20
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: that is having some casting controversial A lot of casting controversy.

21
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I'm on Broadway Talk. Um, I'm

22
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: also on Gleek Talk a former gleek. I am a

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: broader Glee geek geek for those who are not millennials, Um,

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: I feel like there's been a resurgence of Glee amongst

25
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: like Gen's ears, Like you know how we rewatch the Office.

26
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: I feel like they're like, oh my god, I'm discovering

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: Glee and it makes me feel old. But I've accepted that.

28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I've moved past it. Um, those who are at the intersection.

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: There has been a lot of talk about Beanie felt

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Scenes performance as Funny Girl on Broadway. It was supposed

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: to be. It was very hyped, very heavily marketed. It

32
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: was always a stunt casting. Like if you're not big

33
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: about Broadway, Um, stunt casting is when they, you know,

34
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: to sell seeds, they hire somebody who's fairly famous to

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, reprise a pretty big role in a musical.

36
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman is always on Broadway. I feel like Jess

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Williams is in a show right now that's like very big. Um.

38
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, like Beanie felt scene, Hugh Jackman is like

39
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: a song and dance man. He is a Broadway man.

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Let's like not Hugh jack Hugh Jackman's name out of

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: this conversation. You understand absolutely, but you know, like you're like,

42
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: people are gonna go see that because I love Hugh Jackman.

43
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: Right So, um, Beanie felt scene. It was a big

44
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: deal when she got hired. She was never supposed to

45
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: do like a full run. Her last show was always

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be September, but there has and rumblings since

47
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: she's taken on the role that you know, the performances

48
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: weren't like living up to the expectations. Ticket sales were bad.

49
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, she's missed a few shows because of COVID

50
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: and also some like other unexpected circumstances. Her understudy has

51
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: gone in Who's been I've heard incredible um often. But

52
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: all that to say, when Broadway cast had Beanie felt seen,

53
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: it was a big deal because she is not what

54
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: you would typically cast for Funny Girl, especially in general

55
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: like Broadway, super fatphobic, it's super white. Um, So hiring

56
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: someone like Beanie it was like a big deal. It

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, we're literally like changing the

58
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: way we're thinking about casting. You know, she is a

59
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: good fit, she has you know, idolized his role, her

60
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: whole life great. And she is a girl. She is

61
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: a funny girl. Have you seen Book Smart? Have you

62
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: seen Ladybird? She's a funny girl. Um and she is Jewish,

63
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: So you know, it was very exciting to see Broadway

64
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: cast someone who is like a part of a marginalized community,

65
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: so to speak, to take on such a big role. Um.

66
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: And when she got cast, it was like everyone was

67
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: like ha hallya, Michelle is burning in her grape. You know,

68
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: like people were like, her whole career, she's campaigned to

69
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: be funny Girl on Broadway. Like that's been her whole

70
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: Like every role she's ever taken has been a campaign

71
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: to be funny Girl on Broadway. And to have Beanie

72
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: Feltine taken it was like whoa, So just can you

73
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: give us a little context of what like what be

74
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: starting and funny girl means is that this is like

75
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: the juicy best role for an actress, the best role.

76
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Funny Girl is a very iconic musical. It's

77
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 1: a classic, you know, like priv Streissan you know, famously

78
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: uh you know made the role what it was way

79
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: back in the day. So it is just like a

80
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: big like role. It's not like the only theater role.

