Speaker 1 (00:06):
You're listening to prop culture. Hello, this is loop back
from lut for Adventurers. You'll never guess what I am? Um,
you guys want a guess Cuckoo for Coco buffs from
an n F Welcome, Quirky, Hello, Quirkies three oh seven,
(00:27):
Good day mate, balls like Jagger. Hey there, We're here
to make friendly wagers on current events as dictated by
the missive. Just do to arrive any moment. What a
great conceit that is the missive. It's sort of like
a red herring. You know. People don't realize that the
missive is actually one of our producers. And the miss
of is constantly whispering an earlier the ball rolland move
(00:49):
on to the next subject. All right, the next subject?
Right now? We got Joan Rivers passes away. And it's
not actually a piece of paper. It's not digital like
Luke says it is. It's a guy. It's an overweight
guy from Tennessee who helps us make our show. Ah.
He drinks a lot of ball bombs. Do you ever
have a vall bomb? No? Is it a Yager macester
(01:12):
mixed with beru mixed with vodka. Very good, guests. Now
it's orange vodka mixed with Red Bull served at The
Rooster in Knoxville, Tennessee. And I'll tell you what that's
gonna be the drink of Thanksgiving coming up right. That's
only one day though, bombs. No Thanksgiving season. I love
(01:36):
Thanksgiving season starts really the Thursday before Thanksgiving officially starts
Thanksgiving in the last till the following Monday after Thanksgiving.
The Male Quirkies and I we Wins observed for the
film bros By William Mike. I completely forgot that's the
most important subject of this. That is that's part of
(01:57):
squewn Up due to Boom Boom squared Up team. That's
a placeholder. I don't have the actual music. I forgot
what what was my segment called? I don't know? Don't
you listen to the show back so you remember these things?
No pre existing condition. Right after we got out of
the theater, we have recordings of our immediate impressions of
(02:18):
the film on a scale of one to ten rating.
And then we went out on the street and I
was like, hey, have you seen pros? And someone I
put the mic in their face. They're like no, and
I said watch it and I walk away okay, so
this is a wager strictly between Quirk and myself. Correct
and I am going to I am going to suggest
(02:39):
something though, because quirkies three o seven and I spent
money and time doing had to eat lots of popcorn,
and we had lots of popcorn. We had to go
to one of those machines that where He's hates where
you have to make your own soda mints because buttons them.
I tried to get a couple of teens were on
a date to see all of weeens ends and they're like, oh,
(03:01):
are you here with your parents? And the guy said,
uh no, they just dropped of off and I said, oh,
it's okay there with us, and the guy was like, oh, okay,
can we see the ticket for the movie? You're gonna
see it? And we were gonna go see Bros. Of
course I couldn't get them into the Halloween end. Said
guys like, oh, this is your dad or whatever, and
then yeah, yeah, they were totally playing along with us,
So like dude, the dude was like nineteen, It's like, yeah,
(03:24):
now that I can watch rated our movies, I'm not
gonna let anyone out or what happened, and the guy
wouldn't The guy wouldn't let him in if you wouldn't
let him in because they had we had different movie tickets.
Fucking asshole. Yeah really they check that. Yeah, they wouldn't
let them in even after. But I'm just saying we
should get an above and beyond bonus for going above
and beyond. And I know it might cause inflation, but
(03:47):
I think both me and Quirkysroo seven should get twenty
dollars added to our total for the above and beyond bonus. Now,
I will say Quirky is kind of has the upper
hand for me because I did talk about this film
at length with you, But you never know because like
you and I have such different numbering numbering systems. Yeah,
I don't think I'm at an advantage here and use
(04:09):
a base twelve system. No, I don't use a base
twelve system. It's just that my um, I feel a
Quirky Streio of seven likes everything because when he's like,
oh it was okay, he gives it um a higher
number that I think. So, so I am at a
disadvantage here. I think that convinced of my bets, who
wants to go first Loot or I should go first. Uh,
(04:32):
you're welcome to if you'd like. I'm not going to
change my vote. Okay, So I believe Falls gave a ten,
while Quirky through some give Escape a seven. Okay, and
the Loot. I think you're going to be careful not
to rate this too highly because you don't want to
come across as a sucker. But I think you both
genuinely liked it. But still I think that you're both cinophiles. Uh,
(04:55):
so I'm gonna say that Quirkies Quirkies three seven. We'll
have given this six, and Balls has given this a seven.
