Why Chalamet Losing the Oscar is the Best Thing for His Career


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.

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
