Speaker 1 (00:02):
You had any fucking online shopping addictions. We tried to
buy a suitcase the other day at seven in the morning, Like,
y'all want to get this suitcase. I'm like, you don't
even brush your gee dick. But did I ever tell
you about my Rickey Shorter story. This is a great story.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's like fight Club for housewives. You say one of
their lines, iconic lines, and you walk away, leave me alone,
let her shop. Yes, that's amazing that you said that, babe,
that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She checked the other girl who came back, and I
mean she came in like a fucking wrecking ball. I
will say that Stacy dealing with everything that she's had
to deal with with the bad breath episode one, two
and three when she is in his self conscious she
is a piece of fucking warm.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
She's fire. She's a queen housewife.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
One two three, Boom. Hello, welcome Rap Ports Reality. My
name is Michael Rappaport.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm Kiev Rapport and.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
This is Rap of Ports Reality, our podcast where we
discuss all things reality TV, a few things popular culture,

Instagram page at Rapoport's Reality. We are heading to the
end of the month of October, which will bring us
to the beginning of November, where Kibi will be celebrating
(01:54):
her birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's right, and I'm going to be fifty six years young.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Fifty six years young, looking fantastic. But the reason why
I'm bringing up the birthday, which is in for another
three weeks, is because as you sort of light soft
started last night.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh the hinting, Well.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You were hinting and you were like, it's my birthday,
and what was it last night? I was like, it's
not your brother. You are eating something and you were like, oh,
it's mine.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh I got care cake from you got Trader Joe's,
and I got it for myself. Listen. I find it
to be delicious. I mean, it's not as good as
my best friend's care cake, but when I was eating it,
I didn't want to share it because I got it
for my birthday. And so you proceeded to try to
eat half of it because you're like, and it's not
(02:47):
even that good. I'm like, well then if it's not
that good, don't eat it. It's my birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It isn't that good. And we've talked about Trader Joe's,
and we can always talk about Trader shows. Trader Joe's
is a fucking racket, and it's a racket of good times.
Because I will say that everything that we get from
Trader does, we have no complaints. But I also will
say that if you're thinking hoping to go into Trader
Joe's and just get vegetables and healthy stuff, you need
(03:14):
to have a strong moral compass because that place will
suck you into the dark side. Yeah, they have every
single We.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Say this every time. I'm talking about the carrot cake.
The carrot cake.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Fir Okay, where would you rate that carrot cake?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Because do you want a quick fast cake? It wasn't basic.
I mean, there's got cream, cheese, frosting. It's very thin
like sheet cake, and it's probably more frosting than it
is cake. I get that. Yeah, but this cake is
like eating candy corn. I mean, who loves candy corn?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I do?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So, Like, you know, it's the same thing to me.
It's not my first pick, obviously, but it will do
for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Is there a carrot cake that you put at the
TOPU list? Now? Your friend Hammy, our friend Tammy, she
does make a mean carrot cake. But is there something
else beside?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've never tasted anything that good that is very good
in Israel, there's a carrot cake that I like and
it's just the cake, and then in between, yes, I
forget that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And then there's that place in Van near Van Cortland
Park that New York staple. I can't remember the name
of it also, which is not doesn't help anybody, but
that I can remember it if I thought about it more.
But there's a very good carrot cake in New York City.
Isn't it called mister Carrot? Or take guys about it?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The guy is a Harlem is the first place I
saw it? Yeah, listen that the care cake suits me
just well. And there's leftovers and I hit it and
you don't know where it is.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's somewhere in the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Because you don't know where it is in the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But do you think at your age? And I'm not
saying because your age, do you think as being a
grown up, do you think it's appropriate where we're going
to celebrate your birthday for the three weeks before the
y bitches.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's my birthday's November tenth, and I have my Hebrew
birthday on the twentieth, So we pre birthday now and
then we take it all the way.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Through the month now without going into specifics. Is there
something that you have your eye on for a birthday gift?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I did, but you know what, I have to behave
because there's some things waiting at the apartment that I
already bought, but as like it adds up, I bought,
like a what I bought?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What did you buy?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's stuff from Quint's.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You had a fucking online shopping addiction. You tried to
buy a suitcase the other day at seven in the morning,
Like you haven't even woke up this, Yeah, I want
to get this suitcase. I'm like, it's you don't even
brush your teeth yet. You don't even brush your teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's why I don't like Via. Then I don't like Instagram. Okay,
it was an Instagram, wasn't that. I saw it on Instagram?
And then I went to look it up on the
actual page on my computer.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Do you think it's appropriate to online shop before you
brush your teeth?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, okay, you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I need a new suitcase. I don't like my big
Twomey suitcase. Whatever. When we're rolling it through its it's
hard to roll through whatever. It doesn't matter. It just
that was a one I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I think that I love Quints. I get that Quint'
is dope. I like Quince. I just got some Quince bags.
Explain what Quint's is.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Quint is an online shopping site, and it's luxury items,
things well made for a very discounted price, like I
recommend their baby. Last year they had baby cashmere, and
then it tells you what it's equivalent to in the
factories and all the things about it in the price.
And I bought that gray sweater I was wearing the
(06:43):
other day. They compared it to Lourol Piano, that fancy brand.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And I will say, as the self anointed King of Kashmere,
that the cashmere that I've gotten from Quints is very
very good.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The Mongolian, the new stuff that they had before, I
would say that it on it you would get the
Kashmir and wood pile. But this some of this stuff,
it's really.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Good and it lasts long, which is the most important thing.
It dry clean. You can't wash. Listen if it says
anything about launching machines. You have to if you get
Kashmir in order to keep it. Because we had a
conversation in the day because you were saying about keeping
your stuff, and you want your stuff, and I said,
I literally have my two favorite Kashmir sweaters, two of
(07:24):
which I had four, two of which I donated because
I didn't love the colors, and I thought I could
get these again.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Because no, but that brand that you got is very,
very expensive, and you got it as an actor at
like a thing that some of the free.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But I take those things.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The brand extraordinary expensive Cashmire.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
They weren't that expensive, babe.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Back then when you got them there they were expensive.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, I'm telling you, they weren't that expensive for the
kind of it. The brand went out because you guys
are probably like chomping at the kind of Kashmira is
in my wrap? What kind of Kashmir is it? KEEPI wrap?
But the brand when it stinct, I don't know what
the fun anyway. Quint is a good company. They got bags,
they got shoes, and it's all sort of.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I never wear the shoes. We're not going people like
I got a linen tableclough. There there's gorgeous next to
my expensive one. You can't tell. There's a lot of things.
