00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:03.447
Hi everyone, welcome to Brother, sister.
00:00:03.447 --> 00:00:04.690
Whatever, I'm Lisa.
00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:05.612
And I'm Josh.
00:00:06.341 --> 00:00:09.130
And this is Real Talk with Zero Chill.
00:00:09.130 --> 00:00:10.885
Alright, so let's get into it.
00:00:10.885 --> 00:00:20.172
So this episode is about what it means to love something loudly, and how fandom becomes like a weird little home for your feelings.
00:00:20.172 --> 00:00:20.792
Hmm.
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.003
Which is true if you think about it, if I think about it like.
00:00:24.003 --> 00:00:34.304
I think about it like, let's say, taylor Swift, huge fan, not a Swifty, because I equate Swifties with, like you know, looking for Easter eggs and knowing all the details and all that stuff.
00:00:34.304 --> 00:00:43.548
I love her music, know a lot of the words to most of her songs, so can I be like a semi-Swifty you?
00:00:43.569 --> 00:00:44.131
can be whatever you want.
00:00:44.151 --> 00:01:02.786
I'll call myself a semi-Swifty, okay, but I recognize, like you know, like with a lot of songs, actually, you can feel like you can relate in many ways to the things that she's singing, right, or whatever.
00:01:02.786 --> 00:01:19.644
For you it could be Eminem, or whatever, Okay, and so I feel like, for myself, music really does that, all different genres, right, really does that for me, as opposed to, let's say, a TV show.
00:01:19.644 --> 00:01:26.433
I wouldn't necessarily, you know, know, like it says here, like have feelings, would I?
00:01:26.433 --> 00:01:34.918
Would I, though, hold on, let's think about this, josh, welcome everybody to brother, sister, whatever.
00:01:34.918 --> 00:01:35.819
I'm Lisa.
00:01:36.260 --> 00:01:36.820
I'm Josh.
00:01:36.820 --> 00:01:42.930
Well, I think that, like you just said, for you music, music hits.
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:44.251
Something, hits a chord.
00:01:44.251 --> 00:01:50.090
For sure, and I'm sure I mean, have you, have you not had this feeling?
00:01:50.090 --> 00:02:04.628
I've had this feeling where you're watching a movie and something hero-like happens and you feel like this, almost like like yeah you know, like you know like that's true.
00:02:04.707 --> 00:02:08.888
Or even just crying at a scene, right, it's like something like emotes something out of you.
00:02:08.888 --> 00:02:11.823
So yeah, okay, I shouldn't, I shouldn't say it doesn't.
00:02:12.465 --> 00:02:23.391
So I think that that might touch certain people, like I think this is why my son absolutely loves anime, because a lot of the anime, the stock, I mean there's a lot of the anime.
00:02:23.391 --> 00:02:44.673
The style, I mean there's a lot of different styles, but the style that he's watching is like it's always an underdog and it's always someone who wants to be the hero and can't be right now or whatever, and they have to struggle and fight and and and get to that point, you know.
00:02:44.673 --> 00:02:50.046
And so for him I can tell that you know it's it resonates yeah.
00:02:50.067 --> 00:03:12.088
It resonates and like he, he's like oh you know, like he got to that level, you know, like, look at him, you know, and, and so you know, I could see him wanting to dress up or act out that type of behavior, to feel that sense of strength.
00:03:12.088 --> 00:03:12.711
That's true.
00:03:13.842 --> 00:03:22.169
I could relate to some ways in Dragon Ball Z, like Goku, when I was a kid, and he would get beaten up.
00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:29.768
And no matter how much he got beaten up, you know he would scream and, and you know, just get more energy.
00:03:29.768 --> 00:03:33.274
You know to to keep battling through that, you know.
00:03:33.274 --> 00:03:44.930
So there's something about that type of stuff and I think the cosplayers sure, maybe it's just dress up for some, but I think too that some it's way deeper.
