Speaker 1: From Los Angeles and.
Speaker 2: One and only world famous Perez Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1: Everybody, welcome to the PHP. Happy President's Day here in
Speaker 1: the States. I'm Booker, He's Perez. What's doing?
Speaker 2: I am jazzed because we're talking about a lot of
Speaker 2: people that we don't usually on the show today, including
Speaker 2: Chris Brown.
Speaker 1: Are you jazzed to talk about Chris Brown?
Speaker 2: I am that way, not him specifically, but collectively him,
Speaker 2: alongside Kristin Stewart, with Kelly Rowland, with Candae Owens, and
Speaker 2: this singer also her name is Taylor Swift. We're also
Speaker 2: talking about her too. But first, I'm feeling really good,
Speaker 2: but also feeling like, you know, like there's like a
Speaker 2: point like that last drink that takes you from buzzed
Speaker 2: to wasted. Yeah, and I'm there. I'm at that last
Speaker 2: drink And it's not anything to do no, no, it's
Speaker 2: got nothing to do with alcohol. It's just like, thank God,
Speaker 2: we're checking out today. We're at the Fountain Blue and
Speaker 2: it's just been so many days NonStop of doing too
Speaker 2: much with my son for his birthday, like five e
Speaker 2: then's five activities in one day, and eating big meals.
Speaker 2: It's like food it could be worse than alcohol actually,
Speaker 2: So it's like I'm there, but I'm also so grateful
Speaker 2: to have had this one on one time with him.
Speaker 2: And people are so funny. People think that there is
Speaker 2: a right way to parent, Like so many people are
Speaker 2: shocked that I decided and have for a couple of
Speaker 2: years now, not to have birthday parties for my kids.
Speaker 2: And I'd rather take each one on a solo vacation
Speaker 2: and spend four or three quality days with them and
Speaker 2: make all of these memories and do so many things
Speaker 2: instead of spending whatever amount of money I would have
Speaker 2: on a party. So thank you to the Fountain Blue
Speaker 2: for having this. Really is my favorite hotel in Vegas now.
Speaker 2: It's just phenomenal. I love it, and I've got to
Speaker 2: come back because there's still so much more to do
Speaker 2: at the Fountain Blue that I haven't.
Speaker 1: Could you get one more plug in for the Fountain Blue?
Speaker 2: I was wondering I could, because it's that good. How
Speaker 2: was your weekend?
Speaker 1: How you been good off today? It's raining in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: It's a horrible day.
Speaker 2: Wait, I got a weird text message from the City
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was flogged warning probably so weather. It
Speaker 1: just won't stop fucking raining here.
Speaker 2: Wow. You also spent some time with Gwen Stefani tell
Speaker 2: us about that.
Speaker 1: She was like so positive and into it and fun
Speaker 1: and excited to talk about, you know, her new song
Speaker 1: she did something with her husband, Purple Irises, a good
Speaker 1: little pop country sort of crossover kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Why was she on ALT ninety eight to seven promoting that? Though?
Speaker 1: I think more it's promoting that, you know, No Doubt
Speaker 1: also will be doing Coachella this year. No Doubt something
Speaker 1: together and trying to figure out where she is with
Speaker 1: the band. And it's weird, Like during the interview she
Speaker 1: said that they'd only face timed once, which is strange
Speaker 1: to me, you know, like that they haven't talked so
Speaker 1: there sounds like there's still something going on there. Whether
Speaker 1: this is just a one off or take the money
Speaker 1: kind of thing, I can't really tell. But she's just lovely.
Speaker 1: She was absolutely dynamic and I love talking to her
Speaker 1: and she's a sweetheart.
Speaker 2: It makes me happy to see that, you know. Like
Speaker 2: last night were the People's Choice Awards and Kylie Minogue performed.
Speaker 2: I missed that.
Speaker 1: I would have watched if I would have known she
Speaker 1: was there.
Speaker 2: She's the hardest working pop person of all time, Like
Speaker 2: she's been doing this since the eighties, and she does
Speaker 2: so many TV performances and I love that because what
Speaker 2: a legacy she's leaving behind. When she's no longer here,
Speaker 2: we'll be able to watch this and that. And when
Speaker 2: she did this version of the other And actually the
Speaker 2: People's Choice Awards were so funny because Billie Eilish went viral.
Speaker 2: Did you see this? No, she went viral because she
Speaker 2: was complaining to a friend at her table and that
Speaker 2: she was caught and overheard that there were TikTokers there,
Speaker 2: which raises an interesting question. I mean, should TikTokers be
Speaker 2: at these big award shows? I say, of course.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like one thing's more important than the other thing.
Speaker 1: Does someone inherently have more talent that could sing? I
Speaker 1: mean that is a talent? Is tiktoking a talent? I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's an eight, but you know you
Speaker 1: got to work at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to be able to have and maintain a
Speaker 2: following on there, it's not easy. Like you might be
Speaker 2: able to get a viral by luck, but to build
Speaker 2: and keep building on there, that's not.
