I mean, look who's talking. You're you're fresh off a
European tour as well.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I listen, ladies and gentlemen, Dino Casino just off a
European tour.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I was where I was.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
We literally we said two days ago, let's just catch
up on the pocket. Look at you, Look at your hair,
look at your white T shirt. You look magnificent, shooter,
you look great?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Freely? Oh man, are you are you just saying? Are
you just saying that? Would?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I just do you think I ever just ever want
to give you a compliment?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Ever?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, When I let me tell you something, my friend
Mia migo deuced paccino, deuce cuddles. When I give you
a compliment, soak it up, soak it up. I am
I'm basking in it right now because the slow pitch
compliments are gonna come, and you know, sooner or later,
probably sooner than later, the overhand rights are gonna they're
(04:47):
gonna drop in there. So if when I'm telling you
you look magnificent, I mean it, my friend.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Thank you man. I mean, you could just keep that coming.
And I'm not looking forward to the to the drop down,
but I'll take it as a as it comes. So
how was your trip? Bro? You were in? First of all,
I just want to start off by saying, Traders, right,
you shot a season of Traders? How does it work?
I mean, I guess you can't really say anything about it.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I can confirm that, yes, I did do Traders. It
was reported that I did Traders. I can confirm that
I can't. The first rule of Traders is you don't
discuss Traders. I was in Scotland. I've talked about the
show many times on this podcast. I've talked about the
(05:33):
show many times on Rapaports Reality. But I can say
and confirm that I can't talk much about it. But
I will say I had an awesome time. I had
a fun time. I had a great time.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
An unforgettable experience. I predict this will be the biggest
season of the show yet. The show's already, you know,
hugely successful and people love it. I predict well, this
will be the most watched season of the show.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I had a ball.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I had fun. It was awesome, it was exciting, it
was totally new, it was unique. It was unlike anything.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I've ever done before.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And to be such a fan of something and then
to do it was I gotta be totally honest without
getting too heavy.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I felt blessed. I felt like it was a blessing.
And I'm gonna explain why.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Because to do something that gives me joy and I
know gives the viewer's joy, and to be a part
of it and also have such a great time doing it.
I had a ball doing Traders, and I had a
great experience, and like I said, I can't. There's a
lot of you know, rules and regulations, as there should be,
(06:51):
and you know, some people are like, well, you know,
it's just this, and what do I say. The reason
why there's rules and regulations is so you, the viewer
at home, when it comes out, you can enjoy it
and not know what the fuck happened.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So that's why I hear you on that. I do
hear you on that. Bro, I hear you. But can
I mean, can you just tell me off the cuff or.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I tell you off the cuff? There's no no, no, no, no,
no not there's no off the cuff.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
There's no off the cuff.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
This is the I Am Rapaport Stereo podcast, the Worldwide Phenomenon. Okay,
it was reported that I did it. It was reported
that it started, and that's all I said.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What I just said. I had a.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Fantastic time and I felt lucky to be doing something
that I really enjoy and that I know people enjoy.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Getting back to New York and I literally just got
back here and it is hot. It is super duper.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Hot and me being Michael Rappaport, me being a mister
new York.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You know this. Wherever I go, people.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Are curious about this, curious about that, curious about you know,
the Knicks. Who's gonna be mayor? Do you want to
be mayor? Do you want to be the Knicks coach?
That's my new thing. People are like, do you want
to be the mayor? Do you want to be the
coach of the Knicks. I'm like, I could do both.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You don't have an option either this that's not presented
to you. No one's asking you to be the mayor,
and nobody's asking you to be the coach of the Knicks.
In fact, I think you're still banned from the stadium
from Mason's Madison Square garden, So there's no there's not
even you're not even a fan of Excuse me. They
won't let you in the building. You won't let you
in the build. Excuse me when I get the audition.
(08:29):
I just got back to New York.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I can't walk five feet without people saying, will you
run for mayor?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Would you be the coach of the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I can't walk five feet in New York City right now,
summer twenty twenty five, without people stopping me and asking
me that, I'm like, I gotta go.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
They're like, but what will you do? Will you run
for mayor?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Mike crap? I don't. Nobody's nobody's asking you to run
for mayor. And if you ran for mayor, you would
burn that fucking piss hole into the ground. It's already
so shitty out there, I feel like in New York.
But you would really ruin it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You you watch your you would ruin You watch your
fucking mouth, man, You watch your fucking mouth. You worry
about the greatest city on the planet, You watch your
fucking trap.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Okay, keep it. But a lot of people have been
calling me about this Traders thing, because I have so
many people that have texted me saying I've followed Michael
like his whole career. This is probably the coolest thing
that he's been a part of, and they want to
know about it. I know there's some Bravo people involved.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't you know anything about anything about anything? Who
was involved about none of it. I know nothing about nothing.
I said what I said, and I'm sticking to what
I said. I ain't getting caught up in no honey
trap from you. There's no off the cup. There's just
no share with the listeners. I adore the listeners of
the Iron rap Port Stereo podcast. I have missed recording
(09:52):
the Iron rap Ports Stereo Pockets. I missed you, Shooter
to see you in the front of you with the
hair and the curtains hanging down.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Do you like the curtains or should I? Should I
go for a buzz cut? Should we go back to Spike?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No, this is really young kids are doing. And you
look like a young kid. You're pushing forty, but you
look like a young kid, and this.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Is what you should be doing. This is the look.
And when I was in Europe, I swear to God
and I'm not trying to gasp myself up about looking young,
but I was getting carted at so many fucking bars
and dancing places. They literally were like they thought I
was twenty five. So I might just move there just
for an ego boost at this point, but I'm bummed
(10:32):
that we didn't meet up. Well, you were in Europe
and I was in Europe, because we could have. We
could have had a real party out there together.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Is Scotland considered Europe.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Shit, I shouldn't know?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah right, no, maybe it's I mean, you're mister Europe.
Is Scotland considered your up?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, it's definitely Europe. It's definitely Europe. I mean, I'm
a British citizen, because I know I'm a British citizen,
but I don't know with all that Brexit shit, if
it's still considered Europe. It's considered Europe, though, how do
you know? Because I know, let me and you want
me to look at up?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Can let maybe google it?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Maybe break the rule number one in the iron Wrapped
Port stereo podcasts. Uh no, fact checking not to be
confused with rule one of traders is don't talk about traders.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Scotland is a country that is a part of the
United Kingdom. It contains nearly one third of the United
Kingdom's land area.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So wait, wait, wait, wait wait If Scotland is a
part of the United Kingdom, does that make it part
of Europe?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yes? Yeah, because the United Kingdom is a part of Europe.
You're sure about? Like England is in Europe? One hundred percent? Okay,
one hundred percent? Well I could be totally wrong. I
just I'm like, I'm confident with what I'm saying, and
I hope nobody questions it. But no, no, you're definitely questioned.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You're You're going to get questioned if Scotland is part
of Europe or not, and especially how confident you are
with your answer.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're good. I hope you're right. I hope I'm fuck man,
I hope I'm right too. Europe is arop of countries.
That yeah, there's tons of fucking countries. It's not like
you say, I'm going to Europe and that's just like England.
It can be. I mean, there's so many different countries
in Europe. But this isn't a history class. And I'm
not a fucking history made no shit. You don't ask me,
no shit, You're not a Can you name all the
(12:16):
continents North America, South America, Africa? Mm hmm, Europe? You
got it? Europe? Yep? I said that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
And then there's a big one to the right of it,
which is like you got.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
That one, it's huge. What's that one? You? I think
you have like three left Hawaii. No, that that's not it? No, no, no, no,
hold on, fuck are you talking about? Hold on? Hold on?
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It's North America, South America, I got those, Africa.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Europe, mhm, and what and what Asia?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Asia, Asia, Australia, Australia, I forgot that one.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And Antarctica and Antarctica.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
See those are the ones I haven't been to.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Podca. I will tell you this because I want to
talk about me and then talk about your European tour.
I did not have a phone, and I will tell
(13:34):
you probably the best part of my experience, outside of
the actual doing the experience, which I can't discuss, was
not having a phone. Now, while I didn't have my phone,
and while I was withdrawing from my I don't know,
thirteen fourteen year addiction. I'm an addict a phone. You
(13:58):
were detoxing, brother, When I tell you I was detaiped
for real, bro, I'm telling you. When I tell you
that I was detoxing from the phone and detoxing from
the swiping and detoxing from the social media.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I mean it. I mean it was. It was not easy.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But I am now officially, since I've been back in
New York and I just getting here, just getting my
feet back. When I was given my phone, and since
I've had my phone, I'm now one of those people
that doesn't use a phone. I have spent the last
few days like I gotta be honest, you know who
you're talking to.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I love social media. I enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I get off on it, the good, the bad, the highs,
the lows, the thrills of the victory, the agony of defeat,
all of it. It's a dirty, dirty sport. But I've
played it non stop for we don't know how many years.
But I got to tell you, when you get that
withdraw from the phone and you start looking at it,
(15:04):
it hits differently. It's not as dope or not as dope.