I like doing that kind of stuff. I like finding
things that look nice for less money. Listen, babe, what
I really think I want is I want to get
(08:27):
a VPN for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's not a birthday give and I have a VPN.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We do, Yeah, okay, Well I need a subscription to
hay You. Hey You is a streaming service and I
want it because I want to watch Housewives of London and.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You can only watch them by getting what is it
called hey You? I think they had hay You when
I was in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yes, yes, I have it.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But can you get hey You in America.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Only with a VPN.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That's sad, I know, but it's not brought another streaming platform.
It's just I can watch this season. I have a
feeling these companies this She's not gonna last. Man's very frustrating.
But this is not a Bravo show.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You know that, right, Like the show on there that
I want to watch is not produced by Bravo. It's
not a not an NBC universe.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Got to twist my arm.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But the clips look so good. I'm into it, all right.
And your girl that was on Traders with you is
in it? The British Lady.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Which girl that was on Trader British Lady?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The housewife? She was on Dubai. Yeah, she's on it, okay,
she was on the original Ladies of London. I loved Stansbury.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
She was all right. She was in my housewives that
were part of the cast of Traders. She's at number
five because yes she was.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
She's she's not that friendly.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
She just she's fine. Right, I'm not saying she's not fine,
but she's a little fine. I isn't the only one
that found her quote unquote just fine, and hopefully that
moment where somebody else found her to be just fine
will air in season four of Traders. Thank you. Now,
I can only talk in between the lines. You can
(10:13):
try to find out what I just told you about
it between lists. But I was I was witnessed to
somebody who thought she was stop while you're ahead, just fine. Okay,
And I will tell you that when I was watching
that person, and I'm not saying who it is, it
could be a man or a woman. When that person
realized she was just fine, they went into a I
(10:34):
would say it felt like twenty minutes, but in real life,
it was probably two to three minutes, a two to
three minute tangent about how just fine she was. And
I was mouth agapped, agaped, a gaped gape. And I
hope when they if they show that moment when that happened,
they cut to me with my mouth agaped, because I
(10:56):
know my mouth was at the floor.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Because you felt like you were on the Housewives of Scotland.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yes, I was like, wow, Wow, that's very cool. It
was like I was, I can't wait. You know, when
I think about my time doing Traders, moments like that
are what my takeaways. And being in the hotel uh
completely isolated, which was not fun part. But when I
think about the fun part, I think about alluding to
(11:23):
what I just meant.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Were just staring into the faces of these housewives that
you love and admire.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
When Traders comes out, I have some things to share
that are going to be great because I'm going to
explain and share all of it. I can't wait. I'm
going to explain and share.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
All Let me ask you this, wait, is it a
Bravo show, which is a.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Peacock show Peacock.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh, it's Peacock, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But Peacock is under Bravo.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, well Bravos NBC Universal owns all of it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Right. We must discuss talking about popular culture things we're watching.
We have started watching Black Rabbit, which is the new
(12:15):
Jude Law Jason Bateman show. I think I believe it
was created by Jason Bateman and his partner or another partner.
And the show is about two brothers excuse me, played
by Judelaw and Jason Bateman who are in the restaurant business.
And it's really sort of that old school brother brotherly love,
(12:37):
one brother fucking up the other brother, the other brother
sort of bringing down the other brother. It was you, Charlie,
It was you. It could have been a contender sort
of thing, Shakespearean Brothers caramaz Off. And it takes place
in a it doesn't say when. It feels like the
late nineties, early two thousands, but they don't say it's now,
and I think it's now.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I think they go flashback to one one of the brothers.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yes, but a gritty New York feel, and it's very
well done.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You compared it to popa Grew, which I thought was
a brilliant comparison. There's a lot of elements of that
movie in this series and in.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Uncut gems, and it's it's the sort of New York,
the gritty New York that you don't see. It's not
the Sex in the City, it's not the Lena Dunham
Girls version of New York, and it's not the full
New York. But there is a gritty New York that
still exists. There is a seedy New York that still exists.
And they have a restaurant called the Black Rabbit. And
Jude Law is sort of the good brother, but he's
(13:36):
a fuck up too, and Jason Bateman is the other
brother who's more of a fuck up. And it's really good.
It's very well written, very well acted, very well shot.
And the thing that I like about it because where
it's going. It's obviously it focuses on the brothers and
how they got to where they are. At the beginning
of the story, and in the first four episodes, which
(13:59):
we've only watched the first, but going forward it starts
to break down the other ancillary character. That's right, and
there's mobsters, and it's great, and we're really enjoying.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It a lot like not so much like we enjoyed Mobland.
I don't think we were riveted by that different pace,
much more higher stakes, more graphically stimulating. But this was
like the direction I think Laura Lenny, the actress Laura
Lenny directed the second, third, and fourth episodes.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And Jason Bateman directed the first and acted in and
acted which is him. Motherfucker is talented.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I know watching that. I asked you if you would
want to direct episodics again ever.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Shit like that, I would, Yes. Cool. Jason Bateman has
superseded expectations from his days on Silver Spoons, right.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I forgot that he was on that he was on
Silver Spoons crazy with Ricky Schroder Schroeder.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Who I love from The Champ Champ, Get Up Champ. Yes,
and I acted out that I did a play version,
a written play version of The Champ in I believe
it was the second or third grade at PS one
fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Is that something that you did with the friend that
you mentioned the other day.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You guys different than different island, different theater group, different school,
different theater group. But I played, of course, Ricky Schroeder,
and I forced the other kids to no one. I
probably was a fucking tyrant. No one wanted. By the
time the show went up, I feel like no one
wanted to participate it. But you know, like it was a.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
School you ended up playing all the parts.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Playing Champ, playing Ricky schrod and playing John Voyd, playing everybody.
But did I ever tell you about my Ricky Schroder story?
This is a great story. So in nineteen eighty six,
my friend and I were in Los Angeles. At the time,
I was in school at Fairfax. I was going to
school at Fairfax for one year, tenth grade at Fairfax
(15:53):
High School. We took stole, borrowed without asking, just say
my step mom's car, Joanne's car. Right. Neither one of
us were great drivers, but we were sufficient. We were
driving all around Holly, this is nineteen eighty six. Wow,
So this is when like sunset, now, we didn't know
(16:14):
where the fuck we were at.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I was gonna say, you hadn't even been in La
that long to be driving the streets.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Of we didn't know where the fuck we were going.
We never got to any accidents. That was the one.