Speaker 1: Easy, you know, it's funny. I literally just wrote to
Speaker 1: someone I keep getting I don't know if it's like
Speaker 1: spam or what it is, by this same woman who's like,
Speaker 1: I want to help you grow your Instagram. And I
Speaker 1: responded very politely and said, look, I'm not really interested
Speaker 1: in bots and I'm not interested in really growing it.
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, if it wasn't for my job, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be on social media. I'm just really not interested. Thank you. Well,
Speaker 1: then she hits me back and she's like, well, here's
Speaker 1: your follower count, and tomorrow you'll see two hundred more followers.
Speaker 1: So I wake up this morning there's two hundred more followers,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I said, listen, I go. I'm about
Speaker 1: being authentic. I want the people that want to follow me,
Speaker 1: that want to consume what I do on the radio
Speaker 1: or on this podcast, I want them to be there.
Speaker 1: I do. I'm not going to say that I don't,
Speaker 1: but I'm not interested in some phony people that I
Speaker 1: don't know. People can see that, they could smell it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel authentic. I go, and I have no
Speaker 1: interest in paying for it, So please move on. Find
Speaker 1: somebody else. It's not me. I don't do this, so
Speaker 1: it's just funny you should bring all that up. But
Speaker 1: I just got done typing all this.
Speaker 2: You should not have engaged.
Speaker 1: That was the first That was the first thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it's like she just constantly kept hitting me up
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, thank you. I wanted to
Speaker 1: be polite because it seems like a real person, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: you're right. Probably should not have even engauged.
Speaker 2: I'm so thankful that Instagram has really turned things around.
Speaker 2: Like reels are popping on Instagram and getting so much views.
Speaker 2: Like a lot of big creators that are friends of
Speaker 2: mine are talking about how their reels are getting more
Speaker 2: video views than their TikTok. So thank you Instagram because
Speaker 2: I'm allowed on there all right. You know, like any episode,
Speaker 2: if there's a topic, you know, something that we're talking
Speaker 2: about that you don't want to listen to, just fast forward,
Speaker 2: like Taylor Swift. You know, there's some Taylor Swift haters
Speaker 2: that listen to our podcast or you're just tired of
Speaker 2: hearing of her. But she is the biggest star on
Speaker 2: the planet and dominates a lot of conversation and from
Speaker 2: people that shouldn't really even be talking about Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: I find this so not interesting but so telling that
Speaker 2: Candice Owens, this political commentator who gets a lot of
Speaker 2: attention herself, has repeatedly been talking about Taylor Swift recently
Speaker 2: non stop. Why because it works? She saw, Oh wow,
Speaker 2: that one Taylor Swift clip of mine got way more
Speaker 2: views than anything else I've done this Year's trying to
Speaker 2: get into the algorithm of that exactly. So, as a
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift og myself, I'm not bothered. I don't care.
Speaker 2: Like she literally called her a psychotic feminist, and she
Speaker 2: was defending Scooter Braun and all this stuff, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: thank you, Candice Owens, I see right through you, and
Speaker 2: I just say thank you. I'm not bothered by people
Speaker 2: criticizing her for anything because she's just living her life
Speaker 2: and doing the best and being a kind person. She's
Speaker 2: a kind person.
Speaker 1: I'll stop you and your slobbering. It's not the reporting
Speaker 1: on Taylor Swift that people have a problem with. It's
Speaker 1: the fact that you can no longer be objective anything objective.
Speaker 1: You aren't. You're just slabber all over her. You're just
Speaker 1: trying to get better seats for the next concert you
Speaker 1: go to. Now, I'm not You're not being objective. Even
Speaker 1: when I tell you what people are saying whatever, You're
Speaker 1: not listen to you, you won't even you won't even.
Speaker 2: See I am a free thinker. Okay, I don't care.
Speaker 1: You're a narrow minded thinker.
Speaker 2: So let me finish. There was that awful shooting in
Speaker 2: Kansas City and Taylor Swift donated one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: to the family of the woman that died. And what
Speaker 2: connection does she have? Is she from Kansas City?
Speaker 1: Well, I think the connection's pretty obvious.
Speaker 2: I got that dub, but like, that's the only connection.
