00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Cold opening, rare cold opening of the im Rappaport Stereo podcast.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: I promise you the entire episode won't be oh like this.

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: But the Boston Celtics have won the NBA Championship. The

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics have won the NBA Championship.

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Am I mad? Yes? Don't be mad? Why not you mad? Bro?

6
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm mad, Bro, I'm all those things, all those things

7
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: and more. Although I will say it didn't hit me

8
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: the way previous Boston Celtic championships.

9
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: Hit me. Obviously, this is not the eighties.

10
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: And you don't have that built in year after year,

11
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Weirdo after Weirdo after Carr, after Cornbread, Maxwell, after Larry

12
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: Joe Byrd, after Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, kind of feeling.

13
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: You don't, you just don't.

14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I'll even say these Boston Celtics are a little bit.

15
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: Likable.

16
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to hate Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown,

17
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday, Al Horford and of course Tingus, fucking Pingus.

18
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm actually happy that Pingus won the championship. He said,

19
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: such a crazy career, but it is official. The Boston Celtics,

20
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: who bopped their way through the regular season with sixty

21
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: four wins, won the NBA Championship and they beat the

22
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: shit out of the Dallas Mavericks, and Dallas Mavericks are

23
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: really lucky they didn't get swept. The last eight minutes

24
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: of Game five of this championship will go down in

25
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: history as it was almost like an All Star game.

26
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: It was Luca and Kyrie just throwing up. It was

27
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: like they were playing two on five. I don't know

28
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: if they were trying to get their stats or they

29
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: were just exhausted.

30
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: And Jalen and.

31
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, they were like, one of us is winning MVP,

32
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: so let's just take turn shooting. I'm not taking anything

33
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: away from the championship. What am I gonna sit here

34
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: and celebrate the championship. It's not gonna happen. It's not

35
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen.

36
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

37
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: I do have Celtic derangement syndrome. I do have Boston

38
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Bruin derangement syndrome. I do have red sockugh, the fucking

39
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox, Boston Red Sox derangement syndrome, and of

40
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: course New England Patriot.

41
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is.

42
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is in all honesty, I like

43
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: the people of Boston. Whenever I go to Boston, I

44
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: like Boston. I like the people of Boston. I'm performing

45
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: in Boston. I'm excited about performing in Boston because the

46
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: people they got great sense of humor in Boston. I

47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: got friends from Boston.

48
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: I just.

49
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't fuck with the sports teams in any way,

50
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: shape or form. So I'm not happy. But it didn't

51
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: hit the way the old championships hit when they would

52
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: beat the seventy six ers, when they would beat the Knicks,

53
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: and then of course when they would beat the Lakers.

54
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Those were brutal. Those were brutal.

55
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: But the two thousand, twenty three slash twenty four NBA

56
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: season has come to an end.

57
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: My wife is ecstatic.

58
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: She's so fucking happy it's over. She's like, do we

59
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: have to watch another game? I say, yes, we have

60
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: to watch another game. I said, you know, throw some

61
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: juju on the Boston Celtics. That'll all be over. And

62
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if I didn't. You know, just imagine

63
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: what it would have been like if the Denver Nuggets

64
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: had beaten the Minnesota Timberwolves instead of folding at the

65
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: end of that series and if this would have been

66
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: better basketball, I think it would have been I think

67
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: it would have been better basketball, but they didn't. They didn't,

68
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: and the Celtics did. This is their eighteenth championship.

69
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Listen, this whole.

70
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: Idea of the Lakers having seventeen championships. Some of those

71
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: championship we're not in California. They were with the Minnesota

72
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: or the Minneapolis Lakers, so some of those don't even count.

73
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: And you know some of the Boston Celtics championships in

74
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: the sixties when they were winning a seven in a row,

75
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Come on, who are you playing against? No disrespect, no disrespect,

76
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: but who are you playing against? That being said, they're champions,

77
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: they did it. This is a rare cold opening. I

Speaker 1: will stretch, I will pivot, I will drink some coffee,

00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: a fucking task. I threw my fucking back out, so

158
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: we had to move everything, every single thing from this apartment.

