• 4:04
  he's out there in the building. What's going on? So I have something
• 4:09
  to show that is not standard. But I was inspired by our social media
• 4:15
  guru, the man who puts the clips up that make sure that all the
• 4:18
  bits and all the videos and all of the reels and everything is done for
• 4:23
  blurrd's eye view. I got me a seriously professional gimbal. I was gonna
• 4:29
  say, the gimbals was in the house. How much? Man? This
• 4:31
  is twenty five? Not bad, not bad, twenty five with the magnetic
• 4:38
  light and everything. And yeah, I never buy off of TikTok y'all,
• 4:44
  so just just know that I'm not gonna lie. I have and I haven't
• 4:48
  been disappointed. Same. This is my first one and so far, that's
• 4:55
  all I gotta say is so it's I what's a disapointed And I'm glad it
• 5:01
  came through I coming back after her hiatus of moving cross country a very shoos
• 5:10
  in the house was a long week's welcome than you are you caught up on
• 5:24
  sleep? Oh yeah, actually, you know my schedule is my sleep schedule
• 5:30
  didn't have to change at all. I will say that, like it really
• 5:33
  did. Not, Like I was getting up at six thirty on Pacific time
• 5:39
  and here I've been still be getting up at six thirty on Easter Time with
• 5:43
  no issues. So it's been it's been pretty chill, Like I love it.
• 5:47
  I'm glad that for some reason, I don't know why I just started
• 5:51
  getting up at six thirty like about it's probably been closer than two months,
• 5:57
  if not actually two months now, and I'm just like, this is unlike
• 6:00
  me, because what the heck? But you know it's been good because you
• 6:08
  know, I definitely I get up at that time so that I could go
• 6:12
  for a walk before I get dressed to go to work. So that's it.
• 6:16
  The fact that you and hell Spawn and Black Spartan, I I'm trying
• 6:25
  to find the time. I can't do it in the morning because I you
• 6:29
  know, between the shows and then running being in over at Blurred Station.
• 6:31
  Sign up for Blairred Station. You'll be missing out if you don't big news
• 6:35
  coming soon also, but between that and then working the job that I tend
• 6:43
  to work between eight to ten hours. It all depends on the day.
• 6:46
  I'm like, I'm only making it to the gym like Saturday. Yeah,
• 6:50
  because in between the days running the show twice a week, I'm producing the
• 6:56
  stuff for the show more like throughout the week. I'm like, Yo,
• 7:00
  So if I hear Spartan coming here, yeah, you couldn't. I couldn't
• 7:03
  get up to five hundred. Dude, dude, I'm crying. Not all
• 7:08
  that was fuddy. I was reading that. I was like, but yeah,
• 7:15
  I don't know. I think you just I think, yeah, like
• 7:17
  when you have a pack schedule, like because when I was in California,
• 7:21
  like I walked. I walked twice a day for forty five minutes if and
• 7:28
  maybe sometimes worked out, so maybe three times uh in a day. But
• 7:34
  that's because I did have time. Because even being here, I'm like,
• 7:39
  my second walk, I haven't done it since being here that I have not
• 7:44
  done, I haven't done with. Yeah. So so for those out there,
• 7:48
  show Yo has moved from the West coast yeah to the east. Basically
• 7:54
  to the East coast. Yeah, she was given. She was giving us
• 7:57
  the play by play on everything, and you know, making sure you know,
• 8:01
  because she drove. I did, indeed hours a day. You know,
• 8:07
  it was it was cool. You know, it really wasn't bad.
• 8:11
  And I and yeah, it really wasn't bad. The the hard part is
• 8:16
  not the driving. The hard part is like, oh, the sleeping,
• 8:20
  because I didn't. I slept in a hotel one day. The first day
• 8:26
  I couldn't get any sleep. Second day I slept in the hotel and the
• 8:31
  third day I couldn't even go to sleep. I was like, I'm in
• 8:33
  Virginia. I went to sleep at like two am and woke up and was
• 8:37
  like, you know what, I'm just finishing this off. Like so I
• 8:41
  just went but yeah, well, welcome to our side of the country.
• 8:46
  I love it, praying for it. She should be it. She better
• 8:50
  be a blurr car. That's all I gotta say. What's crazy, you
• 8:54
  know, madam? I need I need to talk to Chris. But definitely,
• 8:58
  you know, it's a possible for Saturday. It's possibly. I can't

  The majority of the crew stays in the d m V area, but the

  Yeah, okay, that you have a stalker was in Norfolk. It's
• 12:07

• 12:11
  let me see, Mayhem is in Baltimore. Mm hmmm mm hmm. And
• 12:18
  we have legacy members along with Crazy Car. Crazy Car stays out in l
• 12:22

• 12:41

• 12:48
  out on your bs. That's for sure. That is for sure. She's
• 12:52
  tiny too, She's tiny, she's tiny power. Uh So, let's talk
• 12:58
  about your book of Blood and Lightning. Yes, what's blood and lightening?
• 13:03
  Let's talk about it. This is my girl. If you look closely,
• 13:07
  we actually want to look alike. Yes, Aphelia Johnson is a seventeen year
• 13:13
  old black girl who moves into the sleepy town of New River, North Dakota,
• 13:18
  shortly after her father's untimely death, and a place where all she wants
• 13:24
  is peace and quiet and for everything to be as normal as possible. Of
• 13:28
  course, nothing is normal at all. She virtually inherits the power of the
• 13:35
  old gods overnight, as well as a quest to save the fabric of reality.
• 13:41
  You said, Zeus, Yes, yes, Zeus, these are the
• 13:46
  gods of old mythology. Choosing in a modern urban fantasy, black girl led.
• 13:54
  She is undeniably the champion and the hero of this story. I already
• 14:01
  yeah anytime. This is what I love about my job. Anytime I have
• 14:09
  a blurred person, especially female, who has an amazing project, you really
• 14:20
  don't have to sell me on it. This is why I built the platform.
• 14:24
  You never have to sell me on it. I see it and I'm
• 14:26
  like, we need more like that. So what made you pick the Greek
• 14:33
  gods? Well, the story is actually quite interesting. I was doing laundry
• 14:39
  one day, just a regular any other day, and I thought about,
• 14:46
  you know, what it would look like if we're actually teenagers? Because if
• 14:50
  you look back at all these classic myths. They're these beings of incredible power
• 14:56
  and they are revered and honored, but their actions in their stories are very
• 15:01
  human. They are very imperfect, often very immature. Because of all of
• 15:07
  this power, the consequences are typically colossual. So it was just a very
• 15:13
  interesting concept to me from the beginning, and I wanted to explore that here
• 15:18
  in this story. I like that. I like that. So I had
• 15:24
  a couple of questions that came in through it. What got you into Greek
• 15:28
  mythology? As if? I had to ask, because it's kind of interesting,
• 15:33
  to be honest with you very much. I'm sure millions of people also
• 15:39
  have this experience, but for me, it all started when I picked up
• 15:43
  my first Percy Jackson novels there, so I was like, Percy, yep
• 15:50
  person. I can remember reading all of the books, so it's always really
• 15:58
  Greek mythology's always captivated. Mm hmm. I would have to say, uh,
• 16:03
  I've always been interested in Greek mythology, but the Odyssey is what sold
• 16:08
  me beautiful story. Yeah, just just I'm just like, yo, these
• 16:15
  fellas ain't never getting home. It's like it's been some years. I'm like,
• 16:22
  yeah, your house is rand. Just wander around. Don't worry.
• 16:26
  You'll get snacks later. Just keep wandering, don't worry about life. You'll
• 16:32
  get some cheeses when they're invented. Just keep walking. You left home a
• 16:37
  little too long. These casting lost their mind. So it says here you
• 16:44
  dedicate your book too far for far for hard headed, disobedient, angry black
• 16:48
  girls everywhere. How does how does this book address their needs and their social
• 16:52
  concerns? I like the questions when it comes to stereotypes in your for black
• 17:00
  people, we can often find ourselves in the position of constantly trying to prove
• 17:07
  everyone else wrong. Every action is centered around these perceptions that other people make
• 17:12
  of us. But I really like when Tony Morrison says that there will always
• 17:18
  be another thing. You will constantly be proving things to people who have no
• 17:23
  intentions of accepting you in the first place. So in this book, I
• 17:29
  really did not want to shy away from angry Black girls. I think Ophelia
• 17:36
  has lots of conflicting feelings and she deals with a lot of heavy emotions throughout
• 17:41
  this story, and I don't think I would be doing her justice if I
• 17:47
  approach this story from the standpoint of trying to prove anyone wrong. She has
• 17:53
  every right to be angry, and you know she does not make the right
• 17:59
  decision at all all the time, of course. But I am forever Ophelia,
• 18:08
  and this story it's not just the love letter to her rage, but
• 18:12
  it's a love letter to the rage of black girls everywhere. And we're not
• 18:18
  apologizing for that or shying away from it. You know what, I need
• 18:22
  to give you this right now. I have to give you before we even
• 18:26
  go on with his interview. I have to give you this right now because
• 18:30
  that's and and and the top it off right so showy. You do you
• 18:49
  have any questions? Most definitely always got questions. You know what, You're
• 18:59
  not lying even if I don't say it now, I might always have questions.
• 19:07
  I think my question is kind of stemming from the Greek mythology standpoint,
• 19:11
  So in the book, like you said, because I don't know too much,
• 19:17
  but her having a connection to Zeus, are there other portions of mythology
• 19:22
  throughout the book, like do they attached to other people as well? Like
• 19:27
  they're different gods, goddesses, et cetera. And how is the Greek mythology
• 19:36
  like in itself, like even outside of just the gods, but like the
• 19:41
  cultural aspect of it. How how might that be like embedded in the story.
• 19:48
  That's a great question. So the main cast, first, they are
• 19:56
  the chosen vessels for the powers of six Greek god There's Zeus deciding, Hades,
• 20:03
  Artemis, Apollo, Arias, and one other. But I cannot reveal
• 20:08
  their identity. Okay, I'm guessing. I guess is in my head because
• 20:15
  I love Greek with guesses. Well, the seventh is Athena, but that
• 20:22
  gets a little icy down the line with Athena, what you were thinking,
• 20:26
  Yes, I just like the alliteration was killing me. Here is like a
• 20:30
  a come on, we're missing a thing here, And you said, yes,
• 20:34
  I was right. You know, that's not that intentional either. I
• 20:37
  finished writing the book and I was like, oh, all adies, that's
• 20:41
  interesting. But as far as Greek culture goes otherwise, I am a monster
• 20:51
  fan, and I feel like classic mythology is some of the most compelled monsters
• 20:57
  just out of all mythology period, and I really have fun reimagining them for
• 21:06
  this story specifically. So we'll see definitely some older, lesser known gods that
• 21:11
  appear in Greek mythology. We're also going to see some fun ones like the
• 21:18
  Shinks and the Great Sisters, the Three Fates, some pretty big figures,
• 21:25
  and yeah, it was really fun just playing with them and moving them around
• 21:30
  and seeing how I can incorporate them into the story. I was going to
• 21:34
  ask, I was going to ask, can do you see this as a
• 21:40
  series? Because if you if you're saying you can't reveal certain stuff like do
• 21:44
  you see this as a series? And how far? Absolutely so? Of
• 21:51
  what? Nightning is the first installation in the God Endorsaga. It is an
• 21:56
  epic fantasy series about the Holy Seven, these newly incarnated gods in a modern
• 22:03
  age, and the Holy War they wage against an adver theory that I also
• 22:11
  cannot mention. But they are downright diabolical and absolutely the worst people you'll meet.
