I ripped it open. I'm like a stickler now that I have kids for having high quality products in our house all the time. And Dietzenwassen has done that. So like, I'm not afraid that when Emma wants to eat all my prosciutto, because she will, that...

It's okay for her to do that. Dietz and Watson has been handcrafting premium meats and artisan cheeses for over 85 years. They're family owned and operated. And they never cut corners ever. They do things the right way, even if it's the hard way. They're transparent about what goes into their food and what doesn't. They know good taste doesn't need a long list of ingredients. And they stick to what matters using the fewest, highest quality ingredients to craft their meats and cheeses. Visit DietzandWatson.com slash the right way to learn more about the Dietz difference.

We're in deep trouble. We're in deep trouble.

Speaking of dark, but not as dark, Fun Dark, the Sheen sisters...

Maybe make a good show and we'll watch. But don't bring the fight to the Instagram. Don't even get me started on Meghan Markle. I feel like you have to control the phone and not let the fucking phone control you. And I will totally admit that sometimes the phone controls me. They come out swinging and they eat. They eat? They eat. They're not snacking. They're eating. He called his wife a prostitute. Hooker, whatever he said. No, you wouldn't have seen him again. You would have to send a search crew for his little ass.

Three, two, one, and hello!

Hello. We are back. Rappaport's Reality. We're back. My name is Michael Rappaport. And I'm Kibi Rappaport. And this is Rappaport's Reality, the podcast where we discuss all things popular culture, all things reality TV. Of course, if we're discussing popular culture, reality TV, we might even say a sidebar, temporary sidebar for this podcast is discussing Freak Offs and the Puffy Trial. Oh. And some curated tidbits from the comings and goings from

From our much, much... I thought you were going to say you were going to discuss our freak-offs. We don't have freak-offs. Babe, let me tell you something. The fact that the term freak-off is now mainstream... In vernacular. I mean, it's going to be in the dictionary, I'm sure. You know that's true. Yes, I know. It's terrifying. But that's not... The term freak-off...

Like, he hijacked Freak Off because you can't say Freak Off anymore. Freak Off was... Where did it come from? It came from, like, you know, kind of... Was it in a song? I don't know exactly where it started, but I know as a New Yorker, like, you used to be like, yo, we're freaking out. It definitely was, like, regarding sex, but it didn't mean...

You're getting your girlfriend to have sex with a S.A., as they call them. Sex... Well, what's new to me is that it refers to a... A specific... A specific event between the two of them alone in a hotel room with a said person. I get that. I thought it was like these parties, that white parties that turned into after dark, after dark, like 2 a.m., 3 a.m. Now... That's what everybody thought it was. Yes, and now we're realizing that it's just...

between he's saying to his girlfriend, guess what? I'm going to teach you, young lady, about a freak-off, and I'm going to call it this. We're going to invite somebody into our life, and I'm going to do these productions with baby oil. You, me, a camera, and this prostitute that we're going to invite over. You're going to invite over. You're going to pay. The whole thing is really... But the fact that

The news, you watch CNN, you watch TMZ, every single TikToker, every single Instagrammer. And everybody seems to like saying it. And they just say it so matter-of-factly. That's what bothers me. I'm over it. I don't want to hear it again. I've heard it probably a thousand times literally and said it at least a hundred times literally in the last week. And it's revolting. It's disgusting. And the conversation about baby oil and...

freak offs and freak off you're saying it stop it but it's so much and there's so many tiktokers and instagram people that have dedicated the last 10 days of their life to discussing cassie puffy baby all and these freak offs you said it again and we're not even two weeks into this shit i know

I know. It's crazy. I know. It's crazy how much discussion. It's on CNN. It's on all the news. They cover it. Yeah. It's really bad when you see the ticker tape and it says freak-offs, and there's a hyphen in between freak and off. Is that what you see? I don't know. Sometimes there's a hyphen between it and sometimes not. Respectfully, different networks spell it differently. I don't know. I think that society is...

