Transcript

00:00:00.000 Spike Lee just announced with ESPN that they're no longer doing Kaepernick's documentary.
00:00:05.020 I love it.
00:00:05.600 I don't know if you saw that or not.
00:00:06.600 And when they asked him, why are you not doing it?
00:00:08.820 He says, I signed a non-disclosure agreement or non-whatever it is that he can discuss it.
00:00:13.220 But also, you know, this weekend, I had a chance to go watch the latest movie that came up with Denzel and Spike Lee.
00:00:22.220 I think it's called Highest to Lowest.
00:00:23.620 The two of them have done a bunch of different things together.
00:00:25.520 I think Spike and Denzel did, what movie did they do together?
00:00:31.040 They did Malcolm X together.
00:00:33.920 And they did one other one together, four movies together.
00:00:36.640 I think this is the fifth one.
00:00:38.340 This is probably Denzel's worst movie I've ever seen in my life.
00:00:42.180 It was absolutely horrible.
00:00:45.340 It was so annoying watching the movie.
00:00:49.240 The end part of it, there's a scene that's a very good scene between him and the rapper,
00:00:53.500 where they're sitting, you know, in the studio, they're going back and forth.
00:00:56.700 That five-minute clip was great.
00:00:58.600 But this is probably Denzel's worst movie I've seen in my life with Spike Lee.
00:01:02.580 That took place.
00:01:05.080 I actually don't think it was Denzel's typical personality for him to act in a movie like this.
00:01:10.860 He's showing range, but it was hands down the worst movie I've ever seen Denzel do, ever do.
00:01:17.300 And so funny, this is one of them.
00:01:18.940 And the previous to this one was what?
00:01:20.600 The movie with...
00:01:21.640 Gladiator 2?
00:01:22.180 Gladiator 2, which was absolutely ridiculous.
00:01:25.280 Horrible.
00:01:25.520 I couldn't wait to walk out of that one.
00:01:28.080 And what's funny with Denzel is American Gangster, God knows how many times I've seen it.
00:01:33.340 John Q, I can't tell you how many times I've seen it.
00:01:36.040 Man on Fire, I can't tell you how many times I've seen it.
00:01:38.900 Training Day.
00:01:40.080 I'll go to a lot of different things.
00:01:41.660 Training Day.
00:01:43.020 Horrible.
00:01:44.060 Absolutely horrible, horrible movie.
00:01:47.040 Wait till it comes to VHS before you watch it.
00:01:51.340 And you know, I love that.
00:01:52.900 And you know, them not wanting to show it, because he said creative differences with ESPN.
00:01:58.500 Yeah, Kaepernick.
00:01:59.560 And because, you know, yeah, they were going to focus on, they wanted him just to focus on Kaepernick,
00:02:03.680 but he was going to expand it into race and politics.
00:02:06.160 Either way, America is tired of that racial, race-baiting BS that's trying to divide us.
00:02:11.780 It's like people have moved on.
00:02:13.620 It's over.
00:02:14.240 Okay, and I'm happy that it's not going to air.
00:02:16.360 And Kaepernick, it's like almost like every six months whenever Kaepernick wants to sell something,
00:02:20.720 he has to come back out and be like, hey, man, this country's racist.
00:02:24.220 Okay, get the hell out.
00:02:25.120 Get out.
00:02:25.560 Get out.
00:02:26.040 I'm tired of it.
00:02:26.680 I'm so happy it's not airing.
00:02:28.140 Gosh, I wonder if creative differences has anything to do at all with the NFL owning 10% of ESPN.
00:02:33.840 Maybe they didn't want their part of the film portrayed in a certain way.
00:02:38.620 Great point.
00:02:39.280 If you go back to it, and that's what I said, that's what I said.
00:02:44.960 However, having said that, maybe it's also saying we've got to get away from all this racist stuff that we keep insinuating.
00:02:52.900 The market just doesn't want to see it anymore.
00:02:55.680 And there's nobody that caused more chaos in sports than this guy.
00:02:59.560 You've got so much attention for it, but I'm kind of glad this project's not getting done.
00:03:03.580 Adam.
00:03:03.980 Well, black people love Donald Trump.
00:03:06.320 I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, and what we're starting to see is Trump doesn't care what you call him at this point.
00:03:12.300 He's immune to criticism.
00:03:14.280 You know, they call him the Teflon Don.
00:03:15.580 Real racist.
00:03:16.740 You're a president.
00:03:17.320 Yeah, right.
00:03:19.160 I love my blacks.
00:03:20.540 And we're starting to see everything change.
00:03:23.480 How many black people do you see online?
00:03:25.460 Thank you, Donald Trump.
00:03:26.880 Clean it up, D.C.
00:03:28.000 Come to Chicago.
00:03:29.320 Help us clean it up.
00:03:30.220 How many Latinos do we hear we see?
00:03:32.560 Yes.
00:03:33.140 Get some of these illegal people out of this country.
