Summary
Tyler the Creator's performance at the Grammys was a masterclass in pyrotechnics, and he did it in a way no other artist has ever done before. It's not even close to what other artists have ever done, and it's a showstopper.

00:00:13.000
Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McGuinness.
00:00:20.000
For real, for real this time'Cause you make my earthquake Oh, you make my-Mmm.
00:00:33.000
That was Tyler the Creator and his hit song Earthquake.
00:00:41.000
Like Earthquake, but with an F. I guess he's mocking Ebotics.
00:00:56.000
Used to work at Supreme, a hustler, which is a very Harlem thing.
00:01:04.000
But he started out as a rapper, but now he seems to combine rap with love songs and stuff.
00:01:17.000
Sometimes it's hard to differentiate between a very weird dude and an artist.
00:01:22.000
a very gifted artist I should say and I wasn't sure what he might And so is my wife.
00:01:39.000
And holy shit, if I haven't seen someone use the medium better than Tyler the Creator at his show.
00:01:49.000
You have, and don't start it yet, but you have X amount of parameters when you do a live show, right?
00:01:58.000
And I've noticed I'm starting to see fire more on stage.
00:02:02.000
I guess someone decided a way to do it that wasn't that you could afford the insurance for it.
00:02:06.000
I've seen it at a few concerts now with people blasting out fire.
00:02:10.000
So Pyrotechnics is back after the, what was that?
00:02:15.000
There was that fire at a club and a bunch of people died, piled out trying to get out of there.
00:02:22.000
It was started by a jealous boyfriend who wanted revenge on his girl and ended up killing like a hundred people.
00:02:49.000
Just put up like rock concert pyrotechnics death catastrophe.
00:02:54.000
Anyway, they seem to have moved on from that and then we're back with fire.
00:03:00.000
Tyler the Creator goes, all right, what can we do?
00:03:28.000
Well, I guess we could have a screen at the back that repeats the pattern of the foreground, and it would look like it went on forever.
00:03:40.000
And he's just maximized what you can do on a TV performance.
00:03:56.000
Oh, by the way, first of all, before you see this, boys to men are there, who are like my age now, and they're singing by a flaming trash can, like doo-wop.
00:04:06.000
And then he comes over, sings with them for a bit.
00:04:27.000
Sometimes you gotta close a door to open a window.
00:04:47.000
And then you go, okay, well that was pretty crazy.
00:04:53.000
So from now on it's just gonna be flashing lights and him singing into the microphone.
00:05:41.000
So he starts getting up on a rising platform, and they all start thrashing.
00:05:45.000
And then the buildings burst into flames, like real flames.
00:05:48.000
And the camera's shaking as it films this, too.
00:06:04.000
Yeah, and I can see where there's the screen in the back is the three houses.
00:06:10.000
So it's actually really controlled and like reasonable.
00:06:15.000
Those are just the last two buildings on that little street he made.
00:06:30.000
Like, you can't, what are you going to do now when it's your live performance at an awards show?
00:06:38.000
You'd have to have a bunch of killer snakes and chop them up with swords.
00:06:46.000
You'd have to eat bat soup and then cough into the audience's face.
00:07:18.000
We got Larry Burns, former Walter Waite champion, coming in here.
00:07:29.000
He's going to come in here and talk about one of the most consequential fights in the history of boxing, but definitely the most consequential fight of his career when he fought Trinidad, Felix Trinidad, about 23 years ago.
00:07:41.000
He's going to take us through it frame by frame, if he shows up, that is.
00:07:53.000
They said, because it just happened yesterday, and they kept saying, peace out, rest in peace, and holding up a jersey that said Kobe.
00:08:07.000
There was a massive, like crazy African spiritual dedication to Nipsey Hustle.
00:08:17.000
Oh, wasn't he just some random criminal rapper?
00:08:27.000
Because for some reason, black Americans are convinced that Egyptians were black and we were kings.
00:08:44.000
Yeah, but there's black people on their, like King Tut's grave.
00:08:47.000
I had a big argument with the rapper, R.A. the Rugged Man, about this.
00:09:02.000
I feel like an idiot because I don't know any of Nipsey Hustle's music.
00:09:07.000
But I assume Juice World was trash, but he was pretty good.
00:09:16.000
Now you made me forget what I was talking about.
00:09:20.000
And he goes, there's black people on the coffin.
00:09:26.000
It was considered like a gesture of respect to put your slaves on your tomb so you'd bring your slaves with you to the afterlife.
00:09:38.000
They've ran samples from these mummies and they come out looking like every Egyptian guy you've ever met.
00:10:07.000
Well, I thought it was just the same monotonous cookie cutter trap.
00:10:15.000
Listen, it's boring R ⁇ B. No, but it's some fucking meathead.
