Step into the smoke-filled basements of 1950s New York as Just Blane and Coco deconstruct the "sandpaper aesthetic" of Marty Supreme. This isn't your typical sports film; it’s a high-tension heist where respect is the ultimate currency and a ping-pong paddle is the weapon of choice. We discuss Timothée Chalamet’s transformative performance and the years of obsessive training that went into mastering the table.

The conversation then shifts from the grit of the Lower East Side to the glamour of the Met Gala. We tackle the viral moments from Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Jeremy Pope’s art-inspired ensemble, and the controversy surrounding Beyoncé’s diamond-dripped skeleton. Join us as we explore the thin line between confidence and ego, and why the most successful performers—from athletes to actors—must believe they are the best in the world before they ever pick up the paddle.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
You hear that? That's the sound of a man's pulse

00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:05.519
when he's got everything on the line over a piece

00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:09.480
of hollow plastic. Josh Safdie didn't just make

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.679
a sports movie. He made a heist movie where the

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.400
treasure is respect and the weapon is a sandpaper

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.199
paddle. I'm talking about Marty Supreme. Timothee

00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:22.620
Chalamet. Chalamet. I guess that's his name.

00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:25.420
I can't. ever pronounce it all the way but he

00:00:25.420 --> 00:00:28.179
gave us the performance of the decade this is

00:00:28.179 --> 00:00:30.839
parallel frequencies i am just blamed she is

00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.479
coco and you are the freaks and we're here on

00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:41.219
tuesday how are you coco timothy i can't ever

00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:44.500
say his name not even close to accurate I'm just

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:47.659
trying really hard to give a very good French

00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:51.979
accent to this American French actor. No? I can

00:00:51.979 --> 00:00:54.060
never say his name, though, but I believe it's

00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:59.020
Timothee Chalamet. Yeah. Chalamet. Yeah. Did

00:00:59.020 --> 00:01:01.880
you see the Met Gala last night? I missed it.

00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.260
Oh. Was there any fantastic fashion choices I

00:01:06.260 --> 00:01:10.400
should know about? You know what? I happen to

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:16.000
kind of miss it, too. I like to think that I

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.040
was standing in solidarity with Zendaya because

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:24.060
she decided to skip as well. Her reason was she's

00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:25.739
too busy, which, I mean, I get it. That's what

00:01:25.739 --> 00:01:28.859
we were too busy. Aren't we all, Zendaya? Aren't

00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:34.019
we all, girl? Yeah, but there were quite a few.

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.299
I think we should go through some of the best

00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:42.019
drafts. I'll be Melissa. You be Joan. Is that

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:44.189
who does this? Is that who does their version

00:01:44.189 --> 00:01:47.650
of the who wore it better? That's who did. You

00:01:47.650 --> 00:01:50.469
know, Joan River, may she rest in peace. Those

00:01:50.469 --> 00:01:53.329
red carpet fashion shows that they used to do.

00:01:54.269 --> 00:01:56.209
I'm sure somebody else has taken up the mantle.

00:01:56.569 --> 00:01:58.849
But I promise when we look at these fashion choices,

00:01:58.969 --> 00:02:01.730
we'll be nicer than they were. Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:02:01.769 --> 00:02:03.189
yeah, yeah. Let's take a look at this first one

00:02:03.189 --> 00:02:06.930
right here. Oh, look at this. Oh. We got Rihanna

00:02:06.930 --> 00:02:12.129
and her man there, A $AP Rocky. Look at that.

00:02:13.939 --> 00:02:16.539
Fantastic. What can you say about that? This

00:02:16.539 --> 00:02:19.500
is on Vogue's website right here. They're wearing

00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:23.500
Chanel ASAP Rocky's coat. I'm jealous. This is

00:02:23.500 --> 00:02:26.120
like medieval looking, right? That's some nice

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:30.000
drip right there. Drip. Look at you. Yeah. I

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.379
used to feel so bad when I was a kid because,

00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.580
I mean, this was. This was the era of very limited

00:02:36.580 --> 00:02:39.099
fashion options for men. But I used to watch

00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:41.159
red carpet things when I was young and I thought,

00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.740
I feel really bad for men because it feels like

00:02:43.740 --> 00:02:47.719
they have, what, two options? Yeah, right. Like

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.560
a black tux or a black tux. And that's really,

00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.599
you know, there was like little things like maybe

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.719
something on the lapel or, you know, the pocket

00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.060
square. It was just so limited in what they could

00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:01.599
do. And I am loving that the rules are going

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.300
out the window. Out the window. You do. Dripped

00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:07.580
in a jean jacket. I love it. You're not going

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.319
to tell A $AP Rocky. He's always dripped out.

00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.419
Like, you're not going to tell him what's in

00:03:12.419 --> 00:03:14.439
and what's out because he's the one making it.

00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.819
Look at it. I love it. Love the chains. I love

00:03:17.819 --> 00:03:20.099
the, I think that's an apple or something in

00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:21.599
his hand. It looks like almost like a probably

00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:26.620
Chanel or a Cartier coated apple. That's wild.

00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.800
And Rihanna, Queen Rihanna. Look at her. Let's

00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.379
go to the next one. Let's see somebody else.

00:03:32.060 --> 00:03:35.860
Okay. That's my favorite so far. Emma Chamberlain.

