Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Scrible advice shot, not even nice. I'm your host, Rob Shooter.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I hope you had a lovely, lovely week. Joining us
- 0:18Speaker 1: today is the lovely, lovely Corey Andrew Corey. Are you there?
- 0:22Speaker 1: I am here. Hello, They're Happy Friday. Happy Friday, Darling.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Are you coming to us live from your bathroom? You
- 0:28Speaker 1: sound awfully great? Thank you, my Mariah Carey. Acoustics totally
- 0:32Speaker 1: why you're a singer, Corey, as well as a fabulous
- 0:34Speaker 1: host of a fabulous podcast. But why do people sometimes
- 0:37Speaker 1: sound better in the bathroom? What is that about? Oh gosh,
- 0:40Speaker 1: the acoustics are amazing because of the way the sound
- 0:43Speaker 1: bounces off of certain fabrics and materials. Like yeah, so
- 0:47Speaker 1: it's some people like Mariah actually said, if she can't
- 0:50Speaker 1: get to the recording studio, the bathrooms the next best
- 0:53Speaker 1: place if you want to sound like Pavarotti at home.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Everybody sing in the shower today? What time is it, Corey?
- 0:58Speaker 1: It is time? Okay, this is a wild story, Cory
- 1:02Speaker 1: I lead story of the day. Ellen is showing her
- 1:06Speaker 1: staff with a bunch of workplace perks. Right, so, Ellen
- 1:10Speaker 1: has implemented several new kind of wonderful perks for her
- 1:14Speaker 1: weary staff, including increasing their pay. We like that time off,
- 1:19Speaker 1: paid time off even better, and also a very liberal
- 1:23Speaker 1: medical leave policy following the dramatic, dramatic accusations about the
- 1:28Speaker 1: host and the show, So staffers now, in addition to
- 1:32Speaker 1: what they were getting before, have received an additional five
- 1:35Speaker 1: paid work days off at their discretion. No reason needs
- 1:39Speaker 1: to be given there. Also, you get your birthday off,
- 1:42Speaker 1: that's nice in the Ellen show, and you were still
- 1:45Speaker 1: paid when you have to go to a doctor's appointment
- 1:48Speaker 1: would deal with family matters. So the news was announced
- 1:51Speaker 1: by Ellen Sr. Producers at a town hall. Ellen was
- 1:55Speaker 1: on that call and did get teary eyed. You know what,
- 2:00Speaker 1: my company, Nory Gossip, was going to implement these wonderful
- 2:03Speaker 1: measures which we can't can't afford them, but if we could,
- 2:06Speaker 1: I wouldn't let the EP announced that. I would want
- 2:08Speaker 1: to announce that did elements an opportunity their Corey, What
- 2:11Speaker 1: do you think should have she announced it? You always
- 2:13Speaker 1: want to be the bringer of good news. What do
- 2:15Speaker 1: you think? Absolutely what I missed opportunity and and it
- 2:18Speaker 1: also feels disingenuous because it's not coming from her. So yeah,
- 2:23Speaker 1: the minute Ellen has to come from you so inside,
- 2:25Speaker 1: I say the new perks were approved by Ellen, who
- 2:28Speaker 1: has now started rehearsals for her NBC hit Game of Games,
- 2:33Speaker 1: and in a couple of weeks production is going to
- 2:35Speaker 1: start on the Ellen Show. Also, the EP told the
- 2:38Speaker 1: staff do not be afraid if you have any problems,
- 2:42Speaker 1: come and talk to us. A new HR person's being
- 2:44Speaker 1: hired who will be at the show all the time.
- 2:47Speaker 1: And there's a few legal issues too. So what are
- 2:49Speaker 1: the ousted producers? What are the producers? Who has been
- 2:52Speaker 1: fired after being accused of sexual harassment, racism and adopting
- 2:57Speaker 1: an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. He has responded to
- 3:02Speaker 1: being fired through his atturning never a good sign, saying
- 3:07Speaker 1: that he was escape goated. Do you think we're going
- 3:10Speaker 1: to see a big lawsuit over this? What do you think, Corey? Oh? Absolutely,
- 3:13Speaker 1: because you know a lot of that stuff was reportedly
- 3:16Speaker 1: coming from Ellen directly. A lot of those things they
- 3:19Speaker 1: were carrying out, So she's not going to get away
- 3:21Speaker 1: scott free with this. It is interesting. If you want
- 3:24Speaker 1: term somebody else to take the fall, I think you
- 3:27Speaker 1: have to make sure their fall is padded with cash.
