Speaker 1 (00:02):
Josh Brold's a blue chip guy. He doesn't do a lot,
and so is Julia Gardner. But I'm looking at the screen.
I'm like, if I entertain measure, I'm like, that's definitely bigger.
But it ain't much bigger. See, I don't know, and
I don't care. That's a problem.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm gonna be tossing these little bastards all over the place,
throw them against walls, throw them into the street, throw
them under the buses. If there's a bunch of zombie
kids who want to fucking try me, knock yourself out.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Reread the letter.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Wow, it says, Babe, you've been on my mind all day,
not just thinking about you, feeling you.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Starr it like stop period.
Speaker 3 (00:41):

My name is Michael Rapport. But would you say, baby,
you just look like you got some sun. I think
(01:40):
I've gotten a little bit more sun that I wanted to. Yeah,
I was sitting in the sun.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I was meandering around Soho on Prince Street. It's never bad.
I know. New York is wonderful when when you're out
and about in the village on a beautiful day, there's
no other place like it. There's places that have energy
that are similar that I've been to. And I'm not
(02:07):
a world traveler, nor is Kibi, but when you're in
New York City on a great day, it's just there's
nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I agree, even over here when I went to when
I walked up up the street to get my nails done,
I thought, wow, because there's a little breeze.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's still very, very hot. It's calm.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
The city's calm people. I heard somebody say, yeah, I
hope it picks up soon. I think people are still
away for the summer. But you know, everybody's got shorts
on and flip flops and I don't know, there's something
really really wonderful about it.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And you got your nails done?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
What do we go with?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Let me see?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I did French French? Is that a color?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
A French manicure? But it's a thing. It's like the
tips are kind of white?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But is that is that a color? That's a style
of manicure?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yes? Then how did you make that choice? That looks good?
But like, how do you Well? A lot of times
you'll run it up the flagpole. You'll say, babe, what
do you think?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And I go, I I'm not very adventurous. Like listen,
I like red, classic red, like egg plant?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I like or black? Usually black egg plant.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
No, the black I get is like link after dark
Lincoln Park black.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Right, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I just was looking at Birdie some website and they
have a section called nails. There's every kind of nail.
There's like angel dip nails. There's one I kind of
wanted her to do this, but like dip the very
very thin tip and gold.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
They actually dip it. Well, this is powder. But do
they take your nails and dip them in the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, it's kind of gross because as many nails that
go in that powder, I don't want to think about
it much.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I want to get rid of these. Do you have
a nail place that you're happy with, because.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm happy with this girl that I'm there with, But
you know what, I switch girls and the other girl
I try to do it on her day off when
she's not there, and today she was filling in for
somebody else, so she was there.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
She's the one who when I kept getting kissed. Yes,
I think she was. I think she was annoyed. I
don't know. It's the nail salons, always the nails.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like You're like, there's a woman up the street that
I literally walk on the other side because if she
sees me and I haven't gone back to her.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's a whole thing. I literally do that. And sometimes
I yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And I duck behind you because she's she owns it
and she's sitting there.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
The nail thing is women with their nails and nail salons,
and they like the person, they don't like the person
that like the place and don't and there's always discussions
of cleanliness.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh yes, that's a big factor. Now, I must say
today I was like this joint is not that clean.
And then she you know, because it's powder, and she's
filing and the dust is going. And now they have
this thing on the table that sucks the dust supposedly
into the table, but they don't think they really always work.
And it was flicking around and I had just spoke
(04:56):
to my mom and she said, you know, I really
wish that you would go now. You know that none
of that stuff is good. I said, I don't go
under the UIV lights, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
She said, doesn't. What's it going to do? I love
in New York City. Like what I'm breathing now is
not can't be good. It's like, what's gonna happen? You
gotta roll the dice. Sometimes I think it looks good.
We have a French We have a french Man. We
must discuss our impromptu date afternoon. It wasn't a date night.
(05:27):
Keb and I were sitting around on a Sunday afternoon
in the summer, dipping our feet in and out of
the pool slash hot tub, and for some reason I
kept seeing reviews, excited reviews and comments about the movie Weapons,
starring the great Josh Brolin, who everybody knows loves every
(05:53):
he's an actor who you know. I don't think people
would ever say he's my favorite actor. But he's the
type back to people go, yeah, I fucking love Josh Bowlin.
He's always good, he always does good movies. He's cool.
He's had a great career since Goonies and so forth
and so on. Of course, no country for old men.
He certified platinum and a young actress who I really like,
(06:15):
Julia Garner. But I was scrolling on Instagram and I
kept seeing weapons weapons. I didn't see the trailer.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
People talking about it or actual trailers.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Fucking got me. Yeah, because no trailers. Yeah, so you
said you kept saying I heard it was good, and
now this statement I saw from Instagram. Yeah. Well, by
the way, I'm back on my phone. You people want
to know about that?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Oh, I mean listen, oh ye of Little Faith. I
didn't think that it was going to last long. But
I'm really disappointed that it lasted as long as it did.
It didn't meaning you, by the way, I'm back on
my phone. Yes, it took a week, baby, he's not
(07:00):
prag barely hit two weeks. And the reason we should
tell everyone, the reason why I wanted to go on
a date. Is I really loved not a phone guy? Yeah,
I mean I deeply love you, but not a phone guy.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
My phone guy's a better guy. Oh, he's such a
great guy. He's like president. He's available guy. He's all
fucked up.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Phone guy is stressed. He doesn't know he's stressed. He's
like scrolling endlessly. I am kind of by nature not
a phone girl, because also like I'm private. So like,
the more you're available on your phone, the more people. Yeah,
I just it's not my thing.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
But you my friend back on the phone.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And so when you kept saying they, you know you
take phone calls in the morning, So.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I, Dean usually are my friend Dean, who's the young
shooter from the Iron Wrap pers Toby usually give you.
I don't trust Toby love Toby, don't love his movie.
But Dean I trust. And he'll also curate his suggestions
for me. He'll go, I liked it. I know you
won't like it. I wouldn't see it. And if somebody
says I wouldn't see it if I were you, I
trust them because then that's a customized curated review. Right,
(08:07):
I was saying, I keep hearing it's good, and I
should have just said I keep seeing on social media
that it's good. Now this movie Weapons, I'm not gonna
say it wasn't good. I just thought it was going
to be a kid disappear suspense thriller. Yes, that's what
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't know where you would get that from from
the trailer. Now, let me just say, yes, yes, I looked,
because I.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Don't know we watched the trailer. Actually, we watched the
trailer while we were waiting for the movie. So let's
watch the trailer for the movie. We went to go
see Sight Unseen, and yes, I remember we were sitting
in the theater.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
So and then I began to get nervous just going
back though, I forgot to say that. The reason why
I was so excited about you saying, hey, do you
want to go to the movies today?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That hasn't happened in a long time. I don't think
when the last time, I think a year ago, we
went to the movies. It's sad at that same time
movie theater. So I took you up on it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I didn't even question when you said i've heard it's good.
