Michael Rapaport

do I do?

Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me.

Thank you very much for having me. I am excited to be here. I'm waiting for my coffee. Yeah. One of your minions. Because I want to just clarify. Because I wanted to be on time. We appreciate that. You were early. And the reason why I was early is because I produced, I texted one of your producers. I mean, this is a big fucking operation you got here.

This is not, it doesn't look, on camera, it doesn't look like a big operation. I mean, it looks like a clean, but you walk in, there's people. But I texted, I said, yo, I'm coming, I'm on the way, in an Uber, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Can I get a coffee? And then I was very specific about the Trenti and the two pumps of vanilla and the box. I reached out and I said that.

And then when I got here, one of your minions said, do you really want the coffee? Like I was... A different minion, though. A joke. Like it was a joke. Fucking just throwing it out there. Like a suggestion. And I'm still waiting for it. But I just thought that was very funny. Very, very much of the generation. Do you really want... Yeah, motherfucker.

I really want that fucking coffee with the two pumps of vanilla and the regular milk. And I even said, make sure they get me the big straw because the Trenti...

We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. We'll judge it by the hourglass of the podcast. I hope it's right. I hope it's right. I'm sure it'll be right, but I just thought that was very funny. But I'm glad to be here, happy to be here, excited to be here.

What brings me to town is meeting, greeting, family, and that sort of stuff. It's L.A., you know what I mean? It's show business. You got to... You got to come out to town every now and then. Where do you live? In New York? I live in New York. I lived out here. Well, I had a place out here. I lived out here for a long time. And then I finally left. I have no residence here.

So it's unusual for me to take Ubers and stuff like that because- I so many years, I mean, I learned to drive in Los Angeles and, and I learned my sort of, you know, way around, um, Los Angeles, you know, from driving. So now to be driven, it's, it's a little unusual, but.

On 3rd.

Is there a Jones on 3rd on Ventura? And it's called Jones on 3rd?

I didn't know that. Yeah, in the Valley. That's good to know. That is good to know. I didn't even know that. But I like Jones. I like the food. I like the Arnold Palmer. I like the Beyonce. Yeah, I love that. I like the cookie if you're feeling feisty. And I like the outdoor seating. And I've always liked Jones.

I particularly appreciated Jones during the pandemic because they set up their outdoor seating and they had a good situation going. So Jones is a good spot. I haven't hit Jones yet.

Chinese chicken salad. Chinese chicken salad. I mean, they got some, you know, I like Jones. I got some, I like Jones. Jones is good. Jones is good.

It's usually Scandavoler.

Usually when I see it starts, it's like... Right into it? Yeah. Kind of depends on our guests.

This is my day two since Luigi. Now, since his era, it'd be two or three days since Luigi has been nabbed. Captured. Captured. He wanted to get caught. Oh, no, he didn't want to get caught. You don't think so? I think he knew he was going to get caught. This is my hot take. I think Luigi's addicted to pain medication, number one, because he's got his back injury. I think Luigi's a sick fuck.

Number one, two, and three. I don't give a fuck if you have. Can I curse? Yes, please.

After evil.

I didn't want to... Well, I know you got to beep it because of the clips. Well, the clips will be beeped.

Luigi's a sick fuck. Luigi's a cold-blooded killer. Luigi's got a nice jawline.

Yeah. Yeah. And Luigi's got nice hair. And Luigi's the cold-blooded killer, if in fact it's him. And I think it is him. And I don't think, despite the fact that the healthcare industry is problematic, I don't think it's acceptable...

to literally dehumanize everybody and anybody who's a part of the healthcare establishment, healthcare world, profiting off of it to dehumanize them and celebrate cold-blooded killing in America.

my city or any city, because I think that when you start dehumanizing and celebrating cold-blooded killers, despite whatever feelings you might have about what the person does, it's a trickle-down effect. And I don't want to go too deep into... That's my take on it. I hear what you're saying. You know what I'm saying?

