do we start? I was, I was this close. I was,
I was this close to doing an emergency episode last
week when the Puffy the Sean Puff Daddy the Sean
(04:31):
Diddy Comb's trial seemingly came to an end, and I
was like, I just can't do it. I can't talk
about another freak off. I can't talk about baby oh,
I can't talk about what a complete piece of shit
that this guy has turned into. And I don't know
if it's it's it's the buger sugar. I don't know
if it's too much weed, pills, I don't know what
(04:53):
it is alcohol. I don't know what it is. But
once you were caught on videotape beating up women, and
allegedly it wasn't the only or first time that shown
Puffy Comb's Diddy Combs beat up women allegedly, but once
you're caught on tape and it wasn't just like an
(05:15):
incidental contact. He beat the shit out of that girl,
Cassie and you know you want to do freak offs.
Knock yourself out. Not my thing. And I don't know
how the term freak off is now associated with that,
because I've been saying, Yo, I'm freaking off, We're freaking off,
(05:37):
I'm about to freak off for years now. If you
say freak off, you think the Punisher's coming in. Shout
out to my man Charay Hayes, the Punisher, who I
haven't said anything about this, but the Punisher who's now
worldwide talk about worldwide The Punisher, my friend Charay Hayes,
who was on the witness stand. I've known Charat since
I'm thirteen years old. Chrea's a little bit younger than me.
(05:59):
I know, oh Charae, the Punisher from the Puffy Trial,
since I'm thirteen years old, and full transparency, I've known
about some of these stories before he got in trouble,
before there was an indictment, before there was any of
this from my man Charret Man. I gotta get hit.
(06:20):
I gotta get my man Charat on the podcast The Punisher,
the worldwide famous Punisher. He's such a good guy, such
a soft spoken, humble guy that when I found out
he was slinging dick because he's a male stripper, very
successful during the nineties. Extreme he was like the guy.
(06:40):
He was like the Kobe Bryant, the Allen Iverson of
male strippers during the nineties. But when I found out
little Charat from one thirty ninth Street was slinging dick
for a living, I was like Charai quiet as a
church mice. Charay, my guy, Chara. He now they call
(07:01):
him the Punisher. He's slinging dick making thousands upon thousands
of dollars. I'm gonna get him on the podcast because
he's a good guy. He got caught up in a
crazy situation. If you don't know who I'm talking about,
one of the male sex workers from the Sean Diddy
Combs trial went by the nickname the Punisher, and he
(07:24):
actually got that name from playing basketball because he could play.
Sharay could play. He could sling dick, which I've never
seen him do, but I have seen him play ball,
and he was like a physical you know, sort of
what's that my man's name a Mitch Richmond. He kind
of played like a Mitt Richmond style. I'm not saying
he was NBA level, but he was you know he
had that sort of you know, physical step back style. Anyway, listen,
(07:50):
I don't want to go into the minuti the details
of the puffy trial. I'm sure everybody's just baby oiled
out freak off. I'm sure everybody has heard enough about
this guy and this situation for the last few months.
I know I have like sometimes when I hear them
talking about and they say baby oil, baby oil, and
(08:12):
they had cases of boy but I get that baby
oil smell on my nose. Baby oil has a very
distinct old school smell. There's so many lubes that you
could use in twenty twenty five that don't have that
scent like baby oil. Baby oil. It reminds me of
being like at the beach when I was a kid,
before they came out with like, you know, real neutrogena,
(08:35):
banana boat sun blocks, baby oil was something like you
smell the beach. People would be lathered in baby oil
to get themselves bronze. I don't want to hear about
baby oil. I don't want to hear about freak offs.
I don't want to hear about this animal anymore. It's
just crazy that I don't know. I think I don't
(08:56):
know I'm listen, this isn't the judge, Jude. I don't
know the law. I like everybody else, I've been hearing
what Rico is, Rico and Rico. It's not Freco. Rico
is in fact not Freco. And they tried to get
him on Rico charge. It's not freak off charges. But
I just had enough. I just if he gets out
(09:17):
of jail. I believe the sentencing now is in October,
if he gets out of jail. If I'm a woman,
and even as a guy, I'm like, yo, you can
get away with beating the shit out of women and
treating women like that and walk. Not to say that
he did. Listen, he's done a year in jail, almost
a year in jail by October. He'll do a little
(09:38):
bit more. And people do. The criminal system, the law,
the courts, it's all messed up. But this guy is
a piece of shit. Nonetheless, you have that stain on you.
Did he You fuck? You have that stain on you.
You beat women, You beat fucking women, and you're lucky.
(09:59):
You're lucky not going to the big boy yard, because
you know what they would do to you in the
big boy yard. Sean, did he Combs, but apparently allegedly
he's gonna be in jail until October when he will
get sentenced and he could potentially get twenty years. I
don't see that happening. I don't know. I have had enough.
(10:20):
I have had enough. But if I'm a woman and
I see people celebrating this guy free Diddy free, that
whether the sex was totally consensual, whether there's no sex trafficking,
or whether there's no prostitution, the fact that you could
fucking put hands on a woman in such a violent,
intense way and walk free would be would be a
(10:45):
slap in the fucking face. Is the guy a mafia leader?
Of course? Not like I said, the drugs that white,
the powder, the pills powder and pills PP that PP
got the better of him and baby or which they
should just stop making baby oil, Johnson's and what uses.
There's other things, water based lubricants, then baby oil. Why
(11:09):
are they still making baby oil in twenty twenty five?
So there was that, And I'm glad I didn't do
an emergency podcast about this guy. It's really sick. I
gotta tell you. I watched a show on Paramount Plus
called Mobland, starring the great Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, who
(11:33):
is of course James Bond, Helen Mirren. It is I
don't like the title, and I was kind of like, oh,
Mobland is another mob show. Mobland on Paramount Plus is
one of the best TV shows, one of the best
seasons of TV I have seen in a long time. No,
I don't watch everything, but I certainly watch a lot
(11:54):
of these mob shows, these tough guy shows. And this
show is so good, so well done. It builds and
builds and builds and builds. And we have seen the
crime family dramas ever since the Corleone family and beyond,
to the Sopranos, to Walter White, to everything in between,
(12:18):
to every single thing that Martin Scorsese has touched, and
of course Godfather Part two, part three, respectfully, But the
mob drama is something that it's like, we've seen it,
we know where it's going. And this title Mobland, I
was like another one. Mob Land on Paramount Plus is
(12:39):
that fucking Pierce Brosnin Double seven. James Bond is so
good and so whacked out of his tree and so
entertaining and so dramatic and plays such a good socio path.
