Welcome to another episode of Pop Culture Junkie. I'm Olivia here with my fellow Junkies.
0:32
Nicole. And Shauna, I realize I sing that every week. It's Shauna. It's Shauna.
0:39
I like your flare. Thank you. When I was a bartender years ago in college and when it was my shift
0:49
the DJ, I would play that clip from Ferris Bueller's Day off, where she's like, "Well, my name,
0:55
some people call me Shauna." The song background goes, "Shauna, Shauna." So,
1:02
I would just hang up to everybody. I do. It's my husband singing it. Not really. He's just
1:09
snorting and farting. Like the voice in your head is Andrew singing it to you.
1:13
Or are you impersonating it or is he singing it? Do you like how none of those options where he's actually
1:21
literally was like, "Wait, that's not what I said." The answer to that is, yes.
1:28
I love that for you. I love that for you. So, I think that really enlightening song.
1:35
What have we been obsessed with this week? Okay. So, I have been... I don't want to say
1:45
Benjing. I can't say Benjing because it's just a week-to-week show. It's called Shogun. And it's on
1:51
Hulu. I'm going to try my best with these names. Please excuse my whiteness. It stars Hiruki Senata,
2:01
Anna Saiwae, and Cosmo Jarvis, which is the funniest fucking name I've ever heard in my life.
2:07
I use Jarvis AI. Yeah. Cosmo Jarvis is not a porn star name. This is an actual actor.
2:15
Sounds like AI written. Well, that's because you're thinking of Jarvis from...
2:19
No. From Marvel. Tony's like AI assistant is named Jarvis. You know more about Marvel than you
2:28
thought you did. It's deep in there. It's deep in the time. It's deep in the time. Okay. So, Show Gun
2:34
is set in Japan in the year 1600. Lord Yoshi Tara Naga is fighting for his life. He's part of a
2:43
council of regents. Cosmo Jarvis's character is named John Blackthorn. He is a pirate. He's trying
2:51
to disguise himself as a traitor. Trader, not traitor. He trades things. Oh. He's a traitor.
3:00
People think he's a traitor. Okay. It's very similar to that movie starring Tom Cruise
3:07
back in the day. Oh gosh. Last samurai. Oh god. But this is an incredible show. I'm going to chew my
3:16
own horn for two seconds and it's going to be really annoying. I've been to Japan twice. I love
3:22
Japanese culture. I do think that they're doing a really good job staying true, like culturally.
3:28
I'm learning a lot of words in Japanese that I didn't know before, which is funny.
3:33
I'm having a hard time understanding how you just compared it to the Tom Cruise lusts.
3:38
I know. So apparently this show is based on a true story. In the beginning, I felt like this
3:48
is going to be whitewashing Japanese history a lot. But I don't feel like that show is doing this.
3:54
So, John Blackthorn's character is an on-gen, which is pilots. So he's relating to their culture.
4:01
When they first find him, he keeps calling them barbarians. He's totally against Japanese culture.
4:08
He doesn't know anything. Spoiler alert. He ends up falling for one of the women. He ends up
4:14
getting accepted into their culture. Lord Yoshi takes him in as a student. It seems like he's
4:21
going to get to know Japanese culture in a very deep and meaningful way. So I think that it's
4:26
more respectful that the Tom Cruise movie. And I did keep saying to my husband we first watch the
4:30
show. If this white man is the main character of this show, I'm going to be so fucking pissed
4:35
because that is going to be just so whitewashing. And he is one of the main characters. But I do feel
4:40
like Lord Yoshi is the main character that we're kind of following. And so I'm really enjoying it so
4:47
far. It's got great visuals, great action. I don't know. I'm going to pop show gun. I'm only
4:54
four episodes in now. What's it on? It is on. Hello. Oh, I really I'm healing. What have you guys been watching?
5:02
So I don't know if you guys have seen quiet on set. Yeah. Oh my god, not yet. But I've seen you posting
5:12
about it. Okay. Trigger warning. This is a very complex topic. And quiet on set is an expose
5:23
documentary about Dan Schneider and Nickelodeon as a whole. This has been kind of a very
5:33
popular topic that we have seen kind of in the last like five years talking. It was post me to
5:41
movement. I really feel where people started to look back at the abuse that was happening. Like the
5:48
child star started to look backwards and say, okay, I don't necessarily think what happened to me
5:54
was great. And they wanted to start looking back at it. Amanda Bines is a giant topic of discussion
6:04
throughout this. It's four episodes. So it's on HBO Max. It is also on ID if you are still a cable
6:11
pair. Totally. You know, love that for you. One of the best expose documentaries that I have seen,
6:21
I think for them to take on this subject was really, really complex. Now what is crazy about this
6:29
documentary is Drake Bell did an interview. And Drake Bell was very famous when I was growing up.
6:38
So I grew up in the Amanda show era. I was kind of on my way out of Nickelodeon and like Disney
6:46
channel right at that time where Drake and Josh probably like right as that was the same ending.
6:54
I love to Amanda show but Drake and Josh was like this. Those were the last of my child stars.
6:59
I love Josh peg. Yeah, I used to have a big giant crush on Drake Bell when I was younger. And he
7:05
doesn't interview. And one of the crazy parts that if you follow the dance Shinder story you've seen
7:13
is there was a vocal coach on the set of Nickelodeon that got convicted of sexually assaulting a child.
