How's it going? For those of you who follow me on Twitter, you guys know that I have a special guest this week
and we're going to get right to it
because he's already bugging me with this fucking giant shirt
We have the one and only Michael Rappaport from every film that you've ever fucking watched
Nice to have you on here
You're reinventing the podcast because you said podcasts, your accent, P-A-W-D
Cast
And I'm talking shit about accents
That's the Boston podcast
I know
But I like...
That's the Boston accent
I know I got it
I got it
Because a lot of people, when they do...
You actually pick up on that, it's that we say P-A-W...
We say Boston, B-A-W, like Boston
And people always go, where are you from?
And I say, you know, I grew up outside of Boston
And then they go, oh, Boston?
It's like, no dude, Boston
Yeah
Like Saw with a B
No, I got you
Yeah
I know I'm not one to talk about accents
But I like the Boston accent
I like it because it's more fucked up than the New York accent
That's why I like it
It just all depends
It all depends
I have to adjust these levels
It is like apples and oranges
But I like the Boston accent
And I like the Chicago accent
Their shit is way out there
Yeah, and that's one that I can't even duplicate
I haven't been out to the Midwest enough, like in Chicago, to even try and do a bad...
It sounds like everybody's doing an SNL character
The Chicago accent is just, it's just, I love it
You like the Chicago accent?
I just like working class accents
Like Boston, New York
Well, what I think about you is you've lived out here forever
And you never lost your accent
Yeah, I haven't lost it
You must have had the voice coaches and all that saying like
Yeah
Michael, if you want to work more in this industry
Yeah, they warned me
But you know, all the actors that I really admire
They never truly lose their accent
So I was like, if they don't have to do it
And of course as good as them
I'm of course referring to the De Niro's and Pacino's
Because when you mention De Niro, Pacino, Rappaport
It's like De Niro, Pacino, Rappaport, Brando, Rappaport
Sometimes they put De Niro, Pacino, Brando, Rappaport
And that's fine
You don't get upset?
No, I don't get upset
But you know, I've lost it a little bit here and there
You could tone it down, you could do variations on it
But when you go back, because when I go back to Boston
And I run into some people who really have it hardcore
I burst out laughing going like
Especially when it's a beautiful girl
Back in Massachusetts and that heinous accent
Like are you sure?
They'll say stuff like that and it's coming out of their mouth
And they sound like they're fucking
Like there's something, they have brain damage
And there is those times where I'm just like
Wow, I used to
And I never thought I had it that bad
I have some old stand up tapes that I will never show anybody
Oh, where you could really hear it?
Oh dude, I'm brutal
I would win an Oscar
Like if it was for a Boston accent
How bad it was
I still have it pretty bad
Yours is good, but when we were working in Boston
Yours, because we were playing
Of course, my Boston accent is
It's pretty
You just sound east coast
I was the black sheep of the family
So I was like, he must have left Boston
Yeah, he went upstate
But yours was hard, I was like
Because it was you and there was other Boston people
I was like, they really got that shit down
You know, people were really in their native
Their native tongue
Yeah, no, no, I didn't get anything down
I was from there
I don't do any work
But just to let people know, we did a movie
This summer called The Heat
With Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy
And the director of
Bridesmaid, Paul Feig
It's comedy, R-rated comedy
Bill's really funny in it
Curses a lot
Everybody curses a lot
We're a dysfunctional family
Yeah, we all play
And we all play brothers, which is
Of course, when I tweeted out
That you were going to be on the podcast here
And I was just saying, if you have any questions
Let me know, and I knew it was going to be a bunch of
What are you guys, brothers, the pigment thing and all that
The redhead
The sun cancer twins
All that shit, they weren't even that good
And that's the thing, they send them to me
Like they're going to make me laugh
And they think they're so fucking clever
And it was basically 70 of the exact same joke
I should actually read the funny one
What were some of the highlights?
You want to hear some of these?
Sometimes I set myself up on Twitter
To see if I'm going to get some good stuff
And people make me laugh, even if they're insulting me
I'll see if I can
Fuck you if you insult me on Twitter, by the way
I don't respond back
I might just retweet because
I got kids and it's just not
What good does it do?
When I first got on Twitter, I would get into arguments with people
Oh, and you're making that day?
Yeah, I'm actually interacting with them
Yeah, he told me to fuck off
Fuck your mother
And they put that on there
Alright, well this may as a good one
Why did stupid fox cancel his show The War at Home?
So that's a nice one, they were a fan
They were a fan, they were a fan
Politics, man, politics
Politics and show business, just like politics and politics
Let's see what we got here
Everything good?
Do you think you were separated at birth?
That's funny
We're going to discuss Sunblock
I thought you and him were the same guy
There's another one
Ask Rappaport if he realizes he's white
I love that, just because you're from Brooklyn
And you have an appreciation for
A culture other than your own
Yeah
Where are we? I don't know, it's just going to be more
I'm not going to waste time fucking blowing through this stuff
But
What was I going to ask you? I was going to get into this thing
The whole way this whole podcast
You being on the podcast came about
It wasn't just that
We're working together
We both have dogs
Right
The big thing is to curb your dog
If you have a dog, like in New York City
I think they were the first ones
Pooper Scooper
Where I was from
Basically to get the dog shit off
And then that became
A thing, because when I was a kid
If your dog took a shit, it just took a shit
It was just outside, it barely had a license
So now you're supposed to pick up after it
So I never owned a dog in New York
But I own one out here, and I always pick up after her
And you had this
Interesting duality as far as
When and where you pick up after your dog
Yes, well, here's the deal
I grew up, I never had dogs
So when I actually got my first dog
I lived in Los Angeles, and of course
You want to follow, you got the dog a license
And pick up after the dog
And I was good
And I would carry the shit bags
And I would pick up the shit, and then I had two dogs
So it would be, you know, you'd have to bring
Three or four shit bags per trip
Because each dog, who knows what's going to happen
But
The thing is, then I moved
To Los Angeles, then I moved back to New York
With my two dogs, and in New York
What kind of dogs?
Muts, two months
But this is where the conversation
Between me and Bill about dog shit
And shit bags got interesting
Because I said, I don't use shit bags anymore
Now, I'm back living in Los Angeles
And Bill, there was
Just a sense of judgment
You don't use shit bags
In LA, I don't use shit bags
And the reason why, here's the deal
In New York, I use shit bags
I clean up all the dog
No, no, no, no, no
That's not why
No, I would pick up the shit, and then be able to
Walk to the corner, and drop the shit bag
In the garbage pail
Okay, in Los Angeles
There's not, and so in New York, there's garbage cans
On every corner
There is, yes there is
There's garbage cans
Sometimes they're filled all the way to the top
And the garbage is spilling out, but at least it's the place to get rid of the shit
Bag, full of shit
In Los Angeles, for those who are not familiar
With Los Angeles, there are not garbage cans
On every corner
So, therefore, when you are walking
Your dog, and two dogs
When I made up my own rule about this
You pick up the dog crap
I don't want to keep saying shit
You pick up the dog crap in the shit bag
And then you carry it
And you could be walking
3, 4, 5, 6 blocks
With it
Now I'm carrying, I have two dogs on a leash
Medium sized dogs, 50, 60 pound dogs
With two
Shit bags
Buy my side
It's not like you could take the shit bag and put it in your pocket
And then dump it out
Like a candy wrapper
That's not cool
That we have to walk around with two shit bags
It's not the picking up, it's the carrying of the shit
It's the carrying of it
Now I could change my rule and pick up the shit
Put it in the shit bags and then throw that right on the side of the street
And then someone else has to deal with it
But a person
But just to play devil's advocate
Play it
You got the two fucking dogs
Alright
You live in a nice upstanding neighborhood
You're considered a good citizen
Of this city
Not by anyone who knows me
Do your neighbors like see
Like your dogs take shit
And you just walk away
So when you're in LA
Do you at least put your head on a swivel and be like
Oh there's a basket over there
I will pick this lump of shit out
I do not buy shit bags anymore
I have zero tolerance
I don't fuck with shit bags anymore
And the reason why I don't fuck with shit bags anymore
Is because I'm not walking around with bags of shit
It's just not cool
It's degrading
How is it degrading
To walk with
A steaming hot bag
Of shit for like
You don't hold it from underneath
I got two
While I have one dog, Stanley died
R.I.P. Stanley
She was old
Even now I have a big dog
Dog takes big
Shits
And then I can't walk
Text
Because you got to text when you're walking your dog
That's when you get good text
That's good text time when you're walking your dog
I can't walk the dog
Who I sometimes take off the leash
She's trained and then carry a shit bag
I'm just not doing it
And I'll tell you something
You say upstanding citizen
And I'm like this
The game, I'll refer to it as the game
The shit game
You don't get mad
Nope, you shit on my yard
It is what it is
My dog shits in your yard
It is what it is
Sometimes there is a tinge of guilt
Because I know some of my neighbors
So I'll be like oh shit
There's a six year old there
He's probably going to wind up stepping in it
There's a six year old girl
Do you least like when your dog takes the shit
Do you stand there defiantly like
I know my dog is taking his shit
I tend to be talking on the phone
And not notice it
Are you a worm about it
I'm a worm about it
I'm not going to front
Listen, there's sometimes I'll fain
Like I'm bending over
And I'm doing something to pick it up
Or if somebody goes hey your dog just went to
Oh you know he's sick
I ran out of shit bags
I'm not going to
Because I've had confrontations
One dude
I took a shit
Because now that you have
You've had fame for a while but you're not some random
You can't believe what this fucking asshole did
You can't believe
I will accept that
I will not argue that
It's part of the shit game
I got to turn this down man because we're fucking getting into this
I think I got the levels too high here
If you want to insult me, criticize me, judge me
On my policies with shit bags
Fine, it's not a Los Angeles thing
I love Los Angeles, I'm from New York
If you put a garbage can on every corner
This will go out the door
You got a problem with me, put it on
So you have demands
Listen, I'm not walking more than a half a block
With a shit bag in my hand
Who's the most famous person you've seen walking with a shit bag
For a good six blocks
You ever just been driving around
And you'd be like oh there's Mary Tyler Moore
With a shit bag
Have you ever seen somebody with a shit bag?
