Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Wow, did you think he
Speaker 1: can do? You hate Gilderman? Hanakkah. This is the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: I'm Sarah Silverman. Let's get right into headlines. Let's begin
Speaker 1: with the lawn musk, Twitter CEO and man who has
Speaker 1: definitely scissored or robots. If you thought your Twitter feed
Speaker 1: was especially flooded with a long tweets this week, you
Speaker 1: weren't alone. Apparently, Alongs tweets weren't going viral enough, so
Speaker 1: he pressured his engineers to design a special algorithm just
Speaker 1: for his tweets so that everyone would see them first,
Speaker 1: because it behooves all of us to be privy to
Speaker 1: the fresh and original insights of the richest man in
Speaker 1: the world. Really, though, this is just the most pathetic
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. I don't understand how someone can
Speaker 1: have fifteen kids and still be an in cell. I
Speaker 1: feel bad for him, I really do. This man paid
Speaker 1: forty four billion dollars to get the same insecurities that
Speaker 1: I have for free. That's one to Turkey. It's been
Speaker 1: ten days since the country was struck by a devastating earthquake,
Speaker 1: but in a small bit of good news, rescue workers
Speaker 1: are still miraculously finding people alive in the rubble just
Speaker 1: yesterday where just yesterday they saved two brothers who survived
Speaker 1: more than two hundred hours by eating protein powder and
Speaker 1: drinking their own urine. Look protein powder, But how amazing
Speaker 1: is that protein powder and urine? That definitely sounds like
Speaker 1: something you could buy from say a Joe Rogan. Thank
Speaker 1: god they had that protein powder down there. That's why
Speaker 1: experts are now saying, in case of an earthquake, try
Speaker 1: to stand in the doorway of a g n C.
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Are you guys familiar with the TV
Speaker 1: network News Max? Oh? You are. It's basically it's basically
Speaker 1: an even more far right Fox News, like if you're
Speaker 1: crazy uncle had a crazy uncle. Anyway, A reporter from
Speaker 1: news Max was at the White House yesterday and he
Speaker 1: asked a very news is MAXI question. One of the
Speaker 1: most prominent themes that we hear from both elected Republicans
Speaker 1: and candidates have to do with, uh, what is called wokeism?
Speaker 1: And so we hear so much talk about woke capitalism,
Speaker 1: a woke military, and so on, And by way of
Speaker 1: trying to clarify this from American people, I wonder if
Speaker 1: we couldn't begin with a threshold question to win, is
Speaker 1: President Biden woke? First of all? To wit? Okay, Fraser,
Speaker 1: I love how these guys are always like the left
Speaker 1: coastal elites now prithee tail, dost thou be workest. A
Speaker 1: person who says to wit is usually a too wat.
Speaker 1: This guy really thinks, is Joe Biden woke? Was like
Speaker 1: a hard hitting question. The real hard hitting question would be,
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden awake? I don't know. I think we're
Speaker 1: just communicating wrong because like what I know woke to
Speaker 1: mean is like learning new things about people or the
Speaker 1: world and then acting accordingly, like basic kindness, maybe a
Speaker 1: gesture of care that people who are more well level
Speaker 1: than you, you know, you know what, Actually you wouldn't
Speaker 1: like it. It's Jesus stuff. But they're like, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I want to push it on me. Nobody's pushing shit
Speaker 1: on you. You're acting like a beta cook. Like woke
Speaker 1: for the right is really just an umbrella term so
Speaker 1: that they don't have to say specifically that they're pieces
Speaker 1: of ship. Like it feels cooler to say I'm not
Speaker 1: woke than the truth, which is I'm terrified of what
Speaker 1: I don't understand, and I only know how to process
Speaker 1: that as anger because I can't look inward to it.
Speaker 1: Someone who's wokenus nobody is wondering about is Kanye West.
Speaker 1: His His decision to go full Nazi hasn't just destroyed
Speaker 1: his own career, but it also really burned Adidas, and
Speaker 1: now the company is looking for a uh, well, let's say,
Speaker 1: a final solution. After cutting ties with Yea better known
Speaker 1: as Kanye West back in October over anti Semitic comments,
Speaker 1: Adidas is now looking into options to salvage its merchandise
Speaker 1: and avoid major losses. So the company says it does
Speaker 1: expect to lose more than one billion dollars by ending
Speaker 1: that yea Zy merchandise line. Adidas could possibly repurpose the
Speaker 1: products now in order to keep their losses at a minimum.
