Speaker 1: From Los Angeles and one and only world famous Perez
Speaker 1: Perez Hilton Atti. Everybody, welcome to the PhD On Booker.
Speaker 1: That of course is Perez. How is your weekend great?
Speaker 2: I'll get to that in a second. But in today's show,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about one of my favorite people.
Speaker 2: It should be appealing to you old farts, Madonna. We're
Speaker 2: also going to talk about another oldie. It's the Oldies Show.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk Alec Baldwin and another old fart,
Speaker 2: Kanye West. Plus on the spectrum, though we are going to,
Speaker 2: as delicately as possible, touch on something with regards to
Speaker 2: a ten year old Kanye West's daughter, Northwest. But we'll
Speaker 2: get to all of that in a second. First, I
Speaker 2: had a few people who wanted details and for us
Speaker 2: to discuss my dinner on Friday night with Chris Angel
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas, so I will do it briefly. Some
Speaker 2: of you might remember that Chris Angel and I in
Speaker 2: the past very publicly beefed in major ways. I think
Speaker 2: I spoke about it on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I don't recall that. No, Oh well, I had.
Speaker 2: Him on the podcast and I interviewed him without you,
Speaker 2: so maybe I explained it there, but maybe not everybody listened.
Speaker 2: So a brief summary. I'm trying to think what year
Speaker 2: it was. I don't know. It was for a fucking
Speaker 2: ever ago. He had a show at the Luxer that
Speaker 2: he did in collaboration with Circus so Let. It was
Speaker 2: called Believe. It was garbage. It was so bad and
Speaker 2: not only that, but you know it was painful to
Speaker 2: watch because he had just opened it. I think it
Speaker 2: was after the opening. I went to see the show
Speaker 2: and there were multiple stops during the show, like they
Speaker 2: didn't have their shit together. So this was like at
Speaker 2: the beginning of Twitter, right, I'm guessing maybe it was
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine super Hot because it is new
Speaker 2: and I was tweeting live during the show. I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, another fucking stop during Chris Angel's show.
Speaker 2: This is worse than getting a root canal. So after this,
Speaker 2: like third stop, he comes out back on stage and
Speaker 2: he's like, ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special
Speaker 2: guest in the audience tonight, Perez Hilton. Oh please a
Speaker 2: round of applause for that piece as shit. Now, a
Speaker 2: lot of people might get up and leave. What did
Speaker 2: I do? I stood up and gave a beauty pageant
Speaker 2: wave and I sat my fucking ass down and I
Speaker 2: stayed for the rest of that show. So there was
Speaker 2: a lot of back and forth between us for years
Speaker 2: on social media. But then I had kids, he had kids.
Speaker 2: I grew up, he grew up. One of his children
Speaker 2: also went through pediatric cancer that changes you to your core.
Speaker 2: And then a couple of years ago he and I
Speaker 2: made peace and I was really happy be about that.
Speaker 2: So we've been friendly for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Flash forward to twenty twenty four, and these two local
Speaker 2: media people, they make him like the punchline to all
Speaker 2: their jokes. They continue to rag on him and really
Speaker 2: be mean. In fact, this one local guy said that
Speaker 2: Chris Angel mentions his son's pediatric cancer during his shows
Speaker 2: just to get a fake standing ovation, and that really
Speaker 2: upset him. So Chris Angel reached out to me and said, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, I'd like to invite these two guys and
Speaker 2: you out to dinner. Do you think that they would
Speaker 2: say yes? And I'm like, well, doesn't hurt to ask,
Speaker 2: you know, he didn't know them, I have relationships with them,
Speaker 2: So I asked and they both said yes, and it
Speaker 2: was awkward at first, but it ended up being a
Speaker 2: fairly nice good for you.
Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like you're the nice peacemaker on
Speaker 1: this and you put them together and they should lay
Speaker 1: off him a little bit. If they don't like the show,
Speaker 1: don't fucking go.
Speaker 2: So that was good. It was nice, and I'm proud
Speaker 2: of myself for also sticking to my healthiness. I had
Speaker 2: I don't know what, I don't know. I had a
Speaker 2: shrimp salad for appetizer, and I had a seared tuna
Speaker 2: for my entree, no dessert, and I didn't drink either.
Speaker 2: So I'm laser focused until mid February, and that's it, thankfully.
Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday I just stayed home unpacking and I
Speaker 2: got a lot of things out of boxes. How was
Speaker 2: your weekend? How you've been since last we spoke.
Speaker 1: Everything's good. I mean, you know, Kellen is riding out
Speaker 1: the end of COVID and she's doing very well. But
Speaker 1: there's no guests over, there's no hangouts happening at my house,
Speaker 1: and it's dry January still, so I'm essentially just, you know,
Speaker 1: futzed around the house, just kind of looking for things
Speaker 1: to fix. For the last two days. I mean, I've
Speaker 1: been literally doing nothing. I actually can't wait to go
Speaker 1: back to work today because I have nothing to do
Speaker 1: and it's raining in La. So I've just been really bored.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you.
