[00:01:40] I love watching Netflix sometimes for six, seven straight hours at the time. dancing. It's amazing. And their dance move is great. Cost and mayo, C-O-S-T. Like there would never be a TV show. That's just some like, like if you pitched, like if you went into a Hollywood studio, and believe me, I've been in all of them pitching shows. And you said, you know, I just want to do a show with me and my wife doing like really bad dancing. They would say, what do you, who set up this

[00:03:03] meeting? I would, I don't show up for a podcast. You know, like, James, you are like half an hour late. No, no, no. Sometimes, you know, sometimes when my dog doesn't do things I want or sometimes things that depend on that I want to, sometimes I just look at myself, I'm like, why am I not Italian? You know, I was disappointed that I'm not Italian.

[00:04:20] Now I'm just joking, but.

[00:04:22] Um, all right.

[00:04:25] I'll show you a couple Instagram accounts.

[00:04:27] I really like this one. The co- at all. Would you rather be the coward dying a thousand deaths by paper cut or be the hero and he only can die once. I actually got great person lot. Yeah. Yeah. She's really she really does a good job. So those are two Instagram accounts, but I like I like all the like on TikTok. I like all magician accounts or kids doing parkour. There's like superheroes on TikTok. So next time we do

[00:07:01] this, I'll have some of those that I really it's like it's every song is great on this mashup It's like a perfect mashup, have you tried this one Jay? Yeah, yeah, yeah. SEO.ai. Yeah, I use it to write my podcast music. Yeah, for this episode, can we change the podcast music to open this up to a song that we make on S-U-N-O? I think we could. I wonder if that's any copyright that we have to worry about.

[00:09:41] Who cares? Who do they get to sue us?

[00:09:43] They probably have to sue no.

[00:09:45] Sue them back. Well, counter sue.

[00:09:47] So who cares? that if you have great content, it's still going to rise above the ad nauseam of AI. But that said, go to suno.ai, not sumo, but sumo.ai. And we'll go to the YouTube channel and we'll have all the links to these things in the show notes.

[00:11:00] But go to sumo.ai and make you really wish this commercial worse scratch and sniff. And if you're a sausage person, now get too satisfyingly savory sausage McGriddle, sausage biscuits, or sausage burritos for just $3.33, or mix and match. Price and participation may vary,

[00:14:55] for the Sony Super Walkman, a cassette player

[00:14:58] the size of a cassette case.

[00:15:00] Boy, that looks cool.

[00:15:01] If it only could play more than nine songs,

[00:15:04] it would be like an iPod.

[00:15:05] James, you remember that was lot about the collection of short stories, Jesus Sun by Dennis Johnson, best collection of short stories ever.

[00:16:20] But I have to say, I really, and by the way, I'm just, I'm not mentioning any

[00:16:25] books by X podcast guests.

[00:17:24] acknowledging one's faults and weaknesses. Like a surgeon, one must be willing to cut deeply into the festering source of the psyche, otherwise too much energy is absorbed in denial

[00:17:30] or in ruminating over disappointments. And so the point there is, and I see this in a lot of good

[00:17:36] creators, is that really don't be afraid to tell the story of your worst, most vulnerable moments, the song Grape Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis and it actually has some like weird piano motion in it. Like it's interesting to watch, but I play the air piano and the only one in the audience who laughed was Kamal Ravakant who's been on this podcast many times and he left. You know why it felt because you're not drunk enough?

[00:19:04] No, if I was drunk, I would not have been able to do it

[00:19:06] because it was actually pretty complicated to do. Now get two satisfyingly savory sausage macrittles, sausage biscuits, or sausage burritos for just $333, or mix and match.

In a fast-paced world, every day brings new challenges and new opportunities. At Strayer University, we know a thing or two about getting and staying ahead of change.

[00:20:24] For over 130 years, we've been providing students like you with innovative tools and I think it's called Once Upon a Time in China? Yep, Once Upon a Time in China. Yeah. Because that the main guy that he played, the character is like a famous Chinese Kung Fu master in China. I'm growing up practicing martial arts. So like Wang Fei-Hung is like one of the biggest like sort of like a Kung Fu master figure in Chinese martial arts.

[00:21:43] Alright, I'll watch that. I'll watch that tonight.

[00:21:45] So my favorite, and I didn't know this, it was started by women because they're smaller than often their male attackers. They can't really fight them like a boxer.

[00:23:00] They have to basically know the exact points how to kill people.

[00:23:04] That's how Wing Chun Kung Fu movie, like the Western one, looks kind of like still like a lot of cuts, you know, camera flying everywhere. It can't really see anything clearly, but with like, give man like the color graph of the Kung Fu and the martial arts, you can see everything clearly and clearly everyone in the movie

[00:24:20] knows some sort of martial arts.

[00:24:21] Right, exactly, that's the whole point,

[00:24:23] is that in some martial arts movies,

[00:24:24] you could tell the main actor has no clue what's happening. role he played in Itman. Like, Itman was not his personality. He has a different personality. Like, Itman's very serious, too. He was in John Wick for? Oh, I don't like the John Wick movies. And I know people disagree with me that. I watched the first one. I didn't. I thought it was a little boring, but Donnie Yen was also in Iron Monkey, which was previously, I didn't know he was an Iron Monkey. And that wasn't

[00:25:42] previously my favorite Kung Fu movie.
