00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: reality is I have a fucking California driver's license. That's

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,080

00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: last twentysomething years has been in Los Angeles. Well that's

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: just what they say. They say, you gotta move out

15
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: to Los Angels. So when I was younger, I moved

00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: out there. Anyway, last night I got to experience a

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: fantastic New York night. And I'm gonna be honest, I

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: have missed a lot of a lot of ship, a

19
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: lot of New York moments, you know, even in a sick,

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: weird way. The terrible things that have happened in New

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there was a blackout during the summer.

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: I always felt, in a weird way jealous that I

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: wasn't there to experience some of even the lows, of course,

27

Speaker 1: These are New York moments. But last night I got

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: to experience a New York moment that I always I

37
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: So I was at this Global Citizen Festival. I believe

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: this was on MSNBC and CNN. They showed the concert.

39
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: It's too basically helped world poverty. So it's a great event.

40
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Thousands I don't know how. One cops said three hundred

41
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: thousand people, another one said five five. Other cops had

42
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: fifty thousand. I don't know how many motherfucking people were

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: in this at this concert in Central Park, but it

44
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of motherfucker's and it was a great day,

45
00:02:51,960 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: perfect weather. I got uh hooked up. Passes from the

46
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Roots hooked me up, although I got there at the

47
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: very tail end of their performance, and then there was

48
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: all kind of finagling, because when you get to one

49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: of these big concerts, it doesn't matter who you are,

50
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: what kind of sucking past you have, or lament that

51
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you have. I never have the the the the, the

52
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: the right one. I'm always the one that's like, you

53
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of got a good laminate, you kind of have

54
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: a good pass these fucking wristbands, but it's not the

55
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: best one, and the ego takes over and you're like, well,

56
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I just saw so and so and they're they have

57
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: a good good seats, and I see them meandering around

58
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: with a glass of wine in their hand, or lemonade

59
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: or an Arnold Palmer or wherever the fuck, and I

60
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: got shipped. I don't mean I have a bottle of water,

61
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: so I want to go where they're going. So you

62
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: got a finagle, you gotta hustle your weight to where

63
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: they are to get that Arnold Palmer. By the way,

64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: the drink Arnold Palmer. I want to start a campaign

65
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: for the drink Arnold Palmer to now be called tiger Woods. Okay,

66
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar with this drink, an Arnold Palmer

67
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: is half lemonade, half iced tea. Arnold Palmer is as

68
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: white as a fucking sheet of paper. You don't get

69
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: any more white than Arnold Palmer. The actual guy tiger

70
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: Woods half black, half Asian, half lemonade, half iced tea.

71
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying, Arnold Palmer just lemonade,

72
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: tiger Woods half black, half Chinese, half lemonade, half iced tea.

73
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: So I always order a Tiger Woods when I go to,

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: like at a cafe or get a drink or whatever.

75
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: Because I'm not an alcohol person. My favorite drink is

76
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: the Arnold Palmer a k a. The tiger Woods. Anyway,

77
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: that's a whole other segment. I'm gonna put it, put

78
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: in a campaign to try to get that drink officially

79
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: changed to you call the tiger Woods Arnold Palmer. You

80
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: might have invented it. I don't know, but you're out.

81
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: You're sucking out. So we get to this concerts beautiful

82
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: weather is I don't know, a million people there, a

83
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: hundred thousand People's a lot of fucking people there New York.

84
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: So I'm in a good area, but not the best area.

85
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Me and my friend Toby and another friends we're fucking.

86
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: I you know, I see somebody, you know, I need

87
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: to go where they're going. So these two. There was

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: a lot of diplomats there because it was it was

89
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: a worldwide event. It was diplomats, there was you know,

90
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: world leaders, all kinds of people. So there was a

91
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: lot of undercover sort of secret service type policeman. And

92
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: fortunately I was in a film called Copland, and I

93
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: think every single policeman in the world, but every single

94
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: policeman from the New York tri state area has seen

95
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: this movie Copland and fortun in Italy. They like the

96
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: movie and and a lot of times they'll recognize me

97
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: from Copland and they will actually acknowledge me as my

98
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: character's name in that movie. And the only reason why

99
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I remember the character's name from the movie is because

100
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: I get called it pretty much at least once a day.

