 Dude, if you're a above average, tall, yappy Asian guy and you feel like you want to act and you can do a backflip, I say, pfft, now's your chance. Yo, we just had to open up with that. That's crazy, because you know what? A bomb just dropped this weekend on Saturday. Hot boys, sans-nel, but we in the building. The news is out. OK, David, Simu Liu, a friend of ours, and a fellow kind of semi-YouTuber, has just been casted as Shang-Chi, who is going to be Marvel's premier leading Asian superhero in years to come. Shang-Chi, CHI. CHI, that's how they spell it. In other words, I guess in Chinese opinion, we would spell it QI, right? Shang-Chi. In this video, we're going to be discussing if Shang-Chi is going to change the game for Asians. I'm going to set it off. It's important that it's Simu Liu and not really anybody else. He's a great pick. And it's important that he's picked as Shang-Chi because he's Chinese-born, Canadian-raised. He's kind of like one of us. If you guys look at Simu's story, he was an accountant. And he just wasn't happy with his kind of yappy, I guess, like professional job pursues acting. Takes it very seriously. But then, obviously, he gets cast as the first Asian-American superhero in world history. Yeah. Listen, he's kind of a YouTuber. OK, he's made videos on YouTube before, although I wouldn't say he ever based his career off YouTube. And he's someone from the Asian community. We know that. He's just through a charity event that we all participated in in Toronto. And he's a woke dude. He's one of us. He basically talks a lot about Asian-American male masculinity. And I'll tell you this, Simu's the first guy. I got to give him props to go on national TV in Canada and say, what is up with how no non-Asian girls find Asian-American men attractive at all? See, but the fact that there's even laughter now, some of these stereotypes are absolutely and totally untrue. And imagine being a kid growing up. And first of all, first of all, having none of the girls want to date you and hearing more than anything that people are just not into Asian guys. Like, really real. It's really something that's even uncomfortable for Asian guys to talk about amongst themselves. Like, I don't know a single Asian guy who really disagrees that Asian men are underrated in social society in the West. But I know a lot of people don't want to talk about it or are kind of like, you know, they're against talking about it because it seems weak or something like that. But for Simu, a guy who definitely, I'm sure, obviously looking at him, you probably would imagine he doesn't have a problem with women for him to stand up and be like, no, definitely. I might not have this problem. Or he does, but on a different scale. Yeah, he does on a different scale. Definitely. David, there's going to be comparisons of Shang-Chi to Black Panther, and there's going to be comparisons of Simu Leo to Chadwick Boseman. What do you think about that? Because, and the only reason why I'm throwing it out there, now, I don't know if it's going to have the same impact as Black Panther. OK, I'm not saying that, by the way. But I'm just saying there is some parallels here. There's some parallels here. Here's why there's parallels. Marvel is making this movie in 2019, 2020. 2021. They do not. Let me just say this. Shang-Chi originally, from what my research is, because obviously it's not a super famous comic book, strip series, was based in stereotypes. Like he's genetically created through Fu Manchu, like finding a genetically beautiful, strong white woman. I don't know. It's really weird if you read it on Wiki. But they bought the series from somebody else, and then they try to rid it of the problematic elements. But then it's not the most popular Marvel comic, OK? They have an opportunity to make a pro-Asian film. That's palpable for everybody. It's palpable and accessible to everybody, in the same way Black Panther, if you look at it, they got Brian Kugler. Brian Kugler did it through Veil Station. Chadwick Boseman graduated from an HBCU. He's very, very, very pro-Black. And very much part of the community, and you would say part activist. And Black Panther was, first of all, I love that movie. It was even, you would almost say it was even more just like a Black American event, pop cultural event, more than it was a comic book movie. And you know, the funny thing is, some of the comic book people, the really purest, purest, ultra-purest comic book people, they didn't like it. But I actually liked that element of Black Panther. Well, because it reached an audience that was not Marvel fans. Yeah, and because there was a whole, if you guys know the story of Black Panther, or at least the movie, there was a whole Martin Luther King philosophy versus Malcolm X philosophy. Killmonger was Malcolm X. Black Panther was Martin Luther King. More so, I mean, essentially, that was the analogy. Killmonger was more militant, which was Malcolm X's philosophy about how to deal with being a minority in the society with Boseman. Let's stress the point that both Chadwick Boseman and Simu are guys of the community that they come from. Heavily respected within the community. Simu is not a gun for hire. He's not a random theater actor. He's not some guy who just popped up. He's not a model that just got thrusted into this role. He is a dude that we