Speaker 1 (00:01):
From Los Angeles, the pH Prank.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And one and only famous Perez Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Everybody, welcome to the PHP. I'm Booker, he would be Perez.
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This show is going to be great. We're gonna talk
Machine Gun, Kelly, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovado, Doja Cat, and
Blake Lively, which ties into, you know, just the timing
of it all. I went to a friend's wedding. It
was really funny because I was not prepared for any
(00:42):
of it. Maybe you have heard of Idle World before,
but I had never heard of it. Have you have
you heard of Idle World?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I thought for some reason it was by Ohai. Idlewild
ended up being in the middle of the woods on
top of a mountain, and me not knowing this ahead
of time. I left Vegas Lake, so I got to
Idlewild like at eleven PM, and then you're on the
top of the mountains. My cell phone died. I got
fucking lost. I was like freaking out, like, oh what
(01:10):
am I going? Oh my God? Thankfully my phone died
somewhat near the cabin, and miraculously I was able to
end up where I needed to be. Okay, then On Friday,
the judge in the Blake Lively case made two rulings
about me.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah. The first ruling was, I'm gonna summon up in
one sentence, anyone filing anything in this court must use
appropriate language and show appropriate respect.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
For this court, which I warned you that was going
to happen, but continue.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But I'm not dumb. I knew that was the appropriate
steps that would happen, the appropriate step right, Like, I
knew that does not go to hold me in contempt.
That just is not gonna put me in jail. He
will warn me. Okay, that's what happened. He warned me,
and I have, in the words of Ross pivoted, you know,
like I have taken the warning and responded accordingly. So
(02:09):
I was like, shit, well I've got to respond to this.
And then while I was responding to that, I was like,
oh fuck. The wi fi hear is the worst. People
don't go to Idlewild, California wanting to work, They go
to escape. The cabin owner doesn't care. They have it
the shittiest fucking WiFi. So I couldn't do anything. And like,
even on vacation, I'm working, so you know, I'm like obsessive.
(02:32):
I'm a self diagnosed OCD person. I don't know if
I have real OCD, but I definitely have obsessive thinking
and I have anxiety. While I was making a video
responding to the judge's order for telling me to like
get it together, fuck face man. Yeah, I'm no, no
me me Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I just wanted to be clear for anybody listening.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah yeah, he issued another ruling about me. On the
Patreon show, we talked about how Blake Lively was arguing
that I'm not a journalist and arguing that I subjected
myself to the court's jurisdiction when I filed my motion
for a protective order, which I didn't want to do.
(03:11):
That The only reason, as I said on the Patreon show,
the only reason I filed a request for a protective
order immediately after accepting service is because she shared her
legal team had this pattern of what I believe to
be abusive behavior on the court docket. They had the
(03:31):
ability to file redacted versions of non parties' home addresses,
and they didn't repeatedly, and just as bad, the judge
didn't tell team Lively to do that. The judge allowed this.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Look, if you're suing anybody, you have to have an
address attacked.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I said non parties, meaning filing a request for alternative
service for a publicist that works for the publicist. The
publicist is a defendant, the publicist is being sued.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Her employees aren't shill if they're going to mail anything
to somewhere. I'm sure there needs to be a ledger
of it. But let me just ask the question, why
doesn't your LLC have an address that's not your home.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I agree with what you said, but you didn't hear me.
They could have filed it redacted, meaning the judge could
have seen the address, and the judge does know that
they are home addresses because in the affidavit of service
it says so. My whole point is they are exposing
non parties to this litigation to potential harm, bullying, real
(04:32):
safety concerns. That's why I filed for a protective order. Yeah, no,
we get that because of the pattern that they've established.
So the judge responded on Friday to Lively's request that
my motion for a protective order be denied. And she's
snuck in there, in which I mentioned on the Patreon
she snuck in there an additional cross compel, meaning because
(04:56):
I filed that motion for a protective order, I am
subject myself to the jurisdiction of the Southern District of
New York, which is bullshit. I never did so, the
judge says. He said, I had informed the court that
I would not be responding because I already filed a
motion to quash in Nevada, and the judge informed me
that if I do not file a response, that I
(05:18):
am waiving my rights to a response and her motion
will be decided on in the Southern District of New York.
So I said, all right, motherfucker. I didn't put that
in there. I said, you want to play this game,
I can play your legal game. And I said three
different things in one letter. Basically, I'm like throwing everything
up against the wall to see what sticks. I said,
(05:39):
I am filing for an extension and asking this court
not to rule on her cross motion to compel my
subpoena that she issued against me until the court in
Nevada decides, because the court in Nevada is the appropriate venue.
Then I loved it, because I would, in all seriousness,
(06:01):
in an alternative universe, I really would have been a
great lawyer, and my mom always wanted me to be
a lawyer, because the best thing that anybody in the
legal profession can do is to quote the judge in
his own words or her own words. And the judge said,
in this order pertaining to me, telling me that I
have to respond, he said, if it is determined that
(06:22):
this court has jurisdiction, blah blah blah. I said, okay, motherfucker,
I need clarification from your honor, referring to him in
the respectful language that he wants, I said, it is
not fair and I cannot accordingly respond unless I get
clarity from this court if you do have jurisdiction over me,
because your order says if this court determines it has
(06:45):
jurisdiction over me. So I am asking explicitly do you
have jurisdiction over me. I'm asking for an extension of
time until you can give me that needed answer. I
think that makes a lot of sense. And then so
that was my second tactic. My third and final one
was Okay, as this court has done with other related motions,
(07:07):
I am formally asking the court to withdraw my motion
for a protective order, and that would thusly make her
cross motion to compel moot because my motion for a
protective order theoretically would not exist anymore. So I spent
literally fucking hours dealing with all of that shit on Friday.
(07:28):
And you know, like listen, I love attention, we know this,
but truly I don't want to fucking be involved in
this anymore. I will fight because I don't think it's
right what she's asking of me. I truly believe the
law is on my side. I truly believe she's asking
me for my protected and privileged information as a journalist.
I will not give up my sources. That is why
(07:49):
I am fighting. I love attention, I love drama, but
this is fucking draining and exhausting, and I don't want
to have to be dealing with it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I mean, pissing off the judge isn't going to help you,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, I told you I sat on the Patreon that
that was part of my strategy. I wanted to paint
the picture in Nevada that I apologize your honor here
in Las Vegas. I don't believe the judge, in my opinion,
in New York is biased. In fact, he scolded me
recently for using language that he deemed to be inappropriate.
(08:21):
I don't believe he can be fair. It was all strategic.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You're a nut job.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well well good. And also I keep filing all these
letters because I want to exhaust her.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Her team doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Her team might get worried.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
There's ten thousand people on her.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Her team might get worried that the judge might grant
one of these requests of mine.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The one thing you really care about is just having
your personal information right back then?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
No, No, The one thing I really care about is
just fucking being let loose from this and not being
attached to it. I don't want to be in this anymore.
So two other things that I did since we spoke.
