Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hello, Hello, we are back. My name is Michael Rapaport.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
And I'm Kivy Rapaport, and this.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Is Rapaport's Reality, our podcast where we discuss all things
popular culture, all things reality TV, and some curated gems
from our much much much everybody wants to know about
our relationships, so we curate some gems from our relationship.

(00:39):
Rapaport's Reality. We are back. Glad to be back. Super
Bowl Week, yep, super Reality Week.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Super Everything Week.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
You were in San Diego and I was very, very
concerned that you would not get back in time for
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I made it back in time, made it.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
There was snow.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I called you and I was like, there's snow. There
may be snow in the morning, but you made it
back literally just in time.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Made it back just in time for the Super Bowl.
That wasn't a very super game, but boring, and it also,
you know, you know what else it wasn't We didn't
discuss this in the pre production meeting. The commercials weren't terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I used to watch it for the commercials. Do you
know in my.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Long illustrious career of commercial acting, I never was in
a Super Bowl commercial that.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Was like a big thing to get back then, it
it wasn't your to kenby mctumbo. One didn't get.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh, you're right, I think it came.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
It was, but it wasn't for the super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Years after the Super Bowl. It didn't air the first
time it came, but then years later it came on
and they used it in the Super.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Bowl with the late great to kenby Mutumba. And what's
the brand? Uh? It was Geico Geico. Yeah, yes, Kibi
was in a Geico commercial that aired during the Super Bowl.
It wasn't made for the Super Bowl with the late
great to kenby m tumbo. Of course, the no no, no,
no no. Right. So if you're if a guy co

(02:04):
commercial comes along, you might catch the star of Rappaport's
reality starring in well co starring you're co star in
that star of this. Yes I would.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'd like to say, yeah, I like to think so.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yes, starring in rapper Ports reality co starring of course,
the late great to kem Matumble.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
It used to be a really big thing, you know,
to get a commercial. Not that it made any more money,
It just was more eyes on your commercial because people
were actually paying attention. I mean, this was back when
we didn't have what was it TiVo initially or dvring
or being able to rewind.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Back and forth. It was just that everybody was glued
to the TV.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Would see your commercial had nothing to do with more money,
right or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I didn't think that the commercials were as great as
they have been in the past. I my favorite one
is the campaign with Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck Duncan,
just because I love their Boston thing. I love that
kind of you know, humor, Like that kind of exaggerated
Boston personality to me is so nuts. Like it's probably

(03:09):
what a lot of people think of, like exaggerated New York.
But for me, Boston it's so obscure. And I think
that they're just funny and he's funny doing that, and
those commercials are good. But you know, I loved.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
The Martha Stewart commercial for Sketchers.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
That was fun.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
It was very quick. AI everything is AI CGI. It's
bizarre crazy.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It was like chat GPT and AI this and AI that.
What's the world coming to this? And I'm just like,
where's the beef? Lady? You remember the where's the Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
You said, what about a good old RB's commercial. And
then there was controversy because they did a Carl's Junior
commercial that is not PC with a hot chick eating
a hamburger. Remember that famous Carl ju and Your commercials
with a sexy girl and it's ketchup dripping down her
mouth and it was like really salacious and sexy. There
was one of those commercials on and people were the
Internet was like, you know, we're back, you know, no more,

(04:06):
no longer when needing to be PC.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
But it was a shitty commercial. It was like nothing.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, I was, I don't know. You know. There's this
Air Jordan commercial that's pretty cool, but it aired before
the Super Bowl. It would have been sick to air
it during the Super Bowl with these Air Jordans and
it's bringing all like the new people that are wearing
the Jordans and the band and all that stuff. But
there wasn't anything that really stuck out this year during

(04:33):
the commercial or during the game. Babe.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
The game was boring.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I'm very surprised nobody had that on their BINGO card.
As people like to say that the Kansas City Chiefs
Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift, Patrick Mahomes would get spanked so bad. Yeah,
nobody thought it would be like a blowout like that.
I mean, that was very, very surprising. And I'll just

