Speaker 1: From Los Angeles, the phpaint.
Speaker 2: One and only, Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1: Everybody, Welcome to the PHPA Booker here, Perez there, what
Speaker 1: is coming up?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we have too much show, So just
Speaker 2: take this as a guide and not a promise. If
Speaker 2: we don't get to everything I mentioned here at the teas,
Speaker 2: we will discuss it all to be discussed still on
Speaker 2: the Patreon Thursday at patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton.
Speaker 2: All Right, Morgan Wallin over the weekend upset a lot
Speaker 2: of people with his SML appearance. I'll explain why and
Speaker 2: talk more. Justin Bieber has got many folks worried even more,
Speaker 2: so I'll tell you the latest there. Also, Megan Fox's
Speaker 2: baby daddies are at war. The Hogan family Hulk Hogan's
Speaker 2: daughter and ex wife are beefing with each other publicly,
Speaker 2: Ariana Grod versus her fans, plus Jessica Simpson, Sidney Sweeney,
Speaker 2: Chapel Rowan Will Smith, Jojo Siwa, and maybe even more.
Speaker 2: But let's just skip any chit chat and get right
Speaker 2: to Morgan Wallen over the weekend, the country singer and
Speaker 2: songwriter with a past, in fact not so far distant past.
Speaker 2: Just in December, he pled guilty to reckless endangerment for
Speaker 2: that incident where he threw a chair many stories up
Speaker 2: above this, you know establishment in Nashville, and the police
Speaker 2: were just right nearby and unlucky for him, but luckily
Speaker 2: nobody got injured. He was sentenced to seven days in
Speaker 2: a DUI detention center. It's unclear if he's served that
Speaker 2: time yet, but he had enough time over the weekend
Speaker 2: to perform on Saturday Night Live. And I don't watch
Speaker 2: SNL religiously, but I've read that what he did is
Speaker 2: pretty much unheard of, Like I don't think it's ever
Speaker 2: been before. So if you don't watch SNL, you know,
Speaker 2: they have the opening monologue and that's the same every show,
Speaker 2: and then they have the goodbyes where the host, the
Speaker 2: special host and the musical guests and the cast all
Speaker 2: just stand there and they wave goodbye and they chitchat
Speaker 2: with each other. And it's not very long. It's like
Speaker 2: less than a minute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like twenty seconds of standing there and everybody's hugging
Speaker 1: each other. It's like this forced good box.
Speaker 2: So Morgan walland hugs the host, Mikey Madison, the actress
Speaker 2: who just won the Oscar and he walks off stage
Speaker 2: through the audience front of house, breaking the camera. Not
Speaker 2: breaking the camera, it's an expression like, you know, going
Speaker 2: past the camera, and people thought he was pissed. And
Speaker 2: what definitely contributed to that theory was that after he
Speaker 2: left SNL, he posted a picture of his private plane
Speaker 2: and he captioned it, get me to God's Country, implying
Speaker 2: in the minds of many that perhaps SNL, where he
Speaker 2: was for you know, the time that he was in
Speaker 2: New York, is a godless country, or or that he was,
Speaker 2: you know, not happy with his experience on SNL. So oh,
Speaker 2: I'm so sick of this. Take me to where I
Speaker 2: belong in God's Country.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but as someone from God's country, and if
Speaker 1: I had never been to New York before, and I
Speaker 1: was around a bunch of strangers all week and I
Speaker 1: just posted I'm coming home to my family, friends, whomever,
Speaker 1: and you just posted something like that, big deal. I mean,
Speaker 1: he'd leave early, he did his goodbyes, he did his hug,
Speaker 1: he did everything. I mean, I find this to be
Speaker 1: much to do about nothing. And I kind of feel
Speaker 1: like maybe the guys never watched the end of SNL
Speaker 1: before because, by the way, who could fucking make it
Speaker 1: to the end of SNL. I mean, the show has
Speaker 1: been so god awful for so many years. Yes, there's
Speaker 1: bits that live online, but I don't know if everyone
Speaker 1: knows that you're supposed to stand there through the whole thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's a little bit rude, but
Speaker 1: I just think that this there's a lot to do
Speaker 1: about nothing.
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's a lot to do about nothing. I think
Speaker 2: people interpreted as ungrateful. They just booked him on SNL,
Speaker 2: which is perhaps easily one of the most coveted things
Speaker 2: in music.
Speaker 1: And he did a great job, and he did his part,
Speaker 1: and he was present for the entire week, and no
Speaker 1: one has one complaint to say about him, and jeez,
Speaker 1: he just peels out. He doesn't know anybody there, and
Speaker 1: he wants to get home to whomever. I just don't
Speaker 1: find this to be even a story. And I just
Speaker 1: can't believe how much traction this has gotten. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: if there was some beef and we heard some shit
Speaker 1: that you know he pulled or did, or somebody else did,
Speaker 1: or some sort of conflict happened. Okay, but I've heard
Speaker 1: of none of this. I just heard that he he
Speaker 1: pieced out and maybe he did it in rehearsals too.
