Michael 31 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: Rappaport actor, director, writer, comedian. We get into how we 32 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: met each other, but I'm gonna tell you for me, 33 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: for me, and he's also written some books. He's done 34 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: everything but for me. When I first started or became 35 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: aware of Michael Rappaport, obviously I remember him in higher 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: learning because he's a great actor. Um, and he's been 37 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: in He's had a few parts in movies where you're like, oh, 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: he's stand out, Like I appreciate him for being in that. 39 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: I remember him and Hitch that was that Will Smith movie. 40 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and five zebra Head in Some 41 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: of you may not know about that, but zebra Head 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: was was really I think for him. People realized and said, oh, 43 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: he has some acting chops. And I don't know how 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: much he was acting, but it's a really good film 45 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and if you haven't seen it, go and check it out. 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. We could talk about 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: all the things that he's done. Um, He to me 48 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: is very unapologetic. Before unapologetic was popular. He has always 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: said what he has felt there is in my brain 50 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. I asked him if he felt 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: like that was a privilege. He's a white man, and 52 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: is that a white male privilege that he has? And 53 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: he quite frankly gets into that with me. He doesn't 54 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: think it's a privilege. He can't see it that way 55 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: because that's just how he grew up. But it is us, 56 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: quite frankly is and we talk about the nuances of it. 57 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: I say all that to say is that I do 58 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: believe he is genuine in his in his thought process, 59 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: Like I do believe that he doesn't think it's a privilege. 60 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: I think he's like, look, I grew up in New 61 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: York and this is how we talk. We sit on 62 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: the stupid and we talk mad trash. That's what we do. 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Um if he was black, we wouldn't think that it 64 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: was a privilege. Would be like, God, he got a 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: big mouth, But there is a certain privilege that comes 66 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: with with being white and saying what you feel. But 67 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: he's but he disagrees, and that's fine. We can agree 68 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: to disagree. But what I want to talk about in 69 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: this podcast is some of the things that he talks about. 70 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: Quite frankly, he's known as talker, and we get into controversy. 71 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: We get into his issue with Kevin Durant and what 72 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: happened and how that all happened. I don't know if 73 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: you guys remember the story, but it culminated with Kevin 74 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: Durant apologizing if you will, to Michael Rapp Report and 75 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: others because the rant felt like it was homophobic. We'll 76 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: get into that. I mean, I'm just leaving that right there. 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: That's up for y'all to decide. Talks about some things 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: he said about Janet Jackson and the Super Bowl. He 79 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: gets into Kanye not not much, because we're not we're 80 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: not trying to give Kanye too much attention because grief 81 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: he gets over. He gets on my nerves. But the 82 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: point of the matter is he's a talker. Take it 83 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: or leave it, and I suggest that you take this 84 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: podcast in and you can leave it wherever you want 85 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: to with your own opinion. You're more than welcome to 86 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: fast forward past commercials as I tell you, but stay 87 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: locked in Michael Rapp Report and chet I'm excited about 88 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: today's podcast.

It's one thing to do stand up, which 169 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: is dope, and it's a very immediate response when you're 170 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: performing live in front of a you know, a group 171 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: of people. But when you're on live TV for somebody 172 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: like myself who you know, it's just never anything I 173 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: thought I would ever do, especially talking about sports or 174 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: anything like that, or or pop culture, like it's bugged 175 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: out because anything could happening. You can fool, you could 176 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: trip your curse, you could you know, anything can happened. 177 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: So it was just it's always a trip to me 178 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: when I do it, because it's like an extra dose 179 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: of adrenaline. I mean, like doing a podcast, I have adrenaline, 180 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: Like I get hyped up during a podcast and and 181 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: but when when you're a live live, live TV, it's 182 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: it's bugged out. Here's what's interesting, because you're an actor 183 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: and I have it's when we exchange worlds. If someone 184 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: says to me, like Robin Thd was like, come on, 185 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: you know the Black Ladies catch show. They sit around 186 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: all day and you guys take times and someone gives 187 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: you your lines and you do it again, you do 188 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: it from that angle, in this angle, and I'm like, 189 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: oh no, I just want to over with. I just 190 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: want to just spit it out and be done and 191 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: go home, because that's live television for me, like I'm 192 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: at my best. And that's also though we get you 193 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: in trouble with live TV. It's because you do sometimes 194 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: just say because it's live TV and it's gone, it's in, 195 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: it's in the ether, and you you can take it 196 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: or you can leave it. But what's going on? And 197 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about as of today with you.

And I get, I get the 232 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: the context what people say it, but it's to me, 233 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's it's not progressive, it's not it's 234 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: not a positive thing.

