Speaker 1: From Los Angeles and.
Speaker 2: One and only world famous Perez.
Speaker 1: Perez Hilton.
Speaker 2: My friends, Welcome to the php on Booker. That, of
Speaker 2: course is Perez Perez. What's coming up?
Speaker 1: This is gonna be one of our best shows ever,
Speaker 1: and I think we might have too much. So if
Speaker 1: I tease something and we don't have enough time to
Speaker 1: get to it, I'm sorry, but we're gonna try to
Speaker 1: squeeze as much as possible into our show today, including
Speaker 1: some explosive ben Affleck news which might not surprise you.
Speaker 1: Also Blake Lively taking more heat, and she's also doing
Speaker 1: something surprising allegedly talking about someone we haven't in a while,
Speaker 1: which I love. That is Brittany Mahomes, the wife of
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, the NFL quarterback, and some d that she's
Speaker 1: found herself in. Also some Taylor Swift updates, Chapel Roan
Speaker 1: more on her even and a lot of people are
Speaker 1: not loving her over the weekend. I'll explain why Drew
Speaker 1: Barrymore haven't spoken about her in a while either. Zoe Kravitz.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've actually ever talked about Zoe Kravitz
Speaker 1: on the podcast, So excited for newness. Also justin Bieber,
Speaker 1: Britney Spears, Sabrina Carpenter, and Moore. I went to go
Speaker 1: see Boy George over the weekend. A lot of fun.
Speaker 1: They're working on a Boy George movie, so I'm curious
Speaker 1: to see how that turns out. You know, it could
Speaker 1: be Academy Award winning and I almost wanted to tell
Speaker 1: him I want to I could be Boy George.
Speaker 2: They wanted to be successful.
Speaker 1: Hey, I think I'm too old. I'm too old. They
Speaker 1: need somebody in their like late twenties or maybe early thirties.
Speaker 2: Timothy shallimeg will probably be doing that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he'd be amazing. Actually, I would love that. Anyways,
Speaker 1: how was your weekend? How are you good?
Speaker 2: I had a long weekend. I went to Yamava Casino
Speaker 2: to see Sublime. Oh wow that show. So it was yeah,
Speaker 2: great weekend.
Speaker 1: Good times. All right, Well, let's stop wasting time and
Speaker 1: get right to it. According to an explosive new report,
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck already has a new woman in his life.
Speaker 1: And I have so many thoughts about this. First of all,
Speaker 1: you and so many others were, Oh, Jennifer Lopez, She's
Speaker 1: gonna have a new man by next week. Oh, Jennifer Lopez. Well,
Speaker 1: actually it's Ben Affleck who has the new person.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, I don't think he has a new woman. Yes,
Speaker 2: do you think it's a relationship.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to share my thoughts. I actually do
Speaker 1: think it might be a relationship.
Speaker 2: And this guy was on the dating apps before. Okay,
Speaker 2: my bet he's back on them and banging chicks.
Speaker 1: Well, according to the report, he's been spotted with a Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Kick Kennedy, the daughter of RFK Junior. She's thirty six
Speaker 1: years old. Ben's in his early fifties. J Lo's in
Speaker 1: her mid fifties, and she's an actress. Kick Kennedy. She
Speaker 1: also this might be very appealing to him. She does
Speaker 1: have social media, but she barely is on it. In fact,
Speaker 1: I went to check her Instagram and she had not
Speaker 1: posted in over a year. So to him, that's probably
Speaker 1: a huge plus because sure, you know, he's super private,
Speaker 1: hates everything public. And according to the report, this is
Speaker 1: why I think it's more than just stooping and why
Speaker 1: I think you're wrong. According to the New York Post,
Speaker 1: page six, they've been spotted together in public numerous times. Wow,
Speaker 1: if you're just fucking someone, you're doing that privately. But
Speaker 1: if you're going out into the world with someone, that
Speaker 1: tells me two things. It tells me it's more than
Speaker 1: just sex. And it tells me you've been hanging out
Speaker 1: for a while now. And if that's the case, if
Speaker 1: they've been hanging out for a while now, I don't
Speaker 1: know what a while means. It could be a few weeks,
Speaker 1: it could be a few months. It could have been
Speaker 1: during his marriage and they weren't separated yet. With Jennifer Lopez,
Speaker 1: I think this actually explains why j Loo went and
Speaker 1: filed for divorce herself. She found out about Kick Kennedy
Speaker 1: and it was like a kick to her and she
Speaker 1: got real mad and decided, well, shit, I've been trying
Speaker 1: to save my marriage.
Speaker 2: I don't think she's been trying to save her marriage.
Speaker 1: Well fine, okay, fine, maybe not. But she found out
Speaker 1: about this woman.
Speaker 2: That could have been the straw that broke the Campbell's
Speaker 2: back when she found out that, hey, this is going
Speaker 2: to be because she would get the heads up, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, if it's TMZ or whomever reporting, Yeah,
Speaker 2: don't you think for a second that they're not calling
Speaker 2: her camp to tell her what is about to hit
Speaker 2: the fucking wire. So to your point, that very well
Speaker 2: could be true. Also, they could be working on a project.
Speaker 2: Who knows, maybe this girl's going to get into politics.
