Speaker 1 (00:01):
You said to me, they better get together. They better
because I cried. I cried the last I cried. I
literally cried. I shed real tears. I was very emotional.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
You literally fucking cried like you were watching the Notebook
like it was Ryan gutterly and it was not.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
And I was cry adjacent. I'm gonna be honest, I
was you. You're adjacent.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
I felt your emotions. You're vibrating through your book. I
felt it. I felt I looked.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Over and you're a little red face and we're talking
about in the finale, you were both really like, this
is a great show.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
The friendships and the love and the loyalty between them,
And still I feel that way that after the reading,
the first thing I said is like, hey, regardless of
what happened, these people are friends. And the way they
went after Andrea, those girls, and you were like, oh,
come on the bully, I said, no, I love it.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You know why ppg g gp ppg PGG, which I
don't know what that stands for either.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't remember hock to ya. Do you believe Eve?
Is that what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
We're doing that and you did a hot remix since
we haven't found the exact quite perfect opening, the opening sound,
the opening.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Sound like I didn't even do it. I don't I
don't even have.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
It right, spit on that thing.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
That thing.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, here we are Rapaports Reality.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I'm Keebi Rappaport.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I am Michael Rappaport. We are in New York City.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
If you hear a siren in the background, it is
probably whisking away the cast of Love Island. We just
watched the finale, the grand finale to a star making
breakout season of Love Island. I mean a lot to

(02:00):
discuss with that, to unpack here, A lot of anticipation.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I mean a lot. We look forward to that for
about three days straight. We had like we were anxious
about it.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Were watching the clock.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, we scheduled coming back into the city to our apartment.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Sled the whole day around around.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It so that no we were worried about traffic to
get here, so that we were laying down in the
right position in the bed, comfortable with the right amount
of snacks. And then it came.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Love Island came, and it came on the It started
the same night as the Democratic National Convention, which we
don't discuss politics on rapaports reality. We only discuss our
relationship more importantly reality TV and more importantly than that
popular culture. But we made an executive decision. As much

(02:54):
as we're curious about the Democratic National Convention, which is
a reality.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Show in itself, I mean reality TV.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Wow, this is like a veep on steroids.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Fantastic.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Okay, that's enough said, because if you start me off.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
We we don't go down that road. We don't go
that road. But we were pumped, we were excited. Uh,
we did plan.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
We did schedule to watch the grand finale reunion, the reunion,
not the finale, the reunion, which seems about a few
weeks after.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I think three weeks, three weeks after.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
The show ended of Love Island, which was hosted by,
of course, Ariana Madics.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I would say, the great, great Ariana.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
You would say, the great Ariana.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh yes, I am into her.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
The Great Ariana Maddox. Yeah, she's great.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Legend?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
She's a legend. She's giving she this is the perfect
job for her. She is like Queen Mom up there
with these young kids. I loved her questions. I left
her little side eye. I liked she knows what up
I really really love her, and she's looking fantastic. She's
looking fantastic and car, I can't wait to get to

(04:07):
that show and see it.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Are you going to go see her in Chicago?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I haven't. I've seen Chicago several times, but I'm we're
gonna go. Tammy and I were going to go see
it again because we had tickets and then we had
to cancel. And now that she's back, I think we're
going to go see it.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
How long is she doing it again for?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Do you know she started up? Now? I think until
through October.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Oh, you better go see.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I know I have to have to get there.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Is it like a plug and play thing?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
That part?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yes, roxy is that? I saw Eric and Jane do it.
I saw Lisa Renna do it. I see you really? Yeah,
I saw a long time ago. But yeah, Erica Jane
I saw.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
And now you're gonna go see Ariana mouse?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Yeah? And I hear she kills it.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, I'm sure at this point. I'm sure at this point,
I mean the crowd they go to see her doing it,
it's like an easy crowd.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
But we're not talking about Chicago.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
We're not talking about anything else, right this moment except
for Love Island.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
What do you feel afterwards, babe? How do you feel
the anticipation?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well, I'll say this, I thought the reunion was a
little bit of a downer. I expected it to be
like the great episodes of the season of Love Island,
because when it was hitting, it was hitting. But once