Somebody famous? No
I think that they have their assistant
That's what your problem is
You need like an assistant
I need to walk the dog
I need that text time
I need to clear my head
I got two kids, get out of the house for a few minutes
And I do my thing
But I will tell you one time
Do your kids know that you don't pick up your shit?
Unfortunately, yes
And I say, you know, don't
So this is a three prong problem
And then it's creating other little kids
But I explain to them the reason why
If you carry that shit bag
You even have to make it back to your house
Say you're ten blocks away from your house
Dude, I live it every morning
You walk with a shit bag eight, nine, ten blocks
You know, it's almost, remember that Tom Hanks movie
Where he was like talking to the soccer ball
Like literally, like it's to that point
And doesn't it disrupt
Once you pick up the shit and you have the shit bag
That's the only thing you're thinking about
And then sometimes you get so relaxed
It's just like you forget that it's even in your hand
And it's like just dangling
You know what it is when she takes a fucking horrific shit
This isn't going to be the shit podcast here, by the way
When she takes one of those horrific
Shit steamer that you can literally
See through the bag and then you're
Walking with it and then some hot shit comes
Jogging by, you just, you just feel like an asshole
It's degrading, man, it's degrading
And that's what I think, I had
I loved degrading, it is
I've had people say pick your shit up
You know, I had one guy
My dog, and I told this guy
I shook his hand afterwards, my dog
At his yard, I kept walking
I told him that the dog is sick
This guy's a prick anyway
This one he first moved in the neighborhood
And I didn't know he was much more prick
No, I respected that
We got into some other thing later
He cursed out my kid and some other kids
Called them really bad names
And it was bad
No, it wasn't even that
He was just, you know, one of those guys
Like it was whatever
But my dog shat in his yard
And then he said something
I said the dog is sick or whatever
One of my two or three
Excuses I had, I kept going
This fucking guy
I was walking three, four blocks away
Picked up the shit in a shit bag
Drove up to me, so he picked up the shit
In a shit bag and brought the shit bag in his car
I respected it
And he came up to me in your dog's shit
And he handed me the shit bag and I said, you know what
I respect that
I took the shit, I said
He didn't want to shake, he didn't want to shake me
I said, please, please, I shook his hand
And he went on
And then I dropped the shit bag right there
But you're acting like you're noble
That this guy had to go pick up your shit
You be like, you know what, I respect that
I respect that you just picked up my dog's shit
It's good for grass
It's good, depends on what you feed him
If you feed him the human food
Then this shit is as healthy as our shit
It's fine, it's good for the grass
Have you noticed that by the way?
Except for a human being
And I've shat on my own yard
Okay, we gotta get into this
No, no, no
That's my shit bag
No, no problem
I bought these fucking human cigars
And I put them in the fucking humidor
And I had it turned up too fucking high
And it fucked up the cigars
Like, they get this fucking acceptable
There's like fucking little bug eggs in there
And if it's up too high
They like hatch, I don't know what
I have in them, I think I got a virus in me
It's gradually
This is the most disgusting
First ten minutes I think of a podcast
I don't want to discuss people, I'm not like one of these people
Who likes to talk about shit
Alright, so on a scale of
One to ten
As far as your upstanding
Citizen count, ten being the best
One being like, I can't wait for that motherfucker
To move out of this neighborhood
Where are you?
Aside from dog stuff, I'm a good neighbor
I consider myself a good neighbor
It's like Manson say, aside from
Getting people killed, I'm a good dog
No, no, no, aside from my dog
My dog is harmless, the dog couldn't hurt a fly
Listen, my house got broken into
The fucking dog was sleeping
It said on the police report, it said the dog was sleeping
Oh, you freaked me out about that
You were home and somebody came in
And just like the boldness of that
Just came into your house at night
Took like whatever, laptop or some bullshit
Took stuff and my dog
Didn't wake up
Cops come
Dog fucking bolts out there
Cops pull a pepper spray
No, don't pepper spray him
When he had his moment to shine
To bark, attack, do something
He was sleeping
I made this reference the other day
He's like that dude Bobby
In Saturday Night Fever
Driving around the crowd
What were you guys, I was looking for you
Exactly, I would have done something
You actually made me, I got
They fucking got Gus in Saturday Fever
Remember they beat up Gus, that's why they went back
And got them
I've only seen it a couple of times
Saturday Fever? I know, I know that's a big one
For you guys, you guys in Brooklyn
You're from Brooklyn by the way
I'm from Manhattan
I went to school in Brooklyn, I have a lot of friends
I have a lot of affiliations in Brooklyn
You know people, you go to Brooklyn, they know you
I got a Brooklyn pass
Let me ask you this
Let me get into this shit, are we done with this shit topic here?
I'm fine with it, you brought it up
I'm comfortable with it, you were fascinated by it
I'm comfortable with my stance on it
Because you know what it is, I have such a
Fucking need to be liked
When we come back after this
You're gonna talk about your needs to be liked?
I'm gonna talk about that and how I just found out
From my fucking neighbor how loud I am
I had no idea
I have that problem too
I think it's an east coast thing, we're just loud

Let's do it
We saw Bruce Springsteen, by the way
The other night down in Anaheim
Oh, I thought you saw him around here? No, no, no, no, sorry
That's cool. Yeah, and I had never seen him
And I was one of those guys going, dude, I don't get it
All he does is sing about Jersey, but like so many people
I know who work borderline
Did he do his southern accent?
Because he's from Jersey, but he does his southern accent sometimes
Which is weird to me
He didn't do that. Do you know what I'm talking about?
I'm just, you know, he does like a southern accent
But he's from Jersey
He's the common man
But you're from Jersey
Go ahead, go ahead, I don't want to shit on Bruce
He went, and I was down there like
Alright, man, you know, alright
I wasn't gonna say born to be wild, born to run
Or whatever, I'll listen to this shit
Dude, I gotta tell you something, man
The fact that I ever think that I gave a performance
After seeing what that guy did
Dude, four songs in
I'm already blown away
He's blown away bands that are in their 20s and 30s that I've seen
Just fucking killing it, his voice sounds unreal
Goes out to the middle of the crowd
He's standing on this stage out there
People are going fucking nuts
And then he just lays back
Into the crowd and crowd surfs
Like 70 rows
Up to the, as the band keeps playing
And right as he gets onto the stage
Boom, they go right into the closing verse
Dude, that's on-core
That's, you know, that's somebody
Closing out a great concert
That was his fourth song
And it didn't peak there, it just kept going
He wore me out, dude, I was sitting down
Three and a half hours of that energy
Yeah, that's crazy
He is no joke, dude
It was sick
And the thing about that that I love so much
Is that he doesn't have to do three and a half hours
He loves to perform
Totally, you totally get your money's worth
Like that, he was like
Whether you like it or not, like Bruce
I got longer than Schindler's list
What the fuck, Bruce, I gotta go, man
I gotta take my dog out to take a shit
Every time, I'm so old
And they do that shit where they have like
They hit the final note of the song
And Weinberg's doing the simple watch
And they're playing a chord
And you think he's gonna be like, thanks a lot, Anaheim
You were great, and he always just goes
One, two, three, four, and they go into them
I'm like, oh my god
You just kept thinking that this guy couldn't get
Dude, and it's fucking Anaheim
One of the cheesiest like
He said it, not me
That's Bill talking about Anaheim
Dude, it doesn't even look real
Back in the day when they had like all the orange groves
And stuff, they could have been some sort of personality
It's just one fucking strip mall
After another, it looks like a giant
It's Disneyland down there, right, Anaheim?
