Speaker 2: with Nickles podcast, coming at you again, live from Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Same crew in the room. Brian as yesterday, Brian Frangie.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's true, that's not true.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm gonna say accept.
Speaker 3: Oh. I didn't realize that Connor Hi and.
Speaker 2: Gen z m is no longer with us. She died,
Speaker 2: but in her stead is my boyfriend Chris Convey.
Speaker 1: Is this where they do?
Speaker 2: Fat Benji probably think this is where a lot of
Speaker 2: a lot of podcasts I know are shot here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're saying and popping up more and more.
Speaker 2: The great crew, Yeah, they're great, great guys.
Speaker 1: Are you gen X Chris or elder millennial Chris?
Speaker 5: I wish I was gen X? I wish so bad.
Speaker 5: I think I relate more closely to that. I wish
Speaker 5: there was something you.
Speaker 2: Relate to, the one before gen X music.
Speaker 5: I thought, because of my body, I have an old body.
Speaker 5: Some people have old souls.
Speaker 1: I'm an old body, like.
Speaker 3: I relate to the Silent generation.
Speaker 2: But you're, yeah, you're an old millennial? What are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah? The elder millennial? I hated.
Speaker 5: I wish there was another name because I don't think
Speaker 5: that I'm a cusper by cusper. For a while, we were,
Speaker 5: we were supposed to be gen y right.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but then I think it changed. The millennials changed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, changed the millennial and that why stupid?
Speaker 2: Why would they?
Speaker 1: Both of them are stupid. Gen X is the coolest.
Speaker 4: We got to grow up during the like the millennium shift.
Speaker 4: So it's cool, Like, that's.
Speaker 3: Cool for us.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's named after the Will Smith album.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're millennials.
Speaker 5: We are constantly getting with it, we're spending time in Miami.
Speaker 2: That album was good.
Speaker 1: Who knew that just twenty years later? I would hate
Speaker 1: that man with Oh I.
Speaker 4: Just think that was his last hit hit.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so funny. No, but I loved
Speaker 2: that album, the just the two.
Speaker 3: Of Oh yeah, I like that song.
Speaker 2: I like the Miami. I liked getting jiggy with it.
Speaker 2: I liked Wild Wild West.
Speaker 3: I like, it's like my wife's favorite album of all really, yeah,
Speaker 3: she loves Will Smith. She loves Will Smith. She made
Speaker 3: us play one Will smithsung at her wedding, and I
Speaker 3: was like, all right, because she loves it so much.
Speaker 3: In black even still, after all the stuff well, so
Speaker 3: is there more stuff?
Speaker 1: He just he slap slapped. He slapped Chris Rock.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Jada Pinkett Smith was fucking Jade and Smith's
Speaker 4: best friend everything.
Speaker 1: But he was cool. He gave it. But yeah, he
Speaker 1: was like he was watching in a corner.
Speaker 2: I think slap you know, like you could hate him,
Speaker 2: but I mean, it doesn't take away from the talent
Speaker 2: he does have. And I think he is probably at
Speaker 2: heart a really good person, but just got he's wrapped up.
Speaker 5: Forgive him for what he did to Chris Rock. Like
Speaker 5: jud Abbattou said, he could have killed him, and then
Speaker 5: and then he's and then he's also like used it
Speaker 5: as fodder for other things, and it's like he has
Speaker 5: you don't get to do that.
Speaker 1: I think there was a I haven't.
Speaker 5: Watched it because I will not click on that link,
Speaker 5: but there was he did something with maybe in Bad
Speaker 5: Boys three or whatever.
Speaker 3: A joke.
Speaker 2: This industry is garbage.
Speaker 4: Gage's garbage. It does suck, though, because I think it
Speaker 4: gone away. So if he never slapped Chris Rock, he
Speaker 4: was kind of like the air apparent to Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1: It's like truly a national treasure.
Speaker 2: He was. He he won Best after.
Speaker 3: That night after and they all give him a standing
Speaker 3: ovation after I.
Speaker 2: Gave it it was my favorite, but I'm so sorry
Speaker 2: for what happened to Chriss Rock. It's one of my
Speaker 2: favorite cultural moments of all time because it's just one
Speaker 2: of those things that you're like, are we living in
Speaker 2: a simulation? Like not favorite, Like wow, I had I
Speaker 2: did have a great time, I gotta say, like talking
Speaker 2: about it, processing it, being like what the fuck just happened?
Speaker 3: I great for the oscars generally.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I I enjoyed. I would never want that
Speaker 2: to happened to me, and I'm sad it happened to
Speaker 2: Chris Rock. But it was. It's just funny. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: It's too crazy. He don't act like it was like
Speaker 2: the Ookahoma City bombing. I mean, we're not even gonna
Speaker 2: joke about it.
Speaker 3: He did.
Speaker 5: He did something that one of the coolest people on
Speaker 5: the planets, and he stole part of that guy's leg,
Speaker 5: like you know, like instead of talking about Chris Rock
Speaker 5: and just he stole something from Chris Rock that he Yeah, Chris,
Speaker 5: it was Chris can never get back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris is fine though, Like he's a he's a
Speaker 2: multi multi millionaire, like hugely. I'm not saying, like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's okay that it happened, but it's not a tragedy.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's more interesting to me.
Speaker 4: It's like it's the equivalent of it was like the
Speaker 4: last time we had a monoculture moment, yes, where everyone
Speaker 4: was experiencing something at the same exact time and had
Speaker 4: like difference of opinions on it, and it was just
Speaker 4: kind of amazing in that way that the whole world
Speaker 4: was united.
Speaker 2: I think that's what I liked. I liked the community
Speaker 2: it brought.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the last time this country was united, we forgot
Speaker 4: about our political differences.
Speaker 2: We've talked about this before because we like always talk
Speaker 2: about like these moments in culture, but I don't know
Speaker 2: we've we've done it on air. But like, that was
Speaker 2: so wild thatd that happen, And it was after it
Speaker 2: was mere years after one of the craziest things to
Speaker 2: ever happened, which is the wrong Picture nominee was announced
Speaker 2: the best picture, not just for best sound and editing
Speaker 2: the best picture. They could have fucked up any of them.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 4: It's crazy that they brought out two elderly people to
Speaker 4: do that and they and like it was Warren Baby
Speaker 4: and Fade Done Away, Oh yeah, and like it's it
Speaker 4: was just so perfect that it was also La La
Speaker 4: Land and Moonlight and we're like in this like black
Speaker 4: Lives Matter moment and it's like the one name you
Speaker 4: should not read is Lava at this time, like Moonlight
Speaker 4: needs to win for the world.
Speaker 1: Fade Done Away shaking gas and she looked at Warren
Speaker 1: Bady and and Warren Bady like they they're confused.
Speaker 4: She grabbed the envelope that for Emma Stone winning Best
Speaker 4: Actress for La La Lad. So she's just reading Lalla.
Speaker 4: Why don't they don't they don't grab it.
