4:22
Going good.
4:23
Happy Tuesday.
4:26
I know that.
4:26
I know that voice.
4:29
It was that day for you, too.
4:31
Yeah.
4:35
See, a good captain always knows his crew.
4:40
Oh, Lord.
4:42
What's going on now?
4:45
Hey, man, what's going on?
4:46
Hi, Christie.
4:47
Christie's in the house as well.
4:48
I'm waiting on.
4:49
I'm waiting on Bama.
4:50
He'll pop in here any.
4:53
Any moment now.
4:56
Tripped over the cat.
5:03
Oh, my.
5:05
Yeah, look, I've tripped over my dog a couple times, so.
5:07
I know.
5:10
There he is.
5:10
There it is.
5:16
So, yeah, it.
5:17
It has.
5:17
It's been a week.
5:18
It's been.
5:19
It's been eight and a half months.
5:20
That's what it's been.
5:24
It's been an eight and a half months.
5:27
Help.
5:31
Oh, Lord.
5:33
But how was your day, Captain?
5:35
I don't think we ever asked you how you.
5:37
You know what it was.
5:38
It was busy.
5:40
It's a busy day for me, like, since.
5:42
Since I had to make a move still in the hospital, but since I had to make a move to a different area where I'm not as secluded, which I prefer, but.
5:56
Yeah, but.
5:57
But at the same time, for the past couple weeks, they.
6:00
I haven't been bothered.
6:03
You know, as.
6:04
As my superior said, she's like, oh, they're not gonna bother you much.
6:06
And I said, oh, they might.
6:07
But turns out they really don't come and go do what I gotta do.
6:12
I only got to answer to one person and.
6:14
And promises kept.
6:15
So far.
6:17
So far.
6:17
Yeah, so so far.
6:19
But other than.
6:19
Other than that, just physically tired.
6:24
Running around tired.
6:26
Tis.
6:26
Tis.
6:27
Tis A thing.
6:27
Tis going round more so than to.
6:32
It feels like pretty soon we can't just mind our business.
6:36
We have to do a little something unfortunate.
6:42
Our queen of horrors in the building.
6:44
Kick my heart.
6:46
I think she's hope.
6:48
Look, I did.
6:50
I didn't get to cash catch your stream, but since I'm already.
6:54
I'm already in the group chat and it was Silent Hill, and I'm like, yeah, I don't need no parts of that.
7:00
Lady is.
7:01
No.
7:02
It's no joke.
7:03
It's.
7:04
It's no joke.
7:05
I got it.
7:06
I got a tip for you.
7:08
Pause.
7:10
Somebody said.
7:12
Somebody said.
7:13
Or I was watching somebody else's stream.
7:15
Do you know that when you do a perfect dodge, your stamina refills.
7:22
I didn't know that.
7:23
And the thing is, also when you do a perfect job.
7:26
I mean a perfect job.
7:30
I mean that too.
7:30
The time.
7:31
The time slows down.
7:33
But you don't either.
7:36
That's what's weird.
7:37
So the times that I have done a perfect dodge, I'm wailing and I'm thinking I'm slowing down, but I'm not.
7:45
And it's.
7:45
And it's also by complete accident when I do a perfect dodge.
7:49
Like, it's.
7:53
Yeah.
7:53
Practice.
7:54
Practice.
7:54
Practice is what it sounds like.
7:56
That's.
7:56
That's what it sounds like.
7:57
That's what it sounds like.
7:58
And it sounds like I need to do a lot more dodging because it's not gonna get easier.
8:04
No.
8:07
Oh, honey.
8:08
Oh, honey.
8:09
I only watch a little bit more than what where I am.
8:12
Like, I.
8:13
I go back and watch streamers up to the point that I'm at.
8:17
Like, once I do it, then I go back and see if I missed anything or whatever.
8:20
I actually went a little bit above.
8:22
I was like, oh, oh.
8:25
Yeah.
8:27
I'll be so scared.
8:29
Yeah.
8:30
And Chrissy is right.
8:32
Yeah.
8:33
You have to burn safe to watch Silent Hill.
8:35
Yeah.
8:37
It's kind of powerful.
8:39
It's.
8:40
It is really serious on these Silent Hill streets.
8:45
Me and Silent Hill have had a very complicated history.
8:50
Well, listen, these last two games are worth it.
8:53
I will say that.
8:54
And they're very scary in different ways.
8:56
I will say that as well.
8:58
Also, as.
8:59
As Mal is saying and as we've been saying for the past two days.
9:04
Happy birthday.
9:09
Thank you.
9:10
It was great.
9:11
And she celebrated by scaring herself half to death.
9:15
No, Yesterday was more about Marvel zombies and the family eating Cheesecake Factory.
9:19
It was wonderful.
9:23
That is.
9:23
That is.
9:24
We are.
9:25
We are definitely talking about that.
9:27
Thursday.
9:28
There's.
9:30
Yeah.
9:35
I have.
9:36
I have I have questions.
9:39
There's a lot of questions.
9:40
I'm like, there.
9:41
I'm like, I know this better not be.
9:45
They can't.
9:47
And I hope that's also not going to be answered in another film.
9:51
Just do another season two of the Zombies.
9:53
Don't.
9:53
Don't.
9:53
Don't do it.
9:54
Another film.
9:55
Yeah.
9:55
Just.
9:57
Yeah.
9:57
All right.
9:58
Okay.
9:59
I tell you this much.
10:01
Without.
10:02
For those who haven't seen it or.
10:04
Or whatever, I'm not giving away too many spoilers, but I will say, let me get whooped again here.
10:17
Hey, hey, hey.
10:18
It's, like, jazzy around here in our very own Navy.
10:23
Montale's in the building.
10:27
Are you stuck?
10:28
Huh?
10:30
Wow.
10:30
I actually posed.
10:31
And then I'm saying, are you stuck?
10:33
This.
10:34
That's bad.
10:35
We've gotten to that point in our lives.
10:38
No, I.
10:39
Yeah, we.
10:40
I.
10:41
Without giving away spoilers for Marvel Zombies, because we're talking about a Thursday.
10:45
I will say this.
10:46
Yelena.
10:48
Man, I'm a drink again.
10:55
I don't know.
10:56
Florence Pugh was putting out, like, emotion.
11:04
She can act.
11:05
That whole family.
11:06
That whole family did their voice.
11:08
Acting.
11:09
Yeah, they.
11:10
They.
11:11
They look this.
11:14
There's a scene, that scene in Thunderbolts where she just breaks down to Alexi as.
11:21
AKA her father.
11:22
Not her father, but.
11:24
But that whole line.
11:26
And then she busts out with the but, Daddy, I'm so alone.
11:30
And I said, not now.
11:36
She's.
11:36
Yeah.
11:37
To find.
11:37
You're right.
11:38
She's.
11:38
She's been having a year.
11:40
Elena has been having a year.
11:42
Shout out.
11:43
Shout out to Florence Blue.
11:45
Because she.
11:47
That'll.
11:47
That Thunderbolt scene.
11:48
And then even looking at Alexi as she's going through the breakdown, and he's like, yeah, that's what a father would do.
11:55
He wouldn't know what to do.
11:58
He's just kind of stuck.
12:01
And he's like.
12:01
He's hearing the little girl that he.
12:04
She's a grown woman.
12:05
But even he said it.
12:06
You're a grown woman.
12:08
I still see my little girl.
12:11
Still see my.
12:12
And the crazy thing is they're not even related.
12:17
They spent, like, what I think they spent with, like, five years together during that mission.
12:22
I feel like it was more than that.
12:24
It.
12:24
It wasn't.
12:24
It wasn't because Elena was very young.
12:30
She.
12:31
Natasha was, like, close to between 10 and 13, and Yelena was probably between 5 and 7.
12:43
I thought she was older than that.
12:44
Okay.
12:44
Yeah.
12:45
I deserved you.
12:47
Right?
12:48
I thought.
12:48
I thought she was older than that.
12:49
But.
12:49
Yeah.
12:50
And I'm just going.
12:51
I'm just based Off a kid height, you know, so.
12:55
But yeah, she.
12:57
She carries.
12:59
She carries frequently.
13:02
Very much so.
13:03
Very much so, you know.
13:04
Another performance that I.
13:05
I've seen lately was our very own Geek by Heart as she was playing Silent Hill.
13:12
F y', all, if y' all did not check out her stream, let me tell you, she had me doing this with my hands.
13:19
Every time she stops, like, okay, okay, okay, okay.
13:26
I'm just sitting there going, girl, you better.
13:30
It's.
13:30
It's an experience.
13:32
It's an experience.
13:32
And there's times I was doing that because I was gripping the.
13:35
The.
13:36
The controller so hard, because there are times I'm, like, shaking like, y' all.
13:42
Don'T see it, but I'm like.
13:43
Like this.
13:44
And I'm just like, okay, I need to calm down.
13:47
Sometimes I'll pause the exact same think, but I'm also not only thinking.
13:50
I'm.
13:51
I'm trying to have myself, like, chill out.
13:54
Nope.
13:55
Note.
13:59
Oh, God.
14:05
You so fast.
14:06
You so pass the school.
14:12
Because that's.
14:12
Without giving anything away, I want to say I.
14:15
I.
14:16
Lava is what I've seen.
14:18
I've seen lava.
14:19
Okay, there we go.
14:20
Well, last.
14:21
So then, yes, I'm past the school.
14:24
Oh, my gosh.
14:26
It's not a big deal.
14:27
For you.
14:28
It's not.
14:29
I hope.
14:30
I hope things take a turn I will say.
14:38
Was downpour.
14:42
Downward.
14:42
That war wasn't scary, but it was too much.
14:45
It wasn't.
14:46
It wasn't.
14:46
It was just too much.
14:47
It was like, you will run out of resources.
14:50
I think I replayed or tried to replay that at least three times, and every time I got stuck at the same place because I just run out of resources.
14:57
I, like, forget it.
14:58
I'm not just gonna do.
14:59
I'm not gonna do it.
15:02
Okay.
15:03
I wish you all the best in your horror runs.
15:05
I'm not doing it.
15:06
I thought I would.
15:10
I will live vicariously through you, because, yo, let me tell you, the last time I played with Resident Evil, was it Resident Evil 3.
15:19
And I just.
15:21
Original.
15:22
Original, man.
15:23
Bump that remake mess.
15:24
Nah, you want.
15:25
You want to get that original?
15:28
Yeah, but thank you.
15:30
I mean, the remakes are not bad, especially the second one.
15:34
The second one.
15:34
Are we.
15:35
Are we comparing graphics?
15:36
Is that what we're comparing?
15:38
I'm not comparing graphics.
15:39
I'm talking about, like.
15:40
Yeah, then.
15:40
No, no, no.
15:44
I.
15:44
I will stick with the original because it's nostalgic.
15:48
Okay, Original for me.
15:50
The original for me was perfect.
15:52
Because if you're on a navy ship and you're playing a game.
15:55
That's scary.
15:55
But they're watching you play, and they all jump at the same point at the same time.
16:01
Priceless.
16:02
Absolutely priceless.
16:04
That is a problem.
16:07
That is a problem.
16:11
It's a problem.
16:12
You can't get rid of.
16:15
Jesus.
16:18
Recipes to Asada Shakur.
16:20
She died a free woman.
16:25
And surrounded by good food, hopefully, because.
16:27
Good Lord.
16:28
Cuba.
16:29
Yes.
16:30
I mean, I'm saying if, you know.
16:33
You'Ve ever had Cuban food.
16:35
Hey, man, you know, sometimes, you know, home ain't home.
16:40
Ain't always where you start.
16:41
That's all I'm saying.
16:44
Always where you start.
16:45
This part.
16:47
This part.
16:48
And yes, we.
16:48
She's being celebrated.
16:50
Yes.
16:51
Defense.
16:53
You've seen our lawyer show.
16:55
We have a great defense.
16:58
That is true.
16:59
That is very true.
17:04
Yeah.
17:07
As you know, we are in our spooky season officially, and we start talking about all the spooky stuff.
17:16
Oh, my God.
17:18
Fix your face, Kara.
17:21
I know why, like, life is life is life thing I don't need.
17:28
Look, I'm revisiting.
17:29
I'm revisiting the final girls and the final guys, okay?
17:36
You know, because people seem to forget about Roger.
17:40
I don't know why.
17:41
If you've watched this show long enough, you know who Roger is.
17:49
And Roger made sure his ass got out the house.
17:53
And.
17:54
And Betsy.
17:54
And Betsy just couldn't.
17:57
Couldn't make the cut.
17:59
The scary comics are coming out, too.
18:02
Scary comics are coming out.
18:03
I picked up the latest one today.
18:07
Oh, Event Horizon.