• 22:19
  So make sure you check it out because they're the worst, but they're
• 22:23
  also my favorite. I have one more question. You can go to Barns
• 22:29
  and Noble shout out to Carl Joes. Uh, go ahead, my I'm
• 22:40
  wondering, so did you have any what is the word inspiration like for writing
• 22:51
  this book besides like like outside of your love for mythology, Like, what
• 22:55
  was your inspiration for writing it? Was there any other books or authors or
• 23:03
  you know, stories that made you want to that kind of inspired your writing
• 23:07
  for this one. Okay, hould on making your sounds kind of glitchen yah,
• 23:37
  something like something's interrupting and I don't know what it is. It's kind
• 23:40
  of yeah, it's like a drum solo, but there's no drums. Uh
• 23:51
  h. It just all started. Did you want to? Yeah, it's
• 23:55
  just just started. Right when you're getting answered answered the question right when you
• 24:00
  about to give us some knowledge? When when the when the knowledge is getting
• 24:03
  deep and we're about to beat me more educated, alogy goes nah, nah,
• 24:08
  you'll get no more. This is the work. This is the work
• 24:14
  of Hella. She doesn't like it would be her. There you go there,
• 24:23
  I'm good now. Yeah. But so my absolute favorite book in the
• 24:30
  world. I think everyone should read Legend Born. Oh I love this for
• 24:37
  you will continue. I'm actually so glad. It was one of my comp
• 24:45
  titles when I was writing this book. Glad that you like felt that,
• 24:48
  Oh my gosh, Legend Born obviously and what is it? Good? Started
• 25:07
  again? Come and started again? Tell you have you been having issues with
• 25:15
  your internet internet connection lately. Now I can't hear her. Yeah, thank
• 25:26
  you. Is a hater with the I'm crying. You gotta got us on
• 25:30
  the screen, and he's going nah nah pretty much. Yeah, because she's
• 25:34
  frozen. Hello, I say he's still freezing. Mm hmmm, damn it
• 25:48
  was getting good. Seriously, you can't hear us either, Okay, yeah,
• 25:53
  so this is what you do, Mickey, go out, log out,
• 25:56
  log back in, and I'll bring you back. We got to type
• 26:02
  it. Yeah, there's a Chad somewhere that just doesn't want this, this
• 26:08
  magnificent queen who has written the novel that is phenomenal to put the knowledge out
• 26:14
  of. You don't want to give us black leading ladies. We can't have
• 26:17
  black leading authors. Ain't that about a bitch. I'll do you one better.
• 26:25
  You got that? What happened? She said? She think it's the
• 26:30
  airpots. I took them out and everything returned back to normal. Okay,
• 26:37
  is it an Apple product that you were using? Is it not an Apple
• 26:40
  product? I know? No, no, no, no, it's no
• 26:48
  baby. It's not your fault. And you have to deal with technology.
• 26:52
  Look, I don't know why they put so much investment into AI, but
• 26:57
  they can't even get certain typical things right. So I'm not even worried for
• 27:03
  that far any terminators or anything showing up. But continue with your answer.
• 27:12
  I think what was when you were talking. You were talking about Legend Born
• 27:17
  and the inspiration. The question was what was your inspiration for writing this book?
• 27:22
  M Oh, yes, yes, and it was Legend Born Tracy Dion
• 27:26
  best book in the world. Everyone should buy it. And about that.
• 27:32
  I have this theory. I may not be right. I could totally be
• 27:36
  wrong, and I'm open to being wrong, but I think that three Matthews
• 27:40
  and Ophelia Johnson, my best friend duo made in Heaven. That is just
• 27:45
  my suspicion. I would let the people decide. And of course Floor by
• 27:49
  Alexandra Bracken, great books, both of them. Hell was it? I
• 27:55
  love to hear you say that, because, honestly, when I thought of
• 27:57
  when you were talking, it's see, when you were talking about like Zeus
• 28:03
  and the Greek gods like kind of like being like a foundation, it made
• 28:07
  me think of Legend Born immediately because even though Legend Born is Arthurian mythology,
• 28:15
  I immediately was just like, yeah, you know, your main character and
• 28:18
  breathe, especially when you said for all the black girls that you know,
• 28:22
  just like all the angry black girls, all all the black girls that have
• 28:26
  rage and you know have valid rage, and to that too, like it's
• 28:32
  like, man, like I could, I could just see Legend Born,
• 28:36
  and I love Legend Born. I have the second book and I haven't ready
• 28:40
  yet, so I've been holding out just for no reason. But I love
• 28:45
  that absolutely absolutely, ma'am. Question, Yeah, what, No, that
• 28:56
  wasn't it? Sorry, long day? The writing process, so like,
• 29:04
  what is it from typing the first words until done and then what is that
• 29:11
  feeling like getting the finished product in your hand? They're really, at least
• 29:17
  for me, is truly nothing like it. I think a first draft,
• 29:22
  if writing a book is like making a piece of pottery, that first draft
• 29:27
  is creating the clay. And I do a lot of outlining and a lot
• 29:34
  of like plotting, because I will absolutely get lost and then stop after chapter
• 29:41
  two, but so have I have to have a lot of scaffolding. But
• 29:47
  when you go from this is the idea, these are the characters, this
• 29:52
  is where I want to go to the very very end of the process.
• 29:57
  When you've done your last droft of revisions. It is a very accomplished feeling,
• 30:06
  because writing a book is hard, and if I did not love writing,
• 30:11
  if I were, it's definitely labor of love and passion. But it's
• 30:15
  a beautiful feeling. But it never gets old. Would you would you say
• 30:21
  that is due to the just being having something accomplished and finished piece of work,
• 30:26
  getting what you what's in your heart and in your mind out on page
• 30:30
  or whatever the project. Those that are out there and having it just completed
• 30:37
  would say that process. I think it's definitely a fusion of all of those.
• 30:44
  There's nothing like, you know, that sense of having finished something you
• 30:48
  started. That's always But when you have a story that lives in your head
• 30:55
  and it's only in your head and it's not like you know, a film
• 31:00
  more book, you can't just go from the beginning to the end. You're
• 31:04
  always jumping around from different scenes, different moments, and when you find them
• 31:10
  on paper and you finally come together, that too, coupled with that sense
• 31:15
  of accomplishment, it's great. Spartan took my question. I was like,
• 31:22
  dang, I was like, that's all. I was like, oh,
• 31:27
  ship, she's got my questions and I have because I just it was something
• 31:33
  in my spirits that had me thinking Born was somewhere loved by Mickey because I
• 31:45
  was just like like, oh my goodness, yeah, I can't wait to
• 31:48
  read it. That's okay, Let the Lord use you. That's what I
• 31:55
  tell you. These last few shows, I'm gonna have to mess around to
• 31:56
  give me a church or put up in here because I would say this,
• 32:06
  and if because again I'm coming on the late side, so I apologize.
• 32:12
  What is a story? I guess from a writer's standpoint, because I always
• 32:17
  love asking writers this, What is an area or a genre that you know
• 32:25
  you have on the back burner that you would love to go into, but
• 32:30
  maybe it's not the right timing, you don't have the maybe don't have all
• 32:34
  the right elements to make it cook. Stuff like that. Is there something
• 32:37
  that that you know is a is a pet project that you would love to
• 32:42
  do or love to dive into, yet that it's kind of in that in
• 32:44
  that space there are actually so many And it's why I deal with what I
• 32:49
  deal with because it's there's not enough time ever. But if they would just
• 32:57
  open the door a little bit for dystopian fit, I absolutely have things to
• 33:02
  say and you know, everybody loves the Hunger Games. But I feel like,
• 33:09
  and this might be a bit controversial, but I think what that genre
• 33:14
  really needs is black voices, the voices of oppressed people. I love.
• 33:22
  Let me, let me step you real quick, and I'm gonna let you
• 33:23
  continue, because that's what we do here, That's what I really I can
• 33:30
  already tell from the intro to everything given up to now, it's a beautiful
• 33:35
  space that you all have created. And just thank you for letting me be
• 33:37
  a part of it, thank you for coming on board. Yeah, I'll
• 33:43
  take those flowers egregiously. But I do have I have a question that deals
• 33:52
  with because you're dealing with Greek mythology, and it sounds like, like I
• 33:54
  said earlier, it sounds like you have several series in mind. Would you
• 33:59
  be open to exploring other cultures like they're versions of the gods and everything else,
• 34:07
  how they interact and because with mythology it is a very I say,
• 34:21
  it's a tideline when it comes to taking material and repurposing it to tell a
• 34:28
  new story. There are, obviously, or at least I feel, cultures
• 34:32
  where the people of that culture should tell their own stories. So I think
• 34:39
  I think a lot of indigenous cultures have some really really cool aspects to their
• 34:45
  belief systems and just all of these traditions that they've built. But in that
• 34:53
  context, it wouldn't feel right for me to be the one to tell that
• 34:58
  story. But I absolutely have something for the world with the Egyptian gods.
• 35:07
  And also no schoology is very cool to me, and I there are things
• 35:15
  cooking in my little brain. I love that because like when I like I,
• 35:23
  and I absolutely I want to say, I respect your respect for other
• 35:28
  people's coaches to not want to insert yourself in something that you you know that
• 35:32
  you possibly don't have a connection to you. So I respect that. But
• 35:37
  and I also think, because I'm thinking about as you were saying it,
• 35:40
  you know, like the King Chronicles by Ricker, like you said you love
• 35:44
  Chercy Jackson, he has I think two other I think it's King Chronicles and
• 35:52
  Nevados maybe, but I didn't read Novados, but King Chronicles I did read,
• 35:59
  and that's Gyptian mythology. And you know, it's like he has so
• 36:01
  many different series, not just Greek mythology. And so it's like just to
• 36:07
  say that it is a possibility for you if that is what you want to
• 36:10
  where you want to take it, Like it's absolutely a possibility to get out
• 36:15
  of Greek mythology, like there's no there's no limit there. But I absolutely
• 36:21
  respect respect that as well. Thank you. I love this job. I
• 36:30
  swear to God because it's projects like yours that we just we're on the we're
• 36:37
  on the precipice of discovering so much. And I think, in my honest
• 36:45
  opinion, I think what really started kicking the door open was TV shows like
• 36:50
  Lovecraft, Country and Watchmen, you know, where they were just like,
• 36:53
  yo, this is cool. Why don't we see more of this, Like
• 36:58
  it's cool that we see the white our parts, but maybe just maybe seeing
• 37:04
  ourselves up there on the screen and telling stories that are buried hidden, aren't
• 37:09
  talked about as much or lied about. You know, the narrative was changed
• 37:15
  for for for for consumption, you know, for easy consumple and breaking a
• 37:21
  little bit of history spread, you know. So you know, when we
• 37:23
  have when we have projects like ourselves, when we have the app that we're
• 37:29
  part of, when we have like Blurred Station that talks about uh dystopian future
• 37:35
  and speculative fiction and anime and manga, and it's all told through the eyes
• 37:38
  of our people, you know, and telling fresh, new original stories.
• 37:45
  When you have indie comics like Concrete Midnight Comics, uh, and and tons
• 37:52
  of others, you know, Wingless Comics and everybody that's out there, we
• 37:55
  want more. We grasp that more because it's like, it's great that you
• 38:00
  tell these stories about Superman or about Captain America, or about Iron Man or
• 38:02
  Spider Man or even Spawn for that matter, but we want more, like
• 38:12
  and a lot of times, a lot of times ours gets better. And
• 38:19
  that's the real thing about it. I think it is because of this century
• 38:23
  long phenomenon of black people having to work twice as hard to get even a
• 38:30
  portion of what their white counterparts get. You spend your life working that hard
• 38:37
  to claw your way out of a pit, you're obviously going to have a
• 38:40
  different set of skills and resources and people who didn't have that experience, and
• 38:45
  it shows all across the board. Mm hmm. I gotta feel like,
• 38:52
  show you want to answer, I'm just sitting back away for next question.
