Speaker 1: You want from Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: PHP one and only, world famous Perez Hilton.
Speaker 3: Everybody, welcome to the php A booker. There's Perez. What
Speaker 3: do you have on tap for us today?
Speaker 4: Some maybe not surprising, but some bittersweet Sabrina Carpenter news,
Speaker 4: some very sad Shawn Mendez news to get to. Also
Speaker 4: an update on Lady Gaga if you listened to our
Speaker 4: Patreon development there, and also the very latest with Benefer,
Speaker 4: which is shocking to a lot of people. All that
Speaker 4: and more. I went to go see Richard Marx over
Speaker 4: the weekend and I just love rich I love him
Speaker 4: because you know, I grew up with his music, but
Speaker 4: I had never seen him in concert before, like two
Speaker 4: years ago was the first time. And he is so dynamic,
Speaker 4: like engaging, He's got his charismatic and he's really funny.
Speaker 3: That's the thing about him. I mean, he has a
Speaker 3: wit about him. He comes out and he's like, we're
Speaker 3: about the yacht rock the shit out of.
Speaker 1: Tonight, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like he always has these funny one liners and is
Speaker 3: he does he have somebody opening?
Speaker 1: Because he was out with uh not opening.
Speaker 4: It was like it was really interesting because you know,
Speaker 4: I didn't really go for this other guy. Nothing against him.
Speaker 4: He's performing with Rick Springfield, right, they do it simultaneously
Speaker 4: like together. It's just the two. It's just the two
Speaker 4: of them acoustic and one will do one song, the
Speaker 4: other one will do another song.
Speaker 1: Interesting a song each.
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't really know Rick Springfield's music, but
Speaker 4: I still enjoyed it. I mean, obviously I know Jesse's Girl,
Speaker 4: but that's literally the only song I knew.
Speaker 1: You know, Don't Talk to Strangers.
Speaker 4: No, I did not know a single other song he has,
Speaker 4: like ten number one. His big album came out in
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty one. I was three years old. But it
Speaker 4: was a great show, fun time. Let's get right into it. First,
Speaker 4: some music news. I forget when we talked about it,
Speaker 4: but I know that we mentioned Sean Mendes on our show.
Speaker 4: He released this new music that I said, you know,
Speaker 4: I remember it because he corrected me on the pronunciation.
Speaker 4: I said. It reminded me of Noah Khan. Light like
Speaker 4: Noah Noah Khan's little brother.
Speaker 1: Well that's a good thing, isn't it.
Speaker 3: But not as good no his little brother, but the
Speaker 3: little brother that doesn't make music that.
Speaker 4: Good exactly not that it's bad either. I'm not saying
Speaker 4: that he released two new songs and not that they're bad.
Speaker 4: They're just not that good. And I'm waiting for the
Speaker 4: final numbers. But based on what I saw last night,
Speaker 4: one of the two new songs that he released is
Speaker 4: probably not even going to chart on the Hot one hundred,
Speaker 4: and the second song is going to debut in the
Speaker 4: eighty something range. I'm always fascinating to see how you know,
Speaker 4: just three or four years ago, you could be a
Speaker 4: superstar and now, like Lady Perry, like you're struggling to
Speaker 4: even chart on the Hot one hundred. Sean Mendes has
Speaker 4: one of the biggest songs of all time with I
Speaker 4: Mean like You Singorita was the song of the year.
Speaker 4: It was a monsters ginormous hit. And now where are
Speaker 4: your fucking fans? Yeah, I'm always baffled by that, and
Speaker 4: especially because like the song's not bad, it's just very mediocre,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna say it's maybe also just he wasn't
Speaker 4: hungry enough, like sometimes artists of this stature, they don't
Speaker 4: want to put in the work. You gotta fucking do
Speaker 4: radio stations, you gotta do multiple TV, you gotta there's
Speaker 4: no sure thing anymore.
Speaker 3: You're right, he didn't put in the work. Well, remember
Speaker 3: he tapped out for quite some time.
Speaker 4: Not that like two years.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a.
Speaker 3: Long time to be away, especially coming off of pandemic
Speaker 3: when everyone.
Speaker 1: Was tapped out.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, you know, I think you really gotta
Speaker 3: go out there and show face and keep writing and
Speaker 3: work with some people. You know, A guy like him
Speaker 3: could work with anybody.
Speaker 1: That he wants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's talented, he really is. He definitely has it.
Speaker 3: He has the look, he can play, you know, he's
Speaker 3: interesting and you need good songs though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's still young, because I know that we're
Speaker 4: very youth focused. He's only like twenty four, twenty five,
Speaker 4: twenty six around there. So anyways, hopefully, you know what,
Speaker 4: hopefully nothing. He's doing what he wants. He's also such
Speaker 4: a big star he can do whatever he wants.
Speaker 3: I mean, once you're a big star, you're a big star.
Speaker 3: It's not like him and Katie Perry are no longer famous.
Speaker 3: They can still get into any room they want to
Speaker 3: for the rest of their lives probably, so take it
Speaker 3: for what it's worth.
Speaker 1: He's still fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. In more music news, which makes me so
Speaker 4: happy to talk about. On our Patreon, we both shared
Speaker 4: our thoughts about the new Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars song.
Speaker 4: We won't repeat it, but if you want to hear it,
Speaker 4: you can go to patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton's
Speaker 4: like However, I will share an update based on the
Speaker 4: numbers that I saw over the weekend and talking to
Speaker 4: my industry experts. Not a Katie Perry situation. I'm actually impressed.
Speaker 4: I think the song is doing better than I thought
Speaker 4: it would.
Speaker 1: It's a great song.
Speaker 4: I said. We weren't gonna give our thoughts.