(04:58):
move around in the whole super Bowl thing before we
even get into the super Bowl food debacle. Oh oh,
let's just call it what it is.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh, I don't think you should call it that. I
put so much effort into these nachos.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Before we get to the nachos bead.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, do you think, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going to be able
to sustain survive this Super Bowl loss?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Absolutely not. Listen.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I made a prediction that they were going to break
up after the election. Okay, so I was wrong. They
were doing good. Probably were they playing football? Yet I
think they were, so they kind of, you know, maybe
they said let's stay together.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
I don't know, Listen.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
I think they're about to enter their loser error, Like
you know what I mean, couples have these milestones in
their relationship, and I find that, you know, if he retires,
especially he's going out a loser and he's retiring and
you know, you need money for the Jetty.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
She can't be paying for everything.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I think that he's resentful that he's not going to
retire because I think that really based on the fact
that he showed up. Like Travis Keils has always been
a dresser. He's always had swag. He always like, you know,
through his whole career, like he always you know, it's
his style has changed, which is cool, but he's always
been one to like, you know, dress like the NFL

(06:21):
players doing, the athletes do. But I think him showing
up for some reason in a disco.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Outfit in a seventies suit and it was weird color too,
was like rust.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
It was wild, but he committed to it as he's
always done that. Before Taylor Swift, He's always like, you know,
dressed up and he had his chains and his fly
shit and all that. But this with the disco suit
and the disco change and the disco haircut and then
getting the shit beatn at him.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I mean, it was pathetic.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Let me ask you this, though we hold on, hold on,
he didn't bring an outfit just in case they lost.
So when he was leaving the game, really he had
the hall well, he didn't have the jacket on. He
was probably like, I can't wear this fucking jacket.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
You mean, he wore the shirt and the pants of
the suit after the game.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, WHOA. And I guess, like, if you want to
look dude, that's no winning attitude. I guess if you
want to look good winning, you gotta take the loss
look good too, I guess. But I would have been like, yo,
just give me a sweatsuit. Let me get the fuck
out of here. But he had the whole outfre not
the jacket interesting, which was showing sort of like jo, I.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Feel like that's just was not a good sign. He
made me plan to like come out, you know, I
would see if he was planning on winning, he'd come
out with maybe a sequin suit, you know what I mean,
bright red or something celebratory.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
That's bizarre.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
But let me ask you. I, because I was so
paranoid about you coming home, I really got involved. I
think I was doing the leg work for you because
I didn't know if you were sleeping on the plane.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
But I got it very early.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
I started watching an NFL channel all the pre shows
and interviews. I gotta tell you, I saw an interview
with him ahead of time, and they asked him a
question on parapherras and like, are there any preparations you
do before the game, and you know, he's just like,
I don't really have any and I feel like great
players always say something to that. And I just looked

(08:12):
at it and I thought, oh, this is not good.
He's not He seems very lax and laid back kind
of dude anyway, But I was a little afraid it
seemed like he wasn't taking it that seriously.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I know we take it serious. But his answer was like,
I don't you know.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
I just come and I try to play good for
the team, literally what I said. So I'm just saying
it's just because I'm not an astute.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Watcher of football. This is the things that I was
picking up.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
He probably has been asked that question and some people
have all these I do this, I do that, and
he might not have this whole pregame routine. You could
say whatever you want to say about Travis Kelson the
tails of he will go down as one of, if
not statistically, the greatest tight end ever. So whatever he did,
didn't do, whatever, has nothing to do with it. I

(09:02):
just think in his head his brother retired last year.
I think in his head he was like, We're gonna
win one more super Bowl, and I'm getting the fuck
out of here, and I'm wearing my disco outfit and
I got my hair parted like Rob Low, and I
am going to move on to the other part of
my life. He still might retire, he might be done.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Maybe he's done.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Listen, I really hope they stay together. I was thinking
a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Now the challenge starts.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
Yes, now the real deal is like, not a bunch
of fanfare. You gotta do real life, you know, as
a loser.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Because he'll be right as going out as a loser,
because he'll he won't have the schedule.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
I mean, listen, she's got stressful stuff going on with
the breakup of their friendship with Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Isn't she used to that though?

