again The F1 Movie: 220 MPH Cinema, Legacy, & The Secret History of Voodoo Dolls
The player is loading ...
Are you being told you’re past your prime before you’re even ready to quit? This week on Parallel Frequencies, Just Blane and Coco use the new Apple TV+ blockbuster F1 as a lens to explore legacy, relevance, and the quiet fear of becoming forgettable. Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a veteran driver proving that experience beats raw youth every time—especially when you’re hitting turns at 220 MPH.
We also explore a surprising historical pivot: the true purpose of Voodoo dolls. Far from the Hollywood "hex" stereotype, Courtney Pearl reveals how these dolls served as vital healing records for those denied the right to read and write. From the roaring engines of Silverstone to the "Voodoo" of the deep south, this episode is a masterclass in seeing beneath the surface.
Whether you're a sports freak, a history buff, or just a fan of physical DVDs and Iggy Pop, there’s a seat for you at our table. Remember: People at the bottom compete; people at the top collaborate.

It is Parallel Frequencies. I am Just Blaine.
00:00:02.859 --> 00:00:06.059
That's Coco. And you are the freaks out there.
00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:09.320
And let me tell you, we love the freaks. Am I
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.900
right, Coco? Yeah, of course. And they came in
00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:19.019
strong and hot last night about our Iggy. As
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:21.699
you can see me wearing the Iggy and the Stooges
00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.699
shirt right now. If you're watching this on YouTube.
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.359
But they did. They came in and they were watching
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.019
it and talking about the Coachella. And I'm telling
00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:33.380
you right now, I literally just got a text from
00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:37.899
my buddy, super producer Alex, Jim Rome's producer.
00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:40.579
For those of you out there who listen to sports,
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:44.219
Jim Rome's nationally known, world known. But
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:46.259
he even texted me like, hey, where's this nine
00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:51.000
inch noise set from Coachella? So it's weird
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.600
to me that everybody's talking about Coachella
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.799
because it's not always like this. I never know
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.619
what's happening. Well, they pulled down the
00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:00.740
nine inch noise. Been moved to private. But if
00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:02.939
you want to see these performances, I'm telling
00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:06.040
you right now, you get another chance this weekend.
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.620
Right there on Coachella's official YouTube channel.
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.519
Go watch these performances. Incredible. We did
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.379
centers yesterday. There's lots of good stuff
00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.700
going on. And we did centers on Movie Monday.
00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:21.719
And I love that movie. really cool video come
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.959
up about, and I want to do a little bit more
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.359
deep dive into it. Cause it sounded really interesting,
00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.459
but about the voodoo magic that Annie was doing
00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:31.219
in the sinners movie, you know, we kind of talked
00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:33.760
about her being a witch and having all of this
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.500
knowledge and bringing that to the table when
00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:39.620
she was really the real hero of this movie, I
00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:42.480
think. Um, but I found it really fascinating
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.129
that like what we consider voodoo dolls. That,
00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:48.829
you know, a lot of people think it's a doll that
00:01:48.829 --> 00:01:50.849
you make to look like a person and you stick
00:01:50.849 --> 00:01:53.150
pins in it where you want to harm them. And that's
00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:56.189
kind of the stereotype we've all heard about.
00:01:56.670 --> 00:02:02.230
In fact, it was a healing data record keeping
00:02:02.230 --> 00:02:08.150
strategy. So when a medicine woman or, you know,
00:02:08.150 --> 00:02:11.849
medicine man who had knowledge of healing and
00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:16.360
herbs and remedies. They would come to him or
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.020
her and they would create a doll to look like
00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:22.099
the patient. And, you know, this was like during
00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.280
slavery times, they didn't know how to read and
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.680
write. So in order to keep track of what they
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.560
had treated, like they come in for a headache
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.020
or something, they would stick a pin in the head.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.879
Make a doll look like them and then stick a pin
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.939
in the head and then give them the remedy or
00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:38.460
treatment and then keep the doll on their shelf
00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.719
so that the next time they came in, they were
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.979
like, oh, I noticed we treated you for a headache
00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.900
last time you were here. How is that going? Did
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:48.419
it help? And it was just their record keeping
00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.120
strategies. I mean, it makes sense when you really
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.020
think about it. That's how they kept track of
00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:55.180
who they treated, what they treated, what they
00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:57.830
gave them. I mean, this is just fascinating.
00:02:58.449 --> 00:03:01.009
So what happened after that? People took that
00:03:01.009 --> 00:03:04.270
and ran with it and said, it never stopped. My
00:03:04.270 --> 00:03:07.169
head never stopped hurting and only continued.
00:03:07.289 --> 00:03:10.169
And they saw the pin in the head. Yeah. I'm going
00:03:10.169 --> 00:03:12.449
to go down a rabbit hole here of voodoo dolls.
00:03:12.629 --> 00:03:16.610
And what we're actually doing with them. And
00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:20.669
it really unfair to people who were just doing
00:03:20.669 --> 00:03:26.270
healing work. Yeah. You know what? I got a doll
00:03:26.270 --> 00:03:29.449
right here that's in a box. I've been kind of
00:03:29.449 --> 00:03:31.349
waiting to open it. Lindsay always gets me these
00:03:31.349 --> 00:03:34.389
little knickknacks, right? These fun stuff. And
00:03:34.389 --> 00:03:38.210
here's a Terrifier, an Art the Clown, a random,
00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:41.150
you know, it's one of these random. Which one
00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:42.969
would we want to get out of this if we open this?
00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:46.569
I like the one that's dancing. I like this one
00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:48.430
here with the sunglasses. Yeah, the dancing.
00:03:48.530 --> 00:03:51.689
Oh, I like the dancing one too. I think we should
00:03:51.689 --> 00:03:53.629
open this right now since we're talking about
00:03:53.629 --> 00:03:55.979
dolls. All right, let's do it. Let me see. Let's
00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:59.620
see which one we get in here. But I love this
00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:01.759
kind of stuff, and she always gets me. I mean,
00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:04.080
half the stuff you ever see behind me is from
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.199
her. All the game stuff, all the Funko Pops,
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.199
maybe not the baseball cards. She's not too crazy
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.879
about buying me baseball cards. But anything
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.520
else, though, absolutely. So let's see which
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.000
one we get in here. And I'm a sucker for the
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.040
random stuff, like the not knowing what you're
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.800
going to get, the mystery boxes. Oh, my gosh.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.180
It's all about the dopamine hit, baby. Oh, my
00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:31.600
gosh. And look how long this damn bag is. Now,
00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:35.360
let me reach down in here and see what we got.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.959
Oh, you're kidding me. Which one did I say I
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.860
wanted? Sunglasses. Ow! I got him. Look at that.
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:47.759
Look at him. Arthur Clem with his sunflower sunglasses.
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.379
We're going to put him right back here with the
00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:52.139
labubu. I hope they don't get to fight, and that'd
00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:54.870
be wild. I love those kinds of things. When the
00:04:54.870 --> 00:04:58.449
lights turn off and you're asleep. Yeah. I saw
00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:00.269
that you just got a prize yesterday, too. You
00:05:00.269 --> 00:05:02.410
posted it on social media. It kind of blew up.
00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:05.610
Yeah. A brand new DVD. Bring it with me here.
00:05:05.709 --> 00:05:07.310
You're going to have to go check out Practically
00:05:07.310 --> 00:05:10.689
Magic podcast on Instagram. That's where I posted
00:05:10.689 --> 00:05:14.790
it. But I got my DVD of the movie Toys we talked
00:05:14.790 --> 00:05:17.310
about last week was for Wednesday. I can't wait
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:20.689
to show my kids. You've got a physical copy of
00:05:20.689 --> 00:05:23.420
this movie now. You're going to have to bring
00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:25.939
it to the studio tomorrow because we want to
00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:29.079
see that on film and make sure we're not being
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.980
Mandela'd or whatever it is or corporate erased.
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.180
I got to see this. I mean, I know I saw you holding
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:38.779
it. That could be AI generated, though. I don't
00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:42.660
know. Yeah. Maybe if I had just left it in its
00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:45.920
plastic, I could have saved it for years. Maybe
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.819
it would be worth something. But I really want
00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:51.649
my kids to see it. So I opened it. Did you watch
00:05:51.649 --> 00:05:54.089
it with them? Did they watch toys? Not yet. No,
00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:56.949
man. We're going to save it for our movie from
00:05:56.949 --> 00:06:00.350
our childhood Sunday is our family tradition.
00:06:00.689 --> 00:06:02.610
I love that. We should start talking about that
00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:04.490
because we do the same thing in my house. We
00:06:04.490 --> 00:06:08.389
just recently watched Labyrinth. I mean, that's
00:06:08.389 --> 00:06:10.870
a family movie right there. That's a banger,
00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:15.410
too. That movie's still a banger. Today, we're
00:06:15.410 --> 00:06:19.060
not doing Tube Tuesday. But we're doing, what
00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:22.939
is it, Top Tier Tuesday? Top Tier Tuesday. It
00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:26.579
was going to be that or Trophy Tuesday. I wanted
00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:30.160
some award winners, award -nominated movies we
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.180
can fit into our schedule here. And today's has
00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:39.759
got to be the one movie that was nominated that
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.319
probably is the only movie that had your heart
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.079
racing like it had a turbo button. And we're
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:51.720
talking about... Apple TV Plus' F1, the movie,
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.279
with Brad Pitt, directed by Joseph Kaczynski.
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.540
But this movie is adrenaline, excitement, controlled
00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:08.459
chaos, is what F1 racing appears to be. And I
00:07:08.459 --> 00:07:11.579
got to tell you that I didn't know all of this
00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:14.220
stuff about F1 going in to watching this movie.
