• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Hello, my babes, my dancers, my lovers, my artists, my friends,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: my athletes. Welcome back to Vanity Pharah. My name is
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Chris Pharah, or you're watching on YouTube. I'm not quite sure. Today,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we're talking, like we always do, about pop culture weird things.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: We're talking reality shows, docuseries. We're talking untold Reagan. Reagan?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Untold Reagan. Reagan. Breaking Badly. What if this was about
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Untold Ronald Reagan? Like a documentary about him. It's not.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's about the Australian breakdancing Olympian that took our breaths
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: away because we were laughing so hard at someone who
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: thought that they should breakdance on a national stage. That's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: what happened. And we're going to learn why. Why, how, why, how,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and why. What is the thought process of this person?
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Did this person think this person was good? Did this
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: person think this person was worthy? How did the world
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: line up in such a way that this person got
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to be a breakdancer in the Olympics? That's why anyone
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: would push play on this Netflix doc. Now, I'm going
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to tell you right up, not a good doc. Not
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a great one. And by that, I mean, it's not
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: unbiased about its subject. It very much feels like the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: purpose of this was to give a different side slash
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: almost like a PR puff piece about Reagan. I don't
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: want to keep saying Reagan, but I think it's Reagan.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's just, her name is Rachel and she, you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: dresses like some sort of best buy soccer player. That's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the look. Um, This documentary is not great. And you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: can know that if you watch documentaries in the first
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: five minutes, because it starts with a montage of social
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: media clamor. And it's something we've seen. And it's the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: exact same sort of means to an end. Screenshots of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: absolute frenzy, chaos of internet memes and tweets and posts
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: being like, At one point, people were talking a lot
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: about this thing. Now, here's the thing. The internet has
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: now been part of our lives for decades. So much
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: so that we all see the pattern, which is that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: surely the internet hounds itself for a dopamine hit. like
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a weird video or something for us all to take in,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: think about and comment on. Because it's a way of connection.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It's like why there was water cooler talk. It's why
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: at one point we had a monoculture when it came
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to television watching in that stories Where other people are
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: privy to them interests us because then we can talk
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: about it. And that's kind of like the internet stories
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that took over what used to be our friends pop
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: up like they do. And they die so fast, it's bananaramas.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And it's so heightened, right? Because when an internet story hits,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. deafening loud feels like it's everywhere and certainly
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: algorithms make it seem that way and surely something new
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: comes pushes it out and then it's like did that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: even happen so by the time this documentary is coming
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: out none of us care about her none of us
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: care about this In fact, there's so much happening in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the world that to watch a montage of people talking
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: about this dumb break dancer is like, oh my God,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: no one cares. But then the documentary takes a turn.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: And that turn is that we get introduced to her husband,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this guy named Sammy Sex, who looks like, he's like
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: curly hair. It's like very like, he looks like a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: righteous gemstone character. You know what I'm saying? Like, He
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: says that he had to change his name from Sammy
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Sex to something else because he was an emcee at
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: kids events. And he is the real one that was
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the breakdancer. He got wildly inspired watching that 80s doc breaking.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. We're obviously talking about a documentary right now.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And this one pales in comparison to some of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: best kind of like a documentaries we've seen. And there
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: are just so many seminal, weird, cool documentaries from the 70s, 80s,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and 90s. Remember sex, drugs, rock and roll, and that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: one with the kids, and obviously Grey Gardens? Yeah, there's like,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: oh my God. Yeah, there's just like Paris is Burning.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I say the one with the kids. What was it?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: else with like kids. And they were like, fucking, I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: forgot what it was called. Was it sex, drugs, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: rock and roll? There was another one with kids, fucking,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: not kids. You know what I'm saying? Teens, like 17,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like in New York city or something like where it
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: was not. God, what was it called? Yeah. There's just like, there's, yeah, there's, well, there's, yeah. Anyway. Okay.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: So moving on, all that to say, breaking the dance documentary,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: which was about break dancing, Underground really, honey, fucking hit
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Sammy as a white kid in Australia. I mean, he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: saw that and he was like, that's it. Those are
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: my people. Got to get to them, you know? And
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: so he does what any like hardened break dancer would do.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: He starts working as a proactive salesperson. I forgot about proactive. God,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I forgot about Proactiv. For some reason, I never used Proactiv.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I used Accutane. Proactiv was everywhere. Oh my God. Yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: just like tele... There was telemarketers for Proactiv? I guess
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. I definitely remember there was like
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: infomercials and there was like obviously a subscription service. Jesus.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Life was so different. Anyway, so he is working at
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Proactiv and there is someone else there and he meets
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this person and that's Raegon. And her name is Rachel,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like I said, and I'll just keep calling her Rachel now.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: So there's like dark, like close-up shots where he meets her.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, he just tells her that there's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this thing called breaking and that's breakdancing, b-boying, b-girling, you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like the culture and And Rachel's like, oh, tell me more.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And then she like goes to an event, a dance off,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a battle. And she sees this one lady who's like
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: not really talking, but then the lady dances. And Rachel
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is just like, oh my God, that lady gets to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: dance and she's not doing ballet. She's like, I just
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: like the fact that gender is irrelevant. And I'm like, oh,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: she's going to go back and start talking about gender.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you one thing about Rachel, honey. I've never
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: lived in Australia. She is very affected by gender all
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the time. Like she lives and like she is, she feels, yeah, she,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: gender is her thing. Like she is highly feministic in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: a certain way. Okay. The best part of this documentary
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: are her parents. Russell and Beverly. And Russell and Beverly
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: feel very detached from Rachel. First of all, we'd never
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: seen them together. They're just always canoodling and like giggling
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: together in confessionals. And it feels like they have like
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: such a good life together. And it certainly feels like
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: they sort of like, it feels like Rachel's one of 27. kids.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And they just did what they had to do. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that's one of the 27. That's her parents vibe the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: entire time. They love each other though. But it's like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: you know, which one's that one? Okay. She had done
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of like ballet and tap growing up. So
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that's why when she saw Breaking, she was like, girls
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: don't have to be on their tippy toes. we meet
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: two other b-girls in the australian scene which is important
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: because we don't know where we're standing in this world
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: we're like okay are there any legitimate breakdancing people in Australia. Now,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Chris Farah is going to be, to you, is going
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: to be like, of course there has to be. A,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people in this world. B,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: because dancers get everywhere and it's like an art form. And,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you know, it's an art form that like is a
