- 1:49We got a very special episode. It feels like it's been a while
- 1:53since we've been here here last week, we're here last week. Okay,
- 1:56it just honestly, we we've literally been out every week. I mean,
- 2:01I don't know. It just feels like, you know, it's been a
- 2:04minute since I've seen you. I'm not sure you know what it is.
- 2:06You know, I know we were supposed to attend a certain movie screening tonight
- 2:10that we you know, unfortunately we couldn't make it. Too shout out to
- 2:13those people who invited us to that, you know, sorry about that's right,
- 2:16just put us out there. We didn't have to mention it at all.
- 2:19I mean I said a certain one, you know, I didn't say
- 2:21that, you know we went to this one or that one. It was
- 2:23just a certain one. And also, who knows what night we recorded this.
- 2:27You know, that's a multitude of nights that this should have been recorded
- 2:30on there we go, so, you know, shout out to y'all.
- 2:35You know, sorry, we can't make it. I had a contract at
- 2:37my house of Dascy. That's seriously, that was what was going on.
- 2:39Are you doing something in there? Are you knocked down walls? What you
- 2:43doing? No, not yet, we were just getting some lights for place.
- 2:46It's been a long time coming. Actually, that ship a squirrel in
- 2:51our roof. Squirrel. Okay, I'm thinking you in there building a danger
- 2:53room or something. Not yet, no once, not yet, coming soon.
- 2:58But no, we did have we I mean the scroll on our roof
- 3:00for a little while was our own version of a danger room. That was
- 3:04the Brooklyn Ass dangerom because going in that bathroom where the squirrel wasn't happening was
- 3:07a danger room. Well was it coming down? And like no, it
- 3:12was just it was the potential reality of it. You know, the noise
- 3:16that a squirrel mates when it's trapped in your roof or not trapped, when
- 3:22it's living in your roof, scratching noise is kind of like there's there.
- 3:25I have actually some of them on video. There are noises that I did
- 3:30not know what was going on, but I would go up, you know,
- 3:32put the video next to my bathroom ceiling so I could kind of you
- 3:37know, I wanted other people to be to hear this, but I've never
- 3:38shown anyone because it's terrifying. I think one of the girls. I'm not
- 3:45sure you know exactly what was going on, but there was some type of
- 3:49battle going on up there, and it was not good or it's life.
- 3:53It was probably stuck in some that or some ship, what the fuck,
- 3:57But I don't know. I think it was two of them. And right
- 4:00now, the thing is, we've since patched a hole up and the squirrel
- 4:02no longer can get into our roof, but I still see the squirrel and
- 4:08they've now made a home on one of my neighbor's roofs and in you know,
- 4:11inside of their house. So you're like, fuck them. They can
- 4:15deal with it. They gotta deal with that one friand we had to deal
- 4:17with it. Now you gotta deal with it, you know, keep on
- 4:19Sorry, sorry, excellent. Yeah, I wasn't gonna murder the squirrel or
- 4:23anything. Okay, I was over in l A. I went to rolling
- 4:27loud. I don't even know. Yeah, I gave it. I gave
- 4:32it, like a B minus C. I actually the Miami Rolling Loud is
- 4:39better for me. The best performance by far was Big Seawan. Big Sean
- 4:45did his thing like would never expect to hear that? What you would think
- 4:49that? But like, here's my my issue. Like I go to most
- 4:53of the festivals, so I you know, for many years now, so
- 4:57I have a like an understanding of house and also loving music right and understanding
- 5:01production and stuff like that. And it's a few things that tend to happen
- 5:06at festivals unfortunately, especially when it's artists that you want to see. I
- 5:12don't know whether it's just like a fuck you to the fans or I'm an
- 5:16artist and I'm sensing them by my shit. I want to do it what
- 5:18I do. The set lists, the choices. A lot of times the
- 5:23choices in the set lists do not reflect what people actually want to hear.
- 5:27I also understand that artists tend to use things like festivals to test out their
- 5:31new shit or let people hear it. But it's just like I've also seen
- 5:34instances where artists do whole sets of new shits, and it's just like I
- 5:40did not just pay hundreds and really thousands if you count and like travel and
- 5:45hotel and all that stuff. I didn't pay all this money to hear you
- 5:47fucking you know, singing to a fucking drum like I wanted to hear you.
- 5:54I want to hear some classics. If you want to do some new
- 5:56shit, throw it in there, or do some vibe, like a song
- 6:00that we all know and love, but you remixing it, you putting it
- 6:03into a new beat, you doing some live instrumentation on stage, like give
- 6:08me something, give me something live. Instead, it's always something weird and
- 6:15like I said, it's weird or it's just like you're just doing stuff like
- 6:17why would you not play your most HYPEUS song or why would you not play
- 6:21the songs that your supporters really want to hear? And I understand like sequencing
- 6:28as well, like maybe you don't want to open with your biggest banger,
- 6:30maybe you want to end that way when you want to throw it in the
- 6:31middle. There's reasons. I get it. It's just that when you just
- 6:35to me squander that time, I'm like, Okay, that wasn't worth me
- 6:43being here, but thanks anyway. But yeah, Big Sean he was.
- 6:46He had the best, absolute best set out of anybody, just in terms
- 6:49of just being well rounded, playing what the fuck we wanted to hear,
- 6:53and also being just being a good performer. And he made you He kept
- 7:01people entertained, you understand, and that's the other part. And some of
- 7:05them like would do well with entertaining people, but then you know, then
- 7:09it got repetitive, and you know, it was all right. I did
- 7:12also enjoy a couple of other performances, like I liked Big X the Plug.
- 7:15I liked some of the newer artists that were there. Don Tolliver was
- 7:23was all right. I did. The very last set was metro Boom in
- 7:26the Future. They brought out a few people. I mean, I absolutely
- 7:31love metro Booming, like he can do no wrong when it comes to music
- 7:35in my eyes. But like I said, like it was it was some
- 7:39up and downs there, and up and downs in terms of like the festival
- 7:43itself, how it was laid out, stuff like that. But generally I
- 7:46had a good time. So that's why I said, like the minus sometimes
- 7:48to see it's pretty low, and I mean I've had better experience, sure
- 7:57obviously, so ship I sound like I had a better experience last year when
- 8:00I went to some fest in Jamaica. I would do that, like,
- 8:03yeah, I would do that like a B plus. And I only would
- 8:07did that a B plus and out of A because I fucked up the first
- 8:09night and then buy a chair and some you know, the chairs only that
- 8:13twenty bucks. But some fest goes till you know, God knows, so
- 8:18bring photo chairs. Yeah, and everyone has one because once again, it
- 8:22goes till God knows. Like we got there like midnight, and Nigga wasn't
- 8:26like you know, it wasn't even like Jamaican, so hey, you know
- 8:30what it is, So it wasn't you're like, I mean, by the
- 8:33time I left the first night, I didn't see any major acts. It
- 8:37was still nothing but opening acts. I said, they don't come to like
- 8:39three in the morning. Yeah. So the second night we had our chairs
- 8:43and we was all good. And I saw all kind of cats that night.
- 8:46So that was you know, that was so now that I know about
- 8:48some fests, Oh yeah, if I went again, I'll just bring folding
- 8:52chairs because you know, you got the trees. It's plentiful. It's beautiful.
- 8:56So oh shout outs to two Rare two Rare set was really really funny.
- 8:58They they they were on the smallest stage. You know, there was
- 9:01three stages, you know, the big main stage like that's where Big Sean
- 9:03and Future and all the muzz on. Then get the little middle stage where
- 9:07you have people like that Mexican Ot. I liked his set. I liked
- 9:11that Mexican Ot. I think that that NIGGI excuse me, he's not nigga,
- 9:16but I think he could rapka and you know, people like that,
- 9:18like Big Guest was there. But then the smallest stage, to call it
- 9:22the Culture King stage. That's when you had like more of the up and
- 9:24comers and they have the smallest amount of people there. They at mostly maybe
- 9:28had fifty people there right, maybe a little bit more, but people were
- 9:31into it and I and I wanted to see them, like I knew about
- 9:35them. I just went over there and watched it and it was fun.
- 9:37And that's why I'm like, that's the problem when the artists get bigger,
- 9:41something like just forget to have fun sometimes and just extend that school was watching.
- 9:46Who was whack? Yeah, well the thing the people who were whack.
- 9:52I don't even think I was there for it, Like, you know,
- 9:54there was somebody whack because you you you wouldn't give it a you know,
- 9:56see, if there wasn't somebody, well I think like WoT like it
- 10:01wasn't enough. Oh, let me back up. It was a big artist
- 10:07who failed. So this is this is my problem. This maybe four weeks
- 10:13ago, this didn't exist, but there there was. It's usually only three
- 10:16days. They added a fourth day, which was Thursday, and I we
- 10:22we moved our entire schedule to get there an extra day early. When I
- 10:26say the time, schedule, flights, hotel, everything to C to c
- 10:31O yay and tie dollar sign oh ship did they even show? What did?
- 10:39Professor X said? Maybe not in the physical but men in the metal
- 10:43physical And I say that to me, these niggas were kind of physically there,
- 10:50and yes, their presence, their body was there. Got a question
- 10:54your judgment for moving to CEA. Maybe I wanted to see it because she
- 11:01liked the Vultures album. I liked the Voters album and I've heard it was
- 11:03good. I just can't believe it. I don't think you should believe it.
- 11:07I love music. I want to see that nigga live because, first
- 11:09of all, the last few times I have been through Loud, he was
- 11:13supposed to just be there naturally and like either didn't show up or show or
- 11:16when somebody else said that, I wasn't even at So I was like,
- 11:18no, I'm gonna see this right. Fuck it. And you know why
- 11:22because it was quote unquote free because I have three a pass so it was
- 11:26nothing extra have to do besides just be there. So I was just like,
- 11:30fuck it, why not? So that's by the way I went about
- 11:33it. But when I say these niggas did absolutely nothing, they gave nothing.
- 11:39They literally did not perform. It was as if we were at a
- 11:43listening party. They rolled them out to the time to build a whole new
- 11:48stage, separate stage in the middle of every goddamn thing, just for him
- 11:52and in time. And when I say they had on there all black in
- 11:56the mask and did nothing, I saw as we I'll be sure it was
- 12:00them because they actually took off his mask. Okay, So I was sorry,
- 12:03fine, And that's funny because that was the one thing we said,
- 12:07we said, that's not really them niggas, So that was the first thing
- 12:09was mad about. Then, as I'm coming up, I'm listening to the
- 12:11playback. I only hear playback. I don't hear feedback from the mics.
- 12:16I don't hear voices echo wing, even people saying hey yo Roland, laud
- 12:20la la la. I don't hear none of that. I just hear the
- 12:22playback. So I'm like, maybe it's just me. As I'm getting closer,
- 12:26it don't get no better. And as I get close enough to really
- 12:30see these niggas, they are walking around in fucking circles, holding the mic
- 12:35to their sides while smoke billows around them. There are thousands of people just
- 12:39standing there looking dumbfounded for over an hour, and I literally stood there for
- 12:46twenty minutes. They just played that. Now they played Voltures, was all
- 12:50Voltures, but it was like a listening party without any type of performance.
- 12:54I stood there for maybe fifteen twenty minutes and said, fuck this shit and
- 12:58went over to the merch line because I was so fucking pissed. Then within
- 13:03I don't know, twenty thirty more minutes, they was done, and then
- 13:05their DJ started playing Kanye songs. Damn, I'm the saying people, I
- 13:13want to know what them to see right now. No, so if you
- 13:16want to talk about people who fucking just yeah, it's wasted my time.
- 13:20Expected they're sorry, no shots, but yeah, pretty much expected at this
- 13:24point in his career, wasting your time role said perform. That's why I
- 13:30was just like, Okay, at least he's gonna yell a little bit,
- 13:31and my nigga cadn't even give that decency to do that. I can't lie
- 13:35like I like the drummer Freddy Gibbs, you know, because Jibbs chills it
- 13:39and the hook is hilarious, hilarious. Ye yeah. But when he did
- 13:45that listening party and North was on stage with him, but she's on the
- 13:48song let me finish an these caroal blast lyrics, you know about all kinds
- 13:52of shit. You know, it's just being art of the speakers. It's
- 13:58like, I don't here. Kanye cannot wrap at all anymore like he is.