Yeah, like there's no
There isn't that
Feeling of any sort of culture
Either way
And he's down there performing
Like he's in giant stages
Yeah, I respect that, man
So anyway, so today
That fucking born to run song
I never was into, so I'm up in the bathroom
And I'm singing it, but I'm doing different lyrics
And I'm singing to Nia
And it's all vulgar
Were you born to come?
No, no, no, I was just saying how
I was starting off saying
I was just singing about what a great guy I was
And that Nia doesn't appreciate it
And all the shit that I do for her
But indicate it's a born to run?
Yeah, and then somehow there was something about banging you in the ass
That's cool
That's cool
Like maybe hey, I don't need a Christmas gift
I'll bang you in the ass
She'll never let me do that
But she'll never let me do that
So I was singing that
And I got all the way to the
Loudest fucking out
So I walk out of the bathroom
I didn't realize my bedroom window was open
I go, hey Nia, did you like that Bruce Springsteen impression?
And before she could answer
I heard somebody just in a talking voice goes
No, and I was like oh shit
It was your neighbor?
And I was thinking like holy fuck
How much have they been hearing?
How loud am I?
And then Nia, I kept wanting Nia
To make me feel better, but she just goes
You know, you're loud
There's times I pull up in the car
And I hear you on the phone
And it's making me really self-conscious
Like fuck, I'm that loud
And I felt bad until you fucking come
And you hit the buzzer
And I pick it up and I'm like hello
And you start screaming Derrick cheater
And I'm like this is fucking
Maybe it's just an East Coast
Well as far as upstanding citizens
And loudness
I've come to terms with the fact that my neighbors
Know everything about me
If they wanted to like, you know
Start a scandal on me or
They know my whole life
I got this buddy of mine
Becky's big giant Yankee fence
We have these epic fucking
Arguments
About sports where I'm just like
And I'm yelling like we're in a crowded bar
I can't imagine, I feel bad for my neighbors
And what they've heard
I know they've heard me doing
Dude, my neighbors on this side have kids
And the stuff that I say cunt all the time
She doesn't give me dirty looks
But I look at it like she has a toddler
And I can never hear her kid
Well if you never hear the little
Loudmouth kid screaming and crying
You should ask her
You ever hear me say cunt
Or fuck you
I don't want to offend your kids
You should just ask her
I don't know, I think that would get
Whatever
It takes a lot for me to be embarrassed
At this point, you know
In general you become immune to humiliation
Every audition you go into
And you eat your balls after a while
You just don't feel it anymore
But that I literally got
That made me feel
I was embarrassed, I was like wow
She heard all of that
The way she said no to
This was not the first time I heard
My loud voice
You just opened the window up for her
They opened the window literally for her
To get involved with the conversation
And I was fantasizing about all these cool
Comebacks that I wished I said
But in the end I just had to realize
You know what, she was right
I've come to terms with it
I got a loud speaking voice
But I'm in my house, I'm not bringing it down
So you hear what you hear
But I turn music up, I got a pool
And I turn the fountains on when I'm there
It's not like
It's not a fault that fucking houses are two feet
I could literally take a running leap out
If I could leap through my bedroom window
And I could land on the roof of the house next door
Right, I know we're on top of each other
Not the house, I mean it's slamming to the side
You'd be there
I would definitely be there
Some sports questions
I know people want to know about your movies and shit
But I just figured that you've answered
I'll answer whatever
Before I go into more sports shit
We haven't started, but I always end up talking sports
Right out of the gate dude
You were in one of the greatest movies
Of my life
True romance
And I was wondering
You were basically roommates with Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt at that point?
He was almost Brad Pitt at that point
He had done
Thelma and Louise
The movie with Robert Redford
He had done stuff
He had done California
He wasn't the superstar
But you knew that he was going to be that
He was very well liked
And he was
About to be Brad Pitt
You knew that?
Yeah, he was good looking son of a bitch with his abs
No, no, no, he was real
He was totally cool
The thing about true romance
First of all, the script was so great
When you read the script
Quentin Tarantino's scripts
They just read so easy
And you're just laughing
And it was so irreverent
I'd say about 95%
Of what wound up in true romance
Was written
It's so actor friendly
It's hard to screw it up
I had heard
Initially it was like Christian Slater
And Patricia Arquette
I had just seen in Sean Penn's movie
Called Indian Runner
And she was great in that
And I was like, this is going to be dope
And Christian Slater was right at that time
He was perfect
And then you heard Gary Oldman's playing
Whatever
The Pimp
That's cool
And then Val Kilmer's playing Elvis
So you were already
I wasn't cast
I had been going in for another part
I had been going in for one of the mobsters
And
Actually I got cast as one of the mobsters
As one of the younger mobsters
So I was kind of like
You would have been in that scene
With the classic scene
I would have been in there
Around there
So then you heard Walken's playing
The mobster, holy shit
And then Dennis Hopper's playing his dad
Holy shit
And I'm 24 years old
I had done Zebrahead
A little part in Poetic Justice
Tupac
I just wanted to meet him
And then a little part
In another movie
And then True Romance
I was such a fan of all these guys
And I was so sort of
Everybody was
How big was Tupac by the time
He was Tupac
He was doing Poetic Justice
He was like a star
I thought he kind of came out
Who's that guy? The Humpty Dance Guy
In like 90, 89, 90
Then he broke out on his own
I would think he was still on the ride
He wasn't what he became
He became this iconic
I loved him though, this was after Juice
I loved his music
He wasn't the star that he became
After Death Throw
And he really took it to the next level
But he was big
And I thought
Juice's performance in this movie
Juice was just incredible
At that time, I mean I was still a huge fan of movies
And huge fan of actors
But at that time I would become enamored
With people's performances
I liked his music and I had a funny
Kind of relationship
Following him because I was friends with Jada Pinkett
And she kept telling me before he did anything
My friend Tupac, he's going to be a big star
Tupac, and I had heard his name
And then he came out with Humpty Dance
And he came out with that one verse
On Digital Underground
Then of course his solo album
And I was just like, damn, this guy is special
And so to do that
It was John Singleton who was just off of Boys in the Hood
And Janet Jackson
When Janet Jackson was like, Janet Jackson
You worked with everybody
By the time you were 24 you were with
Just about every icon out there
And it meant a lot to me
I get excited now, but at the time
I was young and I was like
Really excited
And it was Quentin Tarantino
Who had done Reservoir Dogs
Natural Born Killers had come out
I think
He didn't direct this
And I had met Quentin originally
At the Sundance Film Festival
Because the year that Reservoir Dogs was there
Was the same year that Zebrahead was there
And that was a big deal for me
It was a big deal for him, he was nobody
I was really nobody
And that was a really exciting time
For independent filmmaking
The script was being passed around
Hollywood felt like a smaller community
Everybody was talking about
True Romance
I got cast as one of these mobsters
And this one was in it and that one was in it
And then they cast you
They cast me as one of the mobsters
So what happened?
