Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hello, Welcome back to Rapaport's Reality, the podcast where me
and Michael Rapport and my wife talk about all things
reality TV, all things popular culture, and some specific curated
gems from the comings and goings of our relationship, hence
the title Rapaport's Reality.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm Keevy Rappaport, you.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Pointed to yourself. I'm Michael Rappaport, and we are recording
this way past our bedtime. Full transparency. It is six
oh seven pm Eastern Standard Time. Normally we record the
podcast in the dead of the afternoon. Some people might
be going, oh my crap, it is sort of the afternoon. No,
for us, this is this.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Is wine down time normally if we're home, this is
like I'm like cleaning up, you know how you like
get the house up before you go into the bedroom,
wash your face, you know, brush your teeth, put the
jammi's on. We're approaching that hour.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah. Very busy day to day, very busy day to
day for me. I had two meetings and if I
have to go outside, if I leave, if I leave
it for me said that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
With such a sincere worn out look on your face,
like I'm exhausted. I was one day, you had like
what five meetings, and that I met you for dinner
and you had a whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I was unprecedented.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That was like, you did so good because I know
that you talked all day and then we were meeting
people for dinner that we didn't really know that we
don't I didn't know them at all, but you know them,
but not that well. You know, you kind of have
to be a little on yo.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And two today, if I go out of the house
for more than two hours at a time, also it's
not so much if I leave the house for two
hours at a time. If I leave our block, that
adds extra like stress, extra energy and all that stuff.
And I was way downtown on Canal Street for my
first meeting, and then I had lunch, and then I
(02:08):
had another meeting, and I was a meeting and greeting
a lot of people throughout these two meetings. Hence the
reason why we are recording this way past our bedtime
or no way past our normal recording time at six
now at six nine pm six nine pm Eastern Standard. Nonetheless,
(02:28):
rapaports reality. There's a lot to discuss. We had a
bunch of things we were gonna discuss but we have
to talk about the two crazy setting losses in the
popular culture world. First, the loss of everybody's favorite son
if you grew up in the eighties, Malcolm Jamal Warner
(02:49):
passed away a couple of days ago in a tragic
drowning accident. Apparently he was with his family in Costa
Rica and got caught up in a terrible, terrible situation
and drowned at fifty four years old.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Unimaginable. I mean, truly, truly unimaginable. You know, I was
thinking about him and for every little black girl of
the age that saw him on TV. That was my boyfriend.
At one point was that my sister had a poster
of him and her in her on her side of
the bedroom. I think yesterday it's why I was moving
(03:27):
very slow. I was like in shock.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's crazy. And you know, if you did grow up
watching that show and you are of a certain age,
thirty million people a week back then, thirty million people
a week watched The Cosm Show, like at the time
network television was king going viral. Was eight eight thirty
Thursday Night, The Cosmi Show, you know, and that was
(03:55):
a humongous show, obviously a breakthrough show that of course
is marred and controversy because of all things Bill Cosby related.
But Malcolm Jamal Warner. It's crazy when somebody passes, even
somebody that you might not see that often. Obviously the
Cosby Show is from the eighties, but he and what
he did and who he represented as a person on
(04:16):
the show and who he represented afterwards, and the way
he carried himself really really meant a lot and means
a lot to a lot of peoples. It sucks. It
sucks when actors, celebrities sort of get their quote unquote
flowers get their come up, ins get their do when
(04:36):
they pass. And that seems to be the case with
Malcolm Jamal Warner because he worked consistently throughout his adult life,
but he never had that monumental breakthrough thing again, which
sucks and must have been frustrating to him as an
artist and as a performer and somebody who's so recognizable
as an actor.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
But as a musician, he was very, very accomplished musician
and Edwardsmith you know his poetry is spoken word.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He was such a gifted, lovely, kind soul.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I first met him when he was at the
height of the Cosby Show in a club in New
York call the Latin Quarters. The Latin Quarters was one
of the first hip hop clubs where you would go
to these. I mean the Latin Quarters was around obviously
before the eighties. It was like, you know, where you
would go see jazz artists, and then the seventies, like
(05:31):
you'd go see Lou Reed and you know, it was
like a club in times guard. I believe Latin Quarters
is still there, but on Fridays and Saturday nights or
just Saturdays or just Fridays, I can't remember. I think
it was Saturday nights. Latin Quarters in the eighties we're
talking about eighty six, eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine
was a hip hop must go to spot. And it
(05:54):
was crazy because you'd be in Latin Quarters and not
only would you be walking around and you would see
Run from Run DMC, or J from jam Master J
from run DMC, or Salt and Pepper. There's no bodyguards
or ll Cool J with no bodyguards. There was no
velvet rope, there was no VIP line. I don't know
if those things existed in discoser clubs at that time,
(06:16):
but I would see Malcolm Jamal Warner there all the time,
and this is when he was THEO. Yeah, And like
I said, you'd be in the club and you'd see
Salt and from Salt and Pepper when you'd be going
to get like for me, when you're going to get
a coke from the bar, or you'd see Big Daddy
Kane or Bismarcky or I mean, you know Chuck d
from Public Enemy. This is when they were famous. And
(06:38):
I remember distinctly numerous times seeing Malcolm Jamal Warner, who
was the same age as me, in there all the time.
And then when I became an actor, you know, and
met him again in that carnation of my life. You know,
he didn't remember meeting me at the club, but he
certainly remembered, you know, being at the clubs and seeing
that he was a hip hop head and a hip
(07:00):
and represented himself with such class and such he carried
the weight of being THEO Huxtable and I think he
understood what that meant to people and who he was
as a person, and I think that informed who he
became as a as an adult. And we actually had
a dinner with him at house not too long ago,
(07:21):
maybe five years ago, six years ago, and I remember
talking about that then and just I worked with him
on that show White Famous, and he just was always
classy and beloved by everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, he's so lovable. He's so kind, like the type
of person that when you're talking to him, you can
meet him for the first time, he's looking you directly
in the ai. He's so calm, he's giving you like
he just was such a mention in such a powerhouse
of a human being, I would say.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And what you say, like somebody an older spirit, Yes, such.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
An old soul. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, he felt like that. So tragic loss, devastating
for obviously for his family and his friends, which he
must have had a so many friends, being in the
business and being Malcolm Jamaal Warner for so many years
and meaning so much to so many people in show business.
In hip hop. I see so many people, you know
from hip hop, some of the people I just mentioned,
(08:14):
you know who have posted and said, you know, I
met him in eighty eight. I met him in eighty
seven and we remain friends. And you know, like I said,
you know, when I was around, he was always classy, cool,
humble and just a nice person, like a nice decent person.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Descent, really decent, really result of the type of person.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, and really really sad the loss and the passing
of Malcolm Jamo Warner and then right before we recorded
this podcast, another sad loss obviously in the music world.
