Number one obviously thrill. 88 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: Number one was hanging around chatting, talking it up with 89 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: all of the Traders who were housewives. There were five housewives. 90 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I could say this now it's been documented they're on 91 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: the commercials. The five housewives were, of course Portia Williams 92 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: from Atlanta, Dorenda Medley who they brought back into the 93 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: Castle callin Stansbury, Candice Dillard and Lisa Rinna. And that's 94 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: like an all star team for me, So I got 95 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: to yuck it up with those women and that was 96 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I will say that the second 97 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: most favorite thing that I had on season four of 98 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: was to actually be on a competition reality show because 99 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: as you know, I love reality TV, and like I said, 100 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: my wife and I Kibi, we break all things down 101 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: reality TV every single Wednesday with Rapaport's Reality, but to 102 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: actually be a part of it and to get a 103 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: sense of how they're actually made and behind the curtain, 104 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: because it's definitely not like shooting a TV show. It's 105 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: definitely not like shooting a movie. That was very, very, 106 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: very very very that was a trip. I'm glad I 107 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: did it. I had fun doing it, and it was 108 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: definitely very exciting. Number three, I would say the third 109 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: most I would say probably the most challenging thing about 110 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: doing Traders was the no phone. The no phone and 111 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: not being on your own time schedule and not being 112 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: able to look at your phone and not being able 113 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: to have access to your phone, and not being able 114 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: to have access to the TV when you want to 115 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: watch the TV. And you know, not that I love work, 116 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: but like this was a different kind of work and 117 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: it's Scotland. It's far away, and you know, there's a 118 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: sort of a secretiveness when you're doing it. Obviously, you 119 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: can't speak to anybody. There's only phone calls when you're 120 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: around producers and all that stuff. That was probably the 121 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: most challenging part of the actual shooting of the show. 122 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: And the fourth thing, let me see, what's the fourth 123 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: thing that I could take away from season four. Shit, 124 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be watching it with you guys watching it 125 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: because I'm a fan of Traders. We love fucking Traders, 126 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: and that's why I did it. So I'm gonna be 127 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: as excited as I was every single season heading into 128 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: this Thursday, January anyway, I'm excited about that coming on. 129 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited about people seeing it. I'm excited about reactions. 130 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm a little freaked out by it. I'm a little 131 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm definitely I'm excited, freaked out and excited, also excited. 132 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: I finally saw one battle after another directed by the 133 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: excellent Paul Thomas Anderson, who of course directed Magnolia and 134 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: Boogie Knights and so many great films in the last 135 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen twenty years. I don't know when his 136 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: first film came out with Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio 137 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: del Toro, Tiana Taylor, this young girl, Chase Infinity, and 138 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: I really fucking liked one battle after another. First of all, 139 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: the story is very unique. I was having a conversation 140 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: with somebody about, you know, whether you like the characters, 141 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: whether you don't like the characters. I've never been one 142 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: of these people who has to like the characters. My 143 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: favorite movie is Raging Bull. Do you think I want 144 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: to hang out with Jake Lamada, the late great Jake 145 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Lamado or the character that Robert de Niro depicted as 146 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: Jake Lamada and ragable? Of course not. You know, I 147 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: don't care about whether the characters likable or not. Scarface, 148 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: Training Day. You love these movies, you love these characters. 149 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: You love Denzellen, Training Day, you love Scarface, you love 150 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: al Pacino and Scarface. You don't want to hang out 151 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: with these people. So I've never been one of these 152 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: people who judges the characters and like, oh, they're not likable. 153 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: There's no likable people, you know, although I thought these 154 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: characters were very likable, but you know, like they're revolutionaries, 155 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: they're like Antifa, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tianna Taylor and Benizio. 156 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: They're all like fucking crazy, fucking you know underground, you 157 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: know Antifa, you know, bring it down, you know, revolutionaries 158 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: that are blowing shit up, which obviously no one likes 159 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: people that blow things up, but it's a movie, and 160 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, the character that they play, the characters that 161 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: they all portray are very likable. I don't care what 162 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: they do. But first of all, Leonardo was excellent. There 163 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: was I mean, he's really fucking good. Leonardo is so 164 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: good and continuing to be good and continuing to get 165 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: better and to evolve and sort of grow up in 166 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: front of our eyes as an actor and as a person. 