Speaker 1: Jesus, what should I do?
Speaker 3: Just sit here as a fucking mute while you ramble
Speaker 3: on about some fucking numbers. I mean, there's an exciting show.
Speaker 4: You don't have to give your thoughts on the song.
Speaker 3: Again, God didn't give my thoughts on the song.
Speaker 4: He said it's a great song.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I think I'm allowed to come on a podcast and
Speaker 3: say a song is a great song without sharing things.
Speaker 3: And I don't quite give a fuck that I just
Speaker 3: said it only on the Patreon. I'll say it everywhere
Speaker 3: and anywhere the radio, on social media, to you, to whomever,
Speaker 3: it's a great fucking song. And I didn't say it
Speaker 3: was a great song on the Patreon either. I said
Speaker 3: I like it, let me let it settle in a
Speaker 3: little bit, which it has, and to me it prints
Speaker 3: it's fucking great.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a great song.
Speaker 3: You have terrible taste. So who cares what you think.
Speaker 4: It's gonna do? Somewhere in the top twenty right now,
Speaker 4: it's looking at number eleven or twelve. Wait, but you
Speaker 4: know what that means. If it's looking at an eleven
Speaker 4: or twelve debut, they're gonna fucking make it go top ten. Somehow,
Speaker 4: they will pull some trick up their sleeves and make
Speaker 4: it go top ten.
Speaker 1: Whose song is it?
Speaker 4: It's her song?
Speaker 1: It is her song, right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Does she typically care about things like that? Because I
Speaker 3: don't ever recall her caring.
Speaker 4: The label cares. I think she cares. I think he
Speaker 4: cares too.
Speaker 3: See, I don't think the label gives a shit because
Speaker 3: they haven't been chasing records for her and quite some time.
Speaker 3: Because that's not the mandate from her. She just seems
Speaker 3: to be above it. She's just like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: do what Gaga does. You know, she doesn't chase singles
Speaker 3: all right, or records or charts or anything.
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons I love her.
Speaker 3: It's not this fake phony put on I'm gonna you know,
Speaker 3: I gotta be number one. She's like, i'd gotta be great,
Speaker 3: and that's what she seems to do.
Speaker 4: So question then follow up. If it debuts at eleven
Speaker 4: or twelve, and it peaks at eleven or twelve, is
Speaker 4: not able to crack the top ten ever on the
Speaker 4: Billboard Hot one hundred, what do you say about that?
Speaker 3: Every record is different. I don't think a debut means no.
Speaker 4: No I said. I said, it peaks and isn't able
Speaker 4: to go higher than eleven or twelve.
Speaker 3: There's many many songs that never appeared in the top
Speaker 3: ten that you could say are hits after a long
Speaker 3: runway of time of just living in the ether.
Speaker 1: It depends. Once again, I.
Speaker 3: Always say, let's just see, let's just see what it does.
Speaker 4: So in order for you to say it's a hit.
Speaker 3: It has to resonate somewhere. I'm sorry, not somewhere, it
Speaker 3: has to resonate everywhere. It has to be something everybody says, Oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I know that, or that's good, or it's touched me
Speaker 3: somehow outside of my fandom.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if that's gonna happen, but we'll see.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's two incredibly big artists there. It's hard
Speaker 3: not to especially with the type of song it is,
Speaker 3: it's going to be hard not to permeate pop culture
Speaker 3: with it.
Speaker 4: I think you're wrong. My industry sources expect that it'll
Speaker 4: plummet on week two, So I guess the real test
Speaker 4: will be week five, six, seven, eight.
Speaker 3: Like I said, it's not one size fits all with
Speaker 3: the Hot one hundred, it just isn't you have a
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift debuts in all ten positions of the Hot
Speaker 3: one hundred, and there wasn't one hit on the entire
Speaker 3: ten songs. So it doesn't mean anything. Everything is a gauge.
Speaker 3: It's a piece of a puzzle, and at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, you put the puzzle together and you say, oh,
Speaker 3: what does it look like right now? The first piece
Speaker 3: has been put on the board, and that's all that
Speaker 3: the charts are and what they mean. When it's like
Speaker 3: a Katie Perry and she puts out a song that
Speaker 3: doesn't land anywhere on the puzzle.
Speaker 1: You're like going, ah, you got problems here.
Speaker 3: You know, when you're that big of an artist and
Speaker 3: you have that much muscle behind you.
Speaker 4: Well, Speaking of Taylor Swift, she is number one again
Speaker 4: on the Billboard Album chart for a very impressive week,
Speaker 4: number fifteen, on an album that Booker says is not
Speaker 4: a hit album.
Speaker 1: I said, it doesn't have any hits on.
Speaker 4: It, so it is a hit out.
Speaker 1: It could be a hit album if you want to go.
Speaker 3: I mean to say, an album's fifteen weeks on the chart,
Speaker 3: I can't say it's a stiff.
Speaker 1: I said, there's no hit songs.
Speaker 4: On fifteen weeks at number one.
Speaker 1: So I mean she has a lot of fans.
Speaker 3: Okay, outside of your fan base, that's how you permeate.
Speaker 3: She just happens to have the biggest fan base in
Speaker 3: the world right now.
Speaker 4: At what number of number weeks at number one.
Speaker 1: Once again, I guess you can't hear what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It's all a piece of a larger puzzle. That is
Speaker 3: a very large piece of the puzzle.
Speaker 4: It's said on our Patreon if the album sucked, the
Speaker 4: fans wouldn't continue to stream it.
Speaker 3: It's not all about streams. It's all about purchases and Vinyl.
Speaker 3: Yes it is.
Speaker 4: I actually no, it's you're so your next topic.
