- On this 41st episode of the Kung Fu Genius Podcast, the KFG (aka Alex Richter) will be answering all sorts of hot nonsense from RUclips. Lots of gems, lots of Wing Chun upper cuts and hooks (?), lots of “my Sifu is the only Sifu to learn the real stuff from that famous guy!” Let’s get to it!

Another great episode. I am really new to KFG, so have lots to catch up with. I agree that had Bruce Lee NOT suddenly died young, he wouldn't have become "Bruce Lee" as we know him. I think Van Damme's career and life show a possible trajectory that Bruce Lee's could have taken had he lived. They are pretty similar, IMO. Van Damme also burst into the public consciousness with a handful of incredible movies, and with the same screen presence and charisma that Bruce had. The difference is that Van Damme didn't die suddenly after doing Bloodsport, and so we have witnessed his subsequent awful movies, his failed marriages, his self destruction through drug addiction, and of course, his growing old. He's now in his early 60s. Because he didn't die young, he doesn't have any Matt Pollys or John Littles writing books about him or making documentaries about him.
Totally agree. I like to see what practitioners are doing with the art. I also agree that it is hard to find people that can talk about wing chun but also talk about bjj, mma, etc.
Thank you!
Great episode. Thanks for answering my question sifu.
Yes it was the late James Demille thanks for the correction.
I did hear too that Bruce & James weren't on good terms after he left Seattle. Story I heard was James went to see Bruce to "talk" as Bruce didn't want James using his name to promote his school anymore. James being a young thug at the time knew he couldn't beat Bruce so brought a gun as back up...ooohh
It was resolved amicably it seems...
You never hear anything about Jesse or James visiting LA or keeping in touch with Bruce like Taki. Makes you wonder if there was bad blood there. ✌
Ving Tsun Keys, one of the first Ving Tsun books I've read and loved it. Rest in peace Chan Chee Man and José Ortiz. Nothing but respect for these two great teachers
I miss Chan Sifu terribly
Every week I can’t wait to watch this podcast!!! Love these guys!
Thank you!
55:00 That was a great question. Just my two cents. There are some WC books that should be grabbed if anything for historical reasons as they are no longer in print. (Some are multiplying in price--- one I know is definitely going upwards of $400 online) Just one more cent, of course your WT family and followers know this but I just wanted to remind others that MA books are best used as a compliment to learning from a qualified instructor from the system in question. Some WC books I have in mind simply (and sometimes deliberately) do not provide essential perspective needed that only an instructor can provide.
Im sure lnosanto said when Bruce went in for the kill he would blast through his opponent like a smaller version of Joe Frazier
26:41 Howard Stern all over again, I'm an idiot, lol..
Awesome episode! :)
Considering that he had a young widow with young kids and probably might not have had an insurance payout might well have swayed the doctors to opt for the equagesic conclusion. Its compassionate and understandable
Another fun episode! Great job!
Much appreciated!
@@TheKungFuGenius anytime!
Oh Im so sorry to hear that james DeMille had passed away . I just got into his lectures
Would it be possible to do an episode dedicated to him or maybe focusing on him ?
Yet another cracking episode.Great banter between you three.Keep it up Mr KFG!
Thank you very much
Some people who Sifu Alex might consider interviewing/having friendly discussions on Wing Chun, etc.?:
- Sifu Jason Korol of Greenville Academy Martial Arts (Wing Chun, JKD, Boxing)
- Sifu Dominick Izzo (Wing Chun applied in law enforcement)
- Sifu Phu of Enter Shaolin (Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Chin Na, Qigong)
- Martial Club RUclips channel guys (Variety of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts short films)
And are you guys familiar with the WuTangCollection RUclips channel? That channel has tons of old Kung Fu movies here on RUclips.
Great episode!! That Dryson question had me rolling on the floor. Couldn't finish my pushups!!🤣🤣
Just like he couldn’t finish getting to the point.
@@TheKungFuGenius Hilarious....LMFAO !
Love the channel! I always liked the way Randy Williams taught Wing Chun the best. Traditional but not too traditional.
It was so great to see some wing chun being used even by bigger name fighters like Anderson Silva and even Conner McGregor used a lot of JKD concepts and techniques. When I started training MMA I basically stopped using my JKD and Wing Chun, although it would come out to save my ass occasionally in sparring.
Fun random fact... Sifu Randy Williams worked for Steven Seagal and trained him in Wing Chun for a good while.