- 3:30Speaker 1: There If I'm going to jump in front of a
- 3:33Speaker 1: buzz for you, there better be a pot of gold
- 3:36Speaker 1: under that buzz, which brings us to a phole question
- 3:40Speaker 1: of the day. Ellen is showering her staff with extra
- 3:44Speaker 1: workplace perks. Will this work? Yes or no? Insiders do
- 3:49Speaker 1: reveal that the staffs morale has suddenly lifted a little bit.
- 3:53Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I know. What happened
- 3:56Speaker 1: was wrong. We don't feel good about it, but a
- 3:57Speaker 1: lot of people can't just leave a job. So all
- 4:00Speaker 1: the people on the moral high horse, including me, it's
- 4:03Speaker 1: very easy to say you would quit until it happens
- 4:06Speaker 1: to you. Corey. Have you ever worked in a really
- 4:08Speaker 1: toxic place you knew it, it was awful, but you
- 4:10Speaker 1: needed the money. Has that ever happened? Yes? Of course,
- 4:13Speaker 1: I'm probably more times than than than not. So yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 1: it's just it's part of it, and until you become
- 4:18Speaker 1: Ellen Honey, you have to deal with that. I have
- 4:21Speaker 1: to put up with some of this stuff unfortunately. So
- 4:23Speaker 1: go vote on our Twitter page at Naughty Nice Rob.
- 4:26Speaker 1: You can leave her comment on our Facebook page Naughty Gossip.
- 4:29Speaker 1: You know we love giving you shout outs on the show.
- 4:31Speaker 1: It's not my show or Corey Show. It's all our
- 4:33Speaker 1: shows we want to involve. You leave a comment on
- 4:35Speaker 1: our Facebook page and be sure to check back on
- 4:37Speaker 1: Monday to hear your results. What are you working on, Corey? Well,
- 4:41Speaker 1: this is kind of an interesting story. Tracy Ellis revealed
- 4:44Speaker 1: that she did not want her Blackish character doing chores
- 4:47Speaker 1: on the show, so speaking with The l A Times podcast,
- 4:50Speaker 1: she said she spoke up from beginning about the fact
- 4:52Speaker 1: that her character was always doing dishes, or cooking or laundry,
- 4:56Speaker 1: doing all these sort of like lady chores, as she
- 5:00Speaker 1: called them. And I think she's sort of insinuating sexism.
- 5:03Speaker 1: And so for her, she feels like relationships in real
- 5:06Speaker 1: life are more give and take, right, Different people have
- 5:09Speaker 1: different perspectives in a relationship, So the more we portray
- 5:12Speaker 1: that in TV, the more that will be implemented in reality. Right,
- 5:16Speaker 1: So why not have the men cooking or the boys
- 5:18Speaker 1: doing laundry. So that's her take on it, Rob, I
- 5:21Speaker 1: don't know if she's been overly sensitive or if there
- 5:24Speaker 1: really is sexism there. What do you think about that?
- 5:26Speaker 1: I think representation really matters. When I was a young
- 5:29Speaker 1: boy back in eighty two, you've been Britain then, when
- 5:33Speaker 1: I think in Britain there were never any gay people
- 5:36Speaker 1: on TV. There was a few very effeminate people. There
- 5:39Speaker 1: were always the butt of many a joke, but they
- 5:41Speaker 1: were never sort of out. The show Will and Grace
- 5:45Speaker 1: really changed, you know, people's perceptions about what it was
- 5:49Speaker 1: like to be gay. So I do think I do
- 5:52Speaker 1: believe representation really matters. And every time you turn on
- 5:55Speaker 1: the TV, if a lady is doing the laundry or
- 5:58Speaker 1: the dishes treated like a suburban housewife, I think that
- 6:03Speaker 1: is a real mistake. And I also think too people
- 6:05Speaker 1: won't put up with it anymore. I really really like
- 6:08Speaker 1: her and I like too that she felt that she
- 6:10Speaker 1: had the power to do this. So good for you.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Let us know what you think. This story makes me smile.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So Jennifer and the Stern, we love her. She's living
- 6:20Speaker 1: in a bubble with four families. So she's in a
- 6:23Speaker 1: bubble with four families whose children have all grown up together,
- 6:27Speaker 1: four of them. They rotate their homes. I bet Jennifer
- 6:30Speaker 1: has the nicest. So they take their homes and they
- 6:33Speaker 1: never go outside the pod. All the kids know each
- 6:36Speaker 1: other very well and have a great time. Jennifer said,
- 6:38Speaker 1: it's actually really lovely. What is she doing during quarantine?
