1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,560 So I reiterate here, the bill is dead. 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,680 The story of this great city is about the years before this 3 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,200 night. We are free. 4 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,640 Hey everyone, welcome to Ho Ho Hong Kong with me Vivek Malvani 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,600 and He. I am Mohammed Magdi. 6 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 There we go. That's right, we are here again. 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,040 You're listening to our voices. If you feel there's something 8 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,200 different about a voice, it's your headphones, not us. 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,160 Yeah, it's not. Yes, our voices are very clear 10 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,960 and professional. We have done this for so long 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,600 now. Correct. 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,920 We know the mic proximity has to hold the angles. 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,320 We know what the sound of the is. 14 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,280 Yeah, all that stuff. We also, yeah, every time we're 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,720 setting up the video, it now gets faster and faster A. 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120 Little faster, yeah. So we're actually getting into 17 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,720 the producer mode as well, as well as being the host. 18 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,040 But it's a beautiful day here in Hong Kong. 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,200 We're recording on the weekend as we usually do. 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,000 It's a little cold, but it's also like, not like, upsetting. 21 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,800 Yeah, it's one of these weird times where you're like, I like 22 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,960 this. I do still want to stay in bed, 23 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:18,040 yes, but I don't want to not leave my bed. 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000 Yes, and it's OK if you want to like make a quick run for like 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160 coffee or something. It's not like, Oh yeah. 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll put it this way, this is 27 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,400 how it judges whether I like the weather or not. 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,800 It's like if I want to stay in my hot warm shower and not 29 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,400 leave, it's a bit too cold. Yes, I agree with that. 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,640 I mean, I should want to go for a shower and come out refresh 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,520 and ready to rock roll and not be like, just just another 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,920 moment, Yeah, come on. Or even when you leave the 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,400 shower and it's like cold in the room, like outside. 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,760 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Moment over there. 35 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Yeah. So there, that's our weather 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,240 take of the week. If you are feeling something 37 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,920 different, you probably have a fever. 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,600 You know really gives up Checked. 39 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,360 It's highly unlikely that you have a bubble of heat around 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,000 you. No, it is just you, cream. 41 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Yeah, you might actually. Exactly. 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,360 You are the source of your own heat. 43 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,080 Yeah, exactly, Confucius says. You are the source. 44 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,680 You are. Heat is the source around you. 45 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,960 You are the heat of your source. Is it? 46 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,280 What? So the heat of your source? 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,320 This is a typo. Yes, one of these cookies were 48 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,000 cheap. Yes, exactly. 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,440 It's from Taobao. Yeah. 50 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,920 So we we had had a few gigs recently that are quite 51 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,480 interesting. We might have mentioned not long 52 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,520 ago we started collaborating with the Hong Kong Grand Opera, 53 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,520 which is pretty exciting. That's right, the Hong Kong 54 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Grand Opera is the worst. Like, is that the way they 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,840 pronounce it? Hong Kong Grand opera don't have 56 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,360 to go like Hong Kong Grand Opera. 57 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,400 They tried that and I walked out of the meeting so they knew next 58 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,640 time I'm not having it. Well, I didn't think you'd go 59 00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:45,680 like HKG. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's 60 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,280 also. Did the meeting end only when 61 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,600 the fat lady sang? Yes, every time. 62 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,960 Every time. Everyone's thinking the same 63 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,760 thought, yeah. We started working with them and 64 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,400 it's pretty cool because these created this thing called stand 65 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,120 up opera. Basically they want like a 66 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880 regular opera show, but they want a stand up comedian to host 67 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,760 it and just like, you know, inject some humor into it and I. 68 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,000 Just give them 100 marks for creativity over there with the 69 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,320 name Stand Up Opera. Stand up Opera. 70 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,920 Oh yeah, We we're gonna come out and stand up. 71 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:16,960 Yes. With some Oprah. 