Speaker 1 (00:01):
For Los Angeles, Prank Gilt.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And one and only.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Perez Guilt.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
My guys, welcome to our PHB Booker. Perez, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Lots to get to today, including the big wedding over
the weekends, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. Also some Prince
Harry news that is official according to him. I'll explain
what plus Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl halftime show, Lola Young,
Amanda Binds, and more. But first I have to start
(00:42):
with what I did this weekend. I took my kids
to go see Benson Boone, my first time seeing him live, and.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
He was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, you know what was really special was this last
album of his didn't have like a monster hit like
Beautiful Things did on his debut. And it doesn't matter
because the songs live felt like monster hits. Like He's
so sensational. His voice is truly special. He's like a
(01:10):
male adele. Like I'm trying to think maybe Teddy Swims perhaps,
but there aren't too many power vocalists out there. I
think Teddy Swims is the only other one. Like, of
all the other guys out there, who can.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You think is like I have to go back in time,
I have to be like Freddie Mercury. I have to
do kind of like that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I mean, maybe Bruno Mars, but Bruno is a lot
older too. And also what I kept thinking as I
was leaving the show, and I'm like, all right, maybe
the songs didn't resonate with the masses, but they're working
live and that means they're going to have legs. And
also this kid, he's twenty three years old. You know,
Chapel Rone is older and closer to third I mean,
(01:52):
maybe not that much. She's twenty six, twenty seven, Yeah,
but when he was making this most recent album he
was twenty two.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
He's still young.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
He's got a lot of run ahead of him and
a lot of talent already.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And the more that you work on the craft of songwriting,
the more that you do things, the better you get
at it. So I'm excited for what he does next.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I saw him take a run off of the stage
like a higher level and flip onto the lower level
like it like it was a skip. I mean that
a loade because said thank you good night. And he
does have a song out that I heard on the
radio the other day, and I was like, this is great.
So whatever the single is right now, I really liked it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I don't know what the current single is.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I really couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
The miss single, magical song, that's it. Okay, yeah that's
a great song.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah yeah, that's a hit song.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And really just at the end of the day, that voice,
and he plays piano too.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
He's just he's the total pack.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, sure check him out if you guys have a
chance to do that. Anything you were up to this weekend?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Did I do anything? I don't think I did anything.
Oh yes I did. I went to an event on
Thursday night. My friend put on this party with the
what's the guy's Max whatever from Dancing with the Stars Maxim, Yes,
yeah Maxim, and Kellen was dancing with him. He was
given like some dance lessons and it's wild like watching
people that have that skill. Kellen's like one of those
(03:12):
people that can like look at something and go oh
yeah I could do that and just does it. Me
it would take me nine years to figure out how
to piece two steps together. I'm a moron when it
comes to that. Meanwhile, my mom teaches dance, but I
don't have that Gene but it was cool.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It was nice.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He was such a nice guy and he's got a
new vodka and yeah, so I did that Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Sometimes I hate that I'm a responsible person because I
got invited to this horse show yesterday, Global Champions Arabians Tour.
They had Megan Trainer performing, but she wasn't going on
till late at night. And I'm like, I love Meghan Trainor.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But by the way, she is morphing into Paris Hilton.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Totally right, totally.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I saw her the other day and I was like,
what's Paris doing And I went, holy shit, it's Megan. Yeah,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, no, I love her, but I want to wake
up early to go to the gym. So I went
to the gym and you know, life, I feel you.
That was fun and getting to see all these beautiful horses.
Oh my god, these horses are worth millions of dollars each.
It's insane. I saw Benson Boone here in Vegas. And
speaking of Las Vegas, Dolly Parton announced over the weekend
(04:22):
that she is going to be rescheduling her residency that
was supposed to kick off in December, and by a lot.
It was supposed to start this December, and now her
shows are being moved to September of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Dolly says that she's got to have some medical procedures done.
But you know what, this is how you do it.
If you know you're going to be having to deal
with something, let your fans know months ahead of time,
not like the day of or a couple days before,
or even weeks before.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well a lot of those have to do with somebody
dying or someone being very ill. You know, you that coming.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I mean not always. I mean Adele just didn't have
her shit together in time.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
She didn't like the way her staging looked. That was
her bee deal with it, you know what exactly. The
people flew to Vegas to see you deal with.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
It exactly exactly. So sending Dolly all the positive vibes.
And she's, you know, seventy nine years old.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
She really Yeah, she's a national treasure.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I agree with her.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I saw this clip of her talking about retiring or not,
and she said that she would rather wear out than
rust out, meaning if she retires, she's more likely to
rust out quickly, but if she keeps going, then she'll
just wear out whenever she wears out, and I love
that philosophy. So yeah, that's how I'm gonna be. Also,
(05:48):
I hope. I think, oh my god, I went from
one legal drama to another legal drama.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You did, yes, you put somebody off.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I pissed off the Kardashian jen I got a threatening
legal letter from Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner's lawyer because.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
We published this article about ray J.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Ray J was on a live stream and he was
talking smack and said, oh, I'm working with the FEDS
on a RICO investigation against Chris Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
And I got a letter from her lawyer saying this
is not true. This is very serious, this is libelous.
(06:32):
We demand you take it down and issue a retraction.
And I responded back saying, no, if you want, I'm
more than happy to include a statement. This man said
this on a live stream. I'm reporting on what he said,
and I never said this is true. I never said
(06:53):
I even believed it. But I'm like, oh, look at
this clip. I included the fucking clip. I went back
and I reread what was written, and there's nothing problematic
about it. And thanks to Blake Lively, I learned one
super important thing. In order to prove defamation, it's more
than just proving that something is not true. It's also
(07:16):
proving that the person who shared it acted with malice. Malice, Yeah,
I did not act with malice whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, So to me, this is what it sounds like.
Ray J was running his mouth, yes, and trying to
be funny. Yeah, and zaid I got a Rico investigation
on them because he finds that word to be funny
and he's always going to be attached to Kim Kardashian
because of the sex tape they made. So I think
there's that and I think that's what happened. They don't
like it. But the thing is, I don't get it, like,
(07:46):
just let it go away.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
What's crazy is of all the people in the world,
Kim Kardashian going after the fucking media. Kim Karda, you
should be thanking the media for your mega mansion and
the fact that people are still talking about you. And also,
if you're going to go after anybody, go after rage A,
don't go after me and other people. And it's it
(08:08):
was I get it. It was clearly a blanket email
they sent out to everybody because some damn PARI poor
pairalegal emailed me, and it said in the bio of
the email pairalegal, and in the email itself, the letter
that was attached, it didn't even include my name or
a link to my article, it said, to whom it
(08:30):
may concern.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This just sounds like somebody's trying to get some attached
to Bay.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, it was just dumb, I said, I responded, I
literally called out the lawyer. I'm like Alex Spiro thought
this was a good idea to send to me.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Dumb, real dumb.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I don't want to sound too cocky, but thanks to
chatch Ept, I'm less afraid than before of any of
these like legal threats.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, Well, don't get yourself in the soup again.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Right, Just remember how miserable you are.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I don't want to, I said, I will add a statement.