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. I mean the whole God's Country.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's hell. I would say that, you know,
Speaker 1: get me back to God's Country. I mean, that's not
Speaker 1: a big it's just a Southern expression.
Speaker 2: Well, his team has begun damage control or quote damage control.
Speaker 2: If there is any damage.
Speaker 1: If I was his team, I'd do nothing. I'd say nothing.
Speaker 1: I would just let it die because the story's gone
Speaker 1: by tomorrow.
Speaker 2: They chatted to Variety and said that he meant nothing
Speaker 2: by it, that he had a good time on SNL,
Speaker 2: that that's just how he entered and exited the stage
Speaker 2: all week long when he was rehearsing, And they claim
Speaker 2: that there's not much more to it than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see the press really bored this weekend, is
Speaker 1: what I see.
Speaker 2: Well, No, once again, it's got nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the press.
Speaker 1: Well, I've just seen the story so many times, is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and I just kind of feel like
Speaker 1: it's much to do about nothing.
Speaker 2: Because it was big on social media. The press picked
Speaker 2: it up because it was trending across socials.
Speaker 1: Doesn't make the Internet right. The Internet is generally wrong.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I once again I think this
Speaker 1: is dead by tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I definitely do think it's rude of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you want to say it's rude, fine,
Speaker 1: But I don't think the guy meant to be rude,
Speaker 1: or maybe he did. He's just like I'm done, I'm
Speaker 1: out of here, you know, and just pieced out. You know.
Speaker 1: They have typically have a party at their snow. I'm
Speaker 1: shocked that he didn't stay for that or want to
Speaker 1: stay for that, But you know, you got a plane
Speaker 1: out there at Teeterborough and you're like ready to go.
Speaker 1: Like it just sounds like he had a week, it
Speaker 1: was work. He just wanted to get home.
Speaker 2: That's that. Also, the story that'll be bigger today even
Speaker 2: than that, is justin Bieber a lot of action over
Speaker 2: the weekend on his ig account, which is interesting. He's
Speaker 2: officially an old man. If he was, like, you know,
Speaker 2: in his twenties, I feel like he'd be much more
Speaker 2: active on TikTok and using that platform. But it seems
Speaker 2: like Instagram is his platform of choice. So kudos to Instagram.
Speaker 2: For not being culturally irrelevant yet or at all, because
Speaker 2: you know, TikTok might fucking go away. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be going back into ban on the
Speaker 2: fifth of April. Oh really, Yeah, nobody's really talking about it. Wow,
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens there.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Donald Trump just wants to save the day. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, I saw total aside the new Oh god.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump keeps talking about running for a or being
Speaker 2: president yet again a third time. And there is some speculation, well,
Speaker 2: how could you do that? Well, and actually I literally
Speaker 2: just saw this right before recording. But maybe, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe a listener knows. There is a working theory that
Speaker 2: if JD. Vance were to run for president and Donald
Speaker 2: Trump as vice president and JD. Van steps down, that
Speaker 2: Donald Trump would then become president. Right? Is that true?
Speaker 2: Barack Obama could also be president again then too.
Speaker 1: Not really, because the constitution sets See this whole thing
Speaker 1: is like, first of all, I would have all of
Speaker 1: these people locked up for treason. The Constitution is the
Speaker 1: thing you swore to protect. And the Constitution says that
Speaker 1: you can serve two terms. And that's what it says.
Speaker 2: How could Trump do it, but not Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: Because Barack Obama would have to have somebody to run
Speaker 1: in his steed, and he'd have to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: He'd have to have somebody run and win, and they
Speaker 1: would have to do the same thing.
Speaker 2: You know, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But he's not going to do that because I believe
Speaker 1: he cares about the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear
Speaker 1: about two terms for a president. Once again, this administration
Speaker 1: sidestepping the rules, trying to find the back door and everything.
Speaker 1: Treason is what I call this. The Constitution says very
Speaker 1: clearly what they wanted and the reasoning for it. And
Speaker 1: this is the reason, because you don't want a dictator whatever.
Speaker 1: That's a long time from now. And look at the guy.
Speaker 1: He's going to be what eighty three by the eighty four,
Speaker 1: he will probably be dead by then. Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: It's not an easy job. So we'll say once again,
Speaker 1: another distraction is all that it.
Speaker 2: Is justin Bieber, all about Instagram. And you know, I
Speaker 2: had this thought, he's still allegedly very religious but loves marijuana.
Speaker 2: And you know, I grew up Catholic, but all Christian faith.
Speaker 2: I don't think any of them condone or promote or
Speaker 2: approve of marijuana use.
Speaker 1: Well, there was no marijuana back in those days. It's
Speaker 1: a plant. Who knew that a plant was gonna get
Speaker 1: you high? Or I don't think religion has much to
Speaker 1: do with it.
Speaker 2: Growing up Catholic, that was a bad thing.
Speaker 1: It's just was called a drug. Everything fell under the
Speaker 1: drug umbrella and drugs are bad and that's the message.
