0:00.0 | Hi guys, I'm Adam Wilborn from What Culture. Very pleased to say I am joined now by the legend |
0:13.6 | that is Biggie Biggie. Thank you so much for taking time to chat to us today. |
0:17.1 | I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. |
0:19.0 | No, great to have you on and great to talk to you about this fantastic kick start of project |
0:23.9 | of yours. Our heroes rock. For most people who may be a little bit unaware about it, |
0:28.0 | tell us a little bit more about it. So let's all start it from me. I think so after the murder |
0:32.7 | of George Floyd, so many of us were really hit by it. And especially it was honestly the first time |

1:29.3 | blurs, black nerds and our affinity for culture and anime. And I felt like using our gear to |
1:39.7 | make a statement, whether that be solidarity or education, I felt it was important. So, you know, |
1:46.0 | for a while, you know, we had all this free time and I was just kind of going to walk daily to kind |
1:49.9 | of clear my head or just think. And it kind of became this meditative thing. And during one of my |
1:54.3 | walks, I kept thinking, man, what about doing something akin to schoolhouse rock but for important |