(05:32):
the show started, once the reunion started, and the set
and the amount of people and the distance that they
were sitting, which I'm sure I had something to do
with cameras. I'm sure it had something to do with
stacking them and cameras, because the whole cast was out
there from the whole season, and I feel like time,
I feel like they should have done the whole cast
and then.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Brought the other people out just like.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
The stars of it.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I felt like it was a It wasn't a great
Some of the great moments on Bravo of Real Housewives
shows comes from the reunions, and I don't nothing resonated
as a great moment from the reunion.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yes there were some laughs, Yes there were some moments.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes there were some slight reveals, But as far as interaction,
I think some of that had to do with how
far everybody was sitting from each other because from one
end to the other end they're far away. And then
even the couples, I know that they don't want to reveal,
like you know, who's a couple right off the top.
But some of the couples, like you know, they're sitting
like half an arms distance. And I think that does

(06:40):
something to it. And I just think that without the editing,
without the bathing suits, without the thongs, with their clothes on.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, without the anticipation of bedtime, it wasn't great. It
wasn't great. I said, want, want afterwards, because it could
have been the full disclosure here. It could have been
the pine of ice cream that we eight an hour
and a half before.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Do you want to explain it wasn't ice cream.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Tolentilado gelatto.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Okay, it's not ice cream.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's a little less sugar.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, okay, it's a little less sugar. If nobody knows
what TALENTI is. If somebody doesn't know, I don't know
how you wouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
What Talenti is.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Tlenty is a gelato that they sell me in the
supermarket and it's fucking great.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah, it is fucking so.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's smooth, it's sweet. Usually doesn't make you feel bad
after even after eating a whole pint.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
It did make me feel bad, Yes it does. It
didn't make me feel anything.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
I set to you after my pint of gelato tolenty.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
I think it was chocolate.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
I only got one, especially I get three flavors and
then we but you know what, you know what I did.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
By the way, I had our own pints of gelata.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I get it. But I wanted to point something out.
Did you notice the pints are smaller, so I don't
even know they don't called pint. I don't know. The
actual thing is smaller and it's filled to the top.
The actual contained drug the jug is smaller. Maybe it's
still a pint, but it's filled all the way to
the top. I guess they're saving money on the packaging.
But it's really compact, so very easy to hold.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
I didn't know what.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
You're sing the whole thing?

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Eight years? Very very fast?

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Because it was melted and it's good.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
It's and next to LENTI just like how Cordell Beckham
has stated, and dreams do come true. He wanted to
be a spokesperson for Cheese It. Now he has a
cheese It sponsorship.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
That was the big, big giveaway.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
I would love to be a spokesperson for Tolenty, not
that they need a weastic sponsors.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
We don't have a scale in Connecticut, but we got
on the scale here in the city.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
I'm at the same overweight that I was.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yees, so like, we gotta we gotta cut the ship
on the ice C. Did you like your TALENTI I
fucking loved it. He's got to stop though. I mean so,
what I'm saying is that I don't really I can't
make an accurate assessment of how I felt about the
reunion because I think I was pissed. You know how
when you go see a movie and everybody's hyped it
up and you go with preconceived notions of what it's about.

(09:10):
I was angry by the time nine o'clock came cross.
My stomach was full.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Mine wasn't because you only had one pint. Mine wasn't.
TALENTI does not make me feel bad. Well, I got
to tell you.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Tlenty makes your fart smell bad, because all night long
it was hell in that room because of the tialente.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
And that's just facts.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
So you're saying that, the fact that you had your
own pint of telenttary, the whole.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Thing you halfway through you said, babe, you don't want
to finish all that. And I said, yes, I do,
and you said, no, you don't, And you were right.
I didn't need it. My body didn't need it, but
my mind was telling me. My body was. My body
was telling me no, but my mind was telling me, yes,
what song is that?

