00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:04.799
To try to rely on sequels to make this movie good.
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:06.799
Hey, you gotta watch the thing, right?
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.160
As a cliffhanger, you gotta watch the next one.
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.080
And it's the same way with the multiverse.
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.439
It's like, oh, you just saw you just saw a fraction of it.
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:21.359
You need to see all of them, and then they circle back, and it turns out you were an idiot the whole time.
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.120
It was a good movie.
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.839
Don't I don't want anybody to hide.
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:27.760
Oh, well, we haven't gotten there.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:28.559
You don't get it.
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.679
You know what I mean?
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:39.359
I think a lot of a lot of in older movies, a lot of time and effort was put into making this one story, this one film, boom, good.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.320
And then you're like, oh my god, it was so good.
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.560
I wish, I wish there were a second one.
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.479
But then we ran into the problem to where, oh, now the second one was done by a different company and it's not as good.
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:56.640
Or, oh, the story, the first one was so good, you know, it's the cash grab, they call them.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.520
That we're doing a sequel just because we everybody wants it, it'll make us some money because this one was so great.
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.239
And then the quality of it starts dipping, it's not so good.
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:05.519
Same thing with the multiverse.
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:13.519
It's like now you gotta, now you gotta go watch, and then and then you get and then that's why it's not good because you don't know everything, idiot.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.480
That's how I feel about uh that's a genre.
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.799
Are remakes and reboots actually a problem, or do people just complain about them?
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.239
If you know me, I'm gonna complain.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:38.799
Um there are some movies that I would like to see a reboot of, but not necessarily to take place of the original.
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:40.079
You know what I mean?
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:41.920
Because I the original still exists, right?
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:43.599
I want the original to still exist.
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:48.560
I just want an extension of this story or or something like that.
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.319
I mean something is so good.
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.680
I don't want it to take away, I don't want to delete the first one, and hey, this is it now.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:02.719
I I would like a continuation, not necessarily a sequel, or if you do a retelling, I want it to be done right.
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:08.560
So many times, so many times that they do a reboot or a s or a remake, what is it?
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:20.719
And a lot of it, they're trying to use the greatness of the original to do their remake, and it's like a lot of callback, and you know, but I I think that's borrowing.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.439
You're borrowing too much aura, you're borrowing too much aura from the original.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:26.639
You know what?
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:32.719
I think um alright, I think maybe I'm being aggressive, maybe I'm blaming everybody, but you know what?
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:33.759
I have to.
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.800
If I think they should be held accountable for not making great stories, I'm gonna say it.
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.080
And if you agree with me, let's all meet in front of parliament.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:43.439
No, no, I'm just kidding.
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.319
Um, yeah, that's what I think, honestly.
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:59.439
I think I don't want them to borrow too much, too much aura and greatness from the first, from the original that was great, and then try to uh make it like, yeah, we're great too because we're doing it.
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.360
I need you to make a great film.
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.800
And if it's a remake, it still has to be great.
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.319
Don't don't use this guy.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.639
Hey, leave him alone, you leave him alone.
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.120
You gotta make it great on your own.
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.159
If I were to do a remake, let me think.
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.639
And now I I'd like to give that question a little more thought.
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:29.919
If I were to rip if I were to make a remake, I'd do I'd make a love potion number nine because love potion number nine, it's not a great film.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:30.560
You know what I mean?
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.800
It's not like, whoa, blockbuster, everything's cool.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.599
It was Sandra Bullock and this and this handsome guy over here.
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.879
They they took a magic love love potion, and anyone, right, they spray it in their mouth, anyone they talk to falls in love with them.
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:43.280
Right?
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:53.120
So it's like this power that they're balancing, and then they start off, they're very like awkward and kind of ugly characters, you know, and then and it's Sandra Bullock, and this other guy is kind of nerdy, I forget his name.
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.280
No disrespect to him, I know you're listening.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.280
But as they as they grow, it makes them beautiful, right?
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:06.159
They become beautiful people, and whatever happens, and now they're in this thing to where like everybody likes them, but nobody loves them, right?
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.639
And now they're in this like circle that everything is perfect, but nothing's like it's not enough for them.
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.000
They don't have love.
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.480
It's the curse of the potion, whatever it is.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:17.920
So I would make that, right?
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:19.279
Take that premise.
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:28.160
Do not cast, do not, oh, do not call, do not cast Zendaya and Tom Holland for this movie, right?
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:33.439
If I would if I would make this movie, no Tom Holland, no Zendaya, no Dwayne Johnson, no typecasting.
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.079
I want some people that nobody's ever heard of.
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:38.000
I want actors that nobody's heard of.
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.120
It doesn't matter.
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:47.839
It doesn't matter who they are because the story, I want the story of the film to carry the weight of the movie, not typecasting.
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:48.319
Right?
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:54.000
So I would hire some actors that aren't well known, and then just see how it happens.
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.360
And that's that that's what that would be my idea for a remake.
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:02.240
If I would do a different remake, I would do um Waterworld.
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:02.560
Right?
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.639
Waterworld is cool.
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.040
Can I make it better?
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.759
I don't want to take away from the first one, but it's like it's like my granddad, right?
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.839
So let's say the the original was a granddad.
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.519
Granddad wants me to be better.
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.680
I can't just do whatever granddad did.
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.920
I gotta I gotta switch it up, I gotta do something great for my granddad.
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.120
Right, so I'd probably try to do a version of Waterworld.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.680
I don't know, gotta learn how to screenwrite and all this stuff, and then maybe I can do something.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.399
But if you like that idea, let me know.
