Speaker 1: This is a great episode of Lost Culture ris because
Speaker 1: we love our guests, and you know, we started every
Speaker 1: episode of Watch Coast Rias by asking when did you
Speaker 1: decide that culture was for you? Brandon Scott Jones Like,
Speaker 1: as a young Brandon, Brandon, like, what piqued your interest
Speaker 1: in culture? You were like culture? Yes, what movies, TV books,
Speaker 1: what you name it? Oh my gosh, I feeling it's
Speaker 1: going to be very similar. I love this so excited
Speaker 1: it could be very similar. I um let's see, all right,
Speaker 1: there's two things. One. I was a very unfun kid.
Speaker 1: I was not likable, No, I was. I was fine.
Speaker 1: I was just a very serious, very like the career
Speaker 1: drian child like that wanted to be, um, um, a
Speaker 1: professional athlete. And that did not pan out. What sports? Tennis? Tennis? Okay,
Speaker 1: so tennis you've been into your whole life. I've been, yes,
Speaker 1: since I was. And you still play every morning, well
Speaker 1: most more, most more exactly, yeah, a couple of yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. Um, so that's that. And so I think
Speaker 1: like when I would have culture, like I was very
Speaker 1: into what adults like. And then and then did you
Speaker 1: practice with a lot of adults? I will, I was
Speaker 1: around I was around them, like I took pride in
Speaker 1: being the one player that when we would go around
Speaker 1: to tournaments, Like my dad used to commend me for this.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you focused on the wrong thing. But he
Speaker 1: was like, you know, all the adults like, but I
Speaker 1: would I would just like talk to them. I'd be
Speaker 1: like it was it was because you were like respectful,
Speaker 1: or was because you could talk to them on their level.
Speaker 1: I think I thought it was because I could talk
Speaker 1: to them on their levels. Like I remember vividly like
Speaker 1: ordering by myself and McDonald's in demanding that I do
Speaker 1: it and then just like recognizing the like just like
Speaker 1: the frustration of the day and candor like that in
Speaker 1: my life, like oh my god, I'm forgetting her name
Speaker 1: right now. That's sane. But an aunt on my dad's side,
Speaker 1: like there was like a second, was like a distance.
Speaker 1: One time she said to me, I was like twelve
Speaker 1: years old. She goes, you have a girlfriend and I
Speaker 1: sent you to her you know what? On and off?
Speaker 1: And she go, I get it. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I looked during the eyes and I knew we understood
Speaker 1: each other. Yes, she was like eight years older than me, right,
Speaker 1: I mean I can sense that. Yeah enough, you know
Speaker 1: you know how it is? How's it going with you?
Speaker 1: You know? My husband he's drinks. Yeah, you know, I've
Speaker 1: noticed I'm not going to play. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: that's appropriate? Is that? Absolutely? I grew up in Long
Speaker 1: Where did you grow I grew up Jeff North of
Speaker 1: Baltimore in a town called bell Air, bell Air, the
Speaker 1: bell Air of the East Coast. David Robson around. Our
Speaker 1: friend David is from around bell Air. How interesting really,
Speaker 1: I wonder, Um was it waspy? Um? It's like a mixture.
Speaker 1: Like I we didn't like my family didn't have like
Speaker 1: a ton of money, so I grew up in like
Speaker 1: um and they did. Fine. I mean I don't want dad.
Speaker 1: If you're listening, I know you're um, but what you're saying,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And but like five minutes
Speaker 1: away was like some of my best friend's houses and
Speaker 1: their houses were huge and gorgeous. And then even ten
Speaker 1: minutes away was a neighborhood called Todd Lake's that um housed. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like they were just such huge mansions. And in fact,
Speaker 1: at one point Christina Applegate and Jonathan Check lived there
Speaker 1: ten minutes from Christina Applegate in well, Jonathan Check was
Speaker 1: from there. He was from like that area he's from.
Speaker 1: I think he was from Aberdeen or Habit of Grace,
Speaker 1: which is like where they you know, like right around
Speaker 1: the corner. And this is Christina Applegate postmarried with children,
Speaker 1: but pre like yeah, this is pre anchorment. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it explains a lot like where the fund did
Speaker 1: she go? Yeah, I know, like she used to go
Speaker 1: Apparently she used to go to this local movie theater
Speaker 1: and like she would just like go during the day
Speaker 1: and watch movies, and like I would hear about this
Speaker 1: in high school and be like, oh my god, what
Speaker 1: is happening? What are we doing here? Interveneone intervened, I'm
Speaker 1: trapped in this jail. Christine was wondering town and no
Speaker 1: one's doing anything. I know. There were like a strange
Speaker 1: amount of like like, um, there was a w B
Speaker 1: show that filmed like in our town that got canceled
Speaker 1: very quickly. Was it wasn't Deadwood, No, not ned winn
Speaker 1: ever ever whatever ever? Would w B show dead Sorry
Speaker 1: I get dead wooded and ever would mixed up? Um, No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't ever Wood. It was a show called you
Speaker 1: might have to imb it because I'm gonna get the
Speaker 1: name wrong, but I think it's either the young Americans
Speaker 1: or the real Americans America. Is it about? Like Okay,
Speaker 1: there was a w B show which was oh, never mind,
Speaker 1: that was called Jack and Bobby. Oh my god, yes,
Speaker 1: Jack and Bobby. It was like about the young JFK
Speaker 1: and Bobby when in Logan learnman and the older Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that was logan learnment. That was Logan learns. Everyone, everyone,
Speaker 1: Logan learning. I don't know any of these people. Parks
Speaker 1: of being a wolflower, right, great, right, right? I never
Speaker 1: saw the movie. I didn't either. I heard that wats
Speaker 1: and facial is good in Ema Watson. Sure. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: whole thing was Yeah. Book, I do love that book.
Speaker 1: That book is great, we should say. Also, they've released
Speaker 1: new stills from Beauty and the Beast. Oh, I know
Speaker 1: that you're you need more info. I need more and
Speaker 1: more and more. I'm just not getting enough from them
Speaker 1: based on that. But also Disney just supports me every time.
Speaker 1: Speaking of live action Disney remakes, today they just announced
Speaker 1: that they are searching for a for a fax for
Speaker 1: a I hate that this. I hate that this is
Speaker 1: getting buzz that. It's like we're going to find a
Speaker 1: Chinese actress, like we're going to do We're gonna step
Speaker 1: up and do it, Like yeah, that should be the norm,
Speaker 1: Like that shouldn't be like a commended thing. Of course
Speaker 1: you should find a Chinese actress. But anyway, that's very excited.
Speaker 1: What do you mean that we're going to find a
Speaker 1: Chinese actress instead of like a Korean actress or a
Speaker 1: Japanese Like we're going to absolutely because that's the trend.
Speaker 1: And like, what do you think that they're talking about.
Speaker 1: I think that I think you're addressing like the Ghost
Speaker 1: in the Shells Scarlett show hands and staff where so
Speaker 1: they're saying, don't worry, we're not going to find a
Speaker 1: white person exactly. Okay, well that's still just reassuring, which
Speaker 1: which is reassuring, but also like I hate that that's
Speaker 1: like here we are, we have like Disney has to
Speaker 1: make this kind of state. Yeah, but anyway, from are
Speaker 1: just the new black Chinese? She's Comico is a Japanese name,
Speaker 1: I would I would assume she's half Japanese, which I would.
Speaker 1: It's not you might as well go all the way,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I agree with you, you know what,
Speaker 1: like go like full Chinese. I mean, I would even
Speaker 1: be fine if it was just an Asian actress anyway,
Speaker 1: just because you don't expect the film industry to even
Speaker 1: casts like that's how stupid it is, Like we can't
Speaker 1: even expect mulan to right, But Are we gonna dumb it?
Speaker 1: Are we still gonna like get We're gonna be fine
Speaker 1: if it's But it's also going to be like, are
Speaker 1: they just looking for Mulan? Because I think that whole
Speaker 1: thing takes place as as as as the myth, the
Speaker 1: myth tells, Yes, I totally projude that sense. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, and like the myth they that's that's the
Speaker 1: myth tells. So now they're doing Mulan. We got Beauty
Speaker 1: and the Beast coming. We hear about Lion King directed
Speaker 1: by Jon Favreau. Did you see the Jungle Book? I heard,
Speaker 1: I don't want it to go so bad, and I
Speaker 1: just couldn't rally. You know, it's fair. I understand I
Speaker 1: had to go because another one was sold out. I
Speaker 1: can't remember. It was like X Men time, and I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I don't miss an X Men movie.
Speaker 1: It's the thing that's a part of me. Love X Men.
Speaker 1: I do. I don't know. I watched the cartoon growing
Speaker 1: up and then I like, then like something about the movie,
Speaker 1: something about everybody loves this movie. But I do think
Speaker 1: one of the greatest movies of all time is X
Speaker 1: Men to X two United it's like I was the
Speaker 1: one I happened to me, it's the best one. It's
Speaker 1: so bad. I just honestly, can I can I tell
Speaker 1: you what it is? So when I was little, I
Speaker 1: went my cousin had a birthday and he took us
Speaker 1: and we were all going to go see well he
Speaker 1: had one birthday one yere, we all want to go
Speaker 1: see Corky Romano, Okay, And I loved it. I thought
Speaker 1: it was the best smartest comedy. Then the next year
Speaker 1: we saw X Men. And remember the scene an x
Speaker 1: Men when um fucking rogue stabs someone through the She
Speaker 1: stabs Gene I don't know. She somehow assumes the power
Speaker 1: of Overraine and she stabbed. Well, there's like a very
Speaker 1: sudden scene where someone gets stabbed to the chest, and
Speaker 1: I just didn't deal with that well as a child,
Speaker 1: and so like, I got very scared of exit movies
Speaker 1: and so therefore couldn't see them again. I'm a very
Speaker 1: anxious watcher of things like I won't. I just stopped
Speaker 1: watching Breaking Bad after after the first episode of season
Speaker 1: four because there was this horrific scene where someone guess
Speaker 1: their throat split and I was like, this is officially
Speaker 1: like too scary for me. I can't watch You stopped
Speaker 1: watching Stranger Things because it was too scary for watching
Speaker 1: it for fift seconds, it's not that scary, it is
Speaker 1: there is like the first two episodes are on the
Speaker 1: scarier side than it becomes like a mystery. And then
Speaker 1: here's the thing though, the scariest part of strength. I
Speaker 1: don't like anything that has like anything that slithers. You know, sure, no,
Speaker 1: you don't like the slithering that the kinesthetic motion of slithering. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyway, I feel like that is like you get
Speaker 1: hints of that early on. I wanted to watch it
Speaker 1: so bad because one noona yeah she's great, I live,
Speaker 1: but I just couldn't brandon any other cultural moment. So
Speaker 1: now we know you were a wayward sports child. And
Speaker 1: how I have a question with tennis, how good did
Speaker 1: you get and how far did you get? Um I
Speaker 1: was ranked in I didn't. I never made national, so
Speaker 1: I quit when I was like fifteen, and then I
Speaker 1: was like ranked in the mid Atlantic and the state
Speaker 1: and huge, yeah yeah I was, you know, which is cool.