He must have had a ball doing that show. And
(13:01):
the great Helen Mirran, one of the world's greatest actresses,
talk about a big body of work. Helen Mirran has
been great for decade after decade after decade after decade.
And she plays a character that's even worse than Pierce Brosnan.
And she's a nasty, mean, conniving, vicious, just sociopath. And
(13:25):
the two of them eat up every single scene. It's
so good, so fun. It takes place in Ireland. They're
in Irish, not in the West Side of Manhattan like
the Westies talk about a great crime film State of Grace.
They're in Ireland. And the great Tom Hardy, who's excellent.
He's always good. He's so understated and he really gets,
(13:48):
you know, his sort of masculinity as an actor. He
gets his looks. He understands he doesn't need to do much.
He's got a great face, he's got a great look,
he's got a great brooding you know, Marlon Brando quality,
tough guy, handsome, he's just a movie star. Tom Tom
(14:09):
Hardy is just a fucking movie star that can act.
And if you've never seen Tom Hardy and Bronson, that's
when I first discovered Tom Hardy. Watch Tom Hardy in
this movie Bronson, which I believe came out in like
two thousand and eight. It's based on a true story
about one of the world's worst psychopath killers. He's awesome
(14:30):
in that, and that was his starmaking breakthrough role. He's
awesome in that, and he's been awesome in every single
thing that he's ever done. He's always good, always understated,
and he plays like a Ray Donovan sort of fixer
cleaner for Piers Brosenen and Helen Myron's crime family, the Harrigans.
(14:52):
And I mean, I could go on about the details
and the manushavit, but it's so fucking good, so dramatic,
so funny. And I say funny, it's darkly funny. There
are scenes in that show in Mobland season one, there's
only one season so far where me and my wife
we were just elated. We were elated with joy of
(15:14):
how good it was, how funny it was, how dramatic
it was. The music's good, the pacings good. The pilot
was directed by the great guy Ritchie, who also produced that.
Tom Hardy also produced it, And I just can't give
it too fucking fuck Two fucking thumbs up for Mobland.
It's so excellent, so much fun. Mobland Season one, ten episodes.
(15:40):
I was crying at the end, and I was crying.
My wife was like, why are you crying. I was like,
I wasn't sure, but I was crying because and I
don't want to give any spoiler alerts because it just
came out. I was crying because Number one, it was
so good. It was like I didn't watch something that
just made me feel so excited and so entertained in
(16:03):
so long. It was so good. But also I related
in a sick way. I related to some of these characters,
like even though they're fucked up, even though they're bad guys,
I just love redemption. I always love stories about redemption.
At the end the end of season one Mobland, there
(16:23):
is a little bit of redemption and it ends with
the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil playing and peers.
Brasenin just has his moment again. I don't want to
give it away. He has his moment of redemption under
one of the greatest songs of all time, Sympathy for
the Devil. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a
(16:46):
man of wealth and taste. Do I need to go
back on the mask singer? Do I need to go
back on the mask singer and do a Rolling Stones Night? But,
like I said, the use of language, the dialogue, the acting,
the drama, the humor, the cinematography, the storytelling, all of it,
(17:07):
all of it was just so much fun. So entertaining
a mob Land Season one on Paramount Plus, starring the
great Piers Brosenan, Helen Mirren and the awesome, excellent brooding
badass Tom Hardy. Unless you've been living under a rock,
(17:41):
hiding under a rock, and I don't know why would
you hide under a rock? From me, Michael Rappaport, The
Gringo Man Dingo, Join Me, Join Michael Rappaport, The Iron
Rapport Stereo podcast, The Grino Man Dingo Ak, the Inflamed
Ashkenazi aka the Raging Bullshitter. I'm harmless, But unless you've
been hiding under i rock, you probably know that. In
(18:03):
the last few weeks I have been trying to detox myself,
detox myself from a it's got to be twelve thirteen
year serious phone addiction. Man. When I think about the
amount of time, the amount of hours upon hours which
add up into days upon days upon days, which add
(18:27):
up into weeks upon weeks upon weeks, which unfortunately shamefully
add up into months upon months upon months, which frighteningly
add up to years upon years that I have spent.
The amount of time that I have spent on my
phone is crazy, and I know I am not alone,
(18:50):
but I have been doing my best to try to
withdraw detox from a serious phone slash social media addiction,
which is played out on public My phone addiction, unlike
a lot of people's phone addiction, has played out in
(19:13):
the public eye. You've seen it. And there's been so
many great benefits to my phone addiction. It's not all negative.
So many of my social media moments obviously come from
that phone addiction. And I want to continue playing in
(19:33):
the social media sphere sphere. I'm going to continue playing
in the social media world all these platforms, this platform,
that platform, every single platform. But you have to be
able to control the phone. You can't let the phone
control you. And I don't know if the phone was
controlling me, but it was certainly. And I say this
(19:54):
humbly because I haven't beaten this phone addiction. Because fortunately
I don't have any addiction to any drugs or alcohol
or anything. I've never dealt with an addiction other than
this phone addiction. And I'm really doing this alone. I'm
doing this alone. I think there's groups and all that
stuff for it, but I'm not at the point where
(20:15):
I'm like, I'm gonna go to some sort of group.
But I wouldn't scoff at the idea of going to
some sort of group for my phone slash social media
addiction because it is bad. And I'm fifty five. I
had a good chunk of my life with no phone,
(20:36):
and like I said, so much of my phone addiction
has played out right in front of you, right in
front of you, guys, screaming, the yelling, the hoot and
the hollering, the laughing, the crying. We've done it all
and we're gonna continue to give it to you, rough,
rugged and raw, only as I can do it. But
there has to be limits. The phone, the social media,
the X, the Facebook, the TikTok, the Instagram. It can't
(21:02):
control you. You must control it. The meta. Jeffrey Zuckerberg,
Jeffrey Zuckerberg, you have, man, You've sucked people's lives away
with this phone and the Facebook and all that stuff.
But for the last I say, now, it's like two weeks.
(21:23):
I have been trying to minimize the amount of time
that I'm on my phone and use it and get
everything I can from it, and then be done. Be
done with that fucking phone. It sucks. That phone addiction sucks.
And you know, I've reached out to people in real life.
I've reached out to people on social media. I've reached
(21:43):
out to you guys. I said, what does one do
in twenty twenty five? What does one do in twenty
twenty five when they are not on their phone and
people are giving me wild answers? Somebody was like, oh,
why don't you get yourself a chicksaw puzzle? I was like, what,
fifty I never did it. Listen, I want to get
off the phone, and I want tangible, usable suggestions to
(22:07):
get off my phone. But telling me at fifty five
to start doing jigsaw puzzles, it's crazy that that's not
gonna work. That's not gonna I never did jigsaw puzzles
in my life. Why would I start doing jigsaw puzzles
now in twenty twenty five, at fifty five years old.
