know what I mean, like I'll have one every now
and then.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you're still vaping and no.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Vaping, right, I never I've never vaped before. It's not
for me.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Oh that's so principal. And I love that. I love
that for you, not for me.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
But I do. When I did smoke, I smoked Parliament lights.
You guys look like you've never smoked before.

Speaker 1 (04:44):

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I've smoked.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I mean I still smoke light filter.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, up with them. They go down so easily. It's
just like it's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
That's what everyone in LA does. Snorts cocaine out, yes,
I never have, but.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Anil.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, they're like, well in the little cup, you put
the blow and then you just blow up right there
in the middle of the club, and then you think
you're smelling a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Guys, cocaine was crazy.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, remember that.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Remember what a time.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
On the show does it?

Speaker 1 (05:18):
It's just Ambia. I think in La I grew up
around so many drug users. Like also just in the industry,
there's so much. There's still a lot.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Of people well, which kind of blows my mind. But
I would say the other day, I was having like
a really nice dinner party and we invited this new
friend that's from out of town, and she came with
a bag of blow and we were all we looked
at her. It was like six pm. We looked at
her like she was a crazy person.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Like six pm dinner party. Blow sumptuous. All right, Tam,
We're thrilled to have you here. We're gonna get to
know you a little bit better. In a moment. First,
we were telling the listeners a couple of stories. We're
talking about today we're going Trump free Thursday's Trump Free Fridays.
I guess, yeah, last episode of the year. Although he

(06:04):
is the reason that cocaine keeps coming up on the show,
I think, yeah, probably just showing up profusely sweating and
ranting republic. But we're not going to talk about that.
We are going to talk about the first official interview
from the cold Play kiss Cam Lady hr Head. We
finally got her version of events. Okay, Barrie Weiss, you

(06:26):
fucked up. This is who you should have This is
who you should have interviewed and reveal, not Erica Kirk,
who has been giving that same interview on on.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Rote since the na.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
So we're going to talk about that interview. We're going
to talk about phone bands because they might actually work.
The New York schools band phones at the beginning of
the year, and we have a report from the ground
and the children are bored and doing dumb bullshit just
like children are supposed to do. And then we're gonna
ask what's the worst Christmas movie of all time? Because

(07:01):
there's no run Tomatoes list that has some theories all
of that plenty more, But firsthand, we do like to
ask our guest, what is something from your search history
that's revealing about who you are?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I actually watched porn last night, so I cleared my
search history after like an intelligent person.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Oh you do that? Wait, hold on. So your your
method is to erase any documentary.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Search history you never know? You want to start with
a clean slate.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, it's like it takes the shame away. No, I'm
just kidding. I'm not ashamed of it, but it's like
I don't want it popping up and like some on
my phone to look or auto fail you.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Jacking off mobiley?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Is that weird?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I just that was a line from a little Dicky
song or like porn on the phone. He's like, no,
I don't jack off mobiley.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I jack off mobiley. And it's hard because I have
to like get it to and up against a pillow
and it always falls over when I'm about to come,
so I have to move on to imagine, to.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
The back of your iPhone.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
So I have a clean, clean Google.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You have no idea?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Well, okay, what did you know what you search?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
You were going to ask.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
It was?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
It was gay porn like female grinding vaginas. I don't know.
Sometimes I'm into that just because like I'm gay. I'm
just kidding. I'm not gay, but I'm gay for that
kind of porn.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Sure where you fit it?

Speaker 3 (08:42):
All right? So scissoring scissoring is the perfect time, and
you could have turned that into you know, been like
wrapping gifts. But no, I like, oh, I'm bright.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I'm so blushing right now.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
God, even you're not.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I am looking and I'm wearing all red and.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Messing up the white balance. Yeah, the red based.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
On perspective, I think you're.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Not what what is something that you think is underrated?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Okay? Oh god, I like to floss my teeth and
then smell the tooth fluss.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Okay, wow, you're nasty.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
No, no, I'm not saying yours in particular. I've done
this too.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
You have right, and like you want to know what
that ship is?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
How long has been in there?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I'm coming in with a bang of disgust today. But
isn't it wonderful?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
God? It's called knowing. It's called knowing your own brand.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well, I mean it's like when you smell your own
farts real deep.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
You let me?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh yeah, I mean I went to the zoo the
other d and there was two monkeys like picking at
each other and then smelling whatever was coming out, and
it's like, that's the what I like to do. I
just wish we all admitted that we like it. That's
why I think it's underrated exactly.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Everyone has to know. You got to know your own brand.
You gotta know what it's like. Yes, and I think
with lossing two uh like yeah, because like stuff that's
been recessed in your gums, like that ship starts fucking
thinking pure rot.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah, it smells like old old person mouth or rotten vegetables. Yeah,
I'll smell on my own.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Old person mouth is like when you really go, you're like,
oh shit, that's that's old person mouth.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
That's where the old person mouth is. Just old old
person mouth comes from a lack of philosophy.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I guess to me, it smells like the zoo.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Damn different And that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
You know what, we should have a party, get together
and compare.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, I see who can like identify their own Oh
you know, I.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Could definitely identify my own. Please, you're like using your
tongue to see what's stuck right now?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I can ye, I'm like what I got to hear.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Sometimes my dad, my dad will barbecue and then afterwards
I'll bring out like a little cut full of tooth
floss and we all floss and it's like, oh, you
can almost create a pole steak out of what comes
out right.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah, but that is interesting, Like I did not I
assumed everybody was working with the same shit in there.
It's interesting that your smells like the zoo.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well, and when you say barbecue, this was an sal yeah,
which is like eighteen pounds of meat. But we recuperate
half a pound, quarter of a pound.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
This is what we're gonna have to do in the future, folks.
You know, once the environment totally dies, you're not gonna
let that shit go to waste.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
I don't know, but Boxberzer.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, that's like when my when I was young, and
I would tell my mom that I was thirsty, and
she'd be like, just swallow your saliva.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Y o.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Shipories otherwise guarantee.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, Sometimes before we record the show, if there's a
chance that there's gonna be video clips, I will like
wash my mouth out so that there's no like food
on my teeth. And the ship that comes out is
like a fucking diorama. Not I'm thinking of the wrong thing. Well,

