Speaker 1 (00:09):
VI, it's nice. Hell lover lower lower lower lower Loo.
Welcome to the naughty but nice. I'm your house strong
shooter and it is Thursday, which means o idear friend.
Mark Lupa joins us, Hey, LUPI are your loopy Louis here, Hey,
rub hey Loopy. We looked at some very naughty pictures.
There was a football player I think is a rugby player.
(00:32):
Don't worry, they are not that naughty. But he's on
the cover of ESPN. And when this issue comes out
naughty is we will talk about it. He looked very nice.
He's naked on the cover of ESPN. I think they
do this every year. Mark, they do like a uncovering
of sports stars and hello this year.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Hellos rayed and thank you for sending that yesterday. It
was no surprise.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's a nice surprise. I always have to be careful
whenever I see a text from you or how you
get one from it. I never I opened it in
the middle of the office I was taking before, which
I love. Thank you, Thank you. Okay, let's jump into
the show. What time is it, my friends? It is
tea times. So did he believes he can talk his
way out of prison. Ooh, so did. He is preparing
(01:15):
for the fight of his life tomorrow, and insiders tell
me he's convinced that he alone can sway the judge.
So he's going to be sentenced tomorrow. Faces up to
twenty years behind bars on two federal convictions. So we've
sort of dismissed this because he got off the three
most serious charges. Mark, We're all sort of buying into
(01:38):
this narrative that did he one? Did he beat the system?
That is not true. He was convicted of two federal convictions.
That serious. Mark. If you or I got one federal conviction,
I'd be really worried. If anybody I knew got convicted
of a federal crime. That is a big deal. He's
been convicted of two. He's fifty five years old, and
he plans to speak directly to the court for the
(02:02):
first time. And insider tells me he thinks his words
can change everything. He's arrogant, but it has worked for
him before. Puffy truly believes that he is special. I
think we've seen this. We've certainly seen it in politics.
We see it with celebrities. People really think highly of themselves.
(02:23):
I worked with d D. I've been around him. I've
seen Puff the magic dragon, that's what we used to
call him behind his back in my office. I've seen
him operate. He has got a charm Mark. It kills
me to say it, but he has got this celebrity.
He can be charming, he can smile. He believes in himself.
And I understand why, Mark, because for the last what
(02:44):
twenty thirty years, it has worked until now. He has
got away with a lot of stuff for a long time.
Maybe tomorrow that's gonna end. That run is going to end.
But we shouldn't count him out.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
What do you think, you know, I think that he
has a godlike complex. I think he thinks he is
something superior than the rest of us. And truth be told,
it has worked for him in the past. Complex. We
had several incidents with the law, you know, over the
last twenty years where he got off and including that
you know, major case with j Lo and carrying the gun,
(03:21):
the club and blah blah blah, and so it has worked.
But I think, you know, the tides have turned and
I you know, these are serious charges. However, he might
not be have the book thrown at him. But I
think with the other things that have happened in this trial.
It might affect and infect what the judge thinks.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, I think you're right here. The disscrim story between
what both parties want is massive. They want to put
him away for twenty years. His side of saying he
should get off today because he's already been in jail
for thirteen fourteen months and they think that is enough time.
I think it's going to come somewhere between both. I
(03:59):
don't think he's going to walk out of jail tomorrow.
I don't think he's going to go away for twenty years.
But this case has been so unpredictable. I was doing
CNN a lot around the case, and I got to
meet with a lot of really smart lawyers in the
green room. I really liked it, and none of them
could agree. And that's the first time that's ever happened
to me.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Mark.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Normally, the guests all know what's going to happen. They're
really good at this. They're experts. If you get to
get on CNN or one of these big big shows,
you're really good at what you do. They only book
the best people, and so I love talking to the
lawyers in green rooms because they're really really insightful, and
I always get the number just in case I get arrested.
And you never know, you never know where you're going
(04:41):
to do. Joey Jackson on the phone, He's my favorite,
and so Joey if you're listening Gala low below. So
I can't wait. I'm going to do CNN tomorrow all
day about the tray and I can't wait to be
over at their offices at Hudson Yards and sitting in
the greenroom. I love being on TV Mark, but I
actually enjoy being in the green room more because that's
where you hear all the real.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's how we became friends, you know, hanging out they
make up room, the green room, just chatting, and.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
We became friends at the green room of when you
believe it's such a smart thing to do friends, Honestly,
it's not the end result, it's the process. So when
you go on television, a lot of people think all
they focus on is that four minutes on television. I
got there forteen minutes earlier to get all the gossips.