I don't like puzzles. Other person was like, why don't
(22:28):
you get a coloring book? I was like, my man,
I had to block that person.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I'm sorry I had to block you on Facebook. I
know your intentions were good, but the person on Facebook
that suggested, instead of being on your phone all day,
why don't you get you some coloring books? I had
to block you.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Man.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Sorry again, I know you were well meaning coloring books.
I'm Michael Rapport. We're talking about phone addiction. You're talking
about coloring books. Coloring books. We're talking about coloring books
for phone addiction. A thirteen maybe fourteen year phone addiction
in twenty twenty five talking to me about coloring books.
(23:06):
I'm not a kindergartener. This isn't the second grade. Other
people like, why don't you take a class? I was
like that ain't a bad idea. That ain't a bad idea.
Why don't you donate your time? I was like, that
ain't a bad idea either, donate my time. That ain't
a bad idea. Somebody said, why don't you like get
a motorcycle and try to refurbish it. I was like, I,
(23:28):
what the fuck? Don't did you even ask? Did you
even ask did you even care to look? If I've
ever driven a motorcycle, why would I start my motorcycle
curiosity by refurbishing an old one? I've never again, well intentioned.
(23:48):
Somebody was like, you know, you know, work on your car.
It's like, I got a BMW, man, it don't need
no work, no disrespect. Again, I know your intentions are
good and your suggestions are coming from the heart, But
I got a BMW. I I don't need to work
on my car. Somebody said gardening. I was like, I've
always wanted to learn how to garden. I would start gardening.
(24:10):
But the thing about all these suggestions, whether it's gardening, coloring,
books puzzles. So many people said, read a book, read
a book, read a book. I'm on my phone eight
nine ten hours a day. I am not ever going
to be a person who reads eight nine ten hours
a day. I didn't read before the iPhone came out.
I didn't read before Blackberries came out. I do not
(24:33):
see myself going into the second half of my great, glorious,
hopefully healthy life being a avid reader. You know, I
just don't see it. I'm not saying I can't do
a little bit more reading. I think it's great, but
so much of the reading that I do is on
my phone and on my computer. But I know a
(24:57):
lot of people, because I've talked about this publicly, and
I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know a
lot of people are struggling with that phone. The first
thing I'll say about the phone is if you are
a work person, a busy person. Because I was talking
to my friend Julie, she said, you know work. I said,
you are a worker, and you need to be able
to get in touch and be able to get in
touch with my friend Julie jay Z respectfully, I said,
(25:20):
got to get one of these puppies, Apple Watch or
some sort of smart watch. I'm not promoting Apple or
Apple watches, but I got an Apple Watch. I'm an
Apple guy. I'm on that phone all the time, screaming, yelling, posting, reading, reading, reading, screaming, yelling, posting, reading, reading, reading, commenting, screaming, yelling, posting, reading, reading, reading.
(25:46):
You've seen it, I told my friend, and I suggest
to people. I said, listen, if you're worried about people
getting in touch with you, if you have young kids,
get yourself one of these puppies. Well they're expect Listen,
you got to pay a couple hundred to fight this addiction,
because this phone addiction is not a joke. But if
you have any other suggestions beside coloring books, putting together
(26:09):
an old refurbished motorcycle, and jigsaw puzzles, please let me know.
I am trying to fight this phone addiction. The problem
is is like I was in my car the other
day and a lot of times in the last I
don't know how many, let's just say ten twelve years.
If you're in your car and you got time to spare,
(26:30):
what do you do? You park? It's not like the
old days. You got to pick your nose and you know,
you know, just find something on the radio station. No,
you're scrolling. You're scrolling, you're reading, you're liking, you're scrolling.
I mean you get caught in loops. I got caught
in a Mexican soolo breakdancing loop. Great dancers, a great
(26:55):
dance style. They're all high up. It's fucking awesome. I
got caught in some sort of TikTok la Mexican cholacholo
dancer and they were breakdancing, and then there was like
this whole old school, and I was like, Yo, these
people are moving and they're having such a good time,
and I'm like, I'm on it, and I'm like, it's
sixteen seventeen, eighteen minutes of this and then the highlights
(27:19):
and the basketball, and then the fantasy football, and then
the politics upon the politics and the phone. It's just
it is eating up so much time from your life.
I know it's eating up so much time from my life.
But if you have any suggestions for me of other
things that you can do in twenty twenty five besides
be on your phone, please let me know. Please let
(27:40):
me know. But it's tough because even when you try
to interact with people, I need to find a group
of people who are also not on their phone. Because
everybody else is on their phone. They're not as evolved
as elevated as I am. Right now, I'm evolved. I'm elevated.
I went for a walk the other day to try
to fight my phone by the river. Own phone. It
(28:01):
sucked that nature, some of the go walking nature. That
nature walk sucked. Being without a phone sucks. I'm coming
off a drug. The drug is social media in the iPhone.
I am withdrawing from that drug it is. It is
ruining people's lives. There's so many great benefits to it.
But if you don't control that phone, it will control you.
(28:22):
So please give me some suggestions podcast what else is
going on? I am Rapports several podcast coming live and direct.
(28:45):
My name is Michael Rapport aka the Inflamed as Gunazi
aka the Grango Man thing Go aka mister New York
aka mister two one two aka mister Dose who Know Dose.
I have to tell you that since I returned from Scotland.
Back from Scotland, walking around the streets of New York,
(29:08):

talk to me about various things. During the playoffs, so
many people were coming up to me to talk to
me about the Knicks. Shout out to Big Mike Brown,
new coach of the New York Knicks, and I said,
I said, if it ain't going to be me and
it ain't going to be Dawn Stanley, I have no
(29:30):
problem with Big Mike Brown. I thought it would have
been sick if the Knicks hired Dawn Stanley, who of
course is the coach of the women's team down in
South Carolina. She's a champion upon champion upon champion. And
I was like, you know what, if there is a team,
if there is a city that is ready in twenty
(29:52):
twenty five for a female head coach in the NBA,
it is the New York Knicks, and that person should
be Dawn Stanley with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Karl Anthony Towns,
and McHale Bridges as the big four of that team,
(30:12):
the core of the four, that team, the essence of
the team. I was like, Yo, if the Knicks wind
up hiring Dawn Stanley, I think it'll work out. I'm
not saying she's the I don't know much about her
as a coach, but it's gonna happen at some point.