Speaker 1: Please, you don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: You're you're wrong in an unpressed it is not about
Speaker 4: to let me say it, in an unprecedented move. I
Speaker 4: don't know why they get I guess I know why
Speaker 4: they did this. Listen Billboard last night when they announced
Speaker 4: that Taylor was number one. They wanted to somehow, I
Speaker 4: guess clear the air or don't or maybe they felt
Speaker 4: pressure by Team Taylor. They put like a little asterisk.
Speaker 4: Billboard said the album would have been number one even
Speaker 4: if it didn't sell any digital copies this past week.
Speaker 1: Who cares about digital copies?
Speaker 3: Nobody's buying digital copies or copies outside of streaming.
Speaker 4: It was Vinyl. I mean maybe Vinyl.
Speaker 1: Okaye, Vinyl counts.
Speaker 4: Who the fuck is buying her Vinyl? Five months? The kids,
Speaker 4: every single one of them, the album already had them
Speaker 4: on their walls.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but any Taylor fans I never has
Speaker 3: four of her albums on the wall as art.
Speaker 4: Anyways, I don't want to keep having this conversation.
Speaker 1: They quick bringing it up.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm just bringing it up because it's like, Wow,
Speaker 4: another week at number one, you're so right Okay anyways,
Speaker 4: and at number two this week. I just mentioned that
Speaker 4: to get me to the number two album of the week,
Speaker 4: which is Chapel Roan. Congratulations to her full of hit songs.
Speaker 4: By the way, nearly a year after releasing her album,
Speaker 4: this past week, she moved seventy five thousand plus units
Speaker 4: in its like month Tenry Levin or something. Yeah, unprecedented.
Speaker 3: I think she'll be number one for the next five
Speaker 3: or six weeks, I hope.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 3: As much as we know about Chapel roone and we're
Speaker 3: seeing it in social media and whatever, were people in
Speaker 3: the biz, the masses still don't know who she is.
Speaker 3: And once that happens and these songs really kick into
Speaker 3: that next mom gear or people that aren't quite paying attention,
Speaker 3: it's going to be number one for a long time.
Speaker 3: But there's hit songs behind it too, because you look
Speaker 3: at the songs in the hot one hundred, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of them.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, no, very exciting, very exciting.
Speaker 1: That's the difference between the two.
Speaker 4: Congratulations to her. Also more music related news that's couples
Speaker 4: related Sabrina Carpenter. It's released a week for her congratulations
Speaker 4: something positive. Unfortunately, according to multiple reports, the Espresso singer
Speaker 4: and her boyfriend who was in her music video, The
Speaker 4: Kiss of Death actor Barry Key. I don't know. I
Speaker 4: can't fucking pronounce Kogan Kiogin.
Speaker 1: I thought it was k I have no idea he's Irish.
Speaker 4: Maybe k e o g h a n kit Keegan Kegan.
Speaker 1: I think it is okay, go with that.
Speaker 4: He was in The Batman. He was in Saltburn, was
Speaker 4: a big movie with people of a certain I never wat.
Speaker 4: He was in Eternals, which I saw. That movie sucked balls.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I don't think I ever heard of that Eternals.
Speaker 4: It's a Marvel movie. It was the worst Marvel movie
Speaker 4: I've ever seen. Sabrina and him had been dating for
Speaker 4: a while, but they just broke up. Apparently she's just
Speaker 4: over well the long distance. You know. They spend time together,
Speaker 4: but he's mainly based out of Ireland. He has a
Speaker 4: young child, allegedly. I don't know the timing of it all.
Speaker 4: Some people think he might have left his baby mama
Speaker 4: for Sabrina, but I'm not saying. I'm not saying that
Speaker 4: happened he could have been over with the baby mama already.
Speaker 4: Yeah right, he does have a young, young, young, young
Speaker 4: child at home and apparently one of the other extenuating
Speaker 4: factors he's Irish. He likes to drink, and he gets
Speaker 4: very sloppy when drunk. Key parties a little too hard,
Speaker 4: and it's like that song of hers, Please Please Please
Speaker 4: came to life. He embarrassed her motherfucker. So sad there.
Speaker 4: But on the flip side, some positive music related couple's
Speaker 4: news and it's a full circle moment. Doja Cat has
Speaker 4: been spending some time with British actor Joseph Quinn. You
Speaker 4: probably don't know who he is, but a lot of
Speaker 4: people know him from Stranger Things. He's that's a huge show.
Speaker 1: Oh I watch that? Which one is he?
Speaker 4: I don't know because all stranger is Yeah, she's.
Speaker 1: With him, huh, no kidding.
Speaker 4: He's older, thirty years old. And what's funny is that
Speaker 4: two years ago Doja Cat slid into Noah Schnap's DMS.
Speaker 4: He's one of the kids on Stranger Things, and she
Speaker 4: told him tell Joseph to hit me up. Really yeah,
Speaker 4: but then remember pretty funny, No, but then it became
Speaker 4: like this big thing where Noah talked about this somehow
Speaker 4: I forget where he I mean, he might have talked
Speaker 4: about it on an interview or something, and that pissed
Speaker 4: Dojacat off. So she called him out and it was
Speaker 4: like this is like it was a big thing back
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two. We probably even talked about it
Speaker 4: on the podcast.
Speaker 1: This feels familiar to me.
Speaker 4: You know Dojiacat being messy, you know, typical Dojiacat.
Speaker 1: Well, that's familiar.
Speaker 4: But now they've been spotted over the last two weeks
Speaker 4: multiple times hanging out in London, and just over the
Speaker 4: weekend they were spotted canoodling at some establishment. I think
Speaker 4: it might be a bar restaurant. I don't remember exactly where.
