Speaker 1: From Los Angeles and moments.
Speaker 2: One and only word, famous Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1: Why, Hello, everybody, Welcome to DPHP. I'm Booker, he is Perez.
Speaker 1: What is doing well?
Speaker 3: I appreciate every single person listening to today's super episode
Speaker 3: of the PHP. We're of course talking all things super Bowl,
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Usher, Post Malone, and more, plus some
Speaker 3: personal insights and moments that happened with me over the
Speaker 3: last few days here in Las Vegas, host city for
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. A few people on the Patreon wanted
Speaker 3: to ask about the poker tournament I was in and
Speaker 3: how I did, and I'm honestly shocked.
Speaker 4: I did better than I thought I.
Speaker 1: Would, better than I I thought you would.
Speaker 3: There were seventy six people in the tournament. And my
Speaker 3: problem is I took Booker's fucking advice. He strained me
Speaker 3: in the wrong direction, didn't He said to play a
Speaker 3: conservative and I did it too conservative?
Speaker 1: Well, I said, to a point, and he was texting
Speaker 1: me during it, and I told him, I said, the
Speaker 1: blinds are going to increase, and you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get aggressive soon because once those blinds go up, you
Speaker 1: got to find a hand that you could win. This
Speaker 1: is when they start clearing people out, and it's exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. But you were playing against probably pros at
Speaker 1: this point. I mean, people were actually really good at
Speaker 1: playing cards. You did very well by not going out
Speaker 1: on the first table. On the first three hands, you
Speaker 1: did great.
Speaker 3: I think my problem is I should have been more
Speaker 3: aggressive earlier with hands that I knew I was gonna win,
Speaker 3: where I like had.
Speaker 4: Three of a kind.
Speaker 1: Yes, you should have for three of a guy.
Speaker 3: I know I should have put all my money in
Speaker 3: or not all, but like I should have put more
Speaker 3: than I did. I was still a little too conservative
Speaker 3: because my mom was like, I just want to come
Speaker 3: in ninth. I want to come in ninth because I
Speaker 3: come in ninth, I can win some money.
Speaker 1: The Nuby is not going to come in ninth. I
Speaker 1: told you that to begin with.
Speaker 3: Well, there were seventy six people that competed, and I
Speaker 3: lost somewhere in the fifties range, and three other people
Speaker 3: in my table went out before me. So I was
Speaker 3: pretty happy. You know, I think I did well.
Speaker 1: I think you did very well. But you were living
Speaker 1: in the clouds if you thought that you were going
Speaker 1: to get to the final table. You were not going.
Speaker 4: I thought I would. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was like, the odds are like one in seven something.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not awful odds.
Speaker 1: Those are not the odds.
Speaker 4: They're not the odds.
Speaker 1: They're not the odds. When you don't know how to
Speaker 1: play cards, you know you took one lesson. No one
Speaker 1: takes one lesson. It's like taking one lesson and saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to fly the space shuttle. Okay, there's a
Speaker 1: lot to cards.
Speaker 3: My big takeaway for me is that betting is very important. Anyways,
Speaker 3: there I had some run ins with people. Yeah, to
Speaker 3: never believe this. So I go to the bathroom during
Speaker 3: a break, and I see this guy and I don't
Speaker 3: know whatever. He looks very familiar, but I don't put
Speaker 3: two and two together. So I'm in the bathroom and
Speaker 3: then I go I go pee, and then I go
Speaker 3: back to my table. And as I'm walking back to
Speaker 3: the table, the same guy stops me and said, hey, Perez,
Speaker 3: it's Mark Demilio. Just wanted to introduce myself. That's the
Speaker 3: father of that influence, Oh, Charlie.
Speaker 4: Of them, I guess, but yeah, both of them, right,
Speaker 4: And I'm sure you remember, But if not, I definitely
Speaker 4: think a lot of our listeners remember that very embarrassing
Speaker 4: cringe video I posted in December of twenty twenty when
Speaker 4: I was kicked off TikTok for the first time.
Speaker 3: I was crying and literally begging Charlie d'milio and her
Speaker 3: father for help.
Speaker 4: So I don't like, why why did this guy even
Speaker 4: say hello to me? Like?
Speaker 3: What was the point? I'm thinking? Is this a power move?
Speaker 3: He was a I DM him, I messaged him, I
Speaker 3: publicly pleaded with him, and he ghosted me, ignored me.
Speaker 4: Why even say hello to me?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think most of us that you couldn't
Speaker 1: have been serious with all your crying and oh I
Speaker 1: was very serious, I know, because you're a mental patient.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure that he did not believe that you
Speaker 1: were as nuts as you were at that point, especially
Speaker 1: with something so stupid and silly. So I don't blame
Speaker 1: him for staying away from you with a ten foot
Speaker 1: poll on that. I would have too. I would have
Speaker 1: laughed and said, this is a bit.
Speaker 4: A bit, I was asking for help. What is there
Speaker 4: a bit with.
Speaker 1: About getting back on TikTok.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was important. It still is Okay. Anyways, I
Speaker 4: think that was like either to like, I think it
Speaker 4: was like a power move, you think. I think, so
Speaker 4: it's just a.
Speaker 1: Guy savvy enough to make a power and what's the move? Like,
Speaker 1: what's he getting out of it? He's like, Oh, whatever,
Speaker 1: let's move on. There's so much to talk.
