I think you know what I think 48 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: it is. Also what a part of it is. I 49 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: was straight edge until I was twenty four years old 50 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: and drink and smoke, only had coffee water. That was it. 51 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 3: And I just think that it benefited me in the 52 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: long run. 53 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 5: Absolutely dead. 54 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 6: You have an iconic career, you stay booked and busy 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 6: for years you've been, But how is that? 56 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 3: I just keep I just you know what it is. 57 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 3: It's like I love boxing and I believe in that 58 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: champion spirit, and anytime I got knocked down, I just 59 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: I just rush it off. I'm like, okay, let's go, 60 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like my life was hard 61 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: as a child, you know, not getting a roll, It's 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: not hard. That's just part of life and it's fine. 63 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: And I also think it's because any other actors are listening, 64 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: don't be afraid of audition. Don't think you're above it, 65 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: because that's bullshit. Excuse me, I'm sorry, Okay, okay. And 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 3: because I was a choreographer and all the dancers that 67 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: didn't want to audition for me didn't get the job. 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: Like I had to see what you had you know 69 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: what I mean. It may be different. I know your 70 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 3: great da so, but it may not fit the video 71 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 3: that that I'm working for right now. So it's like that. 72 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: And also be on time, be professional, be courteous, and 73 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: be prepared. And so I think that that has offered 74 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: me longevity as well, you know, because people will say, Okay, 75 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: she works really really hard, go ahead and hire her. 76 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 4: What was your big acting break? I know everybody always 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: talk about you want to live in color, But what 78 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: was the acting break, Like, what was the role that 79 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: caused everything to. 80 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: Take off for you? 81 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: What was my first role? It was the right thing, okay, 82 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: but what really really set it off, in my opinion, 83 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: was white Man Cancer. 84 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah. 85 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: And I fought hard for that one. I fought hard. 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: I was the only person of color in the casting 87 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: room and it was all just a sea of white 88 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: ladies and I was like, oh, dear God, and yeah, 89 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 3: but it's just like that, It's like, all right, it's 90 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 3: another championship round, let's go, let's go. And and man, 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: did I have to talk myself down from the edge. 92 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 3: It was. It was really tough. But yeah, I think 93 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 3: that was the one that really did it. 94 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: How difficult was it back then? Because we all love 95 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: your accent. 96 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: But back then, you know, when you're going into these rooms, 97 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: they might be like, well, who was this accent? 98 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: You know? She said was to New York? Was that 99 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 2: ever a problem? 100 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: All the time? All the time it was was a problem. 101 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: And then I would bring up other actors. I was like, 102 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: you don't have a problem with this accent. She's French, 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: Why why you don't have a problem with her? But 104 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: this person is British. Why don't you have a problem 105 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: with hars You're racism showing. I'm like, yeah, I said it, 106 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 3: you know, and that's who I just was, That's who 107 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 3: I am, you know. And I would challenge them on 108 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 3: it and everything, and sometimes it didn't work out, but 109 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 3: a lot of times it did. And when I first 110 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: went into the industry, the backlash that I really got 111 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 3: was from the Latino community. You're telling me, shut up, 112 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: sit down, stop rocking the boat. And I was like, 113 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: rocking the boat. I was like, what are you talking about? 