00:10:33.000
The only reason that it's bad is because it's so beautiful.
00:10:50.000
Anyway, so Cobe died, killed in a helicopter accident with his daughter.
00:10:59.000
And when you're in a helicopter and it's foggy, I mean, planes can have their instruments they can go by, but a helicopter can't see shit.
00:11:06.000
And if the instruments aren't working, you're done.
00:11:08.000
And I think they just went right into a mountain.
00:11:10.000
I heard some imbecile sheriff from that area say, what was his exact quote?
00:11:16.000
He said, when the emergency team arrived, we found that the nine survivors had been perished.
00:11:27.000
And then they kept using perished as a verb the whole press conference.
00:11:36.000
If an American flight crashes right over the border in Canada, where do you bury the survivors?
00:11:50.000
If a rooster lays an egg at the top of the roof, which side does it fall off of?
00:11:55.000
Do you think I'm even close to as dumb as you are?
00:11:59.000
So Ari Shafir had an interesting take on the death of this legend.
00:12:08.000
It didn't involve saying, R.I.P., you're a legend.
00:12:13.000
In fact, it said that it was 23 years too late.
00:12:28.000
As I know, there's always a lot of like hate and pain in the world, and there's always a bunch of terrible stories.
00:12:33.000
And every once in a while, there's a good story.
00:12:46.000
I'm here in Charlotte, the home of the team that originally drafted him.
00:12:51.000
Maybe he wouldn't have break that chicken temper if he had stayed in Charlotte with the hornets.
00:13:01.000
I think it was a written tweet that's probably near there.
00:13:06.000
So Tariq Nasheed's take is a lot of anti-black racists seem to be celebrating Kobe Bryan's death today.
00:13:14.000
I've never heard him use the term anti-black racists.
00:13:17.000
Is he acknowledging that there are black racists who hate white people?
00:13:22.000
Because that's the only time you'd need that term if you were trying to separate like racists from the black Hebrew Israelites.
00:13:32.000
He got away with rape because all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for the Lakers more than they dislike rape.
00:13:39.000
Big ups to the hero who forgot to gas up his chopper.
00:13:51.000
He just says the most inappropriate thing imaginable.
00:13:58.000
That sounds pretty, yeah, that sounds pretty mean it to me.
00:14:04.000
And that thing about they like the Lakers more than they dislike rape, that's not just like a random haha.
00:14:26.000
And there's all these blue check, blue, there's all these blue check Twitter people.
00:14:51.000
Really sorry to hear about Ari Shafir's career.
00:15:05.000
Oh, that's someone saying, I hope someone puts hands in feet.
00:15:07.000
Yeah, that's what I was talking about, which the threads.
00:15:18.000
She claims that she was confusing the Knicks and the Lakers, and she said the Nakers.
00:15:23.000
But we're going to have to listen a little more.
00:15:27.000
I make that mistake when I'm driving and I got cut off.
00:15:36.000
Perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Nakers, Los Angeles Likers.
00:15:42.000
We're going to have to listen to that 150 times if we're going to do that again.
00:15:47.000
The kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Nakers.
00:16:07.000
The Knicks have nothing to do with that human being.
00:16:13.000
If there is one imbecile out there that thinks that she did it on purpose, you deserve to go to a mental institution.
00:16:26.000
They accuse, like, that guy who said, he was talking about Jeremy Lynn and said a chink in the armor.
00:16:32.000
And the idea that someone is sitting there their whole career waiting to drop an N-bomb or a chink bomb.
00:16:40.000
Like, so why did Colin Kaepernick take a knee because of pieces of shit like this?
00:16:49.000
It's not racist if you insult a black person for raping someone.
00:17:01.000
Oh, Colin Kaepernick took a knee because of trash like this.
00:17:07.000
Now she can play like, she didn't say it, play mind games with people's heads, listen to a 10 times word nigger.
00:17:17.000
You could feel like my face, like her face getting hot right after she said that.
00:17:21.000
She was getting like, we used to call it a mink prickly in high school because it feels like you're wearing a mink coat.
00:17:27.000
So she got all those prickles on the backs of her shoulders.
00:17:33.000
And it's one thing to end your career on something you believe in.
00:17:36.000
Like my advertising career was ended when I said trans people are just mentally okay.
00:17:43.000
But when it's something that you don't believe, like Kobe O'Brien is an N-word.
00:18:25.000
I want to go through that fight frame by frame.
00:18:35.000
And when I yell, when I yell, are you not entertained?
00:18:45.000
I'm going to get him and take him straight to the green room.
00:18:52.000
I'll be talking with a microphone to him, and then I'll escort him out.
00:19:08.000
I stand five feet six inches, and I used to weigh 147 pounds.