00:03:44.990 --> 00:04:08.931
You know, it's like, it's like a connection yeah, this person makes me feel like this, and when I dress up like them, I feel invincible yeah, yeah dressing up as spider-man but also like, even if you were to just look at it from a standpoint because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that are like, look down at that kind of thing oh yeah like what if you just looked at it from a point, because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that are like, look down at that kind of thing.
00:04:08.950 --> 00:04:27.783
Oh yeah, I'm sure Like what, if you just looked at it from a point of view of it's actually harmless fun yeah, dressing up like your hero, or whatever the case and why it also promotes.
00:04:27.783 --> 00:04:28.564
Maybe creativity and imagination.
00:04:28.584 --> 00:04:29.146
Yeah, of course, yeah for sure.
00:04:29.326 --> 00:04:38.199
Like a lot of these, like these serious cosplayers I've seen actually uh videos that they make their own costumes.
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:45.160
They are like they work like for weeks, sometimes months on, like a costume to be able to like.
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.166
Some of them are out of this world.
00:04:47.348 --> 00:04:48.089
Unbelievable.
00:04:48.089 --> 00:04:52.468
So I have to say it's almost in a way, like a business.
00:04:53.331 --> 00:04:56.146
Oh yeah, Look at me, I'm business minded.
00:04:56.146 --> 00:04:57.867
It's definitely a business, though.
00:04:57.939 --> 00:04:59.024
Yeah, it has to be.
00:04:59.180 --> 00:05:00.201
There's no question about it.
00:05:00.201 --> 00:05:09.293
It, I mean you can get all sorts of you know made costumes, or a gun or a sword.
00:05:09.293 --> 00:05:21.485
That's a certain way, and you know you modify the details, but everything yeah crazy it's like real life models in the sense of like a model you know that you build together.
00:05:21.485 --> 00:05:27.552
It's a real life model yeah so yeah, exactly okay.
00:05:28.434 --> 00:05:29.656
So weekly what if?
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:30.762
weekly what if?
00:05:31.562 --> 00:05:35.129
what if a fandom formed around you?
00:05:35.129 --> 00:05:40.480
So there's a fan art of you, fan fiction.
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.567
You know someone's shipping you with your barista.
00:05:44.567 --> 00:05:50.648
Another person has a theory that your most recent Instagram story proves you're in a redemption arc.
00:05:50.648 --> 00:05:52.572
That's hilarious actually.
00:05:52.572 --> 00:05:54.684
So what?
00:05:54.684 --> 00:05:57.151
How would you handle that kind of attention?
00:05:58.963 --> 00:06:01.319
Like in the sense of like, I'm a celebrity, basically.
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.846
Yeah, like you have fans, like legit fans.
00:06:04.846 --> 00:06:06.649
How would you handle that?
00:06:06.649 --> 00:06:11.920
And on a more fun spin, what?
00:06:12.665 --> 00:06:14.600
would your fandom be called?
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.211
I have no idea.
00:06:17.211 --> 00:06:19.045
I have no idea what they would be called.
00:06:19.045 --> 00:06:35.754
I'm not that artistic, but I can tell you this I think I would be If I, if if I had these fans and they were like oh my gosh, we love you and so-and-so movies, or whatever, I think I would be that guy.
00:06:35.754 --> 00:06:39.127
You know that that makes sure I stop to every.
00:06:39.127 --> 00:06:40.149
I know it'll be.
00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:42.062
You know a lot, but stops and takes the time to.
00:06:42.062 --> 00:06:44.211
You know, have every, because some people you know a lot but stops and takes the time to.
00:06:44.211 --> 00:06:53.492
You know, have every because some people you know they they're so, you know, infatuated with that and it's like it.
00:06:53.492 --> 00:07:03.083
All it takes is just you know one second for that celebrity to be like hi, you know, or whatever, and it's like oh, you know, it makes their day.
00:07:03.403 --> 00:07:04.925
And you know, you see it all the time.
00:07:04.925 --> 00:07:06.067
You know I, I get it.
