Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments
from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. Well, what is a myth? What's something
people think it's true? You know to be false that
you can if you have your hazard lights on while
you're driving, you can traffic laws don't fly anymore. That
is a myth. Yeah. But I have seen like three
or four people in the last couple of weeks in
in l A where I'm like, you just can't just
(00:42):
put them on and do it. I fire them up
and I started, I'll stop in the middle of the
freeway to get them out of my trunk. Like if
you could, Yeah, if you could do that, everyone would
just have them on, ramming into each other, like my
lights on? What wait? What kind of egregious hazard light used?
Did you witness on the way here? Was what sparked
it where I was like, man, this is like something
I've seen three or four Uh, just one of those
(01:06):
star Line tour vans. Dude, just I watched him do
it and that he was in the far right lane
right in front of me, and he just put on
his his hazards and then just win over like and
did a complete you turn on Hollywood Boulevard like that.
It wasn't like how I'm gonna pick up these passengers
double park or something. It's like I'm using this. He
(01:29):
was just like he was just gonna, you know, veer
off to the right and be like this is how
crops to the left. And it was called hazards man,
I'm about to be a hazard yeah, and the what
I mean. But there's like other people stopping and looking
like I did, like, well, you can't right, not even
hand out the window that's that used to be the
(01:51):
hazard sign. He had this like look on his face
like this is how driving happens, Like there was no concern. Also,
were the passengers in it. I don't know. I couldn't
see because I was like, who is this man? If
that was my gig and I knew my company was
in short on that ship, I would probably be like
my fund that watched this, I'm not even sucking around.
I'm just gonna do this. You turn with the hazards on.
(02:11):
I mean, there's no emotion either way. It was just
like this is how my day goes, right, So that
was just I mean, I would I went from being
like what in the to being like all right, that's
next level that driving when you can't even be mad.
You're just like, I'm glad I got out of your way. Amazing.
Yeah he may be still doing it, just doing donuts.
(02:35):
He's like someone's gonna hit me. I was trying to
get hit, but everyone just keeps respecting. I think that
too when people go in their emergency lane like to
beat like morning rush hour traffic, and I'm always like, please,
dear God, if there's a good cop out there, let
me see you pull this asshole over right now, because
they'll be people just they throw the hazards on, they're
flying down their emergency lane. You're like that that is
not even that doesn't even prepare somebody just because the
(02:58):
lights are on, because by virtue, what you're doing just
like busting you turns from the far right lane. It's
just you're just gonna see somebody just like yeah there.
It's like the motorcycle guys, I respect hate them, yeah equally,
I'm like that's cool, but you're gonna die and I'm
okay with it, even they're splitting lanes and stuff. It's
(03:18):
that risk reward that most of life is. We're just like, right,
what's the consequences. You're like, I'm gonna get there thirty
minutes early, but I could die, right, Yeah, I'm gonna
have fun doing it. But if I don't have fun,
I might be dead. It just takes one stone or
jam and too hard to modest Yahoo to not notice
you swipe you yes and good night you. It's impressive though, Uh,
(03:42):
it is kind of impressive. That's why I said I
hate respect it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the
I think that right, Yeah, that is I'm not smared
too scared. God gives to live for that is the
yea the children thing now, m kids, see this is
this where you sucked up. I'm about to buy my
motorcycle now. Like. The thing they say about motorcycles is
(04:06):
that our brain like sometimes doesn't register them because our
brain is just like the way it's built. When we're
out driving, we're just looking for car shaped things that
are moving like cars, and so people will just drive
like it's not there. And I feel like motorcycles like
good motorcyclists recognize that and like drive defensively about it,
(04:26):
and then bad motorcyclists are like, I'm gonna take advantage
of that. They don't see me, like I'm behind you,
now I'm in front of you. I mean, all it
takes is you one time to almost kill a motorcyclist
to forever be afraid of killing one another motorcyclist as
a as a driver. Oh, in San Francisco, it's insane.
They're everywhere and those heels and everything. You're like, what happens?
Will you get hit? Sometimes that's what all of them say.
(04:49):
Sometimes you get hit. What's something people think is true?
You know to be false. So I had a couple
of ideas for this, and uh, like the netfl X
model is unsustainable, and now he's like, don't do that.
Do something fun. So the myth that I'm going to
dispel is the Netflix model is Uh, mozzarella sticks are
(05:14):
bad for you. That's the myth, and I'm gonna say no,
they're great for you. Follow the logic on this. Have
you guys ever been in a high stress situation? Yes?
Every day? Okay, And how does your body feel in
that high stress situation? I don't know. I never felt
different from the womb to the two. So have you
(05:35):
ever been in a more stressful situation? Yes? How does
your body feel that very very tight? Yes? Okay, okay,
So uh a while ago, now, I mean I were
in a working on a project that was we're working
with some terrible people. This is like, okay, we're I
don't know why we decided to sell a TV show
(05:56):
to the coach. We're writing scripts for Preger University videos.
But it was all about how frack it was there.
It was about a fracking team and how they're saving
the world and like discovered there's like a whole underground civilization. Hell,
(06:18):
it was right there in front of us the whole time. Um.
So it was about six years ago now, uh and
um I got um chest pains from this. Naomi got
an ulcer from this. This thing. It was really it
was not It was not good. We're under so much
stress and um what was what was the bright spot
in our lives? Why the food? We would ye? So
(06:42):
now I say this, when you were in a high
stress situation, why don't need a Motz realistic? Yeah? Ok?
From where from where? From where? From where? Though? Are
we well, where are we now in Los Angeles? I mean, like,
but I'm just saying that that, like I can't dictate
wherever you are. We're the best monz realistic I want
to get. Well, that was New York and I don't
know exactly call it out here. How suppies surprisingly the
(07:03):
best Mozarelli stick I've had a lot of us. Cosablona
comes in second because they have a smoky mozarellistick, but
it's not but it's like homemade. It's delicious, but it's
when you want, like a Mozzarelli stick, flower shell, deliciously fried.
How Sa pies. Nothing else on the Mendi was great,
but their mozarellisis how spies. You know. That's what I
(07:24):
think most doctors say. If you're having chest pains, have
some Mozo realistic. I think, what's going on when people
people talk about my arm, but I should have these
Maza realistics with the other one. When people talk about
the placebo effect, they picture like sugar pills only, but
I do feel, you know, the placebo effect basically means
how you think you feel. It is like how your
(07:48):
body is actually going to you know, behave and medically exists,
and I feel like, you know, eating comfort food sometimes
is oh hell yeah healthy. There's nothing that man, I
know outlue what you mean stress eating and I won't
go hand in hand, yeah, and also knowing there are
certain things that you eat that make you feel really good.
I love a French dip sandwich. That's just that's just
(08:11):
how I self medicaid with food with French dip. That
seems yeah. Well, I mean like you have philips you
can get you know, there's a way to make it
yourself where you get the little packet and uh just
make a weird one on your stove, not that great French,
right am I? Right? Well, you know when you you'll
(08:31):
see my ex massage, security guards beat the ship out
of you if you try to get I was wondering
if authenticity is becoming less of a thing in in
like modern hip hop and just modern culture in general,
because we have like YouTube stars who are like the
Paul Brothers, who are just like bad. They're just caricature
(08:55):
w a caricatures of like something but like not actually
believe probably authentic in any way. Right well, but then
I think, but but really, the artists that do really
well are the actual artists who are really like, this
is me, this is what I'm doing, this is how
I'm choosing to express myself, no matter what the genres,
because I think there's a sincerity about someone really expressing
(09:17):
themselves truly that no matter what the beats are, the lyrics,
or the package, it just it just connects with people
on a deeper level. You know. I think that authenticity
is a term that's thrown around a lot these days,
and and and I and look, I think that I
am very authentic. I think I have a very authentic voice.
(09:37):
I think that my memoir is very authentic, and anything
that I do is authentic. Um So, if people are
going to be storytellers and the claim is that they
are telling their own story right as opposed to writing fiction,
then I want authenticity. And I think that m c
(09:58):
s would probably consider of themselves storytellers. I think the
best of them are. And here in I also want authenticity.
I think That's why I think I'm having an issue
with saying, Okay, you know, I'm down with this, or
I do that, or you know, going back to the
guys I was telling you about in the industry, who
you know suddenly acted like they were, you know, so
(10:19):
so down. I mean to me, one of the most
beautiful manifestations of authenticity and hip hop was Redman's episode
of Cribs. You know this is you know for that
show MTV Cribs. They used to rent houses for the rappers,
they used to rent cars for the rappers. So that's
(10:43):
the furthest thing from authenticity, right, that's the opposite. And
he's so disrupted that he completely subverted that most what's right,
right because right because exactly here, here's the here's the
box on top of them, here's a cereal box on
top of my fridges has the dollar bills, right, And
I think that's also speaks very much to his talent
and his confidence and knowing there's nothing that I could
(11:04):
do or show you that's going to ever shake who
I am as Red Man. And so the notion that
there is a show based on luxury, on aspirational living
and it's all about consumerism, that too, is kind of
offensive to me. I never fucking watched that show. I
never watched I never watched Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
(11:25):
I never watched any of those things that shoved in
my face. Wouldn't your life be amazing if it was this,
because those are not the things that define happiness external,
that's right, They're completely external. And look, I would love
a nice, big fat crib. I'd love to fucking fly
private and all that. I would love that, but that's
not I'm not on the paper chase. So the fact
(11:47):
that there there there was so much programming. I don't
know if there's anymore. I don't really watch television like that.
