- 5:00Speaker 3: every other Tuesday and then alternating Tuesdays.
- 5:04Speaker 2: I say, like every other Tuesday, but like opposite.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Yeah, so so I guess next week our very first
- 5:10Speaker 3: episode is we're just.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Talking about things that we're nostalgic for.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's like they're gonna be shorter episodes
- 5:16Speaker 3: just so we get episode out once a week, and
- 5:19Speaker 3: you know, if you're a nostalgic for something, let us
- 5:20Speaker 3: know as well. But yeah, they're gonna be like ten
- 5:22Speaker 3: to fifteen minute episodes off and too big.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff we're nostalgic for.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Yeah, we're still get off the rails and stuff a
- 5:28Speaker 2: little bit or a lot, though.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
- 5:30Speaker 2: We're pretty yeah, we're pretty good. So before we get
- 5:33Speaker 2: into our so we picked our top favorite scandal or
- 5:37Speaker 2: most memorable or nostalgic one. But do you have any
- 5:40Speaker 2: that you were gonna maybe your main squeeze.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I was originally gonna do OJ just because I'm
- 5:46Speaker 3: so fascinated with that case. I've probably watched I don't know,
- 5:49Speaker 3: thirty hours of documentaries about that.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I've read about it. I've done my own little like
- 5:54Speaker 1: chined to my own.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Research trying to figure out, like who really did it?
- 5:57Speaker 3: You know, and you know, I think it was Oja.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I can't wonder say, but I wasn't gonna
- 6:02Speaker 3: do that, but I thought, you know, I don't know, that.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Might be a little too gruesome for me.
- 6:07Speaker 3: I don't know, but I didn't choose that one and
- 6:08Speaker 3: I was listening about doing the East and West Coast
- 6:10Speaker 3: thing because YEA loved that growing up as well.
- 6:12Speaker 2: I was all like, OJ was definitely gonna be one,
- 6:15Speaker 2: but I didn't want to like offend any anyone. Sure,
- 6:19Speaker 2: Like I felt like if I I would feel so
- 6:22Speaker 2: bad if I offended somebody, I would feel like I
- 6:24Speaker 2: was stabbed seven times in the neck and then had
- 6:27Speaker 2: a five and a half inch gash across my neck.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it for sure.
- 6:35Speaker 2: I'm just hyperbole anyways. But then then also with the
- 6:39Speaker 2: OJ thing too, that was kind of ish what planted
- 6:43Speaker 2: the seed for the Kardashians because Robert Kardashian was on
- 6:46Speaker 2: his defense team and then he you know created you know, Kim,
- 6:50Speaker 2: Chloe and Lurch and I and he. But I'm not,
- 6:54Speaker 2: are you a Kardashian fan?
- 6:56Speaker 1: I don't. I've never seen an episode really well.
- 6:58Speaker 3: I know, I saw a clip it was like a
- 7:00Speaker 3: year or two ago where they started hitting each other, like, yeah,
- 7:02Speaker 3: there's something.
- 7:03Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, you know, no I watched it.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Oh I'm sorry.
- 7:07Speaker 3: I did watch a few episodes because I loved he
- 7:09Speaker 3: was a piece of ship and he like put money
- 7:11Speaker 3: in a waiter's mouth.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Yeah, that's up.
- 7:13Speaker 3: I watched a few episodes with him. I don't know
- 7:15Speaker 3: who I was aating at the time, but they watched it.
- 7:16Speaker 3: I was like, I fucking this. That guy was such
- 7:18Speaker 3: a piece of shit. I couldn't look away.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Remember his name.
- 7:21Speaker 2: So I do Scott, Yeah DJ Scott Dissick because yeah,
- 7:25Speaker 2: he likes to he does. Uh DJ's clubs where people
- 7:28Speaker 2: go that still are at Hardy. And the other one
- 7:32Speaker 2: I was gonna do was what this would be probably
- 7:35Speaker 2: a future one is the Royals. Oh sure they I
- 7:40Speaker 2: love the drama, especially the nineties drama. Like my favorite
- 7:44Speaker 2: and we talked about this before, is the topped phone
- 7:46Speaker 2: call with Prince Charles talking to his mistress Camilla, who's
- 7:49Speaker 2: now the Queen whatever, saying that he wants to be
- 7:52Speaker 2: her tampon. Yeah, and I'm like, that's fabulous. And then Fergie,
- 7:56Speaker 2: so Prince Andrew disgrace his ex wife Sarah Ferguson who
- 8:01Speaker 2: she is, but the red Hair She was an episode
- 8:03Speaker 2: of Friends and she she got like they got divorced
- 8:07Speaker 2: her and Prince Andrew. Then she tried to sell stories
- 8:10Speaker 2: and like stuff like that to like the the tabloids.
- 8:13Speaker 1: There, Prince Andrew's either the redhead or the one that's
- 8:18Speaker 1: is he a king?
- 8:18Speaker 3: Now?
- 8:19Speaker 4: No?
- 8:19Speaker 2: No, no, Charles is king. And then he has two brothers.
- 8:22Speaker 2: One that's like super hot, one that's like Epstein front,
- 8:24Speaker 2: Epstein's friend. Yeah, super bad. And then but anyway, so
- 8:29Speaker 2: Fergie so tried to sell access to her ex husband
- 8:33Speaker 2: and then also got caught by the tabloids getting her
- 8:35Speaker 2: toe sucked in in in public. I love that. And
- 8:39Speaker 2: then uh, and then obviously Princess Diana, but that's so
- 8:42Speaker 2: like heartbreaking. She was so amazing. Yeah, no, and she
- 8:47Speaker 2: was really close with Mother Teresa. Yeah. Leprosy is still
- 8:53Speaker 2: a thing, is it? Yeah? I asked a doctor recently.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Because you were afraid you had d C.
- 8:59Speaker 2: I was like, what's like the worst thing you've seen?
- 9:02Speaker 2: And she was he was like a lepersy. I was like, what.
- 9:05Speaker 3: The guy who invented the Heimlich maneuver died and like
- 9:09Speaker 3: two thousand or nineteen ninety. You just think, like you
- 9:12Speaker 3: would just think that it's so common that you.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Know, I don't, I don't know what that means.
- 9:16Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anyone give
- 9:23Speaker 2: the Homelick maneuver.
- 9:25Speaker 3: I uh we, So my buddy gave twice in my life.
- 9:29Speaker 3: He started choking and hating him to him twice. The
- 9:32Speaker 3: first time we were playing video games eating it. He
- 9:34Speaker 3: was eating a chip and I was like what, And
- 9:36Speaker 3: so I was like gonna, I was gonna punch him
- 9:37Speaker 3: in the stomach to like try to dislodge because I
- 9:39Speaker 3: don't have to do the Heiml like I know, fucking yeah.
- 9:41Speaker 3: But then I was like, oh, I don't want to
- 9:42Speaker 3: punch him too hard. I'll like do something, you know.
- 9:45Speaker 3: So I kind of pulled my punch so like you
- 9:47Speaker 3: know if you say, hey, what's up, pal, and you
- 9:49Speaker 3: kind of punch someone on the arm. So he was
- 9:50Speaker 3: like choking and I did that to his stomach and
- 9:52Speaker 3: he was like what the fuck?
- 9:54Speaker 1: And then Delo gave him the Heimlich.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Was so the Heimlich maneuver was named after the person
- 9:59Speaker 2: who invented it.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Yeah, but then he started getting weird, like he's because
- 10:02Speaker 3: that was a great idea, you know. But then he
- 10:04Speaker 3: was like saying that like the Heimlich maneuver can like
- 10:07Speaker 3: cure diseases or something weird like that, and then he
- 10:09Speaker 3: was trying to invent something that caused more damage, like
- 10:12Speaker 3: it was a suction cup for your throat or something
- 10:14Speaker 3: like that.
- 10:15Speaker 1: So then he'start getting really weird in his later years.
- 10:17Speaker 2: But right, you know in grade school, they would be like, oh,
- 10:22Speaker 2: you know said crisscross apple sauce. Oh wait fuck, I
- 10:25Speaker 2: just gave the punchline away. Okay, so anyways to be continued.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Bringing out in a future episode where I forgot about it.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not want to say it right now. So
- 10:35Speaker 2: if you're constipated, they say to cross your legs while
- 10:39Speaker 2: you're going to the restroom, and because it's crisscross and
- 10:42Speaker 2: apple Sace comes out. That's it. All right? So uh
- 10:49Speaker 2: now we're gonna chat about our favor Do we call
- 10:51Speaker 2: it favorite scandal or this one?
- 10:56Speaker 3: This one isn't my Maybe I don't know, but this
- 10:58Speaker 3: one really the one I chose. I remember it for years,
- 11:01Speaker 3: like my childhood. I just this happened because it took
- 11:04Speaker 3: so long for it to finally come out and everything,
- 11:06Speaker 3: like I remember being all all the night, late night.
- 11:09Speaker 3: So I don't know if it's necessarily my favorite one,
- 11:11Speaker 3: but I think this one, other than the OJ case, like,
- 11:13Speaker 3: impacted me.
- 11:14Speaker 2: More than any of gotcha, all right, what is it?
- 11:17Speaker 3: All right, so I'm going to start and yeah, probably,
- 11:19Speaker 3: uh so, I'm just going to start reading. So my
- 11:21Speaker 3: thing was I was going to kind of read a
- 11:22Speaker 3: little bit of a story and then go from there.
- 11:26Speaker 2: So nice, mine's going to be a bunch of jobble gibble.
- 11:32Speaker 4: I want you to listen to me.
- 11:33Speaker 1: I'm going to say this again.