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I don't know. I think she's human.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
I think it probably would still be difficult, like you're
in the press, you kind of I don't know. I
just feel like, now the real relationship begins.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I agree the takeaway, all the fanfare.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
All the fanfare, and I have practice and you're on tour.
You're on tour, on practice, like he's gonna be like, yeah,
like you know, oh wait, you're leaving. I was just
gonna hang out all day. The super Bowl itself was disappointing,

(10:26):
and you know, we move on, but the real disappointment.
And I don't mean to I don't mean to harp
on it. And I've said this many times publicly, and
I don't feel like I need to do the pre
cursor for this all the time. Kibi's cooking is outstanding
and the fact that anybody say.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
That, But then what follows, babe?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Okay, Yes, we didn't know if my flight was going
to be on time because of the snow, and there's concerns, YadA, YadA, YadA,
and I take what I could get. We know that
the bar is low on what I will eat. I'll
eat anything.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Maybe you should up your bar.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Okay, well, if I'm gonna get my ball.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
I put a lot of thought into these nachos because
I wasn't making anything.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Did you because what the fuck? What?

Speaker 2 (11:12):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
They looked at me.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Crazy because they looked crazy because I did it.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
On a sheep pan, And I think, maybe did you
read a recipe? You know?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
I started looking at different recipes that look really cool.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
But then I was like, no, I'm just you know,
how I do. I just do things the way I
want to do them.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
And there's those chips from that brand that I like
sete yeah, and they were blue corn chips. I think
that's where I started to go wrong. I mean, I
started to get very healthy creative, and I think when
I do that, it's.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Just not good, especially with nachos. I think certain things
like you just got to go, we're making nachos. There
is no healthy version of not.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I know, I know, but I prepped. I mean I
saw when you you said you landed. I saw where
you were and how long it was going to take.
You said twelve minutes. So I was sort of like,
you know.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
But that wasn't it though, It's let's not make it.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Tell me what the problem was.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Because well, I'm gonna eat whatever you throw in front
of me. That's the same that's the thing that might
have thrown you off, and that that might be the
thing where the bar and all that. So maybe I
need to raise my bar because I'm gonna eat like
it's like a dog. Yes, a shout out RP to
our dog Weezy who passed away, Like he's not gonna
sit there and go oh, I wanted to look like

(12:24):
it's a dog. You throw it in the bowl, the
dog's gonna eat it. I'm like that with food.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
No ship, I know, but that's a you problem because
I think the fact that you've become.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
Listen presentation is everything.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
I get it. But they you ate them and a
couple of times you're like, not bad.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
They tasted just fine, but it wasn't layered. There was nothing.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I don't use that much cheese. I think I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
They were very beanie because I put beefried beat you
know what. I gotta admit they were ship.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
It was like a big.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Posash, like a nacho. It's not that you want to
eat nachos all the time, but for next football season
because I.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
I guess if you did wings or something I could
have done. I don't know how to cook any chicken wings.
I'm just getting back into my protein cooking because I
think that we need to switch our our diet. My
mom sent me this thing about eating meat.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
I know yesterday and I made you steak last night.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
No, And I know, and you made steak last night,
and you're like, we're gonna go in a protein thing.
And I was like, what podcast did you listen to?
Like I know, I'm like, what fucking podcast did you get? YouTube? Shit?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Like I can't sleep. This is what I do.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I study and then the next day it's like we're
eating all protein and that. But that steak was good though.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
It was good kosher meat from uh Risia.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
This ship was really good. Yeah, listen, I don't care protein,
not protein, carbs, no carbs, whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I just just agree that the nachos were not great
because of the presentation. Because the taste was okay. I
made fresh guacamole. No, you know, they had ground turkey,
there was cheese, there was.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Tis fine, but it also I wish it was of
like layer chips.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
The chips were very not hearty to be.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
But isn't there a way to put the like the
beans and then you put a layer of chips and
then beans on top of it.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Michael, you get in there and you fucking do it.
There is a way. I did it.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
But when I pulled the tray out and you didn't
know how you're gonna eat it, you didn't want to
eat it off the whole tray. We dumped it into
a bowl and it changed the look of my presentation wrong.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I saw it when it came out of the oven.
There was no listen.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
I listen. I'm not.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
I can't win every time anyway, like like the Kansas
City Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Shit. If Patrick Mahomes could lose a game, you can,
you know, make what you made for the show?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
You you ate your fair share, and then I paid
for it all night because your farts were disastrous, like
you almost chased us out of our bedroom.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
And I say to that, it's time to grow up.
You grow up. I won people, You grow up.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
You know what, You're the only person that if you
fart and it smells so vile, it's like what happened
inside your stomach? And I always ask you the same thing,
what did you eat while you were away, Michael? Because
I can smell everything that you've eaten, so you can't
lie to me when you've had like a Slobby Joe
or some shit and some ice cream because I smell
ice cream, well, babe, And then you break out the

