I don't even 66 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: know where to start. Let me just start with the 67 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: Knicks first of all, let's just start with Steph Curry. 68 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: That little green eyed motherfucker, Steph Curry. God damn it, 69 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: fifty fucking points he dropped on the Sacramento Kings. What 70 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: can be said about this motherfucker? You know, as I 71 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: watched Steph Curry at this age, at this point in 72 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: his career, not that I imagine him retiring anytime soon. There's 73 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: times when I get sad thinking about rooting for the 74 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: NBA without Steph Curry. He has brought so much joy. 75 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: To the NBA. He plays with so much carefree, childlike joy. 76 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: And I don't know. 77 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: I mean, my wife said, I don't think you've ever 78 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: loved another NBA player as much as you've loved Steph Curry. 79 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 2: And that might be true. I think Steph. 80 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: Curry might be my all time favorite player to watch 81 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: as an adult. As a kid, it was different, man. 82 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: See now, As a kid, it was it was doctor 83 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: j and it was Magic Johnson, and it was Isaiah Thomas. 84 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean I loved watching other players too. I loved 85 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: watching Moses Malone. I particularly loved Bernard King when he 86 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: was with the Knicks. I loved watching World B Free 87 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: when he was with the Cleveland Cavaliers because I knew 88 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: World be free. I talked about this before. When I 89 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: went to Brownsville, Brooklyn for the very very first time 90 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: to play World B Free was in the fucking park 91 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: playing and he had just come out of that. He 92 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: was still in the NBA. Hey, I spoke to World 93 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: this weekend because World still works with the Philadelphia seventy 94 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: six ers. And I never forget that shit, former co 95 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: host of the Iron Rappaport. When I went out there 96 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: when I was twelve years old, World was in the 97 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: park playing, and we're not talking about some fancy park. 98 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: We're talking in the park and Howard projects. But Larry 99 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: Bird when he was in college Magic because I hated 100 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: Larry Bird when he got to the Celtics. That's been 101 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: documented in my book. This book has ball sports rants 102 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: from the NBA of talking trash, Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Joy. 103 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: Doctor j was not even joy that he gave me. 104 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: He was like a superhero. Doctor j was like some 105 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: other worldly. 106 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: Figure. 107 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: But Magic, Isaiah pure Joy King like you were just 108 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: like what the fuck? You never could get inside Bernard King. 109 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: So I loved watching him, but you never felt like 110 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: you were. And I met Bernard King once. He was 111 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: a fucking dick. I know Bernard King has suffered from 112 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: drunk and alcohol proms and he full transparency. When I 113 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: met him, he seemed like he was wet, seemed like 114 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: he had been drinking.

Steph Curry literally 134 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: seems like he's having more fun playing than the people 135 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: watching him, and the people watching him are having a 136 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: fantastic fucking time watching him. 137 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: But he's just pure joy, pure need I say magic. 138 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: So the Golden State Warriors are playing Lebron James and 139 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Lakers, and I'm happy I root it. 140 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: I'm on record, I rooted for the Lakers versus the Grizzlies. 141 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: They shut John Morant and Dylan Brooks down. And Dylan Brooks, 142 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: you are a bitch, ass hole. You played yourself, yo. 143 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: You have made yourself into a mockery.

I think the coach and 154 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: the general manager and the owner of the Memphis Grizzlies 155 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: after they started losing, we're probably like, get the fuck leave, leave, 156 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay the fine.