Here we are in Balls like Jagger's car. After seeing
the movie, Bros. Hello Hello, And I gotta say it
was a fun I had a fun time going to
the movies. It's nice to be in a movie theater, especially.
(05:15):
You're right, this theater is great. It's comfy, it's quiet
and clean. Um. But it was a kind of a
classic romantic comedy formula. And I will say that I
think as a leading man, Billy Eichner is lacking in charisma.
He's not he and and because of that, you feel
lack of chemistry. I think it's not his fault. He
(05:36):
can't act. But I will say that balls like Jagger
left almost the entirety of the movie. Well, I try
and left have a good time every single joke. Basically,
that's something in my I've tried to not be cynical
and roll my eyes unless I really feel it. And
and I already told you I teared up twice, which
I think is mind blowing because I felt absolutely no
(05:58):
emotional connection to it because it just felt like a
classic Hollywood formula with the music and everything. That music
was all garbage music. It's true. Anyway, I did think
it was funny, though I did laugh. That said my
final score for this. Let's say it on three okay, one, two, three, four? Yes,
(06:29):
I told you, like I I don't know, like you said,
I heard from Quirkies through seventh that he cried, okay,
I peered up as different they cried Okay, yeah you cried.
So that sounds like, okay, I've just gotta go high
here because it's different. I watched I watched What's the
(06:50):
One We Didn't say a sob Brussel Crowe, the one
who loses his brain? That made me cry, And yeah,
I think, I think, yeah, I think because yeah, because
I went way too high like you. Yeah, yours was
closer to the actual ratings that the biggest Thanksgiving season.
I'm going to give dollars from all of us because
(07:11):
you're close. Which we get the twenty above and beyond bonus? Right,
I don't know, we'll see. Well, hang on, I love
what he does. Hello, who is it? Oh Roger, do
a dove and drop it near the Tellyts British salute.
You're been having a terrible habit of Americans trying to
(07:34):
make a British accent, and the British are always like, no,
it's terrible. Yeah, we should have patience with British because
their queen died. Yeah, yeah, just go easy on the
poor bridge. They've been through a lot um that somebody
says it's gonna be a great trivia question. Who was
prime minister when the queen died? I mean Liz Trussell Trust.
(07:56):
Now you're thinking of dunk dunking Trust, Liz Trussell's family hour.
Did someone make a bet that Liz Trust would never
curtsy again as prime Minister? I guess so? Yeah, now
she's not prime minister. We exposed to her in prop
culture and m and as the number one podcast in
the n f T realm. That was the end up
(08:16):
Culture roasted me. I am stepping down, quirkies. You're in
that terrible habit of Americans doing bad British impressions. Oh
fuck off in it, missus here, dear lut bag, and
the rest existence continues to be a gamble here. Today's
(08:39):
topics fine dining, dining, dining. I don't if you guys
remember this, but I used to dying quite frequently with
balls like Jagger. Yeah, but I stopped because he didn't
make eye contact with the staff. Well, why would you
look up at someone who's beneath you? See, that's that
the attitude that you have towards I was raised in
(08:59):
a royal family. Don't go to Balthazar because you'll be banned.
But I thought it was balls like Jaggers Bizarre, Balls
like Jagger at Bizarre. That's weird because I was just
telling my friend James, go there. You can treat them
however the funk you want, and that you'll get what
you want. If you yell at them and they ban you,
you apologize, you eat for free. That's how that place works.
(09:21):
Bal Fazar Balazar. Yeah, why, like, why would anybody go
to a restaurant named Baldassar. It's a famous New York
restaurant because they have traditional French fair it's it actually
doesn't seem good. Whenever I see any what they make
at Balthazar, I'm not interested. They have snails. It's good.
I've been there. It's really good. Street. You're never gonna
(09:46):
You're gonna be banned. They're going to ban you for
saying that that's good. Well, I'm gonna go to the
coast to Brittany and have muscles. So is that one
of the hottest restaurants in New York City? I'm curious.
