of

time.

Crazy.

And then, you know, you started to find out that there's hostages from the tri-state area.

There's Eden Alexander from New Jersey.

There's Ruby Chen's kid who's born in Brooklyn.

There's Omir, you know, from Long Island.

My bad.

Right.

But no one's announced, uh, that they're running for President of the United States.

I was thinking the other day, I was like if, if you haven't announced you're running for President of the United States, we don't need to go crazy with the mayor.

We need to get our stuff in a row.

Sh- war- the warm-up deck and all that stuff.

Uh, get our, line everything up, and whatever needs to be done to win to take this dog out.

But I think this dog, because his ego.

This mayor is also a Karen.

comique, ok?

Comment c'est fou qu'ils sont l'un à l'autre, ce que tu n'aurais jamais vu avant.

N'importe quand.

And let's just give a shout out to Sarah Silverman, who said something either on a pod or maybe one time back, Green Room, I don't know.

She said it and it lives in my head.

She goes, nothing comes before the joke.

Not money, not a relationship, not your beliefs.

gens

Rapp, how about those Knicks? Sid,

we did it.

We finally did it.

After all the pain, all the heartbreak, all the disappointment, after our great point guards from the 80s, Sugar Ray Richardson cracked out the better of him.

He's not Lawrence Taylor,

the late great

Sugar Ray, Bill Cartwright, Bernard King, breaking his knee.

I thought you were, like, really good.

That's what bothered me again last night.

And he set the precedent this winter when probably the same kids were throwing snowballs at police officers, which is just unacceptable and completely disrespectful.

And he said, it's just kids being kids.

It's a snowball fight.

It ain't a snowball fight.

And when you enable that, this is what's next.

And these are not Knicks fans.

You got a big day today, and your big day today is really all about why I'm going to be at the Tribeca Film Festival later on tonight.

My guy, he's like, "Ciara's being so mean, and that wasn't really her boyfriend." And I just don't know if we'll make it to 30 years, Michael.

Yeah.

I, I, that's, uh...

I, I mean, listen, she did what she needed to do.

Ciara did what she needed to do.

Lindsay did what they needed to do.

They all came in.

Never.

You got expedited.

But, but only, not because I'm a world famous actor.

I got expedited only 'cause I walked into the Houston airport, and there's a smaller airport out of Houston, so I had double booked myself on a flight.

But I walked into the Houston airport, it was like, I think it was 5:00 in the morning, and which is, you know, when you're flying locally, I usually get to the airport an hour in advance because I got TSA, I got TSA Pre, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

I don't have, uh, check-in luggage.

Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

I got to the airport two hours before, so it was 5:00 in the morning, and I walked into this zoo and, and, and I said to the woman, I said, "Uh, uh, hey, how you doing? Is there a, is there TSA Pre?" She says, "Ha ha ha ha ha.

How is that mayoral campaign going?

I'm just curious, especially as we're talking about Passover, what was your Jewish family like growing up? What was a Passover for you when you were a kid?

Passover for me when I was a kid was extremely inconsistent.

You know, I grew up in Manhattan, two Jewish parents.

My mother's from Long Island, the five towns, which is a very specific, different type of Jewish woman.

This is not a Jap.

This is a jab.

I call them Jewish American ball breakers.

A

... that was part of the strategy?

No. No.

I, I think that the show, number one, you know, there's money on the line, and, you know, there's a certain amount of professional integrity that the show absolutely has.

Um, but I think that, you know, I think that, you know, everybody, I think the, the production wants everybody to succeed in whatever role they see them as.

And, and, and Rob was, uh, you know, his role, you know, Rinna's her role, um, my role, you know.

E- everybody sort of has like a, a storyline that's gonna sort of be contrived around what they're doing.

Um, and, um, so no, I don't think there was any, you know, favoritism or anything like that.

What did you think of Dorinda's performance in the castle?

[laughs]

Um, but, but y- but, you know, the thing for me that was the most fun was the sort of tightrope, tightrope element because I didn't go in there to, you know, uh, I didn't go in there to necessarily win the game, you know? And, and one time during the, the, the interviews, they said, you know, the prizes...

And, and obviously I, I knew about the prizes beforehand, but, but, but, you know, at, at one point three or four days into shooting, they, you know, they asked me about the prizes.

And I was like, "I'm here for the honey.

I'm not here for the money." Like, I was there to put on a good show.

I, when I got back, I told my wife, I said, "For me, a lot of times I felt like I was, you know, in a meta universe," like I was watching myself imagining how it would be to watch myself in a ra- reality TV show because I'm such a fan of it.

So it was almost like my instinct is performance.

Which I knew was gonna be a hard thing for you before you went.

Like, like going out for lunch?

I'm not saying she's like fucking shaking in her boots, but my wife in the last two, three years has been groped in, in Times Square, has had a fucking shoe thrown at her, has been called the N word, and got proposed to on the train by a homeless person, all between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM.

And when my wife got touched in the middle of the day coming out of a play, I, I'm not happy with that, and it was by like a, like a, like a homeless person.

Like, I don't care that you're homeless.

Um, don't touch my fucking wife.

You know what I mean? And I...

Like it bothered me so deeply that this happened to her, and that she's got a shoe throw at, shoe, shoe thrown at her.

Just crazy.