72 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,560 Yes, guys, I got it. I got it. 73 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,000 There was a grandma there who was like standing up the whole 74 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,120 time. She's like, oh, I thought it was 75 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,120 like watching Oprah was standing. 76 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,480 That's good to stand up. Why is this guy telling jokes? 77 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,920 I would love her to sit down, lady. 78 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,200 And leaves halfway. Like, why are you leaving? 79 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,640 Like this is not Oprah Winfrey. Yeah. 80 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:38,280 Stand up Oprah anyway, yeah, yeah, they're they're really a 81 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,680 nice guy. Shout out to Joyce and and 82 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,040 Eugene. Obviously big company. 83 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,640 So that one of the the main shows is like the big fucking 84 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,920 every few months. They have like 3000 people or 85 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,600 whatever over like multiple nights. 86 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Yeah, wow. So set up opera obviously is 87 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,560 much smaller scale at the Fringe Club, at least for now. 88 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,560 And we have been going. I've been producing The Stand 89 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,320 Apart, but last one I actually hosted it with Annie. 90 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,000 It was like a live theme or whatever. 91 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,040 Yeah, but it's also cool because they give us a synopsis of every 92 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Aria and I've actually never attended opera. 93 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Have you attended? What I. 94 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,040 Mean, yeah, it's a song. Yes, that's that's what you 95 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,240 call. It oh, they're too good for 96 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,600 song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 97 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,560 This is you say song. Someone will be like, yeah, 98 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,880 like. We don't sing songs. 99 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,920 Yes, we songs. Deliver ayas yes. 100 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,400 London Bridges. That's a fucking song. 101 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800 Yes, London Bridges. That's an Aria. 102 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:35,280 Yep, not just that, it's also it has to be in a language you 103 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,960 don't understand. That's the second part. 104 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,280 We did 8 Arias in the last one and seven of them were either in 105 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:46,400 Italian or German. So the last one was Phantom of 106 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,680 the Opera, which Opera, people will tell you, is not a fucking 107 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,440 opera. Apparently it's such a big deal. 108 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,920 Yeah, because opera's in the name. 109 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,520 Yeah. Everyone thinks it's an opera. 110 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,240 It's not an opera, OK. And people get really mad when 111 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,440 the you tell them. Oh. 112 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,680 I watch opera too. Yes, I watch opera too. 113 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,680 I saw something. Like no. 114 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,160 So, but that one was my favorite because it's the only one I 115 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,800 could understand. They did it in English. 116 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,840 So I guess the equivalent would be if someone says I'm a big fan 117 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:13,640 of stand up and they're like, what did you last watch? 118 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,520 They're like Mr. Bean. Yes, yes, exactly. 119 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,040 It is funny. He's very good, yes, but it's 120 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,840 not. OK, never. 121 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,000 All right, fine. Yes, exactly. 122 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,760 So, but yeah, we go in kind of in between Arias and you know, 123 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,800 we introduce the next one. We also do stand up like up top 124 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,720 of every segment, like the first and second-half. 125 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,080 But the whole thing is really interesting and I would really, 126 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760 really encourage anyone who is like half slight. 127 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,720 So the way the they described like the audience they want to 128 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,760 attract is the bi curious people. 129 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,920 Bi curious? Oh, like curious in two ways, 130 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,120 yes, that's not very curious. Two ways. 131 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Just two. Ways I would have thought if. 132 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,400 You're curious about more things then you cannot. 133 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,360 Come. Oh wow OK yes I will never 134 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,320 attend them. So it's either stand up audience 135 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,160 who are curious about opera or the other way around. 136 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,040 Oh, that's what they meant by bicurious. 137 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,280 Yes, yes, yes, yes. OK, Got. 138 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:10,240 It so if you are bi curious, yes that show is for you. 139 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,160 The next one is on the 6th of March, also at the Fringe club 140 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,760 and we will be doing the the comedy part. 141 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,120 I'm not sure which who's hosting? 142 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,080 Might be, might be you, we'll see someone would be hosting but 143 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,240 either way it's a lot of fun. Check it out. 144 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,240 What Have you seen an opera in Hong Kong before? 145 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,160 In Hong Kong, no.

