- 1:03Speaker 2: very tan and glowing, Guy Branum. Welcome back.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Hello. Good to be here. This is my summer of
- 1:08Speaker 3: vitamin D. Most fat people are low in vitamin D,
- 1:12Speaker 3: and so I've been– Like my political and self-care action
- 1:16Speaker 3: for the summer has been getting sun.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Good. Why not?
- 1:19Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:20Speaker 2: I mean, you know what? How many more years do
- 1:22Speaker 2: we have left on this earth for everyone?
- 1:24Speaker 3: It's so true.
- 1:24Speaker 2: So why not enjoy the sun?
- 1:26Speaker 3: No. I mean, we are all Carol Radziwill with five
- 1:28Speaker 3: good summers left.
- 1:30Speaker 2: We really are. I'm not going to advocate a tanning bed.
- 1:35Speaker 2: That is a time that I never want to come
- 1:37Speaker 2: back in my life. But definitely go sit in the sun.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Put on some sunscreen, but go sit in the sun.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Okay. The YouTuber who I have let run my life,
- 1:47Speaker 3: there's a man who has like health YouTube things and
- 1:50Speaker 3: he's very hot and I just do whatever he says.
- 1:52Speaker 3: But he insists that you will not get sunburns. Like
- 1:54Speaker 3: the bro science thing now is you will not get
- 1:56Speaker 3: sunburns if you don't consume seed oils. So seed oil.
- 2:00Speaker 2: The other thing I've noticed is that younger kids, um,
- 2:04Speaker 2: like teenagers and stuff will be, will be like, Oh, the, um,
- 2:09Speaker 2: ozone index is an eight today. So you'll be able
- 2:12Speaker 2: to get tan. Like they want to get tan. And
- 2:14Speaker 2: I go, I don't even know what you're, is that
- 2:15Speaker 2: a bad thing? And they're like, no, it means the
- 2:17Speaker 2: sun's really strong. So we're going to get tan today.
- 2:20Speaker 2: And they all like follow that. And they have like
- 2:22Speaker 2: some app that, I mean, it's wonderful.
- 2:24Speaker 3: I am scared that I'm just going to be full
- 2:26Speaker 3: of skin cancer because But I go to a dermatologist
- 2:28Speaker 3: a lot.
- 2:29Speaker 2: That's good. Again, sunscreen people wear a hat.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Okay. Let's talk about the VMAs. They were on last
- 2:36Speaker 2: night on MTV. And people were very excited about a
- 2:40Speaker 2: few things. NSYNC, including Justin Timberlake, finally came, danced with
- 2:46Speaker 2: Lance Bass and everybody else.
- 2:49Speaker 3: But they all wore full-color suits except for Justin. Even
- 2:53Speaker 3: in this moment, he needs to be... Why can't he
- 2:56Speaker 3: be gracious? Why can't he just be one of the
- 2:58Speaker 3: boys again?
- 2:59Speaker 2: Good point. Good point. But I loved it. I loved
- 3:03Speaker 2: it for my friend Lance Bass. And I think they
- 3:06Speaker 2: all looked great. And Taylor Swift is the most enthusiastic
- 3:10Speaker 2: audience member that's also a star that has ever lived.
- 3:14Speaker 3: I always feel a little bit like it just wears
- 3:17Speaker 3: on me a little bit that she needs to be gracious.
- 3:20Speaker 3: She knows how tall and thin and blonde she is.
- 3:22Speaker 3: And she knows that everyone's ready to say... You have
- 3:25Speaker 3: it too easy.
- 3:26Speaker 2: And so successful.
- 3:28Speaker 3: And so how much she's present for other people makes
- 3:32Speaker 3: me uncomfortable and it makes me want for her to
- 3:35Speaker 3: just have something for herself. The way that when Gwyneth Paltrow,
- 3:38Speaker 3: do we talk about how we're okay with Gwyneth Paltrow
- 3:40Speaker 3: now because she's over 50 and thus we can classify
- 3:43Speaker 3: her as a witch?
- 3:44Speaker 2: Oh, no, I didn't know that you did that.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't know that you started this movement.
- 3:49Speaker 3: So we like, for 10 years, we were like, oh,
- 3:52Speaker 3: she's so full of herself. She's so uppity. And then
- 3:54Speaker 3: at the trial, we were just like, fabulous.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Oh, right, the trial of where she won about, wait,
- 4:00Speaker 2: what was the trial about?
- 4:01Speaker 3: Oh, she like knocked into that man.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Oh, yes, the ski trial. I loved her during the
- 4:06Speaker 2: ski trial. Also being someone who's a skier and a
- 4:08Speaker 2: bad skier, I don't want to be sued.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I loved her during the ski trial too, but I
- 4:12Speaker 3: just love that we were able to be like, She's
- 4:14Speaker 3: a diva. She exists on her own terms. And I
- 4:16Speaker 3: really think as somebody around her age that it is
- 4:19Speaker 3: because she achieved a different point in her life when
- 4:21Speaker 3: we're not demanding relatability out of her.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Good point.
- 4:25Speaker 3: I just hate that we do that to Taylor Swift,
- 4:29Speaker 3: but also she keeps making good music and it's doing fine,
- 4:31Speaker 3: so I don't care.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Let me ask you about Gwyneth. Because we've talked about
- 4:34Speaker 2: Gwyneth and we've talked about Jessica Alba, though I do
- 4:37Speaker 2: think Gwyneth is a more obviously established actress and has
- 4:41Speaker 2: the chops. Do you think she'll ever get back into
- 4:46Speaker 2: acting or she just makes so much money on goop
- 4:48Speaker 2: she does not want to bother sitting in a trailer
- 4:50Speaker 2: by herself?
- 4:51Speaker 3: I would love to see her take the risk because
- 4:53Speaker 3: there's the thing when people have enough established success around them,
- 4:56Speaker 3: there's no incentive to take risks. And, you know, I
- 4:59Speaker 3: think it could very easily be her coming back for
- 5:01Speaker 3: one thing, it not being a hit out of the
- 5:04Speaker 3: park and her being like, never again. But it's, things
- 5:08Speaker 3: make me so happy. Cher in the 80s being like,
- 5:13Speaker 3: I have things very established, but I'm going to go
- 5:15Speaker 3: out on a limb and, you know, act and try
- 5:19Speaker 3: real hard and then having real success at it makes
- 5:21Speaker 3: me so happy.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Okay, so when Cher broke out in the 80s and
- 5:25Speaker 2: it was such a big deal that she was over
- 5:28Speaker 2: 40 and wearing a G-string and nylons that showed her
- 5:33Speaker 2: ass tattoo. And I just remember she had a commercial
- 5:36Speaker 2: about something And she's like, here's three women in their
- 5:40Speaker 2: 40s dancing in the rain. And it was like, oh,
- 5:42Speaker 2: my God, I can't believe a 40-year-old is dancing in
- 5:46Speaker 2: the rain. I really think that she did change it
- 5:50Speaker 2: for a lot of people that, like, 40's not old,
- 5:52Speaker 2: 50's not old, 80's not old. So I love that.
- 5:56Speaker 2: But I will say about Gwyneth, I love the movies
- 5:59Speaker 2: that she's been in. I love Talented Mr. Ripley. I
- 6:02Speaker 2: loved– Um, my, um, A Perfect Murder.
- 6:07Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Um, I talk about that one a lot. I love,
- 6:10Speaker 2: I like watching her. I like her acting. I would
- 6:14Speaker 2: love to see her in something, you know, Netflix eight
- 6:19Speaker 2: episode series, juicy, like the one that, um, like the
- 6:24Speaker 2: one about, um, um, The one with... Big Little Lies?
- 6:29Speaker 2: Big Little Lies. Like a Big Little Lies kind of
- 6:31Speaker 2: a thing. I'm sure there's a book out there that
- 6:34Speaker 2: Reese Witherspoon hasn't realized yet. So if you're working for Reese,
- 6:37Speaker 2: go find that book, give it to Reese, let her
- 6:40Speaker 2: produce it, have Gwyneth Paltrow star, let it be a
- 6:43Speaker 2: rich person story. Yeah. We don't need to see her
- 6:46Speaker 2: being anything but a rich person in cashmere pajamas.
- 6:49Speaker 4: Right.
- 6:50Speaker 2: And a beautiful home, gorgeous aesthetic, and some... Infidelity, murder,
- 6:57Speaker 2: and a twist happens among eight episodes that I can
- 7:00Speaker 2: get off on.
- 7:01Speaker 3: That does sound very juicy.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Now write it, guy.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Okay. About the VMAs, I was at High Tops, a
- 7:09Speaker 3: gay bar last night that we've been to together. And
- 7:13Speaker 3: I went to the bar and this guy in his
- 7:15Speaker 3: 20s pointed at the screen and was like, do you
- 7:16Speaker 3: know who that is? And I was like, no, I don't.
- 7:18Speaker 3: I'm very old. And he was like, I don't know either.
- 7:21Speaker 3: And it was very difficult to realize just how many
- 7:24Speaker 3: of the acts that I had no idea who they were.
- 7:26Speaker 3: I was excited to see Renee Rapp from– do you
- 7:29Speaker 3: watch Six Times of College Girls?
- 7:31Speaker 2: I've watched a little.
- 7:31Speaker 3: It's great. It seems like something you would enjoy. But
- 7:34Speaker 3: the star of that who is so funny, she's a
- 7:39Speaker 3: recording artist and she was there in Great Presence. Was
- 7:43Speaker 3: there actually a fist fight between Megan Thee Stallion?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Well, it was all coming in. Something happened between Justin
- 7:49Speaker 2: Timberlake and Megan Thee Stallion. Now, according to People Magazine
- 7:54Speaker 2: and a few other reports, we can now say, no,
- 7:58Speaker 2: not at all. She was getting her hair and makeup done.
- 8:01Speaker 2: He walked by and she was like, hey. And he goes, hey.
- 8:05Speaker 2: And she goes, no, I want to meet you in person.
- 8:07Speaker 2: And he's like, hi, like we're doing it now. And
- 8:09Speaker 2: she was like, no, no, no. This doesn't count. I
- 8:13Speaker 2: want to hang out with you. So it was very
- 8:15Speaker 2: flattering on both sides and absolutely not a fight.
- 8:17Speaker 3: All right. I would like to say a couple of things.
- 8:18Speaker 3: The first thing is that's why we love red carpets.
- 8:21Speaker 3: It's because you have celebrities with their own kind and
- 8:24Speaker 3: we're getting to watch and they're having organic interactions. And also, like,
- 8:28Speaker 3: a realer award show than this, you have people– like,
- 8:32Speaker 3: award shows are good because we put– famous rich people
- 8:35Speaker 3: in jeopardy. We, like, dangle something in front of them
- 8:38Speaker 3: and we get to see them want something. And then
- 8:40Speaker 3: when they have a real reaction to it, you're like, ah, juicy.
- 8:44Speaker 3: And I just... Joan was so good at the red carpet.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Joan Rivers, yeah.
- 8:48Speaker 3: And, like, we're not... We don't do that anymore because
- 8:51Speaker 3: everybody got really scared about the idea that it needed
- 8:54Speaker 3: to be body-shamey or that it needed to be critical.
- 8:56Speaker 3: But I also think, like, we do love talking about
- 9:00Speaker 3: these outfits. Like, we... Is there a way that we
- 9:03Speaker 3: can recapture what the joy of the red carpet was?
