Episode Transcript
[00:00:01] Hello, everybody. Welcome to the JB and I show. I am your host, Isaac the Firehawk Middleton.
[00:00:11] What's up, y'? All? How you doing?
[00:00:15] All right, today we're going to be talking about Mortal Kombat.
[00:00:22] Mortal Kombat 2, to be specific. In Mortal Kombat in general, for those you who follow the Mortal Kombat lure. Okay, now, Mortal Kombat is a video game and they made a movie out of it. And it's been around for 33 years, you guys. Oh, yeah, that's a long time.
[00:00:47] And the movies has been. I mean, when I first saw Mortal Kombat, this was way back in. Way back, Way, way, way back.
[00:00:59] Back in the time. All right, so.
[00:01:02] And it was just a thrill to see it on the big screen and everything. And they also had movies in the actual video game itself. So it would break off into this movie scene, cinematic scene and everything, and then go back into the video game.
[00:01:20] Oh, my goodness.
[00:01:22] And you know, some was hit or miss. You know, there were some movies that was definitely looking back on. It wasn't, how do I say, up to par, but because it was people willing to continue to tell the story, it was still good, if that makes sense. Because they did, you know what I mean? And I believe in my opinion, that opened the door for more big screen movies. And just the turn out there was great. You know, it wasn't like you expected it to be Oscar winner type of movie, but it was something I was like, yeah, I, I definitely would see it again, you know, and the, the movie Mortal Kombat 2 is going to be coming out May 8th, and I would definitely would recommend seeing it and checking it out, especially if you haven't seen it before. You know, don't go in there thinking it's going to be, you know, a particular type. Just go there to enjoy the movie itself. And I think everybody will, you know, enjoy it.
[00:03:02] Carl Urban is going to be playing Luke Cage.
[00:03:07] And I know you all remember him, he's from the Boys. He, he's definitely, in my opinion, an A list actor.
[00:03:16] You know, from the Boys, the Bluff arc, the Animated Series, Gen V, you know, see the Sea Beast, you know, Batman, Death and the Family.
[00:03:30] He's done all of these different items in his acting career, so him playing Johnny Cage, I think will definitely be good. I said Liu Kang earlier, but he's not Liu Kang, he's Johnny Cage.
[00:03:48] Liu Kang is Ludy Lynn.
[00:03:53] He's an actor, producer, writer, is going to be playing Luke Cage now in this one. Like, if you Watch the older movies.
[00:04:04] It either surrounded Luke Cage and his backstory, and the most recent one that was done by the same director, it was. It focused more on Sub Zero and Scorpio, Scorpion, and which is. It has a big, big fight sequence in that. And I. I love the way they did Sub Zero because he's definitely was ba in that. You know what I'm saying? He was all, oh, he was. He was really good.
[00:04:42] Now, depending on who you talk to, some people will say, no, it could have been better. They should have done it this way, they should have done it that way.
[00:04:51] And I won't necessarily disagree with it in its. In its totality, but what I will say is that the way that they did do it was reasonable because you. Not. You shouldn't expect it to be done exactly how it was done in the past or how it was done in the video game. That just wouldn't be feasible. I don't think that would be a good idea for them if they were to do it that way. I. I would definitely disagree with that. Okay.
[00:05:27] And when growing up watching the different renditions of Mortal Kombat, it was exciting, and at the same time, it was like, okay, you know, I'm saying, you know, I could go out and play these games, these characters in a video game.
[00:05:48] I could be anyone I want. I could be Luke King. I could be Johnny Cage, you know, and there's like a nostalgia behind it for those of us who have grown up watching Mortal Kombat, are watching or playing Mortal Kombat the video game or watching the video game movie, whether we. Watching a video game movie on YouTube or pirated video.
[00:06:26] But it was. It was definitely interesting, to say the least, and to see them, you know, still doing it and getting better at doing it, and the visual effects are getting better, the special effects are getting better.
[00:06:45] It's like, okay, yeah, I'm definitely. Oh, I want to see, you know, what they do with it, you know, for real, you know what I'm saying?
[00:06:53] And being able to see, like, now that we got all this technology and everything behind it, it's like, yeah, I want to see us, you know, do this thing.