(12:36):
it's like a point to list painting in my sink.
You know. Mosaic was the word I was looking for,
not diarrhama. That would be dope. If I could just
spit out a diorama shoe box shoebox with like a
particular mockingbird scene inside of it. Yeah, that's what I meant.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Christmas Village, Like.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
What the fuck? What we don't all have the same stuff?

Speaker 1 (13:01):
That was all right, let me smell it really quick though, Yeah, yeah,
yeah that's me.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
What is something cam that you think is overrated?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
The book Withering Heights? Had either of you read it?

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Probably I read that shit for school.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's so stupid. I just read it because I wanted
to get ready for the Horny Jacob Lordie movie that's
coming out soon. And I was like, what the fuck
is this? It's just like a book about people that
just die. They all die.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Everybody keep dying.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
They all keep dying. They're all schmucks. They're insufferable, and uh,
I like couldn't even finish it.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
No, Remember, it's just being like not much happens, right,
Like it's just like people. It is helpful into putting
you into the mindset of a time when it was like, damn,
these people are coming over. That's gonna be our month. Yes,
like that's you know, like somebody dropping by is like
the you're excited for the whole month.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
That's what it is. Except like the journey to walk
to the next house, which is like one mile away,
always kills the person. Either they make it and then
they die after one day of the visit, or they
just don't make it.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's like a slasher movie where the slasher is like
cholera or like scarlet fever.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Kind of cool.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Actually yeah, mister cholera.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, but yeah, this does seem to be the next
big horny that's coming our way.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, and it will be horny. I'm sure they'll change
things because also, sorry, you know, I went from smelling
floss and like talking about cocaine to this like boring
ass gothic novel. But yeah, yes, exactly. But they don't
even have sex. No one has sex in the book.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Oh, they don't like longingly like kiss each other. They
like die before they can fuck, right.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yes, so I'm like wait, so then so they it
looked like people were fucking on the trailer, that's what
they were just kissing. Deep.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I think that they're gonna do, you know, take some
creative liberties, because if not, then like what are what
like kiss on the cheek, right or like.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
The Emily Bronte stands is like Bronte Twitter gonna come
out and be like.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
What the fuck was that?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Man?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Why they fucking it?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh for sure, and they'll all probably hate me right
now after this.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, it's like the studios know what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Horny. The horniness is all in like the words like
I'm just reading from the opening of the plot in
eighteen oh one, mister Lockwood and the new tenant at
Thrushcross Grange.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Oh yeah, Oh that's.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Crush with your grange, crust.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
On your long pointy grange.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Oh, I can't wait to Lockwood with that guy.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
That's just where dicks shake each other's hands, like Carl
Schwartzenegger and Carl Weather. Yeah, what's Upwood's all right, yeah,
all right, I'm off to the Yorkshire moors. Yeah, so
we'll see. Yeah, but you didn't make it all. It
does feel like it's one of those things that's like, oh,

(16:13):
they were inventing novels, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, and it was some like depressed girl that never
left the house and that's kind of cool, you know, right. Also,
have me back after the movie comes out and let's rediscuss.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll probably go see it.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
So this is Emily Bronte's only novel, and then she died.
She was onto something with the thought, right, That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Is like everybody probably did die at the time, so
it's a very it's a realism.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Really, did you she like die of like like a
like a toothache or something like some like nineteenth century shit?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh, I hope.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Let's see Emily Bronte's death, her juvenilea, her adulthood, her
personality disorder. Damn they really Oh okay, she was tubercular.
Oh wow, classic. Oh that's ship. Yeah. She called once
a napkin, little spot of blood and then cut to gravestone.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
How beautiful.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah yeah, that is the prettiest way.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
To the sheekst Yeah yeah yeah, just a subtle cough
into your white nap gear.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You're pale, long black hair.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
I'll be a huckleberry. Isn't that what Doc Holliday dies
from the tombstone?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, that's that's cool. It's a good way to go.
That's the whole of diseases.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Don't worry because tuberculars so everyone can have their time.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
That's right. All right, let's take a quick break and
then we're going to check in with our good friend
what's her name, Christian Cabot Kristin Cabot from made famous
from one of our favorite news stories from this year,
the cold Play video We'll be right back and We're back.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
We're back.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
And I thought I thought it was an underrated detail
of the original Coldplay kiss Camp video that it was
the head of HR, you know, because everybody's else some
people who are the heads of Yeah, nobody likes the
CEO and everybody's like a CEO, fuck that. But also with.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
The head of HR, or she was the head of HR.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
I never knew the head of chief or.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Chief people person or something person, office, person, officer.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Okay, so the devil, I mean, we all know HR.
They're the worst person. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
So she's finally before everyone's just like gleaning what they
can from, you know, court documents or houses being sold
and like that sounds like they're filing for a divorce.
But she's like, I'm gonna let me give y'all some
detail about what we set.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
The record straight about how it looked from my point
of view.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
So one thing to start was that she like hit
it off with Andy Byron, the CEO. Pretty much like
the second she started working there.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
This is the new Withering Heights.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, where knows to nose deep breathing. So then so
apparently as they were working together, she comes to find
out that he as well, was going through a breakup
with their spouse. So that's when they're I think that's
when like the horny ears perked up and they said, oh, okay,

