Speaker 1 (00:03):
PHR and only Pez guilt.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hi, Freds, Welcome to the PHP booker here, Perez there.
How do you do, sir?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm well excited. We're talking some divas today, specifically the
return of Arianna Grande. Also some Selena Gomez tea which
I think could be true. Also, Jennifer Lopez has gone
viral this week and in a way that I think
actually makes her look good. Plus yet another bad update
(00:43):
for Brad Pitt and Bethany Frankel. But first, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm good? A way to Vegas this weekend. I saw
that No Doubt show, which I thought was phenomenal. I
found the most moving thing though, was just walking in
watching thousands upon thousands of women that had the garbond,
the checkered pants, whatever, the different looks of Gwen over
the years, and to like realize what she means to
(01:10):
so many young women. Really, to me was the most
moving thing about the whole thing. And the story that
they tell of No Doubt throughout the music is great
and a good story and maybe a little lesson for
me because I knew it was coming, you know what
I mean, Like I knew the oranges were going to
fall when the orange Groves came over. Everybody. I got
a couple of the oranges.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh lucky, I gave one away.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
There was a girl next to me. It was one
of our listeners and she was dressed up to the
whole Gwen Stefani thing. And it's funny. I think you
could actually hear in the video, one of the videos
that I posted. She was like no, and she was
like so upset, and I'm standing here and I go, hey,
I just tapped her and I go here you go.
She's like, oh my god. You know, it's like I
got two what do I need to for? But it
(01:53):
was sweet. It was a really great show. There's only
a couple of weeks left, I think, for no doubt
to do this, but well, and I loved it. I
just thought it was so good. And I just have
a feeling that it's better now than it was in
the beginning as well, because I think you mentioned or
I heard before that maybe the vocals weren't the best.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh no, I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay, well some people had and I was like, what, Like,
she sounded phenomenal, And I think just you know, the
longer you do a show, it's like a Broadway production.
Almost it gets better and better, and I just thought
it was great.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I remember when I went on opening nights. She even
commented saying, I sound really good for night or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know she did, she sounded really good. The band
was so tight and a well crafted show, all the
minutia into the stories and the old video, and it
just was really touching. And yet the show was great.
If anything, it was too long.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I would have said that. Also. The only notes that
I had were that first visual made me a little.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It was like a roller coaster as you come into
the Tragic Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It was too intense. Yeah, And the second note is
that it could have been a little tighter. They should
have maybe done a medley of them maybe instead.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Good idea, Yeah, maybe a little section of it, because
it was you started off with a few songs that
were pretty unfamiliar. I actually, yeah, a second song most
of them. You're right, you wouldn't know, And that'd be
my only note. But I think you can't really change
it because of the visuals and how everything plays out.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So yeah, it is what it is. I was actually
at the Venetian yesterday, which is kind of like the
host hotel for the Sphere. You can walk directly there.
And as I was pulling in, I saw a listing
for all the Metallica dates that starts in the fall,
and then I was just thinking. As I was parking,
I was like, I think I only know that one Metallica.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Song and that's all you know. Sad but true. I
don't know it till it sleeps, you know that song?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I know way more bon Jovie than I know Metallica.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Those were hip pop songs. Yeah, I can't wait for Metallic.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I'm going to January anyways. Yeah, let's get right to it.
But an eventful time was had this week end by
Dua Lipa and actually this annoys me. I mean, obviously
your kids are going to do whatever they want, but
I would give my opinion. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner,
the actor got married at old marley Bone Town Hall
(04:15):
in London. But she even wore like a little like
how would I describe it? It was like a power
suit business casual wedding vibe outfit with like a little
hat that was very like power like very eighties. And
I get it. They're getting married this weekend, I believe,
or sometime this week in Italy and it's supposed to
be a big to do with probably a lot of celebrities,
(04:39):
But like, why not just get married legally after the
big Italian wedding? I feel like that first time should
be like the first time, you say, I do, Like,
if my daughter's getting married and they have to do
it like the courthouse to you know, make it legal,
It's like, Okay, I get that, but do the big
wedding first, then get married at the courthouse.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah. I don't know. I think you just maybe want
to get it out of the way. You want to
go on your honeymoon. They got beaches to take their
clothes off of, you know what I mean. Like, I
think it's just more of like just get it out
of the.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Way, I guess, or why can't they Like maybe it's
because in another country, it's like why can't you do
both at the same time.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Maybe, Well, congrats to them. Yeah, I didn't actually know
he's an actor. I didn't know that. That's the first
time I've heard this.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh, he's one of the front runners allegedly to be
the new James Bond. Oh really, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So he's been in some things. Has he been in
any movies that I would know.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Let's see. No, he's done some big things.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Okay, I just didn't know he was an actor.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He was in Fantastic Beasts, one of the Harry Potter movies,
but that came out a while ago. I don't know
any of these movies. Oh, he did a few of
those Fantastic Beast movies.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So he's a working actor. Okay, I guess I just
didn't know that. I don't know much about the guy.
I know how he looks in The Bathings too.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The Boys in the Boat, Masters of the Air, I
don't know any of them.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh he was in Boys in the Boat. Yeah, oh wow,
that's a good crude.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
He's been working for a long time too.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That Boys in the Boat is about a rowing team,
if it's the movie that I'm thinking about, And I
saw that on a plane. I forget who did that movie,
but they did it with a bunch of no names,
like there were no big stars in that movie.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh it was directed by George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Clooney, Yeah, Clooney did that, And maybe the coach of
the team was somebody you might know, but the rest
of them were unknowns. And what a powerful movie. What
a great story that is. If you guys want a good, solid,
like really well done piece of cinema, I recommend that
all day. Such a good movie.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, congrats to them. Usually we don't, well sometimes we
talk about these things up the top, but I feel
like this is worthy of a beginning of show discussion.
Oh shoot, I didn't even send it to you. I'm
just kind of hoping you listen to it. Ariana Grande
released her new single, her comeback song after a few years,
(06:55):
called Hate That I Made You Love Me? Have you
listened to it? No?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And I hate that title already.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You haven't listened to it.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I didn't know. I didn't know. I knew it was coming,
but I just you know, I've been in Vegas mode
since the weekend, so I didn't really listen to anything.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Do you want to live? Listen to it?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Now? Hold on, let me get my Spotify open.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because I've listened to it a few times now. Maybe
your first listen reaction will be the same as mine.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
There it is, so let me listen to this trippy
can to.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Something.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's dancing fun.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Let's gus smooth smooth hook her chorus. I guess okay,
I like it. I think it's a good song. I
(08:04):
think it's one that after I listen to it a
couple of times, it's gonna settle in. But arian a
great production as usual, her mic technique is better than
anybody else's in the business. If he has me, she's
so good at a studio. Sounds like Arianna would I
like a bigger kind of pop song baby, But clearly
it's not what she's going through on this song. But
I like it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I mean, I think it's a solid B plus. So
on one hand, I'm a little disappointed because I would
like for a date for the lead single to be
at least an A minus or an A A to
A plus. It's good, maybe it's even very good. Like
it's very pleasing on the ears. It's wonderful, elevator music, soothing.
(08:43):
So yeah, her vocals sound amazing. I give her major
props because she wrote all the lyrics by herself. I
don't know if that includes melody. The production was done
by Max Martin and one of the other producers that
Max works with. Really, it's just it's still a little sleepy.
