Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren z E mccomedy from the home
Speaker 1: office in Austin, Texas. It is a big week for us,
Speaker 1: for our family, and I bet it is a big
Speaker 1: week for hundreds of thousands of other families around there.
Speaker 1: It's graduation time, folks. So for everybody whose children are graduating,
Speaker 1: whatever level they are at, we feel you because we
Speaker 1: have a son graduating college this week, so everybody's kind
Speaker 1: of going through it. We are excited. I was watching
Speaker 1: the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix, and I do feel
Speaker 1: that there is finally a shift in our culture from
Speaker 1: being so worried about who can we cancel? And why
Speaker 1: that last night was. I don't know if it's the
Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg, but it's part of this breaking
Speaker 1: through this barrier of the bullsh and they just had
Speaker 1: this really fun night that was really inappropriate, and as
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart kept saying, get comfortable in the uncomfortable people,
Speaker 1: this is happening. This is comedy. This is what comedy
Speaker 1: is all about, pushing those boundaries. Did every joke work?
Speaker 1: Did every joke land last night? Gosh, no, most of
Speaker 1: those people weren't even professional comedians and.
Speaker 2: Had a lot of them though.
Speaker 1: It was really funny, but a lot of stuff was
Speaker 1: written for these people and they did the best they could.
Speaker 1: But to me, it was really more it personified what
Speaker 1: we are all so thirsty for and desperate for, which
Speaker 1: was kind of an inappropriate raw night where they touched
Speaker 1: the third rail. They went there, they pushed every single
Speaker 1: boundary and offended everybody and we all laughed. Everybody in
Speaker 1: the room laughed. Nobody stormed off stage, nobody got in
Speaker 1: a fight, nobody protested. It was just comfortably uncomfortable the
Speaker 1: entire night and it was brilliant. God, we needed that
Speaker 1: and it was.
Speaker 2: It was incredible. I usually don't watch a roast, and
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not into sports, so I didn't really
Speaker 2: know the Tom Brady roast thing was happening, but you
Speaker 2: were watching it, so I watched with you, and I
Speaker 2: thought it was so funny. And you know why, I
Speaker 2: think in part it worked is because there was unification
Speaker 2: in the uncomfortable. Like, like you said, nothing was off limits.
Speaker 2: Everybody was getting made fun of by everybody else, and
Speaker 2: everyone was laughing at themselves, and it reminded me that
Speaker 2: comedy and society used to be like this. I mean,
Speaker 2: roasts used to be a thing that people did all
Speaker 2: the time. Comedy used to be more free. And I
Speaker 2: saw someone say the other day, what was it about?
Speaker 2: It was? It was something you and I were watching
Speaker 2: together and somebody was talking about, like how Americans are
Speaker 2: so not comfortable making fun of themselves like that in
Speaker 2: other is this familiar to you?
Speaker 1: Saw that?
Speaker 2: Okay? Never it was somebody like saying that, you know,
Speaker 2: Americans just it's a little like like other countries don't
Speaker 2: take themselves so seriously culturally. And I agree, Like you
Speaker 2: think about British people and they kind of like give
Speaker 2: each other crap more than we do, and I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we used to be less like this,
Speaker 2: for sure. And it was just so nice that everybody
Speaker 2: was on the same page about like not being sensitive.
Speaker 2: And remember Kevin Harr went through that you know, semi
Speaker 2: or full cancellation, whatever you want to call it, when
Speaker 2: they removed him from hosting.
Speaker 1: The Oscar cancel. Yeah, he got canceled by the Academy.
Speaker 2: And good for him for like coming back and you know,
Speaker 2: having the career he has. He was so funny last night,
Speaker 2: and I just thought that, yeah, it was refreshing, and
Speaker 2: it was like a little there was a little part
Speaker 2: of me tensing up with some of it, and I was,
Speaker 2: but then I felt at ease because, like he kept saying,
Speaker 2: and everyone kept saying, hey, this is what we're doing tonight.
