Speaker 1 (00:04):
Are there any sports in the Olympics that you're finding
that you are not interested in that you're now interested in.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I have an affinity for beach volleyball.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh breaking news.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I was watching it, and I've seen beach volleyball before.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I've never noticed when the women are playing, they're not
just wearing bikinis like athletica, like you know, like trunks
or sports bras, Like do you see somebody, They're wearing
straight up bikinis.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
No, I noticed. Maybe that's why you like it.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm not gonna lie like I was just first of all,
was like athletically, like they're diving all over the sand.
What do I know? Listen, what do I know? But
I was like, this is crazy that they're they're butt ass.
I think it's I'll be honest, I think it's sexy.
I also think it's strong. I think it's a good
feminist sort of thing to be a kick ass volleyball player.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Talk about body image, I would do with the bathing suits.
With the women playing in bathing suits, it makes it sexy.
Their body types are all over the place. To be
that confident to roll around and jump around in a
bathing suits shout out to them because it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Three two one hak two.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Of Okay, all right, I'm gonna go with it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
We have to go I got.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I guess I have to go with it because I
don't have a better idea.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
We said we'll go with it until.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Until, yeah, until we come up with a better idea.
But I'm not supportive of it.

Rapport's Reality. My name is Michael Rapport.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
My name is Kirby rah. I just can't you know
KIPI rapperboard Here.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I am hockt a Hawktua Rapaports Reality. Welcome, Welcome to
Rapaport's Reality. I hope everybody's feeling good. Hope everybody is
in the Olympic Spirit, the Championship Gold Metal.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Spirit USA U SA.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The Olympics have been fantastic for so much. I just
do the greatest reality show ever.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I mean, this is a podcast about reality TV, popular
culture and all things are rapaport relationship based and we
have been really enjoying these really a lot. What it's
been your favorite part of watching the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Babe, Well, my favorite event has been the gymnastics, but
my favorite part. You know, there's something just so emotional
about the Olympics. There's something about the thrill of victory.
It's something really, it's the equivalents I make of what
we love about storytelling, about reality television, about documentaries, about
(03:12):
how people work their whole life towards something and when
it arrives, what that feels like, the storytelling of it.
I love all the stories, how the journalists follow stories
and watch these people.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It's never been covered like this ever. I mean, the
coverage is crazy. On Peacock they have the gold Zone,
which is inspired by the Red Zone, so they have
the same people from the NFL who do the Red
Zone fantasy football, which we're not talking about on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
But they are great.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
They are good at going back and forth, they are
good at covering multiple things, and you know, on any
given day during the Olympics, there's I don't know how
they juggle it in the schedules, and they have matches
all over France.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And it's not just in Paris.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
They have surfing in Tahiti, and then there's soccer in
northern France. A friend of ours went to a soccer
match four hours outside of Paris, so it's amazing. It's
all over the place, and the gold zone on Peacock.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Amazing that you could sit there and watch. You know,
I was annoyed at what you remember. I told you
that I was not liking watching football with you because
I didn't like watching the red zone. But the other
day I found myself watching all these events at one time.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It works for the Olympics, does.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I mean it works for football too, But sometimes I
find it and you find it. It's like you just
want to watch one game or focus it on one
half right when they're cutting back and forth, and I
love my fantasy football, and that's not what we discuss
on this podcast. Sometimes on the red Zone for football,
it's like, okay, I it's because.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
The same sport. Are there any sports in the Olympics
that you're finding that you are not interested in that
you're now interested in?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I will be totally honest, fully transparent. I have an
affinity for a beach volleyball.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Oh oh, breaking news.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Female beach volleyball, and I've always loved beat volleyball. When
I fell in love with the Olympics in the nineteen
eighty four Olympics, I remember that USA team playing and
one of the guys as a coach. He's still part
of the volleyball, the Olympic volleyball community. I don't know
anything about how it works, but I remember watching it.
(05:24):
I like the sport, the athleticism. It reminds me of basketball.
There are some basketball players that you know wound up
playing volleyball. There's one guy who played in the NBA
who's part of the Olympic volleyball team this year.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I can't remember his name off.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
The top of my head, but I've always enjoyed playing volleyball.
In my short span of playing volleyball, but I like it.
I always like watching It's quick, it's fast.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, I heard you say that you thought you'd be
good at it because I'm tall.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Can't jumphie, long arms, long arms, tall, long arms, can't jumphie,
not really. You know, quick of the foot.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Good combo, strong ankles, though.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Strong ankles.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
But listen, these are all these like hoop dreams volleyball.
But whatever the case is is, I was watching it,
and I've seen beach volleyball before. I've never noticed when
the women are playing, they're not just wearing bikinis like athletica,
like you know, like trunks or sports spras, like do
(06:24):
you see somebody, They're wearing straight up bikinis.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No, I notice. Maybe that's why you like it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm not gonna lie like I was just first of all,
was like athletically, like they're diving all over the sand.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
What do I know? Listen, what do I know? But
I was like, this.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Is crazy that they're there. They're butt ass. I think
it's I'll be honest, I think it's sexy. I also
think it's strong. I think it's a good feminist sort
of thing to be a kick ass volleyball player and
to have the fucking like, yo, I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
In a bikini, Olympic world class ass.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And also I just think that volleyball in all seriousness
is it's just quick.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
There's no there's no every point, there's something happening.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
So I agree.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I like that. I like the.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Table tennis because I like ping pong. I was watching
some some ping pong and this is like ping pong.
I didn't even call it. Steroids isn't even a good
enough word. The way they play ping pong.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Is next level.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's like a video game, right.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
They're going back and forth and they's spinning and all
that stuff. I watched women's rugby because we watched that
one woman.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Of Iona Mayor, and they meddled and they're fucking badass
behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh my goodness. I am a fan of hers. She
has talked about she has a whole thing she has
pinned on her Instagram, this whole thing about having big shoulders,
women with big shoulders. I have never wanted big shoulders
in my life, and I do because of her. She
is to me funny, yeah, gorgeous, sexy. She makes talk
about body image. I agree with you with the bathing suits.
(07:57):
With the women playing in bathing suits, it makes it sexy.
They're body types are all over the place to be
that confident to roll around and jump around into bathing suits.
Not to stop you, babe, but there are some countries
where the women are full on like tights.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh yeah, they're somewhere in hajeebs.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Tights and playing beach bys. The opposite of bathing suits,
which I find interesting. But some the American teams and
other cultures that are playing and bathing suits. Shout out
to them because it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
But the women's rugby has been crazy crazy, and those
learning her story and learning the other people's story, some
of them are from the military and they don't get
paid a lot. Water polo women's water polo, shout out
the Flavor Flave. Flavor Flav he sponsors the water polo team.
So this is what I like about the Olympics, you know,
(08:44):
and I've always liked about the Olympics is getting to
know the athletes, yes, and the stories, and it really
is people putting it all on the line for these dreams. Now,
you know, the more famous athletes like the Simone Biles
and the Coco Groff who lost and there was a
big controversy about her losing and complaining about a point. Listen,
(09:07):
when you care that much, it's gonna happen. I'm down
with Coco Groff. She's sick, she's incredible, she's young, she'll
be back.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But I just love that, whether.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's fencing, track and field, ping.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Pong, a women's water polo, that they are.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
These the top of the top elite athletes from all
over the world, and they are so competitive and so
purely competitive in spirit. The majority of the athletes, obviously
USA Olympic he got Lebron, Steph Curry, these are some
of those guys are billionaires. Lebron James is a billionaire
and some of them are on their way to being billionaires.
