All right, this is the Iron Rapports Stereo podcast,

0:03

coming live and

0:06

direct from the Gloom

0:08

Tomb of Los Angeles, California.

0:12

My name is Michael Rappaport a

0:15

k A. The Greno Man Dingo a

0:18

k A. White Mike a

0:21

k A. Mr. White Folk. I'm

0:23

in here with my partner. His name

0:25

is Gimo Nettie. UM, you can introduce

0:28

yourself. This is Gimo Netti,

0:31

G. Moody a k A. The Black and McMahon

0:34

in the house. What's the deals? So

0:36

first, I want to talk about UM.

0:40

I mean, obviously I don't think there's anything

0:42

we could say that hasn't been said. Are

0:46

speaking for both of us because me and

0:48

Generald talked about it yesterday. UM

0:51

are deepest, deepest, deepest

0:53

thoughts, prayers, sympathies

0:57

go out to everybody affected by

0:59

what happened in um Orlando

1:01

over the weekend. It's a fucking tragedy,

1:05

UM, and I hope

1:07

that anybody

1:09

that listened to this podcast isn't

1:13

of the mindset of thinking that,

1:16

uh, this wasn't anything other than

1:18

an act of a sick individual.

1:21

Nobody of

1:24

any race, creed, color, sexuality

1:27

deserves this. It could

1:29

have been anybody it could have been Blacks, it could have been

1:31

Jews, it could have been Spanish, it could

1:33

have been Christians, it could have been Amish,

1:36

it could have been anybody. It could

1:38

have been your kids, it could it could be my kids.

1:41

Uh. This is there's no excuses, there's no

1:43

rationality, and there's no exception for

1:46

for any of it. It's it's devastating,

1:48

it's shocking. Um and

1:52

and and I know that, Uh, you

1:54

know, I just wanted to just make sure that everybody understands

1:56

that from from the Iron Rapport Stereo

1:59

podcast, we acknowledging it,

2:02

um. Dedicating the episode

2:04

doesn't do anything, but we'll come

2:06

up with something, UM

2:09

at some point, you know when when when more

2:11

information And I think it's only the

2:13

right thing to do. Um. You

2:15

know, a couple of people on Twitter suggested

2:19

we no longer say no Bruno,

2:22

and at first I thought, yeah, that's absolutely right,

2:24

But then I thought about which

2:26

which is a term that that we

2:28

didn't make up, but I think we made famous

2:31

because there used to be a term

2:33

that I've never said in

2:36

real life or on the podcast, because I never

2:38

thought it was I was never comfortable

2:40

with it. But you know, it was a slang term

2:42

to be like you could say, oh, I got in their ass

2:44

last night talking about a basketball game, and you say no

2:46

homo. I never

2:49

said that. I never took any

2:51

I I thought that that was offensive.

2:53

The reason why we embraced the no

2:55

Bruno term is because to me,

2:57

it's so stupid, it's so silly, and

3:01

the Bruno character is so funny. So

3:03

we're gonna we're gonna put it to the side for now. But

3:06

I know that our intentions with that, we were

3:08

never to even replicate that that that that

3:10

that derogatory term of no homo, which

3:13

we've never said, um,

3:15

but obviously we were. You know, we don't want to offend

3:17

anybody, um uh

3:19

in any way, shape or form in regards

3:21

to sexuality, race, creed, color,

3:25

gender, anything like that. You know, we break

3:27

balls, but we

3:29

try to do it in the most lighthearted. Uh.

3:32

It's all funny games type of way

3:35

for the most part. Yeah.

3:38

So so, um anyway, that's my piece

3:40

on that. You you you, I know, we talked about this

3:42

over the week, and you want to speak on what happened

3:45

in Orlando. I just

3:48

I just think it's so so silly,

3:50

man, that that people

3:53

would attack other

3:55

folks for their sexual

3:58

preference and who they want to be with. I don't

4:00

I think another person

4:02

doing whatever they want to do with

4:05

someone else whom they love shouldn't

4:07

be a problem for anyone, you

4:10

know what I'm saying. Like, and to actually go

4:12

there and to kill folks

4:15

and to cause all the carnage

4:18

just for just for all

4:20

the hatred of gay people

4:23

seemingly, but why do you hate

4:25

them so much? They don't bother anybody. They

4:27

they love each other. So live

4:31

and let live. And I'm

4:33

not sure. There's been so many different reports and I

4:36

had to turn it off today because it's just so upsetting.

4:39

Oh, I had to give it a break. I'm

4:41

pretty sure, but I'm not sure. You know, we don't fact

4:43

check even even serious things. Um,

4:46

but this person, we're not saying

4:48

his name. He's a fucking piece of ship.

4:51

Uh. And these guys keep getting off,

4:53

they keep getting killed or killing themselves,

4:56

all right, that's so yeah, that's the whole point. They

4:58

don't want to they want to cause this much damage.