I hope. I'm alive to see a female coach in
the NBA. But I was like, these guys, the New
York nerder Bockers, these sweet, chill, hard nos tought, just
(30:37):
good guys that we have playing for the New York Knicks.
Og Antonobi, I was like, these guys are ready. They
would they would respond to any coach. I feel like
these guys will respond to any coach that treats them
with respect and that demands respect, and I was like,
Dawn Stanley could be that person. Obviously it didn't happen
Mike Brown as the coach of the New York Knicks.
But people were coming up to me before they hired
(30:59):
Mike Brown. They say, Mike Rapp, maybe you should be
the coach of the New York Knicks. And I said, well,
if I'm not the coach of the New York Knicks,
i might have to run for mayor. Because walking around
New York City in the few weeks that I've been
back from Scotland, and I got my head up because
(31:19):
obviously I'm not on my phone, every single block, at
least one person will come up to me and be like, yo,
what about this Zoe Ran, What about this Madabi? What
about this Zoe Fran Madonnie? What do you think people
are spooked out about this giggly smiley, bullshit artist Madonnie
(31:47):
Zoe Fran Madonnie as they should be. And I'm going
to tell you this right now, and I'm not gonna
shoot my whole Zoe Fran Madonnie load right now, But
you fake, giggly smiley faced terrorist supporting socialist communist fuck
(32:11):
you are not going to win the election to become
mayor of New York City, still the world's greatest city
in the world. You are not going to become mayor.
New York City is ready to have an African American
mayor and then go from one African American mayor, Mayor Adams,
(32:34):
to another African American guy. But you're not that guy
and you're not African American. You fuck Zoefrian, you bullshit artist,
you cause playing bullshit artist, you smiley faced communist, snake
(32:55):
oil salesman three card Monty promising a bunch of bullshit
that you know you can't ever live up to. And
I'm not gonna shoot my whole Zoe friend Madonni load
right now, but I am going to tell you right
now on this I Am Rapport Stereo podcast the first
(33:19):
few days of July, this fucking Zoe Fran Madonni will
not be the mayor of New York City come November.
I am willing and I'm going to put money on it. Now.
Do we need to respect this fake nice guy three
Card Monty, bullshit artist, communist, socialist, terrorist apologist. Yes, you
(33:43):
need to respect your opponent because this motherfucker Somehow Someway
is running for mayor of the greatest city on the planet,
New York City. Somehow, some way, he was voted in
as the Democratic nominee. So you must respect your opponent.
Curtis Sliwa. I love you, I met you, I respect you.
(34:06):
I respect what you've tried to do for New York.
I respect what you have done for New York. I
respect your point of view. I respect you as a man.
You can't run for mayor. You gotta step down. Curtis Sliwa.
You're not going to win. And I say that with
all due respect. You're not going to win. The stakes
are too high. Stakes is high. Shout out to Da
(34:28):
Las song Cuomo. You fuck you, funk you, you Emmy
Award winning fuck you. You thought you were gonna come
back into politics and be the Democratic nominee. You thought
shit was sweet. You thought you were gonna come in
there with your fucking your hair and your slick So
(34:50):
I thought you were gonna win too. Listen, my wife
was like, this guy's gonna win. I was like, there's
no way Zoe fran is going to win. Okay, there's
no way this tick top bullshit artist is going to win.
I'm telling you he's gonna win. Fucking guy won Cuomo.
You lost, you gotta take that out and hit the
fucking road, Jack And don't you come back no more,
(35:12):
no more, no more, no more. Hit the road, Governor Cuomo.
Matter of fact, hit the road, former Governor Cuomo, And
don't you come back no more? What'd you say? I said,
hit the road, fucking Cuomo? And I say that with
all due respect. It's Mayor Eric Adams versus Zoefrian Madamie.
And I don't think Mayor Adams has done a great job.
(35:33):
But he hasn't been a pile of shit. Do I
think there's things he could do more? Absolutely? Do are
the things that have disappointed me? One hundred and fifty percent?
Has he done some good things? Yes? Did I tell
him to his face that he was a Republican and
Democratic clothes? Yes? Is he from New York? Yes? Is
(35:55):
he from Brownsville and the forty projects of Queens. Is
he a tough heart? Nos? Comp Yes, all these things.
I don't think he's done a great job. I think
there's way more shit that you could have done and
that you need to do, Eric Adams. But this is
the conundrum that New York City is in. You got
Zoe fran the bullshit artist, smiley faced, smiley faced two
(36:22):
bit three card Monty, Giggly TikTok former non rapping rapper.
You ain't no rapper, Zo fran Mo Donnie, you ain't
no rapper. This motherfucker needs to be taken seriously, and
he needs to be taken down. People must vote, People
(36:44):
must vote. You must respect your opponent. And the best
defense is a great offense. And the best offense is
a great defense. And I envision this defense to stop
this bullshit giggly snake Goyle salesman three card Monty fake
promise terrorists supporting communist socialist fuck. This defense is gonna
(37:11):
be anchored down in the middle by the Captain El Capitan,
Patrick Ewing. This defense is gonna be anchored down by
Jim Burt, Lawrence Taylor. We're gonna be throwing heat at
this Modami like Dwight Goodin in the eighties, high and tight,
(37:34):
tight and high all at jadome piece. We're gonna see
Modamie when we're throwing that heat. When we're throwing that
good heat like Doc in the eighties, like Ron Gidrey.
We're gonna see when Mark Gassonow Joe Klecau the New
(37:57):
York Sack exchange that mentality. We're gonna see what you're made.
We're gonna see if you're smiling Modammie when we're coming
at you like Bernard King in nineteen eighties. Okay, Freeman
McNeil stuffing it up the middle, the Big Blue Wrecking
(38:18):
Crew nineteen eighty six. You don't know nothing about this
moment that you're not even from New York, You fuck you,
giggly fuck you. This guy will not even articulate that
global lies. The Intafada means do whatever you can, by
any means necessary, to kill, name and harm Jewish peoples.
(38:41):
You won't acknowledge that you said that words in Arabic
have different meanings to different people. Well, Madami zoefran Madami.
Words in New York slang have different meanings to different people.
You fuck you now. I don't know what this means
to you, you three card Monty bullshit artist, fake New Yorker,
(39:07):
fake African American. You're not African American. You're a snake
oil salesman. You're a three card Monty playing bullshit artist.
You're not gonna be mayor of New York City. We
have to take you fucking seriously. The fact that you're
even here is an insult. That's an embarrassment to New
(39:28):
York the fact that you are even the nominee. A
motherfucker that can't say exactly what it is. You can't
say that globalize the Intafada means kill and attack Jews.
