JordanHey everybody, welcome back to Out the Trunk with Jordan and Darius. I'm Jordan, that's Jordan B. Riding on all socials.
DariusAnd I'm Darius, that's Deez I love me Ary on all socials.
JordanAnd this is our movie review episode. Today we're going to be reviewing Spike Lee's classic, Do the Right Thing.
DariusAll right, act one, the block wakes up. The neighborhood wakes into a heat wave as Mookie starts deliveries. Sal opens a pizzeria and familiar block personalities establish the film's humor, rhythm and early cultural tensions. I must admit, this is my first time watching this movie. So it came out when I was one years old. And so I'm going to use that as my excuse for having not watched it.
JordanSo yeah, it came out right before I was born. I actually never seen it cover to cover before either. So I mean, I'd seen bit to pieces. I obviously had no climactic scene and all that, but I'd never seen it front to back like that.
DariusAlso wanted to add that life without air conditioning seems, well, was so trash. I went through it for a while.
Jordan******* miserable.
DariusIt's ******* awful. People are like, why is there's been a population boom in the Sun Belt and people like returning to the South and it's like, because it's habitable now. You have air conditioning. Yeah.
JordanYou don't die. Don't dehydration.
DariusBirmingham, Alabama and Jackson, Mississippi look like appealing cities when it's not sweltering hot inside your home. So, you know. Correct. Not so bad. But what you got for act one?
JordanSo act one, first I wanted to shout out Ruth Carter. She did the costume design for this movie. She's a legend. She did Black Panther, Black Panther, Wakanda Forever. She did Malcolm X with Spike Lee as well. If it's a classic black movie, there's a good chance she did the costume design, basically. She actually had an exhibit of her wardrobes from all her movies at the museum over there by state a couple of years ago. It was really, really good. So I wanted to shout her out. Not enough black women in film and television, so I wanted to give her flowers. Also, I want to say, man, Spike Lee was really young when he made this movie. You kind of forget that because he's such a legend now, you just forget just this is a really early in his filmography to have a classic like this that he wrote, directed and produced himself.
DariusI mean, legends are legends for a region. He's literally a film prodigy, you know?
JordanRight.
DariusThese are my top five filmmakers, you know, after the big three, you know, Nolan Tarantino, Scorsese, you really I mean, Spike Lee, I mean, he's four, I guess. So.
JordanYeah.
DariusAbsolute legend. So there's it's interesting to watch this movie through 2026 eyes. It's sort of like how my own little evolution about these things because I'm watching Juan Carlo Esposito. I butchered his name, I'm sure. Character Giancarlo Giancarlo, his character. And I'm just like, Why are you complaining about not having a picture in that restaurant, man?
JordanRight. What did you?
DariusWhat? Also, just like, how many black restaurants did you walk past to complain about this white restaurant? I just, it just, you know, if it's going to feel like a stress, it just reminds me when people complain about Grammys and then skip the BET awards. It's like, how many black restaurants they walk past on their way to this pizza shop and then they get there and be like, why ain't no black people in here?
JordanRight.
DariusI just don't understand. Like, why do you need it that? Why do you want them to validate you so bad? You know, that black, those black restaurants would love your business. You know, BET Awards would love for Jay-Z and beyoncé to show up and treat their awards the same way that they treat the Grammys. Right. It's just like, go where the love is at. Why are you begging these people for approval? I don't get it. You know.
JordanYeah, I'm with you on that. Also, it's just like one, obviously the movie's about racism and racism. We'll talk about that later as it gets deeper into the plot. But it's like you're in this establishment, you screaming and hooting and hollering. You know, he like he did have every right to throw you out. You know, he said, hey, don't come back for like what? I think he said give him a week, whatever, you know, which is Pretty reasonable considering how he was acting and it's not a bar and he wasn't drunk. You know what I'm saying? Like you just in there screaming and ****. It's early in the morning. People just trying to eat pizza.
DariusAlso just like, it is his restaurant. You can put whatever **** it is. You are local to go somewhere else. You are not obligated to eat here.
JordanRight. Like we're going to, I have several points I'm going to make about racism and especially Italian racism in this country. But The old Italian dude, the middle-aged Italian man in 1989 is not gonna have Muhammad Ali on his ******* wall. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he had everyone I would expect him to have on his wall, given his age.