Speaker 2: When you retire from radio, you could have like a
Speaker 2: second in career, being like a house person. I don't
Speaker 2: fucking know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I would like to take projects, and
Speaker 1: I dream of things like that, but I don't dream
Speaker 1: of recording them and having to put them together. That
Speaker 1: just sounds awful to me. But things like I've been
Speaker 1: paying somebody to construct this concrete wall in my backyard,
Speaker 1: and I know I could do it. It's like things
Speaker 1: I know I could do, I just don't have the
Speaker 1: fucking thing.
Speaker 2: You could do a concrete wall.
Speaker 1: It's not that hard. It's just basically concrete and water,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And time. I'd love to
Speaker 1: just take on every project myself and never pick up
Speaker 1: the phone to call anybody to fix anything again, and
Speaker 1: just do it myself.
Speaker 2: That sounds like my idea of hell, all right, let's
Speaker 2: get right to it, shall we.
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: Since our Patreon show news broke after that that Alec
Speaker 2: Baldwin has been indicted by a grand jury in this
Speaker 2: ongoing saga of that poor cinematographer who ended up dying
Speaker 2: on a shoot of his a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: He's been charged or he's going to be tried for
Speaker 2: involuntary manslaughter. And I am just beside myself, like, I
Speaker 2: don't like Alec Baldwin, but I'm shocked that we're at
Speaker 2: this point because actors are not responsible for prop weapons
Speaker 2: on a professional film or television set. It's just how
Speaker 2: it's been done for decades and decades and decades. Something
Speaker 2: awful happened, it's not Alec Baldwin's fault. And now for
Speaker 2: the law to say something contrary to what the film
Speaker 2: industry and safety guidelines have been doing for decades, it
Speaker 2: just makes no sense to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's because he's the producer and if
Speaker 1: there is a fall guy, he accepted that responsibility and
Speaker 1: his producing of this film. And I think that's all
Speaker 1: that it is. Somebody had to take the fall. And
Speaker 1: it is weird that he's also an actor, but you
Speaker 1: know it is his name dot dot on the line.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. The whole thing just is it's
Speaker 1: tragic and we'll leave it at that, We'll let the
Speaker 1: court sort it out. I think it's going to be
Speaker 1: a waste of time at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: I like you. I think it's kind of cutting clear
Speaker 1: and you're just wasting everyone's time.
Speaker 2: Oh well, all right on to Kanye West. You know,
Speaker 2: I feel bad for his quote wife, but I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure she's getting paid. I mean, she was his employee,
Speaker 2: might still be his employee, so hopefully that's a big
Speaker 2: salary because having to deal with this man is just
Speaker 2: beyond People may rag on Kim Kardashian, but she quote
Speaker 2: put up with him for so long. And yes, some
Speaker 2: might argue she knew what she signed up for, but
Speaker 2: people change, and especially when you're in the courting phase,
Speaker 2: you behave a certain way. After you're married, a lot
Speaker 2: of people change. And also Kanye's mental illness got progressively
Speaker 2: worse and worse. So it was a combination of him
Speaker 2: changing now that he got the ring on and got
Speaker 2: her on lock, and then his mental illness is getting
Speaker 2: worse and worse and worse. But she's a freaking saint
Speaker 2: the way she handled that. And I think this wife
Speaker 2: is pretty good too, because you know, if she wanted
Speaker 2: to she could be on social media and this that
Speaker 2: the other I don't even think Bianca has social media.
Speaker 2: It could be wrong, But Kanye still has social media.
Speaker 2: He's been banned from a lot of it, but he's
Speaker 2: posting on Instagram, and I guess maybe other people would
Speaker 2: be allowed to post what he posts. Instagram has some
Speaker 2: interesting rules, like you can show full on ass, but
Speaker 2: you can't show any nipple, but like bare butt is
Speaker 2: okay on Instagram, And to me, that's, you know, that's
Speaker 2: pushing the envelope because I think that the age of
Speaker 2: minimum use for Instagram is what like thirteen or fourteen
Speaker 2: probably Yeah, I don't want my thirteen or fourteen year
Speaker 2: old looking at bare asses all day long.
Speaker 1: If they got a phone in front of them, as
Speaker 1: you know, they can find anything they want. So that's
Speaker 1: the least of your problems, I would think. But back
Speaker 1: to Saint Kardashian, give me a fucking break. The thirstiest
Speaker 1: person on the planet Earth attached herself to the other
Speaker 1: thirstiest person. Give me a break, a saint, come on.
Speaker 2: The way she handled that was very respectful.
Speaker 1: She signed up for Crazy because she wants attention, and
Speaker 1: she aches for attention. Twenty four hours a day, and
Speaker 1: she gets what she deserves. I'm sorry, I'm not giving
Speaker 1: her saintthood because she put up with Kanye West.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you're wrong when Kanye is No, I'm not.
Speaker 2: You are wrong. When Kanye started his whole anti Semitism thing,
Speaker 2: You think she liked that, You think that was good
Speaker 2: for her brand? Fuck no, And yet she still handled
Speaker 2: all of that as tactfully as possible.
Speaker 1: I think I think you sign up for Kanye and
Speaker 1: you're along for the ride, you get what you fucking deserve.
Speaker 2: As I explained, he changed in many ways, same person.