7:24
And they never knew who it was. The person never came forward. It was never disclosed but he got
7:33
16 months in jail which is terrible. What do you mean? Yeah, that's disgusting. He never came out
7:40
until now. And he does this interview talking about what happened to him and all of this stuff.
7:46
And I don't know if it was okay. So you're saying that Drake Bell came out as the plaintiff
7:51
and before he was anonymous, right? Yes, he was 15. Got it. When the charges against Brian
7:59
Pegg happened. No relation to Josh. Correct. Yes. And so he also worked with Leonardo DiCaprio. He
8:07
has been seen around a lot of child stars. She says the really, really uncomfortable videos of him
8:14
like rubbing all over Leo when he's also that age range. Drake Bell is quoted saying that
8:24
they want him to talk about what happened to him and their whatever you want to talk about. It's
8:30
totally fine. He says, imagine the worst thing you could ever imagine happening in a sexual assault.
8:37
That happened. And they they show a little bit of like the charges against it. And they talk a little
8:43
bit about how when he goes in to give his statement at sentencing, the entire courtroom is filled with
8:52
all of these stars like James Marston is there. I can't even remember who Ellis is on there because
9:00
it's just so atrocious. Yeah. But he talks a little bit about his speech and he basically says,
9:07
you will all have to sit with the memory of you defending this man. And I will have to live the
9:13
experience with this trauma did. And that you all sat here and tried to get him a lesser sentence.
9:18
And he did get a lesser sentence. He got 16 months and right after getting out of prison, he started
9:25
working on his sweet life as Akhen Cody. He treated him to the Disney Channel. And the craziest
9:32
thing about this is up until this situation happened. It's actually like because of this man. Now
9:39
child predators can't work on sets where children are. And that just happened in 2015. You said,
9:46
it was like, I'd never know. It was even after that. That's just out of the law before. And they talk a lot
9:51
about Jan Schneider. I think they couldn't really talk about the accusations of him also participating
9:58
in things like that because they couldn't, they would have be seen. Yeah, their accusations.
10:03
Yeah, but they do talk about him like abusing people. And the reason that they ultimately fired him
10:10
from Nickelodeon was during the Me Too movement. And he was creating an abusive set for people. And he
10:16
ended up departing it. And they talk a lot about that, but they don't really go into like the
10:23
rumors around Amanda Bines. Like they touch on it. They say that was some weird behavior. But
10:30
yeah. And they touch on how uncomfortable it was. And I mean, we all saw the TikToks last year with
10:35
the compilations of Ariana when she was on. Yeah, yeah. They have the Ariana clips in there. Yeah.
10:41
Yeah, if you just type Dan Schneider creepy Ariana videos, they'll pull them right up there.
10:47
Just stir big. Yeah. And you know, I do want to say that like Drake Bell has gone through his own
10:53
legal issues. He was arrested for attempted endangering of a child in disseminating matter,
11:02
harmful to juveniles. So that none of this is to say, oh, any of that exonerates him.
11:09
That's how it happened to you. And then you can turn around and do exactly. It's just this
11:13
disgusting cycle of what was happened to you. Abused people abuse. And that's not an excuse for him
11:19
at all. Because that's disgusting. But it's just sad as eye opening. Like we've had episodes before
11:25
about child stars, especially Nickelodeon and Disney stars. And they seem so happy at the time.
11:31
And they create this illusion like when you're watching it. Oh, I wish I could be on Nickelodeon. I
11:36
wish I was on Disney. And now years later now that we're all adults in kind of the same age.
11:40
How famous occurs how it really was. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Interesting. Where can we watch that?
11:48
Was it a show? Is it a show? It's a four-part docu-series. Amazing, amazing, amazing show.
11:55
Gonna give it a whirl. I don't think I've loved a documentary that much since like going clear.
12:02
Which is also an HVU. Gonna give it a try. Do it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it.
12:11
Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it. Pop it.
12:13
Kind of backpilling on that before I go into my Janet McCurdy in her book. Yes. Mm-hmm.
12:18
I'm glad my mom died. She even talks about Dan Schneider and how he abused her. Abused her.
12:23
Abused her. Yes. Thank you. And she kind of talked about it before. This old docu-series came out and
12:29
she was the not the first one, but wanted to become very vocal about him before. I feel like maybe
12:35
a lot of others because she just didn't care anymore. She wanted to get the word out. She was comfortable
12:40
enough to talk about it. And it's just crazy that he was on sets in the head of Nickelodeon for so long
12:50
and abusing so many children for so long. Yeah. And it just sliding under the rug for so long.
12:56
And it's disgusting. I think that she really was able to just highlight like how insidious. Yeah.
13:06
That was to her psyche. I still remember that vine that she made where she she like has this crazy
13:14
makeup and she's like laying on the ground and she says do you see what you've done to me, Dan Schneider?
13:20
What? It's like a print today. I think I'd be there. Wow. Yeah. I was just fine to impose it.
13:27
I love vine. All right. Keep vine. Back in the day. Back in the day. Back in the trenches of the
13:32
old memory bank. I quote vine. They just come out every once in a while. They're in there. They're
13:37
deep in there. All right. What have you been watching Nicole or listening to Obsess with?
13:42
I watched a movie called The Hill on Netflix. It stars Dennis Quaid and Colin Ford.