167 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: And I felt like there were some scenes in this 168 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: movie where you really got to see what I know 169 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: of him, just to strip down. There was no character 170 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: at certain points. It was just you know who he is, 171 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: the essence of who he is, which I've always said 172 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: is a good guy. Obviously a stickman hall of fame, 173 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: but just a good guy and a classy guy. And 174 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: I think that came through a lot in this character. 175 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: He's very just unique. You never seen him sort of 176 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: be like this. It's definitely the oldest character. It's a 177 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: more mature Leonardo DiCaprio, believable, funny, fun and you're rooting 178 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: for him. Benizio's fucking awesome and very funny. He plays 179 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: this sense to Leonardo's character and to his daughter played 180 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: by this young actress named Chase Infinity, who is gonna 181 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: have a great Chris. She's beautiful. She's just gritty and 182 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: tough and awesome. But Beniso is very funny in this movie. 183 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: And I can't remember another role where he was this 184 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: sort of light and funny, because he's always, you know, 185 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: playing brooding characters because he's been he's so del Toro. 186 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: You know, he's fucking Benny the Bull. He's brooding, and 187 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: you know he's got you know, the hair and looks 188 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But he was sort of funny 189 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: and in a way, you know, in a most respectful way, 190 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: a little bit goofy, but you love him. You love 191 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: his character, and he's another revolutionary lunatic in this movie. 192 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: And Paul Thomas Anderson. The direction is dope, the sound 193 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: is dope. Visually it's dope. I do regret that I 194 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: didn't see this movie in the theaters. I will admit 195 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: that I should have went to go see this movie 196 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: in the theaters. My wife and I watch it on 197 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: the big screen at home, And because I had read 198 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: so much about the cinematography and the sound and the 199 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: way it was shot on the seventy millimeter in the 200 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: IMAX this and the IMAX that, and the throwback cameras 201 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: and a shot on film, I will admit that I 202 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: should have saw this in the theaters, but I didn't. 203 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: But I still got a sense of the greatness of 204 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: how it looked and the greatness of the sound. And 205 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a perfect movie by any means. 206 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's an easy movie to watch by 207 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: any means, but I will say I give it a big, big, 208 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: rousing two thumbs up. Tiana Taylor was excellent. She's fucking 209 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: nuts and just intense as fucking She's just got a 210 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: charisma and energy. You know, she's got a very, very 211 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: big career ahead of her as an actress because just 212 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: who she is as a person and what she brings 213 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: and her tenacity, and you know, the music is great 214 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: and you never really kind of know what's gonna go on. 215 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: And Sean Penn is fucking Sean Penn Man, He's he's 216 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 1: fucking great. Sean Penn plays the antagonists to everybody in 217 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: the movie, and he's a motherfucker, and as much of 218 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: a motherfucker as he is in this film, you still 219 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: really like them again, you know, I don't have to like, 220 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: you know, personally, any character in any movie to like 221 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: them in a movie, and in a weird way, root 222 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: for him, although you're not rooting for him, but he's 223 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: fun to be in this film anyway. One Battle after 224 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: Another is dope. I highly recommend it. It's long, it's great, 225 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: it looks good, there's stunts, there's action, it's visually fucking dope. 226 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: The story is unpredictable. You can't really compare it to 227 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: anything else. It's kind of like a little indie film 228 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: with giant stars and a giant director attached to it 229 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: and performing in it. It's definitely like an indie vibe film, 230 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: but with you know, a lot of money and a 231 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: lot of fucking star power. And I say that with 232 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: all due respect, but I give a rousing two thumbs 233 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: up to One Battle after Another, which is a lot 234 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: of fun, and it's streaming and you can watch it 235 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: on HBO. This and HBO that, and Amazon Prime and 236 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: Prime this and Prime that. It's easy to find, and 237 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: it just won some award critics Award for Best Picture, 238 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: Best Screenplay and all that shit. And I haven't gotten 239 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: to see Marty Supreme. I've heard mixed things about. Everyone 240 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: says that Timothy Shamalama ding Dong is really good in 241 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: it and you should see it, but I haven't heard. 