Speaker 1: And then I was like I was playing the tournaments
Speaker 1: to get you to nationals. And then I think it
Speaker 1: was right around that time when I it was just
Speaker 1: a lot. It was like it was the only thing
Speaker 1: I had ever done, and I didn't really I realized
Speaker 1: that by the time I got to high school, like
Speaker 1: I didn't have friends. And this is like when I
Speaker 1: was like in terms of culture and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Like the things that I grew up with were like
Speaker 1: I love Lucy Mary Tyler Moore, and then I grew
Speaker 1: up with like um like other like old movies like
Speaker 1: oh my god, have you ever seen this movie Auntie Mame?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Auntie Mame is like it's the legendary,
Speaker 1: It's Rosalind Russell. She's like outrageous. I thought it was
Speaker 1: like the best thing in the world. My okay, Oh
Speaker 1: here's something real though, Wizard of Oz like this, this
Speaker 1: is like the type of fun I would have as
Speaker 1: a child. I tried to put on. I loved the
Speaker 1: movie The Wizard of Oz so much, so much that
Speaker 1: I tried to put on my own production of it,
Speaker 1: and I made all of the costumes out of construction paper.
Speaker 1: When I say made all the costumes, I started to
Speaker 1: make all the costumes at a construction paper, but I
Speaker 1: quit halfway through because this dumb dumb started with a
Speaker 1: fucking mayor of Munchkin City, and I was like, how
Speaker 1: many more mun Munchkins? Me? Forever overwhelmed. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was going to play all the parts, and then my
Speaker 1: sister was going to play Dorothy, and then um, that
Speaker 1: would have been amazing. That would have been an incredible
Speaker 1: production in li was your sister a performer as a
Speaker 1: child or were you making I was making? Yes, exactly right.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's so much fun to be like like
Speaker 1: a very just to make your sister do that. Sisters
Speaker 1: are good about it. She was longer than you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was younger than me. So basically I had I
Speaker 1: have a sister, Chelsea. He was three years younger than me.
Speaker 1: I just poked to her today. I'm going to see
Speaker 1: her in our land out in two weeks. How congratulations.
Speaker 1: I know how much you love it. I'm so happy
Speaker 1: to go. And I'll be talking about it a little
Speaker 1: bit later. Um that's a Disneyland okay, sorry, But so
Speaker 1: to listen, what I would do to Chelsea is I
Speaker 1: would dress her up in like her best dress, which
Speaker 1: is like, I don't know what dress is good on
Speaker 1: like a ten year old. I don't know, I think
Speaker 1: like to two in a bathing never mind she was four,
Speaker 1: because I became obsessed Brandon obsessed with Titan Oh by proxy,
Speaker 1: became obsessed with Kate Winslet and her like hunt for
Speaker 1: the Oscar that year, like really really invested. So I
Speaker 1: would dress my sister up. I would call a family
Speaker 1: meeting and I would get like one of my soccer trophies.
Speaker 1: I wanted her like, you know, soccer trophies, and i'd
Speaker 1: give it to her and have her come out and
Speaker 1: i'd have her given acceptance speech as Kate Winslet in
Speaker 1: front of my parents. And when she couldn't do it,
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you doing? This is the
Speaker 1: moment you win an Academy award and I already valued
Speaker 1: that at age seven. Yes, No, I completely agree that.
Speaker 1: I really was very, very frustrated sometimes. And Amanda, if
Speaker 1: you're listening, I'm sorry, but I was frustrated with your
Speaker 1: commitment as a child. Wow. See this is interesting to
Speaker 1: hear because my sister older sort of did the whole
Speaker 1: older sibling thing where she made me performed stuff. But
Speaker 1: I just happened to like it too, so then we
Speaker 1: both just had a blast, like you're just like putting
Speaker 1: up big talk shows. Maybe it's the younger sibling thing.
Speaker 1: Sister tried to like it, okay, but she just just
Speaker 1: doesn't enjoy performing. My sister just like spoon fed me
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff and and like I'm grateful to
Speaker 1: her for it because like because I just like got
Speaker 1: into like playing pretend and like doing all this stuff
Speaker 1: and then like like sort of led me down this
Speaker 1: this funny path. Now, what's the age difference? Two years?
Speaker 1: Two ye half years? It wasn't that thing older than me. Um,
Speaker 1: she had dreams is becoming a TV journalist. She did
Speaker 1: not enjoy it after a couple of years, and now
Speaker 1: she is um really happy at her current job in communications.
Speaker 1: So anyway, she just yeah, she was like another She
Speaker 1: was like a gregarious person that I just sort of
Speaker 1: learned a lot from. And yeah, you know, so you
Speaker 1: were both gregarious and had the performer instinct, yes girl, yes, yes, god,
Speaker 1: whereas Brandon and I terrorized younger maybe didn't just didn't.
Speaker 1: I just didn't have the spark that's necessary because you
Speaker 1: got it, you don't got it? You got it you don't,
Speaker 1: And you know I can tell, but I the wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz obsession though, that's real. I feel like every
Speaker 1: child has that. I know. There's nothing unique about I
Speaker 1: think like I like, I just um, I was like
Speaker 1: obsessed with the making of it, and I was obsessed
Speaker 1: with like like I love that. I know the woman
Speaker 1: who was originally cast as the Wicked Witch, yes, scale
Speaker 1: the under guard. But then, um, oh my god, did
Speaker 1: you see on a v on a v VHS version
Speaker 1: of The Wizard of Oz in the nineties that came out,
Speaker 1: there was a featurette after the movie played Angela Lansbury
Speaker 1: talking about the making of it, and it just blew
Speaker 1: my mind as a kid, which she goes into all
Speaker 1: these vaudeville actors who are like being considered for all
Speaker 1: these roles and didn't get it Buddy Epstein. But Epstein
Speaker 1: who's inhaled the silver paint yeah from the tin Man
Speaker 1: and then gave it to Jack Healey. Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy, Like there's a lot of trivia around
Speaker 1: the drama, the drama. Here's something I love them. This
Speaker 1: is now we're getting into the teen years. You're getting
Speaker 1: a little closer to what you're seeing right now. Um,
Speaker 1: did you ever see that made for television movie masterpiece
Speaker 1: Me and My Shadows my life with Judy Garland. But
Speaker 1: I heard it's the best performance ever committed to film. Yes,
Speaker 1: she's Meryl Streep, said Judy Davis, and Me in My
Speaker 1: Shadows is the best performance ever committed to film. Meryl,
Speaker 1: when did this come out ten years ago? Like? Oh longer?
Speaker 1: We're talking like me and my guy best friends in
Speaker 1: high school driving around in the car silently for like
Speaker 1: a minute, and then one of us goes, um, so
Speaker 1: did anyone of you guys see me in my shows?
Speaker 1: And everyone's like, yes, we love that. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: good for you for having those guy friends. Good. We
Speaker 1: all moved to New York City together and we all
Speaker 1: ended up gay. I love that the movie is outrageous.
Speaker 1: Tammy Blanchard, also as young Judy, has a great bit
Speaker 1: where they're telling her to give more eyes and and
Speaker 1: she's like really going for it and it is amazing.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you what you said that really struck
Speaker 1: a card with me is when you were young watching
Speaker 1: I Love Lucy and like Mary Tyler, that was the
Speaker 1: nick at Knight that I grew up like. I loved Lucy,
Speaker 1: I loved Um Three's Company, I loved like all those
Speaker 1: older shows, and then like Nick and Knight became like Friends.
Speaker 1: Night is like Will and Grave. Now I know or
Speaker 1: we did we get old? Or we get old? They
Speaker 1: don't play I Love Lucy anywhere anymore. The kids don't
Speaker 1: know what it is that I am on Like Tuesdays
Speaker 1: they have like the Lucy Block. But I think it's
Speaker 1: crazy that people don't know who Lucy Ball is. It
Speaker 1: is bizarre. Well yeah, or like at least don't have
Speaker 1: like the reference. But because it was Thursday every night
Speaker 1: at nine pimos and it was a Lucy episode. You
Speaker 1: know what's still giving my godsdamn life is Divide of Bedgement. Yes.
Speaker 1: Performed comedy The Grapes Stomping episode The Grapes. Yes. Also
Speaker 1: the chocolates chocolate when the chocolates came down the conveyor belt. Yes.
Speaker 1: Oh girl, let me tell you something. Unsung hero of
Speaker 1: that show, you know what. She's got a great line
Speaker 1: when Ricky falls into the there in Miami and Ricky
Speaker 1: falls overboard in a boat and she falls, He falls
Speaker 1: into the water, and then she comes back up to
Speaker 1: the surface and she goes, are you wet? It's like,
Speaker 1: you know what? You get it. Vivian Bands, Vivian God
Speaker 1: bless anyone. In later years when it was The Lucy
Speaker 1: Show and it was in color, and then she just
Speaker 1: like that was the two of them, right, that was
Speaker 1: just yeah, it was like literally and they called her
Speaker 1: viv I mean Lucille Ball on The Tonight Show with
Speaker 1: Johnny Carson doing like her like her Twilight Years interviews
Speaker 1: is fascinating. She's a total diva. It's brilliant. Did you
Speaker 1: see the one where she's talking about her this TV
Speaker 1: movie where she plays I think she describes it a hobo.
Speaker 1: Wait was that she didn't she do anti name like
Speaker 1: on stage, didn't made the movie. That's okay, yes, I
Speaker 1: know I did not see this hoo She's like, I
Speaker 1: play a hobo, Like, oh god, Lucy. The thing is like,
Speaker 1: she's so amazing on screen, is like a comedian. But
Speaker 1: the thing is like you get the sense that she
Speaker 1: was like really she had had it her whole life.
Speaker 1: She just had it. Oh my god, she was done.
Speaker 1: She was clocked. Her Judy are just like these these
Speaker 1: like early tales of Hollywood stardom that I don't know,
Speaker 1: I feel, I always feel. I always shut a tear
Speaker 1: for Judy. Yeah, oh god easy, I mean like, I mean,
Speaker 1: the poor girl was on pills from like early on.