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.000
Love potion number nine.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:40.160
What's the last movie you think will actually be remembered in 20 years?
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.360
Alright.
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.160
20 years would be 2046.
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:51.360
Everyone will be struggling to survive, and movies will just be a memory.
00:05:51.839 --> 00:06:00.879
And all we'll have is this your granddad's voice, your dad's voice telling you there was a bald man named Toretto and a friend named Brian.
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.240
You betrayal, right?
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.079
And then so pretty much we reverted.
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.000
Yeah, we you know, think about back then cavemen and Native Americans just telling stories through paintings, right?
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.519
And then we got pictures, they got the motion pictures, we got movies, we got blockbusters, we got everything.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:30.480
So I honestly think in 2024, if things are going the way they're going, we're gonna revert back to me telling the story to my kids, that story being passed on, and so on and so forth and forth and so forth.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:34.079
But they'll probably remember what's a good movie.
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:41.439
So let's say let's say that all right, let's let's think of a movie that came out this year, that'll be around in 2020.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:43.839
What came out this year?
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.720
Uh, what's that uh Ryan Gosley movie?
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:47.839
Probably Project Hail Mary.
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:52.000
I haven't seen it, but uh maybe something like that.
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:52.800
I don't know.
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.560
I really don't know what's been coming out this year.
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:59.600
Do you think superhero movies killed the mid-budget movie, or was that already happening?
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.800
It definitely did.
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:01.680
It definitely did.
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.959
And I remember like it because superhero movies, if you remember, right?
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:13.839
There before the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2009 with Iron Man, there were there were a few Marvel properties, right?
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:18.319
We had Toby Maguire, Spider-Man, Blade, Ghost Rider.
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.240
So they were they were building something, right?
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.399
We we saw this, but they weren't the the universe didn't exist.
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:26.000
They weren't we never saw them together, right?
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:27.680
They couldn't afford it or whatever it is.
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:36.319
And then when they were able to do that with um with the Avengers or or whoever, because you know, each one they got a standalone film, right?
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.399
Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, all that.
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:49.600
Um, then when they brought them together, Marvel really hit, really hit their stride in the formula for like, hey, boom, origin, boom, this happened, boom, close it out, boom, next movie.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.040
Ooh, hey, in this movie, make them say that person's name.
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:53.920
That's how they know.
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.839
And then they're like, okay, now bring them together.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.399
Oh, now, yeah, and then they built this whole thing.
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:07.439
And everything else, because this made so much money, they had a pretty decent formula, they were able to just make so much money and make so much movies and so many properties.
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:17.040
But everything else, everybody else that was trying to make a movie, because it wasn't a Marvel thing or a Disney thing, they didn't, they couldn't stand up to it.
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:17.360
Right?
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.199
They couldn't stand up to the budget.
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:30.879
So, in a way, at the time, it's kind of like when you're it's like it's just like being able to manage your drinking to where now it's a problem.
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:38.000
So, you know, you know, at first it's like, hey, we're all cool, good vibes, Marvel movie, we're having a few drinks, and then hey, it just destroyed everything.
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.200
Like, hey, everything's kind of uh you did too much.
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.480
You did too much.
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:51.519
So, in a way, a lot of the big uh big chain superhero movies, yeah, they did uh ruin it for a lot of smaller movies that are still great.
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:56.639
Is there a decade of film you'd call the best and can you defend it?
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:14.480
Well, I felt when I I was in first grade, my favorite movie was Rush Hour, and then from there it just everything's been you know I mean I loved I love comedies, I loved movies, and then I just wanted to see it.
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:21.360
So you know I mentioned it earlier, the 90s ultimately the 80s, right?
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:27.039
80s is great because before the 80s nobody could make these great movies, these crazy, right?
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.840
The Terminator, you think, you think Terminator, back to the future.
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:32.159
This is the first time people have been seeing this stuff.
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.000
They saw the DeLorean, they saw the metal skeleton of uh of the Terminator.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.840
So that was such a that was such a breaking point for movies.
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:44.000
So how could the 80s not?
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:45.759
And then they kept pushing the envelope.
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.759
If anything, I you know there's a lot of hate.
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:51.840
I and I and you know I'm I'll be the first guy to hate.
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.679
I'll be the first guy to complain.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.519
But movie makers have been doing their best to make it great.
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.919
They're all but they're they're bad movies.
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.519
There's a lot of bad movies.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.200
I love movies, and I thank movie makers for going out there and doing it, you know?
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.399
And I mentioned earlier, I really like for me right now, nostalgia.
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.720
I'm liking the 2000s movies.
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:23.600
2000s, up to like 2010-ish, right?
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.639
So the 2000s decade and the 90s decade.
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:33.039
For me right now, that's what I'm revisiting, and everything's great, even if it's bad, it's great.
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.799
And that's what we do here, man.
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.440
We just this is a podcast where we just want to love movies.
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.879
Thank you to the movie community, thank you to the movie makers.
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.720
I think you guys are doing great.
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.559
Do you think the audience has gotten worse at sitting through slow movies?
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.840
For sure.
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:50.799
For sure.
00:10:50.879 --> 00:11:00.000
You know how my attention pan, my attention span, when I put on a movie, you can't, nah, you can't.
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.600
And you know, I hate to admit it, but yeah, my attention span is like starting to go.
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.960
Because I'm like, alright, bro, what are you what are you doing?
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.039
What's what what what are we doing here?
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.480
I gotta see what's going on.
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:14.639
And and I'm very chill about it.
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.240
Like I I wanna see what's happening.
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.720
I want I'll give you all the time you need.
00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:27.039
But once I feel it's a slow burn, and for example, uh, what's this movie with um with uh this English black dude?