Speaker 1: So somebody gave it to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're like you're not allowed to open this,
Speaker 2: like it's they give it to you right before you
Speaker 2: walk on, Like I've had to have something. There's no
Speaker 2: way she just grabbed it from like a that's crazy
Speaker 2: that was there follow yeah, oh my god. And then
Speaker 2: but so Moonlight.
Speaker 1: One correct, isn't interesting?
Speaker 2: I don't remember because it was it took away something.
Speaker 1: It was crazy, took away from me. I remember.
Speaker 4: My whole memory of that thing is Jimmy Kimmel walking out,
Speaker 4: and then the white producer of Lalla Lamp being like.
Speaker 1: Move light, you won such a good sport? Was such
Speaker 1: a good sport?
Speaker 2: He was, Yeah, I mean anything can happen. I've been
Speaker 2: thinking about the Golden Globes and like what it's like something,
Speaker 2: what if I get slapped? Like what would I do?
Speaker 2: Like what I would probably do the same thing Chris
Speaker 2: Rock did and just keep reading and you just have.
Speaker 4: To keep moving on and not do the joke where
Speaker 4: Cynthia Rivo is the star of g I Jane two.
Speaker 1: Did you just write a great joke? I related that
Speaker 1: from the dock earlier just to get it out.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's so bad. That's so funny, because that
Speaker 2: would be fun Like if they were a different vibe,
Speaker 2: that would be a very funny joke to make, like
Speaker 2: if we all if it was more fresh in people's minds,
Speaker 2: and like that is so funny. But yeah, like I
Speaker 2: was just thinking, like just people, it's live. People can
Speaker 2: just someone could have a heart attack in the room
Speaker 2: and then what do you do?
Speaker 3: Then I saw you respond to a heart attack and
Speaker 3: and go like all right, where was this? This was
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati or.
Speaker 2: Something had a heart attack or in a medical emergency.
Speaker 3: And I just off stage for a few minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just hang up the mic. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: like try to.
Speaker 1: Know that's the right that's the right way to do it.
Speaker 2: Like, I'm not going to try to be funny. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna try to help, like is there doctors or any
Speaker 2: doctors here? But then get off. There's no part of
Speaker 2: me making that funny exactly.
Speaker 4: And then like well, like they're working on him or
Speaker 4: getting him out or him out of there, Like you
Speaker 4: can't go back to your act while that's happened.
Speaker 5: Like a check spot, you could hum the tune to
Speaker 5: staying Alive in case.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that would be helpful.
Speaker 2: That's the one hundred bpms. There's so many tailors. Are
Speaker 2: we out of the wood? Jeda, we out of the wood? Jeda,
Speaker 2: we out of the wood? Jed be out of the wood. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's so good.
Speaker 1: That's one of the lyrics.
Speaker 3: Can I just say this about Wicked that we neglect? Yes,
Speaker 3: I could say in the last episode, I think the
Speaker 3: most fucked up thing about Wicked is that we're learning
Speaker 3: about all of these characters and we know that the
Speaker 3: future is that some woman from Kansas kills the girl
Speaker 3: in the wheelchair by landing on her with a balloon,
Speaker 3: and then goes and kills her sister later on by
Speaker 3: throwing water on her.
Speaker 1: It never dawed on me. The Wicked Witch of the
Speaker 1: East was the wheelchair.
Speaker 3: Wicked Witch, the wheelchair ladies. It's the sister of the
Speaker 3: Wicked Witch of the West. And so Dorothy comes kills
Speaker 3: her way and then kills her sister.
Speaker 1: She kills It's fucking crazy.
Speaker 3: And then the most fucked up thing of all, how
Speaker 3: are they gonna.
Speaker 1: Spin that in the MOVI.
Speaker 5: That's that's why I feel like they need a third
Speaker 5: They need a third installment because right now doesn't basically
Speaker 5: Wicked rewrite history, because right now Dorothy's a hero, Glinda
Speaker 5: is a good person, and Wicked is basically asserting that
Speaker 5: Glinda isn't that good and that it isn't good to
Speaker 5: kill either of those witches.
Speaker 2: That's right, and that's I think it's interesting that something
Speaker 2: that we culturally have thought forever is like not what
Speaker 2: we thought it was. I think that's a good statement
Speaker 2: of like things aren't always what they seem, and like
Speaker 2: there's the I think it's a good lesson. Yeah, to
Speaker 2: dismantle something that culturally like, I found that really interesting,
Speaker 2: But I also didn't grow up with the Wizard of
Speaker 2: Oz like this is it's cannon, you know, Like to me,
Speaker 2: what didn't matter to change it?
Speaker 4: No, me neither, Like I I mean, I watched the
Speaker 4: Wizard of Oz, but I'm also like yeah, please.
Speaker 3: Well and then the most confusing thing of all is
Speaker 3: at the end of the movie, it turns out that
Speaker 3: all of this was just a figment of Dorothy's imagination
Speaker 3: that she was dreaming, which means this prequel is a
Speaker 3: prequel to her dream.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't actually exist. It doesn't.
Speaker 4: These are just none of these things. These are a
Speaker 4: fever dream. Yes, she got hit with a piece of
Speaker 4: wood in a tornado.
Speaker 2: That's right, okay, but all right, well that makes it
Speaker 2: all even more points. It's so they make new songs
Speaker 2: for the second one, because they hit all the songs right.
Speaker 2: There's no songs they left on there.
Speaker 3: There's just not any bangers like define gravity in this.
Speaker 3: But they'll they'll do refrains, refrains to all the songs
Speaker 3: like that. You will hear little snippets of those.
Speaker 2: I love when that happens, when a song sounds familiar
Speaker 2: because you already heard it.
Speaker 5: And then it'll be like the sad version because like
Speaker 5: a lot of things have.
Speaker 1: Happened, and it's like, so is act to a tragedy?
Speaker 3: I mean no, no, well it does descend into pretty
Speaker 3: sad territory.
Speaker 4: And then because the first one's like so light and
Speaker 4: airy that I was like so surprised.
Speaker 3: It's not a tragedy. Although it is a tragedy because
Speaker 3: the main character dies, so that is in by definition
Speaker 3: of tragedy, I think, yeah, and but it's it's not
Speaker 3: entirely a tragedy.
Speaker 1: Nikky wrote a whole musical last night. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1: It was so funny. I don't remember what.
Speaker 2: I just came home and everything just seemed like it
Speaker 2: should be a musical. I like was talking like this
Speaker 2: and I have to go to bed, and I was
Speaker 2: just like, it's really easy for me to do a musical.
Speaker 1: Boy, he wrote old music, I'm about the Dog.
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, you're gonna be in Chicago one day.
Speaker 2: Everything you do just starts to be like this, and
Speaker 2: you can say everything like this and it just sounds better,
Speaker 2: and then you just like it just you can just
Speaker 2: they do throughout the whole movie. Like the only person
Speaker 2: that started singing where I was like, are they singing
Speaker 2: or talking? Was uh professor.
Speaker 3: Gonegle Uh yeah from Harry Pottery, the go guy Morley.
Speaker 2: Marble can't sing very well, and neither can Jeff Goldblow,
Speaker 2: But I like that they put in people, okay singers.
