excellent rendition. Thank you. We gotta get not believe your

as Yeah, you're like one of my favorite singers. Oh
thank you. Okay, next time, when it's my fourth appearance
on d Z, I will breaking stop the yard like
y'all won't even know what's coming with my cover song. Okay,
because I opened every match viewer with a cover song

(03:27):
and like they are so dear to my heart. But
I didn't want to, like I didn't know if like
the fourth seat was allowed. Oh no, I remember. I
think last time when the first time you graced us
with your pipes, I was singing, somebody was singing Britney
Spears and then you hopped in and then I was like, okay,
well just take the microphone. You know what I always say,
everyone in l A can sing. It. Go to karaoke

(03:49):
and you'll go, oh yeah, everyone can sing. I mean,
you know, I always say move home, or if you're
thinking about moving to l A, don't. We're full. We
have enough talent. Everyone can sing here every it's funny,
we're all attractive. It's hard, it's hard. Don't step onto
my singing block, you guys, because I've got this cupboard. Okay,
I think we all know that. My patch Jackie, how

(04:12):
are you quarantining? How's it going for you? You know,
it's it's not easy having an open floor plan in
one bathroom. Yeah, it's it's a lot. I um. You
know my boyfriend, he was actually just on this show
a couple of weeks ago, last week. M last week
was it? Who know what is time? What? Days? Like

(04:34):
weeks and days like he was, you know back over there, right,
he was here, and you know he's always he's he
just has a book out. He's promoting it. I mean
literally sometimes he's like on the phone with Congressman and
I'm like, hey, I need to drop a deuce, can
you Like, it's just there's no there's no space, and
I'm trying to not embarrass him, you know, like eating

(04:55):
my peanut butter puffins while he's talking to like somebody
running like a voter writes and issuet him in the
other world like it's it's been hard, but we're doing
our best. Well, it's great to have you back, thank you. Yeah.
The one bathroom can be an absolute battle. I know
they're one bathroom, especially like it's hard now in Core

(05:16):
because it used to be like people have routines getting
out the house in the morning, so I'm like, yep,
and then that's we had ways to, you know, sort
of diplomatically share the bathroom. And now it's like like
me pounding on the door and like a man, come on, man,
I need to get in there. Man, come on, I'm
telling you. And if you're eating all the same food
at the same time, you know you're on the same schedules,

(05:38):
it can get a little dicey. It is very stressed.
I've never had to poop at the same time as
someone so frequently where you're just like, oh, whoa, it
just hit and then but he like beat me by
two minutes. And then he's like, it's gonna be ten minutes.
Do you have access to this room? The cycles? Lock up,

(05:58):
the cycles, wake up. I'm telling you. Sometimes I'm like,
should one of us just kitchen sink it? How bad
is it? I've had I've had. Uh when I lived
in Santa Monica, we have one bathroom and we would
frequently have toilet troubles and we would uh yeah that
there was some kitchen sinking going on. There was some

(06:20):
bathroom sinking going on. There was some reliance on the
Starbucks up the street going on, and sometimes they were
like they got tired. I mean we don't even have
a star Wars. I mean we both have therapy, and
like I'll make Ben go sit in his car for
my therapy and vice versa. And one time I was

(06:41):
the middle of my therapy, boy and he runs in
like I gotta ship I gotta ship man, And I'm like, oh,
you know what, we're doing our best? Yeah, all right,
let's we're gonna get to know you a little bit
better in a moment. First, we're gonna tell our listeners
what we're talking about. It is a Monday episode, so
that means we're gonna be going over some culture that
we consumed over the weekend. I watched Sleepless, the two

(07:06):
thousand seventeen Jamie Fox movie that I thought was a
new Netflix movie, uh, and figured out that it was
an old movie halfway through. Uh, it was yeah, we'll
talk about that. Miles and j M I writer watched
Shrek the Musical. Jamie and Jackie watched The Wrong Missy,

(07:33):
which is that right is that what it's called with
Lauren Lapkiss and David I kept calling it the other missy,
but it's in fact called the wrong missy. And then
at one point David Spade says the wrong missy and
You're like, oh right, the titular line he reminds. He
reminds you. I kept thinking was the other missy, but
then David Spade kept saying the correct name. It was helpful.

(07:53):
That script really is there for you. I I get
the feeling that at some point he's going to learn that, uh,
maybe she's the right missy, but I don't know. Well,
we'll we'll fit. We'll talk about it when we get
to it. Um no, s I know. I'm sorry. The
NBA maybe coming back. Joe Biden is m I except

(08:16):
for like he makes a fifteen minute appearance to just
like funk up for a little bit. So we might
talk about that stuff if we have time. But first, Jackie,
we like to ask our guests, what is something from
your search history that's revealing about who you are? Apple Martin,
Apple Martin, like familiar with Apple Martin? Yes, but Martini, Chris,

(08:44):
I'm telling you, I did not know what this person
looked like. I saw Papa Rost photo. She's fifteen, and honey,
there has never been a human being that has put
a blender two people in a blender and mix together
perfect and being of the two of her parents. I mean,
it is wild. She is literally the two of them

(09:05):
mixed together. Oh wow. I was like, what I mean,
I remember when she was born, but like she's a
full fledged human now. Yeah. Yeah, You're like, you're like, wait,
you were a baby, but now you're an adult. It
what is she have? Like dreams and ship? Is she

(09:25):
trying to do something or I don't know her and
Dakota Johnson or like bff. And at first I thought
that was weird, but I was like, they're different, friend,
they're fifteen years different, but you know, Dakota's fifteen years
different from her dad, So like she's dead in the
center of the two of them. But I'm just like,

(09:46):
and then I started looking up all these other damn kids,
look up um Ava Philippi, Ryan Philippi, and she is them,
I guessed. Together. Those jeans are so strong that just
looks like a picture of Reese Witherspoon photoshop next to herself.