00:19:13.000
I was a former number one contender by the IBF, and I fought Felix Trinidad November 18th, Saturday night, 1995.
00:19:28.000
And I was the New York State Champ twice, And the North American champ as well.
00:19:33.000
Now, I noticed when anyone looks you up, this fight comes up pretty regularly.
00:19:39.000
Well, I think this fight was the feature not only of my career, but the highlight of my life.
00:19:45.000
And it was on HBO, and it was the first time anybody on the East Coast had seen Felix Trinidad fighting on HBO.
00:19:56.000
Well, yes, and in many aspects, the fight changed me.
00:20:00.000
Going into the fight, I hadn't lost in five years.
00:20:03.000
I had rung up 22 fights, seven or eight knockouts, and I became the number one challenge in the world.
00:20:10.000
But when I fought Felix Trinidad, after that night, I was never the same fighter ever again.
00:20:19.000
My record ended up 45 wins, three losses, and 17 KOs.
00:20:36.000
Out of 98, I'm 90 wins, eight losses combined with both careers.
00:20:48.000
Well, you got to put your whole body into it and you got to make sure that you land precisely.
00:20:54.000
And you guess right on the chin or the body shot, body shot, headshot.
00:20:59.000
Just like Mike Tyson, the old late custom out used to show him.
00:21:06.000
Okay, catch him on the body, get his attention, get his head down, snap his head up, left hook, snap his head off.
00:21:22.000
You know, and no, but you could get knocked out also.
00:21:30.000
So you're kind of, well, every time that you talk to fighters, they say I'm kind of living in fear the whole time because I'm scared I'm going to get knocked out.
00:21:41.000
I took chances, and, you know, you got to be no fear to take chances.
00:21:46.000
Sometimes it might not be with you, and it might be with you.
00:22:04.000
And you're looking at the referee, Benji Estevez, and that's me 24 years ago.
00:22:17.000
Yeah, you know, in all dexterity, that's what happened.
00:22:29.000
And he was fucked over by his manager, and that's going back to, like, the 1800s.
00:22:34.000
Yeah, the early, early, early 1900s, late 1800s, right after the turn of the 20th century.
00:22:50.000
I'm not the first guy that's going to end up broke, and I'm not the last guy.
00:22:58.000
Now they're introducing Felix Trinidad, him and his aunt.
00:23:09.000
He was hot as a firecracker on the 4th of July.
00:23:18.000
Now, when I watch you fight, it seems to me like your trademark is this bobbing and weaving up and down.
00:23:25.000
From the old, the late, great Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson.
00:23:28.000
You know, if you're going to mimic somebody, you might as well mimic the best.
00:23:32.000
And Mike Tyson and Joe Frazier at that time were the best.
00:23:36.000
Joe Frazier was retired, but Mike Tyson was still going on, so I was mimicking Mike Tyson for the most part of my career.
00:23:45.000
I thought his thing was just an insane knockout punch out of the beginning.
00:23:49.000
Well, not only that, I took some stuff from when him and Customatic used to work on the bobbing and weaving and the peekaboo style and going out the peekaboo style and fighting out of the peekaboo.
00:24:01.000
Both hands here and going this way, looking that way, making sure that you can peekaboo.
00:24:13.000
Oh, Mike Tyson, if he hit you, you thought he had dynamite in his hands.
00:24:26.000
If he hit you, you went out for the count of 10.
00:24:31.000
Mike Tyson was a real nice guy, and he still is a nice guy.
00:24:35.000
Anytime anybody tell you anything negative about Mike Tyson, it's basically not true.
00:24:45.000
Didn't he beat the shit out of Don King in a hotel?
00:24:54.000
And some friends told him his money was missing and a lot of it.
00:25:09.000
So Mike Tyson, from what I heard, from what I understood, he confronted Don King in the Beverly Hills Hotel.
00:25:19.000
That's when he started kicking and stomping Don King in front of a bunch of white women.
00:25:26.000
And he was just punishing Don until the police got there.
00:25:30.000
And he said, when he went to court, he got $20 million.
00:25:43.000
And these are the words of Mike Tyson, what he said on the documentary.
00:25:51.000
And I understand when the cops saw him beating Don King.
00:25:57.000
They sort of took their time getting him off because, you know, $200 million is not a drop in the high.
00:26:09.000
Here I am getting ready to face a great fighter, Felix Trinidad.
00:26:30.000
See, that bobbing weaving thing, he just can't hit you.
00:26:33.000
It bothered him for the first couple of rounds until he timed me.
00:26:42.000
At this point, at this time, everything is fast motion here.
00:26:46.000
It was like me being on a moped and he was in a Ferrari.
