You're listening to Melissa Gorga on display with me, Melissa Gorga on podcast one. I don't need you to pull the mask down. And you're like, you're gonna hurt. Like, my no, I don't want you're gonna break my fucking nose at that stinky breath. Oh my God, Jesus Christ. My God.

Yeah. my like. All right, everybody, I am super excited for my next guest. I mean, he is an actor who is work with so many stars, Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt. He also played Gary Phoebe's boyfriend on the hit show Friends. and your bullet, Brad Pitt. He also played Gary Phoebe's boyfriend on the hit show Friends.

He's a comedian who just launched his own new comedy tour. He's a podcast host. He's a devoted fan, guys, of the Real Housewives franchise. I mean, a devoted friend. You have to know that I am talking about Mr. Michael Rappaport.

What's up, Michael? How are you? Good. I'm good. How you doing, Melissa? I'm good. I always love seeing you. You know, you and I were on, uh, watch what happens live together. So I think it was like in 2016. It was a while ago. We need to do it again anytime, any place. We were. You're like one of my favorite people too. You know what it is about you. I love how you just freaking say it You like your Instagram is so extra which is your energy like if anyone's if you're bored if you have no energy Just like go to Michael's Instagram. You have energy. You're always doing something

You're always like in your podcast too. You're just very outspoken. And I feel like it's crazy because you're in the celebrity world big time. I mean, listen, you've acted with big movies, big actors, you've been on big shows, right? And you still hold your voice, which I appreciate. You don't back it up because you're a celebrity or because you worry about what everyone's going to think out there in the entertainment world. And I appreciate that from you. I really do. Thank you, thank you. I try not to, you know, I try to be myself for better, for worse, you know, when I started as an actor and having success, I always, you know, just made a promise to myself that I would try to remain who I am. For better, for worse, I probably, you know, just made a promise to myself

that I would try to remain who I am. For better or for worse, I probably, you know, could have been a little bit more politically correct or, you know, tried to sort of be a little bit more mysterious, but that's just not who I am. And I think it would come off ridiculous. And, you know, I'm happy with, you know, all the things I've gotten to do. I'm

happy with, you know, the fact that I've been able to, you know, remain myself and especially in the last, you know, few years with things have been really crazy, you know, and speak out and, you know, and, you know, just just be honest and sort of say

things that sometimes other people won't say and can't say or don't have the platform to say. Right, I mean, listen, my podcast is known to be very unfiltered and you're an extremely unfiltered person. So I thought, who can be a better guest than you? Because you really do just put it all out there. I mean, have, has there been things that you have said or opinions that you gave that you're like shit?

I think I took that one a little too far or I pissed someone off that I really didn't want to piss off. Um, there's been tweets, you know, when I've done the videos like when I talk, uh, I could curse, right? Yes, of course. So when I talk shit on the videos, I've always been pretty much on point because you could get the inflections and the tone and the sarcasm. I've tweeted things that I feel like have been misconstrued, but nothing ever major or real serious or like a,

but if I say things that I, if I've tweeted things that I've miscut you, I don't believe in some people say, I don't apologize and I stick to, I believe in articulating yourself in apologizing and also you can change opinions and all that stuff. So I'm not one of these people. Also, I know that I could be heavy footed

and heavy handed with my words. So I say something that I feel like may have gone too far or taken out of context or just, I didn't articulate myself properly, I'll explain it. I have no problem doing that too, because I know I talk a lot of shit. But for the most part, I've done pretty well with it.

Well, I think that what makes you likeable is the fact that you speak your mind and that if sometimes it comes out wrong or you're like, you'll apologize and a certain aspect of it. And you're just, I don't know, I love everything that you say. I think you're interesting.

I think that's why, listen, not only have you been in movies and done all this stuff, but you are called upon when a host is out, it's like call Michael Rapoport. There's a reason everybody wants you because you're good at that. You're good at questioning. You're good at

asking the hard stuff and bringing up the controversial issues. I feel like you host. You jump in and host for when you Williams and Andrew Cohen and a bunch of people. How did that happen for you? That you ended up being this great host. It just happened when they started having guest hosts for a general amount of sports shows.

You know, they know that I'm not afraid to speak my mind. Obviously, I'm comfortable in front of a camera. And I'm passionate and I definitely have a point of view whether it's sports, whether it's pop culture stuff. Obviously with you guys, with the housewives, every city, every genre, every franchise, every single one of you, and then the Wendy stuff, you know, they've had me do it a lot.

I love doing it. It's always so much fun. It's exciting. I mean, there's nothing like, you know, doing live TV. I mean, for me, you know, when they asked me to guest host Wendy, you know, the idea of me being on a live television show is so far out and so not anything that it just never anything that I ever even crossed my mind. Like, you know, it's not like, say, oh, it was on my bucket list. It was never on my list of things. So doing it, it's just so much fun. And I like gossip

and pop culture and I love reality shows. And I have opinions about it and I get it. And I also get, I appreciate it. I was telling my wife, I was like, I'm doing your podcast. And doing your podcast. And she was excited and I was like, how could I ever not do a Gorgas fucking podcast? And a Gorgas. Gorgas I've met, Gorgas that aren't in your family, because you guys, you and Joe and your entire family have given me so much joy,

week after week, year after year. And I mean, Jersey is such a, the real house where I was in New Jersey is such a part of like, it's like comfort food for me. Like you guys deliver every single time, every time. You know, other shows, you know, they could really be kick ass and then they could get born. But just, you know, you guys are just so funny

and so passionate and it's so deeply intertwined in the family and just to see you guys grow, you know, like to see you grow and like, you know, to see your family's grow. And you know, obviously, you know, with the kids and, you know, the stuff in Teresa and just to see your relationship and, you know, with the kids and, you know, the stuff in Theresa and just to see your relationship and, you know, you know, Joe and Theresa, it's just, I just, I mean, listen.