We never crashed the car, never bumped the car. We
were able to park the car. And we were driving
around Hollywood and we wound up getting pulled over. No,
because we were throwing eggs out of the car, because
that's a smart thing we do. You don't have a
(16:40):
driver's license.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You took your stepmom's car and then threw eggs out
of it. That sounds really like bad decision making.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And we wound up getting pulled over in a parking
lot near the Old Tower Records.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It was on sunset, like Dohaney.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And while we got pulled over and the cops were
talking to us, and this is musta been on a
Friday or Saturday night because as I remember and as
my friend remembers it, it was it was packed. Wow.
But while we were getting pulled over by the cops,
Ricky Schroeder in his prime, got out of a car
and he's our rage and we were like oh ship,
(17:15):
and we were like yo, and he was like he
was very friendly to us. We were chatting with Rickey
Schrolder while while the cops were standing there and I
was bugging because I was a huge Ricky. Ricky Schroder
was the guy. He was a fucking I was in
love with him. He was the man with the fucking
blue eyes and the blonde hair and the front car
and silver spoons and Champ Champ, get up Champ, and
(17:36):
he had the commercials. He was the dude. And anyway,
Ricky Schroder was very nice and he wound up going
on and then the cops were like, what are you doing.
We like, we borrowed the car and we were begging
and no, no, and he said, well, we saw you
throwing eggs out of the car, and he made us
this is a fucking true story. He made us put
the eggs at the top of our pants and smashed
the eggs. Now he did not yep, And then they
(17:58):
let us go.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh my gosh, talk about police brutell. I'm kidding. It's funny.
Back in the days, that's how you That's exactly what
you should have done.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
That's what you get. So cops who I know are
probably listening and probably found out that they were like, oh, yeah,
we could have arrested that fucking Michael Rappor and his
dumb fucking friend. We didn't do what we made him
smash the eggs down their pants as they were they
were chit chatting with Ricky Schorter. And I love those
I appreciate you cops. I know you've been following my career,
(18:28):
uh you know, to the tea, but shout out to
those guys. But that's a true such a good story.
But Black Rabbit with Jason Bateman and Jude Law is
very good, very entertaining, very gritty, very funny.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Jason so funny. Jason Bateman is just what he does.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
He's been doing the same ship.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He's been doing the same stuff, and you watch he's
playing the same sort of characters with Nuance.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Wise as Wise Assay on Silver Spoons. Don't suspect No,
that's I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It's not easy to and then it stays within his
reign and it works for him and it's so good,
I mean with it. He has a beard and long
hair and you know, yeah Ozark the show that he
was on, say husband that way saying, he's the same character,
and it works so well.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It works so well, excellent, And also the violence in
the show is very real, and like at one point
somebody gets robbed and it's like, yeah, this is how
one person might act if they were getting robbed. It's
certainly how that character.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That scene is crazy real.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And then there's another scene where something bad happens, which
I won't give it away because I really urge people
to watch the show where're like, that's how that would be.
So I just it's fucking funny. It's good. It's so
New York. And you know, him and the other showrunners
and the people who created to really capture this grit
in New York that does exist.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And that's saying a lot when you say that, because
it's sometimes your problem with shows that take place in
New York. They're missing sort of.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Another And you know, I know I saw people say, well,
their accents. I'm not the accent police. I'm not going
to name other very coveted performances by very coveted actors
who have failed accents. Accents sorry, extremely hard thing to
get right. And there has been way better actors than me,
(20:24):
Jason Bateman and Jude Law and I say that with
all due respect, who have failed miserably with accents, specifically
New York accents. I think they did great. They sounded great,
the show's great, and I can't wait to finish watching
Black Rabbit.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Same. We love Black Rabbit. But let's chincheck our way
into Potomac.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Not chincheck.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh no, not chincheck. I don't understand why that was
used like that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Because the reason why it was I don't know why
the term was used.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
K KB is the name KB. No Ka Ka Ka
used it very confident. I'm about to chin check her
her very good friend who she's brought into the show.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But I've never heard it used other than in a
violent way. Boxing.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah right, I thought it was a boxing reference.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
It's a fighting reference, like y' I'm gonna check his
chin And based on the physical altercation that happened that
Kay wasn't She didn't start it. Grimace started it. Grimace.
She started it. And the reason why I know was
Grimace because I actually when I was doing Traders off camera,
(21:34):
I did. I did, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
How she came up with that nickname for that girl that.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
No, I said, what did you call it? What Muppet character?
She said Grimace? And I said, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Neck, and you did not say that to her?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is yes, this is that's amazing. I guarantee you
that I am not the first person that walked up
with Cannis and be like OKAYNX.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I know, but it's still fun to be able to
be the one who did it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I wish I could market and there's a fan, They'll
be like okay, Now.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
If I saw her in the supermarket, I would come
up behind her and be like okay, next.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And you don't have to say anything else, and then
I walk away. That's all that's saying. I love you,
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I fight club for housewives. You say one of their lines,
iconic lines, and you walk away leave them alone.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Letter shop.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yes, that's amazing that you said that. Oh babe, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Now the five housewives that were there.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Did you do any of Lisa Rena's lines to her?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, I referenced I've referenced Lisa Rena in the show
as Lisa Erna to Lisa Arena, Like I was.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Doing all that shit. This is this is the highlight
of my thing, Like, babe, when I was sitting down
with all five of them, the five houses that were
announced on season four of Traders, Yeah, it is announced
that Lisa Arena, Dorina Medley Porsha Williams, Candas the Great Candace,
and Carolyn Stansbury. They were on the show. It was
(23:03):
announced that they were on the show, so you knew.
And when I was sitting with all five of them
at once, so that's six of us. It could have
literally been Steph Curry, Kawhi, Leonard jleb Jordan, Michael Jordan,
and Lebron James. That guy was just as maybe not
as excited, but close to that exercise. It wouldn't be
(23:26):
Michael Jordan level because those but the players that I
named like that level. I get the reference. Yeah, I
got see Steph. Steph's a different thing because I've been
around Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, he's like friendly with you, but.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Steph Curry is also like being around a Noxema model
and Steph Curry because when you're up close to me,
like he got nice skin in his eyes, like he's
very he's like it's like a woman, very pure, very pure.
But he's also like he looks like a model, like
you can't see any poors. He just like he's he's
you know, he's like the Golden child for real, he
really is. He just has a spirit and a look
(23:58):
about me. Like, this fucking guy's step hurt so much.
And he's also the same size as me. He is
he's not like this superman figure like some of these
NBA playsures you're like this guy's he's like you're like,
he kills it and he's like this sort of unassuming person.
He's incredible. He's sick Potomac.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
When they went to the Preakness, which I don't even
know what is the Preakness the horse race, it was
like Freaknick. Remember when the Black Friend, like the Blackness
and the HBCUs they had the Freaknick.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's like not the same level as the other horse
race where they will put the hats somebody Kentucky Derby.