(15:18):
spray and then you get mad at me when I
am angry because it was so bad that I started
to get angry. If you actually ruined the night, it
was vile. I can't even describe the smell as it
came out, and each fart was different. You know when
people fart, usually it's like the consistent smell. Every time
you farted, it was like corn, and then Burt broccoli,
and it just got worse and worse and worse. And

(15:39):
then you don't even have the decency to say, I'm
really sorry, babe, because because we're sharing space.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
There's no reason to apologize for something that I knew
it was bad.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I know it's your body.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Okay, let's move off. Let's move off of something great,
which is again, I don't know if it's episode five
or six of.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Traders, Traders of episode seven.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Seven, whatever it is, and we're gonna give a spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, spoiler alert. The great Boston Rob got killed,
as they call it on the show. They they got
rid of them, they got rid of him, and that
motherfucker brought it.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
He's a great gamer, he's excellent, but he messed up.
He should have never gotten read of Bob the drag Queen.
He did it too soon. You don't get rid of
a Trader in front of everyone like that. And he
jumped the gun, I think, And then messed up his
whole game, and he was trying to play catch up
this whole time. You think so, yeah, I just I
think it was not he thought he could do it

(16:42):
because his name came up, but he should have parlayed it.
He should have waited at least another episode before he
made that move.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
I mean, he is very entertaining to watch on these
shows because he's so calm and so good with his
words and so relaxed and his whole persona. He's like Italian,
or he seems like he looks Italian, or may be Irish,
but he looks like he's Italian and his whole Boston
thing and his hat. He is very very good. And

(17:13):
whether you couldn't stand him or loved him, he kicked ass.
I mean he really fucking he brings the shit.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
He's a good player because he's aggressive with the game
and you know, instead of being laid back like other
people are. I think that my big disappointment of the
show is, like I love Dolores, but I just am
shocked at how she's playing.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Wasn't your father the police chief? Yes?

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Like I feel like she picked Tom twice, like just
out of like spite, like revenge, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Like, what is going on?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Maybe she's doing that all the time.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes, And then this morning I thought, huh, maybe that's
a strategy. You sit back, you watch everything, you say
just enough, and then you pick a rando that you
know is a faithful and you just go after him
because he went after you, and then you just watch.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Maybe that's it.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
It might be, it might be. I'm so curious because
I was like, you have to know, this guy's full
of shit.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
The w says stute, she knows people. I think, you know.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I just think there's something going on that I'm shocked
that she's not more aggressive. But you're right, it may
be a strategy.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, because yeah, I was surprised that that too. But again,
you have to like, you can't get emotional on that show, right,
If you get too emotional, you're gonna be fucked.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah, and two of the ladies, Danielle and Carolyn are
super emotional. It's a chaotic game that they're playing and
I can't.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Wait to see what happens.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
But Babe, the part that freaked me out was the
challenge with the bugs when they had to put their
hand in that box and you said, we could do that,
and I disagree.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, there was a challenge just to tell people that
didn't see the episode or don't watch Traders and again,
and I don't look to me to beat a dead horse.
But if you are looking for a very, very fun
and now's a good time to start with Traders because
you can stream all the episodes. Our biggest pet peeve
with Traders that got you gotta wait once a week.