In the script Dick Ritchie
The character I wanted to play was written as a black
It was written as Dick Ritchie, black
Young actor, blah blah blah
So they were looking at
Black actors
It was just written that way
And they weren't finding them
And Tony Scott
The great Tony Scott, rest in peace
Great guy
So much fun to work with
They called me and they
Mary Vernu
Who is a casting assistant
Who is now a huge casting director
I gotta fix this
Because the other casting director I can't remember her name
That's alright, I never remember it
They gave me a big break
Anyway, but I remember
From my agent that Mary Vernu was like
She thinks you're Dick Ritchie and you should play that
And it was very true, but I never considered the part
Because it wasn't even important
She was like, the way you are
And I was like that, I was looking for my big break
And I was just
Really sort of wide-eyed
I don't know how actors do it
It's the hardest thing ever, I don't know how you guys do it
It's so much easier as a stand-up
You're sitting there doing an hour-long commercial
That's your special
You just do it enough, eventually
You know how I finally got little parts
That I've been getting lately was just going through that
The shit that you guys do
I've done a couple of pilots
And the second the pilot is over
I'm going to go tell jokes
And these other guys are like, well, unemployed again
And she's like, I don't know how you do that
It's rough, I don't want to handle it
I want to talk to you about it
Because you said something when we were working together about the stand-up thing
Which is like, if you're good at it
Which you are, and you're successful at it
You're never unemployed
It's a beautiful thing
I don't have that level of strength
To do
To try and make it just as an
Well, I mean, I had a passion for stand-up
But just sit there and be like, alright
I'm going to fucking wake table
And I'm going to get a bit part
And be in this movie, this giant production
And then, you know, every fucking movie you see
There's like a hundred, whatever
About 40 actors who don't work on that
But there's like two people that continue on
Exactly
And then maybe somebody
In the other, whatever, 38
Get something, and then everybody else goes back
To fucking waiting tables
You were in a movie, which is the biggest thing ever
To everybody in your hometown and stuff
And I don't know how fucking
Hard that is
It's tough, it's tough
I'm not saying like
You know, as opposed to digging a ditch
It's not physically hard, but emotionally it's hard
Emotionally to go from that
It's emotionally, it is hard
To then fucking going back to
Waiting the tables
I don't know, and just knowing you're good enough
Just having
And it's being proved, because you got a part
But it might not pay the bills
Much longer than
You know, when you're
If you were quarterback and you came out
You threw 300 yards
And for some inexplicable reason
You sit on the bench again
For two fucking years, it's just crazy
Like that's like Brady's thing
Sitting there, sitting there
You know, being an actor
The emotional highs and lows are tough
I could never do it
It sucks, it's the worst part of it
Because that's so much of it
It does, it seems like it sucks
That's why it always makes me laugh
When actors, they'll be like
Stand-up has this weird sort of like
It's respected and they also look at you
Like you're slapping yourself and they have with a rubber chicken
Where it's like it's
It is obnoxious, just ask my neighbor
It's fucking obnoxious
But then like there is this respect for it
But like the balls it takes to get on that
I feel like
There is a lot of humiliation, but the level
I just couldn't handle the fucking stress
Like I would be doing a movie
God willing, and I would just be
Thinking the whole time as I'm doing this
I have to be so fucking unreal
In this thing or else I go back to Applebee's
Fuck that
I don't know how they do it, it's tough
That's why when people ask me
What do you need to be
What do you need to do to be in this business
And I always say you have to
It has to be something you
Have to do
It can't be something that you kind of want to do
This business
If it's not something that you have to do
If it's intrinsically in you
That you have to do it
Don't even try to do it
Because there's too much
It takes too much out of you, you have to do it
It has to be something that's within you
Like what do I have to do to be a writer
Keep going
Just because you're not on
Writing on the Sopranos
It has to be
Something that's organic
I think you just have to have that
Psycho
Once you start down the road
There's no way I'm stopping
No matter how many times
I gotta tell you what's crazy
I know a couple of comics
Throughout the years, they're these legendary guys
Who never got beyond doing open mics
Or doing the occasional spot
And they fucking bomb
98%
Like bomb
Like quit the business, bomb
And they've stuck with it
For 20, 25 fucking years
And you see all these funny people
That you run into on the road
There's people out there that write
Really funny shit
That's funny than half the comics I've heard
But try going on stage
Dude, I can never do it
Because it's a whole fear of bombing
And then you see this guy just night after night
After night
Basically living the horror that everybody doesn't want
And he just keeps fucking coming back
And I always look at those guys and it's like
Dude, if you could take that stick-to-itiveness
And actually apply it to something you're good at
You'd be great
Yeah, there would be no stopping you
But anyways, let's go back
Because I know people will probably upset that
So true romance
I mean, this cast was compiled
So anyway, so on a Saturday
They needed to cast this part
Like it was like a week or two weeks away from shooting
So on a Saturday, which is unusual for
Show business and in general
To do anything on a Saturday because it's fucking Saturday
You know, show business
They take all of December's off
The 4th of July is like a three week holiday
You know, like this business
Half of September is Jewish holiday
Any holiday in this business
So for them to do something on a Saturday
It wasn't necessary, you know, like there was some urgency
So I go in there and they're like
You know, we feel like you're this guy
Who you are and just reading that
And it was with me, Tony Scott and the casting directors
And I went through all the Dick Richie scenes
And they will, and I said to them
Because I, once that door opened
And I was like, once I started thinking about tomorrow
I was like this, I love this part
And I love this character, and I remember
I said to them, don't let me leave
Until I get it right
And I went in and I kept reading
And I knew to say that at 24
Because I wasn't any hustle
It wasn't any hustle
Like now you could say that's like
Oh, that's a smart thing to say
Because once I locked into the idea
Of me doing it, I was like, I had blinders on
When I was younger
I would go in there with blinders on
I would be like, yo, I'm going in here
I'm getting this shit, I'm doing this shit
And that's it
But it was genuine
That psycho focus
It was really, you know, it was like
I wanted it, and it was right there
So I went in there, I did a good job
And I remember, I remember
One thing is that behind me
When I went to go set up in the room
All the people that had been cast
Their head shots were sitting behind me
So it was like Christopher Walk and Samuel Jackson
Gary Oldman, all their head shots
Playing this part, I remember seeing that
And I was just like, you know
Trying not to pay attention to it
But I remember walking over to the thing
Like, I got to fucking do this
I got to get this shit
And then they called me
Two or three days later
And they said, you got the part
And it was like the character in the movie
Because it was like, you got the part, I got the part
And I just was so happy
And then I remember I went to
A rehearsal with me and Kristen Slater
And Patricia Arquette was fine
At that time
I had a huge crush on her
Me too, and she was beautiful
And really sweet, and I was tripping out
I was like, she's fine
And I just saw her in Indian Runner
And Kristen Slater was like a part of my youth
Watching him, so, and I'm just starting
To be in the show business
I had done a few things
Wasn't he kind of your age too, because he started so young
He might have been a little older
Maybe not, but I mean he was Kristen Slater
He was a huge star, so I'm like tripping out
And they're like, you know, yeah, you know
We're like having this like bonding sessions
And we're like, I don't know, we go out to eat
And I'm like, what the fuck am I doing here
You know, and we're reading scenes and it's Tony Scott
And he directed all these movies
And Tony Scott was
Just such a... Tony Scott
The way he treats actors
And the way he treated me at that time was a big thing
Because I was the lowman
On the totem pole, at least I looked at myself like that
And, you know, but I was also
Had ideas and thoughts about the character
And he was so open
And some things he would say
Great, great, do that, and some things he would say
But he gave me a voice and it was the first time
Where I felt like, the first time
I had only done four or five things, not like I've been trying to do it
To straighten you like you were pro
Like you know what you were doing
Your ideas were worth listening to
Exactly, and some of them he liked and some of them he didn't
But it really gave me confidence to go forward
Like, yeah, I have a say in these things
And he just was so positive
And so much energy
And so enthusiastic every day
And his energy would supersede everybody on the crew
And he just was
Like, you know, the guy that I actually
Was such a huge fan of
Was devastated when he passed
Was Chris Penn
He was fun
You were in that final show
Where you were covering up and everything
And you know what, the day this goes out
I'm going to send you a picture
You could treat with this, I found these cool pictures
From on the set
I'll send it to you
Like personal pictures that I took
But Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore
And these guys were like, Tom Sizemore
Was in everything at the time
And Chris Penn, these were dudes
And they were in a lot of shit
And I'm like, with them, and they're treating me like I'm one of them
And Chris Penn and Sizemore, they're like regular dudes
Chris Penn, you know, rest in peace
Also, he was just a sweet guy
There was a reservoir of dogs
Like anniversary DVD
That I watched with this buddy of mine, Jarosa
And it had all of them
Like telling stories
And Chris Penn's stories were just like
He was just that hanging out guy
He was a sweet guy
Yeah, yeah, just sweet
I always felt like the way he did
I loved him in Reservoir Dogs
At close range
And I went on this whole like
Chris Penn tear
That anything he was in
He did some obscure movie
Not obscure, but it was one with Harvey Keitel
I can't remember what it was
He was somehow his landlord or something
I just remember him running up the side of the house
I can't remember what the name of the movie was
But this is back when Blockbuster video
I'd be going there every day
And I'm around this Keitel
Reservoir Dogs was like Ground Zero for me
And every actor in there
I just went off-shoot
Just watching all of that
And I became
Not like I stopped, I was just such a huge fan of that guy
Were they like hilarious?
They were just hilarious and fun
And warm
And big personalities
You know, Victor Argo, he's another guy
Passed away, Victor Argo was one of the mobsters
He was in Taxi Driver
He was the guy in the store
When Travis shoots the guy
When he tries to rob the bodega
He's in a lot of scores, he was in mainstream
So I'm bugging out
That I'm working
And then Samuel Jackson, Sam's
Treating me like he knows me
And Val Kilmer's there
And I walk into the makeup trailer
And Val Kilmer's doing his Elvis
And he's talking in the Elvis voice
Finding the character
I remember having a conversation
It was crazy
It's crazy, I'm tripping out
I'm tripping
And then Brad Pitt comes
So what did you do?
