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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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**.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
That's a vocal chord kisser right there.
Hahaha.
You made a music video though,
in which you, this is like pre-deep fake.
You edited your face onto the body of Magnus.
Come here.
Magnuson.
Yeah. Can you explain Magnus,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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,
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.
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.
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. No
It's from the white tea days

**** who I think they like me, Dan.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
Let me say it.
Let me say it.
You can do that.

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.
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,