(10:06):
Looks like Apple Martin and Apple Martin and Dakota Johnson
are also the exact same kind of nepotism, so it
does sort of makes sense. They're like two very famous
yet different people having a kid. Like it's that's that's
a similar nepotism. Flame. But I bet they discussed like
their famous parents all the time. Yeah, conversation they're like, wait,

(10:30):
what's your grandma? And meet the parents? That's so funny.
Like I love Live Danner though her jeans are strong
because Gwyneth Hills, she's got the full on Live Danner vibes.
And that has only continued. What that Danner genealogy that
we need to look into those genetics because that that
in the Witherspoon's because typically you'll see like I think, Jack,

(10:53):
your kids are a blend of you and your wife.
That's very clear. Then sometimes you see people who just
somehow like forced another person to just cleave off a
copy of themselves, and you're like, oh my god, I
don't see any of you in this child. It looks
like all the other person. So it's interesting. Actually, a
direct quote from my dad about my kids, he said,

(11:14):
I don't see any of you in him. Okay, that's
a weird thing to say, Oh really, it's like the
first time. Oh yeah, I'm so hard to look at
a baby and be like, I know people who say
I'm one of those liars. That's like, looks just like you.
Oh my god, oh my god, my chin. It's in

(11:35):
the chin, the ch Unless you're talking to Reese Witherspoon,
that is a lie. You will never get a parent
to be like, really, I don't see it. That will
always be like, I know right, I do look like them.
My niece was born two months ago and she's beautiful.
It looks nothing like my cousin at all at all.

(11:57):
But I'm just like, wow, I see it in the knows,
like just guessing. Everything's a question you she looks like you, Jackie.
What is something you think is underrated? Okay, we're all
cooking at home right now, right underrated? Adding fresh herbs

(12:18):
to your ship. Okay, I'm telling you. You can get
a microwave pizza or a you know, a box pizza
in the freezer. Put some damn herbs, honey, get that
basil going, pop that basil in there. You're like, where
am i Italy? Am I in Tuscany? Get those herbs, sweetie?

(12:39):
I know they're intimidating if you've never bought herbs, but like,
get those herbs going. I'm telling you, get that celatro going,
get those chives going. If you're feeling freaky, get that
deal going. You aren't even gonna know what's happening. You're
gonna be like where am I right now? Am I
olive garden? Like? This is delicious? Can I say that
just just based on the energy you're you're bringing right now,

(13:00):
I would say you're probably top five people in the
universe to be quarantined with. Well, last time we had
to bring up the fact that Jackie, you you were
ahead of us on our hand washing game, because last
time you were like, you'll wash your hands for too
happy birthdays or whatever or whatever this thing is. I
am a washing influencer. Yes, I want to credit you

(13:23):
because I almost I think I will credit you with
my own safety because after that I actually did consider
like what you were saying and became better with my
hand washing. Cut to Core, I'm I'm alive. Thank you, Jackie.
Before jack it was people thought I was wearing gloves. Yeah,

(13:45):
it was just dirt, just dirt. I would always watch
from the wrist up I've always made a really neurotic handwasher,
even like when I take my dog out at night,
Like I come inside and I washed because I'm like
I touched, I touched the door knob, you know, like
I've always been like that, and I guess it's saving
my life now. So yeah, certainly I noticed that you

(14:05):
have a bespoke mic cover. It's a different mic cover
than your boyfriend head. That's another she has a brand, Jack,
she has a brand right, Oh yeah. And and and
I sanitize everything. You think I let him touch me.
No way has has met suit intercourse. I mean we're

(14:25):
how he's getting near me? How does how's chooches coat
looking right now? She she just had a fresh cut.
She's looking crash. She's got the pom pom ears. The
other thing about herbs, though, for everybody you have plenty
of time, they're they're cheap. Like sometimes grocery stores have
living basil or living herbs that you can just take

(14:46):
home from the grow. You don't have to go to
a yeah, and then just give that, give that little,
give that some life. And you got herbs going. Baby,
I'm telling you got yourself a damn herb garden. Yeah,
those herbs out. What is something you think is overrated? Okay,
this one I'm excited about motion. I'm done with lotion.
We're oiling only only oil. Wait, wait, unpacked, because I

(15:11):
take I I think of all the people in the world,
I take your skin care advice the most seriously. So
please unpack this. Okay. So, I don't know if y'all
have been noticing, but there is now body oils, face oils. Honey,
I'm all about those oils. Oil up every day. There
you go, So you could rub that and then just

(15:33):
keep the neck with it, expel it from your pores
and then just rub it back in. Honey. Yes, real oil.
But no, I don't know why. Like I just feel
like a cream isn't as satisfying. But now that there's
body oils, honey, you look like j Lo. Like you
really do look like j Lo from like the Jenny
from the Block video. Like I'm just like, damn, I'm

(15:54):
looking like j Lo. I'm eating like I'm in Tuscany.
I live in my best damn core live, so I
come in on her worst day. I would. I would
take that, right, I think we all would. I started
using coconut oil because I have to cut my hair
so low on my head, my scalp gets really dry.
So I started using I got into the oils through

(16:15):
coconut oil, and I started that would help keep my
scalp moisturized. And then I was like, fuck it, Like
my my I'm always quite ashy living in this dry climate.
And I started using coconut oil here and there. But
I don't is that is that good? Is that fine?
Coconut oil isn't oil? That's what I'm talking about. You
could bring that oil miles head to toe. You could

(16:36):
oil up the arms, oil the feet, oil the legs.
Secondary concern, how do I how much time doing before
I put on clothes so it doesn't look like I
had a bag of French fries spilled all over my clothes.
You know, that's your own personal preference, because that is
a mood transparent. We call that nude minutes. When Cameron

(16:58):
Esposito came on Matchbute, she was like, I do nude minutes.
So I come out of the shower, I do my
body oil routine or what, and then I have my
nude minutes and then I put on my clothes. Ah,
And that helps any kind of staining or damage from
the oils. Yes, that's all I need to know, because
all the time I'm like, I just feel like it's
easy to put on my legs or whatever because I'm like,

(17:19):
my jeans would never know. But there are other times.
My regular moisturizer has been making me break out lately too.
I don't even know why. But well, you know what,
my myth might help that. Okay, what's the myth? Seamless? Okay,
so yeah, I didn't even plan that. So the myth
is you don't need sunscreen if you don't go outside,