You can have a it's just there.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's pretty well, it's vibe but you know, back to
the first single thing, I don't think she cares. I
think arian is now in a lane where she really
isn't about pleasing or chasing something, you know what I mean.
I think she releases what she wants to release, and
I think she probably really likes this song and I
(09:23):
listen to it. I really like this song too. Does
that mean it's gonna be a hit song? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I mean it'll be a hit song just because she's
Ariana Grande.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Maybe whatever hit means. You know, it depends on what
your definition is of that. But you know, look, overall,
it's cool. She's cool to me. She doesn't get enough
cool points from the world if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, I don't think she's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I think her music is. I don't know if
she's cool, but I think her music is.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think some of her music is.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I just like her technique though, her processes and her instincts.
When you hear an Ariana song, it sounds like Arianna.
She has a sound, and it's not even so much
where it like she has a mic setting and it
just stays there. She just floats inside of everything she does.
Everything she does is so well produced, and I think
it's because she knows what she's doing with a microphone.
(10:11):
She truly does. I always hear it when. I'm always
impressed by that. A lot of pop stars don't know
how to do that she does.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I just think her fans are older now, she's older. Now,
she's just got to be in her thirties. Wait, how
old is she? Let me see, Ariana Grande is thirty two.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Two.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
She'll be thirty three later this month. Happy early birthday.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's pretty grown.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Up, I know. But is this like a kind of
song that excites your fans. I'm not excited by it?
Are you excited by it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You are? I kind of want to hear it again,
Yeah I am. I mean, look, I'm I don't need
a cliche pop.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Here's the perfect example, that song of hers that came
out a while ago, break up with your boyfriend and
agree with your girlfriend. Like that's a mid tempo that's
not like a super high energy track. But that's an
exciting song. Okay, this lacks excitement to me.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I don't think she's looking for excitement. I think she's
looking for a vibe. And I guess telling a little
story and look I can't wait to listen to it again.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I just think the bar is higher for a first
single for me.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I don't think it matters that for me, that's the difference.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I guess, well, congrats to her. It's not a bad song.
I give it a solid B range B plus B
maybe B. Anyways, OK, let's move on. We're having a
bad case of deja vu. Just weeks after Brad Pitt's
daughter walked across the stage at Spelman College and was
introduced as Zahara jo Lee, not Zahara Joe Lee Pitt,
(11:39):
his son Maddox has taken it a step further, and
Maddox has filed legal paperwork to drop the pit from
his name, joining sister Shiloh, Brad's biological child, who last
year legally dropped the pit from her name. And Shiloh
is eighteen. I Believeloh or nineteen. Now let me see Shiloh.
(12:02):
Joe Lee is now twenty, So she was nineteen when
she did that. So when everything went down with Brad,
she was ten. It's just sad. I don't think it's
parental alienation. I would like to believe not.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I think that it could be as simple as I
don't need two famous people last names in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But you could just you don't need to like legally
change it. You could just not go by one professionally.
It's a clear sign that you want nothing to do
with the pit.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Maybe it's just too many famous last names simplifying it.
I think the boy Maddox, I think he went through
it during the really hard time.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
He was a lot older. I think he's twenty four.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
He was old enough to remember it and really was,
like my mom raised me. I don't really have much
to do with him anymore. I want to drop that
from my last name still.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Anyways, it's sad. It's sad, and it's actually tied to
our next story. Jennifer Lopez is twin, one of the twins,
and I think they go to different schools, is what
I heard. Emmy graduated from high school and the father,
Mark Anthony, was not there, didn't even take to social
media to wish congratulations. Could it be that Emmy told
(13:17):
Mark Anthony not to show up or would he just
or is he just too busy? And even so, if
I'm not going to miss my child's high school graduation
or college graduation, I'm not too busy for that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't know how that split went for everyone.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This raises eyebrows. Maybe it was worse than we thought.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, I don't know what that could be about, Like
why one of your parents wouldn't come.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And it's not like he couldn't get a ticket. It's
mark Anthony didn't make space for him, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Unless he had something that he just could not get
out of. Booked for a year, two years, it'd be
nice to like cross references schedule to find out where
he was.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Instead, I'd still cancel that. Oh, this corporate gig, I'll
just have to pay the money back, final, pay the
money back whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That's a different story. But if it's like you know,
a festival or a tour and you're you know, uprooting
a lot of people, it's a big business. I'm sure
it's a big to do. But maybe back to your point,
maybe the kid was like, you don't have to come.
I don't really care. This could be a lot to
do about nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, congratulations, I wonder what I think that both of
them are going to go to college. If I remember
Jlo saying something like that, which is nice, A lot
of NEPO babies might just skip college and do the
influencer thing or whatever. Yeah, so congrats. This is a
great topic because I wonder what women our listeners think
(14:37):
about this. Eight hundred seventy two one eight five. Now
I don't know if this is true or not, but
it got a pretty good track record. It's this is
from the Daily Mail and actually I don't even care
about these people, but this is sad. So the Daily
Mail explains what happened between Selena Gomez and her former
besties Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, and this is what
(15:00):
they say. Nikola and Selena actually met at an event
when she saw Justin Bieber and Hayley and needed a wingwoman,
and Nicola swooped in and invited her to sit with her.
But eventually Selena felt Nikola was stealing her friends as
(15:20):
she started hanging out with her friends without her present,
and that bothered Selena, so Selena separated herself. I mean,
you don't own people. You can't dictate who your friends
hang out with or don't.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Right, or if they're going to make their own independent
friendship outside of you, that's perfectly normal.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, so I'm team in this instance, team Nicola and Brooklyn,
and I don't know all the details, but like you know,
if you're moving to a new city and you meet
somebody cool, you become friends with that person that you
just moved to a new city with, and they have friends.
I would just think it's natural and normal that you
then start hanging out with friends of that friend that
(16:03):
you made, right, Yeah, I agree, Well we're in agreement
with that. Also, The Daily Mail reported earlier this year,
months ago that Charlie Demilio, that famous social media personality,
is estranged from her family, and now that's turned out
to be true. The Daily Mail reported this the beginning
(16:26):
of twenty twenty six. Now du Mois reported the same thing. However,
Charlie Demilio's father responded left a comment on the Dumas
post saying that Charlie is being manipulated. So basically this
all has to do with money and allegations that when
she was a minor, her parents withdrew money from her accounts. Now,
(16:49):
I don't know if that's illegal, it might be shady
if like she was the one that made all the money.
I think that they have legally, parents have to put us.
I think it's called the act, like you have to
put aside like a certain amount, but I don't think
you could put aside all of it. So like if
they were entitled to I don't know, fifty percent, then
they're entitled to fifty percent whatever that might be.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And looking back on all that, I feel like the
family was involved with that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
There were two daughters, right, And what makes it messy is,
according to both reports, according to The Daily Mail months
ago and du moi now the sister is siding with
the parents. So she's now a strange from her sister too.
Man showbiz and all this stuff, or even not showbiz,
but like.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Money, money and money bucks everything up clou yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Clout klow attention all of that.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, it's hard to manage. I gotta think it is.
You know, you get this weird fame.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Well, allegedly they were pretty well off before all of this.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Still, it's their own money, you know what I mean.
It's not their parents' money anymore. It's their empire that
they look. The parents are always somewhat behind this. I
doubt that they, you know, they figured this out on
their own. I think that they probably had some help
with the like said, with the rich parents and getting
things off the ground and meeting managers and this and that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Oh yeah yeah that yes, yeah, but with a TikTok
she just got lucky.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
No, yeah, I mean it's like lightning strikes.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Well, speaking of weird, I'm having like the worst
case of deja vu again because it seems like America.