- 9:06Speaker 2: I saw a bunch of the red carpet looks and
- 9:08Speaker 2: I thought they were all pretty fabulous.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:11Speaker 2: I can't remember who, one girl had a pink thing
- 9:14Speaker 2: with like a bone coming through it. But I don't,
- 9:16Speaker 2: I mean, that was probably, that was the craziest thing
- 9:18Speaker 2: I saw. A lot of nakedness looking stuff, but nothing like,
- 9:22Speaker 2: overly shocking. Pretty tame, I thought.
- 9:25Speaker 3: I mean, it was like seeing Nicki Minaj in like
- 9:29Speaker 3: three different colors of like her business suit affair, you know,
- 9:32Speaker 3: sort of like her big leather duster or whatever. Like
- 9:37Speaker 3: it felt subdued, though music stuff is always bolder than
- 9:42Speaker 3: like the Academy Awards or the Emmys or something like that.
- 9:44Speaker 3: Like when I worked at Fashion Place, it was always
- 9:46Speaker 3: so much more fun to get to do the Grammys
- 9:48Speaker 3: because like Bonnie McKee would show up in something ridiculous
- 9:51Speaker 3: just to try to get attention. But.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Tell us about when you worked on the MTV Awards.
- 9:56Speaker 3: So the thing is, what makes me sad about, look,
- 9:59Speaker 3: I do not want there to be violence going on,
- 10:01Speaker 3: but I do like shit going on. And I worked
- 10:05Speaker 3: on the VMAs in 2015, and that was the year
- 10:08Speaker 3: when Miley Cyrus and I think Nicki Minaj, yeah, it
- 10:11Speaker 3: was definitely Nicki Minaj, were having beef with each other
- 10:15Speaker 3: and watching the way that these things were planned. Watching
- 10:20Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj strategize with her team about her approach to everything,
- 10:24Speaker 3: being so clinical in managing all of it, was really
- 10:28Speaker 3: impressive to me. And the thing is, I like these stories.
- 10:32Speaker 3: To some extent, are they professional wrestling? Are they us
- 10:35Speaker 3: being sold sort of like a heightened version of what
- 10:38Speaker 3: reality is? Are people manufacturing drama for the sake of
- 10:40Speaker 3: manufacturing drama? 100%, but I like seeing it done well.
- 10:44Speaker 2: So do you think that they had a real beef
- 10:47Speaker 2: Nikki and Miley or no.
- 10:49Speaker 3: I mean, that one I don't think was real. I
- 10:51Speaker 3: think there are definitely other situations where people legitimately hate
- 10:54Speaker 3: each other or, you know, don't like each other.
- 10:57Speaker 2: I think a lot of it, now I have a
- 10:59Speaker 2: different perspective. I think a lot of it is Fans
- 11:03Speaker 2: getting involved and fans and people saying, oh, she dissed
- 11:07Speaker 2: you in this live. She dissed you in this interview.
- 11:10Speaker 2: What do you think about her diss? And then it
- 11:12Speaker 2: was like, well, I don't appreciate that. And the two
- 11:16Speaker 2: people never get on the phone and say, okay, let's
- 11:20Speaker 2: keep the beef going or let's squash it or whatever.
- 11:24Speaker 3: I think everyone's publicist just understand that. That like an
- 11:28Speaker 3: article about what you eat for breakfast in the morning
- 11:30Speaker 3: is not going to get the kind of traction that
- 11:32Speaker 3: is about you made a Instagram post that might have
- 11:36Speaker 3: been shading someone. Like they can get so much traffic
- 11:40Speaker 3: off of that.
- 11:40Speaker 2: So true. A handful of almonds and a handful of
- 11:44Speaker 2: berries as a snack.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Salmon for dinner.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Turkey salad for lunch.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Yes.
- 11:52Speaker 2: We've seen that article for the last 25 years.
- 11:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:55Speaker 2: And you're right, no one cares.
- 11:56Speaker 3: No one cares.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I feel like we haven't seen that very much, and
- 12:00Speaker 2: I want to thank everybody for stopping with a handful
- 12:03Speaker 2: of almonds.
- 12:04Speaker 3: Yes.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Though it does make a good snack.
- 12:06Speaker 3: It does make a good snack. It's full of the
- 12:09Speaker 3: right kind of fats. But I do like this being
- 12:15Speaker 3: a world suffused with drama. I honestly wish more of
- 12:18Speaker 3: the little girlies who have these singles out. I do
- 12:21Speaker 3: sort of feel like the VMAs have been captured. by
- 12:24Speaker 3: like the record companies and the managers trying to make
- 12:26Speaker 3: their clients happen. And I just want one of those
- 12:29Speaker 3: clients to get in a fight with someone so that
- 12:32Speaker 3: then I'll know who they are. You know, like I'm
- 12:35Speaker 3: never going to really know who these people are until
- 12:37Speaker 3: they get in a fight with someone established.
- 12:39Speaker 2: Very, very true. Very true. Here I am. Someone did
- 12:43Speaker 2: find this photo for me. This is, I talked about
- 12:46Speaker 2: last week about how Miley Cyrus, back when she did
- 12:49Speaker 2: her 2014 tour, that's where she was humping teddy bears
- 12:53Speaker 2: and kind of.
- 12:54Speaker 3: That was the VMAs that I worked on.
- 12:55Speaker 2: Maybe it didn't officially come out as bi, but it
- 12:58Speaker 2: seemed like she was pretty bi and now she's bi,
- 13:00Speaker 2: that I had to get in the outfit and hump
- 13:04Speaker 2: the teddy bears and a fan found it. So here
- 13:07Speaker 2: I am. as her and i love her music no
- 13:12Speaker 2: she's so.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Great she's like one of the great personalities that we
- 13:16Speaker 3: have and it makes me sad that she's a nepo
- 13:18Speaker 3: baby but also it makes you understand why it all
- 13:20Speaker 3: works i mean dolly parton is her godmother but like
- 13:24Speaker 3: she's just so natural and seems relatable and actually continues
- 13:29Speaker 3: to make good interesting music there are some people i'm
- 13:32Speaker 3: sorry for yeah yeah I get mad that Adele is
- 13:36Speaker 3: a good enough singer that she's never going to have
- 13:38Speaker 3: to host a game show because Adele could host a
- 13:40Speaker 3: game show.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Adele wants to be a stand-up comic.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Yes.
- 13:43Speaker 2: I mean, she literally, every clip I see, she's talking
- 13:46Speaker 2: more than she's singing in the Vegas show.
- 13:48Speaker 3: And like Miley, I honestly believe that Miley's career will
- 13:51Speaker 3: evolve enough that I will get to see her have it.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Like maybe, does she have a daytime show 15 years
- 13:57Speaker 3: from now? Absolutely. And she could pull it off. I
- 14:00Speaker 3: think daytime show is like, such a high level of
- 14:05Speaker 3: like relatability is required. Second only to cooking show.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Okay. Can I just say about Miley? Cause I thought
- 14:10Speaker 2: you brought up a good point. I kind of forget
- 14:12Speaker 2: that technically she's a Nepo baby in the sense that
- 14:15Speaker 2: her dad was established musician and singer. So that would
- 14:18Speaker 2: have helped put her in front of the line for
- 14:20Speaker 2: the show. What was the show called again?
- 14:23Speaker 3: Hannah Montana.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Hannah Montana. But, I feel like people don't associate her
- 14:28Speaker 2: with that because she was worked as a child star,
- 14:33Speaker 2: like overly worked, fed coffee, having to wear a wig
- 14:37Speaker 2: and eyelashes and all this other stuff. So she has
- 14:41Speaker 2: sympathy as being like almost a little bit, you know,
- 14:46Speaker 2: child labor laws abuse, as well as being a little
- 14:49Speaker 2: bit of a nepo.
- 14:50Speaker 3: When I was working at Hacks, we tried to figure
- 14:52Speaker 3: out a system of categorizing nepo babies and It was
- 14:56Speaker 3: grade one to grade three.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Oh, you told me that. And you told me what
- 14:59Speaker 2: my kids would be.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Yes.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Obviously, bottom of the barrel.
- 15:02Speaker 3: I feel like, but I feel like a Chris Pine. Yes.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Like his dad was on a TV show, 100%, could
- 15:08Speaker 3: maybe make some connections. And I feel like. Chris Pine
- 15:11Speaker 3: is definitely like a level three nepo baby, as your
- 15:14Speaker 3: children would be.
- 15:15Speaker 2: And so is Jed Aniston.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
- 15:17Speaker 2: A soap dad. Working actor soap dad.
- 15:20Speaker 3: And it could have gone in any direction.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Right.
- 15:22Speaker 3: You know, Mira Sorvino. And I feel like.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Where is Tracee Ellis Ross?
- 15:27Speaker 3: Oh, Tracee Ellis Ross, I would say, is like... like
- 15:32Speaker 3: grade two or grade one. I mean, great. Like her
- 15:34Speaker 3: dad's also in the industry.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:36Speaker 3: Her mom's a mega star.
- 15:38Speaker 2: You know, what I got from Tracy Ellis Ross, because
- 15:40Speaker 2: we were on our first shows together, the lyrics of
- 15:43Speaker 2: sound is I was impressed when I went to her apartment.
- 15:47Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that someone had an apartment like this.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:50Speaker 2: Um, that hadn't really had a job before. That's what
- 15:54Speaker 2: I understood what it's like to be a nepo baby
- 15:56Speaker 2: or have a trust fund or whatever. You don't have
- 15:58Speaker 2: a roommate. You have like an actual nice, decent apartment. But,
- 16:03Speaker 2: and she told me like how she got the job
- 16:06Speaker 2: that I got, which was I just put a video camera,
- 16:11Speaker 2: which I'm like, wow, you own a video camera in
- 16:12Speaker 2: my apartment. And she did all these different characters and
- 16:16Speaker 2: then gave that tape to her agent that she obviously
- 16:19Speaker 2: got easily through her mom at William Morris. And then
- 16:22Speaker 2: they submitted it. And then she got paid. The part.
- 16:26Speaker 2: But the way I got the part was I couldn't
- 16:28Speaker 2: even audition at all.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Right.
- 16:30Speaker 2: And then they found the white girl in the show,
- 16:32Speaker 2: and then that girl didn't work out. And then the
- 16:35Speaker 2: writers on that show that I worked with on Keanu Reeves,
- 16:37Speaker 2: they suggested me, and then I got the part.
- 16:39Speaker 3: The number of jobs I have gotten because they hired
- 16:42Speaker 3: somebody else who seemed like the right idea, and then
- 16:44Speaker 3: that person didn't work out, and they were like, guy
- 16:45Speaker 3: will work. Right. And frequently got paid half as much
- 16:49Speaker 3: as the person before me and was very aware of it.
- 16:51Speaker 3: But it's also, those are also called opportunities.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Then, okay, so then we become friends and everything's great.
- 16:57Speaker 2: And she introduces me to this fabulous like Japanese restaurant
- 17:00Speaker 2: on 3rd.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Yes.
- 17:01Speaker 2: That was the first time I had like Lotus Root.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Yes.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Okay, losing my mind.
- 17:04Speaker 3: What was that place called? That was like the good
- 17:06Speaker 3: sushi restaurant.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Yeah, it was sushi and like cooked.
- 17:09Speaker 4: Yes.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Anyway, she tells me later on, Heather, I'm no longer
- 17:14Speaker 2: going to be part of the show, even if it continued,
- 17:17Speaker 2: but I don't think it did. Because I got this
- 17:19Speaker 2: pilot that's going for UPN.
- 17:22Speaker 3: Was it Girlfriends?