(19:10):
It's like old school. It's like watching old school TV,
which sucks. But there was a challenge where the players
had to couple up.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
And uh, as if they were getting married.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
As if they were getting married. There was this sort
of marriage ceremony and then they were told all you
have to do is hold hands for eight minutes. Yes,
and everyone's like, you know, that's nothing. And then it
was like, uh, then this box came out and they're like,
oh yeah. And then in the box they held hands
and then they put beetles.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Some kind of bugs, a centipede type of big worm
with a bunch of.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
You know, I I there's no way, there's no way.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
A lot of them chose not to look, but the
game just got worse because after I don't know, towards
the end, the last two minutes, they started dropping maggots
and crickets and roaches from the sky.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
That shit. That was well, I mean, and they couldn't
wipe them off because you had to hold hands. So
you have to hold you can't let go of your
partner's hand during and wild bugs, maggots cock eye me.
They put a fucking snake on them.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
You almost saw Dolores's personality because she partnered up with Cryscelle.
She was pissed and Chroshelle didn't last one second. She
pulled her hand out immediately, and you saw Dolores get
pissed off like that.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
You saw her.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Percent wrong pick or wrong partner? Yeah, yeah, because she
she said not okay, right, she said right.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
She was pissed because she I think it's something that
she could have powered through mentally one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
But would honestly, now that you watched it, would you
have been able to do that? Yes, you would have been.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I think I would have.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Wanted to win that.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
The problem I would have had is when they dropped
the bugs and maggots going down my bed, when they
were like, oh it's in my bra that stuff, I'd
be like, nah, I mean for what, Like why am
I doing this?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
But for me because I learned in therapy that I
am as tough as I am.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
I'm a little bit of a people pleaser, so I
wouldn't want to pull my hand and mess up the
other person. So I would have to like communicate with
them and say, hey, look, Mike, I can't do this anymore.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
I'm going to have to. You know, we'd have to.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
You wouldn't start.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
You got to keep going, I know, but once you started,
it got worse, progressively worse.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
The grossest part of it to me was when they
had to dig for the ring and they had all
because they were it seemed like that it was going
in their nails and ship. It was disgusting.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
It was great TV. Though.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Got to give a shout out and you need to
publicly give a shout out to Tom Sandevil, who he
was the guy who was like Boston Rob Boston Rob Boss.
He was so fucking happy. I'm proud of himself.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I'm hard on him and this is not my favorite person.
But up until the bugs, the episode was getting boring,
and then it even went better when he opened his
mouth up. I mean, there was a part where he
walked out in front of Boston Rob and the other kid, Dylan,
and they ignored him, and the way he ign I
read an article they they didn't see him. Like that's
how like nothing Burger. He is on the show and

(22:24):
it's working, it's working, but he turned it around and
he's become quite entertaining. I can't tell, though, is he
manipulative and planned and like is he just dumb?

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like I think it's a little bit of both. Yeah,
there's a.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Little bit a person who thinks they've got an m
O and they have, you know, like this ability to
manipulate things. But you're like, it's totally transparent, You're not
that right.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
It's so good And I just just because like all
his flaws and I just like his character on to
Pump Rules and then when you see it translate into
another show, I just he's like.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
To me, he's like a Vinnie Barberina. Completely, yeah, totally completely.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
But he was the one who was like, it's Boston Rob,
It's Boston Rob. And he was so fucking proud himself
because he was picking the worst yes people going into it.
And I love that he's rocking his Tom Tom had yeah,
I saw that.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Anyway, so Traders has been good and uh, we have
to also discuss Salt Lake City Real houseif of Salt
Lake City ended, came in like a wrecking.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Ball, ended their greatest season, I think. And I'm just
curious to see how what they'll do going forward.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Yeah, like, how do they do that? How do they
chase that without doing too much?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
It's hard to chase it. It's hard to uh, you know,
capture a snowflake in a bottle, yeah, or a snowball.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I wonder if everybody will come back. Do you think
the whole cast is coming back? And do you think
the Britney will be invited back?

Speaker 1 (23:59):
She should, she should come back, She should have the reunion.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
When she was standing off to the side and she
felt left out, she had total Foma was hilarious. I
was like, Wow, you know, you're just a friend, my.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Friend, right, You're just a friend.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
You're just a friend. You're lucky to even be here.
And she's like, I want them to say nice things
about me. It's very interesting. It's a very interesting girl.
She would make I don't feel like I want to
see her though.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
I don't want to see it.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
By the way, she's also going to the Selling Salt
Lake show right as a realtor, so maybe she won't
have time to be on the show.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
I'm hearing on social media that selling salt Lake is
a good time.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Selling Sunset is a good time. It's the same format.
It's great.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Also, we are deep into Southern charm. This is the
first season for me where I'm really invested in Southern charm.
I'm enjoying it. Fun those three guys. I could see
why the show is successful because those three guys are
talking about fucking dumb, dumb and dumb. I mean, fascinating,
all due respect, but they're very They're funny, they're fun

