Speaker 1 (00:12):
I went to Lady Gaga and we got to the
venue minutes before the show, and she canceled vocal cords,
which I totally think. I get, Like it's minutes before.
People were freaking out. I felt really I was only
like explaining it to the audience. I certainly wasn't complaining
because I did fly back to Miami a day early.

(00:34):
I did cancel something, I canceled a date but O
and I did waste an outfit and I did go
have my friend after. I meet some men after. But
it wasn't the biggest harm the biggest felt. But I
felt so bad for people that traveled. They got plane tickets,
got babysitters, like bought the tickets, flew overseas like it
could be a disaster. I never thought about the responsibility

(00:57):
of being an entertainer at that level. And just like
celebrities are just like us. Like she got sick, so
everybody went to New York. I didn't get to go,
but I think I get to go in like any
other city. So I have to think about making a
plan and what it's going to look like and if
I'm going to do it. Went to see Adam Sandler
do a live show in Miami, and it's not really

(01:21):
that he does stand up. He does like these bits
and these singing. I actually saw it at a charity
show two years ago, so it was a very similar show.
So was similar content. It's more like shock value, strange
demented songs. You know. It's very for like the dad
who wears a T shirt that says something on it

(01:41):
that has like a beer cozy and like like sort
of like inappropriate like dork uncle humor. Rob Schneider opened
up for him and I've seen him before. My faite
Kevin Neelan was to me the funniest. That was the
most entertaining part. I really like him. I think he's
really funny. I think that's a very difficult, almost dying

(02:03):
art of stand up comedy. And it's becoming like a
middle aged art based on me, based on the crowd,
based on the jokes. I'm like, wait, a wee old
like and it's the same night as the VMA's And
then I'm like, I really don't know who Tate McCray is.
Like I know that she's a person, and I know
people compared to Britney Spears, and she's like a cute
young girl. I've seen Sabrina Carpenter in concert, but because

(02:25):
I was taking my daughter. I mean, we're like, I
don't know anything. It's like we're there now. I really
don't know anything. I couldn't right now name a dual
lip a song unless the dual lip and the baby
song is dualip of singing it because it was a
TikTok sound, because I am a TikToker. But I can't
name a Tate McCray song. I can't, off the top
of my head name a Sabrina Carpenter song. There are

(02:47):
other people too, like I like Billie Eilish, and I
know I like her music. I don't think I could
write now. I just suck. I'm just when you get old,
you're old. And it's even worse if you're old to
like act young and like act like you know what's
going on, Like it would be creepy if I know it.
You have to just like sit where you are, you know,
it's just funny. I look around at my friends, I'm like,
you're fucking old too. It's so annoying. We can't really
avoid this, and it's so weird that young people are

(03:10):
into me. It's like so strange. I mean, I always
thought it was that I was the crazy aunt and
like I was talking at this business event yesterday because
I just want to know, like how to pop off
on social media, and I'm like, it's the most overused
thin saying be authentic, and I don't think it's that
easy to be authentic because you have to actually know

(03:30):
who you are or be in touch with who you
actually are to be authentic. It's not something you can
just say. It's something you have to just be. So anyway,
I just it's almost cringe that I'm the old guy
at the club, like I'm the old woman inside TikTok
that like the young kids thinks cool and it's like,
why you fucking weirdos. It's just so strange. I live

(03:52):
in there, but I know that I'm like the mom
wearing like rainbow legwarmers. Do you know what I mean?
Like I'm aware it's I'm cringing at myself. I don't understand. Okay,
So in scrolling through social media, first of all, I
just want to say something. Teddy Mellencamp looks good with

(04:16):
a shaved head, Like is there enough discussion about that?
I saw a couple. I saw her when she was
in the hospital, unfortunately, and then I've seen pictures of
her just like I think she was with a group
of housewives, and I mean she's really beautiful, but like
there's some sort of like empowering, badass survival bitch that

(04:40):
has come out. And I have two friends who have
been through hell and are still in like a version
of hell from different types of cancer, and they both
have like they've changed. I'm not even saying it's positive
and I'm not saying it's negative. It's just like there's
a change meaning. It's not like the faux gratefulness that

(05:05):
people will have about like no just one day at
a time, and I'm just it's like it's like real
because they've really been to the other side, like they've
been through something that other people have not been through,
and they all have a similar like like nothing matters,
but everything matters at the exact same time, Like everything
is so ridiculous and trite and stupid, but also everything

