Start this puppy over something real nice, Start this puppy over some real but most importantly, start this puppy off with something real funky. This Oh yeah, this is the Iron Rap Reports Stereo podcasts.
Lygdy Let's go, Baby Boom.
Have no fear of the Iron Rapp Reports Stereo podcast. That's here, Biggindy Boom, have no fear of the I Am Rapaport Stereo podcast. Is in the place to be. Oh yes, oh yes, Welcome to the Iron Dome of Disruption. Welcome to the Ziggity Zone of Disruption. My name is Michael Rapaport, a k A. The Gringo man Dingo aka the Inflamed Ashknazi aka the Sultan of Sniff aka the Raging Bullshitter. And you are now rocking with the very very best the world's most disruptive podcast, the I Am Rappaport Stereo Podcast. Hope everybody's feeling real good. Hope everybody's feeling real safe. Hope everybody is feeling really sane as we head into the last few days of February. If you could believe that shit, twenty eight days of February, and we are coming down to the wire, if you could believe that shit, Pisce season, It's Pisce season. I myself, I'm also at Pisce's I myself. I'm gonna be celebrating my fifty fifth fucking birthday. If you could believe that shit, my fifty fifth birthday March twentieth, which is shit. If you can't believe that shit, trust me, how do you think I feel fifty fucking five years old? What the fuck is happening? But we are heading into almost the spring. It's been a definitely a more challenging winter than last year, a little bit on the brisk side. Last few days have been better. I want to give a shout out to the kids that I met at Ohio State University. I went out to Ohio State University to the hubbad in Ohio State University. They were being protested and this, that, and the third. I saw that on Twitter. I made a tweet about I want to come out there because I don't like bullies. I like to quote the great Zach Randolph. Where I come from, we bully the bullies. So I had a great evening out there, dinner and just chilled. Met a lot of great young, cool people. Some older people older meaning my age since I'm gonna be fifty five. What the fuck anyway, I hope everybody's feeling good. Hope everybody's feeling safe. If you are in the Tri state area. I am performing this week in Stanford, Connecticut, which is just out of the city, the twenty eighth Friday, February twenty eighth, March first, March second, the twenty eighth, the first and the second. The following week, I'll be in Edmonton, Edmonton, Canada. All tickets, all informations available at Michael Rappaportcomedy dot Com. I'll be in Edmonton the sixth, seventh, and eighth, anyway, so much to discuss NBA love. I love listen, I love football, I love fantasy football. But I love when the NBA is the first thing and the primary thing that they discuss on all the sports channels. And I hate to break the bad news to my fellow New York nick fans. This is not our year. This is not going to be our year. And I'm not saying that because we lost to Cleveland and Boston. And I do feel if Mitchell Robinson can come back, if because initially he was supposed to come back in January and then it's February, and like I said, we're heading into March. I do feel like if Mitchell Robinson could come back and stay healthy obviously and find his rhythm with the big Bodega Cat Karl Anthony Towns. He brings a lot of size and length no Bruno to the team, and you get the two bigs no Bruno on the team, and it could do a lot. But we don't know if Mitchell Robinson can come back. We don't know if Mitchell Robinson can come back and stay healthy. But I don't like to mislead myself or fellow Knicks fans. Of course, I won a Emmy from my thirty for thirty when the Garden was eating. I am a longtime New York Nick fan. It is in my blood. It is in my blood my DNA, probably more so than any other well, and the Giants and the Giants. When I say in my blood, in my DNA, my father was a Knicks fan, is an X fan. My father's ninety one. Fucking guy's ninety one, and he can't stop, won't stop. And obviously he was a Knicks fan, is a Nick fan, sorry again, and a Giants fan. So that's what I mean when it's in my DNA. You know, like we're not like a big baseball family. Because now my father somehow, some ways talking about he's a Mets fan, which that never was discussed when I was being brought up. But baseball wasn't discussed, Basketball football discussed. I am a New York Knick fan, and I just want to I just want to prepare everybody that if you're feeling or you're misled and hoping that this is the season to win the championship. It's