So. 191 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,280 Oh yeah, I was saying that I love it. 192 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,440 If you did what you don't recall very much watching one. 193 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400 I sat through a couple of shows now and, you know, enjoyed my 194 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,159 work on it. When I'm watching what they are 195 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,000 doing, Yeah, I have no fucking idea what's happening. 196 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,440 So you see, So even when I'm. So there was one about 197 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,159 Cinderella, for example, like I knew the basic story. 198 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,240 Yeah. And I kind of rephrased the the 199 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,560 the part that they're going to do. 200 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:48,400 The introduction. Right. 201 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200 The introduction and it was like, funny and, you know, got a 202 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,600 laugh. And then the lady started 203 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,000 singing. Yeah, but she's also singing. 204 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160 It's like where they do it like they sing and like kind of act 205 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,280 it out. Oh, there's also drama involved. 206 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000 Yes, well, basic drama. It's not like a. 207 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Full How long? How long was the Aria? 208 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,560 Each each one is like 5 minutes. 5 minutes, Yeah. 209 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:08,680 So they can kness the whole Cinderella story. 210 00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:10,600 Yeah, yeah, the floor. Look in the mirror. 211 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,160 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stuff like this. 212 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,520 But then even though I knew it's a, you know, a popular story and 213 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,360 I know what the story is, and I just read the synopsis, I'm 214 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,680 watching her. I'm like, there is no chance for 215 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,920 me to understand that this is Cinderella. 216 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,440 No chance. She's just like holding like I 217 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,360 think the prop that she could use like teddy bear or 218 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,920 something. OK, so, so could you like 219 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,120 describe because I'm very curious now what it was like. 220 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,560 I mean, yeah, so so you're like, all right guys, now believe it. 221 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,520 Well. Yeah, I can. 222 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:39,160 I can read you. Oh, I wouldn't have my notes. 223 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,960 Here I don't have like a. You would. 224 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240 I made. Yeah, I reiterated in a funny 225 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,280 way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 226 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,880 I made fun the part of I think, yeah, I think one of the things 227 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,760 that they give us, the part that she's about to do is the part 228 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,200 where like she, the Prince is actually from the prince's point 229 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,960 of view that he wants to, he doesn't like any of the girls 230 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,840 that who are super aristocrats. So he's going, yeah, he wants 231 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,720 some basic one, right. So I joke about this is like the 232 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,760 equivalent of modern day man who's like, I don't like dating 233 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,080 apps. I don't like, I like to meet 234 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,640 people in real life. I'm like, aren't these people 235 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,440 annoying? Just like making fun of it. 236 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,640 And then so he, apparently the Rossini who wrote the piece, 237 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,840 yes, that they're about to do, inserted himself into the story 238 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,040 like he was. The Prince, then. 239 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120 No, he was the prince's servant. He inserted himself in the story 240 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,600 as a prince's servant. Well, good balance of humility, 241 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400 and yeah, I wouldn't be part of it, but I could be the humble. 242 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,960 One, I can be the humble. No, but there is a there is a 243 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,760 twist here. He inserted himself in the 244 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,760 story. And then because the Prince 245 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,400 wants to find a commoner with real emotions, Yeah, he swapped 246 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,720 with his servant. So he's like, oh, I'm going to 247 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,640 pretend. Yes. 248 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000 And so he made himself, ultimately, the Prince. 249 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,240 All right. First of all, from a very DEI 250 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,920 point of view, that's extremely wrong. 251 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,960 Yes, I want to be of a lower level. 252 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,720 You come here, I will be used. Exactly. 253 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,560 So actually my bit which I'm very proud of, I said this is 254 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:10,120 the modern day equivalent of swapping, swapping seats with 255 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,120 your helper for the day. And I said so you can go enjoy 256 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,360 karaoke, Filipino karaoke with your helper friends and your 257 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400 helper can enjoy the air conditioner in the house for 258 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,400 the. First time in her life, yeah. 259 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,880 Oh, man, even though, yes, it's clear what's happening, you 260 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,680 know, we told the story, made jokes, brought out the woman and 261 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,200 she's just. So here's. 262 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,960 Yeah. So I want to get an imagination. 263 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,200 Yeah, yeah, I want to get the imagination. 264 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,440 Okay, so. I bring her up. 265 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,080 So the song scene is going to be when the Prince now wants to 266 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,120 find a basic bitch. I think so. 267 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,040 OK, alright, well I give the synopsis, but that's that's I 268 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,320 know in part. I don't know when she start, you 269 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,960 know what I mean? Like this is a general synopsis. 