59
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: up just for traveling as a killer between even though

60
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: they shot at us. And so you do a game,

61
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: you get on the plane, you do a game. You know,

62
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: you gotta prepare. So it's been nuts. So what do

63
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: you do on your days off now that you're you're

64
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: settled in and and I imagine in somewhere in San

65
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: Francisco to cover Game seven? Like do you have to relax?

66
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to speak? Like how do you rest

67
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: your voice? And like rest your body in your mind

68
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: and your excitement like you know for all these games.

69
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: You know, actually the voice aspect is the toughest part

70
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: of it. And I've been very fortunate. Uh it's been

71
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: about a five week stretch and show it was home

72
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: in New York maybe for for three days. And and

73
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: the worst part of it is, you know, you can

74
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: pick up all kinds of uh illness on airplanes, you know,

75
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: with all the flying that we do. But no, the

76
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: way it wants in the playoffs. You do a game,

77
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: you travel, you do a game, you travel, So on

78
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the off day basically just redoing my notes and getting

79
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: ready for the next game, and uh as you often

80
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: do you know, you script your ad libs and um,

81
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: you know we have meetings, production meetings and just plan

82
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: out different situations to talk to players and coaches, do

83
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: innocent interviews. So you really it's a lot of fun.

84
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: But um, you're always on the move, is you know,

85
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: you might go out to a dinner every once in

86
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: a while, but I find it's it's tough to do

87
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: that because, um, you're turning around immediately in the situation.

88
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Right now, it's pretty good because we're on one series,

89
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: so uh, and it's the best series of playoffs, the

90
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Western Conference final, so we stay with you know, the

91
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: one team. But we who excuse me, we've been jumping

92
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: around between series, mostly out of the West. How is

93
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: this series? I mean, you've you've covered so many playoffs

94
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: in so many games and so many series. How is

95
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: the the the ups and downs and the excitement of

96
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: this series compared with to the the many series you've

97
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: covered in the past. Well, it's been an unusual series

98
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: because the last two games have been very, very good.

99
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Particularly last night to me was a classic because of

100
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: the shooting of Clay Thompson and Steph Curry and because

101
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: it was an illumination game and you had the defending

102
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: champs you know, on the ropes. Uh, and could have

103
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: been knocked out after this magical seventy three win season,

104
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: but we had two blowouts in the series, and so

105
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: out of maybe we've had three very very good games

106
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: and the ratings have been sensational because Golden State, you know,

107
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: it draws that type of those type of numbers. Uh.

108
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, there have been a lot of other Chicago

109
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Bulls series in the past when NBC was covering the

110
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: games that I was doing the games then. Uh so

111
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: when you had Michael Jordan's You're winning his sixties championships, Uh,

112
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: he had all the excitement there. We had the Rockets

113
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: in the Knicks. We had you know, those two Houston

114
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: championships in that Nick Rockets series was great. And going

115
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: all the way back to my radio days, uh, you

116
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: know seventy which I know you're well aware of it

117
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: documenting it and u as Furst up of seventy three

118
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Edick championship was not uh that excited because they wanted five,

119
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: which was kind of surprising. But seventy is you know,

120
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: one of the most memorable to me. Uh. In particular

121
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: at that time, many of the games were on the

122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: lad uh tape on television, so my doing the radio

123
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: was really the only vehicle where you could get it

124
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: live unless you were fortunate enough to a ticket uh

125
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: to the guard. So uh there's been so many uh

126
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: great you're going to be a finals or uh playoff

127
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: games over the years and I just get unfortunately been

128
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: able to do them. Well, what what do you what

129
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: can you say? Do you remember? I mean it's hard

130
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: to pick. And I know you've talked about the loudness

131
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: in the arena when Willis came out of the tunnel

132
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: for for for game for the game game seven? What

133
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: what is? Can you say? What has been the loudest

134
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: arena moment you've covered during your career or one of

135
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the loudest arena moments you know that you've covered spent,

136
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: particularly with basketball. Well, when will the Sting came out

137
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: of the tunnel? I always said that was the loudest,

138
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: and it was in the days where the crowds were

139
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 1: not being pumped. You don't have, you know, all the

140
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: music and a high decibel that you have now. But

141
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: now it's different. In places like Oklahoma City and in

142
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: article arena in Oakland, it is so loud, but a

143
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: lot of it is manufactured by you know what's going

144
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: on with the public address and the descible level. You know,

145
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: I can't you know, measure descible levels, but uh, it's

146
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: probably louder now, but it was different, you know, when

147
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: the dramatic event uh leads to the crowd roar. I mean,

148
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: it's more natural. So I will always remember Willis read

149
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: coming out where people didn't expect you would play in

150
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: Game seven and nineteen seventy and in the Lakers just

151
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: stopping their wal ups, turning around and looking at astonishment

152
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: as Willis walks out. But that was a natural moment

153
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: once you see now in arena's you know, around the country,

154
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: it's really and in every sport it's all pumped up,

155
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: and it's a completely different type of the outs. You

156
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: know they set up all right. You covered the Nixon

157
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: in the Glory days and and and obviously you talked

158
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: about the shooting of Clay Thompson. Of course Curry. Do

159
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: you think you can you compare that backcourt of Curry

160
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: and Clay Thompson to anybody else? And and do you

161
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: think that that's actually the best backcourt of all time?

162
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: Obviously you know, Monroe and Fraser's discussed and and you know,

163
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: and there's there's you know, there's so many different backcourts

164
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: that you could compare to, but like, who would you

165
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: say you think is the most impressive backcourt, or you

166
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: could say two or three that you've ever seen, you know,

167
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: covering the NBA. Well, Michael Thompson and Curry to me

168
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: are the best shooting backcourt of all time, followed by

169
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: perhaps Sherry Western, Gale Goodrich, right, uh, Earl Monroe and

170
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: wal Frasier one of the great Black courts. But that

171
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: was for all around skills. That was it was a different,

172
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: different brand of basketball that was played then. And if

173
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: you look at shooting percentages, like in the seventies of

174
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: the sixties, people are often surprised some of the star

175
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: players did not shoot the way guys are shooting now.

176
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: And then you look back. Also, the Boston Celtics had

177
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: some great backcourts, I mean Cuzy and Charmin way back,

178
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: but they you know, they're forte was not the kind

179
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: of shooting that you've seen now. And then the game

180
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: was so it is so different and the game has

181
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: opened up even from the days of of Jordan's and uh,

182
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, the seventies and the eighties with the Celtics

183
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: and the Lakers having great teams. I mean it was

184
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: a more physical style of player. I mean these playoff

185
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: games now are physical, but they're being called a little

186
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: bit closer now, but normally guys have more space to operate. Now,

187
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: what do you think about the shooting? Shooting is better now.

188
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question about it. What do

189
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: you think of this whole notion? I mean you just

190
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: said about the physicality. I mean you've seen it all.

191
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean you've seen it when the league was underdeveloped.

192
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: You've seen it at its peak, you know, uh, you know,

193
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: and when it came back to life with magic and bird. Well,

194
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: what do you think about this, this notion that the

195
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: league now is watered down? Uh? You know, like and

196
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: and do you think that's even fair to compare? Because

197
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: I look at it like it's the evolution of the league,

198
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: It's the evolution of man. The athletes are better, Um,

199
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: you know the rules, they can't take dictate the rules,

200
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: but you know, use covering it so closely. What do

201
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: you think of that whole notion of it being watered down? Well,

202
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: that that really started in every sport with expansion, so

203
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: it's automatically watered down and Um, even in the early

204
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: years of the n b A, because there were so

205
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: many outstanding Africa African American players who or not in

206
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: the NBA right, usually the best, the best guys would

207
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: end up as members of the Holland Globetrotters. I mean

208
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: that was as far as they could go until nineteen.

209
00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the NBA started nineteen fifty the first life

210
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: players did UH get to play, and and then slowly

211
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: but surely, you see how the league has changed. Uh.

212
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, with that, you can say the same thing

213
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: about UH baseball and even football in their earlier years.

214
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: But um, I mean, I think that's, you know, part

215
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: of why the league is even better. There's no I mean,

216
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: there's no question about a lot of guys weren't allowed

217
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: to play. I mean it was you know, it was

218
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: the same thing in baseball till Jackie Robinson broke the

219
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: color line. But I think it's also once expansion came

220
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: and now in the NBA you have even a different

221
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: situation with the fact that you have all these you know,

222
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: players able to come out of UH college, you know,

223
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: after a year, and I think that means that the

224
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: fundamentals are not as good, you know, when guys played

225
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: two or three years even well, even see that. The

226
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: perfect examples are in problem. See Jay McCollum, who played

227
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: basketball at Lehigh and Damian Literally who played a little

228
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: we were we were staying that's a little because of

229
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: its basketball, and they are both tremendous players. There are

230
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: four four year four year guys and you see, and

231
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: it really that has been a tremendous advantage because they

232
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: came in a little bit more season. It took McCollum

233
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: a year or two, you know, to get to where

234
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: he is right now. But still, I think that's the

235
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: other fact there. Uh water, I know Charles Charles Barker

236
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: said it on one of the studio shows. Um, he's

237
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: not wrong, but I don't think it's as Um, I

238
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't put the emphasis on it the way the way

239
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: he did. I mean, the game is so different now also,

240
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: but fundamentally I think it has dropped off because you

241
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: have so many young guys coming into the league. Now. Now,

242
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: all right, now, I'm gonna ask you a couple of

243
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: random questions. Is there anybody is there any good sushi

244
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: in in Oklahoma City? Does that exist? And is there

245
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: anything close to a five star restaurant in Cleveland that

246
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: serves more than just like eggs, bacon and eggs, like

247
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: is there are there really, Legitia? Actually very no, you're

248
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: wrong with that because Cleveland has really, um uh quite

249
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: a few great restaurants. I mean, all right, so you're

250
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: saying that there is a good meal in Cleveland and

251
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: you haven't confirmed if I could get sushi and okay,

252
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: see if they go if they make it to the finals.

253
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: Yes you can. In fact I did, and taking a

254
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: very brief tour of downtown Oklahoma City, I did see

255
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: a couple of sushi places. I cannot vouch for it

256
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: because I did not eat sushi there, but yes, I

257
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: I know you can find uh find sushi and Okay,

258
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: all right, this is my last question because I know

259
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: you want you you want to rest your voice. You

260
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: gotta prepare for your game. If you had to bet

261
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: the house, your house, and and and and you're Marv Albert.

262
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Will the Knicks win a championship before the Cubs win

263
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: a World Series? Help me out here, Marv. What's going

264
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: to happen the Cup? The Cubs have a terrific chance

265
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: this season. I mean they've come along. It's not even

266
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: close are you kidding? The Cubs are a good ball

267
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: club right now, so they have a real shot to

268
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: go to the Series. I mean, the Knicks are very

269
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: far away. You know, it's very difficult the way things

270
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: are set up with the roster for for the Knicks

271
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: to attract free agents. I know. So it's gonna be

272
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, you ever know, But they don't have any

273
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: draft picks. You know, they may trade for a draft pick,

274
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: but it won't be a high picker. It could be

275
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: a second round pick, and you can't there are very

276
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: few second round picks that really make an impact. Uh.

277
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: That sets unusual. You know, maybe somebody off the bench,

278
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: but all that would not even be a contest. You

279
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: don't know how to take your money on that one.

280
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, you know better than me. I mean, listen,

281
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: the Cubs have have have some some terrible luck. That's

282
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: why I was asking you. You know better than me,

283
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: And I mean you know the pain of the Knicks. Uh,

284
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: you were there, you lived it, you covered it firsthand.

285
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: I was you know, I've never really experienced it there.

286
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: You were a child at the time. Actually, when I

287
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: first started doing the next they were at the bottom

288
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: of the league. And um, you know, they drafted very well.

289
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: Eddie Donovan was the general manage and they drafted very

290
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: very well, built a reasonable roster, and then really came

291
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: on after they drafted Clyde and Willis uh and uh

292
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: signed and Bill Bradley as a territorial pick which was

293
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: in existence at that time. But they came on with

294
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: the Busher trade. You know, they said Howard Comas and

295
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: David and uh well Bellaby to Detroit for the Busher

296
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: That just made them into a championship uh content. Getting

297
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: back to the they are thirty three and fourteen. They

298
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: have the best record in the nationally right Well, all right, well, okay,

299
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: so that that that's my that's my answer. I will say,

300
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: I will take that. I'm not a betting guy, but

301
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: I would be so happy to put that in writing.