Speaker 2: Her boyfriend plays on the Kansas City team. That's her
Speaker 2: only connection. And she still donated one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: I think that's very kind, And I don't think she
Speaker 2: did kind. I don't think she did that just for publicity,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: I think when you have billions of dollars, it's a
Speaker 1: drop of the bucket.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, Travis Kelcey donated one hundred thousand dollars to
Speaker 2: a different family, one of the families where the children
Speaker 2: were injured. There were so many injured children, it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: so ridiculous, and it was all because of these two
Speaker 2: dumb ass teenagers that got into some disagreement and had
Speaker 2: access to guns. I did not know that Kansas City
Speaker 2: is one of the top ten most violent cities in
Speaker 2: the US with gun violence. I had no idea. Ah, God,
Speaker 2: so upsetting. What's going to happen? I don't know. But
Speaker 2: back to Taylor swift and lightheartedness, because I don't want
Speaker 2: to linger on this. She's in Australia and making everybody
Speaker 2: go crazy down there with every concert that she has
Speaker 2: and going viral at every show, including this one speech
Speaker 2: that she gave talking about her upcoming album. And I
Speaker 2: guess answering your question right, or the question that a
Speaker 2: lot of people have, like why is she releasing another
Speaker 2: album so soon? Because she's an artist and that's how
Speaker 2: she processes life. She says she was going through a
Speaker 2: lot underscore the breakup with her boyfriend, which apparently was
Speaker 2: a long time coming, and she says that this new
Speaker 2: album was a lifeline for her and that writing songs
Speaker 2: helps her process life. So that's your answer. And if
Speaker 2: you think everything Taylor is too much, don't listen to
Speaker 2: her music. Simple as that, I'm excited for the album
Speaker 2: and actually, so many, so many superstar divas, isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2: Instead of like newer artists, all of these, like legacy
Speaker 2: Diva acts are the big releases for the next couple
Speaker 2: of months. Excited for that. Speaking of superstar artists, Ussher
Speaker 2: is talking about the super Bowl and his performance and
Speaker 2: revealing that yes, he did reach out to Justin Bieber
Speaker 2: to perform at the super Bowl halftime show, and they
Speaker 2: did speak in person briefly, and Justin said no, And
Speaker 2: then another article came out from I believe that it
Speaker 2: was people just saying that he's not in the mental
Speaker 2: headspace to do it, which is basically what I said
Speaker 2: on the podcast. You know, so I'm glad he didn't
Speaker 2: because he would have sucked. It would have been bad.
Speaker 1: So well, he's doing a good job of ramping up interest.
Speaker 1: Him consistently saying no. Will come a time when everybody's like, hey,
Speaker 1: we're ready for you to do it, and he'll be
Speaker 1: ready to do it, and the mania will be out
Speaker 1: of control. I mean, it's like the Jonas Brothers effect.
Speaker 1: It's like the Taylor Swift effect. I mean, all these
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift fans have been fans since they were four,
Speaker 1: and you know, she's just consistently been putting out music
Speaker 1: all during this time. But the whole kind of missing
Speaker 1: you thing, it'll pop, it'll be big, It'll be huge
Speaker 1: when he's ready to do it. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe he's just taking a break.
Speaker 2: But Justin Bieber's never been an amazing performer.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't disagree with you, but I do think he's got
Speaker 1: a lot of talent and he's got the hits. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the difference. I mean, when you have multiple hits,
Speaker 1: they want to see Chris Brown. Chris brazy.
Speaker 2: People live in their own bubbles and he is in
Speaker 2: his and is a little out of touch with reality.
Speaker 2: I would say Chris Brown was initially, according to him,
Speaker 2: invited to take part in this All Star Game during
Speaker 2: NBA All Star weekend, and then he was disinvited. And
Speaker 2: some people might let that slide or make not a
Speaker 2: big deal about it and try to like keep it
Speaker 2: secret because they might think it's embarrassing. Not Chris Brown.
Speaker 2: He would not shut up about it on Instagram and
Speaker 2: even calling out the event sponsor.
Speaker 1: Ruffles, which makes me what ruffles right now?
Speaker 2: By the way, Yeah, No, So much so that Ruffles
Speaker 2: felt compelled to deny that they had any involvement on
Speaker 2: what players took part in the All Star Celebrity Game.
Speaker 2: And I just want to remind Chris Brown that just
Speaker 2: last year he was involved in a violent fight with Usher,
Speaker 2: according to reports, So it would make sense to me
Speaker 2: that they did not want somebody with a history of
Speaker 2: violence on the court, simple right.
Speaker 1: They booked him, though to his point, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're going to book somebody, make him look like shit
Speaker 1: by canceling him and him telling people he's going to
Speaker 1: be there.
Speaker 2: Listen. It goes back to what happened to me on TikTok.
Speaker 2: Two different layers of employees said, yes, you're back, and
Speaker 2: you're allowed officially to be on TikTok.
Speaker 1: And what are you doing? Your shit talking the fuck
Speaker 1: out of them, which is exactly what he's doing.
Speaker 2: All right, fine, pot meat kettle, I take it back,
Speaker 2: Chris Brown. I mean, I'm not shit talking him.
Speaker 1: You're shit talking the platform, and he was shit talking
Speaker 1: Ruffles or the All Star Game people.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I understand the decision.
Speaker 1: You understand the decision from TikTok.
Speaker 2: No, I don't understand that decision. I do, Well, that
Speaker 2: was three years.
Speaker 1: Ago, okay, Well, Chris Brown and his incidents with Rihanna
Speaker 1: were over a decade ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Usher was just last year.
Speaker 1: Well, who knows you to show me the video of that.
