  that all black people should know. And I feel like this conversation in this
• 2:08
  whole this whole series, the genesis of this came from the movie we're gonna
• 2:15
  start talking about today, Boomerang, And I was very disturbed to find out
• 2:23
  that, Kenny, you never seen Boomerang before today or before to this,
• 2:29
  and am you never seen it? I never saw the whole movie. I've
• 2:31
  seen all pieces of seen the movie with. Elsie never seen it and has
• 2:36
  not seen it, which is why he's not pictured right now. He's on
• 2:38
  the chick fil A run Um go we get my chicken boy. Wow.
• 2:46
  M J was the director as he was nineteen at the time of filming.
• 2:53
  Nineteen ninety in nineteen ninety one, I think ninety ninety one or something like
• 2:58
  that. So oh it turned home he quin, did you watch it?
• 3:01
  I've seen it before, but that's a goddamn shame. And he seen that
• 3:07
  ship. Mm hmm. You should be a shandier song for what he's mad
• 3:15
  young he didn't seen as a quarter white. Yeah, I'm sorry that he
• 3:19
  wasted two hours before I did. It got Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence in
• 3:22
  it exactly, and a young Chris Rock. That's my issue with it,
• 3:28
  all right, woke get there there starting off rot. Well, I'll tell
• 3:34
  you all right, so let's do a quick overview of Boomerang, real quick.
• 3:39
  Boomerang is a film, uh there is it? Directed by Eddie Murphy,
• 3:46
  now directed by directed by Reginald Reginald Huddling. I think he was part
• 3:53
  of the writers, Eddie Murphy, because he was like he wrote the story
• 3:55
  was by Eddie Murphy s other dudes. At this point, Eddie's like on
• 4:00
  time of the world. Yeah, you know, you're right. So I'm
• 4:04
  gonna give a brief I'm gonna set the stage for the movie and then give
• 4:09
  an overview of the movie. You want to get you want to set the
• 4:13
  stage for the movie, I'm gonna do it. But I was like,
• 4:19
  let this nigga do it because I was there. Literally you were two,
• 4:27
  but you were there five six. Yeah, there you go. Y'all.
• 4:30
  Niggas weren't even born yet. No, we were not. That's that's that's
• 4:34
  the funny thing about it. But no, this is like, uh,
• 4:39
  Eddie was like, this is post Beverly Hills cop Uh what else Harlem Knights,
• 4:46
  Harlem Knights, like obviously his stand up specials, like this is when
• 4:51
  he party all the time? Oh this way yeah wait wait wait wait wait
• 4:56
  after that, wait after that. So Eddie was one of the biggest stars
• 5:01
  at the time. You say he'd be the biggest black comedian at the time.
• 5:04
  Oh hell yeah, yeah for sure. Yeah sure was this after um,
• 5:10
  what's that movie with the Golden Child? This is a trading places till
• 5:14
  his first his first movie in the nineties, coming to America, after the
• 5:20
  first movie in the his first big movie, and then well another forty eight
• 5:25
  hours, but it's the first, like but damn like for I want to
• 5:28
  I don't want to take but stick living all those bangers though Beverly Hills Cop
• 5:32
  All the Beverly Hills Cops to the Beverly Hills Cop two, the Beverly Hills
• 5:36
  Cops. Forty eight hours, Trading Places Coming to America, Coming to America
• 5:42
  forty eight hours both forty hours coming to America, gold Column Knights, Golden
• 5:46
  Child, Remember of the time, Trading places, trade ops, that trading
• 5:51
  places with Dan Ackroyd, He's just bangers, bangers, bangers, bangers bangers.
• 5:59
  He made music hits us singular hit. It wasn't supposed to be a
• 6:08
  hit, but it was a hit. But it was a hit. It
• 6:10
  was a bet, and he cashed out on that bet. He he took
• 6:13
  the over anyone. I don't know. There's ollion. He had him,
• 6:16
  he had he was top of it. He topped the charts, and then
• 6:19
  on top of that, this is not even the fact that this nigga started
• 6:23
  out. It's a stand up comedian and his stand up is going co wasing.
• 6:28
  That's true. So I think at this point Eddie's on some shit like
• 6:33
  I'm the biggest black comedian in the world, probably the biggest Black actor in
• 6:38
  the world at this point. I think that's a strong argument for that.
• 6:42
  So it's like it was like him essentially in the comedy because it was him.
• 6:46
  Yeah, I'll say Denzel was a big Westley Denzel. Those are big
• 6:53
  ones I can name. I'm taking myself back at that time. Yeah,
• 6:56
  early nineties, that's probably it was him, Westley Zelle and then oh he's
• 7:03
  the man. He's the man. And I think this is a point where
• 7:10
  he was trying to do something different from what he usually did, and that's
• 7:17
  just a straight out something different from the straight out raucous comedy, something that
• 7:23
  had a little more I want to see substance to it, but a little
• 7:28
  different, a little more mature, a little more sei, sexier sex,
• 7:31
  a little sexier. You know that moment where all right, where you kind
• 7:39
  of knew that Will Smith wasn't just a comedy guy. He could have that
• 7:42
  sex appeal as like a bad boys, right that when he's running and the
• 7:49
  shirt open on his flip fla. I know Kenny dreamed at night, so
• 7:58
  I can't think about family like that. So I think I think that was
• 8:01
  his or his attempt at a bad boys to where it's like I'm not just
• 8:09
  goofy Eddie Murphy, like I can be a suave debonair and still be funny,
• 8:16
  but like I don't have to be a joke. And the thing is,
• 8:20
  watching this movie, I'm like, yo, Eddie Murphy's not that bad,
• 8:22
  like like he's a good looking guy. You know he wasn't. He
• 8:26
  wasn't like like Eddie Murphy was a good looking guy. But he was looking
• 8:28
  at Eddie like he was like like he was an ugly nigga. Like I
• 8:31
  think he was the one of one of those types back in the day.
• 8:35
  But I think people, you know, he could look good. Nobody was
• 8:39
  going like oh Eddie like h in Zell and yeah. But I feel like
• 8:46
  this movie is like you can see him like oh he like like he actually
• 8:48
  okay, okay, I can like he can pull this, he can pull
• 8:52
  he pulled it off like so I think this was his moment of like and
• 8:58
  I think not like Chris Rock doing it like fucking like Top five is like
• 9:01
  this nigga's like getting big. It's like nigga, no, who are you?
• 9:05
  He could never I'm sorry. The one thing about Eddie Murphy is he
• 9:07
  suffered from the tiny teeth syndrome. Okay, so like the time, like
• 9:15
  as soon as he opened is my father there it is there ye, sexy
• 9:18
  Peal gone. Okay, Sexy Peal gone, okay for you, all right,
• 9:24
  your penis went down when yeah, yeah, once I saw my man
• 9:28
  got chick lit to him. Yeah, that's crazy. So yeah, I
• 9:33
  think this is at this point, you know, he's done all the comedy
• 9:35
  dominated comedy. Well, it's really it's literally like when Michael joneses like,
• 9:39
  I'm gonna I'm gonna play one of the biggest box office draws at the time.
• 9:43
  Yeah, I'm gonna play baseball, And this was Eddie Murphy trying to
• 9:48
  take pick up a bat and this is it. It came up with a
• 9:52
  boomerang. Was this one of the he note he wrote hard m Knights or
• 9:58
  he was a big Was this one of his first movies other than the Harlem
• 10:01
  Knights where he was like extra question, exactly can we talk about the movie?
• 10:05
  Just setting the stage. It's only ten minutes. I'm trying to we
• 10:09
  gotta it's a two hour long movie, all right, whatever. Yes,
• 10:16
  he did write Harlem Knights, written and directed, so you know Harlem Knights,
• 10:20
  and honestly, a lot of the people didn't know Harllom Knights didn't get
• 10:24
  that much love when it first came out. When it first came out,
• 10:28
  I didn't get a lot of love, and I think that kind of I
• 10:31
  think Eddie Murphy said he went through like a kind of a depression over it,
• 10:33
  or he was really messed up about that. And then I think,
• 10:37
  you know, this was you know, Boomerang, his just pivot to be
• 10:43
  found a bad trying to be like, yo, this is dude, like
• 10:46
  your ownership in black film and whatever, like putting people other actors on and
• 10:52
  giving other act black actors to space an opportunity and to do his thing.
• 10:58
  So yeah, so now over here, the movie Boomerang is is very simple
• 11:03
  movie, very simple, very simple movies. Not a lot to chew on
• 11:07
  and think about here. Boomerang is about a lot of Greek moments, though
• 11:11
  a lot of it's about him. It's about it is the story of a
• 11:15
  marketing exact, Marcus Marcus Graham. Marcus Graham doesn't matter, Marcus Graham.
• 11:22
  He plays a marketing exact. Basically, he's the man. He knows how
• 11:26
  to get the women. He's a suave player. He basically he knows how
• 11:30
  to poor woman. But he doesn't get commitment with him because after he has
• 11:33
  sex, it guess he has. He just loses entrance. You know,
• 11:37
  he got his friends. One's a little too brash with women, one's a
• 11:41
  little bit of a pussy, and he's like, he's kind of like that's
• 11:45
  Martin Lawrence as the brash one and David Allen Greer as is the pussy and
• 11:50
  he most certainly is one. I guess we can talk about the cast a
• 11:52
  little bit too. Oh yeah, and so like basically it follows him picking
• 12:00
  up women, he finds his he finally meets his match, and um Robin
• 12:05
  Gibbins, who was a lady that gets hired at the company over him.
• 12:09
  They have all the same She kind of like dumps him, breaks his heart.
• 12:15
  Did he falls for Holly Berry randomly because it's not always the one that
• 12:20
  you right of course is not the one that you expect or the one you
• 12:26
  think he want, is the one that you need or deserve whatever. It's
• 12:28
  about them going through relationships, cheating, whatever, whatever, and then they
• 12:31
  get up together at the end. But I guess we can talk about the
• 12:35
  cast cast was in it because it's some i'd say, big name. We
• 12:37
  don't have casts like that anymore for black movies or we don't really have black
• 12:41
  movies like that the same we do not, we don't. All right,
• 12:45
  So at this point though, all right, so let's talk about the cast.
• 12:48
  So we got Eddie Murphy, right, we got Robin Gibbons at the
• 12:52
  time, who was uh I think this was after she was with Mike Tyson.
• 12:58
  And according to this, they were saying how they were kind of nervous
• 13:03
  about her being on there because and like they kind of she was viewed as
• 13:09
  like a gold digger and like all the issues and everything went Tyson. So
• 13:13
  it was kind of but she had she had an image at the time.
• 13:18
  It was touchy. She had a negative image, a young halle Berry,
• 13:22
  like just very young, just very young. I think this might have been
• 13:24
  like because I remember she was in uh. I don't know if this is
• 13:28
  before after losing Isaiah. No, this is boy before losing ISAA. I'm
• 13:33
  thinking what last boy scout losing ISAA was a few years ago? Are you
• 13:41
  saying this is before after Catwoman? All right, at least that's closer.
• 13:48
  Shit, this was pulling up all these damn yes, yeah, this is
• 13:52
  so she was, Oh, this is after like so she was a member,
• 13:56
  she was in UH. I don't know if we'll talk about this movie
• 13:58
  Jungle Fever. Jungle Fever as a crackhead. She was a crackhead and Jungle
• 14:03
  Fever Samuel Jackson, Yeah, yeah, And then she was also there was
• 14:09
  another movie that might be on our list, strictly Business that she was in.
• 14:13
  She was the female lead. And then Last Boy Scout? Is that
• 14:18
  with a white man piped on the couch? No, that's Monsters Ball.
• 14:22
  She was the only movie she got. But when I'll put my koufi on
• 14:28
  later. But yeah, Last Boy Scout was another movie she was in.
• 14:31
  It's a really good movie, one of my favorites. But uh yeah,
• 14:35
  so it's a young halle Berry. So she wasn't the symbol that she ended
• 14:39
  up becoming. Then you got but she was like a beauty queen and who's
• 14:43
  the girl what's the name of the actress that played the first girl he got
• 14:46
  with with the dog? So she was she wasn't waiting to accept leader was
• 14:52
  all the really young niggas out there. She was Canola Oil's mom. Insecure
• 14:58
  yes, Condola ye no, uh, consolation consolation convoluted. Um. So
• 15:07
  you got her, you got Martin Lawrence, young Martin Lawrence David Alan Grier.