- 6:42Speaker 1: She's watching a lot of TV like the rest of us.
- 6:44Speaker 1: She's catching up on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy,
- 6:48Speaker 1: also reading James Baldwin's very important and brilliant book about
- 6:53Speaker 1: the about racism here in America. She used to be
- 6:56Speaker 1: addicted to trauma life at the R so she's watching
- 7:00Speaker 1: lots of doctor Nurses shows, particularly at the moment when
- 7:04Speaker 1: we're really focusing on healthcare workers. Do you think Brad
- 7:08Speaker 1: is one of the four in the bubble? Oh, my gosh,
- 7:12Speaker 1: that would be a bursting bubble, honey, that bubble. How
- 7:17Speaker 1: have you been about this? Have you sort of closed
- 7:18Speaker 1: down your your exposure to other people? Do you have
- 7:21Speaker 1: a little bubble yourself? Corey? You know, we really do,
- 7:24Speaker 1: Joe and I. We turned down invitations. People say, oh,
- 7:27Speaker 1: it's just a smart gathering, just one or two people.
- 7:30Speaker 1: I'm like, honey, it just takes one to give me COVID,
- 7:32Speaker 1: So I'm really careful about it. Bruce and I and
- 7:35Speaker 1: Darby a really careful. Plus, my friends, I can't trust them.
- 7:38Speaker 1: I've got very very untrustworthy friends. To a friend of
- 7:42Speaker 1: mine as me to meet him for a drink, there's
- 7:44Speaker 1: the Highline Hotel that has a little outside cafe and
- 7:46Speaker 1: we're going to meet there for a glass of iron
- 7:48Speaker 1: or two. But I said, I couldnot trust you. I
- 7:51Speaker 1: don't know where it's being. I'm keeping a very close
- 7:55Speaker 1: bubble to what's happening with miss Taylor Swift. What's going on?
- 7:58Speaker 1: This is yeah, this is such a story. So Taylor
- 8:00Speaker 1: Swift made a cameo on Selena Gomez's new show. So
- 8:04Speaker 1: I'm not sure if anyone's seen it, but it's great.
- 8:06Speaker 1: It's Selena plus Chef where she has like these celebrities
- 8:10Speaker 1: who kind of teach her how to cook through throughout
- 8:12Speaker 1: her quarantine. It's really really a fun show. So Taylor
- 8:15Speaker 1: made a brief cameo appearance, and then one minute teaser
- 8:18Speaker 1: from the clip says shows Selena making Korean barbecue, and
- 8:22Speaker 1: Taylor says, I'm very jealous of your whole setup and
- 8:25Speaker 1: the fact that you guys are cooking together. It's pretty
- 8:27Speaker 1: great and I'm really envious, and Gomez responds, I just
- 8:31Speaker 1: wanted to show you because I'm so proud and like
- 8:33Speaker 1: a good friend. Taylor of course responded back to her, well,
- 8:37Speaker 1: I'm very proud of you, and you know how long
- 8:39Speaker 1: I've been waiting for you to become obsessed with cooking?
- 8:42Speaker 1: So they really really great friends. They are so honorable.
- 8:45Speaker 1: On the show was April I Think I'm Sorry August
- 8:47Speaker 1: thirteen debut. Yeah, great show. It's it's so cute and
- 8:52Speaker 1: think you made me think about friends and who would
- 8:55Speaker 1: help you when you needed a little bit of an
- 8:58Speaker 1: extra bus, a little bit of exposure. Delana and I
- 9:01Speaker 1: miss d and I did a morning show on v
- 9:03Speaker 1: H one for a few years. But before we got
- 9:05Speaker 1: the show, we had to do a pilot, and in
- 9:07Speaker 1: order to tape a good pilot, we had to have
- 9:08Speaker 1: a celebrity, someone famous, call into the show. You won't
- 9:12Speaker 1: believe all the people that said no. Honestly, I've got
- 9:15Speaker 1: a pretty big roller Deckside kind of a lot of
- 9:18Speaker 1: famous people. It's what I do for a living. They're
- 9:20Speaker 1: not my friends, but I do know them. I went
- 9:23Speaker 1: through practically all of them, and the only one that
- 9:24Speaker 1: said yes without hesitating Joan Rivers. Honestly, Joan Rivers, the
- 9:31Speaker 1: legendary Joan Rivers, was on a pilot, a pilot on
- 9:35Speaker 1: the Edge one. I'm sure agents and managers were like,
- 9:37Speaker 1: you're too big for this. But she did it. I
- 9:39Speaker 1: also to add a little test for a radio show
- 9:41Speaker 1: before I got this fabulous podcast, Thank you very much.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I heard radio and I needed celebrities to call in.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Barry Manilow called in, Lisa Renner called in, and Dinis
- 9:50Speaker 1: Richards calling. I know, who would you who would you
- 9:53Speaker 1: be able to get a favor from? Do you think Corey?
