Cook shafts because of the security I cook at home from my kids you're -- Nomar Kirk really your job to come as well. Whatever number -- -- some -- hopefully I can had to chop things up for use. To that Kirk I think that sounds like it that's a good start. What do they call this the start of the film marvelous work in LA Luka are well let's talk the -- -- because he's got a film coming out. Cassidy any Padre I always wonder why we don't have more I don't know Mexican tell -- coming to the big screen will tell us what. We know there's been a huge. Yearning for that for. Decades now and I'm finally giving the people what they want Armando Alvarez tell us how you came up with this idea and it was a group of guys that some of your friends that you came up with this idea. Well actually initial idea I kind of came up with it always kind of you know. -- tell -- on late night TV and wondered. Without. It really over act after act and I thought to myself. Can you wanna correct is that if it. Yeah there there is and then I thought all the before who replaced myself in the world of of a Spanish language comedy really and thought there would be unique opportunity and I feel like -- And we really haven't seen them before and that's kind of how it all got started as your -- that was the germ -- got a full yes odd. How well did you know Spanish going it is because you speak Spanish throughout the entire felt sure titles in the film when we got -- Cassie Denny project was that loosely translated out of my father okay. That cost that didn't bother me any putt it OK I have to make -- I'm learning -- so this is it gonna really more of an educational film. I originally -- I don't really legitimate people out there will be showing this and schools hopefuls all over the United States that's my goal. On the as far as the idea it -- give people the story line for costs of any positive. Well it's kind of one of weird year typical kind of soap opera stories and it's I'm I'm the this a ranch hand some of a famous rancher. And Diego -- plays my brother. Of course sharp right I could see the result and he is used returning. Two or two or ranch that has seen better days he's come coming back from the north as an international businessman. To us. -- to save us and that it turns out. He's a drug dealer what yes I don't wanna spoiler so thing. And anyway there is. A lot of a lot of passion. As you'll. I love and drew gets. Other drugs drugs a lot of intrigue and mystery. -- like everything you everything you hope for a film I want this story because there is no sense of stereotyping at all with a Mexican I don't know no no the celery and don't material.

Golden State yes Golden State and San Francisco it's -- -- -- going right on point right don't Wilt Chamberlain is the underhand style when he scored a hundred point -- I didn't realize he's had an accident. Now why. I will why why don't current NBA players use the underhand style because I don't think it's mentally and we want alpha males in our sports don't -- -- Or beta either one that's that's good you've said you won't do another sports movie but is there one. That would lead you to come out and do another sports police say a bad.
