small maker of apps like I am t-pain which we will now demonstrate we’re gonna sing and then it’s gonna be t-pain eyes hold it right here moving at the speed of conversation cuz it’s a good mythical morning alright so there was a beat plane but now I’ll let you hear that oh I like that alright thanks for joining us and for moving along with us at the speed of conversation this is another episode of good mythical morning that we do every weekday morning to become a part of your morning routine how many times do I have to say morning for you to know that you don’t have to even watch it in the morning well if you keep saying morning you’re trying to make people watch it in the morning and I don’t want to make people watch it it should be good mythical day we talked about that but it doesn’t have two hymns in it we wanted to be able to say gee mm and GMD isn’t like genuine Miller Genuine Draft that’s yeah MGB yeah with our genuine dress right we’re not sponsored by it we ought be responsive by smell today so let’s let’s just move on I to the farmers market well my mom was in town recently we thought about bringing her on amadai mom and I is what we call her because her name is Diane she’s a she’s not because she’s about to die she is a grandmother and that was what she wanted to be called we love it mama died it’s a good southern grandma name nobody else has it mama died came into town for a couple of days we thought about bringing her on the show but we didn’t want to do that to her I mean you know what she she would she’s charged too much yeah her rates are too high you know we just can’t afford we can’t afford to bring her off but what we could do is we could take her to the farmers market in Hollywood you know now when you say we don’t mean II of you you mean you my families and the one wasn’t invited the reason that we took her to the farmers markets because we’re trying to show her Los Angeles and you know and she and she actually did live out here for a little bit over at Thousand Oaks when I was at when I was a kid but she wasn’t a huge fan of the California experience but she likes to visit and she likes to to come out and see how things are different and you know you take people to the Hollywood farmers market and you just get to see a lot of things that you don’t get to see back in North Carolina now explain to them how that Hollywood farmers market works in general right it’s basically it’s a street or you can explain it you could tell me to explain it in the amendment I’m asking you that’s correct me if I’m wrong but it’s a street that usually has cars on it that they close I’ll close it off on Sundays in the in tents and there’s people Hawking their wares is a Hawking or Hawking Hawking is like a Lukey let’s say selling okay they’re selling stuff and those things include food lots of different kinds of food those things include all these different crafts there’s just a lot of interesting things to buy and a lot of interesting people to see and it is the people that I want to talk about because we’re all farmers right well you would think that there’s a lot of farmers I’m talking about the people who are not only selling stuff for the people who are frequenting we’re partaking in the farmers market the customers and it made me come to a conclusion or I’ve got a I’ve got a theory about Los Angeles and being here that I will get to eventually okay we enter into the farmers market and within 20 seconds we see a man this man has on vinyl black vinyl pants that are very very tight and been going to a bell bottom formation at the bottom where he is wearing very very large and high platform shoes I’m talking maybe eight inches of heel and front part of the shoe he’s like almost on stilts so he’s a circus performer no he’s just coming to the farmers market he’s just a custom he has on a gold sink ‘wind sequined tank top and then over that a black vinyl jacket keep in mind it’s like 84 degrees out there and then he has on he’s got huge dreadlocks kind of pulled back almost like the predator he kind of reminded me of the predator and these really futuristic glasses I’m sure he would love to hear you say that you know who you look like man now listen you look like the predator this guy is just a normal guy normal guy walking through the Hollywood farmers market if this guy was at Walmart in Fuquay Varina they would call the cops to say the aliens have come the aliens are here they would be no they would be completely convinced that we were under attack by aliens and this guy’s just at the farmers market buying carrots buying tomatillos and stuff you know I going down a little bit further did you talk to this guy no I just looked at it did you take you did you take his photo no I just looked at him why do you mental picture well you could have shared the photo with us man well he’s probably online somewhere just type in crazy man at farmers market actually you know what will happen long as market predator you’re gonna get a bunch of pictures because I go down a little bit further and there’s these musicians you know and there’s this one guy who is this old Chinese man who looks like a kung-fu master and I’m not exaggerating most very long gray and white foo man shoot down here long hair and he has his hat and he has a guitar and he’s playing the guitar and from a distance you hear and see he’s just went oh and he get a look at closer and you listen and he’s like singing standards like blue suede shoes I guess that’s kind of standard it’s an Elvis song but you listen close he’s like good and all the songs sound exactly the same he’s just going from one to the next people putting money in the thing you know they want to see this so kung-fu Elvis impersonator yes but then that was that wasn’t even the beginning of it cuz how did you did you did you put any money in