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.819
I didn't know all these crazy, The technology
00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:20.339
behind the scenes that they're using and they're
00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:23.560
driving these cars at 220 miles an hour. Like,
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.240
it's insane. It's intense. To me, the money that's
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.360
invested into this sport, I mean, I don't know
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.480
the comparison to other sports. And like I've
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.459
said before on the podcast, I'm not much of a
00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:37.079
sports person. So you forgive me if I don't know
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.399
all of the terminology and everything that goes
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.319
into it and team names and goal versus touchdown.
00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:48.000
I don't really know. Racing is one of the things
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.220
I probably do watch the most because I grew up
00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:56.220
in Indiana. Okay. Indianapolis. So what am I
00:07:56.220 --> 00:08:00.639
excited for at the end of May? Indy 500. Yeah.
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.139
Have you been? I watch it every year. Have you
00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:06.740
been? I have been to the track. Okay. My parents
00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:10.379
have been to the race a few times when we lived
00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:16.259
there. Doesn't sound super fun. If you like being
00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:24.699
hot, crowds, everybody getting drunk, the caravans
00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:27.399
that all park in the center field that stay there
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.779
for the race. It's kind of like having concerts
00:08:29.779 --> 00:08:32.580
and keggers and music festival all happening
00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:35.360
while this really loud race is going on around
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.580
you. So, I mean, it can be intense from what
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.539
I hear. I've always been a fan of racing movies,
00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:43.919
always since Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise.
00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:47.980
Oh, yeah. I even worked for NASCAR at one point.
00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.860
I've done a lot of stuff in my career. I worked
00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:54.080
the NASCAR races for a while. I watched it growing
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399
up, and I actually did go to some races. I've
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.580
been to Talladega. Diehard 500. I'm talking about
00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:03.879
110 degrees. Loudest thing you could ever hear,
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:09.580
and you leave there, and your lungs are filled
00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:14.200
with smoke. You've got tar up. You've got rubber
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.120
up. Oh, man. It's a hell of an experience. It's
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:23.200
fun. But these F1 races, man, I've watched a
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.299
lot. It's a higher level, I think. I mean, no
00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:29.279
offense to NASCAR, but being an Indy 500 and
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.779
an IndyCar fanatic in that realm, I'm kind of
00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:37.779
like, hmm. nascar it's okay oh we're about to
00:09:37.779 --> 00:09:39.279
start some controversy this is gonna be the most
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.340
controversial segment from parallel frequencies
00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.940
ever when you just said that nascar does not
00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:50.179
live up to indycar yeah i know there's a lot
00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.720
of people that would disagree with that and that's
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.240
okay i don't i don't actually mind being disagreed
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.399
with i'm like I'm just more of an IndyCar person
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.340
myself. Now, I was super excited for this F1
00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:03.899
movie when I heard about it because I know Apple
00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:05.600
and I know they're not going to half -ass anything
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.759
and I know that Apple's going to use probably
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.799
the top -of -the -line technology to make the
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.460
movies happen. And I remember putting this movie
00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:20.059
on and I was in the bed or something watching
00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:24.940
it on a little TV. Five minutes in, I'm like,
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.139
no, no, no, no, no. I hit stop, and I had to
00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:30.940
go out and watch it in the theater, in my little
00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.419
home theater, you know? And I had to have the
00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:36.580
surround sound. I had to have the big screen.
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.100
I'm upset that I did not see this movie in an
00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:43.059
actual theater because I feel like it's one of
00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:44.879
these that actually brings the theater experience
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:49.840
to you. Like, this is what theaters was made
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.710
for. They were made for movies like this. But
00:10:52.710 --> 00:10:54.590
I don't think you get the same effect watching
00:10:54.590 --> 00:10:56.690
this thing at home. Just like you don't get the
00:10:56.690 --> 00:10:59.789
same effect watching an F1 race at home as in
00:10:59.789 --> 00:11:04.049
person. Oh, for sure. Yeah. What do you think
00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:06.250
from the just very beginning of the movie? I
00:11:06.250 --> 00:11:10.870
was so impressed. I mean, I know generally what
00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:15.950
goes into the teams they put together to race.
00:11:16.309 --> 00:11:21.110
The investment of the... the cars, everything
00:11:21.110 --> 00:11:24.669
that they're doing. But I don't know if I knew
00:11:24.669 --> 00:11:28.389
to this level, I need to have the meeting in
00:11:28.389 --> 00:11:31.190
these high tech. I don't know. It looked like
00:11:31.190 --> 00:11:33.889
a NASA control room and they're all got their
00:11:33.889 --> 00:11:37.289
headsets on. And I'm like, they put so much into
00:11:37.289 --> 00:11:42.309
this, the engineer, everybody is top level expert
00:11:42.309 --> 00:11:45.909
at what they do. So, I mean, You've got to hand
00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:48.990
it to the pit crew, everybody who's involved.
00:11:49.610 --> 00:11:53.169
I think the driver gets a lot of the, you know,
00:11:53.169 --> 00:11:56.590
the rock star status for it. But everybody on
00:11:56.590 --> 00:12:01.490
the team that works in these type of races deserves
00:12:01.490 --> 00:12:06.470
all the credit. And we see how much of a rock
00:12:06.470 --> 00:12:09.429
star these guys are. Joshua Pierce in the movie,
00:12:09.490 --> 00:12:14.440
played by Damson Idris. you see how all these
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:20.340
drivers are. They are rock stars and highly recognized
00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:23.919
in that world. They're making tons of money,
00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:26.200
as they should. I mean, look what they're doing.
00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:32.179
You're one crash away from it, ending it, being
00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:35.720
done. Yeah. And that's... Yeah, it's pretty scary.
00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:38.919
You're living on the edge. And let's talk about
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.779
the movie, though, because I mentioned Days of
00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:45.429
Thunder. and other racing movies but this is
00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:47.490
not just a racing movie let's not get it twisted
00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:51.809
because yeah it's more about relevance legacy
00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:57.129
ego and that quiet fear of becoming forgettable
00:12:57.129 --> 00:13:02.570
formula one it's not just speed you know they
00:13:02.570 --> 00:13:05.149
had politics involved there's money there was
00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:10.259
brands pretending to be people and We're watching
00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:12.120
this movie. We see these cars going 200 miles
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.759
an hour and all that. But underneath it, we're
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.960
watching people try not to crash their identity.
00:13:17.539 --> 00:13:22.360
Brad Pitt, playing Sonny Hayes, pulls up to the
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.320
scene looking like a real -life Hollywood Benjamin
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.879
Button, might I add. I think he's aging backwards
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:33.240
in real life. I really do. But he's not some
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.899
young prodigy. He's a veteran. The dude who's
00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:38.940
been around long enough to know every trick and
00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:43.259
every mistake. And I love how they put him in
00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:46.379
this movie as being somebody who's kind of been
00:13:46.379 --> 00:13:48.440
there and done that and won all these races.
00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:51.620
But he doesn't come in to F1 and just kick ass
00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:54.440
because that's unrealistic. There's no way that
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.500
you could come off of these dirt tracks and go
00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:59.100
in there in an F1 race and just blow them out.
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.360
No way. No way. But he gets it done. And I think
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.940
he... Is one of these people that we see out
00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.240
in real world, too. And it's not just celebrities
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.600
or athletes, but lots of people. And it's when
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.659
the world's trying to tell you that you need
00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:18.279
to retire before you're ready. We're seeing it
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.340
with LeBron James out there right now. Real life
00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:23.480
athlete, 41 years old. And people thought he
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:25.179
should have retired a couple of years ago. And
00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:28.940
the guy's still putting up buckets. And I'm 42.
00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:33.259
I'll just say it. And I'm thinking, man, I was
00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:35.139
good to get out of bed this morning. And he's
00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:36.860
out here putting up a triple -double? Let's go.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.039
Don't try to tell people they're done before
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:43.019
they know it. And I think that's a huge theme
00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:45.620
in this movie. What are you thinking, Coco? I
00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:48.120
think the themes of what it means to be on a
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:53.720
team, too. I mean, you've got young. Joshua Pierce,
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.340
you know, up and coming, trying to make his name
00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:58.659
in this business, trying to be like, it's my
00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:01.720
turn to make a name for myself to be, to create
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:06.100
my legacy and then feel threatened by Sonny Hayes
00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:08.360
coming in and being like, I'm going to change
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.320
up what we're doing. Our strategies are going
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.879
to be different. And then you've got the strategies
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.779
themselves that they're using. I mean, Sonny
00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:18.200
Hayes is a little bit of a daredevil. I mean,
00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:21.919
he's ready to like push the limits and say, uh,
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.440
You know, I'm going to ignore some of these other
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:31.220
maybe important elements of safety. I heard the
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:36.539
phrase slow is smooth and smooth is fast. So,
00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:40.080
I mean, the strategy of like, do we really stop
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.799
and make sure we pay attention to the particulars
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.399
and make sure that those are all right and that
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.460
we're really working together as a team? And
00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:53.639
yeah. And then your teammates being their safety
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.360
is on your shoulders too. So he learns kind of
00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.360
a valuable lesson on what is it going to mean
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.340
to work together on this? We're on the same team,
00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:06.440
but they're acting like rivals. Yeah. And they're
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:07.919
acting like they're competing with each other.