It's a classic New York b stro that's been around
the eighties. Meryl Streep used to go all the time,
Michael Jordan's been, Calvin Klein, Yeah yeah, I mean for
(10:07):
Calvin Client, it's like, you know, his local diner or something.
It's a giant place that looks sort of brassy and weathered,
like an old bistro. But it's open early for breakfast
and stays open really late, so it's like always open almost.
So James Cordon went in there and raised hell about
funked up omlet he got, his wife got, the owner
called him out on it, publicly banned him. How fucked
(10:29):
up was the omelet? I mean we say it was
an egg yolk comlet and there was a little right,
like a little yeah, well, I mean that's not an
egg oll comlet. And then his wife, James Cordon's wife goes, Jim,
you know I hiked egg. Apologize all three of you
have the British accent disease. Fuck off, saw it off.
(10:55):
I've got a body second. But he apologized when he
got called out, and then the owner said, oh, if
you come and apologize to the staff, you can eat
here forever. But he didn't. For the rest, as far
as I understand, I want to do what Yeah that's fun, Yeah,
tonight show host or whatever? You know. You know, I could,
I could put I could kidnap people, make them sing
(11:16):
in a car. But he did not make a public
apology because it seems like the entire world was offended
by this, because everyone started coming out with other stories
of James Cordon being a dip shit. Really so James
Corden was on his road to being canceled over this, Yes,
but just canceled for being a dip shit. Ellen canceled. Yeah,
and Ellen cancel. I mean it was that he was
(11:37):
on his way to becoming Ellen canceled because these things
like like snowball, um, like one person complained, another person complaint,
did a follow up interview, and he didn't didn't go
that way. Really apparently, Oh my god, a shoe at him,
like George Bush. Yeah, someone, yeah, someone threw a shoe
Iraqi's top of the statue of James. That would be sick.
Well guess what so the but will be Will Jeemes
(12:01):
Cribs still be in the States in six months you
think house? You know, I'm just saying, I mean, you know,
like James Squirrel will be so feel so unwelcomed in
the States that he might just be like I'm gonna
go to a cottage. He's gonna waddle back to Liz
Trusses crumbling Empire. I've seen James Cordon shot upon by
internet heavy people all the time for years, and they
(12:23):
always say as an asshole. There's always comments and comments
and comments, and he's still on the air and whatever
that happens. All the British people the comments who are
commenting and these are you know, a selective sample of
each UH group. But the British people like you guys
keep them. We don't want him back, So I don't
think this is gonna change ship. I think he makes
enough money with women over forty who like watching people
(12:45):
do karaoke and remind them that celebrities exist. Will he
apologize to the servers and eat for free for the
rest of the year, I mean publicly? Will you? I
think you'll do it on the show Wow. And if
I had more money in my account, if I out
this going above and beyond bonus, I would bet my going.
And you don't at Wow, You're about to get cleaned
(13:06):
out on this show. I think you're running a little
bit low. I'm having fun. I'm playing my bet. I
think he will address it on the show, but I
don't think he'll apologize on the show. I do think
he'll make a joke about it, though. You don't think
he'll do a remote apologize James at Balton. He might okay,
he might okay, he might apologize privately, and there might
be rumors about it, but I don't think he'll apologize publicly.
(13:26):
I could see him just not addressing it because it's
part of his pattern of behavior. That's my opinion. I'm
gonna say, yes, what a great PR opportunity for both
if it really works, well, well, yeah, I wonder if
you are going to al Fazar to get this. I'll
miss on. I'll be Bull's bizarre after like making it
up with them? Is this is Keith McNally friends with
(13:46):
James Cordon and they're just all doing this for some
PR stunt together. Yeah, croissants, what's going on? I don't know.
I made James Cordon looks like a tool. Yeah, but
maybe James Cordon so used to look in like a
tool that he's like, I don't even get the fuck. Yeah.