Because if it's just like, oh, well, fuck the guy, you know, and fuck him, and this is what he did, and he profited off of this, and then we're free Luigi, and we're sending our underwear to Luigi, and we're bailing out Luigi, and we want to wear Luigi hats and all this shit.

Where were you before? Like, Luigi wasn't popping off before.

Good. Thank you. Wow. Now, the guy who I mocked a little bit, I'm afraid he didn't have his hands on. He didn't get his dirty paws on it because when I busted his balls. What's his name? The guy? Sweet Boy Justin. He's right there. Sweet Boy Justin. Yeah. Sweet Boy Justin. You're going to get your fucking hands on this. You're not going to put anything.

As if he needs any more coffee.

Too many.

Not right now. When he settles, he will. And also, like, I think Luigi is bringing in toxic masculinity into 2025. Because this is a toxic masculine poster boy.

Yeah.

True.

I mean, people have been canceled for way less than a cold-blooded killing. Yeah. I mean, people have really... I mean... A father, a husband, you know? Yeah. People have been canceled for a lot less than what Luigi has done. But, I mean, he is... Luigi's off the fucking rails, man. He's gone.

It's crazy. It's a crazy story. And it's nothing to celebrate or this is not a hero or anything like that. And, you know, if in fact he did it. So, you know, we can make all the jokes and the six pack and the jawline and the, what's his, James Franco's brother?

yeah the ryan murphy don't do it oh that's you know ryan murphy's just like oh my oh my god we got luigi i mean the netflix doc three-part documentary it's already started it's already been they started filming that it's coming out it's coming out by the end of the year it's true it's true so that's my hot take on luigi what is what is your favorite uh bravo franchise show very good question

I have to say, I go to what's on. So whatever in my soul, my immediate soul, I would say that the greatest reality TV show of all time is, in fact, Vanderpump Rules. That's a fact.

That's undisputable. And I'll debate anybody. I'll crunch numbers versus anybody. I know you know. I think Justin wants to argue with you. You won't get any debate from us. Justin's not going to say anything until he realizes that when somebody says, I would like a coffee, go ahead.

Especially when they reach out in the morning.

100%. Do you not agree?

Oh, I see. That's fine.

I respect that. I respect that. Yeah, so Vanderpump rules. And, you know, I mean, it ebbs and flows. I think, like I said, it's whatever's going on. And then you look at, like, Real Housewives of New York. The revamp has been problematic. Awful.

Garbage can. Abysmal. Right.

And I feel disrespected by some of the stuff that's going on. Those are your people. No, those are not my people.

I feel disrespected by some of the storylines this year. I feel like you can't be a halfway housewife.

Like either fucking do it or don't do it. And I know it's a come up and all that stuff, but it's disrespectful to us. It's disrespectful to the people that appreciate the show. It's disrespectful to the great Countess Luann, Sonya Morgan, Ramona Singer, Dorinda, Aviva, Bethany Frankel, and everybody that has come forward to play games with this shit. It's called real Housewives for a reason.

Don't like when you're doing a storyline in season two, I don't even think halfway through the season of a pregnancy prank.

And it's like, that's season nine. You have to be in your revamp season. Now you don't do that. Yeah.

And it's really, I don't know what's going to happen. I've heard, you know, I don't follow these things specifically, but the rating's not being well, doing well. So New York has been very disappointing, although I am Brokeback Mountain. I won't quit you. I won't quit you. It's close to quitting, and I will say there might be some scrolling. Me and my wife forbid that shit.

There's some checking out. Oh, you forbid the phone. When me and my wife watch the show, we don't scroll. Yes. But we have given ourselves the space to scroll during Roni. because of the disappointment. And I mean that sincerely.

The Salt Lake women?

I'm so jealous. Same. It was great. That you went. Yeah. And I got to be honest. Who's the producer? Was it you? Leia. She's on Zoom. You know, like, make sure you come on time. You know, you're in L.A. Do you want to come to Kathy Hilton's Christmas party? Might have been nice. Might have been nice.

I would have. Mary was there? Mary told us that. Mary told us.