I've heard it's really good. I've been hearing it's really good.
I said, okay, I trust you, and we proceeded to
get in the car and go.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Josh Baron's a blue chip guy. He doesn't do a lot,
and so is Julia Gardner. Josh like decade, like two
decades of that ship film. I get it. And and
what I was seeing on social media. Ak, what I
was hearing, this is great. It's the movie of the summer.
It's a thriller, it's a kid's disappearing. Upah, you made
(09:33):
a reference. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You made a reference to Taken and another movie where
the dad has to find that is it Taking?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It was with Terrence Howard, Paul Dano and Wolverine. That movie.
I can't remember that, and that was like kids disappears,
like we're gonna find our kids. And then yes, I
can't remember that, and I know everybody's like, it's this,
I can't remember it. We don't fact check. I can
fact check. I'm not fact checking. And it's not important.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Moor.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Part is that we got very excited.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You literally stood up, we bathings were all and said
I'm gonna get ready. I said, I'm gonna ready too.
And you said, I'm really actually excited to.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Go out three fifteen start. We left the house two fifteen.
We got to the movie theater at half an hour
in advance. We got a large popcorn, both of us
got two things of candy a piece and giant, the
biggest fucking diet cokes you could get. Yeah, and we
sat in the theater and all my candy was gone
before the movie started. Y it sucks. And I had
(10:31):
mine in my bag. I didn't finish mine. You didn't
finish your bag, and you brought it home.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I've never done that. It was discussed just because I'd
never not finished candy.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, that's weird. And once you get milk duds and.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Milk duds in junior mins and I've never finished it,
And I was like, I'm not throwing these away. They
were a full and but I couldn't believe that you
didn't ask me for mine after you finish yours.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I would have asked you for yours, but I felt
shame that I finished my candy before the trailers even started,
and you.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Really didn't even dive into that popcorn.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
No, yeah, so have boxes of cad wrong? Then?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I mean, like we're not doing it right. It's been
a long time since we've done this thing that we
used to used to do it. You looked at me
and you said, Babe, do you have anxiety? Anxiety? Because
is it because we're I say it's because we don't
leave the house. Or you said maybe we need to
practice going out more.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And when we were buying the tickets, it was like,
there's two seats left, and we get to the theater
a half an hour early. We we literally sat down
twenty five minutes before the three fifteen start, and we
were the first people in there. And I gotta say,
I don't know if this is the new generation. I
gotta say, I don't know if this is younger people.
People were coming into the movie well after three fifteen
(11:46):
to like going to the movies. Okay, get it, you
don't have to be there twenty five minutes in advance
like us too, lunatic. I think things have.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Changed, babe, because we sat there and we watched probably
twenty minutes of like the fake commercial commercial commercial for
coke and regular TV commercials and little games, and we
played the games and whatever, and then it was what time.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You asked me what time it was.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It was three twenty five and the movie started playing
trailers and then hence the movie didn't start. We sat
there a whole forty five minutes before the movie started.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
That's thirty five minutes. Thirty five minutes. That's different. That sucks.
So I think other people know that because they frequent
the movies, and we did that right, and it was
a sign seating, no rush. We're the idiots sitting there.
I mean, candy exhausted. I didn't even want to see
the movie. It was dark. My eyes.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I realized, I think probably should be wearing glasses because
the darkness. Then I was thinking about our big TV
at home and a couch.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Listen I don't. I was thinking this is nice. I'm
thinking that that screen up there ain't much. It's bigger
than our screen. We were TV at home. It ain't
much bigger. I know, like, and we were kind of
it was small. But I'm looking at that screen. I'm like,
if I had a tame measure, I'm like, that's definitely bigger,
but it ain't much bigger. Nonetheless, in hindsight, Weapons of
(13:07):
the movie starring the great Josh Brolin and the up
and coming great Julia Garner. I think it was a
very very well done movie for what it was. I
weed it was a horror movie, babe. It was a
horror thriller. And the thing that I have a problem
with with horror thrillers is they don't give you the
(13:27):
rule book. And when I say rule book, I mean
I believe that one woman in the film she was
a witch, Yes, but she was a witch that seemed
to be turning people into zombies, which I have a
problem with, Like they don't say, oh, there's a witch,
or they don't say, oh, these are zombies, and then
I start thinking, are they vampires? I know a zombie
(13:49):
when I see one, Because zombies, based on what I
know and I'm not an expert, obviously, they're hard to kill.
You hit them with a fucking bat, so they keep going.
You throw them off a building, they keep going. There's
a certain thing you have to do, and I think
you got to put a spell on him, or like
throw apple juice on them, or there's like a mixture
(14:09):
of things to garlic, garlic to the vampires. You listen,
it's a silver bullet. I was, I don't know, what
isn't it? You gotta shoot him with a silver bullet.
Isn't that a vampire? I don't know what I'm saying. See,
I don't know, and I don't care. That's the problem. Problem,
that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
It's like what we are sitting there and it's first
of all the trailers getting through the trailers in the movie.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What is going on? Can I talk to the people
of the world. Why is there so much darkness? Like?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Why what happened to the boy meets girl Sally? Yeah,
boy loses girl, boy gets the girl back.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
We have Ryan Gossen kissing in the ring.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Please the notebook give me something uplifting, because every trailer
was one demon darkness, hate boss? What is this?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
What's happening? I don't know where then is, or where
Sally is, or we need Ryan Gossen?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No wonder why everybody is so desensitized what we're watching here?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I don't so by the time the movie started and
I started great romantic comedy ever again, I don't know.
I don't think people would like it. I think they
like this kind of dying.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
These are the type of movies that make so much money,
the scary horror movies.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What was that Postman always ring, You've got mail, You've
got mad like where's Meg Ryan, Where's Timmy? Like where
are these actors? Like they have to make it was
too much. Bush's coming to dinner. Let's go way back.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh, it was horrible. I you know what I felt
when we walked it. First of all, you stood up
immediately when it was over. We grabbed our trash and
you looked wobbly on your your legs didn't seem secure.
And then I was kind of judging you, was like,
is he getting old? He can't find the steps that
they turned the lights on, but I started to feel
weak in.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The knees, like I felt like there for four hours.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I know, but that and the darkness and readjusting to
the light.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I mean, I know a lout of movie theaters because
I don't want to fall. Oh is that way? I'm
not familiar with that movie theater, Like you know they
have like a sudden step. Yes, like, yes, I was
weak in these Yes I was a little stiffy, But
I'm very cautious in those dark movie theaters. Especially. We
were sitting there for like an after night.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I know, But I asked you what because the movie
gets is really gory. It's really intense gory. These children
are possessed, they're locked in a basement. They could eat people,
they eat a lady. It's just I'm yeah, spoiler alert
because I'm advising you probably not to see it. And
I asked you, wait, hold on, I asked you, are
you affected by this movie?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And you said no not. I laugh at these little
fucking Let me tell you something to me, babe, the
whole drive home, you said, fucking demon kids. If a
bunch of third graders want to fucking run up on
me like they ran up on that lady, knock yourself out,
I'm gonna be tossing these little bastards all over the place,
throwing them against walls, throw them into the street, throw
(16:58):
them under buses. If there's a bunch of zombie kids
who want to fucking try me, knock yourself out, I'm
not gonna go. I can't get that. I can't biting me.
