Anyway, we'll jump right into this. Puppy, got the young shooter here with me. Dean Collins in Sukasa. Man. Yeah, you were talking about Memorial Day and only a couple of weeks left of May. But I don't know if you forgot or you just didn't mention it. But you know, my birthdays all Memorial Day. You chose like thirty your birthday is, Yeah, because you were talking about Memorial Day and a couple of weeks left and then we're in June. But you kind of just like glazed over that whole birthday thing that I got well, you kind of glazed over my birthday. Remember that? Not really remember that because remember remember when I turned fifty two? You just remember that nothing. It's not nothing, it was shit nothing I got turning thirty two. Man, it's like a fifty two. It's like after thirty five, who but thirty two year old birthday is also who cares? Yeah, It's just it's an adjustment period. It's like I'm getting into my adulthood. I'm still kind of youthful. Like my friends are here, they want to celebrate me. It's like fifty two. It's like you have to celebrate you because you know your family and it's your friends and all that. But so since you've got so many friends and want do you have plans in l A Because I'll be in New York. I'm not FedEx. Excuse me. I don't want to tie up the ups so the FedEx system. So I'm just telling you right now, you get shit. Be like if you get a fucking phone call, that's all right. You're You're just you're one of those friends. You know. It's like you have friends that don't remember your birthday. They don't really care about certain like monumental events, and then there are friends that really care about that stuff. You're just not one of those types of friends, you know what I mean? Um, but no, it's gonna be really fun birthday. A couple of friends are trying to plan something. We're talking about discussing maybe going to a restaurant and then maybe going across the street and going bowling. Um. I don't know why you're laughing at that. I like bowling. I I considered a sport. Um. Oh, it's funny about that, though, I don't really you know why that's so funny like that my friends want to take me out and take me bowling and eating. You know, but well, where did the bowling come from? Who said, you know, let's take dean bowl? I didn't know you're a bowler? Are you good at bowling? Well? I like bowling. I'm trying to like figure out that the spin I've been youtubing, like the spin, you know, because you could fucking curve the ball and all that. Ship. But I do like bowling. It's I have to say, I don't know what it is. Man. It's ever since that pandemic hit, ever since I just I don't have the energy to go out to drink. I'm like just depleted. My battery is low. I like, are you feeling that? I mean, I don't. You weren't like going out before the pandemic anyway. But but as far as that low battery, my battery is is low, broy yeah, my percentage, I mean, fuck, you know, no, no bullshit. I was thinking about this earlier, like I was like, you know, this morning, I got that puppy up to about eighty five. You know, I was walking. It's a gorgeous day in New York. I mean it is a picture perfect, like seventy something day in New York, just straight up t shirt weather, beautiful, beautiful day. And and I felt like, you know, with getting up, you know, doing my uh my gratitude thoughts of trying to do attitude of gratitude thoughts. Um. And then I was walking and I think I got that puppy up to about and it lasted for about like let's say you got an old phone and then the phone starts to die on you. And then we had a a work lunch and then that battery went down to like it was starting to blink, like eighteen fifteen, like yeah, and then I napped before I did this podcast, and like I said, um, I mean I like the fact that I had the podcast got me up because I love doing the podcast. But if it was any thing other than the podcast, I don't know what the fund to tell you. Really, Oh yeah, my battery, I need to send it to the Apple Store, like I need a genius to get my ship right. What's your battery life situation, my friend? Well, that's what's scary. It's like you're talking about. I mean, you're you're fifty two, and you're you're fifty two or fifty three. My man, I'm fifty two than you know. You're turning thirty two. I'm twenty years older than I forgot if it was fifty tift three, But um no, you knew it was fifty two. It's just it's slipped my mind. I well, well, maybe you're just trying to test my battery, my batteries on enough right now to make sure you know that it's fifty two. I'm not trying to drain it anymore than it already is. Brother, But I don't know if you're trying to drain it or see if it could get charged real quick, because it's good it's good for a quick charge like a chicken. And then you and you went from eighteen to like thirty within a matter of twenty seconds. I don't know what happened there, and now I'm right back at eighteen. It happens, bro, But you know what you're the fact that you're fifty two and you woke up at eighty five. So I didn't wake up at eighty five, but you got yourself at eighty five. I got myself to eighty five. I don't know how you're doing that though I'm thirty. I didn't wake up at eighty five. I woke up and around it's like mid thirties. But do you need what do you need to get up there? Do you need the coffee? Do you need the fucking juices? I mean, what are we working with to get you at eight? Normally? If I start moving around, physically moving around, we'll get that puppy right up to nine. Fantastic. That's what I'm saying. We're talking about general battery life right now. I'm saying, like my battery is not how do we get on this conversation. It's just it's something that I've noticed, since you've noticed about me or you know about me, and it's just before this pandemic, like the past three years, I'm just exhausted. Like even if I'm just going out with my sister and a couple of my best friends to dinner, i could be sitting at dinner for an hour talking and I feel like I'm like the life of the party. People know me is this extrovert, but it's taken a lot out of me where I'm depleted of my energy when I'm leaving little social situations. And you know, I went to this. I don't know if you saw, but I went to this festival um in Los Angeles called Just Like Heaven Festival the other day and it's basically a music festival in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl, and the lineup was awesome. It's kind of like dad Rock now, but it's basically all these bands from the early two thousand's, like inter Poll, Modest Mouse, Franz, Ferdinand Um, Santa Gold Chromeo, like this Ah the Shin's Like it's like my playlist from my iPod in two thousand five. I was so excited about it. I ended up going with a couple of my friends and I'm used to doing those festivals like Coachella three days. You know you're there for the first day, you know you're getting fucking crazy. Than the next day you wake up and you're right back at the festival. This day, it was awesome. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. I had a great time. But by the time it hit ten pm and interpoll was about to go on, I was fucking exhausted. I'm like, feet were hurting, my knees were hurting. I really felt my age. I was like me and my friends started doing stretches in some yoga in the middle of the fucking inter poll. Now you know what you see because people used to mock me. You're you're stretching in the public, Joe. It's fucked up. And it was just one day of bands that I love and I you know, I just said that you didn't even have to travel, you just drove like uber twenty minutes. But I was just thinking, how did I do all three days ago? Cell out it? I do all three days in Vegas. But I'm starting to feel my age, man and it and it's fucking scary. But I didn't feel that way before the pandemic. I don't know if this is a pandemic shit, or it's just I mean, were you like this? I know we're going on a whole tangent here, but were you Were you like this at thirty two? There's no way you were like in your prime you were slim. Yeah, I wasn't as dinged up. I wasn't as dinged up. I had two kids at thirty two, and god they ran me into the ground. But in general I felt pretty good. I felt pretty good, you know. Oh, honestly, do you think I don't want to go down like no, no cookie rabbit hole here? But like, do you would you even consider that? Because my wife, she's down with this, She's straight up say yes, would you even consider like the fact that boosters, like, you know, like it's done something to us? Would you even consider that? I don't think the booster. I mean, look, I'm sure I'm sure they have, But for me, no, I was feeling like this before I even got the first vaccine shot. To be honest with you, I've just been feeling like I don't know how to fucking socialize anymore. I think a lot of people feel that. But why do you feel do you feel different after the booster? At all. I don't know if it's the booster. I mean to be honest, I mean full quick transparency. My stomach has been acting up. I've you know that that sucks. I talked about it on the