Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the 74 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: I think that right, Yeah, that is I'm not smared 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: too scared. God gives to live for that is the 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: yea the children thing now, m kids, see this is 77 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: this where you sucked up. I'm about to buy my 78 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: motorcycle now. Like. The thing they say about motorcycles is 79 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: that our brain like sometimes doesn't register them because our 80 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: brain is just like the way it's built. When we're 81 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: out driving, we're just looking for car shaped things that 82 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: are moving like cars, and so people will just drive 83 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: like it's not there. And I feel like motorcycles like 84 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: good motorcyclists recognize that and like drive defensively about it, 85 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: and then bad motorcyclists are like, I'm gonna take advantage 86 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: of that. They don't see me, like I'm behind you, 87 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: now I'm in front of you. I mean, all it 88 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: takes is you one time to almost kill a motorcyclist 89 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: to forever be afraid of killing one another motorcyclist as 90 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: a as a driver. Oh, in San Francisco, it's insane. 91 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: They're everywhere and those heels and everything. You're like, what happens? 92 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: Will you get hit? Sometimes that's what all of them say. 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you get hit. What's something people think is true? 94 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 1: You know to be false. So I had a couple 95 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: of ideas for this, and uh, like the netfl X 96 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: model is unsustainable, and now he's like, don't do that. 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: Do something fun. So the myth that I'm going to 98 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: dispel is the Netflix model is Uh, mozzarella sticks are 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: bad for you. That's the myth, and I'm gonna say no, 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: they're great for you. Follow the logic on this. Have 101 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: you guys ever been in a high stress situation? Yes? 102 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: Every day?

I never felt 104 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: different from the womb to the two. So have you 105 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: ever been in a more stressful situation? Yes? How does 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: your body feel that very very tight? Yes?

This is like, okay, we're I 110 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: don't know why we decided to sell a TV show 111 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: to the coach. We're writing scripts for Preger University videos. 112 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: But it was all about how frack it was there. 113 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: It was about a fracking team and how they're saving 114 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: the world and like discovered there's like a whole underground civilization. Hell, 115 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: it was right there in front of us the whole time. Um. 116 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: So it was about six years ago now, uh and 117 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: um I got um chest pains from this.

They're just caricature 162 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: w a caricatures of like something but like not actually 163 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: believe probably authentic in any way. Right well, but then 164 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: I think, but but really, the artists that do really 165 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: well are the actual artists who are really like, this 166 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: is me, this is what I'm doing, this is how 167 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: I'm choosing to express myself, no matter what the genres, 168 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: because I think there's a sincerity about someone really expressing 169 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: themselves truly that no matter what the beats are, the lyrics, 170 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: or the package, it just it just connects with people 171 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: on a deeper level. You know. I think that authenticity 172 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: is a term that's thrown around a lot these days, 173 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: and and and I and look, I think that I 174 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: am very authentic. I think I have a very authentic voice. 175 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: I think that my memoir is very authentic, and anything 176 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:46,199 Speaker 1: that I do is authentic. Um So, if people are 177 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: going to be storytellers and the claim is that they 178 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: are telling their own story right as opposed to writing fiction, 179 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: then I want authenticity. And I think that m c 180 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: s would probably consider of themselves storytellers. I think the 181 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: best of them are. And here in I also want authenticity. 182 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: I think That's why I think I'm having an issue 183 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: with saying, Okay, you know, I'm down with this, or 184 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: I do that, or you know, going back to the 185 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: guys I was telling you about in the industry, who 186 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: you know suddenly acted like they were, you know, so 187 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: so down. I mean to me, one of the most 188 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: beautiful manifestations of authenticity and hip hop was Redman's episode 189 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: of Cribs. You know this is you know for that 190 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: show MTV Cribs. They used to rent houses for the rappers, 191 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: they used to rent cars for the rappers. So that's 192 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the furthest thing from authenticity, right, that's the opposite. And 193 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: he's so disrupted that he completely subverted that most what's right, 194 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: right because right because exactly here, here's the here's the 195 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: box on top of them, here's a cereal box on 196 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: top of my fridges has the dollar bills, right, And 197 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: I think that's also speaks very much to his talent 198 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: and his confidence and knowing there's nothing that I could 199 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: do or show you that's going to ever shake who 200 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: I am as Red Man. And so the notion that 201 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: there is a show based on luxury, on aspirational living 202 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: and it's all about consumerism, that too, is kind of 203 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: offensive to me. I never fucking watched that show. I 204 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: never watched I never watched Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. 