You know, I do want to make sure that I'm
accurate and fair. But I was accurate and fair, and
if anything, it's clear the guy didn't fucking read my
article because I was supportive of Kim. I literally said
in the article, if ray J is not being truthful.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
He might have a lawsuit on his hands, right whatever. Anyways,
let's lighten things up.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, I called it.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I said we were gonna get the Super Bowl halftime
show announcement on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You didn't tell me that.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Not to you, but I did say it recently on
one of my live shows.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Anyways, whatever doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I knew I felt it was coming because they've never
announced the super Bowl halftime show after September, and they've
historically been doing it on Sundays. So anyways, they announced
Bad Bunny, and I don't know what to believe. It's
hard for me to believe that there is some outrage
over this choice. I've only seen thus far one concern
(10:00):
commentator upset by it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It only takes one in this world.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They'll make you think the house is burning down and
you're like, no one cares.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
This is like Sydney Sweeney Part two.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, the rest has been overwhelmingly excited. Even the people
who aren't Bad Bunny fans understand. For the last four years,
five years, this guy has been one of the top
streaming artists worldwide every single year, touring as well. I
think it's a brilliant choice. He's beloved by Latinos. That's
(10:36):
a huge audience in the US. They're also trying to
make in roads at expanding the global reach of.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
The American country.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
They've been having games in other countries.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Steelers were in Dublin this weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
WOW for a regular game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Home game in Dublin, they played the Vikings. The Vikings.
Listen to this. The Vikings are staying in Europe. They're
going to play in London this weekend, so they have
two away games in Europe, which is wild.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's fun though.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I mean, if you have a family, it's a little
bit of a drag for the players. But mostly these
guys are twenty two to twenty three, but some of
them have family.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's only two weeks. Jeez, Luise, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know what this made me think of. Though, Remember
how Cardi B said recently that she was asked to
do the Super Bowl halftime show. What if she was
asked to do it with Bad Bunny and to share
the performance and she said no to that.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
That's the point I brought up. Yeah, she would be
added to somebody, and that should have been a good
tell for everyone. That they were going with a you know,
Latino artist or an urban act and not like a
Metallica or a Green Day or even an Adele or
Taylor Swift even. But yeah, you know, he's lovable. He
just is. And I think there's a lot of people
(11:49):
that haven't been exposed to Bad Bunny, and I think
he's gonna bring it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And I love that Bad Bunny has been doing this
now since twenty sixteen. Yeah, and has never released a
song in English.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
He could, but he doesn't have a desire to do that.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So it's gonna be all these Spanish language songs, which
is different than when Shaquita and Jennifer Lopez did it.
You know, Shakda did English language songs in some Spanish language,
but mostly if I remember, it was English language. So
this will be the first time ever that somebody will
be singing just songs in Spanish at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I didn't think about that. Everybody's going to be bitching
the night of the Super Bowl. Well what the fuck?
I could say the comments already, where's my SAP button?
You know things like that. I just like his music
so much that I guess I'd forgotten that he'd never
done one song in English, which is shocking to me.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He doesn't need to he's so successful.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
He is anti ice though, and very pro trans I
think it's fucking great. I hope it pisses people off,
fucking snowflakes.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Also big news over the weekend, Selena Gomez is officially
a married woman. She said, I do in Santa bar
to Benny Blanco. It was a star studded affair, with
many celebrities in attendance, including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, who,
according to reports, both gave speeches during the wedding reception afterwards.
(13:16):
You know what, actually, before I even tell you all
of the other celebrities that were there, I don't know.
Hopefully we get an answer to this. It was so
a choice. They got married and like within minutes she
shared photos.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Kellen brought that up, and she said, there's no rush
for people to try to find these. There's no like
trying to fish for crap or get paparazzi shots or anything.
They just put them out. It is a great move.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
A bunch of celebrities were there.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Her murders in the co Star murders in the Building
co stars Steve Martin and Martin Short were there, Paul
Rudd was there, Paris Hilton was there, Sizza Gamilla, Gavello,
Kara de Lavigne, Eric i'm Phineas, Zoe de Saldana, Edgar
Ramirez and some of her Wizards of Waverley Place family
(14:08):
as well. Congrats to them. She looks beautiful wearing custom
made Ralph Lauren. I loved actually the vibe as she
went for it was giving me seventies. It was very
seventies everything and minimal but still intricate and congratulations. I
wish them a long life of happiness. And now it's
(14:32):
time for Taylor Swift's wedding, whatever that will be. And
it's Taylor album release week and we still don't have
a single.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Damn it. I thought we were going to get one.
But what's the point now?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Actually releasing a single now could hurt if the single's
not a mega smash.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, what is your prediction? Do you think this will
be a great first single or is it going to
fall a little flat because there's another artist we have
to talk about.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't know. I feel I'm worried. I think, oh
oh wait, wait, there's the other artist, Tate. We'll get
we'll get to Tate later. We'll get to Tate later.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, Okay, I remember okay, yeah, you remember something?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, yes, yes, yes, I have it in my list.
I have it in my list. I'm nervous. I feel
like she overhyped it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
But maybe I shouldn't be nervous because if she overhyped it,
like she's got to be able to deliver on that.
But I'm still nervous because for her to overhype something,
it's like it almost sets the bar too high.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We'll see. How is she now thirty four?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Only thirty four?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I mean she's still so ginormous.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Oh please, She's the most ginormous.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, so we'll see, we'll see Fingers crossed, all right.
This is I don't know how I want to describe it,
but it's a fascinating topic that has gotten strong reaction
from both conservatives and liberals. The wife of Charlie Kirk
Eric Kirk, has taken over his organization Turning Point and
(15:59):
also taken over his show. And it's only been a
couple of weeks since he died and she's back to work,
and both conservatives and liberals have been criticizing her for
this and I'm here in the middle, like, fuck, y'all.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Like I may not want to do that, but maybe
this woman with young children who loved this man so
much just wants a distraction. Working keeps her mind off
of the pain. And everybody grieves differently. It's not like
she's already dating. Okay, listen, if she was dating somebody else,
I would judge that story. But she's not like linking
(16:38):
up with Don Junior or something. You know, she's just
like going back to work.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I wouldn't put too much thought into it. But it's surprising.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, it was surprising seeing the amount of criticism on
both sides.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, so do you. Isn't she like a pageant queen
or something she was? Yes, yeah, those people like attention,
so she likes attention whatever, good for you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And you know they're programmed, like the show must go on.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Weere pajack. Yeah, it's like in her DNA. I don't
see that as problematic whatsoever. This though, I don't say.