00:03:35.900 --> 00:03:42.360
Look at that. It says hand painted. Butterfly

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.340
dress. I would have said peacock. Yeah. It does

00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:48.139
look like a painting. It looks like she's wearing

00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:52.360
a piece of art. And that is obviously being an

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.099
artist and an art teacher. I'm very pro. Splashes

00:03:57.099 --> 00:03:59.599
of color. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see something else.

00:03:59.620 --> 00:04:03.439
Oh, my gosh. Wait a minute now. We got art. Yeah.

00:04:04.139 --> 00:04:07.740
Jeremy Pope here. Now, I mean, I like it. I mean,

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.659
I don't mind any of this stuff because because

00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:11.319
the Met Gala, that's what they do. They come

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.419
in and you might see some crazy stuff. Right.

00:04:13.740 --> 00:04:16.420
Yeah. What is it reminding you of? Does it remind

00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:17.720
you of anything? Because I can tell you what

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.120
it reminds me of. Yeah, well, it ain't going

00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:23.519
to be the same thing that you're thinking of.

00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:27.439
I'm thinking of from the old WWF days, Giant

00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.879
Gonzalez. He was a wrestler, and he was like

00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.459
a humanoid man, and he had it all spray -painted

00:04:36.459 --> 00:04:38.879
on. What are you thinking of? I'm thinking of

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:44.279
the suit in Arrested Development. And I'm not

00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.699
trying to be mean because I'm not this is not

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:48.860
saying good or bad. But that is the first thought

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:53.079
that came to my head was was George Michael and

00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.240
Tobias trying to wear this Adam suit and be like,

00:04:57.240 --> 00:04:59.699
he's wearing it under his clothes because he

00:04:59.699 --> 00:05:02.680
wants maybe to think he's got muscles. And yeah,

00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.740
like totally knows the whole time. She's like,

00:05:04.819 --> 00:05:07.360
that's the suit, right? You're wearing a suit

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.160
from Adam. Yeah. I mean, like I said, not going

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.250
to knock it. And it's made of some sort of beads

00:05:12.250 --> 00:05:14.329
and crystals. Who knows what that's worth? Look

00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:18.250
at this. Now look at this. This is Gwendolyn

00:05:18.250 --> 00:05:21.769
Christie and Giles Deacon. That's the fashion

00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:23.870
there. Giles Deacon. I like how all these are,

00:05:23.889 --> 00:05:28.009
you know, these two, three, four namers for,

00:05:28.029 --> 00:05:31.470
you know, fashion people here. But look at this.

00:05:31.709 --> 00:05:33.850
I love it. I love it. It reminds me of the new

00:05:33.850 --> 00:05:37.990
Wuthering Heights movie. Like a lot of robotic,

00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:41.920
bright red. Big hats. Have you watched it yet?

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:44.759
It just hit the streaming services. Have you

00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.920
seen it yet? I saw it in theaters. Yeah. Oh,

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:52.980
nice. Yeah. This is what my wife led me to last

00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:55.240
night. Have you seen Beyonce yet? Have you seen

00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.079
Beyonce yet? And I was like, once again, no.

00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:03.160
I was watching the NBA playoffs, actually, so

00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.220
I was a little more busy. That's okay. We all

00:06:05.220 --> 00:06:07.879
have our thing. But look at Beyonce dripped out

00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:11.000
in this. Nice. I'm going to go ahead and start

00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:16.000
the controversy because you can see that it looks

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.660
like a skeleton. I don't think it looks like.

00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:20.899
I think it is. I think she's got a human skeleton

00:06:20.899 --> 00:06:23.600
dripped in diamonds or something. X -rays of

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.060
her actual skeleton. Oh, my God. Created it jewel

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:31.000
by jewel. Right. That's more likely attention

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.680
to detail. I think maybe that's more likely and

00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.660
probably a better if we're going to start any

00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:41.189
kind of, you know, rumors. That's probably way

00:06:41.189 --> 00:06:42.990
better than the one I said, that she's wearing

00:06:42.990 --> 00:06:45.269
a human skeleton dripped in diamonds. I like

00:06:45.269 --> 00:06:47.970
it. It could be a human skeleton, but it's her

00:06:47.970 --> 00:06:50.430
own. And like you said, they scanned her. I love

00:06:50.430 --> 00:06:53.649
that. Yeah, and meticulously placed jewels in

00:06:53.649 --> 00:06:58.949
each spot. Thank you so much for keeping me on

00:06:58.949 --> 00:07:00.550
the straight and narrow, because we would have

00:07:00.550 --> 00:07:02.870
had people out there thinking, oh my God, Beyonce

00:07:02.870 --> 00:07:06.410
had a human skeleton on her. A real, somebody

00:07:06.410 --> 00:07:09.209
else's, not her own. Well, the way Hollywood

00:07:09.209 --> 00:07:10.750
is, that would have just made her more popular.

00:07:10.990 --> 00:07:13.730
They would have just been like, she's an actual

00:07:13.730 --> 00:07:17.230
skeleton. And then rumors and the legacy and

00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:19.889
it spreads. And then, you know, 100 years from

00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:23.250
now, it'll be told in dark caves, you know, when

00:07:23.250 --> 00:07:28.370
we're all living back in the Stone Age. My favorite,

00:07:28.490 --> 00:07:30.269
though, from the Met Gala right here. Katy Perry

00:07:30.269 --> 00:07:33.410
herself. Are you seeing this? I'm not sure if

00:07:33.410 --> 00:07:38.680
she was going for... one of the ladies from Dune,

00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:40.379
you know, the ones that do the sign language

00:07:40.379 --> 00:07:42.060
down there like this. They got the whole show

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:44.860
about them too, Dune Prophecy. Yeah. Or if she's

00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:47.500
doing a mix of that and astronaut, because she's

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:49.920
got the head thing on, because, you know, she

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.379
went to space. She's an astronaut. Yeah, I can

00:07:52.379 --> 00:07:55.040
see astronaut helmet in that inspiration. Yeah,

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.079
but look at this. This thing, she walked around.