Speaker 1: But if I mean okay to play and listen, I
Speaker 1: do like to be fair, you know. I take what
Speaker 1: I do very seriously to play Devil's advocate, to be
Speaker 1: the booker for a second, it does raise a red
Speaker 1: flag to me that the page six article about Kick
Speaker 1: Kennedy and Ben Affleck didn't have a lot of details.
Speaker 1: It just said the polo and that's it. And other hotspots. Okay,
Speaker 1: what other hotspots are they spotted at? Where else have
Speaker 1: they been?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: But it could just mean that Kick Kennedy's best friend
Speaker 1: blabbed and didn't know exactly where they had been out to.
Speaker 1: But they did know that they had gone to the
Speaker 1: Polo lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. So I can't
Speaker 1: totally dismiss it. I think it's a fifty fifth It
Speaker 1: could possibly be true, and fifty percent could not be true.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just God so quickly to be
Speaker 2: out even he would think the optics of.
Speaker 1: That, But that's what I'm faking.
Speaker 2: But then again, and I'm not saying they're boning because
Speaker 2: it's that's almost kind of crass. But he likes women,
Speaker 2: he likes to date, he likes to go out with girls.
Speaker 2: He's been on dating, he's on that riot. Would it
Speaker 2: be shocking? No, But dating it seems like a strong word.
Speaker 1: But when you're Ben Affleck, if you're going to date
Speaker 1: somebody or if you're going to hang out for the
Speaker 1: first time, you can do that at your house.
Speaker 2: Now he's not going that. Like I said, when you're
Speaker 2: a dating app person, you don't give up. Fuck you're
Speaker 2: horny and you just want to get laid and you
Speaker 2: want to have sex with other famous people.
Speaker 1: If you just want to get laid, you do that
Speaker 1: at your house.
Speaker 2: Well, no, you still got to go out. You got
Speaker 2: to make the effort. You can't just be like, hey,
Speaker 2: come up and fuck Ben Affleck. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: there's plenty of fucking girls in this town that have
Speaker 2: probably done that already. But I don't know. If she's
Speaker 2: a Kennedy, she sounds like she's probably got something going on.
Speaker 2: And look, I think this is like beyond wild spectrum.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I can't dismiss it.
Speaker 1: I think it's fifty to fifty could possibly be true.
Speaker 1: And actually this is a good question, a good topic
Speaker 1: for women, you know, like if you're on this exclusive
Speaker 1: dating app and you see Ben Affleck and if he
Speaker 1: says I want to meet at my house because I
Speaker 1: don't want to be very public right now, would you
Speaker 1: meet him at his house or would you be worried
Speaker 1: that he just wants to have sex? What would you do?
Speaker 1: I'm so curious. Eight hundred seventy one one one eight five.
Speaker 2: We have regular people listening. He's banging famous hot chicks.
Speaker 1: Well, who cares? There are normal women.
Speaker 2: Too, No, they're not, none of them are. She's a Kennedy,
Speaker 2: She's real close to normal.
Speaker 1: But I know plenty of Quote connected women that are
Speaker 1: not famous that are on Riot Connected.
Speaker 2: How many of our listeners do you believe that are
Speaker 2: on RIA?
Speaker 1: A good amount? Maybe I don't know. Zierra Jesus said
Speaker 1: they were such a negative Nancy.
Speaker 2: It's a website for people that have to be approved
Speaker 2: because they're in the business. How many people do you
Speaker 2: think are in the business listening to our shows?
Speaker 1: A lot? A lot. We have a lot of listeners
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles anyways, they could put themselves in the situation.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious because they would. Also it would also
Speaker 1: explain why he would feel compelled to leave his house,
Speaker 1: like if it was somebody that or.
Speaker 2: Could just be a meeting, or he went out to
Speaker 2: hang out with somebody and some girl walked into the room,
Speaker 2: and you know how this works. That person's instantly dating
Speaker 2: Ben Athletic. That's how this town works. Please, I'm buying
Speaker 2: nothing until I see it with my own two eyes.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm not discounting it. I think, like
Speaker 1: I said, the odds are in my book are fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty.
Speaker 2: Well, the odds are that, yes, he probably is doing
Speaker 2: some stuppen. I think that's a hunderd percent. Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't believe that means he's dating anyone.
Speaker 1: I remember. I think it was early June. Like the
Speaker 1: first outlet to report of trouble between Ben Affleck and
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez that was credible was like I think in
Speaker 1: Touch or Life and Style. But I dismissed them. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is ridiculous, and then they ended up
Speaker 1: being right, So I have to at least consider it.
Speaker 1: And that's what we've done. Speaking of factual information. Though,
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have a new movie coming out.
Speaker 1: He is not acting in it, so it's not technically
Speaker 1: a g Lee Part two. He's one of the producers
Speaker 1: on it. She is acting on it, and she's also,
Speaker 1: in addition to starring in the movie, a producer on it,
Speaker 1: and so is Matt Damon. He's a producer on the
Speaker 1: film too, and it premieres next month at the Toronto
Speaker 1: International Film Festival. Interesting, should she not be professional and
Speaker 1: not show up to the premiere of this movie that
Speaker 1: she's starring in and producing.
Speaker 2: No, she has that job to do. That's a job
Speaker 2: to do and pre existing work you have to do.