- 11:35Speaker 4: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, miss Lewinsky.
- 11:42Speaker 4: I never told anybody to lie, not a single time never.
- 11:47Speaker 4: These allegations are false, and I need to go back
- 11:50Speaker 4: to work for the American people.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Thank you so.
- 11:55Speaker 3: Monica Lewinsky was born on July twenty third, nineteen seventy three,
- 11:58Speaker 3: in San Francisco, California. Her parents, George and Linda, were
- 12:02Speaker 3: both involved in public service. Her father worked as a
- 12:04Speaker 3: social services counselor and her mother was an educational psychologist.
- 12:09Speaker 3: They moved to Los Angeles when Monica was a child.
- 12:12Speaker 3: Monica attended Beverly Hills High School, where she was actively
- 12:15Speaker 3: involved in student government and theater, and then after high school,
- 12:19Speaker 3: she attended Saint Monica College before transferring to Lewis and
- 12:22Speaker 3: Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
- 12:24Speaker 2: Oh my god, crazy.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Right, and there she earned a degree in psychology. So
- 12:28Speaker 3: after a college she didn't really know what she wanted
- 12:31Speaker 3: to do. And she's having dinner with her mom one
- 12:32Speaker 3: night and a family friend, and her family friend was like, Hey,
- 12:36Speaker 3: my grandson just did an internship at.
- 12:39Speaker 1: The White House.
- 12:40Speaker 3: They have that we could probably help you get in there.
- 12:43Speaker 3: She's like, well, that sounds kind of interesting. So that's
- 12:45Speaker 3: how it all started, all right, And do you remember,
- 12:48Speaker 3: I mean you have to.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:51Speaker 3: So the very first time they met, Monica said, that's
- 12:55Speaker 3: when she really got the full Bill Clinton, like the charm,
- 12:58Speaker 3: the good looks like. She was like, when I first
- 13:01Speaker 3: met him, it was like everybody else in the world disappeared.
- 13:05Speaker 3: And then after the second time she met him, she
- 13:08Speaker 3: was like, oh, I kind of feel like he likes me.
- 13:10Speaker 3: And so she showed him her thong and that kind
- 13:12Speaker 3: of started the whole oh, you know, everything going on.
- 13:16Speaker 3: But like I think about it now, if I was
- 13:19Speaker 3: like at work and some lady like mooned me her thong,
- 13:22Speaker 3: I'd be like, what the fuck?
- 13:23Speaker 1: Yeah doing Like I'd be like, I don't know. I
- 13:27Speaker 1: would take it as like do you not like me?
- 13:29Speaker 1: Like why are you mooning me? Or something? Oh, yeah,
- 13:30Speaker 1: I guess it was like.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Every time I've mooned somebody, it's been like either a
- 13:33Speaker 2: prank or it does.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, you know, like it's just weird.
- 13:37Speaker 2: He should have went up to her magazine with like,
- 13:39Speaker 2: fart of got you back?
- 13:42Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that's horrible.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Uh So, then after she showed the thong, that's when
- 13:49Speaker 3: they kind of started their their relationship. And I say
- 13:52Speaker 3: relationship because I think it was like they were basically
- 13:57Speaker 3: dating for years. He would get her presence, she would
- 14:00Speaker 3: give him presence, and not just those presents, but she's
- 14:04Speaker 3: like give him ties, the stuff, and here were ties
- 14:06Speaker 3: on TV and she's like, oh, he's wearing that for me,
- 14:08Speaker 3: you know. But then before the second election, she got
- 14:13Speaker 3: moved to the Pentagon because a lot of people could
- 14:17Speaker 3: tell there was probably something going on there and they
- 14:19Speaker 3: didn't want it to be They didn't want it to
- 14:22Speaker 3: affect his presidency. So there that's when she moved to
- 14:25Speaker 3: the Pentagon Pentagon to work there, not by troice, and
- 14:28Speaker 3: that's where she met Linda Tripp. You know why Linda
- 14:32Speaker 3: Tripp's important to this whole thing, Well, for the listener,
- 14:35Speaker 3: if you don't.
- 14:36Speaker 1: This is why.
- 14:37Speaker 3: No, Linda Tripp was a little bit older than Monica Lewinsky.
- 14:41Speaker 3: Before Clinton, she worked in the White House under George W.
- 14:44Speaker 3: The Senior, or not George W. George H. Yeah, and
- 14:48Speaker 3: she was like super right wing and she fucking hated
- 14:51Speaker 3: the Clintons because she thought Bill because Bill Clinton would
- 14:54Speaker 3: have his buddies over and they'd be drinking the Oval
- 14:55Speaker 3: Office and she's like, that's fucked up. You don't do that,
- 14:58Speaker 3: Like the Oval Office is so thing that is sacred,
- 15:01Speaker 3: you know. And she was kind of more liked back
- 15:03Speaker 3: and she didn't like that. And then so once her
- 15:06Speaker 3: and Monica started talking, that's when she was like, oh,
- 15:09Speaker 3: you have a relationship with Bill Clinton. This is a
- 15:11Speaker 3: good way to like kind of fuck him over, right.
- 15:14Speaker 3: But she also wanted to have a she wanted to
- 15:16Speaker 3: write a book, so she reached out to like this
- 15:18Speaker 3: publication person and they're like, well everything. She's writing everything
- 15:23Speaker 3: down and she's actually even having Monica like make a
- 15:26Speaker 3: list of everything they've done. And Monica's like why, and
- 15:29Speaker 3: she's like, well, because you say that Bill Clinton gets
- 15:31Speaker 3: hot and cold with these sometimes.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Maybe there's a pattern. She's like okay.
- 15:34Speaker 3: And at this time, Monica lensk Is was on like
- 15:36Speaker 3: twenty one twenty two. She was really young, you know,
- 15:38Speaker 3: and this older lady is kind of like also taking.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Advantage of her, you know, like Bill Clinton.
- 15:43Speaker 3: So it's weird that, like it seems like everybody that
- 15:47Speaker 3: she was confining in during this time, other than her parents,
- 15:50Speaker 3: they were all like trying to get something out of her,
- 15:52Speaker 3: which is really sad, you know.
- 15:54Speaker 1: But then the publication person was like, well, even though you.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Have written down, we need you to secretly record Mindnica Lewinsky,
- 16:00Speaker 3: and Linden Trip's like, isn't it illegal, and she's like, no,
- 16:02Speaker 3: it's not illegal, but it depends each state's different. So
- 16:06Speaker 3: Linda Tripp started recording Monica Lewinsky and getting all this information.
- 16:10Speaker 3: This is this, This is why I almost decided not
- 16:13Speaker 3: to do this because there's so many different parts. So
- 16:16Speaker 3: while all of this is going on, Ken Starr is
- 16:20Speaker 3: prosecuting Bill Clinton for something he did before became presidency
- 16:24Speaker 3: or before it became the president. It was like some
- 16:26Speaker 3: land deal called like Blackwater or something. I can't remember,
- 16:28Speaker 3: something like that, and they can't really find anything. But
- 16:32Speaker 3: also this lady named Paula Jones sues Bill Clinton for
- 16:36Speaker 3: sexual harassment and so then Ken Starr is kind of like, oh,
- 16:40Speaker 3: I think I can use some of that. And then
- 16:43Speaker 3: then they got wind of the Linda Tripp thing, and
- 16:46Speaker 3: so now this is all becoming a huge spiral to
- 16:50Speaker 3: where eventually Bill Clinton ends up perjuring himself under law
- 16:55Speaker 3: because he says, I did not.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Have sexual relations with that one.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Yeah, and so his reasoning, Oh so, by the way,
- 17:03Speaker 3: I don't know if I missed this, but during Monica
- 17:05Speaker 3: Lensky and Bill Clinton's relationship or scandal or affair, whatever
- 17:09Speaker 3: you want to call it, she was given like a
- 17:12Speaker 3: lot of BJ's like that's all they ever did. So
- 17:14Speaker 3: when Ken Starr was asking Bill Clinton about everything, he says,
- 17:20Speaker 3: he goes, this is what this is how we define
- 17:22Speaker 3: sexual relations and they list a bunch of stuff, but
- 17:25Speaker 3: it's all kind of vague. And one of the so
- 17:28Speaker 3: Bill Clinton said he never did anything to Monica Lewinsky
- 17:31Speaker 3: to try to turn her on. He only received blowjobs.
- 17:35Speaker 3: So in his head, he wasn't lying because in one
- 17:38Speaker 3: of the ways that they describe sexual relationships is touching
- 17:43Speaker 3: one another to like turn them on, you know. But
- 17:45Speaker 3: he's like, I never touched her, you know. So that's
- 17:48Speaker 3: why he said it, and that's that's what his reasoning was,
- 17:51Speaker 3: you know. But then everything starts getting leaked from the
- 17:57Speaker 3: Monica Lewinsky, Linda Trip phone calls, everything, and it's all over,
- 18:02Speaker 3: and it was everybody was so mean to Monica Wincy,
- 18:06Speaker 3: Like if you watch those date or late night shows,
- 18:08Speaker 3: especially Jay Leno, but Jay Leno was always kind of
- 18:11Speaker 3: hacky anyways, but they're just fucking mean.
- 18:13Speaker 1: They like they're saying.
- 18:14Speaker 3: She's fat, she's ugly, she's a whore and everything, and
- 18:17Speaker 3: it's just like and then growing up in that time,
- 18:20Speaker 3: like you and everybody was like every it was okay,
- 18:23Speaker 3: it was acceptable. So it's just weird that, like it
- 18:26Speaker 3: was so misogynistic and it was just the norm, and
- 18:29Speaker 3: nobody said anything, you know, So if you're growing up
- 18:31Speaker 3: in that scene, that you could definitely see how somebody
- 18:34Speaker 3: older now would think it's okay to act that way.
