Speaker 3 (04:38):
Love, Who's Your that's my five? That's my five? Where
are you on that? Not mad?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I think we got a handful of the same number one.
I'm not going in order, but this one is number
one because I know it's always and eternally will be.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
White Man can't jump.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
That's just if it's on, it's getting twenty five thirty
minutes out of me.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's just one of those great ones. I remember Gene
Hackman on Who's Your when he's yeah, what was that?
You remember? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He was the newspaper lu taal or whatever. He was
always hitting his hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, slow key. He
was in a handful of sports movie. You got that,
you got the replacements. He kind of played a few roles.
I got a sleeper rob g because it was a
pioneer ahead of his time, because they followed the family
around for like five years. Hoop Dreams, I mean that
(05:24):
came out in like ninety one ninety two. Blew my
mind as a young hoop fan and playing ball. Hoop
Dreams was if you haven't seen it, it's a documentary
that doesn't just do like a year or two. They
followed these going into ninth grade. Two players, one from
one side of the town in Chicago, one from another,
and they followed them their whole entire high school career
(05:44):
through like their first year college ball and just the ups,
the downs, family members, drugs issues in the streets of Chicago.
Hoop dreams. That is up there that might even remember that. Yeah,
that was incredible. Loving Basketball just a great movie, it
really is. And it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Recently.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Did you see they had uh Sinai l at the
USC game when the U c l A and they
had the honor because she played that character who went
to USC.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
That was really cool. It's all right, Love Basketball for real.
That was about cheating.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'm gonna play for your heart, I mean, okay, yeah, okay,
stay focused. The movie was two hours. Don't talk about
the last five minutes. Okay, don't give it away. Okay,
he got game, he got game. That's a good one.
Denzel played the mess out the role. Ray Allen tried
his best. Allen, was you know that was supposed to
(06:34):
be that was supposed to be Stephan Marbray. I believe
it was, was it?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Here supposed to be Kobe?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, I think it was Kobe first.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
You're right, Mike, He said, that that was bad for
his brand, so he didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Let's go come on, man, you you know, come on,
you could have did that and then we you know,
Ray Allen tried his best.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It wasn't like shooting three something he's great at. And
acting is not easy, no act like acting.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Is very let me tell y'all something as somebody who
moved to La with no job looking for anything, and
acting and commercials and all that. When they would say,
all right, just pretend you're eating a burger and you're
not eating anything, like literally just eating air, you never
felt more like an idiot just fake eating in it.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And I'm like, oh, this acting thing is hard, Like
I'm selling you on eating his burger.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm but I'm eating air. I'm like, man, this is no.
Acting is a whole new thing. But and lastly, hoo's yours.
That's my that's when that I'm not I will Me
and Robbie were saying it's really really good, but people
put it a little too high for me, like that
was the greatest not only basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I'll say it's the greatest sports movie all hold up.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
But people will be like, wouldn't they say Rudy or
anybody who say rudy, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I know, but I'm just saying it look like you
would say, Rudy. Are you into the rudy because we're.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Short, Cause every now and again you make me mad
when you say something. All right, Rob, are you on
the on the movie?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Well again, if Omar is in it, I'm in yeah,
loving basketball, of course, Yes, that's stuff you guys making
a lot of the white man can't jump up. He
got game above the rim to me, are number top three.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And then we'll figure out that I was gonna bring
up that's what Blue Chips was one I had that
I was gonna mention.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I was I was gonna be in that movie is
gonna be called Chocolate Chips. But that's another stock.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
You took the same joke, and he's smunty as something else.
You're not fooling me, Rob Parker. I am familiar with
your game. But then there's other like their basketball is
probably the only sport where there's a full catalog of
sports movies for whatever mood you're in. If you want
(08:35):
a serious movie, you got right, coach Coach Carter. You
want to you know, you want a dramatic thing and
then there's just like the slapstick comedy that works. And
then two of them for me that I really enjoy, uh,
the Sixth Man starring Marlon Ways where his brother dies.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm about to drop one of them.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
And then and then another one, which is weird to
say as a Lakers fan with Celtic Pride with Damon
Wayns and he plays for the Jazz, a black star
for the Jazz.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
By the way, I don't know who legitimately are black.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Wayns brothers and Damien Wayne, Damon Wayns, Marlon way those
ones are like the off the wall court. He's not
to be taking seriously. I think Hoosia just got dropped
from my list? How did you drop in Hoosiers?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Really? When I tell you for what you really? I
could do that?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Gene Hack just he got yeah, IM gonna let him live.
Then fine, he got game. I get kicked off. You
know what it might robs semi pro See that's another
one freaking hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But isn't that I always think of that as what
was it called for the football?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Why am I thinking of the hardest as long as Yeah?
But isn't that is this semi prot no replacements?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
That's another Gene Hackman movie. Gene Hackman giving Omar a
run for his money.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
All sports movies. Wait wait, wait, wait wait, No, that's
Kevin cost He's the king. Kevin Costner too, He's the
king of sports movies. The reason why semi pro.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'm in semi pro. No, you're not a true story.
Well on my mama, on my hood, like you see
the back of his head.
Speaker 1 (10:12):

the based on.
Speaker 4 (10:16):