You're not eating me alive, you're not doing any you're
not setting me on fire. I will fuck up an
entire class of third graders who have been who I
don't play that shit, Okay, babe, that's hilarious. I'm gonna
(17:20):
go anyway. I will say for people that the movie
is a very very well done, well acted, well directed.
It's a well put together story. I think, yes, yes,
and and you know, if you're into those continents, or
even if you you should know, we didn't know. We
didn't fact check, we didn't we didn't trailer check what
we were getting ourselves into. That being said, it is fun,
it is entertaining, and of course those actors and the
(17:42):
director are top rank pedigree people.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I enjoyed the date. I enjoyed spending time with you,
but all I could think of is the.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Valley before you go into the Do you want to
share what I did for you today?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Do you want to share with it with everybody what
I did for you today?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yes, you went out and you brought me back the
sweetest card.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You want to read it to the people? Go ahead?
Do I want to read it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, I guess you want me to read it because
you're going to hand it to me. I gotta tell
you it's the most beautiful little card because it's a
piece of paper like art paper, shaped like a heart,
and in tiny things it says, I heart you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's wonderful beautiful paper. I got it from a bookstore.
There's a bookstore rand McNally, and it's like, it's so
unusual to go into a bookstore and it's in a
little hole in the wall. It's a big bookstore on
Prince Street in Manhattan, and I'm just fascinated that it
still exists. And I was thinking about you deeply, and
(18:54):
I said, I want to get Babe a book. Then
I was like, it's so hard to get and I
know you're not a photo book person. I was like,
I saw some photo books, but I was like, this
is probably something she's gonna know that I'm getting for myself.
Plus I'm not in the photo book collecting stage of
my life anymore. I'm trying to keep things to a minimum.
And then I asked the woman. I said, excuse me,
do you work here and see us? I said, I
would like to buy my wife a gift. And she
(19:15):
looked up because I was like, this is this is
like people are like, it shows you what's going on
in the world. Yeah. Yeah, she looked up. She's like,
oh on. I said, you know, actually it'd be too
hard to have you give me a novel. I don't
have time for that and although you have suggestions, and
first I wanted to get you like some sort of
you know, one of these books with quotes about love
(19:37):
or this, that and the third. And she gave me
a couple of suggestions. One was very helpful. And then
I obviously didn't buy that. And they had a beautiful
section this this bookstore on Print Street, they have a
beautiful section for cards. And I was like, let me
just get baby cards and I can use my words
and write you the CARDR word. Reread the letter.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Wow, it says, Babe, you've been on my mind all day,
not just thinking about you, feeling you.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Storio it. Wait stop, okay, period, Let me let me
read that. Let me let me read that. You want
you want to hear it in your own I want
I want to hear it. I want to. I want
to Babe, You've been on my mind all day, not
just thinking about you, feeling you. Period. Keep going.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I adore you every single wait, give it to me.
I adore you every single day. I don't have my
glasses on.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I adore you every single day. I adore you and
every single part of you. I am lucky you are
my wife again. Period. And then and then and then
it says because you you are my calm and you
(20:55):
are my fire. I love you, Michael. And then you
could read the PS.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
That's when I got suspicious. It says ps chat GPT
did it right?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
This?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
For me?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I wanted to be clear that because I know, you
know what, for.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Some reason, I feel like that's not true. And I'll
tell you where you lost me. You are my calm
and my fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's just that's
just that I'm just not convinced that that's.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
One true or like I've never heard you say you're
my fire, you are my calm and my fire. I've
heard you say that's fire, babe. It was really sweet.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You listen, guys, Mike and I have been preoccupied with
a lot of stuff in life, and I asked.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Him, you know that he needs to pour a little
bit more loving to me. She's asking me very basic things, and.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
They're basic for most people. No, most men would probably
react the way. But when you said poor, that sounds
like a lot like a jug, right.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
You said to me, I would I need you to pour?
And I would. That's when, because like twenty minutes later,
I was like, wait a minute, when you say poor,
like I could do sprinkles, I could do like, you know,
like poor for a sip in there. But when you're
saying poor, I'm like, what does that mean? You're fucking gallon?
We're you talking about the big things like that, like
(22:16):
oh my gosh, listen, so how much how much love?
I don't know if I could do that? Listen, but
I mean you don't know. If you can do it,
you can poor, you can pour love into me. Listen.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
This year December, we're coming up on a lot of
years together. This is where the real work begins. You know.
I said to you, I think we're getting a little comfortable,
and you know, our intimate life is fine, but we're
just the regular mundane thing. That's why I like not
a phone guy, because he was more present. I think
we both need to be not take each other for granted.
(22:48):
We're best friends, were like the same person, and that
can get very dangerous in a relationships. I said, I
need you to pour. I couldn't figure out another way
to say, like.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
You know, no, that's a balid thing. I just thought
I was like poor, So so the wh when we
would you say that? Card? Now? I was going for
a joke here, like you know, I was. I was.
I wanted you know that. I was thinking. I was like,
let me, let me, let me just you know, be
funny but thoughtful is a card that's this doesn't feel
like poring?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Okay, all right, I'm not using the right word. I
was like, then when do I say, pay a fuck attention?
Just do something for me nice, like you have to
do that. You used to do it more all the time,
and and it hasn't been a long time. I just
I like to stay ahead of things.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're five hundred right. You are extremely in tune with
what you need. You're extremely in tune with love, You're
extremely in tune with relationships. You're you're extremely in tune
with feelings. And I am not arguing at all. And
that's why I wanted to get you that card and
(23:50):
write that original note from the bottom of my heart
and did not use chat GPT for only the rewrite
of it. Anyway. But wait, wait, one thing.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Remember when you came home from out a town, I said,
did you go in the bedroom? And I had changed
the picture TV screen to a little note to you
this is like pouring and meaning it's daily it's like
little things to I know you love me. You look,
I don't get it, but you gotta. You know, Listen,
I just walked down the street and a guy said
to me, nice outfit, lady. I was like, hey, you know,
(24:23):
we got to give each other, not that I donated
from the Amazon delivery guy. I see me and I
see you, and I think that we've been slipping a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And so this card is a lovely, lovely. And that's
why we don't need to go see fucking weapons now.
I need Ryan Gossling, your ring and somebody else. Romance.
We need to see romance shit for real. Yes, you
(24:53):
mentioned The Valley?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yes, oh boy? How good is that show? Can you
believe at one point that we were going to turn
our backs on that show?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah? Hi, dare we? How dare we? They earned it?
