- 0:27Welcome to another episode of the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast. I'm Olivia here with one of my fellow Junkies.
- 0:33Shauna
- 0:35I don't know why I said it like that, but that's okay.
- 0:37"Shauna."
- 0:39Sing-Song Shauna Returns
- 0:42Returned. And you might notice that we don't have our favorite Junky here.
- 0:46Nicole, she's actually off on an amazing getaway that somehow she forgot to invite us on.
- 0:53I know. Next time, next time, I'm sure. I know. The invite probably got lost in the mail or something.
- 0:58Yeah, yeah. You know, the postal system, it's not what it used to be.
- 1:02Slow.
- 1:03But we'll make sure to log those notes with her when she does return.
- 1:07But we're so excited for her, you know, a dream vacation. She can tell us all about it whenever she comes back.
- 1:14In the meantime, Shauna, what have you been obsessed with?
- 1:18Ah, you know, I have just been watching a lot of my usual-- nothing too fresh recently.
- 1:27So my usuals right now that I watch Week to Week are still next level chef with our boy Gordon Ramsay.
- 1:34Ooh.
- 1:35Okay.
- 1:36Hint, hint
- 1:37And then also been watching Showgun Week to Week, X-Men 97, as well as Bleach that anime that I talked about a couple episodes ago.
- 1:46I also recently watched Total Recall for the first time ever that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.
- 1:54I could have swore that I saw this movie before.
- 1:58Like, I don't think I've seen it all the way through though. There's so many iconic scenes like the girl with the three boobs and his eyes bulging out of his skull in the very beginning when he's on Mars.
- 2:09Just, "Whaaaah!"
- 2:11But I guess I hadn't seen it all the way through, so we watched that. And then you and I re-watched Crossroads with the legendary Miss BritneySpears.
- 2:20And we were reminded of what a good actress she was.
- 2:23Yeah. You know, I think we were watching it in Newport Beach. It was really kind of just it the most beautiful experience of my life, one might say.
- 2:33It was gorgeous. It was amazing. But it's such a sign of how much we hated women back then, where no matter even if she was a good actress back then, we were just not going to let Britney Spears be good at music and dancing and acting.
- 2:50Really?
- 2:51I mean, immediately, we were like that. I told you this, but what's interesting is this was produced by Shonda Rhymes, one of the first Shonda Land productions that really did amazing. And, you know, just start of an era. Shonda Rhymes.
- 3:07I agree. I had no idea this was a Shonda Rhymes movie. I knew it was an MTV movie. And I remember loving it back in the day and having it on VHS and just watching it over and over.
- 3:17It was a perfect like girls trip movie. It was amazing. So that's what I've been watching. Oh, and I'm almost done. So close to the fourth book, finishing the fourth book in the "A Court of Thorns in Rose's" series.
- 3:31The only reason I haven't finished it is because you have it. And you're supposed to give it back to me tonight, but obviously that's not happening.
- 3:37Yeah. I was actually more upset with myself of anything. I was like, damn it. Now she's going to have an excuse to not finish this book.
- 3:46You know, I've listened to most of it on audiobook, but I just realized that on prime video you only get like 16 hours spotify.
- 3:55I think, oh, you're right. It's a spotify premium. There's too many fucking streaming services now. Now we're back in Marke. We listened to the radio and watched Aval TV. And we had our crossover TV.
- 4:09We had our crossover VHS tape when we watched it. We love British players. In my house, you had three videos. Crossroads, Josie and Depussy Cats, and Glitter with Mariah Carey.
- 4:22That was actually a bad movie. I've never seen that one all the way through, but I've heard it was not worth watching.
- 4:29There's a reason for that. Also, worst timing in the world that came out on the day of 9/11.
- 4:35That's so bad. It's so doomed to fail. If you read Mariah Carey's memoir, she writes about 9/11. Like it was a personal attack.
- 4:45How dare they? Yeah. It did start a real mental down spiral for her. But, you know, it was 9/11.
- 4:56She's came back to her. 9/11 was most important day in Mariah Carey because it's the day her failed movie.
- 5:05The launch of her action career. But yes, I'm hopefully off-enished.
- 5:10Book four soon. So I can move on to book five.
- 5:14And for any listeners that is a court of frost and starlight, the Christmas special, as we all like to call out.
- 5:21Thank you. So scary. In Fairyland, it is the winter solstice. So we love it. It's really good.
- 5:29It is kind of like a fluffy book. It's a lot shorter, but there's a lot of like Easter eggs hidden within it.
- 5:35It's very little. It's a nice easy read, but you know, it's like you said, it's like the holiday special.
- 5:40They just kind of put it in there after a war. It's not as spicy as I've come to want from my Aqatar books.
- 5:49It's gotten a little PG-13 and I like mine a little more R-rated, but you have told me that the next one is gonna fill things.
- 5:57I'm a nested apologist, so it is good. It is good.