And I think people don't 248 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: allow that sometimes I've noticed recently, Um outside of acting, 249 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: we'll get to what you've been doing, because I think 250 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: you're an excellent actor, and like I said, you've been 251 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: in some classics, you know the folks. That's also too. 252 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: I think that's why the folks love you. But in 253 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: your world, your love of sports, how would you describe it? 254 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: Would you describe it as obsessive for your teams or 255 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: would you describe it as I'm just I am a 256 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: sports fanatic. Period. I literally grew up planning my life 257 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: and organizing my life around the idea of me being 258 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: an NBA player Like that. That's not like a It 259 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: wasn't a passing thing. It wasn't like a like oh, 260 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: for a couple of months, like from when I was 261 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: nine until I was eighteen years old, like that was 262 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do. That is how I organized 263 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: my life. Like everything came second to basketball, whether it 264 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: was Hebrew school, family, family trips, whatever, girlfriends. Uh. You know, 265 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: when I was a teenager, everything was basketball. And you know, 266 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: obviously you know, when I was about seventeen, sixteen seventeen, 267 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: I realized I wasn't going to become an NBA player. 268 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: But how heartbreaking was that? It wasn't heartbreaking at all. 269 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: It wasn't heartbreaking at all, because I didn't come close. 270 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 1: It would be heartbreaking if like you get you don't 271 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: get drafted or something like that. Like like it came 272 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: to it a you know, it was like I I knew, 273 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: but it wasn't anything heartbreaking. Sorry, aside from basketball, you know, 274 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm I'm you know, I grew up 275 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: playing sports, watching sports, um, being a fan of sports. 276 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: You know ABC, Why World of Sports. If it wasn't 277 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: things that I played, there was things that I watched. 278 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: You know Howard go Sell boxing and you know, my 279 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: father and my brother and this is what we did. 280 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: So I just I love sports and and I'm a 281 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: fan of the athletes and and and then the culture 282 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: and and and the the the whole the whole thing. Well, 283 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: I want to get some hot takes from you right now. 284 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: My first thing with you, honestly, and you talk about basketball. 285 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: I have to get some of your hot takes. So 286 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: I need you to tell me right now, in your opinion, 287 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: who is the best NBA player right now? I mean, 288 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: pound for pound, in your opinion if you have to 289 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: start with you have you got one player to pick? 290 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: Who is it? Well? Right now, you know, going into 291 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: as we're getting ready to start. It seems like an 292 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: underwhelming start of the season. But you gotta go with 293 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: Steph because of what he accomplished in the finals. You know, 294 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: Lebron is never that far behind, and until he's out 295 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: of the league, he's going to be a problem. The 296 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: honest is a problem. Joker is a problem. Joel Embiid 297 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: is great, Durant is great. I mean, those those are 298 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: the guys that I'm sure I'm forgetting. You know some people, 299 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: but those those guys are you know, the guys at 300 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: the start of the season. You know, it's the regular 301 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: cast of characters. You know, then you have the younger 302 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: guys coming along, the John Morantz and you know, the 303 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: trades and of all those players. Because I agree with you, 304 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: like all of those are the usual suspects. Is there 305 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: a player, uh in particular that you don't really slit 306 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: that you're like and we can you know, you're like, oh, 307 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: that's not my Like he's all he's two people are 308 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: hyping him up. He's not all that. That's a good question. 309 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: As far as hyping him up, I mean, I feel 310 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: like everybody gets there's so much you know, who like 311 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: is Zion a big disappointment. Yes, Zion is not a disappointment, 312 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: but you know, when he's playing, if he gets hurt 313 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: this year, and I you know, whether it's my favorite 314 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: player my least favorite player. I want all the players 315 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: on the court and healthy. I don't wish negative on 316 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: any player, but obviously Zion on. You know, you you 317 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: don't want to see him. You want to see him 318 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: play at least seventy games this year. Um, he has 319 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: to play because there's been so much expectations on him. 320 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: You know, I love the way he plays, I love 321 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: his disposition. He's a little bit of a mystery. I 322 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: can't really figure out what his real personality is. He's 323 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: obviously very trained, he's he's you know, he says all 324 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: the right things. I'm sure it sucks. Uh, you know, 325 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: he seems like sort of like he's coddled, you know, 326 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: like they hied him. He doesn't talk and all the stuff. 327 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: You want to see him play, but you know, well 328 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: we'll see what these guys really really come out, you know, Memphis. 329 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: We want to see what they do John morand how 330 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: how how he's gonna develop. Um, I know I'm forgetting. 331 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: You know, so many different players you want to see 332 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, uh Alonzo ball. You want to see uh, 333 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: you know his brother. You want to see the other 334 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: brother get into the league. I mean not like all 335 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: of it. I love all all the drama, all the 336 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: all the punching, the sucker punching, the Draymonds of Jordan Pools, 337 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: the Charles Barr were getting a hundred million. I love 338 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: all of it. Okay, So it's interesting that you say that, 339 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about this sucker punch. I mean, what did 340 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: you think of that? You're You're a female, and I'm 341 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: saying that because and the reason why I'm saying that 342 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: is because in general, that is more of a male 343 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: thing to punch somebody in the face. But you love sports, 344 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: you and you carry switch. I'm not saying that is 345 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 1: a disrespect. What is your take on the punch? It's 346 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: been a weaker. So now I said, let me tell 347 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: you honestly, when I saw it, I was like, God, 348 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: I heard about it first, so it wasn't that bad 349 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: when I heard about it. When they showed the video. 350 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: When they released the video, I was like, oh this 351 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: song this on look good, um and look good an understanding. 