- 18:36Speaker 1: You know.
- 18:37Speaker 4: Monica also said that President Clinton would often compliment her
- 18:41Speaker 4: on her figure.
- 18:42Speaker 1: He would say things.
- 18:43Speaker 2: Like, oh, you look skinny today.
- 18:47Speaker 1: You know, I've even't think this guy was the biggest
- 18:48Speaker 1: liar in the world before. I'm sorry, pretty much fucked
- 18:53Speaker 1: it all over the time.
- 18:54Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That was like the begin in and of
- 19:01Speaker 2: like internet being like a big thing.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:03Speaker 2: So then it was like she was the first like
- 19:09Speaker 2: major victim of like celebrity stuff that I a few
- 19:13Speaker 2: minutes ago was saying that, I like, right, yeah, but.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Yeah, and then she starts talking like the FBI and
- 19:20Speaker 3: or CIA ors you know, higher FBI and stuff like that,
- 19:23Speaker 3: and then they're having her describe everything they ever did
- 19:27Speaker 3: in great detail, and she goes, that's that was probably
- 19:30Speaker 3: the worst thing out of everything. She goes, because it
- 19:32Speaker 3: was private, what we did was supposed to be just us.
- 19:34Speaker 3: And then so and that's what I was talking about earlier.
- 19:38Speaker 3: So Clinton kind of wanted something from her Linden trip
- 19:40Speaker 3: kind of won IM not kind I don't know. Bill
- 19:41Speaker 3: Clinton wanted something from her Lender trip, wanted something from
- 19:44Speaker 3: her not like this FBI people they want them can star.
- 19:47Speaker 3: So she doesn't have anybody to that she can probably
- 19:51Speaker 3: trust other than her mom, because everybody that's talkic said, hey,
- 19:54Speaker 3: we're doing we're doing this for you. You know this
- 19:57Speaker 3: in your best interest to do this. But like everybody's
- 19:59Speaker 3: just pulling her apart, all right, So I don't know
- 20:01Speaker 3: that shit just so fucked up, you know.
- 20:03Speaker 2: And I think they started during the kind of interrogation,
- 20:07Speaker 2: we're threatening to arrest her and arrest her mother.
- 20:10Speaker 1: For thirty years.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's pretty pretty messed up.
- 20:14Speaker 3: Well, it's because Bill Clinton was like, you don't need
- 20:17Speaker 3: to talk to them. If they come talk to you
- 20:19Speaker 3: can just sign an affid david and we'll write one
- 20:22Speaker 3: up for you. She's like, okay, fine, And then the
- 20:24Speaker 3: whole time they're like, did Bill Clinton ask you to lie?
- 20:27Speaker 3: And she's like, no, he never asked me to lie.
- 20:29Speaker 3: He said I didn't need to talk and I could
- 20:31Speaker 3: just sign an affidavid and give something written. That's all
- 20:33Speaker 3: he said about it.
- 20:34Speaker 1: But they didn't like believe it, of.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Course, so they were like, well, you're lying and you're
- 20:38Speaker 3: gonna get thirty years unless you tell us the truth,
- 20:39Speaker 3: you know. And then I feel like maybe around I
- 20:45Speaker 3: didn't feel like after everything came out, Bill Clinton was,
- 20:48Speaker 3: you know, suitor, not sued, but impeached, impeach.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yeah, but he didn't get kicked out.
- 20:53Speaker 3: And I feel like that's kind of also where the
- 20:57Speaker 3: big divide in like politics is now in America, because
- 21:00Speaker 3: like I feel like Republicans are like during the Bill
- 21:04Speaker 3: Clinton thing, like even though he's a piece of shit,
- 21:06Speaker 3: You're still gonna support him. And then the Democrats are like,
- 21:08Speaker 3: you just hate him because he's a Democrat. You've had
- 21:11Speaker 3: him out from this entire time. And I feel like
- 21:12Speaker 3: that's kind of really where the divide went, because it
- 21:15Speaker 3: was so fucking divided on you know, what they should
- 21:17Speaker 3: do with him, So especially like.
- 21:20Speaker 2: In because Congress will impeach and then the Senate convicts.
- 21:25Speaker 2: So in the Congress, for the most part, it's a
- 21:28Speaker 2: little bit more partisan because you're elected every two years,
- 21:33Speaker 2: so whatever flavor of the month or like crazy shit's
- 21:36Speaker 2: going on in your party, that's who's going to be
- 21:38Speaker 2: the more reflected one. And then but I thought that
- 21:40Speaker 2: the Senate handled it pretty all right because depending on
- 21:44Speaker 2: how you feel about Bill Clinton being removed from office
- 21:47Speaker 2: or not, like it probably would have benefited us because
- 21:49Speaker 2: we would have got al Gore and he would be finished,
- 21:51Speaker 2: like fixing the climate issue.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah.
- 21:55Speaker 2: It's very complex, and I'm glad that like to see
- 22:00Speaker 2: Monicawinsky get like to tell her own story with the
- 22:04Speaker 2: internet now and with videos on YouTube, and like there
- 22:08Speaker 2: was a mini series about it that she was a
- 22:10Speaker 2: producer on, so she really got a TV show. Yeah,
- 22:14Speaker 2: the Ryan Murphy he did American Crime Story season. Yeah,
- 22:23Speaker 2: I didn't know that it was a sequel to that one,
- 22:25Speaker 2: like anthology and it it told the story through Linda
- 22:29Speaker 2: Tripp's eyes, Monica Lewinsky and then Paula what your name
- 22:35Speaker 2: Paula Joel Paul Jones. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I'm glad
- 22:40Speaker 2: that she's kind of getting getting it back again.
- 22:42Speaker 3: Well, yeah, after all this happened, she went to Europe
- 22:44Speaker 3: and she got like a doctor in like psychology or
- 22:47Speaker 3: something like that, so she you know, kicking ass. She
- 22:49Speaker 3: originally said she didn't really think it was like an
- 22:52Speaker 3: older male taking advantage, but lately, after the mew two things,
- 22:55Speaker 3: she's kind of thinking like it kind of was, you
- 22:57Speaker 3: know originally because I think she wrote a book in
- 23:00Speaker 3: twenty fourteen saying that like it was kind of a
- 23:03Speaker 3: mutual relationship and everything, and but now she's kind of
- 23:07Speaker 3: because it has to be. I mean, that's the most
- 23:09Speaker 3: powerful person in the world, you know what I mean. Like,
- 23:12Speaker 3: even if she did kind of like make the first
- 23:14Speaker 3: move by showing her thong Bill Clinton, you should have
- 23:17Speaker 3: still been like, it's a really young woman, and I
- 23:20Speaker 3: am you know what I mean like you should still
- 23:22Speaker 3: be able to see that connection, or that.
- 23:26Speaker 1: You should be able to see that it's wrong, is.
- 23:28Speaker 2: What I'm saying. Yeah, I would find it very difficult
- 23:30Speaker 2: to flirt with the president.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I'll like be entranced by like that because
- 23:35Speaker 2: you always, I always think of the president as someone
- 23:39Speaker 2: that's like someone to look up to. Not recently, but
- 23:43Speaker 2: but yeah. So yeah, no, that's a that's a really
- 23:46Speaker 2: good one. Like that one eclipsed a lot of a
- 23:50Speaker 2: lot of the nineties.
- 23:51Speaker 3: Well, the relationship started in ninety five, and I think
- 23:54Speaker 3: he finally got impeached in like ninety eight. So from
- 23:57Speaker 3: when I was seven to like ten or eleven, it
- 24:00Speaker 3: was always on the TV. So that's a that's your
- 24:02Speaker 3: formative years of just hearing about this and not really understanding,
- 24:05Speaker 3: you know, what was going on because I was and
- 24:07Speaker 3: I don't really asked when I was seven.
- 24:09Speaker 1: I don't know even know if I knew, I probably
- 24:11Speaker 1: know a blow job.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Probably a lot of parents had to have like awkward
- 24:14Speaker 2: conversations with their kids around that time. Like before then,
- 24:18Speaker 2: I like, there was definitely you know, the Kennedy scandals
- 24:21Speaker 2: and like that kind of thing. But what we'd have Internet,
- 24:23Speaker 2: we'd have as much TV. It was known but not
- 24:27Speaker 2: known known. Yeah, so now it's like everybody in the
- 24:30Speaker 2: White House has cell phones, so nothing would be able
- 24:33Speaker 2: to go go secret.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Yeah that's so true.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Mm hmm, you know, yeah, no, it's all the whole
- 24:39Speaker 3: thing was crazy and I just even code and like
- 24:41Speaker 3: I love Conan, but you can even find clips of
- 24:43Speaker 3: Conan make some jokes about Monica Lewinsky because it was
- 24:45Speaker 3: everybody was.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Doing it, but I don't think anybody was doing nastier
- 24:49Speaker 1: or harder ones and more than horrible j Leno.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Yeah. And then there was the recent repost of Trump
- 24:58Speaker 2: posting uh picture of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. It
- 25:02Speaker 2: was like two blow jobs that ruined their careers something
- 25:05Speaker 2: like that, like that's that's our former president. All right, yeah, crazy,
- 25:09Speaker 2: but but no, that one was that one was a
- 25:11Speaker 2: good one. Yeah.
