Speaker 1 (00:04):
What's up? This is Michael Rappaport a k A Mr
New York and you are now listening to the I
Am Rappaport Stereo podcast. This is an emergency podcast breaking
down every single thing that happened on the now infamous
American Airlines Flight sixteen fifty three. American Airlines Flight sixteen
(00:30):
fifty three. I'll be breaking it down with G. Moody.
Last name rhymes with duty in emergency fashion. And I
gotta say, unless you've been living under a fucking rock,
you've heard about what happened. Um, it was crazy, it
was scary. I'm a hero, okay, I'm a fucking hero.
(00:53):
Am I a humble hero? Fuck no, Am? I a
shy hero. Hell to the no Am, I a reluctant hero.
Get the funk out of here. I'm not a reluctant hero.
I'm not a bashful hero. I am a shit talking, disruptive,
potentially obnoxious hero. And that's okay. I'm not the hero
(01:17):
you asked for, but I am the only hero you got. You.
Fuck you. What a whirldwind? What a world wind? It
has been since flight six three from Houston, Texas to
l a X. We are you breaking it all down.
(01:39):
But since the flight, I gotta tell you, there's been
a few hero haters out there. That's fine, that comes
with the territory. I've been hit up by all the
news outlets. That's a fucking fact. Okay, that's a fact.
But I'm going to break it down with g. Moody.
Last name rhymes with dewey uh, as the Great Chuck
(02:02):
D said, as the Great Chuck D from Public Enemy
One said, most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps,
and of course I don't appear on any stamps yet.
But who knows what the future holds. They're talking ticker
tape parades, they're talking keys to the city, but nobody
(02:23):
knows actually what city we were flying above when the
incident on flight sixteen fifty three went down. I've been
given so many different nicknames. I do not know which
one is best. They're calling me Captain Collidis, they are
calling me Air Marshall, Mike. They think I should come
(02:46):
up with a company called Rappaport Security. And one of
the people and the people's favorite is Michael Rappaport Authority.
You get it, Michael Rappaport Authority it's all fun and games.
I got two cups of free coffee. That's a fact. Today,
two free cups of coffee at two different establishments. I
(03:08):
never got a free cup of coffee in my fucking life.
They pay full price. I have no problem with it.
Today one day, two free cups of coffee, and the
day hasn't even really begun. Okay, maybe I shouldn't be
drinking that much coffee, but it is what it is.
I'm gonna continue to accept all free cups of coffee.
(03:32):
If I'm walking through the streets of New York you
want to give me a free slice, I'll take it again.
I am not a humble hero. I am not a
shy hero. I am not a reluctant hero. I am
gonna soak this up until the fucking cows come home.
My name is Michael Rappaport a k A Mr New York,
a KA Captain Collidis a k A Air Marshall. Mike,
(03:54):

We should just jump into it, right Mr Moody, Yeah, man,
let me let me interview you. Well, I understand that
because who doesn't want to interview a hero? Take us
(06:32):
through it? All right? So if if you haven't heard
about this already, UM, I was coming back from Houston.
Of course. I was there Friday night for the Big
Three and the games where I have to say, I
think those were the best four games ever. Nate Robinson,
(06:52):
big Baby Davis are tremendous additions to the league. They
brought a lot of energy to their games. Nate Robert
and was the star of the night. It was a crazy,
crazy game. Him and Rushot McCants got into it. YadA YadA,
yad was it was great. The Big Three was great.
We uh you know, finished the games around ten pm
(07:13):
Houston time, and I had a seven am flight back
to Los Angeles. So I got to the airport. It
was a couple of Fox people, Me and my man
Mike Hill, who was one of the broadcasters. UH we
were We got some coffee and then we ran into
some other Fox guys and then we uh ran into
(07:36):
my Me and Ryan Hollins used to play over at
uh U c l a NBA duties part of the
Big Three. Ran into some foxes. Anyway, it was early
in the morning. No one was really talking. Tired at ship.
Big Baby Davis got on the plane. Baron Davis got
on the plane. UM, we were in first class. It
(07:57):
was one of these first class seats sections. It was
the first class sections that only has four uh four
in a row. So it was it was eight people
in first class. UM. Six of us were Big Three dudes.
One of the producers was sitting next to me, and
everybody was tired. This a regular flight and the sea
(08:18):
couldn't recline. I had my headphones and I knew I
wasn't gonna be able to sleep. Baron Davis was out
as soon as the flight took off. Big Baby was out.
Mike Hill and Ryan Hollands were also out. Ryan Hollands
is seven ft tall, Okay, if you don't know, he's
a bast seven ft till he was sitting right there
and about I say, about an hour into the flight.
(08:38):
I have my headphones, and the guy next to me,
who was out the whole time, he kind of like
he like wakes up and kind of jerks forward in
his seat and then he taps me. He's like, he
taps me. He's like rap rap. And I just looked like,
from where I was sitting in first class, I could
see the the exit door a little bit, I could
(08:59):
see the athroom, and I see like a guy's back
like kind of jerking at the door, at the fucking
plane door. So I mean I got out. The whole
thing happened so quick. I got up out of my seat,
half sleeping, with my headphones in my ear, and put
my hands on his shoulders, like, YO, what the funk
are you doing? He had two hands on the level.
(09:21):
And and and the question that I've gotten asked by
I am rapping Ports stereo podcast fans the most so
far about this online, and I'll answer this collectively, was
that when I first said, what the funk are you doing?
Did I do it in the day Danny Iello voice?
And I have to say, unfortunately I didn't do the
(09:44):
first what the funk are you doing? In the Danny
Iello voice because it was so surreal, like it was
such a surreal thing. So I said, what the funk
are you doing? But it wasn't even that infect It
was like it was like this, and it was loud.
