My days of summer coming to an end.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Soon.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
It's about to get busy for me, about to get busy, busy, busy, busy, And.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I can't complain, can't complain.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I'm so lucky, so lucky to be podcasting, so lucky
to be living, so lucky to be feeling good. I
don't even feel that. Guy, I got a fucking pain
in my knee. I don't know if it's a arthritis.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Or what the fuck.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I got a cut.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The issues.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
But I'm very very blessed, and I'm very very lucky,

(05:11):
Francisco September twentieth September twenty first. In September I will
be in Buffalo the thirteenth and the fourteenth, I'll be
in San Francisco at Cobbs Comedy the twentieth and the
twenty first, and then I got plenty of other dates.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Busy, busy, busy.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
October, but all tickets, all information is available at Michael
rappaportcomedy dot com. October is going to be crazy busy,
moving and grooving, and then November is going to be
crazy busy, but it kicks off from me on the
thirteenth and fourteenth and Buffalo, twentieth, twenty first, San Francisco,
(05:49):
Michael Rappaportcomedy dot com. Come to a show. I'm pumped
for my fucking shows. I'm pumped in general. I am
pumped in j general. Like I said, uh, fantasy football,
I got my drafts coming up. What I mean, if
you guys knew the fucking arm twisting, if you guys
(06:12):
knew the haggling and the amount of text that it
took to get the Stern Show Fantasy football draft set,
the draft day and the draft times set, you'd be like,
why don't you I was so close to just being like,
fuck this fucking league, you dumb ape Bababooie and Jad.
(06:36):
I was like, I was so close to just being
like I am done, I'm finished. You guys are too
dumb for me to even be playing fantasy football with.
You shouldn't even have my phone number. Like, if you're
not being led by Howard, no what It's like they
need a wrangler. The Stern Show staff literally needs their
(06:57):
own wrangler. So aggravated, but we got it done. I
was like, I was this close to being like I'm finished,
fuck this league, fuck you, fuck you Booie. But then
I felt like maybe they're doing this to me. Maybe
it was a test, Maybe Booie was trying to test me.
But then I was like he's too he's too dumb.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
He can't think.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Three moves ahead. How could he possibly be thinking three
moves ahead with that three inch thick skull of his.
He's got a concrete skull. It's three inches of the
best concrete. They don't even make that kind of concrete anymore.
(07:41):
They've cheapened the mix. But that ape's got the best.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Concrete, the thickest concrete skull on the market.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Dumb, dumb monkey, bad breath, stinky lipped gorilla bah bah booie.
But I'm picking third in the Stern Show draft. I'm
picking second in my money league draft, and I'm prepping.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Slow.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm a veteran, now I'm a fantasy football veteran. Oh,
how long we've been doing it?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
How long? How much of you we've learned throughout the years?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The highs, the lows, the thrills of victory of fantasy football.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But I'm gonna get to that later. Highs and lows, thrills.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
A victory of working at ESPN. The other day, they
fired Robert Griffin, id NFL quarterback, great broadcaster, great on
the air broadcaster. They just fired him. Apparently they did
it on his day off. He posted he was like, yo,
you fire me on my day off. He did a
(08:44):
quote movie clip from Friday, like, how the fuck you
get fired on your day off? It's your day off.
ESPN fired Sam Ponder, who does the morning show, she's
the straight man, straight woman of the ESPN Morning Show,
and Robert Griffin, the third fired them both on a
(09:10):
summer Thursday. That's fucked up. But ESPN apparently they're making
budget cuts and it was a budget cut thing. It
wasn't personal. I like, damn, they really they leaned everything
with Pat McAfee, gave him some crazy money. I hope
it's paying off. I hope it's paying off because they
(09:30):
got a bunch of be squatters. You know, they're not
going to fire any of the NBA chicks. They got
an all NBA Today squad. They just it's like a
breeding ground ESPN. They build you up, they make you famous,
and then once you start asking for your worth, boom,
they fucking fire you. But Robert Griffin was awesome. He
(09:54):
was just a great analyst, likable, smart, funny. But they
chomped him, stomped him and kicked him to the curb,
fucked him and Sam Ponder to the curb. Fucked him
right to the curb. Real nice and real, proper like
and ah, this is tough. The great Jenna Rolands actress,
(10:15):
Jenna Rowlands, who most people probably know from the Notebook.
She was in The Notebook with Ryan Gossling, her son
directed that film, Nick Cassavetti's, and of course she was
in and nominated for an Academy Award a couple of times.
(10:37):
One time she was in Gloria, which was a big hit.
