Speaker 1 (00:09):
Advice, Sugar Spice, it's time.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
And Level Lo welcome to the Naughty but I show
I'm your House from Shooter and it is Wednesday, which
means our dear friend Donny Meecham joins us, Hey, Donnie
are you there?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
And Level Level Oh, it's Wednesday, Wednesday Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
So funny thing. Ye one thing.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Anybody should do when they're listening to the podcast check
the speed, oh back, speed of the pocket, because you
know sometimes on the pocket it can change and somebody's like,
what Danny up on my party and he's sounded crazy.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
And they kind of find out the speed is just oh.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh, well, you see. Though I saw a few of
those comments too, I've got to say I only get
them on Wednesday shows. And I think it's because you
and I together talk very fast, so fast, like when
we go drinking together. When you lived in New York,
we didn't read ninety miles and we didn't talk to

(01:18):
each other. We talked at each other for like two
hours and then we went to bed. And I've had
a fabulous night to shouting all night and you shouted
at me and we went to bed. So I'm going
to try today to make sure that you have a
chance to speak, and I'm not going to speak quite
as good. You get me excited, Donny, That's what it is.
You get me excited. And we love a good gossip

(01:41):
and we love it fast. Today we're going to be
at an adult professional speech. Okay, what time is it?
My friends? It is big story. At the top of
the show, Jennifer Aniston is being accused of being used
as bait to sell her boyfriend's books. Let me explain.
Jen is appearing at the ninety second Street Why with

(02:04):
her boyfriend Jim Curtis for a book event. He has
a book. I think it's out right now or it's
coming out in a few days. Jen has agreed to
host a night at the Why. Tickets are a one
hundred dollars, but you do get a free book with that. Now.
Insiders are telling me that this feels like a shakedown,

(02:26):
that ninety nine of that one hundred dollars is really
about seeing Jen and maybe one dollar gim Like, it's
just so interesting to me. How often should you ever
harness the power of your significant other if you are
dating somebody who is successful in whatever field. Very few

(02:49):
of us will ever date somebody as powerful as Jen.
But we all have our power in our own little world.
How do you feel a bad I don't want to
say you using them, but enjoying their success.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
What do you think, Tommy, every chance you get, every
cheerce you good?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
That would be on my business card.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Jenn, who are you?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Doesn't matter? Do you think? Because initially his friends were
saying he loves Jen and that they're so spiritually connected,
he'd never use a There was concern when they first
got together that he was with Jen for the wrong reasons,
which is she's rich and famous. She's also beautiful and smart.
So there's a lot of good reasons to be with Jen.

(03:48):
But let's not be let's not be silly. The money
helps marrying a rich person. Dating a rich person is
just as difficult as stating a poor person. So like,
I'd rather rather have have the the ridge. But would
I ask her to turn up at a host a
book event for me? I don't know if I would. Recently,

(04:10):
did you know, Donnie, I have a book out? Did
I mention that I.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Don't think I've ever heard you talk about it?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, let me talk about it right now. So it's
called it started with a whisper. Have you bought one yet?
Because my old book is on your bookcase. I've seen it.
I don't see the new one there yet. You book
Thank you very much, very which is actually available right now,
but I'm not reading it. However, forecasts back to Jen,

(04:37):
I had a book party and I did hardess the
power of my friend's Elvis de Ran and Rosanna Scotto
to host the party. Then it's close to Jennifer. It
is someone that's more famous than yourself. That's the point
I'm trying to make here is that how often should

(04:58):
we know a few famous I don't call in that
many favors, do you think? And this is where it
gets so interesting. A source close to Jen, I've spoke
to this person for years. They said, Jen's not being used,
She's not bait. She suggested it that could be true.
She said to Jim, why don't I throw you a

(05:19):
book event in New York. We can sell tickets. If
we sell a thousand tickets, we're going to sell a
thousand books because for that hundred dollars you get a
book included. It's own new way of selling books, like
a trick, isn't it? If you pay twenty dollars to
come and have a drink with Rob Shooter. You get
my book for free, and I count that as a sale.
So this book not doing quite as well as they