(19:37):
so we might we might have to let me find out.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay. So there was an instant spark and then it
worked for you know, they were both kind of available,
but not really exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
This is from so she spoke with The Independent and
The Times of London, spoke to a couple outlets.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
By the time of the concert, Cabit told The Times
of London that she had developed quote big happy crush.
But she told the New York Times, oh so, she
told She did an interview with the Times of Lennon
and the New York Times because you got to get
both sides of the Atlantic. She told The New York
Times that she kept her feelings in check because he
was her boss. At the concert, she said she had
a few high noons. The vodka Seltzer is well known collegers,

(20:14):
and the two started to act more like a couple.
It was, she said, the only time they kissed. Now,
oh shit, like they didn't even act.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
More like a couple. Is also such a fucking hr
ass euphemism. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah. How many times are you smashing in a motel?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
That body language like he was pressing his hard dick
against her butt?

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Oh sure, sure, sure, yeah was loving it. That's probably
why he ducked, because he didn't want to be upright
and let everybody know he was packing?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Was she she ran away over and then he ducked.
He's probably not stand up what I do when I
get a butter? Just doing a cannon assume handon ground?
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm good. Are you know I'm good? What's up? What?

Speaker 3 (21:05):
What?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
What do you need? What do you need? We were
just talking, dude, and yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
I'm still talking. I can still talk in here. Don't
worry about it.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
We can keep talking. Now you're being weird because you
don't want to talk about whatever we're talking about. Then
there's like they go into the next thing. Then so
quote immediately after being after the big screen cat cabin
and Byron embracing and quickly untangling, ducking and turning away.
Cabit said she she first thought of accidentally humiliating her
still husband, who was also at the concert. The concert, Yo,

(21:37):
that is that's that's the one on the hold on Christ.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
So you guys were separated but still going to the
same concert separately, which I guess can happen. But it
doesn't feel quite separated, Like it doesn't feel like they're
calling each other my ex quite yet.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
You know, it is so good.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I believe he was at that concert. Can you imagine
being that dude?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
He watched it live? Oh that's so good. I assume
he wasn't sitting with the group.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
No, that'd be so funny, just getting cuffed on the
side and he's like, I love you, Chris Martin. Should
it happen?

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Should I hop in there? Now that he crumbled away?
The fun out of here?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
And you get enough?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Man?

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Can I hop in? You got enough?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Go ahead, bro, I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I'm
also right back down, right back down, yell do your thing,
y'll do you think that's just so? I mean?

Speaker 5 (22:39):
I love how ship My fucking fucking that's right, My
fucking husband's also here.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Quote immediately after the big screen cot cabin and Byron embracing.
Oh that goes on quote then it beat later my
mind turns to, oh god, Andy's my effing boss. This
is a bad box.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
This is so h hr. That's hr people, this is
he's myfing boss. This is a bad look.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh my god, this person's an absolute idiot.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
I know. First of all, so they knew they were
at a concert, where like, did they not? Because that
they weren't the first couple that was shown like they were.
Their body language was such they were people who were
trying to get on the kiss cam.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Totally or it was just sort of like if you're
with your partner at a show, like you might be like,
hey let me, I'm finna grab you by the ways
and just kind of watch. And it felt like they
were just taking it in. I don't know if they
were trying to get on the game.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
When you go to like a Dodger game or something
and you know that like the camera's kind of near,
you see that shit coming, Yeah, the camera's not like tiny.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
This is a This is a type of This is
a genre of viral video of people getting caught on
the kiss cam with people they're not supposed to be
with and like shrinking away like that. This is not
This is probably her fault for being in HR and
being like no, no scrolling YouTube, me let the office.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
So this is like a summation of like one of
the articles, The Times of London article really had some
just real good quotes. So this is her talking about it. Okay, sorry,
Oh I was guessing a little to your fucking throat.
I'm sorry. Just like guys, I really believed in true
love and it was really shipping like some other shit

(24:27):
going on in my life. Yeah, she's like quote, we
were sitting in the back of the stadium at the
opposite end of the stage and the pitch black, just
feeling totally anonymous in an arena of fifty to sixty
thousand people. We were just dancing. I had a few
high noons. Andy was standing behind me and we were
dancing and I grabbed him. I didn't hear the announcement
that the JumboTron was coming, so suddenly I'm just seeing
us on screen.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah. No, we all saw that. Yeah, we all saw that.
That was the best part of the video was watching
you realize that it was in fact you on screen.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
It didn't happen to be standing behind you.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, And it was like back there somewhere heart dick
pressed against my butt and I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
We call it a hot dog in the bun when
he puts it, and we were just hot dogging it.
And then she said quote. My immediate reaction was, holy shit,
Andrew's here her husband's call. She's she's got a thing
for Andy's. Yeah, I'm sun. We were in the middle
of an incredibly and amazingly amicable separation. That is true
from I read a quote from the husband who was like, no,
we were pretty like chill chillly separated. I was worried