Speaker 1: That could have been a throwing a drink on someone,
Speaker 1: and we don't know what really happened there, all right,
Speaker 1: But to Hearsay.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of Hearsay, that's exactly what's going on with
Speaker 2: Kelly Rowland. This story has gone majorly viral, and I'm
Speaker 2: not sure what to believe. According to The New York
Speaker 2: Post and Page six, which is very reliable for New
Speaker 2: York stuff and also for non New York stuff, they
Speaker 2: break a lot of stories in are and are consistently correct.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: They say that Kelly Rowland was supposed to guest co
Speaker 2: host the nine o'clock hour of The Today Show and
Speaker 2: was displeased with her dressing room, and her team requested
Speaker 2: a better dressing room, and they said they could not
Speaker 2: accommodate that because the bigger, better dressing room was occupied
Speaker 2: by Jennifer Lopez that day. Right, So she left and
Speaker 2: did not go through with co hosting the Today Show's
Speaker 2: nine o'clock hour with Hoda. It's a good look too, allegedly.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if I believe this. So here's
Speaker 2: my two thoughts. My first thought is, I don't believe
Speaker 2: it just does not sound like Kelly Rowland. She's also
Speaker 2: been doing this for twenty five years. You know, she's
Speaker 2: been on The Today Show before. She knows what the
Speaker 2: dressing rooms are like. Like, why would she have unrealistic expectations?
Speaker 1: Well, maybe her dressing room was where j Lo was
Speaker 1: that day with all of her props and accouterments and
Speaker 1: people and staff and whatever, and she was but hurt
Speaker 1: by the fact that she couldn't be in her dressing room.
Speaker 1: But it's a guest dressing room, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, when you're on those shows, you can't
Speaker 1: sit there and go, Wow, the talent's getting all this stuff.
Speaker 1: The talent always gets all of this stuff. And she
Speaker 1: wasn't there as a talent. She's there as a fucking host.
Speaker 1: Us hosts get treated like shit. We usually get set
Speaker 1: in a fucking closet somewhere with a light you could
Speaker 1: barely put your makeup on with.
Speaker 2: What I find really weird is, you know, usually when
Speaker 2: something is not true. A publicist will release the statement
Speaker 2: denying it. But Kelly Roland's publicist has not denied this,
Speaker 2: So that's why there's like a little bubble of you know,
Speaker 2: I don't believe it per se. Yeah, it doesn't sound
Speaker 2: like Kelly Roland. It doesn't make sense. She's a pro.
Speaker 2: She's been doing this for so long. But why haven't
Speaker 2: they denied it? Why didn't they deny it?
Speaker 1: But then it's true.
Speaker 2: I guess it might be true.
Speaker 1: She walked off. The proof is in the pudding. She
Speaker 1: didn't show up for her gig for whatever reason she
Speaker 1: and said I'm.
Speaker 2: Out another thing though, who knows, Like we don't know
Speaker 2: everything going on with her in her life, like maybe
Speaker 2: something bad happened and she doesn't want to talk about
Speaker 2: it publicly.
Speaker 1: A statement would have been released, I guess, even if
Speaker 1: it's just funny story. But no, Kelly has something personal
Speaker 1: going on in her life and thank you, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's not like she doesn't have people. She has people.
Speaker 1: So maybe the truth is more powerful than anything because
Speaker 1: you're going up against a news organization like the Today Show,
Speaker 1: and if they're pressed, they're just gonna tell the truth.
Speaker 1: They're gonna go. Yeah, she left. We don't know why,
Speaker 1: but she left.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I guess everybody makes mistakes and everybody
Speaker 2: has bad days. I remember I had. I made a
Speaker 2: big mistake once. I regret this. I don't even remember
Speaker 2: what station. It was in Los Angeles. I was appearing
Speaker 2: on some local news show in LA and somehow somebody
Speaker 2: either gave me the wrong arrival time or I just
Speaker 2: read it wrong. It could have been my It could
Speaker 2: have been one hundred per sent my mistake. And I
Speaker 2: showed up way earlier than I was supposed to be
Speaker 2: on air, and I asked if I could just go
Speaker 2: on early, and they said they couldnot accommodate me. And
Speaker 2: then I got really upset, and I regret that. You know,
Speaker 2: there's nothing they could have done, and I apologize if
Speaker 2: I got all.
Speaker 1: DMOS planned, and you know you were slotted in.
Speaker 2: I know, I am sorry to whoever that was. If
Speaker 2: any of you are listening, I doubt you're listening.
Speaker 1: It sounds like KTLA to me.
Speaker 2: I think it was. What's that one place that's like
Speaker 2: almost in East Hollywood. That's okay, Yeah, it's exactly that place,
Speaker 2: all right. Jennifer Lopez has the number one movie on
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime. According to a press release. Wow wow, oh wow, wow,
Speaker 2: Oh my god. That I would never have known. However,
Speaker 2: after I saw that press release, I did a little
Speaker 2: digging and some unfortunate, embarrassing information. A couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: j Lo actually more than that. Several weeks ago, I forget,
Speaker 2: maybe three or four weeks ago, Jennifer Lopez released her
Speaker 2: single with a big push, the first song off this
Speaker 2: new album. And I went on Billboard dot Com and
Speaker 2: I saw that can't get Enough. Despite all of this attention,
Speaker 2: didn't even crack the Billboard Hot one hundred. That's a
Speaker 2: flop floppityflop. It could not even make it to the
Speaker 2: top one hundred.