(05:40):
thought it would, but not doing terribly. But bringing her
into the picture is bringing in a cannon. It is
a hose pipe of celebrity, a hose pipe of power
which brings us through our pole. Question of the day,
Curtis is going to be using Jennifer as bait, some
people say, to sell his new book. It's one hundred

(06:02):
dollars a ticket to see Jen and Jim. But let's
be honest, we're going to see Jen. You get a
free book. Is this smart which I think Donnie thinks
or is it sketchy which you think I might think. Okay,
go vote on our Twitter ex page. I had naughty
nice rab Facebook page is naughty gossip And be sure

(06:25):
to check that tomorrow to hear your results. Hey, Donnie,
what are you working on?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Oh, mister Adam Levine, So maroon Adam Levine. So you
know there was that whole sexting scandle that he has,
but you know what he's really come around, had a
whole reckoning and saved his marriage to Bahati Prince Law.

(06:52):
So that's there been twelve years of marriage, and you know,
although he's still living with the fallout from it, because
that never really goes away. There's always going to be
about when you're mad because he didn't pick up his clothes,
I'm gonna get your clothes over there, and remember when
you were sexing those ladies. But she forgave him because
she genuinely loves him, and he, as you know, reportedly

(07:14):
worked very hard on putting his family first, putting his ego.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
To the side. I think it also helps as you
get older and as.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
You start to learn that, you know, Maroon five isn't you.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Know, the biggest you know right there, and you're not
on the voice anymore as much, right you start to
do okay, cool. But here's the thing. So I interviewed
Adam I think maybe three months ago. Genuinely lovely guy.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Free, that's so too good. I have a friend who
works on the voice who said he was the most difficult.
They said he was always the last to set. He
always was the one that was complaining. I can't read
my teleprompter. I need this change. It's too hard. It's
too cold. They said Adam was a little bit of
a diva, but maybe he's changed after this sexting scandal.

(08:09):
He nearly lost his family, he nearly lost his wife.
Goal she's the one that decided to give him another chance,
and it is nice to see that he's taken that
very seriously. It's not taking it for granted. Often these people,
these fools that are court cheating, doing something awful, They
get away with it and they do it again. I
think getting court is maybe the best thing that ever

(08:30):
happened to Adam because now he has had to reassess.
He's had to really think about the priorities in his life,
who he loves, what is important. These lifestyles of rich
and famous people, it all looks beautiful to outsiders, but
when you live that life it can be very lonely.
Fame and money is nice, but you're still sitting in

(08:51):
your clothes in your apartment. It might be nicer clothes,
it might be a nicer apartment, but it's still you
are still a human being. You go to the bathroom,
you eat, you get low like people are the success
to life, not money. Don't get me wrong. You need
money to pay your bills. I am not saying that
you can just survive on love. You can't. You need both.
Adam has had to really think about this. And it's

(09:14):
nice to hear Donnie that you did interview him just
weeks ago and he was a really nice place. I
think he's a very attractive man. I don't like the tattoos.
What do you think you love a tattoo?

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I do? Oh, and person very attractive.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Very attractive, very sharp appeal, he does. I've met him
and he was like sparkling. He was like a champagne.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
He was bubbly.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I get it. I do get it. And this is
nice to hear that he learned the thank goodness. And
I hope you didn't sex. I'm more worried about you
than him. Okay, moving forward, Lady Gagar has dropped another
big hint about her wedding. So her manager, her longtime manager,
a real nice guy, Bobby Campbell, got married. She was

(10:00):
at the wedding. I do like this. It's the opposite
of a Taylor Swift wedding. Daga just sat there. She
didn't sing, she didn't do vow, she didn't get up
at the officiate the wedding. It was a beautiful wedding.
I told it was in Los Angeles. She didn't take
that microphone, however, she was telling people that she's next. Well,

(10:20):
she's been with her boyfriend, hasn't she, Michael for a
long time? And so do you think there's been a
few rumors? Do you think that the fact they haven't
rushed into a wedding, do you think that means anything?
Or no? They're just they're busy people. She's busy. He
makes his own money. Is that what it is? What

(10:42):
do you think? Yes?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I mean, but some people though wedding in marriage isn't
you know, isn't for them?