It's probably her most commercial film outside of the Notebook
that she starred in. But Jenna Rowlands, I have to
talk about Genner Rowlands, the actress who was literally a
game changing actress. She her collaborations with her late husband
(11:01):
John Cassavetties, who passed away years ago, the films Faces,
the films, a Woman under the Influence, the films Mini
and Moscowitz, Love Streams, and Gloria, like I mentioned, but
a woman under the influence in particular. She was so
(11:25):
good and so real. And John Cassavettis is such a
game changing He's the godfather of independent filmmaking. If you
listen to Martin Scorsese talk about the influence of John
(11:46):
Cassavetties on him. He idolized John Cassavettes. John Cassavettes, his
films were never ever ever easy to watch. They were imperfect,
and he wanted them to be imperfect. And the movie Shadows,
(12:07):
and I'm gonna tell you you should one hundred percent
watch Find a Woman under the Influence if you've never
seen it, or Husbands by John Cassavettes. But let's stay
with a Woman under the Influence. He was like a
poet and a philosopher about film and art.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And life.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
And I used to read his interviews and what he
strove for in his films and pushing.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And fighting.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
For the reality, the texture, the reality of the texture
of the reality, the innerds, the blood, guts and soul
of the acting to be acting. And John Cassavettes, who
who was a great actor.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
In his own his own right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He was in Rosemary's Baby, he's the husband in Rosemary's Baby,
and he was also in The Dirty Dozen. And he
came up in a time when acting was wooden. You know,
not that they weren't great, it was just the style
was totally different. And Marlon Brando and obviously de Niro
(13:27):
and James Dean, they get so much credit for sort
of bringing the nuanced, realistic what we know of acting now.
But John Cassavetti's pushed that shit forward in nineteen fifty
nine with his film Shadows and then every other film
(13:49):
that he ever directed. And Genner Rowlands, who was his
wife and his muse and general Olmes was gorgeous, dropped dead,
looked like fucking Marilyn Monroe bond hair, old school movie star.
When they collaborated together on those films that I mentioned,
(14:13):
it was something that had never been done before. The documentary,
ultra realistic, ultra sort of true to life vibes of
those films.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And like I said, they're flawed faces.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is a flawed movie a woman under the influence
as incredible as her performances, she got nominated for that,
it's a flawed film. But you ask any actor, particularly
any actress.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
About Jenner Rowlmes.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
She is the Marlon Brando, She is the James Dean,
she is the Robert de Niro, she is the all Newmen.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Along with some other ones of acting. You know, there's
other great women that were pushing it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Betty Davis is particularly later in her career, was doing
some crazy shit, I mean crazy shit in a good way.
But the grit and the beauty and the woman, the feminist,
the feminine energy, and A Woman under the Influences is
so ahead of its time because it's about a woman
who's having a mental breakdown. And I don't even believe
(15:33):
in the movie they ever mention anything about a mental
breakdown and her husband played by the great, the late
great Peter Falk. You should watch that movie. And like
I said, it's flawed, it's imperfect. It's adult cinema. This
is not a movie for a twenty one year old
to watch. When I was watching those movies as a kid,
I'd get the feeling, I'd get the feel, but I
(15:56):
didn't understand them the way I understand them now. And
I just rewatched last night A Woman under the Influence,
and fuck man, it's about a woman having a nervous
breakdown and it's just so good and she's so beautiful
and the acting is so real, and the cinematography is
(16:18):
you could touch it. It's like it's literally like are
you watching a documentary, are you watching a film? Are
you watching a combination of the both?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But the late.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Great John Cassavetti's has passed, and he passed obviously in
the eighties again, but his muse, the sometimes underappreciated, underrated,
undervalued Jenner Rowlands, who is a true blue, game changing actress,
(16:52):
passed away at ninety four years old. And man, I
just can't even I can't even overstate how incredible Opening Night,
how incredible she was, and how unique of an actress,
and how much she pushed the genre forward. She pushed
the genre forward, so resting, beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous, gritty peace.
(17:21):
She lived a life the excellent, excellent, general Lands.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
What else is going on? So much going on?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I mean, if you guys are watching Hard Knocks the
Chicago Bears, it's good. It's not great yet. The coach
isn't that interesting, Caleb Williams, It's not that interesting. It's
always fun watching Hard Knocks, but it's not like, you know,
the best season ever.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
But I love it. It's like a tradition.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's like a fantasy football, regular football tradition. I think
it's been on twenty two years something like that, and
now they're doing Hard Knocks in season AFC East.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I think it's AFC East. It's gonna be dope. I
love all that shit, so much fun and if.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're looking for a new reality show to watch, and
I know you're like, what the fuck? Save it for
Rappaport's Reality. Mike Rapp, we don't want to hear it here. Well,
i'm gonna tell you. Okay, I'm gonna tell you even
if you don't want to hear it here, Love Island.
What Michael Rappaport, what the fuck are you talking too?
Love Island? You're the gringo man dingo, You're the disruptive warrior. Yes,
(19:04):
Love Island is so fucking good. The new season of
Love Island is so fucking fantastic. And one of the
many great things about Love Island is there's thirty one episodes,
thirty one hours of your life.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And it is. It's just good. It's relatable, it's fun,
it's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And I stand on bidness, I stand on business, and
we'll tell you that Love Island is awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
If you're looking for something to watch, we are in
a bloom, a bloom, a fucking full bloom.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Of reality TV.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
There's so much reality TV, and that's why we created
Rapaports Reality. If you've never listened to Rapaport's Reality, it's
the podcast I have with my wife Kibi. It's fantastic.
We talk pop culture, we talk reality TV. We talk
a lot about what it's like being married to me.
