I told Colton I was 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: a fan. I followed his season, every episode of The Bachelor, 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: watched it, followed his story afterwards, watched the documentary, watched 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,479 Speaker 1: him with I believe it was Diane Sawyer where he 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: came out. I cried, I told him this, I'm a 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: fan of Colton. We got along well up until that 8 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: moment during the show. He's probably the only person in 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: there who I had a conversation with that was sort 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: of deep. You know.

The weather it's 65 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: it's pretty fantastic, although when I flew in there was 66 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: a storm. But these pilots are unbelievable. We got to 67 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: jump into it. This is gonna be an all Traders 68 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: behind the Scenes BTS episode. I have gotten so many 69 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: phone calls, DMS, emails, comments, love, hate, indifference. I have 70 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: been called in the last two weeks since Traders season four, 71 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: which has broken the record. Yo, I first want to 72 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: thank everybody who watched who's watching Traders. It ain't over. 73 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: The season is not over, but Traders season four has 74 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: broken the record thus far. It's only been up for 75 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: two weeks. You know, people watch it and watch it 76 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: and watch it and watch it and watch it. Season three. 77 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: We beat season three. It is the most. I said this, 78 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: I did say it on this podcast that this season 79 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: will be the most watched season of Traders ever, six 80 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight million minutes viewed thus far, and 81 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 1: it just went up six hundred and thirty eight million 82 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: minutes viewed. Traders season four is the biggest season of 83 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Traders ever. I told the producers of this, I said 84 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: it on this podcast, and I want to thank everybody 85 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: who's watching. And obviously the production. It is not easy 86 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: to make an episode of Trade. It is not easy 87 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: to make a season. There's so much work behind the scenes, production, 88 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: the editing, the camera crews. It is a big mum 89 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: and they make it look seamless. The music anyway. And 90 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: that's the kind of protest I like. When it was 91 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: announced that me and Michael Rappaport, the Diplomatic Warrior, was 92 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: going to be on Traders, they said, we are not 93 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: watching Traders, we are protesting Traders. And that's the kind 94 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: of protest I really like. We broke the record. Keep watching. 95 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: The season gets better and better and better. There are 96 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: spoiler alerts for the first five episodes, as you know, 97 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: unless you've been living under rock. I was banished out 98 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: of the castle this last episode and I went out 99 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: in you know, I would say glorious fashion, but it 100 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: really ruffled a lot of feathers, and that was never 101 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: my intention. I'm gonna get to that in a minute. 102 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: I think this is gonna have to be a two 103 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: part episode. I don't think I could answer all these questions. 104 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: I went on social media and I said, I've ever 105 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: done this before. If you have any questions about Traders, 106 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: I will do my best to answer all and every 107 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,239 Speaker 1: single question. So I'm going to answer some of those questions. 108 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: But in regards to the Colton of it all, first 109 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: of all, I like Colton. I told Colton I was 110 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: a fan. I followed his season, every episode of The Bachelor, 111 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,239 Speaker 1: watched it, followed his story afterwards, watched the documentary, watched 112 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: him with I believe it was Diane Sawyer where he 113 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: came out, I cried, I told him this, I'm a 114 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: fan of Colton. We got along well up in until 115 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: that moment during the show. He's probably the only person 116 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: in there who I had a conversation with that was 117 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: sort of deep. You know, he was asking me about 118 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: my kids, he was asking me about my wife, asking 119 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: me about my divorce, and I'm not going to go 120 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: into the details of what I shared about that, but 121 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: we did get along very well. You know, I was 122 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: talking about football, talking about his story, you know, and 123 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: all that. So we got along very good. Obviously, on 124 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: that last episode, things flared up and they went down 125 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: how they went down. But before I get to that. 126 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: I will say again, I got no problem with Coulton, 127 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: and I will tell you this because of the drama 128 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: and the inflammatory nature of what happened in episode five, 129 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: season four of Traders when I got banished, where I 130 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: was going at him, calling him colluding, commiserating. I was 131 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: trying to do different things with see colluding, commiserating. I 132 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: don't even remember when I say something something something Coulton, 133 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: and you know the incident happened. But I will tell 134 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: you this before I get into the details and answer 135 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: everybody's questions. I spoke to Coulton as soon as the 136 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: show ended. I reached out to him. I got his number. 137 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: I actually DMed him. I reached out to him. He 138 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: was very cool in the DMS, very nice, very friendly, 139 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, call me. We facetimed, we talked. 