Speaker 1: like yeah, we talk every It's like, um, like it
Speaker 1: feels very it feels still like I do feel I
Speaker 1: was just talking. I was just thinking about this the
Speaker 1: other night. I had had a couple wines and I
Speaker 1: was doing my usual YouTube crawl through old Hollywood, and um,
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself watching, Uh, somebody also, I
Speaker 1: think probably a mutual friend of ours, had posted one
Speaker 1: of my favorite clips, which was, um, Liza on a
Speaker 1: Larry King, yeah a compilation and she's and then also
Speaker 1: Lies on ABC QVC where like people will call it

Speaker 1: that you're just my favorite. I'm so excited to be
Speaker 1: able to talk to you. And she's like, oh, they
Speaker 1: thank you so much. And you know what, I was
Speaker 1: so great to talk to you, and I'll remember it
Speaker 1: for him. You were like literally, you know, you can
Speaker 1: go from being completely off to being completely on, And
Speaker 1: I think that's like the most respectable quality in any
Speaker 1: of human being. That is, like, I would love to
Speaker 1: see you be disinterested in something and then turn on
Speaker 1: and pretend to be interested. You know what's going to
Speaker 1: be a true site is Mariah Carrey in twenty years.
Speaker 1: Have you seen her? Oh yes, I mean she's truly
Speaker 1: a puddle. Oh my god, the woman's a puddles though.
Speaker 1: But like I mean like God bless her, God bless her.
Speaker 1: But she is like what is she doing? What she
Speaker 1: don't know? Is it drugs? Is it too much drinking?
Speaker 1: Is it? What? Is she insane? Talk to Matao Lane
Speaker 1: about it, because like he's got some ideas future Matlane,
Speaker 1: He'll spell the tea. Yeah, yes, well apparently she also
Speaker 1: like worked with a bunch of you seeb people on
Speaker 1: like a short sketch for Funnier Die and like she
Speaker 1: was kind of a nightmare. Oh no, she like she
Speaker 1: showed like three hours my first concert ever, Maria car
Speaker 1: a Square Garden there it was the Rainbow Tour and
Speaker 1: the cancee that the concert was Mariah versus Bianca and
Speaker 1: her evil and that was the whole thing. And I
Speaker 1: remember I was like, is this every concert? Did every
Speaker 1: concert have like a story? And my parents were like, yes,
Speaker 1: every concert has a story. And I was like, really
Speaker 1: that's great, and then like, of course, and that's the
Speaker 1: only one that had that kind of narrative. And in
Speaker 1: the play that it was like you might see Bianca,
Speaker 1: it might be Mariah, and it was just like she
Speaker 1: kind of like it looks like Carmen fucking san Diego.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was crazy. And the first word
Speaker 1: she said when she came at work do you like
Speaker 1: the ensemble? She performed, honey, you can't have me when
Speaker 1: you wom me, I love that. I was. I was,
Speaker 1: don't you remember? No, Oh my god, a legend to
Speaker 1: me like I love Maria. Okay, let me tell you.
Speaker 1: And I I really try to fight for Mariah a
Speaker 1: lot good people care. No, it's that that weariness. What
Speaker 1: were you going to say, because I feel like I
Speaker 1: cut you off. You didn't. I just said I listened
Speaker 1: to and you don't remember of her second album Emotion
Speaker 1: so good anyway, but people do need to defend her,
Speaker 1: and even Mattee was getting tired of defending Mariah, which
Speaker 1: is huge. It's like she's it's like I she's making
Speaker 1: it hard and it's like he's not a human I
Speaker 1: think so. But like if you remember her Cribs where
Speaker 1: like she was like, you can't go in that room.
Speaker 1: I'm not showing you this room, and like they left
Speaker 1: that part in there. She was like that's just for me?
Speaker 1: Is it her cribs? Or it might have just been
Speaker 1: like entertainment Entertainment weekly, just be like our entertainment tonight,
Speaker 1: being like let's see it, um, But like there was
Speaker 1: a moment of just like pure sadness where she's like,
Speaker 1: you can't go in here. This room is for me,
Speaker 1: and had like a piano in it, and it was
Speaker 1: like I was like, oh, that's that what's in there? Yeah? Sure,
Speaker 1: sure that is. Yeah, that's a that's a glimpse into something.
Speaker 1: I mean, someone that I know that like apparently knows
Speaker 1: her pretty well recently was like referred to her children
Speaker 1: as props, and I was like, that is that's tired.
Speaker 1: I don't want to that stuff like it makes me.
Speaker 1: She's engaged like some new billionaire. Well he's a billionaire.
Speaker 1: And it's because she needs money. I mean she's got
Speaker 1: she's got an expensive lifestyle. I think she probably I
Speaker 1: mean imagine being Mariah Carrys. She probably used to waking
Speaker 1: up and it's paying thousands of dollars to get her
Speaker 1: makeup done, in her clothing and everything like that. But
Speaker 1: she's not pulling in that kind of money anymore. She's
Speaker 1: not that kind of recording artist anymore. I guess, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, like, do you think like she's still like
Speaker 1: I mean, like her old her classics, her hits and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I mean, like, aren't she probably makes
Speaker 1: for a dual money off quite a bit. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure she's Christmas a lot of money off the Christmas time.
Speaker 1: Did you guys remember her Hay Santa song? I think
Speaker 1: it's great. I like it, but it's also like I
Speaker 1: really like it. Actually it's also like an insane song.
Speaker 1: It's an insane song. Um that other song, Uh, Santa's
Speaker 1: Santa's gonna come and make you mind this Christmas and
Speaker 1: that's the same one. It's the same one. Santa's gonna
Speaker 1: gonna make you What is what is that? I don't okay?
Speaker 1: She she She released a second Christmas Album's Gonna Come
Speaker 1: and make You like you. You will love this song.
Speaker 1: She came out with the Christmas album in two tho nine,
Speaker 1: two dozen ten called Merry Christmas. MC to her second
Speaker 1: album to numeral No, not a Roman numeral, I think
Speaker 1: it was. Actually it was just an Arabic numeral to
Speaker 1: you let her you. And it has some new Christmas hits, honey,
Speaker 1: she's she does a cover of Christmas Time is here
Speaker 1: from Peanuts from from China Bone Christmas. That's quite good.
Speaker 1: She's great, It's so good. I love it. But oh
Speaker 1: my god, I gotta say, I mean, I'm just disappointed
Speaker 1: with what it's become because I truly loved her. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, And it makes you feel like, wow, if
Speaker 1: we can have and her, probably will happen to everyone else,
Speaker 1: like anyone that gets to that level. Like you think
Speaker 1: that Beyonce isn't like destined for some craziness. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: oh no, it's like what it's what Beyonce is going
Speaker 1: to be at like fifty is like probably something that
Speaker 1: I think might keep me alive for a little bit longer,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like, I mean like I'm
Speaker 1: talking like what will the coach look like? What will like?
Speaker 1: Also like she'll be Tina knows, well, well what blue
Speaker 1: Ivy look like? My joke that I always do when
Speaker 1: everyone is like, oh my god, did you hear Tina
Speaker 1: Knowles a new single? Like any second as you're going
Speaker 1: to get a single from Tina to be like boom, well,
Speaker 1: well gving man, every man, have you listened to the
Speaker 1: new Slange album? I have excellent and the new videos
Speaker 1: are great. I do love Slanche. I'm behind on that one.
Speaker 1: It's a good way. But I'm very excited and I'm excited.
Speaker 1: That's so I look at the video for Cranes in
Speaker 1: the Sky and Don't Touch My Cranes in the Sky.
Speaker 1: Great great songs, Okay, yeah, beautiful visual. I would yeah,
Speaker 1: like in terms of like craziness, like I would say
Speaker 1: that like Solange is insane, she's also yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: like it's lacko. She would love it. Though she had
Speaker 1: her first DEBUTU Very Fun. She had her first debut
Speaker 1: album come out in two thousand and eight, which was
Speaker 1: like a very solo star it was called it was
Speaker 1: something like Star um. And then and then they had her.
Speaker 1: They interviewed her on some like local morning talk show
Speaker 1: where the host like casually said jay Z and then
Speaker 1: like they turned it to and then like it was
Speaker 1: a split screen like Solange was somewhere else, um, and
Speaker 1: they were just sort of like beaming back and forth.
Speaker 1: And then as soon as they cut to Solange, like
Speaker 1: welcome Solange, thanks so much for being with us, she goes,
Speaker 1: you said something. You brought up my brother in law's name.
Speaker 1: I do not appreciate that. That is not your business
Speaker 1: to say. Like she just just completely the people it was.
Speaker 1: She doesn't really give a fun She really doesn't. It's
Speaker 1: so funny because, be honest, I give so many funks
Speaker 1: Slant does give. I my muscles told me I should
Speaker 1: speak a man. There it is. That's that's it all right.
Speaker 1: Um My, I had a Craigslifted roommate. Um that I'm fucking.
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I have a roommate and he this
Speaker 1: is this guys, we're talking, um, this is two thousand
Speaker 1: and four. Um. And he moves into me and my
Speaker 1: best friend's apartment at the time because we cannot afford
Speaker 1: to pay our two bedroom apartment rent. So he moves
Speaker 1: into my room and then we rent out the third
Speaker 1: for the second excuse me, and casually drops that he
Speaker 1: went to high school with Beyonce. Oh yeah, in Houston,
Speaker 1: and um, that has stayed with me because I feel like,
Speaker 1: and I have to be I'm confessing this here on
Speaker 1: this podcast. I didn't ask enough questions I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: did you pursue nothing? And like I was like because
Speaker 1: at the time, like I think, crazy Love comes out
Speaker 1: two thousand three three three, so it's like Beyonce and like,
Speaker 1: I don't even think for a second. I wasn't like
Speaker 1: obsessed with Destiny's Child for sure, but like I was,
Speaker 1: so I felt I feel like, she, what were you
Speaker 1: gonna say? I wanna know you're gonna say there was
Speaker 1: a moment in time in two thousand and four two
Speaker 1: three where I was like, Beyonce betrayed Destiny's Child. I
Speaker 1: I you know what I see, You're very staunching. I
Speaker 1: needed to hear both opinions about this. I'm going to
Speaker 1: talk about this all right, because I know who the pensis,
Speaker 1: I know who the cane is. I cut you off.
Speaker 1: What we're gonna say, what we're gonna say about I'm
Speaker 1: saying no, I just feel like I didn't. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, it just didn't register to me yet.