18:08
Event Horizon.
18:09
Dark Descent, issue one.
18:11
So I'm excited.
18:12
That is.
18:13
That is a 90s movie.
18:18
Wrap your head around that.
18:20

18:24
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe.
18:26
Yes, ma'.
18:27

18:30
This waiting for October as well.
18:33
Oh, Blood Hunt is so.
18:35
Bloodhood is fun.
18:36
Bloodhound is fun.
18:37
That is dope.
18:38
I'm still catching up on some of my.
18:40
On my comics.
18:41
And I read a Amazing Spider man number one, which is in this particular chapter, was written by Kevin Smith.
18:49
What's that one?
18:52
I gotta.
18:53
You know what?
18:53
I have to order.
18:54
They chose violence.
18:55
They choose violence.
18:55
I just have to order.
18:56
They choose violence because I'm not gonna find it.
18:59
I'm not gonna find it around here.
19:00
I'm just not.
19:04
At all.
19:04
At all.
19:05
And of course, our.
19:07
Our resident comic creator has created the new one called Skin Breaker, which I'm looking.
19:15
I'm looking forward to checking out Robert Kirkman.
19:18
I don't think that man is missed yet.
19:20
No, he hasn't.
19:21
Him and Jonathan Hickman, bullseye artists.
19:26
They do every time.
19:28
I'm like, oh, didn't Expect that kind of story.
19:31
Let me sit back and.
19:32
And take this in.
19:34
Jonathan.
19:35
Jonathan Hickman's the reason why I started buying Avengers.
19:38
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
19:41
Death in the Family.
19:45
I knew.
19:49
Death in the Families.
19:52
Let me grab a book off the shelf.
19:53
Hold on one second.
19:54
First of all, Kira, the way you reached off and got books off your shell show.
20:01
Very good, Very good.
20:03
The background.
20:04
The background has purpose.
20:05
See, yes.
20:07
Murder podcast is dope, though.
20:09
That is, if y' all want to check out an excellent comic.
20:11
That is incredible.
20:15
See, there go it goes to show you that you don't always have to reboot a horror franchise, which, unfortunately, they're doing again with Friday the 13th.
20:30
Why let him.
20:32
Yeah, they're rebooting.
20:34
Or they're re.
20:35
They're rebooting.
20:36
They're putting it back out to watch in the theater.
20:38
They don't need.
20:39
Well, they.
20:40
They.
20:40
They're doing both.
20:41
They're they're probably doing both.
20:43
Supposed to be a TV series based on Crystal Lake that is in, like, foreign development, I believe.
20:49
And then what Chris said.
20:53
I don't need.
20:54
I don't need a reboot.
20:56
I.
20:56
I really don't need a reboot.
21:00
Can we let it down?
21:00
Just watch 10 out off of my memory, but I don't need a reboot.
21:06
Keep.
21:07
Keep going.
21:08
Facts, please.
21:08
Can we just let it die?
21:11
Just keep going.
21:13
I like, you tried with Freddy Krueger.
21:21
They put money in that.
21:22
They put money in that bank.
21:23
Yeah.
21:23
Yeah, they tried, and it.
21:26
For what it was.
21:27
It wasn't bad.
21:28
They're doing great with Evil Dead.
21:32
They're doing great.
21:32
What evil did like that last?
21:34
I was just like, jeez, everyone.
21:44
Not a.
21:45
No, not one person.
21:46
Not.
21:46
No one.
21:48
Yeah, there was the aunt and the daughter.
21:54
The daughter.
21:55
They didn't make it out.
21:56
They was in the parking deck.
21:57
They was in the parking deck.
21:59
No, they made it out.
22:01
I'm gonna have to look at that again.
22:02
I could have swore they didn't made.
22:03
It out, but there was a random girl who didn't make it out who was actually at the start of the film.
22:10
But you didn't know that.
22:11
That that was the end of the film.
22:12
At the start of the film.
22:13
Okay.
22:14
Okay.
22:14
Yeah.
22:15
Because that.
22:16
Well, I'm not gonna start the film.
22:19
I'll let y' all do that.
22:20
I'm.
22:21
I'm a chicken.
22:23
That's.
22:23
That's a rough.
22:24
That's a rough.
22:25
Even.
22:25
Even 2013 was bad.
22:27
Even.
22:28
Even Final Destination Bloodlines.
22:32
That was.
22:32
Was actually really good.
22:34
Okay.
22:34
Okay.
22:35
All right.
22:35
I did that Wait a minute.
22:37
I got another one for y' all to watch.
22:38
I can't remember what it's called, but it's with Jai Courtney, and I'm not a fan of him, but he did his thing in this one.
22:45
Oh, Boomerang.
22:46
Captain.
22:47
Captain Boomerang.
22:49
Yes.
22:49
But.
22:50
But what did he.
22:51
Was it Blood in the water?
22:53
Dangerous animals?
22:55
Watch that if you happen.
22:56
Okay, where's that on.
23:02
I feel like.
23:03
Is it on the high.
23:03
Is it on the high seas?
23:06
I feel like on somebody's streaming.
23:09
Oh, I know this movie.
23:11
Oh, yeah, it's.
23:14
It's really good, actually.
23:15
And I am not a Jai Courtney fan, but it's really good.
23:19
Well, don't sell it on the Jai Courtney.
23:21
It's.
23:22
It's open wall.
23:23
It's basically open water, isn't it?
23:25
It kind of is.
23:27
Wait, he's.
23:28
He's like.
23:29
Okay, I think I've seen it.
23:30
Serial killer.
23:32
That's what I.
23:32
Okay.
23:33
I did see the trailer.
23:36
Oh.
23:37
And.
23:37
And that's why I say I have.
23:39
I have to give him credit because he actually carries that film on his back, and it is really good.
23:48
Okay.
23:53
I was going to.
23:55
I want to see if I can do this.
23:58
Yuck.
23:59
I'm not sure because I didn't.
24:02
I didn't get a chance to do it the way I wanted to.
24:05
But we have a quick trailers from Star Wars.
24:16
There we go.
24:18
Let's see if this work.
24:19
See if it doesn't give me any problem.
24:21
Every.
24:22
Every other time I do it, it seems to be fine, but.
24:26
But I have to do it a little different way.
24:29
This is Star Wars Vision, Volume 3.
24:32
3.
24:33
Because the first two volumes are so damn good.
24:37
Three volume trace.
24:41
Glitchy, isn't it?
24:43
Volume trace.
25:02
That.
26:18
I gotta tell you, the anime treatment.
26:21
They hit it always.
26:24
It always hits in a way that you just cannot.
26:28
They all stay away.
26:32
Star Wars Visions.
26:34
The entire run so far in their bag.
26:38
Because you're getting different looks.
26:40
This one just seeing like.
26:42
Like Navy said, seeing some of those anime looks, it takes you back when you.
26:49
It takes you back watching early anime films.
26:54
Black Spartan.
26:57
Trey Mosley.
26:58
Trey Mosley's not on the show.
26:59
Of course he's.
27:00
What's happening?
27:01
What's happening?
27:01
Trey.
27:02
No, but.
27:03
But Star Wars Visions has a.
27:05
Hey, I love it.
27:10
Just tells you more that there are people out there who really put in fantastic work and they don't get seen.
27:20
Sign up for blur station@blurstation.com.
27:23
right.
27:24
They do an amazing job.
27:27
These studios do great jobs.
27:29
The Star wars application for making new Series grows ever so longer, and so many studios need to go ahead and do stories that aren't Jedi or sick.
27:45
They are on one.
27:47
They're like right under here.
27:49
I swear to God.
27:50
Right.
27:51
So, Kira, do you need lawyers?
27:54
I'm sorry.
27:58
The calls coming, the calls come from inside the house, Kira.
28:01
I, I, I don't.
28:03
Criminal Empire.
28:03
What?
28:05
Yeah.
28:07
No, yeah, he says the Empire is coming.
28:10
Look, the umpire come for all of us.
28:11
That's the case, man.
28:14
Literally.
28:14
Y' all wait.
28:17
That's the case.
28:19
I, I'm waiting on the call.
28:20
I swear to God.
28:21
I'm waiting on the call from them.
28:23
Be like, hey, are you ready?
28:27
Hell yeah, I'm ready.
28:28
I got 40 years of knowledge.
28:29
I've been ready.
28:32
That's when you just sit there and just go to the armory.
28:36
Yeah.
28:38
Wondering when this call was coming through.
28:40
Y' all took long enough.
28:41
You're gonna look at me like, looking at me like Randy Quaid from Independence Day, like I'm crazy until you find out I wasn't lying the entire time.
28:52
Well, he crazy now, so that's true.
28:56
And this is why.
28:57
And this is why blacksmithing will always be a wonderful trade.
29:01
Yes, but no Star wars visions.
29:06
And we talked about it before, we stated it before, that you can always tell a really good story.
29:12
It doesn't even have to be a continuing story, but you can always tell a really good story that's self contained, that doesn't really have to involve the main characters that we grew up to know.
29:24
Pretty much as long as you have the core.
29:27
And let me see, the entire war has taken place over what, 40 years?
29:36
So in probably.
29:38
Yeah, more than likely more than that.
29:39
And so you figure there are stories in betwixt all that time because you figured Luke and Leia were about, what, 20.
29:50
That's, that's just where it was.
29:51
Yeah.
29:51
1920.
29:52
Yeah.
29:53
So 19.
29:53
So where that started.
29:54
We're not even counting the 19 years price.
29:59
So you figured just slap a 20.
30:02
20 years on that one.
30:03
Or the pockets of resistance stories that you can tell, right?
30:07
The era, the, the real beginnings.
30:09
Although, don't be wrong.
30:10
Rogue One, still fun.
30:11
I am one with the.
30:12
I am one with the Force.
30:13
The Force is one with me.
30:14
I will always, I will always recite that.
30:16
But right.
30:17
There's pockets of stories in between the episodes that you can tell.
30:23
You can even go back and tell.
30:25
If you really wanted to.
30:27
You could tell an Ewok story.
30:30
There's, I mean, between Chewbacca, between.
30:34
You can tell certain stories.
30:36
Laney's face Is just like, no, no, no, Ewoks.
30:39
Please, please, can we get a jawa story?
30:43
Since we want to see them little go crazy.
30:45
I want to see the jawas.
30:48
Let's see the jawas.
30:49
That's what I want to see.
30:51
So I'm just saying.
30:53
So we're gonna take a quick break.
30:54
We're gonna come right back.
30:55
We have our guest in the building.
30:57
Gary Peebles.
30:59
Stuntman, stunt performer, martial artist.
31:04
Seems like an all right.
31:05
Great guy.
31:06
Great guy.
31:06
Yeah.
31:09

31:13
Black man, I gotta get to that.
31:17
Trey.
31:20
Yo.
31:21
He's blessing.
31:22
He's blessing us.
31:23
He's blessing this.
31:25
We go take a quick break.
31:26
We'll be right back.

So before we bring our guests in, we gotta get the crew in here real quick, because I want them to see this if they haven't already or if it.
33:03
Or better yet, for our other people out there who haven't seen it as well.
33:07
Our guest is a major factor in a lot of big productions, so you might want to see some of the stuff he's worked on.
33:25
Sa it.
34:43
Gary Peebles, everybody.
34:45
I want to be like him when I grow up.
34:47

34:54
Let me.
34:55
Let me give you my guy.
35:11
Impressive, Gary.
35:12
Thank you so much.
35:13
Yes, sir.
35:15
Between the.
35:16
You are 61 2, 6 5.
35:18
Yes, sir.
35:19
Marshall, I'm sure that at your height and weight, they didn't think you could even jump that high.
35:30
Let me tell you, it was a time trying to convince people that that was possible for sure.
35:36
Yeah.
35:40
He's like, well, hello.
35:43
Miss lady Mandalore over here.
35:44
She has not come down.
35:49
You notice there's that one fight between myself and another performer, and it took.
35:53
And that's.
35:54
That was one that we did as, like, fight homework for a coordinator who was doing a fight choreography class.
35:59
And it took us doing that fight for people to be like, oh, he wasn't lying.
36:08
My goodness.
36:09
He's not playing around.
36:11
I want to talk.
36:12
Go ahead, Spartan.
36:13
Go ahead.
36:14
Oh, no.
36:14
I.
36:15
As a person that studies martial arts and watching another person their craft, I need to train more.
36:21
Jesus.
36:24
I'm not even going.
36:25
I'm like, you just inspired.
36:28
You just inspired me to just go ahead and go try a little bit.
36:30
Harder right ahead Brother, go.
36:34
Ready?
36:35
So I, I guess the normal.
36:38
When did you get started?
36:40
And, and let's start with the martial arts part of it.