I'll show you the photo. Just stick it in my face. I mean, it's painful. We're falling apart. I'm breaking up shit. I'm sorry. Get this man out of here. I'm sorry.

I'm so jealous of this. It was awesome.

What's Mary Cosby like in real life?

Exactly the same.

That's so like her.

She shamed you. She was like, you were a huge bitch. Yeah. Did she say that? No.

She's one of the greatest shade. I would say that out of all the housewives, she, to me, is the most unpredictable. You truly never know what's going to come out of her mouth.

A hundred percent. Was Bronwyn in there? Yeah. Bronwyn.

Really? Why do you think Todd is misunderstood?

I get it. Did he not? Or did she not run it up the flagpole? I guarantee you when she was like, you're riding my dick or I'm on your dick and the cursing and all, I know he was probably like, what? Who the fuck is this? She had this different person inside her this whole time. Was it disgust?

Todd's keeping it real. I got to tell you that they have the traditional bad writing on the wall. Can I ask you a question? Is that the Robert Frank book, The Americans? Yeah. Why is it there?

100% it is. I was just talking about that book the other day.

I love, I mean, you just got that?

Fuck yeah, that's dope.

It's over today. I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not educating photography people up until today, motherfucker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm a photography fan, but I literally was talking about specifically that book two podcasts ago on my podcast. Really? Just mentioning that book and other photographers because... Why was I talking about it? I can't remember. I think a photographer passed, maybe. And I might have mentioned, and I was going through. I don't know. But that's why I just caught that. Surprising, though.

Surprising that you don't have, like, you know, that's there. I get your books there. Okay, we got to fucking sell, sell, sell. ABC, always be closing. But the Americans, fuck yeah, man. I like that shit.

yeah we have we have taste around here okay try all right i like that i like that respect but okay so bronwyn i have a question in the rumor mill and i don't know if this is true but if it is it's unbelievable did you see that sandoval fired his lawyer yes is he and he's representing himself yeah it's all of a sudden become musty television um are you get the cameras rolling

All by himself. Anybody that represents himself is gone, but Tom Sandoval representing himself is fucking... That's unbelievable. If that's true... Holy shit.

You should feel bad. Do you love Tom?

He's evolving. Let's take it easy on Jax. He's evolving. I mean, he's trying. You think? He went to... Listen...

He might have to go again. And we all might have to go again.

Good for you. Did you really? Yeah.

they torture you no sleeping you got six hours of sleep at night on a cot i didn't know you were on there yeah it was hypothermic for three days would you do it you know when i was watching you know my i was like i wonder if i could do that and my wife was like not only could you not do that what they're doing you're not going on there to show the entire world what i already know So.

The whole thing, yeah. Like, you can't do it. I know you can't do it. And you won't. And you're not gonna try to see if you can do it.

So you know I'm different, go ahead.

Then what is that?

A processing issue.

you know, like you're like, oh, and then just, you know, and it's kind of just happening. Yeah. Now I like the idea and the, uh, the processing issue thing. I, I, I hear you on that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me ask you a question. As fans, I throw this at all you guys, as fans of reality shows, Do you, like when you went to this party last night, like I've been around them at BravoCon and stuff like that, but do you like to know how the sausage is made? Do you like to have inside scoop and all that stuff? Do you like to understand that?

Because I'll be honest with you, as much as insight as I have into the way TV shows are made, people as I know, housewives, you know, producers and stuff like that, I never want to know anything other than what I see on TV just for pure entertainment purpose.

Have you? I don't know this. I don't know.

So you know how this shit works.

Did you get married on The Bachelor? No. No, no, no.

I got this shit now. Okay.

I understand. Okay. Okay.

Awesome.

