Speaker 1 (00:08):
Scalable advice.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Sure spice, it's time Hello, love, low and low and love,
welcome to me, not even nic share your hayst a shooter.
And it's Wednesday, which means our dear friend Donny Meetcham
joins us.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hey, Donnie, are you there a level level over blow? Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Wednesday Wednesday were on Wedding Watch, it seems were on
Taylor Wedding Watch. One's only to Gomez Wedding Watch. Were
on Wedding Watch.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Very very exciting news. We've got some of it in
the show today. But let's jump in.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
What time is it?
Speaker 2 (00:37):
My friends? It is t t thankstory at the top
of the show, So Harry, Prince Harry has realized that
the last five years might have been a bad dream.
Now he's not turning on Megan. Let's be very very
clear here. However, he is in the UK and he's
doing what he does best, Donnie. He's joking with children,
he's making blue animals, he is jumping down and being
kind to those in need. He's on tour, so he's
(01:00):
over in Britain for about four or five days. He
extended the trip and now he's visiting different hospitals, different
community centers, and everybody who's there on the ground is
telling me he's brilliant at this. He's better at this
than his brother William. I don't know anybody who doesn't
like something they're good at. He's really good at this.
(01:20):
It's like watching Princess Diana. The way he connects with people,
the way he talks to regular people, it's really really special.
And Harry knows it himself. You know when you do
a good job, you know when you connect, you know
when you do a great day at work. Well, Harry
knows he's doing really really well. And I can't help
but to wonder what went wrong, Like this is what
(01:41):
he should be doing for a living. He's so good
at it. He looks so so natural. It's like the
old Harry. People are saying. You can see it in
his face. He sees that he loves this, And for
a moment it was like the last five years never
never happened. Those five years, the Oprah interview, the tell
all memory are the Netflix deals, the lawsuits, the endless riffs.
(02:04):
Now even to Harry must feel like a bad, bad dream.
One inside had told me he thrives on service on people.
On moments like this. When he's in this space, you
can tell he misses it, and he remembers, Donnie, this
is interesting. He remembers what his old life used to be.
So let's be clear here. He's not breaking up with Meghan.
(02:25):
He has no regrets. He is deeply in love with Meghan.
He loves his children. However, there is a stark contrast
to his life in California, in Montecito and his life
in London. And I think you miss it us back
home just a few weeks ago, Donnie, I miss it terribly.
It just feels right, the place where you grew up,
the place where you spent your childhood, maybe went to university.
(02:47):
It's a natural fit. And so California's very alien to Harry.
Once again, I can't emphasize this enough. This is not
trashing Meghan here. He is deeply, deeply in love with Meghan,
which actually makes things more complicated. If he had a
bad marriage, Donna, he'd be back home tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
But he doesn't. He has a great marriage.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
What do you do, though, when one person in the
marriage wants to live in California, one person really would
rather be in London.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
This is a problem.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
What do you think, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Look, I think because he is a prince, and regardless
of he lost his royal talk, he's Prince Harry. He
doesn't matter what you said, You're never gonna take Prince
Harry away from Prince Harry. The problem is is, though,
is not liking your or getting along with your father
is not unnormal for a lot of people, But because
he's Prince Harry, the prince, you're like, what, there's a rift.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Inside the royal palace.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's what makes it seem more shocking. And so also
it's about age. You grow up and you realize he's
getting older, and he realize when you're mad at somebody,
when you're in your twenties and your early thirties and you're, oh,
you scuff and you huff and you puff, and you oh,
I'm never gonna talk to you again, and I'm gonna
leave and I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Move to California.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
And then five years passes and you go, I'm an adult.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
What am I doing?
Speaker 1 (04:06):
The only person I'm punishing here is myself because I
can still be mad at them, and he might have
reasons to that's their internal struggle, but not doing what
he loves to do because he's mad at them. Is
only punishing himself, just punishing himself.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, I think something's clicked. I've been watching him closely.
I've got reporters, friends on the ground over there who
are watching him, and they said, it's the old Harry.
He's happy, he's giggling, he's not moody. He's having a
great time. This is the problem, though, when you're involved
in the family business. We all fall out with our family,
but most of us don't work for our family. This
is the job, and so you can't have it both ways.
You can't not speak to your dad and your brother
(04:41):
and the family and then want to work in the
family business. The reason that Harry is enjoying this is
he grew up in this business. He knows this business.
He's really really good at it. Let's be clear here.