270 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,520 She has 5 minutes and there is some singing. 271 00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:53,520 Yeah. And then what is happening? 272 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,520 Otherwise I have no clue. Because it's in Italian or what? 273 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,560 It's in Italian, Yeah, it's been using. 274 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,320 Yeah, yeah. So does she have a prop with her 275 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240 when she comes out? She had like a teddy bear. 276 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,240 She was a couple of times too, yeah. 277 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,120 So I don't know if what even it represents or is just her own 278 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,600 personal teddy bear that she just used for comfort. 279 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,600 OK, so it doesn't make it like the Prince is supposed to be in 280 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,960 the scene now and she has a teddy bear. 281 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,440 I'm guessing now we've just jumped in the scene where 282 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,240 Cinderella's sitting over there lost one of her shoes. 283 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,920 She's like pissed off and there. Was no shoes and no. 284 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,360 She's no OK. OK, so. 285 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,720 That's why I'm like, it's another part of the story, I 286 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,440 think. Maybe it's a parallel universe. 287 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,360 Yes. Yeah. 288 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,720 Like, it's like, it's like Cinderella, you know, like how 289 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000 on in Soho, near the escalators, there's this redneck cellar 290 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000 terrace. Yes. 291 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,120 And the story is that they wrote the name backwards. 292 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alexander was written up. 293 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,200 This might be the reverse version. 294 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,400 This is like, not Cinderella as Ala Rez. 295 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,240 Ala Rez. Yeah, Ala Rez, Yeah. 296 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,000 So she comes out, she has a teddy bear, yes. 297 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,160 And she's going to mascarpone, Yeah, stuff like that, and then 298 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,640 start singing. Now at what point is there 299 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,360 change of this scenario? Well, the whole thing, it's at 300 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,160 the fringe club and, and one of the, whatever they call it, the 301 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,880 Milky Way or something. Oh, the dairy. 302 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,480 The dairy, yeah, with the whatever all. 303 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,600 Right. I've had too many things 304 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,120 recently. Yeah, it's the theater. 305 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,720 So it's like all on the same level. 306 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,640 There's no the stage is not being used at all. 307 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,320 Oh, it's on the floor. It's on the floor. 308 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,160 All of it is on the floor. We're on the floor. 309 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,840 Everyone's on the floor. And the stage is empty. 310 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,320 Sage is empty. So you're in a circle 311 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720 surrounding this woman? Well, the audio no the audience 312 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,880 are like sat on the tables like. All but closer to the door, the 313 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160 performance, the. Performance is standing like in 314 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,200 the middle like so we're all kind of like on the. 315 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,640 Level of audience, OK. Which I don't mind at all. 316 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,800 That's actually fine. Was there any like smoke and fog 317 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,880 and stuff like that? No effects? 318 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,320 No. No, it's quite no production. 319 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,320 Yeah, yeah. No spotlights or nothing. 320 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Right there, there is a spotlight. 321 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:49,880 Oh, this one. But it doesn't like follow 322 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,160 anyone or anything. It's still pretty basic, OK. 323 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000 But then yeah, again, she is moving around and she actually 324 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,760 at some point she went kind of like in the middle of the area, 325 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,440 went like into the door with at least to the bathroom and the 326 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,080 question and it came back and then the whole thing and then 327 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,000 like exited the scene. I guess that's the queue to 328 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,400 exit, which actually exits from the main door. 329 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,880 That's when we're like where? People come in from yeah, she 330 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,840 left. She went home, basically. 331 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,840 Yeah, yeah, yeah, She went home. Yeah, but the whole time, teddy 332 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,400 bear in the hand. Yes, I think she left him on the 333 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,480 table, on the on the chair a couple of times on her own chair 334 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,520 and then walked out. And that's when we're like, 335 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,400 yeah. But then it's I'm give the 336 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Cinderella story because it's a famous story. 337 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,840 Every one of them was kind of similar where, you know, I'm 338 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,560 like, OK, here's a story and then here's these people singing 339 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,400 and I have no idea what's happening. 340 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,200 It's like the Aztec art piece was so. 341 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,880 Abstract. This is talking about the 342 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,880 portrayal of life. He's looking like there's a red 343 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,160 dot. OK. 344 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,240 What you're trying to say is we're just a done deal. 345 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,160 And also for the record, they might hear this and fire me 346 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,440 immediately. No, I guess, but I genuinely 347 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,240 have no idea people will be. Curious. 