(25:30):
I would embarrass him. He's an amazing guy and does
not deserve that h a.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Word like or she was like, this is fucking humiliating,
and like the right thing to do in that situation
to be like, Okay, we can say that like we
were separated, because it doesn't make either of us look good.
If I'm like, I didn't know she she was fucking
her boss. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
So yeah, it's in there both interest.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, it's in everybody's best interest. So I'm just saying
the fact the fact that he's at the concert is.
I mean, it's not impossible that they were like you know,
separated and like on good terms and everything was cool
and he knew that she was like fucking around with
her boss. But like, I feel like it's a little
I don't know what he's there.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
I mean, he's there, sloppy. That's sloppy as that's sloppy
it is.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
I have to say. I went to see Argentina play
a couple of months ago, and I knew my arch
enemy would be there, but I was like, it's a
huge stadium of like rig Paul. Uh, yeah, he's my
arch enemy.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Who's your art? But you have an Argentine arch enemy.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah. They're a family that lives in the US that
took us in at the beginning. I don't want to
like take this off course, but there the whole family
hates my family, and they have a daughter who hates me,
and we're all the same age. We're blocked on every
social media that they're holy shit.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Okay, so y'all at the game.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
At the game social media, you get on there and
just block them. That's only block.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Them on LinkedIn that's how bad.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah, it's so cool that you're part of like a
hatfields of a coy thing.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I love, it's really cool. But I went to the
game and I'm like, shit, they're probably going to be here,
but it's like a twenty thousand person stadium. They were
sitting right next to us.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
No fucking way, right next.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
To us, right next to us?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
How did that?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
How how was that?

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Did you acknowledge each other?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
It was so uncomfortable. I've never had worst anxiety in
my entire life, and I was sober, so I couldn't
like go get a drink to calm myself down. Yeah,
it was the worst. But what I'm saying about this,
I'm not trying to hijack, is that like you think
a stadium is going to be so big, big enough,
but this shit happens.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah. Yes, my mind is always worst case, So like
that's why I'm thinking, you know, Like I'm always like
I'm like, oh, I'm about to run into this person
is also here.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
She was high. She was high on being hr better right, Yeah,
holier than thou.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
But I can manage everything. Yeah, we'll make this look fine.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Go on to say that, so right after quote cabin
and Byron rushed out of Gillette Stadium. As they started
to process what had happened. Thinking about what they should
do next, they agreed they needed to send a joint
emailed Astronomer's Board of directors in case the news got up.
They got a taxi back to where they had parked
their cars. It was still pretty silent, Cabot set of
the journey. All I could think of. All I could
think about was Andrew's going to kill me? And what

(28:21):
do we do about our jobs? Byron and Cabot drove
back to hers, more than an hour away in Ryan,
New Hampshire. During the drive, she received a text from
an old old friend who had been at the gig
but did not know she and Andrew were separated.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
It red, dude, Wow, what a great sex.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
With three US and three three US and three e's dude?

Speaker 3 (28:48):
How many ones? Just one?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
No, not even just a question mark, just a question
you U U D D D question mark.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I love that. During that ride, you know, there was
a moment when they said, well maybe no one saw.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
It, right, Yeah, well okay, so how many people were
at the concert? Like maybe sixty thousand? Fine, we can
we can control this, We're gonna get a letter out
to the board. We're just gonna say it was super innocent.
We were actually playing a game. It was like we
were doing role playing. It was actually a team building exercise.
And then but I do like at that point she

(29:23):
said that panic attacks were starting.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, at that point basically. So then this is where
they talk about. They said her husband texted her at
four in the morning and just sent a screenshot of
the video with the message quote, I think you should
know this is out there. I think like that to me,
does speak like it's like just so you know, ro
you about to get fucking steering on your internet.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Andrews won me over.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, Andrews, and I think Andrew's being chill. So then
Cabot wanted to tell her children, her daughter and sixteen
year old son before they heard it from anyone else.
Quote my daughter sin tears saying.

Speaker 5 (30:01):
I guess that means you really are getting divorced men,
While her son tried to reassure her that it would
quote probably go away, it did not.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
The video took on a life of its own, turn
to fodder for late and I talks Abu da da
da da da, and then She talks about how everyone's
LinkedIn accounts, their their social media accounts just got all
these cold Play lyric references, people fucking with them. Fake
Facebook accounts are set up in their names of their spouses,
and there she is. Now.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
She didn't need to dig this up. No, like it
was almost going away. Yeah she must have gotten paid.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Yeah, she got paid. There's been since the moment that
she turned her face away from that camera, journalists from
every outlet have been just hitting her up, being like,
you've got to tell your story. You've got to take
your story back. Yeah, you've got to tell your way,
and she does do that. This was one of my
favorite details that put her firmly in the HR person

(31:00):
I can't really identify with.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
She got.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
She got mad at Gwyneth Paltrow. She said that in July, Paltrow,
the founder and CEO of Goop, appeared in an astronomer
ad that poked fun at the kiss cam video, and
she told The Times of London that Paltrow, who popularized
the phrase conscious uncoupling when she split from Coldplay front
man Chris Martin, was acting like a hypocrite and she
decided to throw out all her goop products. Oh my bitch, she.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Threw her Yoni egg.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah. Oh. And then she also blames Chris Martin. She
said he played a role in creating the scandal. It
was disappointed that nobody from Coldplay had contacted her or
released a statement. Yeah, and you're just the world doesn't
completely revolve around you. It turns out.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, I once saw Chris Martin when he was in
the middle of being married to Gwyneth Paltrow at a
bar with a fan, miss actress, and they were like
holding hands.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh yeah, that's what conscious uncoupling.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, they were already means.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, I'm consciously checked the fuck out of my marriage.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
And I know I'm not even in denial.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
No, I'm off this. Come come very aware of it,
it said. Then she talks about just the ordeal after.
It was just such a terrible thing. I don't know
what to do. Apparently one of the like lines of
logic for her was she wanted to get out there
to show her kids, like, you can fuck up bad
and still and still like own it in Gwyneth and
blame everyone else for putting you on blast because you

