- 0:35Speaker 3: Well, i'll tell you what doesn't feel real is that
- 0:37Speaker 3: the two is still going. It felt like I was
- 0:38Speaker 3: here about nine years ago.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's so funny because like I we
- 0:42Speaker 2: went home like drenched in sweat, exhausted, like, and all
- 0:47Speaker 2: we were doing was watching, right, obviously like singing and dancing,
- 0:50Speaker 2: but like watching, and that girl's up there doing cardio,
- 0:53Speaker 2: singing every song under the song and just doesn't even flinch.
- 0:56Speaker 2: That's just unbelievable.
- 0:58Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. I missing so many of my scenes
- 1:00Speaker 1: with people wearing the bracelets, sharing those around the costumes
- 1:04Speaker 1: as well. Was that everything you thought it was gonna be.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just It's just unbelievable.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Would have been a lot of mother daughter combos there.
- 1:11Speaker 3: What a great bonding experience, right, I know?
- 1:14Speaker 2: And I thought, well, first of all, I have video
- 1:16Speaker 2: of her when she was singing one song and looked
- 1:19Speaker 2: over and my daughter was like, had tears streaming down
- 1:21Speaker 2: her face. And she's only ten years old, so I
- 1:23Speaker 2: feel like that's very young to be already crying from happiness.
- 1:27Speaker 2: It was very like it made me feel good, like
- 1:29Speaker 2: core memory.
- 1:30Speaker 3: And she'll remember that forever too. Good on you been
- 1:33Speaker 3: a parent than we are?
- 1:34Speaker 2: A million noll please? I mean, did you guys try
- 1:37Speaker 2: to go to Australia.
- 1:38Speaker 1: We did try and book some tickets. It was very
- 1:40Speaker 1: it was very stressful to try and get on. We
- 1:42Speaker 1: had three laptops going my daughter and we just couldn't
- 1:45Speaker 1: even get a look in. And that was to get
- 1:46Speaker 1: to not even in the country that we live in.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there was right out Like at Miami,
- 1:51Speaker 2: at hard Rock, there was a whole line of like
- 1:54Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of people. This like the concert had started,
- 1:58Speaker 2: the show had started, and they were just out there
- 2:01Speaker 2: checking like stub Hub and checking resellers. I mean, she
- 2:04Speaker 2: was already moved on to another era. Fully in the
- 2:06Speaker 2: middle of the concert. People are still out there just
- 2:08Speaker 2: trying to get in for a second.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Did she bring out a hot Beefcakes boyfriend.
- 2:13Speaker 2: No, I wish. I freaking love Travis. He was unfortunately
- 2:17Speaker 2: had like a little NFL game, so he wasn't able
- 2:19Speaker 2: to be there. Hey, so she did give send him
- 2:21Speaker 2: some love. She did change the lyrics to Karma again
- 2:23Speaker 2: and said, Karma's the guy at the Chiefs coming straight
- 2:26Speaker 2: home to me. So he was there in spirit in Karma.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So compare it to every other concert You've been lucky
- 2:32Speaker 1: enough to guard to Weed, is it right?
- 2:34Speaker 2: I mean number one, we've been to some fix shows.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I mean I've seen Rihanna, I've seen Lady Gaga, I've
- 2:40Speaker 2: seen Ecy DC, I've seen Guns of Roses, I've seen
- 2:43Speaker 2: everyone and Taylor. This is just there's this is like
- 2:46Speaker 2: historical what she's doing. It's unbelievable.
- 2:48Speaker 3: You know, the will tow us printing money, just money printing,
- 2:51Speaker 3: will to Yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Why isn't she just throw us a bone? And she's
- 2:54Speaker 2: worth one point two billion with a B now I
- 2:57Speaker 2: feel like she should just you know, spread the love
- 2:59Speaker 2: a little on a free concept. Do that? Why not?