Speaker 4: So just you know, good on them making it work.
Speaker 4: Keep an eye on that new couple alert. That's funny
Speaker 4: bringing it down for a moment. Unfortunately, we spoke a
Speaker 4: lot of Matthew Perry on the Patreon show Patreon dot
Speaker 4: com slash Perez Hilton. But there's a new little bit
Speaker 4: of information that makes this is making me scratch my head.
Speaker 4: I'm not a perfect person. What I like to acknowledge
Speaker 4: that get out. I believe in discrimination.
Speaker 1: I'll follow you down this trail. Where are we going here?
Speaker 4: A couple things. I believe in discriminating against old doctors.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna have an eighty something year old doctor
Speaker 4: perform a procedure on me. I literally just saw this
Speaker 4: art headline about this eighty four year old doctor did
Speaker 4: not have his hearing aids on and couldn't hear a
Speaker 4: patient screaming in pain when he was getting a colonoscopy.
Speaker 4: I'm like, that's on you, bro, I'm not getting I'm
Speaker 4: not getting a colonoscopy from eighty four year old. So
Speaker 4: I believe in discriminating against old doctors. I believe in
Speaker 4: this is one of my This is gonna be one
Speaker 4: of our best segments ever. I believe in discriminating against
Speaker 4: fat personal trainers. I'm not gonna have I'm not gonna
Speaker 4: be a I'm not gonna have a fat personal trainer
Speaker 4: train me, Like, like, what the fuck? And then that
Speaker 4: leads me to the Matthew Perry of it all. Okay,
Speaker 4: over the weekend, we found out that Matthew Perry met
Speaker 4: his drug dealer in rehab.
Speaker 1: That's wild.
Speaker 4: I believe in discriminating against drug dealers in rehab. I'm
Speaker 4: not saying that you should they shouldn't get treatment, but
Speaker 4: I believe there should be treatment facilities, a few in
Speaker 4: the country where they could fly to that specialize in
Speaker 4: treating just drug dealers.
Speaker 3: What La la Landy you live in No, but I'm serious,
Speaker 3: where there's programs for everything. Every junkie is just a junkie. Okay,
Speaker 3: you'll do anything. I said this on the last show.
Speaker 3: You'll do anything to get it. It doesn't matter if
Speaker 3: you have money or don't have money.
Speaker 4: I think that they should be discriminated against. Like what
Speaker 4: if they're faking it? Like what if they're not really
Speaker 4: trying to get better and they're just trying to get clients.
Speaker 1: Listen, it's on you.
Speaker 4: I still don't like it, that's on it.
Speaker 3: I don't like the drug dealers are always out there.
Speaker 1: I'm always going to be knocking on the door.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, keep them away from these very vulnerable people.
Speaker 1: Well you can't. That's the whole point. You can't.
Speaker 4: That's bullshit.
Speaker 1: Well the world is bullshit. You're finally awake.
Speaker 4: I don't like it, all right, As I predicted on
Speaker 4: our Patreon show, I said that over the weekend, the
Speaker 4: whole Blake Lively of it all would die down.
Speaker 1: You're high.
Speaker 3: It's everywhere online. There's stories everywhere.
Speaker 4: I set you like five. That's because you're behind all
Speaker 4: of the fucking tiktoks you sent me. I had already
Speaker 4: seen a day or two prior.
Speaker 3: It's the hottest story in the world. And it's like
Speaker 3: you didn't even put it. He does this thing just
Speaker 3: so he could feel like he's right. It's the biggest
Speaker 3: story in the world right now. Now, Mike Lively, there's
Speaker 3: nothing that you've mentioned on this show, nothing that you've
Speaker 3: said on this show so far that's bigger than Blake
Speaker 3: Lively right now, name one thing.
Speaker 4: I'll wait that story. There haven't been many developments.
Speaker 3: It's not simmered down. What's the new thing that's knocked
Speaker 3: it off the shelf? You know how this works.
Speaker 4: I didn't say the story was over. I said it
Speaker 4: died down, meaning it's not as big as it was.
Speaker 4: So it has died it down.
Speaker 3: I don't think it has. I think it's still exactly
Speaker 3: the same. No, I think people still can't get enough
Speaker 3: of this story.
Speaker 4: No way, it's people. I'm over it personally, and I'm
Speaker 4: and I love the drama.
Speaker 3: You're fucking on TikTok last night.
Speaker 1: Talking about it. What are you talking about? You're so
Speaker 1: full of shit.
Speaker 3: You were talking about it last night because people were
Speaker 3: saying before fucking.
Speaker 1: Bed I punch in number one.
Speaker 3: I hear you crying like a bitch, I don't have
Speaker 3: any money, Like that's good content. Number one and number two.
Speaker 3: Then you're talking about Blake Lively.
Speaker 1: So stop with this.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm just saying this so I could be right
Speaker 3: for what I said on Friday show.
Speaker 4: You're wrong.
Speaker 1: It's the biggest story in the world, so.
Speaker 4: Please, Oh God, you're so crazy. It's so right. It's
Speaker 4: not the biggest story anymore. There are some updates, but
Speaker 4: not a lot like last week it was every day,
Speaker 4: multiple updates, Like I'm in this bus. You're not in
Speaker 4: the industry.
Speaker 1: You have to be in the industry to have a feed.
Speaker 4: You're not aware anyways the updates, So.
Speaker 3: You think there's no no what tuned in right now
Speaker 3: to hear some Blake Lively updates because you're on planet cracked,
Speaker 3: by the way.
Speaker 1: That was Patreon on Friday.
Speaker 3: So the last time we talked was a week ago
Speaker 3: when the Blake Lively story wasn't even really a story.
Speaker 4: It was already a story.