not gonna happen again. That doesn't mean we're not gonna compete. That doesn't mean if Mitchell Robinson comes back, we won't get better. I don't understand how the Knicks somehow, someway they lose a couple of games and all of a sudden fire Thibbs, it's his fault, it's not his fault, we missshots, YadA, YadA, YadA. But how the NBA can be won? I mean, there has never been more top to bottom talent across the league. There's never been a year where the title is more up for grabs. The Oklahoma City Thunder, they have a healthy nine and a half game lead as the number one seed in the West. Quietly, the Cleveland Cavaliers not only have the number one seed in the East, but they also have an identical record to the Thunder. A Thunder Calves NBA series. Now, that might not be great for ratings outside of NBA fans, but it would be a great basketball epic seven game series. Obviously, we are a long way from there. But the Calves they want to shoot you out of the gym from deep, no Bruno, and they want to bully you inside no ditty on both sides of the floor, and the thunder want to demoralize you on both sides of the floor and embarrass you with a lop sided scoreboard. Now, like I said, we have a long way to go before we get there. With all the big threes, the Superstar movement, two small market teams built themselves up into favorites to face off in the NBA Finals. Right now, I am predicting based on everything I know, based on the calculations that me and the Dust Brothers. We run the numbers. We run the numbers and we watch the games. The Dust Brothers are not fucking around. We have a serious, serious community of champions and captains. Okay, we're not playing game. And if you want to be a part of a community of captains, champions and winners, go to captain picks dot com. Captain picks dot com. If you want to join in on the fund it's exciting, it's exciting to put a little money where your mouth is. Educated smart choices, go to captain picks dot com.
Podcast the Calves.
They're also not being talked about enough. With the most unherlded, understated, high flying superstar in the league the Spider Mitchell, Donovan the Spider Mitchell, and he made a commitment to Cleveland after they gave up a king's ransom to get him. Remember, the Cavaliers got the Spider Man Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz got Colin Sexton, Lourie Markinin that kid o Chai Agabaggi, a twenty twenty five first round pick, a twenty twenty six pick swap, a twenty twenty seven first round pick, a twenty twenty eight pick swap, and a twenty twenty nine first round pick. All four spider Man, Spiggetty, spider Man, and he really does whatever a fucking spider can, and he has made the most of it. And all Stars Darius Garland and my most improved player of twenty twenty five who's finally living up to all the expectations consistently, Evan Mobley. The Cavaliers are a fucking good team. The other trades that help them shape their winning ways is Jared Allen Jarrett the Afro. Allen ended up on Cleveland as a throw in during the James Harden trade to Brooklyn, which seems like twenty years ago. And Caris LeVert was also in that deal, and he has flipped this season for DeAndre Hunter, who is going to end up winning them a game or two in the playoffs. Mark my words, DeAndre Hunter is going to win them a game or two in the playoffs. Guys like DeAndre Hunter that you're not thinking about, not talking about, those are the guys that wind up winning you a Game three versus Indiana, a Game two versus Orlando, or whoever they match up with. The last player on the cams I want to touch on is ty Jerome ty Yo. This is a guy who's quietly becoming one of the most valuable backup guards in the NBA. Tie Jerome. The Cavs signed him last year away from who who do they sign him away from? That's right, the Oklahoma City Thunder. And we learned about Jerome when he won a title in college at the University of Virginia. And who was his teammate and a lottery pick boom, DeAndre Hunter. Them Virginia Boys. They call him them Virginia Boys. They haven't been hitting as many shots in Virginia since the clips came out in ninety seven. I don't know if the clips actually came out in ninety seven. It just felt good. Shout out to the Clips, Shout out to push a t But they are shooting, they're playing well alongside Samuel. The cap are going to be a hard stop this season. They are going to be a tough out. And then there is the Thunder, another team which is YO. That fucking Shay Gildris is disgusting. That motherfucker is just