We don't talk about what it's like being married to
(20:08):
my wife because she's normal, but she breaks my balls.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
It's a lot of fun. Subscribe rate review.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Check out the newest episode of Rapaport's Reality. We talk
about Marcus Jordan. Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son. There's a
couple of photographs of him putting what looks like and
I hope this isn't true, but it's what looks like
(20:34):
nose candy in his nose, And I fuck with Marcus Jordan,
and I know that must be hard for him to
be Michael Jordan's son. I know you're like, oh yeah,
I'd love to be Michael Jordan's son.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
AA.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Sometimes it's easier said than done. But we talk about that.
We talk about the greatness of Love Island. We talk
about we went to go see Deadpool. We had a big,
big problem at the concession line. I didn't even know
how to can say concession line. Anyway, you should absolutely
listen to rapp Reports Reality. It's a lighter let's say,
(21:06):
a more gleeful, a non disruptive version of me and
of course my wife Rappaport's Reality. You could download it
and listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts. This
episode of rappaports Reality this week is particularly fantastic, along
with this episode of the I Am Rappaport Stereo podcast.
(21:30):
I am so fucking fired up for fantasy football. I
am chomping at the bit for regular season NFL action.
I can't fucking wait.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
For once.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Aaron Rodgers and I agree that preseason isn't real football,
and I am deep in the minds watching tape, watching highlights,
sniffing around injury reports, coordinator movement, inner team dynamics. I
am the Fantasy Football Follies slash. I Am Rappaport Think Take.
(22:13):
We the think tank of the Iron Rap Report Stereo
Podcast slash. Fantasy Football Follies are ready for war. We're
ready to rumble. I told you that I have the
number two pick.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
In my money league.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Oh yeah, And like I said, I found out finally
where I'm going to be drafting in.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The stern Show League. And it spells trouble to.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Dude. Spend all that night anyway, it spells trouble for
both leagues. So far on the Iron Rapp Report Stereo podcast,
we have ran through wide receivers that I'm eyeing. We
have ran through the qbs, the quarterbacks, and now it's
time to talk about the big fucking bruising, speed stir
(22:59):
running back. It used to be in fantasy football at
running backs or everything, the days of Marshall falk La,
Damian Tomlinson, Jamal Charles and the fucking.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Bruiser Priest Holmes, they're gone.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Those are great, great, great days, but those days are gone.
We're not new to this. We're motherfucking true to this.
Priest Holmes was that dude for the Chiefs. Fucking bruiser,
fast bruiser, run over you and then run by you.
Those are some good fucking running backs. But time's done change.
(23:38):
The NFL is more of a high flying, pass oriented league.
The running backs they're not as valuable. I mean they're valuable,
but they are not as valuable. But you need to
load up real, nice and real, properly, real strategically on
your running backs. Said it once, set it a million times.
(24:03):
Know your guys and get your guys. We have to
look at it all, the bell cows, the depth charts,
the handcuffs, the PPR out of the backfield, the bruisers
who get the goal line attempts, or for nest runners
who get vultured by the bruisers at the gold line
attempts a lot of times, you'll give you the guys
(24:25):
that get you to the red zone. Aren't the guys
that get to stuff it in the red zone? No
Bruno game breakers, Let me mater fact. Let's get into
game breakers. Guys who can put you on their backs
and win you a week if you have them on
your squad. Obviously, the good Christian always delivers on Sunday.
How such a great Christian does it so good so
(24:50):
consistently on a Sunday is beyond?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Is beyond. I know he's been dealing with the.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Same hammy injury, but if he falls to me, I'm
snatching him up, real nice and real proper breys haul
the motherfucking wrecking ball. We gave him that name. Bryce Hall,
the wrecking Ball is finally getting his due. We were
on him first asap for the dynamic, fast, powerful highlight
(25:23):
reel that he is. It's it's hard for me to
draft a New York Jet in fantasy football. But but
there's always a butt. If Aaron Rodgers and the offensive
line can stay healthy, watch out. But it's a big
butt and a big if Bijean gets your weight on.
Bijon Robinson is about to kick ass in his second
(25:47):
year for the Falcons.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
They got Kirk Cousins. You like that, you.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Like that, I don't. But Bijeon is sick and he's
a buddy superstar. And if you told me that you
took Hohle or Robinson with the number one overall pick,
I would understand.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
But but.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I mean, there's some doubt with CMC because of the
injuries and CD because of the contract. But trust your
gun another game breaker. And it pains me to say it.
My former New York Giant Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'll pick them. There's no feelings in fantasy football. It
ain't personal. It's business. Pay that man.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Now, I can't root for your Philadelphia Eagles, but I
will root for you, Saquon Barkley, And when it comes
to fantasy football, there are no feelings in fantasy football.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
He has something to prove.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
He's got Dean Jay Swift who's now in Chicago, who
have been watching on the aforementioned hard knocks. It's sa
Quan's world and all the other Eagles are just living
in it. Jason Kelce's retired, which means you're not gonna
see as many tush pushes. You're not gonna see Jalen
(27:07):
Hurts doing as many tush pushes. I think Saquan is
gonna be getting those goal line touchdowns and the tush
pushes aren't going to be as freak With the next
tier of running backs, which is just as important as
the first tier. You gotta know your guys and get
your guys the second tier of running backs who can
(27:28):
do it all and have a nose for the end zone.
