<v Speaker 1>programming on January fourteen. So Mom Maya is putting on

0:00:51.669 --> 0:00:55.589

<v Speaker 1>giving you our favorite moments, and today we need to

0:00:59.269 --> 0:01:02.709
<v Speaker 1>talk about Drew Barrymore. She's a hand fondler. Some call

0:01:02.749 --> 0:01:06.629
<v Speaker 1>her she gets too close. Oh yeah, you're wondering what

0:01:06.669 --> 0:01:09.869
<v Speaker 1>I was talking. She started her career as a baby

0:01:10.149 --> 0:01:12.669
<v Speaker 1>on an AD and she went on to star in

0:01:12.709 --> 0:01:16.189
<v Speaker 1>the wedding singer Charlie's Angels and fifty first Dates. Her

0:01:16.349 --> 0:01:20.389
<v Speaker 1>very early relationship with acting and fame has shaped her

0:01:20.469 --> 0:01:24.669
<v Speaker 1>into an overly honest and some might say intense person.

0:01:24.789 --> 0:01:27.869
<v Speaker 1>She invites big celebrities onto her self titled talk show

0:01:28.469 --> 0:01:31.229
<v Speaker 1>and Look, we need to talk about the time she

0:01:31.389 --> 0:01:35.309
<v Speaker 1>called Kamala Mamala. I think Kamala's kids call her Mamla.

0:01:35.469 --> 0:01:38.589
<v Speaker 1>They do, but it was just the Drew Barrymore said, Sorry,

0:01:38.709 --> 0:01:42.509
<v Speaker 1>Drew Barmo mama. Anyway, this is a moment from our

0:01:42.589 --> 0:01:48.109
<v Speaker 1>big episode on Drew Barrymore. By eleven, Barrymore had an

0:01:48.109 --> 0:01:51.669
<v Speaker 1>alcohol problem. By twelve, she says she was a drug addict.

0:01:51.989 --> 0:01:55.109
<v Speaker 1>By thirteen, she was self harming and hospitalized for a

0:01:55.189 --> 0:01:57.869
<v Speaker 1>year and a half, and by fourteen she was divorced

0:01:57.869 --> 0:02:00.269
<v Speaker 1>from her parents and living on her own. She went

0:02:00.309 --> 0:02:02.389
<v Speaker 1>on to star in some of the most iconic films ever,

0:02:02.829 --> 0:02:06.389
<v Speaker 1>Never Been Kissed. Sorry, Amily, it took me forever to

0:02:06.429 --> 0:02:11.549
<v Speaker 1>go there. I know what she meant. Fabulous, Ah disagree,

0:02:11.869 --> 0:02:14.949
<v Speaker 1>scream you never told me your name? Why do you

0:02:14.949 --> 0:02:16.509
<v Speaker 1>want to know my name? I don't want to know

0:02:16.549 --> 0:02:21.309
<v Speaker 1>who I'm looking at? What did you say? Ex fabulous

0:02:21.389 --> 0:02:26.109
<v Speaker 1>Charlie's angels, Good morning Angels, good morning Charlie fabulous? Ever

0:02:26.189 --> 0:02:29.109
<v Speaker 1>after watch it at school? The wedding Singer fifty first

0:02:29.189 --> 0:02:31.669
<v Speaker 1>Dates music and Lyrics, where Hugh Grant was like, I

0:02:31.669 --> 0:02:34.189
<v Speaker 1>don't think she likes me. Remember she came up in

0:02:34.189 --> 0:02:39.149
<v Speaker 1>that episode, and most recently she was in Santa Clara Diet.

0:02:39.469 --> 0:02:42.389
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember that, Yeah, Clarita don I don't know.

0:02:42.429 --> 0:02:44.189
<v Speaker 1>I didn't watch it. I think it was about zombies.

0:02:44.469 --> 0:02:46.309
<v Speaker 1>It was very trying to be the walking Dead anyway.

0:02:46.789 --> 0:02:48.789
<v Speaker 1>Now she hosts her own talk show called The Drew

0:02:48.829 --> 0:02:53.069
<v Speaker 1>Barrymore Show. Oh, thanks for hanging out with us. Can

0:02:53.109 --> 0:02:57.389
<v Speaker 1>I just share something and be totally honest? I am

0:02:57.469 --> 0:03:00.189
<v Speaker 1>rocking the caffeine this morning because I pulled an all

0:03:00.309 --> 0:03:04.669
<v Speaker 1>nighter with my daughter. Frankie. I'm sure you thought everything

0:03:04.789 --> 0:03:08.429
<v Speaker 1>goes exactly according to plan at all times around here,

0:03:08.549 --> 0:03:13.069
<v Speaker 1>right ah ah, which I consume solely through TikTok, and

