Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Tequila Suneist.
I just, courtesy a Johnny Davis, a Little Eagles short
show title from a few weeks back. I am Jack,
and that is Super Producer Becca Rama. Hello Ramas, what's
going on? Nothing much. Excited to talk trends. There's there's
(00:23):
some exciting trends. It is. It's earth within fire day.
Oh Yeah, you remember? Do you remember the September? I do,
I do remember that. Yeah, and everybody needs to leave
Demi alone, because he's not doing the video again this year.
Oh yeah, the video is so good. Videos were they escalated.
(00:50):
They escalating to a point of climax last year. So
just enjoy it. Go back. If you haven't watched the videos,
go back and watch um the videos by a demio.
Did you on the one of September? He did it
like seven years in row and they were so fun. anyways,
thank you for reminding me of that. Um, let's tell
(01:12):
the people it's trending, shall we? Trump's family is being
sued in New York. They basically would say, I mean
this is something we've talked about before, that their fortune
is built on lies. They would say. Their buildings and
apartments were bigger than they were. Um, I think there
was an allegation that evanka would say that they were,
(01:33):
the buildings were fuller than they were, that they had
more units checked out than they actually did at the time.
But bigger is a tough one because you can't you
can actually check that number. Like the apartments generally don't
change their size. So if you are claiming in a
like official financial document that your apartment is one size
(01:54):
and then you go and like people can physically check
the size of that, that's that's a one of those
I don't give a funk. What are you gonna do?
I could do anything I want. Type Wise, that you'll
need tell uh when you've build up an entire career
of lying. I also don't think he's losing any political
points for this, because it basically involves him stealing from
(02:16):
the rich the government, which, if my understanding of American
political calculus is correct, makes him cool as fuck in
the eyes of most people. So I don't I don't
know that this is helping. But if, if it can,
you know, put him in jail or something, I'm here
for that, or if it can take some of his
money away, that definitely makes him unhappy. So I'm I'm
(02:38):
here for it. Yeah, I'm here for the fall of trump,
but I definitely don't think in any sort of political
scheme this hurts him in any way. Like the people
who don't believe him still don't believe him, and the
people who are believers of him are like New York's
state is wrong in Fun New York state, you know.
So it's like it's I don't think it's added anything
(02:59):
to try discourse, but ault full conviction. Yeah, yeah, I'm
not sure why I'm even employing political calculus around someone
who is the leader of a death cult. It's actually
Um getting towards the point where the most likely outcome,
which I get like you, I don't know what physical
(03:20):
event other than death is going to stop trump from
running for president, and he is definitely going to continue
to ramp up the q ship. So it's just gonna
get scarier and scarier from here. Like, I didn't that
that one finger that see his speech he gave to
(03:40):
a sea of like people holding up one finger, with
dramatic classical music um swelling behind him. It really I
feel like we are now on a path towards like
a very dark timeline, like I don't I don't know
what can happen to keep us away for people dying
(04:01):
on some q ship. And absolutely read up on the
Taiping Rebellion, the Chinese civil war that happened around the
time of the US civil war. They Killed Twenty million people,
in which some guy claiming he was Jesus's brother Um
got the support of a huge class of people and yeah,
(04:23):
did not end well for anyone. Alright. Uh. Also, in
another cool system we have here news of Vladimir Putin
has like threatened to end the world. Basically, he's like
took took such an l in the mainstream media and
just in the international global media that he is. He
(04:46):
seems pretty pissed. He's said World War three, hold my beer,
the world. Yeah, I mean it's pretty I'm I'm gonna
Kubrick kick because of podcast I, like blank check, has
going through like Kubrick's filmography and so, you know, I
recently watched some doctor strange love. Um recently watched paths
(05:09):
of glory, which is like a World War One movie about,
you know, generals basically just trying to trying to get
bragging rights and trying to get my father's library TV. Yes, well, yeah,
I'm old as fun, by the way, but we I'm
just I've decided to steer into my old age and Um,
(05:33):
but World War One happened over a hundred years ago
and the lesson learned was that you can't have these
individuals having their egos at stake in a way that
could lead them to ending the world or having millions
and millions of innocent people killed. Um, and look, we're
(05:54):
back here. I mean, I don't know. He specifically said
I'm not bluffing. So I feel like, you know, the
thing that I would have said in my brain once
he said we have nuclear weapons too, if the US
wants to keep helping Um Ukraine out, and I would
(06:15):
have been like, he's just bluffing. And then his next
sentence I'm not bluffing. So Uh, scary shit. Yeah, Um,
but in this case, yeah, it's like he got embarrassed
because he did a war and the war didn't go
well and he thoroughly miscalculated and now he's like leaning
(06:38):
on his nuclear arsenal Um. It's it does feel like
a you know, a person with a dynamite vest on
being like stand back. Nobody nobody moved. Everybody laugh at
my jokes or else playing. Yeah, all right, let's get
to some serious news. Bread. It is launching a skincare line,
(07:03):
which has always been so I think this is a
fun story for the Internet. I think the people are
getting a lot of dunks off because he has always
succeeded as being an attractive person in spite of his skin,
you know. But he's still one of the most attractive
people in the world. So it gives us something where
(07:25):
we get to make fun of Brad Pitt's looks and
feel okay about that. It's so funny because it's like
Brad Pitt is definitely, you know, conventionally attractive. I feel
like the narrative lately has been like wow, look at
Brad Pitt, really owning his age, you know. So I
think it's very ironic for him to be launching a
skincare line as someone who definitely looks a little worn
(07:50):
by the industry and life and people being like, I'm
glad he's still, you know, strong out here in these movies,
still looking rugged but looking rough. So lay domain is
the name of the skin caroline, and apparently it's supposed
to be genderless, which, you know, I guess that's Nice,
but you know, in theory all skin care should be
(08:11):
generally because we all have skin, you know, like yeah,
but you know, I'm loving the Benjamin Button memes about it.
