00:01:02.049 --> 00:01:06.709
with this podcast with a question. Have you ever

00:01:06.709 --> 00:01:09.870
heard of the Nickelodeon show called Avatar,

00:01:10.069 --> 00:01:14.890
The Last Airbender? Well, it holds a special

00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:22.209
place in one of my favorite TV shows. Maybe the,

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:27.930
my favorite TV show, maybe at that. Probably

00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:30.790
sitting number one position in my favorite of

00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:37.510
TV shows. And that says something. And if you

00:01:37.510 --> 00:01:41.329
haven't heard of it, I'll give you a little brief

00:01:41.329 --> 00:01:50.189
history lesson on the show. But before I dive

00:01:50.189 --> 00:01:58.239
into it, I'll just say, it's gonna... This show

00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.900
has taught me a lot of life lessons, and that's

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:06.980
what we're going to talk about today. And so,

00:02:07.099 --> 00:02:15.460
sit back, relax, and enjoy. So, for those of

00:02:15.460 --> 00:02:17.680
you who don't know what Avatar The Last Airbender

00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:25.319
is, it's a Nickelodeon show that aired 2005 to

00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.659
2008. I could be wrong about the dates. It feels

00:02:29.659 --> 00:02:35.419
like it's been a lifetime ago. It's about this

00:02:35.419 --> 00:02:40.159
young Avatar who has to master all the four elements

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.280
before the Fire Lord takes over the whole world.

00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.360
I'm not going to do any spoilers because I absolutely

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:57.000
hate spoilers. And it ruins everything. If you're

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.819
curious about the show and you want to watch

00:02:58.819 --> 00:03:01.479
it, it's currently on the Netflix right now.

00:03:01.659 --> 00:03:04.620
And for those who follow me on social media,

00:03:04.860 --> 00:03:08.900
you have probably seen that I've been re -watching

00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:13.120
it for probably the 100th time. And like I said,

00:03:13.219 --> 00:03:20.659
it's an entertaining show. It's an entertaining

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:24.139
show because the characters are lovable and relatable.

00:03:25.740 --> 00:03:28.939
It's filled with adventure, action, and drama.

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:35.280
And it does cover some real problems around,

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:43.500
like, it does discuss some real problems, like,

00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:50.300
as, like, political figures in it, like kings

00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:58.629
and fire and law. and fire lords and, um, princesses

00:03:58.629 --> 00:04:05.830
and, uh, princes, uh, princes and prince. Yeah,

00:04:05.909 --> 00:04:09.409
whatever. And, uh, and it also deals with warfare

00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:15.669
and genocide. Um, but, but it doesn't talk, the

00:04:15.669 --> 00:04:19.680
show doesn't talk at you, like. like we're like

00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.300
you're the root cause of this or that uh it just

00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:26.680
takes you on an adventure and some people might

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.600
think it's a kid show because it's animated but

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.040
it's truly not because it deals with all these

00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:39.040
uh issues uh but it doesn't talk at you like

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.569
some of those shows do that just kind of just

00:04:44.569 --> 00:04:47.029
say oh you're the root cause of this and you

00:04:47.029 --> 00:04:50.629
were the root cause of that we gotta we gotta

00:04:50.629 --> 00:04:57.730
do we gotta fix ourselves or whatnot and so it's

00:04:57.730 --> 00:05:02.610
not like too big it's not yeah like i said it

00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:05.589
doesn't talk at you it talks kind of with you

00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:12.660
but i'm gonna take a twist on uh on all of this,

00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.439
and I'm going to put a positive spin on it because

00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:19.879
some people just don't like when shows just talk

00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:25.319
at you. And to be honest, I kind of disagree

00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:30.480
with the show, with some of those articles out

00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.740
there that says that this show talks about political

00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:39.160
warfare and genocide. Maybe to an extent, but

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:42.279
I feel like it's kind of a reach, just to be

00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:49.920
honest. Like a really, really big reach. But