Speaker 2 (09:56):
That's a R Kelly he cut that.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, anyway, So I think that I felt similar about
the seating arrangements on the reunion. In fact, they were
because it did kind of give away, like except for
Jana and Kenny. Yes, they were sitting close in lovey dovey.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
But they were still distant.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
They were like distant, and it was it was very
quick the reunion. I don't feel like it was that.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't know, it just it wasn't that good. It
didn't It just didn't have a pizzazz to it. Cordell
barely spoke, I know, Cordellian Serena. They barely discussed their relationship.
You know, the Kendle and the Cole stuff.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
It took up a lot of time.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
And it's not about time. It's peacock. I mean the fans.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Would they Yeah, they could have kept going.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
It could have been a two part thing, but I
just feel like it wasn't that good and it kind
of left a sort of taste in my mouth.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
And then we focused a lot on the Andrea thing.
They took up about five minutes showing that scene unedited
scene of the girls sociding on who's gonna leave, and
Leah was blamed that Andrea, that she was the one
behind Andrea Andrea.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Andre and because there was all the bellied there was
the conversations about her talking shit. Let me just say something,
when you watched that five minute unedited scene, I don't
know if you're not a filmmaker or an editor or
have ever tried to edit anything, people really don't understand
and appreciate how good the storytelling and the editors are on.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Reality TV shows.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
I've never seen an unedited five minute scene shot on
six cameras. They showed that, But what we saw in
the original version was like a minute.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, it was a highlight of the reunion, by the way,
that whole clip there, and it.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Wasn't even that good because you couldn't really tell it
matter because it was.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
It gave a lot of insight into the whole drama
of Leah being accused of, you know, taking a back seat.
It was too long. I mean, the conversation was so long.
Nobody everybody has had equal footing in that whole conversation.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
That shit on the Criterion collection like that was like
five minutes of our sort of you know, anticipated reunion.
The bottom line is is the season's great. I'm not
going to move off that. I'm not going to move
off how good the cash was. But when they're in
their bathing suits, when they're running around, when the scenes
are quick cut, that.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Makes a big difference. Because after the reunion, I literally
said to you, I think we wasted thirty six hours
of our life. I did not feel the same way
about the show after the reunion. For one, I was like,
has it aside from Serena and Cordell and maybe Kenny
and Janay. Although I think she may grow out of him,
she's older, she's this girl is very That's Katy's favorite couple,

(12:51):
I know, and I think she wants love and I'm
not sure that he's equipped. I Mean, she's very cool,
very bright, very worldly, she may get bored of Kenny.
I think you wanted to leave with someone. This is
just my anti opinion, call me anti kibi, because I'm like,
I'm not sure this is what I'm today. Let's give
it another couple of months and see what happens between them.

(13:12):
But Serena and Cordell I believe that relationship. Everybody else obviously.
Now you said to me they better get together. They
better because I cried. I cried the last episode. I

(13:35):
literally cried, I shed real tears. I was very emotional.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
You literally fucking cried like you were watching the Notebook
like it was Ryan and it was not.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
And I was cry adjacent. I'm gonna be honest, I
was you. You're adjacent.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
I felt your emotions. You're vibrating through your book. I
felt it. I felt I looked over and you're a
little red face.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
And we're talking about in the finale, you were both
really like, this is a great show.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
The friendships and the love and the loyalty between them,
And still I feel that way. After the reading, the
first thing I said is like, hey, regardless of what happened,
these people are friends. And the way they went after Andrea,
those girls and you were like, oh, come on, they're bully.
I said, no, I love it. You know why cup g.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
PPG PBG, which I don't know what that stands for,
don't either, I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
But these girls are down for each other. It's nice
to see girls stick by each other and stay friends
and be loyal. That's how I ride, so I appreciated it.
She came in late, the Bombshells came in late, and
they had their own little sections together, and I feel
like they were all as open as they could be.
But I didn't mind them letting her know, like, hey,
that wasn't cool to leave here and go on TikTok
and make a bunch of videos talking mess. And I