I don't know if it's a global thing, but at
least in the US, everybody is obsessed with not even
just true crime junkies, but the general public with that
Mackenzie Shariah and that Netflix documentary about her murdering her
(18:33):
boyfriend and his friend the crash, And it just feels
so ichy because like we're having it's like a gypsy
Rose Blanchard two point zero again, this girl is spending
fifteen to life behind bars and she might eventually get released.
Was that parole or early release? Yeah? And I feel
(18:53):
like even the worst of the worst, like Casey Anthony,
it's like it's just I don't get it, Like we
make these awful people celebrities.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I couldn't agree with you more. I agree, like why,
and then their fame it gets them in the minds
of some their notoriety people believe like, oh they were overcharged.
It's like the Melendez brothers. They kill their fucking parents,
you know what I mean. Like, if they sit behind
bars for the rest of their lives, I'm okay with that.
You let them go. It's probably not going to affect
(19:22):
me either. But this fame and these shows and when
you dramatize their lives for whatever reason, people are like, well,
let's you know, let's let them out, Like huh no,
let's fucking not glorifying these heinous things that people do,
and letting them out early because they got famous somehow
from them is just odd to me.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah. I don't know if my opinion on this has changed.
I guess I guess it has not. I actually went
live on TikTok with the sister of the boyfriend. She
started a podcast she's streaming trying to get this law
pass would change or modernize. I think it's called the
(20:03):
Son of Sam laws, you know, meaning that you can't
profit off of the awful things that you did. Specifically,
you know, talking about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who's now on
TikTok and is on all these social media platforms. And
when I first spoke to her, the sister, I said
this sounded like a good idea to me. Then over
(20:24):
the weekend as like, well, I'm also like a hardcore
free speech person and plus like you know, if somebody
does their time, like okay, if you did your twenty
years behind bars, then you're, you know, according in the
eyes of the law, like not absolved, but you did
your time, and should you be prevented then from being
better and doing better? But if somebody died, if you're
(20:46):
responsible for somebody's death, you should obviously be able to
get a job somewhere. But I don't know if you
should be like on TikTok or YouTube or whatever, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Right, there should be like a hard line in the sand.
I think, to your point about modernizing the law to
catch up with social norms like TikTok and different platforms
and such, it does need to be constantly tweaked and
sensible things need to happen, because you're right, people are
back during it because when they came up with these laws,
(21:17):
no one could even envision to the social media. You
couldn't see these things coming. So it's like, yes, they
do need to be adjusted. A line in the sand,
A very simple line in the sand, if somebody lost
their life, you do not get to utter a word
outwardly to anyone about this ever, on any sort of
online platform or news platform for that matter. Enough dramatizing
(21:40):
that situation. I mean, look, these shows like Dateline, they
do the same thing. They're profiting off of the stories
of other people, and it's just a different way to
do it. I think it should be a hard line
in the sand, like no. But then there's the other
side of it. You're reporting the news, and you know,
you do want to get the people that were acue
(22:00):
found guilty of something. You do want to get their
side of it, to have a fair and rounded story.
I mean, I guess I get that too, but I
don't know. Making money off of it just seems gross
to me.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I agree, and like, get a job at the waffle house. Okay, yeah,
move to There are still lots of places where you
could live cheaply in the US, you know, go to
North Dakota or whatever. I don't know, go to Alaska.
I mean, but hopefully she'll be behind bars for the
rest of her life. Yeah, all right, once again getting
a bad case of deja vu. Once again we're hearing
(22:32):
from Miley Cyrus's brother Trace a few months ago, I
recall on one of our shows talking about how he
was smack talking his father, right, or maybe more than
a few months ago, Not that long ago.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Wasn't that long ago? I remember?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, Now Trace Cyrus has slammed his sister Brandy Cyrus
and the entire family. He went on one he alleges
that his sister Brandy rented him a mold infested house,
and he felt compelled to take to social media to
talk about this. In a series of videos, he said,
(23:08):
all right, storytime, guys, I've tried to be really fucking nice.
So I was renting this house from my lovely sister Brandy,
happy belated birthday. What an asshole. That's a dick move,
like sneaking in the happy birthday dick move. Yeah, I
was renting this house from my lovely sister Brandy, happy
belated birthday. A mold infested fucking home. It's been problem
(23:33):
after problem. I just got clean water. Fucking recently, I
didn't even have clean fucking water. I'm sleeping on a
fucking air mattress downstairs. The reason I can't put out
my fucking album or my music this summer like I
was planning, I got a fucking move again. Wow, how
many members of my family are just gonna go completely
(23:57):
batshit crazy and be pieces of shit? It just never
ceases to amaze me. The way that I'm treated by
my own family is absolutely fucking disgusting.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Fuck you, well, he's the problem this on social media? Wow?
Just wow, you're the problem.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah. I do have a little bit of empathy and
compassion for him. It must be hard being in my shadow.
You know, he's the wind beneath Miley Cyrus's wings, and
well they all are, and his father too, both of them.
He's like he's an afterthought, you know, nobody thinks of him,
and for a guy maybe you know, the sister Brandy's
(24:37):
done a better job of like, yeah, I'm an afterthought,
but I'm going to fucking monetize this and live a
happy life, you know, like I'm the other I'm the sister,
and I'm gonna profit off the names.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
They're all choices, and this choice that he's made to
do this is kind of disgusting. To be honest with you,
I agree. You have to look at it like it's
a lucky and wonderful thing. Not only do you have
one one person that made it out of the shadow
of someone else in the family, but that equals two
people that actually made it in your family. That's impressive,
(25:09):
that's amazing. It's hard to do with all the you know,
nepotism in the world. The daughter got bigger, you know,
is somehow bigger. And yeah, I feel badly for the
famous people of the family because I didn't do anything
other than follow their dreams.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
They're probably used to it or fed up with.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh they are. I'm sure Miley is used to it
by now.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Sure he's been a nuisance for a while. In other
wacky news, Paul Rudd once and for all is ending
the speculation. He says that he does not get botox
to his face and he just is naturally blessed.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I didn't know there was speculation for Paul Rudd, that's
the thing. Huh Apparently, Yeah, does he look like he said?
Because I've know it doesn't look like it to me.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh my gosh. Have you seen Adam Levine recently?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That's kind of yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Interesting, he got more than botox. It looks like he
got like, not even a facelift. I think the rumor
is it's called like, basically, he got like shit under
his eyes taken off the pullback upper blast blasts, whatever
the fuck it's called.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I don't know. It looks like the uppers and the
lower sto.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh, maybe he's younger than me. How old is he?
He's one year younger than me. He's forty seven. He
turned forty seven in March.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
That's early to have things like that.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Anyways, Bethany Frankel was on a podcast recently, and she
claims that she makes twenty million dollars approximately a year
through brand partnerships people that pay her to advertise on
her socials. Bullshit, show me the receipts. Bullshit. No way,
(26:47):
that's true. No way.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well, I mean, we just did a story the other
day about some shoes and some knockoffs.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, but she's not making twenty million dollars doing that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
She's not doing enough of those. She tags a lot
of people. You were saying, she's.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Not twenty million dollars, No chance.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I've always thought the Kardashians were completely and utterly full
of shit for the amount of money that they claimed
that they made from their social media and butt creams
and every fucking thing else, but you know, a sucker's
board every day. So and by the way, at the
airport in Burbank Airport in Vegas Airport, I'm walking through
and I see those Kylie vending machines. I don't see
anybody at them. I see them with her face and
(27:25):
her product and all that stuff. So somebody, I guess
must be buying them elsewhere. I didn't see anybody buying
them there, but they all seem pretty full to me.