I also asked the court for a full, unredacted version
of her deposition. It's unlikely the judge will say yes
to this.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Perez, you're not being sued. She's not alleging anything. She's
asking for information. That's it of what you printed as
a journalist. That's what she wants, and they're probably entitled
to that.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They're not entitled to it. What do you mean she's
asking for my to give up my sources.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You're saying, she's asking to give up your sources.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's what she is in the subpoena. I can send
you the subpoena if you want to fucking read it.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't think that they can do that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
They can't do it. But she's asking for it.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Don't give it to her.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm not going to give it to her.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But going back and forth with this judge is just
like ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well, I literally thought of like all the scenarios. I'm
literally prepared for worst case scenario. And worst case scenario is,
as we just mentioned, I don't give it to her,
and this judge in New York rules, and this judge
in New York holds me in contempt. I kind of
would love to be held in contempt and to be
locked up in jail over this.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I don't think you would. I think it's fun for
the first twenty minutes and then you're in JA. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I don't think the judge would actually put me in
jail over this. And I think the team that Lively
would intervene.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, that's one way to get the press on her side,
locking you up. People would love that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Anyways. I also told the judge that her lawyers submitted
pictures of my children and respectfully called the judge out
for ignoring my request that they resubmit evidence without pictures
of my children. Because one of the defendants on the
wayfarer side his daughter there was an attempted kidnapping, and
(10:36):
the person that was arrested over this brought up fucking
Blake Lively, and when I emailed the judge, he ignored
my email.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But can I ask you a question. Your kids are
online all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mention all of that. I'm the fuck I'm a
fucking good lawyer for myself. I mentioned that. Now, I
mentioned that in the letter. I said, I choose to
share my children on social media if and how and
when and and why I want? And miss Lively took
my agency away.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, no, you've made them a public figure.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
They're not public figures legally, by the way, No.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Proxy, aren't they? Or is it because they're under eighteen?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
No, there's a legal definition for what a public figure is,
and my children are not a legal public figure.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well I'm wondering if you made them that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's why I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, I would argue that you have, but you know,
I know what your kids look like, because I've seen
you post them online, making them public figures.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Here's the biggest difference in what I mentioned in my letter.
There are people that are monitoring this case that are
obsessively looking at the court docket, that have made kidnapping threats,
that have set a fire. Multiple of the non parties
people on Baldoni's PR team have received death threats. So
me sharing my kids on my platforms that I control,
(11:49):
that's one thing her legal team doing this.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I don't see the difference even one percent. Anybody in
the world can go look at your content and find
out who your kids are.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I understand you playing Devil's advocate.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm not playing to advocate. I mean you've you've literally
made your kids public figures.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay, Blake Lively took her minor children to the Hollywood
Walk of Fame star ceremony for Ryan Reynolds. That is
a public event where you understand that your children's pictures
will be taken. How would Blake Lively have felt? How
would she feel if in an upcoming filing of mine,
I include pictures of her children from that event.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I would think that she would just say, well, I've
already made my kid's public figures, anybody could know what
they look like. She would flow again, make no sense today.
I gotta be honest with you. You're too deep in
this and you can't see the forest from.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
The SHEE would fucking lose her shit if I did.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
She wouldn't lose her shit, because what's the difference. They're
already out there. Well, you think some criminals like studying
these court papers and looking for pictures and like, oh
this is where I found Perez.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know she would she she would absolutely go bonkers
if anybody did that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, I mean, you're allowed to go bonkers. I just
don't think you legally have any room to stand.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
She would go bunkers if anybody posted pictures of her
kids there, if.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
She took them to a public event like that, it's
fair game, right. I mean, I think it's bad taste
and bad form to publish kids. But if you did
it to an event, well of course you didn't. But
I'm not saying you did. I'm saying but if she
subjected her kids to that, I mean, there are people
that are going to publish them. I've seen pictures of
kids before online.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Whatever. Anyways, I don't want to be like, it's not
worth it for me, Like I will fight for my sources,
I will fight for other journalists, I will fight for
what's right. I will fight for other creator reporters that
use just social media. But I'm ready to fucking tap out, yo,
Like I just hope, Like I don't get it. I
don't get it because she hasn't had Here's what's also crazy.
(13:49):
She's subpoenat other journalists and has not had success getting
what she wants from any of them. I truly believe
she was hoping that she could just intimidate me or
bully me into giving her what she wants, and she
fucked with the wrong bitch. All right, are you ready
to move on? Can we move on?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I've been ready for twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
In other news, Gosh, how sad. We talked about this
on the Patreon Show, and then literally minutes afterwards we
got a very sad update. We discussed on Thursday Kelly
Clarkson's situation with her husband that she revealed that he
was sick, and then the day after she made that
(14:29):
public sharing of her family's private life, and we talked
about on the Patreon show. How you know this explains
why she missed so many episodes of her talk show.
You know, her husband had been sick. Then the next
day the man was announced he died. He might have
been dead already by the time she had announced what
she did, but it wasn't publicly announced by his family
(14:50):
until the next day, according to reports, though not confirmed
by the family. So I have to, you know, mention
that it could not be true, but reports claim that
he died of melanoma, which is an aggressive form of
skin cancer. And it made me sad for so many reasons,
but also because it just made me think of that
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddy Mellencamp, even younger
(15:13):
than Brandon Blackstock, Kelly's ex husband, who was just forty eight.
Teddy Mellencamp also has melanoma that has become stage four
and spread to multiple parts of her body. And I
can only imagine this is the father of her children
and at one point for many years she was in
love with this man. There may not have been any
love recently, but I still would think this is really
(15:36):
difficult for her.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, it's the father of her kids. Yeah, that's hard
to first of all, to explain to the kids. You
got to grieve for them with them. It's got to
be the most awful of situation. And it sounds like
she's been preparing for this.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Maybe they thought he'd get over this or could get
the right treatment for it.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, melanoma can be no joke. It can be life
in really gotta you know, be careful in the sun.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The family said that it was a three year cancer journey,
but for those people that were doing bad math. Kelly
Clarkson filed for divorce in twenty twenty. That was way
more than three years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Was it really that long ago? Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, she did not abandon or leave her husband while
he was just diagnosed with cancer and dealing with cancer.
They were well over by then.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well and it was an acrimonious Oh yes, it was
not fun.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
She sued him. That would probably complicate things even more
with her feelings. I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Getting over all of that and you know, having to
raise your kids together. Divorce is sloppy, especially when there's
very young kids involved, and then to have to go
through the sickness. And I do I have a lot
of sympathy for Kelly Clarkson. She's going through it cannot
be easy.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, we need a palette cleanse. Thankfully, I got back
to Vegas and I was dreading going to this event
that I had rsvp'ed too, But I went anyways, and
I took my kids and it was just what I needed.
I took my I think they might have this or
they did not that long ago in Los Angeles the
Friends experience.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yes, yes, And it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
It was so silly. And my kids have not watched
a single episode of Friends ever and they fucking loved it. Really,
Oh my god, they loved it because it's like you're
on a sound stage basically, they're like they recreated the
apartments and there's just so much to play with for
them and look at and do. And they had a blast.
And that just reminded me, you know, because I was
in the back of my head still obsessively thinking about
(17:41):
Blake Lively and even thinking about Kelly Clarkson and her husband.
I'm like, you know what, I'm not the best father,
but I'm a great father, and I prioritize my kids
and my family, and I'm making all of these memories
and hopefully they remember all of the fun times and
not so much like, oh, Dad's still working, like he
works too much, and I get it. I worked too.
I don't want to be working this hard, but I am.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah. I went to that. I mean I went to
the actual Friends set I did when I worked at
Entertainment Tonight. I don't know if they were wrapping it up,
but we did. We did like the I'm sure it's
online somewhere. It's probably googleable, but we did the Entertainment
Tonight where we used all of the you know, the
(18:23):
people on the show, and we re enacted the beginning
where we all got in the fountain fun with the
umbrellas and such.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
They had the fountain there, they had the umbrella.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We went onto the set, and the thing about the
set that I thought was so wild was how big
props are.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
How big the apartment is.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, no, the props like when you're looking like at
a coffee cup, they're enormous, Like, you know, I have
a regular coffee cup here. They're like super bowls. They're gigantic,
so they pop on TV and you don't really notice
it on TV, but when you're there, you're like, wow,
everything's really big in here, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I was pretty accurate that's the same here in the
Friends experience at the MGM in Vegas. Yeah, so, yeah,
good times. I couldn't help but think, like, god, wow,
you know this is what's so wild. Friends is like
the rare anomaly of like that one percent of TV
shows that's the most successful of the most successful. If
you were lucky enough to be a guest star on
(19:20):
even just one episode of Friends, you probably make so
much money every year just on one episode of Friends. Wild.
