I'll be a mess dog . So , a quick funny story , since we're talking about

I've never seen that . Oh no , I said go ahead . I'm about to tell you why I don't watch dog movies well , you can pretty much figure out why , I heard about it at the end .

You can teary eye right now . But yeah . I was sitting in that hotel room like a ball in my eyes hours before a football game .

Yup , I'm not watching Marley and me .

Cause I've seen Not even giving a damn about that game .

Old Yeller yeah .

Yeah , my Marley and me . My Marley and me was Benji .

Oh , yeah , never seen Benji Yep .

Dude , and so that's why I know right there like yeah , I seen Old Yeller though .

Yeah , all them dog movies .

Uh-uh Shit . Even y'all ever seen Homeward Bound .

Yes , yep , even y'all ever seen . Homeward Bound , yes Even that that has a happy ending . But that shit got sad for a second . I thought that was going to leave a shadow .

He comes struggling , he comes walking in at the end .

Oh , there he is . I would be bawling now if I saw that . All them damn movies like that have some type of adversity Like why you got to keep the dog in the cage , Like Air Bud Let . Like why you gotta keep . Dog in the cage Like Air Bud . Let Air Bud go rock out and be Bud Moss . I'm gonna go Bud Moss somebody .

It's too many of them . Air Bud movies now man ?

Yeah , I didn't know , they were Still making them . I heard I heard Somebody talking about it and they were naming A whole bunch of them . Hey , shout out to Club 520 , jeff Teague , and them , shout out to their podcast . That's how I think they were making jokes about it and they started naming , like some I saw when he played football .

Then he do basketball too . I think I saw basketball . I think I saw , maybe that's what started it all .

I think I saw maybe like three of them . So to my understanding , I think , I saw maybe .

I think I saw maybe like three of them .

I saw basketball football and soccer , I think . I think I saw basketball football .

I think there might be hockey too . Is there a hockey one ? I think so .

I know they made a bunch , but they probably started to make a few more . Well , into my adulthood , the way I'm sure that's like I don't watch . Um , that's why I like I never saw the Lion King the really yeah but then because like I haven't seen that I think the Lion King when it came out . When did the Lion King come out ?

Yeah , I see I was 22 okay , or 12 no .

I was 21 yeah , so . See , I was 22 . Okay , or 12 . No , I was 21 . Yeah , so I'm just saying like , okay , now if I was , you know , younger , but like you know how they got how to train your dragon , I think it came out today . See , I probably won't see how to train your dragon . Well , I might go see it for the graphics .

Rabbit yeah , kind of like that .

With no Jessica .

Rabbit yeah , no , jessica Rabbit . That movie was dope , though , even without her Toy Story 3 . Yep , I was watching that with my kids . That got me too that got me too , man , toy Story that got me too .

Yeah , got me At the end of Toy Story 3 ?

Yeah , when they're going down into the what you call it .

Hey , oh , you're talking about that . I'm talking about when they're all about to be burned alive . That one didn't get me .

All the kid movies are sad , but I'm talking about when Andy grew up .

Had to give him up oh hey , he gave it to man . I can tell you one that got my boy way back in watching Rocky 3 . I remember it was me Lamontrell Lamont and Terrell are brothers and my pop . He took us to go see Rocky III . Right , we sitting up there you kind of hear some whimpering , right , man ?

Rocky IV .

No listen . Listen to it . He was like man Rocky IV no listen .

I thought he would have been happy that Rocky lost .

Hey , I was dead dog . I was like wait , what the ?

I was like this nigga tough as nails .

boy Rocky III was With .

Clever Lane .

Clever Lane I think he lost to Clever Lane , so that , and then that's what I said . That's when he started , but he got his get back though .

Right .

But I'm just saying this was right after . Yeah , that's funny . Because , you know , he wore glasses , okay , and he was like wiping his eyes , man Lamar what's up ? I know You're going to probably hear this Blay man , you're going to have to put me on blast like that . I mean obviously you can go that shit . When did Rocky III come out ? 83 , 82? .

That she's trying to go .

Let's just see like listen , I have that's what I heard I have absolutely no idea all I know , know is about three or four people that talked to me . They all said they cried . So I was like man I might have to get myself ready for this one . I know because they Then somebody saw it twice and cried both times .

That same heartbreak .

Dude , I haven't watched , and y'all know I love Halle Berry . Everybody know I do . I talk about her all the time . Yeah , anyway , I haven't watched Losing Isaiah because of that . Hey , I know something about her losing Listen anybody about losing their kids or , like you know , a black woman struggling . Like I said , I don't know .

