You gives the 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.680 vibe of someone who's in their twenties.

I'm going to the 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.400 movies maybe with some friends. Like, I'm not doing a 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.840 dinner because just all my girlies are out of town, 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.200 including fran and And also I got to have a 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.920 really lovely birthday moment in Fire Island, so I'm counting 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.280 that as my true birthday celebration. Oh my god, that's 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.760 what I wanted. Wow. Okay, that's really good to hear. Um, 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.760 And I appreciate. I appreciate how thoughtful that was that 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.920 you that you planned that's literally the exact reason I 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.000 wanted to have even just a moment. But like the 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.560 virgins need to know because okay, say what you wanted 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.320 about your birthday. You hate it, I get it.

Remember that one, yeah, 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:18.680 remember bud birthday of my life exactly, And she'll do it. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.839 And then she'll be like, why is no one celebrating 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.920 my birthday? I'm so lone. I've never been more alone 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.520 in my entire life, and nobody loves me like that. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.560 You are that girl, and you have to strike the 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.479 balance of not trying too hard, don't make too big 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.039 of a deal of it, but because she'll resent it, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.760 but like make sure that she feels at least a 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.400 little bit loved. And then presence. Obviously, our our key 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:44.960 presents are very nice. Okay, wait, speaking of aging, are 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.440 you are you all caught up on what? Just kidding? 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.440 You're aging backwards? You're basically um Isabella Rossellini and Death 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:57.240 of Cooks. Stop it? Um, So, how are you all 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.000 cut up on Ultimate Girl's Trip? By chance, I'm not 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.640 fully caught up, but I am further than I was 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.520 when we were watching on Fire Island. I really wish 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:12.680 you were caught up the Juicy Well wait, what happened 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.919 in the most recent episode, because maybe I did watch it, 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.480 I like was only help paying attention while I was 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.599 watching Brandy and Dorinda get into a really huge beef. 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.720 I mean, Dorinda is such a fucking flop and it's 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.599 picking fights with everyone for no reason. She's like so 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:31.000 so so destructive, beyond for a reason. Because she did 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.520 get into that fight with Vicky about Vicky not being vascinated. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.680 That was then and that, and then at the end 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.920 of the fight was like, oh whatever, like I still 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.360 love you. And it's like, Dorinda, that's actually the one 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.560 fighting that you should hold on to. Wait, actually that 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.640 is so t I didn't even realize that, but it's 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.799 so true. But she did pick another fight with Vicky 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.400 about nothing, and there's a point where it's like encroaching, 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.320 like physical, a physical fight, and Brandy was like, I'm 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.640 gonna rap, I'm gonna sunk her up, and fay Adre goes, 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.599 you can't suck her up. She's a little old lady, 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.360 like like she she's so old, Like, you can't do 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.279 that to her, and Brandy goes, Drenda's only five years 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:13.240 older than me, and Phedre goes, oh for real, oh 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:18.800 for real? Oh my god, okay, untouchable. The m v P. 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:25.520 Phedra is so good to me, is incredible television. Everything 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.359 she says is gold. She looks incredible, every outfit, every wig, 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.320 like she's killing it. She needs to be back on 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.279 on Atlanta or like she needs to spin off or honestly, 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.240 she can like move to Beverly Hills and be on 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.280 Beverly Hills or something. Yeah, I just I'm so happy 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.280 to have her back on TV. To be honest, I 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.080 feel like Brandy is also doing a great job with 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.520 this season, but Phaedra is like so far and beyond 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:56.000 all the other girls, Like I'm play, I was really 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.280 excited for Jill Zarin, and I'm just kind of shocked 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.400 to find that of the housewives unanimously either hate her 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.480 or don't know who she is. She's a flop. She's 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.640 a flop, which I think would be a flop. I 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.920 don't know, but it was a legend. Yeah, but it 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.800 was perfectly encapsulated in that moment where she was entered 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:23.360 to recreate recreate her Scary Island entrance and everyone was like, crickets, yeah, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.000 so good. Even though let's speak clear, Scary Island is 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.320 the best vacation that has ever happened on any housewives 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.720 probably probably. And I did scream go to sleep at 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.400 France at one point while we were on vacation. Hi, 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.680 I will say, oh, I think I did while you 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:45.000 were in your K hole. I can't talk about the khole. 