- 25:12Speaker 3: And you know, I think you should do your own
- 25:13Speaker 3: research on it too, just because uh, for this episode,
- 25:16Speaker 3: I you know, watched all the documentaries, podcast a lot
- 25:19Speaker 3: of reading and I don't want to like get too
- 25:21Speaker 3: into because it gets really like the depths of it,
- 25:25Speaker 3: and like there's so many little moving pieces to realize
- 25:28Speaker 3: how this all kind of came about, but I don't
- 25:30Speaker 3: want it would have been like a three hour of
- 25:31Speaker 3: me just like talking to you, you know what I mean.
- 25:33Speaker 2: And then the the other women in the in that scandal,
- 25:37Speaker 2: like Paula Jones was treated like shit, never got like justice.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I'm gonna forget I forget her first name, but Flowers
- 25:46Speaker 2: that came out that she's the one that sparked back
- 25:48Speaker 2: when he was Clinton was the governor of Arkansas. Oh yeah,
- 25:52Speaker 2: he had a situation I forget the details with the
- 25:55Speaker 2: woman lost in Flowers, and then that's what sparked Paula
- 25:59Speaker 2: Jones report her situation when he was governor.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:02Speaker 2: So and then and then also I don't know how
- 26:05Speaker 2: much empathy or sympathy we should have for Linda Trump
- 26:07Speaker 2: Linda not land Trump, uh, Linda Trip. But she got
- 26:13Speaker 2: like break through the Coles.
- 26:15Speaker 3: To be honest, I think she should have. Though, I mean,
- 26:17Speaker 3: not the whole look thing, because they were really mean
- 26:19Speaker 3: about her looks, but just I think she was a
- 26:20Speaker 3: piece of shit because she would secretly record like that'd
- 26:24Speaker 3: be like if we were hanging out right now and
- 26:25Speaker 3: I was recording you.
- 26:27Speaker 2: You are oh no, no, yeah, no.
- 26:30Speaker 3: But like to secretly record your friend and also try
- 26:32Speaker 3: to like push information. Like She's like, I mean Bill Clinton,
- 26:36Speaker 3: you know he sexually harassed you, right, And She's like, no,
- 26:39Speaker 3: I know, I don't know what Paula Jones is saying,
- 26:41Speaker 3: or I know what Paula Jones saying, but no, he
- 26:42Speaker 3: never sexually harassed me or anything.
- 26:44Speaker 1: You know.
- 26:45Speaker 3: But Linda's like, you know how Howard Stern kind of
- 26:47Speaker 3: does those interviews where he tries.
- 26:48Speaker 1: To like push to like get them to say something.
- 26:50Speaker 3: She does that so much, just the whole fact that
- 26:54Speaker 3: just to make money off of Monica. She like, I
- 26:57Speaker 3: don't know, just it blows my mind. I think, yeah,
- 27:00Speaker 3: I don't know. She yeah, and I don't like her.
- 27:04Speaker 2: Well here she died.
- 27:05Speaker 1: She did in twenty twenty, so recently.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Awesome.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I like, yeah, but no, that yeah, that one
- 27:17Speaker 3: was huge growing up.
- 27:19Speaker 2: All right, So are ready for mine?
- 27:21Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 27:21Speaker 2: For sure? Okay, so mine, let me get my paper,
- 27:24Speaker 2: I let me get my documents out, So mine is
- 27:27Speaker 2: my I would I would categorize this as my favorite
- 27:30Speaker 2: scandal of all time, and it involves a legendary duel,
- 27:40Speaker 2: and I'm so intrigued right now, I know No, it's
- 27:43Speaker 2: none other than the Tanya Hardin.
- 27:47Speaker 4: US figure skater and Olympic favorite Nancy Kerrigan is leading
- 27:51Speaker 4: a practice in Detroit, but someone is waiting.
- 27:55Speaker 2: In the wings that.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Are so bad.
- 28:07Speaker 2: A man jumps out with a retractable police baton and
- 28:11Speaker 2: wax her once on the knee. Yeah, maybe not dual
- 28:20Speaker 2: like rivalry, but she's one of the notori. Like there's
- 28:24Speaker 2: difference between famous and notorious, and she would classify under notorious.
- 28:30Speaker 2: But we'll get more into like the weeds of it all.
- 28:33Speaker 2: But and this is gonna be more of like a
- 28:35Speaker 2: Jeff take on it. But I do have an anecdote
- 28:37Speaker 2: about Tanya Harding so too. One she did wish my
- 28:41Speaker 2: dog a happy birth and Instagram at Guscus underscore the
- 28:44Speaker 2: dog thing. So I love that for her or for me.
- 28:48Speaker 2: And then Jeremy, my spouse, told me because she's from
- 28:51Speaker 2: Oregon where we are, and it was about ninety four
- 28:54Speaker 2: and ninety five and his dad was playing pool in Oregon,
- 28:59Speaker 2: seay and Tanya Harding was there, weird and then right
- 29:03Speaker 2: after yeah, like right like literally right after, And this
- 29:07Speaker 2: is what Jeremy told me, and I believe in because
- 29:10Speaker 2: like she lives in the area and she's trashy that
- 29:16Speaker 2: they were playing pool and he said, if I win,
- 29:18Speaker 2: I get to dance with you. And then if she wins,
- 29:23Speaker 2: she doesn't, which is super fucked up actually that I
- 29:26Speaker 2: think about that. And she ended up winning, but she
- 29:30Speaker 2: still danced with him. But but yeah, that's that. And
- 29:34Speaker 2: then she like he know who it was that I
- 29:37Speaker 2: strongly doubt it, but somebody must have known to tell
- 29:40Speaker 2: him because he doesn't like read or write or anything,
- 29:44Speaker 2: so he just yeah, And then I used to back
- 29:48Speaker 2: in my work retail, worked at a mall in Portland,
- 29:52Speaker 2: and back in the day she used to have, uh,
- 29:54Speaker 2: there used to be ice rink and that's back years ago,
- 29:57Speaker 2: is when where she used to do like her lessons
- 30:00Speaker 2: and that kind of thing. So she's like a local
- 30:03Speaker 2: celebrity kind of for sure. But my take like she's
- 30:07Speaker 2: another one similar to Monica Lewinsky in my opinion that
- 30:11Speaker 2: has kind of wrongfully been blamed for a lot of
- 30:15Speaker 2: the shit that happened. Yeah, yeah, like with Monica. You
- 30:18Speaker 2: know Monica, you know, she did hook up with a
- 30:19Speaker 2: married man, but there are, you know, so many factors
- 30:22Speaker 2: involved in that that doesn't make it white or black.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Same thing with Tanya Harding. She was born in nineteen
- 30:28Speaker 2: seventy and then I have another sidebar about that later,
- 30:32Speaker 2: so around the same age as Monica, which is kind
- 30:34Speaker 2: of interesting.
- 30:34Speaker 1: There's some parallels and they're both I mean, to college
- 30:37Speaker 1: in Oregon.
- 30:37Speaker 2: And there's also a same character from your story as
- 30:41Speaker 2: there is with this one too, which is so fascinating,
- 30:44Speaker 2: so be thinking about who it might be. Anyways, and
- 30:47Speaker 2: then she's born in nineteen seventy, the same years in
- 30:53Speaker 2: with Thurman and the Late Rapper DMX. Tanya Harding was
- 30:56Speaker 2: enrolled in ice skating lessons at the age of three.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Damn Yeah, her parent parrot obsessed mother because she always
- 31:05Speaker 2: had like a parrot or like a not a parent.
- 31:08Speaker 2: What this thing's called like a small part, Yeah, like
- 31:10Speaker 2: a little bird on her shoulder like a Disney villain.
- 31:14Speaker 1: Freak out.
- 31:15Speaker 2: But have you seen Cyber Have you seen Titania the movie?
- 31:18Speaker 1: Watch it?
- 31:20Speaker 2: Just yeah, yeah, listener, watch it asap. It's a little campy,
- 31:24Speaker 2: very different take on like a biopic. It breaks the
- 31:29Speaker 2: fourth wall, which outs that camp vice camp vibe. And
- 31:33Speaker 2: then Alison Channing won Best Supporting Actress OSCAR for this role.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Took so great acting in this to see if Yeah. Yes,
- 31:43Speaker 2: So her mom really pushed her into that. She spent
- 31:48Speaker 2: most of her early life training, eventually dropping out of
- 31:51Speaker 2: high school to all of her time to the sport.
- 31:53Speaker 2: So in figure skating, especially back when it was like
- 31:57Speaker 2: at its like people were obsessed with it in culture.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I remember watching it a bunch growing up, not even
- 32:03Speaker 3: just the Olympics, and my favorite one I think his
- 32:05Speaker 3: name is Scott something but he did backflips.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Oh nice.
- 32:07Speaker 3: I remember watching it with my mom growing up and
- 32:09Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh. And yeah, I was
- 32:10Speaker 3: always hoping that he would skate. I'd always watch it
- 32:12Speaker 3: waiting for him.
- 32:13Speaker 2: So I can't I can't name any ice skaters right now.
- 32:16Speaker 2: I just watch the Olympics, but like I still know,
- 32:18Speaker 2: like you know, tear Lepenski. Oh fuck, I'm forgetting the
- 32:23Speaker 2: one I just had in my tongue. But there's still
- 32:25Speaker 2: like household names. Yeah, decades later. So in the nineties,
- 32:29Speaker 2: ice skating was like a thighing so yeah, Gucci one, Christie, Yeah,
- 32:35Speaker 2: that's one. Yeah, see what I mean. Like anyways, and
- 32:38Speaker 2: then so people are in that sport spend thousands and
- 32:43Speaker 2: thousands of dollars on trainers, on costumes, on everything, driving everywhere.
