Speaker 1: Look man, oh I see you? Why and look over there?
Speaker 1: How is that? Cher? Yes, goodness, lost culture, a new day,
Speaker 1: a brand new day, and more gifts to be shown
Speaker 1: when you say, a brand new day, and more gifts
Speaker 1: to be shown and to share. Here's the thing, But
Speaker 1: when do you consider yourself a good gift giver? I
Speaker 1: really don't know. I don't know how to self identify.
Speaker 1: Because today I was just like, oh, should I get
Speaker 1: gifts for the office. I was like, well, that's a
Speaker 1: lot of people. It's a lot of people that I
Speaker 1: was like, but I'm also like that. I was I
Speaker 1: couldn't think of a single thing. Like, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Miss Heidi Gardner nails it. Every year I've heard tell
Speaker 1: of her gifts. She is a slay Every Christmas. Will
Speaker 1: give you thoughtful, queen, baked Goody's, queen Candy's gummies, queen
Speaker 1: things that you can immediately enjoy, up in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: up in the bakery, up in the partissary. Here they're everywhere.
Speaker 1: And then on Saturday Night Live on stage, wild on camera,
Speaker 1: slaying Heidie Gardner, thoughtful, talented and ultimately fashion, fashion and
Speaker 1: a queen and a queen and her I'm sorry. You
Speaker 1: were going to say, ultimately a good gift giver, which
Speaker 1: I'm not because I'm like, I can't think of anything. Oh,
Speaker 1: Doug is saying mcribs, mcribs for the whole cat, for
Speaker 1: the whole casting crew. Yeah, get him a macrib you
Speaker 1: love it. So maybe, but truly, the dietary restrictions are
Speaker 1: beautifully diverse. That's a dog, says Now, Doug says, what's
Speaker 1: Doug trying to say? Dog? What are you trying to say? Doug?
Speaker 1: Come in here, Doug, come in do come in here, Now,
Speaker 1: come in here, come in Here're gonna get We're gonna
Speaker 1: get you. We're gonna get We're gonna get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of this. Doug. What are you trying to say?
Speaker 1: This is this is engineer dog, this is Doug. Do
Speaker 1: you feel emboldened because before we got on, Bowen said
Speaker 1: that you looked handsome and hot with your new haircutter, Like,
Speaker 1: what's what's going on? Yeah? Of course, I mean who
Speaker 1: wouldn't be right? What are you trying to What are
Speaker 1: you trying to say about the micrib? I was just
Speaker 1: trying to be funny. Well, what will you say? Consider?
Speaker 1: What was it? We want? We want to know. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a good idea at all. No, No, no, really,
Speaker 1: of course not. I was trying to just for a
Speaker 1: second just be in that counterfactual space and be like,
Speaker 1: what would I do. I'm just gonna keep my mouth
Speaker 1: shut from now. And I think you know what though, like,
Speaker 1: if you're going to insinuate that everyone at SNL should
Speaker 1: be given the micrib, then I just want to hear
Speaker 1: why it's a good idea, because as you as you
Speaker 1: heard bo and say there's a litany of dietary restrictions,
Speaker 1: he was just he was just kidding. I guess goodbye bye, Doug.
Speaker 1: That was the first time you heard Doug. It would
Speaker 1: not be the last. No. And see, the thing is,
Speaker 1: you know our producers, they chime in quite a bit,
Speaker 1: and we love, we love their their interactions. But they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised from this point on this challenge them
Speaker 1: when we say get on up here and sort of
Speaker 1: you know, explain yourself, explain yourself, prove it you have
Speaker 1: a strong opinion. Welcome to the world stage. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the world, world stage. Oh my god, I think this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a theme for this episode. I think
Speaker 1: that this actually is sort of what they call really
Speaker 1: a Western culture a segue. Yes, well, first of all,
Speaker 1: before we segway and I will actually know now I
Speaker 1: feel bad for undermining your perfect segway. Yeah, oh, this
Speaker 1: is what I wanted to say. I think, as someone
Speaker 1: who has received gifts from you, that you are a
Speaker 1: very good gift giver because you gave me one of
Speaker 1: my favorite things. You gave me a pair of shoes
Speaker 1: that I love. I gave you a pair of shoes
Speaker 1: when I when I care about the person, and you
Speaker 1: know how I care about you. You know that when now,
Speaker 1: okay you I feel this is a Whitney Houston song.