Speaker 1: Some of the options that they are looking at include
Speaker 1: removing the Yeasy label on all of the merchandise or
Speaker 1: selling possibly the smaller markets outside of the United States.
Speaker 1: Says what we've got to stop giving shoe deals to
Speaker 1: celebrities who are cool and start giving them to celebrities
Speaker 1: who are just fine. Why can't Adidas start a Randy
Speaker 1: Newman Line. For Laura on what Adidas can do with
Speaker 1: these sneakers, we turned to dul Say Sloan live at
Speaker 1: Adida's headquarters. Adenis is school, right, anyway to salvage this maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe not. You know that's not my problem,
Speaker 1: that's adidas Is problem. Uh it's called losing money. You know,
Speaker 1: you roll the dives and came up mine comp that's
Speaker 1: all you what the capitalism bitches. Yeah, but well Adidas
Speaker 1: have to throw out all these shoes, like that's so
Speaker 1: waste full. Maybe they just take the labels off. We're
Speaker 1: still gonna know it's those shoes. You can't take the
Speaker 1: label off. You ain't trigger. Nobody is in the Clark
Speaker 1: Kent's Superman situation. But I just don't want to sell them.
Speaker 1: You need to find a different use for these shoes, Like,
Speaker 1: look at these You don't have to throw them away.
Speaker 1: You can just drain pasta in them. And you got
Speaker 1: these boots, Okay, they look like weird blankets. You cut
Speaker 1: them up and using as blankets for small hostages, right,
Speaker 1: and it's like they can't hurt you. You're safe. Now,
Speaker 1: squeeze the yeasies around you and then look at this one.
Speaker 1: That's a little fun. Easy. Come on, you squeeze your
Speaker 1: body wash on it like God attended, and get the scrubbing.
Speaker 1: Oh and this one would be a good manua. What else?
Speaker 1: Just like God intended? Now here's enough idea. Just keeps
Speaker 1: selling them ugly air shoes. The only people buy them
Speaker 1: anymore are Nazis. So then we'll know who the Nazis are.
Speaker 1: You identify the mother for footwear. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You could be able to spot them anywhere, even in
Speaker 1: the bathroom stall, because I know I've been in a
Speaker 1: man's room. Wait, why are you in a man's room?
Speaker 1: Because that's what the men are. It literally says it
Speaker 1: on the door men's rooms. Just what it means is that,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like your plan, But wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: wrong for Adidas to take Nazi money? Oh that's the
Speaker 1: best part. The more money they spent on the shoes,
Speaker 1: the less money they got to spend on Nazi ship right, Okay,
Speaker 1: And then when it's time to fight, they can't buy
Speaker 1: weapons because they spent all our money on size nine
Speaker 1: pasta strainers. Welcome to capitalism and Nazi bitches, What do
Speaker 1: you say? Sign? I don't want we can back and taking. Okay,
Speaker 1: how you can cancel the fight? Put them ba. That's
Speaker 1: Sometimes there are stories that need a little more than
Speaker 1: one take, and for that we go to Roywood Jr.
Speaker 1: And Daisy LD for double take. Hey, I'm Roywood Jr.
Speaker 1: And cheese Daisy L. How are you doing? Oh that's
Speaker 1: enough small talk. Let's get into it, DESI. Today we're
Speaker 1: talking about air travel in America. I don't know about
Speaker 1: you days, but I love flying because, honestly, there's nothing
Speaker 1: better than being trapped in a metal tube with three
Speaker 1: strangers doing the pandemic and all of us praying that
Speaker 1: the pilot ain't too drunk to land. This bitch who
Speaker 1: don't love that, well, I'll be honest, I don't actually
Speaker 1: love that. I gotta tell you I had the worst
Speaker 1: flight last weekend. This can next to me cried the
Speaker 1: entire time, just screaming in my ear. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care your my son, Mommy is trying to watch.
Speaker 1: It's right. You got to force steel, blue steel. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have to do very little for that. I have
Speaker 1: like resting blue steel face. And it's not just me.