I remember the animated Lilo and Stitch got me Did it . Yeah , and that's why yeah , yeah , and it was one of the it's always the smallest most , whatever scene you wouldn't think would do it .

All them kid movies , man , like just if you sitting up here and you running and then the kid get you know like displaced , or they can't find somebody or they lose their teddy bear gone , they know the formula .

I said , oh girl , you know what gets me now , though , it's like the happy ending , sometimes Like where , like yeah , the family gets back or something . Oh yeah , I'm like man so beautiful .

Has anybody seen Busting Loose ? It's just way bad . This is like 1979 .

I've seen parts of it .

It can't listen dude , there's some old people that listen to this show . Anyway , towards the end , when you know , they kind of had a . It was a . I don't want to say nothing about the movie , so if people want to watch . But I was kind of like I mean it was funny as hell .

Oh , crooklyn was sad too oh see that man . But that one was kind of just like it , just eased into it yeah , you didn't really expect .

I ain't seen that what happened and whoo like Crooklyn and low key soul food too oh yeah , soul food , yeah , fruitvale Station man don't man , man don't get me started . That's that's on that .

Man rest in peace . I can't watch it .

Man .

Dog , god damn it . If that started a dynasty , though when ? Oh yeah .

No , it didn't them niggas don't miss hey listen , dude , when they send it there calling for his chicken stuff . And man , I can only imagine , like if that's happening to you and if you're well , I mean it's no secret , I mean people know . Oscar Grant dies so , but when they send it there calling out for his girl , or was it ?

I don't know if it was his girl , or didn't he have a kid or something .

I think it was his mom . Okay , oh , my dog . Yeah , got me . You just sitting up there like knowing you just want to be a protector and get to him or whatever , and you were like God damn , I left that theater mad as hell .

You know what Did I ?

even see , I don't know , I don't even know , I don't think I saw that I remember I saw it myself .

I'm trying to think . I went to the theater by myself to see that .

Yeah .

So , after leaving the movie , what movie left you the maddest ? After leaving the maddest Mississippi Burner , that's mine , right there , I was just about to say .

Mississippi Burner .

Oh , I left out of there .

Heated hey and I went to an all-white high school , Goodness gracious .

Roots , roots , roots , roots didn't leave me mad because it had a good ending , a happy ending . Nah , that shit , nah , that shit . Actually , you know what I'm going to take it back . I'm going to say Rosewood .

Rosewood was tough too , Nick , I hated Rosewood boy man 12 Years a Slave was tough too .

I never saw 12 Years a Slave .

I gave up on some of them , the last one . I watched was Django and it took me forever to even , just because after Roots and all that , I was like dude , I give up , I get it , I don't need to keep telling the same story . Yeah , I'm cool , so like , if something .

Not the one with Octavia Spencer in it . Is it . Is she in the Butler ? You know what it might be If it's her that's called the Help .

No , no , no , because I never saw the Help . Okay , I did see Ma , I didn't see Ma . No , no , because I never saw the Help .

Okay , wait , where did I see the Help ? I did see mine . I didn't see mine . I think it just left Netflix . Oh , it did say leaving soon I'm going to watch it . Oh well , it's probably on Hulu .

Yeah , it's on something oh yeah , with Forrest Whitaker .

Oh yeah , that is called the Butler .

Okay , yeah , yeah , that is called the Butler . Okay , yeah , so I mean it wasn't a slave movie , but it still had those .

Slave-ish yeah .

You know , last butler I watched was Benson . That was the .

TV show .

Last butler I watched was Fresh Prince . Oh yeah , another movie that got me was Radio .

I just thought about that , because I see Cooper Goodinging right here I don't think I watched radio dog .

No , I might have , why I might have scammed because it was on tv it's uh forrest whitaker , john john cusack , david oh , I can't say his name David Oyelio , oprah James Marsden and Cooper Gooding Jr .

See , I can't watch those movies because the white actors and actresses got to play like assholes .

And you know that they're good at their job . Oh , Terrence Howard was in it too .

So that kind of makes you look at them a little different .

Yeah , dude , that's how I was with Mississippi Burning . I was just sitting up here like I mean it looked like they enjoying it . You tell yourself it's a movie . But then you younger , I'm 17 . But see , you got to also have that suspension of disbelief .

to get into the story , yeah , no , that's true , it's like .