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.200
It's called like Blue Ridge or Devil's Ridge or Broke Break Bridge, whatever it is, right?
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:43.120
Where he's like a Marine, but he's a biking through town and the cops mess with him, and he's like, the whole movie is a slow burn that ends in a fist fight, that is like he still does the right thing and he doesn't beat everybody up.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:56.240
So I'm like, bro, all that we all this that we had to sit through that was kind of quiet, a lot of pauses, a lot of dialogue, a lot of suspense, all this to end in a fist fight that he kind of took it easy on everybody, but I couldn't see him.
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.120
Uh I don't wanna say nothing bad.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.519
I thought that was a slow burn.
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.200
Did it pay off?
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:04.960
For me, no.
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:06.720
Was it a cool movie?
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.759
I'm not gonna watch it again.
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.159
That's how I that's how I rate movies.
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.440
That's how I rate anything.
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.960
And I know, I know, look, this is how I rate everything.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.039
Restaurants and movies.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.679
People love to do on a scale of one through ten.
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:31.039
But the thing is, you're never gonna give anybody a ten, and you're never gonna give anybody anything below a six unless you're uh like a five or a six, you're not going below, right?
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.200
It's like, hey, this guy's a 2.3.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.960
I'm not doing that.
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.679
This is how I rate things.
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.279
Yes, there's three, right?
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.559
There's three sections.
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:44.720
Yes, watch this movie.
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:46.879
I think this movie's good, it's great.
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:54.240
If it's on, if it's on and there's nothing else going on, and you don't have to pay for it and you don't have to go out of your way to watch it, it's okay.
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.840
I wouldn't watch it.
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.480
Nah, I I don't I thought I I didn't like it.
00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.360
I didn't like it.
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:01.200
I'm not gonna watch it again.
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:02.159
No.
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:03.120
Boom.
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:04.559
Green, yellow, red.
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.840
That's how I rate things.
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:07.039
And the same for restaurants.
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.840
Hey, this restaurant is great, I'm coming here again.
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:10.879
Yellow.
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.960
If I'm in the area, there's nothing else, it'll do.
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:16.480
Boom, no.
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:17.120
That's it.
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.600
Because how am I gonna give somebody an 8.6?
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:20.320
Right?
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.799
If it's a restaurant, hey, I give this restaurant 8.6.
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:29.039
But if I'm not in the mood for that, whatever, but I mean, man, that's that's my grade, right?
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.679
That's how we'll I I'll rate things here, and it's been it's been working pretty well for me so far.
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:35.759
It works pretty well.
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.519
What would you question, man?
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:39.679
Oh, slow movies?
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.320
Yeah.
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.440
It is hard.
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.000
It's hard.
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:43.919
You have to be invested, right?
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.639
What type of movie nobody makes anymore that you miss?
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:49.679
Hmm.
00:13:50.559 --> 00:14:02.720
Uh just an You know, and I know you're gonna I know you're gonna say there's a ton out there, I just haven't been watching any, but I just want a standalone movie that's not tied to a universe.
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.519
You know what I mean?
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:10.480
I just wanna, hey, here's this movie, here's a few characters, this is the situation, this is what happens, this is how it ends.
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.480
And if if the story is good enough, that's beautiful.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.840
What else can I ask for?
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.440
That's exactly what I want.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:25.679
I don't want yeah, I don't want I don't I don't like movies hiding behind a multiverse or a remake or anything like that.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:26.480
So that's what I like.
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:33.360
I like a standalone movie that I could just watch, and then if if I you know I'll do the multiverse thing.
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.879
That's okay too.
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:42.159
But what I value the most is the what I said is that standalone movie.
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.240
Do critics matter anymore?
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:44.960
Not to me.
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.399
You know what we do here, no.
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:53.120
And especially if your job is to be a critic, nah, you're really you're finessing them, you're finessing people.
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.279
Because like, who are you?
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:56.240
Who are you?
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:57.840
Well, I was in the industry.
00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.039
Nah, I don't care.
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:00.320
I don't care, bro.
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.799
Is there a movie everyone calls a masterpiece that you think is just fine?
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.000
Do you want to know the truth?
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.960
I thought I thought the Sopranos was just okay.
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:17.200
I'll give you a sec.
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.000
The Sopranos is just okay, everybody.
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.000
And you know, and you know, I love I love mob movies.
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.840
Don't ask my ask my mother.
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.080
Ask my mama, I love mob movies.
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.759
But the Sopranos is just what are they doing?
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:34.399
What what like from the beginning to the end?
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.039
From the beginning to the end, what got done?
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.600
First season, last season, what got done?
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.679
Everyone just betrayed each other, everyone just got mad at each other and killed each other.
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.799
Everybody was dead, or in jail and dead, or whatever it is.
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.440
And and and there was um some funny stuff.
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.879
There was like the whole thing with Vito, and there's like a bunch of characters you get to know, and it's like, it's cool.
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.120
It's cool, but maybe it's because I watched it all in one go.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.960
I didn't watch it as it came out growing up.
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.840
I watched it all in one go, and I'm like, alright, alright.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.240
I hope they I hope they have a better plan than that.
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.519
I hope this pays off.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.960
I hope this, I hope this climbs, I hope this does good.
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.720
And I I just wanted more for them.
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:23.840
I just wanted them to I just wanted them not to end everybody because of their emotions.
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:27.519
I wanted more for them.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.759
What genre you avoided for the years then came around?
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.039
My my wife doesn't like scary movies.
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:38.720
Um, and I think they're pretty cool.