Speaker 3: Did he sing a little bit because he has well
Speaker 3: he has a song in the second or I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's a song, but.
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean to say they couldn't sing, but like, well, come.
Speaker 1: On, noell was it was labored and then.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like horrible to listen to, but it was
Speaker 2: not Ariana and Cynthia.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: I mean, maybe that's what it is though, like by comparison,
Speaker 5: those two are you've already heard, You've already heard two
Speaker 5: of the best voices that ever existed.
Speaker 1: And then Jeff Goldblue, Oh.
Speaker 2: Jeff Cablum. I really liked the last note he hit
Speaker 2: where I was like, what's he gonna do with this note?
Speaker 2: And he did something by by He just is interested.
Speaker 2: He's so Jeff. He's just Jeff Goldblum. Someone goes, how
Speaker 2: was he I go, he's Jeff gold Yeah.
Speaker 4: You can't look away from Jeff Goldblum is like the
Speaker 4: most dynamics, like.
Speaker 2: Horny for him, Me and the Wizard, we're gonna be together,
Speaker 2: Like she's horny for the Wizard. She's like a little
Speaker 2: girl that has a crush on the wizard, right, a
Speaker 2: little girl.
Speaker 1: A thirty seven year old little girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't want to get into that.
Speaker 3: Ever, she's perhaps she crush, but I think it's more
Speaker 3: just that she's been so maligned by society.
Speaker 4: I think, I think, but I think it's an elderly
Speaker 4: man paying attention to her where her dad is like
Speaker 4: so shitty, Yes, like.
Speaker 2: Her dad is like, but that's why girls get into
Speaker 2: older men in the first place, Like it there is
Speaker 2: a romance thing, like you can't deny there as a
Speaker 2: little girl who would have crushes on like the first
Speaker 2: man you have a crush on, you're never gonna be with.
Speaker 2: Dave Matthews is eighteen years older than you, but you're like,
Speaker 2: I somewhere we might be together, like it was giving
Speaker 2: that it was giving, Like she had a horny crush
Speaker 2: for Room not when she was like seven, but like
Speaker 2: the song the Wizard in me are gonna be together forever,
Speaker 2: like it's horny She's.
Speaker 4: Definitely hornier for him than Fierro, who seems like they're
Speaker 4: supposed to be horny for each other, but like Fiera
Speaker 4: is just like horny for the world.
Speaker 2: This guy who reminds me so much of your brother
Speaker 2: current And I did say before that I like really
Speaker 2: was feeling this guy's but I'm not. I'm just saying
Speaker 2: like he is just a star. Everyone's horny for him,
Speaker 2: like the animals, the women. I love that, I love
Speaker 2: the hearttop comes on in, the men are swooning.
Speaker 6: It was so.
Speaker 4: Trees get wet as he walks by.
Speaker 1: They do it close up.
Speaker 2: Of like, yes, I mean it really was that he
Speaker 2: was just so like great, but I liked the chemistry
Speaker 2: between him and Alphabet. I felt like it's all about
Speaker 2: like he only liked her because she was like not
Speaker 2: that into him, and she was definitely horny for him
Speaker 2: because he because who wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Be sure he's the prince, Yeah he got.
Speaker 2: Her, but then everyone but then.
Speaker 1: But he's also like what he's the prince of what?
Speaker 4: And then alas Dad is the governor of.
Speaker 1: And they're all like his university.
Speaker 3: This is the Wizard of Oz. His rhymes with wits
Speaker 3: like maybe that's why.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's actually you're probably right.
Speaker 2: I loved looking at Ariana's face, it's beautiful. I loved
Speaker 2: looking at Alphabet's studying, like, what's the girl makeup? It's
Speaker 2: so good. There's both. I mean, it was just it
Speaker 2: was just really.
Speaker 4: Want to.
Speaker 2: When they say they're singing live, I'm like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: she is flying through the air. Where was the live here?
Speaker 2: This was all done in posts. There's that doesn't make
Speaker 2: sense for most of the movie where they go they
Speaker 2: sang live. It does not make sense that they are
Speaker 2: singing live, and I call bullshit on it. And another thing,
Speaker 2: oh here we go the show. Here's another thing. Wicked
Speaker 2: is like this triotis on animal rights and how we
Speaker 2: should fight for the animals and the animals should not
Speaker 2: be caged and they shouldn't be our slaves. And so
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is fucking awesome, Like I love that
Speaker 2: this message is like so strong throughout the thing. It's
Speaker 2: kind of unexpected. We talked about it. It feels like
Speaker 2: it shouldn't even be in it. But I'm like, okay, great.
Speaker 2: As a vegan, I love this. I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: so fucking cool. And then I'm like one hundred percent
Speaker 2: this set was vegan, Like, how could they make a
Speaker 2: movie about this and not? And there's no fucking it was.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: I googled Wicked set vegan. There's no even mention of it.
Speaker 2: There's not enough Peter look into this because I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the help, but also no thanks, because unless
Speaker 2: you're gonna live and promote veganism throughout the movie and
Speaker 2: like live by this.
Speaker 3: I think in the world of Wicked they are vegans.
Speaker 3: I still think they eat and meat. It's just that
Speaker 3: there are certain animals who can talk, and those animals
Speaker 3: deserve to be It's.
Speaker 4: Clear bach bachan Slater, he eats rats.
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about him.
Speaker 2: I can't talk about him. I don't want to broke.
Speaker 1: I am so broken because I can't.
Speaker 2: I turned my mom, Okay, so I knew. My mom
Speaker 2: didn't know the backstory of what was going on behind
Speaker 2: the scenes of Wicked. And in case you don't know,
Speaker 2: we're talking about the guy that Ariana is now dating,
Speaker 2: even Slater, who plays who plays back back and who
Speaker 2: plays SpongeBob on Broadway, which none of us would have
Speaker 2: known unless everyone was just trying to trash him so hard,
Speaker 2: like it's not a fact about him that like everyone's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: just used can you play she's dating sponge Bob? But
Speaker 2: I I was so excited to have the little nugget
Speaker 2: in my back pocket to whisper to my mom halfway
Speaker 2: through and I go, and it was the scene where
Speaker 2: the Prince was with him, you know, And I go,
Speaker 2: that's who Ariana is now dating. And my mom goes
Speaker 2: the prince oh, and I go, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no no, And she was who like she was like
Speaker 2: the goat, Like she is awesome. It's such an awesome
Speaker 2: piece of trivia. Half and when he shows up on
Speaker 2: screen and they have like an interaction, I can't believe
Speaker 2: the whole audience doesn't gasp. I love when I find out,
Speaker 2: like I didn't know the timeline of how they met,
Speaker 2: and I know it's none of my business and I
Speaker 2: shouldn't look into it, but I'm gonna like I can't
Speaker 2: wait to find out, like did they meet at craft services?
Speaker 2: Like did they meet during rehearsals? Like when did this shoot?
Speaker 2: Like when did it all go down? Mister and missus
Speaker 2: Smith's style? Why is no one talking about it?
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is.
Speaker 4: Miss there are modern day and Joe.