It doesn't pay like that anymore, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I mean, I don't know what the guest stars make,
and it's probably like I wonder what a check is
if you have a decent speaking role. I did one
episode of Hawaii five Oh where I did the voiceover
and my voice played throughout the entire show. I actually
had more blinds than even the lead act.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But I get those Hawaii five oh plays everywhere. I mean,
it plays all around the world, and it could be
on in fucking Sygone right now, who fucking knows, But
I don't. It's probably somebody else's voice dubbed over too.
But you know, I get nothing from it. I get
these random checks for like here's one for ninety two cents.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
But if that were in the nineties, you would have
gotten a lot more.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Maybe maybe, so, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, all right, we need to continue with the positive vibes.
And I felt like I was a teenager again even
though I was in my thirties. My feed was blessed
by all these videos last night of Demi Lovado joining
the Join the Jonas Brothers in their hometown show in
(20:33):
New Jersey, and it was the camp Rock reunion that
we all needed, and it was healing for our inner child,
my inner thirty year old child. Fucking whatever it was,
Zebic or whatever Demi's.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Taking Jebbie looks great beyond like, fuck.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I want to take us. I tried to be on
Future Health and they turned me down. They're like, you
don't weigh enough. God damn it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, first of all, you're supposed to a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, you don't tell if you want to get on that,
your BMI has to be, you know, ridiculous. You should
have said, yeah, I waited two fifty and I'm a
five six, or.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You have to like go to LA and go to
one of these like you know, shady doctors or whatever.
She looks like fucking amazing. Good for her, and she
sounded amazing, and it was just it was really beautiful
to see. Because you know, Demi and both Joe and
Nick have history. You probably don't remember because this is
before our time together. But Demi dated Joe. Did you
(21:31):
remember that.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I didn't know she dated both of them.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, no, no, no, I didn't say that. I didn't
say that. Oh, this is how fucked up it is.
She This is why I remember. Fucking not everything, but
I remember a lot. Demi Lovado dated Joe Jonas, and
then years after she broke up with Joe, she told
Nick she had feelings for him. That's it. She even
wrote a song about it called Ruin the Friendship.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Did they do something together?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
They toured together?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Maybe that was it. I had met both of them
together at the same time.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
They toured together. I think when it was when Nick
was solo and he opened up for Demi, if I
remember correct.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
What was the name of the place that everybody would
go to be seen on Robertson Hits right next door,
right next to the Ivy, the Ivy. Yeah, So I
went to a party at the Ivy for Nick and
I met Nick and Demi was there. I think I
must have talked to Demi for a moment, but not much,
but she was she was nice. Then I met Demi
(22:29):
with you. I think maybe the first time I met
you was with them.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
She's very nice. I like her.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah. Well I did an interview with her once and
it was off. Oh she had just know it was
for Amazon or something too. I was like, I was
surprised that she was so kind of non engaged because
it was for such a bigger platform, Amazon Music. But
that didn't go very well.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oops. Well maybe it was during her one of her
difficult periods.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, I think it was. I mean she really, I
don't you know whatever. Maybe she just wasn't Maybe I sucked,
you know what I mean, Like, I don't want to
blame it on her, you know, it was probably me.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
This was such a fun show in New Jersey too.
Not only did the Jonas Brothers bring out Demi Lovado,
they also brought out another guest, which you might not
have seen on your feed because Demi got most of
the attention. Did you see who their other guest was?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I think I did, but I've already forgotten.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Oh it's just you and your beautiful Soul Jesse McCartney. Yes,
and just launch a pretty fits. I don't remember all
the Yeah, that was a huge Yeah, It's just you
and youll beautiful because You're beautiful.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah. Yeah, good song. Yeah, good song. That was him?
Okayeah and that must have been when I interviewed him
at Philly. But he was a nice kid. I liked
him a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What a fun show for New Jersey, their hometown. They
the Jonas Brothers came through.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I also saw my Chemical Romance in New Jersey covering
bon Jovi, which I thought was pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh cool. I saw some shows in Jersey at that
PNC Bank Art Center and then the MetLife Stadia. I
haven't been in Jerseys in New York and so in
too long.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I went to the Lumineers this weekend and that was fun.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Hey Ho is that the song of Theirs? Or Hey
Ho or something like that?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Hey Ho? And Gloria and Ophelia. Oh yes, yeah. I
have quite a few big songs. I mean, what a
fan base. I mean two nights sold out at the Forum.
They sell out everything everywhere.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
At the Forum. They're that bad.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
They sell out Red Rock. They're one of the most
quietly successful bands. They sell out every night at the Forum.
They could probably do a stadium and you'd be like,
that's where did these people go from.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Before you said that, I was about to say, you
know what, they'd be like a great opening act for
a big artist. And then you say they sold out
two nights in the Arena and Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's yeah, they do everywhere. Their entire tour is sold out.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wow. Man, the power of just a couple of hits,
that's the thing. They don't even have that many hits.
They have less than five hits.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
For what their hits are, you know, alternative rock, and
it's more of they have this earthy it's almost like
the Grateful debt or something, you know what I mean.
Like they've got this fan base that's not reliant on
any hits. Their album tracks to their fan base may
as well be hits. They just have a massive fan base.
It's pretty wild, very awesome. I called the lead singer
on the air Friday. I wasn't gonna go, but we
(25:16):
were giving away some sort of grand prize. I was like,
let's call Wesley now and see what he's having for dinner.
And I didn't think he would pick up and he
picked up live on the radio and he's like, uh
so when am I going to see it tonight or tomorrow?
And I'm like, oh crap, now I have to go.
And I'm like, I guess I'll go tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Fun. Well, you know who else I think has a
large fan base Machine Gun Kelly MGK MGK.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, he's rebranded now I don't think he's Machine Gun Kelly.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Now he's just MGK. I get it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
MGK man.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He does.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
He has his own little following, and he works hard,
and he's very good to his fans. And you know,
he's had a couple really good from that last alternative
rock record, Like during the pandemic, there were like three
great songs that he put out.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
He just released his new album and another single with
a music video. The song is called Lost Americana and
it is so I had I couldn't even finish the song.
But I'm not gonna say bad. It's not bad, but
it's just so like, Okay, I'm gonna find three songs
from the early two thousands, steal from all three of
(26:18):
the songs and make it my own. And there's just
nothing different, nothing special, nothing original about it nothing exciting even.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
That's my big problem with a lot of pop music
that I hear. You know, it's just it's regurgitated exactly
what you said. I mean, there's no better way to
put it. You get a sound that somebody else did,
or some guitar sounds or a feeling that somebody else captured,
and you recapture it and I don't know, it's just
lazy pop to me.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
But MGK didn't even try to update the sound, like
it's literally the exact same sound from the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I don't know who he works with. I have no idea. Look,
I like the guy, like I said, he's always been
very nice to me, so I still root for him.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Also releasing new music, and I'm so curious to hear
the whole thing because it hasn't been released yet. Just
to like a thirty second preview, Doja Cat dropped a
new song where she worked with Jack antonof like thirty
seconds of this new song. The song is called Jealous Type,
and it's like this is pleasant. It just feels so
(27:22):
generic too, though, like Machine MGK, like, huh, I'm shocked
that Doja Cat. After her last album, she wanted to
go hard. Now she's going bland and basic.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I wish a lot of these pop girls would stay
away from Jack Anthonov. It's just been done. And don't
get me wrong, I like Bleachers and I likes the
Taylor Swift stuff. But a lot of it's just really
because who has a song out now? Is it Sabrina
Carpenter or somebody, or she's doing her album with him
or something. I don't know. I just heard the other
day one of the big pop princesses is working with him,
(27:55):
and I was like, oh boy, we might be at
the tipping point for his product. Not that it's bad,
it's just when it's done over and over and over,
we end up saying the sentence we just said a
moment ago about everything starting to sound the same.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, I'll obviously reserve judgment till the whole thing comes out,
but I think I heard enough during that in that
little preview that she released. It's long enough, and I'm like,
oh good, all right. Congratulations to Jesse Smullett. His comeback
has officially begun in the same place where his career ended.