- 6:01I'm waiting for her to win me over. I still hate her.
- 6:04Speaking of Easter eggs, pretty recently, Taylor Swift did something that was chaotic of her go figure.
- 6:14And she released these playlists on Apple Music. So unfortunately, Spotify users had to wait a bit for some nice person to make these playlists for us.
- 6:26But she released what she calls the five stages of heartbreak Apple Music playlist.
- 6:32And so they're based on the stages of grief. And the first one is, I love you. It's ruining my life, which is denial.
- 6:41The second is, you don't get to tell me about sad, that's anger.
- 6:47Am I allowed to cry bargaining?
- 6:51Old habits die screaming, depression.
- 6:54Oh shit.
- 6:55And then--
- 6:56It's so depressing.
- 6:57Yeah, and then five, I can do it with a broken heart acceptance.
- 7:01And going through this was all of my favorite songs.
- 7:07She's like depressing shit.
- 7:10I really, really do. But like some of them were so good.
- 7:15Like, I love you. It's ruining my life.
- 7:17Is Betty, Willow, Cruel Summer, False God, Wilder Streams.
- 7:22And then you get into like, you don't get to tell me about sad.
- 7:25What if could have should have exiled? Oh my gosh.
- 7:28It was--
- 7:29No reputation though, right?
- 7:31No, there's not a single reputation track on here, which is very interesting.
- 7:35But I do believe that is more a calculated move on her part,
- 7:40because she has not re-recorded reputation.
- 7:44And there's only two albums left. It's debut and reputation.
- 7:48And I don't think there are any debut songs on it from what I have seen yet.
- 7:53Yeah, those don't seem very grief-filled.
- 7:56And I've always said, you know, "lover" is not a romantic album.
- 8:02It's not about falling in love. Reputation is.
- 8:05But people often think like, "lovers, I have the album."
- 8:08Reputation is a sad album. So it is very, very interesting.
- 8:12But reputation gives more revenge to me than like sad.
- 8:15It gives more like, "I'm pissed that people have been underestimating me this whole time."
- 8:20And I'm gonna show you why.
- 8:22It's giving you don't get to tell me about sad songs.
- 8:24You don't get to tell me about sad songs.
- 8:27Missed upper shame.
- 8:28Yeah, and you know, this tortured poet's release has largely been pretty quiet from her.
- 8:34I mean, she's doing like her 30,000 variants,
- 8:37which has just become her standard practice now.
- 8:40Wait, what is that? I don't know what that is.
- 8:42She just releases like a bunch of variants of the album with one song on them
- 8:46that you can only get, like you can only get all the songs if you buy them all.
- 8:51That's insane.
- 8:52Yeah, I can also buy them all.
- 8:53Missed girl's a business woman.
- 8:55And people are like, "Oh, it'll just come on streaming."
- 8:58But it took like almost a year for your losing to come out on streaming.
- 9:02It's all like, "Damn it. But I'm not gonna spend them on the on her."
- 9:05Taylor Swift got more variants than Loki, you know what I'm saying?
- 9:08Yeah, exactly.
- 9:10And so that is what I've been obsessed with.
- 9:13It's gonna be really exciting when tortured poets does come out.
- 9:17And I think she really is just telling us like,
- 9:21"It's gonna be a deep one."
- 9:25I'm ready for it.
- 9:26Are you ready for it?
- 9:28Don't run, don't run.
- 9:31We are ready for it if you cannot tell.
- 9:34My body is always ready for some tea swift.
- 9:36Ooh, your body is ready.
- 9:38Is that what you're telling me?
- 9:40Well, maybe not from the waist to weight.
- 9:42The knee down. My body's not ready from the knee down right now.
- 9:45That's gonna be six, eight weeks.
- 9:47I know. I'm surprised that you didn't add in that you're just watching a lot of foot related content.
- 9:53Listar is not in the way that you would think.
- 9:56Oh, I always watch it in the way you might think.
- 9:59Sean, did you want to tell the listar is about your lovely experience this weekend?
- 10:06So, Olivia and I, and one of our dear friends, Michaela, went on a "Girls' dream" to California.
- 10:13It's been an amazing time, but I am the biggest clutz in the world.
- 10:17You would never think that I was like a competitive dancer.
- 10:21Like, I am such a clutz.
- 10:24I will just be walking and just fall.
- 10:26I'll just fall.
- 10:27So, Olivia and I run bunk beds and I wanted the top bunk, 'cause that's cool.
- 10:31That's my fun.
- 10:33And we drank some adult beverages.
- 10:36Baparajino.
- 10:37Baparajinos.
- 10:38And then coming down the little ladder in the middle of the night to go pee,
- 10:41I skipped a few rungs and fell so hard on the ground.
- 10:46So hard.
- 10:47And I was trying so hard not to wake up, Olivia.