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: little later on in this world. And we're in a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: digital age. Like, how could you not get good at something?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It's a very popular art form. You would just have
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to you know, go around the people that are that good.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, sure. I just, and Australia is huge. The
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: other thing about Australia, I find, as I find Australian
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: artists to be top goddamn tier, like I feel like
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Australian dancers, actors, like I think Australian artists, like comedians,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: like they give a lot of money for the arts
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and they are like, I just think that they, when
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: push comes to shove, I think that Australians create a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: lot of great art. Having said that, so I just
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: don't understand why there wouldn't be good break dancers. Surely
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: there's good other dancers. And like, you know, it's dance
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: at a certain stage becomes less subjective and more objective
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: of just about technique and stuff like that. So, okay.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Having said that, we are like, okay, we're going to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: meet two of the people in the scene so we
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: can understand the lay of the land. And there's some
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like curly haired girl. She like is really cute. Like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: almost looks like What's that curly-haired, brown-haired girl who's like
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Pamela Adlon's daughter that's like a big deal now? Odessa.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking about that girl. She has that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: girl's hair, and they call her Tiny Locks. She was
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a year ahead of Rachel, I guess, in the scene.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And the other thing about this doc is that they're like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: anytime we show you a name, we're going to either
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: choose to show it to you in normal font or
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: we'll show it to you in this graffiti font that
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: looks like it's glitch, like neon glitch. I'm like, oh,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: my God. It's hard to read. So we jump back
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to 2016, battle of the year. She tries to dance
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and she gets eaten alive. She's really bad. And Tiny
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Lock starts to say this thing, there's no easy props,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: that b-girls are fighting to be seen because there's not
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. But what had happened was because
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of them, sometimes when there'd be
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a b-girl, people would just start clapping. And so that
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: b-girl would think that she'd be really good and there'd
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: be like an annoying thing because if you are good
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: it's just it takes away from us if you are
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: just getting accolades for being shitty and then low-key tiny
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: lux is being like and that person is rachel see
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: what i did there i said it without saying it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: said it i said it though then we meet another
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: lady she has blonde hair her name is flix and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: she was like you know the first b girl one
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of the first b girl battle people And when she
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: said that she saw the Olympic routine, she said she
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: felt offended and embarrassed by it. Yeah. So we go
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: back to Rachel, honey, who's obviously dating Sammy and wants
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: his approval or is also just really into it. her
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and Sammy have a very weird, interesting relationship. Sometimes that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: sort of makes me feel like it's Whitney's and like
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Whitney's dude from Mom Talk, but also like something else.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: He's like, okay. First of all, again, it starts with
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: so much of Sammy that you're like, who the fuck
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: are you? And why are you talking so much? Are
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you producing this documentary? Who are you? How could, okay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Because then it became this thing where I'm like, okay,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: If her whole thing is like being a feminist and
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, your whole thing is that you just
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: like met some dude and became obsessed with the thing
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that he was obsessed with. And now you both do
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the thing that he's obsessed with and neither of you
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: do it well. That's the story. I think. Moving on.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: But I think that's the story. So... We jump back.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Rachel's obviously getting really into this scene. And then so
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: she's like, well, I'm going to do, you know, the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: most important thing one does. I'm going to start researching
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and writing theories about it and getting a PhD in it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: But really the PhD isn't in like breaking as much
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: as it's like her ideas of gender within the very
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: small breaking scene that she has witnessed in Australia. Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they say the name of her thesis statement
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and of her two things. Chris Farah is like equal
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: amounts dumb and smart. And I haven't gotten my PhD.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: And so anyone who has, God bless them. And this
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is a smart thing for her to do. On the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: other hand, some of the verbiage when you get to
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: those higher echelon levels of academia are so... elitist and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: stupid sounding. Like her thesis payment sounds something like the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: de-territorialization of gender in the B-boy scene, like colon one
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: B-girl's journey into womanhood. It's like not that, but something
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: like very similar to that where you're like, oh my God,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: God bless it. Where I'm like, it just feels like
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you are commandeering this topic just to like in your eyes,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like you just, this is your experience of this world
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and topic that you are only now mildly familiar with.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And it's like kind of in a cringy way. It's interesting.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It's like, If you ever want to write in Hollywood,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: if you ever want to write in New York, if
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you ever want to write narrative, like personal work that,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: you know, either like a fiction or something, but it's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: like yourself. If you want to sell it and you
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: haven't sold maybe something before, the best thing that they
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: tell you to do is to write what you know.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: And it's because... you will have the best way to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: talk people into buying your script, literally producers and or
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: people by saying that only you through the experiences and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: places you are in your life could tell this story
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: because somehow you are the expert or you are the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: person that can like lead someone into this world. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like, for instance I can't like be well
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start playing pickleball like I went to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: a lesson and so let me bring you into the
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: world of pickleball like you're like I'm sure there's a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: lot of people that could do better and then if
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you ever saw me on the court you'd be like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: bitch what get off the court you know but you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: know there are things where I can be like let
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: me show you the world of alternative comedy in LA
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: or producing your own show or weird camp drag theater
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: or improv or, you know, Lebanese debutante, which is why
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I wrote my one woman show about being a Lebanese
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: debutante when I'm 15, because I think that that is
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: a very specific world that I know a lot about
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and not a lot of people do. And I know
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: better than other people. I know what it's like to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: be a Lebanese debutante in the late in Southern California,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: specifically how to juggle being very much American, but also
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: this other culture and also how to deal with having
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: to come out to society and being a woman while
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: also not having a mother figure in your life. That's
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: what my story is about. Why? Because I feel like
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it's very obviously me. Only I can say it. I
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: have the authority on it. That's why I feel like, yeah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like she's someone who wants to be the authority on
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: something and that she doesn't have claim to. And yet
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: being the authority on it, having that, is just that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: she also wants a certain level of fame or acknowledgement, right?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: But it's cheap because she's not worked for it and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: she's not good at the thing that she wants to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: be the thing, the best at. So it's like, it's so...