But this is Rapaport's reality. Ozzy Osbourne, who needs no
introduction none. Yeah, even if you've never heard an Ozzy
(08:51):
Osbourne Black Sabbath song, everybody knew knows about Ozzy Osbourne
is before you even saw him on TV. Like I
remember as a kid hearing about Ozzy Osbourne and the
name did you hear?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Did you hear? Because before I even knew Black Sabbath
any song from them. What you're going to say, the
urban legend of him biting off a pigeon's head.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Right, that's what he was. And when you were a
kid and you hear about a guy and you'd see
a picture with the black makeup and the crazy hair,
and all you see is pictures. This is pre MTV,
and you hear about, oh, he ate a pigeon's head
on stage, and you know it wasn't a pigeon, it
was a bat. It wasn't a bat. It was a
rat and you'd be like, who the fuck, what the fuck?
(09:38):
I don't like this?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeseenth a scary movie. Yeah, you know, think about his career,
how controversial a lot of those heavy metal stars were,
with the you know, a legend satanic worshiping, or the
eating of the bat's head, or the makeup and the
sex and the drugs and the rock and roll. But
I feel like his true claim to fame in my
(10:04):
eyes is his family life. You know, they have not
just Kelly and Jack, but there's three other kids that
they had that did chose not to be on their
reality show, The Osborne's. And the fact that a man
like that, who proposedly one point eight pigeons head on stage,
was able to keep a family together like he did
with Sharon and I think there's a legacy.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
One of the things why his show was so successful,
because although he seemed wacky, he seemed totally lovable, totally sweet.
And the fact that family did come first them clearly
obviously when you hear Sharon and you heard them talk
about their marriage. It wasn't an easy marriage, but at
the end of the day, it was all about being married.
(10:46):
His loving adored his wife, yes, and obviously she adored
him and the kids and all that stuff. And as
far as a reality TV show, we're talking about the
Mount Rushmore of reality TV shows. This is before the
Kardashians and Sharon Osborne apparently was the mastermind.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Here was the Chris Jenner, before the Chris.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Jenner negotiating crazy contracts and everybody was like, what is
this shit in This is when reality TV it was
looked upon so negatively. It's crazy that it was like shunned.
It's still shunned in a way, but you know, I
think I feel like the more and more we move
forward in popular culture, more and more we move forward
in this incredible golden era of reality TV, it's less
(11:26):
and less shunned. I mean, you have arguably one of
the greatest actors of his generation, despite his controversy, Alec Baldwin,
just did a reality TV show. Of course, people are
chomping at the bit.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I feel like you're pitching it to us.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Feel like if people are chomping at the bit to
see me on season four of the upcoming season of Traders,
which I obviously can't talk about. I have signed my
life away and why would I share or why would
I try to ruin it for any one of the
viewers listeners of the Iron rap pers nothing. And let
me tell you something, Trader Season four is going to
(11:59):
be fantastic. But in a long legacy of reality TV shows,
everything that we got on now and I mean every
single channel, network, streaming, cable, sub cable, TLC stations, I
never heard of Zeus online. There is reality TV all
over the place. And just like hip hop the Great
(12:20):
Biggie Small sit I never thought that hip hop would
take it this far. I never thought that reality TV
would take it this far. You never thought that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No, I say it all the time. It was really shunned.
And when it came about really heavy was during that
actor strike I don't know, I won't want to say
in ninety I don't even know when, but all the
actors were like, oh, hell no, you were going to
make this a thing. Yeah, it won't last, it'll last
the weeks of the strike. And that's it. And here
(12:49):
we are.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And Love Island. I was just talking to somebody about
Love Island. The ratings of Love Island this summer on
Peacock Streaming were so over the top good because not
only is it a phenomenon, but also they had the
advantage of five nights a week. We're talking about like
this turns into must watch TV. And the people that
I was talking about, I was just talking to my
(13:21):
agents and they were like, I went on vacation with
my wife and then when we came back, my wife
was blocked, locked, stock and barrel, catching up right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I mean, people, when everyone watches it, when fucking.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Crazy for it, and people are We're not the only
ones who have mixed feelings about Love Island. Okay, other
people feel the same way about the sexuality, and it's
but you you can't take your eyes off it. You
can't take your eyes off it, and the ratings prove it.
But to bring us back to the green, I have
a question.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Why would the ratings be so high when something's on
every night.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Because if you're watching them, they keep watching. The people
feel like you can't miss it. So if you're in it,
you're in it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's interesting, it's.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Crazy, it's it's like once you're in it, people are like,
I can't miss another episode. So normally with reality shows,
especially the reality shows that we like, it's once a week.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, I know, But what I'm saying to me, we
got burnout on it. We're laying there one eye open,
trying to hang on to watch that ship.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Is a huge I think it's the biggest most watched,
particularly this season, and match what next season is gonna be.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
That's incredible, crazy, right, that's incredible. Now the spinoff that
they're trying to do after the Villa, I don't know.
Do you know about the ratings for that?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I don't know about After the Villa, which is the
spinoff of last year's crew Group of Love Island. I personally, again,
you know, as much as we want to consume everything,
there's only so many hours in the day. And listen,
we'll go to the bottom, bottom, bottom, and we'll go
to the top, top, top, And I'm not going to
(15:02):
say what I think the bottom, botto bottom is, but
of course the top, tip top is what we're watching,
what we're witnessing week after week. Realize wise, in Miami,
this is high end ars.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Creme de la creme. It really is. You know what,
if somebody really asked me to tell you why I
feel that way, I don't know where to start, because it's.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Give me if somebody needs.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Right, If you're a fan of the Housewives franchise, you
know exactly what I'm talking about. It's like got that
special something. Yeah, it's got Miami itself is a character,
and the clothes and the women and I don't know them.
(15:46):
And the humor. I mean, this last scandal, this last
couple episodes, you know, with the fight with Gertie. I
didn't like it, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
But it even had a drink being thrown it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Did, you know? And this is a without like the vicious.
I mean, there's true anger there, but it's almost like
like you know, poppy bubblegum anger, you know what I mean.
It's not this like vengeance. You know these shows and
when we talk about they get really toxic. Yes, like
what happened to the reboot of New York where it
gets dark, Like, yes, this is like you're Matt, you said,
(16:18):
I left my wife when she was cancer to get
a facelift, even though that's like, dang she did. That's dark,
but she was getting a facelift, you know what I
mean By the levity of that, like the facelif part.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So I don't there's.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Still these women are still giving what the Housewives franchise,
I think originally intended to give, which is to see
women that you want to be friends with, maybe see
them once a month. Fish, but that you girls that
you'd like to like, maybe have a dinner with once
a month. Yes, for the entertainment, I mean these are
(16:52):
iconic type of chicks.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yes, whether they were.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
On TV or not. If you just knew you know
Larsa or the chick the New Stephanie, if you just
knew her in life, she would be iconic in your life.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
If you're in a mall in Miami or in a restaurant,
you'd be like, who is that? Yeah, Like they're just
captivating going on there? Yeah, what's your deal? Anyway? The
passing of the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, all his music, what
he meant to his family, what he meant to so many,
so many fans. I mean, we told about worldwide fame
(17:26):
and a ridiculous iconic performer, ridiculous iconic a musician, ridiculous
iconic reality TV show dad. The passing of the Great
Ozzy Osbourne has happened, and we are sending love thoughts
to him and his family and may his memory always
(17:48):
be a blessing, which I know it will be. Another
piece of information hot. First of all, Sheena See, Oh Sheena,
Sheena Se. Let me tell you something. We always root
for you, Sheena Se love you.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Sheena Shae.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Talk about somebody who put it all on the line
for year after year, and we literally watched go from
a twenty something to a young woman and she bumps bruises.