(25:02):
to watch.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
They're fun and.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
You know they're when you say dumb, dumb, dumber, you
know what I see them. Also, too is very like uh,
the boys that Peter pan syndrome boys, and like they
are very much vulnerable, and so we're calling him dumb, but.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
We don't really mean dune.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't think like Peter Panny vulnerable just a couple
of beats behind.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yeah, And I like that. I don't ye because you know,
people like, oh, your characters are dumber. I say that
with all due respect, but Shep, Craig.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
And Austin, the three of them are fucking thee.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
A spin off, just the three of them, like a six.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Like a vacation spinoff would be good.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Because they're just like tripping around. And my man, shep
he got like catfished or that that missed Bahamas.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
No, he didn't get catfish. It's just that she is.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
She probably saw him on Riah and he wasn't all
that was cracked up to be. Probably probably didn't like
his house. He didn't proably seem rich enough, just like
Whitney said at the dinner, you know, you're not famous
enough and you're not rich enough.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
But they went. It wasn't like she just hooked up
with him once, like it seemed like they had like
a little thing building and.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Then she just saw she was ghosting him a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Ghosted his ass. But I'm looking forward to seeing what
happens in the Bahamas. Yes, the whole cast, the whole plan,
as he calls it, goes down to the Bahamas. But
the good thing about the last episode of Southern Charm
is you really really see the dark black writing on

(26:35):
the wall to the end of page and Craig's relationship
when they went to the farm.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
I think you see it all the time when he's
talking about her and the guys are just it's like crickets.
They cut to Austin's eyes rolling or chef kind of
like doing that little squiggle and like body language of
like this is uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
He's talking about her again. Does this girl even like him?
You know, that's like through law a subtext to.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Me throughout the whole thing since they've been together, to
be honest, and it was evident when they went to
the beekeeper and he was so excited about getting bees
and she was like, Okay, I've seen enough.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
I gotta go.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Bees and goats, and then they had that conversation and
that literally could have been that's it because you just
got away.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
We said that.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
We were like, oh, we wish they were filming when
they broke up. We're gonna see it, right, We're gonna
see it.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Which makes me question did they hang on and hold
the breakup to right now, because the timing of it
is really good. I don't think that they did.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
No, But you know, there's a scene I don't know
if it was shot already when Madison and Craig are
on the phone and Craig's on the phone with Page
and then they tie Madison into the phone call. I think,
did I see that on Bravo or episode anyway?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
And they're talking about going When he talks to Page
on the phone, facetimes her she's not that interested. You know,
she's a scorpio. We're moody, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
But I think that she's been knowing for a while
that this is something she's trying to get out of.
It's probably very difficult to get out of something when
it's on television.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
I guess. I guess. I mean, they're not Taylor Swift
and Travis Kelce, but I guess for us they all Yeah,
for us, they are in a way because you know,
the breakup and the not break up and he was
on the reunion and watch What Happens Live and you know,
how you doing? How's your heart? And he said to him,
how's your heart? Craig like, I'm like, oh the fuck's

(28:31):
going on here?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Like it's didn't he unfollow her there yet?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
This wasn't like a they're not consciously uncoupling. They are done.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
They're done.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
They didn't.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Gwyneth Paltrow way, I think she's been seen with some dude.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Right, yeah, right, Yeah. Craig will be fine, fine, He'll
be just fine.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Maybe he could take a break and hang out with
the guys a little bit, you know, let his hair.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Down, right, because Austin, he needs he needs it, he
needs it.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
He is missing his romance.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Yeah, he's absolute missing his bromance. But we love Craig.
And we also loved the Real Housewrise of Beverly Hills,
which is another good season, great season.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
I mean this last episode, yeah, we're caught up, I
think because the Sutton takes garcel and Kyle to Augusta,
to her home, to what I call the plantation. Because
that was uncomfortable af.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
That mom is that mom was like.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
And then the dad that came in, old Joe, a
friend that was a friend.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah he sent my friend.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Okay, well Jimbo came in and looked at Garca. It
was so uncomfortable to me, and I was like, huh, Garcela,
this is the buddy you picked.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Huh. It was weird to me.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
I was very uncomfortable with the mom and the whole thing.
And then questioning why she chose to bring Kyle Sutton. Yeah,
I don't know, and you know, and not Erica who's
from there, right.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
It could have been a scheduling thing.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
No, but they don't they I think at the core
they don't like each other.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
At the core. Do you think name them?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Name them?