- 10:50And I was just grasping my foot, rocking back and forth, whimpering.
- 10:54She said, quote, like a dying dog.
- 10:57Like a dog who had shot you just like, like I woke up thinking that a dog was hurt in our bedroom somehow.
- 11:06How did it go?
- 11:07It's like, we're just up, he getting in here.
- 11:11Yeah, I'm like, wait, none of us traveled with our animals here.
- 11:14What is going on?
- 11:15And just me being a sad puppy.
- 11:17The funniest part about it is I still don't know like which way you fell.
- 11:22'Cause when I opened my eyes, like you were not in front of me.
- 11:26But the ladder was in front of me.
- 11:28Oh my god.
- 11:29So, I have no idea.
- 11:30All I know is that the next day, I was like, oh, we have one more day of this trip.
- 11:35I had my ace bandage and tight, that should up real tight.
- 11:38And I was like, it's just a little bow bow.
- 11:41That's fine.
- 11:42But it's the day one, I don't know, I'm just like, yeah, but it's been a great time guys.
- 11:46Doing great.
- 11:47Of course we could take a shot.
- 11:49Of course we could.
- 11:50Yeah, I went to the urgent care yesterday and I snapped my fifth meditarsal in my foot.
- 11:57So, I want crutches in a cast for the time being.
- 12:00Yeah, it's a pretty clean break.
- 12:02So, we're here hoping we get a no foot surgery for you.
- 12:08Please, yes, listeners manifest no foot surgery.
- 12:11And also manifest that I am like, okay, ish by fan fusion, because I have some really good cosplays planned.
- 12:17And otherwise I might have to do like sexy professor X or something.
- 12:22Barrow your bald cap.
- 12:24And you can just push me around and I'll be like, professor X.
- 12:30Oh my god, you can be sexy Magneto.
- 12:32That actually might be a slay.
- 12:34Okay, okay.
- 12:35Well, we'll see what the foot doctor says.
- 12:37She says, sure, she's on a shirt.
- 12:39Sure, sure, sure.
- 12:40But then I have to pay my whole body blue.
- 12:42And I'm going to wetting the next day.
- 12:44Yeah, blue.
- 12:45Oh, I thought you were saying the lady.
- 12:48Oh no.
- 12:49I mean, you could be her too.
- 12:51I'm thinking of Magneto.
- 12:53Magneto is like the old guy in his parents' diner, the God's.
- 12:59And he has metal powers.
- 13:01Yeah, I knew the metal powers.
- 13:03Oh, you're thinking of Mystique.
- 13:05Yeah, she has, she's blue.
- 13:07She's entirely blue.
- 13:08And they did.
- 13:09That could be fun too.
- 13:10Yeah, I don't know about that.
- 13:11Like I said, at the wedding next day I just show up like a man, someone from the blue man group.
- 13:16I'm afraid I just blew myself.
- 13:19Yes.
- 13:22Yes.
- 13:23Some might be into that though.
- 13:24Who knows?
- 13:25So send healing foot vibes.
- 13:28Or send me $25 and I'll send you a pic of my X-ray if you're into that kind of thing.
- 13:32Yeah, yeah.
- 13:33A picture on members, you know, it's a patriotic slew.
- 13:36A patriotic slew.
- 13:37Look at my bones.
- 13:39So speaking of your favorite, your one and only, week to week love, Shana, I'm curious.
- 13:53You know, we talked about it a little bit, but have you ever dabbled in fanfiction?
- 13:58I love fanfiction.
- 14:00Okay.
- 14:01I have never written one of my own.
- 14:03I have a friend who writes really good fanfiction.
- 14:06Shout out to him.
- 14:07And my favorite fanfictions are Kylo Ren and Rey.
- 14:12And it's spoilers for the most recent Star Wars movie.
- 14:17If Kylo survived in him and Rey, like went off in the sunset and banged.
- 14:22Or if he died, but then she was able to resurrect him with the force and then they banged.
- 14:27Mm-hmm.
- 14:28Mm-hmm.
- 14:29I also like Vegeta and Bulma from Dragon Ball until she gets pregnant and then I'm like,
- 14:35"Has his boring now they have a fucking baby."
- 14:37You're not a pregnancy trope, Groey.
- 14:40No, like, and babies just, I mean, okay, sorry to all the moms out there.
- 14:45She gets pregnant and then it just gets kind of boring.
- 14:48She's just kind of like pregnant.
- 14:51I want to know how she got pregnant because that's the bang in, but then I'm out.
- 14:56And I'm out.
- 14:57I'm good, I'm good after that.
- 14:59I'm good, I'm all set.
- 15:01I think I've moved on from it.
- 15:02What age did you start reading fanfiction?
- 15:05Oh gosh.
- 15:06I mean, I'm 35 now and I probably started reading fanfiction at like 28.
- 15:13Like, it was my late 20s.
- 15:15Yeah.