It's not a different version, but it's an important horse
race allegedly.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Okay, well, so they went to that. When they were
sitting at the table to me in this last episode,
that scene was there was so much to unpack, so
much with the new British Lady. I mean, just her
act alone adds so much to the show.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Because when you're British and you're on one of these
shows that's not British, like your accent, you're going to
fall into a track it's a.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Character in itself. And they stop her and say like
what does that mean? And it could be a normal
phrase a few times, yeah, like you know, tongue in cheek,
like you haven't heard that, but the way she says it,
it sounds like something.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It sounds totally elevated, but it's it's just a thing.
And they yeah, they've brought it up already, and it
is going to be NonStop totally because they're like what
or what the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Like huh or she says, you know, even if she
said something to Ashley like you know, don't go there
or something like that. And with the British it sounds
so elitist and snobby to these women. You know, they
live in Marylyn, do you know what I mean? It's great.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I love her so much.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I think she's an amazing addition to the show. That
scene was just we have the other new woman, Angela Massey,
whose boyfriend she's made every her husband. She's made everyone
aware that he is a ten year.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Starter played for the Denver Bronx. And she's a wag.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
She's a wag wife and girlfriends of sports players, right, So.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's a British term again, right, but she she checked
the other girl who came back, and I mean she
came in like a fucking recond.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
She was from last season, right she or does she
still season? Last season? Forgot her name? Just jazzy Jazzy
Jazzy came in like a record bull and also a wag,
a fellow wag. But her boyfriend is sort of seven
year starter.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
No, he's not a starter.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh so she should have said it, he's a seven
year rookie.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well no, they say a bench player. Oh bench, because
but listen.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You're you're in an NFL and you don't play. You
sit on the bench.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You play, but you're not you're not a starter. Like
that's where the big money's not a star or a starter.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I get it, but that makes that seem more insulting.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I mean, so she diss them. It's like she like,
I go out with He's not Leonardo, he's not Patrick
Mahomes or Travis Kelch, but he's a part of the team,
right and he starts. So it's like saying when your
guy had a few lines.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Right, and you'd be like, there's no small lines, there's
no small actors.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He also played on the Chiefs. They won a Super Bowl,
but she the fact that she led with that kind nice.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
To meet you. I'm a fellow wag. My husband is
ten years.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
At Okay, that was ridiculous. That's it's a frag.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It's it's a brag and no way to start a
new friendship.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, and it's not classy at all.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
She's running into a lot of troubles. I must say
this Angela.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I'm matthy with.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Her, and that scene told me why. It's like she's
got to pull back.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
She's she's kind of walking into that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They do like but you know, you can't come in
with this sound bath and like, I'm I do outdoor
tykes for a living. We have a business. Like you're
sounding like you think you already think you're better than everyone,
and but these girls, that does not work.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
No, And it's so funny to me and interesting that
at this point in Housewives for new Housewives, when we
know everything about the show, and clearly, if you come
on the Housewives in twenty twenty five, you've watched the show.
Sure you have. Period.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
If you get the show, you probably watch it to
see what you got. So you haven't If you haven't
watched it like we have aggressively. You've watched consistently, you've
watched it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
But the rookies always fall into that track every single time.
It's crazy. I will say that Stacy dealing with everything
that she's had to deal with with the Bad Breath
episode one, two and three, when she is in his
self conscious she is a piece of fucking work.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
She's fire, She's a queen housewife. This casting is brilliant.
I mean she is. She's quirky, she's funny, she's strong,
but she comes off robotic and weak and all the
opposites of those things, which makes it for her. Interviews
alone are just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Like she don't back down either. I mean she's like
a dura cell battery. She takes a licking and keeps on.
She is just she don't go away.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They're in the pocket. This show, I love it. I
love what's happening. But the scene at Preakness, they're all
wearing fascinators.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
What's that the hat?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yes, they're like a half a hat.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't know, it's like a big hat.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, it's like a you know, they some of them
are little, they're fascinated. I don't know. What that means.
It's I don't know what they're like.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
They're like a statement, had.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Statement hair piece of piece of a hat, and.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
They're just going, yeah, it's amazing. It's just too good.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The show is too good.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I will say that scene is so much is happening
in that scene that it needs to be rewatch studied.
And I guarantee you at either Bravo Kan or a
Bravo show, they will do that. You know, they do
theater versions, they'll do that scene totally. It's at that
level under understated drink throwing, but it was like, what's
(29:58):
going on?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
It was like a pink game of sort of like
subtle insults and they were all involved. Yes, it was excellent.
I watched it twice.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'll watch it again. And we watched but I'll let
you guys watch it on your own. Giselle and Robin
the Green Eyed Bandits podcasts breaking down what's happening currently
with Wendy. You can tell they were like, oh, bitch,
I can't Wendy Let's podcast right now.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, it was an emergency podcast for them for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Did they call it or no, No, they did it.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'm just saying they had they had to get right
on it, and are you kidding me? They were waiting
to take zen Wen down, oh man.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
And you could smile through it. You could be like, well,
we're not there anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, because you didn't cause it, but you and you
can't cure it. But she did it.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
So they are happy to talk. My gosh, they are
happy to talk now. They don't shit on her zen
when no, but they.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Laughed throughout the whole thing. I mean, those are the
protectives that we need. I'm telling you they They are
funny breaking down her crimes allegedly, and we are.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Team Wendy and team Happy. I want them in trouble
and we love those kids and we root for all
our housewives. But I'm not sure if some of their
castmates feel the exact.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Sy way, I would agree.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It's fucking brutal. I mean, they're not even saying it,
and you're just like you motherfuckers are the two of
them are to imagine their text chain no and their
face tied.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I'm sure to come on, I'm sure it's gonna make
next season.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Robin's going to come back, or the phone calls.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Are gonna the text chains are somehow going to come up.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I think that Robin will come back, simply because I'm
imagining that Wendy's not going to come back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Now really depends on how goes. I think they're going
to get out of it, That's what I think, But.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It might not get out of it by the time
next season comes up, right Anyway, The Real Housewives of
Potomac excellent, Black Rabbit excellent, and every other thing in
the world of Rapaports Reality two thumbs up. Kibi's birthday,

be that?