Speaker 4: Anyways, it rubbed me the wrong way.
Speaker 3: Also, this influencer Bryce Hall came up to me and
Speaker 3: he's popular with a certain demographic and he just wanted
Speaker 3: me to know he's a good guy. Yeah, a good
Speaker 3: guy that gets into fights all the time.
Speaker 4: Time. He's like, what am I supposed to do if
Speaker 4: somebody comes up and pushes me? I'm like, walk away, dude.
Speaker 4: So that was interesting walk away.
Speaker 3: I also went to this event at Durango Casino Durango
Speaker 3: Resort here in.
Speaker 4: Vegas called Power Slap from Dana White. Oh my God
Speaker 4: of UFC, and it's literally when it sounds, it's men
Speaker 4: and women slapping the life out of each other. And
Speaker 4: I had the best time.
Speaker 1: You did.
Speaker 4: It was so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's too violent for me, Oh it was. It's hard
Speaker 1: to watch the videos of it, like watching it in
Speaker 1: person must have been. Does it make you feel squirmy
Speaker 1: and stuff when you're on.
Speaker 4: I loved it. I was like, hit him, hit him,
Speaker 4: knock him out, hit them harder, Like one guy started
Speaker 4: bleeding and everything, and sure, I'm like, how do their
Speaker 4: teeth not fall out? Like I don't know, it's just
Speaker 4: all insane, But I loved it, had so much fun.
Speaker 3: And I also made it to this uber one party
Speaker 3: where Post Malone performed, and I guess this will be
Speaker 3: a good segue to just start talking about the super
Speaker 3: Bowl because we'll talk Post Malone at that party and
Speaker 3: his pre game performance.
Speaker 1: He kind of started off the whole thing on TV,
Speaker 1: the first great moment of the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Post performed, and yes he uses auto tune
Speaker 3: when performing, and god, he made so much money because
Speaker 3: it was to track. He did not have a band
Speaker 3: with him, so he pocketed that entire check.
Speaker 4: But he was just so effusive.
Speaker 3: I guess it's the good word, like just radiating good
Speaker 3: vibes and like I had never seen him perform before.
Speaker 3: And actually what really sealed it afterwards for me was
Speaker 3: when he was done performing, he literally had his sound
Speaker 3: guy come take off his mic pack and ears and
Speaker 3: he went out into the audience and started taking.
Speaker 4: Photos and with everybody. Yeah, fucking love him. I love him.
Speaker 4: I'm like the biggest post.
Speaker 3: Malone fan now, and even more so after watching his
Speaker 3: super Bowl performance, because yes, he also used auto tune
Speaker 3: during his super Bowl performance, but I think it was
Speaker 3: very minimal.
Speaker 4: I don't think it was a lot of auto tune.
Speaker 1: No, he does live performances, like if you remember Back
Speaker 1: of the Pandemic when they did the entire Nirvana performance,
Speaker 1: that was amazing. There was no autotune. He was just
Speaker 1: playing in a band.
Speaker 4: He's good, you know, because I always thought that like
Speaker 4: he would sound like crap without auto tune.
Speaker 3: And it was nice to hear him real, so to speak.
Speaker 3: And I loved he totally transformed that traditional song.
Speaker 4: I loved it. It was a real highlight. I actually
Speaker 4: this might shock you enjoyed him more than Riba.
Speaker 1: There's nothing shocking about that. Riba was so boring. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's okay for some people to
Speaker 1: go down as a non memorable performance. Like you took
Speaker 1: the whatever the press from it. You didn't embarrass yourself.
Speaker 1: You got the cloud to being a part of a
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But it was just so boring.
Speaker 4: No, but you know, but I'll take it.
Speaker 3: I'll take it because better to have a boring national
Speaker 3: anthem than a Fergie one, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Did Fergy suck? I don't recall. I don't remember that.
Speaker 4: Oh I got remember.
Speaker 3: I think it was like some basketball game, and she
Speaker 3: did like a jazz interpretation.
Speaker 4: Of the national anthem.
Speaker 1: And the thing is she can sing to really sing
Speaker 1: her face off. She just tried to do something different.
Speaker 1: It's just go out there and sing the dumb song.
Speaker 1: No one's there to hear you sing the song. They're
Speaker 1: there for the damn game.
Speaker 3: The more I think about it, how they are really,
Speaker 3: I guess not bad, but like a wrong choice national anthem.
Speaker 3: It's not the worst thing ever, because, like I think
Speaker 3: that Fergie national anthem, now that we still talk about it,
Speaker 3: we still remember it.
Speaker 4: That's fucking cool.
Speaker 1: It's the bad that everyone remembers. It's like Roseanne bar
Speaker 1: at the Cubs game doing take me out to the ballgame,
Speaker 1: and you know, everybody still remembers that and talks about it.
Speaker 1: It was horrible, but that's kind of what you want.
Speaker 1: You go out there, unless you're a powerhouse like Whitney,
Speaker 1: who did some sort of thing that will never forget. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's hard to do that. So if you're not going
Speaker 1: to do that, like you said, don't pull a Fergie,
Speaker 1: just go out there and sing your song. But post Malone,
Speaker 1: no pressure. You know, he was pre game and kind
Speaker 1: of just started it off. You were sitting down and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is cool, and it's like you said,
Speaker 1: he just radiates that thing. He should look into a
Speaker 1: couple more tattoos, though, really should There's a couple pieces
Speaker 1: of real estate on his face. He could still tackle.
