Look what happened when somebody said, fuck you on the street directed at you. I literally, a stranger had to come over and pull me because I was like, and she had a cigarette in her hand and she's like putting it in my face. And I said, I will break your hand off.

and I will drag you into the park and beat your fucking ass. Does that seem like... Look at me. Look at me truly deeply. Does that seem like me? No, but I have it in me. And I had it in me in high school. I had that in me. Ask my sister. Ask Donya. Like, I have that in me. I will fight... But the thing that was funny about that moment is it happened...

You ever see like dogs fight and then they just go like... And they just start walking and some man came over and said, I know who you guys are. It's not worth it. Yeah. And I was like, you're right. Okay. So we turned around and we just started walking home. It was like, it didn't even happen. It was so bizarre. That moment should tell you how we would behave on a reality show. Forget it. No, it's never happening. In battery B.

They'd be like... Ashamed and embarrassed of ourselves. It would be more so you, because people would expect me to be fucking nuts. Right. And I'd give them exactly what they expect. Exactly. That's... And more. All right. We're back. We're back. Rappaport's Reality. My name is Michael Rappaport. My name is Kibi Rappaport. This is Rappaport's Reality, the world-class podcast where we...

My wife, Kibi, and I discuss all things reality TV, all things popular culture, and some curated gems, tidbits about our personal relationships, the comings and goings of the Rapaports. Hope everybody's feeling fantastic. We have been both fighting hard.

Cold slash flu B. I mean, in a battle. Fuck. In a battle. I think that we were getting better and then traveling back from Israel, I think we might have caught a secondary infection.

Because you said to me, it's so cute, babe. You're like, what do we have? Like, what do we have? Like, I have the answer. I don't know. I'm feeling much better. Your voice seems to be inching its way back. It's not, I wouldn't go crazy. I wouldn't be screaming. No, I'm not screaming. Into your phone. But I think that you're sounding tremendously better. I hope you're feeling a little bit better. I know. I feel, today I feel the best I have felt in years.

The last month. I don't know what. I was diagnosed with flu B. You definitely caught whatever I had. And the traveling and the immune system and the traveling doesn't help. No. But we are back in New York City, what is still the greatest city in the world, although it doesn't have the greatest...

Bravo franchise currently. No one, no one can argue that. Yes. The Real Housewives of New York is top tier entertainment right now. But what I think is coming, babe, on June 3rd.

There is like a nepotism show called The Next Generation New York. Can't wait. Maybe that could be a sneaker hit and a replacement for The Housewives of New York. Because I saw the trailer. Yeah. I saw Gia Giudice. Yes. I saw, who else's kid? Meredith Mark's son. What's his name? He was built for it. Built, 100% star.

Yeah. I can't wait. I think it looks good. I got nothing against nepotism. I think it perfectly makes sense, and I think it's going to be good. Yeah, some of them are built for it. Gia, you knew that was going to happen. Yes. I'm not sure what the cast is. It's in June. It kind of reminded me from the looks of it and the tone of it because you're now watching Gossip Girl. Right, from the beginning. I've never seen it, and I started from episode one, and I'm...

I'm obsessed. Why? I don't know why, but you know, you said something to me when we were flying back. You said that there's the kids on the plane that were coming to New York for like their break. They live in Tel Aviv, but they were so into coming up to the Upper East Side to like see all this, you know, literally they were going on a gossip. This 15 year old girl. Right. Her father was the pilot. Right. Roy. There were two pilots named Roy and he had his daughter and her friend and they loved Atypical.

And somehow, someway...

We started talking about Gossip Girl, Upper East Side. Because they're coming to New York. They want to go to the Carl Schreltz Park, and they want to go to the Museum Steps. All the locations. All the locations you see on the show. Now, the reason why I started seeing another friend of ours while we were there, my age, said she started watching it. She said in the evenings, it's sort of like mindless, like what reality TV. It's very relaxing. And so I said, let me give it a try. And I'm so into it. Really? Yeah, because it's awesome. Because I'm watching some of it with you, and I'm like...