Speaker 2: Kanye posted these very provocative photos of his wife Bianca,
Speaker 2: and he's continued to do that ass out wearing this
Speaker 2: like latex hoodie. It just rubs me the wrong way
Speaker 2: because he's really just turning her into this like sex object, which,
Speaker 2: as I mentioned a few episodes ago, is such a
Speaker 2: dual standard, because a double standard because he complained about
Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian being too revealing and now he's purposely making
Speaker 2: his wife revealing, maybe because they don't have kids together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he did the same thing with Kim. I mean,
Speaker 1: she was all kinds of naked and part of his photography.
Speaker 1: Remember when she was on the stairs and she was
Speaker 1: completely nude.
Speaker 2: That was before he was born again. Kanye found God.
Speaker 1: Okay, God was never missing.
Speaker 2: By the way, anyways, On one hand, Kanye is doing
Speaker 2: that to his wife, or for his wife, or about
Speaker 2: his wife. Then on the other hand, according to reports,
Speaker 2: they're taking some time apart. Again, what I said at
Speaker 2: the very beginning of this whole Kanye segment, how fucking exhausting.
Speaker 2: According to reports, Kanye has moved into a hotel to
Speaker 2: take some time away from his wife. She must be
Speaker 2: so thankful, she's praising God for that.
Speaker 1: You want to know who the saints are the people
Speaker 1: that work at that fucking hotel and have to put
Speaker 1: up with him God.
Speaker 2: Or his employees. Speaking of Kanye, his daughter North just
Speaker 2: debuted a grill, this diamond grill, and some people have
Speaker 2: strong feelings about that. Many or some think that a
Speaker 2: grill is something for adults, and this ten year old
Speaker 2: girl should not be wearing a grill. I'll say what
Speaker 2: I've always said, not my fucking daughter. If they want
Speaker 2: to let their ten year old daughter get a nose
Speaker 2: ring or hell, nipple rings, would I do that for
Speaker 2: my kid? Would I let my child have a nose
Speaker 2: ring or nipple rings or even a girl. Fuck no,
Speaker 2: But I'm not Northwest father or brother or uncle or anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have no opinion. I'm with you.
Speaker 2: The one thing that I to say as respectfully as
Speaker 2: possible looking back at the last twelve months of Northwest's
Speaker 2: public life, it is a parent to me that her
Speaker 2: mother and father are engaging in actions with regards to
Speaker 2: her that are placing her in a very adult world
Speaker 2: and doing very adult things. And that's a choice, And
Speaker 2: that's a choice. That's it. I want my ten year
Speaker 2: old son to be a fucking kid, because at ten
Speaker 2: years old, you're still a kid. My fucking ten year
Speaker 2: old son. Sometimes, like if he gets emotional about something,
Speaker 2: he'll still fucking cry. He's fucking ten years old.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, was a very emotional dad too, so that's true.
Speaker 1: He sees a lot of the wackiness that you're putting
Speaker 1: him through.
Speaker 2: No, like yesterday he started crying because he did a
Speaker 2: poor job. God, oh God, I'm gonna get I love
Speaker 2: these stories, I mean little things, but like yesterday he
Speaker 2: started crying because you know, I want to give them
Speaker 2: autonomy and help them be self sufficient. And you know,
Speaker 2: yesterday it was the day to trim you know, Sundays
Speaker 2: and Saturdays you do errands and do ship, you know,
Speaker 2: ship around the house. Right, so yesterday was the day
Speaker 2: to trim our nails. Like I'm the one, like, okay,
Speaker 2: today I have to trim my nails. So everybody trims
Speaker 2: their nails. So, you know, I let him trim his
Speaker 2: own nails, and like he did such a bad job.
Speaker 1: He did a bad job.
Speaker 2: So he did a bad job, like he barely trimmed them,
Speaker 2: and then they were so uny. It was just awful.
Speaker 2: So it's all good, all right, let me do it
Speaker 2: for you. And he's like, no, I don't want you
Speaker 2: to do it for me. I'm like, let me just
Speaker 2: do it for you, and then next week you can
Speaker 2: try to do it better. He's like no, I'm like,
Speaker 2: let me do that, I said, and let you try
Speaker 2: and the next week you can try to do it better.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this one's on you. You should have just
Speaker 1: let him do it. I gaven no, not even.
Speaker 2: He barely cut them too. What he's got piano, and
Speaker 2: that interferes with the piano lessons.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, they weren't like that long.
Speaker 2: Whatever, I just I did not whatever. All right, let's
Speaker 2: keep it moving because I don't want to go any further.
Speaker 2: But also wrapping up our Kardashian segment, God, there fucking
Speaker 2: is twenty twenty four, We're still talking about him.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, You're still talking about him. I don't think
Speaker 1: anybody else is.
Speaker 2: I still think a lot of people are. In fact,
Speaker 2: this one video that I'm gonna talk about went viral
Speaker 2: in a major way, so a lot of people still
Speaker 2: aren't talking about them. Kim Kardashian hopped onto that trend
Speaker 2: of like, you know, I'm Kim Kardashian. Of course I bla,
Speaker 2: I'm Kim Kardashian. Of course I have a tanning bed
Speaker 2: in my office, and this then the other, and that's interesting,
Speaker 2: you know, like they still well, First of all, a
Speaker 2: lot of people were upset about that video. They were
Speaker 2: bothered that she was so copious with her consumption and
Speaker 2: flaunting this, that and the other.