Speaker 4: And Andre Day was fabulous as well.
Speaker 3: And before we get to all the good stuff, Las Vegas, man,
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a better city in the world
Speaker 3: to throw events of this scale.
Speaker 1: It should be there every year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great it should be.
Speaker 1: I almost wish they didn't put a team there and
Speaker 1: they would have just built a stadium and like had
Speaker 1: a rotating game every week in that stadium, like let's
Speaker 1: say the Chiefs and whomever. The forty nine ers, fine,
Speaker 1: you know, one game every week. Should just be in
Speaker 1: Vegas for your fan base to go there number one
Speaker 1: and everything was perfect. It's just like everybody there knew
Speaker 1: what they were doing. They do that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, that's their lives events and god it came
Speaker 1: off without a hitch.
Speaker 4: Although I like that we have the Raiders. Hopefully Raiders
Speaker 4: do better next season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, before we get to Usher, and I
Speaker 3: know you all want us to, we have to talk
Speaker 3: about the Taylor Swift show of it all.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even before Taylor got there over.
Speaker 3: We don't even need that guy, the Jack Kid or
Speaker 3: whatever his name is, that's in college that Taylor's threatening
Speaker 3: to sue because over six thousand people were tracking Taylor's
Speaker 3: jet from Japan to the United States. Yes, apparently you
Speaker 3: can see the number of people tracking the jet.
Speaker 1: That's pretty wild.
Speaker 4: She gave the Jets some like cute nickname or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like the.
Speaker 4: Football era, I think.
Speaker 3: But she got a lot of criticism even before leaving
Speaker 3: Japan because she was not going to miss the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: She was not risking anything. She had her private plane
Speaker 3: and a backup on standby in case anything happened, So.
Speaker 4: They had to fly two private planes to her.
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, she had two private planes flown to where
Speaker 3: she was in Japan in case something happened with the
Speaker 3: first one. Thankfully, she made it to La on time,
Speaker 3: flew out to Vegas Sunday morning, arrived at Allegiant Stadium
Speaker 3: with her posse, including Blake Lively, her mother, her father,
Speaker 3: and Ice Spice, who, in her own little way kind
Speaker 3: of also stole the show because I loved watching all
Speaker 3: of the cutaways. Of course, there was a camera dedicated
Speaker 3: just to Taylor and her suite, and it seems like
Speaker 3: Ice Spice has no idea how football is played, because
Speaker 3: like everybody was explaining to her what was happening and
Speaker 3: the rules of football.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I hate that. I hate when
Speaker 1: you're sitting there trying to watch a game and you
Speaker 1: gotta explain every goddamn thing that's happened.
Speaker 4: I mean, have you never watched football? Like I understand football?
Speaker 4: And I'm not like a pro.
Speaker 1: Yesterday she had no idea. I was trying to explain
Speaker 1: first downs, those touchbacks, like just trying to explain the game.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand the game.
Speaker 3: My eleven year old son almost my son turns eleven
Speaker 3: later this week, he kind.
Speaker 4: Of understands it. I love it. You just pick things up.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you watch a few games, you got it.
Speaker 4: You know. I loved watching Taylor.
Speaker 3: We got so many memes from her that night, from
Speaker 3: the moment that she was put on the JumboTron and
Speaker 3: she was playing along to the Taylor Swift drinking game.
Speaker 3: Every time they showed her, she would take a drink.
Speaker 1: I love when she slammed the one down. That's the
Speaker 1: one meme I saw, which I thought was great.
Speaker 3: That was good one, but then all of the other ones,
Speaker 3: and like the photos of her face looking all stressed
Speaker 3: and tense because it was a real close game it
Speaker 3: went into overtime.
Speaker 4: It was exciting. I got I got nerve. I'm like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, I can't handle the anxiety of this all.
Speaker 1: San Francisco missed an extra point to lose the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: That is just unbelievable. It is the most gimme score.
Speaker 1: I bet the percentage of the regular season of extra
Speaker 1: points made. I bet it's higher than ninety five percent,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And to have one block.
Speaker 1: As soon as it happened, I looked over to everybody
Speaker 1: and I said, that point will decide this game.
Speaker 3: Well, thank god I was listening to the commentators because
Speaker 3: when I understand football, but then the rules and overtime
Speaker 3: were different.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm like, oh my god, this is stressful,
Speaker 4: even more stressful because the overtime rules are different, like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, oh my god.
Speaker 3: But it was a great game, and thankfully for Taylor Swift,
Speaker 3: the Chiefs won. I was rooting for the forty nine
Speaker 3: ers just because I like the underdog.
Speaker 1: Chiefs were the underdog, but they had they.
Speaker 4: Won last year and they've won so many times.
Speaker 1: It was weird to me to pick them as the underdog,
Speaker 1: you know. And I guess it was only two points
Speaker 1: or two and a half points. But it's Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: He's twenty eight. He's on pace to wipe the floor
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady, who's been the guy that they call
Speaker 1: the all time greatest three super Bowls out of the
Speaker 1: last five and be the MVP and three of them.
Speaker 1: How do you think that he's not gonna win?
