Oakland from 87 was hell of wild. People, the culture, the music. Looking back on it, must have had something to do with that bright green glow. I'm not talking about the color of our underdog age uniforms. If you were there, you'd probably remember it, like an electricity in the air. I once even saw it coming out of some dude's eyes. No joke. Everybody in the town had a theory about where this costume.

green shit came from. Some thought it was a gift from aliens, others feared it was a sign of the end of the world. A basketball player even started a school that taught students to harness its power for justice against evil. Like I said, wild. But I never thought too hard on it though. To me, it was just one of those freaky things that made the base so new fresh. Welcome back, everybody, to a brand new episode of T.H.R. Present Stream Fiends. I'm your host, Brian. With me as always as my brother, Nez. What's up, man? Yo, what is up, everyone? We are back, finally. Now we promised this. This was like months ago, wasn't it?

Yeah, we gave on a stream. fiends episode at least one time this year so yeah so we'll give you one more before the years up maybe two but don't count on it uh but it was my turn this episode so tonight we're coming at you it came out this year but it says here um they probably started doing its festival run last year in 2024 but this is 2025's Came out April 4th of this year. Freaky tales. The underdog believes he can do the impossible. Defeat the bully. Selling up mixtapes to get out of the hood.

I can say with certainty, this underdog has seen his last day. Yo, wait, hold up. We gotta take it from the top. We got one more job for you. Sleepy Floyd. Warriors point card. His house is gonna be empty on game night. Yesterday was the last job. I did it.

I'm done. You're done when we say you're done. What happened next has been debated over the years. But this is the tale, as I know it to be. Open your eyes. I found it. Hi, I'm Sleepy Floyd. Boy,'s out there slicing people up with a sword.

Can you repeat that? Wasn't every day a story like this hit the town. But for those who lived through it, it became the stuff of legends. What happened here? You have no idea. An NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teenage punks, neo-Nazis,

and a debt collector embark on a collision course in 1987, Oakland, California. All right, that was Google, IMDB. four interconnected stories set in 1987, Oakland, California will tell about the love of music, movies, people, places, and memories beyond your

knowable universe, okay? Written and directed by Anna Bowden and Ryan Fleck and this stars Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis The Great and Legendary. Too Short. A J. Young Yo, a Jack Champion, Martin, Zach Roberts, Michelle Farah Hung,

a Laquan Antonio Barrett, a Kerry, it's either, I think it's Kerr or Kerr. Gilchrist. And a bunch of other people. You got Einhardt in there, Dominique Thorn. And a quick cameo from Oakland's own Marshawn Lynch

and Academy Award winner, Tom Hanks. Also, Oakland's own Angus Cloud, rest in peace. Oh, that's right, yeah, rest in peace. But Brian, when was the first time you had seen Freaky Tales? I caught it earlier. this year when it became available to rent and I love this movie I love the it reminds me of like a bay area version of pulp fiction yeah where all you got all these different stories but they're kind of interweaved somehow with one another and I like the ensemble cast you know you got a who's who of Oakland legends Marshaun Lynch too short Angus cloud then you got other people you don't you wouldn't even expect to pop up in this movie like

Pedro Pascal Tom Hanks Ben Mendelssohn and yeah it's on HBO Max I definitely recommend everybody check this out as soon as possible yeah check it out before the year is up maybe it'll make your best of list for those you you uh podcasters or whatever out there I saw this in the theater. Actually, I saw it twice. The first time I saw it was in Reno. And then the second time, I actually saw it down in Oakland when I was down there visiting.

But this movie, this all took place. I mean, the stories, they're embellished, but to get the movie point across and everything. You mean Sleepy Floyd wasn't a samurai? oh man that that reminded me to kill bill and all that yeah just replaced the crazy 88 with the Nazis yeah but this movie was fucking awesome I loved it the disease you saw it and told me dude you need go see you need to see it so I'm like all right I didn't know nothing about it I just knew it was set in Oakland in the 80s Pedro Pascal was in it And, of course, Ben Mendelsohn, he's pretty much typecast as a villain.

So I was like, all right, okay, cool. The guy that played Sleepy Floyd. Jay Ellis. Yeah. I've seen him in a ton of things. So nothing was really... He was in Top Gun Maverick, Escape Room, and some HBO series.

I've never seen that but man I was I was blown away by this movie on how good it was and like I said they far-fetched embellished the the stories and everything but like I said this a lot of the stories is this happened

that when I was living down there I was born and raised in Oakland California East Oakland represent and they shot a lot of this movie or some of it in parts of the neighborhoods I grew up in so I was like whoa I mean there there was a scene at the ice cream at Lord's ice cream that was dude like basically

across the street from my house the giant burgers that they used was maybe a mile or so away down MacArthur Boulevard close to Fruitvale right by house and that was the there was giant burgers all over Oakland um but that one seemed to be the old like the last one standing it's still open today uh there was one downtown that's gone there was

um another one way down on macarthur close to high street i think that was closed and they turned in it turned it into something else uh there was also there was one on east 14th not international unless die hard oh geez uh international east 14th uh and it'll always be he's 14th um there was one down there and that one's i think it turned into a little mexican burrito spot and then there was one in west oakland and that's gone and there was one downtown uh on telegraph that one's no longer there i think that was like the second to the last one uh before the only one that's on mccarthy close to fruitvale

and that giant burgers was that was our spot like in the movie everyone's there hanging out it was like that every weekend uh yeah shit jumped off every now and then but most of the time we were just there just to hang out in the parking lot eat our burgers and then and then head home because when we would go to shows and everything and the place in here at gilman street sometimes we would go to a punk shows and all that at gilman street and then before the night was over we always ended up at giant burgers eating hamburgers and eating fries and maybe a slice of pie and those thick-ass chocolate shakes that they had we always ended the night eating burgers um that was like the best spot because it was open late so we would always go there and yeah like

i said a lot of shit jumped off there man but majority of the times they everyone there just left us along because we were there all the time the owners the people that ran it they knew us they just called that a little skateboard gang because it was just me and all my skate buddies one time something was going off and these guys came up to man where are you guys from what are you guys doing here and a couple of them

from the neighborhood recognized us oh man they live around here leave them alone well all right cool after that they they left us alone they kind of called us the Indian skate crew because it was like me and my buddies we were a bunch of Native American guys that we have to go

every show we would go eat there so that was cool and the ice cream spot like i said that was right around across the street from my house uh and it's still open today uh what i did love is how how they made it in the movie is how it looked back in the day it looks different now inside but i mean lords is it's still going strong i i thought it closed but uh and i thought they just used it in this movie me they just opened it and then redid it inside and no but it's It's an operational business still going. And a lot of spots that they were cruising around in in Oakland, it was funny because there's a scene at the end and we'll get to it. I was like, where the hell is this guy going?

And he like took the long way where he was headed. I was like, what's happening here? But if you're not from the Bay or Oakland generally, you wouldn't know. anything but and even the theater where the film starts out the legendary grand lake theater it's on um uh shit i don't even know that the streets grew up there um that that theater is still going strong it's like one of the last original theaters from oakland that's still open that's open and operating and they show movies there they actually had the premiere there at grand Lake Theater. And I mean, that being like the first thing you see on the screen,

uh, once the movie was going on, I was like, hell yeah. And the second time I saw this film, I went to that theater and saw it. And it was awesome. It was an awesome experience. Uh, when the movie started, everybody clapped when, uh, the beginning, we see we have a narration, uh, from too short. Um, they clapped after that. After, it did, this one. movie was broken up oh go ahead real quick not to get off subject but how did you feel about too short being in the movie but not playing himself he did that version of him was much younger too short 87 too short he's what um in his 50s he's got to be pushing 60 i would say i mean we could have suspended disbelief i just it would have hit different if would

have seen too short in that freestyle battle he's 59 let's say 57 or whenever whenever they filmed this act they actually filmed this like a while ago but um COVID happened and everything and they couldn't put it out and I think they were trying to find someone to like a distributor to put it to put it out so it took a while this movie sat on the shelf for a while that's probably how they got pedro then that was before last of us and and fantastic four and mandolarian and all that yeah because yeah i mean pedo pascal's been like pop it up and everything and when he was in this i was kind of like whoa i mean that's cool i mean but i mean i i everything about this film was oakland the the events that happened in it not so much the end with the big old battle with the

Nazis, but I like to believe that happens. Yeah, but it was awesome. I mean, I really loved everything that was going on here. It says it was announced August of 2022 when they were going to do it. And then filming began on November 14th of 2022. So they filmed this all during the, how long did COVID? It's still out there, everyone, I don't care what anyone thinks. the actual pandemic yeah when when was locked out in 2020 right yeah 2020 almost

22 I think yeah so this was towards the end of 22 when they started uh actually filming it and but yeah man everything about this film was awesome I loved it and it just made me miss home I mean I live the little Hicktown that I live in yeah I mean I mean I could afford a house here and this is where my wife is from. So we got family everywhere. My grandsons were born here. My youngest two sons, they were born here. So this is home for them.