- 3:02Speaker 1: We got to call with us live from New York,
- 3:04Speaker 1: he joins us every week, never really really sad news
- 3:08Speaker 1: into last weekly in pain from one direction as sadly
- 3:11Speaker 1: passed away and tragic circumstances as well. You'd been lucky
- 3:15Speaker 1: enough to meet the one direction guys over the years.
- 3:17Speaker 2: I mean I've probably had Liam ten and ten times,
- 3:21Speaker 2: Like he know, like he knows us, Like if he
- 3:23Speaker 2: saw me in the street, he would know me. And
- 3:26Speaker 2: he I mean, listen to all of them, I adored,
- 3:28Speaker 2: but like he was the most fun human ever every
- 3:32Speaker 2: time he came up, like he was just fun and
- 3:34Speaker 2: funny and he'd like to make people laugh. And he
- 3:37Speaker 2: was a sweetheart, and he had such a good heart,
- 3:39Speaker 2: and he clearly was hurting. And every day when new
- 3:42Speaker 2: details are uncovered and revealed, it just gets more insane
- 3:46Speaker 2: and makes me feel more sad.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Yeah, poor guys, it was obviously not in a good place. No,
- 3:52Speaker 3: the thing that always confuses me is who when something
- 3:54Speaker 3: tragic like that happens. Who whips out their phone and
- 3:57Speaker 3: takes photos?
- 3:58Speaker 2: Everyone these days, I mean, we have it like it's
- 4:00Speaker 2: kind of crazy, Like there's been so many things that
- 4:04Speaker 2: I've seen, like horrific events like that have ended up
- 4:06Speaker 2: in the news. It's like, how did you get that footage?
- 4:09Speaker 2: You saw something horrible happening, and instead of trying to
- 4:12Speaker 2: help that, you whip out a camera and take video
- 4:14Speaker 2: of it. Because I don't know, I don't know what
- 4:16Speaker 2: we're becoming as humans. But it's really sick because there.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Was a lot of chat as well that you know,
- 4:22Speaker 4: after they broke up. They didn't get along, especially maybe
- 4:25Speaker 4: him and Zaane, but it was nice to see all
- 4:28Speaker 4: of their tributes. They felt very heartfelt and they felt
- 4:31Speaker 4: like any beef they had was probably quite trivial. Yeah.
- 4:34Speaker 2: I mean, the thing is is like you become when
- 4:36Speaker 2: you work with people that close, right, and that's like
- 4:39Speaker 2: absurdly close, like that's almost like unhealthily close, but like
- 4:42Speaker 2: that you have to because you're in a band together.
- 4:44Speaker 2: You know things about them and have experienced things with
- 4:46Speaker 2: them that you would never have with any other human.
- 4:48Speaker 2: You become family, You become brothers and regardless of what
- 4:52Speaker 2: happened over the years and after the breakup, they still
- 4:54Speaker 2: loved each other very much. I mean, every time I
- 4:56Speaker 2: had one of them in for something solo, they had
- 4:58Speaker 2: nothing but nice thing and loving things to say about
- 5:01Speaker 2: each other, even if there was something right, like you
- 5:03Speaker 2: fight with your brothers and sisters, and like it felt
- 5:05Speaker 2: like that. So the whole thing is just heartbreaking.
- 5:08Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you forget there's actually a real person,
- 5:11Speaker 3: correct behind that celebrity body.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a real person. And even Cheryl Lloyd,
- 5:15Speaker 2: like she wrote, like just remember, like let's give him
- 5:19Speaker 2: the little bit of dignity of left. Like he this
- 5:21Speaker 2: is gonna live live on right, Like his kid's gonna
- 5:24Speaker 2: grow up, have access to the Internet and then see
- 5:26Speaker 2: all these horrible things. And already he's got to learn
- 5:29Speaker 2: to live without his father, and already he's got to
- 5:31Speaker 2: swallow this horrific news. But to see other gross things
- 5:35Speaker 2: that will now live forever on the internet instead of
- 5:38Speaker 2: just he passed away. It's gonna be it's what he's
- 5:41Speaker 2: gonna be able to find and search. It's just it's awful.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Nicole in America think is getting very close to the election.
