TNC Podcast: Episode Dos

On slate this week:

• Quick Oscar talk and my disapproval of denigrating celebrity attire…
• Michael Clarke Duncan and Neal McDonough’s inexplicable basketball “spat”…
• My terrible weekend on the court trying to get back in decent shape…
• Obligatory Tyler Perry hate-fest…
• The Octuplet mom is still in the news… why again…?

Also, as mentioned in the podcast, here’s the link for Ice Cube’s “Today Was a Good Day” video where he claims he got a triple double. Check out the shot at the 1:28 mark. Stories persist that Cube can actually ball, but I have trouble believing that. 

And what the hell, while we’re here, was that really how the gangstas played ball in L.A. back in the 90’s? Is that still how it is?  Was that a low-rider right there on the court? Was it legal to use a ‘64 Chevy as a screen? Was it necessary to hoop in the same gear you’re going to wear to somebody’s cookout later in the day to maintain OG status? Would it have killed you to throw on some Nike shorts and some Air Forces?

And… now we’re podcasting…

Why? Because, as I state in the audio, I like to talk dammit. Btw, in case you didn’t already know, I use profanity. Liberally…

So what am I talking about in there? The Chris Brown business (update: he finally a released a statement… I still say fuck him), which is under my skin just a bit. NBA All-Star weekend in all its sadness. The dismaying Friday the 13th numbers (42 mill? My Lord…), and the even more dismaying fact that the Madea character spawned by Tyler Perry is still alive and featuring in films. Then wrapped up with a quick opinion on the trailer for the new Tarantino flick, Inglorious Basterds.
