Speaker 1: I know? Well, ben Stein's name is trending. I did

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: have to do the young people check and ask superproducer

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Becca and super producer Victor if they knew who ben

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: Stein was. They they affirmed that they did thanks to

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: Ferris Bueller the lasting impact of the film Ferris Bueller. Um,

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: So ben Stein still out here occupying space in people's

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: brains and trending on Twitter today for reasons that I

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: would have assumed were death related. Yeah, me too. I

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: thought he died, But no, he hash He was complaining

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: about pancake syrup. Yeah he had a hot he had

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: a hot one that he had to let go. Yeah,

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: it's a it's a video of him not looking great,

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: looking a little bent over. Stoops. It's been it's been

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: a while since we've seen ben Stein in the flesh,

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: and old age has not been kind to Ben No.

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: I I honestly I thought he was about one hundred

21
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: and eight years old and had to google it and

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: he's only like seventy nine. Yeah, because you know, people

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: trying to win your money just ages you. And he's

24
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: just up all night worried about all the people coming

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: for his coin. But yeah, so he posted a video

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: where he complained that his bottle of ant Jemima syrup

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: used to feature quote a large African American woman chef,

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: but due to the inherent racism of America's corporate culture.

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Uh he it seemed like he wanted to be like,

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: it features I think, he says, but now because of

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: the racism, it features a white person, and then like

32
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: noticed that it didn't and was like features, I mean

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: no person, I mean nothing at all, just avoid and

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: it's like, should should we do take two, Ben where

35
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: you don't say it's a white person? That no, just

36
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: in the ancient art of improv and just kind of

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: riffing up here. But yeah, I mean he he got

38
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: the camera up, had the thought, got the camera up,

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's a it's an old take. I would say,

40
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: that's one one way of putting it right. Yeah, Like

41
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: the it's just so like people were even pointing out

42
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: online that, like because now it's the products a whole

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: different name like for it to have been called Antremima

44
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: and have no logo at all, and not have the

45
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: new name which is like pearl mining milling company. Milling company. Yeah,

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: not mining, they're not. You don't get the syrup from mining.

47
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: But for for it to be that specific product, like

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: it would have had to be like a two year

49
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: old bottle of syrup. Because everyone took his money twenty

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: five years ago. He can't afford syrup anymore. Yeah. So yeah,

51
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: very dated from very specific period of time. It's very

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: curious why anyone still cares what he has to say.

53
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: But I do think like people probably generally, you know,

54
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: they're aware of him from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, maybe

55
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: from his game show wind Benstein's Money, which helped launch

56
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: the career of Jimmy Kimmel was a former Nixon lackey.

57
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, is also like a deep right wing ideologue,

58
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: like a creationist. Yeah. He made like that whole documentary

59
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: about like how they shouldn't teach evolution in school. Yeah

60
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: I remember, yeah, yeah, and he's like he went to

61
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: Yale but somehow ended up as a as a creationist,

62
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: which I don't know. Once again, like it feels like

63
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: maybe A lot of the mystique of these Ivy League

64
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: schools comes from the fact that they've just only given

65
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: jobs to each other in the halls of power, right

66
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: for the past two centuries. And so we end up

67
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: with Ben Stein letting the cat out of the bag

68
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit. Why should not listen to every

69
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: character actor from classic eighties comedies? Right? And I have

70
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: to remind myself of that all the time. Yeah, be skeptical, like,

71
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: don't just believe what the principle from the Breakfast Club

72
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: tells you. Yeah, And I have a fall victim to that.

73
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I've lost millions in Ponzi schemes to various police Academy

74
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: past members. So yeah, it's a dangerous world out there

75
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: for those of us who were raised on eighties pop

76
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: culture and just inherently trust it. It is Fat Tuesday.

77
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Carnival is happening in Brazil, one of the biggest parties

78
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: in the world. This is a pre Lenten festival celebrated

79
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: around the world Brazil, most famously Italy, Spain, New Orleans

80
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: is I guess the Mardi Gras as a version of this,

81
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's time to pack in all the

82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: drinking and eating because we're all about to starve ourselves

83
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: during lent am I right, everybody, everybody on the same

84
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: page about that, Right, That's just how I do it.