I don't know if this is problematic, but it could
be either disappointing or an opportunity depending on how Jimmy
Kimmel plays it. Kim Will returned to TV last week
after a very brief hiatus, and this week he is
(17:27):
going to be on the road. His shows are coming
at US from Brooklyn, and one of his guests has
gotten a lot of people talking. Kimmel is having Ryan
Reynolds as a guest from Brooklyn, and I wonder there
must have been a conversation had about the whole it
ends with us saga. The question will be does kim
(17:49):
Oll tell Reynolds what that question will be or does
he agree not to even ask a question about that?
And then if he doesn't ask a question about that,
that's lame as fuck.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well, yeah, yes, and no, this isn't a news show.
It's a comedy show.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But he's made it about so much news. He's talked
politics so much.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But he's there to kiss the ass of actors. You know,
it's a vehicle to promote whatever they're out there trying
to hawk. Will there be a kind of side eye joke,
kind of thing that buffers the whole thing? I think so,
because to your point, I think people would expect something
to be said because you know, he is tangled up
(18:29):
in this somehow, you know what I mean, This isn't
his thing. It's his wife's pilgrimage that she's embarked on.
So it must be hard because he definitely wants to
stay away from that. You'd think and let that thing
just die, but it's not gonna die until it's addressed
in court.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
And that's not happening at least until March of twenty
twenty six, no kidd. So wow, all right, Well, curious
to see how that plays out.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Prince Harry is speaking out on the record.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
This is surprise.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
We all know that Harry and his father recently had
a little face to face reunion. Wouldn't necessarily call it
a reconciliation, but perhaps it could be. And for some reason,
Prince Harry released a statement over the weekend, upset that
some people are classifying his meeting with his dad as
(19:24):
anything other than what it was. He doesn't like that
some source basically he's attacking the palace without attacking the palace.
He doesn't like those that are sabotaging any reconciliation efforts.
Let me read to you this statement. Recent reporting of
the Duke's view of the tone of the meeting is
categorically false. Harry has denied claims that his recent meeting
(19:49):
with his father left him feeling like an official visitor
rather than a family member.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The quotes attributed.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
To him are pure invention fed one can only assume
m by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father
and son. Presumably those same sources have also chosen to
disclose that gifts were exchanged. This is all just so
(20:18):
confusing to me, Like, what have you changed? What was
the point of releasing this statement? Why are you even
confirming that gifts were exchanged?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Like, I don't get any of it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I think it's a damned if you do and damned
if you don't, meaning I think the crown my history
is correct. They would rather you say nothing because people
are gonna write whatever they're gonna write anyhow, and I
think that's always been the way. Then on the other
side of the coin, people are putting this out there
and making the assumption that he's feeding that narrative.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Well he's feeding it now, Well you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
That's where I come up with damned if you do
and damned if you don't. You know, He's like, look,
I'm trying here, and I want my my family to
know I'm trying, but yet I'm going against a family
by saying anything. The right reaction would be to send
an email to your family and say, hey, I'm seeing
these stories too. Just want to let you guys know
(21:14):
this isn't coming from me and let it go because
the Crown doesn't want you talking about anything to the press.
But to your point, they're Kardashians. This is what they
do now. The landscape has changed, and that's the rub.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Well.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I do wish for the reconciliation, and I hope that
works out for them. All right, Oh god, I think
I'm doing a better job of blocking out all the
noise and not getting too upset about it. But there's
so much noise every day. And I knew this is
what was going to happen when Donald Trump got elected.
Today again, but today the very latest And if there's
(21:50):
a showbiz angle, don't worry. He's going to put a
one hundred percent tariff on movies imported into the United
States are made out of the United States, which which
is interesting because a lot of big movies are made
out of the United States, like the New Spider Man film.
They're making that in Scotland. Yeah, I'm sure Disney will
be thrilled to pay a one hundred percent tariff on
(22:12):
that wonderful.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
How does that even work? Is that going to be
in the box?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Not?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
How do it have we?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
That's a fascinating How are you gonna tear iff a movie?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You're not. It's just another silly distraction, that's all. This is.
Even putting any more time into trying to dice up
any of this, It's just another silly distraction. Please confirm
the elected officials so they can get the Epstein files
out there. But that's not what they want you talking about.
That's what's going on, period, period, dot period.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
He's also threatening to withhold federal funding from New York
City if that Democratic candidate Zoran Mamdami Mamdani is elected. Yeah,
he will be meddling. And there's such a thing as
like endorsing somebody. But this is more than an and
this is like, this is not this is like, this
(23:03):
is like a threat.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yes, it's authoritarianism and this story is only the tip
of the iceberg. For that, we don't have to get
into it. But yeah, it's happening in every facet of everything.
But hopefully we can have a fair election, which I
doubt they'll probably cancel that.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
All right.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Well, speaking of the Epstein files, Elon Musk is mentioned
on there, but not in like he was supposed to
meet Jeffrey Epstein but ended up not meeting him. Interesting
though that that was released but nothing else was released.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Mm hmm, all right over the weekend. Oh, this was
so sad.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Lola Young, this up and coming, moderately successful, already British singer,
was performing at a music festival in New York City
when she passed out during her set. I saw the
moment and she just like fell backwards.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Luckily she didn't crack her head open. I know, hit
it on a riser. It was scary, and she's had
some problems recently, so you hope for the best for her,
but she seems to be a little overwhelmed. It's very
Chapel Rnish to me. You know. Chapel was going through
it for a minute and lashing out, and she has
seemed to find a place where she could kind of
(24:18):
coexist with fame, and I think Lola is going to
have to get there at the beginning. I think it's
a lot of yes, yes, yes, yes, I'll do that.
I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll do that because
you're trying to make it. And then once you realize
how much work that is and how taxing it is
on you and you can't get out of it, things
like this happen. So you know, if i'm her team,
(24:39):
I pull her from everything.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We don't exactly know if it's truly similar to Chapel.
It might be health, truly health related things. With Chapel,
it was more like boundaries and mental health.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I heard mental health with Lola, but I don't know,
and I don't want to speculate it, and I shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
She didn't feel it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It could be she could have the flu for all
we thought. But it still plays into your aarying. These
kids too thin. And it's not necessarily anybody at management's
fault either, because you know the artist once at all,
especially a hungry artist. It's a lot of yeah, yes, yes, yes,
I'll do this, that everything, and a lot of big
looks and you know, big checks which you've never seen
(25:17):
before either.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So yeah, well, I hope none of my kids want
to be musicians.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That's a rough life, I mean, a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
The hardest, the hardest We've said it, I've said it before,
say it again, all right? And more music related news.
Tate McCrae released a new single on Friday called Tit
for Tat and did you get.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
A chance to listen to it?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I did? Indeed.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I have two thoughts, three thoughts. Don't interrupt me.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
It's not a hit, but it's a good song. You're laughing.
I heard the laugh. It's not a hit, but it's
a good song. And I liked it.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
The first time I heard it, I was just I
just wanted it to be a smash. It's not smash,
but I like it, and I kept listening to it
over the weekend. And you have to acknowledge this. It's
just like a soothing song on the ears. It's a
kind of song that you'll hear on the radio and
not switch the station. So it's like, okay, it can
(26:16):
be like a song that'll peak at number twenty, but
I wanted her to have a number one or two
or three single. And it's like, okay, the top twenty song.