Speaker 2: We're just making fun of each other and it's okay.
Speaker 1: And it's sad how jarring it was because this used
Speaker 1: to be commonplace where we would, as the British would say,
Speaker 1: as you just said, would take a piss out of
Speaker 1: each other. It's you go at each other and laugh
Speaker 1: and take it all. And by the way, kudos to
Speaker 1: Tom Brady because why did he I don't know why
Speaker 1: you did this, but man, you know what, this is
Speaker 1: why he's the goat. He It wasn't maybe the hero
Speaker 1: that we asked for, but he was the hero we needed.
Speaker 1: Where Tom Brady allowed himself to be the center of
Speaker 1: ridicule in all the jokes. Number One, Netflix didn't promote
Speaker 1: this well enough. As a Tom Brady sports fan, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know it was on. I stumbled upon it,
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure how big the numbers were. I
Speaker 1: did a very unscientific poll today on social media, over
Speaker 1: seventy five percent didn't watch it or watch it live,
Speaker 1: which worries me.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe they will know that they've heard that.
Speaker 1: I hope it will get more penetration. I hope more
Speaker 1: people will watch it because now it's on Netflix and
Speaker 1: it's on streaming and you can go back and watch it.
Speaker 1: But the fact that we all kind of missed it,
Speaker 1: I'm glad Netflix did live. The fact that it was
Speaker 1: live meant more. I hope that means more streamers will
Speaker 1: jump into that game because that vibe last night. The
Speaker 1: Forum was packed, They had a great There was.
Speaker 2: So much energy. It felt so unifying. It's the same
Speaker 2: reason I remember someone saying, Okay, look Taylor Swift's Eras tour.
Speaker 2: Of course it was going to be big. It's Taylor Swift,
Speaker 2: and people hadn't been to concerts in a while, so
Speaker 2: we knew it was going to be big. But why
Speaker 2: was it the biggest tour ever? And maybe in part
Speaker 2: because we were all looking for a unifying experience. And
Speaker 2: I felt that same energy last night of like people
Speaker 2: in the room laughing, and it was such a variety too,
Speaker 2: like athletes and you know, Kim Kardashian and stand up
Speaker 2: comedians and Ben Affleck and.
Speaker 1: Dana White, and there was a lot from the It
Speaker 1: was amazing and the comedians, by the way, crushed. Jeff
Speaker 1: Ross the Roastmaster came out. I mean he started the
Speaker 1: night off. I mean Kevin Hart kind of did because
Speaker 1: he was the host. But when Jeff Ross the Roastmaster
Speaker 1: came out in his OJ Simpson Jersey, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: and that's how the night started. Did you knew here
Speaker 1: we go?
Speaker 2: I think shout out to Kevin Hart, Nicki Glazer and
Speaker 2: that comedian Tony Hinchcliff.
Speaker 1: Is it Tony from kil Tony? Oh, he was just
Speaker 1: in Austin. He was just at the Mothership with Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1: Everybody who saw him said he crushed here in Austin.
Speaker 2: He just was like firing. He was. I mean, he
Speaker 2: went there with people, but it was just line after
Speaker 2: line after line after and it was you couldn't stop
Speaker 2: laughing as you're on this roller coaster of insanity with him.
Speaker 1: And I agree, Nicki Glazer did great. Will Ferrell showed up,
Speaker 1: did a great cameo. Peyton as Ron Burgundy as Roden Burgundy.
Speaker 1: I said this on social I'll say it again. The
Speaker 1: most awkward award went to Ben Affleck, who I thought
Speaker 1: was just a perfect fit for this Boston icon. He
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously Brady just did the Dunk King's commercial,
Speaker 1: the Dunkin Donuts commercial for the Super Bowl, and man
Speaker 1: did he was Not only did it miss, but it
Speaker 1: was bizarre.
Speaker 2: It was weird. He wasn't roasting him. He was talking
Speaker 2: about haters online. He was screaming, and I was confused.