But even the WNBA girls that are playing in the basketball,
(09:48):
they're more compensated than the majority of these athletes. So
it's really about just the love of the game and
the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. And we
got ourselves pumped up by watching this moaned Biles documentary
two parts on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The people don't know this, they've been dying to hear
about this. KBI.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
At one point when you were young, you were very,
very into competitive gymnastics.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You had hopes and dreams, aspirations.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The dreams myself and what happened, Oh, I had a
back injury, very severe back lower L four L five
fracture that was pretty severe in the tryout Championship tryout
doing giant swings on uneven bars. But you used to
practice back then you used to practice giant swings are
(10:49):
like you take off one of the bars, you know,
on the uneven bars. You practice on the lower bar,
and trying out with small girls, I didn't move the
bar up and I was doing giants stream you know,
handstands on the bar and I was just bending my
knees going down. You know, you just kind of practice
going uh, I.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Don't know, I could tell you something.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Volleyball, basketball, great, Yeah, I was climbing, not my thing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I was an elite athlete and anyway, so I was
doing that and I came down and peeled my knees
like on the bottom swing, and you know, being lazy,
Actually I should have put the bar up to my
height so that I could do a full giant swing
like a handstand all the way around, you know, just
practicing warming up. And I said, oh no, it's okay,
I'll go with you a small Asian girl. And I
(11:33):
just went down and I peeled and my fingertips. You
see the girls yesterday, you saw a couple of them
warming up when they were going around right and their fingertips.
They caught their fingertips barely and they fell off right.
I think Sonny Lee did it. She came off on practice.
She came off and she like dropped to the ground.
The Brazilian girl did it too, and banged her eye.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I gotta say I did that. The thing about falling
in these Olympics and these warm up oh my god,
they get up like nothing happened and they get out
and I know something happened.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Something happened. And there's talk about Simon in the documentary
is talking about the twisties. I mean, anyway, so I
came down, peeled, hit, my knees went flying forward, my
knees went over the back of my head, jammed into
my lower back, and that was I was done. And
I went into You know, I had physical therapy at
(12:22):
the time. By the way, I got physical training with
doctor Shields, Magic Johnson's doctor. I wasn't anyway. I was
never the same anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
No, No, you got to tell that story because I've
always loved this story. When Magic had his knee injury,
the very serious I think it was his second or
third year. I believe it was his second year or
his third year with the Lakers, and he was rehabbing.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You were at the rehab place while the.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Magic same place as Magic Johnson. Also Donielle, my sister
in life, not my real sister, but my sister. Donielle
had a knee injury the same place we went to.
All went to the same place where he was getting rehab.
Doctor Sheil was my doctor. I think he had another doctor.
I can't remember his oath.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Were you bugging or you didn't care?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I'm set?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I mean my dreams were over. Well, I thought my
dreams were over. I was young, but I had serious
I promise to be. I mean Lucy Collins at the
time was the only black gymnast we knew her. She
was at Scats down in Orange County. I was at
SMGC in Santa Monica. There was only several I mean,
this was a real dream of mine. I'm almost close
to my dreams anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But were you bugging when you saw magic? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I mean magic was around in LA and you could
see magic at the time. Magic was He was a
nice guy. Donielle was more into magic than I was.
She was around him, she knew him. Irving. You've spin
around me with Irving knows me. He knows you know,
he knows us.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
But anyway, I never get used to that though, I know,
I know, like when I'm around Magic Johnson, I'm like,
I'm twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And he's like, what's up, Mike, And You're.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Like, yeah, I can't have a normal conversation with it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
But anyway, what happens when you have an injury like that?
And going to speaking of the Simone document why when
we were watching it and she it's so weird when
you hurt yourself like that. And then when we were
watching it, I just started breaking down.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I just cried.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
It was like a trauma response, and it was so
weird how I reacted because when she talked about the Twisties,
I had it like I'm here, I am fifty four
years old. I mean the injury happened when I was
I don't know, fifteen, sixteen years old. I went on
to still do gymnastics up until I was eighteen years old,
so I was a gymnast. I was gonna go keep going.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But you, but you, when we were watching the documentary,
you were having a visceral reaction.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I literally broke down when she said Twisty, I like cried,
I stood up, I got I had to walk away.
My body started shaking when she said Twisty's I was like,
I knew it because when you do gymnastics and you
start from like four years old and you train, you
don't have fear, right when you don't know don't know
what fear is. When you hurt yourself the first time
(14:55):
or get an injury, you all of a sudden no fear.
And by the way, I'm doing gymnastics when gymnastic was
not shit. When I watched now six now I'm like,
oh my gosh, they're crazy. There's some stuff on Beam
that I was doing. When I'm watching, I'm going, I
did that.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I did that. I did that. I did that.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
There's other stuff that was like even the girl who's
doing the I don't forget the girl who's doing the
announcing of Janet, the little girl. She's even saying and
she competed in what twenty six, twenty twenty, twenty twenty,
and she's going, I didn't even do that, right, I'm saying,
oh my gosh, I did that. I did that, I
did that. But that is crazy what they're doing now.
(15:30):
If I'm saying to myself, I had the twisties. We
didn't have a name for it, and some Moanbiles gets
this thing I babe, I was like sick.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Some moan biles what she had in the twenty twenty Olympics.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
She had a case of what is called the twisties,
and she wound up dropping out of the twenty twenty Olympics,
which I gotta be honest. There was no crowds. It
was postponed. Crazy and she got a lot of backlash
from me. Yes, idiots, idiots who were saying she she
do on her team, she dropped down her country and.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
All this shit.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And then my fucking ass when you see what it is,
Oh my goodness, and old saved her life right doing that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Because you could get killed.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
You could get killed.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Because, by the way, when I did that injury, I'll
never forget. I go to the floor. All my teammates
come around me. I'm on the floor for about thirty seconds.
I cannot move. I can't feel my feet. My coach
comes over. They start picking my feet, touching my feet.
Can you feel this?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Can you feel that?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I can't feel anything? Do you know that my mother
shows up at the gym?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
She just shows up.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Shout out to Michellelee just shows up, by the way,
a working single mom.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Shout out to Michelle.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
By the way, my mom wore the same dress. I'm
not even exaggerating she would love that. I'm telling you
she wore the same dress for weeks to afford to
let me go to the gym. My gym, the cost
is and send me to that gym, a private club
for my training costs the same as our rent to
our apartment for us to send me there. This woman
showed up because she felt something. I don't know how
(17:00):
she showed up.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
She showed up.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I was that severely injured. I could have been paralyzed.
I could have been paralyzed from the waist down from
my injury. Okay, this is how scary it was. My
recovery was horrible. I was a good gymnast, but I
had no self esteem. My coaches would sit my mom
down and said, Kibi would be an Olympic athlete. She
just needs to believe in herself. She's so damn talented.
(17:22):
She doesn't have any self confidence. It's so below what
it needs to be. And it would be like the struggle.