Hey, what's going on. Thanks Taking the Call. Hustle is
a solid movie with Adam Sandler that usso lebron uh
collaboration with Lebron's media companies. But the greatest basketball film
of all time has to be Hoop Dreams, two kids
from Chicago, following them for four years. Roger Ebers said,
best film of the nineties, and it should give you, you know,
(16:32):
people an understanding wasn't even nominated for an Oscar, right,
one of these timeless films that doesn't get the recognition
early on. But Hoop Dreams to that. It just tells
the stories of this coming of age, you know, and
what basketball means. But then just the entire journey. You know,
these guys are now in their thirties and forties and
they still kind of.

goes to play the college and he doesn't do so good.
They want to they want to kick him off the team,
so they beat him up trying to force the scholarship.

biggest games and wins for him and basically and then

the you know, the guy with the fundamentals and you know, uh,
weds is like the show off, you know, the showtime
tin guys, So Yeah, it's my favorite. But Rob, you

Kerry Watson was there.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I covered with Sean Phillips, who was a three point specialist.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
He was AI of the Detroit and that was probably
the worst thing that he never got. You know what,
Kobe Bryant called him.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Kobe Bryant said, because I had a chance obviously, as
you know, an interview with Sean and blah blah blah.
Kobe Bryant said, he's the best player to never make
the NBA. Kobe Bryant said that that's Rashon Phillips looking
like he's probably five nine. He shorted me, I'm five
tennis whatever. But he was supposed to be drafted and
it didn't happen. Yeah, he was too early. Like now,
because of the game and threes and spacing and all
(21:35):
that they would he would have been a top twelve
pick for sure. But back then with all the big guards,
all the big you know forwards and wingman Rashon Phillips.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
If you don't know who that is, he was there
from like Sean Seawan's is a front of the show.
He's been on. Han't been on? Yeah he been he
was doing this thing with Fox I know for Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he's he's been on the He comes on.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Every draft season.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Okay. Nice. If you don't know him, look him up.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
He was there from like probably ninety seven to two thousand,
is Sean Fuller was nice?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Used to be like Allen Iverson of U A. D.
All Right Company line Fortireck dot Com studios. How many
total Monzi the step half fifty twelve threes and fifty
four points.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Man, it's not on, so I never know. Yeah, fifty
six points and twelve threes. Fifty six and twelve threes
he is doing the regular season. There's money, he's money.
I'm gonna just keep teeing him up. What these six
point nice big night buster. Jimmy Butler has five points?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
N Dang, Jimmy met me in the middle, like, let
me have thirty and you have twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I so often steps gonna have these kind of nights.
You know that they lost it by forty at home too. Yeah,
but every now I got Jimmy, I played that Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It's different, not that they're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
They're a different team.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I mean, listen, I said, I don't think they're gonna
win anything like Jerrymond says.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But adding a Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Was five games. If they lose for in a row,
than what then what would you say? Jimmy Butler doesn't
doesn't make it. No, he's a he's a very good player.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But it fits into their system. Yes, but I still
don't think that they're that that good. I'm not going
to win, That's what I'm saying. But they're better than
they were.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Okay, absolutely, but the guy they got rid of, right,
and Wiggins is a guy helped him win their last championship.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But he just says.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Because remember last year, personal stuff and he missed time
and maybe that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
But I'm just saying Wiggins. Without Wiggins, they don't win that.
Oh that's without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
He played his best ball, that's all I'm Defensively, hes
become a really good defender when you're kind of worried
about that. In the beginning one one one fifteen they
beat the Magic, they were down like double.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, it was early NBA. It was early Yeah. Let
me keep going. Watch his mind keep going. He's gona
keep finding the way people.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yeah, I mean the Warriors were down big, and you
know they just said.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
What it was in the third quarter. You know, I've
been covering the NBA since. Yes, I've heard, I've heard,
and I've seen these games.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Right here lies the n b A. You know, I
had a show with Rob for many years and he
was a good friend. And I don't know if y'all
knew this about Rob. The whole entire feuederal is gonna go.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
The whole funeral.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
I was gonna say that I told you we need
a T shirt. You no, no, no, that has to
happen for you at this point. Matter of fact, our
listeners would appreciate that. They would like, once or whatever,
we should do some type of contest and give out
T shirts like that. The league since nineteen what happened
the league?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Rob? G do we have swag and stuff?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
And I know we're in national so it was like
a local small station, do we go swag there?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Used to be.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
When I first started, they had a bad actual whole
price closet.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Why did you have that? Was crazy thought that. No,
But I'm just saying I've been here for eight years.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
I haven't seen any think man, that recession about you know,
set us back.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Except that money has to go to Rob G's raises.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I mean, you know that's he finally Robs I figured
out what that money with that money?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
You know.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
You know what's funny is I remember asking for a
raise one time and Rob's like, yeah, you definitely should.
It's be a good time for you to ask for one.
And I didn't, like, he's not in the budget, we
can't give it to you right now. Rob had just
gotten a raise on his contract like a week before.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
You're talking about Rob.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Because Robin's help with all his workday stuff. So you
see everything. And then Rob's like, well, you know what,
he's tough out there. You know they don't really got money.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
That's cool, that's wowed everything.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
But yeah, did you see this, Okay my increase it
first of all, let me all right, let's walk through
this though, Rob gee, I got a buddy of mine.
You know him very well, Rob, you mentored him you