The Valley Reunion three parts is not fun. It ain't lighthearted. No,
it's not a romantic comedy by any means. No, there's
nothing even They don't even try to make it fun
or light.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
But it is very very very good, excellent killing it. Yeah,
and for a three part reunion for a show in
its second season, it is compelling. It is dramatic. It's
real Christian dody again.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I mean, how does she come out pregnant and the
voice of reason. We've seen her go through so much
and now we're seeing there. I mean, she's tearing up
on Jack's confessing that he's, you know, got all these
struggles which she knew.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
It's been a great, great reunion. Excellent, I mean really, really,
really good reunion. And if you haven't gotten into The Valley,
I strongly suggest, because it's only two seasons, get in now.
I will tell you again this is not a show
for the faint of heart. No, this is not all
about the glitz and glamour and the hootsies and the tootsies.
(26:13):
This is about relationships and they are not functional. Aka,
they are dysfunctional. Another thing we started, which is our yearly.
What were you gonna say, babe?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Oh no, I was just gonna say, speaking of the Valley,
And what makes it so good is I think that
some of these characters, these people that we don't know
so well, and they're sharing their real life. It almost
could be like a Paul Thomas Anderson novily like that.
What's happening with the character of the Valley being an
additional element the valley itself being a character is what
(26:49):
I meant to say. But I just think this show
has legs that are going to run. I mean, it's
gonna get better and better.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I think I totally agree. But like we said, and
I don't want to get into the debate next season,
they said Jackson, apparently they're shooting now. Oh okay, allegedly
apparently they're shooting now. They're getting ready to shoot, and
Jackson is not going to be a part of season
three as of now. They might start shooting season three
and be like, we need him. He's a big part
(27:17):
of the show. Yeah, he is him, and Brittany is
a big part. And you want to see them this
way when people go he's a dick, you want to
see them figure something out. Yes, for the betterment of
themselves and their kid. That's what I mean when I go, like,
you're rooting for them, I know, but he's hard to
root for him because he's such a fucking dysfunctional character.
(27:37):
He may not have it, he may not, but you
want it, We want it.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But if they put him on and he doesn't have
it and the behavior, it gets too toxic and too dark.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Like, right now, we're on the edge. We're in real
life stuff here. I mean, and if you take it.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Too far and he can't make these improvements, I mean,
I just read on Reality Tea that he's not contributing
to the mortgage or paying for expenses allegedly, So like,
if that's happening.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Now, and I don't believe any I gotta be honest.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Babe, we don't believe anything, right, because I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Gonna pivot into this Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern Show
being canceled is so ridiculous. If you weren't really paying attention,
you're like, oh, the Howard Stern Show's canceled and he's
never coming back. First of all, Howard Stern Show always
goes on break during the summer. Yes, the fact that
mainstream news outlets gossip sites are literally saying the Howard
(28:33):
Stern Show and Howard Stern is canceled, it's done is
crazy to me because I'm a serious sexim subscriber. We
know who I am. I mess around with the Howard
Stern Show people. I'm in the Howard Stern Show Fantasy
football league. Even if Howard Stern was never coming back,
his contract isn't up until January. But if you're not
paying attention, you're like, he's done. They canceled his show.
(28:54):
They canceled him because of this, that and the third.
And it's insane. I mean, there's no bad publicity year.
I feel like we go through.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Is Howard retiring and this deal, that deal?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Is he going to come back? He does it, He
does it. He hymns and hauls on the show about
coming back. So I get it. I know it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
But also there's something that's in the press right now
that he can't stand the Alex Cooper Howard can't stand
or he doesn't understand these young people like this. Everything
we read is I'm just saying reality tea that has
reality show news kind of thing. It was taken from
an interview with her. She basically said maybe she said it.
I'll watch what happens to listen.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Allegedly, but I'm just saying we can see in the reunion, babe,
that he's o contrarian. I mean everything, he's sober, but
not from this, sober from that, but not from that.
You know, this is a guy who has a long
road ahead of him and he may not need to
be on television to do it. I think it's we're
entertained by it. But that poor girl, her tears, Yes,
(29:55):
this is why it's so good because it shows such
realness and we know her from vander put so her tears,
that's pain that she has is deep. Yes, And I
think if he was worthy of a comeback where they
could show an arc in their relationship somehow co parenting,
consciously or whatever, I think they would bring it.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
You don't want to see it get any worse. No, no, no, no,
you don't want to see it get any worse, and
you don't want to put it out there on TV
while it's getting worse. Right that being said, it's great
television which brings us to another reality. One of the
first reality TV shows. I think it's a twenty fifth
of twenty sixth season of HBO's Hard Knocks, which we
(30:34):
watch every single year. We love it. I seriously think
that it is softcore porn For you, babe, I feel
like you're watching soft core porn. Although the kids are
now they're really young and it's like now you're you're
a weirdo. But for me, I enjoy it because it
gets me ready for football season. You learn about the players.
For you, I think it's like soft you know what.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I wouldn't call it porn, but it makes me giggle
and twinkle a little, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yes, it's slow motion and the athletic. No, some of
them are older than that's old enough, but it's it's
a good show. It's my favorite show.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
You know. Also, we're coming towards the end of summer.
You guys know that I'm not a heat person. It's
heat is not my favorite. And when that show comes
on and that NFL music, I start to hear that looming, right,
I know that the fall is approaching, football season approaching.
It's at chili Weather. Yes, I get excited about that
(31:34):
time of year.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Well, it's really good at they're following the Buffalo Bills
and Josh Allen, Jumbo Josh Allen who's married to the
actress Harley steininfl Steinfeld Steinfeld Steinfeld, who was just in
the another vampire movie of Sinners and a bunch of
other stuff. She's a kick ass young actress also, and
then it has this other player, Dion Dawkins. And it's
a great season and it's always fun and it's totally
(31:58):
a reality TV show, really one of the first. It's
been around for years and it really leave Schreiber's the
voiceover guy. Still. Yeah, it's a great show and it's
always entertaining. It's fun. And if the ladies, if you
could care less about football, oh you'll care, they'll care
tune in ladies anyway. So that's our recommendations. We give
(32:21):
two thumbs up, but be prepared for vampires, blood gore,
zombies for weapons. Two humongous thumbs up for The Valley
season one, season two, and of course the three part
reunion and HBO Hard Knocks and Kibi's what is it
French tip? French tip? Manicure? Yeah, French yeah, tip manicures.
(32:43):
Do you want to give a shout out to your manicure?
What's your name?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
She's new, so I don't I don't know her name.
This is only my second time get the cur Yeah.
I didn't want to get too excited.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I got it anyway. Make sure you're tell a friend
who're telling a friend about Rappa Ports Reality, and make
sure you follow on Instagram at rapper Ports Reality. And
even though I did have chat, GPT helped me out
with my little note. I mean every single word of that,
even though that wasn't my exact wording. Love you babe,
I love you babe.
Josh Brold's a blue chip guy. He doesn't do a lot,
and so is Julia Gardner. But I'm looking at the screen.