140 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to FaceTime him because I wanted to see 141 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: him and I wanted to see him see me. And 142 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: I told him, I said, I never ever meant to 143 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: offend you, and I know I did, but I apologize 144 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: and he took my apology very very well. He said, 145 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: I hear you, Michael. I'm not going to go into 146 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: the details of it. He said, I hear you, he goes. 147 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: You know, I played the game hard. I played the 148 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: game the way I played it, and you know, we 149 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: all got a little bit emotional. And I hear you, 150 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: and I accept it and I appreciate you. And you know, 151 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: this is two grown men talking, and this is two 152 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: grown men having a conversation and it's it's done with. 153 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: And that meant a lot to me that we had 154 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: that conversation. We had that conversation, I believe in June 155 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: or July whenever. I think it was July. But you know, 156 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to reach out to him because I felt 157 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: bad and I didn't want to feel like I was 158 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: being disrespectful, I was tacking him or anything about his 159 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: sexuality or any of that, because, like I say on 160 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: pretty much every Iron Rap Report stereo podcast, and this 161 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: is the Iron Rapport stereo podcast, when you talk shit 162 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: like me, sometimes you step on toes. When you talk 163 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: shit like me, sometimes a little spit will come out 164 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: of your mouth. And if you step on toes or 165 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: a little spit comes out of your mouth and it 166 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: winds up on someone's shirt or even someone's face, I 167 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: want to apologize. And you know that's a metaphor. But 168 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: I did reach out to him and he received my 169 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: apology very very well, and he actually reached out to 170 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: me after the episode aired and he hit me up 171 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: and just said, you know, I'm checking in on you, 172 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: and I'll just leave it at that. But you know, 173 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: as far as the culton of it all, man, it 174 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: really got wacky and crazy and heightened. I feel like 175 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: the rest of the cast, some of the cast, and 176 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: I'll go into specifics, gas lit me. I feel like 177 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: some of the cast bullied me. I feel like some 178 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: of the cast didn't get me. I feel like some 179 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: of the cast had bad energy towards me, and you know, 180 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: unfortunately that bad energy was turned back on them. And 181 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, I could give it as good as I 182 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: take it. We talk about on this podcast fifteen rounds 183 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: of disruption. The only way to get to the fifteenth round. 184 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: You have to be able to give it. But as 185 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: good as you give it, you have to be able 186 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: to take it. So if you talk shit, you snap, 187 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: you break balls. I'm cool when it gets into a 188 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: personal thing. That's when I'm probably not at my best. 189 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: I'm not at my coolest or my commist when it 190 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: gets personal, and that is my rock to bear, that 191 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: is my improvement to make. But I'm gonna answer all 192 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: these questions in order that they came in, and I'm 193 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: gonna start with the beginning of episode one and try 194 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: to bring you all the way to episode five by 195 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: answering all these questions. 196 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,239 Speaker 3: Podcast. 197 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: The question that I got the most, I got it 198 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: asked all different different kinds of ways. Some were nice, 199 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: some were genuine, some were insulting. That's fine. Is about 200 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: me eating and drinking water. I never if I was 201 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: a betting man and I thought people would be so baffled, offended, 202 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: fascinated with the way I eat, I'd be a kazillion heir. 203 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: I'll go to the drinking of the water part first. 204 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: There is a scene, there's a cutaway in the breakfast 205 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: room of I'm not sure what episode it was, of 206 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: me drinking water with both my hands on the cup. 207 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: And people call me a toddler, people call me a baby, 208 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: people call me a man child. This, that, and the third. 209 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: The reason why I drank water with both hands on 210 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: the cup, if I remember correctly, is earlier during that meal, 211 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: I spilled a little water on my shirt when I 212 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: was drinking it. There was no straws. And the shirt 213 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: is actually wardrobe. It's not just a shirt. You're not 214 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: just wearing a shirt. It's wardrobe for a TV show. 215 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: It is a show. So what everybody's wearing is approved 216 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: by a wardrobe department, a wardrobe head, proved by the network. 217 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: You can't wear things with logos. You can't wear you know, 218 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: things that are advertising things. You can't wear things promoting yourself. 219 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: So my wardrobe during the show, I had spilt the 220 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: little water talking or something earlier in the day, earlier 221 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: in that meal, so and it got on my shirt, 222 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: my wardrobe. I can't call a shirt called a wardrobe. 223 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: So when I continued or the next time I was 224 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: drinking water, I used both hands because I didn't want 225 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: to stain my wardrobe anymore. Obviously, people my god. Again, 226 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: I wish I was a betting man. If that would 227 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: been the thing that most people would be talking about, 228 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: is me drinking with two hands on my cup, I'd 229 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: be a kazillion air. But I did not want to 230 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: get my war drobe filled with any more water spots. 