(32:37):
were out here doing whatever the fuck you were doing,
and I think that's the thing. It's like, I think
the other story is apparent because Andrew Byron too, if
they were broken up, it's like it is what it is,
but doing the thing of like and Chris Martin's ass.
He should have apologized to me, like for what you
were at his concert. Like it's like he was like, hey,
why don't you come up here and kiss right now,

(32:58):
even though y'all are married to other people?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Right. It's great. I love the story. I love that
she came out and told her a story, and we
still get to hate the CEO guy. I can't I
can't wait for him to come out with his story
and be able to like put a positive or normal
face on it whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, So are they still a couple or what I
think the CEO is with his wife still? Oh god, wow,
they were? I just read the thing that he was
they were caught or they were photographed like together with
rings on.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
So I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
At least it should have worked out.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah, I know it didn't. Like they don't, she said
that like they do. They haven't really talked much since
that car ride back where the panic attacks started setting
in they were like, that's been plenty. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
It says yeah, they're like in September it said they
were still going strong.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Wife Strong.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
They were separated at the time, so I know, but
I think they got back. I don't know, dude, this
is that's where you're like, what's the story? Because then
did he just throw Christen Cabin under the bus to
his wife? He's like, dude, I'm so sorry, babe. Kristen
was off the high noons.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
She jumped into my arms and like start grinding her
butt against her she.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
May get a boner, dude. That's so fucked up, right, babe,
And I'm like, no, I don't want to have a
boner at the Cold Play show and she was like
You're gonna have one and I was like no, And
then Chris Martin like made us go on the screen.
Baby so fucked up and like I'm gonna stop vaping
and ship dude. I'll do whatever you want. Yeah, I
don't know. I don't know what. I don't know what.

(34:39):
Uh look, I'm all's well that ends well hopefully. Yeah,
But Christian Cabin, I think one of the other ones.
She's like, I've left my career entirely at this point,
and I'm like gonna figure it out, and you're like, dude,
no one's gonna fucking remember you like that, like where
you're like, I can't hire the Coldplay kiss cam lady, right,
that's like.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
The scent it's under her name in the resume.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
I mean, they're not gonna They're not gonna hire for
like being able to like communicate well or like handle
a scandal. You know, she's not gonna be on anyone's
scandal team.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
One time, one time, I cried at work and the
HR lady told me that it's frowned upon to cry
at work. That HR people flag you if you cry
at work.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
And just so you know, I'm not telling you this
because I'm flagging. I'm just I'm trying to help you
that we think you look the most crazy, right.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah, right, the most undercover. Yeah, like they really just
hold the line for the company. Oh yeah, yeah, it's
so fun. It's always done. You're like, no, man, like
we share take it like you like her.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
She's kisses.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Take one out of the jar on my desk.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
They had just laid off like thirty people. It's like, yeah,
I was.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Crying, Oh when I was working at Playboy while Playboy
was just disintegrating. Upon re entry the HR shout out
to this HR lady, because she's straight up was like, yeah,
I get the fuck out of here. I love that Buckley.
She's like it's ugly, and I was like, oh for real,
And she like hooked me up with like an insurance
coordinator all these other people like thank you, thank you,
thank you. She's like, get the fuck out.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Wow, get out, Okay, shout out to the good one.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
One in a thousand ye that I've encountered.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
There's one that I worked with that I was like,
why is she so happy today? And then it like
came out that there was a whole round of firings.
Oh she was doing them. Oh shit, she's like on
one today. What's going on? She's like so chatty and
ship yeah, And it was just like she was in
her fucking in her Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
She's usually just in her office ripping the wings off
of flies all day for real. Huh, that's crazy. He
thinks he can still fly. Watch this, watch this? Oh
where are you going?

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Oh shit, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
come right back. We'll talk about phone bands and the
worst Christmas movie of all Time. We'll be right back,

(37:10):
enter back, And the New York schools banned phones at
the beginning of the year. With their thing was like,
kids are on their phones in the classroom. We've got
to stop this ship. So they banned them. They gave
the kids a little pouches to put your phones in.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
That at the Comedy Mothership.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah, exactly at the Comedy Mothership. So now the teachers
can finally legal again for those.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Teachers and special ed teachers are like, finally, I'm about
to let you all know what you're like.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh no, no, no, no, I you know part of me.
I think a lot of people were like this. Teenagers
are smart, they'll find ways to get around this ship.
Like this ship isn't gonna work. But overall like the effects.
So the New York meg went back and like checked
in on the schools and it's I knew, it's kind
of crazy to hear like at one high school. So

(38:05):
so this is one example of like what I saw
would happened at one high school. An entrepreneurial senior bought
a pouch on locking magnet on Amazon and tried to
charge classmates a dollar per jail break.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
That was me. That was me as fuck.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
But generally they say there's quote a pleasant buzz in
the lunch room, chatter in the hallways, and an alphabet
of new analog hobbies popping up just about everywhere. They
have card games, board games, sports equipment. What One teacher
hands out volleyballs every lunch period and he says, he