Speaker 2: And will none of my business? Again, and as someone
Speaker 2: who is now in the celebrity world and not allowed
Speaker 2: to be commenting on these things, but fuck, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I have an opinion about it and it's none of
Speaker 2: my business, I know. But will it last beyond the
Speaker 2: wickedness of it? Is it? Is it a is a show?
Speaker 2: Is it a showman?
Speaker 1: I hope not?
Speaker 2: What's last for her?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope it makes it to you at least
Speaker 1: part two.
Speaker 2: It's better. There spent a lot of time together.
Speaker 1: We take a break.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna go to break come back. So, yes,
Speaker 2: you did not see wicked?
Speaker 3: So who saw my old ass?
Speaker 2: I saw it?
Speaker 3: You saw it? Did you see it?
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: Okay did you cry cry during it? Oh?
Speaker 6: You don't?
Speaker 2: Then you did it because it was It's not an option.
Speaker 3: I mean I saw a body cry all the time?
Speaker 2: What you cry during my old ass? It is?
Speaker 3: I can't remember, like a legitimate cry. I might have
Speaker 3: teared up, but my old I didn't cry.
Speaker 2: Okay, So the main girl looks exact like gen ZM.
Speaker 1: Do you yes? Yes?
Speaker 2: Like identical.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she acts like her a little bit too.
Speaker 2: She talks like her and acts like her. She is
Speaker 2: so her. And so I told gen ZM, like, you
Speaker 2: got to see this movie like she is so you
Speaker 2: and gen ZM watched it and I said, and by
Speaker 2: the way, you're gonna cry, Like there's just no way
Speaker 2: that you're not going.
Speaker 3: It is a beautiful It reminds me of do you
Speaker 3: ever see Francis Ha. Yeah, yes, but that movie, I
Speaker 3: was like hysterical, Okay, I real that really hit me
Speaker 3: for some reason. And this is similar to that's coming
Speaker 3: of age story.
Speaker 2: It's so good and it really I didn't want to
Speaker 2: cry because sometimes I have to say this is such
Speaker 2: a lame quality about myself. But sometimes I I don't
Speaker 2: want to say, pride myself on it. But like I
Speaker 2: like that I'm not just like a girl who cries
Speaker 2: at everything. Like sometimes I think like I'm around a
Speaker 2: lot of girls and they're like they cried everything, and
Speaker 2: I'm just like, because I'm not moved by a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff, I think I have to put my foot
Speaker 2: down and be like I'm not I'm a girl who
Speaker 2: doesn't I'm not like the other girls. I don't cry
Speaker 2: at things. So it's like kind of becomes this part
Speaker 2: of my identity that I'm like, I'm hard in more
Speaker 2: than most girls.
Speaker 5: I have to do a lot of work to get
Speaker 5: you to cry.
Speaker 2: You did it, but I do cry every so often.
Speaker 2: But I thought with this movie, I was just like,
Speaker 2: just there were a couple of I think Anya told
Speaker 2: me she cried, and then who else. Someone was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: it's gonna get you so hard, and I was like, nope,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be tricked by this.
Speaker 1: Is it more of a tear jerker than the Amazon
Speaker 1: janitor commercial?
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that.
Speaker 3: The Amazon janitor commercial storyline was stolen from last season
Speaker 3: of America's Got Talent, where they had an actual janitor
Speaker 3: from Indiana who was very good at singing, and the
Speaker 3: school children all heard him singing and the raised money
Speaker 3: for him to fly to Pasadena so he could audition
Speaker 3: for America's Got Talent. He was amazing.
Speaker 2: You have his album?
Speaker 3: Now I have his album. Yeah, it's called Sweeping Away
Speaker 3: with Ury Banks.
Speaker 2: So wait. The Amazon commercial is like, kids like here
Speaker 2: janitor singing, and they.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's like if the people all get together.
Speaker 5: But it reminded me of the pop star line.
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 5: What if a janitor was actually smart.
Speaker 2: That we're pulling apart? What if? Oh yeah, there's that's
Speaker 2: so good? Popstar are so good. We talked about that.
Speaker 3: I don't like when commercials abuse emotional reactions from the
Speaker 3: people are selling things too. I don't want to. I
Speaker 3: don't want to be influenced emotionally by corporations.
Speaker 1: Oh they're doing it all the time.
Speaker 3: There's so many right now. There's the ones where like
Speaker 3: there's one where the grandfather died and then they're at
Speaker 3: like a family get together and the mom's like, I
Speaker 3: just wish he was here. And then the grandson is
Speaker 3: there being talked to by the uncle, and and then
Speaker 3: they're like, you should go save the grandson. To the
Speaker 3: other guy. This is a really good explanation. But the
Speaker 3: end of that, but the end of it is the
Speaker 3: kid goes, I want to be just like my grandfather,
Speaker 3: and then the dad goes, you already are, and he's
Speaker 3: choking up, and then it's like John Deere.
Speaker 1: Literally just got a little teary eye.
Speaker 2: Yeah hearing the synopsis.
Speaker 1: That so sweet?
Speaker 2: Okay, I hate I hate it.
Speaker 3: I am emotional manipulation.
Speaker 4: Do you hate it because it's John Deere and you
Speaker 4: just hate's heartland?
Speaker 1: Would you like it? More of it was for Prime Energy.
Speaker 5: For Codo packsy he wants multi colored.
Speaker 2: Outdoor stand out, wanting to be.
Speaker 3: Emotionally manipulated by a corporation for the sake of selling things. Okay,
Speaker 3: it doesn't work on me.
Speaker 2: To me, I would if I didn't get into entertainment,
Speaker 2: I probably would have gotten into I think I saw
Speaker 2: myself as like a John ham Madman, like a creative
Speaker 2: person at an ad company, And I think that's a
Speaker 2: really soulless job. So it must be a real home
Speaker 2: run when you are able to write a little story
Speaker 2: with a thirty second commercial that like fuck the product,
Speaker 2: but then that just grasps the people's attention. Like I
Speaker 2: do think that there is some artistic integrity in it
Speaker 2: for these people that have like are truly artists. But
Speaker 2: like they didn't just they.
Speaker 5: Didn't they sold out, They sat them for the page.
Speaker 2: They didn't find stand up.
Speaker 1: Come I want to buy a house at twenty four?
Speaker 2: Yeah that had I not found stand up like it
Speaker 2: just I got lucky that I didn't end up in
Speaker 2: doing that. And the man, they get beaten down.
Speaker 1: I'm so disgubing.
Speaker 5: The older I get, the more I'm just disgusted by
Speaker 5: ads and ads.
Speaker 2: Disgusted.
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. There's billboards everywhere.
Speaker 5: And then I feel like if I listen to too
Speaker 5: much of an ad on like a TV show or
Speaker 5: something else, I feel like they got me, and so
Speaker 5: I skip as many ads as I can to be
Speaker 5: like they're not getting to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 3: Well, they say they've done studies about this, and they
Speaker 3: say that the best way to not have an ad
Speaker 3: get you is to pay attention to it and critique it.