Otherwise it's a group category level expense price and that
for me it's not worth it. Oh Wow, we're gonna
goop with it, going Google. He literally says, I love
(08:32):
what Gwyneth Paltrow did with goop. Damn, now he's gonna
launch like a type of water to kind of compete
with his other acts. Anyways, UM, shout out to Brad Pitt,
you know, still trying to do it out here, Um,
all these years later. Let's say a quick break. We'll
(08:53):
be right back. And we're back, and actually I'M NOT
gonna put it at the end right now, the second
class of the next up program. Applications are live now
(09:13):
until September at twelve am P S t. So I
wouldn't leave it until September thirty, so you don't have
to know what time on September your application is due.
But it's a program launched by super producer on a
hose Ni a and you know, run by on AH
AND SUPER PRODUCER JOE L and a number of people
(09:34):
at I heart that tries to bring voices into the
podcasting space that are underrepresented, and the first class was
amazing and we're we're really excited for the second class.
So go to IHEART DOT com slash next up to apply.
That's IHEART DOT com slash next up. All right, Aaron judges, try,
(10:00):
is this something? Has Aaron Judge Fever taken over New
York City? Decca, you are in New York. I am
in New York, but on a technicality, I do not
watch or care for sports or have men in my
life that careacter sports. So do I know what's going on?
(10:22):
Absolutely not. Does my father probably know what's going on?
Absolutely have I asked him? No, but I feel grateful
that my partner does not like sports, except for soccer.
So Um, and I can leave him alone with that.
So I please educate me, Jack, I don't know what's
going on. Okay, so Aaron judge is a slugger for
(10:44):
the New York Yankees, who are a baseball team from
the city. Okay, Um, so he just hit his sixtieth
home run. That for a long time sixty was the record,
and then another Yankee, Roger May Aris, hit sixty one
and then there was like a long period where nobody
(11:06):
really came that close to those or I don't know,
maybe a couple of people gotten the high fifties, but
nobody broke it until the steroid era when people just
started breaking it. I guess not all the time, but Um,
Sammy Sosa hit more than sixty a few times. Mark
McGuire did it, I think more than once, and then
Barry Bonds at one season where he hit seventy two.
(11:29):
But now that they've supposedly gotten performance enhancing drugs out
of Major League Baseball, this is the first time somebody
has approached sixty. He is the first Yankee to hit
sixty since Babe Ruth and Roger Maris, and he just
hit his sixtieth and he has fourteen games left, so
(11:51):
it's pretty, pretty unprecedented. He's also leading the league in
batting average, which is I I didn't know. The thing
that I always knew about him was that he struck
out a lot, but apparently he's corrected that and now
he's leading the league in batting average. This is mainly
like I just found out about this because we were
looking to see what's trending this morning and it's notable
(12:15):
because when I was a kid this would have been
the biggest news story in the world for a month
like already. Like this one move so fast and it's
like just yeah, well, news moved so fast. And also
nobody cares about baseball anymore. This is like wild that
somebody is at sixty home runs with fourteen games left
(12:37):
and everyone's just like uh Huh um, and also that
he's a Yankee, which you know there's a bias towards
everybody loving the Yankees, and so I do have a
clarifying question. Is it sixty home runs in a season?
But that's like a record? Okay, because I did do
a little quick Google and because I used to go
to Astros Games when I was a kid. I'm from Houston.
(12:59):
My brother my dad are both big baseball and Astro's fans,
but you know, I don't live there anymore, so they
don't talk to my year off about sports anymore. But
I like Google. I was like Astro's top home and
Jeff Bagwell, which I do vividly remember being at a
Astro's game when he hit I think, like fifty home
(13:19):
runs in a season, but I was like over time.
It says he's hit foe home runs. I was like, Jack,
this doesn't sound very great, but now I don't understanding.