Maybe they stalked up the machine that morning, but they're
in business with somebody. It skims people love that, and
I think the Kylie lip stuff people love that, so
maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Speaking of Bethany Frankel, I'm not a breath Any Frankel hater,
although actually I feel like people used to kind of
like her, and over the last few years people are
have like turned on her. Anyways, she walked in this
sports illustrated runway show in Miami over the week weekend,
and she looks amazing. She looks so good. She looked good,
(28:04):
like you could tell like she had been even working
out extra hard for it. So good on you also,
love Island. I don't give a fuck. I'm not going
to start watching Love Island. Do you watch Love Island?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It's on here she watches.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh God, probably gonna be even bigger this year, I think,
because it was really big last year. It's about to
start and controversy already. One of the contestants for Love
Island USA Season eight has been removed from the show
after videos of her using the N word surfaced.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Don't any of these people bother to check their social media? Like, like,
there's got to be a point when you're in there, But.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
It's not even that, Like if you like, let's say,
there's a lot of young people that stream on TikTok. Right,
if you stream on TikTok, in theory, it's just you know,
a live stream. It's ephemeral, but people can be screen
recording and clipping you. So shit, dumb shit you say
can be dug up, even if it's and that's I
(29:03):
didn't see the videos. I don't know exactly the context.
But you're never really safe ever, you're not, and you
just don't say it. Don't be dumb.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I mean, we've even learned that the things that you
text other people, they can be held against. You can
be SUBPOENAEDDI, yes, yeah, nothing is private. Nothing all right?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Two quick things? Do you watch Euphoria?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I stopped. I didn't get into this year. It looks
so dumb with the whole Sydney Sweeney influencer, and I
don't buy the whole Nate thing. It just seemed dumb to.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Spoiler alert if you haven't watched it. But I'm sure
it's one of those things where if you did not
watch it when it premiered last night, then you're going
to be upset because everybody's talking about it and everybody's
spoiled it already. Have you heard what happened?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, Nate died last week, right or something? He was
buried or see.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Kenny Lordie's character died last week and on the finales
and Daya died.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I said, it's spoiler alert.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I know. I don't care. It's like one of those
they ruined a really good show.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, like, I don't know. Like that's like if I
was watching Sex in the City and they killed Carrie Bradshaw,
I would not like it.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
But she was an addict on the show and she
had problems, and it's a realistic ending for addicts either
you stop or you die. I mean one or the other. True.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
The guy who the Sam Levinson I believe, the creator
and producer of the show, said in the New York
Times Popcast interview that it was a tribute or it
felt right given that one of the stars of the
show died that way, Angus McLeod, Angus Cloud. I forget
his name. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, And he was so good, that kid. It's such
a loss. That kid was so good in the role.
He reminds me of Mac Miller. Every time I looked
at him. He was Mac Miller to me, and who
unfortunately went that way as well.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Crazy. Speaking of euphoria, Sidney Sweeney, you sent me a
video of her and Scooter Braun going to Times Square
and you thought they were so cute.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I think they're cute.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
A lot of people probably find them obnoxious and annoying,
shoving their cuteness in everybody's faces.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
People are very triggered.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They were, I think if I remember it, he captioned it.
When your girl, it's eleven PM, and your girl says
she's never been to Times Square before, and then she
goes to Times Square.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, but they get on bicycles and they're riding through
New York City and she's got a hoodie on it.
Nobody knows it's her, and it's it's just what a
regular couple would probably post. And they did that. And
if you don't like it, I guess you don't like it.
I think it's cute.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I'm not I'm not bothered by.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I'm not saying you. I'm just stop saying. In general, Yeah, people,
like I said, people are very triggered by everything I did,
Like the watching the Scooter Braun interview.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I was gonna I was gonna say, and finally, yeah,
Scooter Braun, I just good segue gave a new interview
where he talked about Taylor Swift again and I'm just
surprised he did that. Well, he was asked, I know,
but why even respond be like I've talked about this
already or this is such an old story, Like I
don't even know why? What good do you think? Well,
(32:05):
so let me give you Basically, Scooter said, he's only
met Taylor Swift three times, and I believe him. Seems legit. Yeah,
and he's unsure why all of this happened, But I
believe him, and I just don't know. I feel like,
just let it go, or maybe it's still bothering. Maybe
it's like he's I don't know, it's clearly still bothering him.
That's probably why you talked about it well.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I mean, even seeing this, you got clarification of kind
of what I'd always suspected that there's two sides to
every story. And I think she villainized him for profit,
and I will always think that because the receipts kind
of seemed to be there to suggest that. And I
don't know how it went down. I don't know why
there needed to be a villain I think he doesn't either.
(32:49):
But at the end of the day, I think it's
part of his story and what made him famous and rich,
and people are going to be curious, you know, because
he put himself out there. Bieber put him out there.
So it is what it is. I've always said that
story always stunk, and it still stinks to this day.
I still think it's a little bit of a blemish
on the history of that story that we're pushed upon people.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Well, I don't I don't need it. I don't give
a fuck. I don't need a documentary. I don't need.
I don't need They've they've already done that. Actually they did. Yeah,
we don't need any more of this, Okay, if he
continues to talk about.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It, right, Okay, agreed.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
So now he's done it, he doesn't need to talk about.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It anymore, right, I guess. But he was asked at
some point. It is his story as well. He was
ostracized by the world, and he summed it up pretty good.
He was an industry darling and people liked him. And
no one had a bad word to say about Scooter
Brawn anybody, nobody in this business, nobody I know ever has.
I mean, he's very highly regarded, and he woke up
(33:50):
one morning and all of a sudden he's the enemy.
He's like, what the fuck did I do? I didn't
do anything. I met this girl like a couple of times,
and I made a business decision, and her business decisions
she had bad guidance. And that's the bottom line. She
did not know what she was worth, and her people
did not know what her work was worth. Then they
made a villain out of him for it, and it
(34:11):
was patently unfair. And I still see it that way,
and I still love her, But I just think that
stories become stories. You know, that's just it. It's all
it is. It's just a story. All right.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Let's take a call. Hi.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
This is Taylor calling from Ontario, Canada. I listened to
you guys for a well over well eleven years. I
looked it up on Google and it does you guys
started your podcast in July twenty fifteen, So that that true,
that accurate. My other thought was, did you guys ever
get into a time a fight? I know you guys fight.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
On a show.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Or do we play this? I feel like we played this.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I think we played this.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Did we ever get in a fight? And we said, yes,
we always get into fights. Hi, this is Kelly from Colorado.
I am laughing at my ass off at Perez.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
If she thinks.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Supervised his freshman child on a date like this, that's
a third.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
I mean you could go to the restaurant and hang out.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
And I don't know, Well, then she won't date. Then
if it's not chaperoning, then then freshman year is too
young to date.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Being at a restaurant. You're right alone, seems to be
you're only what fifteen as a freshman, Yeah, so that
seems too young anyhow, exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
But if I was there, then I'm like, okay, fine,
this is harmless.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yeah, I guess I'm with you, all right, I'm with
you on this, all right, let's wrap it up.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton would appreciate it. If
you signed up, you get an extra episode a week
and the message board that we're active on. If not,
we'll see you all next Monday.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Thanks guys,
PHR and only Pez guilt.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Hi, Freds, Welcome to the PHP booker here, Perez there.