352 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: I was like, this doesn't look good, meaning like I've 353 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: seen people fighting practice before. I've covered teams where I 354 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: really I've seen people push and shove and get mad 355 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: at each other. I haven't seen anybody punch somebody, right, 356 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: but I've seen players like you know, listen in game. 357 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: When Dwyane Aid broke Kobe's nose during the All Star Game, 358 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: I was there, and they were mad. They might respect 359 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: each other, but that was foul, right, So tell me 360 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: you No, I wasn't there. I watched it on TV. 361 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't there in the house, but I was watching. 362 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: I was right under the basket and I said to 363 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: Duane Wade, I was like, yo, you foulon dudes during 364 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 1: an All Star game? You you herd foulon dudes and 365 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: the whole all of them right after when he was 366 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: shooting the free throws, Ah, Carmelo all and they looked 367 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: like because I was like, what is this, Like, I'm 368 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: surprised Kobe didn't fight him for that. That was a 369 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: bull I agree, And I don't think he meant to 370 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: break his nose. I think he meant to send a 371 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: message because he knows Kobe likes that. Right now that 372 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: you watch the redeem Team doc if you've seen it. 373 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: He knows Kobe moves like that. He knows Kobe is 374 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: that kind of dog. So they have this relationship that 375 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: we knew nothing about. So this is the first thing 376 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: that was like. And Kobe wasn't mad at him because 377 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: that's how Kobe moved Kobe the pal right like, so 378 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: he wasn't really. I don't think he meant to break 379 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: his nose. That justsult But I think this stuff with Draymond, 380 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: I think Draymond was fed up with with what he 381 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: thought and if I had to guess and interpret, he 382 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: was fed up with this kid who thought he was 383 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: more than what he was supposed to be. He was 384 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: getting all this shine and all this love and he 385 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: had just want to ring and he was like, little boy, fallback, 386 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: this is your first time in the bigs. Like I 387 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: felt like he was just trying to as a vet, 388 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: trying to put him in his place. But can I 389 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: say something, it's just so controversial. He shouldn't have punched 390 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: him if he really, if he was really acting away. 391 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: And I'm not advocating violence, but if you do feel 392 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: like you got to put hands on somebody, it's almost 393 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: okay to to slap somebody, you know, I know what 394 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: you mean. And and and the teammate. You don't punch 395 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: a teammate in the face, like with his hands down. 396 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: I don't care if they there's been discussion, is that 397 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: a sucker point? Yeah, that was some bullshit. That was 398 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: some bull ship. And and he's had ample chances to 399 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: punch Steven Adams, to punch Lebron James, to punch Kendrick Perkins, 400 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: to punch a lot of dudes on the court. And 401 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: he never punched anybody, but he punched little Jordan Poole, 402 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: who looks like l De Bars pulls Ears. If he 403 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: wasn't in light scan, do you think we feel sorry 404 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: for him, if it wasn't little with a with a 405 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: little R and B mustache. I don't think. I don't 406 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: think we feel sorry for him. But it's like, you know, punch. 407 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: You know, he's never punched Anybody's never touched anybody else 408 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Draymond Green on the court. But you punch your teammate, 409 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: your little teammate that looks like you know, he's you know, 410 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: in in a backup dancer for s w V. Come on, man, 411 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: well that was only well, hey, listen with that being said, okay, 412 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: So here's the equivalent for me. I would think you 413 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: knowing that you can get into it with people you 414 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: have I haven't seen you verbally shy away from anybody 415 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: you've had. You've exchanged words with the biggest and the best, 416 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: so you know what it's like to go after somebody. 417 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: So do you ever feel not even go after somebody? 418 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: But you, my friend, are controversial. Sometimes I've been quiet 419 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: in the streets for a hot minute. But you, You 420 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: and k D had a thing. You and some folks 421 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: over old school ESPN had a thing. Is that what 422 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: you try to do intentionally? Are you just like I'm 423 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: speaking my truth? This is who I am. You know, 424 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: I wish I knew how to contrive controversy. I truly don't, 425 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: you know, I just I just don't know how to 426 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: do it. You know a lot of times, you know, 427 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: I'll make grants about certain things, sports wise, political wise, 428 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, this is this is the best, 429 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: and no one will see it. And then sometimes I'll 430 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: do things and I'll just put it out there and 431 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: people will see it. So it's I wish I knew 432 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: how to contrive it. You know, I don't I if 433 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: I knew how to contrive it, I would I would, 434 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, manipulate it the system a little bit better. 435 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: You know. So you're saying to me that you don't 436 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: ever try to be like, oh, I'm gonna start some bullets, 437 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something and then it just goes God's 438 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: honest truth. Ever never nope, never. Um. At this point, 439 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: I know there's certain people like if you talk about politics, 440 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, I know that that that will get people going, 441 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: h but but or if you talk about Lebron, because 442 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: everybody has opinions about Lebron. But like I said, you know, um, 443 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: you know for me, the my ranting and my expression, 444 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: my you know, social media, my podcast, the I Am 445 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: Wrapp Reports stereo podcast, what you've been on briefly, Um, 446 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: I do it again. I would love that because I 447 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: got a thousand questions for you to you know, you know, 448 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 1: when I'm I'm when i feel like I'm at my 449 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: best and being my most honest, it's it's just, um, 450 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: it's an emotional expression. Like obviously there's heavier things than sports, 451 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, but like if I'm watching a game or 452 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: I'm watching something and I just respond, those are the 453 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: things that people respond to if if something happens politically 454 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: or socially, and I just you know, I'll just it's 455 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: just like I'm just vomiting out my my thoughts and 456 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: my opinions, and and those are the ones that most 457 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: people respond to. Um. But like I said, there's I 458 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: don't know how to contrive it and and and it's 459 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: just not who I am, Like I should be more 460 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: so strategic and and the system more I could because 461 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: I could use it to my advantage is just not 462 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: to me. It feels dishonest. That's just how it is 463 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: for me. You're very opinionated, and you have a lot 464 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: to say. Now what I find interesting. And I'll touch 465 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: on this briefly because I know it's in dead in 466 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: the past. But when you and Kevin Durant got into it, 467 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: you ultimately got him to you. I don't know if 468 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: you got him to apologize, but he ultimately apologized. We 469 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: never see that happen. What was the genesis of that 470 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: argument and how did it end? All right, I'll tell 471 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: you exactly what happened. I had met Durant. Durant and 472 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: his one of his people wanted to meet me because 473 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: they wanted to do talking videos. They wanted to meet. 474 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: He loved the talking videos. He loved all of Lebronze stuff, 475 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: all the the takes, all the he loved all my stuff. 