(14:45):
gotta tell you, Leah is a star.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
We'll see. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
I don't know what she's gonna do with her life.
I'm not saying that, but she carried this whole thing. Really,
she really did. I mean she really with her she's
so honest and she's irreverent. Has had obviously no media training,
which right now works let's see later on it will not.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
But she had sex allegedly with Kanye West.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Allegedly with Kanye was in the actual movie theater that
we saw on.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
In her movie theater, her home movie theater.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
How did I see that movie theater? Was on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
We can't get away from you.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I know on TikTok she was with her sister in
the media room stalking up the snacks.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
She didn't say, by the way, because I don't want
any problems. She didn't say Kanye that was on it.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
She said it.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
I'm going to say again.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Allegedly, Allegedly, it's been.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Reported a discussed gossip that she may have had sex
with Kanye wes Keebi Rapport nor Michael Rapport are accusing
her of having sex with Kin.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
We got that from We're repeating what we heard on
a podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
We were repeating what we heard on another podcast. Now
this we are not reporting that.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, cannot report that, but I will say when.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
I did a sick fuck.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, Well, if that's the case remotely, because she just
turned twenty five and I'm trying to figure out doing
the math and when that could have happened, So let's
skip over. That's great.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
If you look remotely like Kim Kardashian, watch.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Out, watch out for Kanye West, that he wants you.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
He wants you, and if you're in Calabasas, look like Kim,
He's coming for you.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, you are Kim adjacent in Calabassas. You are, You're
getting it. But I will say the reason why. I
know that, she said on the TikTok with her sister.
As they're filling the snacks to their popcorn machine. She
said quickly she showed the chairs as she said, famous
rappers may not have spent the night in this theater.
That was what I first saw, and then subsequently we

(16:38):
heard that news.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I want to say that when Kaylor is in crying, cursing, screaming,
she's not as interesting. I like that she put up
boundaries and she finally was like done with Aaron, who definitely.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Was the loser of the night. He was the loser
of the reunion. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
But Kayler, when she's not going nuts, not as fun,
not as fun. I was surprised to see it was
more mature, more in control of result.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
She I think she's grown up a lot. She said it,
she's changed, that whole thing changed her.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, when you're twenty two years old, three weeks ago,
it could change, right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
That's what happens you grow in three weeks because you're
a twenty two year old.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
I mean, imagine these kids, though, babe, what's happening to them?
They are coming out to screaming fans like they're the Beatles.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Coming out like they're in sync, or the back She
Wore the Spice Girl.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Fame has just hit them in the back of the heads.
I don't know what. How do you think that they
are going to fare? Having been in twenty one years
old and became famous yourself quickly, I was there. I
saw it. It's different. We didn't have internet. We would
get on the train, we'd notice people recognize you, and
we had a little term we called them rekis and
we'd whisper and like, oh my gosh, I think that
person recognizes you. And it was fine. It was like

(17:49):
a slowish burn in a way.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
There wasn't this kind of and these.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
People are like, they come out of the villa, they
get their phones. They realized Leah went from twelve thousand
follows to three million followers on Instagram. What do you
think happens with that?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I think it can make you nuts. I think it's dangerous.
I think that they should all be in therapy. I
think the only one who seems totally adjusted. And it
probably has a lot to do with the fact that
his brother is so famous as Cordel, I think that
you're playing with fire. I think it could be a
super duper high and a super duper low. I think

(18:28):
it could be confusing. I think it could be misleading.
And I think that what's the snake catcher's name, Robert
rob Rob. I like the way he's playing that, like
this is all crazy. He always looks like that.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Though, you know what he like crocodile dundee kind of thing.
He has a thing that he does like he could
be I try to show you all his videos. He's
passionate about that, and he's wild about it, and he's
been in Bali and Malaysia and he's all over the
world catching snakes and dangerous snakes. He's nuts, right, He
actually has some kind of future being famous. He's actually

(19:04):
kind of funny when he does it. He's got this witty,
dry sense of humor. Yes, there's something there with that kid,
So he has something to actually become famous. Like if
I was, you know, an agent or manager, I'd be
looking at him to see like, Hey, does he want
to do like an Animal Planet show? Does he like?
There's some things there if you don't have a skill.
I know Serena is an actor, Cordell's an act There's

(19:24):
people have skills actress. I think she posted something about
doing a short film before this happened. I could see
her having some success acting. You know, you got to
have something behind this fame for no reason thing. Only
a few people have been able to parlay it into
billions of dollars. And we know that family, my favorite family,
the Kardashians, has been able to do it. But I

(19:45):
you know, it's a rare thing, Like it's fame is
really scary and elusive and it cannot last.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
And this could be it, and this this kind of
fameous instant. You know, although it's specific, it's specific to.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Everybody listening to this podcast, the legions of people into
this podcast and the fans of Love Island. Some people
in the world would not have a fucking clue if
they all walk down the street.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
It is very specific, but.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
A lot of people watch this show, people watch.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
That show, and a lot of people on their age demographic.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yes, they know who they are. Let me ask you this.
Out of all the people we saw on the reunion,
who do you think is going to come back for
Love Island next season?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Robert he's coming back.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
I don't think he's coming back. I think he's think
he can do it again. There'll be three times for him.
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
I think they're going to bring him back.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I don't think they wants to catch this snake, and
I think that they're going to bring him back. I mean,
we'll see some of those people are coming back because
they're going to be so beloved. Whether it's Miguel Uh,
it depends on how their relationships are are not, but
there's I think there'll be more people from this cast
returning than what I know about people from prior cast returning,