My mom be like, I'm not fucking paying for this,
You've got to get your confidence up, and I'd be like.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
My mom was like, I'm gonna stop paying, but she
showed up that day. So my thing was a shout
out to you. By the way, you were the only
person that spoke up for Simone Biles. I did you
did you granted for her? Because people were like, you know,
all these people are like, I can't believe what you're
saying about her.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You know, she.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Country kidding me.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
This girl is the goat of the goat of the goat.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What she done? Anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The documentary two part documentary called Simone on Netflix is
definitely worth watching. It's easy watch, it's fun, It'll definitely
get you in the head. You should watch it asap
if you're watching the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Highly recommend.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And it's got.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Us focused along with the gold zone on Peacock and
they just won another gold medal.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
The team just won another gold medal, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And the fact that they won another gold medal and
people are still talking about Simone Bile's hair, criticizing her
fucking hair.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
She's an athlete, this is another beauty contest. She's flipping around.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
She's doing.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
One of the greatest athletes.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Of all time and they're talking about her hair.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Unbelievable, hair can't stay.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Does your hair look good when you're flipping?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
How high she flips and what speed and velocity? Like
you want her hair to stay?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
That's it to me.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's so it's so disrespect and the racism, and but
also she's getting it from everywhere. There's definitely the racist
part of it, but she's getting it from all across
the world. I'm like, she's probably tried everything. She's literally
like when you watch her run.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Aside from super glue to just glue her edges.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
She used to get the Gorilla glue girl.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Remember the girl who glued her edges. That's what they
expect her to do accident, put glue on her hair
to glue edgen.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
But she's like a rocket.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Shi is running towards that fucking Oh my goodness, what
is it the vault. It's like a missile. Yeah, and
the velocity and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But the fact that she even has to like like
the other day she put it on her story like
I'm gonna hold your hand for this. Don't mention my
hair again. I just respect her so much and love
her so much. She is just she's so beautiful. She's
such a the foster care and her parents and her
story is incredible.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
She's got Doude Frederick Richard, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
There's so many great stories and people with the ultimate
strength and talent. It's just inspiring and it makes with
everything else that's going on in the world, it's just, uh,
bring some levity and some joy and some inspiration that
we all really really need.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, So even even if you're not watching watching, you
should just turn on your TV because it is very,
very relaxing and when you do watch, you will enjoy it.
And it's on NBC MSNBC, it's on the NBC Plus,
NBC Minus, it's.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
All over the Plus.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So it is the greatest reality show of the summer,
besides The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which is coming
to an end.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
It is a real end.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And Andy did confirm that it's going through a full reboot.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Did he say it's going through a full reboot or
he agrees? I think he said he agrees, he agrees, which.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I don't think it's been announcing.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I think that's enough because that's what happened with New York.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
He agreed that it was and.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
It was I think this is just my prediction. This
is just my impulse prediction to what you just said.
I personally think the smoke is going to clear, there's
a little delay. Yeah, there's gonna be a little pause,
and I think they're going to put the screws to them. Yeah,
and I think the show. This is just my prediction.
(21:21):
I haven't heard anything. I have the inside scoop, but
I have no inside scoop. But this is just my prediction.
Maybe it's just my hope.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That it's going to be a delay and they're going
to come back.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't think totally revamping Jersey is going to be
as easy as it sounds, unless either Melissa Gorga Joe
Gorga are fired or Teresa and Louis and company are fired.
Oh man, But I don't think there's a show there
because there's no conflict. We need a conflict. And we
(21:53):
don't need to say it again. We've said it millions
of times already. It's sad, but inevitably, and I hate
to use curses, but excuse my French, but we the
Olympics are in Paris. They fucked themselves, They have fucked themselves.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So we've said it.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We've said it.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I think I have to agree.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's one or the other. And that's why I think
there will be a full reboot. And listen, I'm not
for it. It's how we felt about New York, and
we felt that way about New York and then guess what,
we were happy with the results.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We're happy with New York, but we don't love New York.
There's no Ramona Singer in New York. Listen, it's only
year one, but there's no Sonia Morgan, there's no Countess.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You're right, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Different thing, a different thing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's a different thing. It's a fashion show. It's a
different things. It's like a fashion show as opposed to
like a all you can eat.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Right right, like Red Lobster.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It's like Madison Avenue versus like they're at the Red Lopster. Yeah,
you know, this last episode, we're coming to the finale,
this last episode.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Shout out to John.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Fuda oh Man in his allergy he almost died, Yeah
he really did.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And Joe Gorga but stay away, stay away from the patient.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Jo you know e n T No, Yeah, e n
T or e MT.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You know Ean T or an EMT neither the guys
lips are swelling like a cartoon character is closing up
and you're putting you're rubbing him with ice and you
want to put vix on.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I thought he was going to break out the wind
decks like my big fat Greek wedding.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
He Fuda playing the macho Italian guy while having an
anaphylactic shock situation.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Shout out to Joe Yes for noticing that the guy
was literally about.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The responsible adult in the room.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
And John Food is like, I'm Italian, we do this.
We know what you do is what you do is
you're going into anaphylactic shock.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
And because he took a vodka on bone marrow, the
food looked good at that. But the sad part of
the whole thing is number one, John Fuda almost died
on hammer number two. The the other part of it
that was really sad and and just indicative of the
way The Real Housewives of New Jerseys is ending this
season is they had two man meetings. This is the
(24:13):
first time they had they separated church and state. Some
of the guys who were at one at the Gorgas
and the other guys were at Louise Louise and Gorga.
They had steaks and they had bone marrow and they
were playing poker like just like Jersey guys. And then
at Louise he made them do confessionals to their woman.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That was uncomfortable for me.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It was a bunch of bullshit. Sorry, Louis, it's sorry.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah that was not sorry. Yeah that was I felt manipulated.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I felt manipulated.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I don't feel like it was just like it's the
real house like we want to see that. If the
guys can't be together, if we're at the point where
not just the housewives.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Thank you, but if the house husbands can't be together.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They fought.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
It's such a good point. It's such a good point.
Don't trust it. It may we're done, We're done.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's and they did it to themselves. They can't figure
out when.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And it's so unfortunate because I think we have a
star on that show. And her name is Danielle and
you sent me an Instagram post of her. Uh, she
was a teenage teenager on and.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You were a Britney Spears fan contest and she she
had she had the eye of the tiger, no fear,
no fear, bout it. She was up there talking ship
and she made a rap and it was all impromptu.
How she loves Britney Spears is excellent. A matter of fact,
Miles Jordan's play a little clip of Danielle going off
the top of the dome and going off about her love.
(25:35):
This is in the nineties, or maybe it was the nineties.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Had to have been two thousands.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Justin Timberlake JT going off about her love of Britney Spears.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
The seventh second, nineteen eighty one, Miss Britney jan Spears
is born to make uns Happy, and it's ball Town
and Carol Louisiana became native at age eleven to meet
her dream day, the one and only.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
It's justine.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yuh So, Danielle is definitely a star.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I mean, look at that.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
The Goddess of Jersey, Dolores has been great. They've all
been great. They just can't coexist. And and and and
we're done. So the season's done, and it's looking like
the show is also done, and it's it's just really
it's fucking disappointing because at the end of the day,
they didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Just fuck themselves.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Sorry to use the French again, they're fucking us and
you can't fuck the fans.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
No, we're not gonna forget that.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You don't want to fuck the fans, and you don't
want to fight the fans.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
You don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, we're you know what, they messed it up. It's
they did to themselves, even though Teresa tried to do
her damage to control yest. Yeah, but it's not too
a little too late.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Too late.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
She wrote a letter in some of the other cast mates.
She was essentially apologizing for her behavior and how it's.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Affected the whole cast and then how the toxic energy.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Of the whole thing a little too late Teresa.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Too little, too late, And she also she also I
don't know if she did this on purpose. Yesterday she
posted a picture of her going to Mikonos with Louie
and she said I'm out, bitches, And I'm thinking, are
you like, does this mean you're out, you're on vacation,
(27:31):
or you're signing off for Instagram? Because the way she
worded it, it looked like she was signing off the Instagram.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
But then later I saw more posts. I'm just like,
do you know what I'm out? Bitches? Like?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
What is she out, meaning she's out of everything she's
doing at first, before it's done to her. Do you
know what I'm trying to say, Yes, like she's saying
I'm out, meaning like you can stop the show, but
I'm stopping it all first.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You're pulling the plug right right.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
That would be totally her.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I don't think she's doing that.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I want to give a shout out to her lawyer, James, because, man,
let me tell you something. I was watching him as
an actor. I was like, Yo, this is an outfit.