• 15:13
  Both of these guys are starting their come out. Then you got starting
• 15:16
  they're established ma stads, but it's like they're not really like the household.
• 15:20
  This is before Martin. Yeah, this is you know what I'm saying before,
• 15:22
  It is right before Living cup during, so they're know what I mean.
• 15:28
  Then you got Jon Grace Jones, the model, iconic model. You
• 15:33
  got Birth the Kid, Titia campbell Um, Madame Zerni, that's Birth the
• 15:43
  Kid. Okay. Then you got even younger Chris Rock with the the most
• 15:50
  young pre pooky Chris Rock, Like does the youngest Chris Rock I've ever seen
• 15:54
  in my life? Um? Uh? John, will this moon rest in
• 16:00
  peace? Um? And I think that damn Jeffrey Holder. Ye, if
• 16:08
  y'all watch the Bond movie, he was one of the Bond villain, the
• 16:11
  like the voodoo dude. If you play Golden Eye, yeah, that was
• 16:17
  like the voodoo guy that was him, and U one of the older that
• 16:21
  was him. Yeah wow, yeah that's interesting. Yeah, you get which
• 16:25
  Bob movie it is. But if you play Golden Eye, you know the
• 16:27
  voodoo with the white face paint in the hat, that was him back in
• 16:32
  then and when you look at this cash and you see all these like iconic
• 16:36
  actors, like it kind of is a nice thing because you see, like
• 16:40
  even when it kind of sweets to Eddie Murphy, how Dobe was putting people
• 16:45
  on, because it's like you don't really see that that much nowadays. Like
• 16:49
  we were talking about before, and that's what I was talking about when I
• 16:52
  texted you when I said, yes, I remember what you were talking about.
• 16:56
  So you can get into that right now if you want. Yeah,
• 17:00
  I got a problem. This is where my problem comes in with like Tyler
• 17:03
  Perry and somewhat Kevin Hart, because that's probably like the biggest black director or
• 17:11
  whoever whatever you want to call. Tyler Perry like pretty much a whole what
• 17:15
  is it like a film studio, their media empire. And then you got
• 17:19
  Kevin Hart and he has his lane and it seems like it's not putting other
• 17:26
  black comedians on that same level. I can see what, No, I
• 17:30
  can. I don't know if I have like an equivalent movie or like giving
• 17:36
  people roles as the same movies, but I feel like he kind of did
• 17:40
  that in that show. Oh no, he does it in show or I
• 17:44
  guess, and not really in shows, but in like his stand up,
• 17:47
  I know he does it a lot. For like, I feel like he
• 17:48
  kind of did it in that that show, The Real House Husband. I
• 17:52
  don't think so what Young What Young Up and Comers was a bunch of old
• 17:56
  names. Yeah, I feel like I think there was some people in there
• 18:00
  that was like, but the thing is yet, right, We've talked about
• 18:03
  this prior. It's harder to make movies now. That's also so you can't
• 18:10
  just be is it. I feel like I feel like, well, when
• 18:11
  someone owns a studio with Kevin Hart, I feel like Kevin Hart a lot
• 18:17
  of times in his movie he doesn't have that much power in it, whereas
• 18:21
  Tyler Perry would. Yeah, part of my problem because I'm thinking a lot
• 18:27
  of Kevin Hart movies like and he's with the rock and shit, like he's
• 18:30
  he's just like the star, but he's not like, y'all, I'm gonna
• 18:33
  bring this person or whatever. But I feel like in this stage of his
• 18:37
  career, Oh, I know he probably he could do that. He has
• 18:40
  the power to do that. But yeah, I see what you're saying,
• 18:44
  And like if Eddie Murphy was able to get that done in ninety one,
• 18:49
  but hold on, how you know that he's not? What was the last
• 18:53
  Tyler Perry project you watched? Do you watch any of his TV shows?
• 18:57
  His multiple TV shows? No, I don't watch no because they're not sexy.
• 19:03
  Oh they're not sexy. I didn't mean to watch this. Brothers,
• 19:07
  my sisters, all right, you gotta you don't think miss pat sexy.
• 19:14
  I mean in her own way. I'm sure in her own walk. She
• 19:18
  talked her and don't copy white girls like you kind of Oh no, your
• 19:30
  fucking dick out. Yeah, kid, we wanted to say it, but
• 19:41
  but like as I was saying, so like how they were saying, like
• 19:44
  back in the days, it's it was easier to make like a sea level
• 19:48
  movie, even though he has a lot of big names in them. Those
• 19:49
  big names weren't like big names yet Oh yeah, but like trying to do
• 19:56
  that who they were, like people would still know who they were back then
• 20:00
  because like, oh that's smartin from House Party, that's I was. I
• 20:04
  would argue that it's much easier to make movies there. There's so many avenues
• 20:08
  and platforms to put movies out on. Yeah, you can get a movie
• 20:14
  like Niggas all bload movies on to be every week. Niggas random, just
• 20:21
  niggas. Yeah, but the thing is the market for it, Like those
• 20:23
  two be movies aren't being sore. You telling me let's not say, let's
• 20:29
  not say two movies, let's just talk. So you're telling me somebody like
• 20:33
  Kevin Hart or somebody like Tyler Perry, or even somebody like a Chris Rock
• 20:37
  or anybody could like couldn't get like something uploaded on like an Amazon. That's
• 20:48
  hard. But to put your money in something that's not guaranteed, that's I
• 20:53
  don't think that was all. I don't know if that was all. I'm
• 20:56
  not gonna say. I'm not gonna say it was guaranteed. But the thing
• 20:57
  is, so it's like, Okay, at this point, Eddie Murphy was
• 21:00
  the top of this top of told them. Yeah, that's what we're saying.
• 21:04
  Yea. At this moment, I don't think anybody's running to the movies
• 21:08
  to see a Kevin Hart movie. I feel then he missed his chance.
• 21:14
  That's what that's what you're saying, or yeah, or like outside of like
• 21:18
  media, I don't think people are running to the theaters to go see a
• 21:19
  top because Tyler Tyler Perry has run up a track record putting out stinkers stinkers.
• 21:26
  But if he were to put his energy into something good and collab with
• 21:29
  other writers that are just not himself, that is very true. And I
• 21:33
  think some people got h god, damn um Kevin Hart everybody. I think
• 21:41
  people were getting Kevin Hart fatigue because he was too oh yeah, and he's
• 21:44
  been chilling. I feel like if he did something now we might be but
• 21:47
  that And that's to Mike's point about this movie with Eddie Murphy, he was
• 21:49
  doing something different exactly, and actually, I mean when you think about it
• 21:53
  and bomb threats going off, I mean Edie Eddie was kind of like,
• 22:03
  yeahbviously he's the funny, but he had different because he's a character, dude.
• 22:06
  He has different characters and stuff, so he can do different things.
• 22:10
  And then we find out later on he can do drama. Yeah, at
• 22:14
  some point, but put your listens back to the movie. Let's talk about
• 22:18
  say, let's let's talk about this. Let's sorry, So let's start with
• 22:19
  the people start start in the beginning that no, no, let's let's do
• 22:22
  a quick overview or people like the ones who haven't seen this movie, lamont
• 22:29
  you what do you think of them? Give us your quick give us your
• 22:32
  thoughts on the movie. It was. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the
• 22:36
  movie. Um going through I like, I actually had notes of like when
• 22:42
  I was watching it. But nice, nice, We love our prepared gentlemen.
• 22:48
  Oh you know, I'm I'm always prepared because like I could just go
• 22:51
  through my list. Yeah, going back through the movie. Yes, sorry,
• 22:53
  you want to just like I mean, the story wise is nothing.
• 22:57
  I think it's better that he just go through what he did. I want
• 23:00
  to say, like the like what was big? Also was the soundtrack that
• 23:06
  sound one of the biggest songs. It wasn't even played. I think,
• 23:10
  like around the beginning because even damn you are right right block, keep on
• 23:17
  keeping you losing the contact an I don't hear contacts me blowing it all right,
• 23:23
  pulse in his eye might well be in it big, but it was.
• 23:30
  I think this is like the beginning of like when the soundtracks was getting
• 23:33
  like like crazy, like so speaking from living in that that time, I
• 23:38
  just remember whatever movie we went to go watch, mainly black movies, always
• 23:45
  grabbing the soundtrack. That was like I remember I kind of we kind of
• 23:49
  still have them to this day. End of the Road was on this soundtrack.
• 23:52
  It wasn't bro Yes, yes they were playing they didn't play the song,
• 23:56
  but they played it like a piano rendition and I was like, yeah,
• 24:00
  it was just the opening sequence. So this is the beginning. This
• 24:04
  is I mean not say beginning, but like new Jack Swing was like that's
• 24:10
  the right in the middle of the right in the middle. So like,
• 24:12
  yeah, I think this is like around where like soundtracks was being the shit
• 24:17
  there you Go by Johnny Gill who and then especially that the baby Face song.
• 24:25
  Yeah, Tony Braxon Tribal Call. This is a definitely an iconic sound
• 24:30
  soundtrack. Yeah, but um one of the one of the best. That's
• 24:34
  why I'm like kind of surprised, like someone like Keenan has never seen this
• 24:37
  movie. Oh I know the songs, No I know, But that's what
• 24:41
  I'm saying, like just being an iconic sound movie soundtrack, at least black
• 24:47
  movies too. It's just it's it's hard for me, like I'll sit down
• 24:51
  and bend a TV show, but I won't watch a movie. But well,
• 24:53
  with the point and then also the point of like kind of this is
• 24:56
  the black movie list when we started. It's like, y'all ever sat with
• 25:00
  your family and watched this because that was an adult movie. And yeah,
• 25:04
  but it was adult movie. But I watched it different parents, different parents.
• 25:10
  That's but something A lot of parents, like Quan scene him, seen
• 25:14
  it and we kind of joked about it with Mike. Same family. Back
• 25:18
  in the day. His dad used to look like Eddie Murphy. Oh that's
• 25:22
  all. He said. The thing about about the cop. Yeah, like
• 25:26
  that was like before he was, before he was born in the Beverly Hills
• 25:30
  cop. Yeah, take your dad the girl's hair back. He looked like
• 25:33
  Eddie back in the back in the day. That was like the joke.
• 25:38
  That was like the joke, like he used to honestly look like Eddie Murphy.
• 25:45
  Like my family, I don't know, I want I watched all those
• 25:48
  RATEDAR movies and shit like that. I think the first movie I think I
• 25:52
  remember going seeing in like the movie theaters when my family was like New Jack
• 25:56
  City being like three next year. Parents be like, yeah, I want
• 26:00
  to kill you so bad. It's hard. I remember the movie, but
• 26:04
  I didn't take nothing out of it. But I just I was. I
• 26:07
  was even my parents were young, and I was the only child. Yeah,
• 26:11
  that's and I think at the time that was I think when that came
• 26:12
  out, I was like, uh, Weland in Germany at the time,
• 26:15
  do you remember that line? No, no, very Like I don't remember
• 26:19
  thee has the gun on on Wesley Snide. He's like he's like shot so
• 26:27
  bad, my dickets hard, like like anyway, go ahead, go through,
• 26:38
  it will go through, go to my list. As I was watching,
• 26:41
  um, let's see, so Eartha Kid was really applying pressure. This
• 26:47
  was like sexual harassment. Oh, definitely before those days. And I was
• 26:52
  like, wow, that's that's crazy to see. My my, even you
• 27:00
  thought I was a cad, like do you know why? Do you know
• 27:03
  why? I don't know she was and she used to be. She was
• 27:07
  back in the Good Lord thirty years ago at that point. Yeah. But
• 27:11
  if y'all don't know about Earth the Kid, like she was like she was
• 27:15
  at the John back in the day, like apparently there's a she talks about
• 27:18
  it. How like it was. I think it was like Steve. She
• 27:22
  had a three song with Steve McQueen and Marlin one of those. Yeah,
• 27:25
  I think that's big, the big niggas. I think that's right. And
• 27:27
  then but also they were three summing, but also they were messing with each
• 27:33
  other. Yeah, it was it was Hollywood, real Hollywood, real,
• 27:37
  Hollywood. But yeah, she scammed Marcus because yes, he only got with
• 27:41
  her because he thought he was gonna get that position with you know, the
• 27:45
  company burger. The only position they got was doggy style nigga like, can
• 27:48
  you turn the lights off? Making more sexy? And she's like, the
• 27:55
  lights can get doing this? He's she said something sexual and then the butler
• 28:02
  looking around, was lading and walked away like you said you cut but yeah,
• 28:08
  And as I was I was watching, I was like, m M,
• 28:11
  halle Berry is probably still more attracted than Robin Gives at this point to
• 28:15
  me, And at no point Robin Givens more attractive to halle Berry. Know
• 28:19
  that in that movie, in this movie, in this film, and no
• 28:23
  point. I mean honestly, I'm I'm gonna keep in jail real real.