a pure score. He's disgusting. But the Thunder they made a crazy, big, blockbuster trade when they sent Paul George to the Clippers. Remember, Shake Gildris was a Clipper. He was a fucking Clipper and I don't think the Clippers should have ever gotten rid of him. He's going to have a better career than Paul George. And Paul George is a badass motherfucker. But they got Shay Danilo Gallinari Miami Heats twenty twenty one unprotected first round pick. They picked tray Man at number eighteen. The Clippers twenty two unprotected first round all star Jalen Williams taking a number twelve right to twenty twenty three, their first round swap with the Clippers, which hasn't been put out there yet. The Clippers twenty twenty four unprotected first round of the heats, twenty twenty five protected first rounder one through fourteen, unprotected for twenty twenty six right to twenty twenty five, the first round swap with the Clippers, And like I said, Paul George is awesome, but I think at the end of it, Shay Gilders, Alexander's going to wind up having a better career. And that's saying a lot because Paul George up Yo. Right now, he's not looking like the Paul George of old. Paul Drew is a bad motherfucker. Paul George in Indiana Paul George. And oksee, Paul George is a bad motherfucker just not looking so good right now. But you know they gave away the kitchen sink for Paul George. It's paying off. Also for Oklahoma City Thunder. Both of these teams they wheeled and they dealed. And the Cavaliers and the Thunder are two teams who altered, chained, swapped their championship windows with trades and shrewd signings. And right now, like I said, I am predicting those teams to make it into the finals. And aside from SGA, who is probably gonna win MVP Jaalen Williams, Lou dort Chet Holmgren, and the signing of somebody who the Knicks are very very much missing these days, Isaiah Hartenstein. I knew that was gonna be a problem. I knew that was gonna be a problem. That fucking guy man, Isaiah Hartenstein. Yes, I know you can't keep everybody, but I knew that was gonna be an issue because he would get rebounds and do things, those intangibles, but grab those offensive and defensive rebounds when you needed him most. He did it all season long last year. And like I said, you know, Mitchell Robinson, if he could come back, we'll see, But I just don't trust those big lanky feet, those big lanky feet and those big lanky fucking limbs. I like him when he's out there, but I just can't depend on it. And the other trade that is looking like it's paying off is Alex Caruso, the champion with the Lakers. I used to call him the Pizza Man, Pizza Boy. Alex Caruso, get my fucking Dominoes and you forgot my diet cokes, go back in your fucking uber eats and bring back my diet Cokes. That's what I used to call Caruso the pizza boy. But he's tough, and his toughness and his energy is contagious, and uh, he's the guy that will win you a game too. The thunder Half shooters off the bench with Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and the NBA. I don't think you can market Cleveland and Oksey better, but they have a combined record of ninety three and twenty. I don't know how much more you can market. I don't think people give a shit, no disrespect to Okac or Cleveland, and I say that with love and respect, but how much marketing could you do unless he got Lebron there? Spider Mitchell is fun, but he's not Lebron James. It's just no one gives a shit. But the NBA is fantastic. Luca and Lebron are starting to mesh after beating the shit out of the Denver Nuggets, who had just won nine in a row. And the league is in a constant state of flux. It's going to be everywhere anywhere over the next few years. It's moving to Amazon, NBC, Peacock. I think Netflix is getting in on it. The NBA needs the Gringo man Dingo and the im Rappaport Stereo Podcast. Listen to this episode, share it. I can guarantee you that no one knows more watches more NBA than we do at the im Rapaport Stereo Podcast, the Think Tank of Me, Miles Jordan, the Dust Brothers, the Bleaf Brothers, respectfully. We watched the games, we bet the games. We put our money where our mind and mouth is every damn night and go to captain picks dot com if you want to join in on the fun. Oh yeah, oh yeah, because it's a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun. It is exciting to think that an NBA championship could be coming to a new city this summer. I know that Boston ain't going anywhere, and it's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. But