show. It's been active now. I haven't chat in public because of it yet, but but we're getting close to possibly having the ship in public. The other day, I was doing a show. I was in Ohio. I was in I was in UM. Where the funk was I Columbus? You were in Columbus, Ohio? Sorry I was, I keep saying Youngstown, Ohio. Um, I was in Columbus, Ohio and um. While I was on stage. Was just the first time that's ever happened me. While I was on stage, I had to urge to take a ship. Oh god, and that's not a fun feeling, Like did you kind of stop? Whatever ran crossed my mind, like okay, we don't want to have to go hey, guys, listen, hold on, order another drink. I'm gonna go drop This would be funny though, like that would see that those are things that that would be funny until I actually leave the stage to go drop the deuce. You fucking do it on the stage, do it live? Maybe that's part of what guys. This is the part of the act where I bring a fucking toilet up on stage and let me just get this. You know what if I just shipped, like like I bring out like a red bucket up there. Bucket. Yeah, folks, this isn't a tip jar. This isn't a throw up bucket. This this is for something. I need to release the fucking drop the kids off the pool here. But but and then you know, there was a couple of Iron Reports stereo podcast fans shout out to the all the people that came to the shows in Columbus. I was going to meet them afterwards, and I was like, yo, I had to bounce. And I didn't share in great detail, but I was like, yo, I had to. I wasn't feeling great and what I meant by wasn't feeling because I had to get off the stage and drop that that dizzel. We need to get your gut health, right man, No ship, Yeah, we really we're working on that gut health. And wait, so this tour on this um just like show you just like Kevin tor festival. It's a festival, okay, So this is for the aging gen Z. This is no, not for the aging gen Z. Gen Z has nothing to do with this. This gen Z before you, gen Z is after me. So this is for the aging millennium. Gen Z's younger than you, younger than me. Yes, I'm thirty two. There before you're younger, younger yeah, yeah, they're young they're before you. Sure, there before me. But this was like an aging millennial thing. Like I there were a lot of young people like my age, and they were like double fisting beers and then they had like their their kid in like a harness on them. Like That's when I was like, fuck, I'm like amongst people that are they have kids, their their husbands, their wives. Like it really reality really set in for me. Like I was watching some dad rock. I mean these bands were coming out like an oh five. I was loving these albums and oh five, and now they got fucking beers, groups, modest smells. I really like, who is this Santi Gold? And Santi Gold follows you by the way. I looked her up. You if you don't know her, she's sick. She follows. I know. Santi Gold, I know, and I actually um interviewed her in the Tribal Quest documentary. She's one of the people that unfortunately we had to cut out. Well really that's you would have you would have loved her. So so basically it was um Peaches Wolf Parade, the never heard of Peaches. They sang sucking on my titties like you wanted me, you know. They their ships like old school ship. The hot gives awesome Franz Ferdinand Santa gold Cut Copy Chromeo, m i A the Shin's Interpoll modest Mouse Block Party, them jeans. It really was awesome, but it was there a lot of people there, Yeah, but it was. There were only two stages. It was so nice seeing live music again. I hadn't been to a festival in over five years. It was it was a real trip being out there. But um, it was great. It was fucking awesome. Podcast. Do you want to talk about your latest consistency with your workouts? Because you said something to me the other day that I never thought I would here come out of your mouth. I said, oh, let's podcast at five, and you said I can't podcast at five. I have a boxing class. That is correct. You heard me. You heard me right, And I thought I dropped the fucking phone. I know a lot of people say that, like they just they can't believe that I'm like working out. I guess. But about a month ago, I it just clicked, like I had been eating so much ship for months. I was on a really good routine. Over summertime, I fell off. I had really kind of fallen off, and I was like, funk, I need to get my ship back together. So I joined a gym. I've been doing every day. I've been doing a class pretty much, so tonight I'm gonna do a boxing class Tomorrow. I usually do these hit classes, high interval intensity training for an hour. Those Yeah, you've done that ship. I do rumble in l A. Also, it's like pitch blots rumble. It's also another boxing thing. I do. Uh sweat, yo, God, I've been doing hot yoga. Holy fucking shit. I never ever thought that I would hear you you went to a hot yoga class. I went to a hot yoga class sweating. I brought my matt, I brought all this ship. I've been making your own man, I got matts. I've been doing TRX classes those bands, you know, like the fucking TRX bands. But we see you got yourself a new smoothie and a water infuse. Let's see that water infuser. This is this water infuser. It's like this kind of rubber bottom. It's got this little handle and uh, you can infuse the water. And I don't even I've never even heard of a water infuser. Well, what does an water infuser do? I haven't either. I've just honestly, I've just been pouring my bottles of essentia in it and I just drink. And then do you infuse it with like what? No? I should though, I should start putting, but you're into your lemon water, so we gotta get you this infuser. I feel like you would love this ship. And how does that puppy work? How does your water infuser work? Well, I mean I know that people at home are dying the or you explain how this? Of course? Now you see you just take it out. There is that little and but why don't you infuse it with like cucumbers and ship like that? I totally should, I just haven't yet. But I've been on my smoothie game, so like I wake up and I make these smoothies. I've been doing frozen strawberry, frozen banana, frozen blueberries, and then I'll do chia seed, hemp seed, flax seed, oak milk, honey, baby spinach, uh college in powder. I just got a meal plan too. I'm not trying to brag here. I'm just trying to get my health together. Bro. It's like, good for you, good for you? Man, that's crazy. So do you feel like if I came over as a guest or somebody came over as a guest, you feel confident enough to make somebody else's smoothie and be like, yeo, this is a solid smoothie thousand percent. You know what I do? I sprinkle I sprinkled goji berries on the top. Two. It's a the garnish. I garnish it with goji berries. Sprinkle that puppy on top. I can make you a smoothie, brother. I can't really cook, That's why I got these meal plans coming. But I can make a mean fucking smoothie. Brother. And do you feel like you're getting in shape? Like? Are you feel like you're ripped cock diesel? Like? What are you? What are you? I'm not ripped, but I'm in the I'm in the tempera sent body fat bracket. I have lost weight. I was about one forty six now now my scale says one thirty four. I don't know how accurate it is, but I am. I'm trying to do the ship bro But we we you and I do classes together, you and I. That would be First of all, can we just talk about the fact that I saw I was watching SNL for the first time recently. I never watched SNL was Natasha Leone was on it and there was this segment where they're doing an impression of Stephen A. Smith and Keenan Thompson's doing Kendrick Perkins and sp ESPN Undisputed or whatever it is, right, and Natasha Leone I was like, Oh, this is actually a funny sketch. And then Natasha Leone has a fucking New York cat and she's like, Hey, it's Michael Rappaport. I tripped the fuck out. What is it? Like? Did you see obviously you've seen the clip, Like, do you trip out? Seeing that I was bugging? I was bugging. Apparently this was a skit that was pre taped that didn't air, but he's been going viral since. And I was bugging because I had watched Saturday Night Live after my second show in Columbus, Ohio, and then watched the whole thing. But you know, I know Natasha for I've known Natasha since five years. Yeah, I mean we you know, you know, we've she's like, um a family member, you know, really um and um, you know, so I had to watch it and then when I saw the skit, I was bugging and um, you know, it just adds to the lore. It adds to the iconic nature of me, the Greeno man Dingo. And this is the third time they've they've mentioned my name on Saturday Night Live. Yeah, and they and they also did it on James Gordon. Remember that they did the whole James James Gordon. Yeah, Yeah, which is Miles Jordan. Play a little clip from Natasha Leone on first tape play the second time she starts popping off. Michael, you're the tipebreaker, Steph or Luca. Yo, man, I'm not even watching the playoffs. I thought you were a huge fan of basketball. Yo. You'll freaking wrong about that, right. And that's not basketball. It's