Because you have to, it looks a little cheesy with the HD and the, here's the thing. It's entertaining in that the kids are, it's like watching a- It's a soap opera. It's a soap opera, but these are like Judeo-Christian, blue blood, rich people on the Upper East Side that I know nothing of. Like, this is a foreign world to me. This, you know, prep, private school, New York City-

kind of life where these kids kind of run rampant and do whatever. So it's very entertaining. This is the breakout star making performance of Blake Lively. And by the way, also encouraged me to watch to see like, I didn't even know who she was or what she did before. I gotta say, I think it was all written.

I think it's all written. I think she, you know, in terms of acting, I feel like her acting is really manipulative. I think you have to be an actor to kind of know what I'm saying. And that sounded very elitist, but bear with me. It's like when she's acting, it's almost like she's not just in the character. It almost comes across as if she's manipulated the person she's talking to while in air.

air quotes being in character. Does that make sense? You got to peep it. You got to see what I'm saying. It's like when she's doing a scene with a guy, it's almost like,

Blake Lively is manipulating the person while pretending to be the character. Right. There you go. Boom. I just hit it. That's like four degrees of Blake Lively. Yes. It's wild. The only thing I ever saw her in and she was good. She was like, I thought she was very good is the town. She played Ben Affleck's girlfriend. Excellent in the town. And she was like a Boston white trash little sex fuck girl.

And that's all I've ever seen her in. And it was really authentic, almost like really too real. I think that might live in her also. But when I'm watching next time, see if you can see what I'm saying. It's like...

You know why? Because I saw her do it. There's a behind the scenes of her and Justin Baldoni. They're probably doing like a pickup shot where there's no sound and they're dancing or it's a rehearsal and the background's moving. The people are dancing and she's talking to him about how the scene should go. And it is the character.

From the show. Serena from Gossip Girl. It's wild. Anyway, I'm going to finish. I want to finish it. I wish you would have started from the beginning. I wouldn't get into it. I know you wouldn't. But I watched that and it's kind of kiddy-ish. But listen, I've watched worse. Listen, in this day and age, in this time that we're in right now, April 2025, to find anything...

Where you can decompress. Oh, yes. And it's just like. Check out. Totally checking out. I support it all. Right. So I don't criticize gossip. I don't criticize any of it. I think it's all needed. I think it's all fantastic. It's just for me, we talk about this is only so many hours in the day. We do all our Bravo. We do all our news. We got the NBA playoffs. That's next week. Yeah. So you got to get ready for that. Okay.

I meant to watch Auburn, the college, but I don't know what I was doing. Yes, and the girls played. Yeah. But, you know, I support any mundane, simple television. I used to spit on it, but now I get it. I think reality TV turned you out, so you're more accepting. It's so good. I'll never forget that first...

My trepidatious time when I first dated you sneaking upstairs on a Sunday to watch Housewives of Beverly Hills. And that one chick that I was fascinated. I was like, is this for real? What's her name? The designer. The blonde designer with her sons and the husband. You know, the girl that we used to love. Was it New Yorker? No, she had her own show. I was tripping off her. Oh, Rachel Zoe.

underrated show. I was like, I was so, I was like, is this a real person? I never got the story on why she, her show stopped. Do you know why? Do I? I don't know. I just, she came and went, she, she came in like a wrecking ball and then she disappeared. But her and her, her husband and the,

Self-indulgence. I was like, I remember being like, what the fuck is this? It was so good. That show was so good. Is her clothing still a thing? I don't think, remember we went into her store, Tammy and I went into her store in the center in Palisades. And Tammy and I were in there and she came in there and I freaked out. Did you talk to her? Yeah, of course. I think I said I was Michael Rapaport's wife. She could give two shits. No, could give two shits. But like I tried to name drop so that she would give us a little bit more time. Nothing.