Speaker 3: Tailor's boyfriend was asked last night after their win, you
Speaker 3: know his plans for the next season and if he's
Speaker 3: going to retire, and he's like, hell no, I want
Speaker 3: that three.
Speaker 1: P that's never happened before.
Speaker 4: That could be the coolest I know.
Speaker 3: I listened to the commentators say that I was paying
Speaker 3: attention Okay, anyways, did you just watch it home?
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, I was so busy. Oh my god, I
Speaker 4: was posting so much.
Speaker 3: I loved seeing Taylor and Travis embrace and kiss. And
Speaker 3: there's I don't know, there's a lot of Tailor Swift
Speaker 3: haters out there. As much as she has lovers.
Speaker 4: There are a lot of.
Speaker 3: Haters and suck on your hateration. Okay, I celebrate them.
Speaker 3: They made me happy.
Speaker 4: Usher. Here are my thoughts. I like Usher.
Speaker 3: He's iconic, He's been around for fucking thirty years. He
Speaker 3: has so many hits. Part of me doesn't understand why
Speaker 3: some people were underwhelmed with him as a choice. There's
Speaker 3: been so many instances of quote legacy artists performing at
Speaker 3: the super Bowl that haven't been quote relevant per se, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: he hasn't had a hit in a while, but Prince
Speaker 3: have a hit recently when he performed at the super Bowl. No,
Speaker 3: did you two have a hit recently when he performed
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. No, they're fucking icons. They're fucking cool.
Speaker 3: And if I had to grade it from F to
Speaker 3: A plus, I'd give it a solid B plus, almost
Speaker 3: a minus.
Speaker 1: Here's why I think I'd give the exact same grade
Speaker 1: by the.
Speaker 3: Way, Okay, I was really underwhelmed with the beginning. I
Speaker 3: love pomp and circumstance and build up and anticipation, and
Speaker 3: it just started with him sitting down and that's also
Speaker 3: a little low energy, like Michael Jackson would not be
Speaker 3: sitting down to open the Super Bowl like he was
Speaker 3: at the top there anyways. And then for me, this
Speaker 3: is just opinion and personal preferences. It kind of took
Speaker 3: me out of it. I didn't like seeing him open
Speaker 3: his segment performing on the turf. They couldn't build a
Speaker 3: walkway a runway, and they couldn't build a stage here,
Speaker 3: like what is this?
Speaker 4: I didn't like it.
Speaker 3: And the biggest problem for me with the opening was
Speaker 3: it felt too busy. There was so much going on
Speaker 3: to the point where it.
Speaker 1: Was distracting press so down a concert. It's a halftime
Speaker 1: show at a football killt I get you.
Speaker 4: It needed focus.
Speaker 3: After that, when Alicia Keys came on and he peeled
Speaker 3: away all of the other people, that's when things just
Speaker 3: really honed in and became awesome. And I was a
Speaker 3: little worried for Alicia at first because that first note
Speaker 3: she hit was a bum one?
Speaker 1: Was it? I didn't catch that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you watched the clip again that she
Speaker 3: started off like real flat, like bad, like aw but
Speaker 3: then she corrected herself. It might have just been a
Speaker 3: sound issue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she probably can't hear it. Yeah, yeah, because it's
Speaker 1: a football game, it's not a concert. I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: not really put together for that. But she took the
Speaker 1: performance to the next level. That's when everything took off exactly.
Speaker 3: That that was the point, you know, because then it
Speaker 3: was like not about Usher and one hundred people. And
Speaker 3: also I'm tired of the marching bands at the super Bowl, Like,
Speaker 3: can can we be a little more creative people?
Speaker 1: I think it's just trying to fill up that space,
Speaker 1: trying to fill up that floor.
Speaker 3: My favorite parts of the Usher show were when he
Speaker 3: was by himself. So then after Alisha, it was awesome.
Speaker 3: Everything was great for me. I loved all the guests.
Speaker 3: I loved her, loved.
Speaker 4: Singing my old pal will I Am and Little John,
Speaker 4: and I loved that Little John got to sing a
Speaker 4: little bit of one of his solo songs.
Speaker 1: Little John was the best part. That's when that was
Speaker 1: very Vegas and when bothers when he was out there.
Speaker 4: Definitely a highlight and then all of this, I was
Speaker 4: like so feeling and loving it. He ended it the
Speaker 4: same way he began it. The ending was a little
Speaker 4: bit of a dud. I'm like, oh, that's it. That's
Speaker 4: the ending.
Speaker 3: Like I love a dramatic ending too, Like when Madonna
Speaker 3: performed and she fell off and like went into the
Speaker 3: abyss Like that was a big diva moment.
Speaker 1: Wasn't God got like thrown up in the air, Yeah,
Speaker 1: off of something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love all that shit. Like he just kind
Speaker 4: of like it just kind of ended.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But like I said, overall B plus, maybe even
Speaker 3: a minus, thoroughly enjoyable.
Speaker 1: He's amazing, to be honest, I thought it was a
Speaker 1: little long. I am there for football, and the halftime
Speaker 1: was far too long, and you got a dogfight of
Speaker 1: a great game going, and I'm like, this just feels
Speaker 1: too minutes too long. And it's funny. They gave him
Speaker 1: two minutes more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said that on the Patreon on Thursday. They
Speaker 3: gave him more time than any other halftime show performer before,
Speaker 3: so he performed for fifteen minutes instead of the usual thirteen.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it felt like thirty though, And I just
Speaker 1: didn't feel like a lot of times he didn't get
Speaker 1: into the meat of all of the songs for long enough.