Speaker 1: He was like, I think as soon as Crazy and
Speaker 1: Love came out, I think I was feeling very a
Speaker 1: lot of the similar same things of like like why,
Speaker 1: like why did you leave? And also you guys had
Speaker 1: just like I think Survivor had just come out right
Speaker 1: or that was coming or like long before, not more
Speaker 1: than four. And then when they got back together the
Speaker 1: next year for Lose My Breath and for Destiny Fulfilled,
Speaker 1: their last album, I was like, oh, kid, it felt
Speaker 1: like it was going to be very simultaneous, like Beyonce
Speaker 1: is so look were and definitely child would. Kelly Rowland
Speaker 1: has some good singles like god, I know, oh my god.
Speaker 1: Do you know that little was the name? That one

Speaker 1: You guys want to know the age difference between us.
Speaker 1: You know, I auditioned for a Harrispray the music, but
Speaker 1: also in like an open call like in Baltimore. I
Speaker 1: cut school and I went down and I cat that's
Speaker 1: what they were doing, like a nation But I know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was like a nationwide thing.
Speaker 1: It was just like they probably definitely did go to
Speaker 1: Baltimore tow casts and then I like went in and
Speaker 1: I was saying, um, I had to sing like a
Speaker 1: doo wop song or like a fifties oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh my god. Anyway, yeah, I did not, Um did
Speaker 1: not make it. It would have been my dream to
Speaker 1: even do an open call as a kid for anything.
Speaker 1: My parents were like, why would you want to go act? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because yeah, but that's I was always so scared. I
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. I've talked about this on the Surprising.
Speaker 1: You're just so tending to be like surprised by all
Speaker 1: this stuff. I've like listened to the strap, just so
Speaker 1: scared of being good, just so scared oh my god,
Speaker 1: you can know. I mean like I can that. That's
Speaker 1: the whole I went to States and everything like that.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think I was at the level
Speaker 1: that you were out of tennis, but like I was
Speaker 1: good and like that was what I was known for.
Speaker 1: And I was like, thank god, they know me for
Speaker 1: being fast and like occasionally like the funny kid in
Speaker 1: class and they're not calling like the gay kid. Oh man,
Speaker 1: god see, like I know I got the gay kid.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh yeah. It was like seventh
Speaker 1: grade was the worst and by the time I think
Speaker 1: I was in like and at the time, I was
Speaker 1: like that's when I wasn't even like I did like
Speaker 1: my first play in seventh grade, but like it wasn't
Speaker 1: even like I didn't get bad until I guess like
Speaker 1: seventh and eighth grade, and then by like tenth or
Speaker 1: eleventh grade, I think I'd like assimilated myself as just
Speaker 1: like oh there he goes. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like still holding onto his liketer sexuality, but like completely
Speaker 1: like obviously teachers could tell you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, but I still was like
Speaker 1: very much holding on to it, but I I like
Speaker 1: bullying side of it stopped. I don't know, so you
Speaker 1: did get to a place in high school where you
Speaker 1: did have friends and felt yeah, I think I was yeah,
Speaker 1: like my first like like like yeah, like I did
Speaker 1: have like I had like a child I had like
Speaker 1: a childhood best friend, and then I had like friends
Speaker 1: and like I guess I had like to like my
Speaker 1: like my girlfriends in middle school yeah, god, Megan and
Speaker 1: Anna and Rachel. Yeah. Uh. In high school. Middle school
Speaker 1: it was it was Vicky and Jeanette and Vicky, you
Speaker 1: know the ones who three way called bully you. I'll
Speaker 1: keep it. But Vicky ended up egging my house, what wait,
Speaker 1: what is happening? She listened like this all came rushing
Speaker 1: back to me last week. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this was Vicky. It was Vicky, and she denied it,
Speaker 1: and then I found her the fuck out and I
Speaker 1: think we made up. It's she forgave her at the time,
Speaker 1: because what are you gonna do with your one friends? Exactly?
Speaker 1: And now I'm like, I remember in middle school. I
Speaker 1: remembered it last week out of nowhere, and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: that's awful, And I have this vision sued into my
Speaker 1: brain of my dad at two am hosing down the
Speaker 1: entire house from all the eggs and the and the
Speaker 1: toilet paper. I was like, that's like, that's so fucked up.
Speaker 1: That is that is that's like a huge deal. I
Speaker 1: think I think I've blocked out a lot of those things,
Speaker 1: and I truly sometimes I'll flashback like something like, for example,
Speaker 1: I remember in ninth grade, I just so happened to
Speaker 1: be in the one gym period um that none of
Speaker 1: my friends were in. And Jim is so hard when
Speaker 1: you and you're day like because your hormones are raging,
Speaker 1: and you're around all the boys and you're in the
Speaker 1: locker room and like I remember just one time, like
Speaker 1: all the guys in the locker room like changed one
Speaker 1: side of the locker room and then I was all
Speaker 1: the way on the other and they were It was
Speaker 1: because they wanted to be far away from me, like
Speaker 1: I had a disease. And honestly, that is. That is
Speaker 1: fucking America. That America, I mean and now, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me now with all this bullshit with what's
Speaker 1: going on in the country, because we're all fucking racist
Speaker 1: and homophobic and we're not. We're not. We're not. And
Speaker 1: you can say to your fucking nephew, I support you.
Speaker 1: But the thing is like you don't understand, like we've
Speaker 1: had it really hard. And I'm not gonna say we've
Speaker 1: had it harder than other people. Um, but you know,
Speaker 1: there's it's worth some consideration. I think that the locker
Speaker 1: room thing is like society writ small. Yeah, like when
Speaker 1: Mike Pence is a fan of conversion therapy, there's something
Speaker 1: wrong with that, and I think that everyone needs to
Speaker 1: really confront that right now, Like there's something really wrong
Speaker 1: with that. What we're doing to people at that age
Speaker 1: when we send these messages and this isn't really wrong.
Speaker 1: Something's not reaching, something's not reaching. Girls. We've gotten we've
Speaker 1: gotten deep into our paths. We have paths, pasts. We
Speaker 1: have not talked about the theme. So let me tell you. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we do have a loose theme for this episode.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about for like ten minutes. How long have
Speaker 1: we been doing this forty two? Okay, so we have
Speaker 1: plenty of time. Ok we have at least let's make
Speaker 1: it too for B s J. Yeah, honestly, I got
Speaker 1: I'm having the time in my life. You know, the
Speaker 1: longest we've done, the longest we've done, the longest episode
Speaker 1: we've done is Josh Sharpen Eric and it was like
Speaker 1: sixteen hours. But the whole time I felt good. It
Speaker 1: was great. I don't mean to put us into a
Speaker 1: rush state. I just yeah, well, you know what, you
Speaker 1: really need to think about what you're doing. Okay, So
Speaker 1: look the loose theme of this episode, Brandon es is
Speaker 1: oscars the season begins. I'm very excited. I had a
Speaker 1: conversation with Brandon scot Jones recently where I found out
Speaker 1: that we were even more connected than I had thought.
Speaker 1: I found out that he enjoys going on the Oscar
Speaker 1: prognostication websites. He likes to Oscar wat and you're talking, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do it all year. I'm talking about Nathaniel Rodgers's website,
Speaker 1: the Film Experience. I'm talking, Oh my god. In contention,
Speaker 1: Chris Tapeley, like, I'm telling you, I'm on these sites
Speaker 1: and I have been since I was young. And what
Speaker 1: got you into because I'll tell you what got Minty
Speaker 1: and I mean into it. I was I was a
Speaker 1: really big fan of Lost and I wanted to find out,
Speaker 1: like how Lost is going to do with the Emmys.
Speaker 1: And that's when I found out about the submission process
Speaker 1: in the tape system and all that, and I got
Speaker 1: really into the Emmy's And I think I've been into
Speaker 1: the Oscar since I was like seven years old. What Titanic?
Speaker 1: But like what got you into it? Like, like what
Speaker 1: made you interested in that aspect of it? Um? Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so interesting. I don't know. I remember like, um,
Speaker 1: I remember like being really into like I liked movies
Speaker 1: and I liked knowing what good movies were. And so
Speaker 1: I think when I realized what the Oscars were and
Speaker 1: like how much my parents liked them, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: what is this about? They were just like oh this
Speaker 1: for like the best movies. I was like, oh, well
Speaker 1: then I need to see all of these, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like being like yeah, this is it.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, well, if the Oscars like them,
Speaker 1: it was how I like knew what good movies were.
Speaker 1: And so then it sort of like a reverse process.
Speaker 1: I think of like, oh, okay, well now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start seeing movies to see which one gets the Oscars
Speaker 1: or like start following them because I guess like My
Speaker 1: first like real year into like being into the Oscars
Speaker 1: was Quiz Show, so that that was the movie Quiz
Speaker 1: Show for some reason, just like I was into This
Speaker 1: is ninety after like okay, so after Forrest Gump, this
Speaker 1: is this is Force to Forrest Gump wins ninety four, um,
Speaker 1: and then English Patient, then Titanic and then the sensibility
Speaker 1: is okay, yeah because Emma Thompson one for adapted screenplay. Yes,
Speaker 1: I loved and I was very excited that year. So
Speaker 1: I remember being Titanic is my definitive favorite Oscars and
Speaker 1: it's my favorite one. I had, like I had seen
Speaker 1: all five I had seen my I had, I saw
Speaker 1: I saw like like confidentially, I saw Google Hunting, I
Speaker 1: saw fuil Monty, I saw Titanic, and I saw, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know as good as it guess, And you had
Speaker 1: an opinion on who should win. I did have an opinion.
Speaker 1: My opinion it was Good Will Hunting because I and
Speaker 1: I still love it and a lot of my passwords
Speaker 1: to my computer, oh my god. But I can't say
Speaker 1: I like the Apple Yes, yeah, yeah, it's very good.
Speaker 1: But a lot of like I would say, they have
Speaker 1: like four or five of them and they're all Google
Speaker 1: Hunting themed. Ah, and so that's all I'll give baby,
Speaker 1: because I got some sensitive stuff and that, yeah, things
Speaker 1: about my future, things about my past, things about people
Speaker 1: I love, and things about people I hate, maybe to
Speaker 1: the vast Can I tell you what my email I got.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a BlackBerry because I don't want anyone breaking in.
Speaker 1: I was seven that year, and I think I only
Speaker 1: saw Titanic, and my parents like allowed me to see
Speaker 1: Titanically close. My eyes were in the boobs, you know,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yes, Titanic all the way, but
Speaker 1: like looking back, like, god, damn, is that like a
Speaker 1: shitty movie? It's like yes in terms like Okay, when
Speaker 1: was the last time you watched it recently? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is like a like it's I like, but here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I'm in the theater watching my family. I saw Titanic
Speaker 1: in the theater how many times? Seven times? Three hours committed.