Speaker 1: Guy, I always say that the charts don't matter. However, Dot,
Speaker 1: when you see so much promotion for something, there's gotta
Speaker 1: be some correlation. There's gotta be people saying, all right,
Speaker 1: I'll at least check it out. Or to not hit
Speaker 1: the Hot one hundred, that is pretty telling. I'll say
Speaker 1: that with that kind of push.
Speaker 2: The album's out, the movies out. Did you watch the movie?
Speaker 1: Come on now? No? No?
Speaker 2: Did your fiance watch the movie? I was here at
Speaker 2: the Fountain Blue and enjoying the found to Blue.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you know, I'll ask her because I
Speaker 1: know she's seen enough clips because she made social media
Speaker 1: for it. So but I don't think she watched the
Speaker 1: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Well, I saw some clips and it actually, I mean
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, but from the clips I saw,
Speaker 2: it seemed funny, oh good, Oh I'm cute. Like I
Speaker 2: even shared one clip that was pretty freaking hilarious with
Speaker 2: Keiky Palmer in it. I love you have no idea
Speaker 2: who Keky Palmer is, but I love Kicky Palmer. Okay,
Speaker 2: the gays and and girls of a certain age love
Speaker 2: Kiky Palmer. Also, I found it really interesting in one actually,
Speaker 2: I think multiple of her media appearances promoting the movie
Speaker 2: and the album, Jennifer Lopez warned us this is probably
Speaker 2: her last album. Oh my god, no, no, I love
Speaker 2: j Lo. I like her music, but like I would
Speaker 2: not be devastated if this is her last album, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't care. Is that supposed to be like some
Speaker 2: reverse psychology to try to get people to listen?
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, stop more shitty new music and like.
Speaker 2: You know, the Amazon Prime thing. Cool, But next week
Speaker 2: when we see the album chart. We'll be able to
Speaker 2: tell how well or poorly it debuted on the Billboard
Speaker 2: album chart, so you can't you can't hide that either.
Speaker 2: And you know the people have spoken, people will have spoken.
Speaker 2: But it's cute, you know. It's all about love and
Speaker 2: her relationship with love and herself and with Ben and
Speaker 2: yet and Ben is in it, but he's not himself
Speaker 2: in the movie, and Anana, he's playing some newscaster.
Speaker 1: Poor guy. No one's asking for this. And I love Jet,
Speaker 1: but there's no one like, please do this. He is supportive,
Speaker 1: he is give him that.
Speaker 2: He's that cheerleader boyfriend that just you know. I think
Speaker 2: he's either a pussy wibbed or I don't know what,
Speaker 2: or he just loves her. He loves her. I love
Speaker 2: it for them.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they have this love affair. I just don't
Speaker 1: understand the incessant need to share it with us, like
Speaker 1: we give a shit.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of people still care.
Speaker 1: Listen, if they care about anything, You're right, they care
Speaker 1: about that relationship, they care about the music. No, I
Speaker 1: think they care about his movie making, because he's pretty
Speaker 1: fucking good at that.
Speaker 2: I want to love like that, but not exactly like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, that needs a lot of attention.
Speaker 2: I know I was gonna say, yeah, I know, that's
Speaker 2: literally I was gonna say, like, their love seems.
Speaker 1: Exhausting, exhausting exactly.
Speaker 2: There's just something. There's a song I want an easy kind.
Speaker 1: Of love, Easy Lover to go without, Easy Lover, Phil
Speaker 1: Collins and Philip Bailey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want an easy kind of love.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm watching? Love is Blind.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's been some drama with that.
Speaker 1: It's so good and Kellen gets the advances. So they
Speaker 1: released the first half on Netflix of this season, but
Speaker 1: we have the second half at home, so I already
Speaker 1: know what happens when everybody's talking about already and it's
Speaker 1: fucking awesome. Wait till you guys see it. It's really good.
Speaker 2: Well what's everybody talking about.
Speaker 1: Well, there's this one girl that said she looked like
Speaker 1: Megan Fox. Then the guy fucking meets her and he's like,
Speaker 1: you don't look like Megan Fox because she doesn't, and
Speaker 1: she's cute, Like, don't get me wrong, but it's just
Speaker 1: their relationship. I guess I really can't share because let's
Speaker 1: just say, their relationship becomes a focal point which it
Speaker 1: already is in the first half, but the second half's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. So if you guys are watching the show,
Speaker 1: just stick with it. It's really good.
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of Megan Fox, we spoke about her on
Speaker 2: the Patreon and I won't repeat what we said because
Speaker 2: that's just for Patreon ears own.