Speaker 1: You follow her, you fucking morons, is what I would
Speaker 1: say to all of them. You're the dumbest people on
Speaker 1: the planet if you're following her.
Speaker 2: Oh a lot of people don't follow her, but that
Speaker 2: video went viral across social media.
Speaker 1: Plastic in anywhere, and I'm on social media all day long.
Speaker 1: It's the algorithm of stupid, That's what it is. It's
Speaker 1: like it must know that you're dumb, and it shows
Speaker 1: you other dumb things.
Speaker 2: Well, I did see it, you see everything.
Speaker 1: That's hardly a fair argument.
Speaker 2: I've got to give her a round of applause because
Speaker 2: if you actually peel the layer back and look underneath
Speaker 2: what is happening on surface level, it was just a
Speaker 2: marketing gimmick. She did that to try to promote her
Speaker 2: new product at the end, which she did so she
Speaker 2: purposed like rage culture, she purposely did things to try
Speaker 2: to upset people, to try to get everybody talking, and
Speaker 2: it worked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But the thing is, when are people going to
Speaker 1: see through all of this? I mean, for me, I'm like,
Speaker 1: here comes the marketing, Like, enough enough for your stupid products. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: you hit one with Skims. You ripped off somebody else's
Speaker 1: idea and you know you've made a ton of money
Speaker 1: from it. Just disappear now please.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Skims in a surprise move, do you know
Speaker 2: who the new Skims ambassador is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call them spanks because that's what they always were.
Speaker 1: But who's the new ambassador?
Speaker 2: Lana del Rey? Really, I know I had the same reaction.
Speaker 2: I mean, Lana's headlining Coachella. She doesn't need the money,
Speaker 2: so why is she doing this, especially because like her
Speaker 2: whole thing is about cultivating this image of being uber cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but maybe she just likes the product. I guess
Speaker 1: literally make it that simple. People seem to like it
Speaker 1: because Spanks was a great idea when it first fucking came.
Speaker 2: Out, But a lot of people would think, ooh, Lana
Speaker 2: del Rey associating with Kim Kardashian and Skims, that's selling out.
Speaker 1: Nothing shocks me anymore. I mean, everybody takes the check. Now,
Speaker 1: it's a different fucking day. I Mean in the nineties
Speaker 1: you'd say no to everything and the two thousands, but
Speaker 1: now it's like it's like the more you're horror and
Speaker 1: the more successful you are. It's like I keep hearing
Speaker 1: that fucking Sean Mendes song in like an Applebee's commercial
Speaker 1: or something. Really, yeah, that's why nothing holding me back?
Speaker 2: Whatever?
Speaker 1: Wow, And I'm just like, oh, God, like it just
Speaker 1: cheapens everything. Skinnard has a sweet home Alabama and a
Speaker 1: KFC commercial. It just irks the shit out of me.
Speaker 1: It just bothers me. But it's just I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just the way of the world now.
Speaker 2: I guess I don't think Adele would do a Skins ad.
Speaker 2: She's like the only one.
Speaker 1: Does she take money for anything? Did she endorse anything? No? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so either. She's about the art. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's why I love her so much.
Speaker 2: In more music related news, Madonna is being sued by
Speaker 2: some fans for going on way past the scheduled start
Speaker 2: time of her concert. The night or nights in question,
Speaker 2: she didn't go on till nearly eleven PM, and she
Speaker 2: has a two plus hour show, so she wasn't done
Speaker 2: until well after one in the morning the next day.
Speaker 2: At this point, it's on you, yo, Like Madonna's been
Speaker 2: going on hella late for many years now. If you
Speaker 2: go see if you go see her in concert, you
Speaker 2: should expect this.
Speaker 1: Forget about the fan, Think about the person that has
Speaker 1: a family that works at the arena.
Speaker 2: They must be happy. They're getting paid extra overtime.
Speaker 1: I think they're happy. I think some people have kids
Speaker 1: at home waiting for them and they just want to
Speaker 1: go to work and do their job. I just I
Speaker 1: just think this is disrespectful to your face.
Speaker 2: It is disrespectful. Absolutely, That's where I'll leave it.
Speaker 1: I just don't think that this is a good look.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad someone is at least look they're going
Speaker 1: to get nowhere with this. But I'm glad that people
Speaker 1: are at least introducing this conversation and idea to her
Speaker 1: that her fans are a thousand and they need to
Speaker 1: go to bed before tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the concert promoters have been telling her that forever.
Speaker 2: It is what it is?
Speaker 1: What do you think it is in her mind? Is
Speaker 1: it just she's one of these people that just doesn't
Speaker 1: believe in a schedule and is just ready when she's ready,
Speaker 1: or do you think she just knows She's like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna finish my tea. What do you think it is?
Speaker 2: I don't fucking know, because I'm like, if you're late consistently,
Speaker 2: just start getting ready earlier, Like, what's the big deal.
Speaker 1: I don't know either.
Speaker 2: If it's like your hair and makeup taking too long,
Speaker 2: start an hour earlier.