00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.779
the characters in the show has taught me quite

00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:57.459
a bit of life lessons. So the first character

00:05:57.459 --> 00:06:01.319
I want to talk about is the Avatar himself. His

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:09.430
name is Aang. There are so many ads these days

00:06:09.430 --> 00:06:12.290
wherever you go. There are ads in movie theaters,

00:06:12.509 --> 00:06:16.410
on TV, on radio, and on billboards. So why would

today to create your own podcast. I'm not going

00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:57.660
to destroy the story, but he's 12 years old,

00:07:57.660 --> 00:08:06.160
and he always knows when to have fun, and he's

00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:12.899
always happy to help people, no matter where

00:08:12.899 --> 00:08:14.899
that person came from, whether it's the Earth

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:24.100
Kingdom, Fire Nation, or the Water Tribe. He's

00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:29.600
willing to help anybody, even animals. And he

00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:35.320
knows when to meditate, to relax, to take his

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.799
mind off of things. Don't forget, he has to save

00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:42.059
the whole goddamn world, and everything is weighing

00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:47.539
on his shoulders. And that's a big task. No pressure,

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:55.429
don't screw up or anything. Yeah, screw up. It's

00:08:55.429 --> 00:08:59.590
not going to end well for anybody, so no pressure

00:08:59.590 --> 00:09:08.169
or anything. And he knows how to keep his friends

00:09:08.169 --> 00:09:15.629
close. Even if his friends are fighting amongst

00:09:15.629 --> 00:09:19.529
each other, he always knows how to keep the peace.

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:25.100
He's always ready to have a quick laugh when

00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:33.620
the time, even in tough circumstances. And he's

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:41.399
always sticking up to bullies. Like, what's a

00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:45.500
good example of this? One of the episodes, he

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:51.019
sticks up to Jet. who's a freedom fighter, and

00:09:51.019 --> 00:09:54.500
he takes things too far. I'm not going to spoil

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:59.220
any episodes, but that's basically who Jet is.

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:04.039
He's another... I like to call those people hotheads.

00:10:05.259 --> 00:10:10.779
He is a hothead. I think he's one of the most

00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:12.679
annoying characters in the series, to be honest.

00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:20.029
Oh, that and the... The guy who says, my cabbages!

00:10:21.750 --> 00:10:27.690
I can't stop cracking up when I hear that line.

00:10:28.090 --> 00:10:31.870
Too bad that guy only shows up in like four episodes,

00:10:31.970 --> 00:10:35.610
but he's actually on this list at the moment.

00:10:37.049 --> 00:10:40.129
So the next character I want to talk about, Katara.

00:10:40.350 --> 00:10:43.330
She always lends a helping hand, no matter who

00:10:43.330 --> 00:10:45.950
needs it. Yeah, it kind of sounds similar to

00:10:45.950 --> 00:10:49.690
the Avatar. uh, doesn't let dumb rules get in

00:10:49.690 --> 00:10:55.809
her way. Well, one of the, um, uh, not to spoil

00:10:55.809 --> 00:11:00.870
it too much, uh, uh, she stood, uh, up to the

00:11:00.870 --> 00:11:05.450
waterbending master in the North Pole, uh, won't

00:11:05.450 --> 00:11:09.590
teach her because they're accustomed, uh, only,

00:11:09.649 --> 00:11:14.029
uh, only the male fighters, yeah, only the males

00:11:14.029 --> 00:11:19.220
can, uh, learn waterbending and not women. And

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:23.940
she has to become a healer. Well, if anybody's

00:11:23.940 --> 00:11:26.200
seen the episode, you know exactly what happened.

