Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I
Woke upsite This Uh, this courtesy of one miles of
Gray and beyond you on that one that that like
writer who does like the speech in the middle of
Flawless from you know, the song with referencing the title
(00:20):
currently in a big old, sort of turfy kind of
feud going on. M hmmm, uh yeah, I actually did
not know that. I didn't even it was brought up
by superproducer and coming with the facts, hose nie A. Um,
(00:41):
all right, let's talk about what is trending. Here are
some things. Of course we're gonna get to the Sixers
don't don't don't actually watched it so lived it real time.
Now died it I think is more accurate. But uh,
we'll get to that after the break. First up, Zionist trending.
(01:04):
So they fired their coach yesterday, stand band Gundy. Um
after one year did not? I mean that felt about right? Um,
probably could have done better with what you had there,
but yeah, he's apparently. The reports are saying that the
Pelicans have failed to put the right elements together to
(01:26):
make Zion and his family happy. And then this in
according to this article in the Athletics, saying, quote, multiple
sources have told the Athletic that's certain family members want
Williamson on another team. M hm, welcome to l A. Zion.
I see this is why this is interesting of interest
to I think it's well, of course, I'm always trying
(01:47):
to look at what what pieces we can hoover off
the ground and create some kind of Frankenstein's Monster Voltron
basketball team dream team. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, I mean
more than anything I think, because I think probably I
don't know if it's really is it the is it
the Pelicans fault? Is Canzion dig deeper? Like? Who's two?
(02:09):
Where is who's that fault? Here? He's coming with it.
I mean, he had an incredible season this year. He's
the the king who was promised. You know, I used
to rave I used to make a super producer on
a Hosnie. I sit and watch Zion highlights back when
we were in the old world, when we were in person.
(02:32):
Look at this guy, look at a look at him
block this shot like that when you're that big. And
then he had his For his rookie year, he was injured. Um,
but this past year he's he's been as good as
we thought, um are flowing though, just photoshopped in like
every conceivable uniform in the league right now. I like,
(02:54):
I can see it, Nix, I can see it, Rockets,
I can see it Nuggets. That's interesting. I I feel
like this is not a I guess this would have
been like a Lebron early Cleveland era esque rumor where
it was just like we hear people around him are unhappy,
and that's enough to become like a number one trending
(03:18):
subject on Twitter. M But yeah, I mean people would
any team in the league would probably mortgage most of
their parts to to get it to be in the
Zion business. Zion, we love you, We want to be
in the Zion business. Baby. Um yeah there. I don't
(03:40):
know the other things that you. I mean, this happens
a lot in sports to where this is also like
you put these out here just to see if maybe
you get some offers coming in, maybe some phone calls
start coming in, just to see what's out there, what's
possible to get the franchise on the back foot. But
I don't know that's a yeah. I don't know where
(04:01):
he could go. I mean I got where you know
where the Blazers that would be cool him in Dame time.
Uh huh. Yeah. His teams are always like you know,
when they're free agents, uh, going out of their way
to join the Blazers, either the Lakers or the Heat
(04:22):
those are the two teams. But yeah, yeah, probably because
he likes, you know, like fishing and stuff. I think
maybe Miami's more his speed, you know, being down there.
He likes fishing. Yeah, he's like going into that ship.
Is he's an outdoors person? Yeah, Like I don't see
him like fucking with Runyon Canyon and ship. Yeah. Alright,
(04:44):
so that is why Zion is trending. Obamacare is trending
once again. The Supreme Court had to intervene. Uh and
you know throw a lead block for Obamacare for them
handful of years in seven to not even close. What
you're telling me that all Brank Cabannab and Army Cone,
(05:10):
Corny Darren bear bit is that they voted for this.
Brank is such a cock dude, He's always loved Obama.
Clarence Thomas, what it was this Gorsitch and Alito? I
think that's a h Is Clarence Thomas going to retire?