know what I'm talking about. And he really frustrated me
once because he had he had a really good career.
And he mentioned once that he never negotiated ever, like
(25:56):
they would say, hey, everything's going to hire you. Here's
they're paying. He was like, yeah, sold, because it was
just scared of you know, I don't want to rock
the boat. I don't want to make a mad and
he never negotiated. That was like asinine to me, like
are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Me?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Said that to say, robb G did you just take
the l and I did you? You try to worry?
Did you brex bless? Why you deserve? I tried whatever
leverage I thought.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I had, and.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I'll put in a word for you. I was all right, well,
I'm sure because people less man, people be scared. Let
me tell you something. If you're listening right now, standing
for yourself.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Okay, don't be telling people. Be careful now.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
You know we talked about don't go in bigger than
what is it briches or whatever the.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
G there people who go in like yo, Like no,
I'm not saying you. People say that, I'm so sorry.
Can you turn in your key and clean and your laptop?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
You know and stories like that.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
No No, that's because they went in with aultimatum. I
can't do that if you don't give me this. I'm
a lead trying to play chicken with the no no no.
I'm simply saying, come in, you say, hey, I'm you know,
just working on this and your review whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
By the way, I believe you present why you believe it.
You tell them what you think.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I'm kind of seeing the industry raiders around this and
they'll say yeah, they'll say no, but don't be scared,
as I'm not saying kick in the door and be.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Like all right, right, I'm leaving because saying bye bye. Yes,
you gotta be careful with that. But but there's no
reason that you can't ask for a raise.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
But you shocking when people scared. I never thought of that.
I just I don't want to bother them. I don't
want to companies, by the way, they have stuff like
all right, if everybody gets to raise, or here's the budget,
like they prepare for stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
But if you don't ask, we ain't gonna give it
to you.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So anyway, I just thought that I thought that dropped
that little knowledge on somebody, you know, I get a
fifty six percent raise, cut into the car, ye back, yeah,
keep talking about.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Twelve threes, you might get a twelve percent.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
You know, nine years ago he hit what many are
calling the greatest shot of his career.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
That was that.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Okay, see right, okay, see where Yeah that was the
that was nine years ago.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
God time is on crack speed. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
But that was why I remember watching that live on
a phone because I was helping a friend move, which,
by the way, we all agree after.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
What age you don't help anybody move?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
About thirty thirty is like you just don't help anybody
move again, Like, don't, I'll give you the money to
help with the movers.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Mancey, Hold up, turn Michael, what did you say, Moncey,
don't offer me pizza to come help your exactly, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I'll give you money.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
I will literally help you with movers. I would say, here,
I can't do this anymore. When I was in my twenties,
do you have any people I helped move? It was insane.
I should have started two men in a truck. It
could have been me, could.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Have been me.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
But after that, you don't call me. No, I'm not
I can't do it? Ye, when's the last time you
help somebody move?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Never? Wait? Never?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Bro Like, wait, how did you pull off sixty some
ideas and never help somebody move?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Seriously? I just want you know I was busy. I
always had stuff to do. I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
No, but I'm serious, Like I might have stopped by
and moved a couple but like like a day, Hey,
can you help me move?
Speaker 4 (29:06):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
And I've never asked anybody to do it for me?
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox?
Speaker 4 (29:12):
Have you ever you've never Is there anybody else who
has never helped a friend move?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Especially a guy you've never helped? That's the last call
right there.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I need to find somebody else who has never helped,
especially you. You know a lot of You're not like some
lone or weird old by her heavy friends.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
How'd you pull that off? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I never nobody asked. She never calls you hey, and no,
no thing.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
If you free, I'll help you pay for it. I'll
help you pay for it. You that is a man.
I literally at one point was like I might as well.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
This is this is the I think I might have
said this before in the radio and It's true. When
I was like in high school and I had a job,
I used to pay one of my friends to cut
the lawyer to do my chores because he had an
electric mower and we had to push mower right right,
and I had to work. I got a job and
(30:04):
I had money, and I would say to my mom,
what do you care who's cutting the law the grass
get cut?
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Did any money come out of your pocket?
Speaker 6 (30:13):
No?
Speaker 3 (30:13):
So what like? And some of the parents in the neighborhood, though,
I was so ghost like.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Like he's too he's paying other kids to do his work.
And I'm like, what's the big deal? How old were
you sixteen? Yeah, they're trying to tie They're trying to
show you.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
I don't want to do a pushbow one. What if
I said, if I had an electric.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Mobil, I would have done it your time.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That is labor and I have a job, right, No,
I would.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
No.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I'm not mad at it's ingenious in fact, but I
think people people people don't like when you pull a
fast like, oh, the point of this was twofold one.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
The grass got cut. Chores and you're earning.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It, and you're working hard and you're learning morals and
work ethic and all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And I'm paying somebody.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
How dare you go above me and do something like that?
You mother, love of you? Yeah, people don't like that,
all right?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Last call? And I was kind of serious.

