Speaker 1 (00:02):
Apparently bring Wit from the Real Housewives of New York
apparently has gotten herself some sort of publicists because an
article came out and seemed like it was everything was
hunky dory.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, I was more gone girl for me. It wasn't
like I was like, this is your doubling down. Doubling
down with a publicist. Yes, well, she's in marketing, so
she would know how to spend this whole thing around.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I don't think there's any spinning brind Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
No, we're all smarter than that. But she did it,
you know what I mean. She was bold enough to
go out there and it was the article in uh
Rolling Stone, Wow, big time.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Yeah, And we don't know if she's coming back.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I predicting if Vegas was taking back, I would put
a good chunk of change that she's not going to
make it back.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Really, I'm just trying.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Okay, that's a good way to start a podcast. Hello.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
Hello, my name is Keevy A.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Rappaport.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
My name is Michael Rapper.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Welcome to Rapaport's Reality the Podcast, where keep My wife
and I discuss, break things down, debate all things reality TV,
all things popular culture, and some curated gems from are
very very coveted, very asked about relationship. I hope everybody's

(01:33):
feeling really good. I hope everybody is feeling really really good.
Today we are back at Super Bowl time. Yes, so
many things to discuss in the world of reality TV,
so many things to discuss in the world of popular
culture and the Super Duper Bowl where Taylor Swift and

(01:54):
the Kansas City Chiefs. Taylor Swift and the Kansas City
Chiefs will be playing against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yes, and everybody is going to be watching because Taylor
Swift will be there with her red lipstick on shining
bright like a diamond.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
And her Louis Vauton. Was it Louis Vantell's?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was a Louis Vuitton like zip up jacket.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
I saw that.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
They said something like her outfit was worth over ten grand.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Are her Louis Vauton things like one of one's? No,
I think I.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Only saw her where. Wasn't it a Gucci hat? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I don't follow Taylor. She's not really known for her fashion.
I don't think she shows up at the games like.
She not my kind. I mean, somebody's fashion, just not
known for a kind of fashion that I would like
to follow.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
But are those like anybody could get those jumps shots.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know. I don't I don't do this.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, all right, Well, the other day she had on
some kind of Louis Vuitton sweatsuit. It was low key,
you know, for Louis Vuitton, and she had a Louis
Vuton bag. It was probably worth I don't know, five
thousand dollars. And me personally, I don't know why she
has to go to every game. I get support your man,
but it's it just seems like a lot. It seems

(03:08):
like a lot to go to every game and she's
in there. The week before she was with Caitlyn Clark.
This week, I can't tell if it was Travis Kelse's mom.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
I think her mom might be going to Travis's. She's
always with Travis's mom.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
I see, is her mom going to the game?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I don't think they've ever named her mom. I don't
have a problem with her going to every game, every game.
I think for security purposes. She was just doing the
home games, yes, but she did it this week, right?
Was it in kens yeah, so yeah, I got no
problems with that. I love that they had a little
after party at their favorite little oh the bar that they.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, just like them and their crew.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, the team, they threw it, they hosted it.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
It's happening. Taylor Swift, Travis Kels, Patrick Mahomes, even the coach,
Andy Reid, They're everywhere.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's funny, You're like, even the coach, Andy Reid, I
didn't even know what the coach's name was. I feel
like it's it's her team.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
It's that's why I said, Taylor Swift and the kids.
I even put her over Patrick Mahomes and the rest.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Of the Patrick's wife.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Oh, she said, she doesn't exist compared to Brittany.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Brittany, Brittany.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs versus the
Philadelphia Eagles, right, And of course, Kendrick Lamar is going
to be performing at halftime.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's two weeks away.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Lord only knows what will happen between now and February ninth.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
It's the ninth.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
Was the fourth, Okay, the ninth, Yeah, that's away.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
So there's going to be so much controversy. Is Taylor
going Is it not going.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Why would she not go?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Who knows it'll be. I'm sure there'll be some sort
of reports. Did they break up before the Super Bowl?
Are they getting married? Is she pregnant? All this will
be intertwined with the actual game.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
And now my theory was that they were going to
break up on the what was it the after the election?
But now I think the way they passionately embrace after
this game, I think they're going to stay together.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Also, I think that if the Kansas City Chiefs, led
by Taylor Swift, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kels, do win.
If they do win, I think Travis Kels is going
to retire. I think if you want to see Taylor
Swift at football games next season, you should root for
the Philadelphia Eagles because I don't think he'll retire if