(05:34):
When are we going to get these these old timey
conservatives out of there. Yeah, I don't know. I mean
who it's like these people who just end up like
living forever, because that's how evil doers are, you know,
you know, I don't know any will and I think
they're probably if he wanted to, he's probably like, funk,
(05:54):
what do I do like to you know, uh, just
avoid this being in the hands of a Democrat like this,
this potential Supreme Court pick being in the hands of
a Democrat president. Um hey, shout out to you, Justice Brier,
h you wanna do you want to hop off this thing? Well,
Biden's president. Don't do what Ruth Bader Ginsburg did whenever,
(06:16):
was like, fam do it now while you got Obama
and that you can. We can. We can make sure
that we we can. We don't upset the balance of
the court. Um. So A lot of people are like
have been looking at Stephen Bryer too and being like,
what are you doing, sir? What is it? What is
he doing? Twove me eighty three this year? Full? Full? Yeah,
(06:42):
full full? I think go take our entire All three
of the liberal people on the court need to be
just looking at him and think full under their breath,
full full for real, you're you were born in fucking
thirty eight. Full, I'm serious, full full like Sonya Sodomy was,
(07:05):
like I was born in fifty four, full like I
saw that time. But like full, you're born in thirty
eight thirty eight? Are kiddings? Please? Clarence tom was born
in forty eight? You know what I mean? Roberts fifty five,
Alito fucking fifty, U Kagan nineteen sixty, Gorset sixty seven,
(07:26):
Cavanaugh sixty five, Carbi bar Bit seventy two. Damn just
not get out of there. That's fucking wild. Uh Alright, anyways,
shout out to the Supreme Court. So like he's older
than David Suitor. Us, he's older than the former justice
(07:48):
David Suitor who left a while ago. Think about that,
full full full, like whatever, it doesn't whatever. Its little
kid just completely blown up by the Republicans either way,
So who knows um? And he kind of needs to
do it soon because there's always the chance that the
(08:08):
Senate takes back. Yeah, the Republican Senate Republican again. And
Mitch McConnell has promised that clock sticking. You don't you
don't get rid of the filibuster. They get all these
like wacky voting laws in that you don't know what
to do, and then you you appeal to a Supreme
Court that's like you're like, no, let it rock. I
fully believe that the next time there's a Republican in
(08:32):
the White House, we're going full like police state authoritarian government,
because they're that's all. They have, cleaner attempt at it
than Floppy Trump for sure, because they're already doing it now.
So it's just that when will it reach the federal
level at that scale? Uh, there has been a discovery
(08:54):
of a fossil of what they're saying is the biggest landman. However, Um,
it's like a horse that is bigger than Uh it's
like kind of let's say, head and shoulders above an elephant. Um,
it's pretty I don't know what's the scale here, because
(09:15):
it looks like this ship looks like bigger than like
a fucking dinosaur. Yeah, I think that's why we're a
dinosaur horse. It's a horse, disa din horse? Um? What's
it called? It is called? Of course? Uh so they're
saying it's a it's a type of rhino, but it's
built like a course um, the giant rhino. It's like
(09:40):
some conservative rap. Yeah, the giant rhino, paris ortherium and
then that I'm not done, h linchi a and ce
So I think I nailed that in the Northeastern Tibetan
Plateau during the late all log A scene, the old
(10:05):
Keviny Loggin scene one movie. Uh yeah, it's wild though.
I mean that's what the thing that I think is underrated,
Like we dinosaurs appropriately rated, Like they are a thing
that kids just obsessed kids for an entire chunk of
(10:25):
their lives, as they should. They're giant lizards that like
they're so cool. However, I think it's underrated how they're
used to just be giant versions of the animals we
know that floor like the there's like a big black
crow that is the size of like a seven thirty seven,
(10:46):
And it's like they think that it was around when
humans walked the earth. And there's that's the reason that
like sometimes when a shadow goes over you, you'll like
feel the um skin on your arms rise up, because
we were like had to evolve to be scared like
(11:10):
damn big crows. Yeah like run yeah, I mean, could
you imagine how different the world would be if like
when you were outdoors, you were always worried about either
that it was gonna like start raining or that a
fucking massive like blimp sized crow was going to come
through and just pick you up and carry you off
to feed to its babies. Um, pick me up and
(11:32):
take me away to a better life. Yeah, take me away,
giant crow in your safe arms. Hold me in your arms,
you will raise you up. On giant there's like giant
h elk and ship that's like, you know what, it's massive.