Speaker 1: That's our safe zone over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but Megan Fox is responding to critics of her. Specifically,
Speaker 2: there was a photo that went viral from super Bowl
Speaker 2: weekend where she looked very different and she wants everybody
Speaker 2: to know that it was just a bad angle and
Speaker 2: bad lighting. Okay, okay, and did not address the boattox
Speaker 2: and fillers.
Speaker 1: If you want our true thoughts, Patreon dot com slash
Speaker 1: for us Helton.
Speaker 2: Yes. In more love news, Love is Blind, and Love
Speaker 2: is Back For Real Housewives of Miami star a Pippin
Speaker 2: and Marcus Jordan, they had broken up and then they
Speaker 2: refollowed each other on social media and reunited publicly for
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day, so they're giving it another go.
Speaker 1: Thank god.
Speaker 2: I don't remember when, but on a recent episode, Booker
Speaker 2: theorized that the real reason Katy Perry was leaving American
Speaker 2: Idol is because they were not willing to pay her
Speaker 2: more money.
Speaker 1: Right, and her time is money.
Speaker 2: According to a new report, that's the exact reason she's
Speaker 2: leaving American Idol.
Speaker 1: Wow, it always comes out the money. We knew that.
Speaker 2: That was a peresidamus moment for a booker.
Speaker 1: I think that was an obvious one.
Speaker 2: Brow Also, according to reports, American Idol bosses are eyeing
Speaker 2: Miley Cyrus to replace Katy Perry, but some worry that
Speaker 2: she might be too risque for a family show.
Speaker 1: N I don't buy that. I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be more about the same problem. Miley Cyrus isn't walking
Speaker 1: in there for cheap. Miley Cyrus doesn't need the money.
Speaker 1: All these people don't need the money, but she got
Speaker 1: to make it worth their time.
Speaker 2: I had this thought earlier that escaped my mind, and
Speaker 2: I just want to get it out there. I see
Speaker 2: all this chatter of people speculating who should perform at
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl halftime show next year, and I am
Speaker 2: going to advocate for Dolly Parton. We need it before
Speaker 2: she dies, Okay, I would like to.
Speaker 1: Just see some sort of country halftime.
Speaker 2: She could spearheaded. It could be Dolly with everybody else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dolly and Friends. That would be awesome.
Speaker 2: Dolly and and then Miley would come out for sure,
Speaker 2: of course, yes, oh that'd be so good. This is
Speaker 2: a really good segue. Speaking of country music, Beyonce's new
Speaker 2: song actually is poised to be a hit, or at
Speaker 2: least if social media love is any indication. Like I
Speaker 2: keep seeing everybody using this new Beyonce song, the Texas
Speaker 2: Texas Hold Them, which I always liked. My problem with
Speaker 2: the song was just lyrically, one of the lyrics don't
Speaker 2: speak to me.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing with country music. The lyrics do
Speaker 1: speak to people. Like that's what my mom says over
Speaker 1: and over about these songs and Lady Wilson and all
Speaker 1: these different artists. That's the first thing that comes out
Speaker 1: of her mouth, Like, man, that song really talks to me,
Speaker 1: Like I really can feel it inside. It's a very.
Speaker 2: Good Yes, so it is it is.
Speaker 1: That's the thing for country music.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and some Beyonce fans have been calling up
Speaker 2: radio stations, country stations, and this one station specifically in
Speaker 2: the middle of the country somewhere said they're not going
Speaker 2: to play the song because they don't play Beyonce. What
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on that.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're speaking for the station as a DJ,
Speaker 1: I find that that'd be a big mistake. You don't
Speaker 1: pick the music. If your company says you're playing it,
Speaker 1: you're fucking playing it.
Speaker 2: I also think if it was a better song, they'd
Speaker 2: probably play it.
Speaker 1: It's a good song, but it's everything you just said.
Speaker 1: We both are in complete agreement. I like it, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: Boy said it.
Speaker 1: But to me, it's like a good pop song with
Speaker 1: some country guitar twang to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. In other wacky news, Kristin Stewart was on the
Speaker 2: cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone and really
Speaker 2: triggered a lot of people. There was a lot of
Speaker 2: hate over this because it was I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't I wouldn't consider it graphic. Was it sexual? Yes?
Speaker 2: Was it graphic? No? She's in this vest, a leather
Speaker 2: vest and jocks jocks jockstrap. Yeah, you only see the front,
Speaker 2: so you don't see bear ass, and she's got her
Speaker 2: hands reaching into the jockstrap. You know, it's just like
Speaker 2: a strong pose and like, yeah, is it? Is it sexual? Yes?
Speaker 2: Is it graphic? No? But so many people were just
Speaker 2: butt hurt about it. And kudos to Kristin Stewart. To me,
Speaker 2: that's a great piece of art where you can get
Speaker 2: people talking, Yeah, you can get people talking and feeling something,
Speaker 2: and she got a lot of people feeling.