205 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: I never watched any of those things that shoved in 206 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: my face. Wouldn't your life be amazing if it was this, 207 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: because those are not the things that define happiness external, 208 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: that's right, They're completely external. And look, I would love 209 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: a nice, big fat crib. I'd love to fucking fly 210 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: private and all that. I would love that, but that's 211 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: not I'm not on the paper chase. So the fact 212 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: that there there there was so much programming. I don't 213 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: know if there's anymore. I don't really watch television like that. 214 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: But the fact that there was so much programming around, 215 00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: um wanting to be wealthy and live in luxury, I 216 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: think is kind of gross to the point that you 217 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: fake it again. It's fake it, right, rent this house 218 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: with which house do you want? I want the one 219 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: with the fucking big gass, you know. I want the 220 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: one with the big gass aquarium. And it's got to 221 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: have the ye, I don't know, obscene aquarium. Okay, Well, yeah, 222 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: just all of those markers of success which are firmly 223 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: based in capitalism, absolutely right, which kind of goes back 224 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: to the conversation about billionaires like capital and capitalism. My 225 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: girlfriend Trevial lindsay, it's a capitalism makes us ship hard, 226 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: so it makes it hard you know, it's it just 227 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: it just necessarily, if you think about it, it it necessarily 228 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: compromises everything we do. I own a home, right, Yeah, Well, 229 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 1: and I think it's funny too, as you say, like 230 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: they need to sell a mirage of aspirational wealth and 231 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: things like that, because to to really inoculate people or 232 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: get people to buy into that thinking is the precisely 233 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: kinds of ship you see in the form of like centrism, 234 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: where really evaluating what the issues are and if there 235 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: is a class of wealth in this country that is 236 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: actually working against everything and a lot of systemic issues 237 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: are coming from this mentality of like consume, consolidates, gather 238 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: as much as possible to the detriment of others. You Like, 239 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: that's sort of how these programs function because it's sort 240 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: of like this thing in the back of your mind. 241 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: It's like why don't should I be Should I be 242 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: mad at millionaires? Because like what if I'm a millionaire? 243 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: You know, like that would be sick. So maybe I 244 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: should go easy on them because that could be me, 245 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like there's that suddenly works 246 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: on your subconscious because for me, as a fucking what 247 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: fourteen year old probably watching cribs at the time fifteen, 248 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: I was fully fully I'm sure you found a completely 249 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: I went to the back of the Source magazine and 250 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: ordered fake canary yellow diamond areas and ship. I wanted 251 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: to fucking show out because in my mind that really 252 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: was I had a very one dimensional idea of what 253 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: success or happiness as do most of that. Absolutely, but 254 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: that's but again, that's where we live. We live in America, 255 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: right right. I love fancy things. I wear a Gucci hat, 256 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: I buy product shoes. You know, I I absolutely am 257 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: part of this system. There's no doubt in my mind. 258 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: You know. The other thing I think about you guys 259 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: in terms of authenticity is that you know, I came 260 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: up in an erraw where there was no social media, righty, 261 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: And so I think about I think, is it safe 262 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: to say that Instagram is probably the most robust platform 263 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: for artists more definitely more so than Twitter and Facebook. Yeah. Yeah, 264 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: it depends on where you Yeah Instagram for sure. Right. 265 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: So let's say I have one, two, three, ten million followers, 266 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: and it's all about pictures. So it's all about what 267 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: I wear, where I live, what I drive, whom I'm fucking, 268 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: what I'm eating what I'm drinking. I mean, I cannot imagine, 269 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: you guys, the how onerous it is to sustain this 270 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: big willie. Back in the day, we used to say 271 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: big Willie, this big willy lifestyle, you know. I mean, 272 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: you know, so what if you walk down the street 273 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: and you just want to like, you're not wearing whatever 274 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: the fuck or whatever the brands are, whatever the sneakers are, 275 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. You know, I never I never 276 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: want to be in a position where I'm going to 277 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: be I take uber pools. I'm a fucking immigrant. When 278 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: I look at the four dollar price difference, I'm like, 279 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: I could afford the four dollars, but I can't prostitutionally. 280 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: As an immigrant, I can't tell a voice in your yeah, 281 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: my mother, Yeah, it's my mother going, why don't you 282 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: take the subway? Right? And I'm like, I'm treating myself 283 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: to a pool. But just the notion of, you know, 284 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: going back to authenticity, a lot of that too, I 285 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: think is not necessarily authentic because I think a lot 286 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: of the artists out there are spending their money on 287 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: these things that present a lifestyle. But then, do you 288 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: own a home, right, do you have a trust for 289 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: your children, right, where is your money parked? Right? So 290 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: you might not, you might not go into the stock 291 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: market or whatever, but is it somewhere Because some of 292 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: these guys, millions of dollars will go through their hands 293 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: and leave their hands. And that's okay. Look, if I 294 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: was a nineteen year old kid, I'd spend the ship 295 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: out of my money. I would be. I would be, 296 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: I would be off the chains, I would be all 297 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the rails. I would be foolish. Right. But the notion 298 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: that I now, oh, fuck you guys, I gotta post. 299 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: Hang on, I gotta go buy these shoes.