- 32:50Speaker 3: There's so much etiquette when it comes to like competing,
- 32:52Speaker 3: and then there's so many little rules that like the
- 32:54Speaker 3: average viewer wouldn't know. Like, yeah, I'm not saying I'm
- 32:58Speaker 3: above and beyond. I'm just saying I've watched a lot
- 33:00Speaker 3: of documentaries. But I watched a lot of documentaries. Everybody
- 33:03Speaker 3: like that's mainly what I watch, But I've watched documentaries.
- 33:06Speaker 3: And I recently just listened to this NPR thing about
- 33:10Speaker 3: figure skating where this lady or this girl, she was
- 33:14Speaker 3: black and she was she didn't get a like a
- 33:17Speaker 3: an award or a medal, but everybody else did and
- 33:20Speaker 3: stuff like that, and so she went back and they
- 33:23Speaker 3: see it was really important.
- 33:24Speaker 1: But they were talking about how.
- 33:25Speaker 3: They would score her her way harsher and everybody's they're like, no,
- 33:31Speaker 3: it's not because of this, and everybody's like, clearly she's
- 33:34Speaker 3: doing better than everybody else. And then they're giving her
- 33:37Speaker 3: like you know, it's the way she takes office is
- 33:39Speaker 3: a little weird, so they get you know, it's just
- 33:40Speaker 3: like that.
- 33:41Speaker 1: So there's so many weird ways you can rule on that.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of biases, biases in judging in sports, yeah,
- 33:49Speaker 2: or any kind of where there's a judge. And that
- 33:52Speaker 2: was the issue that Tanya Harding had was she wasn't
- 33:55Speaker 2: prem and proper. She didn't have expensive outfits that cost
- 33:59Speaker 2: thousands of all or she'd have her makeup and hair
- 34:01Speaker 2: professionally done. She would make a lot of her own outfits,
- 34:06Speaker 2: so that deducted her. So she was definitely more skilled
- 34:10Speaker 2: on the on the ice rink than most, but she
- 34:14Speaker 2: got danged so much because of her. She'd have the
- 34:16Speaker 2: pageantry down. So that was that was a that was
- 34:22Speaker 2: downfall and she was I think the I had to
- 34:24Speaker 2: bring down somewhere. I think the first American woman to
- 34:28Speaker 2: land the triple axel in competition and the second woman worldwide.
- 34:33Speaker 2: So that's something that wasn't And that's what's happening right
- 34:35Speaker 2: now with sports is that we're elevating so high that
- 34:39Speaker 2: even like Simone Biles and gymnastics is coming up with
- 34:42Speaker 2: her own like uh, what are they called, like moves
- 34:47Speaker 2: or whatever that are tricks, aren't right something like that,
- 34:52Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, she's coming up with her own moves
- 34:56Speaker 2: that are now going to be like the standard and
- 34:58Speaker 2: that's kind of how the Triple Acts was back in
- 35:00Speaker 2: the nineties, with her pioneering that for women. So I
- 35:05Speaker 2: thought that was super impressive that she was, you know,
- 35:10Speaker 2: a pioneer with that, but she obviously was shit on
- 35:14Speaker 2: by with how she looked and how she acted. Oh,
- 35:20Speaker 2: that's weird. So in my notes I did say this
- 35:23Speaker 2: two time Olympian is the same age as this lady
- 35:25Speaker 2: I met who's in a long, long term relationship with
- 35:27Speaker 2: a guy born in nineteen ninety four. Yeah, I met
- 35:30Speaker 2: a woman she was born in nineteen seventy two and
- 35:33Speaker 2: her boyfriend ninety four. So it's a twenty two year
- 35:38Speaker 2: age difference. But I'm here for it. I love it.
- 35:41Speaker 2: I think society has been okay older men to be
- 35:44Speaker 2: with younger women. This is fabulous. She's like a doctor
- 35:47Speaker 2: or whatever. And then he's just like doing like the housework.
- 35:51Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck you, Yeah, this is awesome.
- 35:52Speaker 1: I wanted to be a stay at home has been
- 35:54Speaker 1: my whole fucking life. Yeah, old lady.
- 35:57Speaker 2: And then oh, and then when I was writing on
- 36:01Speaker 2: my notes about her being the first woman in America,
- 36:06Speaker 2: I said her story and they didn't autocract me, and
- 36:11Speaker 2: I was like, oh my gosh, like whatever story, Yeah,
- 36:14Speaker 2: like that that's now an actual word. That to be
- 36:17Speaker 2: is not really slang anymore. It's like actually a part
- 36:20Speaker 2: of our vocabulary, which I think is fabulous. And then
- 36:24Speaker 2: I keep saying I'm on my morm one.
- 36:26Speaker 1: And so she had a lot of competitions.
- 36:29Speaker 2: With Yeah, so walk in Nancy care again. Yeah, beautiful statuesque,
- 36:37Speaker 2: brunette hair, just perfect. She I don't know have she
- 36:40Speaker 2: came from any or what, but her outfits were you know,
- 36:43Speaker 2: five star. She wasn't as technically good on the on
- 36:46Speaker 2: the ice rink as Tanya Harding, but she was. She
- 36:48Speaker 2: was really good that she went to championships like internationally,
- 36:52Speaker 2: nationally and then the Olympics. So she was definitely, But
- 36:56Speaker 2: there was kind of the media this rivalry that was
- 36:59Speaker 2: getting spun, like the you know, the princess versus you know,
- 37:04Speaker 2: Tinya Hardy.
- 37:04Speaker 1: You know, they used the beauty and the beast.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Probably yeah, probably, I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did. Okay,
- 37:11Speaker 2: So a couple of stats. Tiny Harding won the nineteen
- 37:13Speaker 2: eighty nine Skate America competition. She was the nineteen ninety
- 37:18Speaker 2: one and nineteen ninety four US champion, and then in
- 37:21Speaker 2: ninety one once it was became a silver medallist on
- 37:26Speaker 2: a national champion. So she was definitely the best of
- 37:29Speaker 2: the best pretty much. So I don't know where my
- 37:33Speaker 2: notes were, but pretty I know the story like the
- 37:36Speaker 2: back of my hand. So this is the Jeff take.
- 37:41Speaker 2: Tanya Hardy had a very very horrible childhood with like
- 37:45Speaker 2: abuse and alcoholism and violence and that kind of thing.
- 37:50Speaker 2: And from what it seems from like the research that
- 37:51Speaker 2: I've done, and I've watched on herding pretty much my
- 37:54Speaker 2: whole life, because this was like ninety four and then
- 37:57Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty four and I'm still like on her
- 37:59Speaker 2: Facebook lives. So then she got with a unfortunately his
- 38:05Speaker 2: name is Jeff. She got married to this guy, and
- 38:07Speaker 2: he was also very abusive and very controlling, and it's
- 38:10Speaker 2: almost like the torch got passed from the mom to
- 38:12Speaker 2: the husband with abuse and control. And he saw her
- 38:16Speaker 2: as tiny harding as his vehicle for fame and money,
- 38:20Speaker 2: and he was going to ride the coattails of this
- 38:22Speaker 2: really hard working woman. But there was this rivalry that
- 38:26Speaker 2: she just could not compete with, and that was Nancy Kerrigan,
- 38:29Speaker 2: and she was so tiny Harden was so close to
- 38:31Speaker 2: breaking through and becoming like the MVP, but Nancy Krigan
- 38:35Speaker 2: was standing in her way. So I forget the guy's names,
- 38:38Speaker 2: but Jeff he hired a couple of guys like a
- 38:43Speaker 2: uncle and nephew duo with I think it was also
- 38:47Speaker 2: Tinya Harding's trainer, if I'm not mistaken, helped Jeff hire
- 38:51Speaker 2: these two guys. And one day after I think they
- 38:55Speaker 2: almost got Nancy Kerrigan in a different say like Minnesota
- 38:58Speaker 2: or something, And some of my facts might be wrong
- 38:59Speaker 2: because I don't read my notes, but they didn't. They
- 39:02Speaker 2: couldn't have an opportunity. So then after a practice I
- 39:05Speaker 2: think in her home state, they went by her by
- 39:08Speaker 2: the locker rooms and hit her with he was like
- 39:11Speaker 2: a twenty two inch like metal or steel baton. Yeah,
- 39:16Speaker 2: and luckily the goal was to severely damage her and
- 39:20Speaker 2: like break her leg. Luckily there was no bruise. There
- 39:23Speaker 2: was bruising, but no broke, no brokenness. And I think
- 39:26Speaker 2: this was just a handful of days of not a
- 39:28Speaker 2: couple of days before one of the qualifying championships for
- 39:31Speaker 2: the next Olympics, and she was able to perform, which
- 39:35Speaker 2: is awesome because this is like not there's no bad
- 39:39Speaker 2: guy in this story besides the people that orchestrated the attack.
- 39:43Speaker 2: At this point, like Tanya Hardy hasn't done anything wrong. Yeah,
- 39:47Speaker 2: she she had before this, she had some threats. Yeah,
- 39:52Speaker 2: she had like threats against her and like that kind
- 39:54Speaker 2: of thing. But I don't who knows what happened. Who
- 39:58Speaker 2: knows what she knew Eventually she did find out and
- 40:01Speaker 2: how she got in trouble legally was she didn't turn
- 40:04Speaker 2: her husband in, Oh and turn turn the guys in
- 40:07Speaker 2: that did this to Nancy Carrer again, so that's one
- 40:09Speaker 2: of the things that she got in trouble for. And
- 40:11Speaker 2: again it's one of those things too. I don't know
- 40:14Speaker 2: what it is, but her and Monica Lewinsky were both,
- 40:18Speaker 2: in my opinion, interrogated lengthfully and maybe didn't have the
- 40:23Speaker 2: right representation with them or the both of the women.