348 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,920 Yeah, I need to see how weird this is, right? 349 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,360 It's yeah, I mean, if you guys have seen Oprah and you know, 350 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,080 they're like, no, you idiot, when she does this, this means 351 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,360 this or whatever. They could be like, like little 352 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,040 little secrets. Yes, yes, yes. 353 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,480 So. Like maybe the teddy bear stands 354 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,440 for something. Yes. 355 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,240 And if had we done any sort of opera research, we noticed teddy 356 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,400 bear signifies the love between the Prince who's trying to find 357 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,720 a basic woman. Exactly. 358 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,240 But it's signifies. The bumper Who's underpaid and. 359 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,600 One of those yeah, it's like a whole story behind this is 360 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,600 because the teddy bear always has a smile while being very 361 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,200 small and cute. But also sometimes they squeeze 362 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,120 the squeeze the teddy bear to heart so it kills it. 363 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,320 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 364 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640 So here you are, 5 minutes. She's going like, what? 365 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,840 Blah, blah, blah. Yeah. 366 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,720 And then leaves from the main door. 367 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,800 Yes. Was there that moment of 368 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,600 everyone like yes, yes. Every time, every time, every, 369 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,120 all 8 songs. Never know. 370 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,440 I mean, there is one like the very end, the Phantom of the 371 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,640 Opera one, this last one and before that also. 372 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920 That's obvious. The last one is always like a 373 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,720 bit grandiose and you can see the actors go back going over 374 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:57,280 the top. Yeah. 375 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,760 Because like, the main thing. Yeah, Yeah. 376 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,080 And then like, bow down and stuff. 377 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,640 That's when you're like, OK. This is easy. 378 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,840 But every song before that was always like, is it? 379 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,200 Is this it? It's always the moment. 380 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,560 OK. And then there's like, at least 381 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,400 like 1 1/2 seconds, Yeah. Before the first person starts 382 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:13,800 clapping. Oh. 383 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,680 Yeah, we got, we got. Luckily we as the host had the 384 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,800 cue cards with the duration of the IS, so we knew. 385 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,000 So a couple of times we prompted the clap because. 386 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000 We knew it was over. Yeah. 387 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,400 OK. Yeah, I think that's necessary 388 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,760 because a lot of people really don't know that at all, okay. 389 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,240 And if you as the host started clapping and they actually 390 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,760 didn't clap, that's even worse. Yeah, if they didn't finish, 391 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,680 that's even worse. Right. 392 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,840 Say this actually in tycoon I saw during Christmas time, they 393 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,280 always invite these circus acts. Yes, when I say circus, not like 394 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,680 clowns, it's like proper like yes, yes, more nonverbal acts, 395 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,400 right, And you actually have a tycoon star standing there. 396 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,160 But like the sign says, please sit down to watch show. 397 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,760 Stuff like that. Yes. 398 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,200 And they will clap at the points where it's like, oh we should be 399 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,800 clapping. That's like the the late night 400 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,840 shows. They have the applause. 401 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,800 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. Yes, and I realize that that's 402 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,240 not an US thing. That's like everyone. 403 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,800 They're like, no, you don't know when to clap. 404 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,920 So let me tell you, idiot. Wow. 405 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,480 OK, OK, OK, so that's one song. That's Cinderella. 406 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,079 Yes. I believe the whole night had 407 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,680 not just Cinderella right as a whole. 408 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,079 No, no, there is a whole bunch of all love vibe I have. 409 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:13,960 Yes, I have the original script, like the original synopsis, but 410 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,160 then our own script we wrote outside and then put them on cue 411 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,359 cards and I don't have them here. 412 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,480 And then, yeah. So they're all like, well, 413 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,440 that's another thing. They're not all love story. 414 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,839 I guess. Again, it's so high level that I 415 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,080 ignore. So the first like two or three 416 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,640 ones were actually like love suicides. 417 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,720 It's not even like. Juliet kind of model, yeah. 418 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,760 It's not even that. It's not like actually it's more 419 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,520 suicide than love and anything else. 420 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,120 They're like, very. So the synopsis talks about how 421 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,000 this person kill themselves. Yes, yes, yes. 422 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,560 Yeah, I mean. Like synopsis I can read for 423 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,760 you, just a couple, at least the first one because I have them 424 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,720 right here.