There's a lot of content there. Jersey always comes through. I would say Jersey, and it's so passionate, right? And it comes through. And you're also very, all very funny, but you're like a fucking, you're like Thanksgiving dinner, like, but every, every week. I a fucking, you're like Thanksgiving dinner, but every week, I don't care if it's on in the summer, I don't care if it's on in the spring. When you sit down and watch, I don't care if it's on a Tuesday or Wednesday, a Thursday,

a Monday, New Jersey, I was like, fucking Thanksgiving dinner and a good Thanksgiving dinner every time. I love it. I love it. Wait, are we, would you, and I take no offense, I take no offense to this. Would you say that were your favorite franchise? Or do you have a favorite? Like what is your favorite that you really, at first?

I have to say Jersey, because. Yeah. I have to say Jersey, because first of all, you know, I could say New York, but New York has changed so drastically. You know, the big three on New York, but New York has changed so drastically. You know, the big three on New York, you know, Sonya Morgan, the great Sonya Morgan. Yes.

Obviously the Countess, Lwanda and Lissaps, who I say are named incorrectly, and the fantastic Ramona singer, those are the big three of New York. But, you know, the show has changed, and who knows what's gonna happen, but Jersey every single year. And also, you know, it partially is because you know, I'm a New Yorker.

So the way you guys speak and the way you guys, you know, sound like it's familiar and very comfortable for me. So I mean, you could ask me whatever you want, but you know, at some point, I'm gonna start, I have to ask you Jersey questions. So, but I'll work. Yes some point, I'm going to start asking you Jersey questions. But I want you to be the lead. I want you to be the lead. Oh, no, I'm going to let you. I'm going to allow you to ask me some questions as well, because I know that all my listeners are going to want to hear what you have to say.

And they also want your opinion, by the way, on the show, they want to know you're obviously watching the season. I'm assuming as well, right? I'm watching episodes this. I watch last week's episode twice. Sometimes we just run it back. Yeah. Does your wife watch this with you?

I need to know. Do you guys watch together? Or is this something you do in your own time? You know, we definitely watch it together. She got me into it because the way I fell into the housewives, I can't remember how many years ago this was, but the, I would be on a Sunday. I can't remember it was your show or New York, but like every Sunday or Monday with football,

or Thursday, like, you know, she would be watching shows and I'd be downstairs watching football. One day I came upstairs and I had a bad day of fantasy football, everything, all my teams lost. And she was like, nope, nope, I'm not changing to China. I go, I don't want to watch football anymore. I'll watch whatever you're watching.

And I just just started watching with an open mind. And I was like, who's this? What's this person? What are they talking about? Oh, this is funny. And then once I just gave it like a little bit of open mind done, done in. And I always say that some people, especially like straight dudes,

they'll be like, well, you watch it shit, you're funny. And I'm like, you're doing yourself a disservice. Like, you're missing out by not watching. So you could judge without seeing it, but basically you're, you're losing. I'm winning by watching. You're winning, baby. You are winning 100% wait, let me just tell you this too. Joe and I, whenever you're on watch, what happens live,

which I feel like they just govern you. Like, so you're on watch, what happens? Like maybe every six weeks, we got to throw Michael rap a port in, right? Or wrong. I mean, you're probably their number one, like repeated guest. I'm sure because you're such an opinionated guy on the house.

Wise and people love that we have like this straight man's view on the house. It's amazing, to be honest. So Joe and I, whenever you are and watch what happens, we watch, especially when it's coming off of one of our shows, right? Because we wanna know what you're gonna say and like your opinion, because it's like,

yeah, everybody else is a penny matters, but we really wanna see what Michael has to say. So it's so funny, we watch it every time you're on and we are, I'm gonna just tell you blown away, but you know what we said, how we said it, where the scene took place, how long the scene was. I was like, what the fuck this guy knows, everything. Like it's crazy, it's crazy.

I love you guys and I love doing what's what happens. I have it's fun. That's another thing that just happened, you know, you say how to, you know, these things happen. It just happened organically. I think I tweeted something about the housewives. And the viewers loved you.

It's like Chrissy Tegan. She knows she's watching every episode. She's tweeting. She's telling us her opinions. In real time, I don't fuck around with, if I DVR an episode, and I don't watch around with D if I D. The R an episode. And I don't watch it in the day of it's because something major is going on or like, you know, like I sprayed my ankle. There's a communion.

There's a. Something. But I watch real real time. I watch it real time. I got to wait like, oh, because the show comes on now Wednesday, right? The show's Wednesday. Yeah. No Tuesday. I think we're on Tuesday nights. Yeah. We're on Tuesday night. I think we've seen Tuesday. But, but, you know, like, I don't like, oh, it's on Tuesday. I'll watch it

Friday. That doesn't happen. Like it's real time. And, and I'm, it's happening, you know, uh, listen, I appreciate it. I appreciate the fan that you are of the show. Have you heard of the lady bag?

you can't just tell Andy Cohen these things. What are you thinking watching this season with with the Margaret and Teresa drama, the Louis drama, the Melissa Gorgas, not a bridesmaid. Give me your

thoughts. Okay. I'll go all over the place. First wall, Teresa's daughter, Melania. Got it. She's scary. Why? She's a mini-may. She's trees as many. Why is she tall? Wait, no, you're talking about Gia. I think Gia, sorry. Gia, the oldest one. Yes. First of all, Gia. So yeah, not Malanya. Gia. First of all, Gia is like, she's

like Teresa's henchman. Not that Teresa needs a henchman, but the way she backs her up and the way she came at your husband, like that was a great, you know, that was a great storyline and I think it continues to unfold because it made me sad because I know that their intentions are both the same and the loss of his parents and her grandparents and

and your family, you know, affects everybody. I hate it seeing that, but I just think she, you know, like just to watch her grow up, you know, not that I mean, I will say, I don't need another flashback up to Reese's house, like all we're leaving the house. I've seen just one too many flat, okay, we know the leaving the house. We don't need another montage. But she has been great. The more great. The G a thing. Let me just touch

on that for a second. Really hard for Joe. Really hard. I'm sure. Really hard for him watching that. He loves her from when she's a little girl. So I can tell he truly takes a hit on his insides. Wait, you know what? You got to tell him and I'm sure you have. He's just got to take that. She could say whatever she wants. She could be wrong. It's not his sister. She's a little girl,

a young lady now. Right. He's got to just take it and just take it. And he does. He does. He does. He just gets so upset if like, you know, the way they speak, you know, I think is what it throws him for a loop. He's like, what? Like, is he feels like he's always been there? He's always, you know, so that's always a touch. Yeah, tough. But, you know, the Margaret stuff with Teresa, the Margaret stuff, I mean, Margaret's been fantastic. You know, I mean, specifically, like, I mean, the Louis stuff, I mean Margaret's been fantastic. I mean specifically, like, I mean, the Louis stuff. What are you feeling? Are you thinking, are you thinking Margaret's

asking too many questions? Are you thinking Teresa just be answering these questions and not freaking out so much? Like what was your thought on, did you just see the whole thing where Teresa threw everything on Margaret? We were in Nashville. Are you watching this?