But the fact that there was so much programming around,
um wanting to be wealthy and live in luxury, I
think is kind of gross to the point that you
fake it again. It's fake it, right, rent this house
(12:07):
with which house do you want? I want the one
with the fucking big gass, you know. I want the
one with the big gass aquarium. And it's got to
have the ye, I don't know, obscene aquarium. Okay, Well, yeah,
just all of those markers of success which are firmly
based in capitalism, absolutely right, which kind of goes back
to the conversation about billionaires like capital and capitalism. My
(12:30):
girlfriend Trevial lindsay, it's a capitalism makes us ship hard,
so it makes it hard you know, it's it just
it just necessarily, if you think about it, it it necessarily
compromises everything we do. I own a home, right, Yeah, Well,
and I think it's funny too, as you say, like
(12:51):
they need to sell a mirage of aspirational wealth and
things like that, because to to really inoculate people or
get people to buy into that thinking is the precisely
kinds of ship you see in the form of like centrism,
where really evaluating what the issues are and if there
is a class of wealth in this country that is
actually working against everything and a lot of systemic issues
(13:13):
are coming from this mentality of like consume, consolidates, gather
as much as possible to the detriment of others. You Like,
that's sort of how these programs function because it's sort
of like this thing in the back of your mind.
It's like why don't should I be Should I be
mad at millionaires? Because like what if I'm a millionaire?
You know, like that would be sick. So maybe I
should go easy on them because that could be me,
(13:33):
you know what I mean, Like there's that suddenly works
on your subconscious because for me, as a fucking what
fourteen year old probably watching cribs at the time fifteen,
I was fully fully I'm sure you found a completely
I went to the back of the Source magazine and
ordered fake canary yellow diamond areas and ship. I wanted
to fucking show out because in my mind that really
(13:57):
was I had a very one dimensional idea of what
success or happiness as do most of that. Absolutely, but
that's but again, that's where we live. We live in America,
right right. I love fancy things. I wear a Gucci hat,
I buy product shoes. You know, I I absolutely am
part of this system. There's no doubt in my mind.
(14:18):
You know. The other thing I think about you guys
in terms of authenticity is that you know, I came
up in an erraw where there was no social media, righty,
And so I think about I think, is it safe
to say that Instagram is probably the most robust platform
for artists more definitely more so than Twitter and Facebook. Yeah. Yeah,
it depends on where you Yeah Instagram for sure. Right.
(14:39):
So let's say I have one, two, three, ten million followers,
and it's all about pictures. So it's all about what
I wear, where I live, what I drive, whom I'm fucking,
what I'm eating what I'm drinking. I mean, I cannot imagine,
you guys, the how onerous it is to sustain this
(15:05):
big willie. Back in the day, we used to say
big Willie, this big willy lifestyle, you know. I mean,
you know, so what if you walk down the street
and you just want to like, you're not wearing whatever
the fuck or whatever the brands are, whatever the sneakers are,
and stuff like that. You know, I never I never
want to be in a position where I'm going to
(15:26):
be I take uber pools. I'm a fucking immigrant. When
I look at the four dollar price difference, I'm like,
I could afford the four dollars, but I can't prostitutionally.
As an immigrant, I can't tell a voice in your yeah,
my mother, Yeah, it's my mother going, why don't you
take the subway? Right? And I'm like, I'm treating myself
to a pool. But just the notion of, you know,
(15:47):
going back to authenticity, a lot of that too, I
think is not necessarily authentic because I think a lot
of the artists out there are spending their money on
these things that present a lifestyle. But then, do you
own a home, right, do you have a trust for
your children, right, where is your money parked? Right? So
(16:10):
you might not, you might not go into the stock
market or whatever, but is it somewhere Because some of
these guys, millions of dollars will go through their hands
and leave their hands. And that's okay. Look, if I
was a nineteen year old kid, I'd spend the ship
out of my money. I would be. I would be,
I would be off the chains, I would be all
the rails. I would be foolish. Right. But the notion
(16:32):
that I now, oh, fuck you guys, I gotta post.
Hang on, I gotta go buy these shoes. Hang on,
I gotta go do that. I gotta go do that.
That's a lot. I gotta pose by this like villa. Yeah,
I've got to be in a G five. I perform
at my friends from TV or also my friends in reality. Yeah.
Well yeah, And I think that's sort of That's why
(16:53):
I think the Instagram is that it's the perfect sales
tool because it sells people on seemingly authentic versions of life.
Because people it's like, well a person posted that not
person with a stylist sucking whole marketing plant, and lightning
was yeah, who has someone probably editing the photo itself,
so it probably has deals going with brands to figure
(17:14):
out like okay, well here's the deal. We'll get you
to this location and then do subtle things and that
kind of helps, you know, create this thing of longing
through your your phone screen. Yeah, and it's even worse
for women, right right, So okay, take that picture, but
get rid of all my age spots, you guys, get
rid of the bags under my eyes and get rid
of the wrinkles and everything. And I'm going to get
surgery and I'm going to do all this and I'm gonna,
(17:36):
you know, my tids are gonna be bigger, and my
waist is going to be smaller, my ass is going
to be bigger. And no shade to anybody that does this,
I'm That's not what I'm saying. But we are living
in a time where there where we can actually buy
a certain kind of beauty. Right, So if we if
we have the means, and we're all going towards frankly,
(17:59):
what I think is a very a narrow right the
definition of beauty. Well, first of all, we're gonna become
more homogeneous, which I never like, right, And then what
does it mean for me raising a daughter who was
a yellow girl again in a white world, right, who
does not fit into this paradigm of beauty. How do
I tell her if she says to me, and she
(18:21):
never would, but if she said to me, Mommy, I
want to get this job or that job or whatever,
you know, the things that we have to battle, and
so to be a famous woman too, Like nobody gives
a funk what a man eats. Okay, nobody gives a fuck.
But if somebody sees an actress, let's say she's a
thin actress and she's eating a cheeseburger, Like, what that's
a fucking story. Now, who she's brave? Yeah, right, exactly,
(18:45):
She's brave for eating what she wants human beings. Yeah, yeah,
ah man, it's uh yeah. And I think also, like
growing up in l Amen, I've I see how quickly
people's ship gets poisoned by this like performative. I've heard
that too, like wealth ship, and it's yeah, it's and
the beauty right, like if I'm going to go out
and I'm going to be on the red car, but
(19:07):
you know what, Sophia is not quite pretty. You know what,
I think I have to upgrade from Sophia, right right, right,
I've got to get somebody who's younger and thinner. Yes,
And yeah, they're like, oh, well, like I can't pull
up to a party with you because you're college to
that's right. And I can't pull up in this car either, yeah, exactly,
Like okay, what you can park your prelude around the corner, right, Yeah,
we'll act like our limo broke down. Okay, that goes
(19:32):
mom the city bike in New York. Yeah, and I
take gouberpools there you go. I mean, but that's the thing, like, right,
I think it's about people being able to realign what
makes them happy or redefine what makes them happy. I
think because we have because consumer culture makes us think
when I attain X, then I will be happy. That's
not I will be happy. Right, then I can attain whatever,
(19:52):
and and those things have to be the gravy, not
the meat. Right, Like my X and I talked about
this in my memoir is a three four generation Joleon Monk.
And when we started seeing each other, I you know completely.
I was a stylist and he started wearing product sport
and stuff like that, and he looked really great, and
I remember people looking askance at him and they're like, oh,
(20:12):
I didn't know that Buddhist monks could wear a product
like you know what sucker they call me, because it's
not about it's not about him wearing the product. It's
about him being attached to it. And he would never
be attached right right, right right, he fucking slept on
a concrete floor for like, I don't think he's going
to care if he can't wear a fucking product jacket tomorrow.
It's like not having running water will kind of that
(20:35):
exactly exactly the notion. It's not about having it for me,
it's about I have to actively exercise not being attached
to it. And I think that what's really really important
for us spiritually and just for our soul and our
our internal happiness is to not let the external world
define it. Am I happy if I buy a new
(20:57):
pair of shoes, Sure I am. But does that to
find my happiness or define me? Of course it does,
because if if the shoes are taken away and it
sucks you up, then right, that's exactly what happens. It's
the same thing with praise, right of getting too attached
to people's praise it's like, yes, that can feel good,
but if that becomes your be all, end all, what
do you do when that you no longer hear that
(21:19):
from It's like it's a good reminder, but I don't
need that. I don't feed off. That's not my fucking oxygen.
You have to have your your internal barometer and your
internal compass have to be so fucking solid. And then
all of it is like you take it and it
comes and it goes and it's fine, smooth like water baby.
(21:40):
Yeah exactly. It's like Bruce Lee, you like water, my friend.
All Right, we're gonna take a quick break and we're back.
Let's talk about Lebron James. Uh. This this upset me
(22:01):
more than I more than it should have, more than
I cared to admit. Yeah. Um So, look, the n
B a uh and pretty much any company doing business
with China that's an American based company is going through
a bit of a time now where people have to
be like, should we talk out loud in favor of
people who are being oppressed by this autocratic regime? I
(22:22):
don't know, order like money better. And the NBA saga
unfolded when Darryl Moria from the Rockets tweeted out an
image and solidarity of the Hong Kong protests and then
fired dude cause a cause of massive profits fire like
Leaning Sports, where ended their deal with the Rockets ten
Cent like every company a lot of companies are doing
(22:43):
business with the NBA, or like, we're done. Harden and
Russell Westbrooke in the immediate aftermath were like, we love
China is actually really tight to me fans, They're super
tight author communism slash capitalism, so sick though whatever, I
guess I'm more I was more willing to forgive that
because it was the day after and they were clearly
(23:04):
like had a gun to their head, whereas this is like, yeah, well,
I think week and a half later, Lebron James he
has to say so. I'm sure he was probably asked,
I'm sure that's how it all happened, and his answer anyway,
he just has this quote he said, I don't want
to get into a verbal feud with Daryl Morey, but
I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand,
and he spoke, and he spoke, uh, and so many
(23:27):
people could have been harmed, not only financially physically emotionally, spiritually,
So just be careful what we tweet and say, and
we do even though yes, we do have freedom of speech,
but there can be a lot of negative that comes
with that too. I mean, unless we play in China,
than we don't. Right, I'm just what what was? What? What?