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.519
But other than that genre that I avoid, I like them, I'd watch them all.
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.240
I like them all.
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:49.759
If I have if it's on HBO, if it's on HBO Max, or if any service I have right now, I'd watch it.
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:50.639
I'll watch anything.
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.559
I watch love movies, I watched a musical recently.
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:53.679
I mentioned that last time.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.600
If you could bring back one era of movie going, what would you be bringing back?
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:03.120
Oh, just the movie, you know, the movie going is um is great.
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:08.079
But the thing is, like, there's things that I do with the movies now that I can't go back.
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.240
I like reserving my seat.
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.480
I don't want to be in there looking around.
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:21.759
Especially uh, you know, growing up, use a full movie theater, and you got you know your family is for you, and you're like, oh, well, there's there, but they're African-American.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:22.319
No, I'm just kidding.
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.160
And then, oh, here's some here, but they're too close.
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:25.200
And then, you know, whatever.
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.960
So, like, I like to reserve my seat.
00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:28.400
They got recliners now.
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.759
There's some nice movie theaters here.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:36.079
There's movie theater where you get order food, the server brings it to you at the at the thing, but I don't take my kids there.
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.440
That's just for just for me and the missus.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:46.720
So I think just movie clean, I think movie theater should just be clean, fun, and I and I miss that.
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.680
Even if they're not clean.
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:51.359
I love the smell of the popcorn, the soda, the games, the carpet, everything.
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.559
Everything's cool, man.
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.640
It's just um it's just hard to go to now.
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:57.839
You know?
00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.759
Here's a few more questions.
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:04.400
These are let's see, these are more personal.
00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:11.599
What's something that you've changed your mind about in the last few years that would surprise people who knew you before?
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.279
Oh man.
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:23.359
I think I think just the person I think just as a person, I've changed to the people that I that have known me before.
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:32.240
Um I don't know, I don't know how much I've told you guys, man, but I've been very growing up, I was very like I was very uh I wasn't the way I am now.
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:35.519
I'm not calm and nice.
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:37.519
I'm not calm and nice.
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:51.359
I was very angry and very very angry and very I don't want to say vindictive, but I was very angry and uh I don't want to say violent either, but I'm very loving, nah, I don't want to say I'm a loving person.
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:58.960
I love my family, I love my kids, I only want to grow and be better, and that's not the way I was before.
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:11.920
So I think maybe I'm a I'm a lot nicer now because I've always joked around, and a lot of times my jokes would be like, what's the meanest, craziest thing I could say about this person right now that nobody would ever say, right?
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.119
I'd make fun of his limp.
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.519
I'd say this, hey, whatever, whatever.
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.200
Dead relatives, whatever it is, hey, hit him, break him.
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:21.680
And those things hurt people, you know what I mean?
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:28.079
Like now as an adult, I'm like, damn, but I really made fun of that guy's dead relatives, or whatever this and that, or something he could control.
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.759
And now, you know, now I'll say something really nice.
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:35.920
And then, you know, I was like, hey, you know what?
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.960
You're a lot, uh, you're very well spoken.
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:50.799
I'll say something nice or say a compliment, something that you wouldn't tell somebody in public, or maybe something that, you know, is like a very nice thing that I'm not embarrassed to say, and I'll say it in front of everybody.
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:57.599
So I think that person could uh either feel good or know that there's something about them that's pretty cool.
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:01.039
So that's something that I do different, very different.
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:04.960
What's something that you're good at now that you were terrible when you started?
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:16.079
Podcast, podcasting, podcasting, and then the thing is this podcast, I started in 2018.
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.640
2018, you guys just got just found here.
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.640
You you know, you just got here, you just found me.
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:23.519
But I've been doing it, I've been telling stories, I've been trying to grow.
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:25.680
But the thing is, it's always been on the back burner, right?
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:44.799
I never gave it my my full attention, and even now, you know, my last episode came out a month ago, a month and a half ago, and then you know, I don't want to do excuses, but you know, I I I work full time, I have a family, I'm trying to do my school and things like that, and then easily the content that I try to make on YouTube channels and here, they get left for last.
00:20:45.440 --> 00:21:00.640
And I, you know, I read a lot, I'm always listening to an audiobook or a podcast about whatever, and then I want to block off my time to where like, okay, this I was only gonna record right right now, I was only gonna record for 30 minutes, but I didn't even realize it's been exactly 30 minutes.
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.119
Hey, thanks.
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.960
Thank you for the I'm just kidding.
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:08.720
But um, I'm trying to be better at blocking off my time, and I'm still trying to get better at my podcasting stuff.
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:12.240
But as for anything else, everything.
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:14.559
Actually, when I was a young cook, I was bad.
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:19.440
I was bad at uh um I would never write down certain recipes.
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:24.160
So I'd I'd show my work to the chef that was training me, and she'd be like, What is this?
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.720
I'm like, oh well it's 50% this, 50% that.
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.839
She's like, no.
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.440
Oh, but that's what you told me.
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.279
She's like, that doesn't make sense.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:32.880
Why would it be 50% of this?
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.839
I told you this.
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.000
This isn't right, this doesn't even look right.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.160
So yeah, you make, you know, you make so many mistakes and you learn.
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.799
One time I got yelled for using black pepper in a recipe when it called for white pepper.
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:46.240
Little things like that.
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:49.599
You learn on your way, and but if you stop, you don't learn anything.
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.880
And then if you keep going, and maybe one day you'll be good at it.
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:59.279
And that recipe, you know how much I think about black pepper and white pepper, and it's a fond memory of that chef who passed away.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.519
And I think of her and I laugh because she was so bad.