00:07:58.180 --> 00:07:59.779
People didn't know who it was at first, apparently.

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.279
The rest of her showings. Love the mystery. And

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.649
then she opened it up, and it's Katy Perry. It's

00:08:06.649 --> 00:08:09.490
a mix of, yeah, a nun, too, it looks like. So

00:08:09.490 --> 00:08:13.149
I think that's incredible. Yeah, I like the drama.

00:08:13.889 --> 00:08:16.629
I love the drama. She's either that laugh at

00:08:16.629 --> 00:08:21.410
it or you don't know what's going to happen there.

00:08:21.689 --> 00:08:26.930
Do you laugh? Do you try to find some good? I

00:08:26.930 --> 00:08:28.750
did like it, though. I think it is. Is it the

00:08:28.750 --> 00:08:30.970
Kwisak Hadrich or whatever it is? Is that the

00:08:30.970 --> 00:08:33.049
name of the ladies? Or is that the name of something

00:08:33.049 --> 00:08:36.580
in Dune? I don't remember. I just know, like,

00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.580
they kind of play the priestesses, the kind of,

00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:45.860
you know, yeah, kind of. Yeah. She had to have

00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:50.139
had some inspiration there. I just don't see

00:08:50.139 --> 00:08:53.940
how she couldn't. I don't know. You know what's

00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:56.419
amazing to me about watching them do the Met

00:08:56.419 --> 00:08:58.860
Gala, especially when you watch, like, the Kardashians,

00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:00.539
they're always showing themselves getting ready

00:09:00.539 --> 00:09:02.779
for the Met Gala. Oh, yeah. Behind the scenes

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:06.179
of all of that. It always, it's amazing to me,

00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.500
just the absolute trust. They just like lay to

00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:12.080
the hands of the feet of the designers and they

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.539
just say, I am your muse. I am your mannequin,

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.860
basically. Just whatever you design for me, I

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:21.399
wear. And I think I'm like pretty particular

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:22.919
just in times when I've been to formal events

00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.980
where I'm like, I won't wear mermaid. I won't

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.340
wear, you know, there's like certain things where

00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:29.980
I'm like, I don't like the way this looks on

00:09:29.980 --> 00:09:32.019
me and I don't like the way that feels when I'm

00:09:32.019 --> 00:09:35.289
wearing it. I'd be uncomfortable. And to just

00:09:35.289 --> 00:09:39.049
be like, I just trust the designer entirely to

00:09:39.049 --> 00:09:42.970
have me seen in public however they choose. Now,

00:09:42.970 --> 00:09:47.730
you and my wife are going to a space prom this

00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:51.110
weekend or something, aren't you? Yes. What is

00:09:51.110 --> 00:09:53.909
it called? Cosmic Disco, I think, is the theme.

00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:59.029
21 years and up. Dress up. Yeah. It'll be interesting.

00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.299
I don't know where is going to be anything Met

00:10:02.299 --> 00:10:05.179
Gala even worthy, but I already know I'm going

00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:07.100
to be getting a call. I'm going to have to decipher

00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:09.480
what you guys are saying. And I'm going to have

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.799
to come pick you up wherever you guys are. We

00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.580
need to ride home. We in ballpark shop. You have

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:22.659
bottles clanking together. If the evening goes

00:10:22.659 --> 00:10:26.799
well, we won't be picked up at the location we

00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.139
were dropped off. Exactly. We'll be miles from

00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:32.940
there. Having walked there ourselves, we'll be

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:35.639
like hanging off of lampposts, swinging. Shoes

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.559
in hand. Yep, shoes in hand. We're like, hey.

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.860
You know, that makes me out to be way more wild

00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:46.759
and adventurous than I actually am. Hey. so beyond

00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.679
my personality that i'd be like more likely we

00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:51.659
get we'd be calling one of you or my husband

00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:56.340
and going we're tired now it's past our bedtime

00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:59.039
we want to go home and go to bed yeah i like

00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.320
the picture is you guys are going to be sleeping

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.720
in the tunnels underneath the you know the bike

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:07.590
trails over there By that park. That's what I'd

00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:09.409
like to think. I've seen people over there before.

00:11:09.470 --> 00:11:13.210
But let's get into Trophy Tuesday, Top Tier Tuesday.

00:11:13.590 --> 00:11:16.409
A movie that should have won an award would have

00:11:16.409 --> 00:11:21.250
won awards. But it was a jam -packed awards season.