- 14:03I was as but ass, like butt ass, like I'll never forget
- 14:09what he called dropped. Father stretched my hands and I was sitting. We
- 14:15talked about it on that other trouble you know, get real quick, and
- 14:18I was the same thing. I told my boy, like this one of
- 14:20the greatest songs I've ever heard. And then this nigga started rapping and it's
- 14:24ever ever and this niggas started rapping ass, So I'm not That's why I
- 14:28say I wasn't. I'm not even looking for Donda. But anyway, moving
- 14:31on, Sorry they were not sorry, not sorry, Sorry I made that
- 14:37mistake never again. Yeah, all right, now all some other real quick
- 14:41pop culture news that popped off Beyonce. Ain't nobody finding it beyond you know,
- 14:48I got to say that every time dropped. I guess this is the
- 14:52cover or one of the covers for This is the cover of Cowboy Carter.
- 14:56This is Act two of Renaissance. So this is the official this is the
- 14:58cover. This is the cover for the album. There's gonna be another one
- 15:01where she dressed up in the red, black and green. I don't know
- 15:05it could be. First of all, this is Beyonce. She's gonna have
- 15:07triple, quadruple quintumples drops that she wants. But this is this is the
- 15:13for the album coming out in what nine days? So wow? Well,
- 15:18yeah, she dropped a cover where she is dripped out, draped out in
- 15:22the American flag. Yeah, she wearing red, white and blue and then
- 15:26has a big ameriage she's holding big matter of fact, because it's reminists of
- 15:28the rodeo. I already showed the pictures of a young black woman who is
- 15:33at the rodeo. Yeah, you know how they walk in with the colors
- 15:37and you know the color guard. As a Houstonian, you know who grew
- 15:41up in you know, Houston, Texas in Third War Beyonce's neighborhood, and
- 15:46you know, attended the rodeo multiple times. It is what it is,
- 15:48you know, it's a big part of Houston. I still was like that
- 15:54ship wat Yeah. I mean I can understand, especially as a black person
- 15:58that that's not like Kennus owns, but especially as the black person in this
- 16:03country, that you're gonna have a knee drink reaction to seeing that, Like
- 16:06especially being Beyonce, you know, especially because she she represents this ideal for
- 16:11a lot of people. And then it's just like, oh, but your
- 16:14dripp out in American flag? My thing is this? I feel like this
- 16:15There's so many different things going on. One obviously it's purposeful, right,
- 16:19It could be in my head, it could be one of the ways to
- 16:22interpret it. It could be a fuck you, a fuck you to everyone
- 16:25who never, as she had said in her posts, are ig for it
- 16:30that the people who did not let her make her feel welcome or and made
- 16:33it clear that she wasn't welcome in quote unquote their space, which is really
- 16:37our space because we made country music, right, we originated that shit,
- 16:41so all music that too, but a fuck you right just to say,
- 16:45look, you know I'm doing this shit. I'm taking this shit. She
- 16:48has the number one on the Hot Country Singles Chart, you understand. And
- 16:52I don't know how many weeks it's been or it's only been one week.
- 16:56This like ther biggest song since this right, it's like her second biggest song
- 17:03ever. It might be her biggest song ever. Now. Also from that
- 17:06caption of sheet that I just quoted, people were saying, yo, that's
- 17:10a reference to what happened at the CMT Awards years back when she did the
- 17:15song with the Chicks and there was all that ah from people talking about,
- 17:19oh, she not country and she shouldn't have been there, and also them
- 17:22people also didn't like the chicks too so because they didn't like them talking about
- 17:25George Bush and all the other stuff. So they was just mad at the
- 17:27whole situation. And as I said, a black woman sitting there doing country,
- 17:32so for her in one way, of interpretation is look, I am
- 17:37this, I am America, I am everything. And I even love what
- 17:41she said. She went on, she said, this is not a country
- 17:44album. This is a Beyonce album. Do you know what kind of bit
- 17:48you have to be to be your own fucking genre? Okay, and that's
- 17:52what I fucking love about, like the audacity because she can't because she does
- 17:56and she did, and that's fine. Also just from general aesthetics, like
- 18:03you want to look at a very surface level, she's a she's a cowboy
- 18:06Carter. Okay, what if cowboy cowboy is one of the greatest American exports
- 18:10and that that's that's even to this day they see a cowboy overseas, you
- 18:14think that must be an American. That's what America stands for. So of
- 18:17course the fucking flag is going to be there. On that note, real
- 18:19quick shout out to d Chic a Leo who always used to point out on
- 18:23Fall Nerds, this is true facts more than one in three cowboys for black
- 18:29more than one in three. So like, yeah, completely racier. So
- 18:33that's a cowboy card. I really like that title for that. Yeah,
- 18:37and that shit goes hard and like and again it's kind of surface also obviously,
- 18:42like like I said, it's fuck you, and also to piss people
- 18:45off and also to start the discourse because obviously there's gonna be people both who
- 18:48are fans and or not fans, who are going to feel a way about
- 18:52it, like why would you stand behind a flag? And this, that
- 18:55and that. But my thing is like we also it's it's a double assed
- 18:57sword because for example, and we have our athletes and they're about to be
- 19:00in the Olympics over in France. When you have our athletes and they represent
- 19:04in America and win for America more often than not, what is behind them?
- 19:07What do they wave in the American flag? You understand? And that
- 19:11doesn't take necessarily take away how they feel about black people or black liberation,
- 19:15if they're even a black liberation type person. It's just that it's this dichotomy
- 19:21that we're dealing with. And she is like the epitome of that. She's
- 19:23has platinum blonde hair on a platinum blond horse with a big as American flag
- 19:30as if she's in the you know, opening a rodeo with the color guard.
- 19:36Yeah, and I have my reservations. And then you know about Beyonce's
- 19:40politics, I guess, But like, musically, I just think Beyonce is
- 19:44one of the greatest artists ever, you know, and like the Michael Jackson
- 19:48of our time, you know, whatever you want to call it. Yeah,
- 19:49Like she's just one of the greatest things ever. So because of that,
- 19:53I really don't have much to say, you know, about what her
- 19:56politics is. I really just don't. I mean, I would like her
- 19:59to be like someone pointed out that, you know, she's never really said
- 20:06anything about Pilesti, and she's never said anything about Haiti, about anything pretty
- 20:11much. She know, Beyonce plays are very safe. That's that may be
- 20:15true, but she also the money goes too, Like the money goes where
- 20:18it goes, like that is one thing that has never that is undeniable.
- 20:22She puts the money out there, like I understand. And it's so interesting
- 20:26because people take people like Beyonce the task and I and I think it's it's
- 20:30rightful to do that. Like you say, well, you got the platform,
- 20:32da da da, but you also can dictate how people use their platform.
- 20:36She may not say anything about it in the way you want her to,
- 20:38but she's also she's the capitalist at the end of the day, she's
- 20:42using that capital to make shit happen for her people. So that's the way
- 20:47she does it, then that's the way she does it. Yeah, and
- 20:49I do do that. I mean, she has definitely empowered so many different
- 20:52black people over the years, you know, put man money into all kinds
- 20:55of people's pockets, et cetera, et cetera. And money is one thing.
- 20:57But I also someone who says, use your voice when you have it,
- 21:00So that's true. Yeah, it's just you know, you know,
- 21:03but but she and again you could you could argue about how deep she could
- 21:07have gone or didn't go when she talks about black people or other issues.
- 21:12But you know, she she she rides as far as from what I've seen
- 21:17her action, she ride for black people, Yes, and her music is
- 21:21for black people. And also I'm really proud of her for reclaiming a lot
- 21:25of themes. Like I said, the next thing she needs to do for
- 21:26part three is make a rock album. I think that's that's everyone's speculation that
- 21:30that's coming next, and I really hope so, because I want her to
- 21:33reunite with Jack White and go crazy cool, fucking crazy Jack White. No,
- 21:40no, no, fuck him there's too many other black people. Yeah,
- 21:44I don't need I don't need Jack Wright on that album. Yourself like
- 21:47that very hard? Yeah, I know, but there's so many other people
- 21:51who could do it better than Jack White is I mean, I like Jack
- 21:53White too, But no, I guess it's not mutually exclusive. You can
- 21:56have both. Me saying Jack did not mean I w wasn't think of I
- 22:00know other black persons. That's a given. I mean, niggas name is.
- 22:03Jack White likes this album, this album, he already had this chan
- 22:10That's what I'm saying, all up and down the country album too. What
- 22:12do you mean? And I'll think about about saying he rolled around with Dave
- 22:15Chapellele's talk about John Mayer. You don't confuse your white boys, bro.
- 22:22I mean they both play guitar, you know, and are both like somewhat
- 22:26talented. But you know there's also like you know, grig So of course.
- 22:32But no, you're gonna you're gonna see some incredible and I really hope
- 22:37that she has some up and coming country like black country artists. What we
- 22:41still going back to Hogway Carter. I really hope, like I think it's
- 22:45too late for her, but I want to see Tanner Adell do something with
- 22:48her. I love I love that girl. She's so fucking lit and it's
- 22:52a lot of like others that I hope that they made it to the album.
- 22:55So you think Toby is gonna be on the joint? Why I don't
- 23:00know that. No, Look to me, that's another one. You know
- 23:03me. I'm one of the biggest Toby fans, But lately his choices have
- 23:06been like country person. Damn you love this money, don't you like?
- 23:08You know? That's my well? I mean he's getting listen, he he
- 23:11he got in, he got it? Does say no, Claire want to
- 23:19do a collapse? I gotta say some things. You got all bags ain't
- 23:23good? Bad. Shout out to Cameron he said that today. You know,
- 23:27but he got six kids, five or six kids, maybe eight,
- 23:30Who fucking knows? He got kids? Fat fat every five seconds, every
- 23:37five seconds, boy, you got kids, damn it. Boys. Shout
- 23:40out to my brother who I'm not going to put their name out there right
- 23:44now, but they told me that this is how Hollywood get you every time.
- 23:45Is that the first thing they asked you is what's up with your kids?
- 23:49He's like, that's the first thing they asked you once you start opening
- 23:53doors was like, oh, so are you married kids? Listen. There's
- 23:56a lot of questionable things going on with the the personal life and stuff like
- 24:00that. But I will say his family is always there. His family is
- 24:03always with him whatever he's doing, they're there nine times out of ten,
- 24:08like a brand point. So yeah, that's his brand. But even from
- 24:11the beginning it was like that. It wasn't like he tried the kids out
- 24:15after the fact, like he started with them there. You know me,
- 24:18I've been you know, you know, like this is like from day the
- 24:23first time I heard this, I was like, this is the correct however
- 24:29questionable choices and listen, at the end of the day, are you a
- 24:33capitalist or nah? I've always been. You know, I don't know where
- 24:37I'm fall on that spectrum because I like, I love Oh, he's just
- 24:41pure, pre pure on, no question about it. Me. You know,
- 24:45I love the dough. But it's like I don't love the dough like
- 24:48that. I just don't care about Montclair. If Louis came to you,
- 24:53said Ben, I want oh god, no, no, no, I
- 24:56gotta I mean, but doesn't run man like he said, Well, but
- 25:02don't they like, weren't they like part of slavery? You know, everything,
- 25:06everything everything evil? They did it right, everything was part of somehow
- 25:12whatever. I really like Montclair now that you know, I've never had one
- 25:18of their jackets, and I always wanted, like, I don't know,
- 25:22I don't know, but the jacket show is okay. I mean, you
- 25:25put my name on a Montclair, like, come on, I might have
- 25:29you blame him now you're not blaming him so much. I don't blame Toby
- 25:32Free. He's made a lot of great music, you know what I mean.
- 25:33So, like I said, like, just like we all saying,
- 25:36I'm you know, their politics might suck to me, but I don't expect
- 25:40much more. Toby is more disappointing because I do expect a little more from
- 25:44him. You know why. I know, because said from the day one.
- 25:48Because yeah, because he's saying good ship now saying but from day one,
- 25:52he's also said I'm going to make as much money as possible. He
- 25:55never heard that. Nothing's changed, So nothing changed. Don't be surprised.
- 26:00I shouldn't be. It's my fault, just like I'm not surprised about this
- 26:03nets news right here, not at all. Oh god, so I was
- 26:10the Internet capitalism. I was the Internet and your friend Jonathan Mage's is it
- 26:17hot water? Once again? What's he got into this? What happened this
- 26:23week on Dragon Ball? This nigga? He's been now sued by Grace Stabari
- 26:30for alleged assault, battery and defamation. Now, if you remember that that
- 26:34the trial that happened before that was raised by the d A right, if
- 26:37I'm not mistaken, and he he was convicted of misdemeanors to be specific.
- 26:45But now she's come back and this is now because this is now civil because
- 26:48when you're assume people, you're talking about money at this point. But but
- 26:51for alleged battery, alleged assault, battery and defamation, nigga, nobody knew
- 26:56who you were. How can he defame you? Stop? But as you
- 27:00said, from incidents dating between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three, twenty
- 27:03twenty three is when everything popped off. Yes, different information started. Because
- 27:08it didn't it became public and you know he's election three became me the docket.