A meanish, I wasn't getting that rush. I wasn't getting
that m that I have gotten before. Because now when
I'm looking at Twitter, now, when I'm looking at Instagram, now,
when I'm looking at you know, face Bizzle, now when
I'm looking at TikTok, I see how they sort of
(15:25):
get you the redundancy. And I don't need to sit
here and dwell in the fact that the Knicks don't
have a coach and the mayor's race is what it
is like, you see it, You get the news and
you move on.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And I gotta be.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Honest, I don't know what to do with myself. But
I am now one of those people who says, oh,
I don't have my phone with me.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's sick. I don't even recognize this person. I'm just
like taking aback by everything that you're telling me. And
I think it's great because we've talked about it in
the past, and I know that you're on your phone
heavily with news. You're very spoken.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yes, no, keep going, keep complimenting.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I'm waiting. Oh I thought you were raising the heat
of question.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Keep complimenting me, Keep complimenting me.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yes, yes, yes, oh I see yes, no. And I
know that you're very outspoken. You need, you feel the
need to comment on a lot of things. People like
to hear your opinions on a lot of things. But
we've talked about how you know, even if you're consuming
puppy videos and love and happiness every day, that's still
an addiction that you're getting all this stuff. But if
(16:29):
you're looking at Instagram and Twitter for the news and
all the horrible shit that's been happening in the world,
and you're consuming that daily, it is one hundred percent,
whether you know it or not. Taking a toll on
your mental health, and I think everybody should take a
step back from social media, you know, deactivate every now
and again. But I think it's great that you're doing
it now.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
You have judged me, You have brought my phone addiction,
like so many other people, to my attention. You've shamed
me even before I've realized that I have an addiction.
The thing that I'm trying to figure out now that
I'm one of those people that's not on the phone
all the time, is what do you do with yourself now?
Because in twenty twenty five, when you don't have a phone,
(17:11):
I gotta be honest, it is pretty fucking boring, and
I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, you can't expect other people to be as hip
or as evolved as I am. Now.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm hip, I'm evolved. I don't use a phone all
the time. I ration out my phone time. But when
I'm sitting with other people and they're.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Just like scrolling and flipping and they're just all.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Consumed, I feel like, number one, should I be sitting
with that person? Number two, I'm judging them, like you
fucking loser, You're strung out, You're and.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That was you like five days ago.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Hey, hey, motherfucker, I'm past that now. I'm evolved now.
But since you're okay, what Dean.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
No, I hear you though, Yeah, But what I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Ask you in twenty twenty five, since you're so like
in control over your phone use, I was, what do
you do? Because people like, well, read a book, and
I'm like, I didn't read books before phones.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Why would I get into reading now?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I didn't read books before the iPhone?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So what now? What now? What do you do? I'm
trying to also the same thing, Like I haven't really
been on Instagram much like I just think it's I
don't know, I think it's so fucked for like mental
health and shit, I don't I don't feel the need
to be like posting all the time on there. But
I've tried to step back from my phone also and
lean into you know, I've been more creative lately, Like
(18:31):
I've I've I started playing music again, writing music again,
playing guitar. Lean into your hobbies. I'm trying to get
into the gym again. I mean, I've gone to the gym,
but I'm looking into getting a personal trainer. I really
need a personal trainer. I don't know if you if
you've been in that boat. But it's hard for me
to motivate myself. So I'm looking to I'm looking to
get jack, bro. I'm looking to get these muscles going.
(18:53):
My arm's bigger, and I want a trainer, like twice
a week somewhere in West Hollywood. Nice. Well, what do
you think about that? I think you should try to
get yourself jacked up? Brother. I say, you get yourself
going to PT that's what they call them.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Get yourself a nice personal trainer, Okay, one that doesn't
talk too much because you don't want to get wrapped
up with these people.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
No, because you know that's a thing, you get wrapped
up with them.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I liked when you're going to the classes and all
that stuff. But I say, you get yourself jacked to
the max.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Brother. Summer's just starting. I mean we'll work at the
end of June here, but we're starting in July. But
and it's always good not to talk about it. And
I don't want to talk about it either. I just
want to let you know that I'm interested. I'm gonna
be looking exploring into personal trainers. By I gotta let
the results you know, show the work here, so.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The results speak for themselves, speak for itself, right right,
I listen, I support you getting a trainer. I support
you getting jack up. Brother, get yourself. You and I
should both do it. Bro.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Maybe I'll come to New York. We'll do a little
training session together. We got to get back in it.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
No problem, man, not a problem at all. So okay,
So I'm not in the music.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I get it. I know. Are you a reader? Are
you a reader? No, I'm not. I'm no. My eyes
are fucked. I've been actually going to the eye doctor
because my eyes are so fucked. I got to get
some like prism glasses and all sorts of shit. It's
just for reading because I like it's whatever. But no,
I really I'd like to get into reading. But I've
been journaling a lot. I've been doing a lot of
random shit, like trying to be a little bit more creative.
(20:19):
But I've been journaling, writing out my thoughts. I actually
I like manifested for the first time in my life,
where you put affirmations down on paper. There was some
full moon that happened the other day. The other night.
You light a candle, you put all your affirmations down
on paper, and then you pour water into a jar,
and you put the affirmations underneath the water jar, and
(20:41):
you put it under the moonlight all night, and then
the next morning you drink the water like you are
drinking the affirmations. I never really done anything like that,
but but I did it, and I sat with in
candle lit by myself, and I did my affirmations and
I drank.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
The moon juice or the moon water the next day,
and it felt good.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You just be doing spiritual stuff, and yeah, bro, we're
just trying to get into our spiritual put any affirmations
for me?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Were you? Like?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I hope this for Mike wrap shit, I mean I didn't.
I did it for like, well, my friends, my family. No,
I'm asking she and your affirmation about you.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I know.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, you didn't do any now one affirmation for me.
And it was like a whole page. I was actually
I flipped it over because I had more affirmations. I
realized I totally forgot. Well there you fucking go, asshole,
there you fucking go, there you fucking go. You fuck about.
You got to make your own affirmations, man, it's not
my respect. Just said you did one for your friends
(21:40):
and your family. You couldn't hook me up with like
one affirmation.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
And drink it.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You were a part of that, I said. I said,
I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy, and you were.
You weren't.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Man, you could give me something a little bit more specific,
all right on the next full moon.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I got you, bro, I got you. Okay, Listen, people
have hit me up? Where have I been? I know
people have hit you up?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Where's my crap?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
But the thing that everybody wants to know is Dino
Casino in Europe twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Where'd you go? What did you see? What happened?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
How was your twenty twenty five European vacation?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
My friend, twenty twenty five euro trip was honestly amazing.
I really needed it. It was I got to disconnect.
I saw some beautiful, beautiful places, just had a nice reset.
I met some great people out there also. So now
I've got a couple friends out in Norway and in Copenhagen,
which is cool. But I went to I started off
(22:40):
in Copenhagen in Denmark. I flew from lax to Philadelphia.
I almost missed the layover. I was running to the plane,
I made it and I landed in Copenhagen. I stayed
in a hostel for three days with some friends, and
Copenhagen was beautiful. It was It was kind of similar
because I did Amsterdam and it was all these places
(23:00):
I'd never been to. But Copenhagen was sort of similar
to Amsterdam in the sense that it has all these
beautiful canals. But Copenhagen was a lot more vibrant and saturated,
and the buildings were colorful, and it was clean and
the people were cool. But when I got to Amsterdam,
it was a lot more muted and dirty. And Amsterdam
was kind of my least favorite. I mean, there was
there was like guys pissing in the canals when I
(23:23):
went through like canal I was going through like canal
tours and you just see people like with their dick out,
just pissing, and I mean, it's disgusting. But that was
kind of a crazy place. But no, Copenhagen was was amazing.
Did a bunch of stuff out there, and then we
flew to Norway, and Norway was just absolutely breathtaking and
(23:44):
the nature is it city is well. I went to
this city called Oslo, only for the day and the night,
and I met up with some friends out there, and
I really regretted not extending that trip because that was
so much fun and kind of like some people took
me to like some local hidden gems and and we
had a really good time there. And then we took
(24:05):
this scenic train from Oslo to a city called Bergen,
and it was about almost an eight hour train ride,
one of the most scenic in the world. It was
kind of the whole reason I went out there for
this train ride, and and it was beautiful. And then
we get to this place called Bergen, and it's like
this kind of fishing boating town, like little village with
(24:25):
colorful houses, and it sort of seems sleepy and it's
beautiful nature. But I was shocked at how much of
a party city this place was. People were. And to
give you context, the sun doesn't go down, which I'm
sure you experienced in Europe. There's this thing called the
midnight sun where it just it literally doesn't go down,
(24:46):
so at one in the morning it's still fucking light out.
It gets to be kind of twilight where it's it's
kind of dusk, and that's as dark as it gets
and then it just gets light again.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm not with it, like it's cool to pass through it,
but it like it threw me off, and I'm again too.
We're not sure if I was in Europe or not,
because I was in Scotland, and we're not sure if
Scotland is actually Europe or not.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
But in Scotland they.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Have that weird light and it is bizarre. It is
bizarre when you're trying to sleep, and I mean, it's
it throws you. It reminded me of that movie.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What was it, Christopher Nolan movie? Yeah, but you know,
and Robin Williams, that's what it reminded me of too,
Like I'm not a last shit but yeah, I actually
I just rewatched. It's not my favorite, but it is good.