(17:41):
so during quarantine, you don't need to be doing sunscreen.
That is wrong, honey. The sun is getting us through
the windows and it is making it's making all our
skin look like shit. I mean, I was like, why
do I look like shit? I'm not going outside, I'm
not wearing makeup, and it's because I wasn't doing sunscreen
and all these damn windows in this sunny con know,
we're fucking up my skin, and so none of you

(18:03):
are safe. None of you are safe. Okay, sunscreen every day,
even if you're in quarantine and you're staying in your
damn house, you got a sunscreen up because the sun
is getting us. What's the wait? So what do you
mean just from not having protection when you say I
can't imagine how your skin would ever look like quote
unquote shit, But what do you mean by that? Like?
What were you noticing that you're like something? Okay? I

(18:25):
was starting to get discoloration, meaning like dark spots, and
then Ben was like, hey, you look tan, and I'm like,
it's not tan, it's just like darkness. Like my face
was starting to get sort of discoloration and my skin
tone was getting on even. And then I noticed, you know,
bless his little Jewish heart, he started getting red neck.

(18:50):
He started getting sun from just being in the house.
So we all need to be wearing sunscreen, is what
I'm saying. Just because you're not going outside, you need
sunscreen everybody. You hear me and Jamie. If you're having
some issues, it might be because of the sun. The
sun's hurting you. The sun is still public enemy number one,

(19:11):
still public radiation that it giveth and it taketh. I
was wondering telling you, like, my skin has been on
a wild journey since quarantine started. There have been weeks
that I'm like, it's never looked this good. I've never
been drinking this much water before, and then this week
was just a plummet for reasons unclear to me. Maybe

(19:32):
it's then. I'm telling you, if you spend any time
near any windows, he is, he's out to get us.
He's out to get us. Helios. I'm telling you, all right, guys,
let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
talk about stuff. And we're back, and just a couple

(20:04):
of things to cover off. I'm real quick. So Biden
continues to be hidden mostly from sight. I've seen various
ways that people are covering it. Some people are like, man,
he's really bad at this, which we knew heading into
the primary. He's like Mr gaff guy. He's running for

(20:28):
president like dozens of times and fox it up every time.
So now like in fifteen minute increments while he's at
home and there's no crowd there cheering them on, just
it's just a bad look. He's like swapping the number
of deaths with the number of jobs lost. He's just
gaff ful. I mean, the one benefit is he doesn't

(20:50):
necessarily have to get out there because because of the pandemic,
Like he can just comparatively not say anything, while Trump
has like Kaylee mcinaney like waving binders around wildly, being
like Obama just gave us paper as a plan, you see,
Like I think that's why a lot of people like
you know honestly, Like That's the thing with Biden is
like sometimes not hearing from him, like often not hearing

(21:14):
from him is better than hearing from him. His his
like already assorted reputation stays intact the less he speaks. Yeah,
if he's like addicted to making himself look like a dumbass.
It was it was interesting quote he had where he
was like, hey, if anybody in their heart believes the
terror reads allegations, then don't vote for me. Was sort

(21:35):
of like his which was like hold on pushed his
finger into people's chest. Rape culture is mainly in the heart.
That's where, that's where it lived well. And then also
just like the idea of like that's not don't even
use that, like, well, if you're voting for me, it's
because you believe that I'm innocent. It's like no, no, no,
that's that's really not the case. Here. There's just a

(21:55):
bin area I have to choose between at the moment
and that's what it is. Because if I was any
with my heart, that's the reason I wasn't supporting you
in the primary because I was with my heart, Then
leave my heart out of it, because yeah, leave my
funet there. My heart. Especially watching this damn Shrek musical
the thing, Okay, I'm so excited. Yeah. With Biden, it's

(22:18):
like I also I'm like, yeah, he should be saying
and doing more, but like I also have zero faith
though what he says or does would be useful or productive,
So I ultimately I'm like, just stay in the room. Whatever.
And then there's a couple back to work things the NBA,
maybe going back to work they may be doing, like
there's rumblings that they're coming back in the middle of

(22:40):
July to do just the playoffs. Um, but there's like
the I don't know, the all the best players had
a call and they were like, yeah, let's do it.
And I still feel like there's gonna be a lot
of players who are like not super down for that,
and it could be really messy. And it wasn't the
idea to have them playing some like bubble like enclosed

(23:02):
like controlled facilities, so it's like they're really in control
of who's in and out and stuff. Yeah, the thing
I'm hearing is Orlando. And again this I never talked to.
My dad works for the NBA, and I never talked
to him about stuff like this, So I'm not hearing
this from him. I'm hearing it. I never talked I
never talked to my dad. I never talk never talked
to my dad. I haven't heard from him since he

(23:24):
said my kids don't look like but I. I have
a friend who like hangs around with a lot of
people in l A who are like NBA connected, and
he says that he's hearing July fifteen and it's going
to be Orlando and they're gonna do the playoffs. Basically,

(23:47):
that makes sense that Florida would be exactly of the
most likely states to lift Koar for for some some
ship is right how or just you know, reward the
people of New Zealand with NBA playoff basketball. I was
gonna say, why not go back to New Zealand where
like you can actually have crowds, because but that would

(24:10):
be like the smallpox circus coming to town where they're like, dude,
a plane full of fucking no no, no, no, no, Well, yeah,
you would have to. I mean, whatever they do, they're
gonna have to quarantine them for fifteen days and then
test them to make sure that everybody is virus free
and then they'll play. But you know, it's just too

(24:31):
as as Jeff Goldblum taught us all in Jurassic Park,
nature finds a way. So I just feel like it's
gonna be too hard to to figure it out. That said,
I would love to watch it, um Man, this is
just such shitty timing because I've been watching the Last
Dance and now I'm like the biggest freaking MB you

(24:51):
know fan ever, I'm like ready to go now. I'm like,
I mean, honey, I mean, but there's no games super
producer around a Hosnie A forward a story to us
that I had missed that uh Michael Jordan approved the
Last Dance when Lebron like won the championship in sen
and like kind of started legitimizing the argument that he

(25:15):
might be the greatest of all time because he like
beat the team that won seventy three games with like
a much worse team, and Jordan was like, nah, people
need to know. I just I mean, you know, there
was a moment probably where someone on ESPN like it
was a Stephen A Smith. He heard someone articulate and