302
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: All right, Marv, let me just tell you something. It's

303
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: such a pleasure to to speak to you. You are

304
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: I think the most iconic sports broadcaster. You mean so

305
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: much to to me and to so many fans, and

306
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: and I I just I sincerely appreciate the fact that

307

Speaker 1: groundbreaking move here uh at the Iron Rapports Stereo podcast

371
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: diary of Game seven episode We're going live and direct

372
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: now with the fantastic Jamal Hill. Jamal, It's Michael Rappaport.

373
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm getting what's going on? Man? Hey?

374
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: What's going on? Is? It's Game seven and I can't

375
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: say that. I can't remember being this excited about a

376
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals game. It's almost feels like a super

377
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: Bowl sort of anticipation for this game. Yeah. I mean, hey,

378
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: the ratings have come back from Game three and it's

379
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: already that game was the most watch NBA game of

380
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: the thesis. So I can't imagine this, but this one

381
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: will be. But I mean, you're right. It's it's funny

382
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: because each story is, each game is its own stories.

383
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: But this one, it just feels so momentum, so much

384
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: is on the line. You got a semi weekly story teams,

385
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: you have all this conversation about whether or not it's's

386
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Lose Business game. What kind of impact this

387
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 1: might have? Kevin brand I think it's just it feels

388
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: like the fate of humanity is on this today. Now,

389
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question because you know I'm

390
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: asking this because I'm so fascinated by what you guys

391
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: do with ESPN and you're there on a day to

392
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 1: day basis, and you know that, did you could you

393
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: have imagined this the is Curry backlash? I mean maybe

394
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: it's because I'm blind and I'm such a fan of his.

395
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Could you have imagined like so like so fast, like

396
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: people turning on Curry so quick? And how does that happen?

397
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: And why do you think that happened? Because I mean,

398
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: as far as a sports guy, and it's sort of

399
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: a like a hero, he's everything you want, but then

400
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: he has a couple of bad games, he's on the ropes,

401
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: and I mean it was just like boom, like is

402
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: people laughing at him, giggling at him, talking greasy? What

403
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: is that all about? And did you ever imagine that

404
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: would happen so fast to somebody like that who's so

405
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: well liked. I knew it would happen eventually, because eventually

406
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: it happens to everybody because success of ree contempt for

407
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people. But here's the thing. There's so

408
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: many layers to the Steph Curry tricks. Once you got

409
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: all these old heads like Ostar Robertson and even my

410
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: man Charles Barkley, you know who I love dearly. That

411
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: just simply that don't like the style of basketball that

412
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: Golden State is playing and this, yeah, you know what

413
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean in this idea that a shooter quote unquote

414
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: is dominating the game and is considered to be the

415
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: best basketball player, uh in the NBA right now. They

416
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: can't stand that idea. Is that as it is. They

417
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: have issues with today's basketude basketball in general, but they

418
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: really have issues with how the Warriors played as a

419
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: dominant birthpoint shooting team, as a team that is kind

420
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: of representative of the analytical evolution of this game. They

421
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: cannot stand that. Then you then you have another layer

422
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: of it, and that there are people who feel like

423
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Steph's some kind of package that we just have to accept.

424
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: He's got the NBA bloodbines and dad playing, He's got it,

425
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: the fine mom that everybody loves. You've got a beautiful wife,

426
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: you've got the two kids. It's like they just don't

427
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: want to believe this dude is quote unquote perfect because

428
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: of what the outer layer, exterior your is and so

429
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: they're that part of it. And then even deeper, if

430
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: I could just go way, way deep, deep deep on

431
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: a racial level, he life, yeah, man, and like I

432
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: swear that it just is the hatred and the stuff

433
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: that I hear about him and about them as him

434
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: at play. It is unfortunately exposed this deeper level of

435
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: insecurity within black people that they have when it comes

436
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: to intol That is kind of it's very bizarre to

437
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: see it unfold. Like there's this perception that life getting

438
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: cats us off, all right, and so he's got to

439
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: live with that perception. And because of the way that

440
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 1: he's dominating the game, people play him like you saw,

441
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of people kind of reject

442
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: this idea. And then there's this this also this other

443
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: part of it is like theft was not theft was

444
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: a story that people didn't see coming. And because people weren't,

445
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: they everybody did brilliantly, you know, prophesies like with Lebron

446
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: and that Lebron was gonna be just be super starry.

447
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: Everybody knew that. Everybody can see that coming, but nobody

448
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: saw a coming with steps, and so because of that,

449
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: they had to find reasons to reject it, because they

450
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: didn't understand it from the beginning, you know, doing with

451
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: it Davison. You know, while considered to be a good player,

452
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: nobody ever saw him as being an m v P.

453
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: And so when you miss out on that stuff, people

454
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: have to find ways to reject a narrative that they

455
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: didn't understand from the beginning. Because when it comes to basketball,

456
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: everybody likes to feel like they're smart, like they know

457
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: the game. Because they didn't see this, They're like, oh,

458
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: we gotta reject it because we didn't see it coming.

459
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: And of course we're all smart and knowledgeable and we

460
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: should have known better that that. That's what you just

461
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: said is you just covered the whole thing. So I

462
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: oh wait, wait, let me have weight, Let me have

463
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: one more layers, and like, give me some more on

464
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: top of that, one more layers that he got the

465
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: nerve to be the unanimous m v P. And so

466
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: of course we like because we as in the media,

467
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: because anybody we like automatically people can't think. So then

468
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: I hold up, you got a hundred and thirty one

469
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: people in the media to agree that this guy was

470
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: the truth. Accordingly, can't stand up, especially when I wanted

471
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: the guy. And I'm telling you that Michael Jordan had

472
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: wanted unanimous m v D or any of the other

473
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: great tad because he wouldn't face this kind of hate.

474
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: And you gotta understand too, it's not just like people

475
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: on Twitter and social media that, Hey, the open disrespect

476
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: he's shown by other players I've never seen before. It's crazy.

477
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it is completely crazy for Lebron to all

478
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden, unprovoked, to go into this conversation about

479
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: what value is in the NBA. It's like, do what

480
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: you've done that at Russell Westbrook wanted Like it's just

481
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: like he just did it, like completely unprovoked. And then

482
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: you know you have Dame Liard dropping the tweet no excuses.

483
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: It's like, yo, like, I just they didn't do that

484
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: with Lebron. They didn't even do that with this se alright,

485
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: people going in on him and his team that sent

486
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: home in the first round of year. You were an

487
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: m VP, right, and yeah, it just it's completely acceptable

488
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: to do it with that. Yeah, that that that that

489
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: that's good stuff, Jamal, because I agree, you know, I'm

490
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: a fan of his and i've been I've you know,

491
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: I was fortunate to follow him at Davidson Um, probably

492
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: just because of his last name, and I knew his

493
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: pops and I just became aware of him and you know,

494
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: and I you know, I just I've come across him.

495
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: He's just chill his I just I just don't understand it.

496
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: I just you know, I agree with everything that you

497
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: just said. UM, I'm not gonna keep you long. Who

498
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: who who you got for tonight? Because I know you,

499
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: I've been watching you, you were on so so where

500
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: are you at right now? If you had to bet,

501
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: if you had to bet the house, you had to

502
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: bet all the hair care products, everything you got? Who

503
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: you got tonight? Well it's um. You know, this is

504
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: why I hate making predictions, you know, because I originally

505
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, before the series and it's even sorry, you know,

506
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: much like being the rest of the free world, I

507
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: had Golden State winning it all, and then for this

508
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: particular series, I was like man Golden State and seven

509
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: because I was more or less thinking about, um, the

510
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: fact that these two teams have played each other throughout

511
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: the season, and even though Golden State swept the series,

512
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: the season series, it was still very much all the

513
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: games were tight, you know, and so look, if I

514
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: had to bet my pay checks or you know, my family,

515
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: that's something important to me. It's kind of like, I

516
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: gotta go with Golden State just because, look, history, it's

517
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: the reason why on the road or rather home teams

518
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: and Game seven's are a hundred and you know, a

519
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: hundred wins twenty four lassites. So it never happens in

520
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: the NBA, rarely happened that people actually pull off the

521
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: Game seven Roads defeat. But this is why I'm I'm

522
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: hoping this game lives up to the hype because it

523
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: seems like it will be a classic because I don't

524
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: expect Okay Season not going in there to lay down. No, not,

525
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a game. Yes, it's gonna be a game.

526
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: And I think, uh, there is a temptation to pick

527
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: against Okay see Chicken, then like, oh yeah, they can't

528
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: recover after how they fail down a Game six. But

529
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: as difficult and as painful of a loss as that was,

530
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: it did not for me feel like a knockout blow

531
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma City. It felt like they realized they missed

532
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: the opportunity and they're ready for some more. In Game seven,

533
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: they're ready to receive the moment. So, uh, I think

534
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a very tight game, but I think

535
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: gonna say ultimately you'll get over all right, all right,

536
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: and so so let me do This is a question

537
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to ask you, Like the type of

538
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,239
Speaker 1: fame that you have, the being so recognizable, being on

539
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: TV and being being uh you know recognized, you know,

540
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: in the sports world. I always I'm always curious about this,

541
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: and it's not just with you, it's it's with all

542
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: sports broadcasters. But you're a sports broadcaster and you're a female,

543
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: and I always imagine, like, do you ever get tired

544
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: of people approaching because I'm sure wherever you go, whether

545
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: it's your your coffee place, out to dinner, to get

546
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: your nails done, the news stand, the gas station, probably

547
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: when people see you, they they want to talk about sports.

548
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, so I'm sure you appreciate, you know, being

549
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: being recognized and being appreciated, But are you ever just

550
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 1: like I just I need I don't care, like, are

551
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: you ever sports out? Huh, yeah I am, but nut

552
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: like people want to talk with me about it? Doesn't

553
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: like that's that's not the part that you know where

554
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: I get sports out, so to speak. It's just, you know,

555
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: I try to. I tried. I'm not saying I'm always

556
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: um good at it to have some semblance of balance

557
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: in my personal life. So like, you know, if I'm

558
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: out and I'm hanging with friends, it's like usually the

559
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: conversation is not like about sports, you know, other than

560
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: probably at work and maybe when people I meet in

561
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: the in the public or you know, I don't really

562
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: talk about it, and like, wait a second, you know

563

599
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: We have a phone number. I believe it's a pay

600
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: phone at a seven eleven near Oracle Arena. This is

601
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: where Steph curR he has been located. Uh, Bizarro Steph

602
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: Curry has been located. This is apparently where he's hanging

603
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: out before the game. Um uh he I guess he

604
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to go to shoot around or watch any film. Uh,

605
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: because bizarre Steph Curry, he doesn't. He doesn't give a

606
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: fun um. So hopefully we'll get him on the phone. Well,

607
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: I want to get some pregame response uh from him.

608
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,160

725
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,759

726
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Go ahead. It's it's not like

727
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: you're not prepared it Listen, you're always prepared for a war,

728
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: and and I don't have to be prepared. I'm standing

729
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: on the side of the truth. The first podcast I

730
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: was ever on was yours. Um, you know, I have

731
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of respect for you as as as a

732
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: comedic mind comes the wind up and I love f

733
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: is for Family on Netflix, which got picked up for

734
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: season two. Now, first of all, are you in the

735
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: middle of writing that, are you enjoying it? Relationship doing that. No,

736
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: it's it's it's all I love. At this point, I'm

737
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: we're five episodes in of ten that we're doing for

738
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: season two. We just did the table reef for number five,

739
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: and then we got six, seven, eight coming up in June,

740
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: and then we do nine and ten in July and

741
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: then the edding process starts. But I've um absolutely love

742
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: the writing process um because it's something that I knew,

743
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: I knew how to do, I just didn't. It was

744
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: too scatter brain to figure it out on my own.

745
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: So once I got the show, to sit in a

746
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: room with a bunch of professional writers, and even when

747
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to learn something, I'm just absorbing stuff

748
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: that I don't even realize if by being in there.