36:43
I was three.
36:45
Oh, you've been.
36:45
Oh.
36:48
No, the only right answer is in the womb, sir.
36:53
This man's first word was chakra.
36:55
Okay.
36:58
I was three.
36:59
Yep.
37:00
I saw, it was in 1986 in D.C.
37:05
i saw a Chinese New Year's parade and I told my dad I was like, I want to do that.
37:10
And he's like, no you don't.
37:11
I was like, yes, I do.
37:12
A lot of convincing, you know, a lot of unknown stuff by a three year old.
37:17
And it just kind of went from there.
37:19
Started doing kung fu from then up until now.
37:24
Nice.
37:25
That is well beyond impressive, I gotta say that one because I, I, I, you shot me.
37:33
The two clips and I've had to keep watching them because I'm like, dude, I've seen him.
37:38
There's a lot.
37:42
Very impressive that you were 10.
37:44
So stunt work came in where stonework.
37:48
Came in after college.
37:49
So the, the, the, the challenges of being larger has always kind of been there.
37:55
Even with martial arts.
37:57
Martial arts, my teacher was sifu and kung fu.
38:00
They have to, he had to keep me there longer, train me harder, train me longer in order for me to be able to compete with the lung, with the younger or just compete with the Chinese, Americans or Chinese
38:12
students that we had.
38:13
Because in his infinite wisdom, he knew that I was going to get bigger and I was going to get stronger, my body was going to change when traditionally, you know, Asian Americans bodies, you know, they don't, they don't,
38:28
they don't become this size normally.
38:31
So, yeah, yeah, so he's just like, I have to make sure that your body can be able to do these things.
38:37
But only thing is, he didn't tell me all that.
38:45
So I'm just thinking this man hates me.
38:52
I'm like, he, he hates me.
38:54
And so I'm spending my whole time trying to win this man's heart, win this man's approval, win this man's favor, until of course I get about 19 years old and he tells me why.
39:04
And I'm like, bro, you could have just told me.
39:10
That's literally every martial martial arts.
39:15
Literally could have just told me.
39:16
He was like, I couldn't.
39:18
He's like, I couldn't.
39:19
He said, because you know, of how I felt about you, if I would have told you, you would have bargained with me.
39:26
And he said, you probably would have won, you know, so without, without that kind of, without that Level of training or level of forethought from him.
39:39
Would not be here.
39:40
Would not.
39:44
He did an excellent job.
39:46
Like I said, that was like, literally the background of every martial arts film that we've watched, where it's just like, that teacher is harder on that one student, and the student is just like, why are you so wrong?
40:00
Because you got it in you.
40:02
All right, you can do it and they can't.
40:05
But they're clearly doing it more, much.
40:07
Better than me.
40:11
Lady.
40:11
Mandalore questions or stunned?
40:15
I don't know.
40:20
I think that you.
40:23
You should be more famous than you are.
40:26
That's my first thought off the top of my head.
40:30
Do.
40:30
Do you have.
40:33
Oh, my God.
40:33
I really and truly.
40:35
So first of all, I think he works with my friend Ricky Barksdale.
40:38
I' ma just say that out the gate.
40:42
Okay.
40:43
So cool, y'.
40:44
All.
40:44
I think y' all worked on the Mike Tyson biopic together, I think.
40:49
Oh, yeah.
40:50
We also.
40:50
We also did Black Panther together, too.
40:54
I know people sometimes.
41:01
How.
41:02
How has it been in, I guess, this atmosphere being a black stuntman?
41:09
Do you.
41:10
I don't know what to ask you, bro.
41:12
Like, you're just spectacular or nothing.
41:17
I'm.
41:17
I'm stuck.
41:17
Like, I think.
41:18
I think that you are somebody that needs to be able to speak out loud about your experience within Hollywood as a black actor, stunt performer or not.
41:30
Y' all have to act.
41:32
You're still using your body in order to portray a story, and more so than some of these actors.
41:36
Can you, like, talk about your.
41:39
Can you talk about your journey?
41:40
Can you maybe even talk about how you feel about the Academy finally recognizing y' all for your work as well?
41:51
We have been.
41:52
We have been going off about that for years.
41:55
Years.
41:56
Look way.
41:57
And that's been way before I even got into stunts.
41:59
So that's been a thing that we've been fighting for for a long time.
42:02
And it's finally going to happen, which I can definitely, definitely appreciate.
42:06
And, And.
42:07
And just to think that you are an Academy Award winning stunt performer, like, just saying those words together is just like, wait, what did we.
42:16
We finally get one of them things, you know?
42:20
But as far as, like, the experience of being a stunt performer, a larger stunt performer and a black stunt performer is.
42:28
They kind of go hand in hand.
42:30
Because just like anything else with being black in general, you are responsible for strangers because they are the same color as you.
42:41
Just like, the same way.
42:42
I am responsible for what another black performer does because regardless of what if.
42:49
Even if he did it or she did it, and I had no idea about it, that is how we are all going to be viewed.
42:58
And unfortunately, we.
43:00
We don't have the.
43:02
The gift or the privilege of individuality where that person can separate themselves from the group, even if we're working on projects that are, however far apart.
43:15
And we've never met each other.
43:17
So that's always one thing to be completely cognizant about, is that, yes, I'm performing for me, yes, I am trying to make an impact on the industry and impact on my life and leave a legacy.
43:28
But I also have to think about the performers that are around me in my purview, but the other black performers that I haven't met, and for the other ones that come behind me, and especially the other larger performers
43:40
that are going to come behind me, because, of course, I won't be able to do this forever, and I'm not going to be the only one like me.
43:47
I would be a fool to think that.
43:48
I would love for somebody to come along and do better with the same kind of attributes that I have.
43:58
And, you know, they could be like Jerry walk so I could run like.
44:11
Go ahead.
44:11
Maybe.
44:11
You got a question?
44:12
Maybe.
44:14
Oh.
44:15
First of all, my brother, thank you for watching.
44:17
Thank you.
44:18
What you do.
44:19
Because as that older cat who has seen movies, and I've always said, I want to see us doing the stunts, I want to see us getting the recognition, see us getting the acclaim and the respect that's due.
44:30
So as an older gentleman to your young generation, bravo to you, sir.
44:36
Bravo.
44:36
Thank you so much.
44:38
See, See?
44:39
He and I can buy we.
44:42
So out of all the projects that you've done, has there been one that's been the most significant?
44:47
I mean, that is one that's been a motivator, or maybe one that has just stuck with you the most in your entire career thus far?
44:56
I would say, and this is probably, you know, very obvious, I would say that Infinity War had the most impact.
45:08
You had your time.
45:08
It's my time.
45:09
Okay.
45:12
Okay.
45:13
It's my time.
45:13
Me and my red shirt.
45:14
I asked him.
45:17
But, yeah, Infinity War even more so.
45:21
And I just feel like I'm just dropping names at this point, but Guardians drop names away.
45:30
Guardians 3, you know, was.
45:32
Was.
45:32
Was Guardians 3.
45:33
And.
45:33
And that.
45:34
That was, I would say, commanded the most of me physically, but Infinity War commanded the most of me mentally and emotionally.
45:47
So I would say that being or doing Infinity War at least, or the very least prepared me for what Guardians three required.
45:59
And I say that because everybody's like, oh, Man, Drax was.
46:04
Gary was DRAX.
46:05
And Guardians 3, Gary or in Infinity War.
46:07
And I'm like, you have no idea.
46:09
Because I was not initially supposed to be Drax and Infinity War.
46:13
It took me 10 months of training and mental fortitude to get to Infinity War.
46:24
We started pre vis, which is called pre visualization.
46:27
We have to build all the stunts and fights around.
46:29
Everything that required was required in Infinity War.
46:33
And they had two doubles, and Dave has his own double, who was Rob.
46:38
And Rob did Guardians 1 and 2.
46:43
And so because the.
46:44
The grand scale of Infinity War and in game, they needed everybody to have two doubles.
46:49
And then they realized how much that was going to cost.
46:52
In three weeks in the previs, they cut the second doubles, and I was the second double.
46:58
And I was like, my life is over.
47:06
I remember the email, you know, I remember the email that I got for.
47:10
For Infinity War.
47:12
And they were like, hey, you look like one of our superheroes.
47:15
We'd like you to, you know, consider those, you know, and for, I mean, for like, two, three seconds.
47:28
And I would mean, like, you know, for a while, I was like, somebody.
47:31
Somebody's trolling me.
47:32
Somebody's trolling me really hard.
47:33
But, you know, so the stunt coordinator, who just happened to be one of the freaking doubles for Captain America was like, hey, man, you know, this is what it is.
47:44
You know, if we need you, we'll call you.
47:47
And I'm like, okay.
47:49
So I went home, and I was like, I'm not gonna jump off a building.
47:52
I'm gonna be fine.
47:56
But it.
47:57
But it.
47:57
But.
47:57
So I did other projects in between.
47:59
We went back and we did.
48:02
We.
48:02
We.
48:02
You know, later on, they required a lot of.
48:06
We had to do all the Wakanda scenes with the outriders and all the Avengers and Black Panther and.
48:11
And.
48:11
And.
48:12
And Black Widow and everything.
48:13
Like.
48:13
And I did that.
48:14
But in between that, I did Pitch Perfect 3.
48:17
But I was still very, very focused on being Drax.
48:22
And I talked to one of the assistant.
48:23
Assistant coordinators that had come to my house at the time, and he was like.
48:27
And I asked him, I said, hey, man, I know there's another scene where Drax is going to be filming in October.
48:32
I said, what are the chances of me being able to do that?
48:37
And he said, I'm not gonna bullshit you, man.
48:39
It's probably like, a 5% chance.
48:41
And what I heard was 5, not 0.
48:46
So for that, I took that and ran with it.
48:51
I mean, like, I immersed myself into everything that I could.
48:55
I listened to the Guardians one Score.
48:57
I looked at as much drag stuff as I possibly could.
49:00
I watched the cartoons, I looked at the video games, anything that I could.
49:04
I got more comic books, whatever it was that I could just, you know, would manifest or, or put myself in them.
49:12
I know the Ballad of the Nova Corps, note for note.
49:18
So come around September 2017, I get a phone call from the stud assistant.
49:23
He's like, hey, man, are you available this day?
49:25
And I said, yes.
49:26
Yeah.
49:30
And.
49:30
And, you know, and then they said, okay.
49:32
And so he doesn't want to tell me because he knows how excited I go again, he doesn't want to disappoint me because.
49:36
But they changed the dates.
49:37
And so the dates change, and it actually ends up being three days instead of one.
49:42
And he was like, okay, so are you available these days?
49:47
I'm like, yeah.
49:48
And I know.
49:48
And I asked him, I said, I know the dates changed, but are they going to use me or are they going to use Rob for these three days?
49:55
And he's like, I don't know.
49:56
That's what I'm trying to find out.
49:57
And then I just got a text message.
49:59
Excuse me.
50:00
I just get a text message.
50:01
Hey, man, be here at 5:30 in the morning.
50:03
I got there at 3:30 before they set up base camp.
50:08
One, because I was excited.
50:10
Two, because I knew I got to be responsible for everybody that is a person of color.
50:19
Because at this point, they're, they're, they're taking a huge chance and risk on me because at this point, I'm still fairly new.
50:28
I've only been in the industry professionally now for two years, and I'm already getting ready to do this grand scale movie.
50:38
And so I get there, they're like, get into your shorts, no shirt.
50:42
And I'm like, okay, five makeup artists.
50:45
And they just come start.
50:46
They, it's like they're attacking me with makeup and prosthetics and they're putting the paint on me.
50:50
They're.
50:50
They're airbrushing me and putting the stuff on, and they're taking the, what they call the transfers.
50:55
And that's what's, the red stuff on Drax's skin.
50:58
And they're just wetting it and putting it on me and everything and putting it on my chest.
51:02
I look back and I am now a superhero kid from dc.
51:09
Statistically not supposed to be there.
51:11
Statistically supposed to be dead or in jail.
51:14
I am a superhero at this point.
51:17
I had to lean my head over my chair so I didn't get tears on my makeup.
51:24
Let's Go, man.
51:25
Dre Mosley is in the audience.
51:27
He has a question.
51:28
He says, I want to know what was the one job that, after all was said and done, you said to yourself, I did that, and what would it be?
51:34
The action franchise you'd want to be a part of now.
51:39
That is.
51:42
Please, can we put him in the Blade movie?
51:44
I'd like to see him.
51:45
I would love to, man.
51:46
I would love to do it all.
51:48
I would absolutely love to do it all.
51:49
But I will say that with that question, it was during that day, I still didn't have the job as Drax.
51:59
And that's going to answer his question, because I had to go there and do a screen test for the producers and the directors.