476 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: He wanted to meet. So, UM, I went up to 477 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 1: San Francisco. I met him and UM, you know, they 478 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: were talking about doing this that in the third in 479 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: this business and YouTube this and you know this just 480 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: right before he started his production company and we're gonna 481 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: do this, We're gonna do and all this bullshit. He 482 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: wasn't doing that. His guy was Durant was cool. We 483 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: did We did a video that was really really funny 484 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: UM where he tweeted he he tweeted, UM, beautiful day 485 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: in the day.

When he finally came back. I think 508 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: it was when he came back, I'm getting the time 509 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: confused Barkley. It was. It was a sort of controversial 510 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: in off you when Charles Barkley and Shock and then 511 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: were interviewing him his first night back. I think he 512 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: was with the Brooklyn Nets. Yeah, I felt like he 513 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: was being disrespectful to them, it's given a one word 514 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: answers and all it's it's you know, Barkley and them 515 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: have talked about it. He was being ruined, like, why 516 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: do the interview like you're you're talking to these dudes, 517 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: You're you're the show. Why do the interf you have 518 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: a problem with Charles Barkley and Shack and Kenny Smith 519 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: and T and T. Just don't do the interview or 520 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: say it on live TV if they if you think 521 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: they were talking about you when you were injured, say 522 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: it or don't do them because you sound like a baby. 523 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: So I tweeted something like that, and then he was 524 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: in my idea and then he responded in my idea, 525 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Poppa up up, I'm gonna spit on you the stuff 526 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: that I posted, I'm gonna spit in your face. Poppa 527 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: up a boat. A couple of weeks later, when I 528 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: see you, I'm gonna spit in your face. Unprompted the 529 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: second one, and then the third one was unprompted again, 530 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: I'm something about your wife and your wife, and I 531 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: was like that, you ain't talking about my wife. Get 532 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: the fun at and we went back and forth before 533 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: he said something about my wife, and then I posted 534 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: the d m s and the reason why he didn't 535 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: apologize to me. He apologized because the NBA made him 536 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: apologize and they think they find them fifty dollars. And 537 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: that was the end of it. Again that day that 538 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: I posted this stuff, there was a lot going on 539 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: in my life that particular day. That morning. He shouldn't 540 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: have been in my d MS talking. He shouldn't have 541 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: mentioned my wife. And I was like, this guy, you're 542 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: a fucking clown. You're foolish. The people around you were fullish, 543 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: but I am telling you carry that went on for 544 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: five days. That the ran thing literally went on for 545 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: five days. And it took on because he had said, 546 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, people were saying there was race involved and 547 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: there was homophobic, and I was like, this is it. 548 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: It was on a whole new life. Really, it's on 549 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,439 Speaker 1: a whole new life beyond what I thought. I just 550 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: wanted to show, like this guy's fullish Dotata. I didn't 551 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: think they were gonna be like he's homophobic, he's ready. 552 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: I didn't think any of this because he was just 553 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: he was talking. But it wasn't like I was like 554 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: your homeophore book or is raised because he said, you 555 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 1: know white this and I was like, this is insane, 556 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: and it just went on and on and on. And 557 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: I have said crazy things about Trump, I mean crazy, 558 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: and the only last day, for some reason, this threat 559 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: that went on it literally a black man. That's why. Yo, 560 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: the things I've said about Trump are way more important, 561 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: and they're way more in my opinion. Here's the thing 562 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: about athletes. They can't win for losing. You know that. 563 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: He tweeted, Oh can I have an? I say, and 564 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: he gets all this pushback and he's all and he's 565 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: already going after people in general. That's kind of the 566 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: name his reputation, right, he goes after people much how 567 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: to know? So then you add race to this, and 568 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: there are people who are these bots who feed the internet, 569 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: and you find yourself in this situation. What I remember thinking, God, 570 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: why is this still a story? You talk about it 571 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: right now if you have to do it over again. 572 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: Would you not have released those d ms? No? I 573 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't have released them. I wouldn't have released them because 574 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: it wasn't inevitably wasn't a good look for myself. What 575 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: I would have done is shown up to Barclay's courtside 576 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: and said something to him. What would you have said 577 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: to him? If he would have shown up, I would 578 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: have said, say that you were saying in my damn, 579 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: that's what I had said to him. And I'm not 580 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: a tough guy, and and and like, and I've said 581 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: this before the out of out of all the the 582 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: the NBA athletes, and and you know, these dudes are strong, 583 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: they're young, He's probably one of the only ones who 584 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of. I would have been, like, say 585 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: that to my face now, so you're gonna spit my 586 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: face right now? So you wouldn't you You would have 587 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: tried to go hand to hand with Kevin Durant. You 588 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: would have tried to fight Kevin Durant. He wouldn't try. 589 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have said he wouldn't have He wouldn't have 590 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: said anything if I had said that to all not 591 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: see him here, wouldn't have said anything to me.