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:31.700
I'm not going to spoil it. But let's just tell

00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:36.700
you. I'll give you a little sneak peek. All I'm

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:40.940
going to say is she basically stood her ground

00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:47.340
and she doesn't take no for an answer. And she

00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:52.419
always remains positive, even through very, very,

00:11:52.419 --> 00:11:55.039
very, very, very hard times. I can give you an

00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:02.600
example. In the second part of the, when the

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.840
whole game was in the desert, with that secret

00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:10.460
hidden library, or the ancient secret library,

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:19.320
They, uh, like, something bad happened to one

00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:29.399
of the, uh, uh, uh, uh, one of the, uh, animals

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:34.379
that Aang has, and I'm not gonna say who, uh,

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:40.759
or what, uh, and, uh, and they had to get themselves

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:46.779
out of the desert, and Some people might have

00:12:46.779 --> 00:12:52.500
given up. And it's like, oh, well, there's no

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:58.279
easy way to get out of the desert. And some might

00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:04.720
just say, we're doomed. But I could tell her,

00:13:04.779 --> 00:13:08.200
I said, no, we're getting out of this together.

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:15.519
She's always had a positive mindset on how to

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:21.580
get out of sticky situations. Man, I could use

00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:33.559
that right now. Next person, Saka. He's very

00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:38.899
simple. He's full of sarcasm. But one of his

00:13:38.899 --> 00:13:42.889
biggest traits, life lessons he taught me is

00:13:42.889 --> 00:13:48.769
always have a plan. I basically have a huge plan

00:13:48.769 --> 00:13:57.809
for my website, my podcast, my newsletter, my

00:13:57.809 --> 00:14:02.929
shop, and everything. And if that doesn't work

00:14:02.929 --> 00:14:09.289
out, I have multiple other plans in place. So

00:14:09.289 --> 00:14:14.450
he taught me on how I should always have a plan

00:14:14.450 --> 00:14:20.710
but be prepared for something to change in an

00:14:20.710 --> 00:14:24.210
instant. And sometimes I do well with this and

00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:29.509
sometimes I do not do well with this. It's more

00:14:29.509 --> 00:14:32.690
sometimes it leans towards not doing well with

00:14:32.690 --> 00:14:37.830
this. I have to admit that. The next person.

00:14:39.149 --> 00:14:45.990
on my list, that I've learned some life lessons

00:14:45.990 --> 00:14:50.909
from, is Zuko. No matter what you have done in

00:14:50.909 --> 00:14:56.649
the past, when you're younger, there's always

00:14:56.649 --> 00:15:02.929
a way you can redeem yourself. And I'm not going

00:15:02.929 --> 00:15:11.149
to use the file or its son. He, uh, and he's

00:15:11.149 --> 00:15:15.269
set on a journey to, uh, capture the Avatar.

00:15:16.149 --> 00:15:21.409
And he never, uh, which is kind of an impossible

00:15:21.409 --> 00:15:26.610
task because, uh, the Avatar, uh, disappeared

00:15:26.610 --> 00:15:30.190
a hundred years ago and no one's seen him since

00:15:30.190 --> 00:15:35.309
until Aang showed up. But, uh, I'm not gonna,

00:15:35.490 --> 00:15:41.919
again, no spoilers, but. But there's always a

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.720
way to redeem yourself, even if you have done

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:49.820
something wrong when you were a kid, which I

00:15:49.820 --> 00:15:55.919
unfortunately have. But going forward and doing

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.940
these podcasts and blogging and trying to help

00:15:59.940 --> 00:16:08.019
people is my redemption. He also taught me Don't

00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:10.139
always think that everything needs to be done

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:15.159
yourself, which is true because, well, actually

00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.700
he doesn't, let me, I'm going to change that.