DariusYeah, it's just, I don't, I just don't understand. The pizza couldn't be that good, you know? I'm not. Well, there's that too. It's just like when people, and I'm not gonna lie, I used to do this, but jumping through all the hoops to get into a club.
JordanCorrect.
DariusI'm not begging you to take my money.
JordanThat you know they don't want you in.
DariusIt's not even that. I'm not begging you to take my money.
JordanYeah.
DariusAin't nothing in that club. Ain't nothing in that pizza that I haven't seen before or eat before. And so the idea that I have to prove myself to you to ultimately give you my money.
JordanMy money.
DariusSo I got to beg the bouncer and do this and do that just to get in there and buy a $12 cocktail.
JordanRight.
DariusI'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. If I can't, I will wait in a reasonable line. I will show my ID. I will walk in. If it's more hassle than that, I'm not going to be able to do it.
JordanLike, yeah, No, it gets to a point where it's like, you know, everybody talks about like fantasize that Julie Roberts scene in Pretty Woman where she's like, oh, you make commission. And she like bought a bunch of ****. And I'm like, you. You just paid her bills. You didn't hurt her in any way. And also you didn't prove your point because she's still going to be judgmental and condescending and whatever the case may be.
DariusYou know, I think the exception, you know, like that's it.
JordanRight, exactly. Yeah.
DariusThe next black person that walks in there is going to get treated just as poorly.
JordanCorrect. Yeah. I really wish us to get out of this cycle of like prove our way out of racism or earn our way out of racism. You know what I mean? Like you can make a lot of money and have a good job and be in a nice neighborhood. And they may be nice to you, but they only nice to you most likely because they just like you. That it doesn't change the fact that you're black. You know what I mean?
DariusOr just, I don't think it's healthy to go through life that skeptical of everybody. But when you enter an establishment, the establishment makes it clear they don't want you there. You just leave. I'm not begging to stay. This is not. That's a classroom, a school. This is not a courtroom. This is not a voting booth. Like it's a ******* bar. It's a ******* pizza place. There's 1000, there's five within walking distance. I would just go to one.
JordanThere's pizza everywhere.
DariusI would just go to one that wants me there, you know? Correct. We talk about classrooms. We talk about courtrooms. That's a whole different conversation. Yeah, different conversation. A pizza joint. Let's go to a different one.
JordanThat ain't a civil rights issue. You were allowed in the restaurant. They gave you food. You know what I'm saying?
DariusIt's like, oh, don't go to the, don't go to that club. They do, do, do. Okay, I'm not. Why you keep going back?
JordanYeah, right, exactly. Yeah. You know, like it's certain spots on the strip on Glenwood, I'll never go into again. And I don't care to. And the music ain't even good. So what am I mad for?
DariusIf you make me feel like I'm bothering you. I'm not like you hear about restaurants in Atlanta where it's just like you got to text this promoter and do this and we don't do takeout. Remember when Keith Lee was in Atlanta in every restaurant? It was like, it's like, you're not doing me a favor letting me buy $30 chicken and waffles. No, you know, I'm not like that's the thing with like the baby's new restaurant. There's like a bouncer at the door and he'd be talking to people crazy.
JordanOh, I didn't know that.
DariusListen, man. The waffles actually do look good, but if you make me feel like I'm honored to buy your waffle.
JordanNah, and I heard actually, and I heard it wasn't good. The people I know in Charlotte said it wasn't good. Somebody said they got their **** their food in a ******* pizza box. So, you know.
DariusThe pictures look good. The waffles look good. The soul food. Looks a little hit, but like there's a no, they definitely look like dessert. They don't look like breakfast waffles, like cookies and cream waffle. I'm not, I don't really want that at 10 a.m. Correct. To me, that's just a slice of cake, which is nothing wrong with cooking and cream slice of cake.
JordanYeah.
DariusBut you know, you know, it's I bet you like I've heard the batter is very cake. Like it's much more cake than waffle, but you know, I like cake. If it's good, it's good. You know, I feel you.
JordanYeah. But and also like if you recently just like kind of are resurrecting your career after basically a self cancellation because of your rant, maybe tread lightly with the community. I don't know. That's just me.
DariusYou know, it's just I don't understand this. And I primarily like black restaurants in Atlanta. Most of it's black-owned this idea that you're trying to pitch exclusivity.
JordanYeah.
DariusAnd like, make me feel like it's not a nightclub and I don't even do exclusivity with the nightclubs. So I'm certainly not going to do it for shrimp and grits at 3:00 in the afternoon.