Speaker 2: Or not even drugs, like in my Catholic school, they're like, oh,
Speaker 2: you should not be drinking a lot or or whatever. Anyways,
Speaker 2: he even this one post on his ig story. It
Speaker 2: was just like, I don't know what do you call
Speaker 2: it when you're like, I think it was like pulverized
Speaker 2: weed or something.
Speaker 1: Is it like hash? I don't know anything about the weed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a weed person. I don't like it.
Speaker 2: Like I could tell it was weed, but it was
Speaker 2: like ground up weed, I feel like. Anyways, he clearly
Speaker 2: was on a lot of that, it seems. And then
Speaker 2: he went live and was like, I don't even know
Speaker 2: how to describe. He was weird. It was very a
Speaker 2: weird live. It was just tie seemed like he was high.
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well you said that there was some weed involved,
Speaker 1: so it sounded like he was high.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm being very careful here.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: He also shared a photo of his wife, and people
Speaker 2: are reading into this because he chose a song from Shahdi.
Speaker 2: But the song is called Jezebel. If you don't know, Jezebel,
Speaker 2: according to the Dictionary, that is quote an immoral woman
Speaker 2: who deceives people in order to get what she wants.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. A different dictionary says that Jezebel is
Speaker 2: an impudent, shameless, or morally unrestrained woman. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is there a Jezebel reference in the Bible as well?
Speaker 2: I feel like think, oh, yes, that's how it came
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Once again, he's got a trolling.
Speaker 2: Well his wife is in on it, or there's something
Speaker 2: going on because Haley over the weekend and followed him
Speaker 2: on Instagram. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: After a certain point, is it really just trolling or
Speaker 2: is something going on?
Speaker 1: You're right, it could be one of the other.
Speaker 2: I would like to believe it's trolling. But if you're
Speaker 2: doing this much trolling, Like, bro, how desperate?
Speaker 1: What else do they have to do? She has not
Speaker 1: announced a talent in her body, and he refuses to
Speaker 1: use the talent he has except for on Instagram at
Speaker 1: this point, Seriously, I'm not even like trying to be funny.
Speaker 1: What the fuck else do they have to do?
Speaker 2: Well? You know what I've said on a recent episode,
Speaker 2: or maybe I didn't say it, but I'm saying it
Speaker 2: now so many ways. Justin Bieber is like the male
Speaker 2: Britney spears.
Speaker 1: Oh god, now he's not there yet. I mean what,
Speaker 1: he's posting some weird stuff online. He's not out there
Speaker 1: doing anything dangerous yet yet.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Well, that's everything with Bieber. Hopefully it's just trolling. Equally dumb,
Speaker 2: I guess is the word Machine Gun Kelly and Brian
Speaker 2: Austin Green are beefing publicly. And also this is so
Speaker 2: se list of him. I would say that this is
Speaker 2: an accurate assessment. Okay, Usually, if you're an A lister,
Speaker 2: A listers never announce a baby's birth the same fucking
Speaker 2: day the baby was born. But that's exactly what Machine
Speaker 2: Gun Kelly did. Megan Fox gave birth to their daughter,
Speaker 2: and that same day he put it out on Instagram.
Speaker 2: She's finally here, our little celestial seed. It's a little
Speaker 2: se list, but that's okay.
Speaker 1: Or you're a parent that's excited that you just had
Speaker 1: a kid. I don't really think that's sealsty or any listy.
Speaker 2: For celebrities, yes, it is. An A lister will never
Speaker 2: announce their child, especially when they're still in the freaking hospital.
Speaker 2: Or maybe not in the hospital. Maybe she did a
Speaker 2: home birth. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But still I never really thought of it, and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't like think it's low brow, just that they did that,
Speaker 1: and I think it's exciting. And look, when you're a guy,
Speaker 1: let's be honest, you got nothing to do in this.
Speaker 1: You're just a passenger. The woman does all the goddamn work.
Speaker 1: So if you're sitting out in a lobby and your
Speaker 1: board and you're in a person that communicates on Instagram
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven every thought that you have and
Speaker 1: what you had from breakfast, I mean, this doesn't even
Speaker 1: seem shocking or weird to me.
Speaker 2: It's weird to me. It's not an a it's not
Speaker 2: an A list move.
Speaker 1: He's not an a lister. He's machine Gun Kelly exactly.
Speaker 2: And she's not an A lister either.
Speaker 1: No, she's not either. He's probably c she's b as
Speaker 1: a couple, they're a bee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, that's an accurate assessment. I would say. Well,
Speaker 2: that same day out, just hours before, he shared the
Speaker 2: baby birth announcement, Megan Fox's ex husband and the father
Speaker 2: of her three children, she finally got a girl. You
Speaker 2: know her other kids are all boys. With Brian Austin Green,
Speaker 2: machine Gun and Kelly had messaged Brian Austin Green, and
Speaker 2: Brian Austin Green took a screenshot and posted it on
Speaker 2: his Instagram story the message that MGK sent him. He
Speaker 2: slid him to his DMS and said, stop asking when
Speaker 2: our child is going to be born you the Feds.
Speaker 2: Then an emoji of a rat and a police officer.