Speaker 1: What else is she doing? She a banker in the day.
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I don't make excuses for her.
Speaker 2: I would say though that like she's been doing this
Speaker 2: I think for about a decade.
Speaker 1: Now, definitely. I mean the show I had to at
Speaker 1: the Forum. I remember because the MET game I was
Speaker 1: watching on my phone went into extra innings and it
Speaker 1: was like the longest fucking game ever. And so I
Speaker 1: just sat there and I watched and it was like,
Speaker 1: I don't think she went on till maybe after eleven.
Speaker 1: And this is the Forum, you know what a pain
Speaker 1: in the ass that is to get to. And I
Speaker 1: was sitting there watching the game and the game ended
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, like the final out happened, and
Speaker 1: then she walked out. I was like, was she watching
Speaker 1: the MET game?
Speaker 2: I don't know, though, how these people find lawyers, Like
Speaker 2: I wish I could find a lawyer, because are they
Speaker 2: really paying these lawyers? I don't think so, Like, who
Speaker 2: are these lawyers working for free? And where can I
Speaker 2: find them?
Speaker 1: On a park bench?
Speaker 2: It's crazy. In more music related news, congratulations to country
Speaker 2: icon read the McIntyre. It's been announced that she will
Speaker 2: be singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't see that.
Speaker 2: I guess the question is will she sing live or not,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess lip sync.
Speaker 1: By the way, the Chiefs won yesterday. Did you watch?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The Chiefs one. And I don't understand a lot
Speaker 2: of sports people, like who cares that Travis Kelsey's brother
Speaker 2: was drunk and shirtless? Like why is that a thing?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it's a thing. I think everybody
Speaker 1: loves it.
Speaker 2: No, I know, But why do they love it so much? Like?
Speaker 2: Who fucking cared? Like, why, what's the big deal?
Speaker 1: He plays for another team and he's got chief.
Speaker 2: But he's retired, he's retired, and that's his brother.
Speaker 1: Well he hasn't retired officially yet. Oh, he hasn't played
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. But it's just wild to see someone
Speaker 1: of his stature there with the shirt off having the
Speaker 1: best time supporting his brother. You know, he's got fans
Speaker 1: and introducing them to Taylor so they could wave to her.
Speaker 1: The whole thing's just sweet. It's wholesome. These two guys
Speaker 1: are huge stars, and it's a good look for the NFL.
Speaker 2: Was it wholesomer or wasn't obnoxious?
Speaker 1: No, it's pretty wholesome. I mean, he's a really beloved guy,
Speaker 1: and I think they're beloved brothers. I mean, Travis is
Speaker 1: like he's so elite and it's just cool. They're good stories.
Speaker 1: And America's Sweetheart is with America's sweetheart. It's nice.
Speaker 2: That one moment where Jason Kelsey lifted up a young
Speaker 2: fan and carried.
Speaker 1: It, he looked like a stole her.
Speaker 2: Well, I know I would have been like, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: want him doing that to my kid, Like what if
Speaker 2: he was wasted?
Speaker 1: Oh? Please, he has kids. He wasn't wasted. He was
Speaker 1: It's not like he's pounding shots up there. He's a
Speaker 1: family guy. I would trust that ogre with my kid
Speaker 1: all day long. I mean, I wouldn't worry about that
Speaker 1: too much.
Speaker 2: I saw him pounding the beers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think it would take ten
Speaker 1: thousand beers to get that guy drunk.
Speaker 2: That's true. He looks a little out of shape.
Speaker 1: Well he's alignment, you know. I mean those guys are big.
Speaker 2: Is that what they're But I mean, wouldn't you think
Speaker 2: they need to be like fast and shit like that?
Speaker 1: Or no, they stand in block.
Speaker 2: Oh that's all you do.
Speaker 1: It's all about mass, you know, and it's you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's very strong. His upper body strength. I'm
Speaker 1: sure those are probably insane, probably could lift the truck.
Speaker 1: Those guys are beasts.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the super Bowl that week, there's a ton
Speaker 2: of events happening in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I got invited to participate in a celebrity
Speaker 2: poker tournament. Wow, and I have no idea how to
Speaker 2: play poker. I have no clue. I know some terms
Speaker 2: like royal flush.
Speaker 1: Real flush. There you go, there's the flop, the river.
Speaker 1: You don't know.
Speaker 2: No, that's not a real thing. Flop, that's not a
Speaker 2: real thing. Are you bullshitting me? The river? What the
Speaker 2: fuck is the river?
Speaker 1: Cards come out?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So you now I'm getting nervous. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I thought that was Are you serious?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: What's the river?
Speaker 1: What is it up?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I can't explain it to you. It's too hard from
Speaker 1: the beginning. Maybe I should play in your steed.
Speaker 2: No, well, they asked me to participate, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I have no idea how to play. Sign me up.
Speaker 2: I'm doing it. I think I could learn really quickly.
Speaker 1: I know about that.
Speaker 2: I mean even if I flop, Like listen, I'm not
Speaker 2: using my own money in this celebrity poker tournament. So
Speaker 2: what do I have to lose?