- 40:27Speaker 2: They were focused on other things and they didn't know
- 40:29Speaker 2: maybe all of their rights at the time. I don't know.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Like so, I feel like Tonya Harding was also well
- 40:36Speaker 2: if you think.
- 40:36Speaker 3: About it, they're roughly around the same age too, So
- 40:38Speaker 3: I know, if I was like twenty one or twenty
- 40:40Speaker 3: two and I was getting interrogated by you know, the authorities.
- 40:44Speaker 3: I would be really fucking scared, like you're gonna probably
- 40:47Speaker 3: do stuff that you normally wouldn't do because you don't
- 40:49Speaker 3: know how to think. And I think that's one tactic
- 40:51Speaker 3: they actually use on people, is they try they try
- 40:53Speaker 3: to scare them so they get the information they want
- 40:56Speaker 3: or need, I guess. But yeah, it's funny too, because
- 41:00Speaker 3: not funny, I guess it's really sad.
- 41:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the opposite of fuddy her.
- 41:03Speaker 3: But both of these people were talking about they're both
- 41:06Speaker 3: getting taken advantage of just because maybe they're kind of
- 41:10Speaker 3: naive at this time, I don't know if that's the
- 41:12Speaker 3: right word, but also just because they kind of want
- 41:14Speaker 3: to be loved, you know what I mean, Like she
- 41:16Speaker 3: finally get enough love growing up, and so this guy
- 41:19Speaker 3: that's taking advantage of her, that's the love she thinks
- 41:21Speaker 3: she deserves. Same thing with Monica Lewinsky, and then they
- 41:25Speaker 3: just get fucking shit on for kind of just trying
- 41:27Speaker 3: to love someone, you know, sad.
- 41:29Speaker 2: And she got you know, love from from her fans
- 41:32Speaker 2: that did love her, that did see her as a
- 41:34Speaker 2: princess as well, and her whole life. I'm not sure
- 41:38Speaker 2: what it's like to be an athlete. But from everything
- 41:41Speaker 2: I've researched about athletes, their focus is on their sport,
- 41:45Speaker 2: like they live, breathe, to sleep their sport, and that's
- 41:49Speaker 2: what Tanya Hardin was. So they're threatening that today take
- 41:52Speaker 2: that away from her. So eventually she does does confess
- 41:57Speaker 2: that her boy that her boyfriend had something to do
- 42:00Speaker 2: with it. She never takes legal blame for knowing pro
- 42:06Speaker 2: uh pre attack that it was gonna happen, but afterwards
- 42:09Speaker 2: she apparently did know about it, and then she did,
- 42:13Speaker 2: you know, go and dastify. I get I think they
- 42:16Speaker 2: might have been ex spouses at the time, but they
- 42:18Speaker 2: were constantly breaking up, game back together kind of thing.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Anywhow Well, it's so sad too with like Nancy Kerrigan
- 42:24Speaker 3: because the why it was used so much, and like
- 42:29Speaker 3: it's just crazy how the media is like, hey, you
- 42:31Speaker 3: know that girl that's worked her whole fucking life for
- 42:34Speaker 3: this moment and she got bashed in the knee.
- 42:36Speaker 1: She said, why kind of funny when she got hit.
- 42:38Speaker 3: Let's let's use that comedy clip just all the time
- 42:40Speaker 3: on late night esthly, you know what I mean.
- 42:43Speaker 2: Or podcast like her it is right here so, uh yeah, exactly.
- 42:54Speaker 3: It's It's imagine if somebody used a sound clip of
- 42:57Speaker 3: like somebody getting shot and then like their last dying
- 42:59Speaker 3: breath and every oh that sounded when he died is
- 43:03Speaker 3: not that hilarious all, you know what I mean, It's
- 43:05Speaker 3: kind of the same thing about I.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Think that's the part that I do find a little
- 43:09Speaker 2: not joy in it. But I guess I don't know.
- 43:13Speaker 2: I'm I'm team Tanya hard I don't want I'm not
- 43:16Speaker 2: pro Nancy kerriganating attacked at all on the record for
- 43:20Speaker 2: it needed to happen, but and I don't think celebrities
- 43:25Speaker 2: need to play the game of being like a role model.
- 43:29Speaker 2: But here Tanya Harding was willing to do that and
- 43:31Speaker 2: wanted to do that, while Nancy Kergan, on the other hand, was,
- 43:35Speaker 2: on the other hand, was getting the benefits of that.
- 43:38Speaker 2: But she was caught on a hot mic bitching about
- 43:40Speaker 2: how awful a parade was to Mickey Mouse. Yeah, so
- 43:46Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just like, I don't know, like,
- 43:48Speaker 2: don't be distant on the people that are giving you everything.
- 43:50Speaker 3: Man, well with this one too, I feel like you
- 43:52Speaker 3: don't have to pick a side because you can definitely
- 43:54Speaker 3: see how Tony Harding was taking advantage of and Nancy
- 43:57Speaker 3: Kerrigan got assaulted, and you know, I think a lot
- 44:00Speaker 3: of it happened. Oh and didn't like Tony Harding, didn't
- 44:03Speaker 3: she like get kicked out, like she couldn't compete anything.
- 44:06Speaker 2: It was a really bad back licke that that scene
- 44:09Speaker 2: in the Itania movie when the judge rules that she
- 44:12Speaker 2: can no longer compete ever, Yeah, that's the part that
- 44:15Speaker 2: just broke her because that was what she was born
- 44:18Speaker 2: to do and raised to do, like that was her
- 44:20Speaker 2: life and she could no longer do that what she
- 44:23Speaker 2: was passionate about. That was that stung so hard.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Yeah, if somebody said I could never play video games
- 44:28Speaker 3: again out because I've been some of my earliest memories
- 44:32Speaker 3: is actually playing video games. Isn't that crazy?
- 44:35Speaker 1: And I don't even do it like a competitive level.
- 44:37Speaker 3: I've never got money or accolades for except for I
- 44:39Speaker 3: technically am the number one Tony Hawk pro skater player
- 44:43Speaker 3: in the Wlent Valley. Don't want to get in that.
- 44:45Speaker 3: But so other than that, though, you know, it's not
- 44:47Speaker 3: even a high level. And I can imagine someone was like, hey,
- 44:49Speaker 3: you can't do this as a hobby. Anymore, not even
- 44:52Speaker 3: like you can't do this is how you make your
- 44:54Speaker 3: living anymore.
- 44:56Speaker 2: So so rough a couple of fun facts and I
- 44:59Speaker 2: don't know the fun facts or not, but okay. So
- 45:02Speaker 2: another one of the ice skaters from that time was
- 45:03Speaker 2: Scott Hamilton.
- 45:04Speaker 1: That's what I'm talk about.
- 45:06Speaker 2: Yeah, so he was he was definitely one of the
- 45:09Speaker 2: main male performers. So he reported that he had a
- 45:14Speaker 2: conversation with Nancy Kerrigan. So wait, so after the attack happens,
- 45:18Speaker 2: Nancy Carrigan goes and like performs or like competes. I
- 45:21Speaker 2: think she gets two days later. Yeah, so she killed it.
- 45:25Speaker 2: But then and then the then both ladies went on
- 45:27Speaker 2: to go to the Olympics, and Tanya Harden did not
- 45:31Speaker 2: perform very well, probably because under the stress of the
- 45:33Speaker 2: whole situation. And then Mark campt not Mark Hamill, Scott
- 45:38Speaker 2: Scott Hamilton. There we go. I knew it was close
- 45:40Speaker 2: to Luke Skywalker. So anyway, yeah, so Tom han Tom Hank,
- 45:44Speaker 2: what's his name, Scott Scott Hambleton. He said that he
- 45:47Speaker 2: had a conversation with Nancy Carrigan and Nancy Carrigan when
- 45:50Speaker 2: she performed at the same day as Tanya herding or
- 45:54Speaker 2: competed wore the same outfit that she wore when she
- 45:57Speaker 2: was attacked, and she was and he said that she
- 46:01Speaker 2: quoted said, humor is good, it's empowering. So she almost
- 46:05Speaker 2: wore it like as a fuck you haha, like I'm
- 46:07Speaker 2: here like like a phoenix, and after you were at
- 46:12Speaker 2: least in the orbit of people that tried to take
- 46:13Speaker 2: me down. So I thought that was interesting. And then
- 46:16Speaker 2: Phil Knight, who's kind of a local celebrity right national too,
- 46:20Speaker 2: he's the founder of Nike. He donated to twenty five
- 46:25Speaker 2: thousand dollars to Tanya Hardin's legal defense. Oh wow, So
- 46:29Speaker 2: I thought that that was kind of like a okay,
- 46:31Speaker 2: good for you.
- 46:32Speaker 3: Well, I think it was so stacked against Tanya Harding anyways,
- 46:35Speaker 3: just because of her upbringing, they're gonna be like, of
- 46:37Speaker 3: course she would hire someone to hit Tanya hart or
- 46:39Speaker 3: hit Nancy character. You know, she didn't have a chance.
- 46:42Speaker 3: That's why nobody, I mean nobody really knows what she
- 46:45Speaker 3: knew beforehand or not. Only she would know in the
- 46:47Speaker 3: guy that was hired, but I don't think she was.
- 46:51Speaker 3: I think she's smart enough to know, Hey, if I
- 46:53Speaker 3: get in trouble I can't fucking.