231 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: I think I was drinking water because there's no second take. 232 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: It's reality show and you're in real time you don't 233 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: stop when you're doing those things. If you're in a 234 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: movie or a TV show and you're in wardrobe and 235 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: you're drinking a cranberry juice and your trailer, or you're 236 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: drinking a diet coke on the set in wardrobe, when 237 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: you spill it, there's two, three, four, five replacements, and 238 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: the wardrobe department will come over and go, oh, Michael, 239 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: you spilled something on anything, and they'll tell the director, 240 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: hold on, we need five minutes. We have to change 241 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: his wardrobe. When you're doing a reality show, there's no change. 242 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: There's no second pair of pants, there's no James purse 243 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: Kashmir sweater. So that's why I was drinking my water 244 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: with two hands. As far as the eating listen, I'll 245 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: be the first to tell you I am not the 246 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: most civilized eater in the world. Okay. I know how 247 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: to eat civilized when I want to eat civilized, and 248 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: how to eat civilized when I am with civilized people 249 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: in a civilized situation. That scene of me eating my 250 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: food was, I believe in episode four. It was in 251 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: episode four and five. And I will say this, I 252 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: could take that. That shit's funny to me. It's very real, 253 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: it's very genuine. I at times eat like a gavonne 254 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: an animal, a savage, a gorilla, a goon. I don't 255 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: eat like that all the time. But anybody who knows me, 256 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: anybody who's been around me, they will verify, and I 257 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: will verify myself say yes, I can be an uncivilized eater. 258 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: That being said, that moment, that now iconic moment. I 259 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: feel like every moment that I was on Traders is 260 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: now an iconic reality TV moment, and I wouldn't have 261 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: it any other way. Now, if you've never listened to 262 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: this ion rap or stereo podcast, you might be going, 263 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: oh my god, he's so braggadocious, he's so obnoxious.

They 270 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: don't get the show, they don't get the humor. They 271 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: didn't even understand. Some people thought I was dead serious 272 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: when I said I was the smartest, dopest, best looking 273 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: faithful of the faithfuls. They didn't get the fucking joke. 274 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. There hasn't been 275 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: a great comedy film or a great comedy show in years. 276 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm giving you high end, straight faced, real life reality 277 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: commentary about my comedy.

It's fake, it's not real, but we're 283 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: just so damn good. We're just so damn good that 284 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: people to the last day a video that's four years 285 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: old that I have set over and over and over 286 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: over and over. It's not real. They think it's actually 287 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: real in real time. Anyway, after we did that challenge 288 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: where we were in the water looking for coins, bending 289 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: over all of us, the disgusting red colored water hunched 290 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: over which, by the way, when I was in that 291 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: water looking for those coins, those shields, my only goal 292 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: was due not face plant and fall headfirst into that water. 293 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: That was the only thing that I didn't want to do, 294 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: is to fall into that water headfirst and be swimming 295 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: in three foot water. If it was even three was 296 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: probably two feet two feet of red, disgusting, vile water. 297 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: But after that challenge where we were running around in 298 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: the water looking for the shields, running uphills down, and 299 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you something, those challenges are no joke. They're 300 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: not easy. There's no cutting, there's no stopping. You're not 301 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: wearing your own shoes. That's the one thing I regret. 302 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: And anybody who's ever going to play Traders, and I 303 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: know there's new people listening to this podcast, if you're 304 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: ever doing Traders, bring your own boots, b y b. 305 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: Because nobody brought their own boots. I don't know why 306 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: we're not allowed to bring boots. I don't know why 307 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: they don't suggest the wardrobe department again that we bring 308 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: our own boots. But I was wearing wardrobe boots. That's 309 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: the only piece of wardrobe that they gave me. I 310 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: don't know if anybody else got wardrobe, but that's the 311 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: only and this jacket, this one other jacket, but boots 312 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: shoes for running in the water and all that stuff. 313 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: You need to have something that you feel comfortable with anyway. 314 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: So you're running in these boots, your feet are soaking 315 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: wet uphills, downhills, bending over, picking things up, talking, cheering, yelling, clamping, 316 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: bending up, down, over over over up the hills. You 317 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: don't want to fall. We did all that as a group. 318 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: We finished the mission as a group. And I will 319 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: say I had been there for a bunch of days. 320 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: I don't want to say how many days exactly, because 321 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't think you're allowed to reveal that. But we've 322 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: been there for a bunch of days. And after that mission, 323 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: that challenge, my back was killing me, and I had 324 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: been through the storm.

