oh nice I like that all right 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 become. a part of your morning routine how many. times do I have to say morning for you. to know that it 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 M's. in it we wanted to be able to say GM.

and GMD isn't like. genuine Miller Genuine Draft that's yeah. okay. MGD Genuine Draft right we're not. sponsored by by beer we're sponsored by. SM today so let's let's just move on I. uh to the farmers market well my mom was. in town recently we thought about. bringing her on Mama d Mama D is what we. call her because her name is Diane she's. a she you not because she's about to die. she is a grandmother and that was what. she wanted to be called we love it Mama.

D it's a good Southern Grandma name. nobody else has it uh Mama D 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 who well she she she 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 it don't mean me and you. you mean you and your family and the I. wasn't invited the reason that we took.

the farmers market is 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 a. thousand oaks when I was a 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 the Hollywood farmers market. Works in general right it's basically. it's a street you can explain it you.

could tell me to explain it and then I'm. asking you correct me if I'm wrong but. it's a street that usually has cars on. it that they close off they close it off. on Sundays and then they bring in tents. and there's people Hawking their Wares. is it Hawking or Hawking Hawking is like. a Lukie 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 well. they'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 but the people who. are. frequenting who are partaking in the. Farmers Market the. customers and it made me come to a. conclusion or I've got I've got a theory. about Los Angeles and being here that I. will get to eventually okay. 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 then go to a. bell bottom formation at the bottom oh. wow 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. stilt so he's a circus performer no he's. just coming to the farmers's market he's. just a customer he has on a gold. sequined 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 and. fuqu Arina they would call the cops and. say the aliens have come the aliens are.

here they would be they would know they. would be completely convinced that we. were under attack by aliens and this guy. is just at the farmers market buying. carrots buying tomatillos and stuff you. know I go down a little bit further did. you talk to this guy no I just looked at. him did you take did you take his photo. no I just looked at him why didn't you. take his photo a 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 happen Farmers.

Market Predator you'll get you'll get a. bunch of pictures cuz I go down a little. bit further and there's these musicians. you know and there's this one guy who. it's this old Chinese man who looks like. a Kung Fu Master and I'm not. exaggerating very long gray and white Fu. man Sho down to 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. going and then you get a little bit. closer and you listen and he's like. singing standard like Blue Suede Shoes I.

guess that's not a standard it's an. Elvis song but you listen closely he's. like stay off my. bled and all the songs sound exactly the. same and he's just going from one to the. next and people are 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 CU so 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 that's. it 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 chok in the.

spot they have put a blanket down in. front of B man and they row SE just like. normal looking yepy family and they're. just eating stuff that they've all this. food they've gotten from the farmers. market and they have chosen to situate. themselves in front of the bong man. because because they because they're. part of the scene you understand they're. part of this Holly weird thing that's. happening at the farmers market where. there's this the bonger man sitting. there b he's not playing a beat I guess.

it is kind of a beat he wasn't singing. he set up shop was he selling a CD. nothing he was just boom cuz I would buy. that CD and then okay and then the last. thing is I Hear What I Hear as good. music like it's I I hear I'm like that's. something that's Pleasant and I go up. and there is like a 6'8 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 he is communicating to. me with his eyes that he is doing he is. having the most fun he has ever had. playing this harp and there's no hat. around him you can't give him money and. then this this kind of this disheveled. looking kind of he was this guy was. really sweaty and kind of disheveled. kind of greasy hair kind of going one. way well as you know playing the harp. makes a man sweat no no no a man came up. to him oh this is a different guy okay a. customer man comes up kind of hair 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 what I'm. saying that kind of guy okay and he just. starts doing this like little he like. closes his eyes sort of halfway and he's. like starts dancing dancing to the harp. now was the harpst eyes still locked on. you no now they were looking at this guy. who was dancing cuz I was wondering how. long you you and him were in an eye. Embrace and and I'm like 10 to 15 ft. away at the at this point I'm kind of.

moved over towards the pomelos you gave. you gave the half tucked in dude some. space gave him some space to dance and. then I'm just I'm fascinated of course. my mom is fascinated with this too but. I'm just sitting there she has not fled. no and I'm looking at this guy and then. he be he 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 out I was. supposed to be playing the.

harp and when he says it took me 3 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 harp player in the Farmers Market. my role he was basically saying my role. in the universe is to play the harp and. it took me three years to figure that. out and then that was when it hit me. that. and then the other guy took it took me.

three years to figure out that I'm. supposed to dance in front of you like. supposed to 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. are are weird okay let's just be honest. I love it I'm I'm going to 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 going to be weird anymore. at some point it becomes The New Normal. I fear that day and there's going to 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 I'm. supposed to be out here dancing and then. we're going to quit this we're going to. shut it all down and you're going to go.

to the farmers market and you're going. to see me and when people come by and. make eye contact with me I'm going to. look at I'm like I having the best time. of my life playing the harp if you guys. want to U Move Yourself into the future. artistically I invite you to draw a. picture of Rett playing the harp in the. farmers market and me dancing with half. of my shirt tucked in in front of him. and then we send it to us in our PO box. or post it on the community and we'll. put it up here we we can fixate on it so. that we can realize our true.

potential let's also realize how we're. going to end this episode of Good. Mythical Morning go to the farmers. market and hly weird it's. fun where the wheel lands is where it. stops we're going to read it and it's. going to tell us what to. [Music]. do I was hoping that would be a little. more catchy but it. wasn't Rett apologized to link in. advance or. something. finally you're going to apologize in. advance uh two decades from now when.

we're at the farmers's market yes I'm on. the. harp you're dancing yes I'm going to ask. you to leave okay I'm going to 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 harp I want. strangers to dance not my life long best. friend and listen I'm sorry about that.
