Speaker 1: You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. MoMA Maya acknowledges
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
Speaker 1: is recorded on Hello and welcome to canceled The Lazy
Speaker 1: Girl's Guide to Bizarre Celebrity Cancelations. It is Jesse and
Speaker 1: Claire Stevens here, and we wanted to give you a
Speaker 1: little present. Hi. We do, and we will be in
Speaker 1: your ears for the whole holiday period. We know you
Speaker 1: need something to listen to before we return to normal
Speaker 1: programming on January fourteen. So Mom Maya is putting on
Speaker 1: a hot pod. Summer's heartened. Here must be Summer. We're
Speaker 1: giving you our favorite moments, and today we need to
Speaker 1: talk about Drew Barrymore. She's a hand fondler. Some call
Speaker 1: her she gets too close. Oh yeah, you're wondering what
Speaker 1: I was talking. She started her career as a baby
Speaker 1: on an AD and she went on to star in
Speaker 1: the wedding singer Charlie's Angels and fifty first Dates. Her
Speaker 1: very early relationship with acting and fame has shaped her
Speaker 1: into an overly honest and some might say intense person.
Speaker 1: She invites big celebrities onto her self titled talk show
Speaker 1: and Look, we need to talk about the time she
Speaker 1: called Kamala Mamala. I think Kamala's kids call her Mamla.
Speaker 1: They do, but it was just the Drew Barrymore said, Sorry,
Speaker 1: Drew Barmo mama. Anyway, this is a moment from our
Speaker 1: big episode on Drew Barrymore. By eleven, Barrymore had an
Speaker 1: alcohol problem. By twelve, she says she was a drug addict.
Speaker 1: By thirteen, she was self harming and hospitalized for a
Speaker 1: year and a half, and by fourteen she was divorced
Speaker 1: from her parents and living on her own. She went
Speaker 1: on to star in some of the most iconic films ever,
Speaker 1: Never Been Kissed. Sorry, Amily, it took me forever to
Speaker 1: go there. I know what she meant. Fabulous, Ah disagree,
Speaker 1: scream you never told me your name? Why do you
Speaker 1: want to know my name? I don't want to know
Speaker 1: who I'm looking at? What did you say? Ex fabulous
Speaker 1: Charlie's angels, Good morning Angels, good morning Charlie fabulous? Ever
Speaker 1: after watch it at school? The wedding Singer fifty first
Speaker 1: Dates music and Lyrics, where Hugh Grant was like, I
Speaker 1: don't think she likes me. Remember she came up in
Speaker 1: that episode, and most recently she was in Santa Clara Diet.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that, Yeah, Clarita don I don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it. I think it was about zombies.
Speaker 1: It was very trying to be the walking Dead anyway.
Speaker 1: Now she hosts her own talk show called The Drew
Speaker 1: Barrymore Show. Oh, thanks for hanging out with us. Can
Speaker 1: I just share something and be totally honest? I am
Speaker 1: rocking the caffeine this morning because I pulled an all
Speaker 1: nighter with my daughter. Frankie. I'm sure you thought everything
Speaker 1: goes exactly according to plan at all times around here,
Speaker 1: right ah ah, which I consume solely through TikTok, and
Speaker 1: we're going to get to it comes up a fair
Speaker 1: bit before we begin, Oh I Drew, Yeah, No, always
Speaker 1: get good vibes. She seems like she'd be lovely in person. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: I think she's a good actress. And this was a
Speaker 1: surprisingly difficult episode to prep for because despite being in
Speaker 1: the industry since she was eleven months old, she's not
Speaker 1: been canceled that often. What's happened not very often. She
Speaker 1: seems very sweet, and she's had a rough upbringing and
Speaker 1: come back from that, which personally, I find commendable. But
Speaker 1: it also goes to show how great it was that
Speaker 1: for somebody like Drew Barrymore, social media didn't exist when
Speaker 1: she was a teenager because she got to just go
Speaker 1: to rehab. Yes, but when she was I think she
Speaker 1: was about nineteen, and she was on Larry one of
Speaker 1: the one of the Larry's, David Letterman, David Lettiman, and
Speaker 1: she danced on the table and she flashed him. And
Speaker 1: that's on the internet. Was that cringe? This is the
Speaker 1: thing the Internet. I fucking loves Drew Barrymore. Yeah. All
Speaker 1: the comments are just like, she's classic Drew. She's a
Speaker 1: good time, she's fun, she's so nineties, love her hair,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, she flashed David Letterman. I'm not canceling it,
Speaker 1: but neither are you. Yeah. So look, I don't decide
Speaker 1: who's in the cancel courtroom. The culture does. And my
Speaker 1: structure for today is as follows the original NEPO Baby
Speaker 1: unemployable by fourteen, She says she'd had a midlife crisis,
Speaker 1: but I reck you and I was unemployable by fourteen.