In my confessionals, I was myself confessionals, 359 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: when you're talking directly to the camera the interview, I 360 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: was as genuine, I was humble, I was sweet. I cried. 361 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: I actually cried. I cried in one of my confessionals 362 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: at the end because while we were filming Traders, and 363 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: I'm going off the subject of the now famous iconic 364 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: eating moment. While we were filming Traders, the day that 365 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: had started, Israel went to war with Iran. Iran was 366 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: bombing Israel, and I literally it's probably the first time 367 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: in my life that I had a legitimate panic attack. 368 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: And they have all these production assistants and production quarternators 369 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: and mental health consultants that you could talk to. They're 370 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: at your your beck and call if you're having a problem. 371 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: And we were about to start shooting, I believe it 372 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: was the first day, and I said, I need to 373 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: talk to somebody, and I talked to the woman, and 374 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, she got things into perspective. And remember there's 375 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: no phones. I have no access to call my wife 376 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: except for when they give you access to call whoever 377 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: you want to call. And I'm watching little clips on 378 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: TV and I was scared. Shit. I literally thought, Israel 379 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: where I'm recording this podcast from right now, Tel Aviv, 380 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: where I'm recording this podcast right now, Jerusalem, the entire 381 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: state of Israel was going to be demolished. I literally 382 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: felt like that afternoon of nine to eleven. I remember 383 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: when my father, he was still working at the time. 384 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: I was trying to call him. I was trying to 385 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: call him, trying to call him at work, and then 386 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: he finally got home. There was traffic, he had to eat, 387 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: he was on his motorcycle. My father drives a motorcycle. 388 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: He was on his motorcycle. He finally got home and 389 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: I was in a panic. I was like, Dad, you 390 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: know where what happened? Where are you? And He's like, 391 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: calm down, you know they sent us home from work, 392 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, he was like, it's okay. 393 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: But at that point, I was like, what's gonna happen. 394 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Why are they sending you home from work? 395 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: I thought New York City was gonna be under attack, 396 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: Like there was gonna be more bombs, more buildings knocked down. 397 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: That's what I thought was gonna happen. From the rotten 398 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: Iranian terrorist regime. That's what I thought was gonna happen, 399 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: because Iran is not Gaza. Iran ain't the hoo thies, 400 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: Iran ain't Hesbelah. They were coming with the big guns. Nonetheless, 401 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: by the time we got to that challenge in the water, 402 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: up the ravines, carrying the things, going up and down 403 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: the hills, we got back to the castle I had 404 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: been through, and I was like, I'm good. I let 405 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: my guard down. I literally let my guard down, which 406 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done as a game player. I shouldn't 407 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: have let my guard down when my back was hurting. 408 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: I was hungry. I got my food and I went 409 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: in that room. Nobody was there. I was glad nobody 410 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: was there. I was like, all I want to do 411 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: is take a break and eat my food. And I'm eating, 412 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: and I'm eating and I'm eating, and I remember, and 413 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: this is a fact, this is a BTS Michael Rapport 414 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: BTS behind the scenes exclusive. While I was in that 415 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: room I believe it was they called the Library of 416 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: the Castle, by myself eating, taking a moment to chill, 417 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: not talk, not beyond blast, not be defensive, because I'm 418 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: being accused of being a trader and not being you know, 419 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: sniffing around if anybody else is a trader or a 420 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: faithful or whatever the fuck is going on. I was 421 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: in that room, stuffing my face, and I looked over 422 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: and there were three cameramen along with all the other 423 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: cameras in that room. There's probably, i would guess, eight 424 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: to ten remote cameras along with three camera men with big, 425 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: beautiful giant cameras on steady cam apparatus. And I looked over. 426 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: They were to my right where you see that now 427 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: iconic photo of me eating. And I said to them, 428 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: I said, I bet you guys never thought when you 429 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: went to film school to study cinematography, filmmaking and directing, 430 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: you'd be sitting here filming Michael Rappaport stuffing his fucking 431 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: face for twenty minutes straight. And they all laughed, they 432 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: all fucking laughed. That's the only time I made contact 433 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: or broke the fourth wall with the camera people. I 434 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: know they're not supposed to talk to but they all 435 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: fucking laughed because they understood the irony of it. I 436 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: understood the irony of it. I thought it was funny. 437 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: They thought it was funny. And I continued stuffing my 438 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: fucking face in front of them for the camera because 439 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: I was like, this is insane, this is fun this 440 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: is crazy. I can't believe I'm in a fucking reality show. 441 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: My back fucking hurts. But but I found the map, 442 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: I did the challenge. I want to take a break, 443 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: but for some reason, people are fascinated with the way 444 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: I eat.

Want me 445 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: to eat pizza, sell your pizza, sell your pasta, sell 446 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I can do that. 447 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 1: I could do that. So I'm not offended that that 448 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: was up there the first time, but the fact that 449 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: they had it up there the second time, I was like, 450 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: come on, man, why are you putting this up there again? 451 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: You showed it in episode three, and now you're showing 452 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: it again in episode four from a different angle, a 453 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: closer angle.