How do you do, sir?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm well excited. We're talking some divas today, specifically the
return of Arianna Grande. Also some Selena Gomez tea which
I think could be true. Also, Jennifer Lopez has gone
viral this week and in a way that I think
actually makes her look good. Plus yet another bad update
(00:43):
for Brad Pitt and Bethany Frankel. But first, how are you?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I'm good? A way to Vegas this weekend. I saw
that No Doubt show, which I thought was phenomenal. I
found the most moving thing though, was just walking in
watching thousands upon thousands of women that had the garbond,
the checkered pants, whatever, the different looks of Gwen over
the years, and to like realize what she means to
(01:10):
so many young women. Really, to me was the most
moving thing about the whole thing. And the story that
they tell of No Doubt throughout the music is great
and a good story and maybe a little lesson for
me because I knew it was coming, you know what
I mean, Like I knew the oranges were going to
fall when the orange Groves came over. Everybody. I got
a couple of the oranges.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Oh lucky, I gave one away.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
There was a girl next to me. It was one
of our listeners and she was dressed up to the
whole Gwen Stefani thing. And it's funny. I think you
could actually hear in the video, one of the videos
that I posted. She was like no, and she was
like so upset, and I'm standing here and I go, hey,
I just tapped her and I go here you go.
She's like, oh my god. You know, it's like I
got two what do I need to for? But it
(01:53):
was sweet. It was a really great show. There's only
a couple of weeks left, I think, for no doubt
to do this, but well, and I loved it. I
just thought it was so good. And I just have
a feeling that it's better now than it was in
the beginning as well, because I think you mentioned or
I heard before that maybe the vocals weren't the best.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh no, I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay, well some people had and I was like, what, Like,
she sounded phenomenal, And I think just you know, the
longer you do a show, it's like a Broadway production.
Almost it gets better and better, and I just thought
it was great.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I remember when I went on opening nights. She even
commented saying, I sound really good for night or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
You know she did, she sounded really good. The band
was so tight and a well crafted show, all the
minutia into the stories and the old video, and it
just was really touching. And yet the show was great.
If anything, it was too long.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I would have said that. Also. The only notes that
I had were that first visual made me a little.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It was like a roller coaster as you come into
the Tragic Kingdom.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
It was too intense. Yeah, And the second note is
that it could have been a little tighter. They should
have maybe done a medley of them maybe instead.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Good idea, Yeah, maybe a little section of it, because
it was you started off with a few songs that
were pretty unfamiliar. I actually, yeah, a second song most
of them. You're right, you wouldn't know, And that'd be
my only note. But I think you can't really change
it because of the visuals and how everything plays out.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So yeah, it is what it is. I was actually
at the Venetian yesterday, which is kind of like the
host hotel for the Sphere. You can walk directly there.
And as I was pulling in, I saw a listing
for all the Metallica dates that starts in the fall,
and then I was just thinking. As I was parking,
I was like, I think I only know that one Metallica.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Song and that's all you know. Sad but true. I
don't know it till it sleeps, you know that song?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I know way more bon Jovie than I know Metallica.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Those were hip pop songs. Yeah, I can't wait for Metallic.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I'm going to January anyways. Yeah, let's get right to it.
But an eventful time was had this week end by
Dua Lipa and actually this annoys me. I mean, obviously
your kids are going to do whatever they want, but
I would give my opinion. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner,
the actor got married at old marley Bone Town Hall
(04:15):
in London. But she even wore like a little like
how would I describe it? It was like a power
suit business casual wedding vibe outfit with like a little
hat that was very like power like very eighties. And
I get it. They're getting married this weekend, I believe,
or sometime this week in Italy and it's supposed to
be a big to do with probably a lot of celebrities,
(04:39):
But like, why not just get married legally after the
big Italian wedding? I feel like that first time should
be like the first time, you say, I do, Like,
if my daughter's getting married and they have to do
it like the courthouse to you know, make it legal,
It's like, Okay, I get that, but do the big
wedding first, then get married at the courthouse.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah. I don't know. I think you just maybe want
to get it out of the way. You want to
go on your honeymoon. They got beaches to take their
clothes off of, you know what I mean. Like, I
think it's just more of like just get it out
of the.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Way, I guess, or why can't they Like maybe it's
because in another country, it's like why can't you do
both at the same time.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Maybe, Well, congrats to them. Yeah, I didn't actually know
he's an actor. I didn't know that. That's the first
time I've heard this.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh, he's one of the front runners allegedly to be
the new James Bond. Oh really, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So he's been in some things. Has he been in
any movies that I would know.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Let's see. No, he's done some big things.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Okay, I just didn't know he was an actor.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He was in Fantastic Beasts, one of the Harry Potter movies,
but that came out a while ago. I don't know
any of these movies. Oh, he did a few of
those Fantastic Beast movies.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So he's a working actor. Okay, I guess I just
didn't know that. I don't know much about the guy.
I know how he looks in The Bathings too.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The Boys in the Boat, Masters of the Air, I
don't know any of them.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh he was in Boys in the Boat. Yeah, oh wow,
that's a good crude.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
He's been working for a long time too.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That Boys in the Boat is about a rowing team,
if it's the movie that I'm thinking about, And I
saw that on a plane. I forget who did that movie,
but they did it with a bunch of no names,
like there were no big stars in that movie.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Oh it was directed by George Clooney.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Clooney, Yeah, Clooney did that, And maybe the coach of
the team was somebody you might know, but the rest
of them were unknowns. And what a powerful movie. What
a great story that is. If you guys want a good, solid,
like really well done piece of cinema, I recommend that
all day. Such a good movie.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, congrats to them. Usually we don't, well sometimes we
talk about these things up the top, but I feel
like this is worthy of a beginning of show discussion.
Oh shoot, I didn't even send it to you. I'm
just kind of hoping you listen to it. Ariana Grande
released her new single, her comeback song after a few years,
(06:55):
called Hate That I Made You Love Me? Have you
listened to it? No?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
And I hate that title already.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You haven't listened to it.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I didn't know. I didn't know. I knew it was coming,
but I just you know, I've been in Vegas mode
since the weekend, so I didn't really listen to anything.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Do you want to live? Listen to it?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Now? Hold on, let me get my Spotify open.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Because I've listened to it a few times now. Maybe
your first listen reaction will be the same as mine.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
There it is, so let me listen to this trippy
can to.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Something.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's dancing fun.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Let's gus smooth smooth hook her chorus. I guess okay,
I like it. I think it's a good song. I
(08:04):
think it's one that after I listen to it a
couple of times, it's gonna settle in. But arian a
great production as usual, her mic technique is better than
anybody else's in the business. If he has me, she's
so good at a studio. Sounds like Arianna would I
like a bigger kind of pop song baby, But clearly
it's not what she's going through on this song. But
I like it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I mean, I think it's a solid B plus. So
on one hand, I'm a little disappointed because I would
like for a date for the lead single to be
at least an A minus or an A A to
A plus. It's good, maybe it's even very good. Like
it's very pleasing on the ears. It's wonderful, elevator music, soothing.
