0:00 So, last night I was at this show. It was like a Beatles whatever. Oh yeah, the tribute thing. Tribute thing. And I realized that there are people in this world who take things way serious at times where I really don't. And so like, you know, they're playing like the hits and all that stuff. And they're it's basically like being played by a live band, right? But they're doing like violin, viola, and cello. And so this one chick, she I kept on turning to her and Nikki sat next to me and I kept laughing. And he's like, you know, what are you doing? They're laughing during the show. What the ████ And I'm like, this chick keep is like closing her eyes. And like taking it all Absorbing the Absorbing it. And like the whole concert? She's trying to imagine that like it's the actual Beatles. I don't know. I literally don't know. I can't get in her head to know. But I was like, wow. And I was like, you know, I'm like,
0:52 better than her at all. But I'm like, what makes her go like, oh yes. Ecstasy. >> That's literally what I was thinking. >> Okay. Cuz cuz one time at Coachella, it was Bon Iver. And me and Nina was rolling. And dude, we teared up. It was like one of we were just there just like >> [sighs] >> And so now I'm like, she's definitely rolling. >> But we're Okay, but were you between sets, were you still doing that same thing? Or were you able to pay attention to what's going on? >> I don't know how that works. Able to pay attention, but maybe that was really strong ecstasy for her. I don't >> Okay. Okay. Well, cuz between sets, she was like listening to what they're saying and all that stuff. And then once they get back to the music, she's like I'm like, how could >> [laughter] >> I could I could see that being valid, but I mean, I would kind of be like that. Maybe not as like big. >> No, I don't think you would be. >> Like I've been to breathing deeply and have big eyes like
1:42 >> I wasn't that close to her, but she was definitely like lifting her head and doing all >> Did she have white gloves with little >> [laughter] >> to the fingertips? >> No, but it was >> And did she do this? >> It was definitely like she's sitting front row letting everyone see her doing like this ████ >> like >> I thought that way, but that's because I'm in my own head. I'm like, you have to be performative be like that. I don't know that you >> No, some people I think some people could be about it. You know, like you could go to church, right? And then like you could be there and just as much into God, but then somebody in the front row is like they're just really faithful in that in that >> Or they go hallelujah. >> Yeah, and it's like all right, that's just your your expression of the same thing. >> people like doing that ████ Like is it that crowd? >> Only she's the only person doing it. >> You know what it's similar to? So like I get I understand it. It's like the thing where like I've been to concert halls and stuff where the feeling of like the vibration you get from like live
2:33 instruments is like it does feel like that. But if you're like doing it too big, it kind of feels like you want people to know that you appreciate it correctly. And that they >> Because because it reminds you of the and you'll see this way more than at classical concerts. If you go to any any jazz festivals or any jazz concerts, when they're playing something so ████ off the wall and you still see a guy go Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like get the ████ out of >> You don't know it, dude. >> Well, even if you do, that's just not >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> It's like too much. >> I totally get it. >> You know what I mean? Like even if you do, you're you're you're following it like if for the guys that really are these like Berkeley musicians that are that know it, they're really like they're more like dazzled by it rather than like You know what I mean? Like you just you
3:23 just want to >> Like they like they understand something that nobody else will. >> Exactly. They just want to show like oh, you're missing the real ████ and I'm getting it and like >> You guys in dance where you kind of do that too in a in a way where it's like oh, this is pure dance or not? >> know about do it, but I get it. >> Okay. Okay. >> Cuz like to me if I was this is so like nuanced now though. Like to me same thing it's not like I need to be like with the clearest blow up. It's when I see something that's very nuanced I'm like oh. But I'm not trying to be like yo, did you see that that nobody else saw? You know what I mean? It's just more like oh ████ that's different. That's >> The difference is that for like if you if you dance a lot, if a dancer does something that's meant to fake out another dancer, then you go, "Oh, s███." Cuz like they were going to go this way, but in your mind they flipped it. It's
4:14 like a turn of phrase in a joke. Like if someone had a set up in a in a stand up comedy and you think the punch line's going to be this and it's not, you're going to enjoy it more than a regular dude cuz he's never even heard the original version. >> Fair. >> So he's just like, "Oh, yeah, I guess that's funny." But then for dancers, but then also dancers are the worst ████ crowd anyway. >> Oh, okay. >> Everyone's just critical or >> They're just they're just like this. >> Are they haters? >> But one thing I can relate to moment is when I when I was breaking at that time very heavy and the the the area was all dark and we're in a cipher. And we're all just like looking at it, looking at it and one music come on, bong, and it's just one music is just fire, right? >> Yeah. >> When it's fire, everyone is up rocking, you know, accordingly to the beat and that's when you start feeling exactly like, "Oh, s███." Everyone's actually locked the ████ in. >> Like united. >> Yeah, you're you're actually united to
5:04 that beat and then you're watching someone get down and you're actually watching him flowing hella clean and you're like, "Oh, this guy is locked in, too." >> Yo, we we were just in Bart's car and what's on >> I just said it to you when I was like, "Every single time that song plays down in the black masses or whatever, but >> Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. >> A war of pigs. >> Yeah, yeah, exactly. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> That's one of those songs where for whatever reason, wherever it plays in life, it's the most epic thing that could happen in that moment. So I could I could give >> Like we're about to eat lunch. >> I'll give passes because I think the Beatles will do that 10 times over quick. It's not like she's doing this at like Quavo, you know what I'm saying? Like >> Yeah. >> It's the Beatles, so I'm still I'm going to give a lot of >> And it's live instruments, so yeah. >> Orchestra and the Beatles, you're like you're asking for orgasmic relief in music.