[00:07:03] So, yeah, I definitely want. Looking forward to it now. There were some where I was like, okay, you know, that could have been better, or this could have been better, or, yeah, they, you know, went in a different direction that I thought they were gonna go in, but that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy the movie. You know, Jessica McNeam is gonna be Sonya Blade, and She's played in Wind Catcher Upright, the Visitor, you know, and she was in the other Mortal Kombat that came out in 2021. I don't know if y' all remember that one. That one was the one I was referencing in regards to Scorpion and Sub Zero.
[00:07:52] You know, the backstory of them and them fighting and everything.
[00:07:57] And, yeah, it was really good. And. And I thought that, you know, they did a good job in. In that one.
[00:08:07] Mortal Kombat in 2021. Oh, I was happy to see that they were able to get the same director back to direct this one.
[00:08:17] And I'm interested to see, like, what they're going to do with it. I want to know what y' all think about Mortal Kombat in general as a whole, as a video game and as a movie. Do you think that they're capturing the essence of Mortal Kombat in the movies thus far? Now, I do know that some of the renditions from the past has been lacking, to say the least. But in my opinion.
[00:08:48] Tell me what you think about it.
[00:08:51] In 2021, that rendition was. Was okay. They really did okay with that one and this one, I think, you know, because they got the same director back, I believe that it's going to be good as well.
[00:09:07] So I believe that, like, you know, you want to, you know, tell the story, and every director have their vision for the story, and it could be the same story. If you get a different director, it's going to look different because it's a different director. Okay. And it's the same thing. Like, you know, with Superman. The same thing happened in Superman. Two different directors, two different stories. All right?
[00:09:36] Now, I do also believe that they have to have enough time and all that stuff like that and to develop in and do their story and such like that. But, you know, we'll see.
[00:09:51] And.
[00:09:53] But I want to know what you guys think in regard to that Simon McLeod McCoy. I can't pronounce his last name. I apologize.
[00:10:03] McQuoid.
[00:10:05] He's the director.
[00:10:07] And I believe that he's going to do a really good job in. In this one as well. I believe his last one, mortal Kombat in 2021, was his directing debut.
[00:10:19] So with all of that in mind, even without the curb in there, I still think he did a really good job, you know, in that, you know, so I want to see how this one comes out and. And how he, you know, his vision for this one, because I really think it's gonna be really good. And. And Mortal Kombat is definitely an action movie. Okay.
[00:10:48] Let's make no mistake about it. It's an action movie. It's a fight movie. You know, and I don't know if y' all seen some of the older movies from back in the day with Jean Claude Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger and, you know, those other, you know, action heroes from back in the day.
[00:11:09] I believe that, you know, because this came from a video game, and it's a fight video game at that, so you can expect it to be just that, a fight thing, and them giving it the storylines and such like that. And it's being around for so long and having the simple, like, sayings that it says in a. In video games, in the movies and such like that. Get over here. Flawless victory, you know, all that stuff like that. It's just like, okay, okay, yeah, let's do this. Let's do this. I want to see this thing. You know what I'm saying?
[00:11:46] So let me know what your thoughts about it.
[00:11:50] What.
[00:11:51] Where you gonna.
[00:11:53] What do you think about it? You know, when it comes out? Are you gonna check it out? You know, and yeah, I want to hear your thoughts, you know, saying. For real. For real combat.
[00:12:07] Absolutely.
[00:12:11] Before we go into our next segment, I wanted to take the time to say happy birthday.
[00:12:20] Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to everyone who celebr celebrating a birthday today, this month or this week.
[00:12:30] Happy birthday and many more. Many, many, many more birthdays. Okay, all right.
[00:12:42] And for those of you who are celebrating an anniversary this month, today or this week, Happy anniversary.
[00:12:56] Happy anniversary to you. And of course, many, many, many more. Anniversary. All right, all right. Happy anniversary to you. Okay.
[00:13:10] Okay. Now let's talk about Street Fighter.
[00:13:14] I grew up playing Street Fighter and watching the various versions of the show. Street Fighter, the TV shows, Street Fighter, the movies, the in between scenes in a video game of Street Fighter.
[00:13:34] Absolutely.
[00:13:36] And it wasn't until recently that I realized that Street Fighter has been around for 39 years.
[00:13:46] Yes, let that soak in. 39 years, Street Fighter has been around, and that's longer than Mortal Kombat, which has been around for 33 years. Those two franchises has been around for some decades. Okay, absolutely.