(05:31):
is so meaningful and deep, Like I think small things
probably have big meaning and big things have no meaning.
Like it's all sort of mixed up in this meaning
soup because we place the utmost importance on the nothing,
the sweating of the small stuff, and then if you

(05:53):
if you are your life is at risk. Even the
most gigantic things feel so inconsequential, Like the whole board
gets like taken down, you know, I feel like it
must like reshuffle the entire deck. So people just are
changed anyway. I just I've met Teddy maybe once, like
backstage at something. I don't know her at all. I

(06:14):
just I just I don't know as a just as
a mom. She just got a different transparency about her
relationship and like what was going on. And it doesn't
seem like put upon, it doesn't seem like wanting attention.
It's just like, fuck it, this is what it is.
I've you know, my life has been on the balance,
So like I'm just gonna mention it all. I don't know,

(06:34):
there's just something something that obviously changes a person. I mean,
it's like, because most things don't happen, most people fear
the things that don't happen, and then something when it
does happen, You're just like, Okay, this is happening right now.
This shit is real right now. You know, it must
be what it feels like to be like kidnapped and
locked in like an elevator, and you're like, wait, is
this happening right now by that person? This happens to

(06:56):
God bless honestly. So, I don't know why that came up,
but I was thinking about this naked wasted thing, like
there's a whole thing. I don't know exactly what just happened,

(07:18):
but I think on the Real Housewives of Orange County
they brought up the naked wasted scene from the OC
years ago. There was a the OC has had a
lot of problems with this. I remember the girl's peer
pressure and Kelly Dodd to drink and I think she
heard my podcast and then said that she wasn't doing
something she didn't want to do. I don't know. And
as a person who had a cocktail line and invented

(07:38):
the skinny margarita and loves a cocktail, I still like
it's crazy the shit that was able to go on
on that show that aired. Like I've talked about I
talked about all this stuff that's being discussed now on
social media on rewives that podcast, like it's like everyone's
talking about it now, like it's it's a new discussion.

(08:00):
It's never been a new discussion there was Gretchen was
in a bathroom with a younger man, the son of
one of the cast, and he was fucking rolling up
on her and I don't know how she had the
wherewithal to say no, because she you know, you know,
we've all been in that situation where you're just like
it's it's a bad feeling and it's just a fucked

(08:21):
up thing, and the producers just listening and like not intervening.
It's just like what a gross world that keeps turning
and it's shocking, it's barely turning, but it's just like unbelievable.
So I saw this all over social media, and another
person from that world messaged me about it, and like
I said, I don't care about it because I'm that
part of it anymore. It doesn't matter to me. But

(08:43):
it's just like expired milk. It's crazy, like I think,
you know, when you close your eyes and you think
like the other person's not there because you've closed her eyes,
like as a kid, I think it doesn't exist anymore.
And then I'm like, wait, are people is this still
going on? I don't know what level, I don't know
what success level. I don't. I don't know if all
of the seasons of all of the cities still goes

(09:04):
on in full clip like, full tilt like. I don't
know if Atlanta still goes on. I loved that show.
I don't know if Jersey still goes on. I loved
many parts of that show. Teresa's a fucking gangster. I mean,
she's just like the terminator of Housewives. I mean she's
been through a war there, and she seems like a
tough as nails, also as flexible as a rubber band woman.

(09:27):
And again, I've met her twice in my whole life.
I really don't know these people just because we were
in the same franchise. I don't know them, but so
I look on like a fan with the slightest bit
of institutional knowledge, no more than the average fan by
any means. All Right, hot new couples, I don't care

(09:47):
if they're true. If they're not true, I'd like to
discuss them, and I want to live inside of them,
and I just I want to like just talk about them. Okay.
Olivia Jade, who's the daughter of Massimo and Lori, and
sorry to mention that she was part of the college scandal,
who cares. It was a long time ago, but she's
beautiful and like seems I don't know if she seems interesting.

