Speaker 1 (00:19):
Podcast starts now, what's up everyone around the globe? But
the vibes are already electric. It's Friday, it's sunny as fuck.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's Friday in Los Angeles, and I'm living out loud.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
I want to say, I'm feeling so electric. George is
in town still and it is so nice.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
You know what we never did speaking of Los Angeles
is the game that I invented heim Lick never caught on,
which is where you say three things and then you
have to decide which one's the Dannielheim, which one is
the STI him, and which one is the Alanaheim.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well, I think we're not dead yet, and I think
we can play it today.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah, and I also I know that you thought of
the name heim Lick, and I like it.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
But I'm like, yeah, you thought of you thought of it.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
What if it's heim Pick because you're picking one to
be each of the sird I mean not.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
To be we're talking about Hollywood hand Book. I think
you're a Hollywood handood pill and you're really zeroing in
on some puns in a way.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Though, Oh, that's try'd being very well.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I do want to make it public that I am
officially Hollywood Handbook pill me too. When we went into Hollywood,
which if you're listening to this, maybe that hasn't come out.
We did Hollywood Handbook. I went and I said, first
of all, this is a competition, and second of all,
I'm winning.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I said, just let them win.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
I know these straight.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Guys are bigger than me, they're better than me. Let
them have their fun.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
When we were like sparring, like when Hayes was like
clearly being sort of like in a funny way, mad
at me, I was like, you think I'm going to
back down.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
You have it all wrong, my fe You're so good
at conflict.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I normally in all I'm going to come in a
normal episode, I would say, let's intro, intro, intro. No,
we have such an amazing guest who I'll say it
has been knocking on our door for roughly one hundred years.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
She woman who works in entertainment technically, but you never
really known.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think she may be is a cinematographer or something.
I don't really know much about her.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
It's given grip. She is the biggest. She is the
biggest grip bitch down.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Please wow.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And I just want to say I know we're edging
you by not actually saying your name. The fact that
Sam is the one who wants to cut the intro
short is huge. Usually I'm the one that wants to
cut the intro short, and Sam, you know, as conflict
a versus you can be, is like, no, we're doing
the intro.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Please welcome what Darcy is it's.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, Darcy cardon the biggest grip.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
That's I want to say, for a grip. Your hair
looks phenomenal. Yeah, thanks, you did just it literally was
just done.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is that? Am I wrong?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Like you don't mean like from a salon?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I do? I do you yourself my hair?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Oh yes, but I've been and feel free to sound
off in the comments because they think I don't want them.
I feel like my hair is.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Okay. You know when you you.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
This, I think this is a classic thing that people
do as they get older. This was like good hair
ten years ago, and now I'm like, is this even
the style anymore? I know it's not.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well here's what I do.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I know exactly what we're like, Oh this looks good.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Great, I did it again, and then I walk out
and I'm like, exactly what.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You mean to me?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Please do not take this as a negative, because it
is a positive. Julio has a bit about how all
the women in Marvel movies have beach waves to like
soften the blow of the fact that they're spreading American imperialism.
And but but again, I don't mean that as an insult.
It's like, yeah, that's why they're beautiful.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Right right? As are you?

Speaker 5 (03:50):
Well?

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I do I like love, I love a this is
like what I feel like works for my head.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
But are you going to do have like an undercut?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Well, I mean you see, like there's just darter.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I think it's time for the octopus cut. It's the
octopu cut. You know what Gaga has, what Miley has, what.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Has Yes, I've never heard of it as.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
The banks and other banks, then longer you know our friend, Yeah,
the chops, streat chop, the straight chop, and then then
the long Yeah, Hayden dis just cut her hair like that.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Really, I was like, oh, yeah, it looks good. I
was like, you look like a celebrity.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
It's very celeb it's very celeb because it's hard.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, speaking of time, I remember st did it a
couple years ago. People have been doing it. People have
all of a sudden, like the Grammys, especially everyone.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
If it's the Grammys, you gotta do it.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
It's the Grammys and you're not.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Whether you're your Time or Selena or Selena Gomez says
it is, you have to do it.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
What is it called again? Octopus? The octopus cut?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I cannot believe.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I didn't. I didn't know that either.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Wow, now you're sitting here thinking, did you make that up?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Here's a question, what about it is octo?

Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's tentacles that it's not tentacles. That's I look at
that head, I see an octopus city on a head. Okay,
because it's tentacles, I see like I.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
See like a stair. Oh, it should be called the stairs.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Helmet helmets.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, it's helmet heads. Here's the bold cut though, Yeah,
helmet helmet banks, helmet banks, helmet banks.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Wait, okay, so do you have to have banks? You don't?
It could be yeah, I don't think you have to
hear it could be banks. And then second layer it
should be called like the three layer step three strip
on three strip throats and just make it makes sense
for you.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Can I tell you something now that we're naming things.
Recently I found out a close friend of ours.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I can't wait to hear off camera.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I want to know who it is right now.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, well we can a close friend of ours reveal
to me.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
A close friend of ours, by the way, is like.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
I I consider him very successful. He's written on some
great shows. He like, he's sort of by Coastal Diva,
very bravely by ghost. He literally revealed to me just
out of nowhere that this entire time he has held
a sometimes full time, sometimes part time job at The
New York Times as a naming specialist where he literally
like names games or like does work.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
With their podcast team Cool.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
And I'm like, that is so this, don't you think
that is the most rom com slash sext and city
boyfriend Josh. It's like being a cartoon editor at the
New York.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Being like a chocolate tear.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
He's being He's Julia.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's also like the rom com girl would say it
and nobody would really question totally.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
But it's also like he's a naming specialist, but he
doesn't want to put a label on.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Things cattle something I mean, even like I would, and
then when you do find only married, like the sequel,
when you're married to the naming specialist, and it's like
really tense because like they can't think of the name
for this thing, and they're like locked in the room
and you're taking care of the children and you're like, well,
he's in their naming. Meanwhile, I have to fucking bring

(07:12):
the kid to school. And obviously it's not as good
as the first one, but it's real.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
And it finally does think of the name. It's inspired
by the woman's name or like by the way it's
like Darcy Productions.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
He's like, and then he's like, yeah, it's always worth it.
I married a good one. I can't wait to hear
this is bumping back a minute, but I cannot wait
to hear your Hollywood hand Book. Oh my god, I
cannot wait.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
No, go ahead. Well, I don't feel like my performance
is amazing, and it's hard to.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Have to say it's hard to be amazing on that show.
It's so disorienting.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's so disorienting. Yeah, and I was also like, I
think they're so funny, and I was sort of like
trying to figure out, like I was like, do I
be combative agreeing.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
One of my favorite things listening to that podcast is
when you can tell the person is like, what are
we doing here?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
What do you want from this? Like?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
I asked my friend who's a religious listener, and she
was like, you have to be yourself and not try
to do them at them, because you seem like a
loser if you try to like do exactly what they're doing,
because they're going to be better at it.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
And then they'll then they'll like cut you off at
the knees and you'll, yeah, it's humiliating when they get you.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
I also want to say about my performance, and even
I want to of course, guys, I need to like
their third brother, I need to talk about my performance. Okay, okay,
And this is actually something that I've been thinking about because.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Actors on Actors, but for our podcomments on Hollywood hands
and you're the moderator and you haven't seen it, I
get I know it.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
So we also recorded here two days ago, so we've
been doing a lot of podcasting and normally, as you know,
when we do our podcast, we sit around a desk. Yeah, yeah,
I'm actually realizing that we're sitting on sort of a
set both here in Hollywood Handbook, and I'm feeling like
when Gaga and a Star is Born went into the
studio and they couldn't find it. Like she was like,

(09:11):
it doesn't sound the same, it doesn't sound the same.
And then Bradley Cooper's like, get a piano in here, totally,
and then she said, desk for you, piano desk.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
It's like a comfort or it's just like it's what
you know, it's what I know.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I know. I was.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I was telling them as I came in that I
was wearing kind of dumb socks, but had the thought,
it doesn't matter because we're going to be sitting behind
a guy damn.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Table lo and behold, no it's a new and don't wrong,
this is much better. But I'm finding my performance more confused.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, so if anyone not watching, it's like usually we're.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Around, we're taking a conversation and a.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Couch and armchair. Yes, so here's I have a theory
about this, please you know how like the definition of
Uncanny Valley is like just close enough to the real thing,
but slightly farther in a way that makes it almost worse.
So I think the fact that I set like this
is almost living room, but not a white living room
makes it more confusing than if you're just around a