We're in trouble. We're in fucking trouble, man. We're in deep trouble. I mean, this thing is not good. This puffy thing, what it's doing to society, the TikTok of it all. And they all, they go, they have these terms, they say like an S worker. S.A. Yeah. What is S.A.? Sexual assault.

Oh, sexual assault is essay. That's because, you know, you can't use certain words on the internet, which is so funny. You can talk all about the subject, but you can't use the actual terms in full sentences because with the spelling of the word completely, otherwise you get banned from the platform, but you can talk all about it. Nothing in our society makes complete sense. I have no idea why. And the idea that...

There's a fake, like, entire transcript with audio, a fake whole day in court of a Prince audio tape that they played. And there's, it's crazy that this is allowed. That's crazy. For people that don't know, there was a, it came up today that on the internet,

Which is... It didn't go that wide. No, it's catching speed. There was an audio recording that Prince made where Prince was talking... Allegedly that Prince made this tape where he...

alleges that he was at several parties where he witnessed things that were just horrendous. Puffy parties. Puffy parties. And he saw... And he wanted to confess them to the world and it says, just in case I die, of course, as if Prince was thinking, just in case I die, just in case I die, make sure you share them.

And if you saw this trance, because I was my friend down at the supermarket. He was like, yo, you heard the Prince thing? And I was like, no. He was like, yo, they played Prince in court and Puffy was screaming and they told him to sit down. And the whole thing is fake. It's all deep fakes and AI. It's sick. But what should be telling is that they never played Prince.

Right. The fake... Everybody in the world would know that. Right. At this point, but it's like coming out that day three this happened. I'm just disgusted that this trial is taking place. I don't want to hear any more about the next sex worker. They brought in a guy today called The Punisher. He's another sex worker. I don't know what he's sharing or why... It's all the same, by the way. The story is all the same. I know. Because the way he behaved was there was sort of...

It was ritual for this guy, Puffy. He had a ritual. He did the same thing over and over again because it worked. His behavior, his bad behavior as a human being worked. That's why he continued to do it. Most villainous creatures, cretins, as I've heard, fucking creatures, they do the same behaviors over and over again when it works and they get away with it. Well, he's a nasty...

Grimy. I mean, junkie, and they were... Oh, what a junkie. Created junkie, and they continued on and on and on. Listen... I've had enough, though, man. I've had enough, too. And people are like, did you see this person talk about it? I'm like, what more are they going to say? I heard it. I saw it. I don't want to... It's too much. It's too fucking much, especially...

in such a beautiful time of the year. It's so beautiful. It's so perfect right now in New York City, which lends to the fact that outside the courthouse, it's a zoo out there and everybody's out there getting content and getting pictures and doing TikToks and going live. And I'm shooting this person. And then this podcast is out there. It's just,

It's just disgusting. I think because they're getting clicks. I mean... They're exploiting it. Yeah, that's how you get drives to your channel by getting this. I mean, this is the hottest subject that's going on. I like lighter fare on the internet. I hear... I gotta be honest. I like dark shit. But this is...

No, this is not even dark. This is evil. Like, this is not dark, evil. This is far, far, far, far, far. I prefer not. Speaking of dark, but not as dark, fun dark, the Sheen sisters. Speaking of dark, but not as dark. We should catch up. We're a little bit behind on some of our shows, but Charlie Sheen's daughter, Sammy...

And Denise Richards' daughter, Sammy, and their other daughter are in a social... See, this is the kind of social media shit that I like. I don't. I mean, I... I don't like that it's sisters. I don't like it at all. The only reason why I brought it to your attention... ...is that I wanted to make a commentary on that the world is falling apart. Not as bad as the Puffy thing. No, but in general... No. This is that... To me, I feel like it's completely separate.