Speaker 2: I'm like, this isn't a You're not this is a
Speaker 2: roast though, this isn't like a I don't know. Sometimes
Speaker 2: it's funny the people who are the performers actually end
Speaker 2: up performing the worst. I don't know, maybe because you
Speaker 2: get in your head, like Grant killed he was really funny.
Speaker 1: Wow, that guy's a lot of energy.
Speaker 2: Anyway, watch it if you haven't, and let us know
Speaker 2: what you think it was. I think you noted not
Speaker 2: for the certainly, don't bring your young kids in the room.
Speaker 1: Not for the faint of heart. But it was a
Speaker 1: good night. It was a great night to exhale, and
Speaker 1: everybody in the room, like you said, I think everybody
Speaker 1: was jarred a little bit. And then everybody settled in
Speaker 1: and was like, oh, that's right. We used to be
Speaker 1: human beings. We used to be able to interact as humans.
Speaker 1: No matter where we come from, no matter how we talk,
Speaker 1: what we look like, we can all get along and
Speaker 1: laugh and make fun of each other. And again, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: you're the hero We needed man because you needed someone
Speaker 1: who's so big and so untouchable that we got to
Speaker 1: just rip on him for three hours. And it was
Speaker 1: kind of based on him. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: anybody intended for that to be the consequence, but it was.
Speaker 1: And I heard so many people saying the same thing today.
Speaker 1: What a weird blessing that was.
Speaker 2: You know, we've talked about this a lot, but I
Speaker 2: think we've sometimes lost the plot on the importance of intent.
Speaker 2: It's very different when someone's insulting you were trying to
Speaker 2: be mean, versus when they're obviously trying to be funny
Speaker 2: and having fun with you. Like and I guess I'm
Speaker 2: sitting here saying, like, I can laugh about my dead dad.
Speaker 2: I make jokes about that. I make grief jokes all
Speaker 2: the time. Other people can make grief jokes. It's cool.
Speaker 2: I would rather laugh about it than cry about it.
Speaker 2: So that's fine, and I think we just need to
Speaker 2: get back to a little bit more of that, like
Speaker 2: what's the intent. So yeah, we were I was laughing
Speaker 2: a ton. Highly recommend. Also highly recommend. We saw The
Speaker 2: Fall Guy over the weekend. I cannot figure out why
Speaker 2: this movie didn't have a bigger opening weekend than it
Speaker 2: did because you guys, Ryan Gosling Emily Blunt, the chemistry
Speaker 2: they have. It was so good to go see movie
Speaker 2: in the theater or wherever, but just to be reminded
Speaker 2: of what a good movie, good acting, good script, and
Speaker 2: chemistry is.
Speaker 1: There are several there are mini scenes with the two
Speaker 1: of them. I couldn't get enough. I couldn't wait for
Speaker 1: the next scene because the tension, the chemistry was so good.
Speaker 1: I forgot what great acting looks like. I forgot what
Speaker 1: great chemistry looks like on screen. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: see those two keep going for hours. The movie was great. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it's a throwback to an old TV show of my
Speaker 1: childhood and I did not with Lee Majors, and I
Speaker 1: think it was Heather Thomas back in the day, and
Speaker 1: so a great nod by the way, which maybe people
Speaker 1: have talked about this I didn't know, but it was
Speaker 1: a great nod to the stunt community and just to
Speaker 1: Hollywood in general. There was a lot of movie references
Speaker 1: in it, which you and I are big movie buff
Speaker 1: so we loved all the little references and all the
Speaker 1: easter eggs. Great movie. I did not expect it. I
Speaker 1: thought it would be kind of slap funny, silly. No,
Speaker 1: it's witty, it's it's smart, it's smart.
Speaker 2: Every side character is great, Winston Duke who plays like
Speaker 2: Ryan Gosling's friend and fellow stunt guy. And it is great.
Speaker 2: It just it moved so fast, great action sequences. And
Speaker 2: by the way, it is one you can take your
Speaker 2: kids too. I think it's PG.
