Speaker 1: version consciousness. I just got it at a second hand store.
Speaker 1: It's very comfortable. Anyways. It's Friday, October twenty seventh, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three.
Speaker 2: A banger of days. National Civic Day, shout out to
Speaker 2: everybody who has no idea how the government or anything works.
Speaker 2: National black Cat Day Shout out to all the owners

Speaker 1: Monster Mesh actually like historically took place.
Speaker 2: Maybe canonically, yeah, I don't know, but yeah, it's always
Speaker 2: the Friday before or the last Friday in October for whatever.
Speaker 4: I had labor questions about the opening of Monster Mash
Speaker 4: this year, where it's like, is he compass for working in.
Speaker 1: The lab late one night? One night?
Speaker 4: Is self employed?
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 2: I know that the guy who wrote that song he
Speaker 2: had like a daughter who he tried to like launch
Speaker 2: a NEPO baby pop star career with. And it was
Speaker 2: like it was a music video. My friend made the
Speaker 2: music video and it's her and Henry Wingler, and it
Speaker 2: was like all about like there's a bunch of horses
Speaker 2: in anyway, wait what God? Yeah, then.
Speaker 1: The sentence there were a bunch of horses.
Speaker 2: There's like the opening scene of the video is like
Speaker 2: the main you know, the lyricist, the singer, she's like
Speaker 2: at a like she's at a horse stable and like
Speaker 2: Henry Winkler Club comes out all like perplexeds, like, honey,
Speaker 2: we gotta get the horses. Moonshadow hasn't been fed, and
Speaker 2: it's like this weird, very poor opening, and then like
Speaker 2: there's a music video.
Speaker 1: From the like what year was this take? This was
Speaker 1: like two thousand? Okay, So it was like a belated launch.
Speaker 1: Was like all right, now that this song has officially
Speaker 1: made it, and everybody is like wondering what day in
Speaker 1: history it happened on? For instance, maybe maybe we can
Speaker 1: launch this into something now?
Speaker 4: Does that are we to believe that it's it's possible
Speaker 4: that Henry Winkler owed Boris Bobby Pickett a favor.
Speaker 1: Oh and if so, what could it happen? What went
Speaker 1: down there?
Speaker 4: Does Boris Bobby Pickett know something about Henry Winkler that
Speaker 4: would lead him to have like to have to be
Speaker 4: in this because if it's mid two thousands, Henry Winkler
Speaker 4: like he's back, he was the dad in Holes.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like pre arrested development post holes. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like it was kind of an in between
Speaker 2: you know, it's a bit of a lean period. I
Speaker 2: think it was right before he like we fully re
Speaker 2: embraced Henry but anyway, wow, So he was just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: hell yeah, fuck it, I'll do it. Yeah, Shadow is hungry. Fine,
Speaker 2: I can, I can. I'll kill that line. Anyways, Uh

Speaker 2: Shout out to that Salbudoor jolly on the discord. Yes,
Speaker 2: you know, Derante was on earlier and was talking about how,
Speaker 2: you know, having some kiss chemistry issues with dates and
Speaker 2: just say, you know what, we probably can't go on
Speaker 2: any more dates because the chemistry is off. And I
Speaker 2: you know, she's talking about being honest with people, and
Speaker 2: I had to say shout out to my high school
Speaker 2: girlfriend and said, stop keeping your eyes open when we
Speaker 2: make out, and you need to hire those lessons. So
Speaker 2: shout out to you making that eye to open.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with eyes wide open.
Speaker 1: And I like the added lure from this song that
Speaker 1: you were doing that because you were trying to kiss
Speaker 1: eyeballs with the person. You're trying to touch open the
Speaker 1: eyeballs with them, which is very very intimate, painful, painful,
Speaker 1: and not very sexy.
Speaker 4: I found it helpful, like, yeah, there to have to
Speaker 4: articulate if someone asks you, like like they're the back
Speaker 4: of an eighteen wheeler, how am I doing this?
Speaker 1: Number? Yeah?
Speaker 4: And and I and I usually am like great, but
Speaker 4: then every once in a while, I'm like, how are
Speaker 4: they doing? And the this was in like the last
Speaker 4: year where it was like, I don't know how you're
Speaker 4: getting your tongue to be flat, but that's not necessary.
Speaker 4: Someone making their tongue flat, like flat like it had
Speaker 4: suddenly experienced, you know, like it was like thirty feet
Speaker 4: you know, subterranean. It was just flattened. It was really interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So I feel I also improved at giving feedback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your feedback was just to clarify here, don't
Speaker 1: have such a flat tongue. Weird. Keep that ship to yourself.
Speaker 2: Homan.

Speaker 4: the fifth night.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: The reviews are in and they are bad. I had
Speaker 1: a friend I have tried not to learn what five
Speaker 1: night at Freddy is, five knight Freddy, five Knight Freddy.
Speaker 1: I had a friend be like, it's the latest nightmare
Speaker 1: on ELM Street movie, right, even I know that's not correct,
Speaker 1: But now that you're saying five knife Freddy, I mean,
Speaker 1: who who's guy with five knife on his hand?
Speaker 2: It's five knife ready.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm just saying all that plenty more, But first, Jamie,
Speaker 1: we do like to ask our guests, what is something
Speaker 1: from your search history?
Speaker 4: Okay, so something for my search history is a guy
Speaker 4: I'm just completely enamored with. Move Over, Joey chest Night.
Speaker 4: Monty Revolta is who has been on my mind. I
Speaker 4: have either of you heard of Monty Revolta. I was
Speaker 4: really desperately trying to write a last minute Halloween profile
Speaker 4: of Monty Revolta, but he tragically does not seem to
Speaker 4: know how he's the Internet very well. But like I okay,
Speaker 4: so I forget if we ever talked about this on TDZ.