It was definitely loud. I said, what the funk are
you doing? What the funk are you doing? I said
(10:05):
it three times, but like I was like, you know,
like loud, and and the second time I said, he
still had his hand on the fucking thing. And I'm like, yeah,
I mean like you know, you're half sleep and you're
seeing this and you're like in your head all this.
You're like, is this fucking happening? Like am I bugging?
And I grabbed it like the guy I had shouldern,
and I like kind of like I didn't. It wasn't like,
(10:27):
you know, you're still like should I be like, you know,
you're by a door, You're like, what the this is crazy?
And he was little, and I like, you know, not
pushed them, but sort of pained them against the the
the se thing, and then I said, what the funk
are you doing? I mean, this is happening. All about
forty five seconds, I hear like crashing and ship Baron Davis,
(10:48):
from from what I found out, woke up from a
dead sleep. He's about it about it he was. He
was by the window sleeping and he and they had
already started serving breakfast. He just I don't know how
he got out of his seat. He knocked down the
guy's ship. The ship broke, like the guy sitting next
(11:09):
to him in the aisle, he was like right behind me.
He like put his hands on the guy. Then the
then then the flight attendant who were not there for
some reason. They all got up there. And then my
man uh ted from from Fox, came from Coach. A
couple of people came from Coach. Big baby Davis got
uh got up. I mean it was like the wrong
(11:30):
plane to be fucking around with. My man Ryan got up.
He's seven ft tall. I was like goons on the
plane and one of ice cubes like door size security
dude to where he was on the plane. But he
was in the way way way back and the plane
and like you know, then the flight attendants were like
grabbed the guy and they were like what are you doing?
What are you doing? And he like the guy seemed
(11:51):
to be out of it, like because he wasn't apologizing
and he was like gesturing like he was like he
didn't speak English. He apparently it turns out he was Vietnamese,
and you know, they sat him down, they put him
in the bathroom for a second, and then and then
and then that last thing about I don't know two minutes,
and we were all like, what the funk happened? Like
(12:12):
you're adrenalist rushers like barons, like what the funk happened?
And we're all like what the f And I'm like
shaking at this point, like I'm like yeah, I'm like bugging,
like I'm like, did this ship just happen? Yo? Man,
you're so lucky man, because what if you would have
came up on him and he would have got the
door open, you'd have been sucked out of here. Yo.
That is yo. You should have you should have snuffed money, man. Yo.
(12:34):
I didn't know what to do. Like it was like
it's crazy because the guy was so little, like when
I put my hands on him, like he was a
small guy and he wasn't like resisting me, which was weird,
but he kept going at the door. Why get the
funk away from this door man out of here? You know,
I was crazy, man, It was crazy. And then they
(12:55):
sat him in his seat and we were all like yo,
and like the guy sitting next to me, like he
was he him? He said he was around the door
and I'm like half sleep and I'm looking like why
is he there? And then he started going to the
door and that's when he woke me up. And listen, uh,
some of the quotes that they said about me. I'm
not the hero that you asked for, but I'm the
(13:17):
hero that you got. I've been called the common man
who does uncommon things. Um rumor has it. And I'm
not gonna confirm or deny this moody, but they're talking statues.
A lot of things are being discussed right now. But
you know, it took us all about a half an
hour to like calm down. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't
(13:38):
fuck like every time, like the Stewart like, I was
like jumpy as fuck, and I was also tired like
my ajournaline like I stayed up the rest of the fight,
which I felt like two hours, an hour and a half, um,
you know. And then the captain came out and he
asked me what happened, and like we told him what happened.
And and then I have to say again I hate
to brag, but this is the I m wrap reports
(14:00):
stereo podcast and I feel like I'm talking to my
family here. Um uh they they everyone thanked me. Um.
Everyone did say that I was my I was brave
and I was heroic. I'm not bragging. I consider myself
a common man who does uncommon things. Um. But then
when the plane landed, uh, people were thanking me. Um
(14:22):
and and the H word was being thrown around. Gerald. Yes,
I I read that. And you you did a good thing.
You know, you show the world that Yo, the passengers
were responsible. Let the let the pilot fly. He don't
gotta worry about this ship. Anybody go to the door,
you see it, You get up, You drag him away
from the door and beat his ask if you have
to to, let motherfucker's know you're not taking my life
(14:45):
because you want some xanix or some crazy shit. Listen,
you did the right thing. They should sponsor what what
airline was that they should sponsor our whole ship mana Yo,
you potentially saved that whole aircraft. It was fucking scary
ship Like I've never been in a situation like that.
(15:07):
It was so quick, but it was it was we
were all freaked out. Yo. Uh. Let's say like hypothetically
you you walk up to him and at the time
you walk up to him, he gets the door open.
You know, all that ship every You're getting sucked out
of your life over yo. Way to handle it. Way
to be fucking um, have presence of mind and not
just look. So this to tell other people on plane, Yo,
(15:30):
when you see some wild ship, just don't look, don't
don't don't worry about the stewardess. Let them serve the drinks.
You go handle that ship man. And in all seriousness
and all seriousness, we've talked about the unfriendly skies since
last year this time when we flew to Austin and
and those incidents started happening, and you know, we made
jokes about it. We've talked about warming up on the
(15:51):
plane before you get on the plane and all the stretching.
I think because of that, Like as soon as I
saw it, like it was like there's no talking. Yeah, seconds, yo,
it's split seconds and and and I will say this,
Baron Davis, I haven't seen him make that face that
he made that I saw on his face since he
(16:12):
dunked on Andre Carolinko when he played with the Warriors.
No bullshit, yo. He woke up from a dead fucking sleep,
like dead ass like he was. He had a pillow.