Speaker 1: Roy Air travel has gotten so bad recently that Congress
Speaker 1: has been forced to get involved. Senators Ed Markey and
Speaker 1: Richard Blumenthal introduced an Airline Passenger's Bill of Rights aimed
Speaker 1: at requiring airlines to fairly compensate flyers during airline cause
Speaker 1: delays and cancelations. The senators also want to limit fees
Speaker 1: for bags seating, as well as for changes or cancelations.
Speaker 1: If passengers could receive fifty bucks whenever their flight is
Speaker 1: delayed by four hours, I am guaranteeing you there'd be
Speaker 1: a lot fewer delays. Yeah. Yeah, we could soon be
Speaker 1: getting an airline Passengers Bill of Rights. And if it's
Speaker 1: anything like the original Bill of Rights, we just have
Speaker 1: to wait another hundred years for it to apply to
Speaker 1: women in black people, you know. But that's great to hear,
Speaker 1: you know. And I gotta say, is a lot of money.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of money, especially if if you can
Speaker 1: buy two hundred dollar flight for a chance to win
Speaker 1: the grand people are gonna be gambling at the airport
Speaker 1: even bout check and wait for the delay. The sky
Speaker 1: lounge're gonna look like the alf track bed, Like, come on,
Speaker 1: bill to give it up the chemical fill you. I
Speaker 1: for one am glad that they're finally doing something about
Speaker 1: the fees they've been nickel and diming us for years.
Speaker 1: Fees for baggage, feast to print a boarding pass. Now
Speaker 1: there's even fees for picking a seat. Like, what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do if I don't pick a seat? How
Speaker 1: about I just stand the entire like I'll treat your
Speaker 1: damn airplane like it's a subway and stand there brain
Speaker 1: dancing and jerking off. That's true, that's true. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: speaking of jerking off on the airplane, go on, there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of reports lately a passengers stuck on
Speaker 1: the runway for hours, and as the laws of physics state,
Speaker 1: when there's too much time to kill white people, busts
Speaker 1: out the acoustic guitars. No no, no, no, no, no, Look,
Speaker 1: no one has ever been like, you know, who would
Speaker 1: make us delay it? Ass flight? Better? Let's break out
Speaker 1: in a single? Laws also didn't didn't didn't the dude
Speaker 1: who wrote that song didn't he die in a plane crash?
Speaker 1: How How was plane crash? Dude in charge of the
Speaker 1: anthem for air travel? How is he in charge of that?
Speaker 1: And I'm asking you because you white? How how was
Speaker 1: that post? Oh? I don't know, but I'll bring it
Speaker 1: up at the next White people meeting. But yeah, seeing
Speaker 1: John Denver Denver on a flight is like tempting fate.
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't watch Titanic on a cruise. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll check out the titty painting scene. But that's it.
Speaker 1: And one of the big reasons air travel in this
Speaker 1: country is struggling is the f a A or more
Speaker 1: commonly known as fall. That's right, FAW is in a
Speaker 1: lot of trouble right now because we're finding out how
Speaker 1: outdated some of these airports are. I mean, they're tracking
Speaker 1: flights with paper strips. They're not using computers. They're writing
Speaker 1: your flight on a paper strip and putting it up
Speaker 1: on the board. Arts and crafts. O god, how are
Speaker 1: these planes not crashing all the time? Well, they're getting close.
Speaker 1: The f a A is forming it team of experts
Speaker 1: to examine flight safety after several recent close calls involving
Speaker 1: commercial planes of FedEx. Boeing seven sixty seven was about
Speaker 1: to land at Austin's International Airport as a Southwest Airlines
Speaker 1: seven thirty seven was told to take off from the
Speaker 1: same runway. The two planes came within a hundred feet
Speaker 1: of colliding in thick fog. It comes three weeks after
Speaker 1: another near collision at JFK, where a Delta Airlines flight
Speaker 1: abruptly stopped its takeoff as an American Airlines flight taxied
Speaker 1: across the runway in front of it. A mid air
Speaker 1: scare in December just recently came to light. A United
Speaker 1: Airlines plane departing MAUI took a nose dive, plummeting more
Speaker 1: than four hundred feet in about twenty seconds, coming within
Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy five ft of the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 1: Flames shooting out from under the wing of a Delta
Speaker 1: plane traveling from Scotland to New York forced to make
Speaker 1: an emergency landing. Delta blames a mechanical issue. Yeah, no, ship,
Speaker 1: I'm not an engineer. There's I'm not an engineer. But
Speaker 1: if the wing is on fire, that looks like a
Speaker 1: mechanical issue. Yeah. And also, oh my god, can you
Speaker 1: imagine dying in a plane crash on the runway, Like,
Speaker 1: if I'm dying in a plane, I better be in
Speaker 1: the air otherwise I'm just going all the way through
Speaker 1: t s A just to die in a car crash.
