We already saw that the first one, 169 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: and I see this, Jack Carlow, no disrespect, Jack Carlow. 170 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: The only thing really interesting about Jack Carlow is that 171 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: he's white and cute. He not that good of a rapper. 172 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: He's not bad. He don't suck by any means, and 173 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: he certainly ain't that good of an actor. White and cute, 174 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: Historically speaking, that will get you far. I'm just white. 175 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: No one ever said, Mike rap, you're cute. Now. Of 176 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: course I have my days, but that wasn't my thing. 177 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: I didn't lean into my cuteness. I could have, should have. 178 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: But that's neither here nor there. Those days are behind me. 179 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm fifty three years old. I'm hanging on for dear life. 180 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: I was diagnosed with tennis elbow last week. I've never 181 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: played tennis. I haven't played tennis in twenty five years, 182 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: maybe thirty. Doctor said, you have tennis elbowl, Like, what 183 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: the fuck is going on here? Jack Carlow, don't have 184 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: tennis elbowl. He got dealing with stuff. Young's cute, good rapper, 185 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: not great, fair enough first performance. Listen to put a 186 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: person into a film who's never acted. To star in 187 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: a film, you better be super duper duper talented. You 188 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: know how hard, you know how disrespectful it is. You've 189 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: never acted before, and we're gonna give you a starring 190 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: role in a remake of an iconic film. This doesn't 191 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: fall on Jack Carlow, doesn't fall on Jack Carlow. It's 192 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: not good. It's not shit. It's just not good. I wait, 193 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: I did it to myself because I said I wasn't 194 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna watch it, But yet I did it because I 195 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: was curious. Because I enjoyed the first film. I also 196 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: had a, you know, a connection to the first film. 197 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: Who's probably the very first time that I auditioned for 198 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: a film, knowing I wasn't going to get the part, 199 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: but I had auditioned for that film White Men Can't Jump. 200 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: It was a big script at the time. Ron Shelton 201 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: was directing it, and before we were able to even 202 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: audition as actors, the great Vicky Thomas casting director, she 203 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: was the casting director at the time. We had to 204 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: go out and audition to see if we could even 205 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: play basketball, and everybody was there me. I remember Timothy Hutton, 206 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: I remember Wesley Snipes, I remember Matt Dillon. I believe 207 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: Canu Reeves. I think I was playing basketball with Cannon. 208 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: Everybody in Los Angeles was auditioning at those basketball auditions 209 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: before you could even get in there to read. And 210 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: then I got in to read because I was good enough. 211 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was good enough. That was easy. But 212 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: that audition process, I knew I wasn't gonna get the film, 213 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: But just going through that process gave me so much 214 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: confidence as an actor. And then the movie came out 215 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: as a pop culture huge hit. Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes, 216 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: Ron Shelton, the director, Rosie Perez. Anyway, White Man Can 217 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: Jump should have been left alone, and it wasn't. My 218 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: review is it two out of five balls? I give 219 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: White Men Can't Jump two out of five basketballs. Five 220 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: being the best five basketballs is the best review that 221 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: the Redo of White Men Can't Jump could have gotten, 222 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: But this one only gets two. I give it two 223 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: and a half basketballs. You want something that you could 224 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: watch the first fifteen minutes and not even pay attention to, 225 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: and then it could be like background noise, like oh yeah, 226 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: let's go. That's what. White Man Can't Jump was the 227 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: remake The Rede. Speaking of acting, auditioning show business, the 228 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: Screen Actors Guild sag AFTRA is about to vote to 229 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: authorize a strike. Doesn't mean, we're going on strike yet, 230 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: but the vote amongst SAG, after the upcoming vote that's 231 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: happening in the next couple of days, is to authorize 232 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: a strike because inevitably the actors, the directors, and the 233 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: writers need to go on strike. I've talked about this 234 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: a couple of times on the podcast, but it all 235 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: comes down to this money and AI. Essentially, there's details 236 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: in each guild that they're all fighting for. But I 237 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: could speak on behalf of the actors. Number one, need 238 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: to start treating all actors. And I'm not talking about 239 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: the Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Rappaports, if you will, 240 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: with the respect that we deserve in terms of the 241 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: business of it, the minutia of it. I don't want 242 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,719 Speaker 1: to go too deep down the rabbit hole because they go, oh, 243 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: you're complaining. I'm not talking about me. You know, there's 244 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: a lot of actors that you don't know. A lot 245 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: of actors are nameless. They make their living doing whatever 246 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: part they can get in whatever genre they can get, 247 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 1: and to get health insurance and so forth and so on. 248 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: You gotta fight, you got a audition, you gotta get lucky. 