00:27:06.000
I'm just trying to figure a way how to get in and navigate to go to the body.
00:27:20.000
When I got in the ring, he was 6 feet and a half inches.
00:27:26.000
And it's hard to hit someone's head when it's that high.
00:27:39.000
And sometimes he's hitting me, sometimes he's not.
00:27:42.000
But for the most part, I got to be aware of what he's doing.
00:27:49.000
And I'm trying to get into a level where I can throw the right hand.
00:27:58.000
If anybody else would have hit, he would have knocked out by this time.
00:28:03.000
So it seems like a left hook to the head is the only time you go for the head.
00:28:06.000
Yeah, because he wouldn't let me throw the right hand to the body because he hit me with a left hook of his own to the body.
00:28:13.000
So I was protecting my right hand, so I wouldn't get hit with that body shot.
00:28:24.000
And I think it's because of your insane training.
00:28:28.000
That's because of running 10 miles a day, then from running 10 miles a day, jumping in the pool and swimming a mile, and like swimming 60 laps in like 50 minutes.
00:28:39.000
Then I would get out, then I would watch the pool deck when I worked at Mount Vernon High School.
00:28:45.000
I was a gym teacher's assistant when I worked as a boxer for 20 years.
00:28:50.000
So, you know, the staff, they allowed me to work a day for a while.
00:28:55.000
But you wouldn't run on a treadmill, so you must have been running all over New York.
00:29:01.000
I was running all over the tri-state area, and pretty soon after I retired, I needed a hip replacement.
00:29:13.000
And I was trying to get from one town to the next.
00:29:18.000
And I probably had like a six-minute and ten-second mile.
00:29:38.000
Right now, he's a little nervous because he doesn't know how to handle me.
00:29:46.000
And I'm cutting him off, but he's changing directions in the ring.
00:29:55.000
See, right now it looks slow, but and there's a speed of light.
00:30:03.000
It's crowded at the Civic Center in Atlantic City.
00:30:08.000
How much would the purse be for a fight like this?
00:30:10.000
Well, I was the number one contender in the world.
00:30:19.000
But knowing from what I know now, from what government officials told me, I got a little bit more than that.
00:30:36.000
And they don't do that anymore since you got ripped off.
00:30:39.000
They won't say what happened to Larry Bonds, but after I retired, they put a rule and they put a national rule in the sport of boxing.
00:30:48.000
You can only be the manager, and the trainer can be the trainer.
00:31:06.000
He's moving perpendicular, far to the right, while I'm trying to move to my left to catch him with a right hand.
00:31:22.000
When I got caught with that left hook on the temple in the fourth round, I didn't know who I was or where I was at.
00:31:31.000
And I'll tell you right now, Benji Estevez looked like Rod Sterling from the Twilight Zone.
00:31:44.000
Now, I'm going to take some punishment here after this round.
00:31:52.000
Right now, I felt that my gas tank was getting revved up.
00:31:56.000
Right now, my gas tank was getting revved up, and I just had to figure him out.
00:32:04.000
I'm just trying to just pick him apart and just move.
00:32:07.000
And he's just looking for the Yangles to get a good shot.
00:32:15.000
Yes, he is, but he can't hit me right now because I'm moving my head.
00:32:21.000
But I caught him with a straight jab right there.
00:32:38.000
What did your trainer say when you're in the corner now?
00:32:49.000
I really try to get him, but I fall a little short right here.
00:32:56.000
He has to get out of there because I'm very dangerous at that point of the fight now.
00:33:00.000
If either of those connected, it would have been a different thing.
00:33:04.000
I would have been the new welterweight champion of the world.
00:33:07.000
See, in boxing, inches and miles make a long difference.
00:33:13.000
And here I am now trying to get back on him, cut him off.
00:33:20.000
So now he seems to be trying to do more uppercuts to catch you when you go down.
00:33:32.000
I see Trinidad's having a little problem trying to figure out the style because he's...
00:33:35.000
See, now he hit me with a body shot, so now I'm not letting my right hand go the way I want it to go because now if I let my right hand go, he's going to go underneath with his left.
00:33:45.000
He was taking chances as well as I was taking chances.
00:33:49.000
I tried copying you once by ducking like crazy, and after about 10 seconds, I was beat.
00:33:54.000
Well, when you fought Thursday, May 25th, 2019, you look well.
00:33:59.000
You really look well against that guy from North Carolina.
00:34:05.000
Hey, now Benji Esteban just told him, stop pushing my head down.
00:34:12.000
No, he just got worn because that was the first time Benji caught him.
00:34:16.000
Now right now, I'm just trying to get him in the corner.
00:34:22.000
Yes, I'm trying everything, but this guy, it was like me being on a moped and he was in the Ferrari.