Thank you for listening. This is where 603 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: you find yourself where people are having this conversation saying 604 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: to you, um, hey, you're too comfortable because you're just 605 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: looking at it man to man. Don't talk about my 606 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: wife like man and man. You're not even putting in 607 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: the black and the white. Yes, that's factored in for 608 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: obvious people. But you're like, yo, don't talk about my wife, 609 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: don't come at me, don't disrespect me. I don't feel 610 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: from what I know, and I may be wrong, I 611 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: don't feel like you were making it a race issue 612 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: at all. Everybody else joining in is making it a 613 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: race issue. However, do you find that it's hard to 614 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: to criticize black people, black men more specifically without you 615 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: getting pushed back For instance, you had a hot take 616 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: on Kanye, and everybody is set up with Kanye, but 617 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: you went on and on and on, and you were 618 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: very clear about him talking about Jewish people, and we 619 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: saw the fallback. People had to pull interviews. You saw 620 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: that happen on the shop. They had to pull the 621 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: interview because, for my understanding, employees were pissed and getting 622 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: ready to walk out. Then you have other people putting 623 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: them on, but you're here. You're Everybody's just like we're done. 624 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: We're done, and what you said was valid. Did you 625 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: get any pushback in terms of your take on Kanye 626 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: and while you were fed up with him? No, I 627 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: didn't get any pushback on him. I mean, but he 628 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: really has alienated himself. Um. I didn't get any pushback. No, 629 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: not on on that at all. Um. You know, he's 630 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 1: a specific he's very he's a specific case. But do 631 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: you feel where he's at now in terms of people's opinion, 632 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: he's extremely specific, Like, I don't think there's he's really 633 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: on an island by himself. Correct. The take in the 634 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: community has been that artists, black artists more specifically UM, 635 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: have an obligation because sometimes that two are not separated. 636 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: When you do get this this platform, you can't separate 637 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: yourself from from sometimes speaking for the culture and people 638 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: are listening to you. So that's why a lot of 639 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: people in the culture are fed up. What he said 640 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: about George Floyd was discussing what he said about Jewish 641 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: people were disgusting. Do you ever feel any hesitation though, 642 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,479 Speaker 1: when you go head to head against someone or when 643 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: you go after someone and they're black. Do you think 644 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna make it a race issue? I don't, but 645 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: people inevitably do. I I don't. I don't. I mean, 646 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, the things like this is one of the 647 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: most silliest things ever. But I remember I said something 648 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: about Janet Jackson not having hit records lately. Oh, and 649 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: people were cool black Twitter, which we don't even know 650 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: if black Twitter is actually black people, who knows, but 651 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: I think it exists. Shay about the Twitter is out there, 652 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: go ahead. No, I didn't say anything about It started 653 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: off just about how she doesn't have a hit record 654 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: because people are like, why isn't she at the super Bowl? 655 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: And I was like, Yo, she ain't at the super 656 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: Bowl because she ain't popping. She hasn't been popping whatever 657 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: date I said, and people were like insane. You could 658 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: argue with me about the villatinity of Janet Jackson. You 659 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: could argue, but when you're trying to tell me that 660 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: that comment makes me racist. But like, that's how simplified 661 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: it gets. Like I was like, yo, and also it's 662 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: it's tongue in cheek. I didn't. I was like, yo, 663 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: she ain't at the super because she's not banging no more. 664 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: She not. She hasn't had a hit song, that's why. 665 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: And they were like, well mcdonnald. I was like, yeah, 666 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: McDonald was up there. She looked crazy. She almost fell 667 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: off off the bleaches when she was up there. That's 668 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: why you need to keep keeping young and fresh, because 669 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: it's dangerous to put people like mcdonna up there. She 670 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: literally almost old herself at the thing. And even that 671 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: Jenne Jennet when it went out like Madonna. You know that, right, 672 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: I know that. But you know, inevitably at the super 673 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: Bowl you need people that are like quote unquote hot 674 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: or relevant at the time, not to say, you know you, 675 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: Let fifty was up there looking looking like a dollar. 676 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: Let everybody left. Fitty Sink got up there looking like 677 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: a dollar. Why that was Dr Dre's That was Dr 678 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: Dre's choice. I'm just I'm just saying in terms of 679 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: race stuff, the reality of it, you know, is is 680 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: that if I speak on something that involves a black person, 681 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: somehow I can somehow, some way. It could be me 682 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: complimenting somebody, Oh, you know, you need to stay out 683 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: of hip hop? What the are you talking about hip hop? 684 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: It could be if if I'm critiquing, you know, somebody 685 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: in hip hop, why are you always talking about hip 686 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: hop staying up black people's business? Like what are you 687 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: talking about? You know? And you mean it's the most 688 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: mundane stupid things. But to me, Twitter and social media, 689 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: but I go Twitter first, it goes to me it's 690 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: Twitter and instant because I messed with all of Twitter, 691 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: Instagram and Facebook. But Twitter in particular is the most fake. 692 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: Do wright e um want to be um perfect? Trying 693 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: to project your project this image of this It's just 694 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous. It's it's it's totally ridiculous because people 695 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: try to act like show their best selves on there. 696 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: You know. Carry one thing that I try to do 697 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 1: when I articulate myself, whether it's on your podcast, whether 698 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: it's on ESPN, whether it's on my videos. I don't 699 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: try to articulate and present myself in the best way possible. 