81
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many shows on Broadway, but you know,

82
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: to be cast in it is, you know, a big

83
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: seal sort of speek. William Michelle is not new to Broadway,

84
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: like she has been on the Broadway circuit for many,

85
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: many years. But if you watch any interviews of her,

86
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: if you watch her on Glee, it's like her whole

87
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: thing is like I'm gonna be Fanny Bryce, i Am

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: gonna be funny girl. Like that's been her whole thing,

89
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: her whole career, and they have not wanted to give

90
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: it to her because she's mean. Like like if you

91
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: google anything about Liam Michelle, it's like Lea Michelle the

92
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: worst person to work where in Hollywood. But people can't

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: deny that she's talented. So that's how she's you know,

94
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: gotten as much work as she's gotten is because she

95
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: is incredibly talented. But she is evil, Like she's known

96
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: to be evil. She's known to be racist and fat

97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: phobic and nasty to her co workers and have a

98
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: God complex. Like there's also a rumor that's been going

99
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: on that she can't read. You know, it's like many, many,

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: many things. So you got a dig on the Tektok

101
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: that's like a whole other side hander we could have,

102
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: but that has been very much a rumors that like

103
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Lea Michelle can't read, uh, you know, for years on

104
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Glee has been fed her lines. You know, it's it's

105
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: a that's another one hole. So it's like there's been

106
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: a point that she has not gotten this role, even

107
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: though she's built her whole career to get this role.

108
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: So when Beanie got it, it was a big deal

109
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: just because like they're like opposites, right. You look at Beanie,

110
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: you look at Lea Michelle, like totally different people. So

111
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: for Broadway to kind of like walk back on like

112
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: the progressiveness of hiring someone like Beanie to be in

113
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: that role and put Lea Michelle just goes to show

114
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: how kind of fucked up Broadway is in a lot

115
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: of ways, like how lack of even though they're like

116
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: a gay industry in the sense that like a lot

117
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: of the queers love Broadway, it is so clear that

118
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: they are like not with the times, Like they're still

119
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: very white, still very fat phobic, still very like you know,

120
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: homophobing in a lot of ways too. So it's sad

121
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: to see from like a I I think the challenge

122
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: with Beanie being funny Girl, for being Fannie um was

123
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: they were expecting her to reprise the role like Barbera

124
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Stryke Sam Like, they weren't letting the role be Beanies.

125
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: They put her in this role knowing she was not

126
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: going to be Barbara Strikes and it's like that's she can't.

127
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: She simply cannot be that. She is her own person.

128
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: She is a very you know, different casting take, and

129
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: you should need to let her be that casting take

130
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: and instead of just like trying to retrofit her in

131
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: this box, it's like we're going for this like unique higher,

132
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: but we want you to still be what we're expecting

133
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: and she just gonna be. I gotta say, when I

134
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: was first hired to you know, launch the Daily Zycheist,

135
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: there was a lot of that they wanted me to

136
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: be more barbarous streising and I could see why they

137
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: thought I had that in me, but it was it

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: was a mistake. Um So. But so this is like

139
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: fans almost like fan fiction or like Twitter ship posts

140
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: come to life, because I do absolutely because like they're

141
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: like they're like there's no way they're actually gonna hire

142
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Lee Michelle, and it was like, it's because they want

143
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: ticket sales. They're seeing the drama, the fan fiction on

144
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the internet and they're like, fun it, let's do it. Yeah.

145
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: I remember when when Beanie Feltsin was first hired, people

146
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: being like Lea Michelle must be spinning in her grave,

147
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: people loving it, and Broadway was just like, Okay, that

148
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: seems to be that's our next choice. Let's do it.

149
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean, she's gonna be great. I want to see it.

150
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I want to see le Michelle do it because she

151
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: is a performer at the end of the day. But

152
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: is she a monster? Absolutely yes. So Beanie has come

153
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: out and said like it was not her choice to

154
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: leave the show, so she did post so Broadway like

155
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: the official Funny Girl account on Instagram and Twitter and

156
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: also like Broadway dot com posted that they're announcing casting

157
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: decisions tomorrow. Ak today they posted that Sunday, and Beanie

158
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: posted her own post when they when Broadway made that

159
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: announcement to say, playing Fanny Bryce on Broadway has been

160
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: a lifelong dream of mine, and doing so for the

161
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: last few months has been a great joy and true honor.

162
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: Once suproduction decided to take the show in a different direction.