(20:54):
Like speaking of there being too many people out there
and only it being one part.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Like Thor didn't even talk Thorn literally, he didn't speak yeah,
and the black dude with the braids didn't.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Speak right, and they didn't acknowledge the tall black dude
with the beard who apologized.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
To Yeah, that was edited out.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I think, Yeah, I'm sure things write it out, But
what I'm saying is there's an appetite and a desire
for more than yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, So I feel like that's why I was disappointing.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
I feel like they should have done a big group
and then done smaller groups and then they're like, you know,
face to face sit downs.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
I think the girl who Cordell didn't pick could come
back as a bombshell or as a regular. Yes, she's great,
she's great. Yeah, and Sierra, she's not hooked up with.
Some of these are beautiful girls. They got some personality.
They should come back.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
So uh, I would have to say five out of five.
I give it a three. I give the Union a three,
and that's being generous. I would give it a two
and a half because we were pumped.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
I mean pump I was. I was.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
My sugar went up and then down. So I was a.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Little It wasn't the sugar, it was the show.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
It was a show. Okay.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
The other day we were out and about with our
friend Julie. She was driving us around in her topless.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Bronco nineteen seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
That's a real pussymobile.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I mean I call it a dick magnet.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
The dick magnet, or the pussymobile.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I like Alan's driving in, but when Julie's driving in,
it's a dick. I mean it's cool, it's very cool.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
It's cool for me.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Although it stalled out a couple of times in concern,
that's some of the charm.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yeah, yeah, you think of that car. Yeah, And I.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Think the fact that it was a very cool summer night,
the beautiful, how hot it's been with the top down,
with its stalling out, with the impromptueness of it, and
the fact that I manipulated and maneuvered her to take
us to.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Up Stream Shot by our house in Connecticut, which we
don't need.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
No, we don't need it.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
We don't need it, we don't need the ice cream,
we don't need the Telenti. But I will say I'm
still proud of the fact that no one knew what
was going on, no one knew how we got there,
but I got us to the ice cream place. You know,
it's a theme. I'm realizing it's a theme like us
eating us feeling shame about it is a part of

(23:26):
this podcast. It's just so much as discussed as we
discuss Bravo is what we ate, what we shouldn't have
ate nine we should.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Be rapoports Reality the things we shouldn't eat, not a man,
I should we should change the name.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
But since it is rapaports reality and I was thinking
about the episodes of the show so far, we are
in the golden era, truly, the golden era of all
things reality TV. Whether it's murder docs, which we watched

(24:02):
the Lacy Peterson Scott Peterson three part Netflix documentary.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
You mostly watched it. I sort of had it in
the background. But because I'm concerned with you in these
murder doc these men that kill their wives docs, you
seem to watch a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
What do you mean? What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (24:21):
What do I mean?

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Do you think I'm I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's very bizarre how you'll start. I mean, I'll ask
you to watch one of the shows that we really
enjoy together, and you'll say, hold on, I got to
finish this show. And I'll turn and it's usually some
murder doc and chill, but it's based on some man
who's killed his wife.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Well, then that's just Sometimes it's the man who's killed
his wife.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Sometimes it's the wife who's killed his Husban's.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Like this subject of people couples taking each each other out.
I particularly don't love that subject, Like it's just to
me watching someone snap and come undone slowly in a
three part series, especially when I know what I lived
through Lazy Peterson. I remember Scott. It was obvious that
he did it when he did it, and.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
You did it, Scott, Yeah he did it.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
So like, I don't know why there had to be
a documentary about it. Did you discover anything new?