- 46:56Speaker 2: Compete, yeah, or I hate to say this, but the
- 46:59Speaker 2: like harp breaking thing is if she did know what,
- 47:03Speaker 2: she had no power at her in her mind at
- 47:06Speaker 2: that time, So what could she have done like totle
- 47:09Speaker 2: on her on her husband and like faced his wrath
- 47:12Speaker 2: ye like and if he's hiring people to take out
- 47:14Speaker 2: Nancy Carrigan.
- 47:15Speaker 1: So I don't know, so I didn't think about that.
- 47:18Speaker 2: And then kind of another sad thing is in ninety four,
- 47:23Speaker 2: it sounds like there was a release of like sex
- 47:26Speaker 2: video of Jeff and Antonia Harding, and it sounds like
- 47:30Speaker 2: from my research it was very limited, but Tanya Hardy
- 47:33Speaker 2: and Jeff actually negotiated price. I don't know if it
- 47:36Speaker 2: was going to be distributed regardless, but they got I
- 47:41Speaker 2: think it was like six hundred thousand dollars for the video, So.
- 47:46Speaker 1: Especially in ninety four, it's yeah, a lot of money.
- 47:49Speaker 2: She's been on and recently game shows like The Weakest
- 47:54Speaker 2: Link Fifteen Minutes to Fame. In two thousand and two,
- 47:57Speaker 2: she was with Kita from the OJ Simpson one. He
- 48:02Speaker 2: was in the guest house when when O J murdered
- 48:05Speaker 2: allegedly uh Nicole Brown.
- 48:07Speaker 3: I was at a comic con one time, and as
- 48:09Speaker 3: you're walking in, he was the one like greeting everybody,
- 48:11Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, hey, so I saw him
- 48:13Speaker 3: in person.
- 48:14Speaker 2: Yeah, she that's he's handsome, very handsome since leaving skating.
- 48:21Speaker 2: And so she went on to do boxing too.
- 48:24Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah.
- 48:25Speaker 2: And this is where the one of the characters from
- 48:28Speaker 2: your story came in, is she boxed Paula Jones.
- 48:33Speaker 1: What.
- 48:33Speaker 2: Yeah, that blew. That was That was wild to me,
- 48:38Speaker 2: very heartbreaking too, like.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Because it wasn't Paula Jones, like a like a yeah,
- 48:44Speaker 3: the reason had I thought Paula Jones was like a
- 48:46Speaker 3: fucking politician or something.
- 48:48Speaker 2: She she met Bill Clinton when he was governor. I
- 48:51Speaker 2: think she was working somewhere in the orbit of politics.
- 48:55Speaker 1: Yeah, we really quick.
- 48:56Speaker 3: That sex tape now would be about one point three million,
- 49:00Speaker 3: so just today's money.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Yeah, that was another episode of another topic I was
- 49:03Speaker 2: gonna do, was the rise of sex tapes. Oh that's
- 49:05Speaker 2: because that's a yeah. And apparently she worked in the
- 49:09Speaker 2: hardware sales as as a hardware sales clerk at Sears.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Because I always forget that, like people that have this
- 49:16Speaker 2: brush with fadeom fate, fame, and or infamy still need
- 49:21Speaker 2: to pay their bills. So you see, like there was
- 49:23Speaker 2: like the guy from Cosby Show. He was working at
- 49:25Speaker 2: Trigger Joe's not Bill Cosby or don't drink that lemonade?
- 49:29Speaker 3: Just like Dustin Diamond from uh, you know, Saved by
- 49:33Speaker 3: the Bell. He had to try to get money, so
- 49:34Speaker 3: that's why he did those, uh and then he would
- 49:36Speaker 3: try to he was losing his house, so he would
- 49:38Speaker 3: sell t shirts that said help me save my house
- 49:40Speaker 3: and stuff, because what do you get. You can't be
- 49:42Speaker 3: screeched and work at fucking Walgreens, you know what I mean.
- 49:45Speaker 1: There's no way you could live that down. Like, yeah,
- 49:47Speaker 1: so that's stuff.
- 49:48Speaker 2: So there's a word I don't understand when it comes
- 49:50Speaker 2: to box scene is undercard? Is that just like who's
- 49:53Speaker 2: like the opener.
- 49:54Speaker 1: Kind of Yeah, so it's the main card and then yeah, yeah.
- 49:57Speaker 2: So what she made When Tanya Hardy made her debut,
- 50:00Speaker 2: she ended up losing to Paula Jones No no, no
- 50:04Speaker 2: Jones like a badass. I don't know who won that one,
- 50:08Speaker 2: but she went up against somebody named Samantha Browning and
- 50:12Speaker 2: they were undercard for Mike Tyson. Wow boxing that that's.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Crazy yeah, you know, millions of people probably saw those.
- 50:18Speaker 2: Yeah. She also tiny harding and like the later two
- 50:21Speaker 2: thousands got into land speed, so like raised like driving
- 50:26Speaker 2: fast like competitively. Everything's a competitive like maybe there's like adrenaline.
- 50:32Speaker 3: There needs for anybody to perform on those high levels.
- 50:35Speaker 3: There has to be something inside.
- 50:36Speaker 1: Of you that you need to be number one, you know.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Yeah, she landed the new land speed record for a
- 50:42Speaker 2: vintage GASH nineteen thirty one Ford Model A. I'm not
- 50:49Speaker 2: sure what that was, like it went ninety seven miles
- 50:52Speaker 2: an hour, so I guess that's pretty fast for that
- 50:55Speaker 2: type of vehicle.
- 50:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know for I think that
- 50:58Speaker 3: vehicle like topped out of like twenty.
- 51:02Speaker 2: She did perform on and compete on Dancing with the
- 51:05Speaker 2: Stars for season twenty six. That was one of the
- 51:07Speaker 2: times because that is one of my shows that I
- 51:09Speaker 2: did vote, because every vote matters. I am gonna be
- 51:14Speaker 2: voting this year. They just announced their list. I'm torn
- 51:17Speaker 2: because there's two people that I'm into. One of them
- 51:20Speaker 2: is the Anna Darvy, the fake Airass. They did a
- 51:25Speaker 2: mini series on Netflix. Okay fabulous, and but the one
- 51:29Speaker 2: I'm gonna vote for Donna Tory spelling. It's going to
- 51:32Speaker 2: be on. So I'm like, I gotta vote for Donna.
- 51:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, she's going through it. She needs this.
- 51:40Speaker 2: And then there's a rap group that I went a
- 51:43Speaker 2: couple of weeks and weeks ago with my kid called
- 51:46Speaker 2: Suicide Boys, and they have a song called Tanya Harding
- 51:51Speaker 2: Really yeah, oh.
- 51:52Speaker 1: You know, I think it sounds a little something like this, Okay, wow,
- 52:18Speaker 1: Yeah it's a crazy song.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, she's she's somebody that's like maybe it's
- 52:25Speaker 2: not it wasn't covered as much as like the Clinton scandal,
- 52:28Speaker 2: but it's definitely ingrained in our pop culture, especially if
- 52:33Speaker 2: you're like a millennial or Gen xer. Yeah, it's definitely
- 52:36Speaker 2: pickled in there or sprinkled in there.
- 52:38Speaker 3: I would say in America, if you're around our age
- 52:40Speaker 3: and in your thirties, I would say ninety nine point
- 52:43Speaker 3: nine percent of people know who Tanya Harding is easily.
- 52:46Speaker 2: And this is like another kind of one of those
- 52:49Speaker 2: like slightly redemption things. Is that with Monica Lebinsky, like
- 52:52Speaker 2: I said, she got to be executive producer producer on
- 52:56Speaker 2: a Ryan Murphy mini series. So Tanya Harding was consultant
- 53:02Speaker 2: on Itania so, and she does not come off great
- 53:08Speaker 2: in the movie. So that's what I'm like, Okay, she's
- 53:11Speaker 2: doing honest then, like she's honestly telling her story and
- 53:14Speaker 2: all of her flaws. Like who knows how accurate, but
- 53:19Speaker 2: I don't know. It just it gives me that chef's
- 53:21Speaker 2: kiss like approval that it's probably pretty accurate.
- 53:24Speaker 1: I feel that too.
- 53:24Speaker 3: Yeah, because there was this one like mini series documentary
- 53:28Speaker 3: I watched on Saved by the Bell and Dustin Diamond
- 53:31Speaker 3: was the producer, and it came off awful for everybody
- 53:34Speaker 3: but him, and like everybody else is like, you know,
- 53:37Speaker 3: he was nice, but he was you know anyway. So yeah,
- 53:39Speaker 3: that one seemed really false while watching it. So that's
- 53:42Speaker 3: you know, it's cool if they're able to actually tell
- 53:44Speaker 3: the truth. But I do think it kind of shows
- 53:46Speaker 3: how much society has changed to just because these are
- 53:48Speaker 3: both like, you know, women scandals, and even though the
- 53:54Speaker 3: women on both of them they were all they weren't
- 53:59Speaker 3: in the wrong, they were all the victims everything, you know,
- 54:03Speaker 3: everybody made fun of them constantly.
- 54:05Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fucking crazy.
- 54:06Speaker 4: You know.
- 54:07Speaker 2: I was telling my mom on the way on the
- 54:08Speaker 2: way over here, I told her what the what my
- 54:10Speaker 2: topic was. She was like, oh, I can't stand her,
- 54:13Speaker 2: but I'm like, right, like why though, like she's she
- 54:17Speaker 2: isn't annoying, she just was skating beautifully.
- 54:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's just yeah, And you know, I bet
- 54:21Speaker 3: if she had a different upbringing, nobody would even doubt
- 54:24Speaker 3: that she didn't know prior to the attack.