749
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: And it's great because I could always write dialogue, but

750
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: just getting everything to track and landed it always seemed

751
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 1: like a big giant pizza dough and it would, you know,

752
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: spin out of control in the third actor. It would

753
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: just ship the bed for me. And now I hear you,

754
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: I hear you so so so you're enjoying it. So

755
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: when is that? When is the second season of f

756
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: Is for Family going to be ready? Like do they

757
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: have a date when when they need it out and

758
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: when they're gonna get it out? No, not yet, but

Speaker 1: your your mind? No? Yeah, yeah, of course I see.

809
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: And then when you say it in that regular, straight

810
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: tone there, it makes me even more nervous, Like I

811
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you're reading a script or that was

812
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: like not you or like there's a program thing I

813
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,960

814
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: my mind? I am? Okay a little bit. But I

815
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: picked a job where it's it's it works. If I

816
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: was if I was in anything else, it um, I

817
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: would be uh. I mean I would I would adjust

818
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: because I'd have to survive, but I would not be happy.

819
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: Now you'd get locked up, I I think you get

820
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: locked up, Like, come on, man, you've seen those you've

821
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: seen those prison shows on TV. You know, goddamn well,

822
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't survive two minutes in there. You know there's

823
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: a line. I have a line I won't cross. But

824
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean as far as like talking to myself in

825
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: the car, you know, spinning off into crazy land. Yeah,

826
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: I definitely do that. But if you give me a

827
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: stack of ship to get done by Monday, I can

828
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: function enough to get that done. You prefer that over

829
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: getting raped in prison like on like a bi weekly

830
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: uh to weekly basis bi weekly? That must be a

831
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: medium security prison because they they'd want to let you

832
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 1: heal up, Like I have a feeling like they because

833
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 1: with the red hair and the freckles, you like, you'd

834
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: be like a like a hanging, so they want to

835
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: let see. Actually, I said to my wife, I said,

836
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: you know what I think for once, when I if

837
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: I went into prison, i'd be considered exotic. Oh yeah,

838
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: that'd be so few And Nia goes. Nia said to me,

839
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: she goes, You're about as exotic as a grilled cheese sandwich. No, no, no, no,

840
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: And there you'd be, you'd be you'd be you'd be

841
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: like the Rihanna of of like you know, like gang

842
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: rape culture. Like you'd be like, yeah, you know number

843
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: when Puggles first came up and everybody just thought they

844
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: were the most adorable things. Granted they didn't want to

845
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: suck them. Well, probably some people did, but you know,

846
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: you just you just slided over to the prison culture.

847
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: And that's what would happen. Now. Let me ask you something.

848
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: Last year you performed in Madison Square Garden, which is

849
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: so incredible and such an accomplishment for for a comedian.

850
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: Out of all the places you performed, what has been

851
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: like just in terms of the intensity and the appreciation

852
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: and and and the crowd response. Out of all the

853
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: shows you do, can you say one arena, one place

854
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: or one concert where you were just like wow, just

855
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:05,760
Speaker 1: the volume of response that you played in Um, there's

856
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: no there's been too many because there's all like the

857
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: the steps to get there, there's everything from the first

858
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: time you ever killed, the first time you gotta stage,

859
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: first time you ever killed, uh, first time you went

860
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: up in the hell room and you're the only guy

861
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: who had a good set, first time in front of

862
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: an all black crowd. You know, all of that stuff.

863
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: But I but let's the the first time doing Letterman.

864
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: This is so much, so many you know, notches in

865
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: the belt that I feel you have to get all

866
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: of them for enough of them to be sort of

867
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: start to understand what is and what isn't funny. You

868
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: got to go up in front of many different crowds

869
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: as you can make different situations. But Madison Square Garden

870
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: was definitely something that you know, I'll never forget. Um

871
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: it was Yeah, it was incredible. It's incredible, man, you know,

872
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure I am. And I'm putting that out vinyl

873
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: by the way, are you really? Yeah? Yeah, because there's

874
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: gonna be some overlap with my next special, so they'll

875
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: get to see like the mid Like it's like when

876
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: I did Carnegie Hall. I did release that one on

877
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: vinyl too. It's for like super nerds of my stand

878
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: up because there's too much overlap if I just put

879
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: it out as a regular audio thing. So I make

880
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: like this, you know, I try to do like an

881
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: old school like comedy album type thing for uh, you know,

882
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 1: I only make a few a couple of hundred of them,

883
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: sell them or whatever, but but it's out there. It's

884
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: documented and then somebody always ends up uploading the thing anyway,

885
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: so everybody gets to listen. I was asking you about

886
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: about the response from crowds because we we we've been

887
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: texting during this series and uh the you know, this

888
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: episode is focused around the Golden State okay See series,

889
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: and you're an okay See guy. I know you're a

890
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: hockey guy. This isn't a statuh a podcast. This is

891
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: actually a podcast where there's this fact checking is regarded.

892
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: It's some bullshit. It's a non fact checking podcast. So okay,

893
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: this is right in my wheel. Okayway, I like okay See.

894
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: I like Durant because way back in the day and

895
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 1: I was actually at the game when okay See played Miami,

896
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat when they had the big three Lebron,

897
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: Bosch and Wade, and right in the beginning of that game,

898
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh got in the face of something from okay See,

899
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 1: and Durant stepped in and then sort of uh, you know,

900
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: I can't say, reprimanded his own player, but had a

901
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: stern talking to him and they asked him later what

902
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: what what he said to his player after his confrontation

903
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: with Bro with Chris Bosh he said, I told them

904
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of phony, tough guys in this league,

905
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: and that guy's one of them. And I just thought

906
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: that that, you know, whether that's true or not, good

907
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: at Chris Bosh could not be the next week. But

908
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not an NBA player, but just hearing that,

909
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,760
Speaker 1: that just seemed like some old school ship. He already

910
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: seemed like a leader and he's he's only twenty seven, knock,

911
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: and I'm not. And I was like four or five

912
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: years ago, so for him to have that kind of

913
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: poise and also just the way he was shooting. I

914
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: saw him. You know, I do the road. I go

915
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 1: on sporting him all the time. I saw him when

916
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: he was a Seattle Sonic and what was the name

917
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: of that arena, Camper Arena. I don't even remember. You

918
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: saw it. Wow, that's cool. I saw him. Yeah, I'll

919
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: do it. I've seen a bunch of ship man. I

920
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: was at the I was mild High Stadium Untirell Davis

921
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: had his season engine ending injury. Unfortunately. I saw that.

922
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: I've been going to games forever, um. So that's how

923
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: I became a Kevin Durant fan. Okay, cool, cool, I'm

924
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 1: you know, like I was. You know, I'm a you know,

925
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: a basketball flick. You're a little bit that goes without saying,

926
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:43,720
Speaker 1: that goes without far and say, you don't have to

927
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: the state the obvious. Okay, uh, you know you don't

928
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: have to state the obvious. You get it to me

929
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: in the beginning. Jesus Christ, I'm just having a little

930
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: fun with you. Relaxed, but we're gonna hatch you. No,

931
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: all right, let's just jump into it. Okay, Well, what's

932
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: the deal with you? Because because I feel like you

933
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: know where this is going, and I know where it's going.

934
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: I tried a boy didn't get here. Let's melk it

935
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. Let's talk about the last bucking the

936
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: Golden State Warrior game. How much fun was that game?

937
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: And were you are you on the road or are

938
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,479
Speaker 1: you watching that at home? I watched that at home

939
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: and it killed me because, okay, see had them beat

940
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: and they lost their composure with about four and a

941
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: half miss left. They got so freaked out that the

942
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: Warriors were still there and they were up by seven,

943
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: and they started playing like they went down by seven.

944
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 1: And what I loved about watching the Warriors was they

945
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: the whole time that they you know, how how much Okay,

946
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 1: so he got up by like what fourteen fifteen, maybe

947
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: even more than that. That game, they just they just

948
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: kept They never rushed, the guys, didn't just start like,

949
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, taking stupid shots whatever. They just kept playing

950
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 1: that game, and it just I think it freaked them out.

951
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: They you know what I learned that this that obviously

952
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: if they win games seven, I'm completely wrong. But they

953
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: still look like they like a year away. And what

954
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: the Warriors did to the Okay Sees fan base reminded

955
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: me of eighties era Celtics Lakers and nineties era Bulls

956
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: teams where they just they loved going on the road

957
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: and just loved ripping the heart out of it. It

958
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,919
Speaker 1: was like almost better to win on the road. I mean,

959
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: that was devastation, man. That was That was the last

960
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: time I heard silence like that leaving the stadium. I

961
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: went to an L s U Alabama game and uh

962
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: in baton Rouge and L s U had the game one,

963
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 1: and they started playing Marty Ball, and and uh staving

964
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,240
Speaker 1: in Alabama came back at one through hundred thousand people

965
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 1: walking out of it. You could have heard a pin drop.

966
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: Even the Alabama fans were being quiet, being like, well,

967
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: we shouldn't talk ship now because these people are so devastated,

968
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: and that all you heard was the feat of people

969
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: walking out. Do you what do you? What's your prediction

970
00:53:56,239 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: for Game seven? I would never write anybody you off,

971
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: but like I would be surprised if O Casey comes

972
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: back from that. I'm gonna give you what everybody's saying

973
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: is the series is over. Um, but you never know, man,

974
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: You never fucking no, it's been loose. They looked in

975
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: Game four, they were fucking dancing in the tunnel. They

976
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: were having a great time. They can somehow get back

977
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: in that min It's not like the Warriors are better

978
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: than them. It's just it's just that they know how

979
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: to fucking win. That's the biggest goddamn thing, the biggest thing.

980
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: When you watch the San Diego Charges, I remember they

981
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: had as beating a playoff game, the Patriots, your favorite

982
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: fucking team. They had his beat. They stopped us on

983
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: fourth down and they took up like an unnecessary roughness

984
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: call away from the play and it was just like

985
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: Gages Christ I couldn't even feel good about the victory.

986
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: It was just so pathetic the way they gave the

987
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: game away. And I don't know that's uh, that's my

988
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: ESPN sound bite right there. I'll tell you right now. Well,

989
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: that's what separates the champions. They know how to win. Now,

990
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: let's let let's just go get to it. Okay, your

991
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: guy won't let up. I have to tell you. The

992
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: other day, I was listening to someone with my guy,

993
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: who are you talking about? You know what I'm talking abo,

994
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about old blue eyes. I'm talking about Tom Brady.

995
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Tom Brady, and I'm talking about But

996
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: the funny thing I can't I don't know who these

997
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: guys were. Does what color isides? They're blue? Right? What

998
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: are they? Aquamari? You don't know you're staring too his

999
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: blue eyes? I know you have a poster on your roll,

1000
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: all right, that making fun? At least here a minute

1001
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: that you stare at something. Now. I heard two lunatics

1002
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 1: on sports radio, high end, well paid people having the

1003
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: exact same conversation that you and me have had. And

1004
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 1: I and I was actually I was doing my girl

1005
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: and I said this, this conversation is so dumb because

1006
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: this is going nowhere and and and the Tom Brady

1007
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: getting suspended, not getting suspended, deflating the football. Now it's

1008
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 1: going to turn into He's he's gonna lose this one.

1009
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: The reason why he won't even in appeals. The reason

1010
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: why he won the first one was the first one.

1011
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: He was arguing basically whether or not there was enough

1012
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: evidence to proof that he cheated. And I knew from

1013
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: day one if that ever went to a court, it

1014
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: would be laughed out. I mean the judge almost yelled

1015
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 1: at the commissioner, They're like, why you wasted my time

1016
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: with it. So then what the NFL did smartly is

1017
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: they regrouped and they changed what they were taking um

1018
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: them to court for now. Now, what the case is

1019
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: about is whether or not a corporation has the right

1020
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: to suspend an employee, which is completely different, and I

1021
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: totally agree with that. I mean, even though Brady has

1022
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: to fall on the knife here, you can't have the

1023
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: nuts running the nuthouse because they're going to spend so

1024
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: much goddamn money in court, because if if they let

1025
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: Brady go what they're going, then they're gonna have everybody

1026
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: every time they get suspended, and then god forbid the

1027
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: next time if it's a black quarterback, you know, the

1028
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: whole race thing. Oh what I can't. I can't do it,

1029
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm black and you like the the

1030
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: white boy asked, are not looking guy off? So I

1031
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: agree with it because this this time back around, I

1032
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: agree that that a corporation has the right to suspend

1033
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: that player. You can't have the workers running the league

1034
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: or else you have chaos. I actually agree with this

1035
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: with the reason why they're upholding this suspension. I'm so

1036
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: over As much as I like to break Tom Brady's

1037
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: balls and this whole thing, I'm so fucking over this ship.

