1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Hogwarts

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: trend to Guess, But that, of course is the music

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: from Hot Hodgwartz trend to Get Legacy more like hogwash?

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Am I right? That's so. Those are the comedic stylings

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: of today's special guest co host DJ Daniel good Man.

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: It is a your boy, Mr Steel, Your Ariel in

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: the building, happy to be here, ready to Ariel like

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Ariel for the Little Mermaid. It is yes, um, yeah,

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm I call me whatever that dude's name is from

10
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: the movie because Prince Eric, Prince Eric, thank you. Yes,

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: because she's about to grow some legs and be like

12
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I need some of that. No, no, no, I'm taking

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: did not like that, isn't it? Ursula? Mr Steel, your Ariel?

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: I guess? Yeah? Really? Yeah, so your Ariel's voice. Hey,

15
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: there we go. Oh God, make her silent so that

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Eric can fall in love with her. Ha ha, that's

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: the that's the trick. Because of toxic MASCULINITYA thought. Ha.

18
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: She'll never find love while she's silent. But because of

19
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: toxic masculinity. Eric was like, oh my god, she's so perfect, perfect, Brian,

20
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about anything, she might say.

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Ha ha ha ha. All right, there's there's a bunch

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: going on the discourse. Is uh ablaze ablaze, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling.

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: Hogworth's Legacy is trending. It has crossed my desk. Yes,

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: I know everybody sees gaming news. What does Jack think?

25
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: What's Jack kinda says about it? Is it out on switch?

26
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Is it out on switch? The answer to that, I,

27
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: of course no, but I'm not going to say it here.

28
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: I appreciate that because I'm not going to date the

29
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: show because I'm might one day, you know, you never know,

30
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: and then evergreen where it might be right now? Uh so, Daniel, Yes,

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: pretend I'm an idiot, so I close your eyes. Just

32
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: imagine a world where I'm a complete fucking idiot. Don't

33
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: know nothing. It doesn't know shit about the world of gaming.

34
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely what what? What's going on? Hogwarts Legacy? Is it

35
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: a is it a sandbox game? Is it's a very

36
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: good jack? So? Hogwarts Legacy is the open world RPG

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: developed by Avalanche Games or Avalanche Studios for all your

38
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: contemporary quote unquote next gen systems. It is a Harry

39
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: Potter RPG that, if you ask I g N is

40
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: the game that every Harry Potter video gaming fan has

41
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: been waiting for. And I'm sure to a certain extent

42
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: that there I don't know, maybe right, but the release

43
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: of this game has gotten so many people to crawl

44
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: out of their high holes to participate in a discourse

45
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: that is absolutely fraught with bullshit and throw out takes

46
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: that are completely ridiculous. And I want to talk about

47
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: them very brief briefly for a little bit. And I

48
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: want to start with the idea you just unrolled a

49
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: whole long as scroll. You guys, when you say you

50
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: can't see, actually it goes behind me. It just rolled

51
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: out the door. And then I heard some cars get

52
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: into a car accident outside when it rolled into the street.

53
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: So right, that's what we're dealing with. But I I

54
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: seed the floor to you. I'm just gonna go go

55
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: for a job. Well, I'm gonna get my soapbox out

56
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: of the way. Here longs the long story short here

57
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: is that like it brings up a bunch of topics that,

58
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: like you know, sometimes come to the forefront, things like

59
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: separating the art from the artist, things like we need

60
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: to support X person, things like well, that's the way

61
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: business works and blah blah blah. All of these like

62
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: trends that you know are are sometime are easier to

63
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: tackle in like confined packages where it's like, you like

64
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: music from this person, but they're also an abuser. How

65
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: do you handle those two things. That's a conversation that

66
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: we can have another time about whatever. But with Hogwarts Legacy,

67
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: this is a game that is about the wizarding world

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: created by a J. K. Rowling. This game was produced

69
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: and released in a world completely aware of her own,

70
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, horrible thoughts and beliefs or turf nature, like

71
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: everything about J. K. Rowling that we that we now

72
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: really know. It's also something that is forcing quote unquote

73
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: forcing the hand of media giants and game reviewers to

74
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: participate in the discourse of talking about this game. Some

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: people handle that well. Some people absolutely are not. And

76
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I think one of the people that handled this really

77
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: poorly is I g N. I g N is a

78
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: company that you know has been reviewing games for years,

79
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: is a huge, huge, huge company, and they gave this

80
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: game a nine out of ten. A nine out of ten,

81
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: and the criteria for a game being a nine out

82
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: of ten is this If we call again nine out

83
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: of ten means it's amazing. If we call a game amazing,

84
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: that means something about it seriously impressed us, whether it's

85
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: an inspired new idea or an exceptional take on an

86
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: old one. We expect to look at this game as

87
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: one of the highlights of its time and genre. And

88
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to quickly pull out a couple of

89
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: lines from the actual review of this game, just certain

90
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: lines that stuck out to me as uh, maybe things

91
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: that go counter to that very review not reflective of

92
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: a nine out of ten not reflective ideas tradition correct.