I mean, I just live in this town. Home to me and will always be Oakland, California. And I mean, a lot of shit jumped off there since my time there growing up and everything. but that's still home i love going back there going back there next week and i just love it man i still have family living on my my youngest and my older brother lived down there and my niece and nephew uh my youngest uh brothers uh kids and a lot of the people i grew up with some are still holding it down so i mean i wish i could be there but i mean family came first and plus it was just it was just too expensive uh where we're at

I mean, my wife finished college, and then I started my job at the airline. So at least I was lucky enough I was able to transfer to Reno to work there. But there's been a ton. It's only been twice to Oakland. Yeah. What were you doing there? First time we went to the Oakland Swap Me. Which one?

It was like a two level one. It was in a building? Yeah. do you remember exactly where there was there was like a few spots that had that i remember there was a nice little taco spot close by that's everywhere man it was this was like 20 years ago yeah um they had a bunch of places like that um there was one kind of in the neighborhood where we grew up and i'll go in there and buy those little bootleg cassette tapes yeah that's one of my main purchases yeah

the bootlegs stuff the tapes and movies and everything but this movie was Oakland the whole movie and like I said there's been tons of movies that were filmed in Oakland some people don't know

that the Matrix reloaded the second one they that shootout scene at when they were chasing uh Neo and them in the gang when those those two ghost twins or whatever the albinos yeah that was that whole that a lot of that gunfight racing around downtown was in downtown Oakland um uh the principal we did that one didn't yep that was filmed in

oakland um uh the old school 70s black exploitation film the mac that was filmed there and that's we got to do that one day yeah i have it on vHS i've not seen that movie in a long time but I mean everything in this film and again seeing it at Grand Lake Theater with with an Oakland crowd it was amazing because I mean everyone clapped

and cheered and they did they did represent a lot of Bay Area music in this film other than too short I mean to call it freaky tales one of two shorts legendary songs from his Born a Mac album

I was like whoa man this is crazy. I mean, I didn't know he was one of the producers as well, as well as Marshawn Lynch and Tom Hanks as well, too. So that was the big shocker when Tom Hanks popped up in this. I had no idea.

Is he from the Bay Area? Yeah, he is. So, I mean, I loved what they kept saying when they were saying, yeah, they're one guy in that mermaid movie, he's from he's from there. He used to sell hot dogs at the, at the A's game.

And he went to my high school, Skyline High School, represent Go Titans. It looks like you were born. You ever meet too short? Yeah, a few times. Yeah, I met him too. When they came up here, I met him and Mr. Fab and Keeke to sneak. This is Tom Hanks is born and conquered, but that's right over the hill. But he was living in Oakland when he went to my high school.

he actually when my brother graduated he he was one of the the speakers that spoke and it was all before his academy awards and everything

but even before he knows you're alone no I was after but I mean yeah this movie man it's Oakland and everyone that lived there

was like couldn't believe that this awesome film was shot there and the last time and one of the last times i was there um i went and drove around uh because uh the video store that they used in this i was like where the hell is this uh i recognized i knew it was somewhere downtown and i was driving around and then i figured it out it was on actually on telegraph uh it's not a video store and but uh the the the place next to it uh some kind of jasmine's hair

or whatever that's still there that business is still there I don't remember it being back then but for them to at least keep that there I thought that was really cool and everything they obviously they just that that place was probably empty and they just used

it and turned it in a little video store and everything but there was some things I'm like hey wait a minute and the the Gilman Street that they used how that ain't the gilman but i mean people that aren't from the bay area but gilman street was in berkeley actually that punk club um from what i understood

they couldn't use the real they were gonna use the real place but the place is all that that neighborhood is gentrified now because when back in the day when that place opened when we used to go every weekend pretty much it was all junky down there hobos and just drug addicts and all that and it was kind of like a warehouse district but then once all the gentrification of the Bay Area

it's electric bikes and yeah there's those little yuppie micro brew places across the street and there's one right next to it's they yeah it's

it's all that's why they didn't use they I don't know actually where they shot that I think they said they shot in L.A., whatever, the place that they used. But, because then we're like, yeah, because the first chapter in this, it was broken up into four chapters. Yeah. And the first chapter was Strength in Numbers, the Gilman Street strikes back. And like I said, I didn't know nothing about this movie. And I was like, Gilman Street.

And then there was, they showed a show going on there. and the band that was playing was Operation Ivy. It wasn't the real Operation Ivy. They actually broke up. 88? 88? I think it was, no, no, no. 89, I think.

Maybe beginning of 90. I actually went to the very last, for those of you, they even know who Operation Ivy are. They're from Berkeley. They disbanded and, um, Tim Armstrong he was a guitar player

he left that band and then they started rancid for those of you that know who they are and um the Gilman Street there was their last ever show as as Operation Ivy

and I was listening to something and they were saying yeah that was that night was one of the opening bands was Green Day it was their well technically their second show because the night before they played at somebody's party

as Green Day and I was like shit I was there I mean I didn't we didn't know who Green Day was then I mean they're huge now but I don't know who the band was they were just acting as Operation Ivy

and then there was another band in there I want to say they were going to say it was MDC but I can't remember. I was another band from the punk band from the Bay Area. But the Gilman Street,

the club, it was a cool place. It was, there was no alcohol, no drugs or anything. There was none of that. In the movie, we see a big sign.

No alcohol, no drugs, no fighting, no sexism, no racism. None of that. It was a place that was like,

well, everybody was welcome, no matter, your lifestyle, your gender, or whatever. It was a fucking cool-ass place. We never had to worry about anything.

Everybody was cool. And in this film, they had that big fight with the Nazis, which actually did happen there. Not so much the bloody battle in the film. But, yeah, I mean, you look up, you do your history on Gilman Street. That did happen. And a couple of me and my buddies, we were there. We were down the street from the Gilman one time.

I wasn't there that night when all that happened. But if I was, I definitely would have been out there whooping ass on some Nazis. But some skinheads. But there was some guys we got into at one time, the colonists, dirty Mexicans. And I remember looking around and I was like, who are you talking to? I don't see any Mexicans standing here. It was me and a couple of my other native buddies. And then those guys were talking shit.

And one thing led to another, man, we had to represent and whoop that ass. So, but it just everything about this movie, other than it just made, it just made me miss home i was like fuck man because i was just oh my god and i once it started streaming i showed my uh wife and my son and uh they were like wow i was like it back then i said it's thing embellished the the stories even my brother texted me after he saw my youngest brother he was went there was skinheads in the bay area or like nazi skinheads i said yeah there were some they were quiet um they don't they don't there come out now yeah there's some up here yeah so but but yeah again everything about this movie

was always hardcore and i loved it i mean just the beginning itself we get too short narrating i love the music because it was like old school 80s synth type of stuff i mean even the the actual intro was look like some little cheap VHS special effects so I mean it said what did it say actually in the beginning in Oakland

1987 was hell of wild the people the culture music looking back on it must have had something to do with that bright green glow we'll get to that in a minute and I'm not talking about the color of the underdog A's fuck you

Vegas anyway I'm not talking about the color of our underground A's uniforms if you were there you'd probably remember it like an electricity in the air I once even saw it coming out of some

dude's eyes two shorts talking all this everybody in the town had a theory about where the cosmic green stuff came from some thought it was a gift from aliens others feared it was a sign of the end of the world a basketball player even started a school that taught students to harness its power for justice against evil that was the cytopics thing i i don't assume if that was real i don't remember any of that cytopic stuff but well what made me laugh is there probably is fools like

that there now. But Jay Ellis as Sleepy Full-O Floyd, that was a real character. The Theo's the one that gave me the history. I'm not that big of a basketball.