Speaker 4: But I worked at a hant at the Haunted hay
Speaker 4: Ride last year in Griffith Park. Yeah, and it was
Speaker 4: a very you know, meaningful experience to me. I have
Speaker 4: a lot to say about it today. And I went
Speaker 4: back because the one thing that I didn't get to
Speaker 4: do while I was at the hay Ride, as like,
Speaker 4: in addition to like being treated like a person, was
Speaker 4: I never got to see I never got to see
Speaker 4: the like main stage huge show which is this lounge
Speaker 4: undead lounge singer named Monty Revolta. He is the star
Speaker 4: of the hay Ride. I never got I never even
Speaker 4: knew what he looked like till I looked him up,
Speaker 4: because he's kind of I'm not going to say he's
Speaker 4: a diva because I don't know what he's like. But
Speaker 4: he didn't fraternize with the other scare actors. He wasn't
Speaker 4: around Oh Manti's scare actors.
Speaker 1: God him learning so much just ambiently.
Speaker 4: Try to keep up with these industry terms.
Speaker 1: The sides that I'm like, they're called scare actors, they're
Speaker 1: called scared.
Speaker 2: The characters at Universal Halloween hor Nights.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's some high rant stuff. We couldn't afford
Speaker 4: that kind of that kind of vocabulary. But yeah, that's
Speaker 4: like every every scare actor. Would you know, you would
Speaker 4: see Monty's band, and Monty's band would kind of like
Speaker 4: not well, at least one of them was like kind
Speaker 4: of swinging swinging his dick around about his proximity to Monty,
Speaker 4: and there were some really but I never got to
Speaker 4: meet Manty. I never had to see him perform. Then
Speaker 4: I went back this week because I just had to know,
Speaker 4: you know what changed since last year. It's like visiting
Speaker 4: I never I have no love for my college, Like
Speaker 4: I would never return, but I would I will go
Speaker 4: back to the hair ride every year as if I
Speaker 4: graduated from reunion. Yeah, and Monty unbelievable like I was.
Speaker 4: I couldn't stop smiling. My friend took a picture of
Speaker 4: what I looked like looking at Monty, and it was like,
Speaker 4: he's so he's funny. He comes out of a coffin
Speaker 4: in the beginning. Oh, he's got little jokes. He's physically huge,
Speaker 4: He's like nine feet tall. He's every it was, he's
Speaker 4: He closed the set on I Will Always Love You
Speaker 4: and at one point adjusted the lyrics to I will
Speaker 4: Always love Ghoule and I it really hit for me.
Speaker 4: I love Montey Revolta. I love his website. His website
Speaker 4: is so bizars legendary.
Speaker 2: It is good. It is so good.
Speaker 4: Monte Rivolta and his Band of the Living Dead. It
Speaker 4: was made in you know, an angel fire.
Speaker 2: Look at his clients. He's working with everybody who's doing
Speaker 2: a freaky fucking thing in the South Lane.
Speaker 4: Oh he doesn't give a ship. I mean well, he
Speaker 4: and he also the Herson Reptile Show. You know, Monty
Speaker 4: Rivolta in his Undead band are going to be there.
Speaker 1: I am like the winch the Winchester Mystery House. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: oh they've been at the Winch.
Speaker 4: I love the kid CBGB's for like Haunted Novelty bands.
Speaker 4: He played the Winch. I just like, I think he's
Speaker 4: so cool, and I kind of love that he is
Speaker 4: sharing his beautiful art. I cannot figure out what his
Speaker 4: government name is, to save my fucking life.
Speaker 1: I just love what I'm seeing that somebody Jos played
Speaker 1: monte Ravolta in Monte Ravolta Acting Dead twenty sixteen.
Speaker 4: I've seen, yeah, I've seen Blake Johnson, and I you
Speaker 4: know it could be true. I just it doesn't fit
Speaker 4: his vibe whatsoever. Interesting this nine foot man singing I
Speaker 4: will always love Ghoule. I'm like, that can't be a
Speaker 4: guy named Blake Johnson. I'd lose it. I don't understand.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I've been trying to I've been trying
Speaker 4: to figure him out. I was like, maybe I could
Speaker 4: shadow him for a night, but he just crickets, crickets,
Speaker 4: wants nothing to do with me and Deadson.
Speaker 1: But Blake Johnson come.
Speaker 4: On exactly exactly. I wonder if he's changed, because I
Speaker 4: I wonder how much crossover there is between this and
Speaker 4: like hot dog eating specific because there's a guy who
Speaker 4: I'm I would now consider not a friend, but like
Speaker 4: a heightened acquaintance. This guy Crazy Legs Kanti who that
Speaker 4: is like now his government name he had it changed,
Speaker 4: and I'm like maybe Monty Revolta just was like, this
Speaker 4: is my life.
Speaker 2: I'm making this olocks.
Speaker 4: Crazy Legs most certainly.
Speaker 2: Does love those dreadlocks.
Speaker 4: Also like a really like really really tall, physically imposing
Speaker 4: person has a huge Marx Brothers collection. Interesting guy, I
Speaker 4: feel like you have.
Speaker 1: A type, Jamie, really tall, not a real human.
Speaker 4: In reality, I men who are tiny and hate me.
Speaker 6: This guy with the Johns Hopkins Jamie, yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 6: super smart, got like lived in LA for a while,
Speaker 6: like really really a fascinating man.
Speaker 4: I went to the after party, the like hot dog
Speaker 4: eating after party, and like was chatting with him for
Speaker 4: a while, and I was like, how people are amazing.
Speaker 4: I have hope for humanity because.
Speaker 1: You know this is possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could look like an Adam Durwitz like impersonator,
Speaker 2: wear a fedora, and just crush the competitive eating scene.
Speaker 4: Unbelievable. He spoke at my New York book release show
Speaker 4: and was telling this story that I was like, what
Speaker 4: are you talking about?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Everybody like like your like new friend that gets invited
Speaker 1: to the wedding gives a.
Speaker 4: Like milletant feminist. But he was like telling a story
Speaker 4: about and like he you know, he was really cool,
Speaker 4: but he was like, yeah, I was getting ready for
Speaker 4: this mayonnaise eating contest and I was doing it at
Speaker 4: this girl's house. Because you don't want to be eating
Speaker 4: mayonnaise at your house, like, but you do want to
Speaker 4: be eating it at a girls.
Speaker 1: He's like, mean crazy Legs.
Speaker 4: Right, So I was like, why would you eat it
Speaker 4: at your girlfriend's house. He's like, well, she wasn't my girlfriend.
Speaker 1: It was a casual whoa I don't put you know,
Speaker 1: crazy Legs doesn't put labels on things.