Speaker 3: One of the people here are even caught up.
Speaker 4: It was a big story. We we talked about it
Speaker 4: on last Monday, barely Anyways, the updates that journalists that
Speaker 4: went viral last week for the interview from twenty sixteen,
Speaker 4: where Blake Lively some would say fat shamed her. I
Speaker 4: would say that as well. To her credit, she's milking it.
Speaker 4: I respect the hustle. She's given a couple of interviews
Speaker 4: that I'm aware of, at least two. And one of
Speaker 4: the reasons she was so bothered by all of this
Speaker 4: is she was congratulating Blake Lively on her pregnancy. She said,
Speaker 4: congratulations on your little bump, and she was very far
Speaker 4: along and had already announced that she was pregnant, and
Speaker 4: then Blake Lively shot back, congratulations on your little bump.
Speaker 4: The journalist has revealed she's infertile, she's not able to
Speaker 4: to have children, so that really that really made her
Speaker 4: feel a certain way. Additionally, an old interview from Blake
Speaker 4: Lively from Oh God, let me see if it says
Speaker 4: the year, let me look at the years of Gossip Girl.
Speaker 4: So that I can get people of time reference. Gossip
Speaker 4: Girl was from two thousand and seven through twenty twelve,
Speaker 4: so a long time ago, Okay, more than twelve years ago,
Speaker 4: and she gave an interview talking about fashion. She says, quote,
Speaker 4: I hope to have a few girls one day. If
Speaker 4: not girls, they'd better be trannies, because I have some
Speaker 4: amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated.
Speaker 4: So a lot of people are upset that she used
Speaker 4: the word trannies in that, but I will remind everybody
Speaker 4: that Rupe Paul used to use that word all the
Speaker 4: time back in two seven through twenty twelve, even in
Speaker 4: the gay community. It was a prevalently used word, and
Speaker 4: not necessarily as a slur. So as a member of
Speaker 4: the LGBTQ community, I'm not bothered by this. Right, people
Speaker 4: are trying to drag her for it, because you know,
Speaker 4: she's not having a good month, and this is not
Speaker 4: something I think that she should be crucified for.
Speaker 3: Personally, I hate when somebody digs things up from as
Speaker 3: you said, let's let's say the closest here is twenty twelve, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: when it's over a decade ago. The lens of what's
Speaker 3: acceptable or what we should have moved on from or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's a moving target. It always changes, and this whole
Speaker 3: digging up things that people have said just seems dumb
Speaker 3: to me. So I'm gonna have to be on.
Speaker 1: Your side on this one and her side.
Speaker 4: Awesome. Those are the only updates I have. Do you
Speaker 4: have any other Plague Lively?
Speaker 1: I like the story where CED was trolling her a
Speaker 1: little bit. Was that a real post?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a real post. I mean, but that's
Speaker 4: the thing. It's like, that's not really like a development,
Speaker 4: that's not a that's just you know, people piling on. Yeah,
Speaker 4: CNN was talking about her wearing very expensive jeans at
Speaker 4: one of the press events and like over ten thousand
Speaker 4: dollars or something, but I doubt she bought them. They
Speaker 4: lent her that they lent these big actors clothes to
Speaker 4: wear at the premieres.
Speaker 3: And she's like, a It's funny because to me, she
Speaker 3: was on that show right and then over Like, if
Speaker 3: you had to say, you know what's Blake Lively known for?
Speaker 3: I would say, well, she's clearly into fashion, right, Like
Speaker 3: she the met Gala seems to be her thing. You know,
Speaker 3: she gets to go every year, even though she hasn't really.
Speaker 1: Been in anything.
Speaker 3: It hasn't done anything since Gossip Girl except for a
Speaker 3: couple of you know, fleeting roles here and there. But
Speaker 3: to me, she seemed like, I don't know if icon
Speaker 3: is the word, but like a fashion a ficionado anyhow,
Speaker 3: And then she gets in the Taylor Swift squad, and
Speaker 3: then she gets in this movie. I don't know, it
Speaker 3: just feels like everyone was waiting to pile on her
Speaker 3: for some reason because she seems.
Speaker 1: To bother everyone. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I can't understand why, but she seemingly has bothered a
Speaker 3: lot of people for a long time. Because I equate
Speaker 3: it to like j Lo, It's like, I know Jen
Speaker 3: and I know she's not this person that everyone makes
Speaker 3: her out to be.
Speaker 1: She's just not.
Speaker 3: She's more oblivious than anything, and she's nice. She's a
Speaker 3: nice person. So it's hard for me to kind of
Speaker 3: see that one. But I could see the bubbling up
Speaker 3: right like I could see the disdain for the I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's for the opulence.
Speaker 1: Or what it is.
Speaker 3: It just rubs people wrong. So this one's been interesting
Speaker 3: to watch anyhow.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I would say it's jealousy, but I don't think
Speaker 4: it's jealousy here, No, well.
Speaker 3: There could be some of it hanging out with Taylor
Speaker 3: Swift married to Ryan Reynolds, recent billionaire.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's jealousy. But this is a good
Speaker 4: segue to a question from a Patreon supporter. Anna Green says,
Speaker 4: I know you've already spoken on this, but TikTok has
Speaker 4: taken me down a major blake lively hole. What do
Speaker 4: you two think she should do as she needs some
Speaker 4: major crisis management. I love this question. Here's the first
Speaker 4: thing I think, or not first thing. I don't think
Speaker 4: she should do too much. I think she should do
Speaker 4: one thing, either release a statement or give an interview.
