Speaker 1: Podcast starts now, what's up everyone around the globe? But
Speaker 1: the vibes are already electric. It's Friday, it's sunny as fuck.
Speaker 2: It's Friday in Los Angeles, and I'm living out loud.
Speaker 1: I want to say, I'm feeling so electric. George is
Speaker 1: in town still and it is so nice.
Speaker 3: You know what we never did speaking of Los Angeles
Speaker 3: is the game that I invented heim Lick never caught on,
Speaker 3: which is where you say three things and then you
Speaker 3: have to decide which one's the Dannielheim, which one is
Speaker 3: the STI him, and which one is the Alanaheim.
Speaker 1: Well, I think we're not dead yet, and I think
Speaker 1: we can play it today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I also I know that you thought of
Speaker 3: the name heim Lick, and I like it.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, yeah, you thought of you thought of it.
Speaker 3: What if it's heim Pick because you're picking one to
Speaker 3: be each of the sird I mean not.
Speaker 1: To be we're talking about Hollywood hand Book. I think
Speaker 1: you're a Hollywood handood pill and you're really zeroing in
Speaker 1: on some puns in a way.
Speaker 2: Though, Oh, that's try'd being very well.
Speaker 3: I do want to make it public that I am
Speaker 3: officially Hollywood Handbook pill me too. When we went into Hollywood,
Speaker 3: which if you're listening to this, maybe that hasn't come out.
Speaker 3: We did Hollywood Handbook. I went and I said, first
Speaker 3: of all, this is a competition, and second of all,
Speaker 3: I'm winning.
Speaker 1: I said, just let them win.
Speaker 2: I know these straight.
Speaker 1: Guys are bigger than me, they're better than me. Let
Speaker 1: them have their fun.

Speaker 3: back down.
Speaker 2: You have it all wrong, my fe You're so good

Speaker 3: biggest grip bitch down.
Speaker 1: Please wow.
Speaker 3: And I just want to say I know we're edging
Speaker 3: you by not actually saying your name. The fact that
Speaker 3: Sam is the one who wants to cut the intro
Speaker 3: short is huge. Usually I'm the one that wants to
Speaker 3: cut the intro short, and Sam, you know, as conflict
Speaker 3: a versus you can be, is like, no, we're doing
Speaker 3: the intro.
Speaker 1: That's true.

Speaker 4: This, I think this is a classic thing that people
Speaker 4: do as they get older. This was like good hair
Speaker 4: ten years ago, and now I'm like, is this even
Speaker 4: the style anymore? I know it's not.
Speaker 2: Well here's what I do.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I know exactly what we're like, Oh this looks good.
Speaker 4: Great, I did it again, and then I walk out
Speaker 4: and I'm like, exactly what.
Speaker 2: You mean to me?
Speaker 3: Please do not take this as a negative, because it
Speaker 3: is a positive. Julio has a bit about how all
Speaker 3: the women in Marvel movies have beach waves to like
Speaker 3: soften the blow of the fact that they're spreading American imperialism.
Speaker 3: And but but again, I don't mean that as an insult.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, that's why they're beautiful.
Speaker 1: Right right? As are you?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: I do I like love, I love a this is
Speaker 4: like what I feel like works for my head.
Speaker 2: But are you going to do have like an undercut?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you see, like there's just darter.
Speaker 1: I think it's time for the octopus cut. It's the
Speaker 1: octopu cut. You know what Gaga has, what Miley has, what.
Speaker 2: Has Yes, I've never heard of it as.
Speaker 1: The banks and other banks, then longer you know our friend, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the chops, streat chop, the straight chop, and then then
Speaker 1: the long Yeah, Hayden dis just cut her hair like that.
Speaker 2: Really, I was like, oh, yeah, it looks good. I
Speaker 2: was like, you look like a celebrity.
Speaker 1: It's very celeb it's very celeb because it's hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of time, I remember st did it a
Speaker 4: couple years ago. People have been doing it. People have
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, like the Grammys, especially everyone.
Speaker 2: If it's the Grammys, you gotta do it.
Speaker 4: It's the Grammys and you're not.
Speaker 3: Whether you're your Time or Selena or Selena Gomez says
Speaker 3: it is, you have to do it.
Speaker 1: What is it called again? Octopus? The octopus cut?
Speaker 2: I cannot believe.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't know that either.
Speaker 4: Wow, now you're sitting here thinking, did you make that up?
Speaker 1: I did not.
Speaker 2: Here's a question, what about it is octo?
Speaker 1: It's tentacles that it's not tentacles. That's I look at
Speaker 1: that head, I see an octopus city on a head. Okay,
Speaker 1: because it's tentacles, I see like I.
Speaker 4: See like a stair. Oh, it should be called the stairs.
Speaker 1: Helmet helmets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's helmet heads. Here's the bold cut though, Yeah,
Speaker 2: helmet helmet banks, helmet banks, helmet banks.
Speaker 4: Wait, okay, so do you have to have banks? You don't?
Speaker 4: It could be yeah, I don't think you have to
Speaker 4: hear it could be banks. And then second layer it
Speaker 4: should be called like the three layer step three strip
Speaker 4: on three strip throats and just make it makes sense
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you something now that we're naming things.
Speaker 3: Recently I found out a close friend of ours.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to hear off camera.
Speaker 1: I want to know who it is right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well we can a close friend of ours reveal
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: A close friend of ours, by the way, is like.
Speaker 3: I I consider him very successful. He's written on some
Speaker 3: great shows. He like, he's sort of by Coastal Diva,
Speaker 3: very bravely by ghost. He literally revealed to me just
Speaker 3: out of nowhere that this entire time he has held
Speaker 3: a sometimes full time, sometimes part time job at The
Speaker 3: New York Times as a naming specialist where he literally
Speaker 3: like names games or like does work.
Speaker 1: With their podcast team Cool.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, that is so this, don't you think
Speaker 3: that is the most rom com slash sext and city
Speaker 3: boyfriend Josh. It's like being a cartoon editor at the
Speaker 3: New York.
Speaker 1: Being like a chocolate tear.
Speaker 2: He's being He's Julia.
Speaker 4: It's also like the rom com girl would say it
Speaker 4: and nobody would really question totally.
Speaker 3: But it's also like he's a naming specialist, but he
Speaker 3: doesn't want to put a label on.
Speaker 1: Things cattle something I mean, even like I would, and
Speaker 1: then when you do find only married, like the sequel,
Speaker 1: when you're married to the naming specialist, and it's like
Speaker 1: really tense because like they can't think of the name
Speaker 1: for this thing, and they're like locked in the room
Speaker 1: and you're taking care of the children and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: he's in their naming. Meanwhile, I have to fucking bring
Speaker 1: the kid to school. And obviously it's not as good
Speaker 1: as the first one, but it's real.
Speaker 3: And it finally does think of the name. It's inspired
Speaker 3: by the woman's name or like by the way it's
Speaker 3: like Darcy Productions.
Speaker 4: He's like, and then he's like, yeah, it's always worth it.
Speaker 4: I married a good one. I can't wait to hear
Speaker 4: this is bumping back a minute, but I cannot wait
Speaker 4: to hear your Hollywood hand Book. Oh my god, I
Speaker 4: cannot wait.
Speaker 1: No, go ahead. Well, I don't feel like my performance
Speaker 1: is amazing, and it's hard to.
Speaker 4: Have to say it's hard to be amazing on that show.
Speaker 4: It's so disorienting.
Speaker 1: It's so disorienting. Yeah, and I was also like, I
Speaker 1: think they're so funny, and I was sort of like
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, like I was like, do I
Speaker 1: be combative agreeing.
Speaker 4: One of my favorite things listening to that podcast is
Speaker 4: when you can tell the person is like, what are
Speaker 4: we doing here?
Speaker 1: What do you want from this? Like?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I asked my friend who's a religious listener, and she
Speaker 3: was like, you have to be yourself and not try
Speaker 3: to do them at them, because you seem like a
Speaker 3: loser if you try to like do exactly what they're doing,
Speaker 3: because they're going to be better at it.
Speaker 4: And then they'll then they'll like cut you off at
Speaker 4: the knees and you'll, yeah, it's humiliating when they get you.
Speaker 1: I also want to say about my performance, and even
Speaker 1: I want to of course, guys, I need to like
Speaker 1: their third brother, I need to talk about my performance. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: And this is actually something that I've been thinking about because.
Speaker 3: Actors on Actors, but for our podcomments on Hollywood hands
Speaker 3: and you're the moderator and you haven't seen it, I
Speaker 3: get I know it.
Speaker 1: So we also recorded here two days ago, so we've
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of podcasting and normally, as you know,
Speaker 1: when we do our podcast, we sit around a desk. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm actually realizing that we're sitting on sort of a
Speaker 1: set both here in Hollywood Handbook, and I'm feeling like
Speaker 1: when Gaga and a Star is Born went into the
Speaker 1: studio and they couldn't find it. Like she was like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound the same, it doesn't sound the same.
Speaker 1: And then Bradley Cooper's like, get a piano in here, totally,
Speaker 1: and then she said, desk for you, piano desk.
Speaker 4: It's like a comfort or it's just like it's what
Speaker 4: you know, it's what I know.
Speaker 1: I know. I was.
Speaker 4: I was telling them as I came in that I
Speaker 4: was wearing kind of dumb socks, but had the thought,
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter because we're going to be sitting behind
Speaker 4: a guy damn.
Speaker 1: Table lo and behold, no it's a new and don't wrong,
Speaker 1: this is much better. But I'm finding my performance more confused.
Speaker 2: Okay, so if anyone not watching, it's like usually we're.
Speaker 1: Around, we're taking a conversation and a.
Speaker 3: Couch and armchair. Yes, so here's I have a theory
Speaker 3: about this, please you know how like the definition of
Speaker 3: Uncanny Valley is like just close enough to the real thing,
Speaker 3: but slightly farther in a way that makes it almost worse.
Speaker 3: So I think the fact that I set like this
Speaker 3: is almost living room, but not a white living room
Speaker 3: makes it more confusing than if you're just around a
Speaker 3: completely artificial.
Speaker 2: Desk in a conference room. Right, I think you're right, And.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, I'm like, should I sort of like
Speaker 3: kick off my shoes and take my phone out.
Speaker 4: As I would like hiding my water?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean you have one of those trad
Speaker 1: wife cuts. Wow, how long have you been sporting this.
Speaker 4: So long that look at it's not even it's not.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sit straight, it's not even level.
Speaker 4: I've been sporting this. So is this trad wife Well,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Someone said that to me once.
Speaker 4: Then the one with the big handle, but this is closed.
Speaker 2: The built in straw freaks me out right. Well, mold,
Speaker 2: of course, ship I never thought, but also.
Speaker 3: Sorry, like you should be able to angle a straw
Speaker 3: to get the last of the liquid?
Speaker 4: You kind of can. I can't have every last drop
Speaker 4: of this. Let me listen, corner, Oh you can. Oh
Speaker 4: you're right right, corner. Wow, what I found?
Speaker 2: I did see.
Speaker 4: That's understanding of the media I found years ago. I've
Speaker 4: been I've been, I've been on this for a while.
Speaker 4: Is the straw helps me drink so much more water.
Speaker 4: I hate this. I hate this, hate hate tilting. I
Speaker 4: don't know what's up with my neck or throat or mouth,
Speaker 4: but I hurt myself drinking a lot.
Speaker 2: Really, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4: I think so bad, not so bad, like just kind
Speaker 4: of like like like if I'm well, For one, I
Speaker 4: don't I don't know. I don't know. You only have
Speaker 4: the mouth you have, so I don't know, and the
Speaker 4: throat you have, and so I don't know what it's
Speaker 4: like for other people. But I think I have a
Speaker 4: hard time doing big swallows.
Speaker 2: This is great.
Speaker 3: I really like this because it's very celebrity to have
Speaker 3: a super specific.
Speaker 2: Like imagine like the.
Speaker 1: Moment you're an actress on set and you like tilt
Speaker 1: back and you.
Speaker 4: This is the weird thing. It's not even like I'm
Speaker 4: pulling my neck. It's like inside my my swallowing mechanism.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 4: If I'm if I'm like listening, if I'm tilting this
Speaker 4: when I drink, I'm like, oh, oh my poor little esophagus.
Speaker 1: What swallows? Sure?
Speaker 4: Anyway, what I found is if I'm just sitting here
Speaker 4: looking at you, glug glug glug glug fucking day that's
Speaker 4: like this, something happens, something I don't want to do this. Okay,
Speaker 4: here's the other thing. This I can It can be
Speaker 4: a constant swallow. This is one gould, one gold.
Speaker 2: That's very true. That's very thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you can hold it up.
Speaker 4: This is actually I can't, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This is also.
Speaker 2: Wow, this is so.
Speaker 3: This is why when I get an iced coffee, I
Speaker 3: finish it in like two seconds. When I get a drip.
Speaker 1: Coffee, well, I wish I had a straw.
Speaker 2: Oh you don't have.
Speaker 1: I don't have a straw with an ice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I always wish I had.
Speaker 3: Sam is doing sippy cup ice coffee right now again
Speaker 3: for anyone just doing audio only.
Speaker 1: I've actually recently been going out of my way to
Speaker 1: get a straw from my coffees because I hate I
Speaker 1: hate when the ice touches my mouth.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's your injury, little actress. How chea? Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 4: I I I used to be on the set of
Speaker 4: The Good Place, My My, My, My favorite two costume people.
Speaker 4: They called me Contigo Girl because I had a contigo.
Speaker 1: I guess I thought.
Speaker 4: That's great, But I guess I have a s l M,
Speaker 4: a slim or something now, but I used to have
Speaker 4: a contigo contigo and I, which is just a brand of.
Speaker 2: I think that's what I have. But did yours have
Speaker 2: a straw?
Speaker 4: A straw? It's also it was plastic, and then you
Speaker 4: know the whole thing, well, of course, and then all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, I'm like, I'm drinking out of this thing.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't understand microplastic, but I know it's happening. I
Speaker 1: do not understand wants, but I know it's happening. So
Speaker 1: then I was like, you gotta go, you gotta go
Speaker 1: medal anyway.
Speaker 4: So now I'm I mean, but I'm sure kidding me.
Speaker 1: The County Go girl they called, they call me, and I'm.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, everybody called me. I made everybody call