(38:40):
hands up, listen to it gets weirder. It gets weirder,
he he said. The kids are playing this, he said,
it's no net, open open space, forming their own circles
of ten or twelve kids hitting it up to each other,
an equal number of girls and.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Boys, mostly boring ass. Hey, so we could just bump like.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
The sticks and ship. They're going back to the kid
hitting a hoop down the street, but with a stick.
I also love that they've been so on their phones.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
They're like, we ball, you know exactly.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
That's what I'm saying, Like, the kids could figure this
ship out if they wanted to. I don't think they
want to figure it out. I don't think like we're.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Hardline to just be playing with each other.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
Yeah, aid, I mean a ninth grader at Hunter College
High School. AIDEN mean, sorry, I was like, what Oh wow. Yeah,
is that is that weird? That hiding out as a
ninth grader at Hunter College In Hunter College High School
is in a friend group the congregates in the school
for foyer to stack okay, play tiles, and compete at

(39:45):
Sorry and other tabletop games during lunch. Quote. I'd say
it's made us closer. Honestly, half the people I'm playing
board games with I didn't know at all before this. Damn.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
I didn't realize how cooked these kids were.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Weren't playing board games at lunch.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
I know, but we don't have phones, so we were
just like talking to ship and like making fun of
each other like you did.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
But like they they'll discover that in the spring, they'll
discover talking shit and making fun. But like, it really
feels like they've like gone back. It really reminds me
of like the end of Wali, when like their devices
go down and they just like look around and they're like, huh,
like they wake up from like a forty year nap,
right right, right. There's a lot of gambling. It seems

(40:28):
like kids are like gambling with hair ties. It sounds
a lot like prison. They're they're like, yeah, they're playing poker.
Gambling for hair ties, and then there are side wagers
going on on the games, prop bets, prop bets on
the gambling, the poker game.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Y know, the teacher's gonna fall, You're gonna fog out
twenty on.

Speaker 3 (40:45):
I got Yeah, Yeah, that is that is so.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Wild because I do think about like how at my school,
like people like people had yo yos and ship right,
you know.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
How we went through a yoyo face and like my
friend and year of high school.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
We were backing. Yeah, you know, uh god, I mean
like it's it's heartening to hear that it's it was
pretty seamless, like where sudden it's like no phones are
like board game talk to friend.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, I'm shocked, I was at all.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Yeah, And the fact that they're like describing it as
like an alien thing, that there's a buzz in the
cafeteria when all the kids are there makes me like
realize that it was like dead silent before and like
that was actually something in our old uh our show
Miles and Jackot Matt Boostie is our old NBA show,
somebody was reporting that like now when you go into

(41:33):
NBA locker rooms at halftime, it's dead silent because everyone's
on their phones. Yeah, No, one's like talking to each other.
Everyone's just immediately goes to their phone to see what
people are saying about the first half. So like, yeah,
I guess it was like weird silent spring shit in there,
like before this in a way that I hadn't fully understood.

(41:56):
And now they're like, it's crazy. The kids are like
talking again.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah, just let me Yeah, And it makes you realize, like, yeah,
through evolution, like this is our normal mode of existence
is to collaborate, to communicate, to hang out, and then
like the glowing screen in our hands had everyone just
like looking down. But I feel like I'm fortunate to
be like a forty one year old who still has
a lot of those skills intact from like you know, yeah,

(42:23):
but the pre phone era or even like early phone
because phones weren't even smart enough for me to be
like on that shit all the time.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
No, same, I'm the same age. I had a pager, Yeah, right, exactly.
The pager was an absolute waste. Just what was the
point of that?

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, everything, but you got to put in like a
cool mint green case, you know, and make it customize it.
But I think I mean, like for me, like the
most like exhilarating shit was like passing notes and shit
writing a note and then someone being like, yo, did
you see this note that Kristen romeking And you're like,
you got it, and then you'd like reading it.

Speaker 5 (43:00):
People.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I remember people with xerox fucking notes in the library
custody and like mash distribute like a messy note and
they're like, yo, bro, they're not going to be friends anymore.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Oh I miss that. I like, that's so beautiful. They'll
never know what that is. The little notes that were
folded like Oregai.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yes, yes, I'm sure they're I mean they got to
be passive notes. That's a tailors hold.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
They're evolving back to that. They'll discover notes like next
school year.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Yeah, t I eighty two calculator games, you know, playing
Masia or whatever.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
But like I do, I've always admired in this generation
their ability to come up with creative shit to do
when board, Like we've talked about the people who made
chocolate chip cookies with the like hand grabber toys, like
you weren't allowed to touch any of the ingredients with
your actual hands. You had to like crack the egg
with a and like that. There's a I was talking

(43:53):
the other day about like kids who just like stood
there trying to throw a piece of fruit onto the
pointy tip of a light pole like for four hours,
and then they like got it. We're like ah, like
running around like they just scored the World Cup and
like I yeah, Like I feel like maybe by having

(44:13):
like had to exist on these phones for so long,
they've given themselves a new They can be like boredom artists,
where they like create great creative things to do out
of just complete boredom.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
A lot of those trick or a lot of those
trick shot things are just kind of like TikTok live
money grabs, because it'll be like a like a kid
trying to throw a quarter in the slot of a
piggy bank from like ten feet away, and like they're
just sitting there with like coins around, like hey, what's up?
I just keep going and they keep going and then
people cut those down like when they do it, like

(44:47):
but there's like thousands of people just tune in to
be like I don't know, dude, this guy's going a
ping pong lethal shooter. Yeah, have like fourteen pans.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
I understand it now.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Yeah, I watch my mom.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Well see I'm not on TikTok, but my mom is
a TikTok freak and I watched her make one yesterday
and I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
What was it up?