(05:25):
it they lose.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I don't think he'll go out like that. Okay, So
that's my prediction.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
And you didn't seem all that into the championship games.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Of course, it was the Philadelphia Eagles versus.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
The Washington Redskins, and it was the Kansas City Chiefs
versus Josh Allen, who also goes out with a big
superstar sin Stein.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
I don't know who that is.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Really.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
I remember I just heard on the radio this.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Morning, Amanda Sign. No, it's it's something.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
She's an actress.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, I don't even know what she looks like. But
I heard Howard Stern say that he liked her, that
he noticed that she was there. I don't Hailey Seinfeld,
Hailey seinfeldt Steinfeld.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
No, I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I don't know who she is.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
I don't know who she is, but she's no Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I mean, you could be going out with a lot
of people and it's going to be overshadowed by Taylor Show.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
That's right, nobody cares.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
You have to, like, I don't know, pull like a
Jennifer Lopez rab it out of your ass to get
the attention that Travis Kelson Taylor Swift are getting.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Nonetheless, the game is set.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
You asked me, you said something to me.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
You were, you know, stop talking and let me say,
I don't want to talk over you. But you asked
me something that I wasn't too in and watching the playoffs. Yes,
you were, But the truth is is that I do
like watching football at this stage. I can't stick with
it the whole season. But the problem I have watching
with you is that you actually don't watch.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's not true.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
You think you watch.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's the only time where I think a man can multitask,
because typically you can't. You normally multitask, but watching football,
you could actually be on your phone the whole time
and barely look up. Because I was watching the show
that I like, The Night Agent, on Netflix, and every
time I looked over you were looking at your phone.
I could see the game over my laptop. So I

(07:22):
but I know you say it's incorrect, but a lot
of times you'll look up when you hear the screaming
and the referee whistle or whatever. They play it back
and rewind it because you've missed something. So when you
say I don't enjoy it, I don't enjoy it watching
it with you or being in the room.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
But I can.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
You're hogging the TV man.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
That's simple as that.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Are you pumped up for the Super Bowl?

Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I think okay?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
And do you think we should plan some sort of
super Bowl festivity.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
We're not going to a super Bowl party.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's I would rather go to a super Bowl party
that we're not why you never want to go to
a super Bowl party.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Those are so touch and go, and they're so it's
a roll of the dice because you don't know where
you're sitting, who you're sitting next to.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
You don't know what you're eating, you don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
The last time I went to a super Bowl party,
I can't remember what game it was, but I remember
going I'm never going to a super Bowl party again,
because I wanted to watch the game and it's just
people talking, and I'm like, this is pre like hard
body cell phone era, and I was like, I'm just
not doing this right.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I want to watch the game. You want to watch
the commercials.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Right, You want to assume your position, have the right snacks.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Because super Bowl commercials are a big part of the
entire super Bowl. Yes, anyway, it's in two weeks, so
we'll have plenty to discuss with that. We watched a
very good movie that we both found very entertaining, which
has been highly controversial. Amelia Perez excellent movie.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I found it to be aspirational really because it was
so unique. The storyline was unique, the cinematography was dope,
the setting. Not to give too much away for months
it's mounts.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Really, it's been out.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I'm new to this.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
So what I love about the movie it's besides my
favorite actress is oh Saldana. Yes, she plays a budding
attorney in Mexico, Mexico City, and she's sort of like
behind the scene, she's not getting due credit for her
in her career. And she then goes to represent, albeit
not in an attorney capacity, cartel member drug kingpin who

(09:31):
wants to transition drugs are Yes, he's czar. He wants
to transition to become a woman. I mean that's just
saying enough. And it's a musical period. It's like, huh,
what have you ever heard of such a thing? It's
incredibly shot. The dance sequences and singing are incredible. It's
just cotally unique. I highly recommend it. You know, in