(10:06):
completely artificial.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Desk in a conference room. Right, I think you're right, And.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
So I'm like, I'm like, should I sort of like
kick off my shoes and take my phone out.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
As I would like hiding my water?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Like yeah, I mean you have one of those trad
wife cuts. Wow, how long have you been sporting this.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
So long that look at it's not even it's not.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
It doesn't sit straight, it's not even level.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
I've been sporting this. So is this trad wife Well,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Someone said that to me once.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Then the one with the big handle, but this is closed.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
The built in straw freaks me out right. Well, mold,
of course, ship I never thought, but also.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Sorry, like you should be able to angle a straw
to get the last of the liquid?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
You kind of can. I can't have every last drop
of this. Let me listen, corner, Oh you can. Oh
you're right right, corner. Wow, what I found?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I did see.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
That's understanding of the media I found years ago. I've
been I've been, I've been on this for a while.
Is the straw helps me drink so much more water.
I hate this. I hate this, hate hate tilting. I
don't know what's up with my neck or throat or mouth,

(11:20):
but I hurt myself drinking a lot.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Really, I'm not kidding.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
I think so bad, not so bad, like just kind
of like like like if I'm well, For one, I
don't I don't know. I don't know. You only have
the mouth you have, so I don't know, and the
throat you have, and so I don't know what it's
like for other people. But I think I have a
hard time doing big swallows.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is great.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
I really like this because it's very celebrity to have
a super specific.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Like imagine like the.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Moment you're an actress on set and you like tilt
back and you.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
This is the weird thing. It's not even like I'm
pulling my neck. It's like inside my my swallowing mechanism.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Interesting.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
If I'm if I'm like listening, if I'm tilting this
when I drink, I'm like, oh, oh my poor little esophagus.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
What swallows? Sure?

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Anyway, what I found is if I'm just sitting here
looking at you, glug glug glug glug fucking day that's
like this, something happens, something I don't want to do this. Okay,
here's the other thing. This I can It can be
a constant swallow. This is one gould, one gold.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
That's very true. That's very thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, but you can hold it up.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
This is actually I can't, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
This is also.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Wow, this is so.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
This is why when I get an iced coffee, I
finish it in like two seconds. When I get a drip.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Coffee, well, I wish I had a straw.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Oh you don't have.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I don't have a straw with an ice.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, I guess I always wish I had.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Sam is doing sippy cup ice coffee right now again
for anyone just doing audio only.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I've actually recently been going out of my way to
get a straw from my coffees because I hate I
hate when the ice touches my mouth.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
Okay, that's your injury, little actress. How chea? Yeah, anyway,
I I I used to be on the set of
The Good Place, My My, My, My favorite two costume people.
They called me Contigo Girl because I had a contigo.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I guess I thought.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
That's great, But I guess I have a s l M,
a slim or something now, but I used to have
a contigo contigo and I, which is just a brand of.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
I think that's what I have. But did yours have
a straw?

Speaker 4 (13:48):
A straw? It's also it was plastic, and then you
know the whole thing, well, of course, and then all
of a sudden, I'm like, I'm drinking out of this thing.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't understand microplastic, but I know it's happening. I
do not understand wants, but I know it's happening. So
then I was like, you gotta go, you gotta go
medal anyway.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
So now I'm I mean, but I'm sure kidding me.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
The County Go girl they called, they call me, and I'm.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yes, yes, yes, everybody called me. I made everybody call
me County Go Girl.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I will say at work, I have we all. They
gave us all Stanley cups, which is like, you know,
you forget because everyone has one. They're sipping out of
your Stanley cup. But then sometimes a photo will leak
from work and someone will be like, you have a
Stanley cup and I'm like, well not not not exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I'm sorry by leak.

Speaker 3 (14:37):

or do you mean there's paparazzi in the after midnight?

Speaker 1 (14:42):

to figure out what little pun will be coming off tonight.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
How do they write it, how do they do it?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
What are they doing that there, Georgie, you don't live
in Hollywood. It's actually a really industry.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah, things are being leaked left and right.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
You guys are doing the Hollywood handbook to me take
I'm starting to take back the right honestly, whoa because
my performance was middling, Oh my god, performance No, no, no.

Speaker 4 (15:11):

thought I was, by accident, got the best reaction totally
sense liked shitty.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
That was like god, they loved it. Yeah, I almost
want to go back. I'm like, I want to redo,

Speaker 2 (15:33):
You guys, we got to go back. And and also
we're going to have them on it.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
We're going to bully them until they cry. Yeah, I
would like when we had well, so, do you know
how Long Gone again? How Long Gone?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Girl? Great?

Speaker 3 (15:46):
It's Chris Black and Jason Stewart. It's a very popular
sort of like yes, I know, it's straight straight eye
podcast scene. They have, like you know, everyone from you know.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Kurt Vonnegut to st him.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
The ghost, but they would it's.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
If anyone could get.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
The ghost of Kirk Vonnagat, it would be that, of course.
But we had them on and we feel like they
dommed us. But now we know them better.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, but now we know them better, and I think
we need to have them back on again. And really
this is I love how inside the Extra studio. This
is okay because we have them on. I had never
listened to their podcast, which was now You're obsessed and
I'm upset.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
But that's kind of dommy if you did not have
listened to them, Yeah, I know, but still you let them.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Do them preparing. The truth is we started preparing more.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
We started preparing more to have someone on that wrote
a novel, and we both read the novel. Okay, we
have one hundred pages left that's nothing you can do that?

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah, or in two days? Are you reading it or
are you listening to it reading?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
And I read it took a band's copy, Girl Girl.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
I think this has probably been talked to death. But
where do you guys stand on calling listening to audiobooks reading?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
First of all, I want to say, I love when
the guest asks the question and prom us. I count
that as a form of DOMITIU and I celebrate it.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Yeah, I can't wait to keep dom and I think this.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
I'm actually very torn on this.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Think.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
The thing is, I only do maybe like two audiobooks
a year. I mostly read on paper, and I have
no problem counting them. And they're usually like it's usually
sort of like middle brown nonfiction. I can't read, and
I can't listen to a novel, and I definitely can't
listen to like a complex like nonfiction book that's like
deep journalism. So it's like like I listen to the
Tina Brown like Vanity Fair Diaries, for example, or like

(17:45):
or like something that's for like self help adjacent.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Alo listen to a memoir.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yes, that's a good one, but yeah, I count it.
I put it in my little notes s app of
like the books I've read, so.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I do too, and I'm I'm my sisters and my
mom read so much more than I do. But they oh,
I just I just.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Oh my god, everything going on.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
But I uh, anyway, I my sister recently said, I
guess this is what it is. I think you should
totally count them on your list. But do you say
I was reading?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Oh no, no, you say I was listening.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Yeah, I think you said I was listening. Yeah, yeah,
you can say I did consume that piece of media.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, exactly, I consumed that.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
There.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
The other question, does listening to podcast counter is reading?
I would say, yeah, of course.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
The most cute thing is that my mom always does
is because I read so much less than my very
very reader siblings. My mom is always like, but honey,
you're always reading scripts. She's always giving me that. It's
really cute because I kind of played dumb in my family.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
You got to play a role.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
I got to play something.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Places and last looks. Really appreciate that she gives that
to me. That is nice. Yes, you can read doll.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, you're like Google go yeah, a little googoo goga.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
I'm a little Google. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
A little.

Speaker 4 (19:12):
Go go, Google, Go.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Goo Google, Got got girl? I'm ready to what's the
word confess something embarrassing? I can't wait. Okay. When I
was like twenty three or twenty four, I listened. I
was a dog walker, so I was listening to a
lot of things, and I listened to the audiobook of
the Rules of Power because I was felt like I

(19:36):
was being overlooked in the open mic comedy scene.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Well, I guess what it worked. You know, exactly following
you is your job writing on a major late.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Leaking my Stanley Cup.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
So did it Did you learn anything from it?