- 17:23Speaker 2: And it was Girlfriends. And she said the showrunner and
- 17:26Speaker 2: the writer and the creator was at the restaurant and
- 17:30Speaker 2: didn't know who she'd get for Joan, saw Tracy.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 17:33Speaker 2: And was like, that is who should do it. Then,
- 17:35Speaker 2: of course, Tracy auditioned and she killed it and she
- 17:37Speaker 2: was perfect for it. So I do say that like.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Whether you're Kim Kardashian and you became famous one way or, like,
- 17:44Speaker 2: nobody keeps giving you jobs unless you have the craft
- 17:47Speaker 2: and you can do it.
- 17:48Speaker 3: I mean, the thing is, she's had two hit sitcoms.
- 17:50Speaker 2: She's great.
- 17:51Speaker 3: You can't, being Diana Ross's daughter doesn't do that for you.
- 17:54Speaker 3: She's terribly talented. But also, I just love that Camille
- 17:59Speaker 3: Grammer has girlfriends money. Like, it just thrills me to
- 18:03Speaker 3: no end.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Wait, she?
- 18:05Speaker 3: Kelsey was EP and she.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Because there was another girlfriend type of show that Camille
- 18:11Speaker 2: was doing that I auditioned for Camille.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Oh, really? For Camille Grammer?
- 18:15Speaker 4: Yes.
- 18:16Speaker 3: That she was an actress on?
- 18:17Speaker 2: No, that she was going to help produce.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 18:19Speaker 2: That she was producing. It was another type of a
- 18:21Speaker 2: bunch of girls.
- 18:22Speaker 4: Yes.
- 18:23Speaker 2: You know, everyone was trying to do like a friends
- 18:24Speaker 2: meet sex in the city kind of thing.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 18:27Speaker 2: And I didn't get that one either, but I remember
- 18:29Speaker 2: I did audition for her, and she remembered me because
- 18:31Speaker 2: I had a part on Frasier, and she was super nice.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Oh, that's awesome.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think the show went, but I
- 18:36Speaker 2: didn't get it anyway because I never got anything.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Like, Kelsey Grammer was the producer of Girlfriends, always seemed
- 18:41Speaker 3: ridiculous to me, but also- It's not because he works
- 18:46Speaker 3: on good stuff, and that show was so good.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so good.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 18:50Speaker 2: Okay, moving on. Dancing with the Stars.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Mauricio's journey.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Mauricio, now, there's a huge list. I'm not even going
- 18:58Speaker 2: to get it out. The ones we care about is
- 19:00Speaker 2: Ariana Grande, which we knew. Mauricio, this was leaked about
- 19:03Speaker 2: a week ago because some detective saw some thirst photo
- 19:08Speaker 2: that he took of himself and realized he was in
- 19:10Speaker 2: the dance studio of some former whatever. And then Jamie
- 19:14Speaker 2: Lynn Spears is doing it as well.
- 19:16Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
- 19:17Speaker 2: And what I heard is that Jamie, and I heard
- 19:20Speaker 2: this on a different radio show, so Jamie said, I'm
- 19:24Speaker 2: going to give my salary to the writer's strike or
- 19:29Speaker 2: the SAG or something. And then other people were like, yeah,
- 19:33Speaker 2: because you're probably not going to last that long and
- 19:34Speaker 2: you get paid per episode. I don't know how you-
- 19:36Speaker 2: That's surprising.
- 19:37Speaker 3: To me because I would think that Jamie needs the money.
- 19:39Speaker 2: I don't know if she's doing this or if this
- 19:41Speaker 2: is even accurate, but I would think she needs the
- 19:43Speaker 2: money too. Take the money, girl.
- 19:44Speaker 3: And this is also an interesting time for her to
- 19:47Speaker 3: be coming back because as I understand it, she was
- 19:49Speaker 3: pretty much up. a bad guy in the whole narrative.
- 19:52Speaker 2: That's why I think that she's doing this.
- 19:54Speaker 3: And it's also like Brittany has been in control of
- 19:57Speaker 3: herself for long enough that we are starting to understand
- 20:01Speaker 3: and see the complexity of Brittany. I don't think in
- 20:03Speaker 3: any way that Brittany is a human being who should
- 20:05Speaker 3: have been under a conservatorship. for a decade, like that
- 20:09Speaker 3: anyone should have their rights taken away.
- 20:11Speaker 2: I'm just going to move up to the Britney part
- 20:13Speaker 2: since we're talking about this. Oh, getting back to Jamie though,
- 20:17Speaker 2: Jamie was on that other show, Special Forces. Oh, okay.
- 20:21Speaker 2: That's with Dr. Drew and she like basically saved Dr.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Drew's life. He was on like the first day. It's
- 20:26Speaker 2: like they're like Navy SEALs or the version, the English
- 20:30Speaker 2: version of Navy SEALs that do all this stuff. Right now,
- 20:34Speaker 2: Tom Sandoval's on it, but she was on it and
- 20:35Speaker 2: she lasted... A decent amount of time. And he thought
- 20:39Speaker 2: she was great and really nice and never spoke about
- 20:42Speaker 2: Britney on that show.
- 20:42Speaker 3: I don't think she has enough personality, and I could
- 20:45Speaker 3: be wrong, to be a great reality show person.
- 20:48Speaker 2: I think because she's a Nepo sibling. Do you think
- 20:50Speaker 2: people are meaner about Nepo siblings than Nepo loins from
- 20:55Speaker 2: your loins?
- 20:56Speaker 3: There are always those situations where, like, Justine Bateman, Jason Bateman,
- 21:02Speaker 3: where they were both sort of, like, very talented and
- 21:05Speaker 3: have had careers of like different energies where you get
- 21:08Speaker 3: sort of like worried or you feel responsible for them.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Or those twins who are Katie Segal's sister. Like that's
- 21:17Speaker 3: always interesting to me when people like.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
- 21:20Speaker 3: That show from the early 80s with the twins. It
- 21:22Speaker 3: was a sitcom. You 100% remember that show. But they
- 21:26Speaker 3: were Katie Segal's sisters and now Katie Segal, you know,
- 21:30Speaker 3: has a much better career than them. Anyway, the point is,
- 21:32Speaker 3: It's very hard to be a Nepo sibling. I don't
- 21:34Speaker 3: understand going into the career of the people in your family.
- 21:37Speaker 2: I think the people that have done it right are
- 21:38Speaker 2: the Wayans brothers.
- 21:40Speaker 3: I mean, 100%, but also that's like a system that
- 21:43Speaker 3: keeps promoting itself. So many of them are talented and
- 21:47Speaker 3: it just keeps coming. Damon Wayans Jr. did a lot
- 21:51Speaker 3: for that family.
- 21:52Speaker 2: And so did, no, Kenan is the first one that
- 21:55Speaker 2: did it.
- 21:55Speaker 3: No, I know that Kenan, the first generation of all
- 21:59Speaker 3: of them, they were also talented and But then having
- 22:02Speaker 3: somebody else from the second generation pop up who just
- 22:05Speaker 3: like everyone wanted to.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Oh, Damon Wayans Jr. Yes. Yes, he's great.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:11Speaker 2: No, what was great about them too is that the
- 22:13Speaker 2: ones that were not in front of the camera, they
- 22:16Speaker 2: employed and they were like really good at their jobs too,
- 22:21Speaker 2: whatever that was.
- 22:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 22:23Speaker 2: And– But yeah, it is interesting. I feel that she's
- 22:27Speaker 2: gotten a lot of hate because the book came out
- 22:30Speaker 2: and they didn't feel like she was on her side.
- 22:32Speaker 2: But let's get into the latest on Britney because I
- 22:35Speaker 2: don't think you know the latest about her new love.
- 22:38Speaker 5: I do not. Christmas shopping has already started in our house.
- 22:41Speaker 5: My daughter is so organised, already planning Christmas gifts from Macaulay.
- 22:46Speaker 5: Hair care for her aunt and a fab fragrance for
- 22:48Speaker 5: her bestie. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
- 22:51Speaker 5: I'm an early bird, buying one present a week from
- 22:53Speaker 5: now till Christmas, which makes budgeting less stressful. I can
- 22:56Speaker 5: buy in-store or online from Macaulay.ie for home delivery or
- 23:00Speaker 5: free click and collect.
- 23:02Speaker 2: So easy.
- 23:03Speaker 5: Gifts they'll cherish at prices you'll love.
- 23:08Speaker 4: I'm Darman, and this is What Happens Next. Each week
- 23:11Speaker 4: on the show, I sit down with extraordinary people who
- 23:14Speaker 4: have faced tremendous setbacks and yet somehow have found a
- 23:19Speaker 4: way to turn them into their greatest strengths.
- 23:21Speaker 3: Life is one long lesson of chaos.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I'm heading to the Emmys and I have police complaints
- 23:27Speaker 2: filed against me.
- 23:28Speaker 3: When your free will was about to be taken from you,
- 23:30Speaker 3: what would you do if it was given back?
- 23:33Speaker 4: Where did that need come from where you thought that
- 23:36Speaker 4: you had to succeed in order to feel loved?
- 23:38Speaker 3: He said, I have a work dad. I need a
- 23:39Speaker 3: home dad. What happens next?
- 23:41Speaker 2: When I came in, he started crying.
- 23:43Speaker 4: Everybody in life encounters hardships. What defines them is not
- 23:47Speaker 4: those hard moments that they go through. It's about what
- 23:50Speaker 4: happens next.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I decided to risk it all. I realized how valuable
- 23:54Speaker 2: every day was.
- 23:54Speaker 3: You're worth the work. Listen, Dara, I'm not going to
- 23:57Speaker 3: pull punches.
- 23:58Speaker 2: You can use your voice even if it's shaped.
- 24:00Speaker 4: The stories are different, but the impact is the same.
- 24:03Speaker 4: Only one question matters. What happens next?
- 24:14Speaker 2: So there was stories a few weeks ago that the
- 24:16Speaker 2: reason that Sam filed for divorce is that she was
- 24:20Speaker 2: cheating with a male housekeeper, which seemed strange. Then I heard, no,
- 24:28Speaker 2: it's the male gardener. Yes, this is him. Yes, they
- 24:33Speaker 2: are dating.
- 24:34Speaker 3: It's amazing.
- 24:35Speaker 2: And he does something on the property. Now they're calling
- 24:38Speaker 2: him a construct, like he was doing construction on the property.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, Sam Asghari is possibly the hottest
- 24:44Speaker 3: human being on the planet.
- 24:45Speaker 2: And one of the things- Hotter than Brody Jenner.
- 24:48Speaker 3: Yes, 100%. Totally disagree. Why?
- 24:51Speaker 2: I just think Brody Jenner is the best looking person.
- 24:55Speaker 2: Just best looking person.
- 24:56Speaker 3: I just love that however much Brittany was constrained and
- 25:00Speaker 3: wasn't allowed to be herself, we also understood her taste
- 25:04Speaker 3: in men and that she's an erotic being.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:09Speaker 3: I like that because as somebody who was eroticized so young,
- 25:12Speaker 3: there's always this danger of feeling that sexuality was pushed
- 25:17Speaker 3: at them in such a way that they don't have
- 25:18Speaker 3: a relationship with it. Natalie Portman has sort of talked
- 25:21Speaker 3: about the ways that she didn't feel comfortable for so
- 25:23Speaker 3: much of her life being engaged with her sexuality because
- 25:26Speaker 3: there was so much coming at her from a young age.
