8
00:00:40,159.999 --> 00:00:41,260
I'd really appreciate it.
9
00:00:41,719.999 --> 00:00:43,170
It helps a lot.
10
00:00:43,250 --> 00:00:46,599.999
Okay, that's my plug for the day.
11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,499.999
How y'all doing? Okay, it's been a really depressing week.
12
00:00:51,659.999 --> 00:01:06,439.999
Since I was a little boy, the two main things that I remember were Vietnam and how that affected our society and And the conflicts in the Middle East, and these conflicts in the Middle East are still happening.
13
00:01:09,139.999 --> 00:01:16,899.999
You know, it all started with the, the foundation of Israel as a country, and I am not against that at all.
14
00:01:17,279.999 --> 00:01:18,819.998
Please don't get me wrong.
15
00:01:20,49.999 --> 00:01:29,560
But this thing is so complicated, I am not going to even pretend to understand the ramifications, the reasons, the ins and the outs.
16
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:34,909.999
I watch Al Jazeera TV, and then I watch.
17
00:01:35,445 --> 00:01:37,175
Israeli TV.
18
00:01:37,805 --> 00:01:40,485
And all I do is get really confused.
19
00:01:41,945 --> 00:01:48,345
I'm not, I am not drawing moral equivalency between the two sides.
20
00:01:48,405 --> 00:01:50,325
I think that Hamas.
21
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:51,460
is evil.
22
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:53,680
All they want to do is kill Jews.
23
00:01:54,250 --> 00:02:04,960
They're a jihad organization, like ISIS and Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, and they're killing Jews, just like they think they're supposed to do.
24
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:07,519.999
It's disgusting.
25
00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:22,780
But then you have Israel bombing the hell out of Gaza, where they have no Iron Dome, like Israel does, to protect them from incoming rockets.
26
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:30,950
On the other hand, Israel says they need to do that in order to to flush out the terrorists who are hiding amongst the people.
27
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:33,730
I don't know the answer.
28
00:02:33,909.999 --> 00:02:35,230
I just don't know the answer.
29
00:02:35,230 --> 00:02:37,280
All I know is it's extremely sad.
30
00:02:37,539.999 --> 00:02:39,340
It's making me depressed.
31
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:49,170
And I need to start to, I need to stop watching the news, but I won't because I'm a political and news junkie.
32
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:58,030
Anybody out there who has family or friends involved directly with this, if you're listening, I, I, my heart goes out to you.
33
00:02:58,59.999 --> 00:03:05,290
Let me know if you have any ideas about this, send an email to Ray Renati, R A Y R E N A T I at gmail.
34
00:03:05,290 --> 00:03:05,730
com.
35
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:08,500
Or greenroomonair at gmail.
36
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,940
com and I will be happy to discuss this with anyone.
37
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:21,820
Alright, you know, what I'd like to do today is talk about a TV show that I have been watching.
38
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,369.999
On Starz television of all places.
39
00:03:27,025 --> 00:03:39,285
If you want to watch some shows, some TV that is not very well known, but is good, go to Starz and do a trial subscription.
40
00:03:39,885 --> 00:03:44,335
You have the TV show Outlander on there, which is a lot of fun.
41
00:03:46,660 --> 00:03:51,330
And one that is a sleeper show that I found, and it's called Minx.
42
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:57,680
It's a comedy series that follows the story of the main character, Joyce Prigger.
43
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:06,710
She's a young feminist, she's a writer, and she wants to create the first erotic magazine for women in the 1970s in Los Angeles.
44
00:04:07,545 --> 00:04:08,875
And that's not how it starts off.
45
00:04:08,885 --> 00:04:11,675
She's very reluctant, but eventually that's where she gets.
46
00:04:12,395 --> 00:04:15,075
She teams up with this guy named Doug Renetti.
47
00:04:15,435 --> 00:04:22,135
And when I first saw that name on his business card when he gave it to her, I almost went into shock because it's ALMOST my name.
48
00:04:22,374.999 --> 00:04:25,545
My last name is R E N A T I and his is...
49
00:04:25,935 --> 00:04:29,335
The character's name is R E N E T T I.
50
00:04:29,805 --> 00:04:31,745
That's the closest I've ever seen...
51
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,330
Anyone on TV come to having my name.
52
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,660
So that was kind of cool.
53
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:50,380
Now he's a, I guess what you would call a low rent publisher of adult entertainment who sees an opportunity to make money and gain respect in the industry when he meets Joyce.