[00:14:05] So Street Fighter is another fighting game where you basically, you know, you fight, beat person is like a tournament type of thing, and you have your favorite characters. Some people like Ryu, some people like Ken. Some people like both Ken and Ryu. You know, I personally, I. I used to like bag, who's this time is being played by 50 Cent. And also like Gu, which is this time being played by Cody Rhodes. Now what I kind of, you know, was like G used to always get a bad, you know, deal. He had such, you know, cool moves, but he never like, especially in the movies, he never like really like done, you know, he always get his butt kicked, you know what I'm saying? He always getting saved by somebody, you know. My other favorite character was I Honda with the lightning hands.
[00:15:05] But you know, some people might like Blanca, you know, and you will definitely recognize or may not recognize the actor that plays Blanca, which is Jason Momoa and then Zakuma, which is played by Roman Reigns and Andrew Koji who's playing Ryu and Viziot Jamwati is playing Dasam and Ken Masters is played by Noah Santino. And of course you got Chun Li, Cami, all the characters that are in there. Now I want to see this rendition of Street Fighter because a lot of people did not like the last one. I believe it was played, if I'm not mistaken, years ago by Jean Claude Van Damme.
[00:16:04] And they did not like that rendition of Street Fighter.
[00:16:11] And I personally think that, yeah, it could have been better.
[00:16:17] But I mean, it is what it is, right? It's. It's as far as franchise and hopefully they, you know, it, this one comes out a whole lot better. I think they're trying to stay more in tuned with the video game almost said comic book and the storyline because Ryu and Ken are like brothers, but they are also rivals at the same time. So to see that dynamic play out on a big screen is going to be interesting.
[00:16:54] And this is live action as opposed to 3D or cartoon.
[00:17:00] So that's going to be a different one because the last one that I've seen in, in that regard is, was a cartoon type movie.
[00:17:12] And don't get me wrong, it was great and I enjoyed it.
[00:17:16] But I think that this one is going to be a lot better. The one with Jean Claude Van Damme was. Oh wow, I didn't realize it was that long ago. It came back in Night. It came out in 1994 and you have some really good actors. Jean Claude Van Damme is a excellent action actor. You know, saying he is, he was a wonderful action actor and Raul Julia was a great actor as well and he played Bison. So they had talent. You know, you even had Byron man as Ryu. But I think just, you know, the whole overall dynamics of the movie itself wasn't accepted by the people in general, but that, you know, but them not giving up on the movie or the franchise and still pushing Forward with it says a lot, you know, and I think that it's gonna be good. You know, I really am expecting a lot out of it in that regard. You know, I'm not expecting no Oscar performances, you know, saying. But it's a fight movie. It's a movie about, you know, fighting. It's a tournament, you know, it's like if they were to, you know, bring out a different video game that's surrounding fighting. That's what it is. And then that storyline that supports the, you know, is in between the fighting sequence.
[00:18:54] But that's what also makes it really good, is to see the actual fighting sequence and to see, like, you know, how they, in the. The interpretation of the different characters by the actors and how they do it and choreograph it and everything like that. All of that plays a significant role in.
[00:19:18] As a person watching it, you know, the enjoyment that I would get out of it, you know, and. And being able to, like, just see it and. And just enjoy it and such. Like, that means a lot and.
[00:19:32] And seeing, like, how they. How they do it, you know what I'm saying?
[00:19:39] And so I'm. I'm definitely interested to see that. And I don't think it's coming out anytime soon. I believe it's going to be coming out in October, October 16th of this year. So we still have some time before, you know, it comes out. But I wanted to talk about it, you know, today on the JB and I show, and you have some great, great, great actors and. And very talented professionals playing these different characters. And I'm very interested to see, like, you know, what they, you know, how they. How they, you know, portray it, the interpretation, you know, how it comes out.
[00:20:24] And I. I was kind of, you know, surprised with some of the character choices.
[00:20:33] 50 Cent playing Balrog.