Speaker 2: Quit calling TMZ.
Speaker 1: These are adults, by the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, alleged adults. Quit calling TMZ and focus on that
Speaker 2: apology you owe me for speaking on my name in public.
Speaker 2: You chose the wrong one to fuck with, mister child actor.
Speaker 2: Go back to serial commercials. So then Brian shared that
Speaker 2: and added some laughing emojis and said I didn't know
Speaker 2: child actor was something bad LEO careful, he may be
Speaker 2: coming for you next. Yeah, children, I know. I mean
Speaker 2: I kind of like it because I love the content.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It's weird, like half of me
Speaker 1: is like, why would you even respond to something so
Speaker 1: stupid and petty? But then again, I'm like, if you
Speaker 1: got a funny life, knock yourself out. He outdid him.
Speaker 1: If I had to judge this beef, I'd say that
Speaker 1: Brian Austin Green won that round.
Speaker 2: But both I would say are messy. I mean, if
Speaker 2: he wanted to take the high road, he would not
Speaker 2: have shared that.
Speaker 1: You know what, it doesn't hurt anybody. There's no kids
Speaker 1: involved in this, there's no anything that really affects anyone.
Speaker 1: It's more just fodder for us dipshit. So if you
Speaker 1: want to do that, fine, Once again, what else do
Speaker 1: a bunch of c listers have to do? It's their currency, right,
Speaker 1: So doesn't shock me.
Speaker 2: So in terms of messiness, you'd say machine gun Kelly
Speaker 2: is messier.
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, but it's close, right, I mean, even responding,
Speaker 1: you've just dropped yourself into the mud puddle yourself. But
Speaker 1: if you want to gauge who has more mud on them.
Speaker 1: I guess I'd have to say machine gun Kelly, he started.
Speaker 2: It, Okay, I would agree with that, and this one.
Speaker 2: I also think there's a clear messy one. Linda Hogan,
Speaker 2: who people of a certain age remember, not just because
Speaker 2: she used to be married to Hulk Hogan, but in
Speaker 2: the early two thousands, Hul Cogan had a very successful
Speaker 2: reality TV show that ran for a few seasons. I
Speaker 2: think he was on VH one, right.
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, Hogan knows best or something, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2: Linda Hogan took to social media, and she's older than
Speaker 2: Justin Bieber, so she posted it on her Facebook account.
Speaker 2: I love it. If we were talking about somebody in
Speaker 2: their twenties, it'd be TikTok. Bieber's in his thirties, so
Speaker 2: he's using the Instagram, and Linda Hogan is probably like
Speaker 2: sixty something, so she's all about Facebook. Linda Hogan took
Speaker 2: to Facebook to post a teary eyed video crying over
Speaker 2: the fact that her daughter Brooke is estranged from her
Speaker 2: and that she recently gave birth and she's said that
Speaker 2: she's not involved in the children's life, and she claims
Speaker 2: that Brooke is estranged from both her and the father.
Speaker 2: Linda is no saint. She I'm sure did a lot
Speaker 2: of things in the past. In fact, that's exactly what
Speaker 2: Brooke Hogan alleged. She did respond publicly to her mother,
Speaker 2: saying she didn't want to do this, but that she
Speaker 2: felt that she had to to set the record straight.
Speaker 2: She claims that she has her own reasons for going
Speaker 2: no contact with both her mother and her father, and
Speaker 2: that at various points throughout her life she had been
Speaker 2: verbally and mentally abused by her parents, and often it
Speaker 2: turned physical. She claimed they'd be degrading her and using her,
Speaker 2: asking her to lie all sorts of things. Because if
Speaker 2: you remember, I think it was like ten years ago,
Speaker 2: Hulk Cogan was caught on tape saying racist things and
Speaker 2: then Brooke defended him publicly. Linda started dating somebody almost
Speaker 2: her daughter's age, which maybe she didn't like that, Like,
Speaker 2: there's like a whole bunch of messiness. So Brooke Hogan
Speaker 2: shared her truth, and then Linda Hogan did not like
Speaker 2: hearing that. She responded back to her daughter, calling her
Speaker 2: a narcissist and a drunk I'm like, okay, great, mom,
Speaker 2: I know now who the problem is. Clearly, even if
Speaker 2: your daughter is a narcissist or a drunk or both,
Speaker 2: you putting her on blast like that tells me enough
Speaker 2: that I need to know about you and let me
Speaker 2: figure things out.
Speaker 1: I think there isn't a threshold of intelligence for reality shows,
Speaker 1: and when they throw everybody in these pools, generally people
Speaker 1: are dumb that are fucking on them. It's like they're
Speaker 1: still in their minds. They're still on TV and they're
Speaker 1: still performing for people their audience on the Facebook or whatever.
Speaker 1: Linda Hogan starts it and then the daughter responds, which
Speaker 1: that's what she wants as a response, and then she
Speaker 1: takes a shit on her response. It's it's like it's
Speaker 1: a vicious cycle and circle that they keep continuing in
Speaker 1: and it's just funny.