Speaker 1: And I get that it's your greatest hits real, but
Speaker 1: every song I just kind of I wish you could
Speaker 1: get to the hook quicker. Like I said, it's a
Speaker 1: fucking football game.
Speaker 4: I just thought it was good.
Speaker 1: I thought it was really solid. While I look back
Speaker 1: at it as one of the most iconic and best,
Speaker 1: probably not, but it was better than Timberlake.
Speaker 4: It was better than Rihanna last year too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: A highlight for me.
Speaker 3: Also was that Wicked commercial. Very excited for the movie.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't see that.
Speaker 4: Still pissed they're splitting it in two though.
Speaker 3: That's just such a cash grab an unnecessary move.
Speaker 1: The ben Affleck j Loo commercial was pretty funny.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you were talking about how usher,
Speaker 3: you know, it felt like he didn't get to the
Speaker 3: meat and potatoes. And I forget what year it was,
Speaker 3: two or three years ago. Jalo and Shakira.
Speaker 4: Had just six and a half minutes each basically, and
Speaker 4: did more with those six and a half minutes. I
Speaker 4: feel like and.
Speaker 1: I kind of got the feeling that they both felt
Speaker 1: slighted by some small amount of time. They shouldn't. It
Speaker 1: was perfect. They both went out there with ten energy.
Speaker 1: It was a pack great six minutes apiece and I
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. So, you know, next year, I think they
Speaker 1: need to peel it back a little bit because I
Speaker 1: really think it was a little too long. If you're
Speaker 1: there for football, I gotta tell you that game must
Speaker 1: have went four some hours last night. I just could
Speaker 1: not believe how long that game was, just because of
Speaker 1: the halftime.
Speaker 4: Well, it also went into overtime too, but the halftime
Speaker 4: show is a big draw for a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, before we talked about Beyonce, we have to go
Speaker 3: back to Ariana.
Speaker 4: For a second. A little update on her song.
Speaker 3: It did go to number one, but in its third week,
Speaker 3: yes end is at number seventeen on the Hot one
Speaker 3: hundred and projection for this week the Hot one hundred
Speaker 3: should come out later today have it going down even further.
Speaker 4: So like the song is done already.
Speaker 1: I think some songs take six months to take off.
Speaker 1: Some happen immediately. It's a weird way to I don't
Speaker 1: know gauge music.
Speaker 3: Beyonce had a Super Bowl halftime show commercial for Verizon.
Speaker 3: It was cute, funny to see Beyonce try to be humorous. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree, And she surprise released two new songs and
Speaker 3: announced a new album, kind of like Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4: Although I don't know if most people caught that.
Speaker 1: I didn't. Yeah, Kel said that afterwards, she goes, well,
Speaker 1: she announced her new album. I said, when she goes
Speaker 1: at the end of that commercial, I go, oh, that
Speaker 1: didn't print. I thought she was just kind of being
Speaker 1: funny or trying to be funny, like I'll just launch
Speaker 1: a new album. She was saying, she's launching a new album.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, people didn't get it. That's why I'm saying, like
Speaker 3: Taylor at the Grammys, everybody listened and was aware.
Speaker 4: The new album from Beyonce, Act two comes out March
Speaker 4: tw nin so next month, in just six weeks.
Speaker 1: Well, let's just go ahead and say it all win
Speaker 1: Album of the Year next year at the Grammys, because
Speaker 1: jay Z's already shamed the Grammys.
Speaker 3: Well, it might because also she's trying something very different
Speaker 3: for her, and I do believe that Grammys like that
Speaker 3: any like people like seeing others try new things, even
Speaker 3: if it isn't the best. It's a bit of a
Speaker 3: country album, a country inspired country pop country ballad. She
Speaker 3: released two preview songs already last night in conjunction with
Speaker 3: the release. One is called Texas Hold Them, which I
Speaker 3: like it. It's solid.
Speaker 1: Lady Gaga references Texas hold Them in poker face.
Speaker 4: Correct.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not like an break my soul song, you know.
Speaker 3: It's not like an obvious over your head smashed. I
Speaker 3: don't know if this is going to be a hit,
Speaker 3: but I liked it. I enjoyed that one.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard it yet. I'll take a lesson.
Speaker 4: I did enjoy it.
Speaker 3: And then she released another one called sixteen Carriages, which
Speaker 3: is fine. That's more of like a ballad.
Speaker 4: It's fine, it's you know, there's it's like Riba doing
Speaker 4: the national anthem. There's nothing wrong with it. It's not bad.
Speaker 3: But it's not like I'm not excited for the album
Speaker 3: because of that one song. Speaking of musicians, Kanye West
Speaker 3: had a pop up show last night in Vegas, charging
Speaker 3: dumbasses three hundred dollars a ticket to watch him perform,
Speaker 3: and I did not go, thankfully. He also is so
Speaker 3: disrespectful to fellow musicians, and I think the rules, the
Speaker 3: law should change because the music industry somehow has these
Speaker 3: loopholes that allow artists to, I guess, just pay a
Speaker 3: penalty or a fine. You know, like if you release
Speaker 3: a song that has a sample and you don't clear it,
Speaker 3: the worst that will happen is you'll just pay all
Speaker 3: of the money you make from that song to the songwriters.