Speaker 2: But outside of that, my gripe is, don't be walking
Speaker 2: around the fucking Hamptons with your handbag collection calling the
Speaker 2: paparazzi like everything's fine. That's what I'm saying. Stop doing
Speaker 2: movie premiere. She's supposed to be at movie premiere, so no,
Speaker 2: that's my take.
Speaker 1: All right. Well, it's also been reported that Ben Affleck
Speaker 1: will not be going. No, he's fucking not going, so
Speaker 1: there won't be any awkwardness on the red carpet.
Speaker 2: Matt Damon will handle that one.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I don't get that. Yes, it has
Speaker 1: been reported that Matt Damon is going, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: even need to be there, Like, who cares? We don't
Speaker 1: need him there.
Speaker 2: When you are a producer and those two are, they
Speaker 2: don't want to bomb on their hands. They wanted to succeed.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they wouldn't have signed on for it. I
Speaker 2: guess their names on it. So, like I said, Matt
Speaker 2: Damon will report for.
Speaker 1: Dude he is. Yeah, he's expected to be there. So
Speaker 1: we'll see j Lo with her brave face on doing
Speaker 1: what she does, all right. Also getting a lot of
Speaker 1: attention is the wife of Patrick Mahomes, Brittney Mahomes. I
Speaker 1: don't want to speculate. I don't know anything about her beliefs,
Speaker 1: but I will just share what we know. There was
Speaker 1: a post on Instagram about Donald Trump's agenda. I couldn't
Speaker 1: see it originally because Donald Trump true story, true story
Speaker 1: before he became president. Donald Trump blocked me on Instagram. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: thank you so. Brittany Mahomes liked this Trump post and
Speaker 1: a lot of Taylor Swift fans noticed and they were
Speaker 1: roasting her for it, you know, like how could Taylor
Speaker 1: be friends with this Trumper like instantly assuming that she
Speaker 1: likes Trump. I mean, it's not a big leap to
Speaker 1: assume that she might like or support Trump. She did
Speaker 1: like a post of his agenda of what he wants
Speaker 1: to do and support, so I don't give a fuck
Speaker 1: if she likes that. I also don't you know. Also,
Speaker 1: I'm a weird person, Like I'll like almost every single
Speaker 1: post on my feed. It doesn't necessarily mean that I
Speaker 1: like what they're saying.
Speaker 2: And I wonder how many times I've done the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And one of the things I love the most
Speaker 1: about Taylor Swift is she's been doing this for about
Speaker 1: twenty years and she's pretty loyal, although she's had falling
Speaker 1: outs of people, so she's not the most loyal and
Speaker 1: it happens people have falling outs.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, she could have been done wrong.
Speaker 1: Is no church or yeat. So, But if she's friends
Speaker 1: with somebody and or likes somebody, it doesn't matter to
Speaker 1: her if that person is not liked by the general public.
Speaker 2: Because the general public cannot stand burtnany Mahomes. Really, yes,
Speaker 2: people do not like her. She's super annoying. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that football fans can't stand her, and I have
Speaker 2: a feeling a lot of Taylor Swift fans can't stand her.
Speaker 1: Oh well. Over the weekend, Taylor through a big, star
Speaker 1: studded party at her Rhode Island mega mansion. Travis Kelcey
Speaker 1: was there as well, so as a lot of famous folks,
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about even more in a second, but
Speaker 1: also there were Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. Right after everything
Speaker 1: that happened, you know, you know what the fuck was
Speaker 1: Taylor gonna do? Uninvite them? No, you can't do that.
Speaker 1: Liking a tweet an Instagram post? Yeah, no, whatever, I
Speaker 1: was not bothered that she liked that. I've said this before,
Speaker 1: like after making it through twenty seventeen through twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: you know, those four years that Donald Trump was in office,
Speaker 1: I've realized it all doesn't matter as much as I
Speaker 1: think it does. I mean, it still matters, it does matter,
Speaker 1: but we'll get through whatever we have to get through.
Speaker 2: Democracy wasn't at playback then now it is. I mean,
Speaker 2: what read Project twenty twenty five. He's got the Supreme
Speaker 2: Court justices that makes the president immune from anything. The
Speaker 2: president can just say this is the law, and now
Speaker 2: I have the votes, I can do whatever I want. So, no,
Speaker 2: it is a lot different now your vote is a
Speaker 2: lot different than it was back in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 2: I agree with you. It used to be like, eh,
Speaker 2: so what somebody different's going to run the country. This
Speaker 2: country's going to look a lot fucking different if he wins.
Speaker 1: Well, he said that he's not affiliated with that.
Speaker 2: Yes, he is affiliated with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I welcome all of our listeners.
Speaker 2: On welcoming anyone. I just don't want anybody to be
Speaker 2: disillusioned by what's being put in front of you. Democracy
Speaker 2: is literally at stake. Your rights are literally at stake.
Speaker 2: You want to have somebody telling you what you can
Speaker 2: do with your body?
Speaker 1: Cool?
Speaker 2: Vote for him?