I had more fun in the green rooms, chually chattering,
and that's where I've made friends for life, including our
(05:26):
dear friend Mark here. So it's going to be fascinating
what happens tomorrow. If Did he pulls this off, my goodness,
he's going to have an even bigger ego. He's going
to think he can rule the world if he gets
out tomorrow, and he could Mark, there's a possibility if
he gets out, he'll be at Madison Square Garden within
six months, I know he'll be on tour. This all
(05:48):
like this never happened. Now. The family are nervous, though
Did He does not seem to be that nervous. He
thinks he's got this in the bag. He really does
believe he's got it. And I, as somebody who know him,
I've worked with it. I remember when he told me
he was going to run the marathon. I laughed in
his face. He ran it. I remember when he told
me he was going to star in a Broadway play
(06:08):
without any experience. I laughed in his face. He did it.
And so don't count him out. I'm not saying this
because I'm a cheerleader. I'm not saying this because I
want him to get off. I do not, let me
be very clear about that. But I just know how
celebrity works, and it can be really intoxicating. Mock. You
and I have been fortunate enough, let's be honest, to
(06:31):
be around a lot of really famous people. You do
treat famous people slightly different than you treat other people.
It's just part of my DNA. Yours maybe too, mok
Is that true.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I think our society, especially in America, we do have
this craze for celebrity, and we have this different kind
of perception of them despite them just being regular people too.
And I would imagine in jail he's probably got special treatment.
I know the prisoners were plotting him and he got
off in the serious charges. I'm so curious to see
how this plays out tomorrow and then what happens after,
(07:05):
Like do we embrace him after? Does the society allow
him to have space to grow? Or do we do
we shun him?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't know. I don't know. Once I was backstage
at a morning show and I was walking down a
long corridor and I really had a celebrity moment where
I gasped. I turned a corner and I literally bumped
into Brad Pitt. Like bodies like touched, Like I turned
the corner, I bumped into him, and I was, Oh,
my goodness, it's bread Pit. But I carried on walking
(07:33):
and he turned the corner and I heard a very
loud fart. Wow, there was only me and Brad in
that Carritor and it wasn't me. And it was the
best moment of my life because I realized he's just
a regular person. Like it's Brad Pit And I don't
know if it was Brad, Brad if you're listening, glow
lower low, but I definitely heard Annoise and I was like, Oh,
I think someone just tooted in the hallway and I
(07:57):
think it's Brad. And it made me. It was a
really lovely moment. It's as silly as it sounds, because
it actually made me realize he's just the person too,
Which brings us to our poole question of the day.
Did he thinks he can talk his way out of
prison tomorrow? What do you predict will he walk tomorrow?
Yes or no? Is did he going to be out tomorrow?
If he is, I'm gonna have to go into high
(08:19):
And I'll tell you that right Mark, I'm coming to
live at your place. Hey, don't forget to vote on
today's Paul. Go to my Twitter page at Naughty nice.
Rob Facebook page is naughty gossip and she was check
back tomorrow Alba to hear your results. Hey Loopy, what
are you working on?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, that's something fun for you, Rob. So Ryan Seacrest
is now pushing for bigger prizes after a one million
dollar win Gus genius. So Ryan is still riding high
after a wheel of fortune's history was made this week.
Insiders are telling our podcast he's already lobbying for the
bigger jackpots now. Christina, if you watched it, a marketing
manager from Connecticut. She's stunned viewers on Tuesday night when
(08:56):
she walked away with a record one point three five
million dollars, which is the largest price in the show's
forty nine year history. The moment was pure TV gold.
There's confetti and Venna was hugging her and Ryan was
choking back tiars. It was magical. Source of saying Ryan
was genuinely emotional, but behind the scenes he's using this
win as proof that the show needs to raise the
(09:18):
sticks and he wants one more or many more one
million dollar prizes.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He's not wrong, Mark, Mark, He's not wrong. You know TV.
You know TV better than I do. It's really made
me interested. I've not spoke or really thought about Wheeler
Fortune since Ryan joined the show. It ticks along, it
gets great ratings, but now it's everywhere. And I did
watch this moment on YouTube. I did watch it, Mark,
and I was like, it was really, really exciting. And
so to have more winners might get you more viewers. However,
(09:45):
it costs you more money. They can't do a million
dollars every week because that would cost fifty two million
dollars a Yeah, that's a lot of money to add
to the budget. So what they're going to do here
is try to figure out what is the worth advertiser
wise to get more people to watch, and to get
more people to watch, how much more money should they
(10:08):
give away? Can they ride this wave now, this million
dollar away for six months? Because they don't want to
give it away unless they have to, unless it does something.
They don't want to get into a place as a
TV show where they have to give a million dollars
away each week, because it really really does get expensive.