It's it's worth the rewatch. We got to talk about
movies and shit too. But but the midnight sun was
fucked and and so I went out for a few
nights in Bergen and people were partying till five in
(25:41):
the morning. It was a lively city. The plate it
had everything. It had the social element, the nature, the beauty,
and it was unbelievable. I really really miss Norway. And
then how was that I had a great time in
What was it? What was your food experience?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I didn't. I wasn't too advant interest with the food.
But there were these things called like reindeer hot dogs.
You could like try reindeer hot dogs. It's like a
very popular thing out there in Norway. I tried it.
It was actually very good.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I tried wait time time, time time out, timeout, time out,
time out?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Brother? What yeah, right, a reindeer? Reindeer? Have you had reindeer?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Is reindeer real thing? Have you ever tried? Rain? I
swear to god, they have like reindeer hot dogs, Like
they're like Dodger dogs. They're like giant hot dogs. People
line up for them. They were actually really really good.
I tried whale, I tried reindeer. I tried all sorts
of it was I went in fucking Norway man, but
it was, uh, it was fun. And yes, actual reindeer.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
And I didn't even know that reindeer and there was
an actual animal.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I thought that was like Santa Claus. No, there, that's
real rein Yeah, I know it's not. I mean, yeah,
I was eating fucking Rudolph over there. But it's it's
an actual reindeer, but it was actually very tasty. And
and then I did some crazy feel like I went
through the fjords out there, what is that? And and
took this it's like these mountains that are like there's
(27:09):
like a water in between these fucking mountains and and
I mean, I don't I don't know how to describe it,
but it was absolutely breathtaking. It was amazing. Went on
this little cruise a lot of trains, and then my
friend ended up leaving, and then me and my friend Bobo,
we flew to Amsterdam for three days. We were this
close to extending for another couple of days because I
(27:30):
was out there and I'm like, I don't need to
be bad. I mean, the only reason I need to
be back is really my cat, Pablo, who was staying
at my parents, uh for the two weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're gonna we're not gonna We're not gonna get no, no, no,
we're not gonna let Pablo ruin ruin the trip. We're
not gonna let Pablo ruin your trip. Live your life, man,
Fucking that cat. It's great.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Definitely, your parents.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Are looking after him, like, we're not gonna let Pablo
bring you back from Europe and sit here and just
be like, yeah, that's that's cool. Like you're so loving,
you're so caring, you're so loving, so caring, you couldn't
give me an affirmation.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
But you'll leave Europe to be with Pablo. That's that's
one hundred.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Well, that's not fucking cool. That's not cool.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm sorry, man. I love that cat more than more
than fucking everything. But I I realized that he was
fine at home with my parents. He was doing great actually,
and I was like, fuck it, I'm gonna I got
no reason to be back. I should just extend. But
it didn't work out. But I did have a kind
of a crazy time in Amsterdam. It wasn't my favorite,
like I said, it was definitely my least favorite, but
(28:29):
there's some beautiful parts and and that was fun too, Podcas.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
So what did you get into? Is there gambling?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Is it weed?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Well, now weed is legal everywhere, so it's not like
so much. That's that's yeah. I know, it's like, you know,
I didn't go to Amsterdam for like I'm going in
the coffee shops and I'm smoking.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Because that's what everyone does. I mean, now it's legal everywhere,
so it's kind.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Of like ha ha, we got it also, And so
I went in there with my friend Bobo, and I
ordered a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and there's you know, uh,
vending machines with rolling paper and all sorts of shit.
And we smoked in there, and it was a cloud
of smoke from everybody else, and my friend Bobo started
getting really anxious and he just he just went quiet
for like thirty minutes at the table, and I'm like, you, good, bro,
(29:29):
and I'm just kind of sitting and he's like yeah,
like just disassociating for thirty minutes. And I'm like, oh, fuck,
Like we should get out of here. And so we
ended up leaving and walking around the streets at one
in the morning, and you know, there's fucking chocolate on
every corner and Nutella this and Oreo that, and it's
dangerous for taurists because you smoke a little weed and
you just want to eat fucking everything. But but it
(29:51):
was it was like Disneyland out there. And then you know,
we explored the Red Light District, which was very overwhelming
and interesting. Is it really like what I Yeah, it
was unlike anything I've I've ever experienced or seen. We're
just kind of taking it in and and you know everyone, yeah,
the girls have like they're in the windows and they're
(30:11):
cat calling you, and it was it was packed with
tourists and like one in the morning, but it was
that was an interesting experience seeing me in.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
A second you're literally walking down the street like that's
like a real thing.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh yeah, like alleyways and then the main streets like
it's crazy. But that, yeah, that was an experience. And
that was it.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
It was you know, I'm not diving too everything, but
it was. It was an incredible time and it really
made me. I don't know, I just I came back
here and and you know, obviously it's depressing coming back
when you're coming back from Europe or an amazing trip,
and you know, I'm finding my routine out here and
doing things out here. But I do miss it a lot,
and and I kind of just have this new perspective
(30:53):
of like, you know, I don't want to wait for
anybody to travel. And you know, my friends all we
could do it in three months from now, do it here,
do it there. I'm just like, fuck it, I I
want to experience, you know, solo travel. I want to
be able to. I'm a little nervous about it, but
I've been considering, you know, doing Costa Rica or going
to Switzerland. I know someone out in Switzerland, and so
(31:14):
I just I don't know. I liked that lifestyle of
traveling by train and just experiencing all by yourself. But
you did some solo traveling when I I remember when
I kind of first met you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I mean I did it by proxy because I went
with my friends to Argentina and it was like, yeah,
four or five days, and then you know, I was like,
I'm not going to come all the way down here
just for four or five days, and they had to
leave and and you know, I stayed in Argentina by myself,
and then I went down, you know a little bit
in South America. I was going to go to Brazil,
(31:44):
which I've never been to Brazil. I've always wanted to
go to Brazil, Brail.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
It's a different flow.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
You know. It was definitely before phones, so you're you
can be a little bit more connected if you want
to be. But then we just talked about not having
the phone, but just as a safety device, you know,
say you're feeling because you feel alone, Like you know,
there was some meals in Argentina that I distinctly remember.
I mean some good meals where I was like, you know,
(32:09):
you just feel like you wish you can be like damn,
this is good, Like you what do you think? You
know that part is haur But then you also have
that memory and that you built up a sort of
self confidence and you built up it's probably self confidence
you built up like a you know, like a sort
of relationship with yourself and relationship with being by yourself,
(32:30):
which is kind of dope, you know. So I mean,
if you seem to have that spirit of you know,
wanting to go out and wanting to do things, you
should do it. Maybe you don't start with, you know, Switzerland.
Maybe you go to I don't know, Costa Rica, which
I've never been there too. Where you go to like
you do like I don't know, you know, North Dakota.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
You know, you're fucking Hawaii or Washington or Canada or whatever.
I mean, yeah, I don't have to start crazy, but
but I do hear that it is a little nerve
wracking at first, but once you do it, I hear
it's very should get in the friend is doing it
and you know, and also you like, you know. The
thing that I really found that was made it easier
for me was this one.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I was heavy into my photography, like you know, you
kind of have your camera like and you're kind of like,
I'm gonna shoot photos, you know, all this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Like that kind of helped me.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I remember not feel so alone, you know, because you're
sort of doing something, or you're you're attempting to do something,
and because you like the videography and all that stuff,
that might be something, but you should do it because
there's no reason to wait in three months, because you
ain't gonna go you know, three months certain.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
You're right to go in with something like with an objective,
whether you're creating content. And that was the other thing
was I went to on this trip. I didn't bring
my camera, but I was like, fuck, I should have
brought my camera. But I really was on my phone
getting a ton of content, and I was shocked at
how amazing the iPhone camera is. I was videoing everything
(33:58):
in sixty frames a second, slowing it down, and you
couldn't tell the difference. Really looks amazing, really amazing. That's
cool question. I was like, fuck it, I don't need
to bring a camera. Yes, brood question.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
I know we're in a theme of not being on
our phone so much. I know we're on a theme
of you know, not posting, not social media, and you know,
just being more president in general.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You know, that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I'm like one of those people that doesn't have a
phone and doesn't bring a phone. However, I did notice
that you posted one selfie and you just said how
good your camera was working. And I know it was
a selfie? Was it was a picture out of all
the pictures you took? Is there a reason why you
chose that picture? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you, like, Yo,
(34:42):
you look I told you earlier in this podcast. You
look great, hair looks good, the shirt looks good. But
you posted that picture and I'm like, hmm, this is
the picture you want to go with for Europe on
like this is this is I'm in Europe.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, what what problem do you have with the picture
that that I posted? It's a famous location in Copenhagen.