5:00

They don't want to be held culpable for the ship. Did

5:02

this person have kids? I

5:05

think so, so, I don't

5:07

know what did he think he was gonna go to this this,

5:09

this club and murder

5:11

people and then continue on being a father

5:14

like like that's I don't understand,

5:16

Like like that, that just goes

5:19

to show when someone's crazy, amongst

5:21

other things, that

5:23

there's no rationale, Like you sacrificed

5:26

all this, Like what did you think?

5:28

So now all these people's lives are

5:30

lost, Your child doesn't have a

5:32

father. This is

5:35

just one thing after another. And I'm

5:37

gonna go, um right off the top,

5:39

miles, give me six

5:41

Funk of the Week music. This

5:43

award is earned, not given. It's

5:46

called the sick fucking

5:48

5:50

him up? How could you do it? Don't let

5:53

6:07

6:21

Dan Patrick, You're the sick funk

6:23

6:25

sick fuck and and I'm sick

6:27

6:30

behind I don't again, I don't want to offend

6:32

anybody with any of this stuff. I

6:34

really don't like to talk about religion, but for

6:36

this guy, Lieutenant Governor

6:39

Dan Patrick. The same day

6:43

he he, he posted a tweet saying,

6:46

do not be deceived. God cannot

6:48

be mocked. A man reaps what

6:50

he sows. You're a piece

6:52

of shit. You're

6:54

a sick fuck. And and and

6:56

to sit there and like to read that passage

6:59

out of the Bible and then skew it is, Oh,

7:01

this is God, no God,

7:03

no no any of any any sort,

7:06

no book. It

7:08

is valid in this And and the

7:10

fact that you know that if you work at like a

7:12

company and you you did this, you get fired. But

7:14

the governor he could still be the governor

7:16

after doing that. Right,

7:19

So Dan dan Patrick, Governor

7:21

Dan Patrick, you're the sick funk

7:23

of the week. It's an award that is never

7:26

just given. It's earned. You're the soul

7:29

sick funk of the week. If we have other sick funs,

7:31

we're gonna push them into next

7:33

week because Dan Patrick, that's

7:35

his name. When I keep saying it, who's a governor

7:38

in United States in Texas. You're

7:41

a real sick piece of shit. Okay,

7:44

And I wouldn't be surprised if you walk

7:46

around with a thumb up your ass,

7:48

because not if you hate

7:50

the gays, you probably hate yourself, Okay,

7:53

and and and and for have that kind of hate,

7:55

and you think that you know, the Bible says, no,

7:58

you're a sick fuck a. Um.

by seat Geek anytime I need to go to a concert

9:33

or a ball game or any kind of event, Seat

9:36

Geek is where I go first. All right,

9:40

I did a lot of talking there. How

9:44

you feeling, Gmo, Nettie oh Man? Everything

9:47

is good, man. I just you know, a couple

9:50

of days ago, I was watching that ESPN

9:52

thing with Muhammad Ali, and you

9:54

know, the service and reading stuff

9:56

online and

9:58

the one theme that was a constant that

10:01

I I kind of disliked

10:03

because I see the whitewashing

10:06

and the wiping out of Muhammed Ali's

10:09

real identity. And the

10:11

word was he transcended

10:14

race, which I take I take

10:16

that as an insult. See's come

10:19

because basically it's just it's like what they're

10:21

saying with o J, he was colorless.

10:24

Right, That may be true for o J. But

10:27

Mohammed Ali was always

10:29

unapologetically

10:32

black. He never he

10:34

wore that on his sleeve. He aligned

10:37

himself with black people in

10:39

the streets because he saw himself

10:42

like that and he and

10:44

he saw them getting treated like ships.

10:46

So it made no difference. These

10:48

are and he always wore

10:50

that on his sleeve. So for them people

10:53

to get up there and say

10:55

that he wasn't black, he was for all people.

10:58

He may have been for all people, but he was for

11:00

black people first, right,

11:03

or or the thing I think that they said

11:05

the most. Some people said, I never

11:07

saw him as a black man, right,

11:09

So what the fund does that mean? Right? So

11:12

for you to say that you never saw him as a

11:14

black man, But the rest of black

11:17

society. You saw them as what as exactly?

11:19

So what do you see him ask? Then

11:21

he's clearly black. He speaks,

11:24

he always, you know, is trumping

11:27

black oaks the civil rights at that time.

11:30

So for you to be up there now

11:32

and say, oh, he transcend rates like

11:34

he wasn't black. So I'm

11:36

saying like this rap, I

11:39

came up with like, uh, like I tried. I

11:41

decoded what these people are saying

11:44

right here, if

11:46

it's if it's a speech. I

11:49

like many of you in the audience don't

11:52

really like black people, but

11:55

this one was different.

