The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - PTFO - Why Listening to Action Bronson Makes Us Happy

Episode Date: November 14, 2023

Action Bronson raps, cooks, paints, hosts, and acts (for Martin Scorsese, at least). He also has philosophical explanations for why A) he never wears pants, B) his go-to move is the headbutt, and C) n...othing is better than a VHS tape. But Action Bronson had still never heard of the Accidental Bronson tribute account. Until now. Plus: AOL screennames, robot vacuum murder, and saggy balls.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Pablo Tore finds out I am Pablo Tore and today we're going to find out what this sound is. Doing lines off an Nintendo switch in the back of a Hyundai Sonata. Yeah, I mean, I feel like they're tapping into things like that I would want to say. Right after the sad. Shrath King's Network. I'm great. I'm great now that you're here, man. Are you sufficiently stoned enough? Oh, yeah, I need an espresso, but can we lower this? Because I don't f*** with this height of the chair. It's like a 3-quarter chair. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:00:58 You approve, though, this rest was all right. It's really good. The taste of vanilla. That's what I chose for you. You chose the vanilla one? I did. I usually wouldn't go for it, but man, wow. Hahaha. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:12 A wow from you means a lot to me. Not that I should take credit for whatever in the Fresco pod. Did you see that? That's your, that's your usual go to. Well, no, I feel like you, you depotted it and then just laid all the, the bean in there for me. That's exactly what I did. Thank you for noticing.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Wow. There are some things in the city of New York that feel extraordinarily New York. And as a New York show, Pobletoora finds out that feels the need to occasionally remind people that yes, be a physical studio in Manhattan where we tape our show. I marvel at a person like Action Bronson who is oozing New York out of every poor and who is a rapper and an artist and chef and a 30-something, I believe 39-year-old native New Yorker and a host of a host of that's delicious, a wildly popular show about food. He's a Renaissance man in a way that is entirely sincere.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And so when I saw him on the sidewalk on one of my many almost entirely random walks through the city, I realized that I had many, many questions that I needed to ask him. What I wasn't sure was whether his particular straight of consciousness would indulge the many questions that I had for him. I knew this was gonna be different.
Starting point is 00:02:59 And so I just needed to tell him how I felt. I am so glad that you're sitting here. Oh, shit, thank you. For real, I was trying to figure out how do we explain to someone who hasn't listened to your music, Action Ronson before. And we had a couple of like, well, first off, what do you,
Starting point is 00:03:25 when you imagine a listener and appreciate of your music doing, when they're listening to you, what do you imagine? I don't really f***ing give a f*** to be honest, which you're like, I'm just doing it for myself. I'm not even thinking about like, anything else, but new things.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I'm just in that, like, I've just come back from a new path. I'm riding a new path. I feel great. It's hard to describe anything. I don't, it's like, if I wanted to describe it, I would have talked to you about it. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's like when you paint, I didn't wanna be can talk to you. I painted you something and that's that.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Right now we're in the process of making new music, new breakthroughs. So then I'll be excited, having a brand new band and doing things like that, like the tiny desk and like that, you know, like... That's the **** though that I've been listening to all week. That. It's one of the ****'s crazy, man.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Oh my God. Sorry for the question. It's like one of those platforms when you're respected in music, they bring you on then. I don't know, people seem to really enjoy it. Ten-time champs about to be a leaven. Just understand that I would die for this leather belt, man. Live for the moon.