Speaker 1: I know it is insane amount, but I left and
Speaker 1: I started going to other movies, and I went to
Speaker 1: That's how I saw Google Hunting, and that's how I
Speaker 1: saw how did you get into l A Confidential? I
Speaker 1: saw I just like walk because you'd buy the ticket
Speaker 1: with my family to go see that around that time
Speaker 1: did basically back then I was around I can say that.
Speaker 1: But then I also saw Boogie Nights. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you saw book Nights young, Oh wow, Bookie Knights might
Speaker 1: be the best movie out of all those. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Bookie Knights is outrageous, like the first Hour of Nights. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for it was the same year Burt Reynolds, and then
Speaker 1: also screenplay, and then also Julian Moore, Julian Julianne Moore
Speaker 1: was so good as Amber Waves movies. And I remember
Speaker 1: Heather Graham one breakout star at the MTV Movie Awards,
Speaker 1: Philip around the I don't know, he was amazing, stupid,
Speaker 1: stupid and then just him like clutching that clipboard with
Speaker 1: his ten in his mouth. So it's such a good movie.
Speaker 1: That's evocative. That movie is really it is very very good.
Speaker 1: I remember the next year I think that, or maybe
Speaker 1: not the next year, maybe two years later. Yes, it
Speaker 1: was when Shakespeare in Love one ninety eight. American Beauty
Speaker 1: was one of those Shakespeare Shakespeare in Loved one, and
Speaker 1: then at Beautiful Minds okay, then too no Chicago, Chicago,
Speaker 1: and then three was oh, my god, million No four, No,
Speaker 1: million dollar babies. Two thousand seven, I think that's right.
Speaker 1: Two four was. I think it was a million dollar baby.
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna three. No, it's not two thousand
Speaker 1: three million dollar because thousand three was the year of cold.
Speaker 1: Mountains didn't win best. I know it was the year
Speaker 1: of cold, because yes, yes, yes, yes, two thousand four
Speaker 1: was a million dollar baby. I'm willing to bet. Okay,
Speaker 1: yes it might have been. I'm getting two of them
Speaker 1: confused because two thousand seven was the year of dream girls,
Speaker 1: which means that something else one no, So al right,
Speaker 1: So I won an oscar contest on Awards Daily dot com.
Speaker 1: You can look up the interview Talk Awards Daily Come.
Speaker 1: She interviewed me just by email. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go crazy. My literally my my interview on this website

Speaker 1: She doesn't. Six They departed seven country from No Country. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's what wanted for me. By the way, that year,
Speaker 1: I can tell you really quickly it was a spoiler.
Speaker 1: It was I picked Tilda. And remember I remember seeing
Speaker 1: Michael Clayton when it was the first time I ever
Speaker 1: became aware of till Twitten, and I'm like, she was
Speaker 1: incredible and so good. That movie is awesome. The scene
Speaker 1: at the end when he walked away from her and
Speaker 1: in the background she just collapses to the floor. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that was so good. And also the whole
Speaker 1: scene we're in the beginning where she's ironing, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and she's in the bathroom and she's like sweating too.
Speaker 1: She was in that she's so good. She's really really
Speaker 1: really really dontry does a Millionaire? Two thousand nine is
Speaker 1: she says, I'm already forgetting her Locker Pography thousand ten,
Speaker 1: Kings Speech, Social Network, Yes, Social Network is so good?
Speaker 1: Can we listen? Listen? These are the movies that weren't
Speaker 1: up against king speech. It was the King's Speech, a
Speaker 1: D seven Hours, Black Swan, The Fighter Inception, The Kids
Speaker 1: Are all Right, Social Network, Toy Story three, True Grid,
Speaker 1: and Winter's Bone. And I'm gonna go ahead and say
Speaker 1: that every single movie I just listed better than I
Speaker 1: was I. You know, I love Colin Firth, and you
Speaker 1: know I think he gives a great performance. That what
Speaker 1: he's not coming on he's not hot. Let's start. I
Speaker 1: don't think right now. I don't think so, honey, right now.
Speaker 1: I don't think right now, right now, emerge you. I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think so honey. There's nothing that
Speaker 1: is saying you want to come from me later I will.
Speaker 1: You don't mean this. You're saying this to hurt people.
Speaker 1: You're saying this to be provocative. You're a meloation Meloi
Speaker 1: year Lucian Artist saw that movie with twelve was fucking
Speaker 1: stupid ass Argo. I like argos it is racist, but god,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like, you know, the one
Speaker 1: that you're either zero dark thirty or zero dark is great,
Speaker 1: Argo More he said the Southern Wild Djengo unchained, No thanks,
Speaker 1: lame is Life of Pie. No no, no, no, no, Lincoln,
Speaker 1: no thanks. Several lines playbook I liked. I was fine
Speaker 1: with it, and I remember thinking to myself, you know what,
Speaker 1: I wish this was the standard for romantic comedy. Sure,
Speaker 1: it was a good romantic common The first time I
Speaker 1: saw it, I was like, what was that bullshit? And
Speaker 1: the second time I saw it, I was crying. Interesting,
Speaker 1: what made you want to see it again? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: wanted to give it another chance because everyone was so
Speaker 1: fat about it, and I was like, maybe it was
Speaker 1: I wasn't in a good mood. Maybe it was something
Speaker 1: I missed. And I watched it again and it really
Speaker 1: affected me. Actually, I love Silver Lines. Actually it makes
Speaker 1: me give David or Russell the benefit of the doubt now, um,
Speaker 1: but I really don't be Finally that I actually hate
Speaker 1: that movie. I love and he was the worst in
Speaker 1: that movie. To the actors. So that's amazing. That was, like,
Speaker 1: I feel like a birth of like a viral video totalty.
Speaker 1: I mean like it really shook me. I was shook,
Speaker 1: honey the next year years, it couldn't get enough of it.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't want you to think of that,
Speaker 1: but I just like thinking about It's like a popcorn flick.
Speaker 1: There's some movies that are just like great, They're fantastic.
Speaker 1: There's so much to sit through, like a way that
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, it is very clear. My god.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to. I didn't know, but you did, though,
Speaker 1: and that's okay, And I don't think I wi never
Speaker 1: forget it. Fourteen was Birdman. Oh, I loved it. I
Speaker 1: liked Birdman, Okay, I loved it. Was spotlight and my
Speaker 1: parents liked it. I wanted mad Max. Oh that's sure.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, like I said before, I'm
Speaker 1: scared of a movie like that. And we were so
Speaker 1: we were stoned. But Matt, you didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: And literally I got my life at that movie. I
Speaker 1: was screaming, laughing, crying, yearned, none of the learning and
Speaker 1: gasping learning, yearning. Girl. We saw this at the Times Square, AMC.
Speaker 1: Bitch you couldn't get your life. No we no, we
Speaker 1: didn't bitch. We saw in Times Square, m C. I
Speaker 1: promised I could swear we sta you can't even get
Speaker 1: your life right now? Fine, All I know is Charlie's
Speaker 1: gave me everything, and Charlie's is my favorite actress. Also,
Speaker 1: give me some more wine. Guys. As we've been doing this,
Speaker 1: we've been drinking more and more wine. So listen, this
Speaker 1: is what I want to talk about. Okay, um, what
Speaker 1: what what? What have the awards of prognostical sites, So
Speaker 1: can I tell you what they're saying, which literally blows
Speaker 1: my mind is just saying this year and the Stone
Speaker 1: is definitely going to win an Oscar Oh my god,
Speaker 1: for a musical called La La Land. Was Ryan Goslin?
Speaker 1: I feel like that movie is They said undisputable. That's undisputed.
Speaker 1: Now who said that? Fucking Sasha? Did she? She was
Speaker 1: like it would be very difficult. Well, because this is
Speaker 1: this is the bullshit around the Oscars in terms of
Speaker 1: Best Actress, and this is statistics and this is just
Speaker 1: red wine. By the way, this goes to show you
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with here in terms of Hollywood, the
Speaker 1: mean age of the Best Actress Oscar winner is twenty nine.
Speaker 1: That means that usually girls you only have a couple
Speaker 1: of years later you're talking to, Yeah, if we're gonna
Speaker 1: win Best Actress, we better get to work. I've got
Speaker 1: I've got a half decade, and I get I think
Speaker 1: she's just a little bit younger than twenty nine, so
Speaker 1: she'd be a little bit young for it. But she's
Speaker 1: all right. She's like, do you remember her in the
Speaker 1: Partridge Family Reality? Yes? I do? You do? You don't remember? Yes?
Speaker 1: I did a lot. The first time I saw he
Speaker 1: was Zombie Lane and I was like, who's this that was?
Speaker 1: You didn't see her in Super Bad and Bad too? Yes?
Speaker 1: I remember seeing her super Bad, being like, honestly, she's
Speaker 1: a thing for being like, there's something about her. I
Speaker 1: love emistone. I just I just I have a hard
Speaker 1: time swallowing like Academy Award winner Emerstone. I just have
Speaker 1: a hard feel like she's good. Like I just saw
Speaker 1: a trailer for that film the other day and I
Speaker 1: was like, I couldn't pretty. It does look very pretty,
Speaker 1: but it also looks like the Best Picture nominee that
Speaker 1: I I loathe. Oh sure, called don't do it? No,
Speaker 1: don't you dare? Don't you dare? Why would why would
Speaker 1: you do this? How would I do? What about Mulan
Speaker 1: Rouge is bad to you? Everything? The best movie? Who best? Best?
Speaker 1: Called Romeo and Juliet because it was written by a master.
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. Here's you know I'm not. I
Speaker 1: will get out. I walk out of this podcast right now.
Speaker 1: I will walk out of this God, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for having me. There's I don't get it. Nicole
Speaker 1: Kidman deserved to win. She was so good. You are what?
Speaker 1: What are we? Where are we? What are we dealing with?
Speaker 1: Here is talent? Excuse me. I'm not talking about the
Speaker 1: fact that Nicole Kidman is not talented. I think Nicole
Speaker 1: Kiman is very talented. And you can watch Rabbit Hole,
Speaker 1: you can watch to Die For. Yes, I love Sandra Oh.
Speaker 1: I think she's great. I wouldn't say starring, but she's
Speaker 1: in it. I wouldn't say starring really at all, but
Speaker 1: here's the star movies starringies. I interrupted, no, but I'm
Speaker 1: just saying Nicole Kidman has a lot of talent in
Speaker 1: if you feel like it was mostly on display. During
Speaker 1: Mulan Rouge. Then I feel like you have judgment there.