00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:10.559
One, you know, wanting to make a name for himself
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.299
and the other wanting to prove that he still
00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:15.759
has what it takes, that he's not irrelevant and
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.820
too old for this. So they're like, got to figure
00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:23.220
this out and their lives are at stake as we find
00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:26.440
out i mean i love um sarah niles is in this bernadette
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:31.360
um playing joshua's mother we remember her from
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.200
ted lasso yes shout out ted lasso uh and she
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.379
does this i think the scenes with her are my
00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:40.580
favorites i mean that's uh you know aside from
00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:42.379
the racing that's really exciting and obviously
00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:44.799
really fun to watch but i love the scenes where
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.419
she is stepping forward to be like i'm a mother
00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:51.649
and this is my son And she has that conversation
00:16:51.649 --> 00:16:56.570
with Sonny Brad Pitt. And that brings up the
00:16:56.570 --> 00:17:01.350
real heart and emotion and what's going on beyond
00:17:01.350 --> 00:17:06.710
and underneath all of these kind of egoic things
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:09.589
that are expensive but don't actually matter
00:17:09.589 --> 00:17:12.230
in the large scheme of life. And it brings that
00:17:12.230 --> 00:17:15.490
kind of part, that element to it, I guess. Let's
00:17:15.490 --> 00:17:18.190
talk about the cinematography, the visuals. You
00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:21.250
said it, like, sure, these races, they were fun
00:17:21.250 --> 00:17:24.650
to watch, but it's not because they're just showing
00:17:24.650 --> 00:17:28.190
racing. They put us in the cockpit here. The
00:17:28.190 --> 00:17:30.069
camera angles are so tight. The special effects
00:17:30.069 --> 00:17:33.069
were fantastic. They were, and the camera angles,
00:17:33.210 --> 00:17:36.829
they were so tight that you, I swear you could
00:17:36.829 --> 00:17:39.769
feel the G -force in your chest watching this.
00:17:40.150 --> 00:17:43.349
And like I said, I had to go put it in the theater.
00:17:43.829 --> 00:17:46.769
And listen to it in Dolby Atmos because the sound
00:17:46.769 --> 00:17:49.849
design, you can hear the engines roaring in the
00:17:49.849 --> 00:17:56.549
background. And it really gave the film its heartbeat.
00:17:57.170 --> 00:18:00.269
The sound design made this movie. I'll say that.
00:18:00.349 --> 00:18:03.869
It really did. And this is one of those movies
00:18:03.869 --> 00:18:06.529
that you watch and your body's reacting before
00:18:06.529 --> 00:18:08.970
your brain does. But that's what F1 really would
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:13.000
be for us, for us average people, you know. we
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.660
wouldn't be able to keep up with the turns and
00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:19.019
going 200 miles an hour. You know, we're watching
00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:22.019
this at home, holding our breath in every corner.
00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:28.140
And that's just a true testament to Apple for
00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:31.440
going the extra mile and going to the extremes
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.680
to do this. They put Brad Pitt in real F1 cars,
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.740
in real F1 races, without other people even knowing
00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:42.019
it. And that's crazy to me, too. He was running
00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:45.200
real laps at some at some points to figure this
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.579
out. And that's wow. That's incredible. Yeah.
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.400
I mean, actors in general having to put themselves
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.980
through so many different things for roles just
00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:57.740
to be like, I got to learn to play the drums
00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:59.880
and I got to learn to play the drums well enough
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.259
to make the audience believe I've been playing
00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:05.079
the drums my whole life. Or now I'm in an F1
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.299
movie. I got to figure out how to Formula One
00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:11.039
race these cars and. You know what's wild about
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.720
that is I'll tell you the reason for why it happens
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.519
is when you're auditioning for roles and you're
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.200
out there in Hollywood and you're going to audition
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.579
after audition after audition, you are taught
00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:28.680
to never say, nope, I don't know how to do that.
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.619
It doesn't matter what it is. Can you speak Russian?
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.819
Yep, absolutely. Can you ride a motorcycle? Absolutely.
00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:37.799
Can you ride a horse? Yep. And it doesn't matter
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.859
if you've never even. done any of these things
00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:42.740
you you never said you can't do it all gotta
00:19:42.740 --> 00:19:44.359
be able to do it all and then if you get cast
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.099
in that role if you can you drive an f1 car absolutely
00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:52.039
let's go brad pitt never been in an f1 car you
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.299
know yeah but he learned it but that's that's
00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:58.519
absolutely a uh just saying something uh about
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:00.779
the actors like you said and let's not forget
00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:03.819
brad pitt could have really overshadowed everybody
00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:07.319
in this movie but you got harvey air barton playing
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.210
ruben And I think he balances this out. You got
00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:15.910
Carrie Condon playing Kate McKenna. And that's
00:20:15.910 --> 00:20:18.890
a powerhouse right there, too. So he could have
00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:22.430
been the elephant doing laps around the track.
00:20:23.210 --> 00:20:26.710
But the balance of the other actors in the movie
00:20:26.710 --> 00:20:31.150
really helped bring the level of stardom down.
00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:33.309
And I don't mean that in a bad way. I just mean
00:20:33.309 --> 00:20:37.039
it didn't let him. chew up scenery and, and,
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.519
and be this, this, this aura on the, on the,
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.019
in the scene, you know, of course he did, but
00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:46.099
they held their own. He was able to fit the,
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:51.339
fit his ego in the door as an actor and be able
00:20:51.339 --> 00:20:54.680
to be generous with the other actors and scenes
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:59.400
and, um, and let them shine in their parts too.
00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:02.329
One of my favorite scenes. Again, this is aside
00:21:02.329 --> 00:21:04.569
from the racing, which was obviously really exciting
00:21:04.569 --> 00:21:09.089
to watch. But the scene where they're, are they
00:21:09.089 --> 00:21:11.829
playing poker? I think that's poker. See, this
00:21:11.829 --> 00:21:17.509
is how little I know about. But she becomes,
00:21:17.990 --> 00:21:24.500
you know. Kate, she becomes like this therapist
00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:28.880
or this emotional connection person. She's supposed
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.539
to be the engineer. She's supposed to be working
00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:33.559
on the car. And she's like, I got to get these
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.759
two to work together. If we don't have this team,
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.279
we have nothing. It doesn't matter what we're
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.200
trying to do here. These two have to figure this
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:44.859
out. And she becomes the one who's like, I'm
00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:48.259
going to. raised to a higher emotional intelligence,
00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:51.599
used some EQ, and she figures out how to start
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.500
asking the right questions and how to start getting
00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:57.400
them to bond while sitting at a table together.
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.380
And I loved that scene so much. And Brad Pitt
00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:06.059
plays Sonny like a man who knows exactly who
00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:08.440
he is and doesn't need you to agree with him.
00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:12.700
And I think that this was probably an easy role
00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:14.400
for Brad Pitt to play because that's probably
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.579
where he is. in real life at this point. It's
00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:21.519
like a calm arrogance because he earned it. It's
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.200
not wild, not flashy, but dangerous in a quiet
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.640
way. You ever notice how the loudest people are
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.880
usually the ones not doing a damn thing? He's
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.539
not really loud in this, and he's doing a lot
00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:33.700
behind the scenes. He's doing a lot on the track.
00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:36.660
He's not winning races. He's not the star, but
00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:39.299
he's making a lot happen when they finally do
00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:41.480
decide to become a team, and that's real life.
00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:45.609
That's kind of how it works. When you're working
00:22:45.609 --> 00:22:47.589
together, you will get further. I've said it
00:22:47.589 --> 00:22:50.170
before. People at the bottom compete and people
00:22:50.170 --> 00:22:53.630
at the top collaborate. And I truly believe that.
00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:59.190
When did you first hear me say that? Years ago?
00:22:59.450 --> 00:23:03.750
Probably the first time I met you at a networking
00:23:03.750 --> 00:23:07.589
meeting. We're in the community, people getting
00:23:07.589 --> 00:23:11.259
together who are all starting new projects. new
00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:13.779
businesses, new, you know, whatever we were trying
00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:17.579
to do. And that was the kind of community I wanted
00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:20.220
to be a part of is, you know, we're all trying
00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:23.599
to make something of ourselves. We all have a
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.059
goal in mind. We all have something that, yeah,
00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:28.319
we'd like to maybe make money doing what we love
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.940
to do instead of working for somebody else and
00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:35.140
making sure they make all of our money. We were,
00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:37.380
you know, all sitting there with the same values
00:23:37.380 --> 00:23:40.279
in mind. And we were like, I don't want to compete.
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.220
If somebody else does the exact same work that
00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:44.519
I do, we're still different enough that there's
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.200
enough for everybody. There's enough. If somebody
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.480
else had another podcast network that they were
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.299
starting to, there's enough for everybody. There's
00:23:53.299 --> 00:23:56.019
enough for everybody. And there's no reason to,
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.980
um, to think that we have to best each other.
00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.839
You don't have to battle. You can come together
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.240
and you can help one another help one another.
00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:09.900
And that's really what I could see this being
00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:14.279
on a whole grander level with this partnership
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:19.059
between F1 and Apple. Because F1, as a sport,
00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:21.460
it's been trying to break into the American culture
00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:25.839
for a long time. NASCAR has been the dominant
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.720
American racing. movie to me, it helped show
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.039
more diversity, more accessibility, more storytelling.
00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:38.180
Like, come on, like what, this is really what's
00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:41.039
going on behind the scenes in F1. Like, I want
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:43.299
to be a part of that, you know? And, and I think
00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:49.180
Apple did a really good job at making this movie
00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:54.299
show real inclusion or were they just better
00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:57.920
at marketing? You know, like which way? I think
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.640
they did a great job of the inclusion, but there
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.940
will be people that say, oh, this was just a
00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:04.759
marketing stunt. They put this movie out just
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.460
to, you know, whatever. But I don't think so.
00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:11.200
I think we see it. I think we do get the easier,
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.480
easier to access. We get to see more diversity,
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.400
you know, and I love that. What do you think
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.500
about that? Because I know you do watch racing.
00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:23.400
Are you going to watch F1 races on Apple now?