1038
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: It's it's it's so pathetic that it's still going on

1039
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: and still being talked about, and and the argument and

1040
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: and and the right. I think you just I understand why.

1041
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason why he won't walk with the

1042
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: same reason why he's been to six Super Bowls is

1043
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: because he can't shut it off. But I think at

1044
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: this point you just walk, You say the hell with it. Um,

1045
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: I can't tell you he was a sports fan, like

1046
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,959
Speaker 1: watching the end of the wrap up between Okay see

1047
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,479
Speaker 1: in Golden State Warriors and they so shock in two

1048
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,959
Speaker 1: thousand two when they beat Sacramento and they're going, yeah,

1049
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 1: we won know James stuff. And it's like, dude, there

1050
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: was a locked up ref. I admitted that he through

1051
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: that thing. And then and now they're talking about it

1052
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: like like that whole thing was on the up and

1053
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: up left. The Lakers literally have a banner up there

1054
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: that possibly should be hanging in Sacramento or wherever else.

1055
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not the Laker's fault. Like when I

1056
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,479
Speaker 1: when I'm watching my guy getting his balls fucking raked

1057
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: over the Colts for eight months all the way through

1058
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: the baseball season over air pressure, and you see, uh

1059
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: fucking Peyton Manning goes to the Super Bowl after his

1060
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: wife had h g H delivered to the house. He

1061
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: goes through two weeks the Super Bowl media, they don't

1062
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: even bring it up. That's That's when I sit there

1063
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: at this point, I'm going, look, dude, this is beyond,

1064
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, gamesmanship. This is beyond an issue of cheating.

1065
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: Like somewhere along the line, like Craft or somebody over there,

1066
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: Belichick had a fallen out with somebody I don't know,

1067
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fun something happened that definitely happened.

1068
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: Something I totally. Like we got busted, dude for heating

1069
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: up the ball. They got busted doing it, and they

1070
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: they're fine. Was seventy five grand, that's it. We lost

1071
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: our quarterback for a quarter of this season, We got

1072
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: over a million dollar fine, and we got a number

1073
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: of draft picks. Now, granted, part of that is because

1074
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 1: we also we got busted at the spy gate, so

1075
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a repeat offender things so like so that

1076
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: that part of it is that. But like, you know,

1077
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: seventy five grand, that did? I mean, I don't know now,

1078
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: I I hear. I think it's I think it's an embarrassment,

1079
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: and I agree. I think that something happened. Somebody banged

1080
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: somebody's girl, that was a bad business decision, some of

1081
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: there was an investment, somebody was supposed to clean the

1082
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: pool in somebody's house after that, some ship happened, or

1083
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: or it's because good Dell fucked up the Ray Rice

1084
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: situation and he's trying to make amends to it. But

1085
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: I think that I'm trying to seem like a hardass. Now.

1086
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, when he gives somebody two games

1087
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: for knocking out there fiance and dragging it down the

1088
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: hall like a sack of potatoes. And then the video

1089
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: comes out here like, oh, we didn't see that. The

1090
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: funk out of he didn't see that, um, and then

1091
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: they go, oh, we meant suspended and definitely like I

1092
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: just feel like after that, UM, because it was so

1093
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: early on in his tenure that he just he just

1094
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of wigged out. I have I don't. I have

1095
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: no idea, but I can tell you this, I don't

1096
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: give a ship anymore. UM. And I kind of like

1097
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: arrested piste off Tom Brady coming in Game five. I

1098
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: gotta admit I like it too, because because as much

1099
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: as I can't stand the Patriots and that ship, I

1100
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: love his tenacity and I love his competitive way. Aren't

1101
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: you a Giants fan? Yeah, I'm a Giants fan, but

1102
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: I I hate us. I would say I hate you,

1103
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,920
Speaker 1: but I love when the Yankees used to hate the

1104
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Red Sox when I was growing up. I'm like, what

1105
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: do we haven't do you? Now? I know you're a

1106
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: baseball fan, and I'm gonna bring us back to baseball,

1107
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna I'm gonna bring about the basketball,

1108
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna leave you alone to go create

1109
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 1: and do what you do. If you had to bet

1110
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: the house and you got a nice fucking house, who's

1111
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna win. It's fucking nice over there. Okay, they're doing construction,

1112
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 1: the upgrading, like everything earned into it. I bought it,

1113
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: and I'm concerned that I haven't gotten invited back. That's

1114
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: a whole other conversation. The thing that I tell you

1115
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: something when when I bought this house, all right, man,

1116
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the right sports team. What well, what

1117
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: a good sports team that was never winning? Ship? And

1118
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 1: then they got like the Patriots. When I bought this house,

1119
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: this fucking house was like the New England Patriots in

1120
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: when that guy who had the fucking electric shavers. I

1121
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: liked it so much I bought the company. Remember when

1122
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: he fucking ran the team. Yeah, yeah, that's what this

1123
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: house was. Now it's nice. If you saw it before,

1124
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: you could actually sticky a fucking Boston Hayton giant head

1125
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: through the walls and you could have seen the clock

1126
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: wiring and a like ship show. I had a ghastly

1127
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: here ship show. So I'm adults, Like, what was that

1128
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: game you played the wonder ball? If you held the

1129
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: ball at the end of the song. You were out

1130
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: after a hundred years of people living in this house.

1131
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 1: I got I got help. I got left holding the

1132
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: ball buys this house. He's gonna think it's immaculate, but

1133
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk away Olympic. No, I did the right

1134
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: thing for this structure. You'll be good. You'll be good

1135
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 1: because you upgraded that ship. But here's a question. You

1136
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: had to bet the house the now new immaculum Bilber estates,

1137
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking at a whole in the wall. I

1138
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: still have to get passed up. As you're saying you

1139
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: did that to you? What did you bang your fucking

1140
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: head through the wall or was it a fist or

1141
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: like throw something that's you? You can't blame. I was replacing.

1142
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: I was replacing pipe that was leaking. It's uh galvan

1143
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: ie pipe. It's all nice and brass, just like the balls.

1144
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: You have to talk down to me, knowing what city

1145
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm from. But go ahead, who's gonna win a championship

1146
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 1: or a World Series? First? My Nicks or the Chicago Cubs?

1147
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: And I know the Cubs are doing well, and I

1148
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: know you followed baseball more if you had to bet

1149
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: everything long term now because because the Knicks ain't winning

1150
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 1: the championship in the next two or three years. We're

1151
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: just not. But if you had to bet everything knowing

1152
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: the kind of spooked out, Well, now what you said that,

1153
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Cubs. But what I was

1154
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna say is that that's a really hard one because

1155
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,479
Speaker 1: both of you got Phil Jackson, who is the king

1156
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: of amassing free agents. I'm getting this guy in his

1157
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: respect because when he came to the Bowls, he was

1158
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: just former Nick Phil Jackson. He became Phil Jackson there.

1159
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: And why I always say Jordan is better than Kobe

1160
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: is because Kobe won six with Luke Longley in in

1161
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: in uh fucking Bill Cartwright as a center. Ya'm saying Jordan, Yes, sorry.

1162
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: And the only like major free agent signing they had

1163
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: during that whole run I can really remember with Dennis Rock.

1164
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: You know, everything else was draft picks and just guys

1165
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: like you know, Steve Herr and ship like that. Um,

1166
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: but I said, you got to Phil Jackson and then

1167
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: what's his face? The Cubs got up boy, theo Epstein,

1168
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: And I think theo Epstein is on a mission because

1169
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: after we won in two thousand four, if you remember,

1170
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: he all of a sudden was gonna they were renegotiating.

1171
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he was gonna lead. And then

1172
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: he came back and then he left. I think what

1173
01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: happened was there that you know, that was a huge curse,

1174
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: the whole curse of the bath thing to end, and

1175
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: everybody wants it. Was like there was a hit TV

1176
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: show and everyone was trying to get this stink on it.

1177
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: And I think he ended up fucking leaving and he's

1178
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: not with the Cubs, And if he ends the curse

1179
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: of the Babe and then the curse of the goat Ship,

1180
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: I feel like he wins. So I feel like that

1181
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: guy has really driven, considering he's less since he's left,

1182
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: we won two more times, I believe. I don't think

1183
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: he was there. Maybe he was there for O seven.

1184
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I'm an old man, but you know,

1185
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a baseball guy. I know you know your

1186
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: baseball ship. I don't know fucking ship. I know. I know. Look, dude,

1187
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: I I kind of went when when Big Poppy tested

1188
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: positive for something. At that point, I just tapped out

1189
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: as a baseball fan because I was so sick of

1190
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: cheering Ship on that and then four years later they

1191
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: were going, Yeah, that didn't really count, and it's just like, look,

1192
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: either make the ship legal, we'll get it out of

1193
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: the game. So can you just repeat that one more time?

1194
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: You said, just say it loud and clear when Big

1195
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: Hoppy got tested for for taking, so I could just

1196
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: say that one more time. I think there was an

1197
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: out positive for something. And then they never did any

1198
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: like follow up to it. I just said fuck it

1199
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: and I walked away from the game. Now can you

1200
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: say this with me? We are roided up, guys. Beat

1201
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: your rolled it up. Guys. I don't know what you're

01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: like a Rod hits his six hundredth home run, where

1210
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: does this put him with the all time break? They

Speaker 1: came in here and had to vet the whole place out.

1310

Speaker 1: You know her from so many things, starting with two

1317
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: who's also a big time basketball fan, although because she

1318
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 1: she has a little bit of an ankle thing, she

1319
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: hasn't been paying attention to the to the game just closely.

1320
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised, I know, even though even

1321
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: though we're we're good friends, Regina, I don't know, nor

1322
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: do I care if you've ever listened to the Iron

1323
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: Rapports Stereo Pockets. But one of the things that we

1324
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: live by is that we don't fact check. So whether

1325
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 1: you know the stats are not, it means nothing. Okay,

1326
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: so you can you can have watched one of the

1327
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: three games. I don't give a ship the fact that

01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: you're even here, that I'm talking to you right now.

1329

Speaker 1: Poetic justice. We got we we I I mean shit,

1330
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: I didn't even name, like how many TV shows are

1331
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: you on? Now? What about higher learning? Higher learning? But

1332
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 1: I met you before that, I met you, and also

1333
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: I think that you might have been made you while

1334
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,600
Speaker 1: justice at the premier No, no, no, I'll tell me.

1335
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 1: I think the first I think the first time I

1336
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: might I couldn't have been the first time I met you,

1337
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: because I feel like I met you and like fanned

1338
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: out on you somewhere before Poetic Justice, after higher Learning,

1339
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, after Boys in the Hood. Where in the

1340
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: modern era. I'm sure in the seventies it was done.

1341
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 1: You brought the braids with the new millennium neck roll

1342
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: back into mainstream culture. I think like when you played

01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 1: your character in Boys in the Hood, like you might

1344
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: have brought like you you might like because I remember

1345
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: thinking like who the fund is this? This is not

1346
01:13:52,040 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: an act? Like who is this chick? And then somehow

1347

Speaker 1: Rapports stereo podcast. I don't get a lot of female

1357
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: energy in here. Okay, it's usually it's usually just a

1358
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: lot of dudes talking a lot of ships. I've got

1359
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 1: to represent. Well, it's just well, look you said that, Um,

1362
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 1: a lot, there's a lot that we've got to cover.

1363
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I have a lot of questions. But you brought up

1364
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 1: the Poetic Justice rap party, and I distinctly remember this.

1365
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: I distinctly remember this about the Poetic Justice rap party,

1366
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: aside from seeing Snoop Dogg for the first time. Um,

1367
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: and I was. I was. I was definitely like grouping

1368
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: out around Poetic Justice because I was at the read

1369
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: through and there was so much excitement about with Janet.

