twenty right now.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
But I don't have kids or anything.

she answers questions today.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
All right, and.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I'm actually kind of excited because all of the questions
have been inspired by headlines that I've.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Read this week.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Okay, yes, because the nineties are back my friends, are they?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yes?

And on Thursday, the one and only mcculay coulkin was
just interviewed on the Hot Ones I love.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
I Love that shows.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, man, and he revealed something very shocking about his
time filming Home Alone when he was only nine years old.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Okay, something new coming out?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
He was just randomly on Hot I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't know if it was Gemstones, maybe promoting.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
She's been around lately and his wife too, right because
I forgot her name, famous.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Friend of song.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Isn't it that they're really cute?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
So what did we learn?

Speaker 1 (01:42):
That's going to be your question today, And before you
answer it, I've got three hot sauces for you.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
I was so.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
She was reaching for hot sauces. I literally was looking.
I'm like, we'd get sued for stealing their bit. We
get mild ones.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
We could do.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Three different mustards. She could drive, it would please.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Although our salad today gets hal a Pino sauce on
it and it's not spicy to be Yes, things.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Are changing, Ye, he's growing up. Okay, so back to
the interview.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm going to give you three multiple choice options of
what we learned from his home alone filming time. Okay,
you just have to tell me which one was revealed?
Was it a His stunt double in the movie was
a thirty year old man named Larry. What was it by?
They had to launch a PSA campaign after children all
over the country tried to get left home from family vacations.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I could actually see that.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Or was it ce the Macaulay Culkin took the tarantula
home as a pet after filming and named it mister
fuzzy Pants.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Oh I like these all right, you know, I like
the idea of Larry, the.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Thirty two year old stompman.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
It was thirty thirty.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
I mean, I'm someone who people confuse as a child,
so maybe I could do that just smoking a cigarette aside,
like you guys, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I'm a nine year older. But I don't think that one.
The rantula, I mean, it's got to go somewhere. They're not.
I mean they could have borrowed it, but surely they
give it away.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I see, if it's already domesticated, him like keeping it,
but more so than kids trying to stay home alone.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
I see kids trying to board flights alone and like
go somewhere, you know, on their own vacation. That's what
was the second one though, Yes, but still I'm gonna
stick with the tarantula.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Oh I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
This is kind of a long audio clip of him
explaining it, but you're gonna love this story.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Hit it like, oh, hey, Larry, how you doing?

Speaker 5 (03:40):
And he goes, hey a good way, and he kind
of like looks at me and goes, how old do
you think are you? I go, that's a loaded question.
I know he's much old with him because I was nine,
so I was loaded thirteen much of him. And he goes,
I thought that was funny, so uh yeah, so he

(04:02):
I remember my favorite, like my memory of Larry. He's
climbing the shelf. He's climbing the shelf trying to reach
that thing on the top, and the whole shelf collapse.
He was vicious that first take. He was vicious. And
then they do it again and there's another take. It
just boom, and they didn't like the way everything fell.
And they do it again, and they do it again,
and they do it again. I'm going please take it

(04:22):
easier on Larry. He's only thirteen years old.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yes, it was that his stunt double was a thirty
year old bandy wild.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
He couldn't get a younger stunt double.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Nope, he was just really sure.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
What.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, it's like slapped a blonde wig on him and they're.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Like, you're I need to watch it now and I
need to look for this thirty year old na.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, there's a.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Scene where he says a beard.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
We're like, I never noticed it?