Speaker 3: And Kanye clearly doesn't give a shit about making money,
Speaker 3: so he's been doing that. He's like, I'm going to
Speaker 3: use whatever sample I want, even if I don't get
Speaker 3: permission from it. On this new album of his. Two
Speaker 3: different people said no to Kanye, and he went.
Speaker 4: Ahead and still used it.
Speaker 3: Ozzy Osbourne refused, Kanye did not grant permission, and Donna
Speaker 3: Summer's husband Bruce Sadano also refused, and both of those
Speaker 3: songs made it onto the new Kanye album.
Speaker 4: Wow. I mean, you're an artist, how would you feel
Speaker 4: if other artists did that to your music? Or like bad?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like permission should matter.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. Lame balls and Ozzy came out and said,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, I did not sign off on this.
Speaker 1: But he also dressed up as Kanye for Halloween.
Speaker 4: He did.
Speaker 1: I think he did. I think it was this year.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, maybe the year before, but he did.
Speaker 1: At some point I saw that online atocracy of it all,
Speaker 1: I'm like, come.
Speaker 4: On, well, it's still his song, you know.
Speaker 1: And by the way, speaking of the Kardashians, did they
Speaker 1: go to the game?
Speaker 4: Well, I was about to get to that.
Speaker 3: Speaking of the Kardashians, I don't think I saw Kim Beer.
Speaker 4: She might have been there, and you know, hiding.
Speaker 1: She wasn't hiding, the NFL was hiding her. Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: was there. Okay, they were not going to put a
Speaker 1: Kardashian on TV for a billion dollars. They weren't gonna
Speaker 1: make it on a TV. That's my guess.
Speaker 4: She might have been there. I'm not sure, but they
Speaker 4: all were in town for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: They probably got paid to go somewhere.
Speaker 3: Even Yeah, Kim was there with Odell Beckham Junior, her
Speaker 3: new man and they're soft launching that relationship. Courtney was
Speaker 3: not here though, she was in Australia with her kids
Speaker 3: because Travis is there with Blink one eighty two, and
Speaker 3: she must have a really good relationship with Scott Dissick
Speaker 3: because I would not let my kids play hooky from
Speaker 3: school to go on tour with Blink one eighty two.
Speaker 1: Aren't they homeschool?
Speaker 4: They go to this one school in the valley. I'm
Speaker 4: not going to say the name, but if you google
Speaker 4: it you can find out. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean they got enough money to take a teacher
Speaker 1: with them.
Speaker 4: I don't know. Enjoy that.
Speaker 1: By the way, So Bieber was in town.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, shit, I forgot to talk about that. Bieber
Speaker 3: was in town, and I'm glad he did not perform
Speaker 3: with us, sure, because he would have sucked. Okay, let's
Speaker 3: be honest.
Speaker 4: How do you know?
Speaker 3: Because first of all, I just knew he wouldn't commit
Speaker 3: to it, because Bieber's the kid that's canceled multiple tours.
Speaker 4: He is lazy, He's.
Speaker 3: Got a lot of issues, and he would not have
Speaker 3: been able or willing or wanting or excited to put
Speaker 3: in all of the rehearsal necessary to do something great
Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl. I feel that, and also maybe
Speaker 3: his nerves or whatever might have gotten the best of him.
Speaker 3: He was in the stadium watching, But I'm thankful he
Speaker 3: did not take part.
Speaker 1: Did they show him because I don't recall seeing him anywhere.
Speaker 4: I know that the NFL did show him on their
Speaker 4: social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see him on the broadcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was watching Cooking exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: I was watching and also listening to and I was working,
Speaker 3: so it's not like I was watching one hundred percent
Speaker 3: the whole time.
Speaker 4: I was listening and watching. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe they showed him, maybe they didn't. He did hit
Speaker 3: up a few parties and is enjoying the famous life
Speaker 3: in Vegas and super Bowl weekend some.
Speaker 4: Non super Bowl stuff.
Speaker 3: I saw these photo that made me so happy of
Speaker 3: convict and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum Jen
Speaker 3: Shaw and fellow convict and fraudster Elizabeth Holmes. The two
Speaker 3: of them are in the same detention facility, the same prison,
Speaker 3: and they're friends.
Speaker 4: And somehow this is loking crazy.
Speaker 3: There are paparazzi photos of them in prison.
Speaker 1: How the hell? Right?
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe a security guard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say a guard is probably allowed to
Speaker 1: have their phone. I'm sure they're probably not allowed to
Speaker 1: take a picture and.
Speaker 4: Way yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Finally, a Patreon supporter
Speaker 4: asked us about that Traders show, and you actually are
Speaker 4: watching it?
Speaker 1: Right? Love it?
Speaker 3: What do you love about it? Is it like Survivor? Like,
Speaker 3: what's the gist of it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's Survivor like set in a house. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, they have Alan Cummings who pretends that
Speaker 1: he's Scottish the whole time. He is very fucking weird.
Speaker 4: No, he is Scottish.
Speaker 1: Well, but he's the he's the house nanny, whatever the
Speaker 1: fuck it is. But he's over acting. He's playing like
Speaker 1: the caretaker. Oh okay, but he's like acting. He's like
Speaker 1: hosting and yet acting at the same time. It's very odd.