Speaker 1: But anyway go, I have to I I can be
Speaker 1: thought off the when there is thought to be had,
Speaker 1: like I can't be thoughtful when I don't Really, I
Speaker 1: can be thoughtful when there is thought. That is very real, Housewives,
Speaker 1: I can be thought when there is thought to be had.
Speaker 1: But for you, darling, there's no thought to be had.
Speaker 1: It's very It's like a combination of Karen he grew
Speaker 1: with the care that I don't care about you, fuck
Speaker 1: you attitude of Nini, and the verbosity of Bethany. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's trying to like really smoke you out in
Speaker 1: front of and yes, yeah, yeah, are you a good gift? No.
Speaker 1: I think that I'm getting better now that I have
Speaker 1: time in the quarantine to sit around and think, like
Speaker 1: what's a good thing to get that person. If I'm busy,
Speaker 1: like it's it's something I need to prioritize more and don't.
Speaker 1: But I've really enjoyed getting to kind of just take
Speaker 1: the time to think early about what I want to
Speaker 1: get people. And I'm actually, for the first year maybe
Speaker 1: excited about the things that I'm getting from people, just
Speaker 1: because I think that, um, they'll go over a well personally,
Speaker 1: and it's not just like i'd like to get someone, um,
Speaker 1: you know expensive, Yeah, like a humidifier, okay, or like
Speaker 1: one of those like small, tiny little humidifiers that like
Speaker 1: you know what everybody has from Christmas. Yeah, you really
Speaker 1: went above and beyond for me this year for my birthday.
Speaker 1: So I can confirm that one that you are a
Speaker 1: good gift giver. I wanted you to be able to
Speaker 1: spend the records and I know I'm enjoying my setup
Speaker 1: so much, like I have a new record collection. It's
Speaker 1: like my new favorite thing that I'm doing seriously, it's
Speaker 1: like really filling itself out. It's like I've been a
Speaker 1: good hobby. You are you are enjoying this? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm rediscovering so many good things. Like I listened to
Speaker 1: you know this isn't too old, but just like like
Speaker 1: playing Casey Musgraves here by mar and must Well, I
Speaker 1: was playing. I was listening to Mary, but like Casey
Speaker 1: Musgraves Morris, Sorry, yeah, man Musgraves, she's a soupy about
Speaker 1: chicken pass the path was upon bas and Kassie Musprass,
Speaker 1: Maaron Mustspres. She's a hero. That's like an animated shot.
Speaker 1: I would like to scorge this um. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been loving Golden Our on Vinyl. So good. And
Speaker 1: now back to the segment. Remember when we know, hold
Speaker 1: on for a second. Remember remember when you and I
Speaker 1: were out here telling all the queers to listen to
Speaker 1: Casey Musgraves. We were years but we're you and I
Speaker 1: emailed our editors at Vultramore, like we have to write
Speaker 1: this piece about Casey musk Graves. Everyone needs to hi
Speaker 1: Key Loki, hi key lokey mid key. But like she
Speaker 1: was being paid dust by the queers. Yeah, until really recently.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you something. What I she is
Speaker 1: has a song with choice on coming out. If it's
Speaker 1: not out by the time this comes out, I'll retract this.
Speaker 1: But I saw the music video today. It is stunning. Bitch.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the music video of Casey Musgraves and
Speaker 1: Miguel doing it. I might have talked about this before,
Speaker 1: but Miguel has that song Waves, and then he did
Speaker 1: a bunch of like covers of it that he duetted
Speaker 1: with other artists. So I think he might have done this.