242 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: I haven't gotten to see it. I probably, I don't know. 243 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: My wife said maybe we go see it tonight. I 244 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: don't know. I want to go see it, but right 245 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: now I'm just amped up on one battle after another. 246 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: And we also watched Sinners, which I did not see 247 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: in the theaters, which I really like. That also Ryan Coogler, 248 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: another film I wish I saw in the movie theaters. 249 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: But we're getting to the point where it's like going 250 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: to the movie theater. It's like going to a fucking 251 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: pool hall or something like that. It's like a nietzsch 252 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 1: fucking thing. It sucks, And I know that's my fault. 253 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: You know, I should go while they're still here, because 254 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: I think in five or six years, as hard and 255 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: as much of an arm twist as it is to 256 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: go see a movie. Now it's literally gonna be like, 257 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, trying to find a place to go play 258 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: pool in a few years, which sucks, that really does so. 259 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: But I did like Sinners a lot, and that Ryan 260 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: Coogler's Dope and Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo and 261 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: that entire cast. It was dope jumbo, Josh Allen's I 262 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: believe it's his wife. I think he got married to 263 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: that Hailey Steinfeld. She's in it, and it's really good. 264 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: And I'm not a vampire persons. It's kind of a 265 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: vampire film, but it's got a lot of heart, a 266 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: lot of story, and a lot of depth. So we 267 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: watched both those things and I give them both a 268 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: two rousing thumbs up. With Sinners, I give it a 269 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: two bytes up because you know, there's there's vampires. What 270 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: else is going on? We got the NFL Playoffs, Man, 271 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: NFL Playoffs again, if you didn't listen to the Last 272 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: im Rapport stereo podcast, I was able to watch the 273 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: games this weekend with a completely different level of stress 274 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: and joy. Because unless you've been hiding living under a 275 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: rock somewhere, me mayor Rapaport, my team Rapaport's Delight.

Was it easy? Fuck? No, no, 278 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't easy. Did I win the Stern Show League? No? 279 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: Fuck no, Okay, that sucks. It's embarrassing. It's shameful that 280 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: of all these years playing in the Stern League, I 281 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: haven't been able to win the championship against bab Bab 282 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: Bowie and stuttering, stammering, confused J. D. Harmeier. But I 283 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: did win in my more competitive money league, champion Chip Time. 284 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: So I was able to watch the last week of 285 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: the NFL and I'm pumped up for the playoffs, and 286 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: I was able to watch it fucking Aaron Rodgers with 287 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: joy who's like forty, he's forty fucking two years old, 288 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: and somehow, someway, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the AFC North, 289 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: knocking down the Baltimore Ravens. And that poor Bassard, that 290 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: field goal kicker, rookie field goal kicker for the Ravens. 291 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: Poor fuck, that was tough to I didn't really care. 292 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I'm an old school Pittsburgh Steeler fan. 293 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: Going back to the time with Jack Lambert, Frank o'harris, 294 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: Lynn Swine, John Starworth, Me and Joe Green, Mel Blunt 295 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: and the whole crew. I love those Pittsburgh Steelers, but 296 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: I you know, it's not the same now. Now. I 297 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: care about my team roundports, like who we are champions. 298 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: But watching Aaron Rodgers play at that level at forty 299 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: two and that field goal kick wide right, wide right, 300 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: sometimes you want to hear wide right, sometimes you don't. 301 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: And obviously that rookie, poor bastard rookie field goal kicker, 302 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: I think his last name is something loop. I feel 303 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: bad for that fucking guy. But the playoffs are set 304 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: and we're starting off this week. Let's start with the 305 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: AFC A and the number one seeded Denver Broncos get 306 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: to relax Sauna's ice baths. The number seven Chargers go 307 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: to New England. Just when you thought the New England 308 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: Patriots and the Evil Empire we're gonna be gone and 309 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: forgotten about, they've built their team back up. The Patriots 310 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: defense front going against a weak Chargers offensive line. The 311 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: Chargers have weapon after weapon, but the Patriots that quarterback 312 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: young Drake, Young Drake May and fucking a tough, rough 313 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: and tough running back duo in Henderson and Stevenson, who 314 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: caused me havoc in my Fantasy Football Championship. But I 315 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: got gotta go with the Patriots to win Round one. 316 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't like saying anything positive about 317 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots, but but I got my money on the 318 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: Patriots to beat the Los Angeles Charge almost called in 319 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers. I got my money on the 320 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: Patriots to win round one versus the Charges. The sixth 321 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: seed goes to Jacksonville, who's going to play the white 322 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: hot Jaguars. Trevor with the good hair as somehow, some 323 