I just was like, you didn't look special and just
the framing of the photo wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
But I'm just thinking, especially because you're saying how good
your iPhone works and how good your iPhone camera, how
you got that puppy work?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
If you why would you choose that selfie? Like it
was like, wasn't a boat? I thought it was. I mean,
it wasn't really a selfie. But I thought that was
a good picture. But I mean, you're you're kind of
the only person who's, uh, who's still talking about that photo.
I mean, we posted that a week ago, and you're
you're really thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I just I just I just saw it because I'm
just back on social media and I'm just bring it
up because you're saying how good your camera worked and
how I.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Oh, yeah, I was talking about video video and all that.
But yes, I listen, I like the photo. I thought
the photos I got out there, I was very happy with.
I was on top of a church. Yes, is there
a reason why you chose that photo and not some
of the other I thought that was a good picture.
I thought I was.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I thought that was a solid picture, fine picture like it,
but it could have been. It's a fine picture. It's
a fine picture.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
But you know what, You're not going to please everybody.
I'm not going to please you, I gotta go with
my instincts and go, I like, listen, I like the photo,
I like where I was at. I post what I like.
I'm not gonna let your opinion dictate what I'm posting
if anyone else is saying it.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But what was the respect me unless it was like something?
The people go, I don't think there was a mean
in Europe this photo? Yeah, get us like you're in Europe.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Come on that.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, it's fine, And they're like, is it a sneaker at?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I mean, it's fucking What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I'm fucking sitting. I mean, what what can you do?
Where are put the photo back up?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Again?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Hold on? Like where are you looking? We know you're
getting your photo ticket? Why are you looking to the right?
Are you trying to listen?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
My friend just started snapping. He started snapping. I was looking.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I'm just too what's down there? And like, I mean why, yes,
I'm just saying like I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You want me to delete it?
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Now you're not gonna, I said, Am I going to
find you and delete the goddamn bill? Please don't delete.
You're trying to shit on my fucking euro trip. No,
you're trying to ruin the whole fucking thing by saying, oh,
why'd you post that photo? Just move it along, double
tap it or don't double tap it. I don't need
the commentary. And this is also why we don't need
you to comment on everything. Nobody needs the comments on everything,
(37:19):
which is why we're happy that you're taking a step
back from the phone because I don't need this. I
don't need to second guess. I don't need any of that,
because that's a hater at the end of the day. No,
that might just be a hater. It is not like
I said, you look like shit.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I just you were sitting here pontificating about what you saw,
and then on my phone and yo, yes, because I
didn't bring my camera, I really got my iPhone working.
And it's amazing that the iPhone could do this that.
And while we were talking about the video, I was
talking about video.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I got I got some religious share your whole trip.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
You went this place and that place, You did a
whole tour in trains, and that's the photo you post.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
That's it. Well, we weren't we my friends weren't taking
tons of photos of me. I mean, I got that
one fucking opportunity. I posted a little carousel. I'm posting
just to say, hey, I'm out here. You know, I
hadn't posted in fucking years, and I'm here. Bro, I'm
We're happy living my life. We're happy, Listen, we are happy.
You had a great trip. I will say that personally,
(38:18):
I have been supportive of your travel. Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yes, you know, throughout the years, I'm always supportive about
you know. Uh, you you went to well, I don't
know where, Alaska or something. You went to some other Oregon.
It never been Seattle. Maybe Oregon, yes, yes, Seattle or Oregon. No, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon.
You went to Oregon, right.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
You were up there, right, Okay, So we're always into it.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I just simply a guy can't ask a question about
a photo.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
A guy can't ask a question you already, you already
brought it up to me a week ago. I thought
that ended a week ago. But we're still we're still
thinking about that picture. So you know, I'm happy to
to talk to you about whatever you need to get
off your chest about it. But but but you know,
we're not really thinking about it too hard.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Okay, Okay, all right, but it seems like you work
because you were saying it's fine.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Let's move on. Listen, listen, you're back. Don't don't start,
don't don't end it like this. Don't end it like this.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
We can end it.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Please, don't end it. Excuse me, Excuse me, excuse me, Okay,
excuse We like the positivity in the beginning. We like
the guy who's not on his phone, and for a
guy who's not on his phone, he's fucking analyzing every
goddamn thing on his phone.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Excuse me, excuse me. I'm gonna tell you something. Don't
fuck around with me.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Don't end it like this for me, right, you want
to end it like way street, I'll end it like this.
If you want to end it like that, we can
end it like this. Go back to the mister. Fucking
no phone. I won't call you. We don't have to text,
we don't have to do any of that. I don't
take a little podcast you. How do I reach you?
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
One of the great things that I will say, I
don't know this actor's name that I did see on
social media that seems to have been a big eruption
while I was gone, the actor from the Karate Kids,
Sweep the Lake.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
You know this actor Sweep the Lake. Yes, I'm friends.
I know his son, Jesse Cove. So you're talking about
Martin Cove who bit his co star. What's his name,
Martin Cove, Marty Cove. Did you see this video? Of
course I saw the body cam. My friend is in
the body cam. He's he's defending his dad. Situation time, time,
(40:37):
time time.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You are friends with Marty Cove's son, Yes, Jesse. He
was a great dude, an actor.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
He's great and I love Jesse, and so I've yeah,
I mean, Marty's a legend and and I saw that
though I saw that they were at a convention he
bit somebody time out.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Have you ever been to Marty Cove's house. I don't
think I might have been. I might have went once
when I was young. I mean, we're high school friends.
So I saw him a couple of years ago and
he's he's a good dude. But I don't know if
I might have been there once. Did you meet Sweep
the leg And I don't think i've met I don't
think I met Marty. I don't think I met Marty
but everybody's aware of Marty and the legend that is
(41:17):
Marty Cove. Did do you want to explain the people
this video of Marty Cove sweep the leg from karate
Kid Cobra Kai respectfully.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Well, he was at like a convention, like an autograph
signing convention for Cobra Kai with some of the other
cast members, and I guess there's another cast member named
Alicia something, and they were playing around and he grabbed
her arm and bit her and then she like got
a police officer involved, and there's like body cam and
and she's like, yeah, we don't play like that, and
he's like, oh, I bit too hard and she's like,
(41:50):
you left like a bite mark and and she's like,
we don't play like that. Like I like you, but
this is assault. And he's just standing there like I'm
so already and it's crazy, and the officer is like, yeah, man,
like you don't bite people, Like why did why did
you do that? Like the officer's confused, and Jesse's standing
there and everyone's confused and it was since but the
(42:14):
crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
He looks like he's in the outfit he's in, like
they he's got like the juicy sweatsuit.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know anything. I don't understand
what happened. But he apparently bit down a little too hard. Yo.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I've met everybody, everybody, but there are certain actors that
if I met I would trip out off of. Like
when I met Carl weathers Apollo Creed, the late great
Pollo Creed, and he was also in Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Of course, what did he play in Happy gilmorees? What
is it?
Speaker 4 (42:43):
Chubbs, chubbs.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I was bugging off of him, I mean, maybe bugging
harder off of him than I was off of meeting
Sylvester Sloan. I've met Ralph Macchio, the Great Ralph Macho,
who is actually the karate Kid. But to see sweep
the Leg in real life? Were we have like a
Snoop Dogg thing where we saw the other dude. Yeah,
and we and you met Jesse there his son, but
we saw what's his name.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Zabacazbacabaca, right, We we took like a photo with him
slipping off the Martin. Yeah, Marty, Marty, he pulled that
show no mercy with that bite. He said, show no mercy,
sweep the leg. He was in character which was crazy.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
But and he is looking and to see her tripping
off him, and he's in the sweatsuit and he you know,
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean, he's got to be pushing eighty Marty Cove. Yeah,
I think he is. I think he's almost eighty, which
is crazy. But yeah, you don't go around biting. You
don't lesson from you.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Don't buy your people. We hope you learned his lesson.
You don't buy people, Marty Cove. And you know, sometimes
it's good to show mercy and to just listen because
no means absolutely positively exactly. All right, listen, there's so
many things that we need to talk about. We have
plenty of time. We have plenty of time to talk
about and follow your fitness journey. You have plenty of
(44:02):
more photos, I'm sure in your arsenal, which everybody will like. Yeah,
and not that I'm on social media often because I'm
not on social media the way I used to be.
I feel like I finally saw the magic trick and
got the magic trick. I finally saw the rabbit.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Up to sleep and I'm like, oh shit, okay, this is.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
What goes on here.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
And I'm just scrolling and scrolling.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
We'll start watching some shit. I'm watching the The Ultimatum
Queer Love. I've seen the other season. It is fucking entertaining, man,
and even like the most boring season of Queer Love
is better than the regular season of The Ultimatum.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
So funny you brought funny, you bring that up. Funny,
you bring that up. The Ultimatum Queer Love. We just
started and it is excellent. I love these women, I
love their relationships. And we are just two episodes into
the newest season of Ultimatum Queer Love.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
It's dope. It's dope. You'll like keep watching it.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
It's groundbreaking, and I think it's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I think it's totally relatable and also like just a
great a great way to just show, you know, relationships
or relationships and people are just people. And if you
get on an ultimatum, a love ultimatum, the chips are
going to fall, whether it's queer love, whether it's straight love,
LGBTQ love. Speaking of LGBTQ, a happy belated LGBTQ Pride Month,

I listen, ladies and gentlemen, Dino Casino just off a

Speaker 2 (04:03):
We literally we said two days ago, let's just catch
up on the pocket. Look at you, Look at your hair,
look at your white T shirt. You look magnificent, shooter,
you look great?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Freely? Oh man, are you are you just saying? Are
you just saying that? Would?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I just do you think I ever just ever want
to give you a compliment?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Ever?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
No, When I let me tell you something, my friend
Mia migo deuced paccino, deuce cuddles. When I give you
a compliment, soak it up, soak it up. I am
I'm basking in it right now because the slow pitch
compliments are gonna come, and you know, sooner or later,
probably sooner than later, the overhand rights are gonna they're
(04:47):
gonna drop in there. So if when I'm telling you
you look magnificent, I mean it, my friend.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Thank you man. I mean, you could just keep that coming.