• 38:57
  She weak, wait my turn, everybody ask his turn? How would you
• 39:07
  see? You said, show yo? And then when will you don't have
• 39:15
  my question with I'm just sitting going Okay, I'm gonna wait my turn.
• 39:19
  I wait for the metam use of the kick, and that's what it is.
• 39:22
  Go ahead, first all, Mickey, I've had a chance to read
• 39:27
  a little bit of the history of what you're creating, and I love it.
• 39:30
  I genuinely do. As that kid who would sit at home and read
• 39:36
  these books in his room. If we had something like this growing up,
• 39:38
  I think that would just that would change the direction a lot of creative minds
• 39:43
  would go. So I appreciate this. So I had one of the biggest
• 39:46
  questions that I had is why North Dakota. Why Honestly, it's cold and
• 39:53
  it seems like a place where nothing really happens. And y'all hear that,
• 39:59
  folks a vacation in North Dakota, because it's been a confirmed nothing happens.
• 40:06
  I love everybody from North Dakota. I am North Dakota's biggest fan. I
• 40:13
  needed a place that was generally known for being quiet because I wanted Ophelia and
• 40:19
  this strange thing that's happening to her. I wanted that to be the main
• 40:24
  event. What made this place so exciting. Okay, now, oh,
• 40:30
  I'm not even gonna lie to You have a friend that just moved to North
• 40:34
  Dakota and he's like, bro, this pollen is insane goodness, So I'm
• 40:43
  sorry. My second question, as the Gang's Master of the Crew and I'm
• 40:49
  envisioning this, can you see your series turned into a tabletop RPG? That's
• 40:55
  interesting, you know. I never that is a really interesting question because initially
• 41:07
  I envisioned of Blood and Lightning as an anime h because there's a lot of
• 41:15
  a lot of fight scenes, lots of devastating power and speed and things like
• 41:19
  that, and I just don't trust live action to get it right. It's
• 41:29
  never good anytime. But I think that the material would actually provide some really
• 41:35
  compelling gameplay as well. I think it'd be fun, and I think it
• 41:39
  would be interesting to put yourself, you know, a these characters and use
• 41:45
  their powers and that that's a great question. Thank you. Well. I
• 41:50
  played D and D, so I always like different ideas instead of the standard
• 41:53
  creative character powers and all this other stuff. So why not something like this
• 41:59
  where they are basically avatars, so you get to choose which one of the
• 42:02
  pantheon that you could be a vessel for mm hmmm. I'm getting excited just
• 42:07
  thinking about it. Okay, let me see trademarking in somebody's future. Lady
• 42:15
  mand lord, do you have a question. Please mute yourself let us hear
• 42:28
  your melodious tones. You have been missed. Hell no, I aed somebody
• 42:40
  else ask this. Have you ever thought about creating your own gods for your
• 42:45
  own stories? Oh? Good question? Mm hmm, this is a great
• 42:51
  question. Yes I have. And in the God Understaga as a whole,
• 42:58
  there are some other terrible guys is down the line that everyone's going to get
• 43:01
  a chance to meet, and they are completely made up. I read this
• 43:07
  book. They won't mention the big scary guy. I can't say his name,
• 43:14
  so I'm sorry. That's the only way I can cover to him.
• 43:27
  His name's Kreos, and that is all completely made up, from the name
• 43:31
  to his backstory. I actually had to take a lot of liberty with the
• 43:37
  antagonists because past the Titans in Greek mythology, the villains that I pulled from,
• 43:50
  they're not really regarded as actual beings or figures. They're just like very
• 43:54
  abstract representations for things like the sky or ether or things like that. So
• 44:02
  I did some refashioning and gave them he who shall not be named like the
• 44:14
  Boogeyman? What is that? N d at the Boogeyman? Nd yet,
• 44:20
  nigga, don't ask straight up. Certain names you just don't say married,
• 44:25
  right, you know a Certain names you just don't repeat in the mirror.
• 44:29
  Certain names you don't say more than three times and just hiss. How about
• 44:34
  that we said I was talking to the other day. It was fantastic.
• 44:38
  Some things you're talking partial tongue. I'm just saying, you know, there's
• 44:42
  certain things I'm not coming for you, lady man the Lord. Even though
• 44:47
  we're different houses, everybody slivering speaks personal and that's just that's not exclusive to
• 44:55
  us. I'm just sureque should be required news to me just because we speak
• 45:07
  a different language. We're just like y'all, Mandel. You know, I
• 45:12
  got so bad here we were here. Look, I'm saying, you know,
• 45:22
  I am I am House gryffind or however this entire crew house. I'm
• 45:27
  just saying, Okay, that's what it matters right now. Focus on that.
• 45:32
  We could be friends now, So mayhem, what you got? I
• 45:42
  wanted to know about publishing because Barnes and Noble's stick deal. So like we
• 45:52
  recently had Ladarium Williams on and he was telling us about his experience and people
• 45:59
  just like not being interested in his script. So it had to go from
• 46:01
  a script to a novel, which is now like doing Gangbusters, but like
• 46:07
  William, I'm so sorry, I don't know what's happening. Every just rose
• 46:13
  in the room. You used the multi syllable words, going on, trying
• 46:19
  what was your experience like once you were done, like trying to get this
• 46:22
  in people's hands, to like get it out to us the adoring public.
• 46:30
  It was very interesting because I wrote this book. It was not the first
• 46:37
  book that I ever wrote. There's a story that exists deep in my laptop
• 46:42
  that no one will ever see, but not my mama loved it. I
• 46:53
  want to see it. But that is that was the first I ever wrote.
• 47:00
  I started it when I was fourteen, finished it at sixteen, and
• 47:05
  I got my literary agent. I really went back and forth a lot with
• 47:09
  whether I wanted to self publish or traditionally published, but I eventually decided that
• 47:15
  I was going to go to the traditional route and I got an agent.
• 47:19
  In that first book, it went out on sub several times. Nobody wanted
• 47:24
  it. They all said no, and I to the jar, or rather
• 47:34
  I was literally this. I really can't say that writing this book was something
• 47:39
  that I was actively and I wasn't actively going for a story like this,
• 47:45
  but I was doing laundry and it fell out of the sky one day and
• 47:49
  it turned into something that I am incredibly passionate about and the story that I
• 47:54
  really truly love. So go ahead. Sorry this question, yeah, sporking
• 48:06
  costume? Uh? It says, are any of the gods you create a
• 48:08
  big bald? In black? In black? Yes? Well mm hmm.
• 48:17
  Write that down, went down, Write that down, not write that down.
• 48:27
  I can't say any of them are bald. Unfortunately, I will try
• 48:30
  to do better with that moving forward. And I really do not not the
• 48:36
  ball man looking for representations. We're not represented, but polic challenged. How
• 48:42
  do you ourselves justice to all wells? Listen, it's nothing personal. I
• 48:53
  love everybody. I love that you. The head bands will continue, That's
• 49:01
  all I have to say. The head bands will continue, the snap backs,
• 49:07
  the snap no skin will show. That's all I got to say.
• 49:15
  Spartan, you got another question? No ill her was headbands and ball representation.
• 49:21
  I was like, oh, that ain't me. Hey man, Okay,
• 49:30
  I just got I got great. I just got gray hairs. That's
• 49:31
  all I got. But no, h I was I'm waiting on looking at
• 49:36
  to show you, like I know Sho has got one the chamber already.
• 49:37
  But I'm sorry, I'm just messing with you. But I guess I guess
• 49:43
  as far as because yeah, we because Kieren got my mother question to god
• 49:46
  dag y'all, y'all beating me the questions this time. I'm about to pass
• 49:51
  that out to somebody else if anybody else got a question, because my two
• 49:53
  questions have been shot the window. Actually, I have another question. What
• 50:01
  I like about what you've done. It reminds me because I come from the
• 50:06
  era of Saturday Morning cartoons, so of course I think of Shazam, you
• 50:09
  know, and that whole intro, Solomon, Hercules, at Las, whole
• 50:13
  thing. So I was curious, why did you choose the Greek gods versus
• 50:20
  all the other godhood pantheons across the world. Why the Greeks, Why the
• 50:24
  Greek gods? You know. I've just I've always been fascinated by the Greeks
• 50:32
  in the cultural sense, as the group of people who created that defining era,
• 50:39
  the classic era. And I just always thought that Greek mythology was really
• 50:45
  cool. And when writing Hawaii Fantasy, like I said, I'm an anime
• 50:52
  fan, so I was immediately thinking about power scaling. I knew that I
• 50:57
  wanted to write a story with people who could I don't like, punch a
• 51:00
  building, leave a crater the size of Mississippi. That the size of Mississippi.
• 51:08
  The Greek a great choice in terms of, you know, having these
• 51:14
  incredible powers and devastating strength. Uh, And I knew that it would be
• 51:20
  great to write a story with them. I love it. You mentioned anime?
• 51:24
  What what? What animes are you watching right now? And what got
• 51:27
  you there? Oh? Here we go. This has a very short use.
• 51:34
  You already don't She's wrong, that's all I'm asking what that's lady lady
• 51:42
  man, that's lady man, the lord. I don't know. I'm not
• 51:45
  judging. For one. A cult is in her blood. I sam with
• 51:54
  you. I appreciate you, so I'm happy. Okay, what's you?
• 52:05
  What do you watch? And have to say that my favorite of all time?
• 52:08
  And I don't know if this is a crea cliche answer or not,
• 52:13
  but attack on Titan. I feel like I love you. That's you.
• 52:20
  You. You can't say one of the best stories, I mean storytelling is
• 52:28
  I can give you that one. It's great. But I think I'm I'm
• 52:37
  watching now, I Q, don't shoot me please. Yeah. I like
• 52:50
  to tell you, Mickey, you're my favorite person. You already know right
• 52:54
  now because if you see my name, it's show yo because of yeah yeah
• 53:00
  and the old him. Oh my goodness, Yes, I love this for
• 53:06
  you. I'm so happy Q as well. Let's go the way. I
• 53:15
  have to get new drops for this for this shift now because Jesus Christ,
• 53:20
  I need to get a church organ. Then I need to get the ding
• 53:22
  sound from family. I love this for you, which is because see,
• 53:32
  it could have been it could have been it could have been this one.
• 53:37
  Yeah, I don't have. I don't know why I don't have the other
• 53:42
  one. Wow. So did you go see the movie? No, I
• 53:47
  haven't. I started watching it literally a week ago, and I'm on season
• 53:53
  three now. Because okay, good you're you're working through it the shortest season.
• 54:04
  I can never have any kind of like show that I just am committed
• 54:07
  to for a long time because I get obsessed and then I stay up till
• 54:10
  two am every night watching it. I completely understand, I understand. I
• 54:21
  want to shout out Nico Marina, who is yes, who's a big fan
• 54:27
  of One Piece. However, my second in command is not a fan.
• 54:32
  Fine, but but she did a stand up recently and she broke down One
• 54:37
  Piece and I said, see, but then she followed it up, yes,
• 54:40
  it's a cult, and I'm like, so we both went in this
• 54:43
  situation. As long as she knows. As long as she knows, it's
• 54:47
  all. So I just figured. I'm like, oh wait, wait,
• 54:52
  she broke down the timing and she was like, yeah, that's about right
• 54:55
  that twenty minutes, so okay, yeah, exactly. And then she followed
• 55:01
  it with yes, One Piece is a cult, lord, and I'm like,
• 55:08
  damn, Lady Mandelord, you had to be right on this one too.