00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:23.730
One battle after another beat it out for Best

00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:28.669
Movie of the Year. Timothee Chalamet didn't win

00:11:28.669 --> 00:11:31.950
Best Actor for this. And this is probably one

00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:34.190
of his best performances. He's only 30 years

00:11:34.190 --> 00:11:38.700
old. Yeah. He's going to get another Best Actor

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:41.879
Oscar. For sure. So let's not worry too much

00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.659
about that. This was just a warm -up for him,

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.820
I think. I think that as good as his performance

00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:52.419
was, him not getting the award this time is not

00:11:52.419 --> 00:11:55.539
even really that big of a disappointment or surprise

00:11:55.539 --> 00:11:58.159
because it's like, all right, no big deal. Not

00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.759
your time. Wasn't your season. But definitely,

00:12:01.940 --> 00:12:05.070
like, let's keep an eye on this guy. in what

00:12:05.070 --> 00:12:07.169
projects he's going to be working on the next

00:12:07.169 --> 00:12:08.990
few years because there will be other opportunities

00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:14.049
for that. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. And like Dune

00:12:14.049 --> 00:12:16.190
3, I could see him getting something in that.

00:12:16.250 --> 00:12:18.710
I'm so hyped for that. I've been watching a lot

00:12:18.710 --> 00:12:20.409
of Dune. That's why I was talking about Katy

00:12:20.409 --> 00:12:23.570
Perry earlier having some inspiration in her

00:12:23.570 --> 00:12:27.169
Met Gala. And Michael B. Jordan is who beat him

00:12:27.169 --> 00:12:30.429
out for Sinners. And if it hadn't have been for

00:12:30.429 --> 00:12:33.379
him. Like I said, if it hadn't been for a jam

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:36.799
-packed awards season, any other year, Timothy

00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:40.519
walks away with this award, adds it to his trophy

00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.120
case for however many he's going to win. Him

00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.799
not winning, like you said, I think it's going

00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:47.799
to add fuel to him. I think it'll add a little

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:50.980
more fuel, give him a little more attitude like

00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.840
we see in how he played the character in Marty

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.740
Supreme. I loved it. I thought he was like...

00:12:59.070 --> 00:13:01.190
chefs kiss or whatever they do i think that that's

00:13:01.190 --> 00:13:03.610
what it was yeah what did you think when you

00:13:03.610 --> 00:13:05.230
were watching this movie like right in the beginning

00:13:05.230 --> 00:13:08.470
like just off the top yeah right first thought

00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:10.649
as i'm like reflecting and this is after the

00:13:10.649 --> 00:13:12.690
movie was over so it's kind of like okay i've

00:13:12.690 --> 00:13:14.889
seen the entire movie now looking back on it

00:13:14.889 --> 00:13:20.669
reminds me of in in the best ways of uncut gems

00:13:20.669 --> 00:13:24.049
do you remember uh adam sandler one of adam sandler's

00:13:24.049 --> 00:13:26.929
best performances of his lifetime just incredible

00:13:26.929 --> 00:13:29.899
but Kind of a similar feel. I mean, it's sort

00:13:29.899 --> 00:13:35.120
of that New York City, different times, different

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.559
generations, obviously. But there was a little

00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.100
bit of the Jewish culture or Jewish immigrant

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:44.700
culture that was going on, you know, just kind

00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:48.279
of family and how they interact with each other,

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:51.519
like uncle this and so and so, the connections

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:54.820
between their families. But the absolute like

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:59.500
chaos. Yeah. Trying to get ahead constantly,

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.679
just like the running around town. I mean, I

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.120
had the same feeling in both movies where I thought

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.379
the main character, Marty in this movie and the

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:13.220
character that Adam Sandler played in that movie,

00:14:13.259 --> 00:14:18.860
both have the sort of ambition and tenacity and

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:22.820
sheer will to achieve a goal. I mean, both being

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:24.620
kind of a financial goal, like they're trying

00:14:24.620 --> 00:14:27.000
to get ahead with this, you know, trying to get

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.820
their money back and they owe this person and

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:30.879
they, they screwed over that person. So they

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.080
got to like, go make, make that right. I mean,

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:36.879
just the, the constant, like, oh, the chaos and

00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:40.440
stress of it. But I mean, they both had such

00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.700
fortitude to see it through. Yeah. I know. I

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:48.240
mean, I'm a different background, different culture,

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:52.600
different everything. And so for me, I would

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.200
have been like, God, I would have given up hours

00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:59.139
ago on this adventure. The first thing something

00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:03.519
went wrong, I'd be like, how do I back out? How

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.919
do I just get out of it? How do I just please

00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:10.039
the person I screwed over so that that gets wrapped

00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:12.879
up in a tidy bow and then I can just wash my

00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.179
hands of it and get out of it? Right. I think

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:17.120
you're really on to something, though, because

00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.960
the sandpaper aesthetic, that's what I kind of

00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.440
call it. It defines the vibe and it really shows

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.220
what Marty had to go through and why he is the

00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:29.840
way he is. You're getting to see a 1950s New

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.759
York, not that postcard shit. And I say that

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.419
because it's gritty, dirty. It's the version

00:15:37.419 --> 00:15:40.440
that smells like stale cigarettes and, you know,

00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:44.029
cheap liquor out there. Safty. director here

00:15:44.029 --> 00:15:49.269
shoots this with signature anxiety like the camera's

00:15:49.269 --> 00:15:52.450
always close up on chalamet's face you can see

00:15:52.450 --> 00:15:54.769
the beads of sweat when he realizes he's down

00:15:54.769 --> 00:15:59.309
by two points you know it's uh he he does a great

00:15:59.309 --> 00:16:02.029
job of capturing like americana really it was

00:16:02.029 --> 00:16:07.250
yeah like i said grit the gambling dens the eccentric

00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:09.409
characters that live in the margins of polite

00:16:09.409 --> 00:16:14.360
society Did you see how the design changed when

00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.000
Marty entered the room or how it got quiet or

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.720
all you hear is the bounce of the table or, you

00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:24.700
know, the pure obsessions captured on the film?