Speaker 1: I'm not nor am I all right? Also at Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift's house over the weekend was Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 1: And just like Brittany Mahomes, you know, Blake Lively is
Speaker 1: not having a good month of August. In fact, she's
Speaker 1: having a worse month of August than Brittany Mahomes. And
Speaker 1: despite a lot of people, maybe even the majority of
Speaker 1: social media not being on Blake Lively's side, Taylor still
Speaker 1: said come to my party. I want you there. So
Speaker 1: she and Ryan Reynolds were up in Rhode Island and
Speaker 1: having a good time. And and I love that Taylor
Speaker 1: doesn't give a fuck. She's friends with who she wants
Speaker 1: to be with. And they were there. And speaking of
Speaker 1: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, there's this one story that's
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of legs, which I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: It was a story that originated from that dou mois Oh.
Speaker 2: I already don't believe it, but it's a.
Speaker 1: Lot of people are talking about it. Apparently there have
Speaker 1: been sightings or gossip or rumor that Blake Lively and
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds are moving to Charlotte, North Carolina to get
Speaker 1: away from Hollywood. But they don't even fucking live in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, first of all. And secondly, they live in
Speaker 1: like somewhere in secluded New York, like not New York City,
Speaker 1: but like an hour drive or two hour drives. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly how long it is, so like they're
Speaker 1: already living that kind of life. Why would they move again?
Speaker 2: Weather Probably Charlotte's great I love Charlotte, great city.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if that's the reason. Sure, right,
Speaker 1: fine weather.
Speaker 2: But weather, that's my guess. Winter sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Charlotte, North Carolina still gets cold too.
Speaker 2: Doesn't get that cold still the South. I lived in
Speaker 2: Martle Beach, so it's snow and too often in Charlotte.
Speaker 1: All Right, Well it's a possibility. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I believe it. There we go, just sharing that. Zoe Kravitz.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this because I don't think maybe in
Speaker 1: passing we might have mentioned her, We might have perhaps
Speaker 1: just mentioned she got engaged to Channing Tatum.
Speaker 2: Well, there's never been anything really sticky about her.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, this is interesting because it's not even about her.
Speaker 1: It's about her mother, Lisa Bonet. Old people remember her
Speaker 1: because she was a popular TV actress in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties. She was in The Cosby Show and a
Speaker 1: Different World, and she was an IT girl in her era.
Speaker 2: To me, she's the hottest girl on the planet. When
Speaker 2: I was a kid, I was literally obsessed with Lisa Bonett.
Speaker 2: She was like my first love, and then my second
Speaker 2: love I think was Sydney Crawford.
Speaker 1: So Zoe Kravitz just came out with new movie. It's
Speaker 1: called Don't Blink Twice, and she co wrote it I believe,
Speaker 1: or might have written it entirely by herself. But she
Speaker 1: wrote it and directed the movie Big Deal right, and
Speaker 1: her fiance Channing Tatum stars in the film. Zoe's dad,
Speaker 1: Lenny Kravitz, was there for the premiere and her mother
Speaker 1: was not got the premiere. That's a big red flag
Speaker 1: to me. I understand. I believe she lives in Hawaii
Speaker 1: now and the premiere was in Los Angeles. But I
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. And I know she has younger
Speaker 1: children with Jason Momoa. Get a babysitter or bring the
Speaker 1: kids along, But I'm not missing my daughter's big premiere.
Speaker 2: What was there a reasoning?
Speaker 1: Not that I've heard, no, So.
Speaker 2: Maybe she didn't want it to come, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: there was some reason.
Speaker 1: Lenny Kravitz was there, her dad was there. I think
Speaker 1: that's weird. If that were my daughter, I would be
Speaker 1: there personally.
Speaker 2: Maybe she's been to a lot of things before and
Speaker 2: Zoe didn't find this to be that important. It may
Speaker 2: be important to you, but it may not be that
Speaker 2: important to her.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, if there was a reasoning like, hey, I didn't
Speaker 2: want to be near Lenny where the parents don't.
Speaker 1: Get along, they get along.
Speaker 2: The conversations about them were interesting. When she talks about
Speaker 2: her mom, that she felt badly that she went to
Speaker 2: her dad when she was a kid, and she wished
Speaker 2: that she wouldn't have done that because her mom apparently
Speaker 2: was pretty strict and didn't want her doing a lot
Speaker 2: of things. And then she decided, Hey, I'm going to
Speaker 2: go live with dad. Oh, from what it sounds like,
Speaker 2: Dad was kind of an absentee dad at those formative years.
Speaker 2: And so what I heard Zoe talking about was that
Speaker 2: she had regrets that she didn't spend as much time
Speaker 2: or maybe listen to her mother as she should have.
Speaker 2: She didn't like lean into it that there's any animosity
Speaker 2: today because of it. It was almost more like it
Speaker 2: was her regret, not her mom's regret. Who knows a
Speaker 2: family dynamic, it's hard to tell.