54
00:04:51,229.999 --> 00:05:01,919.999
Together they face various challenges and obstacles such as the conservative politicians, sexist rivals, moral dilemmas.
55
00:05:02,870 --> 00:05:11,120
And then conflicts between each other, which are the most fun as they try to get this thing off the ground.
56
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:23,199.999
This magazine called makes the main characters are Joyce Prigger, played by the wonderful Ophelia love a bond, who is, to me, an unknown young British actress.
57
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,580
I guess she's probably in her 30s.
58
00:05:24,610 --> 00:05:31,210
Now I went and watched 1 of her 1st films that was from, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago.
59
00:05:32,030 --> 00:05:39,880
And it was on what's that island between in the Mediterranean, between Africa and Europe.
60
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:40,440
I forgot.
61
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,320
It's a tiny little island.
62
00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:43,660
It was placed there.
63
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:45,529.9995
And the acting is good.
64
00:05:45,529.9995 --> 00:05:46,540.0005
I didn't get through the whole film.
65
00:05:47,45.0005 --> 00:05:52,945.0005
It's an independent film, and it's kind of self aware and weird, but she's, she's cute.
66
00:05:53,5.0005 --> 00:05:54,815.0005
And when she was young, she was gorgeous.
67
00:05:54,815.0005 --> 00:05:56,584.9995
But she's still very attractive.
68
00:05:56,584.9995 --> 00:06:00,95.0005
And, but she, she, she does a fantastic job.
69
00:06:00,95.0005 --> 00:06:01,235.0005
Ophelia love a bond.
70
00:06:01,475.0005 --> 00:06:02,964.9995
She's smart as the character.
71
00:06:02,965.0005 --> 00:06:08,925.0005
She's ambitious, passionate about feminism and feminist writing to the point where it's very funny.
72
00:06:09,235.0005 --> 00:06:09,305.0005
Yeah.
73
00:06:09,745.0005 --> 00:06:15,285.0005
She wants to change the world, basically with her magazine, but she struggles with her own insecurities and doubts.
74
00:06:15,285.0005 --> 00:06:23,304.9995
And so that conflict really adds a lot to the show and Doug Renetti played by the very funny actor, Jake Johnson.
75
00:06:23,304.9995 --> 00:06:26,175.0015
He's the co founder of publisher of minks.
76
00:06:26,750.0005 --> 00:06:29,220.0005
He's really savvy as a businessman.
77
00:06:29,510.0005 --> 00:06:30,850.0005
He knows how to sell sex.
78
00:06:30,860.0005 --> 00:06:31,460.0005
That's for sure.
79
00:06:31,460.0005 --> 00:06:34,390.0005
Because he has a ton of porn magazines already.
80
00:06:34,390.0005 --> 00:06:43,390.0005
It is bottom dollar entertainment publishing company, but he also has a soft spot for Joyce and her vision.
81
00:06:44,240.0005 --> 00:06:50,960.0005
And he's often conflicted between his professional and his personal interests because.
82
00:06:51,345.0005 --> 00:06:52,105.0005
He likes her.
83
00:06:53,445.0005 --> 00:06:57,625.0005
Then there's a character, Bambi, played by Jessica Lowe.
84
00:06:58,865.0005 --> 00:07:05,15.0005
She's the stereotypical sort of blonde, airhead, but not stupid character.
85
00:07:05,765.0005 --> 00:07:06,615.0005
And she does it well.
86
00:07:06,615.0005 --> 00:07:09,205.0005
The only problem I have with her is her diction.
87
00:07:09,305.0005 --> 00:07:14,535.0005
As she tries to do this character, sometimes she just talks too fast, too high, and doesn't enunciate.
88
00:07:14,975.0015 --> 00:07:16,615.0015
We keep on missing what she says.
89
00:07:17,825.0015 --> 00:07:26,785.0015
I, she's also, she also had a part on The Righteous Gemstones on HBO, where she played a very aggressive Southern preacher woman.
90
00:07:26,905.0005 --> 00:07:28,685.0005
And I understood every word she said.
91
00:07:28,685.0015 --> 00:07:30,965.0015
So it's the character that's causing the problem.
92
00:07:30,975.0015 --> 00:07:34,85.0005
Maybe I just can't hear high pitches anymore, so it might be me.
93
00:07:34,855.0015 --> 00:07:40,295.0015
But Bambi is Joyce's best friend and co editor of Minx.