But we are living 324 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: in a time where there where we can actually buy 325 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: a certain kind of beauty. Right, So if we if 326 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: we have the means, and we're all going towards frankly, 327 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: what I think is a very a narrow right the 328 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: definition of beauty. Well, first of all, we're gonna become 329 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: more homogeneous, which I never like, right, And then what 330 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: does it mean for me raising a daughter who was 331 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: a yellow girl again in a white world, right, who 332 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: does not fit into this paradigm of beauty. How do 333 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: I tell her if she says to me, and she 334 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: never would, but if she said to me, Mommy, I 335 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: want to get this job or that job or whatever, 336 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: you know, the things that we have to battle, and 337 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: so to be a famous woman too, Like nobody gives 338 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: a funk what a man eats. Okay, nobody gives a fuck. 339 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: But if somebody sees an actress, let's say she's a 340 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: thin actress and she's eating a cheeseburger, Like, what that's 341 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: a fucking story. Now, who she's brave? Yeah, right, exactly, 342 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: She's brave for eating what she wants human beings. Yeah, yeah, 343 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: ah man, it's uh yeah. And I think also, like 344 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: growing up in l Amen, I've I see how quickly 345 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: people's ship gets poisoned by this like performative. I've heard 346 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: that too, like wealth ship, and it's yeah, it's and 347 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: the beauty right, like if I'm going to go out 348 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: and I'm going to be on the red car, but 349 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: you know what, Sophia is not quite pretty. You know what, 350 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: I think I have to upgrade from Sophia, right right, right, 351 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: I've got to get somebody who's younger and thinner. Yes, 352 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: And yeah, they're like, oh, well, like I can't pull 353 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: up to a party with you because you're college to 354 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: that's right. And I can't pull up in this car either, yeah, exactly, 355 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: Like okay, what you can park your prelude around the corner, right, Yeah, 356 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: we'll act like our limo broke down. Okay, that goes 357 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: mom the city bike in New York. Yeah, and I 358 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: take gouberpools there you go. I mean, but that's the thing, like, right, 359 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: I think it's about people being able to realign what 360 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: makes them happy or redefine what makes them happy. I 361 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: think because we have because consumer culture makes us think 362 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: when I attain X, then I will be happy. That's 363 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: not I will be happy. Right, then I can attain whatever, 364 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 1: and and those things have to be the gravy, not 365 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: the meat. Right, Like my X and I talked about 366 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: this in my memoir is a three four generation Joleon Monk. 367 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: And when we started seeing each other, I you know completely. 368 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: I was a stylist and he started wearing product sport 369 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and he looked really great, and 370 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: I remember people looking askance at him and they're like, oh, 371 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know that Buddhist monks could wear a product 372 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: like you know what sucker they call me, because it's 373 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: not about it's not about him wearing the product. It's 374 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: about him being attached to it. And he would never 375 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: be attached right right, right right, he fucking slept on 376 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: a concrete floor for like, I don't think he's going 377 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: to care if he can't wear a fucking product jacket tomorrow. 378 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: It's like not having running water will kind of that 379 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: exactly exactly the notion. It's not about having it for me, 380 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: it's about I have to actively exercise not being attached 381 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: to it. And I think that what's really really important 382 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: for us spiritually and just for our soul and our 383 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: our internal happiness is to not let the external world 384 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: define it. Am I happy if I buy a new 385 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: pair of shoes, Sure I am. But does that to 386 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: find my happiness or define me? Of course it does, 387 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: because if if the shoes are taken away and it 388 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: sucks you up, then right, that's exactly what happens. It's 389 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: the same thing with praise, right of getting too attached 390 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: to people's praise it's like, yes, that can feel good, 391 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: but if that becomes your be all, end all, what 392 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: do you do when that you no longer hear that 393 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: from It's like it's a good reminder, but I don't 394 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: need that. I don't feed off. That's not my fucking oxygen. 395 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: You have to have your your internal barometer and your 396 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: internal compass have to be so fucking solid. And then 397 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: all of it is like you take it and it 398 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: comes and it goes and it's fine, smooth like water baby. 399 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. It's like Bruce Lee, you like water, my friend. 