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But this, okay. So anyway, that's just, you would just
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: read her thesis and be like, oh girl, you are insufferable. Really.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Something else about Rachel is that throughout this documentary, you're like,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: what do you look like? Your face looks different every
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: time I see you. I don't know what she looks like.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: She has one of those faces that is just neither
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: here nor there. You know, and I think that I
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: feel bad to say this because she's someone who has
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that kind of face and would get mad at you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: if you didn't remember her and you hadn't met her
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: and the problem is she is exactly that like she
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: is her face is immemorable you wouldn't be able to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: like glue it there. If you try, there's no, there
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: are no discernible features that align in such a way
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: that can like imprint her on you. So every time
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: they show her, I'm like, okay, Brownie. Okay. She's like,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: she's like, it's weird. It's so interesting. Weird. Um, and yeah, again,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying she's ugly. I'm not saying she's pretty.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, I just can't even tell you what she
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: looks like. Brown hair. It's like, what, She's such a,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it's like a blank. I don't know. It's vague. It's blank.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It's like, okay. All right. So it's like her battle
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: history of wins. Okay. Just kidding. Her advisor for her
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: thesis statement said that it was ambitious. When I want
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to be like, can you just be honest? I don't know, indulgent?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: I think that was a better, obnoxious? Oh, I did
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: write it down. Deterritorializing gender in Sydney's breakdancing scene, colon,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a b-girl's experience of b-boying. Okay, so guess what? Uh,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: her experience in the de-territorializing, I can't even fucking say,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I keep trying so hard. De-territorializing. Her experience, which I
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: think would be very different and also should be a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: footnote to this for any other female that wants to like,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: be like, what's it like? Is that her husband, Sammy
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: coaches her. So I just don't even think that's real
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: because in like most females would be like, well, what's
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: it like in the scene? Are not going to have
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: their own husband coach them. Also, he's not good. He's good.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Why is he coaching you? Why is the blind leading
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the blind? But there, you know, it's like we never,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: this is the problem. No one with any dancing credibility
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: will be caught dead on this documentary. So we never
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get to see truly high quality dancing in Sydney. The only...
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: good dancing that we see are the clips from the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Olympics that they show that we assume they get the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: rights to because they are the Olympic quote like things,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: but they never even really, they never interview any of
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the people that were other Olympians from the other countries
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that she battled, not anything. They never interview any well-known
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: B-boy or B-girl, period. Remember when we all used to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: watch So You Think You Can Dance? Remember that guy, Philip, like,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Cheba or Cheba? He was like, I forgot. He was like, maybe,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: he's a Middle Eastern of some kind. Maybe like that.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of, like, there are, no one.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: They got, remember Mary Poppins? I know you do. There
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: were like so many good B people. And that was
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: just like, so you're thinking dance 20 years ago. Could
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: you imagine if they just, I mean, yeah, they didn't
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: slip into any DMs or truly the entire, it must
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: be this, the entire breakdancing industry must be like, fuck
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: that B. If you are on that doc, you're not
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: one of us. It really is interesting. So obviously they
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: get married and they start to be like this thing
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: where they're like, yeah, after coaching, she starts to adopt
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: my style or am I adopting her style? What's what?
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: They ask her, are you adopting his style? She's like,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. They make it a big fucking
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: point to ask her that she's adopted his style when
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: it's like, is his style... bland mediocrity, basic mediocrity, this
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: documentary is going to really try and be like, they're creatives.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: They think out of the box. Like their style is
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: just like, not power moves. Like, you know how, like,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it's like almost like they want to be like, okay,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: what you guys think b-ball and b-girl and b-boying are,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: That's mostly power moves. But the real stuff is in
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the transitions and the fun creativity you throw in there.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: You're just like... You can't do any of those moves.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That's why you think it's that way. Also, your technique
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: is bad. If you can't do a backbend, you can't
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: go back really well. You can't make a very... clean
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: line that is sharp, where your body and its movement
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: articulates the ends of movements in a very strong, hard-hitting,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: or interesting way, you're not doing the dance. It's like
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: so weird, right? Like when you think in the micro
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: granular moments of what makes a truly great dancer versus
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: someone who can move well, What makes a truly gifted
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: vocalist over someone who can sing or carry a tune?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Like what is like, oh, that person can sing if
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you're listening to karaoke and like they're getting everything right.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And you're like, eh, but you will tune it out easily.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: It's still like mundane kind of like elevator music, which
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: is music. It's, you know, it makes sense to the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: moments in time in which you hear a line of
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a voice being sung and you're like, what the fuck?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Or when you watch a dancer do a piece of choreography,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: maybe you've seen a different dancer do it, or maybe
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you are just in the perfect place and time with
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: someone who is so brilliantly gifted that their body is
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: in real time giving movement to music with breath in
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a way that connects you spiritually. And it's like, and yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it's because these people like become vessels and vehicles for
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: like some sort of artistic greatness. Like, I don't know
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: how to say it. Like when, you know, yeah, when
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: you see someone, it's like, it's of course a perfect
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: combination of someone being incredibly gifted, prone to something, maybe
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: even blessed physically through their own genetics and technique practice
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and a certain amount of luck to just be able
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to sing that well or move their body and hit
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: certain things so sharply that it takes your breath away.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: It's just... We've all experienced that. And I think that
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: we all kind of know if we've ever, we can
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: do it ourselves or if we've even touched moments of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: being able to do it. I can't dance. Obviously I
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: can't sing or dance wildly. Well, I've had moments of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: singing pretty good, not on this podcast, but you know
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Where I'm like, okay, well, cause I'm
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: in character and I can do something, whatever. It's usually
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: in character. but I know I'm not a good dancer
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and I know I'm not going to go out there
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and sing opera. Even if I think that I have
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a good voice and even if I think that I'm
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: flexible and can like kick, like at a certain age,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: if you're 30 and or more, And wanting to do
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: something that's artistic and call yourself a professional that you
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: don't get paid for, but you want to be at
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a level that you're never going to get at because
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you never have been at it and no one around
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: you is at it. What is real and what's not?