0:03:13.109 --> 0:03:15.269
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get to it comes up a fair

0:03:15.309 --> 0:03:20.269
<v Speaker 1>bit before we begin, Oh I Drew, Yeah, No, always

0:03:20.269 --> 0:03:24.029
<v Speaker 1>get good vibes. She seems like she'd be lovely in person. Yeah. So,

0:03:24.349 --> 0:03:26.429
<v Speaker 1>I think she's a good actress. And this was a

0:03:26.509 --> 0:03:30.949
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly difficult episode to prep for because despite being in

0:03:30.989 --> 0:03:33.949
<v Speaker 1>the industry since she was eleven months old, she's not

0:03:33.949 --> 0:03:37.189
<v Speaker 1>been canceled that often. What's happened not very often. She

0:03:37.269 --> 0:03:40.949
<v Speaker 1>seems very sweet, and she's had a rough upbringing and

0:03:41.069 --> 0:03:44.469
<v Speaker 1>come back from that, which personally, I find commendable. But

0:03:44.549 --> 0:03:48.989
<v Speaker 1>it also goes to show how great it was that

0:03:49.269 --> 0:03:51.669
<v Speaker 1>for somebody like Drew Barrymore, social media didn't exist when

0:03:51.709 --> 0:03:55.069
<v Speaker 1>she was a teenager because she got to just go

0:03:55.189 --> 0:03:58.069
<v Speaker 1>to rehab. Yes, but when she was I think she

0:03:58.069 --> 0:04:01.749
<v Speaker 1>was about nineteen, and she was on Larry one of

0:04:01.789 --> 0:04:08.549
<v Speaker 1>the one of the Larry's, David Letterman, David Lettiman, and

0:04:08.629 --> 0:04:11.789
<v Speaker 1>she danced on the table and she flashed him. And

0:04:11.869 --> 0:04:15.629
<v Speaker 1>that's on the internet. Was that cringe? This is the

0:04:15.629 --> 0:04:18.349
<v Speaker 1>thing the Internet. I fucking loves Drew Barrymore. Yeah. All

0:04:18.389 --> 0:04:21.749
<v Speaker 1>the comments are just like, she's classic Drew. She's a

0:04:21.789 --> 0:04:24.309
<v Speaker 1>good time, she's fun, she's so nineties, love her hair,

0:04:24.709 --> 0:04:27.229
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, she flashed David Letterman. I'm not canceling it,

0:04:27.429 --> 0:04:30.549
<v Speaker 1>but neither are you. Yeah. So look, I don't decide

0:04:30.589 --> 0:04:33.349
<v Speaker 1>who's in the cancel courtroom. The culture does. And my

0:04:33.389 --> 0:04:37.029
<v Speaker 1>structure for today is as follows the original NEPO Baby

0:04:37.869 --> 0:04:41.269
<v Speaker 1>unemployable by fourteen, She says she'd had a midlife crisis,

0:04:41.269 --> 0:04:45.229
<v Speaker 1>but I reck you and I was unemployable by fourteen.

0:04:45.269 --> 0:04:48.309
<v Speaker 1>But that's because No, I did make a horrific mistakes

0:04:48.309 --> 0:04:50.909
<v Speaker 1>at Boostooth I didn't shoar up for my second shift

0:04:50.909 --> 0:04:53.229
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not confused at the video shop, so I

0:04:53.269 --> 0:04:55.629
<v Speaker 1>was unemployable. No, Muma called and said, can you hire

0:04:55.629 --> 0:04:58.069
<v Speaker 1>her back? And they said, okay. Dancing in the Rain

0:04:58.669 --> 0:05:04.029
<v Speaker 1>is Drew Barrymore a scab? And lastly the Drew Barrymore Show. Yes,

0:05:04.229 --> 0:05:08.749
<v Speaker 1>the original Nappo Baby Little Drew was born to two actors,

0:05:08.989 --> 0:05:11.389
<v Speaker 1>but that is not the whole story. She comes from

0:05:11.429 --> 0:05:15.589
<v Speaker 1>a family of actors that stretches back. Yes, how many

0:05:15.669 --> 0:05:19.269
<v Speaker 1>years do you think? I think like three generations? No, God, wait,

0:05:19.469 --> 0:05:22.029
<v Speaker 1>there was no acting three generations ago. I don't know

0:05:22.389 --> 0:05:25.509
<v Speaker 1>four hundred years what I thought the same about act

0:05:25.589 --> 0:05:28.069
<v Speaker 1>There was no acting four hundred, four hundred years. I

0:05:28.189 --> 0:05:30.509
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. This is in my notes. I didn't know