400 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take a quick break and we're back. 401 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Lebron James. Uh. This this upset me 402 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: more than I more than it should have, more than 403 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: I cared to admit. Yeah. Um So, look, the n 404 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: B a uh and pretty much any company doing business 405 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: with China that's an American based company is going through 406 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: a bit of a time now where people have to 407 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: be like, should we talk out loud in favor of 408 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: people who are being oppressed by this autocratic regime? I 409 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: don't know, order like money better. And the NBA saga 410 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: unfolded when Darryl Moria from the Rockets tweeted out an 411 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: image and solidarity of the Hong Kong protests and then 412 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: fired dude cause a cause of massive profits fire like 413 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: Leaning Sports, where ended their deal with the Rockets ten 414 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,479 Speaker 1: Cent like every company a lot of companies are doing 415 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: business with the NBA, or like, we're done. Harden and 416 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrooke in the immediate aftermath were like, we love 417 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: China is actually really tight to me fans, They're super 418 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: tight author communism slash capitalism, so sick though whatever, I 419 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: guess I'm more I was more willing to forgive that 420 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: because it was the day after and they were clearly 421 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: like had a gun to their head, whereas this is like, yeah, well, 422 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: I think week and a half later, Lebron James he 423 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: has to say so. I'm sure he was probably asked, 424 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's how it all happened, and his answer anyway, 425 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: he just has this quote he said, I don't want 426 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: to get into a verbal feud with Daryl Morey, but 427 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand, 428 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: and he spoke, and he spoke, uh, and so many 429 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: people could have been harmed, not only financially physically emotionally, spiritually, 430 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: So just be careful what we tweet and say, and 431 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: we do even though yes, we do have freedom of speech, 432 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: but there can be a lot of negative that comes 433 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: with that too. I mean, unless we play in China, 434 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: than we don't. Right, I'm just what what was? What? What? 435 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: What is he? I don't understand that he he he 436 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: wasn't educated on the situation. What is he misinformed by? 437 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: I was confused? What? What? What did le Bron James 438 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: think that dare almore? He didn't know when he tweeted 439 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: support for the people in Hong Kong who are being 440 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: like riot policed to I think I don't know the 441 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: cinecals and the whole like the law, like what was 442 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: going on with the is an extradition? I forget the 443 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: exactly Like what the reason why rendition? I think? Yeah? 444 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: I think really what it says the translation might be 445 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: talking about China can funk up everyone's money. We aren't 446 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: willing to confront their transgressions because it would risk our revenues, 447 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: so we have chosen to ignore this because money is 448 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: more important. Yeah, I think is what he meant, right, See, guys, 449 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: it's a class war. No, but but again, you know, 450 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: and it's a very odd It was a weird thing 451 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: to say, and I can only imagine the league's biggest 452 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: star probably has to send up a flare to Chinese 453 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: business interests to say like, I am still in line 454 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: with whatever y'all are trying to But even the NBA, 455 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: after they initially issued a statement that was like kind 456 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: of the in this direction, that was sort of like, well, 457 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: you know, there's multiple sides to everything. Uh, Adam Silver 458 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: came out and was, you know, said made a statement 459 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: that was definitely picking the side of you know, freedom 460 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,239 Speaker 1: of speech and pissing China off. So like it's not 461 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: like Adam Silver was behind him being like say this 462 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: or or else. Yeah, No, it was all about not 463 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: fucking up his money. It's like he's about progressive values 464 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: until it becomes unconfident. It's a little Yeah, it's a 465 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: little sad to see because on one hand, I I 466 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: can understand privately if he's what he's saying is to 467 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: someone else who goes man, Darrell should have known. He's like, 468 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: we've we're in bed with China. That's like a third 469 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: rail topic, like you only talk about the business and 470 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: that don't talk about anything about what their government does 471 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: or anything to do with their domestic reform. You can 472 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: talk about the meg another international co production and how 473 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: and how sick Leaning footwear is. But like, that's where 474 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: I wish you would have just not said anything at all, 475 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: because I can stomach him just being, you know, about 476 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: his money and not really trying to act like he's 477 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: some kind of savior type person. But it's drawn a 478 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: lot of criticism. Him saying this has drawn a lot 479 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,719 Speaker 1: of krypt Muhammad Ali's wife was like, Muhammad Ali wouldn't 480 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: have done that, and he wouldn't have. No, he wouldn't have. 481 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: But I I do think it's sometimes important to remember, 482 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: like you you shouldn't have your hopes like pinned on. 483 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: Like I don't watch athlete interviews after the game for 484 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: a reason, like they are always boring as fuck, and 485 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: like I like they don't have interesting performances. Thank God, 486 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: I want to thank Leaning sportswear. Jesus. I want to 487 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: thank I'm sorry I mispoke, not Jesus jimping. She's in 488 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: Christ Yeah, but Ali Kaepernick, Uh, Like you can't you 489 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: can't really count that many athletes who were like important, 490 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: you know, O J. Simpson on Twitter. Uh, sorry, obviously 491 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: you know the great What did O J say? Oh 492 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: my god, he's just much He's incredible. Love China make 493 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: some great knives, right, Well, I think that's the whole deal, 494 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: right as certain people in your activism, if you're really 495 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: about your activism, you will follow that path wherever leads 496 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: you for the faint of heart. And I think that's 497 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: what we see is at the end of the day, 498 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: Lebron James is a capitalist. That's his prerogative. I mean, 499 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: this is what Michael Jordan's probably would have done or said, Yeah, 500 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: he would have been protesters exactly. I mean, is that 501 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: your Michael Jordan impression? No, we just not. I don't. 502 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a way to properly do Michael Jordan's. 503 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: But but he did say sound like kids. Yeah, he's 504 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: he's not a very kind guy. But like you know, 505 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: for example, you know Ennis Cantor, who's a Turkish player. 506 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: He tweeted out basically after came out, he said, have 507 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: so anyway and his Cantor is basically cannot go back 508 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: to Turkey dead. Yeah, And and and his Cantor has been 509 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: outspoken and a very big critic of Ara to Wan 510 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: and so that comes with consequences, and he tweeted, haven't 511 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: seen or talked to my family five years, jailed my dad, 512 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: my siblings can't find jobs, revoked my passport, international arrest warrant, 513 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: my family can't leave the country. Got death threats every day, 514 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: got attacked, harassed, tried to kidnap me. In Indonesia, freedom 515 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: is not free. And I think that sort of realigning 516 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: the stakes for people here. It's like this isn't just 517 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: some It's not just like is the is it? Did it? 518 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: Was it? Yanni or Laurel. It's like here, it's not like, 519 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm either cool with this or no, actually 520 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: this is actually and I cannot abide by this. It 521 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: just depends on your point of view. And again should 522 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: have taken other people's point of views into account. Take 523 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: the middle road like most people and just don't say 524 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: anything at all, you know, but if you're going to don't, 525 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: don't don't speak speak on the right side please. Um. 526 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: By the way, has anyone ever done an arid Juan 527 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: slash and one mash up? Because I would that. Yeah, 528 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: I mean, his crossover was masked. I saw him fucking 529 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: spin hot sauce in half. It was incredible. What is 530 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: a myth? What's something people think is true? You know 531 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: to be false that Asian men aren't sexy? Okay, okay, 532 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem if you have a preference. 533 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: I totally get that. We all we all have preferences. 534 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: But when people make the blanket statements that's right, Come on, everybody, 535 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: nobody finds Asian sexy. Um, I want to slap the 536 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: ship out because you are effectively erasing a whole gender, 537 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: of a whole race. And I've been thinking about this 538 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: a lot, you guys, in terms of my memoir, visibility 539 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: and eraser and black women too erased, me, too erased, right, 540 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: and how we actively have to ourselves und erase ourselves 541 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: and give ourselves the visibility, which isn't fair. We shouldn't 542 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: have to do that, we should just have it right, 543 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: but we don't, so we have to fight for that. 544 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: So you know the notion, I mean, the father of 545 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: my two children is a thirty four generation Shallon monk 546 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: who could kill you with his bare hands in thirty seconds. 