You motherfuckers 163 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: think that the NBA is AAU and John Morant your 164 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: season is a wash. But after it's all said and done, 165 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: after all the shotgun Willies and the gun on Instagram 166 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: and the Strip club and the whole thing that you did, 167 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: you come back. You had a great game. That one 168 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: game he scored like twenty three points in the fourth quarter. 169 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: Whatever you did. 170 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not taking anything away from me talent, but 171 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: to see John Moran giggling, laughing, yucking it up, whispering 172 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: and being whispered to after the game, Anthony Davis is 173 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: whispering in his ear. He's whispering in Anthony Davis's ear. 174 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: I had to think of my man, Isaiah Thomas, and 175 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: I was like, don't want you to just walk off 176 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: the court, man. And for those of you don't know 177 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: about what happens in the back room by the locker room, 178 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: because you think, oh, a mic rap, it's sportsmanship. 179 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 2: Oh, Mike rap, it's not that serious. Oh Mike crap. 180 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 2: They're millionaires. It's just the game. I like the. 181 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: Appearance that you guys care, not that Jah Moran and 182 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzlies don't care, but give me. That was 183 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: one thing about the eighties, the nineties up until Instagram. 184 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: Now we see everything by behind the curtain. I like 185 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: the idea that Danny Ainge hated Michael Jordan. When you 186 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: watch the Last Dance, you see that Michael Jordan and 187 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: Danny Ainge played golf before the game. When Michael Jordan 188 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: scored sixty three, but the fans didn't know that shit 189 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: until thirty years later. It gives us the feeling, the 190 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: idea that you know, they're competing at the highest level, 191 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 1: and all this friends and family whispering, yucking it up shit, It. 192 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: Takes away. 193 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: That idea that you guys will do anything to win 194 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: the fucking game. And Isaiah Thomas he did not like 195 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: when the Boston Celtics beat him, He did not like 196 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: when the Chicago Bulls beat him, and he's paying the 197 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: price to this day. Motherfuckers are still talking about that. 198 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: But I'd rather. 199 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: See some fucking feel like John Moran's on the bench 200 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: fixing his hair, laughing and smiling when there's five minutes 201 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: lamp when the season's over, and then you're out there 202 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: hugging it up, doing handshakes and. 203 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: Giggling and all that shit. 204 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: If you've never been near the locker rooms of the 205 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: NBA teams, I have. I have been backstage, let's call 206 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: it backstage after an NBA game, they're all back there. 207 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: Both locker rooms are right next to each other. They 208 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: could yuck it up, giggle. 209 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: Kiss each other, make out. 210 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: Rub each other's bruises and boo boos and all that 211 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: shit backstage. But as far as the fans give us 212 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: the impression that you give a fuck because you're gonna 213 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: see each other backstage, also by the locker rooms. 214 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 2: So is it all for show? 215 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: So when John Moran you go, we're not worried about 216 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: anybody in the West, is that all for show? What 217 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: can we believe or not believe anymore? In the NBA? 218 00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: It takes away that idea that these guys are really, really, 219 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: really giving it. 220 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: They're all anyway. I just don't like to see it. 221 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't like to see it because I've been back 222 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: there and I've seen them coexist, walking out of the 223 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: building together, talking to each other. So if John Murray, 224 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: you want to kiss and hug Anthony Davis after the 225 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: Lakers busted your ass, do it backstage by the locker rooms. 226 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: Don't do it in front of all the cameras. Give 227 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: them a pound, and get the fuck off the court. 228 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: You just got your asses kicked. Speaking of getting their 229 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: asses kicked, the knixt game one we lost. We lost 230 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: badly because we were up i don't know, twelve fifteen points. 231 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: We had control of the game, and then we lost 232 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: control of the game, and that game one lost that 233 00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: Sunday pouring rain on a Sunday, and me and my 234 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: wife we had drove back after my shows Saturday, two. 235 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: Hours in the pouring rain. 236 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons was because I wanted to 237 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: get a good night's sleep in my own bed to 238 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: watch Game one of the New York Nicks Verse the Miserable, 239 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: the fucking miserable Miami Heat. I wanted to be there 240 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: to experience it in front of the TV and the 241 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: comfort of my own home. Of course, I can't go 242 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: to the arena, I'm on the list. But watching the 243 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: Knicks lose to the Miami Heat and the way they lost, 244 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: playing so bad, and I know it's Game one, and 245 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: I believe that the Knicks are gonna still win the series. 