all know. Well, he's been talking about North American Asian issues for at least a couple of years publicly now. You know, so, and I'm saying he was on an Asian theme. I'm not equating the struggles. I think the struggles are different from each community. But I'm just saying that obviously Marvel's, probably, if you made me bet, I don't know what's going on in their boardroom or anything, they're looking at the parallels between Simu and Chadwick Boseman. Yes. Between Black Panther and Shang-Chi now, they made a point to choose people from the community that were validated by the community that had done community work in some way before. Right. Because they know that, listen, Marvel franchises, whether whatever it is, Iron Man, they can last for so many years in so many movies. Well, you're part of the ecosystem. You're part of the ecosystem. When they pick you, it's not picking you just because you're a pretty face. Simu's good-looking, but he's not even the best-looking Asian dude. I've seen guys at the club in LA in New York that are technically part better than Simu. There may have been greater looking people, but not greater people. Oh, Simu is from the community and as a YouTuber and someone who just played basketball against Simu in this charity game, I gotta say, I feel like I'm part of that. You know what I mean? And here's the weird thing about being Asian-American. Outside of very, very few handful of people in Hollywood, Asian YouTubers are the community. Yeah. We only represent that we only, you know, that every facet of the community is represented amongst YouTubers, but sort of. Well, because all oftentimes our fans are of the community as well. I like, have you ever seen- It's different than other groups where it's like you have black YouTubers and then you have black Hollywood, which is in Atlanta, and then you have your black literal Hollywood people. Those are like three different tiers of entertainment. And then you have the hip-hop industry and then you have sports. Obviously, for Asians, we only have them. Essentially 1.5 of those five tiers. And you wanna know something that's interesting, David, is because, you know, I wasn't, you know, we're not from the black community. So I don't know what the news was like when they picked Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, but I can tell you that there is a huge buzz amongst Asians. And one of the reasons why is that we talk about is because we have less representation. I mean, obviously, you know, black people are always fighting for their own representation in other ways, but they do have a lot of athletes, a lot of musicians, still a lot of actors. The coolest actors in the world. Denzel Washington, you know, he's black. Our president was black. So I'm saying there is quite a bit of representation on there, but our representation, especially for an Asian male, like is so few, so little that I think Simu getting it in a way caused a bigger ripple in our community in a trending topic. Well, because a lot of us knew Simu. We're friends with Simu. Yeah, and a lot of, and we had seen him around in YouTube videos or whatever in the community, and then he gets it, then it's kind of like, whoa, they picked one of us. Also looking at his story for him to pursue acting after being an accountant. How relatable is that? How Asian is that? You know, if you grow up with STEM parents, you know what I mean? Like you just, your life is very like, sort of set in a certain way. Honestly, I never thought that anybody from our ecosystem, well, Aquafina is going to have a role in it as well, but like, I never guessed that anybody from, that we made videos with or new people that they made videos with, it never occurred to me that it could be possible to maybe reach that echelon of getting in the Marvel universe. Anyways, number two guys, this is a, we'll go through this point quick, but number two, it's just a win for likable, jock Asian guys. Cause I think, and I'll make this point is that I think a lot of the time in media, there's not a lot of millennial, sporty Asian guy representation because Simu is going to be likable in this movie. He has to be likable. Marvel's going to make him likable. And he is actually likable in real life. It'll be like if Jackie Chan spoke English or something like that. I can't really think of a time that a full Asian guy, I mean, dude, Asian guys were so starved. We were trying to claim Keanu Reeves. Yeah. All right. Who's like, who's like a fourth? Another comparison to something that was very important to us was, you know, Jeremy Lin making it to the NBA first. And then obviously he struggled, but then he blew up with an insanity. I'm not saying this is a insanity moment. This isn't that yet because the movie's not out and hasn't done well. For a jocular Asian guys, it feels almost like something like an insanity. It's the other moment. It's like seeing, this is like when we heard that Jeremy was got a spot on a team. That's when we were like, oh, he's in the league. He's there. Now, if the movie does well and I'm sure it's going to do fine, that's gonna, I think that's the insanity right there. And this is, these are the moments. I think for me, another point was like Jabba Wacky's when Jabba Wacky's won, but the thing was they wore masks. I mean, I think there's different moments here and there of