Pure OC. It's pure. You know, the OC for me, this is just for me, the OC, the women and the behavior is so foreign. And I say this with all due respect. It's almost like going to some sort of,

exotic zoo and watching like exotic rare animals behave like i can understand how a elephant gorilla crocodiles you know uh all the all the all the all the uh the regular cast of characters but if you go to like like a zoo in this like you know weird wild like gazelles and like you know beautiful like birds and that's what like oc is for me they're screaming they're all endangered species

protect them all protect them all because their level of emotion and their screeching and their yelling to me I'm like this is what the fuck it's all about like this is fucking reality TV we had Vicky zoom in last week I don't know if you heard all of Bravo Nation was

Gunvalson? Watch yourself.

And Michael, one more time. I mean, what the fuck, man?

Something like that. Anyways, you know who I'm talking about. No, we don't know. And you're going to get it right, Nick.

Yeah. You know, it's like anything could happen.

So I think that she exemplifies what the OC is all about. And I say free Vicki Gunvalson and make her back full time.

It was awesome.

I'm going with Shannon. I'm going with the OC.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was kind of just like taking in almost like why she asked me this question. Is there another answer?

Last night?

Can I ask you a question? And this is a hot topic. I have been, and you talk about rare birds. I have been critical at times of Kathy Hilton because I have felt like- Maybe that's why you weren't invited. Say it again? Maybe that's why you weren't invited. No, no, no, but I have had an olive branch reach out. They were like, you're misinterpreting it. Okay.

I think that if they had known that I was in LA, I could have, I'm not saying that- No, you would have been there.

I'll be your plus one. And I would have been like, yeah.

An invite. However, this season, Kathy Holton has been with the hat and the driving with the invitation back to what we love. But she got mommy dearest ish. uh, you know, with Kyle. Okay. Kyle, Kyle. And you know, with Rinna and you know, like, and I was like, you know, all this like hunky dory shit wasn't there. And I articulated that. And people were like, how dare you?

I was like, what do you mean? How dare you? This woman's fucking scary. At times she can be scary. Now, listen, we're all, you know, there's a cake and, you know, someday you get the happy mic and someday you get the hopped up on coffee mic. And there's another guy, you know, like when I'm that's, you know, so there's different temperatures to everybody, including Kathy Hill. We can't.

you know, say she's not, you know, uh, all things. And when I articulated that she had a mommy, I don't know if she didn't put people in her camp and also social media, which is of course more important than anything. They were like, how dare you? And buh, buh, buh, buh, buh. And I'm like, I'm just calling it as I see it. Like this woman's fucking frightening when she's big dog and Kyle.

And she was, you know, having meetings with, with Rinna and all that shit. I was like, what's happening here.

She's doing it for fun. I get that. And when she's fun, it's extraordinary. I'm saying when she can be a little stern.

What happened here?

With the hats and the coffee.

A motherfucker. I think she was probably a motherfucker. I think she was, you know, a motherfucker.

A motherfucker. So it takes one to know one. Hell yeah. Yeah, beyond.

Yeah, I was the motherfucker. And that was just high school. You know what I mean? We could ask me, what were you like in kindergarten? I'd be like, motherfucker.

I never like to see relationships fail because I adore them so much, all the housewives. That's why when you were so critical, openly critical a few minutes ago about Jax, I came to his defense, you know what I mean? I've been hard on Jax. He will and always will be the number one guy. He might not have ended as the number one guy.

I think he's soft how? He's emotionally weak. I'm not arguing with you. That's why we loved it.

I like that you're criticizing him. See, my wife is more hard body than I am. She's like, you know, you love them. I'm like, yeah, I love them.

Like Luigi dangerous to society?

I'm not defending this behavior in any way, shape, or form. Although, I will say as, I don't know how old they were, late 20s. He was 33. 33, late 20s, 25, 33. It's all the same. You know, Vicki Gumbelson, Vicki Grumbleson. You know what I mean? I'm just saying I get all that. See, the thing is for me about all of them, the men, the guys, the girls, I look at it more like TV characters. Yeah.

So that's why I'm like, and I root for all of them. So when you say about PK and Dorit, I'm like, I want them to do well. I want them, if they're not going to be together, I want them to divorce as well as possible under these circumstances. I think that he's done, based on what we've seen so far this year, he's fucking done.