You know, you never have to ask me that. I can't believe this. Okay, just there last week. Okay. So you saw what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts? So at the record, I'm just saying this to the fans because I know this is airing afterwards. So obviously I did not see part two yet. Okay.

But Teresa getting so angry, obviously it brings back good slash bad memories of the infamous table flip. Right. Okay, we also don't want to, you know, any probation officers coming out of the blue, you know, for any bottles, we don't want any glass hitting anybody. I don't like violence. I never support the violence. Listen, it's a reality show. Theresa knows better than anybody that you bring a new guy in. There was the video, which I didn't think there was anything wrong with the video.

I know it was like a self-help place, whether or not some people would say they'd go to that, whether they would not, wouldn't go to that. I have no problem with that. Right. I would think it was weird if they were naked, but I feel like they were naked. They had all bathing suits and they just didn't have a lot of sunblock on it.

I felt like there was a lot of skin issues that could have happened because whether in a cell phone place or not, I think you need some block because Louis was like, really like, yeah. So I didn't think the video was as weird as anybody else. So if they had clothes, can we verify whether or not they have clothes on? Yes, I believe they have clothes on.

They have clothes on. Listen, I thought the video was funny. If you ask me, it's like, these are my brothers. I'm coming home. Like it was the tone. I'm like, this is funny. Listen, we all did some crazy shit with an X, right? Like I've even said, I don't say it as much in front of Joe,

but like I've hung on car windows before as they're pulling away because I'm a savage. Like we've all done crazy things for our X's and we're stupid. So like I don't hold against him that he has a past. What I thought was bad was that they were just covering it so much. I'm like, just talk about it. And then nobody, it'll just move forward. Do you know what I mean? I think it was the covering of it all that made it even heightened and made it worse.

As of today, Melissa, don't bullshit me. Give it to me straight, or I'll get Joe in here to give it to me straight. As of today, again, this is, you know, you guys have shot. I don't know. Did you do the reunion yet? Yes. Oh my god. Wait till you see that. Michael. What waits until you

see, and I'm not playing. Wait till you see the reunion. Shopping. Let me stay focused here. Okay. As of today, what what is the status of Teresa, Louis? What is the status? What is your take on Louis? Because I've been team Louis.

I went public with team Louis. I was hosting the Wendy Williams show. I felt like maybe some of the people were hating because he looks like a young Richard Greco. Uh, but I can't tell like what the deal is with Louis. What is the deal with Louis? All the rumors, all this stuff. Right. What's the story with Louis?

I'm listen, I'm also team Louis. What's the story with Louie? I'm also team Louie. I want her to be happy. I want her to find that happy. And because listen, there's no other. There's no way a family around. It's just Joe. So if you ask me, I want Louie to

be. I everything he says he is. And it seems so far to have a conversation with him. He's great. He's great Michael. He seems like he's saying all she's madly in love. They seem like they are really

into each other. They're going to get married this summer. And there's going to be a happily ever after for Teresa. And listen, that's what we all want for her and for the girls. Right. I mean, there's no one out here saying, oh, we hope this guy turns into a scumbag. Nobody wants that. You know, I agree.

I agree. Well, how frustrating is it at times to see your husband and Teresa argue sometimes where it's like sometimes, like, you know, they love each other, but I feel like sometimes the two of them, they just miss each other. Like, they miss each other. And they're so close, but I'm like,

how frustrating is it and this is just what we see them sort of like, you know with Teresa, which seems place now, but like how f to see those two go at it frustrating for me because and I say all roads always

so it's so crazy. It could have nothing. And I mean zero to do with me. And you will see that on this upcoming episode that's going to air this week. Somehow it's like, Melissa, and I'm like, what the fuck? What do I have to do with this? No matter what it's because she truly doesn't want to argue with her brother. She hates that the two of them argue. She needs to blame that on someone, and she doesn't want to blame it on him, and there's no one else to blame it on. So it sucks for me a lot of the time because no matter what all roads lead to Melissa, and I'm like, I have nothing zero to do with this. And somehow my name gets called out all the time.

And not just with Joe, it could be between her and Margaret. She can have a full-blown argument between her and Margaret. And she's like, my life's so I'm fucking peeing in the other room. I got nothing to do with this. You know? You said the other day, it's part one of the national thing. You're like, I gotta leave because if I don't leave with her, like I thought that was so indicative of your

relationship, like, you can leave with it. No matter what, you could have been, stay, you could have been in the middle of anything, but you had to leave with her. Truth be told on this, I do often, and I think people know this as my personality. I do often do what the right thing would be to keep the family intact, to keep the holidays okay, to keep where I don't always feel like it's reciprocated. Let me be honest.

And I think there's, I don't think it's fair when someone's a little bit more, I don't always feel like it's reciprocated. Let me be honest. And I think there's, I don't think it's fair when someone's a little bit more, I don't, for lack of a better word, kindhearted, right? To not, for not to be reciprocated, because you know that I'm gonna give in or you know that I'm just gonna want peace or, you know, that's super frustrating for me. And one thing I'm gonna tell you as a fan of the show,

when you see this reunion, you're going to see the real truth. And I don't know if this is going to upset you or not when you watch it. You'll see the real truth of Teresa, my nature is his relationship because we, I say it. I say the exact, you'll know exactly where Teresa and I stand when you watch this reunion. And it's very real and it's very raw.

And it was just time for me to come out and tell Andy. And we told the real truth. So you watched that reunion and tell me how you feel after you see that. Oh, shit. OK. Yeah. Yeah.

