Speaker 1 (00:01):
From Los Angeles and.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
One and only world famous Perez Perez Hilton.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Everybody, welcome to the php A booker. There's Perez right there.
What's going on, buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I know a lot of you want it, and a
lot of you also were feeling left out because some
of you, I understand, are not supporters of the Patreon.
Not everybody can afford for ninety nine a month. That's okay.
We did speak about Gypsy Rose Blanchard a lot on
our Patreon last week, and we will be sharing some
(00:44):
more Gypsy Rose Blanchard today for all. We're also gonna
talk Taylor Swift, that lack a doodle in the Talia
Grace story, Are you on a Grande? And more? But first,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I don't think I have anything at all to report.
We're recording today on a Sunday for the Patreon people.
You're gonna get this today on Sunday. Everybody else will
be getting this tomorrow. This part that I just said
won't be a part of the show, but I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
To let the Patreon people know. All is good man.
How about you?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Did you ever have that feeling that you think you
should feel worse? Than you do, but you don't how
so meaning if this would have been three weeks ago,
I would have been in such a state of despair.
But I've really made the gym a priority for me
this week. I've gone every single day to the gym.
(01:36):
And I'm just so overwhelmed and just behind on every
aspect of my life professionally and personally, and like, you know,
you know me how extreme I am and how cheap
I am. So I am trying to get window treatments
from my house, and before really understanding what that process was, like,
(01:58):
I did what I thought was the smart and sensible
rational thing to do. I set up eight consultations Jesus Christ,
and they come to your house, right, And I just assumed, Oh,
it's gona be like thirty minutes each. Fuck no, at
least two hours. Some are longer than two hours each.
And I've been I barely, I've been like unable to
(02:21):
get any work done because I've scheduled like four of these.
I thankfully spaced them out because I didn't want to
do them all back to back, but they're so fucking long, right,
And it sucks because I also feel like with meeting
enough people eventually you'll find the right fit. Some folks,
even if you tell them what you want, they just
want to upsell you.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You're in a fancy pants neighborhood, and they think you're
going to pay a fancy pants price.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I said, no, I said, listen, my number one priority
is to find something that is nice. It doesn't need
to be fancy or look fancy, but it doesn't need to.
I don't want it to look cheap, and I don't
want it to be expensive either.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Said I ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Why don't you just go to blinds dot com and
order blinds and measure them. That's what I did for
every inch of my house. I have nothing but high
quality blinds. I have the rollers, I have the wood
ones in the front.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They look great.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And I guarantee you most of these people that come over,
they're gonna do the measurements, and they're gonna go to
blinds dot Com and they're gonna buy the blinds and
then send you their upcharge bill for putting them in.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Did you install them yourself?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, it's fucking easy. I mean, oh, but I can't.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
If you want me to fly over and do it,
I will it'll take me a day to install all
your fucking windows. But it's not hard to do it,
really isn't. I mean, you need a handyman. You gotta
find you need one.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yes, that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You got to find a handyman and say, hey, I
want blinds. Go measure this. You know a lot of
those companies, that's what they do.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's a shakedown.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Anyways, I still manage to take my kids out. Yesterday,
they grudgingly, even though I didn't want to, I took
them to go see Disney on Ice. We had a
wonderful time. Now let's get to the show, all right.
I am officially proclaiming that Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a
gay icon. Really, I don't know why, but so many
(04:11):
of my gays are obsessed with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, and
a lot of our female listeners too, although maybe they're
perhaps more divided. But and I think I'm in the minority,
but the gays are all about Gypsy Rose. Like they
keep texting me and sending me did you see what
she said here? Did you read that?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
But like Geez Louise, she's been doing the rounds because
her Lifetime show is about to drop, and she did
the view she did Good Morning America, And I have
thoughts if it's not apparent to the average viewer or observer,
she is absolutely a getting help with her social media
(04:49):
and b she has a thousand percent been coached with
what to say. She's gone through media training in the
last week or two. And it's not like that intens
it's just more of like, let's do a pretend interview.
These are the kinds of questions you're gonna get asked
so that she knows what to say. Because the answers
(05:09):
that she gave were sound bites. And that's fine because
she hit all the notes. She expressed regret for what
happened to her mother, She took accountability. It was as
if a media professional, like I said, told her what
to say, and she did it. So kudos to her team,
(05:30):
and you know, kudos to her because she's clearly hungry
for all of this. You know, she could have done
a little bit of media, but not a lot. Like
not only did she do all these TV shows, she's
been doing podcasts now as well, like and not even
like the biggest podcast ever, like fucking smaller podcast too.