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.160 I mean I can only maybe could talk about the khole. Okay, okay, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.200 okay with the virgin is the only thing the virgins 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.040 needs to know. And I don't want to hear any 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.960 any details of the khole because I blacked out and 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.840 I just really know. I only want to talk about 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.840 the circumstances leading up to it because I want to 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.560 demonstrate what a friend I am. Okay, Moments after we 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.760 got off of our podcast recording last week, we decided 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.720 to do ketamine. I've only ever done bumps of ketamine 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.080 or the nasal spray that you can buy over the 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.520 counter in Mexico. I had never done lines. I had, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.120 you know, poured some ketamine out on a cutting board, 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.040 um grounded up because it was still pretty rocky, and then, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.320 as one does, from the little pilot made, I cut 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.040 three lines for the two of us and our friend Justin, 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.880 and then scooched the rest that was for future, for 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:38.040 future lines to the side. Justin and I each did 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.120 our lines, and I left one for Fran and told 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.120 them to come over and do it. But instead Frand 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.280 did the rest the rest of the ketamine because it 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.160 was in a line shape and it was not. It 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.400 wasn't it was no no no no no no no 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.200 no no, you will not rewrite history. It was in 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.160 a line shape. That's not your fault. That's not your fault. 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.560 I'm still blaming myself because I scooched. I was using 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.400 a car scoch it over. I'm saying, none of this 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.640 is all my fault, and none of this is on you. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.240 I have to be clear. But I was in a line. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.560 It was, and I think the fact that the fact 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.200 that I was able to snort it all with a 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.360 dollar bill is proof that it was in a line shape. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.079 Not at all, because immediately after this happened and we 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.400 realized what happened, I said, I'm not letting my sister 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.959 do this alone. And I and I took the dollar 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.880 bill from the hand and snorted everything else that was 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.160 on that cutting board. You literally said, because I said, 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.960 I am a good friend, this is my sister. I 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.400 am not letting her go on this journey alone. You 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.320 did like gay drugs suicide. Like you were just like, 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:46.720 we're in this together, and but we were not. We 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.960 were not because you fell out. Apple. I had an 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:56.520 amazing afternoon. I was an amazing but then I had 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.200 a rough night because I took a nap before dinner 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.840 and when I woke up, I was in a bad way. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:07.160 We we had to eat dinner with sunglasses on. Um 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:13.600 we did. We did sunglasses on inside. Okay. So something 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.880 that put me into an emotional ca hole was the 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.480 most recent episode of Miss Marvel. Did you did you 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:26.000 watch the Partition episode? My god, fran the way I 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:31.959 cried throughout the entire thing. Oh my god, that was 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:38.079 the most moved I've ever been by anything Marvel has made. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:40.080 You know. I was talking to our friend law La 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.640 yesterday about Marvel and the way that I'm in kind 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:48.319 of Marvel fatigue because everything is just so the same. 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:53.199 There is this house style of Marvel where it's like 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.640 action action, action, wink wink wink, joke, joke, joke, and 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.439 it's just always and some things are more of that, 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.000 some things are less of that, but everything is that's 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.320 the baseline. Like I would say, like something like the 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.880 New Thor movie, which I still haven't seen, like is 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.440 the most that, something like Multiverse of Madness is the 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.319 least that, but it's all still has something that does that, 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:19.280 and it's making me just really I'm kind of over it. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.280 I think Marvel is low key and its flop era, 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.559 except except for Miss Miss Marvel, which somehow like is 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:31.040 still doing that house style thing, but is telling such 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:40.280 an interesting, moving story that truly is deeply investigating the 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.720 lived experience of someone who is not, you know, a 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.480 white man in the Marvel universe and like doing it 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.679 so well, and like this episode particularly it was so 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.200 moving where Kamala like goes back into the past and 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.079 you find out she is the person who saved her grandmother. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:06.160 Like me, I was sobbing, sobbing, was it was so 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.280 I mean, like the thing that's so if someone told 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.839 me that Miss Marvel was not created by Marvel, like 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.880 I would believe it because I actually feel like it 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.400 doesn't have a lot of like the canned things we 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.120 see in a Marvel series, and it's reminding me of 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:27.560 one Division and how unrecognizable it's tropes are sometimes. Um 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.520 and I love that um Kamala is just ordinary, like 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.679 she's extraordinary in her charisma, but like she is just 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.600 really like she's not that good at fighting, like she's 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.800 just trying to figure herself out as a teen, like 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.840 she's a fan and like I think that's so new 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.280 and so fresh, and like the thing about I mean, 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.120 first of all, we have to say our friend Fati 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:52.640 Oscar wrote this episode, this Partition episode, and I never 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:57.280 in a million years I thought that Marvel and entity 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.360 that like Marvel would be center ring a story about 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:06.400 partition like that's insane, which is not something that I 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.720 knew about. I'm so grateful to this piece of media 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:15.559 for telling this story that, like I that I in 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:20.240 the like American school system was never taught and using 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.720 it as a way to talk about the identity of 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.240 this