And when I make the analogy of reality TV stars
being like fighters, she completely completely epitomizes that Sheena See
(18:32):
went from being mocked, went from doing the mocking, went
from being cheated on, went to cheating. She was the
brunt of jokes. She was the joke giver, She was
the shit talker and being talked about. Sheena she all
time yes on Vanderpump Rules. She put it down.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Good as gold. She did good as gold, good and
a class act. Because she just sent her new book
to us and she wrote a very sweet card. I'm
sure she had someone to write it. No, it's it's
is it her writing?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah? I mean it's somebody wrote it in handwriting, but.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
They included me, and I think she included me.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And she Ena See has always been super duper sweet.
And the last time I saw Sena, I was doing
watch what happens live and they do this thing where
those surprise guests and she Ena Shee came in and I,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I could not stop laughing your genuine shock and surprise.
Although I'm not sure why because any one of your
favorite people could come out that door, but you literally
look like it was for you and you were so happy.
It was so adorable.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Because I really do genuinely like her when I've been
around her.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, she's really great.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
She's just sweet. Ye, she's nice. I feel like she's
well intentioned. Yeah, she has her book, and you know what,
I'm gonna reach out to Sheen and be like, Yoshina,
I want you to come on the pockets because she
is doing a full, full tour right now. She's doing
a full promo tour for her new book, and she
na see in her new book. This just came out.
She talked about some of the people she's been with,
(20:02):
the men she has been with. Let me read this
list to you, Jesse Metcalf, the actor Eddie Ciprion, which
this was this is a whole thing with Eddie Ciprion,
John Mayer. I knew that one she talked about this.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
She talked about that she talks about this.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
She puts us in her book, Shamar Moore.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
That one's surprising, but I mean, I'm not surprised. He's
been with a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Josh Hopkins, the I think it's another actor, Shane West,
who I don't know who.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I don't know who that is, Shane.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
West, the writer, I'm not sure. Jesse McCartney, j C
from the boy band chazz Is he's he's not new
kids on the bock because he's back. She was, he's
new kids on the block. J C from one of
those bands, sorry JC. Adrian Grenere from Entoige.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think she's got a type. No, a dark, dark
haired guy like they all kind of dark.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And John Mayor, Adrian Greneer, Ricardovera William Tell. She said,
two actors from the Notebook too. Now, I don't know
who else is in the Notebook off the top of
my head besides Ryan Gosling, I don't know. Uh. And
then she said a few NFL, NBA, and Major League
Baseball players to name a few.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
She did all the major sports.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And she said, and that's not none of that worked
out really well. And then she went on to talk about, uh,
you know, her marriage and settling down and all that stuff.
But I was like, that is it? That ain't a
bad list, Like if you're an older woman, an adult woman.
She's not older, she's young, but adult woman. You look back,
I was a little you know, I had a good time.
That's a good time. Yeah, that's something to write about.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You know. You see me just being quiet because you're
my husband. Just this subject is like, okay, next do
you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, okay, yes,
go girl, What am I supposed say? I don't know
what you want me to say to that. I think
it's pretty bold that she's putting the names out there.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I want to put the NFL.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I well, I was gonna ask you. I wonder if
she called those people or maybe she stays in touch
with them and there's a lot of people and that
that name was going to be out.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I don't know. I mean John Mayer. I feel like
every girl has been with John.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That's one of like ten names you just read.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, I don't know who Ricardo Shavira is. I think
he's an actor. Also, Nonetheless, she niche we always rock
with you, We always want nothing but good things for you.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I'm going to bring that book with me when we
go to LA. I'm going to read it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
We're going to be in LA. We're going to be
in LA, will be staying and not too far from
the old stomping grounds of pump Rules. Yeah, and the
old stomping ground. What was the other? Uh, pump rules?
And come on, not pump rule pump rules Vander? What
was the name of the original?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Are we that I don't remember?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
My wait, pump rules?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Pump Rules? Was that?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I know that something about her sandwich.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Place, something about her still popping.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I believe it is.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh, we need to one hundred and fifty percent finally
make our pilgrimage to something about her. Sheena set, in
my opinion, has been underused in season two of The Valley.
(23:17):
Where are they insert them?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Because however, I was reading an article in a publication
that I won't share to mention because I don't like
the publication, but I do say they do good articles
that they were talking about the brilliance and the shock
value of Jack's and Britney's relationship playing out on TV.
Jax Taylor another talk about a fighter, love him, hate him?
(23:44):
Talk about a guy who's laid it all on the
line whether you like it or not, and I know
the majority of people don't like it. This fucking guy.
And I wish this guy nothing but the best, because
I get worried watching this guy. He makes me nervous. Yeah,
he makes me nervous for his own sake and for
the people around him sake. He's not coming back for
season three of the hit show. The Valley's a hit show,
(24:04):
despite the fact that people are saying that it's the
most toxic reality.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
To everyone has said that ever, we said it, and yes,
people are agreeing that that show is dark. I find it.
We were going to walk away from it. Remember we
were like, this is this is too much real life?
And the other night when we were watching it, you
were like, this makes me uncomfortable. You say that a
lot during this show.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He makes me. He concerns me.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I think that also. Jesse and Michelle's relationship, you say
it during the air that relationship either, I think you
say it during the other Danny and uh, yes, yeah,
so yeah, there's a lot of relationship sort of it's
very adult, adult sad stuff that seems like it's okay
because they're on TV. But in real life, if you're
(24:50):
really really dealing with it could get really, really, really awful.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And one of the things that I do think about
when I'm watching it is that despite the fact that
they are showing a darker side to their relationships, at
least they're all getting paid. There's like, you know, Jackson,
Brittany's getting paid, Danny and his wife are getting paid,
you know, so for them it's like, Okay, this is
a good job. I saw Nick Viali, who I really like.
I love his podcast, Nick Viali, who of course was
(25:16):
on The Bachelor, right he's got his pocket. He said, well,
everybody on the valley is losers and I was like, oh,
he did, yeah, and he said it out loud and
he said it. I think he was on Serious XM.
And I was like, you know, I don't like that term. No,
I don't like calling adults losers. I don't think they
are losers. They might be flawed, they might be imperfect,
(25:37):
but I was like, they're not losers. They're people, you know,
and they're struggling. And despite the fact that what you
think of this one or what you think of that one,
it's like there's something that you have to respect as
a fan of the medium of reality TV that they're
they're putting it out there.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, I agree with you. I think calling them losers
is not not many people are losers. I mean even
I know some related to some and you know, and
there no person is really a real loser if they're trying.
And I think these people are sharing parts of their
real life that and it's really courageous. So I don't
(26:15):
see how he could call them losers.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Especially because he's so much in the world of it.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it's interesting that he's saying that. It seems really
really pretty judgmental.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think, yeah, yeah, But nonetheless, Sheena, she put out
her hit list. And another person who has an incredible
list Pistol Pete Davidson.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I mean I have celebrated this man. I've broken his chops,
but it's always been in good fun. Pistol Pete Davidson
is expecting his first child with his new model girlfriend.