Speaker 1: But the whole premise of the show is you have
Speaker 1: these uh you have a group of people are faithfuls, right,
Speaker 1: so they are. I don't know if it starts with
Speaker 1: like twelve people, and then there's a group of people
Speaker 1: that are the traders, and that's three people. Nobody knows
Speaker 1: who anybody is. And if the traders end up at
Speaker 1: the end, if even one trader ends up in the
Speaker 1: whole finale, then they get the money. But if the followers,
Speaker 1: if they get at the end and they figured out
Speaker 1: how to weed everybody out, they get the money. So
Speaker 1: and I may have botched that a little bit because
Speaker 1: I kind of side watching this and that, but every
Speaker 1: time I sit down for twenty minutes for it, it's
Speaker 1: very good. And I was telling Perez, it's all celebrities.
Speaker 1: It's ex reality show people on the show, and I
Speaker 1: don't know who fucking any of them are. There's like
Speaker 1: I knew Ari from The Bachelor, everybody else may as
Speaker 1: well be my neighbor. I have fucking no idea who
Speaker 1: they are. And I was telling President should be on
Speaker 1: the show, and he's like, oh, they didn't want me
Speaker 1: on the show. But I think because you're too big
Speaker 1: right now on the show, so I would have done it.
Speaker 1: You got to understand the show is it's just starting.
Speaker 1: It's the first season. It's trying to get.
Speaker 4: Its leg and I think it's the second season.
Speaker 1: It's the first season to me. I just started watching it.
Speaker 1: So I kind of think as it starts to get
Speaker 1: bigger and more people like me find it and start
Speaker 1: talking about it, they'll need bigger celebrities.
Speaker 5: I e.
Speaker 1: They'll grab you for the show. But you'd be great
Speaker 1: on it. I mean, you'd be fantastic on the show.
Speaker 1: And it's really a fun watch. I enjoy it. I mean,
Speaker 1: Kellen's got it on twenty four hours a day, so
Speaker 1: she's burning through all of them.
Speaker 4: Oh, I would love to do it, but I don't.
Speaker 1: Think you'd be good on me. You'd be very good.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a lot of gamesmanship, which I think
Speaker 1: you'd be very good at, and you really have to
Speaker 1: act a lot of these people. You just like you're watching,
Speaker 1: You're like it's like playing cards. It's like you could
Speaker 1: see the people's tell You're like, that person's definitely a trader.
Speaker 1: I just know by watching.
Speaker 4: I did that on Celebrity Big Brother. There was a part.
Speaker 3: Where I pretended to quit the show and I was
Speaker 3: very convincing and I ended up not quitting the show.
Speaker 1: Right, it's a fun show. If you guys aren't watching it,
Speaker 1: I think maybe Netflix. I don't even know where the
Speaker 1: fuck it is, but it's good.
Speaker 4: Peacock. Is it on Peacock?
Speaker 1: You're right, one hundred percent, it's on Peacock. I saw
Speaker 1: her logging on the other day.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I want to thank a few folks that have signed
Speaker 3: up recently for our Patreon. Thank you for going to
Speaker 3: patreon dot com, slash Perez Hilton and supporting. Thank you,
Speaker 3: Lynn Dees, Caitlin Vaughn, Danielle or Teas, but enjoy the show,
Speaker 3: get a bonus episode, and actually even last night is
Speaker 3: a little thank you for all of our Patreon supporters.
Speaker 3: I did a really brief initial thoughts on the Usher
Speaker 3: halftime show performance, which people enjoyed watching before Booker and
Speaker 3: I talked about it today.
Speaker 1: All Right, here we go.
Speaker 5: Some calls, Hey Perez, Hey Booker, Elvi Jersey calling because
Speaker 5: I have to recommend the greatest night in pop It's
Speaker 5: on Netflix. It's about the making of We Are the
Speaker 5: World where Mine, Ritchie and Michael Jackson and the most famous,
Speaker 5: powerful and actually talented celebrities of the ladies.
Speaker 1: I love her telling it like we don't remember it.
Speaker 1: We saw the video on TV when it happened. Okay,
Speaker 1: we know what it is, but everybody else may not.
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I do too.
Speaker 1: I'm not making fun of her, It's just I'm kind
Speaker 1: of making fun of our age.
Speaker 5: He's got together and wrote a really awesome, powerful song,
Speaker 5: Write Up Your Alley.
Speaker 1: I've heard nothing but great things about it. And they
Speaker 1: talk about Huey Lewis. I saw this one part because
Speaker 1: Huey Lewis's part was supposed to be Prince's part, and
Speaker 1: Sheila E supposedly was brought in just to get Prince there,
Speaker 1: and Chilae has been upset about it for all of
Speaker 1: these years because she felt like she was used by
Speaker 1: Lina Ritchiean. So it's a really fascinating story about how
Speaker 1: Prince couldn't make it and typical Prince, like he's March
Speaker 1: just to his own fucking drum.
Speaker 4: I don't remember. So Prince was not in it.
Speaker 1: Prince wasn't in it. No, Michael was in it.
Speaker 4: Well, I think Prince and Michael Jackson did not get
Speaker 4: along back in the eighties.