girl and her family, and like gets still about 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:29.360 superpowers and stuff. But it's just like was really beautiful 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.640 and sad um and touching, and I want to, i mean, 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.640 wade into a murky critique of like Marvel in general, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.120 because like, when I was watching the Partition episode, I 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.120 was thinking about how Marvel, in the comics and also 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:48.120 in the movies and series are like obsessed with Nazis 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.960 and like and like say and like um Auschwitz and 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.000 like kind of uh and and that's obviously those are 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.360 stories that need to be told, but the way that 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.079 Marvel tells stories about genocide, it's very flat. It's like 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.240 Nazis are bad and we are good, and the superheroes 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.200 are going to kill them and that's the end of 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.959 like the series. And like, I was so worried that 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.080 there would be a flattening of something that is so 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:17.840 such a rich and important and resonant and painful history 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.600 that was treated with such care and delicacy, and it 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.560 was it's such a small story and it's focusing on 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.440 truly just love and oh my god, I'm getting emotional 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:33.080 just talking about it. The scene at the end, well 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.640 not the end, but the scene of just Kamala and 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.640 her mother and her grandmother. After everything has happened, I 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.920 was so happy that the big fight was not the 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.360 end of the episode, that like you really understood that 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.440 the most important thing to come out of that was 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.000 these three generations of women in this family connecting and 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.800 that that is ultimately what this show is really about. 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.520 You know, this is the penultimate episodes. We still have 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.320 one more. They should be way episodes, by the way, Like, 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.200 why are they wondering I'm wondering if it will fall 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.960 into the same trap that One Division did, where I 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.480 think the majority of One Division was so great and 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:16.520 then the last episode they were forced to menders again. Yeah, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.560 they were forced to you know, funnel the show back 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.680 into the main Marvel thing and have like a big 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:26.920 battle and like everything just like became very flattened into 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.440 the you know what what we keep seeing again and again. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.080 So we'll see what happens in the finale. But I'm 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.880 grateful for this. It's a it's a beautiful reprieve. Okay, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:38.640 we both finished Stranger things. I think, like, do you 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:45.040 want to give just like a quick thoughts on the finale? Um, Well, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.520 my my most resonant thought is that I thought it 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.360 was the series finale, and so towards the end of 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.360 the last episode, I was like, there's no way they're 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.080 wrapping this up in the next fifteen minutes, Like what 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.840 the fuck is going on? Like the last thirty minutes 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.560 were very end of the movie, and I thought, honestly 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.720 lazy writing. I thought that a lot of the wrap 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.240 the emotional wrap ups were not very compelling. I was 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:17.480 extremely bored in the last thirty minutes after the monsters 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.440 killed or whatever, after Vecna is vanquished, which was anticlimactic 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.880 by the way, totally. I also don't think it's interesting 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:29.680 that he's the big bad. I thought he should have been, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.920 you know, the bad guy of this season, and that 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.280 there should have been a final final boss for the 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.720 last season. I like, I think like the whole show 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.680 coming down to a show off between Eleven and Vechna, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.880 and is like, I get what they're going for. It's 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.240 like kind of interesting, but I actually I'm going back. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.400 I actually do think Vecna makes sense as the big bad. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.880 And I also think it's like, yeah, they've destroyed his 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.840 corporeal form allah Volden more, and so now they have 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.840 to destroy his like spiritual form or whatever. So here's 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.040 where theory comes in which I saw on TikTok. Actually 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.359 I think could really be real, which is that since 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.520 Max is like soul has been eaten by Vecna and 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.040 she's just like a comatose vessel, people are positing that 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:24.440 Vecna will possess Max in the final season. I mean, 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.159 I think would be I think it. I think it 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.160 makes a lot of sense. It's very like. It makes 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.639 sense a lot to me with the Duffer brothers, and 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.439 they really have been hinging so much on the Max 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:42.040 Eleven friendship that if in the final season, like Eleven 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.440 had to face off with the big bad possessing her 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.920 best friend, that would be really interesting and I think 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.320 emotionally satisfying. And I think Sadie Sink is a really 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:58.080 great actress and she could do really well playing that villain. 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.560 I don't know. I I loved it. It um just 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.760 not the last thirty minutes. It was a fun ride. 