And I'm not talking about an airplane pillow. Baron Davis
had a pillow pillow and he was out into and
when and then Big Baby David, luckily be I'm just
(16:34):
gonna say this right now. Luckily Big Baby Davis didn't
get to him before I did because he's on some
other ship. He would literally eating that motherfucker like you
can't stop baby, yo. Anybody in the sound of my
voice that even thinks about going for that cockpit door
or the other door, yo, as a passenger, I have
(16:56):
every right to rip your ass from limb to limb
because my life. You can't play with my life. I
got daughters, You've got kids. Fucking what what you doing
at that door? Man? Get the funk up, yo, Way
to go rap or Baron Davis with the South Central sensibilities,
Big Baby Davis, all them dudes. Man, But you did it,
you saw it and you went right away because if
(17:18):
you didn't, money would have probably got that ship open.
Yeah yeah, yeah, I think so. And you know where
we landed. We we we had to wait at the
gate for twenty minutes. The the the the security came
and and I don't know who they were. They asked
me question. I kept him moving. They had all my information.
I kept them moving. We got off. We were just
(17:38):
still jittery. Um and and it was what it was.
And I have to say, um uh this my heroic acts.
Uh and being dubbed the white Wesley snipes, um. It
made me think about stallone in Rambo because you know
he used us a coming man and he uh did
(17:59):
you know, and you know he's just like, I'm a
guy and he's you know, I mean, I I imagined
if if if if Rambo uh Rambo, Rappaport had to
deal with the press because I haven't know. This is
again no bullshit, because I'm talking to us the fans,
and you guys I am Rapports stereo podcast fans, you know,
(18:19):
like especially the premium guys that were here in this first.
You guys to me like, no bullshit. We've I've gotten
phone calls from different press people and the last shop,
I was like, if if we're gonna save this for anybody,
this has to go to our premium people. Um so
this is the first I'm explaining the story. Um But
but if Rambo was explaining the story, or a version
(18:42):
of Rambo was explaining the story, I think he would
say something, uh like this. I'm just a man. I'm uh.
I'm a man who minds his business, a little little
regular life and a quiet life. I didn't want any
of this. I didn't choose any of this. Just the
(19:05):
guy like talking much. I gotta say one thing I
will say is things ain't been the same since we
got back from Shanghai. As you know. Sometimes, uh, sometimes
I think I hear Johnny talking to me. Wait, wait,
who the fund is it? Johnny? And sometimes I think
I hear him talking to me. Johnny. Johnny was my
(19:28):
platoon mate. He was a great man. I never met
anyone like Johnny. It was me and Johnny in the bush.
It was me and Johnny in the bush. I came home.
Johnny didn't. When I came back from Shanghai. I came back, Johnny,
didn't nobody call me a hero? Then call me a hero? Now,
(19:49):
ain't your hero? My life stinks. This whole town stinks
talking about heroes. Everybody's asking me why I did what
I did. I did what I had to do. I
did what I was trained to do. I did what
Johnny would have done. I did what Johnny would have done. Again,
(20:12):
who the fund is Johnny? Johnny was a hero, he
was a real hero. Oh you maggot's calling me asking
me questions. You don't know what it's like. You don't
know what it's like where I came from. I hear
his voice sometime. Everybody's asking me questions. You want a
(20:34):
piece of me, you want a piece of my soul?
Come on and Jacob, take what's left of it. That
is well, my soul ripping out, ripped my soul out
in the field. We had honor back here. We got nothing.
I got nothing. I ain't got nothing. I ain't got Johnny,
I got nothing. Where's Johnny Man? I don't want to
(20:57):
talk to you people no more so that that's how
I had I envisioned. Uh the press conference, Um, you
know what? All right? Let's talk about the Vietnamese cat
what what? What did he have to say for himself?
Did he have anything to say after the plane landed?
Did he say anything like, YO, pardon me, that's I
gotta be honest. The thing that bugged me out was
(21:20):
that he wasn't coherent. No, he wasn't like apologizing like
when when I mean he got dudes yelling at him. Now,
Like I said, I didn't do it in the yellow voice.
I did it in my voice, in my half sleeping
and genuinely scared voice. Now, some people said to me,
(21:42):
fans of the Iron Rappers stereo podcast, aside from Rambo,
uh uh, what would have Viello said? What the funk
are you doing? Get your fucking ends off the fucking door,
get the fun yello with a cold cock. I'll break
your fucking ahead. Hit him over the head with a
(22:02):
fucking class stop his fucking head out by buster. Look
that cock sucking in the bathroom, baby, get the fucking duck.
Take don't let him go, duck tape him to the
fucking seat. Could you imagine if I Hello would have
(22:22):
been on the plane. Oh man, you know, homeboy was
for self. He didn't have his wife was for self,
he was by himself. He was there by himself, and
money was on some bullshit man. And you know, we
we've been talking about of course we now have to
do the best of the unfriendly skuys. We have been
talking about the unfriendly skies and flying and and no bullshit.
(22:43):
Just like we said, if you're not flying coast to
coast and this was this was a long flight, but
it was Houston to l a X. If you're not
flying coast to coast, that is when all this bullshit starts.
That's when all this bullshit happens. It's always a man
on a plane from Ohio, you Phoenix, It's always a
man on a plane from Florida to Georgia. It's always
(23:05):
at Alabama to Tulsa. It's it's never that east coast
west coast flight that it seems to happen. And I
don't wish it on anybody. Scared the ship out of me.
But we have been talking about the unfriendly skies. And
it's crazy because just the other day I was talking
about how T s A died and how T s
A was a ship show, right yo. And they should change.
(23:27):
The captain should come out and make his announcement before
the flight leaves and be like, Yo, the doors are
over here, blah blah blah. If anyone of y'all get
up and try to go at one of these doors
I have given, I have deputized all the passengers to
whoop your ass, and then we'll tend to you when
we get when we land. But if you you're taking
(23:50):
a risk because I got all these people to come
rip you from limb to limb because I can't see
what's going on. And and now that we're doing the
Iron Rapp Reports Stereo podcast store, we're flying all summer.