- 27:14I can't tell you specifically what they're pointing to, but she did say
- 27:18twenty twenty one, twenty twenty three, and she was a public name by
- 27:21that point. So in twenty twenty one, maybe twenty twenty two, I
- 27:26don't know how long, maybe twenty All I know is remember everything was really
- 27:30want to head last year, right, twenty twenty three was last year.
- 27:33So regardless, I'm not question about where this came from. That's what she
- 27:37wanted to do. I'm not questioning either came from this money, whatever she
- 27:42want to do. Okay, Uh, it was I the man is going
- 27:48to get sentenced next month for the trial that he was convicted of back in
- 27:52the December. Damn, it just felt like it was just yesterday. And
- 27:59you know, during this she's just talking about how like all the times where
- 28:00he was angry and you know, putting his hands on her, wow,
- 28:04and being controlling, emotional abuse, all that stuff. And I thought this
- 28:11was so interesting, this last line in this article. They were like,
- 28:14though his acting career has taken a turn following his conviction, he recently attended
- 28:18the NAACP Wars last weekend with his girlfriend making good they're still going strong.
- 28:25Yeah, huh, shout out to Megan. I mean, yeah, I
- 28:32mean, you know, I mean I wouldn't go that far, but you
- 28:34know. It's just like she definitely has held him down after the convention,
- 28:38which was something that I did not expect. Honestly, if I drawn for
- 28:42the beat, I would have said that's that would have been a wrap shortly
- 28:45after no more public appearances. Well, considering they started publicly dating during the
- 28:52fires, I wouldn't expect anything less like why wouldn't you stick with him?
- 28:56You as soon as he was in the ship, that's when she appeared,
- 29:00So I guess she like fuck it. Now I got to ride this till
- 29:03he comes back. Like bitcoin. Listen, I'm going to talk about just
- 29:07just related to get reminded me. Shout out to Dustin Ross congratulations because actually
- 29:14when I was coming back from LA, I ran into Dustin and the airport
- 29:18look at Dustin. Yes, of the friend zone, but my boy,
- 29:22I don't know what's going on. I ran into him. He was actually
- 29:26also coming back from LA because he attended the NAACP Awards. He won the
- 29:33award with him and Ebanie K. Williams for their podcast. So yes,
- 29:37I wanted to congrat so I could, you know, congratulate him person.
- 29:40But congratulations Dustin. You know we love you, and it was very nice
- 29:45it's been a minute. Yeah, birthday to Sean Price. No, I
- 29:52mean Sean Priceville. But yes, I saw your post about Sean Price.
- 29:57But yeah, stappy birthday to Hey. Hey, I know it was a
- 30:00few days ago, but happy birthday, Happy birthday to Searan Prices. With
- 30:04all the pisces in the house, can how we do? But yeah,
- 30:11okays, I just wanted to talk about something more like, okay, well
- 30:15you know a little about positive news before we take this quick break. Make
- 30:18sure I wanted. Well, let me first of all, let me thank
- 30:22everyone because we have been running this special promotion with Anyone Comics where you can
- 30:26get a signed copy of Jimmy Hendrix Purple Haze. You can still get it.
- 30:33Pre orders are still up and pre orders have been through the roof.
- 30:37So I just really really want to thank y'all because I noticed it the cheapest
- 30:41comic book you could cop. You know, it's well worth it. Today
- 30:47I actually got the pretty much finalized PDF of the book, and so this
- 30:53is my first time getting to see it all together, you know, colored
- 30:57lettered everything. I mean, intro pages, outro pages, there's like script
- 31:03to story pages with my script pages in there. One of my favorite characters,
- 31:08has some back art, some behind the scenes art from Tom Mandrake.
- 31:14He's got a bunch of other just development art in the book. There's all
- 31:18this behind the scenes matter in the book that you get along with this great,
- 31:22you know, story and graphic novel that you're coffin. So this is
- 31:26my first time seeing any of this shit. I didn't know what was actually
- 31:29making it into the book. Honestly, I had no clue. I knew
- 31:32there should be some script to art pages and shit, but I just didn't
- 31:34know what they were putting in there. So this is my first time seeing
- 31:37everything. The format is really beautiful, I mean everything about it. I
- 31:41got to see how the cover is laid out, just everything. It's a
- 31:44really it should be a really really beautiful book, you know, like I
- 31:48can't imagine shout out to Justin Prokovich to I shout out Tom all the time.
- 31:52And this is the first time I got to see Justin's colors in full
- 31:56color. Just everything that that man did, and they absolutely destroyed it,
- 32:00like they just they they it's the color. Like coloring is such an underappreciated
- 32:06job in comics because it really it makes you. It's how it leads your
- 32:12eye. It does a lot of work that people don't understand, you know,
- 32:15and so you have to be at a balance all these things with like,
- 32:20Okay, the character is dressing a purple coat like Jimmy is in some
- 32:23scenes, So how do I balance that with the backgrounds and this and that?
- 32:27And then how do I keep it to a palette that everyone can fuck
- 32:30with and them have matching colors, you know, and color theory and all
- 32:35these type of things. So shout out to Justin because they're just some absolutely
- 32:39beautiful colors in this book. Tom and Drake I talk about all the time.
- 32:44He's just a god. And then, you know, this is my
- 32:47first day when I've really read it beginning to end, you know, like
- 32:51you're gonna get to read it, and I was pretty pleased. That's an
- 32:57understatement of the year. I'm mad critical on myself, y'all. And it's
- 33:00like there's a lot of concepts and ideas in this book that I've really hope,
- 33:05you know, they're in my head and I know what I was trying
- 33:07to say, but I'm not sure if it got to the page like I
- 33:10wanted to be said. And that's probably just something I'm always going to wonder
- 33:13about until people start reading it and I get to hear what people think,
- 33:16so you know, we'll see. But there's a lot of this stuff that
- 33:21I'm very impressed with. I've said that many a time, you know,
- 33:23like, I really could think that me and Mellow have created something super special.
- 33:28I was on Twitter today like, yo, I could see this as
- 33:30an animated movie or a series. There's a When you read this story,
- 33:36it's a complete story in of itself, but there's a huge universe that we've
- 33:39created for this graphic novel. So I really hope to explore more stories in
- 33:45this universe because I think people are gonna want more stories in this universe.
- 33:50When you read it, you're gonna be like, yo, but what about
- 33:51this character and what are they doing now? Because we tell some complete stories
- 33:54with these characters. And there's Hindreds, there's Vesper and Rainer, two sisters
- 34:00who are just two of my favorite characters that I've ever created. I'm fully
- 34:04in love with these two sisters, and I really want to tell more stories
- 34:07about them. So once again, thank you all, but please everyone go
- 34:10out and pre order Jimmy Hendrix Purple Hayes. The link is always in my
- 34:15bio the at DJ Ben, I mean, on all social medias. You

- 40:46yeah, yeah, yeah, how do you feel better? I mean,
- 40:49you've seen like really hype. But then also you were confusing a lot of
- 40:52people because I know I was. You know, you put a gift of
- 40:54visiting man crying, and yeah, if people know what that gift was really
- 41:00supposed to be for then they were like, I think they would have known.
- 41:02I think it was happy tears. But yes, we're very trying about
- 41:07the greatness of someone, you know, and I know people were very scared,
- 41:10and I get it, and I think that was my intention, you
- 41:13know, because I went in a little confusion. I wanted to make sure
- 41:15people weren't, you know, knowing exactly how I was feeling. Yeah,
- 41:17I put the smiling emoji with like like the whole teeth jone light. Yeah
- 41:22you were. You were much more intentional. Yeah, I was. No,
- 41:24this ship was it's hot fire. My one reservation because I've been rewatching
- 41:31the whole original X Men right before this, and so my reservation came when
- 41:37I first saw the trailers and stuff. Was the change in animation style.
- 41:42That was my one reservation. And at first I was like, I don't
- 41:44know, because it looked it just looked too clean and too dope, honestly,
- 41:46you know, comparatively to the old ship. Well comparedly, the other
- 41:50ship was in like ninety seven, so it's like, yeah, it was
- 41:52like thirty years ago, so so the the animation available, the bailable techniques
- 42:00and technology was not there. So no, but that was just my reservation
- 42:05because I was used to the old one, you know, and I saw
- 42:07some other people saying that. Then again, once I watched it, that
- 42:09faded away instantly. That reservation without the window that you know, the ship
- 42:14was fucking beautiful. I'm mad they took away roads, pickments like. I
- 42:17can't say that. I'm quite one of those guys. I'm one of those
- 42:21guys. Look Rogue, I got a brogus disappointed. Look, Brogan is
- 42:24one of my favorite family, you know what I mean, like and it
- 42:28and it was okay. The thing is, I always thought that it was
- 42:30just that one shot, you know, the famous shot of her fetes that
- 42:32I thought that was, you know, the only one. But no,
- 42:36when you watch the retinal series Doll, she is super thick in every shot.
- 42:38It's ridiculous. So I do understand. Yeah, no, but it
- 42:44was like Rogue was thick. Okay, but did that did turn your time?
- 42:49No? That was just a quick mention. I'm just saying, do
- 42:51you know Rogue was thick and now she ain't. It's just like how mad
- 42:53Nito was old and now he is aaddy, you know, like they gave
- 42:57enough love. He looked like the least of a hair band. That man
- 43:01looks like Fabio with you know, Fabio gone gray is what man looked in
- 43:07this joint. He is pure daddy. I don't know what you're talking about.
- 43:09I don't well, I'm not There was pure S and M in that
- 43:15third episode. There was a lot going on with but I'm not use you
- 43:22as a toy was the line said. She said that to him that to
- 43:28listen, fine, whatever, I'm not checked to the mand so but what
- 43:35I have I'm always Eric. This is a side note, like it was
- 43:40interesting to see this character designed him because we you know, recently, we
- 43:44were at somewhat recently when we were at New York Comic Con, whereas that
- 43:46guy that did an amazing cosplay Magneto with the long hair, and he had
- 43:51his hair in the ponytail at first and he had it down, so it
- 43:53was just a nice precursor to see that he was wearing a classic suit though,
- 43:57but he had the long hair, the long hair rock God Magneto.
- 44:00So that's how you felt about it. When I first got into it,
- 44:05I was just like, what the fuck is this? Like it just felt
- 44:08and I was because I did not go back and watch the old episodes,
- 44:15right, I just went straight off of memory and vibes, So your memories
- 44:19and vibes are probably lying to you. I will say that too. I
- 44:22think, actually what it is, Remember, I'm very very young watching this
- 44:27stuff, like too young, it would probably be watching and understanding half of
- 44:29stuff. And when I was talking to you, like when maybe weeks back,
- 44:32months back, when I was talking to you about how I loved all
- 44:36this and the melodramatics and dah lah blah blah and it's a story for kids,
- 44:38you know your stories, and you were and you were actually usually the
- 44:42word melogimac. You were like, yo, that's just wild melodramac. You
- 44:45didn't realize how extra it was, And apparently I didn't. I just I
- 44:50just remember loving it because when this Shay came and let me tell y'all X
- 44:53in ninety seven, it is true to form when it comes to oh my
- 44:55god, that that don't the tonality is spot on. But when I when
- 45:02it opened, I said, this shit is weird, and I was like,
- 45:07what, it's a horny Wait a minute, wait a minute. This
- 45:13was the original show and that's what I mean. Well, and I guess
- 45:15that's what you're right, were I says, my memories and vibes relying to
- 45:17me, because I don't remember it being like that exactly. Like that was
- 45:24because then when I saw some older clips from the original series, I was
- 45:27just like, oh, yeah, it is say that right. So so
- 45:30so after that shock, like I said, and again, this is this
- 45:35is kid me me versus adult me just coming to terms with each other.