Far East movement having in two number one singles. I would say, I would put this almost no offense to the dancers, but maybe that's like the whole Asian thing with ABDC. Like that was cool. That was a moment where we all followed it. Just like we're all gonna follow this moment. Point number three, a bunch of people will have to say the phrase, Seemu Liu is Shang-Chi. And a lot of people are gonna get the pronunciation wrong and it's gonna be funny. Well, it's gonna be funny to see people. I could see some of the entertainment reporters being like, huh, what's going on here? Am I just like speaking Chinese? Let me tell you, those are four, Seemu Liu and Shang-Chi are already four Chinese words that I'm sure they're promising. Well, you already heard it at the presser. People would- Dude, the lady already messed up Shang-Chi. How, Seemu, how, what was it like when you got picked to be Shang-Chi? No, no. Shang-Chi. At least you're probably like, who's playing Mulan? Oh my God. Oh God, don't say that. Imagine people trying to do the Mulan presser. First of all, they already sweating bullets looking at their sheet of who is who. They're like, oh my God, can I color-coat these people? Like, they're like nervously looking up and down, up and down. They're like, I just got Aquafina right, okay? And I'm still working on the others. You know, he walked out to the Comic-Con stage to be Commander-in. Obviously it was flowing because he's a native. He moved, he was born in China, raised there until five. He said, what's that? Harbin Chu Shang-La. Yeah. He, I felt like he didn't really have the Northern accent much. Did he say, did he try to keep it more standard? But he did, and he's good at Chinese. He's good. I mean, he's born there. So, I mean, I think it's interesting to see that the three crops, the guys that you would have gone out for this role, actually all born in China, Chris Wu from Guangzhou, Ludie Lin from Fuzhou, and Simu from Harbin, which is Dongbei. Yeah, Harbin is way up there by the way. It's way, way up there by almost like North Korea. And I think that's different because obviously previously it is true like almost all the actors were from either Taiwan or Hong Kong. Shanghai or Roots in Taiwan and Hong Kong. And I think that it's cool because we spent some time in Beijing, which is very much a Northern city as well. And dudes out there act a little different. And I'm not surprised Simu's from there, from that area. They're a little bit more hearty, a little bit more conventionally proud, a little bit more just rough and tumble bro-ish. Militaristic. I mean, that's the easiest way to put it. If you guys know Chinese stereotypes, basically dudes in the South would be almost like hipsters or like... Better business man. You know what I mean? Hipsters slash like merchants. And people in the North are like army people, you know? I would say in Southerners, hipsters, merchants, artists. And then Northern guys, they're the ones eating mad thick cut noodles in the cold. Army, politicians. Yeah. Lot of hot pot up there. All right guys, number four. Is that Shang-Chi has actually written to be half white and half Chinese, but Simu is full Chinese. So you're saying a full guy actually took a hopper role. Exactly. This is funny because usually it's the other way around. Usually they have, and in many Bruce Lee characters are played by half white people, even though Bruce Lee is a fourth. Also Henry Golding, who was half and shout out to Henry, he's a really nice, great guy. He played Nick Young who is supposed to be full. But so now it's a full guy taken half role. So what does it mean? I think it just means that people, I don't know, I mean, I think they figured that's what he was the best fit and that's what people want to see. And especially if you're thinking about the Chinese market, I think it helps to have a full guy. And especially a guy from Harbin. I think it just makes more sense. I mean, why? First of all, I don't think you're gonna find that many hoppers that can do all those flips like in no kung fu like that. You know what I mean? There's a lot of physicality required for this role. So from what I know, Simu is really acrobatic, he's really athletic. I've seen him do back flips. I'm sure he will get the martial arts movements down quite authentically. I think full Asian guys, we felt people were just gonna give all the full Asian roles to the hoppers. And for us to take one back, it's like huge because it's just like, I think there was just a general accepted thing in Western civilization that being half Asian male was the max and any more than 50% was like minus points. Yeah. Like the more genetically full Asian we were, the wackier it was. It felt like, and there's no problem, obviously I have no bone to pick with like the mixed kids, but it just felt like that they were gonna get all the opportunities. They felt, I felt like they were gonna get all the looks and that they were gonna- Because they were more acceptable than multiple demographics. No, because they had more appeal. I'm not saying that's still not partially true. I mean, I think hoppers still have a lot of appeal. I mean, Western people don't want a little bit of their look in someone's face. Right, but I just saying like we took a big role and I like it. Is it funny, funny fact that a lot of the actors nowadays, a