It's gonna change the dynamic of those flights because when
you see me on the plane, now, first of all,
salute me, dude, salute me, duke. I want that respect,
(24:10):
funk that I'm I'm yo, Yo, I want my motherfucking respect. Okay,
people making funny because I'm scared of coyotes and scared
of cats. What's gucci, You see how I get down.
I see what's I'm getting. I'm getting. I'm getting on
behind you chest neck it just to let motherfucker's know
this is how I'm flying on the plane. Be Yo,
(24:31):
you gotta do it. Yeah, because they don't go to
the door if you look crazy. They're like, Yo, he's
gonna come, he's gonna get me. We gotta you gotta
go on the plane looking menacing. Yes, we're gonna grease
up before we get on the plane. We've we've been
saying this for a year and it's just crazy that
it culminated with this Kim both slice. I'm gonna have
(24:52):
that outfit yep, the outfit. Where's jeans and no shirt?
And you should get a mouthpiece yep, and do rag
a red do rag and let my chest hair grow. Yeah,
let it grow, and grease that ship up. Nice, but
don't don't don't groom it, just grease it. Yeah, let
it nap up. So anyway, uh, that happened that that's
(25:13):
totally real, Thank God was safe. It was crazy something
that I sure any none of us will never forget.
And since we're doing an emergency podcast, I just wanted
to do a quick discussion um one of the great
hip hop albums of all time, A game changing hip
hop album, game changing, a record by a game changing
(25:36):
m C who I believe was nineteen at the time
that he put it out. Long Live the Cane by
the Hall of Fame. Uh needs no introduction. Big Daddy
Cane turned thirty years old the other day, thirty years
old since Long Live the Cane came out. And I'll
just riff on this, and I know, Moody, uh, you know,
(25:58):
have a lot to say about this, because I know,
personally I share memories of you and me watching Video
Music Box and watching that Ain't No Half Stepping video
in my father's crib, you know, uh, watching it and
like catching it, like you know, sometimes you catch it
midway through. Sometimes you catch it all the way through,
(26:19):
you catching on your MTV raps or wherever. But I
know on Video Music Box that was something. And Big
Daddy came at the time, I mean with School Lover
and Scrap Lover and that that that sample from Ain't
No Half Stepping and that whole record, the Royal Remix,
the just Rhyming with Bigs song, the Words of the Motherland,
(26:40):
and and his whole style and the way he flowed
and he would go fast and his word play. I mean,
without Big Daddy came and without Long Lived the Cane,
there is no jay Z the Rapper. He'll be the
first to tell you that. Yeah, you know yo. First
thing you know you notice about that album and and
(27:00):
back in the days, it's just that brother had talent.
You know what I'm saying, Like, if you can hear
pure talent, this is eight dropped eight yo, just pure talent,
word a word Smith, crispdiction rocking the Mike good beats.
(27:20):
It was very simple. It came out. Everybody loved it.
I had it rocking on the Walkman because you know,
Walkman all the time, Man Brooklyn do best stop. Of
course man, this is like icon and in music, Big
Daddy King. So of course we we we love that album. Man,
just talent and the talent. And you know the thing
about is he mixed the consciousness. He makes the fun.
(27:43):
He mixed just the bullshit and you're like, you know,
like the just rhyming with this song is just a
bull like that that's not like a song. That's just
like them freestyle and bullshitting around. Um, you know. And
then the King age he was dropping knowledge. It was
like you don't have to just be one thing. And
like his voice, and then he had you know, you know,
like the dark skinned sex symbol ship and he was
(28:04):
talking about that and I mean the Raw remix Raw
R A W is That ship is Hall of Fame.
That's that's, that's everything. Even if you didn't like hip
hop or you didn't know about rap music and you
put that on, you put raw on, and you put
stuff like that on, you could you could appreciate the talent,
(28:25):
the breath control flowing with the beat, all that, all
the grabbing words, all that stuff. You can appreciate that.
This is why these guys are revered now as time
moves on, because you appreciate it in comparison to what
we have today. Yeah, I agree. And you know somebody
posted a thing with like the records that came out
(28:45):
in just ten records, and I saw it um aside
from a no half stepping with which came out in
time to set it straight word, I'm ready the public
enemy Enemy record Ultramagnetic MC's critical beat Down Straight out
(29:06):
of Compton, which was obviously that doesn't need no introduction.
Jungle Brothers Straight Out the Jungle one of my favorite
records of all time. Children's Story by Slick Rick booge
Out Productions by any Means necessary, E p M D.
Strictly Business, Eric being Rock Kim's record came out um
Uh Follow the Leader, and even uh Uh, DJ Jazzy
(29:30):
Jeff and the Fresh Prints better known now as Will Smith.
All this came out in one year. So when you
hear us complaining and you hear us saying our standards
are high, don't blame us blame because I take those
ten records that I just named and put them against
anything that's been released in last fifteen years, and I
(29:50):
guarantee you those ten records stand up against anything. And
you notice it's all different. They're all varieties now everybody,
everybody's the same. It's all varieties. Day La day Las
Soul was in that in that thing too, so damn
it's it's it's a and we we're missing so many. Yeah,
that's just ten right, and we're not checking. We're not
(30:11):
breaking the rule number one of the Iron Reports Stereo,
but we're not fact checking. And none of that ship
was mainstream, right And aside from aside from um Uh
well n W A was cursing a lot and a
slick rick. You know, he was in and out of
Curry because he was playing around. The majority of these
records have very like E. P. M. D had to.
I mean they're not vulgar, you know, n w A.