You got some bullshit smile? You're always smoke. What the
fuck are you're smiling about? Why are you so What
the fuck is so funny? You're gigly bullshit artist, fake
(39:50):
nice guy, smiley, dimple cheek. Fuck you, what the fuck
is so funny? If things are so bad in New Yorker,
things are so bad in the United States, why are
you always smiling? Motherfucker? Because you're a bullshit artist. You
smell like a big pile of horseshit on the hottest
(40:12):
of the hot summer days in Central Park, madonmie Zoe
fran Madammie, that's what you smell, like a big pile
of the stinkiest, steaming horseshit sitting there in Central Park.

free housing. What are you gonna do about the horseshit
in Central Park? Zo friand you fuck you bullshit. I
got a lot for you, and we're coming at you

do we start? I was, I was this close. I was,
I was this close to doing an emergency episode last
week when the Puffy the Sean Puff Daddy the Sean
(04:31):
Diddy Comb's trial seemingly came to an end, and I
was like, I just can't do it. I can't talk
about another freak off. I can't talk about baby oh,
I can't talk about what a complete piece of shit
that this guy has turned into. And I don't know
if it's it's it's the buger sugar. I don't know
if it's too much weed, pills, I don't know what
(04:53):
it is alcohol. I don't know what it is. But
once you were caught on videotape beating up women, and
allegedly it wasn't the only or first time that shown
Puffy Comb's Diddy Combs beat up women allegedly, but once
you're caught on tape and it wasn't just like an
(05:15):
incidental contact. He beat the shit out of that girl,
Cassie and you know you want to do freak offs.
Knock yourself out. Not my thing. And I don't know
how the term freak off is now associated with that,
because I've been saying, Yo, I'm freaking off, We're freaking off,
(05:37):
I'm about to freak off for years now. If you
say freak off, you think the Punisher's coming in. Shout
out to my man Charay Hayes, the Punisher, who I
haven't said anything about this, but the Punisher who's now
worldwide talk about worldwide The Punisher, my friend Charay Hayes,
who was on the witness stand. I've known Charat since
I'm thirteen years old. Chrea's a little bit younger than me.
(05:59):
I know, oh Charae, the Punisher from the Puffy Trial,
since I'm thirteen years old, and full transparency, I've known
about some of these stories before he got in trouble,
before there was an indictment, before there was any of
this from my man Charret Man. I gotta get hit.
(06:20):
I gotta get my man Charat on the podcast The Punisher,
the worldwide famous Punisher. He's such a good guy, such
a soft spoken, humble guy that when I found out
he was slinging dick because he's a male stripper, very
successful during the nineties. Extreme he was like the guy.
(06:40):
He was like the Kobe Bryant, the Allen Iverson of
male strippers during the nineties. But when I found out
little Charat from one thirty ninth Street was slinging dick
for a living, I was like Charai quiet as a
church mice. Charay, my guy, Chara. He now they call
(07:01):
him the Punisher. He's slinging dick making thousands upon thousands
of dollars. I'm gonna get him on the podcast because
he's a good guy. He got caught up in a
crazy situation. If you don't know who I'm talking about,
one of the male sex workers from the Sean Diddy
Combs trial went by the nickname the Punisher, and he
(07:24):
actually got that name from playing basketball because he could play.
Sharay could play. He could sling dick, which I've never
seen him do, but I have seen him play ball,
and he was like a physical you know, sort of
what's that my man's name a Mitch Richmond. He kind
of played like a Mitt Richmond style. I'm not saying
he was NBA level, but he was you know he
had that sort of you know, physical step back style. Anyway, listen,
(07:50):
I don't want to go into the minuti the details
of the puffy trial. I'm sure everybody's just baby oiled
out freak off. I'm sure everybody has heard enough about
this guy and this situation for the last few months.
I know I have like sometimes when I hear them
talking about and they say baby oil, baby oil, and
(08:12):
they had cases of boy but I get that baby
oil smell on my nose. Baby oil has a very
distinct old school smell. There's so many lubes that you
could use in twenty twenty five that don't have that
scent like baby oil. Baby oil. It reminds me of
being like at the beach when I was a kid,
before they came out with like, you know, real neutrogena,
(08:35):
banana boat sun blocks, baby oil was something like you
smell the beach. People would be lathered in baby oil
to get themselves bronze. I don't want to hear about
baby oil. I don't want to hear about freak offs.
I don't want to hear about this animal anymore. It's
just crazy that I don't know. I think I don't
(08:56):
know I'm listen, this isn't the judge, Jude. I don't
know the law. I like everybody else, I've been hearing
what Rico is, Rico and Rico. It's not Freco. Rico
is in fact not Freco. And they tried to get
him on Rico charge. It's not freak off charges. But
I just had enough. I just if he gets out
(09:17):
of jail. I believe the sentencing now is in October,
if he gets out of jail. If I'm a woman,
and even as a guy, I'm like, yo, you can
get away with beating the shit out of women and
treating women like that and walk. Not to say that
he did. Listen, he's done a year in jail, almost
a year in jail by October. He'll do a little
(09:38):
bit more. And people do. The criminal system, the law,
the courts, it's all messed up. But this guy is
a piece of shit. Nonetheless, you have that stain on you.
Did he You fuck? You have that stain on you.
You beat women, You beat fucking women, and you're lucky.
(09:59):
You're lucky not going to the big boy yard, because
you know what they would do to you in the
big boy yard. Sean, did he Combs, but apparently allegedly
he's gonna be in jail until October when he will
get sentenced and he could potentially get twenty years. I
don't see that happening. I don't know. I have had enough.
(10:20):
I have had enough. But if I'm a woman and
I see people celebrating this guy free Diddy free, that
whether the sex was totally consensual, whether there's no sex trafficking,
or whether there's no prostitution, the fact that you could
fucking put hands on a woman in such a violent,
intense way and walk free would be would be a
(10:45):
slap in the fucking face. Is the guy a mafia leader?
Of course? Not like I said, the drugs that white,
the powder, the pills powder and pills PP that PP
got the better of him and baby or which they
should just stop making baby oil, Johnson's and what uses.
There's other things, water based lubricants, then baby oil. Why
(11:09):
are they still making baby oil in twenty twenty five?