lot of the actors that we named that are pretty big, especially from Asia are actually from Canada or Australia. Simu, Chris Wu, Ludy Lin, God Vigau, Edison Chen, Niktai, Eddie Pang, all from Canada, originally, whether or not they're in Canada now. And then Ronnie Chang, our friend, is from Australia. Ronnie's kind of getting on too. I think a lot of dudes- And even Henry Golding is from Malaysia and Britain. I think that- So what does it mean that David, I'm not saying I don't want to dive too deep into this, but it seems like a lot of the Asian dude and particularly Chinese guy actors are coming from Canada. Long story short, I think that there's just more of an identity. You know, a lot of Asian-American guys I know don't even feel comfortable being filmed on camera. That's how marginalized I think subconsciously they feel. And I don't think in Australia and Canada, they feel that way about their imagery. Like, I think they get a lot more FOB media over there. I think, I mean, when I say FOB media, I'm sorry, just Motherland media, where it's like, you know what I mean? I just think there are more recent populations, like in terms of immigration wave and their self-identity when they look in the mirror is completely different. And especially when you migrate from Asia to one of those countries at a young age, you're just able to develop completely different than somebody who was born and raised in the US. I think we're just raised to play ourselves small, to be honest. And you know, I'm not blaming anybody. This is just the way it worked out in the US, but for sure, let's just say this, you move from five or 10 from Asia to Canada or Australia, your sense of self-identity is completely different than Asian Americans. Fair. Also, maybe Asian guys pick up a bunch of other ways to make money in America because America is so capitalistic. Yeah, I mean, there's other ways to get rich in America. You could just do real estate, borough priorities, guys. Next reason, as a YouTuber, as somebody who knows Simu personally, I think him getting the role was very inspiring. It kinda injected this new energy into the scene, into everybody's minds. I'm sure we're not the only ones thinking about it. It reinvigorated us. For sure. I mean, I think just like Rich Chigga's number one single or number one iTunes album reinvigorated, I know a lot of Asian rappers that I know are like trying a lot harder than they were three years ago. I know a lot of Asian female comics that are taking it a lot more serious once Ali Wong and Aquafina are doing it, you know? It's natural for a group, especially in a front-facing camera profession, as much as you say it shouldn't matter, you don't want it to matter, inevitably your cap that you put on yourself, like the most of us are gonna base it off what we've seen somebody who looks like us achieve. And you know what's funny is that- Whether that's right or wrong, maybe you shouldn't think that way. Dude, for a long time, people were always wondering, oh, why don't Asians pursue this career? Or like, why don't you guys do it? Why don't you guys feel confident that you can do it in entertainment? And it's like, well, for example, let's just say if you're a Caucasian guy, you pretty much have an infinite number of examples to go off of and an infinite number of comedians and actors and athletes to inspire you to do it. But for us, we have so few, you have to understand it was kind of scary to follow that model that was not proven for us. You couldn't even dream it. It was hard to imagine because it just hadn't really happened yet. It just means something to see somebody who you relate to. Because you feel like, even though we shouldn't feel this way, it just is this way because at the end of the day, you still feel like your cards in life are similar to people that you look like. People need a relatable face to connect with. To this day! So here's my next point about this. I definitely think Marvel is gonna have to be careful and kind of sensitive with this one because there's some kind of weird and outdated and slightly offensive themes in the original Shang-Chi that I think they're gonna tweak a little bit. Oh, absolutely. I'm sure. So it's just the Fu Manchu thing who's honestly an offensive character in Asian-American culture. Well, he's supposed to be his dad, right? Yeah, he's Shang-Chi's dad. And Fu Manchu is just like this character we laugh at. Yeah, yeah. And I'm sure that that was based off a certain era in Western history where, and I'm not gonna lie, some people still kind of perceive Asians to be like that, to be honest. But like, not the people on Marvel. I'm sure there's a lot of diversity in their ranks. They're thinking very hard about this. Yeah, and I'm sure they don't wanna get it wrong because obviously, and it's not just economically, I'm sure they're thinking about what the moral thing to do is. But on top of moral considerations, there are economic considerations, AKA China, which... AKA the money. AKA what will become the biggest consumer market on planet Earth. I need the dollars, dollars, dollars. So I think that obviously it's gonna be a positive portrayal of Asian men and Asian culture. Do I think it's gonna change the world for Asian-Americans? No, obviously not. But yes and no. But what can? Yes and no, nothing. You guys, entertainment is fake, guys. But