Speaker 1: Well, that could explain why Lisa Bonet wasn't there. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe who knows?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's interesting. Also interesting, we spoke about
Speaker 1: Chapel Rone, I believe on the last Monday's show, Right,
Speaker 1: chapel Rone began the week and ended the week the
Speaker 1: same way, complaining about being very successful right now and
Speaker 1: what comes with that and fans that cross lines. And
Speaker 1: at first I was a little confused why she felt
Speaker 1: the need to release another statement because she had already
Speaker 1: expressed herself in two videos, But I think those were
Speaker 1: very emotional, and the written statement I think just well,
Speaker 1: I'm just confused because the response that I saw originally
Speaker 1: seemed overwhelmingly positive, Like I don't think she got a
Speaker 1: lot of blowback or criticism for expressing her thoughts. But
Speaker 1: this statement, while doubling down on everything she said, also
Speaker 1: expressed a lot of gratitude to her fans. She repeatedly
Speaker 1: said that she's very grateful, So I think maybe that's it,
Speaker 1: Like she just wanted people to know that she really
Speaker 1: appreciates them and is very serious about this. And I
Speaker 1: think she's just trying too hard to be this person
Speaker 1: that she's not anymore, Like she's not Ann chapel Roone anymore, right,
Speaker 1: And she can't go back. Unfortunately, maybe she can if
Speaker 1: she just like quits, but I don't think she wants to.
Speaker 1: She said she doesn't. She wants to have a long career.
Speaker 2: I think you can. I think you can guide the narrative.
Speaker 2: Put it that way. She is a big thing, but
Speaker 2: she's making it very clear from the beginning that she
Speaker 2: wants to be one thing and not the other. Right,
Speaker 2: Like I want to be a musician and I want
Speaker 2: to make stuff for you, and I want to be
Speaker 2: the best person on stage for you. But that's all
Speaker 2: you get from me. And I think drawing that line
Speaker 2: in the sand and this climate in this world is acceptable.
Speaker 2: Like I have zero percent problem with even her feelings
Speaker 2: and thoughts about it, and I don't think it's even
Speaker 2: one percent shitty, Like, hey, fucking leave me alone when
Speaker 2: I'm out in public. We should. You know, these fan
Speaker 2: bases being online and chastising the artists because they did
Speaker 2: do this or didn't do that, or Taylor Swift didn't
Speaker 2: stop this person from coming to my part, you're fucking
Speaker 2: this person that, you know what I mean, It's like,
Speaker 2: fuck off. Like I'm gonna go live my life. So
Speaker 2: if you still want to be a fan, great, If
Speaker 2: you don't want to be because of it, great too.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna continue being me. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: I got no problem with it. I think it's almost
Speaker 2: healthy that she's talking about it. Yeah, she's not like
Speaker 2: an athlete where she has to do a press conference,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, there's none of that.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit different.
Speaker 1: She's in control. Everything that she that she does, she
Speaker 1: chooses to do or not to. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Right, and hey, when you become this big, it's kind
Speaker 2: of a luxury, you know what I mean, because on
Speaker 2: your way up, when you have managers and their job
Speaker 2: is to make you happen, because that's what you've told them, Hey,
Speaker 2: make me happen. You go to every opening of an envelope,
Speaker 2: and you do all the things, and you're a willing
Speaker 2: participant on all of it. She's just like, I've kind
Speaker 2: of done all that shit. I'm done. I'm not doing
Speaker 2: that anymore. I have no interest in doing it. I
Speaker 2: just want to be an artist. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: I weirdly respect that. I kind of weirdly respect that
Speaker 2: out of Doja cat too. You don't have to be
Speaker 2: so rude about it.
Speaker 1: Beyond rude, I don't like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, fuck, it's her prerogative. Like I
Speaker 2: always say, you don't have to fucking listen to any
Speaker 2: of these people.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope. I don't know if I feel like
Speaker 1: she's been reluctant to do this, but I really hope
Speaker 1: Chapel Roone has a security team now, oh sure, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know she needs one, So hopefully
Speaker 1: she gets that. Okay, she's on a label. This isn't
Speaker 1: their first disco, right, that's not the label's responsibility.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, but it's the label who will tell her
Speaker 2: show her the ropes. It's just part of being on
Speaker 2: a label.
Speaker 1: Now, that's the manager's responsibility.
Speaker 2: The labels management. You're part of the machine, is my point.
Speaker 2: She's in the machine. It's not like she's some fucking
Speaker 2: girl that they just plucked out of nowhere. Yeah, she's
Speaker 2: in the system, that's all.
Speaker 1: But she might be fighting back and not want security.
Speaker 2: You know, that would be a mistake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: I doubt that.
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore congratulations to her. Her talk show has been
Speaker 1: picked up for two more seasons. It's kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, not really a hit, but it's chrugging along,
Speaker 1: so it's yes, it is a hit, you know, right,
Speaker 1: it's not a di It's like, I'm shocked it's still
Speaker 1: on the air because it's not bad. It's not good either.
Speaker 2: It's just cheap daytime program is That's all any talk
Speaker 2: show is.
Speaker 1: Or same with you know, Jennifer Hudson like that shows
Speaker 1: not bad but not good either. The only good one
Speaker 1: that's like I think the Kelly Clarkson shows great and
Speaker 1: she's great on it, so that one's doing well. Daytime
Speaker 1: such a different world than it was back in the day.
Speaker 2: But it's completely different for what it is now.
Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson's doing the best in that format. So congratulations
Speaker 1: to Drew Barrymore. And she says she addressed the whole
Speaker 1: her being too touchy feely and says that she's going
Speaker 1: to try to practice physical distancing this coming season, and
Speaker 1: she knows that it's not her strong suit, and she
Speaker 1: knows that being so close and touching people is not
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite, and she's sorry to them.