00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.980
Those were related in real life, too, because

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:32.399
Timothee Chalamet, he had been training in table

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.080
tennis since 2018. Yeah, yeah. He took a table

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.600
with him. He had a table with him when he made

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:43.070
Wonka. Dune Part 2, the French dispatched a complete

00:16:43.070 --> 00:16:46.590
unknown. He always traveled with a table. It's

00:16:46.590 --> 00:16:49.649
dedication already, you know? So, yeah. Like

00:16:49.649 --> 00:16:52.690
you said, the hustle. The hustle. Yeah, the hustle,

00:16:52.809 --> 00:16:55.450
man. I mean, the dedication that actors have,

00:16:55.529 --> 00:16:59.129
the same way that this character had for achieving

00:16:59.129 --> 00:17:01.750
his goal. Yeah. And it wasn't just, I mean, you

00:17:01.750 --> 00:17:03.889
got the sense that it was, yeah, table tennis

00:17:03.889 --> 00:17:07.829
obviously had to be somewhat important to this

00:17:07.829 --> 00:17:10.670
character, Marty. But it's also you get this

00:17:10.670 --> 00:17:13.809
sense that it's whatever is a ticket out of here,

00:17:13.950 --> 00:17:16.910
whatever's going to get me out of the patterns

00:17:16.910 --> 00:17:22.710
of, you know, maybe poverty or just living life

00:17:22.710 --> 00:17:24.869
the way that they'd been living. Whatever's going

00:17:24.869 --> 00:17:28.150
to get me out of it is table tennis being that.

00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:32.630
For this. yeah life is like this this is my ticket

00:17:32.630 --> 00:17:34.690
out so i'm gonna do absolutely anything that

00:17:34.690 --> 00:17:37.089
i have to do anything that i have to do to make

00:17:37.089 --> 00:17:41.829
that happen i want to become rich become significant

00:17:41.829 --> 00:17:45.089
and get myself out of a you know kind of a crummy

00:17:45.089 --> 00:17:49.089
situation and like in the mud kind of a life

00:17:49.089 --> 00:17:52.470
yeah and think he's the best all the way through

00:17:52.470 --> 00:17:55.849
like yeah oh there's a growing like an innate

00:17:55.849 --> 00:18:02.289
like I don't question it. I know. I have worked.

00:18:02.349 --> 00:18:04.069
I have had the privilege of working with lots

00:18:04.069 --> 00:18:06.869
of professional athletes over the years. And

00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:09.730
there is something about them that they will.

00:18:10.109 --> 00:18:13.349
It's not an ego thing. It's not an ego thing

00:18:13.349 --> 00:18:15.009
for them to go out there and say they're the

00:18:15.009 --> 00:18:17.769
best. They're the best. They have to believe

00:18:17.769 --> 00:18:22.309
that. Yeah. And if you don't believe that, you

00:18:22.309 --> 00:18:25.420
will never be that. You will never be a pro athlete.

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:27.460
You will never be the best if you don't believe

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:30.539
you are. And they all had that in them somewhere,

00:18:30.660 --> 00:18:35.759
that drive, that you're not going to tell me

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.920
anything. First of all, you're not going to tell

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:40.799
me that you think that guy's going to beat me

00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.839
because I know right now that I'll beat the sand

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:47.339
off of him in a game of table tennis. That's

00:18:47.339 --> 00:18:51.609
how Marty Supreme came across. He was a hustler

00:18:51.609 --> 00:18:52.990
all the way from the beginning of the movie,

00:18:53.069 --> 00:18:55.069
like even the opening match on the Lower East

00:18:55.069 --> 00:18:57.670
Side basement. He shows up looking like a prince

00:18:57.670 --> 00:19:01.789
in a thrift store suit, you know? But the way

00:19:01.789 --> 00:19:04.170
he handles the paddle, it's like you're watching

00:19:04.170 --> 00:19:07.869
magic. You're like card magic. It's not a sport.

00:19:08.609 --> 00:19:10.890
He's spinning the ball so hard it looks like

00:19:10.890 --> 00:19:13.769
it's defying physics. That's a magic trick to

00:19:13.769 --> 00:19:16.329
some people in that basement. It's not hard to

00:19:16.329 --> 00:19:19.589
see real quick that... He's not just saying he

00:19:19.589 --> 00:19:25.170
is the best. Well, shit, maybe he is. The confidence

00:19:25.170 --> 00:19:28.630
is great and all, but when he backs it up, it's

00:19:28.630 --> 00:19:34.250
like, all right, now he's not just a rebel, but

00:19:34.250 --> 00:19:38.410
he's a rebel with a very specific cause. And

00:19:38.410 --> 00:19:41.730
being the best in the world is just something

00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:45.319
he thinks is a toy at that point. He doesn't

00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.640
even care. With people at the same time, right?