159
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: And you know, it's a New York City apartment. It's

160
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: not like a ginormous apartment. There's things stuck in corners

161
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: stuck in drawers, stuck in boxes that they're stuck in closets.

162
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: You gotta get your bang for your buck, no diddy,

163
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: you gotta get your bang for your bunk, no ditty.

164
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: And the last time they came in here and painted,

165
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I had the painters. They moved everything, and then they

166
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: moved everything back.

167
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: I came back.

168
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: You motherfuckers didn't finish painting. There was like cracks and

169
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: holes and spots. So this time I said, I'm gonna

170
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: put well, we're gonna put everything in the middle of

171
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: the room, every single thing, into the middle of the

172
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: living room, into the middle of the dining room, into

173
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: the middle of the kitchen, into the middle of the

174
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: take everything out of the bathroom, in the middle of

175
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: the bedroom. So you have to paint this fucking place

176
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: once and for all. Take the blinds down. And we

177
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: did all of it. I'm standing on things, I'm pulling things,

178
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: I'm i got the wrench out, the pliers, the jack

179
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: saw the scissors, I'm cutting shit.

180
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: And they came in and they painted.

181
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: It, and it's beautiful, all right. They did a beautiful job.

182
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: They actually really did a beautiful job. But then you

183
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: gotta put everything back, the closet, the sneakers, the hats,

184
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: the couches, the pillows, the microphones, this golden mic socks,

185
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: t shirts, I mean every You gotta put it all back.

186
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: You gotta lay carpets back down. And I'm telling you,

187
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: I have so much respect for people that have hard working,

188
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: manual labor jobs because I'm telling you, we did it.

189
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: We did it in about two three hours. You know.

190
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: Of course I took some breaks, had to take a break.

191
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I said, we're gonna do the bedroom first. We're gonna

192
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: put the shades up so it's not hot, and then

193
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna put the bed in place and make the

194
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: fucking bed because I know I'm gonna need a break.

195
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna need a break to

196
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: take a nap. I don't know if I'm gonna need

197
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: a break, you know, like as a nursing station. But

198
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna need a break. But somehow, someway,

199
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: we got it done.

200
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: With no incidents. It was without incident.

201
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, I don't know what I did

202
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: to my back if I lifted something or something fell

203
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: on me, and I'm not aware it took a fucking

204
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: toll on me. You know, my wife, she's tough. Okay,

205
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: I talk tough. You know, I'm not good at moving shit. Printers,

Speaker 2: There's bottles of water, there's all sorts of shit. Anything.

210
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: It's all listen, you're underestimated. You underestimated. And then next

211
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: thing you know, you're putting you know, pictures back on

212
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: the wall. You're hammering mirrors, every fucking thing.

213
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: You know.

00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: You got waits. I got the waits in here. It

215
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: got all kind of shit in here. But it got done,

216
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: thank goodness. And because we were doing that over the weekend,

217
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: well we did that on Saturday. But it took the

218
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: fucking life out of me. I mean, it sucked the

219
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: fucking life right out of me. So I couldn't make

220
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: it to De Nirocon. They had the first ever Denirocon

221
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: at the Tribeca Film Festivals.

222
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: Three days, three days.

223
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Of all everything Robert de Niro, and you would think,

224
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you, Mike Rapp, you the raging bullshitter,

225
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: didn't make it to de Niro kan to see the

226
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: actual Raging Bull himself. No, I couldn't make it. I

227
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: couldn't make it. I was planning on going Sunday. There

228
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: was one thing. On Friday. They screened Jackie Brown, which

229
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite movies of all time, Jackie Brown,

230
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: which is still probably my favorite Quittin Tarantino film, and

231
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: such an underrated because it's such an understated.

232
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: Robert De Niro performance in Jackie Brown.

233
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: But I wanted to see Quentin Tarantino, because Quentin Tarantino

234
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: after the film had a conversation with Robert DeNiro, which

235
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: I would have loved to.

236
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: Have seen that.