His get up, his glasses, the leather jacket, and when
you're like, this is a Jersey lawyer.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Full on.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I've known James, I've met James always been nice to me.
The bloggers have a lot to say about James Leonard. Margaret, Margaret, Joseph.
She said, Teresa's lawyers from Atlantic City, my lawyers on
Madison Avenue. James Leonard has always been good with me.
I like it the way he dresses. See es Central Casting.
(28:32):
We mentioned Britney Spears Must watch documentary not great. Could
have been two episodes, but it was three episod There's
a great documentary about Loop Pearlman, Dirty Pop, Dirty Pop
and if you get a Life and Times documentary made
about you, you don't want the title dirty pop, you
(28:54):
do not, but dirty pop about Loop Pearlman, who, amongst
other things, was the mastermind.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
He was the mastermind behind n Sync.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well before that, we ought to give him credit for
the blimp right.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Into the aviation. This guy's like to catch me if
you can.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Totally because to me, before anything, the fact that he
brought the blimp and was friends with the Nazi. I
mean he was a Jewish guy who who brought the
blimp into America. You know the blimp that we used
to see when we were a kids. Year the year
blimp into.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Uh saying that ice cubes of pimp, you know, like
in scarface.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But the fact that the blimp that used to carry
along the messages along the beaches and whatever, this guy,
that to me was wild, that part of it. But
then he really didn't even have the money to do.
This guy was just scam scammer of the scam.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Blimp people jumpies and then he I can't remember, like
I think his daughter was a big fan of New
Kids on the Block. Yeah, and he got the idea
to I mean out of nowhere. He had nothing to
do with the music business to create.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
A boy band guy in Florida, Orlando of the very
fat I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I mean a pig, but a charming pig. He could
I'm not, I guess. I mean, look, he scammed.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The ship out of everybody body, everybody, and he basically
though justin Timberlake, he gave him his fucking career.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
There's no justin Timberlake.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Without this this Pearlman, Louke.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Perlman, who created the back Street Boys, the Pig problem,
the pig Perlman. And we were only saying not because
it looks because what he had the longest running scam
in American history.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
More than that, made off for real.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Scammed regular people, borrowed from this person, put it against
that person, borrowed again from that person, took from this bank.
He would forge bank documents, forge legal documents, take money
from this place. And he fucked over the Backstreet Boys
and then SYNC, and he fucked over to so many
(30:58):
innocent people because people would invest it. I mean, this
is guy's like literally like some burning made off shit totally.
So if you want a good fun again, it's not.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Not fun haha fun.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
But an interesting like how can somebody get Away with
It documentary.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Don't understand it, Like I just don't understand because I
feel like, as we're watching it, I was like, hello, like,
can't we see that this guy is not.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Did they say he scammed billions or five hundred million,
five hundred million?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I think, yeah, I mean, and.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
But that was then.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
So when he das dollar he died. People never got
paid back. They still don't know where in the middles.
No perman I'm gonna give I mean, this isn't this
is a fact. This is not a you know, not
a giveaway, not a giveaway. And you could tell if
you're watching the documentary, this guy's eventually gonna wind up
in jail.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
He wind up in jail, and then he wind up
dying in jail.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Because he was unhealthy from the beginning of the documentary,
which is thirty years before the end of the documentary.
And again it just reminded me of burning made off
and catch me if you can.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Uh, he didn't.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
He was no Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Hanks. Yeah, he's
not a fat Leonardo DiCaprio or a fat Tom Hanks.
This guy is a real shister too. Bit just I mean,
and it's just the way somebody could lie to your face.
He's lying to people and knowing that he's taking their
money and never gonna pay them back. I don't understand
that part when you're telling people I'm gonna pay you
(32:24):
and you know you're not.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And for it to go on so long and not
pay people back and not for the word not to
get along. I think it has a lot to do
with like make having some success with making people famous.
But it seemed like it took a long time for
instinct to get famous in America. See, they had fame
somewhere else, Germany. In Germany first right.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
He broke a Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So it just seems like to me, it didn't get
around that he wasn't legit like it's just fine. It
was like he was sloppy and he didn't seem like
usually somebody is good looking so they have something to
get over that. I don't know. The guy really really
worked people over, and I find it to be fair.
I'm up.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know these.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Documentaries when we're watching them, when people do this, it
makes us literally angry. We're like in bed pissed.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
He get.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
He really really was frustrating to watch, but it's a
fast It should be a movie.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
It really really should be a movie.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Eight one hundred percent should be a movie the way
the whole thing played out. Finally, the great jaxtailor the
one and only number one guy in the group, I
want to give him a shout out and wish him
a Rapaports reality recovery. He has checked himself into a
rehab for mental distress and uh, you know, just sort
(33:42):
of his mental well being, his mental wellness.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It does say anything about drugs.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Okay, well we saw that, we could see that coming.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I'm sure the stress of jaxtailor the stress goodness, you know,
living up to being the number one guy in the group.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Maybe maybe it's well that.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Was self perfect toll on him.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, would anybody if you're gonna profess to be that?
And we're not doing him any favors by calling him that.
I really hope he gets better and I hope it
brings him and Brittany back together. I hate to see
anybody break up. They got a kid, this television reality thing,
getting in fights on TV and she's like, uh, what
does she say to him?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Suck it go to hell, Jack Taylor to go to
hell Jack's tail.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, that's you know, we don't want to see that.
I hope he does well, and I hope it works
out for him, and I hope they get back together.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
He's been on his mental wellness journey for a while though,
even on Vanner put seeing the psychic or the therapist,
and then.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
He started and start the therapist.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah, he's been on it.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So we hopefully he's at an all male place, yes, because.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
No females around Scott could seduce hect seduce him. He's
been known to seduce the men too. Remember we lived
with the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
We're gonna we're.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Gonna let that slip because we want the best for Jack. Now,
if that's his path, that's cool too.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
But I was happy to see that he had checked
himself into a place to help improve himself, his mental
well being and hopefully maybe his relationship with Brittany, and
if not, if they're not going to stay together, that.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
They can co parent and they can get along well.
I mean, he said it many times on TV.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I'm not well.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
You've heard him say it, like I'm not doing okay,
and his eyes start to bug out and he does
not he looks like he could snap. He has said it, Manbeah,
he has said it. He has said I'm not I'm
not okay.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Over the years, over the years he said it.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I mean he's walked in and he snapped on l
v P and like, you know, he's done some things
as wild.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Right, he said, my showdown, that's the bottom, the bottom
of the list.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Of the things he oh.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Yeah, he needs.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Good for him for knowing when to call it quits
and go get himself help, right. I feel for him
and I want I want.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
The best route for Jack.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I really root for that guy.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yo, we've never met Jack Seller. I'd be excited.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I would be him more so than your other guy.
You're Tom Sandoval, not not a fan, but Jack's I really.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I like Yeah, Jackson, we realized.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
So shout out to Jack, Shout out to Brittany, shout
out to the whole Taylor clan, and shout out to
you the fans, Yes, the Tailor clan, and you the
fans listening to Rappaport's reality.
Speaker 4 (36:07):

TV and popular culture world scream for, beg for, and

season of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Ye wait, anyway, We're done and hope you had fun.
Love you, babe, Love you babe.