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: At this point in the doc, it becomes weird because
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: we're like, I need the doc to tell us that
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: like no actual dancers would film because they have this
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: gun Louie who is going to throw the Oceana qualifying event.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: We've met two other break girl dancers. We've seen them
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: break girl dance and they're better than Rachel, but still
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: not wildly great. And Sammy, who's her coach, who he
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: thinks he has his own style is is so bad,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: we're so fucking confused. Okay, so the Olympics are going
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: to happen, obviously, we know, in Paris in 2020. And
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: breaking becomes an Olympic sport. And so, as we say,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: they have qualifiers. Now, the way that it worked is
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that Oceania, which is like Australia, New Zealand, you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: some of the French Polynesia, like a bunch of islands,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: God bless. I'm sorry, I don't know what Oceania is.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I realized, I was like, oh, that's interesting. I would just,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: if you said Oceania, I'd be like, Little Mermaid? Okay,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: and that's because I'm a dumb American. That's on me.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: It's my fault. It's not even America's fault. It's Chris
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Farah's fault. Okay, so at the qualifier, that lovely older
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: lady was like, I'm 41, so she loses against Rachel.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: We're like, what? The curly-haired girl didn't want to do
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the Olympics. She's like, I'm a B-girl at heart. I'm
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: not a B-girl for the Bucks. We're like, oh. Okay. Okay. Um,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: so Rachel is there and she says she flies through
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the first two rounds. So already we're like, what? Oh, I,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: when we see Rachel dance and we know this from
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: watching obviously the Olympics, it feels like there is nothing
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: that the woman does that I feel like I can't do.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: And that's just not how it should be. I should
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: be wrecked with jealousy at V a certain amount of
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: like hopeless futileness watching someone do something at the Olympic
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: level in that I'll never be able to do it.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I can't be like, Oh, what should I be? Oh,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Olympic break dancer. Now let me get into this more,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: but it's like, it is, it's, It's just crazy. It's just,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: it's very, it's very intense. Okay. So as I said,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: she flies through the first two rounds, the last rounds
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: against some frizzy haired girl, Molly. And the other girl
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: like does something she says I couldn't do. And Reagan
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: like never, wait, I'm so sorry. I'm reading my notes
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: and it's weird. Okay. Okay. The other girl I think
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: is better. Okay. The other girl has a lot more
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: like groove and a lot more style. Now, I don't
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: know why Rachel wins. Okay. It's like, and it's like
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: real back and forth, like one, one. And somehow Rachel
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: like takes it up. Okay. And they have, they show
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: us the judges and there's like three guys and none
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: of them look pleased at all. I don't know what,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: what they're doing there or if they have eyes. The
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: minute Rachel wins, some lady appears to do a drug
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: test because now they're in business and the business is
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the Olympic business. You better not do any drugs. And
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my God, I wonder if they
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: knew that. I don't want to put labels on girls
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and b-boys, but I wonder if all the people that
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: were b-girls and b-boys at all the qualifying events throughout
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: the world knew that if they won immediately after they
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: would be drug tested. Because I would think that some
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: weed and some of them systems... Okay. Rachel also says this,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: which I find to be so weirdly like entitled and
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: delusional and Karen that I'm like, she's someone who I
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: think is going to like have one of like a
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: viral video happen again. But this one will be like
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: her drunk on a plane because she says that. So no,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: now she obviously qualifies for the Olympics and she's like,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I thought they're, they would have like a training program
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: for me. Like I thought I would have like a
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: nutritionist provided. And it's like, you thought what? You thought
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the Olympics were going to train you to be a
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: break dancer? Bitch, you should already be a break dancer.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. They're supposing you already do that. They're
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: supposing you've already got that. They think you know how
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: to break dance. They don't know that for some reason
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: some weird guy named Louie was head of this whole
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: qualifying event and does not know up from down. Like,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was done so shoddily. I'm like, is
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: this real life? It feels like it's some beauty pageant.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: You know how there's all those off-brand beauty pageants? Always
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: called something crazy. Mrs. International... hosting America pageant. You're like, what?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Just words. International, beauty, pageant, America, Ms., Mrs. You're just like,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you know, pick them out of like a fishbowl, like
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: three of them and make a pageant. You know, like
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: it does feel like that sometimes. It feels like those
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: pageants have more organization than what the fuck Louis did
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: for this qualifying event. Okay. So obviously now they have
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to do this thing and they... this is where the
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: documentary like becomes like a multi-cam sitcom, like cast a
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: hijinks where it's like a weird montage-y like of like,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: of like, what's the, um, Rocky, oh, like a Rocky
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Balboa montage of like someone getting in shape. Like, She's
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: going to go on the plan. The plan is like
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: strength training. She has to learn how to do power
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: moves and even do a power move. She has to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: be able to balance like core wise on her body.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: But these are things that people that are professional dancers
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: have been doing and know how to do. They know
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: how to do that. They know how to do those
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: handstands and all that shit, but this bitch doesn't. She's
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: not dancer. She is a hobbyist. I mean, this is
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: so crazy. I mean, this is so bananas. It's so
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: crazy that she was like, put me in coach. Okay. So,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: and coach being the world. Okay. So- She has to
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: learn how to do these power moves because she knows
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: it's high-scoring things. Like we said, there's this guy named
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Louie that oversees all of the Australian bee community, which
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I would kick him out. It feels like she...