So there was that, And I'm glad I didn't do
an emergency podcast about this guy. It's really sick. I
gotta tell you. I watched a show on Paramount Plus
called Mobland, starring the great Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, who
(11:33):
is of course James Bond, Helen Mirren. It is I
don't like the title, and I was kind of like, oh,
Mobland is another mob show. Mobland on Paramount Plus is
one of the best TV shows, one of the best
seasons of TV I have seen in a long time. No,
I don't watch everything, but I certainly watch a lot
(11:54):
of these mob shows, these tough guy shows. And this
show is so good, so well done. It builds and
builds and builds and builds. And we have seen the
crime family dramas ever since the Corleone family and beyond,
to the Sopranos, to Walter White, to everything in between,
(12:18):
to every single thing that Martin Scorsese has touched, and
of course Godfather Part two, part three, respectfully, But the
mob drama is something that it's like, we've seen it,
we know where it's going. And this title Mobland, I
was like another one. Mob Land on Paramount Plus is
(12:39):
that fucking Pierce Brosnin Double seven. James Bond is so
good and so whacked out of his tree and so
entertaining and so dramatic and plays such a good socio path.
He must have had a ball doing that show. And
(13:01):
the great Helen Mirran, one of the world's greatest actresses,
talk about a big body of work. Helen Mirran has
been great for decade after decade after decade after decade.
And she plays a character that's even worse than Pierce Brosnan.
And she's a nasty, mean, conniving, vicious, just sociopath. And
(13:25):
the two of them eat up every single scene. It's
so good, so fun. It takes place in Ireland. They're
in Irish, not in the West Side of Manhattan like
the Westies talk about a great crime film State of Grace.
They're in Ireland. And the great Tom Hardy, who's excellent.
He's always good. He's so understated and he really gets,
(13:48):
you know, his sort of masculinity as an actor. He
gets his looks. He understands he doesn't need to do much.
He's got a great face, he's got a great look,
he's got a great brooding you know, Marlon Brando quality,
tough guy, handsome, he's just a movie star. Tom Tom
(14:09):
Hardy is just a fucking movie star that can act.
And if you've never seen Tom Hardy and Bronson, that's
when I first discovered Tom Hardy. Watch Tom Hardy in
this movie Bronson, which I believe came out in like
two thousand and eight. It's based on a true story
about one of the world's worst psychopath killers. He's awesome
(14:30):
in that, and that was his starmaking breakthrough role. He's
awesome in that, and he's been awesome in every single
thing that he's ever done. He's always good, always understated,
and he plays like a Ray Donovan sort of fixer
cleaner for Piers Brosenen and Helen Myron's crime family, the Harrigans.
(14:52):
And I mean, I could go on about the details
and the manushavit, but it's so fucking good, so dramatic,
so funny. And I say funny, it's darkly funny. There
are scenes in that show in Mobland season one, there's
only one season so far where me and my wife
we were just elated. We were elated with joy of
(15:14):
how good it was, how funny it was, how dramatic
it was. The music's good, the pacings good. The pilot
was directed by the great guy Ritchie, who also produced that.
Tom Hardy also produced it, And I just can't give
it too fucking fuck Two fucking thumbs up for Mobland.
It's so excellent, so much fun. Mobland Season one, ten episodes.
(15:40):
I was crying at the end, and I was crying.
My wife was like, why are you crying. I was like,
I wasn't sure, but I was crying because and I
don't want to give any spoiler alerts because it just
came out. I was crying because Number one, it was
so good. It was like I didn't watch something that
just made me feel so excited and so entertained in
(16:03):
so long. It was so good. But also I related
in a sick way. I related to some of these characters,
like even though they're fucked up, even though they're bad guys,
I just love redemption. I always love stories about redemption.
At the end the end of season one Mobland, there
(16:23):
is a little bit of redemption and it ends with
the Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil playing and peers.
Brasenin just has his moment again. I don't want to
give it away. He has his moment of redemption under
one of the greatest songs of all time, Sympathy for
the Devil. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a
(16:46):
man of wealth and taste. Do I need to go
back on the mask singer? Do I need to go
back on the mask singer and do a Rolling Stones Night? But,
like I said, the use of language, the dialogue, the acting,
the drama, the humor, the cinematography, the storytelling, all of it,
(17:07):
all of it was just so much fun. So entertaining
a mob Land Season one on Paramount Plus, starring the
great Piers Brosenan, Helen Mirren and the awesome, excellent brooding
badass Tom Hardy. Unless you've been living under a rock,
(17:41):
hiding under a rock, and I don't know why would
you hide under a rock? From me, Michael Rappaport, The
Gringo Man Dingo, Join Me, Join Michael Rappaport, The Iron
Rapport Stereo podcast, The Grino Man Dingo Ak, the Inflamed
Ashkenazi aka the Raging Bullshitter. I'm harmless, But unless you've
been hiding under i rock, you probably know that. In
(18:03):
the last few weeks I have been trying to detox myself,
detox myself from a it's got to be twelve thirteen
year serious phone addiction. Man. When I think about the
amount of time, the amount of hours upon hours which
add up into days upon days upon days, which add
(18:27):
up into weeks upon weeks upon weeks, which unfortunately shamefully
add up into months upon months upon months, which frighteningly
add up to years upon years that I have spent.
The amount of time that I have spent on my
phone is crazy, and I know I am not alone,
(18:50):
but I have been doing my best to try to
withdraw detox from a serious phone slash social media addiction,
which is played out on public My phone addiction, unlike
a lot of people's phone addiction, has played out in
(19:13):
the public eye. You've seen it. And there's been so
many great benefits to my phone addiction. It's not all negative.
So many of my social media moments obviously come from
that phone addiction. And I want to continue playing in
(19:33):
the social media sphere sphere. I'm going to continue playing
in the social media world all these platforms, this platform,
that platform, every single platform. But you have to be
able to control the phone. You can't let the phone
control you. And I don't know if the phone was
controlling me, but it was certainly. And I say this
(19:54):
humbly because I haven't beaten this phone addiction. Because fortunately
I don't have any addiction to any drugs or alcohol
or anything. I've never dealt with an addiction other than
this phone addiction. And I'm really doing this alone. I'm
doing this alone. I think there's groups and all that
stuff for it, but I'm not at the point where
(20:15):
I'm like, I'm gonna go to some sort of group.
But I wouldn't scoff at the idea of going to
some sort of group for my phone slash social media
addiction because it is bad. And I'm fifty five. I
had a good chunk of my life with no phone,
(20:36):
and like I said, so much of my phone addiction
has played out right in front of you, right in
front of you, guys, screaming, the yelling, the hoot and
the hollering, the laughing, the crying. We've done it all
and we're gonna continue to give it to you, rough,
rugged and raw, only as I can do it. But
there has to be limits. The phone, the social media,
the X, the Facebook, the TikTok, the Instagram. It can't
(21:02):
control you. You must control it. The meta. Jeffrey Zuckerberg,
Jeffrey Zuckerberg, you have, man, You've sucked people's lives away
with this phone and the Facebook and all that stuff.
But for the last I say, now, it's like two weeks.