Speaker 3: dommed us. But now we know them better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now we know them better, and I think
Speaker 1: we need to have them back on again. And really
Speaker 1: this is I love how inside the Extra studio. This
Speaker 1: is okay because we have them on. I had never
Speaker 1: listened to their podcast, which was now You're obsessed and
Speaker 1: I'm upset.
Speaker 4: But that's kind of dommy if you did not have
Speaker 4: listened to them, Yeah, I know, but still you let them.
Speaker 2: Do them preparing. The truth is we started preparing more.
Speaker 3: We started preparing more to have someone on that wrote
Speaker 3: a novel, and we both read the novel. Okay, we
Speaker 3: have one hundred pages left that's nothing you can do that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, or in two days? Are you reading it or
Speaker 4: are you listening to it reading?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I read it took a band's copy, Girl Girl.
Speaker 4: I think this has probably been talked to death. But
Speaker 4: where do you guys stand on calling listening to audiobooks reading?
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say, I love when
Speaker 1: the guest asks the question and prom us. I count
Speaker 1: that as a form of DOMITIU and I celebrate it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't wait to keep dom and I think this.
Speaker 1: I'm actually very torn on this.
Speaker 4: Think.
Speaker 3: The thing is, I only do maybe like two audiobooks
Speaker 3: a year. I mostly read on paper, and I have
Speaker 3: no problem counting them. And they're usually like it's usually
Speaker 3: sort of like middle brown nonfiction. I can't read, and
Speaker 3: I can't listen to a novel, and I definitely can't
Speaker 3: listen to like a complex like nonfiction book that's like
Speaker 3: deep journalism. So it's like like I listen to the
Speaker 3: Tina Brown like Vanity Fair Diaries, for example, or like
Speaker 3: or like something that's for like self help adjacent.
Speaker 4: Alo listen to a memoir.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's a good one, but yeah, I count it.
Speaker 3: I put it in my little notes s app of
Speaker 3: like the books I've read, so.
Speaker 4: I do too, and I'm I'm my sisters and my
Speaker 4: mom read so much more than I do. But they oh,
Speaker 4: I just I just.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, everything going on.
Speaker 4: But I uh, anyway, I my sister recently said, I
Speaker 4: guess this is what it is. I think you should
Speaker 4: totally count them on your list. But do you say
Speaker 4: I was reading?
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, you say I was listening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you said I was listening. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can say I did consume that piece of media.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, I consumed that.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: The other question, does listening to podcast counter is reading?
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: The most cute thing is that my mom always does
Speaker 4: is because I read so much less than my very
Speaker 4: very reader siblings. My mom is always like, but honey,
Speaker 4: you're always reading scripts. She's always giving me that. It's
Speaker 4: really cute because I kind of played dumb in my family.
Speaker 2: You got to play a role.
Speaker 4: I got to play something.
Speaker 1: Places and last looks. Really appreciate that she gives that
Speaker 1: to me. That is nice. Yes, you can read doll.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're like Google go yeah, a little googoo goga.
Speaker 4: I'm a little Google. Yeah.
Speaker 2: A little.
Speaker 4: Go go, Google, Go.
Speaker 1: Goo Google, Got got girl? I'm ready to what's the
Speaker 1: word confess something embarrassing? I can't wait. Okay. When I
Speaker 1: was like twenty three or twenty four, I listened. I
Speaker 1: was a dog walker, so I was listening to a
Speaker 1: lot of things, and I listened to the audiobook of
Speaker 1: the Rules of Power because I was felt like I
Speaker 1: was being overlooked in the open mic comedy scene.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess what it worked. You know, exactly following
Speaker 2: you is your job writing on a major late.
Speaker 1: Leaking my Stanley Cup.
Speaker 4: So did it Did you learn anything from it?
Speaker 1: For sure? For sure? Yeah? I actually did find it
Speaker 1: like kind of helpful where I was like, oh, there
Speaker 1: are well and it's like I think about it a lot.
Speaker 1: I confus use the Rules of Power with the rules
Speaker 1: of fashion sometimes where which is the one? I'm the same?
Speaker 2: I'm the same.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it, but like the first
Speaker 1: like page is like of the Rules of Power. They're like,
Speaker 1: first of all, if you think you don't need to,
Speaker 1: like you don't want to learn the rules of power
Speaker 1: while you already are playing them, you're just losing. And
Speaker 1: I was really faster, and I feel that way about
Speaker 1: clothes too, where people are like no, it's so I
Speaker 1: don't want to look like anything. It's like, no, you
Speaker 1: already are you look like something?
Speaker 4: Holy shit, I need to read both of these.
Speaker 2: So the fashion thing is really so true.
Speaker 3: It's like because sometimes you convince you're a badeely the
Speaker 3: has and you convince yourself oh whatever, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Suddenly you find yourself. It's like you're alone in this
Speaker 3: like giant, like empty world and you're like, oh, so
Speaker 3: this is just what I think I'm bringing to today.
Speaker 4: Oh fuck, I need to read rules of fashion.
Speaker 1: It's hard. I'm really in my.
Speaker 4: Sweatshirt while it's unfit, bad fitting chants.
Speaker 2: It's it's very la la.
Speaker 3: It's like someone walks into a profession setting and they're
Speaker 3: like in their pajamas with fluffy slippers like slippers, robe,
Speaker 3: hair in a net and they're like, Hi, so where
Speaker 3: can I Where can I put my pillow?
Speaker 2: Totally, but that is like in la that is a power.
Speaker 2: That's the rule of power number one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's rule of power. I'm about to Okay, my