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: This exactly feels like someone who would... decide to book
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: themselves in a 5k that, and they've never ran before,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: but they're doing that to force themselves into a like
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: running training program. Cause it's like, well, I wouldn't do
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: it unless I had the deadline. So now I know
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I have to run a 5k and you know, two
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: weeks you're like, oh my God, bitch, you have a
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: lot to strain for, you know, it's like that kind
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: of thing. It's like she did that version and instead
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of the 5k, it was the Olympics. And she was like, well,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I guess I have to become a B girl now.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: And it's like, Oh my God, bitch. No, you have
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to be one. Literally have to be, be already be
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: already be a B girl. All right. So, um, she
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: then says, That she had never consistently been in the gym.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And that one time someone told her that girls don't
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: do power moves, she said. And I want to be like, wait. So.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: is a B-girl, B-boy culture a feminist culture or is
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: it not? I thought your whole thing was you entered
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: into the space being like, girls dance like the boys dance.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: You literally said that. And now you're saying that you
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: don't do the hardest kind of, best kind of B-girl,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: B-boy moves, not because you can't and you don't know
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: how to or you refuse to train, because some person
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: told you that little girls can't and you internalize that
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: and believe that even though your whole fucking thing is
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: being a feminist? That's why someone told you, someone told
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: you you can't. And so you were like, okay. Which
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, makes no sense because even I know
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and can see that girls are always doing power moves.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: There's always girls spin on their heads and shit. Are
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: you talking? It's okay. It's just hard. I, you know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: truthfully don't watch as much like battling in a B-girl,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: B-boy way as much as I probably watch like drag battling, like,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: you know, like that girl dancer Polly and stuff like that.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I like, you know, I don't know how to say
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: her last name. Like I do watch a lot of
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: that kind of dancing, but any kind of battle dancing and,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you know, B-girl or drag, like ball, ballroom, that kind
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: of thing are always going to need the rousing excitement audience,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: like visceral reaction that a power moves. That's why a
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: death drop happens all the time in those, in ball moves.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: That's why you see them. They're jaw dropping, you know?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: That's why it's exciting. So she's like, I've never been
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: surrounded by serious, serious athletes. people were probably wondering why
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I was here. And it's like, yeah, because there's serious athletes.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: And they're like, why is this person here? We're at
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the Olympics. She goes to Taiwan to find people for
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: power moves. I just want to be like, I wish
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: one of them would just look at camera and be like,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have it. So she starts to try and
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: break this down, but they're going to go on different stops.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And they go to a master's, and she doesn't even
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: make it. She doesn't make it past the preliminary. And
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: she sees her competition, and we're supposed to assume that
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: she's been seeing her competition. But then they start to
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: be like, it starts to set in how hard it's
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: going to be. And it's like, oh. You guys don't
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: have the internet? You never saw what people were doing
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: in other parts of the world? You thought you and
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Louis were just, you know... making quick moves and that
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: was it. So Flix, which is the older lady who
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: had been in the qualifier with the blonde hair, said
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: that she saw a post and the post was of
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Rachel dancing and it was sloppy. And that it started
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: to become like, oh no, she won and it's going
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: to be really bad for us at the Olympics. And
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Tiny Locks is like, Yeah, well, yeah, I was sloppy
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: in that video, but it's always sloppy. It's Rachel. Tiny
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: locks comes for her. It makes me happy because it's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: like it has to be done. So what has happened
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: is they are like, Louie becomes our head coach and
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Sammy is like the other coach. And Louie's like, yep,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I'm the head coach. And is also like, I trained
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: with her like three times. We're like, bitch, do you
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: know what head coach means? I don't know why it is.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: It feels like something... There must be some rumored reason
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: why Louie was made the head coach and nothing was
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: asked of him. And also, Louie seems to have no
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: responsibility for himself and her. He doesn't feel like he has...
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: There's no reason why he should feel that he's in
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: anything wrong. And that's another thing. I definitely wish the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: producers of this doc were like, hey, Louie, do you
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: think you have any culpability in her not being ready
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: for the Olympics since you said that you were her
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: head coach and you had already witnessed her dancing before?
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: So you knew her skill level? Thoughts would be a
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: great question. Never asked. Okay. He's like, I was so busy.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I do all the admin stuff. So just really spread thin. Well,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: ma'am Louie. They missed stop two. They realized things aren't
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: doing it well. And so you're like, they have like
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: three weeks left. And they're like, we're like, okay, so
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: is this where you decide to finally buckle down and quit?