(30:32):
Obviously they were. They changed the whole game. But these
are not like you know, records you can't sake, yeah,
cursing for the sake of cursing. It's not like that
back in the days in eighty nine, eighty seven, all
that stuff. It was just like totally different. But Yo,
like I said, I don't hate on these new dudes.
I'm just saying in comparison, Yo, my standard is is
(30:56):
fly rhymes, man and funky beats. I'll never get off
that either me neither. Um. All right, well, Miles, um
take us out of the show here with a little
raw big Daddy Kane underneath here. Um, I just want

Am I a humble hero? Fuck no, Am? I a
shy hero. Hell to the no Am, I a reluctant hero.
Get the funk out of here. I'm not a reluctant hero.

has been since flight six three from Houston, Texas to

and of course I don't appear on any stamps yet.
But who knows what the future holds. They're talking ticker
tape parades, they're talking keys to the city, but nobody
(02:23):
knows actually what city we were flying above when the
incident on flight sixteen fifty three went down. I've been
given so many different nicknames. I do not know which
one is best. They're calling me Captain Collidis, they are
calling me Air Marshall, Mike. They think I should come

about this already, UM, I was coming back from Houston.
Of course. I was there Friday night for the Big
Three and the games where I have to say, I
think those were the best four games ever. Nate Robinson,
(06:52):
big Baby Davis are tremendous additions to the league. They
brought a lot of energy to their games. Nate Robert
and was the star of the night. It was a crazy,
crazy game. Him and Rushot McCants got into it. YadA YadA,
yad was it was great. The Big Three was great.
We uh you know, finished the games around ten pm
(07:13):
Houston time, and I had a seven am flight back
to Los Angeles. So I got to the airport. It
was a couple of Fox people, Me and my man
Mike Hill, who was one of the broadcasters. UH we
were We got some coffee and then we ran into
some other Fox guys and then we uh ran into
(07:36):
my Me and Ryan Hollins used to play over at
uh U c l a NBA duties part of the
Big Three. Ran into some foxes. Anyway, it was early
in the morning. No one was really talking. Tired at ship.
Big Baby Davis got on the plane. Baron Davis got
on the plane. UM, we were in first class. It
(07:57):
was one of these first class seats sections. It was
the first class sections that only has four uh four
in a row. So it was it was eight people
in first class. UM. Six of us were Big Three dudes.
One of the producers was sitting next to me, and
everybody was tired. This a regular flight and the sea
(08:18):
couldn't recline. I had my headphones and I knew I
wasn't gonna be able to sleep. Baron Davis was out
as soon as the flight took off. Big Baby was out.
Mike Hill and Ryan Hollands were also out. Ryan Hollands
is seven ft tall, Okay, if you don't know, he's
a bast seven ft till he was sitting right there
and about I say, about an hour into the flight.
(08:38):
I have my headphones, and the guy next to me,
who was out the whole time, he kind of like
he like wakes up and kind of jerks forward in
his seat and then he taps me. He's like, he
taps me. He's like rap rap. And I just looked like,
from where I was sitting in first class, I could
see the the exit door a little bit, I could
(08:59):
see the athroom, and I see like a guy's back
like kind of jerking at the door, at the fucking
plane door. So I mean I got out. The whole
thing happened so quick. I got up out of my seat,
half sleeping, with my headphones in my ear, and put
my hands on his shoulders, like, YO, what the funk
are you doing? He had two hands on the level.
(09:21):
And and and the question that I've gotten asked by
I am rapping Ports stereo podcast fans the most so
far about this online, and I'll answer this collectively, was
that when I first said, what the funk are you doing?
Did I do it in the day Danny Iello voice?
And I have to say, unfortunately I didn't do the
(09:44):
first what the funk are you doing? In the Danny
Iello voice because it was so surreal, like it was
such a surreal thing. So I said, what the funk
are you doing? But it wasn't even that infect It
was like it was like this, and it was loud.
It was definitely loud. I said, what the funk are
you doing? What the funk are you doing? I said
(10:05):
it three times, but like I was like, you know,
like loud, and and the second time I said, he
still had his hand on the fucking thing. And I'm like, yeah,
I mean like you know, you're half sleep and you're
seeing this and you're like in your head all this.
You're like, is this fucking happening? Like am I bugging?
And I grabbed it like the guy I had shouldern,
and I like kind of like I didn't. It wasn't like,
(10:27):
you know, you're still like should I be like, you know,
you're by a door, You're like, what the this is crazy?
And he was little, and I like, you know, not
pushed them, but sort of pained them against the the
the se thing, and then I said, what the funk
are you doing? I mean, this is happening. All about
forty five seconds, I hear like crashing and ship Baron Davis,
(10:48):
from from what I found out, woke up from a
dead sleep. He's about it about it he was. He
was by the window sleeping and he and they had
already started serving breakfast. He just I don't know how
he got out of his seat. He knocked down the
guy's ship. The ship broke, like the guy sitting next
(11:09):
to him in the aisle, he was like right behind me.
He like put his hands on the guy. Then the
then then the flight attendant who were not there for
some reason. They all got up there. And then my
man uh ted from from Fox, came from Coach. A
couple of people came from Coach. Big baby Davis got
uh got up. I mean it was like the wrong
(11:30):
plane to be fucking around with. My man Ryan got up.
He's seven ft tall. I was like goons on the
plane and one of ice cubes like door size security
dude to where he was on the plane. But he
was in the way way way back and the plane
and like you know, then the flight attendants were like
grabbed the guy and they were like what are you doing?
What are you doing? And he like the guy seemed
(11:51):
to be out of it, like because he wasn't apologizing
and he was like gesturing like he was like he
didn't speak English. He apparently it turns out he was Vietnamese,
and you know, they sat him down, they put him
in the bathroom for a second, and then and then
and then that last thing about I don't know two minutes,
and we were all like, what the funk happened? Like
(12:12):
you're adrenalist rushers like barons, like what the funk happened?