It's per season. That is impressive. Yeah, I think he
finished the Bagwell, had a career high forty seven home
runs in the two thousand season. Not something I know
(13:42):
by heart. I'm generally not a baseball fan. I am
going to try and get your dad's phone number after
we record this so I could just call him and
talk to him about old, old movies and basically would
love that. He loves those things, old movies, old books
and baseball. Yeah, but anyways, this there's more to me
as a sign of how far baseball has fallen off
(14:03):
since I was a kid. Not something that I'm like
super up in arms about, because I do think basketball
is the like. I feel like that's the main change
that has happened, as basketball is now the most popular
sport other than football in America, whereas it used to
be baseball. Um, and I think that is earned. Basketball
(14:24):
is amazing to watch. Check Out Myles and Jack got
my busties all right. Idris Elba is trending. This is
a new story that has a new story in which
really nothing has happened for five years, and yet it
not only does it keep like coming into the headlines,
but I am here for it every time. I'm like
(14:46):
we have a development. Yeah. So I think the one
development that I heard in the bond update is the
producers talked to somebody about doing an ongoing search for
the next bond Um and I am always interested in that,
and Idris Elba, who I think would be the best
pick for it. I think everybody who says that's not
(15:09):
the cases overthinking it. Um, but he now says he
doesn't he doesn't want to be bond. Yeah, he doesn't
want to be bond. I guess because, Um, the role
of bond is shifting. The producers of bond are like
new era of bond, which I think is a lot
of reason why people were like we need a black bond, obviously,
(15:30):
and like people love Idris Elba. I love Indris Elba,
like I think he'd be a great bond as well.
But Um, interest is like I don't want to be
if you're telling me to tend a twelve year commitment,
I'm not trying to like time myself to the bond
franchise for ten to twelve years, so which I guess
makes sense to me because Daniel Craig was bond for
so long. So to me it's not really a departure.
(15:52):
But I guess they're more being transparent about the level
of commitment bond is going to be now. Uh. So, Oh,
I guess the search goes on. I would say that
Daniel Craig was able to develop a somewhat legitimate acting
career in like in parallel to his bond, whereas like
(16:13):
Piers Brasman just put his career on hold to be
bond for like seven years and then when it was over,
like there wasn't I don't know that he got back
into being like our art in Artie movies. But like
it really felt like they were the protagonists of Amma Mia,
and that's what people don't know, right. Yeah, exactly. It's
(16:36):
so I do I don't know. I just I would
love to have it. They they've had old as people
as bond before. So like it just elbo could totally
pull it off for ten years. But I also understand
this is me pitching on behalf of the Jamie Bond Franchise. Um. Anyways,
I think that's what it would take. What I'm pitching
(16:56):
is what it would take for me to be interested
in watching another James Bond movie. Tom Hardy is another
name that had been thrown around that I think is
probably outside of their reach right now. They said he's
too short, you know. So he is a in addition
to being a fighter on screen, apparently does Jiu Jitsu
(17:18):
in real life. Um, and he did. He's done two
tournaments now and each time he has won the tournament. Crazy,
you thought I was an actor. Yeah, I have hobbies. Yeah,
the interviews with the competitors that he went up against
from these competitions are interesting because everyone's like, oh my God,
(17:40):
it was so cool, it was Tom Hardy and he
beat the ship out of me. Like there. You know,
I don't know if I'd be legitimate in those boxing matches,
you know, because it's like he's not promoting it, he's
just kind of like this is something I do and
on and off the fields he registers is Edward Hard
which I guess is the real name, and then like
(18:02):
comes in and then they still looks like Tom Hardy
and people are like it's Tom Hardy. Yeah, Oh okay.
So you're you're Tom Hardy, you're band, I'm fighting Bane.
Cool Um. Then I did see a video of one
of the fights and it really did make me appreciative
of action movies for never depicting a realistic fight ever,
(18:26):
because because it's so grewesome, didn't know. It's so boring.
Just like are like laying on top of each other
and isn't even a lot of wrestling, fake like for
the theatric of it, right, I've been to a couple
like perfect things. Yeah, that's for sure fake, real, but
that's what this looks like. This looks like real wrestling,
(18:48):
just in yes, yeah, that's what I mean. Like it's
like when you watch Wrestlemania, which is like a theatrical experience. It's, yeah,
like real, like Olympic wrestling. Is them just like trying
to grab each other's legs and like leaning on top
of each other. It's very it's more erotic than anything. Yeah, anyways,
shout out to Tom Hardy and all the people that
(19:09):
he leaned on until they were like, I don't like
this and tapped out, which is apparently how these competitions work.
All right, finally, you know, we we do have to
get the TIKTOK update from you whenever you come on.
You are our finger on the pulse of Tiktok and
(19:29):
you you brought up an interesting conspiracy that's been moving around. Yeah,
I don't know how I landed on specifically millennial, slash
Gen z white woman, Lesbian Tiktok, but that's where that's
where my algorithm is, Um. But in that there have
been two things. There's been a hole like jodocy wall,
thing that I cannot explain. Please go look at a video.
(19:52):
It's such a rabbit hole to get down. But the
second thing is truly the swifties believe that this midnight's album,
that Taylor's dropping October one, is a announcement of her lesbianism.
I am not a deep swift e. okay, like I
don't come for me. You know. I casually enjoy her.
(20:15):
You know I get people love it. I was here
for the u thirteen minute all too well. You know, Um,
that I loved it. I was there during the red
era as a young teen. I love old Taylor, New Taylor.