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Is this where you decide to call in the best
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: B dancer of all time to give you one trick,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: at least one way to win this? No. What they
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: decide to do is just go on a media blitz.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: And there is a clip show of them just going on,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: media parents at a media parents, just talking about this.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And it's maybe the only subtle time that the documentary
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: shows us, I think, in an unspoken way, that these
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: people are grifters. That they were just in it for
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit of fame. And whatever their con was, breakdancing.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: She has to, on these news programs, say things like,
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going for a medal. When she knows she's She
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: has no chance. So then Louie's like, yeah, it was
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: a losing battle. She starts to have mental health issues.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: She says she goes on an antidepressants. I'm like, oh,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: so you have a, why? Like, is it because she
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: has anxiety? And I guess my thing is at some point,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: I know we have such things as imposter syndrome, and
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I know the Olympics is a high-level place, but sometimes
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I also want to be like, is anxiety and fear
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: there to save us from making horrible decisions? Should I
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: call her delusional if she, in fact, has fear and
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: anxiety over the decisions that she's making? Because she seems
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: to be just bypassing them. I am assuming an actual
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: delusional person would never have them. Producer's like, hey, why
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: don't you guys just quit? And she said because she
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: would have regretted it. It seems like they thought the
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Olympics were a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that doesn't happen to anyone
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: that you should just go along for the ride with
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: like you would do if you got cast in a
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: reality show or something. something like that. It's just that
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: what it negates is the respect for the athletes who
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: have trained for this thing their whole lives that you
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: just feel like you fell into. You know, it's like, yeah,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: you didn't, win a spot on like the bachelorette. Like
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you somehow finagled your way into the Olympics and you
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: don't deserve to be there. And it's so shocking. You
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: want people to not be horrified that you didn't realize that. It's,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: you know what it is? It's like a weird level
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: of being rude. It's like so inappropriate. Her inability to
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: like know her place and what is appropriate for her
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: level of skill and what this event is, is so
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: off that it's just like anti-socially rude. But she's going
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: to frame it in many different ways and none of
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: it is like take accountability for it. Okay. So... Her
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: parents are having some health issues and her mom had
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: three aneurysms. She almost died. We're like, oh, so sad
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: for her mom or whatever. But also they're like, maybe
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: we won't go. And we're like, oh my God. I mean,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: you're saving yourself, but God bless. Rachel's like, my goal
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: became just to get one vote. And it's interesting. It's like, why?
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Why do you want one vote? Is it because you
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: want to think to yourself- that someone thinks that your
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: artistic work is better than obviously a more talented person's,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: that'd be for your ego. If your whole thing is
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: a love of this art form that you're going to study,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you want the best work to win? And at
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: this point, We all know it's not going to be yours.
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: So it's incredibly like, it's an ego-driven want for your
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: work to be like accoladed when it's obviously like far
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: beneath where we are. And it doesn't deserve it. Like
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: not everyone deserves a participation trophy, right? And you aren't
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: a victim of that. You aren't a victim of not winning.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: You aren't a victim of being as good as everyone
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: else in this one thing. It's like, I guess that
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: whole thing is like, you can be whatever you want
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: to be. You can't be whatever you want to be.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: You can't be one of the best dancers in the
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: world if you aren't one of the best dancers in
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: the world. You know? And that's the truth. Like, I
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: can't be queen of America. I mean, what to tell you?
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: You can't be like, Chris, if you really want to
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: be Queen of America, you'll find a way. What am
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I going to do? Try and take over the entire
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: government and then enact a monarchy and make myself a queen?
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to do that. I have
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: no guns. I'm scared of confrontation, much less any sort
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: of violence. I mean, you know, what? If you wanted enough, Chris,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: you would raise an army. I mean, you know, like, no.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: She can't dance. I can't be Queen of America. I'd
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: be a better queen of America than she'd be a dancer.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: But I can't get what I want. Anyway. She starts
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: to frame her choices being thusly. She started to realize
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: that she had no hope, that she did not have
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the technique there, that she, after studying in Taiwan and
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: after all the strength training, that she barely made any
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: actually workouts and she can't balance herself. enough to do, again,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: one exciting move. So instead, she's going to just do
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: weird choreography. And the weird choreography is going to have
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: ties to Australia. So she's going to jump around like
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: a kangaroo and she's going to do some dolphin shit.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: And she's going to do a sprinkler. And she's going
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: to present a living, breathing testimony to the history of
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Australia in dance form. And then she's going to use
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: that coupled with, I'm a woman, so don't you fucking
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: fuck with me, to be like, that was the choice
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I made. Creativity. And I was hounded for it. Hounded.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Because I was a smart Australian scholar, patriotic, loved kangaroos,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: was trying to teach you stupid assholes about them. Her
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: story about arriving in Paris, honey, and Sammy cannot be
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: with her because I'm like, you guys have such a
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: fucking codependent relationship. And she's walking through the village and
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: she doesn't know what the thing is or she has
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: a panic attack. honey. And then, you know, I'm just like, yeah,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: that's your body being like run away. You just don't listen.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: And then it was interesting. She said that in the village,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: they have like a meditation room with a VR headset
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: that like makes people like visualize walking out in front
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: of all the people and the screaming and stuff like that.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: And I was like, Oh my God, could you imagine
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: playing that VR game? I want to be like, I
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: want to be an Olympian. I don't know. I, would
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: be so excited if there was a VR game, exactly
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: like she described, I'm going to pick figure skating, obviously,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: where it's like, I get to walk, I get to
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: like glide onto an ice. And so it's like, you
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: feel that. And then people are, you know, roaring excited.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: And then somehow you can like do a routine and
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: like learn how to like jump in ways that designates
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: you doing a triple axel in the VR world. And
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: then you could do a whole goddamn routine. And in
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: the very end of the routine, people obviously uproariously cheer
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: and like throw roses at you. And if there was
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: such a VR as me being able to virtually do
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: some sort of Olympic ice skating routine, I would probably
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: die doing the VR because I'd be like in a
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: constant loop. I would never stop doing it. I'd be like,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: She died doing what she loved, pretending to dance in
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: her head. She starts to get excited that maybe she'll
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: just have an amazing experience, but she's also excited because
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: it's soon to be over. Sammy, Sammy the entire time
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: is like, you can do it, babe. Just be confident
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: out there. Just be present, whatever happens. Sammy never is like,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I should have told her that she wasn't good enough
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: and saved us this. I should have been like a
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: voice of reason. I should have like tried. I should have.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't. Sammy was like living vicariously through her or
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: both of them. They both just loved how famous she
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: was and like going on local news radio stations. They
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: go to the Place de la Concorde where they're having
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: the big battle. Everyone's watching. It's like 1.30 a.m. when
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: the battle's happening in Australia, but Flix and Tinylocks are there.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Louis gets to be on the floor while Sammy is
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: up there. It's like the 17 best B-girls on the planet,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: says the announcer. We're like... 16, maybe. Snoop is there.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I forgot Snoop was so all over these 2020 Olympics.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm always so confused by that. Who did... Why? Why?