Speaker 1 (19:50):
For sure? For sure? Yeah? I actually did find it
like kind of helpful where I was like, oh, there
are well and it's like I think about it a lot.
I confus use the Rules of Power with the rules
of fashion sometimes where which is the one? I'm the same?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I'm the same.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't want to say it, but like the first
like page is like of the Rules of Power. They're like,
first of all, if you think you don't need to,
like you don't want to learn the rules of power
while you already are playing them, you're just losing. And
I was really faster, and I feel that way about
clothes too, where people are like no, it's so I
don't want to look like anything. It's like, no, you
already are you look like something?

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Holy shit, I need to read both of these.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
So the fashion thing is really so true.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
It's like because sometimes you convince you're a badeely the
has and you convince yourself oh whatever, it doesn't matter.
Suddenly you find yourself. It's like you're alone in this
like giant, like empty world and you're like, oh, so
this is just what I think I'm bringing to today.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Oh fuck, I need to read rules of fashion.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
It's hard. I'm really in my.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Sweatshirt while it's unfit, bad fitting chants.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
It's it's very la la.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
It's like someone walks into a profession setting and they're
like in their pajamas with fluffy slippers like slippers, robe,
hair in a net and they're like, Hi, so where
can I Where can I put my pillow?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Totally, but that is like in la that is a power.
That's the rule of power number one.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, here's rule of power. I'm about to Okay, my
I'm my house did not burn down, but thank you,
but we are displaced sneaks for a while. So displaced
is such a weird word, but that's what we are.
But that's what we are. So I have my my
I have like a suitcase full of clothes, and so

(21:41):
there's this weird thing where I'm where I'm like, this
is my my. This is all I got, like, like
for I don't know how long. I'm also decided. I'm
like I'm not buying anything new, like I'm really living
in this. These are the like three pairs of pants
you brought, and the three sweatshirts and T shirts and
and in my brain is like, this is fine because
this is a situation you're in. But then I went

(22:01):
to like a not fancy meeting yesterday, but I should
look nice and I had.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Likes, but I was like, but I'm displaced.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
And I'm like they don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
I don't know. Yeah, I'm in a weird I'm in
a weird this is liminal thing. Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Context is so important. Context is so important.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Girl is so important.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
I need I I actually sort of want to develop
my theory about context creators a little more.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Okay, when did you talk about this again? It's at
our sketch fest life, that's it. And no one liked it.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
No, they did love it.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
They we had a context. I think what happened was
it was so smart, its very that it wasn't funny.
People were just like listening and taking notes. But I
wasn't getting last You were so smart, I was shut up.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
I do love just kind of being Google go Gum
listening to this podcast and like learning stuff.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
And guess what you're smart too, Sam?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (22:55):
George is like the smart one. Oh my god, Sam,
guess what you're really smart?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Non cut. I really appreciate it, you know that. Right
of course.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
It's moving on from this.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Sorry, back to context.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Okay, So my sort of like idea that I came
up with on the spot is like, you know, we
call them content creators, people that are on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok,
but actually they are context creators. They are not creating
new content. They're just saying something about like a red
carpet look that someone wore, but putting it into new context.

(23:27):
So what we actually need is new content. The like
creator economy is just keeping us stuck because all of
it is about nostalgia and about like repackaging existing things
and putting them into yes, and putting them into new context.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
And actually, I think there's a new phrase that is
speaking to this. Okay you were familiar with of course,
like the she reheated her nachos.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yes, they are not choke creator, they're not show reheaters.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I think people are really becoming wise to the way
that everything is just being reused and recycled right right
in like in a way that's like almost toxic. But
it is like just a given that like when you
put something out, you're not making new nachos, you're reading somewhat.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
And I want to say one thing, it's like the
the context creator ethos started out good because it started
out as being like, remember this rom com from two
thousand and two, it was sexist because of X Y
Z reason. And now suddenly it's in a new context
and it's and it's a context that is helpful. It's
being like, wow, look at all the unconscious biases we
had then that we now see whatever.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
But then it's now it's.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Taken to like such an extreme that it's like not
everything is sort of like a prompt for you to theorize, right.
I mean, it's funny that we are the ones saying that,
which is like kind of our whole thing. But you
know what I mean, I'm like time to got new things. Actually,
I no longer need new interpretations of Bridge of Jones's diary.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
I know.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Wait do you mean do you mean you mean you
don't need a new movie.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
The theaters?

Speaker 4 (25:00):
And strongly I had a I had a I had
a I had a sad moment this morning when I
saw that it was streaming. Yeah, I love your peak,
Like there's a new Bridget Joke movie that I've heard
is good, starring fucking Renee Zellwegger.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
I mean it didn't, that's all.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
When you said Reneegger, I had this deep feeling that.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
I know her, I like, I almost I felt the
need to speak up and be like, oh, Renee like
and as though I had some connection, and I wanted
to be like, we were out for coffee the other
day and she said the funniest thing, And I don't
know what it is.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
There's maybe a past that I have a past life, your.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Whole entire life.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, maybe that's what whole entire life.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
I just rewatched Down with Love and maybe that was
fresh in my mind, and so it was almost like
I just had Coffee with her.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
I love that movie.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
It is one of the best movies.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
It was underrated completely, nobody knows it.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
That is a great movie that I'm glad people have
put into new context as like a movie that was,
you know, sort of much better than.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
It was given credit for. Ahead of his time and
all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
And McGregor, Yeah, I want to say Rachel.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Dratch, Yes, Rachel Sarah Paulson, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
No, it's okay from Frasier Niles Crane.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yes, David David. I cannot believe.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Literally gay for sure? Sorry, I know yes because you were.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
You're not say something about Renees only only.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
That it's not like it's not a prequel. It's not
like starring c W Talons or whatever.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's like with them. It's with them. Hugh Grant's probably
in it.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I think he is.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
Really, what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
It should be in the theater?

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Put a gun to my head, kill.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
And don't miss Gone Girl, Gone Girl. Okay, Okay, I literally.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Right now see cuts Gone Girl again.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Watt Are we.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Just like truly breathed for our first segments so we
can go back to.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh my gosh, Okay, thanks for having me, thanks for
doing literally on cloud ninety might as well be on
a mountain of cocaine.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I also want to say, you know, to your incredible credit,
you've been in Hollywood for you know, you you know
the biz, and you we said, you know, we can
do zoom any of these times, and you said no,
I'm gonna wait. And I think it's one hundred percent
worth it, and I'm so glad you did. I really do,
I really I think the proof is in the pud one.

(27:44):
This is being in person, is you're Bradley Cooper bringing
the piano exactly. Our first thing is called strade Shooters,
and in the second we ask you a series of
rapid fire questions. It's basically this thing or this other thing.
And the only rule is you can't ask any followp
questions or will scream scream scream.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
I want to ask a questions, but I won't.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I won't. George kickassof Elevated Horror or Dora the Explorer,
Dora the Explorer, Teenage Dream or Wilhelm Scream Teenage Dream.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
The Taming of the Shrew or Defaming Mister Magoo.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh, Kendrick Lamar or that bitch, ja'far, your wish is
my command? Or he went to Tish and now he's
in a band.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
He went to and now he's in a band.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
A fleet of Welsh Corgi's or the feet of Florence Welsh,
the feet of Florence welch. This girl is on fire,
that boy is mine, or these boots are made for walking.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
These boots are made for walking.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Okay, plastic straws or laughs and gaffaws, laughs and gafas.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Wow, wow, amazing.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
I'll say, okay, thank you for the doves. Did you
give me three options?

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Why do that?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Sometimes I made my head spin?

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah, yeah, so did you say jafar and then you
said your wish is my command?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Sometimes that does happen, though, but you don't. We don't collapse, No,
we don't collapse. But there have been I would say,
like four or five times when it's like eerily similar.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
So yeah, same brain content, similar, yes.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Very much so, similar context, same brain and I also,
I hate to say it's similar sort of like algorithmically
suggested content that we're consuming.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Of course, of.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Course, of court.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
That was great, okay, so I got a thousand does yeah? Okay, great? Wow,
thank you well, it.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Was you know, you're a performer, and there was so
much nuance there, there was ups and downs, highs and lows.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
It was an amazing, amazing Like having heard this segment
so many times, only recently did I realize it's you're
not actually I don't think you're actually trying to get
the person to say one.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Thing or the No, it really is. It's like it's
a segment. Is this segment?