I'm like, if I entertain measure, I'm like, that's definitely bigger.
But it ain't much bigger. See, I don't know, and
I don't care. That's a problem.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm gonna be tossing these little bastards all over the place,
throw them against walls, throw them into the street, throw
them under the buses. If there's a bunch of zombie
kids who want to fucking try me, knock yourself out.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Reread the letter.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Wow, it says, Babe, you've been on my mind all day,
not just thinking about you, feeling you.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Starr it like stop period.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Ps chat, GPT did it write this from me?

Boom? We are back that portrayality. There's Mike and I'm
Kiev Rapaport. This is Rapaport's Reality, our podcast where we

My name is Michael Rapport. But would you say, baby,
you just look like you got some sun. I think
(01:40):
I've gotten a little bit more sun that I wanted to. Yeah,
I was sitting in the sun.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I was meandering around Soho on Prince Street. It's never bad.
I know. New York is wonderful when when you're out
and about in the village on a beautiful day, there's
no other place like it. There's places that have energy
that are similar that I've been to. And I'm not
(02:07):
a world traveler, nor is Kibi, but when you're in
New York City on a great day, it's just there's
nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I agree, even over here when I went to when
I walked up up the street to get my nails done,
I thought, wow, because there's a little breeze.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's still very, very hot. It's calm.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
The city's calm people. I heard somebody say, yeah, I
hope it picks up soon. I think people are still
away for the summer. But you know, everybody's got shorts
on and flip flops and I don't know, there's something
really really wonderful about it.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And you got your nails done?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
What do we go with?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Let me see?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I did French French? Is that a color?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
A French manicure? But it's a thing. It's like the
tips are kind of white?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But is that is that a color? That's a style
of manicure?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You?
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yes? Then how did you make that choice? That looks good?
But like, how do you Well? A lot of times
you'll run it up the flagpole. You'll say, babe, what
do you think?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And I go, I I'm not very adventurous. Like listen,
I like red, classic red, like egg plant?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I like or black? Usually black egg plant.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
No, the black I get is like link after dark
Lincoln Park black.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Right, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I just was looking at Birdie some website and they
have a section called nails. There's every kind of nail.
There's like angel dip nails. There's one I kind of
wanted her to do this, but like dip the very
very thin tip and gold.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
They actually dip it. Well, this is powder. But do
they take your nails and dip them in the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yes, it's kind of gross because as many nails that
go in that powder, I don't want to think about
it much.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I want to get rid of these. Do you have
a nail place that you're happy with, because.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm happy with this girl that I'm there with, But
you know what, I switch girls and the other girl
I try to do it on her day off when
she's not there, and today she was filling in for
somebody else, so she was there.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
She's the one who when I kept getting kissed. Yes,
I think she was. I think she was annoyed. I
don't know. It's the nail salons, always the nails.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Like You're like, there's a woman up the street that
I literally walk on the other side because if she
sees me and I haven't gone back to her.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's a whole thing. I literally do that. And sometimes
I yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And I duck behind you because she's she owns it
and she's sitting there.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
The nail thing is women with their nails and nail salons,
and they like the person, they don't like the person
that like the place and don't and there's always discussions
of cleanliness.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh yes, that's a big factor. Now, I must say
today I was like this joint is not that clean.
And then she you know, because it's powder, and she's
filing and the dust is going. And now they have
this thing on the table that sucks the dust supposedly
into the table, but they don't think they really always work.
And it was flicking around and I had just spoke
(04:56):
to my mom and she said, you know, I really
wish that you would go now. You know that none
of that stuff is good. I said, I don't go
under the UIV lights, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
She said, doesn't. What's it going to do? I love
in New York City. Like what I'm breathing now is
not can't be good. It's like, what's gonna happen? You
gotta roll the dice. Sometimes I think it looks good.
We have a French We have a french Man. We
must discuss our impromptu date afternoon. It wasn't a date night.
(05:27):
Keb and I were sitting around on a Sunday afternoon
in the summer, dipping our feet in and out of
the pool slash hot tub, and for some reason I
kept seeing reviews, excited reviews and comments about the movie Weapons,
starring the great Josh Brolin, who everybody knows loves every
(05:53):
he's an actor who you know. I don't think people
would ever say he's my favorite actor. But he's the
type back to people go, yeah, I fucking love Josh Bowlin.
He's always good, he always does good movies. He's cool.
He's had a great career since Goonies and so forth
and so on. Of course, no country for old men.
He certified platinum and a young actress who I really like,
(06:15):
Julia Garner. But I was scrolling on Instagram and I
kept seeing weapons weapons. I didn't see the trailer.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
People talking about it or actual trailers.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Fucking got me. Yeah, because no trailers. Yeah, so you
said you kept saying I heard it was good, and
now this statement I saw from Instagram. Yeah. Well, by
the way, I'm back on my phone. You people want
to know about that?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Oh, I mean listen, oh ye of Little Faith. I
didn't think that it was going to last long. But
I'm really disappointed that it lasted as long as it did.
It didn't meaning you, by the way, I'm back on
my phone. Yes, it took a week, baby, he's not
(07:00):
prag barely hit two weeks. And the reason we should
tell everyone, the reason why I wanted to go on
a date. Is I really loved not a phone guy? Yeah,
I mean I deeply love you, but not a phone guy.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
My phone guy's a better guy. Oh, he's such a
great guy. He's like president. He's available guy. He's all
fucked up.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Phone guy is stressed. He doesn't know he's stressed. He's
like scrolling endlessly. I am kind of by nature not
a phone girl, because also like I'm private. So like,
the more you're available on your phone, the more people. Yeah,
I just it's not my thing.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
But you my friend back on the phone.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And so when you kept saying they, you know you
take phone calls in the morning, So.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I, Dean usually are my friend Dean, who's the young
shooter from the Iron Wrap pers Toby usually give you.
I don't trust Toby love Toby, don't love his movie.
But Dean I trust. And he'll also curate his suggestions
for me. He'll go, I liked it. I know you
won't like it. I wouldn't see it. And if somebody
says I wouldn't see it if I were you, I
trust them because then that's a customized curated review. Right,
(08:07):
I was saying, I keep hearing it's good, and I
should have just said I keep seeing on social media
that it's good. Now this movie Weapons, I'm not gonna
say it wasn't good. I just thought it was going
to be a kid disappear suspense thriller. Yes, that's what
I thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I don't know where you would get that from from
the trailer. Now, let me just say, yes, yes, I looked,
because I.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Don't know we watched the trailer. Actually, we watched the
trailer while we were waiting for the movie. So let's
watch the trailer for the movie. We went to go
see Sight Unseen, and yes, I remember we were sitting
in the theater.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
So and then I began to get nervous just going
back though, I forgot to say that. The reason why
I was so excited about you saying, hey, do you
want to go to the movies today?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That hasn't happened in a long time. I don't think
when the last time, I think a year ago, we
went to the movies. It's sad at that same time
movie theater. So I took you up on it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I didn't even question when you said i've heard it's good.