0:05:30.549 --> 0:05:32.669
<v Speaker 1>that had act just four hundred years ago. Thought they

0:05:32.909 --> 0:05:36.309
<v Speaker 1>we had farmers. Okay, Shakespeare comes up? Is that I'm like,

0:05:36.709 --> 0:05:41.189
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do the maths, but Shakespeare hundred vibes? Yeah,

0:05:41.229 --> 0:05:44.189
<v Speaker 1>now two thousands ish, cannot be sure, but I'm thinking

0:05:44.189 --> 0:05:46.949
<v Speaker 1>four hundred years ish. So I'm imagining a great great

0:05:46.949 --> 0:05:50.389
<v Speaker 1>great great great grandfather or grandmother, probably grandfather because patriarchy

0:05:50.869 --> 0:05:54.829
<v Speaker 1>in Tight's Midsummer Night's Dream with his willy contour app Yeah,

0:05:54.869 --> 0:05:57.829
<v Speaker 1>and looking a lot like Drew. Oh, looking exactly atro

0:05:57.989 --> 0:06:00.829
<v Speaker 1>Drew's face. Look, you saw her in the dog food commercial.

0:06:00.989 --> 0:06:04.189
<v Speaker 1>You can't deny her talent. But even Barrymore says she

0:06:04.309 --> 0:06:06.189
<v Speaker 1>was on movie sets from day one. So when they

0:06:06.229 --> 0:06:08.829
<v Speaker 1>needed a baby, it's like, how about we get the

0:06:08.829 --> 0:06:11.749
<v Speaker 1>one suck in the camera because you always wonder you

0:06:11.829 --> 0:06:13.629
<v Speaker 1>see like a baby in a show, you think it

0:06:13.709 --> 0:06:17.869
<v Speaker 1>is that it's always the wrong age. It's your newborn

0:06:17.909 --> 0:06:20.189
<v Speaker 1>and it's a three year old. Yeah, that's a plot point,

0:06:20.509 --> 0:06:23.749
<v Speaker 1>that fourteen kilo baby. Why did that person birth a

0:06:23.829 --> 0:06:28.029
<v Speaker 1>fully formed human being. Her godmother is Italian actress Sophia

0:06:28.069 --> 0:06:31.349
<v Speaker 1>Laren and her godfather is a bit more low key,

0:06:32.029 --> 0:06:35.469
<v Speaker 1>Steven Spielbert. She asked after et if he could be

0:06:35.589 --> 0:06:38.509
<v Speaker 1>her godfather, and her mum was like, okay, fine. When

0:06:38.549 --> 0:06:41.829
<v Speaker 1>she was nineteen and she posed naked for Playboy, Spielberg

0:06:41.909 --> 0:06:44.309
<v Speaker 1>sent her a large quilt with a note attached that

0:06:44.389 --> 0:06:48.069
<v Speaker 1>simply read, cover up what a good godfather? Had some

0:06:48.069 --> 0:06:53.109
<v Speaker 1>advice I mean no nor sexiest patriarchy, etcetera. But but

0:06:53.149 --> 0:06:56.869
<v Speaker 1>she didn't have a dad. It's cute that there's a

0:06:56.869 --> 0:07:00.109
<v Speaker 1>photo of her at nine years old beside President Ronald Reagan.

0:07:01.469 --> 0:07:03.989
<v Speaker 1>But and this is where I'm always uncomfortable with the

0:07:04.029 --> 0:07:06.749
<v Speaker 1>NEPO baby stuff. It might have given her a leg

0:07:06.829 --> 0:07:09.589
<v Speaker 1>up in her career, but her home life a mess.

0:07:10.149 --> 0:07:12.869
<v Speaker 1>Her dad was an alcoholic, left when she was nine,

0:07:13.309 --> 0:07:16.709
<v Speaker 1>although he'd always been absent, and around that time when

0:07:16.749 --> 0:07:18.749
<v Speaker 1>her I think she was about eight years old when

0:07:18.789 --> 0:07:22.189
<v Speaker 1>her mum was like, babe, let's go clubbing five nights weet, oh, no,

0:07:23.349 --> 0:07:28.509
<v Speaker 1>fifty yeah, which brings us to unemployable by fourteen. In

0:07:28.549 --> 0:07:31.989
<v Speaker 1>an interview with the Guardian, Barrymore says that by her

0:07:32.029 --> 0:07:35.269
<v Speaker 1>mid teens she couldn't get a job. You won't believe it,

0:07:35.309 --> 0:07:38.149
<v Speaker 1>but all that clubbing and no school meant that Barrymore

0:07:38.229 --> 0:07:40.269
<v Speaker 1>was chaos. She was stealing a mum's car and, in