And I'm not going to say it's negative or positive. It's just the truth of what we really are. Wow. OK. All right. Yeah. Yeah. So I think as a fan of the show,

you will be definitely intrigued. Do you think that Margaret goes a little too far with her questioning or digs too deep sometimes on the question she has for the cast? Or do you think it's necessary if being a housewife and she's doing her job? I feel like she's doing her job. Listen, the thing with Jennifer and Dr. Bill,

I do your thoughts on Jennifer. I want to hear this too. Well, well, you know, listen, Jennifer, I don't like, you know, like I have compassion for anybody with a family truly, truly, and the kids and all that stuff. But she's been talking a lot of shit to everybody since she got there. She's, you know, with you many times,

she was with you, you know, last season, the season before that, you know, when you guys were at the beach, you know, she was going home every season. Carbo, Carbo, and she, she, you know, accused Margaret of this and accused Margaret's mom of that. Yeah. And I felt like Margaret, she had to fucking drop the bomb on her to back up. Now, the ramifications you see here, you know, you feel bad because you, you know, I,

as much as I look at you guys as characters, there's certain, like, you understand, like, this is a real child, this is a real husband, this is a real relationship. Right. I feel like, unfortunately, and it's not like I don't love Jennifer, because she's been great. She's been a great addition to the show. You know, but the shit she's been saying, you know, with Margaret, you know, Margaret could have said, she could have said that back to her that time when, I don't remember where you guys were, but, you know, when she, she started saying, you know, with Margaret, you know, Margaret could have said, um, she could have said that back to her that time when I don't remember where you guys were, but, you know, when she, she started saying her mother was a teeter and, you know, she was, yes, we were in Cabo. We were in Cabo and Margaret knew the information that she had on bill way back then.

Right. And she did retaliate with it. All the way Jennifer really was going to lose it. And she felt bad and she took it back. But she knew back then the information she waited till now to say. So I don't know if Jennifer thought she's never going to do it or what or maybe she didn't think she knew or whatever. But unfortunately, when you play, if she brought it on herself, she brought it on herself.

And hopefully her and Dr. Bill come recovered because they have a beautiful family and their kids and all that stuff. You know, but this is this is the field. This is the playing field. Listen. This is the repercussions of listen. My biggest thing with Jennifer was always this. She was always coming for people and coming for the husbands, so to speak. And also when it came to Margaret, she was she was slut shaming her a lot of the time. She was making her feel that she, like, grew up in a slutty way or she wasn't acting right as a young girl and shaming her and the cheating thing and the way she met her husband. And the whole time all I could think about in the back of my head is like, wow, like that's pretty balzy if it's happening

right now currently in your home. Yeah. That's the subject you choose to go heavy on. You have to realize that's going to come. We all know I knew and cobble to we've all known that. That's not a secret around you. The very known fact from the day she got on the show. Jennifer is one of those people and listen,

her and I are good right now because I did feel bad. Like you say, this is real people, this is real marriages. Okay, so when all of the as much as her and I bashed head, bummed head, should I say, and don't get along, I did feel for her when this came out. I could see she was hurting and she didn't know how to handle it and it was hard for her. So we came back around, but yes, we've all known this and knowing that she was coming so hard. I mean, of course, someone's eventually going to be like, listen, listen, it's happening. So is Bill a bad person to then? Eventually, someone's going to say that, right? Because if Margaret is such a bad person, then Bill's got to be just as equally as bad.

And that makes sense, right? I totally agree. I totally agree. I don't like to see the guys fight. I don't like to see, you know, Evan, and you know, they threw Dr. Bill out and it looks like everything's okay now. Yes. Because the guys getting along, we need that. It's very fun. Especially my man, Frankie guns. Fucking like Frankie guns. He's so funny. You know, Frank Attania drinks those green apple martinis. And I just think it's the funniest shit.

And we truly went out to dinner together this past weekend just for a friend's birthday that his girlfriend actually, that you don't see much on the show. And girlfriend? Frank has a real girlfriend that he's been with for years, that we don't see on this show. She does not film.

But this Frank's girlfriend come over to Dolores's house? Not really. They're not like tight, tight, tight. No, I think they know each other. They're cordial, but no, she really doesn't. And I went out with him and his girlfriend for dinner this weekend. And he ordered a green apple martini. And I just think it's so funny to see this big guy with this green apple martini

I'm like I used to drink those when I was like out in the clubs like when I was at the sound factory in the 2000s I got like a green apple martini like it's so funny to see him What did you think of Tiki and Tracy on the show this year? Do you think that we're what are you feeling do you think they fit in? well listen Tracy you just got there. Now, listen, you got to swing because when you're, I do get that you can't just, you know, be the wall flower because, you know, what she's striving for is to try to get on the show. I get that. But it's also like, Teresa, like,

Teresa, you just got here five seconds ago and you're asking all these questions. So I'm always skeptical of new newbies, uh, uh, fresh meat, uh, new jacks on all the on all the shows. Some some have been great. Leah's first season excellent. Erica Jane, the great

Erica Jane, her first season of Beverly Hills. Fantastic. We have high, high, high standards to come up to. So I think she's been okay. I don't know if she brings enough to the table to actually be a friend. Obviously being a New York Giants fan, I have no problem with Tiki, but listen, if you're not bringing anything to the show, the scene inside the NFL. It's the real housewives of New Jersey. So I have a question mark on both of them. It's a TBD to be determined so far.

All right, and let me just give my input on that. I will say it is very hard to jump in and insert yourself into the drama without looking. It's hard because you're like, you realize you're trying to join a cast here, right? So you need to give your opinion, but at the same time, then someone will say, hey, shut the hell up. You just got here. So then you don't want to sit there and shut the hell up, right? And stand on the wall. It is a very

hard job to insert yourself into the real house. I was in New Jersey. I'm just going to say that right now, one of the hardest things to do is to cast our show because it's just so hard to get in and make it make sense. It's not easy. Right. And you guys knew each other before the show. I mean, thank God Tiki was there at the softball game and saved the fucking game. What an incredible catch. I say the entire game for the guys.