• 28:27
  The first what's her name, what's her name? The first girl, Leela
• 28:33
  Rashaan was the best looking one to me. Yeah, okay, for he
• 28:40
  kind of he kind of downgraded. He went from the best then the Robin.
• 28:42
  Again, we go through the notes because there's a reason for that.
• 28:48
  There's a reason for what. It's an origin story for him. Jake,
• 28:52
  Oh the feet, Oh yeah, I already know that. And then um,
• 28:56
  it was just funny. That's the origin. But I guess we go
• 29:00
  through you week ago there. But Eddie got beat at his own game pretty
• 29:03
  much, was Robin. It was oh yeah, yeah, good to see
• 29:07
  when he hit when she hit the with when she hit him with the you're
• 29:10
  not getting serious on me, right. I was like, that was a
• 29:15
  shotgun blasted to a player. I was like, oh, she was not
• 29:21
  given enough. She was when he had to prove his mac daddy, I'm
• 29:23
  like, ro you lost, don't. Don't you see this? You see
• 29:26
  him like ro stop like like stop, Eddie, know what was up with
• 29:32
  him not wanting to watch basketball with it? Like because me? Because he
• 29:34
  was trying to fuck yeah, I can after watching basketball. He was trying
• 29:38
  to be like he was trying to be Roman trying to watch the next But
• 29:44
  that's the problem. He has to know he should have been more of a
• 29:47
  chameleon if he the man that I thought he was watching the movie. He
• 29:53
  first of all, let's be real, he's liking her now. Well that
• 29:57
  was the first that was the first the first meet up. He liked her
• 30:00
  before that. No, no, no, he was just trying to fuck
• 30:03
  he liked her, He didn't know. Okay, he liked her. You
• 30:07
  could say he liked her, but just like he liked the just first just
• 30:11
  when I tell you she he liked them the first time they met, and
• 30:15
  like she was like, he's ridiculous. It was like it was a challenge.
• 30:21
  Yeah, he like challenge. He liked the challenge. He's like,
• 30:22
  oh, you're gonna work me, you You're gonna make me work for the
• 30:25
  scoochie. And then it's like he went there. They did it, and
• 30:27
  it was like, now I feel like I'm being homie out. Like he
• 30:32
  passed me a beery, passed me a beer. Yes, she was working
• 30:37
  her game. Yeah, and it was worked because he was liking her.
• 30:40
  He could have watched the game with her. He lost because he wasn't in
• 30:42
  the game. It wasn't in the right mindset. He should have adapted.
• 30:45
  He could have still. They were talking about he just he caught caught up
• 30:51
  in the gulchie. He didn't like, Oh I could walk into the elevator.
• 30:55
  Oh yeah, but but but you keenan, you gotta realize like,
• 31:00
  first of all, they're trying to make her be Hallie, be like the
• 31:03
  homebody. Yeah, oh yeah, of course not definitely get the door.
• 31:07
  Yeah, at the time, Hallie, she wasn't that then. No,
• 31:11
  even even a girl next door, she's still look better on there. Yeah,
• 31:15
  I mean, but that's just your opinion, just like it's my opinion.
• 31:18
  But we got at the end. You gotta think that time. You
• 31:21
  gotta think that time period. You probably wouldn't think that then because you know
• 31:25
  her what she was after that. Nah, No, definitely, I just
• 31:29
  have a certain tasting woman. Yeah, yeah, I think and after the
• 31:33
  best I've actually never seen like I've never understood the hubbub about Robin Givens,
• 31:40
  to be honest with you, not even gonna lie, but you know,
• 31:44
  taking your own um. But yeah, Holly buried the entire time. But
• 31:48
  you got anything else. No, No, I'm still going the lingerie,
• 31:52
  under the coat, under the rain car wasn't at all. I'm elite,
• 31:56
  elite. I love that. That's that. That was a big nineties thing.
• 32:02
  You will see that in movies and sitcoms in the nineties all the time.
• 32:07
  Or girl just shows to the to the homie crib where just a trench
• 32:10
  coat and then they opened it up. It's just I want I want to
• 32:14
  be pulled up on it. That's so fun. Fire m that is fire.
• 32:20
  I mean, that's definitely tough. That's that's tough. That's tough because
• 32:25
  at that point, you already know what time we own b exactly. I'm
• 32:32
  watching the game tonight. Jordan can go for eighty. I'm putting. I'm
• 32:37
  putting on my own forty piece trip. I love that. That. Yeah,
• 32:44
  please bring that back, ladies, bring that back, baby. I
• 32:46
  know you're listening. I'm just like, um what all the women were laughing
• 32:53
  at him when he walked into work and h Robin was at the front desk.
• 33:00
  I was just thinking, like, still beat, still still beat,
• 33:04
  still beat, my boss, still beat. I don't know why he was
• 33:07
  chipping about that. I don't know what, because the roles were reversed.
• 33:12
  Now, women's like, so, how was the Dick game? You know
• 33:15
  it was like, yeah, it was good, and y'all y'all can get
• 33:19
  something too. Yeah. Now, the problem was I didn't like that.
• 33:22
  He didn't like that that. The problem I had was when he did it
• 33:24
  with one chick and the chip was like, when are we gonna fun.
• 33:28
  Don't want this? Oh strange. I was like, you don't want this
• 33:32
  pussy? Said, everybody wants this pussy. We'll get to that. That's
• 33:37
  when he was already locked in on he was I made that mistake before.
• 33:44
  Um no, no, not that, never mind, Let's just just just
• 33:47
  never mind never mind. It would be the role reversal of being like,
• 33:52
  it's cool, let's see man pass you off to the homie. So so
• 33:59
  you was the one going want this dick? You got no, no,
• 34:00
  never never mind, never mind. Let's just let's forget that. We can
• 34:05
  talk about that later. Um. Then I'm getting we're getting to the uh
• 34:10
  halle berry stage of the movie. She had a line that when they were,
• 34:15
  you know, cuddling after watching Star Trek, that's how you really knew
• 34:17
  that that they were, like they were meant to be. I'm a treky
• 34:21
  too. He's like, oh yeah. He woke her up just by like
• 34:24
  stroking her head and kissed her. And then she said friends can kiss.
• 34:29
  And I was like, oh, I'm like, oh, you dirty bit.
• 34:34
  That's an aid, old an age, old adage right there. Friends
• 34:37
  can kiss. She's like, oh you dirty hallie. What else we got.
• 34:45
  Oh, and that whole relationship. He definitely violated David Allen Greer violation
• 34:53
  like he had all right, the chopping in their throat. Yeah, just
• 34:59
  slapped in with that pool stick. Yeah, he definitely hands needed to be
• 35:02
  exchanged. Very violation over that, and honestly shame on her too. Listen
• 35:10
  she said, like they established themselves as friends as friends, but it's like
• 35:16
  it's on your boy, your boy, but it's like shouldn't you have na
• 35:22
  Like nah, no you want how Nah? I wouldn't do that, Like,
• 35:27
  yeah, I'm gonna go for his one of his best man's like come
• 35:30
  on a week, Like you can't wait a little bit. Oh, that's
• 35:35
  the problem I have with the whole movie. There's no set timeline, very
• 35:37
  like you don't know what what time is going on. I will say,
• 35:40
  halle Berry's moving in this house. She's got pretty much a little mini studio.
• 35:45
  What is that? It could be six months, it could be a
• 35:47
  year. We don't know. Only time difference we saw is the difference between
• 35:52
  when they like as when he got caught cheating there broke up to like when
• 35:55
  he came back. They said was like four months because the little kid was
• 36:00
  like, how long has it been since you've seen this? Four months?
• 36:02
  In two weeks exactly or something like that. So that's the only time period
• 36:07
  we have exactly it's four months. So otherwise it's just you can infer that
• 36:10
  this probably took Coach over a year, maybe because you got Thanksgiving, I
• 36:15
  don't know, but like you don't know, you know, because yeah,
• 36:19
  it was wearing coats the whole time. Yeah, Yeah, impossible to know
• 36:22
  because in New York and movies in New York, it's always cold all the
• 36:23
  time, all the time. No summertime unless it's summer is in New York
• 36:28
  ever, I mean, it's either it's it's no mix. It's no mix.
• 36:32
  It's either chili in the fall. It's either summertime where it's definitely hot
• 36:37
  and it's only hot, or it's brick cold and it's only cold. Yeah.
• 36:44
  And my last note was he didn't have to quit his job. Yeah,
• 36:47
  I don't know why he did. That really ode and the whole relationship
• 36:52
  with now we're just going I'm going to talk about, like my complaints of
• 36:54
  the movie. The whole relationship with Hallie was such a small part of the
• 37:00
  movie, Like time wise, like he was with her, then they broke
• 37:06
  up, then they just got back together. All happened, and like I
• 37:09
  think, yeah, it was all third act. That's what I was thinking
• 37:15
  when I was watching. I had a problem with that just in the structure
• 37:17
  of like normal storytelling. Yeah, because there was no like relationship development.
• 37:22
  It was. It was just like we're in a really very smart it was
• 37:25
  it was small because it's very small and subtle. Yeah, exactly went from
• 37:30
  her on the plane and stuff like that, Like, but that was like
• 37:32
  friendship. Like I knew playing the seats. I knew that they was going
• 37:36
  back when she was in the office talking to Robin Gibbons like, well,
• 37:38
  you know Marcus guy, the reputation. I'm like, you're interested, You're
• 37:43
  gonna fuck him as soon as she asked about when he asked him about her,
• 37:47
  like he want to be with her, right, I'm like, oh,
• 37:52
  okay, they're doing that women's shit. Um, but yeah, I
• 37:58
  do kind of see how like they didn't really uh, I guess lead up
• 38:02
  to it much. I think the problem for me was once they got once
• 38:07
  they started, they hit the ground running with who like him and Hollyberry,
• 38:15
  Like as soon as they were they were washing dishes one minute and literally six
• 38:17
  minutes later he's taking a shower in the like she got our whole art studio.
• 38:24
  That's what I'm saying. Apart, that's what got me. I'm like,
• 38:27
  yo, this is That's what I'm saying. Like they don't show an
• 38:30
  actual relationship. It's like Thanksgiving washing dishes and now you're living with me,
• 38:34
  and in this whole time, he didn't hang out with David. Uh She's
• 38:39
  moved in not once, not once, just hey, like okay, like
• 38:45
  damn, yeah, it's kind of well, that's that's you see that.
• 38:50
  That was my complaints the only complaint I had from this movie, because the
• 38:53
  movie was fine. It was what it was. It was fine. But
• 38:58
  when you hear the hass I need more funnies, bro see, that's the
• 39:05
  problem. It wasn't supposed to be that exactly. It doesn't have to be
• 39:07
  that, but but it has to be that. No, but like like
• 39:12
  like you can have organic, like funny, serious moments like so like how
• 39:16
  Mark Lawrence his his whole thing was oh everything black and him saying the black
• 39:21
  Man. That could have been execute a lot better. It could have been
• 39:24
  more funnier. I think it was probably funny for the time. This is
• 39:28
  thirty years ago. Listen, man, if that's that's that's another thing.
• 39:31
  That's a lot of it. Back then when niggas was like that was really
• 39:35
  running around the street like that, we still got niggas running around the street
• 39:37
  like that. Now they were more prominent. These niggas got the Internet down.