Speaker 1: I'm making this up and he might have done when
Speaker 1: he might have done with the Grimes or something. And
Speaker 1: then he did another with Casey and he would switch
Speaker 1: the genre, he would switch the It was great. It
Speaker 1: was genius for Waves. It was like this like slowed down.
Speaker 1: And the two of them have the most crazy chemistry
Speaker 1: I have ever seen. I mean, she is stunning, stunning.
Speaker 1: She's like she's like a runway model. Stunning, stunning, stunning. God,
Speaker 1: we love Casey. Oh. We were time about vinyls, right, Tom,
Speaker 1: We're talking about vinyls. But before there was a segue
Speaker 1: which was taking the world stage. Well, hold on, yes,
Speaker 1: as gonna say it's meaningful that you bought me my
Speaker 1: first vinyl. Oh yeah, Teresa Tang And it's like so
Speaker 1: that she's the reason. She's like the first musical artist
Speaker 1: I was ever obsessed with. So it's it's it's all perfect.
Speaker 1: So once I get my setup going, it'll be great.
Speaker 1: That is what's nice about a vinyl collection, because you're
Speaker 1: not just gonna buy every album on vinyl. You're gonna
Speaker 1: buy ones that feel like they're a time and place
Speaker 1: and you put energy into them that you would like
Speaker 1: to recreate in a special way on a record player.
Speaker 1: Because if I ever want to listen to something disposable
Speaker 1: like whatever, like a single from an artist I haven't
Speaker 1: invest in, I'll just pop that on like whatever, like
Speaker 1: like Spotify, whatever I played off my laptop, whatever. But
Speaker 1: to buy an album and like invest in, it takes
Speaker 1: you back to a time in place and a feeling,
Speaker 1: which we love that. Um, so it's good to start
Speaker 1: it with something like TERSA for you. I love it.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. I remember always talk about the world stage.
Speaker 1: What does it mean when someone is on the world stage.
Speaker 1: There's the period before you're on the world stage, and
Speaker 1: then there's the period after, and they call that the
Speaker 1: grade before and the grade after of us stars life. So,
Speaker 1: for example, in the great before of someone's life, such as, um,
Speaker 1: you know Barbara streisand she was sort of you know,
Speaker 1: you know she was she was a Brooklyn girl, and
Speaker 1: she sort of rose up and started playing in clubs
Speaker 1: and places like, um, the Duplex, like you were saying,
Speaker 1: and then she rose in the New York scene, hit Broadway,
Speaker 1: was startling and funny girl. And then in the film
Speaker 1: she really hit the world stage and she want an oscar.
Speaker 1: And I think the Second Day of Culture kind of
Speaker 1: covers that sort of Barbara streisand hitting the world stage.
Speaker 1: Star is born, truly, if you will, moments with our
Speaker 1: second day here the figure we're going to be discussed figure,
Speaker 1: We're going to be disgusting. So, Matt, what is on
Speaker 1: the second dayture? It was? It was gone? It was
Speaker 1: November eleven. Mary, Mary m Cosby hits the world stage.
Speaker 1: Oh my, Mary is here. Mary is here, and it's
Speaker 1: the second most important day of culture in a row
Speaker 1: of the twelve. I as soon as you say the
Speaker 1: words Marry m culture hits the word stage, I'm hit
Speaker 1: with so many senses. Mary am culture, you too, call
Speaker 1: me out. You said, Mary am culture, Bowen said, Mary
Speaker 1: Mary M. Culture. It's a Mary M. Cosby. Bowen said, culture.
Speaker 1: It's a rule of culture. It's rule of culture number two.