85
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Every week. I just like, I eat a bunch one

86
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: day and drink a bunch, and then the next day

87
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm sober and I fast. Yeah yeah, and perpetually I've

88
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: had several heart attacks. And it's really kind of out

89
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: of sync with the way other people because you party

90
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: your hardest on Tuesday, which is usually not the day

91
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: everybody else reserves for partying hard, but you just go

92
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: all in on Tuesday, and then it's the day I

93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: used to party when like CDs and DVDs all came

94
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: out on Tuesday. That was what a time to be

95
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: alive when we just yeah, yeah, I remember. This is

96
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: kind of a tangent, But I had a friend that

97
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: worked in like the big a big bookstore in Toronto,

98
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: like one of the chain bookstores, And this was when

99
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Prince was living in Toronto, and he used to come

100
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: in every Tuesday with like his entourage and would just

101
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: buy every single CD that came out that day. That

102
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: didn't matter what, it was, just everything that came into

103
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the store. He bought and yeah, r I P. Yeah,

104
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: there are stories about that, like with you know, directors

105
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: and movie stars and stuff out in LA like that

106
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: used to just be a real status symbol. It's like

107
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: you would buy all the DVDs like when they came

108
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: out and now look at us. But you know, Fat Tuesday,

109
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: get ready to put some ash on your forehead. Catholics

110
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: the day that put ourselves out there to be you know,

111
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: marked for death by the CIA. If the Kennedy assassination

112
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: is any indication. Wait what, I'm just saying that they're

113
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: not fond of Catholics. Jeff Kok the first Catholic president.

114
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: My people are you know, always on the lookout as

115
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: supers or Brian just said, don't get me started on this.

116
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Arianna Debose, Academy Award winner for her role in West

117
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Side Story Super Talented Artist, hosted the seventy sixth annual

118
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: Baptas and started the show with a song that celebrated

119
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: the various nominees. And like I'm trying to picture in

120
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: my mind, like compare it to like the Billy Crystal songs,

121
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, when he would just come out and sing

122
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: a song at the beginning of the Oscars back when

123
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: he hosted the Oscars, and like instead of jokes, it

124
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: was just like references to the movies. Yeah, like that's

125
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: kind of what it feels like, but even more like

126
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: it almost feels more like a like rap song that

127
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: your HR department would make for a training video, right

128
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: at that level of just like this runs with this

129
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: and it is what we're talking about, you know, like

130
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: just like going through a list and finding word that

131
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: rhyme and here we go on to the next one.

132
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: And people are disagreeing about whether it's camp or whether

133
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: it's cringe on the internet. I am reserving judgment for

134
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: I need to study it further, But Jam, do you

135
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: have a position? Is it cringe? Is it camp? I

136
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: think it's closer to camp. I yeah, because there's something

137
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: about it, like I've probably watched it thirty times by now,

138
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: because I check there's it's it's both objectively bad and

139
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: completely rewatchable, and also like there's something to it that

140
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: is fascinating the world, but it's also not good. I

141
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: think part of it may be like the reason why

142
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: no one's totally sure what to call it is like

143
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: she is super talented, you know, it was working with

144
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: not great material, you know, like Billy Crystal is not

145
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: a super talented you know, singer and dancer, so those

146
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: were just you know, silly, where this is like, you know,

147
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: she's committing to something that is stupid and probably shouldn't

148
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: have been done. It's also like weird that she was

149
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: hosting at all, Like it's always a bad idea when

150
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: you're like a hot young talent and you host an

151
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: award show, Like it didn't work the one time that

152
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: had happened in my lifetime with like James Franco and

153
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Anne Hathaway. I would not compar to that. I don't know,

154
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: like no, but just in terms of a career decision,

155
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: I would. I actually probably like defend this a bit

156
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: more than like some of the people on the internet

157
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: like yeah, I was it was pretty dumb, but also like, yeah,

158
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: I grew up with Billy Crystal, which was real bad,

159
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: really bad. And then also I think what also did

160
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: this the bit no service was the way it was

161
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: edited because like she's singing and like I guess I'll

162
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: call it rapping, but rapping like all of these names,

163
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: and they do the Awards show thing where they cut

164
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: to that actor to get their reaction, but she's listing

165
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: them off so quickly. They're having a cut to people

166
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: so fast. It's like the whole thing just felt really jarring. Yeah,

167
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the cringiest part of it is

168
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: the part that isn't being shared online as much, which

169
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: is at the end of like rattling off all the

170
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: actors and directors names, they start singing, we are family.

171
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you got that far in the

172
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: I didn't know. Yeah, Like that seems like, okay, I

173
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: don't know if I can defend this anymore. Yeah, but

174
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: the rest of it was just I don't know them. Also,

175
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: the BAFTAs through Ariana Debos and her team under the

176
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: bus and said it was their idea and not the bathtub,

177
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: which I always like the producers of award shows feel

178
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: like they need to get over themselves. I think just

179
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: generally they should be like, yeah, it's stupid, but it's

180
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: an award show, and like protect their talent. But this

181
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: reminds me of like when the Grammy's through Frank Ocean

182
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: under the bus and we're like, he doesn't cooperate with

183
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: our vision. Like the Grammys award producers are like very

184
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: self serious and like take their craft of award show

185
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: production like very seriously, and that just just be like, yeah,

186
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: we're we do a stupid thing and this one didn't land,

187
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: but we'll try try again next year. I guess our idea. Yeah,

188
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: it's so silly like that. The other thing is like

189
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: I watch all the you know, like I watched the

190
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Oscars and stuff, and it's there's so many goofy bits

191
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: that don't land. It's like, this is not even the

192
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: worst the bunch. Yeah, as super producer Brian put A,

193
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: trade shows are supposed to be cringe and that's what

194
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: these all are. Whether they want to be like dressed

195
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: up as like Hollywood's Night of Bright Stars or you know,

196
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: the night that Hollywood Stars shine the brightest. It's just

197
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: people who work in the same industry awarding each other.