Rob Parker, never helped anybody move, I am interested to

Speaker 4 (34:41):
Above the Rim soundtrack was crazy. Yeah you had that?

some snoop and dre early on that. Yeah to the above,
the Rim soundtrack was pretty dope.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, Above the.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Rim For me, I mean, man, Tupac, you know what
I think about to you guys would appreciate this. Sometimes
we forget Tupac was twenty five when he died. Dude
had like, you know, ten movies under his belt, like seven, eight, nine,
ten albums because obviously more albums came out than being
(35:13):
shot a couple of times and went to prison like
he lived the insane life, like five people's lives.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
At the age of twenty five.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I could still remember and I'm just this is just
when when he died, and I'm laughing because of the
people at work who didn't know anything about him and
all that, and then they started they were, oh, that's
so terrible, what happened to Tupac and you know, stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
And I used to be like, what, yeah, that happened,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
So current one living here in Los Angeles was Nipsey
Hustle and shout out to our old boss over as Spectrum.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I called him that night and I.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Said, hey man, I thought Nipsey rustle and Dad, I said, no, no, no, hustle, hustle, hustle, boss, listen.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I told him.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I said, hey man, this is being I know, I know,
I know, I know. He was like, I know, you know,
some money passed. I said no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no no, And I said this is going to
be huge. Inverbated my next words. And I can't even believe.
I said it was blasphemous. I had an outer body experience.
I said, don't say it. Kelvin don't say it. I said, man,
this is gonna be like Tupac's passing, and he was like, no, no, no.
His point was like Tupac was huge everyone. I said, dude,
(36:17):
it's not that Nipsey was big as Tupac. It's that
he happened in LA and also social media. This is
the first time you know, we have like you can
enhance or make things bigger in real time because of
social media and lo and behold.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It was huge.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
And that ended up being a massive thing for Spectrum
News one out here in LA because the way we
covered it for like months or months as far as
really just showing off stuff he was doing in the community,
what he meant to La, giving his life. But yes,
there are a lot of people You're right right, I
had to educate on that riot. That's what man, He's
just this young rapper young.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
That's what I remember about Tupac is that so yeah,
I repeat all of them.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Man, Yes, that was fun though. That was fun.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Going over to the basketball list, I would recommend Hoop
Dreams for those of you, you know, maybe a little younger.
You didn't get a chance. It came out so longer.
It was like ninety one ninety two Who Dreams an
amazing documentary. So I would recommend that one and also
recommend more recent Hustle if you haven't had a chance.
I think it's on Netflix. Yeah, that's like Adam Sandler,
that deal he has with Netflix. Uh, Hustle and Robb

Speaker 5 (01:58):
It was terrible news of us. Woke up to it
this morning.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
And we're not gonna get into the semantics and the
details of the investigation, because as this goes on further
and further, it's getting more and more murky.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
So we're not gonna wry about that right now.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
But Gene Hackman, legendary actor, and his wife and their dog,
actually we're we're all found dead today in their New
Mexico home.
Speaker 5 (02:18):