13:51
It came out in 2023 and it is an American biographical sports drama. And it is about a baseball
13:58
player Ricky Hill overcoming a physical handicap in order to try out for a legendary Major's league scout.
14:05
I feel like I've heard of Ricky Hill before. It is a true story. It's based on a true story. And
14:11
he has a spinal condition to where it makes him. It's hard for him to walk. It's hard for him to
14:18
use his legs. So he has these casts on his legs. And so obviously with baseball, you have to run
14:23
bases. You have to field the ball and everything like that. And Dennis Quaid in this movie is a
14:29
pastor at a church. And Colin Ford, who is the baseball player Ricky Hill, he loves baseball.
14:39
He wants to become a professional baseball player. But Dennis Quaid is pastor James Hill is not for
14:45
this because he believes that it's kind of just going to injure him more and just doesn't think that
14:51
it's good for him. But Ricky is all for it because he knows his ability. He believes in himself and
14:56
wants to pursue this. So there's the living in this little town and scouts come and Ricky kind of
15:03
goes behind his dad's back and goes and tries out for these scouts. And he makes it because he hits the
15:10
ball so far. He hits it way over the fence and onto this other field where the scouts are and the
15:16
scouts are just impressed. They get hit in the head. They literally almost do. So the scouts are
15:23
impressed and they want to see him try out more. Long story short, kind of a spoiler alert. He does
15:30
make it. Oh my god. He does. I'm shocked. Yeah. And Pastor James Hill does not support. He does not
15:40
come to any single one of his games, which makes Ricky a little bit sad. But Daddy Dennis. I know.
15:47
Daddy Pastor Dennis. Oh god. If I ever say Daddy Pastor again, please, unalive me.
15:53
But it's a really good movie. It's really cute. Again, it is actually pretty uplifting.
15:59
Uplifting sports movies remind me of Unicorn. Yeah. That's my jam. I know that anything sports are
16:06
now airplanes. I can rock. So I would definitely pop it. It is on Netflix again. Again, Dennis Quaid.
16:16
I am obsessed with him ever since the parent trap, which is my favorite movie. If we didn't know,
16:20
I think I mentioned that before that of after tomorrow. But I love that. Have you been loving all the
16:28
parent trap Lindsey Lohan Contest? Yes. The Lohan sauce. Are we getting another one?
16:34
No, but she did say that she's going to do another freaky Friday or Angelina. Yes.
16:41
And then why is she also doing because it's the Lohan sauce, Olivia. I want more. Okay. So,
16:48
Olivia and I tried watching that Lindsey Lohan Christmas movie that came out of you a couple of
16:52
years ago. The one where she gets like a concussion. Yes. It's so bad. I don't think I
16:58
watched it. We finished it. We ended up on mute. We ended up on mute and just taking shots when things
17:04
happen. We were like, okay, we're going to put it on mute and then we're going to guess what's
17:08
happening. We kept watching and we kind of like filled in the lines for like, oh my god. I'm
17:14
my memory is coming back. That's what funny. We got a safe Christmas. And then we would take shots.
17:19
And it was a great movie at that point. That's funny. But I am very happy for Lindsey. I am too.
17:25
Speaking of Lindsey, I just want to pop one more thing actually. I did watch the new Mean Girls.
17:29
I love Renee rap. Actually, because of Renee rap, I'm going to pop it. She is a hottie. Yes.
17:38
And I'm obsessed with her. So I'm going to pop it. It is a musical, which I knew going into it. But
17:43
before it coming out, I did not know it. I knew it because of the people coming out of the theaters.
17:48
Yeah. They've seen it on the Broadway musical. Yes. So it was pretty good. I cannot think of his name,
17:54
but the original principal in it and Tina Fey, isn't it? Yeah. They're married in it.
18:01
Yeah. It's really cute. And then is it like a continuation? It's not. It's a whole new movie,
18:07
but it's literally a remake of it. So the entire world universe, no, the entire movie is set up
18:14
the same way as the first movie. And spoiler alert, I did not know this going into it.
18:21
I'm spoiling it. Lindsay Lohan does make an appearance. Yeah. I didn't know either. She is the judge
18:26
at the math competition. Oh my gosh. And I started freaking out. Yeah. So in the version that you watched,
18:34
did they have the firecrotch joke? Oh, I don't know. Okay. They took it out because people were like
18:40
in an upper and Lindsay Lohan ended up being like, I don't like that you made a joke at my expense
18:48
in a movie that I'm also literally. I don't know. I have to. I'm not going to go back and watch it
18:54
for that. I would. I don't know. I think they took it out of the rental. Yeah. I don't care. I don't
19:00
know what kind of little jokes they see those movies from back in the day and some of them are still
19:06
they hold up. And then you rewatch some movies and you're like, oh god, this would never get made
19:12
today. Oh my god. They can't say that. No, it's basically all the same. It's a mean girl's.
19:17
Yeah. Yeah. And then Busy Phillips is Regina George's mom. She looks just like Renee Rap. Yeah.
19:24
Anytime I see her, I'm like, she looks like Busy Phillips. They did a very good job on
19:28
making those two together. I love that. I'm going to have to give that a whirl.
19:31
On the note of the little Hannah signs, when I think of Lindsay Lohan, one of my favorite versions
19:43
of her is her during her Samantha Ronson era, more specifically her in a breakup.