00:07:06.067 --> 00:07:34.142
They get picked and prodded non-stop, you know so I can't relate, but but you know, I, I feel like you know there are some celebrities out there that are a little bit more like conscious of that and so they kind of give, give, give yeah you know, like the rock Dwayne Johnson, I mean, you know they're doing tourist bus and he'll come with his car and park in front of the tourists and wave and sign.
00:07:34.463 --> 00:07:40.824
You know, like there's just something about that see, I think, I think it has my.
00:07:41.084 --> 00:07:44.310
My perception of it is that it's the level of gratitude.
00:07:44.310 --> 00:07:45.353
Yeah.
00:07:45.353 --> 00:08:10.651
When, like taking Dwayne Johnson as an example, he it's well known, he started from nothing, yeah Right, and even going into WrestleMania WrestleMania, sorry, wrestling yeah at WrestleMania sorry, wrestling, yeah, uh, he he like the fans are what build you up, right?
00:08:10.651 --> 00:08:10.971
Yeah.
00:08:11.172 --> 00:08:16.276
So, in essence, the idea that you are nothing without your fans is true.
00:08:16.276 --> 00:08:23.543
Yeah it is so the he started, like I think he.
00:08:23.543 --> 00:08:24.165
He started in wrestling.
00:08:24.165 --> 00:08:25.329
I don't think he was doing anything before that.
00:08:25.329 --> 00:08:28.160
Once he was in wrestling and kind of built up his, then he went into movies and stuff like that.
00:08:28.701 --> 00:08:31.427
He was in pro football until he uh.
00:08:31.487 --> 00:08:32.951
Right Until he got injured or something.
00:08:33.172 --> 00:08:34.181
Well then he got cut.
00:08:34.682 --> 00:08:35.605
Oh, okay, he got cut.
00:08:35.725 --> 00:08:42.505
And then, uh, you know life, dream, life was over Right or like speaking of wrestling, look at the John Cena.
00:08:43.047 --> 00:08:44.229
Same thing, right.
00:08:44.229 --> 00:08:46.212
The fans are what?
00:08:46.212 --> 00:08:49.710
And his philosophy is also the same thing, right.
00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:55.780
You always see him signing for fans and taking pictures and stuff like that Flip side.
00:08:55.780 --> 00:09:07.714
You have some actors, maybe musicians too, that are the opposite.
00:09:07.714 --> 00:09:22.609
It's like I'm not on the clock, so to speak, right now right how dare you come to my table where I'm eating with my kids and now I get it?
00:09:22.609 --> 00:09:28.695
Yeah, because there are many fans and many people out there that take it way too far sometimes.
00:09:28.695 --> 00:09:29.255
For sure.
00:09:29.817 --> 00:09:30.256
I get it.
00:09:30.256 --> 00:09:44.096
I personally, like I've seen somebody, like a famous person having dinner with friends and I just I'm just like so starstruck that I'm just like, oh my God.
00:09:44.096 --> 00:09:47.923
Like you know, like from the side and I never.
00:09:47.923 --> 00:09:57.629
I never approached him, a because I'm just too like my God, but also because I'm aware that he's he's there with.
00:09:57.629 --> 00:09:58.650
You know what I mean.
00:09:58.650 --> 00:09:59.111
Yeah.
00:09:59.572 --> 00:10:01.966
I don't know it's such a double-edged sword.
00:10:01.966 --> 00:10:03.451
I can see both sides.
00:10:03.451 --> 00:10:08.725
I can see both sides from their angle and I can also see both sides from the fans angle.
00:10:08.725 --> 00:10:14.445
It's true, you know so I don't know it's, it's, but it's interesting it's.
00:10:14.544 --> 00:10:29.200
It's just interesting that whole like world you know yeah, so I think that's how I would technically handle the attention okay you know and, in that regard, um would you, would they get it right or completely miss who you are?
00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:30.312
I think.
00:10:30.312 --> 00:10:31.918
Look at Taylor Swift.