Speaker 4: I would advise her to release a statement just because
Speaker 4: she can control it. I would advise her against releasing
Speaker 4: it as a video because that'll be scrutinized and analyzed
Speaker 4: like she's not coming across as sincere blahlahlah. So a
Speaker 4: written statement, and in that written statement she needs to
Speaker 4: take accountability for some of this. She needs to say
Speaker 4: I'd like to apologize to Justin for ab or C.
Speaker 4: She could also be a little bit defensive and be
Speaker 4: like a lot of what is being written is wrong
Speaker 4: and hurtful, but I would like to say that I
Speaker 4: could have been more considerate here, or I shouldn't have
Speaker 4: overstepped this or whatever. If she just takes some accountability
Speaker 4: and apologizes to Justin Baldoni, that will go a very
Speaker 4: long way. But I don't think she'll do that because
Speaker 4: she's fucking Blake Lively.
Speaker 3: I agree with the latter of what you just said.
Speaker 3: It'd be nice if she did. I don't foresee it.
Speaker 3: How many times do you see a billionaire going I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: They just don't do it. It's not like her movie
Speaker 3: career is gonna suffer, because it's been suffering for a
Speaker 3: fucking decade. And let's be honest, this movie, this may
Speaker 3: be the best thing that ever happened for this movie.
Speaker 3: That woman has a lot of fans that read her books,
Speaker 3: Kellen being one of them. She went to the movie.
Speaker 3: She would have went whether Blake was in it or not.
Speaker 3: So there is a niche amount of people that would
Speaker 3: follow this story and maybe go check out the cinema
Speaker 3: of it all. But it didn't need Blake Lively, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean? It could have been anybody that
Speaker 3: was in the movie, and she caught some bullets for
Speaker 3: her behavior around a book that was coveted by those fans,
Speaker 3: And it's just a lot of that, and it's snowballed.
Speaker 1: Outside of that.
Speaker 3: It's that oozing you say, not jealousy, that oozing something
Speaker 3: that I can't quite put my finger on to distain
Speaker 3: for her, all of that just sort of steamrolls into
Speaker 3: something else, right, And I think she should just I
Speaker 3: think she will just do nothing.
Speaker 4: But what do you think she should do?
Speaker 1: Maybe nothing?
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree, I think she should put out
Speaker 3: a statement, but I don't think she wants to admit
Speaker 3: she's wrong about anything.
Speaker 4: I believe that, Yeah, I believe when.
Speaker 3: People have that kind of money and that kind of like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, feigned power, whatever, they don't do that.
Speaker 4: It won't affect her career. But she's lost a lot
Speaker 4: of the public.
Speaker 1: It might.
Speaker 3: Because I ask you a question, will she be invited
Speaker 3: to the met galap this year?
Speaker 4: Of course? Seriously?
Speaker 3: Because if everyone dislikes her, do you think.
Speaker 4: She's lost the public? Not the media and the and
Speaker 4: fellow celebs.
Speaker 3: Is that important for Anna Winter or whoever puts it on.
Speaker 4: Anna Winter doesn't give a fuck. Anna Winter, that's my question.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 4: No, no, she doesn't give a fuck. I actually think well,
Speaker 4: first of all, I said this on the Patreon. I
Speaker 4: think she's the one that needs a crisis PR manager,
Speaker 4: not justin Baldoni.
Speaker 3: He needed it in the beginning because he was being smeared.
Speaker 3: They needed to guide the narrative into the right direction,
Speaker 3: which is the factual direction, and they did a very
Speaker 3: successful job of that. They were like whoa, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 3: wa time out, Wait a minute, this isn't what's going on.
Speaker 3: As I alluded to on this show last week, this
Speaker 3: isn't what was going on. It was the other way
Speaker 3: and that has been uncovered. So yeah, he did need it,
Speaker 3: and yeah it worked.
Speaker 4: So one of the reasons I think she might actually
Speaker 4: release a statement is because all of this, and actually
Speaker 4: this is a great thing that we haven't talked about before.
Speaker 4: Like I said, I do think she's bulletproof dot dot
Speaker 4: dot because of her husband and so long as Ryan
Speaker 4: Reynolds can get asses in seats, they're both bulletproof. But
Speaker 4: there's one thing about celebrities of this nature. They just
Speaker 4: want to be liked. They all want, they need to
Speaker 4: be liked, and being liked is good for their business.
Speaker 4: It helps. And the problem is what I'm getting at
Speaker 4: is not only is she disliked right now, Ryan Reynolds
Speaker 4: still liked, but people on his posts on social media
Speaker 4: are roasting his wife and that has not died down.
Speaker 4: If you go look on his posts, the comments are
Speaker 4: about her and very negative. And if she releases a statement,
Speaker 4: that will help not just her, it will help her
Speaker 4: husband too. So I think by the end of this
Speaker 4: week we might get a statement. Might I'm still not
Speaker 4: sure it will happen, but we'll see.
Speaker 3: Let me ask another question. No one's asked this question.
Speaker 3: What does Taylor Swift do nothing.
Speaker 4: She's a loyal friend, she stands with a friend, but
Speaker 4: she's not going to distance herself from Blake.
Speaker 1: That's my question.
Speaker 3: So let's say it's Week one of the NFL.
Speaker 4: Hello, fucking Taylor Swift went balls to the wall with
Speaker 4: Maddie Heally. Knowing the response that was getting, she didn't
Speaker 4: give a fuck. I love that about her. She's gonna
Speaker 4: do what she wants to do and she's going to
Speaker 4: be friends with her date whomever she wants to fucking date.
Speaker 3: Guess my question is will she be in the booth
Speaker 3: week one of whatever Chiefs game there is?
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe not in Kansas City, but if there's a
Speaker 4: game in Jersey, then she'll bring Blake Lively. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so okay, all right.