And you want to talk about a list. Somebody sent
me this list.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Somebody sent you a list.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Because I called him one of the great cocksmen stick
his eat, great cocksmen of his era, arguably the greatest
stick man slash cocksman of his generation. That's TVD that's
to be determined. But this guy has done it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I mean maybe that's why partially he has to check
himself in for these extended stays and at a health yes,
because he needs to take a break.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Ariana Grande, Kate beckinsal Madeline Klein, the model Phoebe, some
other model Olivia, some other model Kaya Gerber, the actress
Emily Rodakowski, and the other model Chase Sue Wonders. And
these are the ones we know about.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Hello, you're forgetting our favorite.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Hello reality TV. That's that listen I just mentioned forgets
the favorite.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Post Kanye Wow, an incredible kind, I mean post Kanye
during Kanye, he had to deal with him. I mean
that should give him ten more points.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Somebody said, does he make it into the Stickman Hall
of Fame? And I said, yes, he will make it
into the Stickman Hall of Fame when the induction takes place.
Somebody said, uh, does he get a building named after him?
I said no, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I hope he doesn't make it into the Stickman Hall
of him. I hope he goes on. It's a blessing
that he's having a child. He's been troubled for a
lot of his life, and he's been very, very blessed
in taking care of people who know that him, love
him deeply, yes, and look out for him. And I
think this is a changing season for his life, and
I'm wishing that he stays out of your Stickman Hall
of Fame's.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Never if that's said up many.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
You just named a few girls that I don't even
know who these people are. I mean, Kim Kardashian is
the number one. I don't. I don't know why he
would make it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Sorry, he's not like Jack singing songs about him. Oh right,
It's not about the numbers. It's not about it's a quality.
It's a quality and right because he did it with class,
like despite the first that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Nobody's shaming him and dragging him through the mud, and.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
He's har for love. I feel like Pete Davidson really,
I wish him the best because the times that I've read,
I met him and spoken to him couldn't be sweeter.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
He's like a great dame to me, very sweet, lovable,
big great dame.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And he will definitely be in the stick Man Hall
of Fame, whether or not he makes and gets and
earns a wing or a building after him, No, just
a recap. The only person that has a building named
after him is of course the great Warren Baby. And
then of course there's the Jack Nicholson Auditorium in the
Stickman Hall of Fame. And of course we are building
(29:29):
currently the Leonardo DiCaprio Wing in the Stickman Hall of Fame.
Other than that, you know, just give away buildings. But
kudos to Pete Davidson and his girlfriend and we wish
him nothing but the best. Always pistol Pete Davidson, who
might be off the streets for good. The other thing
that I wanted to ask you about, Babe, hot couple
(29:51):
alert because it's a summer.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's a sign you're gonna talk about. And this is
my favorite subject. Current favorite subject.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Clay Thompson, one of my favorite basketball players of the
modern era, who is now with the Dallas Mavericks, who
gave me joy. Yeah, as a Golden State Warrior, the
best and Megan does Stallion have went public. They are
(30:18):
taking photos together.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Working out together. I mean the video of them working
out together. I think I watched it seven times, literally
started it over because she does this cute little voiceover
of it, and then he's like lifting her up and
he's touching her butt and she's like, Oh, she's so
funny and so cute. This is the couple of the
year that we didn't know we needed.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
And I'm gonna tell you something. I know you probably
don't know that much about Klay Thompson's persona. It's hard
to get five words out of him his social media.
He's never done a video like that.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
That's like crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
He's on the down low. Kay Thompson, in case you
guys don't know, his father was a professional basketball player,
Klay Thompson. If you've ever seen interviews with him as
a basketball player, it's literally like hard to get him
to speak. He's introverted. He seems like he's extremely shy. He's,
you know, kind of quirky for a basketball player, especially
like a swaggy basketball player. Like when he was in
(31:17):
San Francisco, he would ride a boat to I don't
know the geography of San Francisco, Oakland, but he would
he would ride his own boat across the bay.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Amazing, and uh.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
You know, he just was such a great player. But
but I mean so fucking quiet and so like you know,
shy Steph Curry, you know, is comfortable being Steph Curry's funny,
got a such humor and he's not on full blest.
But Klay Thompson be like the guy at at the
press conference. He'd score fifty points and be like, how'd
you feel, claims like, you know, I felt good, very
about his business, completely understated. So for him to be
(31:49):
on social media doing a funny video, he must really
be in love. And Megan the Stallion everybody nothingbody's got
nothing to say as.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Bad about her. She's so lovely. I love her so much.
He's funny, witty, strong, beautiful, He's gorgeous. I just love
this for them me too.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I love it for both of them. And you know,
ma'ma call him Clay. I'm gonna call him Clay. And
obviously it's early in the relationship and they are young,
they're famous and all that stuff. But I could see
this working out.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yes, I could see it working out.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Clay Thompson is about his shit, and Klay Thompson is
He's not one of those guys who you ever hear
anything bad about. I don't know, you know, what he
did in his private life before you know Magan the Stallion,
but the fact that he's public with her now, I think.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
They're a perfect match, to be honest, now that you're
telling me about him, she's just as unique.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, and Clay's coming to the last few years of
his NBA career because Klay Thompson has been in the
league for a long time. And like I said, that
fucking guy gave me joy with the Golden State Warriors.
I mean sincere joy, I know I was there anyway,
Rappaport's reality. What else can I say? It's time to
(32:59):
go to bed.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
This is gonna be something first. I made something you
have leftovers from last night if you're hungry.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Fantastic. What are they?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
It's like a little chickpea pasta with ground turkey. You know,
ground turkey, but chickpea pasta.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Like, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Chickpen It's made out of chickpias pasta. It's pasta. It's
shape like pasta, but it's made from chickpeas. You've had it.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Before, Mama corn pasta. A'm com pasta chickpea pasta. I'll
take what, listen, I'll take whatever you're throwing for my
wife Kibi. She'll go, what do you think? Or what
do you? And I go, what do I want to eat? Whatever?
Whatever's thrown in front of me. The three cook, but
(33:44):
you're just like should gets its kudos. We're gonna do
a fucking dinner party. We're gonna find like the four
biggest fans of Rappa Ports Reality and have them come
over and let Kibi cook. I'm not saying you're like, uh,
you know, I'm not a no no, but you're as
far as somebody who could throw down at home.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I can make something happen in the kitchen, for.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Sure, Kibi makes shit.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
But also you didn't grow up eating like that. Yeah,
so like I could throw anything literally from the kitchen
to the couch into your mouth and you eat it.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
That's one hundred percent true. But I get way better
food than I grew up with a single dad in York. Anyway,
I don't need to deep dive into that. What I
would like you guys to do is to make sure
you tell a friend to telling friend about rap Aports
Reality because we love doing the podcast. Subscribe rating review
absolutely helps, and make sure make sure you follow us
(34:38):
on Instagram at rap aports reality. We are done. I
can't wait to have these leftovers and then go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Love you, baby, Love you babe.