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: way figured it out, but he needs to outperform the MVP, 324 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: the MVP Jumbo Josh Allen. The Bills have the most 325 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: underappreciated running backs into the game. James Cook is the 326 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: most underappreciated running back in the game who is a 327 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: big time difference maker. Led the league in rushing yards 328 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: this year. Sam goes to Jacoby Myers on the Jaguars, 329 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: who might be the trade of the year. Shit, this 330 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: might wind up being the game of the weekend, but 331 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I think the Jaguars take care 332 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: of business. I like the Bills. I like you, Jumbo Josh, 333 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: I loved your wife and Sinners, but I feel like 334 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are going to beat the Bills in a tough, tough, 335 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: close game. I'm sorry Buffalo, I'm sorry the good fans 336 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: of Buffalo and the Bills mafia. But if you're a 337 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: betting guy, I go with the Jaguars. Then the four 338 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: versus the five seed, the Texans versus the Steelers. As 339 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers somehow, someway 340 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: they won the division. But the Texans defense is a 341 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: problem and they are going to cause a lot of 342 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: fucking issues because they rush, rush, rush, rush, rush, and 343 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: they keep coming after you. And I think the Texans 344 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: are going to put away the Steelers and the steel curtain. 345 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: Moving on to the NFC, the Seahawks during the ice 346 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: baths too, fucking Sammy Smooches and that tough rough. That 347 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: legion of boom is back in Seattle, but they're resting. 348 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: So we have the Chicago Bears, who are hosting the 349 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, which should be a back and fourth 350 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: game if Jordan Love is healthy. We still don't know 351 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 1: as of the recording of this Iron Rapports stereo podcast 352 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: if he is going to be able to play at 353 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: full strength. I was unimpressed by the Bears defense and 354 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: a must win game against the forty nine ers that 355 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: was disgusting and ridiculous. But we can absolutely see an 356 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: upset of the Packers beating Chicago in Chicago. The Bears 357 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: should have lost to Green Bay the last time they played. 358 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: But Caleb will Yo, fucking Caleb Williams pulled a rabbit 359 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: out of his hat. He did it a few times 360 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: this year, and they recovered that on side kick. Give 361 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: me the Packers. Give me the fucking Packers. There's no 362 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: more rabbits. Give me the Packers with an upset. Even 363 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: though DeAndre Swift, I don't need to say any more 364 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: about you. If you ever come to New York when 365 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm Mayor of New York, everything's free. Everything is free. 366 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: We pick you up the airport police escored. Everything will 367 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: be free when I am Mayor of New York. DeAndre Swift, 368 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: you are my hero, But I gotta go with the 369 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: Packers in the upset. The three seed the Eagles are 370 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: gonna be hosting the sixth seed San Francisco forty nine 371 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Ers producer Miles Davis. That is his team. This is 372 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: gonna be a tough game. Both teams have flaws, but 373 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: both teams have veteran leadership that can step up and 374 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: bring home the w. It's hard for me to pick 375 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: against the Eagles at home, defending champions. They won the 376 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, okay, and they came up huge against Buffalo. 377 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: I think the Eagles will find a way to win 378 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: this one. But San Francisco, yeah, man, Without Trent Williams 379 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: and Fred Bigfred, I think that the Eagles are going 380 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: to pull it out. No Bruno, no Diddy Verse, the 381 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers, Christian McCaffrey kiddling them, they're little dinged up. 382 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: I gotta go with the Super Bowl champions. And then 383 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: finally we have the Los Angeles Rams going to Carolina 384 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: where the Panthers beat the Rams late this season. Remember that, 385 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: and DeVante is not playing obviously, they need him back 386 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: to be a true threat, but I think they put 387 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: up more points than the Panthers are able to produce. 388 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: Fucking Nakua, he catches everything. He's the best receiver in football. 389 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: Although Carolina has very good rookie receivers themselves, but give 390 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: me the rams to advance. Happy for Bryce Young. Remember 391 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: when they they were gonna write him off. That was 392 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: not looking good for Bryce Young. But he's back. Someone 393 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: had to win the NFC South and the Panthers got 394 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: And we're gonna be watching all the games. We're gonna 395 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 1: be breaking down all the games, all playoffs long. And 396 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: like I said, I am a fantasy football champion, and listen, 397 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to start. I don't When is it 398 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: appropriate or when does it become inappropriate to not get 399 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: your payoff, your payout as a fantasy football champion. I 400 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: don't care if it's a five dollars league, at twenty 401 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: dollars league, one hundred dollars league.