(11:53):
I would really find like a skull or something. What
part did they did they unearth something? It just looks
like a giant chunk. It's a huge access of the
giant rhino. Compared to a technician, I don't know. By
telling me it's an access, I don't know what that means,
but it's it seems like it's a very central bone.
(12:16):
I would guess based on the access thing that allowed
them to be like oh oh boy, well well, um,
all right, let's take a quick break and we will
be right back to uh talk. Boy, hear me despare
about the sixers and we're back and yeah, so big
(12:45):
game last night we're talking of course about the Clippers
beating the Utah Jazz. Great to see George Yeah man
playoff P shout out to him. Yeah, he played great.
I think he has maybe nine. He was awesome. I
would if I was writing something, I'd say based on
his past postseason performances that he's due to like shake
(13:06):
that ship off and be able to get at like
you need that pain of talking big ship going to
the postseason and not delivering hopefully to them, be like no,
I'm not doing that ship again. Like for people who
aren't following the playoffs, the best the guy who's been
playing the best in the playoffs UH for the entire game,
not just the first half like Joel Embiid, but for
(13:26):
the entire game is Kawhi Leonard UH. And he just
went out with an injury UM, and so everyone's like, well,
the Clippers are doomed without him and then their second
best player but one of the most like universally derided
UH players because he once nicknamed himself playoff P and
then proceeded to pee his pants during those he is
(13:51):
he finally came through and played really great and he
actually hasn't been as bad as people make it out.
To be uh. Um. Anyways, that he came through Clippers one,
They're up three to the sixers. My team, Um, we're
up twenty six in the third quarter. And I did
(14:13):
not feel confident. And this might not mean anything because
I never feel confident because I always expect the worst
to happen, but this was especially a case. They had
already the last game they were up by I think
fourteen in the second half maybe and ended up losing
that one. So I was like, well, there there's always
a chance they blow it, and blow it they did. Yeah,
(14:38):
he just got tired. I mean he's we we've talked
before about how like some of the things he does
are like incredible because basically he's a seven ft three
Kobe Bryant. Like when he's fully at full speed and
at full energy, but he also like being seven ft
three and moving like you are not seven at three,
(15:00):
you're going to get exhausted. H And that happens a
lot to him. Uh. And so he was just way
off for the end of the game. Uh. Doc Rivers
kept him in. It was very bad. I kept Ben Simmons,
and Ben Simmons was really really bad. Ben Simmons seems
to be uh seems to be the one who is
taking the brunt of the criticism. Uh. Doc Rivers was, Yeah,
(15:27):
I think so. I think there's two things that are true.
I think one is that Ben Simmons uh can't shoot
free throws and is extremely limited and everything except defense,
because you can't you can't play in the modern NBA
without without being able to shoot uh, And so he
(15:52):
makes them very easy to game plan for. A good
coach like Nate McMillan can figure you out if you
have if one of your chess pieces on the court
consistently cannot shoot like that's just that that went the
way of the Dodo a long time ago in the
NBA because because that that's just like it's too dangerous
(16:15):
to have have somebody out there who can shoot like so.
But he's also one of the top three defenders in
the league, so they keep him out there because his
plus minus is always pretty good. UM. But last night
it kind of all came to a head because they
did a hack a shack, uh foula Ben whatever you
(16:38):
call it, where they just kept putting him on the line.
He missed ten free throws. And but I think there's
so I think that's true, Like he's too limited. You
can't have him be on the court in the playoffs.
Like that's people were saying at the beginning of the playoffs, Benson,
it makes the Sixers too easy to game plan for. Um.
(16:59):
The other thing is that Doc Rivers does not do
a good job making adjustments in in game or in series.