Jesse Smullett, some of you might remember as the actor
(28:30):
that was accused of you know, faking a hate crime
against him. At the time, he was starring in this
Fox show called Empire. And now it was just announced
that Jesse Smullett it's going to be starring in this
new season of the Fox show Special Forces. It's, you know,
the reality show where you like have to do like
dumb military shit. So congrats to him.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
They're going to torture him, probably, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
But I believe everybody deserves second and third chances.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, I don't care, you know, see lied. He wasted
a lot of people's time though, Yeah, And I hate
when there's like racism tangled in your lie. That's a
bit much for a lot of people. We've got enough
problems with race in our country for someone else to
show up with a can of gas.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, all right, the gays are eating one of their own,
and I would say deservedly so, but not even just gays,
because it's not an exclusively a gay thing. Martina Nevratulova,
the tennis legend, deleted a tweet that she sent out
talking about surrogacy. She said before she deleted it, quote,
(29:37):
surrogacy is just wrong. Sometimes you can't have it all,
you know, and a lot of gay men use surrogacy
like me to have children, and a lot of women
and heterosexual relationships also use surrogacy if they're unable to
have children on their own. Yeah, it's just she's a
fucking old bitch sometimes when you get so old, like
(30:01):
it's all you do is just complain. My mother is
that way. My mother is that way, and I love
my mother, but like I literally was telling this to
a friend at the wedding that I went to. I said,
complaining makes my mom feel alive and in control, and
it's like she does it all. It's what she does.
It's her constant. So I don't even pay I don't
get fuck whatever, think whatever you fucking want, you loser,
(30:21):
I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
This is old people. They do this. They get you know,
they get old and they start to lose their marbles
and next thing you know, they're a keyboard pirate. Pick
up a tennis racket again, honey, Like, what an arbitrary
thing to bitch a mine? I know, you know what
I mean? Like, who could possibly go? Oh, I gotta
tell the world about this one.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I don't know. Also, I'm not even gonna talk about
this longer than thirty seconds because I don't care. I
mean I care. It's awful, but it's like, all right,
this guy's having to deal with his own demons. But
this story got a lot of attention, especially on social media,
because it has to do with the social media star
this creator named EMILYE. Kaiser. Her three year olds died recently.
(31:01):
The police determined that the father was negligent and they
said that, you know, charges should be filed against him.
The local prosecutor in the DA's office in Arizona where
they lived, decided not to press charges because they didn't
think they can get a conviction. But they just unsealed
the police report and it's just this little three year
(31:24):
old kid was left unattended by his dad outside by
the pool for over nine minutes and the little boy
ended up floating and drowning in the pool for seven minutes.
And it turns out the dad was placing bets on
a basketball game and was watching a basketball game.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Jeez, it's hard. Kids just they run, they do their thing,
and it's hard to keep an eye on them every sea.
I understand that, but to keep them but keep them inside, Yeah,
they get out.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I think I had three. I still would use like
well maybe not at three. I forget at what point
I stopped using like a playpen, you know, keep them
in like a little baby jail.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I mean, my mom, that's how I ended up in
a coma with the phone rang.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh you know.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I was playing at a fenced in yard and the
phone rang, and you know, my mom went to answer
the phone, and I somehow got into the damn garage
and started to you know, I got into the car
and I was pressing the buttons and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
And how old. But you were much older than three, right, three?
You were six?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Grew three years old, and I somehow pinned myself between
the car door and the concrete wall, and uh yeah,
I was in a coma for six days, you know.
And my mom went to answer the phone in a yard,
no pool, there's nothing in it. It was grass and
a fence, you know. And I still almost killed myself.
So I have a lot of compassion for the dad.
(32:48):
You just don't You don't know, kids are they're squarely
and it's hard keeping an eye on them every second,
I imagine.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Finally, let's not end on that. I uh, before we
take a call, I do I wish in the future.
We were doing our podcast and videos that I could
show people what I'm talking about. But Lara's a Pippin
and somebody we've talked about every once in a while.
The ex wife of Scottie Pippen dated Michael Jordan's son, Yeah, David,
Michael Jordan's son The Real Housewives of Miami Star. She's
(33:17):
gone viral because of her appearance. She looks noticeably different,
but she just made a video saying that she had
an allergic reaction. It's not that she got all of
this work done, but she looks like a freaking muppet.
It's crazy. Really, I don't know if it's an allergic
reaction or if she had just freshly gotten stuff done
(33:40):
and it hadn't quite settled yet. But wait, let me
just send you the thing real quick. Whoa, she looks
like jan Is from the Muppets.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
She really does less like muppet Face.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I have to just say a little prayer preemptively that
none of my kids start getting fillers and worked and like,
I hope that trend is over by the time they're adults.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Hey Bokair, Hey priz It. Sam from senecam the Very
Long Time Listener Today I just wanted to call and
kind of comment on the Sydney swinging situation. I am
pretty liberal about a liberal as it gets, and I
had to really do like a deep dive. And it
seems to me that the reason that people mostly are
upset is that it's the it's not an inclusive genes
(34:27):
like Sydney Squeeney has good genes, would imply that other
people have bad genes. So who has the bad genes?
Is it you know, people of different skin colors, is
that people with special needs? Is that people with health conditions?
You know who has bad genes? And I think I
feel like that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
My problem is that we have.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
As I woke crowd attacked this girl instead.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Of educated her.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
She will never come to our site at this point
because the Republican Party has welcomed her and comforted her.
And Sue was pair and now we look like a
bunch of believes and I just think that's sad.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I think that she was wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
We probably could have approached it with hey girl, you know,
there's something wrong with this commercial, but.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
That's not at all what we did.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I've seen where people are screaming and heckling this poor girl,
and I'm sorry for her as a woman. I am sorry.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
I don't know about we because we here. I'm pretty liberal.
I think it's a pun, and that's exactly. I don't
think it was that deep, like they literally were just
trying to be cheeky or silly. It's like you've bought
into the narrative by telling us all this. It's like
there was no narrative to begin with. This is what
they wanted. They got a couple of comments, then they
(35:39):
blew this up into something it never was, that no
one even cares about. And then you're making people comment
about things that have nothing to do with the ad.
It's just it is the problem with woke culture, if
you will. If that was indeed something people were pissed about,
I don't believe anyone cared in the first place. I
believe people read things and then they react to them
(36:01):
and go, yeah, I feel that way too, because they're dumb. Okay,
that's why people do that, and that's the only reason.
So whatever. To me, it was a fun pun, and
it's funny how to talk like this. That's funny to me.
But you know, it's a gene commercial. Levi's Jean's Beyonce
has a song about them, and I think it Levi's
ad as well, So I don't know. I'm sure they'll
(36:23):
find something wrong with that too.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
All Right, Well, we appreciate you all and hope to
see some of you on Thursday on our Patreon show.
You can sign up at patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Nice guys, have a nice week, and we'll get together
in a couple of days.