And we're all like what the f And I'm like
shaking at this point, like I'm like yeah, I'm like bugging,
like I'm like, did this ship just happen? Yo? Man,
you're so lucky man, because what if you would have
came up on him and he would have got the
door open, you'd have been sucked out of here. Yo.
That is yo. You should have you should have snuffed money, man. Yo.
(12:34):
I didn't know what to do. Like it was like
it's crazy because the guy was so little, like when
I put my hands on him, like he was a
small guy and he wasn't like resisting me, which was weird,
but he kept going at the door. Why get the
funk away from this door man out of here? You know,
I was crazy, man, It was crazy. And then they
(12:55):
sat him in his seat and we were all like yo,
and like the guy sitting next to me, like he
was he him? He said he was around the door
and I'm like half sleep and I'm looking like why
is he there? And then he started going to the
door and that's when he woke me up. And listen, uh,
some of the quotes that they said about me. I'm
not the hero that you asked for, but I'm the
(13:17):
hero that you got. I've been called the common man
who does uncommon things. Um rumor has it. And I'm
not gonna confirm or deny this moody, but they're talking statues.
A lot of things are being discussed right now. But
you know, it took us all about a half an
hour to like calm down. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't
(13:38):
fuck like every time, like the Stewart like, I was
like jumpy as fuck, and I was also tired like
my ajournaline like I stayed up the rest of the fight,
which I felt like two hours, an hour and a half, um,
you know. And then the captain came out and he
asked me what happened, and like we told him what happened.
And and then I have to say again I hate
to brag, but this is the I m wrap reports
(14:00):
stereo podcast and I feel like I'm talking to my
family here. Um uh they they everyone thanked me. Um.
Everyone did say that I was my I was brave
and I was heroic. I'm not bragging. I consider myself
a common man who does uncommon things. Um. But then
when the plane landed, uh, people were thanking me. Um
(14:22):
and and the H word was being thrown around. Gerald. Yes,
I I read that. And you you did a good thing.
You know, you show the world that Yo, the passengers
were responsible. Let the let the pilot fly. He don't
gotta worry about this ship. Anybody go to the door,
you see it, You get up, You drag him away
from the door and beat his ask if you have
to to, let motherfucker's know you're not taking my life
(14:45):
because you want some xanix or some crazy shit. Listen,
you did the right thing. They should sponsor what what
airline was that they should sponsor our whole ship mana Yo,
you potentially saved that whole aircraft. It was fucking scary
ship Like I've never been in a situation like that.
(15:07):
It was so quick, but it was it was we
were all freaked out. Yo. Uh. Let's say like hypothetically
you you walk up to him and at the time
you walk up to him, he gets the door open.
You know, all that ship every You're getting sucked out
of your life over yo. Way to handle it. Way
to be fucking um, have presence of mind and not
just look. So this to tell other people on plane, Yo,
(15:30):
when you see some wild ship, just don't look, don't
don't don't worry about the stewardess. Let them serve the drinks.
You go handle that ship man. And in all seriousness
and all seriousness, we've talked about the unfriendly skies since
last year this time when we flew to Austin and
and those incidents started happening, and you know, we made
jokes about it. We've talked about warming up on the
(15:51):
plane before you get on the plane and all the stretching.
I think because of that, Like as soon as I
saw it, like it was like there's no talking. Yeah, seconds, yo,
it's split seconds and and and I will say this,
Baron Davis, I haven't seen him make that face that
he made that I saw on his face since he
(16:12):
dunked on Andre Carolinko when he played with the Warriors.
No bullshit, yo. He woke up from a dead fucking sleep,
like dead ass like he was. He had a pillow.
And I'm not talking about an airplane pillow. Baron Davis
had a pillow pillow and he was out into and
when and then Big Baby David, luckily be I'm just
(16:34):
gonna say this right now. Luckily Big Baby Davis didn't
get to him before I did because he's on some
other ship. He would literally eating that motherfucker like you
can't stop baby, yo. Anybody in the sound of my
voice that even thinks about going for that cockpit door
or the other door, yo, as a passenger, I have
(16:56):
every right to rip your ass from limb to limb
because my life. You can't play with my life. I
got daughters, You've got kids. Fucking what what you doing
at that door? Man? Get the funk up, yo, Way
to go rap or Baron Davis with the South Central sensibilities,
Big Baby Davis, all them dudes. Man, But you did it,
you saw it and you went right away because if
(17:18):
you didn't, money would have probably got that ship open.
Yeah yeah, yeah, I think so. And you know where
we landed. We we we had to wait at the
gate for twenty minutes. The the the the security came
and and I don't know who they were. They asked
me question. I kept him moving. They had all my information.
I kept them moving. We got off. We were just
(17:38):
still jittery. Um and and it was what it was.
And I have to say, um uh this my heroic acts.
Uh and being dubbed the white Wesley snipes, um. It
made me think about stallone in Rambo because you know
he used us a coming man and he uh did
(17:59):
you know, and you know he's just like, I'm a
guy and he's you know, I mean, I I imagined
if if if if Rambo uh Rambo, Rappaport had to
deal with the press because I haven't know. This is
again no bullshit, because I'm talking to us the fans,
and you guys I am Rapports stereo podcast fans, you know,
(18:19):
like especially the premium guys that were here in this first.
You guys to me like, no bullshit. We've I've gotten
phone calls from different press people and the last shop,
I was like, if if we're gonna save this for anybody,
this has to go to our premium people. Um so
this is the first I'm explaining the story. Um But
but if Rambo was explaining the story, or a version
(18:42):
of Rambo was explaining the story, I think he would
say something, uh like this. I'm just a man. I'm uh.