Starting point is 00:05:00 I just want to say this very clearly, if you have not listened or learned much about Action Bronson before this interview somehow. This tiny desk concert at NPR in DC, yo, Nadir behind the glass when I'm like guys, we were trying to figure out how do we describe this music and he was like, this music makes me want to ride a horse. Hmm, yes. My third eye, been popping for 8,000 years.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I don't got no cheese. I don't got no fish. I don't get caught up in the bright lights, yeah. It brings out all the emotions of carnal desires. Yes. Riding horses on beaches naked. Just things of that nature like fire. Just watching fire burn. Watching the ocean roar. Boy stay cozy, laying in the bed that's full of roses, Sydney Rosie, chilling with some cobbies on.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Go rolly on the phony arm, travel the stars like Obi-Wan. A f*** star wars, man. Because Indiana Jones is better f***ing ass-s**t. Free flow and the ass-s**t jazz f***ing, I'm a jazz instrument. Just like a goddamn saxophone or the Rhodes, I am, you know? So it's definitely reinvigorated me in that matter, but I have to put myself in a hole to dig myself out right now. That's the zone. So the zone sounds a little miserable if you're using a hole to describe it. No, not really. It's all, it's all, these are all like dramatic, I'm being dramatic. So dramatization. I like how you said earlier, I'm not good at describing things. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:06:57 you, I think, are one of the best describers of things. No, it's not because it's not, I'm not trying, I'm not describing it exact. It's a rendition of my exact brain. This is like, it's like the picture behind you. Yes, it's happening. I want to say people have questions like, how do I book this show? I literally ran into you on the street one day.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Do you remember this? I don't even know if you remember this on the street like in Soho, I ran into you. I think we were both varying levels of stone incidentally. Yeah, listen, I love the round the horn. That's how you book this. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. But then I saw you then, I see you now,
Starting point is 00:07:37 and it's kind of a fall day in New York. And I guess I should ask like, when was the last time you wore pants? I don't probably 15 to 20 years. The last time I put pants on, I had an accident. And I never wore them again. What happened? Just wasn't good.
Starting point is 00:07:58 It just wasn't good. It can't be discussed. It can't be discussed. But what I will say that they would never to be touched on my skin again. Every time I've ever seen you, you're wearing shorts. And they're stretchy so I could squat so I could work out. I'm not f***ing around with stiff shorts, you understand?
Starting point is 00:08:20 I'm over here flexible. When did you learn that you needed to have stretchy shorts? I was a husky child. Everyone needs stretchy shorts. I don't think that anyone should wear a constricting situation. Anything constricting is like, I get like sometimes you get that heat flash that comes over you and just want to rip everything off. It's a f***ing turtle. I get that sometimes you get that heat flash that comes over you and just want to rip everything off It's a f***ing shirt off. I get that a lot. So For me to be able to use the actual agility that I was given by nature and science with
Starting point is 00:08:59 you know my body construction It's only right that I put on a material that reflects and echoes all of the property. You know? I feel like when you were a kid though, what was that like? What's a young action brownson like? Yeah, I mean, I don't know like a wild man, every to feel like, I don't know, like a wild man, every kid's crazy, I feel in some aspect,
Starting point is 00:09:28 you're not even fully conscious, you know? He's kind of like drunk. You're kind of like on ass, you don't know what the f*** is really going on. You're so like little bambiish, you know? So you're just running a muck doing whatever thinking that there's no consequence on earth. And then I don't know, one day it just all hits you. You're old and gray, your balls sag, you know, your ass leaks. Not talking about me, but I'm general. These things happen.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I feel like as I get older, I get more sophisticated looking like Sean Connery. The gravitas is all over your beard now. It's happening. It's happening. When you're a kid and someone picks a fight with you. What's the move? Headbutt. Hmm. I'm a headwater.
Starting point is 00:10:29 When you discover that that was your move. That's like a, that's like a zangief move. It's like this. You ever watched a movie Gladiator? Of course. But with Brian Denney, that one. No. Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Starting point is 00:10:45 It was an early underground fighting movie boxing, and he used to say this was the hardest part of the head. Oh, no! And a top of the head, kid. The hardest part of the body. He hurts, don't he? What are you gonna do now? What are you gonna do now?
Starting point is 00:11:01 Here he comes. Here he comes. You never f***ing seen Gladiator Brian Denny. He hit me right now. I have this on VHS. Cuba Gooding Jr. Do you know that actor? Of course. You might have heard of him.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I wish someone had shown me the VHS tape of Gladiator starring Cooper Jr. Yeah. It was starring Brian Denny. Sorry. Cooper Good and Jr. had the supporting role. But I had a grandfather, a very good man who loved his VHS and that's what he collected and have about 3,000 in my house. Holy s**t. Yeah, that he left me. All kinds of crazy s**t. I've seen it all. I've seen them all.