Speaker 2 (32:28):

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, colliding. I like a crossover. Any worlds collide and
come together. Yes, I don't even call it colliding. I
say come together.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Well with these ladies, I'm sure it's colliding.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
M hmm
You had any fucking online shopping addictions. We tried to
buy a suitcase the other day at seven in the morning, Like,
y'all want to get this suitcase. I'm like, you don't
even brush your gee dick. But did I ever tell
you about my Rickey Shorter story. This is a great story.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's like fight Club for housewives. You say one of
their lines, iconic lines, and you walk away, leave me alone,
let her shop. Yes, that's amazing that you said that, babe,
that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
She checked the other girl who came back, and I
mean she came in like a fucking wrecking ball. I
will say that Stacy dealing with everything that she's had
to deal with with the bad breath episode one, two
and three when she is in his self conscious she
is a piece of fucking warm.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
She's fire. She's a queen housewife.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
One two three, Boom. Hello, welcome Rap Ports Reality. My
name is Michael Rappaport.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm Kiev Rapport and.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
This is Rap of Ports Reality, our podcast where we
discuss all things reality TV, a few things popular culture,
and a couple of things about our super duper private
You had very public relationship. If you never listened to
rap ports Reality. Welcome. If you've never listened to rap
(01:32):
Ports Reality, make sure you subscribe, rate and review our podcast,
and make sure you follow us on our extremely entertaining
Instagram page at Rapoport's Reality. We are heading to the
end of the month of October, which will bring us
to the beginning of November, where Kibi will be celebrating
(01:54):
her birthday.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's right, and I'm going to be fifty six years young.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Fifty six years young, looking fantastic. But the reason why
I'm bringing up the birthday, which is in for another
three weeks, is because as you sort of light soft
started last night.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Oh the hinting, Well.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You were hinting and you were like, it's my birthday,
and what was it last night? I was like, it's
not your brother. You are eating something and you were like, oh,
it's mine.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh I got care cake from you got Trader Joe's,
and I got it for myself. Listen. I find it
to be delicious. I mean, it's not as good as
my best friend's care cake, but when I was eating it,
I didn't want to share it because I got it
for my birthday. And so you proceeded to try to
eat half of it because you're like, and it's not
(02:47):
even that good. I'm like, well then if it's not
that good, don't eat it. It's my birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It isn't that good. And we've talked about Trader Joe's,
and we can always talk about Trader shows. Trader Joe's
is a fucking racket, and it's a racket of good times.
Because I will say that everything that we get from
Trader does, we have no complaints. But I also will
say that if you're thinking hoping to go into Trader
Joe's and just get vegetables and healthy stuff, you need
(03:14):
to have a strong moral compass because that place will
suck you into the dark side. Yeah, they have every
single We.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Say this every time. I'm talking about the carrot cake.
The carrot cake.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Fir Okay, where would you rate that carrot cake?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Because do you want a quick fast cake? It wasn't basic.
I mean, there's got cream, cheese, frosting. It's very thin
like sheet cake, and it's probably more frosting than it
is cake. I get that. Yeah, but this cake is
like eating candy corn. I mean, who loves candy corn?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I do?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So, Like, you know, it's the same thing to me.
It's not my first pick, obviously, but it will do
for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Is there a carrot cake that you put at the
TOPU list? Now? Your friend Hammy, our friend Tammy, she
does make a mean carrot cake. But is there something
else beside?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've never tasted anything that good that is very good
in Israel, there's a carrot cake that I like and
it's just the cake, and then in between, yes, I
forget that.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
And then there's that place in Van near Van Cortland
Park that New York staple. I can't remember the name
of it also, which is not doesn't help anybody, but
that I can remember it if I thought about it more.
But there's a very good carrot cake in New York City.
Isn't it called mister Carrot? Or take guys about it?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The guy is a Harlem is the first place I
saw it? Yeah, listen that the care cake suits me
just well. And there's leftovers and I hit it and
you don't know where it is.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's somewhere in the refrigerator.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Because you don't know where it is in the refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
But do you think at your age? And I'm not
saying because your age, do you think as being a
grown up, do you think it's appropriate where we're going
to celebrate your birthday for the three weeks before the
y bitches.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's my birthday's November tenth, and I have my Hebrew
birthday on the twentieth, So we pre birthday now and
then we take it all the way.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Through the month now without going into specifics. Is there
something that you have your eye on for a birthday gift?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I did, but you know what, I have to behave
because there's some things waiting at the apartment that I
already bought, but as like it adds up, I bought,
like a what I bought?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What did you buy?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's stuff from Quint's.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You had a fucking online shopping addiction. You tried to
buy a suitcase the other day at seven in the morning,
Like you haven't even woke up this, Yeah, I want
to get this suitcase. I'm like, it's you don't even
brush your teeth yet. You don't even brush your teeth.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's why I don't like Via. Then I don't like Instagram. Okay,
it was an Instagram, wasn't that. I saw it on Instagram?
And then I went to look it up on the
actual page on my computer.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Do you think it's appropriate to online shop before you
brush your teeth?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, okay, you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I need a new suitcase. I don't like my big
Twomey suitcase. Whatever. When we're rolling it through its it's
hard to roll through whatever. It doesn't matter. It just
that was a one I didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I think that I love Quints. I get that Quint'
is dope. I like Quince. I just got some Quince bags.
Explain what Quint's is.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Quint is an online shopping site, and it's luxury items,
things well made for a very discounted price, like I
recommend their baby. Last year they had baby cashmere, and
then it tells you what it's equivalent to in the
factories and all the things about it in the price.
And I bought that gray sweater I was wearing the
(06:43):
other day. They compared it to Lourol Piano, that fancy brand.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And I will say, as the self anointed King of Kashmere,
that the cashmere that I've gotten from Quints is very
very good.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The Mongolian, the new stuff that they had before, I
would say that it on it you would get the
Kashmir and wood pile. But this some of this stuff,
it's really.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Good and it lasts long, which is the most important thing.
It dry clean. You can't wash. Listen if it says
anything about launching machines. You have to if you get
Kashmir in order to keep it. Because we had a
conversation in the day because you were saying about keeping
your stuff, and you want your stuff, and I said,
I literally have my two favorite Kashmir sweaters, two of
(07:24):
which I had four, two of which I donated because
I didn't love the colors, and I thought I could
get these again.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Because no, but that brand that you got is very,
very expensive, and you got it as an actor at
like a thing that some of the free.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But I take those things.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
The brand extraordinary expensive Cashmire.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
They weren't that expensive, babe.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Back then when you got them there they were expensive.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, I'm telling you, they weren't that expensive for the
kind of it. The brand went out because you guys
are probably like chomping at the kind of Kashmira is
in my wrap? What kind of Kashmir is it? KEEPI wrap?