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Is it really is us micro dos in Hollywood hand
like we're we're being like, isn't it funny that we
thought of these two things that rhyme yes, yes, and
then it's like, now say something every wont.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Last exactly exactly. I think I used to think it
was like which thing is straighter? And then I was like, no, no, no,
it's which thing is gayer? And only recently was like, no, no,
it's neither. It's neither.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
In theory, it is like it's almost like a Rshack
test of like what you're drawn to says something about
your personality and then all of that adds up to
your score, but it's also about the performance. Like I
enjoyed that when I gave you three, you were like
temporarily taken aback, and.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Then I think I could have lost points for honestly,
on that one, I was so overwhelmed. I just went
with the last thing I heard. Yeah, you know, I
think that's fine. I think that's fine.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
That was so good student, and be like you told
me I got this right, but I actually I was
a little It wasn't I got to the right answer,
but I did it wrong. I did.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
That reminds me of something I did when I was
in Let's say, I think I was like nine, My
older cousin played too Short for me and my sister
too Short the wrapper okay, we were my sister and
I listened. We grew up in the Bay. We listened
to a lot of hip hop, but we knew that

(31:25):
we weren't allowed to listen to Too Short okay because
he was really nasty.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Line.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
And we were listening to Too Short in my cousin's
bedroom and my parents walked in and he was saying,
like fuck pussy ho what like he was saying horrible.
Yeah I know, and you know, we like ran to
turn it off and my my my parents were like
they were mad at they were disappointed.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
And later.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Like later that day when we were talking about it,
I was like, I'm really glad that you did that.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
We talked about it.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
We were really glad that you did that because it
really taught us a lesson.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
My mom was like, fuck off, no, you did it.
She was like, you don't have to do that.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
And it was such a like that, so check your work,
like yeah, what is that? What is that?

Speaker 1 (32:15):
That's people pleaser that we both have it. We have that.
I've always wondered why, Like I wonder if it's like
do I just have that or just like watch the
right make sure of like kids TV shows?

Speaker 4 (32:25):
Totally, totally, totally yeah. It is that little moment where
like the music changes and you're like, hey, Mom, can
I talk to you for a second. It actually really
it was good that you did that, and even though
it was hard, we learned a lesson.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
She was like, shut up. When you were a kid,
did you like often think like you're.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
In a movie?

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, totally do Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I remember like what like I would like look out
the window, the moody out. I think when you say
when you were a kid, you mean to this day, Yeah,
Well now I can now I understand it and I
can be like, oh, this feels cinematic or something, but
like as a kid, I was like I wish someone
was filming right now, like this is a real emotion.
And I remember even like writing down once, like I

(33:04):
took guitar lessons when I was like eight or something,
and I was like so nervous because whatever whatever, So
I wrote down like a piece of paper like I'm
scared to take guitar lessons, like folded it up and
put it somewhere and then my mom found it and
was like, wow, that was so sweet, and I'm like
I knew what I was doing, but like it.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Wasn't like you literally put it like on her desk.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
You read that. Yes, I was doing it like I'm
in a movie.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Yeah, yeah, I think I definitely window rain on Window
was obviously big when I was younger emotion For whatever reason,
the last few years, walking on the street is much
bigger for me. And maybe this is the la versus
New York well, but walking on the street, and I
would say it reached its peak during Charlie XCX, like

(33:52):
three Party Girl, yeah, because it was just.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
You can't if you listen to that song and you're walking,
you're gonna stop.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Von Dutch specific. Sorry, that's when I was walking at all.
It's it's over all the ants in your area. They're
getting smart, uncle, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, yeah. I went through a phase where I would
listen to that Selena Gomez song that's like good for you.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
You know, yeah, like in a great Hacks scene right
where like does that sound familiar where they're like like
Poppy and Hannah, don't us. I feel like there's a
great moment in house where they're blasting that in sort.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Of like it's like one of the sexiest songs ever produced.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
It's not that song.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
And there was a I was probably in my mid
twenties and I was living in Boston, and I would
come back from like a party or something and be
like a little drunk, and I would literally put it
on and basically like writhe around section on my own
and by myself, like not even in a way where
I was just kind of it wasn't even like sex.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
I wasn't like.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
I was literally just like, yeah, you're just going to
feel in your body.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Oh wow that my esophag has felt bad.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Oh no, I think it's good.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Yeah, damn, I'm gonna have to only drink through a straw.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
What happened girl getting redn do you go girl? Anyway?
I'm like backtracking on good, Oh yeah, good the one.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
I love that song.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
I'm actually surprised, no shade to Selena, how many Selena
songs I love.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
So the thing is she has amazing music.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
It's just.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
And you know what, I'll leave it at that beautiful music,
beautiful beautiful recorded music. Yeah, when it's recorded and then
it's released and then I press play on it, it
sounds amazing. It sounds amazing when it comes to my ear,
when it comes to my ear, when I press the state,
I'm loving it.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yes, God, it's so difficult for me. So we can't
go into this.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
But it's watched Themelia Prays over four hundred times.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
I've watched Amelia Press twice, Okay, one of them was
in theaters.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
And so all I want to talk about is Amelia Press.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
But I can't because it's like no longer relevant, Like
I don't actually have a hot take on it. But
for whatever reason, since I've been in LA, keep bringing
up because it's you know, you guys are you know
it's like the oscars are happening, and we're in La
so obviously I want to talk about Amelia.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Press and the billboards are everywhere. Billboards are everywhere.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
We literally passed on the other day when we were
driving and Sam was like, Oh, there's your girl. That's
carlos Ias Khan.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Well.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
I think is an incredible actress, regardless of her very
contemptible political opinions. I think she really absolutely slated and
was cunty go girl in that entire.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
So, but we can get the topic.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Okay, Okay, Darcy, what is your topic that you've brought
today and what is straight about it?

Speaker 4 (36:43):
Okay, I've thought about this for so long. This is
how I feel like. This is a hard question. It's
getting harder every day, that's true, if that makes sense
what I mean. Yes, it's getting harder every day. As
the child wives are doing poppers.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
That's true. That's true. Literally the tradwives are doing pop yes.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Kind of, so like it's getting harder to kind of
separate what is straight and.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
What is getting That's like one of the you know
how there's this political realignment where the right and the
left don't exist anymore. It's more about sort of like
are you random or are you kind of like normal? Yeah,
what you're described, the sentence the tradwives are doing poppers
is like a perfect encapsulation of how everything is has
been remixed where nothing makes sense.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
It makes sense. Yeah, right, So this question, I feel like,
is harder today than it was a couple of years ago.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
It's harder than it's ever been.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
So my so, I was.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Blessed by God himself. Wow, I think he's a hymn.
Oh okay, I was blused by God to be doing
this show on this particular day, which is that well, yeah,

(37:57):
the actual holiday called Valentine's Yes, so.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
It is currently as we're recording this, it is bounced.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Very fourteenth fourteenth, which I think is like sort of
the beginning of force fed straight cultures when you're a kid.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
It's like it's like real life straight in your face.
It's not like a movie where there's like a princess
and a prince or whatever. It's like, write a love
note to the boy over there, Yes, who do you love?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Girl? Which boy do you love? Boy? Which girl do
you love? Ask them to be your wife.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
In front of the class.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
But also it's like it's a numbers game right one
to everyone. Do you remember like how you would write
Valentine's Day cards for everything?

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, well I went to Yeah, I feel like mine
was like gender neutral roughly where you want them. It
was just like to everyone in the class.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
I get yeah, but would you actually write a Valentine's
Day to another boy of Valentine's Well.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
This is I mean a girl would girl, I think,
But that's different because lesbians.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, because it was like you would get like boy cards,
like they would almost be like like like a.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
Little baseball player, Yeah, catch this ball, catch my ball.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Jeff, please, I beg you, Jeff has a sexual awaken.
I do want to catch your ball.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
But yeah, I just I just from there. You know,
there's the things in elementary school. This is the most
like force fed. A teacher makes you do it, your parents.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Speak to do it.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
All these people, by the way, who don't encourage over
sexualization in other areas of your life, Like it's like
they don't let you watch our rated movies. They don't
quite tell you where babies come from, Like they're not
at all encouraging you to be a sexual being. But
then this one day comes and it's like the purge,
but for being like straight and sexual.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Straight and sexual. Every holiday is this though, and.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Then they like make their son do Valentine's and then
he's like wait why and they're like what are you?