Speaker 2: That's called a mayonnaise side piece, dip over mayo.
Speaker 4: Life is beautiful.
Speaker 1: I love So I've been ever since he said Monty Revolts,
Speaker 1: I've been trying to figure out what that is? It
Speaker 1: like that, So he's a lounge act, like a lounge
Speaker 1: singer who is like themed Halloween themed. I am I stupid?
Speaker 1: Is there an obvious reference there? Like is Montira Volta
Speaker 1: referencing something?
Speaker 4: Not that I can tell I forget, Like I I
Speaker 4: went with somebody and he had like all these ideas,
Speaker 4: He had all these pitches for what it could be
Speaker 4: a reference to. He was like, is it Mars Volta,
Speaker 4: Like that would be.
Speaker 1: Weird Volta from the early two thousand, That would be.
Speaker 4: A very Blake Johnson to do that sounds like a
Speaker 4: Blake Johnson. That it was a huge Mars Vaulta guy.
Speaker 4: I can't figure out what it is.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 4: I also can't really tell how long he's been doing it.
Speaker 4: But I do know that he plays weddings and that
Speaker 4: is really lighting a fire under my ass to considered
Speaker 4: that to get married before he gets too huge. And
Speaker 4: I can't, you know, get him for weddings anymore.
Speaker 1: Because the Band of the Living Dead would suggest that
Speaker 1: his wordplay is fairly straightforward. But Monty Revolta, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Travolta is the closest thing I get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I'm thinking, But like Monty travolt manty, like
Speaker 1: Johnny Travolta, Monty Ravolta, who.
Speaker 4: I'll ask him if he ever answers my fucking email.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to hear from him on November fifth,
Speaker 4: Like it is like talking to it does remind me
Speaker 4: of like, you know, come July twelfth, Joey chest Night,
Speaker 4: everyone is you know, temporary, He's left everyone's mind temporarily
Speaker 4: and then you can get him on the horn. But
Speaker 4: you know, June, forget it. July fourth, don't even.
Speaker 1: Try, like trying to get get on the phone with
Speaker 1: my accountant during CAx season Swish, thank you from way downtown.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: keep talking to Jamie Loftus. We'll be right back, and
Speaker 1: we're back and Jamie is back on the show, and
Speaker 1: we are about to ask you, what is something do
Speaker 1: you think is overrated?
Speaker 4: So this it does kind of dovetail with the Hanted
Speaker 4: Hayride discussion hyper specific conglomerates because no one I know
Speaker 4: worked at the Haunted ha Ride this year. Because of this,
Speaker 4: like there is a Haunted hay Ride and Haunted Attraction
Speaker 4: specific conglomerate which acquired the Los Angeles Haunted hair Ride
Speaker 4: and like kind of I don't know not to sound
Speaker 4: like gen X about it, but like they sold out
Speaker 4: and now it's fucking corporate. It's sponsored by Hulu. There's
Speaker 4: all this shit there, you know, and so yeah, this
Speaker 4: company Thirteenth Floor, which is a great you know, if
Speaker 4: you're gonna acquire a bunch of haunted hair d you'd
Speaker 4: better be called thirteenth Floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Real, But they like, as far as I could tell,
Speaker 4: lowered the wages of employees, acquired all these things, sold
Speaker 4: a bunch of sponsorships to Hulu, jacked up the prices
Speaker 4: so it cost fifty bucks to go on a hay ride,
Speaker 4: you know. And and we can only hope they're compensating
Speaker 4: Monty Rivolta and his Band of the Living Dead fairly.
Speaker 4: But I just I take real, real issue. I feel
Speaker 4: like they're you know, if there was still if it
Speaker 4: was still a mom and pop population operation, it would
Speaker 4: still be equally unsafe. You would be taking your life
Speaker 4: in your hands right by attending. But you know, it
Speaker 4: would cost twenty dollars and be fun. Well, not that
Speaker 4: it wasn't fun, It was very fun, but it does.
Speaker 4: It's unsettling to go to a local haunted hay ride
Speaker 4: and feel that it has gone corporate.
Speaker 2: Yeah true, especially like the the won of Griffith Park,
Speaker 2: like it had like this you know, homeliness to it.
Speaker 2: But I guess now that's my thirteenth Floor Entertainment group.
Speaker 2: I mean it was like, are they owned by a
Speaker 2: venture capital?
Speaker 4: Right? Like it has to be someone sucking the fun
Speaker 4: out of everything. It was still great, but I was here.
Speaker 4: I was in a hay Ride alumni text group, and
Speaker 4: most people who went back, they were like, I got
Speaker 4: put in. It's there. It sounds ridiculous to read the text,
Speaker 4: but it's like, you know, someone I worked with last
Speaker 4: year is like, well I quit today. They put me
Speaker 4: in skeletons and I was told I could do a stunt,
Speaker 4: but then I couldn't do a stunt. So I walked
Speaker 4: out on all the skeletons and I was like, good
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like this could just be the entire
Speaker 1: episode is talking to you about your experience with these
Speaker 1: haunted houses. Like that the local haunted house market has
Speaker 1: come up a little bit as like we've been talking
Speaker 1: about like buying a haunted house Instagram. Yeah, we've been
Speaker 1: talking about the.
Speaker 4: Like Pete Davidson and Colin Joe's buying a boat. You
Speaker 4: guys buying a haunted house together.
Speaker 1: So just like that level of like the Instagram activation,
Speaker 1: things like I took my kids to like Bubble World.
Speaker 1: I think it was called and it was just like
Speaker 1: a bunch of balloons. But it's like a whole thing
Speaker 1: designed around Instagram that seems to be like from about
Speaker 1: the same level of like employee and thought put into
Speaker 1: it as a haunted house, but just like not around Halloween,
Speaker 1: and like they just fill in an old ralphs and
Speaker 1: stuff like I'm just curious what what it was like
Speaker 1: in the guts of the haunted house industry.
Speaker 4: It seems like, I mean, based on how my boss
Speaker 4: last year behaved, he was he had he had he
Speaker 4: had just about fucking had it with this with this corporation,
Speaker 4: and and would start to say there the last night
Speaker 4: on Halloween Night twenty two, me to uh, he was
Speaker 4: dressed as legless from most most nice.