11:58

He transcended. He's fine

12:00

with me. I

12:02

don't like that, and we take that

12:04

as an insult. No, he was black. Just

12:07

say that, Just fucking say that. And

12:09

and and that's a great thing. He I

12:11

agree with you. Also one

12:14

more point, rap, and you can tend more

12:16

points. The co host the two thousand and

12:18

fifteen podcast co hosts

12:20

in the year there's a reason why you

12:23

were bestowed that honor for

12:25

show. Now rap. One

12:27

other thing. There's one guy

12:29

that they no one mentioned,

12:32

the honorable Elijah Mohammed is responsible

12:35

for the Mohammed Ali that the world

12:37

loves because Mohammed Ali

12:40

didn't really finish school. He

12:42

would be the first to tell you.

12:44

You know, he he didn't get good grades.

12:47

Elijah Mohammed is the one who

12:49

taught him to love himself, love

12:51

his people, and to be And

12:54

he changed his name. He told

12:56

him get rid of that slave name the cashiers

12:59

clay and go and let me

13:01

give you a name that

13:03

will be respected around the world. And

13:05

what happened exactly.

13:08

So why do you think there's

13:12

no Muhammed Ali that you know without

13:15

Elijah Mohammed. So I just want to put his name

13:17

out there. Well, why

13:19

do you think that he's

13:21

not being tied into his legacy since

13:23

he's passed. I think it's because

13:26

he teaches black

13:29

pride. Like he he makes

13:31

men black men. He gives

13:33

them the real history and knowledge

13:36

of themselves. Because black people

13:38

in this country we get the

13:40

wrong education about ourselves.

13:43

So the self esteem is

13:45

a problem. So Elijah Mohammed builds

13:47

that up. Look what MARKA. Mets was

13:50

before he heard Elijah Mohammed.

13:52

He was a pimp. He was one of the one

13:55

of the dregs of society. Right,

13:57

So he builds the self esteem

13:59

up. And what happened to Muhammad Ali, right,

14:02

Right, now I hear you, I hear you. Um.

14:05

I I thought that the uh,

14:07

the the service UM.

14:10

You know, I think that the way the press handles

14:12

it is doing

14:14

a disservice by not explaining that stuff. I think

14:16

there's still a lot of fear and discomfort

14:19

with the nation of Islam.

14:21

I think it's gotten even worse because

14:24

of the

14:26

some of the misc not some of the we know what it

14:28

is with with the with the radical

14:31

isis and Islam that's

14:33

that's being pump pumped as

14:36

as one thing. And then obviously we know that Islam

14:38

is not a religion about um,

14:41

about violence and and and and and all

14:43

this stuff and and and Muhammad Ali,

14:46

you know, he uh,

14:48

he went through a journey and and you know, he said

14:50

something. You know, there's been so many, so

14:52

many things said. And I've watched

14:55

so much stuff on him, and it's so worthy

14:57

and and and I gotta be honest, you know, I

14:59

cry. I cried a lot

15:01

on Friday. I could literally cry, like I had an

15:03

emotional reaction to Um,

15:06

his memorial, UM, to to

15:08

the driving through the streets, to the way

15:10

the people were responding to him.

15:13

UM. It brought up a lot of emotions

15:15

for me, Like I said on the other podets, I mean Muhammed Ali,

15:18

not just for me, for tons of people, but I can speak

15:20

for myself. I mean, he's been a part of my life for

15:22

as long as I can remember, and he's always meant

15:25

so much and so much inspiration and so much

15:27

joy and so much humor. And

15:30

it was it was hard to see him go. You know,

15:32

it's crazy. I think I might have

15:34

said this, I'll repeat myself, but I I

15:36

I had thought a lot in the last I say,

15:38

ten or twelve years. Not a lot,

15:41

but I thought about it consistently about Muhammad

15:43

Ali passing and what that would mean to

15:45

me, like almost the same way I think about,

15:48

you know, a family member

15:50

passing, like you know as your family members get older,

15:52

Like I imagine that because he's

15:54

like, he's not my family, but he's

15:56

just meant so much to me um

15:59

personally as an athlete and as everything.

16:01

And it was it was hard to watch right now.

16:03

Now, imagine imagine

16:05

how we like we feel seeing like

16:09

his his his um, his identity,

16:11

like who he was being kind of whitewashed,

16:14

especially like Mohammed Ali is

16:17

very big in Black America because

16:19

he was proud of himself. You

16:21

see, o J is the opposite,

16:24

and that made in America. That I saw that

16:26

on ABC, I gained

16:29

a new distaste for this man because

16:32

of of categorically

16:35

trying to separate yourself from

16:37

your own people at that time when

16:40

we were struggling to get rights in

16:42

all the athletes are coming together,

16:44

and you get on television and say, no,

16:47

I'm not with that, and I'm so and

16:50

mohamm I don't want to be viewed I want

16:52

to be viewed as o J. Fuck you man.