It's just great to be like on a field anywhere with Tiki Barber. I mean, he really is a great when it comes. It's like we're playing football, we're playing baseball. I don't care what we do with Tiki Barber. It's just feel even right in the damn bowl. It's like you want to beat Tiki Barbara right in the bowl, right? It's one of those things.

I mean, he is a legend in this sport. So it's pretty intriguing just to have him. I mean, they're actual friends of mine. They're very good friends of mine. And that's how she got onto the show. But I will say it's very, very hard to blend in with that. And Joe Lois Tiki, Joe Lois loves him. They drink together, they hang together. They really have like a great like bro vibe together.

They really do. I think Tiki fit in great with the guys. I think you really did. Yeah, he's chill. Tiki's chill and you know, the guys seem, you know, like it's an easier, it's an easier, you know, world to step into with the guys that it is with the girls because the girls ain't. Oh, yeah. That's tough.

That's tough sledding right there. But the guys, you know, if you're chill and you're cool, you know, uh, the guys you can hang out with. Yeah, especially if you're going to like jump in on the family drama, it's really when we look at you, like, like, you're crazy to even comment on it. You don't know us and like, and the people get very stressed out trying to like get in there with that, you know. Paying down debt can be stressful, especially when you need to keep track

All right, before we jump off housewives talk, what do you have any questions for me? Do you have anything you need to ask me? I'm going to let you ask me anything you want about the show. Wow, Shit. Man, that's something good. Well, let me just ask you, this is just a fun question. Who's the best cook out of all the cast

meets now out of all the women? I mean, I'm not just saying this, but honestly, it's it's I might say me and I'm not just I'm a very good cook. Teresa is a good cook too. But are you saying you're a better cook? Are you cool? Do you want to quote yourself to say I want you to say this? I'm a better fucking cook than Teresa Ju and I will ever be in life to say that.

I mean, listen, her mother, I will say this. Her mother taught us both how to cook equally. I know how to make every dish her mother can make. And so does equally. I know how to make every dish her mother can make. And so does she. The difference is it was a bigger,

so I really wanted to learn it. I really paid attention where for trees it's just she had it every day. So she would pay attention and knows how to do it. But like I put like exerting love into it when I do it. So it's top notch. It's like it might Joe will tell you when Melissa makes sauce, when Melissa makes her chicken, like it's to

the tea tastes like his mother made it. So I'm just gonna go out there and say, yes, I'll cook for you anytime. You're right over the bridge. Do you know that I would fucking die if if I came over there, you guys and you you would go, okay, we're we're gonna have you. All right, you and you would. You would. Okay. We're definitely going to have you. All right. You and your wife. I feel like in the matrix. I would be like in a re I would be tripping the fuck out. Me and my wife would literally like be like, what the fuck is going on here?

Yeah. Right. You know, you know what's going to happen now. We're definitely inviting you over. I'm making pasta and meatballs. Would you be happy? I'll stuff my face like the big. I am.

I love it. All right. I'm definitely, definitely, definitely inviting you over dinner. As soon as our new, we're building our new house, we'll be done in like by the summer. We'll be done. So is Joe building like what is Joe building the house? Yes. How has that been? How has it been?

It's been crazy. We, um, we designed the whole thing ourselves. We, I am picking out every single piece of, I just went to the fireplace store, I pick out every fireplace, I just picked out the toilet bowl flushers, what color they're going to be, every chandelier, like I literally am designing the whole entire house, Joe's building it over there with his men. It's very different than our other house, but it's just everything that I wanted. It's a little bit more modern. It's not as big.

The other one was like 15,000 square feet. So I was ridiculous. It was ridiculous. We didn't even use the whole left side. It was just silly. This is going to be more usable space. It's like, I mean, it's 7,000 square feet, but it's for us, that's downsizing,

because everyone's like, this is not downsizing. Like, yes, it is actually. It really is. And we're just in a part of town where we really wanted to be that it's just like, yeah, so we're super, I think people always get baffled. They think the show is like our whole world and like our whole work and where we get all our money from. And it's not that's like a side gig for us. Like the show is a side gig for us. I do so much with envy and so many of my businesses and Joe, I mean, he converts warehouses into condos and apartment, but we own apartment buildings

all over New Jersey. And it's so, yes, and it's so funny that everyone thinks like the show is where, what we're worth, you know what I mean? We're like, where we get our bread and butter from and the truth is Joe and I Neither of us were born with his over spoon in our mouths. I mean neither of us had rich parents. We both worked Everything came from the ground up. We worked together at his landscaping company. I mean he was a landscaper before he was anything and We built like this company in this life that we have and it's funny how people forget that or they don't realize that,

you know, we didn't just like snap our fingers and oh my god, we're right. We're rich. Like we worked really, really hard. We're really hard workers. And that is why Joe got so offensive with Jennifer when she said the word crook or got so insulted with Teresa, allowing her to say that and not making a big deal that her friends said that about our family because he knows more than anything. Teresa has watched him from a very young boy with immigrant parents work as asked off. So he took it very seriously that no one was backing him up to say, like, wow, she should not be allowed to say that. Intense anybody's opinion on his work ethic because he's such a hard one.

Yeah, he was so insulted. Jersey Italians, no one wants to hear that shit. Exactly. And she knew what she was doing when she said that. And we took it hard. And I think he really reacts to her like negatively. But it's because he that he took hard, you know, that sucked for him when she said that.

The other thing about reality TV is once it's out there, even if it's not true, you're still thinking it once somebody says that or writes that on the internet, you're still like, all right, it might not be true, but it still sits with you, which is the worst part about this. I mean, don't forget, like, we work with big companies loans for buildings because that's what we work with. Like we work with banks. So you have to, we have to keep it clean. Do you know what I mean? Everything. So, so that could hurt our business.

And that's where, that's where we start calling Andy Cohen. That's where we're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Like the main thing cannot be hurt or else we can't do the side piece, you know? I got you. I got you. So I think that's where people are very jaded. They don't realize that the show is our side piece.

You know, they think it's our whole life, which is like crazy. I got you. They think it's our whole life, which is like crazy. I got you. So anyway, wrapping up housewives, I know you're the man for that. You keep watching. I know you're going to go crazy. I'm serious. You're going to go crazy over the next two episodes in the reunion.