Are there any sports in the Olympics that you're finding
that you are not interested in that you're now interested in.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I have an affinity for beach volleyball.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Oh breaking news.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I was watching it, and I've seen beach volleyball before.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I've never noticed when the women are playing, they're not
just wearing bikinis like athletica, like you know, like trunks
or sports bras, Like do you see somebody, They're wearing
straight up bikinis.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
No, I noticed. Maybe that's why you like it.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm not gonna lie like I was just first of all,
was like athletically, like they're diving all over the sand.
What do I know? Listen, what do I know? But
I was like, this is crazy that they're they're butt ass.
I think it's I'll be honest, I think it's sexy.
I also think it's strong. I think it's a good
feminist sort of thing to be a kick ass volleyball player.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Talk about body image, I would do with the bathing suits.
With the women playing in bathing suits, it makes it sexy.
Their body types are all over the place. To be
that confident to roll around and jump around in a
bathing suits shout out to them because it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Three two one hak two.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Of Okay, all right, I'm gonna go with it.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
We have to go I got.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I guess I have to go with it because I
don't have a better idea.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
We said we'll go with it until.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Until, yeah, until we come up with a better idea.
But I'm not supportive of it.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
People like it.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
People love it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I mean it's taken off, but.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
No, people not just love it and her.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
People like that as a intro sort of you know,
like it's Olympics, like it's like go or you know,
like go three two to one bang. That's Welcome to
Rapport's Reality. My name is Michael Rapport.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
My name is Kirby rah. I just can't you know
KIPI rapperboard Here.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I am hockt a Hawktua Rapaports Reality. Welcome, Welcome to
Rapaport's Reality. I hope everybody's feeling good. Hope everybody is
in the Olympic Spirit, the Championship Gold Metal.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Spirit USA U SA.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The Olympics have been fantastic for so much. I just
do the greatest reality show ever.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I mean, this is a podcast about reality TV, popular
culture and all things are rapaport relationship based and we
have been really enjoying these really a lot. What it's
been your favorite part of watching the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Babe, Well, my favorite event has been the gymnastics, but
my favorite part. You know, there's something just so emotional
about the Olympics. There's something about the thrill of victory.
It's something really, it's the equivalents I make of what
we love about storytelling, about reality television, about documentaries, about
(03:12):
how people work their whole life towards something and when
it arrives, what that feels like, the storytelling of it.
I love all the stories, how the journalists follow stories
and watch these people.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It's never been covered like this ever. I mean, the
coverage is crazy. On Peacock they have the gold Zone,
which is inspired by the Red Zone, so they have
the same people from the NFL who do the Red
Zone fantasy football, which we're not talking about on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
But they are great.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
They are good at going back and forth, they are
good at covering multiple things, and you know, on any
given day during the Olympics, there's I don't know how
they juggle it in the schedules, and they have matches
all over France.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And it's not just in Paris.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
They have surfing in Tahiti, and then there's soccer in
northern France. A friend of ours went to a soccer
match four hours outside of Paris, so it's amazing. It's
all over the place, and the gold zone on Peacock.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Amazing that you could sit there and watch. You know,
I was annoyed at what you remember. I told you
that I was not liking watching football with you because
I didn't like watching the red zone. But the other
day I found myself watching all these events at one time.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
It works for the Olympics, does.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
I mean it works for football too, But sometimes I
find it and you find it. It's like you just
want to watch one game or focus it on one
half right when they're cutting back and forth, and I
love my fantasy football, and that's not what we discuss
on this podcast. Sometimes on the red Zone for football,
it's like, okay, I it's because.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
The same sport. Are there any sports in the Olympics
that you're finding that you are not interested in that
you're now interested in?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I will be totally honest, fully transparent. I have an
affinity for a beach volleyball.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Oh oh, breaking news.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Female beach volleyball, and I've always loved beat volleyball. When
I fell in love with the Olympics in the nineteen
eighty four Olympics, I remember that USA team playing and
one of the guys as a coach. He's still part
of the volleyball, the Olympic volleyball community. I don't know
anything about how it works, but I remember watching it.
(05:24):
I like the sport, the athleticism. It reminds me of basketball.
There are some basketball players that you know wound up
playing volleyball. There's one guy who played in the NBA
who's part of the Olympic volleyball team this year.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I can't remember his name off.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
The top of my head, but I've always enjoyed playing volleyball.
In my short span of playing volleyball, but I like it.
I always like watching It's quick, it's fast.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, I heard you say that you thought you'd be
good at it because I'm tall.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Can't jumphie, long arms, long arms, tall, long arms, can't jumphie,
not really. You know, quick of the foot.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Good combo, strong ankles, though.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Strong ankles.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
But listen, these are all these like hoop dreams volleyball.
But whatever the case is is, I was watching it,
and I've seen beach volleyball before. I've never noticed when
the women are playing, they're not just wearing bikinis like athletica,
like you know, like trunks or sports spras, like do
(06:24):
you see somebody, They're wearing straight up bikinis.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No, I notice. Maybe that's why you like it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm not gonna lie like I was just first of all,
was like athletically, like they're diving all over the sand.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
What do I know? Listen, what do I know? But
I was like, this.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Is crazy that they're there. They're butt ass. I think
it's I'll be honest, I think it's sexy. I also
think it's strong. I think it's a good feminist sort
of thing to be a kick ass volleyball player and
to have the fucking like, yo, I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
In a bikini, Olympic world class ass.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And also I just think that volleyball in all seriousness
is it's just quick.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
There's no there's no every point, there's something happening.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
So I agree.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I like that. I like the.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Table tennis because I like ping pong. I was watching
some some ping pong and this is like ping pong.
I didn't even call it. Steroids isn't even a good
enough word. The way they play ping pong.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Is next level.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's like a video game, right.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
They're going back and forth and they's spinning and all
that stuff. I watched women's rugby because we watched that
one woman.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Of Iona Mayor, and they meddled and they're fucking badass
behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh my goodness. I am a fan of hers. She
has talked about she has a whole thing she has
pinned on her Instagram, this whole thing about having big shoulders,
women with big shoulders. I have never wanted big shoulders
in my life, and I do because of her. She
is to me funny, yeah, gorgeous, sexy. She makes talk
about body image. I agree with you with the bathing suits.
(07:57):
With the women playing in bathing suits, it makes it sexy.
They're body types are all over the place to be
that confident to roll around and jump around into bathing suits.
Not to stop you, babe, but there are some countries
where the women are full on like tights.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Oh yeah, they're somewhere in hajeebs.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Tights and playing beach bys. The opposite of bathing suits,
which I find interesting. But some the American teams and
other cultures that are playing and bathing suits. Shout out
to them because it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
But the women's rugby has been crazy crazy, and those
learning her story and learning the other people's story, some
of them are from the military and they don't get
paid a lot. Water polo women's water polo, shout out
the Flavor Flave. Flavor Flav he sponsors the water polo team.
So this is what I like about the Olympics, you know,
(08:44):
and I've always liked about the Olympics is getting to
know the athletes, yes, and the stories, and it really
is people putting it all on the line for these dreams. Now,
you know, the more famous athletes like the Simone Biles
and the Coco Groff who lost and there was a
big controversy about her losing and complaining about a point. Listen,
(09:07):
when you care that much, it's gonna happen. I'm down
with Coco Groff. She's sick, she's incredible, she's young, she'll
be back.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But I just love that, whether.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It's fencing, track and field, ping.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Pong, a women's water polo, that they are.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
These the top of the top elite athletes from all
over the world, and they are so competitive and so
purely competitive in spirit. The majority of the athletes, obviously
USA Olympic he got Lebron, Steph Curry, these are some
of those guys are billionaires. Lebron James is a billionaire
and some of them are on their way to being billionaires.