Maybe that was a terrible bet, but you know, I
just made my bed. Whatever. What's your bet? Kay, I'm
betting he will apologize publicly to the servers. Our bets
(14:10):
are in lock it in Ching Taylor Crash, Spotify, did
you guys? Were you guys downloading? I did listen to
the album within probably minutes of it coming out on
Apple Music, though, how else it? And honestly it kind
(14:31):
of felt like Realie Eilish light. Well yeah, yeah, this
might be cut out, but I kind of feel Taylor
Swift must heat really Eilish because um, what I saw
I cut out. I don't know. I mean just you
know we're not. This is really controversial, yeah, but I
do feel was so when Billie Eilish's hit album came out,
(14:54):
I personally felt, wow, this is what Taylor Swift wanted
to do with the Reputation album, but Billy I nailed it,
so um yeah. Reddit says that Billy is a darker, grittier,
sad songwriter and Taylor is the later, more hopeful, said songwriter,
so she's the light. There's an insult that I see
online these days that I think is harsh every time
(15:14):
I read it, but I'm gonna repeat the insil here
in regard to Taylor Swift. Taylor fell off. Shake it off, dude,
shake it off, and she would and I love shake
it off with all of my being. But that's because
you think about her shaking her clothes off. No, I
don't think of No, it's not think of me overcoming
and shaking your clothes off. You shake your clothes off.
(15:35):
When the music comes on, I just go vibrates, my
soul gets strong, and I feel my haters just falling
by the waist. Were your haters? I have a lot
of haters. I the guy in Dr Funky and the
comments on our Apple Music Reviews section. Right, So, Taylor
crash Spotify obviously a big deal for both. Probably a
(15:58):
pretty cool pr story. Yeah, um, I wonder if it's real.
Do you think Spotify crashed on purpose? I mean if
if if they said the new prop Culture is coming
out Wednesday at three pm, right, millions of teens are,
you know, sitting on their phones and their computers waiting
(16:18):
to download it, and it crashed and we put out
an article the next day say prop Culture crash Spotify.
We'd be like, yeah, it would be fucking sick if
we crashed. Yeah, yeah, right, could you imagine? So whether
or not, how do you know if it's real? We
had to use your gut, and my gut is that
(16:39):
it was real. I think enough people in the world
were bored when the album came out and they said,
I want to listen to this ship. I think that
it's I think it's bullshit, and I'm gonna find an
article that supports me. Well, in this case, I agree
with Luke. I know her is She's popular, but most
of her fan base is millennials. I haven't really seen
a zoom who was really into her. Um, I just
(17:02):
don't think there are enough like numbers of people to
take down Spotify. UM with our new album, it's yet
pre existing condition. Thank you qu this idea? How many
current listeners on Spotify? Oh? Do you uh you need
(17:22):
me to look at We'll have a follow up like
double or nothing on Billy? Do you want to calibrate
at all with any other artist or no? Okay, well,
just a cold and how many monthly listening to say?
Right now? Eight point seven million monthly listeners? Eight point
seven so monthly listeners and overall listeners. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
(17:44):
Eighteen million monthly listeners. Eighteen million monthly listeners. Wow, what
a crazy jump. It makes me think you have no idea?
Eighteen million? Anybody else? Yeah? Yeah, I think I go
over with sixty million six d We're getting crazy. I'll
(18:04):
do twenty three point six. I'll do thirty one million. Okay,
now let's look this up. Hey lord, how do you
spell Taylor t A I L E R T E
l t R Okay, I said eighteen million? Yeah, it's
higher then who came next point five, I think higher. Okay,
(18:29):
you're out loot higher. What do you say you went over?
It's fifty eight million? Who that's really close, but you
were very close. I think you get the money. Quorks
seven should get it an above and beyond bonus too, Well,
don't get above and beyond. But you know I was
pretty close. You get the money. Who's working? Her? Mom? Mom?
(18:53):
I said sixty million because they remembered wholdaly at fifty millions?
I couldn't. I couldn't remember any of the I couldn't. Yeah,
I was just like, it has to be higher than
cold Place. I will say, here's something to consider. Balls
like Jagger is currently at ten dollars. Oh man, how
about one for fun? How many monthly listeners does Billy
(19:16):
Eichner have? It's just for fun because Billy Eichner has
a two thousand thirteen single called Glittering Ribs. Oh my God.