I'm obsessed with that woman. So she had a standing brick and mortar, Rachel Zos, I think that's what it was called. And Tammy and I bought some of her classic bell-bottom pants. We both bought a pair of pants. I don't think I ever wore... I gotta ask Tammy if she's worn her. But she was in there and she was like, we were trying on clothes. She was like, oh, it's so cute. It was really funny. That woman, she needs to be on television. She was great. She really does.

I don't know what happened, but that was a good show. Her and her kids and the husband and the fucking, she just had, I admired that kind of like, I have an ego. My ego is a healthy ego. But I also have a little bit of like, what's the word? Like maybe shame or dignity or something. And this is why we were talking the other day. We were watching Married to Medicine. Yes. Which ended Married to Medicine again. Toot toot.

Yes. Great season. It was only two episodes of the reunion, right? Oh, I don't... Yes, it was only two. I was hoping there was three. Yeah, me too, but there was only two. But every time a season ends, you have to close a piece of your heart and just hold on to that season and wait...

for the next season but when we were watching the whole recap of married to medicine and the reunion and the fighting and the dr g and the king and all the shit that was going on yeah we came to terms yeah while we were watching we're like we could never be on a show like this because the wives and the husbands like if i was in front of you and another woman was like bitch i

I know you're not supposed to get caught up in women's business. Oh, but you would. And by the way, if it happens in reverse, if somebody was like, your husband's annoying. Oh no.

no. Oh, no, you did it. I mean, I would go so hood so fast. We get arrested. I mean, something, remember when somebody said something to us on the street and somebody walked by you and said, fuck you. You screamed it really loud, but you were on the other side of me. So it really was like, fuck you in my ear, but it was loud. I think we, we chased the bitch almost to the park. I mean, it was, we were out of control. We gave the bitch an experience. We really did. She was scared. She didn't think she was getting an experience. No, no, no. She was not expecting that, but we both equally, I,

I think sometimes in couples, there's like, you balance each other out. And I think a lot of times I'm operating in my highest self.

to keep things level. But when I get down and dirty, I'm right there with you. That's what brought us together when we were young kids. We both have a scrappy mentality. We're both kind of like, not that we're street kids. We're not bullies. We're not bad, but we're not, we're not, we're not even tough. We're both very sensitive, loving people, but don't fuck with us or anybody we love. It just is a thing we both have. Right now. I don't know if they're able to contain themselves because you always look down on housewives and,

But then I was like, if I was in this situation, I would be worse. Way worse than anything we've ever seen. By the way, I

I imagine my best friend on a show and somebody was talking about her. Oh, hell no. Like it would, I'd set the house on fire. It would just not be healthy for me. You're not even like a badass. Like I look at some of these women on these other shows. I'm not at all, but I'm protective. They contain themselves based on how I don't know. See, they're not like, for instance, married to medicine with Dr. Simone goes,

ape shit. I mean, she goes off on quad and you're looking at it like, whoa, like what's underneath that? Now they have a whole history and quad says something about, I was there when your dad, when you were looking for your daddy and Dr. Simone was like, that was when the cameras were off that, you know, what do you do for me when the cameras are off now? I don't think she could contain it.

No, she freaked out. But she does quite often. Like, she goes off quite often. And... Well, it's surprising because she's... I don't think she goes off quite often. But when she does, it's jolting because she's so chill. Enough times, baby. In the last two seasons, she goes off in a way because she's so brilliant and so measured in how she treats her son and her relationship with her husband. So when you see her with these women go like that, it's like, wait, what's coming out? Like, something else is coming out. And I think it's...