(09:51):
the first five minutes of it, I didn't look over
at you because I was like, is this gonna work?
Or are you going to be into this? Because we
kind of have a short attention span because we watched
too much reality television.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
So I looked over at you and you were in it.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I liked it. I thought it was good. I thought
it was well done. I like the musical numbers. It
wasn't like, you know, all that jazz like and I
love all that jazz.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
But it was like boom boom boom.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
It wasn't like Hamilton kind of musical. Although that was
a play, it certainly is not like a Wicked No No.
I felt like the way, just the way it was shot,
the performances, and the story, like Keebi said, the fact
that it's about a drug lord that wants to transition
and then he does transition. I just thought it was very, very,

(10:37):
very well done. I thought it was very pro LGBTQ.
Some people are saying that it's not pro LGBTQ because
the LGBTQ character is flawed, and I'm like, that's totally
pro LGBTQ because humane those characters in the in films,
they don't have to all be these perfect people.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Absolutely, I'm shocked that people are saying that.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
One of the things that has controversy and all sorts
of controversy, some of which I think is ridiculous to
get into. One of the things that's also controversial about
the film is that Zoe Saldana is getting nominated and
won a Golden Globe.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
She's nominated for an Oscar and Best Supporting.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
And the main character Amelia Perez. I can't remember the
actress's name. She's not on screen as much, but she's
nominated as Best Actress and normally it's about screen time
and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
That's another controversy. But we give it two thumbs up.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Too, just too. I'd say five. I am it's a
five star movie. I loved it.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Five star movie. Well, it's two thumbs stars.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yes, yes, it was, oh right, Gene and Cisco Cisco neigh. Yes, yes,
I think that's odd that Zoe Saldana. She was even
though I know the plotline wasn't necessarily all about her.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
Yeah, I would see.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
This is she's the lead act Yeah, absolutely, I don't
that's wild.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Maybe it was to get her nominator or get the
other person. She was some kind of trick there.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
But but they were all good. Selena Gomez my former
co star, only murders in the building. She kicked ass.
She was excellent.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Most of her performances in Spanish. Most of the movie,
by the way, is in Spanish. Yeah, but to my surprise,
I really, really really enjoyed the movie. And I'm saying
to my surprise, because as we know, everybody knows, I
am not a musical person.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm not a musical person when I'm watching it on television,
except for we like Pitch Perfect. We like those movies.
Those are fun.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
That shit's funny, it's so good.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
But I typically that's not I like to see my
musical in a theater. Yeah, So for me, I was
a little trupidacious with this, but it turned about I
think I would watch it again. I told you that.
I said I think I would like to watch this
movie again because the dance numbers were so incredible. They
were like, a Lah, Martha Martha Thorpe, did Martha Thorpe?

Speaker 3 (12:53):
I don't know whom Martha Thorpe? Martha? Is that a
dance person?

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Thorp Twyla Thorpe.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Twyla Thorpe. Yeah, is that like a kind of thing?

Speaker 5 (13:00):
Is a modern dance lady?

Speaker 2 (13:02):
My mom is my mom, and my mom is gonna
be so mad that I don't know that. But it's
really the dance numbers and the synchronicity and the syncopatient
to the songwriting, which is not your typical songwriting, and
it doesn't necessarily.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Rhyme some of it's whispered. It's incredible.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
It's incredibly artistic feet and uh, I'm glad that it's
getting recognition because it's very, very different.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
We also highly recommend all things real houses. I don't
even know where.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
To start, babe, you know where should start, because the
other night we didn't have anything to watch.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
We had been all caught up.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, and I kind of sneaked it on like you
were brushing your teeth, and I turned the credits on
loud so you could hear the credits for Special Forces
on Fox.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh boy yeah, and you kind of oh boyd and watched.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
I know, I said keep going another one.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I know, I said keep going, keep going because it's
actually was very thrilling.