Like that Nick Vile from the Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Really, what the fuck is he asking her?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Do you watch the Bachelor? I mean, what's that about?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Maybe she did in prison, I mean she listened to
Taylor Swift behind bars, and it's like, I don't think
this will be sustainable, Like it's just right now and
everything going on. But like literally today one of my
gays texting me an article like, ooh, Gypsy Rose Blancher
says that she wants Millie Bobby Brown to play her
(06:18):
in a biopic.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh oh my god, I hate this person already.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I don't hate her. I do have a lot of
empathy and compassion and understanding for her because she went
through so much trauma. But like I said on the Patreon,
it still feels weird to me that we are celebrating
and some people idolizing, right, or maybe there's also an
element of mocking, Like I just don't know how much
people are truly supporting her with this behavior going on
(06:46):
right now. But you know, she's getting the good d
and she's enjoying herself, so good for you. We're starting
off strong today with a whole trio of truth crime,
real life stories. Moving on from gypsy Rose Blanchard to
Casey Anthony, why is that woman in the headlines again? Well,
(07:09):
because her parents had this A and E special And
there's this one moment in particular where the father took
a polygraph test, Casey Anthony's dad who has long been
rumored to possibly have been involved in the death of
his granddaughter. And I'm not one of these people. A
(07:29):
lot of people are making a big deal about this
polygraph test moment, but hello, polygraph tests are not admissible
in court.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well they're not one hundred percent accurate either. People learn
how to dodge them. There's holes in that as well.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
So a lot of people were making much to do
about this, and to me, it's a much to do
about nothing. I'm more interested though, in this Natalia Grace story.
Did you hear about that?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I'm not sure which one this is. Refresh my memory.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
This has been an ongoing story for many years. This
had a TV special on ID. I believe Natalia Grace
is that Ukrainian immigrant that was adopted by this family
and then abandoned. She has Dwarfism and they thought that
she was lying about her age, that she was in
(08:19):
her twenties and not like a young kid. Yeah, yeah,
I know this so that story, so you know, it's
just the series was, you know, rehashing everything that happened,
and there were some developments there, like the father who
had originally adopted her throwing his wife under the bus
and saying that it was all the wife's fault and
(08:41):
blah blah blah blah. But the real bombshell moment, the
really explosive thing that was interesting and even juicy to
me is for the last ten years, this Natalia Grace
woman who allegedly, according to a blood test performed on
this show New Scientific Death shows that she was young
(09:03):
back when she was originally adopted, and now she's believed
to be around twenty or twenty two years old. The
family that took her in after that other family threw
her away, left her abandoned, and they went to Canada.
This family that adopted her legally, they now claim she's
an evil witch. They've turned they've turned their back on her.
(09:27):
What a twist. Wow. Yeah. They called in to the
producers and they said, something ain't right with Natalia. This
girl is tweaking. I feel like she's the enemy in
the house. And she said to us we had held
her hostage, made us look like we're the enemy. Natalia
(09:48):
is stabbing her family in the back over a complete lie.
She's done other things too, but this was a new low.
Natalia does not have emotions for nothing but herself. We're done,
We're done with her.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I don't understand this whole family, Like they're as dramatic
as she is, Like how do these people find each other?
And are they all full of shit? Is this a
television show? And they just realized, let's put some drama
into this. Is someone lying?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Is she nuts?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What a plot line?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Now, of course there's gonna be a second season of
this show. Congrats to them all make that money. I'm
like Natalia Grace and you know fucking Gypsy Rose Blanchard,
like I need to do some crazy shit, like I
need like what do I fucking need to do? Like
give me ideas, y'all. I'm open.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
We started off today with different types of topics. As always,
our Patreon supporters give us suggestions, and all three of
these came from Patreon, so we really appreciate our supporters.
Some baby news, you know, she is in Los Angeles
this weekend. Had a girl's night out with some of
the Kansas cheaty shit shit exactly had a girl's night
(11:02):
out with I've said this so many times. This ch
for some reason, trips Cubans up. It trips me up.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh it does.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, it's a Cuban thing like chair chair chair chair,
no chair.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
We just have trouble with ch and English. Anyways, she
was hanging out with the wags in Los Angeles and
having a good time, much deserved, much needed, because she
was dragged by The New York Times, of all people,
really publications. Yes, the New York Times ran an article
(11:37):
and opinion. This was shocking to me. Okay, because the
New York Times is the paper of record. It is
supposedly and supposed to be the most regarded and respected,
reputable publication in the United States, if not the world,
and they ran an opinion piece in their opinion section
speculating that Taylor Swift is a closeted queer person.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Really she's gay.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I know that did not come across your desk.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I have the New York Times, but I typically don't
read the opinion section because it is usually stuff that's
kind of out there. So I'm never really like into it.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Well, it upset Taylor and her team so much that
her publicist, allegedly somebody off the record spoke to the
New York Times and put them on blast, as they should,
So shame on you, New York Times. Not cool.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, you know, having an opinion is fine. I don't
think having an opinion is a terrible thing. But it's
just a weird thing to report put in the newspaper.