163
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: I made the extremely difficult decision to step away sooner

164
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: than anticipated. I will never forget this experience, and from

165
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart, I wanted to think every

166
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: single person who came to the August Wilson for the

167
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: love and support you've shown me in our amazing cast

168
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: and crew. The Funny Girl I have had the great

169
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: joy of bringing to life with every night, both on

170
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: and off stage, are all remarkably talented and exceptional humans,

171
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: and I hope you continue to join them on the

172
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: Henry Street after I depart. On Jella, So it's very

173
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: clear from that post that like she was not making

174
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: the choice for exit early, very politely, being like faster

175
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: than I would have anticipated. Yeah, and then what's the

176
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: what's Jane Lynch's involvement here? So Jane Lynch is also

177
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: a Funny Girl as a supporting role. I cannot tell

178
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: you off the top of my head what her exact

179
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: role is, but iconically, Jane Lynn and Lea Michelle were um,

180
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, in Glee together. And she is departing, which

181
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: she was always was to depart when Beanie departed September

182
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: um and I think she'll be departing now in September

183
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: when Leah and I think the official person taking over

184
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: um her role is one moment October Octoba feldscha Um

185
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: she will be, which is she's an you know, incredible

186
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: Broadway actress. She'll be taking over with Lea Michelle. But

187
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: in the inter room between July thirty one and September. Um,

188
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I think Leah are I think Beanie felt Sine's understudy

189
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: is going to be taking over as Fanny Bryce until September,

190
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: but which means like they really were like get the

191
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: funk out, which is very uncool. Um, but oh, she

192
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: played Jane plays Fanny Bryce's mother, Rose Brice. But I

193
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: think it's very funny that she's like Jane Lynch is like,

194
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to spend time with Michelle. I gotta

195
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: get out of here before that one comes. Absolutely not

196
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: no no no, no, no no. But I think it

197
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been made clear if Jane Lynch leaving July two,

198
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: but she's definitely leaving by the time Lea Michelle is

199
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: going to be reprising the role. Amazing. All right, Well,

200
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: I now feel caught up on this. I feel like

201
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: I understand my Twitter feed better than I did before.

202
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Is that a good thing? I don't know? Um No,

203
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: I did. I am glad that I I feel like

204
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: I now comprehend and can start ship posting about it,

205
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: um with abandoned like I knew. Just look at the

206
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: memes the I posted the art picture in the dock.

207
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: I think it's wild that Broadway dot Com chose that RPIs.

208
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: I feel like they are in on the joke and

209
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: they know that this was a wildcasting choice because that

210
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: is a god awful art painting of Lea Michelle to

211
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: post the announcement for casting her, It's gonna be a

212
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: fun ride, like it's gonna be. I can't wait to

213
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: hear all the takes from when she does it. But

214
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: I am sad for Beanie. I think you know, she

215
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: deserved more respects from Broadway eight than that she got,

216
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: even despite her shortcomings in the role. That's my talk.

217
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for letting me come in and talk about you

218
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: talk on this gossip and Broadway amazing. All right, Let's

219
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll be right back to

220
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: cover off on a few more things and we're back

221
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: and uh So, the Twitter acquisition by Elon Musk has

222
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: blown up like we thought it would. Uh, same number. Yeah,

223
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: and it's still all good. Um, there's yeah, there's all

224
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: sorts of countersuits happening. People who are following it are like,

225
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: this really bad for Twitter, like they made a big

226
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: mistake by accepting his offer and not like putting in

227
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: the initial defensive like you know, poison pill protections and

228
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: things like that. Um, I don't know what any of

229
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,359
Speaker 1: that ship means. Bad for Elon Musk because it seems

230
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know it. See it seems like maybe he

231
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: wasn't playing five dimensional chess like all of his band

232
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: boys thought he was weird nerds if you will, weird nerds.

