In 2009, just days after Rihanna and her then boyfriend, pop star Chris Brown, were photographed seated next to each other smiling, this image was leaked to the public. In the early morning hours of February 8th, 2009, Chris Brown and Rihanna left Clyde Davis' annual pre-Grammy party.

According to police reports, while driving home, the two got into a heated argument, which escalated into a vicious and violent attack.

That is really powerful.

So to go back to last year, to the first year in the league, Caitlyn Clark came out, you know, both together. But she came out with, with all the media attention. She was the spotlight because of the way she played in college. And she's really redefined the game much in a way that Steph Curry did to the WN, to the NBA.

Right. It's just changed the game. And, and Caitlin Clark is doing things out there that no one really has been able to do in the WNBA. I mean, She hits three pointers from the logo, you know, close to half court, just plays a beautiful fluid game. There's a jealousy aspect. It's clear with Angel Reese.

I mean, there's a play last year where Angel Reese, you know, Caitlin Clark's going up for a layup and, Angel Reese comes in from the side and clotheslines her, uh, just knocks her right to the ground with full arm elbow, right to the side of Caitlin Clark's head. You could see there's, there's, there's a dislike, you know?

I need to interrupt you one second.

Fuck Dave Portnoy for what he said about my Knicks. Sorry. Go back.

No. And I, you know what? I don't even know that. This is a racially charged issue between the players. It's a competitive issue.

I think there's two different things at play there. Number one, Listen, there's a racism problem, of course, in the country. And I think, you know, from the time we were younger, it's improved, but there's still work to be done, of course. I've been to games. You listen to athletes all over that they say, you know, they've heard horrible slurs being said. Boston is one city that's famous for it.

It's a problem. And I have no doubt that... Angel Reese has heard those slurs out there in the court. That has zero to do with Caitlin Clark. The WNBA from last year, Caitlin Clark has been abused, fouled, chronically hard fouls, flagrant fouls. And it was more of what seemed to be a rite of passage, right? She's coming out of college. She's this hot shot.

She's getting more attention in that league than every other player combined. And she had to take her beating through the league. Towards the end of last year, it started to subside a little bit where it was okay, she's taken her beating, she never really said anything about it, and she just moved on. And I think that earned her a lot of respect through the league.

Where Angel Reese has gone wrong is after that play last week, she's being interviewed and she said, ref got it right, move on. Nothing to talk about, right?

Yeah, I... Once you put white girl in it, it changes the entire conversation, right? It puts the racial aspect of the whole dynamic.

Yeah, I mean, sports is one of the, you know, it's supposed to bring us together, right? You go outside of the garden during these games, you have all walks of life. You have every race, religion, you know, creed. Everyone's standing there shoulder to shoulder. They're cheering on one team, everybody together.

Years ago, when I would run some races with New York Roadrunners, I'd look around me and it was the United Nations out there. And it's everybody moving together, cheering each other on. And that's what sports is supposed to be about. It's supposed to be a distraction from the everyday struggles of life. No one wants to see this in there. Everyone wants to watch a game. We love a good rivalry.

I would love to watch injuries and Caitlin Clark go at it the old way that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did. Those two hated each other. They played hard against each other. They wanted to destroy each other every game. But that's what it was. It was just competitive nature. Each wanted to beat the other. It wasn't. You know, it could be shut down.

This could be shut down so easily by Angel Reese by just coming out and saying, this is Rachel. I just want to beat her. I want to be the best. And everyone.

First of all, I wish two of them would just go away. No one wants to watch football for Taylor Swift. No one wants to see the Chiefs on all the time in primetime games so we could see Taylor Swift in attendance. Travis Kelsey, you know, he lost a step last year. He's getting older. And it happens to all great athletes. But we don't want to see the Chiefs keep running him out there.

Just let him go. Go off into the darkness. And please, for the love of God, don't walk around with your shirt off with your back half waxed.

I don't know. I mean, the only thing I can think is the back, the top of his back might've been so hairy that it like overtook the collar of his shirt and he just looked like a caveman. So he. did half of it. So it didn't look that bad and then forgot. I don't know. I don't know.

So this comes from a kid that grew up in California who currently goes to Yale on the East Coast, right?

Yeah. So, I mean, we take planes back and forth across the country. I'm sure they're. She's not flying coach. She's in a private jet. Leonardo DiCaprio, do as they say, not as they do when it comes to terms of the environment. I'm going to take the charters and private planes and yachts, but the rest of you should listen to me when it comes to the environment.