Speaker 1: Insult to injury. Now you did, and you don't have
Speaker 1: your full sigh shampoo. You know what, Roy, These incidents
Speaker 1: make me think that we need a new passenger Bill
Speaker 1: of rights. Article one. Airlines should not kill you, Article two,
Speaker 1: Article two. If they do kill you, you get dollars.
Speaker 1: Article three. Get rid of the paper strips, or at
Speaker 1: least laminate them. It's the twentieth century. It's the century.
Speaker 1: Article four. If someone on the flight has to die,
Speaker 1: it should be the person with the acoustic good time fancy.
Speaker 1: And also, let me just slip in Article five. No
Speaker 1: more children on flights. Why what about your kids, especially
Speaker 1: my kids? No more children on flights? Get him off
Speaker 1: works for me. Thanks for chatting desert back to you said,
Speaker 1: thank him, because let me come back. The legendents of
Speaker 1: Karema bil Jabar will be joining me on this show.
Speaker 1: My guest tonight is an NBA legend who will be
Speaker 1: honored by Adidas with a limited edition sneaker collection called
Speaker 1: Evolution of Excellence that celebrates his career across sports and
Speaker 1: social justice. Please welcome, Oh my gosh, Kareema buil Jabbar. Well, well, well,
Speaker 1: well you know when um I when they said I
Speaker 1: could guest host this show. Then they said, who's your
Speaker 1: dream guest? Don't don't say like it does have to
Speaker 1: be realistic, just say one dream gets and then make
Speaker 1: a realistic list. And I said, Kareem abdul Jabbar, And
Speaker 1: let's let's pretend this is like a therapy session. I'm
Speaker 1: your therapist now. Uh. Of course, as everyone knows, Lebron
Speaker 1: James just broke one of your records and you were
Speaker 1: so gracious and there and everything. But how did it
Speaker 1: make you feel? I have to say, I'm pretty glad
Speaker 1: that my role in it was finished, you know, but
Speaker 1: Lebron worked real hard for it. He deserves it. He
Speaker 1: has spent his adult life as a premier athlete and
Speaker 1: done an exceptional job at it, and his heart is
Speaker 1: in the right place. I don't know you probably you
Speaker 1: may or may not know how he sent a whole
Speaker 1: school district to college kids, a whole lot he could
Speaker 1: be doing with that tuition money. You know, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: could be on his own island, but you know that
Speaker 1: that's where his heart is. And so I got a
Speaker 1: lot of respect for him. I wish him will Yeah,
Speaker 1: you you were so gracious and it's such a very's
Speaker 1: an absence of ego. And I heard you sand Jimmy
Speaker 1: Fallon like you were like, oh, it's like a burden
Speaker 1: has been lifted, you know, like it's done with that.
Speaker 1: I'm done with that, you know. And it was just
Speaker 1: I thought that was very interesting and and so cool
Speaker 1: and and you know, it's interesting how great the greats.
Speaker 1: You know, you're real tall, you're gifted at basketball. But
Speaker 1: what people don't realize is the the the work that's
Speaker 1: put into it, that that you were the kid who
Speaker 1: had the keys to the gym after everyone went home
Speaker 1: home and worked on that sky hook and you know,
Speaker 1: and it really is about getting that ten thousand hours
Speaker 1: and being dedicated. And I think that's something that kids
Speaker 1: don't necessarily put together when they see just a star
Speaker 1: or someone who's the goat. You know, it's pretty I
Speaker 1: know that's not a question. I also want to point out,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm very happy for Lebron, but I
Speaker 1: will say that your points were scored two at a time,
Speaker 1: mostly at home. A lot of people don't put that together.
Speaker 1: But yeah, thank you. Okay, let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to ask it, but my
Speaker 1: best friend, tall John he's it's an un ironic nickname.