233
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: And bad for people who work at Twitter because now

234
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Twitter is effectively suing so Elon Musk has been like

235
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy Twitter, and Twitter is suing

236
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: him too. Still buy Twitter? Um, which is like not

237
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: a great let's go. Let's just got not a great

238
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: outcome if he if they succeed, and Twitter stock is

239
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: just plummeting as this all you know. Elon Musk backing

240
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: out has like tanked Twitter because now people are like, wait,

241
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: what did he see? Um? And not wait Elon Musk

242
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: is addicted to seeing his name in the trending of

243
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: his own Twitter and he loves seeing it there. Yeah, um,

244
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: could have been permanent, but noticeid to back out also

245
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: be fair, like lots of things are tanking right now.

246
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: Stocks are just bad. Yeah, and the Twitter stock is tanking.

247
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: It may be because of this and it, but you

248
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: know the comedy is bad and this isn't helping. Yeah,

249
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: good overall for I'd say the American people, since definitely

250
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: probably would have been really bad to have ELM Musk

251
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: is the CEO of Twitter, and it would have been

252
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: like the first major social media network that like was

253
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: taken over by a megalomaniac billionaire rather than being like

254
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: founded and grown to fruition by a megalomaniac billionaire. So

255
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: it would like, haven't opened a new play in the

256
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: in the megalomaniac billionaire playbook, And so he was gonna

257
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: bring Trump back and oh yeah, that would have been fun.

258
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: But we've you know, look, we've left social media before

259
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: we'll leave it again. We were on Vine for a

260
00:14:55,760 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: long time and we thought Vine was gonna be Now

261
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: we've got TikTok. Now we got TikTok. I wouldn't be

262
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: surprised if Twitter has some sort of max mass exodus

263
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: in its future not too far from now. Whether it's

264
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: because we're tired of actually sharing our opinions online on

265
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: the Internet and having people be like, well, okay, you

266
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: said you like waffles, because I mean you hate pancakes,

267
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: or something to that nature. That's one of my favorite

268
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: tweets of all time is is you'll tweet something like

269
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: I I love waffles and someone will say, oh, you

270
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: hate pancakes, and that's an entirely different thought. Get out

271
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: of here. But yeah, I don't know, it's I think

272
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: these things are certainly not like helping Twitter's image. Um.

273
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: But also I'd rather then get the money and sue

274
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: him into into oblivion. That sounds great. I'm glad he pulled. Yeah,

275
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm a I am too. I will be on Twitter

276
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: when there are exactly one active users and it will

277
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: be me because the only, um, it's the only social

278
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: media I use that I like. It's the only one

279
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: where I am fairly certain that I know when I'm

280
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: looking at an d versus otherwise. And I don't know

281
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: it's I I fear TikTok because it's just too, to seamless,

282
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: too frictionless. It's too easy. Yeah, too easy. Zach Wilson

283
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: trended I did not know why this is one de

284
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: little dive. So Jack Wilson is the Jets quarterback who

285
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: was taking like second overall, had a trying first season,

286
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: and he and his girlfriend broke up. His girlfriend recently

287
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: like went public for a brief moment and then deleted

288
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: the post on social media like that she's now dating

289
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: his ex best friend and college teammate. So they were

290
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: a high school sweetheart. She is now dating his college

291
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: teammate and best friend. So people were on social media

292
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: and they called her a homie hopper and she in

293
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: a sense deleted comment said that Wilson, the quarterback of

294
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: the Jets, was sleeping with his mom's best friend. That's

295
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: the real homie hopper, and then two laughing emojis and

296
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: then deleted it. That is why you will So, Zach

297
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Wilson is a Jets quarterback who may may not have

298
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: been sleeping with his mom's best friend. So that's that

299
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: was a lot of posts in my and my Twitter dread.

300
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: So I thought I would do people the service of

301
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: h explaining to them what that means speaking of doing

302
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: people of service, will you please read the last line

303
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: that you have written here for this article. Chad Johnson, NFL,

304
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: former NFL wide receiver said, Zach Wilson is the goat.

305
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: DK metcalf current like one of the best wide receivers

306
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL confirmed, and then Ryan Matthews this is

307

309
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,640