16:55

So that's what I'm saying, like him, and

16:57

that's why you see they were dissing him

17:00

like they like for for somebody

17:02

to say, you know, we didn't look

17:04

at o J as black,

17:06

I would I would feel I would feel

17:09

terrible as a black

17:11

person because who you see me as? Then?

17:14

Right, I'm not? And who do you see the rest

17:16

of black America. So that's what I'm

17:18

saying, Like it's it's a coword

17:21

for I don't he It's just like that ship

17:23

didn't do the right thing, you know with the

17:25

John Tatoro, Spike Lee uh

17:27

you know seeing you know like Bruce

17:30

uh print well, those Prince

17:33

Eddie Murphy, um magic

17:35

was it magic? John said, they're not black.

17:37

I mean they're black, but they're not like you know, it's

17:40

it's it's that classic scene and and and and

17:42

do the right thing. It means it's

17:44

like, these are good ones. That's what that

17:46

means. These are good ones, and

17:48

all the other ones are are not necessarily

17:51

good. And until you go through my vetting

17:53

process and my approval process, you

17:55

ain't ship. You know. One of the things that

17:58

I can't remember it was the first person I don't remember

18:00

his name, the preacher who spoke. He

18:02

was the first person at the actual service. He

18:04

said something. It just it was so

18:06

beautiful and I never heard

18:09

it said this way. He said that. Um before

18:12

James Brown said I'm black and I'm proud,

18:14

Muhammad Ali said I'm black and I'm pretty.

18:17

And I just was like, this guy man,

18:19

he just he was He truly

18:22

was the greatest. He was the greatest

18:25

and and and he's not perfect, and he had flaws

18:27

and you know all that stuff, but he just

18:29

was the greatest man. He just was so

18:31

special and it was such so obviously

18:35

put on the earth to do something

18:38

magnificent, and he really

18:40

did it and to and

18:42

he deserved. He deserved everything, and

18:44

he was brave and and he

18:47

is. He's a champion man in

18:49

all aspects of life. Yeah.

18:51

And and the crazy thing is that his service boxing

18:54

it came up as like a side note. It

18:57

never was like, oh he did this in the ring, did that

18:59

in the That's a whole other thing.

19:02

It's like he they talk about the person

19:04

who he was, the father, he was, the husband,

19:06

the activists, and just the the the

19:08

generous soul. Uh

19:11

that he was more than any

19:13

of his skills, which were at

19:16

the time and still so unmatched

19:19

and totally it

19:21

was like when you when he came out as a

19:23

fighter, I mean, Muhammad Ali is a big

19:26

dude. When when when when he was young, he was

19:28

six three to twenty,

19:30

you know, that's a big person. That's a

19:32

large and he was moving around like a fucking

19:34

flyweight, like like like a middleweight, running

19:37

around the ring with these fast hands and these fast

19:39

feet and and all that stuff

19:41

that you know everybody mocks and you know

19:43

plays around with with the Ali shuffle and the

19:45

rope of dope and you know, the fake

19:47

and the punches, and he was doing all this in real

19:50

fights as a heavyweight. So anyway,

19:53

we could go on and on and on about Muhammad Ali.

19:55

He's gonna he came up before he passed

19:57

many times. He's gonna continue to come up, but

20:00

because he means so much of us. So both

20:02

me and you watched and I

20:05

strongly urged people to to watch it because

20:07

we're gonna we're gonna talk about it the

20:09

thirty for thirty which is airing

20:11

on ESPN, uh and

20:14

it it's airing on ABC and then it's gonna

20:16

air on the ESPN app to download

20:18

um and to stream O J.

20:20

Simpson Made in America, which

20:23

I had heard so much about and I actually had gotten

20:25

uh UM sent an early copy

20:28

of it, but

20:30

it had my name watermark, So you know, you

20:32

can't download it and sell it on a hundred and sixteen

20:34

street like a fucking scumbag. Not that

20:36

I would, UM, but

20:38

but I refused to watch it that way because I

20:40

was just so excited, uh to

20:42

to watch it. UM. And I finally uh

20:45

watch it this weekend, And you know, first

20:47

of all, I want to try to get this guy, Ezra Edelman,

20:49

the director, because this is a masterpiece. I mean, just

20:52

the filmmaking and the effort

20:54

that I know it took to make an

20:56

eight hour film of of this of

20:59

of this quality is

21:01

crazy. And then just the you

21:03

know, I only saw one part, just like everybody else,

21:05

but the dual messages UM

21:08

and the sort of biopick because it's a biopick

21:10

about o J. But it goes into

21:13

the landscape of of of the

21:15

sixties. It goes in specifically the

21:17

landscape of Los Angeles during during

21:19

the you know, it went all the way back to the thirties

21:21

and gives you the history of of of the

21:23

police department and how they were viewed and how

21:25

they viewed people black

21:30

people and and and and Latino Mexican

21:32

people predominantly in Los Angeles at that time.