Speaker 1: He's tall and he's six ten, and I remember he's
Speaker 1: very shy, he's not a performer. And I remember he
Speaker 1: told me, I know what it's like to be famous,
Speaker 1: because when I walk into a own, people are like,
Speaker 1: look at the guy. You know, look what all the
Speaker 1: guy is. You know, as a eighth grader who is
Speaker 1: seven ft tall, I bet you can relate to what
Speaker 1: it is to be famous in the way of it
Speaker 1: being very self conscious, you know, very kind of and
Speaker 1: you know, I remember seeing that like you were fourteen,
Speaker 1: you're you were an eighth grader playing with the seniors
Speaker 1: because you were so tall and you it was one
Speaker 1: time you cried and that was what made you put
Speaker 1: on this game face that's kind of stoicism and in
Speaker 1: a way that's kind of a survival skill. Do you
Speaker 1: think that's part of being this kid that was so
Speaker 1: tall at such a young age. I think at that
Speaker 1: time that's how I coped, you know, because I didn't
Speaker 1: know how to cope, you know. And I remember I
Speaker 1: was that age fourteen and I went to Madison Square
Speaker 1: Garden and to see a game and the guy asked
Speaker 1: me for my autograph. Let's you don't know who I am. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know you are. No, you don't know who I am.
Speaker 1: And we went back and forth for I said, well,
Speaker 1: I'll get rid of this guy. And I signed my
Speaker 1: my name and he said, this is some stupid name
Speaker 1: you thought and evolved it up and he threw it away.
Speaker 1: And you know, talk about crust egos, but you know
Speaker 1: that that's, uh, that's how you learn the ropes. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta have to take your licks. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not it's not fun, but you know, being uh, the
Speaker 1: person that I am and what I wanted to do
Speaker 1: in my life, I've been able to do it since
Speaker 1: I've retired, you know, I mean, I'm you know, I
Speaker 1: was always a fan of your basketball, but I became
Speaker 1: moved to super fandom when just reading your writing and
Speaker 1: your your pieces and your sub stack and your you
Speaker 1: know you. I mean, I think of myself as someone
Speaker 1: who does odd jobs. You I feel very much kindred
Speaker 1: spirit with you. You know, you write for Time Magazine
Speaker 1: and then you've got your sub stack and then like
Speaker 1: you wrote for Veronica Mars and then you know, like
Speaker 1: so cool. You know, you watch The Bachelor and you
Speaker 1: write on pieces on it for you would write for
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Reporter, and they were so thoughtful and and um,
Speaker 1: they weren't just fluff, even the Bachelor stuff, because it
Speaker 1: is so fascinating to watch these people and to think
Speaker 1: about what's going on in their minds. And well, you know,
Speaker 1: my my manager and friend, uh Demor Morales enabled me
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to express all of this
Speaker 1: and make it work. Uh as as a living, you know,
Speaker 1: getting paid for doing something that you love is like
Speaker 1: almost as good as playing basketball and getting Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: there are people there. It's such a rare gem of
Speaker 1: a thing when you know, like singer songwriters, Like when
Speaker 1: someone can write beautiful songs and they happen to be
Speaker 1: great singers, like that's just such a wonderful, happy accident.
Speaker 1: And with you with writing, you have all this experience,
Speaker 1: all these ideas, all this these you know, progressive thoughts.
Speaker 1: You're so introspective, and then on top of it, you're
Speaker 1: this like beautiful writer. You know, like the way you
Speaker 1: put words together, I find, you know, thrilling. You know,
Speaker 1: Cole Porter was that talented in that he could write
Speaker 1: songs and write the lyrics for them and they go
Speaker 1: together like hand and glove. Very few people like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I did all. I did a lot of this,
Speaker 1: But hold on, I'm not going to do that one yet.
Speaker 1: Hold on, listen. I've got little notes for myself. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's this one I got to know, Robin Williams. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he you and him have U You share the
Speaker 1: same you can You share the same talent in that
Speaker 1: you can get people to laugh when they're hurting. And uh,
Speaker 1: Robin was exceptional at that and uh, I'm so sorry
Speaker 1: he's going. He was. He was a beautiful man and
Speaker 1: uh I missed him. But you've resived this spirit. You
Speaker 1: are much like how Robin with what being Billy Crystal started. Um,
Speaker 1: I can't remember what's called comic release. Um. You you've
Speaker 1: been very active in activist. You've been an activist for
Speaker 1: a long time. What what was that inciting incident? What
Speaker 1: got you? Well? For me, it was the murder of
Speaker 1: Emmett Till that that bothered me and I couldn't understand it.