249 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: The moon, the sun. All needs to be aligned just 250 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: to get a just to get a job for a 251 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: lot of people. And if you don't get those jobs, 252 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: you don't get that health insurance. If you don't get 253 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: those jobs, you need to get a second job. But 254 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: there's stuff with the audition process. There's stuff with actors 255 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: getting the information that they deserve rightfully. And then of 256 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: course there's money. We the actors want more money. Again, 257 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: I ain't talking about Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds or Jason Momoa. Okay, 258 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: we want more money. We deserve more money. There's time 259 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: things and all that stuff. There's little intricacies that were 260 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: too boring to explain on the iron wrapper words stereo podcasts. 261 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: I don't try not to go down any rabbit hole. 262 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: Residual money, residual money from the streamers. I saw something 263 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: the ridiculously successful Netflix show Stranger Things just this week, 264 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: this week had more than seven point two billion minutes watched. 265 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: Seven point two billion minutes watched this week from Stranger Things. Now, 266 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how many episodes that is, but seven 267 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: point two billion b with a B minutes were watched 268 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: from Stranger Things. You know what, the writers, directors and 269 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: actors get from that success zero point zero. There ain't 270 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: no residuals with the streamers. None. And some dummies, uninformed 271 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: dingbats might go, well, what do you get paid up front? Well, 272 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: like I said, the top of the top will get 273 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: paid a lot upfront, especially for Stranger Things. The writer, 274 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: the creators of that, they'll get paid a lot because 275 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: they know the more Stranger Things come out, the better 276 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: it is for the streamer, in this case being Netflix. 277 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: But aside from the Little Girl eleven and the main 278 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: actors on that successful show, because their original contracts, you 279 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: don't get that. But let's say it was even more successful, 280 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: you don't get anything in success from the streamers. There's 281 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: no residual money. Seven point two billion minutes were watched 282 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: just of Stranger Things this week, and the actors get 283 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: jack bone, the directors get jack bone, the writers get 284 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: jack bone. That's why we're striking, you fucks. That's why 285 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: we're fucking striking. And this AI shit. These studios they 286 00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: refuse to outright say no, we're not gonna use AI 287 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: to write our scripts, We're not gonna use AI to 288 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: direct our shows. We're not gonna use AI to have 289 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: actors in our shows. You think that AI can create 290 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: something as magical as Marlon Brando. You think that AI 291 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: has the life experience, the training, the skill set to go. 292 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: I could have been a contender. Fuck. No, you think 293 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: that AI can figure out what Stanley Kubrick intricately figured 294 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: out in every single one of his films. No, you 295 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: think that AI could duplicate the movement of al Pacino's 296 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: eyes and you feel it, You feel his anxiety, you 297 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: feel his fear, you feel his panic. Noh, you think 298 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: that AI could recreate Robert de Niro, Denzel Washington, Jennifer Lawrence, 299 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: Jennifer Jason Lee. You think that AI has the capabilities 300 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to recreate somebody like Meryl Streep and Eddie Murphy. This 301 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: is what they want to do. So there's going to 302 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: be a strike with the actors, most likely come June thirtieth, 303 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: and like I said, it's gonna be ugly, it's gonna 304 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: be long. The writers are on strike, I think at 305 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 1: some point soon I don't know the date, the directors 306 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: are gonna go on strike, and the whole thing's gonna 307 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: shut down. And it ain't just gonna affect the late 308 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: night shows. It ain't gonna just affect your favorite shows 309 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. The business of show sprinkles out, 310 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: particularly in California, to the restaurants, to the coffee plays. 311 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: That whole city is ran around show business, the people 312 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 1: that have the trailers everything. It'll affect New York too, 313 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: but California in particular, Los Angeles in particular gonna it's 314 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: gonna be shut down, and we gotta do what we 315 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: gotta do to get the union back. You think that 316 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: AI could recreate somebody like Jack Nicholson, You think that 317 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: AAI could recreate somebody like Aretha Franklin. This is all 318 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: the ice cube, he said. Yo, anybody that tries to 319 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: AI me, I'm suing them. It's kind of cute, right 320 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,360 Speaker 1: like you're able to go. Let me hear the weekend 321 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: singing of Michael Jackson's song. It's on YouTube. It's kind 322 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: of cute where you go, Yo, Let me hear Biggie 323 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: and Tupac singing, you know, ball so hard and words 324 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: in Paris. Respectfully, it ain't cute. It ain't gonna be 325 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: cute when the producers start getting replaced because no disrespect directors, actors, writers. 326 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: We could do what the producers do. That's a fact. Directors, writers, actors. 327 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: We can do what the producers do, but the producers 328 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: can't do what we do.