(25:36):
I mean, now Lebron has got to be in the
gold conversation and like join and that was all I needed. Yeah,
and that was all I needed. Every and that was
all I needed. Joke is the funniest thing I've ever heard.
Kroger is also uh. I mean their their employees have
been essential employees, but they were paying an extra two

(25:59):
dollars an hour and that was called the hero bonus,
which was great. And now because their executives and need
more money, they're going to stop doing that as of
the last week. Uh. I mean, wow, they're giving them
two dollars, like in a way to say, hey, we
acknowledge the risk you are taking by continuing to help

(26:22):
generate revenue for our business. Although yes, providing groceries is essential,
let's not get it twisted. The people who work at
the grocery store aren't going there because they're like, brother,
checks are so fat, I'd be foolished not to go
into work. Um, this is just this is just part
of like being a what the hardship of being a
wage worker in this country because wages are not living wages.

(26:45):
So already Kroger was in some ship because after this,
like you know, it's also fred Meyer, I think and Kroger.
If you're in l A, it's Ralph's. It's the same people.
But basically they're saying, yeah, we don't want to give
any more money. Prior to that, they were getting in
real deep ship because they were essentially telling workers like, hey,
even if you feel ill, like why don't you try
coming on in and people like whoa, whoa, what is excut? No,

(27:08):
And they're like, oh no, no, we were joking. We're joking,
and then eventually had to be shamed into like yeah,
no seriously. Then they like essentially had to relent, and
then they're like, fine, any employee that's too pussy to
come into work because they're ill, you'll get two weeks
paid vacation for now. Um. So then all that's been

(27:28):
going on, they've already been in a bad light. And
then Judd Legum, who you know, he was sort of
looking into some of these sec filings from the company,
found that the CEO basically their total compensation for twenty
one million dollars, and a lot of that money came
in the form of a bonus in March of this year.
Not to say that this is tied directly to COVID,
but let's just say as the world was coming apart,

(27:51):
he came into a lot of money, and not not
necessarily because of how he was treating the workers. But
this is the situation again, if you want to just
do some juxtaposition, the average annual salary or annual income
for an essential worker essential at Kroger is about twenty
seven thousand. This man makes twenty one million dollars. That's
a ratio of seven eight nine to one. So you're

(28:13):
telling me a wage. It's just yeah. What's more is
in that ratio was only four hundred eighty three to one,
So they went from four eight three to one to
seven eight nine to one. As people who are putting
their lives on the line to generate that money that
they take in their salary are losing their lives, and

(28:34):
many people who work at Kroger's have been losing their lives.
Not to mention there's many places where this is happening,
but there's been an uproar saying like, hey, there's people
in there's someone who lost your life in Murphysboro, Tennessee
in Michigan, they're raising this concern that like we still
don't feel safe now. The one last thing I just
want to say is that the Judd legan when he

(28:55):
was looking at how the bonuses are given out, that
bonus it's tied to the c EO creating as much
free cash flow as possible within the company. Like that's
an actual um it's he's incentivized to create as much
free cash flow. And when you're giving people a two
dollar hero bonus, that is not going to create free
cash flow. So we're also seeing like it's set up
to incentivize them being cruel to their to their customers

(29:19):
or to their employees. Rather, it doubles down on the
frustrating nature of a lot of these commercials that are
coming out right now that are like praising essential workers heroes,
and but there's also like big companies that are I
mean Amazon has been doing it. They have like every
YouTube add I've been getting is takes place in an
Amazon workhouse talking about how much they value and they're

(29:41):
like our essential workers are blah blah blah, and it's
like it's the most fucking condescending thing in the world.
Are essential workers are getting fired for raising concerns about
the conditions in our warehouse, for attempting to unionize, Like
it's it's it's the most condescending thing in the world
to make a p s a about how you consider
your essential worker is to be heroes. But you are

(30:01):
firing them for standing up for themselves and have never
in the history of your company paid them a living wage.
And the gust on your way to being the first
trillionaire on earth. It's just the most it's it's evil.
It's someone put it things like he could he could
afford to, like solve world hunger twice a year, and
still keep money in his pocket. Like when you actually

(30:22):
are sitting on that amount of money, like something has
to give and I don't know at what point that's
going to happen, But what the funk are you going
to do with all that money? Is don't just sit
on to you die and be like I just want
a bunch of libraries erected with my name on. No, no, no, no,
we have people starving right now and you can do
something exactly. And just so everyone's clear, this is this
doesn't have to be the case, like the disparity. CEO

(30:46):
compensation has grown nine and forty percent since typical worker
compensation has risen twelve percent. So it's you know there,
it's just by design, yeah, scamp. Yeah, and again it's
this is why they use the term wage slaves wage
slavery because you you if if you had a choice, right,

(31:08):
you could say, well, I'm paid enough that I could
take any job I want. But because of certain financial
situations for people in the way we compensate people, you're
locked in a cycle where you can only take a
certain job. It's hard to move up upwardly because you
don't have the necessary opportunities there for education or training
or whatever, and then you get stuck in this cycle. Meanwhile,

(31:29):
let's not forget the people that are protesting are the
like older white people who just want their servers to
come back and be served. Uh, and also the billionaire class.
It's like, I need my wage slaves to go back
to work because I'm seeing my my revenues go whip
and i have a lot of and I'm used to
getting billions of dollars every year, and this is that's

(31:50):
what we're Yeah, whatever, this is what this is constant.
This is what it's always going to be until we
actually begin solving this kind of issue. Alright, because let's talk.
Let's talk about the culture that we can woomed before
our second break. I can just run through Sleepless real quick.
A movie that I went into thinking was a Netflix original.