94
00:07:41,515.0015 --> 00:07:43,835.0015
She's a former noon model for Doug.
95
00:07:45,500.0025 --> 00:07:49,190.0025
For all of his magazines, and then she becomes the centerfold coordinator.
96
00:07:49,260.0025 --> 00:07:50,830.0025
She's fun loving, adventurous.
97
00:07:51,400.0025 --> 00:07:51,860.0025
It's fun.
98
00:07:52,420.0025 --> 00:07:52,910.0025
Very fun.
99
00:07:53,340.0025 --> 00:08:20,75.0025
One of the most interesting things I find about this show, and it doesn't surprise me at all, but it, it marks the incredible prudeness, is that a word? Prudeness of our society and the incredible religiosity of Of American society, because if this were in England, it wouldn't happen.
100
00:08:20,135.0025 --> 00:08:22,275.0025
So let me tell you what I'm talking about.
101
00:08:23,695.0025 --> 00:08:30,615.0015
1 of the things I like to do is go into rotten tomatoes, the website rotten tomatoes.
102
00:08:31,45.0025 --> 00:08:43,55.0025
And look at the tomato meter is a tomato meter for reviewers, professional reviewers and there's also 1 once for a tomato rating for audience scores.
103
00:08:44,580.0025 --> 00:08:49,910.0025
And the tomato meter for the reviewers is 98 percent fresh.
104
00:08:49,940.0025 --> 00:08:55,100.0025
That means 98 percent of all professional television reviewers on.
105
00:08:56,80.0025 --> 00:08:59,830.0025
Television in newspapers and blogs love the show.
106
00:09:01,290.0025 --> 00:09:11,440.0025
However, on Rotten Tomatoes, the people who've gone in and rated the show only 45 percent like the show.
107
00:09:12,350.0025 --> 00:09:17,750.0015
So it, it's an absolute failure with audience members on Rotten Tomatoes.
108
00:09:18,460.0015 --> 00:09:53,365.0025
Now, that doesn't mean it's an absolute failure at large because I think what happens is the very moralistic sort of people will go in On mass and purposely rank this show poorly, and this just again to me shows the ridiculous amount of religiosity that we have in this country and and how many prudes we have, and, you know, in England and France, there's so much more nudity on movie and TVs that no one cares here.
109
00:09:53,405.0025 --> 00:09:54,715.0025
The problem is.
110
00:09:55,100.0025 --> 00:10:00,510.0025
And I'll read some of the reviews to you and I'll tell you what it is exactly is.
111
00:10:00,510.0025 --> 00:10:03,740.0025
There's a lot of full frontal male nudity in this show.
112
00:10:05,80.0025 --> 00:10:08,530.0015
Now, nobody has a problem with full frontal female nudity.
113
00:10:08,550.0025 --> 00:10:12,30.0025
Well, not nobody, but there's much less of a problem in our society.
114
00:10:12,70.0015 --> 00:10:17,710.0015
But if you have full frontal male nudity, people see that is extremely offensive.
115
00:10:19,530.0025 --> 00:10:25,990.0025
Now, if you look at some of the reviews from the top critics, let's say, I agree with all these things.
116
00:10:25,990.0025 --> 00:10:32,290.0025
I mean Candace Frederick from Huffington Post, showrunner Ellen Rapoport keeps Minx oddly breezy.
117
00:10:32,600.0025 --> 00:10:34,720.0025
Raw, raw, and incredibly safe.
118
00:10:35,220.0025 --> 00:10:36,950.0025
Now, see, she goes the other way with it.
119
00:10:37,660.0025 --> 00:10:42,870.0025
And that is enough to keep viewers entertained, but the subtext is white fantasy and innovation.
120
00:10:43,190.0025 --> 00:10:43,630.0025
True.
121
00:10:44,150.0015 --> 00:10:47,750.0025
Minx, the publication, now this is from Katie Waldman from the New Yorker.
122
00:10:48,20.0015 --> 00:10:53,374.9025
Minx, the publication, is politics, is politics just dressed up as fun.
123
00:10:53,845.0025 --> 00:10:58,35.0025
Minx the show is fun that barely bothers to dress up as politics.
124
00:10:59,505.0025 --> 00:11:00,475.0025
Wait, let me say that again.
125
00:11:01,675.0025 --> 00:11:05,565.0025
Minx the publication is politics dressed up as fun.