So that's the best I could 491 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: do to answer and explain every single thing about me. 492 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: Drinking my water with two hands and eating my food 493 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: in the library room for twenty minutes in front of 494 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: three cameramen and multi remote cameras. I'm trying to be 495 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: as honest and genuine as I possibly can and give 496 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: you as much information. There are still restrictions on things 497 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: that I can say and we'll say and should say. 498 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: But like I said, this is the Iron Rapport stereo podcast. 499 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: If you've never listened, make sure you subscribe, rate and 500 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: review right now, and make sure you follow me at 501 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: Michael Rapport, follow the podcast at I Am a Rapport. 502 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: My next question is about Yam Yam Jam Jam, who 503 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: I had more iconic moments with. I will say this, 504 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: a couple of things got cut out, and everybody's gonna 505 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: have things that they thought might make it. They're gonna 506 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: have things get cut out that you know, that they 507 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: wanted in, or things that stay in that they thought 508 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: should be cut out. I get it. That's the name 509 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: of the game, especially in a show like this where 510 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: you're servicing twenty three at the beginning, I believe there 511 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: was twenty three people cast members to begin with, and 512 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: then it's twenty two and twenty one. It's a lot 513 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: of people to service storylines. You got to make sure 514 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: you're you're telling a story and you're moving things along 515 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: and you're keeping it as entertaining as you possibly can 516 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: in hour long episodes. It ain't It's not easy. They 517 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: make it look easy, and I am fascinated how they 518 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: do that, how they pick choose the details to tell 519 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 1: all the stories. But they do it fantastic, and that's 520 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: why I'm a fan of the show. But I had 521 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: a little thing with jam Jam, and I will say this, 522 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: what you saw on TV was what you saw on TV. 523 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: There wasn't really more. There wasn't anything that was there 524 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: that was anymore. It got a little bit more heated 525 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: than what we saw, but both of us did. And 526 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: Jam Jam he's no punk. He wasn't intimidated by me. 527 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: He wasn't freaked out by me. He didn't appear intimidated 528 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: or freaked out by me. He stood up to me. 529 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: He was talking shit. I was talking shit. He said, 530 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: if you're going to take it to level ninety nine, 531 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: I'll be at level ninety nine. If you're going to 532 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: take it to level ten, I'll take And I was 533 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: like cool. And you know, we talked about it. I 534 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: know that some of the cast was a little overwhelmed 535 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: by that exchange, and I felt bad about it. I 536 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: will tell you this. The night before, after the first roundtable, 537 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: when me and jam Jam first got into it at 538 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: the roundtable, this was cut out. I said to him 539 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: in the kitchen, I said, yo, this is before the 540 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: stuff that was on TV. But I said to him, 541 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: I said, yo, I want to figure out a way 542 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: for us to get along. And he said he took 543 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: a step back away from me, and he said, and 544 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to quote him because I'm not trying to 545 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: add fuel to the fire because I got no problem 546 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: with him. It's not personal. It's a game. And I'll 547 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: get to why. I really don't have any problem with him. 548 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: But he said to me, let me think about it. 549 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: And I was like, let me think about it. I'm 550 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: trying to squash this now. I'm trying to move forward 551 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: as two grown ups now, as two professional participants in 552 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: a game and a TV show. Now, he said, let 553 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: me think about it. I took offense to that, and 554 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: I felt like we could squash this and move forward 555 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: right now in the moment. We didn't. The next morning, 556 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: when I came back into the breakfast room to have breakfast. 557 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: You saw what was on there, and I will say 558 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: it was a little bit more heated than what they showed. 