Speaker 2: She's been famous since she was literally a child, and
Speaker 2: rules are norms put it that way, you know, have
Speaker 2: never applied to her. She's never went to an HR
Speaker 2: meeting before. All that stuff gets peeled away over time
Speaker 2: at work and workplace behavior. And we see it because
Speaker 2: well maybe not you, but I see it because I've
Speaker 2: had so much of this training over the years that
Speaker 2: they hammer into your heads about how to greet people,
Speaker 2: talk to people, touch people. So it is kind of funny,
Speaker 2: but maybe she's taken those tests now good.
Speaker 1: She also tries to explain it away, saying that she
Speaker 1: began her talk show during the pandemic alone in the studio,
Speaker 1: so you know, when she got people in the studio,
Speaker 1: it just with a different experience for her.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, A little palate Cleanser an interesting post that I
Speaker 1: saw online that got tons of feedback. There is this
Speaker 1: new trend, maybe not a trend, but some people nowadays
Speaker 1: are asking their wedding guests to pay for themselves to
Speaker 1: go to their wedding right, And then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is an interesting concept. And I saw the comments,
Speaker 1: and ninety plus percent of the comments were critical of that.
Speaker 1: If you're asking your guests to do that, then have
Speaker 1: a smaller wedding or don't have a wedding. I'm not
Speaker 1: bothered by that.
Speaker 2: I'm not either. If you don't like it, don't exactly,
Speaker 2: and it's in lieu of a gift, exactly gift anymore.
Speaker 2: You don't to worry about shit like, hey, do I
Speaker 2: want to support my friend and it's going to cost whatever,
Speaker 2: two hundred bucks. Sure I was coming anyhow, So yeah, great,
Speaker 2: I'm now off the hook for a gift and everything else.
Speaker 2: I think it's gesus. I think it's just it's against
Speaker 2: the norms and people haven't thought it through. How much
Speaker 2: of a good idea.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea. Yeah, I agree, And
Speaker 1: that couple's not in debt, you know.
Speaker 2: Right, So if any listeners want to come to my wedding,
Speaker 2: it's a thousand.
Speaker 1: Oh that's just crazy. You ever been at it?
Speaker 2: Hut, Nope, they want to come, they don't have to come.
Speaker 1: I did read though, that the average price of a
Speaker 1: wedding guest to pay for that person is like over
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars. Actually, you said it's a lot of
Speaker 1: you said two hundred. No, the average is about three hundred.
Speaker 2: I mean a book a place in Los Angeles, like
Speaker 2: I was, I was looking at a place here. We've
Speaker 2: been looking at a couple of places. You know, the
Speaker 2: average is coming in. And by the way, we're not
Speaker 2: doing a wedding, We're just doing a fucking party, Okay,
Speaker 2: Like there's none of the fucking regormarole of I do
Speaker 2: and standing around and breaking glasses or whatever. The fuck.
Speaker 2: We just want to have a party. I mean, it's
Speaker 2: like fifty thousand dollars. I'm like, if that's what she wants,
Speaker 2: i'll pay it. But she's like, that's not what I want.
Speaker 2: I'd rather fucking build a deck than spend fifty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars on a wedding. It's hard in La everything's very
Speaker 2: expensive here.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's on the table. So we met, all right.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Justin Bieber. He and his wife Hayley welcome
Speaker 1: their first child into the world, Jack Blues, a boy.
Speaker 2: But who cares? It's a fucking middle name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's true.
Speaker 2: Billy Eilish's middle name is fucking pirate. It is Billy
Speaker 2: Eilish's middle name is pirate. No, I don't believe that,
Speaker 2: all right, look at I'm.
Speaker 1: Looking at it right now. Oh my god, you're right,
Speaker 1: Billie Eilish, Pirate. Baird O'Connell, What.
Speaker 2: The hell the best middle name I ever?
Speaker 1: Pirate? What the hell was?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Who's the talking one? Penn or teller? Penn right? Yeah, Pendulumny. Yeah,
Speaker 2: his daughter's middle name is crime fighter. So he said,
Speaker 2: you know, if my daughter ever gets pulled over, did
Speaker 2: you hand the license to the cop. The CoP's like, eh,
Speaker 2: crime fighter, you know, and you're gonna let him off
Speaker 2: of a ticket. I think that's genius.
Speaker 1: Well, congrats, happy for them. Also some wacky not wacky,
Speaker 1: but it was wacky to me. Leah Michelle, formerly of Glee.
Speaker 1: Just a day and a half after Justin Bieber announced
Speaker 1: that he had his baby, she announced that she gave
Speaker 1: birth to her second child. And my first thought was
Speaker 1: interesting timing, Like, you know, when you're a celebrity, you
Speaker 1: care about getting pressed for baby announce Vince, and like
Speaker 1: I would have maybe waited until Wednesday because nobody's going
Speaker 1: to give her as much attention as they're going to
Speaker 1: give Justin Bieber and his baby. And secondly, but do
Speaker 1: people even care because Leah Michelle is like semi canceled
Speaker 1: but not so, I don't know. It's another girl, her
Speaker 1: second daughter. Congratulations to her. Also some statistics. I love it.