Travis Ention of the Jaguars, Kyrone Williams of the La Rams.
You know Kyrin was an absolute touchdown machine last year
coming out of nowhere. But if you take him, listen
(27:48):
to me. If you take him, you better also take
rookie Blake Curham from the national champion Michigan Wolverines as
a handcuff.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Think me later.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Okay, you better take Korum as a handcuff.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Think me later.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
And Travis Etiana is just getting better, and the Jaguars
are a fucking high powered offensive machine. Of course, Miami won.
Two punch in Miami. Raheem mostert Echian took me so long,
I don't even know if I'm saying his name correctly.
Devin Chien very intriguing. I mean, you could theoretically draft
(28:31):
and start both of them. Okay, both are are explosive,
but having Jamiir Gibbs and not David Montgomery last year
gave me PTSD. I drafted, we drafted Jamiir Gibbs, and
he started cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
But when I was talking.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
About like goal lines, Jamiir Gibbs sometimes was the guy
that got you to the goal line, and then David
Montgomery would stuff it in most starred in Chen. It's
kind of the same thing. They're both sick, but you
ultimately you want the guy who gets the fucking touchdowns.
David montgomer who's putting up crazy numbers last year for
(29:11):
the Detroit Lions, and uh, Jamiir Gibbs was the guy
that was a lot of times. It wasn't just Jamiir Gibbs,
but Jamiir Gibbs a lot of times was the guy
that was Getting It to the Red Zone podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Staying in the AFC East.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I think Stevenson in New England and Cook and Buffalo
are both going to have big years. It's not that
much competition for touches out of the backfield for either team,
which is important as long as they keep the fumbling
issues under control. Keep the fucking ball in your hands.
You got one job, not to drop the fucking ball.
(30:02):
Running backs a guy last year or I had, uh
who I see people are very high on this year
is Isaiah Pacheco and I get it, I get it.
He runs hard, but he isn't much for PPR. I
had him last year. Kansas City Chiefs make me nervous
because there's so many weapons. They are locked and fucking
(30:22):
loaded to the brim and I love Isaiah, but.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He gets hurt.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
My Giants got Devin Singletary from the Houston Texans and
he was a league winning type player. Do not be
afraid to draft Devin Singletary, The King King Derek. The
truck is in Baltimore, fucking crazy. The truck is in Baltimore,
(30:48):
and I'm looking He's going to be a problem.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I've had the truck before and I would love to
ride that truck again. Oh yeah, oh yeah, No.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Bruno Tampa. Rashad White is also a guy you want.
He's a fucking strong runner and he's the only weapon
in the buccaneer backfield. The Terminator, the Terminator. He keeps coming, James,
the Terminator. Connor just keeps putting up numbers. I had
(31:18):
him when he was just a young terminator. Oh he
was holy shit. And that fucking Arizona offense is going
to be high flying this season. I would love to
reunite with the Terminator on my fantasy football team, Rapaports Delight.

Let's move on to the NFC. The NFC sent big names.
We know them, we love them. Josh Jacobs in Green Bay,
Aaron Jones in Minnesota, who I like, but I don't
(33:09):
like smooches Sammy smooches, Sammy smooches. Darnald at quarterback makes
me nervous. I talked about the Gibbs Montgomery combo. They're great,
They're both great, but you never know who is going
to be stuffing it into the end zone Jamir Gibbs.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I mean, if you could get them, get them.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Just don't be surprised if Montgomery's the one getting the touchdowns.
I'm a huge DeAndre Swift fan, so if the price
is right, I'll take him. Also, there's a bunch of
teams that are a mess, right now at running back,
The Raiders, the Bengals, the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
The Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I can't believe they're fucking rolling with Zeke Elliott again,
no disrespect to Zeke the freak Elliott, but I mean
I got some rookies I got in my eyes on
but I'll save that for another episode. There's two headed monsters, YO,
the Washington I was gonna say, the Redskins, what is
it though? The Washington Commanders with Austin Eckler and Brian Robinson.
(34:10):
We'll see how that plays out. Two headed monsters. The
Chargers have the Bus Gus the Bus Edwards and JK. Dobbins,
both who are from the Ravens. Yo. The Chargers are
going to be in shootouts per usual. It seems like
every single season the Chargers have a team that will
put up numbers, not necessarily winning, but numbers.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
But I think people are sleeping on Herbert and Harmo.