And I'm not looking forward to the to the drop down,
but I'll take it as a as it comes. So
how was your trip? Bro? You were in? First of all,
I just want to start off by saying, Traders, right,
you shot a season of Traders? How does it work?
I mean, I guess you can't really say anything about it.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I can confirm that, yes, I did do Traders. It
was reported that I did Traders. I can confirm that
I can't. The first rule of Traders is you don't
discuss Traders. I was in Scotland. I've talked about the
show many times on this podcast. I've talked about the
(05:33):
show many times on Rapaports Reality. But I can say
and confirm that I can't talk much about it. But
I will say I had an awesome time. I had
a fun time. I had a great time.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
An unforgettable experience. I predict this will be the biggest
season of the show yet. The show's already, you know,
hugely successful and people love it. I predict well, this
will be the most watched season of the show.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I had a ball.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I had fun. It was awesome, it was exciting, it
was totally new, it was unique. It was unlike anything.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I've ever done before.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And to be such a fan of something and then
to do it was I gotta be totally honest without
getting too heavy.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I felt blessed. I felt like it was a blessing.
And I'm gonna explain why.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Because to do something that gives me joy and I
know gives the viewer's joy, and to be a part
of it and also have such a great time doing it.
I had a ball doing Traders, and I had a
great experience, and like I said, I can't. There's a
lot of you know, rules and regulations, as there should be,
(06:51):
and you know, some people are like, well, you know,
it's just this, and what do I say. The reason
why there's rules and regulations is so you, the viewer
at home, when it comes out, you can enjoy it
and not know what the fuck happened.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
So that's why I hear you on that. I do
hear you on that. Bro, I hear you. But can
I mean, can you just tell me off the cuff or.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I tell you off the cuff? There's no no, no, no, no,
no not there's no off the cuff.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
There's no off the cuff.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
This is the I Am Rapaport Stereo podcast, the Worldwide Phenomenon. Okay,
it was reported that I did it. It was reported
that it started, and that's all I said.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
What I just said. I had a.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Fantastic time and I felt lucky to be doing something
that I really enjoy and that I know people enjoy.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Getting back to New York and I literally just got
back here and it is hot. It is super duper.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Hot and me being Michael Rappaport, me being a mister
new York.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
You know this. Wherever I go, people.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Are curious about this, curious about that, curious about you know,
the Knicks. Who's gonna be mayor? Do you want to
be mayor? Do you want to be the Knicks coach?
That's my new thing. People are like, do you want
to be the mayor? Do you want to be the
coach of the Knicks. I'm like, I could do both.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You don't have an option either this that's not presented
to you. No one's asking you to be the mayor,
and nobody's asking you to be the coach of the Knicks.
In fact, I think you're still banned from the stadium
from Mason's Madison Square garden, So there's no there's not
even you're not even a fan of Excuse me. They
won't let you in the building. You won't let you
in the build. Excuse me when I get the audition.
(08:29):
I just got back to New York.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I can't walk five feet without people saying, will you
run for mayor?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Would you be the coach of the Knicks.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I can't walk five feet in New York City right now,
summer twenty twenty five, without people stopping me and asking
me that, I'm like, I gotta go.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
They're like, but what will you do? Will you run
for mayor?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Mike crap? I don't. Nobody's nobody's asking you to run
for mayor. And if you ran for mayor, you would
burn that fucking piss hole into the ground. It's already
so shitty out there, I feel like in New York.
But you would really ruin it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You you watch your you would ruin You watch your
fucking mouth, man, You watch your fucking mouth. You worry
about the greatest city on the planet, You watch your
fucking trap.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Okay, keep it. But a lot of people have been
calling me about this Traders thing, because I have so
many people that have texted me saying I've followed Michael
like his whole career. This is probably the coolest thing
that he's been a part of, and they want to
know about it. I know there's some Bravo people involved.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I don't you know anything about anything about anything? Who
was involved about none of it. I know nothing about nothing.
I said what I said, and I'm sticking to what
I said. I ain't getting caught up in no honey
trap from you. There's no off the cup. There's just
no share with the listeners. I adore the listeners of
the Iron rap Port Stereo podcast. I have missed recording
(09:52):
the Iron rap Ports Stereo Pockets. I missed you, Shooter
to see you in the front of you with the
hair and the curtains hanging down.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Do you like the curtains or should I? Should I
go for a buzz cut? Should we go back to Spike?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No, this is really young kids are doing. And you
look like a young kid. You're pushing forty, but you
look like a young kid, and this.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Is what you should be doing. This is the look.
And when I was in Europe, I swear to God
and I'm not trying to gasp myself up about looking young,
but I was getting carted at so many fucking bars
and dancing places. They literally were like they thought I
was twenty five. So I might just move there just
for an ego boost at this point, but I'm bummed
(10:32):
that we didn't meet up. Well, you were in Europe
and I was in Europe, because we could have. We
could have had a real party out there together.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Is Scotland considered Europe.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Shit, I shouldn't know?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah right, no, maybe it's I mean, you're mister Europe.
Is Scotland considered your up?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, it's definitely Europe. It's definitely Europe. I mean, I'm
a British citizen, because I know I'm a British citizen,
but I don't know with all that Brexit shit, if
it's still considered Europe. It's considered Europe, though, how do
you know? Because I know, let me and you want
me to look at up?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Can let maybe google it?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Maybe break the rule number one in the iron Wrapped
Port stereo podcasts. Uh no, fact checking not to be
confused with rule one of traders is don't talk about traders.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Scotland is a country that is a part of the
United Kingdom. It contains nearly one third of the United
Kingdom's land area.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So wait, wait, wait, wait wait If Scotland is a
part of the United Kingdom, does that make it part
of Europe?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yes? Yeah, because the United Kingdom is a part of Europe.
You're sure about? Like England is in Europe? One hundred percent? Okay,
one hundred percent? Well I could be totally wrong. I
just I'm like, I'm confident with what I'm saying, and
I hope nobody questions it. But no, no, you're definitely questioned.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You're You're going to get questioned if Scotland is part
of Europe or not, and especially how confident you are
with your answer.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're good. I hope you're right. I hope I'm fuck man,
I hope I'm right too. Europe is arop of countries.
That yeah, there's tons of fucking countries. It's not like
you say, I'm going to Europe and that's just like England.
It can be. I mean, there's so many different countries
in Europe. But this isn't a history class. And I'm
not a fucking history made no shit. You don't ask me,
no shit, You're not a Can you name all the
(12:16):
continents North America, South America, Africa? Mm hmm, Europe? You
got it? Europe? Yep? I said that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
And then there's a big one to the right of it,
which is like you got.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
That one, it's huge. What's that one? You? I think
you have like three left Hawaii. No, that that's not it? No, no, no, no,
hold on, fuck are you talking about? Hold on? Hold on?
Hold on?
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It's North America, South America, I got those, Africa.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Europe, mhm, and what and what Asia?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Asia, Asia, Australia, Australia, I forgot that one.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And Antarctica and Antarctica.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
See those are the ones I haven't been to.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Podca. I will tell you this because I want to
talk about me and then talk about your European tour.
I did not have a phone, and I will tell
(13:34):
you probably the best part of my experience, outside of
the actual doing the experience, which I can't discuss, was
not having a phone. Now, while I didn't have my phone,
and while I was withdrawing from my I don't know,
thirteen fourteen year addiction. I'm an addict a phone. You
(13:58):
were detoxing, brother, When I tell you I was detaiped
for real, bro, I'm telling you. When I tell you
that I was detoxing from the phone and detoxing from
the swiping and detoxing from the social media.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I mean it. I mean it was. It was not easy.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
But I am now officially, since I've been back in
New York and I just getting here, just getting my
feet back. When I was given my phone, and since
I've had my phone, I'm now one of those people
that doesn't use a phone. I have spent the last
few days like I gotta be honest, you know who
you're talking to.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I love social media. I enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I get off on it, the good, the bad, the highs,
the lows, the thrills of the victory, the agony of defeat,
all of it. It's a dirty, dirty sport. But I've
played it non stop for we don't know how many years.
But I got to tell you, when you get that
withdraw from the phone and you start looking at it,
(15:04):
it hits differently. It's not as dope or not as dope.