52:07
So it wasn't like they did all that makeup and they were like, no, no, no, you got to do a screen test.
52:11
We got to make sure that you can do the job.
52:15
So I, I was in.
52:16
And at that point, like I said, I'd been training for 10 months and I was.
52:20
I was.
52:21
I was offended a little bit because.
52:23
But they didn't know that I just.
52:25
What I'd just gone through for that long to get to that point.
52:28
And so I was just like, I am going to blow their mind.
52:31
So I walked up there, the most uncoordinated as I possibly could, the least heroic looking person ever.
52:40
And this, this props master, he has the Drax knives in his hands.
52:45
And I'm just standing there listening to the ad.
52:48
He's going to tell me what he wants me to do, to perform, to again, audition for this job.
52:52
Prop master takes the knives, and the Drax boots have holsters for the knives.
52:58
He slides them in my boots and he goes, you're ready.
53:03
And that was the most Manchurian Candidate move that anybody could have ever made.
53:09
And he had no idea.
53:13
And he's, he's, he's.
53:14
And I don't want to call him just a props guy because he's an excellent props guy and I love him.
53:17
And I told him about that on Guardians 3.
53:19
I was like, you have no idea how pivotal you were for me being here right now for what you said to me.
53:24
However many years ago in 2017, when we were doing this, he was like, I did.
53:28
I was like, yeah, you did.
53:30
Like, you have no idea.
53:31
He was so ecstatic.
53:32
He went home and told his wife.
53:33
But that moment right there was the one where I was like, I did that shit.
53:37
Because I did this whole thing where he was like, now take the knives out.
53:40
Started taking.
53:40
They're Just giving me all these directions.
53:43
And the camera is hanging from a bungee inside this very large studio in what you guys would know as the Q ship.
53:48
And that's where Drax, Mantis and Quill meet Dr.
53:52
Strange, Iron man and Spider Man.
53:54
And they think that Thanos is in there.
53:56
So that's that scene where I get beat up by the cloak of levitation.
54:00
So.
54:01
But that's that scene that I was auditioning for right there.
54:04
And, you know, I'm doing all this stuff and I.
54:07
And I.
54:08
And I think throw the knife up in the air and I jump, spin and catch it, right?
54:13
A camera lens.
54:14
And I go from camera right, corner of camera right to camera left, and the camera kind of goes back like this.
54:21
And Ed, one of the ads, and he's like, okay, we'll see you tomorrow.
54:23
And I'm like, yes, you will.
54:24
And I.
54:29
Nice, nice.
54:32
So that was my.
54:33
I did that shit moment for sure.
54:38
I like how you stated that you got there early because you were.
54:44
You wanted to be responsible for the other performers who come there.
54:47
So basically you became a guardian of the Guardians.
54:51
Yeah, yeah.
54:53
Put that on the shirt.
54:55
I'm telling you, there's history right there, man.
54:57
I do this a lot.
54:58
I'm sorry.
54:59
I do this.
54:59
No, I didn't know.
55:01
I appreciate it.
55:02
But, yeah, it's.
55:03
It's.
55:03
It's one of those things.
55:04
I was like, I am being given this amazing opportunity because I don't know another person other than Dave, who's from dc, who looks like me, that is.
55:20
Who.
55:21
Who has been afforded that opportunity to be able to do something like that.
55:27
That part, like, I'm like.
55:28
I'm literally born in Southeast D.C.
55:30
in the D.C.
55:31
hospital, District of Columbia Hospital for women that no longer exist.
55:36
So by definition of that time, I'm statistically supposed to be deceased or in jail, yet I have this thing where I can say I was a superhero in a Marvel movie.
55:47
Like, that's.
55:49
That.
55:49
That is something that I take.
55:52
That's a hang.
55:52
That's a hang your hat on moment right there before.
55:55
Before I get to Spartan and Whoopi and Geek by heart.
55:59
You are.
56:00
And I'm glad to discuss.
56:01
I'm glad the questions were asked about being a black stunt performer and.
56:05
And how you had to protect and guard other black stunt before.
56:09
Like, you were.
56:10
You had that responsibility.
56:12
You are part of a nice conglomerate of stunt POCs that are now with Blurred Station.
56:21
Yes, folks, you heard that, right.
56:24
Let's go.
56:25
Yeah, let's go.
56:27
Talk about.
56:28
We literally have Action.
56:30
Yes.
56:31
So let's talk about this.
56:32
The Stunt POC crew, what that looks like in.
56:36
In joining up with Blur Station.
56:38
Okay?
56:39
So if you.
56:41
If we've all experienced this at some point, being blurred, and I would say with the people that we have here, I would go ahead and say we are probably the OG Blurs.
56:52
Blurreds before Blurds was cool.
56:56
Facts.
56:56
You know, I would say before Blurs was cool.
56:59
You know, Dial up Goku.
57:07
So it's.
57:07
It's.
57:08
It's.
57:08
It's linking that with how being a nerd or a blurred has literally transcended into being a stuntman.
57:19
Because being a superhero, there's something I call the cheese.
57:24
There has.
57:24
So if you.
57:26
I'll give you a perfect example.
57:28
You know how you have Power Rangers, their helmets don't talk, so they have to talk like this all the time.
57:36
Right?
57:36
But if they're having a conversation, they don't do that.
57:38
It doesn't look right.
57:41
That's what I call the cheese.
57:44
Okay.
57:46
So being a blurred or being a geek has helped me emote these particular heroes or these people that require that kind of emotion.
57:59
Because I have this plethora of categorized cartoons, whatever, from old school optimists to the Centurions to bravestar to Thunderclap.
58:14
All.
58:14
Of those things, this.
58:16
This catalog to pull from.
58:19
And so when we.
58:21
When they were approached with us, and I'm just like, this is the thing.
58:24
So we're bringing a.
58:27
A normalcy to being a geek, being a blurred, and also letting these people know that you have an opportunity to use that to become the.
58:40
The very thing that you idolize.
58:42
Because that's how I see it.
58:46
That's what's up.
58:46
Exactly.
58:47
See, now folks out there don't understand, like, yeah, we weren't just pulling everybody's leg.
58:52
Like, we are back here working behind the scenes.
58:56
We're over at Blurred Station.
58:57
We are bringing something, some.
58:59
Some amazing anime and live action projects and maga.
59:04
You have no clue.
59:06
Like, we are not playing Black Spartan.
59:11
Who.
59:11
Who.
59:11
Let's.
59:12
Before.
59:12
Before I.
59:13
Before you go.
59:14
Here we go.
59:15
He has been.
59:17
He's been put.
59:18
He's been put into like fifth gear because of you.
59:21
He just got went into fifth.
59:22
Luffy.
59:23
Fifth gear because of that.
59:25
Because of that clip.
59:26
Go ahead.
59:28
I knew that was coming.
59:30
I told myself I had to go.
59:32
Back to the drawing board.
59:33
Everyone, my questions got obliterated.
59:35
So I will say this.
59:38
I.
59:38
I'll join Navy and saying this, definitely thank you for your service.
59:42
As far as being a stunt court, being a Stuntman, a martial artist.
59:47
Again, having such a, such having a high standard for yourself and really setting the bar for others, especially for people of color in that world that not a lot of people, people know about.
59:58
It's.
59:58
It's almost like, it's almost like professional wrestling.
1:00:02
You, you know, for, for black wrestlers and for black stuntmen, it's the same code.
1:00:07
You gotta look out for yourselves and each other and hold each other to a higher standard.
1:00:11
So again, I'm joining Navy on that and saying thank you.
1:00:13
Thank you, really.
1:00:14
Also thank you for that fight reel.
1:00:16
Because my God, you wait till you see the second my weapons back there.
1:00:19
And I'm like.
1:00:22
His face got bigger as the real.
1:00:24
I was like, I mean, his face was disappearing.
1:00:29
That's all you thought.
1:00:30
I'm, I am for.
1:00:32
I'm a bit of a fitness nut.
1:00:33
So when I actually see especially black martial artists or black or those in that or in the craft that they really show off, it's kind of like, oh, sh.
1:00:42
I gotta do more.
1:00:45
You try to make me look lazy.
1:00:46
Is what I'm getting at.
1:00:47
But anyway, question.
1:00:49
So because everyone, My question got thrown out the window, I will say this.
1:00:52
Let's, let's do fantasy booking because you've played, you've played doubles for superheroes.
1:00:57
Is there.
1:00:58
And I, I gotta ask, because we all got one.
1:01:01
Whether it's dc, whether it's Marvel or independent fandom, if tomorrow your phone, if tomorrow your phone rung and it was the role you've always wanted to play.
1:01:11
As, as being the person, what would.
1:01:14
Actually be that character that you would.
1:01:16
That would be, you know, you're Mount.
1:01:19
Rushmore, your dream role.
1:01:21
What would it be?
1:01:22
You know, I don't, I don't know per se.
1:01:25
And I, and I'll, and I'll, and I'll elaborate on that and I'll just say that I trained again for something like that and how, how important it was for Black Adam to do the flying and Black did the
1:01:40
motion capture flying for Black Adam.
1:01:42
And there wasn't any wires or anything like that available for me to fly or anything like that.
1:01:49
So I did a bunch of research.
1:01:50
I watched every movie with every type of flying, shoulder, flying, fist, flying, how you rise and how you body position.
1:01:58
I watched the behind the scenes.
1:02:00
I watched Terry Notary train Brandon Ruth on Superman Returns.
1:02:04
Now, he trained him in the water.
1:02:05
So I went and got a wetsuit, got some booties and, and, and jumped in the water and did, you know, spinning and aileron rolls.
1:02:13
Like, I jumped into the water.
1:02:14
Like I would be landing from flight and all that other stuff.
1:02:17
So anything.
1:02:19
And so you notice in.
1:02:20
In all of the movies that we watch, the person that can fly of their own volition without any kind of jet propulsion or any kind of suit or anything like that, are always Caucasian people.
1:02:37
Anybody who can fly that's black has to do so with some type of tech or outside help.
1:02:43
What I think is important for us, and what would be definitely important for me, is for us to see ourselves rise in that way of our own volition.
1:02:57
So whatever kind of flyer that's black, I would love to do that.
1:03:04
Okay, gotcha.
1:03:11
I'm sorry, excuse me.
1:03:13
Before I get to Whoopi and Geek by Heart, I do want to share another clip or another.
1:03:21
Another one of your.
1:03:22
It's a fight real.
1:03:23
It's fight real.
1:03:24
This is what it is.
1:03:25
We check this one out.
1:04:35
Incredible.
1:04:50
I would call that real.
1:04:51
You owe me money.
1:04:56
For the record, that hanger scene, Guardians 3 is still for me one of the best fight scenes.
1:05:02
Oh, yeah, man.
1:05:03
And that's why I say Guardians 3 commanded the most of me physically.
1:05:09
Because it was that.
1:05:12
That everybody says it's the Oner.
1:05:14
It's stitched very well.
1:05:17
It is not a Warner.
1:05:22
Mal says Gary will be perfect for Icon.
1:05:25
I can see it.
1:05:28
Whoever said that, make it happen.
1:05:30
I will do it.
1:05:31
Bronze.
1:05:31
Bronze Tiger.
1:05:32
Bronze Tiger.
1:05:33
I can see.
1:05:36
I mean, when I saw that because I saw your build, I was like, oh, that's ninth Rasher.
1:05:41
Just.
1:05:41
I've only seen one other person play Bronze Tiger.
1:05:44
Yeah.
1:05:45
Michael Jai White.
1:05:46
He's the only other person I've seen.
1:05:48
Yeah.
1:05:50
My vote for hardware.
1:05:51
I would love to see him.
1:05:54
Let's go.
1:05:56
You got a milestone crew right here.
1:05:58
Come on.
1:05:59
So geek by heart and little geek by heart.
1:06:07
She's like, I want to be in this too, Mom.
1:06:10
She did because she was around when you said that you started by three, when you said you started when you were three.
1:06:17
And she instantly said, that's gonna be me one day.
1:06:21
That's my 10 year old daughter.
1:06:24
Okay.
1:06:26
So when I tell you that do is important, it is important because like just off the heaven sends.
1:06:34
Are you doing what you're doing and you saying what you saying?
1:06:36
My daughter's right here.
1:06:37
She's listening.
1:06:38
She's listening and watching.
1:06:40
So I just want to tell you thank you as a parent about what you do and.
1:06:46
Yeah, because like I have to cry now, right?
1:06:50
No fighting back to myself because like I said, when she said that to me, it just was like yo, you just never know the impact that you have.
1:07:00
You know what I mean?
1:07:02
Because, like, for me, I.
1:07:05
I used to.
1:07:06
I.