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Name them? Like why she were I just I just
am not seeing it? Is she just out of it?

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Like is the whole group kind of fractured, like in
that way where she's like, I'll pick Kyle to come.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I almost seem like Kyle didn't know why she was there.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
That mom is scary, she's terrifying.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
But she's just like sudden.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Is she?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
I think? So?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Woww So she says.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Whatever she wants with that right, thinking about someone's feelings.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
She's harsh.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
She looks like her.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
She looks like her, and I mean everybody's like terrified
of her. And Garcela got her a scarf and she.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
Was like, I mean, who does that with a gift?
What a terrible lady. Yeah, she's nasty, nasty, nasty. Yes'
behavior can be very very.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
Nasty, very judgy and nasty.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Judgy nasty, needing to be the center of attention. Remember
when they went to the strip dance thing and she
didn't wear since she got all mad and stormed off
in the corner. She's like a tantrum thrower, like her mom,
it looks like to me.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
And coming up on the preview, it had Garcel trying
to sit the mom down and tell her about herself,
and the mom was.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Like set her ass straight, Like, yeah that was I'm
telling you the mom, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
I want them to get out of augusta fast. Like,
what's the movie get Out?

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Like?

Speaker 2 (31:25):
I was like, Garcel, get out right, that's it felt
to me. Did you feel that way at all?

Speaker 1 (31:30):
No?

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Or is that just me?

Speaker 1 (31:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Because she was in a movie get Out Part two?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely. But Beverly Hills is just continuing
to kick ass, and Babe, are we going to find time?
We have to find time to go see Erica?

Speaker 2 (31:45):
When is it over?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
It's there's a few more weeks left in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Yeah, I already saw her do it.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
You saw her do it?

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Yeah, I'm probably the first time.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Is the crowd going to see Chicago?

Speaker 2 (31:58):
Yes? For her?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
They just go to see her.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yes, yes, Oh she's like Ariana. People came for her.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Lisa Rena did it. She did Chicago, so they could
just I think I saw her too.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
They could plug and play anybody in there. Huh yeah hmm.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
It's not an easy part, but Erica was. She was good.
I think that she's probably happier, happy to do it again.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Because the more reps you get.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah yeah, she got cut short right.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Right because of COVID and Tom Gerard. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I would be down to go see it.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I can't believe you're saying that I have to drag
you to the theater.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
I don't know. I need good seats. Those seats are.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Yeah, and I think that theater, you know, I know
most of the theaters like the seating, and that one
you'd have a hard to There's some seats that you
could do. You always have to be on the end.
But the way it's the shape of the theater.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
I'd be excited to see her live. Yeah. Anytime you
see any housewife doing something other than being a housewive.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
It is just in the wild. I mean, come on.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
And then afterwards we'd get to say all lo to war. Yeah,
and these are always exciting moments for us. We love
that shit.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
So we need to look at the schedule for Chicago,
and we have a little trip coming up to Florida,
which is needed because it's fucking cold.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I don't think it's that hot there. I looked what
do he mean sixty seven or something?

Speaker 1 (33:24):
No, I need heat.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
We just were there and it was not quite hot
enough for me.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
But I was in Miami for a day and it's
not like Miami. I don't know, but I need I
want because I'm bringing flip flops.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Oh, you're gonna go in the water.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
I would like to. I would like to. I mean,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Last time you were just in West Palm and he
didn't go in the water.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
I would like to go in the water. I need
you to watch me going because that.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
You know, down over there by your mom's the beach,
at your mom's house, that water seems very rough to me,
Like it's different.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I just need an eyewitness.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Yeah, well with with a life preserving or something like
that guard. Yeah, not an eyewitness. Yeah, it's rough. Let's
see if the.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
If it ain't like chill I don't.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I'm not feeling like I need to save you because
I could save you.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
No, no, no, no no. I don't want to need
to be saved. I don't play with the ocean. I
respect the ocean, yes, if it ain't calm, cool and collective.
And I don't see other people in the water. I
am by the way.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Last time we were there, I don't remember what month
it was. We didn't see anybody in that that that
thing is rough over there.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
All right, well we'll figure it out anyway. Make sure
