2:49:41 Because Texans make a big stink about their chili never having beans in it and real Chili doesn't have beans in it. They make a big fuss about Okay, what was the problem with the damn beans? Let me make sure it's not loaded with that sound effect was that's my actual ar-15 let me just make sure it's not loaded Yeah Actually. Oh, I see what you're doing. Yeah, that's absolutely what you would do. Yeah. You'd shoot people for putting beans in their chili. Yeah. No. What you do is you shoot people who have a problem with it. Yeah. That's how it works. I have an end of show ISO which we discussed. COVID-19 is never going to end. Play that one again. Yeah, that one. You know, I'm going to do it. It's too long. It's really too long.

2:50:46 You think so? I think it's long, yeah. What do you, what's your idea? I was gonna bump mine to the next show because it's really taken from something we don't have on the show. But play I Hated, this would be good for the end of the show, I Hated That. God, I hated that. I kind of like that. Well, let me see. COVID-19 is never going to end. It's kind of a definitive ender. It's long though, it's three seconds, it's longer than we ever do. God, I hated that. Now that's Jordan Peterson. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Let me see what the trolls say. Trolls? Real quick. They get to say something once. I like the hated that, but I think the other one is so good, even though it's long. I think we can do two precedent breakers.

2:51:43 I'll put mine into next week's clips. Okay. Oh, right. So that we have something to be competitive. That's never been done. And you can run the long one. Well, then, then what are we doing for today? The long one. Oh, the long one today. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Let's just double check. COVID-19 is never going to end. That's kind of nice. I did have one last clip. I don't know if you have anything to end the show. I have a bunch of stuff, but I can easily be moved. I will, I do have a kind of ironic clip that I thought was funny. Did we play this? Now, I'm, unfortunately, I don't know if we played this one before. Let me look at my old clip list.

2:52:26 28, 29. What's this? China director punch. No, we played this one. We did? Yeah, we played Chinese director punish. What were they punished for? This was the woman director who she said she posted something in 2013 saying, you know, there's a lot of lies coming out of the People's Republic. And the next thing you know, she's she was completely noodle gunned. And she's coming out with the big Marvel movie, which is going to be a real problem for Disney. I don't remember this. Let's listen to it. It doesn't hurt. The Chinese regime is leading a statewide boycott of the award-winning film Nomadland. This because of a comment from its Chinese director back in 2013. NTT's Dawn Ma has more.

2:53:20 An award-winning Chinese director is facing backlash in communist China. That's for a comment she made back in 2013, critical of the regime. Chloe Zhao is the director of the 2021 American movie Nomadland. Last Sunday, she made history at the Golden Globe Awards with her new film. Zhao became the first Asian woman ever to win the title of Best Director. Zhao's win was initially celebrated in China. On Chinese social media platform Weibo, her win trended with hundreds of millions of views. Chinese state media even crowned her as the pride of China. Chinese film authorities approved the film for a domestic release in April. But Chinese internet users soon dug up an interview Zhao had in 2013. Zhao told Filmmaker Magazine at the time that China is, quote, a place where there are lies everywhere. A lot of info I received when I was young was not true. I went to England suddenly and relearned my history.

2:54:18 When she was 15, her parents sent her to study in the UK. There, she studied political science in college, and that's where she learned the truth about China. Now the film's release is up in the air, major Chinese online box office apps have removed the movie's release date from their platforms, and the hashtag nomadland is no longer searchable on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Censorship in China could be a significant issue for another film, Jiao Wu Direct. It's a big budget superhero movie called The Eternals by Disney's Marvel Studios. The previous Marvel movie Avengers Endgame had huge earnings in the Chinese market. It earned more than half a billion dollars there. But now Zhao's profit of her upcoming film is put into question. I don't think you played that. Yeah, yeah we did. Because I remember mentioning, I said two things. I said well maybe cancel culture really is a Chinese idea to begin with.

2:55:14 And you kind of agreed and then I said now they got a problem with Disney because Disney's the big Chinese Mavens they got the Disney places, you know, they got Disneyland and they got Disney movies and they got a Disney studio They got everything going on in China and Marvel's owned by Disney and now they got this big-budget Marvel movie that won't play in China This is a disaster. Holy crap. So heads got a role and it's got to be more than just that director. I Especially in a venture they can do and I think I think one of them they will do they'll take her name off the movie That's what you do. There you go. That's easy. Yeah happens all the time It's all the time. It's the douchiest thing you can do to some poor director who did a movie happens It happens happens all the time remember the shoot man

2:56:08 When they had to... Why did they have to reshoot? What movie was that? It wasn't too long ago. They had to recut it all. It was the Top Gun movie had a reshoot. Well, that was because there was a Taiwanese flag on his back and they had to take it off. They had to reshoot a scene. Yeah, but they didn't remove the director's name from that. No, Disney will agree to remove the director's name. And she'll bitch and she'll go to the Directors Guild and bitch. And she's gonna get nowhere because China is so important. She's gonna lose. China is asshole. Yeah, don't trust China. Bill Marshall on HBO was quite entertaining this weekend. I do force myself to watch it. Somebody has to. And moreover, when I saw Neil, I think we talked about that, Neil.