What sa Rob? G real quick? It was ninety five,
Like really ninety five? You should die of natural causes?
That ninety four?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
That well, that's the thing, Rob at Firks. People were saying,
no file playing and then.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
They thought it was a carbon and another thing suspicious
activities on. Yes, so let's focus on where we're going
in the positive part. Gene Hackman hits after hits after
hits in his career as an actor, including what many
believe actually is the greatest basketball movie Vie of all time,
(03:00):
Hoosiers Love in Basketball.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Also, that's gonna lead to this discussion.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I said a black movie. Are you ready? Calvin almost
fell out of the ship. Honestly, I was like, Rob,
Rob just said that.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
I said that we got Hoosiers on the mind. But
Rob Parker, you may have given it away already. Give
us either number one your favorite or what do you
think is the best basket movie all time? And if
you got more, we'll take the top five as well.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Rob, Yeah, I can top five. There is a correct
answer to this, by the way.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Let me see, Well, well I did say I did
say Loving Basketball, right, I really like that movie. So
you're real, these aren't in rankings. It's just I have
it on my list. It's on my list. I know
it's on Rob G's list. Definitely it you with it.
That's right, white men can't jump, that's number one. That's
(03:51):
another one, Rob G.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
That's right. That's a good one right there.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
That that's the most fun. That just makes me happy,
Like that's a great Did you.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Guys see the reboot with Jack on it? Wow? Then
that you said, I said, I'm straight.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Wesley Snipe's rolling around and you know my theory, Walter
Harrelson roll around and number.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Uh Coach Carter.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, Coach Carter's a lot of I'm not it's not
on my list, but people people like that.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's not on my list. I wonder is a fish
the fish? Who say Pittsburgh? Is that not? Yeah? That
can be on your list. That's what that is on
my list? Doctor J. Yes, I don't know. So what
do I have? There? Is that four? So you got three?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well it's Coach Carter on the list or you just
name you were just yeah, that's one of them.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yes, and then that's four.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You got white man can't jump, Coach Carter, don't have
Hoo'sia love it?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Love, Who's Your that's my five? That's my five? Where
are you on that? Not mad?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I think we got a handful of the same number one.
I'm not going in order, but this one is number
one because I know it's always and eternally will be.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
White Man can't jump.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
That's just if it's on, it's getting twenty five thirty
minutes out of me.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's just one of those great ones. I remember Gene
Hackman on Who's Your when he's yeah, what was that?
You remember? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
He was the newspaper lu taal or whatever. He was
always hitting his hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, slow key. He
was in a handful of sports movie. You got that,
you got the replacements. He kind of played a few roles.
I got a sleeper rob g because it was a
pioneer ahead of his time, because they followed the family
around for like five years. Hoop Dreams, I mean that
(05:24):
came out in like ninety one ninety two. Blew my
mind as a young hoop fan and playing ball. Hoop
Dreams was if you haven't seen it, it's a documentary
that doesn't just do like a year or two. They
followed these going into ninth grade. Two players, one from
one side of the town in Chicago, one from another,
and they followed them their whole entire high school career
(05:44):
through like their first year college ball and just the ups,
the downs, family members, drugs issues in the streets of Chicago.
Hoop dreams. That is up there that might even remember that. Yeah,
that was incredible. Loving Basketball just a great movie, it
really is. And it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Recently.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Did you see they had uh Sinai l at the
USC game when the U c l A and they
had the honor because she played that character who went
to USC.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
That was really cool. It's all right, Love Basketball for real.
That was about cheating.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I'm gonna play for your heart, I mean, okay, yeah, okay,
stay focused. The movie was two hours. Don't talk about
the last five minutes. Okay, don't give it away. Okay,
he got game, he got game. That's a good one.
Denzel played the mess out the role. Ray Allen tried
his best. Allen, was you know that was supposed to
(06:34):
be that was supposed to be Stephan Marbray. I believe
it was, was it?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
Here supposed to be Kobe?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
No, I think it was Kobe first.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
You're right, Mike, He said, that that was bad for
his brand, so he didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Let's go come on, man, you you know, come on,
you could have did that and then we you know,
Ray Allen tried his best.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It wasn't like shooting three something he's great at. And
acting is not easy, no act like acting.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Is very let me tell y'all something as somebody who
moved to La with no job looking for anything, and
acting and commercials and all that. When they would say,
all right, just pretend you're eating a burger and you're
not eating anything, like literally just eating air, you never
felt more like an idiot just fake eating in it.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
And I'm like, oh, this acting thing is hard, Like
I'm selling you on eating his burger.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm but I'm eating air. I'm like, man, this is no.
Acting is a whole new thing. But and lastly, hoo's yours.
That's my that's when that I'm not I will Me
and Robbie were saying it's really really good, but people
put it a little too high for me, like that
was the greatest not only basketball.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I'll say it's the greatest sports movie all hold up.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
But people will be like, wouldn't they say Rudy or
anybody who say rudy, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I know, but I'm just saying it look like you
would say, Rudy. Are you into the rudy because we're.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Short, Cause every now and again you make me mad
when you say something. All right, Rob, are you on
the on the movie?
Speaker 6 (07:50):
Well again, if Omar is in it, I'm in yeah,
loving basketball, of course, Yes, that's stuff you guys making
a lot of the white man can't jump up. He
got game above the rim to me, are number top three.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And then we'll figure out that I was gonna bring
up that's what Blue Chips was one I had that
I was gonna mention.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I was I was gonna be in that movie is
gonna be called Chocolate Chips. But that's another stock.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
You took the same joke, and he's smunty as something else.
You're not fooling me, Rob Parker. I am familiar with
your game. But then there's other like their basketball is
probably the only sport where there's a full catalog of
sports movies for whatever mood you're in. If you want
(08:35):
a serious movie, you got right, coach Coach Carter. You
want to you know, you want a dramatic thing and
then there's just like the slapstick comedy that works. And
then two of them for me that I really enjoy, uh,
the Sixth Man starring Marlon Ways where his brother dies.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I'm about to drop one of them.
Speaker 6 (08:57):
And then and then another one, which is weird to
say as a Lakers fan with Celtic Pride with Damon
Wayns and he plays for the Jazz, a black star
for the Jazz.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
By the way, I don't know who legitimately are black.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Wayns brothers and Damien Wayne, Damon Wayns, Marlon way those
ones are like the off the wall court. He's not
to be taking seriously. I think Hoosia just got dropped
from my list? How did you drop in Hoosiers?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Really? When I tell you for what you really? I
could do that?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Gene Hack just he got yeah, IM gonna let him live.
Then fine, he got game. I get kicked off. You
know what it might robs semi pro See that's another
one freaking hilarious.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But isn't that I always think of that as what
was it called for the football?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Why am I thinking of the hardest as long as Yeah?
But isn't that is this semi prot no replacements?
Speaker 6 (09:47):
That's another Gene Hackman movie. Gene Hackman giving Omar a
run for his money.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
All sports movies. Wait wait, wait, wait wait, No, that's
Kevin cost He's the king. Kevin Costner too, He's the
king of sports movies. The reason why semi pro.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'm in semi pro. No, you're not a true story.
Well on my mama, on my hood, like you see
the back of his head.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, somebody dropped a somebody got up the quarter and
the based on.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Flint, Michigan. Where was I doing radio Flint, Michigan. They
put the word out, we need a bunch of extras.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
You would know they shot it down at it was