- 25:29Speaker 3: And I just love that we always knew... Brittany likes
- 25:32Speaker 3: to have a good time and we know what type
- 25:34Speaker 3: of guy she likes to have a good time with.
- 25:36Speaker 3: And this makes me happy because even though.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Oh my God, no, it's not when I tell you more.
- 25:40Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 25:41Speaker 2: It's not going to make you happy.
- 25:42Speaker 3: No, no.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Okay. Now, I heard stuff about this a couple weeks ago.
- 25:47Speaker 3: Okay.
- 25:48Speaker 2: And now that this is out on Us Weekly, he's
- 25:50Speaker 2: been interviewed. He says, I'm not going to speak on it,
- 25:53Speaker 2: but they're naming him Paul Richard Solis. He was making
- 25:59Speaker 2: some appearance at like a Chatsworth courthouse. He has two
- 26:06Speaker 2: baby mamas, one I think that is deceased and one
- 26:10Speaker 2: that he's getting a restraining order against.
- 26:12Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 26:13Speaker 2: There's all this kind of stuff. He's got custody of
- 26:15Speaker 2: two of the kids. He's trying to get custody of
- 26:16Speaker 2: the others. He has some criminal background, which involves driving
- 26:23Speaker 2: without a license, negligence of a child, also Something having
- 26:28Speaker 2: a gun without a license.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Okay.
- 26:30Speaker 2: All little things.
- 26:31Speaker 5: Okay, anyway, wait.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Let me say this here before you say the big
- 26:35Speaker 3: bad thing. That all makes me happy because the Louisiana
- 26:39Speaker 3: is in her blood. You just sort of know this
- 26:41Speaker 3: is who she would still be if none of all
- 26:44Speaker 3: of this had happened to her.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Like Jason Alexander, her first husband.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Like, yes. And that this dude is a fucking dude.
- 26:51Speaker 3: And that like, yes, she looks at Sam Asgari and
- 26:53Speaker 3: is like beautiful pecs, beautiful abs. Absolutely. She likes a
- 26:58Speaker 3: nice looking man. But that this guy just sort of
- 27:00Speaker 3: like raw masculine power of like, look at him cut
- 27:03Speaker 3: down that tree. Okay.
- 27:06Speaker 2: So now the rumors are that he has moved in.
- 27:09Speaker 2: A couple of his kids have moved in. And that's
- 27:12Speaker 2: where I get nervous as someone who cares for Britney,
- 27:16Speaker 2: is that when people start to infiltrate a rich person's
- 27:21Speaker 2: life that doesn't have family around, and maybe people say
- 27:23Speaker 2: they got her family's not around, but the family's not around.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Then and she's so happy to have people and he's,
- 27:30Speaker 2: you know, banging her good and and providing her for
- 27:33Speaker 2: with which whatever they might do together that might not
- 27:36Speaker 2: be so healthy, healthy that may cause her to spin for,
- 27:39Speaker 2: you know, 10 days straight. I don't know. But I
- 27:43Speaker 2: if I was her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears or parents,
- 27:48Speaker 2: this would not make me happy. And I would have
- 27:51Speaker 2: much preferred Sam to have stayed.
- 27:53Speaker 3: I would have much preferred Sam to have stayed because
- 27:54Speaker 3: Sam always was clearly dumb enough that he wasn't going
- 27:57Speaker 3: to pull any big moves to try to take over
- 28:00Speaker 3: her life. That said, her family controlled her life for
- 28:04Speaker 3: so long that she gets to fucking do what she
- 28:06Speaker 3: wants to do. And if she wants to hand over
- 28:09Speaker 3: everything of herself to somebody else. That is her agency.
- 28:12Speaker 3: And if it ends up fucking her in the end,
- 28:14Speaker 3: at least she made those decisions.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Well, I think he is fucking her and I think
- 28:17Speaker 2: that's what's great.
- 28:18Speaker 3: It does. That's the one good part. It does make
- 28:22Speaker 3: me worry that she is this person who is so
- 28:24Speaker 3: likely to let other people, you know.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I mean, this is, you know.
- 28:28Speaker 3: She's looking for somebody to take care of her and
- 28:31Speaker 3: it's so hard.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Sam Lufty.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was the creepy version. Sam Luffy has
- 28:36Speaker 2: asked to come on my show many times. He will not.
- 28:38Speaker 2: I do kind of, I'd love to hear his point
- 28:41Speaker 2: of view. He's defended himself many times in the last
- 28:43Speaker 2: couple years. But, you know, she does kind of find
- 28:47Speaker 2: these people. And if you watched the movie with The
- 28:51Speaker 2: Weeknd and what was that called?
- 28:53Speaker 3: The Idol.
- 28:53Speaker 2: The Idol. A lot of people said that the story
- 28:57Speaker 2: was loosely based on a Britney Spears character who sees
- 29:01Speaker 2: this guy who she allows in her life, allows to
- 29:04Speaker 2: control her, that it was a sort of a Britney
- 29:07Speaker 2: Spears type of a person.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Do you think that we will see Marilyn Monroe style
- 29:12Speaker 3: stories about her? Just because there is something so tragic
- 29:15Speaker 3: about the way that she's always looking for love and
- 29:18Speaker 3: looking for somebody to take care of her.
- 29:20Speaker 2: I mean, somebody said this to me and you're going
- 29:23Speaker 2: to lose your mind.
- 29:24Speaker 3: What?
- 29:24Speaker 2: But it is a little bit Sunset Boulevard modern day.
- 29:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Where she could think that she is still, I don't
- 29:34Speaker 2: know how, with it she is or not, but when
- 29:38Speaker 2: she's spinning and everything, is she like, I'm on the
- 29:40Speaker 2: stage at the Planet Hollywood.
- 29:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:43Speaker 2: And I'm doing this. And then this small group of
- 29:46Speaker 2: people around her, the butler of Sunset Boulevard is now
- 29:50Speaker 2: this gardener slash handyman. I don't know what he does.
- 29:55Speaker 2: And the world gets smaller, but she... But with Instagram, she's.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Able to- We get an eye into it. You know,
- 30:02Speaker 3: we're always saying it.
- 30:03Speaker 2: And she gets the response, not the comments, but she
- 30:06Speaker 2: gets the response of this many views, this many likes.
- 30:09Speaker 3: It's so hard when you see how well managed and
- 30:13Speaker 3: what a great business person Taylor Swift is. And just
- 30:17Speaker 3: sort of like hearing the story about them circumventing the
- 30:21Speaker 3: studios to release her tour special directly through the theaters.
- 30:26Speaker 3: It's just sort of like, it's so brilliant. And clearly-
- 30:29Speaker 3: so much of that initiative and intelligence is coming from her,
- 30:33Speaker 3: but also she has so many great business people around her.
- 30:36Speaker 3: And it's just sort of so sad that like somebody
- 30:39Speaker 3: who needs that kind of support, like if Brittany had
- 30:43Speaker 3: the right people around her, there could be people who
- 30:46Speaker 3: were helping guide her towards continuing to be an artist
- 30:49Speaker 3: who grows. And I don't think that that will happen.
- 30:53Speaker 3: And maybe it's not.
- 30:54Speaker 2: What she wants. I think even if she does, I
- 30:56Speaker 2: don't know how much control those people have.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Okay, but I'm going to be reading her book. Supposedly
- 31:01Speaker 2: the book is great and coming out.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Which she wrote, 100% she wrote.
- 31:06Speaker 2: That's what they're saying. That's what they're saying. I mean,
- 31:10Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know.
- 31:12Speaker 3: You wanted to be one of the good ghost writers,
- 31:15Speaker 3: like the guy who wrote Princess Diana's book.
- 31:18Speaker 2: I kind of think she did write it herself because
- 31:20Speaker 2: I really don't think that she could keep a schedule
- 31:22Speaker 2: where someone's coming and she's sitting on a couch and
- 31:25Speaker 2: And they're typing away. I don't think so.
- 31:27Speaker 3: There's no, like, I question her literacy skills.
- 31:31Speaker 2: This is what I think happened. This is how I
- 31:32Speaker 2: think the book was done.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Not that she's illiterate, but just like that she needs
- 31:36Speaker 3: somebody to help her make a sentence.
- 31:37Speaker 2: This is what I think happened.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Yes.
- 31:39Speaker 2: I think she talked into a recording device. And I
- 31:43Speaker 2: think they took all of that.
- 31:45Speaker 3: Yes.
- 31:45Speaker 2: And then they worked on it. And then they went
- 31:48Speaker 2: to her and was like, okay, we just want you
- 31:49Speaker 2: to talk about this little part about when you were
- 31:53Speaker 2: in Louisiana at eight. Okay, just do that. Send that
- 31:56Speaker 2: to me. Like, I think they gave her little assignments.
- 31:58Speaker 2: So it is her words.
- 32:00Speaker 3: Yes.
- 32:00Speaker 2: But someone organized.
- 32:01Speaker 3: And put it together. I did that for.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Anyway, that's a super smart way to do it.
- 32:04Speaker 3: I did that for Josh. What's his name from.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Altman.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Yes. Josh Altman.
- 32:08Speaker 2: For his book. Yes. Yeah. I think that's a great
- 32:10Speaker 2: way to do it for busy people. Okay. I want
- 32:12Speaker 2: to talk to you being that you're Writers Guild person. Now,
- 32:17Speaker 2: Drew Barrymore a couple days ago announced that she would
- 32:19Speaker 2: be returning. She is a, you know, SAG after Writers
- 32:24Speaker 2: Guild show host. but just a little update on it
- 32:28Speaker 2: so that she won't be using writers to do it.
- 32:32Speaker 3: And there is a SAG agreement for daytime.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Okay, explain that.
- 32:37Speaker 3: So there are different contracts for different parts of the industry,
- 32:41Speaker 3: and SAG right now does have, as I understand it,
- 32:44Speaker 3: a contract for daytime. So she's not violating SAG and
- 32:47Speaker 3: going back, but she is breaking the strike for the
- 32:51Speaker 3: Writers Guild, and she's also not showing solidarity with... SAG, uh, for,
- 32:58Speaker 3: you know, uh, theatrical stuff in primetime and everything.
- 33:01Speaker 2: But I guess like she wouldn't, still wouldn't be like
- 33:03Speaker 2: highlighting any actors that have movies coming out or whatever,
- 33:08Speaker 2: or working on movies because that would be, that would
- 33:11Speaker 2: be part of it. Um, but Sherry Shepard and Jennifer
- 33:14Speaker 2: Hudson are scheduled to be back on the air starting
- 33:17Speaker 2: September 18th, according to their social media accounts. So I
- 33:21Speaker 2: don't know if they're not writers guild or they're, So
- 33:26Speaker 2: it's really interesting. And this talk as well.
- 33:28Speaker 3: Because last time this happened, like after a couple of weeks,
- 33:32Speaker 3: all of the late night shows went back and said
- 33:34Speaker 3: that they didn't have writers. And it was supposed to
- 33:36Speaker 3: be just the hosts riffing and improvising. And this time
- 33:41Speaker 3: that has not happened. And there has been a whole
- 33:43Speaker 3: lot more pushback for people who are doing that. And
- 33:46Speaker 3: I think that's really important because we're in a hard
- 33:49Speaker 3: fight right now. And as long as those companies and
- 33:53Speaker 3: all of those companies are much bigger now. All of
- 33:55Speaker 3: the studios are now owned by big corporations who have
- 33:58Speaker 3: enough money that they can spend a year not making
- 34:01Speaker 3: money off of this entertainment division. And every time somebody
- 34:05Speaker 3: goes back and allows them to continue to make money, um,
- 34:08Speaker 3: it disincentivizes them from being able to find a contract
- 34:12Speaker 3: that will be able to meet the future of what
- 34:14Speaker 3: entertainment is for the people who are making the entertainment.