237
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: And then you know, there was one conversation I think

238
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: they screwed. Yes, they screened Mean Streets and nas already

239
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: a conversation between Robert de Niro and Martin Scorsese, which

240
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: I didn't need to see that, no disrespect to Nastynas.

241
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: And there was all.

242
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: Sorts of you know, posters and clips and you know

243
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: lookalike contests and all sorts of shit. But I just

244
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't make it there. I was so banged up

245
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: after Sunday. I couldn't make it there. But apparently the

246
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: first ever, Robert de Niro De Niro Con Festival went

247
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: off without a hitch and people loved it, and there

248
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: was all sorts of experiences and you could, you know,

249
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: be in the room. They recreated the set where they

250
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: shot Taxi Driver. They you know, recreated Travis Pickle's room

251
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: and they not all kinds of fun stuff like that.

252
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: And I saw clips and that, posters and you know,

253
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: memorabilia and this that and the third and uh, you know,

254
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: I'll definitely make it to next year's Deniroconn. I do

255
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: want to see the conversation with De Niro and Quentin

256
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: Tarantino talking about Jackie Brown, because I really do love

257
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: that movie. I know they had Christopher walk in there

258
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: talking about The Deer Hunter.

259
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: I mean it was Deniroconn.

260
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: So it was for the the regular DeNiro fan and

261
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: for the deep diving psychopaths like myself. Although I didn't

262
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: get to make it, but I heard it was a

263
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: lot of fun. And like I said, I'll definitely make

264
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: it to the Denirocon twenty twenty five.

265
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: Hopefully there'll be another Denirocon. There should be.

266
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: There should be a Paccinocon. Holy shit, that's what there

267
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: should be next Paccinocon all things al Pacino fucked.

268
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: That would be fun.

269
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: I wonder how much paraphernalia and you know, actual stuff

270
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: they have from like all his movies, because that would

271
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: be sick too.

272
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: I mean, you're talking to me, you're talking to me,

273
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 3: but who the hell so you're talking talking to me? Well,

274
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: I'm the only one here. They're right, never went.

275
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: Down, never gotten me down? Yeah, but I never gotten down.

276
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 3: I grew up in a tough neighborhood, and we used

277
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: to say, you can get further with a kind word

278
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: and a gun than you can't with just a kind word.

279
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 4: And in that.

280
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 2: Neighborhood it might have been true.

281
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: And sometimes a reputation follows you.

282
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: There is violence in Chicago, of course, but.

283
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: Not by me and not by anybody I employ.

284
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: And I tell you why, because it's not good business.

285
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: People forgotten what life is all about. They've forgotten what

286
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: it is to be alive. They need to be reminded.

287
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: They need to be reminded about what they have and

288
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: what they can lose. You know, what I feel is

289
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: the joy of life, the.

290
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: Gift of life, the freedom of life, the wonderment of life.

291
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 3: Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not

292
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: willing to walk out on in thirty seconds flat, if

293
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 3: you feel the heat around a corner.

294
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: Before the podcast, what else happened? There was a whole

295
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: incident Jerry Seinfeld. I don't understand these dummies, the great

296
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld, the great Jerry Seinfeld. Nobody could say anything

297
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: but the great Jerry Seinfeld. Whether you're a Seinfeld fan

298
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: or not. No one's gonna say Seinfeld sucks. No one's

299
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna say the show Seinfeld sucks. No one's gonna say

300
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: that Seinfeldt's comedy sucks. You just can't say that. You

301
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: might go, well, you know, I prefer you know, this warner.

302
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: I prefer that warner. You know, obviously, you know I

303
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: respect Jerry Seinfeld, but you know he's not my favorite.

304
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: All that's fine, But no one's gonna say that Jerry

305
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: Seinfeld sucks. That that's just not gonna happen. But Jerry

306
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: Seinfeld got protested again. This time. He's performing in Australia.