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.680
Um, but yeah, you'll start anything.
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:10.000
You'll start anything, and if you give up right away, you're not gonna do nothing.
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:13.039
So just do it, whether you're good or bad.
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.480
Some people are like, hey, how people tell me, hey, how how how were you able to do this?
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:18.160
How could you how could you come so far?
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:19.680
Hey, I just sent it, bro.
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.400
I sent it.
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.240
Whether I was good or bad, I sent it.
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.400
And then if I was bad, I'd get a little better, but I'd always send it.
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:28.160
So just send it, bro.
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:29.519
Whether you're good or bad.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.119
If you're good at it, bad at it, just go.
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.319
What's the best money you've ever spent?
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:38.160
My mattress is really good.
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.319
Um, I forget how much I I forget how much I bought it for.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.480
My mattress is really good.
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:49.200
It's very firm, very like uh I don't want to say any brands on here, they don't pay me.
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:55.119
So I have a really decent mattress, my sleep's really good, I have a really good pillow, and that's really great.
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.960
I also used to have a really decent couch, but my kids.
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:07.279
Uh, it's not just them, you know, it's getting worn down and everything like that, but I like having firm, good, soft, but firm furniture.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:09.599
Um, I have a decent truck.
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:18.079
Yeah, you know the big purchases, I bought I bought a house in North County, San Diego when they were telling me not to buy it.
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.839
I sent it anyway.
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.279
Boom, I got a great rate.
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.359
My rate is like a two point something.
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.240
I bought it for this much, it's almost doubled.
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:27.279
The house is good.
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:32.480
You know, now I don't have to worry about moving out and renting, and then my kids have a place to grow up, and it's a good investment.
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:33.599
That was good money that I spent.
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:39.119
I have a decent truck that's reliable, it's new, and then my mattress, and then everything else.
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:43.920
I try to buy good ingredients to make good food to feed my family.
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.000
That's where my money goes.
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.319
Um, just make sure my bills are paid.
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.160
I mean, so and you know, I wasn't always great with money.
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:59.119
Uh when I started off, 18, I haven't paycheck, I was already not even making that much money, and I was bad with it.
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:04.240
So, all the big stuff for my family and for your body is money well spent, I think.
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:09.039
And we could go into more that question when we have more time.
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:15.279
What's something small that you do every day that you'd miss if you couldn't?
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:16.559
Mmm.
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:21.359
Oh, I can think no, just kidding.
00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:25.200
Um you know, a lot of times I'm with my family, right?
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.680
My kids are out there and they're like they're wearing bunctions, they're a lot, they have a lot of energy.
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:36.319
But then sometimes I come home and my wife, you know, she went out somewhere, all the kids, and it's quiet, there's nothing here.
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:37.839
And it's a sadness.
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.799
I feel like a sadness when they're not here, my loudest kids.
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:43.279
So I love my family.
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.480
That's what I would miss if I didn't see them every day.
00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:48.319
Who shaped you who you are?
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:53.759
Who shaped who shaped who you are that probably doesn't even know it?
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:56.480
Oh man.
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:05.920
You know, when I was growing up, I was surrounded by a lot of men that told that would always tell me to man up.
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.000
Alright, they'd always tell me to man up.
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:17.200
But the thing is, none of them all those guys were never a man that I would look up to.
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:17.599
Right?
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.160
All those guys that would tell me to man up, they were never the men I'd I'd never look up to them.
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.759
Even though they were up, they were like older than me.
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:28.160
They were my like my stepdad, my stepdad's friends and older people that I knew.
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:32.000
I thought they were they all seemed weak to me.
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.880
You know?
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:38.720
Because all of them would tell me to man up, but nobody ever taught me anything.
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:49.839
You know, everybody was so, everybody could be so everybody was so aggressive, and they expect me to know things already because maybe it was hard for them, but nobody could ever teach me anything.
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.319
Nobody sat down and explained to me why something's like this, or hey, you're gonna need to learn this.
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:55.599
This was gonna help you.
00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.559
Nobody.
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:02.160
And a lot of them, they just wanted me to to be great on my own, or hey, you should be great already.
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:08.400
And I don't know I would just think you're not great.
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:09.920
You're not so great.
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:22.319
And hey, you gotta work hard, and then not see them not work hard, or like they'd work hard in one area where they thought, hey, I worked hard here, now I can now my wife can do everything else for me.
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.200
And then, and that's like a big in Mexican culture for the for the wife to do everything for me.
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:28.240
Go ask my wife.
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:32.000
Go ask my wife, she does anything, not anything, but does she do everything for me?
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:32.799
Nah.
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:45.279
Um, so a lot of the men, just a lot of men, whether they were good or bad, I looked at him and I was like, I don't want to be like this, and it helped me be a certain way.
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.279
Or, hey, here's this guy, you know what?
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:52.400
This guy, he is a certain way, and I like that about him.
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.039
And then a lot of times, you know, I've I've been in trouble.
00:26:55.119 --> 00:27:01.759
I've been in trouble with people, and they've given me these lectures, and those hard lectures, even though those words they sting, right?
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:10.640
You know, my I had a family member who, you know, he told me, he's like, hey, everywhere you go, and he's like, he was mad.
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:16.640
He was telling me this, he's like, hey, everywhere you go, you have the same problem, and I'm telling you, the problem is you.
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:18.240
It's you, man.
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.519
Everything you touch, everything you touch breaks, everything you do breaks.
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:28.000
And everywhere you go, you have the same problem, and that problem is you.
00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.920
God, bro.
00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:32.480
And I hate I was mad, you know.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:33.599
I was like, who are you?