But even the WNBA girls that are playing in the basketball,
(09:48):
they're more compensated than the majority of these athletes. So
it's really about just the love of the game and
the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. And we
got ourselves pumped up by watching this moaned Biles documentary
two parts on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
The people don't know this, they've been dying to hear
about this. KBI.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
At one point when you were young, you were very,
very into competitive gymnastics.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You had hopes and dreams, aspirations.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The dreams myself and what happened, Oh, I had a
back injury, very severe back lower L four L five
fracture that was pretty severe in the tryout Championship tryout
doing giant swings on uneven bars. But you used to
practice back then you used to practice giant swings are
(10:49):
like you take off one of the bars, you know,
on the uneven bars. You practice on the lower bar,
and trying out with small girls, I didn't move the
bar up and I was doing giants stream you know,
handstands on the bar and I was just bending my
knees going down. You know, you just kind of practice
going uh, I.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Don't know, I could tell you something.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Volleyball, basketball, great, Yeah, I was climbing, not my thing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I was an elite athlete and anyway, so I was
doing that and I came down and peeled my knees
like on the bottom swing, and you know, being lazy,
Actually I should have put the bar up to my
height so that I could do a full giant swing
like a handstand all the way around, you know, just
practicing warming up. And I said, oh no, it's okay,
I'll go with you a small Asian girl. And I
(11:33):
just went down and I peeled and my fingertips. You
see the girls yesterday, you saw a couple of them
warming up when they were going around right and their fingertips.
They caught their fingertips barely and they fell off right.
I think Sonny Lee did it. She came off on practice.
She came off and she like dropped to the ground.
The Brazilian girl did it too, and banged her eye.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I gotta say I did that. The thing about falling
in these Olympics and these warm up oh my god,
they get up like nothing happened and they get out
and I know something happened.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Something happened. And there's talk about Simon in the documentary
is talking about the twisties. I mean, anyway, so I
came down, peeled, hit, my knees went flying forward, my
knees went over the back of my head, jammed into
my lower back, and that was I was done. And
I went into You know, I had physical therapy at
(12:22):
the time. By the way, I got physical training with
doctor Shields, Magic Johnson's doctor. I wasn't anyway. I was
never the same anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
No, No, you got to tell that story because I've
always loved this story. When Magic had his knee injury,
the very serious I think it was his second or
third year. I believe it was his second year or
his third year with the Lakers, and he was rehabbing.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
You were at the rehab place while the.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Magic same place as Magic Johnson. Also Donielle, my sister
in life, not my real sister, but my sister. Donielle
had a knee injury the same place we went to.
All went to the same place where he was getting rehab.
Doctor Sheil was my doctor. I think he had another doctor.
I can't remember his oath.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Were you bugging or you didn't care?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I'm set?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I mean my dreams were over. Well, I thought my
dreams were over. I was young, but I had serious
I promise to be. I mean Lucy Collins at the
time was the only black gymnast we knew her. She
was at Scats down in Orange County. I was at
SMGC in Santa Monica. There was only several I mean,
this was a real dream of mine. I'm almost close
to my dreams anyway.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
But were you bugging when you saw magic? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I mean magic was around in LA and you could
see magic at the time. Magic was He was a
nice guy. Donielle was more into magic than I was.
She was around him, she knew him. Irving. You've spin
around me with Irving knows me. He knows you know,
he knows us.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
But anyway, I never get used to that though, I know,
I know, like when I'm around Magic Johnson, I'm like,
I'm twelve.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And he's like, what's up, Mike, And You're.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Like, yeah, I can't have a normal conversation with it.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
But anyway, what happens when you have an injury like that?
And going to speaking of the Simone document why when
we were watching it and she it's so weird when
you hurt yourself like that. And then when we were
watching it, I just started breaking down.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I just cried.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
It was like a trauma response, and it was so
weird how I reacted because when she talked about the Twisties,
I had it like I'm here, I am fifty four
years old. I mean the injury happened when I was
I don't know, fifteen, sixteen years old. I went on
to still do gymnastics up until I was eighteen years old,
so I was a gymnast. I was gonna go keep going.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But you, but you, when we were watching the documentary,
you were having a visceral reaction.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I literally broke down when she said Twisty, I like cried,
I stood up, I got I had to walk away.
My body started shaking when she said Twisty's I was like,
I knew it because when you do gymnastics and you
start from like four years old and you train, you
don't have fear, right when you don't know don't know
what fear is. When you hurt yourself the first time
(14:55):
or get an injury, you all of a sudden no fear.
And by the way, I'm doing gymnastics when gymnastic was
not shit. When I watched now six now I'm like,
oh my gosh, they're crazy. There's some stuff on Beam
that I was doing. When I'm watching, I'm going, I
did that.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I did that. I did that. I did that.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
There's other stuff that was like even the girl who's
doing the I don't forget the girl who's doing the
announcing of Janet, the little girl. She's even saying and
she competed in what twenty six, twenty twenty, twenty twenty,
and she's going, I didn't even do that, right, I'm saying,
oh my gosh, I did that. I did that, I
did that. But that is crazy what they're doing now.
(15:30):
If I'm saying to myself, I had the twisties. We
didn't have a name for it, and some Moanbiles gets
this thing I babe, I was like sick.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Some moan biles what she had in the twenty twenty Olympics.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
She had a case of what is called the twisties,
and she wound up dropping out of the twenty twenty Olympics,
which I gotta be honest. There was no crowds. It
was postponed. Crazy and she got a lot of backlash
from me. Yes, idiots, idiots who were saying she she
do on her team, she dropped down her country and.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
All this shit.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And then my fucking ass when you see what it is,
Oh my goodness, and old saved her life right doing that.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Because you could get killed.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
You could get killed.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Because, by the way, when I did that injury, I'll
never forget. I go to the floor. All my teammates
come around me. I'm on the floor for about thirty seconds.
I cannot move. I can't feel my feet. My coach
comes over. They start picking my feet, touching my feet.
Can you feel this?
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Can you feel that?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I can't feel anything? Do you know that my mother
shows up at the gym?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
She just shows up.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Shout out to Michellelee just shows up, by the way,
a working single mom.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Shout out to Michelle.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
By the way, my mom wore the same dress. I'm
not even exaggerating she would love that. I'm telling you
she wore the same dress for weeks to afford to
let me go to the gym. My gym, the cost
is and send me to that gym, a private club
for my training costs the same as our rent to
our apartment for us to send me there. This woman
showed up because she felt something. I don't know how
(17:00):
she showed up.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
She showed up.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I was that severely injured. I could have been paralyzed.
I could have been paralyzed from the waist down from
my injury. Okay, this is how scary it was. My
recovery was horrible. I was a good gymnast, but I
had no self esteem. My coaches would sit my mom
down and said, Kibi would be an Olympic athlete. She
just needs to believe in herself. She's so damn talented.
(17:22):
She doesn't have any self confidence. It's so below what
it needs to be. And it would be like the struggle.