He is Princess Diana, good William's very good at it,
Kate's great at it. No one is as good as Harry. Harry.
There was a little boy his shoelaces and undone Harry
dropped to his knees and did up his shoelace. It's
(05:03):
just natural. He's laughing with the kids. The kids' faces
are absolutely beaming seeing Harry, and so I wish there
was a way. I really wish there was a way
for all of this to work. I don't think, though,
you can have the job without the family, particularly when
it's a family business, and then we have.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
To we can't ignore it got a role in Meghan.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
How does that work here? So it's fine when Harry's
by himself. Meghan don't want to live there. She tried it,
she didn't like it. I respect that she likes her
home of California. California feels really natural to her. London
feels really natural to Harry. Something's got to give here, though,
because I do think after this really successful trip, when
he returns home, he's gonna say to Meghan, that felt
(05:45):
really good. I'm really good at this. I'm never gonna
be good at it. In America, it's different. I'm not
Prince Harry here. I am in the tabloids and in
the press, but it's just different the way people react.
Brits react to seeing Princess Diana son to see in
a crowned prince. It's so engraved in the culture over there.
It's really really special. I understand him missing it. This
(06:09):
is like pop stars who no longer sell records or
concert tickets. They miss it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
They miss it desperately.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
They want to be center stage at Madison Square Garden.
This is Real Housewives. After the show ends, they miss it,
They miss it terribly. Now, the thing here is that
Harry doesn't have to miss it, but in order to
get it back, he's going to get the family back.
And that I think is where we have the problem,
which brings us to our whole question of the day.
Harry seems to have realized that the last five years
(06:37):
might have been a bad dream. He's a natural at
this in Britain. Do you think he regrets Do you
think he regrets leaving the royal family. Remember, he's having
a swell time. You can see it on his face.
He's having the best time in London. He's really good
at this. And once again, I don't know a single person, Donnie,
who doesn't like something they're good at. If you're really
(06:58):
good at something, playing the violin, shut in whatever it
might be, us going to think of something for you, Jnny.
But I realized that a family share, we couldn't say it.
If you're really good at somethink.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
If you're really good at it, you probably enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Hey, go vote on at the page at Naughty Nice
rob Our facebook page is Naughty Gossip. I'm sure to
check back Tamaraua to.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Hear your results. Hey, Donny Love, what are you working on?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So he better just call his buddy Oprah and borrow
her private jet and just keep flying back and forth.
It's fine, You'll be fine, Prince Harry. Oh, Hugh Jackman
m mmmm. He has had to resort to begging Pink
to come save his Radio City show. So he has
a Radio City residency from New York with Love and
(07:45):
you would thank you Jackman huge, it would be massive. Well,
it's about half empty house this the result. Tickets are
going for about twenty dollars. So he called in Pink. Yep,
Pink is going to hit the stage with him on
September twentieth. What Broadway insiders are calling a survival play
(08:05):
but not a surprise. Sales are soft, buzz is flat,
and Hughes team knows he needs a jolt. Pink is
the kind of jolt that sells tickets. True, so it's
basically hell Mary, but but just going Why isn't he
just doing the Greatest show Man? They just go and
do every song from the Greatest Showman. Call up all
(08:26):
those actors, get him in there, and then get somebody
to play Zac, get somebody to play the guy. Yeah,
but all those other actors, they're happily, going.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Good, happily. Just screen the movie. They've got a big screen.
They're screened the movie. It used to be a movie.
Has I saw the show. It was good. It wasn't great.
It was good.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
He's not in a good voice anymore, at least the
night I saw him. It wasn't that good. When he
sang the show songs in The Grady show Man, I screamed.
When he did the songs from Lamies, I screamed. He's fantastic.