(23:48):
What is he? I don't understand that he he he
wasn't educated on the situation. What is he misinformed by?
I was confused? What? What? What did le Bron James
think that dare almore? He didn't know when he tweeted
support for the people in Hong Kong who are being
like riot policed to I think I don't know the
(24:10):
cinecals and the whole like the law, like what was
going on with the is an extradition? I forget the
exactly Like what the reason why rendition? I think? Yeah?
I think really what it says the translation might be
talking about China can funk up everyone's money. We aren't
willing to confront their transgressions because it would risk our revenues,
(24:32):
so we have chosen to ignore this because money is
more important. Yeah, I think is what he meant, right, See, guys,
it's a class war. No, but but again, you know,
and it's a very odd It was a weird thing
to say, and I can only imagine the league's biggest
star probably has to send up a flare to Chinese
(24:53):
business interests to say like, I am still in line
with whatever y'all are trying to But even the NBA,
after they initially issued a statement that was like kind
of the in this direction, that was sort of like, well,
you know, there's multiple sides to everything. Uh, Adam Silver
came out and was, you know, said made a statement
(25:16):
that was definitely picking the side of you know, freedom
of speech and pissing China off. So like it's not
like Adam Silver was behind him being like say this
or or else. Yeah, No, it was all about not
fucking up his money. It's like he's about progressive values
until it becomes unconfident. It's a little Yeah, it's a
(25:38):
little sad to see because on one hand, I I
can understand privately if he's what he's saying is to
someone else who goes man, Darrell should have known. He's like,
we've we're in bed with China. That's like a third
rail topic, like you only talk about the business and
that don't talk about anything about what their government does
or anything to do with their domestic reform. You can
talk about the meg another international co production and how
(26:01):
and how sick Leaning footwear is. But like, that's where
I wish you would have just not said anything at all,
because I can stomach him just being, you know, about
his money and not really trying to act like he's
some kind of savior type person. But it's drawn a
lot of criticism. Him saying this has drawn a lot
of krypt Muhammad Ali's wife was like, Muhammad Ali wouldn't
(26:22):
have done that, and he wouldn't have. No, he wouldn't have.
But I I do think it's sometimes important to remember,
like you you shouldn't have your hopes like pinned on.
Like I don't watch athlete interviews after the game for
a reason, like they are always boring as fuck, and
like I like they don't have interesting performances. Thank God,
(26:44):
I want to thank Leaning sportswear. Jesus. I want to
thank I'm sorry I mispoke, not Jesus jimping. She's in
Christ Yeah, but Ali Kaepernick, Uh, Like you can't you
can't really count that many athletes who were like important,
you know, O J. Simpson on Twitter. Uh, sorry, obviously
(27:10):
you know the great What did O J say? Oh
my god, he's just much He's incredible. Love China make
some great knives, right, Well, I think that's the whole deal,
right as certain people in your activism, if you're really
about your activism, you will follow that path wherever leads
you for the faint of heart. And I think that's
(27:30):
what we see is at the end of the day,
Lebron James is a capitalist. That's his prerogative. I mean,
this is what Michael Jordan's probably would have done or said, Yeah,
he would have been protesters exactly. I mean, is that
your Michael Jordan impression? No, we just not. I don't.
I don't think there's a way to properly do Michael Jordan's.
But but he did say sound like kids. Yeah, he's
(27:52):
he's not a very kind guy. But like you know,
for example, you know Ennis Cantor, who's a Turkish player.
He tweeted out basically after came out, he said, have
so anyway and his Cantor is basically cannot go back
to Turkey dead. Yeah, And and and his Cantor has been
outspoken and a very big critic of Ara to Wan
and so that comes with consequences, and he tweeted, haven't
(28:15):
seen or talked to my family five years, jailed my dad,
my siblings can't find jobs, revoked my passport, international arrest warrant,
my family can't leave the country. Got death threats every day,
got attacked, harassed, tried to kidnap me. In Indonesia, freedom
is not free. And I think that sort of realigning
the stakes for people here. It's like this isn't just
(28:37):
some It's not just like is the is it? Did it?
Was it? Yanni or Laurel. It's like here, it's not like,
oh yeah, I'm either cool with this or no, actually
this is actually and I cannot abide by this. It
just depends on your point of view. And again should
have taken other people's point of views into account. Take
the middle road like most people and just don't say
(28:58):
anything at all, you know, but if you're going to don't,
don't don't speak speak on the right side please. Um.
By the way, has anyone ever done an arid Juan
slash and one mash up? Because I would that. Yeah,
I mean, his crossover was masked. I saw him fucking
(29:20):
spin hot sauce in half. It was incredible. What is
a myth? What's something people think is true? You know
to be false that Asian men aren't sexy? Okay, okay,
I don't have a problem if you have a preference.
I totally get that. We all we all have preferences.
But when people make the blanket statements that's right, Come on, everybody,
(29:44):
nobody finds Asian sexy. Um, I want to slap the
ship out because you are effectively erasing a whole gender,
of a whole race. And I've been thinking about this
a lot, you guys, in terms of my memoir, visibility
(30:05):
and eraser and black women too erased, me, too erased, right,
and how we actively have to ourselves und erase ourselves
and give ourselves the visibility, which isn't fair. We shouldn't
have to do that, we should just have it right,
but we don't, so we have to fight for that.
(30:27):
So you know the notion, I mean, the father of
my two children is a thirty four generation Shallon monk
who could kill you with his bare hands in thirty seconds.
But there are a myriad other incredibly sexy man Bruce Lee,
god reciscal Chean Fat, Tony Long, I mean, Jake CHOI.
It's just to the way that the West has systematically
(30:50):
emasculated and castrated my brothers while simultaneously exoticizing, eroticizing, and
fetishizing me. Isn't fury? Yeah, um, you fell in love
with Chian Fat because who um? So I grew up
(31:11):
yellow in a white world and yellow wanting to be
white in a white world. And then I heard hip
hop that I moved to New York and then I
then I meet Wu Tang and you know they're talking
about you know, you know there's that great skin on
thirty six Chambers where Ray is saying, you know, meth,
where's my killer tape? Where's my killer tape? And and
I was like, Okay, you know what, I'm gonna pay
attention to this because they were so deeply respectful of
(31:35):
Asian culture in general. But they loved John Woo. So
I watched The Killer, and I watched Hard Boiled, and
I went down the John rabbit hole and I watched
all of his movies. I still have the laser discs.
I watched all of his movies. Still. I actually still
have a way to google it. Um, I've I don't
know how many times I've seen The Killer, Um, I don't.
It's my favorite movie all time, of all time. Chian
(31:56):
Fat is his muse in the same way that DeNiro
um of course, as he's mused. And to me, John
Woo was the greatest director of all time and Giant
Fad is the greatest actor of all time. And I
think that what Asian action movies managed to do that
I don't know that Western ones are able to do
is infuse philosophy. And maybe that comes from the martial
(32:20):
arts tradition, right, because in the martial arts movies, you
have action, but you always have philosophy, whether it's Buddhism
or Taoism or you know, a form of Confucianism. And
so a perfect example, I'll tell you there's a movie
called It Departed, right, and it was huge at one
the Academy Award that year. Um. That movie was a
(32:41):
remake of a Hong Kong movie called Infernal Affairs, and
it was directed by Andy Law. I believe now, if
you watch The Departed, it was my favorite movie of
that year. If you watch The Departed and then you
watch Infernal Affairs, you can see that The Departed had
to have a Hollywood andy right in a way that
(33:01):
Infernal Affairs did not feel beholden to, making you know
it's going to be right, the bad guy's going to
get it, and the conflict and there were great actors
in the department and it's going to He's an amazing director.
But the conflict that was demonstrated in Infernal Affairs was
made that movie so much more touching and compelling, emotionally
(33:27):
compelling for me. Does it end with a rat coming
in and winking at the camera. That should be the
alternate flip your laser disc over. Alright, guys, we have
to get to the story of Robert Downey Jr's return
(33:49):
to the big screen silver screen Tempole post COMMI Robert
Downey Jr. Is do it all just like Joker, So
this is like Joker. It's equally anticipated. Also won the
award for Top Film at the Venice Film Festival when
(34:11):
it premiered there, Yeah do little uh sobbing in the audience.
So this movie, I think technically is the opposite of
those attributes, and that it was set for to be
released last spring and has instead been held for January,
which is generally like studio dumping ground where they just
(34:34):
all the I mean it's a kids movie, right, So
I don't know that like a kids movie. I mean
it is a kids movie because Dr Doolittle lives in
an enchanted castle where he has a toy train running
through it for some reason. Uh like a weird Fao
schwartz in mushroom. Yeah, like toys the Robin Williams movie.
Love it, but it's so what One sign that we're
(34:59):
in on shaky ground is that Robert Downey Junior, in
order to keep himself focused, attempted a Welsh accent. Yeah.
I don't know what that was. She literally said, he's
doing it as a fun challenge for himself. A Welsh accent.
So it is Christian Bale's accent, which if you've ever
(35:22):
listened to Christian Bale in interviews, sometimes he sounds like
he has an accent, sometimes he doesn't. It's like, why
does Christian Bale have a fake accent? He doesn't. He
has a Welsh accent, which even Welsh people are like,
it's really a weird accent, or depending on where you are,
just differ. I mean, Katherine Zeta Jones is also Welsh,
and you're like, I it's like vaguely English but so
(35:44):
like Madonna. Yeah, like Lindsay Lohan. Like the other time
that somebody tried to do a really difficult accent. Leonardo
DiCaprio did a South African accent in Blood Diamond, and
everyone's like, it's the worst accent work ever. But then
South some South African people were like, no, it's actually
really good, but we just have a weird accent that like,
(36:06):
on some words, it sounds like you forgot to do
the accent, and in other words it sounds like you
have a thick act. I remember my first trumpet teacher
when I was taking lessons as a kid, who like
worked at my school. His wife was South African, and
when she spoke, I was like, as a kid, I
didn't know what the accent was, and I thought, I
was like, it sounds like she's from Texas mixed with England.