JordanLike, yeah, man, that's my thing. It's like we that's a problem with us that we have, I think, too, is like we talk about the **** that other ethnic groups do to us with their business commercially and stuff like that. And then we turn around and do the same **** to each other. And I'm like, well, what was the point of you getting a business if you were just if you wanted to discriminate? against your own people, essentially.
DariusI mean, as long as the rules are posted and it's clear, I just won't be there. Like there's this restaurant, Kitchen and Cocktails, that's, they have a few different restaurants across the city. They got this long list of ****. Listen, bro, you're not going to give me homework to come spend, to come eat fried chicken and collard greens.
JordanYeah, it's ******* crazy.
DariusBut people go, but I'm just not, like, If I can't show up in a shirt like this and some jeans and some J's, I'm not going. Yeah. Like, I'm not going to go nowhere looking crazy. I'm going to be presentable. But if this shirt, some jeans and some J's can't get me in, it's not the spot for me. You know? Right. Yeah.
JordanI had an experience like that in North Hills. We were trying to go to 60 Vines. We went to the Virgin in Charlotte the time for our friend's birthday. And the food was mid. So I'm like, they were giving us a hard time looking me up and down and ****. And crazy. A little group of white people walking in right before us had no had no reservation at all, whatever. It's like, all right, you just saved us 100 bucks on mid food. Thanks. And I'll never go back again.
DariusYeah, it's just especially when you're dealing with a business with a lot of competition. There's we probably have too many restaurants. There's 5 on every corner, bro. I don't need to be here. You know, I'll just go to another one. But let's get this back to the movie. What else you got for act one?
JordanYeah, it's funny. There was the old guys were talking from like the red wall and they were talking about like the Earth is getting hotter and it's going to be more water and we're dry and dry and they're like, you crazy. And it's like he was right about global warming. Spike Lee was 30 years ahead of his time on that.
DariusYeah, man, we still burning fossil fuels, so it's going to keep. Well, we've gotten a lot better about We've actually made quite a bit of progress on climate, but it's still, hot as ****. We basically, we get like 2 days of winter in Raleigh now, and I remember when we actually got like 2 weeks of it at least, so.
JordanCorrect.
DariusYou got anything else for Ag1?
JordanYeah, also I want to say, first of all, man, inflation is crazy because $1.50 for a slice of pizza, you feel like you're robbing them today. Also the fact that it was more expensive to get extra cheese than the slice of pizza itself is crazy.
DariusA dollar 50. I don't think you can get a candy bar for that anymore.
JordanYeah, it'd probably be like a dollar 80.
DariusHonestly, a slice of pizza for a buck 50. I told you, Louis, when I was at the Sixers game last week, I don't mean to date the pie, but I went to the halftime. You know, you file out. Yeah, I'm hungry. I ate since breakfast, basically. And I popped into this little spot and I saw a slice of pizza and a soda combo was like, no, it was a slice of pizza and a Coors Light. I'm not going to lie on them. Slice of pizza and a Coors Light. They wanted like 30 something dollars for it. And I turned around. It just gets to a point.
JordanThat's ridiculous. Yeah, man. I'm not, I feel you.
DariusI went, I left, found a spot in Chinatown, got some salt and pepper calamari and some shrimp dumplings. And that was like, $18 combined and that's much better than a slice of pizza of course like so.
JordanYeah that's that's that's nuts yeah I had to I've been like shopping a lot for events and stuff for work and the price of the **** that I had to pay for is crazy um I uh I had to get like 24 packs of sodas for for property man and they're like $9 now what the ****?
DariusDude I had to pull up on a function Two or three months ago, and somebody told me to grab sodas. So I walked into Harris Teeter and I just grabbed 412 packs because I figured there was 20 something people there, 2 sodas in there. Just shy of $40. I didn't look because I'm like, how much can ******* sodas be? I don't buy sodas. And yeah, it was like $38 for 412 packs.
JordanYeah, man.
DariusI didn't.
JordanYeah, I had to scoop up some desserts for a Halloween party for a property for a coworker who couldn't make the event. And I was like, how do people fit at the event? And they're like 85 to 100 people. And I'm like, ****. Okay, so I have to, I'm at, you know, grocery store and I'm like, okay, counting like, okay, this should probably feed, you know, that **** was like 80 bucks, dude.