Speaker 1: This is empirical information, it is factual, It is numbers.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Kamala Harris. She gave it to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: where it hurts him the most In viewership. Her DNC
Speaker 1: speech was watched by about five hundred thousand more people
Speaker 1: than tuned in to watch Donald Trump address the Republican
Speaker 1: National Convention, So about twenty nine million people watched Kamala.
Speaker 1: And already there's some haters being likely. Yeah, people were
Speaker 1: just watching because they were waiting for Beyonce. They were wait,
Speaker 1: we were waiting. People were waiting for Beyonce. They thought
Speaker 1: that Beyonce was going to come out where and then
Speaker 1: Beyond didn't show up.
Speaker 2: So, you know, I think you're given even that night,
Speaker 2: if you look at the overall numbers, it was something
Speaker 2: like thirty nine million people to twenty three million people.
Speaker 2: It like wasn't even close what watched the DNC versus
Speaker 2: the RNC. By the way, I don't think this means
Speaker 2: anything other than people want to check out what she
Speaker 2: has to offer, what that administration would look like. And
Speaker 2: I think they did a nice job. The whole Beyonce
Speaker 2: thing was silly, like the last thing they need is
Speaker 2: another fucking celebrity up there. You know, Oprah was already,
Speaker 2: as I said, way too much. I mean, all the
Speaker 2: backlash they got for Oprah and Bill Clinton was like,
Speaker 2: and I get Bill Clinton. You get an ex president
Speaker 2: up there, but Oprah doing her fucking used car sales
Speaker 2: through it was beyond annoying.
Speaker 1: I love Oprah. Also, speaking of statistics and numbers and congratulations,
Speaker 1: congratulations to Sabrina Carpenter. Holy hell wow. Her new album
Speaker 1: is easily going to debut on the Billboard Album chart
Speaker 1: next week, and it's projected to move between two hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty and three hundred ten thousand units, which for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four is major. And also, as I've mentioned repeatedly,
Speaker 1: she's been making music for a long ass time, which
Speaker 1: I love that for her, Like it's been a slow build.
Speaker 1: Her last album, which had a baby hit with that
Speaker 1: nonsense song, it wasn't like a real hit. It was
Speaker 1: like a moderate hit. That album of hers peaked at
Speaker 1: number twenty three. You know, it didn't even crack the
Speaker 1: top twenty.
Speaker 2: I mean even twenty three is pretty impressive in this climate. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, I listened to the whole album. It's really interesting.
Speaker 2: It's wild because it's like old school, because it doesn't
Speaker 2: happen very often that you put out an album and
Speaker 2: it's already a hit, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 2: she's had two hit songs on it, and then I
Speaker 2: started with the first track is Taste or Start to Taste, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, this is a fucking hit song.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is good. So already I've heard
Speaker 2: three great songs and I'm ten seconds into the album.
Speaker 2: There's one song that's got tar at the beginning, and
Speaker 2: maybe you're old enough to remember this, but maybe you're not.
Speaker 2: It's a total ripoff of the authority song by John
Speaker 2: Cougar Mellencamp. The guitar riff is exactly the same, and
Speaker 2: it's funny because Jessica Simpson famously did John Cougar songs,
Speaker 2: so I thought that was kind of an interesting little take.
Speaker 2: But I like the album because I thought it was interesting.
Speaker 2: I like the production on her voice so much better
Speaker 2: than like even on Espresso. It's this the whole new
Speaker 2: thing of kind of everything's a diary, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, like telling everything about your life, which I
Speaker 2: think is good for album tracks. Like I said, there's
Speaker 2: already three hit songs, so the rest can be album
Speaker 2: tracks where you're talking about your life and it's just
Speaker 2: these stories that she's telling. That quote aren't gonna be
Speaker 2: hit songs by any means. But they're great for fans
Speaker 2: because you're just telling your story, which is like a
Speaker 2: new thing. It didn't used to be that. Everything used
Speaker 2: to be shrouded in secrecy, like who's the person talking
Speaker 2: about and you never found out. Now it's like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is about that guy, and that's about this guy,
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's a whole different kind of way of
Speaker 2: doing things. I personally hate music like that because if
Speaker 2: a song doesn't mean something to me, I don't give
Speaker 2: a shit about it. Usually it's this whole reality show
Speaker 2: world we live in where we're all Taylor Swift's impact exactly,
Speaker 2: which sucks. Like I don't like this new album because
Speaker 2: it's all that like, ooh, this song's about that person
Speaker 2: and this song, I fucking hate that. I want to
Speaker 2: know what a song means to me. That's how a
Speaker 2: song is good to me. But it's just sort of
Speaker 2: a different way, or I wouldn't say a different way.
Speaker 2: After you've had three hit songs, you can kind of
Speaker 2: do anything you want on the album. Yeah, it's layered
Speaker 2: because it doesn't all sound the same.
Speaker 1: That's what I actually I don't like. I don't like
Speaker 1: that about it.
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's what makes it good to me. I
Speaker 2: like the fact that it's it's got layers to it.
Speaker 2: It's not all like Espresso Part three, Espresso Part four,
Speaker 2: this trying to be generic Part five.