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Exactly exactly this is.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
It's like every holiday makes somebody do, like makes your
parents do something like lie to you about Santa Claus
or whatever it is. It's like these it's like, well,
that's just what God himself.

Speaker 1 (40:18):
Told us to do, so you have to do it.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
You can even like not be religion.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Suddenly it's Christmas and they're like, thank God Christ was
born exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Yeah, So so anyway, I just I don't know when
how do you guys feel about Valentine's Day as adults?

Speaker 1 (40:34):
Right? This is where it gets complicated again. No, no, no,
because I was just about to ask you. But yeah,
I'm I appreciating dom.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
But I do want, like, I like the idea that
the thing for like for Christmas, the thing is religion.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
For what are the other holidays?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Like April Suddenly everyone's a trickster he loves America yes.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Or doesn't?

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Or a family Thanksgiving everyone is even if you even
if you hate your family Thanksgiving coms and you're like,
we're family.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yes, I guess for you why everyone loves America Also
kind of Thanksgiving, there's a little bit.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Of it's like we did it, yes, good, yeah, okay.
And then but Valentine's the thing is everyone loves heteroseox trout.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Yes, totally.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
I guess in theory, like I met a state in
my life from like any holiday. I'm like good, Like,
I think the more time we have time to check.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
In and be like nice, I'm the opposite.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
I like better.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
I'm like, don't tell me what to fucking do.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
I think that's it.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
I'm like, don't tell me when to kiss someone, don't
when to like love my family. I think that's where
I'm like, I make my own rules. But it's kind
of nicer. I like better, And maybe you're better.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Maybe I'm you know, the guy in the rom com
who's the sequel in the naming And I'm stuck in
the room and like, don't talk to me when I'm
naming my things, right, No, And so then I'm on Valentine,
Say'm like, what have I been doing? Right, I've been
so obsessed with naming things. I forgot You're right here.
The whole time.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
Well, I do think there's a way in which hating
Valentine's Day almost became equally straight. It became like this
cliche of like people being like people that in no
other context would even use the term capitalist suddenly being
like it's a capitalist holiday that tries to sell us
capitalist love, and you're like, okay, like, yeah, relax, you

(42:21):
are just like a normal girl. You're suddenly you're like
nome choump scale.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
I feel like my mom may have said that that
sentence sudden.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
But it is true that it's it's almost in a
weird way, quote unquote basic girl to hate Valentine's Day
despite the fact that that same girl and sorry to
you know, the only reason I'm saying girl is because
boys are like too dumb to even have an opinion.
It's like that same girl is definitely interested in having
a beautiful wedding, is definitely like interested in having a

(42:57):
great boyfriend or husband.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
But then suddenly on Valentine's she's literally.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Like, you know, wearing a sort of like a black
like a black Yeah, like she's wearing to protest.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
You have to like go through your if you're just
like a normal girl, you have to go through your
like I hate.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
That exactly, yeah, which is why I think I'm like
interested in what Sam is saying about liking valentectics. It's like, well,
maybe the straight thing is to have it have so
much power over you that you're reactionary against.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
It, and then the normal thing is to just.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
It's sort of yeah, And mostly it's like if you're
normal about anything, I think it's good.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
That's I feel about Christmas.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
I don't hate it, don't love it.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
No, I like it, and I don't associate it with
anything actually substantial or rooted in reality. It's not about religion,
it's not about family, it's not about anything. It's just
like how fun.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
Yeah, fun totally. It's so much better to just feel
that way, especially.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
When like, like when I think I would hate it
if it was like if I'm not getting a fucking yet,
like today, I'm going to fucking scream.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
I'm not getting a fucking fuck today.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
If I'm not gonna play one, say you're fuck exactly.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
I've been waiting all here for.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
My for my one, and if I don't get it,
I'm a scream.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
That's the girl in the Naming rom com it's like
if I don't get by one fuck today. And it's
by the way, it's called no Funks Given. And the
naming specialist thought of that title. That's how at the
end he thinks of the title of the movie he's in.
It's kind of being John. It's very actually, wow, this
is a good Wow, it's a good movie. Then the

(44:37):
credits are at the end of the movie.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
Okay, Actually, the name of the movie as you go
into the movie is not that it gets renamed.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
You know what it is.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
It's inst name here, it's insert title here. That's what
the movie is called. Because it's also a commentary on
him being a name.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Unfortunately, I would love that.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
I think it's great. Who's this starring?

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Okay, okay, all right, not Zoe, which let's start there.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
She's cut, she's cut.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
I have to say, Darcy, I'm afraid to say names
of celebrities with you because you have worked with so
many of them.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Oh, that's a good point. Have you worked Okay, okay,
and we have I have nothing.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
You're just saying, you're saying, maybe, like okay, zoey.

Speaker 2 (45:18):
Okay, First of all, Zoe's lovely A role of culture.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Number one. We we love Zoe on this podcast always loves.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
All right, so Zoe is yes, Yeah, So what actress
slash actor could this be?

Speaker 4 (45:35):
I mean, yeah, hen Batley just popped into my mind.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
He Badeley as the naming specialist could be really big.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
You's finishing up?

Speaker 1 (45:43):
You might yes, I agree, all right? Actually, and I
actually do want Sydney Sweeney to like keep being wrong calming,
but get better at it.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
I just kind of kicked George.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, you guys are kicking me. You're like, what the
fuck is he talking about?

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Hello, you guys are mad at me for I love Sweeney,
but I unfortunately, as someone who has seen her rom
com that's not her strong.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
That's true. I haven't seen the rom com.

Speaker 4 (46:04):
I haven't either, but maybe maybe she you know, give
her more reps.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I just wanted to get. It's like me with Hollywood
hand Book.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
Yeah, the old the nineties rom home Girls got so
many repress says, get your reps in yours?

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Can I say someone who I think is one of
the most brilliant comedic actresses of her generation.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
That hasn't gotten her due.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
Wait, I'm so excited.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Jane from Happy Endings.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
There's Eliza. I feel like there's two Eliza.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
That's you're correct, not the one that was in The
Girl next Door.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
Okay, so Eliza Coop.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Oh yeah, she is one of the funniest women people alive.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
She is so funny.

Speaker 2 (46:52):
I she's like born to do television.

Speaker 4 (46:56):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
So I'm thinking it's her first also film.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
It's her and I think her and pen could work.
And I also like that she's maybe a little older
than him. That could But that's not address because we're
not because that would be condescending to the audience. Like,
it's not about that, it's not it's not like empowering
that she's old. She's just a normal girl. Yeah, and
he's a normal guy. That's annoying.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
Yeah, she's so fun Yeah, you like pretty much discovered her.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah, you like put her on the map.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Alicia Cuffberts Alicia Cuthbert is the other one.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
She's also great.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
She's also great.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
And Casey Wilson, who we know in course.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
I mean that's first of all, should be President.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Yes, it's not even she doesn't have time to do
this rom gone because she literally has to be in
the administration in the White House.

Speaker 4 (47:48):
Speaking of going back to audiobooks, I would highly recommend
her audio books when they're doing their own audiobook. Martin Shorts, Oh,
that's fun. It's really fun to listen to them tell
their own story.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
That's I just am filled with love. I'm literally filled
with happiness that Casey Wilson eyes out there me too,
got me too.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
I imagine the world.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
If she wasn't you should this pod I met and loved.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
I have never met the best. And one time I
asked someone I can't remember if it was like, I
was like, oh, I would love to do Bitch. It
wasn't her.

Speaker 3 (48:23):
This is not her fault that I haven't done it,
but it was like someone that either that reped, someone
involved whatever.

Speaker 2 (48:28):
I was like, oh, I would love to do bitch.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
And then the person's response was like, you know, to
do that podcast, you really have to be up to
date on the Bravo shows, Like you can't just sort
of go there and like be funny and are you
not No.