700 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: I try to articulate and present myself and is like you, 701 00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: not like you necessarily like I want to show I 702 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: want to show you the honest truth. So if I'm 703 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: talking ship and I'm criticizing, this is who I am. Um. 704 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: Also especially regarding to if it's sports, pop culture, you know, 705 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: music which is not believe pop pop culture, if it's 706 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: anything out of politics and social issues, and even with 707 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: politics and social issues, nine nine point nine percent of 708 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: the times when I'm making a comment, there's always humor involved, 709 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: and the humors usually pointed at myself. So when people 710 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: take things out of you know, like you know, like 711 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: if I make a say this rapper sucks or this 712 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 1: show sucks, or Janet Jackson isn't at the super Bowl, 713 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: because this is this is tongue in cheek. When people 714 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: turn this into like a race warm like you're a 715 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: joke and and you're taking this real series because in 716 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: real life, none of these things that people have gotten 717 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: upset me with me about on social media have ever 718 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 1: said anything to me derogatory about it in real life ever, 719 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: not in a confrontational with like they're just it's just people. 720 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: It's just like, I'm like, that's what I say. Is 721 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 1: is black Twitter even real? Is? Why do you say? 722 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: What do you mean? Why do you mean not even 723 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: just black Twitter? It's like you know, like you know 724 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: there's these robots, there's you know, these are these real accounts. 725 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: You know it's not just black Twitter, just all of it? 726 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it even real? Because you could say, 727 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: who if you talk to white boy blah blah blah 728 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: blah bah and you can have a picture yourself, you 729 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: could be I'm like, you might be in Russia for 730 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: all I know where are you at? And by the way, 731 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: I agree with you on that. I agree with you 732 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: on that. I feel like bots have take. I can 733 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: I can always tell if I say something and bots 734 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 1: are generating tweets and they're doing the things to respond 735 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: to me. Whenever you there's some keywords right when you 736 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: talk about Trump, the bots go in. And when you 737 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: say certain things, certain people you go after. There there's 738 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 1: left or right. It's always polarizing. I think that's your 739 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 1: next doc. Is this even real? Who are these people 740 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: responding to us on the other end, when we have 741 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: something to say, whether it it's it's inflammatory or not, 742 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: but if it's divisive or if it's picking aside, they're 743 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 1: these it's like they mount up. It's like okay, alert alert, 744 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: Michael rapping Boards tweeting, get you know, go after I 745 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: I absolutely agree with you in that sense. I just 746 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: wonder in the world that we live in now. I 747 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: think after George Floyd, and it was before, but more 748 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,760 Speaker 1: so after George Floyd, I think people are much more racist. 749 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: I think white people are much more bold about how 750 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: they feel about black people. I think that we are 751 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: watching in real time these these people be elected. These 752 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: racist officials get elected because people feel like they need 753 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 1: to be in place, and so I couldn't imagine you 754 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:42,720 Speaker 1: having an opinion about all things, more specifically the culture 755 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: without feeling the pushback. That's what I was getting at. 756 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: I could not imagine that that's what I think happens 757 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: in the world for you. Do you ever feel I 758 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: asked this question often to people who have really big 759 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: platforms and you can talk like you can go like 760 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: I can go, Do you ever feel misunderstood? No, I 761 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: don't have a feel misunderstood. No, because there's there's wh're 762 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 1: not We're not when honestly, Harry, if I if I 763 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: tweet something with just writing, like the Janet thing and 764 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that looks like a silly thing, if 765 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's there's context, and there's sarcasm that 766 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: not in there. Um. But if I do a video, 767 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: I don't feel misunderstood. I feel like because people can 768 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: hear the sarcasm, they could hear they get the joke, 769 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: they hear the tone of it, they hear the inflection 770 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: of it. I'm not as good of a written tweeter 771 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: as I am in the video in the face, So 772 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, I don't ever feel misunderstood. You know, I 773 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: feel like people don't know me, people have preconceived notions, 774 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: or people only know this much or you know that much, 775 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: but you know, as they should they this is not reality. 776 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 1: This is you know, social media is not reality, you know, 777 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: like you know, like I said, when I'm you know, 778 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 1: with you talking right now, when I'm on my podcast, 779 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: when when I'm on an interview, I tried to show 780 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: myself as I am. You know, I don't know, I 781 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: don't try to present myself is a perfect thing. I 782 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: just don't but I don't believe in it. I don't 783 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: believe in it. And like I said, I could have 784 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: benefit and I could benefit from buttoning things up and 785 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: tighten things up more. But there's no fun. Then what's 786 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: the fun of it. I ain't having fun if I'm 787 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: doing that. I love how unapologetic you are, because you, 788 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: truly before unapologetic was a thing. That's just what you are, 789 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's how you are raised. Some people 790 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 1: might call it a privilege to be able to walk 791 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: around and say whatever you want to say. I don't 792 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: know do because I growing up, I never had that luxury. 793 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,920 Speaker 1: I think you've It appears to me that you've been 794 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: this way your entire life. Is that a privilege you 795 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:56,359 Speaker 1: think that you have. I mean, and I am saying 796 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 1: that now, privilege, right, But I'm not saying it in 797 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,839 Speaker 1: a disrespectful way. It's a privial no, I don't. I mean.