19:50
And I'm really curious. Like what celebrity breakup sticks out in your mind the most as I guess
20:00
iconic is a is a wrong word, but to kind of go from last week's episode, like what perpetually is
20:08
your in a mind as the most crazy chaotic celebrity breakup? It's funny that celebrity breakups
20:15
are such pop culture. It's like we are all so obsessed. We love seeing people in love, but then
20:22
when they break up, it's almost like we eat it up even more. We get so shocked. But at the same time,
20:28
are you really that shocked? I don't know. I feel like some of these have been like, oh my god,
20:33
let me clutch my pearls. I thought that love is forever. And then some of them, you go, yeah,
20:37
of course they fucking broke it. I also think it's like everyone around you is just that hot.
20:41
How do you know? Everyone's hot. Everyone's rich. How do you know?
20:46
Yes, especially if you're an actor like and we're kissing and you're attractive. Oh my god,
20:52
I can't help that. I was just thinking about that. Okay, so I just started poor things last night.
20:59
The time that this episode's released, hopefully I've finished the movie because I got halfway
21:03
through. My husband has no interest in watching it. So when he was gone yesterday, I got halfway
21:08
through and they have some pretty like hardcore sex scenes in this movie. I've heard that.
21:14
Yeah. I saw the same incident on Switzerland. Yeah, I won't. So far, it's interesting.
21:19
But I'm thinking how do they film these without getting just so like shy and self-conscious?
21:28
Because they are naked and humping and they're going to fall for each other. They have to look at
21:34
the room. Look at that. Look at the real. Oh my god. Shout out to the sex scenes in the room.
21:40
How could they not fall for each other after that?
21:42
Fuck all of the. Oh,
21:46
flashback to Greg Sisterro and his interview with me saying that he had to do the dub for the
21:54
sex scenes and it was just him and a microphone having to go. Oh.
21:59
We really put his heart into it. Oh yeah.
22:08
Anyway, thank you for that. You're welcome. You're welcome. A little ASMR. My favorite celebrity
22:18
freaked out because both of these, okay, first of all, this is one of my guilty pleasure favorite
22:23
movies. I love Twilight. It's so bad that I've been loving. It's all of those movies are so bad.
22:32
And I hadn't watched any of them until just like the last two years. And they're so bad that
22:39
they're incredible. I say that the best movies to watch when you're hungover because your brain
22:45
isn't like working and it's normal. So the pace of the movie and just the overall acting
22:51
becomes much more tolerable. I'm putting like, yeah, it's also good. Like on my phone movie,
22:58
where I have big screen and little screen time. Oh, geez.
23:02
Great. I love you. It needs all the screens to make it through one day of functioning.
23:06
You never know. I feel bad. We're going to freak you with it. We live alone. We live alone. She needs
23:13
all of the voices at all times. So one of my favorite celebrity breakups is Kristen Stewart and
23:20
Robert Pattinson. That is an iconic. It's an iconic breakup. So they first kind of sparked dating rumors
23:28
when they were in those first couple Twilight movies together. They did their best to deny that
23:33
they were dating. Oh, we're just friends. We're just friends. They won an MTV VMA award for best
23:40
kiss. And they kind of tease like they were about to kiss on stage and then didn't. I remember
23:46
watching that and we all lost our minds and dead. Yeah. So eventually they did make their debut
23:55
together and they were very much a couple cut to where you team Jacob or team Edward. Oh team.
24:02
I said team Jacob. Okay. But the more that I watched these movies, oh, you went for the old dude.
24:12
The more you watched it. No, I'm just Bella being fucking single and not Mary. Okay. I sure like you.
24:20
No, no, no. I was team Jacob because I was like he's a rat childhood friend. He really cares about
24:29
her. But then he becomes really creepy and possessive. But Edward's creepy and possessive the whole time.
24:34
So I just think Bella needed to go to a liberal arts college, fine lesbianism, just
24:40
live her life, not be with any of us. And that's that Kristen Stewart. And that person's back to Kristen Stewart.
24:46
So in 2012, Kristen Stewart was photographed kissing the director of a movie that she was in.
24:59
His name was Rubbert Sanders. The film was no white in the hands. He was married. So these
25:08
popper arts pictures of them being caught are so iconic. I like in the pop culture like Sikon.
25:16
They really all thought that case stew is they are case to Kate Pat or whatever. I think they have
25:23
both. But case to I think or taste to his her name is him. Well, maybe they were.
25:30
Our student. I don't know. They had. Yeah, they were. They were. Oh, we were still. When we were
25:37
deep in that stew. Yeah, we were sitting in that sip in the broth. Yeah. I used to try to be like,
25:44
I'm different. I like the Harry Potter Robert Pattinson more. Oh my god.
25:49
I was so cool. You're you're still really cool. Thank you. I was so cool that I never read Twilight.
25:56
I never saw the movies until I was 33 years old. I never read the books. I tried to read one and
26:02
it's just not good writing. It's really. It's really giving my. Given my watch the movie when your
26:10
brain is less working. And it's a grand old time theory. I think you can just stick with the movies.
26:17
And at least be listening to a bad story, but looking at hot people. Yeah.
26:22
So everyone's very attractive in Twilight and shirtless. And there's a lot of.