Speaker 5 (14:08):
I like the cast on this one.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
I really do. It's a good show. Special Forces is
a good fucking show.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
And I know you're annoyed watching it with me because
every challenge, everything they do, every time they're in the
barricades or the bunks, I'm always commenting. The show keeps
me very engaged because I'm fascinated, like would I be
able to do that what I have?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Because and the answer is always now though I'm like, no,
you would not. You know, at one point they get
called by the staff sergeants to come out. You know,
you got to be like you're in special forces. So
when the staff calls you, you got to run. And I'm
looking at you like you couldn't get from the cut
to the staff sergeant where you watch you run because

(14:54):
you want to take your shoes off all the time.
You gotta be ready out all times. You would not
be able to sleep on that thing.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
No, you wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
You wouldn't be comfortable in those boots. You have to
wear new balance like old man Teta shoes. You wouldn't
be comfortable in those combat boots all the time.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I know, I know, and and.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
And the big backpack.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
Ba, what the fuck is in that backpack?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
You know? I gotta compliment you. You're so helpful with
laundry and everything this last and you like did so
much and very very heavily doing it.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm working so hard.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
So when I when you say every five minutes during
the show, babe, could you do that?

Speaker 5 (15:30):
I think I could do that?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Could you do none of it?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Could you do? No?

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Maybe there's one? Well, which one do you think you
really could do? With the challenges that these special Force
people have.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
To do well. They're not all special forces.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Whether actors, pretending or performers athletes.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
The one to do well are the athletes. Because it's
it's Brodie Jenner, who's an athlete. You know, his father's
Bruce Jenner, and he said, like he's in. Yeah, he
was in his father, but you could tell like he's
an athlete.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Then there's the Pink's.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Husband, Carry Hart, who was a motorcycle flipper.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, he's incredibly athletic.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, focused, He flips motorcycles like double flips and chop
flips and backwards forwards. And then Cam Newton who's in
his Super Bowl MVP. Yeah, Cam Newton wasn't just a
football player.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
He won MVP.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
I'm pretty sure he's a Hall of Fame guy. Like
he's a he's also six seven. He's like a freak athlete.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Right.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
The other guy, Golden Tate, he's excelling.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
What team did he play for?

Speaker 1 (16:28):
He played predominantly for the Seattle Seahawks, and he played
for the Detroit Lions, but the bulk of his career
was with Seattle at least that's where he won the
Super Bowl. He was on the same team with Russell
the Love Muscle who's married to Siarra, and Marshawn Lynch
who's very famous and you know he won a super Bowl,
but he was on my fantasy football team many years.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
He was that dude.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Sometimes he's doing the challenges and you're like, is this
really Golden Tate because he looks like confused.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
He just looks confus But I would say, yeah, he
looks likes challenge.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
They were laughing. That was the one.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
Can't cheated, like you didn't even do the number of
burpees that he was supposed to do.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
That was bad.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
No, this is really bad. I love watching the show.
I just wish we could tone down and just be
observers instead of like we're doing our own challenge while
we're watching it, of like discussing whether you could do
the things. And we had a really good workout the
other day, like a full weight lifting, tough workout.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
About this workout with these you got me with these
little five foot I don't know.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
It's just a woman I found on YouTube. I don't know,
but I think she's great. I don't even know the
name of it, Growing with Anna, Growing Anna's or I
don't know, but she doesn't talk, and it's.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Like it's free, it's free.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah, well she's getting paid because each one of our
videos has like two million views.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
But she's kind of a home gym.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
If you want to work out, if you got yourself
a five pound weight to ten pound weight, even if
you don't have any weights, these workouts were.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Really difficult, thirty five minutes of like fifty minutes on
you know, twenty minute rest. But anyway, my point is
seconds on fifty seconds on. My point is is that
working out with you is very frustrating because you don't
I don't want to hear anything. I kept saying, let's
go special forces, because you stopped the whole time.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
You called me special forces. And you know what, that
didn't that motivated, it did not. You sat down on
the bench.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
You did it.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
You sat on the bench.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
You said, you know, and I said, if you're not
going to do the actual exercise, do something else, hold
a plank whatever. You got to be driven here if
you I don't want to hear about because I have
mental discipline. I was a gymnast. I have to push
myself and I'm very very tough. I don't like wossies.
I don't like people who stop. I'm not calling you wiosa.
I'm just saying sometimes you will stop when I think
you can go harder.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
But when you said to me Special Forces, I pushed
out for another test.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
You did, you did.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
It did work.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
It did work.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
But like we said, listen, we're deep diving all this
reality shit and again Special Force is on Fox. It's
another good season. We enjoyed last season, we enjoyed it
this season, and it's a good time. I really try,
really wish that somehow, some way they would have kept
my girl, Denise Richards. But even without Denise with Cam