I think they're gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I think they're gonna be putting butts in some seats
and get some Los Angeles love for the former San
Diego Chargers Tony Pollard Tajy Spears are going to be
a one to two punch in Tennessee. It's fucking It
is crazy how things can change in fantasy football.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Pollard was a first round.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Pick guy last year. He's fighting for snaps. Tony Poler
was like that dude last year. They're both really good
as security blankets for the mayonnaise king of Tennessee. I
am high on the Tennessee Titans this year. The Steelers,
(35:18):
Jalen Warren Nase Harris, but I think Jalen is that dude,
especially with the Steelers declining Harris's fifth year option. And
then of course we have the Broncos. They have a
lot going for them in the backfield, but they are
still a work in progress. Shout out to the friend
of the im Rappaport Stereo podcast, coach Sean p Sean Payton,

moving and grooving, and then November is going to be
crazy busy, but it kicks off from me on the
thirteenth and fourteenth and Buffalo, twentieth, twenty first, San Francisco,
(05:49):
Michael Rappaportcomedy dot com. Come to a show. I'm pumped
for my fucking shows. I'm pumped in general. I am
pumped in j general. Like I said, uh, fantasy football,
I got my drafts coming up. What I mean, if
you guys knew the fucking arm twisting, if you guys
(06:12):
knew the haggling and the amount of text that it
took to get the Stern Show Fantasy football draft set,
the draft day and the draft times set, you'd be like,
why don't you I was so close to just being like,
fuck this fucking league, you dumb ape Bababooie and Jad.
(06:36):
I was like, I was so close to just being
like I am done, I'm finished. You guys are too
dumb for me to even be playing fantasy football with.
You shouldn't even have my phone number. Like, if you're
not being led by Howard, no what It's like they
need a wrangler. The Stern Show staff literally needs their
(06:57):
own wrangler. So aggravated, but we got it done. I
was like, I was this close to being like I'm finished,
fuck this league, fuck you, fuck you Booie. But then
I felt like maybe they're doing this to me. Maybe
it was a test, Maybe Booie was trying to test me.
But then I was like he's too he's too dumb.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
He can't think.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Three moves ahead. How could he possibly be thinking three
moves ahead with that three inch thick skull of his.
He's got a concrete skull. It's three inches of the
best concrete. They don't even make that kind of concrete anymore.
(07:41):
They've cheapened the mix. But that ape's got the best.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Concrete, the thickest concrete skull on the market.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Dumb, dumb monkey, bad breath, stinky lipped gorilla bah bah booie.
But I'm picking third in the Stern Show draft. I'm
picking second in my money league draft, and I'm prepping.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Slow.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I'm a veteran, now I'm a fantasy football veteran. Oh,
how long we've been doing it?
Speaker 2 (08:12):
How long? How much of you we've learned throughout the years?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
The highs, the lows, the thrills of victory of fantasy football.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
But I'm gonna get to that later. Highs and lows, thrills.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
A victory of working at ESPN. The other day, they
fired Robert Griffin, id NFL quarterback, great broadcaster, great on
the air broadcaster. They just fired him. Apparently they did
it on his day off. He posted he was like, yo,
you fire me on my day off. He did a
(08:44):
quote movie clip from Friday, like, how the fuck you
get fired on your day off? It's your day off.
ESPN fired Sam Ponder, who does the morning show, she's
the straight man, straight woman of the ESPN Morning Show,
and Robert Griffin, the third fired them both on a
(09:10):
summer Thursday. That's fucked up. But ESPN apparently they're making
budget cuts and it was a budget cut thing. It
wasn't personal. I like, damn, they really they leaned everything
with Pat McAfee, gave him some crazy money. I hope
it's paying off. I hope it's paying off because they
(09:30):
got a bunch of be squatters. You know, they're not
going to fire any of the NBA chicks. They got
an all NBA Today squad. They just it's like a
breeding ground ESPN. They build you up, they make you famous,
and then once you start asking for your worth, boom,
they fucking fire you. But Robert Griffin was awesome. He
(09:54):
was just a great analyst, likable, smart, funny. But they
chomped him, stomped him and kicked him to the curb,
fucked him and Sam Ponder to the curb. Fucked him
right to the curb. Real nice and real, proper like
and ah, this is tough. The great Jenna Rolands actress,
(10:15):
Jenna Rowlands, who most people probably know from the Notebook.
She was in The Notebook with Ryan Gossling, her son
directed that film, Nick Cassavetti's, and of course she was
in and nominated for an Academy Award a couple of times.
(10:37):
One time she was in Gloria, which was a big hit.
It's probably her most commercial film outside of the Notebook
that she starred in. But Jenna Rowlands, I have to
talk about Genner Rowlands, the actress who was literally a
game changing actress. She her collaborations with her late husband
(11:01):
John Cassavetties, who passed away years ago, the films Faces,
the films, a Woman under the Influence, the films Mini
and Moscowitz, Love Streams, and Gloria, like I mentioned, but
a woman under the influence in particular. She was so
(11:25):
good and so real. And John Cassavettis is such a
game changing He's the godfather of independent filmmaking. If you
listen to Martin Scorsese talk about the influence of John
(11:46):
Cassavetties on him. He idolized John Cassavettes. John Cassavettes, his
films were never ever ever easy to watch. They were imperfect,
and he wanted them to be imperfect. And the movie Shadows,
(12:07):
and I'm gonna tell you you should one hundred percent
watch Find a Woman under the Influence if you've never
seen it, or Husbands by John Cassavettes. But let's stay
with a Woman under the Influence. He was like a
poet and a philosopher about film and art.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And life.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
And I used to read his interviews and what he
strove for in his films and pushing.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And fighting.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
For the reality, the texture, the reality of the texture
of the reality, the innerds, the blood, guts and soul
of the acting to be acting. And John Cassavettes, who
who was a great actor.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
In his own his own right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
He was in Rosemary's Baby, he's the husband in Rosemary's Baby,
and he was also in The Dirty Dozen. And he
came up in a time when acting was wooden. You know,
not that they weren't great, it was just the style
was totally different. And Marlon Brando and obviously de Niro
(13:27):
and James Dean, they get so much credit for sort
of bringing the nuanced, realistic what we know of acting now.