How did you not feed into that
And go oh my god I'm not worthy to be here
How did you keep yourself settled?
This is becoming like inside the actress studio
What I would do and what I always do
Still to this day when I worked with somebody
I had to get myself together
Shut up
My ego actually entertained that
For half a second
I was on premium blend
Maybe it was a thrill for him
At the time I used to
What I would do
I would enjoy and be a fan
When it was time to be a fan
I would never invade space or talk to them about
And I never would go up to somebody
And sort of
Do what I'm doing to you right now
Kevin Corrigan who wanted to play the young gangster
And we had worked together
On my first movie Zebrahead
And we had worked together on something else
And we were both like he got cast
Now we're friends now
And I always looked at Kevin like he's a real actor
He's really good
He's been in tons of stuff
He's on twitter, we could tweet out Kevin
And we saw Christopher Walken
In his wardrobe
For the first time
By the craft service
Christopher Walken is his number one
I love Christopher Walken
But I would go like De Niro is my number one
And Kevin was like
I'm hyping him up to
Go talk to him
And I remember he went over and talked to him
And the conversation he would tell it better
Was kind of anti-climatic
Because Chris is bugged out
Chris is so much more funnier than you would think
At the time he was younger
So he really had that spooky look
And that dark black hair
So he had this suit on with this long trench coat
What was his character like?
Oh it wasn't Vincent Vega
It was De Blonde
Coralitae
I don't remember
He was the anti-Christ re-incarnated
But I remember seeing him by craft service
By the truck and I was like oh shit
I mean it was just
Such an exciting time and Gandolfini
In our boat
That was his first thing
He was even less than
Like he had done stage
So he was really nervous
He was really freaking out
So he was playing the mobster
And I remember being there watching that scene
With him and Patricia Arquette
Oh you hung out
Oh yeah we'd go to the set
Just to go
Just to watch it
The scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper
I was there watching it
It was a set
And it was a small little
Crazy
Yeah you knew
That was the only movie that I've ever done
Where I could say
And I have a pretty good track record
The only movie I've ever done where I knew it was going to be great
To all the movies that I've done
Highs, lows, good or bad
You knew it was special
When they would
Go ahead whatever
So when they would say cut
After they did a run through of the scene
Would there be any laughing and joking around
Or was it real serious
It wasn't serious like I'm taking myself seriously
But I think the tone of the scene
Because it was serious
I remember a couple of times a line would get messed up
And you know there would be a little bit of giggling
And Tony I was behind the monitor
Being super quiet
And literally saying to myself
I can't fucking believe I'm here
Tripping out
That was word for word
You knew what it was going to be
And just to hear them
You could hear them
Just to hear them and be around it
You knew you were watching something special
I remember feeling like this is something special
And then when you see the scene you know
Like I was there
I remember sitting there watching it
This is special
Each time they did it a little different
They had their choices down
They had their choices down
Walk and fluctuates a little bit
But I think the scene was so well written
This is like almost 20 years ago
But the scene was so well written
You didn't need to really
Once you made you're locked in you locked in
Because it was just the writing
So many moments in that scene
I love when Walken clasps his hands together
Like please don't make me
Whatever he says there
It's been a while since I've seen it
But that point where Hopper
Just like
You know can I have one of those Chester Fields
And he's just like you know what I'm going out
Fucking swinging
He sees that look on his face
Where he's like preparing himself
I'm going to get killed now
And it was just
It's just one of the greatest scenes
It really is
It's special
And you knew it was going to be special
When they got cast you knew it was going to be great
How long did it take them to shoot it?
They probably had a whole afternoon
Or maybe the whole day
But they might have had the whole afternoon
Because the thing about the scene
Other than the acting there's not much
Logistically going on
So it might have been a whole day
I know I was there for a few hours
Where did they shoot that?
It was on a sound stage
It wasn't Warner Brothers
It was a sound stage
I can't remember exactly where
But it was a stage
I feel like it was Culver City
It might have been Sony
I think it was Sony
It was cool man
I watched that again immediately
Because I also like
Not that I've been out in LA here for like five years
The same way I like watching old movies
About New York City
And seeing stuff that's still standing there
And that shit that changed
I'm starting to get like that for LA out here
To go to the locations?
Sometimes, yeah
It bumps me out where they shot
Reservoir Dogs out in Eagle Rock
Doesn't exist anymore
I just want to at least
I'm a geek
For old sports stadiums
And I'm a geek for like
There's probably 20
Guy movies
I don't give a fuck about
What women want
If there's a place where they shot
Goodfellas
Reservoir Dogs
The typical hacky guy list
There's no left turns
In my films
Me neither
I want to talk to you about
Hooper real quick
Unless you have something more to add
It was a great experience
It was everything that you would imagine
Everybody was great
It was special
It was a special film
To be a part of
It was a special time for me
Yeah, you were in one of those rare movies
Before I described that
Two people continue on
You were in one where it seemed like
Everybody worked out of that
In fact, one of the guys
Who played
In the scene
The walk-in scene with Hooper
The guy was over at the fridge
He speaks in Italian
Paul Ben Victor is a good friend of mine
He's in tons of stuff
He was in the wire
He's in day works all the time
He was in there
And he was in the scene
He would have been back in the day
The blockbuster video was still around
He'd be one of those guys that you gradually
Like who is this guy
How the fuck
Back in the day did you figure out
What other movies they did
Before IMDb
You just had to muscle it through
Maybe you'd buy that book
You'd buy the book
But you wouldn't be able to keep up
You'd have to have a conversation
He was in this and you'd call friends
And now you could just text
In that conversation the other day
The art of conversations and figuring things out
Is gone because you could just be like
Hold on and you look at your phone
On the new download
On the iPhone where they have
That GPS thing
Which is great now
You don't have to look down at the phone
You could just sit there mindless
Make a right now
That I don't mind
But sometimes you know
Like what was he in
Maybe now
Oh yeah and it gets rid of the debates
20 bucks says he was in that fucking movie
Then it would get resolved six weeks later
But now you can't even get to the bet now
Speaking of betting
We gotta talk sports here
This is a fucking question here
What is it?
About the nicks?
What about the thing you were saying to me about
Red Orbeck you heard that he was gay
You said that
I was like I don't know that's your guy
I heard you heard that he had a bungalow
In West Hollywood and I was like
That's a big scandal you should break that
You know what I know where this is coming from
This is coming from you being a nicks fan
And you have two little championship banners
That have to be turning yellow at this point
They've been hanging up there so fucking long
Yes that's true
But you did say something about Red Orbeck
Having a bungalow in West Hollywood
And there was a whole scandal
I understand it's the jealousy
Somebody brought that up to me
That's a badass fucking nicks fan
I was surprised
I was like how could Red Orbeck have a bungalow
In West Hollywood and there was a whole other thing
I heard that's how you got into true romance
I heard you gave him a favor
You gave him a fucking handy
That's why we met on a saturday
Got one of his cigars so to speak
Fucking New York
Yes basketball fan
Nicks fans
All these fucking nicks fans
They live die hard fucking nicks fans
All of a sudden the New Jersey
Nets move into their burrow
And then all of a sudden they just
All Brooklyn net fans
Are they all Brooklyn net fans?
Enough of them are that it's shocking to me
The fact that when they were beating
The nicks in the end
When they played in Brooklyn and you knew
That the nicks were going to beat the nicks
That all those people were standing up going Brooklyn
Yeah yeah yeah
Like taunting the New York nicks
That's like some Benedict Arnold shit
Here's the thing
Please explain me what the thing is
I don't fucking get it
Let me put it in Boston terms
Let's say a team became
The Dorchester Ducks
A basketball team
Like I don't know Boston so well
But I know that Dorchester is like
There is a place in Dorchester and there are ducks up there
You're on the right path
Let's say a team became
Like a sub team of Boston
And it was Dorchester and it was like this neighborhood
That's like very close knit
And it's in a lot of pride
And a lot of people have come through there
And it's a working class neighborhood
Brooklyn is that
And I think it's cool that there's a team
Go ahead
So I think some people flipping are
Is because of that
Because it's like yo this is Brooklyn
Like if you're from Brooklyn
And you grew up a nicks fan
For me I'm curious
Who are the Brooklyn knit fans
Well here's my question
The nicks are on a fucking tear
They beat the heat last night
They're like what 12 and 4
Something like that 13 and 4
Something crazy right
I don't count my chickens with that shit
By the way
Hypothetical
They finally pushed through this year
And they won a championship
And all those people in Brooklyn
Who've been sitting there
With the nicks
And all this
You're not going to be roof falling
Years and years and years
I guess I get it to a certain extent
If you're a kid
Like I get little kids
If you're some guy
And he's 30 years old
So whatever you started watching when you're 6
You got a quarter of a century
Of fucking just rooting
For this team
And then all of a sudden
The New Jersey Nets
The fucking
It's an interesting thing
I don't know
It's going to be a conflict of interest
Because the crazy thing is they're both doing well
And if they play each other in the playoffs
It's going to be interesting
I would be curious like
At the Brooklyn arena
Which I haven't been to
How nice that place is
I just saw it on TV
It's fucking ridiculous
The little weeds that they have up there
They're like little mini brown stones
That's what the floor is supposed to look like
Like I guess if you have a nice brown stone
That's the pattern of the wood on the floor
And then you look at the fucking Celtics
We have the parquet floor
But it's just a bunch of cinder blocks
You knock that shit box down
The Boston Garden
You get the fuck out of my house
You knock that shit box down
You knock that piss hole down
That shit hole
I know what this is coming from
I'm standing up now
This guy is about to assault me
No, no, well you guys could never win
I get it
Bernard King
Patrick Ewing
They all came through and they all lost
I just want to say
You guys knock that shit hole down
And then you have a new arena
What's it called?