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:51.599
Because it's not just like winning and talent

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.140
and skill at the thing that he's good at, but

00:19:56.140 --> 00:19:58.740
the social skills too and the wheeling and dealing

00:19:58.740 --> 00:20:01.599
behind the scenes that you could say he's either

00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.299
really good at it or he's really bad at it. I

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:06.019
mean, you can kind of make an argument for both

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:09.019
a little bit here because he makes a lot of mistakes

00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:13.880
along the way. He's got a lot of like... you

00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:17.039
know, Hey, I'm going for it. Like if I got to

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.180
walk right up to the guy who's in charge of where

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:23.799
the athletes stay, for example, in the movie,

00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:25.859
one of the examples is just like going up there

00:20:25.859 --> 00:20:28.259
and he's like, I can't stay in this rat infested

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:30.859
place. You've got all of us staying in. I want

00:20:30.859 --> 00:20:33.039
to see you in the nice place, but he's got more

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.680
than. Just staying in a nicer hotel is an agenda.

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:38.279
He wants to rub elbows with some guys who have

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.640
money and with the press. And I mean, he's always

00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.920
got like three steps ahead. He's like, I'm going

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:45.579
to order room service because it's going to be

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:50.400
billed to somebody else, not me. Like just stuff

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:55.420
I would never. I mean, to my detriment or to

00:20:55.420 --> 00:20:58.819
my credit, you could make an argument for either

00:20:58.819 --> 00:21:00.940
one. But I'm the type of person that would be

00:21:00.940 --> 00:21:04.839
like, oh. oh, I don't want anyone mad at me.

00:21:05.019 --> 00:21:07.480
I'll just, sure, I'll stay in this crummy little

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.599
hotel you put me up in. I'm so grateful for it.

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:14.579
Thank you so much. Yeah. It takes a lot. It takes

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:16.579
a lot for somebody to walk up there and tell

00:21:16.579 --> 00:21:21.000
a guy, hey, I'm better than this. Yeah. You may

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.440
not think it, but I know that. And put me up

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.819
better. We see a little bit of a switch, though,

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.160
at that world championship in London. You know,

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:31.420
it's the first time we see Marty out of his element.

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:35.680
He's facing that sponge paddle or whatever it

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:39.180
is. You know, the technology's changing, and

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:42.819
he's refusing to adapt. He's a purist in a world

00:21:42.819 --> 00:21:46.859
moving toward efficiency, which is, once again,

00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:49.339
reflective of a lot of real -life situations.

00:21:49.539 --> 00:21:52.039
For sure. I feel that. But the scene in the locker

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.299
room where he's hyperventilating because he can't

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:59.240
hear the ball anymore. It's a heavy moment. It's

00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:04.049
that. Fear we all have of the world outgrowing

00:22:04.049 --> 00:22:07.390
our frequency. It's hard for him to be the best

00:22:07.390 --> 00:22:09.769
in the world when it's something now that he

00:22:09.769 --> 00:22:12.609
doesn't understand. And it's evolved almost past

00:22:12.609 --> 00:22:16.069
him. This kind of happens to the games of today.

00:22:16.269 --> 00:22:18.970
Like, this is real life. We see this happen.

00:22:19.150 --> 00:22:22.910
We see the game pass players by all the time.

00:22:22.950 --> 00:22:25.289
Unless you're LeBron James and you're still out

00:22:25.289 --> 00:22:29.329
there doing the damn thing every time. game tonight

00:22:29.329 --> 00:22:32.049
he's playing tonight like let's go 41 years old

00:22:32.049 --> 00:22:35.009
i'm gonna be in bed tonight right when he's watching

00:22:35.009 --> 00:22:40.049
him you know but yeah you know yeah well you

00:22:40.049 --> 00:22:41.890
don't have to be an athlete to know that that

00:22:41.890 --> 00:22:44.109
feeling of like i've either got to figure out

00:22:44.109 --> 00:22:46.609
how to keep up and adapt or i've got to figure

00:22:46.609 --> 00:22:50.269
out how to wait make my old ways work in the

00:22:50.269 --> 00:22:54.529
new world like so So in there, do you stay authentic

00:22:54.529 --> 00:22:57.369
or do you stay relevant? Which one? Which one

00:22:57.369 --> 00:23:00.490
is better? Well, that actually is a great question.

00:23:00.690 --> 00:23:05.269
I would draw everyone's attention to Madonna

00:23:05.269 --> 00:23:09.930
as an example. Yes. Has Madonna stayed authentic

00:23:09.930 --> 00:23:13.670
in her music, but has she done really well at

00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:17.589
adapting? you know making music for every generation

00:23:17.589 --> 00:23:21.230
um up until recently i mean we don't hear much

00:23:21.230 --> 00:23:23.970
about her anymore but the truth is she did an

00:23:23.970 --> 00:23:26.549
excellent job for a span of time in her career

00:23:26.549 --> 00:23:29.789
to being like the music is adapting the audience

00:23:29.789 --> 00:23:32.869
is adapting she's not gonna be able to make 80s

00:23:32.869 --> 00:23:37.009
music 80s pop music the same way in the 90s and

00:23:37.009 --> 00:23:41.029
the early 2000s she did a great job of like being

00:23:41.029 --> 00:23:44.349
herself being madonna fully but also adapting

00:23:44.349 --> 00:23:48.930
to what was i mean i know you don't know this

00:23:48.930 --> 00:23:52.890
but madonna popped up in april 2026 on coachella's

00:23:52.890 --> 00:23:55.569
stage with sabrina carpenter so she is still

00:23:55.569 --> 00:23:59.349
out there absolutely in the gaps of whatever

00:23:59.349 --> 00:24:04.589
decades between she's 67 years old i think or

00:24:04.589 --> 00:24:06.710
something crazy insane came out there performed

00:24:06.710 --> 00:24:10.140
so yeah you're not wrong You're not wrong. But

00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:15.160
Marty chose authenticity, even when it cost him

00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.680
a championship. You know, and says a lot like

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:21.799
he's stubborn. He was he was stuck in that way.