@@AztecUnshaven That's Awesome! I remember thinking that Segal looked like he was using some Escrima/Kali or even Wing Chun like patterns in a few of his movies. We cross trained some Aikido with the Wing Chun school I was studying at back in the 90s. Wing Chun is so well structured, that again although I never actually intentionally went into Wing Chun mode while doing hard MMA sparring. I truly couldn't imagine not having learned the concepts of the system. Like kuen siu kuen and pac da, the slow attack and flow drills are absolutely transferable to combat as is sensitivity training like chi sao. I am although of the opinion that modern traditional martial arts have intentionally or unintentionally preserved mostly the advanced root of the styles. If you take someone who knows nothing & never been in a fight and put them in a fight they likely won't do too well but if you teach a fighter who has the basics of kickboxing and grappling a traditional system like Wing Chun they will undoubtedly be able to apply it and enrich their fighting abilities!
Thanks, Sifu Alex great episode
Thank you kindly!
Hi Sifu Alex please tell me about that fight William Chung had long time ago with that sifu
My students have a few of your books and I agree 100% so far. I am an antique so I try to preserve the WT thing I learned in the 1990's(Sections). We are all blessed by these "free" podcasts so I figured I owed you for a few dozen already. Keep them coming...
HAHA, I got to the book promotion! I swear I had posted above before it even got into Bruce Lee's California Cocaine lifestyle.
Thank you!
You learned from Paulie zink !! Wow!! I brought all his monkey Kung-fu panther videos!! When I was 20 yrs old!! KFG you are awesome 👌!! You met alot of martial arts!! You inspire me !! Keep it up!! Brother!!
Comment 2: I forgot to add my question my apologies. I was lucky enough to come a crossed your Howcast videos and saw when you are doing Huen Sau in Siu Nim Tao; it’s a very specific movement. I am not able to keep the straightness of the arm and elbow placement while performing my circling hand. Is there a method you recommend to get more flexible for WT/WC?
20:55 HASH doesn’t kill. It never has. It might make you hungry or fall asleep.
I was going to say the same thing... unless the hash was unrefined and cut with opium.
Peace 😂 great show!
8:48 I was captain of my wrestling team in high school
4:24 you know the guy who does the famous Bui gee video? That's his sifu in wing Chun..
Bless up my brother
Sifu Alex, My neighbour and late close friend John (Saxon) once told me one - waiting in line here in our LA hood for the Post Office to open - that you didn't include him in the final super fight scene in the Enter the Time Machine alternate version. He was sad and hurt but he understood that his "good looks" could have overcast all you guys' fighting abilities! :) I loved that part of this show...still laughing....you guys are too much! And great balanced perspective of Bruce's personal phases and teaching. Best regards! JF
Thank you so much! We should have you on the podcast at some point!
Wow , John Saxon was your neighbour ?…so many stories could be told about that
This is the channel where I can learn some legit information about Bruce Lee.
Thank you KFG
I’ll try my best!
@@TheKungFuGenius I have a possibly good question, for the next AMA vid....and no it doesn't involve *Dreison* 😂🤣
So I've spent the last 10 years going through as many JKD research materials as I can find,and have set out to practicing diligently what works, for my stature (with surprising personal experiences and results),and am curious.
Do You Think It's Possible For One To Master JFGF/JKD from all 3 eras by Self Teaching?
As what I would perceive,and sense to be a quality no bullshit instructor, (meaning you Alex, sorry Dre 😂🤣) and therefore value your take on such a question.
Impressive explanation of Bruce's death! I remember reading Bruce was reportedly having trouble sleeping. Which was another reason why he was using hash. Makes sense a lot of body builders experiment with coke to keep body fat levels low. Also being a stimulant, it would likely mess with a persons sleep patterns. Not to slander Bruce at all but it's a pretty rational theory.
Si hing alex keep up the good work
Question For The Next PODCAST:
I am asking the KFG to lay aside his deep humility and answer honestly.
He has two black belts and is training in a third art. He outweighs Bruce Lee by 30 pounds. Before the shoulder injury…does he believe he could have bested a Bruce Lee that we now know had serious health issues??? (Hash) (Coke)
Hong Kong Challenge Fight rules apply.
1972 Bruce Lee versus 2018 KFG
Who wins????
14:00 you just telling the truth in here ..
I studied with Paulie Zink and his student, Jim Muse
Awesome!