When Denise Richards gets on a reality, she leaves a successful show and she puts her daughters on her own reality show. Okay. After what Charlie's done, she gets in a reality show, puts her daughters on one. One's on OnlyFan and one is a devout Catholic. And on Mother's Day, because one,

The OnlyFans daughter. Sammy. Sammy gets her mother gifts for Mother's Day and the devout Catholic. I forget her name. She didn't get a good gift. She didn't get gifts at all. Hers was coming in the mail. And they were beefing. And they beefed in public. About who got mom a better gift. It's hilarious that it's...

The girls are fighting. Matter of fact, Miles Jordan, play a clip from Sammy and her sister going back and forth discussing the gifts they got, the gifts they didn't get, and how one of them was taught not to talk about family members on social media. Play that clip. My mom posted a photo of the three of us on Mother's Day, and all the comments were saying how Lola...

was so nice and Lola's the perfect child. Not a single person even, I guess you guys didn't even see me in the photo. Did you guys know that Lola didn't even get my mom flowers or a card or anything for Mother's Day when my mom doesn't have a mom anymore and it's a very hard day for her? So I made the reservation. I paid for everyone's food. Lola said she was gonna split the bill with me and she didn't.

i got my mom two things of flowers, a bunch of from barefoot dreams, and a very nice candle and a card. and lola couldn't even get her flowers. isn't that crazy? but all the comments on that post were saying that she is so nice. okay. and of course um her excuse "it's coming in the mail. i got you something mom but it's in the- it's coming in the mail." bitch i've been hearing that since christmas.

Sorry I didn't get you anything for Christmas, Sammy. It's on its way. Anyway, this is good. For me, again...

It's more lighthearted social media that I could absorb. I'll take this. I'll take the Sheen daughters beefing back and forth about who got mom, a.k.a. Denise Richards, a better Mother's Day gift than having to hear every single other person talk about fucking freak-offs. Harvey Levin. If I hear Harvey Levin say the word freak-off again from TMZ, the TMZ guy, again, I'm sorry to go down the rabbit hole, but we are behind on...

on Denise Richards' show. You're just going on on your own. You haven't asked me what I thought about it. Well, what do you think about the beef between the two daughters? What I'm saying is that you're saying that one was taught. They both grew up in the same family. They both were taught not to talk about each other poorly. My thing to you was I showed it to you because I think...

It's funny how they both were going on. The OnlyFans one, Sammy, was upset with her sister because she didn't get the gift. She's supposedly the good daughter saying it's in the mail. The Christmas gift is in the mail. She never gets the gift. But my point was I think that they're smart and that they're doing the beef for us to see and we're falling for it so that they can create this kind of fodder and entertainment offline, online, so that we watch the show. I respect that.

If they're doing it to promote the show, sure. Wild thing. Isn't it called wild thing or wild things, wild things, things, three of them. Cause they're all wild things because it's a play on the Denise Richards movie that she did with Matt Dillon. Right. Wild thing. Maybe it was called wild things also.

if they're doing that to promote the show, I think it's great. I don't know if they've all three of them been in watch what happens live, but that would be fucking sick. The three of them sitting there in front of Andy, but not everybody's the Kardashians. That's what I'm saying. It's like you, you can only do so much. Not everybody's the Kardashians. Every,

Everybody is trying to manipulate the audience to get... Listen, there's so much content out there, babe. Too much. There's so much. You got to do everything. You got to create the smoke and mirrors so that we... It's a content cold war. That's right. It's so many...

things to watch, scroll through, click. It's too much. I'm overwhelmed. It's so fucking much. It's insane. It's insane. And that's what it felt like. And that's why when you say, why is everybody talking about this freak off is because it is

It is extreme. You got to be extreme to get the eyeballs. And that's what this is. And not that he meant to do it, but that's what's happening. So yes, I think it's lighter hearted, but it's still exhausting to me. I go, girls, maybe make a good show and we'll watch. But don't bring the fight to the Instagram.

It's a crazy, crazy, crazy time. Crazier than ever. With politics and all this other craziness, it is probably at an all-time high and it's not going anywhere. I mean, before 7 a.m. I thought they were going to ban TikTok. What happened to that? I know. Before 7 a.m. I showed you another beef with...