307
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: And I know these tickets ain't cheap. I know these

308
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: fucking tickets ain't cheap. But based on the videotape, Jerry

309
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: Seinfeld was about you know, not even halfway through a show,

310
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: and these kooks, lunatics, unhinged freaks, they started heckling the

311
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Great Jerry Seinfeld, and the Great Jerry Seinfeld handled it

312
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: with all class, and it was all caught on videotape

313
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: with bad audio. But let's play some miles Jordana a k.

314
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: The Bleach Brothers aka the Dust Brothers, play the clip

315
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: of Jerry Seinfeld in Australia tearing up these hecklers, real

316
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: nice and real proper like.

317
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: Ladies.

318
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 4: Johnavan, He's it's the Jewish. They're gonna start punching you

319
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 4: in about three seconds, so I will try and get

320
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 4: all of your genius out.

321
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: And they evolved the learners from you.

322
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: You dummy, you dumb dumbs. You spent your money to

323
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: go heckle Jerry Seinfeld. Did you pay yourself to go

324
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: heckle Jerry Seinfeld? And do you think that you? First

325
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: of all, he's a comedian. He's one of the greatest

326
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: comedians of all time. He's got the microphone. You've got

327
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: nothing but dumb ideas in your head. You don't have

328
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: a megaphone. Okay, you don't even have one of those.

329
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: You know, karaoke mics. You got nothing, so you're gonna

330
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: lose whether you say the most brilliant things or not. Second,

331
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: all saying nonsense. Third of it's Jerry Seinfold. You literally

332
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: might as well go heckle the Easter Bunny or Santa

333
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Claus or mister Rogers. You fool, you dumb dumb And

334
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad Jerry tore him up, real nice and real proper.

335
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: But this is the time that we're in.

336
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: You harassed the great Jerry Simony's seven years old. It's

337
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld. Kramer. He brought you, Kramer, he brought you.

338
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Curb your enthusiasm. Okay, without the success of Seinfeld, there

339
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: is no curb your enthusiasm, You fucking dumb dumbs. You

340
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: leave Jerry alone, Leave Jerry alone, Leave Jerry alone.

341
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: That's my chant, fool you. Anyway, what else is going

342
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: on the WNBA, man, This supposed to be.

343
00:22:55,480 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: The WNBA's coming out party. This is supposed to be

344
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: the big year where everybody watches and learns and sees

345
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: how great the WNBA is and how great the WNBA

346
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: has been in women's sports and women's basketball, and YadA, YadA, YadA.

347
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: What a shit show?

348
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just a shit show if you

349
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: watch the games, but who is actually watching the games,

350
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: And if you're actually not watching the games, the conversation

351
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: around the WNBA is really bad. Okay, the NBA is it's,

352
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: you know, the party's parties coming to an end. You

353
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: know we're gonna have free agency, and there's always NBA

354
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: free agency, but really, you know, the party is coming

355
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: to an end. But the WNBA, it's trying its best

356
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: to ramp up and it just can't do it. The

357
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: covering of the league by the media, in my opinion,

358
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: is the real problem. But it's not just the coverage

359
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: by ESPN and w ESPN, which is you know, women's ESPN.

360
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: There's so many voices now, there's so many podcasts, there's

361
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 1: so many Instagram channels, there's so many opinions all over

362
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: the place. And you know, shit sells, whether you're throwing shit,

363
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 1: where you're taking shits, shit sells.

364
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 2: And there has been so much shit.

365
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: To discuss with the w nb A and to just say,

366
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: it's the opinions, and it's the Stephen A.

367
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: Smiths, and it's.

368
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: The you know, the Charles Barkley's and it's the Draymond

369
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: Greens and the podcast Peas and Myself and the BADA.

370
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 2: It's also the players.

371
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: The WNBA players, they act like they've never spoken to

372
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: the media before, like the conversation some of the way

373
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: the media clips are put out, like I don't know

374
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: if these people don't have iPhones, but the shit just

375
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: looks janky. The sound isn't good. You know, they're not

376
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: at the podium answering questions. This whole Caitlyn Clark, just

377
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: the insanity of Caitlyn Clark, her not making Team USA.