You know, I always want to talk to one of them like deeply and have them like share sort of like what's going on psychologically with some of this stuff and their history with the girls off the show. But then I don't want to because I don't want to ruin it. I'm too big of a fan. So I don't really want to know. I don't really want to know. But I'm getting the feeling like Contessa coming on and then that fight that she had with Dr. Heavenly. I mean, this is heated fighting. They're almost putting hands on each other. Yes. Now,

I'm not above that, I don't think. That's what I'm saying to you. So when we watched it the other day, we always... No, it dawned on us. Yeah, it dawned on us that there's no... Because sometimes we entertain like, oh, can we maybe... There's no way we could be... Not in a group like that. No. Not in a group where you could be attacked. We could do it if it was on our own. If we were together, yeah, just our own reality show. But when you start throwing us in there and they're like, bitch, if I was around you and someone said, bitch, to you, I don't know what I would do. Because...

I just, I don't even know what I would do if somebody. Look what happened when somebody said, fuck you on the street directed at you. I literally, a stranger had to come over and pull me because I was like, and she had a cigarette in her hand and she's like putting it in my face. And I said, I will break your hand off.

And I will drag you into the park and beat your fucking ass. Does that seem like, look at me, look at me truly deeply. Does that seem like me? No, but I have it in me. And I had it in me in high school. I had that in me. Ask my sister, ask Donya. Like I have that in me. I will fight. But the thing that was funny about that moment is it happened. You ever see like dogs fight and then they just go. And they just start walking. And some man came over and said, I know who you guys are. It's not worth it. Yeah. And I was like, you're right. Okay.

right okay so we turned around we just started walking home it was like it didn't even happen it was so bizarre that moment should tell you how we would behave on a reality show forget it no it's never happening

They'd be like- Ashamed and embarrassed of ourselves. It would be more so you because people would expect me to be fucking nuts. Right. And I'd give them exactly what they expect. Exactly. That's- And more. And the whole thing. And then they would say, oh, there's a reason why she's married to him. But they'd be like, oh, the sweet wife and Kibi with her sparkly brown slash green eyes and her smiley ways and her hippie vibe. And then they'd be like, she's fucking crazier than him. Yeah. Oh, I am though. I am. I am.

That's a fact. You're Pisces. I'm Scorpio. I am. I will cut you. That's why I always send you those memes on Instagram to remind you who you're married to. Like, I just want you to slightly know that, you know, you see the Scorpio, how they really are, what's going on. But I need you to know and be aware that that's there. And anytime you need it, baby, I'm there. I got you.

I'm Israel Gutierrez, and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and

and let the players know that we're here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny six-foot-two hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dove Dynasty. The Doves Dynasty is still very much alive.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published, and he was unlike any first-time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. Has spent 24 of those years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show.

Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my spleen, break my ribs. I had my guts all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Roger.

What is your take on Dr. G, aka Dr. Four Eyes? So,

Now, you didn't watch early on when he was married to Quad. He said crazy shit to Quad. Now, she's volatile and she's got kind of a, you know, she plays the victim a lot. But in her relationship to him, the parts that I'm remembering off the top of my head, she deserved the right to like clap back at him because he has a big mouth. He's very, very insecure, as you can see.

You know, the men were trying to talk him down on the reunion. They tried. They tried. And he wasn't going for it. They tried to talk him down all season. They tried to tell him to apologize. I think that he is, by the way, the fact that this is a psychiatrist is like wild to me. I'm sure you can be really good at your job. I don't know. But, you know, there was that one scene where Dr. Heavenly's husband sent him clients. They had a little thing.

you'd sent him somebody and one of them sent him somebody and Dr. G kind of turned down the person because it was too volatile of a client for him to take on. He didn't think he could help or whatever. So I think there's behind the scenes stuff. These guys are all working doctors are very successful people. So anyway, you asked me a question. My point is, is that let me tell you something. If you talk to me like that,

On television. Because couples are couples. You've talked crazy to me before. I've talked crazy to you. Oh, you mean the way Dr. G talks to Sweet Tea? The way he talked to Sweet Tea, that last scene that they keep replaying, they played it twice on the reunion. He shut the door. And she was like, shut the fuck up. You have your mic on. Yeah, hot mic. And he didn't stop.