0:07:40.309 --> 0:07:44.029
<v Speaker 1>her words, out of control. She says she was drinking

0:07:44.029 --> 0:07:47.909
<v Speaker 1>at nine, smoking pot at ten, using cocaine at twelve,

0:07:48.189 --> 0:07:51.309
<v Speaker 1>which meant she was blacklisted from Hollywood for having reputation

0:07:51.429 --> 0:07:54.269
<v Speaker 1>as a party girl. Can you imagine a party girl

0:07:54.309 --> 0:07:57.509
<v Speaker 1>that's just a child? Yes? Okay, So you're a director

0:07:57.629 --> 0:08:00.029
<v Speaker 1>or a producer and you're out at the club and

0:08:00.069 --> 0:08:03.149
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing a twelve year old's not cocaine and you're like, ugh,

0:08:03.709 --> 0:08:06.229
<v Speaker 1>just another party girl going too hard on a Tuesday night,

0:08:06.349 --> 0:08:10.989
<v Speaker 1>not being like maybe we should confiscate with her. Yeah,

0:08:11.189 --> 0:08:13.269
<v Speaker 1>do you need some help because by my calculations, you

0:08:13.309 --> 0:08:16.589
<v Speaker 1>should be in year six? You should be in year six.

0:08:17.029 --> 0:08:19.989
<v Speaker 1>Would you like some ice cream with some iced magic?

0:08:20.509 --> 0:08:23.629
<v Speaker 1>Because that should be the fun. Why don't you go

0:08:23.669 --> 0:08:26.189
<v Speaker 1>to your room and play this great game called the Sims.

0:08:26.269 --> 0:08:28.589
<v Speaker 1>You should be playing the Sims in a dressing gown.

0:08:29.309 --> 0:08:31.389
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's weird to look at that kid and

0:08:31.429 --> 0:08:35.429
<v Speaker 1>be like, here comes track listing. You just another party girl,

0:08:36.149 --> 0:08:40.109
<v Speaker 1>just twelve. So she was sent to rehab twice before

0:08:40.269 --> 0:08:44.949
<v Speaker 1>she was thirteen. Imagine being in rehab rehab people it's

0:08:44.949 --> 0:08:52.909
<v Speaker 1>like your hair. No, we aren't hereat substance abuse in children. Yeah,

0:08:52.909 --> 0:08:56.229
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's an issue. Then at thirteen, Drew

0:08:56.229 --> 0:08:59.149
<v Speaker 1>Barrymore's mum Jade was like, I've had enough. I can't

0:08:59.189 --> 0:09:01.309
<v Speaker 1>do this, So she sent her to a psychiatric facility

0:09:01.949 --> 0:09:05.269
<v Speaker 1>for one year and one half eighteen months. She sent

0:09:05.309 --> 0:09:07.589
<v Speaker 1>her to a psychiatric unit that she couldn't leave. She

0:09:07.789 --> 0:09:10.589
<v Speaker 1>was like, you're a lot and it's like, no shit,

0:09:11.629 --> 0:09:13.869
<v Speaker 1>on her twelfth birthday, she was not in the cocaine yeap.

0:09:14.309 --> 0:09:16.549
<v Speaker 1>That is so sad And it reminds me of this

0:09:16.629 --> 0:09:19.109
<v Speaker 1>thing I've heard people say where it's like you can

0:09:19.189 --> 0:09:23.069
<v Speaker 1>be like when you talk about privilege, Yeah, economically privileged,

0:09:23.069 --> 0:09:29.509
<v Speaker 1>but like family wise, incredibly emotionally yeah deprived. Yeah yeah,

0:09:29.509 --> 0:09:31.869
<v Speaker 1>And that's what it was, was her. And you think privilege

0:09:31.869 --> 0:09:35.389
<v Speaker 1>is more complicated than simply having parents who happened to

0:09:35.389 --> 0:09:39.349
<v Speaker 1>be in Hollywood, Yeah, because the cost of that was big.

0:09:39.749 --> 0:09:42.429
<v Speaker 1>So while she was there, a few professionals advised that

0:09:42.469 --> 0:09:45.389
<v Speaker 1>she emancipate herself from her mother, who maybe wasn't the

0:09:45.389 --> 0:09:48.309
<v Speaker 1>best influence. So by fourteen she was living on her

0:09:48.349 --> 0:09:51.269
<v Speaker 1>own divorce from her parents. She washed dishes and worked

0:09:51.309 --> 0:09:53.829
<v Speaker 1>some normal jobs for a few years, but eventually she

0:09:53.869 --> 0:09:56.069
<v Speaker 1>got a role in an erotic thrill out called Poison

0:09:56.109 --> 0:09:59.429