- 54:26Speaker 1: But just because of her upbringing, you.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Know, they get no ill will towards Nancy Kerrigan. But
- 54:31Speaker 2: I saw Nancy Kerrigan do like a cameo on Boy
- 54:34Speaker 2: Meets World. Yeah, I kind of sigde eye that a
- 54:36Speaker 2: little bit because I'm like, let's get Tanya herded up there. Yeah,
- 54:40Speaker 2: like trip like a triple axel like listener like YouTube
- 54:44Speaker 2: that that doesn't make sense, like physics. Yeah, like it
- 54:47Speaker 2: doesn't make sense how people can do that on their
- 54:49Speaker 2: bodies and in this in this universe, it doesn't make
- 54:52Speaker 2: sense to me.
- 54:53Speaker 3: So, really funny thing about that Boy Meets World episode
- 54:55Speaker 3: because I listened to that podcast podmets World, which I love,
- 54:57Speaker 3: but they had they actually had her on they were talking.
- 54:59Speaker 1: To NaN's Kargen.
- 55:00Speaker 3: But the funniest thing is Eric Matthews, the character he
- 55:04Speaker 3: goes in his dream sequence, the actor Wilford Dell had
- 55:08Speaker 3: to fly somewhere to do this, but they had him
- 55:12Speaker 3: cut his hair instead of the stunt man. So they
- 55:15Speaker 3: are weird, right, because yeah, he's like, this is kind
- 55:18Speaker 3: of weird, right, Why did I have to match the
- 55:20Speaker 3: stunt man?
- 55:20Speaker 1: You know? That's kind of funny.
- 55:22Speaker 2: The last thing that really bothered me about that scene
- 55:25Speaker 2: is that show was a multi camera sitcom, so it's
- 55:30Speaker 2: like a play and then when they do that scene,
- 55:33Speaker 2: it's on location and then they have a laugh track.
- 55:37Speaker 2: No one's watching this, Yeah.
- 55:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 55:40Speaker 3: They do the same thing with a few episodes of
- 55:41Speaker 3: Fresh Prince, and it's like it just feels like the
- 55:43Speaker 3: sounds of it.
- 55:45Speaker 2: I hate laugh tracks. I've talked to this. I'm going
- 55:48Speaker 2: to talk to this until I'm blue in the eyes.
- 55:50Speaker 2: I have blue eyes, Okay, until I'm red in the face.
- 55:52Speaker 2: Oh you know what I am up to my eyeballs
- 56:01Speaker 2: with this? Yeah, is that there's a laugh track on
- 56:05Speaker 2: the Flintstones and the Jets sense it's a cartoon. Yeah,
- 56:08Speaker 2: I know, right, I don't get that.
- 56:10Speaker 1: Well, Like the gross thing too, is the laugh track
- 56:12Speaker 1: they use.
- 56:13Speaker 3: They recorded those in like the fifties, so all those
- 56:16Speaker 3: people are probably dead, so you're just listening like dead
- 56:18Speaker 3: people laughing, right. Yeah, but Boyet's world, they didn't have
- 56:22Speaker 3: a laugh track. Actually, they actually did record in front
- 56:24Speaker 3: of a live studio, but not that scene.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the Yeah, I love. I would love to
- 56:29Speaker 2: go see a live me too.
- 56:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 56:31Speaker 1: I want to go so bad. I don't care what
- 56:32Speaker 1: show it is. I will definitely check it out.
- 56:34Speaker 2: Yeah, show well cool. I think I'm happy that we
- 56:37Speaker 2: got to cover some scandals from the nineties.
- 56:40Speaker 3: Yeah, no, definitely, I want to do There's so many
- 56:41Speaker 3: that we can talk about, and you know, in the
- 56:43Speaker 3: two thousands too, because we're going to try to make
- 56:45Speaker 3: it more of like a millennial.
- 56:46Speaker 1: Podcast and that we've been saying that for fifteen episodes
- 56:48Speaker 1: or whatever.
- 56:49Speaker 2: But and even like we can dive into like j
- 56:52Speaker 2: Lo I know she's going through it, but let's we're
- 56:54Speaker 2: not gonna give her a pass just because she's going
- 56:57Speaker 2: through it. Yeah, but also don't you don't don't eat
- 57:00Speaker 2: your leftovers twenty years later?
- 57:02Speaker 1: Come on, Yeah, because they're in bender breaking them not right.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Yeah, they were together, then twenty years different change, and
- 57:07Speaker 2: then now they're back together and now they're broken up.
- 57:10Speaker 2: Oh I did see that coming. She's six engagement rings.
- 57:14Speaker 2: That's crazy, Like I'm not Disney in her because she's
- 57:16Speaker 2: like at all, Like I don't matter, but like six,
- 57:19Speaker 2: you need to stop.
- 57:19Speaker 3: I own two rings. I have my classroom from high
- 57:22Speaker 3: school and then I have a Batman ring.
- 57:23Speaker 2: Yeah I fucking love that. Yeah, but six, Like, after
- 57:26Speaker 2: you've been divorced a couple of times, I think it's
- 57:28Speaker 2: time to like be like, this isn't for me.
- 57:30Speaker 1: Yeah, no, yeah, I get it. Just yeah, I mean,
- 57:33Speaker 1: you have enough money, you don't need more. You know.
- 57:35Speaker 3: Well, she's probably religious. I'm assuming, right, so maybe it's
- 57:37Speaker 3: something like that. It's interesting. I don't know, but I'm
- 57:40Speaker 3: just assuming she is.
- 57:41Speaker 2: I don't want to Disney not divorced people. But Ben
- 57:43Speaker 2: Affleck's a lot happier. And I saw a meme. I
- 57:45Speaker 2: don't know if I sent it to you or not.
- 57:49Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm gonna look this up really like
- 57:51Speaker 2: hold on. Oh okay, So this is a meme that's
- 57:56Speaker 2: gonna only be funny or make sense to a very
- 58:01Speaker 2: certain type of person that's listening. That's the Sex and
- 58:04Speaker 2: the City joke. So Jennifer Gardner is Gardener is aiden
- 58:09Speaker 2: and Jalo is mister Big. I loved Sex and the
- 58:13Speaker 2: City as a little gay boy in like the early
- 58:15Speaker 2: two thousands. That one sticks because Aiden is such a
- 58:19Speaker 2: good man and a good person and should be her
- 58:22Speaker 2: true love. But mister Big is all flashy and superficial.
- 58:28Speaker 2: So Ben Affleck is Carrie Jennifer Gardner who her name is,
- 58:35Speaker 2: is Aiden because I think that they're meant to be together. Yeah,
- 58:39Speaker 2: Ben Affleck. And then I watch A Gone Girl.
- 58:42Speaker 1: I haven't seen it.
- 58:43Speaker 2: Oh you get to see Ben Affleck's penis, and so
- 58:48Speaker 2: read any movie where there's male nudity.
- 58:52Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like you were talking one time. You want
- 58:54Speaker 1: to bring back side Big?
- 58:55Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, bring backside Dick? And how many? How
- 59:00Speaker 2: how many movies has Kevin Bacon shoon as Wien are
- 59:02Speaker 2: in two six six six times? I love it like
- 59:08Speaker 2: I am here for it. And him and Kara Cedric
- 59:10Speaker 2: who kind of she looks like a Pelican. They are
- 59:14Speaker 2: the cutest couple.
- 59:15Speaker 3: Anyways, really quick, Christen, that whole Sex and the City thing.
- 59:19Speaker 3: I think you can explain it to me.
- 59:20Speaker 2: Later, Chris Kristen, Oh, okay, perfect, It's so good. But
- 59:25Speaker 2: also sidebar, Carrie is supposed to be with Big because
- 59:28Speaker 2: they're both superficial douches. Aiden is too good for Carrie.
- 59:32Speaker 2: So what's her name? Kristen? Yeah, Kristen. I hope you
- 59:34Speaker 2: agree with me. Listener, it's true.
- 59:37Speaker 3: Okay, well cool, No, that's our you know, very first.
- 59:40Speaker 3: It's episode one oh one. It's from kind of the
- 59:43Speaker 3: New Era, I guess of notable messalgiat.

- 1:00:10Speaker 2: Yeah.

- 1:00:18Speaker 2: pike pipe pipe.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: A pike pike is like a stabbing thing.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: Okay, either way, I need to learn these sayings before
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: I say I'm probably. But anyways, that's all I have,
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: all right until next time I'm Jeff, and.
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: I am I'm gonna say Andy.

- 1:00:59Speaker 2: is bad, but who's a good Andy.
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: So this is kind of a funny thing.
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: When I was a kid, we asked, we got asked
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: who we were named after, and I said, oh, Andrew Jackson.
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: Now that I'm an adult, his nickname is Andrew the
- 1:01:12Speaker 3: Indian Killer Jackson.
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: He killed more Indians than like anybody else.
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: I like Andy McDonald. He's a pro skater. He was
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: the oldest skater this year at the Olympics at fifty three.

- 1:01:43Speaker 2: TLC right now, right now. They're together, right now, right now.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: And I didn't realize that. I guess I've been seeing
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: Chili on Conservative, which we embraced everybody here for the
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: most part. But she's been like on Fox News and stuff.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: I that like because you can see what people like
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: on certain videos, and I troll Fox News a lot,
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: and I see Chili commenting, and she's friends with Candace Owen. Yeah,
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: And every time sidebar, sidebar, every time I see a
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: new Britney Spears post, I always see that you liked, Like,

- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Candace cam Bray. That's what it might have been.
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: So every episode of I don't know, I keep talking
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: about on the podcast, they always so one. They have
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: two episodes a week. One they recapped the show, the

- 1:02:58Speaker 3: wasn't there and anybody else was in there was when
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: Kandas was on there, And I wonder if it's because