1:07:06
I'm not.
1:07:07
It's not like, we're not cool or nothing like that.
1:07:08
We just, you know, haven't, you know, talked since I graduated.
1:07:11
But you might have known one of the stunt.
1:07:14
Stunt woman of the door, Milaje.
1:07:16
Janelle Stevens.
1:07:18
Yes.
1:07:20
I used to go to high school with her.
1:07:22
Okay.
1:07:23
Since seeing her in Infinity War.
1:07:26
Like, we had similar backgrounds.
1:07:28
We went to Basket.
1:07:30
We used to play basketball and things of that nature.
1:07:32
I used to play in D2.
1:07:34
Okay.
1:07:34
For a second.
1:07:35
But, like, she thrived.
1:07:37
And I always was like, yo, how did it come from, like, the same background?
1:07:42
But you did this, and you're amazing.
1:07:45
Excuse my language.
1:07:47
You know what I'm saying?
1:07:52
Yeah.
1:07:53
So, like, I.
1:07:53
I think mine is just more of comments more than it is at questions.
1:07:57
Because I can show you my questions.
1:07:58
That almost everybody asks.
1:08:03
It's called synergy.
1:08:05
I can't help it.
1:08:06
It's called synergy.
1:08:06
We all think, like, okay, it started.
1:08:10
With this one because I was just.
1:08:11
Like, yo, how is it, like, to be a person of color in this industry, being that you don't see that often?
1:08:17
And I felt like, to me, Infinity War broke the glass ceiling.
1:08:23
That's when I saw a whole bunch of POC stunt people that I've never seen in one place.
1:08:30
So when you start talking about that, that got me very, very emotional in.
1:08:35
In my head.
1:08:36
So, like, I just.
1:08:37
I just want to say thank you to that.
1:08:39
And, you know, I think the other question I was gonna have, but I think you guys might have been talking about either comic book characters.
1:08:45
So if it wasn't comic book characters, what video game character would you want to do?
1:08:50
But if that's what y' all was talking about, I don't know if the.
1:08:53
With the tiger people, if that was comic characters.
1:08:57
Yeah.
1:08:57
If it wasn't what video game characters you do, and if it was, I'm sorry, I ain't got no questions.
1:09:02
I apologize.
1:09:05
I have been.
1:09:07
I have been.
1:09:08
So.
1:09:09
So some nostalgia for.
1:09:10
For.
1:09:10
For.
1:09:11
For the Brethren is I got to meet and work with one of the OGs from Big Trouble in Little China.
1:09:21
And James Luke.
1:09:22
Oh, wow.
1:09:25
Cage.
1:09:26
And so James Lou was auditioning for fight choreographer for another realm studios.
1:09:32
NetherRealm Studios does all the Mortal Kombat games.
1:09:41
And so what I didn't know while we were out there was that they were looking at me very closely.
1:09:46
And then they called me and they were like, hey, we want you to do one of the characters that we have.
1:09:52
And I was like, huh?
1:09:53
He was like, yeah, you, you, you move exactly how to do who it is that we need.
1:09:58
And I was like, okay.
1:09:59
And then I saw the guy and I'm like, it looks just like me.
1:10:02
So I was, I had, was afforded the opportunity to be Garrus or Mortal Kombat 1.
1:10:09
Nice.
1:10:10
The, the chat is on fire out here.
1:10:13
They are losing their minds.
1:10:14
And I'm just gonna go ahead and say whoever knows Garrus and plays with Garrison?
1:10:19
I'm not gonna say that because a 10 year old baby.
1:10:21
Y' all stop doing that very specific combo.
1:10:29
I had to do those moves and every last one of them, I had to do it one by one by one.
1:10:34
And so seeing how all of those things have been together, y' all need.
1:10:45
It has a certain name that I'm not gonna say.
1:10:49
Look, I saw that.
1:10:49
I was like, no.
1:10:54
Oh my God.
1:10:55
Wolfie, what do you got?
1:10:58
My question is, you said you locked in on the martial arts from 3 years old and you locked in on wanting to be Drax.
1:11:08
I'm sure it happens to everybody.
1:11:10
Everybody steps off that path occasionally.
1:11:13
What do you do to get you.
1:11:14
Back to that focus?
1:11:17
The so, and this is different for everyone.
1:11:22
But there was, it's the, it's.
1:11:28
How do I put this without sounding really, really cheesy or corny?
1:11:35
I get up and I go to the gym every morning at about between 4:30 and 5:00'.
1:11:40
Clock.
1:11:40
And that is a must for me, regardless of what it is that I do.
1:11:46
I could have a, you know, a half donkey workout, you know what I mean?
1:11:51
And I, but, but the thing is that I, that that part of the day I still work one.
1:11:57
That part of the day I still beat.
1:11:59
So in this, the angel thing, when motivation dies, discipline must take its place.
1:12:05
And one thing that I was talking about at least with myself earlier today, is that pain and rage are a wonderful motivator, but it cannot be easily sustained because NOS works really well for a quarter mile.
1:12:23
But it's not going to work for a road trip because one day you're going to wake up and you're not going to feel that pain anymore.
1:12:28
One day you're going to wake up, you're not going to feel that anger anymore.
1:12:31
And then when you do, what else do you have?
1:12:33
What's going to keep you going?
1:12:35
What's your why after that?
1:12:36
So it's not a, it's not a long term thing to be so.
1:12:40
To Be angry about something and let that be the motivator.
1:12:42
It's not too, so, so the discipline has to outlast the right now.
1:12:49
And so when I get off track because all of us do at something, it's that, that, that is my anchor is the training.
1:12:56
Because I know that at some point I'm not going to be able to do the things that I could do.
1:13:01
I've been so, and I'm not trying to say anything about anybody.
1:13:05
And so I'm, I'm 42 years old now.
1:13:08
I've never had an ounce of alcohol.
1:13:10
I've never had any kind of drugs.
1:13:13
I've never even had weed.
1:13:14
I'm a huge proponent of weeds.
1:13:15
If you're doing weed, please continue.
1:13:18
I've never had it before, so.
1:13:21
And that's part of the martial arts trainings because my teacher was like, you never know when what it is that I've taught you is going to be used or called upon in the service of others.
1:13:30
So that's why I'm always prepared to do what it is that I need to do.
1:13:32
And that's why I've never had any of those things.
1:13:34
So that is the base for me.
1:13:37
Is that the discipline?
1:13:40
Is that the anchor when, when I feel like I don't have anything else?
1:13:44
It's that code.
1:13:45
And the code for me, my teacher said there's, there's, there's, there's no recreational drugs, there's no drinking, there's no gambling, there's no hitting women in anger, there's no hitting your opponent in the back, there's no hitting your opponent
1:13:59
while they're down, and no theft.
1:14:03
And so those are, those are the things that have made everything else fall in line when nothing else makes sense.
1:14:14
I'm always able to revert back to that.
1:14:19
I hope that answered your question.
1:14:21
So for the people that are watching right now live and will be listening, listening to the show back tomorrow morning, I hope that the tagline of entertain, educate and encourage, locked in with everybody.
1:14:34
Because that's what this brother just gave us.
1:14:38
I, I gotta ask you, I'm surprised I haven't heard it yet.
1:14:45
Being exposed to martial arts at 3.
1:14:47
Who are the martial artists that you look up to?
1:14:51
Oh, but I mean, this is probably gonna be super, super simple, but I, I, okay, well, I mean, of course I am a huge, huge fan of Donnie Yen.
1:15:06
Yes, I love Donnie and I love Wu Jing, and I loved, I love Donnie Yen.
1:15:12
Because here in the States, nobody, or at least mainstream nobody gives that man his due.
1:15:21
And it took him a long time for somebody to take that man seriously.
1:15:26
It took I, I.
1:15:28
And it took somebody a long, long time to give that man his due.
1:15:32
And he finally got it.
1:15:33
And what I would think was probably John Wick, it gave him a little bit in Triple X.
1:15:43
Yeah, yeah.
1:15:44
But that man should have had more to do in Blade two for sure.
1:15:49
God, yes.
1:15:50
Yep.
1:15:54
Yes.
1:15:57
I love Wu Jing or, or, or more more properly known, Jackie Woo.
1:16:03
I watched a lot of Jackie Chan movies, but only because, you know, the, the, the stunts in Jackie Chan movies were, were just different.
1:16:14
They were extremely creative, and he was extremely defensive versus offensive, unless, you know, his character called for that.
1:16:24
And like I said, so, so for me, I know the, the pivotal thing.
1:16:27
We learned a little bit of this in Kung Fu, but Dragon Tiger Gate was big and pivotal for me because of the differences in styles.
1:16:37
You know, the 18 dragon slaying palms is, is almost like a real thing.
1:16:41
They call it something else.
1:16:42
And then, you know, the villain, the Black Pagoda, and I stole a lot of that from the Black Pagoda because of how he just turned his hard style into soft style when he needed to.
1:16:55
It was like he could be everything except for all three of them at once.
1:17:00
And it was just, you know, it was, it was just a, A beautiful thing.
1:17:03
Also, I would say that a lot of my influence from when I was a kid.
1:17:09
Blow your mind again.
1:17:11
Some guyver2 dark hero.
1:17:15
Yes.
1:17:17
Let's go see.
1:17:19
Bringing back nothing but the memories.
1:17:20
Okay.
1:17:24
Guy for two dark hero, probably.
1:17:27
I watched that when I was about 10 years old, and it was just how, how that he, it was the duty.
1:17:36
He had a duty, and it was a purpose.
1:17:39
And that suit, you know, that, that, that suit and I had an opportunity to, to like, you know, tell Steve Wang this on Instagram.
1:17:48
I was like, you have no idea what that movie did to me as a child.
1:17:51
Still does to me as an adult.
1:17:55
You know, that's why everybody calls, you know, when they see the Guyver kick they see Scott Atkins do.
1:17:59
It was like, oh, it's the Yuri Booker.
1:18:01
I was like, I will slap.
1:18:06
I was like, that is MacGyver kick, and it will always look better with a jump spinning hook versus jump spinning crescent.
1:18:14
I don't care what nobody say.
1:18:19
I'm glad you mentioned Donnie Yen, because even Trey Mosley mentioned it in the, in the, in the, in the car, in the chat.
1:18:25
He said it, man.
1:18:26
I'm like, yeah, Master Hitman.
1:18:27
And, and my wife said, he looks familiar.
1:18:31
And I said, he was in Blade too.
1:18:33
And when she sees how fast he's moving, I said, and that is why.
1:18:41
That part I would Donnie and just is his.
1:18:47
His poise for things.
1:18:49
And I.
1:18:50
And I took a lot of his running style from the Return of Chinsen.
1:19:00
There's this scene where he's running and sprinting through rain and water and just.
1:19:05
Just does this parkour Kong off of a car.
1:19:09
And I'm like.
1:19:12
Huh.
1:19:13
So when I.
1:19:14
When I had to do that scene where you saw in the previz on the running, I'm running like Donnie Yen toward the guy who's doubling Adam Warlock.
1:19:24
Because it's kind of the same shot.
1:19:25
It's kind of like that close in shot.
1:19:28
Yeah.
1:19:28
And so I'm sprinting from.
1:19:30
And so.
1:19:30
So just for context, that's on nowhere.
1:19:33
The celestial head.
1:19:35
So that's.
1:19:35
That's where they film nowhere.
1:19:37
So I'm running with, you know, just arms up and everything like that.
1:19:42
I took a little bit of that from Shaolin soccer when that slow motion.
1:19:51
So I'm going to revert to one of our baby blur.
1:19:55
JoJo.
1:19:57
Yay.
1:19:57
JoJo.
1:19:58
Y.
1:20:01
It's okay.
1:20:02
Or do you want to ask it?
1:20:03
Go ahead, Jo.
1:20:04
Come on, jojo.
1:20:04
There's that smile.
1:20:05
She said she don't.
1:20:06
Okay, hold on.
1:20:09
I'm.
1:20:09
There it is.
1:20:10
Ask it.
1:20:11
Okay.
1:20:14
How did.
1:20:15
How did you turn your martial arts.
1:20:18
Career into a stunt person?
1:20:22
So.
1:20:23
Oh, well, thank you for asking.
1:20:26
So.
1:20:29
Martial arts is more to me than just a job because when I started martial arts, I had no idea that I was going to be a stunt performer.
1:20:43
I didn't know that I wanted to do that until college.
1:20:45
Before that, I wanted to be a fighter pilot.
1:20:47
And they were like, bro, you too big.
1:20:53
But, you know, so.
1:20:55
So.
1:20:57
And like I said before, the, The.
1:21:00
The.
1:21:00
The addiction to cartoons.