Speaker 1: I read that she said, I want this to be
Speaker 1: the gayest thing anyone's ever seen. So I read the
Speaker 1: line before I saw all the pictures, which was cool
Speaker 1: because then I got to like experience the art after
Speaker 1: that sentence, and I was like, Oh, that's awesome, Like
Speaker 1: mission accomplished.
Speaker 2: I know it.
Speaker 1: She looks beautiful. I mean, I love her. She's got
Speaker 1: the she does smoky eye better than anybody. She really does.
Speaker 1: Her eyes just popped. I tell you. I saw her
Speaker 1: to party once. No, yeah, she was at this party
Speaker 1: for some designer and she was just like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: She was just kind of paladi everywhere she went in
Speaker 1: the room, like not interested in being there. I'm like,
Speaker 1: why the fuck did you come?
Speaker 2: She probably got paid.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't that kind of thing. It was Stella McCartney.
Speaker 2: She probably got paid. No, she probably got paid.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that kind of party. Just put it that way.
Speaker 2: There was no media. There's no step and repeat.
Speaker 1: No, no step and repeat, nothing like that. I think
Speaker 1: it was kind of a personal thing, but yet it
Speaker 1: was at the store. I don't know, she just was
Speaker 1: just sort of like, pooh, pooh is what what I
Speaker 1: left with. And I was and she was just walking
Speaker 1: around like talking to people she knew. But it was
Speaker 1: just a lot of which I thought was funny because
Speaker 1: she just seemed miserable back in the day with everything
Speaker 1: or being famous or something. But I like her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, she's she's definitely settled into that and she's
Speaker 2: been you know, she's less hot famous than she used
Speaker 2: to be, but she's still famous, so she's you know,
Speaker 2: she's she's matured and handling the relationship with fame differently,
Speaker 2: So kudos to her. We've talked on the podcast about
Speaker 2: how Kim Kardashian is dating Odell Beckham Junior, and some
Speaker 2: Kardashian fans might remember that, prior to dating Kim, Odell
Speaker 2: Beckham Junior was linked to Chloe Kardashian.
Speaker 1: I saw that on our Patreon message board. Is that true?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, you know, they've actually hello, look at
Speaker 2: Travis Barker too. Travis Barker was first with Kim and
Speaker 2: now he's married to Courtney, and he even wrote about
Speaker 2: it in his memoir Like That's Immortalized Forever. Chloe gave
Speaker 2: Kim permission, according to reports to date Odell Beckham Junior,
Speaker 2: So all is good there. Speaking of Kim, her ex
Speaker 2: husband Kanye West. We are going to find out today
Speaker 2: how well his new album does. But it is projected
Speaker 2: to debut at number one.
Speaker 1: Hi, buy that I told you that last week. He's
Speaker 1: got fans. He's formally brilliant.
Speaker 2: Anyways, Kanye insists though he's been very active on Instagram,
Speaker 2: and he insists that he's not Taylor Swift's enemy and
Speaker 2: that he's been helpful to her career.
Speaker 1: M he has been a foil. She needs foils in
Speaker 1: her things, so in that regard, sure, let him have
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 2: He also denies that he was kicked out of the
Speaker 2: super Bowl. Instead, he says that he just went to
Speaker 2: another box to hang with friends and that he wanted
Speaker 2: to walk around and have a nice time with his wife,
Speaker 2: who had never been to the.
Speaker 1: Super Bowl before.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, whatever. Also, Chloe Kardashian's baby daddy, Tristan Thompson,
Speaker 2: is being dragged by Kardashian fans for liking Kanye West's
Speaker 2: photo of his nearly naked wife. That doesn't bother me.
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: Yeah me neither.
Speaker 2: Also upsetting a lot of people. The Royal Watchers, as
Speaker 2: they're called fans of the British royal family, were triggered
Speaker 2: when Prince Harry and Megan markle they've basically changed their
Speaker 2: last name. They're now using Sussex as the surname for
Speaker 2: their children because British Royals, at least the high ranking royals,
Speaker 2: don't have last names. Oh really no, they're just Prince
Speaker 2: so and so or oh whatever.
Speaker 1: That I'm watching The Crown again. It's funny because I
Speaker 1: didn't like the Princess Diana season. I'd stopped at some point,
Speaker 1: but I've picked it back up and I'm actually finding
Speaker 1: that I am liking it. So I'm about to get
Speaker 1: into the new season that they just dropped. So I'm
Speaker 1: back with the crowd everybody, and I'm liking it. I'm
Speaker 1: liking it a lot.
Speaker 2: And Prince Harry was in Canada recently for some event
Speaker 2: with his charity, the Invictus Game, and I feel for him.
Speaker 2: I feel for him because he's damned if he does
Speaker 2: Damned if he doesn't, meaning if he's asked about his father,
Speaker 2: there's no right thing to either talk about it or
Speaker 2: not talk about it. Whichever one he does, he's going
Speaker 2: to be criticized for it.