00:10:31.918 --> 00:10:42.196
I think the amount of dissection in her life, the Easter eggs and this and that Could they get it wrong.
00:10:42.196 --> 00:10:43.534
Do they always get it right?
00:10:43.534 --> 00:10:47.480
Come on, there's got to be something that could get wrong you know what I mean.
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:58.674
I think there's a lot more wrong than right in a's what I'm saying a lot of the celebrity world, exactly, you know, exactly I mean look at like tmz and you know like god and like what are they?
00:10:58.674 --> 00:10:59.739
What are they saying?
00:10:59.739 --> 00:11:03.289
Like, is anything said that's truthful?
00:11:03.811 --> 00:11:07.057
yeah or is it all just a money grab to like sell, fucking?
00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:14.130
yeah, and some of the celebrities get so ticked off, like with tmz, oh my gosh, because those guys are.
00:11:14.152 --> 00:11:34.674
See the justin bieber one recently that you know him, I I really feel bad for him, you know, because he, he just is getting like I mean, imagine, starting out, like we know, because we've talked about this in the past, that your brain really only is fully developed in your fucking 20s, early 20s, right yeah, this kid started at 12.
00:11:34.674 --> 00:11:35.277
I know.
00:11:35.297 --> 00:11:55.148
Okay, growing up in this fucking nonsense and when you know I think about I'm kind of jumping all over the place but I think about sometimes, about like, oh, you know, like I'd love to do like a podcast with the kids or like, or you know, to be like one of those like YouTube families that, like you know, goes around recording their days and stuff.
00:11:55.148 --> 00:12:03.278
Do I, let's say, you hit that level of of where you're getting paid and you're getting millions of views on your, on your thing?
00:12:03.278 --> 00:12:08.402
Do you want, really want, to be into that kind of a fucking scrutiny every day?
00:12:08.970 --> 00:12:12.019
Well, you know, there was actually, I think, something on Netflix.
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.015
Yes, kid fluencing.
00:12:15.417 --> 00:12:15.638
Yeah.
00:12:15.770 --> 00:12:21.198
There's been a couple of different and, like the parents almost have to treat their kids like employees at that point.
00:12:21.418 --> 00:12:22.642
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
00:12:22.642 --> 00:12:23.423
It's pretty bad.
00:12:24.514 --> 00:12:27.428
But you've heard, like the Ruby Frankie story, right?
00:12:27.428 --> 00:12:27.529
Yeah.
00:12:27.529 --> 00:12:28.312
And stuff like that.
00:12:28.312 --> 00:12:43.039
Anyways, I'm going totally off topic, but it just kind of lets you remind you of like, or makes you think about, what you would be willing to go through for that level of fame and money, and is it even really worth it?
00:12:43.059 --> 00:12:52.381
I don't know about that I know, part of me is like I think I'll just stay in my nook and have my coffee and do my little art with my kids.
00:12:52.381 --> 00:12:57.760
Okay, so there's different kinds of fandoms right.
00:12:57.760 --> 00:12:58.511
There's TV.
00:12:58.511 --> 00:13:01.759
There's movies, music, gaming.
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:09.582
Yeah, right, I will be very honest and say I know very little about all of them, especially gaming.
00:13:09.582 --> 00:13:13.457
But let's start with TV.
00:13:14.059 --> 00:13:14.341
Okay.
00:13:15.191 --> 00:13:25.885
Are there any TV-like shows that really spark longevity?
00:13:25.885 --> 00:13:28.238
First thing that comes to my mind is Gilmore Girls.
00:13:28.238 --> 00:13:31.416
Oh my gosh Right, the fans for Gilmore Girls.
00:13:31.416 --> 00:13:33.413
That show was like 20 years ago.
00:13:33.413 --> 00:13:34.075
Yeah.
00:13:34.075 --> 00:13:35.697
And it's coming back, friends.
00:13:36.298 --> 00:13:36.558
Yeah.
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:37.620
Seinfeld.