547 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: But there are a myriad other incredibly sexy man Bruce Lee, 548 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: god reciscal Chean Fat, Tony Long, I mean, Jake CHOI. 549 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: It's just to the way that the West has systematically 550 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: emasculated and castrated my brothers while simultaneously exoticizing, eroticizing, and 551 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: fetishizing me. Isn't fury? Yeah, um, you fell in love 552 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: with Chian Fat because who um? So I grew up 553 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: yellow in a white world and yellow wanting to be 554 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: white in a white world. And then I heard hip 555 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: hop that I moved to New York and then I 556 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: then I meet Wu Tang and you know they're talking 557 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: about you know, you know there's that great skin on 558 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: thirty six Chambers where Ray is saying, you know, meth, 559 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 1: where's my killer tape? Where's my killer tape? And and 560 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, you know what, I'm gonna pay 561 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: attention to this because they were so deeply respectful of 562 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: Asian culture in general. But they loved John Woo. So 563 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: I watched The Killer, and I watched Hard Boiled, and 564 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: I went down the John rabbit hole and I watched 565 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: all of his movies. I still have the laser discs. 566 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: I watched all of his movies. Still. I actually still 567 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: have a way to google it. Um, I've I don't 568 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,760 Speaker 1: know how many times I've seen The Killer, Um, I don't. 569 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: It's my favorite movie all time, of all time. Chian 570 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: Fat is his muse in the same way that DeNiro 571 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: um of course, as he's mused. And to me, John 572 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: Woo was the greatest director of all time and Giant 573 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 1: Fad is the greatest actor of all time. And I 574 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: think that what Asian action movies managed to do that 575 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that Western ones are able to do 576 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: is infuse philosophy. And maybe that comes from the martial 577 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: arts tradition, right, because in the martial arts movies, you 578 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: have action, but you always have philosophy, whether it's Buddhism 579 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: or Taoism or you know, a form of Confucianism. And 580 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: so a perfect example, I'll tell you there's a movie 581 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: called It Departed, right, and it was huge at one 582 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: the Academy Award that year. Um. That movie was a 583 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: remake of a Hong Kong movie called Infernal Affairs, and 584 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: it was directed by Andy Law. I believe now, if 585 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: you watch The Departed, it was my favorite movie of 586 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: that year. If you watch The Departed and then you 587 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: watch Infernal Affairs, you can see that The Departed had 588 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: to have a Hollywood andy right in a way that 589 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: Infernal Affairs did not feel beholden to, making you know 590 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be right, the bad guy's going to 591 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: get it, and the conflict and there were great actors 592 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: in the department and it's going to He's an amazing director. 593 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: But the conflict that was demonstrated in Infernal Affairs was 594 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: made that movie so much more touching and compelling, emotionally 595 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: compelling for me. Does it end with a rat coming 596 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: in and winking at the camera. That should be the 597 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:44,239 Speaker 1: alternate flip your laser disc over. Alright, guys, we have 598 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: to get to the story of Robert Downey Jr's return 599 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: to the big screen silver screen Tempole post COMMI Robert 600 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: Downey Jr. Is do it all just like Joker, So 601 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: this is like Joker. It's equally anticipated. Also won the 602 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: award for Top Film at the Venice Film Festival when 603 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: it premiered there, Yeah do little uh sobbing in the audience. 604 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: So this movie, I think technically is the opposite of 605 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 1: those attributes, and that it was set for to be 606 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: released last spring and has instead been held for January, 607 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: which is generally like studio dumping ground where they just 608 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: all the I mean it's a kids movie, right, So 609 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: I don't know that like a kids movie. I mean 610 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: it is a kids movie because Dr Doolittle lives in 611 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: an enchanted castle where he has a toy train running 612 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: through it for some reason. Uh like a weird Fao 613 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: schwartz in mushroom. Yeah, like toys the Robin Williams movie. 614 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: Love it, but it's so what One sign that we're 615 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: in on shaky ground is that Robert Downey Junior, in 616 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: order to keep himself focused, attempted a Welsh accent. Yeah. 617 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 1: I don't know what that was. She literally said, he's 618 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: doing it as a fun challenge for himself. A Welsh accent. 