Is Magic Johnson 855 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: qualified to run the Lakers? Why is he? Basically questioned 856 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,720 Speaker 1: why Magic Johnson was getting got hired to run the Lakers? 857 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 1: And I was like, your father is on TV? Is 858 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: he qualified to be on TV? Did he go to 859 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: media training? Does he? Like? Why is your father on TV? 860 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: I didn't say it in those words, but it escalated 861 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,280 Speaker 1: to that. I was like, your father's on TV every 862 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: single day? Is he? How did he get this job? 863 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 1: Mattic Johnson's Magic Johnson, He's he doesn't need And this 864 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: turned into a whole thing and then his producer and 865 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: the next thing you know about this happened on a Friday. 866 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: By Monday, I had never went back on ESPN again, 867 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,080 Speaker 1: and and he did that ship. So you know that 868 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: was ramifications and you know all the yes, like I 869 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: don't know what went through the ESPN people, But when 870 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 1: I would see yes, you were always cool with me. 871 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,719 Speaker 1: But when I would see people scared them. You just 872 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: scared that he stays on Twitter, but he's saying he's 873 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: saying all these kinds of stuff and blah blah blah blah, 874 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 1: And I'm like, yo, but it didn't go to It 875 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 1: didn't first start off like yo, your father that that that. 876 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 1: But my first question was he was like his Magic 877 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: Johnson qualified to run late because it was like, is 878 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: your father qualified to be on TV? It's a valid 879 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 1: question because this moment was on Poppies on TV every 880 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: day and he and the whole of fame. He's just 881 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,239 Speaker 1: up there. You know, that is what he is. But 882 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 1: to play Devil's advocate, the same reason why you got 883 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,760 Speaker 1: mad at Durant say something about your wife, That's probably 884 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: how he responded, right, cool, but also at some sucker 885 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: ship to be like, don't have him on the platform. 886 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: You can't never come on the platform. He was never 887 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 1: allowed to be back on ESPN every again. And whoever 888 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: the who is the owner who went down in a 889 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: bowl of flames? Uh?

Day was like 894 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,279 Speaker 1: and then when they see me in real life, when 895 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: I went to a party, I saw some of the 896 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: ESPN personalities that I had been on TV. They're like 897 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: like they saw a ghost. It's like, I'm not you know, 898 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: so whatever you know that that's to me, that's what 899 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 1: stories good.