Starting point is 00:11:50 What's better about a VHS? This grain, everything is better about tape. There's some graininess. You have to be a connoisseur to understand it. It's like the in between space. The imperfection of it. It's that, but it also adds, it gives comfort and warmth in some aspects. Film is just captured differently than digital. You're on a psych whatever.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Anyone can pick the camera up and make the thing, you know? I should point out that you have acted for Martin Scorsese when you talk about film. Yes, I'm accredited as a film actor in the guild. That's right. I mean, you were in the Irishman. It's pretty f**king bizarre. Can you explain what meeting Martin Scorsese and being directed by Martin Scorsese was like? Most of the time people arrest stoked as you are to meet them as they are to meet you. So when he was a fan of yours. I don't know if that's the case, but he
Starting point is 00:12:51 definitely showed enthusiasm and showed a lot of love and was nothing but happiness and laughter. And you know, we had a good time. It was only, we only did about three takes, and now was it? What was the role you played for people who are unfamiliar? I, just some f***ing weird, like casket salesman in about the third hour, 10 minutes more. It was a pivotal point. They're like the Cadillac of caskets.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Now, if we're putting you in the f***ing oven, it really doesn't matter what you're going. The cheapest f*** possible, particle board, that's it. What are we doing today? Are we doing a cremation? I remember distinctly waking up on my couch to the third hour there about Mark
Starting point is 00:13:41 and thinking to myself, am I hallucinating Action Bronson into this film. With that beard who is bizarre he asked me to take the beard off but I you know at that point I was like man this is like I have like six chins under here so I'm probably not. I'm imagining I'm imagining your home and I'm imagining the 3000 VHS tapes I'm imagining your incredibly worn down rewinder. You already know there was a rewinder. That has to work. There's no, you can't push a machine
Starting point is 00:14:12 through that type of wear and tear. You need a separate rewinder. And it was a Corvette. Oh, sh**. You know, I had the Corvette rewinder. And so if I were to put your brain inside of your core vet Rwinder, what is the memory that comes up that is not actually on tape anywhere? But you think of as, oh, this is a core memory that I action Bronson have. Shhh. So I have many or so many.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I couldn't tell you those, those are for me. I can't tell you. The pants one's in there, isn't there? one's in there isn't there. Yeah. No, the pants, there's no, there's no secret of the pants. I don't wear them. I just don't think that they're nice. Fashion wise, I don't like to cover my leg. I work hard to get a calf that I really had to lay. I want to take away from that calf. I work hard to get a calf that I really so to diamond shape. I want to take away from that calf. I'm a shun. I like a sock. I like to show the shoe. I like a
Starting point is 00:15:14 full like my shit is like my quadricep is literally out fully flexed. Yes. yes, quads out. It's a quads season. I'm just trying to recover from a saccharilliac injury. It's under your ass area, like you're not growing from the back. This is a very specific area. It's like these muscles that keep them
Starting point is 00:15:40 a hamstring nice. So that's not like the grondle? It's near it. Grondle adjacent. It's not like the grondle. It's near it. Grondle adjacent. It's parallel to the grondle. It's running parallel. Yep, yep, yep. It's in a grid.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yep. Almost asymptotic to the grondle. Sort of like always approaching, but never touching it. Nah, it runs congruent. Mm. Yeah. I should point out that your calf philosophy shames me because I consider the Filipino people on Filipino to have excellent calves.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I consider my calves excellent. I have artwork about the Filipino calf. Wow. This is like a, this is not the first time I pointed this out to a guest, but on the left is like a standard like a white guy, you know, this very vertical calf on the right is the Filipino calf in my view. And I've been told I should wear more shorts. You do, you have to show that you have to show that you have to condition your shin also. The shin. The shin bone muscle is very important as well. You have to do the front flex, not only the calf.
