19:03 Yeah. Even the sweep kick was, you would put your hands up and then you would sweep him off his feet. that he had learned from all these different styles, and then he was presenting those styles Well, when we first started doing it, you had to stick to the style that you were practicing.

1:16:08 Well, I said let's start with cannabis first. We got a bad rap. of propaganda against it. They're just framed, framed posters. do especially when it comes to something like weed and you know people could say faces of snoop dole i love it everything is fine jo I'm having fun.

1:26:28 he like, you know, Snoopy, being all of that person that God made you. to do what he was doing because now i feel like i'm the hardest working man in show business and We've all seen people that were influenced by the early greats Live session. Jamie, back that up just from the very beginning. I mean, this is James Brown in Zaire before a Muhammad Ali fight.

1:29:39 James hit 16 in a row. Like, it's hard to. I mean, he had to have special pants. Oh, for sure. There's those guys made a lot of hit records for himself. and then turn around and then they become successful. The fact that it was resolved and now is, I mean, butcher's coming that's a legitimately good sign like uh for for culture that that things have

1:32:50 for everybody we're better when we're together absolutely and that happened a lot a lot of times was before high school and we were in the cafeteria and some dude like no bullshit like there was So it wasn't a good school And I was like It was so good That everybody in the hood learned every word to that song. Yeah. We're going to put all, I want to know what love is.

1:37:59 Kimo was gigantic. Like I've seen him move around. there's a guy coming up. But that's Willie. The rapper the rapper why that's what's crazy I feel like that about Wiz Khalifa. He's a beast. Let's match him up. I'm not boasting. See if you can find one that's more recent. So how often are you training? You don't know Ernie? because it's hard to do.

1:41:26 You know, somebody pulled that off in a UFC fight. survived it, but he got beat up afterwards. Oh. because he's a jiu-jitsu expert. He's one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. So he's a one. there was a bunch What's your favorite Barry's cool too what's your favorite cartoon of all time? People were getting shot in the face. No, that was Yeah, he always gets shot in his own goddamn face.

There's people that want the guns just for hunting Elmer's nephews Yeah The fuds The second amendment Is divided For personal protection What'd you expect They feel like there's a not-so-hidden agenda where people want to take away the right of regular people to have guns.

1:46:05 Mike is sharp. some sort of away from people you can manipulate that but the thing is like it sounds wrong but it ultimately this is what you can't do that in america it's too late you maybe could have done that like the way they did Have it for protection if needed. they don't want any problems. Live Aid. Yeah, Live Aid in London. so I'm always engaged with them,

1:49:51 it gets to almost like it stabilizes, I want to see a vision of the crowd again. Did they have any kind of monitors where the people could watch that were in the way, way, way back?

1:53:18 He more into it than anybody. 1991. And then from there, then you can start feeling the success because now I'm on my own. I got to do shows. didn't happen in rock and roll that happened more in the hip-hop community than anything And then, like, young guys coming up probably thought they wanted to support that narrative to ensure their position in the social chain.

1:56:19 We would joke around about guys from the cellar or guys from the comedy store or whatever, Yeah, because it's y'all's sport and y'all. and lives like a wonderful existence where like you you have managed to navigate the waters an example of what she wanted me to be so I love hearing that that's It's a video.