You know, not as much for me. Please do not
come for me, Um, but the Taylor swift like Tiktok,
(20:40):
has been going crazy, being like the colors and the
themes and like the way that she announced this and
like the way that her team is teasing this and
like they released this article and the Rolling Stone actually
notify or not notified. They noted about the lesbian queer
theory of Taylor swift and therefore her team would not
let rolling stone cover that if it weren't potentially true.
(21:03):
So it's been a spiral. It's been quite interesting. I
encourage you to look it up. I don't know if
I am a believer. I will be the first to
clap for the queer community. That really was like. I
know this in my heart of hearts, that Taylor swift
is a lesbian and this is the album that's going
to tell us. I salute you if you guys figured
(21:24):
it out, because you do some slew thing that I
could never do. It's entertaining to watch. I don't know
if I believe it. I can't wait to see if
you guys are true or are you guys, your your
theories are correct. I I'm excited. If anything, it's made
me more excited to see the album come out. I'm
not that excited about the music. I'm excited about the
queer theory to see if it's true. So I would
(21:47):
love to hear additional thoughts if you have any more research.
But it has been so crazy because they say, like
Diana Agron and Carlie class, like these relationships that used
to be so strong or no longer strong because the
ideas that they had a intimate relationship that was beyond
a friendship and they've broken up and therefore, like breakups,
you don't talk to your exes and that is why
(22:07):
they're not friends anymore, according to the Internet. But yeah,
they're saying the colors, the themes, the way that the
press has been rolling out, the the nitty gritty, that
this is going to be a a lesbian coming out album.
I'm curious. And then if it comes out and it's
not a coming out album, will will they just be like, oh,
(22:29):
it turns out she's just like a messy friend who like,
I don't know. That is also I want to hear
your thoughts, like what if you're wrong like this? What
if she doesn't come out? Are you? Are Y'all still believers?
Are you guys? Because, like, I watched some of these
videos and people are really digging like fine toothcomb in like,
you know the movie spaceballs, when they like, yeah, the
(22:50):
calms through the that is how I feel the queer community,
that our swifties are digging through the notes of her
past to, you know, reveal stuff for midnights, because, you know,
Taylor self loves Easter eggs, but this is like Easter
eggs beyond. Like people are like in the comments, like girl,
try again, like I hear you, I see you, I
(23:13):
love this what path that you've created for the Internet,
but I just do not believe you're gonna be I
think you're gonna be a little embarrassed when it doesn't
end up being a coming out album. And there's been
videos of people like because a lot of her lyrics,
which is where the queer theory kind of builds to
like they allude to certain events that people can tie those,
you know, women in her lives at based on social
(23:35):
media posts and things. But she'll be like at big sir,
kissing him and it will be like an aggressive like
it would make more sense if she said her but
she like cuts it to a hymn and it's like see,
she changed the lyrics because like she doesn't want to
come out yet, you know. So it's it's interesting, it's
it's fun to watch as someone who is just like
(23:56):
an enjoyer of pop culture, a connoisseur of Tiktok a,
you know, just delighted to be in the messy drama,
but not someone who is like a fan, you know,
like I'm not like have stakes in it, but it's
like popcorn, you know, fun to see people's little theories
come through. She is engaged, I believe right. So that's well,
and that's the other thing. It's like she she her boyfriend,
(24:19):
Joe Alwyn. You know, there's rumors that they're engaged. There's
rumors that there's been, you know, an alertment, but they
happened together like publicly for like a long time now,
like six years or something like that. So that is
also why I'm like, so, did the boyfriend just disappear,
because it seems like she's still very publicly in this relationship.
So I wonder if he's following these threads being like
(24:42):
Oh man, really on the edge of my seat over here. Truly,
the thing I love about him is that he is
so unassuming, like when either I can never remember his name.
I had to look it up before this recording. Every
time I look at him, I'm like, he just looks
like he's relatively famous. Like I'm like I couldn't tell
you anything he's been in. I couldn't tell you I've
seen him anywhere. He just looks like like an old
(25:03):
Hollywood social life, like you're like you have money, like
your parents clearly have money. You're like taking photos of places,
but like I could never say, like, Oh, you're a
famous movie star or like a TV star, or like
you have a look or whatever. He just looks like
an unassuming model, like, Oh, you look handsome and like
you don't do anything for a living because you are
(25:24):
rich and you have money, like kind of like Julio
Taures and Los of Spookies, except you know why, like
it's just, it's it's giving, just like I walk around
living my life because I don't have to have a
job because I just was born into money. That's how
I view him. Like a little prince charming. You're just
like you look. You look nice and I can't put
(25:46):
a finger on anything you've done, but you just look
like you are wealthy. He's in the favorite and to
your point, I don't remember which one? I'm looking at
a picture of him and I'm like, I don't remember
that at all. I'm like I truly could not like
pick him out of a lineup. I'm like yeah, he's
a blonde, blue eyed, handsome guy, British actor. Shout out
(26:06):
to that man, but I apologies to that man. I
do not know who that is. I do not know
that man. Well, Becca, thank you so much for joining us.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Tequila Suneist.