619 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: So it is Christian Bale's accent, which if you've ever 620 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: listened to Christian Bale in interviews, sometimes he sounds like 621 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: he has an accent, sometimes he doesn't. It's like, why 622 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: does Christian Bale have a fake accent? He doesn't. He 623 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: has a Welsh accent, which even Welsh people are like, 624 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: it's really a weird accent, or depending on where you are, 625 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: just differ. I mean, Katherine Zeta Jones is also Welsh, 626 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: and you're like, I it's like vaguely English but so 627 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: like Madonna. Yeah, like Lindsay Lohan. Like the other time 628 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: that somebody tried to do a really difficult accent. Leonardo 629 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: DiCaprio did a South African accent in Blood Diamond, and 630 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: everyone's like, it's the worst accent work ever. But then 631 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: South some South African people were like, no, it's actually 632 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: really good, but we just have a weird accent that like, 633 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: on some words, it sounds like you forgot to do 634 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: the accent, and in other words it sounds like you 635 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: have a thick act. I remember my first trumpet teacher 636 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: when I was taking lessons as a kid, who like 637 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: worked at my school. His wife was South African, and 638 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: when she spoke, I was like, as a kid, I 639 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: didn't know what the accent was, and I thought, I 640 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: was like, it sounds like she's from Texas mixed with England. 641 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 1: Is what my first description of the South African action. Yeah, anyways, 642 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: this movie is it's fucking I don't know, it's garbage. 643 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,959 Speaker 1: It looks like absolute trash. The trade looks like absolute trash. 644 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,399 Speaker 1: It's not for you, it's for children, okay, but it's 645 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 1: very serious that it has a very serious vibe to it, 646 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 1: Like it starts with like really dramatic, like sweeping shots 647 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 1: and dramatic Louis Armstrong. It's a wonderful world, is not. 648 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 1: That's when he's going to be terrible, that my terrible 649 00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: attempts who smooth? But it's not that it's and it's 650 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: a normal presentation. It is the like echo e version 651 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,439 Speaker 1: where like like the Facebook movie whatever that was called 652 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: Social Network, right right right right? Uh, you know, I 653 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: just there were so many things in it that were 654 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: very odd. I just, for whatever reason, I just can't 655 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: stand the polar bearer wearing a nit cap. Why. I 656 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: don't know, Come, are you guys angry? That includes animals 657 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: that will be extinct within our lifetime? Here's what about? 658 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: It cost a hundred and seventy five million dollars to make. Jesus, 659 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: they spent a Marvel movies worth of budget on this movie. 660 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: It's like, you guys don't live in Los Angeles. Yeah, 661 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,839 Speaker 1: it's made by the guy who wrote and directed Syriana 662 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: wrote Traffic? Are you serious? And he had to be 663 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: replaced halfway through because of Cprently he was The animals 664 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: were attacking doctor Doolittle, killing him. I hear David Simon 665 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: wrote the original script. Yeah, the a lot of the imagery. 666 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: I mean, it's one of those things. It's a hard 667 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: needle to thread with Doctor Doolittle movies, I feel like, 668 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: because it has to almost be fully cartoonish so for 669 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: it to not like sort of start veering into the absolutely. 670 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: I think that's what we're responding to is it's like 671 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: if you made Flipper a dramatic, dramatic film, where like 672 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 1: Flipper was a trained assassin. Like, that's what this trailer 673 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 1: feels like. Imagine Red Sparrow mixed with Flipper exactly, it's 674 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: just red tie. That's actually. I mean the there was 675 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: a time when the CIA was trying to do that. 676 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 1: Not the CIA. It was like some Russian or intelligence 677 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: there was some intelligence agent that was trying to train 678 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: dolphins to do think the Germans. I think everybody was 679 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 1: basically like, I don't know, fucking get these sea dogs. 680 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: We have billions of dollars, we might as well do 681 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 1: whatever what the funk we want. They tried to do 682 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 1: it with cats. It was called Operation Acoustic Kitty, and 683 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: it did not go well, are you serious like to 684 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: do what? It was something I think they were bomb 685 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: like bomb carrying cats. But are the reason the the no, No, 686 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: there were cats spies. They were cats with recording devices, 687 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: got it, And that's why I was acoustic kitty. And uh, 688 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: there's a reason that hurting cats is something that's a 689 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 1: saying for something that's impossible. Well, I mean they should 690 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: have just got doctor Doolittle because he could have just 691 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: had the cats back and say what did you hear? 692 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's your gritty remake of doing where 693 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: he's trained. He's getting animals to right, right right. That 694 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: would actually be interesting to see Doolittle in the modern world. 