Django right , so you got- .

Right right .

Leo , yeah , leonardo , god , I can't Leonardo , leonardo DiCaprio saying nigga , you know , like Lefty .

Oh yeah , yeah , Lefty , right .

Yeah , you know , for him I mean granted , yes , it's a role , it's a good role . Jamie Foxx , ultimately , his role ultimately comes out to Victor , or whatever , but for him to want to take that role and say that word so many times , I mean . I guess you got to take yourself out of it .

Yeah , shit , that damn paycheck . And then you do realize , dude , it's worth it , and shout out to Quentin Tarantino for putting it all together . Yeah , keeping it 100 .

He's done a few movies

He's done a few movies like that . I haven't seen it . Yeah , because I don't look at . Hey , he probably signed up for it like whoo , he was skipping the work . I finally get to call these niggas niggas Without no repercussions .

Exactly .

And I'll get $20 million for it .

He's probably practicing in the mirror and everything , hell yeah .

Who that nigga on that ?

stand . Do y'all know if actors and actresses get royalties every time the shit plays on a TV screen ?

I heard it was one actor , I don't know if it was Star Wars or something . They just took a little bit of money and they took a back-end deal . Dude , they've been paid like 60 , 70 million dollars . Now they probably would have got like a lump sum of like 2 million .

the other day I was watching the basketball game , right ? Oh no , they was talking about Michael Jordan and just who you want to be an athlete or actor , and I know we've probably talked about this before . But if you had to choose fame as an athlete , or as an actor or pop star , star , singer like that , which one would you ?

Hmm .

My answer .

My answer is I'm going to give you , I'm going to give you comparison Tom Cruise , who probably is one of the world's biggest actors .

Yeah , he's out there .

Or Michael Jordan . I'm going to choose athlete because that's biggest actors . Would you say , yeah , he's out there . Or ?

Michael Jordan . I'm going to choose athlete because that's what I'm comfortable with .

So I'll just always go with him , or Michael Jackson Alive . That's what I'm saying . So look at those three as a top in their field .

I'm still saying Michael Jordan .

I'm going to go ahead and say athlete .

The reason why I say this , because we was talking about stars and Michael Jordan . I think I'm biased . I think I'm biased , but LeBron James may be one of the few now one of the last ones that's a star of stars To where stars see like I know .

Michael Jackson , you mean still ?

playing the game . No , no , no . Michael Jackson met Michael Jordan and was excited as hell , yes yes , so he , michael Jordan , is a star to stars , To another star .

But then people look at Michael Jackson as the same right . So you don't think Michael Jordan was just as excited to ?

meet Michael Jackson ? Nope , you don't think so . Nope , nope . Not knowing that , nigga , nope , I not knowing that , nigga , nope , I'm sure he was .

He was , yeah , I think I know I would be .

I think if just looking . Michael Jackson is big now , yeah , but dude , dude , listen , cause they cause in the world .

Michael Jackson is probably bigger . Nah well , was it close ? No , it's neck and neck . Michael Jordan is big at the time Bigger .

Nah Well , is it close ? No , it's neck and neck .

Michael Jordan is big At the time at the time when Michael Jordan met Michael Jackson . At that time , Michael Jackson was bigger than Michael Jordan . No , right , right , right , I agree . Now Michael Jordan has surpassed you , think .

You don't think they were neck and neck then At that time .

No , because Jordan was probably early . This was almost before the championships and stuff too . This was before the first three championships .

I mean , they did the music video together . When was that ? That was probably 93 , 94 .

Yeah , that was after , but I'm talking about when they first , first met . Okay , like when they first met .

Not first met .

Okay , like when they first met not , you know when he was there , like , was it jam or whatever ? Yeah , yeah , yeah , but I mean as athletes .

No , like I said , I know I , I get what you're saying , though , but I'm telling you , man , people see , like these athletes , because , first off , I'm not saying everybody can act , but everybody can't do what Michael Jordan , no , no , no , like I , I can't .

You get what I'm saying no , no , listen , no , no , this is what I'm saying you can go act , right ?

yeah , you can't hoop like michael jordan , right , that's what I'm saying . Okay , what which ? No , I can't act like tom cruise but what I'm saying ? We can just .

Okay , let's take an acting class , let's do this but just for argument's sake , what do you think practice , what do you think takes more practice like more hours ? Like you know , they always say you take 10,000 hours .

No , I think all of it . I think all of it . I ain't going to discredit that .

