I think Nicholas 204 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: Cages gonzo. If you ask me, I I get the 205 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: feeling that Nicolas Cage is well, he's done. Uh. Mentally, 206 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: he's fucking whacked out of his tree. Um. But he's 207 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: been married four times in the past. Okay, I don't 208 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: hold that against him. But Nicolas Cage just got married 209 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: to a woman he didn't know. I don't know how 210 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 1: they met. You know, he's gone, he's got the hair plugs, 211 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: he's bloated.

Couldn't have been nicer, 213 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: couldn't have been cooler. But he's very eccentric, you know, 214 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage. He's he's a badass, leaving Las Vegas, moonstruck 215 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: and so forth and so on. He's only fifty five 216 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: years old. But but uh, he got married to a 217 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: makeup artist. Uh. They got married for four days, one two, three, 218 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: four four days. Uh.

Um, and he's saying he 221 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: lacked an understanding of what was happening. You're a grown man. 222 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: You're marrying a virtual stranger. You don't know what's happening. 223 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: That's neither here nor there. They were married for four days. 224 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: He's trying to get an annullment, do you, Nicolas Cage? 225 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: But but the wife is trying to get spousal support. 226 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: See that right there is that bullshit. If I'm the judge, 227 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: I tell, I tell baby girl. I say, listen, sweetheart, 228 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: you were married four days.

He don't 237 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: know you like that you don't have no kids. We're 238 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: shutting this ship down. Okay, that's it. You ain't getting nothing, sweetheart. 239 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: These people who are crazy with this, they get divorced 240 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: and they wanted four days, four days of freaking off. 241 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: Who knows what they were on. I'm not saying they 242 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: were on that Booker Sugar, but I'm not saying they weren't. Okay, 243 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: but I'm sure it was whacking and wild. Again, I'm 244 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: not saying they were on any Booker Sugar. I'm not 245 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: saying they were on those great guys, but I'm not 246 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: saying they weren't.

Oh, Juicy Jesse solam 251 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Lay is really I gotta give it to him. This 252 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: motherfucker is really about that life. He is saying that 253 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: he is suffering from night terrors, which means he's uh 254 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: probably waking up in his sleep sweating um and waking 255 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: up in his sleep with his heart pounding. All this 256 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: comes from a fake beatdown that never happened. You're worried. 257 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: You're having these night terrors because you're worried that the 258 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: state of Chicago, the city of Chicago, is going to 259 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: sue your fucking ass.

Those night 263 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: terrors come from the fact that, like I said, I 264 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: said this a couple of weeks ago. You know, if 265 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: I got a notification that some city, an entire city, 266 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: let alone Chicago, one of the biggest, most famous cities 267 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: in the entire world, forget the United States, was suing me, 268 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: I'd be having night terrors as well.

You didn't want to just go behind 271 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: closed doors and work something out. You didn't want to 272 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: do that. You were too good with that. You wanted 273 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: to hang on to the fact that you were the 274 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: gay Tupac. Do you think Tupac had night terrors? I 275 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: don't think he did. I thought you were the gay 276 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: Tupac Duke, just another reason why you never ever gonna 277 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: be the gay tupac.

What more 367 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: can we say about The Shining? How incredible, how unique. 368 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: Anybody could have played that part, but nobody would have 369 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: done it the way Jack Nicholson did the part in 370 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: The Shining. Game Changer shut it down, Stanley Kubrie, he 371 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: shut that fucking film down. He shut that part down. 372 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: And when I say anybody could have played it, he 373 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: wasn't the only actor they thought about. Uh, when they 374 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: cast The Shining there's a lot of great actors and 375 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,719 Speaker 1: Warren Batby, de Niro, Pacchino, Dustin Hoffman, they were all 376 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: around at that time. I think it was nine Paul Newman. 377 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: But but the way he played it, those nuances that 378 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: he here's Johnny like, that's sort of like, you know, 379 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: real calm. But then he goes to you know, he 380 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: goes zero to a hundred real quick. Jack Nicholson in 381 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: The Shining Um five easy pieces, terms of endearment, a 382 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: few good men, ridiculous, the departed, great Scorsese, DiCaprio, Prissy's Honor, 383 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: as good as it gets, Chinatown and then of course, 384 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: fucking he could have stopped there. One flew over the 385 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: Cuckoo's nest. Again. If you look at his performance and 386 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: what he brings as an actor, the energy, the innuendo, 387 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: the details, the looks, that eyebrow thing, that's just him. 388 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: That's just Jack Nicholson's thing, Like de Niro has his thing, 389 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: Christopher Walking has his thing. Any great actor has some 390 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Benici aldul Toro. He's a freak.