- 34:18Speaker 3: It's so hard. We all love Drew Barrymore. Like I've
- 34:21Speaker 3: been on her show a couple of times, you know, um,
- 34:24Speaker 3: She's a very nice person. And I also understand when
- 34:27Speaker 3: you're coming into this as a performer who usually when
- 34:31Speaker 3: it comes to the big business stuff, somebody tells you
- 34:33Speaker 3: what's going on. I'm sure somebody told her like, if
- 34:37Speaker 3: we don't go back, we're going to have to lay
- 34:39Speaker 3: off all of our crew and it's going to fuck
- 34:41Speaker 3: over our crew and everything like that. And I understand
- 34:44Speaker 3: that worrying her, but also those crew members make a
- 34:47Speaker 3: good living off of that job because of their unions.
- 34:50Speaker 3: And nobody has been more supportive of the Writers Guild
- 34:54Speaker 3: and SAG-AFTRA during all of this than the Teamsters and
- 34:59Speaker 3: IATSE and those other trade unions who understand that this
- 35:02Speaker 3: is important. And it makes me like... And I also
- 35:06Speaker 3: understand that daytime is in this weird space where they
- 35:10Speaker 3: are on a bubble and she, I believe, is having
- 35:12Speaker 3: to go down to a half hour. A lot of
- 35:14Speaker 3: these shows are in trouble because people aren't watching broadcast
- 35:19Speaker 3: television as much anymore. But also... These things are freight.
- 35:23Speaker 3: They're also freight trains. They are shows that still get
- 35:26Speaker 3: eyes every day. It's one of the few places that
- 35:28Speaker 3: you can still go and promote something. And I, you know.
- 35:32Speaker 2: Is she going to be able to crawl into someone's
- 35:35Speaker 2: lap still?
- 35:37Speaker 3: No. I mean, I think.
- 35:38Speaker 2: And be like, oh, my God. No, seriously. I love bunnies.
- 35:44Speaker 2: They're so soft. It's incredible.
- 35:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 35:47Speaker 2: That they're actual animals and not just stuffed animals.
- 35:50Speaker 3: I mean, it's really hard because her persona is that.
- 35:53Speaker 3: Her persona is sort of like.
- 35:55Speaker 2: The sweetest.
- 35:56Speaker 3: I'm sweet and on everybody's side. And I think that
- 35:58Speaker 3: this probably comes from her trying to be on everybody's side.
- 36:03Speaker 3: You know, but this is also the I love rain
- 36:07Speaker 3: video person. You know, I mean, she is just. I
- 36:10Speaker 3: don't think she thinks. has thought a lot about the
- 36:13Speaker 3: like larger implications of this.
- 36:15Speaker 2: It's too bad that she didn't have you to call
- 36:18Speaker 2: because I, I thought a different way before you sat down. Um,
- 36:23Speaker 2: I did think it, I wouldn't have done it if
- 36:25Speaker 2: you know, but I, I understand the pressure of, but
- 36:29Speaker 2: we have the crew and you know, this kind of thing.
- 36:32Speaker 2: And like, I remember when Jay Leno went back to
- 36:34Speaker 2: the tonight show in 2008 and just did it without the,
- 36:38Speaker 2: without the writers. But I also remember he was paying
- 36:41Speaker 2: for their, He was so wealthy, he was still able
- 36:43Speaker 2: to pay for their salaries and this kind of thing.
- 36:46Speaker 2: And you can't really compare this to 2008 because the
- 36:49Speaker 2: world is so different and the stakes are different.
- 36:51Speaker 3: The notion that you're going on without jokes is false.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Like all of those people saying, oh, I don't have
- 36:56Speaker 3: writers right now is not true. People were giving them
- 36:59Speaker 3: stuff under the table and you yourself just going on
- 37:01Speaker 3: and sort of like riffing stuff are doing work that
- 37:04Speaker 3: should be covered by the writer's guilt. I mean, daytime
- 37:08Speaker 3: is a little bit of a different situation because what's
- 37:10Speaker 3: being written there isn't as significant as it is on
- 37:14Speaker 3: like a late night show with jokes and everything. But
- 37:16Speaker 3: also I know writers on those shows. I have interviewed
- 37:19Speaker 3: to be writers on those shows, you know, um, like
- 37:24Speaker 3: it is a job and it is disrespectful of the
- 37:26Speaker 3: people who support, like who hold you up. Like when
- 37:31Speaker 3: you're on a show like that, it feels like you're
- 37:33Speaker 3: the whole show. Your name is the show, but there
- 37:36Speaker 3: are so many people who hold you up and like,
- 37:40Speaker 3: You got to respect that, you know?
- 37:41Speaker 5: Right.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Well, that was a real, I mean, yeah, she's under
- 37:44Speaker 2: fire and that she made a, a long explanation that
- 37:48Speaker 2: was like, I left, I didn't do the MTV film
- 37:50Speaker 2: and television awards because I was the host and dah, dah, dah.
- 37:53Speaker 2: And then she said, I own this choice. We are
- 37:56Speaker 2: in compliance with not discussing and promoting film and television. Again,
- 37:59Speaker 2: I understand what she's trying to say, but you explained
- 38:03Speaker 2: it best.
- 38:03Speaker 3: I mean, astute humility is a great, somebody tweeted this,
- 38:07Speaker 3: a great illustration of the fact that she needs writers.
- 38:09Speaker 3: That's what she says at the end, yeah. Yeah, but
- 38:13Speaker 3: also it's just sort of like, you know that she's
- 38:17Speaker 3: not somebody who, Drew Barrymore didn't go to school. You know,
- 38:22Speaker 3: like she went to school on the set of E.T.
- 38:25Speaker 3: She went to school on the set of Firestarter, and
- 38:27Speaker 3: I think, You know, you would hope that somebody would
- 38:29Speaker 3: understand the business better about that. But I also think
- 38:32Speaker 3: she's somebody who is used to listening to the people
- 38:34Speaker 3: around her who she feels like know about this. And
- 38:37Speaker 3: I think she probably got not great counsel. And I'm
- 38:41Speaker 3: really hoping that other people similarly positioned don't, you know.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Really great points.
- 38:49Speaker 4: Thanks.
- 38:49Speaker 2: I mean, I think people are going to explain it.
- 38:51Speaker 2: You're explaining it well. Wait, let me just make sure
- 38:54Speaker 2: that I– because I skipped over a couple.
- 38:57Speaker 1: No, I didn't.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Okay, we're good. Okay, so quick Sandoval update. Tom Sandoval,
- 39:04Speaker 2: so Raquel is back on her Instagram. And she's, you know,
- 39:08Speaker 2: in a garden and whatever. And it was her birthday
- 39:11Speaker 2: and Tom Sandoval tweeted or wrote to her maybe on a,
- 39:17Speaker 2: under an Instagram or something. Happy birthday, Raquel. I really
- 39:21Speaker 2: hope you're finding peace and happiness. Miss you, friend. She
- 39:26Speaker 2: let that be known on her Instagram and that she
- 39:29Speaker 2: also blocked him. And really kind of a great moment
- 39:34Speaker 2: for everybody involved. It's funny to imagine him deciding to
- 39:38Speaker 2: do that, knowing that it would be public, thinking, friend, like,
- 39:43Speaker 2: thanks for boning me those seven months or whatever it was.
- 39:47Speaker 2: So I'm going to continue on with my show and
- 39:49Speaker 2: my tour. Hope you enjoy your flowers. Hope you're having
- 39:53Speaker 2: a good day. And she just– and it was a
- 39:56Speaker 2: smart move of hers.
- 39:57Speaker 3: There are so many riches here.
- 39:58Speaker 2: Yes.
- 39:59Speaker 3: Resilient fuckboy energy makes me so happy. Like when somebody
- 40:03Speaker 3: falls down and picks themselves up and is just like,
- 40:05Speaker 3: I'm not going to stop. This is just who I
- 40:08Speaker 3: am and what I do. It makes me extremely exciting,
- 40:11Speaker 3: especially when that person is hot.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:13Speaker 3: He's real hot. Second of all, I– The fruit plate
- 40:17Speaker 3: down at the bottom, I just want to know so
- 40:19Speaker 3: much more about. Because it is like, who fastidiously put
- 40:23Speaker 3: together this beautiful fruit plate? What intern or assistant had
- 40:27Speaker 3: to make it look eaten from? Because it looks so
- 40:30Speaker 3: well eaten from. And also, there are actual peaches. But
- 40:33Speaker 3: then also, there's just a little pumpkin. Because we're almost
- 40:36Speaker 3: into fall. So there's a little pumpkin for show. And
- 40:40Speaker 3: I just.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Maybe she did it and her new venture is lifestyle blogging.
- 40:46Speaker 3: Oh.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Cheese boards, pumpkin displays, and flowers prediction.
- 40:53Speaker 3: Going hard into that kind of pivot and understanding that
- 40:56Speaker 3: pivot is really, really smart. Let us never forget how
- 40:58Speaker 3: much money Kathy Ireland has made off of ceiling fans.
- 41:02Speaker 2: Let us never forget.
- 41:04Speaker 3: Understanding what your pivot is because that is beautiful and.
- 41:10Speaker 3: Truly, the people who get what they need from a
- 41:12Speaker 3: reality show and then sneak off to the bank with
- 41:17Speaker 3: whatever their deal is.
- 41:19Speaker 2: I actually have a hard time with charcuterie boards.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Really?
- 41:23Speaker 2: It's hard for me to graze it. I end up
- 41:28Speaker 2: eating too much of it.
- 41:29Speaker 3: Yes.
- 41:29Speaker 2: It's hard for me to chuck it after and not
- 41:33Speaker 2: have that poor person mentality that needs to wrap up
- 41:35Speaker 2: the things that have already been touched and are gross.
- 41:37Speaker 3: I mean, that's so much of the gesture of it
- 41:39Speaker 3: is being able to just sort of say, oh, that
- 41:42Speaker 3: remaining $ 37 worth of cheese, let's just get rid of
- 41:46Speaker 3: it because I need to have, you know, a refrigerator
- 41:48Speaker 3: that looks aesthetically pleasing. But this is, I mean, this
- 41:51Speaker 3: is so perfect. You got, like, those are ripe peaches.
- 41:55Speaker 3: I'm really impressed with that. But also, you know, so
- 41:59Speaker 3: much of it is still there. This is clearly a
- 42:01Speaker 3: done charcuterie board. They've worked their way through it.
- 42:04Speaker 2: Whenever I see a peach, I always think of this
- 42:05Speaker 2: commercial when I was a little girl. Summer, summer fruit.
- 42:08Speaker 2: It wouldn't be summer with fresh from the tree. Taste
- 42:10Speaker 2: it and see.
- 42:12Speaker 3: I do remember that commercial.
- 42:13Speaker 2: Okay, that was a commercial you saw too. I want
- 42:16Speaker 2: to just finish up this Drew from Real Housewives of Atlanta.
- 42:20Speaker 4: Yes.
- 42:20Speaker 2: So they had this moment at the end of the
- 42:23Speaker 2: reunion where she sang her latest song to her husband
- 42:26Speaker 2: that she said on the reunion as he's sitting there.
- 42:29Speaker 2: She said, you've cheated on me and all these things.