players clinging layups on the bottom of the freaking rim. He's fans catching foul basketballs. It's leaving the game twenty minutes early and twice as freaking angry. That's the real m freaking worm. So I mean, you know she knows me and and it's all long and uh, you know that. I'm happy for her. I love her show Russian Doll and you know, I mean she had a crazy life. I mean she was really really really not well for a period of time, like for real not well, Like I didn't think, you know, she was gonna be alive because of the drugs and the abuse to her to her body. So I'm happy for her. She's good people. And um, you know, what can I say? Um? You know, but the thing about Sun and Live was like, Yo, maybe you invite me to the after party because you can't keep my name out your mouth because they got your fucking name in their mouth. I don't they Yeah, they can't keep it out there fucking mouth. That's they have the after parties every week. But maybe you know, slip us a little invite there, sleep us an invite, or keep my fucking name out your fucking mouth. Well we'll fucking wind up that slap for you. We're ready for that. No problem. That ain't no problem because the pinkies real like the pinkies healed up in real nice and real proper. So the pinkies ready to go. The pinky is like just like brand new. Well, I think it's cool that Natasha Leone she kind of took like not as big obviously, but she kind of took like a Robert Downey Jr. Approach with her acting like big in her day, then fell off with drugs, didn't know if she's going to fucking jail or ever gonna have a career again, and then just bounce back like bigger than ever. I mean, her shows she she's a good person. She she's a sweet percy, very very very smart, and it was a tasteful segment to it was like it was a funny segment that you know, it's all it's all up and I guarantee you she pitched that. I guarantee you she it was. It was her idea. It was it was a combination of people's idea, like you know because when they ask you, you know, when impressions right, and she's like I do, Michael Rapp, that's great there, Yeah, they would probably fucking love that. Um, that's that is so cool though, I just I can't imagine like just stumbling upon that. You know, it's that's crazy, how flattering. But that was the end of the season. And and now, um, what's her name, Kate McKinnon is leaving the show. Pete Davidson, all that, Pete Davidson and Ida Bryant they're leaving the show. And uh, you know, I mean Kate McKinnon, let's let's face it, she's you just gotta say, Kate McKinnon's leaving the show. That that's that's a loss. I mean, there's no loss that Pete Davidson is leaving the show, because let's be honest. I mean, he's fine when he's on there, But nobody has gotten more out of being on Saturday Night Live for actually doing less. Nobody has gotten more from being on Saturday Live for somebody who's done so little and accomplished so little. And and that's a fucking fact period. Now he's he's living it up. I mean, I know, he just came out with some he did some Netflix ship recently, some stand up thing, but I I didn't. I watched someone I'm gonna tell you straight up, his stand up his whack. I agree, And I think a lot of people agree with you. I like all the comments were just like, this isn't funny. This dude is not funny. Like I think a lot of people don't think he's funny. But he's just you know, the Kim Kardashian ship and likable guy whatever. But hey, speaking of stand up, Yeah, the Judd Apataw directed a George Carlin documentary on HBO that is excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent about uh, the work the life of the great George Carlin, who who's inspired all comedians, And it's so well done, so emotional, um, and so captures who he was, what he did, and the span and the diversity of his career. It's so fucking good. Who's so inspiring um because he truly was like an artist, artist, artist at heart, cynical um as a motherfucker and some would say even dark and bitter as a motherfucker. But it really shows what he was really like, which was very caring. Towards the end of his life with his career in his work, some people say he became cynical, but I think it was because he was just like a sensitive, sense of caring person. It's really fucking well done. This documentary UM on HBO about uh George Carlin funk. I gotta check that out. I mean love Judd Apatal. That's cool. You should definitely check it out. It was really, really, really good. I was. I was surprised how how good it was. So last week was doing the Wendy Williams Show, and of course we had the great Erica Jane on the podcast, Erica Jane of the Real House was of Beverly Hills. You actually on this very podcast you sort of shot your shot for Erica Jane UM a few episodes ago. I believe it might have been the that might have been the episode when you were in New York with the Snowball. Oh oh yeah, I was in New York. I definitely kind of like professed my love to her in a way. I've I've had a thing for her. I love her. I love her blonde hair, her lips, her eyes. I think she's got a great personality. But as you were saying, right, and we ran into her in l a another time. M hm. So, Erica Jane came on the Wendy Williams Show last week, which was I gotta tell you, I mean, I see that this is when we can talk about the gratitude. When I'm able to do the I Am Rappaport Stereo podcast, when I'm able to go to Columbus, Ohio, even though it was humid as funk out there, when I'm able to do the Wendy Williams Show. These are big sweeps of gratitude. Like I'm trying to do the minutia gratitude, which is just as important, but like I mean, those are like, I have so much fun doing the three things I just mentioned, and I'm so lucky to be able to do them, so especially because you guys know how much I love Housewives. Some people like are you for real? And I'm like, yeah, what do you think? It's not a put on anyway. So so Erica Jane, the great Erica Jane from the Real Euess of Beverly Hills. She came on the Wendy Williams Show last week and before the show she mentioned me at all, Well, that's what I was getting too, because you put it out there, and I think, did you d m R No, No, I didn't do anything like that. Now, because sometimes you do d m s and you don't tell me about it, Like I know, she saw the video of you saying you wanted to, you know, get with her. She comment, she laughed, and she left the heart emoji or yeah yeah. Now, I said, I wanted to take her bowling, go out to dinner, or just normal stuff that you know. I don't have any lawsuits tied to my name. I thought it would be a nice thing. So boom. Maybe that's maybe that's where things went wrong, because maybe she thought it was too soon to make that kind of joke. Anyway, So before the show, not on air, on air, we talked about dating. She but this is because it would it would have been incredible. She did this on air, Well what do you mean? What did So before the show, I said, are you you you got a boyfriend? You? And she said no, she goes, but you know, maybe you could help I really, you know, do you have any friends? And I said I said I don't. She goes, come on, you gotta have somebody beat Beat Beat besides Dean, And like she was saying, like, do you got any other friends besides fucking Dean? So what I wanted to tell you is like you're shot with Erica Jane. It's it's not happening. No, that she she I don't believe that. I don't believe that she said that. I think that maybe she was saying, do you have any friends besides Zan, because like Dean is such like marriage material type guy. I kind of just want to have fun before I want to settle down with such a great catch type of guy. Maybe you have other people that I could just I'm just telling you what she said. I didn't read between the lines. Um, you know I you know, I'm very protective of you. And what was your response to that? I went like this, ha ha, oh shit, and it just kind of and it was like that weird like you know the movie The Office, you know, the show of the Office, Like there's those awkward pauses. Yeah, like this one here. Yeah, it was like that, Okay, because I'm just kind of registering this is just I didn't. I didn't because you know, I did put it, just like Heaven Festival up on my on my stories on Instagram, and there were a lot of them, right, I had a lot of stories from that festival. I went to the last story. She looked at the last story, so she's looking at the whole story. I'm not saying I'm not saying she doesn't adore you. I'm not saying she doesn't, but as far as somebody she's trying to she's looking for somebody older. That's what I think, that's what she meant to say. That's for sure, she's looking for somebody older. She was like, probably thinks you're twenty three years old because you're turning thirty two, but you literally look twenty three years old, fantastic, and you're fifty two and you literally look seventy two. Fuck you, asshole. I was trying to be complex. I was trying to compliment you. You fun because you got I said, I was trying to compliment you. You man start laughing after Erica Jane's fucking thing. I