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.700
Also, he didn't have a chance because once he

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:26.480
got in that match, he realized he's like, I'm

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.859
done. Yeah. Yeah. This is this is not going to

00:24:29.859 --> 00:24:35.380
go well. And we get later on, we get to the relationship

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:39.190
with his mother. You know, the quiet scenes in

00:24:39.190 --> 00:24:42.150
the apartment amidst the chaos in his career

00:24:42.150 --> 00:24:46.390
at the time. It kind of grounds the movie. It

00:24:46.390 --> 00:24:47.849
brings this thing back down. There's a whole

00:24:47.849 --> 00:24:50.450
other thing going on. I mean, there's the athletic,

00:24:50.769 --> 00:24:54.710
the tennis table career that he's trying to make

00:24:54.710 --> 00:24:57.349
happen and what's going on there. But that's

00:24:57.349 --> 00:25:00.170
like almost, I would say maybe a third of the

00:25:00.170 --> 00:25:03.319
movie. Two thirds of the movie is this. whole

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.859
other story going on this whole other background

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:10.160
which connects to uh you know his family and

00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:13.380
community right so this is a very like tight

00:25:13.380 --> 00:25:16.220
-knit jewish community in the in the place that

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.420
he and that's what i was referring to with uncut

00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:22.480
gems is you that background you see of like we're

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.259
all celebrating the jewish holidays together

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:28.019
there's this really tight -knit sort of um feeling

00:25:28.019 --> 00:25:29.859
about it where it's like we all take care of

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:31.500
our own we've all known each other since we were

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:35.220
babies he talks about being raised with Rachel's

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:37.440
character who he's also having an affair with

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:39.299
but like they were like raised together their

00:25:39.299 --> 00:25:42.759
families not all know each other his friend who's

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:49.240
going into the ping pong ball he's works for

00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:51.279
him as a shoe salesman you know they all know

00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:54.039
his father and they're all like together and

00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:56.839
they all take responsibility for his mother Right.

00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:01.319
They're all like. Asking him to give up this

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.400
dream, give up this. Yeah. Dream. That's just

00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:07.299
kind of crazy. And be like, you got to settle

00:26:07.299 --> 00:26:08.759
down and make some money. Cause you got to take

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:10.980
care of your mom. We've all been doing it. We've

00:26:10.980 --> 00:26:13.099
all been taking care of your mom. And it's time

00:26:13.099 --> 00:26:14.380
for you to step in and take care of your mom.

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.500
So you just feel kind of that whole. That whole

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:19.700
dynamic, that whole, like the pressure he's under.

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:25.079
All of that. And by the way, Fran Drescher. Was

00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:29.559
she not amazing as his mother? What a different

00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.880
character for her. I just loved seeing her. Absolutely.

00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:33.859
It took me a minute to even realize it was her.

00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.259
And we can't forget Gwyneth Paltrow crushing

00:26:36.259 --> 00:26:38.880
it in here as Kay Stone. I know we got some issues,

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:41.420
though. I do have some issues about that. You

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:47.380
know, Gwyneth looks amazing. She is fantastic.

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:51.839
But I almost had this like cringe uncomfortableness

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.119
with their affair just because I know how young

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:59.400
Timothee Chalamet is and how old I am. And I

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.380
already came to a decision years ago that I'm

00:27:02.380 --> 00:27:04.940
like, there's a certain limit to who I will look

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:08.380
at on screen and have like that celebrity crush

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:13.220
on. Right. Oh, cute. I remember the time like

00:27:13.220 --> 00:27:15.259
Zac Efron's not even that much younger than me.

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.039
But to be like. I draw the line. He's still a

00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:21.920
little too young. Like he's, he's little, you

00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.119
know, he's in like high school age. I was like

00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:26.180
in, you know, post -college age. I was like,

00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:27.980
it's too much of a difference. I feel uncomfortable

00:27:27.980 --> 00:27:30.359
crushing on a kid that's that much younger than

00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.019
me. So Timothy Chalamet, like that's. He's 30.

00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:39.039
Yeah. He's 30 in real life. And Gwyneth is 57.

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:44.329
Something like that. So there's a big. 24 she's

00:27:44.329 --> 00:27:46.809
there's a 20 plus year difference in in the two

00:27:46.809 --> 00:27:49.450
so there's there is a little bit of a feeling

00:27:49.450 --> 00:27:54.089
watching it you're like hmm but yeah it kind

00:27:54.089 --> 00:27:56.670
of adds to it though too in the story that she's

00:27:56.670 --> 00:28:00.990
playing the part of this um actress trying to

00:28:00.990 --> 00:28:04.750
kind of recapture the career of her youth And,

00:28:04.750 --> 00:28:06.930
you know, maybe there's a certain part of her

00:28:06.930 --> 00:28:08.569
that thinks, you know, being with this having

00:28:08.569 --> 00:28:10.970
this affair with this young kid is is kind of

00:28:10.970 --> 00:28:14.309
youthful or, you know, something like that. So

00:28:14.309 --> 00:28:16.609
when when you take that and you add it with everything

00:28:16.609 --> 00:28:20.549
else, though, you've got really emotionally intelligent

00:28:20.549 --> 00:28:23.630
filmmaking because you're laughing at his arrogance.