From Los Angeles, the pH Prank.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
And one and only famous Perez Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Everybody, welcome to the PHP. I'm Booker, he would be Perez.
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This show is going to be great. We're gonna talk
Machine Gun, Kelly, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovado, Doja Cat, and
Blake Lively, which ties into, you know, just the timing
of it all. I went to a friend's wedding. It
was really funny because I was not prepared for any
(00:42):
of it. Maybe you have heard of Idle World before,
but I had never heard of it. Have you have
you heard of Idle World?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I thought for some reason it was by Ohai. Idlewild
ended up being in the middle of the woods on
top of a mountain, and me not knowing this ahead
of time. I left Vegas Lake, so I got to
Idlewild like at eleven PM, and then you're on the
top of the mountains. My cell phone died. I got
fucking lost. I was like freaking out, like, oh what
(01:10):
am I going? Oh my God? Thankfully my phone died
somewhat near the cabin, and miraculously I was able to
end up where I needed to be. Okay, then On Friday,
the judge in the Blake Lively case made two rulings
about me.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh boy.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah. The first ruling was, I'm gonna summon up in
one sentence, anyone filing anything in this court must use
appropriate language and show appropriate respect.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
For this court, which I warned you that was going
to happen, but continue.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But I'm not dumb. I knew that was the appropriate
steps that would happen, the appropriate step right, Like, I
knew that does not go to hold me in contempt.
That just is not gonna put me in jail. He
will warn me. Okay, that's what happened. He warned me,
and I have, in the words of Ross pivoted, you know,
like I have taken the warning and responded accordingly. So
(02:09):
I was like, shit, well I've got to respond to this.
And then while I was responding to that, I was like,
oh fuck. The wi fi hear is the worst. People
don't go to Idlewild, California wanting to work, They go
to escape. The cabin owner doesn't care. They have it
the shittiest fucking WiFi. So I couldn't do anything. And like,
even on vacation, I'm working, so you know, I'm like obsessive.
(02:32):
I'm a self diagnosed OCD person. I don't know if
I have real OCD, but I definitely have obsessive thinking
and I have anxiety. While I was making a video
responding to the judge's order for telling me to like
get it together, fuck face man. Yeah, I'm no, no
me me Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I just wanted to be clear for anybody listening.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah yeah, he issued another ruling about me. On the
Patreon show, we talked about how Blake Lively was arguing
that I'm not a journalist and arguing that I subjected
myself to the court's jurisdiction when I filed my motion
for a protective order, which I didn't want to do.
(03:11):
That The only reason, as I said on the Patreon show,
the only reason I filed a request for a protective
order immediately after accepting service is because she shared her
legal team had this pattern of what I believe to
be abusive behavior on the court docket. They had the
(03:31):
ability to file redacted versions of non parties' home addresses,
and they didn't repeatedly, and just as bad, the judge
didn't tell team Lively to do that. The judge allowed this.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Look, if you're suing anybody, you have to have an
address attacked.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I said non parties, meaning filing a request for alternative
service for a publicist that works for the publicist. The
publicist is a defendant, the publicist is being sued.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Her employees aren't shill if they're going to mail anything
to somewhere. I'm sure there needs to be a ledger
of it. But let me just ask the question, why
doesn't your LLC have an address that's not your home.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I agree with what you said, but you didn't hear me.
They could have filed it redacted, meaning the judge could
have seen the address, and the judge does know that
they are home addresses because in the affidavit of service
it says so. My whole point is they are exposing
non parties to this litigation to potential harm, bullying, real
(04:32):
safety concerns. That's why I filed for a protective order. Yeah, no,
we get that because of the pattern that they've established.
So the judge responded on Friday to Lively's request that
my motion for a protective order be denied. And she's
snuck in there, in which I mentioned on the Patreon
she snuck in there an additional cross compel, meaning because
(04:56):
I filed that motion for a protective order, I am
subject myself to the jurisdiction of the Southern District of
New York, which is bullshit. I never did so, the
judge says. He said, I had informed the court that
I would not be responding because I already filed a
motion to quash in Nevada, and the judge informed me
that if I do not file a response, that I
(05:18):
am waiving my rights to a response and her motion
will be decided on in the Southern District of New York.
So I said, all right, motherfucker. I didn't put that
in there. I said, you want to play this game,
I can play your legal game. And I said three
different things in one letter. Basically, I'm like throwing everything
up against the wall to see what sticks. I said,
(05:39):
I am filing for an extension and asking this court
not to rule on her cross motion to compel my
subpoena that she issued against me until the court in
Nevada decides, because the court in Nevada is the appropriate venue.
Then I loved it, because I would, in all seriousness,
(06:01):
in an alternative universe, I really would have been a
great lawyer, and my mom always wanted me to be
a lawyer, because the best thing that anybody in the
legal profession can do is to quote the judge in
his own words or her own words. And the judge said,
in this order pertaining to me, telling me that I
have to respond, he said, if it is determined that
(06:22):
this court has jurisdiction, blah blah blah. I said, okay, motherfucker,
I need clarification from your honor, referring to him in
the respectful language that he wants, I said, it is
not fair and I cannot accordingly respond unless I get
clarity from this court if you do have jurisdiction over me,
because your order says if this court determines it has
(06:45):
jurisdiction over me. So I am asking explicitly do you
have jurisdiction over me. I'm asking for an extension of
time until you can give me that needed answer. I
think that makes a lot of sense. And then so
that was my second tactic. My third and final one
was Okay, as this court has done with other related motions,
(07:07):
I am formally asking the court to withdraw my motion
for a protective order, and that would thusly make her
cross motion to compel moot because my motion for a
protective order theoretically would not exist anymore. So I spent
literally fucking hours dealing with all of that shit on Friday.
(07:28):
And you know, like listen, I love attention, we know this,
but truly I don't want to fucking be involved in
this anymore. I will fight because I don't think it's
right what she's asking of me. I truly believe the
law is on my side. I truly believe she's asking
me for my protected and privileged information as a journalist.
I will not give up my sources. That is why
(07:49):
I am fighting. I love attention, I love drama, but
this is fucking draining and exhausting, and I don't want
to have to be dealing with it anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I mean, pissing off the judge isn't going to help you,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, I told you I sat on the Patreon that
that was part of my strategy. I wanted to paint
the picture in Nevada that I apologize your honor here
in Las Vegas. I don't believe the judge, in my opinion,
in New York is biased. In fact, he scolded me
recently for using language that he deemed to be inappropriate.
(08:21):
I don't believe he can be fair. It was all strategic.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You're a nut job.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well well good. And also I keep filing all these
letters because I want to exhaust her.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Her team doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Her team might get worried.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
There's ten thousand people on her.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Her team might get worried that the judge might grant
one of these requests of mine.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The one thing you really care about is just having
your personal information right back then?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
No, No, The one thing I really care about is
just fucking being let loose from this and not being
attached to it. I don't want to be in this anymore.
So two other things that I did since we spoke.