I've heard it's really good. I've been hearing it's really good.
I said, okay, I trust you, and we proceeded to
get in the car and go.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Josh Baron's a blue chip guy. He doesn't do a lot,
and so is Julia Gardner. Josh like decade, like two
decades of that ship film. I get it. And and
what I was seeing on social media. Ak, what I
was hearing, this is great. It's the movie of the summer.
It's a thriller, it's a kid's disappearing. Upah, you made
(09:33):
a reference. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You made a reference to Taken and another movie where
the dad has to find that is it Taking?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It was with Terrence Howard, Paul Dano and Wolverine. That movie.
I can't remember that, and that was like kids disappears,
like we're gonna find our kids. And then yes, I
can't remember that, and I know everybody's like, it's this,
I can't remember it. We don't fact check. I can
fact check. I'm not fact checking. And it's not important.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Moor.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Part is that we got very excited.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You literally stood up, we bathings were all and said
I'm gonna get ready. I said, I'm gonna ready too.
And you said, I'm really actually excited to.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Go out three fifteen start. We left the house two fifteen.
We got to the movie theater at half an hour
in advance. We got a large popcorn, both of us
got two things of candy a piece and giant, the
biggest fucking diet cokes you could get. Yeah, and we
sat in the theater and all my candy was gone
before the movie started. Y it sucks. And I had
(10:31):
mine in my bag. I didn't finish mine. You didn't
finish your bag, and you brought it home.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I've never done that. It was discussed just because I'd
never not finished candy.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, that's weird. And once you get milk duds and.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Milk duds in junior mins and I've never finished it,
And I was like, I'm not throwing these away. They
were a full and but I couldn't believe that you
didn't ask me for mine after you finish yours.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I would have asked you for yours, but I felt
shame that I finished my candy before the trailers even started,
and you.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Really didn't even dive into that popcorn.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
No, yeah, so have boxes of cad wrong? Then?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I mean, like we're not doing it right. It's been
a long time since we've done this thing that we
used to used to do it. You looked at me
and you said, Babe, do you have anxiety? Anxiety? Because
is it because we're I say it's because we don't
leave the house. Or you said maybe we need to
practice going out more.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And when we were buying the tickets, it was like,
there's two seats left, and we get to the theater
a half an hour early. We we literally sat down
twenty five minutes before the three fifteen start, and we
were the first people in there. And I gotta say,
I don't know if this is the new generation. I
gotta say, I don't know if this is younger people.
People were coming into the movie well after three fifteen
(11:46):
to like going to the movies. Okay, get it, you
don't have to be there twenty five minutes in advance
like us too, lunatic. I think things have.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Changed, babe, because we sat there and we watched probably
twenty minutes of like the fake commercial commercial commercial for
coke and regular TV commercials and little games, and we
played the games and whatever, and then it was what time.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You asked me what time it was.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It was three twenty five and the movie started playing
trailers and then hence the movie didn't start. We sat
there a whole forty five minutes before the movie started.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
That's thirty five minutes. Thirty five minutes. That's different. That sucks.
So I think other people know that because they frequent
the movies, and we did that right, and it was
a sign seating, no rush. We're the idiots sitting there.
I mean, candy exhausted. I didn't even want to see
the movie. It was dark. My eyes.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I realized, I think probably should be wearing glasses because
the darkness. Then I was thinking about our big TV
at home and a couch.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Listen I don't. I was thinking this is nice. I'm
thinking that that screen up there ain't much. It's bigger
than our screen. We were TV at home. It ain't
much bigger. I know, like, and we were kind of
it was small. But I'm looking at that screen. I'm like,
if I had a tame measure, I'm like, that's definitely bigger,
but it ain't much bigger. Nonetheless, in hindsight, Weapons of
(13:07):
the movie starring the great Josh Brolin and the up
and coming great Julia Garner. I think it was a
very very well done movie for what it was. I
weed it was a horror movie, babe. It was a
horror thriller. And the thing that I have a problem
with with horror thrillers is they don't give you the
(13:27):
rule book. And when I say rule book, I mean
I believe that one woman in the film she was
a witch, Yes, but she was a witch that seemed
to be turning people into zombies, which I have a
problem with, Like they don't say, oh, there's a witch,
or they don't say, oh, these are zombies, and then
I start thinking, are they vampires? I know a zombie
(13:49):
when I see one, Because zombies, based on what I
know and I'm not an expert, obviously, they're hard to kill.
You hit them with a fucking bat, so they keep going.
You throw them off a building, they keep going. There's
a certain thing you have to do, and I think
you got to put a spell on him, or like
throw apple juice on them, or there's like a mixture
(14:09):
of things to garlic, garlic to the vampires. You listen,
it's a silver bullet. I was, I don't know, what
isn't it? You gotta shoot him with a silver bullet.
Isn't that a vampire? I don't know what I'm saying. See,
I don't know, and I don't care. That's the problem. Problem,
that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
It's like what we are sitting there and it's first
of all the trailers getting through the trailers in the movie.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
What is going on? Can I talk to the people
of the world. Why is there so much darkness? Like?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Why what happened to the boy meets girl Sally? Yeah,
boy loses girl, boy gets the girl back.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
We have Ryan Gossen kissing in the ring.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Please the notebook give me something uplifting, because every trailer
was one demon darkness, hate boss? What is this?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
What's happening? I don't know where then is, or where
Sally is, or we need Ryan Gossen?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
No wonder why everybody is so desensitized what we're watching here?
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I don't so by the time the movie started and
I started great romantic comedy ever again, I don't know.
I don't think people would like it. I think they
like this kind of dying.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
These are the type of movies that make so much money,
the scary horror movies.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What was that Postman always ring, You've got mail, You've
got mad like where's Meg Ryan, Where's Timmy? Like where
are these actors? Like they have to make it was
too much. Bush's coming to dinner. Let's go way back.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Oh, it was horrible. I you know what I felt
when we walked it. First of all, you stood up
immediately when it was over. We grabbed our trash and
you looked wobbly on your your legs didn't seem secure.
And then I was kind of judging you, was like,
is he getting old? He can't find the steps that
they turned the lights on, but I started to feel
weak in.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
The knees, like I felt like there for four hours.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I know, but that and the darkness and readjusting to
the light.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I mean, I know a lout of movie theaters because
I don't want to fall. Oh is that way? I'm
not familiar with that movie theater, Like you know they
have like a sudden step. Yes, like, yes, I was
weak in these Yes I was a little stiffy, But
I'm very cautious in those dark movie theaters. Especially. We
were sitting there for like an after night.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I know, But I asked you what because the movie
gets is really gory. It's really intense gory. These children
are possessed, they're locked in a basement. They could eat people,
they eat a lady. It's just I'm yeah, spoiler alert
because I'm advising you probably not to see it. And
I asked you, wait, hold on, I asked you, are
you affected by this movie?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And you said no not. I laugh at these little
fucking Let me tell you something to me, babe, the
whole drive home, you said, fucking demon kids. If a
bunch of third graders want to fucking run up on
me like they ran up on that lady, knock yourself out,
I'm gonna be tossing these little bastards all over the place,
throwing them against walls, throw them into the street, throw
(16:58):
them under buses. If there's a bunch of zombie kids
who want to fucking try me, knock yourself out, I'm
not gonna go. I can't get that. I can't biting me.