- 42:32Speaker 2: You embarrassed me and you cheated on me. He accused
- 42:35Speaker 2: her of having lesbian affairs. And then she showed– photos
- 42:40Speaker 2: of a girl's ass and everything that said, I want
- 42:42Speaker 2: that D that supposedly she had evidence of him, you know,
- 42:46Speaker 2: having sexy text messages. And he said he was catfished.
- 42:50Speaker 2: All of it. I said, this is so weird. Seems
- 42:53Speaker 2: so fake. The fact, the fact that he sat there,
- 42:55Speaker 2: listen to her sing, he produced the music and candy
- 42:59Speaker 2: put her in this movie called the past and That
- 43:03Speaker 2: just came out on Peacock.
- 43:05Speaker 3: Oh no.
- 43:06Speaker 2: So I watched the pass on Peacock.
- 43:08Speaker 3: And that's like the premise of it.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Oh my God. This was all fake. This was all
- 43:12Speaker 2: set up. The four of them are in it together. Her, Candy,
- 43:17Speaker 2: her husband, Todd Tucker, who shot the movie in 10
- 43:20Speaker 2: days at his house using the Tyler Perry connect, you know, formula.
- 43:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:27Speaker 2: So I watched it. It's pretty, it's pretty low bud cheese.
- 43:31Speaker 2: Took me two days to get through it. Drew's a
- 43:33Speaker 2: pretty decent actress in it. And she has this husband.
- 43:36Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, this girl that she works with,
- 43:39Speaker 2: who is the husband's best friend, who's a female, they
- 43:42Speaker 2: have sex and all this stuff. And then I'm not
- 43:44Speaker 2: going to root it for anybody that's going to watch it.
- 43:47Speaker 2: But the twist of it proves that they were acting
- 43:52Speaker 2: at the end of this reunion to get people to
- 43:54Speaker 2: watch this movie, The Pass.
- 43:55Speaker 3: Was it a satisfying viewing experience?
- 43:57Speaker 2: Yes.
- 43:58Speaker 3: Okay.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Cheese and cheese. And I was impressed with Candy and
- 44:04Speaker 2: Todd that they got a sale by Peacock, and I
- 44:07Speaker 2: think it was smart of Peacock to buy it. So
- 44:08Speaker 2: I thought it was a good move around.
- 44:11Speaker 3: I also do love when sort of there is a
- 44:14Speaker 3: deep fake kind of promotion kind of thing. Those always
- 44:17Speaker 3: really excite me. I mean, I wonder about was it
- 44:21Speaker 3: poorly done if you were like, this is weird, or
- 44:23Speaker 3: was it correctly done if you said this is weird?
- 44:25Speaker 3: because it caused you to investigate and watch the movie.
- 44:28Speaker 2: I watched the movie just out of curiosity. I didn't
- 44:30Speaker 2: know that the movie would prove that my original theory
- 44:33Speaker 2: from Tuesday was correct. Yeah. Because everything in the movie
- 44:37Speaker 2: was in what we saw in the last 10 minutes
- 44:41Speaker 2: of the reunion. The fake messages, the lesbian affair, the
- 44:45Speaker 2: you embarrassed me, you embarrassed me, is literally a line
- 44:48Speaker 2: that Candy says in the movie.
- 44:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Everything about it was set up.
- 44:52Speaker 3: When the newer Real Housewives try to produce too hard
- 44:56Speaker 3: and give you stuff that feels super fake or manufactured,
- 45:01Speaker 3: it just feels sweaty. And so I am skeptical of that,
- 45:05Speaker 3: though the movie sounds compelling.
- 45:06Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty sexy. Dorinda has a new face.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Dorinda looks amazing.
- 45:12Speaker 2: By Wig, Hello Drama said, what are you doing here
- 45:14Speaker 2: without Dorinda, which is a famous line.
- 45:16Speaker 4: Yes.
- 45:17Speaker 2: I looked at her old face.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Are you implying that I don't know what it meant
- 45:21Speaker 3: when John Asgarian or whatever showed up?
- 45:23Speaker 2: It was Sonia who said it.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Yes, no, I remember. What are you doing here without Dorinda?
- 45:27Speaker 2: And then Dorinda made the shirts. What are you doing
- 45:29Speaker 2: without Dorinda? And I was like, it's actually Sonia's line.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Right.
- 45:33Speaker 2: But she looks amazing. She has longer hair. But the
- 45:38Speaker 2: real difference is what I think is I think she
- 45:40Speaker 2: got her eyes done, the upper lids. And I think
- 45:44Speaker 2: she got a lower facelift and I think she did
- 45:46Speaker 2: something to the nose, either a filler in the nose
- 45:50Speaker 2: or maybe in a full, maybe even a nose job
- 45:52Speaker 2: that's still going to be even smaller in about three months.
- 45:54Speaker 3: I do find it really fascinating the way that I,
- 45:58Speaker 3: Sonia in particular, I think is somebody who can look
- 46:00Speaker 3: so gorgeous and also can look, you know, relatively busted,
- 46:06Speaker 3: you know? Like, so it's like on a knife's edge
- 46:11Speaker 3: and I'm always so fascinated to see which version of,
- 46:14Speaker 3: Of Sonya we're going to get.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Whenever I see a woman past 55 that shows up
- 46:20Speaker 2: with a completely new face, whether it's Kathy Hilton or
- 46:23Speaker 2: her or Sheba Shrey or whatever, it gives me hope
- 46:28Speaker 2: that if I can find a few months off, I
- 46:32Speaker 2: can come back as like a completely different person.
- 46:36Speaker 3: Yes. Yes.
- 46:37Speaker 2: And I would tell everybody that, well, I would have
- 46:39Speaker 2: to unless I just want to actually leave the earth
- 46:41Speaker 2: and come back as a different person.
- 46:42Speaker 3: And also just that thing of like getting the good
- 46:45Speaker 3: work done in just the right way. There are the
- 46:47Speaker 3: people who come and it's just like you've had a
- 46:50Speaker 3: bunch of work and then there are the people who
- 46:52Speaker 3: come back and you're just like.
- 46:53Speaker 2: I went to a retreat.
- 46:54Speaker 3: Yes. You look so refreshed.
- 46:57Speaker 2: Amy Schumer, I talked about this on Tuesday, she made
- 46:59Speaker 2: a little funny joke, threw up a photo of Nicole
- 47:02Speaker 2: Kidman at the, we always open and said, this is
- 47:05Speaker 2: how humans sit. She got a lot of shit for it.
- 47:07Speaker 2: So then she did another post and she said, I'm
- 47:10Speaker 2: sorry for my post, but maybe the cast of the
- 47:15Speaker 2: 70s show can write me a letter. Wait, what did
- 47:19Speaker 2: she write? What did she say? She said, I want
- 47:20Speaker 2: to apologize to all the people I hurt posting a
- 47:22Speaker 2: photo of Nicole Kidman and alluding to her being an alien.
- 47:26Speaker 2: I will be asking the cast of that 70s show
- 47:29Speaker 2: to write letters advocating for my forgiveness. Then she had
- 47:32Speaker 2: to remove that too. Anyway, I thought that was pretty funny.
- 47:35Speaker 3: I mean, it's all very funny. Like, I understand that
- 47:39Speaker 3: we had to come, like, that everyone is very self-conscious about, like,
- 47:43Speaker 3: are we shaming people is what we're doing, sort of
- 47:47Speaker 3: perpetuating negative stereotypes. But it's also, like, there used to
- 47:50Speaker 3: be a tradition in comedy of sort of, like, lashing
- 47:53Speaker 3: people Getting to take a shot at the people who
- 47:57Speaker 3: were gorgeous and rich and felt like you had everything.
- 48:00Speaker 3: And there is also an interesting way that like it
- 48:05Speaker 3: is easy for somebody as they rise as a comedian
- 48:07Speaker 3: to not realize that they are in a greater position
- 48:09Speaker 3: of power.
- 48:10Speaker 2: That's exactly what I said. I go, it's okay. So
- 48:12Speaker 2: you can't punch down, but you can punch up. And
- 48:14Speaker 2: I think this should be a lesson to her to
- 48:16Speaker 2: be like, wow, I've really made it because people, I
- 48:19Speaker 2: almost feel like if I had made that joke. i
- 48:22Speaker 2: would not no one would have cared yes because they
- 48:24Speaker 2: would have been like oh you you wish you were
- 48:26Speaker 2: nicole kidman you stupid loser right you wish you'll never
- 48:29Speaker 2: get a seat at the tennis open but amy schumer
- 48:32Speaker 2: could have a seat at the tennis the thing is.
- 48:34Speaker 3: I have trouble with the idea of punching up and
- 48:36Speaker 3: punching down because i think the world is more sophisticated
- 48:39Speaker 3: than that behaving as though you can simply put on
- 48:41Speaker 3: a hierarchy everyone is really really stupid and they're you
- 48:45Speaker 3: know yes everyone's had to go through stuff but like
- 48:48Speaker 3: what real harm is there from, you know, pointing out that, like,
- 48:55Speaker 3: Nicole Kidman is someone who is famous for poise, who
- 48:58Speaker 3: is famous for positioning. We all go to the AMC
- 49:02Speaker 3: theater and recite along with her, like, incantation before the
- 49:07Speaker 3: movie because she is giving us poison angles at every moment. And,
- 49:12Speaker 3: you know, this is Amy's way of saying, like, She's
- 49:15Speaker 3: a different kind of person than I am.
- 49:17Speaker 5: Right.
- 49:18Speaker 3: This is ridiculous. And I think having more of a
- 49:20Speaker 3: sense of humility as a comedian about the stuff you
- 49:22Speaker 3: say and people pushing back. But I think everyone also
- 49:26Speaker 3: being able to have more of a sense of humor
- 49:29Speaker 3: about it.
- 49:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 49:30Speaker 2: I mean, it's. But I could get it. She's probably like, oh, fuck,
- 49:33Speaker 2: I have to take that one down, too.
- 49:34Speaker 3: Who cares? The thing is, this also, again, it's very,
- 49:38Speaker 3: very funny. I also understand the argument that any time
- 49:41Speaker 3: you are getting close to rape and people who have
- 49:45Speaker 3: been victims of a terrible crime, that making light of
- 49:49Speaker 3: it from any angle is hard. But also, there were
- 49:54Speaker 3: so many stories about, oh, my God, can you believe
- 49:56Speaker 3: that this happened, about... The two of them that like,
- 50:00Speaker 3: isn't that also profiting off of the story of somebody's like,
- 50:04Speaker 3: why are these news stories not also being criticized for
- 50:07Speaker 3: profiting off of, um, like the scandal associated.
- 50:10Speaker 2: I mean, they kind of do when you read the comments.
- 50:11Speaker 2: They're like really people, like, you know, some of them.
- 50:14Speaker 2: But I thought this was pretty funny. This is from Matt.
- 50:16Speaker 3: Again, two people who should have had better guidance.
- 50:19Speaker 2: Yes. So for Ashton and Mila, they did their apology video.
- 50:25Speaker 2: And this person wrote, I know their PR team wrote
- 50:28Speaker 2: them to sit in front of an innocuous, normal person
- 50:30Speaker 2: looking wall. But unfortunately for them, I have also watched
- 50:33Speaker 2: their Architectural Digest house tour and I know exactly where
- 50:35Speaker 2: this was filmed. So their house is gorgeous. They are
- 50:39Speaker 2: really wealthy. I don't think you have to apologize to
- 50:41Speaker 2: having a gorgeous home. But I always do think it's
- 50:44Speaker 2: funny of when you do your apology video, how much
- 50:48Speaker 2: little makeup you use and how much makeup you use.