They took him in the darkness of night, 428 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: and lo and behold. Just a few hours later, in 429 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: New York City. Somehow, some way, there's signs, there's flags, 430 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: there's an entire movement with people on the street, marching 431 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 1: in screen and yelling to do what to free a 432 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: drug dealing dictator?

That, 434 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: Trump's a dictator. This, Trump's a dictator. That And when 435 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 1: they arrest a degenerate drug dealing dictator, people are in 436 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: the streets of New York saying they've kidnapped him. This 437 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: is not a kidnapped. All of a sudden, every hebe 438 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: was like, oh, they kidnapped him. This is illegal. They 439 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: kidnapped him. This is this. There was people, babies, children, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, 440 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: grandfathers who were kidnapped for months, months, months, years. Girls 441 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: at a time, young girls, twenty something year old girls 442 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: who were kidnapped, babies whose posters were being ripped down. 443 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: You didn't say anything that was in the name of resistance. 444 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: That was an uprising. When the United States, whether you 445 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: like it or not, goes and takes down an evil, 446 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: degenerate dictator, drug dealing dictator, you start going, oh, it's 447 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: a kidnapping. It's an illegal kidnapping. Get the fuck out 448 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: of you. Where did those signs come from? Where did 449 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: the flags come from? All of a sudden, everybody's Venezuela, 450 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: this venezuela that. But for some reason, while Venezuela, this 451 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: Venezuela that is happening, the actual people of an actual 452 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: evil empire ran by an actual dictator, a jeehottist ran 453 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: dictator in Iran. The people of Iran are uprising, fighting 454 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: for their lives, risking it all, men, women, young men, 455 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: young women in the streets, literally risking it all. Not 456 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: a person, nobody says anything about the people of Iran 457 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: who have been under fucking, terrible, terrible, miserable Islamic Jihannis 458 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: regime for fifty years, forty eight years. Not a no 459 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: one says anything. I don't understand it. So you're upset 460 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: about Venezuela because a dictator, a drug dealing dictator, gets arrested, 461 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: but you got nothing to say about Iran and what's 462 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: going on in Iran. I am praying for the people 463 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: of Iran. And again, I am no expert on the 464 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: history of Venezuela. I've been studying up on it the 465 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: last few days. I'm certainly no expert on the history 466 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: of Iran. I know a little bit more about that, 467 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: but I remember about a year ago on this ironrap 468 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: per Stereoponcus, I said something about in twenty twenty three. 469 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, there was another one of these 470 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: uprises in Iran and there were women that were being horrible. 471 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: Things were happening, and I didn't say that because I 472 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: felt like, who am I to say anything? I didn't 473 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: understand it, and I found and I said it on 474 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: this podcast. Back then, I said, I regret not saying anything, 475 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: so of course I was going to say something this Now. 476 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: I am praying for the people of Iran to overthrow 477 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: that evil, fucking regime in Iran, and I am praying 478 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: for the people of Venezuela to be able to live free, 479 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: to live prosperously. What an insane time we are living in. 480 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: Let me tell you some of the guys, girls, women, 481 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: children of all ages. Twenty twenty five was crazy and 482 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: I don't see it getting any fucking commer cooler in 483 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six the way things started. But that's why 484 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm running for mayor, and I announced my proposal my 485 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: candidacy for this upcoming election, and people are like, Oh, 486 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: it's upcoming, It's in twenty twenty nine. You got to prepare. Now, 487 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: what would Kobe do If Kobe was running for mayor 488 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: of New York City, what would he do? He'd be 489 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: preparing right now. He'd be waking up four thirty in 490 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: the morning.