I would be, you shut the fuck up right now. I would go off, right? And if you couldn't talk yourself down off the ledge and breathe through your nose, like I say, yeah, breathe through that nose and look me in the eye and shut the fuck up. I'm trying to save you from you looking crazy on TV. I'm breathing. That was then, but I'm telling you, I go back to Quad's relationship with him and he was abusive. Right.

Period. Blank. Even King?

Who doesn't comment on their thing? Yes. He seems pretty chill. Yeah. He said, what did he say about him talking to her like that? He's like, that was weird. Yeah, no. That wasn't okay. He said, that's fucked up. That was fucked up. I like King. I think he's good for Quad. Yeah, he's chill. I think Quad has to work on a little bit of her victim mentality and take some responsibility because she does take responsibility, but it's an and but kind of like sort of thing. Right. Yeah.

And sometimes I think she should just swallow it and be like, you know what? I didn't need to say anything. It's okay. Right. But as far as he's concerned, I think if anybody could handle him, it's Dr. Forrest. Dr. Forrest. By the way, you met, you recorded me saying, calling him Dr. Forrest. Because I want to show people we posted on Instagram. I want to show people the intensity of how we watch.

Yeah, I was mad at that scene. I called him Dr. Four Eyes, shut the fuck up. Like his first name is Four Eyes and his last name is shut the fuck up because he was making me so mad because I don't like an abusive man. Yes. You know how I get. Even if I think you're talking crazy to me, I want to snatch out your front teeth. Yes. So I don't like it. And I think to do it on TV is wild for me. But if anybody can handle it because she has combat training, she said it. She said it.

She can handle it. Okay. Anyway, moving on to the housewives of Atlanta's last episode. I got to ask you now it's out there. Now that we know the reason why she was asked to leave the show. How do you feel about Kenya Moore? All of your history aside. I have seen Kenya Moore since our incident on watch what happens live. I understood why that happened. I get it. I did not love it.

That being said, we've seen her. You've seen her. Yeah, I saw her at BravoCon. She was nice. Lovely. Not so much eye contact. No, not a lot. She doesn't give a lot. She gives just enough. Right. But also, I do believe... And wasn't she on Wendy when I was on Wendy? Yes, she came on Wendy. Yes. But I also think that in that instance at BravoCon, she's working and there was a head of...

There was a head of NBC there. She wasn't twirling then. No, no, no. I think she was trying to get attention from the head and secure her next season. That's what it came across as. That being said, with my incident on Watch What Happens Live, we've moved on. I've seen her. She came on Wendy Williams, which was big of her when I was hosting. Yeah. Fantastically. Yes. Somebody said to me the other day, said, you were so good on Wendy Williams. And I said, wasn't I? Oh, you were.

I really thought, I mean, had it not been that it was a black woman show and they were going to give it to, but I really thought there was a chance that you could be the host of the Wendy Williams show for the interim until she got well or whatever. You were so dang good. By the way, when you do the hot topics, you sat there. No, no,

Just like off the cuff. It was incredible. Spit taking. It was a lot of fun hosting that show. Oh man, you did such a great job. Thank you, babe. I want to go back and watch some of it because it was so damn good. Well, they removed them all. Oh. They removed her show, my show. Something with the rights, I don't know. Wow. Interesting. But it's etched in our memory. That being said,

What do you think? Did I ever tell you about Watch What Happens Live when that happened? Because when I went on Watch What Happens Live with Kenya... I don't think... Well, maybe. You know, I went backstage beforehand, like I do with all of them. And I went into her dressing room and I said, I'm glad to be here with you. I'm a fan. I hope you never took anything. But

Not a lot of eye contact, nothing. And then when we went out there... She had planned to get you on camera, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So we know that Kenya... She's an interesting character. To say the least. Here's the thing. You did it to yourself, Kenya Moore. You had a Kenya Moore hair care. We know the song. Kenya Moore hair care. Kenya Moore hair care. Kenya Moore hair care. Kenya fucked it up. Yeah, Kenya...