1370
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember the read through. I got into a

1371
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: car accident. Remember that's why I was late. I got

1372
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 1: into the car accident. And the girl that played the

1373
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: one who had the baby with uh, I can't guess

1374
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: lucky lucky babies. She read, she read my part while

1375
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I was dealing with the cops and the police. I

1376
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: remember that, but I remember I was like, you know,

1377
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: it's like I had like a blink part in that

1378
01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 1: I was the first motherfucker at the read through. I

1379
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: was like, I want to sit here. And I remember

1380
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: sitting right next like they had the names out and

1381
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: I remember seeing right next to where and they were like,

1382
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: you can't sit there. You're you're sucking. You're the mailman,

1383
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: and like seeing like you can't sit in that seat.

1384
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 1: But I was so excited to be a partner. Was big.

1385
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: I was excited too because there was so much anticipation

1386
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: around Janet Jackson and and the Tupac factor. I think

1387
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,760
Speaker 1: for us, I think for me and you though it

1388
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,759
Speaker 1: wasn't really so much the Janet Is as much as

1389
01:15:56,800 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: the Tip and Pop factor, and they were in Yeah,

1390
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean to meet Tip. I was like, oh my god.

1391
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: I was dealing with all of that stuff that was

1392
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: going on with the car accident, but right cute Tip

1393
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: was in that movie. But I remember at the Poetic

1394
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Justice rap party distinctly you telling the d J to

1395
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: play a song which turned out to be Jamaican funk.

1396
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: Jamaican Funk and you and Tupac dancing, but it was

1397
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: it just looked like you guys just were soul mates

1398
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: and like friends. Like I just remember like it didn't

1399
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: look like I don't know what this extent of your

1400
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: relationship was, but I was like, these two people really

1401
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: have an affection for each other. And I remember you

1402
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: guys dancing to that song, and I just just like,

1403
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: I just remember seeing that. I was like going heightened

1404
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 1: alert that night because like I meant, you know, Snoop

1405
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,599
Speaker 1: and ice Cube was there, and it was just such

1406
01:16:46,600 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: a special time and it was I think it's with you.

1407
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: You're so excited and exuberant. So to ask my first

1408
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: question Tupac Port, because what do you remember about him?

1409
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Like what what was it like working with him? And

1410
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: like what what was he like? He was just so real.

1411
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: Like it's funny because you know, not to keep going

1412
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: back to the revisiting in the same place, but that

1413
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: was a space and time in our lives. When the

1414
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: read through, uh four Poetic Justice first happened, you know,

1415
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the read through, when we read

1416
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: it over and I actually did the part um, you know,

1417
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: Tip asked me, you know, do you need to ride.

1418
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Do you need because you know, everybody knew that the

1419
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: accident it happened, And and then Poc asked me, did

1420
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: I need to ride? And I was like, tip shot,

1421
01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 1: and I just felt like I love Tip. He's two tips.

1422
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean, tribical question is one of my favorite is

1423
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 1: probably top my number one favorite rap group of all time.

1424
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: You know, but Pack and I are about to do

1425
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: this movie together, so it's probably best to go in

1426
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: bond with him. So I took the ride from Poc

1427
01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: and that you have to go to drivers driving, Okay, yeah, yeah,

1428
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: And um that's all she wrote. We just totally connected.

1429
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 1: I mean, it was honestly the one I we slept

1430
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: together and never slept together like that's how just you know,

1431
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: we would curse each other out right, we would, you know,

1432
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 1: love each other up, you know. But that was he was.

1433
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: He was like a brother, like a best friend, like

1434
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: a and just so honest, like honest to a flaw.

1435
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: That's cool and and and and what about um, you

1436
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 1: you told me earlier to night before we started podcasting

1437
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: that there's some sort of I mean, you mentioned it's

1438
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: anniversary of the year twenty five years ago. Boys in

1439
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: the Hood came out. I mean when you when you

1440
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 1: made that movie, I know you had been you had

1441
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: been a child actress. Did you have any fucking idea

1442
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: that it was going to be good and that it

1443
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: would even be discussed twenty five years ago? And it's

1444
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 1: so iconic and there's so much, so much spawn from

1445
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 1: that Singleton spawn from it in a way you spawned

1446
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 1: from a Fishburn, Angela Bassi, j Morris, Chestnut, ice Cube,

1447
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Cuba Gooding. I mean, they're just nia long. You know.

1448
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: It was the revitalization of Fishburn's career as an adults,

1449
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: as an as like a great adult actor. Um did

1450
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 1: you have like did you think you were making some

1451
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: like little hood movie or did you believe in it?

1452
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Or I mean, you know, I don't know that I

1453
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: thought that it could be like I thought that it

1454
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 1: could or couldn't be on the level that it is now.

1455
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it's something that's actually like looked at in

1456
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 1: schools and study you know, um part of you know,

1457
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:50,679
Speaker 1: sociology or anthropology classes or whatever. But um, I did

1458
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: feel like it was something special. You know, there was

1459
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 1: that there was that feeling of and you know, maybe

1460
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: it might have been just so many of us together

1461
01:20:02,240 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: doing something we had never done before. And you have

1462
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: that many people with that same experience that becomes palpable

1463
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: that energy. So that could have been part of it too,

1464
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, and and would you have ever predicted I mean,

1465
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: obviously you knew, everybody knew he was talented a rapper,

1466
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 1: because I you never would have thought that ice Cube

1467
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: we become such a ginormous household name. I don't want

1468
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:28,160
Speaker 1: to say crossover because I don't believe in that term,

1469
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: but if you're talking about ice Cube from n W eight,

1470
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 1: that's really crossover. Like this shows you how stuff works.

1471
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 1: It's the craziest ship cut to. However, many years later,

1472
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: um doing Boondogs, and um, you know a lot of

1473
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,719
Speaker 1: some subject matter in the Boondogs came up from actual

1474
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: conversations that will go on and Aaron mcgruder's life and

1475
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,600
Speaker 1: other producers on the show experienced that, and you know,

1476
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: like a lot of great shows, that's where a lot

1477
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: of the material comes from. And I was telling Aaron,

1478
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: I can't remember what movie was out by ice Que

1479
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: And I told my son that he used to be

1480
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 1: a gangster rapper and he was like the dude from

1481
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 1: what you call it was like, you know, are we

1482
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,679
Speaker 1: there yet? It was something like that, and I was like, yeah,

1483
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 1: he used to being played in w A and he

1484
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: was the lord. So that actually became a line for Riley. Okay, okay,

1485
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 1: now the boondocks is I mean, I listen, this isn't

1486
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: the full Monty Regina King intervice. So you know, I'm

1487
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: not even gonna get it. I'm picking and choosing my ship.

1488
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: I want to stay NBA focused. I haven't got to NBA.

1489
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,440
Speaker 1: We haven't even gotten to the NBA. I've been courtside

1490
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: to NBA games. I think two games you and I

1491
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: have went. There was there was one. There was one

1492
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: game where I had something to eat. Uh that didn't

1493
01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 1: uh didn't work with my psyche. Yes, we had something

1494
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:58,280
Speaker 1: to eat and that we wanted. Leaving courtside, I remember

1495
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: that the yellow on the court was bright yellow and

1496
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: the purple on the court was real purple, and I

1497
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: remember just being like it was a slow burn. It

1498
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 1: was a slow burn. It was a slow burn, and

1499
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 1: thank God for our youth, Thank God for our youth.

1500
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:15,799
Speaker 1: And we got out of there, and then I mean, whatever,

1501
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: that that's that's a whole, that's doing the full monthy

1502
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: visit that. That's the full Monty Reginia King interview, which

1503
01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: which is is totally overdue. But you've been All Star Game,

1504
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: you're an NBA fan. Yes, we've both brought our kids,

1505
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean our kids to we've been had All Star

1506
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: games when we were not parents, and All Star games

1507
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: as parents with our kids when we were like, I

1508
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: got to go because as fun as they are, it's

1509
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 1: almost like you, there's fun, but there's a price to

1510
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,519
Speaker 1: be paid. Like you can't like All Star Game usually

1511
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: like it ends on a Sunday. You don't want to

1512
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: have anything to do on Wednesday. You want to, like

1513
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: almost a full week to recover just from that. The

1514
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: hustle and bustle and craziness and excitement of being a fan.

1515
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: Forget if you're you're participant of it, but if you're like,

1516
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: it's just the fandom of it, and I mean talk

1517
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 1: about the freaks come out at night. You also, I

1518
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 1: remember you you went to All Star Game in Vegas, right,

1519
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: and you've been to a handful of All Star games.

1520
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: Was the All Star Game in Vegas is fucking because

1521
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: I didn't go. I don't know why it didn't go.

1522
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: It was not. The freaks don't come out at night.

1523
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: The freaks come out to play seven. You get the

1524
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 1: real pimps in. And I did not go to the

1525
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: actual game because by the time we got to that day,

1526
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 1: we were like, you know what, enough and we stayed

1527
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: in the hotel room and watch that ship. You'd had enough,

1528
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:37,559
Speaker 1: I mean the pimps. I mean, if you think that

1529
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: pimping doesn't exist in America, go to an NBA All

1530
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Star game. That was our last All Star game too,

1531
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: you had enough. You haven't been since. Yeah, I get it,

1532
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,599
Speaker 1: I get it. But the but the direk, the good,

1533
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: the bad, and and and everything in between shows up

1534
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: at an All Star Game. And if you think, like

1535
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 1: if you like we live in l A and New

1536
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: York and we're kind of sheltered the middle of the country.

1537
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: They all come from from all the spots, from from

1538
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: the dark corners of every every hood, every every and

1539
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking about white black I'm talking about

1540
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful a reality show, and it's it's un

1541
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a documentary about All Star Game.

1542
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: We could because I always just and I want to

1543
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: go up to people and be like two questions, who

1544
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: are you and what the funk are you doing here?

1545
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 1: Because I know you're not going to the game right

1546
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:28,840
Speaker 1: like you have that out where did you drive down?

1547
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: How did you get here? How did you get here?

1548
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Like your paperwork clear? Like how well bust. I'm really

1549
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,479
Speaker 1: curious about how this pass All Star game win in

1550
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Toronto because a lot of people had to have passports,

1551
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure eliminated. They probably eliminated a lot of interesting

1552
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 1: material that it might not have been as great as

1553
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: an All Star game. I bet I can almost bet

1554
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,719
Speaker 1: that it was not as dynamic. I totally agree, didn't

1555
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: have that genesee quas yes, that in factors that an

1556
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: All Star will game will happen. All right, So let

01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: iconic actress with a sex symbol quality. You have a

1563
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: long longevity. So I know how these ballplayers are. They

1564
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: must be excited to see you, just as excited as

1565
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: you you are to meet them as a fan. So

1566
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: over the years, who has been your favorite players to

1567
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: meet that it went well? You were just like this

1568
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 1: fucking guy as cool as ship. Oh. I can't really

1569
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 1: think of one that I've met that wasn't cool. I

1570
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: know I've hung out with me and you were both

1571
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 1: at once. I think it was a New Year's party

1572
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: at Shack's house. I was about to say Shack and

1573
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 1: Chauncey Billips cool probably the two that and honestly, all

1574
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: of them that I've met, they've always been cool cats,

1575
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: But I would say those are two would probably be

1576
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 1: the two whose energy seems to be congruent with mine.

1577
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: That's a good word. They're too congruent. You pull that one.

1578
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: That's a podcast word here. But no, when when Shack,

1579
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was a New Year's party, and

1580
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: I know you were. I have pictures, not great pictures

1581
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,080

1582
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,840
Speaker 1: during his years with the Lakers, I mean, he really

1583
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 1: embraced the sort of welcoming factors like he had these

1584
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 1: fucking parties. They were so over the top, and and Shack,

1585
01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: I love the ship out of you. I love you

1586
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 1: hard body karate, but the TACKI factor at the party,

1587
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean, but it was like rappers, Jessica Simpson was

1615
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,559
Speaker 1: we got plenty of rings and things. Um, I feel

1616
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 1: like we've got pretty a lot of rings and things.

1617
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 1: We are the original dynasty, like the only other team

1618
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 1: are can argue as Boston UM, And I feel like

1619
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,839
Speaker 1: we're in a place space of rebuilding. I'm a true

1620
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 1: I'm not a fair weather fan. I'm a true fan.

1621
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 1: You know when shot you know, was dealt away. You know,

1622
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 1: I did not leave the Lakers. It's the name on

1623
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: the front of the jersey, not on the back. I

1624
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: believe purple and gold. So that being said, it's been

1625
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 1: brutal also, not not just the foot. Maybe there's a

1626
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:45,680
Speaker 1: lot of my disinterests in NBA over the past two

1627
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 1: years and this season especially it's really hard to watch.