guess what? Entertainment is driven by real forces. The content of entertainment is also driven by real forces. I think that, you know, it's just cool. It's cool to see. I'm so happy for C-movie. He deserves it. I'm so happy that there is an Asian superhero. I would say this movie is, unless something weird happens, this movie's getting made. And guess what? This movie's getting a bunch of money pumped into it. This is probably the highest budget movie with an Asian-American lead in history. Cause it's probably gonna be at least 120 to $180 million budget, which is a lot of money to put behind an Asian-American or Asian North American, whatever you wanna call them. Kung Fu Panda, Big Hero 6, it doesn't count. Don't count, don't count. My last couple of points is Marvel has a chance to rewrite the backstory and to make it new, but I think that if the writers are smart, they'll do something with Amanda and they'll show respects to obviously Tony Lern, who's an amazing actor from Hong Kong. They really have a chance to put in a lot of a racist backstory, you know, something that it really explains something kind of like a Black Panther, something that cuts deep into kind of the conversation of today, something that's very up-to-date. I think they will. Black Panther was like a societal commentary. Dude, that was huge. So I think that's what I'm hoping that Marvel does. This is my major takeaway. Closing it. This is my hot takes, man. And this is the reason why we let off with the title, saying reasons that Shang-Chi is going to change everything for Asians, which sounds like such an incredible overstatement, because it's just an Asian character played by somebody we know in the Marvel universe. It was a little bit of clickbait. It was a little bit of an overstatement. But you guys, basically, we're finally starting to play a game that we've been sort of left out of. And when I say left out of, I could say kept out of, left behind. We shunned it. I don't want to. Maybe we weren't strong enough to play. Whatever you want to say. Basically, we're going to be playing these social high school popularity game of America. Why not? Yeah. Asian men are. And even Asian women, if you really look at it, Mulan doesn't count because that's like takes place in China. I'm assuming some of this Shang-Chi is going to take place. Not all of it's taking place in China. Some of it's going to take place here. Kind of in the game. Yeah, Asian women are kind of in the game. Also, to be honest, I don't know why it is. And you can make 10 podcasts about this. Asian women are almost not. They're viewed as something else. They don't necessarily. They're not viewed as like Asian only. No, Asian guys. And I guess we're like, we're like representing everything on our shoulders. Trying to try to simplify this without falling deep into this rabbit hole is like Asian guys are like Asian, Asian, and then Asian women are like woman Asian, in my opinion. They're like, and I'm not saying this like actually in society. Like what's the reality? I'm just talking about media perception. Media, listen, media-wise, they were getting on before us. That's fine. Listen, some of you guys out there are going to be watching this being like, you guys are so stupid thinking that a movie's going to do anything for me in my life. And you guys are actually right for saying that. But you have to understand that we exist as like blips in a much larger speckled timeline of data points. So just because you're saying that and you might be right about your life, we're talking about media shifting the entire tide that all the boats are on. I'm not talking about how you run the cruise ship of your life, like who's on deck, you know, who's the captain. You're in charge of that, of your own, you know, essentially vessel. But I'm talking about a tide that affects the vessels. Almost, and it's outside of the vessels control. We're talking about big picture cultural social movements here. Trust me, guys, depending on how close the water is to the top, one or two drops can make a huge difference. That's the point. That's the tipping point at that point. We're talking about breaking the surface tension. Breaking the surface tension. That's the tipping point. It's just like, it's like, you know, when you're playing that Korean drinking game where you don't want the shot glass of beer to fall into the soju. Yeah, it's just someone has to put the last drop of soju in it. And I definitely think I view this as a potential tipping point. I don't know. You know what I mean? Because it's tough for me to judge. I'm not, you gotta talk to Jeff Yang. I'm not that much of a big picture cultural critic. Jeff Yang is the guru. But I think obviously he just got announced that it's him. The movie's not even out yet until 2021. It's gonna take like a year and a half to make, film, market, whatever, blah, blah, blah. But we just know it's a symbol of change. And this is why it's inspiring to us. It's why it's why it should be inspiring to other people. And that's why Jeremy Lin was inspiring because it was just a moment of change. We can do it. You know, honestly, right now, between obviously Simu getting cast, Aquafina's killing it. Our friend, Ronnie Chang, just opened up for Dave Chappelle in New York. And I just feel it's like it's seven years ago. If you guys know seven years