- 9:55Speaker 1: Is there a Is there a celebrity in your phone book?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Someone well known? Who would you call? I do believe
- 10:01Speaker 1: I could get Sancho Bernhardt, who I do adore and
- 10:05Speaker 1: love and had a little you know, time in New
- 10:07Speaker 1: Europe knowing her. Um gosh, and in my mind of
- 10:10Speaker 1: course like share. But that's a complete We've got to
- 10:14Speaker 1: share story later on in the shows. The hold for
- 10:16Speaker 1: that Curston Duncet Kirsten dunced is questioning why she's popped
- 10:21Speaker 1: up on Kanye West's campaign materials. So the actress is
- 10:25Speaker 1: totally baffled that Kanye sent out a tweet with his
- 10:28Speaker 1: new presidential materials splattered all over the tweet, including her face.
- 10:34Speaker 1: So most days Kanye takes to Twitter. A couple of
- 10:37Speaker 1: days ago, he shared a poster that included his Kanye
- 10:40Speaker 1: West twenty twenty Vision logo. The logos very strange. In
- 10:45Speaker 1: between the logo is her face smiling at us, and
- 10:49Speaker 1: also a photograph not to be messed with, a vogues
- 10:52Speaker 1: and a winter So Kirsten responded saying, I'm not really
- 10:57Speaker 1: sure what this message is and why am I a
- 11:00Speaker 1: part of it? Have you ever had somebody drag you
- 11:03Speaker 1: into something that you didn't really want to do but
- 11:06Speaker 1: they just did it, Corey, has that ever happened? Um?
- 11:10Speaker 1: I can't say at that level, but sometimes friends have
- 11:13Speaker 1: kind of put me in between like arguments, and I'm like,
- 11:15Speaker 1: don't ask me, I have no idea, but nothing like
- 11:18Speaker 1: this ever. No. I get asked to do a lot
- 11:21Speaker 1: of charity hosting and a few a few events, and
- 11:25Speaker 1: sometimes when restaurants are open, they can't get a real
- 11:27Speaker 1: celebrity so they called me and I don't know. I mean,
- 11:31Speaker 1: I'm very lucky to be invited. I'm really grateful of that,
- 11:34Speaker 1: but some nights I just want to sit on the couch.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I just want to sit on the couch. Let me

- 11:48Speaker 1: stories about them? Oh? They have? I get that all

- 12:52Speaker 1: And be sure to check back on Monday to hear
- 12:55Speaker 1: your results are now it's time nice and nice. Then
- 13:03Speaker 1: this is really interesting because Share, of all people, you know,
- 13:06Speaker 1: she's strong enough, but not strong enough to live without
- 13:09Speaker 1: the post office, honey, So she's evidently looking to save
- 13:11Speaker 1: it now. Share has been calling the post office, is
- 13:14Speaker 1: looking to volunteer. And it's so funny because like people
- 13:17Speaker 1: on her face, her her Instagram, fillowers all thinks she's
- 13:20Speaker 1: sort of crazy and they weren't really enthusiastically backing her
- 13:23Speaker 1: in her quest to come to the post office just rescue.
- 13:26Speaker 1: But eventually no Share explained that she just was calling
- 13:29Speaker 1: around asking if she could volunteer. Can you imagine going
- 13:32Speaker 1: to the post office and there, Share like, can you
- 13:35Speaker 1: bossom stamps? I mean that would be out of control.
- 13:39Speaker 1: What do you think you would die if you saw that? Rob,
- 13:42Speaker 1: It's a great I would go every single day to
- 13:47Speaker 1: my Share was at the post nailed myself letters just
- 13:51Speaker 1: to go and see Share. I've met her a few times,
- 13:54Speaker 1: so when she was lasting New York for her album,
- 13:56Speaker 1: I was invited to her launch party. She did it
- 13:58Speaker 1: all and I walked down this staircase. There was in
- 14:02Speaker 1: a tiny, little private room and there was not that
- 14:04Speaker 1: many of us, but there was share I was like Gobs.
