19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: able to appreciate this because this episode of the Iron

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Rapp Reports podcast is about losing. It's about the loneliness

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: and sadness the losing fantasy football can cause. So it's

22
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: been a couple hours since my team, my fantasy football

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: team in the Stern Fantasy Football League, the Howard Stern

24
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football League, um I lost in the fucking finals

25
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: to Gary de la Bonte. He beat Rapp Reports Delight

26
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: if you are unfamiliar with the Howard Sterns crew. Gary

27
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: de la Bante has been the producer for The Howard

28
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Stern Show for thirty years at least, and he's famously

29
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: named my Ma Ma mo monkey foi by B B

30
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: B bah Booi fa fa fa fooi. That's who Gary

31
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: de la Bante is. And um he fucking beat me.

32
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: And this is my first year in fantasy football, and

33
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: it's just I feel like I just should wrap myself

34
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: in a blanket and go to sleep, not in my bed,

35
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: like on the couch, wrapped up fetal position blanket because

36
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: I fucking lost essentially to a monkey. You know, I

37
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: made it to the finals. But next year, when they're

38
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: giving Gary de la Bante a k fa fa fooy

39
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: the trophy Um, his name will be on it. It

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: won't say he beat Michael Rappaports team. He beat Rappaports Delight.

41
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: That's the name of my team, of course. Um, it'll

42
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: just say Gary de la Bonte. And that's a fucking

43
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: pill I gotta swallow. Okay, but you know we made it.

44
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: We made it to the finals. I uh, my team

45
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: is me, my son Maceo who's twelve, and his friend

46
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Guru Gray. And you know we fought gallantly sixteen weekends,

47
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: sixteen sundays. I had something to live for, I had

48
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: something to love for, and I had something to die for.

49
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: That's right, those losses that I suffered. This loss, this

50
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: season ending blow is a fucking it's a mini death.

51
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: It's like losing a goldfish, you know, like it means something.

52
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: It's not like losing a dog. But it's like if you,

53
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: you know, took care of a fish for sixteen weeks

54
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: and then the little fucker died. That's how this feels.

55
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Probably worse than a goldfish. I might even No, I

56
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: can't say a puppy. That would be fucking horrible. I

57
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I wonder what I would

58
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: love to hear other people's opinions of losing fantasy football.

59
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: You could uh tweet me what it's like to lose

60
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: fantasy football. Don't tweet me what it's like to win.

61
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I don't give a funk

62
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: about your wins. I said at the top, this episode

63
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: was about losing. This is the I m Rappaport podcast.

64
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: This is an emergency fantasy football podcast. As I said,

65
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: I fucking lost. But you know what, this season, I

66
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: beat the ship out of a porn star. I beat

67
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: fucking Matt Berry, probably the most famous person in fantasy football.

68
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: I beat his ass twice. Okay, I beat I don't

69
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: want to say I we wrap Reports Delight. Beat Matt

70
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: Berry's ask twice. The guy is like a fucking fantasy

71
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: football savant. Okay, beat his ass, and trust me, he

72
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: did not get light getting his ass beat to wrap

73
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: Reports Delight. Nobody likes it because I talk shit. Talk

74
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: about your mom, talk about your dad, talk about your wife,

75
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: your ex wife. If I'm really in a bad space,

76
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: I'll talk about your kids. I don't give a fuck.

77
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: I I go for blood. Okay, And I think that

78
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: the psychological game is just as important. As the statistical game. Okay,

79
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, the psychological part of fantasy football.

80
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: Most people don't play this area. They underestimate the value

81
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: of of of uh, the psychological warfare that fantasy football. Uh,

82
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: that tactic, that game plan using that. Okay, and I

83
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: fucking worked it. I worked j D. I fucking worked

84
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: John Hind, I worked Scott Salem. I fucking worked them all.

90
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: You're playing for third and fourth place. You're a fucking loser. Bro.

91
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I played for the fucking cup, for

00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: the championship Cup, and I lost. Okay, you third, fourth, fifth,

93
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: sixth place. You motherfucker's haven't been playing for weeks, some

94
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: of you. I'm just kidding. It's fantasy football. The fuck No,

95
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: it hurts. So just to give you a statistically, I

96
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: sat Peyton manning the Super Bowl weekend. If you don't

97
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: know who Peyton Manning is. I don't know what the

98
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: fun to tell you. He's like Lebron James or fucking

99
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, Derek Jeter. Okay, he's fucking Peyton Manning. Um,

100
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: and that's probably gonna bite me in the ass tomorrow

101
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: because the Seattle Seahawks defense kicked ass from me and

102
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I tried to put in Maddie Ice from the Atlanta

103
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Falcons and he fucking didn't do shit. I think he

104
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: scored eighteen points. Peyton's gonna fuck the gods. The Manning

105
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: gods are gonna come back and bite me in the ass.

106
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,560

123
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,559

124
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: sort of dysfunctional relationship and some sort of dysfunctional sponsorship,

125
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,160

128
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: and it would be maybe it would be a half lemonade,

129
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: half mint iced tea, so it would be an honor.

130
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: We would actually call it the tiger Woods, okay, because

131
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Arnold Palmer is lemonade iced tea. But in reality, Arnold

132
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: Palmer is just lemonade. Get it. He's white tiger Woods,

133
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,280