ago, there was just this energy in YouTube that was like anything's possible. If we just keep at it, we keep creating, we keep attacking, we keep just like doing our thing, anything's possible. And I think that feeling went away for the past three or four years. I don't know why. It just feels like it just left the game. And if this feels like a breath of fresh air back into it. By the way, I know that not everybody's Chinese. I get it, they're basing it off Chinese characters. Crazy Rich Asians was about Chinese. That's fair. I get it. You have to acknowledge that. I have to acknowledge that. I get it. I do think it affects all Asians because everybody thinks all Asians are Chinese. But I understand internally within the Asian world why there's like, oh, why does it always gotta be this? Why is it always gotta be that way? Listen, that's why me and Andrew do make an effort to be really, you know, pan Asian with it and stuff like that. And inclusive. Inclusive of everybody. Yeah. But I get it. I get it. I think that that's a discussion for another time. Listen, if somebody, not everybody got a fair chance at becoming Shang-Chi. You probably had to be Chinese. And that's a fact. I knew people trying to take 23 and me, trying to point at like 13% on the DNA test. Like, can I go out for it? Some people were saying they're half Chinese. Who knows? But I'm just saying like, that's true. It's a fact. And it's not to explain the situation, but it is true that the Chinese market is so huge that they're going to demand a Chinese person. And just as like, at a point in time for most of K-pop, they wanted Korean people. So I'm like, it just, it makes sense. But I just, it's a whole different discussion. It's not to leave anybody out, but that when it comes to entertainment, there's like, they have to think about so many things. I'll tell you guys this. I think that, especially for Asian guys, the majority of stereotypes they're suffering from are sort of like Chinese stereotypes. If you think about it, useful, but shy, passive-aggressive, robotic nerds that are not good at sports, those are actually Chinese stereotypes. And to be honest, some groups, they're all over Asian stereotypes, but they're particularly Chinese. So think about it. The more Chinese stereotypes we can break, if everybody thinks all Asians are Chinese, it's gonna be good for everybody. Nobody's gonna be like, hey, oh my God, Shang-Chi, I really look up to him. What are you? Oh, you're not from Harbin, like Simu. I don't, it doesn't count. Nobody's gonna think that, okay? I think that, you know, it's funny that this is like another podcast topic, but as Chinese have the biggest number of Asian people they were the- The biggest number of people on earth. The biggest number of people, they were the first ones in America that were Asian-Asian, you know, very super Asian. And it's like, they may have been responsible for a number of the Asian stereotypes. Both good and bad. Also, there's a lot of Chinese people that are gonna come back and break it. So it's kind of like a full circle, I don't know. I guess the people who made it gotta be the people who break it. I'm not saying for sure. I'm not saying others don't. I'm not saying for sure. It's funny because obviously Koreans and also many other Asians that are in the game, they break them on many levels. I don't know. This part's confusing. But anyways, guys- But I'm just saying, we're just talking about population-wise, guys. I mean, I'm being mathematically honest, statistics. Anyways, so guys, thank you so much for watching that video. The reasons why that Shang-Chi, Marvel's new Asian superhero is going to change the game and it's changing the game because Simu Liu was casted as Shang-Chi. And I gotta give a shout out to him. Thank you for inviting us to the night it up tournament. Mark him, Toronto. Hey, it's funny because this podcast, we were supposed to do this with him. We had invited him to do a podcast in Toronto. We're back in LA right now, but- Not about the Shang-Chi thing. Not about the Shang-Chi thing, because we didn't know. But actually at the time that we were playing against Simu, he knew he was pretty much gonna be Shang-Chi. So he kept it a secret. That's why I hit all the shots. Hey, I gave him that one too. I gave him that one too. We'll just air the clips. I gave him that one too. But anyways, shout out to Simu. We're so happy for him. Shout out to Aquafina. Happy for her and all her success. She's in like every single movie now. So like, man, Aquafina, she on a next level. So I mean, at the end of the day, just to wrap it up, you guys, like I said, if somebody wants to say you guys are always overrating the importance of entertainment, I get it.

Thank you so much for watching that video in the comments down below. Let us know what you guys think about this topic. Let us know if there's any of the reasons why, any other reasons that we missed on why it's a big deal. Or in the comments, go ahead and tell us why it's not a big deal. Maybe you don't care about media. Maybe you feel like it's not doing anything for your life. That's fair, completely fair. But anyways, leave it, leave a comment. Hot pot boys. Yeah. Hot podcast. We bringing the deep podcast. We still going. All right, everybody. Thank you. And until next time, we're the Funk Bros. And we're out. Peace.