Is what my first description of the South African action. Yeah, anyways,
(36:28):
this movie is it's fucking I don't know, it's garbage.
It looks like absolute trash. The trade looks like absolute trash.
It's not for you, it's for children, okay, but it's
very serious that it has a very serious vibe to it,
Like it starts with like really dramatic, like sweeping shots
and dramatic Louis Armstrong. It's a wonderful world, is not.
(36:52):
That's when he's going to be terrible, that my terrible
attempts who smooth? But it's not that it's and it's
a normal presentation. It is the like echo e version
where like like the Facebook movie whatever that was called
(37:13):
Social Network, right right right right? Uh, you know, I
just there were so many things in it that were
very odd. I just, for whatever reason, I just can't
stand the polar bearer wearing a nit cap. Why. I
don't know, Come, are you guys angry? That includes animals
that will be extinct within our lifetime? Here's what about?
(37:35):
It cost a hundred and seventy five million dollars to make. Jesus,
they spent a Marvel movies worth of budget on this movie.
It's like, you guys don't live in Los Angeles. Yeah,
it's made by the guy who wrote and directed Syriana
wrote Traffic? Are you serious? And he had to be
(37:58):
replaced halfway through because of Cprently he was The animals
were attacking doctor Doolittle, killing him. I hear David Simon
wrote the original script. Yeah, the a lot of the imagery.
I mean, it's one of those things. It's a hard
needle to thread with Doctor Doolittle movies, I feel like,
because it has to almost be fully cartoonish so for
it to not like sort of start veering into the absolutely.
(38:21):
I think that's what we're responding to is it's like
if you made Flipper a dramatic, dramatic film, where like
Flipper was a trained assassin. Like, that's what this trailer
feels like. Imagine Red Sparrow mixed with Flipper exactly, it's
just red tie. That's actually. I mean the there was
a time when the CIA was trying to do that.
(38:43):
Not the CIA. It was like some Russian or intelligence
there was some intelligence agent that was trying to train
dolphins to do think the Germans. I think everybody was
basically like, I don't know, fucking get these sea dogs.
We have billions of dollars, we might as well do
whatever what the funk we want. They tried to do
it with cats. It was called Operation Acoustic Kitty, and
it did not go well, are you serious like to
(39:04):
do what? It was something I think they were bomb
like bomb carrying cats. But are the reason the the no, No,
there were cats spies. They were cats with recording devices,
got it, And that's why I was acoustic kitty. And uh,
there's a reason that hurting cats is something that's a
(39:27):
saying for something that's impossible. Well, I mean they should
have just got doctor Doolittle because he could have just
had the cats back and say what did you hear?
Oh my god, there's your gritty remake of doing where
he's trained. He's getting animals to right, right right. That
would actually be interesting to see Doolittle in the modern world.
But this is just like Doolittle in Pirate Pirates of
(39:48):
the Caribbeans, like vaguely vaguely Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah,
that would be great, like like a series of Homeland
type but little Doolittle, Yes, right, thank you. What's the
me is that the inconclusive? Yes, this is the second
winner of a movie idea that we've come up with
(40:09):
in the past three episodes. It's a free punch up. Yeah,
the Nightmare on Elm Street, but it's people who get
too high is the other their panic brings on Freddy
Krueger to freak them up. So it's like how high plus? Yeah? Yeah?
Too high? Yeah? How high? All right, We're gonna take
(40:30):
another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. Well,
as much as I'd like to continue discussing the only
news story we should care about, the impending doom of
(40:51):
our earth, it's time we talk about the fact that
people could be putting weed in your kids halloween candy.
Happy Halloween. The Johnstown Police Department in Pennsylvania are back
at it again. In my mind, I believe we've talked
about this department before when they were asking people to
(41:12):
volunteer get drunk for a study. But either way, they
just viral stunts. I don't know, could you have? That's
probably where we're headed at least department doing viral content.
I don't know what they get out of it, but
like the well, if the social media the head of
social media for their police department is like you, gets promoted,
(41:33):
a few viral stunts are like proposal videos can paper
over a shooting? Yeah, like, well what about that white
what about the white cop that you know hit them
folks at that barbecue? You know what I mean? The
dance not literally hitting somebody the dance move. You've never
seen an undercover mille rock. Yeah, hious? And they kiss
a dog, not they just shot a woman fucking in
(41:54):
her own home in Fort Worth through a fucking window.
But upload that video of the police are doing the
Harlem shake, right, we forgot to be fair. I do
think that cops don't have problems going virall right now,
just not for the reasons they would probably like, Yeah,
I mean maybe that's the idea. Is that there? Thank you?
That's a straight up for you the yeah may I
(42:19):
I could totally see the meeting where they come up
with that strategy of like, we got to combat all
this negative social media publicity that we're getting out there.
Come on, pitch me ideas, guys. Cops can be fun, Yeah,
can be fun. This cop was a former break dancer.
I would that people need to remember that we are
out there protecting their children. What's the story that we
(42:40):
could tell about that? Oh what about that child that
was shot because they thought he had a gun? Not
that the Remember how we used to be afraid that
people would put razor blades in our candy boom? Yeah,
here we go there, How would that even work? Okay?
Bite into a candy bar well, because I think I
think you you push the razorblade into the flesh of
(43:02):
the apple and then the caramel app the caramel covers
over the actual Also just like candy bars with my
teeth the most impervious that my mouth bones, right if
you took a full on bite though, and there was
a razorblade and will cut your mouth. It's just not
(43:22):
the most efficient way to do harm via Halloween um on.
This apparently is according to the Johnstown Police Department. They
have this whole Facebook post says attention, the Johnstown Police
would like to draw extra attention to the nerds rope
edibles containing four milligrams of thhc are so good. I
know one fucking movie candy um foundering a search warrant
(43:48):
in Stony Creek. It says, Okay, during this Halloween, we
urge parents to be ever vigilant and checking their children's
candy before allowing them to consume those treats. Drug laced
edibles are package like regular candy and maybe hard to
distinguished from real candy. Okay, now it looks like maybe
if you're just like the dude who's making your own
wild edibles you sell them like this to avoid detection
from the police, not because you have a scheme where
(44:10):
you're throwing thousands of dollars away to play a sick
ass prank from the kids of this town. I want
to bankrupt myself by getting a bunch of six year
old ties use of my money, give away all of
the weed that I bought to sell kids to make
their Halloween extra spooks. I mean, you should obviously check
(44:31):
your kids candy. I think that's that's all fair, But
I don't know if this is like they're like, what
where Kiva mints? Are those for kids? I mean, I'll
personally be giving away jewel pods at my house for
this trigger yeah hell yeah, yeah, dude, I just want
to be cool with the kids. For me, it's to
be cool, you know what. I mean that some Fortnite stuff,
(44:54):
But in the long run, it might be just as
bad as putting razor blades in an Apple fiber glass
truth campaign. Dang, yeah, you're giving a fucking jarum clove cigarettes?
Yeah do that? Wait? What did those really like? What
did those do? I mean, hadn't taste delicious? I remember
(45:14):
the myth was that they like they were like fiberglass fibers,
because that's why they hit so smooth. Dude. Oh yeah,
that was like, that's why they hit so smooth because
the fiberglass is four khc a strong edible like a lot.
That's yes, Danial is headbanging and that is too much
(45:37):
kids to one day elementary school age. You're on Halloween
because it is like spooky, you do like maybe fifteen
twenty to go to sleep nice. I don't know if
they I mean, I don't think they found a lethal
dose of thhc that there's such a thing. I don't know.
I think I found mine. And like most of in
(46:00):
this I pick theater. I'm right now. I'm in my
afterlife a dream. This makes sense. Perjury, Yeah, you're like anxiety.
Your anxiety attack can kill you Freddy Krueger style, like
just because you believe you're dead. Yes, that's what Freddy
(46:22):
Krueger was happening. That's really good idea. Freddy Kruger attacks
people are too high. It's my nightmare. It's like you
do this every time one CBD drink. I don't know,
(46:50):
but it's something from your search history that's regaling about
who you are today. I was reading with a friend
of mine today and I could not remember the answer
to this, so I was googling a queen quean who
fucked horses? Yes, you talked about the Great? Yeah, I
made it Catherine the Great reference. Yeah, and that name
(47:13):
came to my mind much easier than it should have.
So I think we were like pulling the same and
it all happened when we were riffing about like hot posters.
We would have had his kids. I'm like, anybody have
a daisy flints? And then I went back like Twinky, Wait,
does she have a sex withal horse? Now? That's just
(47:33):
like Napoleon. The worst they could come up with about
him was that he was short, right now, that's stuck.
And that's how the Great Katherine the Great, which is
a little uneven. Yeah, yeah, I've seen that video with
Kenny Pinion. Yeah, but it's just like that's that's how
sensitive men are. Yeah, just like, yeah, one thing we
(47:55):
know will piss him off is if you ignore that
he is of average. Yeah, exactly. This is when Mike
Tyson wants a high seat. Yeah, all right, that's gonna
(48:18):
do it. For this week's weekly Zeite, guys, please like
and review the show. If you like the show, uh
means the world to Miles. He needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to you Monday. By S.