198
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, and you know what, that performance

199
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: got everybody talking about the BAFTAs, which I can't remember

200
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: the last time that four D chess is what you're

201
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: talking about, baptis the thing that you're so eager to

202
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: get away from you that's called four D chess. And

203
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: it's the only reason I've ever watched the BAFTAs other

204
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: than that, one. I think it was a Kanye performance

205
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: with the Flamethrowers. It was pretty dope. But yeah, anyways,

206
00:12:47,840 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. And

207
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: we're back. And so there's a lot of wild weather happening. Tornado,

208
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: winter storm on the East Coast in New York, New

209
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: Jersey this week. Those aren't supposed to happen near one another.

210
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Strange weather coming to California. So I don't know, just

211
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: weird times. It's crazy. I heard two women on the

212
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: bus the other day and one of them was like, oh,

213
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: he has like climate change. Oh so crazy. We've never

214
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: haven't we don't have spring anymore, Like, we don't have

215
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: we don't have spring or proper winters. And she was like,

216
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: and we haven't since the seventies And I was like, what,

217
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: I've never experienced a real spring in my life. Yeah

218
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: yeah that Oh man, spring used to be amazing. Man,

219
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: you just yeah, yeah, I missed it. Yeah. And finally

220
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: The Bachelor finally caught COVID. We've been waiting for it

221
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: to happen for a while. Apparently the Bachelor like has

222
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: to basically create an NBA bubble, like the what the

223
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: NBA did with the bubble, like they just do that

224
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: every season to try and prevent a COVID outbreak. But

225
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Zach tested positive for COVID, forcing you know, just a

226
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of awkward, you know, a rose ceremony the iPad,

227
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: I believe, or a virtual cocktail party via iPad. I

228
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: don't watch the fucking Bachelor, you guys, but it's in

229
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: case that isn't obvious. But do you watch The Bachelor?

230
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Jam No, no, I've seen it, but I don't watch regularly.

231
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: I think the like bubble, like NBA bubble thing they

232
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: did like when COVID started, because they were like, you know,

233
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: like everything's shutting down, like whole industries are collapsing, like

234
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: healthcare workers are exhausted. We really need to like pare

235
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: down and make sure we get the Bachelor made, because yeah,

236
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: the world will grind to a halt if if the

237
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: Bachelor stopped. So that's when they and they were right,

238
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: we needed that ship, we needed that, we needed the

239
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: last dance, we needed Tiger King. Yeah. So okay, so

240
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: apparently this one, yeah was the ahead them in the

241
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Bahamas London, so they're they're just traveling all over the

242
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: place and caught covid Like, uh, like one is want

243
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: to do if traveling all over the place. Yeah, it

244
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: seemed kind of inevitable, but and it I guess I

245
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: don't know how these production schedules work. Like you would

246
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: think they could just wait till he didn't have covid

247
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: R to finish it, but instead there Yeah, they did

248
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: it all virtually. They had like a Zoom Rose ceremony,

249
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: the Zoom Rose Ceremony. Actually, Super producer Brian is pointing

250
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: out that because like the end of The Bachelor announces

251
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: the next bachelorette, and it's sort of this inextricable cycle,

252
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: like you you can't delay it. You would have to

253
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: like actually stop the calendar like you were just the

254
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: date would be the same for like a couple of

255
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. If you just delayed The Bachelor,

256
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: like the actual calendar, all of the dates that we're

257
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: working with, they would just stop it on February twenty

258
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: first until they were able to make new episodes. That

259
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, so it's just a never ending chain

260
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: of The Bachelor. It's like, we don't recognize this, but Christmas,

261
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and New Year's are all determined by when the

262
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: Bachelor comes out and as a finale that explains why

263
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: I buy all of my family roses single roses for

264
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: Chris Ross. All right, well, we're all hoping Zach feels

265
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: better even though he caught COVID probably like were or

266
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: five months ago now or I don't know how long

267
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: it takes them to turn this shit around, but I

268
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: don't know. All right, Thank you, jam Where can people

00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: this Tuesday, February twenty First, we are back tomorrow with