But that's what I'd said. I don't Typically I see
those articles and I'll get like a paragraph in I'm like,
this is a fucking loon looking for hits, and then
I just move on.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So this sounds like another loon looking for hits.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
And I think the associate of Taylor Swift might have
mentioned this that New York Times would have never ran
that article and speculated something like that about Shawn Mendes.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Okay, yeah, well we don't care about Shawn Mendes. No
one would read it. That's why it's all about clicks.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Right, or Justin Bieber or whomever who they have the
biggest music.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But I don't think.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Justin Bieber's ever like been with a dude. He doesn't
put off the vibe. Now does Taylor Taylor Swift. Let
me ask you a question, do you think Taylor Swift
has ever had a night now wrestling nights with another
woman or a lesbian evening?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Zero? Yeah? I disagree with you.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I bet she has no no other like Katy Perry obviously,
Lady Gaga for definitely, but not.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I don't believe you're saying Taylor's that square, that she
wouldn't have a night where she uh, you know, screwed
around with one of these hot models that she's hanging
out with. I mean, she didn't hang out with ugly
girls back in the day. She hung out with like
the hottest girls.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Ever, I don't think she did. I don't. I don't
pretty I had pretty good gaytar Okay, so what ebbs?
In more music related news, Oftentimes I find these rumors credible.
You know, they're they're seated and planted. Multiple reports are
(14:11):
talking about rumored Coachella twenty twenty four headliners. Right, you
saw that I did, and every single artist is laying
as fuck.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
But the festival has changed to you know, this really
cred cool kind of indie rock festival to a pop
everybody goes to No one gives a shit about the
lineup anymore. It's all about going to the desert and
getting fucked up and the scene and going to parties.
The music is ancillary, and it's unfortunate because it was
(14:45):
a really cool festival back in the day.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But it's all about what.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Are you wearing to Coachella and the food and every
fucking thing else about the music. So I don't even
care who plays anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
It's over. It's done.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So the big three headliners, according to It's Daily Double,
which I considered to be a reputable music industry publication,
they say they are Lana del Rey, Titler of the Creator,
and Doja Cat and all three of them have also
performed at Coachella in the last few years, so there's
nothing special.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I mean, any band that's headlined usually has worked their
way up from a smaller stage.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's not abnormal.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Well, I have the best headliner. I get like I
would fucking I've never been to Coachella, but if they
did this act, my ass would be there. And actually
I think it might break records. It's a pretty out
there choice, but I think it's brilliant and inspired and
I guarantee you if you disagree with me, nine out
of ten of our callers will agree with me eight
(15:44):
hundred and seventy two one one eight five. My dream
pick for Coachella twenty twenty four headliner is the Spice Girls.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, that would be awesome. The Spice Girls.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, I had read and I don't know if it's
the same article that you read. Shakira wanted to do
it and they turned her down. What Yeah, so, I'm
I don't know if they like want to be the
oldie Zach kind of thing, but every year they do
have a Guns n' Roses or an ac DC or
you know, maybe a more heritage rock band, a heritage.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Pop group like the Spice Girls. I wholeheartedly agree with you.
But they could do that anywhere for anything, and it
would be huge because people would.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Go, especially because the Spice Girls haven't toured in the
or done a single show in the United States since
two thousand and eight. Oh really, yeah, that would be massive.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It would be massive.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, they did do a UK stadium summer tour in
twenty nineteen. I think it's time for a Vegas residency
than girls. In more music related news, paramour has many
of their fans concerned because they have deleted or they're
not deleted, but their website is offline and they have
(16:58):
taken down their social media accounts and folks are unsure
what's happening. Well, I have an update for you all.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
They were supposed to be on our show next weekend.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I was going to get to that as well. Yeah,
so they are done with their record label, right, They're
now a free agent and the record label and they've
been with that label Atlantic for twenty years. It's pretty
unusual actually for an artist to be with one label
for that long. I mean, it happens, but it's not
the typical and they are in an in between phase.
(17:33):
And as Booker mentioned, next week, they were supposed to
perform at this ALT ninety eight to seven show in
Los Angeles. It's called I Have a Question. They pulled
out of that, and a lot of people were worried
because they took down their social media and pulled out
(17:53):
of this show. Does typically the record label or the
radio station and cover the costs associated with an act
performing at a show like that.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I think it's sometimes split. I don't think you know
radio typically and I don't want to say that. I know,
you know, I work for a radio company, but I
think a lot of that has to do with splitting
of a lot of that production cost because there's relationships
and management and.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Vials, So that makes sense. My thought was they pulled
out because they probably just don't want to incur any
personal costs themselves that might be associated with performing at.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
That there's something else going on, And the first sign
was well to be really real. And I don't know this,
but I worried about this, and I wondered about this.