Hello, Welcome back to Rapaport's Reality, the podcast where me
and Michael Rapport and my wife talk about all things
reality TV, all things popular culture, and some specific curated
gems from the comings and goings of our relationship, hence
the title Rapaport's Reality.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm Keevy Rappaport, you.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Pointed to yourself. I'm Michael Rappaport, and we are recording
this way past our bedtime. Full transparency. It is six
oh seven pm Eastern Standard Time. Normally we record the
podcast in the dead of the afternoon. Some people might
be going, oh my crap, it is sort of the afternoon. No,
for us, this is this.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Is wine down time normally if we're home, this is
like I'm like cleaning up, you know how you like
get the house up before you go into the bedroom,
wash your face, you know, brush your teeth, put the
jammi's on. We're approaching that hour.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah. Very busy day to day, very busy day to
day for me. I had two meetings and if I
have to go outside, if I leave, if I leave
it for me said that.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
With such a sincere worn out look on your face,
like I'm exhausted. I was one day, you had like
what five meetings, and that I met you for dinner
and you had a whole time.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I was unprecedented.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That was like, you did so good because I know
that you talked all day and then we were meeting
people for dinner that we didn't really know that we
don't I didn't know them at all, but you know them,
but not that well. You know, you kind of have
to be a little on yo.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And two today, if I go out of the house
for more than two hours at a time, also it's
not so much if I leave the house for two
hours at a time. If I leave our block, that
adds extra like stress, extra energy and all that stuff.
And I was way downtown on Canal Street for my
first meeting, and then I had lunch, and then I
(02:08):
had another meeting, and I was a meeting and greeting
a lot of people throughout these two meetings. Hence the
reason why we are recording this way past our bedtime
or no way past our normal recording time at six
now at six nine pm six nine pm Eastern Standard. Nonetheless,
(02:28):
rapaports reality. There's a lot to discuss. We had a
bunch of things we were gonna discuss but we have
to talk about the two crazy setting losses in the
popular culture world. First, the loss of everybody's favorite son
if you grew up in the eighties, Malcolm Jamal Warner
(02:49):
passed away a couple of days ago in a tragic
drowning accident. Apparently he was with his family in Costa
Rica and got caught up in a terrible, terrible situation
and drowned at fifty four years old.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Unimaginable. I mean, truly, truly unimaginable. You know, I was
thinking about him and for every little black girl of
the age that saw him on TV. That was my boyfriend.
At one point was that my sister had a poster
of him and her in her on her side of
the bedroom. I think yesterday it's why I was moving
(03:27):
very slow. I was like in shock.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's crazy. And you know, if you did grow up
watching that show and you are of a certain age,
thirty million people a week back then, thirty million people
a week watched The Cosm Show, like at the time
network television was king going viral. Was eight eight thirty
Thursday Night, The Cosmi Show, you know, and that was
(03:55):
a humongous show, obviously a breakthrough show that of course
is marred and controversy because of all things Bill Cosby related.
But Malcolm Jamal Warner. It's crazy when somebody passes, even
somebody that you might not see that often. Obviously the
Cosby Show is from the eighties, but he and what
he did and who he represented as a person on
(04:16):
the show and who he represented afterwards, and the way
he carried himself really really meant a lot and means
a lot to a lot of peoples. It sucks. It
sucks when actors, celebrities sort of get their quote unquote
flowers get their come up, ins get their do when
(04:36):
they pass. And that seems to be the case with
Malcolm Jamal Warner because he worked consistently throughout his adult life,
but he never had that monumental breakthrough thing again, which
sucks and must have been frustrating to him as an
artist and as a performer and somebody who's so recognizable
as an actor.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
But as a musician, he was very, very accomplished musician
and Edwardsmith you know his poetry is spoken word.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
He was such a gifted, lovely, kind soul.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I first met him when he was at the
height of the Cosby Show in a club in New
York call the Latin Quarters. The Latin Quarters was one
of the first hip hop clubs where you would go
to these. I mean the Latin Quarters was around obviously
before the eighties. It was like, you know, where you
would go see jazz artists, and then the seventies, like
(05:31):
you'd go see Lou Reed and you know, it was
like a club in times guard. I believe Latin Quarters
is still there, but on Fridays and Saturday nights or
just Saturdays or just Fridays, I can't remember. I think
it was Saturday nights. Latin Quarters in the eighties we're
talking about eighty six, eighty seven, eighty eight, eighty nine
was a hip hop must go to spot. And it
(05:54):
was crazy because you'd be in Latin Quarters and not
only would you be walking around and you would see
Run from Run DMC, or J from jam Master J
from run DMC, or Salt and Pepper. There's no bodyguards
or ll Cool J with no bodyguards. There was no
velvet rope, there was no VIP line. I don't know
if those things existed in discoser clubs at that time,
(06:16):
but I would see Malcolm Jamal Warner there all the time,
and this is when he was THEO. Yeah, And like
I said, you'd be in the club and you'd see
Salt and from Salt and Pepper when you'd be going
to get like for me, when you're going to get
a coke from the bar, or you'd see Big Daddy
Kane or Bismarcky or I mean, you know Chuck d
from Public Enemy. This is when they were famous. And
(06:38):
I remember distinctly numerous times seeing Malcolm Jamal Warner, who
was the same age as me, in there all the time.
And then when I became an actor, you know, and
met him again in that carnation of my life. You know,
he didn't remember meeting me at the club, but he
certainly remembered, you know, being at the clubs and seeing
that he was a hip hop head and a hip
(07:00):
and represented himself with such class and such he carried
the weight of being THEO Huxtable and I think he
understood what that meant to people and who he was
as a person, and I think that informed who he
became as a as an adult. And we actually had
a dinner with him at house not too long ago,
(07:21):
maybe five years ago, six years ago, and I remember
talking about that then and just I worked with him
on that show White Famous, and he just was always
classy and beloved by everybody.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Oh, he's so lovable. He's so kind, like the type
of person that when you're talking to him, you can
meet him for the first time, he's looking you directly
in the ai. He's so calm, he's giving you like
he just was such a mention in such a powerhouse
of a human being, I would say.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And what you say, like somebody an older spirit, Yes, such.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
An old soul. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, yeah, he felt like that. So tragic loss, devastating
for obviously for his family and his friends, which he
must have had a so many friends, being in the
business and being Malcolm Jamaal Warner for so many years
and meaning so much to so many people in show business.
In hip hop. I see so many people, you know
from hip hop, some of the people I just mentioned,
(08:14):
you know who have posted and said, you know, I
met him in eighty eight. I met him in eighty
seven and we remain friends. And you know, like I said,
you know, when I was around, he was always classy, cool,
humble and just a nice person, like a nice decent person.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Descent, really decent, really result of the type of person.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, and really really sad the loss and the passing
of Malcolm Jamo Warner and then right before we recorded
this podcast, another sad loss obviously in the music world.