But John Cassavetti's pushed that shit forward in nineteen fifty
nine with his film Shadows and then every other film
(13:49):
that he ever directed. And Genner Rowlands, who was his
wife and his muse and general Olmes was gorgeous, dropped dead,
looked like fucking Marilyn Monroe bond hair, old school movie star.
When they collaborated together on those films that I mentioned,
(14:13):
it was something that had never been done before. The documentary,
ultra realistic, ultra sort of true to life vibes of
those films.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And like I said, they're flawed faces.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is a flawed movie a woman under the influence
as incredible as her performances, she got nominated for that,
it's a flawed film. But you ask any actor, particularly
any actress.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
About Jenner Rowlmes.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
She is the Marlon Brando, She is the James Dean,
she is the Robert de Niro, she is the all Newmen.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Along with some other ones of acting. You know, there's
other great women that were pushing it.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Betty Davis is particularly later in her career, was doing
some crazy shit, I mean crazy shit in a good way.
But the grit and the beauty and the woman, the feminist,
the feminine energy, and A Woman under the Influences is
so ahead of its time because it's about a woman
who's having a mental breakdown. And I don't even believe
(15:33):
in the movie they ever mention anything about a mental
breakdown and her husband played by the great, the late
great Peter Falk. You should watch that movie. And like
I said, it's flawed, it's imperfect. It's adult cinema. This
is not a movie for a twenty one year old
to watch. When I was watching those movies as a kid,
I'd get the feeling, I'd get the feel, but I
(15:56):
didn't understand them the way I understand them now. And
I just rewatched last night A Woman under the Influence,
and fuck man, it's about a woman having a nervous
breakdown and it's just so good and she's so beautiful
and the acting is so real, and the cinematography is
(16:18):
you could touch it. It's like it's literally like are
you watching a documentary, are you watching a film? Are
you watching a combination of the both?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But the late.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Great John Cassavetti's has passed, and he passed obviously in
the eighties again, but his muse, the sometimes underappreciated, underrated,
undervalued Jenner Rowlands, who is a true blue, game changing actress,
(16:52):
passed away at ninety four years old. And man, I
just can't even I can't even overstate how incredible Opening Night,
how incredible she was, and how unique of an actress,
and how much she pushed the genre forward. She pushed
the genre forward, so resting, beautiful, beautiful, gorgeous, gritty peace.
(17:21):
She lived a life the excellent, excellent, general Lands.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
What else is going on? So much going on?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I mean, if you guys are watching Hard Knocks the
Chicago Bears, it's good. It's not great yet. The coach
isn't that interesting, Caleb Williams, It's not that interesting. It's
always fun watching Hard Knocks, but it's not like, you know,
the best season ever.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
But I love it. It's like a tradition.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's like a fantasy football, regular football tradition. I think
it's been on twenty two years something like that, and
now they're doing Hard Knocks in season AFC East.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I think it's AFC East. It's gonna be dope. I
love all that shit, so much fun and if.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You're looking for a new reality show to watch, and
I know you're like, what the fuck? Save it for
Rappaport's Reality. Mike Rapp, we don't want to hear it here. Well,
i'm gonna tell you. Okay, I'm gonna tell you even
if you don't want to hear it here, Love Island.
What Michael Rappaport, what the fuck are you talking too?
Love Island? You're the gringo man dingo, You're the disruptive warrior. Yes,
(19:04):
Love Island is so fucking good. The new season of
Love Island is so fucking fantastic. And one of the
many great things about Love Island is there's thirty one episodes,
thirty one hours of your life.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And it is. It's just good. It's relatable, it's fun,
it's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And I stand on bidness, I stand on business, and
we'll tell you that Love Island is awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
If you're looking for something to watch, we are in
a bloom, a bloom, a fucking full bloom.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Of reality TV.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
There's so much reality TV, and that's why we created
Rapaports Reality. If you've never listened to Rapaport's Reality, it's
the podcast I have with my wife Kibi. It's fantastic.
We talk pop culture, we talk reality TV. We talk
a lot about what it's like being married to me.
We don't talk about what it's like being married to
(20:08):
my wife because she's normal, but she breaks my balls.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
It's a lot of fun. Subscribe rate review.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Check out the newest episode of Rapaport's Reality. We talk
about Marcus Jordan. Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son. There's a
couple of photographs of him putting what looks like and
I hope this isn't true, but it's what looks like
(20:34):
nose candy in his nose, And I fuck with Marcus Jordan,
and I know that must be hard for him to
be Michael Jordan's son. I know you're like, oh yeah,
I'd love to be Michael Jordan's son.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
AA.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Sometimes it's easier said than done. But we talk about that.