(08:43):
So yeah, her vocals sound amazing. I give her major
props because she wrote all the lyrics by herself. I
don't know if that includes melody. The production was done
by Max Martin and one of the other producers that
Max works with. Really, it's just it's still a little sleepy.
You can have a it's just there.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's pretty well, it's vibe but you know, back to
the first single thing, I don't think she cares. I
think arian is now in a lane where she really
isn't about pleasing or chasing something, you know what I mean.
I think she releases what she wants to release, and
I think she probably really likes this song and I
(09:23):
listen to it. I really like this song too. Does
that mean it's gonna be a hit song? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I mean it'll be a hit song just because she's
Ariana Grande.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Maybe whatever hit means. You know, it depends on what
your definition is of that. But you know, look, overall,
it's cool. She's cool to me. She doesn't get enough
cool points from the world if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yeah, I don't think she's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I think her music is. I don't know if
she's cool, but I think her music is.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think some of her music is.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I just like her technique though, her processes and her instincts.
When you hear an Ariana song, it sounds like Arianna.
She has a sound, and it's not even so much
where it like she has a mic setting and it
just stays there. She just floats inside of everything she does.
Everything she does is so well produced, and I think
it's because she knows what she's doing with a microphone.
(10:11):
She truly does. I always hear it when. I'm always
impressed by that. A lot of pop stars don't know
how to do that she does.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I just think her fans are older now, she's older. Now,
she's just got to be in her thirties. Wait, how
old is she? Let me see, Ariana Grande is thirty two.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Two.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
She'll be thirty three later this month. Happy early birthday.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
It's pretty grown.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Up, I know. But is this like a kind of
song that excites your fans. I'm not excited by it?
Are you excited by it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
You are? I kind of want to hear it again,
Yeah I am. I mean, look, I'm I don't need
a cliche pop.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Here's the perfect example, that song of hers that came
out a while ago, break up with your boyfriend and
agree with your girlfriend. Like that's a mid tempo that's
not like a super high energy track. But that's an
exciting song. Okay, this lacks excitement to me.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I don't think she's looking for excitement. I think she's
looking for a vibe. And I guess telling a little
story and look I can't wait to listen to it again.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
I just think the bar is higher for a first
single for me.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I don't think it matters that for me, that's the difference.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I guess, well, congrats to her. It's not a bad song.
I give it a solid B range B plus B
maybe B. Anyways, OK, let's move on. We're having a
bad case of deja vu. Just weeks after Brad Pitt's
daughter walked across the stage at Spelman College and was
introduced as Zahara jo Lee, not Zahara Joe Lee Pitt,
(11:39):
his son Maddox has taken it a step further, and
Maddox has filed legal paperwork to drop the pit from
his name, joining sister Shiloh, Brad's biological child, who last
year legally dropped the pit from her name. And Shiloh
is eighteen. I Believeloh or nineteen. Now let me see Shiloh.
(12:02):
Joe Lee is now twenty, So she was nineteen when
she did that. So when everything went down with Brad,
she was ten. It's just sad. I don't think it's
parental alienation. I would like to believe not.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I think that it could be as simple as I
don't need two famous people last names in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
But you could just you don't need to like legally
change it. You could just not go by one professionally.
It's a clear sign that you want nothing to do
with the pit.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Maybe it's just too many famous last names simplifying it.
I think the boy Maddox, I think he went through
it during the really hard time.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
He was a lot older. I think he's twenty four.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
He was old enough to remember it and really was,
like my mom raised me. I don't really have much
to do with him anymore. I want to drop that
from my last name still.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Anyways, it's sad. It's sad, and it's actually tied to
our next story. Jennifer Lopez is twin, one of the twins,
and I think they go to different schools, is what
I heard. Emmy graduated from high school and the father,
Mark Anthony, was not there, didn't even take to social
media to wish congratulations. Could it be that Emmy told
(13:17):
Mark Anthony not to show up or would he just
or is he just too busy? And even so, if
I'm not going to miss my child's high school graduation
or college graduation, I'm not too busy for that.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I don't know how that split went for everyone.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
This raises eyebrows. Maybe it was worse than we thought.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, I don't know what that could be about, Like
why one of your parents wouldn't come.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
And it's not like he couldn't get a ticket. It's
mark Anthony didn't make space for him, you know.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Unless he had something that he just could not get
out of. Booked for a year, two years, it'd be
nice to like cross references schedule to find out where
he was.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Instead, I'd still cancel that. Oh, this corporate gig, I'll
just have to pay the money back, final, pay the
money back whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That's a different story. But if it's like you know,
a festival or a tour and you're you know, uprooting
a lot of people, it's a big business. I'm sure
it's a big to do. But maybe back to your point,
maybe the kid was like, you don't have to come.
I don't really care. This could be a lot to
do about nothing.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, congratulations, I wonder what I think that both of
them are going to go to college. If I remember
Jlo saying something like that, which is nice, A lot
of NEPO babies might just skip college and do the
influencer thing or whatever. Yeah, so congrats. This is a
great topic because I wonder what women our listeners think
(14:37):
about this. Eight hundred seventy two one eight five. Now
I don't know if this is true or not, but
it got a pretty good track record. It's this is
from the Daily Mail and actually I don't even care
about these people, but this is sad. So the Daily
Mail explains what happened between Selena Gomez and her former
besties Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, and this is what
(15:00):
they say. Nikola and Selena actually met at an event
when she saw Justin Bieber and Hayley and needed a wingwoman,
and Nicola swooped in and invited her to sit with her.
But eventually Selena felt Nikola was stealing her friends as
(15:20):
she started hanging out with her friends without her present,
and that bothered Selena, so Selena separated herself. I mean,
you don't own people. You can't dictate who your friends
hang out with or don't.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Right, or if they're going to make their own independent
friendship outside of you, that's perfectly normal.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Yeah, so I'm team in this instance, team Nicola and Brooklyn,
and I don't know all the details, but like you know,
if you're moving to a new city and you meet
somebody cool, you become friends with that person that you
just moved to a new city with, and they have friends.
I would just think it's natural and normal that you
then start hanging out with friends of that friend that
(16:03):
you made, right, Yeah, I agree, Well we're in agreement
with that. Also, The Daily Mail reported earlier this year,
months ago that Charlie Demilio, that famous social media personality,
is estranged from her family, and now that's turned out
to be true. The Daily Mail reported this the beginning
(16:26):
of twenty twenty six. Now du Mois reported the same thing. However,
Charlie Demilio's father responded left a comment on the Dumas
post saying that Charlie is being manipulated. So basically this
all has to do with money and allegations that when
she was a minor, her parents withdrew money from her accounts. Now,
(16:49):
I don't know if that's illegal, it might be shady
if like she was the one that made all the money.
I think that they have legally, parents have to put us.
I think it's called the act, like you have to
put aside like a certain amount, but I don't think
you could put aside all of it. So like if
they were entitled to I don't know, fifty percent, then
they're entitled to fifty percent whatever that might be.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And looking back on all that, I feel like the
family was involved with that.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
There were two daughters, right, And what makes it messy is,
according to both reports, according to The Daily Mail months
ago and du moi now the sister is siding with
the parents. So she's now a strange from her sister too.
Man showbiz and all this stuff, or even not showbiz,
but like.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Money, money and money bucks everything up clou yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Clout klow attention all of that.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, it's hard to manage. I gotta think it is.