The other thing I wanted to ask you about, Mark
is that, Okay, no one's worn a million dollars in
(10:30):
the forty nine year history of the show. Has been
on the air for forty nine years. Was that confetti
cannon pluded for forty nine years?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Mug, that's a very good question.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I will say Ryan is the ultimate TV producer, you know,
behind this, he's fabulous. He's created The Kardashians and many
other shows that we watch. You know, it's for me,
the show it has always been quirky because the prizes
have been smaller and it kind of was not about
the money. It was about the show and the van
and it was about the game and whatever. And I
think that these moments are fun. I always remember that
(11:04):
time and who wants to be a millionaire? When when
the contestant won the first time? And oh really it
was a moment where we are as a society, we're connected.
I don't know that I cared so much anymore about
those kind.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Of minishing returns, Yes, diminishing returns. The more we see something.
A friend of mine a theater, a musical theater friend
of mine said, and it really made sense. He said,
if you see Phantom of the Opera, they dropped the
chantalia once because the second time it wouldn't be as excited.
You would only do that trick once. You can't make
an elephant disappear four times. It only works once. It's
a Maybe this is fabulous for the moment. We'll be
(11:39):
riding high on it for the next six months. But
Ryan Hama, you are a producer. You know how to
make this stuffly okay? Moving along. Eric Dane refuses to
hide is a LS battle and he wants the world
to see.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
We spotted Eric in a wheelchair in Washington, DC and
he was wearing a T shirt saying I am als now.
It would be very easy, with Eric's power and his
wealth and his prestige for him to hide. A lot
of celebrities never want us to see them in a wheelchair.
I remember Liza Minelli was very angry at the Oscars
when they rolled her out in a wheelchair. She didn't
(12:13):
want that. She wanted to be sitting on a stool
fair of faucet before she died. She never ever really
wanted anybody to see her in a wheelchair. Eric's the
opposite is like, this is who I am, this is
the life I leave now, I live now, and he
wants people to see what the horrible things this hateful
disease does because he thinks it will get more funding,
(12:35):
more awareness. He's a very brave, brave man. He does
not need to be at their mark. He could literally
hide away, and he said, no, this is a conscious choice. Mark.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, it's incredible. I just have so much admiration for him.
You know, he was known as Mixteingy from you know,
grazing anime, and we know him to be this hot
you know character and whatever, and now you see him
as a real person going through something really really serious.
And I was shot up to see how fat this
decline has happened. But apparently this is what happens with
this disease. And I think it gives people hope, and
(13:06):
I think it gives people, you know, context, And I
just hope he continues to share a story.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, me too. I just took a pause for a
second to think about him. It's so so brave. And
look at the pictures he wants you to do you
not think that this is a paparazzi hiding outside his house. No,
he wants us to see this, He wants us to
talk about this. He's going to change lives. He really
really is okay moving along, Ricky Martin might be a
little bit jealous of mister Bad Bunny. What is going on?
(13:35):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I think he's a little jellyous of Latin pop star
Ricky Martin might be feeling a little overshadowed. Oh, he's
quietly fuming all bad big global attention Bad Bunny has
been getting for both his music and his risque anything
goes persuma and a sources of say really just can't
escape it. Everywhere he goes, people are talking about Bad Bunny,
(13:57):
the Consters, the chaos, the head and Ricky is used
to being the Latin superstar everyone's obsessed with, and now
he's playing ketchup. Oh. I mean he's a one of
one though.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
But you know what he's done. He's posted a naked photography.
If you go online, there's a naked, a really thirsty
picture he put up out of the blue, and everyon's like, Ricky,
we know why you put up that picture. And it
always works. It always gets that attention. As the Real Housewives,
if ever you see a celebrity in a bikini on
my Abbey's beach, they need a little of attention. Bad thing.
(14:35):
They never get cools, They've always tipped off the bat.
It makes me giddy. That you can be as fabulous,
as famous, as sexy as Ricky Martin, and even you
have a little bit of jealousy. I think we forget, though,
There was a minute, maybe twenty years ago, when Ricky
exploded onto the scene and he was the hottest celebrity
(14:55):
in the world. His publicist at the time it was
Jill Frisco. I think she took me to one of
his concerts and it was a tiny little club he
was playing. It was pandemonium. I've never seen anything like it.
The press, the public, everybody wanted a piece of Ricky.
You cannot overestimate how big he was. He still is.
(15:17):
For a minute, he was like everything. If you see
the picture, though, Ricky, you still got those bomb bombs.
You can shut shake us see you, Ricky Martin. You
know if Ricky Martin this is if this is what
happens when Ricky Martin gets jealous, he takes off his clothes.
I said, bad bunny, make him jealous ever a single day. Naughty.