She was ride or die with him for all these years, and now you've got some perspective. Maybe you're sobered up, and you're like, fuck you, Dorit. I'm like, no, that's not the person you say fuck you to, because she was with you when you were probably not at your best.

You know what I mean? So, so now you're, you're sobered up and you're like, you're, you're PK from the show and you know, single PK. Yeah. Single PK.

Yeah. And you're out and about, you got, you got a couple of new jackets and some suits. It's like, you know, you're still pushing five, eight and you know, it's like, chill out, man. Because you know, you have a family with this woman. It's like, you don't get that again. No, you don't, you don't get that first family with your kids. You don't get that again. So calm down.

This is your wife.

Okay. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I went through, you know, not to go to be in my shit, but like, you know, divorce with kids, it's a thing, you know, it's, and if you've made it this far, like, you know, I say like, don't,

You know, you're PK and you're maybe getting looked at maybe a little bit more because you're on the show and, you know, there's some... But, yo, you know, like, I want people to stay together, especially with kids and all that stuff. So... Like, figure it out, you know? You got to go 15 hard rounds, at least. Put in 15 hard rounds of work. That's what I wish for everybody.

Especially because all the housewives, all the reality show people, I want them to succeed. I want them to do well. So I lean towards the positive when it comes to all of them. Because in a weird way, you see... And it's like, oh, you're talking about a reality show. at the best, you start to see yourself in these people.

And that's what I think, you know, like the heart of the shows is you start to see yourself in these people. And if you see yourself in these people, you want to see them do well. You know, and especially as I'm older, I'm like, oh, fuck, I could see that mistake. I made that mistake. You know, and all that kind of shit. So...

you know that's why I love reality TV because you know the silliness and the arguing and the screaming and all that stuff that's all awesome and the Vicky Gumbelson and the screeching and the yelling and all that stuff and the table flipping and the fighting and the drink throwing but the emotional thing is the thing that I think makes it To me, incredible TV when it's at its best.

And I get the silliness and people are like, what are you talking about, The Godfather? No, I'm not talking about The Godfather. But there is that emotional core to these people that I have with them. Because you watch them all the time.

You remember mine, baby. With Britney on Salt Lake City?

The new one. The new one. I don't have that yet.

Yes. Is she a slutty vibe? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, I did. Sorry to snap your face. Yes, I do. Like, yeah, I thought that was fucked up and I thought it was, you know, and you know what I thought was interesting is like people be like, you're this, you're that, you're da-da-da-da-da. And then you go, you made her cry. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm like... That's not how I act.

I need, like, a day to be like, well, fuck her, and, you know, fuck him, and I'm not fucking about... Like, I need to come down. Like, they just... Like, she's crying. Like, oh, okay, I'll go fix it. I'm like... You just called her a slut on TV, and her hair was porno, and I'm like... At a bat mitzvah. Right. Oh shit, a Meredith Marks bat mitzvah.

Monica brought the pain.

Did they hear you when you said this?

Yeah. You gave Bronwyn a talking to? A Todd talking to.

Bronwyn, it's your first season. Calm down, Bronwyn. Because let me tell you something, Bronwyn. It's your first season. Don't get the big head. And I thought it was, what did you think of her acting? What would you think if your wife showed up every time at the airport in a fucking, like, a Frankfurter suit and a clown suit? I thought that was way out there.

If it made her happy, you know?

Right, because I don't think it made the husband happy. Based on knowing Todd, I think Todd was like, so I'm like, Todd, you know, you didn't stop it. It wasn't for the show. There's a lot of them, yeah.

I don't think Todd. I don't know, man. I don't know. Professor Todd.

But do you think it's PR now because in the beginning, because she's genuine. She fucks with Todd.

This is a good episode.

But you were there at 365 degrees, so you saw a different thing than I saw. And respect for seeing that. And respect for giving her a talking to. Yeah. Season one.

I'm not going to say, I'm just saying like, it hit her hard. And I think it, so yes, it was both ways. It was both ways. I'm not going to say, I'm not going to defend either one.