Starting point is 00:16:44 You can't just do front, you have to do the front flex, not only the calf. You can't just do front. You got to do back also. So what is it? How do you how do you how do you work out your shin? You flex your toe upwards. Mm. You feel that muscle? I do. Now put it back down. No, no, you don't have to go all the way up. No, no, no, no, put your leg down. You're right there at it. Flex your foot. now really flex it up tight. Oh yeah, there it is. Do you know that muscle? There it is.
Starting point is 00:17:09 That one. What is your workout routine like now? I just fucking go hard for an hour and a half and you know, I do things that I like doing and then I do things that I hate doing. Give me the thing you love the most, give me the thing you hate the most. I don't really like bench pressing.
Starting point is 00:17:31 It's not really like, I don't f***ing love that f***ing. I love to squat. I love to f***ing do like, zerture squats with the weight in front of you. I like picking up stones and sandbags and sh** like that. I don't like running. I don't like doing running for a long distance. You like the world's strongest man, sh**.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I do, but then I also like like skinny boys, I wanna be sh** in shape as well. I like the MMA type of cardio training. I like fighting training. I like that type of cardio training. I like fighting training. I like that type of s***. I like to be pushed to the physical limits. There's a tattoo you have that I believe is, um, nothing means anything.
Starting point is 00:18:16 So the one that you have doesn't mean a f***ing thing. Barry bonds his season. It doesn't really mean a thing. Well, I was a stupid kid. This is going back to being a nittyy. Why did I do that? He had other seasons where he was juiced up, but that was his most juiced up season. I can't wait to get on G H. Honestly. Barry bonds as soon as I turn 40, I'm taking G H. Barry bonds is 73 home run season. You have that stat line tattooed on your body. And the growth there wasn't his most impressive average season. You know that.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Well, it's like 380, right? 375? Barry bonds hit 370 the year after that. Exactly. That was more impressive. That's all lost all the time. Less home runs by 370 the year after that. Exactly. That was more impressive. Less home runs. Less home runs by 370. Yes. Yes. Got walked all the time was the most feared player in baseball. And by the way,
Starting point is 00:19:14 That's how I step to the plate. You put that thing on the elbow guard. When you have that on and you have a dangling hearing, who were you to be fucked with? Just about the headbutt of baseball. His head was like his jaw.
Starting point is 00:19:25 He had GH face. So the GH face, the growth hormone. Yeah. Have you taken steroids before? Yeah. 24 years old. I was juiced up. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I was taking project juice. My boy was like, you know, from my my my boy from the neighborhood was getting some juice. And we was shooting it up. Shooting up juice. Into what part of shooting it up, shooting up juice. Into what part of your body were you shooting up projects? Leg, ass cheek, rear delt, seriously. Bad shit, but who knew where this juice was coming from?
Starting point is 00:19:58 Could have been Canola oil. Could have been whatever, Miss Zola. I could have been fucking, Miss Zola. I could have been f***ing giving myself goddamn project surgery, you know, like BBLs. Yep, yep, yep, yep. And what would you go do though with all of the- I would go f***ing do ballet. An ice skate. Who would be like, go f***ing lift weights, bro.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Meat head, f*** it. Eat turkey. Raw turkey. Rolled in meat. Rolled in raw chicken meat. And then rolled in the roll roll roll roll. Oh, wow. Iso pure EAS Bill Romanowski. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You understand? That's the time I was taking creatine at 13 years old. I imagine you now. I imagine young action-bronson eating a raw fucking turduckin' like John Madden. Straight up to it. I mean, turduckin' is ridiculous, but I like it. It does seem a little like unholy. Well, when it's done right, it's delicious.
Starting point is 00:21:05 The idea of just like, oh, that's, I think it's craziness. That's more for like, seems like you started for a party. That's right. Someone wants it to have a party. So like, f***, let's do something festive. I want to explain to people, I think of you as like the ambassador of Queens. So I'm from New York. I grew up on 30th and 1st in Manhattan. Brands lived in Queens, all of that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Spent way too much time in like the floral park area growing up. The hell are you doing a floral park? My friend, Pietro de Zario lived in a floral park, Flopo. Okay. Um, also woodside, Filipino food. Oh yeah. How do you explain Queens to people who have not been there? It's a, it's a mixture of every single life on Earth in one place.