Speaker 2: He would wear you know, like.
Speaker 4: A black shirt and black pants because he was at
Speaker 4: work and he wasn't he wasn't a s character. He
Speaker 4: was like the actor coordinator. But but he was growing
Speaker 4: increased because and he had been in the haunt business
Speaker 4: for years. He would come around and like he was
Speaker 4: a super nice guy. He'd come around and like show
Speaker 4: you pictures of like him and his husband working haunts
Speaker 4: in the mid two thousands, and then he's like, then
Speaker 4: I got the leg injury, and now you know, I'm
Speaker 4: happy to be working in a curatorial role blah blah
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, and like super super cool guy.
Speaker 1: Love that level of professionalism and like dedication. That's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was great. And he ended up quitting and
Speaker 4: not coming back because he was being you know, micromanaged
Speaker 4: and like told that he was being too easy on actors.
Speaker 4: He was giving us too many breaks and like just
Speaker 4: he was being nice to us, and so by the end,
Speaker 4: he like made a whole speech to everyone on Halloween night,
Speaker 4: dressed as legless. Not related to the speech, but certainly
Speaker 4: enhanced it. You know, he was like, I am leaving
Speaker 4: this business. This season has broken me, and I am
Speaker 4: like and like he just he was done. They had
Speaker 4: gone corporate. He had had it and uh and there
Speaker 4: were so many injuries that like we weren't allowed to
Speaker 4: talk about. It was really I And then he said
Speaker 4: he was like, my husband and I may move to Europe.
Speaker 4: Was like, wasn't that bad? Or was that like an
Speaker 4: unrelated plan? I don't know.
Speaker 1: He gave like Eisenhower speech about the military industrial complex,
Speaker 1: like on the way out. He was like, this whole
Speaker 1: industry is fucked rosten run.
Speaker 2: And you're wondering why I'm dressed because Gone Door has
Speaker 2: no king like what stuff.
Speaker 1: But it does also sound because another kind of related
Speaker 1: at that level, like war Old that I find super
Speaker 1: interesting in addition to Haunted Houses, is like ren Fair,
Speaker 1: right Like, I feel like ren Fair like ren Fair
Speaker 1: people might just as well like segue right into Haunted
Speaker 1: Hayaride acting totally, but I feel like the Renfair is
Speaker 1: a little more debauched, though behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: It is certainly horn horny air, Like I went to
Speaker 4: my first Renfair this year, so I can't I can't
Speaker 4: speak to the culture, yeah, like I can't, but it
Speaker 4: seems like there's got to be a similar Like there's
Speaker 4: a real theater kid showing a barn energy to the
Speaker 4: hay Ride, which I feel like the company, like the
Speaker 4: corporate interlopers kind of take advantage of because it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: if these people get injured, they're not going to say
Speaker 4: anything because it feels like we're doing community theater and
Speaker 4: we have to all finish it together. And I'm like, no,
Speaker 4: we should sue these likely capitalize.
Speaker 2: You didn't you get like a promotion last year. I
Speaker 2: remember I was following your tweets because someone like busted
Speaker 2: their knee or some shit, and like, a right, Jamie,
Speaker 2: you're the fucking star tonight.
Speaker 1: Oh that busted their head and we are using the
Speaker 1: passive voice into what happened to their head. And just
Speaker 1: for legal reasons, there's nothing that Jamie had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with. It was not working to work her way up.
Speaker 4: I certainly what if I yeah, what if I was
Speaker 4: doing it all about Eve.
Speaker 1: Saying you are a huge fan, right? Yeah?
Speaker 4: No, I was murder nurse. I was cast as murder
Speaker 4: nurse too.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was like, you know, I was like
Speaker 4: a substitute, and I was intended to play a different
Speaker 4: part every single night because there were so many injuries. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and there were so many injuries, and like COVID was
Speaker 4: going around that there was always going to be like
Speaker 4: I was looking forward to being like and now I'm
Speaker 4: a spider and now I'm a chainsaw clown. But I
Speaker 4: only ever got to be the murder nurse because the
Speaker 4: first night, yeah, the other murderers like fell off of
Speaker 4: a platform and hit her head and was taken away
Speaker 4: in an ambulance and.
Speaker 1: She still came back.
Speaker 4: I was I was like, dude, you have you have
Speaker 4: to like I don't know. I was trying to be
Speaker 4: as like undercover as I could be, but like you
Speaker 4: should sue these guys. And she was like, no, you know,
Speaker 4: I got to finish out this season strong. We're a
Speaker 4: family here, And I was like, no, no, you're not
Speaker 4: family to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I was the only I was the sole murder nurse
Speaker 4: I went through. I went on the the murderers no
Speaker 4: longer a part that is playing within the hay Ride.
Speaker 1: It was retired there to hire your number. Not going
Speaker 1: to get better than this. Yeah, that's such a like
Speaker 1: that feels like one of the things where the entire
Speaker 1: charm is that it is like slapped together by unprofessional people,
Speaker 1: and for it to be taken over by like private equity,
Speaker 1: it's it's a real bumber.
Speaker 2: Like this is fun. I think you can do this
Speaker 2: for half the price and get twice the people in Like.
Speaker 1: When private equity takes over the whole Carnie circuit, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's when we're really fucked.
Speaker 4: There's a blog that I would read in high school
Speaker 4: and still read now in every post called Diary of
Speaker 4: a Car and he blogspot dot com and he shares
Speaker 4: very similar views to you on that point where he's
Speaker 4: just like, we used to be a proper country.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're ascribing these views to me.
Speaker 4: Man, it is a bummer.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 4: And that's not to advocate for the old way of
Speaker 4: doing things, because it really did seem to you know,
Speaker 4: like because at the at the Hayride, it was like
Speaker 4: a lot of you know, guys in their forties and
Speaker 4: teenage girls which would play out the way you would
Speaker 4: imagine and it really grow. So it was good that
Speaker 4: we had you know, a good supervisor old legalists to
Speaker 4: to you know, he would regularly just move the forty
Speaker 4: year old guys elsewhere, like you'd be like, oh, there's
Speaker 4: a we've got an issue with a werewolf, We're gonna
Speaker 4: move him to the maze. Like strategic, very strategic, I know,
Speaker 4: playing to type disgusting.