(19:06):
Newton again, he fucking cheated at Brody Jenner, Corey Hart,
some of these people I don't know. The ex girlfriend
of a trap Kayla, she's good, she's a good competitor.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
She cheated.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
She cheated too.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, they fucking cheated.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
I didn't like that they cheated. Shows a lot of character.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
I love that cameras are watching.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Yeah, you're on a.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
TV show, Like, when is there a time where you're not?
That shows how tired they are. No, that just shows
your integrity, to be honest. I was like, wat but
you know what I love about the show. It's not
just these sergeant Staffman members. They kind of delve into
the psyche of each person on the show according to
their behavior during these certain challenges. And I find it

(19:50):
to be I love a reality show with either a
relationship reality and it's got to be totally pruful, or
I like one with real deep meaning. You know, even
Traders has a meaning to people's integrity. What are willing
to do what they're not willing to do to get ahead?
And in this it's like a personal challenge. And in
that reason, I can understand why you would say, you know,
you're watching it, and you could say to yourself, I

(20:11):
want to try this, because right, is that how you're feeling.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I do feel that way, and when they're in the
cold water, I always feel the way. And then the
other day, after we watch it, I didn't mention this too.
I had went for a walk and I was by
the beach and it's the wintertime, and I was looking
at that freezing cold water and I was like, I
would never go in that shit. And I was thinking about,
you know, Special Forces and just how much and how

(20:37):
many times they have missions they call them missions.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
I think they don't call them challenges. The mission missions, challenge.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Challenges is for traders and challenges for survivals.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
The same survivor, the same big brother, the same Love Island.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
These are missions. And I was thinking I would never
go in that.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I'm looking at that freezing, ice cold January East Coast
water and I'm like, no way. But when they had
them jump off the helicopter into the water, now they
weren't that high. I would have done that. Would I
have made it to the boat to be picked up. No,
my swimming wouldn't have.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
I don't know. I was a junior lifegarden. I don't
think I would have made it.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Not many of them. I don't think I could do.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Any of those challenges right now. Like we worked out
the other day and I gave it my all, but
I'm not in great shape.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
What about the underwater like taking the black box thing,
I think I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
I could do that.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
I could do the gas. You had to go in
a room and they turned the gas on.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Pabe. I'm gonna be honest, there's no fucking way you
would have done that.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
I could have done the gas.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
I know I couldn't have done the gas challenge. See
that's the thing. When I'm watching, I'm not saying I
know it's one I could do.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
When the boat's going and you had to jump onto
the helicopter and hold onto it and climb up. There's
no way I could do that, no upper body strength.
It would not happen. I don't even I don't even
have good grip strength, which is really bad for agent.
I read something recently that you have to have good
grip one of the signs of.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Agent beyond grip strength.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Oh exactly.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
But people, I don't know if anybody our age is
I think carry Hart might be our age.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
If he's forty eight or forty four.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Okay, so he's young.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
So I don't know how they jumped because it was
the people that some people got there.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Hold on, Yeah, no, this is crazy. Anyway, it's a
great show. I love watching it. I love watching it
with you. I just wish that you would just watch.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
It and full transparency.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
The only reason why I even consider thinking about these
missions is because the first season they had asked me.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
To be on their I think we mentioned that last time.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, I don't know if that was some sort of
like any wants some comedic relief, right, But.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
And I begged you.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
I said, absolutely no, don't even call them back.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
But I know what it was.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
We had an idea with Special Forces. It's films and
were crazy.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
We love we love reality TV so much. Anyway, Traders.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Also this week again unbelievable show.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
I love it so much.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I just we really resent the fact that it's one
and done.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, they got to stop doing that. That doesn't make sense.
Write a letter to somebody, don't you know, somebody over
there at the peacock.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
It's not fair.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
You can ask Andy. Yes, he's a producer.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
We could ask Andy, Yeah, why did they do that?
It's fucked up. Yeah, we need more because it gets
you so much.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
I've set you this week. Let's like, let him stack
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
But we're too far down the rabbit hole now, we're
too deep in it to let them stack. At this point,
I could let.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
That show stack. I loved I love a binge you
know me. It's three in a row is great.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
I could say, maybe next season we'll binge it. It's
gonna be your loss, guys, Traders, Traders, producers, Andy Cohen.
If we have to wait till the end to binge
it it's your loss, not ours.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, anyway, babe, are you are you following the whole?