Speaker 1: It was like Michael Jackson versus Prince. That's how the
Speaker 1: press always kind of threw it out there. I mean,
Speaker 1: they'd met before, and they'd done things before, and there
Speaker 1: are some stories about that I've heard on podcasts. Maybe
Speaker 1: that was a little exaggerated, but I think everything was
Speaker 1: a competition with those guys back then, with everyone, you know,
Speaker 1: it was all about blowing the other people off of
Speaker 1: the stage. But I could go on forever about a
Speaker 1: lot of that Prince stuff. Bob Dylan was in it,
Speaker 1: and apparently like Bob Dylan was freaking out because he
Speaker 1: didn't know how to sing in the confines of what
Speaker 1: they wanted him to do, and Stevie Wonder supposedly sat
Speaker 1: him down and said, I want you to sing it
Speaker 1: like this, and Stevie Wonder did his Bob Dylan impression,
Speaker 1: and then Bob Dylan mimics what Stevie Wonder did, and
Speaker 1: that's what you hear in the song. So it's it's
Speaker 1: a bunch of little stories like that. I'll get to
Speaker 1: watch the whole thing. I've clearly seen enough clips where
Speaker 1: I can tell you pretty much what it's about. But
Speaker 1: it does look like a fantastic doc.
Speaker 2: Hi Booker High Press. It's Tanya from La I Am
Speaker 2: with Booker.
Speaker 5: I'm so.
Speaker 2: At this point, she's almost, dare I say, inching towards
Speaker 2: overexposure like a Kardashian Like it's too much constant all
Speaker 2: the time. And why does she behave like she's a
Speaker 2: seventeen year old accepting her first grand like, knock it off,
Speaker 2: you're a pro, You've been there before, You've done this before.
Speaker 2: You ignored Selenion, You look ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I don't think she ignored Celie Dial. I think she
Speaker 1: just was overwhelmed by the moment. But I guess to
Speaker 1: her point, it's not her first time in that moment.
Speaker 1: I still would have freaked out that Celi Dion was
Speaker 1: in front of me, but that's just me. But it's
Speaker 1: hard to judge her for that. I still think it's
Speaker 1: funny that Selene was standing there, she didn't know what
Speaker 1: the fact that the one more call.
Speaker 6: Hey, Chris and Bres. My name is David and I'm
Speaker 6: calling from New York. And my comment is in regards
Speaker 6: to what Booker said around from people being kind of
Speaker 6: just viewing Taylorship as he did, which was, Oh, it's
Speaker 6: all about me and me, and that's how most people felt.
Speaker 6: And I actually disagree. I think that.
Speaker 1: Last call wasn't the call to lead into your point
Speaker 1: with but let's continue.
Speaker 6: I agree with Perez Booker, you are not most people.
Speaker 6: You are an industry insider. You've been in the business
Speaker 6: in multiple facets of it, so I think, although you
Speaker 6: might sometimes feel like that your most people, and that's
Speaker 6: maybe what's really helped you in your career. I actually
Speaker 6: think like you have a very critical lens because of
Speaker 6: the amount of industry insider information and knowledge that you have,
Speaker 6: So I actually don't agree that you are most people, and.
Speaker 1: I'll let him continue. And I don't disagree with that
Speaker 1: point either. I am somewhat of an insider and I
Speaker 1: have access that most people will never have. But I
Speaker 1: also can read the tea leaves. I can also read
Speaker 1: the articles that are out there. I can also listen
Speaker 1: to the calls that come in on this show. For
Speaker 1: me not acknowledging their point of view, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing my job. You just heard what I think about
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. I just took up for her for the
Speaker 1: whole thing with Celine die On ten seconds ago. I
Speaker 1: don't think she did anything wrong. I think she was overwhelmed. However,
Speaker 1: I do think it's funny. And I also can see
Speaker 1: how people say, well, it is a little me me
Speaker 1: me like her up there, everybody. My favorite number is thirteen.
Speaker 3: Oh wait wait wait the Chiefs one from the thirteen
Speaker 3: yard line.
Speaker 1: Oh god, stop it. I mean that's another thing, though, Perez.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a grown person constantly telling me
Speaker 1: her favorite number, what's next? Your favorite crayon color? Like,
Speaker 1: come on, what are we fucking nine? You're in your thirties, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's stop with the fucking favorite number. Nonsense.
Speaker 3: Seriously, Miley Cyrus has a favorite number two.
Speaker 1: That's kind of where people think that she was throwing
Speaker 1: a little shade that way, like my favorite number three,
Speaker 1: and I'm in seat three. I mean I think she
Speaker 1: was trolling her a lit a little bit. You know whatever,
Speaker 1: Let's finish this because I like this guy's point of
Speaker 1: views though well.
Speaker 6: And I don't actually think that as most people felt
Speaker 6: that Taylor was making it all about me, me me.
Speaker 6: I think she was just celebrating a huge feat. I
Speaker 6: love the podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah I think she was too, but it did feel
Speaker 1: a little me me me by all the points I
Speaker 1: just made. But whatever, we get a great to disagree.
Speaker 1: I love your call, love your point of view. Let's
Speaker 1: wrap this baby up.
Speaker 3: Thank you all, appreciate you, and hopefully we can see
Speaker 3: some new listeners and supporters.
Speaker 4: At patreon dot com.
Speaker 3: This Thursday for that extra special, extra awesome show.
Speaker 4: Have a great week everybody.
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, take care of yourselves.