21:34

UM, I mean the right off the top. The film

21:37

opens up with O. J. Simpson now

21:40

at his most recent parole here and because you

21:42

know, we forget or get confused,

21:44

he's in jail now for something that has

21:46

nothing to do with with uh with Nicole

21:48

Simpson. UM. And

21:51

and they asked him, you know, he's talking about

21:53

what he does in jail, and you know, and he cleans

21:55

toilets and he cleans you know, the fitness

21:57

equipment in La La La. And when they asked him.

22:00

When was the first time where you were arrested? You

22:03

see like this the lack of humility in

22:05

O. J. Simpson. He's like baffled

22:08

that they were asked him and you could tell that right then, We're

22:10

like, you're not getting paroled, asshole, You're still

22:12

sucking. You shouldn't get to poll

22:15

and and and Another thing that I thought was interesting is

22:17

that his his his I think I believe

22:19

it was his first wife who you learned

22:21

this in the documentary who he who

22:24

his his best friend Al Collins, who

22:26

he grew up with. Who's the guy who drove him

22:28

in the in the white Bronco who played football

22:30

with him? And that was like his his guy. His first

22:33

wife originally was Al Collins,

22:35

who was his was his best friend

22:37

at the time. He took his best

22:40

friend's girlfriend and had no qualms

22:42

about it. Um And but

22:44

I thought it was One thing I thought it was interesting

22:46

is that they have all his archival

22:48

foot as they asked O J. About um

22:52

they asked his wife when they were in college

22:54

because they were like the bell of the ball, you

22:56

know, he was like a star. They asked his wife

22:59

what kind of person is O J? And

23:01

And and her first thing

23:03

that came out of her mouth and the only thing that

23:05

came out of her mouth, And they could have edited it, but

23:08

the first thing that came out of her mouth. And again

23:10

they they there might have been more because I know how

23:12

movies are put together. But the first

23:14

thing she said was well, he's a very

23:16

serious person. He's very and I

23:19

was like that ship. I was like, who,

23:21

when you're nineteen twenty years old, who says

23:23

that about their husband? Not? Oh,

23:26

he's a loving guy, he's funny,

23:29

he's very sweet, he's a great

23:32

The first thing that she said was he's a serious

23:34

person, and I was like, what the fund is? What?

23:36

What? Why? What is she? Why is he so? What?

23:39

She's scared of? This motherfucker? Yeah?

23:43

It caught me as it caught me as weird.

23:45

But you know, I I really

23:47

really suggest everybody watches it. Um

23:50

what else about that first

23:52

episode? Were you uh? Were

23:54

you digging? And and and and and tripping out

23:56

off? I took away three

23:58

things from this this that episode when

24:01

the first when he said I'm

24:03

not black, I'm o J right

24:06

and I'm and I was baffled

24:08

by that. So in his mind,

24:11

there there's a negative connotation

24:13

with the being black right

24:16

and and him

24:20

he had a double consciousness,

24:22

like it's a term from W.

24:25

B. Du Boy du bar. He

24:28

he looks at himself through

24:30

the eyes of a hostile white

24:32

society, so he he doesn't see himself

24:35

as a black person. He looks he's looking at

24:37

himself through their eyes. So

24:40

so he doesn't want anything

24:42

to do with black people. So

24:44

as a result, this is where

24:46

your life is at the end of it. You

24:49

cannot do that, it seems

24:52

at that time, and it's probably still now some

24:54

now. In order to be embraced

24:57

by this society, the

25:00

black person has to denounce

25:02

his blackness. And o J did

25:05

that willingly and he got

25:08

rewarded. He

25:11

got rewarded. You can. He did

25:13

it in spades. He did it openly, and

25:15

it was interesting, Like they talked to the

25:18

people that created the Hurts commercials

25:20

and if you're not if you if you haven't seen it

25:22

and you're not our age, you know, the Hurts

25:24

commercials with o J were we're very

25:26

iconic number one, just because they were good

25:28

commercials. Number two, you know, he's running around the airport

25:31

jumping over ship. But when

25:33

they spoke to the people and how it was all all

25:35

came about the the the ad men, like

25:38

the TV show Madmen. Those guys

25:41

um the the head

25:43

of the ad company. He he looked

25:45

at he said, he's another one. He said, I looked at o J is

25:48

colorless. He doesn't look black.

25:50

This motherfucker had an afro. What the fuck

25:52

are you talking about? He doesn't look he said, he doesn't

25:54

have black features. He got a bell pepper

25:58

knows. I mean that he's

26:00

as black as I mean, he's not like I mean,

26:02

there's nothing not black about him. But

26:04

but but it was just he was saying his disposition.