But people are not buying tickets. But I think that's
not just Hugh Jackman. A lot of artists are struggling
on the Rose Road. For every every every Taylor Swift,
you have somebody out there, ten people like that who
are really really struggling. I think he oversold this. What
(09:02):
was interesting for me is he did something in the
show I've never seen done before. On stage, he asked
the audience raise your hands if you know me as Wolverine,
and about eighty percent of the people did, and he said,
you're gonna hate tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I started to love because there's the Wolverine is not
a song and dance man.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So the people that know Hugh like me through the
Greenish Showman and Lai Mires and the Broadway shows. I'm
not a Wolverine fan, but most people who bought tickets
wanted him up there doing Wolverine. He's got a bit
of a dilemma here because he's really big fan base
is not a musical theater fan base. He has a
musical theater fans like you and me, Donnie, but majority
(09:39):
of the people buying tickets for you are Wolverine fans,
and they don't want to see him singing Nan seeing
a Pink It can help, ultimately here, it never really
changes anything if you're not doing well. Bringing in an
extra star, a stunt cast it works once, but not
really again. If people don't want to see you, they're
not going to come and see you. And if they
come and just see Pink.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
They'll just get a her show.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So nice try, but ultimately here I'm not sure who's
going to pull this off, okay, Moving along, Howard Stern's
wife Beth convinced him to sign their new deal. She
didn't want him home all day. This makes me laugh.
So behind Howard Stern's shocking new deal, which we told
you about two weeks ago, we predicted this, we had
the news on this one. Now we're figuring out that
it was Beth, Beth's then who pulled the strings. So
(10:22):
while the shot sock who's now seventy one, he did
consider retiring, Beth pushed him to keep going. Beth adores him,
but she knows what a nightmare he can be. If
he's got too much free time on his hands. He
could drive her crazy. Sometimes even the cats, he drives
them crazy as well. The mic keeps him say, and
(10:42):
Beth reminded him that radio isn't just the job, it's
his lifeline. And she told him, Howard, you need to
do this for yourself as much as you do for
your fans. I think Beth is right here. Beth really
knows him. The reason this relationship is so solid is
they both really really understand one another. And I do
actually think Howard with that job would be a kind
of a difficult habit. This job has been something he's excelled.
(11:05):
It been the best in the world for so long.
I understand why he doesn't want to give it up, Yere,
and I think Beth is probably very wise to.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Help him reach that conclusion too.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Now you've worked too sirious for a long time, Donnie,
what do you think about all this Howards to and drama.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
To somebody who worked it serious, this whole thing, all
those headlines about serious canceling. How I knew that was
all rubbish. It was all a lie because Howard Stern
built serious. Except Howard Stern, and regardless of he has
been openly years and years ago. He used to openly
(11:42):
trash the president on airport. But you know what, they
have a love hate relationship. At the end of the day,
they respect the fact that that company would not be
here today if Howard Stern didn't save it from extinction,
and so there is a sense of loyalty there. And
it doesn't matter the company has the money, they're gonna
(12:03):
be Howard was going to decide what Howard wanted and
that was the answer. But also Howard has a very
very easy schedule. If Howard doesn't want to work that day,
Howard doesn't work that day. I think now he's only
live but three days a week, and it's it's like
summer school, where so it's like you work for two
weeks and then you're off for six months, and then
you work a week and then But that's just what
(12:24):
he does, and he's allowed to do that. Nobody's questioning him.
But this is what the man does.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
What's it gonna go home?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He doesn't, he's I don't think he knits. I don't
think he you know, I don't think he sits around
and you know, collects queens do.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I think this is great, Howard.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm so so happy that you're staying gone and Donny
when I was working there with you too. It is
the house that Howard built. I can't emphasize enough. Within
the building, Howard's staff have special past keys. They have
access on the po and building that we could not
get in. It was like two different companies and Anti
Conn's not part of it. Andy's a big star, but
he's not involved in the Howard world. He's a few
(13:04):
days ago, but and is with the rest of us,
the peasants, me and Donnie and everybody. And then Howard
has this luxurious, luxurious, sweet how And I'm happy about
back and I'm happy for Beth too. I know her
a little bit and she's a really really cool person. Okay,
another cool person is Britney Spears. I love her, but
she has drama. Donnie. We were the first to report
(13:25):
that our house is an absolute disaster. She fired her
maid a few months ago. It's covered in dog poop
and people are really worried about Britney.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yeah, there's I mean these reports that this house is
just a disaster, and it's so sad. It's because she
has these dogs.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
And the dogs are me and you.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We are Darby, Hello, lo Level, we are all you know,
we're all dog fans.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
We have the dogs.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
The dogs aren't trained, they're not house trained.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Poop everywhere. They're pooping in the house.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And you know, Brittany's not She's not betting over and
cleaning it. The thing is is, once it kind of
gets a little out of hand, it gets a little lot.
And the problem too is when dogs urinate, it kind
of permeates into the tile, into the cracks and the crevices,
and it starts to smell.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Smell. Does smell get that made back a sap, get
them made back.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
This is alarming, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I always once had a photo shoot with Britney Spears
and her dog pooped on one of the dresses like
it was a ten thousand dollars design a dress and
there was no no discipline. I think you've got to
train your animals. If you love your animals, train them.