It also appears on the Lion Sleeps Tonight from the
Lion Kings soundtrack. Changes that changes? Now, this is just
(19:38):
for fun. Give me your numbers, boys and girls. Three million,
I'd say, like twelve thousand. I don't know. I was
gonna say sixteen and you're all wrong the numbers nine
hundred and seven thousand, seven thousand. I was pretty, I'm
not close. No, it's it's glittering ribs. Mostly. Though, an
(20:03):
odd trend in the Bros. Movie that we didn't mention
her review is how many times people pointed out he
was attractive, I'm not pretty. They'd like, no, you're handsome
as heck, and it was like, what why do you
keep saying this man? All right? So nobody won that
bet Well, that one was just for fun. That was
just for fun. We could do you want to do? Now?
We did? We did Billy Eichner, Do you want to do?
(20:23):
Billie Eilish? I'm going with Taylor? Was what I think?
Fifty eight million? I'm going thirty eight Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's close to min Yeah, that's gonna be a hard one.
I was gonna say, I'm gonna say, uh million, I
canna say thirty five million. You're saying fifty five million? Balls,
(20:47):
he's here out, you're out. I'll go to thirty three
because I think I'll be around that. I don't know,
Oh what do you say? Balls fifty eight? The closest
is balls forty nine million? Six d. I've got twenty
(21:14):
dollars to my name, and that's all that matters. You
got forty, bitch, Really, I got the above and beyond. Luke,
you have a hundred and thirty Ye ship work, he's
as to twenty. Oh my god, my gos, how did
I get so much money? And I have ten dollars?
(21:35):
You have ten dollars? Yeah, so like you're about to cry?
Are you cry? I didn't want to tell you, guys,
you wanted to make fun of me, but you can
the same tell you it's insecure because I'm afraid that
you're gonna do a pre existing condition and it's going
to get me kicked off the show. Yeah. Witching season seasons,
(21:56):
Halloween season, we talked about what are going to be
the most popular sween costumes. I still think Jeffrey Dahmer
is going to be a very popular cost People are
talking about how it's not okay to wear a Jeffrey
Dahmer Halloween costs. Well, that's that's proof that is somewhat popular.
Did you see the daycare ladies scaring the little kids
and now they're charged with the pilone. It's kind of funny.
(22:19):
They have the screen masks on at the daycare and
they're getting in the kids faces and screaming and the
kids are going apeshit. I think anyone will dress up
as Black Adam. Don't know what Black Adam looks like?
The rock in a on his chest. How do you
dress up like the Rock? I mean he takes a
very specific body type. Bald head wigs never look good. Well.
(22:40):
I think all I've seen promoting the movie on Twitter
is like a random Twitter account has been promoted by
tweeting a compliment. So I don't think the movie. I
think the movie is gonna bomb. It's gonna bomb. I
think it's gonna bomb hard pre existing condition. Okay. According
to bill Board dot Com, they have the top twenty
(23:03):
five most popular costumes. Is that a new thing that
Billboard does? They just ranked? I don't know, but Billboard
dot com, what is the number one costume for two?
Say it again? What is the number one most popular
costume for Billboard? Does a Billboard dot com? It's an
(23:27):
article Killer Swift, It's it's an article ten nine eight seven.
I'm gonna say it's Margo, Robbie Barbie, Ryan goslike thing three.
I think this grace temporary Attorney General Jeff Rosen one
(23:48):
the number one most popular costume. I'm Billboard dot Com.
I'm back in the game. It's a witch you you're
in a game? Yes, okay, Well then I've got a
premium existing condition. Oh god, what did Damien Hurst do?
(24:09):
And he says he's threatened to do again, make dots
like as like dots as paintings. What did he put
his paintings in an oven or something? He burned his paintings.