00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.620
He didn't teach me that. His uncle did, and I'll

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:28.610
get to him in a second. And he also taught me

00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:31.789
to listen to others. Zuko's always jumping to

00:16:31.789 --> 00:16:35.389
conclusions, and he's not listening to other

00:16:35.389 --> 00:16:40.450
people and doing what he's told. He kind of speaks

00:16:40.450 --> 00:16:46.230
out of turns, and he always, yeah, he's always,

00:16:46.309 --> 00:16:50.710
he has a hard time listening to adults around

00:16:50.710 --> 00:16:55.929
him, and he just wants the best for him. I think

00:16:55.929 --> 00:16:59.830
we can all agree on that, or relate to that at

00:16:59.830 --> 00:17:07.529
least. Then there's Uncle Iroh. He used to be

00:17:07.529 --> 00:17:12.410
a general in the Fire Nation. And I'm not going

00:17:12.410 --> 00:17:15.430
to get to his whole backstory, because there

00:17:15.430 --> 00:17:23.369
was an episode on... Yeah, you hear about his

00:17:23.369 --> 00:17:31.509
backstory. in the show so no need for to go through

00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:40.990
all that. And so his life lessons that he taught

00:17:40.990 --> 00:17:48.369
me was always seek good in people and don't always

00:17:48.369 --> 00:17:50.589
think somebody's going to do something wrong

00:17:50.589 --> 00:17:58.779
to you or Or kind of like ruin your reputation

00:17:58.779 --> 00:18:03.180
or whatever it is. Always see good in people.

00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:07.299
He's always willing to give advice to people

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:15.880
that he just met. He also told me have a go with

00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.980
the flow kind of attitude. I'll give you an example

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:28.759
of this. He goes, Um, every time when, uh, like,

00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:34.900
Zuko, uh, uh, when he, when, uh, Iroh misplaces

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:39.839
something or, uh, he kind of redirects the, uh,

00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:44.819
his ship or the ship that they're on in the first

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:50.859
season, uh, to, uh, to, uh, different merchants,

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:58.730
um, different merchants, uh, uh, just to find

00:18:58.730 --> 00:19:05.390
a pie shirt, uh, chip. And, uh, and Zuko gets

00:19:05.390 --> 00:19:11.309
all annoyed and everything. And, uh, and Iroh

00:19:11.309 --> 00:19:15.049
said, I'm glad I have an understanding nephew.

00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:19.650
And he, and while Zuko's blowing steam out of

00:19:19.650 --> 00:19:24.539
his nose and breath and everything, Like I said,

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:28.779
Zuko's very hot -headed and everything. And he's...

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:35.420
And he hates... He kind of hates just going with

00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:41.140
the flow of everything. It just... So Iroh just

00:19:41.140 --> 00:19:44.799
has to go with the flow. We're all just going

00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:49.579
to do this real quick. And then when Iroh didn't

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:52.990
even have the... When he couldn't find the pie

00:19:52.990 --> 00:19:58.529
show chip that he was looking for, he said to

00:19:58.529 --> 00:20:01.869
Zuko, and Zuko said, I'm glad this whole trip

00:20:01.869 --> 00:20:06.869
was a waste of time. And Iro said, no, it's quite

00:20:06.869 --> 00:20:09.269
the opposite. I found stuff that I didn't even

00:20:09.269 --> 00:20:15.069
know that I needed on the ship. And he found

00:20:15.069 --> 00:20:29.509
some kind of sugi horn. and a crazy statue with

00:20:29.509 --> 00:20:33.950
gems in it. So, yeah, he's always gone with the

00:20:33.950 --> 00:20:36.730
flow. I'm not going to tell you the ending of

00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:43.109
the episode. I always believe people can change

00:20:43.109 --> 00:20:53.130
no matter what. of what happened years ago like

00:20:53.130 --> 00:20:57.089
he changed he used to be a general now he's retired

00:20:57.089 --> 00:21:03.390
and now he's just in a I don't care mood of what

00:21:03.390 --> 00:21:08.869
happens and he's always filled with positive

00:21:08.869 --> 00:21:13.170
positive wisdom he always has something positive

00:21:13.170 --> 00:21:18.789
to say and he's truly like a role model that

00:21:18.789 --> 00:21:25.589
we could all follow in these tough times. The

00:21:25.589 --> 00:21:31.910
next person is really not much to tell. Well,

00:21:32.009 --> 00:21:38.410
I shouldn't say that, but you don't get to meet

00:21:38.410 --> 00:21:41.710
her until the second season and know more about

00:21:41.710 --> 00:21:44.650
her throughout the second season and third season.