Speaker 1: What's what's something you think is underrated? Jamie?
Speaker 4: Uh oh, women's hockey. This is something that's been on
Speaker 4: my mind recently. I know, I was excited to tell
Speaker 4: you about Miles, so I U I have been thinking
Speaker 4: about I was with my dad over the summer, and
Speaker 4: he's a hockey writer. And he was on the Bechdel
Speaker 4: Cast after asking for years because every couple like a
Speaker 4: once a year he'd be like sort of throwing his
Speaker 4: hat in the ring as a potential guest on the show,
Speaker 4: and he's like like he just like, you know, jam
Speaker 4: Slapshot was written by a woman?
Speaker 1: Did you know that?
Speaker 4: Did you know that? And there's a woman in the
Speaker 4: movie as well, And.
Speaker 1: And those brothers they have long hair, so I.
Speaker 4: Could say they're challenging the binary a little bit, those
Speaker 4: Hampson And so this year, finally I was like, Caitlyn,
Speaker 4: my dad, he won't stop until we cover him, until
Speaker 4: we cover slap shot. It would improve my day to
Speaker 4: day life if we just let him cover slap shot.
Speaker 4: And uh, I thought he did you know? It? Was great?
Speaker 4: Slap shot does not hold up particularly well, is in
Speaker 4: fact written by a woman. But we were talking about
Speaker 4: on the show how there's like no movies at least
Speaker 4: about women's hockey, or at least popular movies about women's hockey,
Speaker 4: And so I was thinking a lot about just the
Speaker 4: idea of girls slap shot. And then when I got
Speaker 4: back to California, I was like well, is there even
Speaker 4: like what is there? And so and it's it's there's
Speaker 4: not much. But there's two places that I've been checking out,
Speaker 4: including this pickup team in Seami Valley.
Speaker 2: Oh. Yeah, they got a good rink out there. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh it's the Isoplex.
Speaker 2: I was, Oh Valleys now in Isoplex. It's a is
Speaker 2: Wait did that change the original? The original Isoplex used
Speaker 2: to be in like North Hills, like West Hills area,
Speaker 2: like off the four or five. Yeah. Yeah, and their
Speaker 2: club because I was all, you know, I was in
Speaker 2: the socow hockey scene. Their team was called the Wolves,
Speaker 2: and Isoplex was like one of the nicest newer ranks,
Speaker 2: but I didn't know that they had rebranded or moved
Speaker 2: or whatever. They like the rinks the further you go
Speaker 2: out of like Maine, La County, they're very They're much
Speaker 2: nicer than what we have. I played at Pickwick in Burbank.
Speaker 4: Oh is that even still there?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like they shoot that. They always like use that
Speaker 2: place to shoot any like skating scene, like in the office,
Speaker 2: like when like they were like ice skating there, like
Speaker 2: they shoot it. There's so many things are like filmed
Speaker 2: in that rink.
Speaker 1: But it's just a very shallow pool.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: The Isoplex was beautiful, and so I was like trying
Speaker 4: to go to these women's pickup games because there's a
Speaker 4: lot of like co ed teams, but there weren't a
Speaker 4: lot of just like specifically women's teams. And I finally
Speaker 4: made it up this week. I'd been like texting with
Speaker 4: this woman and it was like, we're having a difficult time,
Speaker 4: and I was like, why am I having difficulty communicating
Speaker 4: with uh with this woman? And it was when I
Speaker 4: got there, it's because she's like my mom's age. She
Speaker 4: like the team was it was like people in their
Speaker 4: like mid to late twenties through their mid to late sixties,
Speaker 4: like all playing together, play together every week, play well
Speaker 4: no no, which is which I think is important for
Speaker 4: the older players to can't they can't play exactly exactly.
Speaker 4: And so I just have been I don't know, and
Speaker 4: and just talking to them about like everyone had driven
Speaker 4: minimum an hour to be there because there are so
Speaker 4: few options, and I just man, I had the best
Speaker 4: time talking to these ladies. And they had a you know,
Speaker 4: they have like a bar at the rink too, so
Speaker 4: you could just go and hang out afterwards. Crack a
Speaker 4: lat bat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they had a labat w.
Speaker 4: H Yeah, the bat on tap tap. It was really cool.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I I'm you know, it took me, you know,
Speaker 4: thirty years, but I finally understand the appeal of this
Speaker 4: little game.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, now there's a professional league that's starting up too,
Speaker 2: the Professional Women's Hockey League, And I know I don't
Speaker 2: think LA has a team, but they do on the
Speaker 2: East Coast and in Canada.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, did your dad put a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure on you to play like growing up?
Speaker 4: Uh? No, there was one significant push, but then he
Speaker 4: saw me skate and he was like it's a non starter.
Speaker 4: But when I was at the pickup game. When I
Speaker 4: was the pickup game, they're like hurting for players because
Speaker 4: it's so kind of far out that they're like, can
Speaker 4: you skate? I was like, no, no, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 4: I can't play with you. But but maybe on a
Speaker 4: long enough timeline I'll try it, because yeah, it's like
Speaker 4: it's a no check. There is no checking in these games,
Speaker 4: and so that's when I could maybe I could stand
Speaker 4: in place for for right right.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, just just park it on the
Speaker 2: blue line.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hockey was a big sport at my high school.
Speaker 1: Like I went there, you know, moved to Massachusetts halfway
Speaker 1: through high school from Kentucky, you know, a place where
Speaker 1: basketball is the only sport that matters, to this place
Speaker 1: where I, like, I truly had not encountered hockey being
Speaker 1: a serious sport anywhere outside of a Disney movie, and
Speaker 1: like went and everyone was like, God, the hockey players
Speaker 1: are so cool, so hot. And one of my friends,
Speaker 1: one of my friends, like used a loophole to get
Speaker 1: onto the freshman hockey team even though he was a
Speaker 1: junior and didn't know how to skate. And so when
Speaker 1: you said just like stand there, like he just like
Speaker 1: kind of glided out onto the ice and then like
Speaker 1: took a like swipe at someone and fell over. And
Speaker 1: they were like, all right, man, gets that was truly heavy.