246 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: I think now it's gonna go seven games. I had 247 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: the Knicks in six. Full transparency, I bet two hundred 248 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: and fifty dollars on the fucking game. 249 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: That's not a lot of money, but it still hurts. 250 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm betting on every game because I'm so emotionally involved. 251 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: This just adds a little sugar to it. And I 252 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: don't do it for the money. I do it for 253 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: the honey. Say it again. I don't do it for 254 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: the money. I do it for the honey. But putting 255 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: a little little brown sugar on it, it adds interest, 256 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: not that I need it, because watching the Miami Heat 257 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: and watching the Knicks lose the way they lost, playing 258 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: so badly, watching Kevin Love throw outlet passes in the 259 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: third quarter. There were three outlet passes for layups and 260 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: dunks in the third quarter. That's like basic third, fourth, 261 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: fifth grade basketball shit, get back on defense. Watching them 262 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: struggle to score a basket in the fourth quarter. The 263 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: whole day brought back bad memories of the nineties Knicks, 264 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of good memories, but we never 265 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: got over that fucking hump. We never got over that 266 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: fucking hump. And it started with Michael Jordan. It was 267 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. It was that snaggletooth funk Reggie Miller, and 268 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: it was the Miami Heat. And we beat them and 269 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: they beat us. But I was putting it all together. 270 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: My first son was born May second, two thousand, May second, 271 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: two thousand. When you have a kid, When you have 272 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: your first kid, sports goes in the back burner. Not 273 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: because you love your kids so much because you're sleep deprived. 274 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: You do not fucking sleep, especially that first, second, and 275 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: third year. You're all fucked up. You're dizzy from not 276 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: getting any sleep. So after I had my first. 277 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 2: Son, you know, football games, basketball games, you catch what 278 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: you can catch. 279 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: There's no longer staying up your Sunday's are my football. 280 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: NFL Sundays have never been the same, full transparency since 281 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: I had my first kid. 282 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: Of course, now with. 283 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: You know red zone and all that shit, it's different, 284 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: and fantasy football is different. But just sitting in front 285 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: of the TV and actually watching football on a sudden 286 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: it's I still haven't recuperated. It's just different. Same thing 287 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: with the NBA. But watching that game and sitting there 288 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: kind of like, fuck we lost. Watching the garden get 289 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: quiet towards the end of the game, it brought back 290 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of bad memories, a lot 291 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: of fucking bad memories, a lot of bad feelings, a 292 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: lot of resentment seeing Dwayne Wade sit there with his 293 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: fucking sunglasses on, sitting there watching Trevor Noah each show. 294 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: Was supposed to be a Knicks fan. After the game, 295 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: he's like yucking it up with Jimmy Butler. This is 296 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: why you motherfuckers shouldn't be there, you fake fucking nick fans. 297 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: Boo that motherfucker, Jimmy Butler, your courtside, boo his ass. 298 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: Boo Oh these motherfucker Gabe, Vincent, Kevin love no disrespect. 299 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: I love it. 300 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: But if I was there court saying, I'd be booing 301 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: these motherfuckers boo, motherfucker. The whole thing just left me 302 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: with a bad taste and bad feelings and bad memories 303 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: and memories of because when you're twenty twenty one, twenty two, 304 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: all the way to thirty, even when I had my 305 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: first kid, you're underdeveloped, especially as an actor, successful actor. 306 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: As soon as you start getting success, notarioan and fame, 307 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: you start developing as a person. Any any famous person 308 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 1: will tell you that. That's why these these people that 309 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: get ultra famous, they get all fucked up. Because we're 310 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: used to being catered to, we stop developing. So when 311 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: I was watching the Knicks play the Chicago Bulls, de 312 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat, even when I'm twenty nine, 313 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: I'm basically nineteen, I'm fucked up. So yesterday Game one 314 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: brought back those memories. My inner child was in turmoil. Okay, 315 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 1: Like I said, I know it's only game one. Like 316 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: I said, I know that the Knicks are gonna bounce back. 317 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: Like I said, I am still going with the Knicks 318 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: to win this series. Obviously, now it's gonna be in 319 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: seven games. It ain't gonna be in six games. But 320 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: I thought I expected, and the Knicks in the first half, eh, 321 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: up until about three minutes in the first half were 322 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: playing like they were gonna win that game and then 323 00:21:35,080 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: shit fell apart. Anyway, that was my weekend. Anyway, moving on, 324 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: here we are once again, twenty twenty three, New York City.