Speaker 4 (48:39):
Okay, I that's such a funny thing.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
But I was like okay, and I was like I
get it. I get it, Like I would never disrespect
Casey going.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
On to be caught up with all of them.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
It's a lot of reading, I know, but but again
I was like, you know what, I respect it. Yeah,
I actually would love for you to go on unprepared
and have her fucking screaming.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
And it's like, secretly she's been a huge, uh county goal.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
It would be so funny if like, yeah, like fifteen
minutes into the body, just see like their eyes go dead. Yeah,
fucking you didn't catch up. Don't act like you caught
up when you didn't fucking catch up.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
She literally like drops her drops her binders, Like what
the fuck? Who brought?

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Who is this? Who is this?

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Always brings some.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Fucking gay guy. I told them, no more gay guys.
Being gay isn't a good enough credit everybody.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
Have you heard.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
T trad something like trad wife is hard for me
because it's traditional wife, right, Yes, that type of ship
is hard for me.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Like why isn't it traad wife?

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Human pronunciation? I thought you were going to make some
argument about where we are as a culture. We're like
why is it a little bit like say this again.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
Okay, so like true but trad, we don't say brad.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Oh you don't say traditional, so.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
You don't say traditional traditional, So then would it be
a troade wife? But I know it's a deep like
these type of things. I think. Also, what about like
Beyonce when they say like bee.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I completely agree.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
I I don't like when they say bay. I really
don't like when they say bay and it alsways sounds forced.
It's always like the host of eing you like entertainment
read By?

Speaker 4 (50:26):
Yeah, yeah, it's like but it's like b why Yeah,
I get that that's By, but it's also Beyonce. It's
also like, okay, like Mary, if I wanted to call
my friend Mary Mayor, am I spelling it m A
R M A R E.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
I'm putting an on there because it's mar.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
It's tricky because are really tricky and hard.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
This is really.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Yeah, I know George is going inward?

Speaker 2 (50:54):
What are you thinking on the spot?

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Okay, you're scaring us, George, don't don't go inside there.
And I'm also I'm willing to be wrong on that.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
I'm on trad trad.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
Mayor, I'm just and I'm also willing to be a hypocrite.
I might be, I might do it all the time,
but it's just trad is really trad. Trad do be
traged brad Trud.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
I mean, trud is.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Like trud wife.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
The thing is trad. Okay, we're actually now like fully
post language.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
I love tra.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Trad wife. They do it because it sounds more glamorous.
Yea trud wife sounds like truck.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
It's bad.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
You're like trudging through the wife of trad wife.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
It's like, in order to have to like eliminate their power,
we have to start calling them trudi. Yes, totally, But
I also okay, tradwife is one of those things that
I have just never believed in as a concept or
as a trend. And I will not be gas lilt
into thinking this is like some cultural force I have
to reckon with. Like this is literally like five people

(52:12):
on TikTok, and it's like an easy thing to write
about and to write trend pieces about it.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
You know what I mean. I think I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
I know, I switch probably.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
I was going to say, you're probably right, and.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
You stand for nothing.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
I don't, George, I just want to say that, like
you know, I was once in the New York bubble,
and like I know how that feels, and like you
really do think you're saying in LA.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
There are.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
In LA, but there's like outside, just outside, and I
think they're really sympathetic to them. And I think it's
like it is a bigger culture than me exactly because.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
To me, it's just like context creators, right, And.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
I think it probably what I guess what I was
going to say when you went I did, I flip.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Flopped, but it was I was John Kerry, Now I
was I was going to.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
Go on to say, I think you're right, and yet
I think there's so much of the country that we
are blind and have no understanding of.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Yeah, and and.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
It's it bit us in the ass once, and it
bit us in the ass against and it might again.

Speaker 1 (53:17):
And it might.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
It bit us once it bit us against.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Okay, I mean, listen, maybe right, I don't want it.

Speaker 3 (53:26):
But I guess here's my question. Did that did the
percentage of the population that is trud did that? Did
that already exist before? We just had a term for it,
like there have always been Well, the argument is.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Like a Martha Stewart was like the type before where
it was like almost an aspirational like she's making her
own like table spreads, and you were supposed to like
feel like you should want to do that.

Speaker 4 (53:52):
As you say that, I'm like, I don't even really
know what a trud wife is. Is it like is
it like a little prairie wife or is it like
a fifties wife or is it I mean.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
It's a little bit of both.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Broadly speaking, it's just like you want to please your
husband and you don't necessarily need to have a job,
and you.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Like fantasize about like living on the farm and making
everything from scratch and whatever.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
Now isn't Martha Stewart interesting?

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Oh let's start there. Podcast starts now.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
Did you watch that?

Speaker 2 (54:23):
I watched you?

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Of course not. Sh I'm not watching shit. You're too busy.
I'm so busy doing the most important job in Hollywood.
That's why the paparannzi always outside my fucking office.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Or as I was at home watching Martha Stewart documentary.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
Left and right.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
It just is it's interesting because like on on First
Glance or whatever, she's a chad wife, but she is.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
She didn't give a show that any millionaire ever. Yeah,
and she's a bazillionaire.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
She's also a like literally head gas later in chief
like the way she's just like, yeah, my husband was
cheated on me, and then like did you on him too?
She's like yeah, but I'm me.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
I loved that. That was a That was an interesting
moment because it sort of showed that she sees the
world the way she wants to see it.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Yeah, it was a great It was an incredible moment.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
Yeah, because then the as as much as I'm like, I, well, okay,
her going to jail through the doc I'm like, fuck America,
It's like the steward was wronged. But then I'm like,
is that the documentary telling me that?

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Well?

Speaker 3 (55:29):
The thing with the thing with super rich and successful
people going to jail is that every time one does
it is to make an example out of them. It's
not like we live in a world where everyone who
commits financial crimes goes to jail. In fact, it's quite
the opposite. It's like, most people who commit financial crimes
don't go to jail, but then every now and then
you make an example out of someone. I honestly think

(55:49):
that's true of Elizabeth Holmes too, who I do think
should have obviously was guilty, but I just mean, like,
how many startup founders have defrauded investors and like not,
sin's part.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Of the business.

Speaker 3 (56:00):
That's part of the business. And you literally like when
you're talking there, like yeah, you just have to fail
fifteen times and then you succeed once. And you're like,
by fail, do you mean steal and accumulate wealth despite
never making anything, because you are absolutely killing it at
that Yes, So it's like yeah, I mean yeah, yeah,

(56:21):
So it's yes and yes.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Guys something.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
In when I first moved to New York, I did
maybe three episodes of background work on a little show
called Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Oh, I've heard of it.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Do you have any idea of what year we're on?
I haven't read anything about.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
And there's a really famous Martha Stewart's sketch where David
Spade today is Martha Stewart. When I tell you, I'm
all over that background acting my ass off, Oh, it's
really feel free to go back, I will. I'm really
giving it my all.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Wasn't that sort of like one of the ones that
was deemed I think there was like a clip of
that in the documentary.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
I kept kind of imagine I kept looking for it.
I guess they cut my seat. I thought they would
have shown it.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yeah, maybe they didn't get the rights.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
I'm actually even remembering. This is so cute. My parents
were visiting me in New York and because Martha was
all over the news and the and the the freakin' rags,
there was a picture of Martha Stewart I want to say,
like Life and Style or a magazine or something like that,
and I was just front and center, right over her shoulder.

(57:33):
I guess not front and center.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
I guess right.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
And you were actually in the background.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
It was so clear that my mom.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Bought like, you know, ten, that's so sweet. Yeah. Wow,
background work, I mean at a time at a time,
it is funny. There was such an arrow when you're
starting and you're like, I'm in the background. I know.
I did it, I know.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
And I was like, I was like, I'm using this
to learn because I was kind of like, you.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Know, have you ever done background work? I have.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
Okay, there's a little bit of like there's some depending
on how big the scene is or whatever, it can
be a little bit of like mob like you're kind
of treated like cattle and you're and you might have
the thought. One might have the thought. I have the
thought of like, this is not me. I'm not like this.
I'm doing this because I'm learning. I'm I'm who's the grip?

(58:23):
For example, who's the DP? Like I'm learning, I'm learning
how to be on a set.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
This is this is not me.