don't know. I don't know what was so funny about that. I know you could go fund yourself, man, because I was trying to come funk you too. Man, fucking got me. You got my feelings hurt from that. What can I do for you? She's gonna check up for you. She'll check on me in forty years, believe me. Okay, eight, she's gonna be like, can you set me up with that fucking guy who's shriveled up and hopefully as money. And he said, I don't know, don't know what to tell you, man, she checked up for you. Now that's the fucking burst my bubble for my boxing class tonight. I want to go in there with some fucking you know energy. In your boxing classes, the teacher of the boxing class, do they ever hold the mits up and you individually hit the mits? I've never done it at this gym. I've only done one class at Rumble and it was pitch black and I didn't know what the funk I was doing. They had techno music on. It was pitch black. Everyone has a bag in front of them and she's like she's like do this, do this, do this, and then all the lights go off and you're supposed to just like know how to do it. I'm like, yeah, I don't don't that that. My My wife took me to one of those ones and she was like. It was Solud and she's like, no, do this. My wife is telling me this. We well the trainers give me and I'm like, I've never been here before. But there's no pre class, there's no you know, we'll talk about it just for two or three minutes before we shut the lights and turn on this awful music. Awful music. We when I see you, when you're back in l A. When I go back out there, we're on the road again. We have to start doing some like classes, some gym whatever, I'm gonna try, and because I need to get my lung game up. That's when you're doing your boxing class afterwards. This is a good question in regards to that battery. Um, do you how does that battery feel like after you get over the tiredness? Do you get those endorphins? Is it endorphins finds? I don't fucking no, man, everyone talks about these endorphins. I go home. I ripped them. Endorphins. No, not in not in orphans, not endoor fiends, endorphins like like dolphins, like a fin in door feeds. Endorphins. You don't know how to fucking listen. The door fits. I just said it, endorphins, the door fiends. You're saying the door finds. That's right, and door fins. There you go, brother, good ship, So you get those after the class? I get him like, oh, I'm kind of hopped up right now, but like I'm I'm ready to go home and smoke. That's like where the endorphments come. Like I can't wait to get home and smoke. It's not like I'm ready to take on the day. You know what I mean? Do you smoke before your classes? And that's the thing I like some people do that, you know, Durant listen Durant Is on. I didn't see it yet. I'm not watching. Who could care less, But there's the new durant is um out in the open talking about how much he smokes weed. I saw that. I saw that. I mean, good, you know, good for him. He should he should talk. No, but these athletes, the pro athletes, you know, they smoke weed before NBA games. I don't know how to. I was like, I didn't even want to smoke before this podcast. That's fat. Yeah, that's that's craziness to me. I mean, but regular Joe Schmos like they'll they'll smoke weed before they work up. But I don't understand that. I don't either. I'm just it's too awkward for me. I feel like everyone knows him high. I'm not giving my all, like, but I have to say, it's two twenty my time right now. I have a class at five thirty, and it is I'm such a fucking addict with weed that it's it's really hard for me not to smoke right now. Like I'm really struggling not to just hit the blong and go later because I know if I do, it's it's just gonna funk me up. And it's yeah, so you know that if you smoke the weed now, you won't go to the class most likely. Most likely I won't. And but are you smoking and an indocor sativa? I'm smoking an indicavia. I don't know how much that you know, but indica is no I know when when when I was smoking, I could tell the difference because indecas are up. No way incas down in because they're down. I don't. I feel like if you smoked a sativa during the day before your your class, you might get in on some motherfucking ivan drago ship. Maybe that's that's a good point. I see. I don't use weed for that type of sh I'll drink like a Celsius drink. It's called selsie. It's like an energy drink and a cany wow, look at you Celsius drinks, blenders, smoothies, infused water. If you are you bro, Thank you bro. If you drink that fucking half a can of that energy drink of Celsius, that will get you fucking jacked. Is it caffeine? It's got it. Yeah, it has to be. It's got to be some ship in there. It's you can't funk with that ship. Yeah, it's it's good that you're not doing that. So when's the next stand up gig? When were we going next? Okay, well that's the thing. The next stand up gig is June tenth, June eleventh in Virginia Beach. June tenth, eleventh, Virginia Beach. After that is June sixteenth, June seventeenth, June eighth, San Antonio. Okay, so we got Virginia Beach in June. We got San Antonio in June. All tickets, all information is available at Michael rappaport Comedy dot com. Every show that I go to, i'd say at least five people either DM me or when they see me in personal they go, where's the shooter. I don't like disappointing the fans because you've told people you're gonna go to this fucking town, that town. If you don't show up, and you know, people should start instead of saying where's the shooter, they should be like, fun the shooter. No, dude, I should write that to my gratitude journal. I'm so grateful that people are even asking about me, that even known. You say, you got recognized by people at your your hype festival and what was it called the Happy Day Festival? Just just like having festival. I was literally walking from the bathroom to go meet meet up with my friends again, and some guy came over to me said, dude, that band Block Party, They're one of my favorite bands. They were so bad. I it really ruined my day. But the shooter running into you, you just made you made up for all that. I'm having such a great time. Now, can we take a picture. I love the podcast, and I told you because I'm I'm always just like stunned that people even recognize me from this podcast, and I'm that put that on your journal. Put that in your gratitude journal, motherfucker, It's already in my gratitude journal. Bro, you wrote it in there already, or you had already put it in your gratitude journal. Well I'm going to put it in there. I'm just saying, like it's already done. You know, like going there. So the point is is that Virginia Beach is only two days san Antonio's three days. San Antonio is not all the way across the country. Don't commit right now because I'm going to Cabo with my family June six to the eleventh. We have we're getting a house on the beach in Cabo six to the eleventh. You're welcome to come visit to Like if for whatever reason the shows you get out, I could come to Cabo. Yeah, come come kick it man. We'll be on the beach in the house and I'll be with my room for me. There'll be a there'll be a room for you. You You and keep I think they even mentioned you and you and keep you welcome to come. But you say, oh, me and Keepy we can go. But then you kind of just throw it out there. Now, why will you formally tell me so I can possibly plan because I'm not sure you. I know your mother, Yeah, I know your father, your siblings, they would be so happy with me and keep being there. But I feel like you you'd be like, no, you know what, Mom, don't invite him because if there is a if there is an offend chance that he comes, that's gonna ruin it for me. That's funny, man, I don't know, it's like man, Yeah, that that was a kind of a similar conversation I had to her. It's not those weren't the exact words. But I'm always happy to have your lovely wife with us wherever we go. But you know, it's just coughing and and just you don't know how to use utensils for some reason, like your mother never taught you like, Um, it wasn't her fault. My father. I wasn't raised correctly. No, you're you're like and and my parents did a lot of good things for me. When you say you weren't raised correctly, it sounds like you're shooting on your parents. They did wonderful, wonderful, wonderful things. I believe my brother picked up some of the skills that I didn't pick up. It could have just been me being able to download and process the skills. But I'm out here, I'm okay. Hold on Siren, Siren, New York. Yea yea. Anyway, I'll check my schedule about coming with you, Tokabo. Yeah, yeah, we'll touch base. Thanks for bringing it up. We might make that trip thank you. Just check my schedule to just the six of the eleven. I'm not sure if it's definitely those days, but I'll just have to backtrack and just double three days in Cabo would be awesome since we have our own room. We appreciate it anyway, Dean, listen, everybody's pumped for your birthday. On Man, everybody's happy that you were on the podcast. We're team Shooter, Erica James. It's her loss.