It's fine, whatever, but it's not a bad song.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And I like it.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Okay. I couldn't make it through it. I thought it
was more of the same. I find her music to
be so average at best, and it has very few
redeeming qualities for hit music. I think it'll be higher
than twenty on the chart. Oh, she's Tate McCree.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I hope it's it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
She's gonna get every look that there is. She's doing
every festival and saying yes to everything, and that tends
to help you move your music up these fake charts.
But let's just say it's not for me. Because you
like that sound and you've been consistent about it, and
I would expect you to say you think it's good
because you think the rest of her stuff is Yeah,
I think the rest of her stuff is outter shit.
(27:03):
And this just sounds like utter shit to.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Be Oh, it's not utter shit at all.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
For hit pop music. It's utter shit for whatever she's
doing her lane, that Charlie XCX feel in the vibe
of the time, it's an a it's more of the
same of that sound. I have a different bar for
pop music and what it should be.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
There's nothing Charlie XCX about it, really.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Well, non hit ish. Charlie XCX doesn't really need hit
you know what I mean. Like it's in the pocket
of something that's a vibe, that's a sound, it's an
earworm that this generation's created. I would like to kill
that fucking worm. Okay, that worm should be shot and
put to sleep. If you ask me, make hit songs.
But this is nothing that will ever be memorable. It's
(27:48):
nothing that you're gonna turn on the radio and listen
to the music of the twenties and say, oh, I
remember this fucking smash You won't. It sucks.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Well, it's better than a lot of the other new
music that came out this past week, like Ice Spice
released a new song called Baddie Baddie, which.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I didn't expect that either. It's not good, it's really
baddy Baddy.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Khalid also released a new song that's just so boring.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He's one gear to Me.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Rita Ora released a new song that's also so boring,
but I liked it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I liked it.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
She's never really She's never gonna have anything great my
two favorite songs those people like music recommendations. This might
surprise you because I don't even like this band five
seconds of Summer five Sauce.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They're back, And actually you might like this.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I bet I would. I like the production and the
things they do.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
You might play it on your station.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
The song is called not Okay, and it reminds me
of Prodigy in the nineties, really like five Starter. Yeah,
I'm like, it's almost too much of a ripoff, but
I like it and it's been a long time since
that sound.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
And then my other song, this is more like pop
middle but cool. This girl named Isy Escobard. The song
is called Vendetta and it's just I don't know, I
feel like I can always tell when like a but
maybe I'm wrong. Pop but like it's got European sensibility,
but maybe she's not.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I don't even know anything about her, but it's cool.
Check it out. Is he Escobar Vendetta.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I've been working with this kid. Her name is Jasmine Starr.
She's her and her dad they were listeners back in
the day, and she's like a crazy guitarist, kind of
a prodigy. Anyhow, She's got a song that just went
on serious. It's called to be Fair, So check that out.
I like it a lot. I hope to see her happen.
It's a song that's been played on the radio a
couple of times.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What do you mean you've been working with her, just.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Trying to help her get management and which I have,
and trying to get her songs on the radio, which
I have. So nice, it's cool to see I still
got a little juice to get to get a song
played every now and again. Nice to be fair. Check
out that song.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
More music news, there was this play in in Sync
reunion that was going to happen next year, but according
to a new report, because of Justin Timberlake's lyme disease,
that has now been put on hold indefinitely unfortunately. But
I would think wouldn't that be easier than like going
on the road ever again by yourself, like there's four
(30:18):
other people, Like it's easier.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well, dancing's hard.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Also, Amanda Bndes has got herself a new boyfriend. She
just went public with him, and I just hope it's
somebody that's got good intentions and is not trying to
take advantage of her, you know, but everybody deserves love,
and I wish her all the happiness with her new guy.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
We don't really know much about him. Also, she's a babe.
Holy heck.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Sasha Baron Cohne is dating somebody literally half his age
after his divorce from Ala Fisher. And she just so
happens to be a OnlyFans model, but she probably she's
probably like top tier only fans model, Like she probably
may like I got let me send you one quick
(31:08):
picture of her.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I've seen her. I've seen her online.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
She's very pre you've seen her. Oh wow, Hannah Palmer, damn,
Like wow.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I want to put my hand in my Palmer first.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Hey, all right? Also, JK Rowling just a hateful She's
such a dick, hateful person.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Emma Watson recently, you know, spoke out about JK Rowling
and extended an olive branch and JK Rowling basically said
fuck off without saying it in so many words. Rowling
said on Elon Musk's platform, the go to for people
(31:50):
like that.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The hate machine.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Yeah, a little reminder for anyone who may be regretting
their very public sprint to the front of the mob
and is now trying to discreetly shove their pitchfork out
of sight. She linked to a post that she had
written a few months ago about the British Supreme Court,
saying that a woman is only somebody who was biologically
(32:14):
born a woman and Mom, I'm like, I get it,
you feel very strong in your views, but this young
woman was saying that she loves you and like you
are not receptive, and that just tells me a lot
about you.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I say, yeah, it's just so weird that someone that
wrote those wonderful books with such an imagination is just
a horrible human, just so full of hate or I
don't know, toxic opinions, but they're her opinions. You know,
that's how you want to behave go ahead.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Also, Drew Barrymore her Listen, her talk show is still
on the air.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
That's a miracle.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know how that show has been able to
stay on for as long as it has because it
gets like zero buzz.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It just fills programmed, you know what I mean. Like
these cable channels in the day, they're just trying to
make things cheap. And one person's getting paid her.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
But her beauty brand, Flower Beauty, is going out of business.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Unfortunately, I didn't even know she had a beauty brand.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, for over a decade, so it did pretty well.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
And finally, Rob Kardashian is going to be returning in
some capacity to the Kardashian's reality show, Kim revealed in
a new interview, and a lot of fans are very
excited about that. They're always rooting for him and it'll
be nice to see him again.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Hey, this is Donna. I am calling from Buffalo, New York,
and your hope that Tit for Tat I Take for
Cray would be a hit. Former college DJ here club dj,
I just know I.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Don't like it.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Sorry, I'm just really tired of all this top music
sounding the same. It's so predictable. I was a DJ
in the late eighties early nineties and I mainly spun
house's dance music energy. I'll turn it in blah blah blah,
and you.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Don't need to know all that. But no, just a
no for me, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And love you guys, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
For what you do.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I am a Patreon subscriber a little. It's than six
months and I plan on Danna long timer. Love you,
Love you Hi.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I mean, I get it. It's not groundbreaking, but I
like it.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Okay, Well, I like that she subscribes to our Patreon show.
That's our second show of the week. For those of

have a great week, everybody, See some of you on Thursday.