- 15:16So I wasn't on Harry Styles fanfic, like, we talked about it, you're nodding book.
- 15:23This is a more recent development in my life.
- 15:26I guess in the avid in the last 10 years or so.
- 15:28Okay.
- 15:29What about you, do you like fanfic?
- 15:31So I am like, I was kind of adjacent to the one direction.
- 15:35I was like in between this one.
- 15:38And so when all those youngins were going crazy over fanfic, I was like, "I don't like
- 15:44that stuff.
- 15:45I am so cool."
- 15:46I wasn't.
- 15:47I don't masturbate.
- 15:48I don't have a bad one.
- 15:51But, you know, I was more just like, why would I want to read that?
- 15:56I like the Twilight movies, but I never really liked the Twilight books itself.
- 16:02So fanfic, you just seemed to me like, worse writing than Twilight.
- 16:07It definitely took me a while to like get out.
- 16:09Because at first I was in that mindset too and I was like, "Why would I want to read something,
- 16:14an unprofessional writer wrote in something that isn't canon?"
- 16:18Like, because I take canon so seriously.
- 16:20But then eventually I'm like, I mean, isn't that all writers in the beginning?
- 16:25No, you're an unprofessional writer until you're a professional writer.
- 16:28You got to start somewhere.
- 16:30And there's some, like, they have fanfic awards.
- 16:32There's some really good writers out there.
- 16:35There's some laughable ones, like the famous Evan Essence Harry Potter crossover one,
- 16:40which is so bad.
- 16:42So bad that it's good.
- 16:44Basically like Twilight.
- 16:45But then there's others that are like, really good.
- 16:47And like, this is good shit.
- 16:49This is like a novel.
- 16:51Yeah.
- 16:52And I think the first fan fiction that I read in Air Quotes would have been 50 Shades of
- 16:58Bray, which that's a lot of people don't necessarily know this, but 50 Shades of
- 17:03Bray is a Twilight fanfic.
- 17:06If Edward was just a billionaire and Bella was just a different Bella, I don't know.
- 17:12I don't know.
- 17:13I've never seen Orbeth.
- 17:14Yeah.
- 17:15Yeah.
- 17:16But it's like kind of a couple years later.
- 17:18So that's one of the first really well-known fanfics.
- 17:23There is a fairy of like famous One Direction fanfic that has the quintessential dark Harry,
- 17:30which got turned into the after movies.
- 17:34What?
- 17:35Yeah.
- 17:36So the book and the after books, they're all incredibly terrible.
- 17:41I do not recommend watching it at all.
- 17:45But one of the more interesting ones, and I don't know if you've kind of heard of this on
- 17:48book talk or anything like that, but one that has been taken by Storm recently is Manacold.
- 17:55It is a Harry Potter fan fiction and people freaked out over it.
- 18:01It's one of the most like acclaimed fanfictions ever.
- 18:04In Tristance.
- 18:05In Tristance.
- 18:06Send Lin Yu, and they just picked it up to do it as a book.
- 18:11But then you get into this really interesting.
- 18:14It's a Harry Potter fan fan.
- 18:16Yeah.
- 18:17So like can they make it into a book?
- 18:18And you see, I can see how Harry Potter fanfic would serve a lot of fans who don't want to
- 18:22support JK Rowling anymore.
- 18:24Yep.
- 18:25But still are so invested in that universe.
- 18:28And so they kind of claimed Harry Potter as their own.
- 18:32And now they're like, we'll make our own stories that don't have anti-Semitic and turfy
- 18:36undertones.
- 18:37We got this.
- 18:38We can do this.
- 18:39Yeah.
- 18:40Yeah, absolutely.
- 18:41And so I've kind of started to open up to it where some are truly like a teenager writing
- 18:48in their bedroom.
- 18:49Who doesn't really understand the career of even like a waitress, but they're writing
- 18:54what they do.
- 18:55So it's kind of funny.
- 18:57You know that might be relevant to what we're going to talk about.
- 18:59Oh my God.
- 19:00I think that fanfiction can get so fun and silly.
- 19:03Like you mentioned there are a lot of really famous ones that people read out.
- 19:08There's always like a lot of Draco Malfoy ones.
- 19:11Really enough.
- 19:12Just check out Malfoy's daddy.
- 19:13Well, when he's a Vage.
- 19:14Yes, when he's actually a Vage in parentheses.
- 19:19It's daddy when he's not.
- 19:20When he's a daddy.
- 19:22And daddy when he is not child.
- 19:24I also love that like fanfic.
- 19:26You can put any two universes that you possibly want to together.
- 19:30So if you're like, Oh, I think Buffy would do great in the Lucifer universe.
- 19:34You can write a fan think about that.
- 19:36So crossover.
- 19:37See.
- 19:38Yeah.
- 19:39Crossroads.
- 19:40Crossroads.
- 19:41Cross over.