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, what a bald spot? Like starting to his head.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
He's running down the stairs. So funny. All right, next question, Yes,
he was on tour. Who that was your question? Oh kidding,
I'm I'm kidding.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Lady Gaga tour.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
We're talking about ninety stars, and of course it's.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Brandy and Monica exactly who I was gonna say, right
after Lady Gaga twenty seven years after their hit song
The Boy Is Mine. I don't know that I could

(05:28):
name many other Brandy and Monica.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, so I've never even heard of them in my life.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
It's the only one that they did together. Do you
know that song?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Well, they've made a whole.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Tour and it sounds a lot like a lot of
the songs play no offense.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
The album it was the Boy's Mine tour. God, what's happening?
And apparently the labels have been begging them to do
this tour since that song came out in nineteen ninety eight,
high demands, but it didn't work because of one thing
that happened during the MTV vm A rehearsals.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Alexis, can you tell me what happened? And guess what.
I'm going to give you another multiple.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Choice for you.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
We're making it easy today. Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Did they not go on tour because A they realized
they were both dating Usher at the same time. Was
it because B they got into a physical fight? Or
see Brandy wanted to bring her little brother ray J
on tour to film behind the scenes.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh yeah, he does well. Okay ray J with the camera.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's got to be a fight. One of my first
If it wasn't multiple choice, I was gonna say a
general argument, Okay, would they really not know that they're they?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
What?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
Fake friends?

Speaker 4 (06:41):
If you don't know who your friend is dating, like,
if you don't know your friend is dating Usher.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Like, Okay, you're not a real one.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
So I'm gonna go they got a physical fight, you
are correct.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, they actually threw hands.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Wow. And apparently Monica started it during their MTV vm
A dress rehearsals, and apparently there was blood.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh my, yeah, yeah, But they're over that now, they're
good friends. It's all good.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Sing you gotta happen.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
And then guess what else is back in the news?
Alexis sad?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Is the Titanic back in the news?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
The topic Okay, they're not making a sequel?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Is your son reading the books? Again?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
No, it's all back and it's it's in the headlines
because of the role Jack played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Do
you remember, of course Jack and Leonardo DiCaprio. I have
a sound clip from the brig.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
It was pitiful.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
You really got to hawk it back, you know, get
some lever chewing.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
You use your arms, ark your neck.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
On that thing all the apparently apparently Leonardo DiCaprio actually
that spitting scene wasn't scripted.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
He came up with that on his.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Just felt it and felt it.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, you melt it and Christine. But what we learned
this week was that he was actually not the top
choice for the role.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, the person they really wanted to play Jack in
The Titanic was none other than Matthew McConaughey. McConaughey, Yes,
A memoir was just released by this late producer and
he revealed why Matthew didn't get the part, even though
the actor was certain, like Matthew was certain, he nailed it. Yes,

(08:20):
he did the whole like he got to the very end.
That's who they wanted to play. But Alexis, can you
tell me the real reason James Cameron passed on Matthew McConaughey.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Do I get multiple choice?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Guess what it's your day?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I get multiple choice because my brain is not fully
functioning today.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Okay, great, he's your last multiple choice.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Did they not choose Matthew McConaughey because he refused to
drop his Texas accent? Is acause b Kate Winslet thought
his body odor was offensive?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Oh god?

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Oh no? Or see he wanted to be the one
that was drawn naked instead of the one doing the drawing.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
She would die on that hill enough not to get
the part. He's like, you will draw me.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
I kind of want to go to the accent. I
don't know why he would not for this part. But
let's hope it's that over wanting to be drawn naked
that badly. He can't get the role.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
He wouldn't drop the accent, you're.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Apparently he went in and he did the reading with
Kate Winslet with his accent, and then they're like, Okay,
that was great, let's do it again.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Can you not accent? And he's like, and he was
so confident that he nailed it. He goes, Nope, that
was good. Thanks, oh god left and they didn't get
the role.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Wow, it would have.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Been good though, like in a test to American you know,
like maybe it would have been a more stereotype.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I don't know, you know, Jack, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Well, that was your very multiple choice game today.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
I liked it. I love the multiple choice. I like
the headline version actually too. I got the.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
People like multiple choices that are listening to because they
play along, trying to.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Because my guess is usually terrible. Would well?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
John said it apparently all rights today versus back in
the day. Thank you so much for being here.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
We're back Monday with a brand new show, so uh,
you know, stick around, come back.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
And that's it. That's all I have to say weekend,
Oh yeah, it's pricking. And Jeffrey in the morning