(32:10):
It was a movie that came out in ten directed
by the person who directed and created that German show
dark that's on Netflix that I've talked about before. That's
pretty cool and it's like Donnie Darko but uh series
and like somewhat smart. But anyways, this movie will make

(32:32):
you like that show less because it's just kind of
a dumb action movie. It's like Taken if Liam Neeson
didn't have a particular set of skills and was below
average height. Uh, they keep like they are multiple times
when like it's clear that he's shorter than the people
around him, which makes me like Jamie Fox because uh, yeah,

(32:56):
he's not doing the Tom Cruise. But also if Liam
Neeson would lose his daughter in a crowded bar like that,
that is something that happens in this is that Jamie
Fox like rescues his son from the people holding him
a hostage and then they're like walking through a crowded
bar and he gets separated from his son just because

(33:17):
it's crowded, and then his son gets kidnapped. It's it's
amazing infuriate there, did he? I would love a reversely
of Niesen's speech from Jamie Fox, like, Hi, I don't
have a particular I have like a generalized set of
skills that most people have. But yeah, it's interesting because

(33:40):
it's like he's a badass cop type movie, but like
people keep sneaking up on him at like when his
car is like stopped at a traffic light, or he
like doesn't notice when he's being like conspicuously tailed by someone.
Like it's all the stuff that you expect from an
action hero cop, Like he just doesn't it do. And

(34:01):
then it ends with him in a hospital saying I'm
a good cop to this other like woman who is
like a good cop, and she's like, I know, but
it's like not convincing um and credits Jamie Fox. I
do love like he He has some very charming moments.

(34:21):
There's a part where he stabs a bad guy in
the neck with one of those champagne bottles with the
sparkler in it. Uh, the people at the nightclub. Yeah,
at the nightclub, which is pretty dope. Does that how
does that mechanically work? He breaks the bottom of the thing,
he broke the bottle off. Yeah, but like doesn't bother

(34:42):
putting the sparkler out. I thought he just snagged the
bottle from the bottle. It's just as the sparkler goes out,
you see the life draining from the bad guy's face.
So like that's kind of dope. Yeah, it's a good
it's a good visual. And also Scoot McNairy is in

(35:03):
it as like a real bad bad guy and he
has he gives a good performance. I like Jamie Fox.
I give it two thumbs up. Also, a very confusing
prequel to Sleepless in Seattle. I was I think it's
like one of those movies that it takes place in

(35:23):
the same universe, but it's just more of like an
anthology series. Yeah, just to believe. Yeah, they don't explain
why it's called sleepless. Like the movie takes place during
the course of one night, but it doesn't like go
deep into the night. It's like a couple hours. But
it's not a particularly late night by Vegas standards. It's

(35:44):
just like anyways, five stars, great movie. Maybe there was
like a whole storyline about how he's having like sleep
issues and they just had to cut it for time.
You know, maybe it's like having like stress sleep problems
or like hormone problems. We can't get him I can't
sleep before my period, you know, like they might have
just cut that. Yeah. Yeah, I mean he does like

(36:07):
put himself under unnecessary stress. It turns out so at
first you think he's a crooked cop that it turns
out he's been undercover as a crooked cop. But he
had to pretend to be a crooked cop, even to
his wife and son, to the point that their marriage
is falling apart. But like it's not clear why, like

(36:27):
for who was he doing right? Yeah, like shitty Cerpco
or Donnie Brasco. Except he like his wife is not
going to rap him out, like and like she's like, meanwhile,
like moved on to another guy, And he's like, no,
funk that you can't move on to another guy because

(36:47):
I'm still your husband. I'm just undercover as somebody who's
a shitty, toxic husband. Uh. Anyways, glad I wasn't fourteen
when this movie came up. I'm undercover as a shitty boyfriend.
That's right, all right, all right, let's take a break

(37:09):
and then when we come back, the Shrek Musical and
the Wrong Missy and we're back, and Miles, you watched
the Shrek Musical. This is not just like some fan

(37:33):
video that they took from the crowd. This is the
Netflix full It's a whole as Broadway fucking production. It's impressive,
isn't it. Now? Mind you remember what I said last week.
I said I hate musicals. I don't like them. I mean,
like fine, like a musicals musical. But but then I

(37:55):
saw her face. Now, uh do no, famously, they do
not have all star will get to that my first
I just want to say, up top actually of quite
pleasurable experience. It's not like in terms of like, it's
not like I was. I wasn't. I wasn't moved, you know, emotionally.

(38:17):
But I also wasn't hating what I saw because I
think I realized what the sweet spot is for me
with musicals when they're too like like actual legitimate like
Chicago or some ship or rent. I'm like, I don't know,
like this, there's like some real ship going on here Shrek.
I'm like, great, full this little Shrek aass ogre got
kicked out by his parents and has to figure it
out on his own, ends up in the swamp, meets

(38:39):
some homies. Great, there's fart jokes, there's there's yeah the
far there's like fart solos. I was like, I was like,
kind of Lavin's great, why is he kicked out by
his parents? It was I think, like a remnant from
the original story where the guy was pitching at your
dream works. He had a few different like origin stories

(38:59):
that they could kick off Shrek with, like whether his
parents were fighting about kicking him out or whatever. But
I think it's just sort of meant to say, like
this is a person who already feels ostracized, because that's
sort of like thematically the through line, because by the
end it's completely about self acceptance. His parents, No, they're
now his parents are very shreks. Yeah. Now, I will
say I was disappointed, like most people with the absence

(39:22):
of All Star, but they do make up for it
with I'm a Believer arousing number at the very end
where they even change the audio so it sounds like
you're hearing like like a real show, like they switched
from the production mics to like some p A stuff.
Enjoyed that. Uh, but the smash mouth thing, everyone's like,
what's going on now? Most people maybe suspect that it
was because like a rights issue, but JM did a

(39:43):
little research and found that you can get a smash
mouth to perform at your private event for Oh, so
they I wonder what it was. Then that's very weird
I've heard. I mean because we've heard like the lead
singers kind of a dick. So I wonder if like
maybe something's happened in like them wanting way more money
than they're like. Uh, because this musical was also yeah,

(40:04):
it was made during the it was like during a recession.
It came out, so this production lost a million dollars
even doing it. Now, I want to tell you, people
who like musicals, I'm assuming I was really I'm really
sleeping on production. Okay, I didn't realize how good it
can be. Now, if you have some musicals with amazing
set changes, please tell me, because that was of the