26:07

What he was saying, the code

26:09

word is his disposition is safe to

26:12

me. His disposition is he's not like

26:14

those other black people. He's not like those

26:17

and words, that's what you want to say, Fred

26:19

Fred Levinson. That guy just just

26:22

straight up looking at the camera, just dis in black

26:24

people. And this guy was

26:26

there, you know, like during the

26:28

sixties, early seventies or whatever, and I'm

26:30

sure they were saying that ship to him and he was smiling.

26:32

He's one of them dudes. Is the Iron Rapport

26:35

26:37

26:44

26:47

26:49

plants from Microsoft. We're gonna see more new titles

26:51

from Sony PlayStation. How about Nintendo

26:53

interviews, rock tables, discussions, reviews,

26:56

hand on impressions and moreen

26:59

coverage on radio radio

27:03

dot com or for slash

27:06

gamer Tag, we

27:17

gotta discuss um

27:19

Draymond Green getting suspended. Um,

27:23

I here's what I want to say before

27:25

we discussed the game itself.

27:29

Lebron James has been to seven finals.

27:31

Now, he's won four m vps

27:33

and countless other awards and records, and

27:36

now you could add snitch to

27:39

your resume. Fuck Draymond

27:42

called him a bit. I heard he actually

27:44

called him a mark ass

27:46

bitch. I don't know if that's true. Other reports

27:49

said that Draymond Green called Lebron James

27:51

a punk ass bitch, and then there was a third

27:53

report that said Draymond Green called him

27:55

a bitch ass track. I have no idea which

27:58

one of these are true, but it was all the

28:00

The B word was apparently using

28:02

that set Lebron off and then the whole incident,

28:04

which we don't need to go over, but I will real quick because

28:06

I assume some of the people out here don't follow

28:08

basketball and don't give a ship, and that's because of the

28:10

worldwide popularity of the Iron Report SEEO

28:13

podcast. But essentially, Draymond Green has accumulated

28:15

a bunch of technical fouls. Blah blah blah

28:17

blah blah. After the game, Lebron James

28:20

uh he he said that Draymond

28:22

called him a word that was unacceptable and that

28:24

he crossed the line which was either punk ass

28:27

bitch marc as bitch or bitch ass trick and

28:30

that along with the fact that Draymond Green

28:32

he didn't hit him in the dick. He might have

28:34

tried to, but every man will attest

28:36

if you get hitting the dick softer hard,

28:39

you will keel over at least for a second.

28:41

Even if you don't get hit, you'll

28:44

keel over and you'll grab yourself to make sure

28:46

everything is functional. The fact

28:48

that Lebron James didn't get hit prus he only

28:50

got hit in the shorts was Lebron was

28:52

Draymond's intention to possibly hit him in the

28:54

dick a k The loaf. Yes

28:57

it was, but he didn't do it because Lebron

28:59

James didn't react to it. So he essentially hit him

29:01

in the shorts and then he got an awarded a

29:03

freak, a flagrant foul, and he's suspended

29:05

for Game five. I think it's bullshit. I

29:08

think Lebron James has added snitch

29:10

and again this is just proving

29:13

the moniker. Lebron blames. He

29:16

he blamed Draymond

29:18

for his his reaction and

29:20

for for him losing his cool a k A.

29:22

Lebron blames and

29:24

I don't know, man, I think it Fox with the

29:27

I think they should have suspended them for ten games and

29:29

going into the regular season instead of this ship.

29:31

This is the NBA Finals. This this is not

29:33

cool. What's the big deal about somebody

29:36

calling you a bitch on the court like we

29:38

played basketball? I mean, that's

29:40

that's that's light thing. I mean people, yeah,

29:43

that that's the funking. That's like, that's like that's

29:45

at the opening tap. I get called a bitch when

29:47

it come out to shake hands. That's that's

29:50

nothing. That's not nothing,

29:52

yo. And why

29:55

is this guy stepping over him?

29:57

You don't have to do right, he

30:00

have to do that. He probably thought he probably thought

30:02

it was David Blatt, so he could step over

30:04

him like he did David Blatt to get

30:06

to fucking to to to get him thrown

30:08

out of there. So anyway, we're gonna we're gonna

30:11

go into the results of Game five. Yo.

30:13

I'm telling you right now, this

30:15

is a very very exciting thing. We're

31:18

I'm looking forward to this. Man. Yeah,

31:20

it's gonna be nice. It's gonna be nice. Um.

31:23

You know, I'm not big into the Tony Awards.

31:26

My lady uh was

31:28

in the crib last night. I

31:30

was trying to sleep. I

31:32

can't, I can't. I can't funk with the Tony Awards.