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Justin Baldoni and.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
What's her name, Blake Lively Blake?

Speaker 5 (24:05):
Are you following this at all?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
It's not easy to follow exactly.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
I don't know what's happening.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
It seems.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Like there's something bigger at play, not some sort of
conspiracy thing. I feel like these two people really didn't
like each other. Something went wrong. Do you think they
like had a crush on each other or something.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
That's what I was thinking. I was thinking this has
to be because I just briefly looked at the Daily Mail.
He's married, so she's married to Ryan Redtlels And I
looked at this brief exchange that they had an article
on the Daily Mail, but it had all the texts
exchange between the two. There was even a voice message
from him to her. And it seems very odd to

(24:47):
me that it didn't seem like anything bad. But I
do know. Circle back to Taylor Swift, she does at
one point say that she shared the pages that she
wrote because I think she wrote the script or wanted
to make changes to the script, and she had shared
them with she refers to her dragons, to her khalisies.
She compared that her little crew is like Game of

(25:08):
Thrones and that she you know, goes to them for
everything and if they say it's good, because you know
it's good. And there's something like that in there that
just kind of concern me. And I don't think if
he responded in timely fashion to that or in the
right way, And it caused a long exchange of like,
these are her people and she trusts them.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
It just seemed like a lot, and then he apologizes
for like, I didn't need to know that they liked
it to.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
Tell you that I liked it, even if it was
it was very strange.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
It seems to me like ego was involved here in
a massive, massive way, like massive because you know when
two people are fighting but they're not ever fighting about
what they're fighting about. Yeah, that's what I kind of
got the Jess, And I think that maybe there was
a little crush. You know, sometimes you hate the person
you of a crush on because you shouldn't. You're you're

(25:56):
married to Brian.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Reynolds, yes, and now like seven kids.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Like and maybe she's this is the first time she's
I don't know the story. I don't know the book
that is it's a basic book book.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
Maybe not.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's justin Baldonix.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
I was just gonna say, who is this guy? I
don't even know who he is.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
I saw a picture of him and I was like,
never saw him before.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
I never heard his name before.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Why has this taken flight in the world to this degree.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
I have no idea.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't even know much about Blake Lively as an actress.
I know that she was in that what was it,
The Giggly Girls, the Funny Girls and.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
That show and I don't even know babe. Wasn't it
a reality show? See, this is crazy for us to
talk about. We don't even know who she is.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
It was like The Giggly Girls or the Funny Girls,
and it was it took place in New York City.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
The Traveling Pants. No, I don't know. I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
And I saw her in that movie. I remember her.
She was in that movie The Town.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
And other than that, she's married to Ryan Reynolds, who's
ridiculously successful. I know she got like fifteen kids, and
she did this movie and it's a shit show and
it's not doing anything for her.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
It's not doing anything.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Good for isn't it a Netflix movie?

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Wow, this is incredible.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
What they should do is be like, listen, I didn't
like you, you didn't like me, but we should do
part two because that's how we're really going to be successful.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
Totally. I think that he's suing her.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I don't sue him, but it's for four billion, four hundred.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Four million, yeah, four hundred million dollars or was.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
It defamation and all bad shit?