5:54 >> But to me it's about reading the room because I can see how like in dance there's a unified understanding amongst the audience that's like, "Yeah, you saw that? You saw it." Yeah, we saw that, right? Whereas like this example is one weird ████ that needs to do this ████ while everyone's just watching a show. >> Yeah. >> And I think that's the difference is like even like if everyone's in unison like laughing together or like they get it together, then you could be that cuz like at church you have hell of people doing this, it's not weird. But if you go to a Japanese church and you have one white ████ doing this in the front and everyone's like, we don't worship like that. That makes it ████ weird. >> sort of laughing eventually cuz it was so like wild that she was doing every song. It was like, brother. And then they also mixed in some Queen, too, and I was like, bro, nobody knows this Queen song. I was like, you're doing this to Another One Bites the Dust? >> [laughter] >> You know what that You know what Another
6:44 One Bites the Dust? >> BUT IT'S NOT A IT'S A GOOD SONG, NOT A great song. >> It's so similar to when So like you know when you have a like it's great that she's enthusiastically enjoying it. >> Of course. >> But then, you know when you have like a stand-up comedian and someone's laughing too hard at every ████ joke. >> Yeah. >> It becomes like Nutty Professor when he's when he's kind of like messing on on stage or he's like >> [laughter] >> Like that. It feels like that. It's like, yeah, that's the correct response, but now you just want people to look at you. You know what I mean? It's a little different. >> That's why I cuz I am self-aware as hell, but probably too much so. So I was like, why are you doing this? >> No, cuz you shouldn't interfere with others experience of the same thing. Like you >> I don't think she did she was, but I noticed her doing it and I couldn't stop looking. >> But if she was doing something like this, dude, >> She wasn't Okay, so I'm I'm exaggerating. She was not going this or accepting the ether or anything. She was
7:34 definitely like just wearing a ████ little dress and chilling out and like hands I think generally reserved or like at least here and like just closing her eyes, but she kept closing her eyes and tilted her head back like that. >> Oh, that's cool. >> next to her, if you one-upped her a little bit and and you were doing this, you think she will one-up you and like >> I can't tell. >> That's not as bad if it's just her head and eyes. >> No, I know, but exactly, but that's what a ████ I am that I'm like, come on, girl. >> Oh, cuz I thought she was doing this. >> No, no, no. >> Yeah. Yeah, I thought we were right here. She wasn't. >> That's not bad. >> Just exaggerating to make the point, but like no. >> I'll say that that's why I enjoyed in my youth things like lightning in a bottle or whatever because with the especially with like the music and drug culture it was like a always like a do you. It didn't matter how weird you look. It was like a get as weird as you want as long
8:25 as you don't ████ up my ████ It's like everybody just get as weird as you want. >> That's like the people that do the interpretive dance, right? They're just like oh I just feel it like this. >> Yeah, so I could I could again imagine I mean we're talking about the Beatles, you know what I mean? Like people used to it's like Michael Jackson level type ████ People used to faint by smelling the room, you know, like so to me I'm like in that space ████ it, dude, like >> she's not singing along. That's a 10 million times worse. >> That is cuz you're trying to enjoy you're like >> to hear that ████ and you got to hear her? >> You're off key. >> no words cuz it's all like ████ >> It's an orchestra? >> Even worse if she thinks she can catch where the lyrics go. >> [laughter] >> That would be funny. >> Do we agree though if it was Sweet Caroline you can sing? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Sweet Caroline. >> Yeah. >> Instrumental? >> You can still sing. >> Cuz at that point Neil Diamond's trying to get >> This was like a cover band?