I'm a man who minds his business, a little little
regular life and a quiet life. I didn't want any
of this. I didn't choose any of this. Just the
(19:05):
guy like talking much. I gotta say one thing I
will say is things ain't been the same since we
got back from Shanghai. As you know. Sometimes, uh, sometimes
I think I hear Johnny talking to me. Wait, wait,
who the fund is it? Johnny? And sometimes I think
I hear him talking to me. Johnny. Johnny was my
(19:28):
platoon mate. He was a great man. I never met
anyone like Johnny. It was me and Johnny in the bush.
It was me and Johnny in the bush. I came home.
Johnny didn't. When I came back from Shanghai. I came back, Johnny,
didn't nobody call me a hero? Then call me a hero? Now,
(19:49):
ain't your hero? My life stinks. This whole town stinks
talking about heroes. Everybody's asking me why I did what
I did. I did what I had to do. I
did what I was trained to do. I did what
Johnny would have done. I did what Johnny would have done. Again,
(20:12):
who the fund is Johnny? Johnny was a hero, he
was a real hero. Oh you maggot's calling me asking
me questions. You don't know what it's like. You don't
know what it's like where I came from. I hear
his voice sometime. Everybody's asking me questions. You want a
(20:34):
piece of me, you want a piece of my soul?
Come on and Jacob, take what's left of it. That
is well, my soul ripping out, ripped my soul out
in the field. We had honor back here. We got nothing.
I got nothing. I ain't got nothing. I ain't got Johnny,
I got nothing. Where's Johnny Man? I don't want to
(20:57):
talk to you people no more so that that's how
I had I envisioned. Uh the press conference, Um, you
know what? All right? Let's talk about the Vietnamese cat
what what? What did he have to say for himself?
Did he have anything to say after the plane landed?
Did he say anything like, YO, pardon me, that's I
gotta be honest. The thing that bugged me out was
(21:20):
that he wasn't coherent. No, he wasn't like apologizing like
when when I mean he got dudes yelling at him. Now,
Like I said, I didn't do it in the yellow voice.
I did it in my voice, in my half sleeping
and genuinely scared voice. Now, some people said to me,
(21:42):
fans of the Iron Rappers stereo podcast, aside from Rambo,
uh uh, what would have Viello said? What the funk
are you doing? Get your fucking ends off the fucking door,
get the fun yello with a cold cock. I'll break
your fucking ahead. Hit him over the head with a
(22:02):
fucking class stop his fucking head out by buster. Look
that cock sucking in the bathroom, baby, get the fucking duck.
Take don't let him go, duck tape him to the
fucking seat. Could you imagine if I Hello would have
(22:22):
been on the plane. Oh man, you know, homeboy was
for self. He didn't have his wife was for self,
he was by himself. He was there by himself, and
money was on some bullshit man. And you know, we
we've been talking about of course we now have to
do the best of the unfriendly skuys. We have been
talking about the unfriendly skies and flying and and no bullshit.
(22:43):
Just like we said, if you're not flying coast to
coast and this was this was a long flight, but
it was Houston to l a X. If you're not
flying coast to coast, that is when all this bullshit starts.
That's when all this bullshit happens. It's always a man
on a plane from Ohio, you Phoenix, It's always a
man on a plane from Florida to Georgia. It's always
(23:05):
at Alabama to Tulsa. It's it's never that east coast
west coast flight that it seems to happen. And I
don't wish it on anybody. Scared the ship out of me.
But we have been talking about the unfriendly skies. And
it's crazy because just the other day I was talking
about how T s A died and how T s
A was a ship show, right yo. And they should change.
(23:27):
The captain should come out and make his announcement before
the flight leaves and be like, Yo, the doors are
over here, blah blah blah. If anyone of y'all get
up and try to go at one of these doors
I have given, I have deputized all the passengers to
whoop your ass, and then we'll tend to you when
we get when we land. But if you you're taking
(23:50):
a risk because I got all these people to come
rip you from limb to limb because I can't see
what's going on. And and now that we're doing the
Iron Rapp Reports Stereo podcast store, we're flying all summer.
It's gonna change the dynamic of those flights because when
you see me on the plane, now, first of all,
salute me, dude, salute me, duke. I want that respect,
(24:10):
funk that I'm I'm yo, Yo, I want my motherfucking respect. Okay,
people making funny because I'm scared of coyotes and scared
of cats. What's gucci, You see how I get down.
I see what's I'm getting. I'm getting. I'm getting on
behind you chest neck it just to let motherfucker's know
this is how I'm flying on the plane. Be Yo,
(24:31):
you gotta do it. Yeah, because they don't go to
the door if you look crazy. They're like, Yo, he's
gonna come, he's gonna get me. We gotta you gotta
go on the plane looking menacing. Yes, we're gonna grease
up before we get on the plane. We've we've been
saying this for a year and it's just crazy that
it culminated with this Kim both slice. I'm gonna have
(24:52):
that outfit yep, the outfit. Where's jeans and no shirt?
And you should get a mouthpiece yep, and do rag
a red do rag and let my chest hair grow. Yeah,
let it grow, and grease that ship up. Nice, but
don't don't don't groom it, just grease it. Yeah, let
it nap up. So anyway, uh, that happened that that's
(25:13):
totally real, Thank God was safe. It was crazy something
that I sure any none of us will never forget.