Or one of your daughters or 496 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,000 whatever. And Herman needs some info from 497 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,280 you. You're like, where you going 498 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,120 with this man? Like, because if he ever has a 499 00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,560 gun pointing at you, yes. Do not test. 500 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,360 Him, yes, just give him the information. 501 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Because he doesn't know how to use that fucking thing. 502 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:23,000 So I did say Annie was introducing this one, and I did 503 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,200 say responding to her was, I know this is sounds like 504 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,120 depressing, but I would let you know that this is the most 505 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:33,880 uplifting song we have today. The next one is about starvation 506 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960 in Africa. That's a joke. 507 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. 509 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,840 And I think from their logics, like we just want to get the 510 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,200 crazy one out of the way. Man, which is the gamble for 511 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,040 sure. Gamble dude. 512 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,160 I wouldn't start with that.

Anybody see what? 596 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,840 Yeah, exactly. We don't know what photos, but I 597 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,640 also didn't know they had photos at Mozart time, I thought. 598 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,320 Everybody can have, you know, it's not only you that has fans. 599 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,120 Okay, yes, it's not you that only has fans. 600 00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:28,200 I think it's yeah, okay. They I don't I I want to imagine 601 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,760 the photos. What do you think? 602 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,000 I look my view because back in those days the photo had to have 603 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,560 a big ass machine and stuff like that. 604 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,680 Yeah, she definitely put her heart into it. 605 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,600 She's got like with all that set up, she's like, dude, this 606 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,520 better be a good. This better? 607 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,400 Yeah. This better. 608 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,720 This better be worth it, yeah.

So literally even the most 611 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,320 boring of photos would be sufficient. 612 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,240 Yep. To be. 613 00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:55,120 Oh, this is tantalizing. What's his name? 614 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,360 Michael Che from SNL has this bit about how, yeah, people, 615 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,760 people sending Dick pics back in the day. 616 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,000 And it's like like, imagine when you're doing it on this crazy 617 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,080 big thing, big ass thing. And then his motion thing is 618 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,280 like, he's just like doing the photos, like, like we're shaking 619 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,560 his arms, like, yeah.

The Prince and all the riches, 767 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,320 yes. And the whole time, the struggle 768 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,320 was I just want to be me. But this is part of me. 769 00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,640 Yeah. It's attached to me. 770 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,040 And the struggle of like, walking around around looking at 771 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,360 people like you don't have a teddy bear. 772 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,480 Yeah.

So things around. 778 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,160 Looks at the whole room. Nobody has a teddy bear and 779 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,960 realizes, you know what I need to do and to leave this universe 780 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,080 and start a new life where teddy bears don't exist. 781 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,480 Yes. Put the teddy bear down and 782 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,760 leaves. Walks out on Windham Rd. 783 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,720 Yeah. Windham goes to Beirut Beast. 784 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,480 Exactly. Yeah. 785 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,720 And the truth is, if you find yourself walking out on Windham 786 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,280 St., Yes, pretty basic, dude. Like, like, don't think. 787 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,280 Oh, I'm a Windham St. No, you're not, dude. 788 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,720 You're 1 of many basic people. Yes, yes. 789 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,960 If you want nothing special. Yeah, you like, you could 790 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,240 literally be living on the peak and stuff and you're on Windham 791 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,600 St. Yeah, nobody gives a shit. 792 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,440 No one gives a. Shit, I think that's the signal. 793 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,320 That's the that's the transformation. 794 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,200 They were like, I'm at the dairy at French Club. 795 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,640 I feel special people looking at me. 796 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,680 I'm, you know, I'm on the title, on the poster, everything. 797 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,760 I can't, I need to just be a basic part of the public. 