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's just you piss off everybody at the table,
Speaker 1: like because you don't know what you're doing and the
Speaker 1: cards come out and you're picking them up and you're
Speaker 1: showing everybody.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to show my car. I know
Speaker 2: not to do that. You need to.
Speaker 1: Watch like Poker after Dark or something like, watch one
Speaker 1: of those episodes online just to get a kind of
Speaker 1: a feel of what it looks like, you know, just
Speaker 1: so you can understand what's happening.
Speaker 2: I know how to play blackjack.
Speaker 1: That's like easy, that's counting to twenty one. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: not that hard.
Speaker 2: Oh god, no, I'm stressed all right. Well. In more
Speaker 2: sports related news and media related God, this is such
Speaker 2: a bummer. Every single writer at Sports Illustrated was fired
Speaker 2: on Friday. Really, yeah, some weird shit happened where the
Speaker 2: owners of the license for the name that's been publishing
Speaker 2: Sports Illustrated defaulted on a loan and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: So big drama over there, and also big drama media
Speaker 2: related over at Pitchfork. A lot of layoffs at that
Speaker 2: music website too. They're being absorbed into GQ and the
Speaker 2: GQ editorial staff is now going to be handling Pitchfork.
Speaker 2: So wild times. Speaking of wild times in media related
Speaker 2: the ex wife of Playboy impresario Hugh Hefner, Crystal Hefner,
Speaker 2: is the latest one to go on a media tour
Speaker 2: talking everything Hugh Hefner, and she's coming out with a
Speaker 2: memoir and one of the revelations in that was that
Speaker 2: she was never in love with him. Yeah, no shit,
Speaker 2: this like the fuck.
Speaker 1: She writes a book that says bombs there.
Speaker 2: And now they're all just trying to, you know, make
Speaker 2: money off of it. Although my one big thing, like, listen,
Speaker 2: I respect a hustler, I respect a grift. You know,
Speaker 2: you were you were, you were working it, you milked it.
Speaker 2: If that were true, it is true. Why are you
Speaker 2: still calling yourself Crystal Hefner? Why not drop his last
Speaker 2: his name.
Speaker 1: You can't give up the money, Perez, you can't give
Speaker 1: up the notoriety. That name opens doors. Still, I just
Speaker 1: can't imagine who would care. The guy's dead and that
Speaker 1: whole thing in time has passed and it's not even
Speaker 1: intriguing at the moment. You know, I don't even think
Speaker 1: enough time has passed where we're looking back at that
Speaker 1: time fondly anymore. It's still me too, if you will.
Speaker 1: I don't know. The whole thing's just weird to me.
Speaker 1: Who cares?
Speaker 2: I mean the women that went through things obviously?
Speaker 1: No? No, I mean who cares to read it? Is
Speaker 1: my question? Like who's saying, well, I need to know
Speaker 1: more about these ladies? Like she just admitted that she
Speaker 1: did it for the fucking money. What's so interesting about that?
Speaker 1: I just don't find any of it interesting. You were
Speaker 1: a hanger on and you just owned up to being
Speaker 1: a hanger on. I don't see what so fascinating. I
Speaker 1: guess what I'm trying to get at.
Speaker 2: A publisher clearly disagrees with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 2: All right, onto some social media stories. I'm excited about
Speaker 2: this little section. We haven't done that in a while,
Speaker 2: can you all please? And hopefully it's just a few
Speaker 2: dumb people, but not a lot. But there's this new
Speaker 2: trend that seems to be catching on and I just
Speaker 2: need it to stop. Have you seen this? People? And
Speaker 2: actually it's gone so mainstream that even fucking Reese Witherspoon
Speaker 2: did it this past week. People eating snow or making
Speaker 2: snow ice cream. I don't want to be I just
Speaker 2: don't want to be eating like literal snow off the ground.
Speaker 2: And some people are like adding condensed milk and like
Speaker 2: trying to make ice like little ice cream with us snow.
Speaker 1: I wonder how these people have this much time on
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 2: Reese Witherspoon is busy. Reese Witherspoon has multiple businesses, and
Speaker 2: she's doing this shit. I don't get it, and I
Speaker 2: want it to stop. Also, this one story infuriated me.
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, you'll have this story of
Speaker 2: a business really effing up. And that's what happened with
Speaker 2: this baby brand called Kite Baby. They sell baby clothes
Speaker 2: and they're all about children and mothers, and they really
Speaker 2: mistreated one of their employees. Have you heard about this story.
Speaker 2: So what happened was an employee of Kite Baby for
Speaker 2: a while had been struggling to conceive, did in vitro
Speaker 2: and fertility treatments and all of that stuff, and was
Speaker 2: not able to have her own child. So she got
Speaker 2: a call that a baby was available for adoption. However,
Speaker 2: the baby was born extremely prematurely. But they said, you know,
Speaker 2: this extremely premature baby is available for adoption. The big
Speaker 2: issue was that the baby was in a hospital nine
Speaker 2: hours away from where she lived in Texas, So she
Speaker 2: asked her employers at this baby brand company if she
Speaker 2: could work remotely because the baby was nine hours away,
Speaker 2: and they told her.
Speaker 1: Now, you say somebody's true colors, right.