- 14:08Speaker 1: It was like meeting something sort of unreal. It was
- 14:12Speaker 1: so wild. She was charming and she was very share
- 14:15Speaker 1: your and nicest of the day and now and naughtiest
- 14:18Speaker 1: of the day. Kelly Osborne has just revealed that she
- 14:21Speaker 1: went under gastric sleeve surgery. So she had gastric sleeve surgery.
- 14:27Speaker 1: So we've been talking about Kelly's massive five pounds weight
- 14:31Speaker 1: loss for the last couple of days. She didn't exactly
- 14:34Speaker 1: reveal that early how it all happened. In fact, she
- 14:37Speaker 1: implied that it was from working out and eating well.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Now she's done a new interview on Hollywood Roar with
- 14:44Speaker 1: Dax and Adam. I love those two guys, and she's
- 14:47Speaker 1: revealed she did have gastric sleeve surgery. She said, though
- 14:51Speaker 1: it doesn't change that much, it just changes the shape
- 14:54Speaker 1: of her stomach. She got it done two years ago
- 14:57Speaker 1: and she will never ever ever lie about it. It's
- 15:00Speaker 1: the best thing she's got done, she's ever had done.
- 15:03Speaker 1: She insists, almost a little bit defensive here though, that
- 15:06Speaker 1: she still has to follow a very careful diet and
- 15:09Speaker 1: work out. I don't think Kelly wants us thinking that
- 15:12Speaker 1: she did this through surgery and not an enormous amount
- 15:15Speaker 1: of effort. And in her defense here they do go
- 15:18Speaker 1: both hand in hand. But I think Kelly, two years ago,
- 15:22Speaker 1: why didn't you mention this? I mean, she's somebody that
- 15:24Speaker 1: sort of lives her life. I thought, very very out
- 15:27Speaker 1: there in the open. But this is still something that
- 15:29Speaker 1: might be a little bit shameful. If you did surgery,
- 15:32Speaker 1: plastic surgery or gastric surgery, would you? Would you talk
- 15:36Speaker 1: about it? Corey would? Why would? Because I think it
- 15:38Speaker 1: helps other people? And in fact I do talk to
- 15:40Speaker 1: a lot of people when I do stories about health
- 15:42Speaker 1: and fitness, and they are open about it because it
- 15:45Speaker 1: can help others. I would, yeah, I think so. I'm
- 15:49Speaker 1: not I'm not judging here that she did it. Good
- 15:51Speaker 1: for you do do whatever you need, but I think
- 15:53Speaker 1: it would have been a little bit more forthcoming, shall
- 15:55Speaker 1: we say, a couple of years ago and that time
- 15:58Speaker 1: for our moments are rubbing gonna rub? What do you
- 16:02Speaker 1: get get a wrong? Whether or not you want something?
- 16:04Speaker 1: You want? One so I started the long journey of
- 16:08Speaker 1: discovering my self worth feeling pretty much worthless. I didn't
- 16:13Speaker 1: feel that good, but step after step, day after day,
- 16:16Speaker 1: reminding myself somewhat unconvincingly in the beginning that I mattered
- 16:22Speaker 1: and it finally led to a place where it started
- 16:25Speaker 1: to work. So knowing you're worth and putting yourself first
- 16:30Speaker 1: isn't easy. We're always taught to put others first, don't
- 16:33Speaker 1: put yourself first. And step after step, day after day,
- 16:38Speaker 1: believing I was important changed my life. Where are you
- 16:43Speaker 1: on this guy? I agree on? Once I began to
- 16:45Speaker 1: accept me and all my flaws, words and all, that's
- 16:49Speaker 1: when positive change in my life happened. You have to
- 16:51Speaker 1: love yourself first and go for it. Love yourself first,
- 16:55Speaker 1: Trust Uncle Roberts and answer that you are important, Corey,
- 17:02Speaker 1: say it with me, what are you? You are important? Absolutely?
- 17:07Speaker 1: Before we go, I just want to give a quick
- 17:09Speaker 1: shout out to a friend, a friend of the show, Terry,
- 17:12Speaker 1: who has a really heavy heart at the moment she
- 17:14Speaker 1: lost a dear friend, Christie. Terry said she was and
- 17:19Speaker 1: always will be the definition of love. I believe that, Terry,