an extra, got the whole little snacks and they call

gold curly afro. They gave you your little some planic

pay you that day in cash? Yeah, they know they
made it. They gave us a check, got a sidecard

Speaker 4 (11:14):
I didn't have it then I didn't. I got that

Hey, what's going on. Thanks Taking the Call. Hustle is
a solid movie with Adam Sandler that usso lebron uh
collaboration with Lebron's media companies. But the greatest basketball film
of all time has to be Hoop Dreams, two kids
from Chicago, following them for four years. Roger Ebers said,
best film of the nineties, and it should give you, you know,
(16:32):
people an understanding wasn't even nominated for an Oscar, right,
one of these timeless films that doesn't get the recognition
early on. But Hoop Dreams to that. It just tells
the stories of this coming of age, you know, and
what basketball means. But then just the entire journey. You know,
these guys are now in their thirties and forties and
they still kind of.

biggest games and wins for him and basically and then

the you know, the guy with the fundamentals and you know, uh,
weds is like the show off, you know, the showtime
tin guys, So Yeah, it's my favorite. But Rob, you

that they would he would have been a top twelve
pick for sure. But back then with all the big guards,
all the big you know forwards and wingman Rashon Phillips.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
If you don't know who that is, he was there
from like Sean Seawan's is a front of the show.
He's been on. Han't been on? Yeah he been he
was doing this thing with Fox I know for Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 5 (21:56):