• 39:44
  Yeah, then they can just talk to each other that have talked to
• 39:46
  us that I was saying so like like like I just wish like there was
• 39:52
  a couple. Like the funniest moment when was when he asked Madame Zerni to
• 39:55
  make the room darker again, like even darker. That was the funniest moment
• 40:00
  in the movie. It's not supposed to be like it wasn't supposed to be
• 40:01
  ha ha ha ha. I don't need it to be ha ha, Like
• 40:05
  I don't need no, no, I don't need my stomach to hurt.
• 40:07
  But keep me like, keep me engaged more. I thought it with a
• 40:15
  funny like and I thought a lot of funny moments in the movie, like
• 40:17
  like like if they would have made like every time that the three of them,
• 40:22
  Mark Lawrence, Eddie Murph and David Allen Gray was like a joke wasn't
• 40:24
  there wasn't there was there were Joseph, there was no when they're on the
• 40:30
  rowing machines, there were jokes. When they went to the the the shopping
• 40:38
  with the white dude that was saying, like just the food, why don't
• 40:45
  you just call us jungle bunny. Yeah, I thought it was. I
• 40:50
  thought they had good moment and end up. First of all, your your
• 40:52
  cat because the things giving scene, that whole thing's giving ship was funny though,
• 41:00
  from the beginning to when they left was funny. John Witherspoon killed that
• 41:05
  ship. He did his typical bang bang bang, you know when he do
• 41:08
  like you got to coordinate, and he was like, so you was like,
• 41:14
  that's what old on with these movies. You gotta take yourself to that
• 41:16
  time. You said, did his typical This is the first that's when it
• 41:21
  was hot. That's no, no, no, no, this is where
• 41:22
  it started. This is where that was where it started, where the bang
• 41:28
  bang bang. So like, so he's sport yourself to win. Its like
• 41:31
  back to the first time you heard the first You're gonna You're gonna he ain't
• 41:37
  got no nipples like round funny it was when you first heard that hit.
• 41:42
  That's that for then what were you gonna say? That's they're no nipples.
• 41:46
  So John Witherspoon, the trivia is like his scenes were added after film didn't
• 41:52
  have rapped, and he said, Eddie Murphy demanded the scenes with Witherspoon be
• 41:58
  added to the film, and withers picked his outland, his wardrobe himself.
• 42:01
  It and all those lines were improvised. Nice. That makes you That does
• 42:07
  make a little bit funnier because when he was like, wasn't He's like,
• 42:10
  hey, did you know that's just that he brought a whole trough of child
• 42:15
  if you like that room suit, Like, look you got Courtney. He's
• 42:20
  like, Courtney, look, did you know that the inside was mushroom too?
• 42:23
  Yes, smashing in his bathroom out he said, put the jacket on
• 42:30
  the inside out. He's like, he's like, hey, bocket to the
• 42:34
  tutor. I heard this girl. The job got you pussy with you need
• 42:38
  to revert with that pussy My god, that was really key. You're come
• 42:45
  on, you're not doing that. You got stick coordiny. I just felt
• 42:51
  like we should have got that. I'm saying, but you can't. That's
• 42:55
  weird, But but that's also that character started. That's why. That's why
• 43:00
  I was saying earlier before we started recording that it didn't age well at the
• 43:06
  time. So like, there are still old funny movies that you watch them
• 43:09
  in twenty twenty three of them things have still got ruch and funny even if
• 43:13
  you've never seen them before. But I don't think that would like we said,
• 43:15
  well, of course this this was this was definitely supposed to be a
• 43:17
  rom com. Yeah, I didn't get much calm, like like I got
• 43:22
  enough for me the com then age for twenty twenty. I think the comm
• 43:27
  is supposed to be a supplement to the romantic nature of it, not to
• 43:32
  be the star. It's not. Of course, you got some romedy romantic
• 43:36
  comedies where it's more funny, the funny takes place, like like, I
• 43:40
  don't know if you ever seen that movie on Netflix always be my maybe with
• 43:45
  the two Asian people. There's Asian people. You don't watch that shit?
• 43:47
  Uh watching Asian stuff? Uh yeah, just start looking at it. Man
• 43:54
  doesn't count, um, and rush hour doesn't count either, So why not
• 44:00
  what I can't wait from rst hour four? That'd be great exactly how it
• 44:04
  is coming right? Nice? Um? So yeah, like I thought,
• 44:07
  you know, I thought it was it was enough funny for me to keep
• 44:10
  me engaged. Um. Yeah, like I was watching that movie, like
• 44:16
  driving to my game today, like had a whole basketball game. I'm like,
• 44:20
  I finished this movie because they were like, what's the movie? What's
• 44:22
  the movie? Because we told you? I told you on Saturday. Yeah,
• 44:25
  I've been saying this since what day did Jay say? Every every day
• 44:30
  since Friday days? It's been many days. Year really been all going on
• 44:36
  a year close to a year. But the reason why we haven't watched it
• 44:38
  until I haven't watched it today, it was because we're supposed to do that
• 44:42
  as a group. But my team let me down. Okay, so your
• 44:45
  team, sure, the team let you down, but we let you down
• 44:50
  Friday eight or before that. We mean we told everybody to watch it on
• 44:55
  Friday, Friday and Saturday and Saturday and Sunday and and like four times today,
• 45:00
  And when did you watch it? I watched it today. So don't
• 45:05
  complain. No, I still can. I know you can't. You had
• 45:08
  plenty of time, sure, but I ain't. I'm not gonna just stop
• 45:12
  everything I'm doing to watch what the fuck anything? But watch boomerang, I
• 45:16
  could be doing anything. It was actually Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday,
• 45:22
  Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The whole weekend had a whole five days.
• 45:27
  You can't find two hours ago a hundred and something something hours, Listen.
• 45:30
  I knew that. I knew that we was gonna start recording until Monday,
• 45:34
  So I'm like, why the funk? I gotta rush to watch it?
• 45:36
  And don't you be shaking your head? Yes and again watch that ship
• 45:38
  because movies come on in the daytime too, nigga hundred I had time to
• 45:46
  watch it. My fault, one hundred and twenty hours. Couldn't find two
• 45:50
  hours? Nope? All right, then, all right, did you do
• 45:54
  sixty times too? What did you do sixty times too? No? I
• 46:00
  saw hundred twenty on your calculator. I did twenty four times five. Okay,
• 46:02
  I'm just making I mean, I could have done it in my head.
• 46:06
  Listen, I'm just making sure you didn't do sixty times two. Why
• 46:08
  would I do that? I don't know that. I was just asking,
• 46:10
  Hey, sometime change. That's not to say you can get to one twenty,
• 46:14
  listen. I was just asking. I was just asking forty times three.
• 46:17
  Oh, come on now, Jesus Christ. Um. But yeah,
• 46:24
  twelve times ten, thanks Kennan. Yeah, it was definitely good enough,
• 46:30
  good enough for me. I enjoyed them, so twenty times one. What
• 46:34
  would you give it out of scale of one to ten um right now,
• 46:40
  probably like a seven at the time. It will probably would have been like
• 46:45
  an eight and a half. If I was like watching it in the nineties,
• 46:50
  I probably like that seven seven is still a solid scorer. Yeah,
• 46:54
  that's definitely I'm like seven seven and a half compared to like people compared them
• 47:01
  to all his other movies. That would be just like in the middle for
• 47:06
  him. But I wouldn't I, like we said, I wouldn't judge it
• 47:08
  as like a comedy. I judge it as like a rom com. And
• 47:15
  also, what's the crazy thing about this movie. I did watch this,
• 47:19
  and while I was watching, I was counting this. You know, I
• 47:22
  was surprised at how few white people were in this movie. Sure, but
• 47:30
  I'm thinking about at the time, how you could do that in the early
• 47:37
  nineties. Just shows you how much pep That's what I'm saying that just it
• 47:39
  just made me like, Wow, this nigga really had the juice juice to
• 47:45
  make a movie where no white people spoke. It's three white people spoke in
• 47:51
  that movie. The waitress, the dude at them, all the little girl
• 47:55
  work in the store, and the French people that they were presenting the things.
• 48:00
  Yeah, that's it. No white other white people spoken a thing.
• 48:04
  Eddie talked about that on our Senior Hall show. Um, there's a one
• 48:09
  of the interviews on there he talked. I think he talks about that like
• 48:13
  just having our own but he was at them. But like I say,
• 48:16
  he had the power to do that shit, But where's that now? Not?
• 48:21
  I mean Tyler, Tyer Perry, Spike still has that in a sense.
• 48:27
  I mean, I guess Spike actually always had that to be honest with
• 48:31
  but he includes them. But it's for the story, like you need some
• 48:38
  of the white people in it. But there are plenty of movies where he'd
• 48:42
  probably would be all black. I'm trying to think, but yeah, I'm
• 48:46
  just trying to think of people that make movies that would make content that would
• 48:51
  be doing that. Tyler Perry INNYA Boris God, No, he's a ray
• 48:57
  could do it at this point. Yeah, what's his name? Will Packer
• 49:05
  could be a good one. I could see her actions, the one like
• 49:07
  you didn't talk about tron Jay Moore. I mean the fact that she kind
• 49:10
  of did it with Insecure bringing in a whole Do you mean what about strong
• 49:15
  Jack? Her scene still in the whole movie? Once scene is still in
• 49:21
  the whole movie, the restaurant scene. I didn't really think I ain't gonna
• 49:25
  lie her birth in the fucking perfume that those really didn't do too much.
• 49:30
  That was stupid. She was just a little over the top, like,
• 49:32
  yeah, I feel like that would be like a better in the time.
• 49:37
  That's definitely that was a dated thing to me, like those people see like
• 49:43
  I guess it was like it didn't hit for me like that. Yeah,
• 49:47
  like he's gay. That guy is gay. Now that was kind of funny.
• 49:51
  Yeah, he was like, you're not gay, My brother is gay?
• 49:59
  Okay. Take her panties off at the table, like no, I
• 50:04
  thought she just had a cucci because she just lifted her leg up like you
• 50:09
  no, No, it was it was at the boardroom. Didn't have the
• 50:14
  essence and said this is what this is what like very crazy. I punched
• 50:19
  her in the fucking throat. You crazy, but the nasty Nelson yeah,
• 50:29
  but had had the chick sucking on the lipstick with the cherry. He's like
• 50:34
  lipstick cherry banana, he was. He's I like the ice cream, and
• 50:40
  I like, I like, I like the oranges banana, and the cherry's
• 50:45
  gotta go fair enough, he said, what's it called? After bath?
• 50:52
  After bath, after bath, after bath? Boy be our tea? Yeah,
• 51:01
  yeah, honestly she had kind of Yeah, I didn't. We could
• 51:06
  have din without her. I ain't gonna little some of her. We could
• 51:08
  dine without her. Yeah, at the time, it was probably free,
• 51:10
  yeah, because she was like that was her coming up when she was Yeah,
• 51:15
  but she was coming up. I'm like she was. She was the
• 51:19
  deal back then. Or about teacher Campbell scenes, she was cool, those
• 51:23
  are cool, those are cool. No, home girl, Well he gonna
• 51:29
  do you doggy style. That was crazy. So I don't think God realized
• 51:32
  this. But like when she first put the sign up, the back of
• 51:37
  the sign was white and she flipped it. So then when they cut and
• 51:39
  went back to her, now she flipped a sign and they got more words
• 51:43
  on the back. I'm like, oh, we could have fixed that.
• 51:47
  We definitely could have fixed that. The movie was okay, Okay. I
• 51:54
  think it's a solid six and a half block black film, especially you know,
• 52:00
  for the time. I think it paid the way for a lot of
• 52:01
  you know, the different things we got. Now, um, I need
• 52:06
  a movie like that now, I would need they try, but they like
• 52:09
  do it. I mean they didn't think like a man. Maybe yeah,
• 52:14
  but that's like too many white too many white people speaking in that that that's
• 52:17
  not my problem. White guy's main character in that movie, and think like
• 52:21
  a man, a white guy's a main character in that movie. I'm thinking
• 52:23
  of why I get married? Yeah, yeah, but did but he's been
• 52:30
  married to a black Kevin interview with Cam Newton with him when he's like,
• 52:36
  have you ever been with a black woman? Gary? And it's like,
• 52:37
  nigga, you did not do your research on Gary Owen, not at all.