Starting point is 00:22:05 So it's kind of like, it's a holy land. It is the most diverse place maybe on Earth. It is, it is, it's a holy land. I've been a lot of, I couldn't see anywhere else being this diverse. This is that's stacked up other places, but it's not with all these different cultures. It's truly unbelievable. Yes. It's truly unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yes. It's truly an unbelievable place. Yes. It's somewhere you never, ever, ever have to leave and you've already been everywhere. So, I feel like a lot of people, the export from Queens that they think they're getting is like Kevin James, King of Queens.
Starting point is 00:22:45 When I think of Queens, I think of coming to America. Yes. That's the first thing I think of. And I think that that's a tremendous depiction of Queens. That one has, you're right. That shows Queens in one of the most incredible lights ever. You gotta go to Queens, that's where you're gonna f***ing meet one of the most incredible. You've been in a bad state. Royalty. Literally royalty. She got his face on the money, man. You know? He's rich.
Starting point is 00:23:13 He is rich. What? He got his own money. And baby, when I tell you he's got his own money, I mean the boy has got his own money. You did it this time. the jackpot that type of shit We got a well hell yeah, what was your screen name a swayed 56 hmm How did you get settled on that? How did I get settled it didn't take much?
Starting point is 00:23:42 I just thought of some shit and that became that. My Jersey number was 56 in high school, like a meathead. And that was it. So a suede 56. Yep. At a well dot com. At a well dot com. One net zero. Oh, yeah. The CD. Yep. Yep. I was on earth link damn those are two Off-brand ones absolutely. I had this kid in my neighborhood. It was a computer was You built the computer And he got me all set up on the on the compact presario. Oh, yeah, man. And then I got the Dell I didn't have the good
Starting point is 00:24:27 When we had a word processor, I thought we had a computer. I would try to enter launch codes, but it never worked. What sport did you play, number 56? Football. Position. Bassline High School Center and Nose Guard. Prestige. Give me this counting report on you as a player. This is a decept the quick hard hard hitting.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Long lasting IQ on and unbelievable. My awareness is a hundred hundred on madden. So I'm like the field general. I'm the quarterback of the line. I know what the I know more than the quarterback does. I question his throws. I question his decision making.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Why'd you do that? What was the reaction when when you are questioning what's happening on this team? I'm not that type of guy. I would in my mind, I would, what the f*** was that, you know? I could like throw them under a bus onto the next play. Your athletic hero was who? My true athletic hero, I don't really know. Who did I look to? It wow Mike Tyson? Yeah, yeah He captivated me as probably many others Did you ever meet Mike? Yeah, he kissed me on the hands
Starting point is 00:26:01 I'm sorry. How does that work? It's like we kissed each other on hands with respect. Just happened. Just happened. I feel like Mike Tyson kissing you on the hand is kind of like, I don't know. It was crazy. That's why I'm a Ross kissing you on the vocal cord. That's pretty f***ing heavy duty, but yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I'd say so. You like Diana Rose? I was trying to think of spontaneously, who is the person who I'd most value vocal cords up? You would want her to kiss you on the vocal cord? Yeah, who's the equivalent of Mike Tyson? That's the SAT problem. Mike Tyson is to hands as blank as to vocal cords.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Mmm, let's see. I don't know what the f***ing dianna roast them, I guess. Celine Dion. Meh. Not really into it. I mean, Stevie Wonder. Now that's a vocal chord. Absolutely.

Starting point is 00:27:25 very Magnuson for people who don't know the world's strongest man mythology? Yeah, Magnus, very Magnuson is one of the, like, one of the top strong men of the world. I think he won three. He's just one of them in this world Madious Pooja Nowski. Yes. You co-holo won it twice Magnus won it four times. Magnus won it four times. 91 94 95 96 Excuse me, but right now I'm in bulk season. I'm back in bulk season But not too much bulk just enough that when I come down I'm back in bulk season, not too much bulk,
Starting point is 00:28:07 just enough that when I come down, I'm shredded and it's really showing. What is bulking up for you look like? This is it, 275 right now, that's it. Can't allow myself to get over that. Bringing myself down to 230, I'm going to look f***ing Jean-Claude Van Dam. It's doing a split between two trucks. Volvos.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Volvos. Remember how commercial. Of course. This doesn't look like I'm f***ing jacked up in this f***ing picture. You're saying like it's booked? I'm a little bit better now. Leaning forward, I don't look jacked.