00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:25.839
Have you checked any out yet? I haven't, but
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.960
that would be something that I would get into
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.900
if I had the time. Sit down with my kids and
00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:33.119
as a family, this is what we're going to do together.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.339
We're going to get snacks and we're going to
00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:39.740
pick our drivers. That's what my kids love to
00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:44.140
do for the Indy 500 every year. We don't follow
00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:46.460
these drivers enough to know them really well,
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.460
but we remember when they come back every year,
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.119
we're like, oh, Scott Dixon, that's my guy. There
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:59.250
you go. We got, what's his name? Power. Will
00:25:59.250 --> 00:26:01.789
Power. Yeah. I'll never remember that. Look at
00:26:01.789 --> 00:26:04.009
you. I'll never forget that. But yeah, we pick
00:26:04.009 --> 00:26:05.890
our drivers and when then we're really cheering
00:26:05.890 --> 00:26:08.089
for somebody for the whole race. And then you
00:26:08.089 --> 00:26:11.349
can see the disappointment when they crash or
00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:13.970
they're out of the race for some reason or they,
00:26:14.109 --> 00:26:18.130
you know, have an extra slow pit stop. We care
00:26:18.130 --> 00:26:21.640
and we're invested and we're involved. And we
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.960
get more like that than we do with probably any
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.940
other sport. I don't think we have a personal
00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:30.640
or emotional investment in anything else. I mean,
00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:33.440
we will watch sports, but we'll be like, I don't
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.759
know. The ones with the blue uniforms look like
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.619
they're fun today. I'll cheer for them. You know,
00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:41.019
that's kind of where my family's at. I know the
00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:42.819
freaks are going to come after me for not being
00:26:42.819 --> 00:26:44.880
a sports person, but that's just the way I'm
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.250
at. That's just who I am. That's how it goes.
00:26:47.369 --> 00:26:49.289
That's how it goes. And some of the freaks aren't
00:26:49.289 --> 00:26:50.869
going to be sports people. And some of them are.
00:26:50.950 --> 00:26:54.809
And that's that's OK. I have sat down and watched
00:26:54.809 --> 00:26:58.009
some F1 on Apple. And I got to tell you, your
00:26:58.009 --> 00:27:00.109
kids, they they'd love it. Your kids would love
00:27:00.109 --> 00:27:05.990
it. It's fully interactive. iPhones, iPad, whatever
00:27:05.990 --> 00:27:09.460
you're looking, watching on TV. It's got. It'll
00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:12.440
show you where the drivers are, how fast they're
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.220
going. You can watch split screens. It's got
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:17.220
all of it going. You can watch any driver you
00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:21.859
want. So fun. They've got it even where you can
00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:25.279
watch who's in first place. And if first place
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.299
changes, it'll change the camera view for you
00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:29.960
to who's in first at all the time, who's in second,
00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:32.299
who's in third. You can watch all these different
00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:35.259
angles. It's wild. Let me ask you before we get
00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:38.759
out of here. Let me ask you this. And this goes
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.319
back to the movie and Brad Pitt and being this,
00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:45.920
you know, older guy. Do you think people deserve
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.019
a second run at greatness? Or is there a point
00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:51.640
where you got to let that next generation take
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.700
the wheel? What do you think? I think it absolutely
00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:58.220
depends on the person themselves and what they
00:27:58.220 --> 00:28:00.880
feel like they are ready to do. I mean, I think
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:05.079
that there's a lot of, you know, trading players.
00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:09.119
football or in things like that when it's like
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.480
okay we've got to like put together our team
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:18.339
hoping that it's going to eventually win um but
00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:23.299
i would say aside from sunny the question of
00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:25.359
whether or not it's time for him to retire is
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.460
his life what he wants it to be and i love that
00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:32.920
they show that at the very end he's offered something
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.890
that could launch his career in another way Like
00:28:36.890 --> 00:28:41.269
you could take Ruben's place. You could take
00:28:41.269 --> 00:28:46.430
this, you know, we want you to, I don't even
00:28:46.430 --> 00:28:49.009
know what the title is, manage a team or something
00:28:49.009 --> 00:28:52.740
like that. But for. Sonny, the thing that's important
00:28:52.740 --> 00:28:55.819
is not the title or the money or the salary he's
00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:58.140
going to get or even like his connection to F1.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.299
It's I just want to keep racing. Like I want
00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:04.279
my life to look like this. And that might mean
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.640
going to where does he end up in Mexico? And
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.160
he's just doing like for pennies on the dollar.
00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:12.259
He's like, I'll just take a race here and I'll
00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:15.680
just do what what is fun to me. And that shows
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.980
like where his values actually lie. And that
00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:22.440
I'm going to get. personal for a minute because
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:24.660
that's what I'm at and I'm watching this movie
00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:26.619
and I'm thinking about my own life my own career
00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:31.200
you know you look at the trajectory of my career
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.099
and if you look at what I'm doing right now you
00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:36.000
might think oh he's on the downward slope he's
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.539
already been to the top now he's just sitting
00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:42.140
in his studio in his basement making shows about
00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:44.500
movies but he's been in Hollywood and done all
00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:48.720
this but no I'm having fun yeah and it's not
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.609
like I'm trying to re -enter My prime or anything.
00:29:52.769 --> 00:29:55.390
I know there's more left. I don't think I've
00:29:55.390 --> 00:29:58.349
peaked yet. And a lot of people feel that way
00:29:58.349 --> 00:30:01.970
in their careers. And I think that's the real
00:30:01.970 --> 00:30:04.750
lesson right here. You don't have to be the fastest
00:30:04.750 --> 00:30:08.769
anymore. You don't have to be the top of the
00:30:08.769 --> 00:30:12.309
top anymore. You just got to be intentional with
00:30:12.309 --> 00:30:13.849
what you're doing. And that's where Brad Pitt,
00:30:14.049 --> 00:30:16.289
that's where Sonny Hayes, that's what he's doing.
00:30:16.349 --> 00:30:19.809
He's being intentional. And he knows what he
00:30:19.809 --> 00:30:22.799
wants. He knows what he's capable of. That's
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.440
how I kind of reflected with this movie. I know
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.380
what I'm still capable of. Could I go back to
00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:29.240
Hollywood right now and do all that again? Yeah.
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.640
Probably bigger and better because like Sonny
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:34.420
Hayes, I have learned the mistakes and I have
00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:37.640
learned what works. Yeah. But we're not afraid
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:39.559
to go back to the bottom and start building ourselves
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.859
up again either. I'm having fun. I'm having a
00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:45.059
lot of fun. What's your final thoughts on F1
00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:47.460
if you haven't already given them? I'd like to
00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:49.619
think that I would have made a really good driver.
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:57.700
But probably not. I want to know from the freaks,
00:30:57.700 --> 00:31:03.920
have you been in this situation where you know
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.039
you got more left in the tank, but somebody's
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:09.920
trying to tell you, no, thank you for your service.
00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:13.460
You're great. You've done good. Because I think
00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:17.500
we've all been there when we know. I've always
00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:22.230
said that the only person that truly knows Yourself
00:31:22.230 --> 00:31:25.589
is yourself. And nobody else can tell you it's
00:31:25.589 --> 00:31:27.670
time to retire. LeBron James, they can't tell
00:31:27.670 --> 00:31:31.650
him it's time to retire. They can't. And he's
00:31:31.650 --> 00:31:33.250
going to still play because he knows what his
00:31:33.250 --> 00:31:36.549
body's capable of. And I think you just got to
00:31:36.549 --> 00:31:38.250
listen to that. You got to listen to what's telling
00:31:38.250 --> 00:31:41.170
you inside of you that you can do that. You can
00:31:41.170 --> 00:31:42.970
do whatever somebody's telling you you can't
00:31:42.970 --> 00:31:46.230
do. And I do. I wanted to know from the freaks.
00:31:46.569 --> 00:31:48.890
Do you have more left in the tank and somebody's
00:31:48.890 --> 00:31:51.089
told you that you can't? Are you in that season
00:31:51.089 --> 00:31:54.130
right now? Tell us in the comments because we
00:31:54.130 --> 00:31:56.769
like to have those conversations. We want to
00:31:56.769 --> 00:31:59.730
talk to the freaks out there and find out what's
00:31:59.730 --> 00:32:02.690
going on. Yeah, you only get this one wild and
00:32:02.690 --> 00:32:07.269
precious life. And so why waste it doing, you
00:32:07.269 --> 00:32:10.849
know, being placed in the back burner or being
00:32:10.849 --> 00:32:13.849
placed in like, yeah, stick you in a cubicle
00:32:13.849 --> 00:32:17.289
and. Until you retire. Yeah. Or whatever it is
00:32:17.289 --> 00:32:20.390
that you feel passionate about. What is it that
00:32:20.390 --> 00:32:23.369
drives you to get up every day and with enthusiasm
00:32:23.369 --> 00:32:27.490
want to face that day and do what you love? Only
00:32:27.490 --> 00:32:29.490
thing I can say before we get out of here to
00:32:29.490 --> 00:32:32.970
leave the freaks with is just remember, what
00:32:32.970 --> 00:32:35.710
would Iggy do? Just think about it like that.
00:32:35.769 --> 00:32:38.029
What would Iggy do? The man was 78 years old
00:32:38.029 --> 00:32:41.049
and went and rocked Coachella, okay? He's still
00:32:41.049 --> 00:32:43.789
rocking it. That is this episode of Parallel
00:32:43.789 --> 00:32:45.990
Frequencies. I am Just Blaine. That is Coco.
00:32:46.349 --> 00:32:48.410
You are the freaks and we will see you on the
00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:48.769
other side.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.439
It is Parallel Frequencies. I am Just Blaine.
00:00:02.859 --> 00:00:06.059
That's Coco. And you are the freaks out there.
00:00:06.219 --> 00:00:09.320
And let me tell you, we love the freaks. Am I
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.900
right, Coco? Yeah, of course. And they came in
00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:19.019
strong and hot last night about our Iggy. As
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:21.699
you can see me wearing the Iggy and the Stooges
00:00:21.699 --> 00:00:24.699
shirt right now. If you're watching this on YouTube.