Speaker 4: I have like a suitcase full of clothes, and so
Speaker 4: there's this weird thing where I'm where I'm like, this
Speaker 4: is my my. This is all I got, like, like
Speaker 4: for I don't know how long. I'm also decided. I'm
Speaker 4: like I'm not buying anything new, like I'm really living
Speaker 4: in this. These are the like three pairs of pants
Speaker 4: you brought, and the three sweatshirts and T shirts and
Speaker 4: and in my brain is like, this is fine because
Speaker 4: this is a situation you're in. But then I went
Speaker 4: to like a not fancy meeting yesterday, but I should
Speaker 4: look nice and I had.
Speaker 1: Likes, but I was like, but I'm displaced.
Speaker 4: And I'm like they don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I'm in a weird I'm in
Speaker 1: a weird this is liminal thing. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Context is so important. Context is so important.
Speaker 4: Girl is so important.
Speaker 3: I need I I actually sort of want to develop
Speaker 3: my theory about context creators a little more.
Speaker 1: Okay, when did you talk about this again? It's at
Speaker 1: our sketch fest life, that's it. And no one liked it.
Speaker 2: No, they did love it.
Speaker 3: They we had a context. I think what happened was
Speaker 3: it was so smart, its very that it wasn't funny.
Speaker 3: People were just like listening and taking notes. But I
Speaker 3: wasn't getting last You were so smart, I was shut up.
Speaker 4: I do love just kind of being Google go Gum
Speaker 4: listening to this podcast and like learning stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: And guess what you're smart too, Sam?
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 4: George is like the smart one. Oh my god, Sam,
Speaker 4: guess what you're really smart?
Speaker 1: Non cut. I really appreciate it, you know that. Right
Speaker 1: of course.
Speaker 2: It's moving on from this.
Speaker 4: Sorry, back to context.
Speaker 3: Okay, So my sort of like idea that I came
Speaker 3: up with on the spot is like, you know, we
Speaker 3: call them content creators, people that are on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
Speaker 3: but actually they are context creators. They are not creating
Speaker 3: new content. They're just saying something about like a red
Speaker 3: carpet look that someone wore, but putting it into new context.
Speaker 3: So what we actually need is new content. The like
Speaker 3: creator economy is just keeping us stuck because all of
Speaker 3: it is about nostalgia and about like repackaging existing things
Speaker 3: and putting them into yes, and putting them into new context.
Speaker 1: And actually, I think there's a new phrase that is
Speaker 1: speaking to this. Okay you were familiar with of course,
Speaker 1: like the she reheated her nachos.
Speaker 2: Yes, they are not choke creator, they're not show reheaters.
Speaker 1: I think people are really becoming wise to the way
Speaker 1: that everything is just being reused and recycled right right
Speaker 1: in like in a way that's like almost toxic. But
Speaker 1: it is like just a given that like when you
Speaker 1: put something out, you're not making new nachos, you're reading somewhat.
Speaker 3: And I want to say one thing, it's like the
Speaker 3: the context creator ethos started out good because it started
Speaker 3: out as being like, remember this rom com from two
Speaker 3: thousand and two, it was sexist because of X Y
Speaker 3: Z reason. And now suddenly it's in a new context
Speaker 3: and it's and it's a context that is helpful. It's
Speaker 3: being like, wow, look at all the unconscious biases we
Speaker 3: had then that we now see whatever.
Speaker 2: But then it's now it's.
Speaker 3: Taken to like such an extreme that it's like not
Speaker 3: everything is sort of like a prompt for you to theorize, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's funny that we are the ones saying that,
Speaker 3: which is like kind of our whole thing. But you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, I'm like time to got new things. Actually,
Speaker 3: I no longer need new interpretations of Bridge of Jones's diary.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 4: Wait do you mean do you mean you mean you
Speaker 4: don't need a new movie.
Speaker 2: The theaters?
Speaker 4: And strongly I had a I had a I had
Speaker 4: a I had a sad moment this morning when I
Speaker 4: saw that it was streaming. Yeah, I love your peak,
Speaker 4: Like there's a new Bridget Joke movie that I've heard
Speaker 4: is good, starring fucking Renee Zellwegger.
Speaker 1: I mean it didn't, that's all.
Speaker 2: When you said Reneegger, I had this deep feeling that.
Speaker 3: I know her, I like, I almost I felt the
Speaker 3: need to speak up and be like, oh, Renee like
Speaker 3: and as though I had some connection, and I wanted
Speaker 3: to be like, we were out for coffee the other
Speaker 3: day and she said the funniest thing, And I don't
Speaker 3: know what it is.
Speaker 1: There's maybe a past that I have a past life, your.
Speaker 4: Whole entire life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's what whole entire life.
Speaker 3: I just rewatched Down with Love and maybe that was
Speaker 3: fresh in my mind, and so it was almost like
Speaker 3: I just had Coffee with her.
Speaker 4: I love that movie.
Speaker 2: It is one of the best movies.
Speaker 1: It was underrated completely, nobody knows it.
Speaker 3: That is a great movie that I'm glad people have
Speaker 3: put into new context as like a movie that was,
Speaker 3: you know, sort of much better than.
Speaker 2: It was given credit for. Ahead of his time and
Speaker 2: all this stuff.
Speaker 4: And McGregor, Yeah, I want to say Rachel.
Speaker 2: Dratch, Yes, Rachel Sarah Paulson, Oh my god.
Speaker 4: No, it's okay from Frasier Niles Crane.
Speaker 1: Yes, David David. I cannot believe.
Speaker 2: Literally gay for sure? Sorry, I know yes because you were.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 2: You're not say something about Renees only only.
Speaker 4: That it's not like it's not a prequel. It's not
Speaker 4: like starring c W Talons or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like with them. It's with them. Hugh Grant's probably
Speaker 1: in it.
Speaker 2: I think he is.
Speaker 4: Really, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: It should be in the theater?
Speaker 4: Put a gun to my head, kill.
Speaker 1: And don't miss Gone Girl, Gone Girl. Okay, Okay, I literally.
Speaker 2: Right now see cuts Gone Girl again.
Speaker 1: Watt Are we.
Speaker 2: Just like truly breathed for our first segments so we
Speaker 2: can go back to.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Okay, thanks for having me, thanks for
Speaker 3: doing literally on cloud ninety might as well be on
Speaker 3: a mountain of cocaine.
Speaker 1: I also want to say, you know, to your incredible credit,
Speaker 1: you've been in Hollywood for you know, you you know
Speaker 1: the biz, and you we said, you know, we can
Speaker 1: do zoom any of these times, and you said no,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait. And I think it's one hundred percent
Speaker 1: worth it, and I'm so glad you did. I really do,
Speaker 1: I really I think the proof is in the pud one.
Speaker 1: This is being in person, is you're Bradley Cooper bringing
Speaker 1: the piano exactly. Our first thing is called strade Shooters,
Speaker 1: and in the second we ask you a series of
Speaker 1: rapid fire questions. It's basically this thing or this other thing.
Speaker 1: And the only rule is you can't ask any followp
Speaker 1: questions or will scream scream scream.
Speaker 4: I want to ask a questions, but I won't.
Speaker 1: I won't. George kickassof Elevated Horror or Dora the Explorer,
Speaker 1: Dora the Explorer, Teenage Dream or Wilhelm Scream Teenage Dream.
Speaker 2: The Taming of the Shrew or Defaming Mister Magoo.
Speaker 1: Oh, Kendrick Lamar or that bitch, ja'far, your wish is
Speaker 1: my command? Or he went to Tish and now he's
Speaker 1: in a band.
Speaker 4: He went to and now he's in a band.
Speaker 1: A fleet of Welsh Corgi's or the feet of Florence Welsh,
Speaker 1: the feet of Florence welch. This girl is on fire,
Speaker 1: that boy is mine, or these boots are made for walking.
Speaker 4: These boots are made for walking.
Speaker 1: Okay, plastic straws or laughs and gaffaws, laughs and gafas.
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, amazing.
Speaker 4: I'll say, okay, thank you for the doves. Did you
Speaker 4: give me three options?
Speaker 5: Why do that?
Speaker 1: Sometimes I made my head spin?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so did you say jafar and then you
Speaker 4: said your wish is my command?
Speaker 3: Sometimes that does happen, though, but you don't. We don't collapse, No,
Speaker 3: we don't collapse. But there have been I would say,
Speaker 3: like four or five times when it's like eerily similar.