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Goldie horn not a priority, just like.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It's an add on to the relationship, and so when
it happens, it happens a lot of time anymore, though
a lot of people do just for the legalities of it.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
That's right. Brit and I are married for love, but
also to as gay men legally, we wanted to make
sure that we were protected. God forbid something happens to
another person. And so I love Gaga. I love she
has a fella. I love that she went to her
manager's wedding, and I love that she went as a guest,
not as a superstar. She did not try to steal

(11:25):
the spotlight. This was not a tailor swift extravaganswa. This
was a beautiful internet wedding. Hey, I love this story.
Resio Donald is revealing lots and lots of stuff. So
she's back in the US. She has an off Broadway
one woman show, and then I think she's coming out
to La to host Jimmy Kimmel for a week. She's
on the cover of People magazine revealing some shocking, shocking information.

(11:50):
What did she have to say?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
She goes on to obviously leg of their own.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Oh, I love that movie. Davil Madonna, yeahd in Baseball,
Tommy Hanks, oh, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
And Rosie o'donald was in it.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm Rosie cit Yes, it's a bit shady that she
was a mob listening.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
The fourth best part of that movie.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
However, now she's revealing.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
That Penny Marshall, who was the director, Yes, she came out.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
She said that Penny told her that she needed to
urge her to lose twenty pounds you the role. Obviously
she didn't. And but here's the thing, though, I was like,
I always look at that movie and I go to
me that was part of Rosie's character where she lost
the little because and I look at it now, I
don't think Rosie was over. She didn't look big to

(12:53):
me at all in that film.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
That's right. Yes, I think this chart and that TV
show she had. I watched it every day. Oh I
used to love and seeing somebody sitting behind the desk
that looked like us, that looked like the rest of us.
I think that was the secret success. I think Penny
has this all wrong. I have so much respect for
her work. Oh my goodness, that League of It. It's
a beautiful movie. She directed it. It's fantastic. But I

(13:20):
think that movie worked because there were so many different types.
There was different types of personalities, different types of bodies. Everything.
Just a fantastic movie. Rosie. It's lovely to have you back,
it really is. She looks great. She talked about she's
had a lower face lift, she's lost the little weight.
Although she's not a skinny minute she didn't become Sharon Osborne,
and so I think she had that face. I think

(13:42):
I support I honestly, I root for her. I might
go and see her play next week with our friend
Nicki Gustin, okay, quickly before we go to break disaster. Ever,
at the Today Show, so I reported on my sub
stack that they are now America's number two morning show.
GMA has shot into first position. That's big. Then, while
GMA is enjoying this fabulous rain as the number one

(14:04):
show in America, guess who took a day off? Savannah,
Craig and El. That is just sloppy planning. That is
just bad when you have a show that has three stars, Savannah,
Al and Craig. I get it. We goodness knows. With Savannah,
there's been a lot going on and we totally have

(14:24):
respect and nothing but best wishes for Savannah. But the
other two hosts, Al Craig suck it up while Savannah's off.
I can't have a show in the morning that I
turn on and I don't recognize any of the phases
any of them. I think it's not right over there.