I just, courtesy a Johnny Davis, a Little Eagles short
show title from a few weeks back. I am Jack,
and that is Super Producer Becca Rama. Hello Ramas, what's
going on? Nothing much. Excited to talk trends. There's there's
(00:23):
some exciting trends. It is. It's earth within fire day.
Oh Yeah, you remember? Do you remember the September? I do,
I do remember that. Yeah, and everybody needs to leave
Demi alone, because he's not doing the video again this year.
Oh yeah, the video is so good. Videos were they escalated.
(00:50):
They escalating to a point of climax last year. So
just enjoy it. Go back. If you haven't watched the videos,
go back and watch um the videos by a demio.
Did you on the one of September? He did it
like seven years in row and they were so fun. anyways,
thank you for reminding me of that. Um, let's tell
(01:12):
the people it's trending, shall we? Trump's family is being
sued in New York. They basically would say, I mean
this is something we've talked about before, that their fortune
is built on lies. They would say. Their buildings and
apartments were bigger than they were. Um, I think there
was an allegation that evanka would say that they were,
(01:33):
the buildings were fuller than they were, that they had
more units checked out than they actually did at the time.
But bigger is a tough one because you can't you
can actually check that number. Like the apartments generally don't
change their size. So if you are claiming in a
like official financial document that your apartment is one size
(01:54):
and then you go and like people can physically check
the size of that, that's that's a one of those
I don't give a funk. What are you gonna do?
I could do anything I want. Type Wise, that you'll
need tell uh when you've build up an entire career
of lying. I also don't think he's losing any political
points for this, because it basically involves him stealing from
(02:16):
the rich the government, which, if my understanding of American
political calculus is correct, makes him cool as fuck in
the eyes of most people. So I don't I don't
know that this is helping. But if, if it can,
you know, put him in jail or something, I'm here
for that, or if it can take some of his
money away, that definitely makes him unhappy. So I'm I'm
(02:38):
here for it. Yeah, I'm here for the fall of trump,
but I definitely don't think in any sort of political
scheme this hurts him in any way. Like the people
who don't believe him still don't believe him, and the
people who are believers of him are like New York's
state is wrong in Fun New York state, you know.
So it's like it's I don't think it's added anything
(02:59):
to try discourse, but ault full conviction. Yeah, yeah, I'm
not sure why I'm even employing political calculus around someone
who is the leader of a death cult. It's actually
Um getting towards the point where the most likely outcome,
which I get like you, I don't know what physical
(03:20):
event other than death is going to stop trump from
running for president, and he is definitely going to continue
to ramp up the q ship. So it's just gonna
get scarier and scarier from here. Like, I didn't that
that one finger that see his speech he gave to
(03:40):
a sea of like people holding up one finger, with
dramatic classical music um swelling behind him. It really I
feel like we are now on a path towards like
a very dark timeline, like I don't I don't know
what can happen to keep us away for people dying
(04:01):
on some q ship. And absolutely read up on the
Taiping Rebellion, the Chinese civil war that happened around the
time of the US civil war. They Killed Twenty million people,
in which some guy claiming he was Jesus's brother Um
got the support of a huge class of people and yeah,
(04:23):
did not end well for anyone. Alright. Uh. Also, in
another cool system we have here news of Vladimir Putin
has like threatened to end the world. Basically, he's like
took took such an l in the mainstream media and
just in the international global media that he is. He
(04:46):
seems pretty pissed. He's said World War three, hold my beer,
the world. Yeah, I mean it's pretty I'm I'm gonna
Kubrick kick because of podcast I, like blank check, has
going through like Kubrick's filmography and so, you know, I
recently watched some doctor strange love. Um recently watched paths
(05:09):
of glory, which is like a World War One movie about,
you know, generals basically just trying to trying to get
bragging rights and trying to get my father's library TV. Yes, well, yeah,
I'm old as fun, by the way, but we I'm
just I've decided to steer into my old age and Um,
(05:33):
but World War One happened over a hundred years ago
and the lesson learned was that you can't have these
individuals having their egos at stake in a way that
could lead them to ending the world or having millions
and millions of innocent people killed. Um, and look, we're
(05:54):
back here. I mean, I don't know. He specifically said
I'm not bluffing. So I feel like, you know, the
thing that I would have said in my brain once
he said we have nuclear weapons too, if the US
wants to keep helping Um Ukraine out, and I would
(06:15):
have been like, he's just bluffing. And then his next
sentence I'm not bluffing. So Uh, scary shit. Yeah, Um,
but in this case, yeah, it's like he got embarrassed
because he did a war and the war didn't go
well and he thoroughly miscalculated and now he's like leaning
(06:38):
on his nuclear arsenal Um. It's it does feel like
a you know, a person with a dynamite vest on
being like stand back. Nobody nobody moved. Everybody laugh at
my jokes or else playing. Yeah, all right, let's get
to some serious news. Bread. It is launching a skincare line,
(07:03):
which has always been so I think this is a
fun story for the Internet. I think the people are
getting a lot of dunks off because he has always
succeeded as being an attractive person in spite of his skin,
you know. But he's still one of the most attractive
people in the world. So it gives us something where
(07:25):
we get to make fun of Brad Pitt's looks and
feel okay about that. It's so funny because it's like
Brad Pitt is definitely, you know, conventionally attractive. I feel
like the narrative lately has been like wow, look at
Brad Pitt, really owning his age, you know. So I
think it's very ironic for him to be launching a
skincare line as someone who definitely looks a little worn
(07:50):
by the industry and life and people being like, I'm
glad he's still, you know, strong out here in these movies,
still looking rugged but looking rough. So lay domain is
the name of the skin caroline, and apparently it's supposed
to be genderless, which, you know, I guess that's Nice,
but you know, in theory all skin care should be
(08:11):
generally because we all have skin, you know, like yeah,
but you know, I'm loving the Benjamin Button memes about it.