26:30
That's right. And they also did like the Spider-Man thing where they were like, oh, we're going to make our
26:35
leads date. Yeah. Okay. So what I think happened here. Okay. So Chris and Stewart is photograph kissing
26:42
her director. She releases an apology. The momentary indiscretion is jeopardized. The most important
26:48
thing in my life. The person I love and respect the most. Rob. I love him. I love him. I'm so sorry.
26:53
There's a picture of him leaving her house very distraught. They rekindle their relationship very
26:59
briefly in like 2013 before finally calling a quits. And everyone thinks, oh, God, she fucked up.
27:07
I can't believe she cheated. And sure, yeah, I'm not condoning cheating on your boyfriend, obviously.
27:13
This director man is the one that needs to be buried. He was married. He had a position of power
27:20
over her. He was her director in Snow White and the Huntsman. Right. I'm not condoning what she did
27:26
either. But it seems like and she's come out with quotes re like in the past couple of years that kind
27:32
of say, everybody wanted me and Rob to be together. So bad. The trash. It was so much pressure. And
27:38
the public was so fucking obsessed with Twilight. And they wanted the co-stars to just be together. So bad.
27:44
You know, kiss. Even if her and Rob. Sure. Had some sexual tension. They're both very attractive
27:51
people. They hung out a few times. They like each other. They dated. Everyone was so obsessed with
27:56
them and wanted them to be together. It added that extra pressure to their relationship. She had a
28:02
moment of weakness, you know, like I'll cut her some slack for that. She's come out as LGBTQ.
28:08
Since then she's engaged to a woman. Robert Pattinson has a kid on the way. Yeah.
28:13
Zuki Watterhouse. Yeah. And so they're both very fine and a very much moved on from Twilight.
28:18
I hope so. Yeah. Oh my gosh. And then she'll say in interviews like, how would you feel if somebody
28:24
asked you about your relationship when you were in high school? You would be like, are you fucking
28:28
kidding me? Get over it. Oh my god. If people still came to me and asked me about my high school boyfriend,
28:35
I'd be like, I don't know what he's doing. I got cookies fine. It's probably making a woman a
28:41
nice scrapbook. I'm sure that he's got 16 children and they're a church right now. And I'm glad for them.
28:48
Yeah. And Kristen Stewart was also photographed at his birthday a couple of years ago. So they're
28:53
chill making yeah. Hang out with each other. But the grasp that that breakup and that affair had on
28:59
pop culture was a little like on it. Yeah. I think it was like a proximity thing. Where? Yeah.
29:07
You spend that this time around someone. Absolutely. I mean, you're a young and dumb and full of
29:12
calm. Your hormones are racing. You're making out and set. You're like, it's giving Marcia and
29:17
Greg Brady. And like when they were recording the show in the 60s, like the actors. Okay.
29:24
Not that they were brother. Is that in says? No, because they're brother and the
29:31
bradish and the show. It's still weird. But yeah, the actors were just all around each other.
29:36
And they were all teenagers. Of course, they're going to get to know each other in a physical
29:40
car in a way. Okay. Yeah. So that's my favorite celebrity breakup. Who wants to go to
29:49
an iconic iconic? The celebrity relationship that I ponder on quite a bit is Chris Jenner and
29:57
Caitlin Jenner, disclaimer for this podcast this episode. I am going to be calling her Caitlin.
30:05
I know at the time of the relationship, it was Bruce, but I'm going to be calling her Caitlin
30:10
because she is Caitlin now. Love it. So just want to put a disclaimer there really quick.
30:14
So the two began dating in April of 1991, a pair tied the knot five months after dating. Only five
30:21
months. Yes. Just one month after Chris finalized the divorce from Robert Kardashian. You might not
30:28
know this. So sorry, if I'm not good question. Was Chris still married to Robert when he died? No,
30:35
at the time, Caitlin was married to Chris. Got it. Okay. So Robert died after the divorce. Yes.
30:42
Got it. Thank you. And then in November 95, that you had Kendall together while Chris already had
30:52
Courtney came Chloe and Robert Kardashian with Robert Kardashian. And Caitlin had children of her
31:00
own with a previous relationship. Brody Jenner. We owe new. Wait, no, doesn't he look like he's past,
31:07
oh no, that's Scott Dysic. Doesn't he look like he's passing away? No, that's Scott Dysic. I get
31:13
Scott Dysic and Brody Jenner mixed up my head. I'm salty. No Brody Jenner. He's beautiful. I can't
31:18
remember Brody's brother's name, but he is all Brandon. Wait, there's Brandon Brandon. Brandon Jenner
31:26
is so hot. I need to Google all of these people. Quick. I'm so sorry. I'm French with Andrew this weekend.
31:37
And he did know the difference between Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. And he goes, my mom,
31:42
those are two separate people. And I had to show him pictures. And I've never
31:47
the meme where the lady's looking at all the man. And he goes, those are two different women.
31:53
And I say, wow, they're sisters to live in that life. He goes, she just, and then I said,
31:59
this is what they used to look like. And that's what legal kick now. And he goes, but those are
32:03
four separate people now. You're showing me four different people. I mean, I can't blame them.
32:08
Anyway, yes, these are all beautiful people and wealthy people. Yes, continue.