Speaker 1: I asked my parents to explain it. They didn't have
Speaker 1: the words. So I've spent my life since then trying
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get us all to tamp
Speaker 1: down on the hatred and learn to know and respect
Speaker 1: and love each other. That that's where we gotta go
Speaker 1: and we gotta get you. Yeah. Yeah, I think we all.
Speaker 1: I think we're so different and we're the same, you know.
Speaker 1: I was like, like, we're just that. We're the same
Speaker 1: as this mug, this table, We're just molecules, were not different.
Speaker 1: When people in one planet, we've got to take care
Speaker 1: of it and take care of each other. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I I I think like when everything's get too heavy,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, come on, we're out of space, like
Speaker 1: nothing matters and we're going to blow the place up.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, who you know? Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: know you've been in a million things and you've been
Speaker 1: uh doing You're you're so vital to me. You're in
Speaker 1: your most vital, most exciting years. But it's going back
Speaker 1: to because I watched the documentary Minority of One, which
Speaker 1: I really loved. I hope you're happy with it. I
Speaker 1: thought it was spectacular. Um, well thank you. On why
Speaker 1: I said thank you, thank you? They were clipping for
Speaker 1: me just because I asked a question. So well, um,
Speaker 1: but when you did airplane, it was kind of it
Speaker 1: was transformational for you, because you had always been this
Speaker 1: kind of game face, stoic dude, maybe protecting yourself in
Speaker 1: some way. The airplane enabled me to make fun of
Speaker 1: my image and laugh about it and got people they
Speaker 1: stopped thinking about that is who I was. And it
Speaker 1: was right around the time we won a world championship.
Speaker 1: That helped. But it feels like it unlocked something in
Speaker 1: you where you were able to not be how other
Speaker 1: people define you. Right, And I had like a certain
Speaker 1: fear of its posing myself at times, you know, just
Speaker 1: my inner thoughts and emotional feelings. Really was worried about
Speaker 1: sharing tho us and I've gotten over that. So we
Speaker 1: tend to have shame around our own feelings and we
Speaker 1: forget that's all we are, right, We're just people like
Speaker 1: everyone else. You know, That's how it works. I'm going
Speaker 1: to put my face in your hand, but I know
Speaker 1: that's me and I was just gonna end this, but
Speaker 1: I just want to keep going, but I'll end it.
Speaker 1: But I just want to keep going, but I'll end it.
Speaker 1: How do you know what I really want to ask
Speaker 1: you about? Is um also your friendship with with Bruce Lee?
Speaker 1: You know, I just you know it should because When
Speaker 1: I met Bruce, Um I wasn't really uh you know,
Speaker 1: hot shot professional athlete and he was working as uh
Speaker 1: Cato in the Green Hornet and um, I just wanted
Speaker 1: to study Chinese martial arts. And the guy sent me
Speaker 1: over to him who knew him, and said, hey, try
Speaker 1: and work this with Bruce. And the way he he
Speaker 1: really showed me how powerful his his art was. When
Speaker 1: you know, he had me punch and kick a bag.
Speaker 1: He get behind, put his weight behind it and said
Speaker 1: punching kick it and I did. He said that was interesting,
Speaker 1: and then he had his wife come out and he
Speaker 1: told me, all right, you put your weight behind the bag,
Speaker 1: and I did, and she kicked the bag and my
Speaker 1: my body flew off of it. And I I gotta
Speaker 1: learn that about it has just learning how to control
Speaker 1: your inner forces in a way that uh enable you
Speaker 1: to deal with someone who might be trying something wrong.
Speaker 1: You know, you if you learn how to move and
Speaker 1: uh no I do, but I do know it's it's
Speaker 1: it's harder to talk about it than it is to
Speaker 1: do it, you know. So if you if you have
Speaker 1: the time and inclination, do you know what's really good
Speaker 1: uh that you can do? On your own. Taichi. Great exercise,
Speaker 1: here you go. I don't know, I'm just making it
Speaker 1: up from what I see what we'll do in the
Speaker 1: Keep doing that for a couple of months and you'll
Speaker 1: notice an increase in strength and balance and endurance and stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love Bruce Lee. You know what he reminds me
Speaker 1: of you with him is just the idea of be