Otherwise it's a group category level expense price and that
for me it's not worth it. Oh Wow, we're gonna
goop with it, going Google. He literally says, I love
(08:32):
what Gwyneth Paltrow did with goop. Damn, now he's gonna
launch like a type of water to kind of compete
with his other acts. Anyways, UM, shout out to Brad Pitt,
you know, still trying to do it out here, Um,
all these years later. Let's say a quick break. We'll
(08:53):
be right back. And we're back, and actually I'M NOT
gonna put it at the end right now, the second
class of the next up program. Applications are live now
(09:13):
until September at twelve am P S t. So I
wouldn't leave it until September thirty, so you don't have
to know what time on September your application is due.
But it's a program launched by super producer on a
hose Ni a and you know, run by on AH
AND SUPER PRODUCER JOE L and a number of people
(09:34):
at I heart that tries to bring voices into the
podcasting space that are underrepresented, and the first class was
amazing and we're we're really excited for the second class.
So go to IHEART DOT com slash next up to apply.
That's IHEART DOT com slash next up. All right, Aaron judges, try,
(10:00):
is this something? Has Aaron Judge Fever taken over New
York City? Decca, you are in New York. I am
in New York, but on a technicality, I do not
watch or care for sports or have men in my
life that careacter sports. So do I know what's going on?
(10:22):
Absolutely not. Does my father probably know what's going on?
Absolutely have I asked him? No, but I feel grateful
that my partner does not like sports, except for soccer.
So Um, and I can leave him alone with that.
So I please educate me, Jack, I don't know what's
going on. Okay, so Aaron judge is a slugger for
(10:44):
the New York Yankees, who are a baseball team from
the city. Okay, Um, so he just hit his sixtieth
home run. That for a long time sixty was the record,
and then another Yankee, Roger May Aris, hit sixty one
and then there was like a long period where nobody
(11:06):
really came that close to those or I don't know,
maybe a couple of people gotten the high fifties, but
nobody broke it until the steroid era when people just
started breaking it. I guess not all the time, but Um,
Sammy Sosa hit more than sixty a few times. Mark
McGuire did it, I think more than once, and then
Barry Bonds at one season where he hit seventy two.
(11:29):
But now that they've supposedly gotten performance enhancing drugs out
of Major League Baseball, this is the first time somebody
has approached sixty. He is the first Yankee to hit
sixty since Babe Ruth and Roger Maris, and he just
hit his sixtieth and he has fourteen games left, so
(11:51):
it's pretty, pretty unprecedented. He's also leading the league in
batting average, which is I I didn't know. The thing
that I always knew about him was that he struck
out a lot, but apparently he's corrected that and now
he's leading the league in batting average. This is mainly
like I just found out about this because we were
looking to see what's trending this morning and it's notable
(12:15):
because when I was a kid this would have been
the biggest news story in the world for a month
like already. Like this one move so fast and it's
like just yeah, well, news moved so fast. And also
nobody cares about baseball anymore. This is like wild that
somebody is at sixty home runs with fourteen games left
(12:37):
and everyone's just like uh Huh um, and also that
he's a Yankee, which you know there's a bias towards
everybody loving the Yankees, and so I do have a
clarifying question. Is it sixty home runs in a season?
But that's like a record? Okay, because I did do
a little quick Google and because I used to go
to Astros Games when I was a kid. I'm from Houston.
(12:59):
My brother my dad are both big baseball and Astro's fans,
but you know, I don't live there anymore, so they
don't talk to my year off about sports anymore. But
I like Google. I was like Astro's top home and
Jeff Bagwell, which I do vividly remember being at a
Astro's game when he hit I think, like fifty home
(13:19):
runs in a season, but I was like over time.
It says he's hit foe home runs. I was like, Jack,
this doesn't sound very great, but now I don't understanding.