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.000 I had a good time, Okay, Rose. We have to 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.560 end on the breaking news at the time of this record, 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.880 which is that Beanie has decided to leave Funny Girl early, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.240 following the rumors that Leah Michelle is replacing her. Well, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.359 let's be clear the actual breaking news is the confirmation 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:28.120 that Leam Michelle is replacing announcing. Beany announced yesterday Sunday 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.040 that she was leaving, and then Funny Girl said they 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:34.879 would be announcing her replacement the next day, and surprise, surprise, 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.960 it's Liam Michelle, of course, which is like, I think 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.399 it's crazy that they replaced Jane Lynch though, could you 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:44.960 imagine Leah Michelle and Jane Lynch in Funny World together. Well, 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.680 Jane Lynch was supposed to be in the show until 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.680 like September, and I'm sure as soon as they confirmed 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:57.160 Leah James out of here. Um. I did get some 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:03.840 secondhand tea about Beanies exit, which is that she has 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.479 been trying to get out of the show since the 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:12.600 Tony nominations came out and she wasn't nominated. Um, And 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.800 so that's why this has all been fast tracked, which 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.560 makes sense, you know, Like, I'm sure it's been extremely 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:23.680 overwhelming for her to get all this bad press, to 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.000 be in this thing that is like a flop in 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.840 a lot of ways, and you know, someone lied to 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:34.439 her several times, someone but doing this show was a 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.440 good idea. It's just crazy because she's so wickedly talented 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:45.040 and like wickedly talented and everything that's talented. Let's be clear, 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:51.640 she has been really good in supporting roles in other things. 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:57.440 A lead role, but she had I didn't, I didn't 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.520 watch it was so she was amazing in it, and 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.160 books aren't she had, you know, someone to play off 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.919 in Ladybird? You know, she has a supporting role that 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.640 she really shines in this clearly like she was not 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.359 vocally prepared to sing the show and probably like is 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.520 not at the point in her career where she's ready 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:21.520 to take on this kind of role, and she really 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:25.679 was set up for failure by everyone involved. I just 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.840 Beanie is so great, Like I really believed she could 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.359 do it, but none of us had heard her sing before. 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.760 So it's just unfortunately sing a little bit in Lady Bird, 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:36.320 and it was like, oh, she has a nice voice, 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:41.720 but she's you know, playing a role that Barbara streisand played. 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:45.000 You know, it's it's big shoes to fill. And it's 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:49.920 also just really funny in a kind of sick way 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:55.760 to look at her and her good Judy ben Platt 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.520 and see the ways in which these nepotism babies have 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:04.480 had their parents like buy them these vanity projects that 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:08.159 they could not support, could not do, could not cut it. 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.600 That's that's kind of rotten. But like if this is 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.639 a privileged thing, like I hope somebody learns their lesson, 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.639 because girly, you've got a clock the hours before you 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.240 take on Funny Girl. But I'm so rooting for Beanie 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.120 and I'm so excited to see what she does next. 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:25.760 So long, I think she should stick to film, like, 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:27.760 go back to being a movie star. She's amazing as 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.639 in movies she's amazing, and TV too, she's amazing. She's 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.640 an amazing actress. She just doesn't need to sing. And 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:37.720 I do want to see Leah and Funny Girl too, 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.280 So I don't think if anyone out there is listening 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.840 and wants to get us tickets actually well after we've 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:49.240 insulted me, tied, Yeah, but we would. We would praise 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:54.399 Leah because she's going to be amazing. I don't. I 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.320 think she's going to be great. I think that she 0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:01.040 makes out of anybody you know casting right now. I 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.320 think she makes a ton of sense. But it's just 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.760 like just nobody can do Barbara and I I don't 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.720 really as much as Barbara as she is, she's not 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:16.600 a good actress. Sorry, I think she is a good actress. No, no, no, no, no, yeah, 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.600 I think she is. I saw so many times. I 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.360 think she's really great. She has an amazing voice. We've 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.000 already seen her do like several numbers from Funny Girl 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:31.720 on Glee. And I also just think it's so crazy 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:49.000 that the meme came true. We have to talk about 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.560 your Fire Island experience. Oh my god, we have to 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.600 talk about now. I am a changed man. I've come. 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:56.199 I went to boy and I came back a man. 0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:00.320 So you had while you were there? I did, I did, 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.240 I did. I said the whole I read exactly from 0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:08.280 the tour as the first time Fire Island islander. What 0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.080 were your key takeaways? What did you think? Well before 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:16.399 I went, Um, Shane O'Neill, you know Shane, I had 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.080 spoken to him about it and he said something like, 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.480 on Far Island, your friends are real. The people you 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.840 want to have sex with who want to have sex 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.880 with you are real. Everything else is just a mirage. 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:31.320 That is so true. That's the best advice you could get. 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.000 It really was, It really was. So I really carried 0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:36.080 that with me, Um, and it was crazy because we 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.840 went exactly when the Fire Island movie came out, which 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:44.240 was on purpose the weekend.