(15:38):
We're going to take a quick break and we will
be right back. Welcome back to the naughty but nice.
Sham your hairs strom stud with that dear friend, Mark
Lupo Hey, LUPI, let's get to the poles done. Keith
Urban's friends knew about the other woman, Sir, we know
that Keith is not up to any good. The rumors
in Nashville are absolutely deafening. It now appears as if
(16:02):
the other woman is somebody who's on tour with Keith.
I can't give out a name yet or say any
more legally, but it does appear as if Keith met
somebody on the road, she might be a singer in
his band. This is what happens with celebrities. They spend
too much time with people they're pretending to love on
(16:22):
screen or on stage, and those feelings turn real. Our
question was should Blake Shelton have told Nicole? If Blake
knew about this? And I'm told it was not a secret,
people in Nashville knew. A lot of people I spoke
to have said Rob, this was an open, an open secret.
(16:43):
If we had a naughty but nice bureau, we might
have to open one in Nashville. We would have known
it because everybody in Nashville knew it. Well. Blake Shelton's
in Nashville, did he know it? And if he did
know it, should he have told Nicole, I've carefully threaded
that legal not get in any legal trouble. But should
he have told Nicole? Eighty percent said yes, they would tell.
(17:07):
It's a tricky one. Mark, God forbid, I found out
you you're my friend, was up to no good. I
don't think I would tell Kevin because he's not my friend.
I don't really know him.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, this is a very tricky one. I'd probably find
a way to have someone else to do it, like
do my dury work, and I would let the message
would be relad it was not directly done right right right.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It's a tricky one, isn't it. I think I'm with you.
Naughty is the majority things. Yes, Blake should have said something. Hey,
don't forget to vote on today's Paul get a word
Twitter page at Naughty Nice rob. Our facebook page is
Naughty Gossip and be sure to check back tomorrow to
hear your results. And now it's time for the nicest
of the day.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Oh it's one of our favorite trob Taylor Swift. We
love we love her. Taylor Swift has broken so many
records practically needs her own Billboard chart, but insiders say
her upcoming twelfth studio album twelve, The Life of a
Showgirl could smash even more.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Tell me what she could do so?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Her sources are saying that the album is already generating
massive pre sales, with two limited edition vinyl variants selling
out in under an hour. That alone has chart watching
predicting other vinyl records breaking that week. If anyone could
top eight hundred and fifty nine thousand vinyl sales, it's Taylor.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
She could do it. What do you think you could
do it? Mark? And what about singles? Could she break
records on singles? What does she up to there? So?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
If a day's be so, If the debuts at number one,
which everyone expects, Swifts will become the first solo artist
in history to notch fifteen number one albums, breaking hers
high with Jay Z and Drake.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Wow. I mean, it's just astonishing. I think that this
album could do it. The Tortured Poets Department got nine
hundred million streams in the first week, just staggering. They
think this could be even bigger. I cannot wait for
this album to come out. Taylor Taylor, Taylor, we are
excited and nicest of the day. And now I know
(19:10):
what is the day naughty, naughty, naughty. I noticed the
day Selena Gomes because she shared a ton of pictures
from her wedding. Thank you. We like that. However, there
were no pictures of Taylor Swifts. We know Taylor was there,
she was at the wedding. That Selena's put up a
ton of pictures in a carousel, all glowing or radiant.
I get it, it's her date, it's not Taylor's. But
at the ten pictures, couldn't you just slip one of
our Taylor behind? Just doesn't that Taylor? But I went
(19:34):
through them. I love you Selena. I love the wedding dress,
I love the love, I love the wedding. But I
was looking for Taylor. No pictures, I mean true.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
But I think maybe in a year from now, when
it's anniversary, the first anniversary, we'll see pictures.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You know, she's got them on the phone, had them over,
had them over, someone's got a picture. I know what
it is the day. Let's same with the moment of
rob You rob, you get a rob. Life isn't about
cramming more in. It's about valuing what true matters. You
can hustle yourself into exhaustion, chasing every shot on your
list and still feel empty at the end of the day.
But when you slow down, when you slow down and
(20:10):
ask what actually matters to me, that's when everything shifts.
Success isn't about how much you do. Success is about
doing stuff that you love. I had to learn this lesson.
If my diary was empty on a given night. I
used to feel like bad about myself, like I was
a loser, like nobody likes me. And then I realized
I was just packing my life with just things I
(20:30):
didn't really want to do. Don't speed up, slow down,
slow down. We live in a world mark where we're
running from meeting to the meeting, from friend to friend,
from bar to bar. No sit and enjoy your friends.
Go and slow Dan. That's my naughty that's my nice
advice of the day. Okay, everybody, That is it for today?