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Weekly Zeitgeist. Uh. These are some of our favorite segments
from this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment
laugh stravaganza. Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is
(00:22):
the Weekly Zeitgeist. Well, what is a myth? What's something
people think it's true? You know to be false that
you can if you have your hazard lights on while
you're driving, you can traffic laws don't fly anymore. That
is a myth. Yeah. But I have seen like three
or four people in the last couple of weeks in
in l A where I'm like, you just can't just
(00:42):
put them on and do it. I fire them up
and I started, I'll stop in the middle of the
freeway to get them out of my trunk. Like if
you could, Yeah, if you could do that, everyone would
just have them on, ramming into each other, like my
lights on? What wait? What kind of egregious hazard light used?
Did you witness on the way here? Was what sparked
it where I was like, man, this is like something
I've seen three or four Uh, just one of those
(01:06):
star Line tour vans. Dude, just I watched him do
it and that he was in the far right lane
right in front of me, and he just put on
his his hazards and then just win over like and
did a complete you turn on Hollywood Boulevard like that.
It wasn't like how I'm gonna pick up these passengers
double park or something. It's like I'm using this. He
(01:29):
was just like he was just gonna, you know, veer
off to the right and be like this is how
crops to the left. And it was called hazards man,
I'm about to be a hazard yeah, and the what
I mean. But there's like other people stopping and looking
like I did, like, well, you can't right, not even
hand out the window that's that used to be the
(01:51):
hazard sign. He had this like look on his face
like this is how driving happens, Like there was no concern. Also,
were the passengers in it. I don't know. I couldn't
see because I was like, who is this man? If
that was my gig and I knew my company was
in short on that ship, I would probably be like
my fund that watched this, I'm not even sucking around.
I'm just gonna do this. You turn with the hazards on.
(02:11):
I mean, there's no emotion either way. It was just
like this is how my day goes, right, So that
was just I mean, I would I went from being
like what in the to being like all right, that's
next level that driving when you can't even be mad.
You're just like, I'm glad I got out of your way. Amazing.
Yeah he may be still doing it, just doing donuts.
(02:35):
He's like someone's gonna hit me. I was trying to
get hit, but everyone just keeps respecting. I think that
too when people go in their emergency lane like to
beat like morning rush hour traffic, and I'm always like, please,
dear God, if there's a good cop out there, let
me see you pull this asshole over right now, because
they'll be people just they throw the hazards on, they're
flying down their emergency lane. You're like that that is
not even that doesn't even prepare somebody just because the
(02:58):
lights are on, because by virtue, what you're doing just
like busting you turns from the far right lane. It's
just you're just gonna see somebody just like yeah there.
It's like the motorcycle guys, I respect hate them, yeah equally,
I'm like that's cool, but you're gonna die and I'm
okay with it, even they're splitting lanes and stuff. It's
(03:18):
that risk reward that most of life is. We're just like, right,
what's the consequences. You're like, I'm gonna get there thirty
minutes early, but I could die, right, Yeah, I'm gonna
have fun doing it. But if I don't have fun,
I might be dead. It just takes one stone or
jam and too hard to modest Yahoo to not notice
you swipe you yes and good night you. It's impressive though, Uh,
(03:42):
it is kind of impressive. That's why I said I
hate respect it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the
I think that right, Yeah, that is I'm not smared
too scared. God gives to live for that is the
yea the children thing now, m kids, see this is
this where you sucked up. I'm about to buy my
motorcycle now. Like. The thing they say about motorcycles is
(04:06):
that our brain like sometimes doesn't register them because our
brain is just like the way it's built. When we're
out driving, we're just looking for car shaped things that
are moving like cars, and so people will just drive
like it's not there. And I feel like motorcycles like
good motorcyclists recognize that and like drive defensively about it,
(04:26):
and then bad motorcyclists are like, I'm gonna take advantage
of that. They don't see me, like I'm behind you,
now I'm in front of you. I mean, all it
takes is you one time to almost kill a motorcyclist
to forever be afraid of killing one another motorcyclist as
a as a driver. Oh, in San Francisco, it's insane.
They're everywhere and those heels and everything. You're like, what happens?
Will you get hit? Sometimes that's what all of them say.
(04:49):
Sometimes you get hit. What's something people think is true?
You know to be false. So I had a couple
of ideas for this, and uh, like the netfl X
model is unsustainable, and now he's like, don't do that.
Do something fun. So the myth that I'm going to
dispel is the Netflix model is Uh, mozzarella sticks are
(05:14):
bad for you. That's the myth, and I'm gonna say no,
they're great for you. Follow the logic on this. Have
you guys ever been in a high stress situation? Yes?
Every day? Okay, And how does your body feel in
that high stress situation? I don't know. I never felt
different from the womb to the two. So have you
(05:35):
ever been in a more stressful situation? Yes? How does
your body feel that very very tight? Yes? Okay, okay,
So uh a while ago, now, I mean I were
in a working on a project that was we're working
with some terrible people. This is like, okay, we're I
don't know why we decided to sell a TV show
(05:56):
to the coach. We're writing scripts for Preger University videos.
But it was all about how frack it was there.
It was about a fracking team and how they're saving
the world and like discovered there's like a whole underground civilization. Hell,
(06:18):
it was right there in front of us the whole time. Um.
So it was about six years ago now, uh and
um I got um chest pains from this. Naomi got
an ulcer from this. This thing. It was really it
was not It was not good. We're under so much
stress and um what was what was the bright spot
in our lives? Why the food? We would ye? So
(06:42):
now I say this, when you were in a high
stress situation, why don't need a Motz realistic? Yeah? Ok?
From where from where? From where? From where? Though? Are
we well, where are we now in Los Angeles? I mean, like,
but I'm just saying that that, like I can't dictate
wherever you are. We're the best monz realistic I want
to get. Well, that was New York and I don't
know exactly call it out here. How suppies surprisingly the
(07:03):
best Mozarelli stick I've had a lot of us. Cosablona
comes in second because they have a smoky mozarellistick, but
it's not but it's like homemade. It's delicious, but it's
when you want, like a Mozzarelli stick, flower shell, deliciously fried.
How Sa pies. Nothing else on the Mendi was great,
but their mozarellisis how spies. You know. That's what I
(07:24):
think most doctors say. If you're having chest pains, have
some Mozo realistic. I think, what's going on when people
people talk about my arm, but I should have these
Maza realistics with the other one. When people talk about
the placebo effect, they picture like sugar pills only, but
I do feel, you know, the placebo effect basically means
how you think you feel. It is like how your
(07:48):
body is actually going to you know, behave and medically exists,
and I feel like, you know, eating comfort food sometimes
is oh hell yeah healthy. There's nothing that man, I
know outlue what you mean stress eating and I won't
go hand in hand, yeah, and also knowing there are
certain things that you eat that make you feel really good.
I love a French dip sandwich. That's just that's just
(08:11):
how I self medicaid with food with French dip. That
seems yeah. Well, I mean like you have philips you
can get you know, there's a way to make it
yourself where you get the little packet and uh just
make a weird one on your stove, not that great French,
right am I? Right? Well, you know when you you'll
(08:31):
see my ex massage, security guards beat the ship out
of you if you try to get I was wondering
if authenticity is becoming less of a thing in in
like modern hip hop and just modern culture in general,
because we have like YouTube stars who are like the
Paul Brothers, who are just like bad. They're just caricature
(08:55):
w a caricatures of like something but like not actually
believe probably authentic in any way. Right well, but then
I think, but but really, the artists that do really
well are the actual artists who are really like, this
is me, this is what I'm doing, this is how
I'm choosing to express myself, no matter what the genres,
because I think there's a sincerity about someone really expressing
(09:17):
themselves truly that no matter what the beats are, the lyrics,
or the package, it just it just connects with people
on a deeper level. You know. I think that authenticity
is a term that's thrown around a lot these days,
and and and I and look, I think that I
am very authentic. I think I have a very authentic voice.
(09:37):
I think that my memoir is very authentic, and anything
that I do is authentic. Um So, if people are
going to be storytellers and the claim is that they
are telling their own story right as opposed to writing fiction,
then I want authenticity. And I think that m c
(09:58):
s would probably consider of themselves storytellers. I think the
best of them are. And here in I also want authenticity.
I think That's why I think I'm having an issue
with saying, Okay, you know, I'm down with this, or
I do that, or you know, going back to the
guys I was telling you about in the industry, who
you know suddenly acted like they were, you know, so
(10:19):
so down. I mean to me, one of the most
beautiful manifestations of authenticity and hip hop was Redman's episode
of Cribs. You know this is you know for that
show MTV Cribs. They used to rent houses for the rappers,
they used to rent cars for the rappers. So that's
(10:43):
the furthest thing from authenticity, right, that's the opposite. And
he's so disrupted that he completely subverted that most what's right,
right because right because exactly here, here's the here's the
box on top of them, here's a cereal box on
top of my fridges has the dollar bills, right, And
I think that's also speaks very much to his talent
and his confidence and knowing there's nothing that I could
(11:04):
do or show you that's going to ever shake who
I am as Red Man. And so the notion that
there is a show based on luxury, on aspirational living
and it's all about consumerism, that too, is kind of
offensive to me. I never fucking watched that show. I
never watched I never watched Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
(11:25):
I never watched any of those things that shoved in
my face. Wouldn't your life be amazing if it was this,
because those are not the things that define happiness external,
that's right, They're completely external. And look, I would love
a nice, big fat crib. I'd love to fucking fly
private and all that. I would love that, but that's
not I'm not on the paper chase. So the fact
(11:47):
that there there there was so much programming. I don't
know if there's anymore. I don't really watch television like that.