31:35

It's just not my thing. And you know, the reality of is

31:37

that those people that sing and dance on

31:39

Browing are so much more talented

31:41

than the big Hollywood

31:43

stars, including myself. These fucking

31:45

guys sing, dance, they do it all on que

31:48

the cast of Hamilton, all the casts of all

31:50

those shows, all of them. They're

31:52

incredible. I just don't give a fuck

31:55

now. And one of the reasons why I don't give a funk

31:57

is because when I go to these theater events, when I go

31:59

to see the live shows, it's like, forget about

32:01

coach. If you sit and coach in

32:04

the middle that's

32:06

what it's like sitting to to watch a Tony Award

32:08

in a good seat, a coach seat in the middle

32:11

row. There's no way

32:13

around it. You could, You'll spend five and

32:15

have motherfucker's like all on you

32:18

front, back and center. I can't

32:20

do it. But one of the things that stuck out to me.

32:22

You know, I used to love Meg Ryan. Megrahan

32:24

was a ginormous fucking star. You

32:27

know, when Harry met Sally was obviously

32:30

probably her biggest role. But she's done tons and

32:32

tons and tons of things. You know, she

32:34

distorted her face. This was a cute,

32:37

you know, like she was never like dropped it gorgeous,

32:40

but she was always cute and attractive. And I don't

32:42

know why. She's only fifty four years old.

32:44

I don't know what it's not

32:46

aging. She did something crazy

32:49

to her face, man, and ruined her face.

32:51

Man, it looks nuts. I feel

32:53

so bad for this woman. She looks crazy.

32:56

Hey, is that it is that Kim Kardashian thing?

32:58

Man? Ain't they following her? Yeah?

33:01

It looks it looks I feel bad for her. I saw her

33:03

in real life once after she had done it, and it wasn't

33:05

as bad as she she looked last night

33:07

on the on the the the Tony's. But

33:09

she looked crazy. She looked really

33:11

really nuts. Um and uh,

33:14

other than that, you know, just so you know, because

33:16

there was the big uh because I you know

33:18

all the protesters. We've talked about

33:20

this too. You know, the oscars so white,

33:23

four actors

33:25

of color, one major

33:28

musical awards last night at the Tony's. I

33:30

don't see any uh hoop lah

33:32

about it when people win, so

33:35

that should be acknowledged. Four actors of

33:37

colors, Congratulations to them, won

33:40

big awards last night at the Tony's. But but

33:42

but this should be brought to the attention. Um

33:44

when you when when when self serving folk

33:47

want to protest other awards

33:50

shows? Um, you

33:52

know what I mean? Because because no one's talking about

33:54

that, where where's the where's the shoutouts

33:56

and the videos congratulating

33:58

these people for winning. It's it's only when ship's

34:00

bad or if you're if you're

34:02

you know, baby daddy or your cousin or your

34:04

own film doesn't get

34:07

nominated, then you want to get hyped. But but where

34:09

did you send these people a rolex? Protesters

34:12

did? Did they get a cake? Something, a pair of sneakers

34:14

and New Balance anything? So it's

34:17

the iron rapports, stereo pockets, miles, Let me

34:19

get some funk, Let me get some funk recuse let me

34:21

36:13

have the new hard body Karate T shirt

36:16

and it's hard body and it says hard body

36:18

Karate, but it's also a soft ass T shirt. I

36:20

mean, what more can you ask for? I don't know, you

36:23

see me wearing them. I rock my ship on television.

36:25

What the funk you want me to do? You'll

36:27

have a have an acting question, man, Okay,

36:30

give it to me. Give it to me man. In

36:33

your opinion, what constitutes

36:36

great acting? In

36:39

my opinion, it's a good question, Monettie.

36:42

What constitutes great acting is

36:46

an honesty if you

36:48

believe, essentially, at the end of the day, if

36:50

you believe what that

36:53

person, that that that woman or man is

36:55

doing on screen, on

36:58

on stage. Shout out to all the theater

37:01

actors of even in a

37:03

commercial when they're selling

37:05

a product, the believability

37:08

and then when you add the seasoning,

37:12

the the the the salt, the pepper, the

37:15

paprika and all the other ship. When

37:17

you get into de niro land, showing

37:20

pen Land, al Pacino Land,

37:22

Denzel land, when you get into greatness,

37:25

when you get into that suspended reality

37:27

land. And they don't always do it every single

37:29

time. But but those guys that I mentioned,

37:32

along with many, many, many, many many other people.

37:34

We could be the person on your favorite you know

37:36

TV show, Brian Krantz and Tony So it doesn't

37:38

matter. It could be a supporting actor on Law

37:41

and Order. When you get into that you

37:43

know where you're just compelled. That's

37:45

like your seasoning. But the bare bones that for

37:48

me, what constitutes great acting is

37:51

the believability if you could believe

37:54

what you're seeing and what you're hearing, and you

37:56

get lost in what you're seeing and what you're hearing.