- 45:38And after that initial shock, war off and I said, Tatiana, put
- 45:42yourself now in the visage of this is in the this is from a nineties
- 45:45tone in perspective, this is this version of them. This is not is
- 45:50written purposefully to emulate a lot of that feeling and approach. And once I
- 45:55linked that in my head, I said, okay, bet. From that
- 45:58point on I had a great and again this this this this dire tribe and
- 46:01this this struggle I have it myself. Happened in the first episode, like
- 46:06yeah, the first maybe ten to fifteen minutes, I was like, what
- 46:07the fuck's going on? And then I said, oh yeah, I said,
- 46:10oh, kid Tati calm down, not kid Tati, but though Tati
- 46:15calm down. This is this is what kid Tati couldn't translate back in the
- 46:17day. And this is this is what it really was. And the other
- 46:21thing about it is like having just rewatched the whole joint. You know,
- 46:24for the majority, I did not finish the last season, but then I
- 46:28did watch the very last episode just so I could see how it ended and
- 46:31see where this was coming from. First of all, for everybody who hasn't
- 46:35known or hasn't watched a YouTube video, catching you up, ninety seven pretty
- 46:38much takes place like the day after the last episode ends, maybe a few
- 46:42days weeks later, day after tomorrow. Yeah, it's very short. And
- 46:46in the end of the last season, Professor edg does get shot, as
- 46:51we see in the beginning of this, and he's yeah, he's cookies right
- 46:55now. And I don't want to spoil, you know, exactly what happened
- 47:00to Profess Edge, but to the public and the world at large, he's
- 47:04dead. So it's pretty much continuing. And like you said, the tone
- 47:08is straight up purely where I feel like they even turned it up a little
- 47:14bit more. Now I can turn it up. No, no, no,
- 47:15that's that's untrue, because like I told you, Sothanna, when I
- 47:17was rewatching this ship, I'll say, yo, this ship is outrageous,
- 47:21Like no, the way this nigga moobring was crying over just Gane, I
- 47:25need you too. It was so ridiculous. Didn't it didn't read us outrageous?
- 47:30But yes, you're right, they did not turn it up. They
- 47:34might have tuned it down. And I say this people listening, as long
- 47:37as you go in with that understanding, yo, they are writing this and
- 47:40approaching it as the nineties version, then is going to make sense. If
- 47:45you come there thinking on some two thousands and later, shit, you got
- 47:49the wrong idea. And I think and what I'm saying people, and I
- 47:52can see that because people think ninety seven, they think today's level or style
- 47:55of writing. I went with new and with animation, with with with the
- 48:00old catches. I'm like, that's not what it is. I don't.
- 48:02I don't. I don't want to say that I disagree, but I don't
- 48:06think that it's okay. I think, hm, let me see how I
- 48:09put this right, Okay, I don't. I don't want to say that
- 48:13this that this isn't modern style of writing. I think it's very modern style
- 48:17of writing. I think that what people are forgetting, That's what I'm saying.
- 48:22I don't think people Once again, I think people's memories of the old
- 48:24show are just different than what it was because the old show is very modern.
- 48:29It was one of the first shows that had a continuing story orc at
- 48:32least an animation, you know, where it was like things happen like Professor
- 48:36Retz and Manito spent a whole season in the Savage Land, and every episode
- 48:39we just have a bit of their story. How the main story is happening,
- 48:44Yeah, continuity, And it ended like I said, and the continuity
- 48:47continued into this. But the melodramaticness of it is just like that's kind of
- 48:55baked into the X Men. You know. The X Men are very dramatic
- 49:00from the comics. They're very wordy, They're very much you know, people
- 49:04who always talk about their feelings and they're always stressed about being mutan. That's
- 49:07just part of the shit. So and I think the way these stories are
- 49:12told is very well done, Like in a modern fact is well I'm gonna
- 49:16okay, so I'm gonna rephrase a little bit. Maybe not modern. It's
- 49:20not written from a con It has contemporary influence, but it's more more one
- 49:29hundred, it's more deeply informed by the tone of the nineties show. It's
- 49:35more much to me, it's much more deeply informed by that. Yes,
- 49:38it has the trappings of we're in twenty twenty four, so the people are
- 49:43gonna be the people who are writing are informed by their experiences in twenty twenty
- 49:45four. Yet so clearly there's an updates there. So maybe modern is not
- 49:49the word, but it's not a contemporary feeling. It's not something that's based
- 49:53that was written. That's something that's based in this time. It's very firmly
- 49:58nineties. Yes, so I just want to make that But but that being
- 50:01said, now that we agree, I just want to make that distinction to
- 50:04people because I can see people because like I did, going to this the
- 50:07wrong way and something is something else. I'm like, no, And I
- 50:10think the thing is I think once that's going back to that your memories are
- 50:15lying to you. I think a lot of people are gonna come into this
- 50:16and think it's something that it isn't because their memories told them that this X
- 50:22Men show in the back of the day it was the greatest written thing ever
- 50:24with It wasn't. It never was, And that's why I got like,
- 50:30again, it was a hot second, when when the episode started, I
- 50:34was like, Yo, what the fuck is going on? What are they
- 50:36talking about? And why are they talking like that? But then I was
- 50:38like, oh, wait, wait, wait, no, it was one.
- 50:42It was always ridiculously overly melodramatic, but it was just like any show.
- 50:46There were some good episodes and there were some bad ones, and there
- 50:50was a lot of bad ones, honestly, and then there's a lot of
- 50:52good ones. And when they were on like a particular story art, they
- 50:55did great translations. I thought that was another thing they carried over to this
- 50:59because they translated very quickly. A lot of Inferno the trials, Yeah,
- 51:07it's the Trial of Magneto is pretty much the first episode Inferno, not Inferno
- 51:12really, but parts of Inferno. The third episode two okay, yeah,
- 51:16the first episode is more just the intro interest, the intro and catch you
- 51:21up to everything, and then the second is the trial of Magneto, and
- 51:22the third is a bit of Inferno, but just a lot of history of
- 51:28Jean Gray and maddenon Pryor compressed very well. I thought, fucking excellence.
- 51:35And I will say that that this is actually really well done. Like once
- 51:38I said, once you realize what's going on. It's actually compelling, and
- 51:44the show got better to me, like it. You know, typically you
- 51:47want the pilot episode to be the strongest, but it wasn't. Not for
- 51:51me anyway. The strongest to me was two and three, right, so,
- 51:55and that I guess that's that's a good thing because then I get that
- 51:59draws you deeper into the story. And then I was like, okay,
- 52:01this is more along the lines of what my memory was saying was, Yo,
- 52:05it's still great stories. It's still giving me soaps, it's still giving
- 52:09drama. And I fucked with that. And and again we'll stick with episode
- 52:15one right now. But like that look and feel from the original series,
- 52:19like, did you feel like they did a great job paying on mid You
- 52:22think that? And there are updates there as well and new things that they
- 52:27approached. How do you feel about that? I think it's great. Like
- 52:30I said, that was one of my big reservations was the style of animation
- 52:34that they chose for it. But then just starting with you know, we'll
- 52:37do this episode by episode, and starting with episode one first, there's the
- 52:42Marvel Animation slate where they show you know, it's like the old you know,
- 52:45the Marvel red but now says Marvel Animation. And in the background there's
- 52:49animation from Amazing Spider Man and his Amazing friends on down the line I think
- 52:54even earlier than that, to all the way up to their latest what If
- 52:58stuff. So it was, you know, dope little intro and then the
- 53:01music hit did and as soon as the music hit, then you know,
- 53:04it's that path off dog. Yeah, the dog responds. I'm like hey,
- 53:07and then they have the opening, you know, Storm and Rogue flying
- 53:13outside of the Blackbird and the logo flipping them. Yeah. I'm like,
- 53:19okay, they kept the intro, they kept the music right, but then
- 53:22I'm noticing the changing animation. I see Storm got the mohawk and she's flying
- 53:24around, and then they do the little intro shots and I'm like, oh,
- 53:30this is dope, because yeah, but they're just updated animation. It's
- 53:34all the same moves and everything, Yeah, just cleaner, and it's all
- 53:37dope. And then Bishop's added in the beginning and MorphOS added in, so
- 53:40I'm like, okay, that's dope, so dope, and then so right
- 53:45away I'm pretty much feeling it. And then the Friends in Humanity showed up
- 53:47and i've been if you watched the first one, they are I didn't realize
- 53:52how heavy they were because said heavy. Oh they were heavy in the first
- 53:58series. Oh they were like when they showed up in the comics was kind
- 54:02of the time I stopped reading comics for especially Edgemond for a second. So
- 54:06I didn't give a shit about them. Honestly, I always thought the Friends
- 54:07of Humanity because there's always some niggas who hate mutants, and I just thought
- 54:12the Friends of Humanity was a corny name. And it's even more hilarious now
- 54:15because now just was like, fuck out out of here. And it's like
- 54:17they just run around saying fuck out of here to everyone. And it's even
- 54:21funnier because like they are saying fuck out of here to the mutants. They
- 54:23are so like fits, fits perfectly. But I just never gave a shit
- 54:28about them. I never gave a shit about grating Creed, who is saber
- 54:30to Son and the leader of them. I just never gave about anything.
- 54:35Out of here. It's still whack. There's still ninety seven series are still
- 54:38whack. They got the whole mega man guns on their arm. This shit
- 54:43was funny. But I was super happy to see Roberto da Costa not in
- 54:49brown I would like him to be, but you know, the accent was
- 54:52heavy, you know, the brownskin, the curly hair was there. And
- 54:55he's not the super confident Roberto da Costa of later years. He is still
- 55:00super young, super green, but still had to fly. Yeah, let
- 55:05you know, let Shorty know I'm rich, single, you know all that.
- 55:07And the jet. Yeah, I got the jet. You know,
- 55:09I can let you fly sometimes got the pjah Yeah, so I was.
- 55:14I mean, Roberto was beautiful and that was brazee because he's one of my
- 55:17favorite characters. Got him on the shelf over here. He shines and that's
- 55:21been red if you ever read that. But yeah, I've been a Roberto
- 55:23fan since New Mutants Fallen Angels. You know, we can go back like
- 55:28that's my dog. So yeah, and then the costuming is a little bit
- 55:32different too, some of for some or most, the costuming is a little
- 55:38bit different. Yeah, did there's slight updates there, And like you mentioned,
- 55:44like the biggest one for me was obviously Storm and the fact that she
- 55:46doesn't have that full men of hair anymore. She still got the long ship
- 55:50going on, but she got the mohawk to actually have a storm behind me
- 55:53right now. But the Mohawk storm, which which I know a lot of
- 55:55people thought was cool. You know, my my memories of course were like
- 56:00you know the main So I was just like, all right, this is
- 56:01this is different. No storm is the god fam I'm sure and it's and
- 56:07I mean that that should have big a been hint. I mean, that
- 56:09should have been a big hint. I also should have got another big hint
- 56:14from the episode titles which were already released and two of them involved life death
- 56:21and that should have been a big hint to what happens in episode two.
- 56:24But we'll get into that. But it wasn't enough for me. And all
- 56:28the god damn foreshadowing was also quite hilarious to me, so much for I
- 56:34mean, and I actually didn't realize or maybe I forgot, like shout out
- 56:37to steff I Will, who like one of the reasons why like she was
- 56:42able to help build her platform was like the jokes when it comes to X
- 56:45Men and how ridiculous and as you say, outrageous their shit was, and
- 56:50really the shit that they had been saying all along they and again maybe they
- 56:53didn't turn it up, but it feels amplified here now maybe because the animation
- 56:57is so clean, so I'm not looking. I'm not distracted by bad animation.
- 57:00It's just like, yo, what is these niggas actually saying? And
- 57:02it's just the the the comments that these characters be making canout. We're gonna
- 57:12we're gonna have a lot to say, and we should also get into it
- 57:15because like again, we're talking about episode one, which is called the title
- 57:20to Me My X Men. And one of the things I also wanted to
- 57:22make sure we touch upon before we go into details is the voice acting.
- 57:27So I did look it up just to double check. Most of the voice
- 57:30actors from the original series has returned, with the exception of a couple.
- 57:37Is it still a cyclops? People are acting like he had a new voice.
- 57:40He I thought he had a new voice because he sounded different, But
- 57:43apparently it's the same guy in memory the memories listen memory, I can understand
- 57:52a broken memory about you know exactly how good something was or or or was
- 57:57it really? But two, I feel like certain things in the human things
- 58:00voice and sent like one other that does not change. Well, he's probably
- 58:07changed. It's been twenty years. The guy his voice has changed. What
- 58:09has changed, it's a little different than what it was, and perhaps that's
- 58:14a that could be again because he's older, he's his voice literally, his
- 58:16vocals may have changed or he changed the inflection for this show. Who knows.
- 58:22But it's the same guy. However, I do hear a difference.
- 58:24I like it. I mean I don't, like I said, even having
- 58:28just rewatched it. The only voice who is so identified both for me is
- 58:34Rogue because I'm like, that's the same one, but there ain't. No
- 58:37God, that's because because she she has very very specific intonation and how she
- 58:43does that accent and it's like unmistakable. There was some words she said that
- 58:47I was like questioning it a little bit, but again I confirmed it's still
- 58:52her, And I just wanted to like, I'm trying to say the names
- 58:57too, but there's so many damn names. Don't even do it. The
- 59:00original voice of a storm is still there. Yeah, we'll be here all
- 59:04day. Yeah you were talking about it. How you when you're talking about
- 59:07outrageous? How extra I she said it to the winds of East. I
- 59:15was like, yes, this is what I ever met. She said,
- 59:19reclaim these people or something, But she doesn't. Yo, Okay, that's
- 59:23that's episode like two or three. So we came no, that's still one.