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: How does someone get paid? How much money did he
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: get paid to somehow be the face of the fucking Olympics?
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: Celebrityhood is so crazy sometimes. Okay. First battle is Reagan
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: versus logistics. Reagan versus... Reagan... Reagan versus logistics from America.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: None of the people that she battles are given the
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: time of day. We don't get to see them or
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: talk to them. They barely show them. Obviously, they didn't
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: get the rights. It's obvious that they... It would have
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: been great to have any of them be like, I
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: didn't know what to expect. But then when she started dancing...
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: I was shocked. I want to be like, yeah, what'd
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: you think? First round, 18-0. She thought she would get
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: a vote. She doesn't. Sammy rushes down to be like,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, wifey, for not being honest with you.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: This is going to be hard. And I didn't set
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: you up for success. No, just kidding. He's like, you're
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: doing great. Keep going. That's great. This is crazy. Talk
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: about gray gardens. Talk about mommy dearest. What happens with
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: couples that get together that just live in kooky, kooky
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: town together? You're like, ooh. She's like, I don't think
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. Why am I so slow? She says, yeah,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: you are 23 levels down. from where these people are
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: as dancers. You're just so off. It's just that the
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: way your body moves, the way these people move, these
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: people are professional dancers. You'll never move like them. I
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: am just surprised that you have the wherewithal to know
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: that you are going slower than them because I honestly
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: don't even know if you know that you look different.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: So when she starts saying things like that, you're like, oh, okay,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I get it. You do know. You do know that
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: you are slower than them. You do know that there
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: is a difference. Now, whether you just decided in real
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: time to get over the cringe or whether you decided
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: that if anyone tries to make fun of me about this,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to play victim, play like a feminist
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: victim about it. So it'll work out for me. I'll
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: get a Netflix special. I'm not quite sure what she
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: told herself, but that is what's happening. Second battle, France,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: this girl named Cece. France happens. She says it was
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: a blur. It's 18-0. Third round is the world champ.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: She's 17. Now, when the world champ and her are
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: going against each other, Rachel does this thing where she like,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I guess you have to act cocky, you know, when
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: you do this kind of shit. So she's like, Yawning
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: like as if what the world champ is doing is
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: boring her when it's like so the other way around.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: When it's so crazy insulting, like it is so like, yeah, like,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: I mean. Louis says he's speechless watching it. Here's the thing, though.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Rachel's like, I got an ace up my sleeve. Yeah,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: she's the 70-year-old child prodigy dancer that can dance circles
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: around me, truly. But they have no idea what I got.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: So she starts her routine, which we've seen in real time.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: But the way the documentary shows it is that they
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: show it like it's edited like the climactic scene of
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Little Miss Sunshine. there's lights. It's supposed to be like
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: she's in her creative land, like she's Dolly or Picasso
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: on some other realm of consciousness and of joy creating
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: from a different place that should be connecting us all
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: from her sense of wild abandon and freedom. That's the
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: vibe that the montage wants us to think it is.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Louis says he had to hide his face. Sammy said
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: he was struck by the beauty of the performance. She
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: starts to go viral, obviously. She sees the memes, Rachel
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Dratch on Fallon, which, Rachel Dratch, please, I wish they
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: would just give, like, a panel of female comedians, a
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: late night talk show. Obviously, Chelsea Lately had one. And obviously,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: we have The View, but those aren't comedians. There's so
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: many funny females. I wish there was a late night
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: panel where it would be Rachel Dratch or, I don't know,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: Anna Gaskier. Anyone funny from any part of our lives
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: that could just go and sit and talk about pop
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: culture things for like a nighttime. They don't talk about,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, just make my dream come true.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: I think she'd be so funny and be like, there's
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: a billion people, Sherry O'Terry would be so funny on it.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously. You can like, it could be like
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Jenny Slate. I mean, I don't mean to like pick
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: people from SNL. You could do so many people. Okay.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: So basically... We get a little opinion from Snoop being like, yeah,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: when I watched it, I had a laugh. And that's
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: when Rachel's like, The vitriol that came in, honey, it
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: took a turn. It was so hateful. And it was
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: just because I was a female. If anyone else did
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: it that had a penis, people would be laughing. What
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: a fun guy. What a little jester going out there
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: and making fun. But because it was me and my boobies,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: people were so mad. And I'm mad about that because
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I am a feminist like Chris Farah is. Chris Farah
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: is a feminist and she knows that it's a hard
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: world out there. It is a hard world out there.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: And it's like hard when women are judged, you know, like...