559 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: But you know, they don't need to show the whole 560 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: thing because it's probably boring. They showed the highlights of it. 561 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: But the one thing that was cut out and I 562 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: felt like it should have been kept in is right 563 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: after that scene, I went outside in front of five 564 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: or six other cast members while we were shooting, and 565 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: I said, Yo, I want to apologize to you. I 566 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: apologize if I offended you. I apologize we got off 567 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 1: on the wrong foot. And I apologize to the rest 568 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: of you guys for, you know, turning up the volume here. 569 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: I know nobody wants it. I didn't want it. And 570 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: he accepted my apology. We hugged. I believe. I believe 571 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: Jam Jam had on a beautiful, beautiful jacket, a custom 572 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: made jacket. The guy was impeccably dressed the entire time 573 00:34:55,640 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: to the nines. He looked fantastic the entire I believe. 574 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: He told me his husband makes his wardrobe. Guy looked 575 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: like a million bucks, as he should. I think he 576 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: won a million bucks on Survivor. But we hugged it out, 577 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: but he had a blazer on with no shirt and 578 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: we made a joke about his chest. His chest chair 579 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,760 Speaker 1: was magnificent, and we hugged it out and everybody clapped 580 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: and we moved forward. But that was not in the episode. 581 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: It wasn't in the show, and they should have used it, 582 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: because if you're gonna show the beef show, the resolve, 583 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: if you're gonna show the arguing show, the resolve, and 584 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: I did when I go out there, and he received 585 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: it and we had a good moment. I know, there's 586 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: a funny moment of me and him walking behind the castle, 587 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,760 Speaker 1: and I know it had to be a great visual 588 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,319 Speaker 1: moment because he's a shorter man than I am. He's 589 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: dressed impeccably. I'm dressed in a Kashmir sweater. It's kind 590 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 1: of like freakin' frack or you know, or like Danny 591 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: DeVito and you know, Arnold Schwartz a visually crazy, funny 592 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: looking thing. And we said later on, yo, let's figure 593 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: out a way to work together, and he said, you're 594 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: not a transd I'm telling you I am not a trader. 595 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: I'm the most faithful of the faithless. Obviously, we didn't 596 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: get to work together, but that scene was cut out. 597 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: We I apologized, it was received. I apologize to the 598 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 1: rest of the cast. It was received and we moved on. 599 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: We hugged it out and it was cut out. And 600 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: I resent that it was cut out because I don't 601 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: mind being the bad guy, but I'm not just the 602 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 1: bad guy. I don't mind being a pain in the ans. 603 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: I don't mind, you know, driving people up the fucking wall, 604 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: but I don't just and I did. Didn't just do 605 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: that on camera. That's a fact. That's the truth. That's 606 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: my whole truth, and nothing but the truth. As far 607 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: as what Jamjam thinks to me, now, I have no idea. 608 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: I have no hard feelings to him. I actually reached 609 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: out to him in the DMS since the show started, 610 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: since those first three episodes, and I told him, I said, Yo, 611 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 1: it was what it was. I hope you didn't take 612 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: it wrong way, poly you know whatever, and he said something. 613 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna share. What he said was very nice. 614 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: Wished him a happy New Year, and his family talked 615 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: a lot. I did talk to him about a lot 616 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: about his husband and his family in Puerto Rico and 617 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff. But I have no ill will towards 618 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: him and I wish him nothing but the best. And 619 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: like I said, you know, we had our little thing. 620 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: We apologized and we moved on. And I feel like 621 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: they they cheated me, they cheated him, and they cheated 622 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: the viewers and not putting that in it. Like I said, 623 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: I know you can't put everything in there, but I 624 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: feel like if you're going to show the beef, you 625 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: could also and you should also show the resolve. Oh okay, 626 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: this next question is about Porsche. Porsche Williams, the Great 627 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,799 Speaker 1: Porsche Williams, who I fawn about with my wife. I 628 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: am a ginormous Porsche Williams fan. I con icon from 629 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: the Real Housewives of Atlanta. And it's crazy because I've 630 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: never met Porsche until I met her in the castle 631 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: in Scotland doing Traders. I've met them all. I've done 632 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: watch What Happens Live with them all. I've met them 633 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: in the streets, I've met them at Brabo kon all 634 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: of them. The Great Nani leaks all of them. It 635 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: goes without saying that I am a ginormous Real Housewives fan. 636 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: Real husbands watch Real Housewives, Real husbands, watch the Real Housewives, 637 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: real men, whatever that means to you, however that means 638 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: to you real men again, whatever kind definition you declare 639 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: a real man watch Real houses.