- 59:27When she came out, that's when she went hard on the sentinels and
- 59:29still one, that's what she Yes, yeah, I got my notes right
- 59:32here. No, that's not one. That's still one. But yeah,
- 59:36but but that was one of the most badest things. But anyway, oh
- 59:39yeah, we were talking about foreshadowing and and one of the biggest and most
- 59:44ridiculous ones to me was in one when Storm is sitting with Jeane and is
- 59:47over there wondering what it was like. She's like, I once thought about
- 59:51it, like about to have powers, but then I was like, I
- 59:54love my family over here so much. It's just like handed foreshadow praageous lines.
- 1:00:01But it's entertaining. And that's why I keep saying, it's like your
- 1:00:07stories for kids were now for adults, right. It's it's the stories like
- 1:00:09it just be some crazy as the world turn type shit, like yo,
- 1:00:14why is this happening? But they're all animated, right, But yeah,
- 1:00:19everybode generally sounded great. I know. Also, people were kind of talking
- 1:00:22about Wolfarine a little bit, but it's the same guy. Yeah, I
- 1:00:27know that was another one. I knew that was. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:00:30you know, I love gamb It. Now if you want to talk about
- 1:00:31it, Zaddy were talking about damn that's mine girl, okay, man,
- 1:00:39like I was such a rogue fanatic. And when he showed up and it
- 1:00:43was like it was like when they know it was it wasn't that it was
- 1:00:45jealousy, because it was like it was corny, like are you remember they
- 1:00:49put the two Southerners together, the two people from Louisiana together, nigga,
- 1:00:53Like it's like when they put Storm in black pants together. It was like,
- 1:00:57niggah the blacks to get together. And now, well, you know,
- 1:01:00lack of imagination, but you see what they did in this series,
- 1:01:02right, And and there's also the thing about Gambit, like this is a
- 1:01:07bigger story, but I guess I could just explain it. Remember we got
- 1:01:14it. I want to make sure we talk about No, well, I'll
- 1:01:16say that for the burder, but no, I'll just explain it now because
- 1:01:20it makes more sense of explaining now, right, Okay, Gambit blows up
- 1:01:22and Dambit is actually created by Chris Claremont in the nineteen nineties and the nineteen
- 1:01:28nineties The Kama books were the time of super extreme. Everybody's extreme. As
- 1:01:32I've pointed out on Twitter, there was a character named Longshot who had a
- 1:01:37one blowing eye. He wore a lot of pouches, he had a mullet,
- 1:01:42and he art was done by this creator, Art Adams, who became
- 1:01:45super influential, and Mad characters copy that, such as Table with the glowing
- 1:01:50eye, Mad pouches, such as Dambit with the glowing eye, Mad pouches,
- 1:01:54right, and so when Gambit shows up, Gambit is like the epitome
- 1:01:59of extreme nineties Shit, my man got the trend stroke, he got the
- 1:02:01weird eyes, plus he got the blowing eyt he's a thief, he got
- 1:02:06the cut off crop top and everything. Yeah, you know, he got
- 1:02:09the cut off crop top, he got the hair, he got all the
- 1:02:13extremes, he got the five o'clock shadow. It's like all the things that
- 1:02:15all the nineties characters had. Gambit showed up with everything. He's a thief,
- 1:02:21he's a rogue, all the women love him. You know, he's
- 1:02:24an anti hero type character. So he was all the things that you know
- 1:02:29nineties characters and body right. Then at the same time there's this Edmond villain
- 1:02:32who we see in this series and an original called Mister Sinister. And mister
- 1:02:37Sinister is a super extreme villain right like as they said on here, he's
- 1:02:42so evil that his name is Sinister. It's just ridiculous. He's all white,
- 1:02:47he looks like a vampire, he's got the black armor. He's just
- 1:02:52like the evil of evil. Right. So Chris Claremont introduced both of these
- 1:02:57characters around the same time Gambit shows up, Miss Senator shows up. Now,
- 1:03:01Chris Claremont's original intention for these characters is hilarious because Chris Claremont gets fired
- 1:03:07off X Men a couple of years later and doesn't actually get to introduce what
- 1:03:10his real story was. But the real original story for Gambit, and probably
- 1:03:15why I gropped early that I didn't fuck with this dude, was that both
- 1:03:19him, Gambit and mister Senator are supposed to be mental creations. It's supposed
- 1:03:23to be a young twelve year old mutant who envisions these things as Okay,
- 1:03:28this is what and this is what a villain should be on some so sam
- 1:03:35shit, And so he created them both and sent them out into the world,
- 1:03:37and Gambit joined the X Men and mister Sinister becomes the villain and it
- 1:03:42was eventually going to be revealed for that, but it never happened. And
- 1:03:45so this super you know, ridiculous character Gambit because he became super popular instantly.
- 1:03:51And that's the thing. People didn't get the joke. It's just like
- 1:03:52another character like Lobo. Lobo was supposed to be a joke about Wolverine and
- 1:03:57all these characters, and nobody got the joke. It's like, oh,
- 1:04:00Lobo school, dam it's cool. So they didn't get it, and people
- 1:04:04you know, clamped onto them. And now Gambit's official character with thirty plus
- 1:04:09years and him and Rogue are you know, official couple, and it is
- 1:04:13what it is. But the original intention for them both was really interesting and
- 1:04:15really hilarious to me. So m yep, interesting And that's what that's okay,
- 1:04:21That that we all missed a joke apparently, and that's fine by me.
- 1:04:26Like I said, it's much a lot in light Game. But then
- 1:04:28he's had some great stories and great adventures. Man, he had this one
- 1:04:30issue where he pulls a knife out of his thigh and then like somebody shot
- 1:04:34him with a knife and then he like pulled the knife out with his teeth
- 1:04:38and used that knife to pick a lock. Yeah, yeah, I became
- 1:04:44a Gamber fan. Like I have said earlier, but I want to really
- 1:04:47impress upon people how fucking hilarious this series is because there are, like I
- 1:04:54said, not only the dialogue, but there is just some choices that are
- 1:04:58like clearly made to be And when I say to be funny, I mean
- 1:05:01where they're like in today's it's ship that happens to the characters that in today's
- 1:05:06stories, again more contemporary stories of the now, you would be like,
- 1:05:12that's a plot hole or why would they do that? Oh, and I
- 1:05:14gotta know what you're where you're saying, is I'm not I've really feeling that.
- 1:05:18Yeah, I need to hear first episode when you get introduced to these
- 1:05:21niggas and they fighting the niggas in the beginning of a funk out of here
- 1:05:25they fighting funk out of here in the beginning and the little warehouse, Storm
- 1:05:29and Bishop come down and ringing Holy hell in these niggas, right, And
- 1:05:34I'm like, well, first of all, you should have been dead immediately,
- 1:05:38right, this is Storm you talking about. She's coming down on the
- 1:05:40lightning immediately, like held up she well, she said, she says her.
- 1:05:44She says her, you know, cannons to the east and the cannon
- 1:05:45to the right of them, and then comes down with the lightning, right.
- 1:05:49But they kind of making it, they're kind of making it alive,
- 1:05:51right that the fuck out of Here is kind of storms, They're kind of
- 1:05:57making a live which I'm just like, that's not sup to happen that at
- 1:06:00one point one of the fuck out of Here people shoots this computer that is
- 1:06:03right next to Storm and Bishop, and both Storm and Bishop get taken out,
- 1:06:09like knock the fuck out and literally like like pass out on the floor,
- 1:06:14both of them together. Then Dow don't come repelling like the fucking swat
- 1:06:19team comes Scott fucking Summers to come save the day, like saying some cool
- 1:06:24kid like you know, Bart Simpson and shit. And that's why I'm just
- 1:06:27like, this shit is hilarious because they there ain't no goddamn way that this
- 1:06:31ship would fly like if they were being for real. And that's why I'm
- 1:06:33like, it's also an element of camp in this and why i think it's
- 1:06:35funny. There is an intended camp in how they're doing the dialogue and they
- 1:06:40approach There's no fucking way that you would be dead ass serious doing this now,
- 1:06:45No fucking way, not no, I don't know, Like to me,
- 1:06:50it just reads like, okay, I'm not all right. First of
- 1:06:55all, I'm not saying that you want her to lightning these niggas to death.
- 1:06:58No, not necessarily. I'm just saying, is find it funny that
- 1:07:00out of anything that could have out a little ass fucking explosion, that that's
- 1:07:06some funk out of here people started. It wasn't like the Mega Man guns.
- 1:07:12They had the Mega Man guns doing hamm like god, no, no,
- 1:07:15that ship was for That's the first thing I said. I said,
- 1:07:17how did they get taken out by that? And it was both of them.
- 1:07:19I'm just like, damn. I mean, Storm is not you know,
- 1:07:23like powerful vulnerable, but none of them are. But my god,
- 1:07:28yeah, I mean I feel you, I feel you Rigs, but I
- 1:07:33don't, you know, it's like it's that's fine, It's like, ain't
- 1:07:36no way because any because then when you look at later episodes, that stupid
- 1:07:40ship don't fucking affect her. And I'm just like that is classic. That's
- 1:07:45classic camp for me. Like it's like later on like choosing picking and choosing
- 1:07:48what stupid shit decides to affect the character that ship really shouldn't be affecting them
- 1:07:53at all. Not like that. That's pret like every Marvel film, Like
- 1:07:56people about that all the time, Like you know, it's like the power
- 1:07:59levels, but a change depending on that power levels. Like Storm later survives
- 1:08:04a battle with the Sentinels with no problem. So I get it, you
- 1:08:08know, like in the same episode, may like maybe that is just classic
- 1:08:12Marvel. Yeah, that is just marvelous. It's you know, that's what
- 1:08:15I mean. It's like, it is what it is. Some days Spider
- 1:08:17Man can survive a fight with fire Lord, and some days Spider Man has
- 1:08:21trouble with thugs on the street. You know, it just is what it
- 1:08:25is. And that's funny. No, but that's like me, I guess
- 1:08:29because I'm so deep in comic books. It's just like, yeah, you
- 1:08:31know, that's how it is. You know, Explosion, they get knocked
- 1:08:33out, and then later on she fought some sensibles. You know. I
- 1:08:36was just like, what, so, yeah, it was, it was
- 1:08:40It was just funny. I wanted to give a big shout out to that
- 1:08:42entrance though, and Cyclops shot sliding around of being like using his uh opted
- 1:08:48blast as projectile beans and moving himself with it. Yeah, I've read a
- 1:08:53lot of different comments. I don't know if I've seen him do that and
- 1:08:56that was fly. I don't recall him being able to do it, but
- 1:08:58he can. No, he can't been done before in stories. So I
- 1:09:03like power Beams. I'm all right, it's plausible. Yeah, it's definitely
- 1:09:06plausible. I mean I've seen it done in the other stories. I've never
- 1:09:10seen Scott do it. I've never seen him drop down and you know,
- 1:09:13fly from a thousand from three ft in the air or I this this show
- 1:09:23reminded me one thing that my memory did not feel me on how much I
- 1:09:27fucking can't stand Scott Summers and how making he saw some cool ship with his
- 1:09:33with his powers and the guy that's always up in his fucking emotions. And
- 1:09:43I never liked this nigga. No, that's stands firm for me. If
- 1:09:46you didn't like this nigga before, you damn sh ain't like this. And
- 1:09:49when I be by that is just him as his person. Is he a
- 1:09:55cool character in the show, Yeah, but as a person he annoys me.
- 1:09:59He it annoys me and it's still there, y'all. Did right,
- 1:10:02disagree, disagree, stop right here all day. Stott simmers all day,
- 1:10:11he all day. The nigga Okay, we'll talk about another episode, but
- 1:10:15the nigga like, couldn't hey we say that? Because no, no,
- 1:10:21okay, hey, hey a all right. One other thing I wanted to
- 1:10:28point out of this episode was I just loved the what exactly happened this episode,
- 1:10:31like we did the intro where we got reacquainted. I mean, people
- 1:10:34seen the ship. We don't need to tell them exactly what happened. But
- 1:10:38I'm for us, so I can understand because they said something happened. I
- 1:10:44didn't realize it all happened in the first episode. Fought the sin. I
- 1:10:47wish would just listen to me when I say, do it, because I
- 1:10:50was getting to the point about the pacing and the storytelling that it makes that
- 1:10:58they were able to put so much story. You mentioned it before, you
- 1:11:00said the specific storylines, but the fact that as you're watching, as I
- 1:11:06mentioned it does, it starts getting better and it increasingly gets more involved.