Speaker 5 (27:27):
That's bad. It's just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
I mean, you imagine working with somebody that you don't
like that much or you hate, you must.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Hate or you hate.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, I think where it go would turn really left
is when the husband got involved. When Ryan Reynolds gets involved,
I think that he's tough, and uh, if he's anything
like his Deadpool.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Character, oh boy, yes, oh boy, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
So I think, And then you got the director from
Deadpool coming out being like, yo, wasn't easy to work
with him there. This is just a mess. It's like
a wrecking ball and it's it's not stopping.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, it's not stopping. It's not going anywhere.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
And I've had enough I don't know anything about it.
I didn't see the movie. Again, we don't know who
Justin Baldoni is. We don't even know the TV show
that Blake Lively got her start on the Upper East Side.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Don't even remember in the town.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Listen, I'm telling you, I don't know. I know she's
friends with Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
That sh That's enough for me.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
That's all about Justin Baldoni.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Don't fuck around, because once you get Taylor Swift and
the Swift, He's coming after you.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
You're in a song.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yeah, you're you're looking for big trouble.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
And we have the Real Housewives of New York Brynn
Apparently Brynn went from the Real Housewives of New York
apparently has gotten herself some sort of publicists because an
article came out and seemed like it was everything was
hunky dory.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Yeah, I was more gone girl for me. It wasn't
like I was like, this is your doubling down. Doubling
down with a publicist. Yes, well, she's in marketing, so
she would know how to spin this whole thing around.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I don't think there's any spinning Brinn.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, No, we're all smarter than that. But she did it,
you know what I mean, she was bold enough to
go out there and it was the article in uh
Rolling Stone, Wow, big time.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, And we don't know if she's coming back.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
I predicting if Vegas was taking back, I would put
a good chunk of change that she's not going to
make it back. Really, no, they're not going to work
with her. Do you think Uba Uber's coming back?

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Right? She's she was on her way out the door.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
This helped her, This saved her, saved her ass. Yeah,
saved her.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Brin, I would guarantee you they're going to say absolutely positively.
I'm definitely not working with br Whitfield. Brin Whitfield, right.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, it's unfortunate because she was, to me like a
rising star and just reality television. I wouldn't say Housewives
because it's a lot to say how I feel about
New York.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
But I I don't know.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
Maybe she would come back.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
They're not gonna do the show, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Why, because it's the subject about essaying and it's sensitive
and she's a woman. I don't know how this climate
would happen if she wasn't asked back because of this.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
That's true, That is true. But we'll see.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
We know that lagron Dame, the Great Karen Hugo said
she's stepping away, which I think was smart. She's she's
taking time away from the show for her own personal
wellbeing and for her own personal growth and to get
past this whole controversy she was found guilty. We're coming
to the end of Potomac. It's been a strong season

(30:27):
of Potomac. Obviously, it's been a strong season of Real
Housewives of Salt Lake City. The reunion has just started.
They're screaming, they're yelling, they're going crazy, they're crying. But
the Lagrondame, she's gone.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
She's done.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
She's done.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
That's a big loss.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
That's a big, huge loss. She is the matriarch of
dare I say of Potomac. I you know, I wonder
if she got in front of it first, she did,
you know, and maybe I doubt they would let go
of her because of that.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
I feel like, so go ahead. No, I think she just.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Liked the way she looks being found guilty. I mean,
listen the whole five episodes before. She was like, you guys,
just wait and see what happens. The truth will come out,
you know, And here we got the truth. And girl,
you was drunk.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Okay, yeah it was bad.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
And so she was drunk allegedly we always say allegedly
even if she was, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
She's found guilty, she does her time, we we I
love her.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Yes, allegedly she was found to have run her car
into a tree allegedly allegedly.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
And allegedly she had been drinking. We're going to say allegedly.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Who knows the whole thing? And we said.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Allegedly everything I say ever podcast.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Could be called allegedly rapper portray.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
That's actually we should really change it to that.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Allegedly rap portrayality to cover our ass, and we preface
it everything by saying allegedly, I.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
Forget to do that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well listen, babe, I'm really sad about it. She was
one of our favorites.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
She'll be back, got to be back.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I hope she gets over because she's human. Everybody makes mistakes,
and I want you to come back. And if you
allegedly made a mistake.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
If you allegedly made a mistake anyway, make sure you
tell a friend to tell a friend about Rappaport's reality,
and make sure you subscribe you rate and review rappaports
Reality and you could follow us on Instagram at Rapaport's Reality.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
And this was a fantastic episode, Babe.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I know you get uncomfortable when I brag about the episodes,
but this was a fantastic episode. Taylor Swift, the Swifties
and the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, congratulations
on making it to the super Bowl. We will be
watching and eating something. We have two weeks to figure
it out.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
A love you, babe.