Speaker 1: Mary M. Cossie. Bowen said, Mary M. Culture. But let's
Speaker 1: just when I say the words. When I say the
Speaker 1: words Mary M. Culture hits the words world stage. I
Speaker 1: can see it, I can hear see it. She's wearing
Speaker 1: with a metallic, metallic blazer but with the Chris the green,
Speaker 1: that green Christmas tree looking dress. She's wearing that hideous garment,
Speaker 1: hideous garment, but she's wearing a blazer over at, a
Speaker 1: metallic blazer over it. Her hair is like is down um.
Speaker 1: She's got six inch long stiletto is also metallic, but
Speaker 1: rose gold for some reason doesn't Matt doesn't echo the
Speaker 1: metallic silver from the blazer. I should have said it
Speaker 1: was a silver blazer. I see that. But I see
Speaker 1: her like with her arm on her hip and she's
Speaker 1: literally stepping on a miniature version of planet Earth in
Speaker 1: space like it's black behind her, but she's slamming her
Speaker 1: heel down on the surface of our planet. One of
Speaker 1: the most epic things I've ever thought about. And I
Speaker 1: hear this sound on impact on impact of her heel
Speaker 1: hitting earth. I'm literally, I'm not even joking. This is
Speaker 1: what I hear. I am edging hard. Do it crown like?
Speaker 1: She hits the world stage and it's like it's like
Speaker 1: a stag. It's like a frown. Oh my god like
Speaker 1: and it's Mary M Culture, not Cosby m Culture, no
Speaker 1: hitting the world stage. And now we all know who
Speaker 1: Mariam Culture is. If you don't know who marry Am
Speaker 1: Culture slash Cosby is, reader Matt, tell him Marry M
Speaker 1: Culture and you know what, Yeah, we are taking the
Speaker 1: Cosby out of it. We're gonna take the Cosby bad things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're taking it out. I do love that her
Speaker 1: name is Miriam cos people. We're taking it out of it.
Speaker 1: She's Merriam Culture for this episode, all right, stupid. Mary
Speaker 1: Am Culture is the newest mover and shaker of the
Speaker 1: housewives franchise in Real Housewives of Salt Lake, and she
Speaker 1: has been the topic of conversation. Why. Oh, it's because
Speaker 1: she's currently married to you guessed her grandmother, who is
Speaker 1: since past ex husband she is. She is married to
Speaker 1: her step grandfather. The man that was basically her grandfather
Speaker 1: figure is the one she is married to. Now you
Speaker 1: might think this is a little odd, Well, it was
Speaker 1: in her grandmother's will that one of her granddaughters do
Speaker 1: this so that she could eventually step into her shoes
Speaker 1: as the first lady of the Pentecostal church in Salt
Speaker 1: Lake City, Utah. Thanks right, she is. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they are ordained. I don't know the specifics in
Speaker 1: terms of um religious titles and maybe wouldn't want to know,
Speaker 1: and leadership roles, I maybe wouldn't want to know. But
Speaker 1: she is, I guess an ordained Pentecostal minister. She oh,
Speaker 1: and she feels her fantasy, she feels her fan of
Speaker 1: But she is a professional orator in a sense. And
Speaker 1: yet the words that come out of her mouth are
Speaker 1: so shocking, and that, of course it makes sense. So
Speaker 1: the words like words like what you smell like hospital.
Speaker 1: I had to get my odor glands removed. It was
Speaker 1: a twelve different surgeries. I almost died twice on the table.