Hope everybody's feeling good, Hope everybody's feeling safe, Hope everybody's feeling insane, and said, welcome you to a another brand new banging. I am Rapp Reports stereo podcast, coming live and direct from New York City. We're heading into the last month. We're heading into the last week of May. If you could believe that Memorial Day is this coming Monday, and then it's over, we'll be in June time. Sure flies when you're in a monkey pock pandemic. Oh yeah, that monkeypos it's looming. Anyway, we'll jump right into this. Puppy, got the young shooter here with me. Dean Collins in Sukasa. Man. Yeah, you were talking about Memorial Day and only a couple of weeks left of May. But I don't know if you forgot or you just didn't mention it. But you know, my birthdays all Memorial Day. You chose like thirty your birthday is, Yeah, because you were talking about Memorial Day and a couple of weeks left and then we're in June. But you kind of just like glazed over that whole birthday thing that I got well, you kind of glazed over my birthday. Remember that? Not really remember that because remember remember when I turned fifty two? You just remember that nothing. It's not nothing, it was shit nothing I got turning thirty two. Man, it's like a fifty two. It's like after thirty five, who but thirty two year old birthday is also who cares? Yeah, It's just it's an adjustment period. It's like I'm getting into my adulthood. I'm still kind of youthful. Like my friends are here, they want to celebrate me. It's like fifty two. It's like you have to celebrate you because you know your family and it's your friends and all that. But so since you've got so many friends and want do you have plans in l A Because I'll be in New York. I'm not FedEx. Excuse me. I don't want to tie up the ups so the FedEx system. So I'm just telling you right now, you get shit. Be like if you get a fucking phone call, that's all right. You're You're just you're one of those friends. You know. It's like you have friends that don't remember your birthday. They don't really care about certain like monumental events, and then there are friends that really care about that stuff. You're just not one of those types of friends, you know what I mean? Um, but no, it's gonna be really fun birthday. A couple of friends are trying to plan something. We're talking about discussing maybe going to a restaurant and then maybe going across the street and going bowling. Um. I don't know why you're laughing at that. I like bowling. I I considered a sport. Um. Oh, it's funny about that, though, I don't really you know why that's so funny like that my friends want to take me out and take me bowling and eating. You know, but well, where did the bowling come from? Who said, you know, let's take dean bowl? I didn't know you're a bowler? Are you good at bowling? Well? I like bowling. I'm trying to like figure out that the spin I've been youtubing, like the spin, you know, because you could fucking curve the ball and all that. Ship. But I do like bowling. It's I have to say, I don't know what it is. Man. It's ever since that pandemic hit, ever since I just I don't have the energy to go out to drink. I'm like just depleted. My battery is low. I like, are you feeling that? I mean, I don't. You weren't like going out before the pandemic anyway. But but as far as that low battery, my battery is is low, broy yeah, my percentage, I mean, fuck, you know, no, no bullshit. I was thinking about this earlier, like I was like, you know, this morning, I got that puppy up to about eighty five. You know, I was walking. It's a gorgeous day in New York. I mean it is a picture perfect, like seventy something day in New York, just straight up t shirt weather, beautiful, beautiful day. And and I felt like, you know, with getting up, you know, doing my uh my gratitude thoughts of trying to do attitude of gratitude thoughts. Um. And then I was walking and I think I got that puppy up to about and it lasted for about like let's say you got an old phone and then the phone starts to die on you. And then we had a a work lunch and then that battery went down to like it was starting to blink, like eighteen fifteen, like yeah, and then I napped before I did this podcast, and like I said, um, I mean I like the fact that I had the podcast got me up because I love doing the podcast. But if it was any thing other than the podcast, I don't know what the fund to tell you. Really, Oh yeah, my battery, I need to send it to the Apple Store, like I need a genius to get my ship right. What's your battery life situation, my friend? Well, that's what's scary. It's like you're talking about. I mean, you're you're fifty two, and you're you're fifty two or fifty three. My man, I'm fifty two than you know. You're turning thirty two. I'm twenty years older than I forgot if it was fifty tift three, But um no, you knew it was fifty two. It's just it's slipped my mind. I well, well, maybe you're just trying to test my battery, my batteries on enough right now to make sure you know that it's fifty two. I'm not trying to drain it anymore than it already is. Brother, But I don't know if you're trying to drain it or see if it could get charged real quick, because it's good it's good for a quick charge like a chicken. And then you and you went from eighteen to like thirty within a matter of twenty seconds. I don't know what happened there, and now I'm right back at eighteen. It happens, bro, But you know what you're the fact that you're fifty two and you woke up at eighty five. So I didn't wake up at eighty five, but you got yourself at eighty five. I got myself to eighty five. I don't know how you're doing that though I'm thirty. I didn't wake up at eighty five. I woke up and around it's like mid thirties. But do you need what do you need to get up there? Do you need the coffee? Do you need the fucking juices? I mean, what are we working with to get you at eight? Normally? If I start moving around, physically moving around, we'll get that puppy right up to nine. Fantastic. That's what I'm saying. We're talking about general battery life right now. I'm saying, like my battery is not how do we get on this conversation. It's just it's something that I've noticed, since you've noticed about me or you know about me, and it's just before this pandemic, like the past three years, I'm just exhausted. Like even if I'm just going out with my sister and a couple of my best friends to dinner, i could be sitting at dinner for an hour talking and I feel like I'm like the life of the party. People know me is this extrovert, but it's taken a lot out of me where I'm depleted of my energy when I'm leaving little social situations. And you know, I went to this. I don't know if you saw, but I went to this festival um in Los Angeles called Just Like Heaven Festival the other day and it's basically a music festival in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl, and the lineup was awesome. It's kind of like dad Rock now, but it's basically all these bands from the early two thousand's, like inter Poll, Modest Mouse, Franz, Ferdinand Um, Santa Gold Chromeo, like this Ah the Shin's Like it's like my playlist from my iPod in two thousand five. I was so excited about it. I ended up going with a couple of my friends and I'm used to doing those festivals like Coachella three days. You know you're there for the first day, you know you're getting fucking crazy. Than the next day you wake up and you're right back at the festival. This day, it was awesome. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. I had a great time. But by the time it hit ten pm and interpoll was about to go on, I was fucking exhausted. I'm like, feet were hurting, my knees were hurting. I really felt my age. I was like me and my friends started doing stretches in some yoga in the middle of the fucking inter poll. Now you know what you see because people used to mock me. You're you're stretching in the public, Joe. It's fucked up. And it was just one day of bands that I love and I you know, I just said that you didn't even have to travel, you just drove like uber twenty minutes. But I was just thinking, how did I do all three days ago? Cell out it? I do all three days in Vegas. But I'm starting to feel my age, man and it and it's fucking scary. But I didn't feel that way before the pandemic. I don't know if this is a pandemic shit, or it's just I mean, were you like this? I know we're going on a whole tangent here, but were you Were you like this at thirty two? There's no way you were like in your prime you were slim. Yeah, I wasn't as dinged up. I wasn't as dinged up. I had two kids at thirty two, and god they ran me into the ground. But in general I felt pretty good. I felt pretty good, you know. Oh, honestly, do you think I don't want to go down like no, no cookie rabbit hole here? But like, do you would you even consider that? Because my wife, she's down with this, She's straight up say yes, would you even consider like the fact that boosters, like, you know, like it's done something to us? Would you even consider that? I don't think the booster. I mean, look, I'm sure I'm sure they have, But for me, no, I was feeling like this before I even got the first vaccine shot. To be honest with you, I've just been feeling like I don't know how to fucking socialize anymore. I think a lot of people feel that. But why do you feel do you feel different after the booster? At all. I don't know if it's the booster. I mean to be honest, I mean full quick transparency. My stomach has been acting up. I've you know that that sucks. I talked about it on the show. It's been active now. I haven't chat in public because of it yet, but but we're getting close to possibly having the ship in public. The other day, I was doing a show. I was in Ohio. I was in I was in UM. Where the funk was I Columbus? You were in Columbus, Ohio? Sorry I was, I keep saying Youngstown, Ohio. Um, I was in Columbus, Ohio and um. While I was on stage. Was just the first time that's ever happened me. While I was on stage, I had to urge to take a ship. Oh god, and that's not a fun feeling, Like did you kind of stop? Whatever ran crossed my mind, like okay, we don't want to have to go hey, guys, listen, hold on, order another drink. I'm gonna go drop This would be funny though, like that would see that those are things that that would be funny until I actually leave the stage to go drop the deuce. You fucking do it on the stage, do it live? Maybe that's part of what guys. This is the part of the act where I bring a fucking toilet up on stage and let me just get this. You know what if I just shipped, like like I bring out like a red bucket up there. Bucket. Yeah, folks, this isn't a tip jar. This isn't a throw up bucket. This this is for something. I need to release the fucking drop the kids off the pool here. But but and then you know, there was a couple of Iron Reports stereo podcast fans shout out to the all the people that came to the shows in Columbus. I was going to meet them afterwards, and I was like, yo, I had to bounce. And I didn't share in great detail, but I was like, yo, I had to. I wasn't feeling great and what I meant by wasn't feeling because I had to get off the stage and drop that that dizzel. We need to get your gut health, right man, No ship, Yeah, we really we're working on that gut health. And wait, so this tour on this um just like show you just like Kevin tor festival. It's a festival, okay, So this is for the aging gen Z. This is no, not for the aging gen Z. Gen Z has nothing to do with this. This gen Z before you, gen Z is after me. So this is for the aging millennium. Gen Z's younger than you, younger than me. Yes, I'm thirty two. There before you're younger, younger yeah, yeah, they're young they're before you. Sure, there before me. But this was like an aging millennial thing. Like I there were a lot of young people like my age, and they were like double fisting beers and then they had like their their kid in like a harness on them. Like That's when I was like, fuck, I'm like amongst people that are they have kids, their their husbands, their wives. Like it really reality really set in for me. Like I was watching some dad rock. I mean these bands were coming out like an oh five. I was loving these albums and oh five, and now they got fucking beers, groups, modest smells. I really like, who is this Santi Gold? And Santi Gold follows you by the way. I looked her up. You if you don't know her, she's sick. She follows. I know. Santi Gold, I know, and I actually um interviewed her in the Tribal Quest documentary. She's one of the people that unfortunately we had to cut out. Well really that's you would have you would have loved her. So so basically it was um Peaches Wolf Parade, the never heard of Peaches. They sang sucking on my titties like you wanted me, you know. They their ships like old school ship. The hot gives awesome Franz Ferdinand Santa gold Cut Copy Chromeo, m i A the Shin's Interpoll modest Mouse Block Party, them jeans. It really was awesome, but it was there a lot of people there, Yeah, but it was. There were only two stages. It was so nice seeing live music again. I hadn't been to a festival in over five years. It was it was a real trip being out there. But um, it was great. It was fucking awesome. Podcast. Do you want to talk about your latest consistency with your workouts? Because you said something to me the other day that I never thought I would here come out of your mouth. I said, oh, let's podcast at five, and you said I can't podcast at five. I have a boxing class. That is correct. You heard me. You heard me right, And I thought I dropped the fucking phone. I know a lot of people say that, like they just they can't believe that I'm like working out. I guess. But about a month ago, I it just clicked, like I had been eating so much ship for months. I was on a really good routine. Over summertime, I fell off. I had really kind of fallen off, and I was like, funk, I need to get my ship back together. So I joined a gym. I've been doing every day. I've been doing a class pretty much, so tonight I'm gonna do a boxing class Tomorrow. I usually do these hit classes, high interval intensity training for an hour. Those Yeah, you've done that ship.

I've been doing TRX classes those bands, you know, like the fucking TRX bands. But we see you got yourself a new smoothie and a water infuse. Let's see that water infuser. This is this water infuser. It's like this kind of rubber bottom. It's got this little handle and uh, you can infuse the water. And I don't even I've never even heard of a water infuser. Well, what does an water infuser do? I haven't either. I've just honestly, I've just been pouring my bottles of essentia in it and I just drink. And then do you infuse it with like what? No? I should though, I should start putting, but you're into your lemon water, so we gotta get you this infuser. I feel like you would love this ship. And how does that puppy work? How does your water infuser work? Well, I mean I know that people at home are dying the or you explain how this? Of course? Now you see you just take it out. There is that little and but why don't you infuse it with like cucumbers and ship like that? I totally should, I just haven't yet.