Is that called sex shaming or slut shaming or?

Yeah. Do you have a roster? And you know, what's crazy is that in Salt Lake city, you get a perspective that the Osmond dude, like that's the top.

No.

If you're lucky. Without the religious background. If you're lucky, you're Tom Sandoval.

Yeah, come on.

I got you.

That's true. Fire them. Yeah. Talk to them. Bring in, bring in. Come here.

Yeah. I was just going to ask you, have you guys been to something about her?

I don't know. Is it a real place?

Yeah. Okay.

You got to be careful.

So the trademark for the name of the restaurant?

I never loved that. If they go Katie and Ariana sandwich spot, you'd be better off anyway. Something about her. We know it because we're in the vernacular and we're in the zeitgeist. But if you want to open up to the real world... There's a better name out there. I don't know if Katie and Ariana's sandwich spot is the best one, but something could do better.

No.

Yeah, something about her. It's like Jersey Mike Subway's. I'm going to fucking eat the fucking Subway.

Let me tell you something. If my man represents himself in court, you got it. Like, yo, we, we got to go together.

Yo, yeah. Yo, Kim Kardashian, you went to school. Dead ass. I'm doing this shit off the internet. I'm Google searching and I won.

I was just going to say, you bite your fucking toe.

And then it's Sandoval LLC. You know, or Sandoval ESQ. He's opened up his own law firm. Oh, my God. That's what's up.

But there's still so many reality shows that he could go on. Yeah, I mean, he'll get work.

And you know what? And let me tell you something. If you were opening a bar, you should be so happy that your partner would spend $15,000 for that motorcycle just for the shot. And the helmets and all that shit.

Very concerned.

They're going to have to really make a list, check it twice, and really get the microscope out. Because to cast young 20-somethings now, we are all, 20-somethings especially, are so... Like the Real Housewives of New York effect. It's like they're so conscious and they're so performative. We all are. We've taken so many selfies.

We took pictures and video and we grew up watching Vanderpump and they're fans of this and fans of all these shows. So it's going to be, you're going to have to get some people with some, the great housewives and the great reality ones are the people with a piece missing. I don't know how we're going to get that, but you got to find a piece missing.

It's going to be tough in LA because there's always the aspirations of, being an actor, being a singer, being a, now I want to be a podcast. I want to be an influencer. We caught these people at a time when it was still, you can catch them fresh and raw and they, you know, he wants to be a model. He wants to be an, you know, and they came with the ambitions.

You're on social media. Like some of these people, I'm like, Man, there's a whole agency full of all these people. It's like a thing.

I got my start as a stand-up comedian. I started doing stand-up first when I was 19, 1989. I came out to L.A. and then soon would get called in for acting auditions. And once I started acting, I was like, this is what I'm going to do. I got successful relatively quickly and just was fortunate and found something that I just love and that I respect and that I appreciate doing.

And still to this day, I haven't had a bad day at work. I've had some long days at work. I've had some cold days at work, but I haven't had a bad day at work.

The first thing that I was casted in, this before you guys' time, there was a show on ABC in 1990 called China Beach, and it was like a post-Vietnam military show, successful show. I had 12 lines on that, and then I got this movie called Zebra Head, which won a Sundance Award when Sundance was like, you know, still sort of this vibrant, independent movie film festival.

A hundred, every time I, when they're at, what's the, what's the hat store? Um, what's a case of Kimo Sabe? Kimo Sabe. Yeah. I'm always like, you know, like I always think of like, that's cause for me, Sundance was a big deal for me when I first went there. So it was like, I relate that to like my youth and like finding success.

And like, you know, I got recognized the first time I got there, you know, it was like a whole like, Oh shit, what the fuck is going on with my life? So I did a movie called zebra head and that Oliver stone produced. And that was a, wow. And then it was just, you know, working since, you know, you've had an incredible career, man.