• 55:14
  But then so we're both happy. If you get possessed by the Gear
• 55:22
  five, then you know you can't go wrong. Oh hell, joy boy
• 55:30
  not drinking? Who laid extra concentrated extra We almost made it. So other
• 55:42
  than Greek mythology, what other books where you're like your inspiration for the Blood
• 55:46
  and Lightning? Mm hmmm. As far as books go, definitely legend Born
• 55:53
  and Lord, but I was also watching a lot of animate at the time,
• 55:59
  I think for me, especially as I'm continuing to expand the story,
• 56:04
  Jujitsu Kaison has been it's all also been amazing. That's my favorite. And
• 56:13
  Bleach as well. Just let's that's been sewing along with this story, because
• 56:23
  I don't I think it would be a disservice to Ophelia's character if I gave
• 56:28
  her a happy story. So obviously, Oh no, it's gotta be got
• 56:44
  to love. I love this. This is wonderful news. We're going to
• 56:53
  take a break, and when we come back, we're gonna talk about a
• 56:55
  little bit of news and did our main topic? Can you stick around?
• 56:59
  Absolutely? Of course? All right, her credit is gone up, she's
• 57:05
  the name she named some bangers. Okay, her credit gone So we will

• 1:01:17
  moves coming and coming through here, and we cut that one out since I
• 1:01:21
  G doesn't like to complain lies anymore. Uh Yeah, yeah, so the
• 1:01:30
  Russo Brothers. Everybody knows the Bruso Brothers, right, mm hmm. They've
• 1:01:34
  done one of my favorite Captain America movies. Uh and Adventures films as well.
• 1:01:38
  Uh In Game and Winter Soldier and Infinity War. There and their hometown
• 1:01:44
  boys here from Ohio, good old Cleveland. So they're actually now producers on
• 1:01:51
  the new Captain America film New World Order. I think that's brave New World.
• 1:01:54
  Yeah, brave New World. And they are now producers on this film.
• 1:02:00
  I like their work. And it's not just because of where they're from,
• 1:02:06
  but really, Winter Soldier, there we go. Mm hmm pause for
• 1:02:15
  here we go? Her face, it's not it's not. It's like you
• 1:02:21
  wear a mask for nothing. You see your confusion. Did they just become
• 1:02:28
  producers? Mm hmm. But isn't the movie done? Nope, the shooting
• 1:02:35
  reshoot her in progressooing the DC comics. They're reshooting it. This movie is
• 1:02:42
  about to be a hot God have been brought on that. That reaffirms my
• 1:02:51
  trust. That means I'm keeping that whole. They have to dig y'all out
• 1:02:58
  in order to fix this. They they've done tests, they've done test shootings
• 1:03:02
  and you know, with certain audiences and certain stuff didn't go well. So
• 1:03:07
  they say, Okay, we're gonna eliminate this and we're gonna do this and
• 1:03:09
  reshoot. Now mind you. We even I even spoke on it last week
• 1:03:14
  that reshoots are not out of the ordinary for films. They all do it.
• 1:03:19
  They all do it. So it's just we're more privy to the information
• 1:03:24
  than we were before. He will you got a question, wait, stop
• 1:03:30
  fucking on me. The only one, the one. I just I'm just
• 1:03:37
  praying that they have actual, like legitimate, full scale input that's going to
• 1:03:46
  change the quality of the film, and not like so that they can say
• 1:03:52
  from the people that brought you in game, so people like out like,
• 1:03:55
  oh anything, this will be good name only just I mean, yeah,
• 1:04:00
  I means being brought on. It's not like Blade y'all. You know,
• 1:04:05
  Blade off, Blade off last week. Nice segue. We'll go to that
• 1:04:10
  and say, oh my gosh, come on now you've already been twisted the
• 1:04:14
  knife in my gut. It's it's not a twist. It's not no knife
• 1:04:16
  twist here. Yeah, exactly, goodness, speaking of blade mm hmm,
• 1:04:29
  Wesley Snipes, the man who made it possible in the first place. Uh
• 1:04:33
  has they asked him? You know what's going on? In his response was
• 1:04:38
  lordy, lordy, lordy, folks still looking for the secret sauce riding snowmobiles
• 1:04:43
  and traffic kind of rough day walkers make it look easy, don't they.
• 1:04:47
  I got one question, was that Wesley Snipes as Blade or Wesley Snipes as
• 1:04:54
  his character New Jack City. Yes, I'm just saying the way that was
• 1:05:00
  the way that was said. I was like, I was expecting to cancel
• 1:05:02
  that bitch, you have to fall that go ahead, ma'am. I just
• 1:05:08
  I feel personally attacked by Wesley Snipes because I feel like the rotten snowmobiles and
• 1:05:15
  traffic is just a gross, incorrect remembrance of some motherfucker's always trying to ice
• 1:05:25
  skate up hill. Just for the record, I still yeah, he was
• 1:05:30
  trying to call back to himself and couldn't remember it and thought he was just
• 1:05:35
  going to skate that snowmobile thing passed me. But here's why couldn't he just
• 1:05:42
  say y'all thought I was gonna say that. However, I'm gonna give you
• 1:05:45
  another one. That's all I gotta say, and bring him back. There
• 1:05:55
  was a rumor. I don't know how true this is. I hope it
• 1:05:58
  to be true for a direct role, but they're saying that Chadstalynsky has a
• 1:06:04
  very good chance of stepping in the road. Now, if you don't know
• 1:06:06
  who Chad Lensky is, you do know if John Wick? Yeah, I'm
• 1:06:18
  sorry John Wick one through four. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry.
• 1:06:26
  I could see if you if give him the director's chair. Mm hmmm.
• 1:06:31
  We're having a movie on the same choreography team. Yeah, I would say
• 1:06:39
  that doctor work. It's the same fight choreography team from John Wick came over
• 1:06:43
  to the Blade movie. Thank you that right there. They need to keep
• 1:06:46
  the same elements that made John Wick amazing. Bring them over because I can
• 1:06:53
  see Blade double tapping, but I can also see him use more of the
• 1:06:57
  weapons in a way that we're used to where it doesn't it doesn't knock off
• 1:07:00
  Wesley's snices fighting style. But imagine younger Blade actually incorporating all his weapons and
• 1:07:05
  in the camera flee flooring format that they had on John Wick. I'm just
• 1:07:10
  saying, I agree, totally. I agree they gotta stop. Whatever's going
• 1:07:14
  on behind the scenes is obviously behind the scenes because they see Blade us his
• 1:07:21
  car as a fighting tool, just like John because the boy had a badass
• 1:07:26
  ride. I mean, I would like to see it just kind of knock
• 1:07:28
  somebody off the block and and and if anything, if anything, broke my
• 1:07:31
  heart watching the John Wick films is watching the doors off that ride ripped,
• 1:07:36
  and I'm like, John Damn sixty seven sixty seven boss for twenty nine,
• 1:07:43
  just ooh me and the wife both kind of I think everybody like that too.
• 1:07:51
  I'm like, I'm gonna let you cook them. I'm gonna let you
• 1:07:56
  cook that off to the shoot my wife, believe me, Why are you
• 1:07:58
  crying? And it's only ten minutes the movie that car is destroyed. So,
• 1:08:05
  Micky, what do you think of if that was the case of someone
• 1:08:12
  like of Chad's uh Stelensky's Moniker to direct this film that's that has not yet
• 1:08:18
  gotten off the ground. Hmm. I will say I'm not too familiar with
• 1:08:28
  Silensky. I think that might be a little bit too early before my time.
• 1:08:32
  But I did hear someone mention something about like a fight choreographer, the
• 1:08:38
  fight choreographer from John Wick coming over to Blade. I think that would be
• 1:08:44
  very interesting seeing him sort of incorporate more elements into the fights other than just
• 1:08:50
  you know, the tradition his traditional weapons. I actually agree with the car
• 1:08:56
  thing, honestly, just starting hit everybody, thank you. I was the
• 1:09:04
  older ones like, nah no, let's just said, damn, think like
• 1:09:06
  a big ass punch, let's go five. I think actually needs to return
• 1:09:12
  to its roots. I'm seeing I want more mindless violence. Honestly, maybe
• 1:09:16
  that's not how I should feel about it, but if the genre is good,
• 1:09:20
  no no no, no no no no, go with you feeling with
• 1:09:23
  your baby crying. Let's blow things up for no reason. That's what's my
• 1:09:34
  go to. I liked her, I knew I liked her, came across
• 1:09:43
  the road. She's one of us down in Burberhem let's go yeah, and
• 1:09:53
  she's right, I think, and this is true. You know, this
• 1:09:57
  is just me thinking because Wesley this you know, he's he's a martial artist.
• 1:10:01
  He's an actor and a martial artist. Mm hmm. It's not like
• 1:10:06
  and that's another story. But you know, m But I honestly, I
• 1:10:14
  say, look, if you can pull it off, put him back in,
• 1:10:18
  do it as a as another way or passing the But I don't know.
• 1:10:23
  You got trying to make this happen. It ain't. It ain't for
• 1:10:29
  what I'm sorry, bringing back, start bringing back with THEE says I started
• 1:10:33
  this ship and everybody just loses their ship. I'd rather see him come back
• 1:10:39
  as Whistler, honestly, a Whistler type character. That would be so dope.
• 1:10:45
  But that's the think what I don't even know if he's still attached,
• 1:10:50
  know del Roy Lindo. He they never said if he's still there or not,
• 1:10:55
  because right now, I mean, we're showing with charlot Alie still hanging
• 1:10:59
  on it right now. He might be playing Whistle by the time this movie
• 1:11:01
  is made, that's true. I'm just saying. I mean, like like
• 1:11:09
  Micky said, action is having a return to mindless violence, which is why
• 1:11:16
  this is why movies like Fast and Furious franchise. You know, despite everything
• 1:11:21
  else we joke on and everything else. However, Floading just wild car scenes
• 1:11:30
  and it still works, which is why they've gotten to the level there at
• 1:11:32
  right now. You know, shout to Jason Momola for Fast tend though you
• 1:11:36
  made Fast ten work watching. I'm not gonna lie he did. He was
• 1:11:43
  probably one of the next Probably Michael Rosenbaum is Lex Luthor. He's probably one
• 1:11:48
  of my favorite villains live action right now. I only have one request when
• 1:11:56
  you know, if and when they get the Blade project, off the groundleve
• 1:12:00
  Kevin Hart out of it. Please don't you please? Please? Why would
• 1:12:09
  that even? Don't tell because the most because we have seen movies have most
• 1:12:14
  most unexpected ship come up and it's like, I know somebody of this.
• 1:12:21
  You don't do it, David dam put in, come on, put somebody
• 1:12:27
  in that's got some child. Why can't be behind because I'm short, because
• 1:12:33
  nobody, my goodness, man wants to say. It's like not the vertically
• 1:12:44
  challenged because g BT is hearing this conversation, and right I'm saying, in
• 1:12:51
  the in the multiverse, do you not they can do this? Don't do
• 1:12:57
  this? Maybe that's what Maybe that's why the directors keep leaving. They keep
• 1:13:00
  trying to force him in there as a John Witherspoon vampire in Brooklyn type role
• 1:13:05
  and it's just not working. Oh that that would be. It's like,
• 1:13:09
  okay, so we're gonna put Kevin Hard. You're gonna do what? No,
• 1:13:14
  you don't do what? We know even better not in there now.