1:21:02
80s cartoons, specifically the poise and everything like that.
1:21:05
You Power Rangers, the.
1:21:07
The emotion.
1:21:08
It's like the martial arts just choked and the geekdom just helped.
1:21:15
It's like the martial arts gives you the fighting prowess that's going to work in film, but it's not necessarily a requirement because there's a lot of guys who have no martial skill.
1:21:26
They just do what they call ground to pound or bar fights or anything like that.
1:21:30
They have a.
1:21:30
They have a mental toughness and they usually do driving stunts or they have something that they've done world class before that.
1:21:37
But for me, specifically, specifically, I've never actually gotten to do too much martial arts on camera, but it does and has always helped me with my body positioning, my air Awareness.
1:21:53
You know how I threw that knife in.
1:21:58
In at Dr.
1:21:59
Strange?
1:22:03
That actually came from if.
1:22:05
If.
1:22:05
And again, it's for my older cats.
1:22:07
You remember the guy who could run really fast on Visionaries, how he threw the knife?
1:22:11
Yes.
1:22:11
In the intro.
1:22:12
Visionaries.
1:22:12
That's how I threw that knife at Dr.
1:22:15
Strange.
1:22:16
Because that's where they said the shot was going.
1:22:18
It was gonna.
1:22:18
The.
1:22:19
The knife was gonna come straight at camera.
1:22:21
Go past camera.
1:22:22
I was like, where can I.
1:22:23
What catalog can I do that?
1:22:24
And I was like, the guy from Visionaries.
1:22:27
And so it was initially a.
1:22:30
A throw with the left and a throw with the right.
1:22:33
Now, the thing is, you can't just take the knife and throw it from here.
1:22:36
The camera has to see it from back here.
1:22:39
And so it has to be an entire shoulder.
1:22:41
And my.
1:22:42
My shoulder is now in line, so my back has to be to it, so it has to see the entire motion.
1:22:47
I was just like, okay, I'll throw it like the dude in the visionary intro.
1:22:52
Nice.
1:22:53
I'm GLAD you mentioned 80s cartoons, because you're talking to a couple Gen Xers over here.
1:23:00
I don't know what you're talking about.
1:23:01
You know, so, like, when he's like, some.
1:23:05
They're like, there are cartoons that people do not talk about, forgotten about.
1:23:10
Like, look, sitting in front of a television screen as a kid.
1:23:14
Saturday morning cartoons, before we even had Cartoon Network.
1:23:18
Y' all don't know.
1:23:19
The struggle was real.
1:23:20
The cathedral was Saturday morning from 6.
1:23:25
That was the.
1:23:26
We didn't mess with Fruit Loops.
1:23:31
We did our chores early.
1:23:32
Yeah, exactly.
1:23:34
You like, it was always for.
1:23:36
At least for us.
1:23:37
My dad was like, all right, it's 12 noon.
1:23:40
All right.
1:23:40
Shows over.
1:23:41
Cartoons is gone.
1:23:44
Get dressed and get out.
1:23:45
Yes, ma'.
1:23:46
Am.
1:23:47
That's when.
1:23:48
That's when, like, full bands did theme songs for cartoons.
1:23:55
All right?
1:23:57
I have more respect for Jim than.
1:23:59
Than most people even care to.
1:24:01
I'm like that.
1:24:02
I'm like the music.
1:24:03
You see?
1:24:04
You see how you were just talking about synergy?
1:24:06
Because that was the exact thing I was thinking about thinking about Jim.
1:24:09
And I was like, he said it.
1:24:11
I was like, he heard me song.
1:24:15
You sit back like, who did these tracks?
1:24:18
Lady got up and Joe just going, no, mother.
1:24:20
No, no, not that.
1:24:23
No, mother.
1:24:32
There we go.
1:24:34
Knew she was gonna bring it out.
1:24:36
Synergy, people.
1:24:37
That's how it works here.
1:24:38
JoJo is like.
1:24:40
It lights up, too.
1:24:41
I don't know if you can see it.
1:24:42
Oh, yeah, we see it, girl.
1:24:43
Girl.
1:24:43
Oh, yeah.
1:24:44
Definitely see it.
1:24:45
Go to Your room.
1:24:46
Good Lord.
1:24:47
I will not.
1:24:48
But that appreciation for 80s cartoons, storylines be damned.
1:24:56
The animation and the music were standouts to this day.
1:25:03
To this day.
1:25:05
You look at the.
1:25:06
The intro to Transformers in the actual animation throughout the show was nothing like the intro.
1:25:15
No.
1:25:15
And you're just like, same thing with thundercats.
1:25:18
Yes, that was a banger.
1:25:21
Same thing with Thundercats, man.
1:25:23
We don't want.
1:25:23
Listen, we will not talk about Tiger Sharks, though.
1:25:35
Oh, my gosh.
1:25:37
Okay, Gary, you mentioned bravestar.
1:25:40
You remember that score?
1:25:43
I ran that on loop because I.
1:25:45
Have the hawk ear of the wolf.
1:25:51
Oh, my gosh.
1:25:52
I ran that on Lucas.
1:25:54
As you like.
1:25:55
You said the.
1:25:55
The instrumentalism of that music was undeniable because as a kid, we could hear the drums, the absolute percussion, the wind synthesizers.
1:26:05
And you felt that because it's like you knew this cartoon was gonna be everything 100.
1:26:12
Another thing, Jason.
1:26:14
The Wheel Warriors.
1:26:15
Oh, let's go.
1:26:19
Nothing like a pot.
1:26:20
Nothing like a power ballad.
1:26:22
I will say that right now.
1:26:25
Hence why that transfer movie will always stick with us.
1:26:27
You hear?
1:26:27
You got the touch, you immediately start crying, man.
1:26:31
What?
1:26:32
Must be stopped.
1:26:34
No matter.
1:26:35
Mal has a question.
1:26:36
He says, have you heard of Andre Dusa?
1:26:39
That's his bigger.
1:26:40
His older brother.
1:26:40
He's a martial artist and stun man as well.
1:26:44
What's his name?
1:26:45
Andre Dusa.
1:26:47
I have not.
1:26:48
What?
1:26:48
What?
1:26:48
What?
1:26:49
Did he.
1:26:49
Did he do any productions with me or what was he in?
1:26:52
I'm not sure.
1:26:53
He didn't say.
1:26:54
Okay, cool.
1:26:56
But, I mean, I'll definitely keep an eye out.
1:26:58
For sure.
1:26:59
Yeah.
1:27:00
Always looking to meet new people.
1:27:02
Trey says Centurion.
1:27:04
So is it Adobe opening?
1:27:05
Yes.
1:27:05
They do about 90 cartoons had, like.
1:27:10
I mean, shoot guitar synthesizers.
1:27:15
Oh, my God.
1:27:16
Yeah.
1:27:17
It's.
1:27:18
It's literally why I would say that a lot of 80s kids are interested, of course, More music than just.
1:27:29
Or at least inner city kids.
1:27:30
People, you know, are more interested or more interested than most people in other forms of music, like rock, metal, anything.
1:27:40
Because those cartoons were so influential, and they meant some cool was getting ready to happen.
1:27:48
Yeah.
1:27:51
My mom got on me for rewinding the GI Joe movie just because of the intro, man.
1:27:56
Right.
1:27:57
That.
1:27:57
The movie.
1:27:58
The intro to the movie.
1:28:03
I'm like.
1:28:03
We started off like this, okay.
1:28:07
You know.
1:28:09
You know when you're in a group of other nerds because you could say, you got the touch, and you hear.
1:28:13
Everybody go, you got the power.
1:28:18
You kind of.
1:28:19
When I go to the gym.
1:28:20
When I go to the gym, sometimes.
1:28:22
Well, not even sometimes I do this Every morning.
1:28:24
And.
1:28:24
And surprisingly, people say, look, I look for this.
1:28:28
When you put this in your story, when I go to the gym, I'll kick a different song, and I'll put a gif of a cartoon, and sometimes I'll use whatever song fits.
1:28:40
When Optimus prime had those boosters in his waist that nobody knew he had and transform slow motion and did that aerial shooting, all the Decepticons.
1:28:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:28:57
And so I never forget again, that.
1:29:01
Is another body positioning thing that I did.
1:29:04
He has this.
1:29:05
This elongated, like, bent knee, straight leg body positioning.
1:29:12
And I use that all the time for when I'm in the air.
1:29:15
Like, I like when he's.
1:29:17
Because it's very, very specific.
1:29:20
It's very, very specific.
1:29:21
When he.
1:29:22
When that gun first comes out, he's like, boom.
1:29:24
And this comes down his body into the position.
1:29:27
I use that when I'm on wires all the time.
1:29:30
Nice.
1:29:31
See that, Mom?
1:29:32
Cartoons wasn't trash for us.
1:29:34
It still was not.
1:29:36
Cartoons taught us so much that was.
1:29:40
More useful than calculus.
1:29:44
Oh, man.
1:29:46
You have no idea what kind of gratification I had when I went to my old algebra teacher's house when I just happened to be in, like, you know, way out.
1:29:57
Way out in Maryland somewhere.
1:29:59
And another buddy of mine.
1:30:01
Another buddy of mine's son had my.
1:30:05
My algebra teacher, and I went over to him, and I believe he's like, peoples, what the hell are you doing in my lawn?
1:30:11
I said, I just want to tell you, Coach Lindsay.
1:30:14
And he was also a football coach.
1:30:15
I just want to tell you, Coach Lindsay, remember how you said we're not gonna have a calculator in our pocket all the time?
1:30:19
I pull out my phone.
1:30:24
Nice.
1:30:27
How about that?
1:30:30
So you are living the dream.
1:30:33
You're living that dream.
1:30:35
Can be done, people.
1:30:35
It's can be done work.
1:30:37
And you've obviously the martial arts.
1:30:43
I.
1:30:45
It's so impressive, My guy.
1:30:48
Thank you so much.
1:30:49
It.
1:30:49
It is.
1:30:49
It is, massively.
1:30:50
Because that's the first thing I.
1:30:52
When I.
1:30:52
You sent me that first reel, and I'm like, okay.
1:30:55
And then I seen the size and the weight.
1:30:57
I'm like, let me run this back.
1:31:02
And I'm like, I'm.
1:31:03
Now I'm even more impressed because I'm like, once you.
1:31:06
Like you said during the show, you don't get to see that often.
1:31:11
And to go in there and say, okay, you're gonna do this and this.
1:31:14
I'm like, yeah, but I can do this.
1:31:16
And so much more.
1:31:17
When, like, you went in there for Infinity War and you wowed them, and they're just like, yeah, we'll see you tomorrow.
1:31:26
See them up.
1:31:27
Yes.
1:31:28
So it's.
1:31:30
It stands a question, like, you know, for the people that are listening or watching.
1:31:33
Even Jojo, he was like that.
1:31:35
That's an inspiration for people to say, like, you can go, Pat.
1:31:40
Go Beyond Plus Ultra.
1:31:42
It's.
1:31:43
It's there.
1:31:46
So.
1:31:46
But yo, you are managing to do.
1:31:49
You and the entire Stunt POC team are really showing what it's like to go out here and not just look after each other, but inspire other people to go and go beyond the distance and do more and be
1:32:04
more impressive.
1:32:05
And we have a kid here who literally says, I'm gonna do that.
1:32:11
That's.
1:32:11
That is going to be me, you know, and to walk away and have that kind of impact.
1:32:19
You don't.
1:32:20
You don't like that.
1:32:23
That does something for me now that I didn't say earlier, but that pushes me more than anything else.
1:32:34
Like, right there in that moment, I was like, whatever it is that I thought that I couldn't do is over from that right there.
1:32:44
Because your daughter.
1:32:46
And, you know, I have a daughter, too.
1:32:48
She's seven.
1:32:48
But, you know, and there's, you know, eventually, you know, your.
1:32:52
Your own kids look at you, and they're just like, oh, that's just my dad.
1:32:56
He just does this kind of stuff for.
1:33:01
For.
1:33:01
For.
1:33:02
For somebody else's child to go be like, you know that.
1:33:05
And then you get to listen to that.
1:33:07
And that's what we're always talking about is visibility and representation and somebody saying that that means that I could.
1:33:18
That this is possible for me also.
1:33:20
So, young lady, with all of your strength and courage and charisma, you have now motivated me to go forth and do better and do more.
1:33:30
So thank you for that.
1:33:35
Good job, Jojo.
1:33:41
Orange belt on karate.
1:33:43
Oh, you got an orange belt.
1:33:45
What's next after that?
1:33:46
Is.
1:33:46
Is purple next?
1:33:48
No, I'm gonna be green belt.
1:33:50
Green belt.
1:33:50
Okay, cool.
1:33:51
So wait, did they change it?