A meanish, I wasn't getting that rush. I wasn't getting
that m that I have gotten before. Because now when
I'm looking at Twitter, now, when I'm looking at Instagram, now,
when I'm looking at you know, face Bizzle, now when
I'm looking at TikTok, I see how they sort of
(15:25):
get you the redundancy. And I don't need to sit
here and dwell in the fact that the Knicks don't
have a coach and the mayor's race is what it
is like, you see it, You get the news and
you move on.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And I gotta be.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Honest, I don't know what to do with myself. But
I am now one of those people who says, oh,
I don't have my phone with me.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's sick. I don't even recognize this person. I'm just
like taking aback by everything that you're telling me. And
I think it's great because we've talked about it in
the past, and I know that you're on your phone
heavily with news. You're very spoken.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Yes, no, keep going, keep complimenting.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I'm waiting. Oh I thought you were raising the heat
of question.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Keep complimenting me, Keep complimenting me.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yes, yes, yes, oh I see yes, no. And I
know that you're very outspoken. You need, you feel the
need to comment on a lot of things. People like
to hear your opinions on a lot of things. But
we've talked about how you know, even if you're consuming
puppy videos and love and happiness every day, that's still
an addiction that you're getting all this stuff. But if
(16:29):
you're looking at Instagram and Twitter for the news and
all the horrible shit that's been happening in the world,
and you're consuming that daily, it is one hundred percent,
whether you know it or not. Taking a toll on
your mental health, and I think everybody should take a
step back from social media, you know, deactivate every now
and again. But I think it's great that you're doing
it now.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
You have judged me, You have brought my phone addiction,
like so many other people, to my attention. You've shamed
me even before I've realized that I have an addiction.
The thing that I'm trying to figure out now that
I'm one of those people that's not on the phone
all the time, is what do you do with yourself now?
Because in twenty twenty five, when you don't have a phone,
(17:11):
I gotta be honest, it is pretty fucking boring, and
I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, you can't expect other people to be as hip
or as evolved as I am. Now.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm hip, I'm evolved. I don't use a phone all
the time. I ration out my phone time. But when
I'm sitting with other people and they're.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Just like scrolling and flipping and they're just all.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Consumed, I feel like, number one, should I be sitting
with that person? Number two, I'm judging them, like you
fucking loser, You're strung out, You're and.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
That was you like five days ago.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Hey, hey, motherfucker, I'm past that now. I'm evolved now.
But since you're okay, what Dean.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
No, I hear you though, Yeah, But what I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Ask you in twenty twenty five, since you're so like
in control over your phone use, I was, what do
you do? Because people like, well, read a book, and
I'm like, I didn't read books before phones.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Why would I get into reading now?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I didn't read books before the iPhone?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So what now? What now? What do you do? I'm
trying to also the same thing, Like I haven't really
been on Instagram much like I just think it's I
don't know, I think it's so fucked for like mental
health and shit, I don't I don't feel the need
to be like posting all the time on there. But
I've tried to step back from my phone also and
lean into you know, I've been more creative lately, Like
(18:31):
I've I've I started playing music again, writing music again,
playing guitar. Lean into your hobbies. I'm trying to get
into the gym again. I mean, I've gone to the gym,
but I'm looking into getting a personal trainer. I really
need a personal trainer. I don't know if you if
you've been in that boat. But it's hard for me
to motivate myself. So I'm looking to I'm looking to
get jack, bro. I'm looking to get these muscles going.
(18:53):
My arm's bigger, and I want a trainer, like twice
a week somewhere in West Hollywood. Nice. Well, what do
you think about that? I think you should try to
get yourself jacked up? Brother. I say, you get yourself
going to PT that's what they call them.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Get yourself a nice personal trainer, Okay, one that doesn't
talk too much because you don't want to get wrapped
up with these people.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
No, because you know that's a thing, you get wrapped
up with them.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I liked when you're going to the classes and all
that stuff. But I say, you get yourself jacked to
the max.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Brother. Summer's just starting. I mean we'll work at the
end of June here, but we're starting in July. But
and it's always good not to talk about it. And
I don't want to talk about it either. I just
want to let you know that I'm interested. I'm gonna
be looking exploring into personal trainers. By I gotta let
the results you know, show the work here, so.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
The results speak for themselves, speak for itself, right right,
I listen, I support you getting a trainer. I support
you getting jack up. Brother, get yourself. You and I
should both do it. Bro.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Maybe I'll come to New York. We'll do a little
training session together. We got to get back in it.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
No problem, man, not a problem at all. So okay,
So I'm not in the music.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I get it. I know. Are you a reader? Are
you a reader? No, I'm not. I'm no. My eyes
are fucked. I've been actually going to the eye doctor
because my eyes are so fucked. I got to get
some like prism glasses and all sorts of shit. It's
just for reading because I like it's whatever. But no,
I really I'd like to get into reading. But I've
been journaling a lot. I've been doing a lot of
random shit, like trying to be a little bit more creative.
(20:19):
But I've been journaling, writing out my thoughts. I actually
I like manifested for the first time in my life,
where you put affirmations down on paper. There was some
full moon that happened the other day. The other night.
You light a candle, you put all your affirmations down
on paper, and then you pour water into a jar,
and you put the affirmations underneath the water jar, and
(20:41):
you put it under the moonlight all night, and then
the next morning you drink the water like you are
drinking the affirmations. I never really done anything like that,
but but I did it, and I sat with in
candle lit by myself, and I did my affirmations and
I drank.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
The moon juice or the moon water the next day,
and it felt good.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You just be doing spiritual stuff, and yeah, bro, we're
just trying to get into our spiritual put any affirmations
for me?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Were you? Like?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I hope this for Mike wrap shit, I mean I didn't.
I did it for like, well, my friends, my family. No,
I'm asking she and your affirmation about you.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I know.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, you didn't do any now one affirmation for me.
And it was like a whole page. I was actually
I flipped it over because I had more affirmations. I
realized I totally forgot. Well there you fucking go, asshole,
there you fucking go, there you fucking go. You fuck about.
You got to make your own affirmations, man, it's not
my respect. Just said you did one for your friends
(21:40):
and your family. You couldn't hook me up with like
one affirmation.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
And drink it.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You were a part of that, I said. I said,
I wanted everybody to be healthy and happy, and you were.
You weren't.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Man, you could give me something a little bit more specific,
all right on the next full moon.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I got you, bro, I got you. Okay, Listen, people
have hit me up? Where have I been? I know
people have hit you up?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Where's my crap?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
But the thing that everybody wants to know is Dino
Casino in Europe twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Where'd you go? What did you see? What happened?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
How was your twenty twenty five European vacation?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
My friend, twenty twenty five euro trip was honestly amazing.
I really needed it. It was I got to disconnect.
I saw some beautiful, beautiful places, just had a nice reset.
I met some great people out there also. So now
I've got a couple friends out in Norway and in Copenhagen,
which is cool. But I went to I started off
(22:40):
in Copenhagen in Denmark. I flew from lax to Philadelphia.
I almost missed the layover. I was running to the plane,
I made it and I landed in Copenhagen. I stayed
in a hostel for three days with some friends, and
Copenhagen was beautiful. It was It was kind of similar
because I did Amsterdam and it was all these places
(23:00):
I'd never been to. But Copenhagen was sort of similar
to Amsterdam in the sense that it has all these
beautiful canals. But Copenhagen was a lot more vibrant and saturated,
and the buildings were colorful, and it was clean and
the people were cool. But when I got to Amsterdam,
it was a lot more muted and dirty. And Amsterdam
was kind of my least favorite. I mean, there was
there was like guys pissing in the canals when I
(23:23):
went through like canal I was going through like canal
tours and you just see people like with their dick out,
just pissing, and I mean, it's disgusting. But that was
kind of a crazy place. But no, Copenhagen was was amazing.
Did a bunch of stuff out there, and then we
flew to Norway, and Norway was just absolutely breathtaking and
(23:44):
the nature is it city is well. I went to
this city called Oslo, only for the day and the night,
and I met up with some friends out there, and
I really regretted not extending that trip because that was
so much fun and kind of like some people took
me to like some local hidden gems and and we
had a really good time there. And then we took
(24:05):
this scenic train from Oslo to a city called Bergen,
and it was about almost an eight hour train ride,
one of the most scenic in the world. It was
kind of the whole reason I went out there for
this train ride, and and it was beautiful. And then
we get to this place called Bergen, and it's like
this kind of fishing boating town, like little village with
(24:25):
colorful houses, and it sort of seems sleepy and it's
beautiful nature. But I was shocked at how much of
a party city this place was. People were. And to
give you context, the sun doesn't go down, which I'm
sure you experienced in Europe. There's this thing called the
midnight sun where it just it literally doesn't go down,
(24:46):
so at one in the morning it's still fucking light out.
It gets to be kind of twilight where it's it's
kind of dusk, and that's as dark as it gets
and then it just gets light again.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I'm not with it, like it's cool to pass through it,
but it like it threw me off, and I'm again too.