But this is Rapaport's reality. Ozzy Osbourne, who needs no
introduction none. Yeah, even if you've never heard an Ozzy
(08:51):
Osbourne Black Sabbath song, everybody knew knows about Ozzy Osbourne
is before you even saw him on TV. Like I
remember as a kid hearing about Ozzy Osbourne and the
name did you hear?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Did you hear? Because before I even knew Black Sabbath
any song from them. What you're going to say, the
urban legend of him biting off a pigeon's head.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Right, that's what he was. And when you were a
kid and you hear about a guy and you'd see
a picture with the black makeup and the crazy hair,
and all you see is pictures. This is pre MTV,
and you hear about, oh, he ate a pigeon's head
on stage, and you know it wasn't a pigeon, it
was a bat. It wasn't a bat. It was a
rat and you'd be like, who the fuck, what the fuck?
(09:38):
I don't like this?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeseenth a scary movie. Yeah, you know, think about his career,
how controversial a lot of those heavy metal stars were,
with the you know, a legend satanic worshiping, or the
eating of the bat's head, or the makeup and the
sex and the drugs and the rock and roll. But
I feel like his true claim to fame in my
(10:04):
eyes is his family life. You know, they have not
just Kelly and Jack, but there's three other kids that
they had that did chose not to be on their
reality show, The Osborne's. And the fact that a man
like that, who proposedly one point eight pigeons head on stage,
was able to keep a family together like he did
with Sharon and I think there's a legacy.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
One of the things why his show was so successful,
because although he seemed wacky, he seemed totally lovable, totally sweet.
And the fact that family did come first them clearly
obviously when you hear Sharon and you heard them talk
about their marriage. It wasn't an easy marriage, but at
the end of the day, it was all about being married.
(10:46):
His loving adored his wife, yes, and obviously she adored
him and the kids and all that stuff. And as
far as a reality TV show, we're talking about the
Mount Rushmore of reality TV shows. This is before the
Kardashians and Sharon Osborne apparently was the mastermind.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Here was the Chris Jenner, before the Chris.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Jenner negotiating crazy contracts and everybody was like, what is
this shit in This is when reality TV it was
looked upon so negatively. It's crazy that it was like shunned.
It's still shunned in a way, but you know, I
think I feel like the more and more we move
forward in popular culture, more and more we move forward
in this incredible golden era of reality TV, it's less
(11:26):
and less shunned. I mean, you have arguably one of
the greatest actors of his generation, despite his controversy, Alec Baldwin,
just did a reality TV show. Of course, people are
chomping at the bit.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I feel like you're pitching it to us.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Feel like if people are chomping at the bit to
see me on season four of the upcoming season of Traders,
which I obviously can't talk about. I have signed my
life away and why would I share or why would
I try to ruin it for any one of the
viewers listeners of the Iron rap pers nothing. And let
me tell you something, Trader Season four is going to
(11:59):
be fantastic. But in a long legacy of reality TV shows,
everything that we got on now and I mean every
single channel, network, streaming, cable, sub cable, TLC stations, I
never heard of Zeus online. There is reality TV all
over the place. And just like hip hop the Great
(12:20):
Biggie Small sit I never thought that hip hop would
take it this far. I never thought that reality TV
would take it this far. You never thought that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No, I say it all the time. It was really shunned.
And when it came about really heavy was during that
actor strike I don't know, I won't want to say
in ninety I don't even know when, but all the
actors were like, oh, hell no, you were going to
make this a thing. Yeah, it won't last, it'll last
the weeks of the strike. And that's it. And here
(12:49):
we are.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And Love Island. I was just talking to somebody about
Love Island. The ratings of Love Island this summer on
Peacock Streaming were so over the top good because not
only is it a phenomenon, but also they had the
advantage of five nights a week. We're talking about like
this turns into must watch TV. And the people that
I was talking about, I was just talking to my
(13:21):
agents and they were like, I went on vacation with
my wife and then when we came back, my wife
was blocked, locked, stock and barrel, catching up right.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I mean, people, when everyone watches it, when fucking.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Crazy for it, and people are We're not the only
ones who have mixed feelings about Love Island. Okay, other
people feel the same way about the sexuality, and it's
but you you can't take your eyes off it. You
can't take your eyes off it, and the ratings prove it.
But to bring us back to the green, I have
a question.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Why would the ratings be so high when something's on
every night.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Because if you're watching them, they keep watching. The people
feel like you can't miss it. So if you're in it,
you're in it.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
It's interesting, it's.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Crazy, it's it's like once you're in it, people are like,
I can't miss another episode. So normally with reality shows,
especially the reality shows that we like, it's once a week.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, I know, But what I'm saying to me, we
got burnout on it. We're laying there one eye open,
trying to hang on to watch that ship.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Is a huge I think it's the biggest most watched,
particularly this season, and match what next season is gonna be.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
That's incredible, crazy, right, that's incredible. Now the spinoff that
they're trying to do after the Villa, I don't know.
Do you know about the ratings for that?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I don't know about After the Villa, which is the
spinoff of last year's crew Group of Love Island. I personally, again,
you know, as much as we want to consume everything,
there's only so many hours in the day. And listen,
we'll go to the bottom, bottom, bottom, and we'll go
to the top, top, top, And I'm not going to
(15:02):
say what I think the bottom, botto bottom is, but
of course the top, tip top is what we're watching,
what we're witnessing week after week. Realize wise, in Miami,
this is high end ars.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Creme de la creme. It really is. You know what,
if somebody really asked me to tell you why I
feel that way, I don't know where to start, because it's.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Give me if somebody needs.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Right, If you're a fan of the Housewives franchise, you
know exactly what I'm talking about. It's like got that
special something. Yeah, it's got Miami itself is a character,
and the clothes and the women and I don't know them.
(15:46):
And the humor. I mean, this last scandal, this last
couple episodes, you know, with the fight with Gertie. I
didn't like it, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
But it even had a drink being thrown it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Did, you know? And this is a without like the vicious.
I mean, there's true anger there, but it's almost like
like you know, poppy bubblegum anger, you know what I mean.
It's not this like vengeance. You know these shows and
when we talk about they get really toxic. Yes, like
what happened to the reboot of New York where it
gets dark, Like, yes, this is like you're Matt, you said,
(16:18):
I left my wife when she was cancer to get
a facelift, even though that's like, dang she did. That's dark,
but she was getting a facelift, you know what I
mean By the levity of that, like the facelif part.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
So I don't there's.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Still these women are still giving what the Housewives franchise,
I think originally intended to give, which is to see
women that you want to be friends with, maybe see
them once a month. Fish, but that you girls that
you'd like to like, maybe have a dinner with once
a month. Yes, for the entertainment, I mean these are
(16:52):
iconic type of chicks.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yes, whether they were.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
On TV or not. If you just knew you know
Larsa or the chick the New Stephanie, if you just
knew her in life, she would be iconic in your life.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
If you're in a mall in Miami or in a restaurant,
you'd be like, who is that? Yeah, Like they're just
captivating going on there? Yeah, what's your deal? Anyway? The
passing of the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, all his music, what
he meant to his family, what he meant to so many,
so many fans. I mean, we told about worldwide fame
(17:26):
and a ridiculous iconic performer, ridiculous iconic a musician, ridiculous
iconic reality TV show dad. The passing of the Great
Ozzy Osbourne has happened, and we are sending love thoughts
to him and his family and may his memory always
(17:48):
be a blessing, which I know it will be. Another
piece of information hot. First of all, Sheena See, Oh Sheena,
Sheena Se. Let me tell you something. We always root
for you, Sheena Se love you.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Sheena Shae.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Talk about somebody who put it all on the line
for year after year, and we literally watched go from
a twenty something to a young woman and she bumps bruises.