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.359
But they did. They came in and they were watching
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.019
it and talking about the Coachella. And I'm telling
00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:33.380
you right now, I literally just got a text from
00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:37.899
my buddy, super producer Alex, Jim Rome's producer.
00:00:38.020 --> 00:00:40.579
For those of you out there who listen to sports,
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:44.219
Jim Rome's nationally known, world known. But
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:46.259
he even texted me like, hey, where's this nine
00:00:46.259 --> 00:00:51.000
inch noise set from Coachella? So it's weird
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.600
to me that everybody's talking about Coachella
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.799
because it's not always like this. I never know
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.619
what's happening. Well, they pulled down the
00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:00.740
nine inch noise. Been moved to private. But if
00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:02.939
you want to see these performances, I'm telling
00:01:02.939 --> 00:01:06.040
you right now, you get another chance this weekend.
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.620
Right there on Coachella's official YouTube channel.
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.519
Go watch these performances. Incredible. We did
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.379
centers yesterday. There's lots of good stuff
00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.700
going on. And we did centers on Movie Monday.
00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:21.719
And I love that movie. really cool video come
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.959
up about, and I want to do a little bit more
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.359
deep dive into it. Cause it sounded really interesting,
00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.459
but about the voodoo magic that Annie was doing
00:01:29.459 --> 00:01:31.219
in the sinners movie, you know, we kind of talked
00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:33.760
about her being a witch and having all of this
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.500
knowledge and bringing that to the table when
00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:39.620
she was really the real hero of this movie, I
00:01:39.620 --> 00:01:42.480
think. Um, but I found it really fascinating
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.129
that like what we consider voodoo dolls. That,
00:01:46.129 --> 00:01:48.829
you know, a lot of people think it's a doll that
00:01:48.829 --> 00:01:50.849
you make to look like a person and you stick
00:01:50.849 --> 00:01:53.150
pins in it where you want to harm them. And that's
00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:56.189
kind of the stereotype we've all heard about.
00:01:56.670 --> 00:02:02.230
In fact, it was a healing data record keeping
00:02:02.230 --> 00:02:08.150
strategy. So when a medicine woman or, you know,
00:02:08.150 --> 00:02:11.849
medicine man who had knowledge of healing and
00:02:11.849 --> 00:02:16.360
herbs and remedies. They would come to him or
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:19.020
her and they would create a doll to look like
00:02:19.020 --> 00:02:22.099
the patient. And, you know, this was like during
00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.280
slavery times, they didn't know how to read and
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.680
write. So in order to keep track of what they
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.560
had treated, like they come in for a headache
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.020
or something, they would stick a pin in the head.
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.879
Make a doll look like them and then stick a pin
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.939
in the head and then give them the remedy or
00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:38.460
treatment and then keep the doll on their shelf
00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.719
so that the next time they came in, they were
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.979
like, oh, I noticed we treated you for a headache
00:02:42.979 --> 00:02:45.900
last time you were here. How is that going? Did
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:48.419
it help? And it was just their record keeping
00:02:48.419 --> 00:02:51.120
strategies. I mean, it makes sense when you really
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.020
think about it. That's how they kept track of
00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:55.180
who they treated, what they treated, what they
00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:57.830
gave them. I mean, this is just fascinating.
00:02:58.449 --> 00:03:01.009
So what happened after that? People took that
00:03:01.009 --> 00:03:04.270
and ran with it and said, it never stopped. My
00:03:04.270 --> 00:03:07.169
head never stopped hurting and only continued.
00:03:07.289 --> 00:03:10.169
And they saw the pin in the head. Yeah. I'm going
00:03:10.169 --> 00:03:12.449
to go down a rabbit hole here of voodoo dolls.
00:03:12.629 --> 00:03:16.610
And what we're actually doing with them. And
00:03:16.610 --> 00:03:20.669
it really unfair to people who were just doing
00:03:20.669 --> 00:03:26.270
healing work. Yeah. You know what? I got a doll
00:03:26.270 --> 00:03:29.449
right here that's in a box. I've been kind of
00:03:29.449 --> 00:03:31.349
waiting to open it. Lindsay always gets me these
00:03:31.349 --> 00:03:34.389
little knickknacks, right? These fun stuff. And
00:03:34.389 --> 00:03:38.210
here's a Terrifier, an Art the Clown, a random,
00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:41.150
you know, it's one of these random. Which one
00:03:41.150 --> 00:03:42.969
would we want to get out of this if we open this?
00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:46.569
I like the one that's dancing. I like this one
00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:48.430
here with the sunglasses. Yeah, the dancing.
00:03:48.530 --> 00:03:51.689
Oh, I like the dancing one too. I think we should
00:03:51.689 --> 00:03:53.629
open this right now since we're talking about
00:03:53.629 --> 00:03:55.979
dolls. All right, let's do it. Let me see. Let's
00:03:55.979 --> 00:03:59.620
see which one we get in here. But I love this
00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:01.759
kind of stuff, and she always gets me. I mean,
00:04:01.780 --> 00:04:04.080
half the stuff you ever see behind me is from
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.199
her. All the game stuff, all the Funko Pops,
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.199
maybe not the baseball cards. She's not too crazy
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.879
about buying me baseball cards. But anything
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.520
else, though, absolutely. So let's see which
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.000
one we get in here. And I'm a sucker for the
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:22.040
random stuff, like the not knowing what you're
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.800
going to get, the mystery boxes. Oh, my gosh.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.180
It's all about the dopamine hit, baby. Oh, my
00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:31.600
gosh. And look how long this damn bag is. Now,
00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:35.360
let me reach down in here and see what we got.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.959
Oh, you're kidding me. Which one did I say I
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.860
wanted? Sunglasses. Ow! I got him. Look at that.
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:47.759
Look at him. Arthur Clem with his sunflower sunglasses.
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.379
We're going to put him right back here with the
00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:52.139
labubu. I hope they don't get to fight, and that'd
00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:54.870
be wild. I love those kinds of things. When the
00:04:54.870 --> 00:04:58.449
lights turn off and you're asleep. Yeah. I saw
00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:00.269
that you just got a prize yesterday, too. You
00:05:00.269 --> 00:05:02.410
posted it on social media. It kind of blew up.
00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:05.610
Yeah. A brand new DVD. Bring it with me here.
00:05:05.709 --> 00:05:07.310
You're going to have to go check out Practically
00:05:07.310 --> 00:05:10.689
Magic podcast on Instagram. That's where I posted
00:05:10.689 --> 00:05:14.790
it. But I got my DVD of the movie Toys we talked
00:05:14.790 --> 00:05:17.310
about last week was for Wednesday. I can't wait
00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:20.689
to show my kids. You've got a physical copy of
00:05:20.689 --> 00:05:23.420
this movie now. You're going to have to bring
00:05:23.420 --> 00:05:25.939
it to the studio tomorrow because we want to
00:05:25.939 --> 00:05:29.079
see that on film and make sure we're not being
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.980
Mandela'd or whatever it is or corporate erased.
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.180
I got to see this. I mean, I know I saw you holding
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:38.779
it. That could be AI generated, though. I don't
00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:42.660
know. Yeah. Maybe if I had just left it in its
00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:45.920
plastic, I could have saved it for years. Maybe
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.819
it would be worth something. But I really want
00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:51.649
my kids to see it. So I opened it. Did you watch
00:05:51.649 --> 00:05:54.089
it with them? Did they watch toys? Not yet. No,
00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:56.949
man. We're going to save it for our movie from
00:05:56.949 --> 00:06:00.350
our childhood Sunday is our family tradition.
00:06:00.689 --> 00:06:02.610
I love that. We should start talking about that
00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:04.490
because we do the same thing in my house. We
00:06:04.490 --> 00:06:08.389
just recently watched Labyrinth. I mean, that's
00:06:08.389 --> 00:06:10.870
a family movie right there. That's a banger,
00:06:10.889 --> 00:06:15.410
too. That movie's still a banger. Today, we're
00:06:15.410 --> 00:06:19.060
not doing Tube Tuesday. But we're doing, what
00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:22.939
is it, Top Tier Tuesday? Top Tier Tuesday. It
00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:26.579
was going to be that or Trophy Tuesday. I wanted
00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:30.160
some award winners, award -nominated movies we
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.180
can fit into our schedule here. And today's has
00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:39.759
got to be the one movie that was nominated that
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.319
probably is the only movie that had your heart
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.079
racing like it had a turbo button. And we're
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:51.720
talking about... Apple TV Plus' F1, the movie,
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.279
with Brad Pitt, directed by Joseph Kaczynski.
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.540
But this movie is adrenaline, excitement, controlled
00:07:03.540 --> 00:07:08.459
chaos, is what F1 racing appears to be. And I
00:07:08.459 --> 00:07:11.579
got to tell you that I didn't know all of this
00:07:11.579 --> 00:07:14.220
stuff about F1 going in to watching this movie.
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.819
I didn't know all these crazy, The technology
00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:20.339
behind the scenes that they're using and they're
00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:23.560
driving these cars at 220 miles an hour. Like,
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.240
it's insane. It's intense. To me, the money that's
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.360
invested into this sport, I mean, I don't know
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.480
the comparison to other sports. And like I've
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.459
said before on the podcast, I'm not much of a
00:07:34.459 --> 00:07:37.079
sports person. So you forgive me if I don't know
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.399
all of the terminology and everything that goes
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.319
into it and team names and goal versus touchdown.
00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:48.000
I don't really know. Racing is one of the things
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.220
I probably do watch the most because I grew up
00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:56.220
in Indiana. Okay. Indianapolis. So what am I
00:07:56.220 --> 00:08:00.639
excited for at the end of May? Indy 500. Yeah.