Speaker 2: Gilmarino put the slap shot on that guy breaking a glass.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Michael, Wow, yeah, what a time. Let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and cover
Speaker 1: some news. And we're back and we're just gonna get
Speaker 1: right down to right down to it. Five night Freddy's
Speaker 1: video game movie that did not was not aware that
Speaker 1: I had a sense based on the poster. It was
Speaker 1: something it was a movie based on something based on
Speaker 1: video game and it's like spooky.
Speaker 4: Chucky, did you guys, Yeah, which is I'm bummed that
Speaker 4: the movie sucks because it was Chuck could really use
Speaker 4: the good pr right now. Yeah, there, Did either of
Speaker 4: you play it? I never played it, but I remember
Speaker 4: that was the first video game I ever saw, like
Speaker 4: play through YouTube videos.
Speaker 2: For Okay, I never played it, but but when we
Speaker 2: were both working at Playboy Jamie when I was doing
Speaker 2: video there, there was like a video series with two
Speaker 2: playmates that are gamers, and I remember I had to
Speaker 2: like produce a shoot with that, and I was like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck? And I was like, oh, this game
Speaker 2: is fucking freaky. But I'm not into horror as a
Speaker 2: like a genre, but I have seen it played and like,
Speaker 2: at the time, this was like the biggest shit, like
Speaker 2: I think came out in twenty fourteen, but yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like a you know, huge, huge like indie game.
Speaker 4: M Yeah it was. I didn't even realize it was
Speaker 4: an indie game because of how like, yeah, that was
Speaker 4: the first time I had ever like encountered that as
Speaker 4: a thing that happened and thought it was isolated, and
Speaker 4: then you know, obviously I have never stopped seeing it,
Speaker 4: but it's i mean, haunted animatronics a great idea, and
Speaker 4: the guy who invented the Chuck E Cheese animatrons very racist,
Speaker 4: like don't don't fuck with this guy. However, however, there
Speaker 4: he at least us as recently as a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago, still had this warehouse in Florida where the
Speaker 4: animatronics were once made, and was really trying to capitalize
Speaker 4: on the success of five Night Freddy. And because he
Speaker 4: basically lived in uh, you know, like Haunted Animatronics palace,
Speaker 4: so he started like selling the like five Night Freddie
Speaker 4: birthday party experience with his like scary old animatronics, and
Speaker 4: it seemed to be somewhat successful.
Speaker 2: At some point, I mean, like the real the diehard
Speaker 2: fans like they fuck. I mean, it's there's a reason
Speaker 2: why it became a Blumhouse film. It's because the definitely
Speaker 2: there is an audience, there's an absolute audience for it.
Speaker 1: Producer Victor is noting that there are multiple three hour
Speaker 1: lower documentaries about five Night, five Night a half five.
Speaker 4: Night Freddy Freddy. What could that possibly mean? That's that's
Speaker 4: so interesting.
Speaker 2: Well, that's like a big thing that like as the
Speaker 2: reviews come in, like there's a whole debate where some
Speaker 2: people are like, it's not really for casuals man, like
Speaker 2: if you don't fuck like or some people were like
Speaker 2: there's not enough for yeah, yeah, yeah, it is wild
Speaker 2: like I'm and I'm like, it's interesting following the reaction because,
Speaker 2: like anything, when you have a huge like when a
Speaker 2: fandom gets to that point where now like a Plumhouse
Speaker 2: or major studios like yeah, let's see if we can
Speaker 2: make money off of this, it's always interesting to see
Speaker 2: how like inevitably the fans will be disappointed. I think
Speaker 2: it's just generally what's always going to happen, Like it's
Speaker 2: there's only a few instances where you have something with
Speaker 2: like a huge mega following take that next jump to
Speaker 2: like major film distribution and it be you know, palatable.
Speaker 4: I was kind of I was positive because I didn't
Speaker 4: see I kind of forgot it was coming out until
Speaker 4: I they showed the trailer at saw X and I
Speaker 4: was like, damn, they got Hutcherson. And my friend was like,
Speaker 4: I don't think that's hard to.
Speaker 3: Do, Like what did you just say, yeah, damn, Josh
Speaker 3: is like, what like in the seat in front of
Speaker 3: you twenty twelve, Yeah, you need something.
Speaker 4: I did see Josh Hutcherson getting into a very quiet
Speaker 4: argument with his girlfriend in front of a restaurant near
Speaker 4: my house once, so it is like not that hard
Speaker 4: to get Hutcherson. But but I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: maybe I just like went twenty twelve brain for a second,
Speaker 4: where like, oh my damn, they got Hutcherson. Five Night
Speaker 4: Freddy is huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's bigger than Hunger Games.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's something about the minds of people who are like
Speaker 1: scared of animatronics, I guess, or like into I don't know,
Speaker 1: because the writer of the original indie game also like
Speaker 1: a right wing person.
Speaker 4: God, what is it with animatronics and being a piece
Speaker 4: of shit?
Speaker 2: I think because they're like techno slaves or some shit.
Speaker 2: Probably you know. Oh yeah, it's like I'll make them
Speaker 2: do what I say, and I can make you in
Speaker 2: my like I mean that's probably some weird god complex.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can some level.
Speaker 2: But hey, I would love to see where the where
Speaker 2: the woke animaz.
Speaker 4: Right, I mean, there's certainly woke animtronic fans. But I right, right,
Speaker 4: but we're not technically minded unfortunately, right right.
Speaker 2: Right right, you're just there for the commentary.