With the... What's the girl's name that used to be popular? Brittany Furlan. Brittany Furlan. She was a Vine star. I mean, she made it really big on Vine. I remember she used to make the really funny videos. She's like a hot playboy type model girl, dark hair. Like a rock and roll hot. Yes, and then she became very famous when she married the... Tommy Lee? Yes, Pamela Anderson's husband, the drummer. Is he a drummer? Yes, and they got married hot and heavy. Met very quick, probably on Raya. I think they met on Raya. Well, she...

was having a little problem in her marriage and got catfished by Ronnie Radke. Who we didn't know before. Didn't know who he was. A couple hours ago. But I mean, before 7 a.m. I opened my phone and this is what I found. I didn't know who the fuck Ronnie Radke was until I opened my eyes today. And Ronnie Radke is apparently some, he's got the blackout tattoo. That's where this stuck out the most. His whole body is tattooed black. He's a white guy and he's got black. He's almost black. Right. And.

And he's got like a Jesus thing, and he's a singer and a musician and a rapper. And for some reason, he may or may not have been involved with catfishing, a former Vine, Tommy Lee's new wife, Brittany Furlan. All this is happening. It's crazy.

So now she's staying in a hotel. And she's talking about the catfish. Because maybe she was really having a conversation with him because she's kind of unhappy. So she was texting him. But by the way, it wasn't him. So he's like saying, it wasn't me, you dummy. So now he's trolling her and making fun of her because it wasn't him. But she's saying, dude, it was you. Or OK, maybe it

wasn't you? And Tommy Lee said... And then he puts on his page who got catfish and is sitting in his music room making a song about her. What's the song he's making called? He called her, you know, stupid, I don't know, like stupid bitch. No, the song is You Got Catfish, Bitch. He's making a song called You Got Catfish. Yeah, but he's like a senior

The citizen getting mad at his young, 26 younger years wife. The whole thing is a mess. My point is that the internet, like don't even get me started on Meghan Markle. We're all cracking up here on the internet. I feel like we all need to take a collective break. We're doing too much. We're all doing too much on the internet. You know, we all need to take a break. Sometimes less is more. I agree. We need boundaries. I agree.

I say that and then I say that's kind of all we have. You know, this is a new medium. This is a way that we communicate. This is the way... And, you know, this is... I'm not saying anything new, but I'm getting scared for us. I agree. For humanity. I really am. It's a wacky time. I agree.

And with the phone and the scrolling and the amount of entertainment that you could find on social media. And it is entertaining. But is it though? Because I should know this about her. I shouldn't know that she's in a hotel. I shouldn't know who Ronnie Ratkin is. Right.

Rad key. That was not good entertainment, but there is some good entertainment. Give me some, babe. Give me some. I feel like you have to control the phone and not let the fucking phone control you. And I will totally admit that sometimes the phone controls me. And when the phone controls you, you get behind on the things that you want to do. Right. Like watching our shows because...

We also woke up to find out that the second season of Secret Lives of Mormon is up. The Secret Lives of Mormon is up. The Secret Lives of Mormon is up. And we haven't watched any of it. None of it. And all of it's up, I believe. The whole season. And that was a great. And I've been waiting for that. Yes. Yes.

And that was a great show that I think caught everybody by surprise because, again, it's like how many fucking crazy Mormons, how many reality shows, how many hot, weird girls with problems with their marriages. And that show was really, really, really good. And I hear that they come out swinging and they eat. They eat. They eat. They're not snacking. They're eating. Who told you this? Kennedy. She watched it? Oh, yeah. She's like, Auntie Keeb, they eat.

Well, fuck. Yeah. But I don't want to eat the entire season in one bite. I do. I want to just get cozy and binge. How many episodes is it? Like eight, ten? I think eight. Six? When I briefly looked...