1628
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,040
Speaker 1: It's really hard to watch, and and and but that

1629
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 1: last Jazz Lakers game, it was great to see Kobe

1630
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 1: at that game. I watched that game. You do you

1631
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 1: know much those tickets were listen, you're Regina King Regina

1632
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: if you were like if you would put it out,

1633
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean not the way I said. I'm a true fan.

1634
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in the true fans seats. So you're

1635
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 1: a fan, But you want to be sitting in the

1636
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: in the night and they give me the two hundreds

1637
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: or something. You want to be on the wood. You

1638
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:22,599
Speaker 1: want to be on that what's you experience that would

1639
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that that game. I mean being

1640
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,479
Speaker 1: on the sitting on the court side. I'm in here

1641
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: with a woman that game. I wouldn't have even had

1642
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: to be courtside, like I said, to just to be

1643
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 1: in the arena just that would have been one. To

1644
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:35,800
Speaker 1: be in the area in the true fan seats though,

1645
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: that would have been a nunhouse. Yeah, because I mean

1646
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,880
Speaker 1: it was everything. I mean as far as Laker like fans,

1647
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: like it was banana. They went they went crazy. I

1648
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: mean at least they didn't riot like it was like

1649
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 1: all he's retiring. It's not the end of the world.

1650
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 1: He's Kobe, I mean big. Okay, um so so so

1651
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,640
Speaker 1: bringing it to now because you told me earlier that

1652
01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 1: you're such a Laker fan that you'll root for it

1653
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 1: once the Lakers are oute, you root for who's ever

1654
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:04,240

1659
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:20,519
Speaker 1: because I will say this, for the past few years,

1660
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 1: Lakers have been what they've been. I've been rooting for

1661

Speaker 1: Golden State before the Clippers. Okay, so that's not totally true,

1713
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: your show. I was really truly impressed with you and

1714
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 1: higher learning. We didn't get to have any scenes together,

1715
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:15,559
Speaker 1: so I didn't get to see what I think we had,

1716
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:18,680
Speaker 1: like one scene in our character. They didn't even interact

1717
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 1: at the party, right, But so when I saw the

1718
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,120
Speaker 1: movie and saw what you did, I was like, this

1719
01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:29,519

1720
01:33:29,520 --> 01:33:32,519

1721
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,000
Speaker 1: the record, for the record, because it works that way.

1722
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:36,839
Speaker 1: You know, it works that way a lot of times

1723
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: that we can be in a project together, but you

1724
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 1: don't work with someone absolutely absolutely, But I want to know.

1725
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you've worked with so many actors, men and women,

1726
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,679
Speaker 1: so many different age rings, just so many different people,

1727
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:53,080
Speaker 1: like who do you remember? Were you Just because I've

1728
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:55,600
Speaker 1: had a handful of moment where you're across from somebody

1729
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 1: and they're almost so good they take you out of

1730
01:33:57,920 --> 01:33:59,840
Speaker 1: it just for a moment where you're like right, like

1731
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 1: somehow sometimes how the Lakers are when they're playing and

1732
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: watching Kobe and still being in the game. You could

1733
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 1: just be so good, like play the game right. That

1734
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: was a good pass, like where you're where you where

1735
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,200
Speaker 1: you were in a scene with a person where you

1736
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:14,400

1741
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 1: I and it was a moment like it was one

1742
01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: of those type of moments. Are you enjoying doing The Leftovers?

1743
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 1: I enjoy everything that I do. I don't really agree

1744
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:40,799

1800
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 1: that argument. You know, I can't. It would be nice

1801
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: to see that again and to see Golden State, you know,

1802
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,639
Speaker 1: pull that off. Everybody was counting Golden State out two

1803
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: games ago, saying that there's no way that they could

1804
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 1: be where they are at this game seven. Well what

1805
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 1: do you think about that? Like, I mean, you're you're

1806
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 1: an actress. You know, you get fucking I mean, actors

1807
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 1: get it bad, but actresses you get fucking pulled through

1808
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 1: the fucking ringer. Now, not everybody is your age and

1809
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 1: then sort of looks like they've frozen in time. And

1810
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,920
Speaker 1: that's a component because you look fantastic. But you know,

1811
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,679
Speaker 1: as women get older, you know, but I mean, people

1812
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:24,360
Speaker 1: still have a ship to say there's I mean, you

1813
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 1: know we can is no matter what if you somebody

1814
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 1: thinks you don't look fantastic, or somebody thinks you're not

1815
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 1: a good actress, somebody you know, funk everybody. No, I mean,

1816
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds fund up, but no,

1817
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:39,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound but but but what I was going

1818
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 1: to bring it to was like the we were just saying,

1819
01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:44,960
Speaker 1: like three days ago, Steph Curry was and it was

1820
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: like it was done. He was a fluke. It was lynsanity.

1821
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: It was a joke. I mean, what is that? What

1822
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:54,200
Speaker 1: the fuck is that that? You know what I mean?

1823
01:38:54,439 --> 01:38:58,720
Speaker 1: I think I think that unfortunately, there's such a big,

1824
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 1: big population of people that think or feel better when

1825
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 1: somebody else is not doing well. You know, And in

1826
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: addition to the fact that it gives you us, it

1827
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 1: puts ship on the ticker at the bottom, right you

1828
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,880
Speaker 1: need for people to talk about um that that that's

1829
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 1: all that is. It hypes it up even more so

1830
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:28,640
Speaker 1: when he beats the all of that those odds, it

1831
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,640
Speaker 1: makes for even a better story. You know. That's the

1832
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 1: only thing that I could can make sense out of,

1833
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of those reporters or

1834
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: whatever that are are analysts that have that ship to

1835
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 1: say they know all the stats, they're looking at the

1836
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,720
Speaker 1: ship that we're not looking at. They're just saying that

1837
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:49,240
Speaker 1: they're just stirring the pot because it was it was,

1838
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 1: it was crazy. Maybe it's just because I'm just a fan.

1839
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: I just was like, this is what the fund did

1840
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 1: this guy did? He did he do something like all

1841
01:39:57,520 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's shipped and he's you know, this

1842
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 1: is a flu can he's over. I'm like, it's two

1843
01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:05,719
Speaker 1: or three bad. I mean, everybody's everybody, every stars happen.

1844
01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: And also that this kid is the greatest. I mean

1845
01:40:08,200 --> 01:40:12,640
Speaker 1: not just his sheer talent, but his family. His I

1846
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:16,120
Speaker 1: mean like he's almost he's like can he do wrong,

1847
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 1: any wrong? Like it's it's almost not real right right,

1848
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: especially in sports today, Like yeah, it was almost like

1849
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,839
Speaker 1: this is like after school spect. He's got pretty parents

1850
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,640
Speaker 1: that support him and loved him and then raised them

1851
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 1: well and and and and gave him hugs and told

1852
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,080

01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: waiting on him. He's not American. He's gonna ask for right, right, right?

1860
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:16,240
Speaker 1: back for the full Monty rooting for Golden State to

1861
01:41:16,520 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 1: get through. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna be tough to

1862
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:23,920
Speaker 1: get through Cleveland. That dude, Lebron comes through the paint

1863
01:41:23,960 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: like a fucking mac truck, like I would move out

1864
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 1: of the way, like I wouldn't take some of those fouls. Yeah. No, No,

1865
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 1: he's he's on some ship and you hate him. I

1866
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: don't hate him as a player, not as a player.

1867
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 1: I have to respect him, of course, I got I listen,

1868
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:44,680
Speaker 1: you think that I rooted for for for Michael Jordan's right,

1869
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, like people like I'm not gonna be hate shamed,

1870
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 1: like I don't like this motherfucker. I don't want him

1871
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 1: to win. I think that the people in Cleveland, they

1872
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:58,040
Speaker 1: need not to win because their existence will be still

1873
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 1: be confused. Winning a championship. They think they want it,

1874
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,800
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you Clevelanders, you don't want this, right,

1875
01:42:04,280 --> 01:42:06,240
Speaker 1: It'll fuck you up. You, you won't have anything to

1876
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 1: really live for and strive for, so you're better off

1877
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,880
Speaker 1: just being in that state of misery. Yeah to what

1878
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, don't be so confused, like I guarantee you'll be.

1879
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,360
Speaker 1: If they want not gonna, they'll be like a large

1880
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: percent of older people, they'll just die because it'll be like,

1881
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, they have nothing more to live for. Because

1882
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 1: they have a back to back. I mean, they because

1883
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,760
Speaker 1: they have a window. He ran am I in my

1884
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 1: bad they got back to back going to the final

1885
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 1: and they win, I mean they don't they will listen,

1886
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 1: I would be happy. I know Cleveland is a hard working,

1887
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: tough and it doesn't get more American than Cleveland, but

1888
01:42:38,880 --> 01:42:42,080
Speaker 1: I feel like they need to continue to lose. And

1889
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:44,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, just for me as a fan, one

1890
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 1: more year of Lebron's misery and frustration and confusion. I'm

1891
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:51,920
Speaker 1: not gonna say that I don't get off on but

1892
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:55,599
Speaker 1: it's kind of like when AI crossed Jordan's of course

1893
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 1: so so so, I mean it's like there's no hate

Speaker 1: Larry Bird was the fate of my fucking existence when

1899

01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 1: the world. You can't get tired of this. How crazy

1926
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 1: was Game six in Okay? See? I mean what what

1927
01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 1: what was that like? You've been to so many big games?

1928
01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 1: What was that arena like? What was the back and

1929
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:13,320
Speaker 1: forth like? And what was the what was in the

1930
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:16,360
Speaker 1: Simon and Garfuncle did that song the Sound of Silence?

1931
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,880
Speaker 1: Did you did you feel like that was emanating out

1932
01:45:18,920 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 1: of that arena after that game? Well, because what was

1933
01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: so crazy is because it just didn't look like it

1934
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:27,799
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. I mean it, I mean it really

1935
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 1: came together late for the Warriors. I mean they're down

1936
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 1: seven or eight, okay, see is in the bonus they

1937
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 1: lead the whole game. Steph was putting together a near

1938
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:45,200
Speaker 1: triple double, but he hadn't really gotten fully flammable yet,

1939
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:48,479
Speaker 1: so really all they had going with Clay. So I mean,

1940
01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:50,720
Speaker 1: it didn't look like we're going to get this this

1941
01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: epic comeback. But look, when you're in the moment, you

1942
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:56,560
Speaker 1: always think that's the best game I've ever seen, and

1943
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:58,040
Speaker 1: then you take a step back at the air and

1944
01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 1: hold on, wait a minute. I've been to some some

1945
01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: some really good playoff games over the years, but I mean,

1946
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: that's that's a top ten game for sure, maybe even

1947
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 1: a top five game. Um, it was, and and and

1948
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,719
Speaker 1: also just having you know, I've basically followed this Warrior's

1949
01:46:15,720 --> 01:46:17,760
Speaker 1: team around for the last two years. They've never been

1950
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 1: in this position where now they've played, you know, they're

1951
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 1: about to play their third straight elimination game, but three

1952
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 1: one down, one loss away from going home. They've never

1953
01:46:27,439 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 1: been in that position. So it was it was desperate,

1954
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 1: great comeback, play, shot making just I mean, I don't

1955
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:37,559
Speaker 1: even have the words to describe what what what he did?

1956
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 1: I feel like, I really feel like he's the He's

1957
01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:42,640
Speaker 1: he's the most underappreciated star in the NBA. We we

1958
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,920
Speaker 1: so rarely talk about how good he is, never talked

1959
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 1: about his defense, but just what he's capable of when

1960
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:54,000
Speaker 1: he gets going it. I mean, the shot making was ridiculous.

1961
01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:56,320
Speaker 1: He missed a few easy ones. He was even saying

1962
01:46:56,320 --> 01:46:58,439
Speaker 1: afterwards he should have he should have made third teen

1963
01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:00,400
Speaker 1: threason because he missed a couple of easy and early

1964
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,000
Speaker 1: Like just a degree of difficulty on some of that

1965
01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:06,719
Speaker 1: shooting was ridiculous. Do you think there's ever a possible

1966
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: I hate this whole um my team his team thing.