My mom be like, I'm not fucking paying for this,
You've got to get your confidence up, and I'd be like.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
My mom was like, I'm gonna stop paying, but she
showed up that day. So my thing was a shout
out to you. By the way, you were the only
person that spoke up for Simone Biles. I did you
did you granted for her? Because people were like, you know,
all these people are like, I can't believe what you're
saying about her.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You know, she.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Country kidding me.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
This girl is the goat of the goat of the goat.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What she done? Anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The documentary two part documentary called Simone on Netflix is
definitely worth watching. It's easy watch, it's fun, It'll definitely
get you in the head. You should watch it asap
if you're watching the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Highly recommend.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And it's got.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Us focused along with the gold zone on Peacock and
they just won another gold medal.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
The team just won another gold medal, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And the fact that they won another gold medal and
people are still talking about Simone Bile's hair, criticizing her
fucking hair.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
She's an athlete, this is another beauty contest. She's flipping around.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
She's doing.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
One of the greatest athletes.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Of all time and they're talking about her hair.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Unbelievable, hair can't stay.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Does your hair look good when you're flipping?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
How high she flips and what speed and velocity? Like
you want her hair to stay?
Speaker 4 (18:50):
That's it to me.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It's so it's so disrespect and the racism, and but
also she's getting it from everywhere. There's definitely the racist
part of it, but she's getting it from all across
the world. I'm like, she's probably tried everything. She's literally
like when you watch her run.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Aside from super glue to just glue her edges.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
She used to get the Gorilla glue girl.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Remember the girl who glued her edges. That's what they
expect her to do accident, put glue on her hair
to glue edgen.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
But she's like a rocket.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Shi is running towards that fucking Oh my goodness, what
is it the vault. It's like a missile. Yeah, and
the velocity and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
But the fact that she even has to like like
the other day she put it on her story like
I'm gonna hold your hand for this. Don't mention my
hair again. I just respect her so much and love
her so much. She is just she's so beautiful. She's
such a the foster care and her parents and her
story is incredible.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
She's got Doude Frederick Richard, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
There's so many great stories and people with the ultimate
strength and talent. It's just inspiring and it makes with
everything else that's going on in the world, it's just, uh,
bring some levity and some joy and some inspiration that
we all really really need.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah, So even even if you're not watching watching, you
should just turn on your TV because it is very,
very relaxing and when you do watch, you will enjoy it.
And it's on NBC MSNBC, it's on the NBC Plus,
NBC Minus, it's.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
All over the Plus.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So it is the greatest reality show of the summer,
besides The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which is coming
to an end.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
It is a real end.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
And Andy did confirm that it's going through a full reboot.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Did he say it's going through a full reboot or
he agrees? I think he said he agrees, he agrees, which.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I don't think it's been announcing.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I think that's enough because that's what happened with New York.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
He agreed that it was and.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
It was I think this is just my prediction. This
is just my impulse prediction to what you just said.
I personally think the smoke is going to clear, there's
a little delay. Yeah, there's gonna be a little pause,
and I think they're going to put the screws to them. Yeah,
and I think the show. This is just my prediction.
(21:21):
I haven't heard anything. I have the inside scoop, but
I have no inside scoop. But this is just my prediction.
Maybe it's just my hope.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
That it's going to be a delay and they're going
to come back.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I don't think totally revamping Jersey is going to be
as easy as it sounds, unless either Melissa Gorga Joe
Gorga are fired or Teresa and Louis and company are fired.
Oh man, But I don't think there's a show there
because there's no conflict. We need a conflict. And we
(21:53):
don't need to say it again. We've said it millions
of times already. It's sad, but inevitably, and I hate
to use curses, but excuse my French, but we the
Olympics are in Paris. They fucked themselves, They have fucked themselves.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
So we've said it.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We've said it.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I think I have to agree.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
It's one or the other. And that's why I think
there will be a full reboot. And listen, I'm not
for it. It's how we felt about New York, and
we felt that way about New York and then guess what,
we were happy with the results.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
We're happy with New York, but we don't love New York.
There's no Ramona Singer in New York. Listen, it's only
year one, but there's no Sonia Morgan, there's no Countess.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You're right, Yeah, there's.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Different thing, a different thing.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
It's a different thing. It's a fashion show. It's a
different things. It's like a fashion show as opposed to
like a all you can eat.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Right right, like Red Lobster.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
It's like Madison Avenue versus like they're at the Red Lopster. Yeah,
you know, this last episode, we're coming to the finale,
this last episode.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Shout out to John.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Fuda oh Man in his allergy he almost died, Yeah
he really did.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And Joe Gorga but stay away, stay away from the patient.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Jo you know e n T No, Yeah, e n
T or e MT.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
You know Ean T or an EMT neither the guys
lips are swelling like a cartoon character is closing up
and you're putting you're rubbing him with ice and you
want to put vix on.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I thought he was going to break out the wind
decks like my big fat Greek wedding.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
He Fuda playing the macho Italian guy while having an
anaphylactic shock situation.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Shout out to Joe Yes for noticing that the guy
was literally about.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
The responsible adult in the room.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
And John Food is like, I'm Italian, we do this.
We know what you do is what you do is
you're going into anaphylactic shock.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
And because he took a vodka on bone marrow, the
food looked good at that. But the sad part of
the whole thing is number one, John Fuda almost died
on hammer number two. The the other part of it
that was really sad and and just indicative of the
way The Real Housewives of New Jerseys is ending this
season is they had two man meetings. This is the
(24:13):
first time they had they separated church and state. Some
of the guys who were at one at the Gorgas
and the other guys were at Louise Louise and Gorga.
They had steaks and they had bone marrow and they
were playing poker like just like Jersey guys. And then
at Louise he made them do confessionals to their woman.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
That was uncomfortable for me.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
It was a bunch of bullshit. Sorry, Louis, it's sorry.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah that was not sorry. Yeah that was I felt manipulated.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I felt manipulated.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
I don't feel like it was just like it's the
real house like we want to see that. If the
guys can't be together, if we're at the point where
not just the housewives.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Thank you, but if the house husbands can't be together.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They fought.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
It's such a good point. It's such a good point.
Don't trust it. It may we're done, We're done.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
It's and they did it to themselves. They can't figure
out when.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And it's so unfortunate because I think we have a
star on that show. And her name is Danielle and
you sent me an Instagram post of her. Uh, she
was a teenage teenager on and.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
You were a Britney Spears fan contest and she she
had she had the eye of the tiger, no fear,
no fear, bout it. She was up there talking ship
and she made a rap and it was all impromptu.
How she loves Britney Spears is excellent. A matter of fact,
Miles Jordan's play a little clip of Danielle going off
the top of the dome and going off about her love.
(25:35):
This is in the nineties, or maybe it was the nineties.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Had to have been two thousands.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Justin Timberlake JT going off about her love of Britney Spears.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
The seventh second, nineteen eighty one, Miss Britney jan Spears
is born to make uns Happy, and it's ball Town
and Carol Louisiana became native at age eleven to meet
her dream day, the one and only.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
It's justine.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yuh So, Danielle is definitely a star.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I mean, look at that.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
The Goddess of Jersey, Dolores has been great. They've all
been great. They just can't coexist. And and and and
we're done. So the season's done, and it's looking like
the show is also done, and it's it's just really
it's fucking disappointing because at the end of the day,
they didn't.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Just fuck themselves.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Sorry to use the French again, they're fucking us and
you can't fuck the fans.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
No, we're not gonna forget that.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You don't want to fuck the fans, and you don't
want to fight the fans.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
You don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, we're you know what, they messed it up. It's
they did to themselves, even though Teresa tried to do
her damage to control yest. Yeah, but it's not too
a little too late.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Too late.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
She wrote a letter in some of the other cast mates.