32:16
And then in August of 97, the two had Kylie Jenner. Got it. Yeah. And Caitlin was famous from
32:25
winning the Olympics. Yes. Yes. Caitlin is a very decorated athlete. Is famous from the OJ Simpson
32:31
trial? Yes. Yes. And just talk about the through lines to so many things. I like it. In that story,
32:39
where you're just like a card, A she ends the OJ. Yeah. Talk about pop culture iconography, that
32:48
white bronco. And do we think that OJ is Chloe's dad? No, I think that's a topic or a different day.
32:56
That's a different. She has many different dads. Yeah. Many, many suspected ones. I mean, they had
33:05
a little episode on it where I've never seen an episode of the kind of. She did like a DNA test.
33:11
And Chris was being weird about it. And she never said good storyline episode. So they've
33:16
got into people. Oh, like Chris don't even know. Of course. The devil works hard.
33:21
Chris Jenner. Yeah. She really does. That one. Let's do it.
33:25
And then in October of '07, this is when keeping up with the Kardashians.
33:32
Happened. Yeah. So Caitlin really did not seem happy. Not in the beginning. Yeah. Not in the beginning.
33:41
She did not care. And it was funny because I agree. Like I've never like I said seen an episode.
33:48
And that's not a flip or anything. I've never seen an episode of this show. I've seen clips.
33:52
I am what they call a pop culture junkie. I am what they call better than me. That makes you
33:58
feel so good about all the movies I have never watched. Everyone. I don't shame people for what they
34:06
like. What you are into in pop culture is up to you. I don't really seasons are amazing.
34:12
I am trashy reality. So I could see how I would have been into it when it first did. But I just
34:18
never. I was too busy with rock of love bus. And then in August of 2011, the two had their 20th
34:28
anniversary together. And they renewed their wedding vows in a family vacation in Bora Bora.
34:33
And I want to say that this was that I could be so wrong on this. But the Bora Bora part just
34:39
was thrown out there to me. That this could be the time where Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean.
34:44
Kim there are people who are dying. Yeah. Saga. Which is another great iconic celebrity breakup.
34:51
That also is such good. I love a messy breakup. I love it. I love hearts breaking across the world.
34:58
Yeah. After 72 days. I don't know about that part. But I love I love to know the details
35:04
intimately. I love the sound of love. So I love a chaotic celebrity.
35:09
Who's just going to let me know it all? I love it. I love messy lacks of love.
35:14
Yeah. I think the most interesting part of their breakup as well is
35:20
who's breakup? Kim and Chris or
35:23
Caitlin and Chris. Yeah. Caitlin. I was like, what is your favorite? Why is everyone
35:29
this Robert and Chris in this story? Chris Jenner and Caitlin Jenner. Okay. Is that
35:38
this was Caitlin announcing her transition. And she did it with Diane's wire. Yes. And Chris was
35:48
very silent. She did not participate in it. And so you've got to hear this really uplifting story.
35:54
And it was an amazing documentary and interview. And then taking through the story of Caitlin
36:01
like kind of finding this out and making this decision. Yeah. Chris did not speak
36:07
until the Kardashians came in. And the way that Chris spun the narrative and got the kids to
36:16
get in on it and really start to villainize Caitlin. It became this very interesting press story.
36:25
Yeah. And unfortunately, Caitlin's book was not very kind to Chris at all. Yeah. So now it's even more
36:32
resentful. So when Caitlin and Chris got a divorce, was this before or after that iconic magazine cover
36:42
where she said, I am Caitlin, the Diane Sawyer interview. Separated before they separated in October
36:48
2013. And Caitlin did not come out yet to the public. Chris knew because Caitlin would do stuff in
36:57
the house privately. Where women's clothing. Yes. And Chris told her, hey, if you need to do this,
37:03
that's totally okay. But please do not do it in the house. If you need to do it in your own business
37:07
trips and stuff, bring whatever you need to do and do it there. But please just don't do it in the
37:11
house around the kids. I don't know. But whatever happened happened. Chris knew about the stuff,
37:20
I guess, maybe she did. Maybe she didn't. But that was like the hard-ass you and show narrative.
37:26
Yeah. I think it's interesting. Yeah. But she's like, no, you're with someone who knows. So who
37:30
knows? I mean, so I do think that like we do have to tread carefully here because
37:37
you know, I can see that it would be exactly as a person who is cisgendered like I can't imagine
37:44
what it is like to go your entire life questioning yourself like that, feeling like you're in the wrong
37:50
body. And I totally, you know, kudos to anybody who feels great enough to come out. Having said that,
37:55
I do feel also for your spouse in that situation. So for Chris gender is probably strange. And
38:02
you've been with this person who has been identifying as a man for decades and it's your partner and
38:07
the father of children and now they're telling you they've been a woman this whole time. And I could
38:13
see in a lot of situations, I've seen couples who go, we're going to make this work. We're going to
38:18
make this work. We're going to stay together. And then I've seen other couples who have gone, you know
38:21
what? I still love you. I have a lot of love for you. I'm not attracted to, I don't think our sexual
38:28
components of our relationship work anymore. And that's fine. Yeah. And then they respectfully get a
38:32
divorce. Yeah. I also want to point out that Caitlin Jenner fucking sucks. We were all rooting for you.
38:41
We were all rooting for you. Dude, I think it does become an interesting juxtaposition. Yeah,
38:47
Caitlin Jenner, you know, could have been such an amazing person. The person is also a terrible person.