1:33:52
Is.
1:33:53
It is.
1:33:54
It is yellow before orange now.
1:33:58
Okay, so after that is green.
1:33:59
Okay, cool.
1:34:00
Yellow, Orange, Green.
1:34:03
Purple.
1:34:03
I think brown.
1:34:05
Okay.
1:34:06
Brown.
1:34:07
So blue.
1:34:08
Yeah.
1:34:08
Blue.
1:34:09
Purple.
1:34:09
I will.
1:34:10
I will tell you this.
1:34:11
Once you get to your black belt, that is not the end.
1:34:15
That is the beginning.
1:34:19
My God.
1:34:21
I love.
1:34:22
I love when we have dope guests.
1:34:24
I love it.
1:34:27
What'd you say, man?
1:34:28
Yeah, can you explain that?
1:34:29
Like, there's more once you get your black belt.
1:34:32
That is.
1:34:32
That is.
1:34:33
That is not the beginning.
1:34:34
That is not the end.
1:34:35
That's the beginning.
1:34:36
There is.
1:34:37
There's so much more.
1:34:38
Because a lot of people just like, oh, I just want to get my black belt.
1:34:41
I just want to get my black belt.
1:34:42
Once you get your black belt, that means that you now have the.
1:34:47
The tools to learn things from other people that have been doing this now forever.
1:34:55
That's a drop in the bucket.
1:34:58
Like so.
1:34:59
In kung fu, we have sashes.
1:35:02
And my black sass test took two days.
1:35:09
Two days.
1:35:10
And I had to fight like all the other kung fu teachers in the area with a 15 wide light bulb that couldn't see much.
1:35:22
They pledged you like.
1:35:26
They sent my man through the gauntlet.
1:35:28
It was like, you gotta go to the school.
1:35:32
And the funny thing was, they didn't have.
1:35:35
And it's not like they all had the same style.
1:35:37
Like, there was all different styles of stuff.
1:35:40
Wasn't the style that I learned.
1:35:41
It was they, like, you know, some people had learned Hung Guard, just Tiger Crane and, you know, Choi Le Font.
1:35:48
There's all different kinds of stuff, you know, so it's not just Northern versus Northern.
1:35:51
It's Northern versus Southern, Southern versus Southern, all this other stuff.
1:35:54
You literally have to adapt on the fly.
1:35:57
And so what they would do is they would come in, do some stuff.
1:36:01
You hit you in the face a little bit, then back up, and then somebody else is coming.
1:36:04
Oh, yeah, you got jumped in.
1:36:13
Yeah, got jumped in.
1:36:15
Ladies and gentlemen, the kum.
1:36:18
They don't.
1:36:19
They don't do that kind of stuff anymore, Jojo.
1:36:22
I promise.
1:36:30
But here's the thing, Jojo.
1:36:32
If they did, you could handle it.
1:36:36
You could handle it.
1:36:37
There you go.
1:36:37
10 times more than I ever could, I'll tell you, because your mama's strong, you strong, and I'm telling you, you could.
1:36:45
It would be no problem for you.
1:36:47
They are lucky they're not doing that kind of stuff no more because they'd be like, you know what?
1:36:51
Just give the school to Jojo.
1:36:56
Oh, my God.
1:36:59
Get the black eye, man.
1:37:01
Let me tell you.
1:37:02
Let me tell somebody.
1:37:03
I got a story.
1:37:05
Come on now.
1:37:06
You ain't tell me about that.
1:37:07
Mom, come on.
1:37:13
Gary.
1:37:13
I don't know if you.
1:37:14
I want to continue this conversation.
1:37:16
This is.
1:37:17
This is so dope.
1:37:18
Because we were going to talk about Peacemaker episode six, and I'm kind of like.
1:37:25
I haven't.
1:37:26
I haven't seen it.
1:37:27
My buddies worked on it, though.
1:37:30
Oh, Lord, here we go.
1:37:32
I haven't.
1:37:33
I haven't seen.
1:37:34
I unfortunately haven't seen Peacemaker at all.
1:37:37
I've been.
1:37:38
It's on my cue.
1:37:39
But, you know, my.
1:37:40
We're in Infinity War in Volume 3 of Guardians ends in the Christmas and the holiday special.
1:37:45
And look, look, you're already.
1:37:48
You're just like, look, I'll try.
1:37:50
I've been to space.
1:37:53
I did go to space.
1:37:55
Yeah, A couple times.
1:37:57
Hey, let me.
1:37:58
The Guardianship was like, sitting in that ship was just as cool as seeing it on tv.
1:38:07
Like, I wasn't like, they, they.
1:38:09
You know, James Gunn asked me.
1:38:12
He was like, okay, you know, so I got in there.
1:38:13
I.
1:38:14
I hadn't seen it yet.
1:38:15
I hadn't seen the ship.
1:38:16
So I got in there, I was like, this looks just like it did in the movies.
1:38:22
Wait.
1:38:28
I had that moment.
1:38:30
I was like, oh, wait.
1:38:32
I was.
1:38:32
I was waiting for it.
1:38:33
Now I want everybody to understand.
1:38:36
Notice how he just.
1:38:37
Just kind of slid that in like.
1:38:39
James Gunn spoke to.
1:38:41
We, sir.
1:38:44
Made fun of me, man.
1:38:45
That's bad.
1:38:48
We were flying to Los Angeles to shoot that part of Guardians Christmas special.
1:38:54
That's in Los Angeles.
1:38:55
Right.
1:38:55
So we're on a.
1:38:56
This is going to sound, again, really pompous, but we.
1:38:59
They.
1:38:59
They flew us out there on a private plane, so there wasn't a lot of people on the plane, right.
1:39:03
And so they're like, we need to take some people and take them to the back so we can balance the plane so we can take off.
1:39:10
And then once we get in the air.
1:39:12
Once we get in the air, we can.
1:39:15
We can.
1:39:15
We can sit him back.
1:39:16
And he was like, jerry, go to the back of the plane.
1:39:23
I know a fat joke when I hear one.
1:39:29
That's bad.
1:39:30
He said, six back and play.
1:39:32
I said, okay, we're good now.
1:39:40
Yo, that's.
1:39:41
That's wild.
1:39:42
That is.
1:39:48
That ties into episode six just a little bit.
1:39:55
Kind of look at and go, really?
1:39:58
Really?
1:40:02
I got a question for Gary.
1:40:04
Oh, wait, I want one, too.
1:40:05
Okay, ladies first, then.
1:40:07
Fine, go ahead.
1:40:09
What was it like working with.
1:40:11
No, I'm.
1:40:12
No, can you.
1:40:16
So there is an air about James Gunn that is horrible.
1:40:20
Wholly different from all of the other directors that people talk about in Hollywood.
1:40:28
Do you.
1:40:30
James feels very family oriented.
1:40:37
Yes.
1:40:37
He's got a lot of nepotism and all that junk going on, but it's.
1:40:41
It feels like it's because he curates the people that he wants in his house.
1:40:46
Do you find that he is.
1:40:50
Oh, God, is he our only hope?
1:40:53
Obi Wan Kenobi.
1:40:59
I had.
1:41:00
Oh, I'm sorry.
1:41:01
I didn't mean to move the camera, but I had a wonderful Time working with him and everybody that was there that he brought on, let me tell you.
1:41:08
So we had a bunch of scenes on Guardians 3 with a lot of.
1:41:12
I'm talking, like, over a hundred children, all of High Evo's kids that they were making.
1:41:18
He was so kind and so sweet to all those children where I know a lot of directors would have lost their minds.
1:41:27
And he was so great to them.
1:41:29
And so his.
1:41:30
It's.
1:41:31
It's very interesting to watch how his mind works when he's shooting.
1:41:38
It might not necessarily make sense in the moment, but afterwards you're like, well, that worked in a way that I didn't think it was going to.
1:41:46
And so I remember that there was.
1:41:51
So there's a scene with High Evo and James, if you ever.
1:41:57
If you ever see this, then I apologize.
1:42:03
So there's that scene where we're.
1:42:04
Where we're.
1:42:05
Where we're.
1:42:07
We're.
1:42:08
We're jumping off of the exploding planet onto High Evo ship.
1:42:13
And something wasn't.
1:42:14
Wasn't happening with one of my other co performers, Riggs, like, there was something that he didn't like that was happening.
1:42:23
And so I was like, I'm gonna have to sacrifice myself.
1:42:26
And so I did.
1:42:27
So I did something completely crazy and completely.
1:42:30
And I just kind of made myself really silly going down there and, like, hit my knees first.
1:42:36
What I was trying to do was hit my knees first on the edge of the ship.
1:42:39
So it popped me up and saw Scorpion on the ship.
1:42:45
And it worked.
1:42:46
It worked really well.
1:42:48
And I heard him laughing in the back, and I'm like, this took the attention off of.
1:42:56
And so it worked out to where she could figure something out.
1:43:00
Now, she's a phenomenal performer.
1:43:01
I will go ahead and say that she's better than me.
1:43:03
And I had a wonderful time working with her.
1:43:05
She is always going to be my ace and hole.
1:43:07
And I tell her that all the time.
1:43:08
Or whenever I, you know, think about.
1:43:10
I'm like, hey, you're my asom hoe.
1:43:12
And it was.
1:43:13
It was always great working with her and the Nebula performer, both of them.
1:43:21
Like, stunt women do not get enough credit.
1:43:27
Minority stunt women do not get enough credit.
1:43:31
Yes.
1:43:31
Black stunt women do not get enough credit.
1:43:36
These are facts.
1:43:38
Yeah, but to answer your question, I feel like James is a hundred percent nerd and nerds and.
1:43:52
Or stunt people or nerd stunt people need to be doing more superhero movies or powered people movies, because there is a wide array of imagination that can happen.
1:44:07
And so whoever he brought on and Whoever he brings on to his other movies, for whatever reason, you know, he keeps using the same people, but they always have a light about them while they're on set.
1:44:21
And it makes for a much easier, lighter working environment.
1:44:28
This is something that I had mentioned before, when you talk about the Adam Sandlers or James Gunn is like, there's a reason why they work with a certain group of people.
1:44:43
Because it's like, this is my.
1:44:45
This is my tribe.
1:44:46
Like, I know they can do this.
1:44:48
I know they can do this.
1:44:49
I know they can do this.
1:44:51
It's not.
1:44:51
It's not really nepotism.
1:44:53
It's like, look, you know your crew, right?
1:44:56
You know, you know exactly what they're capable of doing and what they're able to pull off.
1:45:01
And.
1:45:01
And I've heard that even from James Gunn.
1:45:03
In the interview he did, he said the same thing.
1:45:05
He's like, there's this air about people, and it cultivates that.
1:45:11
That crew like that.
1:45:12
And like, look.
1:45:13
And that's why.
1:45:15
That's why I would love to see us in positions to be able to do that for each other.
1:45:21
Exactly.
1:45:22
That's what I want for us.
1:45:24
That's what I want for us in the film industry.
1:45:26
That's why, like, I'm gonna tell you, we need to see more of us, just a group of dudes that built the spaceship and we can go fight some space aliens with some lightsabers.
1:45:37
That's what needs to happen.
1:45:39
Somebody needs to be able to fly and do a side flip kick into an alien's mouth sauce.
1:45:51
I mean, this is why.
1:45:52
This is why.
1:45:52
This is one of the reasons.
1:45:54
Why.
1:45:54
This is one of the main reasons why Blurred Station was created.
1:45:57
Yes, for that.
1:45:58
For this exact reason.
1:45:59
Seeing projects that are written by us, created by us, owned by us, seen by us, and.
1:46:06
And eventually the masses.
1:46:08
Because I can't say how many times I've seen an anime or a comic or a concept from somebody that look likes us.
1:46:20
And I'm like, I would pay a crap ton of money to see that right now.
1:46:25
100%.
1:46:26
100%.
1:46:27
Riri Williams.
1:46:29
They tried to set that show on fire.
1:46:32
Fire before it came out and gave it terrible reviews.
1:46:35
But think about how many of them nut jobs wanted to get in a Gundam, right?
1:46:39
Yeah.
1:46:40
Rings will always be reams of paper.
1:46:43
That's all.
1:46:44
You get it.
1:46:45
So you.
1:46:45
That's.
1:46:46
That's literally the same thing.
1:46:47
Like, essentially you got this black girl getting into a Gundam, a Gundam she built.
1:46:56
And it took.
1:46:57
It took the blurred community to say, we haven't seen one trailer.
1:47:07
We'll do it ourselves.
1:47:10
We'll do it ourselves.
1:47:11
We'll need yourself.
1:47:12
And we do it.
1:47:13
Don't say, don't say, don't say.