Speaker 1: They had to bring me back. They had to bring
Speaker 1: me back. They had to bring me back. Or words
Speaker 1: like one of the one of the worst wildfire that
Speaker 1: killed people turned into some of the best grapes I've
Speaker 1: ever tasted. Out of context, they like they did you
Speaker 1: remember that from last night show? Yes, I distinctly remember them,
Speaker 1: like all coming in, all coming in. We should say
Speaker 1: to her met gala themed luncheon, to theme, to theme
Speaker 1: your your event after another event that changes themes is iconic, carthartic,
Speaker 1: even it's cathartic. It was a startic moment in history
Speaker 1: to understand that the women had no prompt other than
Speaker 1: met a famously themed annual event. It was held in
Speaker 1: a restaurant in in Ostaria in Salt Lake City with
Speaker 1: a thin, thin red carpet that maybe had was four
Speaker 1: feet in length total velvet rope. You had beefeater slash
Speaker 1: Christmas toy soldiers valeting the women out, opening the women's door,
Speaker 1: the car doors, and then two or three fake papar
Speaker 1: rocks or fake photographers snapping photos of these women walking
Speaker 1: inside this one story restaurant in Salt Lake City. And
Speaker 1: then they walk into their settings, to their play settings,
Speaker 1: where they are um greeted by a journal that has
Speaker 1: the words boss lady on them, and they're prompted to
Speaker 1: write something about themselves. That they want the group to
Speaker 1: know as well as air pods. As well as air
Speaker 1: pods when we are understanding this to be a real
Speaker 1: person in the world, it's important that we lift that
Speaker 1: person up to the front of the culture now in
Speaker 1: terms of housewives and why we should care. Bethany Frankel
Speaker 1: is a part of the culture. Ninny Leaks is a
Speaker 1: part of the culture. To to move to move on,
Speaker 1: you know, Lisa Brenna is a part of the culture.
Speaker 1: Lisa vander Pump is a part of the culture. This
Speaker 1: individual has the power, Miriam. Culture has the power to
Speaker 1: shake things up internationally. She has a great responsibility now
Speaker 1: to speak for us on an international on an international level,
Speaker 1: because these women, you know, they do they they're international,
Speaker 1: They're all over the place. Any Frankel, she's feared. She's
Speaker 1: feared in all nations across the across the world. She
Speaker 1: is one of the most fearsome figures. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when we saw her at the Emmy's I literally don't
Speaker 1: and we were like, that's Bethany. Honestly, maybe I was
Speaker 1: more having a suity moment about it, or like that's
Speaker 1: fully Bethany, just out in the wild. I'm you must
Speaker 1: have blacked it up. Maybe you were so anxious, you know,
Speaker 1: like Big Night, the Big Night. Sometimes there's some jitters
Speaker 1: on Emmy Night, you know, on the Purple carpet, the Emmys.
Speaker 1: It just gets really feels so big, and you know
Speaker 1: you've been watching it every year since you were a
Speaker 1: little and then all of a sudden you're there. You know,
Speaker 1: Miriam Cosby, which what kind of leader do you want
Speaker 1: her to be if she ever reaches that international international level, diplomatic,
Speaker 1: diplomatic leader, which I think she has shown. I like
Speaker 1: her to be a diplomatic leader, compromise, centrist, It could
Speaker 1: be the most centrist you we need. We need more centrism.
Speaker 1: We need more centrist. We obviously need more centrist. America
Speaker 1: has spoken we need to be more centrist and keep
Speaker 1: things the same. We need to do nothing. Things need
Speaker 1: to not change. We need to be more centrist. Is
Speaker 1: the way things are going. Now, that's good. We need
Speaker 1: more more centrism, stay the same. Stop. I said, everybody this,
Speaker 1: these episodes are going everyone's gonna catch up. Just this
Speaker 1: is gonna this is gonna be weird. Matt. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: everyone's going to catch up to the baseline. That I
Speaker 1: have been at this whole time, which is there is
Speaker 1: no one funnier than Matt Rogers. No, don't do that,
Speaker 1: Matt are this is art. You're being ho ish. Stop.
Speaker 1: I'm just having a good time with my sister Sara.