Speaker 1: So yeah, same brain content, similar, yes.
Speaker 3: Very much so, similar context, same brain and I also,
Speaker 3: I hate to say it's similar sort of like algorithmically
Speaker 3: suggested content that we're consuming.
Speaker 2: Of course, of.
Speaker 1: Course, of court.
Speaker 4: That was great, okay, so I got a thousand does yeah? Okay, great? Wow,
Speaker 4: thank you well, it.
Speaker 1: Was you know, you're a performer, and there was so
Speaker 1: much nuance there, there was ups and downs, highs and lows.
Speaker 4: It was an amazing, amazing Like having heard this segment
Speaker 4: so many times, only recently did I realize it's you're
Speaker 4: not actually I don't think you're actually trying to get
Speaker 4: the person to say one.
Speaker 1: Thing or the No, it really is. It's like it's
Speaker 1: a segment. Is this segment?
Speaker 3: Is it really is us micro dos in Hollywood hand
Speaker 3: like we're we're being like, isn't it funny that we
Speaker 3: thought of these two things that rhyme yes, yes, and
Speaker 3: then it's like, now say something every wont.
Speaker 4: Last exactly exactly. I think I used to think it
Speaker 4: was like which thing is straighter? And then I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: it's which thing is gayer? And only recently was like, no, no,
Speaker 4: it's neither. It's neither.
Speaker 3: In theory, it is like it's almost like a Rshack
Speaker 3: test of like what you're drawn to says something about
Speaker 3: your personality and then all of that adds up to
Speaker 3: your score, but it's also about the performance. Like I
Speaker 3: enjoyed that when I gave you three, you were like
Speaker 3: temporarily taken aback, and.
Speaker 4: Then I think I could have lost points for honestly,
Speaker 4: on that one, I was so overwhelmed. I just went
Speaker 4: with the last thing I heard. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 4: think that's fine. I think that's fine.
Speaker 1: That was so good student, and be like you told
Speaker 1: me I got this right, but I actually I was
Speaker 1: a little It wasn't I got to the right answer,
Speaker 1: but I did it wrong. I did.
Speaker 4: That reminds me of something I did when I was
Speaker 4: in Let's say, I think I was like nine, My
Speaker 4: older cousin played too Short for me and my sister
Speaker 4: too Short the wrapper okay, we were my sister and
Speaker 4: I listened. We grew up in the Bay. We listened
Speaker 4: to a lot of hip hop, but we knew that
Speaker 4: we weren't allowed to listen to Too Short okay because
Speaker 4: he was really nasty.
Speaker 2: Line.
Speaker 4: And we were listening to Too Short in my cousin's
Speaker 4: bedroom and my parents walked in and he was saying,
Speaker 4: like fuck pussy ho what like he was saying horrible.
Speaker 4: Yeah I know, and you know, we like ran to
Speaker 4: turn it off and my my my parents were like
Speaker 4: they were mad at they were disappointed.
Speaker 1: And later.
Speaker 4: Like later that day when we were talking about it,
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm really glad that you did that.
Speaker 1: We talked about it.
Speaker 4: We were really glad that you did that because it
Speaker 4: really taught us a lesson.
Speaker 1: My mom was like, fuck off, no, you did it.
Speaker 1: She was like, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 4: And it was such a like that, so check your work,
Speaker 4: like yeah, what is that? What is that?
Speaker 1: That's people pleaser that we both have it. We have that.
Speaker 1: I've always wondered why, Like I wonder if it's like
Speaker 1: do I just have that or just like watch the
Speaker 1: right make sure of like kids TV shows?
Speaker 4: Totally, totally, totally yeah. It is that little moment where
Speaker 4: like the music changes and you're like, hey, Mom, can
Speaker 4: I talk to you for a second. It actually really
Speaker 4: it was good that you did that, and even though
Speaker 4: it was hard, we learned a lesson.
Speaker 1: She was like, shut up. When you were a kid,
Speaker 1: did you like often think like you're.
Speaker 2: In a movie?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, totally do Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember like what like I would like look out
Speaker 1: the window, the moody out. I think when you say
Speaker 1: when you were a kid, you mean to this day, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well now I can now I understand it and I
Speaker 1: can be like, oh, this feels cinematic or something, but
Speaker 1: like as a kid, I was like I wish someone
Speaker 1: was filming right now, like this is a real emotion.
Speaker 1: And I remember even like writing down once, like I
Speaker 1: took guitar lessons when I was like eight or something,
Speaker 1: and I was like so nervous because whatever whatever, So
Speaker 1: I wrote down like a piece of paper like I'm
Speaker 1: scared to take guitar lessons, like folded it up and
Speaker 1: put it somewhere and then my mom found it and
Speaker 1: was like, wow, that was so sweet, and I'm like
Speaker 1: I knew what I was doing, but like it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't like you literally put it like on her desk.
Speaker 1: You read that. Yes, I was doing it like I'm
Speaker 1: in a movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I definitely window rain on Window
Speaker 3: was obviously big when I was younger emotion For whatever reason,
Speaker 3: the last few years, walking on the street is much
Speaker 3: bigger for me. And maybe this is the la versus
Speaker 3: New York well, but walking on the street, and I
Speaker 3: would say it reached its peak during Charlie XCX, like
Speaker 3: three Party Girl, yeah, because it was just.
Speaker 2: You can't if you listen to that song and you're walking,
Speaker 2: you're gonna stop.
Speaker 1: Von Dutch specific. Sorry, that's when I was walking at all.
Speaker 1: It's it's over all the ants in your area. They're
Speaker 1: getting smart, uncle, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I went through a phase where I would
Speaker 2: listen to that Selena Gomez song that's like good for you.
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, like in a great Hacks scene right
Speaker 4: where like does that sound familiar where they're like like
Speaker 4: Poppy and Hannah, don't us. I feel like there's a
Speaker 4: great moment in house where they're blasting that in sort.
Speaker 2: Of like it's like one of the sexiest songs ever produced.
Speaker 1: It's not that song.
Speaker 3: And there was a I was probably in my mid
Speaker 3: twenties and I was living in Boston, and I would
Speaker 3: come back from like a party or something and be
Speaker 3: like a little drunk, and I would literally put it
Speaker 3: on and basically like writhe around section on my own
Speaker 3: and by myself, like not even in a way where
Speaker 3: I was just kind of it wasn't even like sex.
Speaker 2: I wasn't like.
Speaker 4: I was literally just like, yeah, you're just going to
Speaker 4: feel in your body.
Speaker 2: Oh wow that my esophag has felt bad.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I think it's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, damn, I'm gonna have to only drink through a straw.
Speaker 4: What happened girl getting redn do you go girl? Anyway?
Speaker 4: I'm like backtracking on good, Oh yeah, good the one.
Speaker 1: I love that song.
Speaker 4: I'm actually surprised, no shade to Selena, how many Selena
Speaker 4: songs I love.
Speaker 2: So the thing is she has amazing music.
Speaker 1: It's just.
Speaker 3: And you know what, I'll leave it at that beautiful music,
Speaker 3: beautiful beautiful recorded music. Yeah, when it's recorded and then
Speaker 3: it's released and then I press play on it, it
Speaker 3: sounds amazing. It sounds amazing when it comes to my ear,
Speaker 3: when it comes to my ear, when I press the state,
Speaker 3: I'm loving it.
Speaker 2: Yes, God, it's so difficult for me. So we can't
Speaker 2: go into this.
Speaker 1: But it's watched Themelia Prays over four hundred times.
Speaker 3: I've watched Amelia Press twice, Okay, one of them was
Speaker 3: in theaters.
Speaker 2: And so all I want to talk about is Amelia Press.
Speaker 3: But I can't because it's like no longer relevant, Like
Speaker 3: I don't actually have a hot take on it. But
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, since I've been in LA, keep bringing
Speaker 3: up because it's you know, you guys are you know
Speaker 3: it's like the oscars are happening, and we're in La
Speaker 3: so obviously I want to talk about Amelia.
Speaker 1: Press and the billboards are everywhere. Billboards are everywhere.
Speaker 3: We literally passed on the other day when we were
Speaker 3: driving and Sam was like, Oh, there's your girl. That's
Speaker 3: carlos Ias Khan.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I think is an incredible actress, regardless of her very
Speaker 3: contemptible political opinions. I think she really absolutely slated and