Sleepy Floyd was in this movie. Yeah. When they were at Giant Burgers, he was there. Yeah. Was he like sleeping or something? He was just kind of hanging out there. I'm surprised they didn't mention

MC Hammer in this or him pop-up in it. That would have been really. I would have thought. like the the second segment with the with the female rap group I would have thought that would have been like the conscious daughters or some some somebody from Oakland conscious daughters in the 90s well this could have been the beginning of the conscious daughters but I mean that that was a real duo um one of my friends

like you don't remember them and then he started playing songs I went oh okay now I remember but they were like legends in the bay but i don't think they really like blew up like like conscious daughters did um but this side topics thing what what did you think of it what i was kind of confused on wait what is this i didn't know if they were trying to make this like a sci-fi element to it i didn't i'd never heard of it so i didn't know if this was like an actual thing sleepy floyd was into or I don't know, it kind of felt like some kind of Scientology thing. Yeah, it just kind of seemed

more because it would pop up throughout the movie. Yeah, they mentioned it a lot in it. And then it comes into play. It kind of comes into play in all, every story. Because they were talking about that green glow that you'd harness

to fight evil. Because I mean, every time something happened when when good was battling evil that glow would come up kind of just reminding me of the golden glow and uh last dragon there um so yeah that's when the the movie actually starts these are the tales the freaky tales can't say the rest people get mad but that i don't care what anyone says born to mac from too short that's that that was my uh ride a pass that was my main i listened to that album and just lived by it it's a good no but as a young kid uh that was pretty much strictly punk and metal and thrash and all that and everything

two short came out because a friend of mine goes here man listen to this tape and it was one of uh two shorts uh special request tapes uh that he did way back in the day uh his demo stuff and everything and I remember actually hearing demos of freaky tales before it actually came out on the album and everything and I just remember hearing it I mean like these were just dirty rhymes dangerous music and it was amazing

I mean my favorite song that I know front to back is dope theme beat I remember hearing that song and like what it just blew my mind when I heard that like is this guy saying this nasty as shit in it I mean it's it's total disrespect and different times in the 80s but anyway I mean too short is my all-time favorite MC don't get me wrong I love MC Hammer

and I love a lot of other Bay Area rappers but too short man I mean that that fool just spoke to me I remember we were it was late at night on East 14th we went to Flint's barbecue you um way down in like the deep east oakland and uh we were sitting there and then this car pulled up in the front i just remember oh that's a cool ass car and we were sitting there waiting for our order uh well we weren't sitting there's you got to just stand there get your order and get out he came walking in with a bunch of dudes and uh everyone was like ah even the owners of the place oh short what's up what's up he's like yeah what's up y'all he came in just went around the room dapping up everybody and I was like it just that was the first time I'd met him no cell

phones no cameras or anything I he was like what's up man how you guys doing I was like yes I didn't really talk to him but that just like I was like starstruck and like I mean when you're listening to albums and everything you think of these famous people how often do you get to meet someone that famous i mean he's still famous today and just for me like like i said my favorite mc from from oakland i was just like uh what's up man and that was it i couldn't think of anything else to say but he is short he's a short guy he was a little small dude back then but anyway yeah the uh the fight for uh strength of numbers the for Gilman Street. We were at Grand Lake Theater, the historical Grand Lake Theater.

All right. There's a, there's a, on the marquee, what I loved is that the lost boys, they were, the kids that were in the movie came out watching, from watching the lost boys. There's a part of the marquee that says the historical Oakland or theater or whatever. no that's there now but none of that was there back then I mean we all knew it was an historical theater but it wasn't like

on the marquee or anything it might have set it inside somewhere but no that that wasn't there ever because it was always just what the movies were playing and also I mean they come out this is when we're introduced to

Tina lucid and oh I cannot remember that for that last guy's name or the first guy uh oh Cole

Colrabby I think that was his name they come out and they're just talking about lost boys and everything and then here comes this pickup truck with these neo-Nazi guys in the back and they're like yeah

if you this and that and some other words yeah other words and we're also So we were not introduced to them yet, but we're, uh, in, is it entrice? Entice. Entice. Barbie.

Uh, they were also outside because they were also talking shit to those dudes. But everyone, they were just all looking at them and they were just like the skinhead guys, well, I fuck you. And then these guys were fuck you. And they just kind of came the finger. So end up, uh, they end up leaving, uh, Grand Lake and they go to, to Gilman Street. and um the operation ivy is jamming everyone's having a good time i loved how they filmed this like the camera guys walking through uh the club i had some issues with this other than it wasn't gilman street fools were stage diving and and all that there's a huge sign that someone like

just painted on the wall uh on state or on the wall by on behind the stage. No stage of diving. It's been there forever. And these guys, I mean, security was really strict. If you got out of hand, they kicked you out. If they smelled alcohol in your breath, you couldn't come in. I mean, it's, we, did we drink before we're going in?

Of course we did. Yeah, we were underage, but, you got a pregame. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I love this scene, though, because they go walking in. Everyone's having a good time. The camera's slowly moving through. And I liked how they worked in the camera guy. Like he's walking through the crowd where the show's going on.

He gets bumped and falls over and the camera goes with him. And we see some guys riding by on big wheels. That's, I mean, that's the type of shit that happened there. You see, I remember going there one time and seeing a guy in the circle pit riding a unicycle. Oh. And everyone was, yeah. And that, there was a couch over by the little snack bar. And it was cool.

Like I said, there was no alcohol or anything. The whole club was run by volunteers. That was really cool. Like, you can come sign up. You couldn't just show up. Oh, I want to volunteer. You had to go to the meetings and really be a part of the Gilman Street community. Yeah, to be serious about it.

Yeah, you couldn't just. well i want to see this show tonight and i'm going to come volunteer so i can watch the show now it didn't work like that you had i mean i had a lot of friends that i've never did it i just when i go there i just want to see the show i don't want to work so but anyway by the snack bar there was uh there was this old couch and i just remember my buddy rob uh black gentleman really good skateboarder he was always skating and doing tricks onto the couch and they didn't care I mean it was like that I remember going in there one time

and everyone was playing frisbee in between bands and everything so I mean it's such a cool place a place is still open today if you ever down there and there's always shows every weekend

sometimes there would be semi big bands there but a lot of it was just either local talent or people just driving through on their little tours I mean bands from all over the place Kate played Gilman Street and a lot of bands that played there became big.

Operation Ivy was huge. Rancid was big. Green Day was huge. A.F.I. During my emcee in days, shit, I got to perform there at Gilman Street. I was up there with one of my buddies Heath. He had his group called Cultural Rage. We got up there.

We did spit in some rhymes. another Berkeley legendary hip-hop group Outsla Nation they played there and I jumped up on there and did some songs with them so I mean everybody who was a somebody I'm not saying I'm a somebody but everyone who was someone in the music industry played Gilman Street at one point

I mean Green Day today man I don't know man also Gilman is they had especially back in these days if you became famous like Green Day that you couldn't play there anymore they were like really this is strictly indie bands

that want to come up they didn't want mainstream bands playing there I don't know why but that was just that's how a lot of people were like I mean it was it was crazy on how hardened and serious they were about their club

but anyway uh yeah so i love this scene everyone's having a good time they're all sitting there doing their thing and then we get a scene of some wild nazi skinhead dudes uh at at their house and the house party mean these guys are like the the doc martins the red laces the red suspenders the the the the hitler salute and all that they're in their pre-gaming doing their thing uh and they make their way to gilman street and this is a lot of this was true that it is documented that this happened that they just showed up went into gilman street and just started causing havoc in there starting fights and

basically just pretty much trying to wreck the place and making the band start and stop and that's what happened here we see these guys come in and they just ruin it for everyone and they started beating up people in the club and everything and everybody was like nah this this can't happen again so that our our main characters in this story they're like we we all need to do something about this that was kind of a small little side love story between uh tina and lucid yeah so she i believe she was korean i think and um he obviously had feelings for her and i she did too but she wasn't as obvious as he was i i did like to see when they're sitting there dinner and her family are speaking korean and they're talking shit uh about that guy so i like

how he's laughing like he understands what's going on yeah but um back at gilman street everyone is having their meetings talking about them we can't let this happen again we can't let these guys come in here and ruin our place and and just our safe place like i said that's what gilman street was it was a safe place where everybody was welcome no matter what i mean there was times that they did kick some people out because of them not following the rules and and everything and i mean there of course there was there's racism everywhere but uh people just if somebody said something that nobody liked they would point hey that guy he needs to go so but all these guys and gals they were like we need to figure out what we need to do

should we get the police involved and they're all like oh no hell no we don't want no police because one guy's been like you know we can get some off-duty police that would come work this and uh they were talk or the guy he goes we can get some off-duty oakland police and everybody was like oh hell no hell no um yeah back in the day the oakland police department And they they had a bad rap for some ill shit that they were doing. So I never had an issue with Berkeley cops. Only one time just we were skating at the university. And then they told us to go back to Oakland.

But Oakland PD, yeah, fuck, they chased us everywhere. I mean, a lot of it was for skateboarding and just being stupid. But I could see why they didn't want Oakland cops there because, yeah, especially back in these days. I mean, there was no body cameras. There was no cell phones. And the cops could do pretty much whatever they wanted to you and get away with it. So I don't even think there was cameras in the cars back then. So, I mean, not like today where everyone's got a video camera and you're putting in your pocket.

