Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burnett's the Monday morning podcast for Monday, January 27th, 2014 out of what you're doing.

I'm out here in Hawaii the day after the pro bowl. I brought all my fucking, I brought my mix. I brought my cords. I brought everything that I needed, except for a goddamn microphone.

I got to do it this bootleg way because my flight isn't until later.

And look who just walked in the lovely near. I thought you're going to take a walk down the beach to end your little trip.

All right, all right, boy, hey, you know, don't let us stop you. All right, enjoy yourself. All righty, see that she walks down the goddamn beach.

And I'm sitting here swaving away. Did you hear a goddamn thank you? Not just kidding, we had a great time out here.

But yeah, our flight isn't until later on. So I got to do it now so I don't have a fucking microphone. So I apologize.

Anyways, I am out here in Hawaii. I had a great time. Did a show Friday night and at this, this theater, I don't even remember the fucking thing.

The Hawaiian Honolulu Center or something like that. It was really fucking cool, man. There was like the Chinese New Year was going on right next door, right down the street.

And I was fucking crazy. It was sort of this artsy pool and shady part of town. And it was night and they were lighting off those fireworks.

And I didn't know what it was at first. And I'm like peeking around the corners, something walking down the street going, what the fuck is that?

And because they were lighting off like those giant cakes of firecrackers as a couple of Chinese dudes are walking around the dragon outfit on.

Was that offensive? I don't give a fuck. It's basically what I saw. I'm not trying to disrespect your fucking New Year's.

And you know, I grew up watching like Platoon. All those fucking movies there. I was missing an action. All of that, which basically just it was, I don't know why Asians didn't complain more in the 80s.

Some of the fucking movies and the way that they made you guys. And that's what's funny. That stuck in my head. I didn't think it was. I didn't think it wasn't until I heard gunpowder being lit off. And I was in this part of town that had all this, you know, Asian looking stuff.

I started feeling like, hey, am I going to get stuck in a bamboo cage with some rats and then get dragged out? Mao, Mao, is that going to happen? Like I was literally feeling that which I know to speak it out loud is ridiculous.

I guess what I'm really doing here is I'm speaking about the power of the images that we see on television and movies. They're corrupting our children.

I guess maybe tip of goal ahead of point. It's one of the ways I went down there. Then once I saw what was going on, it was cool as hell. I got to, I'll show, actually, I'll post the video because the video is basically me gradually discovering what it is.

I kind of knew as I started to walk down towards it. I think somebody finally told me. And it really looks like the beginning of either some Oscar winning movie or some really creepy YouTube video that they're going to take down soon.

It just looks like something fucked up is about ready to happen. And it's actually celebration. So if you ever go down there, white people and black people, you know, like what you understand Asian better than us.

You just as confused as we are. You know, if you fucking I was when you go down there and the dragons doing all the goddamn thing, you know, you know, when it comes over to you stick money and it's mouth and that's supposed to bring you good luck.

I don't fucking know what I participate in. I'm on my best behavior. I'm in a different country out here in Hawaii. I don't give a shit what they say that this is part of America. This isn't it is, but it isn't. You know what I mean?