Speaker 3: was cunty go girl in that entire.
Speaker 1: So, but we can get the topic.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Darcy, what is your topic that you've brought
Speaker 2: today and what is straight about it?
Speaker 4: Okay, I've thought about this for so long. This is
Speaker 4: how I feel like. This is a hard question. It's
Speaker 4: getting harder every day, that's true, if that makes sense
Speaker 4: what I mean. Yes, it's getting harder every day. As
Speaker 4: the child wives are doing poppers.
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true. Literally the tradwives are doing pop yes.
Speaker 4: Kind of, so like it's getting harder to kind of
Speaker 4: separate what is straight and.
Speaker 3: What is getting That's like one of the you know
Speaker 3: how there's this political realignment where the right and the
Speaker 3: left don't exist anymore. It's more about sort of like
Speaker 3: are you random or are you kind of like normal? Yeah,
Speaker 3: what you're described, the sentence the tradwives are doing poppers
Speaker 3: is like a perfect encapsulation of how everything is has
Speaker 3: been remixed where nothing makes sense.
Speaker 4: It makes sense. Yeah, right, So this question, I feel like,
Speaker 4: is harder today than it was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: It's harder than it's ever been.
Speaker 1: So my so, I was.
Speaker 4: Blessed by God himself. Wow, I think he's a hymn.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I was blused by God to be doing
Speaker 4: this show on this particular day, which is that well, yeah,
Speaker 4: the actual holiday called Valentine's Yes, so.
Speaker 2: It is currently as we're recording this, it is bounced.
Speaker 4: Very fourteenth fourteenth, which I think is like sort of
Speaker 4: the beginning of force fed straight cultures when you're a kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4: It's like it's like real life straight in your face.
Speaker 4: It's not like a movie where there's like a princess
Speaker 4: and a prince or whatever. It's like, write a love
Speaker 4: note to the boy over there, Yes, who do you love?
Speaker 1: Girl? Which boy do you love? Boy? Which girl do
Speaker 1: you love? Ask them to be your wife.
Speaker 4: In front of the class.
Speaker 3: But also it's like it's a numbers game right one
Speaker 3: to everyone. Do you remember like how you would write
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day cards for everything?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I went to Yeah, I feel like mine
Speaker 1: was like gender neutral roughly where you want them. It
Speaker 1: was just like to everyone in the class.
Speaker 3: I get yeah, but would you actually write a Valentine's
Speaker 3: Day to another boy of Valentine's Well.
Speaker 4: This is I mean a girl would girl, I think,
Speaker 4: But that's different because lesbians.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it was like you would get like boy cards,
Speaker 1: like they would almost be like like like a.
Speaker 4: Little baseball player, Yeah, catch this ball, catch my ball.
Speaker 2: Jeff, please, I beg you, Jeff has a sexual awaken.
Speaker 2: I do want to catch your ball.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I just I just from there. You know,
Speaker 4: there's the things in elementary school. This is the most
Speaker 4: like force fed. A teacher makes you do it, your parents.
Speaker 1: Speak to do it.
Speaker 3: All these people, by the way, who don't encourage over
Speaker 3: sexualization in other areas of your life, Like it's like
Speaker 3: they don't let you watch our rated movies. They don't
Speaker 3: quite tell you where babies come from, Like they're not
Speaker 3: at all encouraging you to be a sexual being. But
Speaker 3: then this one day comes and it's like the purge,
Speaker 3: but for being like straight and sexual.
Speaker 4: Straight and sexual. Every holiday is this though, and.
Speaker 3: Then they like make their son do Valentine's and then
Speaker 3: he's like wait why and they're like what are you?
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly this is.
Speaker 4: It's like every holiday makes somebody do, like makes your
Speaker 4: parents do something like lie to you about Santa Claus
Speaker 4: or whatever it is. It's like these it's like, well,
Speaker 4: that's just what God himself.
Speaker 1: Told us to do, so you have to do it.
Speaker 2: You can even like not be religion.
Speaker 3: Suddenly it's Christmas and they're like, thank God Christ was
Speaker 3: born exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So so anyway, I just I don't know when
Speaker 4: how do you guys feel about Valentine's Day as adults?
Speaker 1: Right? This is where it gets complicated again. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: because I was just about to ask you. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm I appreciating dom.
Speaker 3: But I do want, like, I like the idea that
Speaker 3: the thing for like for Christmas, the thing is religion.
Speaker 1: For what are the other holidays?
Speaker 2: Like April Suddenly everyone's a trickster he loves America yes.
Speaker 1: Or doesn't?
Speaker 3: Or a family Thanksgiving everyone is even if you even
Speaker 3: if you hate your family Thanksgiving coms and you're like,
Speaker 3: we're family.
Speaker 4: Yes, I guess for you why everyone loves America Also
Speaker 4: kind of Thanksgiving, there's a little bit.
Speaker 3: Of it's like we did it, yes, good, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: And then but Valentine's the thing is everyone loves heteroseox trout.
Speaker 4: Yes, totally.
Speaker 1: I guess in theory, like I met a state in
Speaker 1: my life from like any holiday. I'm like good, Like,
Speaker 1: I think the more time we have time to check.
Speaker 4: In and be like nice, I'm the opposite.
Speaker 5: I like better.
Speaker 4: I'm like, don't tell me what to fucking do.
Speaker 1: I think that's it.
Speaker 4: I'm like, don't tell me when to kiss someone, don't
Speaker 4: when to like love my family. I think that's where
Speaker 4: I'm like, I make my own rules. But it's kind
Speaker 4: of nicer. I like better, And maybe you're better.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm you know, the guy in the rom com
Speaker 1: who's the sequel in the naming And I'm stuck in
Speaker 1: the room and like, don't talk to me when I'm
Speaker 1: naming my things, right, No, And so then I'm on Valentine,
Speaker 1: Say'm like, what have I been doing? Right, I've been
Speaker 1: so obsessed with naming things. I forgot You're right here.
Speaker 1: The whole time.
Speaker 3: Well, I do think there's a way in which hating
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day almost became equally straight. It became like this
Speaker 3: cliche of like people being like people that in no
Speaker 3: other context would even use the term capitalist suddenly being
Speaker 3: like it's a capitalist holiday that tries to sell us
Speaker 3: capitalist love, and you're like, okay, like, yeah, relax, you
Speaker 3: are just like a normal girl. You're suddenly you're like
Speaker 3: nome choump scale.
Speaker 4: I feel like my mom may have said that that
Speaker 4: sentence sudden.
Speaker 3: But it is true that it's it's almost in a
Speaker 3: weird way, quote unquote basic girl to hate Valentine's Day
Speaker 3: despite the fact that that same girl and sorry to
Speaker 3: you know, the only reason I'm saying girl is because
Speaker 3: boys are like too dumb to even have an opinion.
Speaker 3: It's like that same girl is definitely interested in having
Speaker 3: a beautiful wedding, is definitely like interested in having a
Speaker 3: great boyfriend or husband.
Speaker 2: But then suddenly on Valentine's she's literally.
Speaker 3: Like, you know, wearing a sort of like a black
Speaker 3: like a black Yeah, like she's wearing to protest.
Speaker 4: You have to like go through your if you're just
Speaker 4: like a normal girl, you have to go through your
Speaker 4: like I hate.
Speaker 3: That exactly, yeah, which is why I think I'm like
Speaker 3: interested in what Sam is saying about liking valentectics. It's like, well,
Speaker 3: maybe the straight thing is to have it have so
Speaker 3: much power over you that you're reactionary against.
Speaker 2: It, and then the normal thing is to just.
Speaker 1: It's sort of yeah, And mostly it's like if you're
Speaker 1: normal about anything, I think it's good.
Speaker 2: That's I feel about Christmas.
Speaker 4: I don't hate it, don't love it.
Speaker 3: No, I like it, and I don't associate it with
Speaker 3: anything actually substantial or rooted in reality. It's not about religion,
Speaker 3: it's not about family, it's not about anything. It's just
Speaker 3: like how fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, fun totally. It's so much better to just feel
Speaker 4: that way, especially.
Speaker 1: When like, like when I think I would hate it