We talk about the greatness of Love Island. We talk
about we went to go see Deadpool. We had a big,
big problem at the concession line. I didn't even know
how to can say concession line. Anyway, you should absolutely
listen to rapp Reports Reality. It's a lighter let's say,
(21:06):
a more gleeful, a non disruptive version of me and
of course my wife Rappaport's Reality. You could download it
and listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts. This
episode of rappaports Reality this week is particularly fantastic, along
with this episode of the I Am Rappaport Stereo podcast.
(21:30):
I am so fucking fired up for fantasy football. I
am chomping at the bit for regular season NFL action.
I can't fucking wait.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
For once.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Aaron Rodgers and I agree that preseason isn't real football,
and I am deep in the minds watching tape, watching highlights,
sniffing around injury reports, coordinator movement, inner team dynamics. I
am the Fantasy Football Follies slash. I Am Rappaport Think Take.
(22:13):
We the think tank of the Iron Rap Report Stereo
Podcast slash. Fantasy Football Follies are ready for war. We're
ready to rumble. I told you that I have the
number two pick.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
In my money league.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Oh yeah, And like I said, I found out finally
where I'm going to be drafting in.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The stern Show League. And it spells trouble to.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Dude. Spend all that night anyway, it spells trouble for
both leagues. So far on the Iron Rapp Report Stereo podcast,
we have ran through wide receivers that I'm eyeing. We
have ran through the qbs, the quarterbacks, and now it's
time to talk about the big fucking bruising, speed stir
(22:59):
running back. It used to be in fantasy football at
running backs or everything, the days of Marshall falk La,
Damian Tomlinson, Jamal Charles and the fucking.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Bruiser Priest Holmes, they're gone.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Those are great, great, great days, but those days are gone.
We're not new to this. We're motherfucking true to this.
Priest Holmes was that dude for the Chiefs. Fucking bruiser,
fast bruiser, run over you and then run by you.
Those are some good fucking running backs. But time's done change.
(23:38):
The NFL is more of a high flying, pass oriented league.
The running backs they're not as valuable. I mean they're valuable,
but they are not as valuable. But you need to
load up real, nice and real, properly, real strategically on
your running backs. Said it once, set it a million times.
(24:03):
Know your guys and get your guys. We have to
look at it all, the bell cows, the depth charts,
the handcuffs, the PPR out of the backfield, the bruisers
who get the goal line attempts, or for nest runners
who get vultured by the bruisers at the gold line
attempts a lot of times, you'll give you the guys
(24:25):
that get you to the red zone. Aren't the guys
that get to stuff it in the red zone? No
Bruno game breakers, Let me mater fact. Let's get into
game breakers. Guys who can put you on their backs
and win you a week if you have them on
your squad. Obviously, the good Christian always delivers on Sunday.
How such a great Christian does it so good so
(24:50):
consistently on a Sunday is beyond?
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Is beyond. I know he's been dealing with the.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Same hammy injury, but if he falls to me, I'm
snatching him up, real nice and real proper breys haul
the motherfucking wrecking ball. We gave him that name. Bryce Hall,
the wrecking Ball is finally getting his due. We were
on him first asap for the dynamic, fast, powerful highlight
(25:23):
reel that he is. It's it's hard for me to
draft a New York Jet in fantasy football. But but
there's always a butt. If Aaron Rodgers and the offensive
line can stay healthy, watch out. But it's a big
butt and a big if Bijean gets your weight on.
Bijon Robinson is about to kick ass in his second
(25:47):
year for the Falcons.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
They got Kirk Cousins. You like that, you.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Like that, I don't. But Bijeon is sick and he's
a buddy superstar. And if you told me that you
took Hohle or Robinson with the number one overall pick,
I would understand.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
But but.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I mean, there's some doubt with CMC because of the
injuries and CD because of the contract. But trust your
gun another game breaker. And it pains me to say it.
My former New York Giant Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'll pick them. There's no feelings in fantasy football. It
ain't personal. It's business. Pay that man.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Now, I can't root for your Philadelphia Eagles, but I
will root for you, Saquon Barkley, And when it comes
to fantasy football, there are no feelings in fantasy football.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
He has something to prove.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
He's got Dean Jay Swift who's now in Chicago, who
have been watching on the aforementioned hard knocks. It's sa
Quan's world and all the other Eagles are just living
in it. Jason Kelce's retired, which means you're not gonna
see as many tush pushes. You're not gonna see Jalen
(27:07):
Hurts doing as many tush pushes. I think Saquan is
gonna be getting those goal line touchdowns and the tush
pushes aren't going to be as freak With the next
tier of running backs, which is just as important as
the first tier. You gotta know your guys and get
your guys the second tier of running backs who can
(27:28):
do it all and have a nose for the end zone.
Travis Ention of the Jaguars, Kyrone Williams of the La Rams.
You know Kyrin was an absolute touchdown machine last year
coming out of nowhere. But if you take him, listen
(27:48):
to me. If you take him, you better also take
rookie Blake Curham from the national champion Michigan Wolverines as
a handcuff.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Think me later.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Okay, you better take Korum as a handcuff.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Think me later.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
And Travis Etiana is just getting better, and the Jaguars
are a fucking high powered offensive machine. Of course, Miami won.