00:21:45.609 --> 00:21:49.420
Princess Azula. That's taught me a few life lessons.

00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.099
Don't be a know -it -all. No one likes being

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:55.640
a know -it -all. I'll give you an example of

00:21:55.640 --> 00:22:06.039
this one. One of her captains on the ship said

00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.839
that the tides won't let them in the port to

00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.099
dock and everything. And she's like, I don't

00:22:14.099 --> 00:22:17.589
know much about the tides, but... But I was like,

00:22:17.670 --> 00:22:24.630
but who rules the ship? And the captain said,

00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:27.230
like, you do. And I was like, and if the tides,

00:22:27.230 --> 00:22:32.309
where the tides sink you, I think something I

00:22:32.309 --> 00:22:34.930
learned that if she threw him overboard where

00:22:34.930 --> 00:22:42.769
the tides, I think twice of throwing him into

00:22:42.769 --> 00:22:48.779
the rocks or something. And he said no. And yeah,

00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:53.799
she thinks that she knows pretty much everything.

00:22:54.160 --> 00:23:01.720
And yeah, she thinks that sometimes the tides

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:08.160
won't let you come into the dock. But she went

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.059
and said no for an answer. And she kind of doesn't

00:23:12.059 --> 00:23:18.710
know it all. She won't accept anything less.

00:23:22.069 --> 00:23:26.609
And her character also taught me that karma will

00:23:26.609 --> 00:23:35.670
bite you in the butt. Here's an example. Actually,

00:23:35.789 --> 00:23:37.769
I'm not going to do this example, because if

00:23:37.769 --> 00:23:40.910
I do, it's going to pretty much ruin all the

00:23:40.910 --> 00:23:43.809
second and third season. Actually, pretty much

00:23:43.809 --> 00:23:46.150
we're in the third season, so I'm not going to

00:23:46.150 --> 00:23:53.369
do it. And her character also taught me don't

00:23:53.369 --> 00:23:58.829
manipulate others. And if you've ever seen the

00:23:58.829 --> 00:24:01.390
show or want to see the show, you'll see how

00:24:01.390 --> 00:24:10.390
she manipulates a lot of people. And another

00:24:10.390 --> 00:24:14.849
character, I want to mention that there's really

00:24:14.849 --> 00:24:18.170
not much to talk about with this person, but

00:24:18.170 --> 00:24:22.069
her name's Ty Lee in the show. She knows that

00:24:22.069 --> 00:24:24.730
she wants something different in life than what

00:24:24.730 --> 00:24:33.089
others want. I'm not going to say anything extra

00:24:33.089 --> 00:24:40.190
on this one because, again, it kind of... kind

00:24:40.190 --> 00:24:45.509
of... Yeah, I'm not going to say it. No, I'll

00:24:45.509 --> 00:24:49.869
just be ruining it. The next character I want

00:24:49.869 --> 00:24:53.910
to talk about is Mei. Even though you don't really

00:24:53.910 --> 00:24:59.309
get to see any of the Princess Azula or Ty Lee

00:24:59.309 --> 00:25:05.089
or Mei until the second or third season, Mei

00:25:05.089 --> 00:25:07.390
taught me that no one wants to be around people

00:25:07.390 --> 00:25:11.069
who are always negative. She has the most bleakest...

00:25:13.019 --> 00:25:15.680
She just filled with negative on everything.

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:21.240
She has no emotion in her voice. She's like literally...

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:28.000
Yeah, she has no personality. She kind of has

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.279
a personality of a brick wall. Yawn, boring,

00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:35.220
and everything. Who wants to listen to that?

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.140
Every time I listen to her voice in the show,

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:40.980
it's like, oh, can we get to the next scene already?