You know, you get this weird fame.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Well, allegedly they were pretty well off before all of this.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Still, it's their own money, you know what I mean.
It's not their parents' money anymore. It's their empire that
they look. The parents are always somewhat behind this. I
doubt that they, you know, they figured this out on
their own. I think that they probably had some help
with the like said, with the rich parents and getting
things off the ground and meeting managers and this and that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Oh yeah yeah that yes, yeah, but with a TikTok
she just got lucky.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
No, yeah, I mean it's like lightning strikes.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Well, speaking of weird, I'm having like the worst
case of deja vu again because it seems like America.
I don't know if it's a global thing, but at
least in the US, everybody is obsessed with not even
just true crime junkies, but the general public with that
Mackenzie Shariah and that Netflix documentary about her murdering her
(18:33):
boyfriend and his friend the crash, And it just feels
so ichy because like we're having it's like a gypsy
Rose Blanchard two point zero again, this girl is spending
fifteen to life behind bars and she might eventually get released.
Was that parole or early release? Yeah? And I feel
(18:53):
like even the worst of the worst, like Casey Anthony,
it's like it's just I don't get it, Like we
make these awful people celebrities.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I couldn't agree with you more. I agree, like why,
and then their fame it gets them in the minds
of some their notoriety people believe like, oh they were overcharged.
It's like the Melendez brothers. They kill their fucking parents,
you know what I mean. Like, if they sit behind
bars for the rest of their lives, I'm okay with that.
You let them go. It's probably not going to affect
(19:22):
me either. But this fame and these shows and when
you dramatize their lives for whatever reason, people are like, well,
let's you know, let's let them out, Like huh no,
let's fucking not glorifying these heinous things that people do,
and letting them out early because they got famous somehow
from them is just odd to me.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah. I don't know if my opinion on this has changed.
I guess I guess it has not. I actually went
live on TikTok with the sister of the boyfriend. She
started a podcast she's streaming trying to get this law
pass would change or modernize. I think it's called the
(20:03):
Son of Sam laws, you know, meaning that you can't
profit off of the awful things that you did. Specifically,
you know, talking about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who's now on
TikTok and is on all these social media platforms. And
when I first spoke to her, the sister, I said
this sounded like a good idea to me. Then over
(20:24):
the weekend as like, well, I'm also like a hardcore
free speech person and plus like you know, if somebody
does their time, like okay, if you did your twenty
years behind bars, then you're, you know, according in the
eyes of the law, like not absolved, but you did
your time, and should you be prevented then from being
better and doing better? But if somebody died, if you're
(20:46):
responsible for somebody's death, you should obviously be able to
get a job somewhere. But I don't know if you
should be like on TikTok or YouTube or whatever, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Right, there should be like a hard line in the sand.
I think, to your point about modernizing the law to
catch up with social norms like TikTok and different platforms
and such, it does need to be constantly tweaked and
sensible things need to happen, because you're right, people are
back during it because when they came up with these laws,
(21:17):
no one could even envision to the social media. You
couldn't see these things coming. So it's like, yes, they
do need to be adjusted. A line in the sand,
A very simple line in the sand, if somebody lost
their life, you do not get to utter a word
outwardly to anyone about this ever, on any sort of
online platform or news platform for that matter. Enough dramatizing
(21:40):
that situation. I mean, look, these shows like Dateline, they
do the same thing. They're profiting off of the stories
of other people, and it's just a different way to
do it. I think it should be a hard line
in the sand, like no. But then there's the other
side of it. You're reporting the news, and you know,
you do want to get the people that were acue
(22:00):
found guilty of something. You do want to get their
side of it, to have a fair and rounded story.
I mean, I guess I get that too, but I
don't know. Making money off of it just seems gross
to me.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I agree, and like, get a job at the waffle house. Okay, yeah,
move to There are still lots of places where you
could live cheaply in the US, you know, go to
North Dakota or whatever. I don't know, go to Alaska.
I mean, but hopefully she'll be behind bars for the
rest of her life. Yeah, all right, once again getting
a bad case of deja vu. Once again we're hearing
(22:32):
from Miley Cyrus's brother Trace a few months ago, I
recall on one of our shows talking about how he
was smack talking his father, right, or maybe more than
a few months ago, Not that long ago.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Wasn't that long ago? I remember?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yeah, Now Trace Cyrus has slammed his sister Brandy Cyrus
and the entire family. He went on one he alleges
that his sister Brandy rented him a mold infested house,
and he felt compelled to take to social media to
talk about this. In a series of videos, he said,
(23:08):
all right, storytime, guys, I've tried to be really fucking nice.
So I was renting this house from my lovely sister Brandy,
happy belated birthday. What an asshole. That's a dick move,
like sneaking in the happy birthday dick move. Yeah, I
was renting this house from my lovely sister Brandy, happy
belated birthday. A mold infested fucking home. It's been problem
(23:33):
after problem. I just got clean water. Fucking recently, I
didn't even have clean fucking water. I'm sleeping on a
fucking air mattress downstairs. The reason I can't put out
my fucking album or my music this summer like I
was planning, I got a fucking move again. Wow, how
many members of my family are just gonna go completely
(23:57):
batshit crazy and be pieces of shit? It just never
ceases to amaze me. The way that I'm treated by
my own family is absolutely fucking disgusting.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Fuck you, well, he's the problem this on social media? Wow?
Just wow, you're the problem.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah. I do have a little bit of empathy and
compassion for him. It must be hard being in my shadow.
You know, he's the wind beneath Miley Cyrus's wings, and
well they all are, and his father too, both of them.
He's like he's an afterthought, you know, nobody thinks of him,
and for a guy maybe you know, the sister Brandy's
(24:37):
done a better job of like, yeah, I'm an afterthought,
but I'm going to fucking monetize this and live a
happy life, you know, like I'm the other I'm the sister,
and I'm gonna profit off the names.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
They're all choices, and this choice that he's made to
do this is kind of disgusting. To be honest with you,
I agree. You have to look at it like it's
a lucky and wonderful thing. Not only do you have
one one person that made it out of the shadow
of someone else in the family, but that equals two
people that actually made it in your family. That's impressive,
(25:09):
that's amazing. It's hard to do with all the you know,
nepotism in the world. The daughter got bigger, you know,
is somehow bigger. And yeah, I feel badly for the
famous people of the family because I didn't do anything
other than follow their dreams.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
They're probably used to it or fed up with.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Oh they are. I'm sure Miley is used to it
by now.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Sure he's been a nuisance for a while. In other
wacky news, Paul Rudd once and for all is ending
the speculation. He says that he does not get botox
to his face and he just is naturally blessed.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I didn't know there was speculation for Paul Rudd, that's
the thing. Huh Apparently, Yeah, does he look like he said?
Because I've know it doesn't look like it to me.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh my gosh. Have you seen Adam Levine recently?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
That's kind of yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Interesting, he got more than botox. It looks like he
got like, not even a facelift. I think the rumor
is it's called like, basically, he got like shit under
his eyes taken off the pullback upper blast blasts, whatever
the fuck it's called.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I don't know. It looks like the uppers and the
lower sto.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Oh, maybe he's younger than me. How old is he?