Speaker 2: To her credit, Brooke has led a pretty normal life
Speaker 2: for the last decade or so.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think in one of her responses she
Speaker 2: talked about how she had to get like a normal
Speaker 2: job for a while there because she didn't have money.
Speaker 2: Hulk Hogan, Now everything is coming to light. I feel
Speaker 2: like we've not heard the end of all this drama
Speaker 2: because for a few reasons, it's kind of like why
Speaker 2: Octomom is getting a lot of attention now because she
Speaker 2: had ghosted the world for a while. The Hogans had
Speaker 2: also basically, well not really. We did talk about Hull
Speaker 2: Hogan on the podcast recently and how he showed up
Speaker 2: at one of the wrestling things. He got booed.
Speaker 1: He was part of Trump's you know, I'm surprised he's
Speaker 1: not the Secretary of Defense or something at this point. No,
Speaker 1: he's been in the mix. Yeah, so he's for certain audiences.
Speaker 1: He's been back. He never really went away.
Speaker 2: But then as a family, you know, as a family,
Speaker 2: they haven't really been talked about in a while.
Speaker 1: Right, Maybe they're priming the pump for something, or maybe
Speaker 1: they think, and I mean Linda thinks that by doing
Speaker 1: this she can garner some interest. When I believe that
Speaker 1: the daughter probably wants nothing to do with it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I believe that the daughter is probably going Why did
Speaker 1: I even respond? Because I knew this was the response
Speaker 1: I was going to get. Why did I lower myself
Speaker 1: into this cesspool? That sucks? Because it really is their family.
Speaker 2: Well, we've learned that Hulk Hogan his new wife, that
Speaker 2: they've only been married a couple of years. She is
Speaker 2: a hardcore second generation scientologist. Bad news. That's all I
Speaker 2: will say. Bad news. So I feel like what we
Speaker 2: will be hearing more from them? All right? Gal Gadot
Speaker 2: and Rachel Zegler. I thought it was Gal Gadot, Oh right,
Speaker 2: Gal Gadot, Jesus, Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler. Variety ran
Speaker 2: a very informative article about all the snow white drama
Speaker 2: and the reasons for a lot of the behind the
Speaker 2: scenessness of it all. Apparently Gal and Rachel did get
Speaker 2: along while filming. It wasn't until afterwards that things got
Speaker 2: really bad, especially recently, especially because Rachel, in the comments
Speaker 2: of Instagram on one post, called Gal a glorified beauty
Speaker 2: pageant queen. And even if she was a beauty pageant queen,
Speaker 2: that's so dismissive and you don't say that about a
Speaker 2: fellow actor. But I don't care about that. What I
Speaker 2: care about was this. This was the most glaring thing,
Speaker 2: according to Variety, last summer, after Gal and Rachel went
Speaker 2: to this Disney event called D twenty three, which is
Speaker 2: kind of like Comic Con.
Speaker 1: It's the big Disney event that they put on.
Speaker 2: She thanked everybody for watching the trailer of Snow White
Speaker 2: because it got a lot of views online. And then
Speaker 2: she said and as always free Palestine, And people were
Speaker 2: at Disney were very upset that, not necessarily that she
Speaker 2: talked about Palestine, but that she did it on Twitter
Speaker 2: in a thread where it was about the movie. Like,
Speaker 2: you know, keep your political opinion separate from the film
Speaker 2: you're promoting, is what people thought. So the producer of
Speaker 2: the movie, Mark Platt, flew from Los Angeles to New
Speaker 2: York to talk to her and to also try to
Speaker 2: get her to delete that, and she didn't. She did
Speaker 2: not delete the as always remember free Palestine. Then what
Speaker 2: made it to me even more interesting is that the
Speaker 2: son of Mark Platt, Jonah Platt, an actor, a NEPO baby,
Speaker 2: the brother of Ben Platt. He also took to Instagram
Speaker 2: to write a lengthy response to somebody calling him out
Speaker 2: for what his dad did. He's like, yes, this happened.
Speaker 2: He left his family to go talk to this actress
Speaker 2: who got paid millions of dollars and blah bla bla
Speaker 2: blah blah. And I think we mentioned on the Patreon
Speaker 2: I think that she's going to be starring in a musical,
Speaker 2: right so that's that's what she's doing. At the end
Speaker 2: of this year, she's going to be a vida on
Speaker 2: the West End in London. I do think that how
Speaker 2: she handled this all will unfortunately negatively impact her career,
Speaker 2: especially now that we know this right that her bosses
Speaker 2: told her take that down and she didn't. She didn't
Speaker 2: play ball, she didn't play the game. However, when I
Speaker 2: was fucking twenty years old, I would have done whatever
Speaker 2: I was wanted to do.
Speaker 1: You could see yourself doing the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would have not taken it down, right.
Speaker 1: You would have buried your feet in the sand and
Speaker 1: would have said, you know what, I'm dug in here.
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening.