101
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: When I'm in New York, Murray, super Boy, Babbage. So

102
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: I get cops yelling at me all day, super Boys,

103
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: super Boys, super Boy, Yo, you were in Copland, yo,

104
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 1: super Boys, super Boy, which is fucking great. It's never annoying,

105
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: especially if you're getting pulled over for a ticket. I

106
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: got pulled over for a ticket two times. Both times

107
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the cops came and said, oh shit, super Boy, what

108
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: are you doing talking on your phone. I'm gonna give

109
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: you a ticket, but I'm gonna let you go this time,

110
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: super Boy. Oh fuck, super Boy, what are you doing

111
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: making that right turn? You know there's no right on

112
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: red and in New York to St. California. I'm gonna

113
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: let you go. So yesterday for are I don't know

114
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: what kind of cops they were. They were high end,

115
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, they're always high end cops. If they're in

116
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: a suit and tie, I always feel like those are

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: the ones not to funk with. They let me and

118
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: my friend Toby into the into the special area. Okay,

119
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: let's just call it the special area. So I go

120
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: into this special area, and of course, once you're in

121
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: the special area, you gotta get into the more special area,

122
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: and that adds a whole long thing. We're literally jumping fences,

123
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: not not not not like high fences, but like you know,

124
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: we're hurdling them. We're going through them. There's chicken wire fences.

125
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: We were doing all that ship and the reason why

126
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: is because we came to see the roots. We missed them,

127
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: No disrespect. You guys hooked me up a mirror Zara

128
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: from the Roots fucking got me to pass it. But

129
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I was late, Okay, I was fucking late. And then

130
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: there was some country singer I don't know who it was,

131
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Garth Brooks or some shine Shina Twain, and I don't know,

132
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: some country singer, some girl roll, I don't know. No

133
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: one gave a ship. To be honest, you're in New York, listen,

134
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: nobody gives a fucking ship. I know. It was a worldwide,

135
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: global event, and you gotta have audiences different eclectic, that's right,

136
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I said eclectic, you know, acts to appease the masses.

137
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: But in New York, no one gives a fuck about

138
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: the country singer, some big country saying. I don't know

139
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: who she was. She was big. It wasn't Willie Nelson.

140
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't the Loretto Lynn it was. I don't know

141
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: who the funk it was. It wasn't those other girls.

142
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: I don't know it was. I don't know who it was.

143
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Some blonde chick could give a ship me, I could

144
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: give a ship, you know. I just I don't know.

145
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: But uh, Anyway, I came to see no doubt who

146
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I like. And I've always had a crush on this

147
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: quin Stefani. She's like under the radar sort of, just

148
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: her consistency year after year after year. Number one, she

149
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: has an age. She looks the same as she did

150
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: when she first came out. Let's just say twenty years ago,

151
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: No Doubt came out. I couldn't even name you five

152
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: No Doubt songs. I couldn't even name you five no

Speaker 1: Doubt songs. But fucking Gwen Stefani. There's just there's the

154
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: thing about Gwen Stefani. She looks fantastic, and she seems sweet.

155
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: She seems nice, she seems genuine. She has trumped the

156
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: aging process. She's gotta be forty forty one. She looks

157
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: fucking great. She's dope on stage, she minds her business,

158
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: She's not a little chicken head, getting caught up in

159
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: and and gossip and all that stuff. She's got kids,

160
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: I think with the with the British guy. Oh, I

161
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: met him too. He's fucking nice. They're just nice people,

162
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: and she's dope. So by the time the fucking No

163
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: Doubt gets on stage, somehow or another, I don't know

164
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: how exactly it happened, I wind up with my friend

165
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Toby and our boy in the front of the front

166
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: of the fucking front. I'm literally right in the front

167
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: of the like I could, fucking like if I was crazy,

168
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: I could go up on stage and and stick my