00:34:29.000
I just couldn't cut off the corner because he was just moving like the speed of light.
00:34:52.000
Fruit, vegetables, steam oatmeal, stuff like that.
00:34:56.000
Now, fighters today, they eat five, six times a day.
00:35:09.000
You have to watch your diet, and you have to train hard, and you have to eat when you're supposed to eat.
00:35:17.000
If you eat at night, the food is going to sit in your stomach, and the food is going to lay there, and it's going to pile up calories over the 24-hour period that you sleep.
00:35:27.000
So when you wake up, you're more than a pound and a half heavy because all that food is in your stomach, no matter what it is.
00:35:43.000
Now, in the third round, I get caught with a left uppercut.
00:35:52.000
Now, I'm going to show you the shot that disoriented me.
00:35:59.000
It seems like that mask is a Dragon mask, which is the name of Larry Barnes' manager, Albino Dragon.
00:36:24.000
He's got to be one of the taller welterweights ever.
00:36:37.000
Now I'm starting to stand up a little higher now because I'm trying to fight him.
00:36:42.000
So now when I get hit on the chin, it's not really anything.
00:36:48.000
But when I get hit on the temple, it's everything.
00:36:57.000
I'm going to get hit with a left uppercut in this round.
00:37:00.000
And everybody's going to take a shower in the third, fourth row.
00:37:09.000
And if he goes to, if Trinidad continues to go to his right, he can shoot his right hand and not have to.
00:37:18.000
Because he shouldn't be throwing his punch first.
00:37:30.000
And when I talked to Larry Merchant after this fight, I made no excuses.
00:37:53.000
And then the dragon mask would be truly tested.
00:38:00.000
If Larry Barnes continues to get away from this.
00:38:29.000
Now, after this round, he got a little nervous because he didn't know what to do.
00:38:54.000
Anybody else would have been out on their feet.
00:39:07.000
And he got worried because anybody else you would hear would have been out of there already.
00:39:13.000
Yeah, back then, right there, I had a cast iron jaw.
00:39:18.000
How many times have you been knocked out in fights?
00:39:34.000
Here's the round where the crude de grace comes.
00:39:40.000
Well, wait, before we get there, you met a lot of celebrities.
00:39:48.000
A lot of people just really extravagant to be at the fights, you know.
00:39:58.000
You know, my last fight in Las Vegas, I'm walking down, I'm around Caesar's Palace, and guess who I see?
00:40:23.000
Mike Douglas, Mike Douglas, Catherine Geta Jones.
00:40:29.000
The late, great Miles Davis, the late, great Benny Hill.
00:40:32.000
I mean, like Steven Spielberg and his late mother.
00:40:41.000
What was that story where they said, hey, come with this champ?
00:40:46.000
Maybe next time, Danny, I say, maybe next time.
00:40:55.000
You know, and the garden, I'm just as famous as those guys.
00:40:58.000
Outside of the garden, I'm just the regular guy.
00:41:02.000
So, you know, you got to know when to say yeah, and you got to know when to say no.
00:41:07.000
You know, you got to know when to accept your welcome.
00:41:24.000
You're a good Spaniard, but you're not that good.
00:41:35.000
The young emperor has arranged a series of spectacles to commemorate his father, Marcus Aurelius.
00:41:41.000
I find that amusing because it was the old Marcus Aurelius, the old and wise, as we know, who closed this down.
00:41:47.000
So after five long years of scratching and living and being in fee-infested villages, we go back to where we belong.
00:41:57.000
50,000 Romans watching every movement of your sword, willing you to make that killer blow.
00:42:04.000
The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards, it rises.
00:42:11.000
If you were the Thunder God yourself, you were a gladiator.
00:42:32.000
Wait, wait, pause, because there's so much build-up to this.
00:42:43.000
I know I probably draw it around or probably won a round, but they had him up three to nothing.
00:42:49.000
It didn't really bother me because at that point, I think I was still in the fight until I got hit.
00:42:58.000
Well, what's amazing about this sport is I'm watching this, and so far I've seen about 10 punches that, if they had connected, would have ended the fight.
00:43:07.000
So it's this constant gamble, this constant coin toss.
00:43:11.000
Yeah, that's what I'm doing because I have to do that because he's not going to stand and fight me.
00:43:16.000
He's going to pepper away, pick and choose his spots.
00:43:19.000
And he watched me over the years like I watched him for the last two, three years.
00:43:26.000
And I'm pretty much thinking what he's going to do.
00:43:44.000
No, because once I tried to grab him, he tried to get away from me.
00:43:55.000
He knew that if I would have let go some punches, it would have been a problem.
00:44:18.000
About a minute and 30 seconds, I'm going to get caught with a block bust.