I saw six, so... Maybe they threw out six and there's six. They can't just do six now. I think they put out some and then they saved the last two or three. Yeah, that's a very good show. We have to catch up on that. We have to catch up on Wild Things because we've been watching it all. We also, I will say...

for the last three, four days, two days, three days, have not had any Talenti or any chocolate or any night snacking. You said two, three, one. I don't want to get ahead because I got on the fucking scale and I'm like, I expect to lose weight. I haven't lost weight. Something's going on with us. Something's going on with us because usually I can snap it back. I've been exercising. I've been doing good, drinking ample amounts of water. I don't know. I feel stuck inside. My bowel movements aren't

quite there tmi i know but you know like i feel stuck you know what i mean like stuck i know you feel that way too your sleep hasn't been great i notice well the night before it was good and then last night it wasn't that good and we're in new york city and you keep saying you're waking up to like the tweeting of birds but you woke up this morning to it too i didn't hear it i was like what's up snow white like what what are you hearing between 5 30 and 6 15 a.m before the traffic starts

there's birds tweeting. I don't hear what you hear. They were tweeting, and I think because it's the city and, you know, it was echoing off the other buildings, them shits were loud and sharp, a sharp, not to a distracting, but it was like Snow White and the birds were chirping. No, that's you, Snow White. Yeah. That's not me. I don't hear birds. But it's waking me up a little bit earlier than I want to, but we're almost at air conditioning season. Yes, but the sleeping hasn't been that good. And you're working out hard too, huh?

Harder than I was. Yeah. I wouldn't say hard.

I've been, you're getting steps in? Yes. Yeah. Yesterday I did steps and I did steps at a pace. I think it's cortisol. I think that stress hormone is- How do you get the cortisol? Do we want cortisol or you don't? No, no, we want it to be down. I think, you know, the traveling in the last 18 months, the stress has been a lot for us. So I think we have to be mindful. I think we, the idea of not having the phones in the bedroom before we go to sleep is a thing. And also waking up to the phones probably is not a good idea. Yes.

I think we're doing the eating has been good. I think we'd like to continue it. You know, I was reading. I like to finish eating at six, six 30. And you know what? I don't think we need as much protein. When we were vegetarian, I think we're better. You eat everything. I like protein, protein, protein, protein. And you know, I read an article. There's this amino acids, like perfect aminos. It's like, we need the amino acids from protein. I don't think we need that protein. Yeah.

From protein? Yeah. We don't need the protein per se as much as... I feel like a good steak is not a bad thing. Every now and then, but we don't need to be... I know for my body, I'm switching to it just because I'm like, oh, menopausal, post-menopausal, I need protein. I'm not buying it. I feel...

Bogged down. Yeah. You know what I mean? I felt lighter and better. Like, maybe we should think about switching back, adding the aminos, you know, eggs now and then, and a little bit of bone broth and this kind of thing. But what we're doing might be a little too heavy for us. I know I'm blood type A negative. People don't want to hear this. I don't know. Babe, I'm not feeling good. We can't even go out to eat. For me, I was realizing, we can't go out to eat because...

I feel like if you go out to eat, you might as well order a lot. We went to the diner the other night and you ordered a Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes. That was over a week ago. That was weird what you ate. What were you doing? I looked over and I was like, what? I ordered meatloaf and that was probably the last. A meatloaf and... Mashed potatoes, vegetables. New York diners, they have a menu. Anything you could think of is on a menu in a New York diner. I don't know where they keep it or how they...

anything, any kind of pasta, chicken, Salisbury steak, filet mignon, chicken parmesan, chicken polliard, shrimp scampi. I'm like, who would order a lobster tail in a fucking diner? You know you're rolling the dice. That's disgusting. They have all that shit in a New York diner. I know, they have way too many things at diners. But also, too, I think your travel schedule, like you travel, oh, you had a rough travel schedule last week where you got stuck in the...