Speaker 2 (45:06):
It was like she had an all girls slumber party
this weekend and they made a human bicycle. I'm gonna
link you guys so you can share it. It's like
there was like ten women and they formed a human
bicycle and they like rode around.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
But it was just women's the wheels. It's just women's
bodies of the wheels.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Four of them were the wheels.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
We don't have to put this in the thing. But
what's her handles? So it's second was some in the
video and we could watch really Oh it's well.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
She posted it on Instagram too. It's a row yahia
or row Yeah. I think it's a.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Foxy roxy Yeah, Foxy roxy ye Okay. Is it everyone

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yeah? It was everyone wearing red.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Oh that's a oh my god, wait, wait.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
Oh my.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Sorry, we won't be.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Able to play this, but hold on, wait till you
see this part.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Where's the bicycle?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
I don't know. I think that one just went on
TikTok oh wow, wow, wow, Okay, that's my mom.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Guys, but having a good time.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
See yeah, have a great time. Those cute how they
turned a roll of paper towels into a trump.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
That's my favorite part of the video.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Yes, yeah, beautiful, beautiful, amazing. Well, good luck to you
young people rediscovering what it's like to actually be aware
of your existence. Yeah, hopefully, hopefully this starts a trend. Finally,
we just want to go out talking about Christmas movies.
There's a trend going around. I guess I'm MPRS. Pop
Culture Happy Hour debated the topic of the worst Christmas

(46:49):
movie of all time. They mentioned Jingle All the Way
Love Actually Scrooge, Scrooge and Marley.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Oh, oh, that's about Scrooge and Bob Mark.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
That sounds kind of tight.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
There's a a dog in it, no, or that's I
love Mars Marley and Me. Marley and Me.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Scrooge and Marley is a gay take on a Christmas
Carol set in modern day Chicago, co starring Bruce deville
Lanche as Fezi Wig, a character from What It Must be.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Oh, because there's the where the Marlee's or whatever hunt
Ebenezer Scrooge. I just know that from the mupp at
Christmas characters like we're Marlee and Marley anyway classic. I
think this is an interesting idea just to rank a
Christmas because to me, Christmas movies don't need to be
good and aren't supposed to be good, like it's its

(47:45):
own odd form of filmmaking. Yeah, as long as that's me,
they have to be cozy.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
As long as they're cozy, they're great.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah, it's I mean, yeah, jingle all the way fucking sucks.
I guess if you're like animal, like this story is dumb.
None of this is believable, but like if you just
want to hear him, go.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
I got the Dibleman doll and you know it's the old.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Time great great and Sindbad gets to be a postal
carrier with a bomb. Perfect.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
Yeah, I mean, like the one I hate the most
is this is controversial but like it's a wonderful life.
To me, is like an absolute depression.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Wow, we just I watched that for the first time
for the first time for this show, and that's what
an episode that's coming out in oh god, few days. Yeah,
do you hate me? Now?

Speaker 2 (48:33):
It's just like the black and white of it all.
It's like I need red.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
I saw the shitty colorized version I saw it was
so I remember by one of my first notes as
I was watching, I go, bro, this is so fucking dark.
This dude like beaten this kid like in one of
the first ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah is this Yeah, it's my husband's favorite, And I'm like, dude,
take this off the screen, like I wanted to kill myself.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Because like the torture porn is so intense until that
third act where they just like and it all worked
out beautifully, right, doesn't that a great release?

Speaker 3 (49:05):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (49:06):
You thought your neck was gonna get broken there for
a second.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
That cop tried to shoot you, man, Yeah, like multiple tons. Yeah.
I think if it's not delivering coziness the aesthetics of Christmas,
I think I think that's a problem.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Polar expresses bad.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Polar expresses bad. I think Polar express is a good one.
This is My son was briefly but ravenously obsessed with
trains and we watched it a lot during that period.
And the eyes are icy, like it just sends a
shiver through your soul.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yeah, Like the character's eyes.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Characters's eyes they roll over white when when they go
to drink their hot coco, their eyes roll over white
like a shark. No, it's just it's it's just off.
It was just that they were trying to do something
the technology wasn't capable of a real controversial one. Have

(50:10):
you guys seen Christmas with the Cranks with Tim Allen?
And so this is officially ranked on Rotten Tomatoes as
the worst Christmas movie with over twenty reviews. So you're
not counting your Cameron saying Christmas. I watched like the
first twenty minutes of it. I couldn't really get through it.

(50:33):
The but it is very popular, like it's beating elf
right now in HBO Max in terms of like Christmas
streaming movies, which is weird?