And since we're doing an emergency podcast, I just wanted
to do a quick discussion um one of the great
hip hop albums of all time, A game changing hip
hop album, game changing, a record by a game changing
(25:36):
m C who I believe was nineteen at the time
that he put it out. Long Live the Cane by
the Hall of Fame. Uh needs no introduction. Big Daddy
Cane turned thirty years old the other day, thirty years
old since Long Live the Cane came out. And I'll
just riff on this, and I know, Moody, uh, you know,
(25:58):
have a lot to say about this, because I know,
personally I share memories of you and me watching Video
Music Box and watching that Ain't No Half Stepping video
in my father's crib, you know, uh, watching it and
like catching it, like you know, sometimes you catch it
midway through. Sometimes you catch it all the way through,
(26:19):
you catching on your MTV raps or wherever. But I
know on Video Music Box that was something. And Big
Daddy came at the time, I mean with School Lover
and Scrap Lover and that that that sample from Ain't
No Half Stepping and that whole record, the Royal Remix,
the just Rhyming with Bigs song, the Words of the Motherland,
(26:40):
and and his whole style and the way he flowed
and he would go fast and his word play. I mean,
without Big Daddy came and without Long Lived the Cane,
there is no jay Z the Rapper. He'll be the
first to tell you that. Yeah, you know yo. First
thing you know you notice about that album and and
(27:00):
back in the days, it's just that brother had talent.
You know what I'm saying, Like, if you can hear
pure talent, this is eight dropped eight yo, just pure talent,
word a word Smith, crispdiction rocking the Mike good beats.
(27:20):
It was very simple. It came out. Everybody loved it.
I had it rocking on the Walkman because you know,
Walkman all the time, Man Brooklyn do best stop. Of
course man, this is like icon and in music, Big
Daddy King. So of course we we we love that album. Man,
just talent and the talent. And you know the thing
about is he mixed the consciousness. He makes the fun.
(27:43):
He mixed just the bullshit and you're like, you know,
like the just rhyming with this song is just a
bull like that that's not like a song. That's just
like them freestyle and bullshitting around. Um, you know. And
then the King age he was dropping knowledge. It was
like you don't have to just be one thing. And
like his voice, and then he had you know, you know,
like the dark skinned sex symbol ship and he was
(28:04):
talking about that and I mean the Raw remix Raw
R A W is That ship is Hall of Fame.
That's that's, that's everything. Even if you didn't like hip
hop or you didn't know about rap music and you
put that on, you put raw on, and you put
stuff like that on, you could you could appreciate the talent,
(28:25):
the breath control flowing with the beat, all that, all
the grabbing words, all that stuff. You can appreciate that.
This is why these guys are revered now as time
moves on, because you appreciate it in comparison to what
we have today. Yeah, I agree. And you know somebody
posted a thing with like the records that came out
(28:45):
in just ten records, and I saw it um aside
from a no half stepping with which came out in
time to set it straight word, I'm ready the public
enemy Enemy record Ultramagnetic MC's critical beat Down Straight out
(29:06):
of Compton, which was obviously that doesn't need no introduction.
Jungle Brothers Straight Out the Jungle one of my favorite
records of all time. Children's Story by Slick Rick booge
Out Productions by any Means necessary, E p M D.
Strictly Business, Eric being Rock Kim's record came out um
Uh Follow the Leader, and even uh Uh, DJ Jazzy
(29:30):
Jeff and the Fresh Prints better known now as Will Smith.
All this came out in one year. So when you
hear us complaining and you hear us saying our standards
are high, don't blame us blame because I take those
ten records that I just named and put them against
anything that's been released in last fifteen years, and I
(29:50):
guarantee you those ten records stand up against anything. And
you notice it's all different. They're all varieties now everybody,
everybody's the same. It's all varieties. Day La day Las
Soul was in that in that thing too, so damn
it's it's it's a and we we're missing so many. Yeah,
that's just ten right, and we're not checking. We're not
(30:11):
breaking the rule number one of the Iron Reports Stereo,
but we're not fact checking. And none of that ship
was mainstream, right And aside from aside from um Uh
well n W A was cursing a lot and a
slick rick. You know, he was in and out of
Curry because he was playing around. The majority of these
records have very like E. P. M. D had to.
I mean they're not vulgar, you know, n w A.
(30:32):
Obviously they were. They changed the whole game. But these
are not like you know, records you can't sake, yeah,
cursing for the sake of cursing. It's not like that
back in the days in eighty nine, eighty seven, all
that stuff. It was just like totally different. But Yo,
like I said, I don't hate on these new dudes.
I'm just saying in comparison, Yo, my standard is is
(30:56):
fly rhymes, man and funky beats. I'll never get off
that either me neither. Um. All right, well, Miles, um
take us out of the show here with a little
raw big Daddy Kane underneath here. Um, I just want
to say shout out to all the guys that were
on that plane. Uh, Ryan Hollins. I've heard from some
(31:17):
people that were actually on the plane that I don't
know because it's been all over the news. Baron Davis,
my man, Mike Hill, of course Big Baby Davis, all
the Fox people. Uh, that was something that we will
never forget. Um. This is Michael rapport A k the

of days to do that. I want to make sure

Let case money because I get bored, reach like a
(32:27):
proper man rap sauce suffering it in my lifetime. Believe
I've never been beaten or eating and Jeff took it out,
you know, come to think about it, keeping seas looking
out and real nervous when I'm at your service. To
give me that title for it, you know, what the surface.
I work like a slave to become a math. And
when I say your bomb, you know that in halflow
you perfectly fitted. Because I'm committed to entertainer and trainer
and came or get witted. I going all over the rod.
(32:49):
Don't let you know why damage you. I'm not an amateur.
What a professional? A question? Or without thousand birth so
full of aption. My name should be a bird. My
voice will float on every You know when to claim
my throat. That's all she wrote. You minute that the
cane starts to go on, Believe it's gonna be smooth sailing.
So on as I put other rappers out of their miseraby,
get them in a battle and make the more. It
(33:10):
will be ruling and schooling. And sees that I'm douling
watching more take a ball. As I sit down cooling

good