(21:23):
I have been trying to minimize the amount of time
that I'm on my phone and use it and get
everything I can from it, and then be done. Be
done with that fucking phone. It sucks. That phone addiction sucks.
And you know, I've reached out to people in real life.
I've reached out to people on social media. I've reached
(21:43):
out to you guys. I said, what does one do
in twenty twenty five? What does one do in twenty
twenty five when they are not on their phone and
people are giving me wild answers? Somebody was like, oh,
why don't you get yourself a chicksaw puzzle? I was like, what,
fifty I never did it. Listen, I want to get
off the phone, and I want tangible, usable suggestions to
(22:07):
get off my phone. But telling me at fifty five
to start doing jigsaw puzzles, it's crazy that that's not
gonna work. That's not gonna I never did jigsaw puzzles
in my life. Why would I start doing jigsaw puzzles
now in twenty twenty five, at fifty five years old.
I don't like puzzles. Other person was like, why don't
(22:28):
you get a coloring book? I was like, my man,
I had to block that person.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
I'm sorry I had to block you on Facebook. I
know your intentions were good, but the person on Facebook
that suggested, instead of being on your phone all day,
why don't you get you some coloring books? I had
to block you.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Man.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Sorry again, I know you were well meaning coloring books.
I'm Michael Rapport. We're talking about phone addiction. You're talking
about coloring books. Coloring books. We're talking about coloring books
for phone addiction. A thirteen maybe fourteen year phone addiction
in twenty twenty five talking to me about coloring books.
(23:06):
I'm not a kindergartener. This isn't the second grade. Other
people like, why don't you take a class? I was
like that ain't a bad idea. That ain't a bad idea.
Why don't you donate your time? I was like, that
ain't a bad idea either, donate my time. That ain't
a bad idea. Somebody said, why don't you like get
a motorcycle and try to refurbish it. I was like, I,
(23:28):
what the fuck? Don't did you even ask? Did you
even ask did you even care to look? If I've
ever driven a motorcycle, why would I start my motorcycle
curiosity by refurbishing an old one? I've never again, well intentioned.
(23:48):
Somebody was like, you know, you know, work on your car.
It's like, I got a BMW, man, it don't need
no work, no disrespect. Again, I know your intentions are
good and your suggestions are coming from the heart, But
I got a BMW. I I don't need to work
on my car. Somebody said gardening. I was like, I've
always wanted to learn how to garden. I would start gardening.
(24:10):
But the thing about all these suggestions, whether it's gardening, coloring,
books puzzles. So many people said, read a book, read
a book, read a book. I'm on my phone eight
nine ten hours a day. I am not ever going
to be a person who reads eight nine ten hours
a day. I didn't read before the iPhone came out.
I didn't read before Blackberries came out. I do not
(24:33):
see myself going into the second half of my great, glorious,
hopefully healthy life being a avid reader. You know, I
just don't see it. I'm not saying I can't do
a little bit more reading. I think it's great, but
so much of the reading that I do is on
my phone and on my computer. But I know a
(24:57):
lot of people, because I've talked about this publicly, and
I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know a
lot of people are struggling with that phone. The first
thing I'll say about the phone is if you are
a work person, a busy person. Because I was talking
to my friend Julie, she said, you know work. I said,
you are a worker, and you need to be able
to get in touch and be able to get in
touch with my friend Julie jay Z respectfully, I said,
(25:20):
got to get one of these puppies, Apple Watch or
some sort of smart watch. I'm not promoting Apple or
Apple watches, but I got an Apple Watch. I'm an
Apple guy. I'm on that phone all the time, screaming, yelling, posting, reading, reading, reading, screaming, yelling, posting, reading, reading, reading, commenting, screaming, yelling, posting, reading, reading, reading.
(25:46):
You've seen it, I told my friend, and I suggest
to people. I said, listen, if you're worried about people
getting in touch with you, if you have young kids,
get yourself one of these puppies. Well they're expect Listen,
you got to pay a couple hundred to fight this addiction,
because this phone addiction is not a joke. But if
you have any other suggestions beside coloring books, putting together
(26:09):
an old refurbished motorcycle, and jigsaw puzzles, please let me know.
I am trying to fight this phone addiction. The problem
is is like I was in my car the other
day and a lot of times in the last I
don't know how many, let's just say ten twelve years.
If you're in your car and you got time to spare,
(26:30):
what do you do? You park? It's not like the
old days. You got to pick your nose and you know,
you know, just find something on the radio station. No,
you're scrolling. You're scrolling, you're reading, you're liking, you're scrolling.
I mean you get caught in loops. I got caught
in a Mexican soolo breakdancing loop. Great dancers, a great
(26:55):
dance style. They're all high up. It's fucking awesome. I
got caught in some sort of TikTok la Mexican cholacholo
dancer and they were breakdancing, and then there was like
this whole old school, and I was like, Yo, these
people are moving and they're having such a good time,
and I'm like, I'm on it, and I'm like, it's
sixteen seventeen, eighteen minutes of this and then the highlights
(27:19):
and the basketball, and then the fantasy football, and then
the politics upon the politics and the phone. It's just
it is eating up so much time from your life.
I know it's eating up so much time from my life.
But if you have any suggestions for me of other
things that you can do in twenty twenty five besides
be on your phone, please let me know. Please let
(27:40):
me know. But it's tough because even when you try
to interact with people, I need to find a group
of people who are also not on their phone. Because
everybody else is on their phone. They're not as evolved
as elevated as I am. Right now, I'm evolved. I'm elevated.
I went for a walk the other day to try
to fight my phone by the river. Own phone. It
(28:01):
sucked that nature, some of the go walking nature. That
nature walk sucked. Being without a phone sucks. I'm coming
off a drug. The drug is social media in the iPhone.
I am withdrawing from that drug it is. It is
ruining people's lives. There's so many great benefits to it.
But if you don't control that phone, it will control you.
(28:22):
So please give me some suggestions podcast what else is
going on? I am Rapports several podcast coming live and direct.
(28:45):
My name is Michael Rapport aka the Inflamed as Gunazi
aka the Grango Man thing Go aka mister New York
aka mister two one two aka mister Dose who Know Dose.
I have to tell you that since I returned from Scotland.