You're going to be like, wow, to death. All right. Talk to me about your comedy tour for a second. Where are you going to be? What are we? What is like the, do you have like a theme of this comedy tour? Is there a subject? I'm going to be all over the place. I'll be in DC, the 28th, 29th, and 30th of April. Then I'll be in, where am I after that? I'm in Pleasanton, California

outside of San Francisco. I'm in Ohio. I'm all over and all tickets, all information is available in Michael Rappaport comedy.com. You know as far as the show, you know, I talk about myself, I talk about, you know, who I am, I, you know, the good, bad, and a different. I talk about being married, I talk about being a parent, I talk about being a son to my father and, you know, and my parents, you know, I talk about being a son to my father and my parents. I talk a lot of shit. I talk cows wives, I talk reality TV because there's always a handful of people that show up obviously mostly women.

But sometimes it's guys too and they always ask me questions about how's wives and ask my opinions about stuff. I talk about pop culture but it's really just about myself. And I make fun of myself first because I talk a lot of shit about everybody else. But it's a good show. I'm having a fun time doing the show. And like I said, all tickets, all information is available. And Michael Rappaport comedy.com.

I'm coming to Jersey in the summer time. Wait, me and Joe want to come. I want to come. See this. No, one of them do not forget about me. What part of Jersey are you coming to? I'll tell you the name. Joe and I are coming. You know, Joe's doing comedy now. Do you hearing this? I know. I saw he sold out carolines. I know.

Which listen, it's a different kind of comedy than you do. I believe. Like listen, this was one of those things with Joe where I was like, okay, honey, you're the funny guy when we're out to dinner. You always talk about sex, right? You always talk about like the uncomfortable things. Couples love to go to dinner with me and Joe because we're the fun. We're fun. We work hard, play hard.

We have a couple cocktails. We talk about all the uncomfortable stuff. We talk about marriage. Like, so he's the funny guy, right? But I said, getting on a stage with like a script, right? And points and moving and transitions and whoa, like the second hand embarrassment that I would, like I, I don't want to say embarrassment,

but like the feelings that I feel when he's up there, I can't even go because I sweat like a pig, like I sweat. And I was he, how's he been doing? Has he been doing, has he continued to do it? Yeah, he's got, he's got like three shows in all when he left. And then he's like done with this round. And I think he's gonna take a minute because he did everything everywhere.

He's like gonna take a minute. He's got three shows left in like Upstate New York coming up in April. Yeah, the end of April. He loves it. He thinks it's funny. Obviously it's house-wise based as well and about our life and sex and religion.

He makes fun of the fact that I'm on Instagram while he's behind me. Like, you know, he tells all of the, I want to die the whole time that I'm watching it. But the fans love it. It's a fun night out for them, you know. It's hard. Like, did you laugh when you heard

that Joe was going to do comedy? Because you're a comedian. You know how hard this could be. I didn't laugh because I know he's got a, you know, funny personality. I know he's, he's, you know, he's comfortable and he's got such a good sense of humor. So I didn't laugh and I, you know, I want to see him do it.

You know, Joey, Joey G is my guy. I love Joey G. Yes. He would die to come see you. So wait, what part of New Jersey? You're gonna be. It's in, um, is it, is it, is it point pleasant? Is that a part of? Oh my God. It's down the Jersey. It's Uncle Vinnie's. It's in, um, is it, is it point pleasant? Is that

part of? Oh my god, it's down the Jersey shore. That might be when I come get food. Oh, my god. I'm sure. All right. So you're coming to our shore house after 100%. Oh, my god. It's right next to my shore house. Yeah. We're doing it in the summer. It's like, oh, my god, 100% we're coming to that. It's literally in the town next to my short house. So that's perfect. We are definitely, definitely gonna do that. Give me your take. I know that you're a comedian.

What were your feelings on the whole Will Smith, Chris Rock? Were you livid? Like what, what did you feel inside? I mean, Will Smith fucked up, you know, you know. You know, when it first sort of happened, I was like, I didn't really, I couldn't really, I was so surprised, especially because that had happened, that it happened at the Oscars, that it was Will Smith,

because when you think of like, people that you would think would fuck up like that, the last person you would ever think is Will Smith. And you've worked with him before on Fresh Prince Correct and other things. You know him personally and he's known to be the most loving, sweetest, nicest guy. Is this true? Yeah, absolutely. 100%. And you know, just to see him, you know, do that that was crazy.

And at the Oscars and the Oscars where he was sort of the front-runner to wind up to finally get an Oscar and on live TV. And it was just crazy. And Chris Rock obviously, when you look back at it and now we look back at it as Kazillion Times on video and memes, it's national news. He handled it so incredibly well, but he did damage to everything he's accomplished. And obviously you know, obviously, you know, things pass and time passes and,

you know, there's way worse things you could do, but the stink of it will remain on him for a long time. And the stink of it, unfortunately, will remain on Chris Rock for a long time, who had nothing you know, like when you see Chris Rock, when you think about Chris Rock in the time being, you know, when you see Chris Rock, when you think about Chris Rock, for the time being, you're just always going to be thinking about this. And he's just up there doing his thing. So I thought it was not good. You know, he was, you know, a new way for, you know, saying shoot yourself in the footest of Will Smithy's self.

So I mean, he fucked up. He fucked up. Right. No, and he's also, it was the night he was literally winning an Oscar. And he's one of the most loved. I feel like he's up there with like Tyler Perrys and like, oh, like very loved, very respected actor. So I think the world was just in shock over it and just still can't fathom the fact that that happened. When you're watching it, when it happened, I was. And I was very confused. At first, I was like, hold on, hold on.

Like was this, is this fake? But then I saw Chris's reaction. You know what the felt fake to me? The slap. It was a very, it was a very theatrical hit. And it had like an arm motion and his leg went back. It, that's what made me think like, oh, this is for the funny of it all, right?

This is gonna be funny. But then I was like, and then the way he walked back was very like, he was in a movie. But then I realized how the audience reacted and I was like, wow, that was real. That was crazy. Yeah, it was crazy. And Chris lives by me over here somewhere in New Jersey.