The fucking fleet center
You should have done that
You know made it
But you cut corners
Make it nice
Make it nice
Do something nice to it
But you want it to make a shit box
Knock the one down and then make another shit box
That fleet center
I've never been there
You sound like a guy who's never gone to the Boston Garden
Did you think
Did me and you go on that tour
Fenway
Get on with your insult
That fucking place
The history is great
I could go to the museum for a history
It was a piss hole
If they sold mouse ears there
Like you were at Disneyland, you would have bought them
You told me you loved it
Aside from the history
Is it not a shit box
I couldn't even fit in some of those seats
There's poles blocking
It's a shit hole
It's character
Barclays wanted to revamp there
God bless them
I'm not giving them shit
I think it's great that they did that
But what I'm saying is that you went from
Oh the fans
You went from the Boston Garden
This place that was
If you consider winning 16 titles there
I didn't say what they were
I'm just saying the garden itself was a piss box
Listen, I'm not going to say I didn't need a coat of paint
I'm not going to say that the electrical
Didn't crap out on you every once in a while
I'm not saying that
It's better than the fucking Madison Square Garden
My friend, they don't call
You can't even compare
What do they call it?
What do they call it?
The most famous arena in the world
It'll never get knocked down
And we revamped it
First of all, that's the second one
They already knocked down the first one
I know that
Secondly
The fucking most famous arena in the world
You know who came up with that
The people who fucking own the thing
They're good marketing people
That's all I'm saying is
If I anoint myself a fucking nickname
You should call them to cover
Some kind of something about the fleet center
Because that is a shit box
It's almost not even in Boston
I went there and I was like
Where is this place?
It's in downtown Boston
It just seemed weird
We've won a bunch of titles
I liked it
We're working on the heat
The swan boats
I like the food
I respect the sports
I love Larry Joe Bird
It's his birthday today
Real big Boston fan
It's Larry Joe Bird's birthday
We're taping this on the 7th
It's his birthday too
I asked him why didn't you like him over
Magic Johnson
Because Larry made me feel like
I could make the league too
I feel like anyone could do it
So Larry
I'll tell you a thing about the Boston Celtics
I'll tell you something after your thing
I grew up hating the Celtics
I couldn't even appreciate how good they were
And how good Larry Bird was
Everybody
I hated them
My nickname in Brooklyn is Larry Bird
Because of the way I look
Dude, if you could grow one of those awful mustaches
It's just my coloring
I don't look like Larry Bird
Just because I play basketball
But I never had a f***ing
What if you have a shag
He had the haircut every white dude
Had in the 80s
I didn't have a mullet
But I was feathered
Of course you did
You had some sort of
With your liking of hip hop
You probably had one of those thin Puerto Rican
I wish
At the time when Larry
I was too young to have one
But I'll tell you something
I told you this
I really love the Celtics team that they have now
And what they did to Miami last year
Pushing them to game 7
That was one of my favorite Celtic teams of all time
Me too, all hard
I was rooting for them so hard
And I've had mixed feelings about Kevin Garnett
Especially now that he's a Celtic
I respect him, I love his career
He's awesome, the way he plays
Inspires me in what I do
He plays at the same level all the time
I almost beat those motherfuckers
Because I don't care who it is
The Nicks, the Nets, the Utah Jazz
The fucking New Orleans, Pelicans
Whatever they're becoming
Somebody needs to beat the heat
See me, I feel that way about the Lakers
I hate the Lakers
And I actually think Kobe Bryant
This will get me some fucking emails
I think he's one of the most overrated
You're crazy
What can you say?
He's been on nothing but pile on teams
Like everything that they give LeBron shit for doing
Going to Miami
Kobe has been living, he just hasn't had to leave
Because they bring everybody in
Dude, what he did the other night when he walked off the court
With 10 seconds left, did you see that shit?
Yeah, dude, you know what?
It was 4 seconds
4 seconds, whatever you did
You left your teammates sitting out there
All that does is breed resentment
That guy is a cancer, he's one of the greatest individual
One-on-one players ever
Since Jordan, I would say he's number 2 behind Jordan
He breeds fucking resentment
I agree
I love Kobe
He's a blood, he's an animal
And that's what he has over the rest
No, no, no, no
I have to say this before people say it
Do you think Kobe would have played with the 5 stitches?
Do you think Kobe Bryant would have played with the 5 stitches?
And I'm not disrespecting Carmelo, I love you
But do you think Kobe Bryant would have played with the 5 stitches?
Kobe Bryant could have been missing a leg
And he would play
He would have played against Miami last night
Between him and everybody else
But this is my criticism of the guy
The guy does not know how to get along with other fucking people
He's a savant
He's the Bobby Fischer of basketball
He fucking ran Shaq out of town
Like he said the other day, you're gonna score your 30th thousand
Did you ever think you'd do that?
And he says, I'm not into individual stuff
To me, it was always about champions
That's why you ran Shaq out of town
At the height of his fucking powers
You'd won 3 championships in 4 years
Shaq leaves the very next year
He wins one with the heat
But you got your 50 a game
I'm not saying that he hasn't done
Some things that he probably regrets
He would never say this, but I'm saying
I love that guy and his game
And I've learned to appreciate him
And his tenacity and his intensity
Listen, Carmelo sat out the other day
You're not saying anything that nobody hasn't said
All they do is blow Kobe
I'm not blowing him
I'm a niche fan
He deserves a fucking hand job
And you know what? I was at that
Wait, let's go back
He would have played with the stitches that Carmelo
Carmelo, I love
Carmelo is retarded
He's sick and he's becoming a great
Great team player and a winner
And all that shit
I've definitely seen that
And his talent is immense
But last night while I was
Watching that game, he might play
He might not play, you know who would have played
Last night with 5 stitches on your non-shooting
Kobe Bryant would have played
I'm not questioning
The guy's heart
I'm saying his inability
To get along with other fucking guys
Has fucked the Lakers
I feel like, dude, the amount of times
I'm trying to think, all those championship runs
In the finals, when has he just taken over
A fucking series? Has he ever done that?
Didn't he do that against you guys?
When? That series that we just
Not we, they just beat you
This was his quote
Last time he said, I don't know how we won that game
The MVP of the game 7 of that series
Who was it? Was the fucking
Officiating crew
They beat you
They fucking beat you
Yes, they did, they won, this is my thing
Dude, if somebody beats me like the fucking giants
They fucking beat us
You mean in the Super Bowl last year?
In the Super Bowl before that
You mean when they beat the Patriots twice
They beat them twice
You mean when they beat them
When you guys were 18 and 0?
I just gotta let you get through this, go ahead
And then they beat you in the Super Bowl?
Are you talking about that year or last year?
I'm talking about last year
When they beat you in the Super Bowl, was that last year?