Speaker 1: I'm getting moving away away from you, away from here,
Speaker 1: away from them. She did not deserve the oscar for
Speaker 1: the hours she was so bad in that movie. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. The reason she won an oscar
Speaker 1: for the hours that bad they didn't give it too
Speaker 1: from Mulan Rouge because they gave it to halle Berry
Speaker 1: for taking a top off Caliberry did not deserve the
Speaker 1: Academy Award for that Monster's ball. Bannon just I don't care,
Speaker 1: took up his classes. Here we go. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I feel like you do care, and that the only
Speaker 1: reason you're screaming I don't care is because you know
Speaker 1: I all chose three different wrong. Yeah, his I did
Speaker 1: this that Joel kim Buster. If you were listening, you
Speaker 1: host a show called that movie that movie new title,
Speaker 1: I hate that ship if you were listening, So you
Speaker 1: know my feelings about Mulan because I did my little
Speaker 1: performance about that. And let me tell you, I would
Speaker 1: have brought a tomato to that show. And oh guess what,
Speaker 1: I love Greek salad. Man. I need to hear you,
Speaker 1: I need to hear you talk about this this is
Speaker 1: crazy to me. It is so bad. There's literally when
Speaker 1: was the last time you saw it? How old were you?
Speaker 1: Probably yesterday? I watched it every day. No, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you when I last saw it. And I can appreciate
Speaker 1: even more as I get older, because you know what,
Speaker 1: it's fun. No, it's not it last year. What I
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't seen it. I will tell you. Do
Speaker 1: you find the incoherent? I find it incoherent. I find
Speaker 1: it disturbing to look at. I find it very very
Speaker 1: I thought, like the there's not the musicality of it.
Speaker 1: If you're going to take these songs and you're going
Speaker 1: to mash them up like that, that they sound like
Speaker 1: they literally sound like garbage together. I do not need
Speaker 1: it smells like teen sparret or uh. And I do
Speaker 1: not need whatever whatever it's fucking mashed up with to
Speaker 1: be like to get it's just awful. And then also
Speaker 1: Jim Broadbent like his like stupid big scary face just
Speaker 1: coming up into the screen screaming like card Girl. And
Speaker 1: then it's just like he was. He was so good.
Speaker 1: You know, if you want to see commitment, fucking watch
Speaker 1: um Oh. I don't know, Capodi. I feel like that, Yes,
Speaker 1: what are you going to see on the Oscar for Compe?
Speaker 1: Did win the Oscar for Campodi and he deserved it.
Speaker 1: This is to say that the Oscars always get it right.
Speaker 1: They gave Jennifer Hudson an Acting Award. You know she
Speaker 1: deserved it. You do not just spe Jennifer Hudson's They say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, she's of that movie is is problematic,
Speaker 1: but her voice is she very Yeah, she's a great push.
Speaker 1: She should win many Grammys, not the Academy Award. I'm
Speaker 1: glad it's kept her career going. Also, I think even
Speaker 1: though he's playing Lumier and you know, I love you
Speaker 1: and McGregor, I don't think that was the best display
Speaker 1: of his voice. He sounded like French police irate, like
Speaker 1: he literally yes, yes, it's just like everything. It's like
Speaker 1: if you break it down and you watch it unwatchable, Matt. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have a question then, and I think this is
Speaker 1: worth asking. So you and McGregor, he's an actor who sinks.
Speaker 1: Nicole Kimman an actress who sinks. Wouldn't we rather have
Speaker 1: that than a singer who can barely act in a musical? Okay?
Speaker 1: So then I agree that you can find both, but
Speaker 1: they have been interested in doing that, So what's the
Speaker 1: better thing? Well, okay, I don't know. It's you're basically
Speaker 1: saying they haven't been interested in doing both, so like
Speaker 1: I have to now pick between one or the other.
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. What I take a an actor who
Speaker 1: can sing, Yes, I probably would in terms of a
Speaker 1: film and probably in terms of a play. Like there's
Speaker 1: nothing worse than like a musical if you're gonna because
Speaker 1: it's all of it combined together. But if you look
Speaker 1: back and you think about like like I think about
Speaker 1: like Shirley McClain, right, Like Shirley McClain is a legit
Speaker 1: triple threat. You know what I'm saying, they don't. And
Speaker 1: like she's like like she's you know, doing her thing
Speaker 1: in Sweet Charity and like all of the people like
Speaker 1: um rita moreno and like you know to that in
Speaker 1: recent years, she's probably Kevin data Is. She's like full
Speaker 1: on in Chicago and she's she's really really, really really
Speaker 1: Renee is good in that movie. And John c Riley
Speaker 1: is good in that movie, and he's got a great voice.
Speaker 1: I think the thing that love They all point yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I um My point is is that I feel like
Speaker 1: it depends because you know, it's studio recordings, right, so
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to him. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sitting here saying that you and Gregor Nichol Kimman
Speaker 1: are bad, and I'm not saying that they're like. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that that for me, the entire composition of
Speaker 1: that film is underwhelming. And I also think that part
Speaker 1: of it was my best friends in high school saying
Speaker 1: to me, you've got to see this. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: believe it. You're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna love it. And I walk into the movie
Speaker 1: theater and I see this, and I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: what do you think? I am sure you think this
Speaker 1: is me? You think this is what I like? Just
Speaker 1: what do you think I like? I like substance. I
Speaker 1: cried so much when when she's coughing a blood one
Speaker 1: of my least favorite movie tropes, Oh sure that is that?
Speaker 1: That that's kind of tired. We have to maybe that
Speaker 1: movie trope. It's not TV, it's the it's coughing up blood.
Speaker 1: It's like a moment of it happened romanticized for a reason.
Speaker 1: That's the point of the movie. Okay, I missed the
Speaker 1: point of the movie. I am I then I you
Speaker 1: know what, don't apologize. No, I'm going to no. No,
Speaker 1: I want everyone to listen to this right now. Matt
Speaker 1: Rogers bullied me into apologize. No. Well, let's let's let
Speaker 1: the tables then, I mean, what's in We can probably
Speaker 1: find a movie that I hate that you like. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: let me see one of these oscaritise fucking good taste
Speaker 1: one of these Oscar movies. Um, I really loved um.
Speaker 1: Did you guys see see this is very hard. You know,
Speaker 1: I love Shaco a lot. Um I would say, you know,
Speaker 1: I liked I liked all of the ninety seven. I mean,
Speaker 1: what do you want me to say? Like I like
Speaker 1: slum Doug million I like um, Like, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: It was the first time I ever smoked weed. Was
Speaker 1: slum Dog Millionaire, really years old. Smoked a little bit
Speaker 1: of weed when I go say some Doug Millionaire was
Speaker 1: in the movie theater the scene where they hit the
Speaker 1: mom with the with the stick. I had to go
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. I had a panic attack. God, you know,
Speaker 1: I quit smoking weed like eight months ago. And then
Speaker 1: I had two pot cookies. I was in Seattle recently
Speaker 1: and I had two pot cookies, lost my mind, pretended
Speaker 1: I was jone by z for an hour and a half,
Speaker 1: and then I had such a full blown panted attack
Speaker 1: that around like one am West Coast time, called my
Speaker 1: best friend here in New York, which is four am,
Speaker 1: and had her talk me down off a fucking ledge.
Speaker 1: I had lost my mind. And that's how out of
Speaker 1: practice I am on getting high babies. I mean, for me,
Speaker 1: it's just like every guy. And sometimes now I'm starting
Speaker 1: to wonder, is it affecting my memory? Do you feel
Speaker 1: creative on it? Though? M hm? Can I tell you
Speaker 1: something I've been confronting over the past month, But I
Speaker 1: don't feel as creative as I used to. I think
Speaker 1: I'm having an off. Does it have to do to
Speaker 1: do with weed or No? I don't think it does.
Speaker 1: I think it well for everyone listening, I mean plan
Speaker 1: and I aren't going to l a anymore. That felt
Speaker 1: oh yeah, so like, thanks for answering my text about that.
Speaker 1: By the way, I appreciate we didn't know I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying because oh my god, this is I'm going
Speaker 1: to go home and have a panic attack about like,
Speaker 1: I hope everyone knows I was joking. I do respect you.
Speaker 1: I love you very much. I know my god. No,
Speaker 1: this is great. This is the historic moment in loss culturestas.
Speaker 1: This is one of the highlights our fiery Oscar Mulan
Speaker 1: Rouge argument. Definitely okay, but anyway, yeah, Bone and I
Speaker 1: are not going to l anymore, etcetera, etcetera for a
Speaker 1: bunch of reasons. It's good, um, but I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel a malaise. But yeah, because of that, I
Speaker 1: feel like something I gave a lot to wanting that
Speaker 1: to happen, not even wanting it to happen. I gave
Speaker 1: a lot to it happening emotionally, and now that's not happening.
Speaker 1: It just feels like who you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like it's like we need to take a second. And
Speaker 1: I personally feel like I'm not creating a lot right now.
Speaker 1: But I do think I'm doing a lot right now.
Speaker 1: We planned our lives around five months of our of
Speaker 1: our lives around it, which it sucks. I mean it's
Speaker 1: for the best, that is, I mean, on people, it's
Speaker 1: for the best. But we sort of have to shift
Speaker 1: our our our minds a little bit. It's all good.
Speaker 1: And I also like to be honest with you. I
Speaker 1: didn't even really want to go like I love I
Speaker 1: love New York. There you go. Okay, on ads, did
Speaker 1: you hate that I was born? That movie when the Oscar? Yeah, actually,
Speaker 1: can we cut that out? I was and the movie
Speaker 1: was driving Miss Daisy. It was Dances with Wolves, Bitch,
Speaker 1: Dances with Wolves? Ninety one is um is unforgiven? Is
Speaker 1: it un forgiven? Two is unforgiven? And the ninety one
Speaker 1: is one of them is Philadelphia? No, no, no, Tom
Speaker 1: Hanks one. Ok I'm doing all this for memory, guys,
Speaker 1: and no, honestly it's it's crazy and I feel the
Speaker 1: same way. And also I could do this with the Emmies.
Speaker 1: I could do. Okay, we're talking about more movies that
Speaker 1: are coming out. Well, okay, so let's let's talk. God,
Speaker 1: I got us all off track. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: you didn't at all. I'm like, I'm really to see
Speaker 1: other people. I mean, I hope that Molly Shannon gets
Speaker 1: nominated for Best Supporting I wh where they're pushing her.
Speaker 1: I think I think that would be wonderful. I I
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about that. But but I do
Speaker 1: know that I've seen the movie a few times and
Speaker 1: each time she gets me Oh my god, I just
Speaker 1: even thinking about the movie, I'm like so wildly like
Speaker 1: just like in love with her performance and Jesse Plemons performance.