You had your opening for your brick and mortar. The whole thing was, this is for my daughter, and I'm a mom. Beautiful spa, by the way. Beautiful spa. Yeah, and this is all about my daughter and the legacy and all the buzzwords and want to be entrepreneurs and want to be ballers, shot callers, shit that everybody says because everybody else says it. And you listen, Jay-Z says it. And the whole thing's for your daughter, and you work so hard, blood, sweat, and tears. Yes, yes.

And you bring in these, I don't know how big these things are, like four by four blowups of what's a Brit? Brit. Who, listen, based on what I could see, she did threaten that she had a handgun and she had which- Wait, but I was going to ask you that. I didn't hear the pew pew part. Like, did you? I didn't hear her go pew pew, but she said, I got pistols. She said it. Oh, she did. I didn't-

I don't know. I can't, when they played it back, when they showed it again, it was clear as day. Okay. It wasn't, she didn't say, she didn't argue that it wasn't clear as day. Keep it in my, right. She did. That's right. She came back and she said, I said what I said, it wasn't right. But to have this event for your, your business and the whole thing's about your business and your daughter and what kind of a mom you are, what kind of legacy you want to leave. And you used that time. And then Britt came in with flowers. She ignored Britt. Kenya ignored Britt. Britt,

Um, Brit left. She left. Yeah. And I do want to notice, cause I rewound it before she did her presentation of the pictures. And I guess it's called revenge porn. Yeah. You see her taking a shot. Yeah. Something. Yeah. But Brit left. So Brit left before she went on her tangent or right when she went on her tangent, but before she started doing the pictures, cause it came across like she was just do a thank you for everybody coming. But by the time she started the whole Brit thing, Brit wasn't there.

So Britt didn't see it. And she was very clearly. I think she was. I don't I don't think she cared whether she was there or not.

Which is even stupider. Right. Because she did it for the people in front of her in the audience, which is fucked up. Stupid choice. Because she is one of our iconic housewives and she stooped that fucking low for some new bitch. And I don't think that was correct. And neither did any of her friends. No, it was crazy. It was like, what are you losing your mind? 55 cent.

Cynthia Bailey, the great Cynthia Bailey, owner of Bailey Lake, uh,

And resorts. Is it Bailey Lake? I don't know about this, what you're talking about. You know her home. She called it Bailey Lake. Lake Bailey. And classy. One of the classiest housewives. And by the way, what she said to Kenya after was very, very classy and dignified and graceful. As a friend, she stuck around and basically was like, I'm going to leave. But they were all like, no. Portia was like, no. She left. They were all like, no. They don't want to be there. No. They didn't want to be a part of it. Because I guess they all knew like, yo. No.

There's going to be ramifications to this. Legal actions could be taken. Yeah, sure. And people are saying, well, why didn't they throw Britt off the show? They did the investigation and Kenya did it to herself. She did this to herself. And she did it to herself literally for the gram. She did it for the show and she didn't even do it in her face because like I said, she left. So why are you doing this? And within the whole sequence of events, when she took out the pictures of her in some sexual act,

Two minutes before she was going, again, this is for my daughter. I'm like, this is for your daughter? Whenever these housewives bust out props...

It never goes like how they think it's going to go. And this is not the reunion. No. Save it for the reunion. No need for props. There was no need for receipts. This was all about your hair. You should have did a demonstration on a shampoo and blow dry is what you could have been doing with all those people standing there. This was so bad for your business. Yeah, it was ridiculous. So bad for your career as a housewife.