798 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,920 I need to be a sheep in the herd. 799 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,480 I can't be the lion. I can't be the elephant. 800 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,600 Walks in Wind St. like finally nobody cares. 801 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,400 I'm one with the people. I finally if a. 802 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,239 Guy sees me for Yeah. Imagine we're talking last week 803 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,840 if you won the lottery. Yeah. 804 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,480 You're like, everyone wants a piece of me. 805 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,520 And then you just, like, walk on the street and you're like, no 806 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,320 one knows. Finally, I want $25 million. 807 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,520 Yeah, I'm free. You know what, all the end of 808 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,840 that, it's for a lot of people what they call in Chinese Jiang 809 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,760 Fuho, which is like the invisible millionaire. 810 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:26,920 Yeah, so. I would have been the invisible 811 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,400 millionaire. Right. 812 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,639 And I think that's the thing. That's where the sweet spot. 813 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,480 Yes, yes, yes. When you don't want people. 814 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,679 To know you don't be Lee Cashing. 815 00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:35,040 Yeah. You walk around. 816 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,719 You can't walk around. Even Alan Zieman comes like 817 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,800 people know who he is. Yeah. 818 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,760 You can walk around the central area, yes. 819 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,199 People probably have the same net worth anyway. 820 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,600 Yes, yes, true, but. Anywhere else, like no, I can't 821 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,360 go there, right? Yes. 822 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,760 So I think, yeah, you have to be well off enough, humble enough, 823 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,600 yes, but people know, yes, over that caliber, but they don't 824 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,800 feel like, Oh my God, look at this guy. 825 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. 826 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,960 That's the thing. So I think that was the whole 827 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,840 thing. So again, that was probably what 828 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,520 they were talking. About probably been you if I 829 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,280 didn't blast you so many times on the podcast for having many 830 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,480 apartments. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 831 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,040 It could have been you. Now I walk in the street like, 832 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,680 oh, it's that guy, that guy, that guy. 833 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,840 He has two hands and both hands hold keys. 834 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,200 He's like, OK, then, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 835 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,840 Didn't we look up your net worth before in the podcast? 836 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,280 No, it was on the website right? Weird, I'm like that's not true, 837 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,440 but if it is then I'm there's an account I'm not looking at. 838 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:24,800 Yes, exactly. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. 839 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,880 Maybe like, yeah, you should ask the people behind the website to 840 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,800 send you the account they found. Literally just go down to HSBC 841 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,520 like this guy how much yes and they're like not enough for. 842 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:37,680 I encourage people, I don't even know if that's the thing in Hong 843 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,120 Kong, but I encourage people you're not going to lie to, to 844 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,000 file a Freedom of Information Act to try to find out this 845 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,200 information, this information. The the problem is this is that 846 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,880 like my accounts are fine now with like the palms and 847 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,040 everything, but again, the the technically asset worth is in 848 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,560 the apartments, yes. So now it's down to the property 849 00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,520 price. Yes, yes, yes. 850 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,720 I'm quote, quote, quote network. You know, yes, yes. 851 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,080 Yeah, but the way things like. So technically every day I'm 852 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,800 losing money because the property is going down. 853 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,200 Oh. No, every moment. 854 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,280 And and and every day I'm losing money and you're doing fine. 855 00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:12,520 See what I mean? Yes, yes, yeah. 856 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,960 And that's the benefit of being poor everyone. 857 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,360 But Speaking of the of people who are doing well, we have a 858 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,200 fantastic message from our patron, Arash. 859 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,400 So if you guys remember Arash from a couple of weeks ago, we 860 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,880 did give him a shout out because he signed up for the whole year 861 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,840 with Patreon.