- 1:11:11So I think they did a fantastic job. Because pacing is also a big
- 1:11:14thing, and you never technically want to like be in lulls and things like
- 1:11:17that, and I feel like they did very well there. That's why I
- 1:11:20think I get what you're saying, like the second or third episodes might have
- 1:11:24been, but I thought the pilot was very strong for a pilot because I
- 1:11:28think it had a lot to do and handled it all very well. Like
- 1:11:30it catches you up on a whole ast series that happened before this that most
- 1:11:35people probably have not seen, or if they have, they haven't seen it
- 1:11:38since they were kids, you know, and it gets you right back into
- 1:11:41it. It reintroduces pretty much the whole team of mutants, and it does
- 1:11:45it through sun Spots eyes, which is a really smart way of doing it.
- 1:11:47So through each way you get to meet all these characters through his eyes,
- 1:11:51so it's fresh eyes. You know. It's a great storytelling way because
- 1:11:56episode one, no sun Spots. In episode one, catch find him an
- 1:12:00episode one of them And this is why I asked you, which was what
- 1:12:06happened? Episode Okay? Well, then a short story for you know,
- 1:12:11because talk to that and I did watch all these three, you know,
- 1:12:15back to back, and so you know it's for me all right to clear
- 1:12:18it up, Yeah, to clear it up an episode what the Men rescue
- 1:12:24Sunspot from the Friends of Humanity. They take him back to the mansion where
- 1:12:27he meets everyone. He's immediately like, I ain't working with this and runs
- 1:12:31off to a night club. The Men follow him to a night club.
- 1:12:34Hilarious. Hilarious, which was but see this is all once again. These
- 1:12:39are all like references because this happened before with Dazzler, so they basically twitch
- 1:12:45Dazzler for Sunspot. So the X Men follow him to the night club,
- 1:12:48where upon the Friends of Humanity show up again. There's more beef, you
- 1:12:54know, woom woom wom. Eventually, uh, they say, okay,
- 1:12:57we got to track down the maker. You know, we need to try
- 1:13:00down where they get these weapons from. They can all the ways if y'all
- 1:13:03got access to the Sentinel, because these a Sentinel based weapons. So what's
- 1:13:06going on is if there's a master mold, which is that mates Sentinels,
- 1:13:12which they had supposedly destroyed. Yep, so they had destroyed one before,
- 1:13:15but your man Bolivar Trash shows up. Bolivar Trash is from the comments.
- 1:13:19The Trash family are basically responsible for creating the Sentinels. If you read Houseavec's
- 1:13:26powers, Vecks and one of Mori's lives, Mrman Taggerslave. She basically went
- 1:13:30through and killed all of the trash trying to stop the Sentinels from happening.
- 1:13:34It doesn't, you know, help work because sentinels and AI is going to
- 1:13:39come even if you kill It's like if you killed Bill Gates, AI is
- 1:13:42still gonna come up. Like you know, I do want to say that
- 1:13:45fight was one of the coldest. Is just an animation in this animation,
- 1:13:47because if one thing is so strong about this series is when they animate the
- 1:13:53fights. All of the action fight scenes are incredible, especially when they in
- 1:13:58the desert when and the way Storm came down and turned the fucking sand into
- 1:14:04glass, my nigga and went in like you said, and carried these sentinel
- 1:14:11like it was nothing like that. That's my chef's kids, beautiful. Yeah,
- 1:14:15And that's I mean that whole even leading up to it, like the
- 1:14:19X Men when the Blackbird gets torn apart and Storm just yeah, and Storm
- 1:14:25just nods her head to Rogue and then they all just snap in the action
- 1:14:29and then Cyclops is like, Okay, team, great work. You know,
- 1:14:31I'll see you on the ground like that whole ship was pure fire like
- 1:14:36it's very the camera whipping around them. It was just great animation. Yeah.
- 1:14:43Oh, like you said, when Storm does take out the Sentinels,
- 1:14:45they call her an Omega level mutant. Yep. I heard that process Here
- 1:14:48we go, here we go, yep. Which is and the funny the
- 1:14:54mega level of stuff came around, like it was first introduced to the concept
- 1:14:58right around the nineties, but it really became prominent recently and in the two
- 1:15:02thousands when they were saying in the in the Fox versions. Yeah, and
- 1:15:06so the omega the idea of omega level mutant is basically, if you're a
- 1:15:11mutant, there is no limit. Like it's mean, girls, Like there
- 1:15:15is no limit because like Storm controls weather, so there's no limits to the
- 1:15:20weather she can control. Right, Like Cyclops as powerful is is not an
- 1:15:26Omega level mutant because his ie beams have a limit. You know, they
- 1:15:30can reach certain limit and that's it. It's just there's no unless there's no
- 1:15:36atmosphere. And even then I don't even think that that's no it's like storms,
- 1:15:42That's what I'm saying. I said, I don't even think the atmosphere
- 1:15:45even matters like any form of weather. Yes, she can control Magneto is
- 1:15:50the master of magnetism. There's no powerful today than him at magnetism. He
- 1:15:56is an Omega level Muan. What about Professor X and Gene Ray, I'm
- 1:16:00not sure which right now considered the omega version of I think Professor has definitely
- 1:16:05considering an Omega level telepath. Yeah, And I think Gene has the potential
- 1:16:11as a thing eventually, because she doesn't she's not there yet. No,
- 1:16:14she's not there yet, But I think she has the potential to definitely become
- 1:16:16one of the omegas. And there's a few other like Iceman surprised she's the
- 1:16:23supreme h Like I said, Iceman surprised the Omega level is yeah, because
- 1:16:30I like when Iceman goes Ham, he goes hand. But he's always yeah,
- 1:16:34and he's always been a person who holds back and that's why you don't
- 1:16:39ever get to see his real power. But yeah, that was a great
- 1:16:43reference. Another one I really wanted to talk about real quick in this episode
- 1:16:45was a great her CoA House of That's reference was when Guy Rick is in
- 1:16:51jail talking to them and he says, did you honestly think we would roll
- 1:16:55over, that we wouldn't fight back, And that's a flip of what the
- 1:16:59mutant told the humans at the beginning of House of Edsit it's actually what Cyclops
- 1:17:02tells I think he tells Reed Richard's that after they established Krocoa, He's like,
- 1:17:08did you honestly think we would just sit here and take it all this
- 1:17:10time? Then we wouldn't fight back? And so it's a flip right there,
- 1:17:15and he's even says other things that you know, it's the direct thing
- 1:17:17to a Cocola where he's talking about if we accept you, eventually ye're going
- 1:17:20to replace us, and that's I mean, that's that's real world racism.
- 1:17:27It's you know, what the X Men finally take into a kind of Kircoa,
- 1:17:30and it's it's really interesting to me as a huge fan of the X
- 1:17:34Men and Mutants in general. It's something that came up a lot when people
- 1:17:38were mad about Cocola because they're like, why ed men, you know doing
- 1:17:42this? Well, are they're having their own nation? Well then well they
- 1:17:45just take it basically, And as a black man who's dealt with racism my
- 1:17:48whole life, it's all that was like yes, I would love it.
- 1:17:54Fight Bad Nigga and I would love it if we had our own place and
- 1:17:58we were just like, nah, we're gonna establish our own we gonna do
- 1:18:00our own thing. So that was just really interesting and it was really interesting
- 1:18:03to me to see that pushback and going back to this when we're talking about
- 1:18:08the costuming and everything else, and right now, recently, Marvel just announced
- 1:18:12what they're doing with the X Men after Coacoa, and it's basically going back
- 1:18:16to this, like you're gonna see Cyclops in this type outfit. You're gonna
- 1:18:19see they have one boot that's basically the main team, you know, Rogue,
- 1:18:24Gambit, Storm, like all the X Men that we see in S
- 1:18:28Men ninety seven. So really, I'm seeing the corporate side of Marvel coming
- 1:18:31back in the play right now with S Men, and I really this my
- 1:18:34big prediction that when we see them in the MCU, these are their looks.
- 1:18:39You're gonna see that classic looks, so we'll see class know. But
- 1:18:45what I'm saying is classic is also depends on who you are, right,
- 1:18:48depends on your age, like to some people like to me, this is
- 1:18:51my Classics Men, Like I came up before this, but this was that
- 1:18:57you know, this is like my era of Tsmen was that you know,
- 1:19:01even if somebody younger than you, like, this is considered classic for me,
- 1:19:04Like there's because beyond this all you have is X Men version and then
- 1:19:10even more recently you have for Core stuff. So I classic. There's so
- 1:19:14many like Cyclops is like fifty costumes for most of that, but this is
- 1:19:17the one. What's that thing? For most people? This one, and
- 1:19:19this is the one that Marvel push a lot. I mean, it's also
- 1:19:21it has a lot to do with like the people who did it, Like
- 1:19:25Jim Lee is one of the greatest arts art of all time, and he's
- 1:19:28the biggest nineties artist and he's the one who designed most of these looks.
- 1:19:30So it just holds, you know, it stays the test, it does
- 1:19:34and then you have to remember like also my gen on like playing Capcom,
- 1:19:40marvelus these these was it. So yeah, So I think for a lot
- 1:19:45of people, this is considered the classic look. Yeah. So I feel
- 1:19:48like this is the look that we will see in the movies. I'm not
- 1:19:51mad at that. There's other stuff I'd like to see, Like I always
- 1:19:55saw about Core's all these eras you know, but I get it, you
- 1:19:58know, from a corporate to point, from someone looking to establish a brand,
- 1:20:01this is the looks that they should go. Right. So before we
- 1:20:04get out episode one, one of the things I want to make sure we
- 1:20:06mentioned, because we talked about it before we started recording was the dual powers.
- 1:20:12So like circuit, Yeah, the mutants are right. So in that
- 1:20:15same fight with Trash and the Sentinals and Masterable, where again where my man
- 1:20:20gambit when he charged up Wolverine's claws, that shit was fired and then go
- 1:20:28ahead, you can say about the next one. Yeah, And he also
- 1:20:30throws a card underneath Wolverine's ass to launch him into the air so that he
- 1:20:35can then tell Morph, give me some bounce, and Morph transforms into the
- 1:20:42mute character to blob, so Wolverine can then bounce off his stomach and deliver
- 1:20:46the coupde grad to Master Mold and cut that nigga's head clean off with his
- 1:20:50charge. Applause. I said, the fights, the fights went and go
- 1:20:55too damn hard on this show. So yeah, And the idea of a
- 1:20:59mute and circuit is something that has been part of X Men forever but was
- 1:21:01recently defined in the Kirkoa era as the Mutant circuit, and in the Kirkoa
- 1:21:06already took it to the extremes where they have this team of the Five who
- 1:21:12can resurrect people by combining their powers. But they also defined the original mutant
- 1:21:17circuit is known as the Fastball Special, which most Men fans know as the
- 1:21:23Losses throwing Wolverine at somebody. So it's something basic like that. It's just
- 1:21:28combining your powers creates a circuit, and you know, the sum is greater
- 1:21:31than the parts. Now, I love that Gambit charge of shit because as
- 1:21:35we know, Gambit stuff blows up everything when he charged something and explodes.
- 1:21:40The Wolverine's claws are indestructible a tandaum. So it's like this is the thing
- 1:21:45that can be charged up and won't explode, and then he can throw the
- 1:21:47claw and the niggas and round. You could throw some fucking blow up shit
- 1:21:51on his ass. Wolverin still felt that ship, which is that's what people
- 1:21:59always forget about wolver And in the commentary bringing up is he feels all the
- 1:22:01pain, He'll be ay reason what camera was saying, like, you know,
- 1:22:06Flo, he'll be no he didn't ask for that part. He told
- 1:22:11more for them up. I mean, he knew it was gonna happen,
- 1:22:15but still it was like he knew they practice has been Believe me, they're
- 1:22:18in the danger room circuits. He was ready for that, but goddam,
- 1:22:27I mean, even going back to the Fastball Special, all he thought it
- 1:22:30was wow that niggas was just throwing this nigga at people, you know,
- 1:22:32like, I get it, your bones don't break. He's five two and
- 1:22:36matter. Come on, man, we're not gonna talk about how niggas used
- 1:22:41to throw you know, dwars around like that ship's trifling, like it's it's
- 1:22:45hell trifling, like just being small. This nigga just throws this nigga around.
- 1:22:50They practiced this same fucking circuit in the dance. How do you practice
- 1:22:56that, nigga? How do you throw me at that wall? It's not
- 1:23:00walls whatever. But I know but but and you know, Wolverine's fucking psycho.
- 1:23:06You know, he he loved this ship. He loves that minute.