Speaker 3: by the way, it's called no Funks Given. And the
Speaker 3: naming specialist thought of that title. That's how at the
Speaker 3: end he thinks of the title of the movie he's in.
Speaker 3: It's kind of being John. It's very actually, wow, this
Speaker 3: is a good Wow, it's a good movie. Then the
Speaker 3: credits are at the end of the movie.
Speaker 4: Okay, Actually, the name of the movie as you go
Speaker 4: into the movie is not that it gets renamed.
Speaker 2: You know what it is.
Speaker 3: It's inst name here, it's insert title here. That's what
Speaker 3: the movie is called. Because it's also a commentary on
Speaker 3: him being a name.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I would love that.
Speaker 4: I think it's great. Who's this starring?
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, not Zoe, which let's start there.
Speaker 1: She's cut, she's cut.

Speaker 1: actually do want Sydney Sweeney to like keep being wrong calming,

Speaker 3: than him. That could But that's not address because we're
Speaker 3: not because that would be condescending to the audience. Like,
Speaker 3: it's not about that, it's not it's not like empowering
Speaker 3: that she's old. She's just a normal girl. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: he's a normal guy. That's annoying.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's so fun Yeah, you like pretty much discovered her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you like put her on the map.
Speaker 2: I've put her on the map.

Speaker 4: their own story.
Speaker 3: That's I just am filled with love. I'm literally filled
Speaker 3: with happiness that Casey Wilson eyes out there me too,
Speaker 3: got me too.
Speaker 2: I imagine the world.
Speaker 4: If she wasn't you should this pod I met and loved.
Speaker 2: I have never met the best. And one time I
Speaker 2: asked someone I can't remember if it was like, I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I would love to do Bitch. It
Speaker 2: wasn't her.
Speaker 3: This is not her fault that I haven't done it,
Speaker 3: but it was like someone that either that reped, someone
Speaker 3: involved whatever.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I would love to do bitch.
Speaker 3: And then the person's response was like, you know, to
Speaker 3: do that podcast, you really have to be up to
Speaker 3: date on the Bravo shows, Like you can't just sort
Speaker 3: of go there and like be funny and are you
Speaker 3: not No.

Speaker 3: Casey going.
Speaker 4: On to be caught up with all of them.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of reading, I know, but but again
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I respect it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I actually would love for you to go on unprepared
Speaker 1: and have her fucking screaming.
Speaker 3: And it's like, secretly she's been a huge, uh county goal.
Speaker 4: It would be so funny if like, yeah, like fifteen
Speaker 4: minutes into the body, just see like their eyes go dead. Yeah,
Speaker 4: fucking you didn't catch up. Don't act like you caught
Speaker 4: up when you didn't fucking catch up.
Speaker 2: She literally like drops her drops her binders, Like what
Speaker 2: the fuck? Who brought?
Speaker 1: Who is this? Who is this?
Speaker 2: Always brings some.
Speaker 3: Fucking gay guy. I told them, no more gay guys.
Speaker 3: Being gay isn't a good enough credit everybody.
Speaker 1: Have you heard.
Speaker 4: T trad something like trad wife is hard for me
Speaker 4: because it's traditional wife, right, Yes, that type of ship
Speaker 4: is hard for me.
Speaker 1: Like why isn't it traad wife?
Speaker 3: Human pronunciation? I thought you were going to make some
Speaker 3: argument about where we are as a culture. We're like
Speaker 3: why is it a little bit like say this again.
Speaker 4: Okay, so like true but trad, we don't say brad.
Speaker 2: Oh you don't say traditional, so.
Speaker 4: You don't say traditional traditional, So then would it be
Speaker 4: a troade wife? But I know it's a deep like
Speaker 4: these type of things. I think. Also, what about like
Speaker 4: Beyonce when they say like bee.
Speaker 2: I completely agree.
Speaker 3: I I don't like when they say bay. I really
Speaker 3: don't like when they say bay and it alsways sounds forced.
Speaker 3: It's always like the host of eing you like entertainment
Speaker 3: read By?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's like but it's like b why Yeah,
Speaker 4: I get that that's By, but it's also Beyonce. It's
Speaker 4: also like, okay, like Mary, if I wanted to call
Speaker 4: my friend Mary Mayor, am I spelling it m A
Speaker 4: R M A R E.
Speaker 1: I'm putting an on there because it's mar.
Speaker 4: It's tricky because are really tricky and hard.
Speaker 1: This is really.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know George is going inward?
Speaker 2: What are you thinking on the spot?
Speaker 4: Okay, you're scaring us, George, don't don't go inside there.
Speaker 4: And I'm also I'm willing to be wrong on that.
Speaker 2: I'm on trad trad.
Speaker 4: Mayor, I'm just and I'm also willing to be a hypocrite.
Speaker 4: I might be, I might do it all the time,
Speaker 4: but it's just trad is really trad. Trad do be
Speaker 4: traged brad Trud.
Speaker 1: I mean, trud is.
Speaker 2: Like trud wife.
Speaker 1: The thing is trad. Okay, we're actually now like fully
Speaker 1: post language.
Speaker 2: I love tra.
Speaker 1: Trad wife. They do it because it sounds more glamorous.
Speaker 1: Yea trud wife sounds like truck.
Speaker 4: It's bad.
Speaker 1: You're like trudging through the wife of trad wife.
Speaker 3: It's like, in order to have to like eliminate their power,
Speaker 3: we have to start calling them trudi. Yes, totally, But
Speaker 3: I also okay, tradwife is one of those things that
Speaker 3: I have just never believed in as a concept or
Speaker 3: as a trend. And I will not be gas lilt
Speaker 3: into thinking this is like some cultural force I have
Speaker 3: to reckon with. Like this is literally like five people
Speaker 3: on TikTok, and it's like an easy thing to write
Speaker 3: about and to write trend pieces about it.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. I think I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I know, I switch probably.
Speaker 4: I was going to say, you're probably right, and.
Speaker 2: You stand for nothing.
Speaker 1: I don't, George, I just want to say that, like
Speaker 1: you know, I was once in the New York bubble,
Speaker 1: and like I know how that feels, and like you
Speaker 1: really do think you're saying in LA.
Speaker 2: There are.
Speaker 1: In LA, but there's like outside, just outside, and I
Speaker 1: think they're really sympathetic to them. And I think it's
Speaker 1: like it is a bigger culture than me exactly because.
Speaker 2: To me, it's just like context creators, right, And.
Speaker 4: I think it probably what I guess what I was
Speaker 4: going to say when you went I did, I flip.
Speaker 1: Flopped, but it was I was John Kerry, Now I
Speaker 1: was I was going to.
Speaker 4: Go on to say, I think you're right, and yet
Speaker 4: I think there's so much of the country that we
Speaker 4: are blind and have no understanding of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and.
Speaker 4: It's it bit us in the ass once, and it
Speaker 4: bit us in the ass against and it might again.
Speaker 1: And it might.
Speaker 4: It bit us once it bit us against.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, listen, maybe right, I don't want it.
Speaker 3: But I guess here's my question. Did that did the
Speaker 3: percentage of the population that is trud did that? Did
Speaker 3: that already exist before? We just had a term for it,
Speaker 3: like there have always been Well, the argument is.
Speaker 1: Like a Martha Stewart was like the type before where
Speaker 1: it was like almost an aspirational like she's making her
Speaker 1: own like table spreads, and you were supposed to like
Speaker 1: feel like you should want to do that.
Speaker 4: As you say that, I'm like, I don't even really
Speaker 4: know what a trud wife is. Is it like is
Speaker 4: it like a little prairie wife or is it like
Speaker 4: a fifties wife or is it I mean.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of both.
Speaker 3: Broadly speaking, it's just like you want to please your
Speaker 3: husband and you don't necessarily need to have a job,
Speaker 3: and you.
Speaker 1: Like fantasize about like living on the farm and making
Speaker 1: everything from scratch and whatever.
Speaker 4: Now isn't Martha Stewart interesting?
Speaker 1: Oh let's start there. Podcast starts now.
Speaker 4: Did you watch that?
Speaker 2: I watched you?
Speaker 1: Of course not. Sh I'm not watching shit. You're too busy.
Speaker 1: I'm so busy doing the most important job in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: That's why the paparannzi always outside my fucking office.
Speaker 2: Or as I was at home watching Martha Stewart documentary.
Speaker 1: Left and right.
Speaker 4: It just is it's interesting because like on on First
Speaker 4: Glance or whatever, she's a chad wife, but she is.
Speaker 1: She didn't give a show that any millionaire ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's a bazillionaire.
Speaker 3: She's also a like literally head gas later in chief
Speaker 3: like the way she's just like, yeah, my husband was
Speaker 3: cheated on me, and then like did you on him too?
Speaker 3: She's like yeah, but I'm me.
Speaker 4: I loved that. That was a That was an interesting
Speaker 4: moment because it sort of showed that she sees the
Speaker 4: world the way she wants to see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a great It was an incredible moment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because then the as as much as I'm like, I, well, okay,
Speaker 4: her going to jail through the doc I'm like, fuck America,
Speaker 4: It's like the steward was wronged. But then I'm like,
Speaker 4: is that the documentary telling me that?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 3: The thing with the thing with super rich and successful