the Hat no did you talk to him no did you take his phone I looked at him I go down a little bit further and now I see one man with a bongo drum this is what he’s doing boom boom boom that’s it boom boom he’s just hitting a bongo over and over again if it ain’t broke don’t fix it that’s not it though okay there is a family that has put a blanket down right in front they have chosen the spot they have put a blanket down in front of boom man and they are front rows he just like normal-looking yuppie family and they’re just eating stuff that they’ve always food they’ve gotten from the farmers market and they have chosen to situate themselves in front of the bone man because because they because they’re part of the scene you understand they’re part of this Hollyweird thing that’s happening at the farmers market where there’s this the bonger man sitting there boom he’s not playing a beat I guess it is kind of a beat what it doesn’t singing it was set up shop was he selling a CD nothing he was just boom because I would buy that song and then okay and then the last thing is I hear what I hear as good music like it’s right here I don’t know something less pleasant and I go up and there is like a six-foot eight man playing the harp and I make eye contact with this guy and he’s got these glasses and they’re kind of down like this and he’s looking up at me and this guy is looking at me and smiling and has just this infectious smile and he is communicating to me with his eyes that he is doing he is having the most fun he has ever had playing this Hartman there’s no hat around him you can’t give him money and then this oh this kind of this disheveled looking kind of so he was this guy was really sweaty and kind of disheveled kind of greasy hair kind of going one way as you know playing the harp makes a man sweat no no no the man came up to him oh this is a different guy okay a customer man comes up kind of here kind of going off to one side he’s got part of his shirt tucked in and part of it not tucked in and he’s not making a fashion statement you know I’m saying that kind of guy okay and he just starts doing this lightly he like closes his eyes sort of halfway he’s like starts dancing to the harp now was the harpist eyes still locked on you no no they were looking at this guy who was dancing because I was wondering how long you you and him were in an I embrace yeah and I’m like 10 to 15 feet away at this point I kind of moved over towards the pomelos you gave that out you gave the high half tucked in dude some space in space to dance and then I’m just I’m fascinated with course my mom is fascinated with us too but I’m just thinking he has not fled no and I’m looking at this guy and then he beat his harp song ends resonant ending and then they begin a conversation and I can overhear parts of it and then I hear the harp man say yeah man everything balances out I mean it took me three years to figure it out I was supposed to be playing the harp and when he says it took me three years to figure out I was supposed to be playing the harp he doesn’t mean like as a hobby what he is saying is I am supposed to be playing the harp that is what I am supposed to do with my life I am a heart player in the farmers money my role he was based saying my role in the universe is to play the heart and it took me three years to figure that out and then that was when it hit me that and they know that guy said it took me three years to figure out that I’m supposed to dance funny you’re like busted dance to the heart it hit me three years in one day North Carolina boy from a small town comes to Los Angeles goes to the farmers market and recognizes that all of these things are weird okay let’s just be honest I love it I’m gonna go back I enjoy it I love the diversity of the people and of the food and the things that they’re being sold but I recognize that this is weird okay this is straight-up weird and good what I then I came to the conclusion that if I stay here if we continue to live here for an extended period of time it’s not gonna be weird anymore at some point it becomes the new normal I fear that day and there’s gonna be a day when I tell you link we’ve been here for 20 years working it took me that long to figure out that I’m supposed to be playing the heart and then we’re going to quit this we’re gonna shut it all down and you’re gonna go to the farmers market and you’re gonna see me and when people come by make eye contact with me I’m gonna look at them like I am having the best time of my life playing the heart if you guys want to move yourself into the future artistically I invite you to draw a picture of Rhett playing the harp in the farmers market and me dancing with half of my shirt tucked in in front of him and then we sent it to us in our PA box or post it on the community and we’ll put it up here we can we can fixate on it so that we can realize our true potential let’s also realize how we’re gonna in this episode of good mythical morning go to the farmers market Hollyweird it’s fun where the wheel lands is where it stops we’re gonna read it and it’s gonna tell us what to do I was hoping that would be a little more catchy but it wasn’t Rhett apologize to link in advance or something finally you’re gonna apologize in advance two decades from now when we’re at the farmers market yes I’m on the harp you’re dancing yes I’m going to ask you to leave okay I’m gonna tell you that you should be doing something else besides just dancing to my heart music you should be playing your own instrument or selling something fruit of some kind you should have your own thing just get your own thing I want to sit here I want to play the heart I want strangers to dance not my lifelong best friend and listen I’m sorry about that I’m sorry that I tell you that I forgive you see you tomorrow in advance