Meanachtra go hiontach Gung Fu Geinis as they say in Gaelic 🇮🇪 or fantastic episode KFG…with regards to the cocaine, Bruce lee was still young when he died yet we perceive him to be older due to his philosophies, yet like all men no matter how great had his vices. A young man with pressure and fame. Like he said in the conversation with Dan Lee, life is process of continuous maturing , he just didn’t live enough to grow wiser to his actions. Keep up the great content 👍
Thank you so much! Gaelic is fascinating to me! Thanks for that.
@@TheKungFuGenius Your welcome 👍just need to get one of my questions read out now 😂
27:15 you do know about Kung Fu, cuz I learned proper Quan sao and proper fook sao from you, and I can use it too.. so ty
Hey KFG team and TFG. Long time listener, so I was wondering, you’ve mentioned highly influential figures from other styles in your life that help contribute to the betterment of your wing tsun, what I’m wondering is if there would ever be something from a different style completely that could intrigue you so greatly that you would do what you did with Tae Kwon Do and hang it up, but still use it and make reference to it in your current fighting persona, but make that other style your main game? Sorry for the many words Dre just want to help out your language arts game 😉 🤣
Great question! Thanks for supporting the podcast!
Kfg is dope🥂
Thank you!
56:26 loooool
The new standard response
Very humbling stories on Kung Fu
Drug therapy 😂 for both SH’s
Hey Alex, I've got a more complicated question in regards of Wing Chun History:
My sifu always told us, that Yip Man learned from Leung Bik, who learned from Leung Jan who comes from Guolo. He had learned from two different teachers who were part of the Red Junk(? = Rote Dschunke). The Red Junk were sailing opera singers, which was just a disguise because Kung Fu masters were supposedly "politically persecuted".
So this is just a set up for the History of Guolo, Wong Wah Saam getting taught the "special style" because he was a a lot smaller than others being taught etc etc.
The question is, how much of that history is true? Not once anywhere else did I read anything about opera singers and shit, but for some reason my teachers say stuff like "maybe the yee jee kim yong ma comes from standing in a rocking boat", the long staff was a good weapon because it was basically part of the boat, the knives were easy to hide under costumes" and so on.
I just need to know. Thanks!
PS: I really want Dre to have to read this lmao
You mean Wong Wah Saam, right?
@@TheKungFuGenius Yeah, sorry I messed it up from my schools website. gonna edit it! Again, cause I had just edited it :)
I feel like you've further reinforced my stances on Latosa Escrima. Are there any videos of the Hung Ga master?
As long as I can help you convince yourself that the thing you do for fun is really preparing you for a final showdown or zombie apocalypse, then I have done my job.
Great Episode Sifu Alex. I think you should invite Dreison to one of your episode. Lol.
That’s a good idea
Hi there thanks for being so thoughtful about all the episodes after all like to know and please analyze the William Chung with guy who is in Germany how come William couldn’t defend after all this years thanks
Sure, let’s re-open the wounds of politics from nearly 40 years ago.
25:56 facts
Great episode as alway Mr Genius. Out of curiosity what are your thoughts on the claims of Frank Dux? I believe he claimed to have met Bruce Lee and he was "supposedly" impressed with him. Keep up the great work
Great questions!
Hi Sifu Richter, what is your thought/opinion as to why GGM Yip Man never appointed an official successor to his Wing Chun lineage...surely that is the tradition in most martial arts and in the case of Wing Chun would have led to less bickering between several of GGM Yip Man's students. Kind regards and keep up the good work, Serge Beelen
Great question!
I think the better question to What if Bruce Lee was in The Matrix is What If BRANDON BRUCE LEE was in the Matrix? Had Brandon stayed with us , he would had done A Great Job👍!!
Agreed
I’m a simple man. Bruce Lee in the title I watch. Let your marketing department know. 🤣
Episode idea: a review of No Retreat, No Surrender
Much appreciated!
Sifu Alex, Thank U 4 the education of body fat. I really assume Bruce's body fat was 1% , but , with your knowledge of nutrition I see & understand how dangerous the lost of "possible body fat" can be Thanks 😊
I enjoy your podcasts and insights because you have clearly curated your knowledge carefully and are not afraid to revise your opinions based on new or newly found facts. The question about Hash in this podcast seems to have skipped over one of the premises stated in the question. It is a question that bears heavily on the "heat stroke" theory of BLs passing. I fully agree that logic strongly suggests that 5/10 & 7/20 1973 events are connected. Frequently, the Heat Stroke theory posits that 5/10 & 7/20 1973 were hot days and that the 5/10 dubbing seesion was in a sweat box without AC. On 7/20 the Heat Stroke theory holds that BL was energetically demo'ing scenes from Game Of Death @ BTP's apt. Question: Do we know if BTP's apt had AC? If so it casts doubt on the heat stroke theory and it is a fact that should be brought forward. May it be well with you.