(14:44):
They've got to be careful, Donnie, because they are no
longer the number one show. Now is the time when
they should be putting their foot on the gas pedal,
not taking it off. I was thought this was just
the silly, bad planning. I'm just gonna put it down
to that. Obviously. Once again, we have nothing but kind,

(15:06):
really respectful thoughts for Savannah. But Craigan ol all three
of you being off on the same day, that is
just not smart. Okay, We're gonna take a quick break
and we will be right back. Welcome back to the
naughty but Naisha, I'm your hands from Shooter, trying not
to race through the gossip. Dondy. Sometimes you make me

(15:27):
talk too fast because you get me all excitable, all angry,
all positive, all every emotion. Donnie, you press my buttons,
and so today I'm taking it much slower. Hey, let's
get to the pills. Too fast, done too fast? No,
it's perfect, okay. Last year, we talked about Blake Lively

(15:49):
facetiming Ryan Reynolds from the World Cup after the Tailor
Swift wedding snubber? Does it feel desperate? And Blake, I
think I'd go away for six months. Were so sick
of Blake Lively, were so sick even if Taylor Swift,
Taylor's gone away. Taylor could have got tickets to that
football game, she could have, she didn't. Did you have

(16:10):
to be there? Blake? I get your husband Ryan owns
the football team in Britain. I get that, but he
wasn't there, so why are you there and this new
girl squad she's taking pictures of. I don't quite buy it.
I've got a cracking story today on my substack that
Blake's not getting as good at tickets with that Taylor.

(16:30):
When you turn up with Taylor Swift, you get on
the face when you don't bring Taylor a little further back.
She wasn't on camera, she wasn't in the VVVP section.
But my question was do you think it all looks
a bit desperate? Eighty two percent said yes, I think

(16:52):
I agree with you. Don't forget to vote on today's
poul go to a Twitter paget x page. I had
naughty nice rob our Facebook page which is a naughty
gossip and be sure to check that down to hear
your results. And that it's time for Nicest of the day.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
All the nicest of the day, Mad Damon.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
I love him, Oh love him?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
It only if he could, you know, help Ben out
in the old relationship. He's revealing the secret of his
twenty year marriage.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Says that it's the greatest thing.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
In his life.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
His wife Lucian.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
He says, the secret is love, respect and trust and
unwavering trust. Because here's the thing, Oh, we all know
these relationships always gossip Matt Damon, no gossip about his relationship,
no sex scandals in the background, nohing, no cheat.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
No no very.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
It almost seems boring.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
But that's that's okay, that's cool. See if I have
a huge crush on Matt Damon, Bruce thinks he's very dull.
I love Matt Damon. I fear, Donnie, I fear it's true.
But if I had to ask you to pick between
Ben and Matt, you might go with Ben. You like
the excitement, you like the mad boys.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
I like him out there smoking at three now, And.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's why that's why you single and are married. Everybody
finds yourself a Matt Damon. Well, well thy yourself a
if a Matt Damon appeared in your life, Donna, would
you give it a chance? If it was Mad Damon,
You're awful, that's the question. You're a monster. Okay, let's
do naughty to day. Naughty naughty. It's Jelly Roll's daughter

(18:50):
who is teasing that she has a secret about the
divorce that she said is gonna make the Internet crumble.
Her name is Bailey Anne, and she is sparking speculation
on She's eighteen years old. So initially she was really
angry that everybody was talking about this divorce. Now she's
promoting it herself. Really, she's using this divorce to get attention,
to get people to talk about it. It is just

(19:13):
the oddest thing. As our friend Wendy used to say,
say it like you mean it, Say it like you
mean it, and if you don't mean it, don't say it.
I'm naughtyus of the day. Let's end with a moment
of rob Fear or faith. The choice is yours. Fear
and faith have something surprising in common. Both ask you

(19:37):
to believe in something you cannot see. Fear convinces you
that the worst thing is just around the corner. Faith
tries to make you believe that something better is possible. However,
neither one is proof. Neither can promise the future, but
each can shape how you walk towards it. So every

(20:00):
you get to make the choice. You decide what deserves
your attention. If you feed fear, your world's going to
get smaller. If you feed faith, the possibilities begin to
appear now. When I'm talking about faith here, it is
not religious faith. This is faith in yourself. This is
faith in life, this is faith in you. Naughty is

(20:24):
fear or faith? You decide. Hey, that is it for today.