- 19:42Like we took the crossroads to the crossover.
- 19:45Speaking of our crossroads into the journey of crossovers, we talked a little bit a couple
- 19:50weeks ago about Gordon Ramsay fanfic and how we think that there would be a really great
- 19:57environment for that.
- 20:00And so Sean and I, you know, well, Nicole is away on her vacation.
- 20:04I don't think she would want to do this.
- 20:07We're going to take a little mind vacation of our own and we're going to talk a little
- 20:13bit about fan fiction.
- 20:15Now I found some on Wattpad, but where it got really, really good was an archive of our own.
- 20:21Archive of our own is where I read all of my fanfic.
- 20:24Okay.
- 20:25You hear it here first.
- 20:26Use archive of our own.
- 20:28And it goes.
- 20:29A lot of people shorthand it and call it a O3.
- 20:32Yeah.
- 20:33So Sean, I want you to start us off with your lovely piece of fan fiction.
- 20:39And maybe you can read us some of the tags and really exciting stuff that we're going to
- 20:46get into.
- 20:47All right.
- 20:48I won't read the entire thing, but I'll read certain paragraphs so we get the jis to
- 20:52the plot.
- 20:53Yeah.
- 20:54So the title is desperation and degradation.
- 21:00Shrek and Gordon Ramsay.
- 21:03That's beautiful.
- 21:05Not safe for work tag.
- 21:09Some of the tags are smut, lemon, blow jobs, semi public sex and Shrek is love, Shrek is
- 21:19life.
- 21:20I love how my men is second.
- 21:22I know, lemon, lemon.
- 21:24All right.
- 21:26Chef Shrek, the green ogre jumped as he heard his name.
- 21:30He didn't even have to look to recognize the voice of his sexy mentor.
- 21:35Bashfully, Shrek turned his gaze to Gordon Ramsay, who was alluming above him.
- 21:41The mere presence of the man made the orc want to fold in on himself.
- 21:45Yes, Shrek, Shrek whimpered, feebly stirring his clumsy risotto.
- 21:52All right.
- 21:53Now that he's talking shit about Shrek's risotto.
- 21:58And so now we're getting down to, oh, he's a character, either he's a contestant on
- 22:04Hell's Kitchen, on Hell's Kitchen.
- 22:07Oh no, Master Chef.
- 22:08Okay.
- 22:09Okay.
- 22:10So.
- 22:11So.
- 22:12So.
- 22:13So.
- 22:14Yes.
- 22:15Come on.
- 22:16We all see the way you are with Shrek, the other judge Aaron piped in.
- 22:18He left like a hyena, high pitched and annoying.
- 22:21It made an alpha male, like Gordon wanted to snap him in half, like the beta twig that he
- 22:26was.
- 22:27To both of you shot the fuck up, Gordon snapped, turning his attention back to his sweet little
- 22:33Shrek.
- 22:34Gordon's heart fluttered, an unfamiliar sensation.
- 22:38Oh, the other contestants, by the way, are Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Elon Musk.
- 22:44Chef Taylor, bring up your plate, Joe called out to the blonde, Gordon glanced over to Taylor,
- 22:50watching her carry her seemingly perfect dish up to the judges.
- 22:54I've couldn't tell if he admired or was invious of her.
- 22:58Taylor Swift is talented, beautiful and elegant in every way.
- 23:03She's perfect and her cooking was no different.
- 23:06I wonder if this person's a Swiftie.
- 23:08Taylor, what are you doing here?
- 23:11Taylor, no.
- 23:16Chef Lady, Aaron called the other chef's name, summoning the other blonde.
- 23:21Lady Gaga created extremely flavorful dishes, but they were always too strong for most
- 23:25the judges.
- 23:26The spice was nearly unbearable for a massive majority of the population.
- 23:31She's also a little monster.
- 23:33She a little monster.
- 23:34She a little too spicy.
- 23:35The other blonde.
- 23:36The other blonde.
- 23:37That blonde number one and blonde number two.
- 23:40All right, here's, here's Chef's turn.
- 23:44Gordon teased the salmon with his fork, slowly tearing off its tender flesh.
- 23:49He held it up to the light staring into its juices.
- 23:52Gordon stared at Shrek knowingly.
- 23:55His blue eyes sparkling with amusement.
- 23:57Gordon loved to watch Shrek squirm.
- 24:00Slowly the salmon entered Gordon's lips.
- 24:03"It's raw!"
- 24:05Gordon roared, losing his composure in an instant.
- 24:08This is pathetic, truly horrible.
- 24:11I can't believe you'd serve this to us.
- 24:13I'm disappointed in you, Shrek.
- 24:15How could you mess up such a staple meal?
- 24:18Tears formed in Shrek's eyes.
- 24:21This was all he worked for.
- 24:23He gave up everything to be here and he threw it away because of a pathetic fuck up.