They have better life when they have rules in them.
You have better lives when they have rules in them, too, Brittany.
I love that you have animals, because I'm sure they're
(14:46):
very soothing. I just don't know if you have the
responsibility the capability to look after them. And so if
you've got the money, which you do have to hire
somebody to do that, maybe that would be a really
really good idea, a really really really good investment. Okay,
we're going to take a quick breatak and we will
be right back. Welcome back to their Naughty at Naisham,
(15:08):
your Hairstrob Shooter, Hay, Let's get to the polls. Last show,
we talked about Prince William wanting to ban Harry from
visiting the late Queen's grave. So Harry got off the
plane at hethrow and went straight to the Queen's grave.
Now the Queen is not at Westminster Abbey. She's had
a really private, really beautiful chapel actually where Harry got married,
(15:28):
Saint George's Chapel, and it is on the estate of Windsor.
It is a private little chapel for the royal family.
You can't just walk into it. You have to get
special permission to get in. The King gave him permission.
William is saying, I'm not sure if I would. Is
William right or wrong?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Fifty percent, it's split down the middle said right, which
means fifty percent said wrong. I think what's really pulling
at people's heartstrings here is that Harry caused the Queen
a lot of stress in the last few years of
her life.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
She did not.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Want to go to her grave worrying about Harry and Megan,
and she did. They went to her with a deal
that she rejected. Now it's a deal that it looks
like he's going to implement regardless, And so I understand
them being angry with Harry, But at the same time,
it is his grandmother too, and he has a right
to see her. Hey down forget to vote on today's Paul,
go to our Twitter page at nineteen nice rob. Our
(16:20):
facebook page is Naughty Gussip and be sure to check
back tomar right to hear your results are napong. It's
time for the nicest of the day.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
The nicer today is missus Selena Gummes. As we were
talking about on we were on Wedding Watch, as Selena
Gomez invited Britney Spears to her welling. She received a
golden invitation. If we all remember if Selena Gomez was
one of the very very few people that was at
(16:54):
Britney Spears as well, that was a big celebrity and
of course, so it's about it's about loyalty, so of
course she re extended the favor and invited Brittany. I
personally don't think Brittany will go right because then I
think Selena might be hoping Brittany doesn't actually show up,
but it would be kind of beautiful if she did,
(17:16):
because people, I think this is what Brittany needs. She
needs to get out there, company needs to live in
a normal life.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Solely people around it. Brittany don't take the dogs. But Selena,
that's awfully sweet of you. Are nicest of the day,
and now I noticed the day with deep Paula Dean.
We'll never forgive Matt Lawer. So Pauladine is talking about
an interview she did on the Today Show. She seems
to be blaming Matt Lawer for asking her what she
thinks were unfair questions. Everybody else here thinks they were
questions that needed to be asked. If you remember Paula
(17:45):
Dean and was the choose of using the N word,
I think it was a little bit more than that.
There was tape of it, and she went on the
Today Show to redeem herself, and I think somehow she
thought Matt was going to give her a free pass
and she'd do this interview on the Today Show and
she'd leave there as if she hadn't said this disgusting world.
He didn't. I've rewatched the interview. It's a tough interview,
but it's a fair interview.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
She said it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He didn't make anything up here now going on to
his future and some of the awful things he's done,
not good. Paula's right about that. But Paula pointing out
somebody else's problems, don't make your problems go away. Don't
use that word, Paula Dean, and don't blame everybody else
when you get caught doing get an autios for the day.
(18:26):
Let's end with a moment of rob you. You don't
lose friends when somebody walks away. Don't mistake that as
a loss. Real friends can't be lost if they disappear
when things get tough, or if they switch sides, or
if they secretly root against you, then were they really
ever truly your friends? Were they ever really truly your people?
(18:48):
That wasn't friendship, That was camouflage. True friends don't vanish.
They stand beside you. They celebrate your wins, and they
weather your storms. So let the false ones fall away.
The real ones stay, Donnie. They always do, and those
are the only ones who really really matter. Remember that
(19:09):
if a friend walks away, if you lose a friend,
they probably.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Were never really a friend to begive with. Hey, that
is it for today.

bit nice with Robin Donnie show a production of iHeartRadio.