So anyway, so these guys are figuring out, what are we going to do? Are we just going to whuss up and not do nothing? Are we going to fight these assholes? And everyone was like, fuck that, man. we're going to fight so they were just kind of coming up with a game plan on what they need to do i like the one guy that was like you know that goes against everything we we stand for fighting yeah but then he was like i'm not going to be the only one voting against beating of nazis i mean i get it and like i said man i mean a lot of these people that went there were

i wouldn't call them tree huggers but i mean they just didn't want they didn't want it they were against violence but i mean sometimes you just got to do it i mean you got to keep it real to defend your place so there's a whole montage of them gearing up and making weapons and everything um there's a guy that's welding together uh garbage can lids and everyone making some kind of swords or whatever just anything to to help them protect so um lucid and uh was it tina they are the i think it was Tina was a one that was doing the cytops thing a lot of meditation and all that i mean side topics i mean people may think it's a cult and weird and crazy but it was it was more of just kind of in a positive

enlightenment to yourself and like they said you can use that power to against evil. So I did like that. Would I do it? Nah, I don't have the attention span to try to sit there and meditate. My mind's always thinking of craziness. So,

was the the the Sytopics guy in their commercials? Was he as someone? They showed an Asian guy with long hair. I don't know.

Because there was a a lot of known people in this movie that just had quick cameos. Like Tim Monstrung from Operation Ivy and Rancid. He was in it. He was in one of the Saitopics commercials. He

would, he popped on. I was like, oh, hey. So it's really cool. I'm sure he was a part of the production crew. Anyway, Lucid and Tina they're sitting in a restaurant. And from what they said, this restaurant was in San Lorenzo or San Leandro somewhere.

I don't know. I don't really know. I know where San Leandro and all that is, but I don't really know what's around there other than the malls and everything. But Lucid gives Tina a gift, and it's like a leather band with spikes all over it, basically here. When we fight these Nazis, use this. So we get to the club. Well, real quick, that's our first shot of Pedro Pascal. in a movie. Yeah, he walks by and goes and sits at a different booth. Yeah. I mean, all this stuff intertwined and comes back together. So, like, yeah, Pulp Fiction. We got Josh. He's outside. He's talking to

camera, the black gentleman's name. He's like, they're asking, you ever been in a fight before? And they're like, no. And the black guys, like, I've been in two, but I lost both of them. So. But the other guy, Josh. Oh, the black gentleman, his name was Greg. Josh is kind of like, I don't fight. I mean, I just came here to help so I can get to watch free shows. And he goes, now I'm like, head of security.

So they're standing out there talking about that. Tina and Lucid, they kind of show up and they're on the phone. We just kind of see them in the background. Then all of a sudden, we see this deep-ass crew of something. skinheads walking across the street and they kind of stop and they're looking at the club one of the guys runs

back inside and goes they're here it's on and then the band stops everybody grabs all their weapons and they go outside um and this is when they gear up for battle everyone comes out man they got hockey studs bats

garbage cans lids and all kinds of shit that they made and they're all just they're having a big stared out of and then all of a sudden one of them's like ah and then they just like like in braveheart they all just run in charge each other got that slingshot in that guys are well the main skinhead dude he starts saying some racial stuff and uh derogatory terms towards uh the gay community and then yeah everyone's like fuck that yeah that one guy man i mean those slingshots i mean

hit you in the right spot. Those things can kill you. Surprise this guy didn't guy. Because he's the first one that gets hit. He gets shot in the eye with, I don't know, a rock or whatever. But before that, I think it was lucid. He's like, die, Nazis come. And then everybody's, ah, they just rush their skinheads.

And like I said, they really went for it with the blood and gore in this movie. because they just all go charging the skinheads and everybody starts fighting and battling. Guys are getting sliced. Dudes are getting hit in the mouth and blood shooting everywhere. Someone got sliced with a crutch. Yeah.

It's just a big old fight out in the middle of the street on the actual Gilman Street. Well, not in this movie, but that's where it did happen. One guy got sliced in the gut and it looked like gallons of blood went, yeah that's the one with the guy with the crutch yeah so they they ended up whooping ass on all these nazi guys and they all just take off even tina her her little uh arm band with all the spikes came in handy she like stabbed it right in this guy's through

so everyone all the nazi guys they go running and uh they take off i mean guys were throwing like Maltov cocktails at the Nazis. One of them gets like set on fire. No, that ain't happening. But the Nazis wuss out and they all go running off, the jump in the truck, taking it off. Everybody in the street, yeah, hooting and hollering and cheering.

Then they go back inside and continue the show. Everyone's having a good time. Lucid and Tina are kind of just staring at each other. And then they get their little warm embrace in the middle of the circle pit. they start to kissing and I like this camera shot it pulls up top and there's like a spotlight on them everyone's raging uh in the circle pit and um the i think the band was supposed supposed to be mdc i think and they were doing a uh a black flag cover uh rise above uh probably my favorite black flag song so that was the end of chapter one and then that's when we get to uh chapter

two don't fight the feeling and this is when it's the um the story of uh barbie and entice um their their group the little duo group they were called danger zone and from what i understood this that that did happen and them getting up on stage and battling too short in this but the beginning of this story it starts off again at grand lake and because they come out and they're talking about the movie and everything and then we I like real quick I like how they had the same conversation

the first group did from the first chapter about why didn't the grandpa tell them about all the vampires I mean even when I first saw that I remember Mike Mike took me to see Lost Boys I'm like

how come Grandpa didn't tell him I think everybody came out of the theater with that question but they're doing their thing and yeah this is when the Nazi guys come by and they really start they give it to them

they're talking shit and everything so but they're kind of like yeah what do you want to do you want to go to Giant Briggers and they're like yeah let's do that but before that

a young gentleman Lenny G he was a he was a real person he was talking to them like hey man you guys are from Danger Zone and then he's kind of telling me yeah man

shorts doing the show at um i can't remember the name of the club and that club was the was a real was a real place i don't know if they actually used uh the the place for it in the film but uh he's kind of tell him like yeah short's doing this thing and he's trying to he wants to work up and bring some some local talent uh on the stage with them to battle and they're kind of like like really for sure you you bullshit and they're like nah man he goes i'm real so they're kind of all right so he basically tells them uh when and where to be so they but they were um i think it was enticed the show which goes how much money are we getting for this and he's like uh you get

whatever so they're kind of like all right cool but really quick i mean they do say well let's go to giant burgers and get something to eat i had a little gripe with that i mean don't get me wrong i mean i would travel to giant burgers as well but i don't even think a block of away from the grand from the grand lake theater i mean the kFC was right there and right next to kfc was a bank bank of america and then next to that was the legendary quickway for all you that they grew up in the bay and oakland and you know quickway it's not quickway anymore it's some some vegan spot now and they tried to bring quickway back but i don't know it just it just didn't work out um i liked it they used it in uh blind spotting they they created one uh in that

they called it was called quickway and everything um but i was thinking quickway's like right there why you guys going way on the other side of town to to go to giant burgers but again giant burgers is it's amazing it's nothing fancy it's just a little greasy uh hamburger joint and steak fries and they were all really known for their pies I'd have a piece of pie every now and then but most of the time I usually got fries and a shake and I'm lactose intolerant so

I had to hurry home after drinking that shake but I was like thinking why they go to Quickway but the only thing that quick way that I enjoyed was the fries and the shakes I always got that If I left the Grand Lake I went to Grand Lake Theater

Every weekend Because on Saturday and Sunday They did 50 Cent movies That started at 10 in the morning And it was just all a bunch of old movies And I got to see Creature from the Black Lagoon In 3D for 50 cents One of those times

So it was good I went to so many movies there And everything So And when I'd go home I would just walk to quick way Get a little bag of fries And just walk home

or sometimes I have my skateboard and just skate back home. But, all right, yeah, this is when we're introduced to the guy, Ben Mendelssohn's character. We don't know who he is at this time. And then he's in the parking lot of Lord's Ice Cream where Entice and Barbie work. And again, watching this for the first time, and I was like, dude, they really made, lords look like how it looked back in those in those times in the 80s um we're the where the

where it is it's in a small little shopping center there's a liquor store there's lords there was a dry cleaning place we did have a video store there at one point it didn't last very long and then there's a little uh auto shop was used to be a gas station but they just turned in a little auto garage and there was a photo mat for those you that remember photo mat they had a small little uh little like house little hut where you rolled up there was like a dry through you were rolled up there dropped off your film and and took off i remember that place because we would skate it all the time because the the curbs on it were real uh that paint was really thick and made the curve's really slick.

They didn't, I figured, I mean, if they wanted to keep it really real, they would have made one and put it in the parking lot, but they didn't. So anyway, the guy, he goes in, and he's just a creep talking to them about ice cream and everything and basically being racist towards the end-sex. Yeah. saying he he likes to go for the dark stuff every now and then yeah

I mean he's just a total creep and not to say all cops are like this but I have seen some cops that were like this it was a little funny though because in this scene when he's in there talking to them

being all creepy and they make him an ice cream cone it's all hell of small there was one lady that worked there and when we get ice cream cones she would make it like that and we'd like this is it because usually the other workers in that i remember there was an older mexican lady that worked in there she would hook up our cones fat if we pay for a single scoop but she always doubled it up and made it hella big so i remember we yeah we would sit out in the parking lot eating our ice cream but anyway so he goes in there he's being a creep to these girls and

they're just they're not having it they're at they're at their he's pushing every button and making them them pissed off so they finally just give him his ice cream and then he walks out and then when he gets to the car

uh too short is sitting in the car he was a cop um they just have him down as narrator he gets in he goes where's my rocky road and he goes they don't have anymore he goes well thank you

you for the get me something else and he's like no yeah he went no and then the caravan of the two short bitch and then that's that's it for too short so we get entice and um barbie they're heading downtown uh to the club where two short was performing another thing uh is just a nitpick The buses they had in it, A.C. Transit, shout out to them. The seats didn't look like that. Obviously, they couldn't get an old bus to film.