1967
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,519
Speaker 1: I hate it in all sports. I think, you know,

1968
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: in any team sports, this my team thing. I think

1969
01:47:15,240 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: it's just totally opposite of of of of saying it's

1970
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:22,600
Speaker 1: my team doesn't make sense. But based on the personalities

1971
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:26,479
Speaker 1: of Clay and Curry, and that Clay has emerged, you know,

1972
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 1: so much during this series, do you ever think that

1973
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,679
Speaker 1: there's a threat of Clay and Curry, you know, struggling

1974
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:35,000
Speaker 1: for the my team thing, like, based on what you

1975
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,600
Speaker 1: know about them. I really, I really don't not with

1976
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:40,439
Speaker 1: these guys. For one, Steph is not a guy to

1977
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 1: walk around and say this is my team and Clay

1978
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 1: is just Clay is a different dude. He really does

1979
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 1: not pay attention to what is being talked about. He

1980
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:52,640
Speaker 1: will not be listening to this podcast. He could not

1981
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 1: care he could not care less about what we all

1982
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: talk about. And so he's the last guy who's really

1983
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: looking or I mean, you know, some of some of

1984
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 1: my colleagues have been writing about this. In the last

1985
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:07,639
Speaker 1: day or so, after Game four, when they lost their

1986
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 1: down three one, Clay Thompson picked up USA Today and

1987
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:14,840
Speaker 1: started I don't know if he was seriously reading it,

1988
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 1: but just the whole the whole media is in the

1989
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,599
Speaker 1: locker room and he just starts reading the newspaper. They

1990
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: just suffered, you know, the worst loss this group has suffered. Basically,

1991
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: they're down three one. They're on the brink of a nonation,

1992
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: and and Clay is basically like reading the business section

1993
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 1: or the style section of USA. They he's he's a

1994
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,559
Speaker 1: different character. So I I just don't think he cares

1995
01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 1: about that stuff. I really don't. Well, I have to

1996
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:40,040
Speaker 1: correct you about one thing. Okay, you said he won't

1997
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: be listening to the podcast, and I can't guarantee you

1998
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 1: that he will be listening to the Iron Reports stereo podcasts.

1999
01:48:45,160 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 1: But this is a worldwide phenomenon and and I'm just saying,

2000
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: if you were going to make a bet, maybe bet

2001
01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:51,840
Speaker 1: the house. I don't know if you have a cat

2002
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: or dog. If you were betting your cat or dog,

2003
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:56,639
Speaker 1: I would bet that he might listen, because Mark Stein,

2004
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 1: this is a worldwide phenomenon, and you'd be surprised. We've

2005
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: had a couple of presidents listen, heads of state. Uh.

2006
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:05,760
Speaker 1: They don't like to admit it. Okay, So I'm not

2007
01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna say he's gonna admit it publicly. But I'm just saying,

2008
01:49:08,280 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 1: don't bet against it. That's all I'm saying. And the

2009
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 1: podcast in the world he's listening to this, this is

2010
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 1: probably it. Thank you, Thank you? All right. Now, let

2011
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: me ask you another question. Going into the press conference

2012
01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 1: or pregame conferences, press stuff for for Game seven or after,

2013
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:27,679
Speaker 1: what would I have to give you, uh to ask

2014
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:32,000
Speaker 1: k D and Westbrook about Curry being an underrated defender again? Now,

2015
01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 1: I could offer money. I could probably get you hooked

2016
01:49:34,880 --> 01:49:37,080
Speaker 1: up with a free cast for Mattress or a soft

2017
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,680
Speaker 1: ass iron Wrapport stereo podcast T shirt. I could get

2018
01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:43,160
Speaker 1: you some pizza. Better, I got a better idea. I mean,

2019
01:49:43,240 --> 01:49:45,680
Speaker 1: you work. You basically are part of the s n

2020
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:48,439
Speaker 1: NBA staff, Now, why don't we just get you a

2021
01:49:48,560 --> 01:49:52,880
Speaker 1: credential and you come to it? Donanta see? I want

2022
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 1: to see them answer that question from you. That's that's

2023
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 1: the mentality that I'm talking about now. That is what

2024
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:01,639
Speaker 1: I would like to hear because I am I want

2025
01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 1: to ask that question again and because I felt like

2026
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 1: that is that moment And I get it wasn't personal.

2027
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: I get the media can you know, and the podcast

2028
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 1: people and the and the internet can can all zero

2029
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: in on these things. But I feel like that moment

2030
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: if they lose, and I feel like they're gonna lose

2031
01:50:19,120 --> 01:50:21,679
Speaker 1: because I feel like I feel like the momentum is shifted.

2032
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: I feel like going into two Oracle to play this

2033
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 1: Game seven is gonna be as tough a win as

2034
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,160
Speaker 1: it was for the Warriors to win in in Okay.

2035
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:34,600
Speaker 1: See um, I think the momentum is has shifted. Now,

2036
01:50:34,680 --> 01:50:37,400
Speaker 1: I know you can't be biased, but what is your

2037
01:50:37,439 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 1: prediction for Game seven? Like, what do you think? First

2038
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 1: of all, what do you think it's it's it's gonna

2039
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 1: be like in that arena and it Second, what do

2040
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 1: you think the outcome is gonna be or can error?

2041
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 1: Is it so up? And down that you can't even

2042
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:49,479
Speaker 1: make a prediction at this point. Well let me say,

2043
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:50,920
Speaker 1: let me say this. First of all, you know, the

2044
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 1: Warriors crowd in the last couple of years has been

2045
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:58,799
Speaker 1: known as the loudest crowd in the league. But I'm sorry.

2046
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 1: I mean the noise in Oklahoma City the three games

2047
01:51:02,640 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 1: there was impressive. Really, you've felt it. You felt it

2048
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 1: more then you have Frankly at Oracle Arena. And this

2049
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:16,680
Speaker 1: happens when teams get really good and they win a lot.

2050
01:51:17,600 --> 01:51:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard for their fans to bring it

2051
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 1: every single night because they you know, they get spoiled.

2052
01:51:23,360 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 1: They get spoiled by the winning where I think, you know,

2053
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: the Thunder are are a hungry team because this group

2054
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 1: hasn't won at all. The fans in Oklahoma City, I mean,

2055
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 1: the Thunder is their identity. It's the only pro sports

2056
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: thing in town. I mean, that's why you know you're

2057
01:51:39,680 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 1: talking about the silence. They were crushed because you know,

2058
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:45,360
Speaker 1: they they the finals was in their hands and they've

2059
01:51:45,439 --> 01:51:48,920
Speaker 1: only been there one time. And I can't even imagine

2060
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 1: what winning a championship would do for those people. They're

2061
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 1: so proud and that's why, you know, keeping Durant and

2062
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 1: why everybody in Oklahoma City gets so touchy when we

2063
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: talk about Durant maybe going some or else because they

2064
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:05,160
Speaker 1: considered Durant to be one of their own. He's, you know,

2065
01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:07,880
Speaker 1: he's basically grown up there. He only played this the

2066
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:10,800
Speaker 1: one season in Seattle. I mean, he's he's such a

2067
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:14,040
Speaker 1: big part of their identity. So you know it's gonna

2068
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 1: be it's gonna be a great crowd. But you know,

2069
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:18,559
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see can the can the noise match

2070
01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:22,280
Speaker 1: what we just saw in Oklahoma City because I don't

2071
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:24,680
Speaker 1: even have I don't even have great words, but it

2072
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:26,760
Speaker 1: was it was. It was really really good. I mean,

2073
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:29,800
Speaker 1: you could you It was as intense a game as

2074
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:32,080
Speaker 1: I remember being at for Ages. I mean it was

2075
01:52:32,240 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: it was a battle that that's that's cool to hear. Now, Now,

2076
01:52:34,840 --> 01:52:38,120
Speaker 1: if okay See does win, Like, how excited are you

2077
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:42,000
Speaker 1: to shuttle back and forth to two ship holes? Uh?

2078
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,320
Speaker 1: Game after game? You could be okay See for a

2079
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:47,680
Speaker 1: couple of nights and then you go to Cleveland, you know,

2080
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:50,360
Speaker 1: because I mean that's gotta be like, I mean the time,

2081
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 1: I cannot like. Toronto is one of my favorite cities

2082
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: in the World. So the prospect of of you know,

2083
01:52:56,560 --> 01:52:59,519
Speaker 1: getting some finals nights in Toronto, I'm not gonna lie

2084
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 1: to you, that was the thought of that was pretty

2085
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 1: damn tasty. Well where's that? There's the best that did

2086
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,120
Speaker 1: not happen. But here's the thing. I'm I can't lose

2087
01:53:08,200 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 1: either way because you know, being in the Bay Area

2088
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,840
Speaker 1: is obviously great. But I'm I live in Dallas. So

2089
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm in Oklahoma City, I'm a three

2090
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:19,040
Speaker 1: hour drive from home. My family's nearby. It's fine, It's

2091
01:53:19,160 --> 01:53:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, the games are what mattered. Man. I get like,

2092
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:23,320
Speaker 1: I get to go to plenty of great places. I don't.

2093
01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:25,360
Speaker 1: I don't need a fancy city. Is there is there

2094
01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:28,559
Speaker 1: a good sushi restaurant in Cleveland that you could recommend?

2095
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:30,439
Speaker 1: Because if I ever make it out to Cleveland, I

2096
01:53:30,560 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 1: just concerned. Did they even serve sushi in the city

2097
01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:36,679
Speaker 1: of Cleveland? And and not a sushi guy? So I'm

2098
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:39,080
Speaker 1: the wrong first assot. I will say this Cleveland downtown

2099
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland actually has a pretty you know, is pretty underrated

2100
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 1: on the restaurants front. They they've you know, since Lebron

2101
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: has been through there twice. Now, I mean they've dave up.

2102
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:53,040
Speaker 1: Downtown Cleveland has been upgraded over the past decades, so

2103
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:57,000
Speaker 1: you will if are you coming to finals? Listen, I'm

2104
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:59,680
Speaker 1: not saying no. I'm not gonna say yes, but I'm

2105
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm work on my magic. You know I'm working on

2106
01:54:02,040 --> 01:54:04,920
Speaker 1: my magic. I wouldn't love tell your cal Rachel Nichols

2107
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 1: to send you there is a representative of the Jump. See.

2108
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:09,920
Speaker 1: I like where your head's at. Mark, I like, I

2109
01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 1: like where your heads at and and what you just said,

2110
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,400
Speaker 1: probably not only is gonna make it on the podcast,

2111
01:54:14,600 --> 01:54:17,439
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna go straight to her voicemail. I'm gonna text.

2112
01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean, she needs an on scene representative. That's what

2113
01:54:20,040 --> 01:54:22,519
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's what I'm talking about. Now, let me

2114
01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:25,320
Speaker 1: ask your final question. The Warriors moving. I think it's

2115
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nineteen to San Francisco? Is it

2116
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:31,720
Speaker 1: nineteen to two thousand and nineteen season? I don't even

2117
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,880
Speaker 1: think nineteen. I mean it's it's you know, it's a

2118
01:54:34,920 --> 01:54:37,840
Speaker 1: political battle, so it's gonna take I mean, I think

2119
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:39,880
Speaker 1: eighteen is as soon as it could happen, But if

2120
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: it took longer, it wouldn't surprise me. Don't you think

2121
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:45,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a real disappointment and blow because I

2122
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:47,960
Speaker 1: think these fans are great. I've always had an affection

2123
01:54:48,080 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 1: for for the Golden State Warriors, going back to the

2124
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,440
Speaker 1: Bernard King World Be Free. I love the Baron davis

2125
01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:58,080
Speaker 1: Um Warriors. I've I've always loved this this team, and

2126
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:02,000
Speaker 1: I feel like Oakland is a small sort of you know,

2127
01:55:02,200 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 1: mighty Joe Young sort of city. You know, it's sort

2128
01:55:05,360 --> 01:55:08,120
Speaker 1: of the underdog city. They have this arena there, they

2129
01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 1: have this team that they've they've been through the ringer

2130
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:14,200
Speaker 1: with and and now while they're finally getting to be

2131
01:55:14,320 --> 01:55:16,600
Speaker 1: on top, they're gonna be in Sanford. Do you think

2132
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a blow to to Oakland or how

2133
01:55:19,480 --> 01:55:22,160
Speaker 1: do you think that's gonna affect those things? I don't

2134
01:55:22,280 --> 01:55:25,040
Speaker 1: love it. I have to admit I hate change, and

2135
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:27,920
Speaker 1: I've you know, I've spent so much time in Oakland

2136
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:29,800
Speaker 1: the last two years that I really have grown to

2137
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:32,320
Speaker 1: love it. And I think I think all Warriors fans

2138
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:35,760
Speaker 1: aren't do fear what you're saying that there's gonna be

2139
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 1: a different crowd in San Francisco. It's gonna be The

2140
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: tickets are gonna be zillions of dollars more than they

2141
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:43,200
Speaker 1: are now. It's gonna be way too expensive. The crowd

2142
01:55:43,320 --> 01:55:44,960
Speaker 1: is going to change, the noise is never going to

2143
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:47,920
Speaker 1: be the same. And I think all that's true, but

2144
01:55:48,680 --> 01:55:50,840
Speaker 1: then you do go to San Francisco and you realize, man,

2145
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:54,800
Speaker 1: that you forget what a spectacular place San Francisco is.