126
00:11:06,135.0025 --> 00:11:06,735.0025
Minx.
127
00:11:07,235.0025 --> 00:11:14,605.0025
The show, as opposed to the magazine, is fun that barely bothers to dress up as politics.
128
00:11:14,715.0025 --> 00:11:15,265.0025
True.
129
00:11:15,745.0025 --> 00:11:16,835.0015
At least at first.
130
00:11:17,275.0025 --> 00:11:20,485.0025
But what it really cares about are its characters.
131
00:11:22,375.0015 --> 00:11:22,965.0015
Very true.
132
00:11:23,635.0015 --> 00:11:31,535.0015
When she says at least at first, later on, and I think I started to get into that in season 2, and maybe they knew season 3 wasn't going to happen.
133
00:11:31,745.0015 --> 00:11:32,625.0015
I don't think it is.
134
00:11:33,115.0015 --> 00:11:33,695.0015
I'm not sure.
135
00:11:34,10.0015 --> 00:11:38,150.0015
But they got a little preachy and the show was still good, but it got a little bit too preachy.
136
00:11:38,150.0015 --> 00:11:38,970.0015
But it's okay.
137
00:11:38,970.0015 --> 00:11:40,20.0015
It is still a good show.
138
00:11:40,150.0015 --> 00:11:43,710.0015
Episode four, I think in season two for all the shows.
139
00:11:43,710.0015 --> 00:11:49,810.0015
This is from Scroll in, from Tita Juila for all the shows.
140
00:11:49,810.0015 --> 00:11:55,490.0015
Bold imagery of men and women in the nude, the fun and Witt and love of Bond's, bouncy performance.
141
00:11:55,670.0015 --> 00:11:58,760.0015
Joyce is the one character who doesn't shed her skin.
142
00:11:58,820.0015 --> 00:11:59,270.0015
That's true.
143
00:11:59,270.0015 --> 00:12:01,980.0015
She doesn't ever, anyway, the critics love it.
144
00:12:02,385.0015 --> 00:12:12,655.0015
Now, if you go to the audience members, okay, and there are a number of people who gave it 4 or 5 stars, but the majority, it's 1, 2, 3 stars.
145
00:12:14,665.0015 --> 00:12:19,65.0005
For fairness, let me read a 5 star from an audience member.
146
00:12:19,605.0005 --> 00:12:22,745.0005
Minx is great fun and quite the entertaining experience.
147
00:12:22,795.0005 --> 00:12:29,125.0005
A nice blend of comedy and serious social commentary that is still relevant in many aspects for today's society.
148
00:12:29,710.0005 --> 00:12:34,640.0005
It appears many reviewers here may have been offended at these observations of those times.
149
00:12:35,260.0005 --> 00:12:35,880.0005
True.
150
00:12:36,380.0005 --> 00:12:40,440.0005
But I suggest you decide for yourself instead of trusting review bombers.
151
00:12:41,150.0005 --> 00:12:42,910.0005
I'm with the critics in this one.
152
00:12:44,250.0005 --> 00:12:45,330.0005
I think that's part of it.
153
00:12:45,359.9995 --> 00:12:51,280.0005
I think that a lot of people may have not lived through this time in the 70s.
154
00:12:51,300.0005 --> 00:12:54,890.0005
It's, it's, it's it's placed in the 60s and 70s.
155
00:12:54,990.0005 --> 00:12:55,820.0005
And.
156
00:12:57,110.0005 --> 00:13:14,369.9995
Perfectly captures the attitude around sex and sexual issues at the time, and either these people were offended at the time if they're old enough, which you'd have to be pretty old, like me, or they're from the politically correct.
157
00:13:14,660.0005 --> 00:13:19,109.9995
Young generation that we have now here, let me just read you the.
158
00:13:19,539.9995 --> 00:13:24,620.0005
Some of the hundreds of 1 star and 2 star reviews and half star reviews.
159
00:13:25,90.0005 --> 00:13:27,760.0005
Here for Betty, why? Very bad taste.
160
00:13:27,770.0005 --> 00:13:30,330.0005
Surprised this got made in 2022.
161
00:13:31,70.0005 --> 00:13:35,660.0005
CCG, what the hell is wrong with these people? Sophie D, crude and vulgar.
162
00:13:35,660.0005 --> 00:13:38,70.0005
Male nudity does not equal comedy.