we are gonna be sprinting into the playoffs every single night with so much fun in the NBA. What else is going on? MSNBC? MSNBC fired the Joyless One Joyless. Joy Reid is out at ms NBC, and I gotta tell you, I'm not happy to see anybody lose their job and I'm not laughing at the fact that she lost her job, especially in the entertainment business, but she had an incredible opportunity to do something relevant and important and she pissed it all away with her self serving bullshit, completely partial quarter truth agenda, and it caught up to you, and they fucking sent you packing, Joyless joy Read, And I say, good And you know what they did on the weekend during Black History Month. That means they were like, we don't give a fuck. We need to pull the plug on this, and we need to pull the plug on this. We don't care that it's Black History Month, we don't care what the Shade Room, Charlemagne, the God and the rest of them are going to say. We're shutting this shit it down. Why they chose to announce it over the weekend, I have no fucking idea, but Joyless joy Read, you did this to yourself. You got nobody to blame but yourself, your race hustling, bullshit artist. And I know, uh, you know, it's it's not a news show, it's your point of view show. But your point of view just wasn't wide enough. Your point of view just didn't speak to enough people that chose to watch all that Instagram TikTok shit you was doing nah when you're on MSNBC, nobody was watching because you weren't talking to anybody. It wasn't speaking to enough people, and you did it to yourself. Joyless joy read. They also shut down a few other people and MSM, they're shutting it down. Your motherfuckers cost too much money, and you're not You're not bringing in the looks. You're not bringing in the looks. You're not bringing in the views and joyless joy reads. She went on her podcast as she was crying, you wasn't talking all that shit on your show, were you. You wasn't crying on your show, were you? You were finger pointing Race baiten and Race hustling. And I say good I say fucking good bye bye. Sick of these fake news, partial news, half news. You can't even call them one sided points of view. They're beyond one sided points of view. They also fired from NBC my guy, Lester Halt. I fucked with Lester Holt. That was a nice show, Lester Holt. My wife said, he stepped down. That's a nice way of saying, excuse me, excuse me. He stepped down. Yeah, that's where were going. Let Lester, we'd like you to do that. We want you to be part of the family, but we got to bring somebody else in. Okay, they gave him the respect. I didn't know that. They're gonna keep them for Dateline. They're not fucking It's hard to replace the Lester Hold all across the board. But again, and I like Lester Hold, but they shut him down. Also, they're draining the fucking fake news swamp. That's what's happening. They're draining the fucking fake news swamp. Don't be mad at me. Watch the show. If you like joy Read so much, don't be mad at me. Watch the fucking show. I had nothing to do with it, but I do think it's hilarious. My wife's her shaking her head, which I want to make sure to remind you guys that rap Reports Reality, our podcast where we break down all things reality TV, popular culture, and some curated gems. Curated gems from the comings and goings, goings and comings of our relationship drops every single week. Rapaports Reality. It's fun and trust me, I know I say reality, pop culture. It's not all of those things specifically, but that's sort of the centerpiece of it. It goes and ebbs and flows similar to this podcast, except for it's obviously it's a more gentle touch because my gorgeous, eloquent wife is the co host with me. So you should definitely subscribe, rate and review and check out Rapaport's Reality. They're all very, very fun and if you love reality TV, popular call culture and you're curious, because I know a lot of people are so curious about the comings and goings of what the fuck it's actually like being married to me the Gringo Mandango. Check out rap Reports Reality. Oh you know what, I forgot to mention with basketball and I fact check this, and you know we don't usually fact check things at the Iron Rap Hoorse Stereo podcast. They are banning fans temporarily from wearing Lukadankik jerseys in Dallas because it's causing too much like chaos and division and distraction during the games, which is insane to me. This is insane. And I'm telling you the way that the Lakers are starting to look and the talent that