- 50:50Speaker 2: You don't want to look completely scary, but you want
- 50:52Speaker 2: to look like it was done in the moment and immediate.
- 50:55Speaker 2: So you want to look a little disheveled and a
- 50:58Speaker 2: little like, I have to get this out right now
- 51:00Speaker 2: because you guys need to know my truth.
- 51:02Speaker 3: It's all Erika Jayne not wearing waterproof mascara. Amazing. It's
- 51:06Speaker 3: all a question of how much are you– And it's
- 51:09Speaker 3: very hard for these people who produce everything and have
- 51:12Speaker 3: staff to produce everything. But can I just say, in
- 51:14Speaker 3: my dark years after leaving Chelsea Lately, when there was
- 51:18Speaker 3: nowhere else for me to work, I had to work
- 51:20Speaker 3: for Ashton Kutcher's production company for about a year.
- 51:22Speaker 2: Do tell.
- 51:23Speaker 3: And I've never met somebody who was so certain of
- 51:30Speaker 3: their own intellect who was so wrong. He just really
- 51:34Speaker 3: thought differently. he was a mogul and that he understood everything.
- 51:41Speaker 3: And it was just one of, I have gotten to
- 51:43Speaker 3: see up close the way that the people around a
- 51:45Speaker 3: celebrity can make them think you got this. I mean,
- 51:49Speaker 3: it was, it was during the period of time when
- 51:50Speaker 3: he did, um, the bad brown face thing for pop chips.
- 51:54Speaker 2: And like, what was that explained?
- 51:55Speaker 3: Uh, he did brown face and pretended to be an
- 51:58Speaker 3: Indian person and did like a bad accent for a
- 52:01Speaker 3: pop chips commercial. sort of at that turning point in
- 52:03Speaker 3: culture when people have been doing, I'm not excusing that
- 52:07Speaker 3: he did it, but it was conventional wisdom for most
- 52:11Speaker 3: of the 2000s that brown face, a bad accent for
- 52:15Speaker 3: an Easter South Asian person, or in any way pretending
- 52:18Speaker 3: to be gay was just the heart of comedy.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Totally true.
- 52:22Speaker 3: And so I think these people who aren't sophisticated comedy thinkers,
- 52:26Speaker 3: I mean, I kind of have just a different scale
- 52:29Speaker 3: for somebody like Amy Schumer- Yes. Who is thinking on
- 52:32Speaker 3: her own about comedy. Right. And these people who have
- 52:34Speaker 3: just like are reacting to, the world says that this
- 52:36Speaker 3: is funny. Why don't I do this? I understand why
- 52:39Speaker 3: people do extremely dumb stuff like this. This is so
- 52:43Speaker 3: weird because it is like they are showing loyalty to
- 52:47Speaker 3: someone who is their friend. And I think.
- 52:49Speaker 2: I just want to say, because I remember when I
- 52:51Speaker 2: was your date to the movie that you were in.
- 52:54Speaker 3: Yes.
- 52:54Speaker 2: What was it called again?
- 52:55Speaker 3: No Strings Attached. No Strings Attached.
- 52:57Speaker 2: You played like Natalie Portman's best friend.
- 52:59Speaker 3: Yes.
- 53:00Speaker 1: And.
- 53:00Speaker 2: Afterwards or maybe at the after party, you went, I
- 53:04Speaker 2: think you went in the car with them to one
- 53:06Speaker 2: of the parties.
- 53:07Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes.
- 53:07Speaker 2: And I met you at the party. And what you
- 53:10Speaker 2: told me later was the way that Demi and the girls,
- 53:14Speaker 2: his stepdaughters at the time, hung on his every word
- 53:17Speaker 2: like he was the president of the United States.
- 53:19Speaker 3: He was lecturing Demi about the history of the Chicago Bears.
- 53:24Speaker 3: And she was just treating him as if he was
- 53:26Speaker 3: the most intelligent person. And it was just sort of
- 53:31Speaker 3: I don't know. It was like humoring a child. It
- 53:33Speaker 3: was really.
- 53:35Speaker 2: That always stuck in my mind. Like, oh, that's so interesting.
- 53:37Speaker 2: Because then when I read her book, which was fascinating.
- 53:39Speaker 2: If you haven't read Demi Moore's book, read it. It's
- 53:42Speaker 2: really good.
- 53:43Speaker 3: But I just feel in a situation like this, you
- 53:48Speaker 3: have a different perspective on this because you are a woman.
- 53:50Speaker 3: And you have always had to be aware of the
- 53:51Speaker 3: amount of violence and threat that is going on to women.
- 53:55Speaker 3: But as a man... That thing of since Me Too,
- 54:01Speaker 3: we've talked more about the shit that you don't see.
- 54:05Speaker 3: You know what I mean? And the thing of having
- 54:08Speaker 3: to say, this person is fine to me, but I
- 54:11Speaker 3: am not a person that they are a predator towards.
- 54:14Speaker 3: So I need to understand that my sense of loyalty
- 54:19Speaker 3: isn't applicable here. You know?
- 54:23Speaker 2: My sister's a criminal defense attorney. I've had a brother
- 54:26Speaker 2: that we asked for letters to get. So people do
- 54:31Speaker 2: give letters to their friends, kids that did a DUI.
- 54:34Speaker 2: People do that. But I think what is interesting about
- 54:36Speaker 2: this is that he didn't really seek the right counsel PR-wise.
- 54:46Speaker 2: And the question is, why did he make such an
- 54:50Speaker 2: awful PR decision as if his letter's gonna really help
- 54:54Speaker 2: this guy anyway? Why would you do that when you're
- 54:56Speaker 2: in the position that he's in? And that's what is,
- 55:00Speaker 2: I think, baffling. And that's why people are going down
- 55:02Speaker 2: rabbit holes and being like, what really was this deep
- 55:04Speaker 2: connection between him and the Scientologist? And the 70s show
- 55:09Speaker 2: and their relationship and all this stuff. So it really
- 55:14Speaker 2: opened up a can of worms that was unfortunate for him.
- 55:17Speaker 3: To me, it feels just like Danny asked me. And
- 55:20Speaker 3: Danny is my boy. We became famous at the same
- 55:22Speaker 3: time together. And it's like.
- 55:24Speaker 2: Danny was who I called when I saw the woman
- 55:27Speaker 2: that I was going on a date with who was murdered.
- 55:31Speaker 3: Oh, what? What happened?
- 55:32Speaker 2: So, okay. So he was part of a famous case.
- 55:36Speaker 2: in which he had a date with a woman, he
- 55:38Speaker 2: went to pick her up, and she was murdered. And
- 55:42Speaker 2: the rumors are that one of the women that accused
- 55:50Speaker 2: Danny of rape has come forward and said, I was
- 55:53Speaker 2: there when Danny got the call. You called him first
- 55:56Speaker 2: to say, what do I do, instead of the police.
- 56:00Speaker 2: And Then they finally caught the guy after he committed
- 56:04Speaker 2: another crime and a woman got away and that's how
- 56:08Speaker 2: they caught. So it was another crime and attempted another
- 56:11Speaker 2: murder and attempted. And he did take the stand and
- 56:15Speaker 2: he was not accused of the murder or anything like that.
- 56:17Speaker 2: But that is where, you know, again, he should have
- 56:21Speaker 2: thought about that and that people would find this out
- 56:26Speaker 2: and that it would be dug up and it would look,
- 56:28Speaker 2: really poorly, even though, I mean, no one's accusing him
- 56:31Speaker 2: of the murder, but some people are accusing him of
- 56:33Speaker 2: not going straight to the police.
- 56:36Speaker 3: I mean, Scientology being tied up in all of this
- 56:40Speaker 3: makes me so worried and so uncomfortable. And I always
- 56:45Speaker 3: just look to Lena Remini in these times to be like,
- 56:48Speaker 3: tell me how I should be approaching this. But that's
- 56:52Speaker 3: just a real, that's a real, real mess.
- 56:55Speaker 2: I want to run to some fun stuff before we
- 56:58Speaker 2: end it. Yes, go ahead.
- 56:59Speaker 3: But I also think we need to challenge ourselves and
- 57:02Speaker 3: push back at ourselves about how much we are enabling
- 57:07Speaker 3: people when we sort of decide to ignore the parts
- 57:11Speaker 3: of them that don't hurt us.
- 57:14Speaker 2: That's a good point. I want to talk a little
- 57:17Speaker 2: bit about OC. Are you up on OC?
- 57:19Speaker 3: I'm not at all.
- 57:20Speaker 2: Okay. Well, I'll just quickly say I've never felt more
- 57:23Speaker 2: of a kingship. With Heather Dubrow.
- 57:27Speaker 3: Oh, Heather Dubrow did talk show, the game show. Um,
- 57:30Speaker 3: she was amazing.
- 57:31Speaker 2: Yes.
- 57:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 57:32Speaker 2: Um, so one thing is she sells her house for
- 57:35Speaker 2: 55 million and the girls are upset that she doesn't
- 57:39Speaker 2: find out that, um, the girls find out through the
- 57:43Speaker 2: press and she kept it a secret. She, Josh Altman
- 57:46Speaker 2: brought the, um, the offer.
- 57:48Speaker 3: Yes.
- 57:48Speaker 2: And so then they, they all approach her and they say,
- 57:51Speaker 2: why wouldn't you tell us? Why did you keep it
- 57:53Speaker 2: a secret? And she's like, well, why would I tell you?
- 57:56Speaker 2: Because this whole season, she doesn't say season, but this
- 57:58Speaker 2: whole time we've been hanging out these last few months,
- 58:01Speaker 2: you either say that I talk too much about myself
- 58:03Speaker 2: and I make it about myself. And now you say
- 58:05Speaker 2: I'm being aloof and secretive. So I cannot win. I
- 58:08Speaker 2: cannot win with you. And I honestly, I didn't think
- 58:10Speaker 2: you'd be happy for me. And they're like, why do
- 58:11Speaker 2: you think we wouldn't be happy with you? I don't know.
- 58:13Speaker 2: Have you seen the other woman's houses? I mean, none
- 58:18Speaker 2: of that. I mean, Gina, it's my understanding that she
- 58:21Speaker 2: lives in a decent house, but I believe that her
- 58:25Speaker 2: mother-in-law had something to do with that. So like she
- 58:29Speaker 2: lives upper middle class, but not to the level.
- 58:32Speaker 3: And Heather's husband is upscale dermatologist, right?
- 58:35Speaker 2: He's a plastic surgeon, but they've made a lot of money,
- 58:37Speaker 2: a lot of investments. They have a lot of products.
- 58:40Speaker 2: Then Gina is a hardworking girl trying to get a
- 58:43Speaker 2: real estate license with her husband. And they have her
- 58:47Speaker 2: new boyfriend. She lives in a condo. It's small. Tamara
- 58:52Speaker 2: does good. Tamara does fine. Shannon is in a nice house,
- 58:55Speaker 2: but it's a rental. This other girl, Jen, she lives
- 58:59Speaker 2: in the Tuscan look with the chocolate spotted, and so
- 59:03Speaker 2: does Taylor. They need a redo on their kitchen. So
- 59:06Speaker 2: you have Heather Dubrow in a $ 55 million house. No,
- 59:08Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to be happy that she
- 59:10Speaker 2: sold it and that she bought a condo in, um,
- 59:14Speaker 2: you know, in, uh, LA.