Speaker 1: You know what I've been thinking a lot. How we
Speaker 1: have to make these twelve days of culture surprising coming
Speaker 1: from us. We can't have any bullshit like it's Disney
Speaker 1: s No, but I mean, it's well tried territory cannot
Speaker 1: be trod again. But Miriam Cosby is an exception because
Speaker 1: she's it's a Barber Strays and Stars moment, Bethany frankl potential.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying thinking. But you why are you
Speaker 1: putting that limit on yourself? No, no, no, I'm look,
Speaker 1: we've talked at NaSTA if you want, but if you
Speaker 1: want to talk about Disney being a part of the
Speaker 1: there's bigger than Disney. There is so much bigger. So
Speaker 1: you're saying, you're saying, there's not going to be a
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson day. There's not going to beg My Jaws
Speaker 1: on the floor. I've I don't Kelly doesn't need she
Speaker 1: she are you? Are you going to commit to this.
Speaker 1: There is no Kelly on this. Oh my god. Well, readers, okay,
Speaker 1: we should just say we were we did not do
Speaker 1: this like two hundred moments in culture history. We're doing
Speaker 1: this second by second. We are we are doing We're
Speaker 1: building this out like on like ad hoc creating. So
Speaker 1: you're saying that you don't want any Kelly Clarkson days.
Speaker 1: I have spoken about Kelly Clarkson enough and she needs
Speaker 1: the holidays off from me. She needs the holidays off
Speaker 1: from me. And we've done an amazing job so far
Speaker 1: over two episodes. We have done the cultural institution of
Speaker 1: McDonald's and the cultural institution and cultural promise shown by Ms.
Speaker 1: Mary m Cosby, who said famously, what's her opening line?
Speaker 1: You smell like hospital. I'm a love god, but I
Speaker 1: will read you like script but I will read like
Speaker 1: a scripture, like like a scripture. I'm sorry. Also noticed
Speaker 1: that maryam Cosby feels no need to like say the
Speaker 1: housewives tagline like a housewife, or like do any of
Speaker 1: her talking heads like in a housewife way. She is authentic,
Speaker 1: not she's not adding an extra layer on top of
Speaker 1: who she really is. You have to respect that. Oh, no,
Speaker 1: there is no layers. She is married to her step grandfather,
Speaker 1: she has a child with him, and now when her
Speaker 1: son is acting up about who he wants to date,
Speaker 1: she will have an opinion that explains it. I never
Speaker 1: thought of it like that. I'm a dumbo. I'm just
Speaker 1: watching these shows like fully. Oh, no, these are deep texts. No,
Speaker 1: they are. They really are deep texts. I've never doubted.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, our friend Natalie Walker says Housewives
Speaker 1: is Shakespeare. You're seeing pat those play out in these
Speaker 1: in these truly shocking ways that make you rethink how
Speaker 1: suffer for ring happens or joy happens? Can you literally
Speaker 1: believe though, that there's only been four house four Housewives
Speaker 1: of Salt Lake episodes, and already it's in the whole world.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, I feel like I could slide
Speaker 1: into a booth at a restaurant with the girls and
Speaker 1: be like everyone, I have an opinion and I'm ready
Speaker 1: to share it. I don't like Meredith. I don't like Lisa.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Meredith is the glue. No, she's the glue.
Speaker 1: Meredith is the glue, and I'm just engaging. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not engaging, and I'm just engaging. No longer engaging,
Speaker 1: I said, I do, I just engage. I don't think
Speaker 1: you should talk to a woman like that. No, that's Lisa. No,
Speaker 1: that's what. No, Lisa. Is Lisa crying because she has
Speaker 1: high goals. At the end of the episode, was I
Speaker 1: texted you about that, right? I was like, but I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm Lisa, So I did think it was
Speaker 1: hilarious that she started crying out of nowhere talking about
Speaker 1: her own goals. I was like, where is this going
Speaker 1: to go? That was the only non marry related thing
Speaker 1: that episode that I was like, oh my god. What.
Speaker 1: Also Meredith telling her something important about her life and
Speaker 1: Lisa being like, is it gonna make me cry? Don't
Speaker 1: make me cry. I'm crying. I'm crying a lot. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not going Okay, I'm not gonna cry. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: didn't think of that. Wow, Lisa is it's to me?