So to meet Porsha Williams, the 642 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: Great Porsche Williams, and have to vote her ass out, 643 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 1: it hurt me. And I think that was articulated at 644 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: her roundtable while me and the rest of the traders 645 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: voted her ass out. Now again something else that was 646 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: kind out. I said later on that I regretted voting 647 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: out the Great Porsche Williams. Candice and I talked about it. 648 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: Derinda and I talked about it. Me and Lisa Renna 649 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: talked about it. We talked about how that was terrible, 650 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 1: How was bad? I said, how bad I felt voting 651 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: out Porsche, Porsche, Porsche. It hurt me, probably just as 652 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: much as it hurt her, if not more. Hah, it 653 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: hurt to put vote out Porsche. But some of the 654 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: things were kind of as to why I decided to 655 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: vote with Porsche. Bopapapapap, but I voted out Porsche. But 656 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 1: that is the nature of the game. I actually thought 657 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: that she was a trader. I did my best to 658 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,240 Speaker 1: vote out. I regretted it. I regretted that I was wrong. 659 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 1: I regretted that I voted out one of my favorite 660 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: housewives of all time. Now I had the opportunity, and 661 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: I think I said it on this podcast or on 662 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: Rappaport's Reality when we were in the castle during downtime, 663 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: I got to sit there and ask the Great Portia 664 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: Williams every single question about her beef with Chamia, her relationships, 665 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: her daughter, little beautiful PJ, this housewife, that house She 666 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: answered me because it was I said to her, I said, 667 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: I wish I was recording this for the Iron Rappaport 668 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: Stereo podcast. I had the opportunity to sit there face 669 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: to face. It was like the Great Porta Williams and 670 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: Barbara Walters. It was my Barbara Walters Andy Cohen moment. 671 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: And there was no microphones, no camera. So she was 672 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 1: giving me the dirt behind the dirt, behind the dirt, 673 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: and I was bugging. I was bugging that I was 674 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: in front of her. We got along nice. I literally 675 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: treated her like she was a queen, like the true 676 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 1: Queen that she is asking her everything, and she was 677 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: giving me every single things. I could repeat things I 678 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: can't repeat. Dirt, dirt, dirt, but friendly dirt, Shaye dirt. 679 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,399 Speaker 1: And she said, I heard you've said so many nice 680 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,239 Speaker 1: things about me. I've heard it. La la la la 681 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: la da la la la. I am going to give 682 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: you some bts, some super deep dive bts, behind the 683 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 1: scenes stuff right now that is going to blow people's minds. 684 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: So after the Great Porsche Williams got voted out and 685 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,400 Speaker 1: I was one of the people that voted out Porsche Williams. 686 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 1: The next day was a day off. You know, it's 687 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: just a show, so you do get days off. There's 688 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: rules and regulations. So during my day off, I was 689 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: granted my walk. They take you. They give you like 690 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: an hour hour and a half to go outside with 691 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 1: one of the production assistants and walk. They can either 692 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 1: talk to you not talk to you. They say do 693 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 1: you want to talk to you? And I want to 694 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 1: talk and I would, you know, listen to my music 695 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,719 Speaker 1: and run and you know, just get some fresh air. 696 00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,879 Speaker 1: So while I was coming back from a power walk 697 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: and I was you know, getting my Rocky Balboa go 698 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,879 Speaker 1: there was these steps by this train stop nearby. I'm 699 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,800 Speaker 1: going up and down the steps. I'm running, I'm jogging, 700 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing push ups and doing burpies, doing my squats. 701 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: I'm doing it all. I'm hyped up and feel God. 702 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 1: I got the son on my face. I'm listening to 703 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: some music. I believe I was listening to a rock mix. 704 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: Believe I was listening to Don't Stop Believing by Journey 705 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: on a Loop. But while I was coming back into 706 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 1: the hotel, and it's very it's very manicured and constructed. 707 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people they don't like to They 708 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: don't let you see or engage with the other players 709 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:46,879 Speaker 1: because they don't want any collusion or commiserating. They don't 710 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: want any collusion or commiserating. But this is good, high 711 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: end shit. I'm going to share with you right now. 712 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,880 Speaker 1: When I was going back into the hotel, they brought 713 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: me up the stairs, two stairs, two flights of stairs, short, 714 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: sure flights of stairs. Small hotel in Scotland, the middle 715 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: of nowhere, next to an airport, a small airport. When 716 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: they brought me back into the hotel, I was going 717 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: up the stairs. I got up the stairs. I'm walking 718 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,160 Speaker 1: down the hallway, and they're always like, wait, hold on, 719 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,280 Speaker 1: they have to check to make sure there's other cast members. 720 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: You don't bump into them because they're taking other cast 721 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: members out for a walk. Now the cast members might 722 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: go to the gym there. You know, they're they're taking 723 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: care of us. But as I was walking down the 724 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: hallway and it was there was a window on both sides, 725 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: it was very very very bright. I see a tall 726 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: figure coming to me. I can't even make out who 727 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: it is because I just came in from the bright 728 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 1: bright sun and there's bright, bright light in there. And 729 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 1: I hear, I hear Michael Michael. I know the voice. 