The heat stroke theory has been debunked because his kidneys showed no signs of heatstroke.
@@TheKungFuGenius a Thanks for the reply. Yes I saw that History Channel program. But still curious if the Apt was ACd bc it puts another nail in that theory and breaks the connection to 5/10 & I've never seen any commentary on that point, if it is known.
I also have a copy of the autopsy which I’ve discussed with a few MD’s (but no one who will go in the podcast yet). Heatstroke not likely.
Level 1 we always take the hand ..
Speaking of george lazenby ...have you been in touch to see if he would come on ?
I wish!
@@TheKungFuGenius lol.. I forget that these are celebrities that need to get paid to appear … but I wonder if they’re at the age now whether they would welcome just coming on and “ letting it all out “ … especially in the zoom era
he did 20:46
8:13. Not me, I have a cousin in the UFC n trained mma,
i would love enter the dragon on 4k and the warrios journey
Me too
Q: Do you think there is a relationship between BL’s back injury and his drug use relative to his goals? If he had an irreparable injury and was in constant agony I could see why he used in order to be able to physically and mentally accomplish what he set out to do. I can imagine a world in which he felt there were no other options and a limited timeframe.
Great question
If you’ve ever had sciatica… then you know that’s a possibility
you have to consider where Bruce Lee was living, what social circles he was within and the era. Jim Morrison was running around crazy at this time lol
That said hash is just a cannabis derivative so it wouldn't really contribute to his death without some sort of synthetic added.
Hello Sifu Alex, I have questions, hot topics. What are the differences between Wing Chun around the world? What are the differences between Hong Kong and German Wing Tsun, and German and European, if any? And, what are the differences between the major proponents of WC, WT, VC, and so on? And, what is Weng Chun I've been hearing about? Thank you!
Perhaps if addressed in a Cultural Anthropological way with qualitative research methods in earnest, scientific way... A format for this is an interview format, interviewed by someone very knowledgeable on the subjects to be able to ask relevant questions- you, of course, letting the current proponents address their own styles and their perspectives of the differences of the others in their own ways. The delivery medium? Perhaps print or documentary film style. Could be fantastic! Of course, it could be a huge cluster. But, perhaps it would be fantastic!
Great question!
Too many Wing Chun practitioners trys to do Ip-Man's Wing Chun, backwards blocks waiting for the counter. Actually, it's very careful martial arts choreographing perform by real life martial arts actors. There's times actors accidently hit each other on a set
3:12 he's a bouncer? Lemme get a job!
A treatment 🤔?? U know Sifu, I think I catch what you're saying. Game of Death was an experiment of sorts! A draft where the protagonist was blackmailed to retrieve this treasure on top of the Tower of Death . On an early part of Game of Death, Bruce's character was ambush by martial arts hinch men. 2 men held him arms & a 3rd tried to 👊 him. He front kicked the 3rd guy with high heeled superfly 👞 ( back in the 70's they were the thang & Bruce was a sharp dresser) a rival gang leader got Bruce's character to reluctantly lead a small group of martial arts Associates . The Gangster abducted Bruce's sister & he had to do what he had to do to save his sister.
Who’s the Hung Gar Sifu you mentioned on this podcast?
Mak Che Kong
Hello KFG , I think we can all agree that Bruce died primarly because of his carelessness. Because whatever was the real cause of his death, the May 10th incident should have made him stop any use of any drugs immediately. But he didn't...
Agree!
Oh look who's wearing a suit now 🤣🤣
Acting is fun
@@TheKungFuGenius you can't let your co-host outshine you again right 🤣🤣
Cool segment, Si-Gung. Si-Suk is hilarious with the 'dreison' questions.
It was a fun one!
Only the best questions
It isn't called 'uncut' footage for nothing; obviously a lot of the 'double' dialogue would have landed on the cutting room floor to hit the right balance between action and philosophical content. I can't prove this of course, but isn't that how it usually goes in the editing process?
Obviously
Hey Sifu Alex. I have a quick and easy question. What’s your favorite Bruce Lee fight scene?
Great question!
I thought the BL poster behind KFG was Michael Myers 🔪
Makes sense
22:47 ya, I'm just commenting too.. nothing serious, just ideas, don't sweat the trolls sifu .