38:53
Oh, I mean, all fucking Kardashian Jenner's are sucking some way. But Caitlin Jenner is
38:58
anti-LGBTQ. I mean, a night-wing anti-trans bathroom. I very much. I'm very rich. And I had, she can pass.
39:11
She has enough money to have the surgeries to get done for these things. And doesn't really think
39:16
about people in other positions. Trans people who don't have their resources that she does.
39:21
Fuck Caitlin Jenner. Also, it is a very interesting, like, navigation of the story. Yeah. Yeah. I think
39:29
Kris Jenner's ability to control a narrative will always be interesting and will be studied
39:36
forever. And like that type of reality supremacy over all that time. Over the narrative.
39:45
You know, when you think about like, Caitlin's children, I mean, her and like, Kris' children,
39:51
they're all still cool with both of them kind of thing. Yeah. I know.
39:55
Kardashians really aren't speaking to her, but the Jenner's too. Okay. So like, and then we're out of
40:01
each energy. Kylie, you're so good with Caitlin. Yeah. More so Kendall. I know too much about this.
40:07
I don't even know what the Kardashian's got too much of a brain. So mine's a little Kardashian adjacent.
40:14
Interesting. I think one of the most iconic breakups in my mind is Jalina, which is
40:23
Justin and Kardashian Lee. Isn't everything in life. And so like a true Charlie from Always Sunny
40:31
Headcase, I was writing down like why I think this is such a crazy story. And I started off with
40:40
major players. And I'm going to read them to you because I think it's a stage. So Justin and Selena,
40:49
very obvious one here. You know, GoFinger. We have a Haley, which we all know. Haley Baldwin Bieber.
40:55
Haley Baldwin. Buh-buh-buh-buh. Hey, buh-buh-buh. Haley Road.
40:59
Beautiful, beautiful skin. Beautiful.
41:07
Kendall Jenner or Landel Bloom Miranda Kerr. Katie Perry. Where's the show?
41:13
The way that you don't know this. Oh my god, I'm going to boil. I mean, I know that I have to
41:18
pee so bad too. This is awful. This is terrible timing. I know. And you're about to go out of
41:23
the plant. We've like seven minutes. I know. I know. I'm about to go out of fucking random. Okay.
41:28
Well, you can hold it for seven minutes. But if I don't, sweetheart, you need to work on your,
41:34
your, I'm ready. I'm ready for you to tell me about every celebrity known to man in this
41:40
octagon. Okay. So Katie Perry, Sophia Richey. There's more. The reason that this is, I think that
41:50
this breakup sticks out in my mind is it actually happens over a six year period because they are
41:58
getting you back together. They're breaking up. They're getting back together. They're breaking
42:02
up. They're getting back together. The weekend has to come into this. He does. Oh, I forgot to
42:05
write him down. Yeah. It's spider webbing. We're truly Charlie with the red string. And so the first time
42:14
that these two like get together in like 2008, Justin and Selena and they were really cute.
42:20
Justin Bieber was like pre-pubescent. It was so cute. Yeah. And he was like doing interviews
42:27
like I mean she's cute. And Selena's a little bit like a year older than him a year and a half.
42:32
And so she's like, well, yeah, find me in a few years when you're older. And so they have this like,
42:37
well, they won't they? So people were really interested in them. And they're starting to go through
42:44
it just and starting to kind of have his like rebellious era where he was like he and he
42:49
got up. No, he peed in the bucket at a restaurant. He was like, I can get a house. So he started
42:55
to get like this bad boy image. And so for the first time, Justin, Selena break up in 2012 in kind
43:03
of a rapid succession. They're getting back together. What's really interesting about this couple is
43:09
they're one of the first Twitter and Instagram celebrities like teen celebrities. How old are they
43:15
at this point when they break up? They're still like they're like, like teens early 20s or maybe like
43:20
22 or whatever. So they're bit this. And so Justin is kind of confirmed that he started getting into
43:26
drugs at this point. And so he was like starting to go down a worse path. And so they break up in this time
43:34
and then get back together. And because social media was a thing, a lot of their fights and getting
43:39
back together, they were posting each other. So it was really kind of this like messy era. It was like
43:44
Brianna popping off at people on Twitter era where somebody just didn't really know how to handle
43:49
these social media sites yet. And they weren't super. But I love those throwbacks to celebrities using
43:54
Twitter and the early odds. And like just you look back at them now. And they're just
43:58
yeah. And then kind of okay. So they get back together. They're breaking up kind of all over like
44:04
2013 and 2012. And all of a sudden these pictures of Orlando Bloom and Selena Gomez outside of a
44:13
club in a different country. And they're like smoking cigarettes together on the curb. Okay. I would love to
44:19
be there. I would love to smoke a cigarette. I would love to be there. I would love to be in that
44:24
mode. It starts to become like buying items and like speculation is that Orlando and Selena hooked up
44:31
in that her and Justin aren't together anymore. Okay. If there was a sex room about everyone I've
44:37
ever smoked a cigarette with. Oh wow. Sorry dad. There would be zero. I've never smoked. There would
44:42
be so. What is that? Never tasted one of those kind of in rabbits' accession. So those pictures come out
44:50
right off of that. Justin is doing the Victoria's Secret Show. That's right. He tries to sleep with Miranda
44:55
Kerr. Oh my god. Who is Orlando Bloom's girlfriend. X-Wife. Okay. And mother of his child. And then Justin
45:02
and Orlando get in a fight in Mekanos. Fish fight. I did see that. And this is all in 2014. They
45:13
get enough fish fight. Okay. Okay. Oh, they don't believe so. Grown as man. Yeah. But Justin was
45:20
like 22 at that point. I don't want to end up in the row now. But this the mother of his child.