Speaker 4 (21:59):
He was there from like probably ninety seven to two thousand,
is Sean Fuller was nice?
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Used to be like Allen Iverson of U A. D.
All Right Company line Fortireck dot Com studios. How many
total Monzi the step half fifty twelve threes and fifty
four points.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Man, it's not on, so I never know. Yeah, fifty
six points and twelve threes. Fifty six and twelve threes
he is doing the regular season. There's money, he's money.
I'm gonna just keep teeing him up. What these six
point nice big night buster. Jimmy Butler has five points?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
N Dang, Jimmy met me in the middle, like, let
me have thirty and you have twenty.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I so often steps gonna have these kind of nights.
You know that they lost it by forty at home too. Yeah,
but every now I got Jimmy, I played that Jimmy.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It's different, not that they're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
They're a different team.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
I mean, listen, I said, I don't think they're gonna
win anything like Jerrymond says.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But adding a Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Was five games. If they lose for in a row,
than what then what would you say? Jimmy Butler doesn't
doesn't make it. No, he's a he's a very good player.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But it fits into their system. Yes, but I still
don't think that they're that that good. I'm not going
to win, That's what I'm saying. But they're better than
they were.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Okay, absolutely, but the guy they got rid of, right,
and Wiggins is a guy helped him win their last championship.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
But he just says.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Because remember last year, personal stuff and he missed time
and maybe that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
But I'm just saying Wiggins. Without Wiggins, they don't win that.
Oh that's without a doubt.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
He played his best ball, that's all I'm Defensively, hes
become a really good defender when you're kind of worried
about that. In the beginning one one one fifteen they
beat the Magic, they were down like double.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, it was early NBA. It was early Yeah. Let
me keep going. Watch his mind keep going. He's gona
keep finding the way people.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Yeah, I mean the Warriors were down big, and you
know they just said.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
What it was in the third quarter. You know, I've
been covering the NBA since. Yes, I've heard, I've heard,
and I've seen these games.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Right here lies the n b A. You know, I
had a show with Rob for many years and he
was a good friend. And I don't know if y'all
knew this about Rob. The whole entire feuederal is gonna go.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
The whole funeral.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
I was gonna say that I told you we need
a T shirt. You no, no, no, that has to
happen for you at this point. Matter of fact, our
listeners would appreciate that. They would like, once or whatever,
we should do some type of contest and give out
T shirts like that. The league since nineteen what happened
the league?
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Rob? G do we have swag and stuff?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
And I know we're in national so it was like
a local small station, do we go swag there?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Used to be.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
When I first started, they had a bad actual whole
price closet.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Why did you have that? Was crazy thought that. No,
But I'm just saying I've been here for eight years.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
I haven't seen any think man, that recession about you know,
set us back.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Except that money has to go to Rob G's raises.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
I mean, you know that's he finally Robs I figured
out what that money with that money?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
You know.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
You know what's funny is I remember asking for a
raise one time and Rob's like, yeah, you definitely should.
It's be a good time for you to ask for one.
And I didn't, like, he's not in the budget, we
can't give it to you right now. Rob had just
gotten a raise on his contract like a week before.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
You're talking about Rob.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
Because Robin's help with all his workday stuff. So you
see everything. And then Rob's like, well, you know what,
he's tough out there. You know they don't really got money.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
That's cool, that's wowed everything.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
But yeah, did you see this, Okay my increase it
first of all, let me all right, let's walk through
this though, Rob gee, I got a buddy of mine.
You know him very well, Rob, you mentored him you
know what I'm talking about. And he really frustrated me
once because he had he had a really good career.
And he mentioned once that he never negotiated ever, like
(25:56):
they would say, hey, everything's going to hire you. Here's
they're paying. He was like, yeah, sold, because it was
just scared of you know, I don't want to rock
the boat. I don't want to make a mad and
he never negotiated. That was like asinine to me, like
are you kidding?
Speaker 8 (26:06):
Me?
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Said that to say, robb G did you just take
the l and I did you? You try to worry?
Did you brex bless? Why you deserve? I tried whatever
leverage I thought.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I had, and.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
I'll put in a word for you. I was all right, well,
I'm sure because people less man, people be scared. Let
me tell you something. If you're listening right now, standing
for yourself.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Okay, don't be telling people. Be careful now.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
You know we talked about don't go in bigger than
what is it briches or whatever the.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
G there people who go in like yo, Like no,
I'm not saying you. People say that, I'm so sorry.
Can you turn in your key and clean and your laptop?
Speaker 5 (26:47):
You know and stories like that.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
No No, that's because they went in with aultimatum. I
can't do that if you don't give me this. I'm
a lead trying to play chicken with the no no no.
I'm simply saying, come in, you say, hey, I'm you know,
just working on this and your review whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
By the way, I believe you present why you believe it.
You tell them what you think.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
I'm kind of seeing the industry raiders around this and
they'll say yeah, they'll say no, but don't be scared,
as I'm not saying kick in the door and be.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Like all right, right, I'm leaving because saying bye bye. Yes,
you gotta be careful with that. But but there's no
reason that you can't ask for a raise.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
But you shocking when people scared. I never thought of that.
I just I don't want to bother them. I don't
want to companies, by the way, they have stuff like
all right, if everybody gets to raise, or here's the budget,
like they prepare for stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
But if you don't ask, we ain't gonna give it
to you.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
So anyway, I just thought that I thought that dropped
that little knowledge on somebody, you know, I get a
fifty six percent raise, cut into the car, ye back, yeah,
keep talking about.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Twelve threes, you might get a twelve percent.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
You know, nine years ago he hit what many are
calling the greatest shot of his career.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
That was that.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Okay, see right, okay, see where Yeah that was the
that was nine years ago.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
God time is on crack speed. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
But that was why I remember watching that live on
a phone because I was helping a friend move, which,
by the way, we all agree after.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
What age you don't help anybody move?
Speaker 4 (28:11):
About thirty thirty is like you just don't help anybody
move again, Like, don't, I'll give you the money to
help with the movers.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Mancey, Hold up, turn Michael, what did you say, Moncey,
don't offer me pizza to come help your exactly, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I'll give you money.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
I will literally help you with movers. I would say, here,
I can't do this anymore. When I was in my twenties,
do you have any people I helped move? It was insane.
I should have started two men in a truck. It
could have been me, could.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Have been me.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
But after that, you don't call me. No, I'm not
I can't do it? Ye, when's the last time you
help somebody move?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Never? Wait? Never?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Bro Like, wait, how did you pull off sixty some
ideas and never help somebody move?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Seriously? I just want you know I was busy. I
always had stuff to do. I'm busy.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
No, but I'm serious, Like I might have stopped by
and moved a couple but like like a day, Hey,