Speaker 3: By the way, the juiciest part of the show you
Speaker 3: guys just heard, you know, the part that pressaid we
Speaker 3: wouldn't talk about.
Speaker 4: I didn't say we were gonna talk about it.
Speaker 1: You said to be died down the most it.
Speaker 4: Has died down.
Speaker 1: It's not died down. It's the same.
Speaker 4: It's not the same. You're insane. Anyways, I'm just gonna
Speaker 4: mention it because somebody on Patreon asked. But I don't
Speaker 4: want to get I don't want to get in the middle.
Speaker 4: Like sometimes shit is so fucking toxic and it drags
Speaker 4: you down, and I don't want to be in the
Speaker 4: middle of this. But I already am in some way.
Speaker 4: Jenna Jamison, the iconic adult film actress, has been married
Speaker 4: to this TikToker already drama because fucking TikTokers are drama
Speaker 4: and thirsty. A woman, a female TikToker named Jesse Lawless,
Speaker 4: And now that two of them have been making very
Speaker 4: public allegations against each other, and I posted a story
Speaker 4: about the allegations that the wife was making. And then
Speaker 4: over the weekend, Jenna Jamison herself sent me a video
Speaker 4: about the wife saying that she I don't want to
Speaker 4: put words into her mouth, but just saying some people
Speaker 4: could interpret it as saying that she raped her. Then
Speaker 4: the fucking wife was blowing up my phone saying it
Speaker 4: was consensual. It was role play and consensual, and like,
Speaker 4: oh my god. So basically, just to sum it all up,
Speaker 4: Jenna Jamison and this TikToker are fucking toxic for each other,
Speaker 4: and I think they should stop talking to each other
Speaker 4: and stop talking about each other publicly. There we go.
Speaker 3: That makes more sense than I think anything you've ever said,
Speaker 3: even bordering on responsible.
Speaker 4: In other toxic news, Halle Berry has gone to court
Speaker 4: seeking full custody of her ten year old son Masseo.
Speaker 4: She had him with ex husband Olivier Martinez, claiming that
Speaker 4: the dad is not being very responsive to Hallie's concerns
Speaker 4: about their child's emotional developmental issues. Is a polite way
Speaker 4: of putting it. She thinks it needs to be addressed,
Speaker 4: and she claims that the educational challenges that she's fought
Speaker 4: to address, like tutoring, educational assessment, etc. Et cetera. That
Speaker 4: the guy has fought her on it, that he just
Speaker 4: wants him to take soccer and stuff like that. So basically,
Speaker 4: she just wants to be able to make all these
Speaker 4: health related decisions for her son. And if what she's
Speaker 4: saying is true, and I think it's a good move.
Speaker 4: So there's that. In other messy news, the estranged brother
Speaker 4: of Ariana Maddox, who has sporadically appeared on vander Pump Rules, Jeremy,
Speaker 4: has been arrested. Jeremy maddis and some people just read
Speaker 4: the headline, but this is why it's important to read
Speaker 4: the actual story. Jeremy Maddox was arrested for pot for marijuana,
Speaker 4: but he was arrested for alleged or attempted marijuana smuggling. Yes,
Speaker 4: it's legal in many parts of the US, but he
Speaker 4: was trying to take it out of the country to Germany.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the laws are are in Germany.
Speaker 3: A lot of those European countries don't fuck around with drugs.
Speaker 4: But also he was an I don't think you're allowed
Speaker 4: to take it out of the country. No, and here's
Speaker 4: the wild part. His luggage was arrested, was possessed, was taken,
Speaker 4: and he had over seventy pounds of marijuana.
Speaker 3: Oh, he's going to jail for a long time, A
Speaker 3: long time, I would say, so seventy pounds, Yeah, of marijuana.
Speaker 3: That's intent to distribute, yes, the country. Yeah, that is
Speaker 3: a that is a huge crime. Wow, federal crime. So
Speaker 3: once you enter an airport, you've entered federal airspace and
Speaker 3: now you're gonna be held by other countries laws and
Speaker 3: international laws. And this guy's in fucking trouble. Ooh, seventy pounds.
Speaker 3: This isn't like at first, I was like, what, he
Speaker 3: had a fucking weed pen and probably forgot about it. No,
Speaker 3: seventy pounds, Like, you're in fucking trouble.
Speaker 4: Pal Oops, good luck. Well, hopefully his sister can.
Speaker 1: His sister ain't got no pool in any of this.
Speaker 4: No. I was gonna say, give him some money for
Speaker 4: a good lawyer. Yeah, but they're estranged, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to jail.
Speaker 4: All right, some sad news and then we'll wrap things
Speaker 4: up with something positive. Rest in peace. Phil Donahue, the
Speaker 4: icon of talk television, has passed away at eighty eight
Speaker 4: years old after a long illness. His family has said
Speaker 4: before we do our last story quick. Thank you to
Speaker 4: some new Patreon support. Thank you to Keelee Vetter, Stephanie Ruis,
Speaker 4: Diana Fernandez. Somewhere in Europe, I see the euro sign.
Speaker 4: Thank you to Allison Gina Carrington. We had a few
Speaker 4: people this week. Appreciate it, really did.
Speaker 1: It's just Blake Lively drama.
Speaker 4: You teased it very well last Monday. Thank you to
Speaker 4: Carrie Lang. Thank you to Monica Rivera, Audrey Nwen, Jen Smith,

Speaker 4: God bless you all. We haven't had a week this
Speaker 4: good in a long time. We love our Patreon supporters,
Speaker 4: We love everybody. We love you listening right now, but
Speaker 4: it really helps if you go to patreon dot com
Speaker 4: slash prest Hilton and sign up. All right, and wrapping
Speaker 4: things up, some very positive Ben and Jen news. Okay,
Speaker 4: over the last week and a half, Ben aff and
Speaker 4: Jennifer Lopez. We're hanging out together twice, not once, but twice,
Speaker 4: So interpret that as you may. I'm viewing that as
Speaker 4: a positive sign.