[00:20:36] I'm not saying he can't do it. You know, I'm pretty sure he could. I just was surprised that, you know, they, you know, they chose him and that he decided to do it. Another one I'm kind of surprised to see was Jason Momoa playing Blanca. Not. Not saying that, you know, again, I know that he could do it. You know, I'm saying he definitely have the energy that Blanca has. And if you ever see the video game, especially the cartoon movie, where it kind of surrounds him to a degree, you know, he actually talk with sense. You know, he's not just this raging rage monster like the Hulk. He actually has, you know, common sense and. And this, that, and the third, and, you know, he Know, he's aware of his surroundings, type of the thing.
[00:21:25] And.
[00:21:26] And so I. And Roman Reigns playing Akuma. You know, that's interesting as well, is if you know anything about Akuma. Kuma is definitely a fighter.
[00:21:40] He's not necessarily a good person in that regard. He's. It's all about the fight for him. It's all about, you know, the fight itself. You know, everything else is like, blah.
[00:21:53] It's all about the fight and Ryu it, the showdown. Like, I don't know how this one's gonna play out. Let me preference it by saying that in some of the previous renditions, Ryu has faced off against Akuma for various reasons. And some of them Ryu loses and others Ryu win, then some he lose, then they come back to win. But I don't know how this is gonna go. What storyline they're gonna go with as the main storyline and such like that. I don't know anything in that regard, so.
[00:22:35] But I'm definitely going to talk about it again in the future in regards to. Because it's not until October, so I'm definitely going to talk about Street Fighter again. But, you know, looking at all these, you know, very talented actors and actresses in this movie, I'm. I'm expecting it to come out good. I really am.
[00:22:56] And. And I think that it will. You know, based off the trailers that I've seen so far, I'm pleasantly surprised. Now, there were some that I thought was a little wonky, but that plays right into the character design of that person.
[00:23:14] So it fits. You know what I mean?
[00:23:19] Absolutely.
[00:23:20] With that being said, I still waiting to see the.
[00:23:26] The layout in the storyline and the dynamics between the different actors and the fight scene, the choreography, all of that. I want to see how they do it, you know, and I'm. I'm expecting it to be good. Yeah, that's the word I'm looking for. Expecting.
[00:23:46] Let me know what you think about it. Are you looking forward to seeing Street Fighter? Do you think it's going to be any good?
[00:23:54] What is your opinion about the franchise in general?
[00:23:57] The video game, the past movies, whether it's a cartoon, the cartoon version or the live action version? You know, Let me know your thoughts. Okay. Comment below. Did I get it right? Did I cover all the points in. In these two things or did I miss something? You know what I'm saying? Let me know below. Okay. Street Fighter.
[00:24:21] All right, y'. All.
[00:24:24] All right.
[00:24:26] In this next segment, I always talk about motivation, staying motivated, and, you know, achieving your goals and dreams and aspirations. And such like that. And I just want to encourage you and such like that. And I always want to preference it by, like, if you are not able to achieve your dreams but you tried, at least you tried, you know, and if you achieve it to a degree but didn't reach the heights that you wanted to reach, you got higher than most people who didn't even try, you know, and if you have to pivot for whatever reason, something pops up, something happens, and, you know, you have to alter your dreams and aspirations, that's fine. If you have to come back to it later, like later on in life, you know, once the kids are grown or, you know, once the opportunity comes back around, at least it came back around. Some people don't get that opportunity because in some cases, once it's gone, it's gone, you know, And I just want to encourage you, you know, and I understand that it's never going to be perfect all the time. You're always going to have obstacles, ups and downs, storms, trials and tribulations, all of that. Okay, all right, So I just want to encourage you, okay, no matter whether you're finishing your education, getting your ged, getting your college degree, whether it's your associate, your bachelor's, you know, your master's, your doctorates, you know, whatever it may be, your certification, you know, I just want to encourage you to let you know that you could do it, you know, saying.
[00:26:21] And I always talk about and preferences, you know, with my fitness endeavors and, you know, I always have difficulty in my fitness journey. And it's a task, it's a challenge. I have to consciously make the decision to go, to go and work out. Okay, I'm gonna say to go to work. That too.
[00:26:48] And always make the conscious decision to eat healthy, you know, because there's so much junk food options that are so inexpensive compared to a lot of the healthy options, you know, and, you know, depending on where you live at.
[00:27:08] And so eating healthy can be a challenge within itself. Just because junk food is really readily available to you, you know, if you're like me, I love junk food. Ice cream and cake, cookies, muffins, you know, sweetaholic.