Speaker 1: So welcome to being famous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got so much more to get to. We'll
Speaker 2: do a lot more good stuff on the podcast. But
Speaker 2: one last thing on sorry I'm the Patreon. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: one last thing. For today's show, Arianna released the remix
Speaker 2: of her song Yes And with Mariah Carey, which I
Speaker 2: on a recent show I pointed out how that song
Speaker 2: debuted really well at number one and then plummeted and
Speaker 2: died a quick death. So this is a way of
Speaker 2: Ariana goosing the system and turning things around dot dot dot.
Speaker 2: But the remix is so lackluster. Have you heard an now? Huh?
Speaker 1: I like the song. I like the single. I told
Speaker 1: you from the beginning. I thought it was a pretty
Speaker 1: good song.
Speaker 2: I like the song too. I never loved it, but
Speaker 2: I liked it. But I like this remix even less.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, huh.
Speaker 2: It's so weird because Mariah back in the nineties, she
Speaker 2: was the remix fucking queen. She was like she used
Speaker 2: to have different versions of songs, like a hip hop version,
Speaker 2: the pop version. She used to do music videos for
Speaker 2: the remixes. She would even fucking go in and for
Speaker 2: the dance remixes, add new vocals and give them to
Speaker 2: the remixers.
Speaker 1: But those were hers. Yeah, this is Arianna's you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like I could see where she's spiced
Speaker 1: trying to spice it up. They should have put Maria
Speaker 1: in charge and said here's the track, you can knock
Speaker 1: it up.
Speaker 2: I know, But what I'm getting at is like, at
Speaker 2: least make it feel a little different or a little special,
Speaker 2: like add an extra thirty seconds with like an outro
Speaker 2: or a bridge or I don't fucking know. It just
Speaker 2: felt so boring. It was boring. There's nothing Wow, Okay,
Speaker 2: Rob Mariah's on it, but like it adds nothing. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Let's take some calls. Hey guys, it's falling
Speaker 2: from Southwest Florida and love. So just have to say though,
Speaker 2: pres you do not you can't objectively say anything about
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift like you're just such a bando. Like I
Speaker 2: agree with Booker, she was just it was all about
Speaker 2: me and me. I just feel like, yeah, she's a great artist.
Speaker 1: And all that, But I don't know like she.
Speaker 2: Needs to take it down. If you nutches in the
Speaker 2: humble department, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she needs to do anything. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I agree with that last part, But
Speaker 1: the first part, I'm wholeheartedly on board with what she said.
Speaker 2: Compare Taylor Swift to Beyonce. Okay, Beyonce thinks her shit
Speaker 2: doesn't stink at least. Taylor Swift at points pretends to
Speaker 2: be humble.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't get what any of that means, but
Speaker 1: I like your response. Here we go, Hey, prev, Hey Booker,
Speaker 1: this is Renee calling from Washington State.
Speaker 2: I just had a question about what your thoughts were.
Speaker 2: You may have already talked about this.
Speaker 1: Regarding Kanye West and his wife Bianca. Just wondering what
Speaker 1: your thoughts were about all of these pictures she's thought
Speaker 1: of her on his website.
Speaker 2: All over where she is wearing.
Speaker 1: Nothing but like a raincoat or I don't know, a
Speaker 1: paper bag that is like strapped underneath her and up
Speaker 1: over her shoulders.
Speaker 2: Thoughts on that, well, I have a few thoughts too well,
Speaker 2: but I'll keep him brief. My first thought is maybe
Speaker 2: it was Kanye who was the mastermind of the Kim
Speaker 2: Kardashian Naked Years era. Yeah, remember how she used to
Speaker 2: be naked all the time.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent agreed with that. I always thought that
Speaker 1: that was kind of assumed, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2: I thought it was just her doing like a cheap
Speaker 2: way of like getting attention. So maybe, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: maybe Kanye was behind that. And secondly, I don't give
Speaker 2: a fuck. It doesn't bother me. But what I do
Speaker 2: find weird is there was this TikTok video that was
Speaker 2: deleted that Northwest posted, and she drew this drawing, and
Speaker 2: one of the things that she drew was a naked
Speaker 2: photo of Kanye's wife, Like she drew Kanye's wife in
Speaker 2: one of her looks. That's just weird to me. The
Speaker 2: fact that she's aware, she knows what's going on.
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like there's a lot of parenting going
Speaker 1: on on at least one side of that family. That's
Speaker 1: what I'll say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Well, before we say goodbye, a quick thank
Speaker 2: you to some new Patreon supporters. Thank you to Kathleen
Speaker 2: Moore who just signed up. We appreciate you. Thank you
Speaker 2: to Marlee Davis, Thank you to Marcy, thank you to
Speaker 2: Alexa Bochia, and thank you Janet Finkel.
Speaker 1: Sweet thanks for listening. We appreciate you. Eight hundred and
Speaker 1: seven that's our phone number, and we'll do this on
Speaker 1: Thursday for the Patreon Show again.
Speaker 2: Have a good week, everybody.
Speaker 1: Take care.