163
00:13:38,220.0005 --> 00:13:46,140.0005
See? Now, I believe that almost all these people, that's what's in their mind, although they may not type it in here.
164
00:13:46,520.0005 --> 00:13:50,910.0005
One star from Linda, problematic and problematic and tone deaf.
165
00:13:51,150.0005 --> 00:14:00,159.9025
Okay, tone deaf is one of those code words now that we have in our country that means you're not progressive enough and you don't.
166
00:14:00,960.0025 --> 00:14:10,900.002
Understand the, the, what you're supposed to say and not say because of the word police that exists in our left wing society.
167
00:14:10,900.002 --> 00:14:12,100.0025
I'm left wing.
168
00:14:12,100.0025 --> 00:14:30,550.0025
I guess I'm a Democrat, but I'm certainly not on to agreeing with progressive and lefties who want to squelch people's 1st amendment rights and people who want to, you know, police pronouns and get angry when you don't use the right ones and all that kind of crap.
169
00:14:31,195.0025 --> 00:14:32,525.0025
And that's what we got a lot of.
170
00:14:32,555.0025 --> 00:14:35,555.0025
And then also you also have here the religious right.
171
00:14:35,655.0025 --> 00:14:37,885.0025
Diane D just came across this.
172
00:14:37,895.0025 --> 00:14:41,165.0015
It's just porn you can get free on the internet.
173
00:14:41,175.0015 --> 00:14:45,5.0025
Surprised that streaming service is lowering themselves to this.
174
00:14:45,45.0015 --> 00:14:46,765.0015
That is absolutely wrong.
175
00:14:47,365.0015 --> 00:14:48,725.0015
This show is not porn.
176
00:14:49,495.0015 --> 00:14:51,695.0025
This show is satire and it's funny.
177
00:14:52,410.0025 --> 00:15:02,320.0025
And it actually is extremely accurate in terms of the attitudes of those times.
178
00:15:03,40.0015 --> 00:15:03,680.0025
I was there.
179
00:15:04,560.0025 --> 00:15:05,480.0025
Ruth R.
180
00:15:05,500.0025 --> 00:15:09,570.0025
This show makes you wonder what type of people they are hiring at HBO Max.
181
00:15:09,600.0035 --> 00:15:10,260.0035
No, thank you.
182
00:15:10,270.0015 --> 00:15:12,730.0025
First of all, it's not even on HBO Max.
183
00:15:13,220.0025 --> 00:15:17,240.0025
It's on Starz, okay? Peta P.
184
00:15:17,250.0025 --> 00:15:17,810.0025
Yuck.
185
00:15:18,40.0025 --> 00:15:20,260.0025
Kind of vile and creepy and perverted.
186
00:15:20,300.0025 --> 00:15:21,940.0025
Alright, you get the picture.
187
00:15:22,495.0025 --> 00:15:27,125.0025
And I could go on, there are literally hundreds of these here, hundreds.
188
00:15:28,875.0025 --> 00:15:34,885.0025
This is indicative of our society, and this is, as I see it, one of the huge problems of our society, because people...
189
00:15:35,530.0025 --> 00:15:37,120.0025
are super judgmental.
190
00:15:37,850.0025 --> 00:15:40,200.0025
People are very, very pent up.
191
00:15:40,310.0025 --> 00:15:48,180.0025
I bet you almost all of these one stars, except for the extreme lefties who hated for other reasons.
192
00:15:48,210.0025 --> 00:15:51,930.0025
I bet a lot of these people are MAGA Trump supporter people.
193
00:15:51,940.0015 --> 00:15:53,370.0015
I bet you anything.
194
00:15:54,430.0025 --> 00:15:56,680.0035
Of course I'll know, I won't have no way of proving that.
195
00:15:56,680.0035 --> 00:15:58,580.0035
It's just my intuition.
196
00:16:00,380.0035 --> 00:16:07,660.0035
Yeah, so if you want to get involved in this controversy, get a trial subscription to S.
197
00:16:07,660.0035 --> 00:16:07,740.0035
T.
198
00:16:07,740.0035 --> 00:16:07,750.0035
A.
199
00:16:07,750.0035 --> 00:16:07,940.0035
R.
200
00:16:07,940.0035 --> 00:16:08,90.0035
S.
201
00:16:08,90.0035 --> 00:16:11,30.0035
because I'm guessing probably most of you don't subscribe.
202
00:16:11,700.0035 --> 00:16:12,400.0035
And check it out.