Speaker 1: But that's because No, I did make a horrific mistakes
Speaker 1: at Boostooth I didn't shoar up for my second shift
Speaker 1: because I'm not confused at the video shop, so I
Speaker 1: was unemployable. No, Muma called and said, can you hire
Speaker 1: her back? And they said, okay. Dancing in the Rain
Speaker 1: is Drew Barrymore a scab? And lastly the Drew Barrymore Show. Yes,
Speaker 1: the original Nappo Baby Little Drew was born to two actors,
Speaker 1: but that is not the whole story. She comes from
Speaker 1: a family of actors that stretches back. Yes, how many
Speaker 1: years do you think? I think like three generations? No, God, wait,
Speaker 1: there was no acting three generations ago. I don't know
Speaker 1: four hundred years what I thought the same about act
Speaker 1: There was no acting four hundred, four hundred years. I
Speaker 1: didn't know. This is in my notes. I didn't know
Speaker 1: that had act just four hundred years ago. Thought they
Speaker 1: we had farmers. Okay, Shakespeare comes up? Is that I'm like,
Speaker 1: I didn't do the maths, but Shakespeare hundred vibes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: now two thousands ish, cannot be sure, but I'm thinking
Speaker 1: four hundred years ish. So I'm imagining a great great
Speaker 1: great great great grandfather or grandmother, probably grandfather because patriarchy
Speaker 1: in Tight's Midsummer Night's Dream with his willy contour app Yeah,
Speaker 1: and looking a lot like Drew. Oh, looking exactly atro
Speaker 1: Drew's face. Look, you saw her in the dog food commercial.
Speaker 1: You can't deny her talent. But even Barrymore says she
Speaker 1: was on movie sets from day one. So when they
Speaker 1: needed a baby, it's like, how about we get the
Speaker 1: one suck in the camera because you always wonder you
Speaker 1: see like a baby in a show, you think it
Speaker 1: is that it's always the wrong age. It's your newborn
Speaker 1: and it's a three year old. Yeah, that's a plot point,
Speaker 1: that fourteen kilo baby. Why did that person birth a
Speaker 1: fully formed human being. Her godmother is Italian actress Sophia
Speaker 1: Laren and her godfather is a bit more low key,
Speaker 1: Steven Spielbert. She asked after et if he could be
Speaker 1: her godfather, and her mum was like, okay, fine. When
Speaker 1: she was nineteen and she posed naked for Playboy, Spielberg
Speaker 1: sent her a large quilt with a note attached that
Speaker 1: simply read, cover up what a good godfather? Had some
Speaker 1: advice I mean no nor sexiest patriarchy, etcetera. But but
Speaker 1: she didn't have a dad. It's cute that there's a
Speaker 1: photo of her at nine years old beside President Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: But and this is where I'm always uncomfortable with the
Speaker 1: NEPO baby stuff. It might have given her a leg
Speaker 1: up in her career, but her home life a mess.