(40:25):
moments I found myself being like, yeah, I'm stupid for
like just blanket hating on musicals because it is a
production and there is a moment where the mask goes
into like DVD features and seamlessly turns into Princess Fiona
as a teenager on stage with some screen. I was
like yes, and I was high being like no, I
rewound that ship to try and figure out what the

(40:47):
funk happened. Renumber where she's like singing in the tower
and then she goes around and like the age progression
happens with new actresses and the person who plays far
quad Um, I'm pretty sure he did that whole show
on his knees legend legend, yes, on his knees to
be the they have a very tall man get on
his knees instead of a nice fun prosthetic costume that

(41:10):
like goes from his hip to like his knee. That
looks like the whole leg his cape. Like obscure is
the fact that he's actually on his knees. So this
dude was doing full choreography. He's going to fall out
on his knees. Isn't that problematic to have a small
person played by somebody on their knees? Well, No, I
think they're just meaning to say, like far quad his
character was just shortened stature rather than saying like he

(41:31):
may have been like have any sort of like medically
was short just because you know his characters like this,
like short dude with a big head. He was just
like just where cocky and secure. Um he was nominated
for a Tony for that too. I mean, yeah, he
did a very good job. I can see I can
see people being like, oh, that's not I don't know.

(41:53):
I'm not the authority, but I thought I wouldn't. If
it is tasteless, please tell me, because I didn't think
it was meant to look like to say, oh, we're
making fun of somebody, rather than like far Quad is
meant to be smaller than everyone else, this person. This
is how we're achieving that through the magic of Broadway.
But the context moment thinking of is the comic character Dwarf. Yeah,

(42:17):
d o r f. So it wasn't probably yeah, probably cool,
But like so Fiona, right, she's a human and then
at night she turns to ogre How does she get
in and out of that makeup? So fun quick. There's
really good behind the scenes video, like all the behind
the scenes videos for I don't remember exactly how it's done,
but there is like a process video shown it's it's

(42:39):
and it's sucking. Sutton Foster. She rocks. She's so good. Yeah,
I'll just say I light a candle with her face
on it every night. I mean she is, Oh how
will be thy name? Sutton Foster? She could do no wrong?
What is she from? Like, I'm ignorant to the majesty
of Sutton Foster. Well she So she was Milly in
Thoroughly Modern Milk. I believe the original Millie. So she

(43:02):
originated the role. Um, and then she was in Anything
Goes and wanted Tony for that revival. Um. And then
on television she is on a show called Younger Is
on TV Land, which seventh season or something. Um. But
she's just a Broadway queen and she's just iconic. And
I saw her an into the woods at the Hollywood
Bowl last time or r I p Hollywood Bowl. Um.

(43:24):
But she's just an incredible Broadway performer. She's just makes
sense because yeah, yeah, I realized how ignorant was too,
because like some person would just come on stage the
first time, they're like, yes, yes, I'm like, who the
fuck is Brian Darcy and Sutton Foster are like to
Broadway legends and It's so wild to me that they
agreed to be shreks. They must have made so much
money doing this show, because it must I can't imagine

(43:47):
that's an easy sell to be, Like, Okay, Queen of Broadway,
we're gonna put you in five hundred pounds of makeup
every night for a year. But she kills it. It's interesting.
Jam put together some reviews that people were talking about
early on and there's like, you know, some people were
saying like that it had this like clear gay pride subtext.
I'm like, fam, you're at a musical, you know what
I mean, Like you're you're in the community already, Like

(44:10):
don't like people are singing and dancing and getting free
if that bothers you because they're trying to have them
I think in the context because I said at the
end it's like let your freak flag fly. Well, I'm sorry,
Pinocchio has got a wooden nose. Bro he's trying to
embrace that. Yeah. Although the there was like a weird
trans transphobic joke in the opening number where the big

(44:31):
bad wolf in the granny costumes like they tore my
granny dress. Now I'm a tranny mess. I was like,
which I was, which I'm happy to report has been
removed from all subsequent productions. Look and yeah, that that's
an upsetting joke to have made. And that was like
a low key in the movie as well, if I

(44:52):
if I'm remembering correctly, there was like a transphobic joke
in the original Truck movie. But then audiences didn't like
it and in all their regional because I've seen this
show live, I think like seven times, I've never seen this.
I've never seen this line perform live, so they wow.
And again I think what may have been pleasurable for me,

(45:13):
even though I'm not I'm not really convinced by musicals
or whatever, but I think what was nice about this
is like there was there were technical things that I
really appreciated. I like the humor in like the lightheartedness,
and it's like it's not it's not gonna bend your
mind too much as you watch it. And also I
think the feeling of like hearing an audience and stuff
and seeing a stage performance like felt a little bit

(45:34):
more additive than watching like a straight up film on TV.
Was that a concern you had going in was was
that it was going to bend your mind too much
because because it's just weird. No, because I check out
the music musicals and people like, oh my god, the
police officers shot my son. Why why did my son

(45:55):
get in the street, And I'm like, no, bro, I
can't pivot like that. I can't pivot a song. So
when you keep it light and light and fronty for me,
easier for me to invest What was your favorite song?
Because I made my list? Really okay, I made my
list of my top ten favorite song. I like ranks

(46:16):
them all. But I'm not a fan like you, so
I can't calm out. I love the fart sequence because
it was fun for young and old alike. But then
when they both are doing their ogre song, when he
doesn't realize Fiona's an ogre and they're both just kind
of like lamenting their ogreness, I like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes,
yes the actor who I thank you, Jamie for being

(46:38):
able to articulate me. You're like a musical stand who knew. Yeah,
I used to write, I wrote. I wrote about it
quite a bit back in the day when I was
working at the Globe, like five years ago. I saw
a production of it like five different times. And it
was genuinely very good. You wrote about the fact that
you had seen Shrek the Musical five times for the
Boston Globe. It was for their Way. Shockingly, it was

(47:01):
web only, but yes, I did. You are a legend,
but there it's good. My favorite one is build a
Wall that you know, the one that kind of sounds
like a bon Jovi song but Shrek singing about how
he's never going to leave his swamp again. I love
that ship. I mean, my favorite thing is when I