2146
01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 1: So look, it's definitely gonna change. I mean, Oracle Arena

2147
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:01,560
Speaker 1: is as old building because there is. It's it's a

2148
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:04,920
Speaker 1: it's an outdated building. The noise, it bounces off the

2149
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:07,520
Speaker 1: cement because it's you know, it's just it's just different.

2150
01:56:07,560 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, so's no no question it's not going to

2151
01:56:09,600 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 1: be the same atmosphere because in a modern building you

2152
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:15,720
Speaker 1: can't get the same kind of noise effect. But I mean,

2153
01:56:15,760 --> 01:56:18,360
Speaker 1: they need a new building. But yeah, I mean, if

2154
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 1: it was me, I would love to see them stay

2155
01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 1: in Oakland. But I don't think they're asking my opinion.

2156
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen, Mark, I'm gonna let you go.

2157
01:56:25,840 --> 01:56:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're joining your day off. Let me off, easy, man.

2158
01:56:29,080 --> 01:56:30,440
Speaker 1: I thought I thought this was gun. I thought you're

2159
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:32,720
Speaker 1: gonna I thought you're gonna grill. Now, I mean, you're

2160
01:56:32,760 --> 01:56:36,680
Speaker 1: like the you're the Russell Westbrook of NBA media. I

2161
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: want to see angry Michael Rapaport and angry Russe Westbrook

2162
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 1: in the Press Cup. Oh, listen, listen. If they make

2163
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 1: it to the finals, I'm pressing somebody to ask them

2164
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: about even if even if they're playing the Cavaliers. I

2165
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:51,680
Speaker 1: want to ask k d and and and Russell about

2166
01:56:51,920 --> 01:56:54,680
Speaker 1: Curry's defense again, just for the reaction, you know what

2167
01:56:54,680 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean. But but here's the thing, though, I don't

2168
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:00,960
Speaker 1: but I'd rather the guy be real. I like, I

2169
01:57:01,040 --> 01:57:02,920
Speaker 1: don't want to bust on him because he gave us

2170
01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:05,640
Speaker 1: his real answer, like would you would you? Would you

2171
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:08,400
Speaker 1: rather that Westbrook gave the polite answer. No, I mean,

2172
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 1: at least at least we know where he stands, Like

2173
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 1: when when athletes are honest. This is just you know,

2174
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 1: like you don't want to crush the guy because he

2175
01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:18,000
Speaker 1: actually let us know what he really think that night.

2176
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: The whole series itself, the whole playoffs, it's been real salty,

2177
01:57:22,600 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 1: it's been and that's what's made it great. Right, these

2178
01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 1: teams don't like each other, that they really don't like

2179
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:31,560
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, I think there's been enough going on

2180
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:33,760
Speaker 1: that they don't and they don't have a long I

2181
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 1: mean it's not like they have any kind of long history.

2182
01:57:36,640 --> 01:57:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't seen this matchup, but it's it

2183
01:57:39,320 --> 01:57:42,320
Speaker 1: it has I mean, look, you got an Australian and

2184
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:45,240
Speaker 1: New Zealand are playing center. Both countries do not like

2185
01:57:45,400 --> 01:57:47,600
Speaker 1: each other. From Bogan and Adams right there, we got

2186
01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:52,520
Speaker 1: we got built intention. The whole Draymond Green thing. Now,

2187
01:57:52,600 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 1: it's funny because obviously all year long we've been talking

2188
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:57,800
Speaker 1: about Durant maybe going to Golden State. Durant and Steph

2189
01:57:57,880 --> 01:57:59,720
Speaker 1: are great. If you go back all the way to

2190
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 1: two thousand ten, Durrant, Steph Curry, andre Iguddalad they all

2191
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:06,920
Speaker 1: played together on Team USA. They formed a friendship then.

2192
01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 1: But this series has been really good on the tension scale.

2193
01:58:11,080 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's been one of the best things

2194
01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, it's been. It's been fantastic. The whole

2195
01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:19,760
Speaker 1: thing has been great. I never I I can't remember

2196
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:22,760
Speaker 1: being this excited about Uh. I mean this, I don't

2197
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 1: know how any finals uh situation is gonna is gonna

2198
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 1: live up to this excitement, the the the ups and downs,

2199
01:58:30,200 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 1: um I I uh, I think the reason why you're

2200
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 1: not getting angry contentious micro rapports because the first time

2201
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to you and we're over the phone, and

2202
01:58:39,680 --> 01:58:41,240
Speaker 1: I truly have a lot of respect for you, and

2203
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:43,120
Speaker 1: and and I thank you for taking the time on

2204
01:58:43,400 --> 01:58:45,360
Speaker 1: your day off. And I want to bother. I'm sure

2205
01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:47,400
Speaker 1: you gotta wrest your voice, you gotta drink hot tea.

2206
01:58:47,480 --> 01:58:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what you gotta do, throat coat, but

2207
01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: I'll let you go. Um. Hopefully I get to meet

2208
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 1: you soon, and hopefully it'll be in the finals. And Mark, I,

2209
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:58,880
Speaker 1: I really appreciate you taking the time, my frim. I

2210
01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:01,000
Speaker 1: am honored, sir. Just I'm glad you didn't press me

2211
01:59:01,080 --> 01:59:03,440
Speaker 1: to make a prediction because I honestly don't know, but

2212
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:07,480
Speaker 1: that was gonna be my last question. Anything could happen, right,

2213
01:59:07,520 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 1: I know, I agree. I I hope Golden State wins

2214
01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: because I I want them, but I respect the crap

2215
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 1: out of Okay, see, I respect the crap out of

2216
01:59:16,720 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 1: that entire team. I've always loved Billy Billy Donovan since

2217
01:59:19,520 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 1: he was in college when he went from being a

2218
01:59:21,440 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 1: fat point guard to Rick Pettino put him on weight

2219
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:26,240
Speaker 1: watchers and then he you know, he pushed at that team.

2220
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:28,960
Speaker 1: So I I like that team. I just like Golden

2221
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 1: State a little bit more. And uh, you know, I'm enjoying, enjoying,

2222
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: uh you know this series, so uh it's gonna be fun.

2223
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:38,120

2231
02:00:08,320 --> 02:00:12,080
Speaker 1: do now as I'm gonna speak to this dude. His

2232
02:00:12,200 --> 02:00:16,960
Speaker 1: name is DJ d Sharp. He's the house DJ for

2233
02:00:17,000 --> 02:00:19,280
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, which I think is a dope

2234
02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:21,480
Speaker 1: b ass job. And the reason why I'm speaking to

2235
02:00:21,560 --> 02:00:23,480
Speaker 1: him is because I've always I've always been impressed. I

2236
02:00:23,560 --> 02:00:25,000
Speaker 1: watched the games. I haven't been to a Golden State

2237
02:00:25,080 --> 02:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Warriors game in a few years, but um, I watched

2238
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:34,520
Speaker 1: the games and I noticed that when Golden State has

2239
02:00:34,640 --> 02:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the ball, they have dope music, they have Biggie, they

2240
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:44,520
Speaker 1: have Tribe gang Star. Um I heard e forty The

2241
02:00:44,600 --> 02:00:47,160
Speaker 1: thing that I like about it is that the taste

2242
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:50,880

02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:33,120
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. So so just let me ask you

2276
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:35,000
Speaker 1: a couple of questions. How did you want to become

2277
02:02:35,040 --> 02:02:38,480
Speaker 1: in the DJ for the Golden State Warriors. So, my

2278
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Boca the DJ man, I gotta get a problem. And

2279
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:45,720
Speaker 1: God blessed the DJ Solomon the Official. He was a

2280
02:02:45,800 --> 02:02:49,160
Speaker 1: DJ before me and I used to DJ for this

2281
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:53,720
Speaker 1: groogle H called black Alicious. Actually they got a Bleacher

2282
02:02:53,800 --> 02:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Report commercial right now with the feeds up that's black Elicious.

2283
02:02:57,600 --> 02:03:00,560
Speaker 1: So for them, and we have a show here in

2284
02:03:00,600 --> 02:03:04,800
Speaker 1: the Bay Area and Styman was at the show and

2285
02:03:04,880 --> 02:03:06,880
Speaker 1: he was like, Yo, this is when the Warriors were

2286
02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:09,920
Speaker 1: crappy too, like we stuck and he was like, yo,

2287
02:03:09,960 --> 02:03:12,160
Speaker 1: our DJ for the Warriors, and it would be dope

2288
02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:13,640
Speaker 1: if you could come through and do a two by

2289
02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:15,920
Speaker 1: four set with me. So then he got me in

2290
02:03:16,160 --> 02:03:19,920
Speaker 1: like that, man and every sense, um he was DJ,

2291
02:03:20,080 --> 02:03:22,240
Speaker 1: and I guess it had to beat ten seasons before

2292
02:03:22,280 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: he passed away. Man again, I would just fill in

2293
02:03:25,200 --> 02:03:28,200
Speaker 1: for him, and um, when he passed away, they they

2294
02:03:28,320 --> 02:03:32,440
Speaker 1: they offered me the job. So that's how it happened.

2295
02:03:32,560 --> 02:03:34,920
Speaker 1: Well listen, first of all, I I I gotta tell you, Man,

2296
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I told you this for you. I think that you

2297
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:38,760
Speaker 1: guys play the best music in the league. And I

2298
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:40,680
Speaker 1: hate saying it because you know, I'm a Knicks fan

2299
02:03:41,200 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 1: and and and you know, New York Is is the

2300
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:45,880
Speaker 1: birthplace of hip hop. But we we you know, and

2301
02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:48,200
Speaker 1: they have dope DJs. But it's like a cycle, so

2302
02:03:48,280 --> 02:03:50,760
Speaker 1: it changes up. I think the fact that you know

2303
02:03:51,040 --> 02:03:53,800
Speaker 1: they keep one dude, I think there's a consistency. So

2304
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:56,560
Speaker 1: how do you how does it go into like do

2305
02:03:56,720 --> 02:03:58,840
Speaker 1: you pick the beach. Do you have to approve them?

2306
02:03:59,320 --> 02:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Um and so so, so let me let me clarify

2307
02:04:02,160 --> 02:04:05,280
Speaker 1: some think So they're there's there's actually there's a house

2308
02:04:05,360 --> 02:04:07,760
Speaker 1: guy that handles a lot of the beats and he

2309
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:12,080
Speaker 1: played him from a from a machine. Um there there

2310
02:04:12,160 --> 02:04:14,880
Speaker 1: was a guy named Addie. He now works at Pandora.

2311
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:17,600
Speaker 1: ADDIE's been he was there for years. I can't think

2312
02:04:17,640 --> 02:04:20,720
Speaker 1: of the guy's name now, but Addie said Addie, along

2313
02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:24,280
Speaker 1: with Solomon again of course myself, we all helped contribute

2314
02:04:24,280 --> 02:04:27,120
Speaker 1: to the beach. Um and He's beat has been there

2315
02:04:27,480 --> 02:04:30,200
Speaker 1: in that play machine for for a long time. So

2316
02:04:30,400 --> 02:04:32,920
Speaker 1: it's like they've been accumulated over the years, you know

2317
02:04:33,040 --> 02:04:35,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's like when um, you know

2402
02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:47,240
Speaker 1: we uh, when we faced Houston last year and you know,

2403

Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like, uh, and

2405