00:03:35.000 How often do we see people in California who's the most liberal state saying, we need more conservative policies?
00:03:40.660 How many gay people do we see all the time being like, dude, this T thing, this trans thing is out of control.
00:03:46.660 So we're going to see more of these people who you would typically never hear give Trump compliments, start to say, that's my guy.
00:03:53.640 And just really fast, guys, because I saw this, Rob, you might want to look it up.
00:03:57.400 The NFL is continuing to feature anti-racism and inspirational messages in the end zones for 2025.
00:04:04.820 Each of the 32 teams will display one of the four approved messages at their home games, which is end racism.
00:04:10.800 Yeah.
00:04:11.360 Stop hate.
00:04:12.880 Choose love or inspire change.
00:04:14.940 Well, I got to tell you, Vinny.
00:04:15.840 Great point.
00:04:16.360 I was super racist before I started reading those signs.
00:04:19.400 You have no idea.
00:04:20.360 And then they told me, end racism.
00:04:21.520 I said, yeah.
00:04:22.280 I had an idea.
00:04:23.180 And on top of that, the NFL this year added male cheerleaders.
00:04:26.740 I saw that.
00:04:27.480 Minnesota Vikings and Patriots.
00:04:29.960 Patriots.
00:04:30.480 A bunch of them added.
00:04:31.500 Adam's trying out at lunch.
00:04:32.840 No, I already made it.
00:04:33.240 I'm on the Dolphins.
00:04:34.260 So come check me out.
00:04:35.840 Yeah, right there.
00:04:35.860 NFL teams face backlash.
00:04:38.000 In Minnesota.
00:04:38.800 Zoom in a little bit, Rob.
00:04:39.680 Can you go to the next page?
00:04:41.560 So that's one.
00:04:42.600 Yes.
00:04:43.220 Yes.
00:04:43.720 Falcons.
00:04:44.180 Another one.
00:04:44.640 Keep going, Rob.
00:04:45.640 Just cheers.
00:04:46.500 So they're kind of doing what they're doing, and he comes in out of nowhere.
00:04:48.920 Don't tell me he's coming in.
00:04:50.300 Oh, my God.
00:04:51.180 Look at Adam.
00:04:51.740 Look at Adam.
00:04:52.380 Give me a D.
00:04:53.460 D.
00:04:54.180 Give me an I.
00:04:55.400 I.
00:04:55.940 Give me a C.
00:04:56.580 Every time you think the NFL is going back to normality, they do something like this.
00:05:03.180 Every single time.
00:05:03.580 This girl's pretty cute.
00:05:04.660 What's her deal?
00:05:05.180 They go back to this.
00:05:06.280 You think people are coming to the NFL to watch male cheerleaders?
00:05:10.520 No.
00:05:10.680 No.
00:05:11.180 That's why I go, Pat.
00:05:12.700 Do you think men who, like other men, are diehard fans of the NFL?
00:05:18.620 No.
00:05:19.100 Do you think they're coming and saying, I want to see male?
00:05:20.900 And if that's the case and you're targeting a 1%, what are you going to be doing next?
00:05:26.260 Who knows?
00:05:27.120 Look, there are some guys that you see that like NFL, but at the same time, that's not
00:05:32.200 the core.
00:05:32.620 What is this right here?
00:05:34.120 Oh, this is another one of those.
00:05:35.320 No, he's a trans cheerleader.
00:05:36.580 He's a trans.
00:05:37.560 Bro, if you ever go to college.
00:05:39.540 Look at this crotch.
00:05:40.260 It's hanging out.
00:05:40.920 What are we talking about?
00:05:41.860 Everything is hanging out for sure.
00:05:43.400 He could be playing football.
00:05:45.080 You ever go to college football games?
00:05:47.840 PBD.
00:05:48.480 Yeah.
00:05:48.920 You ever go to college football games?
00:05:50.080 You could do a 10 and out.
00:05:50.820 I have.
00:05:51.580 Okay.
00:05:51.920 So in college football games, they're actually male cheerleaders.
00:05:54.500 Yeah.
00:05:54.740 But here's the difference.
00:05:55.720 They're actually big, you know, strobing men.
00:05:57.860 And they're holding chicks.
00:05:58.460 And they're throwing girls up in the air and they're catching them.
00:06:01.460 They don't pretend to be the girls with the pom-poms.
00:06:04.560 No, we've had executives.
00:06:05.780 Come on, queen.
00:06:06.340 By the way, we've had executives and have executives who were male cheerleaders that hold the girls
00:06:12.000 and do all that stuff.
00:06:13.040 But they don't hold the pom-poms.
00:06:15.000 To go to this direction, to me, my opinion, I don't know, man.
00:06:19.060 Anyway.
00:06:19.540 I don't know.
00:06:20.260 I just bought season tickets to the Vikings.
00:06:22.280 Well, it makes sense.
00:06:23.740 There's a lot of things that's going on right now in the marketplace.