Speaker 2: Still, even in my forties, I don't like being told
Speaker 2: what to do, That's true. Who knows even if I
Speaker 2: would have taken it down, I would know now I
Speaker 2: would have definitely taken it down. If the big ball
Speaker 2: I'm not an idiot, right like that thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not the brightest. But also if I was doing
Speaker 2: a big Disney movie, yeah, and the producer and also
Speaker 2: she's burned not just a bridge with Disney, but this
Speaker 2: guy Mark Platt is not a producer that's exclusive to Disney.
Speaker 2: He also produced Wicked for Universal. Like, so this guy
Speaker 2: does it huge movies. He's a huge, powerful, prolific producer.
Speaker 2: And she's burned that bridge too.
Speaker 1: Look in Hollywood, when the cat gets out of the
Speaker 1: bag and people know you're a pain in the ass,
Speaker 1: your career and your work will stop unless you are
Speaker 1: insanely talented. I mean, you have to be next level talented.
Speaker 1: And there's let's be honest, there's a handful of those
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. Everybody else is just lucky. Yeah, Okay, So
Speaker 1: if a boss is like you know, if it's between
Speaker 1: two people and you're essentially the same and one's a
Speaker 1: pain in the ass and one isn't, they're gonna go
Speaker 1: with the one that isn't a pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: And that's just the facts. That's life, and that's any job.
Speaker 1: So if you want to go ahead and you want
Speaker 1: to tweet and you want to be dug in on
Speaker 1: things like that, it'd be like in twenty years you'll
Speaker 1: look back and go, remember when I was an actor,
Speaker 1: because that's what will end up happening.
Speaker 2: Well, you can still be happy doing theater. Hey, Look, I.
Speaker 1: Think if this was pre booked, and if they if
Speaker 1: they had a whiff of this, and if they had
Speaker 1: any idea that this could have been coming, they probably
Speaker 1: would not have hired her. They probably would have looked elsewhere.
Speaker 2: I disagree. I think the theater community is much more
Speaker 2: forgiving than regular show biz, and the fact that she's
Speaker 2: been in some big movies from West Side Story to
Speaker 2: now Snow White, that will always give her cachet in
Speaker 2: true theater.
Speaker 1: If she could put asses in seats, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still think at the end of the day, if
Speaker 1: you're pain in the ass, that'll catch up with you
Speaker 1: and people will stop hiring.
Speaker 2: We will see over the weekend. On Friday, Ariana Grande
Speaker 2: released a new version of her last album with six
Speaker 2: new songs on it. And I heard them and they're
Speaker 2: all just fine. None of them are bad, but it
Speaker 2: all feels like okay, six more album tracks, like not
Speaker 2: a single. One of those songs felt really special to
Speaker 2: me or like they could be a single. But I thought, Wow,
Speaker 2: she's gonna capitalize off of the Wicked momentum and at
Speaker 2: least give a push for one of the new songs
Speaker 2: to be a single and be a hit. I thought
Speaker 2: she would want to hit, But no, because none of
Speaker 2: these songs are a hit in my opinion. But there's
Speaker 2: one song in particular that people are talking a lot
Speaker 2: about because it's about her boyfriend. And let me read
Speaker 2: to you some lyrics quickly. The songs called Hampstead, she says,
Speaker 2: singing in the song, I left my heart at a
Speaker 2: pub in Hampstead, and I misplaced my mind in a
Speaker 2: good way, threw away my reputation but saved us more heartache. Yes,
Speaker 2: I know it seems fucked up, and you're right, but
Speaker 2: quite frankly, you're still wrong about everything so far off
Speaker 2: your seat's nowhere near the table. But I find something
Speaker 2: sweet in your peculiar behavior, because I think to be
Speaker 2: so dumb must be nice. What makes you think you're
Speaker 2: even invited? The doors are closed, with the lights off inside,
Speaker 2: and all the while there's no one home, you're still outside.
Speaker 2: I wonder why? What's wrong with a little bit of poison?
Speaker 2: Tell me I would I rather feel everything than nothing?
Speaker 2: Every time? Fear me stranger, a little bit of sugar danger.
Speaker 2: I'd rather be seen and alive than dying. By your
Speaker 2: point of view, you think you've read the book, I'm
Speaker 2: still writing. I can't imagine wanting so badly to be right.
Speaker 2: Guess I'm forever on your mind. I wonder why. Here
Speaker 2: are the facts, the undisputable facts. Arianna Grande started her
Speaker 2: relationship with her boyfriend while they were filming Wicked Okay,
Speaker 2: also at the beginning of production. He was still with
Speaker 2: his wife at the time, and she had just given birth,
Speaker 2: and she flew all the way from the US to
Speaker 2: the UK to be with him and support him and
Speaker 2: so that their son could be there too. They were
Speaker 2: still married, and she believed they were happily married. Then
Speaker 2: that when from happily married to not happily married quickly
Speaker 2: after she had just given birth and gone to this
Speaker 2: other country to support his dreams. And then Ariana started
Speaker 2: dating him, and she was also married at the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'd been separated, yes.
Speaker 2: But not Ethan Slater and his wife. So you know,
Speaker 2: she doesn't want to clarify what people got wrong. But
Speaker 2: those are all facts, right, those are all facts. So
Speaker 2: what exactly did we get wrong? I don't know.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is shocking to me that they're still together.