• 1:13:19
  Oh dear, god's not funny now that black le is still on his side
• 1:13:28
  of the way. I'm sorry, I don't know that boy should have been
• 1:13:31
  born with a punch to the face. That's all I gotta say. I
• 1:13:33
  blacked out for one second and then that and I was like, wait a
• 1:13:40
  minute. Never never did a boy need to have I don't think you're doing
• 1:13:48
  because you can't just say that like it was nothing, and Kevin past that,
• 1:13:58
  like like you just say that not to completely derail this conversation, but
• 1:14:03
  you know who would be perfect Kevin Hart and Caysonat Remember Transformers, the second
• 1:14:11
  one with them too little racist, I'll be honest. When they said until
• 1:14:18
  they brought it up on the boys, I was like, what racist robots?
• 1:14:21
  Because they killed Jazz in the first one, right, I'm telling you
• 1:14:26
  them too little. I cannot imagine those two as as the comedy relief in
• 1:14:30
  a Transformers movie that I cannot see Kevin Hart voicing a Transformer. It just
• 1:14:35
  it don't sound right. Said the same thing about Keegan Michael Key, and
• 1:14:41
  a parent of that movie did well so well. I have a little more
• 1:14:44
  faith in in in Key than I do in in in Heart. I'm sorry
• 1:14:47
  over wrong Heart is doing good, and I'm hoping Borlands does well. But
• 1:14:53
  no as a transfer as a voiceover, no smart. I thought that Streme
• 1:14:59
  was a test for whatever scripts have been written by Now, I got a
• 1:15:03
  question for you, because you talk about a movies. Did you guys see
• 1:15:08
  The bee Keeper? But I want to did you guys like it was about
• 1:15:15
  it? It was about his mindless violence as the expendables. But it's a
• 1:15:18
  good way to kill an hour and a half. Okay, I mean the
• 1:15:25
  flock was about instant and Swiss cheese. But I mean, right, it's
• 1:15:30
  the you said, lazy lacy, Lacey switch la. Okay, it's very
• 1:15:39
  lazy, well lazy, yes, I mean he did kind of walk through
• 1:15:45
  your like hit man, like, bruh, you just can't do this down
• 1:15:48
  the Beekeeper? And I'm like, you don't have like ten lines in the
• 1:15:51
  movie, but you know you've also got a forty million to do a movie.
• 1:15:55
  So well, I have judge. What was the one movie that,
• 1:16:00
  oh goodness, I've just drawn I was drawing drawing a blank hair. Sorry,
• 1:16:05
  old man, keep going, I'm sorry, I remember. I mean,
• 1:16:12
  what else I want it? Well? What else could be holding up
• 1:16:15
  this movie? I think we talked, we tried to theorize this a while
• 1:16:18
  back. We did. We did say number one thing when shareholders holding us
• 1:16:23
  up? That's put Prince was saying there are thieves in the temple tonight.
• 1:16:28
  That's well, here's the thing they've gone through was their second director or second
• 1:16:34
  director, six writers. One of the one of those writers was Bodmaya.
• 1:16:41
  Mm hmmm, and that was in the beginning mm hmmmm, gone through to
• 1:16:45
  directors. I'm sorry, there seems to be I don't know if this there
• 1:16:55
  seems to be a major issue. And like we theorized, Ladyelo, we
• 1:17:00
  gotta yourized, it's got to be. It's got to be in the back
• 1:17:08
  up. Yeah, m hmm. I mean it's fair to say this is
• 1:17:15
  going to be a clipper with these ladies and gentlemen too fine is already his
• 1:17:20
  wheels already spinning. My whole minder was about to be there's nothing but body
• 1:17:26
  armor juice after that. Just just so, speaking of mindless destruction violence,
• 1:17:41
  Bad Boys Ride or Die mm hmm has come off a fantastic what two weeks
• 1:17:46
  run now, yeah, two weeks run and made its money the first three
• 1:17:51
  days. That is, it costs one hundred million to make, they made
• 1:17:54
  it one hundred and six by last Sunday. Yep, it's not profitable.
• 1:18:00
  Yeah, it's officially profitable. However, fellas, if you're gonna make a
• 1:18:04
  fifth one, I suggest you do it within the next two years, because
• 1:18:09
  you can't be skicky. That's why I love Lady mandelor that's why I love
• 1:18:13
  this woman, thank you. But other outside of that, outside of that,
• 1:18:17
  and and not for the reasons you're thinking. It's not because of will
• 1:18:20
  Smith, Martin Lawrence and they they they've shown once again that it pays to
• 1:18:27
  see black faces in certain genres. It's the handle for me. What's up?
• 1:18:34
  Respectfully, I've seen a lot of the red carpet stuff going on.
• 1:18:42
  Oh lord, yep. Just Martin just questioned in the film, I haven't
• 1:18:47
  seen it yet in the film. Is he like doing stuff like I need
• 1:19:00
  someone? He is? But I will say, just because I wanted to
• 1:19:05
  make a comment about the boys later very much. You can very much tell
• 1:19:11
  they're putting things in place the same way Samuel Jackson is like, y'all can
• 1:19:15
  put me in the movie, but I ain't doing the damn running, so
• 1:19:16
  y'all better work around. Yeah, he has his moments, but you could
• 1:19:20
  if you look at where his character is in life and when they put him
• 1:19:25
  into play or how they put him in to play. They keeping that he's
• 1:19:30
  been shot many times. He's been shot twice by by his partner. It's
• 1:19:35
  been twice he's been shot by his partner. One would they bring it up?
• 1:19:40
  Every five seconds they bring up he's been shot as a reason. You
• 1:19:45
  can't. They're just not older and understanding the context of the conversation when they
• 1:19:57
  were on the recording tapes in the video store and everyone over my head as
• 1:20:03
  a child. Now that I'm an adult, I refuse to watch. I
• 1:20:11
  refuse to watch the movie. I'll go watch anime before I watched this movie.
• 1:20:14
  But it goes but no, this is actually a really good film.
• 1:20:17
  It's it's a fun, mindless buddy cop action film. And it got me
• 1:20:23
  to think you might put it on the movie night. It's fun to watch.
• 1:20:28
  I'll do it. When I turned sixty, I got because I literally
• 1:20:31
  when I was stopping in Albuquerque, when I was on my drive, I
• 1:20:34
  was I was like, I'm finna. I bought my ticket because I have
• 1:20:38
  MC subscription at the theater. I bought my tickets. I was like,
• 1:20:41
  you know what, I'm gonna go watch this movie while I wait, you
• 1:20:45
  know, for night to come, and then I'll you know, go get
• 1:20:46
  in my car and chill out. And then I got to Albuquerque. I'm
• 1:20:50
  sitting there and I'm like, Okay, let me route to the movie.
• 1:20:55
  That's just an hour away. And I said, look, obviously got why
• 1:21:01
  then hour away? When Yeah? So I was just like, you know
• 1:21:08
  what, I go see this movie at theaters. Just have to see me
• 1:21:11
  another time. An I like, yeah, I'm not that committed. It
• 1:21:20
  on the way it's like not even a drive. I just canceled my ticket.
• 1:21:30
  I was like, well, I'm good. I'm good. Damn.
• 1:21:39
  I will say that. It did get me thinking. I'm like, you
• 1:21:41
  know what, there are really some good buddy cops action films mm hm that
• 1:21:45
  are out there. Let's be cops. Oh. I like Lesby Cops.
• 1:21:57
  It's so funny. Look I do too, and I do not like cops
• 1:22:01
  stuff, but let's be cops. I can't even tell you, oh,
• 1:22:09
  because it's not I can't tell you that it is funny. It's not supposed
• 1:22:13
  to be like action field, but it's definitely supposed to be funny. And
• 1:22:16
  it is so the one, my super the one cop movie that got me
• 1:22:25
  because I was like, there's no way and I don't I can't tell you
• 1:22:27
  how many times I've seen Let's be Cops for no reason, just for I
• 1:22:32
  say, but I seen Welcome Home Roscoe. There's no reason I have seen
• 1:22:38
  this. I just watched it. Yeah, but it got me thinking.
• 1:22:41
  There's like, of all the comedy you know, cop action show or movies,
• 1:22:45
  I should say that are out the Mad Boys is one LEAs of Weapons,
• 1:22:48
  another one, you know, Rush Hours another, those are like the
• 1:22:53
  top three. Yeah, damn, I don't even see Rush as a cop.
• 1:22:57
  But now that you said that, you're right. It's that good that
• 1:23:02
  I do not care that they're you know, we're gonna get Rush Hour five.
• 1:23:09
  But that's crazy. Not the problem is they wait so long. I'm
• 1:23:15
  glad because they I'm glad he makes it. Ain't going cash not the saloon.
• 1:23:20
  And yes, you want mindless, the script is mindless. Like mm
• 1:23:28
  hmmm. Absolutely. The two cops were framed, tried, and sentenced in
• 1:23:38
  less than a week. Where the hell the fast food or judicial services all?
• 1:23:45
  Also, Jack Callis can say I got a shipment of drugs coming in
• 1:23:49
  and we need to frame these guys. I'm like, you got that done
• 1:23:51
  in a week? A week? I won't say what those blood forty hours
• 1:23:59
  was another one, Jesus hours. Yeah, and they only did what two
• 1:24:02
  of them? Yeah? They did two? Yeah, yeah, Nicks.
• 1:24:05
  It can only go on so long. He can only run off drugs for
• 1:24:09
  so long. So uh so loose are the top three as far as like
• 1:24:16
  cop action buddy cop action films. But if you want to talk like cop
• 1:24:21
  action, die hard for for quite a while was running it running campus said
• 1:24:31
  it again, number what was it? The fourth one? Uh? I
• 1:24:36
  think which one? I'm not gonna call him? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:45
  yeah, that was three. He kept calling Jesus and it was just
• 1:24:48
  like, no, it's hate soups. He was like, no, he
• 1:24:50
  kept calling him zeus. He was like, why do you keep calling zeus?
• 1:24:54
  He was like the kids was like hey, sous, Zeus. He's
• 1:24:56
  like, no, it's eight soups sous. But what was a crazy one?
• 1:25:06
  What's that? And to watch with the two cops and they discovered Yeah,
• 1:25:13
  and the watch is a good one, ma'am. You have one.
• 1:25:18
  He's muted. Oh your muted. Welcome to the Is it just cop movies
• 1:25:30
  or any buddy cop movies? Cop movies and buddy cop movies? Okay,
• 1:25:32
  if we're talking about like fantastic cop movies. We have to bring up the
• 1:25:38
  Raid. Oh yeah, that's a good one. And I don't know if
• 1:25:44
  I'm the only person here that's seen this, but this was like my first
• 1:25:46
  rated R movie because my mother loved the John Wu and I was real quiet
• 1:25:53
  even as a child, so I just sort of stored in the back and
• 1:25:55
  watched all sorts of insanity happen. But Hard Boiled, thank you, Yeah
• 1:26:00
  it yeah, yes, I love the record store near me they have a
• 1:26:11
  DVD copy of it. It was sixty dollars. I was like, I
• 1:26:15
  shan't, you shall not get sixty dollars from me. But I'm like slowly
• 1:26:19
  putting that money aside because I need it in my life. So yeah,
• 1:26:24
  yeah, Hardboiled is yeah, hardboiled in the rate. If you've seen boy
• 1:26:28
  Kill's World, which just was released earlier this year, that movie, it
• 1:26:31
  was okay, hilarious, it was so good. On my god, it's
• 1:26:33
  bloody violent, it's good. It's the Raid is literally that, it's the
• 1:26:40
  same. It's the same crew of people that work together. In my gut.