DariusYeah.
JordanIt was cookies and cupcakes and whatever, covered in icing.
DariusJunk food. All right, what else you got frag one?
JordanYeah. So I will say one funny scene in the movie is where the white dude scuffs up Giancarlo's Jays with the bike. And then they're like ranting at him and ****. And then he's like, they're like, you need to get out of this neighborhood. You don't even belong here. And he goes, I was born in Brooklyn. Everybody's like, oh, because he had on the bird jersey.
DariusYeah.
JordanAnd if you do, it's like a betrayal to be a Celtics fan if you're from New York.
DariusYeah, the late 80s for sure. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it makes sense. I didn't catch that. But yeah, it I mean, basketball was broken down pretty strong on racial lines back then. Correct. Strike me that a white dude for Brooklyn would be a bird fan. So right. Heading into act two with the tensions rising, small confrontations intensified through clashing opinions, personal grudges, and debates over representation. Mookie moves between work, family and community as frustration spreads across the block. Circling back to the air conditioning from act one. How much of the tension is movies? Because everybody was just stupid, hot and uncomfortable.
JordanI think that's. Yeah, I think it's.
DariusYeah, there's a reason crime goes up in the summer, man. And it's just. Yeah, when you hot and sweaty and there's no escape, not thinking clearly you're there's sitting in a hot *** house.
JordanYeah.
DariusIt's one of the most irritable things you've ever done in your life, man. You really do be ready to swing on somebody.
JordanBut you can't. There's no relief.
DariusNo. There's nothing you can do. No, it's not like the winter where you can just grab an extra blanket. You just got to sweat and it never breaks. Yeah, man.
JordanYeah, I 100% believe it was due to the heat. I also think it was kind of a metaphor too for the tensions rising as well. Yeah, I think there's a it's It kind of gave me shades of like 12 angry men. I remember it was in the summertime. They're in that hot *** courtroom. The fan wasn't working. They're losing their ****. They finally get the fan working a little bit and the tie kind of starts to break in terms of their voting and ****. It reminded me a lot of that as well.
DariusYeah, I mean, I mean, It's there's a lot of studies that go into just like how much the summer changes. It's a little different now with air conditioning. But no, man, it was you ask any police station, they'll say that summer brings out the crazies. So also just like idle time, the kids aren't in school, they don't have anything to do. Right. You know, it's just idle, idle times. It was a devil's playground or some **** like that. So what you got for that too, man?
JordanYeah. So I love the scene where it's every, it's like the close up where they're like breaking the 4th wall and it's each demographic giving a racist rant against another demographic because it does show just how pervasive racism is in every community and against everybody. It's no one's immune to, you know, the disease that is hatred slash race racism. So like they kind of showed that because I feel like a lot of times in movies we We do tend to I don't know the exact term. I don't want to make seem like I'm attacking us, but like as if we don't have any prejudice as well. So I like that it kind of showed that and I like that it showed that other minorities and people of color have have have prejudice against other communities as well, because that is important. And that is a thing that I feel like nobody really talks about enough. So I'm glad they showed that.
DariusI tried to stay away I mean, I call things racist when they're racist, but to me, this is more like tribalism more than anything. And it just.
JordanFair, that's fair.
DariusEvolutionary response because, you know, when we were cavemen, outsiders could, they brought disease, they brought warfare, they could have killed you. And so we've evolved to be skeptical of people outside of our tribe. And so, no, I mean, anyone, there's no race or ethnicity of people who doesn't have some problematic skepticism of outsiders. And so, you think about yourself in a prehistoric times, that unfamiliar looking tribe across the sea could be here to murder you and probably is. If they didn't murder you, they could bring diseases that you haven't, that you have an immune system to fight back from. And so it's in that world is perfectly rational to be highly skeptical of outsiders. And we're not from an evolutionary standpoint, that far removed from that world, you know, right. Technology is advanced in much faster, but for millions and millions and millions of years, we live that way. And for the last, what, 300, we have it or 10,000 right. And so, no, you mean just that's why I'm just a bit more. I want to say understanding, but just a lot less hardline about these things than I used to be, because, you know, if everyone behaves similarly, it's almost not even a personality trait at that point. every single human tribe of people, race and ethnicity of people shares some problematic aspect, problematic skepticism of outsiders. So like how do we balance what's the right one and what's the wrong one? Obviously all of it's wrong and we have systems in place to mitigate those things, but that natural impulse it it's so but much it's only but so much people can fight back against that so.