695 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: But this is just like Doolittle in Pirate Pirates of 696 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: the Caribbeans, like vaguely vaguely Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, 697 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: that would be great, like like a series of Homeland 698 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: type but little Doolittle, Yes, right, thank you. What's the 699 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 1: me is that the inconclusive? Yes, this is the second 700 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: winner of a movie idea that we've come up with 701 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: in the past three episodes. It's a free punch up. Yeah, 702 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: the Nightmare on Elm Street, but it's people who get 703 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 1: too high is the other their panic brings on Freddy 704 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: Krueger to freak them up. So it's like how high plus? Yeah? Yeah? 705 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:30,239 Speaker 1: Too high? Yeah? How high? All right, We're gonna take 706 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. Well, 707 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,720 Speaker 1: as much as I'd like to continue discussing the only 708 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: news story we should care about, the impending doom of 709 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: our earth, it's time we talk about the fact that 710 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: people could be putting weed in your kids halloween candy. 711 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:07,280 Speaker 1: Happy Halloween. The Johnstown Police Department in Pennsylvania are back 712 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 1: at it again. In my mind, I believe we've talked 713 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: about this department before when they were asking people to 714 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: volunteer get drunk for a study. But either way, they 715 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: just viral stunts. I don't know, could you have? That's 716 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,760 Speaker 1: probably where we're headed at least department doing viral content. 717 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: I don't know what they get out of it, but 718 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: like the well, if the social media the head of 719 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: social media for their police department is like you, gets promoted, 720 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: a few viral stunts are like proposal videos can paper 721 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: over a shooting? Yeah, like, well what about that white 722 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: what about the white cop that you know hit them 723 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: folks at that barbecue? You know what I mean? The 724 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,319 Speaker 1: dance not literally hitting somebody the dance move.

And they kiss 726 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: a dog, not they just shot a woman fucking in 727 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,720 Speaker 1: her own home in Fort Worth through a fucking window. 728 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: But upload that video of the police are doing the 729 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 1: Harlem shake, right, we forgot to be fair. I do 730 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: think that cops don't have problems going virall right now, 731 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: just not for the reasons they would probably like, Yeah, 732 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: I mean maybe that's the idea. Is that there? Thank you? 733 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: That's a straight up for you the yeah may I 734 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: I could totally see the meeting where they come up 735 00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: with that strategy of like, we got to combat all 736 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: this negative social media publicity that we're getting out there. 737 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,839 Speaker 1: Come on, pitch me ideas, guys.

This cop was a former break dancer. 739 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 1: I would that people need to remember that we are 740 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: out there protecting their children. What's the story that we 741 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: could tell about that? Oh what about that child that 742 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 1: was shot because they thought he had a gun? Not 743 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:49,680 Speaker 1: that the Remember how we used to be afraid that 744 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: people would put razor blades in our candy boom? Yeah, 745 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 1: here we go there, How would that even work? Okay? 746 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: Bite into a candy bar well, because I think I 747 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: think you you push the razorblade into the flesh of 748 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: the apple and then the caramel app the caramel covers 749 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: over the actual Also just like candy bars with my 750 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: teeth the most impervious that my mouth bones, right if 751 00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: you took a full on bite though, and there was 752 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: a razorblade and will cut your mouth. It's just not 753 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,840 Speaker 1: the most efficient way to do harm via Halloween um on. 754 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: This apparently is according to the Johnstown Police Department. They 755 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,720 Speaker 1: have this whole Facebook post says attention, the Johnstown Police 756 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 1: would like to draw extra attention to the nerds rope 757 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: edibles containing four milligrams of thhc are so good. I 758 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: know one fucking movie candy um foundering a search warrant 759 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: in Stony Creek. It says, Okay, during this Halloween, we 760 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: urge parents to be ever vigilant and checking their children's 761 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,919 Speaker 1: candy before allowing them to consume those treats. Drug laced 762 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: edibles are package like regular candy and maybe hard to 763 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: distinguished from real candy. Okay, now it looks like maybe 764 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: if you're just like the dude who's making your own 765 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 1: wild edibles you sell them like this to avoid detection 766 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: from the police, not because you have a scheme where 767 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: you're throwing thousands of dollars away to play a sick 768 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: ass prank from the kids of this town.

Dude. Oh yeah, 787 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,399 Speaker 1: that was like, that's why they hit so smooth because 788 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 1: the fiberglass is four khc a strong edible like a lot. 789 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:37,479 Speaker 1: That's yes, Danial is headbanging and that is too much 790 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: kids to one day elementary school age.