Speaker 1: Her dad was an alcoholic, left when she was nine,
Speaker 1: although he'd always been absent, and around that time when
Speaker 1: her I think she was about eight years old when
Speaker 1: her mum was like, babe, let's go clubbing five nights weet, oh, no,
Speaker 1: fifty yeah, which brings us to unemployable by fourteen. In
Speaker 1: an interview with the Guardian, Barrymore says that by her
Speaker 1: mid teens she couldn't get a job. You won't believe it,
Speaker 1: but all that clubbing and no school meant that Barrymore
Speaker 1: was chaos. She was stealing a mum's car and, in
Speaker 1: her words, out of control. She says she was drinking
Speaker 1: at nine, smoking pot at ten, using cocaine at twelve,
Speaker 1: which meant she was blacklisted from Hollywood for having reputation
Speaker 1: as a party girl. Can you imagine a party girl
Speaker 1: that's just a child? Yes? Okay, So you're a director
Speaker 1: or a producer and you're out at the club and
Speaker 1: you're seeing a twelve year old's not cocaine and you're like, ugh,
Speaker 1: just another party girl going too hard on a Tuesday night,
Speaker 1: not being like maybe we should confiscate with her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you need some help because by my calculations, you
Speaker 1: should be in year six? You should be in year six.
Speaker 1: Would you like some ice cream with some iced magic?
Speaker 1: Because that should be the fun. Why don't you go
Speaker 1: to your room and play this great game called the Sims.
Speaker 1: You should be playing the Sims in a dressing gown.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's weird to look at that kid and
Speaker 1: be like, here comes track listing. You just another party girl,
Speaker 1: just twelve. So she was sent to rehab twice before
Speaker 1: she was thirteen. Imagine being in rehab rehab people it's
Speaker 1: like your hair. No, we aren't hereat substance abuse in children. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's an issue. Then at thirteen, Drew
Speaker 1: Barrymore's mum Jade was like, I've had enough. I can't
Speaker 1: do this, So she sent her to a psychiatric facility
Speaker 1: for one year and one half eighteen months. She sent
Speaker 1: her to a psychiatric unit that she couldn't leave. She
Speaker 1: was like, you're a lot and it's like, no shit,
Speaker 1: on her twelfth birthday, she was not in the cocaine yeap.
Speaker 1: That is so sad And it reminds me of this
Speaker 1: thing I've heard people say where it's like you can
Speaker 1: be like when you talk about privilege, Yeah, economically privileged,
Speaker 1: but like family wise, incredibly emotionally yeah deprived. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's what it was, was her. And you think privilege
Speaker 1: is more complicated than simply having parents who happened to
Speaker 1: be in Hollywood, Yeah, because the cost of that was big.
Speaker 1: So while she was there, a few professionals advised that
Speaker 1: she emancipate herself from her mother, who maybe wasn't the
Speaker 1: best influence. So by fourteen she was living on her
Speaker 1: own divorce from her parents. She washed dishes and worked
Speaker 1: some normal jobs for a few years, but eventually she
Speaker 1: got a role in an erotic thrill out called Poison
Speaker 1: IVY in nineteen ninety two, and her career skyrocketed from there.
Speaker 1: To listen to that entire episode, click the link. In
Speaker 1: our show notes, we're investigating the serious stuff like is
Speaker 1: she a scab? Does she know what personal spaces? And
Speaker 1: why does she sometimes make us feel weird when she's
Speaker 1: sitting on people's laps. Sometimes she's kneeling in front of people. Yeah, prostrating.
Speaker 1: It's somewhat say. We're recanceling three things every week of
Speaker 1: the summer break, including celebrities, TV shows, celebrity couples, and
Speaker 1: press tours because we need to keep the investigations running.
Speaker 1: Someone's got to do it. You can find videos from
Speaker 1: the podcast and evidence of celebrity crimes on our Instagram
Speaker 1: at the Twins Underscore Thoughts, or on TikTok at cancel
Speaker 1: the podcast, Bye Bye,