And the Sixers lost Game five for the same reason
and almost in the exact same way that they lost
Game four, and it's it's just very frustrating. I goes
(17:20):
out to you, I am now going to start wearing
my Sixer's hat because I want this season to be
put out of its miserable and I will put on
my Sixer's hat and not watch the game. And then
they start winning like what kind of But yeah, it's
it's interesting that you know that. So I watched this game, um,
(17:45):
because I watched the first half they were killing him.
I was like, all right, like normally you never watch. Normally, Normally,
I record the game, check the score after it's over,
so that I just like feel the pain of the
loss one time as opposed to just like dying slowly
over the course of the full game. But this one
(18:05):
seemed pretty safe. So I watched the whole thing and
it was like being you know, it's pretty traumatic to
watcher in this big game. And the last time that
I did that was the game that where Kauai hit
the game winning, the last one that I watched while
it was happening. So I have a good that might
(18:28):
be the power is watching. Then yeah, have I told
you that? Like when my dad was coaching the Celtics
and they made the Eastern Conference finals. I went to
game one, uh, and they lost to the net. Then
I was out of the country for games two. In
(18:50):
games three, they won those, and then I came back
and they lost the next three in front of me.
So like I do, like genuinely am a Chris is
like being your catholic. Guilt is just interesting with your
sports fandom in this way where you're actually taking the
burden on emotionally. It's definitely my fault. I think I
(19:10):
think we can all you know, maybe this is hell
you know who? Uh? All right, And finally, uh Naomi
Osaka is trending because she's dropped out of Wimbledon too,
you know, work on spend time working on herself and
spend time with family and friends. Uh, more power to her,
(19:33):
and fuck the tennis officials who were like, we stand
by it. Uh, we we don't need her. It's like, yeah, okay,
so you would have had Yeah, I guess who doesn't
give a funk about your sport when you don't have her?
And she probably would have won the French Open, right
like the person who won. Yeah, I mean yeah by
(19:54):
that logic, Yeah, if I was doing brackets. Yeah. Um.
She has confirmed for the Olympics, though, uh, which is
interesting and it almost suggests that she's specifically saying fuck
you to the tennis authority. And I think, you know,
being Japanese, I think that's a big thing for her
(20:14):
to represent Japan in the Tokyo Olympics and like, you know,
get a you know, possibly get a gold medal and
ship and they, I mean, you can't talk about a
better crowd to play in front of than in Japan,
being like the sensation that she is not just in
the US, but especially for Japanese people have Japanese people
(20:37):
like me, you know, just the whole. Yeah. So hopefully
she can she can you know, there's no mandated press
she has to do there and she can just focus
on that but yeah, I just love that She's It's
nice to see people create boundaries for themselves and their
own well being because they think we're so used to
this thing that like certain things you just gotta power through,
(20:57):
Like Wimbledon, you're gonna say no. First of all, she's
twenty three years old, so she's got a few Wimbledon's,
a few swipes at the Wimbledon uh in her career left.
But yeah, just a testament all of us, you know,
like let's just all remember that we're people, and like
sometimes it's better to really just focus on getting your
(21:18):
own self right and and pouring love into yourself then
feeling pressured to perform or whatever at your own expense.
I feel like this is like part of the zeitgeist
right now of like people emerging from the pandemic and
being like I'm not okay, or I don't want to
go back to work, uh, and like I shouldn't have to. Um,
(21:39):
you know, like people have had a chance to take
a pause from the you know, being in the grind,
and hopefully this is kind of a permanent change where
people the people have some rights as opposed to the
large organization. Exactly, we're all we're all becoming Rocky in
Rocky Balbo. Yeah, very good. Famous quote that is you're
(22:11):
the only person who remembers that. It's it's the most
inconsequential line I think of any film. Give people the
context because people don't know what you're talking about. Because
what he's trying to get reinstated a box like legally right.
Isn't that like what's going on? Oh? I thought it
was when he lost all his money. Okay, no, it
(22:31):
doesn't because they used his likeness in a video game?