- 5:47Speaker 1: We see these clips over here, Like Donald Trump, it's
- 5:51Speaker 1: almost like he's doing a comedy tour sometimes when he's
- 5:53Speaker 1: on stage and I say that in all due respect
- 5:56Speaker 1: to women and I love women.
- 5:57Speaker 2: No, Nope, that's just who he is. Comedy there calling
- 6:01Speaker 2: our vice president a you know what? President, starts with
- 6:05Speaker 2: an s ends with the t R oh he called Yeah,
- 6:10Speaker 2: he said that she was a you know what vice president.
- 6:13Speaker 2: You can't say that if you want me president. That's
- 6:15Speaker 2: not presidential at all.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So what in all honesty now, because it is getting close?
- 6:20Speaker 1: Where do you who do you think today? Specifically? I
- 6:24Speaker 1: don't feel good today today.
- 6:27Speaker 2: I believe he's when I checked, but it's looking like
- 6:29Speaker 2: he's like a little bit higher. I don't. I don't know.
- 6:32Speaker 2: It gives me anxiety, so I try not to think
- 6:33Speaker 2: about Sorry for bringing that up. No, yeah, thanks a lot.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You're not gonna go take.
- 6:39Speaker 3: The trauma. Kind of indifferent to either way because it
- 6:41Speaker 3: doesn't really affect us over this side of the world.
- 6:44Speaker 3: But the clips I see of her when she's asked
- 6:47Speaker 3: a question, she kind of jumps around the place and
- 6:49Speaker 3: doesn't make any scenes. And I don't know if that's
- 6:51Speaker 3: an edit on Instagram or if that's actually her.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I think that there's both. And also let's call speed
- 6:56Speaker 2: to speed. All politicians are liars that I mean, he
- 6:59Speaker 2: does the same thing. He just says words. He gets
- 7:01Speaker 2: up there and just moves his hands around and just
- 7:04Speaker 2: says words, I love women. Wait, have you seen the
- 7:08Speaker 2: edit where because he does move his hands back and
- 7:10Speaker 2: forth a lot, someone edited a an accordion into When
- 7:14Speaker 2: you see him talk and he moves his hands back
- 7:16Speaker 2: and forth so many times it looks like he's playing.
- 7:18Speaker 2: I have to find it for you. Also, he's playing
- 7:20Speaker 2: an accordion and it's everything.
- 7:21Speaker 1: The Internet is amazing, isn't it?
- 7:23Speaker 3: Sometimes well, speaking of awful things on the internet, I
- 7:27Speaker 3: feel like there's two people in life now, those who
- 7:29Speaker 3: are in a diddy hole and those who have better
- 7:32Speaker 3: things to do with their life. That's the separation between
- 7:34Speaker 3: the two parts of humanity. Now, I am one in
- 7:37Speaker 3: the diddy hole, Megan.
- 7:38Speaker 2: You're in the very much in the diddy hole.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Yeah, the hole is deep and I am there.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Confusion I have now is I'm getting feed of so
- 7:45Speaker 3: much stuff that I don't know what's fake news, what's
- 7:47Speaker 3: real news. I'm hearing stories of underground tunnels and parties,
- 7:52Speaker 3: and I'm hearing that he apparently poisoned Jamie Fox, and
- 7:55Speaker 3: Jamie Fox is the one who alerted the FBI.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So this is the thing I think because I said
- 8:00Speaker 2: this to my friend today, I said, how much of
- 8:03Speaker 2: these stories do you think are real? And he was like, listen,
- 8:06Speaker 2: I think probably there's a lot of people that I
- 8:07Speaker 2: have hopped on this bandwagon are trying to get their moment,
- 8:10Speaker 2: even though it's a horrific moment. But I with with
- 8:12Speaker 2: this many stories and so many things matching up, and
- 8:15Speaker 2: so many people that didn't even happen to that are like, yeah,
- 8:19Speaker 2: I was there, it was weird, Like there's no it happened,
- 8:23Speaker 2: like this happened. What the fact that there's so many
- 8:26Speaker 2: different amalgamations of the stories, right, Like there's like, yes,
- 8:30Speaker 2: like the tunnels, and then there's just these these freak
- 8:33Speaker 2: golf parties that I'm airquoting, and like there's different types
- 8:35Speaker 2: of stories. But it sounds like he was just a freak.