They just got one that kind of closely looked like how those buses looked back in the day. But I remember sitting there watching it. When I was watching in Oakland, there was someone going, buses didn't look like that back in 87. And I went, thank you. hey man you do what you got to do oh and there was another thing that i threw out there when i was talking to some other dude in the theater when they come out of grand lake theater the bus stop uh 57 bus stopped right there there was a uh like an enclosed uh seat there like a bench or something uh bus stop bench um and i was like and 87 that thing wasn't there it was just a

bench and you and you sat there but they nipicks i mean if you're not from there you wouldn't You wouldn't know all that. So anyway, they go downtown and they go to, what was a club called? Sweet Jasmine's, I think. Oh, Sweet Jimmy's. It was a real place. I think this was the real spot. I don't know.

I didn't hang out in this area and the shows I was going to. They weren't playing at Sweet Jimmy. so but they get there and they're trying to tell them they're like yeah i mean uh we're on the list and the the dormant's kind of like you ain't on the list and they're kind of like what entice is kind of like motherfucker man uh and they're like are you sure we're not on there he looks and he goes well you're not on the the guest list you're on the uh entertainment artist list so they're kind of like oh yeah hell yeah so he goes yeah just go around the side and uh they'll let you in so they go in and they're looking around when they go into one room they open the door and uh two short is in

that going down on some chick so they're kind of like all right what are you going to do so they go into the club and they meet up with um not sweet jimmy what's this guy's name lenny g he's got he's kind of tell him yeah man this is up man short's gonna go up there do his thing then he's going to bring you guys up but in tithers was like are we getting paid for this and goes yeah you get that they gave him like i don't know five percent of the door or whatever he said so they're like all ready and they're geared up and i mean i feel it man when before you go up on stage they're like uh they're a little nervous so um i don't know who this gentleman was uh that played too short a demario simba driver i don't know who he is oh simba is he yeah he's like a

yeah he's he's known for his lyrics okay um does not look like t short at all no he does not but he was rocking the old school satin um oak oak oakland a's not this bullshit Vegas now or sacramento or wherever the fuck they are and he had her Oakland Raiders had on well at this time they were down in L.A so I think When did they go to L.A.? They haven't you going to make me look. Los Angeles Raiders. They went to L.A. in 82.

Okay, yeah, well, 87, they were Los Angeles. I didn't have a football team when they were down there. grew up Oakland Raiders fan and then they left at 95 and and then they left again bitches anyway so too short is up there doing this thing and then when he's done with a song they're like hey I got uh some artists we're gonna bring up uh but before that happened there's uh they're over by the bar there's a tv going and uh site topics uh commercial comes on This is when we see What's his Nuts from Rancid. He's talking on there, talking about it and everything.

So the girls are like, all right, man, we're going to do it. And then T-Shuars talking about, yeah, man, we're going to bring up danger zone. And they're going to battle. So they're like, they're scared. But then he goes up there and he starts battling them. From what I understood, this did happen. this battle between too short and danger zone did happen

so I had to look it up Simba is not from Oakland he's from San Francisco boo one side of the bay only that was me growing up that's what I learned

so I learned out in them streets so but yeah this scene was cool though I loved it man I mean just two short battling these two female emcees from DangerZone. I do not know these

these two young women. Are they somebody's? Dominique Thorne is Ironheart from the Ironheart series. Oh, that's right. That is her. And In Tice is played by Normani. She's an R&B singer.

Okay. I'm not familiar with her music, but from what I understand, she got a co-sign from Beyonce, so she must be up and coming. I don't know. so yeah everyone's having a good time they're up there battling they're they're they're up there performing and they're having a good time and i wouldn't say they won but i mean we're supposed to believe that they did i didn't really think it was much of a battle it just

seemed like they were up there just performing uh doing a song because i mean if if they're freestyle and sync like that then they're extremely talented duo no that was something land so but it was cool what they were saying i liked it as well as short him uh saying some ill shit back to them do you mention entice had the power up with the glow yeah side topics because before they went in i mean there was a green uh lightning bolt that was in the ground but yeah in tice she uh her mike lit up yeah she felt the the green glow so but yeah they're on the bus they're going home and this is when we can get the cameo from

Marshawn Lynch he's the bus driver I was like that's kind of weak he's just a bus driver I thought he'd be in it more because he had a good role in what's that short round movie it came out earlier this year Oh

Love stinks Love hurts Oh Did you like that movie? It was fine It wasn't It wasn't a bad movie It wasn't good

I thought I think his name is Kehoe Kwan. I thought he did okay with it. But from what I understand, he was talking into doing that movie. He didn't want to do it. Well, he's fresh off his Academy Award winning. Well, Marshaun was good in it. Yeah, he was badass. He was in another movie that Samarra Weaving was in,

that's on Hulu, and he pops up in there. He's like really, fucking entertaining when he pops up and stuff uh let's see okay that first one that second story

was don't fight the feeling in this next story chapter three born to Mac that was that was my lifestyle learned everything I know

about Macin from Too Short and Born to Mac is that's my shit man life's life's too short.

I was that album that came out after this one. I learned my cuss words from the song Cuss Words. I think he kind of started to get somewhat mainstream with that with that album.

Because went on that big tour with NWA and all that. I think he got mainstream with cocktails. There was a few songs on that one I liked. I mean, Born and Mac, like I said, my favorite album,

my second favorite short album is um short of the pimp that that whole album is just ill everything about it i mean whatch mccall is kind of underrated which one uh getting it album number 10 the alleged retirement album that he was only doing that to get out of his label no he i don't know how many albums, like 20 now or something. Yeah, he got all them group albums with the E-40 and

what's the other one with Snoop and Ice Cube Mount Westmore. Yeah. Shorts can be coming around here. I guess the Kings of Rap or Kings of Hip Hop or something is a show going on. I think next month. Either January

February and Reno. It's too short I want to say Exhibit and someone else I can't remember I just remember Exhibit. You should have never did Pimp My Ride Kilt Your Music Career

If I go that I just mainly want to see too short And I think he's first Exhibit He has some good stuff His earlier stuff But Pimp My Ride Just killed his whole momentum

And I There was some story about how he was supposed to be signed with Dre and that got cut off too yeah I didn't care for that show and what I understood they said that show was fake yeah all the people's cars fell apart

after they a couple months yeah the one the one car I did like is the one that was a DJ oh yeah and they I guess his old car was just so fucked up they couldn't they really couldn't pimp it out so they ended up giving them

another car where they put hello speakers in the back and a pull-out DJ set, turntables and everything. I thought that was cool, but I said, man, you ain't driving that around somewhere. Someone would steal that shit quick. Anyway, born to Mac.

This is when we're introduced to Pedro Pascal's character. Clan. Yeah. This part was sad. I mean, his story on what was what's going on with him. He's in a phone booth and he's talking to the hospital.

And this is when he finds out that his wife had passed. And he was just shocked. I mean, at this point, in the story, we don't know exactly what happened yet. Yeah. So he goes into his car and he's just sitting there and he pulls out a gun and then he has a flashback. Yeah, you know if something bad happened Because the hospital also said The police are here

And they said they need to ask you some questions Yeah So he has a flashback It's him and his wife They're downtown Oakland on telegraph In front of the video store And he's getting ready to go in And they're gonna pick a movie

It says 24 hours ago So he's kind of like Oh she's like You know what get Sid Nancy And he's like I don't even like that type of music. And she's like, no. I mean, you should see it.

And he's kind of like, uh, all right, whatever. So, and we find out that his wife is pregnant as well. So he's kind of like, all right, well, I'm going to go in, do what I got to do. This is the last time I'm going to do it. And after that, we're going to, we're going to go live, how you have the baby and we're going to live happily ever after. So, so I'm like, okay.