It's per season. That is impressive. Yeah, I think he
finished the Bagwell, had a career high forty seven home
runs in the two thousand season. Not something I know
(13:42):
by heart. I'm generally not a baseball fan. I am
going to try and get your dad's phone number after
we record this so I could just call him and
talk to him about old, old movies and basically would
love that. He loves those things, old movies, old books
and baseball. Yeah, but anyways, this there's more to me
as a sign of how far baseball has fallen off
(14:03):
since I was a kid. Not something that I'm like
super up in arms about, because I do think basketball
is the like. I feel like that's the main change
that has happened, as basketball is now the most popular
sport other than football in America, whereas it used to
be baseball. Um, and I think that is earned. Basketball
(14:24):
is amazing to watch. Check Out Myles and Jack got
my busties all right. Idris Elba is trending. This is
a new story that has a new story in which
really nothing has happened for five years, and yet it
not only does it keep like coming into the headlines,
but I am here for it every time. I'm like
(14:46):
we have a development. Yeah. So I think the one
development that I heard in the bond update is the
producers talked to somebody about doing an ongoing search for
the next bond Um and I am always interested in that,
and Idris Elba, who I think would be the best
pick for it. I think everybody who says that's not
(15:09):
the cases overthinking it. Um, but he now says he
doesn't he doesn't want to be bond. Yeah, he doesn't
want to be bond. I guess because, Um, the role
of bond is shifting. The producers of bond are like
new era of bond, which I think is a lot
of reason why people were like we need a black bond, obviously,
(15:30):
and like people love Idris Elba. I love Indris Elba,
like I think he'd be a great bond as well.
But Um, interest is like I don't want to be
if you're telling me to tend a twelve year commitment,
I'm not trying to like time myself to the bond
franchise for ten to twelve years, so which I guess
makes sense to me because Daniel Craig was bond for
so long. So to me it's not really a departure.
(15:52):
But I guess they're more being transparent about the level
of commitment bond is going to be now. Uh. So, Oh,
I guess the search goes on. I would say that
Daniel Craig was able to develop a somewhat legitimate acting
career in like in parallel to his bond, whereas like
(16:13):
Piers Brasman just put his career on hold to be
bond for like seven years and then when it was over,
like there wasn't I don't know that he got back
into being like our art in Artie movies. But like
it really felt like they were the protagonists of Amma Mia,
and that's what people don't know, right. Yeah, exactly. It's
(16:36):
so I do I don't know. I just I would
love to have it. They they've had old as people
as bond before. So like it just elbo could totally
pull it off for ten years. But I also understand
this is me pitching on behalf of the Jamie Bond Franchise. Um. Anyways,
I think that's what it would take. What I'm pitching
(16:56):
is what it would take for me to be interested
in watching another James Bond movie. Tom Hardy is another
name that had been thrown around that I think is
probably outside of their reach right now. They said he's
too short, you know. So he is a in addition
to being a fighter on screen, apparently does Jiu Jitsu
(17:18):
in real life. Um, and he did. He's done two
tournaments now and each time he has won the tournament. Crazy,
you thought I was an actor. Yeah, I have hobbies. Yeah,
the interviews with the competitors that he went up against
from these competitions are interesting because everyone's like, oh my God,
(17:40):
it was so cool, it was Tom Hardy and he
beat the ship out of me. Like there. You know,
I don't know if I'd be legitimate in those boxing matches,
you know, because it's like he's not promoting it, he's
just kind of like this is something I do and
on and off the fields he registers is Edward Hard
which I guess is the real name, and then like
(18:02):
comes in and then they still looks like Tom Hardy
and people are like it's Tom Hardy. Yeah, Oh okay.
So you're you're Tom Hardy, you're band, I'm fighting Bane.
Cool Um. Then I did see a video of one
of the fights and it really did make me appreciative
of action movies for never depicting a realistic fight ever,
(18:26):
because because it's so grewesome, didn't know. It's so boring.
Just like are like laying on top of each other
and isn't even a lot of wrestling, fake like for
the theatric of it, right, I've been to a couple
like perfect things. Yeah, that's for sure fake, real, but
that's what this looks like. This looks like real wrestling,
(18:48):
just in yes, yeah, that's what I mean. Like it's
like when you watch Wrestlemania, which is like a theatrical experience. It's, yeah,
like real, like Olympic wrestling. Is them just like trying
to grab each other's legs and like leaning on top
of each other. It's very it's more erotic than anything. Yeah, anyways,
shout out to Tom Hardy and all the people that
(19:09):
he leaned on until they were like, I don't like
this and tapped out, which is apparently how these competitions work.
All right, finally, you know, we we do have to
get the TIKTOK update from you whenever you come on.
You are our finger on the pulse of Tiktok and
(19:29):
you you brought up an interesting conspiracy that's been moving around. Yeah,
I don't know how I landed on specifically millennial, slash
Gen z white woman, Lesbian Tiktok, but that's where that's
where my algorithm is, Um. But in that there have
been two things. There's been a hole like jodocy wall,
thing that I cannot explain. Please go look at a video.
(19:52):
It's such a rabbit hole to get down. But the
second thing is truly the swifties believe that this midnight's album,
that Taylor's dropping October one, is a announcement of her lesbianism.
I am not a deep swift e. okay, like I
don't come for me. You know. I casually enjoy her.
(20:15):
You know I get people love it. I was here
for the u thirteen minute all too well. You know, Um,
that I loved it. I was there during the red
era as a young teen. I love old Taylor, New Taylor.