Smith and Keenan Thompson's doing Kendrick Perkins and sp ESPN Undisputed or whatever it is, right, and Natasha Leone I was like, Oh, this is actually a funny sketch. And then Natasha Leone has a fucking New York cat and she's like, Hey, it's Michael Rappaport. I tripped the fuck out. What is it? Like? Did you see obviously you've seen the clip, Like, do you trip out? Seeing that I was bugging? I was bugging. Apparently this was a skit that was pre taped that didn't air, but he's been going viral since. And I was bugging because I had watched Saturday Night Live after my second show in Columbus, Ohio, and then watched the whole thing. But you know, I know Natasha for I've known Natasha since five years. Yeah, I mean we you know, you know, we've she's like, um a family member, you know, really um and um, you know, so I had to watch it and then when I saw the skit, I was bugging and um, you know, it just adds to the lore. It adds to the iconic nature of me, the Greeno man Dingo. And this is the third time they've they've mentioned my name on Saturday Night Live. Yeah, and they and they also did it on James Gordon. Remember that they did the whole James James Gordon. Yeah, Yeah, which is Miles Jordan. Play a little clip from Natasha Leone on first tape play the second time she starts popping off. Michael, you're the tipebreaker, Steph or Luca. Yo, man, I'm not even watching the playoffs. I thought you were a huge fan of basketball. Yo. You'll freaking wrong about that, right. And that's not basketball. It's players clinging layups on the bottom of the freaking rim. He's fans catching foul basketballs. It's leaving the game twenty minutes early and twice as freaking angry. That's the real m freaking worm. So I mean, you know she knows me and and it's all long and uh, you know that. I'm happy for her. I love her show Russian Doll and you know, I mean she had a crazy life. I mean she was really really really not well for a period of time, like for real not well, Like I didn't think, you know, she was gonna be alive because of the drugs and the abuse to her to her body. So I'm happy for her. She's good people. And um, you know, what can I say? Um? You know, but the thing about Sun and Live was like, Yo, maybe you invite me to the after party because you can't keep my name out your mouth because they got your fucking name in their mouth. I don't they Yeah, they can't keep it out there fucking mouth. That's they have the after parties every week. But maybe you know, slip us a little invite there, sleep us an invite, or keep my fucking name out your fucking mouth. Well we'll fucking wind up that slap for you. We're ready for that. No problem. That ain't no problem because the pinkies real like the pinkies healed up in real nice and real proper. So the pinkies ready to go. The pinky is like just like brand new. Well, I think it's cool that Natasha Leone she kind of took like not as big obviously, but she kind of took like a Robert Downey Jr. Approach with her acting like big in her day, then fell off with drugs, didn't know if she's going to fucking jail or ever gonna have a career again, and then just bounce back like bigger than ever. I mean, her shows she she's a good person. She she's a sweet percy, very very very smart, and it was a tasteful segment to it was like it was a funny segment that you know, it's all it's all up and I guarantee you she pitched that. I guarantee you she it was. It was her idea. It was it was a combination of people's idea, like you know because when they ask you, you know, when impressions right, and she's like I do, Michael Rapp, that's great there, Yeah, they would probably fucking love that. Um, that's that is so cool though, I just I can't imagine like just stumbling upon that. You know, it's that's crazy, how flattering. But that was the end of the season. And and now, um, what's her name, Kate McKinnon is leaving the show. Pete Davidson, all that, Pete Davidson and Ida Bryant they're leaving the show. And uh, you know, I mean Kate McKinnon, let's let's face it, she's you just gotta say, Kate McKinnon's leaving the show. That that's that's a loss. I mean, there's no loss that Pete Davidson is leaving the show, because let's be honest. I mean, he's fine when he's on there, But nobody has gotten more out of being on Saturday Night Live for actually doing less. Nobody has gotten more from being on Saturday Live for somebody who's done so little and accomplished so little. And and that's a fucking fact period. Now he's he's living it up. I mean, I know, he just came out with some he did some Netflix ship recently, some stand up thing, but I I didn't. I watched someone I'm gonna tell you straight up, his stand up his whack. I agree, And I think a lot of people agree with you. I like all the comments were just like, this isn't funny. This dude is not funny. Like I think a lot of people don't think he's funny. But he's just you know, the Kim Kardashian ship and likable guy whatever. But hey, speaking of stand up, Yeah, the Judd Apataw directed a George Carlin documentary on HBO that is excellent, excellent, excellent, excellent about uh, the work the life of the great George Carlin, who who's inspired all comedians, And it's so well done, so emotional, um, and so captures who he was, what he did, and the span and the diversity of his career. It's so fucking good. Who's so inspiring um because he truly was like an artist, artist, artist at heart, cynical um as a motherfucker and some would say even dark and bitter as a motherfucker. But it really shows what he was really like, which was very caring. Towards the end of his life with his career in his work, some people say he became cynical, but I think it was because he was just like a sensitive, sense of caring person. It's really fucking well done. This documentary UM on HBO about uh George Carlin funk. I gotta check that out. I mean love Judd Apatal. That's cool. You should definitely check it out. It was really, really, really good. I was. I was surprised how how good it was. So last week was doing the Wendy Williams Show, and of course we had the great Erica Jane on the podcast, Erica Jane of the Real House was of Beverly Hills. You actually on this very podcast you sort of shot your shot for Erica Jane UM a few episodes ago. I believe it might have been the that might have been the episode when you were in New York with the Snowball. Oh oh yeah, I was in New York. I definitely kind of like professed my love to her in a way. I've I've had a thing for her. I love her. I love her blonde hair, her lips, her eyes. I think she's got a great personality. But as you were saying, right, and we ran into her in l a another time. M hm. So, Erica Jane came on the Wendy Williams Show last week, which was I gotta tell you, I mean, I see that this is when we can talk about the gratitude. When I'm able to do the I Am Rappaport Stereo podcast, when I'm able to go to Columbus, Ohio, even though it was humid as funk out there, when I'm able to do the Wendy Williams Show. These are big sweeps of gratitude. Like I'm trying to do the minutia gratitude, which is just as important, but like I mean, those are like, I have so much fun doing the three things I just mentioned, and I'm so lucky to be able to do them, so especially because you guys know how much I love Housewives. Some people like are you for real? And I'm like, yeah, what do you think? It's not a put on anyway. So so Erica Jane, the great Erica Jane from the Real Euess of Beverly Hills. She came on the Wendy Williams Show last week and before the show she mentioned me at all, Well, that's what I was getting too, because you put it out there, and I think, did you d m R No, No, I didn't do anything like that. Now, because sometimes you do d m s and you don't tell me about it, Like I know, she saw the video of you saying you wanted to, you know, get with her. She comment, she laughed, and she left the heart emoji or yeah yeah. Now, I said, I wanted to take her bowling, go out to dinner, or just normal stuff that you know. I don't have any lawsuits tied to my name. I thought it would be a nice thing. So boom. Maybe that's maybe that's where things went wrong, because maybe she thought it was too soon to make that kind of joke. Anyway, So before the show, not on air, on air, we talked about dating. She but this is because it would it would have been incredible. She did this on air, Well what do you mean? What did So before the show, I said, are you you you got a boyfriend? You? And she said no, she goes, but you know, maybe you could help I really, you know, do you have any friends? And I said I said I don't. She goes, come on, you gotta have somebody beat Beat Beat besides Dean, And like she was saying, like, do you got any other friends besides fucking Dean? So what I wanted to tell you is like you're shot with Erica Jane. It's it's not happening. No, that she she I don't believe that. I don't believe that she said that. I think that maybe she was saying, do you have any friends besides Zan, because like Dean is such like marriage material type guy. I kind of just want to have fun before I want to settle down with such a great catch type of guy. Maybe you have other people that I could just I'm just telling you what she said. I didn't read between the lines. Um, you know I you know, I'm very protective of you. And what was your response to that? I went like this, ha ha, oh shit, and it just kind of and it was like that weird like you know the movie The Office, you know, the show of the Office, Like there's those awkward pauses. Yeah, like this one