Speaker 1: We are topping out for five nights of Freddy's. We
Speaker 1: are topping out on metacritics. So the overall metacritics score
Speaker 1: is twenty nine, an average of twenty nine, and we're
Speaker 1: topping out. Usually usually you will get like one or
Speaker 1: two that's like, hey, I actually enjoyed this because I
Speaker 1: was like, my meds are dialed in or something, you know,
Speaker 1: like so like I sometimes I just enjoy the hell
Speaker 1: out of them. Like one of my favorite film, going Expirits,
Speaker 1: was Die Hard for for no reason other than I
Speaker 1: was just in a good, good movie. Right place in
Speaker 1: your life, Yeah, good place in my life. Loved that
Speaker 1: movie the first time I saw it, and then I
Speaker 1: watched it again, I was like, oh, this is bad,
Speaker 1: right right right, But like this is at we're topping
Speaker 1: out at two out of five stars. Most of them
Speaker 1: are lower than that average, and this like not all
Speaker 1: reviews are in, but it's it seems pretty dismal, and
Speaker 1: everyone's saying boring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not boring. Yeah, I mean even like the fans,
Speaker 2: Like there's a guy who would like stream it on YouTube,
Speaker 2: like this guy Jack Septic guy, Like his review is
Speaker 2: like it is not great, sort of like the nice
Speaker 2: person and a lot of people are like, you made
Speaker 2: a lot of five nights at Freddie Content. But again,
Speaker 2: I think that's where like you see a lot of
Speaker 2: you know, other other fans come in and be like,
Speaker 2: it's just people aren't gonna understand it. It's not for normies.
Speaker 2: But then this guy who like plays the game a
Speaker 2: ton is like just felt rushed in some spots. Other
Speaker 2: parts it just was very normal, like did not feel
Speaker 2: like as you know, original as like the game the
Speaker 2: original idea is itself.
Speaker 1: So you see the trailer, You're like, oh, they got Hutcherson,
Speaker 1: but they but they like now I'm kind of embarrassed
Speaker 1: because Hutcherson knows like what I'm into, and like they
Speaker 1: did such a bad job with the lore that now
Speaker 1: like I'm like, they shouldn't.
Speaker 4: Have done this to Hutcherson or us or mac you Lillard,
Speaker 4: you know, Matthew they got they got Lillard, that got Lillard.
Speaker 2: I mean Mary Stuart Masterson kind.
Speaker 4: Of a star studded cast. I was really impressed with
Speaker 4: the cast. I love that they got Lillard. I feel
Speaker 4: like Lillard played the game. That's my guess is that
Speaker 4: Lillard was into it. Hudgerson, we don't. I don't know
Speaker 4: of his hobbies. I don't know.
Speaker 2: His agents were like, hey, man, you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: say yes to this.
Speaker 1: We got bad news.
Speaker 4: You have to be the leading five knight Freddy.
Speaker 1: You're five knife Freddy because you were Freddy your knife.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're knife Freddy. Because nobody was fucking with Journey
Speaker 2: to the Center of the Earth too.
Speaker 4: Oh god, he was in that.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: It's a bummer that we would eat at the same
Speaker 4: realm in place. It's like when I saw Taylor Lautner
Speaker 4: at a bar I go to and you're just like,
Speaker 4: this is.
Speaker 2: This sucks recently.
Speaker 4: It's like five years ago, so I think that, well, yeah.
Speaker 2: But I mean like post like Super High Twilight Peak, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it was like a place where you get like,
Speaker 4: you know, three dollars backwash. I'm like, why the hell
Speaker 4: is Taylor Lautner here drinking three dollars backwash with the pleabs?
Speaker 2: Was he doing the thing where he had his back
Speaker 2: to the bar looking out at the.
Speaker 4: Bar, he was holding court. He was holding the court.
Speaker 4: It was really cool, Like he bought rounds, he was
Speaker 4: holding court. He had no issue with you knowing. He
Speaker 4: was drinking backwash at the bar, which is cool. That's
Speaker 4: a cool quality. He was with I think his girlfriend.
Speaker 4: Now his wife also named Taylor. That's not very cool.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 1: Wait he married a Taylor.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Now they're the tailor's lotner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's incredible. Should we talk about the Britney Spears
Speaker 1: memoir the audio book?
Speaker 2: Have you got Williams?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I I've just slowly seen some like excerpts get sort
Speaker 2: of elevated to the top. But obviously I think the
Speaker 2: big one with the release of the audiobook was everyone
Speaker 2: sharing the clip of Michelle what Michelle Williams doing an
Speaker 2: impression of Justin Timberlake doing a black scent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what It's a lot.
Speaker 2: Have you not heard it? No, Jamie, for someone who
Speaker 2: is so online, I'm like, James, this is old hat
Speaker 2: for Jamie, I'm sure. Okay.
Speaker 4: So I was I was trying to I was like,
Speaker 4: let's see how long I because I was like I
Speaker 4: want to read it. And I also was waiting for
Speaker 4: an episode of Chelsea Devonte's podcast about it. It was like,
Speaker 4: and then I'll engage.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, wait, just one excerpt, you know, like this
Speaker 2: is one loose line that's like blowing up where she's
Speaker 2: first of all, like Britney Spears is talking about why
Speaker 2: she was fucking with in Sync over Backstreet Boys. She's
Speaker 2: like in sync like they listened to hip hop, like
Speaker 2: they seem more oriented towards that kind of culture where
Speaker 2: the Backstreet Boys felt very white. I'm just gonna we'll
Speaker 2: just play this clip really quick because there's all white.
Speaker 4: Guys from Florida, and yeah, what is like the game guy.
Speaker 2: Let's not forget Chris with his techno dreads either, but hey,
Speaker 2: let's focus on this Skylark. So but yeah, this is
Speaker 2: a this is one of the excerpts here, just talking
Speaker 2: about this time where he met another famous R and
Speaker 2: B musician.
Speaker 1: So the other ding like a lot of people are
Speaker 1: pointing out like this seems Michelle Williams is a five
Speaker 1: time Academy Award nominee. People are like, why is she
Speaker 1: doing this? And then they're listening and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's the best that has ever done this before. She's
Speaker 1: killing it. She's doing a great job. So yeah, this
Speaker 1: is a little sample of that, and it's an anecdote
Speaker 1: that a lot of it's caught a lot of people's attention.
Speaker 7: His band in Sync was what people back then called
Speaker 7: so Pimp. They were white boys, but they loved hip hop.
Speaker 7: To me, that's what separated them from the Backstreet boys,
Speaker 7: who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group.
Speaker 7: In Sync hung out with black artists sometimes I thought
Speaker 7: they tried too hard to fit in. One day, Jay
Speaker 7: and I were in New York going to parts of
Speaker 7: town I'd never been to before. Walking our way was
Speaker 7: a guy with a huge, blinged out medallion. He was
Speaker 7: flanked by two giant and security guards. Jay got all
Speaker 7: excited and said so loud, oh yeah, Genuine, what's up, homie.