- 8:37Speaker 2: And if you ask me, I just I'm not a fan.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I just I think he heard so many off. He
- 8:42Speaker 2: hurt so many kids and so many humans. He does
- 8:45Speaker 2: not deserve to be here. I mean it's bad, ye
- 8:47Speaker 2: know that.
- 8:48Speaker 4: I mean that kind of came up with the allegations.
- 8:50Speaker 4: Is about three thousand or so complying. There's hundreds of
- 8:54Speaker 4: people witnesses.
- 8:55Speaker 2: It's right, And thousands of people are not lying. Yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 2: not three thousands of people are not. Like hundreds of
- 9:00Speaker 2: are not lying. If there's many people are coming forward,
- 9:02Speaker 2: it happened.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Now.
- 9:03Speaker 1: His private jet was apparently in New Zealand just a
- 9:05Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago.
- 9:07Speaker 2: Was on it.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Oh, was that what it was? Yeah, it was sort
- 9:10Speaker 1: of work out why it was here. Obviously he wasn't
- 9:12Speaker 1: in New Zealand.
- 9:13Speaker 2: But I am reading that he's got a lot of
- 9:15Speaker 2: people getting paid off, a lot of people that were
- 9:18Speaker 2: like celebrities that were around for some of these parties
- 9:21Speaker 2: and are trying like they're obviously not named yet and
- 9:23Speaker 2: are trying to fix things before it gets to them.
- 9:26Speaker 2: But I know it's almost like Jeffrey Epstein, It's like,
- 9:28Speaker 2: are we going to ever see all like the names?
- 9:30Speaker 2: Are we going to ever know everything? Or like the
- 9:32Speaker 2: details that we are curious about? Probably not.
- 9:35Speaker 4: The one that really troubles me is that a lot
- 9:39Speaker 4: of the witnesses have said that they even you hear
- 9:41Speaker 4: stories of celebrities, like when they go there, Leonardocaprio is
- 9:45Speaker 4: with jay Z and with Diddy a lot of the
- 9:47Speaker 4: time his name comes up a lot.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Is really happen, But you can't. You can't loop everyone
- 9:55Speaker 1: into the same thing.
- 9:56Speaker 3: It's just no jay Z and Beyonce came to The
- 10:00Speaker 3: names keep circulating, they keep getting dragged into this whole
- 10:03Speaker 3: conspiracy theory that everyone has to think beyond s.
- 10:06Speaker 2: It Awards shows, What way do you what?
- 10:09Speaker 1: Why are they putting on that?
- 10:10Speaker 3: Over there in the States.
- 10:11Speaker 2: I feel like there's always been a rumor here that
- 10:13Speaker 2: maybe there are too that there's like this whole illuminati,
- 10:15Speaker 2: and then there's a bunch of like rappers and people
- 10:18Speaker 2: that were sort of like in this underground world and
- 10:22Speaker 2: have this like almost just like weird vip club.
- 10:25Speaker 4: All of that sounded ridiculous until now right exactly.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Just sounding like TikTok guys.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Thing.
- 10:33Speaker 2: It all sounded crazy.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Initially we say a lot of stuff that we have
- 10:37Speaker 1: no infection. You may get a lot of wild accusations
- 10:40Speaker 1: with people's names, right, just like as soon as you
- 10:43Speaker 1: start saying people's names in the city. It's based on
- 10:46Speaker 1: what
- 10:49Speaker 2: We can move on