here. Yeah, it was like that, Okay, because I'm just kind of registering this is just I didn't. I didn't because you know, I did put it, just like Heaven Festival up on my on my stories on Instagram, and there were a lot of them, right, I had a lot of stories from that festival. I went to the last story. She looked at the last story, so she's looking at the whole story. I'm not saying I'm not saying she doesn't adore you. I'm not saying she doesn't, but as far as somebody she's trying to she's looking for somebody older. That's what I think, that's what she meant to say. That's for sure, she's looking for somebody older. She was like, probably thinks you're twenty three years old because you're turning thirty two, but you literally look twenty three years old, fantastic, and you're fifty two and you literally look seventy two. Fuck you, asshole. I was trying to be complex. I was trying to compliment you. You fun because you got I said, I was trying to compliment you. You man start laughing after Erica Jane's fucking thing. I don't know. I don't know what was so funny about that. I know you could go fund yourself, man, because I was trying to come funk you too. Man, fucking got me. You got my feelings hurt from that. What can I do for you? She's gonna check up for you. She'll check on me in forty years, believe me. Okay, eight, she's gonna be like, can you set me up with that fucking guy who's shriveled up and hopefully as money. And he said, I don't know, don't know what to tell you, man, she checked up for you. Now that's the fucking burst my bubble for my boxing class tonight. I want to go in there with some fucking you know energy. In your boxing classes, the teacher of the boxing class, do they ever hold the mits up and you individually hit the mits? I've never done it at this gym. I've only done one class at Rumble and it was pitch black and I didn't know what the funk I was doing. They had techno music on. It was pitch black. Everyone has a bag in front of them and she's like she's like do this, do this, do this, and then all the lights go off and you're supposed to just like know how to do it. I'm like, yeah, I don't don't that that. My My wife took me to one of those ones and she was like. It was Solud and she's like, no, do this. My wife is telling me this. We well the trainers give me and I'm like, I've never been here before. But there's no pre class, there's no you know, we'll talk about it just for two or three minutes before we shut the lights and turn on this awful music. Awful music. We when I see you, when you're back in l A. When I go back out there, we're on the road again. We have to start doing some like classes, some gym whatever, I'm gonna try, and because I need to get my lung game up. That's when you're doing your boxing class afterwards. This is a good question in regards to that battery. Um, do you how does that battery feel like after you get over the tiredness? Do you get those endorphins? Is it endorphins finds? I don't fucking no, man, everyone talks about these endorphins. I go home. I ripped them. Endorphins. No, not in not in orphans, not endoor fiends, endorphins like like dolphins, like a fin in door feeds. Endorphins. You don't know how to fucking listen. The door fits. I just said it, endorphins, the door fiends. You're saying the door finds. That's right, and door fins. There you go, brother, good ship, So you get those after the class? I get him like, oh, I'm kind of hopped up right now, but like I'm I'm ready to go home and smoke. That's like where the endorphments come. Like I can't wait to get home and smoke. It's not like I'm ready to take on the day. You know what I mean? Do you smoke before your classes? And that's the thing I like some people do that, you know, Durant listen Durant Is on. I didn't see it yet. I'm not watching. Who could care less, But there's the new durant is um out in the open talking about how much he smokes weed. I saw that. I saw that. I mean, good, you know, good for him. He should he should talk. No, but these athletes, the pro athletes, you know, they smoke weed before NBA games. I don't know how to. I was like, I didn't even want to smoke before this podcast. That's fat. Yeah, that's that's craziness to me. I mean, but regular Joe Schmos like they'll they'll smoke weed before they work up. But I don't understand that. I don't either. I'm just it's too awkward for me. I feel like everyone knows him high. I'm not giving my all, like, but I have to say, it's two twenty my time right now. I have a class at five thirty, and it is I'm such a fucking addict with weed that it's it's really hard for me not to smoke right now. Like I'm really struggling not to just hit the blong and go later because I know if I do, it's it's just gonna funk me up. And it's yeah, so you know that if you smoke the weed now, you won't go to the class most likely. Most likely I won't. And but are you smoking and an indocor sativa? I'm smoking an indicavia. I don't know how much that you know, but indica is no I know when when when I was smoking, I could tell the difference because indecas are up. No way incas down in because they're down. I don't. I feel like if you smoked a sativa during the day before your your class, you might get in on some motherfucking ivan drago ship. Maybe that's that's a good point. I see. I don't use weed for that type of sh I'll drink like a Celsius drink. It's called selsie. It's like an energy drink and a cany wow, look at you Celsius drinks, blenders, smoothies, infused water. If you are you bro, Thank you bro. If you drink that fucking half a can of that energy drink of Celsius, that will get you fucking jacked. Is it caffeine? It's got it. Yeah, it has to be. It's got to be some ship in there. It's you can't funk with that ship. Yeah, it's it's good that you're not doing that. So when's the next stand up gig? When were we going next? Okay, well that's the thing. The next stand up gig is June tenth, June eleventh in Virginia Beach. June tenth, eleventh, Virginia Beach. After that is June sixteenth, June seventeenth, June eighth, San Antonio. Okay, so we got Virginia Beach in June. We got San Antonio in June. All tickets, all information is available at Michael rappaport Comedy dot com. Every show that I go to, i'd say at least five people either DM me or when they see me in personal they go, where's the shooter. I don't like disappointing the fans because you've told people you're gonna go to this fucking town, that town. If you don't show up, and you know, people should start instead of saying where's the shooter, they should be like, fun the shooter. No, dude, I should write that to my gratitude journal. I'm so grateful that people are even asking about me, that even known. You say, you got recognized by people at your your hype festival and what was it called the Happy Day Festival? Just just like having festival. I was literally walking from the bathroom to go meet meet up with my friends again, and some guy came over to me said, dude, that band Block Party, They're one of my favorite bands. They were so bad. I it really ruined my day. But the shooter running into you, you just made you made up for all that. I'm having such a great time. Now, can we take a picture. I love the podcast, and I told you because I'm I'm always just like stunned that people even recognize me from this podcast, and I'm that put that on your journal. Put that in your gratitude journal, motherfucker, It's already in my gratitude journal. Bro, you wrote it in there already, or you had already put it in your gratitude journal. Well I'm going to put it in there. I'm just saying, like it's already done. You know, like going there. So the point is is that Virginia Beach is only two days san Antonio's three days. San Antonio is not all the way across the country. Don't commit right now because I'm going to Cabo with my family June six to the eleventh. We have we're getting a house on the beach in Cabo six to the eleventh. You're welcome to come visit to Like if for whatever reason the shows you get out, I could come to Cabo.

You You and keep I think they even mentioned you and you and keep you welcome to come. But you say, oh, me and Keepy we can go. But then you kind of just throw it out there. Now, why will you formally tell me so I can possibly plan because I'm not sure you. I know your mother, Yeah, I know your father, your siblings, they would be so happy with me and keep being there. But I feel like you you'd be like, no, you know what, Mom, don't invite him because if there is a if there is an offend chance that he comes, that's gonna ruin it for me. That's funny, man, I don't know, it's like man, Yeah, that that was a kind of a similar conversation I had to her. It's not those weren't the exact words. But I'm always happy to have your lovely wife with us wherever we go. But you know, it's just coughing and and just you don't know how to use utensils for some reason, like your mother never taught you like, Um, it wasn't her fault. My father. I wasn't raised correctly. No, you're you're like and and my parents did a lot of good things for me. When you say you weren't raised correctly, it sounds like you're shooting on your parents. They did wonderful, wonderful, wonderful things. I believe my brother picked up some of the skills that I didn't pick up. It could have just been me being able to download and process the skills. But I'm out here, I'm okay. Hold on Siren, Siren, New York. Yea yea. Anyway, I'll check my schedule about coming with you, Tokabo. Yeah, yeah, we'll touch base. Thanks for bringing it up.