00:44:32.000
So that uppercut in the previous round didn't do anything?
00:44:42.000
Here's where I zigged when I should have zagged.
00:44:48.000
I also believe Tony has triggered that jab more.
00:45:03.000
When you stand him up, then you open yourself up to left hooks and right hands.
00:45:10.000
He's throwing that left jab, and they're all landing.
00:45:45.000
And the one in the middle is not doing anything.
00:46:18.000
Everybody can't believe that I'm still fighting.
00:46:25.000
I don't even know if I'm in cruise control or I crack.
00:47:05.000
Oh, show us exactly on your body where it landed.
00:47:08.000
He hit me right up under the floating rib and the liver.
00:47:20.000
They're constantly pissing blood after a fight.
00:47:24.000
Many people of my friends said in my hometown, I look like the Pope praying.
00:47:56.000
And, you know, everybody gave me a lot of prayers.
00:48:04.000
And five years later, maybe six years later, 2001, May 12th, Saturday night, he's fighting William Joppy at the garden in front of many celebrities.
00:48:29.000
I came in and they shook my hand and we talked a little bit.
00:48:33.000
And I said to him, you know, I'm going to leave you now.
00:48:35.000
I know you're busy, but I just wanted to say good luck.
00:48:38.000
He said to me as I walked out, on my way walking out, he says, hey, Laddie.
00:48:53.000
That's the shot right there that they got on the wall in Mount Vernon.
00:48:57.000
That's the shot they got on the wall right there.
00:49:17.000
Then I went to Vegas and I fought Yuri Boy Campus.
00:49:21.000
He also knocked his Yuri Boy Campus out in the fourth round.
00:49:24.000
He almost murdered him when he knocked him out.
00:49:27.000
So I lost to two guys who were much bigger than me and they had much more experience.
00:49:34.000
When I say much more experience, they had been fighting longer than I have.
00:49:38.000
So I retired after that fight, September 18th, Friday, 1998.
00:49:45.000
Then he fought Oscar De La Hoya September 18th, Saturday, 1999, and the Unification Walter Way showdown.
00:49:55.000
Many people thought Oscar De La Hoya won, and they asked me, I said, from my point of view, Oscar De La Hoya chose to go away in the later rounds, and he started to come on.
00:50:07.000
And that's why he got the fight over Oscar De La Hoya.
00:50:13.000
Based on that fight, what would you tell a young fighter who just went pro?
00:50:19.000
What advice would you give him to avoid getting knocked out?
00:50:33.000
When you go with your manager, you have to get your own attorney.
00:50:45.000
You know, fighters now, today, they got more control of their own careers.
00:50:52.000
You know, people wanted to be something that they can't be.
00:50:57.000
I didn't have anybody of my ethnic background around me.
00:51:00.000
I had a bunch of Italians that they saw that they could take advantage of me.
00:51:07.000
And I don't care who hear this presentation because it's over.
00:51:11.000
But I'm telling anybody who wants to be a young prize fighter, you got to take your lawyer with you.
00:51:46.000
I don't want you thinking he was reading a teleprompter when he was doing the gladiator thing.
00:51:58.000
I think something rattled his cage Where he can see things just once and have them totally memorized, and also dates.
00:52:30.000
We have a short episode today because we're trying to cram in two so we can go to see Trump in Wildwood, New Jersey tomorrow.
00:52:42.000
Family's been going there since before I was born.
00:52:58.000
Great, you know, just after a while, the boardwalk becomes very repetitious and just monotonous, but it's nice.
00:53:07.000
But we had a hotel, the same one, for years right on the water.
00:53:34.000
You should go to the front and go, keep it on the DL when I'm wearing an Asian man mask in order to sneak in here without getting mobbed.
00:53:56.000
That impression might be a hit at such an event.
00:54:06.000
A MAGA hat for when you're talking to MAGA people, and then my Miles McInnis hat when you're talking to Libs.
00:54:13.000
I guarantee you, the Lib content is going to be 100 times better.
00:54:18.000
The Trump fans are just going to go, yeah, we just want jobs.
00:54:20.000
We think he's doing a great job and fuck everyone trying to hold him down.
00:54:25.000
But with the Libs, you're going to say, why do you hate him?
00:54:35.000
In fact, it would be cool if you did a montage of what is he.
00:54:41.000
Where you ask one question, then you go through all the people that answered it?
00:54:49.000
It was one of Tommy Robinson's hooligan buddies who was at an anti-Trump rally in London.
00:55:02.000
Okay, well, why don't you begin at the beginning?
00:55:19.000
His friends are the funnest, coolest, most hilarious bunch of dudes I've ever hung out with.
00:55:31.000
Oh, we're going to have to get to letters soon.