• 1:26:45
  Two ways to use a hammering movie. Oh my god, you had
• 1:26:50
  something, Mickey. It's not a comedy. But Training Day is like my
• 1:26:54
  favorite movie. Yeah, it's a good one. That's good because you're talking
• 1:26:58
  about one bad day, Lord and Mercy. It's my first day of the
• 1:27:01
  job. You get drugs, getting almost put out in the bathroom, and
• 1:27:11
  the only reason that, the only reason that saved your life was the first
• 1:27:13
  thing you did today, the only entirely it's clearly not for me. Oh
• 1:27:26
  yeah, bad lieutenant. Bath Lieutenant was another one with Harvey Contel, not
• 1:27:29
  with Nicholas Cage. Okay, yeah, bad Lieutenant. With that one,
• 1:27:33
  I'm looking at one now. Uhill, I was gonna say that. I
• 1:27:40
  was gonna say The Cop, the Gangster and the Devil. But that's a
• 1:27:43
  new one. That's a that's a martial arts movie. But it's also a
• 1:27:45
  flavor. Bulletproof, even though it was Bulletproof is funny mm hmm. Anytime
• 1:27:54
  you can say, hey, the guy in the porno yeah sideburns on his
• 1:27:58
  deck and I'm like, wait to stop what that was at? That was
• 1:28:04
  a line in Bulletproof, Adam it was it was Damon Wayne's and Adam Sandler.
• 1:28:11
  Oh no, I'm not I got my age because I think maybe Will
• 1:28:17
  Will Chris and Navy may know this police academy. Oh yeah, don't go
• 1:28:24
  to the Blue Oyster. Oh we support all our people's but I swear to
• 1:28:34
  god. That was the running joke in that in that entire series. You
• 1:28:39
  go down that alley hiding and you end up in the Blue Oyster. That's
• 1:28:45
  a little Taggard. Everybody. Everybody else was worried about. Everybody else worried
• 1:28:47
  about little Shotgun. He's sitting there with the whole miner. He's in there,
• 1:28:49
  standing the whole time. What are you doing? He's empty? It
• 1:28:51
  was dude, Taggard was a freaking good lord. What was he like?
• 1:28:57
  He ex marine or something? Yeah, ex marine next to high tower.
• 1:29:00
  High tower always be though. Yeah, the boy, they were dangerous ago.
• 1:29:06
  So that was one. Uh, Donnie Grasco another one. It was
• 1:29:14
  amazing. That's when Johnny Jeff was still had this angelic face and you're trying
• 1:29:18
  to make him this hard. You're gonna be hard, right, damn it?
• 1:29:25
  You just made me think about that righteous kill. Uh. Al Pacino
• 1:29:29
  Nero. Does anybody to play a disclaimer before Rush Hour now when it comes
• 1:29:34
  on TV? Yes, Look, I ain't even got cables, so I
• 1:29:40
  don't ever see nothing on TV. The pictures in this movie earlier time did
• 1:29:45
  not reflect the fact that we were just too soft at the time to let
• 1:29:47
  you know that you might get offended. Now close. We all love our
• 1:29:51
  nineties buddy comedies, but this movie was created in a different time. Fly
• 1:29:56
  I certain depictions language and you may seem outdated at all times. Roll open
• 1:30:00
  and credits that you can insert. The Almost every Disney movie before the Night
• 1:30:06
  Before nineteen ninety seven they do now. I tried to watch what was the
• 1:30:12
  I can't even enjoy a Latin now because apparently it's gonna make fun of Arabian
• 1:30:15
  people. I never watched the Way. Yes, I never watched Donald the
• 1:30:23
  Three. I never watched I mean that. I mean, you know,
• 1:30:30
  Disney was doing some crazy ship. I can't love about that. Disney lover,
• 1:30:36
  I love. I remember black Face, Bugs Bunny, so I get
• 1:30:40
  it. But I'm like, Disney absolutely was in their bag with the ridiculousness.
• 1:30:47
  I've never seen. You're right from Nerdy Bear, stereos, Yeah,
• 1:30:55
  police Story, any of them. I was gonna say, Yeah of God,
• 1:30:58
  Yeah, arm of God. Arm of God was in YO. That
• 1:31:01
  was one of Jackie's best Jackie the one fight seeing everybody talks about Armor of
• 1:31:06
  God or was that uh something else that was Armor of God? That was
• 1:31:12
  definitely, Oh, my gosh, I'd say story that has Jackie Chan and
• 1:31:16
  Michelle Yo. They sleep on Michelle Yo. She has been a threat and
• 1:31:27
  lady does not get older. I can't remember the man name of the movie,
• 1:31:30
  but it's yeah, it's her and Cynthia Rothrock. They wiped My gosh,
• 1:31:35
  Sydney Rothrock can still go. I mean that, lady. If you
• 1:31:41
  see the movies, huh or was it shoot? I can't think of it
• 1:31:45
  because they were like in the mall setting and they yo, they wiped the
• 1:31:50
  floor with them too. And the destruction that was in called The Lord Have
• 1:31:58
  Mercy. So yeah, there's uh the Last Boy Scout. Somebody mentioned it,
• 1:32:02
  but yeah, the Last Boy Scout Damon Wayne's and Bruce Willis the closet
• 1:32:06
  se you got a man in there. It's like the open door. I'm
• 1:32:11
  gonna count the three and I'm gonna shot him. I'm gonna shoot the closet,
• 1:32:14
  Like how did you know? And how did he know there was a
• 1:32:15
  man? Like how did he know there was a man in the house?
• 1:32:18
  Because the person we need that tangent. So we need that tangent alert right
• 1:32:24
  now? Is Kevin were there? I mean to that we're better than they.
• 1:32:30
  I felt like we're better than they should have been. Right along,
• 1:32:34
  Oh that is a cop movie, huh? Which was right along with Yeah
• 1:32:44
  it was you know, Kevin just had his Kevin way. Why does it
• 1:32:54
  sound like why does it sound like show you was saying, you know what,
• 1:32:56
  black people? Because because it's really about to give that because Kevin really
• 1:33:02
  just decided to push his run to the edge, and I feel like it's
• 1:33:10
  just like, bro, like, yeah you are. I used to love
• 1:33:13
  Camra, especially his old old stand ups. I still love his old old
• 1:33:17
  stand ups. But then when he came really heavy into the movie scene,
• 1:33:23
  he was just back to back, back to back, bright to back and
• 1:33:26
  then back to back a lot of the same things, and I just I
• 1:33:30
  hate that he did that because it's like, yeah, he made money and
• 1:33:34
  he's still making money, but it's over thraterated. It's not great content,
• 1:33:43
  and it's just like right along was funny. But if you think about all
• 1:33:47
  that, like, because I was really mad, there's no reason why I
• 1:33:50
  should go see a will Fare movie and that should be asked, why was
• 1:33:55
  the movie with Will fare Kevint asked, there's been asked. I stopped being
• 1:34:00
  Will thorough fan years ago. Sorry, that man, it's not funny after
• 1:34:04
  the other guy, and I understand that. I understand somebody is more funny
• 1:34:11
  than him. Okay, that's how Sorry. I'm surprised that nobody is Beverly
• 1:34:19
  Hills. Yeah, that's another one. That's a that's top tier. That's
• 1:34:25
  classic. That was that was classic jacket. That was lines fan. But
• 1:34:32
  I'll be damn if they spaced that out. Mm hmm. That's what it
• 1:34:38
  is. Yeah, yes, madam, Yes, madam, that's what it
• 1:34:42
  is. That's what wow. But she was on she was on the run
• 1:34:45
  from the late like mid eighties or in the early nineties stuff. Yeah,
• 1:34:48
  they were. They wanted you can go, you can go to rent,
• 1:34:53

• 1:36:46
  but it's on my list. We would do our best not to spoil anything.
• 1:36:56
  Possibly some boys and buddy cops, since we're technically you know, nobody
• 1:37:03
  buddy, ain't nobody buddy. I can tell you that Powers is a buddy
• 1:37:06
  cop show. Powers is, Yes, maybe b U T T y,
• 1:37:12
  but but you t T why look friendie, So I will I will say
• 1:37:23
  this. I will say this young lady who's playing sister's age who I'm glad
• 1:37:30
  you mentioned that maybe was actually in Powers. Uh. I need to know
• 1:37:36
  where she's going. Where else is she from? Because I feel like i've
• 1:37:40
  seen her face. She's been a bunch of Yeah, I can't remember her
• 1:37:45
  name off the top of my head right now, but she's she she beat
• 1:37:48
  She out here in the streets, and I think she'll be out more now
• 1:37:53
  that she's got this semi kind of starring role. This. Yeah, she's
• 1:37:59
  definitely ban character energy. Right now, I'm trying to look at her name.
• 1:38:03
  I want to I want to say I want to say that okay,
• 1:38:06
  number one. Uh, their fifth season will be their final season. It's
• 1:38:10
  not canceled. For people that's listening and watching, it's not canceled. The
• 1:38:15
  book has a beginning mental end. It does, so it's it's going the
• 1:38:20
  course as it should. Jessica Bradley, that's her name. Yeah, I
• 1:38:29
  want to root for her, even though she's like with the her name,
• 1:38:31
  her name, her real name is Susan Hayward. Okay, okay, character
• 1:38:39
  who is Jessica Bradley. Yeah, she's had she's had quite the film career.
• 1:38:45
  Yeah, say now what we're just saying I was. I want to
• 1:38:48
  root for her just because, like, hey, sister rise alloway through the
• 1:38:53
  seven and telling all his white folks what to do and for all this could
• 1:38:57
  just be a sick game for her pleasure for all we know. But at
• 1:39:00
  the same time, it's like I don't know whose team you're really are.
• 1:39:04
  And also I'm kind of the person where it's like gore doesn't bother me,
• 1:39:09
  but when you make me put stuff together and it makes my skin crawl.
• 1:39:13
  One of those because when I realized what she did to herself at the end
• 1:39:15
  of the episode the third episode, mm hmm, that's when I'm like,
• 1:39:20
  a second, but I'm just like, like, I didn't like get in
• 1:39:24
  COVID swab you. However, all I got to say is I hope she
• 1:39:29
  doesn't end up the way she does at the end of the book. Pregnant,
• 1:39:34
  way worse. It doesn't involve the deep though, but it's way worse
• 1:39:45
  now that now my thermost needs liquor. Thank you very much doing self.
• 1:39:51
  I mean, Jesus, I know what you're saying. I felt the same
• 1:39:57
  way. I felt the same way. I'm like, I want to root
• 1:40:00
  for you for the obvious reasons. However, yeah, you know you're on
• 1:40:11
  that's like you are the smartest person on the planet. But went, yeah,
• 1:40:17
  you know, have we ever seen No, we haven't. We haven't.
• 1:40:29
  We have not seen him in the street close. No, But see
• 1:40:31
  I like, which is like, I like how she picked him apart.
• 1:40:35
  Mm hmm see her. You know, she's down like a fractship. Just
• 1:40:41
  oh, by the way, this sad thing for you, and this sad
• 1:40:44
  thing for you, and oh yeah, you're probably trying to figure out how
• 1:40:46
  to save it. You probably figure how to try to save yourself, aren't
• 1:40:48
  you all? Within ten minutes, ya, how do you know I won't
• 1:40:54
  kill you? Well, you obviously came here for a reason, and I'm
• 1:40:58
  just like, well, damn, you need me. You found it came
• 1:41:02
  in playing close, but you've never done and and you came to recruit.
• 1:41:08
  So that was if that was just confidence. She loves confidence. At that
• 1:41:14
  part, She's like, you need me, You're not going to kill me
• 1:41:16
  and smile. So I want to know, like I get. I'm glad
• 1:41:27
  that even though it's an adaptation from the comic, I'm glad that they changed
• 1:41:30
  just enough to where it keeps you guessing. You know, there are certain
• 1:41:36
  things that we've seen happen, and if you read the book, there's certain
• 1:41:41
  things we've seen happen that has not happened. And for those who are wonder
• 1:41:45
  and for those who are wanted, abou laz Alonzo he lost weight, yes,
• 1:41:51
  because I'm seeing a lot of people online and it's the same thing as
• 1:41:56
  it was with Chadwick Boseman, and I'm like, y' y'all forget so quickly?