93
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: It may not be the most impressive technical achievement, and

94
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: it is certainly cursed with a lack of enemy variety.

95
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: One Legacies plot has more holes than a fish net

96
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: stocking and sort of just expects you to accept that

97
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: its magical world makes no sense too if you're like

98
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: me and you roll your eyes during moments when you're

99
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: introduced to hundred years worth of dead characters lettering you

100
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: from hatings. Three Legacies dicey performance suffered from just about

101
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: every issue that makes I g m S Performance review

102
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: team cry frame reading, consistency, weird issues with the lighting,

103
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: aggressive Poppin and more. Every door in Hogwarts has a

104
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: brief loading screen. We're talking about stuff that is just

105
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: like some of these things are day one patch stuff

106
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: where it's like this stuff is gonna get fixed, it

107
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. But then you have things like the

108
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 1: plot doesn't make sense, the enemies are boring, the world

109
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: is You're just full of exposition and nonsense, stuff that

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: on a very base level takes a game out of

111
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: the category of amazing or unique. And that's only looking

112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: at this game on the level of it's just a

113
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: regular game with no other political issues around it at all.

114
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: And I g N does a very very short skirting

115
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: thing of well, here's how we talk about this game,

116
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to read the whole thing, but

117
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: the long story short of their little like you know,

118
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: of their of their small piece about why or why

119
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: not the reviewing this game is because their whole thing

120
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: is as a company, we have to talk about the

121
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: video game as a video game, outside of politics, outside

122
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: of discourse, and just how it presents itself as a

123
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: video game. And that's something we have to do. And

124
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I think that is bullshit. I don't believe that at all.

125
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: I think The reality is more along the lines of

126
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: another thing that I have linked in the stock here,

127
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: and I promise I will get off my soapbox shortly,

128
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: which is this. This is a tweet from Patrick Kleppick.

129
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Watching gaming outlets jump through rhetorical hoops to justify coverage

130
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: on Hogwarts Legacy isn't surprising, but it would be more

131
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: honest if they played it straight and just said quote,

132
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: our shaky business model does not allow us to ignore

133
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: any game that might sell ten million copies. And unfortunately

134
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: that is the truth. If this company, we're talking about

135
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: so much lost revenue, if they were to not cover

136
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: this game that is undoubtedly going to sell well, because

137
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: there are certain Harry Potter fans who, despite the fact

138
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: that there are tons that really felt touched by the

139
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: by you know, the book's narrative about you know, finding

140
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: your truest and best version of yourself and striking down

141
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: the forces of evil, how that applied to their own

142
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: lives and their own you know, self realization and self actualization.

143
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Despite all that, they're still going to cover this game

144
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: that directly supports this awful turf woman who you know

145
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: is making so much money off of this game. And

146
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: that sucks. Um, and it's just um, yeah, so you know,

147
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: long story short, people are really going out the work

148
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: to say, well, it's okay if I review this game,

149
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: or it's okay if I play this game, because man,

150
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: it would sure be bad if all these developers who

151
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: worked on this game weren't able to eat. First of all,

152
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: they get paid no matter what. It's not like all

153
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: of them are getting royalties. And second of all, if

154
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: that's your stance, you have to go and support literally everything.

155
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: Go see every movie, eat at every restaurant, read every book,

156
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: listen to every music album, because God forbid, the people

157
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: who did the work on those things don't get the

158
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: support that you think they deserve. That's the end of

159
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: my right. Well, speaking of music albums, which is what

160
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: we call them here, Um, the Grammy's happened. The Grammys happened.

161
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: And another thing that is just has the take machine

162
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: in over running. It's just so it's it's lost, it's equilibrium. Um,

163
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it was one of the those

164
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: moments two where where it really seemed like, oh man,

165
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: this is something that I don't care that much about,

166
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: but that everybody was in on it. Felt like, or

167
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: at least there was a lot of people who were

168
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: surprised when the Best Album Grammy went to the wrong person.

169
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: For instance, um, when Song of the Year instead of

170
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: going to Beyonce or Lizzo, although Lizzo one Record of

171
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: the Year, which is also the categories are fucking confusing, ridiculous.