Speaker 3: people going to jail is that every time one does
Speaker 3: it is to make an example out of them. It's
Speaker 3: not like we live in a world where everyone who
Speaker 3: commits financial crimes goes to jail. In fact, it's quite
Speaker 3: the opposite. It's like, most people who commit financial crimes
Speaker 3: don't go to jail, but then every now and then
Speaker 3: you make an example out of someone. I honestly think
Speaker 3: that's true of Elizabeth Holmes too, who I do think
Speaker 3: should have obviously was guilty, but I just mean, like,
Speaker 3: how many startup founders have defrauded investors and like not,
Speaker 3: sin's part.
Speaker 1: Of the business.
Speaker 3: That's part of the business. And you literally like when
Speaker 3: you're talking there, like yeah, you just have to fail
Speaker 3: fifteen times and then you succeed once. And you're like,
Speaker 3: by fail, do you mean steal and accumulate wealth despite
Speaker 3: never making anything, because you are absolutely killing it at
Speaker 3: that Yes, So it's like yeah, I mean yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: So it's yes and yes.
Speaker 4: Guys something.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: In when I first moved to New York, I did
Speaker 4: maybe three episodes of background work on a little show
Speaker 4: called Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1: Oh, I've heard of it.
Speaker 3: Do you have any idea of what year we're on?
Speaker 3: I haven't read anything about.
Speaker 4: And there's a really famous Martha Stewart's sketch where David
Speaker 4: Spade today is Martha Stewart. When I tell you, I'm
Speaker 4: all over that background acting my ass off, Oh, it's
Speaker 4: really feel free to go back, I will. I'm really
Speaker 4: giving it my all.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that sort of like one of the ones that
Speaker 3: was deemed I think there was like a clip of
Speaker 3: that in the documentary.
Speaker 1: I kept kind of imagine I kept looking for it.
Speaker 1: I guess they cut my seat. I thought they would
Speaker 1: have shown it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they didn't get the rights.
Speaker 4: I'm actually even remembering. This is so cute. My parents
Speaker 4: were visiting me in New York and because Martha was
Speaker 4: all over the news and the and the the freakin' rags,
Speaker 4: there was a picture of Martha Stewart I want to say,
Speaker 4: like Life and Style or a magazine or something like that,
Speaker 4: and I was just front and center, right over her shoulder.
Speaker 4: I guess not front and center.
Speaker 1: I guess right.
Speaker 2: And you were actually in the background.
Speaker 4: It was so clear that my mom.
Speaker 1: Bought like, you know, ten, that's so sweet. Yeah. Wow,
Speaker 1: background work, I mean at a time at a time,
Speaker 1: it is funny. There was such an arrow when you're
Speaker 1: starting and you're like, I'm in the background. I know.
Speaker 1: I did it, I know.
Speaker 4: And I was like, I was like, I'm using this
Speaker 4: to learn because I was kind of like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, have you ever done background work? I have.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a little bit of like there's some depending
Speaker 4: on how big the scene is or whatever, it can
Speaker 4: be a little bit of like mob like you're kind
Speaker 4: of treated like cattle and you're and you might have
Speaker 4: the thought. One might have the thought. I have the
Speaker 4: thought of like, this is not me. I'm not like this.
Speaker 4: I'm doing this because I'm learning. I'm I'm who's the grip?
Speaker 4: For example, who's the DP? Like I'm learning, I'm learning
Speaker 4: how to be on a set.
Speaker 1: This is this is not me.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to run to grab my lunch. I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna when they bring the lunch out, I'm not
Speaker 4: going to run and grab it. I'm going to get
Speaker 4: it later. Like I had all these sort of rules,
Speaker 4: and then after I think after the third episode I did,
Speaker 4: you know, every time they call me, I'd be like,
Speaker 4: I would be like, this is my moment, Like this
Speaker 4: I'm getting the call even though I knew this isn't
Speaker 4: how you get on the ship.
Speaker 1: I knew it. I was like, I know all this,
Speaker 1: and yet still you get the call and you'd be like.
Speaker 4: Who spend Saturday on the stage?
Speaker 1: I have work actually exactly.
Speaker 4: But but then after I think it was the third
Speaker 4: episode of that I did, I was like, I can
Speaker 4: never do this again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's demoralizing.
Speaker 4: It made me feel real bad.
Speaker 1: Okay, waits that.
Speaker 4: Fucked up an elitist and and no, no, privileged. Yeah, well,
Speaker 4: I mean it's privileged maybe, but I don't think at
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it is inherently like, yeah, there are jobs
Speaker 3: that make you feel bad, and there are jobs that
Speaker 3: make you feel good.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, tricky, tricky, and they also are cruel to background Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, yeah, that's my fault. It's just like
Speaker 1: a weird thing.
Speaker 3: It's so funny for your quote unquote role in the
Speaker 3: product to be reflected in the outside world because it's
Speaker 3: like then the you know, they'll yell cut and it's like,
Speaker 3: oh great, I'm now invisible again.
Speaker 4: Or invisible and you actually remind you, you know, now
Speaker 4: that you're.
Speaker 1: Not a background actor.
Speaker 3: You it's like you have to remind yourself right now,
Speaker 3: we're not doing that now, they're not meant to be silent,
Speaker 3: Like I can actually talk to that person.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but to be fair, every role is demoralizing,
Speaker 1: like unless you're like the star, that's true. I've never
Speaker 1: had that. Yeah, And it's so like you are, like
Speaker 1: it's just like the ranking. You're always in a ranking
Speaker 1: and it's always like.
Speaker 4: You're you're literally ranked like number one on the cover.
Speaker 1: I know it is. It is and like the things
Speaker 1: you get are better depending on how it's like, this
Speaker 1: is always Can we just be normal?
Speaker 2: I have to say.
Speaker 1: I think everyone should be on a set as like
Speaker 1: a hazing ritual.
Speaker 2: Everyone in the world.
Speaker 3: It should be like on a set as a hazing ritual,
Speaker 3: just to see like also growing up and seeing I've
Speaker 3: said this before, but like growing up and seeing celebrities
Speaker 3: are like these are like spoiled rich whatever, which obviously
Speaker 3: they are, but then when you see what they have
Speaker 3: to go through, even just physically like being like, yeah,
Speaker 3: you deserve one billion dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really humiliating. Yeah, well I love this tone.
Speaker 4: I know, I know you've been here for a year,
Speaker 4: a little one year, little over. It took me one
Speaker 4: full year of being your before I liked it.
Speaker 1: I met peace with it.
Speaker 4: Okay, I think you.
Speaker 3: I think you're noticeably happier, and well I'm happier than
Speaker 3: I was, but not happier than I was in New York.
Speaker 4: Right, but New York will always be there and you'll
Speaker 4: always go back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you told me last you told me.
Speaker 3: Oh, we had a chat at some point and you
Speaker 3: it was very funny you you sort of were like
Speaker 3: you were like, so, all right, when are you going
Speaker 3: to move to LA? And the implication was like LA
Speaker 3: is real and New York is like what you do?
Speaker 1: I do? I do have a feeling that New York
Speaker 1: is like no, I know it's and there's like in
Speaker 1: l A, there's like a reality totally.
Speaker 4: Do you want to die in New York?
Speaker 2: Listen, I die tomorrow if I.
Speaker 3: If it were up to me, then yes, i will
Speaker 3: come here for employment reasons. But I'm never going to
Speaker 3: move here just to move like all right, yeah, I
Speaker 3: get you. If every if work drives up in New York,
Speaker 3: you know, I'll get back to you.
Speaker 1: I know. I know.
Speaker 4: I lived in York for eleven years and go back
Speaker 4: all the time and anytime I can live there, you know,
Speaker 4: like like do something there to live there for a
Speaker 4: chunk of time. I'm always jumping, jumping at it, chomping
Speaker 4: at it, chomping at the bit, jumping at the job, jumping.
Speaker 4: I'm jumping up and down. Yeah, cast me okay, And
Speaker 4: but I it is it is. It is easier to
Speaker 4: live here, but it is better to live there. It's
Speaker 4: easier to live here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's better to live there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The older I get the more.
Speaker 3: I Also, I do feel like, unlike some people who
Speaker 3: live in New York, I at this point legitimately have
Speaker 3: roots that I mean Matthews from there.
Speaker 2: We live a ten minute walk from our little niece,
Speaker 2: like Docs or his parents live there. It's just is like, yeah,
Speaker 2: her address is, but which I do think complicates things.
Speaker 2: It's not like I'm yes, New York is a fantasy,
Speaker 2: but I'm also living a very is your body like reality.
Speaker 1: Where I am it's so extremely New York based.
Speaker 3: Matthew's job is a New York based. At this point,
Speaker 3: I have jobs that are like it.
Speaker 4: New York rocks, babe. I mean I know. Also when
Speaker 4: you're there for years and years, you're kind.
Speaker 1: Of like, no, but it does.
Speaker 3: Actually, I actually don't think the magic has We're not
Speaker 3: says magic and magic, And the thing with it is
Speaker 3: that like the magic keeps being renewed. It's like some
Speaker 3: new thing will happen and you'll be like, I can't believes.