Speaker 3: If you just let it kind of like uh over you,
Speaker 3: it seeps into your subconscious and then your influence without
Speaker 3: even realizing it.
Speaker 2: There are some of the worst ads I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: I have you guys seen these mattress firm ads? Okay,
Speaker 2: so mattress Firm, I guess is already being kind of
Speaker 2: like people are saying it might be a front.
Speaker 5: Can I just say that the whole mattress industry is like,
Speaker 5: it's got they should do with John Stewart, John Oliver
Speaker 5: thing on it. It has got to be like the most
Speaker 5: corrupt industry in the world they did.
Speaker 1: They're just making up numbers on mattresses.
Speaker 3: They did an episode of Adam Ruins Everything called Adam
Speaker 3: Ruins Sleep and guess who wrote it you that's right me, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I wrote it. You ruined Everything, I ruined the mattress.
Speaker 5: Yes, episode exists, Well, good, we shall watch it because
Speaker 5: it is. I was buying mattresses in New York like
Speaker 5: fifteen years ago, and I'm like, what is going on here?
Speaker 5: Everybody's given you a different answer for the same product.
Speaker 5: You go back and then there's it's so shady.
Speaker 1: Something is going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well, they've said that these mattress firm places
Speaker 2: are just fronts because no one's ever in them. They're
Speaker 2: always having huge sales. They're always that they're just money
Speaker 2: money laundering for.
Speaker 3: Well, it's because they don't need to sell that many
Speaker 3: mattresses to stay in business. It really is like a
Speaker 3: billboard like each building. That's why there's so many of them.
Speaker 3: They're always well am store in Times Square exactly, it's
Speaker 3: like a billboard. You're only need to sell like one
Speaker 3: or two mattresses a month to pay the rent.
Speaker 2: Can I just talk about these commercials because they're so heinous. Yes,
Speaker 2: I wrote it down on my phone to be like,
Speaker 2: I need to talk to people.
Speaker 1: I love this.
Speaker 3: I love believe that there needs to be a show
Speaker 3: or podcast that just reviews commercials.
Speaker 2: The person that created these commercials commercials needs to be
Speaker 2: out of the business and like kicked off and everyone involved.
Speaker 2: I really, I am putting you out there like I
Speaker 2: think you should be docks, like I think your family
Speaker 2: you need to find these people. No, I just I
Speaker 2: think this is truly the I would love an investigative
Speaker 2: podcast of how these commercials came to be. And this
Speaker 2: was what leads me to believe it's a front because
Speaker 2: they actively look like they're trying to get people to
Speaker 2: not buy a mattress. So the whole thing is it's
Speaker 2: it's how do you sleep at night? So they'll have
Speaker 2: someone someone behaving just disgustingly, and then someone will look
Speaker 2: at them and go, yes, how do you sleep at night?
Speaker 2: Like it'll be like a guy with his fingers in
Speaker 2: the guacamole at a party and he's just licking it
Speaker 2: on his fingers and then some guy looks at him goes,
Speaker 2: oh my god, what are you doing? And he goes,
Speaker 2: how do you sleep? At night and the guy's looking guacama.
Speaker 2: He goes, I sleep and it's all not long, and
Speaker 2: then it cuts to all night long and then it's
Speaker 2: that guacamole guy on a mattress for a mattress. Why
Speaker 2: would you ever want to associate your brand with a
Speaker 2: guy who licks his fingers after eating? And then there's
Speaker 2: another one where a woman is yelling at her kid
Speaker 2: for being weak on like playing pee football or she's
Speaker 2: like yeah, wake, yeah suck, and a woman next to
Speaker 2: her on the bleacher is like, how do you sleep
Speaker 2: at night? And she was like, well, I sleep all night. Look,
Speaker 2: and it shows that woman on her mattress at home
Speaker 2: and the same clothes she's wearing. It's like, why would
Speaker 2: that pitch ever work in any way? Ever?
Speaker 1: We are living at a time where we it pays
Speaker 1: to be a villain.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what makes me think people these people are celebrated.
Speaker 2: You want to be like that person that just does
Speaker 2: what they want.
Speaker 3: Well, the commercial works because we're talking about it on
Speaker 3: this podcast. Now, that's the whole point of the commercial.
Speaker 2: I guess why wouldn't you do the flip side? Like,
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you have that person.
Speaker 4: Like because good people don't sleep well.
Speaker 2: Recently, there's like some meme going around that like Democrats
Speaker 2: women who are Democrats like don't sleep well and Republican
Speaker 2: women sleep just fine. It's like yeah, or they have
Speaker 2: more depression or Something's like uh huh, I denying that.
Speaker 4: Like for the last like three months, I'm just waking
Speaker 4: up at three am for no reason.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's.
Speaker 3: Why it's better to be a Republican. Like at some
Speaker 3: point you can just go, you know what, I'm just
Speaker 3: going to be a Republican and every I don't be happy,
Speaker 3: I'll finally be happy.
Speaker 2: Take you out to sea. Yea, yes it feels yeah.
Speaker 2: I think about it all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just switch over and forget about all this bullshit
Speaker 3: and just get money. What am I going to do
Speaker 3: have money?
Speaker 1: I don't need to be cool and just give it up.
Speaker 3: What am I going to be sixty five years old?
Speaker 3: Responding to people's tweets? I mean it's it's like, just
Speaker 3: accept the fact that the world is shit's corrupt and
Speaker 3: the only people that are happy are people with money.
Speaker 2: It's it. I mean, yeah, I have accepted it. I
Speaker 2: don't listen to any news anymore. My mom is constantly,
Speaker 2: Like she showed up the other night at Forrest's birthday
Speaker 2: and she showed up. We're all like festive, and my
Speaker 2: mom just watchs and she goes, oh god, did you
Speaker 2: hear I'm just like, what's what now? What is going on?
Speaker 2: She's like, oh, your dad may be listened to the
Speaker 2: news on the way here, this fucking Trump. And I'm like, wait,
Speaker 2: we are three weeks out. Give up, I've let go.
Speaker 2: You're still hearing about him. I don't hear about him
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 4: Yeah. If Twitter, I'm like, I'm I'm your Blue Sky
Speaker 4: and yeah I'm.
Speaker 1: On Blue Sky.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you made it posts.
Speaker 1: I switched over to blue Sky. I love it.
Speaker 4: But also I'm just blissfully ignorant because there's no like
Speaker 4: search function, so I don't see news. Yes, just follow
Speaker 4: comedy accounts, and I'm just like not laughing because no
Speaker 4: one's funny, but like, yeah, but at least I'm seeing attempts.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, just I'm just tapped. I'm out. I've given
Speaker 2: up in a in a different way. I just am
Speaker 2: not paying attention anymore at all.
Speaker 3: It is it's it's important not to pay attention, because
Speaker 3: it really is all the sensationalless bullshit. For example, Hunter
Speaker 3: Biden was just pardoned by Joe Biden, which is like
Speaker 3: he should be no big deal, right, pardon your son,
Speaker 3: and also like they.