I don't know if she's going to return. I don't know if she's going to be welcome back. I don't know what's going to happen, but it was a stupid, stupid, stupid choice. I think it's bad. I think it's sad because we're already struggling with the show. We need those icons there. The show is struggling. It's just not even, and then it brought down, it was brought down to a beloved hip hop level.

No disrespect, but it's not my thing. It just got too ratchety with that. It's too ratchety. Too quick. Now there was an indication of somebody sucking a D and we're seeing tits off the top everywhere. And I just, it's too, no, it's too dank for me. Dank and stanky. No, thank you. It's dank and stanky. And it's like a reboot. Porsche's just there for the check. Yep.

Yeah, poor Portia. I mean, because she's... Bring back Candy!

And Marlo, for God's sake. Bring back the OGs. Bring back Candy. Bring back Marlo. Bring back the original group and bring back Kenya. Just bring them all back. Yeah, because I think trying to reboot it or trying to like add characters has brought it down. For whatever reason, they were trying to rearrange things. I think it was because it started to get toxic. Right. That's what happens. It gets a little toxic. They have to do a revamp. Yeah.

But this one's toxic. It's starting out toxic. More toxic than it's ever been. Yeah. And not only is it toxic, it's just...

We're not invested emotionally. We've talked about Shamia. They're giving her like the most confessional time. And it's just been a disappointing start to this season and losing Kenya, whether you like her or not. She's a great housewife. Great housewife. A great shade reader. But it gets to the point where some of these women seem like they're just showing up. And if you don't love being on the show, you don't love being a part of the show.

It's very noticeable when we've seen you love being part of the show and love being part of the cast. And like I said, Portia's one of the great housewives of all time. She said, turn the camera off, get the camera off me, get this mic off. And she wasn't involved at the scene. She was like, I don't want to get arrested either. Yeah, I know.

I'm Israel Gutierrez, and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that

We were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny six-foot-two hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Rushmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dove Dynasty. The Doves Dynasty is still very much alive.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published, and he was unlike any first-time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. Has spent 24 of those years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show.

Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my spleen, break my ribs. I had my guts all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Roger.

Hey kids, it's me, Kevin Smith. And it's me, Harley Quinn Smith. That's my daughter, man, who my wife has always said is just a beardless, dickless version of me. And that's the name of our podcast, Beardless Dickless Me. I'm the old one. I'm the young one. And every week we try to make each other laugh really hard. Sounds innocent, doesn't it? A lot of cussing, a lot of bad language. It's for adults only.

Or listen to it with your kid. Could be a family show. We're not quite sure. We're still figuring it out. It's a work in progress. Listen to Beardless with me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Do you remember what you said the first night I came over here? How? Go slower? From Blumhouse TV, iHeart Podcasts, and Ember 20 comes an all-new fictional comedy podcast series. Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend. And Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi. And what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously. Hmm.

Mmm, pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out-of-his-element hero as he engages in a series of ill-conceived investigative hookups. Mama always used to say, God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And, as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.

Take a big whiff, my bra. Listen to The Hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. Southern Charm also came to an end with a great three-part reunion. Fun.

Craig and Shep. And what's the other guy's name? They were great. All the beefing. I love that show so much. That and Married to Medicine right now, my favorites. Summer House is great. Summer House too, yeah.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Great. I know. It's all great. I can't pick. You know, it's so hard. They're like children. It's hard to pick your favorite. And then we got The Valley, which is premiering, I think, next week. Yep. We got The Valley coming up, which looks to be great. Yes. And we were hedging on that the first season, but I think they found their groove and they found their vibe and they found the formula that works for that show.

So we have a bunch of good shows. We got a second episode of the reunion of Beverly Hills. Can't wait. I mean, that's just looking... I mean, the trailer looks really fun. Kathy Hilton has a great moment in that where she talks about being Chinese. She's just the best. Don't ever change Kathy Hilton. She's doing good. Yeah. She's doing good. And like we said, Garcelle, she's gone...

and I don't think Garcelle's ever coming back. No. She left the door open for herself, and she made it seem like this, that, and the third. She did? Where? I mean, the way she's leaving, she's feeling like she's leaving on her own terms. I think by the time she wants to come back, the show will have evolved. Yes. And I feel like... I don't think she'd want to come back. She'd want to come back. You think so?