I can't listen to this nonsense from kids. And seriously, as parents, you know your kids out there making an idiot of themselves. Stop it. You'll tell them to stay away from the camera and not put this nonsense out there.

Yeah. I mean, and the other part of it is like, you, you, you're putting this out there in the universe for everybody to see, to, you know, I, I don't, I don't know, like as parents, you know, what you said about, you know, them leaking it out that they tried to stop her from going to the community event masked up.

Let's talk slower. You're speaking English in a Spanish cadence, which is always perilous for me. Slow down just a kiss. I can't understand you.

I mean, I don't know how as a parent you leak that about your kid, like you defend your kid till the end of the earth, right? Right or wrong. You defend them in public and you educate them in private. And then for her to do this, it really must be something special going on in that home that they are throwing each other under the bus publicly in this manner. It's just...

It baffles me, absolutely baffles me.

Thank you for having me. Let me congratulate you on your show. I listened to the first show the other day. Absolutely amazing.

um first thing i have to say is i i never heard that part about christian slater before i mean who gets it right who gets their back shaved by a strip i i just i never heard that one before well i mean it was like 4am you know i mean imagine what it was like there but like that's like who exactly like hey want to shave my back like that stripper was earning her money that night okay

Anyway, go on. The door slam. That's just in front of people. I've just given up. And it's funny. Coming from a guy who can be a pretty good actor depending upon the role he's taking. And he just can't do it. It's not there. He's just given up. He's given up on life at that moment. Slamming the door in front. Everyone knows fully well it's going to be on the front page of every paper. I'm done.

I've given up. And here it is for everyone to see.

I mean, I don't, I don't understand how you even discuss it publicly. It's, it's, it's so private, right? That's one, you know, that would be, I would assume what you consider your greatest personal failure and you would want to, and I would assume the marriage ending, not the alcoholism, right? No, not the alcoholism. No, that's, that's a struggle that people face all the time.

But to blame that on the mother of your children publicly put that out there, um,

for all to see for eternity they're going to see it over and over again it just you know to me it goes to show the level of selfishness and and just self-importance that he has uh clearly doesn't i mean he banged the nanny he clearly doesn't think allegedly allegedly she did get a drop top lexi out of it alexis which she told us about uh but he's always denied that but go on

Allegedly my, my mistake. Yeah. I mean, you know, bring that back to the, to the pictures with Jennifer Lopez on a big night for her and he's, you know, where she's elbowing him to smile. I mean, you can't, a person that can't even put a smile out there. It, it, I don't know. I don't know what goes on inside someone like that in his head. I can't place it.

There are times where you see he looks like a great guy. He's out there smiling. He can be very charismatic. He's a great looking guy. He's had some great movies. But then you see these awful moments.

Yeah, it's, uh... You go back to just the self-importance piece of it. It's just he has to put himself out there publicly. I think there's a public image that he is so concerned with. And I think maybe to a degree, part of that door slamming with Jennifer Lopez was the masculinity part where he couldn't be viewed as the weaker person in the relationship, the one without the power.

So that was a public display of... It may look like she's running things, but I'm tired of her crap. And here it is for everybody to see.

Go back to the comment you made earlier. Allegedly. Just a wild theory. You don't run off in the middle of the night for no reason. There's something that scares you into it. If I'm not mistaken, right about that time, there were reports, rumors surfacing of a female A-list superstar who may have been witness to partaking in some of the freak-offs.

and might have, you know, know where some of the bodies are buried, so to speak. It's a scary thing to be involved with. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there right now that would love to remain nameless and faceless through this whole trial.

Good Lord.

I mean, the guy's lawyer quit. The guy's lawyer resigned.

Right, and I read some other piece where there was – the lawyer made a comment about the speed at which he was resigning, and it wasn't in the normal range time frame required by the courts. But there were reasons protected by attorney-client privilege that he could not disclose that did not allow him to continue representing him.

So if your lawyer quits, a criminal defense lawyer in New York quits – I'm not really feeling too bad for you.

What is the damage here? I want to go back to the beginning where how did they initially come in contact?

Okay. But how does someone... I don't know how to find Rosie O'Donnell's address. How does somebody in jail get that?

You're that broken up. I think I read where she said her drinking had become excessive over the election as well. I mean, therapy is probably a better option than moving. I don't know that moving continents is really going to solve the problem.

And if I'm not mistaken, he didn't have to answer because President Trump answered for him, from what I read, cut him off. So we're probably pretty happy that he didn't have to follow through on that question.

Oh, he hit the nail on the head.