Speaker 2: Would do it or like way worse things.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, I mean Trump is a convicted felon and
Speaker 3: they voted for him. So the fact that you'd get
Speaker 3: mad at it doesn't make it hardening your son.
Speaker 2: It's non news.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're so mad that Hunter Biden is maybe.
Speaker 4: The coolest guy to ever live. It's so brad. Honestly,
Speaker 4: that is the one benefit of being like, you know,
Speaker 4: like a Democrat in your fifties. Your Hunter Biden cool.
Speaker 4: You're smoke crack with a different anora every night.
Speaker 1: He's so fucking rack.
Speaker 3: You don't need to be privy to like the sensationalist
Speaker 3: bullshit where every because it's all horseshit trying to get
Speaker 3: you to click. So they're gonna have to make up
Speaker 3: more and more ship to be angry about because they're
Speaker 3: all in charge. So they're gonna have to just pullshit
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, and it's just gonna be a waste
Speaker 3: of everyone's time. It's just it needs to just go
Speaker 3: back to no one paying attention. And that's how we'll
Speaker 3: say it was fun.
Speaker 4: It was so fun Obama years where I just kind
Speaker 4: of really didn't know anything that was going on except
Speaker 4: like being like.
Speaker 1: Oh cool, Inner Pol released a new album. Are you guys?
Speaker 1: Are we? Is everybody watching an English Teacher? Have we
Speaker 1: talked about that yet?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's you've talked about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Best. He's actually written to me and been like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a home run.
Speaker 1: I want to get back to the English Teacher World.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, we're I think we're six episode five or
Speaker 2: six episodes and there's eight eight episodes total and I'm
Speaker 2: going through my second run in three weeks and I
Speaker 2: love it. I would go I woud watch it all over.
Speaker 3: What is the English Teacher World?
Speaker 2: It is like Abbot Elementary and always Sonny and thirty
Speaker 2: Raw No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's you know, Abbitt Elementary, ain't always Sonny.
Speaker 4: It feels like there's like, you know, they're they're kind
Speaker 4: of have they have dirt, bad characters, but set in
Speaker 4: like the world of being like we're trying to like
Speaker 4: you know, like push up the mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, help kids, and then and the main character really
Speaker 2: does care about teaching and wants to do be a
Speaker 2: good person, but he also is like a gay narcissist.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so funny. It's such a great show. Sean
Speaker 4: Patton's incredible hones Like.
Speaker 5: He's unbelievable, It's it's it's girl instills my face.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 2: Obsessed with her. And Chris would be like looking at
Speaker 2: his phone, I go, we have to go back, you
Speaker 2: have to see her face in the shot, like, and
Speaker 2: he goes, it's that good, and I go, it's that
Speaker 2: good and you you like you loved it.
Speaker 1: They're walking the perfect balance between subtle and sensational. Yeah,
Speaker 1: every every single character, Yes, yes, yes, and the main
Speaker 1: guy is.
Speaker 2: He's you have so much fun watching it, Brian, like
Speaker 2: news your faith in TV.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love all FX shows pretty much, and
Speaker 3: I'm excited to watch it.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 4: It's pretty wild that like the show is so grounded
Speaker 4: but also can be broad enough to include somebody like
Speaker 4: Carmen Christopher who is playing a guidance counsel. Oh, that
Speaker 4: guy's so funny, insane, Like, I like, I'm a huge
Speaker 4: Carmen Christopher fan, Like every every one of his short
Speaker 4: films are just like complete bangers.
Speaker 1: But to see him in a TV show is.
Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about him before a stand.
Speaker 4: He was in the bay or he's like friends with
Speaker 4: the bigger Man. He does not fit it on that
Speaker 4: show at all. No, he fits in so well.
Speaker 2: On a perfect Yeah, he's perfect on this one. It's
Speaker 2: so much fun.
Speaker 3: Effects is like the only place doing anything of note.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just crazy and television. They're the only
Speaker 3: ones doing development. They're only ones that are taking risks
Speaker 3: and making shows that are like worth watching. Like everything
Speaker 3: that they make is worth watching, even if it's not
Speaker 3: that good.
Speaker 1: It's like it's like it's like art, Yeah, still making art.
Speaker 3: Even HBO kind of fell off a little bit because
Speaker 3: they got sucked up into like the Game of Thrones,
Speaker 3: where were like they need to have.
Speaker 1: This hates Big Daddy's ass. Yeah, big Daddy calling them that.
Speaker 2: But you just said that you saw James a Caster's
Speaker 2: special on HBO, and that's what everyone needs to watch
Speaker 2: it now because I'm gona watch it.
Speaker 1: It's incredible. Like I love him, I just find him obsessed.
Speaker 1: Every special of his is just like.
Speaker 4: So unique, Like I really love the British style of
Speaker 4: stand up where it's not up at all.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, like when I like when they just do
Speaker 2: something totally different. But he is so.
Speaker 5: When it's good, it's great, and when it's bad, it's
Speaker 5: it's it's the worst bad net.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it bad Net? Nanette?
Speaker 2: No, when it's isn't she a New Zealand, She's New.
Speaker 1: Zealand and New Zealand.
Speaker 3: It's all the same thing. They ran the risk.
Speaker 2: This it's important that you say that.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. It's important and I
Speaker 1: bow down to it.
Speaker 2: But James Acaster, I can't wait to watch it. It's
Speaker 2: called Heckler's Welcome, and he like invites people to heckle
Speaker 2: him during the entire show.
Speaker 4: Yes, he gives four rules at the beginning of the
Speaker 4: show of what the audience is allowed to do.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's so great.
Speaker 4: It's like really about all the things he learned in
Speaker 4: therapy and like why he does stand up even though
Speaker 4: he hates it. He hates it and he's like, I
Speaker 4: hate doing this, I hate performing.
Speaker 1: I hate you guys.
Speaker 2: He was talking about some show where they're like you
Speaker 2: hate it. He's like, yes, and you hate doing this too,
Speaker 2: Like he called it, I think he called up the
Speaker 2: host for being like and we you probably hate this too.
Speaker 2: Everything's a job. It all sucks, but I'm fascinated to
Speaker 2: see it because he is He's truly an original and
Speaker 2: doing something so different, and every clip of I just
Speaker 2: think he's so vulnerable. Yeah, Like I first saw him
Speaker 2: on The Great British Bakeoff and I don't even watch it,
Speaker 2: so it's just a clip of him doing a celebrity
Speaker 2: one where he completely fucks up the cake that he's making.
Speaker 2: And it's really funny. Like he makes like an ocean
Speaker 2: scene and so he's like, taste the ace and you
Speaker 2: taste anything in that and they're like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: and he's like, salt. It makes is salt because it's
Speaker 2: the ocean, and it's like he but he bombs so
Speaker 2: hard on it, but he's like really swept up, and
Speaker 2: it just he seems like he's being real.
Speaker 4: He has that perfect summary where like they ask him
Speaker 4: what happened and he's like, I tried to make a cake.
Speaker 1: How to break down here it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, if you get at the heart of it,
Speaker 2: it's like he's just being himself and it's really refreshing.
Speaker 2: There's like, no artifice there. I don't I don't think.