Speaker 1: That's what blows my mind because typically when a relationship
Speaker 1: is rooted in some sort of deception or lie or
Speaker 1: half truth. It all outs for some reason. It just
Speaker 1: typically does within the relationship and it falls apart. I'm
Speaker 1: shocked at they're together, but you know, maybe they're just
Speaker 1: two incredibly caved in human beings. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: have no idea.
Speaker 2: And all of the facts that I shared that was
Speaker 2: based on what Ethan Slater's ex wife said herself when
Speaker 2: she wrote this article about being a therapist and having
Speaker 2: her work be affected because her private life is now public.
Speaker 2: And she didn't mention names, and she didn't really she
Speaker 2: didn't spill too much tea, but she spilled enough enough
Speaker 2: that I shared with you all the facts according to her,
Speaker 2: So you know, it is what it is once again.
Speaker 2: Pereza Damis, I'm like, you know, a week ahead of
Speaker 2: everybody else on the Patreon I believe, or maybe it
Speaker 2: was last Monday, but on a recent episode, we talked
Speaker 2: about Jojo Siwa going on tour and how this time
Speaker 2: around she was doing smaller venues because her last tour
Speaker 2: three years ago, she was doing arenas. Now she's doing
Speaker 2: House of Blues venues across the country or similar type
Speaker 2: of layouts, you know, like a general admission area down
Speaker 2: and then like seats above and et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: That was me five days ago. Now, over the weekend,
Speaker 2: people were obsessing over the fact that Jojo was selling
Speaker 2: a nine hundred dollars VIP ticket where fans could work
Speaker 2: for her, although that was misconstrued. What it was described
Speaker 2: at as was help her with the set. What she
Speaker 2: meant by that, and she clarified, is help her decide
Speaker 2: what songs are gonna be in the show. So help
Speaker 2: her with the set list.
Speaker 1: Right, They're not out there cleaning the floors or anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, But honestly, like, people paid way more for
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift tickets, and like, if you're a huge Jojo
Speaker 2: Siwa fan, this is a cool opportunity. It's not a
Speaker 2: money grab, she says. They're only doing four of these
Speaker 2: per stop.
Speaker 1: Well, people are making a big deal about the money,
Speaker 1: and I don't understand that. If you're willing to pay
Speaker 1: to do something that's different than anyone else, that's just
Speaker 1: called commerce. I don't understand why people are so like, well,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift doesn't do that. Well, Taylor Swift is at
Speaker 1: a different level and if she wanted to, she could.
Speaker 2: She could charge ten thousand. She could.
Speaker 1: She could say, Hey, we're gonna have the twenty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars ring here in the front, and we're gonna have
Speaker 1: a party before and I'm gonna party with you and
Speaker 1: we're all gonna decide the set list together. You know,
Speaker 1: I do it the same every night anyhow.
Speaker 2: Well, Taylor does not do it the same every night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does bring in a new song every night,
Speaker 1: two new songs every night. Ooh, two songs. I remember
Speaker 1: tours used to be like every night, it'd be different,
Speaker 1: wouldn't be all planned out. But when you got something
Speaker 1: that big, I guess that's how you gotta do it.
Speaker 2: Tory Amos still does that, and that's one of the
Speaker 2: reasons I love going to see Tory often multiple times
Speaker 2: on a tour, because you could go two nights in
Speaker 2: a row and it will be completely different show.
Speaker 1: Pearl Jam does the same. Eddie writes the set list
Speaker 1: a few hours before the show and then post it online.
Speaker 1: I think it would suck because I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you've got fifteen to twenty albums and you're like, I
Speaker 1: can't fucking remember how this song goes. Got Stone Gossard
Speaker 1: back there trying to figure out how he played it
Speaker 1: in the first place. It's cool though as a fan.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not mad at Jojo good on her. Also,
Speaker 2: you messaged me on Instagram this video, which is funny
Speaker 2: because I had actually independently seen it already. You sent
Speaker 2: me a video of Jessica Simpson performing earlier this month
Speaker 2: at south By Southwest And what did you say?
Speaker 1: What a talent?
Speaker 2: I actually thought she sounded good, did you yes?
Speaker 1: The clip I was watching, I was like, h this
Speaker 1: is something.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm always rooting for Jessica. I think
Speaker 2: she is talented, and I thought she sounded good. All right.
Speaker 2: In more music related news, Sean Kingston remember him? He
Speaker 2: had a hit. I think it was like in two
Speaker 2: thousand and seven or two thousand and eight, a long
Speaker 2: time ago. Now, oh no, you beautiful girls.
Speaker 1: Great song.
Speaker 2: That was a good song. It went number one on
Speaker 2: the Hot one hundred. It was a real and a
Speaker 2: big hit song. Yeah, big song. He has just been
Speaker 2: found guilty of wire fraud, four counts of wire fraud
Speaker 2: and an additional count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Speaker 2: His mother was also found guilty. And here's the craziest part.