As of the recording of this I Am 411 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: Rappaport Stereo podcast. Um, the Detroit Pistons have been finally 412 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: taken out of their misery. Good. They shouldn't have even 413 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: played Game four. They got swept by Milwaukee. Uh, Blake 414 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: Griffin tried to play. I don't know why he tried 415 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: to play. What Blake? I funk with you, but you 416 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: knew even if you came back. Let's say you want 417 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: a game, what are you gonna do? You're gonna win 418 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: four more, three more. Let your fucking knees rest, you 419 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: get injured, you get injured. No one thinks you're punk 420 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: as bitch. Okay, you're injured, you're hurt. Sit it out. 421 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: They took them out of their fucking misery. Uh. Utah 422 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 1: is still hanging in there there, down three to one 423 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: to James Harden and the Rockets. I thought that was 424 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: gonna be a better series, uh than it's been. Um, Toronto, 425 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: they're looking good, but they are still uh smacking away 426 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: with Orlando. But they're gonna win that series in either 427 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: five or six games. Boston has advanced all the although 428 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: the games were close. Ish. Um. They beat the Indiana Pacers, 429 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: who somehow, some way, uh even made it to the 430 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: playoffs without their best player, Victor Oladipo. The Warriors are 431 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: about to do away with the Clippers, who are putting 432 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: on a great display, and it is a great business 433 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: card for the Los Angeles Clippers. We have heart, we 434 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: have guys, and we are in need of a lead, 435 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: leader and a star. I don't mean leader, because they 436 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: have Patrick Beverley. He's clearly the leader of that team. 437 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: But I'm saying they are in need of a star. 438 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: And they have a cohesive unit Mantraz, Harrold and my 439 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: guy Gallinari and just the way that team plays. And 440 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: and although the Warriors are in control of that series, 441 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: they've made a few of the games competitive. Of course, 442 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: um they won that game where they came back to 443 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: thirty one, but they're good. And of course we have 444 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the Portland's Trailblazers who are probably gonna finish off the 445 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. And now it's I think it's time 446 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: to apologize everybody, including me, although I've already apologized to him, 447 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: but everybody who was talking that bullshit about Kevin Durant 448 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: and he's a cupcake and uh, you know he's a 449 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: sucker ass bitch, and you know he's ring chasing. I 450 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: think it's clear now that he was ahead of the 451 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: curve on what he knew about Russell Westbrook. I'm not 452 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: turning on Russell Westbrook. I funk with Russell Westbrook. I've 453 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: defended Russell Westbrook on camera with Colin Coward, who has 454 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: been talking about Russell Westbrook for a while. I love 455 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, but he has not been able to figure 456 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: out how to get it done. It doesn't mean he's 457 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: not a force of nature, doesn't mean he's not the 458 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: Jackson Pollock of the end b A. But they're about 459 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: to get eliminated for the third straight year in the 460 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: first round the Oklahoma City Thunder, the third straight year 461 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: since Kevin Durant left. Kevin Durant was like, I'm not 462 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: fucking with Duke. I'm done. You can call me this, 463 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: you can call me that, you can say whatever you 464 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: want to say about me. I'm getting the funk out 465 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: of here. And he kept it g In regards to 466 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, he never shifted on him, he never complained 467 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: about it. He never threw him under the bus. He 468 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: never threw Russ under the bus that rhymes. I'll say 469 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: it again. He never threw Russ under the bus that rhymes, 470 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: but he was ahead of the curb. And Paul George Pg. 471 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Thirteen the best hairline in all of sports, possibly ever. 472 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: Paul George is probably what I don't fact check. I 473 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: refused to fact check. But Paul George is twenty nine. 474 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what he is. Hairline is not going anywhere. 475 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: You'll never see Paul George, uh going bald. That hairline 476 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: is there for life. Um. And now Russell Westbrook got 477 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: him talking stupid to the media. You know Russell Westbrook, 478 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: He gets on that like, uh, next question, he's got 479 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: something with with some local reporter from Oklahoma City, and 480 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: he'll be on that next question. And now they look 481 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: like assholes. And I funk with both of them. There 482 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: two of my favorite individual players in the NBA, but 483 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: now they're they're both up there after the game's after 484 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: you lose. The guy's asking him simple basketball questions. Maybe 485 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: he's talked greasy in the past, but he's up there 486 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: talking about the next question, next question, and then Paul 487 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: George will be like, next question. Now you guys look dumb. 488 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: You know, you guys, look, you know. This is not 489 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: a good look for you, guys. Paul George, Russell Westbrook, 490 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: Now you look like sore losers because Dame Dollar and C. J. 491 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: McCullum are busting your ass. Russ was talking greasy. Russ 492 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: was talking a lot of ship to Dame Dollar and 493 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: they're cracking your ass. And now you're up there saying 494 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: next question, next question. He's not asking you personal questions. 495 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: Be a pro. You were talking out of pocket. Okay, 496 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: uh k D looked like the bad guy. Do you 497 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: look like the good guy, the the the underdog, the 498 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: guy was so loyal. Paul George looked like he was 499 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: the guy that was the underdog. He was so loyal. 500 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: He is gonna play with his l a comrade. And 501 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: now you guys are up there talking to that next question. Shit. Now, 502 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't support that ship, duke. I'm not with that 503 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: duke um. But uh, the next round and it's only 504 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: the first round. That's why I love these first rounds 505 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: of playoffs because there's games on top of games every 506 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: single night, and I don't think there's a game every 507 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: day in the second round, although there might be a 508 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: game every day for the first four games. Um, I 509 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 1: don't fact check. But but we're talking about the Milwaukee 510 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: Bucks verse the Boston Celtics. That's a series. We're talking 511 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: about the Toronto Raptors verse the Philadelphia seventy sixers, that's 512 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: a series. If the seventies Sixers beat my Brooklyn Nets, 513 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: it ain't over. Now. Yes they're up three one, Yes 514 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: it should be to two, but it ain't over. But 515 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: I must say, I must concede and say that unless 516 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: lightning strikes or maybe Joel Embiad's Nie Fox up. Uh. 517 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: Those mongoloids, that's what I call him, the Big three mongoloid, 518 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: starting with fucking Boban, Ben Simmons and Joe Embie. Because 519 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: they're tall, they're a fucking tall team. Uh, they'll probably 520 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,760 Speaker 1: get past Brooklyn. But that's another great business card, great 521 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: calling card, great audition for free agents to come to Brooklyn. Okay, 522 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: and remember, if you play for the Brooklyn Nets, you 523 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,919 Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn. If you play for the New York Knicks, 524 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: who are my team, Fizdale's Mica, you don't get to 525 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: live in Manhattan. The practice of facilities in New Rochelle, 526 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: so you live in New Rochelle and you come. Your 527 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: workplace is really the practice facility and the games at 528 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: night where you go to play your games, they're in Manhattan. 529 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: If you don't know the dynamics of this and the 530 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: logistics of this. During the day, we're talking about an 531 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 1: hour and forty five minute drive Brooklyn to Manhattan. Fifteen minutes. 532 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: You could get on the subway and be uh in Brooklyn, 533 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: brook in the Manhattan ten minutes. You could take an 534 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: uber there ten minutes. Nonetheless, I think Kevin Durant will 535 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: be a New York nick if the Golden State Warriors win. 536 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: If they don't win, I think he's staying. But the 537 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: second round of the NBA Playoff is gonna be dope 538 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: Boston versus Milwaukee. For all intentsive purposes, the Golden State 539 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: Warriors are going to be playing the Houston Rockets. The 540 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: Houston Rockets are most likely going to continue to eliminate 541 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. The series is now three to one 542 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: as a taping of this Iron Wrappers Stereo Pockets, But 543 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: I don't see Utah coming back three to one. And 544 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: then Denver San Antonio they're still duking it out. Denver 545 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: San Antonio is gonna play the winner of the Oklahoma 546 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,399 Speaker 1: City Trailblazers, UH series, the Portland series, and all those 547 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: teams are good. Portland is good. Of course, the Warriors 548 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: are good. The Rockets first, the Warriors. That's like Tommy 549 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 1: Hearns first, Marvin Hagler and those two series in the 550 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: East to some of the best basketball you're gonna get. Okay, 551 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: Toronto versus the seventies six is I'm watching every quarter 552 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: of every game, Boston versus Janice and the Greek Freak. 553 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: I'm watching every single corner of every game. Yes, just 554 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: saying the ratings are down. Then you were never about 555 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: this basketball life because the ratings were down just because 556 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: of Lebron James. I don't know what to tell you. 557 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 1: Then you just didn't like basketball because last year, if 558 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: the if the playoff ratings in the Eastern Conference were good. 559 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 1: Watching Lebron James go to seven games with Toronto, going 560 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: to seven games with Indiana and sweeping Toronto, what was 561 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: so exciting about that? He made mincemeat of the East. 562 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: So I'm enjoying it. I hope you're enjoying it. Watched 563 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: the games.