Speaker 2: How insensitive? And secondly like how insensitive? Like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: Like it's wild. Not only that they said no, and
Speaker 2: you're gonna lose your job if you do that. They
Speaker 2: didn't even offer her the ability of like, Okay, we
Speaker 2: can't do you know, remote work, but you can come
Speaker 2: back once you're done. They just said no.
Speaker 1: Well, look, there's two sides to every coin, and there's
Speaker 1: always two different stories, and we don't know the other side.
Speaker 1: This person could have been a horrible employee, may have
Speaker 1: been a pain.
Speaker 2: No. No. The owner of the company fest up to it
Speaker 2: made two videos apologizing saying that she was insensitive, saying
Speaker 2: that you know, the job had never been done off
Speaker 2: site before, so she didn't think it could be done offside.
Speaker 1: Still, both things could be true at the same time. Look,
Speaker 1: you're a baby bread you gotta think you'd bend over
Speaker 1: backwards for a pregnant mom or someone that wants to
Speaker 1: take care of a child, not a pregnant mom.
Speaker 2: I would think so too. Lily Luke on our Patreon asks,
Speaker 2: we want the No Doubt tea strained at best? We
Speaker 2: got to know no more backstory there. I'll answer this
Speaker 2: because I know. On our Patreon show on Thursday, we
Speaker 2: were talking about No Doubt performing at Coachella, And by
Speaker 2: the way, they have since clarified a little update they
Speaker 2: will be playing both weekends, but they didn't say what night,
Speaker 2: so there's still some doubts. Yeah, some uncertainty.
Speaker 1: They should change the name of the band to Some Doubt.
Speaker 2: Anyways, the drama is Gwen is Gwen, and she's the star.
Speaker 2: You know. She got married to Blake Shelton, didn't invite
Speaker 2: the guys. The guys had been wanting to do shows
Speaker 2: and tour and do things as No Doubt for a
Speaker 2: while a long time, and Gwen had no interest. And
Speaker 2: Gwen would perform the No Doubt songs during her Vegas residency,
Speaker 2: so she's like, I don't frecking need No Doubt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they got paid too, They got paid every
Speaker 1: time she did that.
Speaker 2: It was a difficult relationship. Let mean, look at Oasis,
Speaker 2: they're brothers and they've got a difficult hip.
Speaker 1: They can't get it together. Look at least no doubt
Speaker 1: they're doing something. And it's all about money. It's always
Speaker 1: about money, and I'm sure they got a huge check
Speaker 1: to do it. But all of these bands are I mean,
Speaker 1: you look at what you know what Blink one eighty
Speaker 1: two is doing. I mean they're in the top five
Speaker 1: grossing bands of the year. Now they are raking it
Speaker 1: and that money was available and look, wyn can still
Speaker 1: do shows. But it's just that whole nostalgia thing. It's
Speaker 1: just that moment everybody wants it. From the smallest band
Speaker 1: of like Some forty one and Yellow Cards to all
Speaker 1: the way to the top to Blink one eighty two,
Speaker 1: all of these bands are just making loot right now.
Speaker 2: Avril Lavine just announced to tour today. She's going on
Speaker 2: tour with a few people like I know It's Simple
Speaker 2: Plan and some other folks and I'm excited for that tour.
Speaker 2: I want to see it all right. More music related news,
Speaker 2: justin Timberlake has soft launched his new single how Well.
Speaker 2: He had a show over the weekend in his hometown
Speaker 2: of Memphis, and he performed his new single there, even
Speaker 2: though the songs not officially released, but people videotaped it.
Speaker 2: He allowed cameras inside, and the song is making the rounds.
Speaker 2: I like it? Do? I love it? No, it's called selfish?
Speaker 2: Is it a bop? Is it a smash? No? But
Speaker 2: it reminds me, and some people might think that this
Speaker 2: is a diss. I don't view it as a diss.
Speaker 2: It reminds me of a Nick Jonas solo single. But
Speaker 2: I like Nick Jonas's solo music, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually like Nick's. He had one song that
Speaker 1: was freaking.
Speaker 2: He had two Jealous and Chains.
Speaker 1: There's another one he did Lesser Known God. I want
Speaker 1: to look it up now, I'll look it up. But
Speaker 1: the Timberlake song is he's ripping off himself. It's just
Speaker 1: another version of not a bad thing. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: exact same song. It's it's kind of that meets mirrors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what I would want from justin Timberlake.
Speaker 2: Well, I like it. One of my power Gaze I
Speaker 2: like it too. Yeah, one of my Power Gaze was
Speaker 2: very disappointed by it. I'm like, really, yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it's very good. I liked it also another song. You
Speaker 2: should check out this one. I actually enjoyed more because
Speaker 2: it's like cotton candy. It's like designed to just be
Speaker 2: like McDonald's Kaigo with Avamax. Their song is called Whatever
Speaker 2: and it samples that iconic Shakida song from the early
Speaker 2: two thousands Whenever Wherever Nic. So that's called whatever. It's
Speaker 2: Bob Kigo and Avamax. Some film news very quickly for
Speaker 2: all you oldies. This is the Oldies Show. Andrew McCarthy,
Speaker 2: Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, and Ali Sheety are reuniting for
Speaker 2: a brat Pack documentary. Although where the fuck is Anthony
Speaker 2: Michael Hall? Yeah, we need the whole crew. Okay, he
Speaker 2: can't do it without Anthony Michael Hall or Molly Ringwald.