So that's a big deal. 947 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,240 And I'm hoping, I'm hoping, I'm hoping that that will open, 948 00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,880 yeah. That's why that's what opening 949 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,000 is. It's hoping to open. 950 00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:19,040 It's opening. Yeah, I'm hoping that that will 951 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,080 be the beginning of a lot of comedy. 952 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,320 Yes, in with the government, yes. 953 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:24,640 When I still with the government, they are still 954 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,520 thinking that comedy is not really a performance. 955 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,520 Yeah. Are you talking? 956 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,840 Are you singing? Are you, are you dancing? 957 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:29,880 What's going on here? Right. 958 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,880 So if that goes well, and obviously ticket sales is one 959 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,800 key aspect, but also me being funny is another one, Yes, so 960 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:36,720 is. It just you. 961 00:40:37,240 --> 00:40:39,480 It's just me. I every night I have one opening 962 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,960 act, one Chinese New comedian. I want to give them a chance as 963 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:42,400 well. Yes. 964 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,600 So other than that, I mean, The funny thing is that they're so 965 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,640 used to having like the dramas and big productions. 966 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,840 They're like, so what's your production? 967 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,600 I'm like me, yeah. Like, what do you want? 968 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,880 But isn't that good for them? They're like, Oh yeah, great. 969 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,360 But they're confused because they're like, I, yeah, we need 970 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,120 to have is this, but what is the backdrop? 971 00:40:59,120 --> 00:40:59,800 What's this? I'm like. 972 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,480 Secondly, nothing. Yeah, yeah. 973 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,680 Just have a light of. Yeah, it's fine. 974 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,200 And I was OK. You know what, let's try to work 975 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,080 things out. We'll have a little more 976 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,720 production value to it. Even though I'm like this is 977 00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:10,200 unnecessary but I get what you. Mean, OK, I mean, if they really 978 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,680 held Bent, but like, did you try to be like, hey, why don't you 979 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,960 see like, you don't have to do this and give me the money? 980 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,920 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like what? You try to do that. 981 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,480 There is that as well, but then it doesn't justify government 982 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:21,680 stuff. You have to explain why this Oh 983 00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:22,840 my God, I get it. It's fine. 984 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,200 I mean, at the end of the day, the thing, the way I look at it 985 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,160 is really just the fact that they even reached out because 986 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,160 initially I told. Them they just reach out cold. 987 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,160 So because I've worked with LCSD on other events as entities, 988 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,000 whatever they know of me, and when they contacted me, I said, 989 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,160 hey, we're going to be doing the Laugh Festival, Yes. 990 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,440 Why don't you consider doing the Laugh Festival? 991 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,720 Yes, You know, something like that, Yes. 992 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,480 The lineup of the best of Hong Kong and everything. 993 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,120 I literally wrote them a proposal. 994 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,880 Let's say Tim Chan, Jordan, love me all stuff and all these new, 995 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,080 new guns and everything, right? They're like, no, I just want 996 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:51,880 you. Yes. 997 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:53,320 OK. All right. 998 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,760 I guess we're going that way. I guess also if they researched 999 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,000 everyone, I think you're like probably the safest for like the 1000 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,560 cleanest and safest. Both Jordan and Tim have 1001 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,640 material that can be considered correct. 1002 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,080 You know, for the government is like. 1003 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,480 Yeah, we're not going there. Yeah, we're not going there. 1004 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,840 And but it's also funny because you don't have that, but you're 1005 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,080 also not like going there doing propaganda for them. 1006 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,480 I'm not. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. 1007 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,080 It's it's weird, but the good thing is, I look at it this way, 1008 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,920 is that the fact that they considered comedy? 1009 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,160 Yes. All right, This is the 1010 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,080 beginning. That's really good. 1011 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,240 And if I can open that one door, of course I don't need to go 1012 00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:28,760 back through that door again like my all means. 1013 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,960 Everyone please enjoy that door. Of course, yeah, we'll see. 1014 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,280 But I feel like that has always been kind of your role anyway. 1015 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,360 In a way, yeah. I've had. 1016 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,320 I've been blessed or grateful that I get these opportunities. 1017 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,800 And one thing I am proud of myself is that I'm able to 1018 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,520 execute with these kinds of chants where I'm like, all 1019 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,600 right, let me let me give them Peace of Mind that it'll work 1020 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,280 out. Yes. 1021 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:46,720 Yeah. Yeah. 1022 00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:47,920 Yeah. Because a lot of times it comes 1023 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:49,760 down to Peace of Mind because I spoke to them. 1024 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,480 They're like, you know, working with a lot of artists in Hong 1025 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,240 Kong, you always have the ones who are like, I'm too artsy for 1026 00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:58,280 this or that's how it works, or they're just disorganized. 1027 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:03,000 Lucky for me, my little bit hectic way of working allows me 1028 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,520 to be like, not really on top of things, but I will not miss out. 1029 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,440 Yes. Yes, you get it. 1030 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,200 Yeah, You stay on top of it like yeah, yeah, yeah, because. 1031 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,280 Be done.

Yeah. 1049 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's really bizarre because I 1050 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,560 do have a full collection of my own little post photos I've 1051 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,560 taken from other stuff.