378
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: You know, so many's so and he's so many top

379
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: talking heads who were mentioned. Pat McAfee called her a

380
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: white bitch. Still has his job. Pat McAfee called her

381
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: a white bitch, and still has his job. I don't

382
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: care what the context was. There's just veteran players in

383
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: the league that seem like they're mad. It's just the

384
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: whole thing. Like I said, it seems like some nineteen

385
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: eighty four shit. There's veterans that are mad at rookies

386
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: because the rookies are getting more shine. But high tide

387
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: lifts all the shit. Trust me, you've heard me talk

388
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: about my low tide experience. High tide lifts all the ships.

389
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: And I don't care if you've been in the league

390
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: sixteen years. You know these WNBA chicks, some of them

391
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: are like thirty eight. You know, they've been pounding away

392
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: for fifteen, sixteen years playing for you know, the Missouri

393
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: Monarchs and whatever the fucking team is out in you know, wherever.

394
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: You know, the Indiana Fever. It's good now because Caitlin

395
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: Clark is there, but you imagine playing fourteen years for

396
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever. But obviously, the more people that know

397
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: about the games, the more people that know about the players,

398
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: will obviously help the league.

399
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: But this weekend again it's Angel Reese.

400
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: In Caitlin Clark, the Indiana Fever versus the Chicago Sky.

401
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: Did I mention that I'm performing in Chicago all tickets,

402
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: all information for all my shows, and I'm performing in Indiana.

403
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: I should invite Kitlin Clark and Angel Reese to to

404
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: my shows to be cause they're with Michael rapport coomedy

405
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: dot com. It drew a lot of attention again and

406
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark her squad beat Angel Reese and her team.

407
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: Never thought I would be having these discussions on the

408
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: Iron rapport. I actually actually said to somebody today to Bearis,

409
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, you fuck with the WNBA, and

410
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm having a conversation with the motherfucker making me coffee

411
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: about the WNBA, which I guess is good. I guess

412
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: that's you know, I guess that's good. But you know,

413
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: there was controversy. Kitlin Clark had twenty three points, nine rebounds,

414
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: eight assists. She became the first rookie since Aja Wilson

415
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: and Kandae Parker to put up those numbers. But no

416
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: matter what she does, all the other girls want to

417
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: talk about her negatively, and there's just a tone, and

418
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: there's just you know, it just seems like the real

419
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: Housewives of the Hardwood. It just doesn't seem classy. It

420
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like they like playing in the WNBA. They

421
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: just seem like they're angry about playing in the wa

422
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: They don't seem like they're having fun playing in the WNB.

423
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: And Caitlyn Clark, this is a twenty two year old girl.

424
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: This is a twenty two year old kid who's played

425
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: in fifteen games in her entire NBA excuse me, WNBA career,

426
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: and she's already the fastest player to hit two hundred points,

427
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: seventy five sists and seventy five rebounds. I think they

428
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: thought she was gonna go out there and be Michael

429
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: Jordan or some shit. But she's the fastest player to

430
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: hit two hundred points, seventy five assists, seventy five rebounds.

431
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: She had forty three pointers, which only three other players

432
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: have done as a rookie. Again, she's twenty two years old.

433
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: She's only one of two rookies to ever have five

434
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: games where she goes twenty five and five. She's the

435
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: real fucking deal. If you don't like her, you at

436
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: least got to respect her. You at least got to

437
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: appreciate her. I don't know why they don't like her

438
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: unless she's like a fucking raging bitch. She seems nice.

439
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: Nobody has said she's a raging bitch. If she's a

440
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: raging bitch, please stand up, Please stand up. And although

441
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: Angel Reese is just totally unlikable and you know, lost

442
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: that game the other day with some Bill Lane beer.

443
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: Shit, she's a good player. Also.

444
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: She's had seven consecutive games with double digit rebounds and

445
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: already has seven double doubles. Both these girls are pushing

446
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: this game forward. I don't know why they're not happy.