9:15 >> This was like a yeah orchestral cover band. >> Oh, a catch. So there's no words. >> No words. >> Oh, wow. >> Yeah, so people were kind of humming. >> Yeah? >> It's just sort of like a you can't help it kind of thing. >> Well, if it's if it's like a just an orchestra thing, yeah, you know what? >> Okay. Steve, mind your business. >> Yeah, I agree. No, I agree, but I couldn't stop looking at her. I couldn't stop. >> Yeah, that's a you thing. >> I agree. >> Which is still funny. >> I called it out. >> You're you're allowed to though. That's also an allowed thing. >> When you go to a concert, right? And then people are just jamming out and then they're dancing and they're feeling it like are you judging them, too? >> No. >> Then what's Cuz I am too. But what's the difference between that and this? >> What do you mean? >> Is it like it's like if you're listening to orchestral version to me it's like listening to the karaoke version. >> Oh, I see what you're saying. >> It's just not that good. >> Yeah, it doesn't Yeah. >> ████ A, the universe is speaking to
10:05 my brain or whatever. You know, it's just like we're missing the words. We're missing the >> Maybe maybe you're >> It's like going to a school play for teenagers. >> That's what I That's what I'm saying. >> [laughter] >> This is >> And you're like you're like, "Oh my god, this version of Peter Pan." The exuberance. >> So they didn't They weren't even playing it well? >> It was No, it was very well done. It was very well done. But like to me it's just not the same thing as listening to the song. I wish they just played all the damn music. You know what I don't like nowadays, but I think it's just because I'm getting like older, is that you know when you like buy a concert ticket or whatever you go somewhere and it's like stadium seating or amphitheater style like it kind of raises, right? Whatever, you sit down >> concert's just starting, the people right in front of you have to stand up. >> I ████ hate that, too. ████ Cuz I purposely like concerts >> [laughter] >> where I could ████ sit now. I'm ████ old, dude. >> And And you stand up when it means something later. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> really amps up, right?
10:56 >> And by the way, I went to Paul McCartney earlier this year >> Oh, damn. >> and I ████ cried the whole time just about. >> [laughter] >> I'm a beta. But like >> ████ this guy, huh? >> You got to earn it from me, though. And especially too cuz we went in there and we [laughter] didn't think he would We thought he was going to do hella Wings. And he ended up doing hella Beatles and we were like, "Yo, he did so much Beatles." And I was even texting my family group chat cuz we're like, "Oh, he's probably doing hella Wings." But like he he did so much more Beatles than we thought. So it's like I know when I'm a ████ and when I'm trying to be a badass and this is not that. >> No, that's great, man. That's how you appreciate it. Yeah. >> That's not like a tribute cover show. >> No, that's true. >> And it's like he'll be gone soon. It's like how many more of these can you see, you know? It means a lot. >> And remember those screaming ████ you were talking about who were fainting and stuff? It's crazy that I'm in the same room with that same cat. Like
11:47 >> Yep. >> years later. It's insane to me. >> Like if if Michael Jackson >> Oh. >> I I think I would full-on I would be here. >> Yeah. >> I would be here. >> I would even >> peak of all the charges. >> I would be here and Steve would look at me and I'd be like, "F███ off, Steve. I'm rolling." >> Yeah. >> I want to give a shout out to my boy Anthony Lee. >> Woah. >> I'd be one of those ████ that faints. >> [laughter] >> You got six security guards got to cover like bring me out. >> Anthony remember Anthony remember all those ████ we bone together? >> [laughter] >> Why why we got why why Bart? Why? >> What song? >> What song would he be singing that we all faint to? >> OH OH MAN IN the mirror any one of them dude. >> Any of them honestly.
12:37 >> Any one of them. >> Human nature, man in the mirror but then but also the like beat it. >> Yeah. >> Oh >> Billy Jean. >> ████ Diana like uh whatever anything anything. >> So Michael is one of those guys where you could go to his concert and you could be bummed cuz you didn't hear one of his greatest hits cuz he doesn't have time. >> Yeah. >> [laughter] >> He's got to perform he's got to perform like 30 songs. >> That's crazy. >> He would you'd have to do so many like please come back encore encore and like he can't do them all. >> Come back for day two. >> [laughter] >> Damn two day concerts? Bro he would have to. >> That's too much. His discography his hits are too many. >> Beatles too. >> And I would do that for Daft Punk now. >> Really? They come back together and throw one concert. >> I missed my big >> They could play the music and we could wear the helmets and I'll be just the
13:27 same. [laughter] It'll be just the same. >> Michael's way too big. >> I'm I'm saying these guys are still alive. >> the joke of you go to Daft Punk IT'S MICHAEL. >> [laughter] >> DUDE. >> OH SICK. >> THAT'S WHERE HE'S BEEN. >> [laughter] >> HE takes off his mask it's black Michael. >> [laughter] >> Woah. >> And then he does all the Jackson 5 songs. >> That's sick bro. >> him with a guy who touched a lot of kids. >> Oh come on man. >> What if he drops the ████ sword? >> [laughter] >> In between songs. >> Damn that'd be so sick. >> Shout out to my boy Anthony Lee. >> [laughter]