But the fact that there was so much programming around,
um wanting to be wealthy and live in luxury, I
think is kind of gross to the point that you
fake it again. It's fake it, right, rent this house
(12:07):
with which house do you want? I want the one
with the fucking big gass, you know. I want the
one with the big gass aquarium. And it's got to
have the ye, I don't know, obscene aquarium. Okay, Well, yeah,
just all of those markers of success which are firmly
based in capitalism, absolutely right, which kind of goes back
to the conversation about billionaires like capital and capitalism. My
(12:30):
girlfriend Trevial lindsay, it's a capitalism makes us ship hard,
so it makes it hard you know, it's it just
it just necessarily, if you think about it, it it necessarily
compromises everything we do. I own a home, right, Yeah, Well,
and I think it's funny too, as you say, like
(12:51):
they need to sell a mirage of aspirational wealth and
things like that, because to to really inoculate people or
get people to buy into that thinking is the precisely
kinds of ship you see in the form of like centrism,
where really evaluating what the issues are and if there
is a class of wealth in this country that is
actually working against everything and a lot of systemic issues
(13:13):
are coming from this mentality of like consume, consolidates, gather
as much as possible to the detriment of others. You Like,
that's sort of how these programs function because it's sort
of like this thing in the back of your mind.
It's like why don't should I be Should I be
mad at millionaires? Because like what if I'm a millionaire?
You know, like that would be sick. So maybe I
should go easy on them because that could be me,
(13:33):
you know what I mean, Like there's that suddenly works
on your subconscious because for me, as a fucking what
fourteen year old probably watching cribs at the time fifteen,
I was fully fully I'm sure you found a completely
I went to the back of the Source magazine and
ordered fake canary yellow diamond areas and ship. I wanted
to fucking show out because in my mind that really
(13:57):
was I had a very one dimensional idea of what
success or happiness as do most of that. Absolutely, but
that's but again, that's where we live. We live in America,
right right. I love fancy things. I wear a Gucci hat,
I buy product shoes. You know, I I absolutely am
part of this system. There's no doubt in my mind.
(14:18):
You know. The other thing I think about you guys
in terms of authenticity is that you know, I came
up in an erraw where there was no social media, righty,
And so I think about I think, is it safe
to say that Instagram is probably the most robust platform
for artists more definitely more so than Twitter and Facebook. Yeah. Yeah,
it depends on where you Yeah Instagram for sure. Right.
(14:39):
So let's say I have one, two, three, ten million followers,
and it's all about pictures. So it's all about what
I wear, where I live, what I drive, whom I'm fucking,
what I'm eating what I'm drinking. I mean, I cannot imagine,
you guys, the how onerous it is to sustain this
(15:05):
big willie. Back in the day, we used to say
big Willie, this big willy lifestyle, you know. I mean,
you know, so what if you walk down the street
and you just want to like, you're not wearing whatever
the fuck or whatever the brands are, whatever the sneakers are,
and stuff like that. You know, I never I never
want to be in a position where I'm going to
(15:26):
be I take uber pools. I'm a fucking immigrant. When
I look at the four dollar price difference, I'm like,
I could afford the four dollars, but I can't prostitutionally.
As an immigrant, I can't tell a voice in your yeah,
my mother, Yeah, it's my mother going, why don't you
take the subway? Right? And I'm like, I'm treating myself
to a pool. But just the notion of, you know,
(15:47):
going back to authenticity, a lot of that too, I
think is not necessarily authentic because I think a lot
of the artists out there are spending their money on
these things that present a lifestyle. But then, do you
own a home, right, do you have a trust for
your children, right, where is your money parked? Right? So
(16:10):
you might not, you might not go into the stock
market or whatever, but is it somewhere Because some of
these guys, millions of dollars will go through their hands
and leave their hands. And that's okay. Look, if I
was a nineteen year old kid, I'd spend the ship
out of my money. I would be. I would be,
I would be off the chains, I would be all
the rails. I would be foolish. Right. But the notion
(16:32):
that I now, oh, fuck you guys, I gotta post.
Hang on, I gotta go buy these shoes. Hang on,
I gotta go do that. I gotta go do that.
That's a lot. I gotta pose by this like villa. Yeah,
I've got to be in a G five. I perform
at my friends from TV or also my friends in reality. Yeah.
Well yeah, And I think that's sort of That's why
(16:53):
I think the Instagram is that it's the perfect sales
tool because it sells people on seemingly authentic versions of life.
Because people it's like, well a person posted that not
person with a stylist sucking whole marketing plant, and lightning
was yeah, who has someone probably editing the photo itself,
so it probably has deals going with brands to figure
(17:14):
out like okay, well here's the deal. We'll get you
to this location and then do subtle things and that
kind of helps, you know, create this thing of longing
through your your phone screen. Yeah, and it's even worse
for women, right right, So okay, take that picture, but
get rid of all my age spots, you guys, get
rid of the bags under my eyes and get rid
of the wrinkles and everything. And I'm going to get
surgery and I'm going to do all this and I'm gonna,
(17:36):
you know, my tids are gonna be bigger, and my
waist is going to be smaller, my ass is going
to be bigger. And no shade to anybody that does this,
I'm That's not what I'm saying. But we are living
in a time where there where we can actually buy
a certain kind of beauty. Right, So if we if
we have the means, and we're all going towards frankly,
(17:59):
what I think is a very a narrow right the
definition of beauty. Well, first of all, we're gonna become
more homogeneous, which I never like, right, And then what
does it mean for me raising a daughter who was
a yellow girl again in a white world, right, who
does not fit into this paradigm of beauty. How do
I tell her if she says to me, and she
(18:21):
never would, but if she said to me, Mommy, I
want to get this job or that job or whatever,
you know, the things that we have to battle, and
so to be a famous woman too, Like nobody gives
a funk what a man eats. Okay, nobody gives a fuck.
But if somebody sees an actress, let's say she's a
thin actress and she's eating a cheeseburger, Like, what that's
a fucking story. Now, who she's brave? Yeah, right, exactly,
(18:45):
She's brave for eating what she wants human beings. Yeah, yeah,
ah man, it's uh yeah. And I think also, like
growing up in l Amen, I've I see how quickly
people's ship gets poisoned by this like performative. I've heard
that too, like wealth ship, and it's yeah, it's and
the beauty right, like if I'm going to go out
and I'm going to be on the red car, but
(19:07):
you know what, Sophia is not quite pretty. You know what,
I think I have to upgrade from Sophia, right right, right,
I've got to get somebody who's younger and thinner. Yes,
And yeah, they're like, oh, well, like I can't pull
up to a party with you because you're college to
that's right. And I can't pull up in this car either, yeah, exactly,
Like okay, what you can park your prelude around the corner, right, Yeah,
we'll act like our limo broke down. Okay, that goes
(19:32):
mom the city bike in New York. Yeah, and I
take gouberpools there you go. I mean, but that's the thing, like, right,
I think it's about people being able to realign what
makes them happy or redefine what makes them happy. I
think because we have because consumer culture makes us think
when I attain X, then I will be happy. That's
not I will be happy. Right, then I can attain whatever,
(19:52):
and and those things have to be the gravy, not
the meat. Right, Like my X and I talked about
this in my memoir is a three four generation Joleon Monk.
And when we started seeing each other, I you know completely.
I was a stylist and he started wearing product sport
and stuff like that, and he looked really great, and
I remember people looking askance at him and they're like, oh,
(20:12):
I didn't know that Buddhist monks could wear a product
like you know what sucker they call me, because it's
not about it's not about him wearing the product. It's
about him being attached to it. And he would never
be attached right right, right right, he fucking slept on
a concrete floor for like, I don't think he's going
to care if he can't wear a fucking product jacket tomorrow.
It's like not having running water will kind of that
(20:35):
exactly exactly the notion. It's not about having it for me,
it's about I have to actively exercise not being attached
to it. And I think that what's really really important
for us spiritually and just for our soul and our
our internal happiness is to not let the external world
define it. Am I happy if I buy a new
(20:57):
pair of shoes, Sure I am. But does that to
find my happiness or define me? Of course it does,
because if if the shoes are taken away and it
sucks you up, then right, that's exactly what happens. It's
the same thing with praise, right of getting too attached
to people's praise it's like, yes, that can feel good,
but if that becomes your be all, end all, what
do you do when that you no longer hear that
(21:19):
from It's like it's a good reminder, but I don't
need that. I don't feed off. That's not my fucking oxygen.
You have to have your your internal barometer and your
internal compass have to be so fucking solid. And then
all of it is like you take it and it
comes and it goes and it's fine, smooth like water baby.
(21:40):
Yeah exactly. It's like Bruce Lee, you like water, my friend.
All Right, we're gonna take a quick break and we're back.
Let's talk about Lebron James. Uh. This this upset me
(22:01):
more than I more than it should have, more than
I cared to admit. Yeah. Um So, look, the n
B a uh and pretty much any company doing business
with China that's an American based company is going through
a bit of a time now where people have to
be like, should we talk out loud in favor of
people who are being oppressed by this autocratic regime? I
(22:22):
don't know, order like money better. And the NBA saga
unfolded when Darryl Moria from the Rockets tweeted out an
image and solidarity of the Hong Kong protests and then
fired dude cause a cause of massive profits fire like
Leaning Sports, where ended their deal with the Rockets ten
Cent like every company a lot of companies are doing
(22:43):
business with the NBA, or like, we're done. Harden and
Russell Westbrooke in the immediate aftermath were like, we love
China is actually really tight to me fans, They're super
tight author communism slash capitalism, so sick though whatever, I
guess I'm more I was more willing to forgive that
because it was the day after and they were clearly
(23:04):
like had a gun to their head, whereas this is like, yeah, well,
I think week and a half later, Lebron James he
has to say so. I'm sure he was probably asked,
I'm sure that's how it all happened, and his answer anyway,
he just has this quote he said, I don't want
to get into a verbal feud with Daryl Morey, but
I believe he wasn't educated on the situation at hand,
and he spoke, and he spoke, uh, and so many
(23:27):
people could have been harmed, not only financially physically emotionally, spiritually,
So just be careful what we tweet and say, and
we do even though yes, we do have freedom of speech,
but there can be a lot of negative that comes
with that too. I mean, unless we play in China,
than we don't. Right, I'm just what what was? What? What?