Speaker 1: Thirteen or something like.
Speaker 2: It is such a fun movie. I would take your
Speaker 2: family and enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Kind of like going back to the Brady thing. It's
Speaker 1: like our expectations are set so low now. I wasn't
Speaker 1: expecting to go enjoy the movies again. We go to
Speaker 1: the movies all the time, and we walk out and
Speaker 1: we're like, oh man, that's two hours. We'll never get back.
Speaker 1: We left the Fall Guy and I'm like, okay, well
Speaker 1: you know what, all week, baby, we're back I.
Speaker 2: Think we've also lost It's interesting the criticism is still there, right,
Speaker 2: but we've lost the value of critics. And by that
Speaker 2: I mean you used to kind of be able to
Speaker 2: read a movie reviewer. God, I said, we sound so
Speaker 2: like back in the day right now, but truly like now.
Speaker 2: I do think people are afraid of being critical because
Speaker 2: they don't want, like I don't know, they don't want
Speaker 2: to get called out online by an actor, by a
Speaker 2: studio or something. But the critics are still there, they're
Speaker 2: just like everybody instead of like the official paid critics.
Speaker 2: Sometimes like I can't figure out. I have to admit
Speaker 2: I hate to say it because I wanted to like it.
Speaker 2: But we also watched another movie last night, The Idea
Speaker 2: of You with Anne Hathaway, and I had heard this
Speaker 2: movie was so great, and I found it to be
Speaker 2: so painfully slow, the pacing of it. I didn't laugh.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand the characters. I didn't sense why they
Speaker 2: were into each other. The plot didn't like. The plot
Speaker 2: points didn't make sense, the character's motivation didn't make sense.
Speaker 2: Now all that being said, anne Hathaway looked incredible. Well,
Speaker 2: her bang her bangs. I might go get banks yeah,
Speaker 2: I might get bangs. I mean, I'm constantly debating on
Speaker 2: this and usually my friends text me, no, don't do it.
Speaker 2: But she looked amazing and she was great. But the
Speaker 2: movie was not great, and yet it's getting rave reviews.
Speaker 2: I'm so confused.
Speaker 1: The best thing I can say about this movie Anne
Speaker 1: Hathaway's Bangs, and the soundtrack was great. If you would
Speaker 1: like to see this movie, go see it. It's called
Speaker 1: Nodding Hill. That's how this movie was done well. When
Speaker 1: there was great acting and there was chemistry. All the
Speaker 1: things we talked about with Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling
Speaker 1: was not in this movie. It was in Nodding Hill
Speaker 1: with Julia Roberts. Yeah, I do see that.
Speaker 2: Although I don't think it was the actor's fault on
Speaker 2: this one. I think the script was bad. It was
Speaker 2: right again and again. The pacing just I don't know.
Speaker 2: Don't waste your time on this one. I texted a
Speaker 2: friend about it and I said, the best part is
Speaker 2: Anne Hathaway's Bangs. She watched it and said, I agree.
Speaker 2: I should have listened to you. Why did I watch it?
Speaker 2: The best part was her bangs, a comment I usually
Speaker 2: reserve for Dakota Johnson Films. So wow, we are endorsing
Speaker 2: The fall Guy. We are not endorsing the idea of you.
Speaker 2: The idea of it was good, the movie itself was not.
Speaker 1: And the Tom Brady Roast was a twelve out of
Speaker 1: ten absolute home run.
Speaker 2: So I guess we're just here with recommendations today.
Speaker 1: Go that's what we got and have a great week everybody.
Speaker 1: We have a busy one. My heart will be with
Speaker 1: my boy who's graduating, and my heart is with you
Speaker 1: as always as you are going from one grade to
Speaker 1: the next, whatever that is in life. Wish you all
Speaker 1: the very best, all our love, and we will do
Speaker 1: it again next time because we have a lot more
Speaker 1: to talk about. Thanks for listening. Follow us on Instagram
Speaker 1: at the most Dramatic pod ever and make sure to