I believe he's over here. I've seen him at the mall a couple times. I have to like, he handled it amazing. But I wanted to hear it from you just because you are a comedian. And I know you had to have some type of opinion on that. And just, does Will Smith, is he able to come back from that? Like, can you survive that? He'll be able to come back.

It's gonna take, it's gonna take, it's gotta be thought out it's got to be thought out correctly. Like what? People would want to see him in next. I mean, people are going to want to see him and stuff. But does he start like it's

going to I don't I don't have the answer because we need to help us this for that one. He dug himself in a hole. And like I said, people have done way worse things and eventually he'll be fine, but the stink of it and the sort of stigma of it and the weirdness of it, you know,

it was such a weird thing for him to do. It looked like he was personally, I felt that he might be personally just hitting his limit with like a bunch of things maybe and he seems stressed out. I mean, not knowing the guy. I know it's judging him a little bit. But to me, it seemed like he just needs to let something out.

I don't know personally. Yeah, I agree. But either way, I know that Hollywood can be a little crazy. You've been in so many movies. Have you ever butted head with anyone on set? Like have you ever had a moment on set where you really just buted heads with someone? I've never had, I mean, you know,

when you're working with any kind of job, you have your days and you have your moments where you, you know, but I've never had like, where I would single somebody on me, like this guy's a piece of shit. He was a piece of shit every day and it'll continue to be a piece of shit because he's just an overall pile of big shit.

You know, I've had days where I was asked, so I've had days where I've worked with people that you know could be you know something but for the most part you know, you know, you go to whether they're making a TV show or a movie, you know, most people are there just to to do their thing to try to do as best they can, and to get out of there. You know, there's not, you know, and I don't think in life, you know, especially, you know, actors who are so fortunate, you know, you gotta be a real fucking asshole to just be consistently not fun to be around every single day.

If you're making the living and doing the lifestyle of any sort of actor. It's such a hard thing to be a part of. And it's such a hard thing to have an accomplished career that if you are walking around just being a dick. Something's really wrong with you because we're very lucky, you know, to do it. Agreed. Agreed. Okay, I just want to go way back for one second. Just a girl, just fulfill my dreams.

I know that you were once in a movie with Brad Pitt called True Romance. Give me something about him. What is it like working with Brad Pitt? Just tell me anything about this man. Brad Pitt looks like Brad Pitt in real life. He does. He does. He just looks just like that. So when you see Brad Pitt, you're like, oh, shit, like, yo, you're Brad Pitt. Like, you're pretty good looking guy. You know, he's got the joys, got the nose and the eyes like, you know, and but the one thing that I'll say about him is that he's

couldn't be sort of nicer. He's a nice Midwestern, you know, dude, you know, he's chill. He's very comfortable with who he is. He's comfortable with what he's accomplished. He's comfortable with the adulation. He doesn't think he's hot shit. He's like chill, you know, and he's a good person. Does he know? Does he know how pretty he is? Like, can you feel that he knows it? I don't think that he doesn't know it, but I don't think that he thinks that he's like cool or cool or cool. Right. You know, I mean, listen, if you're walking around looking like Brad Pitt and people are fucking dropping left and right, fainting, I think you got to catch on to something,

but he's just a cool dude that he's chill. Nice. Hey, everyone. This is Heather DeBro and do I have some exciting news for you?

Probably the biggest regret that I ever had is not buying more real estate in New York City when it was cheaper. Wow. That's probably one thing that I come back to. Like that hits home for me big time. I can see regretting that 100%. That's a thing. like that hits home for me big time. I can see regretting that 100%. That's a thing. I had a couple of opportunities, but I was just not as,

I was too young to understand how important it and how, and how much of a good, it was a good thing, it was a good thing. Real estate keeps you going for life, right? It's like that endless rent, that endless money. I got you. It sound like if we talk to Joe about this, we can go all day.

Okay, what is the best decision you have ever made? I got you. It sounds like if we talk to Joe about this, we can go all day. Okay. What is the best decision you have ever made? The best decision I ever made was to marry my wife. Oh, I'm going to meet this woman, this beautiful woman that made you watch my show. What is your pet peeve? What's my pet peeve? What's my pet peeve? I can't stand. I can't give you just one pet peeve. I have, like, I have a list of pet peeves,

but I probably say my biggest pet peeve is breath. I don't like bad breath. I don't like if I have bad breath, I insist that someone tells me, you know, I do not like people breathing shit breath in my face. One of the bad things, you know, there's been plenty of bad things with COVID,

but one of the, you know, the unspoken things about COVID is mask breath. So your breath smells like shit, and then you take your mask down, your mask down, and then you're breathing your shit mask, unfiltered breath in my I had a woman in an elevator the other day. It might have been the worst breath I've ever spelled like I swear. Like knock you out. Like it left scarred my nose like. Fucking breath is so and you're

talking it's in an elevator to confine space and keep that fucking mask on. I could smell through the mask. I don't need you to pull the mask down. And you're like, you're gonna hurt. Like my no, I don't, you're gonna break my fucking nose at that stinky breath. Oh my God, Jesus Christ, my God. Yeah. All right, guys, put a mint in whenever you're being interviewed with Michael.

Don't people mint you. Some people you need to bleach your shit. You need to do some. Yes, well, people don't realize you have to floss. The dentist says, if you don't floss, that's a major problem. I think people skip flossing. That's the

biggest problem. So there's a me and Michael are going to give you all a tip today. Floss your teeth. Because floss your teeth because your breath smells like alligator shit. And because you notice when you floss, that's when all like the,

like you know, like the school teacher breath, like the history teacher, like the old history teacher breath. Yes, yes. Like the librarian breath. That's all the librarianship comes out of your mouth when you floss. So, okay, so we need, yes.

So that's our tip for you guys today. Pay attention. Give me the worst date you've ever had. Obviously, it's going to be before your wife or you might have taken your wife out on a couple of bad dates, but if you remember any bad date, the worst date you've ever had. The worst date I've ever had. And that's, I don't have anything great. I don't have anything great for you. I don't think I've had anything. Well, once in the last time you. I don't think I've had anything.

Well, once in a last time you dated. It's been a while, but I mean. I mean, no one's ever come up and was. Which one? Is that your wife? Yeah, she. Yeah, I want to say that. You know, say it, say it.