Speaker 2 (50:44):
It sucks and isn't it like doesn't it take place
in the summertime or there's some summer involved in the place.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
They want to go to, the they want to go
to the they want to go on a cruise.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Oh well that's why I hate it already. It's like
they don't want Also, Tim Allen sucks. I don't need
to be seeing anything with him in it.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah, not even the Santa Claus.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Yeah, even the Santa Claus.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Yeah, that's another one where I guess even now, like
I don't need I don't really like the movies with
Santa in it. No, it's weird. I want to see people.
I think it's really just because it's I just want
to see people in the cold during Christmas. It's really
it's got that. I'm like, yeah, this is cool. Yeah, fine,
you're doing it.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
I need like red balls everywhere and a little bit
of snow.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Yeah, that's it. Christmas with the Cranks being five percent
is pretty wild.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
I can't Yeah, I can't believe it's that they were
that out on that movie.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Is just Tim Allen right at that point, Jamie Lee
Curtis say't going to do shit with her career. It's
like what they write in that one, like should be
lucky if she ever gets nominated for an Academy Award
after this shit and Tim Allen.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
I did recently watch The Santa Claus with Tim Allen,
and like he is a third like the part where
you first meet him and he's just supposed to be
like a very divorced guy. He's thoroughly unlikable, Like he's
just like, he's like, what do you want? You want
me to cook for you? Yeah, your observational comedy is

(52:11):
like it's hard to be a single divorce to dad.
And it's just like, I don't know, man.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I just realized my father in law is in that movie.
Oh really, yeah he's he's yeah, he's sorry.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Yeah, I didn't mean to spill it like that.

Speaker 2 (52:26):
No, he plays one of Tim Allen's co workers.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Oh really.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
I mean it's not a claim to fame, but I
just it just hit my It could be watched it.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
So your father in law is Judge or Judge Reinhold.
He's a David Crumholtz.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
He's like coworker number two.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Oh okay, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
I like, oh yeah, I actually loved his work in that.
It's funny though too.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
When you look at like rotten tomatoes on the site,
it's like the critics fucking hate it. Right. It's like
a comedy so broad and barely Densit's targets and a
patronizing world conclusion that goes against everything it's protagonist originally
stood for. The exhausting like it's another one the exhausting
parade of white people's Christmas problems for only banality, blandness, whatever.
Then you get to audience ones. We watch this movie
every year. It's a Christmas vision, pretty funny, always enjoy

(53:15):
Tim Allen Christmas at the Kranks is a lowed, corny
holiday comedy and it embraces so absurdity. Like so people
that who aren't the critics are like, yeah, I don't know,
sucks shit, but I'm not.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
I'm not mad about it.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Like it's just because it's it's a texture. It's a
Christmas it's a texture.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Yes, Oh I love that.

Speaker 3 (53:31):
Yeah, there you go. A writer, Jam wanted to put
in a word for the worst Christmas movie being Santa
Claus the movie, which I didn't really it doesn't really
exist in like the way Christmas with the Cranks is
like for some people a holiday classic. This was like
a fifty million dollar production in the mid eighties. My god,

(53:52):
it was like, this is the definitive cinematic story of
Chris Kringle, and apparently it's just complete dog shit. I
want to watch that.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
That that's cool, like a Shindler's List about Santa's life.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
It's just it's this hero for starters. It's creepy. As fuck,
opening with Santa's origin story, which involves him and missus
Claus nearly freezing to death along with their reindeer before
being rescued by eerie elves who want to fulfill an
ancient prophecy.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
I'm watching this tonight, you guys.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Yeah, there's like a part where like a poor kid
goes to a McDonald's and just like looks in at
people eating McDonald's and they're like, God, McDonald's is so
fucking goosh.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
The end just a hobo Hamburger scene. Or Santa Claus
the movie, the movie Easy to Remember.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Damn me meat texting you guys tonight being.

Speaker 4 (54:45):
Like, wait, what was it called that Santa Claus movie?

of the season, just I want to send all my
love and gratitude to all the listeners, all the people

up year for me, but at the same time, it's
somehow been like one of the best, most life affirming

(56:49):
years for me after the fire, Like everybody's support was overwhelming,
and for doing a show where like you just talking
to a microphone, it really gave me the sense of
community that I didn't really realize. So for that, I'm
very grateful and that made it very easy for me
to be strong, you know, and get through this with
my family. And so I just want to say shout

enjoy h This was actually a track that producer Editor
Justin put it put me onto a couple of weeks ago,
but I didn't get a chance to shout it out
on the show unless someone did. Well did you ever do?

Speaker 3 (59:26):

Damn it easy?

Speaker 1 (59:30):
No, I like part of me as I was winding up,
I was like, and I think he probably I did that.
I couldn't. Don't worry myself because guess what, I got
other songs that I do listen to.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
I've got so many songs that you listen.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
There's so many fucking songs. Where is it?

Speaker 4 (59:46):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (59:47):
Yeah, there we go again?

Speaker 1 (59:49):
Oh No, I think I think I've done that in
the early years because that's the song that brings tears
to my eyes. This is the Vincent McCrae trio called
Living through a Lens Again, just more some jazzy shit. Okay,
just listen to it. It's this is this is the
this is the time of year for me. This is
like like nice jazz. It's kind of like my Christmas music.

(01:00:10):
So check this out. Honestly, take anything jazz, any Red Garland,
any Oscar Peterson, or this Vincent mccrazy. So, Miles, I'm
interested to hear what you'll describe Iced Tea like, because
I did a terrible job. I made it sound like
it was shiit, so, oh god, I.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
Don't know your description. Like here's a fucking song, Here's
a shitty song where a rapper sucks. I like it
so much.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Get this ship off my radio. Sway, No, I would
say Iced Tea is like a uh it's first of all,
it's the beat is fun. Is great because it's like cinematic.
But then on top of it, you get Project Pats
just Southern swag on it, and it just takes it
to another level. That's what I would probably say.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
And also fucking socks.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Anyway, it's twenty one Savage really phones it in. You're like, bro,
you really need to put the microphone down. But this
one jazz living through a lens Vincent maccatriel.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
All right, we will link off to that in the footnotes.