(47:21):
just try to pull up your article, Jamie and I
go Jamie loft a Shrek and the results are so yeah,
why this comedian is selling Shrek nudes? Shrek the Musical
is an assault on privilege? Is that is that you? Yeah?
I just love what comes up when I searched later

(47:43):
that the Shrek humor wave is fully over. But it
was fun and I was there. I think you'll be
able to tell your kids. And all right, guys, let's
talk about the wrong Missy Jamie Jackie, you guys both
watched it. It is the It has been like at

(48:05):
various points the number one movie in American Netflix. Uh,
the the the uh, the Adam Sandler Netflix deal is
truly unkillable, Like it's like always, always, always number one. Well, Jackie,
I want you to go first because you have like
behind the scenes knowledge of this film that I'm not

(48:28):
privy too. Yeah, sort of. I mean basically last year
was a really wild year for me. Um. At the
beginning of the year, I was married and my whole
marriage like fell apart, and so I was like, I'm
getting a divorce. I was like, really sad, and this
is why. Why While Lauren lap Kiss was shooting this
movie in Hawaii and she was like, why don't you

(48:50):
come visit me? You know, I have this nice hotel room.
You know, Um, you've seen the movie. That movie very
well could have been shot in Santa Monica. But because
it's Netflix and Adam Sandler, they were like, let's go
to the fourth season, sony. So you know, so I
So I went. So I was just I wasn't on set,
but I was there visiting while Lauren was shooting UM

(49:10):
and like, so I did like hang out with the
cast and like I went to Nobu with David Spade
and yeah, we had we we had a lovely dinner.
A few nights in a row, I had dinner with
him a few nights in a row, and like, you know,
me and Deuce Bigelow were at Nobuo. We were talking
climate change over at a mom May, Like I had

(49:33):
some really fun experiences and basically I just saw, like
you know, if y'all have followed Lauren Labkas's career as
a comedian, like she's always been like low key killing it,
like guest starring and doing cartoons and whatever. But it
was just really great as a friend to see my
friend be number two on the call sheet and like

(49:53):
kill it and just be the like the the titular
star of this big movie. And she worked her butt
off as you can see if you've seen the movie,
like stunt wise, they put her in everybody of water
there and they threw off a cliff she had to
dive into you know, sharks and sand and dirt, and
just so many scenes of her emerging from bodies of

(50:15):
water with her makeup s Like she really worked her
butt off over this movie, and um, it was just
really awesome to see like a woman and also just
a very deserving talented person kill it and just come
in guns blazing in terms of a performance and just
how hard she worked. Um, I think all of that

(50:36):
really showed in the movie. So that was awesome. But yeah,
I was there any Yes, I got to be there
sort of. I wasn't on set, but I was there
the day they shot um the scene where she's on
the boat and she's covered in chum and has to
throw up, and they really covered her. They covered her
in real fish cuts. That was not a problem. Yeah,

(51:00):
So and she had to run up and down screaming
on a deck literally like five times. Lauren Lapkis is
the reason to watch this movie. Like she is firing
on all cylinders. It's cool to see her in a
starring role, Like, yeah, she Like everything I loved about
this movie was things that she was doing. And I

(51:22):
saw Lauren Lapkis at her Fresh Faces Characters workshop at
Just for Laughs like twelve years ago. She and she's
just been crushing it ever since. She's so so funny.
I wanted that she finally has a movie. Yeah, I
want her to have more movies written by different people.

(51:44):
You know, it sounds like so she does. She do
a lot of physical humor, where like a lot of
the comedian load is put on her to be like
you look stupid, You'll do this, you have to provide
physical and then man and then David Fade is standing there.
But it's like she does it so well. It's I

(52:06):
think that like she's doing everything that like she's really
good at. She's like a great like character actor, she's
great at like everything she sets up they set up
for her, she knocks out of the park. It's just
like the writing of the movie isn't done with the
kind of like self awareness that her comedy is. And
so like there's where you're I'm like, I so you

(52:29):
can try all you want, but you're not going to
get me to think that Laura Lambkis is dumb like im.
But what is the story? Because I just know what
he just someone is invited the wrong person, she's the
wrong missy. Well, I'm even having trouble like even putting
this into a formula film. And so we start from
a very believable place. Spad is hooking up with Molly Sims.

(52:54):
That's funny, all of them, well, all the love interests
in the movie are like five ten blonde the four women.
Yet I do appreciate the short king visibility in this
where it would be very easy for David Spade to
pull a Tom Cruise and not cast a tall woman
opposite him. But he does so confidently, and I appreciate that.

(53:16):
I agree, And they also were consistent across the board,
like I said, like Sarah Shock is five nine, Lauren
is five nine. They were like, let's go for it. Okay,
he has a type, right, and it's not really like
drawn attention to either. It just kind of is, which
is kind of true, like height dispairy, I don't know,
I'm five eleven, and like we need we need it,

(53:36):
we need it. Just help me understand. So he thinks
he's inviting Molly Sims somewhere. I actually, Jamie, I don't
know if you agree. I think they set that up well,
like believably that this could have happened the Yeah, the
texting part is like the actual setup for the movie does.
I wasn't expecting it to make sense, but it does

(53:56):
make sense, which I have like third in my phone
and I've like texted the wrong John multiple times. Yeah.
Like it's two women named Melissa Missy. Yeah. He goes
on a first date, like a blind date with the
Lauren character, and her name is Melissa, but she goes
by Missy. The date was a mess. And then he
meets another woman named Melissa at the airport. They have

(54:18):
a little exchange and then she sends him the contact,
and I guess he saves the contact and then he
just sends her a text, thinking it's the woman he
just met the airport, but it turns out to be
the girl he went on the bad one date with
and they have any change. Yes, and Melissa, So they
have an exchange and it gets pretty rapidly like wow,
this girl is pretty hot and heavy, you know, and

(54:40):
so he invites her on this retreat kind of um.
The Nick Schwartzen character encourages him to do so. I
thought that was really funny. Yeah, yeah, I thought he
was really good. Real Rob is in it. The guy
from Lost is in it. Who else is it? The Hurly? Yeah,
Urly has a moment um you need to and Romans