00:28:23.690 --> 00:28:27.390
One minute you're seeing this crazy, wild love

00:28:27.390 --> 00:28:31.099
life. affair the next minute and then you're

00:28:31.099 --> 00:28:33.680
also seeing that lonely kid in a Brooklyn park

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.400
type of vibe you know you got all this going

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.700
on you know so Marty Reisman the real guy that

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:43.339
this is based on of he lived his life for that

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:47.319
38 millimeter ball he didn't care if it was cool

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:51.779
he just cared that it was his you know that's

00:28:51.779 --> 00:28:54.500
it that he wanted this sport was not a hobby

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:59.700
he wanted this to be it him And that's a lot

00:28:59.700 --> 00:29:03.759
of arrogance and confidence. Yes, there's a lot

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:08.019
of ego in there, I will say. It's like saying

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:10.980
you want to be the logo for the NBA. Jerry West

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:12.599
didn't say he wanted to be the logo for the NBA.

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.099
He was made the logo. But if you're playing in

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:17.160
the game today and you're like, I want to be

00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:20.200
the logo for the NBA, you're putting a lot out

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:25.019
there. That's what Marty Supreme and Marty Reisman

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:29.180
was trying to do. you know so yeah and there

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:31.920
probably was a lot of that same dynamic of just

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.880
kind of chasing what you're trying to get met

00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.259
and i'm going to come at this at a frequency

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:42.259
of of a healer or a person who understands human

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:44.400
beings and why they do what they do with compassion

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:47.160
there's a lot of like needs being met here in

00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:50.740
a in a life of chaos like the way that you see

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:54.730
him just running around Getting himself into,

00:29:54.809 --> 00:29:56.450
have you ever met people like that where you

00:29:56.450 --> 00:29:59.490
just are like, why are they, why do they live

00:29:59.490 --> 00:30:01.809
their life like this? Like, why is it that some

00:30:01.809 --> 00:30:04.910
people can live their life pretty chaos free

00:30:04.910 --> 00:30:07.930
for the most part? You know, things happen to

00:30:07.930 --> 00:30:10.730
them, but like not at this extreme level. And

00:30:10.730 --> 00:30:12.329
then there's people who it just feels like chaos

00:30:12.329 --> 00:30:14.049
and stress are just following them around everywhere

00:30:14.049 --> 00:30:15.809
they go. And you're like, how did they get themselves

00:30:15.809 --> 00:30:18.069
into these situations? And that's kind of what

00:30:18.069 --> 00:30:20.750
Marty reminds me of. This just like. What is

00:30:20.750 --> 00:30:23.210
he doing? Why is he making these choices that

00:30:23.210 --> 00:30:25.890
lead him to this? But people get their needs

00:30:25.890 --> 00:30:28.150
met in a lot of different ways. There's the,

00:30:28.150 --> 00:30:30.509
you know, the excitement of the chase, feeling

00:30:30.509 --> 00:30:33.329
of wanting to be significant. Like I'm important.

00:30:33.470 --> 00:30:37.869
I'm the best. I'm going to become a world level

00:30:37.869 --> 00:30:42.430
champion tennis table, table tennis player. And

00:30:42.430 --> 00:30:44.289
then there's the endorphins you get from the

00:30:44.289 --> 00:30:47.869
excitement of all this chaos and trying to get

00:30:47.869 --> 00:30:50.089
that money and, I mean, the whole situation with

00:30:50.089 --> 00:30:54.349
the dog. And you're like, what? How did they

00:30:54.349 --> 00:30:57.029
get themselves involved in this? Wild, right?

00:30:57.230 --> 00:30:59.650
And I would have given up on that dog a long

00:30:59.650 --> 00:31:01.930
time ago had it been me. But they were like,

00:31:02.009 --> 00:31:05.170
we're going to get this money for returning this

00:31:05.170 --> 00:31:10.150
dog even if our life is threatened. Insane. But

00:31:10.150 --> 00:31:12.109
looking back on it, you know, there's this moment

00:31:12.109 --> 00:31:14.470
and everybody has it in their life, right? This

00:31:14.470 --> 00:31:17.309
moment of realization where you're like, maybe

00:31:17.309 --> 00:31:21.529
I'm living my life in a way that's costing me

00:31:21.529 --> 00:31:23.910
more than it's getting me. Yeah. And I think

00:31:23.910 --> 00:31:29.250
that moment was when Kevin O 'Leary, played by

00:31:29.250 --> 00:31:33.289
Kevin O 'Leary, Milton, the husband, he's trying

00:31:33.289 --> 00:31:36.630
to get this money. He's trying to go to Tokyo

00:31:36.630 --> 00:31:40.279
and he's like. gonna paddle him like a baby in

00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:43.119
front of all of his friends yeah you see that

00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:44.980
you know that moment on his face where marty

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:50.319
is like what am i doing how desperate must i

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:54.420
be to get to tokyo it's insane and i think that

00:31:54.420 --> 00:31:56.640
everything kind of flips there everything like

00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.539
kind of starts to go for him it's like i just

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:03.220
gotta I got to make some different choices in

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:04.900
my life. I got to make different priorities,

00:32:05.140 --> 00:32:08.779
new patterns. Things have to shift. And I think

00:32:08.779 --> 00:32:10.880
we all can recognize a moment in our lives where

00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.819
we were like, I can't live like this. Yeah. Right?

00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.059