And when I make the analogy of reality TV stars
being like fighters, she completely completely epitomizes that Sheena See
(18:32):
went from being mocked, went from doing the mocking, went
from being cheated on, went to cheating. She was the
brunt of jokes. She was the joke giver, She was
the shit talker and being talked about. Sheena she all
time yes on Vanderpump Rules. She put it down.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Good as gold. She did good as gold, good and
a class act. Because she just sent her new book
to us and she wrote a very sweet card. I'm
sure she had someone to write it. No, it's it's
is it her writing?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah? I mean it's somebody wrote it in handwriting, but.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
They included me, and I think she included me.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And she Ena See has always been super duper sweet.
And the last time I saw Sena, I was doing
watch what happens live and they do this thing where
those surprise guests and she Ena Shee came in and I,
I mean.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I could not stop laughing your genuine shock and surprise.
Although I'm not sure why because any one of your
favorite people could come out that door, but you literally
look like it was for you and you were so happy.
It was so adorable.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Because I really do genuinely like her when I've been
around her.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, she's really great.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
She's just sweet. Ye, she's nice. I feel like she's
well intentioned. Yeah, she has her book, and you know what,
I'm gonna reach out to Sheen and be like, Yoshina,
I want you to come on the pockets because she
is doing a full, full tour right now. She's doing
a full promo tour for her new book, and she
na see in her new book. This just came out.
She talked about some of the people she's been with,
(20:02):
the men she has been with. Let me read this
list to you, Jesse Metcalf, the actor Eddie Ciprion, which
this was this is a whole thing with Eddie Ciprion,
John Mayer. I knew that one she talked about this.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
She talked about that she talks about this.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
She puts us in her book, Shamar Moore.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
That one's surprising, but I mean, I'm not surprised. He's
been with a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Josh Hopkins, the I think it's another actor, Shane West,
who I don't know who.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I don't know who that is, Shane.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
West, the writer, I'm not sure. Jesse McCartney, j C
from the boy band chazz Is he's he's not new
kids on the bock because he's back. She was, he's
new kids on the block. J C from one of
those bands, sorry JC. Adrian Grenere from Entoige.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think she's got a type. No, a dark, dark
haired guy like they all kind of dark.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And John Mayor, Adrian Greneer, Ricardovera William Tell. She said,
two actors from the Notebook too. Now, I don't know
who else is in the Notebook off the top of
my head besides Ryan Gosling, I don't know. Uh. And
then she said a few NFL, NBA, and Major League
Baseball players to name a few.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
She did all the major sports.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
And she said, and that's not none of that worked
out really well. And then she went on to talk about, uh,
you know, her marriage and settling down and all that stuff.
But I was like, that is it? That ain't a
bad list, Like if you're an older woman, an adult woman.
She's not older, she's young, but adult woman. You look back,
I was a little you know, I had a good time.
That's a good time. Yeah, that's something to write about.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
You know. You see me just being quiet because you're
my husband. Just this subject is like, okay, next do
you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, okay, yes,
go girl, What am I supposed say? I don't know
what you want me to say to that. I think
it's pretty bold that she's putting the names out there.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I want to put the NFL.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I well, I was gonna ask you. I wonder if
she called those people or maybe she stays in touch
with them and there's a lot of people and that
that name was going to be out.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I don't know. I mean John Mayer. I feel like
every girl has been with John.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
That's one of like ten names you just read.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, I don't know who Ricardo Shavira is. I think
he's an actor. Also, Nonetheless, she niche we always rock
with you, We always want nothing but good things for you.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I'm going to bring that book with me when we
go to LA. I'm going to read it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
We're going to be in LA. We're going to be
in LA, will be staying and not too far from
the old stomping grounds of pump Rules. Yeah, and the
old stomping ground. What was the other? Uh, pump rules?
And come on, not pump rule pump rules Vander? What
was the name of the original?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Are we that I don't remember?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
My wait, pump rules?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Pump Rules? Was that?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I know that something about her sandwich.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Place, something about her still popping.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I believe it is.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Oh, we need to one hundred and fifty percent finally
make our pilgrimage to something about her. Sheena set, in
my opinion, has been underused in season two of The Valley.
(23:17):
Where are they insert them?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Because however, I was reading an article in a publication
that I won't share to mention because I don't like
the publication, but I do say they do good articles
that they were talking about the brilliance and the shock
value of Jack's and Britney's relationship playing out on TV.
Jax Taylor another talk about a fighter, love him, hate him?
(23:44):
Talk about a guy who's laid it all on the
line whether you like it or not, and I know
the majority of people don't like it. This fucking guy.
And I wish this guy nothing but the best, because
I get worried watching this guy. He makes me nervous. Yeah,
he makes me nervous for his own sake and for
the people around him sake. He's not coming back for
season three of the hit show. The Valley's a hit show,
(24:04):
despite the fact that people are saying that it's the
most toxic reality.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
To everyone has said that ever, we said it, and yes,
people are agreeing that that show is dark. I find it.
We were going to walk away from it. Remember we
were like, this is this is too much real life?
And the other night when we were watching it, you
were like, this makes me uncomfortable. You say that a
lot during this show.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
He makes me. He concerns me.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I think that also. Jesse and Michelle's relationship, you say
it during the air that relationship either, I think you
say it during the other Danny and uh, yes, yeah,
so yeah, there's a lot of relationship sort of it's
very adult, adult sad stuff that seems like it's okay
because they're on TV. But in real life, if you're
(24:50):
really really dealing with it could get really, really, really awful.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
And one of the things that I do think about
when I'm watching it is that despite the fact that
they are showing a darker side to their relationships, at
least they're all getting paid. There's like, you know, Jackson,
Brittany's getting paid, Danny and his wife are getting paid,
you know, so for them it's like, Okay, this is
a good job. I saw Nick Viali, who I really like.
I love his podcast, Nick Viali, who of course was
(25:16):
on The Bachelor, right he's got his pocket. He said, well,
everybody on the valley is losers and I was like, oh,
he did, yeah, and he said it out loud and
he said it. I think he was on Serious XM.
And I was like, you know, I don't like that term. No,
I don't like calling adults losers. I don't think they
are losers. They might be flawed, they might be imperfect,
(25:37):
but I was like, they're not losers. They're people, you know,
and they're struggling. And despite the fact that what you
think of this one or what you think of that one,
it's like there's something that you have to respect as
a fan of the medium of reality TV that they're
they're putting it out there.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Yeah, I agree with you. I think calling them losers
is not not many people are losers. I mean even
I know some related to some and you know, and
there no person is really a real loser if they're trying.
And I think these people are sharing parts of their
real life that and it's really courageous. So I don't
(26:15):
see how he could call them losers.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Especially because he's so much in the world of it.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah, it's interesting that he's saying that. It seems really
really pretty judgmental.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I think, yeah, yeah, But nonetheless, Sheena, she put out
her hit list. And another person who has an incredible
list Pistol Pete Davidson.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh yeah, my goodness.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I mean I have celebrated this man. I've broken his chops,
but it's always been in good fun. Pistol Pete Davidson
is expecting his first child with his new model girlfriend.