• 1:42:00
  Mm hmm. You know, I just know. I was just like,
• 1:42:03
  he looks crazy without facial hair, and then like a couple of scenes
• 1:42:06
  later, he's starting to grow facial health here. So I'm just like,
• 1:42:11
  okay, man, I know his weight loss and I'm like it's probably something
• 1:42:16
  whatever and that's business and nobody else's. But he's actually spoken on it,
• 1:42:25
  and it was you know, you didn't want the people were like I said,
• 1:42:28
  he spoke it is for his health. He did it for his health.
• 1:42:31
  You know, we just want your healthy. Yeah. So when you
• 1:42:34
  see that that rhetoric of oh god, it looks like he's on crack or
• 1:42:39
  they making these little jokes and I'm like, so, y'all forget mother's mother's
• 1:42:43
  milk became all the milk. Yeah, they were saying, yeah. So
• 1:42:48
  I'm like that was that was part of where I saw the discussion because they
• 1:42:53
  shout out to them, but they were like, I hope he's like that's
• 1:42:55
  a healthy weight loss, because I think we all got Chadwick. So I've
• 1:43:00
  seen some jokes that I'm mostly seeing a lot of concern, like I hope
• 1:43:03
  it's a healthy way loss, but the fact that he's retained so much muscle,
• 1:43:08
  I think he's fine. Yeah, yeah yeah. Lady Mandli, what
• 1:43:14
  are your thoughts so far on this season or are we still in House of
• 1:43:19
  Dragon mode? We're still in House of Dragon mode. Oh no, it's
• 1:43:21
  always House to Dragons over here. It's always on this season. Is it's
• 1:43:30
  good? I'm actually I was gonna say, I'm very surprised at the way
• 1:43:33
  that they're able to keep up with the current political climate, and every every
• 1:43:43
  single season has been simpson esque in their delivery. I am I am concerned.
• 1:43:48
  I'm very The only thing that they missed is Homelander being found out not
• 1:43:53
  guilty. That was a surprise. That was when the director says, y'all
• 1:44:00
  don't get it. I'm making fun of y'all like I'm making Yeah, I
• 1:44:05
  still don't get it four whole seasons to realize they were the joke, So
• 1:44:13
  they couldn't they couldn't see past people slinging ya yo for Gangbusters, for gaming
• 1:44:18
  the incense? Here man, which game so far? This season? What
• 1:44:26
  are your thoughts so far? Mhmm, what are my thoughts? I mean,
• 1:44:31
  I feel like we're just right back in rhythm with the just absolutely absurd
• 1:44:40
  and probably unnecessary full frontal male nudity. But you're just being Oh you don't
• 1:44:47
  like wait, you don't like being assaulted by your own anatomy? Is that
• 1:44:56
  are you tired of it? Gentlem, Sorry what girl? First off?
• 1:45:01
  Gentle about that episode or how frequent it is in one episode. I don't
• 1:45:08
  want to be I don't want to be controversial during Pride, but I,
• 1:45:12
  as a straight man, don't like ping. I don't like seeing it.
• 1:45:18
  No, it's the fact that you got it and then they hit the shadow
• 1:45:20
  clone juice with it endlessly one human. There's literally an army. I will
• 1:45:30
  just say this. If you are fans of Supernatural, you'll get what I'm
• 1:45:33
  getting ready to say. And I sat back and I'm like, chunk,
• 1:45:38
  come on chu. Technically that was assault on more waste than one, right,
• 1:45:47
  Although that just I mean, you see one centipede, you just don't
• 1:45:50
  want to see that again. Ever, I'm sorry, I'm concerned. I'm
• 1:46:00
  concerned about sister's age. I don't recall the way the comics goes, and
• 1:46:09
  I feel like we've deviated enough here and there, so I don't It's not
• 1:46:13
  probably super useful to go back and reread. But oh, I'm curious if
• 1:46:19
  she's just playing all sides all times, like this is a test of her
• 1:46:30
  mental skills at the highest level, Like I'm toying with this person that could
• 1:46:34
  like kill me in a snap. I'm toying with this huge company. I'm
• 1:46:40
  toying with these people that are trying to take out this dude. Like everyone
• 1:46:44
  is a puppet at the end of my fingertips, and I love it.
• 1:46:47
  In reality, she could be the best Vielain or best here, and I'm
• 1:46:59
  not. I feel like she might. She's setting up I can't remember the
• 1:47:04
  Sun's name. The billy is no, No, No, Ryan a little
• 1:47:14
  like I gotta fixed up. I feel like Ryan is. She's setting up
• 1:47:26
  Ryan to be the good guy to take over at BOT. I think that's
• 1:47:30
  that's what it feels like. The long con is hold on real quick.
• 1:47:33
  We're gonna let Mickey get her time to sign off. No, I'm sorry,
• 1:47:42
  You're fine, but I have such a great time. Thank you guys
• 1:47:45
  for opening up the space for me and letting me have fun with y'all.
• 1:47:49
  It was so great and I wish everyone here success and prosperity. Literally by
• 1:47:57
  a blood and lightning. You can go to Barnes Noble, or as Carl
• 1:48:00
  Jones like to call it, Barneys and noblest Barney. Go check that out,
• 1:48:06
  Go source your support, go pick that up. It's Nicky, it's
• 1:48:11
  been great having you on. I can't wait to get my hands on this
• 1:48:14
  book, and I know the crew is going after a big time, so
• 1:48:18
  thank you once again. We need more stories like that, and I say
• 1:48:21
  that for every show, for every guest that we have, we need stories
• 1:48:25
  like that consistently. This is why we have Blurred Station getting ready to launch,
• 1:48:30
  because we tell these types of stories. To tell these types of stories,
• 1:48:33
  you know, to tell them from our point of view, because why
• 1:48:38
  not. Orlando Jones has proven that it being mister Nancy and various others.
• 1:48:45
  But Micky don't want to thank you once again for coming on. So thank
• 1:48:47
  you, thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. It was great.
• 1:48:51
  Guys. I follow her on the socials. You monsters in the book
• 1:49:01
  here in the comments in the future, Yes by so so it's it's it's
• 1:49:13
  safe to say, because I can't remember what happened to stage in the book
• 1:49:18
  and I'll have to look it up. I think I stopped, you know
• 1:49:20
  what. That's what it was. I had stopped getting the book. I
• 1:49:25
  was in I was moving, I was in transition, and the story I
• 1:49:29
  went to they had crazy hours and I didn't go pick it up there and
• 1:49:33
  we were just moving to Cleveland, so I hadn't I hadn't picked it back
• 1:49:38
  up. But I will have to look into it. But yeah, you
• 1:49:43
  have to. You ever remind yourself. I ended because I had to remind
• 1:49:45
  myself how it ended, and I was like, yep, we're heading there.
• 1:49:48
  I was like, this roster we have right now, that's I'm curiously
• 1:49:53
  that's why we're making some of the choices we're making. Yeah, as long
• 1:49:57
  as long as they do the surprise of Homelanders true origin, that's what I'm
• 1:50:00
  looking forward to. He's going home next episode, so we'll see, well
• 1:50:05
  yeah, well that's well, yeah, I'm hoping they do it, but
• 1:50:09
  like I said, they might wait till last season to let that one go.
• 1:50:14
  Apparently there's deleted scenes, which I mean you have to get DVDs for
• 1:50:17
  that. This man has been like throwing his teachers in tutors since he was
• 1:50:20
  his son's age. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there was a
• 1:50:25
  I saw a video the other day of I guess he hugged one of his
• 1:50:28
  like tutors too hard and broke our spine. H it was out of joy.
• 1:50:31
  They like, like I didn't. He's like toga out of my heroes,
• 1:50:34
  Like I don't detect any malice, but he's still hurt. This person.
• 1:50:38
  Yeahm hm uh, I see h A train looks extremely torn. He
• 1:50:47
  looks extremely torn. Like he's just like it's like, you haven't an awakening
• 1:50:54
  too late. It's just like, dude, you've been kind of the pawn
• 1:51:00
  or the token this entire time. He knew that. You know what his
• 1:51:06
  story is. It is still it's the black guy with talent that joins a
• 1:51:13
  gang. It's still that story. It's still that story movie with Will Ferrell
• 1:51:17
  in the show exactly, except he's got away and now they've found a way
• 1:51:24
  out for him, so that I'm kind of on that storyline with him.
• 1:51:28
  It's Will yeah really because you see you see it even when he's doing the
• 1:51:31
  movie and he's just like he's telling the director like why would I say that
• 1:51:38
  way? He's like, I don't. He was like, and he told
• 1:51:42
  me. He corrected him in like no, he made him talk vernacular,
• 1:51:45
  like no, that's not how I talk. He just wouldn't hear it.
• 1:51:51
  And the fact that Will Ferrell was in there because I was like, oh,
• 1:51:55
  ship, come back, come back with me to the suburbs, and
• 1:52:01
  I'm like, yes, it was given blind side energy. Yes it was
• 1:52:08
  uh so that all the way blindside energy. Just but I do like the
• 1:52:15
  fact that you know they're they're trying to give him some redemptions, Like you
• 1:52:19
  had multiple chances to leave, sir, and yet you're scared of the one
• 1:52:24
  person who you run faster than did the rickcast his brother? Or does he
• 1:52:29
  just also look very different this season Christian Keys, Yeah, that's what I
• 1:52:39
  think. Everybody got new lost weight and got new facial cuts, and that's
• 1:52:42
  what's been throwing me. There's that possible. Also, I love that.
• 1:52:48
  I love that they have this just victorious the beginning episode with Newman or just
• 1:52:54
  like acid in boats don't work, I have to go change kay bye.
• 1:52:58
  I'm like, just should have this going badly for anyone at any moment,
• 1:53:01
  but because y'all are it was the absolute shot. Every time they tried something
• 1:53:05
  and like that didn't work that part, it's like you took a bullet to
• 1:53:12
  the head and it's like, Okay, you realize this is scucy right at
• 1:53:16
  that point, just let her go. Yeah, and you see how you
• 1:53:23
  see her react, You see her reaction. She was like, are you
• 1:53:25
  serious? I have to change now? She was. It could have went
• 1:53:29
  so far south, but it didn't. It was just like you know what,
• 1:53:31
  I actually liked you cut me? Just what just feel fact, just
• 1:53:39
  like popping people's heads, it's just something you got I question, just like
• 1:53:45
  not comics, but in this universe do we believe that she could pop Homelander's
• 1:53:51
  head and I could or if she couldn't, but like try does he like
• 1:54:00
  feel it? And like was that or like does he know? And then
• 1:54:03
  like just punch her head off? Oh she could kill him. She could
• 1:54:08
  be. But the problem is that mutually is your destruction? She's like because
• 1:54:13
  he even Homelanders said it Homelander practice. Homelander Practice said if you kill me,
• 1:54:17
  that's the end of your career. And if I kill you, well
• 1:54:20
  then nobody has said nobody's gonna ever trust me again. Mutually is your Mutually
• 1:54:25
  is your destruction? Yeah? Is that mutual? I'm curious if she's ever
• 1:54:30
  tried, even from a distance, because we saw at least Starlight got a
• 1:54:33
  nosebleed. But with him, I feel like it'd be weird to see him
• 1:54:39
  even just woozier with the headache. Some curious even made the attempt, or
• 1:54:44
  if he's known this whole time, and I'm curious, Like what Island is
• 1:54:47
  stand Edgar watching all this? Man like you damn kids. I love the
• 1:54:53
  fact that it's it's not so much upfront, it's a it's a lot of
• 1:54:57
  chess pieces being moved mm hmm, with with some messiness involved. Mm hmm.