114 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: All the struggles that you had and have done for me, 115 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: Let me relish in it, you know what I mean? Like, 116 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: what are you talking about? Why aren't you celebrating the 117 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: fruits of your struggle. Why in rock I don't want 118 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: to be in that boat, oh my own boat, you know. 119 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: And it was so that was really hurtful. That was 120 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: something I had to push through and it was just 121 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 3: it was just difficult, Like people don't understand how difficult 122 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: it was for me. But I just, like I said, 123 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: I just kept focused and just kept pushing through, just 124 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: gowing up. 125 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: And it's crazy because that you don't realize until you 126 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 4: get older, like you were kind of like the only 127 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: one back then, but you know, we didn't we didn't 128 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: realize that. We just saw you on TV and oh 129 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: that's Rosie Perez, But yeah, you were like the only 130 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: one back then. 131 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: I was the only one. I was the only one. 132 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: And it was hard also to fight against repeating performances 133 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: like I want you to do what you didn't do 134 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 3: the right thing, No, I want to do that, and 135 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 3: then it was okay, I want you to do what 136 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 3: you did in White Man can't Jump. No, I don't 137 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 3: want to do that. And then it's like I get fearless. 138 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: That was another oh my God, talked about. They made 139 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: me audition four times for that role and Fearless, and 140 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: it was a dramatic role. They didn't want me. They 141 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: wanted an Irish American woman, which was screwed up because 142 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: it was based on a real story and the real 143 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: character was Asian American, right, And so they were saying, 144 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: we think that the interracial aspect between you and Jeff 145 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: Bridges is a concern. So we actually were supposed to 146 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: have a love scene in that movie, and they cut it. 147 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: They thought that the audience wouldn't be prepared for it, 148 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 3: ready for it, but it was. It just was really 149 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 3: really hard, Like people don't understand. It was really really hard. 150 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: And I just kept you know, you want me to 151 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: audition four times. I'm gonna audition four times. I'm not 152 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: gonna let you see me sweat. I probably would go 153 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: home and cry about it, and then the phone would ring, 154 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: they want you back. I'm there, I'm there, I'm gonna 155 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: get on the plane. I'm there. I'm there. Because I 156 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: really wanted it, you know, I really really really wanted it. 157 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: And then when Fearless came around, they were like, oh 158 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: my god, you could do something different. I said, I've 159 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 3: been doing something different. I've been doing something different. That's 160 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: your limitations that you're not able to see that I 161 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: have been doing something different.

They were going to meet with me, but 438 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 3: then they said, oh, we've already made a decision, and 439 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 3: I said, oh man. And but I couldn't hate on 440 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 3: her because she was so good in it too, you know. 441 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 3: So yeah, so there were a. 442 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 6: Couple talk to us about before the new Apple TV 443 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 6: series What is that about? 444 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 3: Oh? That is really it's it's a psychological thriller. It's 445 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: really kind of creepy. The kid in it is really fantastic. 446 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: Billy Cristo is amazing in it. Home Caster is Judith Light, 447 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: Hope Davis all the way down, Robert Townsend, Oh wow, Yeah, 448 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 3: he's great in it. But it's about a man who 449 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 3: recently experienced the death of his wife and he's in 450 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: denial of it and he's not grieving properly. And then 451 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: he meets this boy. This boy just shows upbout his 452 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: house and he doesn't understand why this boy is gravitating 453 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 3: to him. And I play the boy's forster mother and 454 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 3: h and he's very he's a very troubled young kid. 455 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 3: And so what the real theme is about the show 456 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 3: is about is that if you don't get past your past, 457 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 3: it will come back and haunt you. And so in 458 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 3: this move in this TV series, it really is haunting 459 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 3: the things that he won't deal with. And it's also 460 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 3: about past lives, like sometimes if you don't deal with 461 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 3: your trauma, you'll come back to this earth maybe as 462 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 3: another person or another being, but that trauma will come 463 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 3: and double itself until you deal with it. So that's 464 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: not really what the series is about. 465 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 5: Was this role of challenge at all was a big 466 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 5: very different from. 467 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah it is, and it was it was I didn't 468 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 3: want it at first, and Billy was like, oh no, 469 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 3: I got you, don't worry about it, and he was 470 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: very supportive. But I gained twenty over twenty pounds during shooting. 471 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 3: You know. Every time it just got too difficult, I 472 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: would go over to the craft service and go on, you know, 473 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 3: and war Trump was like, it's press.