(55:01):
in any Hawaii movie for Roman Reigns is in it.
Oh um. Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie Sandler, who's a babe
and a half. Oh my gosh, she is hot to trot.
I never I had never seen her work, but she's
in it and she's really hot. Oh yeah, Oh she
plays the barricudo. Yeah, isn't that interest? Yeah? I was like, Damn,

(55:23):
who's that hot lady I've never seen before? So she
has Adam Sandler in it. No, he's with the furbies,
he's with the Yeah, he was with his furbies when
this happened. But he you know, he loves to invite
his friends to his party. So there's a lot of
Adam Sandler movie, you know, character staples like Rob Schneider,

(55:45):
like I said, is in it? Um. You know, he
likes to keep it in the fam. He keeps it close.
I love that they are, you know, because his movies
are generally, like the movies he's making for Netflix, are
not ones that I would like stop everything to watch.
But the fact that they're using that type of movie
to like spotlight a huge woman comedic talent who hasn't

(56:07):
gotten a spotlight to this point is cool. I'm is
Peter Dante in it? No, he's in every Adam Sandler
film like he's always like it In many ways, this
movie takes place twenty years ago, but yes, Vanilla Ice
is in it. At the at the end, Dante and

(56:30):
he should have been there. I want Adam Sandler to
meet some other writers, perhaps some female writers, because there's
just like, yeah, this this movie doesn't super understand consent,
the the way this movie falls on consent and multiple
points you're like, who are who wrote this? And then
you look it up you're like, oh, I see, I see,
I see. But it's never it's never the fault of

(56:52):
the performers. There's just certain story stuff that you're just
like that that could have used asking someone, but it's
fun movie. Well we exalt the queen Lauren Laptus on
this that would be worth that's definitely worth checking out
because everything I watched her in I'm like, I'm loving
because I think the last thing I saw was maybe
the between two ferns thing. And then if you haven't

(57:16):
seen her thing on Characters on Netflix, it's great boy,
if you want to be a if you're not, I mean,
I think if you're listening to podcasts, it's almost hard
to not know who Lauren Latkus is. But I need
if you need proof, check that out on Netflix. I
wish that show had continued because that, like first season
was all hitters. Like each episode. Paul Downs is a

(57:37):
comedic genius o. The Dr Brown episode of the Characters
is also super underrated, like it's all it's it was,
I don't it's so stupid, ar so hardcore. Doc Brown
has an episode of Characters. No, no, it is Dr

(57:58):
is Dr Brown. He runs the lyric i Perion, so
in some ways he helps pay our rent. I have
to personally just because while I was watching this movie,
I went to David Spades Wikipedia page, and I just
have to recommend to everyone the personal life section of
David Spades Wikipedia page. It is a fucking ride. It's

(58:18):
an it's a roller coaster. There's his assistant tried to
kill him, right, his assistant tried to kill him in
two thousand. Didn't realize that that's a wild paragraph, then
immediately told that story Noward Stern a few times it's wild.
So then immediately after the story about how his assistant
tried to kill him, there's just a sentence that says
in December two thou five, Spade donated a hundred thousand
dollars to the Police Department of Phoenix, which provided firearms

(58:41):
for the officers. So he also just like bought guns
for cops. Once you're just like, this is what a
wild ride? Truly, what a time to be alive. Hey,
militarize those local police departments. Spades on, Jackie, it has
been a pleasure having you on the dailies, Like guys,
where can people find you and follow you? Um? So,

(59:05):
because my name is Jackie Johnson, which I share with
a lot of people, some are which unfortunate. I don't
know if you've been seeing Jackie Johnson in the news lately,
because my Google alerts go crazy every day and it's
not me what happened. The defense attorney that let the
two men who shot a Moud are very off. Her
name is Jackie Johnson. She so I get a lot

(59:29):
of a lot of Google alerts, and I just want
to say I have no affiliation with that woman. Um
we just share a name. But anyway, that's yes. Suffice
to say my my social media's are all different, so
buckle up. But my Instagram is at Jackie Michelle Johnson
and my Twitter is at Jackie Underscore Michelle and that's

(59:51):
with one L sweetie. Um. And then my podcast, nash
Debut is a beauty podcast Jamie has been on. We
did a really fun episode where we Bechtel tested or
we we talked about movie montages. Um, makeovers in movies.
Some are problematic, some are not. And it was really fun.

to be in prison? Interesting question? Um. And then another
one is from at h XC underscore clam uh display
name I am Korean um and it's it's a picture,
so I'm gonna show everybody on the zoom what the
picture looks like, but basically eat. The tweet says I

(01:02:01):
missed doing this for two and a half uninterrupted hours
at parties and just this dude with mouth clothes, looking
forward and not speaking to anybody. So I think a
lot of people are now even like looking back at
the times they used to go out and being even
like sort of clear about it, being like, yeah, I
went out, but I didn't really go out. I just

(01:02:21):
physically went out a lot of introverts realizing who they
are right now. Social anxiety makes you feel alive, you know,
I don't know any kind of anxiety. Brooks otter Like tweeted,
Bob oden Kirk has been forty five since his twenties,
and he will continue to be forty five well into
his seventies. That's why we love them. True, accurate, accurate.

a rude boy. Um and Uzma tweeted personally, I think
Romeo and Juliet could have handled their situation better. Michael

on mild What is it gonna be today? What is it?
I mean tomorrow inevitably will be uh. The Last Dance review.
Michael's name was evoked during this episode by Jackie the

(01:03:53):
Last Yeah, we had the penultimate Dance and now we're
here for the actual last Dance. So I think, why
not do this track called twenty three by fortet Um.
It's from his I think first album, but it's just
like just a track. I was like, we grew up
loving I don't know it from nineteen years old, and
that makes me feel old. But this is distracts of

(01:04:13):
twenty three from the album pause. It's got some cool
breaks in there, It's got some nice little guitar picking.
You know, it's just some nice ambient stuff. Like is
it dedicated to Michael Jordan? I don't know. I'm inspired
by you never know. I mean the song has no lyrics,
so I mean, in your mind, if you wanted to
listen to it and imagine that Kieran also known as Quartet,

(01:04:36):
believed was envisioning Michael, then why not? But throwing a
Michael That's what I'm gonna do. That's what I'm gonna do.