Yeah. Stuck in the airport. And I think also traveling is rough on the body. Traveling is rough on the body. That being said, I do not mind an occasional steak, especially the way you make it. A little salt, a little pepper. It's light. Especially when it's filet mignon.

Speaking of dark, speaking of tender...

Babe, I got to throw a question at you. Yes. We are up to speed on The Valley, which it just is. It's just a dark show. We have to accept it's a different kind of reality show. I don't know where Sheena Shea and Lala are. Where are they? I heard they were part of the show and all that. We need them now more than ever because this last episode was...

With this little Jesse needs his ass. I would have kicked his ass far across that vineyard. You wouldn't have seen him again after calling her a prostitute. He called his wife a prostitute. Hooker, whatever he said. No, you wouldn't have seen him again. You would have had to hunt. They would have had to send a search crew for his little ass. Between Jesse and Michelle, Jesse Lely and Michelle Lely, who are going through a horrible public divorce, and Jax and Brittany...

This is two of the darker relationships that probably the darkest relationship. I know there's some dark shit. Well, Judici, the Judici marriage was pretty fucked up. Especially that time he was allegedly speaking to the girl and he said, oh, here comes my C word wife. Another dark scene at a vineyard.

Right. Right. Right. It seems like these vineyard trips bring out the worst in people. And you should just be enjoying some grapes and some cheeses and wine tasting. But that relationship, which relationship do you think is worse? Or which relationship do you think has a better chance of getting back together? They both have kids. Jesse and his wife...

Michelle or Jax and Brittany? Which ones? Okay. You asked me two questions. I'll take the second part of your question, which, which ones do I think have a better chance of getting back together? Yes. Would be Jax and Brittany only because of the Brittany part of the couple. Right. Brittany is the kind of woman that really seems to value marriage. Right. And family. Southern woman. She really, really wanted to work. Right.

The even as mad as she is at Jax, they're still a part of her. I think that truly, truly loves him. When she said she loves Jack, I think she really Jax. I think she really, really means it. I think she would do anything for him even when he's a big prick. Yes. Michelle, she probably was never really feeling Jesse and he's a dick. I think all of his values. He's got a dick face too. He's got a dick face. He's a little prick. I think all the things he stands for, I think there's things that she wanted to scream out and tell about him.

That she's holding back. Because of the camera. Oh, I think when she said you spent all our money, I think she wanted to say what he spent it on. Right. And she's not saying it. I'm not saying she's a perfect angel. I'm sure there's things he could say about her. Right. But in terms of that, I don't think they probably ever belong together. I would venture to say that she got knocked up.

I don't think that she, you know, they don't seem like a couple that should have ever been together. I think Brittany's naive and thought Jax was something that he was never. Yes. But does she deeply see in him? Yes. That nobody else could see behind closed doors, right? So that would be the answer to that. On the other side of your question, do I want to see any of these couples be together? Hell no. I don't want to. I go to Bravo to relax and chill, man. Yeah, exactly. It's...

You know, I know where people say, well, just stop watching, but we can't just stop watching. I feel like we're invested. We're invested. And I feel like as a Bravo person, we have the right. It's our space. It's like we rent space on Bravo. It's like if you're in an apartment building, like you go to the courtyard, you go to the gym, you go to the lobby, you go to the roof deck, you use the entire space.

And I feel like we have a right to watch everything on Bravo. And I'm not going to stop watching that show. But it is an emotionally challenging show to watch, especially when you go to Bravo for a good time. I go for a good time. Occasional wig snatch, occasional drink toss, maybe a little cat fight. But that's not, I don't want the entire vibe of it to be, like, I feel like I'm watching like a fucking Martin Scorsese movie when I'm watching that.

Yes, I do too. It's like a Cassavetes movie. It is. And you know what, though? This last episode that we watched last night, let me tell you something. It did get better for me.