You know, not as much for me. Please do not
come for me, Um, but the Taylor swift like Tiktok,
(20:40):
has been going crazy, being like the colors and the
themes and like the way that she announced this and
like the way that her team is teasing this and
like they released this article and the Rolling Stone actually
notify or not notified. They noted about the lesbian queer
theory of Taylor swift and therefore her team would not
let rolling stone cover that if it weren't potentially true.
(21:03):
So it's been a spiral. It's been quite interesting. I
encourage you to look it up. I don't know if
I am a believer. I will be the first to
clap for the queer community. That really was like. I
know this in my heart of hearts, that Taylor swift
is a lesbian and this is the album that's going
to tell us. I salute you if you guys figured
(21:24):
it out, because you do some slew thing that I
could never do. It's entertaining to watch. I don't know
if I believe it. I can't wait to see if
you guys are true or are you guys, your your
theories are correct. I I'm excited. If anything, it's made
me more excited to see the album come out. I'm
not that excited about the music. I'm excited about the
queer theory to see if it's true. So I would
(21:47):
love to hear additional thoughts if you have any more research.
But it has been so crazy because they say, like
Diana Agron and Carlie class, like these relationships that used
to be so strong or no longer strong because the
ideas that they had a intimate relationship that was beyond
a friendship and they've broken up and therefore, like breakups,
you don't talk to your exes and that is why
(22:07):
they're not friends anymore, according to the Internet. But yeah,
they're saying the colors, the themes, the way that the
press has been rolling out, the the nitty gritty, that
this is going to be a a lesbian coming out album.
I'm curious. And then if it comes out and it's
not a coming out album, will will they just be like, oh,
(22:29):
it turns out she's just like a messy friend who like,
I don't know. That is also I want to hear
your thoughts, like what if you're wrong like this? What
if she doesn't come out? Are you? Are Y'all still believers?
Are you guys? Because, like, I watched some of these
videos and people are really digging like fine toothcomb in like,
you know the movie spaceballs, when they like, yeah, the
(22:50):
calms through the that is how I feel the queer community,
that our swifties are digging through the notes of her
past to, you know, reveal stuff for midnights, because, you know,
Taylor self loves Easter eggs, but this is like Easter
eggs beyond. Like people are like in the comments, like girl,
try again, like I hear you, I see you, I
(23:13):
love this what path that you've created for the Internet,
but I just do not believe you're gonna be I
think you're gonna be a little embarrassed when it doesn't
end up being a coming out album. And there's been
videos of people like because a lot of her lyrics,
which is where the queer theory kind of builds to
like they allude to certain events that people can tie those,
you know, women in her lives at based on social
(23:35):
media posts and things. But she'll be like at big sir,
kissing him and it will be like an aggressive like
it would make more sense if she said her but
she like cuts it to a hymn and it's like see,
she changed the lyrics because like she doesn't want to
come out yet, you know. So it's it's interesting, it's
it's fun to watch as someone who is just like
(23:56):
an enjoyer of pop culture, a connoisseur of Tiktok a,
you know, just delighted to be in the messy drama,
but not someone who is like a fan, you know,
like I'm not like have stakes in it, but it's
like popcorn, you know, fun to see people's little theories
come through. She is engaged, I believe right. So that's well,
and that's the other thing. It's like she she her boyfriend,
(24:19):
Joe Alwyn. You know, there's rumors that they're engaged. There's
rumors that there's been, you know, an alertment, but they
happened together like publicly for like a long time now,
like six years or something like that. So that is
also why I'm like, so, did the boyfriend just disappear,
because it seems like she's still very publicly in this relationship.
So I wonder if he's following these threads being like
(24:42):
Oh man, really on the edge of my seat over here. Truly,
the thing I love about him is that he is
so unassuming, like when either I can never remember his name.
I had to look it up before this recording. Every
time I look at him, I'm like, he just looks
like he's relatively famous. Like I'm like I couldn't tell
you anything he's been in. I couldn't tell you I've
seen him anywhere. He just looks like like an old
(25:03):
Hollywood social life, like you're like you have money, like
your parents clearly have money. You're like taking photos of places,
but like I could never say, like, Oh, you're a
famous movie star or like a TV star, or like
you have a look or whatever. He just looks like
an unassuming model, like, Oh, you look handsome and like
you don't do anything for a living because you are
(25:24):
rich and you have money, like kind of like Julio
Taures and Los of Spookies, except you know why, like
it's just, it's it's giving, just like I walk around
living my life because I don't have to have a
job because I just was born into money. That's how
I view him. Like a little prince charming. You're just
like you look. You look nice and I can't put
(25:46):
a finger on anything you've done, but you just look
like you are wealthy. He's in the favorite and to
your point, I don't remember which one? I'm looking at
a picture of him and I'm like, I don't remember
that at all. I'm like I truly could not like
pick him out of a lineup. I'm like yeah, he's
a blonde, blue eyed, handsome guy, British actor. Shout out
(26:06):
to that man, but I apologies to that man. I
do not know who that is. I do not know
that man. Well, Becca, thank you so much for joining us.
Where can people find you? Follow you all that good stuff?
You can find me and follow me at Beck's, B