Two punch in Miami. Raheem mostert Echian took me so long,
I don't even know if I'm saying his name correctly.
Devin Chien very intriguing. I mean, you could theoretically draft
(28:31):
and start both of them. Okay, both are are explosive,
but having Jamiir Gibbs and not David Montgomery last year
gave me PTSD. I drafted, we drafted Jamiir Gibbs, and
he started cooking.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
But when I was talking.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
About like goal lines, Jamiir Gibbs sometimes was the guy
that got you to the goal line, and then David
Montgomery would stuff it in most starred in Chen. It's
kind of the same thing. They're both sick, but you
ultimately you want the guy who gets the fucking touchdowns.
David montgomer who's putting up crazy numbers last year for
(29:11):
the Detroit Lions, and uh, Jamiir Gibbs was the guy
that was a lot of times. It wasn't just Jamiir Gibbs,
but Jamiir Gibbs a lot of times was the guy
that was Getting It to the Red Zone podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Staying in the AFC East.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I think Stevenson in New England and Cook and Buffalo
are both going to have big years. It's not that
much competition for touches out of the backfield for either team,
which is important as long as they keep the fumbling
issues under control. Keep the fucking ball in your hands.
You got one job, not to drop the fucking ball.
(30:02):
Running backs a guy last year or I had, uh
who I see people are very high on this year
is Isaiah Pacheco and I get it, I get it.
He runs hard, but he isn't much for PPR. I
had him last year. Kansas City Chiefs make me nervous
because there's so many weapons. They are locked and fucking
(30:22):
loaded to the brim and I love Isaiah, but.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
He gets hurt.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
My Giants got Devin Singletary from the Houston Texans and
he was a league winning type player. Do not be
afraid to draft Devin Singletary, The King King Derek. The
truck is in Baltimore, fucking crazy. The truck is in Baltimore,
(30:48):
and I'm looking He's going to be a problem.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I've had the truck before and I would love to
ride that truck again. Oh yeah, oh yeah, No.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Bruno Tampa. Rashad White is also a guy you want.
He's a fucking strong runner and he's the only weapon
in the buccaneer backfield. The Terminator, the Terminator. He keeps coming, James,
the Terminator. Connor just keeps putting up numbers. I had
(31:18):
him when he was just a young terminator. Oh he
was holy shit. And that fucking Arizona offense is going
to be high flying this season. I would love to
reunite with the Terminator on my fantasy football team, Rapaports Delight.
And I'm telling you guys right now, when it comes
(31:40):
to football, when it comes to fantasy football, be a captain.
We are the captains. This is when it gets really
really real. Okay, the Captains. Captain Picks have signed an

Let's move on to the NFC. The NFC sent big names.
We know them, we love them. Josh Jacobs in Green Bay,
Aaron Jones in Minnesota, who I like, but I don't
(33:09):
like smooches Sammy smooches, Sammy smooches. Darnald at quarterback makes
me nervous. I talked about the Gibbs Montgomery combo. They're great,
They're both great, but you never know who is going
to be stuffing it into the end zone Jamir Gibbs.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
I mean, if you could get them, get them.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Just don't be surprised if Montgomery's the one getting the touchdowns.
I'm a huge DeAndre Swift fan, so if the price
is right, I'll take him. Also, there's a bunch of
teams that are a mess, right now at running back,
The Raiders, the Bengals, the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
The Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I can't believe they're fucking rolling with Zeke Elliott again,
no disrespect to Zeke the freak Elliott, but I mean
I got some rookies I got in my eyes on
but I'll save that for another episode. There's two headed monsters, YO,
the Washington I was gonna say, the Redskins, what is
it though? The Washington Commanders with Austin Eckler and Brian Robinson.
(34:10):
We'll see how that plays out. Two headed monsters. The
Chargers have the Bus Gus the Bus Edwards and JK. Dobbins,
both who are from the Ravens. Yo. The Chargers are
going to be in shootouts per usual. It seems like
every single season the Chargers have a team that will
put up numbers, not necessarily winning, but numbers.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
But I think people are sleeping on Herbert and Harmo.
I think they're gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I think they're gonna be putting butts in some seats
and get some Los Angeles love for the former San
Diego Chargers Tony Pollard Tajy Spears are going to be
a one to two punch in Tennessee. It's fucking It
is crazy how things can change in fantasy football.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Pollard was a first round.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Pick guy last year. He's fighting for snaps. Tony Poler
was like that dude last year. They're both really good
as security blankets for the mayonnaise king of Tennessee. I
am high on the Tennessee Titans this year. The Steelers,
(35:18):
Jalen Warren Nase Harris, but I think Jalen is that dude,
especially with the Steelers declining Harris's fifth year option. And
then of course we have the Broncos. They have a
lot going for them in the backfield, but they are
still a work in progress. Shout out to the friend
of the im Rappaport Stereo podcast, coach Sean p Sean Payton,
(35:40):
coach of the Denver Broncos.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
That was one of the best.