Because the realness became... Yes. What am I going to say? The realness became when Brittany said to Nia... Danny's wife. Danny's wife, Nia. Who seems to have a drinking problem. He does. When he went into the pantry and he swigged tequila and she was like, you know, she kept going to the bedroom when he was snoring and was like, she was talking to him like he could really hear her. He was out. I mean, she was talking about like pageantry. Stepford wife. Honey. Oh, honey.

honey, are you going to join us? Honey's not joining you. He's not coming to dinner. He's out. He's sleeping from day drinking. Yes, and the idea... No, this was fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, and she was doing it for the cameras. And so when Brittany was like, I'm out here bleeding. I am dying, bleeding, and I've been doing it

for years I did it on Vanderpump I brought it to this show gave all y'all fools a job and this I'm really doing it for the camera and you're gonna give me this we are not in Miss America honey you're doing this and it looks crazy I'm not doing any I look crazy and you guys are trying to fake it and the whole thing looks crazy

I appreciated that. I hope that Brittany, one, one storyline that I hope blows up is what's his name? My man with the hair, uh, the, uh, gay guy, terrible style. I mean, for a gay guy in 2025, Zach, who I will tell you, he's got fucking beautiful, thick mane of hair. Totally. Even when he was on watch, what happens live? Andy like was like, let me, I have to see if that's real. And he grabbed it and he pulled it. And the man was like, yo, this shit is real. But yeah,

he's the one who instigated that whole thing. And I saw, and we did see that the producers probably went in there. That's what I thought. But Brittany needs to come back and Zach could be like, you little fuck because you're hugging me up and all that stuff. But yes, I will hand it to Brittany because I mean, the reality is, is that it is a reality show and they are keeping it real.

They are keeping it real. They are, but Nia in this case and Danny are, you know, also they are Christians and I think they go to church and I think there's a lot of that that they're trying to maintain a certain image around that. But you can't fake the funk and when it's funky and it stinks like fish...

You can't make it smell like roses. And that's what's happening here. I think that the Danny guy, he's an instigator. And there was that scene where I do think the producers had called him. Zach. Zach with the good hair. Zach with the good hair. The producers did call him to the curb and say, hey, ask her this. Make her do this. And I think that's why he shrugged his shoulders like, ooh, I didn't want to do that. Because that's not what he wanted to do. He's done it other times on his own. And I think they're using him to do that because...

But he's going to get himself in trouble later. Zach, your day is coming. His day is coming. Your day beyond just I'm the friendly guy that loves everybody. And I mean, but his style is fucking horrible. Strange style, huh? I mean, it's really bad. Yeah. For a Los Angeles, you know.

gay guy who's decent looking. Style is really way out there. I'm not into it. Really way. And it's weird that I know it's so bad that I noticed it. I was going to say, well, you're saying it must be bad. Speaking of dark.

There's a video they caught. We talked last week about Sonya Morgan being at a restaurant in New York and expecting to get a freebie. She's gotten freebies before, but apparently she went into this one restaurant and she brought friends and the bill was over $1,000. And I don't know what the fuck. I mean, listen.

Maybe they're ordering bottles of wine. I don't know how you get a bill over $1,000. But they said you got to pay, and she had to freak out. And then there's another video of her at a restaurant. I think it might be in Florida where they're taking her out. Yeah, she's in West Palm Beach, I think. And she's had to go in an ambulance. She's standing up. I wonder why. Ambulance. It sounded, from the way she was speaking and our history. Drunk Sonia.

I know. I feel bad for her. I feel really bad for her. She's got to get, if it's drunk Sonia, then, you know. It's amazing she's lasted this long. Sober Sonia, when she wakes up, she sees this and she hears it. She says it's a setup, another setup, as if she was set up. I paid the bill. Right. And she's saying that in the video. And we love Sonia Morgan. I love her. I wish her well. I don't know.

Listen, fall from grace it feels like, right? These ladies are... Fall from grace. I mean, she's been falling and drinking and flopping and falling. Literally. All over the place. But this is particularly bad. She was able to keep it together. She was like hot and all that stuff. But I'm surprised she's still physically together, all that alleged drinking. How it doesn't decimate her body. What, you seen her lately? No, but I seen her in the videos and stuff. She looks like Sonya Morgan. I don't know.