Speaker 2: They are now facing up to a hundred years in prison.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Each charge carries a maximum sentence of years in prison.
Speaker 2: So they were found guilty of five charges. And I
Speaker 2: should have mentioned this was in federal court. The Feds
Speaker 2: don't fuck around. It's shocking to me that he's facing
Speaker 2: this much time because he's only accused of stealing a
Speaker 2: million dollars worth of goods. He would defraud people like
Speaker 2: a jeweler and a car company. And yes, a million
Speaker 2: dollars is a lot of money for all of us,
Speaker 2: but it's not a lot of money if you're stealing it.
Speaker 2: That was my point. And to possibly face decades in
Speaker 2: prison for just a million dollars, that seems excessive. But
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna do some real time if he's
Speaker 2: literally guilty of five counts and it's a twenty year
Speaker 2: maximum for each, like, I think the minimum he'll face
Speaker 2: is at least ten years, five years. I don't fucking know.
Speaker 1: It's up to a judge and intent, and they always
Speaker 1: publish the maximum. No one ever serves the maximum unless
Speaker 1: it's like some heinous crime. He's not a criminal, right,
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. He'll end up doing three years,
Speaker 1: and he'll get probation or something and I'll have to
Speaker 1: pay back the money.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, three years seems sensible, but not more
Speaker 2: than five, I would say. I don't know, it just
Speaker 2: seems crazy. All right, let's take some calls, OK, you.
Speaker 3: Want to hear from us. It's JENNI, first time Florida.
Speaker 3: I'm a Patreon subscriber. I loved the last episode because
Speaker 3: you guys were just like it felt so like intimate.
Speaker 3: It felt like they're in the room. You guys are
Speaker 3: just chilling. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was great.
Speaker 3: The energy was so good. I love the content. I
Speaker 3: don't know, like you guys have relationship has been I
Speaker 3: don't know, like on a good level. And it gives
Speaker 3: me a little dopamine fix. And I love it and
Speaker 3: I love you guys much, love much A creepy. If
Speaker 3: you are thinking about being a Patreon supporter, stop thinking
Speaker 3: about it and go do it.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, that's the best patreon dot com slash
Speaker 2: perez He'll yes.
Speaker 1: If that's not a commercial for the show, I don't
Speaker 1: know what is.
Speaker 2: We love it. Thank you. Hi. My name's Kara.
Speaker 3: I'm calling from Seattle.
Speaker 4: I was listening to press talk about all Cleena's new
Speaker 4: songs and trying to connect the dots to how they
Speaker 4: are or are not about Hailey and Justin, and I
Speaker 4: thought one thing that's interesting that nobody is pointing out
Speaker 4: is that in her song Luviy Love Me, which we
Speaker 4: all know is about Justin, she said at the end
Speaker 4: of the song, now everything is closed and done, this
Speaker 4: chapter is over. And then at the end of her
Speaker 4: new song, how does it feel to be forgotten? She says,
Speaker 4: now everything is said and done, everything is forgotten at
Speaker 4: the end, which seems extremely similar and not like it's
Speaker 4: a coincidence.
Speaker 2: Well that just you know, reaffirms what I said. It's like,
Speaker 2: I think she's moved on and just strategically did this
Speaker 2: on purpose to get people talking and shout out to her.
Speaker 2: Because it worked, she didn't, unfortunately get the number one album.
Speaker 2: We talked about that on a recent episode Playboy CARTI
Speaker 2: did get number one, however, the projections for Selena increased.
Speaker 2: It was allegedly she was originally going to debut to
Speaker 2: ninety six thousand, which was great, but she ended up
Speaker 2: doing one hundred and twenty k her first week. Love
Speaker 2: that seventy one thousand in pure sales, so like vinyl
Speaker 2: or CDs or whatever. So for an artist that's been
Speaker 2: around releasing music for close to twenty years, she's been
Speaker 2: doing music for that long. You know, her first hit,
Speaker 2: that song Naturally, I think that came out in two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine, sixteen years ago. So kudos to her,
Speaker 2: you know, to have a career in pop that's so ageist,
Speaker 2: and that run is more successful than Katy Perry's. That's
Speaker 2: pretty wild to think.
Speaker 1: Well, she's out there promoting it too. I mean, she's
Speaker 1: doing a lot of press and interviews and talking about it.
Speaker 1: It's weird when she does interviews though I've been watching her.
Speaker 1: She doesn't really open her mouth anymore.
Speaker 2: I know. I noticed that too, the way she notices so's.
Speaker 1: It's like she'll be like, you know, we we've went
Speaker 1: on the new album and I really something to do
Speaker 1: with love and Benny.
Speaker 2: And you know she's been open about being bipolar, so
Speaker 2: it might be medication for her mental health.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, I mean I've interviewed her before and
Speaker 1: she's perfectly normal.
Speaker 2: Was an I think it might be that.
Speaker 1: Hmm, all right, let's wrap this poppy up.
Speaker 2: Well, we will see some of you on Thursday. Have
Speaker 2: a wonderful week. Appreciate you all.
Speaker 1: Take care guys.