Speaker 4 (58:29):
I'm not going to run to grab my lunch. I'm
not gonna when they bring the lunch out, I'm not
going to run and grab it. I'm going to get
it later. Like I had all these sort of rules,
and then after I think after the third episode I did,
you know, every time they call me, I'd be like,
I would be like, this is my moment, Like this
I'm getting the call even though I knew this isn't
how you get on the ship.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
I knew it. I was like, I know all this,
and yet still you get the call and you'd be like.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
Who spend Saturday on the stage?

Speaker 1 (58:57):
I have work actually exactly.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
But but then after I think it was the third
episode of that I did, I was like, I can
never do this again.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
Yeah, it's demoralizing.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
It made me feel real bad.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Okay, waits that.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Fucked up an elitist and and no, no, privileged. Yeah, well,
I mean it's privileged maybe, but I don't think at
the time.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Yeah, no, it is inherently like, yeah, there are jobs
that make you feel bad, and there are jobs that
make you feel good.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
Yeah, tricky, tricky, and they also are cruel to background Yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Yeah, it's like, yeah, that's my fault. It's just like
a weird thing.

Speaker 3 (59:36):
It's so funny for your quote unquote role in the
product to be reflected in the outside world because it's
like then the you know, they'll yell cut and it's like,
oh great, I'm now invisible again.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
Or invisible and you actually remind you, you know, now
that you're.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Not a background actor.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
You it's like you have to remind yourself right now,
we're not doing that now, they're not meant to be silent,
Like I can actually talk to that person.

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
Yes, yeah, but to be fair, every role is demoralizing,
like unless you're like the star, that's true. I've never
had that. Yeah, And it's so like you are, like
it's just like the ranking. You're always in a ranking
and it's always like.

Speaker 4 (01:00:15):
You're you're literally ranked like number one on the cover.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
I know it is. It is and like the things
you get are better depending on how it's like, this
is always Can we just be normal?

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
I have to say.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
I think everyone should be on a set as like
a hazing ritual.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Everyone in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
It should be like on a set as a hazing ritual,
just to see like also growing up and seeing I've
said this before, but like growing up and seeing celebrities
are like these are like spoiled rich whatever, which obviously
they are, but then when you see what they have
to go through, even just physically like being like, yeah,
you deserve one billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Yeah, it's really humiliating. Yeah, well I love this tone.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
I know, I know you've been here for a year,
a little one year, little over. It took me one
full year of being your before I liked it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
I met peace with it.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
Okay, I think you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
I think you're noticeably happier, and well I'm happier than
I was, but not happier than I was in New York.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Right, but New York will always be there and you'll
always go back.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Yeah, you told me last you told me.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
Oh, we had a chat at some point and you
it was very funny you you sort of were like
you were like, so, all right, when are you going
to move to LA? And the implication was like LA
is real and New York is like what you do?

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
I do? I do have a feeling that New York
is like no, I know it's and there's like in
l A, there's like a reality totally.

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
Do you want to die in New York?

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Listen, I die tomorrow if I.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
If it were up to me, then yes, i will
come here for employment reasons. But I'm never going to
move here just to move like all right, yeah, I
get you. If every if work drives up in New York,
you know, I'll get back to you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
I know. I know.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
I lived in York for eleven years and go back
all the time and anytime I can live there, you know,
like like do something there to live there for a
chunk of time. I'm always jumping, jumping at it, chomping
at it, chomping at the bit, jumping at the job, jumping.
I'm jumping up and down. Yeah, cast me okay, And

(01:02:20):
but I it is it is. It is easier to
live here, but it is better to live there. It's
easier to live here.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Yeah, it's better to live there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
The older I get the more.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
I Also, I do feel like, unlike some people who
live in New York, I at this point legitimately have
roots that I mean Matthews from there.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
We live a ten minute walk from our little niece,
like Docs or his parents live there. It's just is like, yeah,
her address is, but which I do think complicates things.
It's not like I'm yes, New York is a fantasy,
but I'm also living a very is your body like reality.

Speaker 1 (01:03:04):
Where I am it's so extremely New York based.

Speaker 3 (01:03:07):
Matthew's job is a New York based. At this point,
I have jobs that are like it.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
New York rocks, babe. I mean I know. Also when
you're there for years and years, you're kind.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Of like, no, but it does.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
Actually, I actually don't think the magic has We're not
says magic and magic, And the thing with it is
that like the magic keeps being renewed. It's like some
new thing will happen and you'll be like, I can't believes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:31):

Five years ago, right before the pandemic, all of our
gay guy friends went to Webster Hall. Oh I was there,
you were there, And I'll say it, we all did,
Molly or many many of us did. And it was
so much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
I don't recognize this.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
Imagine what those first few months. I can't imagine how
many times you reference that night in those first few.

Speaker 1 (01:06:40):
Months, constantly, constantly. It was like the last big night.
And it was also like so telling everyone like I
love you?

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
Was it so fun?

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
It was so much fun.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
I also were at this point. It's like we were
significantly younger, like we were five years.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
We were five years.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Sorry to say.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Five, I'm the same age.

Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
I know we all are.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
The thing is I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
It's like I really have been feeling.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
That I'm not too those five COVID years, I mean whatever,

Years, like they do the agent.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Yeah to go girl, girl's going a little less, Yeah
go to go woman, Yeah exactly, But five years, five
years are fucked. Five years is so fucked because that
is like that's half a decade.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
So you are.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
It is one tenth of how long SML has been
on the air, like that it actually.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
Sounds so long. Yes, it's five, like.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
The difference of twenty two twenty seven, the difference of
thirty and thirty five, differ of all. I mean, sorry,
it's always it's always.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
No, it hurts, it hurts.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
It's always the passage of time.

Speaker 1 (01:07:49):
But that's I have a fantasy of this is this,
like this is that night? Unfortunately it will not be.
Of course we're already thinking that. But it's like there's
something so special about going out on Valentine's and like
issue the like couple of them and being like I'm
going out with one million gay people?

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
Is it is? It will tell me later.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
I want to know like where, yeah you're doing, not
that I'm going to go.

Speaker 3 (01:08:09):
You can can I say something potentially uh damning, like
risque and if you guys are like gross, you can
just point of gun to meet pull a trigger again?

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
Do you want to die? In New York, La, Zoe Door.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
During this LA trip, I have felt uniquely unique asexual.

Speaker 1 (01:08:34):
Well, welcome to La.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Is that like there's some because usually when I'm traveling,
especially if I'm like a lone in a hotel like
you just there's eroticism about totally.

Speaker 1 (01:08:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
Yeah, you want to be bad on uh look good
for you, and you want to writhe on your back
exactly the way that I not at all. And I
I went to I went to the gym, I was
in the locker room. I had many opportunities to feel horny.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
I it's like, where are you in your cycle.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
Is a really good question.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
Also, so how long have you been out here?

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Like four days? At least?

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
One night feels.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Literally I mean, hello, George, we're going to get you tonight.
Tonight's I think we're going to get you. Yeah, but George,
I want to you know, did I tell you this?
You know I've been hating l A. I've been trying
to like it. I was reading Joan Diddyon to try
to understand, and you know, there was an essay where
she's like it's like the seventies and she's like, this
is a sexless town. Oh really yeah, And she's talking

(01:09:38):
about like how it's a gambling town. And the thing
about gambling places is there's no there's no horniness because
all you're focused on is like more money, more money,
more money.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
Yeah, and I do think it's it is a sexless town.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
Well, it's a sexless Certainly New York is way more sexually.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Yeah, God, Ellie is a sex town. It's a sexless
It is a sexless town. It needs Valentine's Day, it
needs someone to say have sex.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
Yeah, I'm just sort of realizing it. Every other city
is not.

Speaker 1 (01:10:03):
Chicago, horny, horny.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
And I actually think that's why LA has so much
dark sexuals. It's like because it's like when you got
to you have to become like perverse, you have.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
To be like a cannibal essentially, for example, just one
example top my head. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
Interesting, Okay, Well I hope that you get French tonight
or whatever you're looking for.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
I think we're going to figure it out. For I
really think I have some fun zing zing feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
No, I definitely, yes, exactly feel jazzy. Okay, great, Yeah,
that's what we're doing, running out with four year olds
and you guys are and we're going to.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
A second party.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Yeah, it's not a sex party. It's not a sex party.

Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
It's not a sex party, but it's a sexy party.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
It's a sexy part and we have been I didn't
send you this. It has been officially announced that at
midnight they're playing Abracadabra.

it's going to be so fun. I can't wait. I'm
so excited meet you at Webster Hall. Just kidding. I
know we're not in here. I wish, I wish should
we do our final say? I mean, I don't want
to know we have to.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
And for the record, I was an understudy and an
off Broadway show that performed at Webster Hall. Oh, and
I went on one time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:32):
When was this and you've done Broadway.

Speaker 4 (01:11:37):
Underdog It was pretty underdoggy because when I wasn't going on,
which I did one time, I was in fact selling merch.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
They being an understudy much like doing background Actually it's
worse than doing background work.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
The work you have to fit into it much work.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
It's so it's so much, especially like especially in Understand
that has to understudy many roles.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
That's nuts, you don't mind.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
It was called The Awesome Eighties prom barely a play,
more of an experience that is such an iconic box
musical it was Yeah, I guess so, but it was
like it was along lines of like a Tony and
Tina's wedding, So it was like a very bachelor party,
bachelorette party heavy, like like Girls' night got audience. Yeah, anyway, Wow,

(01:12:26):
this is just me wanting to hang out with you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):

Speaker 4 (01:12:30):
I could go for one time my mom and I
saw the Borne Identity around the corner and I used
to get sushi down the street.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
And I mean, the thing is, we were not an
interview podcast. But I also I'm like, I want to
ask you, but I like, don't feel like it's we can't.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
It's not like people pay us what people pay us
to do.

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
You can ask me anything, but I don't want you
to not do your thing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
But also I'm like, we did it, we can't. I mean,
I do want to know about your experience during Broadway.
I do want to know there's like a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:13:00):
About your New York experience. I'm curious.

Speaker 3 (01:13:01):
Yeah, I agree, you've sort of done it all. You're
like kind of that girl who's done it all.

of Hondy Go girl, and you know, of course, I'm
so excited for you. I literally would die for Elizabeth Moss.
I'm all in. However, something came up on my feed
that was like this very serious graphic and it was
the Handmaid's Tale x Christian Siriano.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):

Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
Does your role have any sort of comedic I was serious,

Speaker 4 (01:13:56):
But I think that I think that that I was
cast with the hint of sort of being and you
were like.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
No, but I was just like not being like, you know,
tough material. I was like, it would be so amazing
if you just went full like a handler like you
were like.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Red Hood.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
Okay, but anyway, I just had to sort of that's amazing,
announce that.

one villain in Hollywood. I literally gossip I have heard
from that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
I'm telling you, number one villain in Hollywood from the
tops to the bottoms.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
Interesting, and let's just say that if he embraced either
being a top or a bottom, you might be able
to move on.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):

a blind item.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
There's a lot of villains and villains. Yeah, okay, let's
wear final segment. Unfortunately, our final segment is called shout Outs,
and in this segment we pay homash to the Grand
Street tradition of the radio shout out, shouting out to
anything that we enjoy people place those things ideas. We
make them up on the spot. Literally didn't think about it,

(01:15:56):
and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:15:57):
I have to make it up, and actually you're doing
that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
I actually do have one. Okay, what's up freaks, losers
and perverts around the globe. You know, as we talk
about the five years that we've been through, it's affected
all of us. And I'll say it. I've been having
back pain over the last few months, in and out
back pain. I'm stretching, it's not working. I lay flat,
it's not working.

Speaker 2 (01:16:20):
What the hell.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Recently someone was like, well, do you just take an advil?
And I was like, but I don't do that, and
they were like, just take an advil and I was like, okay, fine.
I took an advilt. Guess what, it's fixed. I feel
completely fine. I guess I just needed my muscles to
relax for one fucking second and everything can realign and
get back to normal. I've never felt more limber in
my life. Only it was one damn advil. I've been

(01:16:42):
hurting for months and I just took a damn advil
and I'm fine. I'm ready to go out and go
fucking crazy. A calling in yes collar. Hey, p Color,
I have a question.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
Okay, when you say take an advil, do you mean
one advil?

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
I do one ad.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
You can do up to three.

Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
Well, I don't want to do up to three because
one is like the equalent of like snorting, snorting, like
one speck of dust.

Speaker 4 (01:17:11):
Yeah, did you snort one speck of dust and feel better?

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Dumb dust?

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
I did one eye bill in the morning and that night,
and I feel amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
Okay, Well, if history has taught you anything, you should
know that it is helping you, and therefore you should
take the recommended dosage, which is two.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
This is you guys are doing like Brandy and Monica.
The boy is mine, but shout out for him.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
Okay, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
I love the show show by, so one ad bill
is the correct amount. Xoxo. Lines are closed upaks and losers.

Speaker 3 (01:17:46):
I want to get the shout out to an episode
of Modern Family Letter recently watched, where the plot was
that all the women in the Dunfe family cycles got SYNCD,
so all three of them have their period at the
same time. On the day that they want to do
a Get This Family trapeze class for leap day, I
repeat The plot is that the cycles of the three

(01:18:07):
women are SYNCD and it ruins the family trapeze leap
day class, and I just want to say, why don't
we have hydrics like that on television anymore?

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Why don't we have some like that?

Speaker 3 (01:18:21):
Is what a writer's room is for. Someone suggests what
if their periods got syk? And someone says, that's not
that's big. We gotta go more. It's gotta be leap day,
trapeze class.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
Somebody said class. I've never said like that class, trappy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:38):
Class.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
And then some other person in that corner says, what
if it's leap Day?

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Yeah, leap Day?

Speaker 2 (01:18:45):
And okay, here's a question for you.

Speaker 3 (01:18:46):
Do you think the cycles being SYNCD was suggested by
a man or was it a woman that's like, how
funny would this be? Like it's like this happened in
my family or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:18:56):
Maybe it was like the one woman in an All
writers a writer she's kind of like, I'll be I'll
be like fucking, I'm a guy's goal. Yes, women in.

Speaker 4 (01:19:05):
Their periods, right, I'll say it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
Yeah, And everyone's like, well she said it, yeah, did
you need to or no, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
I guess just a general shout out to hijinks.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
Also, we're doing a deconstructed version. Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):
Laugh when I watched that show.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Sure it is.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
I said this the other day publicly. I don't know
if you saw.

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
I did see that it was announced that you were
on a handmade stale, but I actually also announced that
I believe cam on that show is the best comedic
television performance. Yeah, he's good other than all of yours,
of course, but I think but of the twenty first century,
I'm like, this is to actually pull this off, to
be doing quote unquote a stereotypical gay guy and pull

(01:19:46):
it off to such an extent that it actually is.
I'm like, I know that, man, and it's such a
beautiful portrayal of that kind of game.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Man. No, it's genius.

Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
It's so it's so it's funny to call Modern Family
like underrated because it's rated as ye, But like I
think because it became so popular, we now can look
at it like, but it is like chock full of
genius performances.

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
Ty Brown absolutely, absolutely, Sophia is one of the great comedics.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
Literally, like like, also, because she's so beautiful, you kind
of get she is fun.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Phenomenal like perfect.

Speaker 3 (01:20:22):
I have beef with that show for so long because
it's the reason Jane Rokowski never won an Emmy.

Speaker 1 (01:20:26):
But guess what that's not for me? It isn't.

Speaker 4 (01:20:29):
It isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
It's like that doesn't mean it's not.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
And it doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything about Jane either, No,
of course, right, I mean, Oh, it's fun, okay speaking,
my hair looking good.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
It's just like Octimus.

Speaker 4 (01:20:42):
That's a hair. Oh okay, okay, what's up everybody?

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Hey, all you cannibals out there, it's me on on
the show. I'm Darcy. Don't feel when you forget the
name of our show TRL.

Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
I would like to give a huge shout out to
the family that is housing my husband, and I'm literally
being serious because it's so fucking nice of them. Can
you imagine housing two full adults like they are in college?
This is so nice of you. It's sort of like
an unending You'll just houses until we don't need to