JordanRight but and also even to your point about when you made earlier about how many black restaurants or soul food spots did Giancarlo's character walk past on the way to go to the pizza spot well the Italians don't live in that neighborhood so it's like how many Italian how many open locations did they walk past they could have possibly inhabited to so it's like in the same token the you know the What's the name? John Tutoro. He's like, you know, the big racist in the movie, right? And he's like, I hate being here. It's a disease, whatever. It's like, but you can make the case that you're the disease because you're the foreigner there. You don't belong in that community, but you're not native to that community. So and also, again, you had to leave your community because you couldn't handle the competition. So it's also that.
DariusIt's funny because I always say that people like gentrification is just rebranded xenophobia. It's just like You don't belong in this neighborhood because it's like if a white person said that you would call it for what it is. Right. Or like when people my favorite like gentrification could play someone who live in a neighborhood of like when you start seeing white women jogging during the day, you know, you know how racist and xenophobic that is. They better start putting up good building shows. Yeah, it's just like, it's just, there are legitimate claims of gentrification, but the vast majority of it is literally just fear of outsiders. It's just rebranded progressive xenophobia. Yeah. Like if you just, if any other, if an Asian said that about a black person in his neighborhood, you would hear it for what it was. Right. When you see black kids hanging out during the day, you do it.
JordanRight.
DariusPeople don't hear themselves. But what else you got?
JordanThat's true, which is also a big point of the movie, you know? I loved, well, this is actually kind of the next one, but I just, I love this, the scene, well, act one and act two, where there's the scene where basically the father, the Italian father talking to the sons about like work and their job and saying like, you know, I own this place. you think you can do better, whatever. But I, obviously provide for you, provide a life for you and our family through this place, and he was trying to judge the mayor, the drunk guy. And, he was glad to sweep up and clean up and, for a few bucks to be able to buy a couple drinks, whatever, get through the day. And I like that both of those men were perfect examples of just taking pride in what you do.
DariusYeah.
JordanAnd the way they, They carried it differently, but then they, verbalized it differently. But that was a central message in the movie as well. I think that was part of what the issues with Mookie was, because Mookie was like, he did his job, but he didn't care. He didn't really have too much pride and he didn't give a **** about coming back home and coming back to the store in time, you know, whatever. And I like the way that it showed that dichotomy between those characters.
DariusNobody had a ******* job.
JordanIt was like 4 characters that had jobs. It was Samuel L. Jackson, all the people in the pizza shop, and yeah, that's it.
DariusNo, in the 40s, between.
Jordan40 and 60 years old. I was thinking that too. I'm like, where's everybody? What are y'all doing for the day? And also, I get all your work because you're not working.
DariusNo, just hanging out. There's just the dude with the boombox. He has nowhere. Like, there's nowhere to be. He's just middle of the day. You don't adults don't get summer break. Where are you?
JordanI don't know. Yeah, exactly. And also, I have a question about Radio Raheem. I couldn't tell. Was he supposed to be like, the neighborhood Debo like tough guy or was he just like on the spectrum? I couldn't figure it out.
DariusI just think he was like the loser guy who just kind of, you know, he just, he's that, you know, he's just, he's just, he just, he's just a list. Everyone has like that, family member that's just kind of listless and just kind of hangs out and just doesn't really have any business ever. Like, don't you have somewhere to be? No, not really.
JordanNo, not really.
DariusNot really anything to do. Do you have anything for that? You want to add an actor.
JordanOh, yeah. You know what? So they always say, like, racism is a learned behavior, and we assume that it's taught at home. But at least for act two, it appears that the the racist son just kind of got that on his own, or maybe probably from friends of his own age or whatever, because his father didn't seem to really have those ideologies and his brother didn't seem to either. So they kind of showed that we tend to stereotype and be like, oh, it's because they're parents. But I also know people who whose parents weren't racist and who their kids are, you know, so like, I like that they showed that they broke the kind of the trend with that you see in film.
DariusYeah, I mean, I mean, **** after what, the 5th grade, your kids are outside your home more than inside your home. They're in school all day. So, you know.
JordanRight.
DariusObviously, it matters what environment the parents provide, but ultimately, for sure. You know, external factors matter a lot, too. So.
JordanYeah.