447
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everybody's not happy. And unless you've been

448
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: living under a rock, there was a flagrant fowl, flagrant foul,

449
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: Like I said, Angel Reese went full Dennis Rodman, full,

450
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Bill Lane Beer full Xavier McDaniel. She says she went

451
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: for the block. I think it was a dirty play.

452
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: Angel Rees knows she can't score like Caitlin Clark. She

453
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: needs some media training, okay or something. I mean, I

454
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: know she likes playing the villain, but just I don't know,

455
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: like smile, like, are you not having fun? I know

456
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: she's making money. Also, Katelin Clark isn't the only one

457
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: who's making money. They're all making money. These big name chicks,

458
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: they're making money. They just don't seem like they're having

459
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: a good time. And there's other fun players. That Camilla

460
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: Cardosa who plays with Angel Rey, she's good. The other

461
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: chick for the the mystics, the Washington Mystics I watched

462
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: her are Leah Edwards, Cameron Brink who's cool and her stepfather.

463
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,479
Speaker 1: Her godfather is Stephen Curry, and that Rakia Jackson who

464
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: both both of them play for the Sparks. These are

465
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: good players. But let's not get it twisted. There's twelve

466
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: teams in the WNBA. You know how many teams that

467
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: are in the Big Three. There's twelve teams in the

468
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: Big Three. There's twelve teams in the WNBA, and there's

469
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: the same amount of teams in the w NBA. So

470
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: these women, these ladies, these girls, these players, they're all

471
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: very familiar with one another. It's a small league with

472
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: a small schedule, and right now, the top of the

473
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: league or the New York Liberty.

474
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: I gotta go to a game.

475
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: The New York Liberty and the Connecticut Sun in the

476
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: east and the Minnesota Lynx in the west. The Las

477
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Vegas Aces have been the dynasty of the league, but

478
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: they've been struggling. They seem like they're just fucking mean

479
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: fuckers down there. They live in Vegas. I can't imagine

480
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: living in Vegas twenty four to seven, even if you're

481
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: off the strip, seems like hell. It's like one hundred

482
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: and twenty four degrees all year long. But listen, they say,

483
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: all press is good press, But we got a fit

484
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: ground away and the players and the coaches need to

485
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: figure out a way to seem seem like this is

486
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: a positive experience, because just the majority of what's coming

487
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: out of the WNBA it doesn't seem positive.

488
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: And this is not a money making machine.

489
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: You know that the WNBA loses about ten million dollars

490
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: a year. It loses ten million dollars a year. Now,

491
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: they're lucky they have this fucking league. But this year,

492
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: the projections is the WNBA is to lose fifty million

493
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: dollars a year. Fifty million dollars this year. I ain't

494
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: no expert on how to turn that negative into a positive,

495
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: but I can say, lighten up, ladies, and enjoy the

496
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: fact that you're professional basketball players. And it's just going

497
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: to be more and more women's basketball this summer with

498
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: the WNBA Olympics five on five. They got the Olympics

499
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: three on three, which is going to be dope and interesting.

500
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 1: You know, there's also a break dancing, which I don't know,

501
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: how do you. I guess they'll treat it like gymnastics.

502
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: But there's a ton of opportunity for the league to

503
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: grow and to set this league up for success, and

504
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: I want to see it happen. I want to see

505
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: it happen. And like I said, I am open girls,

506
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: I am open the Washington mystics. Okay, the Indiana fever.

507
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: You need a goon, I'll put Angel Reese in check.

508
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: You don't even have to let me off the bench.

509
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: I have me on the bench. I'll get me some.

510
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: Nice titties, a fat ass.

511
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: I have some fake eyelashes on, and I'll be fucking

512
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: ice grilling.

513
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: Angel Rees. None of that shit's gonna happen when I'm

514
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: on the bench. Anyway.

515
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: The NBA is fantastic, and hopefully the WNBA will get fantastic.

516
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: It is fantastic now, but it's it could be a

517
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: little bit better. It could be a little bit better

518
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: and a little bit lighter. Competitive is great. Competitive is great,

519
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: but it could be a little bit better and a

520
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: little bit lighter.

521
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:09,839