169
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: tongue down Gwen Stefani's throat, and and and and then

170
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: fucking walk off the stage and go back down to

171
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: my seat and and uh, you know, drink my water. Okay,

172
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: because I never got the Arnold Palmer that I was

173
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: looking for. I got a bottle of water. But we

174
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: were not fucking close, all right. I'm like, holy sh it,

175
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: we're at the front of the front of the front

176
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: No Doubts on stage, Gwen Stefani. Let me tell you something,

177
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Like I said, I I can't even name five No

178
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: Doubt songs, but I'm a fan she's sick. The bass player,

179
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: guitar player. I can never tell the difference. Tony sick,

180
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: they're sick. They're like the fucking Rolling Stones. She's as

181
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: great on stage as Mick Jagger was in his prime

182
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: and still is fantastic. Mick jaggers like he ships on

183
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: most frontmen and most bands. She has that kind of

184
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: energy of a young Mick Jagger in his prime. And

185
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: she's like forty, and she's a girl. She's wearing like,

186
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, girly clothes she wears. She barely sweats. I

187
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: don't know how the funk she does it. She's jumping around,

188
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: she's doing the chicken dance. She's fucking swinging around, flipping

189
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: like Mary lou rettin shit, barely sweating and just killing it.

190
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: The crowd's going nuts. The only par something girl behind

191
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: us was like, you, motherfucker. I don't know how you

192
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: got there, but I've been waiting here all day. I

193
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money for these seats. You better

194
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: not stand up, you motherfucker. I said, listen, sweetheart, I'm

195
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: gonna sit down, but I'll fucking stand up if I want.

196
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: All right, don't be fresh. It wasn't really the way

197
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: the conversation went, but that was what the conversation was

198
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: in my head. But she did call me, and my

199
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: friend told me a motherfucker and told us not to

200
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: get up, and we didn't get up. I said, it's

201
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: all right. I'm in the front of the front I

202
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: don't need to get up. I could sit down and

203
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: watch it. You're fucking standing, sweetheart. I'm in the front

204
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: of the motherfucking front like you know, like that commercial,

205
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: must be in the front row. I was, must be

206
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: in the front row. That was the reality of the situation.

207
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: So she kills it for about I don't know, thirty

208
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: five forty five minutes. Now, I know it's a concert

209
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: for charity, and I know his televised live on I

210
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: don't know Fox or CSNBC or NBC or ESPN. I

211
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: don't know where the funk this thing was televised. So

212
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: in between each act, uh, you got like this person

213
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: coming out and that person coming out, and it was cool,

214
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: like Nelson Mandela's grandson was there. But then like Nelson

215
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: Mandela's grandson's friend spoke, and then you know, like a friend,

216
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: a guy that knew Gandhi, he spoke, and then another

217
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: guy that knew. You know, I don't know Martin Luther King.

218
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: He had coffee with him. He spoke, and everybody's speaking

219
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: and they're talking about, you know, helping the world, which

220
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: is great. But they're talking and talking and talking and

221
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: talking and talking and talking and talking and talking. And

222
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm I'm a Jew. Okay, I'm a

223
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: forty four year old Jew. And my body starts to hurt.

224
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: So I'm doing my stretches, like when I go out

225
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: and I stretch. I don't give a funk where I am.

226
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: I need to stretch. So I'm sitting on the floor.

227
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing like a downward dog. People look at me

228
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: like I'm crazy. I need to stretch. My my back

229
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: is starting hurt. And we're all there for the biggest

230
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: of the biggest of the biggest act. Motherfucking jay Z,

231
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: which is the reason why I'm doing this special podcast

232
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: is because of jay Z. So finally, the light, you know,

233
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: the the night starts to fall, beautiful night, wearing just

240
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: to see jay Z. And then the music for I

242
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: the music for his you know, biggest song New York

243
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: with Alicia Keys that starts to come in and then

244
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: jay Z comes out. And let me tell you something

245
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: about fucking jay Z. We talked about Mick Jagger, we

246
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: talked about Gwen Stefani. Jay Z is by far the

247
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: biggest music I'm not gonna say rock star because he's

248
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: obviously hip hop. He's the biggest music musical presence we

249
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: have right now. Nobody is fucking bigger than jay Z

250
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: on stage. This fucking guy, jay Z is like FONZI.