And you want to talk about a list. Somebody sent
me this list.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Somebody sent you a list.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Because I called him one of the great cocksmen stick
his eat, great cocksmen of his era, arguably the greatest
stick man slash cocksman of his generation. That's TVD that's
to be determined. But this guy has done it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I mean maybe that's why partially he has to check
himself in for these extended stays and at a health yes,
because he needs to take a break.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Ariana Grande, Kate beckinsal Madeline Klein, the model Phoebe, some
other model Olivia, some other model Kaya Gerber, the actress
Emily Rodakowski, and the other model Chase Sue Wonders. And
these are the ones we know about.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Hello, you're forgetting our favorite.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Hello reality TV. That's that listen I just mentioned forgets
the favorite.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Post Kanye Wow, an incredible kind, I mean post Kanye
during Kanye, he had to deal with him. I mean
that should give him ten more points.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Somebody said, does he make it into the Stickman Hall
of Fame? And I said, yes, he will make it
into the Stickman Hall of Fame when the induction takes place.
Somebody said, uh, does he get a building named after him?
I said no, that's.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I hope he doesn't make it into the Stickman Hall
of him. I hope he goes on. It's a blessing
that he's having a child. He's been troubled for a
lot of his life, and he's been very, very blessed
in taking care of people who know that him, love
him deeply, yes, and look out for him. And I
think this is a changing season for his life, and
I'm wishing that he stays out of your Stickman Hall
of Fame's.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Never if that's said up many.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
You just named a few girls that I don't even
know who these people are. I mean, Kim Kardashian is
the number one. I don't. I don't know why he
would make it.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Sorry, he's not like Jack singing songs about him. Oh right,
It's not about the numbers. It's not about it's a quality.
It's a quality and right because he did it with class,
like despite the first that's right.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Nobody's shaming him and dragging him through the mud, and.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
He's har for love. I feel like Pete Davidson really,
I wish him the best because the times that I've read,
I met him and spoken to him couldn't be sweeter.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
He's like a great dame to me, very sweet, lovable,
big great dame.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
And he will definitely be in the stick Man Hall
of Fame, whether or not he makes and gets and
earns a wing or a building after him, No, just
a recap. The only person that has a building named
after him is of course the great Warren Baby. And
then of course there's the Jack Nicholson Auditorium in the
Stickman Hall of Fame. And of course we are building
(29:29):
currently the Leonardo DiCaprio Wing in the Stickman Hall of Fame.
Other than that, you know, just give away buildings. But
kudos to Pete Davidson and his girlfriend and we wish
him nothing but the best. Always pistol Pete Davidson, who
might be off the streets for good. The other thing
that I wanted to ask you about, Babe, hot couple
(29:51):
alert because it's a summer.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's a sign you're gonna talk about. And this is
my favorite subject. Current favorite subject.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Clay Thompson, one of my favorite basketball players of the
modern era, who is now with the Dallas Mavericks, who
gave me joy. Yeah, as a Golden State Warrior, the
best and Megan does Stallion have went public. They are
(30:18):
taking photos together.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Working out together. I mean the video of them working
out together. I think I watched it seven times, literally
started it over because she does this cute little voiceover
of it, and then he's like lifting her up and
he's touching her butt and she's like, Oh, she's so
funny and so cute. This is the couple of the
year that we didn't know we needed.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
And I'm gonna tell you something. I know you probably
don't know that much about Klay Thompson's persona. It's hard
to get five words out of him his social media.
He's never done a video like that.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
That's like crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
He's on the down low. Kay Thompson, in case you
guys don't know, his father was a professional basketball player,
Klay Thompson. If you've ever seen interviews with him as
a basketball player, it's literally like hard to get him
to speak. He's introverted. He seems like he's extremely shy. He's,
you know, kind of quirky for a basketball player, especially
like a swaggy basketball player. Like when he was in
(31:17):
San Francisco, he would ride a boat to I don't
know the geography of San Francisco, Oakland, but he would
he would ride his own boat across the bay.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Amazing, and uh.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
You know, he just was such a great player. But
but I mean so fucking quiet and so like you know,
shy Steph Curry, you know, is comfortable being Steph Curry's funny,
got a such humor and he's not on full blest.
But Klay Thompson be like the guy at at the
press conference. He'd score fifty points and be like, how'd
you feel, claims like, you know, I felt good, very
about his business, completely understated. So for him to be
(31:49):
on social media doing a funny video, he must really
be in love. And Megan the Stallion everybody nothingbody's got
nothing to say as.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Bad about her. She's so lovely. I love her so much.
He's funny, witty, strong, beautiful, He's gorgeous. I just love
this for them me too.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I love it for both of them. And you know,
ma'ma call him Clay. I'm gonna call him Clay. And
obviously it's early in the relationship and they are young,
they're famous and all that stuff. But I could see
this working out.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yes, I could see it working out.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Clay Thompson is about his shit, and Klay Thompson is
He's not one of those guys who you ever hear
anything bad about. I don't know, you know, what he
did in his private life before you know Magan the Stallion,
but the fact that he's public with her now, I think.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
They're a perfect match, to be honest, now that you're
telling me about him, she's just as unique.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, and Clay's coming to the last few years of
his NBA career because Klay Thompson has been in the
league for a long time. And like I said, that
fucking guy gave me joy with the Golden State Warriors.
I mean sincere joy, I know I was there anyway,
Rappaport's reality. What else can I say? It's time to
(32:59):
go to bed.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
This is gonna be something first. I made something you
have leftovers from last night if you're hungry.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Fantastic. What are they?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
It's like a little chickpea pasta with ground turkey. You know,
ground turkey, but chickpea pasta.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Like, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Chickpen It's made out of chickpias pasta. It's pasta. It's
shape like pasta, but it's made from chickpeas. You've had it.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Before, Mama corn pasta. A'm com pasta chickpea pasta. I'll
take what, listen, I'll take whatever you're throwing for my
wife Kibi. She'll go, what do you think? Or what
do you? And I go, what do I want to eat? Whatever?
Whatever's thrown in front of me. The three cook, but
(33:44):
you're just like should gets its kudos. We're gonna do
a fucking dinner party. We're gonna find like the four
biggest fans of Rappa Ports Reality and have them come
over and let Kibi cook. I'm not saying you're like, uh,
you know, I'm not a no no, but you're as
far as somebody who could throw down at home.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I can make something happen in the kitchen, for.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Sure, Kibi makes shit.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
But also you didn't grow up eating like that. Yeah,
so like I could throw anything literally from the kitchen
to the couch into your mouth and you eat it.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
That's one hundred percent true. But I get way better
food than I grew up with a single dad in York. Anyway,
I don't need to deep dive into that. What I
would like you guys to do is to make sure
you tell a friend to telling friend about rap Aports
Reality because we love doing the podcast. Subscribe rating review
absolutely helps, and make sure make sure you follow us
(34:38):
on Instagram at rap aports reality. We are done. I
can't wait to have these leftovers and then go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Love you, baby, Love you babe.