Isn't that Rocky Balboa? Wait? What? No part of it? Wait?
I thought Rocky Balboa is the one where there's like
a video game re enactment where like he invites James
Tony Yeah, and then he's like, no, I don't think
(22:54):
there's rights involved. I watched that movie once. No, it was.
I Look, it doesn't even matter because that's how oh
silly it is. All you know is it's in the
context of someone the judge saying no to you in court.
You've lost a decision, and you're like, all right, I
guess the courts ruled, But then your idea to salvage
your case is to turn around and address the judge
(23:16):
one more time and just say they don't have got
it rights. It was like, yeah, you know what, I
like that. I like that energy. And then the rest
of the movie is about his battle to the He
takes it to the Supreme Court, but don't I got
rights case balbo versus the us UM. Hell yeah, all right,
(23:38):
Well that is gonna do it for this Thursday. We
are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about what the premacy,
and we'll talk to you all tomorrow. But
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I

He likes fishing. Yeah, he's like going into that ship.
Is he's an outdoors person? Yeah, Like I don't see
him like fucking with Runyon Canyon and ship. Yeah. Alright,
(04:44):
so that is why Zion is trending. Obamacare is trending
once again. The Supreme Court had to intervene. Uh and

than Floppy Trump for sure, because they're already doing it now.
So it's just that when will it reach the federal
level at that scale? Uh, there has been a discovery
(08:54):
of a fossil of what they're saying is the biggest landman. However, Um,
it's like a horse that is bigger than Uh it's
like kind of let's say, head and shoulders above an elephant. Um,
it's pretty I don't know what's the scale here, because
(09:15):
it looks like this ship looks like bigger than like
a fucking dinosaur. Yeah, I think that's why we're a
dinosaur horse. It's a horse, disa din horse? Um? What's
it called? It is called? Of course? Uh so they're
saying it's a it's a type of rhino, but it's
built like a course um, the giant rhino. It's like
(09:40):
some conservative rap. Yeah, the giant rhino, paris ortherium and
then that I'm not done, h linchi a and ce
So I think I nailed that in the Northeastern Tibetan
Plateau during the late all log A scene, the old
(10:05):
Keviny Loggin scene one movie. Uh yeah, it's wild though.
I mean that's what the thing that I think is underrated,
Like we dinosaurs appropriately rated, Like they are a thing
that kids just obsessed kids for an entire chunk of
(10:25):
their lives, as they should. They're giant lizards that like
they're so cool. However, I think it's underrated how they're
used to just be giant versions of the animals we
know that floor like the there's like a big black
crow that is the size of like a seven thirty seven,
(10:46):
And it's like they think that it was around when
humans walked the earth. And there's that's the reason that
like sometimes when a shadow goes over you, you'll like
feel the um skin on your arms rise up, because
we were like had to evolve to be scared like
(11:10):
damn big crows. Yeah like run yeah, I mean, could
you imagine how different the world would be if like
when you were outdoors, you were always worried about either
that it was gonna like start raining or that a
fucking massive like blimp sized crow was going to come
through and just pick you up and carry you off
to feed to its babies. Um, pick me up and
(11:32):
take me away to a better life. Yeah, take me away,
giant crow in your safe arms. Hold me in your arms,
you will raise you up. On giant there's like giant
h elk and ship that's like, you know what, it's massive.
(11:53):
I would really find like a skull or something. What
part did they did they unearth something? It just looks
like a giant chunk. It's a huge access of the
giant rhino. Compared to a technician, I don't know. By
telling me it's an access, I don't know what that means,
but it's it seems like it's a very central bone.
(12:16):
I would guess based on the access thing that allowed
them to be like oh oh boy, well well, um,
all right, let's take a quick break and we will
be right back to uh talk. Boy, hear me despare
about the sixers and we're back and yeah, so big
(12:45):
game last night we're talking of course about the Clippers
beating the Utah Jazz. Great to see George Yeah man
playoff P shout out to him. Yeah, he played great.
