, they certainly wouldn't get 523 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. So the games do mean something. But 524 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: the Clippers did lose like seventy three in one year. 525 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: Oh so we're gonna keep going back, Yeah, because there's 526 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: no future for you guys, but there's a present where 527 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: you guys are losing, but you don't want to talk 528 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: about that.