[00:27:32] It's a real thing. So when I had decided to, you know, focus in and use, utilize my discipline to eat right, to work out, to not eat junk food all the time, but just have a junk food day or fast food day, day or a fast food meal, depending on situation, that was a lot for me, you know, and some people will say, oh, don't have a junk food day don't do. Because don't, you know, I say, why not? I have a fast food day.
[00:28:10] And as long as I know that after that day, it's time to get back to it, okay?
[00:28:17] And. And as long as I do that, I know that I can maintain and sustain my regimen, okay?
[00:28:25] And whether the fast food day is looked at as a reward or as a relaxed state or whatever the case may be, your mindset does play a portion into it, you know, so how you look at it does affect you.
[00:28:46] And the way I look at my fast food day is it's an opportunity to rotate what I want to eat. You know, I might have some burgers, you know, saying, or I might have some pizza, I might have some, you know, whatever.
[00:29:03] It's my opportunity to do that, you know, and I like being able to do that, you know, and then I get back at it and I'm focusing on the grind again. I'm focusing on eating right again. I'm focusing on doing what I need to do, okay?
[00:29:21] And that takes a lot of discipline. And I want to encourage you to let you know that you can do it too. Whether it's toning up, bulking up, chiseling up, trimming down, whatever it may be, you know, saying you can do it and you can use that same drive and determination, segue it over into whatever, getting your college degree, finishing your college degree, getting your ged, finishing your ged, you know what I'm saying?
[00:29:53] Studying for that promotion, you know, getting that promotion, you know, all of that, it plays a part into that, you know, whether you're are trying to get promoted or whether you're starting your own business, the research, the dedication, the drive, the determination that goes into losing weight, gaining weight, chiseling up, toning up goes into that as well.
[00:30:22] So that's why I make the correlation between the two.
[00:30:28] So that, you know, that, you know, it is something that you can do that can be done, you know, I'm not saying it's going to be easy because there are times, if you follow a lot of my podcasts, you could go back into history, you hear me say, oh, start it over again, whoopsie. You know, and in that, you know, but I have achieved the goal, you know, oh, I made it to, you know, 235 or made it to 240 again, you know, I have that roller coaster, which is kind of like my norm now, for real. You know, I have had times where, especially during the holiday season where I gained weight and people see me were like, oh, my God. You're, you're, you're, you're fat. But.
[00:31:18] And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I gained some weight. But then there are times where they see me in the summertime or towards the end of the spring, and they're like, oh, my God.
[00:31:28] Wow. You know, that's, that's my roller coaster. And I'm very well aware of that. But that's also segue into like, you know, what I've chosen to eat and most of the time when I gain weight is because I'm not sticking to my fast food meal or fast food day or whatever. It's because I'm having fast food every day.
[00:31:52] Junk food every day. Yay.
[00:31:57] You know, saying it happens, you know, but just because it happens doesn't mean you give up. It means that, okay, it happened, fine, let's focus on getting it right, doing it. You know, we're gonna do this, you know what I'm saying, and get it done.
[00:32:19] So it's like there were times where I were gonna have a fast food day on Sunday, which is usually my day to have a fast food day, but then there was a special occasion that popped up and I had a fast food day on Saturday, but then I had another fast food day on Sunday, but Sunday night, guess where I was? I was at the gym burning off those calories I earned. Okay.
[00:32:49] You know what I'm saying?
[00:32:50] All right? So I just want to let you know that you could do it too. And. And it's not going to be easy. That's where discipline come in. The motivation of saying the thing has long since tapped out.
[00:33:04] So the discipline of doing the thing has kicked in. So you're going to be. There going to be times where you're not going to want to go to the gym. There are going to be times where you want to have that gallon of ice cream and eat it all yourself. Okay?
[00:33:22] That's gonna happen.
[00:33:24] For those y' all who are trying to finish your degree or college or GED or whatever, even high school, whatever it may be, they're gonna be times. We're gonna be like, I don't want to do this homework. I don't want to do this report. I wanna, I want to go out and party like everybody else. Seem like everybody else having fun but me, I'm. I'm stuck in the house doing this report, what's going on?
[00:33:48] You know what I'm saying?