I'm sorry, I get confused
I'm not through with time
But you're talking about when the giants beat the New England Patriots
In the last two Super Bowls
I know it's hard for you to remember because it happened twice
I give it up
I definitely give it up
But my thing about the
Celtics, this is, I'm just saying as a fan here
Celtics Lakers finals
Should be decided by the players
You put your fucking whistle away
You don't call 35 fucking files on one team
I agree
And I watch the Lakers
Make a fourth quarter comeback against the Celtics
From the fucking foul line
I remember
If you tell me one memorable fucking shot
In that fucking game, there's only one
Was meta world peace
He hit a three pointer and the only thing that made it memorable
Was he was so fucking high on whatever the fuck his
Therapist gave him
He was waving to the crowd
Like he was already at the fucking parade
That was the only memorable
Other than that, it was Rashid Wallace
Just standing there as Kobe jumps into him
Which I can see in no call
But to call a fucking offensive foul
And Kobe said at the end of the game, he goes, I don't know how we won that game
Alright, so I'm saying that this guy
He's sick
He's a motherfucker
One of those guys probably thought Peyton Manning was better than Brady
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm not saying there's not flaws
I went through my hating
My hating
Kobe phase two
Listen, this is sick
You would think that I hate the guy
I don't
But my fucking thing about that guy is
He's really
In a very openly way, a fucking cancer
He's the Bobby Fischer of the NBA
He's like
You know what he is? He's reverse Magic Johnson
Where Magic Johnson could walk into
A locker room and look at me
On his team
Inexplicably and he could somehow
Figure out where he needed to give me the ball
Which would probably be right under the fucking net
And I would somehow get
Eight points
Kobe would walk in and would fucking
Be like, get that fucking piece of shit out of here
He wouldn't tell you to get the fuck out of here
And people think that's because
He gives a fuck about himself
Dude, those championships
He doesn't go to the front fucking office
Because he wants the Lakers
In the team to win a championship
That winning championships is another
Individual stack for him
It's all about fucking him
That's my complaint about that guy
I'm not gonna argue or debate
With you about any of that shit
I think the guy is retarded though
I'm gonna say that in the best way
In an individual
One-on-one
The fact that he's never
You're never gonna see him dip
He's never gonna dip
Absolutely, but the thing about it is though
If you really give a fuck about winning championships
You don't walk out on your team
Dude, he made everybody on that team
His bitch at that point
I know
When did it become DeWyte Howard, by the way?
Everybody's saying that
DeWyte Howard
That's that LA stew and those guys on the Lakers
They were saying it last night on TBS
When I was watching you, Nick's beat the heat
DeWyte Howard
I don't like his headband
I think it's fucking with him
How old are you?
What are you doing?
Put it on straight, do something
I don't like the headband
They've brought everybody in
Short of Jesus Christ to help this guy
Get five fucking rings
And then they compare him to Kobe Bryant
Who had Luke Longley and Bill Cart
To Jordan
That's who he won with
The rings of the rings
The ring is the thing
That's not it, it's different
It's like the steroid era and not the steroid era
This is the pylon era
Oh, it is the pylon era
Miami started it
Miami started that bullshit
And if you guys in Boston
That was a pylon championship
So I can fucking admit that
That's a pylon championship
Miami's was a pylon championship
Shack, Phil Jackson and all those fucking guys
That was a pylon
They're like the Yankees of basketball
Every year they're going to be signing
These giant fucking guys
I'm not a Lakers fan
I'm not going to sit here and defend the Lakers
Like that
I want somebody to make sure they beat the heat
I love the showtime Lakers
And as much as I hated those guys
Back then when
They had a crew too
But it was like draft picks
But the whole NBA was different then
Back to that where it was just like
Year after fucking year
When the Sixers came in
You knew who was coming to town
And you had three years of fucking hate
Now it's like the guy you
Fucking hate the most the next year
All of a sudden he's on your team
Putting the fucking hat on
Ray Allen did
I'm with Kevin Garnett
I'm on that shit
I as a Boston fan don't mind what he did
Because he wasn't ours to begin with
You have to go there
To Miami
They all fucking hang out
And drink pina coladas
What if you and you and me
All got on the same team
And then we're like Larry in magic
See you're coming around to my side
It's all that AAU shit
They all grew up together
That's the problem with the NBA
They all grew up together playing basketball
Since they were 11, 12 years old
You're not going to fight them
I met Bill Lamb here on a basketball court
Moses Malone met Dr
Went against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
When they came out there magic and Larry
The first time they went out
Face to face was playing against each other
This shit they do now
They travel and they're 11, 12
Everybody's kissing and hugging
That's what's wrong with the NBA
You think the fucking Lonnie Shelton
Was hanging out with Darryl Dawkins
Hell fucking no
Lonnie Shelton is
Seattle Superstar
He was like a goon
You think that Bob Lanier and artist Gilmore
Were like yucking it up during the off season
In Cabo, fuck no
These guys were all kissing and hugging
So my thing is
Even in the NFL I'm seeing them do it
I already sound like a fucking crabby old man
With a tampon
But my thing is
If that's how it's done now
That's how it's done now
But don't fucking put these people
This category is Larry Bird
We played like a bunch of sissies last night
No fucking layups this game
That type of shit is gone
It's gone now
You'll never see the two
When Doc and Larry fought that was shocking
You will never see that happen now
LeBron and Kobe won't get into a fist fight
What Dwayne Wade did to Kobe
Last year during the All-Star game
See that's why I like Kobe Bryant
I like him too
I like him but I'm just saying
He's on that old school shit
If you ask like a fucking asshole
Like Stephen A. Smith was still blowing the guy
It's just like dude he walked off
From his fucking team call him out
I agree, I agree
But Kobe's on that old school shit
Like he's like fuck these guys
He's literally like fuck these guys
And I like that fuck these guys
I think he's like fuck these guys
When he's playing you and at the end of the year
He goes fuck this
Those guys just beat us get us their best guy
I don't know about all that
But I like that he's like fuck these guys
And I like that Garnett is like fuck these guys
And you want to go to the Miami Heat
Then fuck you Jesus Shuttlesworth
Fuck you
I like that he's like that
I see what you're saying
Kobe is a hard guy to hate even as a fucking Celtic fan
But it just pisses me off
When they compare these guys today
He's the closest comparison you can make though
No he isn't
Yes he is
Not even close
I didn't say
He's the closest and you're saying not even close
He doesn't make anybody around him better
He's all about himself
He's not about the team
Like magic wasn't like that
Larry wasn't like that
But Chamberlain was like that
Yeah well that's a whole other story
I'm just saying
I'm just saying
New Russell is the most overrated icon
In sports
Like it was like when LeBron was playing in high school
You know those clips of him playing high school
The pimple faced
You know the 17 year old
That's what Bill Russell was when he was playing in the NBA
I'm not saying he wasn't great
But he never got to compete against
Consistently good competition
If you're only playing
Jerry West
These are not centers
Of course you're going to block every shot
You're seven feet everywhere
I know we beat you guys a lot
I'm just saying
That whole 11 championships
Whatever man
I'll go with this
What would Bill Russell be now
He'd be like
You know what he'd be in the NBA today
He'd be like Sergio Baca
If he was lucky
No that's if you teleported him
But if he actually came up in this era
With his talent
With basketball knowledge
I'm going to get so much trouble for saying that
They'd all be bulked up
You can't compare different eras
But I will say this
Early on
Every sport has that team
That went on a run
Back during the 23 skadoo years
You know what I mean
And it's just like you
Skadoo
I probably could have made the league back then
Me too
The Yankees are a team
As much as I hate them
The greatest franchise ever
More so than the 27
That they talked about
Is that they went
Babe Ruth to Lou Gehrig
To Joe DiMaggio to Mickey Mantle
You're talking like 40 years
Of getting Jordan
In a row
And everybody else is scouting people
I mean we fucking sold Babe Ruth
We were morons
That's why I hated the curse of Babe
I felt that was a cop out
It was just you guys fucked up
Unbelievably
And deserved every
Not the fans
But the organization
They could have given
Don't give us what titles
The two titles you won
This makes me feel
Like any Laker fan that listen to me bitching about Colby
How happy that made them feel
Those titles don't even count to me
They just don't count
Because they're just
We were just down three games to none
To a $215 million team
You know we came back
Do you know that'll never happen again
Unless the New York Yankees do it
To have another
$215 million team
With like four first
Ballad Hall of Famers choke away four games in a row
You're never gonna see it again unless the fucking
Yankees do it because they're the only ones who can afford
That $250 million fucking team
Yes
That's all I'm gonna say yes
But you gotta take that one
The same way I gotta take your giant shit
Oh you mean when they beat their fucking
Patriots?