172
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Record of the Year is actually song of the Year,

173
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: but as like including production, where a song of the

174
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: Year is just about songwriting. And they went to Bonnie

175
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Rate which is an artist that my parents were into

176
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: when I was twelve, Like so she was like old

177
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: at year. Some of those songs I've like listened back

178
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: to them, been like they're pretty solid. But like I

179
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: anytime the winner is announced and I have to be like, oh,

180
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the wrong year. This is this is

181
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: a past year's list of winners. It's it's always just tricky,

182
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: Like I didn't, I don't. I don't feel like Bonnie

183
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: Rates return captured the Zekeeys necessarily this year. Um, maybe

184
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: it did. I I guess it did. Among the elderly

185
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: folks who vote on the Grammys, though exactly is the

186
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: point among the representative body that makes these decisions is

187
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: that do not matter. But last year, A Bad Bunny

188
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: did not kind of got a lot of snubs despite

189
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: having what a lot of people thought was, like, it

190
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: feels like this will be the year that people look

191
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: back on and say, well, bad Bunny is this was

192
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: the artist who, like, whether it was reviews, you know,

193
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: one of the best reviewed albums of the year when

194
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: you look at apples like most played Songs or Spotify's

195
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: most played songs, like across the year. For like six

196
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: months after he dropped his album, like, there were like

197
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: five songs off this album in the top ten. Bad Bunny, Yeah,

198
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: Badunny Bunny all the way down. Yeah, it's Bad Bunnies

199
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: all the way down. Um so I don't know it,

200
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: but again I'm just like, so ever since they gave

201
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the first best rap album too Will Smith and DJ

202
00:11:53,160 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Jazzy Jeff over a Public Enemy and gave McLemore rap

203
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: album over Good Kids at City, I mean, that's it,

204
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: that's it, that's I need, that's it. Where Ever since

205
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: they picked a fight with Frank Ocean because he wouldn't

206
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: go along with their weird like the Grammy musical performances,

207
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about one of them, which was

208
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: like iconic that happened this year, Like they're big production numbers.

209
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: It's very cool that these things are happening because they're

210
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: able to get like amazing talent together because they are

211
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: the powers that be in the music industry quite literally.

212
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: But the production is weird and overwrought and it's always like,

213
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, you can tell that there are live

214
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: like music performance producers are like something who whatever the

215
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: funk that is called that they're producing. There are people

216
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: who are like that is really what we want to

217
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: be the star of the show, right, and not Frank Ocean.

218
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 1: So they picked a fright with Frank Ocean where like

219
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: Frank actually doesn't like he he's his own worst enemy,

220
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: um and we did not like enjoy working with him

221
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: and whatever. Yeah, it's just like shut the funk up,

222
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: shut up. Yeah. But anyways, they did have a big

223
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: thing the Rap fifty Years of Rap because raps fiftie

224
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: anniversary debatable, but some people believe it's coming up shot

225
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: a cool hurt, Yeah, cool Hirk back to school party,

226
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: that cool hurricane his sister through that had like that

227
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: that was where the seed was planted. According to some

228
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: people on one side of a very controversial subject exactly,

229
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: but so they did like a you know, twenty minute

230
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: or I don't I don't know how long it was

231
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: because I can't find a clip of it because they're

232
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: they're lugging this ship down. So I just find like

233
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: individual clips of people taking shots from their phone of

234
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: the TV for twenties seconds. I've seen multiple clips, and

235
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: it really seemed to be something that people were responding to.

236
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: And again I ask those people, why are you watching

237
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: the Grammy? I guess for moments like what exactly it's

238
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: a you know, I think, uh, the I think one

239
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: of the things that invites so much controversy as well,

240
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: because I know another thing that people were getting the

241
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: little Twitter fingers hot about was Harry Styles going up

242
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: there and saying this doesn't happen to people like me often.

243
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: And it's just like, man, you really walked into that one,

244
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: because you could very easily just accept your reward, hold

245
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: up the trophy and go hey thanks, and no one

246
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: would say shits. Yeah, they would have, I mean probably,

247
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: but it's like, but it's not like you stiffed Beyonce.

248
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: It's not like you stiffed bad Bunny. All these people

249
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: are releasing music, and it's like, that's just it's their job.

250
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: They're supposed to release music. Like it's not like Harry

251
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: Styles is being like, well, I better not release this

252
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: album because I don't want to step on Beyonce maybe

253
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: getting a Grammy. That's not how it works. But you know,

254
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: you do get to choose what you go up there

255
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: and say and how you represent yourself. And um, I

256
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: think everybody can take a lesson, take a big old

257
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: slice of humble pie, and just remember, don't go up

258
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: there and say anything. Just don't don't say anything at all.