• 1:55:06
  She does need she needs them in play in order to bolster her position
• 1:55:13
  in the White House. She does need them exist anybody else, it's gonna
• 1:55:17
  it's gonna dissolve, it's gonna turn the ship. Yeah, I was gonna
• 1:55:23
  say it's the same in his position, he needs her to keep his position
• 1:55:28
  in play. It's it's it's almost like we have to work together. However
• 1:55:31
  we don't like each other. We need each other. But yeah, I
• 1:55:35
  do know the fact that home Lander has a cult now and everything is kind
• 1:55:41
  of echoing what's in today's society, which is interesting because those very same napkins
• 1:55:45
  are offended. It's called it's called Mecca. Yeah, those same cults just
• 1:55:50
  like a real cult. God Sacrifice Goodbye to I like I like the irony
• 1:55:56
  that Susan Hayward basically starred in to show involving superpowered beings that could go either
• 1:56:04
  way because she was Diana Pilgrim in Powers, she was the other detective along
• 1:56:10
  with Christian and I was like, that's incredible. I was like, why
• 1:56:14
  does she look familiar? And it didn't dawn on me until I mentioned Powers.
• 1:56:16
  I was like, she was Was she considered the token black person on
• 1:56:24
  that show? No? No, no, far from Okay, see that
• 1:56:29
  show. That show came out at a time where there was there was a
• 1:56:33
  one for the show, but there was not easily accessible neither mm hmm the
• 1:56:39
  station network. Yeah, it wasn't easily accessible people. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:56:46
  I think it was two seasons. I think, yeah, two seasons,
• 1:56:48
  and the show was amazing. Yeah, that show was amazing. Brian Michael
• 1:56:53
  Bendis wrote the comic and it's one of my exactly one of my favorites because
• 1:56:58
  it has a a war vibe to it. You know, people were like,
• 1:57:00
  yo, the Boys is great. Unless you've seen Powers, you can't
• 1:57:03
  you genuinely can't make that balance comparison like it was. I think they.
• 1:57:09
  I think if you didn't have PlayStation Network, you could see like the first
• 1:57:13
  I think to first two episodes. Yes, but yeah, you like people.
• 1:57:17
  There wasn't a lot of buzz because it was only any It was on
• 1:57:21
  ps N. It was you know, I could it was it was.
• 1:57:26
  It was PlayStation trying to be Netflix at the time, and I appreciated him
• 1:57:30
  for that. And I think what I liked about Powers was everything was focused
• 1:57:33
  around a mystery who killed retro girl and then it's when you see everything flesh
• 1:57:40
  out and you just, oh my gosh. If you ever get a chance
• 1:57:42
  to watch it, go watch it's worse. I mean, I'm pretty I'm
• 1:57:45
  pretty sure it's free somewhere now. It might be on YouTube somewhere. On
• 1:57:50
  the grand line, people say that liked is officially worse than his dad,
• 1:57:58
  because yeah, Soldier Boy was a douche, but he was only like evil
• 1:58:03
  to those who he wanted better of or respected. He didn't just go around
• 1:58:06
  just like I'm gonna use I'm going to use the phrase that Jensen Atles himself
• 1:58:14
  has used playing Dean Winchester. Soldier Boy was a dick. Yeah, he's
• 1:58:20
  like, you know, he was a dick, but he was a dick
• 1:58:23
  to people who were around him. He didn't just go out and just like
• 1:58:25
  torture innostance and zap civilians, whereas your son just is now terrorizing the planet
• 1:58:30
  and also has a coup forming inside his own team because everyone can't stand him.
• 1:58:35
  But the funny part is he did. He did Soldier boy did go
• 1:58:38
  up the homeland and Southern said, I wish I raised you that way,
• 1:58:41
  you wouldn't be such a And then the fact that he is not a god.
• 1:58:47
  And dealing with the fact that you do get old, and you can
• 1:58:49
  get hurt, you can bleed. Can you bleed as shown by the gray
• 1:58:56
  pubic hair? Wow, have to check it? Ok, Yeah, I
• 1:59:08
  mean pretty much. It's a twenty v one right now. You did it
• 1:59:11
  to yourself. I'm just hoping the trade off for mother. I just want
• 1:59:15
  to trade off for for mother milk. Not getting violated. This season is
• 1:59:19
  watching our team self implode from bad decisions because again, not to repeat,
• 1:59:27
  may have not to sound like a douche during the month of June. But
• 1:59:30
  who's this NPC? I don't give two ships about that has friends, she
• 1:59:33
  relapsing and keeping his best friend he made a language with. Out of the
• 1:59:38
  loop, we suddenly got secrets in are just giving each other the finger on
• 1:59:42
  the way out. Now, well, I mean you, he's always He's
• 1:59:45
  always been on the fence, and strangely enough, Starlight is not as effective
• 1:59:50
  during the season. Yet she's taking a backstep she has. I think she's
• 1:59:57
  gonna step up now that they came to her her all. I was looking
• 2:00:00
  for the children in the basement that weren't there. That was wild. I'm
• 2:00:03
  like, yo, like where are the kids. I'm like, I know
• 2:00:06
  where this is going. Pezzagate wilder part about that is like I've eaten in
• 2:00:15
  that restaurant before, Like I wasn't there day of but like I was like,
• 2:00:20
  I'm sorry, what happened down the streets? What? So when that
• 2:00:27
  happened on the show, it was just like, oh no, I don't
• 2:00:30
  like it. Real life stuff and raise Floridian. Thank you to whoever took
• 2:00:38
  Firecrackers podcast to put a sticker in the that was so wild. I'm like,
• 2:00:45
  that's the like the producer said, we're making fun of this group of
• 2:00:50
  people, and it's taking you four seasons to figure it out. That says
• 2:00:57
  volumes when a certain certain when a certain pretend to be news station finally gets
• 2:01:04
  insulted, it does a full on editorial about the boys and says that,
• 2:01:09
  you know, we ought to sue. I'm like, no, that's okay.
• 2:01:14
  It's like, you can't get mad at the truth, right, isn't
• 2:01:15
  that Isn't that what you report? The truth? Right? So I don't
• 2:01:20
  know if you see them this season, but theory is that the key to
• 2:01:24
  beating Victoria is gonna be I feel so bad forgetting our sister's name. The
• 2:01:29
  main girl from gen V Maria. Everyone the girl controls Blood because I mean
• 2:01:41
  they they say that the current season and the next season of gen V would
• 2:01:47
  yeah, currently, yeah, apparently think about it? Is that if for
• 2:01:53
  all those that didn't see the in the gen V you saw Billy Batson's you
• 2:01:57
  saw Billy's characters show up. It's like he finds the kids that are that
• 2:02:01
  are in the infinite for us, So you know seasons, the final seasons,
• 2:02:06
  the boy is gonna be something else. Yeah, So did you find
• 2:02:10
  that I thought he found? I was like, okay, yeah, he
• 2:02:17
  found the lab, but I mean same area I still where they're at.
• 2:02:20
  But he did find the lab. I'm still curious. Lets you take a
• 2:02:25
  blash from Homelander and live because she woke up unscathed as well, and we
• 2:02:30
  just got everybody kind of breathed past that she was. She's gonna be something,
• 2:02:36
  that's for sure. She doesn't even know her own our own strength.
• 2:02:40
  So we'll find out when when Hippopper showed her how to use her how to
• 2:02:44
  use her blood, how to use her power in a different way that was
• 2:02:47
  messed up out, then there won't come at fatality. So well, it's
• 2:02:56
  that magic time people, no Texas Texas Wrapper Protocol initiated, Captain. Yeah,
• 2:03:10
  it's that magic time. We look, She's just like, I am
• 2:03:15
  so used to this now, I know I'm on. We always to night.

  Meeting Black and the Scores part in six one five where you can find me
• 2:13:00
  on the innerwebs, Guys, I usually cover a lot of things, including
• 2:13:03
  gym stuff. Why because there's feast between the weights. Although I struggle with
• 2:13:07
  my own goals, but it's nice to have the crew also join in the
• 2:13:09
  fitness as well. So I'm proud of all of you that are jointed,
• 2:13:13
  especially cities. Lest the fact that you said you're not at the goal because
• 2:13:18
  you're what bench person for twenty five? My goal is five hundred and I'm
• 2:13:22
  stuck it. I've been stuck at four twenty five like the last four months.
• 2:13:26
  And he's disappointed in himself at four five bars and us wrong with you?
• 2:13:35
  I have a goal. I'm not discouraging him, and I'm just like,
• 2:13:37
  well, who are you trying to lift the house. I'm just trying
• 2:13:41
  to say, I have a daughter coming, sir. That daughter one day
• 2:13:46
  is going to find a boy today. That boy must know death. Wait,
• 2:13:50
  wait, are you going to say that you don't want him to be
• 2:13:52
  the one? Well, sir, I can lift five hundred dammn I should
• 2:13:56
  have. Here's how it is. This is just me. I want my
• 2:14:01
  daughter brings that man up to the steps. I want him to feel my
• 2:14:05
  presence before the doors opened. Damn, that's what I want. I want
• 2:14:11
  intimidating, crushing fear. Wait, I have a your question. I have
• 2:14:16
  a sincere question because I've never had to deal with any of this, because
• 2:14:20
  women, I I do. Do you have any of y'all ever? The
• 2:14:26
  feeling of that sense of intending do when you when you're coming to somebody's house?
• 2:14:31
  No real quick placed it on someone? Oh yeah, it's otros Go
• 2:14:43
  ahead, man, I was threatened with gun violence. Mhm like, well,
• 2:14:52
  well did they toss your bullet and say this? Did they toss your
• 2:14:56
  bullet? Said this was a whole lot faster for o'clock. No gentleman thought,
• 2:14:58
  I is going to derail his daughter's future Olympic career by getting her pregnant.
• 2:15:05
  Wow, wow, way, he threatened me with gun violence. Then
• 2:15:11
  he called her bio daddy and he gotten my my aim and threatened me with
• 2:15:18
  gun violence. And I'm like, I'm sixteen. I see, don't care
• 2:15:24
  about you old men. See in my mind, I would take that as
• 2:15:31
  disrespect for my daughter is not even here yet, my daughter here yetting,
• 2:15:35
  I'm already like, exactly did did she do you her own Olympic career?
• 2:15:39
  Because the grown ups writers might owe you money. I think this was about
• 2:15:41
  to say plot twist. She's a family therapist, So I never I never
• 2:15:48
  deal with it. And you did not see that one coming. Well,
• 2:15:50
  Poetic justice is a bitchin't it When you grew up, When you grew up
• 2:15:56
  with Caribbean people, you get cussed out if you don't introduce yourself early.
• 2:15:58
  So I know had that problem because before they get a chance to intimidate me,
• 2:16:03
  I'm at the door ready for a handshake shoot off. Wait a minute,
• 2:16:05
  I thought that was a black folks thing period. Look, I don't
• 2:16:09
  know I know it's us, but with the aunties, you gotta introduce to
• 2:16:13
  each one of them individually, or your disrespectful look I've never had. I've
• 2:16:20
  never had that that feeling of impending doom. I've been the charming one,
• 2:16:24
  like I've charmed some folks. It's a gift. It comes from my mother's
• 2:16:30
  side of the family. So you know that whole I'm gonna look your dead
• 2:16:35
  and I I'm shaking your hand. I'm looking at your dead and I so
• 2:16:37
  I'm like, there is no fear here. See that I can respect.
• 2:16:41
  But then again, my daughter's gonna be cute and she's gonna be cuddly,
• 2:16:45
  and I would look at every boy that looks at her with just murderous intent.