Speaker 1: I like the album, but unlike the Chapel Roane album,
Speaker 1: Chapel Roone work you see Chapel Rohne's the perfect example.
Speaker 1: The Chapel rone album. Sonically it doesn't all sound the same,
Speaker 1: but she worked with just one producer on it, and
Speaker 1: the Sabrina it sounds a little too all over the place,
Speaker 1: like there's pop songs, there's like country ish songs. There's
Speaker 1: even some songs that like sonically like this is early
Speaker 1: two thousands, like R and B influence pop, you know, agree,
Speaker 1: And it was a little too much of that.
Speaker 2: I think, after you've give three hit songs, why not.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like Beyonce's album even there's so many
Speaker 2: different things going on on that. But that's why I
Speaker 2: think it's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I do like it. I like the album
Speaker 1: a lot, and I'm happy for her one last story.
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, a thank you to
Speaker 1: some new Patreon supporters and a programming note so you
Speaker 1: don't get frustrated. Or sad or upset. Next Monday is

Speaker 1: the Pieces, Teresa Mobilo, all of you are superstars. Appreciate
Speaker 1: you so very much, and finally let's end things on
Speaker 1: a positive note as well. Very happy to hear this
Speaker 1: from Paris Hilton herself. She said that Britney Spears goes
Speaker 1: over to her house regularly. She says, quote, she loves
Speaker 1: visiting the babies. Brittany was over here a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. She loves visiting the babies, especially little baby Phoenix.
Speaker 1: It's just so cute seeing her with babies. She just
Speaker 1: loves kids so much, That's true. I just like seeing
Speaker 1: Brittany doing normal things, normal shit and being with friends,
Speaker 1: and I love that all right, let's take some calls, Booker.
Speaker 1: I'm falling because I'm trying to listen to the news.
Speaker 2: Sabrina carp for.
Speaker 1: Your album, and you've ruined her for me and the
Speaker 1: production of it than her point you.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Well. I hope I changed your
Speaker 2: opinion by what I just said a few moments ago.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel that a lot of the things
Speaker 2: were actually fixed and dealt with, and I didn't feel
Speaker 2: that the production was all muddied. Espresso is muddied to me,
Speaker 2: But outside of that, the rest of the record, I
Speaker 2: think they did a nice job mixing it much better
Speaker 2: than the first single.
Speaker 1: I still love Espresso.
Speaker 2: I don't want to act like espresso sucks. I totally
Speaker 2: get Espresso. I totally get it. It's just not my
Speaker 2: cup of tea though, just because I don't know it's
Speaker 2: the voice, and we've talked about this before. I get Espresso,
Speaker 2: though I've never I thought that it's like, wasn't a
Speaker 2: hit song. It's a hit song. It's a big fucking hit.
Speaker 2: But that please Please Plase is still that's like song
Speaker 2: of the year though.
Speaker 1: I love that one.
Speaker 4: Hey press, Hey Booker, this is Natalie from Chicago. I
Speaker 4: was just calling to chime in on the Blake Lively topic.
Speaker 4: I've been watching more and more of her videos or
Speaker 4: her interviews, and I never had an opinion on Big
Speaker 4: Lively prior to this, but after watching some of these interviews,
Speaker 4: she is super duper condescending. She's so rude. I just
Speaker 4: I don't like her. I'm not a fan and I
Speaker 4: would not want to.
Speaker 3: Work with her.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think I'm team Baldoni on this one. Also,
Speaker 4: I just listened to a podcast that you mentioned like
Speaker 4: possibly traveling, and if you did, I would love for
Speaker 4: you guys to come to Chicago. Is that a possibility.
Speaker 2: My brother lives in Chicago. I love that freaking citing.
Speaker 1: I would love to do that. Yeah, I love Chicago.
Speaker 3: My name John Quinn. I'm in Montreal. I don't have
Speaker 3: an address or my emails compromised. I have a problem
Speaker 3: with Timothy Chalomey and John Mulaney just basically have been
Speaker 3: harassing me for a long time. I know such sounds unbelievable,
Speaker 3: but it.
Speaker 2: Sounds unbelievable to me that Timothy has been harassing her
Speaker 2: for a long time.
Speaker 1: No, I want to hear the rest of it.
Speaker 2: Yes, I know it.
Speaker 3: Such sounds unbelievable, but it's not. You can come and
Speaker 3: find me. I'm at take French courses, three French courses
Speaker 3: in the morning with a woman named Monique. If you
Speaker 3: find me, you'll find them. Timothy Chalomaye's real name is
Speaker 3: Manny lent them, Emanuel lent them and he ran away
Speaker 3: when he was fourteen, and that's when my interactions with
Speaker 3: him began. You can there's probably a record of him
Speaker 3: running away. It's a really bad situation. Less of a question,
Speaker 3: I guess, more of a tidbit. But if you want more,
Speaker 3: you can come and find me. Like I said, I
Speaker 3: don't have any access to phone or email because these
Speaker 3: guys have.
Speaker 1: How does she call us?
Speaker 2: Then she's probably on that uh ryah too, isn't she?
Speaker 1: That's Ben Affleck's new girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Everybody's crazy. Hey, we do need some new calls. Eight
Speaker 2: hundred and seven five. That is our phone number. We'd