Speaker 2: I mean, sure there is in some way, but he
Speaker 2: doesn't seem to trying to be anyone but himself.
Speaker 4: No, it's refreshing, it's incredible, and I've just like never
Speaker 4: watched a special where like he has more a therapy speak,
Speaker 4: where like he tells the story of like him being
Speaker 4: humiliated in front of all of his classmates when he's five,
Speaker 4: and he's like five, yes, and he's like, and now
Speaker 4: I realize why I perform is because of this. My
Speaker 4: therapist said that, So when you are not laughing at me,
Speaker 4: you're also laugh not laughing at the five.
Speaker 1: Year old who's on stage with me that I'm protecting.
Speaker 2: Yes, And that is so therapy because that is like
Speaker 2: I was talking to Anya today because Anya did a
Speaker 2: call with the Wall Street Journal. They're doing a piece
Speaker 2: on me, and they needed someone who's like been with
Speaker 2: me from for a really long time and witnessed like
Speaker 2: the rise or whatever. And then Anya was texting me
Speaker 2: before to be like to just gain some insight.
Speaker 3: Can we do that after the break?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go into it right after this break, And
Speaker 2: so Anya, I go, hey, uh, so I sent her this.
Speaker 2: They said, I hope to speak with a friend of Nikki's,
Speaker 2: someone close to her who can talk about this moment
Speaker 2: in her career, how she's approaching the fame and pressure.
Speaker 2: Is anyone available for a ten minute call? And I
Speaker 2: said any Are you free? She said yes, and she goes,
Speaker 2: anything you'd want me to say or not say? I said, no,
Speaker 2: you can say whatever. She said, okay, I said, tell
Speaker 2: them I'm depressed all the time, me no care and uh,
Speaker 2: because she's witnessed a lot of that, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: tell them like the bad. I don't know people will
Speaker 2: rate it, but only people that like already love me
Speaker 2: and can accept it. And she said, lol, it's deaf,
Speaker 2: not a cake walk. But you're a Midwestern workhorse, so
Speaker 2: it's in your blood. And I said, what is Sorry,
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. She said being a workhorse. I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. My parents both are hard workers, but
Speaker 2: they don't feel like they'll die if they stop working,
Speaker 2: which is how I feel. And she said where do
Speaker 2: you get that from? I said, I'm a three And
Speaker 2: I said if I don't accomplish something great, if I'm
Speaker 2: not extraordinary, I have zero value. Also, I'm addicted to dopamine.
Speaker 2: She said, right, But enneagrams are from family Systems slash dynamics,
Speaker 2: so it's partially your role in your family. I said,
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I have to earn lots
Speaker 2: of money and fame to protect them. Maybe I don't
Speaker 2: see it as I need to be like the comic relief,
Speaker 2: Like I don't relate to comedians that are like my
Speaker 2: mom was suppressed, so I had to be the one
Speaker 2: that make her laugh. Like that wasn't that's not me?
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 1: That was me? Growing up?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm the exact opposite where really got to make
Speaker 4: her cry.
Speaker 2: I mean kind of yeah, well you're not worried about
Speaker 2: your mom's.
Speaker 4: Happiness, but growing up that was like yeah, really a
Speaker 4: lot of my first.
Speaker 1: Performing was like trying to get her to like, you know,
Speaker 1: stopping sad. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And I noticed Nolan doing it like with Aaron, like
Speaker 4: like like doing like bits and stuff like hey read
Speaker 4: the room, buddy, Like.
Speaker 1: That's my big.
Speaker 2: It's true. It's such a thing that like kids learn
Speaker 2: how to do, like they can manage what's going on,
Speaker 2: and like if I make mommy happy, if I tell
Speaker 2: her she looks beautiful if I'm sweet, like when they
Speaker 2: start to do like I think my friend's kid recently
Speaker 2: started like picking up on some kind of like weirdness
Speaker 2: that was happening and like overcompensating and they're like, is
Speaker 2: that bad. I'm like, I think so. But also they're
Speaker 2: gonna be who they're gonna.
Speaker 3: Be, going to be something something else.
Speaker 2: It can't be happy all the time, and it's adorable
Speaker 2: and you.
Speaker 3: Are happy all the time, that might cause the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And she said dangerous was your first word, and
Speaker 2: that reminded me that it was because I was really
Speaker 2: scared child. But she was trying to like get at it,
Speaker 2: and I said, yeah, it wasn't about that. It was
Speaker 2: about it definitely was about wanting their attention, like they
Speaker 2: watched TV. They love TV, but it wasn't about getting
Speaker 2: their attention as much as like they represent the world
Speaker 2: to me, So I'm like, oh, to be important in
Speaker 2: the world. Mom and dad watch TV, so they're the world.
Speaker 2: So everyone must love watching TV. But I come to
Speaker 2: find and we came to find out when I did
Speaker 2: start getting kind of like notoriety and being on things.
Speaker 2: My parents are miffed when people don't care, like absolutely
Speaker 2: can't handle it when people don't when they tell them
Speaker 2: that their daughter is going to be on TV? Did
Speaker 2: you know that? I said it to my tennis group.
Speaker 2: None of them watched you on the Tonight sho last night.
Speaker 2: None of them they couldn't stay up. They like, they
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it, so they they sold a thing that
Speaker 2: they also believe. They think the whole world cares about this,
Speaker 2: And I have learned from being in this job that
Speaker 2: people don't care about it as much as you think.
Speaker 2: There are some people that really care about Hollywood and TV,
Speaker 2: but most people don't.
Speaker 3: I would like, if you're in a tennis group and like,
Speaker 3: you go, my daughter's on the ten night show, or
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be at least curious. I think those people
Speaker 3: are just pretending to not care. This is like this
Speaker 3: week least curious.
Speaker 2: No, it's jealousy, and so they don't because they're so
Speaker 2: jealous and they can't admit it.
Speaker 4: But I'm constantly thinking about this because like, truly, to me,
Speaker 4: Hollywood is everything and like yeah, yeah, no, I know,
Speaker 4: I still kind of believe. That's where I'm like, why
Speaker 4: wouldn't you care about this? Because it's like the thing
Speaker 4: I've dedicated my entire life to. It's so foreign to me.
Speaker 4: And then I think about like all.
Speaker 1: The people who are just like truly happy.
Speaker 4: And like, I'm like, I don't understand that, Like that
Speaker 4: doesn't feel real to me. And like so I'm like,
Speaker 4: I guess it's the same thing, but like, but that's
Speaker 4: just me talking in therapy about how like I'm like,
Speaker 4: why wouldn't someone care or think it's the most interesting
Speaker 4: thing the entire world that I have like opinions to
Speaker 4: say and people listen to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cool. It boggled my mind when people wouldn't
Speaker 2: care about because I would have cared so much about
Speaker 2: someone I knew being on TV or having a TV
Speaker 2: show taping in their town, or like even my parents
Speaker 2: and my loved ones, like not wanting to be on
Speaker 2: my reality show, even at that late of an age,
Speaker 2: like five years ago, four years ago, when I was
Speaker 2: pitching it, it didn't even occur to me that no
Speaker 2: one in my life would would not want to be
Speaker 2: on a TV show around show why wouldn't you You're
Speaker 2: on TV? Which is such a naive thing because most
Speaker 2: people do not want that kind of intrusiveness in their life.