I think acting probably takes more hours , because I would agree with that .

Okay , so , michael Jordan , you got to get the script down .

Michael Jordan is a once in a lifetime talent . Right , right . Not everybody can be Michael Jordan , not , not everybody can be Michael Jordan , not everybody can be Tom Cruise . Yes , there's acting classes associated with it . Right , the more and more .

But , I understand what you're saying . Like Michael Jordan , I'm just saying like just physically .

you can just be like okay here , but you just can't physically be like Right , you can't get off the couch .

Like I can go shoot and go play basketball , but you'd be like , oh my God , Like the couch like I can go shoot and go play basketball .

But you'd be like , oh my god , right , like dude the stuff that this dude does , whereas mj he can get off the couch . Drop 60 yeah , but that takes that takes a lot of hard work , but then a lot of that he does have , god given but I will tell you this there's way more tom cruises than michael jordans mich's .

No , I agree , leonardo DiCaprio , we just said it .

Yeah , I mean , who would you think is the biggest actor of all time , of all time ? Yes , I mean , I have a problem thinking . I start thinking about just movies and highest grossing movies Clint Eastwood , denzel Washington I was going to say Denzel , denzel , and see , I'm basing that off of how many ? Flops do they have ? You know what I mean ?

No , he got some . He got a couple Ricochet ain't do good , I liked it , but no , he got some flops .

But then you think about like Tom Hanks , like did y'all see , wasn't he in Mo' Better Blues . He was in Mo' Better Blues , yeah . But then you think about people like Tom Hanks . Right , he always pick his movies .

True that , true that , because you forget these dudes when they start young . Yeah , no , you do Remember when Tom Hanks started , when he was in Booze and Buddies , yep .

So then you think about over the years , like Samuel L Jackson , right , he's been in more movies than anyone .

Oh no , they say now he's the highest grossing actor . Yeah , he's been in more movies than anyone , right ? Yeah , anything .

And he's always in these big hits , like from Marvel movies to Avengers but see he's also . I would equate him to Brett Favre . Brett Favre is one of what ? Is he the all-time touchdown passing leader , or some shit like that ?

That's Tom Brady now .

Anyway . So before he officially , officially retired , he was number one right , but then he was also number one in interceptions . So Sam Jackson has a lot of great movies , but he's got a lot of duds because he doesn't say no . He never says no , but then that is also what makes him great .

Ppp yeah , has anybody watched that yet ? Man , I watched that shit a couple weeks ago .

I need to watch it .

Uh-uh , I'm going to watch it though . Hey , oh , speaking of that , who heard about that ? The Phoenix , the ex-anchor . Her name is . I'm going to say her name too . I think her last name is Stockbridge , her and her husband .

Oh , I didn her husband oh . I didn't hear about that .

Because weren't they like setting people , like working behind the scenes and helping people and all that Shit they was helping they self Hold on we're about to play this .

Did y'all hear about the one dude that survived the plane crash ? Oh yeah , what plane crash ? One in India , india .

Oh , one person survived yeah .

One person survived .

What the hell did he do ? Got ejected out of the plane . Got ejected out of the plane , did he ? Is he going to be okay ?

Yeah , he walked away . He had a few scratches .

He must have been asleep or something . Huh , he got lucky , because you know , they say when you , he didn't have his seatbelt on . You know when they say when you're about to get in a car crash , the best thing you can do is just relax , tense up . That's hard . I just can do is just relax , oh yeah .

Yeah , tense up , yeah . So that's hard , and he was asleep , I just sit there .

Oh . I can't do that the plane was taken off . I know you just drive , oh it didn't .

It was just taken off , ok , so it's not like it was at altitude .

Oh , and all of them people died .

It was just taken off , it was just so imagine it going up and it just came down like that , because they were saying like the flaps or whatever weren't right , they didn't even raise the landing gear .

It was crazy . People died on the ground .

People died on the ground , yeah .

So , who's ?

at fault for that . That motherfucker blew up like a heat bomb .

It was the first like Boeing 787 or something like that . Oh was that the big ones .

Yeah , it was a big one , yeah , hey . Well , I'll tell you this , if I'm him .

He was sitting in seat 11A , I'm so going to have the most success .

Play those numbers now .

A 11A and I'm never getting on the plane again . So I'm going to need y'all to buy me a tour bus , because now I can damn that would traumatize you .

Yeah , hearing stuff like that man living through stuff like that . In his case I'm sure he never wants to travel .