I also asked the court for a full, unredacted version
of her deposition. It's unlikely the judge will say yes
to this.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Perez, you're not being sued. She's not alleging anything. She's
asking for information. That's it of what you printed as
a journalist. That's what she wants, and they're probably entitled
to that.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
They're not entitled to it. What do you mean she's
asking for my to give up my sources.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You're saying, she's asking to give up your sources.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's what she is in the subpoena. I can send
you the subpoena if you want to fucking read it.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't think that they can do that.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
They can't do it. But she's asking for it.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Don't give it to her.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I'm not going to give it to her.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
But going back and forth with this judge is just
like ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well, I literally thought of like all the scenarios. I'm
literally prepared for worst case scenario. And worst case scenario is,
as we just mentioned, I don't give it to her,
and this judge in New York rules, and this judge
in New York holds me in contempt. I kind of
would love to be held in contempt and to be
locked up in jail over this.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I don't think you would. I think it's fun for
the first twenty minutes and then you're in JA. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I don't think the judge would actually put me in
jail over this. And I think the team that Lively
would intervene.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Well, that's one way to get the press on her side,
locking you up. People would love that.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Anyways. I also told the judge that her lawyers submitted
pictures of my children and respectfully called the judge out
for ignoring my request that they resubmit evidence without pictures
of my children. Because one of the defendants on the
wayfarer side his daughter there was an attempted kidnapping, and
(10:36):
the person that was arrested over this brought up fucking
Blake Lively, and when I emailed the judge, he ignored
my email.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But can I ask you a question. Your kids are
online all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mention all of that. I'm the fuck I'm a
fucking good lawyer for myself. I mentioned that. Now, I
mentioned that in the letter. I said, I choose to
share my children on social media if and how and
when and and why I want? And miss Lively took
my agency away.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, no, you've made them a public figure.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
They're not public figures legally, by the way, No.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Proxy, aren't they? Or is it because they're under eighteen?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
No, there's a legal definition for what a public figure is,
and my children are not a legal public figure.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Well I'm wondering if you made them that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's why I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
No, I would argue that you have, but you know,
I know what your kids look like, because I've seen
you post them online, making them public figures.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Here's the biggest difference in what I mentioned in my letter.
There are people that are monitoring this case that are
obsessively looking at the court docket, that have made kidnapping threats,
that have set a fire. Multiple of the non parties
people on Baldoni's PR team have received death threats. So
me sharing my kids on my platforms that I control,
(11:49):
that's one thing her legal team doing this.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I don't see the difference even one percent. Anybody in
the world can go look at your content and find
out who your kids are.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I understand you playing Devil's advocate.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I'm not playing to advocate. I mean you've you've literally
made your kids public figures.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Okay, Blake Lively took her minor children to the Hollywood
Walk of Fame star ceremony for Ryan Reynolds. That is
a public event where you understand that your children's pictures
will be taken. How would Blake Lively have felt? How
would she feel if in an upcoming filing of mine,
I include pictures of her children from that event.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I would think that she would just say, well, I've
already made my kid's public figures, anybody could know what
they look like. She would flow again, make no sense today.
I gotta be honest with you. You're too deep in
this and you can't see the forest from.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
The SHEE would fucking lose her shit if I did.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
She wouldn't lose her shit, because what's the difference. They're
already out there. Well, you think some criminals like studying
these court papers and looking for pictures and like, oh
this is where I found Perez.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know she would she she would absolutely go bonkers
if anybody did that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well, I mean, you're allowed to go bonkers. I just
don't think you legally have any room to stand.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
She would go bunkers if anybody posted pictures of her
kids there, if.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
She took them to a public event like that, it's
fair game, right. I mean, I think it's bad taste
and bad form to publish kids. But if you did
it to an event, well of course you didn't. But
I'm not saying you did. I'm saying but if she
subjected her kids to that, I mean, there are people
that are going to publish them. I've seen pictures of
kids before online.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Whatever. Anyways, I don't want to be like, it's not
worth it for me, Like I will fight for my sources,
I will fight for other journalists, I will fight for
what's right. I will fight for other creator reporters that
use just social media. But I'm ready to fucking tap out, yo,
Like I just hope, Like I don't get it. I
don't get it because she hasn't had Here's what's also crazy.
(13:49):
She's subpoenat other journalists and has not had success getting
what she wants from any of them. I truly believe
she was hoping that she could just intimidate me or
bully me into giving her what she wants, and she
fucked with the wrong bitch. All right, are you ready
to move on? Can we move on?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I've been ready for twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
In other news, Gosh, how sad. We talked about this
on the Patreon Show, and then literally minutes afterwards we
got a very sad update. We discussed on Thursday Kelly
Clarkson's situation with her husband that she revealed that he
was sick, and then the day after she made that
(14:29):
public sharing of her family's private life, and we talked
about on the Patreon show. How you know this explains
why she missed so many episodes of her talk show.
You know, her husband had been sick. Then the next
day the man was announced he died. He might have
been dead already by the time she had announced what
she did, but it wasn't publicly announced by his family
(14:50):
until the next day, according to reports, though not confirmed
by the family. So I have to, you know, mention
that it could not be true, but reports claim that
he died of melanoma, which is an aggressive form of
skin cancer. And it made me sad for so many reasons,
but also because it just made me think of that
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddy Mellencamp, even younger
(15:13):
than Brandon Blackstock, Kelly's ex husband, who was just forty eight.
Teddy Mellencamp also has melanoma that has become stage four
and spread to multiple parts of her body. And I
can only imagine this is the father of her children
and at one point for many years she was in
love with this man. There may not have been any
love recently, but I still would think this is really
(15:36):
difficult for her.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, it's the father of her kids. Yeah, that's hard
to first of all, to explain to the kids. You
got to grieve for them with them. It's got to
be the most awful of situation. And it sounds like
she's been preparing for this.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Maybe they thought he'd get over this or could get
the right treatment for it.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah, melanoma can be no joke. It can be life
in really gotta you know, be careful in the sun.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
The family said that it was a three year cancer journey,
but for those people that were doing bad math. Kelly
Clarkson filed for divorce in twenty twenty. That was way
more than three years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Was it really that long ago? Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, she did not abandon or leave her husband while
he was just diagnosed with cancer and dealing with cancer.
They were well over by then.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Well and it was an acrimonious Oh yes, it was
not fun.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
She sued him. That would probably complicate things even more
with her feelings. I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Getting over all of that and you know, having to
raise your kids together. Divorce is sloppy, especially when there's
very young kids involved, and then to have to go
through the sickness. And I do I have a lot
of sympathy for Kelly Clarkson. She's going through it cannot
be easy.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, we need a palette cleanse. Thankfully, I got back
to Vegas and I was dreading going to this event
that I had rsvp'ed too, But I went anyways, and
I took my kids and it was just what I needed.
I took my I think they might have this or
they did not that long ago in Los Angeles the
Friends experience.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yes, yes, And it was so fun.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
It was so silly. And my kids have not watched
a single episode of Friends ever and they fucking loved it. Really,
Oh my god, they loved it because it's like you're
on a sound stage basically, they're like they recreated the
apartments and there's just so much to play with for
them and look at and do. And they had a blast.
And that just reminded me, you know, because I was
in the back of my head still obsessively thinking about
(17:41):
Blake Lively and even thinking about Kelly Clarkson and her husband.
I'm like, you know what, I'm not the best father,
but I'm a great father, and I prioritize my kids
and my family, and I'm making all of these memories
and hopefully they remember all of the fun times and
not so much like, oh, Dad's still working, like he
works too much, and I get it. I worked too.
I don't want to be working this hard, but I am.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah. I went to that. I mean I went to
the actual Friends set I did when I worked at
Entertainment Tonight. I don't know if they were wrapping it up,
but we did. We did like the I'm sure it's
online somewhere. It's probably googleable, but we did the Entertainment
Tonight where we used all of the you know, the
(18:23):
people on the show, and we re enacted the beginning
where we all got in the fountain fun with the
umbrellas and such.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
They had the fountain there, they had the umbrella.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We went onto the set, and the thing about the
set that I thought was so wild was how big
props are.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
How big the apartment is.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, no, the props like when you're looking like at
a coffee cup, they're enormous, Like, you know, I have
a regular coffee cup here. They're like super bowls. They're gigantic,
so they pop on TV and you don't really notice
it on TV, but when you're there, you're like, wow,
everything's really big in here, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I was pretty accurate that's the same here in the
Friends experience at the MGM in Vegas. Yeah, so, yeah,
good times. I couldn't help but think, like, god, wow,
you know this is what's so wild. Friends is like
the rare anomaly of like that one percent of TV
shows that's the most successful of the most successful. If
you were lucky enough to be a guest star on
(19:20):
even just one episode of Friends, you probably make so
much money every year just on one episode of Friends. Wild.