So he goes into a late night video. Uh, there's no. nothing there. Well, the last time I was down there when I drove around to find out where this was. Um, it's, there, there was nothing in there anymore. But it's right next to, uh, Jasmine, African hair braiding. And that place is still there. And that's a still, still, still successful business from what I understand. It's been there forever. But then, uh, while, um, Clint goes in, his, uh, girlfriend or his wife, Grace, she's sitting out in the car and we see a

Mexican gentleman kind of looking around driving by in a car and we don't really know at this point who he is but Clint goes into the store and he's talking to the guy behind the counter

and they're talking about the warriors because the LA the Lakers are coming up to the bay to play the Warriors and this is when we are introduced to Hank played by Academy Award winner Tom Hanks being an all-star

yeah when I heard the voice I was like no and then when they show him I was like man and everybody cheered when Tom Hanks came on the screen and I was like I just I just had to clap right along with everyone else I mean, Bay Area legend, Tom Hanks. And out of all the stuff he's done, I've said this a billion times,

Bachelor Party is my all-time favorite number one Tom Hanks movie. I love that movie. But anyway, so they're kind of talking about movies. Was this like a Lone Shark place? I think a gambling spot. Okay. Like illegal underground. Yeah, whether it's playing poker in the back.

So they're talking and he kind of gives them some code words. Well, duh, Hank's, Hank. He's talking about the top five underdog movies. And he starts throwing movie titles out. It was a dirty dozen, the verdict, and some other ones. Yeah. Hey, how we never got number one. Yeah.

I mean, we didn't. So he kind of gives, uh, Clint gives him the, the code words on, uh, what's going on. I guess he's supposed to rent, uh, some, some of these movies or talk or ask for them. Yeah, big trouble and little China. Yeah, it was, the thing it was like three. Um, let me see what he said yeah big big trouble little china was one of them tough guys and ruthless people ruthless people so when he says all that or then um there was another

one uh the color of money if you guys remember that movie yeah so uh Hank he kind of like all right you actually gave him the the title so he gives them uh he said i thought you were here for the movies yeah he goes well how much is that and he goes It's $500, so Clint lays out $500 bills. And then Hank gives Clint a key. He goes, yeah, just go through the curtains and it's behind the wall. So he goes in there. This is the curtained room where all the big giant box, VHS boxes of pornos are in.

So he goes in there and then the wall opens up. For those of you that do remember the VHS porn, I was, even to this day, no one's giving me an answer like, why were those boxes so big? So you can see all the artwork. They got a lot to show. Yeah, when we would sneak behind that curtain and look at it as much as we could before we got kicked out.

So, um, Clint's wife She's in the car Listening to 106 Did it change it? I think 106 was K M-E-L Let me see 106

K-M-E-L F-M Yeah K-Miel used to be like a rock station but then I don't know

somebody bought it and then it turned into what it is today R&B hip hop station popular music yeah and I was like I'm like wait I said I remember being shocked

because I think well came he'll change its format I don't know exactly when that happened but when it when they when we see the dial on on the on the radio i was like oh damn camille because she's

listening to uh uh a stevie b song for those you that uh like stevie b anyway clink goes he goes behind the the dirty wall and then he's there's a room back room where these guys are all playing uh poker and he goes up on one guy um what was the name ryan patten pratton but he He goes by Blowhard. Clint is a, like an enforcer, a collector for some loan shark. So this guy owes him, owes his boss, some crazy about him money. But he's kind of like, well, man, he goes, look, I got to get it from you. But the guy's like, well, I don't have it.

And he pulls out these Warriors Lakers tickets. And he's like, hey, man, just give him this. He goes, man, these are, like, easily a thousand apiece. And he's like, well, I don't want those. And he's like, oh, man, because this is all I got. Like that guy at the poker table, it was like 500 tops. Yeah. They ain't no thousand dollars.

So he's telling him, it's like, look, man, he goes, this is all I got. So that guy kind of turns. Then you guys want to buy these tickets? And they're like, I'll give you $200 for the pair. And they're like, hell no. So he's like, all right, man. man, he goes, I'll take the tickets, but, um, you know, uh, something's got to happen. He's like, what? Left or right?

And he's like, uh, and he's like, fuck it right. So he holds up his hand. Clint grabs his finger and just snaps it. And it looked nasty because it was all tweaked and everything. So I guess, it was quick and easy, though. Yeah. So Clint's kind of like, all right, guys. Uh, after this.

I'm done. Well, he said he was officially done after he got what he collected from that dude. Yeah, officially retired. Yeah. So he goes out back into the video store.

And he's like, where's the other guy that was here? And the guy behind the counter is like, well, I'm, I'm just me here. And he's kind of looking around like, what? He describes them. He's like, no, man, there ain't nobody like that here and he goes he's like a little older maybe he's the owner and then the dude behind the counter was like what and he went um you've always been the owner

yeah i was tripping out for a second yeah i was kind of like a shining reference and he's looking at the dude behind the counter like what wait what and then that guy's now i'm just fucking with you uh that was uh hank he's on lunch so he's gonna like all right so while he's talking to that dude, we see somebody in the background. The guy that was outside in the El Dorado. That's how with those cars? No, El Camino. Yeah.

He's sitting there. He's looking at Clint. You get those cytops in his eyes. Yeah. He was using the cytopsics, his skills against evil. I like this because they were always talking about scanners in this movie.

movie and if you guys know what scanners is when somebody was scanning you um you would get a nose bleed and i thought that was really cool because we see this uh what the hell is the name antonio he's standing there staring at clint staring hard yeah and then uh clint's nose starts to bleed so i was like oh right on to the people that uh made scanners but uh clint's like all right man i'm out so he uh grabs his movies and then he rolls out and he actually ended up buying sid and nancy because he was talking about she's like oh you have to buy it and he goes well i'm saving money on the rental and the late fees and everything so she's all excited she's going to watch it with me and he's like yeah so he basically told him like look i'm done we can

do whatever we want uh i got money and and we're all good so while he's talking to his wife um somebody comes up next to the door and it's Antonio and he's got a gun and he's pointing it at Clint and he's like he goes you know who I am and he's kind of like no and that kid's like going look closer he goes subtract seven years from my face and he's really looking at him and he goes now imagine uh I'm watching you kill my father and this kid is scared and then we get a black and white flashback we see a kid kind of peeking through the door and we see Clint

he has somebody on the ground and he's just dropping bombs on him. I like the only thing that's in color is the blood on his face. Yeah, he just destroyed this kid's dad. And the older version of him is

more than seven years older than his younger person. So Clint is kind of like, all right, man, just I'm sorry and I'm not that same person that did that to your father and that kid's

like, the thing is, he goes, I don't care. So he's slowly pulling the trigger. And then before that kid fired, blah, he gets, she gets

blasted, and then he falls down. Clint is standing it's like shocked the camera pulls back and we see uh clint's wife grace holding a gun and she's like uh well he's gonna shoot you so clint's looking at her all scared and then she's kind of like um she tells him like don't uh don't watch it without me the movie that he got then the camera pans down she's holding her stomach and she's pregnant and blood is just leaking out of her and that he just punches it in his car and races to the hospital we go back the that flashback is over with and he's just sitting in his car looking forward he

looks over at the seat and there's blood still all over the seat and everything and I call bullshit I mean because the the cops I mean because he ends up going to the police station and everything for a lineup for what happened to him because he when he and he's sitting in his car he looks over and sees all this blood on the seat and I'm like the police didn't like question you and check out your car or anything but I don't know anyway so he's sitting there and he's looking and he's all sad he pulls out a gun and sticks it to his head like he was going to end it all but then this little uh this little little hustler. He comes walking up. He's like, hey, man, you want to buy this

mixtape? It's got everybody on it. East Bay Mix. Yeah, he goes, this got too short. It's got Richie Rich Tower of Power. And he goes, if that ain't your stuff, he got sliding a family stones, the Porter Sister, Sheila E. Grateful Dead. And he goes, if you're a rock and roll guy, he goes, I got Metallica on here. That's a mixtape right there. Yeah. So he's kind of like, all right, he ends up giving that kid the pair of Warriors Lakers tickets. And that kid's like, all right, man, cool. So he ends up, Clint goes into the diner where he pulled up.

And that's when we see Lucid and the hell was her name, Tina. Yeah. He walks by and kind of just looks at him. and then he sits down at this table and he's talking to some white guy with long hair basically he's got another job for him

but he's kind of like I'm retired but this guy tries to scare him with it like look man if you're not going to do it man we can get your wife and your kid and basically force you to do it

but he's kind of like that was my last job I can't do anymore. And he's like, oh, you ain't got no choice, really. Because,

like, I can tell the, the main guy, and he goes, but he's going to come after you. At this point, I mean, Clint,

I mean, he doesn't care anymore. His wife's gone and everything. So I guess that guy gave him, like, an envelope with maybe half the money in it.

But he, he said, sets it on fire. And the dude that he's talking to, Coney, Clint just throws it down on the table. So, he basically tells him, like, look, man,

this is what you need to do. And they didn't give him the option. Like, this is your last job, then you're out, right? No, I think this was all his plan. Okay. So he's like, all right, man, I'll be there. So he ends up, he's walking out of the diner.