37:59

So that's that's my short answer. That that's another great

38:01

question from the two Stereo

38:05

podcast co host of the Year. So

38:09

I know I have not done the

38:11

DeNiro line of the week, Um,

38:15

apologies, um, but I'm back

38:17

with the DeNiro line of the week, and and

38:19

I was really trying to figure out something special to do,

38:21

and then it hit me like a

38:23

bolt of lightning. Since

38:26

uh Lebron

38:29

James is now

38:33

the Henry Hill of the NBA, what

38:37

better DeNiro line of

38:39

the Week scene should I do? Then

38:42

Henry Hill, Tommy

38:44

DeVito, Jimmy Conway

38:48

with Spider played by Michael imperially,

38:50

so it's DeNiro, Pashi Ra Lota,

38:53

and you know the other crew. Frank

38:56

Adonis is in that scene. You know, he's

38:59

also in this scene. So this is

39:01

the scene, the second scene with Spider

39:03

and Goodfellows, which is a classic amongst

39:05

classics, amongst classics. Um,

39:08

but this. This DeNiro line of the week is

39:11

dedicated to Lebron James since he's now anointed

39:14

UH the Henry Hill of the

39:16

NBA for snitching on Draymond Green,

39:19

consequently giving the Cleveland

39:21

Cavaliers the edge of UH

39:23

to the game game five, which me

39:25

and Moody will get into after this UM.

39:28

But here is me playing all three parts.

39:31

It's not a very heavy UH DeNiro

39:34

scene. It's more of a UH. It's more of a UM

39:38

Joe Pesci scene. But you

39:40

know, Joe Pesci, DeNiro, Dear

39:42

DeNiro, Joe Pesci, you know what it

39:45

is, all right? So this

39:47

is the second time Spider came

39:49

back, and this is after he shot him.

39:52

Jimmy Conway, Tommy DeVito, Henry

39:55

Hill, Joe Pesci shoots

39:57

him and action, what the fund

39:59

is matter with you? What is it a fucking matter

40:02

with you? What are you stupid? Or what? Timmy? I'm

40:04

kidding with you? What the funk are you doing? What

40:07

are you a fucking sick maniac? Am

40:09

I supposed to know? You're kidding? You mean, you're kidding,

40:12

You're breaking my fucking bulls. I'm fucking kidding

40:14

with you. You fucking shoot the guy? He's

40:17

dead. I'm a good shot. From

40:19

me, I'm a good shot. He's a fucking rat anyway,

40:21

his whole family's rats. He's gonna grow up

40:23

to be a rat. Hole. So, you stupid bastard.

40:26

I can't fucking believe you know what. You're

40:28

gonna dig the fucking thing. Now, You're gonna

40:30

dig the fucking hole. You're gonna do what. I got no fucking

40:32

line. You're gonna do it. Who cares well, I'll

40:35

take a fucking hole. I'm gonna fuck What was the

40:37

first fucking hole I dig? Not the first

40:39

time? I Doug Hall dig the fucking hole where

40:42

the shovels. That's it, good Fellas.

40:44

DeNiro line of the Week. It's been a long

40:47

time, uh,

40:49

but we're back with de Neniro line of the Week. That scene

40:51

was dedicated to Lebron James a ka

40:54

the Snitch a k a. The Henry Hill

40:56

of the NBA. We'll be right back with more I

41:48

I Am Rapp Reports stereo podcast. We've covered

41:50

it all and now

41:52

41:55

42:19

Lebron, I ain't gonna let

42:21

them guys just lose like that. Remember,

42:24

Remember this is Lebron James. Remember when

42:27

he's with Cleveland earlier in his career

42:29

against ya, I know, I know, we all fucking

42:31

no, yeah me before

42:34

he jump I

42:37

didn't say it was chop liver. I

42:39

thought it was blood in the water. But I never said he was

42:41

chopped liver. But I thought he was blood in the water. I

42:45

thought Golden State would be able to pull it out. They

42:48

didn't pull it out, and I gotta go back to fucking Cleveland,

42:50

and I say, I like, I'm actually going fuck

42:53

you. See with Steph

42:55

Curry games like this, you

43:08

and they're celebrating tonight. They don't go back

43:10

home, they don't go back to the opponent's home.

43:14

Yeah, well this was an astrict type of situation

43:16

because they Yeah, Lebron, Yeah

43:18

he snitched on guys. Yeah. Yeah,

43:21

He's a fucking Henry Hill of the NBA. I

43:23

said it once, I said it twice, and I probably said it

43:25

five times during this podcast, and I'll say

43:27

it one more time. All Right, He's

43:29

the Henry Hill of the NBA. Him at D'Angelo

43:32

Russell are contending for NBA

43:34

Snitch of the Year. I mean, it's gonna be hard to beat

43:37

D'Angelo for what he did, but this, the

43:39

consequences of what Lebron did are

43:41

are are competitive. So anyway, So

43:44

so, since you're so since you're so on top of

43:46

it, since you're like Mr, you know, you have your

43:48

finger on the pulse of what's gonna happen in the NBA.