- 24:29He's about to turn around and leave the room.
- 24:31Shrek, how much do you want to be here?
- 24:34More than anything.
- 24:35Shrek's response was instant.
- 24:37I'll do anything to be here.
- 24:39Anything?
- 24:40Something, Casdard.
- 24:42Something dark cast over Gordon's eyes kept using Shrek.
- 24:46Bind over.
- 24:47"Duck Gordon can't hurt you."
- 24:51Shrek stared up at Shok at the chef.
- 24:54Was he hearing that right?
- 24:55Did I stutter?
- 24:57Shrek stared up in horror, something deep swirling inside of him, making his lips
- 25:02tremble.
- 25:04The producer shouted to turn off the camera, desperately trying to get the show back on track.
- 25:09"Keep the cameras on.
- 25:11Everyone should see this," said Gordon Ramsay.
- 25:16"Do you want to be here?"
- 25:18Yes, Shrek admitted.
- 25:19"Good boy now, do what I say."
- 25:24Gordon smirked, satisfied.
- 25:26He grabbed the back of Shrek's neck, bending him over the table, knocking off everything
- 25:31in one swoop.
- 25:33The chefs were equally horrified.
- 25:34Lady Gaga started to have a complete mental breakdown.
- 25:37Taylor Swift left and Elon Musk passed out.
- 25:42"Elon, what are you doing here?"
- 25:44"Why is Elon here?
- 25:46He didn't even get to serve them."
- 25:48"Oh, chef, a moan slip out of Shrek's lips."
- 25:51"You're a do-do-do little thing, aren't you?
- 25:53Do you want me that bad?"
- 25:55Shrek hesitated, awkwardly stuttering a mix of syllables.
- 25:58"Do you want it Shrek beg for it?"
- 26:00"Yes, chef, please, I'm your do-do-do little, Olga."
- 26:04"Good boy.
- 26:06Now do exactly as I want."
- 26:09"I want Gordon's slap Shrek's green ass again, making him yelp."
- 26:14"I want to taste you."
- 26:16"Okay."
- 26:18"I'm so sweaty."
- 26:21"That's in there?"
- 26:25"Yes, in there."
- 26:26"I'm not making any of this up.
- 26:28This is all in here."
- 26:29"Their tongue is wrestled for a moment before Gordon asserted dominance, instantly flipping
- 26:35Shrek over on his back and toppling him with primal aggression."
- 26:39"He growled again, ripping off Shrek's clothes but leaving his apron on, and then they enjoy
- 26:48each other in the kitchen in ways that you will have to read if you want to know the explicit
- 26:54detail about it.
- 26:55But let's just say they were cooking.
- 26:58Things were getting hot.
- 26:59Things were getting hot in the Master's Chef kitchen.
- 27:02"They enjoy each other like you enjoy your favorite dish."
- 27:06"Mmm, taste it, taste it."
- 27:11Later that day, Lady Gaga was eliminated from the Master's Chef kitchen, end of story.
- 27:16"That's literally the last line."
- 27:18"Wow, poor Lady Gaga."
- 27:20"Whoever wrote that, how dare you."
- 27:26So that was everything I needed in my life.
- 27:29"That was disgusting."
- 27:30"It was disgusting."
- 27:31"But I'm strangely hungry."
- 27:33"Yeah, now I want it."
- 27:36"So, good job to that fricking 17-year-old and her parents' basement writing down."
- 27:42"Oh my God."
- 27:43"She writes in the bottom, she goes, 'I'm so sorry, you guys.'"
- 27:49"This is something that should have stayed unpublished, but you published it."
- 27:53"And for that, I think you are so brave and I'd love you."
- 27:56"We need warriors."
- 27:57"Why would you do something so brave and so good?"
- 27:59"We need warriors."
- 28:00"We need warrior spirits like you in the Wapad community."
- 28:05"Oh my God."
- 28:06"That was amazing."
- 28:07"All right, we need to hear yours because yours also is Mr. Ramsey, right?"
- 28:11"Yes, so apparently we really get what these individuals are writing about Gordon Ramsey.
- 28:18That's something we are going to unpack with our therapist at some point in time.
- 28:24But the one that I picked, it is part of a series that is called "Take Me to Flavor Town."
- 28:31"Oh my God, it's Gaifi, are you there?"
- 28:33"Yes, Gaifi, I'm here."
- 28:35"Gaifi, what are you doing here?"
- 28:38"Love it."
- 28:39"So this specific one is Randevoo in the crusty crab, so not only do we have Gaifi, we have
- 28:48SpongeBob, we have Gordon Ramsey, we are excited.
- 28:53There are some surprise gas such as squid words.
- 28:58Like Mr. Crab's better be there, he better not give anyone crabs.
- 29:02"Yeah, Eugene Crab's is deep in there, so he's deep in there."
- 29:07"Yeah, yeah, he's deep.