00:25:44.589 --> 00:25:52.509
And, like, I just went over, uh, uh, the cabbage

00:25:52.509 --> 00:25:58.029
seller, who says, my cabbages! Every time when

00:25:58.029 --> 00:26:03.309
Aang and the gang, uh, go see a new town, that

00:26:03.309 --> 00:26:07.190
guy always seems to have a stall setting up a

00:26:07.190 --> 00:26:10.589
new stall somewhere, and yet his stall keeps

00:26:10.589 --> 00:26:16.160
breaking every single time. You kind of feel

00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:21.500
bad for him because he has really, really, really

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:27.859
bad luck. Oh, my goodness. I think it was like

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:30.839
either four or five times his cavern stall broke.

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:40.259
And I think he kind of gave up. But after the

00:26:40.259 --> 00:26:45.700
first two times, or first few times anyway, He

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:50.339
was really persistent and keeps trying different

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:53.740
things. But I think eventually he gives up. I

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:58.920
think in the comic books he finally rebuilds

00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:02.039
again. But I didn't read the comic books yet,

00:27:02.099 --> 00:27:04.900
which I'm hoping I can get to them this summer.

00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.880
I'm looking forward to it. The next character.

00:27:12.990 --> 00:27:17.869
It's Firelord or Zai who's the biggest enemy

00:27:17.869 --> 00:27:24.029
in the show who Aang needs to fight. No spoilers,

00:27:24.309 --> 00:27:33.269
promise. He taught me don't be too hard on your

00:27:33.269 --> 00:27:38.430
kids if you have kids because they will hate

00:27:38.430 --> 00:27:42.819
you later on. No one should have so much power,

00:27:43.019 --> 00:27:48.740
and he does. He wants to start expanding Fire

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:52.759
Nation colonies across the map and ruling the

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.559
whole world, so no one should be able to do that.

00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:08.279
And he doesn't take no for an answer. Okay, I'm

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.210
going to warn you. Here's a little spoiler, and

00:28:11.210 --> 00:28:19.470
I'm sorry, but it can't be helped. He asked the

00:28:19.470 --> 00:28:25.750
Fire Lord before him to cut Iroh out of the next

00:28:25.750 --> 00:28:36.900
Fire Lord in line to be Fire Lord. The previous

00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:39.200
fire lord said, and I was like, you expect me

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:45.759
to say no to my first son? I mean, it would be

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:53.759
fire lord. And he said, and Ozai said, Ozai,

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:59.460
yes. And the previous fire lord said, no. Well,

00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:05.470
Ozai didn't like it. he had that Fire Lord killed

00:29:05.470 --> 00:29:12.930
and so in his steps and following his steps Ivor

00:29:12.930 --> 00:29:18.890
didn't get the Fire Lord position Ozai did and

00:29:18.890 --> 00:29:22.029
that's why and he doesn't take no for an answer

00:29:22.029 --> 00:29:26.329
and he doesn't like no for an answer and so it

00:29:26.329 --> 00:29:31.140
was so he took the throne and I Now Aang needs

00:29:31.140 --> 00:29:42.700
to stop him and dethrone him. Zhao. He used to

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:46.059
be Commander Zhao in the first season. Then he

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:54.119
got to Admiral. Not really. But he taught me

00:29:54.119 --> 00:30:00.880
to not be too full of yourself. I'll give you

00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.940
an example. He's always thinking highly of himself.

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:07.759
They're going to call me Zhao the Conqueror,

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:16.380
Zhao the Ruler. And he's always talking so highly

00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:19.140
of himself. And it's like, oh yeah, this guy

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:22.660
is totally full of himself. And it's like, oh,

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:26.859
people are going to look up to me. And it's like,

00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:38.400
yeah, I'm sure. And he also taught me don't always

00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:42.660
want something, don't always want something,

00:30:42.740 --> 00:30:47.740
don't always look for, and I'm trying to rephrase

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:52.119
this, he always wants something that he doesn't

00:30:52.119 --> 00:31:01.299
have. So basically, One could assume, say that

00:31:01.299 --> 00:31:05.079
always be grateful with what you have and not

00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:13.680
what you don't have. And, yeah, because life's

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:20.440
too short. And, yeah, Zhao, he's one of the most

00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:24.000
annoying characters. I don't know. Did I find

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:27.160
Prince's... Do I find Mei or Zhao the most annoying

00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:33.839
character in the series? Maybe both. Yeah, so...