00:55:42.000
I hate Roombas and other things, like leaf blowers even I would count, that aren't more efficient than the analog way.
00:55:50.000
So a Roomba will clean your house in about eight hours.
00:55:55.000
A sweep that would take you 10 seconds, sweeping your apartment shouldn't take more than four minutes.
00:56:04.000
A Roomba will take all night bumping into stuff, keeping you awake.
00:56:09.000
I have some friends whose dog had diarrhea and it splattered all over the ground.
00:56:15.000
And then the Roomba dragged it everywhere over their entire house.
00:56:20.000
You couldn't have spread it better with a paintbrush under the baseboards, everywhere.
00:56:30.000
Now, the worst, worst, worst of the robot world, and by the way, I don't mind automation.
00:56:36.000
Where you're like picking up a windshield and putting it over there to dry.
00:56:49.000
Soon robots will be waitresses and they'll bring you your coffee.
00:56:53.000
Soon the bartender will just be a guy in a swivel.
00:57:06.000
If you're making a movie there, you don't rent stands for the lights.
00:57:15.000
So they just have humans holding all the lights.
00:57:20.000
I just saw a Twilight Zone episode where it's the same guy hating machines and robots.
00:57:30.000
So this is India saying they're going to send a robot to space.
00:57:36.000
That's just a fucking That's not a fucking real robot.
00:57:48.000
When they talk, they're just repeating a programmed thing.
00:57:51.000
They had that at Disneyland when I was seven years old in 1977.
00:57:56.000
I'm supposed to be blown away by this piece of shit.
00:58:19.000
And by the way, why does she have a shitty accent?
00:58:23.000
Shouldn't you speak perfect English and perfect Indian and perfect Chinese?
00:58:26.000
The prototype of the half humanoid being made for the first online Gaganyan machine.
00:58:32.000
I can monitor through module parameters, alert you, and perform life support operations.
00:58:38.000
I can mimic all through activities like switch panel operations, ECLSS functions, etc.
00:58:46.000
I can also be your companion, can converse with the astronauts, recognize them, and can also respond to their queries.
00:58:57.000
Dude, but imagine like you went to go slap her and be like, fuck you, robot.
00:59:00.000
And then her hand just goes up like this, like and just like perfectly blocks you.
00:59:09.000
How fucking stupid would you have to be to watch this and go, that's pretty intense.
00:59:14.000
There's a humanoid and it's saying it can turn off switches.
00:59:18.000
All I have to do is reach up and then hit the switch and go like that.
00:59:21.000
Yeah, no, we'll have it programmed in to turn it off from the base things.
00:59:31.000
Hey, robot, do you think like with your parents, do you think the love you feel when you're a kid is the same you feel when you're an adult?
00:59:49.000
However, if you have a math problem, like 10 plus 10, I can tell you the answer.
00:59:58.000
Are being created at an increasing rate by the various armies of the world to solve problems of varying complexity.
01:00:15.000
And then we get into a gray area of like Roombas versus that.
01:00:19.000
So if you want to send in a guy with a camera to where there's someone with a ransom, I mean, with a hostage, you want to go look at them and see what the situation is, maybe just shoot them.
01:00:36.000
When we talked about them on Red Eye, it was always this shit.
01:00:39.000
And it was always like, they're going to be, look, soon they'll serve you.
01:00:43.000
Why go get your own sandwich when you can have a $4.2 million robot do it?
01:00:50.000
Soon we'll all have $4.2 million to spare because we hate getting sandwiches so much.
01:01:28.000
It's just a bunch of fucking hydraulics under a mask.
01:01:49.000
I'm embarrassed that people think this is anything but a programmed response.
01:02:00.000
I'm in New York City, and I'm on my favorite show, The Tonight Show.
01:02:12.000
Out of all the shows she watches when she's alone in her little couch, they have a little apartment for her, and she watches television with a remote.
01:02:31.000
When Sam Roberts starts talking about fucking rowdy Roddy Piper or whatever the fuck it is, or even my buddy Tommy at the gym.
01:02:49.000
You know, Sam Roberts was actually, I think this might have been his first big show.
01:02:57.000
No, he's one of the guys that everybody hates now.
01:02:59.000
Like, as soon as he starts talking, everybody's like, boo!
01:03:12.000
It's like when Larry first was in the green room, Ryan and we're setting it up.
01:03:16.000
Ryan won't stop talking about his dream last night.
01:03:21.000
But he was talking about how you could remember dates.
01:03:23.000
And I was like, and he was like, because if the police ask you where you were.
01:03:26.000
And I was like, I literally had a dream that police were asking me where I was, and I couldn't do it.
01:03:30.000
So it was like a relative superpower that I just saw happening before my life.