That is a privilege, my friend, that I 906 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,160 Speaker 1: don't and I don't necessarily. Dan labratories Cuban. He got 907 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 1: privileged because he got me outstaid. He got me outstacked 908 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: from because I was questioning why he was. He was 909 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,600 Speaker 1: dissing Magic Johnson. He was disrespect You were like, yeah, 910 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,760 Speaker 1: I get it. And inevitably he was right because Magic 911 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: was not, you know, running the Lakers correctly, whatever the case. 912 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,879 Speaker 1: But I was going At first it started in banter, 913 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: and it it escalated very quickly, you know, people his 914 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: producers started talking ship and then somehow it became again. 915 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, how is this become? How is this racist? 916 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 1: But That's what I was trying to expect. I'm like, 917 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: you have to see. But in you're you're not even 918 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: thinking race, You're doing you someone's going to inevitably say 919 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 1: that because of what you look like and who you are, 920 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: inevitably on social media. And so I'll tell you something. 921 00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 1: If I go to Dagga Stee, if I go to 922 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 1: the supermarket downstairs in New York and me and the 923 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: the the the grocer for me and the clerk or 924 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,160 Speaker 1: the supermarket market manager start arguing, and that no one's 925 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 1: gonna ask about race. We're just gonna be two men arguing. 926 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: And he could be black. He could be Puerto Rican 927 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: if you're in if you're in road rage and I'm 928 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 1: like you, your mother gonna gets out of the car 929 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: and it's a black footer Puerto ric It's not race, 930 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 1: it's just fun you. But if you do that on Twitter, 931 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: you're racist. Racist. Social media is a scary and uh 932 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,359 Speaker 1: place that is not real, and a lot of us, 933 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: even if we know it's not real, get consumed. All 934 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 1: of us get consumed. It happens to the best of 935 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:07,640 Speaker 1: the best of us. How many hours do you think 936 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 1: you carry on it? But I'm gonna to be honest, 937 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm not on Twitter. I'm on Instagram a lot more. 938 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: But what I do, what I've figured out is that 939 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 1: I stay on my timeline. I don't go too far off. 940 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,799 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really And then sometimes I go 941 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: through a quick like I started liking people's photos just 942 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: to like, because I don't want to seem like I'm 943 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: not paying attention. But I try not to spend too 944 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: much time consumed in certainer because but honestly, how much 945 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: time do you think on social media? Probably two hours 946 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 1: a day, probably too much, Probably two hours a day, 947 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: probably two hours a day. And I and that is 948 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: on the high side because when I get my screen time, 949 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: they're like, oh I stopped once. I engage every now 950 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 1: and again Twitter gets me. So I was weighing in 951 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 1: on what happened with the Boston Celtics coach. I wasn't 952 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: defending him, but what I was saying was this shore 953 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 1: is so effortless, like there's an effort put in that. 954 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:58,319 Speaker 1: It seems effortless. Coaches do this. People sleep with people 955 00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 1: all the time, people the world that we live in. In 956 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,399 Speaker 1: In our world, I see it happen all the time. 957 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: There's always affairs, there's always something going on. Then they're like, 958 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,480 Speaker 1: he's sexually harassed the woman. I'm like, no, they set 959 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 1: the relationship is consensual. Why is it being released? Why 960 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,680 Speaker 1: are we hearing details? Why are we finding out who 961 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: this woman is? Why do we know that? If I 962 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 1: had to guess and and people everybody's been guessing, and 963 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: everyone thinks they really know. What he has done, in 964 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,960 Speaker 1: my opinion is smart and not said right at all. 965 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,120 Speaker 1: He's never gonna because he wants his money. The fact 966 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 1: that they suspended him for one year, the same exact correct, 967 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 1: the same exact punishment that they gave the racist owner 968 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,919 Speaker 1: who was using the in word that Sarver guy, Robert Sarver, 969 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,120 Speaker 1: who ended up having forced to sell the team. They 970 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,879 Speaker 1: suspended him for a year.

I'm pronouncing his 975 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,400 Speaker 1: name correctly. I was like, something's not right here until 976 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: Twitter brought me in and made me feel like I 977 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,400 Speaker 1: wasn't protecting him, like they were like, you're wrong, he 978 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:07,560 Speaker 1: sexually harassed her. People don't know anything. They think they 979 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 1: know everything, which is why I got off. And that 980 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 1: whole thing with him is the word is is that 981 00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 1: he allegedly this is all alleged that he was somehow 982 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 1: this woman was connected to Danny Ainge and he he 983 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: was pulling around with people he shouldn't have been full. 984 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: That's really what it is. Don't mess with nobody's property, 985 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: is what I'm hearing. I don't know, how do you 986 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: think it's crazy? Like, like, how is that going to 987 00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,799 Speaker 1: play out? A year suspension and then you're gonna come 988 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,839 Speaker 1: back he's not coming back. I think right now they're 989 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 1: trying to get They don't want to give him his money, 990 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 1: and he's trying to figure out how to get it, 991 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: get his money. This is this is why they just 992 00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: should have paid him to send him to go away, 993 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,359 Speaker 1: and they didn't want to. They wanted to ruin this 994 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: man's career because they could have fired him and give 995 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,760 Speaker 1: him his money. That's it. Why didn't they do that? Logic, 996 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

Y'all can say 1163 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: whatever you want. I enjoy him because I do believe 1164 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,240 Speaker 1: he doesn't mean any hard. I think that he's just 1165 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: an old school dude who trash talks and and we 1166 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: live in a world today where you're not allowed to 1167 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: do that. Everyone is so politically correct. But how he 1168 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: grew up at fifty two years old, you say what 1169 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: you feel and now what and now what I mean? Well, 1170 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,280 Speaker 1: the now what is the Twitter and everyone accusing him 1171 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 1: of being racist, and the pushback and losing and the 1172 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 1: list goes on and on. But for the most part, overall, 1173 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 1: I enjoy him. Like I said, check out some of 1174 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: the things that he's been in and he's currently on 1175 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 1: Only Murderers in the Ability. That's an excellent show. Everybody 1176 00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,600 Speaker 1: loved that show. If you got Hulu, you definitely should 1177 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 1: stream it. If you don't have Who, you get Who 1178 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,000 Speaker 1: because it's really really good. It's entertaining, and it just 1179 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: also talks about basically how you can see all these 1180 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,600 Speaker 1: people that you've loved over the years in different aspects. 1181 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Now the show could use a little more diversity because 1182 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Michael does not qualify as black. But it's a really 1183 01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 1: good show. Thank you guys for paying attention to us 1184 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: and enjoying Naked.