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:35.440
Like, who you think, you know what I mean?
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.799
Like, but he was right, man.
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:45.279
If I couldn't change, if I wasn't able to change like the way I operated and the way I was doing things, and if I couldn't change that, then he was he was right.
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:46.319
He was absolutely right.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:48.240
And I hated hearing it.
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.359
But that was a very important moment in my life.
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:52.720
There's also Steve Brewer.
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:57.519
Steve Brewer, when I was a young man, criminal record, I couldn't get hired anywhere.
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:03.680
I couldn't get hired at the gas station in my neighborhood, which is very predominantly black, real bad ghetto neighborhood.
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:06.400
I couldn't get I couldn't get hired there.
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.160
And then, you know, I was out of options.
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:11.599
I didn't know what else to do.
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:16.559
And my friend, my boy Mike, my best friend Mike, he's like, hey, you want to wash the dishes?
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:18.799
I was like, Yeah, I'll do anything, man.
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:22.319
And then I showed up, Steve, he even asked me, do I got a record?
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:23.519
He asked me nothing.
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:27.599
Later I found out how many, how many scumbags work in the restaurant.
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:29.440
But um, he gave me a chance, man.
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.920
He gave me a chance to work there, and he gave me a chance to learn.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:36.720
And uh that's all I needed, man.
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.400
That's all I needed, was just one chance to to learn, and I'll work hard.
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:41.039
You know what I mean?
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.079
I was that workhorse, I'd work on my days off.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.319
If they somebody called out, I'd do it.
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:48.640
And Steve Brewer, he gave me a chance, man.
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:55.599
And he changed my life because if I wouldn't have gotten that job that later later I became a chef at the restaurant, I don't know.
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.039
I don't know what I'd be doing, man.
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:01.599
I'd be working, you know, doing construction, I wouldn't uh my path would have been different.
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.039
So there's a few people, Steve Brewer, you know, and I think of them because I was still a young man.
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.839
Like now I still have friends that I look and I learn from and people that I meet and I still learn from them.
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:17.839
But at the time that pivoted my life was those those people.
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.279
What do you want people to say about you when you're not in the room?
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:32.960
I hope that I hope they say, hey, let's uh oh, can't wait for Emilio to get here, or it'll be better once Milio's here, he'll know what to do, he'll make things better, he'll he'll make us laugh, he'll help us with this.
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.319
Or I hope they, you know, I hope they I hope they say good stuff about me, man.
00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:43.119
Because like I don't think I've wronged a lot of people, at least at least this decade.
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:45.279
I don't think I've wronged a lot of people.
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.240
Um I get upset.
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:54.880
You know, I make mean jokes sometimes, but I think for the most part, I hope that they look forward to seeing me.
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.359
And they trust me, and then hey, he'll it'll be alright when he's here.
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:00.799
He's a good guy.
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:02.079
That's all, man.
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:03.200
He's alright.
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.759
What's the strangest compliment you've ever gotten?
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.079
I get a lot of I get a lot of compliments on my body.
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:11.759
Not that I'm like shredded.
00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:13.279
I mean, how do I look?
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:15.200
How do you feel like I look?
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.279
I've been working out, I've been lifting weights since March.
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.240
I've been working out, I've been working out pretty decently since March, April time frame.
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:25.039
And lately I've been eating, eating a little better.
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:26.400
So I'm locked in.
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.319
I'm trying to look good, but I'm big.
00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:29.279
I'm I'm naturally big.
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.200
So a lot of people they like, uh I heard somebody told me today, like, you're you're big, man.
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:34.000
You're huge.
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:35.519
You ever you ever do this?
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.359
But the thing about being big, being big is cool, right?
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:40.799
It feels great.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.839
But they want you for big guy things, right?
00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:46.000
Hey, who's gonna pull this?
00:30:46.160 --> 00:30:46.799
You know what I mean?
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:50.240
So that's the thing, and I've worked, I've worked construction, right?
00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:54.079
I had to sling uh sling the cement bags around, sandbags around.
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:55.599
In the Marines, we had sledgehammers.
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:58.880
Hey, two who's like in the Marines, they trick you, right?
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.559
Well, it's just like in your in your squad, right?
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:01.519
It's kind of a joke.
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.599
And whenever there's something shitty to do, right?
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:08.400
Somebody has to carry an extra cratering charge or a uh 240, which is a machine gun.
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:13.119
In the Marines, they'll say, Hey, who's the baddest motherfucker in here?
00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:14.400
Hey, right here.
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.279
And a bunch of guys like, hey, right here, yeah, right here, what's up?
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:20.640
Alright, you gotta carry the hey, hop on the thing.
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:21.200
You know what I mean?
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.400
So it's like, oh man, now I gotta now I gotta carry extra stuff.
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:25.920
But a lot of times everybody's motivated.
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:31.359
They're like, hey, well, you carry it for this much, then I'll carry it, and you know, everybody helps each other out, but that's like a funny thing.
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:32.799
But so that's the thing about being big.
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.240
It's like when you're big, they just want you for big shit because they want you to work.
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:40.240
And I've done all that stuff, and I'd rather be podcasting.
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.400
So yeah, I have a pretty big uh body.
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:46.799
Dece, pretty decent butt-sized body.
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:51.759
Is there something you were sure you figured out by now but still haven't?
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:57.279
When I was 15 years old, when I was 15 years old, I love Kung Fu, I love Jackie Chan movies.
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:03.920
When I was 15 years old, I told my mom, I said, Mom, I'm halfway through my life and I don't even know karate yet.
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.359
And she just busted out laughing in my face because I was 15.