01:03:34.000
The only time anyone should talk about their dreams is me, because they're interesting and they're always nightmares.
01:03:39.000
And I had a nightmare last night that I was in college and I'd missed like 40 classes and I didn't know.
01:03:48.000
I don't even know my schedule and I don't even know where to begin to find out what my schedule is.
01:03:53.000
And even when I do, I'm going to be like semesters behind.
01:03:56.000
And then I just think, I'm going to drop out of school.
01:04:17.000
So Don Lemon has this guy, Rick Wilson, on his show, a boomer rube.
01:04:26.000
And they reckon themselves sort of well-educated, upper class types.
01:04:33.000
The types who should tell you how to live your life.
01:04:35.000
Remember that teacher who said, let's be honest, the community isn't the, no, parents aren't the best thing for their kids.
01:04:45.000
He said, oh yeah, parents don't always know what's best for their kids.
01:04:52.000
And Don Lamont and Rick Wilson are these fucking con artists who are fucking retarded, but ironically, like to talk down To the rest of us, like we're stupid losers.
01:05:07.000
Kelly has a master's degree in European studies from Cambridge University.
01:05:12.000
Also, he doesn't really say that she couldn't identify Ukraine on a map.
01:05:16.000
He insinuates it's just a pet, it's just a petty attempt to put her down, right?
01:05:22.000
So I guess Trump said that someone can't find some super educated Cambridge woman couldn't find Ukraine on a map.
01:05:35.000
Once again, Trump, once again, Trump says something funny.
01:05:40.000
He has a quip and they say that was a really low pot shot.
01:05:46.000
Then they proceed to do exactly the same thing and giggle their little faggot heads off.
01:06:01.000
Like, oh, actually, there was no shower for the third row.
01:06:07.000
Larry Barnes was like when he got hit and all that sweat came out.
01:06:14.000
Like, it's, you might as well attack Larry Barnes for his sweat jokes.
01:06:23.000
The best anyone knows is that it's at the far east of Europe where things start getting shitty.
01:06:37.000
He's just trying to demean her, and obviously it's false.
01:06:40.000
And look, he also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it.
01:06:49.000
He knows that this is, you know, so that joke, right, which is possibly the funniest joke that's ever been said in the world, way funnier than Trump's throw a quip, is about to put Don Lamon into a laughing frenzy that doesn't end ever.
01:07:13.000
An administration defined by ignorance of the world.
01:07:16.000
And so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience, you know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump.
01:07:26.000
Isn't he so obviously someone who wants to pal around with the elites?
01:07:34.000
And the way you do that is you laugh at the non-elites, and it makes you feel like one of the in-crowd.
01:07:47.000
That wants to think that Donald Trump's a smart one and there.
01:07:58.000
With your geography and your maps and your spelling, Yeah, you're reading.
01:08:30.000
We'll decide how much food you get, how much taxes you pay.
01:08:34.000
Just stick to hunting hogs or whatever you fucking dumb pieces of human garbage do.
01:08:40.000
I'm fixing all my shit, like my car, my apartment.
01:08:43.000
When I think of you, I laugh my head off at what a loser you are.
01:08:47.000
Look, this is me thinking of you and your shitty life.
01:08:55.000
Oh, you don't even have an apartment in Manhattan.
01:09:11.000
Okay, I've flown first class to Paris and had some fucking weird foie gras with my boyfriend.
01:09:19.000
...photography, knowing other countries, sipping your latte.
01:09:28.000
Wouldn't you just love to give them a map of Europe and Russia?
01:09:33.000
Maybe even some of Asia and say, all right, here's a marker.
01:09:50.000
This reminds me, I had this friend, Steve, and his sister was handicapped.
01:09:56.000
And we used to, the way we would make her laugh is we would just talk about her laughing.
01:10:02.000
So we'd be watching TV and we'd say things like, what the fuck?
01:10:07.000
You're going to start brushing your teeth in the shower.
01:10:14.000
And then she would start riffing too, going, yeah, who cares about your stupid dog and his dog food?
01:10:36.000
And then Steve would go, and this is how it goes.
01:10:39.000
We just start winding her up and we just keep a winding and a wind.
01:10:43.000
Now she's like flat as a pancake, bawling her eyes out, laughing.
01:11:08.000
Ew, look at his stupid African Star Wars bar bullshit.
01:11:23.000
This is actually from a small village in Kenya where they recycle.
01:11:42.000
Could it be possible that the guy that he's laughing at isn't funny and it's kind of like that's why it's funny?
01:11:51.000
That's the only reason I could see maybe you find it funny.
01:11:53.000
No, he thinks that you and Crane is the funniest joke that's ever been uttered.
01:12:04.000
But in all honesty, you know what NPR should do?