For Los Angeles, Prank Gilt.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And one and only.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Perez Guilt.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
My guys, welcome to our PHB Booker. Perez, how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Lots to get to today, including the big wedding over
the weekends, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. Also some Prince
Harry news that is official according to him. I'll explain
what plus Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl halftime show, Lola Young,
Amanda Binds, and more. But first I have to start
(00:42):
with what I did this weekend. I took my kids
to go see Benson Boone, my first time seeing him live, and.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
He was wonderful.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah, you know what was really special was this last
album of his didn't have like a monster hit like
Beautiful Things did on his debut. And it doesn't matter
because the songs live felt like monster hits. Like He's
so sensational. His voice is truly special. He's like a
(01:10):
male adele. Like I'm trying to think maybe Teddy Swims perhaps,
but there aren't too many power vocalists out there. I
think Teddy Swims is the only other one. Like, of
all the other guys out there, who can.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You think is like I have to go back in time,
I have to be like Freddie Mercury. I have to
do kind of like that kind of thing.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I mean, maybe Bruno Mars, but Bruno is a lot
older too. And also what I kept thinking as I
was leaving the show, and I'm like, all right, maybe
the songs didn't resonate with the masses, but they're working
live and that means they're going to have legs. And
also this kid, he's twenty three years old. You know,
Chapel Rone is older and closer to third I mean,
(01:52):
maybe not that much. She's twenty six, twenty seven, Yeah,
but when he was making this most recent album he
was twenty two.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
He's still young.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
He's got a lot of run ahead of him and
a lot of talent already.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And the more that you work on the craft of songwriting,
the more that you do things, the better you get
at it. So I'm excited for what he does next.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I saw him take a run off of the stage
like a higher level and flip onto the lower level
like it like it was a skip. I mean that
a loade because said thank you good night. And he
does have a song out that I heard on the
radio the other day, and I was like, this is great.
So whatever the single is right now, I really liked it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I don't know what the current single is.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I really couldn't do it.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
The miss single, magical song, that's it. Okay, yeah that's
a great song.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah yeah, that's a hit song.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And really just at the end of the day, that voice,
and he plays piano too.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
He's just he's the total pack.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, sure check him out if you guys have a
chance to do that. Anything you were up to this weekend?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Did I do anything? I don't think I did anything.
Oh yes I did. I went to an event on
Thursday night. My friend put on this party with the
what's the guy's Max whatever from Dancing with the Stars Maxim, Yes,
yeah Maxim, and Kellen was dancing with him. He was
given like some dance lessons and it's wild like watching
people that have that skill. Kellen's like one of those
(03:12):
people that can like look at something and go oh
yeah I could do that and just does it. Me
it would take me nine years to figure out how
to piece two steps together. I'm a moron when it
comes to that. Meanwhile, my mom teaches dance, but I
don't have that Gene but it was cool.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It was nice.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
He was such a nice guy and he's got a
new vodka and yeah, so I did that Thursday night.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Sometimes I hate that I'm a responsible person because I
got invited to this horse show yesterday, Global Champions Arabians Tour.
They had Megan Trainer performing, but she wasn't going on
till late at night. And I'm like, I love Meghan Trainor.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But by the way, she is morphing into Paris Hilton.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Totally right, totally.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I saw her the other day and I was like,
what's Paris doing And I went, holy shit, it's Megan. Yeah,
it's great.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, no, I love her, but I want to wake
up early to go to the gym. So I went
to the gym and you know, life, I feel you.
That was fun and getting to see all these beautiful horses.
Oh my god, these horses are worth millions of dollars each.
It's insane. I saw Benson Boone here in Vegas. And
speaking of Las Vegas, Dolly Parton announced over the weekend
(04:22):
that she is going to be rescheduling her residency that
was supposed to kick off in December, and by a lot.
It was supposed to start this December, and now her
shows are being moved to September of twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Dolly says that she's got to have some medical procedures done.
But you know what, this is how you do it.
If you know you're going to be having to deal
with something, let your fans know months ahead of time,
not like the day of or a couple days before,
or even weeks before.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Well a lot of those have to do with somebody
dying or someone being very ill. You know, you that coming.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I mean not always. I mean Adele just didn't have
her shit together in time.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
She didn't like the way her staging looked. That was
her bee deal with it, you know what exactly. The
people flew to Vegas to see you deal with.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
It exactly exactly. So sending Dolly all the positive vibes.
And she's, you know, seventy nine years old.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
She really Yeah, she's a national treasure.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I agree with her.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I saw this clip of her talking about retiring or not,
and she said that she would rather wear out than
rust out, meaning if she retires, she's more likely to
rust out quickly, but if she keeps going, then she'll
just wear out whenever she wears out, and I love
that philosophy. So yeah, that's how I'm gonna be. Also,
(05:48):
I hope. I think, oh my god, I went from
one legal drama to another legal drama.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You did, yes, you put somebody off.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I pissed off the Kardashian jen I got a threatening
legal letter from Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenner's lawyer because.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
We published this article about ray J.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Ray J was on a live stream and he was
talking smack and said, oh, I'm working with the FEDS
on a RICO investigation against Chris Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
And I got a letter from her lawyer saying this
is not true. This is very serious, this is libelous.
(06:32):
We demand you take it down and issue a retraction.
And I responded back saying, no, if you want, I'm
more than happy to include a statement. This man said
this on a live stream. I'm reporting on what he said,
and I never said this is true. I never said
(06:53):
I even believed it. But I'm like, oh, look at
this clip. I included the fucking clip. I went back
and I reread what was written, and there's nothing problematic
about it. And thanks to Blake Lively, I learned one
super important thing. In order to prove defamation, it's more
than just proving that something is not true. It's also
(07:16):
proving that the person who shared it acted with malice. Malice, Yeah,
I did not act with malice whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, So to me, this is what it sounds like.
Ray J was running his mouth, yes, and trying to
be funny. Yeah, and zaid I got a Rico investigation
on them because he finds that word to be funny
and he's always going to be attached to Kim Kardashian
because of the sex tape they made. So I think
there's that and I think that's what happened. They don't
like it. But the thing is, I don't get it, like,
(07:46):
just let it go away.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
What's crazy is of all the people in the world,
Kim Kardashian going after the fucking media. Kim Karda, you
should be thanking the media for your mega mansion and
the fact that people are still talking about you. And also,
if you're going to go after anybody, go after rage A,
don't go after me and other people. And it's it
(08:08):
was I get it. It was clearly a blanket email
they sent out to everybody because some damn PARI poor
pairalegal emailed me, and it said in the bio of
the email pairalegal, and in the email itself, the letter
that was attached, it didn't even include my name or
a link to my article, it said, to whom it
(08:30):
may concern.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This just sounds like somebody's trying to get some attached
to Bay.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, it was just dumb, I said, I responded, I
literally called out the lawyer. I'm like Alex Spiro thought
this was a good idea to send to me.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Dumb, real dumb.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I don't want to sound too cocky, but thanks to
chatch Ept, I'm less afraid than before of any of
these like legal threats.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, Well, don't get yourself in the soup again.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, I don't want to.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Right, Just remember how miserable you are.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I don't want to, I said, I will add a statement.