I cannot suggest 480 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: or urge you to watch this documentary called Dear Mama, 481 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: about Tupac and his mother of Fenni Shakur, who, like 482 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: I said, she it's been documented so much but she 483 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: was literally on trial with the Black Panthers and represented 484 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: herself and got herself off. I think it was like 485 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: three they were looking at three hundred something years. And 486 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: the way this documentary is showing the life and times 487 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: of Tupac, the life and times of his mother, and 488 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 1: how at a certain point, you know, their lives sort 489 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: of really just I mean, you know, he sort of 490 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: took on all the anger the frustration that his mother 491 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: took on as a black panther, And I didn't know 492 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: that much about her history.

I don't know 531 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: what the fuck Netflix was thinking about giving you guys 532 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: a deal. The fuck do you think that having Megan 533 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: Markele and Prince Harry's name on a project is going 534 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: to excite. 535 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 2: People to watch the project? 536 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: Like, oh, this film is produced by Megan Markle and 537 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: former Prince Harry. 538 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 2: That means nothing. 539 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: You could barely get people to watch regular shit. There's 540 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,800 Speaker 1: a new Joaquin Phoenix movie out I can't remember the 541 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: name of. It's supposed to be great. Nobody's going to 542 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 1: see it. It's apparently too fucking weird. Martin Scorsese saying 543 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: it's this, that and the third. It's fantastic. NOBODTI is 544 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: going to see it. That's Joaquin Phoenix. I believe it's 545 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: from that company A twenty four and Martin Scorsese, Uh, 546 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: just you know, did an interview with the director of 547 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: this new Joaquin Phoenix movie, nobody wants to go see it. 548 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: So if nobody wants to go see a Joaquin Phoenix 549 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: movie that's supposed to be great put out by that 550 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: company A twenty four that puts out all the dope shit, 551 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: including the new Netflix show Beef, and Martin Scorsese co 552 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: signed it, and no one wants to go see it. 553 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: Why the fuck would anybody want to watch something produced 554 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: by Harry Ballgame and Megan fucking Marco and yet Netflix 555 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: gave them some crazy fucking production deal. And this is why, 556 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons why the writers, the 557 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: Writers Guild of America, as of today, they're on strike. 558 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: The writers are on strike starting to day. 559 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: That means no. 560 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: Late night TV shows, no Saturday Night Live, not that 561 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: you watch them. That means no daily show. 562 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: That means none of it. 563 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 1: That means if shit ain't already in production and scripts 564 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: haven't already been handed in. 565 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:53,359 Speaker 2: To the guild, it's over all this streaming shit, the 566 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 2: wild wild West. 567 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: Like I said about ten years ago, you do a 568 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 1: show for a streamer, Actors, directors, writers who are like. 569 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 2: Oh, who knows, well, now we know. 570 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: Now we know that those streamers are a affable. 571 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the right word. 572 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:21,440 Speaker 1: They're a lucrative, possibly affable, an important place, maybe the 573 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 1: most important place to put out TV shows and films. 574 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: Yet the syndication deals are null and void. That's one 575 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: of the main reasons why there's a writer's strike. And 576 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: based on what I know, and it's not a lot, 577 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: but based on what I know, that fucking strike ain't 578 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: stopping any time soon. It was bound to happen. But 579 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something. In this business, show business, the 580 00:40:54,440 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: business of show there's tons of actors, tons all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, races. 581 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 1: There's great, great, great, great, great ones. There's really good ones, 582 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: there's mediocre ones and so forth and so on. But 583 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: there's tons of actors. There's a lot of directors. There's 584 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: the elite of the elite, there's great ones, there's good ones, 585 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: and then there's just ones that are suitable. And I 586 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 1: don't mean any disrespect to any of them. But the 587 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,280 Speaker 1: hardest thing to cheat and to come by is great writing. 588 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: You can't cheat that, you can't hype that, you can't 589 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: manipulate that. For something to be written and to be great. 590 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: That is a skill set that you just cannot There's 591 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 1: no shortcuts for that shit. And the writers are on 592 00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 1: strike now and the actors are going to go on 593 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: strike next, I believe if it's the end of June. 594 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck's gonna happen in this business, 595 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 1: but I know the Iron Rapports Stereo podcast. I can't stop, 596 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 1: won't stop, but this episode is done, This funking episode 597 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: is done.