So I was always like proud of that ship. 654 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: Not that you know, Nas needed zebra Head or Michael Rappaport, 655 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 1: but I'm always like ship, I'm part of history because 656 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: that was that was uh, you know, a great album 657 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: that still lives up to all the all the hype 658 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: that it had. It's still it still surpasses everything that 659 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:39,800 Speaker 1: we expected from it. Finally, at Coachella, Uh Kuki Kanye 660 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 1: West uh did his Sunday sermon performance in front of 661 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 1: an estimated fifty thousand people, and he uh he prayed. 662 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: There was a lot of praying. Uh. There was apparently 663 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: a lot of a good church music, which I like, 664 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 1: got a lot of old soul. Uh. There was no Hits, 665 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: there was no Jesus Walks, there was no uh any 666 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: of you know, Uh, you know that that yeasy yeas 667 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,759 Speaker 1: is Uh. There was none of that young Kanye, the 668 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: old Kanye. There was none of that. Duke had his 669 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: hair dyed purple. I think I'm color blind. Um. And 670 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 1: he was crying a few times. He had breakdowns. UM, 671 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,880 Speaker 1: and other people cried. And I think kid Cutty, who 672 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 1: does nothing for me, no disrespect. You know, he's got 673 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: a couple of songs, but some people hold him to 674 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: this super high uh place. He does nothing for me. 675 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's whack. I just never been moved 676 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,879 Speaker 1: by his music. UM. I think DMX might have gave 677 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,439 Speaker 1: a sermon there which is dope shout out to dark Man. 678 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: But basically, basically it was a self um, very narcissistic 679 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: performance and I feel like, um, from what I saw 680 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 1: on the clips, I'm sure it was cool, but people 681 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: were sitting there like, what the funk is this? Um? 682 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was free, but you could 683 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 1: tell by the looks from the people, UM that they 684 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: were like, what the funk is this?