• 52:40
  He legit has black kids, So what do you think like kids that
• 52:45
  a black kids? Nonetheless, that's truly well now, but he was in
• 52:50
  their lives, had a whole reality They had a whole reality show. Dumb
• 52:53
  reality show, but whole reality show. It's like, do you not do
• 52:58
  you not know anything about your guest? Nigga, Nope, I was gonna
• 53:01
  say think like a man was over a decade ago. Now need something else?
• 53:07
  I need more. They tried to do like the black versions, like
• 53:09
  black version of About Last Night, like they did with Kevin Hart and uh,
• 53:15
  I think Gabrielle Union and what's her name, Regina Hall. I guess
• 53:21
  we need more than just Kevin Hurt. Yeah that's a problem. Well,
• 53:24
  well, I guess. I mean, I think we already knocked it out
• 53:28
  our list. But there was a time in such in the two thousands where
• 53:30
  black round cons are going crazy like stupid, and a lot of them were
• 53:35
  involving Gabrielle Union. Yeah, like she was in Damn heare the one that
• 53:39
  just came out on Netflix is pretty No I'm talking I'm talking about like I'm
• 53:44
  talking about perfect fit or something who can play that game? Him delivers from
• 53:49
  Eva? It was good. What's the other breaking all the rules? Like
• 53:53
  I never watched that. I didn't. I don't think I fully watched because
• 53:57
  it was ya breaking the rules. It was that. That's not one that
• 54:00
  was like you got no vice has ever said I, but Boomerang had a
• 54:07
  big impact. Definite derics from Eva or breaking two can play to that game?
• 54:12
  Which one I would say, mm probably delrics from Eva. I know
• 54:16
  what, I don't like to complay that game? Your home girls in it?
• 54:22
  Who was my home girl? You know? Do the voice? Don't
• 54:27
  you know who I'm talking about? I swear to got it on that girl.
• 54:30
  Oh she's in it. No, that's not fair because she's she's in
• 54:34
  two can play that game. That's all I'm talking about. I say,
• 54:37
  I like that one, said Eva, Oh it is better than that.
• 54:40
  She was like, I am not a side six I'm a side sixteen.
• 54:45
  That's big. That's baby blay. See if they all blake, save the
• 54:53
  pressure, come on, love that depressure, come on. Then want to
• 55:01
  do that? And I was like, that's all you got. She wanted
• 55:05
  to do it in precious so she got your degree and you know what,
• 55:12
  that's all you got. That movie and who it's It's it's rough, rough,
• 55:19
  but I mean it's one of the roughest things you want. Bro.
• 55:22
  It's when you when I tell you that girl never gets a break. It's
• 55:27
  just Elle after Elle after Elle after and as soon as like she you see,
• 55:35
  she gets a little glimmer of hope. Aids dad ass like dead ass,
• 55:40
  dead ass, you know how? And um in pursuit of happiness where
• 55:46
  like the we would say, like the bottom, the bottom is where they're
• 55:51
  like pretending to sleep in the Uh, it wasn't pretending where they were sleeping
• 55:54
  like what they pretended. It was a dimeer game. Yeah, her,
• 55:59
  it's just that the entire movie. If you never it's just that the whole
• 56:02
  movie. It's really rough. Every now and then they cracked the door open
• 56:06
  through a smoke bombing. Yeah, and then like yeah, and then it's
• 56:08
  like it's comes spikes in it. Maybe some days it's just smoke, some
• 56:14
  days it's working, it's firecrackers. It's always rough, and so what's the
• 56:19
  next movie? But well we'll figure out what we might do a poll on
• 56:22
  that one. But we had the list or unless we want to decide what
• 56:25
  we want to watch. Yeah, we got the that got the list.
• 56:30
  You've seen life? Have I seen life? I think that was one.
• 56:32
  You didn't see life, nigga, that's it, that's it, that's it.
• 56:38
  You've seen life. Life depresses me, but it's been years. I
• 56:42
  saw it when it came out. Life is depressing when you think about it
• 56:45
  too much. Life is hilarious, brog the corn breast. Life. What
• 56:52
  nigga. I mean I think I got, but I forgot that we like,
• 56:59
  we did the list. I had the list. It's bold, not
• 57:04
  that it's bold and black. Life break there. God, it's got to
• 57:09
  be life, man. But that's what I was saying. You know,
• 57:14
  this movie impacted my life dearly oh with defeats because that scene is the reason
• 57:21
  why I have a foot fetish. But how how like because because it goes
• 57:25
  to what his philosophy was. If she don't have, she don't take care
• 57:31
  of her feet, everything else is chaos too. Wait your time out?
• 57:37
  Do we have We never saw her holly Berry feet. He didn't. He
• 57:43
  didn't do that, but he did it with Robin Givens, and he even
• 57:46
  stayed with Robin gives her feet. Did that because he just coming off the
• 57:50
  trauma of the first girl. I think I thought he did that whatever he
• 57:54
  said that they did it with all girls, but they never they just because
• 57:58
  they didn't estab jam got the relationship. Yeah, they didn't go through that
• 58:02
  because it went from he might he might have looked at the feet when they
• 58:06
  was just chilling, and went from after the Franks can kiss to hurry up
• 58:09
  and get out the shower I want to show you something kind of crazy.
• 58:14
  That's why I agree with you all the way. That one was like,
• 58:15
  what the fuck? But you do? And then she moved out just as
• 58:20
  fast. I'll come back and get myself. I was like, okay,
• 58:24
  okay, but that set your ass home last night. He did what I
• 58:30
  mean, he smashed and then looked at the feet. But also, you
• 58:34
  gotta think back in the nineties, pump sward thing. Yeah, so women
• 58:37
  will put there. They weren't open toes back in the day. So a
• 58:44
  lot I got. I got a little bit of luxury, a lot of
• 58:47
  corns, a lot of bunny I can look at them first and then decide,
• 58:52
  m all right, So life is the next one. Life is the
• 58:55
  next one? All right? Then life? You're listening to this? How
• 59:00
  long I got to watch that? I mean, this is only because for
• 59:02
  a while. We decide to do this again. We're gonna do it next
• 59:07
  month. Let's see every two weeks. Every two weeks, alight, So
• 59:12
  two weeks, okay, two weeks. Sure, we can always watch age.
• 59:16
  You know what we can do. We can watch it on the way
• 59:20
  to Montreal. So you're most like gonna be in the front seat. We
• 59:25
  can watch it on the way to Montreal collectively. All right, everybody pressed
• 59:30
  play you any kid? We could do the watch together on Plex. We
• 59:36
  could, we could, we could. Whoever's driving, everybody's gonna be silent
• 59:39
  watching the movie. Whoever's driving will be sick. They think driving has to
• 59:45
  be the one that has to like, already seen the movie. That's all
• 59:50
  right, mad averybody's gonna be quiet, headphones, ain't watching the movie,
• 59:53
  Kennan, I swear the guy you're gonna be cracking the fuck up. I
• 59:57
  probably want to talk about this. I've seen clips from some motherfucker right here.
• 1:00:01
  Yeah, got some hardy, hard harsh. Yeah, yeah, I've
• 1:00:07
  seen clips. That's just seen clips from it. For the life of me,
• 1:00:09
  I don't know what my baby's I don't know what after that movie.
• 1:00:15
  I don't know why they didn't make more movies together. I don't know.
• 1:00:19
  They must hate each other or something. The money probably wasn't there, or
• 1:00:22
  just different schedules. Yeah, or just after the movie like that, I
• 1:00:28
  would be like, Yo, let's do it, let's do something. Yeah,
• 1:00:32
  you would like no, I mean that's a class like we got a
• 1:00:37
  Chris Rock Bernie Mac movie and they might have already had, you know,
• 1:00:42
  something to work that was funny. But it's just a bunch of facts,
• 1:00:49
  like shit is different that you still think that was what nineteen nine like things
• 1:00:57
  got this thing things work differently than it is now. And it's also probably
• 1:01:00
  because the budget was eighty million and they only made seventy three point four.
• 1:01:04
  Yeah. No, And he's talking about Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy doing another
• 1:01:07
  movie together, them doing stuff. But that's probably why. That's not why.
• 1:01:10
  It's because things that I mean, it took longer to make movies.
• 1:01:14
  It took longer did movies to come technically it's a failure. And yeah,
• 1:01:17
  it's they're two expensive actors, but Martin Lawrence did other stuff with other expensive
• 1:01:23
  actors. I think what Mike's talked, well, Mike's talking about it couldn't
• 1:01:27
  have worked because you got to think about the times then, I think,
• 1:01:30
  no, movies took longer to make exactly they were actually still using film.
• 1:01:35
  It wasn't digital yet, you know, even to the point where like these
• 1:01:38
  nineties movies, they were in theaters, but back in the day you had
• 1:01:43
  to wait for Blockbuster for it to come out on Blockbusters. Then I had
• 1:01:46
  to wait a little bit longer for it to come out on like HBO,
• 1:01:50
  and then at the time and it wasn't like like what movie just came out
• 1:01:53
  and now it's already on streaming or I forget what it but like something else
• 1:02:00
  that I don't stream everything, so but a lot comes streaming, like right,
• 1:02:02
  it will be in theaters for like oh three yeah, a month,
• 1:02:06
  and then it'll be on streaming right out there. But I think what Lamont
• 1:02:08
  saying is if that money actually that movie actually made money and then lose money
• 1:02:15
  facts, there would be more incentive because there was for them to make a
• 1:02:19
  movie together. And then that's like you know what it's like. It's like
• 1:02:23
  it's literally like the Brooklyn Nexts, like you signed all these niggas, that's
• 1:02:28
  all these expensive ass niggas, but you didn't make it to the Eastern Conference
• 1:02:32
  Vinyls. You lost in the first round. We lost in the first you
• 1:02:36
  got swept. So it's like, well, if we're not gonna make it
• 1:02:38
  that for anyway, well I won't pay all these niggas. This is like
• 1:02:45
  they're paying, is That's what I'm saying, Like you're paying all these expensive
• 1:02:47
  niggas and you're expecting we put them two dudes together, You're expecting to make
• 1:02:53
  money, but not only make money, but make a lot of money,
• 1:02:58
  not lose money. That's I think, Like I said, at the time,
• 1:03:01
  there was they had other like you gotta think at that time bootlegs actors
• 1:03:07
  are are they already have deals in place? Bootlegs is the reason why that
• 1:03:12
  they have deals in place for other movies already that like he might have already
• 1:03:16
  been signed, Like he might have already been signed to get to film Big
• 1:03:21
  Mama's else three, Big Mama's House, and then Big Mama's House goes big,
• 1:03:23
  and then Like and then also Martin Lawrence and then after Big Mama's House.
• 1:03:28
  I won't, for fun tell that I was when he had his I
• 1:03:30
  won't disagree with that, but I would I would also like to conject conject.
• 1:03:35
  I don't know if that's a word. I would like to say that
• 1:03:37
  if that movie, what was the what was the budget eighty meal, if
• 1:03:43
  that movie made two hundred million instead of seventy three, I think we're I
• 1:03:47
  don't think we see Big Mama's boots legs bootlegs like, but that's also right,
• 1:03:53
  why a lot of Black films did. Because sure, something like that
• 1:03:58
  that's going crazy in the hood off bootlegs, it's considered probably got classic like
• 1:04:03
  classics like Black when it came after the theater. Like, so you guys,
• 1:04:11

• 1:07:01

• 1:07:06
  Hey, happy to Maria, Thanks for having me, of course, of
• 1:07:09
  course, of course, and first of all, just tell us a little
• 1:07:13
  bit about yourself and the brand and everything. Yeah. So the brand's called
• 1:07:17
  Live Breathe Football. It's a soccer inspired apparel company. I started about eleven
• 1:07:23
  years ago. Now, I started back when I was a you know,
• 1:07:25
  college kid at Temple in Philly. Just made some T shirts on my twenty
• 1:07:29
  first birthday and then just like sold them online and they sold that, and
• 1:07:32
  I was like, oh, this is cool, and I just kind of
• 1:07:34
  kept doing it, and then after I graduated, just focused on a brand
• 1:07:39
  full time. And then you know, eleven years later, we're here.
• 1:07:42
  You know. So we focused primarily on like lifestyle kind of mixed the next
• 1:07:45
  street where fashion with like sort of soccer inspired graphics and things like that.