(23:48):
What is he? I don't understand that he he he
wasn't educated on the situation. What is he misinformed by?
I was confused? What? What? What did le Bron James
think that dare almore? He didn't know when he tweeted
support for the people in Hong Kong who are being
like riot policed to I think I don't know the
(24:10):
cinecals and the whole like the law, like what was
going on with the is an extradition? I forget the
exactly Like what the reason why rendition? I think? Yeah?
I think really what it says the translation might be
talking about China can funk up everyone's money. We aren't
willing to confront their transgressions because it would risk our revenues,
(24:32):
so we have chosen to ignore this because money is
more important. Yeah, I think is what he meant, right, See, guys,
it's a class war. No, but but again, you know,
and it's a very odd It was a weird thing
to say, and I can only imagine the league's biggest
star probably has to send up a flare to Chinese
(24:53):
business interests to say like, I am still in line
with whatever y'all are trying to But even the NBA,
after they initially issued a statement that was like kind
of the in this direction, that was sort of like, well,
you know, there's multiple sides to everything. Uh, Adam Silver
came out and was, you know, said made a statement
(25:16):
that was definitely picking the side of you know, freedom
of speech and pissing China off. So like it's not
like Adam Silver was behind him being like say this
or or else. Yeah, No, it was all about not
fucking up his money. It's like he's about progressive values
until it becomes unconfident. It's a little Yeah, it's a
(25:38):
little sad to see because on one hand, I I
can understand privately if he's what he's saying is to
someone else who goes man, Darrell should have known. He's like,
we've we're in bed with China. That's like a third
rail topic, like you only talk about the business and
that don't talk about anything about what their government does
or anything to do with their domestic reform. You can
talk about the meg another international co production and how
(26:01):
and how sick Leaning footwear is. But like, that's where
I wish you would have just not said anything at all,
because I can stomach him just being, you know, about
his money and not really trying to act like he's
some kind of savior type person. But it's drawn a
lot of criticism. Him saying this has drawn a lot
of krypt Muhammad Ali's wife was like, Muhammad Ali wouldn't
(26:22):
have done that, and he wouldn't have. No, he wouldn't have.
But I I do think it's sometimes important to remember,
like you you shouldn't have your hopes like pinned on.
Like I don't watch athlete interviews after the game for
a reason, like they are always boring as fuck, and
like I like they don't have interesting performances. Thank God,
(26:44):
I want to thank Leaning sportswear. Jesus. I want to
thank I'm sorry I mispoke, not Jesus jimping. She's in
Christ Yeah, but Ali Kaepernick, Uh, Like you can't you
can't really count that many athletes who were like important,
you know, O J. Simpson on Twitter. Uh, sorry, obviously
(27:10):
you know the great What did O J say? Oh
my god, he's just much He's incredible. Love China make
some great knives, right, Well, I think that's the whole deal,
right as certain people in your activism, if you're really
about your activism, you will follow that path wherever leads
you for the faint of heart. And I think that's
(27:30):
what we see is at the end of the day,
Lebron James is a capitalist. That's his prerogative. I mean,
this is what Michael Jordan's probably would have done or said, Yeah,
he would have been protesters exactly. I mean, is that
your Michael Jordan impression? No, we just not. I don't.
I don't think there's a way to properly do Michael Jordan's.
But but he did say sound like kids. Yeah, he's
(27:52):
he's not a very kind guy. But like you know,
for example, you know Ennis Cantor, who's a Turkish player.
He tweeted out basically after came out, he said, have
so anyway and his Cantor is basically cannot go back
to Turkey dead. Yeah, And and and his Cantor has been
outspoken and a very big critic of Ara to Wan
and so that comes with consequences, and he tweeted, haven't
(28:15):
seen or talked to my family five years, jailed my dad,
my siblings can't find jobs, revoked my passport, international arrest warrant,
my family can't leave the country. Got death threats every day,
got attacked, harassed, tried to kidnap me. In Indonesia, freedom
is not free. And I think that sort of realigning
the stakes for people here. It's like this isn't just
(28:37):
some It's not just like is the is it? Did it?
Was it? Yanni or Laurel. It's like here, it's not like,
oh yeah, I'm either cool with this or no, actually
this is actually and I cannot abide by this. It
just depends on your point of view. And again should
have taken other people's point of views into account. Take
the middle road like most people and just don't say
(28:58):
anything at all, you know, but if you're going to don't,
don't don't speak speak on the right side please. Um.
By the way, has anyone ever done an arid Juan
slash and one mash up? Because I would that. Yeah,
I mean, his crossover was masked. I saw him fucking
(29:20):
spin hot sauce in half. It was incredible. What is
a myth? What's something people think is true? You know
to be false that Asian men aren't sexy? Okay, okay,
I don't have a problem if you have a preference.
I totally get that. We all we all have preferences.
But when people make the blanket statements that's right, Come on, everybody,
(29:44):
nobody finds Asian sexy. Um, I want to slap the
ship out because you are effectively erasing a whole gender,
of a whole race. And I've been thinking about this
a lot, you guys, in terms of my memoir, visibility
(30:05):
and eraser and black women too erased, me, too erased, right,
and how we actively have to ourselves und erase ourselves
and give ourselves the visibility, which isn't fair. We shouldn't
have to do that, we should just have it right,
but we don't, so we have to fight for that.
(30:27):
So you know the notion, I mean, the father of
my two children is a thirty four generation Shallon monk
who could kill you with his bare hands in thirty seconds.
But there are a myriad other incredibly sexy man Bruce Lee,
god reciscal Chean Fat, Tony Long, I mean, Jake CHOI.
It's just to the way that the West has systematically
(30:50):
emasculated and castrated my brothers while simultaneously exoticizing, eroticizing, and
fetishizing me. Isn't fury? Yeah, um, you fell in love
with Chian Fat because who um? So I grew up
(31:11):
yellow in a white world and yellow wanting to be
white in a white world. And then I heard hip
hop that I moved to New York and then I
then I meet Wu Tang and you know they're talking
about you know, you know there's that great skin on
thirty six Chambers where Ray is saying, you know, meth,
where's my killer tape? Where's my killer tape? And and
I was like, Okay, you know what, I'm gonna pay
attention to this because they were so deeply respectful of
(31:35):
Asian culture in general. But they loved John Woo. So
I watched The Killer, and I watched Hard Boiled, and
I went down the John rabbit hole and I watched
all of his movies. I still have the laser discs.
I watched all of his movies. Still. I actually still
have a way to google it. Um, I've I don't
know how many times I've seen The Killer, Um, I don't.
It's my favorite movie all time, of all time. Chian
(31:56):
Fat is his muse in the same way that DeNiro
um of course, as he's mused. And to me, John
Woo was the greatest director of all time and Giant
Fad is the greatest actor of all time. And I
think that what Asian action movies managed to do that
I don't know that Western ones are able to do
is infuse philosophy. And maybe that comes from the martial
(32:20):
arts tradition, right, because in the martial arts movies, you
have action, but you always have philosophy, whether it's Buddhism
or Taoism or you know, a form of Confucianism. And
so a perfect example, I'll tell you there's a movie
called It Departed, right, and it was huge at one
the Academy Award that year. Um. That movie was a
(32:41):
remake of a Hong Kong movie called Infernal Affairs, and
it was directed by Andy Law. I believe now, if
you watch The Departed, it was my favorite movie of
that year. If you watch The Departed and then you
watch Infernal Affairs, you can see that The Departed had
to have a Hollywood andy right in a way that
(33:01):
Infernal Affairs did not feel beholden to, making you know
it's going to be right, the bad guy's going to
get it, and the conflict and there were great actors
in the department and it's going to He's an amazing director.
But the conflict that was demonstrated in Infernal Affairs was
made that movie so much more touching and compelling, emotionally
(33:27):
compelling for me. Does it end with a rat coming
in and winking at the camera. That should be the
alternate flip your laser disc over. Alright, guys, we have
to get to the story of Robert Downey Jr's return
(33:49):
to the big screen silver screen Tempole post COMMI Robert
Downey Jr. Is do it all just like Joker, So
this is like Joker. It's equally anticipated. Also won the
award for Top Film at the Venice Film Festival when
(34:11):
it premiered there, Yeah do little uh sobbing in the audience.
So this movie, I think technically is the opposite of
those attributes, and that it was set for to be
released last spring and has instead been held for January,
which is generally like studio dumping ground where they just
(34:34):
all the I mean it's a kids movie, right, So
I don't know that like a kids movie. I mean
it is a kids movie because Dr Doolittle lives in
an enchanted castle where he has a toy train running
through it for some reason. Uh like a weird Fao
schwartz in mushroom. Yeah, like toys the Robin Williams movie.
Love it, but it's so what One sign that we're
(34:59):
in on shaky ground is that Robert Downey Junior, in
order to keep himself focused, attempted a Welsh accent. Yeah.
I don't know what that was. She literally said, he's
doing it as a fun challenge for himself. A Welsh accent.