DariusAll right. Heading into act three, the breaking point. A long day, the long day reaches a breaking point that as public disagreements become impossible to contain the neighborhood must face what has been building beneath ordinary routines. I'll be honest, this movie kind of loses me a bit here. It was hard to track what was going on. It was like all these characters are popping in and out. There's a fight on the street. I was just like, I watched the first hour Friday night and then I watched the second hour Sunday morning before football. And I was crying. About that last 30 minutes, I was like, I've seen Rosie Perez in her underwear. I'm good to go. We can go. I'm ready to tap out on this at this point. I've seen that.
JordanInteresting. So for me, it was the opposite, because for me, honestly, the first hour and a half of the movie, nothing really happens. Everybody's just walking around the street. Like that's just really, it's Sesame Street. It's basically Sesame Street with racism. It's the first half of the movie. So the second-half, the third actor, I was glad like something finally happened. I mean, I kind of knew it was going to happen, but you know. and also for one, we kind of just know the fact that like Spiley's character is a deadbeat. Yeah. No one, no one ever talks about that when they talk about the movie, like your kids down the street, you haven't seen him in a week and you didn't, you didn't drop off no money for your baby mama. Like what?
DariusAlso, he's like barely employed. He like delivers one pizza a day for this.
JordanOne pizza an hour.
DariusYeah, he's out. Nobody here has any work ethic. It's just.
JordanYeah, bro. You're not. Yeah.
DariusEven the people in like the restaurant, they're still just kind of hanging out. Like they're not. True. It's just, that was kind of, I mean, look, I'm not from New York City in the 80s, but I get that vibe from a lot of movies back then. It's just like, when we watched Crooklyn, like there was like one dude on the block with a job and he was like the good guy on the block because he had to get up to go to work in the morning. And like that just made you like a standup gentleman. Right. None of these people have anywhere to be. And maybe they would run into less conflict and problems and chaos and they had stable employment, So maybe I'll do it.
JordanYeah, that is a good point. Cause it was like, yo, what is no, like the old lady who was watching Neighborhood, she was old. Presumably she's retired. All right, cool. The mayor, he was old, presumably he's retired. I'm gonna assume he probably was like fought like Vietnam or something like that, you know, whatever. Everybody else, I'm like, what are y'all doing? Like the dude who's like going off on him, who's wearing the purple, that weird rant he went on. And I'm like, you're just walking a bit on the street too. How are you any better than him? You're doing the same **** you're not doing ****.
DariusMaybe if you were in an air-conditioned office doing a job, you wouldn't be uncomfortable.
JordanYou wouldn't be tweaking on a ******* stoop on a homeless man.
DariusYeah, maybe if you left the house for 8 hours every day to do something with yourself, you wouldn't be so irritable. And you know, you people find things to do with free time. And so maybe you need less of it, if you will. Right. So I'm out of things to say about act three, man. So you take it far from here. What you got?
JordanAll right. So we have the, it's the end of the day, they're clocking out, and then his friends want to get a piece of pizza at the end of the day, which is ******** because you know at work, I'm trying to go home. **** you. I wouldn't let him in. I wouldn't let him in. I'd be like, nah, **** that. You know what time we close, you live here every day. Then they come in there, it's all good vibes. Then of course, Radio Raheem and I forget his name, but the dude with the glasses comes in there with their protest at the end of the day. I don't even understand what they were doing. The day is over, so you can't boycott a closed business.
DariusThey just wanted.
JordanIt wasn't a good point.
DariusYeah, they just wanted to be annoying. That's all you. Everybody knows. who has the friend who is just like the super pro-black friend who almost seeks conflict everywhere they go. And it's like, I get it. This person probably isn't, you know, the most progressive on racial issues. But you're literally seeking conflict in every interaction you've had today. And I'm tired of you.
JordanYeah. Right. Right. Like that's my thing too, because it's like there are times, most of the time, yes, it's just somebody just being racist a lot of times in those particular, situations, right? You're not starting anything. You can just walk into a business and you can just feel the tension there. But it's like you, this character like was the tension in every situation, in every environment. And those situations make it really difficult. Like where you're, like you've ever been out in a spa and like maybe somebody's like fainted or they're just, out of control and it's like you need to temper chill get out chill out because they're going to they don't know that you don't have bad intentions so they're going to see your passion as something different because they don't they're not familiar with it so you got to like learn how to navigate those environments in those situations.