But the brand when it stinct, I don't know what
the fun anyway. Quint is a good company. They got bags,
they got shoes, and it's all sort of.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I never wear the shoes. We're not going people like
I got a linen tableclough. There there's gorgeous next to
my expensive one. You can't tell. There's a lot of things.
I like doing that kind of stuff. I like finding
things that look nice for less money. Listen, babe, what
I really think I want is I want to get
(08:27):
a VPN for my birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's not a birthday give and I have a VPN.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
We do, Yeah, okay, Well I need a subscription to
hay You. Hey You is a streaming service and I
want it because I want to watch Housewives of London and.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You can only watch them by getting what is it
called hey You? I think they had hay You when
I was in Scotland.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yes, yes, I have it.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But can you get hey You in America.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Only with a VPN.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That's sad, I know, but it's not brought another streaming platform.
It's just I can watch this season. I have a
feeling these companies this She's not gonna last. Man's very frustrating.
But this is not a Bravo show.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You know that, right, Like the show on there that
I want to watch is not produced by Bravo. It's
not a not an NBC universe.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Got to twist my arm.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
But the clips look so good. I'm into it, all right.
And your girl that was on Traders with you is
in it? The British Lady.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Which girl that was on Trader British Lady?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The housewife? She was on Dubai. Yeah, she's on it, okay,
she was on the original Ladies of London. I loved Stansbury.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
She was all right. She was in my housewives that
were part of the cast of Traders. She's at number
five because yes she was.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
She's she's not that friendly.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
She just she's fine. Right, I'm not saying she's not fine,
but she's a little fine. I isn't the only one
that found her quote unquote just fine, and hopefully that
moment where somebody else found her to be just fine
will air in season four of Traders. Thank you. Now,
I can only talk in between the lines. You can
(10:13):
try to find out what I just told you about
it between lists. But I was I was witnessed to
somebody who thought she was stop while you're ahead, just fine. Okay,
And I will tell you that when I was watching
that person, and I'm not saying who it is, it
could be a man or a woman. When that person
realized she was just fine, they went into a I
(10:34):
would say it felt like twenty minutes, but in real life,
it was probably two to three minutes, a two to
three minute tangent about how just fine she was. And
I was mouth agapped, agaped, a gaped gape. And I
hope when they if they show that moment when that happened,
they cut to me with my mouth agaped, because I
(10:56):
know my mouth was at the floor.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Because you felt like you were on the Housewives of Scotland.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yes, I was like, wow, Wow, that's very cool. It
was like I was, I can't wait. You know, when
I think about my time doing Traders, moments like that
are what my takeaways. And being in the hotel uh
completely isolated, which was not fun part. But when I
think about the fun part, I think about alluding to
(11:23):
what I just meant.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Were just staring into the faces of these housewives that
you love and admire.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
When Traders comes out, I have some things to share
that are going to be great because I'm going to
explain and share all of it. I can't wait. I'm
going to explain and share.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
All Let me ask you this, wait, is it a
Bravo show, which is a.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Peacock show Peacock.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh, it's Peacock, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
But Peacock is under Bravo.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, well Bravos NBC Universal owns all of it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Right. We must discuss talking about popular culture things we're watching.
We have started watching Black Rabbit, which is the new
(12:15):
Jude Law Jason Bateman show. I think I believe it
was created by Jason Bateman and his partner or another partner.
And the show is about two brothers excuse me, played
by Judelaw and Jason Bateman who are in the restaurant business.
And it's really sort of that old school brother brotherly love,
(12:37):
one brother fucking up the other brother, the other brother
sort of bringing down the other brother. It was you, Charlie,
It was you. It could have been a contender sort
of thing, Shakespearean Brothers caramaz Off. And it takes place
in a it doesn't say when. It feels like the
late nineties, early two thousands, but they don't say it's now,
and I think it's now.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I think they go flashback to one one of the brothers.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yes, but a gritty New York feel, and it's very
well done.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You compared it to popa Grew, which I thought was
a brilliant comparison. There's a lot of elements of that
movie in this series and in.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Uncut gems, and it's it's the sort of New York,
the gritty New York that you don't see. It's not
the Sex in the City, it's not the Lena Dunham
Girls version of New York, and it's not the full
New York. But there is a gritty New York that
still exists. There is a seedy New York that still exists.
And they have a restaurant called the Black Rabbit. And
Jude Law is sort of the good brother, but he's
(13:36):
a fuck up too, and Jason Bateman is the other
brother who's more of a fuck up. And it's really good.
It's very well written, very well acted, very well shot.
And the thing that I like about it because where
it's going. It's obviously it focuses on the brothers and
how they got to where they are. At the beginning
of the story, and in the first four episodes, which
(13:59):
we've only watched the first, but going forward it starts
to break down the other ancillary character. That's right, and
there's mobsters, and it's great, and we're really enjoying.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
It a lot like not so much like we enjoyed Mobland.
I don't think we were riveted by that different pace,
much more higher stakes, more graphically stimulating. But this was
like the direction I think Laura Lenny, the actress Laura
Lenny directed the second, third, and fourth episodes.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And Jason Bateman directed the first and acted in and
acted which is him. Motherfucker is talented.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I know watching that. I asked you if you would
want to direct episodics again ever.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Shit like that, I would, Yes. Cool. Jason Bateman has
superseded expectations from his days on Silver Spoons, right.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I forgot that he was on that he was on
Silver Spoons crazy with Ricky Schroder Schroeder.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Who I love from The Champ Champ, Get Up Champ. Yes,
and I acted out that I did a play version,
a written play version of The Champ in I believe
it was the second or third grade at PS one
fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Is that something that you did with the friend that
you mentioned the other day.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You guys different than different island, different theater group, different school,
different theater group. But I played, of course, Ricky Schroeder,
and I forced the other kids to no one. I
probably was a fucking tyrant. No one wanted. By the
time the show went up, I feel like no one
wanted to participate it. But you know, like it was a.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
School you ended up playing all the parts.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Playing Champ, playing Ricky schrod and playing John Voyd, playing everybody.
But did I ever tell you about my Ricky Schroder story?
This is a great story. So in nineteen eighty six,
my friend and I were in Los Angeles. At the time,
I was in school at Fairfax. I was going to
school at Fairfax for one year, tenth grade at Fairfax
(15:53):
High School. We took stole, borrowed without asking, just say
my step mom's car, Joanne's car. Right. Neither one of
us were great drivers, but we were sufficient. We were
driving all around Holly, this is nineteen eighty six. Wow,
So this is when like sunset, now, we didn't know
(16:14):
where the fuck we were at.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
I was gonna say, you hadn't even been in La
that long to be driving the streets.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Of we didn't know where the fuck we were going.