00:13:37.701 --> 00:13:38.363
Walking Dead.
00:13:38.523 --> 00:13:41.977
Walking Dead, game of Thrones, you know.
00:13:41.977 --> 00:13:48.202
So there's tons that have fandom, old and new.
00:13:48.543 --> 00:13:51.191
Yeah, dead Boy Detectives I loved.
00:13:51.231 --> 00:13:52.923
I've never heard old and new yeah, dead boy detectives.
00:13:52.942 --> 00:13:53.325
I love that one.
00:13:53.325 --> 00:13:54.009
Oh my gosh, you should know.
00:13:54.009 --> 00:14:02.860
No, not not exactly new, new, but dead boy detectives, uh, it's a comic okay, but they made a real movie out of it, a real tv show out of it.
00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:06.291
But um, if I'm not mistaken, I have to double check.
00:14:06.291 --> 00:14:08.839
I hope they're renewing.
00:14:08.839 --> 00:14:11.025
I don't know if they're renewing for second season.
00:14:11.025 --> 00:14:14.513
That's sad, you know some of these ones did you watch?
00:14:15.153 --> 00:14:19.780
uh, like, for example, chaos k-a-o-s.
00:14:19.780 --> 00:14:23.346
Oh my gosh, it was the best.
00:14:23.346 --> 00:14:26.715
They canceled it after the first season.
00:14:26.715 --> 00:14:28.136
I really don't know why.
00:14:28.136 --> 00:14:33.870
The actors super hot shot celebrity actors and it was so good.
00:14:33.870 --> 00:14:36.655
Yeah, oh my gosh, it was the best.
00:14:36.655 --> 00:14:37.898
I loved it.
00:14:37.898 --> 00:14:46.693
It was the most hilarious religion-based TV show ever, I'm telling you.
00:14:47.315 --> 00:14:50.697
So here's a question to you TV shows.
00:14:50.697 --> 00:14:56.783
Are there any series that you've watched several times over the years?
00:14:57.224 --> 00:14:57.504
Yes.
00:14:58.424 --> 00:14:58.846
Name one.
00:14:59.166 --> 00:15:01.354
I can't Okay I have such a bad memory.
00:15:02.157 --> 00:15:06.198
Take a look, stranger Things, supernatural.
00:15:06.570 --> 00:15:08.177
So it was the Walking Dead for sure.
00:15:08.769 --> 00:15:10.174
I've watched that two or three times.
00:15:10.355 --> 00:15:10.836
The Boys.
00:15:11.599 --> 00:15:12.061
You know what?
00:15:12.061 --> 00:15:13.918
I haven't even finished the third season.
00:15:14.289 --> 00:15:17.340
I haven't either, but I was into that.
00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:18.934
Oh, Breaking Bad.
00:15:21.153 --> 00:15:22.538
But that you've re-watched.
00:15:22.538 --> 00:15:24.275
For me it was Supernatural.
00:15:24.791 --> 00:15:29.241
The one I re-watched, at least on this list, was Avatar the Last Airbender.
00:15:29.241 --> 00:15:31.974
Okay yeah, I loved that one.
00:15:32.094 --> 00:15:33.177
Yeah, that was a good one.
00:15:33.177 --> 00:15:36.275
Yeah, For me it was supernatural.
00:15:36.275 --> 00:15:37.878
Oh, were we watching Buffy?
00:15:38.662 --> 00:15:39.063
No way.
00:15:39.250 --> 00:15:43.294
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Angel in sequence, like we're going back and forth.
00:15:43.294 --> 00:15:43.937
Oh, wow.
00:15:43.937 --> 00:15:48.374
Yeah, because we wanted Riley to experience it.
00:15:48.374 --> 00:15:49.034
That's awesome.
00:15:49.034 --> 00:15:51.878
And Grayson's got into it now, so it's pretty good.
00:15:51.878 --> 00:15:54.100
Yeah, so love those ones.
00:15:54.100 --> 00:15:57.163
Clearly I have a niche.