Speaker 2: Where is Molly? This is bullshit? Where oh right? I
Speaker 2: know you cannot do it with just you guys. All right,
Speaker 2: bring everybody to the table or I will be very upset.
Speaker 2: All right. More film related news.
Speaker 1: By the way, It's Fine You by Nick Jonas. That's
Speaker 1: the song I Always really love.
Speaker 2: Jamie is back on the set of his film with
Speaker 2: Cameron Diaz after a very long break following his still
Speaker 2: undisclosed health related issues. So glad to see him back
Speaker 2: at work. And finally, one last story. But before we
Speaker 2: get to that, a quick thank you to some of
Speaker 2: our Patreon supporters patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton. They
Speaker 2: gave us topic suggestions for today's show. Thank you to
Speaker 2: Brittany Labouf, Connie Archer, David Hayes here for the t
Speaker 2: Jenny Woods, Joanne and Sarah Barber. Finally, some TV related
Speaker 2: news as somebody who's probably too old for this, but
Speaker 2: I'm still excited about it because I didn't expect it
Speaker 2: to happen. Selena Gomez, little mogul that she is, and
Speaker 2: I think she's such a genius because you know what,
Speaker 2: it's this new model of not being too precious and
Speaker 2: just doing it all. She still does music, she's mainly
Speaker 2: focusing on TV, but like cool TV, that show with
Speaker 2: Martin Short and Steve Martin. And now it was just
Speaker 2: announced that she's going to be executive producing a reboot
Speaker 2: of the show that made her a star, Wizards of
Speaker 2: Waverley Place, and she won't be a series regular, but
Speaker 2: she will be a guest star making occasional appearances. So
Speaker 2: the fact that she's even going to be in it
Speaker 2: in some capacity love that. All right, let's take a
Speaker 2: call or two.
Speaker 3: Hello, guys, I.
Speaker 4: Mean Catherine, I'm just calling to say hello. I've been
Speaker 4: listening to you for a while now. I think you
Speaker 4: were my Wendy Williams replacement. And when I was my
Speaker 4: late teens and all to my twenties, I was so
Speaker 4: obsessed with celebrity, right, I think we all were. And
Speaker 4: it's so true, you know, Booker, when you talk about
Speaker 4: how these celebs, how they don't grow past age nineteen,
Speaker 4: and you know how we all have real life, it's
Speaker 4: just so interesting. I don't care about the celebrities anymore
Speaker 4: at all. I like to listen to you. It feels
Speaker 4: like you're my friends and you chat and we just
Speaker 4: hang out and I do craft. I'm just so much
Speaker 4: more interested in my own.
Speaker 3: Life and your guys's lives than these people.
Speaker 4: So thank you for keep making it. It's weird that
Speaker 4: I listen to this because I'm really more here for
Speaker 4: their personality, not so much for the content. But I
Speaker 4: love the discussion. And yeah, keep doing what you're doing
Speaker 4: and happy the late in New Year's a lot.
Speaker 1: Of personality here, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: I'll take it. Thank you very kind.
Speaker 1: I was very sweet of you and nice with the
Speaker 1: Wendy Williams. You know, I think people forget how great
Speaker 1: she was on the radio. God, she was so good.
Speaker 2: And then she was way too old though for saying
Speaker 2: the shit she was saying on her TV show, Like
Speaker 2: she was fucking insane, Like when she said I still remember,
Speaker 2: like the most shocking thing when she was talking about
Speaker 2: Britney Spears and the awfulness happening to her, she said
Speaker 2: death to him to her father, Like, what the fuck
Speaker 2: You're wishing death to her father? What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Remember she did the one thing where the one like
Speaker 1: influencer died.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I know, I was like, oh no.
Speaker 1: He's on. Y just moved on to the next thing
Speaker 1: like she didn't know who the fuck it was. It
Speaker 1: was funny. Jesus, all right, another call.
Speaker 3: He It's Brandy from Washington. I'm just listening to the
Speaker 3: episode about Gipsy Rose and I just want to give
Speaker 3: you guys a little more backstory and booker to give
Speaker 3: you a show recommendation. The Act on Hulu. It's about
Speaker 3: Gypsy Rows. Really great. I believe it's Joey King who
Speaker 3: stars in it. There's also a ton of documentaries on her.
Speaker 3: But you guys were talking about how she was twenty
Speaker 3: years old while she was she didn't know she was
Speaker 3: that old. Her mom had. She's been under the abuse
Speaker 3: for so long. She I think she thought she was
Speaker 3: thirteen years old. Her mom wouldn't want her get out
Speaker 3: of the wheelchair, she had feeding her on seeding tubes.
Speaker 3: Multiple peep pulled all sorts of crazy unnecessary procedures, and
Speaker 3: there was more than what you think. But I really
Speaker 3: suggest watching the Act. It's a great show on.
Speaker 2: Hulu, right, love you, Duice Spice, Well, thank you for
Speaker 2: that recommendation. Thank you to everybody for calling. Our number