- 29:09So the summary, this is by conventional killjoy, by the way.
- 29:13So Gaifi are in SpongeBob SquarePants, we're supposed to have their happy ending, but then
- 29:18Gai's ex walked back into the picture, or the part two nobody asked for.
- 29:25Is the summary?"
- 29:26"What are some of the tags?"
- 29:27"Yes, the tags we have here are satire, she wanted everyone to know that.
- 29:34Good for her, good for her."
- 29:36"Animies to lover, alternative universe, a badly written smut, sidewalk sex, yep, you
- 29:42read that right."
- 29:44And then the author regrets everything, I'm currently questioning my life choices.
- 29:49So she gets it.
- 29:50"At least they're self-aware, they're self-aware, yes."
- 29:53And the notes, before you start reading, I regret both everything and nothing, this is
- 29:58cursed, this is the worst thing I've ever written, and this is spent an entire, an embarrassingly
- 30:03long time in my drops.
- 30:05"Oh, I'm excited."
- 30:06"And so I'll set you into the mood.
- 30:10Gaifi are in SpongeBob SquarePants, we're supposed to have their happy ending, and they
- 30:13did for a while.
- 30:15For about a year or so, the two at a grand time going on dates and bikini potting, having
- 30:20loud sex in the crusty crab."
- 30:22"Ooh, you dirty bird."
- 30:23"It's crusted."
- 30:24"It's much less."
- 30:25"It's much less."
- 30:26"It's squid who worked their disappointment.
- 30:29Yes, their love life was thriving."
- 30:31And so Gaifi are his ex arrived in Bukini Bottom, and once his ex arrived in the underwater
- 30:36city, he went straight to the crusty crab.
- 30:39Gaifi are his ex wasn't anyone.
- 30:40No, he was probably just one of the most well-known food critics above the sea, where
- 30:44Gai is originally from.
- 30:47His ex is none other than the British celebrity chef, restaurant tool, television presenter.
- 30:53And writer known as Gordon Ramsay.
- 30:55Oh, and his title, "Fell in his title."
- 30:58"Ristrant tour."
- 30:59"Ristrant tour."
- 31:00And writes her, known as Gordon Ramsay.
- 31:04Now he was here in Bukini Bottom, but with one mission in mind, he was going to tear the
- 31:08crusty crab to pieces.
- 31:10Figuratively, of course, there were too many legal issues involving actually destroying
- 31:14the restaurant.
- 31:16Gordon Ramsay's presence was felt before he entered the crusty crab.
- 31:19Dramatically, the chef flung open the double doors as he entered the restaurant.
- 31:23It was already hard.
- 31:24It was already hard.
- 31:25That was always hard.
- 31:27Okay, that was always hard.
- 31:29As he entered the restaurant, a camera crew following behind him, heads turned, wondering
- 31:34who this hunky middle-aged chef was.
- 31:36The hunkyest of chefs.
- 31:38He's the hunkyest.
- 31:40He is.
- 31:41The gourmet chef studied the dining room decor.
- 31:44What is this bullshit?
- 31:45He was casually walking over and flipping over a table.
- 31:48It's a piece of cheek.
- 31:50It was impressive because the table had been bolted, but because of Gordon's muscular and
- 31:55toned bronze biceps, he was able to lift the table like it weighed nothing.
- 32:00He threw the table out the window.
- 32:02Why did he throw the table out the window?
- 32:04Was it outdated?
- 32:05Or did Gordon have a personal vendetta against all tables?
- 32:08I leave that up to the reader.
- 32:09Oh my god, yes, yes.
- 32:14So they have a little exchange in here.
- 32:25What's going on, babe?
- 32:30Sponged into his love as touch.
- 32:32The anger faded from Gordon's eyes.
- 32:34Replace by sorrowful look.
- 32:36Babe, I thought I was you, babe.
- 32:39Guys, check that out.
- 32:41Not anymore, Gordon.
- 32:42He said softly.
- 32:43We are done.
- 32:44Our relationship ended 10 years ago.
- 32:46I couldn't give you everything.
- 32:48Gordon said, his gaze struck on the arm around Spongebob ways.
- 32:52The older chef, Gaze Group Angi.
- 32:54Angi?
- 32:55Angi?
- 32:56Angi?
- 32:57Angi?
- 32:58Don't talk me, me Angi.
- 33:02As he sized up this competition, Spongebob of Shervo to do, just glared back, tangent
- 33:07swirled in the air between the two chefs.
- 33:10Rob has already given me everything he stated, almost as if he was proving where his loyalty
- 33:15is light.
- 33:16He kissed Spongebob on the lips right in front of Gordon, fire burned in Gordon's eyes.
- 33:20That proves nothing.
- 33:21I can do that too.
- 33:22With that, Gordon ran up and took Spongebob's face in between his two homes and kissed him
- 33:27longingly on the mouth.