We're not sure if I was in Europe or not,
because I was in Scotland, and we're not sure if
Scotland is actually Europe or not.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
But in Scotland they.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Have that weird light and it is bizarre. It is
bizarre when you're trying to sleep, and I mean, it's
it throws you. It reminded me of that movie.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What was it, Christopher Nolan movie? Yeah, but you know,
and Robin Williams, that's what it reminded me of too,
Like I'm not a last shit but yeah, I actually
I just rewatched. It's not my favorite, but it is good.
It's it's worth the rewatch. We got to talk about
movies and shit too. But but the midnight sun was
fucked and and so I went out for a few
nights in Bergen and people were partying till five in
(25:41):
the morning. It was a lively city. The plate it
had everything. It had the social element, the nature, the beauty,
and it was unbelievable. I really really miss Norway. And
then how was that I had a great time in
What was it? What was your food experience?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I didn't. I wasn't too advant interest with the food.
But there were these things called like reindeer hot dogs.
You could like try reindeer hot dogs. It's like a
very popular thing out there in Norway. I tried it.
It was actually very good.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I tried wait time time, time time out, timeout, time out,
time out?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Brother? What yeah, right, a reindeer? Reindeer? Have you had reindeer?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Is reindeer real thing? Have you ever tried? Rain? I
swear to god, they have like reindeer hot dogs, Like
they're like Dodger dogs. They're like giant hot dogs. People
line up for them. They were actually really really good.
I tried whale, I tried reindeer. I tried all sorts
of it was I went in fucking Norway man, but
it was, uh, it was fun. And yes, actual reindeer.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
And I didn't even know that reindeer and there was
an actual animal.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I thought that was like Santa Claus. No, there, that's
real rein Yeah, I know it's not. I mean, yeah,
I was eating fucking Rudolph over there. But it's it's
an actual reindeer, but it was actually very tasty. And
and then I did some crazy feel like I went
through the fjords out there, what is that? And and
took this it's like these mountains that are like there's
(27:09):
like a water in between these fucking mountains and and
I mean, I don't I don't know how to describe it,
but it was absolutely breathtaking. It was amazing. Went on
this little cruise a lot of trains, and then my
friend ended up leaving, and then me and my friend Bobo,
we flew to Amsterdam for three days. We were this
close to extending for another couple of days because I
(27:30):
was out there and I'm like, I don't need to
be bad. I mean, the only reason I need to
be back is really my cat, Pablo, who was staying
at my parents, uh for the two weeks.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're gonna we're not gonna We're not gonna get no, no, no,
we're not gonna let Pablo ruin ruin the trip. We're
not gonna let Pablo ruin your trip. Live your life, man,
Fucking that cat. It's great.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Definitely, your parents.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Are looking after him, like, we're not gonna let Pablo
bring you back from Europe and sit here and just
be like, yeah, that's that's cool. Like you're so loving,
you're so caring, you're so loving, so caring, you couldn't
give me an affirmation.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
But you'll leave Europe to be with Pablo. That's that's
one hundred.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Well, that's not fucking cool. That's not cool.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I'm sorry, man. I love that cat more than more
than fucking everything. But I I realized that he was
fine at home with my parents. He was doing great actually,
and I was like, fuck it, I'm gonna I got
no reason to be back. I should just extend. But
it didn't work out. But I did have a kind
of a crazy time in Amsterdam. It wasn't my favorite,
like I said, it was definitely my least favorite, but
(28:29):
there's some beautiful parts and and that was fun too, Podcas.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
So what did you get into? Is there gambling?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Is it weed?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Well, now weed is legal everywhere, so it's not like
so much. That's that's yeah. I know, it's like, you know,
I didn't go to Amsterdam for like I'm going in
the coffee shops and I'm smoking.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Because that's what everyone does. I mean, now it's legal everywhere,
so it's kind.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Of like ha ha, we got it also, And so
I went in there with my friend Bobo, and I
ordered a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and there's you know, uh,
vending machines with rolling paper and all sorts of shit.
And we smoked in there, and it was a cloud
of smoke from everybody else, and my friend Bobo started
getting really anxious and he just he just went quiet
for like thirty minutes at the table, and I'm like, you, good, bro,
(29:29):
and I'm just kind of sitting and he's like yeah,
like just disassociating for thirty minutes. And I'm like, oh, fuck,
Like we should get out of here. And so we
ended up leaving and walking around the streets at one
in the morning, and you know, there's fucking chocolate on
every corner and Nutella this and Oreo that, and it's
dangerous for taurists because you smoke a little weed and
you just want to eat fucking everything. But but it
(29:51):
was it was like Disneyland out there. And then you know,
we explored the Red Light District, which was very overwhelming
and interesting. Is it really like what I Yeah, it
was unlike anything I've I've ever experienced or seen. We're
just kind of taking it in and and you know everyone, yeah,
the girls have like they're in the windows and they're
(30:11):
cat calling you, and it was it was packed with
tourists and like one in the morning, but it was
that was an interesting experience seeing me in.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
A second you're literally walking down the street like that's
like a real thing.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh yeah, like alleyways and then the main streets like
it's crazy. But that, yeah, that was an experience. And
that was it.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Man.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
It was you know, I'm not diving too everything, but
it was. It was an incredible time and it really
made me. I don't know, I just I came back
here and and you know, obviously it's depressing coming back
when you're coming back from Europe or an amazing trip,
and you know, I'm finding my routine out here and
doing things out here. But I do miss it a lot,
and and I kind of just have this new perspective
(30:53):
of like, you know, I don't want to wait for
anybody to travel. And you know, my friends all we
could do it in three months from now, do it here,
do it there. I'm just like, fuck it, I I
want to experience, you know, solo travel. I want to
be able to. I'm a little nervous about it, but
I've been considering, you know, doing Costa Rica or going
to Switzerland. I know someone out in Switzerland, and so
(31:14):
I just I don't know. I liked that lifestyle of
traveling by train and just experiencing all by yourself. But
you did some solo traveling when I I remember when
I kind of first met you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I mean I did it by proxy because I went
with my friends to Argentina and it was like, yeah,
four or five days, and then you know, I was like,
I'm not going to come all the way down here
just for four or five days, and they had to
leave and and you know, I stayed in Argentina by myself,
and then I went down, you know a little bit
in South America. I was going to go to Brazil,
(31:44):
which I've never been to Brazil. I've always wanted to
go to Brazil, Brail.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
It's a different flow.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
You know. It was definitely before phones, so you're you
can be a little bit more connected if you want
to be. But then we just talked about not having
the phone, but just as a safety device, you know,
say you're feeling because you feel alone, Like you know,
there was some meals in Argentina that I distinctly remember.
I mean some good meals where I was like, you know,
(32:09):
you just feel like you wish you can be like damn,
this is good, Like you what do you think? You
know that part is haur But then you also have
that memory and that you built up a sort of
self confidence and you built up it's probably self confidence
you built up like a you know, like a sort
of relationship with yourself and relationship with being by yourself,
(32:30):
which is kind of dope, you know. So I mean,
if you seem to have that spirit of you know,
wanting to go out and wanting to do things, you
should do it. Maybe you don't start with, you know, Switzerland.
Maybe you go to I don't know, Costa Rica, which
I've never been there too. Where you go to like
you do like I don't know, you know, North Dakota.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
You know, you're fucking Hawaii or Washington or Canada or whatever.
I mean, yeah, I don't have to start crazy, but
but I do hear that it is a little nerve
wracking at first, but once you do it, I hear
it's very should get in the friend is doing it
and you know, and also you like, you know. The
thing that I really found that was made it easier
for me was this one.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I was heavy into my photography, like you know, you
kind of have your camera like and you're kind of like,
I'm gonna shoot photos, you know, all this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Like that kind of helped me.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I remember not feel so alone, you know, because you're
sort of doing something, or you're you're attempting to do something,
and because you like the videography and all that stuff,
that might be something, but you should do it because
there's no reason to wait in three months, because you
ain't gonna go you know, three months certain.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
You're right to go in with something like with an objective,
whether you're creating content. And that was the other thing
was I went to on this trip. I didn't bring
my camera, but I was like, fuck, I should have
brought my camera. But I really was on my phone
getting a ton of content, and I was shocked at
how amazing the iPhone camera is. I was videoing everything
(33:58):
in sixty frames a second, slowing it down, and you
couldn't tell the difference. Really looks amazing, really amazing. That's
cool question. I was like, fuck it, I don't need
to bring a camera. Yes, brood question.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
I know we're in a theme of not being on
our phone so much. I know we're on a theme
of you know, not posting, not social media, and you know,
just being more president in general.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
You know, that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I'm like one of those people that doesn't have a
phone and doesn't bring a phone. However, I did notice
that you posted one selfie and you just said how
good your camera was working. And I know it was
a selfie? Was it was a picture out of all
the pictures you took? Is there a reason why you
chose that picture? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you, like, Yo,
(34:42):
you look I told you earlier in this podcast. You
look great, hair looks good, the shirt looks good. But
you posted that picture and I'm like, hmm, this is
the picture you want to go with for Europe on
like this is this is I'm in Europe.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, what what problem do you have with the picture
that that I posted? It's a famous location in Copenhagen.