Speaker 1: It's funny, Like literally, that entire scene. The thesis of
Speaker 1: that scene was Lisa tries not to cry while Meredith
Speaker 1: tells her about her separation from her husband, her the
Speaker 1: father of her children. Okay, The through line was Lisa
Speaker 1: did not want to cry. Okay, well, I guess this
Speaker 1: is the thing I like. I like watching Lisa and Meredith,
Speaker 1: but they are not likable to me, whereas Heather at
Speaker 1: it Heather, Heather, Heather's growing on me so much. In
Speaker 1: a lot her her saying yeah, I'm yeah, I'm dressed
Speaker 1: to like a flapper and I have cankles, like calling
Speaker 1: the uber driver cankles. I'm like, Okay, she's so funny.
Speaker 1: And then I mean, I'll go over there if we
Speaker 1: make eye contact, but if not, I'm gonna wait from
Speaker 1: my chicken lollipop sticks iconic. And then Whitney I think
Speaker 1: is really fun too. Whitney is great, great talking, She's
Speaker 1: really good. She actually is the one that has impressed
Speaker 1: me the most. I love that. It's like a thing
Speaker 1: that she get a stripper pole in her house, so
Speaker 1: she must use it a lot because the women I'll
Speaker 1: talk about it. Also just like she's not like, she's
Speaker 1: not against I don't know. When I saw her, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, she's gonna be too sweet for me.
Speaker 1: But she talks a lot of ship and she's but
Speaker 1: she says smart things. Yeah, she's always right. I feel
Speaker 1: like she hasn't said anything thus far where I've been like, Oh,
Speaker 1: that person has an issue that's deeper than anything I
Speaker 1: can get from justin them talking right now. Like, for example,
Speaker 1: Jen obviously has like anger issues, Like there's obviously a
Speaker 1: deep well of sadness there or maybe loneliness like she
Speaker 1: was saying, but I think crucially is like there needs
Speaker 1: to be an assessment of like what's obviously an anger problem.
Speaker 1: Of course, Um, before we move on from Whitney, I
Speaker 1: feel like Whitney's sort of storylines that have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the Housewives are mostly about her dad, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, but like this is a really kind
Speaker 1: of like a like a lovely journey to follow, and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of like pathos there too, but it's
Speaker 1: like on its weight and it's on the right side
Speaker 1: of things. Yeah, she is like she's like she's like
Speaker 1: a good audience circuit, Like you feel like you can
Speaker 1: place herself in her situation and understand emotionally, she's a
Speaker 1: lot like honestly, um, you don't watch Dallas, but Stephanie,
Speaker 1: I can see like there's this one Stephanie where she
Speaker 1: just like really opened up about the stuff that she's
Speaker 1: gone through, Like she she made a suicide attempt when
Speaker 1: she was very young, and she was open about it,
Speaker 1: and you she I talked about this with Joel all
Speaker 1: the time. Because she's in both of our all Stars cast.
Speaker 1: If we put together housewives, you might like Dallas. By
Speaker 1: the way, No, I have no reason to not watch it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I get I literally get not watching it. It's
Speaker 1: like doubts on face value. I didn't watch it for
Speaker 1: so long. It's like Dallas, Like, am I gonna hate
Speaker 1: watching these like rich white women who have like Southern values,
Speaker 1: conservative values, like tow the line between like what's low
Speaker 1: class and half society? And I gonna like that? I did? Um,
Speaker 1: that's how I fell going into some cities like am
Speaker 1: I gonna want to watch these wealthy women? And they're
Speaker 1: the most liberal cast? They are? They really are. It's
Speaker 1: it's interesting, Yeah, it's it is. It is interesting. Like
Speaker 1: Heather Gay said something that was really great about trans rights.
Speaker 1: Did you see this? Did somebody? Somebody comments? And on
Speaker 1: her instant I was like, how does it feel to
Speaker 1: be the first trans housewife? Like like making it was horrible?
Speaker 1: It was it was like just trying to demean her.