Starting point is 00:28:45 That's the issue. I mean, you're wearing a sweater. I'm wearing a de Kimbae Mutumbo jersey under this row. Are you really? Sure I'm. Nuggets? Who else? I mean, yeah, the Hawks talk.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Yeah, it is. It's one of the greatest jerseys of all time. He's Mutumbo Nuggets jersey. And the Mutumbo Hawks jersey. Both great. I once talked to De Kimbae Mutumbo about his life jersey. And the Mutumbo Hawks jersey. Both great. I once talked to Kevin Mutumbo about his life and he told me that his house, he had to have special toilets installed
Starting point is 00:29:10 because of course he's like seven, two or whatever it is. Yeah. The importance of a good toilet I was speaking to my colleague yesterday. Mm. You don't really know life until you sit on a warm toilet seat. For real.
Starting point is 00:29:26 You literally sh** immediately. And it's like, it's not just a regular sh**. Everything comes out. You know what I mean? Can I bond with you, hopefully, about? But you know the toilet, you sit down and start spraying something real quick. When you get up, I get up. So it doesn't hit me.
Starting point is 00:29:46 So you don't like the bidet? I duck it. I don't let it touch me. Oh, come on. What are you doing? This is the mist prior. Oh, oh. This is the pre-miss.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Okay. Because I guess they f***ing moisten the area. But this is the pre-miss. I don't let that touch me. But under your control, you like a bidet? No. Oh, come on. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:30:05 What are you doing? I come from a grandma with no paper, just a hand. Just a hand. Can I look for the bad guy? I can't say. A grandmother doing this, not me. Is almost like flipping an imaginary pizza with his right hand. Just like flipping an imaginary pizza with his right hand. My most disliked version of a toilet is the toilet with the padded seat.
Starting point is 00:30:35 That's old school. I hate it. I mean, that's fucking weird when you deflate as soon as you sit on it. Yes. It's weird. It's like someone asking you to sh** into a pillow. Pull over our sh** out the window. If I need to go, it. Yes. It's weird. It's like someone asking you to sh** into a pillow. Pull over. I sh** out the window. If I need to go, it's happening. But you'll like a warm seat, but that's about it. Warm seat is definitely a game changer. Cold, cold floor warm seat. Yes. Duel. So you get the dual heat. Yep. Cool
Starting point is 00:31:01 feet. Shins extended. Oh my God. I mean, I don't know who wears clothes to sh- But I don't. You go full on, um- No matter where if I'm in K-Mart, Caldor, wherever. Caldor. Yeah. Yo, Caldor, man, I don't know if kids respect Caldor the way they need to.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I used to take Caldor and a f- to the cleaners. What are you doing inside of a Caldo? Steal anything that's, you know, all the paint. Take all the home products, the rollers. Handheld dust busters. The f***ing red. When that red devil came out, the dirt devil.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I've had a dust buster in my house. F*** out. I can't even remember when I didn't. Right now, we don't even have a regular vacuum. We have a fucking handheld dustbuster. There's no need. Either the shark or the dustbuster. So like the world of Roomba's does not appeal to you.
Starting point is 00:32:00 The robots. It actually makes me crazy when they put the thing on it, I fucking trip over it creeps up on you. It actually makes me crazy when they put the thing on it, I fucking trip over it, creeps up on you. It does. You'll be cooking up into some bulls***. I heard a story once about someone falling asleep on their floor. The room buck comes out.