He goes, really, let me 661 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: show you how to do it, and he did it. 662 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 3: He did it, and after the Amanda Surrounded On Katie 663 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 3: Taylor fight, we will leave in the stadium. And I 664 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 3: was really a sex because I thought Amanda won that fight. 665 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 3: And I saw Jake coming down the hallway and he 666 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 3: had tears in his heart because it's fight a loss, 667 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 3: and I went, you're really true blue boxing? Yeah, man, 668 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 3: and I and I and he went like this, and 669 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 3: I shook his hand and I said, I respect you, sir, 670 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 3: and this is that means a lot to me. I said, 671 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 3: you mean a lot to box, and I respect you. 672 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 3: You really did it, You really put your your money 673 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: where your mouth was, and and good ship. So it 674 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 3: was good. It was good. 675 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 2: So who's your favorite in the fight? Who do you 676 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: want to win? Can you say? Or now that you're 677 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 2: a commentation. 678 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: Because you you know, because of course you came you 679 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: come from the age of Mike Tyson, right, so I 680 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: would just have to say, you leaning, you're not gonna 681 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: say it, but you've seen the Tyson fights. You've seen 682 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: him knock people out in the streets. So it's almost 683 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: like you want to see Mike just one good time. 684 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, let. 685 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 5: Me try, let me try and get something, all right. 686 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 6: You gotta tell us who you want to win or 687 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 6: the ramper that you dated, Yeah, you had a third one. 688 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 6: I know I'm not saying it all right, cool, I 689 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 6: try to try to step you up. 690 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 3: You know, I could give my opinions on the fight 691 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 3: as opposed to who I want to win. So with 692 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 3: Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, I think it's gonna be 693 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 3: it could go either way, honestly, because Jake has his youth, 694 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 3: so there's that stamina that he has an advantage of. 695 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 3: He's been more active. That's a big asset in boxing. 696 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 3: You have to stay active. But the latest videos from 697 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 3: Mike Tyson on social media, You're like, what that is 698 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 3: not the Mike Tyson who even went up against what 699 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 3: was it four or five years ago against Roy Jones 700 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 3: Junior in an exhibition fight. Right, So this is a 701 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 3: two eight fight, two minute, eight round fight, and if 702 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 3: he's looking that good, I think Jake Paul should take 703 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 3: it very seriously. And in the fighters meeting he said 704 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 3: he is taking it seriously. He's not. He believes he 705 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 3: could win. He has that champion belief. But Tyson interviewing him, 706 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 3: it was eerie. It was eerie because he was not 707 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 3: messing around. He was all business. Because I know Mike 708 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 3: Mike is goofy, and he's funny, and he's emotional and 709 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 3: this he had boom in fight mode zone I'm not playing, 710 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 3: And I said, wow, everybody on the fighters meeting, we 711 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 3: were all like and even the guy the executives, anybody 712 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 3: else has another question. They were good. So that's why 713 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 3: I'm saying, Wow, Okay, this is gonna be a really 714 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 3: good one. 715 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: You know, what are the rules? Just so you know 716 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: before you get about here are the rules change? 717 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: Because we heard that the gloves are gonna be bigger, 718 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: and at one time we heard that they're gonna be 719 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: wearing a face mask, but that's not true. So are 720 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: there any rules outside of the normal boxing thing that 721 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: people should be looking forward to besides the too. 722 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 2: Many eight rounds? 723 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 3: No, I think it's and the bigger gloves. 724 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 2: That's it. 725 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,439 Speaker 3: What I think is it's gonna be a real fight. 726 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 3: And I think it was really smart of MVP Promotions 727 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 3: and Netflix to have legitimate boxing matches on that card. 728 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 3: It's not just no disrespect, not just a bunch of 729 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 3: YouTubers or boxers or UFC fighters past their prime. You 730 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 3: have Mario Burials fighting. He is a real champion and 731 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 3: a real contender and he does not play that man 732 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 3: is people spect him. He's a warrior. And then you 733 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 3: have Amanda Sorranto Katie Taylor too. Something boxing fans have 734 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 3: been waiting for forever for these two hopping because it 735 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 3: was supposed to hopping and then the things fell through. 736 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 3: So I think that it's gonna do well. I thought 737 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 3: it was a very very smart thing for those two 738 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 3: companies to put on because boxing fans are going to 739 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 3: watch it because of those two and Mike Tyson, of course, 740 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

Yes, Jake 742 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 3: Paul is going to bring a younger crowd and he 743 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 3: always does. That's why he feels the stadium and everything 744 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 3: like that.