259
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: This voting body is only here to present awards to

260
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: people for whatever reason. It never makes any sense. It's

261
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: never good. But when you insert yourself into the discourse

262
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: by saying some ship like that Harry Styles, Oh baby,

263
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean this is you know, you reap what you

264
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: sew and that's what happened there. Just go up there

265
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: and shut the funk up and take your trophy and

266
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: get drunk on the free meal and then go. The

267
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: other moment that really seemed to stand out to people,

268
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: or at least me, UM was singer and songwriter Adele

269
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: was presented with um an Award for Best Pop Solo

270
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Performance category, Hell yeah. And presenting that award was of

271
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: core Dwayne the Rock Johnson, the Rock, well, the one

272
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: and only Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who handed her the grandphone.

273
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: Uh and in announcing it, he opened the envelope, read

274
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: it and said, get up here, best friend, adele, which

275
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: is how humans talk to one another. I also want

276
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: to believe that in in in my head, one of

277
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: his people was like, just call her bestie, because like

278
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: that's what everybody likes these days. And he was like,

279
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: what does that mean. It's like, it's your best friend.

280
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: He's like, okay, cool, I got it. Yeah, for sure,

281
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: get up your best friend. It's like I was supposed

283
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: a quick break. We'll be back with a couple more things,

284
00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: and we're back and that. So the big Kyrie trade

Speaker 1: one of the other best offensive players in the league,

294
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: Luca don Chich. Mark Cuban is the owner Cuba Mr Cuba.

295
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: Mr Cubano himself one of my least favorites just in

296
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: general in terms as people go. Sure, just from his

297
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: his shark tankness and listening to him interviewed. He's got big,

298
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: He's just got that that smug billionaire, nous energy billionairosity.

299
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: But he apparently so there was somebody who did a

300
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,719
Speaker 1: mural of Luca looking lonely and was like, come please,

301
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban, bring Luca help. He needs help type of thing,

302
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: and Mark Cuban reached out to the muralist and said

303
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,239
Speaker 1: told like reprimanded them and told them that they were

304
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: being rude. But then yeah, but he's just like soft

305
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: bit he's so he's so like insecure, but like in

306
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: a way where he wants to you know, project security

307
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: and like strength. So baby, I know. So he then

308
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: immediately went and made a questionable trade because neither of

309
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: them play great defense. They're both like ball dominant offensive players.

310
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: Kyrier Bring has alienated every team that he's ever been

311
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: a part of. Um, it's the mess. You can always,

312
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: you know, get get an initial idea of how a

313
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: trade has gone by how audience or how the fans

314
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: of the various teams are reacting. And let's call this

315
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: a win for the Nets. Homie Adam, big Nets fan

316
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: shout out. Adam was like relief, finally relief, just relief.

317
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: It's like it's like the the room has quieted down.

318

321
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: in Lucas contract, but something tells me that he's pretty

322
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: frustrated as well, and like wants a wants a chip,

323

00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: out of there? Mm hmm. Interesting that's what that stands for. Yes,

325
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: these are the things that you need to explain to me. Yeah,

326
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: and obviously, uh, you know, there was a horrible earthquake

327
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: that happened Turkey and Syria. M Yeah, killed more than

328
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: three thousand four hundred people. We link off to a

329
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: place where you can donate money to help people in

330
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: those regions in footnotes or show notes. But yeah, I

331
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: mean just a horrifying tragedy when that, uh, we should

332
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: all be keeping our eye on and it's beasts. I mean,

333
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, just just very briefly as you know. Of course,

334
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: a cautionary tale is that, like you know, it was

335
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: two huge earthquakes back to back, and you see, you

336
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: know this is this is how fault lines work. Is

337
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: that like it's so rarely just one quick action that's

338
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: is of course it's scary, but it's just something to

339
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: keep in mind and be prepared for. This might be

340
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: a very l a centric thing here, but it's always

341
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: a constant reminder of earthquake safety and the importance of

342
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: mutual aid. And it's like we need to be able

343
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: to reach out and help people when they need it.

344
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: These natural disasters strike it completely random times and it's awful.

345
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,160

348
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: lifelong Angelina, is that something you remember like experiencing an earthquake,

349
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: and then being like, oh, it's not done. Oh vividly.

350
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: We had an earthquake, you know, probably a week and

351
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: a half ago, where it rocked it first and then

352
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: for the next five or ten minutes, I was like,

353
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: hold fast, and there was and there was another. There

354
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: was another aftershock not long after. I mean, thankfully wasn't

355
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: very strong. It was it was like, you know, the

356
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: whole thing was okay, but you know, it's it's something

357
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: that you always think about. It's always in the back

358
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: of your mind. Yeah, I think I have earthquake blindness,

359
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: Like my equilibrium is just such that I don't notice

360
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: earthquakes when they happen. My wife will wake up and

361
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm just I have my hands up like I'm on

362
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: a roller coaster, you know. All right, those are some