Dallas has, even though they're I mean dinged up. They're talking about weeks before Anthony Davis comes back, and that's just you know, to name a few, but can you imagine somehow someway if the Dallas Mavericks meet the Lakers in the playoffs, talk about fucking ratings, talking about rocking and rolling. That would be awesome, That would be really really awesome. But allegedly, apparently they don't want fans to wear Lukadankik jerseys in the arena for home games, which is some soft you traded them the fuck. I don't even know if that's allowed. You're looking for a lawsuit doing some crazy shit like that. What else is going on? You know who I didn't speak about over NFL Super Bowl weekend? You know I didn't talk about Bill Belichick is nuts. Yo. Have you seen Bill Belichick out on the yard with his new girlfriend, who I think is twenty four. Bill Belichick is seventy two, His girlfriend's twenty four, And this is just insane. This is and I'm not saying like, YO, don't get your freak on dollar Bill Belichick, but first of all, and I was on to him and I wrote about it in my it is going to happen sooner or later. Am I soon to be new York Times bestseller. If you've never read this book has ball sports rants from the MVP of Talking trash, you can buy it. You can download the audio book. But my man, dollar Bill Belichick out there with his girl. She's half dressed. He's seventy two, she's twenty four. She's wearing his Super Bowl rings, and the whole thing just looks nuts. And I would have enjoyed the new England Patriots reign of terror across the NFL, had Bill Belichick just you know, been doing his thing. But my man fell asleep. She didn't even have the respect to fucking wake him up. Dollar Bill Belichick fell asleep while him and his girlfriend we're at a North Carolina basketball Get wake your man up. She's probably like, I'm glad this old motherfucker's asleep. I get to enjoy myself and you know, let my hair down a little bit and have a rose or something like that. But Dollar Bill Belichick, hold it together. Man, If you're gonna be out on the town with a twenty three year old, you need to keep up. You can't be in public falling asleep with a twenty three year old girl on your side. And the twenty three year old. She must just have no respect. I think she was like, good, shut the fuck up, you mumbling, funny smelling old white man, because he looks like he smells funny dollar Bill Belichick. But you got to check out the clip of him falling asleep at the North Carolina game. It's crazy. What else is going on? Oh? Good documentary, another murder doc They they never fail. They got a nice formula going over there in Netflix. This Gabby Petito documentary on Netflix. I believe it's three parts, very very good. I didn't follow this story closely when it came out, and when I was watching it, I realized the reason why I didn't follow it closely, I think was because it was happening during COVID, and obviously I had bigger fish to fry. During COVID, I was following the likes of big Ed, Tiger King and The Last Dance. But this Gabby Petito three part documentary is really good about this young woman who falls in love with this young guy and they're like, you know, we're nature people. We're gonna go on the road and we're gonna go to Florida and take videotapes of sunsets and then we're gonna start a vlog and we're gonna vlog about our van life and eating you know, uh trees and uh granola and carrots and all that stuff. And it goes really really, really, really really wrong. And because she was a vlogger, they would videotape themselves doing so much, so there's so much footage of the lead up to her death and the whole her murder. Yeah, it was her fucking murder. My wife's chiming in from the other room murder. She was murdered. This fucking guy murdered her. He was never convicted because this sick fuck also murdered himself. And this is not a spoiler alert because even I knew that because it was all over the news, but I just didn't know the details and the depth of the story and the case and the parents involvement. Crazy. So if you're looking for something fun to watch, you should definitely check out the Gabby Petito three part documentary. It's easy to watch, it moves, it grooves, and like I said, they got a good formula working for all things sick fuck and sick fuck documentaries over there at Netflix. Anyway, make sure you tell a friend to tell a friend about the world's most disruptive podcast, the I Am Rapaport Stereo Podcast. If we're in the Tristate area, come see me in Stanford.