Yo, Adam Silver, If I'm the Boston Celtic, 496 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: some of these dudes, you're just spending too much time 497 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: on your trip. But the Boston Celtics hopefully sweep I 498 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: might need to and if they don't get swept in Miami, 499 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: I might need to go up to Boston with that broom. 500 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,879 Speaker 1: Would I be putting my life on the line going 501 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: up to Boston with that broom for Game five? I 502 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: would love it, And I hope when you see this 503 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: message the Los Angeles Lakers have also got swept out too. Finally, 504 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: Mellow Carmelo Anthony has announced his retirement after nineteen years 505 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 1: in the NBA. Nineteen years Carmelo Anthony, who did a lot. 506 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony, nine time scoring champion, won the NCAA Championship 507 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: at Syracuse, was the MVP or Most Outstanding Player All 508 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: Star Games, three time Olympics, All Rookie Team, Top five, 509 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:21,959 Speaker 1: seventy fifth Anniversary Team, and the ninth leading scorer, which 510 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: is crazy in NBA history. Ninth leading scorer out of 511 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,800 Speaker 1: all the players that have played in the NBA. Carmelo Anthony, 512 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean, incredible career. Obviously never won a championship. You know, 513 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: I think the legacy of Carmelo grew as he was 514 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: sort of pushed out of the league talk about a bag, 515 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: an offensive bag, somebody who could score I mean jab step, 516 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: post up, off the dribble, off the I mean to 517 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: the basket, left hand, right hand. He had a true 518 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: blue bag. Never was able to really do anything. The 519 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, they had their run. Man, it seems like 520 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: so long ago, but they were going at it with 521 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: Kobe and the Lakers. He took the Knicks that one 522 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: year to the second round of the playoffs, which means 523 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 1: nothing but Carmelo anthony sick career, such a sick career. 524 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: But he's announced his retirement as he should. It sucks 525 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: that he had to retire in the offseason with an 526 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: Instagram video and not with one team that you know. 527 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't think Carmel the Knicks aren't going to retire 528 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: his number. Listen, this is no disrespect to Carmelo Anthony. 529 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 1: But if you don't retire Bernard King, you better not 530 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: retire Carmelo Anthony. Again, no disrespect to Carmelo Anthony. The 531 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, they're not going to retire his number. I 532 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,600 Speaker 1: don't think Carmelo Anthony will have his number retired in 533 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 1: the NBA. I believe his jersey has already retired at Syracuse, 534 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: as it should be, but he just didn't do significant 535 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: enough work with either the Nuggets or the Knicks to 536 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,840 Speaker 1: warrant getting his number retired. That being said, he's another 537 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: great who never won a championship, and that's fine. Not 538 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,919 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna win a championship. He tried, you know, towards 539 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: the end of his career to go to this team 540 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: and that team. At one point, I can't remember if 541 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: maybe it was the first year with his Lakers or 542 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: the second year with the Lakers. I thought he was 543 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 1: gonna go to the Lakers. He went there, in my opinion, 544 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 1: too late, needless, has said. Carmelo Anthony, ninth all time 545 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: leading scorer in NBA history, fantastic, fantastic career with a 546 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 1: true blue bag, has announced his retirement. And I'm also done. 547 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: Not retiring, of course, but i am done with this. 548 00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: I am Rappaport stereo podcast.