Speaker 7: After Genuine walked away, Felicia did an impression of Jay.
Speaker 7: Oh yeahses, Genuine.
Speaker 4: Jay wasn't even embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Wow, I like the there's like a YadA YadA past that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they had an interaction, but it kind of
Speaker 1: suggests that Genuine just he did that and Genuine just
Speaker 1: walked away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, oh my god, the fuck is that?
Speaker 4: The abrupt switch after the like the audiobook pause before
Speaker 4: genuine walked away, like you're just oh my god.
Speaker 1: After walked away.
Speaker 4: She's a professionals good professional. That alarming. I'm looking forward to,
Speaker 4: uh to reading that book or probably more like listening
Speaker 4: to it. Celebrity memoirs are meant to be listened.
Speaker 2: To, especially oh yeah, because I'm pretty sure what Britney
Speaker 2: Spears personally was like, I want Michelle Williams to narrate this,
Speaker 2: like this is why this is happening.
Speaker 4: So very weird, very weird. How do they know each other?
Speaker 2: Dialed in so well? Though? What better person to lend
Speaker 2: your voice to have their like, have them lend their
Speaker 2: voice and have Michelle Williams do the Britney Spears book
Speaker 2: so good has to get the egot.
Speaker 4: She will this is her grammy, Yeah, yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1: There's I mean, there's all sorts of There's also the
Speaker 1: story that Britney Spears almost got what was the famous
Speaker 1: role that she almost oh, the Notebook, the Notebook, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she almost was cast in the Notebook.
Speaker 2: She was like in the fire three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was between no, she was in the final
Speaker 1: two between her and Rachel McAdams and like they like
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson, all these other people had tried out and
Speaker 1: they were like, Britney Spears was like fucking nailing this.
Speaker 1: She's really absolutely like an amazing actor.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, there's like her audition tape is available.
Speaker 2: I think the camera tested with with Ryan too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I always want.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that there were a number of
Speaker 4: extenuating circumstances in Brittany's life that, uh, but I was
Speaker 4: her her movie career was like a non starter, and
Speaker 4: up until recently you couldn't even get Crossroads, Like you
Speaker 4: couldn't even stream it until recently, even though that was
Speaker 4: like an early Shonda Rhyme's script.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't realize that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was like one. I think it was like Shondai.
Speaker 4: One of Shonda Rhime's like first produced scripts ever was
Speaker 4: the Britney Spears vehicle Crossroads. And she's so good in it,
Speaker 4: and she's so charming and like she's a good actor,
Speaker 4: and it's like there it worked out for Mandy Moore
Speaker 4: many more kind of dropped music and started this is
Speaker 4: Us singer. I still don't know what that show is about,
Speaker 4: but damn, she would have been cool in the Notebook.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's what Shonda Rymes also did. Didn't she do
Speaker 2: Princess Diaries too?
Speaker 1: That was like another.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, Sean after Crossroads Yeah right yeah, pre Crossroads.
Speaker 4: And if I'm recalling, I know, I know too much
Speaker 4: of Shonda's filmography. I think it's just shy of It's
Speaker 4: like the year before Grey's Anatomy, she did Princess Diaries
Speaker 4: to royal engagement. Yep, sure enough, it is true. It
Speaker 4: is true. But I'm like, what is Shonda's relationship with Britney?
Speaker 4: Is there one? Yeah, I don't know, we don't know, right.
Speaker 1: What could have been?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: True?
Speaker 2: If she was Meredith Gray?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, yeah right, but then it's like we
Speaker 4: would have been I mean, and again this is like
Speaker 4: not even taking into account what happens later in Britney's career,
Speaker 4: but like we would have we would have not gotten
Speaker 4: some really solid Britney albums if she if she had
Speaker 4: gotten too far into acting.
Speaker 1: So yeah, when she talks about it, she's like, you know,
Speaker 1: at a certain point, I decided to stop auditioning and
Speaker 1: just record, just drop classic albums on you all, and
Speaker 1: like good, yeah, if we.
Speaker 4: Got because if we got like if we got Brittany
Speaker 4: in the Notebook, we may not have gotten Blackout, and
Speaker 4: that would have been challenging for me as.
Speaker 1: A youth for American culture.
Speaker 4: That would have been pretty hard.
Speaker 1: America's bad right now. You think America's bad right now,
Speaker 1: try and picture this counterpack. But yeah, and also she
Speaker 1: has a quote like in one of the articles I
Speaker 1: read about the Notebook thing that she was like it
Speaker 1: was just mentally too difficult, like I just embodied the
Speaker 1: character and like trying out for that character like got
Speaker 1: to me so like she was almost like too message
Speaker 1: for to like actually pursue acting because it was just
Speaker 1: like too painful. Yeah, God, I love that one, which
Speaker 1: sounds like a great actor, like, yeah, let's make it happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's funny too, like because Justin Timberlake does not
Speaker 2: come out looking good in this too, Like she talks
Speaker 2: about how like she became pregnant like with his child
Speaker 2: and then you know, have an abortion and things like that,
Speaker 2: and then like now it's funny to see the pr
Speaker 2: machine move in Justin's direction and they're like Justin Timberlake
Speaker 2: is fine. He's actually just focusing on being with his family,
Speaker 2: like amid the.
Speaker 4: Noise amid the when it's also like pretty well documented
Speaker 4: that his family does not like him, right, So cool,
Speaker 4: I hope. I'm sure they're really enjoying spending time with
Speaker 4: you on this your fiftieth cancelation. I was trying to
Speaker 4: I was trying to think of, you know, like because
Speaker 4: of SAG rules, I'm like, I have to think of
Speaker 4: like a Halloween costume I can wear, and I have
Speaker 4: a lot of I can pretty close to replicate the
Speaker 4: Justin Timberlake denim outfit. And so I'm trying to put
Speaker 4: something together like recently Disgrace Denhim boyfriend. But it's getting
Speaker 4: the hat together because then I, you know, and and
Speaker 4: then I was just gonna put you know, tearstreaks, some
Speaker 4: snatch it like that recently disgraced Denham boyfriend. That's a
Speaker 4: free friend.