I just was like, you didn't look special and just
the framing of the photo wasn't that.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
But I'm just thinking, especially because you're saying how good
your iPhone works and how good your iPhone camera, how
you got that puppy work?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
If you why would you choose that selfie? Like it
was like, wasn't a boat? I thought it was. I mean,
it wasn't really a selfie. But I thought that was
a good picture. But I mean, you're you're kind of
the only person who's, uh, who's still talking about that photo.
I mean, we posted that a week ago, and you're
you're really thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I just I just I just saw it because I'm
just back on social media and I'm just bring it
up because you're saying how good your camera worked and
how I.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Oh, yeah, I was talking about video video and all that.
But yes, I listen, I like the photo. I thought
the photos I got out there, I was very happy with.
I was on top of a church. Yes, is there
a reason why you chose that photo and not some
of the other I thought that was a good picture.
I thought I was.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I thought that was a solid picture, fine picture like it,
but it could have been. It's a fine picture. It's
a fine picture.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
But you know what, You're not going to please everybody.
I'm not going to please you, I gotta go with
my instincts and go, I like, listen, I like the photo,
I like where I was at. I post what I like.
I'm not gonna let your opinion dictate what I'm posting
if anyone else is saying it.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
But what was the respect me unless it was like something?
The people go, I don't think there was a mean
in Europe this photo? Yeah, get us like you're in Europe.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Come on that.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, it's fine, And they're like, is it a sneaker at?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
I mean, it's fucking What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I'm fucking sitting. I mean, what what can you do?
Where are put the photo back up?
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Again?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Hold on? Like where are you looking? We know you're
getting your photo ticket? Why are you looking to the right?
Are you trying to listen?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
My friend just started snapping. He started snapping. I was looking.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I'm just too what's down there? And like, I mean why, yes,
I'm just saying like I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You want me to delete it?
Speaker 2 (36:59):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Now you're not gonna, I said, Am I going to
find you and delete the goddamn bill? Please don't delete.
You're trying to shit on my fucking euro trip. No,
you're trying to ruin the whole fucking thing by saying, oh,
why'd you post that photo? Just move it along, double
tap it or don't double tap it. I don't need
the commentary. And this is also why we don't need
you to comment on everything. Nobody needs the comments on everything,
(37:19):
which is why we're happy that you're taking a step
back from the phone because I don't need this. I
don't need to second guess. I don't need any of that,
because that's a hater at the end of the day. No,
that might just be a hater. It is not like
I said, you look like shit.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I just you were sitting here pontificating about what you saw,
and then on my phone and yo, yes, because I
didn't bring my camera, I really got my iPhone working.
And it's amazing that the iPhone could do this that.
And while we were talking about the video, I was
talking about video.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I got I got some religious share your whole trip.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
You went this place and that place, You did a
whole tour in trains, and that's the photo you post.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
That's it. Well, we weren't we my friends weren't taking
tons of photos of me. I mean, I got that
one fucking opportunity. I posted a little carousel. I'm posting
just to say, hey, I'm out here. You know, I
hadn't posted in fucking years, and I'm here. Bro, I'm
We're happy living my life. We're happy, Listen, we are happy.
You had a great trip. I will say that personally,
(38:18):
I have been supportive of your travel. Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yes, you know, throughout the years, I'm always supportive about
you know. Uh, you you went to well, I don't
know where, Alaska or something. You went to some other Oregon.
It never been Seattle. Maybe Oregon, yes, yes, Seattle or Oregon. No, Oregon, Oregon, Oregon.
You went to Oregon, right.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
You were up there, right, Okay, So we're always into it.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I just simply a guy can't ask a question about
a photo.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
A guy can't ask a question you already, you already
brought it up to me a week ago. I thought
that ended a week ago. But we're still we're still
thinking about that picture. So you know, I'm happy to
to talk to you about whatever you need to get
off your chest about it. But but but you know,
we're not really thinking about it too hard.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Okay, Okay, all right, but it seems like you work
because you were saying it's fine.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Let's move on. Listen, listen, you're back. Don't don't start,
don't don't end it like this. Don't end it like this.

Please, don't end it. Excuse me, Excuse me, excuse me, Okay,

the guy who's not on his phone, and for a
guy who's not on his phone, he's fucking analyzing every
goddamn thing on his phone.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Excuse me, excuse me. I'm gonna tell you something. Don't
fuck around with me.

Speaker 2 (39:57):
One of the great things that I will say, I
don't know this actor's name that I did see on
social media that seems to have been a big eruption
while I was gone, the actor from the Karate Kids,
Sweep the Lake.
Speaker 1 (40:14):
You know this actor Sweep the Lake. Yes, I'm friends.
I know his son, Jesse Cove. So you're talking about
Martin Cove who bit his co star. What's his name,
Martin Cove, Marty Cove. Did you see this video? Of
course I saw the body cam. My friend is in
the body cam. He's he's defending his dad. Situation time, time,
(40:37):
time time.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
You are friends with Marty Cove's son, Yes, Jesse. He
was a great dude, an actor.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
He's great and I love Jesse, and so I've yeah,
I mean, Marty's a legend and and I saw that
though I saw that they were at a convention he
bit somebody time out.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Have you ever been to Marty Cove's house. I don't
think I might have been. I might have went once
when I was young. I mean, we're high school friends.
So I saw him a couple of years ago and
he's he's a good dude. But I don't know if
I might have been there once. Did you meet Sweep
the leg And I don't think i've met I don't
think I met Marty. I don't think I met Marty
but everybody's aware of Marty and the legend that is
(41:17):
Marty Cove. Did do you want to explain the people
this video of Marty Cove sweep the leg from karate
Kid Cobra Kai respectfully.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Well, he was at like a convention, like an autograph
signing convention for Cobra Kai with some of the other
cast members, and I guess there's another cast member named
Alicia something, and they were playing around and he grabbed
her arm and bit her and then she like got
a police officer involved, and there's like body cam and
and she's like, yeah, we don't play like that, and
he's like, oh, I bit too hard and she's like,
(41:50):
you left like a bite mark and and she's like,
we don't play like that. Like I like you, but
this is assault. And he's just standing there like I'm
so already and it's crazy, and the officer is like, yeah, man,
like you don't bite people, Like why did why did
you do that? Like the officer's confused, and Jesse's standing
there and everyone's confused and it was since but the
(42:14):
crazy thing.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
He looks like he's in the outfit he's in, like
they he's got like the juicy sweatsuit.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know anything. I don't understand
what happened. But he apparently bit down a little too hard. Yo.
Speaker 2 (42:26):
I've met everybody, everybody, but there are certain actors that
if I met I would trip out off of. Like
when I met Carl weathers Apollo Creed, the late great
Pollo Creed, and he was also in Happy Gilmore.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Of course, what did he play in Happy gilmorees? What
is it?
Speaker 4 (42:43):
Chubbs, chubbs.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I was bugging off of him, I mean, maybe bugging
harder off of him than I was off of meeting
Sylvester Sloan. I've met Ralph Macchio, the Great Ralph Macho,
who is actually the karate Kid. But to see sweep
the Leg in real life? Were we have like a
Snoop Dogg thing where we saw the other dude. Yeah,
and we and you met Jesse there his son, but
we saw what's his name.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
Zabacazbacabaca, right, We we took like a photo with him
slipping off the Martin. Yeah, Marty, Marty, he pulled that
show no mercy with that bite. He said, show no mercy,
sweep the leg. He was in character which was crazy.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
But and he is looking and to see her tripping
off him, and he's in the sweatsuit and he you know,
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean, he's got to be pushing eighty Marty Cove. Yeah,
I think he is. I think he's almost eighty, which
is crazy. But yeah, you don't go around biting. You
don't lesson from you.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
Don't buy your people. We hope you learned his lesson.
You don't buy people, Marty Cove. And you know, sometimes
it's good to show mercy and to just listen because
no means absolutely positively exactly. All right, listen, there's so
many things that we need to talk about. We have
plenty of time. We have plenty of time to talk
about and follow your fitness journey. You have plenty of
(44:02):
more photos, I'm sure in your arsenal, which everybody will like. Yeah,
and not that I'm on social media often because I'm
not on social media the way I used to be.
I feel like I finally saw the magic trick and
got the magic trick. I finally saw the rabbit.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Up to sleep and I'm like, oh shit, okay, this is.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
What goes on here.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
And I'm just scrolling and scrolling.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
We'll start watching some shit. I'm watching the The Ultimatum
Queer Love. I've seen the other season. It is fucking entertaining, man,
and even like the most boring season of Queer Love
is better than the regular season of The Ultimatum.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
So funny you brought funny, you bring that up. Funny,
you bring that up. The Ultimatum Queer Love. We just
started and it is excellent. I love these women, I
love their relationships. And we are just two episodes into
the newest season of Ultimatum Queer Love.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
It's dope. It's dope. You'll like keep watching it.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
It's groundbreaking, and I think it's just awesome.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I think it's totally relatable and also like just a
great a great way to just show, you know, relationships
or relationships and people are just people. And if you
get on an ultimatum, a love ultimatum, the chips are
going to fall, whether it's queer love, whether it's straight love,
LGBTQ love. Speaking of LGBTQ, a happy belated LGBTQ Pride Month,