I think he has maybe nine. He was awesome. I
would if I was writing something, I'd say based on
his past postseason performances that he's due to like shake
(13:06):
that ship off and be able to get at like
you need that pain of talking big ship going to
the postseason and not delivering hopefully to them, be like no,
I'm not doing that ship again. Like for people who
aren't following the playoffs, the best the guy who's been
playing the best in the playoffs UH for the entire game,
not just the first half like Joel Embiid, but for
(13:26):
the entire game is Kawhi Leonard UH. And he just
went out with an injury UM, and so everyone's like, well,
the Clippers are doomed without him and then their second
best player but one of the most like universally derided
UH players because he once nicknamed himself playoff P and
then proceeded to pee his pants during those he is
(13:51):
he finally came through and played really great and he
actually hasn't been as bad as people make it out.
To be uh. Um. Anyways, that he came through Clippers one,
They're up three to the sixers. My team, Um, we're
up twenty six in the third quarter. And I did
(14:13):
not feel confident. And this might not mean anything because
I never feel confident because I always expect the worst
to happen, but this was especially a case. They had
already the last game they were up by I think
fourteen in the second half maybe and ended up losing
that one. So I was like, well, there there's always
a chance they blow it, and blow it they did. Yeah,
(14:38):
he just got tired. I mean he's we we've talked
before about how like some of the things he does
are like incredible because basically he's a seven ft three
Kobe Bryant. Like when he's fully at full speed and
at full energy, but he also like being seven ft
three and moving like you are not seven at three,
(15:00):
you're going to get exhausted. H And that happens a
lot to him. Uh. And so he was just way
off for the end of the game. Uh. Doc Rivers
kept him in. It was very bad. I kept Ben Simmons,
and Ben Simmons was really really bad. Ben Simmons seems
to be uh seems to be the one who is
taking the brunt of the criticism. Uh. Doc Rivers was, Yeah,
(15:27):
I think so. I think there's two things that are true.
I think one is that Ben Simmons uh can't shoot
free throws and is extremely limited and everything except defense,
because you can't you can't play in the modern NBA
without without being able to shoot uh, And so he
(15:52):
makes them very easy to game plan for. A good
coach like Nate McMillan can figure you out if you
have if one of your chess pieces on the court
consistently cannot shoot like that's just that that went the
way of the Dodo a long time ago in the
NBA because because that that's just like it's too dangerous
(16:15):
to have have somebody out there who can shoot like so.
But he's also one of the top three defenders in
the league, so they keep him out there because his
plus minus is always pretty good. UM. But last night
it kind of all came to a head because they
did a hack a shack, uh foula Ben whatever you
(16:38):
call it, where they just kept putting him on the line.
He missed ten free throws. And but I think there's
so I think that's true, Like he's too limited. You
can't have him be on the court in the playoffs.
Like that's people were saying at the beginning of the playoffs, Benson,
it makes the Sixers too easy to game plan for. Um.
(16:59):
The other thing is that Doc Rivers does not do
a good job making adjustments in in game or in series.
And the Sixers lost Game five for the same reason
and almost in the exact same way that they lost
Game four, and it's it's just very frustrating. I goes
(17:20):
out to you, I am now going to start wearing
my Sixer's hat because I want this season to be
put out of its miserable and I will put on
my Sixer's hat and not watch the game. And then
they start winning like what kind of But yeah, it's
it's interesting that you know that. So I watched this game, um,
(17:45):
because I watched the first half they were killing him.
I was like, all right, like normally you never watch. Normally, Normally,
I record the game, check the score after it's over,
so that I just like feel the pain of the
loss one time as opposed to just like dying slowly
over the course of the full game. But this one
(18:05):
seemed pretty safe. So I watched the whole thing and
it was like being you know, it's pretty traumatic to
watcher in this big game. And the last time that
I did that was the game that where Kauai hit
the game winning, the last one that I watched while
it was happening. So I have a good that might
(18:28):
be the power is watching. Then yeah, have I told
you that? Like when my dad was coaching the Celtics
and they made the Eastern Conference finals. I went to
game one, uh, and they lost to the net. Then
I was out of the country for games two. In
(18:50):
games three, they won those, and then I came back
and they lost the next three in front of me.