- 33:28I don't know if it was reason.
- 33:30I don't know.
- 33:31Oh my god.
- 33:33Although we were surprised at first, Spongebob found himself melting into the kiss.
- 33:37His thin arms grasped Gordon's super sexy biceps.
- 33:42The sun has found him bringing the gourmet chef closer to him.
- 33:46Guy watched his ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend make out with each other.
- 33:50It was very hot.
- 33:51Guy got the hots watching them.
- 33:53He wanted to join in.
- 33:54So he approached the two and began kissing Gordon on the mouth.
- 33:58With his hand around, Spongebob was ways to.
- 34:02The three of them began to grope and kiss one another repeatedly.
- 34:07All of a sudden some red crab burst in the room.
- 34:10Hey.
- 34:11Hey.
- 34:12Hey.
- 34:13Hey.
- 34:14He yelled as he clutched dollars bills to his friend.
- 34:17You money.
- 34:18Yeah.
- 34:19And do that shit elsewhere.
- 34:20Fuck off you donkey.
- 34:21I just think I'm a donkey.
- 34:27Gordon hissed.
- 34:28I've compared him to two reptiles now.
- 34:30Are dragons reptiles?
- 34:32Get the hell out of my kitchen.
- 34:34The crab roared.
- 34:35He reached with one of his claws to pinch Gordon.
- 34:38Spongebob grabbed his red arm before he could reach the honky chef.
- 34:42No.
- 34:43And then so they go outside and do things.
- 34:47I do things.
- 34:49Okay.
- 34:50I'm going to read that they start to do the things.
- 34:52As the three of them were having sex with one another, Gordon spied a manhole in the
- 34:58sidewalk.
- 34:59But I can fit in one of those holes.
- 35:01Gordon thought to him.
- 35:02Why?
- 35:03Why would you think that during sex?
- 35:04He pulled out a guy here and stuck his, you know what?
- 35:08Into one of the holes.
- 35:09He began thrusting and the sidewalk magically came to life and started moaning.
- 35:15Stop it right now.
- 35:17Okay.
- 35:18I need you to DM this to me because I want to read the entire thing.
- 35:23It is so incredibly funny.
- 35:25And the final note that this author puts is God has left this place.
- 35:30You know, I think one of the beauties of the human experience is that sometimes you have
- 35:37an idea and you can see it through and people on a podcast will read your work one day to
- 35:44others for fun.
- 35:45I agree.
- 35:46Isn't that beautiful?
- 35:47Like, the two stories we just read have no business existing.
- 35:52Yeah.
- 35:53But they do.
- 35:54But they do.
- 35:55And they were both incredible.
- 35:56And shout out to the authors.
- 35:58It was beautiful.
- 36:00It was incredible.
- 36:01Did, am I angry?
- 36:03Yes.
- 36:04Do I need a shower?
- 36:06Yes.
- 36:07Am I happy?
- 36:08Yeah.
- 36:09Yeah.
- 36:10Did I?
- 36:11Yeah, I did.
- 36:12I did.
- 36:13I said like that.
- 36:14Would I want anyone to know, except our dear listeners that we had to search for these?
- 36:20Probably not.
- 36:21I read quite a few actually that were.
- 36:23Yes, you did.
- 36:24But we're just like human pieces, but I think I like the silly, silly, silly.
- 36:29I like the Shrek and SpongeBob battery.
- 36:31Shrek.
- 36:32SpongeBob's skinny yellow arms.
- 36:34Like, you could picture just his stupid noodle arms to strapping around Gordon Ramsay.
- 36:38Yeah.
- 36:39And I love that.
- 36:40I love that.
- 36:41Yes.
- 36:42And if you were interested in how Guy Fury and SpongeBob Square Pan's got together, you
- 36:46can check out the Take Me To Flavor Town series.
- 36:49So that was part two.
- 36:51That was the second act break-up together.
- 36:53Yeah.
- 36:54Maybe not a break-up.
- 36:55Maybe it's a threple.
- 36:56I think it's a thread one.
- 36:58There is another third one.
- 36:59And she wrote.
- 37:00She wrote.
- 37:01She wrote on the 2023 soon.
- 37:03Who knows?
- 37:04We want another one.
- 37:05We need the Diners Drive-Ins and Dives.
- 37:08Fan-fic community to show up for her.
- 37:10We need a next level chef one.
- 37:13I'm dripping.
- 37:14I'm so sweaty.
- 37:15Oh my god.
- 37:16It's getting too hot here.
- 37:18It's too hot to handle.
- 37:20I think we should wrap this thing up.
- 37:23I hope all of our characters wrapped it up.
- 37:26If you have a favorite fan fiction or some pop culture junky fan fiction that you'd like to share with us, we would love to see you in the DMs.
- 37:38Who knows?
- 37:39Maybe we will even write our own fanfic about you guys sending us DMs.