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Well, no, I don't.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I discovered more new things just because you know, in
a documentary they break things down into three parts, so
it's three hours. I didn't know the details of the
case and the specifics of the case, and it was
so long ago that you forget how much of a
cultural phenomenon, popular culture case this became. So I can't

(25:36):
say whether I knew or what I didn't know. The
thing that trips me out is how somebody, when you're
all but caught, they still say I didn't do it,
and then his sister to this day, to this day,
is still standing behind him, which I get it, it's
your brother.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't get it. Come on, he didn't get it.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
You did it, guy, Yeah, you fucking did it.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
There's no It's like when OJ was like, oh, the
killers are still out there.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
No they're not. Yeah, No, the killer's talking and saying
that the killers are still out there.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
And Scott Peterson probably will discuss on the next podcast,
is just doing his first interview from prison, and it's like,
unless you're gonna just say I did it and try
to live your life at peace, you know, admitting this
and take the rest of your family and your friends
and her family out of the turmoil, stop the bullshit.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I don't think you can stop when you're that kind
of sociopath, I guess.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
And when the thing that's also crazy is he's just
such a plain Jane, you know, regular Joe Schmoe dad
guy that decides it's.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Always that though, it's every show is that guy, Like,
that's why I'm not interested in these shows, because it's
the same thing over and over again. It's that plain
Joe guy that's always the so liked in the neighborhood
and nothing was wrong with him.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's really down shirt but he yeah, right, button down
shirt over a T shirt.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
It's like sitcom Dad gone wrong, right, It's wild.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
So I just fascinated that these things happen in playing
sight and they have a dog and there's neighbors and
all this stuff, and then I was so into it.
We rewatched Gone Girl, which we saw in the theaters
with Ben Affleck. Yes, by the way, ben Affleck in
Gone Girl looks like those real time photos of Ben

(27:33):
Affleck when he's walking with j.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Lo right or what yeah used to be because it
looks like it's really over.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But you know those like funny memes where he's like, well,
that's the character that he was playing.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
J Gone Girl.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
If you have never seen Gone Girl, or you watch
Gongirl if you want a good rewatch, it is really
well done.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
It's great. It's based on a book by I believe
Gillian Flynn what's her name? Really great book. You think
that she may have gotten these some the ideas for sure,
I'm not sure because I think Cat wrote that. Yeah, well,
the cat being stray and equivalent to him letting the
dog loose with the Leashaana like it's is also obvious
to me, like sure she went out for a while.

(28:14):
We watched another one recently, like that of the woman
who messes the mailbox.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
And yes, there's a lot of this, a lot of these.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
There's a lot of cooks out there. There's a lot,
and they're all next door, by the way, they are
next door, the cook next door.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
And I'm wondering for these whack jobs, you know, is
it harder now with cell phones and with face recognition
and with security cameras and surveillance cameras, is it harder
for these kooks to sort of do what they want
to do?

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Hopefully it is.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
It's got to be some sort of deterrence because even
if you study these things and you watch them, not
that I am not, that's not what I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
I'm just it's simple. You know.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
If I don't explained why why you just.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Watching character studies? Characters studies? Is that any research for
any personal Well, let.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Me tell you something. If you try to take me out,
motherfuckers ain't gonna believe. They're gonna come right to you.
And everybody I know that loves me, they're coming right
to you, and they're gonna believe that you did it.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
So watch it or I have no plans or aspirations
for any of that.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
But that was good watching. Uh, that was good TV.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
But what I wanted to say is that between Love
Island this season, between the Real Housewives of Dubai, which
which is somebody DM me and said, why don't you
talk about it because it's too it's we haven't talked
about it.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
I don't. There's no reason.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
We love, we haven't had time, we haven't put it.
Made an effort to talk about it because it's one
of my favorites. I love that show, and the last
couple episodes have been fantastic, and.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
It really is what The Real Housewives wanted to be
initially total. The drama is intoxic, not no, the outfits
are way over the top.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
The background setting a Dubai being a like a you know,
fifth sixth characters amazing. Uh, just the casting is excellent.
It's just excellent. And I love that show, so maybe
we should talk about that more. But we also the OC.
We are not talking about what's happening over there, which
is seeming like a dumpster fire. The OC is Craig Craig.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
That's another one that still hasn't gone too dark. It's dark,
but it hasn't gone too dark, and they've been able.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
To when it's gotten dark, they've removed some people and
moved it around right in the nick of time.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I believe, Yes, they didn't let things get out of
hand like they did with Jersey and New York. But
to acknowledge the people that have asked, yes, we're watching Dubai,
Yes we love Dubai. Yes we're watching Orange County, Yes
we love Orange County.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
And overall right now.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Between the shows I just mentioned, Between the Love Island,
between the Love Undercover, which again highly recommend.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Fuck that was a good show.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, Between the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders on Netflix, which if
you're in the football football season is looming, you want
to get yourself focused, you want to get some Mamba mentality,
you want to see some hope, dreams, aspiration.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Watch that's on you, though, But let me say something
to the ladies listening. Even if you don't like football,
the Hard Knocks, this is starting and it's going to
go through the whole season. I highly recommend it. It
actually can influence you and encourage you and inspire you
to watch football this season. If you start to get
familiar with some of the guys that play. It's so fun.
It's really great. It's like the Agony defeat, the victory,