You know, I do want to make sure that I'm
accurate and fair. But I was accurate and fair, and
if anything, it's clear the guy didn't fucking read my
article because I was supportive of Kim. I literally said
in the article, if ray J is not being truthful.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
He might have a lawsuit on his hands, right whatever. Anyways,
let's lighten things up.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, I called it.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I said we were gonna get the Super Bowl halftime
show announcement on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
You didn't tell me that.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Not to you, but I did say it recently on
one of my live shows.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Anyways, whatever doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I knew I felt it was coming because they've never
announced the super Bowl halftime show after September, and they've
historically been doing it on Sundays. So anyways, they announced
Bad Bunny, and I don't know what to believe. It's
hard for me to believe that there is some outrage
over this choice. I've only seen thus far one concern
(10:00):
commentator upset by it.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It only takes one in this world.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
They'll make you think the house is burning down and
you're like, no one cares.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
This is like Sydney Sweeney Part two.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, the rest has been overwhelmingly excited. Even the people
who aren't Bad Bunny fans understand. For the last four years,
five years, this guy has been one of the top
streaming artists worldwide every single year, touring as well. I
think it's a brilliant choice. He's beloved by Latinos. That's
(10:36):
a huge audience in the US. They're also trying to
make in roads at expanding the global reach of.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
The American country.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
They've been having games in other countries.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Steelers were in Dublin this weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
WOW for a regular game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Home game in Dublin, they played the Vikings. The Vikings.
Listen to this. The Vikings are staying in Europe. They're
going to play in London this weekend, so they have
two away games in Europe, which is wild.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
That's fun though.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I mean, if you have a family, it's a little
bit of a drag for the players. But mostly these
guys are twenty two to twenty three, but some of
them have family.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's only two weeks. Jeez, Luise, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know what this made me think of. Though, Remember
how Cardi B said recently that she was asked to
do the Super Bowl halftime show. What if she was
asked to do it with Bad Bunny and to share
the performance and she said no to that.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
That's the point I brought up. Yeah, she would be
added to somebody, and that should have been a good
tell for everyone. That they were going with a you know,
Latino artist or an urban act and not like a
Metallica or a Green Day or even an Adele or
Taylor Swift even. But yeah, you know, he's lovable. He
just is. And I think there's a lot of people
(11:49):
that haven't been exposed to Bad Bunny, and I think
he's gonna bring it.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And I love that Bad Bunny has been doing this
now since twenty sixteen. Yeah, and has never released a
song in English.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
He could, but he doesn't have a desire to do that.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So it's gonna be all these Spanish language songs, which
is different than when Shaquita and Jennifer Lopez did it.
You know, Shakda did English language songs in some Spanish language,
but mostly if I remember, it was English language. So
this will be the first time ever that somebody will
be singing just songs in Spanish at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I didn't think about that. Everybody's going to be bitching
the night of the Super Bowl. Well what the fuck?
I could say the comments already, where's my SAP button?
You know things like that. I just like his music
so much that I guess I'd forgotten that he'd never
done one song in English, which is shocking to me.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He doesn't need to he's so successful.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
He is anti ice though, and very pro trans I
think it's fucking great. I hope it pisses people off,
fucking snowflakes.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Also big news over the weekend, Selena Gomez is officially
a married woman. She said, I do in Santa bar
to Benny Blanco. It was a star studded affair, with
many celebrities in attendance, including Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, who,
according to reports, both gave speeches during the wedding reception afterwards.
(13:16):
You know what, actually, before I even tell you all
of the other celebrities that were there, I don't know.
Hopefully we get an answer to this. It was so
a choice. They got married and like within minutes she
shared photos.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Kellen brought that up, and she said, there's no rush
for people to try to find these. There's no like
trying to fish for crap or get paparazzi shots or anything.
They just put them out. It is a great move.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
A bunch of celebrities were there.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Her murders in the co Star murders in the Building
co stars Steve Martin and Martin Short were there, Paul
Rudd was there, Paris Hilton was there, Sizza Gamilla, Gavello,
Kara de Lavigne, Eric i'm Phineas, Zoe de Saldana, Edgar
Ramirez and some of her Wizards of Waverley Place family
(14:08):
as well. Congrats to them. She looks beautiful wearing custom
made Ralph Lauren. I loved actually the vibe as she
went for it was giving me seventies. It was very
seventies everything and minimal but still intricate and congratulations. I
wish them a long life of happiness. And now it's
(14:32):
time for Taylor Swift's wedding, whatever that will be. And
it's Taylor album release week and we still don't have
a single.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Damn it. I thought we were going to get one.
But what's the point now?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Actually releasing a single now could hurt if the single's
not a mega smash.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, what is your prediction? Do you think this will
be a great first single or is it going to
fall a little flat because there's another artist we have
to talk about.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't know. I feel I'm worried. I think, oh
oh wait, wait, there's the other artist, Tate. We'll get
we'll get to Tate later. We'll get to Tate later.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yeah, Okay, I remember okay, yeah, you remember something?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, yes, yes, yes, I have it in my list.
I have it in my list. I'm nervous. I feel
like she overhyped it.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
But maybe I shouldn't be nervous because if she overhyped it,
like she's got to be able to deliver on that.
But I'm still nervous because for her to overhype something,
it's like it almost sets the bar too high.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
We'll see. How is she now thirty four?
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Only thirty four?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I mean she's still so ginormous.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Oh please, She's the most ginormous.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, so we'll see, we'll see Fingers crossed, all right.
This is I don't know how I want to describe it,
but it's a fascinating topic that has gotten strong reaction
from both conservatives and liberals. The wife of Charlie Kirk
Eric Kirk, has taken over his organization Turning Point and
(15:59):
also taken over his show. And it's only been a
couple of weeks since he died and she's back to work,
and both conservatives and liberals have been criticizing her for
this and I'm here in the middle, like, fuck, y'all.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Like I may not want to do that, but maybe
this woman with young children who loved this man so
much just wants a distraction. Working keeps her mind off
of the pain. And everybody grieves differently. It's not like
she's already dating. Okay, listen, if she was dating somebody else,
I would judge that story. But she's not like linking
(16:38):
up with Don Junior or something. You know, she's just
like going back to work.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I wouldn't put too much thought into it. But it's surprising.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Yeah, it was surprising seeing the amount of criticism on
both sides.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, so do you. Isn't she like a pageant queen
or something she was? Yes, yeah, those people like attention,
so she likes attention whatever, good for you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And you know they're programmed, like the show must go on.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Weere pajack. Yeah, it's like in her DNA. I don't
see that as problematic whatsoever. This though, I don't say.