- 1:23:10Get it. It's like who played football. I've never understood that ship never
- 1:23:14clear. There is no pain like the pain of not being loved by Jean.
- 1:23:19I need you to oh my god, there is no pain. That's
- 1:23:25where saying how many shots this season? Or they can have this nigga standing
- 1:23:30outside of the while getting played like right, and that's that's I remember that
- 1:23:34nigga. Now I don't consider him a because because he simps in front of
- 1:23:43Jean, but then when g not did he got fucking work to do.
- 1:23:45No niggas crying in the tree by himself. He's buying when company comes,
- 1:23:54or it's kind of gonna get ship done. He ain't talking about oh oh,
- 1:23:57I'm so set in Gene. Is this that? And the third notice
- 1:24:00you need to be watched that original series. Boy that is on goal all
- 1:24:04the time and he's about that action all the time. Half the time,
- 1:24:09Scot crying like I don't know we should be doing this and nigga get the
- 1:24:12fuck out, No man, no game. All right, We're gonna move
- 1:24:15on the episode two because because I know why you're trying to expect this nigga,
- 1:24:20and this nigga has Sody's choice him. I am actually once again,
- 1:24:29that doesn't take away his power, doesn't take away that this ship, this
- 1:24:31nigga does do dope ship. Yeah, he's super dope he's still a fucking
- 1:24:35step Yeah all right, Episode two, episode two of X Men ninety seven
- 1:24:43one Liberation begins. I got a shout out because I was completely surprised and
- 1:24:47taken aback by this, that the fact that the opening credits seem to be
- 1:24:53changing every episode. I love it. Yes, I love it because we
- 1:24:59always have the opening of each hero the hero try to be thrown with their
- 1:25:01name, and this one starts off immediately let you know that shit has changed.
- 1:25:05Magneto is now part of the team because we didn't mention that. At
- 1:25:10the end of the first episode, Magnito with the good hair shows up,
- 1:25:13Maggie with the good hair shows up, and it's like, ahaha, Professor
- 1:25:15has left it all to me. Niggas get it. And also to that
- 1:25:19point, like in episode one, because since he's allegedly dead, you don't
- 1:25:23see Professor X because he's in the original intro Professor X and he wasn't in
- 1:25:27this whatsoever. What. But yes, this second episode, you got Magneto
- 1:25:31come in like I got this ship he bought NBC. You know he in
- 1:25:35this bitch. The niggas got his new costume on. In the intro he
- 1:25:39makes an X out of some metal yeah, but in the arms yeah,
- 1:25:45and the arms out. I told you, look, you may deny it,
- 1:25:48but Man is pure Zaddy and that's I think. I also fucked with
- 1:25:53him because he's the one who bad rogue, and unlike Gambit, he deserved
- 1:25:57it. So that's why I always fucked with Manito word up and also that
- 1:26:01whole thing like cause you get to see that, Like I didn't remember any
- 1:26:04of that. I was like, oh, they was fucking like literally as
- 1:26:09soon as they linked up, I was like, okay, now that now
- 1:26:12we'll get into that, right, but that okay, so that we named
- 1:26:15you know, Immune Liberation begins. This is actually the episode where Storm is
- 1:26:18having a conversation with Gene, because this episode is about Gene and Cyclops really
- 1:26:24thinking, okay, we're about to have this kid. We need to get
- 1:26:27the fuck out of here, you know what I mean, Like it's we've
- 1:26:30been here too long, we're old as dirt, and this is once again
- 1:26:33happened exactly like this in the comics, in the comments, Oh god,
- 1:26:38we're going No, I'll get into that in the third episode, because that's
- 1:26:41a whole nother original intention for characters that didn't work. You liked the Well,
- 1:26:45actually, these niggas okay, no, it's so it's so interesting to
- 1:26:47me because Chris Cremont is one of these writers who plots ahead for years in
- 1:26:51advance, so he had all these plans for these characters. They and niggas
- 1:26:58just said, fuck your plans, nigga. It did whatever they wanted.
- 1:27:00And so it's just so funny because now it's like thirty years of people like,
- 1:27:03fuck, you're playing Scris and so this is the version of the characters.
- 1:27:08So we'll get into that in the third episode with Madelon Pryor, which
- 1:27:10is just, oh my god, that's so funny. So this episode,
- 1:27:15Magneto owned NBC and everybody and he's so yeah, this episode is The two
- 1:27:19major plots in this episode are Cyclops and Gene trying to leave and Magneto saying,
- 1:27:27fuck it, I'll go on trial, which once again is straight from
- 1:27:31the comics. I mean down to the costume. He's wearing everything I want.
- 1:27:35And these are some of the first X Men issues I ever bought.
- 1:27:38With Magneto going on trial. He goes to Paris. He goes on trial
- 1:27:42for everything he'd done as villain at that point, which was in the comics,
- 1:27:46hell of shit, my nigga had sunken a Russian sub full of people.
- 1:27:49He raised a volcano in a Russian city. I think this nigga was
- 1:27:55killing people left and right. Son, he be like that, And basically
- 1:27:59he said, it be like that because I'm a mute and they'll niggas try
- 1:28:00and kill me. So he went on trial and in the comics he's actually
- 1:28:04a pardon of everything. And it went into this whole thing where he thought
- 1:28:09one of the judges was racists and they weren't. Like he thought they hated
- 1:28:12mutants and they weren't. And so it was, you know, Magneto fucked
- 1:28:15up and he had to reconcile it. Not all people hate him just because
- 1:28:18he's a mutant, and people will believe his story of he's been persecuted his
- 1:28:23whole life, so he's just fighting back. So it was a really dope
- 1:28:27story in the comics, and I really love seeing it translated here. And
- 1:28:30I thought they did, you know, once again, they condensed everything,
- 1:28:32they get straight to it. I thought they did a you know, admirable,
- 1:28:35admirable job with this. Yeah, I agree, and again with the
- 1:28:41dramatics and even Magneto I forgot. Also, Magneto is once for me once
- 1:28:45that below when it comes to Storm and the in the oration, and maybe
- 1:28:48they both on the same level with the nest, but the way they explain
- 1:28:55shit, and it be the most mundane shit, but the way they go
- 1:28:58into it, I'm just like, my god, that's poetry. And then
- 1:29:02again and then with the hair and all this other stuff going on, it's
- 1:29:05just it's just phenomenal. And and when you're watching this combinement and everything else,
- 1:29:12it just gets you deeper into it, like it really gets you into
- 1:29:15the stories even more. Again, funny shit happening that maybe it wasn't meant
- 1:29:21to be funny. In this episode especially, I understand what it was.
- 1:29:28Specifically, when Jean and Storm had that little sit down together and Jeans was
- 1:29:33trying to explain, look, man, you know, I'm afraid for this
- 1:29:36world and what we're bringing our son into and you know the fact that he's
- 1:29:41going to be persecuted. She had this conversation, and I get it.
- 1:29:45She is. She wants better for her son. She's a mute in this,
- 1:29:48you know. I I I was fucking dying laughing as well, because
- 1:29:54again I'm I'm taking out a context of that story. I'm just seeing a
- 1:29:59white woman African. Do you know what it's like to be different in America?
- 1:30:06And I was fucking rolling, roll ling, and I know that I
- 1:30:13wasn't intentioned. Don't come at me, don't at me with I know what
- 1:30:16it was about. I don't give a fuck that ship was it's still what
- 1:30:19it was about. No, it's still yeah, that's still real. It's
- 1:30:23like I just I was just like out of old And again, that's her
- 1:30:27sister, right, that's the person that understands from them, So she's gonna
- 1:30:30talk to the store. Fine mix. But in that context when she was
- 1:30:32sitting there, I don't know, Jeane and then the world and the life
- 1:30:35and they hate us. I was like, that's an African, you're talking
- 1:30:40to what You're still white? You know, you're still you're still white,
- 1:30:44but I know shoots beams out of his eyes, but you're pretty good.
- 1:30:46Like you can just walk around and I mean, you can make it where
- 1:30:49niggas don't even know you're shooting beans out of the ours. My my sentiments
- 1:30:53are out of context of that conversation and that specific story. I just found
- 1:30:56it hilarious. It was there. Oh no, definitely. Now we mentioned
- 1:31:01this real quick, But I do want to talk about Rogue and Magneto because
- 1:31:05I love it. First of all, I love it and I had to
- 1:31:09actually google to see because, like I said, I didn't watch every episode
- 1:31:12of the original series. I watched like the first reason they was fucking because
- 1:31:16I don't remember that. No, it's not. It is directly from the
- 1:31:20comics, so yes, So it's like they brought that story into this and
- 1:31:26because Rogue like has time where it could have happened and her bad story,
- 1:31:30it was perfect. So that was really dope to see. Uh. In
- 1:31:35the third episode they get more into it with some direct callbacks from the comics
- 1:31:39that we'll talk about in that one. But I just love that. I
- 1:31:43love that Magneto can touch her through the use of his power and been touching
- 1:31:47her in that danger room day at the day more more morph clock that ship.
- 1:31:55I was fucking going out. He sent me to the fucking moon with
- 1:31:58that ship. Yeah, so I wanted to ask you about that. Is
- 1:32:00it because he's using that magnetum, Like, how was he able to because
- 1:32:04obviously when they touch you saw a little sparks. I was all right,
- 1:32:06something to do with the power. But what is it about that that he's
- 1:32:11a toucher comics? Okay, okay, like the in the third episode,
- 1:32:16which we'll get into. I'll explain more in the third eup. So let's
- 1:32:19just say that for that one. Okay, how they're doing it, I'm
- 1:32:23not sure in this, but I'll play more in the third episode. Some
- 1:32:27theories and shit, I guess about it. Wrapping up some stuff. In
- 1:32:30this episode, Jean has the baby, which is, you know, the
- 1:32:34big moment that we've all been waiting for. She has little Nathan Christopher Summers,
- 1:32:40who grows up to be cable in the comics. You know, sorry,
- 1:32:45spoiler for like a forty years spoiler. Yeah, I mean she's been
- 1:32:47around like forty years now. Yeah. Yeah, he grows up to be
- 1:32:51cable in the comics, and we'll see more of that directly in episode three.
- 1:32:57I also got to point out, because you pointed out some white women
- 1:32:59and shit, I want to point out some woman and ship that while she
- 1:33:01is being driven to the hospital going through labor, Jeans still has to lift
- 1:33:05people up with tell the Kenesians out of way, because for some Woovery is
- 1:33:11completely incompetent, Like you talk about something, you talk about some goofy cartoon
- 1:33:15ship that was like that, like because that was like some eighties cartoon ship
- 1:33:25like that was like the stupid ship he used to do on Stooby Dude,
- 1:33:28Like that was just ridiculous, Like why is he driving on the sidewalks something
- 1:33:32like what? Like wasn't that serious? Yeah, I guess, I guess
- 1:33:36maybe you thought that would get him very faster. He just killed some people
- 1:33:40all the way. And then because she's in labor again, she's telekinetic.
- 1:33:45She she she's ripping the roof of the cars being ripped off, and I'm
- 1:33:49just like, bro, they're gonna get there or anything like it was it
- 1:33:53was going in on it. Then Also you didn't talk about what I didn't
- 1:33:57talk about because this was also the episode where Storm lost her power, right,
- 1:34:01yes, so another thing about the black woman. And again I remember
- 1:34:06if this was story, well, I'm not gonna say, Cannon, if
- 1:34:10this was the story, yeah, or was it like the animation that she
- 1:34:16Storm, of all people, is the one who catches it, trying to
- 1:34:19trying to protect her bro, you know, her brother in the oration that
- 1:34:26she catches out of all of them and likely only African. I vaguely remember,
- 1:34:30like wow, when it happened, I was like I had something hit
- 1:34:34in my head, but I wasn't sure. But beyond that, it just
- 1:34:38goes back to again as a black woman watching, I was just like,
- 1:34:40damn, why yo ass had to catch the el? And then Magneto with
- 1:34:45the single you know, tear rolling down his eyes and he was thinking about
- 1:34:49it. And then I got suspicious because I was just like, was this
- 1:34:54his plan? And I was like, no, no, no, that
- 1:34:55wasn't his plan. But was this his plan? Like I started getting real
- 1:34:58suspicious too, because I always get suspicion is a ship like that, especially
- 1:35:00when the black woman got toakke the l I'm like, wait a minute,
- 1:35:02was this part of the plan to get right with the fucking government and all
- 1:35:06that stuff? No, I don't think so, cause that Nigga was about
- 1:35:09to murder the government. So because my man, my man was very serious
- 1:35:14about his speeches, so I think I think he is truly sad. But
- 1:35:16no, that Nigga's purely about to murder the government over that shit. So
- 1:35:20he took his deep breath, he was just like, y'all niggas is lucky.