So it is Christian Bale's accent, which if you've ever
(35:22):
listened to Christian Bale in interviews, sometimes he sounds like
he has an accent, sometimes he doesn't. It's like, why
does Christian Bale have a fake accent? He doesn't. He
has a Welsh accent, which even Welsh people are like,
it's really a weird accent, or depending on where you are,
just differ. I mean, Katherine Zeta Jones is also Welsh,
and you're like, I it's like vaguely English but so
(35:44):
like Madonna. Yeah, like Lindsay Lohan. Like the other time
that somebody tried to do a really difficult accent. Leonardo
DiCaprio did a South African accent in Blood Diamond, and
everyone's like, it's the worst accent work ever. But then
South some South African people were like, no, it's actually
really good, but we just have a weird accent that like,
(36:06):
on some words, it sounds like you forgot to do
the accent, and in other words it sounds like you
have a thick act. I remember my first trumpet teacher
when I was taking lessons as a kid, who like
worked at my school. His wife was South African, and
when she spoke, I was like, as a kid, I
didn't know what the accent was, and I thought, I
was like, it sounds like she's from Texas mixed with England.
Is what my first description of the South African action. Yeah, anyways,
(36:28):
this movie is it's fucking I don't know, it's garbage.
It looks like absolute trash. The trade looks like absolute trash.
It's not for you, it's for children, okay, but it's
very serious that it has a very serious vibe to it,
Like it starts with like really dramatic, like sweeping shots
and dramatic Louis Armstrong. It's a wonderful world, is not.
(36:52):
That's when he's going to be terrible, that my terrible
attempts who smooth? But it's not that it's and it's
a normal presentation. It is the like echo e version
where like like the Facebook movie whatever that was called
(37:13):
Social Network, right right right right? Uh, you know, I
just there were so many things in it that were
very odd. I just, for whatever reason, I just can't
stand the polar bearer wearing a nit cap. Why. I
don't know, Come, are you guys angry? That includes animals
that will be extinct within our lifetime? Here's what about?
(37:35):
It cost a hundred and seventy five million dollars to make. Jesus,
they spent a Marvel movies worth of budget on this movie.
It's like, you guys don't live in Los Angeles. Yeah,
it's made by the guy who wrote and directed Syriana
wrote Traffic? Are you serious? And he had to be
(37:58):
replaced halfway through because of Cprently he was The animals
were attacking doctor Doolittle, killing him. I hear David Simon
wrote the original script. Yeah, the a lot of the imagery.
I mean, it's one of those things. It's a hard
needle to thread with Doctor Doolittle movies, I feel like,
because it has to almost be fully cartoonish so for
it to not like sort of start veering into the absolutely.
(38:21):
I think that's what we're responding to is it's like
if you made Flipper a dramatic, dramatic film, where like
Flipper was a trained assassin. Like, that's what this trailer
feels like. Imagine Red Sparrow mixed with Flipper exactly, it's
just red tie. That's actually. I mean the there was
a time when the CIA was trying to do that.
(38:43):
Not the CIA. It was like some Russian or intelligence
there was some intelligence agent that was trying to train
dolphins to do think the Germans. I think everybody was
basically like, I don't know, fucking get these sea dogs.
We have billions of dollars, we might as well do
whatever what the funk we want. They tried to do
it with cats. It was called Operation Acoustic Kitty, and
it did not go well, are you serious like to
(39:04):
do what? It was something I think they were bomb
like bomb carrying cats. But are the reason the the no, No,
there were cats spies. They were cats with recording devices,
got it, And that's why I was acoustic kitty. And uh,
there's a reason that hurting cats is something that's a
(39:27):
saying for something that's impossible. Well, I mean they should
have just got doctor Doolittle because he could have just
had the cats back and say what did you hear?
Oh my god, there's your gritty remake of doing where
he's trained. He's getting animals to right, right right. That
would actually be interesting to see Doolittle in the modern world.
But this is just like Doolittle in Pirate Pirates of
(39:48):
the Caribbeans, like vaguely vaguely Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah,
that would be great, like like a series of Homeland
type but little Doolittle, Yes, right, thank you. What's the
me is that the inconclusive? Yes, this is the second
winner of a movie idea that we've come up with
(40:09):
in the past three episodes. It's a free punch up. Yeah,
the Nightmare on Elm Street, but it's people who get
too high is the other their panic brings on Freddy
Krueger to freak them up. So it's like how high plus? Yeah? Yeah?
Too high? Yeah? How high? All right, We're gonna take
(40:30):
another quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back. Well,
as much as I'd like to continue discussing the only
news story we should care about, the impending doom of
(40:51):
our earth, it's time we talk about the fact that
people could be putting weed in your kids halloween candy.
Happy Halloween. The Johnstown Police Department in Pennsylvania are back
at it again. In my mind, I believe we've talked
about this department before when they were asking people to
(41:12):
volunteer get drunk for a study. But either way, they
just viral stunts. I don't know, could you have? That's
probably where we're headed at least department doing viral content.
I don't know what they get out of it, but
like the well, if the social media the head of
social media for their police department is like you, gets promoted,
(41:33):
a few viral stunts are like proposal videos can paper
over a shooting? Yeah, like, well what about that white
what about the white cop that you know hit them
folks at that barbecue? You know what I mean? The
dance not literally hitting somebody the dance move. You've never
seen an undercover mille rock. Yeah, hious? And they kiss
a dog, not they just shot a woman fucking in
(41:54):
her own home in Fort Worth through a fucking window.
But upload that video of the police are doing the
Harlem shake, right, we forgot to be fair. I do
think that cops don't have problems going virall right now,
just not for the reasons they would probably like, Yeah,
I mean maybe that's the idea. Is that there? Thank you?
That's a straight up for you the yeah may I
(42:19):
I could totally see the meeting where they come up
with that strategy of like, we got to combat all
this negative social media publicity that we're getting out there.
Come on, pitch me ideas, guys. Cops can be fun, Yeah,
can be fun. This cop was a former break dancer.
I would that people need to remember that we are
out there protecting their children. What's the story that we
(42:40):
could tell about that? Oh what about that child that
was shot because they thought he had a gun? Not
that the Remember how we used to be afraid that
people would put razor blades in our candy boom? Yeah,
here we go there, How would that even work? Okay?
Bite into a candy bar well, because I think I
think you you push the razorblade into the flesh of
(43:02):
the apple and then the caramel app the caramel covers
over the actual Also just like candy bars with my
teeth the most impervious that my mouth bones, right if
you took a full on bite though, and there was
a razorblade and will cut your mouth. It's just not
(43:22):
the most efficient way to do harm via Halloween um on.
This apparently is according to the Johnstown Police Department. They
have this whole Facebook post says attention, the Johnstown Police
would like to draw extra attention to the nerds rope
edibles containing four milligrams of thhc are so good. I
know one fucking movie candy um foundering a search warrant
(43:48):
in Stony Creek. It says, Okay, during this Halloween, we
urge parents to be ever vigilant and checking their children's
candy before allowing them to consume those treats. Drug laced
edibles are package like regular candy and maybe hard to
distinguished from real candy. Okay, now it looks like maybe
if you're just like the dude who's making your own
wild edibles you sell them like this to avoid detection
from the police, not because you have a scheme where
(44:10):
you're throwing thousands of dollars away to play a sick
ass prank from the kids of this town. I want
to bankrupt myself by getting a bunch of six year
old ties use of my money, give away all of
the weed that I bought to sell kids to make
their Halloween extra spooks. I mean, you should obviously check
(44:31):
your kids candy. I think that's that's all fair, But
I don't know if this is like they're like, what
where Kiva mints? Are those for kids? I mean, I'll
personally be giving away jewel pods at my house for
this trigger yeah hell yeah, yeah, dude, I just want
to be cool with the kids. For me, it's to
be cool, you know what. I mean that some Fortnite stuff,
(44:54):
But in the long run, it might be just as
bad as putting razor blades in an Apple fiber glass
truth campaign. Dang, yeah, you're giving a fucking jarum clove cigarettes?
Yeah do that? Wait? What did those really like? What
did those do? I mean, hadn't taste delicious? I remember
(45:14):
the myth was that they like they were like fiberglass fibers,
because that's why they hit so smooth. Dude. Oh yeah,
that was like, that's why they hit so smooth because
the fiberglass is four khc a strong edible like a lot.
That's yes, Danial is headbanging and that is too much
(45:37):
kids to one day elementary school age. You're on Halloween
because it is like spooky, you do like maybe fifteen
twenty to go to sleep nice. I don't know if
they I mean, I don't think they found a lethal
dose of thhc that there's such a thing. I don't know.
I think I found mine. And like most of in
(46:00):
this I pick theater. I'm right now. I'm in my
afterlife a dream. This makes sense. Perjury, Yeah, you're like anxiety.
Your anxiety attack can kill you Freddy Krueger style, like
just because you believe you're dead. Yes, that's what Freddy
(46:22):
Krueger was happening. That's really good idea. Freddy Kruger attacks
people are too high. It's my nightmare. It's like you
do this every time one CBD drink. I don't know,
(46:50):
but it's something from your search history that's regaling about
who you are today. I was reading with a friend
of mine today and I could not remember the answer
to this, so I was googling a queen quean who
fucked horses? Yes, you talked about the Great? Yeah, I
made it Catherine the Great reference. Yeah, and that name
(47:13):
came to my mind much easier than it should have.
So I think we were like pulling the same and
it all happened when we were riffing about like hot posters.
We would have had his kids. I'm like, anybody have
a daisy flints? And then I went back like Twinky, Wait,
does she have a sex withal horse? Now? That's just
(47:33):
like Napoleon. The worst they could come up with about
him was that he was short, right now, that's stuck.
And that's how the Great Katherine the Great, which is
a little uneven. Yeah, yeah, I've seen that video with
Kenny Pinion. Yeah, but it's just like that's that's how
sensitive men are. Yeah, just like, yeah, one thing we
(47:55):
know will piss him off is if you ignore that
he is of average. Yeah, exactly. This is when Mike
Tyson wants a high seat. Yeah, all right, that's gonna
(48:18):
do it. For this week's weekly Zeite, guys, please like
and review the show. If you like the show, uh
means the world to Miles. He needs your validation. Folks.
I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
talk to you Monday. By S.