I don't know if this is problematic, but it could
be either disappointing or an opportunity depending on how Jimmy
Kimmel plays it. Kim Will returned to TV last week
after a very brief hiatus, and this week he is
(17:27):
going to be on the road. His shows are coming
at US from Brooklyn, and one of his guests has
gotten a lot of people talking. Kimmel is having Ryan
Reynolds as a guest from Brooklyn, and I wonder there
must have been a conversation had about the whole it
ends with us saga. The question will be does kim
(17:49):
Oll tell Reynolds what that question will be or does
he agree not to even ask a question about that?
And then if he doesn't ask a question about that,
that's lame as fuck.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well, yeah, yes, and no, this isn't a news show.
It's a comedy show.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But he's made it about so much news. He's talked
politics so much.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But he's there to kiss the ass of actors. You know,
it's a vehicle to promote whatever they're out there trying
to hawk. Will there be a kind of side eye joke,
kind of thing that buffers the whole thing? I think so,
because to your point, I think people would expect something
to be said because you know, he is tangled up
(18:29):
in this somehow, you know what I mean, This isn't
his thing. It's his wife's pilgrimage that she's embarked on.
So it must be hard because he definitely wants to
stay away from that. You'd think and let that thing
just die, but it's not gonna die until it's addressed
in court.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
And that's not happening at least until March of twenty
twenty six, no kidd. So wow, all right, Well, curious
to see how that plays out.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Prince Harry is speaking out on the record.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
This is surprise.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
We all know that Harry and his father recently had
a little face to face reunion. Wouldn't necessarily call it
a reconciliation, but perhaps it could be. And for some reason,
Prince Harry released a statement over the weekend, upset that
some people are classifying his meeting with his dad as
(19:24):
anything other than what it was. He doesn't like that
some source basically he's attacking the palace without attacking the palace.
He doesn't like those that are sabotaging any reconciliation efforts.
Let me read to you this statement. Recent reporting of
the Duke's view of the tone of the meeting is
categorically false. Harry has denied claims that his recent meeting
(19:49):
with his father left him feeling like an official visitor
rather than a family member.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The quotes attributed.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
To him are pure invention fed one can only assume
m by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father
and son. Presumably those same sources have also chosen to
disclose that gifts were exchanged. This is all just so
(20:18):
confusing to me, Like, what have you changed? What was
the point of releasing this statement? Why are you even
confirming that gifts were exchanged?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Like, I don't get any of it.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I think it's a damned if you do and damned
if you don't, meaning I think the crown my history
is correct. They would rather you say nothing because people
are gonna write whatever they're gonna write anyhow, and I
think that's always been the way. Then on the other
side of the coin, people are putting this out there
and making the assumption that he's feeding that narrative.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Well he's feeding it now, Well you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
That's where I come up with damned if you do
and damned if you don't. You know, He's like, look,
I'm trying here, and I want my my family to
know I'm trying, but yet I'm going against a family
by saying anything. The right reaction would be to send
an email to your family and say, hey, I'm seeing
these stories too. Just want to let you guys know
(21:14):
this isn't coming from me and let it go because
the Crown doesn't want you talking about anything to the press.
But to your point, they're Kardashians. This is what they
do now. The landscape has changed, and that's the rub.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Well.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
I do wish for the reconciliation, and I hope that
works out for them. All right, Oh god, I think
I'm doing a better job of blocking out all the
noise and not getting too upset about it. But there's
so much noise every day. And I knew this is
what was going to happen when Donald Trump got elected.
Today again, but today the very latest And if there's
(21:50):
a showbiz angle, don't worry. He's going to put a
one hundred percent tariff on movies imported into the United
States are made out of the United States, which which
is interesting because a lot of big movies are made
out of the United States, like the New Spider Man film.
They're making that in Scotland. Yeah, I'm sure Disney will
be thrilled to pay a one hundred percent tariff on
(22:12):
that wonderful.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
How does that even work? Is that going to be
in the box?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Not?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
How do it have we?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
That's a fascinating How are you gonna tear iff a movie?
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You're not. It's just another silly distraction, that's all. This is.
Even putting any more time into trying to dice up
any of this, It's just another silly distraction. Please confirm
the elected officials so they can get the Epstein files
out there. But that's not what they want you talking about.
That's what's going on, period, period, dot period.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
He's also threatening to withhold federal funding from New York
City if that Democratic candidate Zoran Mamdami Mamdani is elected. Yeah,
he will be meddling. And there's such a thing as
like endorsing somebody. But this is more than an and
this is like, this is not this is like, this
(23:03):
is like a threat.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
This is crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yes, it's authoritarianism and this story is only the tip
of the iceberg. For that, we don't have to get
into it. But yeah, it's happening in every facet of everything.
But hopefully we can have a fair election, which I
doubt they'll probably cancel that.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
All right.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Well, speaking of the Epstein files, Elon Musk is mentioned
on there, but not in like he was supposed to
meet Jeffrey Epstein but ended up not meeting him. Interesting
though that that was released but nothing else was released.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Mm hmm, all right over the weekend. Oh, this was
so sad.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Lola Young, this up and coming, moderately successful, already British singer,
was performing at a music festival in New York City
when she passed out during her set. I saw the
moment and she just like fell backwards.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Luckily she didn't crack her head open. I know, hit
it on a riser. It was scary, and she's had
some problems recently, so you hope for the best for her,
but she seems to be a little overwhelmed. It's very
Chapel Rnish to me. You know. Chapel was going through
it for a minute and lashing out, and she has
seemed to find a place where she could kind of
(24:18):
coexist with fame, and I think Lola is going to
have to get there at the beginning. I think it's
a lot of yes, yes, yes, yes, I'll do that.
I'll do that. I'll do that. I'll do that because
you're trying to make it. And then once you realize
how much work that is and how taxing it is
on you and you can't get out of it, things
like this happen. So you know, if i'm her team,
(24:39):
I pull her from everything.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We don't exactly know if it's truly similar to Chapel.
It might be health, truly health related things. With Chapel,
it was more like boundaries and mental health.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
I heard mental health with Lola, but I don't know,
and I don't want to speculate it, and I shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
She didn't feel it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It could be she could have the flu for all
we thought. But it still plays into your aarying. These
kids too thin. And it's not necessarily anybody at management's
fault either, because you know the artist once at all,
especially a hungry artist. It's a lot of yeah, yes, yes, yes,
I'll do this, that everything, and a lot of big
looks and you know, big checks which you've never seen
(25:17):
before either.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So yeah, well, I hope none of my kids want
to be musicians.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
That's a rough life, I mean, a nightmare.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
The hardest, the hardest We've said it, I've said it before,
say it again, all right? And more music related news.
Tate McCrae released a new single on Friday called Tit
for Tat and did you get.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
A chance to listen to it?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I did? Indeed.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I have two thoughts, three thoughts. Don't interrupt me.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
It's not a hit, but it's a good song. You're laughing.