He goes past Lucid and Tina. And then he's like, can I see that? And she's like, okay. So she pulls out that little leather armband with studs all over it and whatever those big-ass giant blade things that's sticking out of it. He's looking at it and he just tells it basically, just aim for the neck. Which is a callback from when she hit the main Nazi guy in the throat with it. Yeah.

Because when she gutted him in the throat, blood went pouring out of it. So Clint, he gets back in his car, and he's just like, all right, man. Let's go. Let's do this. He's driving, and then a car stops in front of him. And it's a police car because they all just showing them. their IDs. It is Detective Pierce

and Detective Payton. They tell Clint, they're like, yeah, you need to come to the station. So he's like, fuck it, all right. So he goes in and he gets in the back of the car and they end up taking

them to the hospital. Or not the hospital, the police station. So he's sitting there, like just, I don't know, figuring out of his life. And this is when the guy, Ben Mendelsohn comes up and he starts talking shit. So he's like, all right, man. The phone rings.

So the guy picks it up and he's like, all right, man. Yeah, he's right here. So he's like, the phone's for you. And it's the hospital. How they didn't know where he was? Movie magic. All right. so

Pedro gets on the phone and it's the hospital and they tell them like look I mean your wife passed but you're the baby survived so he's kind of like all right so he has to go down

to the police station and do a lineup so we do see Antonio the Mexican guy that shot what the hell's name Clint shot his wife

he's just staring at him and then Antonio he looks up he's staring back and forth at Pedro Pascal Clint and then they're kind of like

is that him is that number or whatever his name is this him and he's like he has a flashback of him in the trailer after he killed

Antonio's dad he was he was like much younger so uh clint he's also then doing that lineup he's doing he's getting um interrogated by the the police but he he doesn't give up anything so and that's the end of chapter three and the final chapter and this is the legend of sleepy floyd We go back to the skinheads They're all outside Hooting and hollering

Getting ready to go do what Skinheads do But we have Travis and Troy And The guy They're They're doing like a A plan

Like they're gonna go Rob all these houses. Yeah, they're going through NBA players' stats. That are like on the warriors and mainly the warriors because they're all the ones

that live locally. What happened to this dude? Angus clown? Overdose. So we find out, yeah, the guy, Ben Mendelston, he's sitting there listening to it

and this is his house. His son is like the head Nazi skinhead guy. Yeah, the one who gets stabbed in the neck. Yeah. This Travis Cod guy, he always reminds me of Mac Miller. Angus. Yeah, Angus, I'm sorry.

He reminds me of Mac Miller. Yeah, from what I understand, he was well loved in Oakland. This kid? Angus, yeah. Oh, um. Troy, the guy's son, he comes walking in, like, hey, dad, I'm out of here. And he's like, you guys forgetting something? And he's like, he pulls out, I don't know, 20s, I guess, and throws it to his kid.

No, no, no, he pulls out his truck keys. He goes, are you forgetting something? And he goes, oh, so he throws in the keys, he goes, thanks, dad. Yeah, just fill it up before you return it back to me. So. Yeah. It was just weird. They were trying to make a wholesome moment between, like, a Nazi and his father.

Let's make sure you fill up the tank. Thanks, Dad. So the next one is when we see Sleepy Floyd. He's in action. And their plan was to just rob everyone's house. There was the Warriors, right? Yeah, while they were at the game. Because they figured they're at the game,

nobody's going to be at their house yeah so they're like all right so they um gear up and they pack all their stuff up and they're getting ready to go do what they got to do um Travis he did he like hear something no no no he didn't they're at they're at the house and they're looking in and then they uh they go through one of the sliding doors and they and they're at Sleepy Floyd's house And this house is huge I don't know if this was his house In real life

But They're going there and they're going through And then we're at the Coliseum Arena Not I don't know Who owns it now I know at one point

The Oracle Owned Um The arena So we're there basketball games going we see that young kid that uh that was slaying in the mixtape he's out front trying to sell those tickets still so yeah he um oh we get um some uh animated scene of sleepy floyd uh in action uh ripping up uh the lakers

but back at Sleepy Floyd's house we see all these guys just dumping all her jewelry and bags and they were trying to break open the safe and everything so before they sprung into their plan to do robberies they were yeah

they were just kind of doing the Warriors teams like you said just making sure everyone's going to be at the warrior game and no one's going to be at these houses so let's go break in. I did like that one when they

they were talking about Larry Bird. Chris Mullen. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, Chris Mullen. I'm sorry. I was watching Larry Bird documentary

earlier. Well, he was talking well, Jordan, he was talking about shit talking and he said no one ever talked.

He did like Larry Bird. Yeah. I was watching that. Chris Mullins. Do you remember the Kristen Timberger at McDonald's? Yeah. I don't know if that was everywhere.

I know it was all over in the Bay Area. Chris Mullins in it. Well, his voice is in it. But anyway, we're seeing these guys robbing everyone's houses, and then we're seeing the animated stuff on the way the game is going and how Sleepy Floyd is doing this thing.

He's got family there at the game. his mom and I think his sister and was that his brother or was that her husband or something I don't remember yeah I think so so I guess his mom was eating the Coliseum dogs

yeah she she's a vegan but decided to eat a hot dog and she was starting to feel weird so she's like you know what we're going to go back to the house you just stick around and finish the game. Oh, we got to mention that Sleepy Floyd was having a hell of the game because that

Scientopic Energy hit the stadium. I don't remember any of that. Sytopics back in those days. Anyway, so we see these guys. They're at Sleepy Floyd's house. They go in and they're basically just trying to find the safe and

everything. We see did they kill this guy there's a that when they go in the house and that one guy's dead on the floor I think so okay

because there's blood all over the TV so I think that's when the mom got there yeah so they we see them going into the house and then we're back at the coliseum and we're seeing Sleavy Floyd he's leaving

leaving the the underground spot. Everyone's out there hooting and hollering and cheering because the warriors came back and beat the Lakers. But this scene was cool. They all go over to Giant Burgers on MacArthur close to Fruitvale. And Slebe Floyd, they were saying in the movie that he lived up on Skyline Boulevard. And it's probably from where Giant Burgers is, Skyline Boulevard, it's probably I don't know five miles maybe five six miles away up in the hills

so but anyway he pulls up to giant burgers everybody's in the parking lot everyone's celebrating the Warriors win two shorts there well the guy that played too short danger zone they're there

um sleepy Floyd ended up paying for everyone's burgers two short was going to but then he's like now and then you know I'll do it so everyone's outside in the parking lot having a good time eating hamburgers and everything uh sleepy floyd ends up uh pulling up to his house and there's all kinds of commotion he doesn't know what's happening uh ambulance just left he's got all these cops outside he's like

hey man this is my house and they're like ah hey man something uh it was like a robbery something something happened here so they're saying that uh his mom got shot right yeah But she was she survived and then I like his girlfriend got killed. Yeah, uh, his sister was a, I think was his sister. Was that, was that his sister or no? I mean, there was a few people there. Someone else survived.

I, I can't remember. But, uh, sleepy is just like, just out of it. He's just sitting there. He's not really, uh, paying attention. uh was this guy like his friend this uh other gentleman that was there in his house that was answering the phones i think so all right because yeah somebody's calling they're like hey on the other line we need is this sleepy floyd we need to we need to speak to him but that guy's calling you know what now man tonight's not a good time so he basically uh just hangs up on him

but uh those kids weren't uh giving up the phone rang again and sleepy got up and uh answered it and they basically told sleepy who killed his family because they were saying we were sitting in this restaurant and we heard what they were talking about when Judd Nelson is in there it says girlfriend yeah so they're talking about like yeah we we know something was happening for some ill shit

that those guys were saying so they followed him up to the not Pedro Pasco the other guy with long hair the Nazi guy he was sitting at the booth with yeah they um they were they were telling them

yeah they knew what was happening so that's why they called Sleepy Floyd and they told him like yeah we we know about this and we know about your your wife of her dying

so how did get Sleepy Floyd's number I don't know He was in the phone book So He's kind of like All right I'm gearing up for battle

He goes into His little walk-in closet And chains his clothes And he's got his full Arsenal behind him He's sitting there warming up Or meditating And then we go back to

Uh somebody's house where there's a big old party Oh, it's the skinhead house. Yeah, the guy's house. Yeah, so while they're showing that, we're seeing Sleepy Floyd gear up. He's got his weapons. He's got his warriors sweatshirt on

under his trench coat. So he grabs this katana sword and heads out. All right, this is where I had an issue with this. He lives on Skata. Skyline Boulevard. Those are you that know, it's up in the hills. We see him riding down the street going the opposite direction of where he's going, because we see him going down this road, like maybe heading towards Castro Valley. But then we see him riding down Lincoln Avenue.

And the reason I know that's Lincoln Avenue is because the Mormon Temple is right there. We see him riding down that street. And we go back to the Nazi house. Everybody's in there partying, doing drugs, drinking. And Sleepy Floyd's, we see him riding. He goes past the Grand Lake Theater. All right. The reason I had an issue with this, all you from the town, you know.