Starting point is 00:32:16 They have long hair. Now they're being murdered by their vacuum. I mean, listen, all that shit, we saw Terminator 2. This is what they were talking about. You understand? The machines, SkyNet,
Starting point is 00:32:34 this is what they were speaking of. Arnold told you already this was happening and this is why when they bring the food with the robot, it freaks me the f*** out. Yep. Yep. I don't want to see that f***. F***ing drop underwear from f***ing wears a front.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Right drones, like Amazon drones. Yeah, Amazon underwear. You drop the underwear with the plane. Why are you... I like to imagine you like trying to like f***ing throw a discus at those drones. Discus was one of the best sweatshirts brand that ever lived. One of the best athletic brands that I don't know what happened to discus but man, Queens.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Yeah, I've had a f***ing discus hoodie or discuscus whatever this one is called You were the one I want to ask you about 12 pack of sun wear shirts and a trunk Talha You know about these you know about Talha shirts.

Starting point is 00:33:56 Laughing, Taffy. I mean, but this is the NBA, my favorite era of the NBA. Throwbacks. I mean, I don't think I've ever taken a throwback all since they came out. There's no need. Have you heard of this Twitter account called accidental broncin? No. I...I don't know if you're gonna love this or hate this. Well, would you be okay with me explaining this to you? Sure.
Starting point is 00:34:37 So I was sitting at a New York Liberty game in the second row, right behind Courtside, and in front of me was Carmelo Anthony. And I was eating a pockie. You familiar with pockie? Of course, which flavor? Macha. Nice. Yeah, good choice. Exactly, a rare, a rare version of it.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Did he come from Japan? Yes. Of course, I'm not f***ing around, man. Rare snacks, man. Rare snacks. Okay. So I'm eating this, this matcha green pockie, behind Carmelo Anthony,
Starting point is 00:35:07 and I tweeted out, and I just captioned it, quietly eating pockie behind Carmelo Anthony. And a Twitter account, which I did not know about till then, titled accidental Bronson retweets it, and I'm like, what the f*** is this? Oh, it sounds like something I would say.
Starting point is 00:35:25 And it's just all of the things that people are tweeting inadvertently. And I'm like, that is exactly a thing that a fucking actor Brownson would say. It's true. I mean, to think about it like this, real life is much crazier than anything that you've scripted.
Starting point is 00:35:45 You know, all the bulls that you could conjure up in your mind really isn't that cool. If you just assess the situation around you real quick, they're okay. This is what's happening. So you immediately intuitively understood the premise of accidental broncin. I get it.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Can I show you some other ones that people have? Sure. I feel like, I mean, I just hear it. Let's hear it. I feel like you gotta say them though. No, no, no, you have to say it. All right, let me say it. Okay.

Starting point is 00:41:04 I like the idea of this though. Using animals in illiteration. Yes. Is that the right term where they're speaking as human? Oh, that's anthropomorphizing. Anthropomorphicizing. What is illiteration? That's when the words in a row have the same first letter.
Starting point is 00:41:22 That was totally off. I had the letter A right. I was e-literation or a-literation. A-literation. What is e-literation? I don't think that's a thing. God, I bet you it is. Someone Google that.

Starting point is 00:41:47 Can I kiss your hand? No, you're not, but you're gonna hug me. You're gonna hug me hard when gaming with me. So what I found out today is why listening to Action Bronson makes me happy. And it's one of the first things I told him, right? Your music makes me feel good. And the reason why it turns out is because he embodies this contradiction between this abiding, deep seriousness and also the exact opposite. Often at the same time, Akinbronson loves a high-stakes scenario, decorated with low-brow details.
Starting point is 00:42:50 He makes music for Don Corleone. If Don Corleone also loves the NBA. He is somebody who makes music to listen to while walking around New York City, because New York City is the greatest city in the world. That also, at times, is aggressively the opposite, which is why it is worth celebrating. And so, here Pablo Torre finds out a New York show that is just introduced action-bronson to accidental-bronson, reflecting our capacity individually to spontaneously embody this very contradiction no matter where you are on this planet. We wanted to send you into your weekend, into your wanderings around wherever you are, with does something to listen to.

In the backseat of the Uber, Ashy, a sesory vehicle like a cigarette in front of a Roomba. Yes.