She was essentially apologizing for her behavior and how it's.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Affected the whole cast and then how the toxic energy.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Of the whole thing a little too late Teresa.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Too little, too late, And she also she also I
don't know if she did this on purpose. Yesterday she
posted a picture of her going to Mikonos with Louie
and she said I'm out, bitches, And I'm thinking, are
you like, does this mean you're out, you're on vacation,
(27:31):
or you're signing off for Instagram? Because the way she
worded it, it looked like she was signing off the Instagram.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
But then later I saw more posts. I'm just like,
do you know what I'm out? Bitches? Like?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
What is she out, meaning she's out of everything she's
doing at first, before it's done to her. Do you
know what I'm trying to say, Yes, like she's saying
I'm out, meaning like you can stop the show, but
I'm stopping it all first.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You're pulling the plug right right.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
That would be totally her.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I don't think she's doing that.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I want to give a shout out to her lawyer, James, because, man,
let me tell you something. I was watching him as
an actor. I was like, Yo, this is an outfit.
His get up, his glasses, the leather jacket, and when
you're like, this is a Jersey lawyer.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Full on.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
I've known James, I've met James always been nice to me.
The bloggers have a lot to say about James Leonard. Margaret, Margaret, Joseph.
She said, Teresa's lawyers from Atlantic City, my lawyers on
Madison Avenue. James Leonard has always been good with me.
I like it the way he dresses. See es Central Casting.
(28:32):
We mentioned Britney Spears Must watch documentary not great. Could
have been two episodes, but it was three episod There's
a great documentary about Loop Pearlman, Dirty Pop, Dirty Pop
and if you get a Life and Times documentary made
about you, you don't want the title dirty pop, you
(28:54):
do not, but dirty pop about Loop Pearlman, who, amongst
other things, was the mastermind.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
He was the mastermind behind n Sync.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well before that, we ought to give him credit for
the blimp right.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Into the aviation. This guy's like to catch me if
you can.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Totally because to me, before anything, the fact that he
brought the blimp and was friends with the Nazi. I
mean he was a Jewish guy who who brought the
blimp into America. You know the blimp that we used
to see when we were a kids. Year the year
blimp into.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Uh saying that ice cubes of pimp, you know, like
in scarface.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
But the fact that the blimp that used to carry
along the messages along the beaches and whatever, this guy,
that to me was wild, that part of it. But
then he really didn't even have the money to do.
This guy was just scam scammer of the scam.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Blimp people jumpies and then he I can't remember, like
I think his daughter was a big fan of New
Kids on the Block. Yeah, and he got the idea
to I mean out of nowhere. He had nothing to
do with the music business to create.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
A boy band guy in Florida, Orlando of the very
fat I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I mean a pig, but a charming pig. He could
I'm not, I guess. I mean, look, he scammed.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The ship out of everybody body, everybody, and he basically
though justin Timberlake, he gave him his fucking career.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
There's no justin Timberlake.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Without this this Pearlman, Louke.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Perlman, who created the back Street Boys, the Pig problem,
the pig Perlman. And we were only saying not because
it looks because what he had the longest running scam
in American history.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
More than that, made off for real.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Scammed regular people, borrowed from this person, put it against
that person, borrowed again from that person, took from this bank.
He would forge bank documents, forge legal documents, take money
from this place. And he fucked over the Backstreet Boys
and then SYNC, and he fucked over to so many
(30:58):
innocent people because people would invest it. I mean, this
is guy's like literally like some burning made off shit totally.
So if you want a good fun again, it's not.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Not fun haha fun.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
But an interesting like how can somebody get Away with
It documentary.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Don't understand it, Like I just don't understand because I
feel like, as we're watching it, I was like, hello, like,
can't we see that this guy is not.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Did they say he scammed billions or five hundred million,
five hundred million?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I think, yeah, I mean, and.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
But that was then.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
So when he das dollar he died. People never got
paid back. They still don't know where in the middles.
No perman I'm gonna give I mean, this isn't this
is a fact. This is not a you know, not
a giveaway, not a giveaway. And you could tell if
you're watching the documentary, this guy's eventually gonna wind up
in jail.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
He wind up in jail, and then he wind up
dying in jail.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Because he was unhealthy from the beginning of the documentary,
which is thirty years before the end of the documentary.
And again it just reminded me of burning made off
and catch me if you can.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Uh, he didn't.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
He was no Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Hanks. Yeah, he's
not a fat Leonardo DiCaprio or a fat Tom Hanks.
This guy is a real shister too. Bit just I mean,
and it's just the way somebody could lie to your face.
He's lying to people and knowing that he's taking their
money and never gonna pay them back. I don't understand
that part when you're telling people I'm gonna pay you
(32:24):
and you know you're not.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And for it to go on so long and not
pay people back and not for the word not to
get along. I think it has a lot to do
with like make having some success with making people famous.
But it seemed like it took a long time for
instinct to get famous in America. See, they had fame
somewhere else, Germany. In Germany first right.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
He broke a Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So it just seems like to me, it didn't get
around that he wasn't legit like it's just fine. It
was like he was sloppy and he didn't seem like
usually somebody is good looking so they have something to
get over that. I don't know. The guy really really
worked people over, and I find it to be fair.
I'm up.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
You know these.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Documentaries when we're watching them, when people do this, it
makes us literally angry. We're like in bed pissed.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
He get.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
He really really was frustrating to watch, but it's a
fast It should be a movie.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
It really really should be a movie.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Eight one hundred percent should be a movie the way
the whole thing played out. Finally, the great jaxtailor the
one and only number one guy in the group, I
want to give him a shout out and wish him
a Rapaports reality recovery. He has checked himself into a
rehab for mental distress and uh, you know, just sort
(33:42):
of his mental well being, his mental wellness.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
It does say anything about drugs.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Okay, well we saw that, we could see that coming.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I'm sure the stress of jaxtailor the stress goodness, you know,
living up to being the number one guy in the group.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Maybe maybe it's well that.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Was self perfect toll on him.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah, would anybody if you're gonna profess to be that?
And we're not doing him any favors by calling him that.
I really hope he gets better and I hope it
brings him and Brittany back together. I hate to see
anybody break up. They got a kid, this television reality thing,
getting in fights on TV and she's like, uh, what
does she say to him?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Suck it go to hell, Jack Taylor to go to
hell Jack's tail.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yeah, that's you know, we don't want to see that.
I hope he does well, and I hope it works
out for him, and I hope they get back together.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
He's been on his mental wellness journey for a while though,
even on Vanner put seeing the psychic or the therapist,
and then.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
He started and start the therapist.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah, he's been on it.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So we hopefully he's at an all male place, yes, because.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
No females around Scott could seduce hect seduce him. He's
been known to seduce the men too. Remember we lived
with the guy.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
We're gonna we're.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Gonna let that slip because we want the best for Jack. Now,
if that's his path, that's cool too.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
But I was happy to see that he had checked
himself into a place to help improve himself, his mental
well being and hopefully maybe his relationship with Brittany, and
if not, if they're not going to stay together, that.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
They can co parent and they can get along well.
I mean, he said it many times on TV.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I'm not well.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
You've heard him say it, like I'm not doing okay,
and his eyes start to bug out and he does
not he looks like he could snap. He has said it, Manbeah,
he has said it. He has said I'm not I'm
not okay.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Over the years, over the years he said it.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
I mean he's walked in and he snapped on l
v P and like, you know, he's done some things
as wild.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Right, he said, my showdown, that's the bottom, the bottom
of the list.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Of the things he oh.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Yeah, he needs.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Good for him for knowing when to call it quits
and go get himself help, right. I feel for him
and I want I want.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
The best route for Jack.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
I really root for that guy.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yo, we've never met Jack Seller. I'd be excited.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I would be him more so than your other guy.
You're Tom Sandoval, not not a fan, but Jack's I really.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