Speaker 1: Molly or many many of us did. And it was
Speaker 1: so much fun.

Speaker 1: Months, constantly, constantly. It was like the last big night.
Speaker 1: And it was also like so telling everyone like I
Speaker 1: love you?
Speaker 4: Was it so fun?
Speaker 1: It was so much fun.
Speaker 2: I also were at this point. It's like we were
Speaker 2: significantly younger, like we were five years.
Speaker 1: We were five years.
Speaker 4: Sorry to say.
Speaker 1: Five, I'm the same age.
Speaker 4: I know we all are.

Speaker 4: those five like COVID strike Trump.
Speaker 1: Years, like they do the agent.
Speaker 4: Yeah to go girl, girl's going a little less, Yeah
Speaker 4: go to go woman, Yeah exactly, But five years, five
Speaker 4: years are fucked. Five years is so fucked because that
Speaker 4: is like that's half a decade.
Speaker 1: So you are.
Speaker 2: It is one tenth of how long SML has been
Speaker 2: on the air, like that it actually.
Speaker 1: Sounds so long. Yes, it's five, like.
Speaker 4: The difference of twenty two twenty seven, the difference of
Speaker 4: thirty and thirty five, differ of all. I mean, sorry,
Speaker 4: it's always it's always.
Speaker 2: No, it hurts, it hurts.
Speaker 4: It's always the passage of time.
Speaker 1: But that's I have a fantasy of this is this,
Speaker 1: like this is that night? Unfortunately it will not be.
Speaker 1: Of course we're already thinking that. But it's like there's
Speaker 1: something so special about going out on Valentine's and like
Speaker 1: issue the like couple of them and being like I'm
Speaker 1: going out with one million gay people?
Speaker 4: Is it is? It will tell me later.
Speaker 1: I want to know like where, yeah you're doing, not
Speaker 1: that I'm going to go.
Speaker 3: You can can I say something potentially uh damning, like
Speaker 3: risque and if you guys are like gross, you can
Speaker 3: just point of gun to meet pull a trigger again?
Speaker 1: Do you want to die? In New York, La, Zoe Door.
Speaker 2: During this LA trip, I have felt uniquely unique asexual.
Speaker 1: Well, welcome to La.
Speaker 3: Is that like there's some because usually when I'm traveling,
Speaker 3: especially if I'm like a lone in a hotel like
Speaker 3: you just there's eroticism about totally.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to be bad on uh look good
Speaker 3: for you, and you want to writhe on your back
Speaker 3: exactly the way that I not at all. And I
Speaker 3: I went to I went to the gym, I was
Speaker 3: in the locker room. I had many opportunities to feel horny.
Speaker 4: I it's like, where are you in your cycle.
Speaker 1: Is a really good question.
Speaker 4: Also, so how long have you been out here?
Speaker 1: Like four days? At least?
Speaker 4: One night feels.
Speaker 1: Literally I mean, hello, George, we're going to get you tonight.
Speaker 1: Tonight's I think we're going to get you. Yeah, but George,
Speaker 1: I want to you know, did I tell you this?
Speaker 1: You know I've been hating l A. I've been trying
Speaker 1: to like it. I was reading Joan Diddyon to try
Speaker 1: to understand, and you know, there was an essay where
Speaker 1: she's like it's like the seventies and she's like, this
Speaker 1: is a sexless town. Oh really yeah, And she's talking
Speaker 1: about like how it's a gambling town. And the thing
Speaker 1: about gambling places is there's no there's no horniness because
Speaker 1: all you're focused on is like more money, more money,
Speaker 1: more money.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I do think it's it is a sexless town.
Speaker 2: Well, it's a sexless Certainly New York is way more sexually.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God, Ellie is a sex town. It's a sexless
Speaker 1: It is a sexless town. It needs Valentine's Day, it
Speaker 1: needs someone to say have sex.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just sort of realizing it. Every other city
Speaker 4: is not.
Speaker 1: Chicago, horny, horny.
Speaker 3: And I actually think that's why LA has so much
Speaker 3: dark sexuals. It's like because it's like when you got
Speaker 3: to you have to become like perverse, you have.
Speaker 1: To be like a cannibal essentially, for example, just one
Speaker 1: example top my head. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Interesting, Okay, Well I hope that you get French tonight
Speaker 4: or whatever you're looking for.
Speaker 1: I think we're going to figure it out. For I
Speaker 1: really think I have some fun zing zing feeling.

Speaker 3: worse than doing background work.
Speaker 2: The work you have to fit into it much work.
Speaker 4: It's so it's so much, especially like especially in Understand
Speaker 4: that has to understudy many roles.

Speaker 1: and in this segment we pay homash to the Grand
Speaker 1: Street tradition of the radio shout out, shouting out to
Speaker 1: anything that we enjoy people place those things ideas. We
Speaker 1: make them up on the spot. Literally didn't think about it,
Speaker 1: and it's.
Speaker 2: I have to make it up, and actually you're doing
Speaker 2: that's awesome.
Speaker 1: I actually do have one. Okay, what's up freaks, losers
Speaker 1: and perverts around the globe. You know, as we talk
Speaker 1: about the five years that we've been through, it's affected
Speaker 1: all of us. And I'll say it. I've been having
Speaker 1: back pain over the last few months, in and out
Speaker 1: back pain. I'm stretching, it's not working. I lay flat,
Speaker 1: it's not working.
Speaker 2: What the hell.
Speaker 1: Recently someone was like, well, do you just take an advil?
Speaker 1: And I was like, but I don't do that, and
Speaker 1: they were like, just take an advil and I was like, okay, fine.
Speaker 1: I took an advilt. Guess what, it's fixed. I feel
Speaker 1: completely fine. I guess I just needed my muscles to
Speaker 1: relax for one fucking second and everything can realign and
Speaker 1: get back to normal. I've never felt more limber in
Speaker 1: my life. Only it was one damn advil. I've been
Speaker 1: hurting for months and I just took a damn advil
Speaker 1: and I'm fine. I'm ready to go out and go
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. A calling in yes collar. Hey, p Color,
Speaker 1: I have a question.
Speaker 4: Okay, when you say take an advil, do you mean
Speaker 4: one advil?
Speaker 1: I do one ad.
Speaker 4: You can do up to three.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to do up to three because
Speaker 3: one is like the equalent of like snorting, snorting, like
Speaker 3: one speck of dust.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you snort one speck of dust and feel better?
Speaker 2: Dumb dust?
Speaker 1: I did one eye bill in the morning and that night,
Speaker 1: and I feel amazing.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, if history has taught you anything, you should
Speaker 4: know that it is helping you, and therefore you should
Speaker 4: take the recommended dosage, which is two.
Speaker 3: This is you guys are doing like Brandy and Monica.
Speaker 3: The boy is mine, but shout out for him.
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: I love the show show by, so one ad bill
Speaker 1: is the correct amount. Xoxo. Lines are closed upaks and losers.
Speaker 3: I want to get the shout out to an episode
Speaker 3: of Modern Family Letter recently watched, where the plot was
Speaker 3: that all the women in the Dunfe family cycles got SYNCD,
Speaker 3: so all three of them have their period at the
Speaker 3: same time. On the day that they want to do
Speaker 3: a Get This Family trapeze class for leap day, I
Speaker 3: repeat The plot is that the cycles of the three
Speaker 3: women are SYNCD and it ruins the family trapeze leap
Speaker 3: day class, and I just want to say, why don't
Speaker 3: we have hydrics like that on television anymore?
Speaker 1: Why don't we have some like that?
Speaker 3: Is what a writer's room is for. Someone suggests what
Speaker 3: if their periods got syk? And someone says, that's not
Speaker 3: that's big. We gotta go more. It's gotta be leap day,
Speaker 3: trapeze class.
Speaker 4: Somebody said class. I've never said like that class, trappy.
Speaker 1: Class.
Speaker 4: And then some other person in that corner says, what
Speaker 4: if it's leap Day?
Speaker 1: Yeah, leap Day?
Speaker 2: And okay, here's a question for you.
Speaker 3: Do you think the cycles being SYNCD was suggested by
Speaker 3: a man or was it a woman that's like, how
Speaker 3: funny would this be? Like it's like this happened in
Speaker 3: my family or whatever.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was like the one woman in an All
Speaker 1: writers a writer she's kind of like, I'll be I'll
Speaker 1: be like fucking, I'm a guy's goal. Yes, women in.
Speaker 4: Their periods, right, I'll say it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And everyone's like, well she said it, yeah, did
Speaker 1: you need to or no, that's it.
Speaker 2: I guess just a general shout out to hijinks.
Speaker 1: Also, we're doing a deconstructed version. Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Laugh when I watched that show.
Speaker 2: Sure it is.
Speaker 1: I said this the other day publicly. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw.
Speaker 3: I did see that it was announced that you were
Speaker 3: on a handmade stale, but I actually also announced that
Speaker 3: I believe cam on that show is the best comedic
Speaker 3: television performance. Yeah, he's good other than all of yours,
Speaker 3: of course, but I think but of the twenty first century,
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is to actually pull this off, to
Speaker 3: be doing quote unquote a stereotypical gay guy and pull
Speaker 3: it off to such an extent that it actually is.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I know that, man, and it's such a
Speaker 3: beautiful portrayal of that kind of game.
Speaker 1: Man. No, it's genius.
Speaker 4: It's so it's so it's funny to call Modern Family
Speaker 4: like underrated because it's rated as ye, But like I
Speaker 4: think because it became so popular, we now can look
Speaker 4: at it like, but it is like chock full of
Speaker 4: genius performances.
Speaker 3: Ty Brown absolutely, absolutely, Sophia is one of the great comedics.
Speaker 4: Literally, like like, also, because she's so beautiful, you kind
Speaker 4: of get she is fun.
Speaker 2: Phenomenal like perfect.
Speaker 3: I have beef with that show for so long because
Speaker 3: it's the reason Jane Rokowski never won an Emmy.
Speaker 1: But guess what that's not for me? It isn't.
Speaker 4: It isn't.
Speaker 2: It's like that doesn't mean it's not.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything about Jane either, No,
Speaker 4: of course, right, I mean, Oh, it's fun, okay speaking,
Speaker 4: my hair looking good.
Speaker 1: It's just like Octimus.
Speaker 4: That's a hair. Oh okay, okay, what's up everybody?