Speaker 1: I think they're playing us all along.
Speaker 4: Wa wait, what do you mean playing us all along?
Speaker 3: They're playing us like they've never broken up. They are
Speaker 3: taking some time away so he could focus on his sobriety.
Speaker 1: And that is it.
Speaker 4: That's what I've said.
Speaker 3: But that's all he's doing. I don't think that means
Speaker 3: that they're going to break up. I mean they're eventually
Speaker 3: going to break up. Don't get me wrong. I think
Speaker 3: that's all this is.
Speaker 4: Well. I'm happy for them, and.
Speaker 1: I hope they work it out and nice people.
Speaker 4: Let's take some calls.
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, this is Emily from fort Meyer's speech. I
Speaker 5: heard the caller last week about how you guys have
Speaker 5: helped forget throughout hard time in our life possibly, and
Speaker 5: I saw, you know, Sunday night, I go to sleep thinking,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, they're going to be on tomorrow and
Speaker 5: go listen to them, and then Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I'm
Speaker 5: so excited for your Thursday, patriar. But you know, they're awesome,
Speaker 5: and I think that that color reflected how a lot
Speaker 5: of people feel about you guys in your podcast, so
Speaker 5: potos and keeping it on.
Speaker 4: That's so.
Speaker 3: I think she slightly fucked up, though, I mean just
Speaker 3: know in a good way, like she maybe smoked a
Speaker 3: little something, maybe had a couple of drinks.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call those assholes.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, I'll take it. I was high on
Speaker 4: sugar last night when you saw me. I had not
Speaker 4: had anything like that in the longest time. I went
Speaker 4: to this place that sells frozen custard. I had it.
Speaker 4: They have like a it's called Nielsen's. I'm not getting
Speaker 4: paid it Nielsen's frozen custard. They had this thing called
Speaker 4: the Concrete. I was on the most delicious sugar high.
Speaker 4: Oh my god. It was the chocolate with heath toffee.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: I was in heaven at these places, these ice cream shops,
Speaker 3: and what's the other one? Not ice cream but gelato.
Speaker 3: There's a gelato joiner on the corner.
Speaker 1: There's lines down the fucking street. I'm like, are they
Speaker 1: selling crack here?
Speaker 3: But I I guess sugar is a form of crack,
Speaker 3: I think, But I'm thinking about quitting all the shit
Speaker 3: in and open an ice cream shop because they're printing money.
Speaker 4: We should do one in Vegas. Geez, if you move
Speaker 4: to Vegas, we would own this town.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, we'd make a ton of lotles.
Speaker 4: You gotta come to Vegas.
Speaker 1: I got this thing called a contract. I have to
Speaker 1: fucking know.
Speaker 4: Have them move here too. The station here, the ain't
Speaker 4: moving me.
Speaker 1: Shitt's take another call.
Speaker 6: Ayay, just going to say that Rob Schneider is a
Speaker 6: huge asshole. I've seen him twice.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's stop for one second. If the guy's a
Speaker 3: huge asshole, why would you go see him twice.
Speaker 4: Let's let her, let her, let's hear her out.
Speaker 1: I'm just making a point. This guy sticks.
Speaker 3: I think maybe you really like him because you went
Speaker 3: to see him a second.
Speaker 4: If you hear the call, Jesus, he.
Speaker 6: Is a huge maggotard. And he also had a huge
Speaker 6: hypocrit which he touches upon in his material, Like he
Speaker 6: says he hates immigrants, but then says his wife is
Speaker 6: some hot younger immigrants. And for him to go on
Speaker 6: talker cars and that's not a good apology, so on
Speaker 6: some respectable media, it's.
Speaker 1: Not I don't care as a fucking comedian. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of bad comedians in the world.
Speaker 4: He hates immigrants and he's married to an immigrant. That's funny,
Speaker 4: that's rich.
Speaker 3: Part of its probably is rap, but it's, you know,
Speaker 3: probably not a great rap. Like I said, I kind
Speaker 3: of enjoy the guy sometimes because he doesn't make a
Speaker 3: lot of sense.
Speaker 1: But whatever, Hey, guys, I just.
Speaker 3: Wanted to comment on that Blake Lively movie. I have
Speaker 3: a twenty year old and she said there's a lot
Speaker 3: of fans of that book that also did not envision
Speaker 3: Blake Lively in that role. And I don't even think
Speaker 3: she's gonna see it because of that.
Speaker 2: I don't know who the vision, but it definitely was
Speaker 2: not her.
Speaker 3: So anyway, talk is in. Kel said the scene in question,
Speaker 3: the one Ryan Reynolds rewrote, didn't work.
Speaker 1: Oh, it didn't belong with what they were trying to do.
Speaker 1: And that's what she said about it.
Speaker 3: And I guess other people have made that point as well.
Speaker 3: But I didn't read the book. She's read every book
Speaker 3: ever printed, I think, so she knows this crap.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: Let's wrap it up, all right, Well, we appreciate you all,
Speaker 4: and I'm not even going to promote that other thing,
Speaker 4: because I've said it too many times already today. However,
Speaker 4: I do appreciate everybody who just listens to the Monday Show.
Speaker 4: I want you to feel the love as well. And
Speaker 4: I'm trying to manifest some live shows because we'd love
Speaker 4: to meet you all. So thank you all. You're all amazing.
Speaker 4: Have a wonderful week, and see some of you Thursday.
Speaker 1: Well said, goodbye everyone,