It's not appropriate. All right, fine. I never thought you'd not be appropriate, but fine. OK, you know, it's about a woman. It's not appropriate. It's all right fine. I never so not be appropriate, but fine. Okay. It's about a woman. It's it's not appropriate. Oh, yeah. I love that your wife is like say it. She's telling me to say, I'm not saying it. She wants it. She wants to say, screw that woman. Talk bad at Teller. Tell us about her. Trust me. It's not good. Oh, it's a celebrity. Just tell me that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. OK, OK, OK.

Have you ever dated a celebrity? Have you ever dated another celebrity for you got married? Not nothing. Nothing right home about. When I was younger, that's one thing that this not a regret regret. But there were some opportunities that I had.

You know, when I look back, I go, I could have with this one in that part. I was like, you know, like to like street, like I was like, well, fuck that, you know, you don't have to be actors to fuck that shit. But when I look back, I go, I would have been kind of like, you know, a couple of notches in your belt, like Joey, Jim, and been like, oh, yeah, you should have, you should have took that one, bro. Exactly. All right, tell me what was the first concert you've ever been to? Exactly. All right, tell me what was the first concert

you've ever been to? Steve, you wonder. And radio city musicals. I just called, oh my god, die for him, best thing ever. Wish I saw him live. Something about you, I feel like we know everything about you, but give me one thing about you that would surprise us.

Is there anything we just don't know about you? One thing about me that would surprise people, for some reason people are always surprised how organized One thing about me that would surprise people, for some reason people are always surprised how organized and clean my home is and organized and clean. I am now my, I'm a clean person. I'm not like a neat freak. My wife is a neat freak, but when people come into my home,

even outside of my wife, because she's nuts with it. Like people are always like, I'm like they expect it like to be a zoo or something. I don't know why they think my old would be a zoo. And it's neat and clean and organized. I'm neat and clean. Like I keep an organized desk, I keep an organized workspace.

Like like my shit's like, you know, I keep it. You keep your shit tight. I like that. That's good. I think that's surprising. Okay. They think you can be always the police. I know. I just know why people think it's going to be like Oscar Madison when they come into my house. I'm not, you know, that's not my thing. Tell me your

favorite late night snack. What are you eating on the couch while you're watching Housewives? Well, what I'm eating on the, well, what I'm wishing I'm eating watching Housewives is a pint of ice cream. Same. Okay. But what are you eating? Yeah, because you can't do the pint of ice cream. It's every night. You can't. The Hagen Das, the fucking little small Hagen Das. Oh, small. What do you talk about? You know, the pines, the pines is fine. Okay. I think you talk about the little kids one. No, I'm talking about the, but it would probably be like,

you know, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip cookies and ice cream on my thing, but the ice cream, it's a rare treat, chocolate chip cookies I dip into. And if I could have like chocolate chip cookies and watch the house where I just. It's a good night. It's a good night. Who needs sex? Nobody. Because that's like, you know, yeah, so that would say that.

All right. What was your first job you ever had first job? My first job was working in a cookie place. I don't think they have these anymore, but it was a cookie place called David's cookies. There used to be like a little credit. They have David cookies. Yes. Yeah. So that was my first job. Okay. I this might be a stupid question, but what's your favorite TV show to binge watch? I mean, besides housewives, give me, we know, we know how to give me something besides housewives that you are watching. My favorite TV show to binge watch right now is the the Hulu show to drop out about the Theranos girl who sold that I really like. Oh, I need something new to watch. Is that good?

It's good. It's good. That I really like and the dropout. Okay. I'm watching winning time on HBO, the Lakers, about the Lakers and the boss of Celtics that I'm watching that. And, you know, I'm not bullshit, you Melissa, you know, the majority like my, you know, 90 day fiance. Oh my God, you and my mother, she can recite every episode, Donna Marco. Oh my God, that is so funny. Everyone loves that show. It's funny. Maybe the fiance is good television. I can't handle it. That's a good show. That's a very

good program. Okay. All right. And I always end with if it's all about you today and Michael Rappaport was going to treat himself, what do you do? What is your day like if it's all about you and it's your best day ever? Good question. If it's all about me, I don't want to say best day ever, but if it's all about me today, I would have a sushi lunch. I would get up early. I would work out. I would have, I'm not drinking coffee now. I would have a fantastic. I didn't know a lot say this is if it's all about me perfect world. Okay, then I would take a fantastic conch shower. Then I would get a massage. Then I would have a sushi lunch. Then I would go by myself like a cashmere sweater because I'm the king of cashmere.

I don't know if you know this. I did not know this. And I would get myself like a dope pair of Jordan's, because I love Jordan's. And then for dinner, although I've had sushi for lunch, I'd probably like get it like a steak dinner, like a steak dinner with like maybe like, you know, like some, like, you know, like, but there would be like some shrimp cocktail

and some more crap, so it's a lot of fish. I'm gonna vomit at some point during this day. Afterward, you are such a afterward. You are such a guy. You're such a guy. Love it. Afterwards, I'm, I'm doing this with my wife, the dinner part to my wife. Okay, she's allowed to come to the dinner part. Got it. Okay.

Because she doesn't want to be with me the whole day. Well, I'm stuffing my face with the sushi and all that stuff. She could come after lunch. Okay, we're shopping and obviously, it does make me more happy for myself. What are you drinking at this dinner? What is your drink of choice? Like what do you order with your cocktail?

It would be red wine with the steak. Okay. But I'm not a big drinker. Like, you know, if I went with the guys like the real husbands of Aus West. You would die. I'm like a wine dude and like a like a rosé dude. And you could tell Joe Gorky kissed my fucking ass.

Oh my god, I do not see you as bad. I do not see you as wine and rosé. Frankie Gunn's kissed my fucking ass. I'm telling you right now, before I even go to the dinner, Joey G kissed my fucking ass. You're not having me fucking hanging out of a car, doing shots at this and all that. It's not I think it think never been my thing.

That's hysterical. I would never see you as that. And then just like a bunch of different desserts, chocolate sort of stuff. That would be a good, a good, a good fun day. All right. Well, listen, Michael, this has been so much fun. Keeping yourself this unfiltered human that you are, we need it in the world and we love it.