So like I do, like genuinely am a Chris is
like being your catholic. Guilt is just interesting with your
sports fandom in this way where you're actually taking the
burden on emotionally. It's definitely my fault. I think I
(19:10):
think we can all you know, maybe this is hell
you know who? Uh? All right, And finally, uh Naomi
Osaka is trending because she's dropped out of Wimbledon too,
you know, work on spend time working on herself and
spend time with family and friends. Uh, more power to her,
(19:33):
and fuck the tennis officials who were like, we stand
by it. Uh, we we don't need her. It's like, yeah, okay,
so you would have had Yeah, I guess who doesn't
give a funk about your sport when you don't have her?
And she probably would have won the French Open, right
like the person who won. Yeah, I mean yeah by
(19:54):
that logic, Yeah, if I was doing brackets. Yeah. Um.
She has confirmed for the Olympics, though, uh, which is
interesting and it almost suggests that she's specifically saying fuck
you to the tennis authority. And I think, you know,
being Japanese, I think that's a big thing for her
(20:14):
to represent Japan in the Tokyo Olympics and like, you know,
get a you know, possibly get a gold medal and
ship and they, I mean, you can't talk about a
better crowd to play in front of than in Japan,
being like the sensation that she is not just in
the US, but especially for Japanese people have Japanese people
(20:37):
like me, you know, just the whole. Yeah. So hopefully
she can she can you know, there's no mandated press
she has to do there and she can just focus
on that but yeah, I just love that She's It's
nice to see people create boundaries for themselves and their
own well being because they think we're so used to
this thing that like certain things you just gotta power through,
(20:57):
Like Wimbledon, you're gonna say no. First of all, she's
twenty three years old, so she's got a few Wimbledon's,
a few swipes at the Wimbledon uh in her career left.
But yeah, just a testament all of us, you know,
like let's just all remember that we're people, and like
sometimes it's better to really just focus on getting your
(21:18):
own self right and and pouring love into yourself then
feeling pressured to perform or whatever at your own expense.
I feel like this is like part of the zeitgeist
right now of like people emerging from the pandemic and
being like I'm not okay, or I don't want to
go back to work, uh, and like I shouldn't have to. Um,
(21:39):
you know, like people have had a chance to take
a pause from the you know, being in the grind,
and hopefully this is kind of a permanent change where
people the people have some rights as opposed to the
large organization. Exactly, we're all we're all becoming Rocky in
Rocky Balbo. Yeah, very good. Famous quote that is you're
(22:11):
the only person who remembers that. It's it's the most
inconsequential line I think of any film. Give people the
context because people don't know what you're talking about. Because
what he's trying to get reinstated a box like legally right.
Isn't that like what's going on? Oh? I thought it
was when he lost all his money. Okay, no, it
(22:31):
doesn't because they used his likeness in a video game?
Isn't that Rocky Balboa? Wait? What? No part of it? Wait?
I thought Rocky Balboa is the one where there's like
a video game re enactment where like he invites James
Tony Yeah, and then he's like, no, I don't think
(22:54):
there's rights involved. I watched that movie once. No, it was.
I Look, it doesn't even matter because that's how oh
silly it is. All you know is it's in the
context of someone the judge saying no to you in court.
You've lost a decision, and you're like, all right, I
guess the courts ruled, But then your idea to salvage
your case is to turn around and address the judge
(23:16):
one more time and just say they don't have got
it rights. It was like, yeah, you know what, I
like that. I like that energy. And then the rest
of the movie is about his battle to the He
takes it to the Supreme Court, but don't I got
rights case balbo versus the us UM. Hell yeah, all right,
(23:38):
Well that is gonna do it for this Thursday. We
are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about what the premacy,
and we'll talk to you all tomorrow. But