You're not eating me alive, you're not doing any you're
not setting me on fire. I will fuck up an
entire class of third graders who have been who I
don't play that shit, Okay, babe, that's hilarious. I'm gonna
(17:20):
go anyway. I will say for people that the movie
is a very very well done, well acted, well directed.
It's a well put together story. I think, yes, yes,
and and you know, if you're into those continents, or
even if you you should know, we didn't know. We
didn't fact check, we didn't we didn't trailer check what
we were getting ourselves into. That being said, it is fun,
it is entertaining, and of course those actors and the
(17:42):
director are top rank pedigree people.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I enjoyed the date. I enjoyed spending time with you,
but all I could think of is the.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Valley before you go into the Do you want to
share what I did for you today?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Do you want to share with it with everybody what
I did for you today?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yes, you went out and you brought me back the
sweetest card.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
You want to read it to the people? Go ahead?
Do I want to read it? Oh?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Okay, I guess you want me to read it because
you're going to hand it to me. I gotta tell
you it's the most beautiful little card because it's a
piece of paper like art paper, shaped like a heart,
and in tiny things it says, I heart you.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It's wonderful beautiful paper. I got it from a bookstore.
There's a bookstore rand McNally, and it's like, it's so
unusual to go into a bookstore and it's in a
little hole in the wall. It's a big bookstore on
Prince Street in Manhattan, and I'm just fascinated that it
still exists. And I was thinking about you deeply, and
(18:54):
I said, I want to get Babe a book. Then
I was like, it's so hard to get and I
know you're not a photo book person. I was like,
I saw some photo books, but I was like, this
is probably something she's gonna know that I'm getting for myself.
Plus I'm not in the photo book collecting stage of
my life anymore. I'm trying to keep things to a minimum.
And then I asked the woman. I said, excuse me,
do you work here and see us? I said, I
would like to buy my wife a gift. And she
(19:15):
looked up because I was like, this is this is
like people are like, it shows you what's going on
in the world. Yeah. Yeah, she looked up. She's like,
oh on. I said, you know, actually it'd be too
hard to have you give me a novel. I don't
have time for that and although you have suggestions, and
first I wanted to get you like some sort of
you know, one of these books with quotes about love
(19:37):
or this, that and the third. And she gave me
a couple of suggestions. One was very helpful. And then
I obviously didn't buy that. And they had a beautiful
section this this bookstore on Print Street, they have a
beautiful section for cards. And I was like, let me
just get baby cards and I can use my words
and write you the CARDR word. Reread the letter.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Wow, it says, Babe, you've been on my mind all day,
not just thinking about you, feeling you.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Storio it. Wait stop, okay, period, Let me let me
read that. Let me let me read that. You want
you want to hear it in your own I want
I want to hear it. I want to. I want
to Babe, You've been on my mind all day, not
just thinking about you, feeling you. Period. Keep going.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I adore you every single wait, give it to me.
I adore you every single day. I don't have my
glasses on.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
I adore you every single day. I adore you and
every single part of you. I am lucky you are
my wife again. Period. And then and then and then
it says because you you are my calm and you
(20:55):
are my fire. I love you, Michael. And then you
could read the PS.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
That's when I got suspicious. It says ps chat GPT
did it right?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
This?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
For me?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I wanted to be clear that because I know, you
know what, for.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Some reason, I feel like that's not true. And I'll
tell you where you lost me. You are my calm
and my fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's just that's
just that I'm just not convinced that that's.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
One true or like I've never heard you say you're
my fire, you are my calm and my fire. I've
heard you say that's fire, babe. It was really sweet.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You listen, guys, Mike and I have been preoccupied with
a lot of stuff in life, and I asked.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Him, you know that he needs to pour a little
bit more loving to me. She's asking me very basic things, and.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
They're basic for most people. No, most men would probably
react the way. But when you said poor, that sounds
like a lot like a jug, right.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
You said to me, I would I need you to pour?
And I would. That's when, because like twenty minutes later,
I was like, wait a minute, when you say poor,
like I could do sprinkles, I could do like, you know,
like poor for a sip in there. But when you're
saying poor, I'm like, what does that mean? You're fucking gallon?
We're you talking about the big things like that, like
(22:16):
oh my gosh, listen, so how much how much love?
I don't know if I could do that? Listen, but
I mean you don't know. If you can do it,
you can poor, you can pour love into me. Listen.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
This year December, we're coming up on a lot of
years together. This is where the real work begins. You know.
I said to you, I think we're getting a little comfortable,
and you know, our intimate life is fine, but we're
just the regular mundane thing. That's why I like not
a phone guy, because he was more present. I think
we both need to be not take each other for granted.
(22:48):
We're best friends, were like the same person, and that
can get very dangerous in a relationships. I said, I
need you to pour. I couldn't figure out another way
to say, like.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
You know, no, that's a balid thing. I just thought
I was like poor, So so the wh when we
would you say that? Card? Now? I was going for
a joke here, like you know, I was. I was.
I wanted you know that. I was thinking. I was like,
let me, let me, let me just you know, be
funny but thoughtful is a card that's this doesn't feel
like poring?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Okay, all right, I'm not using the right word. I
was like, then when do I say, pay a fuck attention?
Just do something for me nice, like you have to
do that. You used to do it more all the time,
and and it hasn't been a long time. I just
I like to stay ahead of things.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
You're five hundred right. You are extremely in tune with
what you need. You're extremely in tune with love, You're
extremely in tune with relationships. You're you're extremely in tune
with feelings. And I am not arguing at all. And
that's why I wanted to get you that card and
(23:50):
write that original note from the bottom of my heart
and did not use chat GPT for only the rewrite
of it. Anyway. But wait, wait, one thing.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Remember when you came home from out a town, I said,
did you go in the bedroom? And I had changed
the picture TV screen to a little note to you
this is like pouring and meaning it's daily it's like
little things to I know you love me. You look,
I don't get it, but you gotta. You know, Listen,
I just walked down the street and a guy said
to me, nice outfit, lady. I was like, hey, you know,
(24:23):
we got to give each other, not that I donated
from the Amazon delivery guy. I see me and I
see you, and I think that we've been slipping a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
And so this card is a lovely, lovely. And that's
why we don't need to go see fucking weapons now.
I need Ryan Gossling, your ring and somebody else. Romance.
We need to see romance shit for real. Yes, you
(24:53):
mentioned The Valley?
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Yes, oh boy? How good is that show? Can you
believe at one point that we were going to turn
our backs on that show?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah? Hi, dare we? How dare we? They earned it?