Speaker 1: It's so so good. I just highly I I cannot wait,
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Such it's such a wonderful. Do you
Speaker 1: want to talk about movie? How how was to to
Speaker 1: to make it? Or yeah? Oh yeah, I mean I was, I, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's very exciting. I don't know, I think
Speaker 1: it was, like I feel I I kind of feel
Speaker 1: weird talking because only I was only on set for
Speaker 1: like one one day. But um, you know, it's written
Speaker 1: by Chris Kelly and directed by Chris Kelly, and so
Speaker 1: it's like super or like, um amazing to watch that happened.
Speaker 1: That he's a friend of mine, and uh and I
Speaker 1: was so grateful that he offered me a chance to
Speaker 1: be a little part of it. And I would have
Speaker 1: to say that like that he nailed it. I mean
Speaker 1: like he just he just nailed it. And and I
Speaker 1: think I did. I emailed this too. I think maybe
Speaker 1: Darcy or Cardon and or whatever. But like Darcy Cardon
Speaker 1: is also a movie. You get to do a scene
Speaker 1: with her, and I will say in the most like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so sentimental and su no,
Speaker 1: but I will say that I was one of the
Speaker 1: most one of the most exciting and proud moments or not,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say proud, but like just lovely
Speaker 1: moments of my life. Is that if you would have
Speaker 1: asked me, like when I started, yeah stuff, what my
Speaker 1: dream would be would be to be in a movie
Speaker 1: with friends of mine. That the fact that a friend
Speaker 1: of mine directed this incredible movie like amazing, and then
Speaker 1: I got to be on screen with one my best
Speaker 1: friends as well, like just for even like two seconds.
Speaker 1: Is I'm I could you could? You could say goodbye
Speaker 1: right now and I'd be like, all right, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And that is a really yes. And
Speaker 1: I think that I don't you know, I don't even
Speaker 1: know Chris, but I do feel like proud of him,
Speaker 1: you know, like I I feel like, you know, this
Speaker 1: is somebody who's like this is crazy. I watched his
Speaker 1: like it gets better, yes, and like it helped me.
Speaker 1: I remember what I remember the days where he was
Speaker 1: at the Onion and our friend David was working with him,
Speaker 1: and it's like he's come, He's come all this way.
Speaker 1: It's it's just so exciting. And then to see everyone
Speaker 1: up there and then in this movie and also the
Speaker 1: movie just be about something real and it not just
Speaker 1: be you know, it's not just any other comedy, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like it's not it's it's a
Speaker 1: really real movie and a lot of truth to him,
Speaker 1: it's it's like, yeah, like the scenes in the film
Speaker 1: are like he I don't know how he did it,
Speaker 1: but um, obviously he's very talented, so that's how. But
Speaker 1: like I don't like technically, I don't know how he did,
Speaker 1: but he got he got this perfect balance between something
Speaker 1: very genuine and something very raw and very difficult to
Speaker 1: look at, to watch, to intake, and then just blended
Speaker 1: it with like just like rhythmically perfectly the comedy and
Speaker 1: in the in certain moments, and that he chose to
Speaker 1: use comedians to to be like Molly Shannon is like
Speaker 1: this main and she is out of this world. We
Speaker 1: need to see more of that. I think we need
Speaker 1: to see more of people taking risks with casting because
Speaker 1: how cool is it to see Molly shan and turn
Speaker 1: out a great dramatic performance. And you know, there's so
Speaker 1: many people like that that are capable of that. Remember
Speaker 1: Maya Rudolph and away we go, Oh yeah, she's so
Speaker 1: good in it. She's got that monologue at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so good. And you know, even like Amy Poehler and
Speaker 1: Tina Fey in their work, they have these kind of
Speaker 1: moments of like pathos where you're like, yeah, there might
Speaker 1: be something else there. Yeah, they're always said, um, And
Speaker 1: you know Jim carries dramatic work and Williams dramatic work,
Speaker 1: and we'll be Goldberg's dramatic work. Like it's just like
Speaker 1: there's something about comedians and yeah, there's something about comedians. No,
Speaker 1: but it's very true that, like it is fun to watch.
Speaker 1: I think, um people, I think. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a predisposition from watch it's that's the right word.
Speaker 1: Like when you're watching them, you have a predecision about
Speaker 1: them where you're like, oh, they're gonna make me laugh.
Speaker 1: Prec notion, that's what it is. Excuse me whatever, um no,
Speaker 1: the like, and you're like, I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: gonna make me laugh, they're gonna make me laugh, I'm
Speaker 1: waiting for it. I'm waiting for it, and it doesn't happen,
Speaker 1: or something slightly off happens, and like have you ever
Speaker 1: seen like, um uh god, he like made a Year
Speaker 1: of the Dog and he made um your Mike uh
Speaker 1: um um Mike, Oh god, he's he cowork created um
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm blinking on all of his stuff now.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. But no, no, no, like Mike Lee movies.
Speaker 1: You ever seen Happy Go Lucky? That's a great one.
Speaker 1: What's his um he um, it's it's that. It was
Speaker 1: the TV show with Laura Dernlay and Mike White. God,
Speaker 1: I was like I couldn't remember. Mike White also did
Speaker 1: School of Rock and like yeah and The Good Girl,
Speaker 1: like he has got like really like he's his films
Speaker 1: are have like that sort of like likence. But then
Speaker 1: I think he does a good job of like casting
Speaker 1: like me. It's like jack Black in like School of
Speaker 1: Rocks like a great performance. Also performance in School of
Speaker 1: Rock is Michael Hartney when you should have School of Rock. Um. So,
Speaker 1: if I had to say something I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: for the Oscars in this year, I guess you know
Speaker 1: I Jackie the trailer came out today with Natalie Partman
Speaker 1: as Jackie Kennedy. I think that's going to be exciting.
Speaker 1: It's like such a trophy grab. I'm gonna go. Let's
Speaker 1: all go right now. And also, we got a couple
Speaker 1: big sci fi movies out this year, and the one
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about is Arrival with Amy Adams and
Speaker 1: Who I Live For. I Live, Yeah, Dropped Gorgeous. That
Speaker 1: was her first movie, I know, and she crushed crushed
Speaker 1: it and that was her first movie. And then she
Speaker 1: didn't work for like several years. And I remember seeing
Speaker 1: her again in like June Bug and all, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, Amy Adams and they were like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, Oh yeah, Adams. I'm like what,

Speaker 1: of that movie. Our producer Joe was shaking, you want
Speaker 1: to get involved, Okay, he's always he's always involved. One thing,
Speaker 1: we'll interview draw, we'll find out all the tea. I
Speaker 1: think that would be. That would be a good that's
Speaker 1: a nice good thing. I have such I'm such a
Speaker 1: sucker for like that sci fi b he too, Like
Speaker 1: I loved inception inception, which, yes, inception, Um, I get that.
Speaker 1: Did you like what the other one was? The Interstellar?
Speaker 1: I really didn't like Interstellar and I I just thought
Speaker 1: it was just too much, like I didn't really get
Speaker 1: what it was going for and I got Also the
Speaker 1: sound mixing was really bad. I couldn't hear anything I
Speaker 1: think that was that's intentional. Could have been the theater
Speaker 1: I was at also could have been intentional. But the
Speaker 1: whole last monologue that Ellen Burston gives, I couldn't hear
Speaker 1: a word of it. And I was like, maybe it
Speaker 1: was poignant, but I'll never know. And I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan. I love The Dark Knight. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: good movie. And I love The Dark Knight Rises. And Hathaway,
Speaker 1: I thought she was amazing. Thoughts On and Hathaway before

Speaker 1: that like it's just it's the best culture, you know,
Speaker 1: you know who's severely underrated. Now that she's coming back, baby,
Speaker 1: I went back and listened to her old her old
Speaker 1: stuff when she's saying like really like like ballroomy jazzy
Speaker 1: stuff is such a good thing. Oh my god. I
Speaker 1: love like you're talking like like seventies eighties, but do
Speaker 1: you want to dance like such good music? I love her.
Speaker 1: She was like a huge I mean like she was

Speaker 1: to describe because she wasn't an actress. She wasn't exclusively
Speaker 1: a saying you know what I'm saying. I mean, she
Speaker 1: was all these things right right, but like I think
Speaker 1: she was just like her breakout movie was The Rose
Speaker 1: where she played a rock star who ended up like
Speaker 1: with a drug problem and she was kind of it
Speaker 1: was kind of stuff came out of that jannics Chaplin's
Speaker 1: life story that and that was she was nominated for
Speaker 1: an Oscar and that started her career. But that's very
Speaker 1: much like why everyone was like paying attention to her,
Speaker 1: and then she kind of became like the Bett Mittler
Speaker 1: kind of vaudevillian movie star. I love it though it
Speaker 1: annual Halloween party so huge, I mean hocus Pocus changed
Speaker 1: my life. Just seeing her, I was like, who is
Speaker 1: that movie? Is hocus Pocus? Um might have been? Actually,
Speaker 1: I would have wagered to guess that hocus Pocus is
Speaker 1: very formative in one Lady Gaga's life would be interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean if she she's like how old is she?
Speaker 1: How old is okay? Okay? Yeah, I would say that

Speaker 1: please edit that one? They're easily Alright, We've had this
Speaker 1: discussion for a long time. It's time to move into
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of our show. It's time for I don't
Speaker 1: think so honey. Now, as we know, I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey. Is the moment of everyone's weak um when
Speaker 1: they tune in, they always I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: And here it is, um. We have sixty seconds of
Speaker 1: real against anything in culture that's making you mad. And
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe it gets real, maybe it gets silly,
Speaker 1: maybe it's prepared, maybe it's not that. You know what,
Speaker 1: Here it comes and bone and I think I always
Speaker 1: go first. You go first this time because I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear what I have to say. Alright, fine,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm really nervous about don't be nervous
Speaker 1: listening to yours and then not thinking ab I have?
Speaker 1: I have nothing prepared for this. I don't think so honey,
Speaker 1: Matt Rogers, time starts now. I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: Split sider. You guys came from my friends Rachel Winnitski
Speaker 1: and Ned Riseley today and they released an amazing video
Speaker 1: and you released a fucking bullshit article about it, and
Speaker 1: you should retract it. It should be edited, or it
Speaker 1: should be apologized for. And I'm serious because what you
Speaker 1: did is you posted a video and what you should
Speaker 1: have done and you should have drawn attention to a
Speaker 1: great piece of musical comedy. One should look up friends
Speaker 1: who folk and enjoy it. But what you did was
Speaker 1: you were like, oh, the harmonies in this are bullshit
Speaker 1: and grading. Think about what the word grading means when
Speaker 1: you when you put up something that's sung by a
Speaker 1: woman in a game. Man. That's all I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: about that, Splitsider. I'm not happy about this. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. I think that you tried to be
Speaker 1: funny when it's your drop to comment on the funny. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I think that splitsider should retract this article by
Speaker 1: Luke Kelly Kleine, and I think that you need to
Speaker 1: let it go. I don't think so. That's one minute.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the most fearless, the most incendiary, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Kind I feel and he's posing, and
Speaker 1: he's posing, looking at him, I'm going to take a
Speaker 1: picture of this. Don't come from my friends, for your friends.