730 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: I've listened to the voice four years. I know the voice. 731 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: I listened to the voice for years. It's the great 732 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:07,240 Speaker 1: Porsche Williams. And then I see Porscha Williams. She's about 733 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: thirty feet from me. She's wearing a purple something something. 734 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: I believe it was purple, Yes, it was purple something something. 735 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: She has a ginormous suitcase or two. She goes Michael Michael, 736 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 1: fuck you. She gives me the middle finger. She goes 737 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 1: Michael Michael and she says fuck you. I think she 738 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: might have said Michael, Michael, and then she gave me 739 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,480 Speaker 1: the middle fingers said fuck you Michael. She might have 740 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: said it three times, Michael Michael, fuck you Michael. And 741 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: I was like, oh shit. And production turned me around. 742 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 1: They put me into the staircase and they said sorry 743 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 1: about that. I said, it's okay, it's fine. I feel bad. 744 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: And you know what, She's pissed, and she should be pissed. 745 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 1: She came out here and she left her daughter, she 746 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: got voted off. It sucks. It sucks. I get it. 747 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,960 Speaker 1: And they were like, are you okay? And I was like, 748 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm good, I'm fine. But that is a 749 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: real true life story of me running into the great 750 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: Porsche Williams while she was being sent back to Hot Lanta. 751 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: That's right from the horse's mouth, me being the horse, 752 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: she being the housewife of Atlanta. And I will tell 753 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: you something. Everything I'm telling you is the truth, the 754 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And I saw 755 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:38,240 Speaker 1: her do interviews after she was kicked out of the castle, 756 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 1: and she said terrible, nasty things about me. She actually 757 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,960 Speaker 1: said that he me, Michael Rapport, is a horrible person. 758 00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,320 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something that hurt my feelings 759 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 1: because my exchange, my moments, my conversations, my fandom with Porsche, 760 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,280 Speaker 1: what she's seen, what I've said on Watch What Happens 761 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 1: Live on social media have never been nothing but adoration, 762 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: respect and rooting for her when I met her in 763 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 1: real life. Like I just said, adoration, respect, laughing funny. 764 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: Couldn't have treated her with more respect? Yes, I voted 765 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,480 Speaker 1: her out. She could say he's a backstabber. He stabbed 766 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 1: me in the back. He said he was such a 767 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: big fan. But to sit there and say that I'm 768 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: a horrible person. That shit hurt my feelings. It's unacceptable. 769 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,719 Speaker 1: It's rude, and it's not the fucking truth. It's not 770 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: the fucking truth. But you know, so be it. You know, 771 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: I know how she is, and I'm not saying that 772 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: at any dig I know she is. I'm still a fan, 773 00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: But that to me was od over the top. It's 774 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: based on what nothing based on her personal experience with me, 775 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: nothing based on anything and everything I've ever said on 776 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: TV Watch What Happens Live. When I was doing the 777 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:05,760 Speaker 1: Wendy Williams Show, every tweet, every podcast about Poorsha Williams 778 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 1: has always been nothing but the highest highest praise, and 779 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: even when she's done things on the show that people 780 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,879 Speaker 1: didn't ever ever like. I've always rooted her through her 781 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 1: first relationship, her first marriage to Cordell Stewart, to the 782 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: underground Railroad comment, to all the flub ups, to her 783 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: relationship with the hot Dog King, to the relationship with 784 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: her baby daddy. I always, always, always have rooted for 785 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 1: her publicly and privately. So for her to say that, 786 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,000 Speaker 1: I thought it was rude, disrespectful, and it's not factually 787 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 1: based on anything. So I didn't like that, but it 788 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: is what it is. One of the funniest things that 789 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 1: somebody said to me in the DMS this week is 790 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: it's crazy that people are saying you're homophobic. You're the 791 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: biggest Housewife fan ever, that's the gayest shit in the world. 792 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: I thought that was funny. I thought that was very, very, 793 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: very very funny. And then another thing Porsche Williams said 794 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 1: that was just not true is that the editors did 795 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 1: Michael a favor. They edited out so much. 796 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 2: Release the footage, hash tag release the footage, release the footage, 797 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 2: put out the full full cut. 798 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,399 Speaker 1: Release the footage. I did nothing to Porsche. I said 799 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: nothing bad, nothing regrettable, not even something to think twice 800 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: about in regards to Porsche. So her saying that the 801 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:36,720 Speaker 1: editors did me a favor. Release the footage. Hash tag 802 00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 1: release the footage. I damn near cried after I voted 803 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 1: her out. You kind of got that vibe that it 804 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: was hard for me to vote her out. But if 805 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 1: they released the footage, I damn near cried when I 806 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: voted her out. So the last question I can answer. 807 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,319 Speaker 1: This is a fifty minute podcast and I haven't even 808 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: gotten into it. This is like just general. The last 809 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 1: question was yo rap. TMZ reported that you pissed off 810 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 1: other Traders cast members, which was par for the course. 811 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 1: While shooting. My response to T you know what, I 812 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: used to talk shit about Harvey Levin. Then I stopped 813 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: talking shit about Harvey len Fuck that alligator arm little bitch. 814 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: You know he's exactly, He's just just a fucking alligator 815 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 1: armed little fucking bitch.