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Especially a guy you've never helped? That's the last call
right there.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I need to find somebody else who has never helped,
especially you. You know a lot of You're not like some
lone or weird old by her heavy friends.
Speaker 3 (29:27):

no thing.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
If you free, I'll help you pay for it. I'll
help you pay for it. You that is a man.
I literally at one point was like I might as well.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
This is this is the I think I might have
said this before in the radio and It's true. When
I was like in high school and I had a job,
I used to pay one of my friends to cut
the lawyer to do my chores because he had an
electric mower and we had to push mower right right,
and I had to work. I got a job and
(30:04):
I had money, and I would say to my mom,
what do you care who's cutting the law the grass
get cut?

you sixteen? Yeah, they're trying to tie They're trying to
show you.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
I don't want to do a pushbow one. What if
I said, if I had an electric.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Mobil, I would have done it your time.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
That is labor and I have a job, right, No,
I would.
Speaker 9 (30:42):
No.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I'm not mad at it's ingenious in fact, but I
think people people people don't like when you pull a
fast like, oh, the point of this was twofold one.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
The grass got cut. Chores and you're earning.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It, and you're working hard and you're learning morals and
work ethic and all that good stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
And I'm paying somebody.

You mother, love of you? Yeah, people don't like that,
all right?

Did you like Hoosiers?
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I likes a classic.
Speaker 9 (34:31):

Gene Hackman, he's a brilliant actor.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, thank you, buddy.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Above the Rim soundtrack was crazy. Yeah you had that?
Was you Tupac all over it. I think you had
some snoop and dre early on that. Yeah to the above,
the Rim soundtrack was pretty dope.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Yeah, Above the.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Rim For me, I mean, man, Tupac, you know what
I think about to you guys would appreciate this. Sometimes
we forget Tupac was twenty five when he died. Dude
had like, you know, ten movies under his belt, like seven, eight, nine,
ten albums because obviously more albums came out than being
(35:13):
shot a couple of times and went to prison like
he lived the insane life, like five people's lives.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
At the age of twenty five.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I could still remember and I'm just this is just
when when he died, and I'm laughing because of the
people at work who didn't know anything about him and
all that, and then they started they were, oh, that's
so terrible, what happened to Tupac and you know, stuff
like that.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
And I used to be like, what, yeah, that happened,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
So current one living here in Los Angeles was Nipsey
Hustle and shout out to our old boss over as Spectrum.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I called him that night and I.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Said, hey man, I thought Nipsey rustle and Dad, I said, no, no, no, hustle, hustle, hustle, boss, listen.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
I told him.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
I said, hey man, this is being I know, I know,
I know, I know. He was like, I know, you know,
some money passed. I said no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no no, And I said this is going to
be huge. Inverbated my next words. And I can't even believe.
I said it was blasphemous. I had an outer body experience.
I said, don't say it. Kelvin don't say it. I said, man,
this is gonna be like Tupac's passing, and he was like, no, no, no.
His point was like Tupac was huge everyone. I said, dude,
(36:17):
it's not that Nipsey was big as Tupac. It's that
he happened in LA and also social media. This is
the first time you know, we have like you can
enhance or make things bigger in real time because of
social media and lo and behold.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
It was huge.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
And that ended up being a massive thing for Spectrum
News one out here in LA because the way we
covered it for like months or months as far as
really just showing off stuff he was doing in the community,
what he meant to La, giving his life. But yes,
there are a lot of people You're right right, I
had to educate on that riot. That's what man, He's
just this young rapper young.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
That's what I remember about Tupac is that so yeah,
I repeat all of them.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Man, Yes, that was fun though. That was fun.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Going over to the basketball list, I would recommend Hoop
Dreams for those of you, you know, maybe a little younger.
You didn't get a chance. It came out so longer.
It was like ninety one ninety two Who Dreams an
amazing documentary. So I would recommend that one and also
recommend more recent Hustle if you haven't had a chance.
I think it's on Netflix. Yeah, that's like Adam Sandler,
that deal he has with Netflix. Uh, Hustle and Robb
(37:15):