I heard the laugh. It's not a hit, but it's
a good song. And I liked it.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
The first time I heard it, I was just I
just wanted it to be a smash. It's not smash,
but I like it, and I kept listening to it
over the weekend. And you have to acknowledge this. It's
just like a soothing song on the ears. It's a
kind of song that you'll hear on the radio and
not switch the station. So it's like, okay, it can
(26:16):
be like a song that'll peak at number twenty, but
I wanted her to have a number one or two
or three single. And it's like, okay, the top twenty song.
It's fine, whatever, but it's not a bad song.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
And I like it.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Okay. I couldn't make it through it. I thought it
was more of the same. I find her music to
be so average at best, and it has very few
redeeming qualities for hit music. I think it'll be higher
than twenty on the chart. Oh, she's Tate McCree.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I hope it's it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
She's gonna get every look that there is. She's doing
every festival and saying yes to everything, and that tends
to help you move your music up these fake charts.
But let's just say it's not for me. Because you
like that sound and you've been consistent about it, and
I would expect you to say you think it's good
because you think the rest of her stuff is Yeah,
I think the rest of her stuff is outter shit.
(27:03):
And this just sounds like utter shit to.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Be Oh, it's not utter shit at all.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
For hit pop music. It's utter shit for whatever she's
doing her lane, that Charlie XCX feel in the vibe
of the time, it's an a it's more of the
same of that sound. I have a different bar for
pop music and what it should be.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
There's nothing Charlie XCX about it, really.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Well, non hit ish. Charlie XCX doesn't really need hit
you know what I mean. Like it's in the pocket
of something that's a vibe, that's a sound, it's an
earworm that this generation's created. I would like to kill
that fucking worm. Okay, that worm should be shot and
put to sleep. If you ask me, make hit songs.
But this is nothing that will ever be memorable. It's
(27:48):
nothing that you're gonna turn on the radio and listen
to the music of the twenties and say, oh, I
remember this fucking smash You won't. It sucks.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Well, it's better than a lot of the other new
music that came out this past week, like Ice Spice
released a new song called Baddie Baddie, which.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I didn't expect that either. It's not good, it's really
baddy Baddy.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Khalid also released a new song that's just so boring.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
He's one gear to Me.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Rita Ora released a new song that's also so boring,
but I liked it.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I liked it.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
She's never really She's never gonna have anything great my
two favorite songs those people like music recommendations. This might
surprise you because I don't even like this band five
seconds of Summer five Sauce.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They're back, And actually you might like this.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I bet I would. I like the production and the
things they do.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
You might play it on your station.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
The song is called not Okay, and it reminds me
of Prodigy in the nineties, really like five Starter. Yeah,
I'm like, it's almost too much of a ripoff, but
I like it and it's been a long time since
that sound.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
And then my other song, this is more like pop
middle but cool. This girl named Isy Escobard. The song
is called Vendetta and it's just I don't know, I
feel like I can always tell when like a but
maybe I'm wrong. Pop but like it's got European sensibility,
but maybe she's not.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I don't even know anything about her, but it's cool.
Check it out. Is he Escobar Vendetta.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I've been working with this kid. Her name is Jasmine Starr.
She's her and her dad they were listeners back in
the day, and she's like a crazy guitarist, kind of
a prodigy. Anyhow, She's got a song that just went
on serious. It's called to be Fair, So check that out.
I like it a lot. I hope to see her happen.
It's a song that's been played on the radio a
couple of times.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
What do you mean you've been working with her, just.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Trying to help her get management and which I have,
and trying to get her songs on the radio, which
I have. So nice, it's cool to see I still
got a little juice to get to get a song
played every now and again. Nice to be fair. Check
out that song.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
More music news, there was this play in in Sync
reunion that was going to happen next year, but according
to a new report, because of Justin Timberlake's lyme disease,
that has now been put on hold indefinitely unfortunately. But
I would think wouldn't that be easier than like going
on the road ever again by yourself, like there's four
(30:18):
other people, Like it's easier.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Well, dancing's hard.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Also, Amanda Bndes has got herself a new boyfriend. She
just went public with him, and I just hope it's
somebody that's got good intentions and is not trying to
take advantage of her, you know, but everybody deserves love,
and I wish her all the happiness with her new guy.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
We don't really know much about him. Also, she's a babe.
Holy heck.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Sasha Baron Cohne is dating somebody literally half his age
after his divorce from Ala Fisher. And she just so
happens to be a OnlyFans model, but she probably she's
probably like top tier only fans model, Like she probably
may like I got let me send you one quick
(31:08):
picture of her.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I've seen her. I've seen her online.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
She's very pre you've seen her. Oh wow, Hannah Palmer, damn,
Like wow.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I want to put my hand in my Palmer first.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Hey, all right? Also, JK Rowling just a hateful She's
such a dick, hateful person.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Emma Watson recently, you know, spoke out about JK Rowling
and extended an olive branch and JK Rowling basically said
fuck off without saying it in so many words. Rowling
said on Elon Musk's platform, the go to for people
(31:50):
like that.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
The hate machine.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Yeah, a little reminder for anyone who may be regretting
their very public sprint to the front of the mob
and is now trying to discreetly shove their pitchfork out
of sight. She linked to a post that she had
written a few months ago about the British Supreme Court,
saying that a woman is only somebody who was biologically
(32:14):
born a woman and Mom, I'm like, I get it,
you feel very strong in your views, but this young
woman was saying that she loves you and like you
are not receptive, and that just tells me a lot
about you.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I say, yeah, it's just so weird that someone that
wrote those wonderful books with such an imagination is just
a horrible human, just so full of hate or I
don't know, toxic opinions, but they're her opinions. You know,
that's how you want to behave go ahead.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Also, Drew Barrymore her Listen, her talk show is still
on the air.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
That's a miracle.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know how that show has been able to
stay on for as long as it has because it
gets like zero buzz.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It just fills programmed, you know what I mean. Like
these cable channels in the day, they're just trying to
make things cheap. And one person's getting paid her.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
But her beauty brand, Flower Beauty, is going out of business.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Unfortunately, I didn't even know she had a beauty brand.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Yeah, for over a decade, so it did pretty well.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
And finally, Rob Kardashian is going to be returning in
some capacity to the Kardashian's reality show, Kim revealed in
a new interview, and a lot of fans are very
excited about that. They're always rooting for him and it'll
be nice to see him again.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Hey, this is Donna. I am calling from Buffalo, New York,
and your hope that Tit for Tat I Take for
Cray would be a hit. Former college DJ here club dj,
I just know I.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Don't like it.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Sorry, I'm just really tired of all this top music
sounding the same. It's so predictable. I was a DJ
in the late eighties early nineties and I mainly spun
house's dance music energy. I'll turn it in blah blah blah,
and you.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Don't need to know all that. But no, just a
no for me, okay.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
And love you guys, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
For what you do.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I am a Patreon subscriber a little. It's than six
months and I plan on Danna long timer. Love you,
Love you Hi.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
I mean, I get it. It's not groundbreaking, but I
like it.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Okay, Well, I like that she subscribes to our Patreon show.
That's our second show of the week. For those of

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