Speaker 1: And she said, I am so happy to be an
Speaker 1: advocate for the trans community if it's helpful. I think
Speaker 1: that everyone deserves equal rights and that everyone Like she
Speaker 1: just like went on and she was like, you're saying
Speaker 1: this as an insult, but like, if I can be
Speaker 1: someone who's visible that says that trans lives matter, that
Speaker 1: black trans lives matter, Like she basically kind of just
Speaker 1: took that opportunity to be like, I'm an ally just
Speaker 1: so everyone that follows me not. I love that because
Speaker 1: it's not even her like trying to like snipe back.
Speaker 1: But she was just like, oh no, I refuse the
Speaker 1: terms of this insult that you are putting forward and
Speaker 1: I'm only going to go the other way. Like that's great,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, good for her. Yeah, yeah, it was
Speaker 1: cool to read. And this is before the show started.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to talk positively about anyone really
Speaker 1: in the moment of Mary culture. Oh no, this is
Speaker 1: Miriam Culture's moment. Yeah, because none of them matter ultimately,
Speaker 1: but hitting hitting the world stage like mm hmmm, what
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, what do you see any
Speaker 1: sensory it's any sensory thing that it's associated the Greek theater.
Speaker 1: It's nine thirty. The show started at seven. The sky
Speaker 1: is black, but thousands of stars on stage, cutting through,
Speaker 1: cutting through, even the Los Angeles smock. The stars in
Speaker 1: a way, calling out, saying, we're here and we're ready
Speaker 1: to be joined by a new star. Understand that we
Speaker 1: are your family. The stars screaming out for something. On
Speaker 1: stage is just that familiar landscape, you know, that familiar
Speaker 1: musical landscape. The drums, the guitars, the keyboards, all empty.
Speaker 1: No one is there in the audience, However, thousands of
Speaker 1: people screaming, screaming, Stars, Star. They're screaming for the star.
Speaker 1: H Star, come out, Star, screaming out backstage, just offstage.
Speaker 1: The star is shaking. She is so trembleful, and she
Speaker 1: is such a star, like everyone knows it, everyone that
Speaker 1: sees her knows it. She has star quality. She's a
Speaker 1: star shines. But still she's shaking so much. And a
Speaker 1: man approaches her, and I mean, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: don't mean just any type of man. I mean a
Speaker 1: real man, okay, one who can handle some bricks and
Speaker 1: some wood and some trees. Okay. He has that rugged
Speaker 1: look of a man, not a boy, a simple boy,
Speaker 1: not a simple boy. And he says to the Star,
Speaker 1: I will be with you out there too. He says,
Speaker 1: just those simple words, I will be with you out
Speaker 1: there too. He says, hey, hey, I will be with
Speaker 1: you out there too. And she sort of looks up
Speaker 1: at him and she says, I know this is about
Speaker 1: to change it all everything, and he just shakes his
Speaker 1: head and he just said, you know. He's like yeah,
Speaker 1: And in that moment they not only just fall in love,
Speaker 1: but they start walking and then so emotional even for me,
Speaker 1: I was there, that I was there that night, you
Speaker 1: were I was there, and um, she gets start once
Speaker 1: the crowd sees her. It's just it's so clear, it's
Speaker 1: so clear she's she's Star. And Star gets to the
Speaker 1: mic and she looks out to the crowd and everyone's
Speaker 1: just like it's just a thick wall. And she holds
Speaker 1: up one finger. She says, one thing. She holds one
Speaker 1: finger up, this one the pointer finger, just the pointer
Speaker 1: and everyone within seconds and it is silent, and suddenly
Speaker 1: the Star drops her hand and the beat comes in
Speaker 1: and she says, who tell me? That causes her to
Speaker 1: shoot into the sky. Salt it a fi in a
Speaker 1: gaseous form. She becomes her own son, planets circle around her,
Speaker 1: and the stars all around her turned to her because
Speaker 1: they too were once performers, and they say, girl, you