(31:34):
thirty three victory. It's really really great. Highly recommended. Take
your husband by the hand, grab some snacks and watch
Hard Knocks.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yes, Hard Knocks on Max. But we are in the
golden era of reality TV because there's so much across
the board and we're not even mentioning the ninety days
and all the TLC and the six hundred pound Life
and the thousand Pounds Sister in the nineties before after,
in the ninety days before. But since you're saying that.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
You feel like har Knacks has inspired you and made
you more interested in football. I noticed the other day,
and I granted it was preseason. When I did turn
on the Dallas Cowboy preseason game, you said, why are
we watching this? I just you did say I did.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Why, No, that you're wrong, That's not what I said. No,
I did not. It was it was girls basketball, and
I thought it was college because I said, is that
Caitlin Clark? She's playing for Connecticut, Indiana or Indiana? And
I thought you also said it about the football. I
remember saying about football. Listen, why are we watching preseason football?

(32:41):
We have too much other work to do in terms
of reality shows. We'll get to football. What's next Week's
like three weeks, two and a half weeks. Yeah, it's
coming up three. We start then with football. I know
you have your fantasy coming up, which is literally my
favorite time of year. Not you can't stand I can't
stand it. I cannot stand your fan fantasy. I feel
like it's over the top obsessive. I mean, imagine if

(33:04):
I was like in here, like on a computer, like
you know, fantasy shopping with a group of people, and
it was like you had to hear. But I know
what you say. You're gonna say, I fantasy shop anyway, babe.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
You fantasy shop anyway, and I put listen, my arm's
not twisted.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
I watch dog shit with you.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I mean, and you love it too. I'm not talking
about I'm just saying the fantasy thing is over the top.
You take yourself way too seriously. It's like you're turning red,
You're throwing things, You're pounding on pillows. It's just a
it's a long time to be in that high level
of anxiety and stress.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
I'm going to compartmentalize it this year.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I am going to make the Sunday This Sunday, I'm
not gonna let it drive me nuts the whole day.
I'm gonna I'm gonna try to compartmentalize you because it's
your life.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I'm just saying, I don't like to watch it. It's
very It looks like suffering. It does not look fun,
even though you guys think it's fun. It looks like hell.
And you know, when you're playing for money, then that's
a whole other thing of losing money and not that
you ever really play. A couple of times you played
for money and I liked it because she won, because
I won.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Yeah, but last season I didn't win, didn't win last thing.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
And I think you got across the board in all
your fantasy leagues and that was that was just I
really thought maybe this year you would.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
Fantasy fantasy football is not going anywhere, just like reality
TV is not going anywhere.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Okay, well you just remember one thing, my friend. There
are no tears in fantasy football. I don't want any crying.
I don't any whining stomping around afterwards. Take the beating
where you take the beating.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Okay, okay, all right. Anyway, it's been a great, great
week for reality TV. It's been a great week marriage
to you, babe.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
No, that's so nice. You know what also, I want
to sell you. Yeah, it is nice in being married
to you, because the other day I literally just it
just came out of my throat, like you're the most
amazing husband, and I meant it sincerely. And then you
asked me to name the reasons why, which I don't
think you should do. And I when I have a
moment of like telling you how I really feel, I
don't feel like I have to make a list. Just fantastic.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
The only reason why I did this because we were
in traffic and I thought about how nice it was
and I just wanted to, like, you know, put some
sprinkles on.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Top to throw it back to the ice cream. Anyway,