00:15:57.163 --> 00:16:06.158
It's like dark creepy it's great, whatever.
00:16:06.158 --> 00:16:11.356
What about movies?
00:16:11.356 --> 00:16:13.721
Any movies that stick out to you Star.
00:16:13.741 --> 00:16:14.022
Wars.
00:16:14.022 --> 00:16:22.649
Okay, so what do you think about the fandom for Star Wars?
00:16:22.649 --> 00:16:24.493
Well, I mean, they're hardcore.
00:16:24.513 --> 00:16:27.038
What's one of the things that they like?
00:16:27.038 --> 00:16:27.721
What's their shtick?
00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:35.874
Well, just, you know definitely um the cosplay and stuff.
00:16:35.874 --> 00:16:44.741
Okay, like when they go to these events, like some of them are like decked out, like they look like a real stormtrooper really you know, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah like real stormtrooper.
00:16:44.741 --> 00:16:45.730
Like they're they.
00:16:45.730 --> 00:16:46.553
They go all out.
00:16:46.553 --> 00:16:49.042
Some, like you know, they have darth vader.
00:16:49.042 --> 00:16:51.568
Like the, the voice even sounds like darth vader.
00:16:51.568 --> 00:16:54.495
They have like the, the lightsaber looks real.
00:16:54.495 --> 00:16:58.260
Oh yeah, they go so do they.
00:16:58.481 --> 00:17:06.550
So they, they must be like really super in depth with every single movie, like maybe inconsistencies they'll point out stuff like that.
00:17:06.570 --> 00:17:13.181
I'm sure they huddle at these events and they have group talks and they're, you know, arguing about.
00:17:13.181 --> 00:17:16.285
You know what chip is in the lightsaber?
00:17:16.285 --> 00:17:16.685
Yeah.
00:17:16.685 --> 00:17:19.038
Yeah, for sure.
00:17:19.117 --> 00:17:19.559
Shit.
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:21.594
For us in our house.
00:17:21.594 --> 00:17:23.178
It's Marvel.
00:17:23.178 --> 00:17:24.181
Marvel's a big one.
00:17:24.181 --> 00:17:28.175
The comic books James is huge on that.
00:17:28.175 --> 00:17:30.156
I'm just along for the ride.
00:17:30.156 --> 00:17:32.057
I enjoy a lot of them.
00:17:32.057 --> 00:17:49.012
But to ask me what the comics did and the differences in costumes and stuff like that, I'm like right over there, but James is into that and obviously by default, riley is into that and Grayson is getting into it, so that's a big thing for us.
00:17:49.034 --> 00:17:51.406
Marvel cool I'm really into Daredevil, is into that and Grayson is getting into it, so that's a big thing for us.
00:17:51.406 --> 00:17:51.808
Marvel, cool.
00:17:51.808 --> 00:17:53.536
Yeah, I'm really into Daredevil.
00:17:53.536 --> 00:17:55.015
Have you started, have you?
00:17:55.349 --> 00:17:56.516
I didn't watch Daredevil.
00:17:56.516 --> 00:18:11.017
I always loved the Supermans and I'd say that I was definitely a huge fan of oh my gosh, a huge fan.
00:18:11.017 --> 00:18:16.259
I can't even remember their names guardians of the galaxy.
00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:21.269
Yeah, thank you love those guys, I love those guys guardians of the galaxy.
00:18:21.410 --> 00:18:24.973
Yeah, those are fun, those are good ones, yeah, um, okay.
00:18:24.973 --> 00:18:29.317
So music we've kind of touched on that a little bit with the Swifties.
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:38.267
Me, I'm very deep into, like the indie rap.
00:18:38.606 --> 00:18:39.968
Okay, indie rap.
00:18:39.968 --> 00:18:42.776
Yeah, oh, geez, I was going to say indie music or indie folk.
00:18:43.176 --> 00:18:50.982
No, okay, like indie rap Like just like the underground hip hop kind of.