Back from Scotland, walking around the streets of New York,
(29:08):
a lot of times people come up to me to
talk to me about various things. During the playoffs, so
many people were coming up to me to talk to
me about the Knicks. Shout out to Big Mike Brown,
new coach of the New York Knicks, and I said,
I said, if it ain't going to be me and
it ain't going to be Dawn Stanley, I have no
(29:30):
problem with Big Mike Brown. I thought it would have
been sick if the Knicks hired Dawn Stanley, who of
course is the coach of the women's team down in
South Carolina. She's a champion upon champion upon champion. And
I was like, you know what, if there is a team,
if there is a city that is ready in twenty
(29:52):
twenty five for a female head coach in the NBA,
it is the New York Knicks, and that person should
be Dawn Stanley with Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Karl Anthony Towns,
and McHale Bridges as the big four of that team,
(30:12):
the core of the four, that team, the essence of
the team. I was like, Yo, if the Knicks wind
up hiring Dawn Stanley, I think it'll work out. I'm
not saying she's the I don't know much about her
as a coach, but it's gonna happen at some point.
I hope. I'm alive to see a female coach in
the NBA. But I was like, these guys, the New
York nerder Bockers, these sweet, chill, hard nos tought, just
(30:37):
good guys that we have playing for the New York Knicks.
Og Antonobi, I was like, these guys are ready. They
would they would respond to any coach. I feel like
these guys will respond to any coach that treats them
with respect and that demands respect, and I was like,
Dawn Stanley could be that person. Obviously it didn't happen
Mike Brown as the coach of the New York Knicks.
But people were coming up to me before they hired
(30:59):
Mike Brown. They say, Mike Rapp, maybe you should be
the coach of the New York Knicks. And I said, well,
if I'm not the coach of the New York Knicks,
i might have to run for mayor. Because walking around
New York City in the few weeks that I've been
back from Scotland, and I got my head up because
(31:19):
obviously I'm not on my phone, every single block, at
least one person will come up to me and be like, yo,
what about this Zoe Ran, What about this Madabi? What
about this Zoe Fran Madonnie? What do you think people
are spooked out about this giggly smiley, bullshit artist Madonnie
(31:47):
Zoe Fran Madonnie as they should be. And I'm going
to tell you this right now, and I'm not gonna
shoot my whole Zoe Fran Madonnie load right now, But
you fake, giggly smiley faced terrorist supporting socialist communist fuck
(32:11):
you are not going to win the election to become
mayor of New York City, still the world's greatest city
in the world. You are not going to become mayor.
New York City is ready to have an African American
mayor and then go from one African American mayor, Mayor Adams,
(32:34):
to another African American guy. But you're not that guy
and you're not African American. You fuck Zoefrian, you bullshit artist,
you cause playing bullshit artist, you smiley faced communist, snake
(32:55):
oil salesman three card Monty promising a bunch of bullshit
that you know you can't ever live up to. And
I'm not gonna shoot my whole Zoe friend Madonni load
right now, but I am going to tell you right
now on this I Am Rapport Stereo podcast the first
(33:19):
few days of July, this fucking Zoe Fran Madonni will
not be the mayor of New York City come November.
I am willing and I'm going to put money on it. Now.
Do we need to respect this fake nice guy three
Card Monty, bullshit artist, communist, socialist, terrorist apologist. Yes, you
(33:43):
need to respect your opponent because this motherfucker Somehow Someway
is running for mayor of the greatest city on the planet,
New York City. Somehow, some way, he was voted in
as the Democratic nominee. So you must respect your opponent.
Curtis Sliwa. I love you, I met you, I respect you.
(34:06):
I respect what you've tried to do for New York.
I respect what you have done for New York. I
respect your point of view. I respect you as a man.
You can't run for mayor. You gotta step down. Curtis Sliwa.
You're not going to win. And I say that with
all due respect. You're not going to win. The stakes
are too high. Stakes is high. Shout out to Da
(34:28):
Las song Cuomo. You fuck you, funk you, you Emmy
Award winning fuck you. You thought you were gonna come
back into politics and be the Democratic nominee. You thought
shit was sweet. You thought you were gonna come in
there with your fucking your hair and your slick So
(34:50):
I thought you were gonna win too. Listen, my wife
was like, this guy's gonna win. I was like, there's
no way Zoe fran is going to win. Okay, there's
no way this tick top bullshit artist is going to win.
I'm telling you he's gonna win. Fucking guy won Cuomo.
You lost, you gotta take that out and hit the
fucking road, Jack And don't you come back no more,
(35:12):
no more, no more, no more. Hit the road, Governor Cuomo.
Matter of fact, hit the road, former Governor Cuomo, And
don't you come back no more? What'd you say? I said,
hit the road, fucking Cuomo? And I say that with
all due respect. It's Mayor Eric Adams versus Zoefrian Madamie.
And I don't think Mayor Adams has done a great job.
(35:33):
But he hasn't been a pile of shit. Do I
think there's things he could do more? Absolutely? Do are
the things that have disappointed me? One hundred and fifty percent?
Has he done some good things? Yes? Did I tell
him to his face that he was a Republican and
Democratic clothes? Yes? Is he from New York? Yes? Is
(35:55):
he from Brownsville and the forty projects of Queens. Is
he a tough heart? Nos? Comp Yes, all these things.
I don't think he's done a great job. I think
there's way more shit that you could have done and
that you need to do, Eric Adams. But this is
the conundrum that New York City is in. You got
Zoe fran the bullshit artist, smiley faced, smiley faced two
(36:22):
bit three card Monty, Giggly TikTok former non rapping rapper.
You ain't no rapper, Zo fran Mo Donnie, you ain't
no rapper. This motherfucker needs to be taken seriously, and
he needs to be taken down. People must vote, People
(36:44):
must vote. You must respect your opponent. And the best
defense is a great offense. And the best offense is
a great defense. And I envision this defense to stop
this bullshit giggly snake Goyle salesman three card Monty fake
promise terrorists supporting communist socialist fuck. This defense is gonna
(37:11):
be anchored down in the middle by the Captain El Capitan,
Patrick Ewing. This defense is gonna be anchored down by
Jim Burt, Lawrence Taylor. We're gonna be throwing heat at
this Modami like Dwight Goodin in the eighties, high and tight,
(37:34):
tight and high all at jadome piece. We're gonna see
Modamie when we're throwing that heat. When we're throwing that
good heat like Doc in the eighties, like Ron Gidrey.
We're gonna see when Mark Gassonow Joe Klecau the New

any means necessary, to kill, name and harm Jewish peoples.

have different meanings to different people. Well, Madami zoefran Madami.
Words in New York slang have different meanings to different people.
You fuck you now. I don't know what this means

oil salesman. You're a three card Monty playing bullshit artist.
You're not gonna be mayor of New York City. We
have to take you fucking seriously. The fact that you're
even here is an insult. That's an embarrassment to New
(39:28):
York the fact that you are even the nominee. A
motherfucker that can't say exactly what it is. You can't
say that globalize the Intafada means kill and attack Jews.
You got some bullshit smile? You're always smoke. What the