Yeah. That attention's hard to let go of, huh? I don't know. I don't know why she would. I think her career is moving in other directions. I think she's producing and acting and other stuff, creating stuff. Maybe she won't need to come back. What is your opinion now that we've diagnosed and seen all the backstory and writing on the wall of Paige?

Is Paige a mean girl? No. She's not a mean girl. I mean, if Paige is a mean girl, then I am. Well, you're fucking crazy. Yeah. We've already said you're... I'm just saying, if she's a mean girl, so am I. I mean, she's Scorpio. I love Paige. I love her. I love her. Here's the thing. She probably should have broke up with Craig after year one. A year of dating him should have been enough. Like, the girl... No, that is... I don't know you, and I know he's not for you.

Okay. Right. Just you are sophisticated, metropolitan city girl. You need like a kind of a dick, like hedge fund guy that you don't have to see all the time. Like somebody who's wealthy, who can have fun with you, but you don't have to really deal with. You like your cat. You like your clothes. You like to work. You

You need somebody on par with that. This guy wants to play Susie Homemaker in Charleston. This is not even... What are we talking about here? Right. I just don't think... So she's coming across looking like... Because every woman in the world wants to see when a guy likes you so much, you should acquiesce. Now, fuck that. That's not for her. Right. Sorry, he's not the one. So she's looking like the bad guy, and I think it's kind of unfair. Right. And by the way, he played...

dishonestly on the show with his friends. They're all rolling his eyes knowing this, knowing what I'm saying right now. So he looks like the victim and she's looking like the bad one. And I think it's kind of unfair. Team Paige, 100%. I'm Team Paige all the way too. But sometimes I'm like, damn, she don't give a fuck. She's just harsh. So what? Like she's harsh, but there's humor in what she says. People take it too seriously because she's a strong individual female. Yes. Man up. Guys,

Yes. I guess, you know, she should have broke up a long time ago. And in a way, it takes two to tango. Yeah, he's playing a... He was kind of victim-y, too, throughout the whole thing. Like, I don't know, I want a family. It's clear. And he's not very warm either. Even though he's wanting a family and the bees and the fucking flower beds and all that stuff...

The warmth. He's not very warm and cuddly. No, I think the guy's still trying to find himself. You know, look at him. You know, he's telling Austin that he has this...

I think he used the word himself. Like, I'm not saying that for him. He said, I'm an addict. He said, I'm an addict. Right. So, but then when he's talking about it on the reunion, it's kind of hard to say, you know, he's still trying to figure himself out. I think, and he probably has no business. I see he's got a new girl he's dating that looks like might be for him. You know, I just don't think they were for each other.

other, period. You know, and I think they're both looking crazy. Yeah. So they're both looking crazy when you're holding onto something that shouldn't be held onto. Anyway, it's a great, great time and it's going to get greater. Like we said, with the new generation or the next generation, we got the Valley. We have the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion. We have great, great shows out there and we're just trying to keep up.

with all of it. Obviously, as we mentioned earlier, Babe is deep into her. Gossip girl. Deep into your gossip girl. I love it. So we have so much to watch, so much to discuss, and we love doing it on Rap Reports Reality. So make sure you tell a friend to tell a friend about Rap Reports Reality. Subscribe, rate, review, because I know you don't like doing this, Babe. This was a fantastic episode. Yet another. I knew you were going to say that. Every

Because we cooked. We cooked. We cooked. We ate. We ate. We ate the whole thing. We ate the whole thing. So tell a friend to tell a friend about Rap Reports Reality. Thanks for listening. We will be back next week. Love you, babe. Love you, babe.