It doesn't pay like that anymore, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I mean, I don't know what the guest stars make,
and it's probably like I wonder what a check is
if you have a decent speaking role. I did one
episode of Hawaii five Oh where I did the voiceover
and my voice played throughout the entire show. I actually
had more blinds than even the lead act.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But I get those Hawaii five oh plays everywhere. I mean,
it plays all around the world, and it could be
on in fucking Sygone right now, who fucking knows, But
I don't. It's probably somebody else's voice dubbed over too.
But you know, I get nothing from it. I get
these random checks for like here's one for ninety two cents.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
But if that were in the nineties, you would have
gotten a lot more.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Maybe maybe, so, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Yeah, all right, we need to continue with the positive vibes.
And I felt like I was a teenager again even
though I was in my thirties. My feed was blessed
by all these videos last night of Demi Lovado joining
the Join the Jonas Brothers in their hometown show in
(20:33):
New Jersey, and it was the camp Rock reunion that
we all needed, and it was healing for our inner child,
my inner thirty year old child. Fucking whatever it was,
Zebic or whatever Demi's.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Taking Jebbie looks great beyond like, fuck.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I want to take us. I tried to be on
Future Health and they turned me down. They're like, you
don't weigh enough. God damn it.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Well, first of all, you're supposed to a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, you don't tell if you want to get on that,
your BMI has to be, you know, ridiculous. You should
have said, yeah, I waited two fifty and I'm a
five six, or.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You have to like go to LA and go to
one of these like you know, shady doctors or whatever.
She looks like fucking amazing. Good for her, and she
sounded amazing, and it was just it was really beautiful
to see. Because you know, Demi and both Joe and
Nick have history. You probably don't remember because this is
before our time together. But Demi dated Joe. Did you
(21:31):
remember that.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
I didn't know she dated both of them.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, no, no, no, I didn't say that. I didn't
say that. Oh, this is how fucked up it is.
She This is why I remember. Fucking not everything, but
I remember a lot. Demi Lovado dated Joe Jonas, and
then years after she broke up with Joe, she told
Nick she had feelings for him. That's it. She even
wrote a song about it called Ruin the Friendship.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Did they do something together?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
They toured together?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Maybe that was it. I had met both of them
together at the same time.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
They toured together. I think when it was when Nick
was solo and he opened up for Demi, if I
remember correct.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
What was the name of the place that everybody would
go to be seen on Robertson Hits right next door,
right next to the Ivy, the Ivy. Yeah, So I
went to a party at the Ivy for Nick and
I met Nick and Demi was there. I think I
must have talked to Demi for a moment, but not much,
but she was she was nice. Then I met Demi
(22:29):
with you. I think maybe the first time I met
you was with them.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
She's very nice. I like her.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah. Well I did an interview with her once and
it was off. Oh she had just know it was
for Amazon or something too. I was like, I was
surprised that she was so kind of non engaged because
it was for such a bigger platform, Amazon Music. But
that didn't go very well.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oops. Well maybe it was during her one of her
difficult periods.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, I think it was. I mean she really, I
don't you know whatever. Maybe she just wasn't Maybe I sucked,
you know what I mean, Like, I don't want to
blame it on her, you know, it was probably me.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
This was such a fun show in New Jersey too.
Not only did the Jonas Brothers bring out Demi Lovado,
they also brought out another guest, which you might not
have seen on your feed because Demi got most of
the attention. Did you see who their other guest was?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I think I did, but I've already forgotten.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Oh it's just you and your beautiful Soul Jesse McCartney. Yes,
and just launch a pretty fits. I don't remember all
the Yeah, that was a huge Yeah, It's just you
and youll beautiful because You're beautiful.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah. Yeah, good song. Yeah, good song. That was him?
Okayeah and that must have been when I interviewed him
at Philly. But he was a nice kid. I liked
him a lot.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
What a fun show for New Jersey, their hometown. They
the Jonas Brothers came through.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I also saw my Chemical Romance in New Jersey covering
bon Jovi, which I thought was pretty fun.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh cool. I saw some shows in Jersey at that
PNC Bank Art Center and then the MetLife Stadia. I
haven't been in Jerseys in New York and so in
too long.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I went to the Lumineers this weekend and that was fun.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Hey Ho is that the song of Theirs? Or Hey
Ho or something like that?
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Hey Ho? And Gloria and Ophelia. Oh yes, yeah. I
have quite a few big songs. I mean, what a
fan base. I mean two nights sold out at the Forum.
They sell out everything everywhere.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
At the Forum. They're that bad.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
They sell out Red Rock. They're one of the most
quietly successful bands. They sell out every night at the Forum.
They could probably do a stadium and you'd be like,
that's where did these people go from.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Before you said that, I was about to say, you
know what, they'd be like a great opening act for
a big artist. And then you say they sold out
two nights in the Arena and Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That's yeah, they do everywhere. Their entire tour is sold out.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Wow. Man, the power of just a couple of hits,
that's the thing. They don't even have that many hits.
They have less than five hits.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
For what their hits are, you know, alternative rock, and
it's more of they have this earthy it's almost like
the Grateful debt or something, you know what I mean.
Like they've got this fan base that's not reliant on
any hits. Their album tracks to their fan base may
as well be hits. They just have a massive fan base.
It's pretty wild, very awesome. I called the lead singer
on the air Friday. I wasn't gonna go, but we
(25:16):
were giving away some sort of grand prize. I was like,
let's call Wesley now and see what he's having for dinner.
And I didn't think he would pick up and he
picked up live on the radio and he's like, uh
so when am I going to see it tonight or tomorrow?
And I'm like, oh crap, now I have to go.
And I'm like, I guess I'll go tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Fun. Well, you know who else I think has a
large fan base Machine Gun Kelly MGK MGK.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, he's rebranded now I don't think he's Machine Gun Kelly.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Now he's just MGK. I get it.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
MGK man.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He does.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
He has his own little following, and he works hard,
and he's very good to his fans. And you know,
he's had a couple really good from that last alternative
rock record, Like during the pandemic, there were like three
great songs that he put out.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
He just released his new album and another single with
a music video. The song is called Lost Americana and
it is so I had I couldn't even finish the song.
But I'm not gonna say bad. It's not bad, but
it's just so like, Okay, I'm gonna find three songs
from the early two thousands, steal from all three of
(26:18):
the songs and make it my own. And there's just
nothing different, nothing special, nothing original about it nothing exciting even.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
That's my big problem with a lot of pop music
that I hear. You know, it's just it's regurgitated exactly
what you said. I mean, there's no better way to
put it. You get a sound that somebody else did,
or some guitar sounds or a feeling that somebody else captured,
and you recapture it and I don't know, it's just
lazy pop to me.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
But MGK didn't even try to update the sound, like
it's literally the exact same sound from the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I don't know who he works with. I have no idea. Look,
I like the guy, like I said, he's always been
very nice to me, so I still root for him.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Also releasing new music, and I'm so curious to hear
the whole thing because it hasn't been released yet. Just
to like a thirty second preview, Doja Cat dropped a
new song where she worked with Jack antonof like thirty
seconds of this new song. The song is called Jealous Type,
and it's like this is pleasant. It just feels so
(27:22):
generic too, though, like Machine MGK, like, huh, I'm shocked
that Doja Cat. After her last album, she wanted to
go hard. Now she's going bland and basic.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
I wish a lot of these pop girls would stay
away from Jack Anthonov. It's just been done. And don't
get me wrong, I like Bleachers and I likes the
Taylor Swift stuff. But a lot of it's just really
because who has a song out now? Is it Sabrina
Carpenter or somebody, or she's doing her album with him
or something. I don't know. I just heard the other
day one of the big pop princesses is working with him,
(27:55):
and I was like, oh boy, we might be at
the tipping point for his product. Not that it's bad,
it's just when it's done over and over and over,
we end up saying the sentence we just said a
moment ago about everything starting to sound the same.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Well, I'll obviously reserve judgment till the whole thing comes out,
but I think I heard enough during that in that
little preview that she released. It's long enough, and I'm like,
oh good, all right. Congratulations to Jesse Smullett. His comeback
has officially begun in the same place where his career ended.