5:20 I don't think people, especially jkd guys realize, how much wing Chun actually has? They always seen to act as if the system doesn't have enough, or needs other arts infused in it, I disagree with this notion, the best interceptions I've ever seen were Gary lam mattress training interceptions..
It might make you puke or something, but death? Noooo
You said 'What if' Bruce Lee had lived and his movies became played out what would he had done ... I remember reading that Bruce said he wanted to train Brandon without all the *BS* in martial snd to be better then himself, he also wanted to work behind the camera and direct Brandon to be bigger in movies then himself ...
Sorry Dre I think Sifu Richter The Victor wins this round in the battling of the blazers 😂
Great podcast, to bad can only give one thumbs 👍 up
Thank you!
I think Bruce would've hooked up with Sammo and they would've made a lot of Asian and American martial arts movies and series and he would've made Donnie shave his head and keep his fingers closed 🤣
hahahaha
If Bruce Lee lived to appear in the Matrix, he would be the Architect making that horrible speech. He would point out that the last version of the Matrix had more room to groove.
Thanks for commenting
11:51, see, just like when you taught the street application for fook sao, just a flat cover n boom, but people are teaching a grab? They yes h a behind the head thing? Lol they teach fook sao strike with the wrist? Lol it's a subduing hand guys?
29:18 cocaine heart n blood vessel problems.. likely
I don't understand why this removal of sweat glands keeps getting brought up. We have millions of sweat glands over most of our body. Sure there are some areas that have more, but still.
Agreed!
Lazenby is supposed to be a CIA operative witch help Hai Tien (Lee) in his mission to the temple . Movie is about all multiple martial arts (incuding JKD Kareem wich are modified genetic (in Wuhan ???lol) ...yep).All these martial arts are bad (kind of incomplete) . So , outside pagoda have some karate and taekwondo guys (bosses Chuck Norris and Bob Wall) , Hwang In-Shik taekwondo kicker , then Wong Shun Leung Wing Chun and Taky Kimura Mantis , Inosanto escrima sticks , Chi Han jai Hapkido (new martial art bla bla) ...and Kareem (lizard eyes illuminati in full light ...hmmm ) JKD . Bruce Lee Hai Tien is more than JKD is "having no limitation as limitation" and filled with water .... Damn .
I gotta chime in since I know a thing or 2 about cannabis & no one in documented medical history has ever died of a "cannabis overdose". That'd be an important one to take in consideration regarding Bruce dying from hasch. Peace out ✌🙏
No one said cannabis overdose - unrefined and unsanitary hash from Nepal which had a history of being problematic in the early 70’s.
Where is mine
You should add a time stamp to your comment otherwise no one will know what you are referring to as is the case with this context free non sequitur you wrote.
Folks would had been turned off about the philosophies & theories of JKD. In parts of Enter the Dragon 🐉, Bruce was preaching his philosophical views on martial arts. I believe if you're going preach, make sure you're entertaining is soo GREAT, folks don't see the preach & sub consciously gets the message without feeling they were preach at all
If people were going to Get Turned Off by Bruce Lee ' s Philosophy 's why so Many people Still by his Books on his Philosophy's ? And watch Video's on his Philosophy ?
@@jerryjordan2482 As movie 🎥 viewers NOT philosophers Seekers they maybe turned off if they feel preach to. An action 🎬 fan isn't going to Always be a martial arts student! In Enter the Dragon 🐉 there was philosophical contents that was cut out of the film because folks wouldn't understand Bruce's visions. In recent years those views were restored. Say you're going to a horror 💀 movie🎥 where a father or preach is a character, aren't U going to want him to do his Godly duties to possessed characters or are U going to listen to a sermon you rather have with your spiritual leader or sit back hear what father in the film is preaching to U

When folks go to the movies 🎥, they their to be entertained NOT School or Preach to inspire withou teaching ,but ,entertaining for great storytelling & can get a point across
In Enter the Dragon 🐉 although I can grasp & comprehend Bruce's philosophy people like my brother, wasn't into the Theory of Zen yin-yang philosophies Bruce incorporated in his work

i just watched pena choke out nunes wow ok back to wing chun
Amazing fight
@35:05 That being the genisis of video games is not actually Bruce Lee being ahead of his time at all, because it is directly from the history of Wing Chun. Early masters of WC had actually done that whole "graduate to the next level after each master". So if video games do that (indeed they do), then they got it from Wing Chun history via a fellow who has reported it to you in his flik.