(10:08):
She's a beautiful young girl. I think she went to
USC and she posts on social media that I rarely
see it, but I think she's dating Glenn Powell. Okay,
I'm just saying, like, hip hip hooray for everyone. Okay,
hip hip hooray. And then I don't know why I
never think of her name. Everybody thinks she's so pretty.
She was in the movie I Feel Pretty. What the

(10:30):
fuck is her name? You guys all love her and
she's dating Austin Butler. What's her name? People guys love her,
like I think she's pretty, but like, I don't panic
over it. There are certain people that I panic over.
I don't panic over I panic over like Emily Radikowski.
If I'm saying the name right, her and Austin Butler, Okay,

(10:54):
Like yes, I'll take I'll take three. I yes, it's
just like beautiful gorgeousness hot couple? Or was he the
one who was with Cindy Crawford's daughter, Like fuck, we're
in high stakes poker land. This is just like hot
as fuck land. Yeah, I like it. It's for some reason,
it's giving to me Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendez. I

(11:20):
don't know why. I don't know why. I think that
because it's it's more commercial. But it's just like, let's
fucking go. Okay, So the new couples, I'm about it.
Did someone tell me the Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson
was fake news for the movie? I bought that hook
line in Sanka. If that was fake news just for

(11:41):
the movie, I'm not well and happy. I don't like it.
I don't like it. I bought that shit right fucking
retail price A little loser. What is your disorder? Is
it being late? Is it being messy? Is it getting
too drunk at a party? Is it like just spewing

(12:04):
off what you think? Is it being too reserved? Is
it being insecure? What is your disorder? Mine is order.
My disorder is order. Everything has to be in order.
Everything has to be organized, everything has to be put
away immediately. Everything has to be where it's supposed to be.
Everybody else has to be a mind reader and remember
where I told them it needs to be, and they

(12:25):
have to follow the rules of where it all needs
to be. Where it goes, where it went, what the
process is. Every person that has ever worked for me
has changed their entire life and house, and it has
become the most organized machine. I saw a picture of
William and Kate and the future King George and like

(12:47):
when they told him, I've never thought about anything like
that in my entire li could you imagine being a
child or having the child and like looking down and
knowing that your child, your son, is going to be case.
It is so Game of Thrones. It is so something
you cannot even conceive, like what somebody has to be king?

(13:11):
But like it's Prince George, Like how insane is that?
I mean, honestly, it makes you realize why there was
some version of some complex with Harry, Like it's unavoidable.
It's unavoidable, Like people in your family are like kings
and queens. Yes, you're a prince. I mean you're a

(13:31):
prince in fairness too, Like that's pretty rare. Also, I'm
just saying, like what are those discussions? Like how crazy?
I guess it's like anything else. I guess it's like
running any business. It's just like having a meeting. I'm
sure you know they're just living their lives right now.
Someone brought up that Kate had a wig on, which
I was with someone and we saw Kate and a

(13:53):
picture of Kate and they said to me that they
think that she had a wig on or like a
big piece, but it seemed like a wig, And I
wonder if that means that she is undergoing anything or
just that she has to be out all the time.
You would fry your hair, if you had to treat
your hair, heat your hair, put product in your hair,
look like a doll every day. A wig would seem

(14:14):
like a very smart idea. Just throw a wig on it, Like,
if you have good wigs, put it a wig on,
like you're not even damaging your hair. I would love to.
I should just like get into wigs. I just think
of living in Florida now that might be hot, and
is it like you're just throwing it on every day?
If I could just like throw on a wig, I
think if the care for them put them on heads,
like it seems like a thing. But if you have

(14:35):
other people doing it, yeah, I'd be like going to
the store just throw a wig on. I think I should.
Is there a process? I feel like there is. There's
like stuff you have to put on and like creams
and gels and sticking things together. If there's that, then
it's just another problem. If you're just throwing a wig on,
like a throwing a shirt on, I'd be all about it.
I'm teamwig. Alec Baldwin and Ilaria make me laugh. She's

(15:00):
on Dancing with the Stars. I'm intrigued, Like I kind
of can't look away from the two of them. They've
been teasing it for months with them doing these dances,
in these ballroom dances, and he's just dancing with her
in the driveway and in the Hamptons. I just love
that he's like, has seventy five kids, he's a little
he's older. We all are older, and they just don't
give one fuck. They've been through the fire. They've been
I mean, the woman has been canceled for the way

(15:22):
she said cone Colomber or whatever she said, cue Colomber.
And she's been Spanish. She got to be Spanish. I said,
we should give her fucking Spanish citizenship. She put in
the time, she put in the work like she deserves it,
and the two of them zero point zero Fox. I'm
such fans for no real like I don't even know
what they are, what they do. I don't care. I
just want to like watch like every little snippet and

(15:43):
she's on Dancing with the Stars and I just am
very interested. And then you're gonna get Alec Baldwin in
the audience, Like I'm so excited for that. I'm just
I'm just in. I'm just all about it, to do,

(16:04):
to ask, to do, to be after