• 1:07:53
  So you got your start at Temple, Yes, did you play soccer a
• 1:07:57
  Temple. I didn't play at Temple. Okay, okay, it was just
• 1:08:01
  like a love for soccer beforehand. You just threw it out there, say
• 1:08:05
  I'll make some shirts, and then it all all somehow came together. Yeah.
• 1:08:11
  I mean I was born in Nigeria, so obviously I grew up playing
• 1:08:14
  soccer there. You played a little bit of high school, played a club
• 1:08:17
  ball at temple, but I not for a temple. Is that when?
• 1:08:20
  Is that when you gave up? That's when you realize like, is that
• 1:08:26
  is that when you realize like, oh yeah, I'm not gonna be I'm
• 1:08:30
  not gonna be the next you know, not gonna be him? Yeah?
• 1:08:34
  Oh yeah. The dream died away before that. Yeah, the dream was
• 1:08:40
  there in like high school when I realized like, I'm really fast, but
• 1:08:43
  like I wasn't like, you know that technically gifted. So up, I
• 1:08:48
  was a much better artist and designer than I was a soccer player. Yeah,
• 1:08:51
  he wasn't getting chipped off the europe fast. I mean that's true.
• 1:08:56
  If if you had the talent, he'd probably already be there. But at
• 1:08:59
  that age, all right, so you was in Temple. How many times
• 1:09:01
  have your shipments been robbed? You know? Temples the ghetto? Man,
• 1:09:10
  I don't know if it's been there recently. It is north, but it's
• 1:09:13
  not recently. It's that way for watch, it's firmly in the hood.
• 1:09:16
  I mean it was worse for back when I was there. But thankfully no
• 1:09:19
  I didn't, I didn't get robbed. Well that temple. Um, that's
• 1:09:24
  good, that's good. Yeah, yeah, all right, so before you
• 1:09:28
  even get started, I want to we got to establish this first. Um
• 1:09:30
  what what what clubs do you support? Personal? Oh that's that's very Nigerian
• 1:09:39
  of you. Yeah, come on, I thought it was gonna be Chelsea
• 1:09:45
  from the uh you know, your recent collab. But that's surprising. No,
• 1:09:49
  I mean, listen, we go, we go wherever the bag is
• 1:09:53
  that the listen, like a bag is a bag? Man the Chelsea Chelsea,
• 1:10:02
  you can be Chelsea. Yeah, you can speak yourself. First,
• 1:10:06
  of I don't watch football. I'm talking about as like him, hearing him,
• 1:10:10
  you know, man, I don't think trade lately. I'm hearing for
• 1:10:14
  the check only. Don't make me put up. I'm not putting on no
• 1:10:16
  blue bro all right, at least not that all right? So Arsenal,
• 1:10:20
  Okay, that makes sense. We got we're you're in the present. We
• 1:10:25
  have everybody here, you know, state chair allegiance, so we can fight
• 1:10:29
  about it for the next twenty minutes. Man Man City or very many Manchester
• 1:10:34
  United of course, and the greatest club in the world Liverpool Football Club.
• 1:10:41
  Um, yeah, what is hold on? Hold on? Hold on?
• 1:10:45
  What is oof? Let see? Arsenal gets a little, a little taste
• 1:10:54
  of success start acting different. They do. I think he can say that
• 1:10:58
  about you and your team. I can only count what I started watching when
• 1:11:00
  we started watching this twenty seventeen. As far as I know, we've been
• 1:11:06
  on top forever, right, see see that all I know? Please come
• 1:11:17
  back. So you had no idea about when Daniel Sturge was there? You
• 1:11:25
  know what? You know what? You know what? Actually I do because
• 1:11:29
  funny story, when I was in senior high school back in twenty eleven,
• 1:11:34
  we went to That's crazy, shut up. We went to uh we went
• 1:11:41
  to Disney Disneyland, disney World for our senior trip and they, you know
• 1:11:45
  how an Epcot they have like the English part, and I guess in the
• 1:11:48
  story they were playing. They were playing Premier League football in the TVs and
• 1:11:54
  I just remember seeing Liverpool play somebody and Daniel Sturge was playing really well,
• 1:11:58
  and I was like, I like those guys, and that's when I decided
• 1:12:01
  I like Liverpool. Yeah, okay, well okay, it is what it
• 1:12:06
  is. But yeah, I don't really the history I've been trying to get
• 1:12:11
  a breast of. But this is a lot going on. It's too many,
• 1:12:16
  too many things. Yeah, so boone, I actually had a question
• 1:12:23
  for you. How did the Austin rivers Austin rivers Austin Reeves like collab or
• 1:12:29
  like appreciation from him? Where did that come from? Again? I mean
• 1:12:34
  it was just like another organic thing, which is how most things that happened
• 1:12:39
  with the brand come about. So I was just at dinner one day here
• 1:12:43
  in Philly with my guy in a movie or Cugo, who used split Philadelphia
• 1:12:45
  Union. He's retired now. Um, you know, he's just having dinner,
• 1:12:49
  chopping it up, and this guy comes by his friend Reggie, and
• 1:12:53
  you know, Reggie starts we started kind of chopping it up or whatever.
• 1:12:55
  He's oh, like I'm a basketball agent. I'm like cool, he's got
• 1:12:57
  Macia, have his brand whatever. Whatever. Oh he was a super good
• 1:13:00
  dude whatever. It turns out he was Austin Reeves agent. Um. And
• 1:13:03
  I think this is right before Austin went to the Lakers. Kay, oh,
• 1:13:08
  he had just started playing for the Lakers. He was like yo,
• 1:13:10
  like you know, obviously we were looking to hook him up with stuff.
• 1:13:12
  So I just sent him a bunch of girl I was like, yeah,
• 1:13:15
  for sure, like you know, you know, he showed love and then
• 1:13:17
  Austin just started wearing it. And then I think, um, the Lake
• 1:13:21
  Lakers played in Philly early. I think it was January last year, and
• 1:13:29
  yeah, they didn't lose that game because of course Lebron was hurt. Um,
• 1:13:31
  I think it was hurt after like the Brooklyn Nets game or something like
• 1:13:34
  that. So you like, Reggie hits like yo, like we're in Philly,
• 1:13:36
  like me and Austin like want to just come by the office and I
• 1:13:40
  was like, yeah, pull up. So they just came through, chopped
• 1:13:43
  it up, like We've had a really good conversation. He's a super good
• 1:13:45
  guy. And then from he always just wears the stuff like it's super organic.
• 1:13:47
  It's not like we're paying him or anything like that. Star like but
• 1:13:49
  like bro like he was a shout out. It's just like he likes his
• 1:13:53
  stuff and he just wears it. O. That's dope. That's really dope,
• 1:13:58
  good stuff. So yeah, well let's make this genetically modified. We
• 1:14:02
  need to get him on the podcast or if you can hook us up with
• 1:14:04
  his agent. So shameless you couldn't. I'm very shameless. If we can
• 1:14:11
  get Austin Reeves on here, that would be great. You might can bust
• 1:14:15
  I might more than just come bust. It'll just bust. He'll come bust.
• 1:14:20
  Yeah, he'll he'll do all that. No fire involve. So for
• 1:14:29
  that, I say next time. You know, they aren't Philly in the
• 1:14:30
  area, and I'm saying, you want to hit us up after hitting the
• 1:14:32
  money? Yes, please stop. I can't make any promises. Please don't
• 1:14:40
  don't do any don't nothing, don't do anything for him, y'all don't want
• 1:14:44
  us to be great. You don't even watch football? Were you just good
• 1:14:46
  thing? We were talking about a basketball player though. How did the Chelsea
• 1:14:57
  deal come about? Jesus right? Uh, that was just kind of another
• 1:15:01
  organic situation too. Um. We're kind of having conversations with Dick Sporting gets
• 1:15:06
  for a while. Um, and then the buyer's super cool guy. You
• 1:15:11
  know, we kind of have a lot. Were kind to share the same
• 1:15:14
  vision for what like soccer in America could be and like the direction that's going.
• 1:15:17
  And then one day he hit me up like, hey, like,
• 1:15:19
  you know, I'm going to London to meet with a different Premier League club,
• 1:15:23
  would you mind if I pitched LBF? I was like sure, why
• 1:15:25
  not? So he went to he went to England and then Chelsea was the
• 1:15:29
  first one to bite, and they were like, hey, we're in this
• 1:15:30
  USA tour, Um, send us some ideas for like, you know what
• 1:15:33
  what you guys are thinking. And we sent them a few designs and they
• 1:15:36
  love the first design we sent them, so and that was that so nice?
• 1:15:42
  Yeah, that's amazing. Now is there an opportunity for like other clubs
• 1:15:45
  to get in on it or is it just exclusively with Chelsea? No,
• 1:15:49
  no, no, we don't have any exclusive rights with Chelsea, um,
• 1:15:53
  he said. I said, everything we do super organic, Yeah, exactly.
• 1:15:57
  Um. Obviously I want to grow at the LBF brand, and I
• 1:15:59
  think you know, anywhere we can leverage other clubs, you know, fan
• 1:16:02
  bases, um, like the USA tour, anything that's sort of relevant to
• 1:16:06
  what we're doing, we can tell a unique story. I'm always open to
• 1:16:11
  working with clubs because plus, like you know again, like our brand is
• 1:16:14
  like about football first and foremost, um, and in our game, the
• 1:16:17
  clubs and the players are the big protagonists, right, It's all about support
• 1:16:23
  and all that. So if we can help Chelsea spread a particular message while
• 1:16:28
  sort of you know, growing our brand at the same time, like,
• 1:16:30
  I'm all for it. Okay, Okay, and you said something about your
• 1:16:34
  vision for soccer in America. What what is that? What's what's that vision?
• 1:16:40
  Yeah? You know, I think for me obviously, I was born
• 1:16:43
  in Nigeria. I'm black, black, you know what I mean. And
• 1:16:45
  I think the game needs to be more diverse first and foremost, um.
• 1:16:47
  But more than that, I think from like a product standpoint, it's too
• 1:16:51
  things. One is like a mission, um, and that mission is sort
• 1:16:55
  of like for people to express themselves, um, you know, and their
• 1:17:00
  love for the game, which is where like the brand mission comes in.
• 1:17:02
  And the second thing is in product. Right. I think fanware is overall
• 1:17:08
  generally very terrible, um, And I kind of I don't want to change
• 1:17:12
  that, right. So it's like saying, Okay, how do we kind
• 1:17:15
  of tell a story about the game that we love through fashion, through street
• 1:17:19
  where um, in a very unique and also very interesting way. So that's
• 1:17:24
  really like my vision because obviously, know you go to stadiums and you see
• 1:17:26
  everyone's got a great tissue with the T shirt with like their favorite club on
• 1:17:30
  it, like a little like a crest. It's like that's if you're not
• 1:17:31
  wearing a club, kid, you're wearing right. So I feel like every
• 1:17:40
  season we get these really incredible kids most of the time, and then the
• 1:17:43
  rest of the range is not doesn't match up. But I think our brand
• 1:17:46
  can kind of feel that gap and say, look, we have interesting stories
• 1:17:50
  to tell, interesting apparel that I think, you know, fans from different
• 1:17:56
  clubs will will like because you know, because our our approach is not like
• 1:18:00
  a one size fits all thing. It's okay, Philadelphians differ from Chelsea,
• 1:18:03
  It's different from National, the United It's differ from Arsenal, and like each
• 1:18:06
  thing we would create for each of those clubs would be very different and unique,
• 1:18:10
  because again, I think that's what the game is about. Yeah.
• 1:18:13
  Yeah, A lot of the companies, even like Nike, Adidas, whatever
• 1:18:16
  it is, they have like a copy paste kind of strategy with a lot
• 1:18:19
  of the gear. So yeah, so I think ultimately their approach is like,
• 1:18:26
  sorry, like Nike's approach, for example, is with kids, It's
• 1:18:30
  like Nike has a template, then the clubs fit the clubs. International teams
• 1:18:32
  fit in that template. We can see that with the Women's World Cup,
• 1:18:35
  the Chelsea kid the templates the same, miss the colors are different, which
• 1:18:39
  is kind of a Nike first approach. Right, and I think from like
• 1:18:42
  a production stand like a manufacturing standpoint, it makes sense. It's more efficient.