- 59:16Speaker 3: Um, I mean, that's exciting.
- 59:17Speaker 2: For $ 14 million. And I want to see her go
- 59:20Speaker 2: to Beverly Hills.
- 59:21Speaker 3: Yes. I mean, that would be amazing. I think she's
- 59:24Speaker 3: high quality. And I also think with Taylor, the notion
- 59:28Speaker 3: of people being bumped up or bumped down a franchise
- 59:32Speaker 3: makes me happy. Let's make this as much like European
- 59:34Speaker 3: soccer as possible. Also, working on the book for Josh
- 59:38Speaker 3: Altman was what taught me that When something has that
- 59:40Speaker 3: Tuscan look, it is just worth 20% less than it
- 59:43Speaker 3: would have been otherwise.
- 59:44Speaker 2: You know why? Because it's hard to redo. It'd be
- 59:47Speaker 2: better off if you're buying an older 80s ranch. It's
- 59:52Speaker 2: easier to update that to 2023 than a 2004 dark
- 59:58Speaker 2: chocolate Tuscan ranch look. A Tuscan villa.
- 1:00:01Speaker 3: I do have to say, though, I do like when
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: all of the members of a Real Housewives franchise realize
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: that one of them is too powerful. and so combine
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: all of their powers to destroy her. The season on
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: Beverly Hills where all of the most powerful witches in
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: the land banish Lisa Vanderpump You know, I hate it
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: because I love Lisa Vanderbilt, but also it's good TV.
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: It's a gang up.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:00:23Speaker 2: Speaking of Kyle, she just shared that she's in Paris
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: with Morgan Wade. I'm going to make you love me. Well,
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: I'm here with Kyle Richards, Beverly Hills. Girl, I'd never
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: seen the show. I was just a little country bumpkin
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: singing these songs. And then she says, I want to
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: make you a star. And that's what's happening. So she filmed,
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: she shows on her Instagram things. She has a crew
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: behind her. We know it's not the Real Housewives of
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: Beverly Hills crew. We know she's doing a documentary to
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: make Morgan Wade, in my opinion, the next Carrie Underwood
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: with tats and a little light lesbianism. And so the
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: question still is, are they, you know, finger banging or not?
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: Or are they just good friends and she's using her
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: as a project to up both their careers? Which I
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: think that is for sure.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: I 100% think that she is getting sex out of this. Okay, good.
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: I 100% think, like, that's an evolution I've seen in
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: so many people in, like, our world.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: Late in life, Les.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: Late in life, Les.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: I love.
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: Also, if it is real lesbianism, what is the timeline
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: between Kyle starting dating a woman and going on a
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: vacation with Fortune and Jax? Wow.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: I think– Three and a half years? Yes. I think
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: three and a half to four years, they're off the
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: coast of Croatia in a boat.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: You know what? I'm not going to be happy for fortune.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: Why?
- 1:01:50Speaker 2: Unless I'm invited.
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: That's fair.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest. That's not one that I'm
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: going to be like, go have fun, girl. I'm going
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: to be a little pissed.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: Yes. Would you separate from Peter for nine months and
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: start a relationship with a country star or a women's
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: soccer player? Just to sort of like to get to
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: see what the A-list Los Angeles power lesbian world is like.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: Would you ever go undercover?
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: If I could go undercover and the sex is just
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: like a tickle back and watching movies, then 100% I
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: could live with a woman for the rest of my life.
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: I don't want to learn anything new. And I just
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: don't think I'd be good at it. To be totally honest.
- 1:02:35Speaker 3: Yeah, no one thinks you would be good at it. No,
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: no one thinks.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: I'd be good at it. Tickle back, I can do.
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: Tickle back in your arm. Tickle back. I'm all about it.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: Salt Lake are you watching it?
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: I watched the first episode I thought that the snowball
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: fight was the most like it was a very satisfying
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: evolution of Real Housewife I would have liked to have
- 1:02:59Speaker 3: seen it not in the first episode but somewhere them
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: actually getting to do something aggressive at each other but
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: that had no consequences made me really happy I do
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: I sort of hope that two episodes from now somebody
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: shows up with like crutches and it's like you hit
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: me very hard on the head and now You know,
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: something like that would make me a little happy.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen because they're already
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: in Palm Springs and they seem to be okay.
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: But it's, you know, Meredith is getting very angry with everybody.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: And I will tell you right now. I want her
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: out of here. This is wrong. Should we talk about
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: her husband? Should we talk about what's going on with
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: her life? They are out for blood to destroy everybody's
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: marriage and everyone's livelihood.
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: So was Jen Shah like the locus of chaos and
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: danger in the previous seasons?
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: She is the biggest criminal in the history of reality TV.
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: Next to Chrisley, knows best.
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: So she has been in prison for like seven to
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: nine years or something. She has to definitely do seven.
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: Maybe a year got scraped, but she's definitely doing seven.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: And no one gives a shit. No one is packing
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: a lunch and going to visit her. It's over with.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: They're done. And then this other girl that used to
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: be her assistant that I guess– Turned on her and
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: then gave info to save herself and to get her convicted.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: She's now a housewife.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: Yes. Do you think that Andy could work something out
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: so that like that season when Bethany was only talking
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: to her employees.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Off the driver Billy.
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: Yes. Jen just had like. Um, you know, a prison
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: matron that she like, you know, from her cell, she liked, you.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: Know, somebody, somebody was saying, you know, they, they, one
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: thing that pisses off a housewife more than being fired
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: is when they are still being talked about on episodes
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: when they're not there. And they feel like, how dare
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: you use me for content? How dare you use me
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: as a storyline? Um, when you're not paying me. And
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: there's been talk of like, is there any, you know,
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: retribution or kind of lawsuit or anything? So they're saying
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: she must be pissed in prison, but there's nothing she
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: can do about it.
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: And then Mary got bumped last season and now she's
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: back as friend.
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: She's back with no concept of her, of her, about
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: her church. No one's talking about the church. I went
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: to the church with the boys. We went to go
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: look at it and it was all boarded up and
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: it was all closed up and it was creepy and scary.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: And yeah, she just brings her bags and she's just
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: like a snobby bitch. And she just acts like she's,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: she doesn't talk about Jesus and she doesn't act nice
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: or religious.
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: Well, it does seem like Luann's friend of season was
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: so transformative for Luann. I think it really like got
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: her on the straight and narrow for who she needs
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: to be on a real housewife show. And do you
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: think Mary can recover in that same way?
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: No, I think this is going to be kind of
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: a mistake that she came. I think, you know, what
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: was good about her is that we thought she was
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: a weird cult criminal too. And if that's not going
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: to be featured at all and she's not going to
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: be like, you know, making weird eyes about how she
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: hates her husband that was her step-grandpa.
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: Yes.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: I don't know that we just need to see her
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: being a snob. I don't think that's that interesting.
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: Well, not participating in the snowball fight was very like,
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: it was shades of Aviva. Yeah. Do you think it's
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: going to be interesting that you don't do the thing?
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: I mean, at least she was there like, like, wrinkling
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: her nose at it, but it's just like.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: I'm not doing the, the snowballs. Okay. I'm not. Yeah.
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: It's just not fun. Guy.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being here.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: Can we talk about one more?
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: Yes, we can talk about one more thing.
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: Okay. I just wanted to talk about, um, like there's
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: been shit going on with you and people have been
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: saying that you were homophobic because you didn't do a
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: video for, um, the campaign against, uh, like bands on drag.
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: And we talked about it and you sort of said like,
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: it was a political thing that I didn't understand all of.
- 1:07:04Speaker 3: And so I, you know, I promoted the stuff, but
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: I just didn't want to do a video because I
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: didn't understand it. And that made a lot of sense
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: to me knowing who you are and knowing that you
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: are a person who loves the queer community, but you're
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: also somebody, like we have disagreed about stuff, and you've
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: had a lot of people push back at you when
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: it comes to stuff that is politics, and you create boundaries,
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: which is sort of like, I'm not gonna get involved
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: in that because I don't understand it. And I just
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: wanted to say that that made a lot of sense
- 1:07:38Speaker 3: to me, but also just wanted to talk to you
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: about the fact that these bands, even though, It seems
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: like not that big of a deal because they're just
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: saying like, well, no drag around school and stuff like that.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like that big of an issue. But
- 1:07:53Speaker 3: it is just sort of part of a larger project
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: of making gay people and queer things and trans people
- 1:08:01Speaker 3: seem dangerous to children. And scary.
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: And I totally agree with that.
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: I totally think it sucks. And I don't think it's necessary.
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: And I think, you know, parents can parent their kids
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: the way they want. And if they want to homeschool, fine.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: If they want to keep them in school, fine, whatever.
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: I think parents should be able to do that, you know,
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: providing they're not, the children not being, you know, abused
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: by the weird parents, but whatever. Right. Like I'm just saying, yeah,
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: I just, with that particular thing, I didn't know all
- 1:08:29Speaker 2: the sides. I didn't know what the PR campaign was
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: being fed to, to, to, to scare people versus the PR.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: You know, it happens on both sides where we hear,
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: and then people will say, Heather, that wasn't right. What's
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: really behind this is that. And that's where all the
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: layers are. And that's why I wasn't like, that's why
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: I was like, can we just promote the telethon? Because
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: I'm all for the art of drag. I'm all for
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: the entertainment of drag. I'm all for people continuing to
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: be able to entertain And I love that drag has
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: become such a big entertainment force in the last 15 years,
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: thanks to RuPaul's Drag Race.
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: And also, you are somebody who understands the change that
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: has happened in our society over the course of the
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: past 30 years, where people who were silenced and alienated
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: and told that they didn't have a place, like are
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: getting more freedoms and like that, that that's great. And
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: it enriches all of us. Um, and that there are
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: people who are scared about that and are pushing back in,
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: in different ways. And it is hard when people are
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: paying attention. Years ago, I followed somebody on Twitter just
- 1:09:33Speaker 3: because I liked a sitcom that they created. And then
- 1:09:35Speaker 3: later somebody comes along and is like, why are you
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: following this person? This person is very anti-trans or like,
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: are you anti-trans? And I was, you know, simultaneously was like,
- 1:09:46Speaker 3: who are you to be going through who I follow
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: and sort of like yelling at me about it? The
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: fact that I follow this person doesn't mean I endorse
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: everything that they say, but also once I learned about it,
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: I stopped following him. And the thing is, is like,
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: sometimes this pushback is valuable for you to learn about stuff,
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: but also people giving more space for the fact that like,
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: not everybody understands everything, you know, is, is also important
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: because there are so many things that that look like
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: a good idea on the surface. And once you scratch them, um,
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: you know, it, it is more problematic and you didn't
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: know it when you just thought you were doing something
- 1:10:23Speaker 3: nice or good. Um, you know, but in this situation, I, like,
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: I do just want to let you and everybody know
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: that however much it may seem like not a big deal,
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: like these drag bands are the thin end of the
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: wedge of trying to push back rights for you know,
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: all queer people, all trans people, and that that in
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: a larger sense is bad for everybody who's marginalized. You know,
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: we live in an America where women don't have the
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: same control over their bodies that legally that they did
- 1:10:55Speaker 3: five years ago. That's part of a larger movement and
- 1:10:57Speaker 3: we all need to be taking care of each other.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: Absolutely. And when are you running for president?
- 1:11:04Speaker 3: Never.
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: Guy, tell everybody where they can follow you and find
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: you and enjoy more Guy Branum fun.