Speaker 2: At all, but that it didn't. It wasn't like I
Speaker 2: was dying for it. It was just like, wouldn't you
Speaker 2: want birthday cake?
Speaker 3: Like it was like, would turn it down?
Speaker 1: We were talking about this on the road. We both
Speaker 1: were I tried to turn it down.
Speaker 2: You you, but that was a reason that I like
Speaker 2: really knew I loved you because you didn't want to
Speaker 2: do this thing, but you knew, but it was important
Speaker 2: to me in our relationship. And so you did the
Speaker 2: thing you really didn't want to do and you did okay,
Speaker 2: and look at us, Yeah you did it.
Speaker 5: You did it, and then I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we both did watch it.
Speaker 1: Well, it's impossible to watch yourself as.
Speaker 3: Describable on reality and all the angles too.
Speaker 4: I mean, but we were talking about this on the road,
Speaker 4: where like we were like both we wanted to be on.
Speaker 1: The real world like at young ages.
Speaker 4: And it's like that was like so informative because none
Speaker 4: of my friends wanted that.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, watch TV and don't want to be
Speaker 2: on it. When I was a kid, I thought, I
Speaker 2: see with thought everything. Everyone wanted to be an actress
Speaker 2: and be famous.
Speaker 1: It's what it was like.
Speaker 4: There was a kid from my school who was on
Speaker 4: Broadway and Sound of Music, and like I was, we
Speaker 4: all went as on a class trip and the entire
Speaker 4: way home on the bus, I was just ship talking
Speaker 4: him because.
Speaker 1: I was so chillous.
Speaker 2: Okay, remember the movie Election with Remember the girl that
Speaker 2: plays like the dork in the movie that she is
Speaker 2: Chris Klein's sister. Yeah, she was at she went to Webster,
Speaker 2: which are our other high school, Like it was Kirkwood
Speaker 2: and Webster, and she was this girl that was picked
Speaker 2: out of obscurity to be in this picture. I couldn't
Speaker 2: have been more jealous of anyone in my life, and
Speaker 2: no one seemed to be bothered by it. And I
Speaker 2: was like, this is absurd, Like I just I remember
Speaker 2: when I when I was young and was like you know,
Speaker 2: in high school and I've told this before, but I
Speaker 2: was like, you know, in love with Dave Matthews. And
Speaker 2: I told all my friends like I'm gonna, you know,
Speaker 2: meet him some day and so I'll just I'm sure
Speaker 2: like he'll fall in love with me. And they're like, no,
Speaker 2: you won't. Why would you ever meet him? Like because
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be famous. They're like what, Like I was
Speaker 2: so offended that they didn't think it could happen. And also,
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you want to be famous, Like you want
Speaker 2: to be a dentist, like a famous dentist, Like like
Speaker 2: a dentist who gets on TV somehow and there's a
Speaker 2: show about him. Like, but I think that's the culture
Speaker 2: we live in now, where anyone can be famous for
Speaker 2: doing anything.
Speaker 5: I didn't have this with like Hollywood and being in
Speaker 5: shows or anything like that. But for sports, I would
Speaker 5: like I'd be at a game and be.
Speaker 1: Like, God killed to be out there.
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean I would love to be out on
Speaker 5: that field when I would be shooting by myself.
Speaker 4: I would always be playing these scenarios where I play
Speaker 4: for the University of North Carolina and I was up
Speaker 4: against Duke and I had like three seconds to hit
Speaker 4: a shot in my driveway and I was like this.
Speaker 4: So I've always, oh, no matter what, I've always put
Speaker 4: myself at the top of something. Yeah, like here I
Speaker 4: am the point guard for the university, like never realistic,
Speaker 4: not like oh, like I'm off the bench at Wagner University.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Is it so sad when you realize you're not
Speaker 2: going to be that Because I.
Speaker 1: Honestly, No, there's never there's there like, no, you haven't
Speaker 1: let it go.
Speaker 2: What do you mean you're still dreaming?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, I'm still dreaming, but not in a like.
Speaker 2: But you know you're never going to be Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I could see. I was thinking about this honestly last week.
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, if I just like golf every
Speaker 4: single day, I could probably get on the senior Probably
Speaker 4: I've done.
Speaker 5: I've done math like that on things at different stages
Speaker 5: of my life.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm twenty.
Speaker 5: Six, I could probably practice kicking, punting, and I bet you,
Speaker 5: I bet you I can. If I dedicate my life
Speaker 5: to it. In a few years, I could be good
Speaker 5: enough to like go play in Canada.
Speaker 2: And then you went back to sleep for six hours.

Speaker 2: you know, And so anyway, this is her, uh after
Speaker 2: she watched it. Okay, So I just finished the movie.
Speaker 2: This is everyone watching this.
Speaker 6: And I had to document this because I was like,
Speaker 6: we we were just talking about the card and I
Speaker 6: couldn't remember if you were a sleeper, not about like
Speaker 6: if we get upset by like movies or songs, like
Speaker 6: if you could like be emotional from them, and I
Speaker 6: literally I think it's because you told me I look
Speaker 6: like her, so I then it was like more empathetic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was funny because she was watching it
Speaker 2: and she does look exactly like her, so she was
Speaker 2: like that's me for like made her cry. But I
Speaker 2: was really trying so hard in that movie to be
Speaker 2: like it's not going to get me, and we're at
Speaker 2: the end of it, and I'm texting on you being like, nope,
Speaker 2: sorry because there's emotional things. I'm like it could have
Speaker 2: gotten me. But then man, it hit me so fucking hard, sobbing,
Speaker 2: and I was with my dad and my mom was
Speaker 2: very embarrassing. It wasn't like we were in a dark
Speaker 2: theater and I could just pretend I had allergies like
Speaker 2: I would, and we were all just messes and it's
Speaker 2: about family and like death and like people getting older,
Speaker 2: like so it was just like very resonant and like
Speaker 2: just I would just suggest watching it alone or with
Speaker 2: people you're comfortable crying with, or watch it like Brian
Speaker 2: and don't cry at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: I was still.
Speaker 3: I was angry, actually did out when the big reveal happened.

Speaker 3: in and out.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah you gotta say it that.
Speaker 3: Yeah I went in and out. I didn't then you'll
Speaker 3: like it, but I do. I can see how it
Speaker 3: would make people cry. I think maybe if I was
Speaker 3: in a theater, I would cry, And I did not cry.
Speaker 2: I was like Sean I can't wait for to see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will watch it because it's you.
Speaker 2: You'll love it. It's just like it's so it's such
Speaker 2: a movie you'll like.

Speaker 4: everyone cry and lets me know. There was a movie
Speaker 4: called Me Earl and the Dying Girl where I watched
Speaker 4: it on the plane and I also was drunk and.
Speaker 1: I just started sobbing on the plane.