He he wasn't doing any of that. 689 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 1: Um And I think Kanye s is gone. I think 690 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 1: people like I want the old Kanye that's not happening. 691 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 1: Enjoy what you had from him. I think this guy, 692 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,480 Speaker 1: the the the fame and the mental illness and all 693 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 1: of it. You can't go back in time, you know. 694 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 1: I learned that when I did the Tribe coal Quest documentary. 695 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: You can't go back in time. You can't go back 696 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: to ill Matic, you can't go back to Midnight Marauders. 697 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 1: You can't go back to the Beatles. You can't go back. 698 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: Like time moves forward and things change, and and the 699 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: way we interpret music, especially great music like the people 700 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: I just mentioned and the early Kanye. You know, there's 701 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: a certain memory that we have attached to those songs. 702 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: You can't go back to those memories. You can't go 703 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 1: back to a time without Twitter. You can't go back 704 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: to a time where you would just go to the 705 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: store and get the CD and listen in your car 706 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: and have that first impression. Things are different. Um And 707 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 1: it's not just the way we listen to music. It's 708 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: when you listen to music, and that was one of 709 00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 1: the themes of of beat trimes in life, the travels 710 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 1: of a Tripical Quest, the doc I did about a 711 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:17,399 Speaker 1: tripical quest. Because you want them to do these things, 712 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: but uh, they grow up. You know. They talked a 713 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: lot about during that film making the music and Five's 714 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 1: Grandma's house. They don't the five s Grandma moved. You know. 715 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 1: There there is no studio on five S Grandma's house, 716 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,360 Speaker 1: so they can't do the pre production on midnight moors. 717 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: It's like these things changed. That was one of the 718 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 1: things that I learned and I had to come to 719 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 1: terms then I did that film. It's like the old 720 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: Kanye's gun we might not like the new Kanye me 721 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 1: his music now, I'm not with it.