We never got to any accidents. That was the one.
We never crashed the car, never bumped the car. We
were able to park the car. And we were driving
around Hollywood and we wound up getting pulled over. No,
because we were throwing eggs out of the car, because
that's a smart thing we do. You don't have a
(16:40):
driver's license.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You took your stepmom's car and then threw eggs out
of it. That sounds really like bad decision making.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And we wound up getting pulled over in a parking
lot near the Old Tower Records.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It was on sunset, like Dohaney.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And while we got pulled over and the cops were
talking to us, and this is musta been on a
Friday or Saturday night because as I remember and as
my friend remembers it, it was it was packed. Wow.
But while we were getting pulled over by the cops,
Ricky Schroeder in his prime, got out of a car
and he's our rage and we were like oh ship,
(17:15):
and we were like yo, and he was like he
was very friendly to us. We were chatting with Rickey
Schrolder while while the cops were standing there and I
was bugging because I was a huge Ricky. Ricky Schroder
was the guy. He was a fucking I was in
love with him. He was the man with the fucking
blue eyes and the blonde hair and the front car
and silver spoons and Champ Champ, get up Champ, and
(17:36):
he had the commercials. He was the dude. And anyway,
Ricky Schroder was very nice and he wound up going
on and then the cops were like, what are you doing.
We like, we borrowed the car and we were begging
and no, no, and he said, well, we saw you
throwing eggs out of the car, and he made us
this is a fucking true story. He made us put
the eggs at the top of our pants and smashed
the eggs. Now he did not yep, And then they
(17:58):
let us go.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh my gosh, talk about police brutell. I'm kidding. It's funny.
Back in the days, that's how you That's exactly what
you should have done.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
That's what you get. So cops who I know are
probably listening and probably found out that they were like, oh, yeah,
we could have arrested that fucking Michael Rappor and his
dumb fucking friend. We didn't do what we made him
smash the eggs down their pants as they were they
were chit chatting with Ricky Schorter. And I love those
I appreciate you cops. I know you've been following my career,
(18:28):
uh you know, to the tea, but shout out to
those guys. But that's a true such a good story.
But Black Rabbit with Jason Bateman and Jude Law is
very good, very entertaining, very gritty, very funny.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Jason so funny. Jason Bateman is just what he does.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
He's been doing the same ship.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He's been doing the same stuff, and you watch he's
playing the same sort of characters with Nuance.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Wise as Wise Assay on Silver Spoons. Don't suspect No,
that's I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It's not easy to and then it stays within his
reign and it works for him and it's so good,
I mean with it. He has a beard and long
hair and you know, yeah Ozark the show that he
was on, say husband that way saying, he's the same character,
and it works so well.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
It works so well, excellent, And also the violence in
the show is very real, and like at one point
somebody gets robbed and it's like, yeah, this is how
one person might act if they were getting robbed. It's
certainly how that character.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That scene is crazy real.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And then there's another scene where something bad happens, which
I won't give it away because I really urge people
to watch the show where're like, that's how that would be.
So I just it's fucking funny. It's good. It's so
New York. And you know, him and the other showrunners
and the people who created to really capture this grit
in New York that does exist.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
And that's saying a lot when you say that, because
it's sometimes your problem with shows that take place in
New York. They're missing sort of.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Another And you know, I know I saw people say, well,
their accents. I'm not the accent police. I'm not going
to name other very coveted performances by very coveted actors
who have failed accents. Accents sorry, extremely hard thing to
get right. And there has been way better actors than me,
(20:24):
Jason Bateman and Jude Law and I say that with
all due respect, who have failed miserably with accents, specifically
New York accents. I think they did great. They sounded great,
the show's great, and I can't wait to finish watching
Black Rabbit.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Same. We love Black Rabbit. But let's chincheck our way
into Potomac.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Not chincheck.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh no, not chincheck. I don't understand why that was
used like that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Because the reason why it was I don't know why
the term was used.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
K KB is the name KB. No Ka Ka Ka
used it very confident. I'm about to chin check her
her very good friend who she's brought into the show.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
But I've never heard it used other than in a
violent way. Boxing.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah right, I thought it was a boxing reference.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
It's a fighting reference, like y' I'm gonna check his
chin And based on the physical altercation that happened that
Kay wasn't She didn't start it. Grimace started it. Grimace.
She started it. And the reason why I know was
Grimace because I actually when I was doing Traders off camera,
(21:34):
I did. I did, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
How she came up with that nickname for that girl that.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
No, I said, what did you call it? What Muppet character?
She said Grimace? And I said, okay.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Neck, and you did not say that to her?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
This is yes, this is that's amazing. I guarantee you
that I am not the first person that walked up
with Cannis and be like OKAYNX.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I know, but it's still fun to be able to
be the one who did it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
I wish I could market and there's a fan, They'll
be like okay, Now.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
If I saw her in the supermarket, I would come
up behind her and be like okay, next.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
And you don't have to say anything else, and then
I walk away. That's all that's saying. I love you,
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I fight club for housewives. You say one of their lines,
iconic lines, and you walk away leave them alone.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Letter shop.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yes, that's amazing that you said that. Oh babe, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Now the five housewives that were there.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Did you do any of Lisa Rena's lines to her?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, I referenced I've referenced Lisa Rena in the show
as Lisa Erna to Lisa Arena, Like I was.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Doing all that shit. This is this is the highlight
of my thing, Like, babe, when I was sitting down
with all five of them, the five houses that were
announced on season four of Traders, Yeah, it is announced
that Lisa Arena, Dorina Medley Porsha Williams, Candas the Great Candace,
and Carolyn Stansbury. They were on the show. It was
(23:03):
announced that they were on the show, so you knew.
And when I was sitting with all five of them
at once, so that's six of us. It could have
literally been Steph Curry, Kawhi, Leonard jleb Jordan, Michael Jordan,
and Lebron James. That guy was just as maybe not
as excited, but close to that exercise. It wouldn't be
(23:26):
Michael Jordan level because those but the players that I
named like that level. I get the reference. Yeah, I
got see Steph. Steph's a different thing because I've been
around Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, he's like friendly with you, but.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Steph Curry is also like being around a Noxema model
and Steph Curry because when you're up close to me,
like he got nice skin in his eyes, like he's
very he's like it's like a woman, very pure, very pure.
But he's also like he looks like a model, like
you can't see any poors. He just like he's he's
you know, he's like the Golden child for real, he
really is. He just has a spirit and a look
(23:58):
about me. Like, this fucking guy's step hurt so much.