00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:39.480
Oh, and before I wrap this podcast episode up,

00:31:39.619 --> 00:31:46.460
I just wanted to have to mention this. It seems

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:53.599
like the original Avatar... directors or writers

00:31:53.599 --> 00:32:03.039
are making a Netflix show, either a show or a

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:07.539
movie, and it's going to be with live characters.

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.400
I mean, it's not going to be animated. And I

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:18.279
hope it... I'm really hoping it's going to be

00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.680
better than what M. Night Shyamalan has given

00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:28.019
us back in 2010, which was garbage. Sorry, M.

00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:34.519
Night. I can't... I personally can't... I personally

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:39.420
can't talk about Avatar and The Last Airbender

00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:45.160
without mentioning The Last Airbender by M. Night.

00:32:47.110 --> 00:32:50.950
Absolutely terrible movie. And if you want to...

00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:55.730
Yeah, I'll give you a spoiler of it. Have you

00:32:55.730 --> 00:33:00.910
ever seen all the Earthbenders in... Have you

00:33:00.910 --> 00:33:06.130
ever seen all the Earthbenders in... In the Avatar

00:33:06.130 --> 00:33:10.890
The Last Airbender? Nickelodeon show. They can

00:33:10.890 --> 00:33:14.119
move... Basically, it can move mountains and

00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:19.500
huge big boulders and rocks and mountains and

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:23.980
whatnot and bend metal. You know what Shyamalan

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:31.039
did? He has an earthbending scene with eight

00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:34.259
earthbenders and it looked like a dance scene.

00:33:38.179 --> 00:33:42.900
And just to bend one small pebble, it took eight

00:33:42.900 --> 00:33:49.380
earthbenders. That's terrible. Yeah, let's go

00:33:49.380 --> 00:33:51.359
dance our way to defy the Lord. That's a great

00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:58.220
idea. Yeah, great idea. Not. Anyway, I had to

00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:02.240
say that because you can't talk about one without

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:11.500
mentioning the other. And plus, it kind of hurt

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:16.119
me last year that the original creators were

00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.659
going to create a fourth season of Avatar The

00:34:19.659 --> 00:34:23.300
Last Airbender, but Shyamalan just had to get

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:26.860
in the way. Even though the director said he

00:34:26.860 --> 00:34:30.260
wasn't really in the way, but I kind of feel

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:37.239
like it was implied. But enough of that. But

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.940
those are the life lessons that this show has

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:44.039
taught me. And maybe there's even more. And maybe

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:47.659
there's other ones that, well, maybe there's

00:34:47.659 --> 00:34:49.860
other characters that maybe you can relate with.

00:34:54.099 --> 00:34:58.300
And let me know what you think of this episode

00:34:58.300 --> 00:35:04.239
on social media. I'm always thrilled. If you

00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:10.300
like Avatar, like myself, I'm always ready to

00:35:10.300 --> 00:35:13.139
talk about the show because it's amazing, great

00:35:13.139 --> 00:35:20.239
storytelling, and it helps you to go on an adventure

00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:22.960
when you can't really go anywhere because of

00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:27.800
the whole pandemic. And it's kind of nice. And

00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:33.809
it's an escape. Plus, I have all the DVDs on

00:35:33.809 --> 00:35:38.449
my bookshelf, but I still waited for it to come

00:35:38.449 --> 00:35:42.550
out back on Netflix. Call me lazy. I don't care.

00:35:43.590 --> 00:35:49.550
But I love the show. Anyway, I hope you like