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.139
Have you been? I watch it every year. Have you
00:08:03.139 --> 00:08:06.740
been? I have been to the track. Okay. My parents
00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:10.379
have been to the race a few times when we lived
00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:16.259
there. Doesn't sound super fun. If you like being
00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:24.699
hot, crowds, everybody getting drunk, the caravans
00:08:24.699 --> 00:08:27.399
that all park in the center field that stay there
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:29.779
for the race. It's kind of like having concerts
00:08:29.779 --> 00:08:32.580
and keggers and music festival all happening
00:08:32.580 --> 00:08:35.360
while this really loud race is going on around
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.580
you. So, I mean, it can be intense from what
00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.539
I hear. I've always been a fan of racing movies,
00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:43.919
always since Days of Thunder with Tom Cruise.
00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:47.980
Oh, yeah. I even worked for NASCAR at one point.
00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.860
I've done a lot of stuff in my career. I worked
00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:54.080
the NASCAR races for a while. I watched it growing
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399
up, and I actually did go to some races. I've
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.580
been to Talladega. Diehard 500. I'm talking about
00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:03.879
110 degrees. Loudest thing you could ever hear,
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:09.580
and you leave there, and your lungs are filled
00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:14.200
with smoke. You've got tar up. You've got rubber
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.120
up. Oh, man. It's a hell of an experience. It's
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:23.200
fun. But these F1 races, man, I've watched a
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.299
lot. It's a higher level, I think. I mean, no
00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:29.279
offense to NASCAR, but being an Indy 500 and
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:33.779
an IndyCar fanatic in that realm, I'm kind of
00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:37.779
like, hmm. nascar it's okay oh we're about to
00:09:37.779 --> 00:09:39.279
start some controversy this is gonna be the most
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.340
controversial segment from parallel frequencies
00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.940
ever when you just said that nascar does not
00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:50.179
live up to indycar yeah i know there's a lot
00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:51.720
of people that would disagree with that and that's
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.240
okay i don't i don't actually mind being disagreed
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.399
with i'm like I'm just more of an IndyCar person
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.340
myself. Now, I was super excited for this F1
00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:03.899
movie when I heard about it because I know Apple
00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:05.600
and I know they're not going to half -ass anything
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.759
and I know that Apple's going to use probably
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.799
the top -of -the -line technology to make the
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.460
movies happen. And I remember putting this movie
00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:20.059
on and I was in the bed or something watching
00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:24.940
it on a little TV. Five minutes in, I'm like,
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.139
no, no, no, no, no. I hit stop, and I had to
00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:30.940
go out and watch it in the theater, in my little
00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.419
home theater, you know? And I had to have the
00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:36.580
surround sound. I had to have the big screen.
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.100
I'm upset that I did not see this movie in an
00:10:40.100 --> 00:10:43.059
actual theater because I feel like it's one of
00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:44.879
these that actually brings the theater experience
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:49.840
to you. Like, this is what theaters was made
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.710
for. They were made for movies like this. But
00:10:52.710 --> 00:10:54.590
I don't think you get the same effect watching
00:10:54.590 --> 00:10:56.690
this thing at home. Just like you don't get the
00:10:56.690 --> 00:10:59.789
same effect watching an F1 race at home as in
00:10:59.789 --> 00:11:04.049
person. Oh, for sure. Yeah. What do you think
00:11:04.049 --> 00:11:06.250
from the just very beginning of the movie? I
00:11:06.250 --> 00:11:10.870
was so impressed. I mean, I know generally what
00:11:10.870 --> 00:11:15.950
goes into the teams they put together to race.
00:11:16.309 --> 00:11:21.110
The investment of the... the cars, everything
00:11:21.110 --> 00:11:24.669
that they're doing. But I don't know if I knew
00:11:24.669 --> 00:11:28.389
to this level, I need to have the meeting in
00:11:28.389 --> 00:11:31.190
these high tech. I don't know. It looked like
00:11:31.190 --> 00:11:33.889
a NASA control room and they're all got their
00:11:33.889 --> 00:11:37.289
headsets on. And I'm like, they put so much into
00:11:37.289 --> 00:11:42.309
this, the engineer, everybody is top level expert
00:11:42.309 --> 00:11:45.909
at what they do. So, I mean, You've got to hand
00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:48.990
it to the pit crew, everybody who's involved.
00:11:49.610 --> 00:11:53.169
I think the driver gets a lot of the, you know,
00:11:53.169 --> 00:11:56.590
the rock star status for it. But everybody on
00:11:56.590 --> 00:12:01.490
the team that works in these type of races deserves
00:12:01.490 --> 00:12:06.470
all the credit. And we see how much of a rock
00:12:06.470 --> 00:12:09.429
star these guys are. Joshua Pierce in the movie,
00:12:09.490 --> 00:12:14.440
played by Damson Idris. you see how all these
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:20.340
drivers are. They are rock stars and highly recognized
00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:23.919
in that world. They're making tons of money,
00:12:23.980 --> 00:12:26.200
as they should. I mean, look what they're doing.
00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:32.179
You're one crash away from it, ending it, being
00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:35.720
done. Yeah. And that's... Yeah, it's pretty scary.
00:12:35.940 --> 00:12:38.919
You're living on the edge. And let's talk about
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:41.779
the movie, though, because I mentioned Days of
00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:45.429
Thunder. and other racing movies but this is
00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:47.490
not just a racing movie let's not get it twisted
00:12:47.490 --> 00:12:51.809
because yeah it's more about relevance legacy
00:12:51.809 --> 00:12:57.129
ego and that quiet fear of becoming forgettable
00:12:57.129 --> 00:13:02.570
formula one it's not just speed you know they
00:13:02.570 --> 00:13:05.149
had politics involved there's money there was
00:13:05.149 --> 00:13:10.259
brands pretending to be people and We're watching
00:13:10.259 --> 00:13:12.120
this movie. We see these cars going 200 miles
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.759
an hour and all that. But underneath it, we're
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.960
watching people try not to crash their identity.
00:13:17.539 --> 00:13:22.360
Brad Pitt, playing Sonny Hayes, pulls up to the
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:25.320
scene looking like a real -life Hollywood Benjamin
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.879
Button, might I add. I think he's aging backwards
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:33.240
in real life. I really do. But he's not some
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.899
young prodigy. He's a veteran. The dude who's
00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:38.940
been around long enough to know every trick and
00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:43.259
every mistake. And I love how they put him in
00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:46.379
this movie as being somebody who's kind of been
00:13:46.379 --> 00:13:48.440
there and done that and won all these races.
00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:51.620
But he doesn't come in to F1 and just kick ass
00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:54.440
because that's unrealistic. There's no way that
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.500
you could come off of these dirt tracks and go
00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:59.100
in there in an F1 race and just blow them out.
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:04.360
No way. No way. But he gets it done. And I think
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.940
he... Is one of these people that we see out
00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.240
in real world, too. And it's not just celebrities
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.600
or athletes, but lots of people. And it's when
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.659
the world's trying to tell you that you need
00:14:15.659 --> 00:14:18.279
to retire before you're ready. We're seeing it
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.340
with LeBron James out there right now. Real life
00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:23.480
athlete, 41 years old. And people thought he
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:25.179
should have retired a couple of years ago. And
00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:28.940
the guy's still putting up buckets. And I'm 42.
00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:33.259
I'll just say it. And I'm thinking, man, I was
00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:35.139
good to get out of bed this morning. And he's
00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:36.860
out here putting up a triple -double? Let's go.
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.039
Don't try to tell people they're done before
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:43.019
they know it. And I think that's a huge theme
00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:45.620
in this movie. What are you thinking, Coco? I
00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:48.120
think the themes of what it means to be on a
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:53.720
team, too. I mean, you've got young. Joshua Pierce,
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.340
you know, up and coming, trying to make his name
00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:58.659
in this business, trying to be like, it's my
00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:01.720
turn to make a name for myself to be, to create
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:06.100
my legacy and then feel threatened by Sonny Hayes
00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:08.360
coming in and being like, I'm going to change
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.320
up what we're doing. Our strategies are going
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:12.879
to be different. And then you've got the strategies
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.779
themselves that they're using. I mean, Sonny
00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:18.200
Hayes is a little bit of a daredevil. I mean,
00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:21.919
he's ready to like push the limits and say, uh,
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:24.440
You know, I'm going to ignore some of these other
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:31.220
maybe important elements of safety. I heard the
00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:36.539
phrase slow is smooth and smooth is fast. So,
00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:40.080
I mean, the strategy of like, do we really stop
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.799
and make sure we pay attention to the particulars
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.399
and make sure that those are all right and that
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.460
we're really working together as a team? And
00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:53.639
yeah. And then your teammates being their safety
00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:57.360
is on your shoulders too. So he learns kind of
00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.360
a valuable lesson on what is it going to mean
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.340
to work together on this? We're on the same team,
00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:06.440
but they're acting like rivals. Yeah. And they're
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:07.919
acting like they're competing with each other.
00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:10.559
One, you know, wanting to make a name for himself
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:13.299
and the other wanting to prove that he still
00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:15.759
has what it takes, that he's not irrelevant and
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.820
too old for this. So they're like, got to figure
00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:23.220
this out and their lives are at stake as we find
00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:26.440
out i mean i love um sarah niles is in this bernadette
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:31.360
um playing joshua's mother we remember her from
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.200
ted lasso yes shout out ted lasso uh and she
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:37.379
does this i think the scenes with her are my
00:16:37.379 --> 00:16:40.580
favorites i mean that's uh you know aside from
00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:42.379
the racing that's really exciting and obviously
00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:44.799
really fun to watch but i love the scenes where
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.419
she is stepping forward to be like i'm a mother
00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:51.649
and this is my son And she has that conversation
00:16:51.649 --> 00:16:56.570
with Sonny Brad Pitt. And that brings up the
00:16:56.570 --> 00:17:01.350
real heart and emotion and what's going on beyond
00:17:01.350 --> 00:17:06.710
and underneath all of these kind of egoic things
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:09.589
that are expensive but don't actually matter
00:17:09.589 --> 00:17:12.230
in the large scheme of life. And it brings that
00:17:12.230 --> 00:17:15.490
kind of part, that element to it, I guess. Let's
00:17:15.490 --> 00:17:18.190
talk about the cinematography, the visuals. You
00:17:18.190 --> 00:17:21.250
said it, like, sure, these races, they were fun
00:17:21.250 --> 00:17:24.650
to watch, but it's not because they're just showing
00:17:24.650 --> 00:17:28.190
racing. They put us in the cockpit here. The
00:17:28.190 --> 00:17:30.069
camera angles are so tight. The special effects
00:17:30.069 --> 00:17:33.069
were fantastic. They were, and the camera angles,
00:17:33.210 --> 00:17:36.829
they were so tight that you, I swear you could
00:17:36.829 --> 00:17:39.769
feel the G -force in your chest watching this.