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: are incredibly gifted and talented and are in communities of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: people that will not give them shots or will not
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: relate to what they're doing or don't get them in
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: such a way because they only care about what they
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: care about and they are usually not either BIPOC or
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: female or queer in any kind of way, right? Okay.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: But this is not that kind of situation. She's battling
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: other females. Also, no one's making fun of her sexuality
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: or her body or anything about her gender at all.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: They are purely making fun of your skill level. It's
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: so wildly, purely technique and skill-based, the criticisms. lambasted against you,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: which are merited because you have none. You don't have
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: those skills. She asks people to stop harassment. People start
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: to also say that there was a conspiracy that her
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: stupid husband was one of the judges or paid the
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: judges that were in the qualifying round and then everyone
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: had to come and be like, that's not true. They
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: were independent. They're just shitty. And there's just not a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: lot of B-girls, Louis said. Jinx was like, listen, the
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: truth is, at the qualifying Oceana round, she was just
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: the best that day. And then we're like, okay, so
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: you guys have no one. No one's, yeah, just like, yeah,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: and if you are a B-girl, you swim away from
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Australia as fast as humanly possible. That's what we're guessing.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Then we get a lot of video diaries of Rachel
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: crying and struggling. which is indulgent. It's hard. Listen, I
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: have become completely like calloused to watching anyone hold a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: selfie vertical camera to their face and cry into it.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I can't actually do it. I can't do it. I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: think it's indicative of a mental disorder. It's now one
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: of the first signs, I think. If you do that,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: if I see you do it, if someone does it,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: unless it's very particular, I mean, it's a very specific situation.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: And even then, okay, God bless. You know when, what's
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: that lady's name? Oh, that nice lady whose mom got kidnapped. Nancy,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: my God. And then honey, you know what I'm saying? Okay, that.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Even her crying videos weren't like her holding her camera.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Like someone had the good grace to be holding it
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: in front of her as she cried for her mom.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: And I really obviously am so sad about that. It's
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: like we live in an influencer culture there, culture though,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: where people really just will hold up a fucking camera
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: and be like, you guys, I can't believe I'm doing this.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I might delete this later, but you know, it's like, whatever,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: you know, like just deal with it. Then call a
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: best friend, call a therapist, call someone in your life,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: go off, go offline. Anyway, she's doing what she's doing.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: She says that she was cringe and brought shame and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: embarrassment on the country. We're like, how about the art form?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Do you not get that you were like wildly entitled
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: to the art form itself, that you misrepresented the art?
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: You cannot break dance that well. Bitch, this is like,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you, like, if you love ballet,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: but you can't do a turn on point, then you're
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: not a ballerina. And is it just that, like, you can't,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just harder to, like, have that boundary, but
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: you're not a B-girl. Okay. At one point, her parents
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: are like, yeah, we kept our distance. And I was like, yeah,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you fucking did. I'm sure you've been keeping
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: your distance. That's your way. That's how you parent people.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Not from each other, just from your children. Then she gets,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: this is Rachel, gets an email from Richard Branson, who
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: this is like her like comeback where she tries to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: get us to be like, look, people like me and
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: so you should like me. Richard Branson, who's like this
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: very famous rich English guy, was like, I was moved
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: by your performance. It was so original. And so when
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: people were mad at you, I wanted you to come
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: directly to my party palace in some island where I
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: could just like bow down to you. He bowed down
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: to me, me, Rachel. Are you guys friends now? You
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: guys always hang out? You guys spend Christmas together now? So,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: you know, she reemerges on the scene after going through
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: her period of exile. And then this is probably the
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: worst part of the documentary for me, okay? Because I
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: love this girl named Tawny Locks, right? She looks like
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: the Odessa girl, right? So Tawny Locks sees her and
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: she goes right up to her and she's like, look,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I was offended by your routine, but mostly the sprinkler part.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Because I know you said like all the other parts
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: were Australian or whatever, but the sprinkler, bitch, the sprinkler.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: And Rachel's like, oh, the sprinkler is quintessentially Australian. And
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Sammy's like, she got the world talking. And then they
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: play See is Unstoppable. I'm unstoppable. You're like, oh, my God.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: How dare you? How dare you? It's like a media
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: montage of people coming around and being like positive about like,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: you know what? We were too mean to that Rachel.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: She's not such a bad dancer. And then Teenie Locks
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: is like, yeah, so I go home because I'm like
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: quintessential sprinklers. And the bitch was right. For some reason,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: the sprinkler dance move was invented like in Australian discos
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: in the 1970s. And the doc ends with, Rachel being like,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: so I left academia. Now what? Fame. Obviously. It's funny
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: because they just announced the new season of Dancing with
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: the Stars. And like Jenna Dewan Tatum is on it,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: which is like big news. A, because she's literally a dancer,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: like literally a dancer. I mean, literally a dancer. She
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: was in Step Up. And, you know, it's, A lot
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: of pop culture knowledge people would know that like Justin
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: hooked up with her. Anyway, God bless. All that to say,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: it does feel like Rachel timed this documentary hoping that
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: people from Dancing with the Stars would get a buzz
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: that it was going to come out and hopefully be
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: like a contestant on it. Because to really be like,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: I left academia so I made sure my schedule's free
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: for whatever's going to come my way, world. Dancing with
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: the Stars. Dancing with the Stars. But she doesn't have
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: at all an engaging personality. She's not funny. Her husband's weird.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: She's not talented. You know what I'm saying? She's not
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: going to be someone that I think people are going
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: to want to keep up with. But I watched this
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: documentary and talked about it for an hour and seven minutes.
• 1:07:43