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:14.720
So I still don't know karate, which I thought, you know, be doing Jackie Chan movies was that's what you needed to do.
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.359
Um I I've learned how to box, I learned how to roll, do some jujitsu.
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:25.519
I've done jujitsu civilian side, and I did a lot of McMahon Marine Corps side, and then that's it.
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:35.519
I always wanna I would like to do some more training, but um, first of all, it's$200 right here in my in the ocean side, it's$200 to do jujitsu a month.
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.000
Show up to an empty room, they're gonna thrash you a little bit.
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.039
Hey, get out of here,$200 a month.
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:43.839
So I'll probably do it a little later.
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:48.559
So yeah, something I was I thought I was gonna know is karate and kung fu, but nah.
00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:49.440
Rapid fire.
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.480
Let's do rapid fire.
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:52.240
Rapid fire, and we'll close out.
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.000
Coffee or energy drinks?
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:55.599
Coffee or energy drink.
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:56.799
I'm a coffee.
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:58.000
I'm a coffee boy.
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:05.759
I would be I'd be in the Marines, and you know, we'd be on deployments or field ops, and I always have like a little bag with a jet boyle coffee creamer.
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.599
Gotta I'm a coffee boy.
00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:08.400
Alright.
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:12.000
But lately, so I've been I've been coffee.
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.240
I have lately I've been drinking energy drinks.
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:22.480
I would say in the last month, I've had energy drinks, but before that, I haven't had an energy drink since 2019.
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:25.599
So I'm mainly a coffee guy.
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:27.359
Theater or couch?
00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:28.880
Couch.
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.519
Because I like I like having things my way.
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:37.039
And then if you have a okay, we're all we're probably all adults here.
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:45.920
If you have a friend, a partner with you on the couch, it's if it's better, it's more freeing than theater.
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:52.160
Theater, for example, if I'm on a date at a theater, my partner cannot say, you can't talk.
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.000
We'll laugh together, we'll look at each other, nod.
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:55.759
No talking, no talking.
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:58.240
This is this is my this is what I love.
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.720
But at home, it could be more personal.
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:02.960
Best condiment, no debate.
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:04.640
Best condiment, no debate.
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:05.200
On what?
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:06.079
On what?
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:08.400
Best condiment, no debate.
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.760
Okay, listen.
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:12.639
On a hot dog, I'm a chili dog kind of guy.
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:18.639
One of my one of my things in life is that not enough places offer chili dogs.
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:23.920
So if we're talking hot dogs, I'm a chili, chili cheese, onion kind of guy.
00:34:24.159 --> 00:34:27.519
Um, best condiment, it depends on what.
00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:35.519
For a long time I didn't eat ketchup because I was like, no, ketchup's beneath me, whatever it is, but I'll put ketchup on my home fries and eggs.
00:34:35.920 --> 00:34:37.840
Um, I love a brown mustard, right?
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:39.920
A brown mustard and sauerkraut on a hot dog.
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.280
I think I want to live in a world where we can all have all the condiments we want.
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:44.239
That's the world I want.
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:45.440
I don't need the the best one.
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:47.519
No offense to your question, but best condiment.
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.159
I like I like to have I like to enjoy my food, whatever it is.
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:55.280
One horse, one horse-sized duck or one hundred duck-sized horses.
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:02.000
Okay, I think right now it would come down to a a battle, and I'm thinking fist fight, right?
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:03.760
Like in the in the fight of to the death.
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:10.639
Would I rather fight a uh uh one horse size duck or one hundred duck-sized horses?
00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:12.400
The answer is one.
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.760
Because uh stamina, right?
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:17.039
You have to think your stamina, right?
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:20.079
You you stomp out and you kill 20, right?
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:25.599
Realistically, you stomp out 20 duck-sized horses, you have 70, you know, 70, 80 to go.
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:29.360
But this one, this is what's gonna happen.
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:31.360
The horse-sized duck comes at me.
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:34.320
Boom, I wrap around, we connect.
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:35.599
He feels my energy.
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:38.239
I feel his energy, we're bonded for life.
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:43.280
Now I have a giant duck that I can ride on the water in the air.
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.800
That's probably not what you thought was gonna happen, but that's what we do here.
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.639
So for sure, the horse-sized duck.
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:50.480
Best fast food breakfast.
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.639
Listen, live in California.
00:35:55.360 --> 00:36:03.440
To me, a breakfast burrito, any, and you know that's not a fast food, but if I can stop somewhere and grab a breakfast burrito, I'll be happy.
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:06.400
Last thing you Googled, I'll tell you right here.
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:11.039
Um, I had to look up an address for my daughter's birth certificate.
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:14.079
So I had to look up the address she was for the records office.
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:15.519
Window or aisle.
00:36:16.960 --> 00:36:19.920
I get I'm I'm I'm I get pretty claustrophobic.
00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:21.760
So I I like an aisle.
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:24.239
Worst haircut you've ever had.
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:30.000
One time my mom tried to fade me up at the house, left me bald right here, tried to hit me with the marker.
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:32.639
Try to hit me with the marker, she's like, Oh, you know I had to go to school.
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:34.079
I was like an elementary.
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:38.480
Try to marker me up right here with the Sharpie, put a hat on, send me to school.
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:40.320
Hey, no hats allowed.
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:47.519
Pineapple on pizza, yeah, I'm very pro pro everything on food.
00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:59.280
So if it's if you're doing pineapple on pizza, you know, but it's like realistically, pineapple on pizza is only controversial because the internet's telling you it is.
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.599
If you have a pineapple on pizza, it's delicious.
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:03.599
If you have this kind of pizza, it's delicious.