Speaker 1: I need to take your pictures. Matt's pose right now, Wow. Wow, Okay, wow,
Speaker 1: I'm going to post this later, and I know the
Speaker 1: writer out of that article and I expect better, so
Speaker 1: I know why you're better. Oh my god, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's really easy to come from people that
Speaker 1: actually creates the Look okay, they did not read. I'm upset.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to invalidate. Go ahead, I want everyone
Speaker 1: to reader. And I posted it today. Bone posted it today.
Speaker 1: Rachel Wines posted today. David Sea of the director who
Speaker 1: deserves a lot more respect from that post than it today.
Speaker 1: It was bullshit. You know what, if you enjoy something,
Speaker 1: you want to talk about it, and you want to
Speaker 1: post it, then put it up. Don't give me some
Speaker 1: side commentary about how the harmonies are grading. You can
Speaker 1: hold a harmony for your goddamn life. Oh girl, okay,
Speaker 1: sounds good. It's so funny. How dare you? I sent
Speaker 1: Splitsider just the editor in chief of an email today.
Speaker 1: I was like, hi, this, I was glad to see
Speaker 1: that this got some coverage, but I was glad that
Speaker 1: this gotta right up. But look like the way this
Speaker 1: was written was very naggy. It was very like, Wow,
Speaker 1: I didn't you know you don't. You don't want to
Speaker 1: watch this past the thirty second mark, but once you do,
Speaker 1: it's worth it. It's I'm not gonna give too much away,
Speaker 1: but it's one of the funniest things I've seen a
Speaker 1: long time. The first line of the article is god,
Speaker 1: the and this are grading, I mean really bad. I
Speaker 1: guess it's it's like Rachel Winitzky and ned Riley have
Speaker 1: good voices and all, but dot dot dot. It's like,
Speaker 1: shut up, what, what's the point of this? It goes
Speaker 1: on to later though, say it goes on to give
Speaker 1: some vague superlative thing and then no. But you should
Speaker 1: definitely keep watching it. Seriously, even though the first thirty
Speaker 1: seconds are bullshit, you should keep watching it. The first
Speaker 1: three seconds are not bullshit. You're bullshit articles bullshit, and
Speaker 1: I'm really insulted by it. This is and this and
Speaker 1: I know it is real, and I'm like, I'm serious,
Speaker 1: this is stupid and this is like common culture has
Speaker 1: now gone to this place now where none of us
Speaker 1: even fucking know each other, but we're all tearing each
Speaker 1: other down. And this is like fellow comedians and people
Speaker 1: are trying to do their thing and you're not a critic. Dude,
Speaker 1: I guess that's like the point then, like if you're not, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess that was not a critic, and it's like,
Speaker 1: it's not your job to critique. It wasn't like this
Speaker 1: is a review of this piece. It was like you
Speaker 1: posting it willingly. And it's like they put a lot
Speaker 1: to work into that. A lot of work goes into
Speaker 1: musical comedy. You should know because your your group back
Speaker 1: in the I tried to half do it. Oh girl,
Speaker 1: you are I'm sorry, but like this, it was bullshit
Speaker 1: and I really don't appreciate. Okay, all right, well I
Speaker 1: guess I guess I'll go. I really don't have anything
Speaker 1: prepared and it will not be nearly as incendiary. That's
Speaker 1: why I didn't want to go first. I don't care.
Speaker 1: I fully stand behind what I said. Yes, of course,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you. I'm glad you said that. Um, because
Speaker 1: Rachel Winniski is one of the most brilliant people I know,
Speaker 1: and she's an amazing writer, an incredible singer, and a
Speaker 1: really great comedian. And for anyone to come out there
Speaker 1: and preface her by saying, wow, her voice is grading
Speaker 1: fuck and you lost my respect Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: I think I'm ready. Sorry, brand, I'm gonna change my
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Now, don't change it. I'm kidding. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Are you gonna till me? Yeah? Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm a little this is yay. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Jeal feels about what I just did.
Speaker 1: Um go, I don't think so, honey. Undecided voters in
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania who talk back at me while I'm phone banking
Speaker 1: for Hillary, motherfucking Rodham Clinton, you want to come at
Speaker 1: me and say, well, I don't just hang up the phone.
Speaker 1: I would rather you hang up the phone, even scream
Speaker 1: at me if you want to, but do not troll
Speaker 1: me while I'm calling you to see trying to trying
Speaker 1: to gauge who you're gonna support in November. But you say, well,
Speaker 1: who do you think is gonna win? I I called
Speaker 1: this man up. I said hello, is this person here
Speaker 1: at home? And the person answer said no, this is
Speaker 1: his father. He was incarcerated because he got into a
Speaker 1: domestic dispute with his girlfriend. And I don't support and
Speaker 1: I think she's lying. And I was like, well, I
Speaker 1: don't want to get into this with you, and then
Speaker 1: he asked me who I thought was gonna win, and
Speaker 1: I go, whin, I'm calling from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Speaker 1: Who do you think I think it's gonna win? And
Speaker 1: I said Hillary Clinton and he said, well, I'm voting
Speaker 1: for Hilly, but Donald Trump is my man, and I quote,
Speaker 1: he said, Donald Trump has got the popular vote, unlock,
Speaker 1: and I laughed. I laughed across the receiver. I laughed
Speaker 1: across the lawn. Honey, you are not a worthy voter
Speaker 1: for this democratic tenant. But I don't think so, Honey,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. Seven seconds so you
Speaker 1: call and I announce yourself as somebody calling from the
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton campaign, and then he asks you who you
Speaker 1: think is gonna and I said, wow, I think I
Speaker 1: think Hillary if if the polls are indicating anything, and
Speaker 1: he goes, now, see, I think I think Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is connecting with people, and he said, I'm
Speaker 1: going to vote for Hillary, but don it made no
Speaker 1: sense speaking of nagging. He was nagging me, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I can't deal with the people anymore, and
Speaker 1: he can't, and he um and he just can't. Before
Speaker 1: I got off the phone with him, he was like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you can reach my son, but you know,
Speaker 1: this domestic bullshit, it sucks like it's it's a woman's
Speaker 1: word over his now and I'm like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about this with you. Oh my god, it
Speaker 1: was so uncomfortable. I've been I'm voting for good, Thank god,
Speaker 1: I was. I was having you imagine I who knows
Speaker 1: anymore because it's all too real. Oh my god. But
Speaker 1: I mean, like we I guess we don't know each
Speaker 1: other politically that well, but like, come on, come on,
Speaker 1: you know I'm making the right No, I know you
Speaker 1: would make the right decision. Okay, Um, yes, ras have
Speaker 1: been some heavy I don't think so, honey, but I
Speaker 1: think I think you can bring us better. Come hard,
Speaker 1: mine's gonna be niche probably now I think of no
Speaker 1: is not going to be very interested. Okay, well this
Speaker 1: is this is a technically culture. But here we go.
Speaker 1: Are you ready. I don't think so, honey, Brandon Scott Jones.
Speaker 1: Time starts now. Okay, I don't think so, honey. City
Speaker 1: of Toronto and your bullshit baseball team, Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: All right, this is called the Major League Baseball and
Speaker 1: it's America's past time. It's not Kanva's past time. And
Speaker 1: just because you think that you are the wild card
Speaker 1: winners of last night's game between the Toronto Blue Jays
Speaker 1: in the Baltimore or it makes you a better team,
Speaker 1: it does not, honey. I don't think so, honey. You
Speaker 1: have nasty fans, you have loud fans, you have fans,
Speaker 1: and I'll first of all, I want to make it
Speaker 1: very clear, I love Canada, but Toronto. You ain't no Montreal,
Speaker 1: know it, you know, I don't think so honey. You
Speaker 1: are not in Montreal. Pro team does not come from Toronto,
Speaker 1: all right. Second of all, okay, I need I need
Speaker 1: to I need to get this out there. You do
Speaker 1: not throw a can of beer at a baseball player
Speaker 1: on the field. I don't care whether or not they're
Speaker 1: from your city or they're not from your city. But
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I'm fine if Trump wins
Speaker 1: and he cuts you guys up, because I'm that pissed
Speaker 1: at you just kidding, vote Hillary Clinton. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: Trump is a piece of ship. Hillary is the way
Speaker 1: to go. As hard to say, I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: When you want to make a point about somebody you like. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think beautiful. That was athletic. I don't think
Speaker 1: I was major League Baseball. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: It was the whole episode about sports. We did and
Speaker 1: then bands and probably talked about sucking RuPaul. We have
Speaker 1: some Toronto's stories for you. Matt and I were in
Speaker 1: Toronto for the Toronto Sketch Festival. In we got up
Speaker 1: one morning. You decided to go to a local a
Speaker 1: local brunch spot. Um. There was a line outside, a
Speaker 1: short line. But then I decided to do the sensible
Speaker 1: thing and walk inside the restaurant and ask the hostess
Speaker 1: how long the weight was? Does that sound normal to you? Guys? Great?
Speaker 1: As soon as I as soon as I walk past
Speaker 1: the threshold of the door, this fucking sandbag, human piece
Speaker 1: of ship, motherfucker dude stops me and goes, hey, what
Speaker 1: do you think you're doing. I go, I'm walking into
Speaker 1: the restaurant to ask how long the way it is?
Speaker 1: Because I see you standing in line and you're with
Speaker 1: your trifling ass, and say this to him, Um, trifling slink.
Speaker 1: He goes, He goes, Well, the way things where he goes,
Speaker 1: the way things work around here, is you. You ate
Speaker 1: in the back of the line, and he I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, this person was there. No, you and Sudi
Speaker 1: were on your way. It was me, Rachel and Doug
Speaker 1: who were raining and so and then oh my god,
Speaker 1: and I turned him and I go, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for your help. And then Rachel Nitzky, speaking of
Speaker 1: the God bless her, goes, wow people, She goes, wow,
Speaker 1: people in Canada are so nice, aren't they? And then
Speaker 1: we walked to the back of the line because he
Speaker 1: refused to let us inside the restaurant. It was a