We wish Sonya Morgan, well, I mean, this is a woman who I will always have a soft spot for because of the joy, the unabridled joy year after year. And talk about, you know, reality stars being like fighters, right?

She literally has fallen down, face plant drunk, gets up, gives us more, gets up, gives us more. I know, but it's sad. I don't like this. It's hard for me to comment on that because when I think about it, when you see this side of it. It's not good. When we're not watching it in terms of the entertainment, when I see the real side, I go, oh, shoot, I feel bad watching it as entertainment because now this is her real life.

And I'm like, shit, were we watching that? Because that shit's not cute. So I really wish her well, and I hope that she's okay. Yeah, we love the great Sonya Morgan. Speaking of TikTok, one thing I didn't ask you about, I noticed you bought a new blow dryer.

Or hair device from TikTok. This is why I try to stay. I swear, this is why I try to stay off the internet. And you say to me, you got to go on. I said, I can't. Because I go on there. I didn't say you got to go shit. No, wait. When I say I have to stay off the internet, it's for other reasons. I don't think you understand because you don't have the same problems I do. I went on TikTok and I get on there. And then I see that TikTok is weird. I don't know what it is. But I saw these people with this comb that straightens your hair.

Right. And this is like black girl hair talk for a second here. Just bear with me, guys. This is a segment of Rap Portrait Rally called Black Girl Hair Talk. Go. Okay. So like my hair's curly, right? And then it gets a little too nappy. So if it goes two days, second day curl is like when I'm laying on it, then I try to comb on it. I can't get the brush through it. So I'm like, if I straighten it, then I can like deal with it a couple days. So I see these people and they're like,

there's a brush called Timu and it straightens your hair. It's just a comb. You just like go through it. So I got one of those and okay, it's fine. But I noticed it's a little straw you like when you straighten it. This other one uses steam. So there's these people. You plug it in. You plug it in and it has a little thing that you put water in. So they were doing side by side with the Timu on one side and they both kind of look the same, but one has water in it. And these people were like, look at this. The Timu, when you go through it, it's shiny. Yeah.

And the other, like, I'm sorry, it's called wavy talk. The good one? Yes, the wavy talk. Look at this. The wavy talk with the steam. I mean, it's shiny, right? Yes. My hair, listen, I have about as much hair as a mouse's tit, okay? I don't have that much hair. So, but the wavy talk...

I find my hair is smoother and shinier. So it works. Yes, I think so. And the Timo, they're both like, I don't know, I think 64 to 99 or whatever. But that TikTok will get you with the little, whatever they're selling, they're hawking on buying. And they do it so smooth and well. And all you got to do is click and then boom. Every person.

on TikTok is a influencer. I don't know about my little feed, but every time I go in there and I'm swiping, there's another person, man or woman, and it's usually a gay guy with long, a black gay guy with long hair, okay? And he is straightening his hair and his shit is smooth and blown in the wind like mine, like right here. And thin. Thin as the day is night. A day is day. So the question, the question that we all had, we all had,

Do you like your new device? I love it. And do you feel like it's going to last? It seems like a hearty weight. It's heavy. It doesn't seem like it's going to break. You're into your device. It seems legit. Do you want to give it your certified endorsement right now? I mean, if I was an influencer, I would be on TikTok going, okay, y'all better cop this. What is it called? Wavy Talk.

Boom. There you have it. From Keebee Rappaport. It's not just for black people, by the way. Anybody could straighten their hair with it. Yes. I was going to tell Tammy to get one. A wavy talk. She always has somebody come to her house, you know, all bougie-like, but she could do this herself. Wavy talk, steam hair,

Yeah, it's steam. Like, it uses steam, so you're not using just the heat. It's steamy. $64.99. It was like $64 or $70, something like that. Boom, there you have it. Boom, there you go.