[00:33:49] But if you stick to it, keep your nose to the grindstone, it's going to feel good to. When you have completed that report, you've done your homework and all that stuff, and you have that knowledge. So when they ask you what is whatever the case may be, you have the answer for them. And for those who didn't do that studying, they're going to be always those outliers, those smart guys or gals.
[00:34:16] They're just like, oh, it's this, this, this. And you're like, I know you were out partying the entire time. Oh, no, I studied that back in, you know, second grade. Like, oh, okay, show off.
[00:34:28] You know what I'm saying? But I say all that to say that, you know, you could do it too, just be motivated. And I just wanted to take the time out to motivate you and let you know that you could do it too. Okay? That's one of my big things I always want to do, is to motivate you, to let you know that you could do it. Do not give up, okay? There are going to be times when you're going to want to give up. Okay? You're going to be like, okay, I'm done.
[00:34:55] I'm throwing in the proverbial towel, you know? But then when you actually able to finish the race, complete it, all that joy, all that pain turns into joy and triumph, you know, saying you're fatigued, you're tired, you might be crying, but you're happy because you're finished. Okay? You finished the race. All right.
[00:35:18] All right. So I just wanted to encourage you in that. Let you know that you could do it. Okay? So be encouraged. Know that you could do it. And yeah, okay.
[00:35:31] Before we close out, I want to give a couple of shout outs, shout out to the Sommar Neighborhood Council and also big shout out to the IMEI radio station as well as music, Hollywood fashion, online magazine.

That's, you know, that's all I ask, you know, and comment below. Let me know your thoughts.
[00:36:40] But thank you so much for checking out the JB and I Show.
[00:36:44] We've been around. This is season seven and we've been around for a while, and I'm just happy to still be able to do this thing. And, and even though technically right now it's still a hobby, it's a hobby I enjoy, and I'm glad that you guys enjoy it too, by way of listening to it. And I want to do more. I'm open to your suggestions. I want to do some live caveat things as well.
[00:37:15] So there's a lot coming down the pipeline that I want to do.
[00:37:20] I'm going to do a segment possibly on the IMEI radio station.
[00:37:26] I think it was like a year ago. They almost went under.
[00:37:30] They had to make some sacrifices. They were off the air for a short while, but then they came back strong.
[00:37:39] So I want to give them a shout out the IMEI radio station. And you can Google it and find it. They have their radio station listed in several directories and such, and they play top 40 in indie music. So if you have some independent music, pop, R and B, easy listening, such like that, send it their way. I'm sure they won't mind.
[00:38:08] Their email, I believe is IME Enterprises with the z mail.com and just put in music submission their subject line, and I'm sure if they like it and such like that, they'll get it on for you. Okay.
[00:38:28] All right, y', all, you know, saying this is another dynamic, awesome, great, wonderful show for you. The JB and I show.
[00:38:41] You know, again, I just wanted to say thank you for your support. I, I, you know, there's so much other podcasts out there that I know that you guys can listen to, and sometimes my podcast, I feel like it be too short, and other times I feel like it'd be too long.
[00:39:02] So. But those of y', all, y' all just, you know, continue to listen to it and, and show your support and everything, and y' all will even ask me about it and. And such like that, in my opinion. And such like that. And that. That really makes me feel good, you guys. And I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much.
[00:39:23] I've been hosting the JB and I show. I think it's been some years now, actually.
[00:39:30] We've been signatory by sag. I don't know if y' all know that or not. And so that's a good thing because I am a SAG member and I'm really thrilled to be able to do this even as a hobby.
[00:39:51] And if I'm ever blessed to be able to do this full time, it's definitely considered a blessing because if this right now, right here, I consider it a blessing. And I do just think if I'm able to like, wow, be able to do this full time, blessing is an understatement, you know, and. Well, you know what I mean? I.
[00:40:15] Words wouldn't be. I wouldn't have the words. I put it that way, I probably would be grown man crying, you know what I'm saying?
[00:40:25] Just to be like, to be able to do this like full time and such like that, you know, to be able to do what I enjoy full time would mean so much to me.
[00:40:38] Just being able to do it period, means a lot to me. Okay. So I just want to say thank you. Thank you, thank you. And thank you again. Okay. Did I say thank you?
[00:40:50] Have a wonderful and blessed and glorious day. I hope to see you guys next time. And as I always say, until next time, bye.
[00:41:03] I am the fire hook.