@36:55 "Tower of Death is coming off a bit preachy" well not really at all if you compare it to LONGSTREET. That is LITERALLY fifty thousand times more "preachy" than the multiple brief sentences in Tower of Death.
"It wouldve been a stinker" ...and yet the Longstreet got serious critical praise, not stinker critiques. And remember that LongSt is wayyyyyyy more "preachy". WAY more, and recieving no stinker label. It got the opposite
Game of Death, not Tower of Death - we are talking the “Canvan cut”, not another exploitative crack on the GOD footage. Re: the graduate to the next level in WC - what is your source on this information?
@@TheKungFuGenius : Ohhh I see, I was thinking Warriors Journey cut w/J. Little. So this Canvan cut or Game of Death Redux (which I haven't seen yet) you're then saying is more preachy than Longstreet? Cuz LongSt is super preachy and was extremely well recieved w/some critical praise, not a stinker.
Re: Ascending Pagoda WC, the source is the Martin Scorse produced film "Grandmaster" about Ip Man by Wong Kar Wei.
As for you calling it "game of death", it is my understanding that Bruce Lee titled it the Pagoda of death or the Tower of death (per the actual story) and Americans repackaged it as game of death w/that horrid debacle. And by this the ACTUAL title is Tower of Death. Or is this not correct
Hypothetical
Dre is bouncing at the club. He’s dealing with an agressive old lady and sees, out of the corner of his eye, a mouse run by with a tattoo of the number 42 on its neck. A gangsta mouse. At that moment, the old lady clocks Dre with her tai chi. After the stars clear, Dre sees someone who looks very familiar. He recognizes him as Dreison!
Without saying a word, Dre and Dreison both point at the moon, as if each were encouraging the other to view all the heavenly glory. Dre gets distracted staring at Dreison’s finger, causing their fingertips to touch. Creation implodes.
After a millennia of eons, a new universe forms out of that hinge event. It’s 2021 and things are largely the same, except there reigns a ruler supreme: Dreiceman. He’s a terrible rapper, but everyone is afraid to tell him so. He trained under Dai Sifu GM Dragron and is unstoppable.
Somehow, Alex Richter is the only one who remembers the old universe, the way things used to be.
The other major difference? Bruce Lee is now younger than Alex and is his student.
Question for KFG: How would you train up Bruce Lee to destroy Dreiceman? His raw potential could make him a great student, but his personality traits could make him a horrible student.
Hahaha
Hash, coke, heat stroke, Betty, a little sake, a little weight loss..no rest..sloooow down Bruce.
From having a bad trip on hash before... I kept having a compulsive thirst i couldn't quench. I'm still betting his brain swelling was from Hyponatremia induced from super low body fat. the Mannitol would exacerbate the Hyponatremia and brain swelling. If i was going to put a bet with the Dreison time machine to find out
then again, "coke sex" killing him is kinda rockstar
@@vortexsophia sex drugs and kung Fu. 😂🤣
Wing Chun n jui jitsu compliment each other perfect
20:26 marijuana can hardly cause death . Suspect
What do you think about fight commentary breakdowns? Hes worse than Beerdy in my opinion.
He interviewed me on his channel.
@@TheKungFuGenius I watched and enjoyed the interview. My perspective has changed slightly. I just dont like how he refers to people as masters when clearly they are not.
Get Canvan on the podcast 👍
I have a question for the next episode (I listened to the podcast Already).
Hypothetical:
You are driving home after a hard day of training, tired and exhausted. Dozing off, unbeknownst to you. You wake up to a wall coming closer and you yell "OH SHIT I'M GOING TO DIE".
As you crash frontally into the wall it is revealed, that this wall was, in fact, a portal to the past. You drive right through it and your car jumps out in some random turf that looks like Chinatown, but could also be Hong Kong. You get out of your wrecked car, not knowing what's just happened. "Shit", you say. Followed by "Keep it eaaasyyyy".
So you walk around, it's night already and you find yourself in a dead end street with garbage bins and stuff, but as you look into the dark you see some men talking menacingly. You sneak up and hide behind the trash and listen them speak in Cantonese. It's about something criminal and bad. Turns out its the triads, and the biggest boss of them all right there. It's July the 10th 1973. Just 10 days before this boss dies from a cocaine overdose.
What do you do?
Dreison is that you?
@@TheKungFuGenius Just answer the question Mr Genius!
Is Mr. Dryson related to Dreison?