Nine seven pressed ham at a big bus of school
children like the dot. He'll make the dot paintings again. Yeah,
(24:32):
no quirkies through ou seven is right. He burned a
thousand of his paintings, and it says he's going to
burn thousands more, like saying I keep up with the
art world. This is the fun of prop culture. Lando
(24:55):
Lando lovely song, Thank you. It's called Lando Lando. But
it's all about celebrity real estate. Not Lando Calorisian at
(25:18):
Lando Lakes, butter This male, hot male celebrity just bought
a house in Los Angeles for eleven million dollars from
Kate Upton. And this is a pre existing condition. Who
is this hot? May this hot male attractive or trendy, trendy.
(25:39):
Can you give us some any sort of clue of
some sort clue has he been accused of? Where? Where
is the house? The house is in Beverly Hill. Yeah,
and it's eleven million dollars. So that's why I'm saying
he is hot right now? He is you say hot sexually,
sexually and clearly. I mean movies. If you had you
(25:59):
had a list still like Hall Passes, would he be
on it? Ten? Oh? Ship? Nine? Uh? I know, I
can't think anyone. I'm blanking sixth. I will say Billy
Eichner is right now, but I don't think he. I
(26:19):
think he's in New York. I'm gonna say he give
us another ten seconds because I was thinking Paul Sorvino,
but he passed away. I was thinking Paul Newman, but
I think he passed away, took ship. I was gonna say, Paul, Paul,
Ryan Reynolds. I'm gonna buy ten more seconds. It's wrongs,
(26:45):
Donald Glover. Okay, done, Okay, I got like all these
guests from you, like gay a little more attention like
the movie scene. Okay, don't get condescended. No, it's Timothy
Shallow may Ah I don't believe he's not on your
hall pass. No, he's not, like and he's like sixteen. Yeah,
(27:07):
well he's like twenty two now, but you know what,
he was sixteen, gobble gobble. We're approaching Thanksgiving season, as mentioned,
these knuckleheads on Earth on this spinning rock, big blue
marble humans, they're real upper arms. Because of the price
(27:31):
of the opposite turkey, it's a real thing to be
concerned about. I think it is because what do people eat?
Mostly chicken. Also, there is there's an avian flu that
is just decimating the poultry market. I mean, what's gonna
happen to chick fil A? That was a big question.
(27:52):
I like Chick fil A. What's gonna happen to Chick
fil A with all the poultry prices going up? Well,
the big concern now is that it's approaching Thanksgiving season
and everyone buys one thing to buy a pumpkin and
Halloween Thanksgiving, they're gonna buy a turkey and the ship
is going through the get them now while they're frozen guys,
before they jack the price. That's what I'm saying. I'm
(28:15):
also I'm concerned about the Michelin rated Yakatori restaurants in
New York City that I'm planning to visit. Are they
going to run out of birds before I get there?
And check all your poultry to see if someone's not
like done an inflate gate on it and like put
air in it to make it look bigger than it is.
That's a good idea. Actually, you might make a balloon bird,
you know, and then you didn't know because they froze
(28:35):
the air in it prexisting condition. How much does a
turkey cost per pound right now, right now, fresh hoole butterball,
all natural turkey, right now, right now? How much does
it cost? Say, yeah, I'm gonna stay closer to three
dollars though, uh right now listen, let me see how much?
(28:57):
Where is this that to what which story you talk? Yeah,
that's very important. No, it's the national United States national
average average retail price for a frozen turns a frozen
turn Culture Department Weekly Turkey Report. This is the accutely
(29:18):
well here's the thing, though, those are those reflect lower
than the usual average price because the government usually wants to,
you know, make things adjust your bad accordingly. This is
according to this one one additional clue before we lock
it in. The price this week is up. Okay, well
(29:42):
now I'm going to that may change. Now I'm staying
up for we're going propound. I'm thinking the last time
I looked at chicken prices years ago. No, I just
closed my eyes and randomly grab it then keep it
just because I remember. Frozen turkey speaks so much cheaper.
The average retail price for a frozen turkey is doll
(30:03):
losers three lose. I'll take all your money and with
that we say goodbye to balls like Jaggers zero dollars.
What about my above and beyond bone m that wasn't
officially approved, squandered it, wasted it. You're gonna have to
(30:25):
take out a loan if you want to company. Thank
you for let me be part of the podcast. Paid.
I think you brought a lot broad Yeah, that was like,
seriously one of the best memories of my life. And