203
00:16:12,400.0035 --> 00:16:13,530.0035
It's really worth it.
204
00:16:14,280.0035 --> 00:16:16,700.0035
Or subscribe for a month or two and watch the show.
205
00:16:16,750.0025 --> 00:16:17,890.0035
There are two seasons.
206
00:16:18,980.0025 --> 00:16:21,190.0035
I don't know if there's going to be a season three.
207
00:16:21,310.0035 --> 00:16:22,159.9035
Let's find out.
208
00:16:22,540.0035 --> 00:16:25,640.0035
See season three.
209
00:16:26,450.0035 --> 00:16:28,550.0035
Oh God, I almost dropped my microphone.
210
00:16:28,670.0035 --> 00:16:29,930.0035
Season three minks.
211
00:16:30,50.0035 --> 00:16:31,100.0035
I have it on the stand here.
212
00:16:31,100.0035 --> 00:16:32,60.0035
I almost knocked it over.
213
00:16:32,870.0035 --> 00:16:38,630.0035
MX hasn't yet been renewed by stars, but the good news is that season two just finished airing last week.
214
00:16:39,780.0035 --> 00:16:40,650.0035
So a renewal could.
215
00:16:40,650.0035 --> 00:16:41,730.0035
A renewal could happen.
216
00:16:42,365.0035 --> 00:16:45,355.0035
Entertainment Weekly said she absolutely wants a third season.
217
00:16:46,805.0035 --> 00:16:48,525.0035
Well, okay, so there's a possibility.
218
00:16:48,535.0035 --> 00:16:50,765.0035
Yay, I hope it happens because I love the show.
219
00:16:51,585.0035 --> 00:16:54,745.0035
M I N X, Minx, on Starz.
220
00:16:55,575.0025 --> 00:16:57,675.003
All right, everybody, that's that's it for today's show.
221
00:16:57,725.002 --> 00:17:01,975.003
I hope that these wars come to an end.
222
00:17:02,285.003 --> 00:17:06,735.003
Ukraine, Israel, Gaza.
223
00:17:07,490.003 --> 00:17:08,520.003
All these places.
224
00:17:09,510.003 --> 00:17:10,740.003
I don't want World War 3.
225
00:17:11,620.003 --> 00:17:16,510.003
I don't want that for my kids and my grandkids, if I have them ever, and for anybody.
226
00:17:21,800.003 --> 00:17:25,940.003
And I need to get some exercise and work on an audition I'm doing.
227
00:17:27,160.002 --> 00:17:30,220.003
And I need to get out of this funk, because it's not fun.
228
00:17:31,580.002 --> 00:17:32,730.003
The news affects me.
229
00:17:32,780.002 --> 00:17:33,750.002
The world affects me.
230
00:17:34,610.002 --> 00:17:37,500.003
And I suspect it affects many of you, too.
231
00:17:38,560.003 --> 00:17:39,300.003
Alright, folks.
232
00:17:40,260.003 --> 00:17:41,730.003
Much love and peace.
233
00:17:42,470.003 --> 00:17:45,480.003
And until next time, I will see you on the boards.
234
00:17:46,420.003 --> 00:17:47,440.003
Take care of yourselves.
235
00:17:55,990.003 --> 00:17:57,820.003
We all just try to be heard.
236
00:17:59,510.002 --> 00:18:01,480.003
Try to make our nests worked.
237
00:18:02,230.003 --> 00:18:05,140.002
So stand up straight and speak loud.
238
00:18:06,900.002 --> 00:18:09,110.003
And in the end, I'm sure you'll do them proud.
239
00:18:11,395.003 --> 00:18:13,135.003
Everything will come through.
240
00:18:14,685.003 --> 00:18:16,945.003
It depends on all that you choose.
241
00:18:18,665.003 --> 00:18:20,565.003
Now raise your spirit to the sky.
242
00:18:22,235.002 --> 00:18:25,115.003
Cause it's time for us to realize.
243
00:18:26,0.003 --> 00:19:25,80.003
There's no time for choosing sides We need to pick who's in our lives Hold your heart and keep it strong And I know we'll carry on Before you hinder someone new Remember who you are Remember that's a choice you can't undo.
244
00:19:26,730.003 --> 00:19:28,490.003
Embrace, accept, don't stop the fight.
245
00:19:29,960.003 --> 00:19:32,330.003
Let music help you reach your highest heights.