I assume he was going to Alameda because we do see him going around Lake Merritt and he goes through the tunnel that goes to Alameda. All right. This house was like,

it seemed like it was on a hill. There are no hills in Alameda. It's like basically junk garbage landfill that they turned into Alameda for whatever it says. He's just,

riding down Lincoln Avenue and then for some reason he ends up way over on Lake Shore Ave by Grand Lake Theater and then we see him going around Lake Merritt to go to the Webster Street

tunnel I'm like was you doing the scenic route dude if you were going to Alameda you could have just went straight down Lincoln and hit MacArthur then went throughville and went straight to Alameda go straight down Fruvville and went straight to Alameda go straight down

Fruitvale Avenue, go over the bridge and you're in Alameda. I don't know. That rubbed me the wrong way. I mean, but I get it. If you're not from Oakland, you don't know where he was going. But he goes through the Webster

Street Tunnel and he goes in Alameda, I guess. And apparently that's where the skinhead house is. But again, there ain't no hills in Alameda. It's flat. But anyway, so Sleepy Floyd pulls up to the Skinhead House

because those kids told them they said that we know where they live because they followed them was it Tina and yeah they followed that guy that from the little coffee shop that Clint was talking to

that guy's name was Dawson they followed him back to the house so he knew where they were so he's outside and he comes up across Dawson and another gentleman beheaded biker

that's what they call him he's standing there Dawson's kind of like hey man you're not welcome here but then sleepy Floyd pulls out his little ninja sword and stabs that guy in the gut and blood is just pouring out all over the place

he's dead and he goes over to the other guy the other guy is just standing there trying to light his cigarette or his pipe or no he's got a crack pipe in his mouth and uh he's looking at uh sleepy floyd but then that when that guy's looking at him he just falls to the ground

so it looked like uh sleepy got him before he uh start smoking the pipe and fell down so but we go in the house and uh all the little skinhead guys are in there partying and everything. Sleepy walks in and he's in his fresh ass warriors gear. Old school Warriors tracks.

Yeah. This is just warm boat. Yeah. So he goes in there and there's some guys in the kitchen and then he's like, that guy's like, what the fuck? And then Sleepy Floyd's commencing to to whoop that ass. So he knocks

around one dude and then he comes across another guy. He's fighting him. He kicks him into the to the main room where everyone's at and then he pulls out um uh his sword uh but it was still in the little carrier so he just starts fucking fools up with it he pulls it out slices and stab some guy uh beating the hell out of them there's back in these days it was cocaine was to seem to be the the drug of choice because there's like a ton of it on the tables Yeah, just laying around. Yep.

So, but yeah, Sleepy Floyd, man, I don't know exactly how many guys were in this house, but everyone starts coming at him. And he's kicking ass. He's kicking dudes down the banisters of the stairway. He's stabbing and killing fools. And when these fools get stabbed, it's like, you get stabbed,

and then blood goes pouring out. So I was there for it. I was like, oh, yeah. I remember there was an older, going oh this this movie's gross because of the blood but so sleepy floyd man he springs into action again and he's just whooping ass on all these all these guys um so he ends up killing a majority of them in there he takes off his uh his little warm-up sweatshirt and he's got this like yellow vest in on and he starts

kicking ass on all these dudes. I mean, fools are coming at him with everything. Knives, bats, and all of that. So after he beats the shit out of all those dudes in the house, he goes upstairs. And there's some dude up there, some guy in a wife beater with a big ass knife. And then Sleepy's looking at him. And he's giving him the, I was waiting for his eyes to turn green, the cytopic eyes. but he's just like fuck it

and then they end up just like going for it but as that guy and the wife beater runs up to sleepy Floyd he's standing there looking at him and that he just gets his hand

and just jams it through that dude like he didn't even punch he like just straight fingered right through that guy's gut and came out of his back the next room we see some burnouts. They're trying to feed mice

to some boa constrictor but Sleepy comes in and kind of interrupts it saying that all right man I'm looking for you. So the guy, he's upstairs holding a baby

and at this point I completely forgot that Clint his wife had a kid and he was with him because we see um Clint was sitting there but before that

somebody's knocking on the door and they're like who is it so I don't know so um Travis walks over the door he opens it up and Sleepy Floyd

standing there holding one of those guys that he killed at the Giant Burgers he's holding his head and he's got blood all over him and when did did

what's uh Angus, Travis. When did he get hit in the head? Oh, no. He, um, the, the, uh, Sleepy Floyd, like, knocked on the door. I mean, he didn't know he didn't. The door was open. Um, Travis walks over to the door.

Sleepy Floyd standing there. And he's got like one of those, uh, those native, um, Tomahawks or whatever. He fucking just slams it right in that guy's head. So Travis is dead. he just kind of falls back and yeah we see uh clint he's laying there all all beat the shit so the guy grabs his shotgun and uh starts walking around the house as he's walking around the house there's like dead bodies laying everywhere all over the place so the guy he's uh he's looking for sleepy and then he finds um sleepy he's uh

meditating. Yeah, he was sitting there meditating. And the guy, he's just talking shit to him. And before he could pull the trigger, Sleepy Floyd, he looks up at the guy

and the guy can't pull the trigger or anything. He's starting to flip out. Sleepy's got those green eyes and the the guy he's like ah like something's breaking inside because his eyes are leaking blood his nose is leaking blood so did he just blow up yeah yeah uh the sleepy floyd was sitting there

doing whatever his eyes are green and all of a sudden he just kind of raised his hand and then uh the guy just blows up he's like he blew up in two top part and the bottom half of him so uh clint is in the i guess the office or whatever in the house so he kind of gets free gets his kid um he's walking through the house seeing everyone uh all beat up seeing people make sure he grabs that tomahar yeah and when he goes outside this is when we see um Troy uh the skinhead guy this is after they all got beat up uh in front of gilman street so but uh clint just comes walking out of the house holding his baby the skinhead guys are kind of shocked uh the main guy the

the main skin and he he he's uh asking um clint like what happened to you and then Clint he looks over at Troy and he's like what do you say? By the looks of it your daddy fuck with the wrong warrior

yeah they like look at him they're like puzzled they don't know what's in that house yet so they they I assume they just go in and Troy's looking around he's seeing blood everywhere fools getting dead bodies

but Sleepy Floyd gets on a motorcycle and he's just cruising around Sleepy Floyd on the wall in the house he went sleepy Floyd is Superman number 21 so we see Sleepy Floyd he's on the Golden Gate Bridge

he's riding he just drove through the Treasure Island tunnel and he's heading into the to the city they must have shot that scene like super late at night because nobody's on the train

or on the nobody's on the bridge so we go to the Sytopics commercial and Sleby Floyd's talking about

whatever Scyt Topics is. Yeah. By the way, I scored 29 points in a single game recently. Yeah. But we see Tina Lucid, Entice, and Barbie. They're walking behind him. So I like his old school Warriors sweatshirt. Or not warm-up sweatshirt that he's got on.

I don't know. Do they still have those or did they make it you can buy him oh so he's talking about the site topic stuff like when to be there and what's going on what what you can do to better yourself and everything

and then that's that's the movie but we get some cool little animated stuff somebody's head explodes right after that yeah so but this movie was awesome I mean I loved everything

about it again this is home to me I love how they always do the the characters showing images of them at the end on who everybody is and the name of the actors and all that and then after all that ends

we get another scene with Tom Tom Hakes he's on the phone talking to somebody that wants Raiders of the Lost Dark. So he's, I assume he's just ad libid everything

because the film crew is all laughing at the shit he's saying. So that was it for Tom Hanks. But after all that, credits are still rolling. We get a

Danger Zone video for what would it look like. I guess from their album Enter the Zone. Freaky Tales motion picture soundtrack. So they're on the AC transit bus rapping and singing and all kinds of people dancing and everything in it.

I guess they're supposedly in the video they're on the roof of the Grand Lake Theater but they're not. And that's your movie. But if you have not seen this movie I mean there's more there's more to it but this movie is fucking awesome. I loved every minute of it.

All the characters were amazing and just, like I said earlier, this just makes me miss home every time I watch it. So will it be nominated for Best Picture? Probably not. But it was one of my favorite films of the year. So it's amazing. I know there's rumors of a part two.

I'll watch it, but I don't, I don't see a need for part two, do you? I mean, you can tell different stories. It'd be set in the 90s or something like that. Yeah, but, I mean, they obviously did their research on it. So, but, yeah, that was The Freaky Tales, everyone, from, uh, 2024, but came out this year for, for us. but all right brie you're up what are we doing next episode all right this is a movie we talked about a couple times doing and it is on prime and to be and it is 1994 stoner comedy the stoned age i'm all for it and uh talk about it when we talk about it because i just watched this again