00:17:40.150 --> 00:17:43.349
And like I said, I had to go put it in the theater.
00:17:43.829 --> 00:17:46.769
And listen to it in Dolby Atmos because the sound
00:17:46.769 --> 00:17:49.849
design, you can hear the engines roaring in the
00:17:49.849 --> 00:17:56.549
background. And it really gave the film its heartbeat.
00:17:57.170 --> 00:18:00.269
The sound design made this movie. I'll say that.
00:18:00.349 --> 00:18:03.869
It really did. And this is one of those movies
00:18:03.869 --> 00:18:06.529
that you watch and your body's reacting before
00:18:06.529 --> 00:18:08.970
your brain does. But that's what F1 really would
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:13.000
be for us, for us average people, you know. we
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.660
wouldn't be able to keep up with the turns and
00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:19.019
going 200 miles an hour. You know, we're watching
00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:22.019
this at home, holding our breath in every corner.
00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:28.140
And that's just a true testament to Apple for
00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:31.440
going the extra mile and going to the extremes
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.680
to do this. They put Brad Pitt in real F1 cars,
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:39.740
in real F1 races, without other people even knowing
00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:42.019
it. And that's crazy to me, too. He was running
00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:45.200
real laps at some at some points to figure this
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.579
out. And that's wow. That's incredible. Yeah.
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.400
I mean, actors in general having to put themselves
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:55.980
through so many different things for roles just
00:18:55.980 --> 00:18:57.740
to be like, I got to learn to play the drums
00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:59.880
and I got to learn to play the drums well enough
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.259
to make the audience believe I've been playing
00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:05.079
the drums my whole life. Or now I'm in an F1
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.299
movie. I got to figure out how to Formula One
00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:11.039
race these cars and. You know what's wild about
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.720
that is I'll tell you the reason for why it happens
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.519
is when you're auditioning for roles and you're
00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.200
out there in Hollywood and you're going to audition
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.579
after audition after audition, you are taught
00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:28.680
to never say, nope, I don't know how to do that.
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:30.619
It doesn't matter what it is. Can you speak Russian?
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.819
Yep, absolutely. Can you ride a motorcycle? Absolutely.
00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:37.799
Can you ride a horse? Yep. And it doesn't matter
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:39.859
if you've never even. done any of these things
00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:42.740
you you never said you can't do it all gotta
00:19:42.740 --> 00:19:44.359
be able to do it all and then if you get cast
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.099
in that role if you can you drive an f1 car absolutely
00:19:48.099 --> 00:19:52.039
let's go brad pitt never been in an f1 car you
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:54.299
know yeah but he learned it but that's that's
00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:58.519
absolutely a uh just saying something uh about
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:00.779
the actors like you said and let's not forget
00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:03.819
brad pitt could have really overshadowed everybody
00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:07.319
in this movie but you got harvey air barton playing
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.210
ruben And I think he balances this out. You got
00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:15.910
Carrie Condon playing Kate McKenna. And that's
00:20:15.910 --> 00:20:18.890
a powerhouse right there, too. So he could have
00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:22.430
been the elephant doing laps around the track.
00:20:23.210 --> 00:20:26.710
But the balance of the other actors in the movie
00:20:26.710 --> 00:20:31.150
really helped bring the level of stardom down.
00:20:31.410 --> 00:20:33.309
And I don't mean that in a bad way. I just mean
00:20:33.309 --> 00:20:37.039
it didn't let him. chew up scenery and, and,
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.519
and be this, this, this aura on the, on the,
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.019
in the scene, you know, of course he did, but
00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:46.099
they held their own. He was able to fit the,
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:51.339
fit his ego in the door as an actor and be able
00:20:51.339 --> 00:20:54.680
to be generous with the other actors and scenes
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:59.400
and, um, and let them shine in their parts too.
00:20:59.619 --> 00:21:02.329
One of my favorite scenes. Again, this is aside
00:21:02.329 --> 00:21:04.569
from the racing, which was obviously really exciting
00:21:04.569 --> 00:21:09.089
to watch. But the scene where they're, are they
00:21:09.089 --> 00:21:11.829
playing poker? I think that's poker. See, this
00:21:11.829 --> 00:21:17.509
is how little I know about. But she becomes,
00:21:17.990 --> 00:21:24.500
you know. Kate, she becomes like this therapist
00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:28.880
or this emotional connection person. She's supposed
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.539
to be the engineer. She's supposed to be working
00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:33.559
on the car. And she's like, I got to get these
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.759
two to work together. If we don't have this team,
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.279
we have nothing. It doesn't matter what we're
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.200
trying to do here. These two have to figure this
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:44.859
out. And she becomes the one who's like, I'm
00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:48.259
going to. raised to a higher emotional intelligence,
00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:51.599
used some EQ, and she figures out how to start
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.500
asking the right questions and how to start getting
00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:57.400
them to bond while sitting at a table together.
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:01.380
And I loved that scene so much. And Brad Pitt
00:22:01.380 --> 00:22:06.059
plays Sonny like a man who knows exactly who
00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:08.440
he is and doesn't need you to agree with him.
00:22:08.779 --> 00:22:12.700
And I think that this was probably an easy role
00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:14.400
for Brad Pitt to play because that's probably
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.579
where he is. in real life at this point. It's
00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:21.519
like a calm arrogance because he earned it. It's
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.200
not wild, not flashy, but dangerous in a quiet
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:26.640
way. You ever notice how the loudest people are
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:29.880
usually the ones not doing a damn thing? He's
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:31.539
not really loud in this, and he's doing a lot
00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:33.700
behind the scenes. He's doing a lot on the track.
00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:36.660
He's not winning races. He's not the star, but
00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:39.299
he's making a lot happen when they finally do
00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:41.480
decide to become a team, and that's real life.
00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:45.609
That's kind of how it works. When you're working
00:22:45.609 --> 00:22:47.589
together, you will get further. I've said it
00:22:47.589 --> 00:22:50.170
before. People at the bottom compete and people
00:22:50.170 --> 00:22:53.630
at the top collaborate. And I truly believe that.
00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:59.190
When did you first hear me say that? Years ago?
00:22:59.450 --> 00:23:03.750
Probably the first time I met you at a networking
00:23:03.750 --> 00:23:07.589
meeting. We're in the community, people getting
00:23:07.589 --> 00:23:11.259
together who are all starting new projects. new
00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:13.779
businesses, new, you know, whatever we were trying
00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:17.579
to do. And that was the kind of community I wanted
00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:20.220
to be a part of is, you know, we're all trying
00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:23.599
to make something of ourselves. We all have a
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.059
goal in mind. We all have something that, yeah,
00:23:26.099 --> 00:23:28.319
we'd like to maybe make money doing what we love
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.940
to do instead of working for somebody else and
00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:35.140
making sure they make all of our money. We were,
00:23:35.140 --> 00:23:37.380
you know, all sitting there with the same values
00:23:37.380 --> 00:23:40.279
in mind. And we were like, I don't want to compete.
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.220
If somebody else does the exact same work that
00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:44.519
I do, we're still different enough that there's
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:47.200
enough for everybody. There's enough. If somebody
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.480
else had another podcast network that they were
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.299
starting to, there's enough for everybody. There's
00:23:53.299 --> 00:23:56.019
enough for everybody. And there's no reason to,
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.980
um, to think that we have to best each other.
00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.839
You don't have to battle. You can come together
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.240
and you can help one another help one another.
00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:09.900
And that's really what I could see this being
00:24:09.900 --> 00:24:14.279
on a whole grander level with this partnership
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:19.059
between F1 and Apple. Because F1, as a sport,
00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:21.460
it's been trying to break into the American culture
00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:25.839
for a long time. NASCAR has been the dominant
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.720
American racing. movie to me, it helped show
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:35.039
more diversity, more accessibility, more storytelling.
00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:38.180
Like, come on, like what, this is really what's
00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:41.039
going on behind the scenes in F1. Like, I want
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:43.299
to be a part of that, you know? And, and I think
00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:49.180
Apple did a really good job at making this movie
00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:54.299
show real inclusion or were they just better
00:24:54.299 --> 00:24:57.920
at marketing? You know, like which way? I think
00:24:57.920 --> 00:24:59.640
they did a great job of the inclusion, but there
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.940
will be people that say, oh, this was just a
00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:04.759
marketing stunt. They put this movie out just
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:06.460
to, you know, whatever. But I don't think so.
00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:11.200
I think we see it. I think we do get the easier,
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.480
easier to access. We get to see more diversity,
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.400
you know, and I love that. What do you think
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.500
about that? Because I know you do watch racing.
00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:23.400
Are you going to watch F1 races on Apple now?