He's one year younger than me. He's forty seven. He
turned forty seven in March.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
That's early to have things like that.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Anyways, Bethany Frankel was on a podcast recently, and she
claims that she makes twenty million dollars approximately a year
through brand partnerships people that pay her to advertise on
her socials. Bullshit, show me the receipts. Bullshit. No way,
(26:47):
that's true. No way.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well, I mean, we just did a story the other
day about some shoes and some knockoffs.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Yeah, but she's not making twenty million dollars doing that.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
She's not doing enough of those. She tags a lot
of people. You were saying, she's.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Not twenty million dollars, No chance.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I've always thought the Kardashians were completely and utterly full
of shit for the amount of money that they claimed
that they made from their social media and butt creams
and every fucking thing else, but you know, a sucker's
board every day. So and by the way, at the
airport in Burbank Airport in Vegas Airport, I'm walking through
and I see those Kylie vending machines. I don't see
anybody at them. I see them with her face and
(27:25):
her product and all that stuff. So somebody, I guess
must be buying them elsewhere. I didn't see anybody buying
them there, but they all seem pretty full to me.
Maybe they stalked up the machine that morning, but they're
in business with somebody. It skims people love that, and
I think the Kylie lip stuff people love that, so
maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Speaking of Bethany Frankel, I'm not a breath Any Frankel hater,
although actually I feel like people used to kind of
like her, and over the last few years people are
have like turned on her. Anyways, she walked in this
sports illustrated runway show in Miami over the week weekend,
and she looks amazing. She looks so good. She looked good,
(28:04):
like you could tell like she had been even working
out extra hard for it. So good on you also,
love Island. I don't give a fuck. I'm not going
to start watching Love Island. Do you watch Love Island?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It's on here she watches.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Oh God, probably gonna be even bigger this year, I think,
because it was really big last year. It's about to
start and controversy already. One of the contestants for Love
Island USA Season eight has been removed from the show
after videos of her using the N word surfaced.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Don't any of these people bother to check their social media? Like, like,
there's got to be a point when you're in there, But.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
It's not even that, Like if you like, let's say,
there's a lot of young people that stream on TikTok. Right,
if you stream on TikTok, in theory, it's just you know,
a live stream. It's ephemeral, but people can be screen
recording and clipping you. So shit, dumb shit you say
can be dug up, even if it's and that's I
(29:03):
didn't see the videos. I don't know exactly the context.
But you're never really safe ever, you're not, and you
just don't say it. Don't be dumb.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I mean, we've even learned that the things that you
text other people, they can be held against. You can
be SUBPOENAEDDI, yes, yeah, nothing is private. Nothing all right?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Two quick things? Do you watch Euphoria?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I stopped. I didn't get into this year. It looks
so dumb with the whole Sydney Sweeney influencer, and I
don't buy the whole Nate thing. It just seemed dumb to.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Spoiler alert if you haven't watched it. But I'm sure
it's one of those things where if you did not
watch it when it premiered last night, then you're going
to be upset because everybody's talking about it and everybody's
spoiled it already. Have you heard what happened?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Well, Nate died last week, right or something? He was
buried or see.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Kenny Lordie's character died last week and on the finales
and Daya died.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I said, it's spoiler alert.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I know. I don't care. It's like one of those
they ruined a really good show.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yeah, like, I don't know. Like that's like if I
was watching Sex in the City and they killed Carrie Bradshaw,
I would not like it.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
But she was an addict on the show and she
had problems, and it's a realistic ending for addicts either
you stop or you die. I mean one or the other. True.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
The guy who the Sam Levinson I believe, the creator
and producer of the show, said in the New York
Times Popcast interview that it was a tribute or it
felt right given that one of the stars of the
show died that way, Angus McLeod, Angus Cloud. I forget
his name. I apologize.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Yeah, And he was so good, that kid. It's such
a loss. That kid was so good in the role.
He reminds me of Mac Miller. Every time I looked
at him. He was Mac Miller to me, and who
unfortunately went that way as well.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Crazy. Speaking of euphoria, Sidney Sweeney, you sent me a
video of her and Scooter Braun going to Times Square
and you thought they were so cute.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I think they're cute.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
A lot of people probably find them obnoxious and annoying,
shoving their cuteness in everybody's faces.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
People are very triggered.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
They were, I think if I remember it, he captioned it.
When your girl, it's eleven PM, and your girl says
she's never been to Times Square before, and then she
goes to Times Square.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, but they get on bicycles and they're riding through
New York City and she's got a hoodie on it.
Nobody knows it's her, and it's it's just what a
regular couple would probably post. And they did that. And
if you don't like it, I guess you don't like it.
I think it's cute.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
I'm not I'm not bothered by.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I'm not saying you. I'm just stop saying. In general, Yeah, people,
like I said, people are very triggered by everything I did,
Like the watching the Scooter Braun interview.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
I was gonna I was gonna say, and finally, yeah,
Scooter Braun, I just good segue gave a new interview
where he talked about Taylor Swift again and I'm just
surprised he did that. Well, he was asked, I know,
but why even respond be like I've talked about this
already or this is such an old story, Like I
don't even know why? What good do you think? Well,
(32:05):
so let me give you Basically, Scooter said, he's only
met Taylor Swift three times, and I believe him. Seems legit. Yeah,
and he's unsure why all of this happened, But I
believe him, and I just don't know. I feel like,
just let it go, or maybe it's still bothering. Maybe
it's like he's I don't know, it's clearly still bothering him.
That's probably why you talked about it well.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I mean, even seeing this, you got clarification of kind
of what I'd always suspected that there's two sides to
every story. And I think she villainized him for profit,
and I will always think that because the receipts kind
of seemed to be there to suggest that. And I
don't know how it went down. I don't know why
there needed to be a villain I think he doesn't either.
(32:49):
But at the end of the day, I think it's
part of his story and what made him famous and rich,
and people are going to be curious, you know, because
he put himself out there. Bieber put him out there.
So it is what it is. I've always said that
story always stunk, and it still stinks to this day.
I still think it's a little bit of a blemish
on the history of that story that we're pushed upon people.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Well, I don't I don't need it. I don't give
a fuck. I don't need a documentary. I don't need.
I don't need They've they've already done that. Actually they did. Yeah,
we don't need any more of this, Okay, if he
continues to talk about.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It, right, Okay, agreed.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
So now he's done it, he doesn't need to talk about.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
It anymore, right, I guess. But he was asked at
some point. It is his story as well. He was
ostracized by the world, and he summed it up pretty good.
He was an industry darling and people liked him. And
no one had a bad word to say about Scooter
Brawn anybody, nobody in this business, nobody I know ever has.
I mean, he's very highly regarded, and he woke up
(33:50):
one morning and all of a sudden he's the enemy.
He's like, what the fuck did I do? I didn't
do anything. I met this girl like a couple of times,
and I made a business decision, and her business decisions
she had bad guidance. And that's the bottom line. She
did not know what she was worth, and her people
did not know what her work was worth. Then they
made a villain out of him for it, and it
(34:11):
was patently unfair. And I still see it that way,
and I still love her, But I just think that
stories become stories. You know, that's just it. It's all
it is. It's just a story. All right.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Let's take a call. Hi.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
This is Taylor calling from Ontario, Canada. I listened to
you guys for a well over well eleven years. I
looked it up on Google and it does you guys
started your podcast in July twenty fifteen, So that that true,
that accurate. My other thought was, did you guys ever
get into a time a fight? I know you guys fight.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
On a show.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Or do we play this? I feel like we played this.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
I think we played this.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Did we ever get in a fight? And we said, yes,