And he's also the same size as me. He is
he's not like this superman figure like some of these
NBA playsures you're like this guy's he's like you're like,
he kills it and he's like this sort of unassuming person.
He's incredible. He's sick Potomac.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
When they went to the Preakness, which I don't even
know what is the Preakness the horse race, it was
like Freaknick. Remember when the Black Friend, like the Blackness
and the HBCUs they had the Freaknick.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's like not the same level as the other horse
race where they will put the hats somebody Kentucky Derby.
It's not a different version, but it's an important horse
race allegedly.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Okay, well, so they went to that. When they were
sitting at the table to me in this last episode,
that scene was there was so much to unpack, so
much with the new British Lady. I mean, just her
act alone adds so much to the show.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Because when you're British and you're on one of these
shows that's not British, like your accent, you're going to
fall into a track it's a.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Character in itself. And they stop her and say like
what does that mean? And it could be a normal
phrase a few times, yeah, like you know, tongue in cheek,
like you haven't heard that, but the way she says it,
it sounds like something.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It sounds totally elevated, but it's it's just a thing.
And they yeah, they've brought it up already, and it
is going to be NonStop totally because they're like what
or what the fuck are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Like huh or she says, you know, even if she
said something to Ashley like you know, don't go there
or something like that. And with the British it sounds
so elitist and snobby to these women. You know, they
live in Marylyn, do you know what I mean? It's great.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I love her so much.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I think she's an amazing addition to the show. That
scene was just we have the other new woman, Angela Massey,
whose boyfriend she's made every her husband. She's made everyone
aware that he is a ten year.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Starter played for the Denver Bronx. And she's a wag.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
She's a wag wife and girlfriends of sports players, right, So.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's a British term again, right, but she she checked
the other girl who came back, and I mean she
came in like a fucking recond.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
She was from last season, right she or does she
still season? Last season? Forgot her name? Just jazzy Jazzy
Jazzy came in like a record bull and also a wag,
a fellow wag. But her boyfriend is sort of seven
year starter.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
No, he's not a starter.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh so she should have said it, he's a seven
year rookie.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Well no, they say a bench player. Oh bench, because
but listen.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You're you're in an NFL and you don't play. You
sit on the bench.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You play, but you're not you're not a starter. Like
that's where the big money's not a star or a starter.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I get it, but that makes that seem more insulting.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I mean, so she diss them. It's like she like,
I go out with He's not Leonardo, he's not Patrick
Mahomes or Travis Kelch, but he's a part of the team,
right and he starts. So it's like saying when your
guy had a few lines.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Right, and you'd be like, there's no small lines, there's
no small actors.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
He also played on the Chiefs. They won a Super Bowl,
but she the fact that she led with that kind nice.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
To meet you. I'm a fellow wag. My husband is
ten years.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
At Okay, that was ridiculous. That's it's a frag.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It's it's a brag and no way to start a
new friendship.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, and it's not classy at all.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
She's running into a lot of troubles. I must say
this Angela.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
I'm matthy with.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Her, and that scene told me why. It's like she's
got to pull back.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
She's she's kind of walking into that.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
They do like but you know, you can't come in
with this sound bath and like, I'm I do outdoor
tykes for a living. We have a business. Like you're
sounding like you think you already think you're better than everyone,
and but these girls, that does not work.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
No, And it's so funny to me and interesting that
at this point in Housewives for new Housewives, when we
know everything about the show, and clearly, if you come
on the Housewives in twenty twenty five, you've watched the show.
Sure you have. Period.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
If you get the show, you probably watch it to
see what you got. So you haven't If you haven't
watched it like we have aggressively. You've watched consistently, you've
watched it.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
But the rookies always fall into that track every single time.
It's crazy. I will say that Stacy dealing with everything
that she's had to deal with with the Bad Breath
episode one, two and three, when she is in his
self conscious she is a piece of fucking work.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
She's fire, She's a queen housewife. This casting is brilliant.
I mean she is. She's quirky, she's funny, she's strong,
but she comes off robotic and weak and all the
opposites of those things, which makes it for her. Interviews
alone are just hilarious.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Like she don't back down either. I mean she's like
a dura cell battery. She takes a licking and keeps on.
She is just she don't go away.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
They're in the pocket. This show, I love it. I
love what's happening. But the scene at Preakness, they're all
wearing fascinators.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
What's that the hat?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yes, they're like a half a hat.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't know, it's like a big hat.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, it's like a you know, they some of them
are little, they're fascinated. I don't know. What that means.
It's I don't know what they're like.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
They're like a statement, had.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Statement hair piece of piece of a hat, and.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
They're just going, yeah, it's amazing. It's just too good.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The show is too good.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I will say that scene is so much is happening
in that scene that it needs to be rewatch studied.
And I guarantee you at either Bravo Kan or a
Bravo show, they will do that. You know, they do
theater versions, they'll do that scene totally. It's at that
level under understated drink throwing, but it was like, what's
(29:58):
going on?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
It was like a pink game of sort of like
subtle insults and they were all involved. Yes, it was excellent.
I watched it twice.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'll watch it again. And we watched but I'll let
you guys watch it on your own. Giselle and Robin
the Green Eyed Bandits podcasts breaking down what's happening currently
with Wendy. You can tell they were like, oh, bitch,
I can't Wendy Let's podcast right now.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, it was an emergency podcast for them for sure.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Did they call it or no, No, they did it.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'm just saying they had they had to get right
on it, and are you kidding me? They were waiting
to take zen Wen down, oh man.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
And you could smile through it. You could be like, well,
we're not there anymore.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, because you didn't cause it, but you and you
can't cure it. But she did it.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
So they are happy to talk. My gosh, they are
happy to talk now. They don't shit on her zen
when no, but they.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Laughed throughout the whole thing. I mean, those are the
protectives that we need. I'm telling you they They are
funny breaking down her crimes allegedly, and we are.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Team Wendy and team Happy. I want them in trouble
and we love those kids and we root for all
our housewives. But I'm not sure if some of their
castmates feel the exact.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Sy way, I would agree.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
It's fucking brutal. I mean, they're not even saying it,
and you're just like you motherfuckers are the two of
them are to imagine their text chain no and their
face tied.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I'm sure to come on, I'm sure it's gonna make
next season.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Robin's going to come back, or the phone calls.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Are gonna the text chains are somehow going to come up.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I think that Robin will come back, simply because I'm
imagining that Wendy's not going to come back.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Now really depends on how goes. I think they're going
to get out of it, That's what I think, But.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
It might not get out of it by the time
next season comes up, right Anyway, The Real Housewives of
Potomac excellent, Black Rabbit excellent, and every other thing in