251
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: If you're if you're a jay Z fan, you know

252
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. If you're not a jay Z fan,

253
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: which our friend, my friend Toby, our other friend Brian,

254
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: I call him fly Bry, He's not even a jay

255
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: Z fan. He's like a fucking hardcore punk fanni agnostic

256
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: front and Alkaline Trio and Sick of it All and

257
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: all this ship H two oh, and all this ship

258
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: that I don't give a funk about. Okay, I know

259
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: it's great, it's just not my thing. He he's not

260
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: even a jay Z fan. As soon as jay Z

261
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: comes out, he's like, holy fucking shit, jay Z comes out.

262
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: He's wearing all black everything. That's what he wears. Wear

263
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: a hoodie, a black T shirt, black jeans, no jewelry.

264
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: The crowd is losing their fucking mind. And this is

265
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: not a hip hop crowd. I've seen him perform before

266
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: where he puts the microphone down, and I know other

267
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: acts do this ship and the crowd will do the

268
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: entire song and he'll sort of be mouthing the words.

269
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: He'll put the microphone down and they'll do big pimping.

270
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: The crowd will do every word. Fifteen year old kids,

271
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: forty four year old kids, people a little older than me, white, black,

272
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Chinese gays, lesbians, fucking Chinese people, fucking Puerto Ricans, Haitians, Indians, Croatians,

273
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: everybody's going fucking crazy for jay Z. And he doesn't

274
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: have a dancer up there. There's no fucking bells and whistles.

275
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: He's got a screen in the background. That's the only

276
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: thing he has. He's got a screen in the background.

277
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: You know, we're doing some cool video ship. This fucking

278
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: guy is literally like Fonz. He's the coolest motherfucker on

279
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: the planet. Jay Z is the coolest, chilliest. Talk about gangster,

280
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: talk about swag, talk about all these variables, these adjectives,

281
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: these pronouns. Jay Z is all of them. He goes

282
00:16:54,840 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: through his set problems, I don't remember. He fucking everything.

283
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: He goes through all the songs. The fucking crowd is

284
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: losing their mind and he's not doing anything crazy. Gwen

285
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: Stefani fantastic performer. She's jumping around, she's doing gymnastics, she's

286
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: you see that. That's New York. You hear that in

287
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: the background. I'm buying my window. That's New York. Anyway,

288
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: She's doing like cross fit on the stage and it's great.

289
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're taking anything away from No Doubt

290
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: and Mick Jagger, that sort of Mick Jagger performance, that

291
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: that that that No Doubt and Gwen Stefani do, because

292
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: I love it. It's fantastic. But the fact that jay

293
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: Z can go on the stage and just do his ship.

294
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: Not that he's not trying or he doesn't care, that's

295
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: just his style and and like he doesn't need all

296
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: the bells and whistles. He's that cool and that good.

297
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: And his songs I was trying to figure out, like

298
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: why are people going crazy? And he's just chilling. People

299
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: are going crazy because the songs are so good and

300
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: and and somehow it hit a spirit. There's there's it

301
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: goes into your spirit and you just get so excited

302
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,880

354
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,119

Speaker 1: She's just perfect, She's just great. She goes off the stage.

360
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: Jay Z comes back out, sings more songs, rhymes and

00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: was it. That was it. That was the end of

363
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: the show and the reason he has to go last.

364
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: You cannot follow jay Z. I don't know another act

365
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: that could follow jay Z. Maybe cold Play, maybe, I

Speaker 1: two man crew, who the fund could follow jay Z anywhere?

371
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: And this is not a hip hop crowd. Okay, let's

372
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: let it be know. This is not a hip hop crowd.

373
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: This is everybody crowd. Everybody's sucking there. I don't know

374
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: who could go on after what he did. He shut

375
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: the motherfucking shut down. The motherfucker is like, he's like Fonzi.