• 1:18:46
  Um, but for kind of the space that I want to play,
• 1:18:48
  and it's like, look, every club's different, so we'll give every single
• 1:18:51
  club a different collection. Yeah, because Nike here talked to Nike because they
• 1:19:00
  have been dropping the ball with Liverpool because I am not impressed so far.
• 1:19:05
  Really, no, I'm not impressed. I'm not I don't know. I'm
• 1:19:09
  just not feeling them, the new balance ones, even though it's a new
• 1:19:13
  balance, I mean even I don't know, maybe they tightened up next year.
• 1:19:17
  It's just I haven't been feeling them. But real quick, do you
• 1:19:21
  have a favorite kit, all time, all time kit. Yeah, it's
• 1:19:27
  gonna be the I mean I have a bunch of them, different reasons.
• 1:19:31
  Um. One of them is the nine ninety eight Brazil m the whole Yeah,
• 1:19:39
  the yellow one that was sex super iconic to me. Obviously, France
• 1:19:43
  Natia as well. Um, and then the Nigeria ninety I think it was
• 1:19:48
  ninety eight. Ninety eight France is a classic. Yeah, the Nigeria ninety
• 1:19:54
  eight one with the green one with the black stripes on the side. Um.
• 1:19:59
  Okay, and then obviously the Arsenal hybrid kid like that room with the
• 1:20:03
  big oat to in the front class that one, that one, that one
• 1:20:09
  goes crazy for me, that's the yeah, yeah, yeah. Back in
• 1:20:16
  my non soccer appreciation days, for the longest time, I thought those were
• 1:20:20
  the team names on the front and not just companies that were brands who was
• 1:20:27
  like like just different stuff. When they would be like okay, uh uh
• 1:20:30
  pro sports and betting, okay, all right, team name, what a
• 1:20:36
  what a squad? There's a lot of flight teams out there airports dominating the
• 1:20:43
  soccer world. Well, I think that's interesting that you mentioned that because for
• 1:20:49
  me, I think um sponsors for a lot of the kids that like growing
• 1:20:54
  up, we're pretty iconic. Like remember the Intern kids when they had Perelli
• 1:20:58
  on them, like that blue and black with the yellow Pirelli logo was like
• 1:21:01
  super iconic commission. When they switched from Pirelli, I was like damn,
• 1:21:04
  Like it kind of became part of the kids, and it's like the story
• 1:21:09
  of the club because you know, Enter obviously an Italian club, Pirelli's an
• 1:21:12
  Italian company. But now with the game being still global, you're having like
• 1:21:15
  a bunch of like random sponsors from different countries, just like you know,
• 1:21:19
  sponsoring different teams, and like, I think it loses like the connection that
• 1:21:24
  it has that particular place, like exactly Arstons in London, but like Emirates
• 1:21:28
  is a you know, Emirates Airlines, you know what I mean. So
• 1:21:31
  um, but I think, um, I like what Chelsea did um and
• 1:21:36
  their preseason tour. The kids don't have any sponsor on them really though for
• 1:21:43
  the longest time, because I was at the game at the Link on Saturday
• 1:21:46
  where they played Brighton and the kids are just like blue with the Chelsea crest
• 1:21:49
  and like the Nike logo, and I was like, Yo, that's actually
• 1:21:53
  the first I want to see more kids without sponsors. Um. They look
• 1:21:57
  a bit plane, but I think it was just something awesome now that that
• 1:22:01
  would be fires a lot of money, Yeah, yeah, of course.
• 1:22:09
  But I mean it's like national team kits, right, yeah, exactly.
• 1:22:12
  They don't have sponsors on them, just the creston maybe. And I think
• 1:22:15
  like the design becomes more important than like because we have that logo in the
• 1:22:20
  front kind of takes a little bit away from the design, right, but
• 1:22:23
  I think it makes the design more interesting. It's like there's no sponsor from
• 1:22:26
  the front. Like right now I'm wearing the United Pink jersey with the big
• 1:22:31
  ass Chevrolet logo logo, and that logo so horrendous. It takes away from
• 1:22:38
  like the whole Yeah it's key or the kid. Yeah, that's that's actually
• 1:22:42
  a great example because Chevrolet has such strict brand guidelines that like you can't use
• 1:22:46
  just like a one color exactly right, because the one color black or that
• 1:22:50
  kid would look sick, that would be so bold, weird, three dimensional
• 1:22:55
  thing just looks so convoluting, like it takes away from the rest of the
• 1:22:58
  jersey because in my opinion, yeah, it's like a big sloppy American.
• 1:23:02
  Yeah, just sloppy American. Yeah, in the middle of my chest,
• 1:23:10
  sloppy American turd and lam Lamar always come through with the kids, man,
• 1:23:15
  I don't know how how many kids you got, probably like thirty. Damn.
• 1:23:20
  It was like different ones over over the years. I mean it's been
• 1:23:24
  decades now I don't have one. What's your favorite my favorite kid, the
• 1:23:29
  one one that I have or just in general, yeah, collection o,
• 1:23:36
  what's my favorite one? Probably I got one of the it's like the Corinthians
• 1:23:44
  Japanese. You know that the one like honoring their club World Cup. I
• 1:23:49
  don't know. I don't know if you saw that one. Yeah, I
• 1:23:51
  got that one. That's probably my favorite one. Is it all the Japanese
• 1:23:55
  letters? Yeah, it's like a off white color all that one. You
• 1:23:59
  got that one? Yeah, I was worried here. I don't remember.
• 1:24:01
  You probably sleep probably, Yeah. My cohes like because I work a full
• 1:24:10
  time job. Sometimes I come back and I'm tired when I record here,
• 1:24:15
  and they like to definitely not sometimes. Okay. The two niggas that are
• 1:24:17
  laughing the most don't have jobs. So we're like, good thing. We've
• 1:24:20
  been doing this for years. Where are you at two pm on Tuesday at
• 1:24:27
  work? You ready? I'm a weak? Yeah? Should I tell you?
• 1:24:33
  I'm not? I don't got time to sleep. I actually have all
• 1:24:38
  the time. Anyway, we're gonna move ahead, slowing ahead from the jobless
• 1:24:44
  man. Um, So what do you feel or how do you feel about
• 1:24:47
  a messy coming to MLS? That was guess and do you think it will
• 1:24:53
  be good for American soccer? So? I think this is a multi layered
• 1:24:59
  question. Um, good for American soccer? How would we define what's good?
• 1:25:04
  For American soccer. Is it going to sort of increase in investment in
• 1:25:09
  like youth soccer programs, so like less fortunate kids can have access to high
• 1:25:13
  level coaching and all that. Maybe I don't know, right because because to
• 1:25:17
  me, that's really how we improve US soccer. Right, that's like the
• 1:25:20
  first and foremost like eliminating paid to play. Um, is it going to
• 1:25:26
  increase investment in sort of US soccer obviously increase MLS viewership? I think that's
• 1:25:31
  definitely gonna do that. Even for my business now, like we're gonna make
• 1:25:36
  more money because Messi's in MLS now, Like that's just like, um so
• 1:25:42
  yeah, I think from like a financial perspective, it's going to be more
• 1:25:45
  money invested in soccer in this country. Um. I just hope that it
• 1:25:48
  eventually like gets to the people that are the future of US soccer. Right.
• 1:25:54
  I think one of the biggest challenges US soccer has faced or and still
• 1:25:57
  faces, is the fact that like young kids in inner cities don't have access
• 1:26:00
  to I mean, what do the kids play right in Philly, like Journeyman,
• 1:26:05
  Like, I think more money needs to be invested in youth soccer.
• 1:26:09
  It seemed like there is in basketball and football programs. Um. So yeah,
• 1:26:14
  for me, that's really what it comes down to. It is like
• 1:26:15
  a young kid in the city Philadelphia should not have to pay to play high
• 1:26:20
  level soccer, right, because then if we can figure if we can solve
• 1:26:24
  that problem with the talent pole this country has, we can definitely definitely be
• 1:26:30
  you know, a world like we're gonna be we canna be world beaters.
• 1:26:33
  The challenges that For example, you look at the best players that on the
• 1:26:38
  national team now, a lot of them didn't play in America growing up.
• 1:26:42
  They play in the European Academy, right, you know what I mean.
• 1:26:45
  So it's like, how how how how much longer can the US say,
• 1:26:49
  hey, we want to if you want to win a World Cup when you're
• 1:26:53
  not even really given the most athletic or the most talented kids in the country
• 1:26:58
  a shot at you know, because it's too much money guaranteed. Yeah,
• 1:27:02
  too much money guaranteed in that so they don't want to put that into urban
• 1:27:05
  cities. But that's a whole different conversation. Here's my pushback to that,
• 1:27:11
  though. My pushback is this, right, like, Okay, you'd rather
• 1:27:14
  charge twenty and thirty kids a few thousand dollars right as season or whatever it
• 1:27:18
  is to play. That's a very short sighted game, right if you do
• 1:27:21
  the European model, which obviously needs to be tweaked for an American economy,
• 1:27:26
  But do you your European model, and everywhelse in the world goes, look,
• 1:27:30
  we'll develop all these kids, we'll get them education, but we sell
• 1:27:35
  one kid to a big club for a few million, few million dollars,
• 1:27:40
  that pays for a lot more of that. I mean, like that,
• 1:27:44
  That's why certain academies are known for developing players. It's like, you know,
• 1:27:47
  um, the club for the club in Brazil that Arsenal got Gabriel Martinelli
• 1:27:51
  from for sixty million pounds, Like that money got them a new training facility
• 1:27:55
  is so much more, you know, facilities that charging twenty thirty kids to
• 1:28:00
  being an academy a few thousand dollars is not gonna do for you, you
• 1:28:03
  know what I mean. Like, so to me, it's a very short
• 1:28:05
  seting. Oh i'm a coach, I'm going to charge you your kids twenty
• 1:28:09
  five thirty three brand a season. Whatever. It's like, that's fine,
• 1:28:13
  You're only gonna get rich kids that can afford that we can say, hey,
• 1:28:15
  look, we'll find talented kids in the neighborhood in a certain cities or
• 1:28:18
  whatever bring them into the academy. It's gonna cost a lot of money.
• 1:28:21
  Someone's gonna have to foot the bill for that. But I think it's over
• 1:28:24
  a long enough time right enough, a long enough timeframe, you sell a
• 1:28:29
  couple of kids to bigger and bigger clubs, that's going to generate money for
• 1:28:32
  the program as a whole. So to me, I think that's really where
• 1:28:35
  we should be moving towards. If we want to compete on the world stage.
• 1:28:39
  It can't just be like, hey, it's only rich kids that are
• 1:28:42
  talent that's in our talent pool, because then it's just like you're not either
• 1:28:45
  rich kids in America or kids that like whose parents like moved to Europe or
• 1:28:48
  something got them in a Barcelona academy, but like a dormant academy like pool
• 1:28:51
  of sick and rainer. And it has to be like, hey, we
• 1:28:55
  do it. I want some kids from inner city Philadelphia to make the US
• 1:28:58
  national team, you know what I mean, and then end up at Arsenal,
• 1:29:00
  Like that's where we need to happen to start happening the next few years.
• 1:29:05
  Definitely, Yeah, I agree with that. And it's funny because like
• 1:29:09
  a soccer, football whatever is like it's a game that's so relatively it doesn't
• 1:29:15
  take a lot to play it, and yet it's so hard to get people
• 1:29:19
  to play it. Man, Like you don't need pads or nothing like that,
• 1:29:24
  like like you do football. But there's mad little pop Warner League teams.
• 1:29:28
  That's fine to get inter city kids on these on these teams somehow.
• 1:29:31
  So it's like when I when I see that, and then you got au
• 1:29:35
  teams in the basketball world, It's like, why can we not get this
• 1:29:41
  same attention for soccer? And I think it all boils down to you kids
• 1:29:46
  in America. People in America are not that have not been historically that interested
• 1:29:51
  in the game. The appeal is just the appeal isn't there. But I
• 1:29:56
  feel like once people like messy icons like Messi and Um who came over before,
• 1:30:00
  like Abrahimovich and Um backing them back in the day or whatever, like
• 1:30:06
  people come over, you get the spotlight on it. People get interested in
• 1:30:13
  uh into it, and then they really in order to see how much money
• 1:30:16
  is in it, like soccer money, football money, is read I mean
• 1:30:23
  ridiculous, you can say that. But also the internet makes everything like kids
• 1:30:28
  can see whatever they really they can see the whole world if they want.