45:24
All of her retaliate against Selena. And so they get enough fish fight in this like club in Mekanos.
45:31
And so they're like going back and forth. And they're like breaking up on and off the weekends in
45:36
there somewhere. I think it done the dates. And Justin is kind of rapidly declining on this drug binge.
45:44
Yeah. And the reason that I think this is so interesting. It has like all the strama, all these
45:49
connected players. Then you also had a hill song. So you also have like a cult. You could say at what
45:54
place Justin say that I found Jesus. I'm fine now. Yeah. Exactly. And then in 2017, Justin and Selena are
46:04
seen without anyone around them without any bodyguards that they are seen on Skid Row in a place where
46:11
people are known to go and buy drugs. And so they're like kind of having this like drug-fueled crazy
46:19
romance. Each other's first love. They're going into all this. And this is kind of around the time
46:25
where Haley starts to pop up a lot because she attends Hillsong. Yeah. She attends Hillsong and her
46:30
and Justin are friends. And so kind of inner mixed in this. He is with Haley. But she says like
46:38
publicly there in an open relationship. And then he's with Sofia Richie. And it gets back with
46:43
Selena Gomez. And then right after that, they break up within like a month and a half. Six months later,
46:51
he's engaged and married. That's who we mean so fucking. And so that's the crazy. He's seen on Skid Row
46:59
with Selena in 2017. He marries Haley in 2018. And then the iconic ballad of Luzida Love Me comes out
47:08
in early 2019. Selena Gomez. Selena Gomez. Luzida Love Me. Somewhere in here is also Purpose,
47:15
which is one of the most iconic albums ever from Justin Peevers. But I could just think about it forever.
47:22
There's so many spider graphs in people. And then you can also add in Diddy and Usher and
47:28
Ellie Reed. Because that's how Justin got a start. He used to have to go spend weekends with Diddy
47:35
at his home. Oh no. Well, Diddy sucks. Well, yeah, he was also abusing kids like usher. Diddy was?
47:43
Jesus Christ. So there's such a web. I need a web. I'm going to go to your house after
47:50
the news. I just see all of this. When we were talking about quiet onset, I need you to actually
47:55
sit Andrew down in front of the TV and say, you need to watch this and just say Olivia. Talk about
48:00
Olivia. I knew this. Olivia. Do this. Call all the backpack. Yeah. You know, I'll say something.
48:05
You know, be like, do you'll live you until you then? Yeah, she did. Yeah. And she's right. Now there's
48:10
an expose a documentary for parts, buddy. Justin and Selena is really interesting though, because they
48:17
were so cute. We were all really. They were so cute. They were first loves. It was so. Yeah. And there's
48:21
this part of us that all kind of roots for first loves. We know it's not going to work out. I mean,
48:25
rarely if there's anyone out there who's like, I married my first love, like good for you. Good for you.
48:31
You are the exception. You had a little fun. Some world. But you have 16 promise rings like
48:38
maybe. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that doesn't sound very fun. But it's just like the hill song of it all
48:46
to so interesting. It's like Justin tries to revamp his image by coming out publicly as a Christian
48:53
and attending this church, which is kind of famously homophobic and a lot of celebrities attend.
48:58
Yeah. Where he meets Hayley. And Hayley in the past has tweeted about how much she loves Justin and
49:05
Selena and how much she shipped them. So she's always been kind of like a Justin Bieber fan.
49:11
And they get married that like so fast after dating and they're so young. Also on ID is a great
49:19
Hillsong documentary. They talk about the kind of abuse that they enact on people in the mind control
49:26
and all that. So would definitely check it out. I mean, I could go on and on and on about this
49:34
because there's so many different ones. We have an episode about Hillsong and just like the
49:38
celebrities who are involved in like religious cults and stuff. You can talk about your religious
49:42
drama. Oh my god. I love talking about my religious drama. Yeah. I love that. Okay. And now
49:50
Selena Gomez. I really like her and Benny Blanco together. Yeah. People are so fucking harsh on him.
49:55
I don't care that this guy is not a super model. They seem like they're really happy together.
50:00
Wasn't he mean about her like a year ago? Was he? I haven't seen anything about that. I don't
50:05
know enough about it. From what I've seen, they've been really sweet and like seem really into each other
50:10
and he seems really funny and he's got great cooking. Yeah. If anybody, if I miss something,
50:16
somebody please. He's a very his own person. Yeah. And people give him shit and all the comments that
50:21
I've seen because he's not his personally attractive. Yeah. And you know, we're curious. Yeah. I don't
50:26
know. You can definitely find that. Yeah. Oh, but yeah, I think a lot of what's so interesting about
50:32
this is just the human nature of it, even people that you really see a lot of success and so go
50:39
through these very human experiences. Yeah. I think about them all the time, but you know, Shana,
50:45
Nicole, I think we need to spend some time apart now. Oh, God. I knew this was coming. But don't worry,
50:52
this break up will only last a week. Thank God. We're going to be on the Justin Selena train. We're