Speaking the curse of the babe
Somebody wanted me to ask you this
Go ahead
Let me see here
Evidently you were on one of those ghost stories
Celebrity ghost stories thing
And they bluntly asked
What the fuck is this
It was totally real
That's what they said
Hang on I gotta see this here
No but we got part two
The part two is even better
It's coming up on um
Fuck I don't know the name of the new show
But it's uh
Something something and we went back to school
Me and the friend that it's pretty good
Well tell me what happened because I missed it
I know I'm familiar with the show where it's like
Celebrities
I had a encounter with a ghost man
And I went and I told it
And it was real
There
I can't find the fucking thing
Wait a second so
Take me through this because I think
I think you're just afraid of the dark
No no no I'm not
I went to a really old high school
Billy Cunningham went to Doug Moe
And Barbara Streisand
And the rapper Special Ed
Wow that's a pretty eclectic
It was eclectic
A Rasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn
I thought you were from Manhattan
I went to high school I had gotten kicked out of every
Dude we're at an hour and seven
Tell me how effortless this has been
Oh shit are we really? Yeah yeah
I gotta hear you go let's we'll wrap it up with the ghost story
No it's not worth it trust me it's not
Because I want to give you shit about this
No I promise you it's not there's other things
No no fuck you you saw a ghost
I want to hear this
When we were in high school we got locked in a room
We were 15 years old
And we got the shit scared out of us
You know my friend
We talked about it but the parts
No no no no slow it down
Where did you're in you were in this high school
It's really old
It's a really old high school
There's ghosts in there like it's known
There's known that there's ghosts so you're in there
And you're going to your science class
Is this after hours?
It was after school it was like during
Dust ghosts never come out during the day
We had detention
It was like the urban version
Of the breakfast club
The Brooklyn version of the breakfast club
So you know it was like that
So instead of weed he had coke
He had coke crack
You know we were sniffing it
And we were drinking beers in 40s
But you know
They make things seem heightened on the
Celebrity ghost stories
So it's
You okay?
I don't want to talk about it
Oh my god
Okay
Okay alright well we just
It's too hard to talk about
It's emotional
I don't want to get so
It brings you to a bad spot
I don't want to bring up
Your true life ghost story
The reason I wanted to tell you
The reason why I'm wearing my giant
The reason why I'm wearing my giant t-shirt
And my matching giant sneakers
Is because my son has his playoff game today
You look like a make a wish kid with that matching
Shit on but go ahead
I have a playoff game today
I have to get to the field an hour and a half
Before to check the grass
To make sure everything's good
Football
Football
But you know he's 10
I'm not the coach
But I'm the inspirational leader of the team
And I have to get there
Exactly
Exactly what I am
Exactly what I am
Of the Barrington
Of the 10 year old
League
We won the Super Bowl last year
And we have our playoff game today
And you know there's other
You yelling at the other little kids
That's right bitch
I'm actually very good in that way
But I will say one game
That we played
It wasn't Tony Gonzalez's kid
But Tony Gonzalez's kid was on that team this year
We were losing
And I was like we're going to win this game
The first time we'd scored a touchdown
Not Tony's a Gonzalez's kid
But he was on their team
But this fat kid
Not Tony's kid was like
What's the big deal
You just got one touchdown
And I ignored him the first time
This is a kid in the crowd?
No on their team
Because I'm going nuts
So this is a fat kid on the other team
A fat kid on the other team
A fat nine year old at this point
What's the big deal
I don't say anything to him
And then we scored again
He said this to me
This is a little kid
This guy's getting so excited every time they score
I'm looking over and I'm like
Don't speak to me
You're not allowed to talk to me
And then when we won the game
I'm like you fat fuck
Listen get off the Twinkies
And then stock up
And you could say that back in the day too
And then you could literally duke it out
With his dad
And in the end even though it was blood and teeth in the ground
There would be no lawsuit
Anyway we won the game and after the game
You'd line up in the handshake
And Tubby saw me
Because he was like this guy's nuts
But I'm always really
You're in the stance so why are you out on the field shaking hands
I'm the inspirational leader
So I was actually because we were losing
They brought me at halftime to come over there and give a speech
Oh there you go
My version of Hoosiers every week
I love it
But anyway so I gave Fatso a nice
A good five and a pop on the ass
After the game and said good game
Did he get mad or no
No but he knew that we had a little thing
It was like
That moment in the hangover
When the little kid was like
But I was the little kid I was like fuck you
So hopefully we'll play them in the playoffs
They're the chiefs
Where are they at right now
Is it the first round of the playoffs
Today's the first round of the playoffs
And we're playing a kid
I have a speech plan out today
And it's about us being a team and being brothers
And them having just one good player
And are you going to let one good player beat
You brothers
Something like that
I don't want to blow my load right now
But it's a really good speech I haven't written down
Dude you know what we're at the end here
And you know what I completely forgot to bring up
That I love was the documentary
And there was a question that
If people didn't see it
I'm one of those people came way way late to the game
When it comes to all
Rap, hip hop
So like there's a bunch of stuff
That you know
I was obviously familiar with them
And I knew a lot of their stuff
Yo MTV rappers
But I didn't know to the level
Even if you're not a fan of that music
You'll love it
You'll love this documentary
Like me you'll start downloading all
Their music is for everybody
I call them the Rolling Stones of Hip Hop
Their music is you can't not like their music
Or the Beatles of Hip Hop
Their music is just that accessible
All ages, Tribecaw Quest
It was a pleasure doing it
The name of the film is Beat Troms and Life
The Travels of a Tribecaw Quest
And everything's good, everything's smooth over
I know there was a little bit of drama there
Everything is smooth, I mean I think
That was all because they are very
And you know, they understand
What the legacy of a Tribecaw Quest means
To the fans, I do too, that's why
I made the movie, I came at it as a fan
I love the group
I didn't know anything about them and I didn't think
It showed them in a bad way, it just made me want to
Download their stuff and respect them
That's why I made the movie, that's why I made it
It wasn't the first time
A documentary director got into
With the subjects of a documentary
It's not going to be the last time
I think people freak out right before it comes out
Oh my god, is this going to ruin me
I understand
Do you know Bert Reynolds I heard before
Boogie Nights came out
He walked out of a screening
Yeah, maybe even fired his agent
He was just like, why did you put me in this piece of shit
Now it's like everybody loves it
Trust me, if somebody was filming a documentary
Of my life and they were doing this segment
You think I'd want this segment and our celebrity
Ghost story thing to be, I'd be like, no
That can't make it into the fucking movie
So I understand, I understood
I thought about a lot, I'd be like, how would you feel
If somebody was making a doc that was beyond
Just me being the incredible
Incredible, you know, highly
Achieved actor
It became this personal thing, if they just didn't want
To go into it, me as a highly, highly, highly
Achieve actor, now I'm just playing
But when it gets personal and you start to see
Like the intimacy and you see
Yourself in moments that you forgot about
Because they're being filmed, they're on screen
It's a vulnerable position, so that's all it was
And I made the movie out of love
And I think at the end of the day, they know that
And the movie's gone on to
You know, it's really like
What else, you got anything you want to hype before we
Nah, man, the only thing I want to hype is
Is the New York Knicks, I want to hype the Giants
You know, starting to do their little mid-season
Fumble, and you know, we got a movie coming out
And I think it's April 5th
The heat, Sandra Bullock
Bill Burr is incredible
And he's funny, he's good, he's got red hair
And a red beard
Now, yo, there's going to be
Bill Burr is going to be doing his thing in this movie
It's going to be, it's a funny movie
Alright, dude, I'm really psyched that you came on this
I'm glad to do it
Definitely, we might have to have you on again
To talk shit when the Patriots finally beat your ass
In the fucking Super Bowl
We'll do a thing for the heat
That'll be after the football season
It'll be going into the playoffs
For basketball and baseball
Just be starting, we'll do it
I'm always a pessimist, I hate our defense
I hate our secondary for the Patriots
I think the best thing we have going for our secondary
Is our fucking running game
Because it keeps them off the goddamn field
I'm going to tell you this right now
I think we're going to lose to the Broncos
In the playoffs, I really do
Would that be the first round?
They're not wild card, right?
No, Broncos are going to win their division
And we're going to win ours
So maybe like second round
I think, you know, because Belichick knows
How to get into Peyton's head
But I just don't believe
In our defense
And also when we played the Broncos earlier this year
Peyton had only been with them for 60 days
Yeah, that doesn't count
Now he's gelling with them
And he's going to have another 120 days
He'll be like 200, 300 fucking days in
240 days in or something
He's something else
And I'm so glad that he came back
Because who would have wanted him to end
You know what I ended up realizing that
I never really hated Peyton Manning
What I really fucking hated was the disrespect
The fucking argument
And at the end of it, you know
There's no way he's a football fan
You can't love that guy
But I think that that defense is good enough
With Brady and Belichick
He can never count us out
That's going to be a brutal game
But what about Gronkowski?
Is he going to come back?
I love Gronkowski, by the way
I don't know, it's what he breakers for
I guarantee you he'll be there
I love him
Oh, you're not wearing that giant
Do you talk about that little loop that barely
Come on, man
Listen, you lost the game
We fucking cut your throats
And blood spilled twice
First time it happened, you came back
You got surgery, rehabilitation
And then we slid them again
You left us on lights to fall
We got to play you again
Michael, thank you so much for coming on
You're fucking awesome
I appreciate it