• 1:30:30
  Yeah, they can see the whole world. But like like the the example
• 1:30:35
  that when was, Yeah they can see that, but they can't touch it.
• 1:30:40
  Yeah, I can say they don't have you can see kids and making
• 1:30:44
  side. There's probably kids out there that want to play side. We're wearing,
• 1:30:45
  what you're gonna do, what team you're gonna play, there's nothing,
• 1:30:48
  Okay, you gotta have something tangible as much you can see it all you
• 1:30:51
  want, but something's tangible. Someone has to build that infrastructure for them,
• 1:30:56
  right right. I think what's gonna have to happen is, you know,
• 1:30:59
  it's gonna have to be even if it isn't a player from outside of the
• 1:31:02
  country to come to the MLS, Like there has to be that guy,
• 1:31:05
  like who was that guy in the MLS right now before MESSI guy here,
• 1:31:09
  But it doesn't have to be MLS. Well, I mean just for America,
• 1:31:13
  like if you want to if if you're if we're talking about America,
• 1:31:15
  you gotta start here. No, but it could just be an American player
• 1:31:17
  playing that somewhere that too, But I think that's more because MLS is like,
• 1:31:23
  but those are places that the kids can go. It's not a huge
• 1:31:27
  league. Yeah, so it can be. I think it's more than just
• 1:31:31
  like a superstar player. I think everything is We're all saying it is correct,
• 1:31:35
  Like it definitely needs an invassement on the grassroots level. That's the first.
• 1:31:40
  You got to look at it from like player development, like I guess
• 1:31:43
  talent development, but also like the league level. Right, MLS is twenty
• 1:31:47
  something years old, like mus is a very youngly, Like I'm older than
• 1:31:51
  MLS, right, you know what I mean? Um So when we try
• 1:31:57
  to compare with like the Premier League that's been around for like one hundred I
• 1:32:00
  mean the Premier League in its current formats, like you know, just like
• 1:32:02
  thirty thirty one years old, but like you know, the English leave has
• 1:32:06
  been around for like a long long time, Like there's so much history,
• 1:32:10
  there's so much tradition there. They're like, we just don't have a major
• 1:32:13
  league soccer in America, right, So I think that needs to start,
• 1:32:16
  Like we didn't start creating what that American culture is and the next things we
• 1:32:21
  need to kind of develop talent. That's like, yo, because Pollistick is
• 1:32:26
  good, like he's from Hersheyp and I think that's a big reason why he's
• 1:32:29
  so popular in the national team. With the realities, it's like Dortmund is
• 1:32:32
  what made him as good as he is, you know what I mean?
• 1:32:35
  And it was his parents sacrifice and they go over to Germany to give him
• 1:32:39
  that education that's made him is so good. That story needs to happen.
• 1:32:43
  It's like, Yo, some kid from Jersey, some kid from like South
• 1:32:46
  Florida or whatever from Miami is something to like poor kids becomes like a superstar,
• 1:32:51
  like the Lebron James, Like we need that person. That's like he
• 1:32:54
  didn't have Lebron didn't have to leave America to become nice and basketball and then
• 1:32:58
  come back to American domin at the NBA. Like he's literally from Acrono.
• 1:33:00
  He's from right, literally homegrown, you know what I mean. I think
• 1:33:05
  when you start having more and more of those stories, I think that's when
• 1:33:09
  people become more and more invested in again, because let's be honest, like
• 1:33:12
  people like the under dog. People like to connect to people who come from
• 1:33:15
  nothing. Right, that's the typical, the quintessential American stories like yo,
• 1:33:18
  he came from nothing, but now it's like, yo, he came from
• 1:33:21
  nothing, but he had to go to Germany. He had to go to
• 1:33:24
  Europe to like honing skills and they come back to America. Like look at
• 1:33:27
  farm now Arsenal players, not jose to Cliff the national US national team.
• 1:33:32
  He's a nigga from South London, Like you have him talk like there's nothing
• 1:33:35
  American about him, but like he's choosing to put the US because he knows
• 1:33:39
  he'll never play in England over Harry King. Yeah, I mean, like
• 1:33:43
  how No, obviously I don't want to get into the politics, and I'm
• 1:33:48
  like, yo, we need to develop talent here in a way. That's
• 1:33:51
  like yo, Like that's the kid that like you know, like damn,
• 1:33:55
  like I went to high school with that kid or like I played. Yeah,
• 1:33:58
  I see what you're saying. He's gonna look at him and be like
• 1:34:00
  I connected that guy. He could say he's from America all you want,
• 1:34:03
  Like I ain't even lieve in that. Oh he's not gonna say that,
• 1:34:06
  but yeah, I'm just saying I'll enjoy him being on the team. That's
• 1:34:10
  all I'm saying. I think the fust Ran, I'm sorry said his talents.
• 1:34:15
  Obviously Undernid was a very like top level striker. But it's like how
• 1:34:20
  America, I just don't get to deposits like whatever. Woman saying like yo,
• 1:34:24
  like he's not I have cousin from from Peckham and like they're like yo,
• 1:34:28
  like they know of him, like they know, yeah he grew up,
• 1:34:30
  but like he didn't grow up in like North or whatever. They can
• 1:34:35
  right it's Peckham, Like I he grew up in the top boy town.
• 1:34:45
  I was gonna say, I mean to tie it all together, I think
• 1:34:48
  it's just frustrating, like the main thing because like there's so many athletes that
• 1:34:50
  we see from America that people just don't play soccer man like and like you
• 1:34:56
  said, it's the resources and everything like that. It's just yeah, I
• 1:34:59
  mean he's gonna say that there's an excess amount of athletes that are playing other
• 1:35:01
  sports. Ye are just like like like how people people really big people.
• 1:35:08
  The way people are looking at Odell Beckham, they were like, imagine if
• 1:35:10
  this dude played fucking soccer, Like if you just put that skill, but
• 1:35:14
  you know what, but maybe you'd be crazy on Yeah, do you have
• 1:35:20
  a do you have a player right now in a different sport right now in
• 1:35:23
  America? Like you feel like you know, if he played soccer his whole
• 1:35:27
  life, his whole his whole life, like if he just if he was
• 1:35:30
  like as a young as a ute he was in a soccer academy, he
• 1:35:34
  would be insane. Mm hmm. You know what's funny, No, because
• 1:35:43
  a lot of other sports in the America that are popular, you have to
• 1:35:45
  be like freakish. That's true. Good true that that's true. Like when
• 1:35:53
  you think of like Odell Beckham, I don't know how. I don't know.
• 1:35:55
  He's like stats, but I don't know. He's like six foot something
• 1:35:57
  probably turning something pounds, right like that frame in soccer, Like it's very
• 1:36:00
  like it's not the average frame, like the average build for a soccer frame.
• 1:36:05
  Like MESSI is the girl at Messi's five foot sever and to become five
• 1:36:09
  foot seven, he had to take hgh, he had to take like human
• 1:36:11
  growth formal and he's like, you didn't know that little boy he was as
• 1:36:17
  a kid, They said he would have been like less than five feet tall,
• 1:36:20
  little dwarf if he didn't get that Barcelona, is it I don't know
• 1:36:25
  if this is true everyone, you might have to correct me, but I
• 1:36:27
  think Barcelona had to like pay for that back in like when he was a
• 1:36:30
  kid. Yeah, yeah, that's why he was able to like go to
• 1:36:34
  That's really why he went to Barcelona, you know what I mean? So
• 1:36:38
  you know I remember those Um, this is years ago, but like,
• 1:36:41
  um, I think it was Emlis all Star was in Kansas City and Peter
• 1:36:45
  Vermis, who was the coach. I don't know if he still is,
• 1:36:46
  but he was coach at the time, like he should like always focus on
• 1:36:49
  like sort of athletics and athletics, right, And somebody put a picture of
• 1:36:53
  like the sporting case he players, you know, and they're all like super
• 1:36:57
  fit and super just like everyone's jack, right, and the guys put a
• 1:37:00
  picture of like Indiesta and de Maria next to it, like Innesta de Maria
• 1:37:04
  do not have any single muscles one whatsoever. That's true. But these guys
• 1:37:08
  are like elite footballers. So I think it's gonna be hard to compare like
• 1:37:11
  other American athletes that would be good in soccer, because like to be good
• 1:37:15
  in basketball, you have to get at least six for something to do.
• 1:37:16
  I mean to be really good in football, you have do pretty much right.
• 1:37:20
  So like it's it's hard to say, um truth please speaking like most
• 1:37:26
  kids will be really good in soccer in America knowing even consider them like affletes.
• 1:37:29
  My homes are really good at football all under like the six foot yeah
• 1:37:32
  say it's like the hitting gyms. Like they're out here just doing gardening,
• 1:37:39
  ork yard work other way. Yeah. Ye all right, man, before
• 1:37:46
  we get about get you about it here, um, before we get you
• 1:37:50
  about it, before we let you go sound crazy, before we get you
• 1:37:55
  a bout of here, because we got three people on the podcast that definitely
• 1:38:00
  appreciates soccer. The other ones they really don't so much. All right,
• 1:38:05
  Kyle, Damn, Keenan or whatever, basketball, basketball, basketball, any
• 1:38:11
  of Um, what is your what is your favorite football moment? Oh?
• 1:38:20
  My favorite football moments? Okay, I would say it was so I grew
• 1:38:29
  up in Nigeria and I remember what year it was, but there was like
• 1:38:33
  this charity like football match where um a Nigeria player by the name of I
• 1:38:40
  think it was like Celestian Baba Yaro he had played for like UM not him.
• 1:38:45
  It was a Tarry b West, Harry West with Chelsea Inter Milan and
• 1:38:46
  stuff like that. Um, he organized his like charity match in Nigeria National
• 1:38:50
  Stadium, which is like the big just think about imagine like the Lincoln Financial
• 1:38:55
  fillab but like in in in Lagos in Nigeria, and he got all these
• 1:39:00
  international superstars to come and play in this match. And my uncle like snuck
• 1:39:05
  me out of school. I was like, oh, like his dad wants
• 1:39:08
  something like that, just a kid picking up for school and like, my
• 1:39:11
  hope wouldn't have like that much money. I know, he probably saved up
• 1:39:14
  for like months building for two tickets and like took me on the bus like
• 1:39:17
  public transportation Niger, which is like absolutely terrible, right my dad thought out.
• 1:39:21
  My dad had been absolutely livid, Like it's basically took me out of
• 1:39:25
  school and like took me to the stadium and we had like nose bleed ass
• 1:39:28
  seats. But like it was like the best moment of my life. I
• 1:39:30
  just remember watching all these Nigeria and stars playing and like a couple in international
• 1:39:34
  guys playing. I was like, yo, this is like I was like
• 1:39:38
  maybe seven or eight if I remember correct, when it was just it was
• 1:39:40
  it was the I would never ever forget that that was my life peak at
• 1:39:46
  that point. It's all down. No, literally, because it was just
• 1:39:53
  like I knew that game was happening. I begged my dad for tickets.
• 1:39:56
  He was like, no, no, it's not gonna be safe. Yeah,
• 1:39:58
  my dad was kind of very strict. My uncle is just kind of
• 1:40:00
  fuck it, like we're gonna go. And then I just like super just
• 1:40:03
  Yeah, it was just that moment. I just remember sitting up there.
• 1:40:06
  The stadium was packed. It was almost like an All Star again, so
• 1:40:11
  like no one took it serious to Everyone was just like doing skills and tricks
• 1:40:14
  and it was just like amazing. So yeah, I would say that was
• 1:40:16
  definitely like mine. Yeah when did you When did your dad found out you
• 1:40:21
  went though? When when we got home then? And I wasn't you know
• 1:40:29
  my school was across the street from the house murder. Yeah, so we
• 1:40:36
  come back at like nine thirty, ten o'clock. Where have you been frantically
• 1:40:43
  looking for you? National Stadium was amazing. Yeah, that's a shot.
• 1:40:53
  That's a shot. Uh, you got one real quick? What a favorite
• 1:40:57
  football moment? Oh, the story of me going to Manchester and actually seeing
• 1:41:00
  a game in person. We don't have time for that whole story. Yeah,
• 1:41:04
  I almost didn't get in the stadium and it took wait what yeah,