1:47:15
And then not only did it come out to have really good reviews, despite what the other side was trying to do, people wanted more and they're.
1:47:30
And they're itching for more.
1:47:31
When you see a character that looks or resembles or can look like you, or can or has you that inspiration to be a tech engineer, to be a sorceress, to be a warrior, if people knew what Storm was
1:47:48
really capable of doing.
1:47:50
Right, that part.
1:47:53
We don't call her goddess just because it's a word to be playing out.
1:47:56
No, this woman's a goddess.
1:47:58
Yeah.
1:48:00
So I kind of stole the move.
1:48:04
Who's.
1:48:05
I can't remember the actress's name.
1:48:07
Who played Storm and Storm.
1:48:08
Apocalypse.
1:48:08
Where Apocalypse was Alexandria Ship.
1:48:12
Yeah.
1:48:13
Yeah.
1:48:13
So she came.
1:48:15
She came out of the lightning and did like this slide or whatever.
1:48:20
And I was just like.
1:48:21
And there was a.
1:48:23
Yeah, she did this slide into it.
1:48:25
And.
1:48:26
And I did a combination of that on this other show that I was with that I was on just a while ago.
1:48:32
And I was like, how did she do it?
1:48:34
And so there's another anime from way back in the day called eight man after.
1:48:40
Wow, let's go talking about that today at work.
1:48:45
And they looked eight Man.
1:48:47
What?
1:48:47
I said, you're heathen.
1:48:49
Yeah, you're heathen.
1:48:50
And he was fat.
1:48:51
I'm big on, like, I'm big on speedsters and eight man was a speedster.
1:48:55
I swear.
1:48:56
I swear.
1:48:56
Wachowski saw the whole bullet thing and stole it from eight Man.
1:49:00
But we're not gonna talk about that.
1:49:05
Oh, my God.
1:49:06
But so there's this slide that he did and the same thing that Storm did in that movie.
1:49:11
And I was chasing somebody and had to come to a complete stop because I was in dress shoes and these little pants that they gave me that was way too small.
1:49:19
And I'm like, I can't sprint.
1:49:21
I can't stop on a dime.
1:49:23
So I have to try to stop before I hit camera and stop right in front of her.
1:49:27
So I stole that slide from eight man and her.
1:49:30
So I did a combination between and like, stop right in front of camera.
1:49:33
And I was just like, you work.
1:49:39
Not.
1:49:40
I'm glad nobody dies.
1:49:43
So I.
1:49:44
I gotta.
1:49:44
I gotta ask you, Gary, you.
1:49:46
It is.
1:49:47
First of all, as an elder blurred, it's so awesome to see the next generation continue to do this.
1:49:53
Yes.
1:49:54
You young, because I'm 56.
1:49:55
I'm 60, so we ain't gonna do that, however.
1:49:58
60?
1:49:59
Oh, my God.
1:49:59
Yeah, I'm three years of stuff.
1:50:02
Three years shy of 60.
1:50:03
Oh, my goodness.
1:50:05
So I want to be like you.
1:50:06
When I go, don't do that.
1:50:09
I know everybody call you uncle.
1:50:10
You older brother does.
1:50:11
Don't do that.
1:50:15
Fine.
1:50:15
Fine.
1:50:16
Okay.
1:50:16
You get your Teddy Grahams back.
1:50:17
Since you were so nice anyway, with everything that you've done, have you been able to enjoy being your best blurdy self?
1:50:28
I mean, like, go to conventions or maybe have any specific hobbies as you do outside of stunt work and performing?
1:50:35
I mean, so.
1:50:37
So I love this job very much, and training for it and becoming better for it is fun for me.
1:50:51
And so they say you're not what you do.
1:50:54
And I'm like, but you wouldn't tell a marine that he's not a marine or she's not a marine.
1:51:01
You know, Like, I am a stunt performer.
1:51:04
I love being a stunt performer.
1:51:07
So I am that.
1:51:09
And I earned that.
1:51:11
Like, I earned it.
1:51:13
So, I mean, I do enjoy, you know, think I have a motorcycle, you know, and I paid for it with Infinity War money.
1:51:21
And so the license says AVN G E R Avenger.
1:51:25
Because that.
1:51:26
That it was real for me.
1:51:30
I.
1:51:30
I hate to interrupt you, but I gotta ask.
1:51:32
What.
1:51:32
What motorcycle do you have?
1:51:33
Just because I'm a fan.
1:51:35
It's a ZX14R stretched 18 inches.
1:51:38
And it's got Avengers in the swing arm.
1:51:40
And the swing arm glows.
1:51:42
Look at Spartans in love.
1:51:53
I was like.
1:51:56
I guess.
1:51:56
I guess Kelly's gonna sleep on the couch tonight.
1:51:58
I don't know.
1:52:04
2016 special edition matte gray.
1:52:08
Nice.
1:52:09
Oh, that sounds cool.
1:52:11
Ass color, too.
1:52:13
Well, anything in that is cool.
1:52:15
See?
1:52:15
See, Lady Mandalore's face says it all right there.
1:52:27
Every once in a while, her.
1:52:29
Her thing just freezes.
1:52:31
But that was perfect.
1:52:32
That was perfect.
1:52:35
It was perfect.
1:52:39
Oh, my God.
1:52:40
That is a beautiful machine, though.
1:52:42
I was like, that's awesome.
1:52:43
Thank you.
1:52:43
Thank you so much.
1:52:44
I love that thing too.

You go with these three and blow everybody's mind.
1:53:52

Thank you.
1:54:04
Bless you.
1:54:05

I promise I'll make it up to you in another life.
1:58:42
At least you tried.
1:58:44
I did try.
1:58:44
It's not bad.
1:58:45
It's just.
1:58:46
I can't.
1:58:46

1:58:48
I need action.
1:58:49
I don't know what I'm gonna be playing next.
1:58:50
It might be Harry Potter or something else.
1:58:54
I don't know what it is.
1:58:55
But it's on the floor right now.
1:58:56
Which means it's gonna get played because that's not where it belongs.
1:58:59
That is Saturdays, 10am I also be hanging out at new Blurred Order.
1:59:08
Yeah, that's it.

1:59:15
Our very own queen of poor Geek by Heart with many Geek by Heart.
1:59:21
Thank you, Gary, once again for coming on because absolutely.
1:59:26
Talk about you.
1:59:26
She's like whispering in my ear at times, like, hey, ask me this.
1:59:31
So you made, you made an impact.
1:59:34
Thank you so much.
1:59:36
Yeah.
1:59:38
Hello everybody.
1:59:39
I am deep by heart.
1:59:40
Me and my husband Rungy by heart.
1:59:42
You, you can find us at Geek by heart on YouTube, Instagram, Twitch and Tick Tock.
1:59:47
Not sure how long for Tick Tock though.
1:59:50
I am, I am streaming F and right now it should be Thursdays and Sundays, Thursdays around 6 because then I can actually get off right around 8, 8:30 and be able to calm myself.
2:00:06
To go to bed.
2:00:06
And then Sunday is probably more damn reason because it really does take about Two hours for me to calm the hell down.
2:00:19
Whoopi freaking do our nails.
2:00:23
I'm gonna keep it brief.
2:00:24
You can find me either here or on Tick Tock at Whoopi freaking Do.
2:00:28
And it's my favorite time of the year when it comes to nail creation.
2:00:31
So for your spooky, nerdy nail needs.
2:00:35
Oh.
2:00:42
Nice.
2:00:44
All right, all right.
2:00:45
Yo, that gives me like, Beetlejuice vibes.
2:00:49
Yeah, don't say it two more times.
2:00:55
Oh, she got the Beetle juice.
2:00:56
She got the beetle juices.
2:00:58
Okay, three times.
2:01:00
Okay, three times.
2:01:01
Great, great.
2:01:02
We're doomed.
2:01:03
Okay.
2:01:04
Merchandise.
2:01:07
My brother, Navy Montel, ladies and gentlemen.
2:01:11
Boys and girls, Blurs of all ages.
2:01:13
Good evening, good morning, good afternoon.
2:01:14
It is I, Navy Montel, your frosty, bearded Blur the Corn, here with the crew that knows what to do.
2:01:19
Gary, it has been an honor and a privilege, my man, to have you here.
2:01:23
Trust me, this, this, this brings back all the good vibes.
2:01:27
And hopefully young people understand that what you see now has is not always.
2:01:32
You got to take a little bit trip back in time.
2:01:34
Anything but.
2:01:36
You want to know what I'm up to?
2:01:37
I have my show back.
2:01:38
The Blur the Corn combos on Friday evenings.
2:01:41
I don't know who my guest is going to be yet, but I'm impromptu because I make it fun.
2:01:44
We talk about anything.
2:01:45
Geek and nerd with the guests about their journey, our journey.
2:01:47
We have a fun.
2:01:48
Also, I get to hang out with this lady right here.
2:01:52
Lady Mandalore.
2:01:52
A room full of Blur every Sunday at 7:00.
2:01:56
As.
2:01:56
As we talk about everything.
2:01:59
Comic and geeky.
2:02:00
Yes.
2:02:00
I'm gonna do my homework, so don't you bring me out there like that.
2:02:02
Okay?
2:02:02
I'm a panelist now.
2:02:03
Don't do that.
2:02:07
Very important person.
2:02:08
And I'm getting back into my streaming on Twitch.
2:02:11
It'll be on Sunday right after the show.
2:02:18
Everything else, huh?
2:02:21
I said you went out for a hot.
2:02:22
Okay, now you're back.
2:02:23
You went for a dive and came.
2:02:25
Right back up this conversation.
2:02:27
You about to be fired.
2:02:28
Okay, If I can't say nothing else and.
2:02:33
And Gary definitely gave me inspiration for this.
2:02:36
Dedicate yourself to what you love.
2:02:38
Let nothing stop you, and motivate yourself to know that what you're doing has a purpose.
2:02:43
What you're doing has longevity.
2:02:45
If you're doing something positive, somebody's watching you.
2:02:49
Somebody's listening to you, and you're giving them the motivation to keep going.
2:02:53
So keep pressing, don't stop.
2:02:55
Especially if you're a blurred.
2:02:56
They always put us behind the eight ball.
2:02:58
We shot that into the corner.
2:03:00
We win every time.
2:03:03
And now where's the organ music when you need it?
2:03:05
Don't do it.
2:03:07
Don't do it.
2:03:26
I knew it.
2:03:30
And I thank you.
2:03:31
And I thank you captain.
2:03:32
I thank you.
2:03:34
A word.
2:03:34
A word was given that the invitation song with organ music need to follow after afterwards but oh I guess it's my turn.
2:03:41
Black score Spartan 615 is where you can find me Gary.
2:03:44
Again thank you because inspirational and you like I said after this I'm working out so you didn't get.
2:03:52
I was.
2:03:53
I was looking for.
2:03:53
I was looking for something that that dragged my ass in on the gym.
2:03:56
And that was it.
2:03:57
So again thank you for that and.
2:04:00
Your time and again we appreciate it.
2:04:03
Outside of what's going on with me guys, I covered all the mess that's.
2:04:06
Going on with the world.
2:04:07
How the we got here every Wednesday at 8:30ish of course myself, Tafara and Joe will cover what has happened at the Tokyo Game show and Tokyo Game show state of play and Microsoft's exhibits if you call them and
2:04:22
EA purchases by a certain group.
2:04:26
I say on here but you can.
2:04:28
Catch us on get bit every Friday 8:30ish as well.
2:04:32
I'm also streaming as well.
2:04:34
Still doing Hollow Knight because yes we die a lot.
2:04:37
Yes I do comedy and yes it's fun to play.
2:04:40
We're trying to wrap this up because Ninja Gaiden 4 is coming out very soon.
2:04:44
So I'm hoping to finish this before we get to 4.
2:04:48
Same underscores also on Twitch.
2:04:51
Rules still apply folks because cons are still going out there.
2:04:54
Rule number one, respect the cosplayer.
2:04:56
Cosplay is not to going consent.
2:04:57
Please treat me like please treat people like human beings.
2:04:59
It's not that freaking hard.
2:05:00
Number two, hygiene is important.
2:05:03
Please wash your ass soap and things of that nature are still available that can be found everywhere even when going to a gym.
2:05:09
Cologne and perfume are not bath soap replacements.
2:05:12
Why in the world would you put this on before coming to a gym?
2:05:15
Because funk and perfumes will have an everlasting battle and the funk will always win.
2:05:20
Again, hygiene is important and the third rules that I have for myself is that everybody else when it comes to fandoms and things that nature talk share, discuss your fandoms, don't be a dick.
2:05:32
And we'll all be cool.
2:05:36
This has been great.
2:05:40
This ship has been rolling smoothly tonight.