00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:25.839
Have you checked any out yet? I haven't, but
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:27.960
that would be something that I would get into
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.900
if I had the time. Sit down with my kids and
00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:33.119
as a family, this is what we're going to do together.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.339
We're going to get snacks and we're going to
00:25:36.339 --> 00:25:39.740
pick our drivers. That's what my kids love to
00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:44.140
do for the Indy 500 every year. We don't follow
00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:46.460
these drivers enough to know them really well,
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.460
but we remember when they come back every year,
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.119
we're like, oh, Scott Dixon, that's my guy. There
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:59.250
you go. We got, what's his name? Power. Will
00:25:59.250 --> 00:26:01.789
Power. Yeah. I'll never remember that. Look at
00:26:01.789 --> 00:26:04.009
you. I'll never forget that. But yeah, we pick
00:26:04.009 --> 00:26:05.890
our drivers and when then we're really cheering
00:26:05.890 --> 00:26:08.089
for somebody for the whole race. And then you
00:26:08.089 --> 00:26:11.349
can see the disappointment when they crash or
00:26:11.349 --> 00:26:13.970
they're out of the race for some reason or they,
00:26:14.109 --> 00:26:18.130
you know, have an extra slow pit stop. We care
00:26:18.130 --> 00:26:21.640
and we're invested and we're involved. And we
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.960
get more like that than we do with probably any
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.940
other sport. I don't think we have a personal
00:26:26.940 --> 00:26:30.640
or emotional investment in anything else. I mean,
00:26:30.660 --> 00:26:33.440
we will watch sports, but we'll be like, I don't
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.759
know. The ones with the blue uniforms look like
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.619
they're fun today. I'll cheer for them. You know,
00:26:37.660 --> 00:26:41.019
that's kind of where my family's at. I know the
00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:42.819
freaks are going to come after me for not being
00:26:42.819 --> 00:26:44.880
a sports person, but that's just the way I'm
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.250
at. That's just who I am. That's how it goes.
00:26:47.369 --> 00:26:49.289
That's how it goes. And some of the freaks aren't
00:26:49.289 --> 00:26:50.869
going to be sports people. And some of them are.
00:26:50.950 --> 00:26:54.809
And that's that's OK. I have sat down and watched
00:26:54.809 --> 00:26:58.009
some F1 on Apple. And I got to tell you, your
00:26:58.009 --> 00:27:00.109
kids, they they'd love it. Your kids would love
00:27:00.109 --> 00:27:05.990
it. It's fully interactive. iPhones, iPad, whatever
00:27:05.990 --> 00:27:09.460
you're looking, watching on TV. It's got. It'll
00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:12.440
show you where the drivers are, how fast they're
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.220
going. You can watch split screens. It's got
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:17.220
all of it going. You can watch any driver you
00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:21.859
want. So fun. They've got it even where you can
00:27:21.859 --> 00:27:25.279
watch who's in first place. And if first place
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.299
changes, it'll change the camera view for you
00:27:27.299 --> 00:27:29.960
to who's in first at all the time, who's in second,
00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:32.299
who's in third. You can watch all these different
00:27:32.299 --> 00:27:35.259
angles. It's wild. Let me ask you before we get
00:27:35.259 --> 00:27:38.759
out of here. Let me ask you this. And this goes
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.319
back to the movie and Brad Pitt and being this,
00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:45.920
you know, older guy. Do you think people deserve
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.019
a second run at greatness? Or is there a point
00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:51.640
where you got to let that next generation take
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:54.700
the wheel? What do you think? I think it absolutely
00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:58.220
depends on the person themselves and what they
00:27:58.220 --> 00:28:00.880
feel like they are ready to do. I mean, I think
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:05.079
that there's a lot of, you know, trading players.
00:28:06.779 --> 00:28:09.119
football or in things like that when it's like
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:11.480
okay we've got to like put together our team
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:18.339
hoping that it's going to eventually win um but
00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:23.299
i would say aside from sunny the question of
00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:25.359
whether or not it's time for him to retire is
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:29.460
his life what he wants it to be and i love that
00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:32.920
they show that at the very end he's offered something
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.890
that could launch his career in another way Like
00:28:36.890 --> 00:28:41.269
you could take Ruben's place. You could take
00:28:41.269 --> 00:28:46.430
this, you know, we want you to, I don't even
00:28:46.430 --> 00:28:49.009
know what the title is, manage a team or something
00:28:49.009 --> 00:28:52.740
like that. But for. Sonny, the thing that's important
00:28:52.740 --> 00:28:55.819
is not the title or the money or the salary he's
00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:58.140
going to get or even like his connection to F1.
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.299
It's I just want to keep racing. Like I want
00:29:01.299 --> 00:29:04.279
my life to look like this. And that might mean
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:07.640
going to where does he end up in Mexico? And
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:10.160
he's just doing like for pennies on the dollar.
00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:12.259
He's like, I'll just take a race here and I'll
00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:15.680
just do what what is fun to me. And that shows
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.980
like where his values actually lie. And that
00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:22.440
I'm going to get. personal for a minute because
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:24.660
that's what I'm at and I'm watching this movie
00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:26.619
and I'm thinking about my own life my own career
00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:31.200
you know you look at the trajectory of my career
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:34.099
and if you look at what I'm doing right now you
00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:36.000
might think oh he's on the downward slope he's
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.539
already been to the top now he's just sitting
00:29:38.539 --> 00:29:42.140
in his studio in his basement making shows about
00:29:42.140 --> 00:29:44.500
movies but he's been in Hollywood and done all
00:29:44.500 --> 00:29:48.720
this but no I'm having fun yeah and it's not
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.609
like I'm trying to re -enter My prime or anything.
00:29:52.769 --> 00:29:55.390
I know there's more left. I don't think I've
00:29:55.390 --> 00:29:58.349
peaked yet. And a lot of people feel that way
00:29:58.349 --> 00:30:01.970
in their careers. And I think that's the real
00:30:01.970 --> 00:30:04.750
lesson right here. You don't have to be the fastest
00:30:04.750 --> 00:30:08.769
anymore. You don't have to be the top of the
00:30:08.769 --> 00:30:12.309
top anymore. You just got to be intentional with
00:30:12.309 --> 00:30:13.849
what you're doing. And that's where Brad Pitt,
00:30:14.049 --> 00:30:16.289
that's where Sonny Hayes, that's what he's doing.
00:30:16.349 --> 00:30:19.809
He's being intentional. And he knows what he
00:30:19.809 --> 00:30:22.799
wants. He knows what he's capable of. That's
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.440
how I kind of reflected with this movie. I know
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:27.380
what I'm still capable of. Could I go back to
00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:29.240
Hollywood right now and do all that again? Yeah.
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.640
Probably bigger and better because like Sonny
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:34.420
Hayes, I have learned the mistakes and I have
00:30:34.420 --> 00:30:37.640
learned what works. Yeah. But we're not afraid
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:39.559
to go back to the bottom and start building ourselves
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.859
up again either. I'm having fun. I'm having a
00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:45.059
lot of fun. What's your final thoughts on F1
00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:47.460
if you haven't already given them? I'd like to
00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:49.619
think that I would have made a really good driver.
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:57.700
But probably not. I want to know from the freaks,
00:30:57.700 --> 00:31:03.920
have you been in this situation where you know
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.039
you got more left in the tank, but somebody's
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:09.920
trying to tell you, no, thank you for your service.
00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:13.460
You're great. You've done good. Because I think
00:31:13.460 --> 00:31:17.500
we've all been there when we know. I've always
00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:22.230
said that the only person that truly knows Yourself
00:31:22.230 --> 00:31:25.589
is yourself. And nobody else can tell you it's
00:31:25.589 --> 00:31:27.670
time to retire. LeBron James, they can't tell
00:31:27.670 --> 00:31:31.650
him it's time to retire. They can't. And he's
00:31:31.650 --> 00:31:33.250
going to still play because he knows what his
00:31:33.250 --> 00:31:36.549
body's capable of. And I think you just got to
00:31:36.549 --> 00:31:38.250
listen to that. You got to listen to what's telling
00:31:38.250 --> 00:31:41.170
you inside of you that you can do that. You can
00:31:41.170 --> 00:31:42.970
do whatever somebody's telling you you can't
00:31:42.970 --> 00:31:46.230
do. And I do. I wanted to know from the freaks.
00:31:46.569 --> 00:31:48.890
Do you have more left in the tank and somebody's
00:31:48.890 --> 00:31:51.089
told you that you can't? Are you in that season
00:31:51.089 --> 00:31:54.130
right now? Tell us in the comments because we
00:31:54.130 --> 00:31:56.769
like to have those conversations. We want to
00:31:56.769 --> 00:31:59.730
talk to the freaks out there and find out what's
00:31:59.730 --> 00:32:02.690
going on. Yeah, you only get this one wild and
00:32:02.690 --> 00:32:07.269
precious life. And so why waste it doing, you
00:32:07.269 --> 00:32:10.849
know, being placed in the back burner or being
00:32:10.849 --> 00:32:13.849
placed in like, yeah, stick you in a cubicle
00:32:13.849 --> 00:32:17.289
and. Until you retire. Yeah. Or whatever it is
00:32:17.289 --> 00:32:20.390
that you feel passionate about. What is it that
00:32:20.390 --> 00:32:23.369
drives you to get up every day and with enthusiasm
00:32:23.369 --> 00:32:27.490
want to face that day and do what you love? Only
00:32:27.490 --> 00:32:29.490
thing I can say before we get out of here to
00:32:29.490 --> 00:32:32.970
leave the freaks with is just remember, what
00:32:32.970 --> 00:32:35.710
would Iggy do? Just think about it like that.
00:32:35.769 --> 00:32:38.029
What would Iggy do? The man was 78 years old
00:32:38.029 --> 00:32:41.049
and went and rocked Coachella, okay? He's still
00:32:41.049 --> 00:32:43.789
rocking it. That is this episode of Parallel
00:32:43.789 --> 00:32:45.990
Frequencies. I am Just Blaine. That is Coco.
00:32:46.349 --> 00:32:48.410
You are the freaks and we will see you on the
00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:48.769
other side.