00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:06.000
So it's a it's an unnecessary hate.
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:09.519
So if you want to try making a pizza, and it's like, hey, you know what?
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:20.719
I'm gonna make a pizza with uh alright, if I had to make something crazy, I'm gonna make uh bacon, I'm gonna put some bacon, uh, some peanut butter and some banana on it.
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:21.440
It's gonna be crazy.
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:22.000
Would you try it?
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:22.880
Yeah, I will try it.
00:37:23.039 --> 00:37:24.320
Yeah, I'll have a slice.
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:29.360
Send it over here because I like the mad scientist take to food.
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.079
So for me, it's pineapple on pizza.
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:33.280
That doesn't even sound crazy.
00:37:33.519 --> 00:37:36.159
Favorite movie, m favorite movie villain?
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:38.000
I have a list.
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.800
Hannibal Lecter, Bill the Butcher, Megatron.
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.079
Cereal before or after milk.
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:52.800
I do cereal first because of the uh buoyancy of the I don't like the buoyancy, right?
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:57.760
Because you do milk, then the buoyancy of the cereal, less cereal.
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.719
Regardless, I mean the the the milk's gonna make it flow and then sink in, whatever.
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:04.000
Karaoke song?
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:06.000
Probably uh pay me a birmingham.
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:07.840
Pay me a birmingham.
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.480
Best holiday, worst holiday.
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:20.559
I think um I I best holiday, worst holiday.
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:24.400
Halloween's pretty sick.
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:29.599
Halloween's the only one Halloween and Christmas are the ones that change the vibe of the whole month.
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:30.320
You know what I mean?
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:32.880
Everything else is like, oh yeah, that's right, it is President's Day.
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:34.880
Or oh, happy Easter, right?
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.239
But Halloween and Christmas are the ones that change the vibe for the month.
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.880
Halloween, super dark, slutty, love it.
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:44.880
Christmas, pure, jolly, also good.
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:46.559
Where's holidays?
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:49.519
Just like the little ones that don't give me a day off.
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.199
They're like, they're a holiday, but you gotta work.
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:52.159
Yeah, whatever.
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:53.840
One cuisine forever?
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:55.519
Fuck, bro.
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.360
One cuisine forever.
00:38:58.639 --> 00:38:59.280
Listen.
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:01.599
I'm a Mexican.
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:04.719
Listen, I'm Mexican, my mother's my mother's Mexican.
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:06.559
I grew up on Mexican food.
00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:12.480
I love I love Mediterranean food.
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:14.159
I love Greek food.
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:18.559
So, and and you know, it's pretty healthy for you.
00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:20.079
It's a lot of good stuff.
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.239
I do love Greek food.
00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:25.599
Scariest movie you've ever seen.
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:27.519
Insidious.
00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:31.360
And but that's because my Mexican mother, she told me, hey, don't be messing around with no spirits.
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:34.400
Don't be messing around with no Ouija board, no stuff like that in my house.
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:36.719
Hey, this stuff is this stuff can happen like this.
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:38.559
This stuff, you know, my mom's from the old country.
00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:42.559
My mom's in Mexico, she's she knows about witchcraft and demons and that.
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:44.320
She says, hey, don't do this in my house.
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:45.440
I don't like this, I don't like this.
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:49.039
This has happened, this has happened, this can happen, this can happen.
00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.159
Spirits on your body in the house, this and that.
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:53.760
And guess what happens in Insidious?
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:57.679
Everything my mom said happened in Insidious, and it was scary.
00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:58.639
That's why.
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.800
That's why I think personally, Insidious is a pretty scary movie.
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:16.880
And then you can't, because you know, for example, a Jeepers creepers, I can I can make a plan, outrun him, outlast him, trap him, get away, survive the night, Jeepers Creepers, right?
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:20.880
A Chucky Doll, a uh fight him, something, whatever.
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:26.480
Scream, he comes at me, ooh, an Americana arm bar, arm lock, whatever.
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:28.719
You can't fight the spirits, right?
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:30.320
What are you gonna do in the spirit world?
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:31.599
You gotta have the Lord with you.
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:36.000
So it's a very hard thing to be or to get out of.
00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:38.239
Also, so it's very scary, I think.
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.280
But listen, it's almost an hour episode.
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:43.119
I missed you guys.
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:44.480
I missed doing the podcast.
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:46.000
I'm trying to get back, alright?
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:47.840
I'm trying to be a better podcaster.
00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:50.639
Please, first of all, be a better audience.
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.599
If I'm gonna be a better podcaster, you need to be a better audience.
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:54.719
Email in.
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:55.679
No, I'm just kidding.
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:56.800
Hey, it's all love here.
00:40:56.960 --> 00:40:58.239
It's all love here, right?
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.079
Email in, let me know where you're listening from, and whatever you want to tell me.
00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:04.159
Alright, comment on TikTok.
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:06.800
We'll be back to movies.
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:07.920
We're gonna be back to movies soon.
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:09.760
I'm just we're having so much fun with the questions.
00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:11.360
The algorithm loves questions.
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:14.639
The algorithm, here's the thing, the algorithm loves military.
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:19.440
When I do military questions or military stories, that's what boosts everything up.
00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:23.920
On the week, I'll have a ton of downloads, a ton of likes on the military questions.
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:27.920
So if you have military questions, I'll try to answer.
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:30.480
But we're just having fun.
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:36.400
Stay safe, have some water, enjoy movies, TVs, be good to your family, be good people.
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:37.760
I'm Al V.
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:39.519
This is a Sinoffs podcast.
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:40.880
I'll see you, man.