The Valley Reunion three parts is not fun. It ain't lighthearted. No,
it's not a romantic comedy by any means. No, there's
nothing even They don't even try to make it fun
or light.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
But it is very very very good, excellent killing it. Yeah,
and for a three part reunion for a show in
its second season, it is compelling. It is dramatic. It's
real Christian dody again.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I mean, how does she come out pregnant and the
voice of reason. We've seen her go through so much
and now we're seeing there. I mean, she's tearing up
on Jack's confessing that he's, you know, got all these
struggles which she knew.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
It's been a great, great reunion. Excellent, I mean really, really,
really good reunion. And if you haven't gotten into The Valley,
I strongly suggest, because it's only two seasons, get in now.
I will tell you again this is not a show
for the faint of heart. No, this is not all
about the glitz and glamour and the hootsies and the tootsies.
(26:13):
This is about relationships and they are not functional. Aka,
they are dysfunctional. Another thing we started, which is our yearly.
What were you gonna say, babe?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Oh no, I was just gonna say, speaking of the Valley,
And what makes it so good is I think that
some of these characters, these people that we don't know
so well, and they're sharing their real life. It almost
could be like a Paul Thomas Anderson novily like that.
What's happening with the character of the Valley being an
additional element the valley itself being a character is what
(26:49):
I meant to say. But I just think this show
has legs that are going to run. I mean, it's
gonna get better and better.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I think I totally agree. But like we said, and
I don't want to get into the debate next season,
they said Jackson, apparently they're shooting now. Oh okay, allegedly
apparently they're shooting now. They're getting ready to shoot, and
Jackson is not going to be a part of season
three as of now. They might start shooting season three
and be like, we need him. He's a big part
(27:17):
of the show. Yeah, he is him, and Brittany is
a big part. And you want to see them this
way when people go he's a dick, you want to
see them figure something out. Yes, for the betterment of
themselves and their kid. That's what I mean when I go, like,
you're rooting for them, I know, but he's hard to
root for him because he's such a fucking dysfunctional character.
(27:37):
He may not have it, he may not, but you
want it, We want it.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
But if they put him on and he doesn't have
it and the behavior, it gets too toxic and too dark.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Like, right now, we're on the edge. We're in real
life stuff here. I mean, and if you take it.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Too far and he can't make these improvements, I mean,
I just read on Reality Tea that he's not contributing
to the mortgage or paying for expenses allegedly, So like,
if that's happening.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Now, and I don't believe any I gotta be honest.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Babe, we don't believe anything, right, because I'm.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Gonna pivot into this Howard Stern Show. Howard Stern Show
being canceled is so ridiculous. If you weren't really paying attention,
you're like, oh, the Howard Stern Show's canceled and he's
never coming back. First of all, Howard Stern Show always
goes on break during the summer. Yes, the fact that
mainstream news outlets gossip sites are literally saying the Howard
(28:33):
Stern Show and Howard Stern is canceled, it's done is
crazy to me because I'm a serious sexim subscriber. We
know who I am. I mess around with the Howard
Stern Show people. I'm in the Howard Stern Show Fantasy
football league. Even if Howard Stern was never coming back,
his contract isn't up until January. But if you're not
paying attention, you're like, he's done. They canceled his show.
(28:54):
They canceled him because of this, that and the third.
And it's insane. I mean, there's no bad publicity year.
I feel like we go through.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Is Howard retiring and this deal, that deal?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Is he going to come back? He does it, He
does it. He hymns and hauls on the show about
coming back. So I get it. I know it's not.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
But also there's something that's in the press right now
that he can't stand the Alex Cooper Howard can't stand
or he doesn't understand these young people like this. Everything
we read is I'm just saying reality tea that has
reality show news kind of thing. It was taken from
an interview with her. She basically said maybe she said it.
I'll watch what happens to listen.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Allegedly, but I'm just saying we can see in the reunion, babe,
that he's o contrarian. I mean everything, he's sober, but
not from this, sober from that, but not from that.
You know, this is a guy who has a long
road ahead of him and he may not need to
be on television to do it. I think it's we're
entertained by it. But that poor girl, her tears, Yes,
(29:55):
this is why it's so good because it shows such
realness and we know her from vander put so her tears,
that's pain that she has is deep. Yes, And I
think if he was worthy of a comeback where they
could show an arc in their relationship somehow co parenting,
consciously or whatever, I think they would bring it.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
You don't want to see it get any worse. No, no, no, no,
you don't want to see it get any worse, and
you don't want to put it out there on TV
while it's getting worse. Right that being said, it's great
television which brings us to another reality. One of the
first reality TV shows. I think it's a twenty fifth
of twenty sixth season of HBO's Hard Knocks, which we
(30:34):
watch every single year. We love it. I seriously think
that it is softcore porn For you, babe, I feel
like you're watching soft core porn. Although the kids are
now they're really young and it's like now you're you're
a weirdo. But for me, I enjoy it because it
gets me ready for football season. You learn about the players.
For you, I think it's like soft you know what.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I wouldn't call it porn, but it makes me giggle
and twinkle a little, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yes, it's slow motion and the athletic. No, some of
them are older than that's old enough, but it's it's
a good show. It's my favorite show.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
You know. Also, we're coming towards the end of summer.
You guys know that I'm not a heat person. It's
heat is not my favorite. And when that show comes
on and that NFL music, I start to hear that looming, right,
I know that the fall is approaching, football season approaching.
It's at chili Weather. Yes, I get excited about that
(31:34):
time of year.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Well, it's really good at they're following the Buffalo Bills
and Josh Allen, Jumbo Josh Allen who's married to the
actress Harley steininfl Steinfeld Steinfeld Steinfeld, who was just in
the another vampire movie of Sinners and a bunch of
other stuff. She's a kick ass young actress also, and
then it has this other player, Dion Dawkins. And it's
a great season and it's always fun and it's totally
(31:58):
a reality TV show, really one of the first. It's
been around for years and it really leave Schreiber's the
voiceover guy. Still. Yeah, it's a great show and it's
always entertaining. It's fun. And if the ladies, if you
could care less about football, oh you'll care, they'll care
tune in ladies anyway. So that's our recommendations. We give
(32:21):
two thumbs up, but be prepared for vampires, blood gore,
zombies for weapons. Two humongous thumbs up for The Valley
season one, season two, and of course the three part
reunion and HBO Hard Knocks and Kibi's what is it
French tip? French tip? Manicure? Yeah, French yeah, tip manicures.
(32:43):
Do you want to give a shout out to your manicure?
What's your name?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
She's new, so I don't I don't know her name.
This is only my second time get the cur Yeah.
I didn't want to get too excited.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I got it anyway. Make sure you're tell a friend
who're telling a friend about Rappa Ports Reality, and make
sure you follow on Instagram at rapper Ports Reality. And
even though I did have chat, GPT helped me out
with my little note. I mean every single word of that,
even though that wasn't my exact wording. Love you babe,
I love you babe.