How do I feel about Lisa? I mean, I think that in, in what way, you know, like I lean towards the adoration. Do I think she's the greatest housewife of Beverly Hills? No, no. Do I think she's an iconic housewife? Yes.

I agree.

Let me ask you a question, Nick, because you seem to be a sharp dresser. What am I? Say it again. What am I? No, no, no. You're going to like this. Stay. Nick, are you jealous of Ken's shirts and all that stuff? Because I like that. Is that cashmere? No, that's not cashmere. Ken would have cashmere.

But he's got custom pink, purple.

Ken's an old-fashioned gentleman, and he dresses like a fucking gentleman. Hell yeah, he does. So the real question is, what do you think of Ken?

Wow, man. You're a cold-blooded motherfucker, man. You think he's loyal? So you think that he should have left Lisa? Is that what you're saying? No.

I respect that too. And also I think that it probably has shifted in their relationship because I think at one point Ken was the man. He seems like he had a run. I don't know what he did.

That he was the fucking guy. And he's got a little older and he got confident. And he was like, you know what? I'm rocking this pink shirt. I'm rocking this custom purple shirt that a guy, another man, and I'm not going to point fingers, might not be able to wear.

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying some people might know it.

Look at this fucking guy, man.

Shit, man. He got the American's photo book over there. One special forces. You won that shit, huh? What'd you win? How much you win? Nothing. They didn't give you a... See, I wouldn't do it for nothing. They pay you to go on the show.

Hell yeah. Fuck that. I like that. I like that, Nick. I like that.

Motherfucking A-ride. I like that, Nick. I like that. You did it for the honey, not for the money. I like that. That's right. Good for you.

You know what? Why don't you shut the fuck up? walk across one of those things in the cold water, go in the water and all that shit.

Is it started yet? No.

Good for her. What's her husband's name? Aaron. I love Denise. They seem to be doing good. She's a real one. Yeah, Denise Richards. I root for any actor or actresses to kick ass. I don't like for them to be putting boxes or, you know, I root for everybody in my industry.

On this show?

Definitely.

Definitely. This was a real pleasure. Pleasure is all ours, man. Thank you. This was dope.

What's the name of your podcast? I Am Rap Ports Stereo Podcast, and the podcast for my wife is Rap Ports Reality. Yes. Which maybe you come on one time. We'd love to. Because, you know, the reason why we started the podcast is because on my podcast, it's a lot of shit talking, a lot of sports, a lot of pop culture. But I've had to, and I've had the podcast for 10 years.

I have to curb my enthusiasm for my housewife shit.

On his podcast?

I'm down for that, too. But I had to. So me and my wife were like, let's do it. So we could just go deep.

And I'll say this.

one of the best uh episodes and moments was vanderpump rules the revamping recasting was announced right before we started and i saw it on my phone and i said babe don't open your phone she said why i said just don't open your phone and i told her live i mean she almost fucking started crying that's right i see that's how that's the authenticity we need to do here i love her we need to

Yeah, I mean, we were both like, you know, in mourning. She was like, no. And I was like, you fucking said this is the end. I said, you should have never put it out there. You blamed her. No, I was just like, you know, this is what happens. Because she was like, it's over. And I was like, it's not over. I said, now you see, now you, you know.

I mean, that montage they put at the end of the last episode, I'm like, I thought it was over too. Crying. These are the best. And then you're like, they're looking around. They don't know where the camera is. They're like little puppies with, you know, deer in a headlight. They don't know. Yeah.

Me too. I fuck with James.

That's the James Kennedy.

But you know what? That's the sober James Kennedy we all want to see. We don't want him to be drunk. We want to be like, you want to do that? That's who you are, motherfucker.

He's DJ James Kennedy, man. He needs his hands free. He's free on Carnival DJ James Kennedy.

Hell yeah.

Saw something you shouldn't have seen, but you were happy you did.

I fuck with DJ James Kennedy.

He peaked at the right time. Yep. And he's doing good. And I wish them all well.

Appreciate it, my man. Thank you.

44?

Mm-hmm.

You know what I mean?