- 1:35:24I don't drop y'all. Well, y'all stand like he's in the atmosphere
- 1:35:28with these niggas. Yeah, he should have dropped the fuck out of here
- 1:35:31person though, Yeah, he should he should have dropped him. Yeah,
- 1:35:35definitely. No. Once again, this is straight Canner from the comments.
- 1:35:41In fact, in the comics, Rogue, I mean Storm loses her powers
- 1:35:45because she's trying to stop Henry Peter Garrich Guy Rich again to always the dickhead.
- 1:35:51He has the neutralizer gun, which in the comments is created by Forge.
- 1:35:56I'm not sure if they're going to do that here, but in the
- 1:36:00comets, Forged creates is done because he created to battle these preachers known as
- 1:36:03the Dire Race, who were this alien race who was trying to create take
- 1:36:09over the world. So he used it to fight them. But then the
- 1:36:13government of course takes it and it's like oh this words, I'm muting word.
- 1:36:16So Rogue at this point is a big time criminal. Most of ed
- 1:36:20smon of Arbor Roge. But she's really she done some super wild ship at
- 1:36:25this point. So Henry Peter goes to shut her down and catches her slipping
- 1:36:30shoots her with the gun once but has it on the low setting for you
- 1:36:32know, stun and it doesn't really get her, so then he turns it
- 1:36:36up. She doesn't see him coming, Storm sees it, tries to push
- 1:36:42her out the way and gets caught who he was aiming for, Rogue,
- 1:36:46right, and he catches Storm, And like I said, that's why I
- 1:36:49said, My mind was just like something like this happened, but to whom
- 1:36:54until house so they switched to was Yeah, they switched because it's too different
- 1:37:00storylines. Like I said before, like that happened way before the trial.
- 1:37:02Magneto, you know, way before, years before, and I mean years
- 1:37:08in real time and you know, at least months before in common time.
- 1:37:11And I was seeing what it did, some fire fighting like fire action ship
- 1:37:15with fucking Magneto wrapping the things up and bringing in like literal like Sade swords
- 1:37:20down. It's the sort of I'm not but he had like multiple yet sort
- 1:37:26of yeah, head then Rogue using that as as conductors conducting stations to do
- 1:37:31like that. I was like, and then that should happened, and then
- 1:37:38that should happened. I was like, God, damn not. She was
- 1:37:40gonna be all right, but damn no, and on eventually, why do
- 1:37:45you go to Wakanda yelling why don't you go to Wakanda? Well, that
- 1:37:49might happen eventually too, because that's part of this storyline. Like I said,
- 1:37:55I should have known this was coming, because they've announced ten of the
- 1:37:58titles and two of the episodes are called Life Death and Life Deaf are big.
- 1:38:03The first one is all about Storm and Forge when she finds out she's
- 1:38:08recovering with him, and then she finds out that he created the gun that
- 1:38:12took her powers, and it's why their relationship is one of my favorites,
- 1:38:15and it's also why they had one of the most fucked up relationships in Comonship.
- 1:38:19And then the second part of Life Deaf is when she goes back to
- 1:38:23Africa and reconciles who she is as this woman who was raised in Africa,
- 1:38:27who became this thief, who became an x man yea, and to go
- 1:38:31back and go over there. It might, it might, they might do
- 1:38:34to Wakanda, And they might, but I don't think because I think that'd
- 1:38:38be too big for them to have the whole Black Panther franchise in this,
- 1:38:42and I really don't want to see that. I'd rather see the relationship with
- 1:38:45Forge play out. I know that I'm about to get daughter. You wouldn't.
- 1:38:48No, I don't, nigga, I don't give a ship like I
- 1:38:50don't care you know, No, I don't want to see the only two
- 1:38:54black people that Marvel had at the time together. It never made sense to
- 1:38:57me and it still doesn't. And that goes into episode three about the whole
- 1:39:00Storm Forge love story. Yeah, we'll get it done, but Storm to
- 1:39:04finish this episode up, Magneto is pardoning. Storm writes. The four page
- 1:39:09letter tells everybody, douce come out. Not one of y'all know more.
- 1:39:14I'm not one of y'all niggas. No mo. I did love the shot
- 1:39:17of Nathan and the crib with all his stuff above them, because it seems
- 1:39:20like for a second like, oh, this nigga's already got to tell kinetics,
- 1:39:24and then it's like no, he's just looking at the mobile above his
- 1:39:27crib. I love how they did that. And then at the very end,
- 1:39:31oh no, god, damn it, we gotta mention this shit man,
- 1:39:34all right, Wolverine is sitting there crying by himself in a tree.
- 1:39:39Damn cool more morph shows up with beer and chips. Wolverine's not interested until
- 1:39:47Morph turns in the saber tooth right, and then Wolverine jumps down and they
- 1:39:53start play fighting all together. Look, nigga, this is the weirdest sexual
- 1:39:58ship that is going on. I'm glad you said that, because I felt
- 1:40:00sexual intention even when I think it was either this episode episode before when Morph
- 1:40:05was no it was this episode so three. Yeah, okay, so we'll
- 1:40:09talk about it. But when Morph goes into like the shower and he's looking
- 1:40:14and he thinking Wolverine's up in there, so then you know, he's like,
- 1:40:16let me scratch, kind of going at him, you know, talking
- 1:40:19about the scratching back. There is obvious sexual tension between the two for this,
- 1:40:25oh no, not for you, for everyone, And this goes back
- 1:40:28to the original series, and there was this big uproar when people found out
- 1:40:31that Morph would call himself a more more they when they would yeah they would
- 1:40:38dead, not themselves, yeah, they they would refer themselves as themselves non
- 1:40:43binary, non binary. So there was a big uproar and it was hilarious
- 1:40:45because once again, your memories are not serving you well. Because I went
- 1:40:50back and rewatched it and in one of the very first episode because Morph gets
- 1:40:55like not murdered, but that's been think he's dead by like the third episode,
- 1:40:58so he's not in it for a lot of it that I don't remember
- 1:41:01that nigga Okay, but yeah, that's but he's also he he shows a
- 1:41:06brainwash. He's in a lot of the series. But I guess, you
- 1:41:09know, like I said, people don't remember him, but people did remember
- 1:41:11him whatever, But people who did remember him didn't remember the scene in the
- 1:41:15first series when he when Wolverine trats him down at his bar after his left
- 1:41:18the Edge Men, and Morph is like, I know what will bring you,
- 1:41:23you know, I know what really brought you here and turns into Gene
- 1:41:25Gray and attempts to kiss him. So it's already been established that Morph has
- 1:41:30an attraction to Wolverine, and it's pretty much non binary because he turned in
- 1:41:35the Wolf into Gene Gray. Is like, I'll kiss him as Gen Gray.
- 1:41:39Now that's interesting and in of itself, yeah, I mean, it's
- 1:41:45it's all kind of weird shit. But the fact that you turn in the
- 1:41:47Saber too, who is that? All? Right? Now? In the
- 1:41:50comics, Wolvering is Sable two have the most terrible relationship. Saber Tooth is
- 1:41:55killed many people the Wolverine loves. There's actually a sable to war going on
- 1:42:00right now in the comics where it's been said that save the Tooth. It's
- 1:42:03a love story in a way. It's a very fucked up love story,
- 1:42:08but he does love Wolverine in a fucked up way. So from morph to
- 1:42:13turn into someone that Wolverine actively hates for someone that has killed people that Wolverine
- 1:42:18loves, but then they're key keen playing fighting together. It's it's a hate
- 1:42:23fuck thing. And that's why I'm like, this thing is getting really weird
- 1:42:26Central because it's like Morphon is like, oh you want to you know,
- 1:42:30really what you want is to you know, give it to this man.
- 1:42:32The broken people remember that, like super if they weren't as broken, perhaps
- 1:42:38they can have an actual relationship. But yeah, they have to do it
- 1:42:41through the guys of as you said, hate fucking and just being weird and
- 1:42:45all this other crazy shit that Mark has been doing for the last three episodes.
- 1:42:50But I hope they fully keep our leaning into it. I'm pretty sure
- 1:42:55they are. But that was disturbing to me, honestly. I can't I
- 1:42:58mean not disturbing it, just like, wow, this relationship is it's fun.
- 1:43:01Like I thought THEO had some weird sec shouldn't it. No, this
- 1:43:04toxic is a toxic fucking relationship. And like I said, it could just
- 1:43:09if they you know, if you would just true to yourself, then fine,
- 1:43:12But no, everyone wants to be fucking weird and like we you know
- 1:43:15you mentioned that episode three real quick, and like he says this to Wolverine,
- 1:43:18like Wolverine is used to hearing this because they've been doing it. That
- 1:43:24danger room got damn in there too, y'all. Y'all don't understand what be
- 1:43:27going on in that. I mean, look, nig you can make holograms
- 1:43:30of anything. When more that can lead to some wile that's that button And
- 1:43:34for seven days straight it's said rogue and Magdido. Yeah, well, I
- 1:43:40mean we create and we'll get into that in that episode two because that's all
- 1:43:44third as well. Uh, last, but not least, at the end
- 1:43:47of this episode, Jean Gray's clone for everyone once again, this is you
- 1:43:54know, forty years of comments knowledge. Maddenon Pryor shows up at the door.
- 1:43:59Soap opera, soap opera and the drama continues, and that's pretty much
- 1:44:03it for episode two. All my children, days of our lives, all
- 1:44:11my children with my shit for real, know for real, and that was
- 1:44:15my shit growing up. I love me some, all my child Oh my
- 1:44:17god, I know my sister watch it, so you know I did.
- 1:44:20So my mom too watch it. Yeah, my mom and my sister watched.
- 1:44:24That's then had dad on it. Boy, I loved all my children.
- 1:44:28Oh my god. We will be back next week. We'll now,
- 1:44:30I'll be catching them all with you same time. What's that every Wednesday?
- 1:44:34Right? I think so? Yeah, I think so. I thought they
- 1:44:36would have gone with Saturday. I mean, like March twenty seventh, April
- 1:44:42third, are those wednesdays? Yeap, Yeah, it feels like a Wednesday,
- 1:44:45because Saturday would just be weird for them, you know, Saturday,
- 1:44:48like Saturday mornings are cartoons. Yeah, that's what I thought they would do,
- 1:44:51you know, emulate that feeling, bring it, bring it back.
- 1:44:54I got there, No Wednesday, and this is also a little too grown
- 1:44:58for Saturday morning to be honest, it's too outrageous. But they got saving
- 1:45:03to them moreph doing weird sec anyway. But I am very much enjoying the
- 1:45:10series. Like I said, like great pacing, great storytelling, even in
- 1:45:15a more contemporary at least images animation. But expression of these stories is crazy.
- 1:45:24But it's very much as I said earlier, or I said it way
- 1:45:27back in episode one, this is very much informed by the nineties stories in
- 1:45:30that nineties camp and approach, and I love it. It worked out for
- 1:45:35me. Yeah, you had your reservations and as, but like you know,
- 1:45:39it took your second. It took me a second, but entirely my
- 1:45:42fault. Like me, I was prepped because I went back and wats the
- 1:45:45ridgel and I was like, okay, just where we're at, you know,
- 1:45:47And I knew it wouldn't be you know, I know none of that.
- 1:45:49It's men are just going to get murdered off. You know, it's
- 1:45:51not gonna get like that. You know it's not gonna be that real.
- 1:45:54Yet you know, I don't think so. I don't think so. I
- 1:45:58met the man for Bishop, do you remember that. I know I never
- 1:46:05ain't no fucking way never. No. He wanted it to, you know,
- 1:46:10I know. And the thing is method is a good actor. You
- 1:46:13don't think he could do it. It's one of those things where it's like,
- 1:46:15it's just I'm just trying to see Method, man, you know,
- 1:46:17I'm never gonna see I mean, Bishop got the m right here, you
- 1:46:20know what I'm saying. I know what's the rook, but I mean he
- 1:46:23got the I'm just I don't know. Man. As much as I like
- 1:46:28Method as an actor, I still always see myth. You know, even
- 1:46:30when he's playing that lawyer on No, I mean the lawyer on Power,
- 1:46:33he is definitely not the lawyer. Yeah, he is the evil lawyer on
- 1:46:38Power. So maybe you know, maybe he could do Bishop. Maybe and
- 1:46:43he's older now, where like the grizzledness of Bishop, you know, might
- 1:46:45work. I don't know. He just looked too like, shit, I'm
- 1:46:48not racist. Some time. I'm sorry chopping to me, you know,
- 1:46:51like I'm sorry, you know, sorry man, you know, Hey,