Jesse Smullett, some of you might remember as the actor
(28:30):
that was accused of you know, faking a hate crime
against him. At the time, he was starring in this
Fox show called Empire. And now it was just announced
that Jesse Smullett it's going to be starring in this
new season of the Fox show Special Forces. It's, you know,
the reality show where you like have to do like
dumb military shit. So congrats to him.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
They're going to torture him, probably, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
But I believe everybody deserves second and third chances.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, I don't care, you know, see lied. He wasted
a lot of people's time though, Yeah, And I hate
when there's like racism tangled in your lie. That's a
bit much for a lot of people. We've got enough
problems with race in our country for someone else to
show up with a can of gas.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah, all right, the gays are eating one of their own,
and I would say deservedly so, but not even just gays,
because it's not an exclusively a gay thing. Martina Nevratulova,
the tennis legend, deleted a tweet that she sent out
talking about surrogacy. She said before she deleted it, quote,
(29:37):
surrogacy is just wrong. Sometimes you can't have it all,
you know, and a lot of gay men use surrogacy
like me to have children, and a lot of women
and heterosexual relationships also use surrogacy if they're unable to
have children on their own. Yeah, it's just she's a
fucking old bitch sometimes when you get so old, like
(30:01):
it's all you do is just complain. My mother is
that way. My mother is that way, and I love
my mother, but like I literally was telling this to
a friend at the wedding that I went to. I said,
complaining makes my mom feel alive and in control, and
it's like she does it all. It's what she does.
It's her constant. So I don't even pay I don't
get fuck whatever, think whatever you fucking want, you loser,
(30:21):
I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
This is old people. They do this. They get you know,
they get old and they start to lose their marbles
and next thing you know, they're a keyboard pirate. Pick
up a tennis racket again, honey, Like, what an arbitrary
thing to bitch a mine? I know, you know what
I mean? Like, who could possibly go? Oh, I gotta
tell the world about this one.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I don't know. Also, I'm not even gonna talk about
this longer than thirty seconds because I don't care. I
mean I care. It's awful, but it's like, all right,
this guy's having to deal with his own demons. But
this story got a lot of attention, especially on social media,
because it has to do with the social media star
this creator named EMILYE. Kaiser. Her three year olds died recently.
(31:01):
The police determined that the father was negligent and they
said that, you know, charges should be filed against him.
The local prosecutor in the DA's office in Arizona where
they lived, decided not to press charges because they didn't
think they can get a conviction. But they just unsealed
the police report and it's just this little three year
(31:24):
old kid was left unattended by his dad outside by
the pool for over nine minutes and the little boy
ended up floating and drowning in the pool for seven minutes.
And it turns out the dad was placing bets on
a basketball game and was watching a basketball game.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Jeez, it's hard. Kids just they run, they do their thing,
and it's hard to keep an eye on them every sea.
I understand that, but to keep them but keep them inside, Yeah,
they get out.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I think I had three. I still would use like
well maybe not at three. I forget at what point
I stopped using like a playpen, you know, keep them
in like a little baby jail.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I mean, my mom, that's how I ended up in
a coma with the phone rang.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh you know.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I was playing at a fenced in yard and the
phone rang, and you know, my mom went to answer
the phone, and I somehow got into the damn garage
and started to you know, I got into the car
and I was pressing the buttons and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
And how old. But you were much older than three, right, three?
You were six?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Grew three years old, and I somehow pinned myself between
the car door and the concrete wall, and uh yeah,
I was in a coma for six days, you know.
And my mom went to answer the phone in a yard,
no pool, there's nothing in it. It was grass and
a fence, you know. And I still almost killed myself.
So I have a lot of compassion for the dad.
(32:48):
You just don't You don't know, kids are they're squarely
and it's hard keeping an eye on them every second,
I imagine.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Finally, let's not end on that. I uh, before we
take a call, I do I wish in the future.
We were doing our podcast and videos that I could
show people what I'm talking about. But Lara's a Pippin
and somebody we've talked about every once in a while.
The ex wife of Scottie Pippen dated Michael Jordan's son, Yeah, David,
Michael Jordan's son The Real Housewives of Miami Star. She's
(33:17):
gone viral because of her appearance. She looks noticeably different,
but she just made a video saying that she had
an allergic reaction. It's not that she got all of
this work done, but she looks like a freaking muppet.
It's crazy. Really, I don't know if it's an allergic
reaction or if she had just freshly gotten stuff done
(33:40):
and it hadn't quite settled yet. But wait, let me
just send you the thing real quick. Whoa, she looks
like jan Is from the Muppets.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
She really does less like muppet Face.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I have to just say a little prayer preemptively that
none of my kids start getting fillers and worked and like,
I hope that trend is over by the time they're adults.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Hey Bokair, Hey priz It. Sam from senecam the Very
Long Time Listener Today I just wanted to call and
kind of comment on the Sydney swinging situation. I am
pretty liberal about a liberal as it gets, and I
had to really do like a deep dive. And it
seems to me that the reason that people mostly are
upset is that it's the it's not an inclusive genes
(34:27):
like Sydney Squeeney has good genes, would imply that other
people have bad genes. So who has the bad genes?
Is it you know, people of different skin colors, is
that people with special needs? Is that people with health conditions?
You know who has bad genes? And I think I
feel like that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
My problem is that we have.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
As I woke crowd attacked this girl instead.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Of educated her.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
She will never come to our site at this point
because the Republican Party has welcomed her and comforted her.
And Sue was pair and now we look like a
bunch of believes and I just think that's sad.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I think that she was wrong.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
We probably could have approached it with hey girl, you know,
there's something wrong with this commercial, but.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
That's not at all what we did.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
I've seen where people are screaming and heckling this poor girl,
and I'm sorry for her as a woman. I am sorry.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
I don't know about we because we here. I'm pretty liberal.
I think it's a pun, and that's exactly. I don't
think it was that deep, like they literally were just
trying to be cheeky or silly. It's like you've bought
into the narrative by telling us all this. It's like
there was no narrative to begin with. This is what
they wanted. They got a couple of comments, then they
(35:39):
blew this up into something it never was, that no
one even cares about. And then you're making people comment
about things that have nothing to do with the ad.
It's just it is the problem with woke culture, if
you will. If that was indeed something people were pissed about,
I don't believe anyone cared in the first place. I
believe people read things and then they react to them
(36:01):
and go, yeah, I feel that way too, because they're dumb. Okay,
that's why people do that, and that's the only reason.
So whatever. To me, it was a fun pun, and
it's funny how to talk like this. That's funny to me.
But you know, it's a gene commercial. Levi's Jean's Beyonce
has a song about them, and I think it Levi's
ad as well, So I don't know. I'm sure they'll
(36:23):
find something wrong with that too.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
All Right, Well, we appreciate you all and hope to
see some of you on Thursday on our Patreon show.
You can sign up at patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Nice guys, have a nice week, and we'll get together
in a couple of days.