376
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: It's literally like the Fonds, the coolest motherfucker. He turns

377
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: the lights on, he turns the lights off. He could

378
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: maybe he makes it happen. And it was just a

379
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: great night. And then I had to stretch. I had

380
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: to stretch because after the show my body was hurting. Okay,

381
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: So then I went, you know, into a little patch

382
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: of grass. I did my stretching. I did my downward doll.

383
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: My friend Toby and and Brian, They're like, what the

384
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: funk are you doing. You're stretching in public. People are

385
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: walking by and looking at you, like, I don't care.

386
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: My back hurts, motherfucker. I'm gonna stretch wherever the funk

387
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: I want to stretch. My kids they called me the

388
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: street stretcher. They're humiliated by it. I will throw my

389
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: leg on the top of a mailbox. I don't give

390
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: a fuck. In the middle of the day anywhere, anytime

391
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: I get out of my car, I stretch and let

392
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: me tell you something about my stretching ability. I grew

393
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: up playing basketball. I was never the fastest. I was

394
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: never the best on any fucking team. I was never

395
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: the quickest. I was never the most the best player.

396
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: I was never the the the highest jumper. I was

397
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: never the best shooter, although I was a pretty goddamn

398
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: good shooter. I've been the best passer on teams, skill

399
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: an acquired skill, but I've always been the most flexible.

400
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: And I say, you know what, you can't be the

401
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: best at everything, but you got to be the best

402
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: of something. And I was and I always will be

403
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: the best stretcher when I go to cross fit. Whole

404
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: of the conversation. I wish I could videotape and keep

405
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: you podcast people in the loop of what I look

406
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: like in CrossFit. If I ever, if things ever get bad,

407
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: I need to do a reality show. That will be

408
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: my reality show. Michael Rappaport does cross fit. It is

409
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: a fucking shameful, shameful, humiliating experience to watch me do

410
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: cross fit, but I do it. I do it anyway.

411
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: So I stretched it out. We walked home. Everybody's walking

412
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: the streets in New York. Everybody's happy, people, are you know,

413
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: singing dancing? You know, I'm stretching. I go had some

414
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: vegan uh food. My friend Toby's a vegan freak, so

415
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: we went to some place called the Candle Cafe on

416
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: East seventy nine Street. I had some Tofu this and

417
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: tofu that, and some soy pasta and some fucking phony

418
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: meat balls. I had pasta and meat balls and none

419
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: of it was pasta meat balls. It was like, I

420
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: don't know, cardboard and you know, soy, but apparently it's healthy.

421
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: So that was it. Man. It was just a great

422
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: night the Global Citizens Charity concert in New York. And

423
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: I just wanted to just talk about jay Z and

424
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: how fucking sick he is on stage, and and and

425
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: and Beyonce. She broke at the funk down and I'm

426
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, she did a move, man. She did some

427
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: kind of ship. Man, it's some Olympics ship she did.

428
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: She like did it up and down. Then she squatted.

429
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean, she's probably really good and CrossFit. She did

430
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: a jump in a squat and I'm telling you she

431
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: had on heels like it was fucking nothing. If I

432
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: had to do a squat or half of the fucking

433
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: things that Beyonce had to do during that concert in boots.

434
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: Let's just say Timberland boots with with with sweat socks.

435
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: Let's say I was in a sweatsuit and boots and

436
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: I tried to do what Beyonce did on stage last night.

437
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: I'd be in the hospital. I would have torn meniscus,

438
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: A C L S M C yells, I'd break ship all.

439
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: It would all happen in one thing. She's like a

440
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: fucking rubber band, you know. She does it all in heels.

441
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: I don't know lubatans or what kind of heels she has,

442
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: the red bottoms, Giorgio Almani, Gucci, some kind of fancy ship.

443
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: Because it's Beyonce, they probably like custom. I don't know

444
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: what the funk they are. Anyway, it was a great

445
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: New York night as the I Am Rapp Report stereo podcast.

446
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,480