You know, Paramore is going out with Taylor Swift. Taylor
Swift Matty Heally, Matty Heally the nineteen seventy five is
the headliner of the show with Paramore.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
So that was my first like, uh, oh.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait you're confused. Wait Maddy he in nineteen seventy five
are not going on tour with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Paramore is those two broke up, and I think that
Haley is very team Taylor. They're both on the ninety
eight to seven all three Ego lineup together as headliners.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Oh I guess I missed that, Okay, I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I don't think that had anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But that was my first months and months ago thought was,
oh God, I hope Team Taylor doesn't like step In
and you know, the fans killed them for playing with him,
and you know how online is, you know how it worse.
So but then when they wipe their social media before
the holiday break, I was like, uh, oh, this is
(19:38):
never a good sign.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
And we knew we had the show coming up, and.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
They just made the announcement that they canceled the show
in all transparency, not a clue, not a reason why.
I think they're citing it as mental health reasons, and
I think that's.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The end of it.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
No one's asking any questions after that, so I don't
know if there's anything else. I don't know if the
label deal has anything to do with it. I don't
know if Maddie has anything to do with it. I
think there's a couple in the band that may have
something to do with it. Maybe the end of that
relationship happened a lot of factors.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It's a new year and people tend to make changes
at the beginning.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Of the year, so we'll see well, there's still as
of right now attached to the Taylor Swift European leg right,
and even before that, they've got some solo shows as
Paramore the band.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
They have some things booked, so I don't think they're
breaking up.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
No, it's you know what, It's all good if you
need to take a mental health moment. Many artists have
done that.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It is wild that it's a new thing, though it's
something that never used to happen.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Even if you go back a decade.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Ten years, no one would ever cancel a show, and
if they did, the artist would go online crying and
oh my god, I had to cancel. Now it's becoming like, eh,
somebody canceled. The fans still get pissed online, you know,
but they're always pissed about something. But it's a different day.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I mean, I don't want to generalize and say it's
a younger generation thing, but it's just some people. I'm
training my kids like fuckers, Like you're gonna work hard.
I don't give a shit you think some days I
just don't want to do I just want to take
a mental health day and do nothing. Well, I don't
have that luxury, you know, you just got to keep
trugging along.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Well, we're gen X, and you know that's the marching
orders of anybody from Gen X. And it's a different generation.
You're right on the cusp of the new generation. So
it's it's just a different way of seeing things. And
I'm not gonna throw shade at them, but I agree
with you. I think it's cool to train your kids
that it's tough out there and sometimes you gotta grit
through it. You got to bite your lip and grit
(21:43):
through days.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
You have to trick them into being excited for hard work.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Really like, oh.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I did it? Like I don't want I don't want
them to hear me.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
He's looking around like they're going to run it. I
don't have bush it.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
It's Sunday. We were in the carrying to Disney on
Ice and I said, you know, next year, when you're twelve,
I'm gonna let you go to the gym with me,
and you can go to the gym with me every morning.
And you want to go to the gym with me?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Right?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
He said yes. I'm like, fuck yes, I would have.
I was the lazy, fat fuck that would have hated
that and would have just not gone. I would have
not done it realize and then and then after my
son said yes, then my middle child said I want
to go too, and I'm like, well, great, when you're twelve,
you can go as well.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
They can work out at the house every day.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
When I was a kid, when I was probably eleven twelve,
I did push ups and setups every day after school.
And I'm not shitting you when I tell you I
could do like five six hundred setups, no problem.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I could do one hundred push ups in my sleep. Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I did it every day after school. And I think
there's something to that. I think there's something to happen.
A regiment and yeah, you know, training people that hard
work pays off. And it's the same thing of every
morning when I wake up, no matter what, I will
not leave.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
This house unless I make my bed. Oh me too,
Yeah same.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I have actually been in the goddamn driveway before and
it hits me I didn't make the bed. I will
pull the car back in the fucking driveway and run
back into.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The house to make the bed. I have to do it.
It has to be done. Me too.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
And more music related news. A little a little sighting
spotted loved seeing Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, her new boyfriend,
at a Lakers game together in non music related news,
but a big viral moment since our last show. Jeremy
Allen White, one of Booker's favorite actors, the star of
(23:39):
that one TV show where he played that chef what
was it called the Bear?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The Bear.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yes, he is the new face and body of Calvin
Klein and not since I don't know a while, has
a fucking advertising campaign gotten quite a reaction like it
was pretty awesome and exciting to so it was a
good choice to pick him. And he looked bananas amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
The dude is cut right.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
But my favorite thing is because I have this thirst
trap Instagram where I post hot dudes pink Perez insta.
If you're bored, I'll never be that bored. By the way,
not you, but our female listeners and our gaze, I
could tell he achieved that through hard work and it's natural.
It's not like he's taking human growth hormone or steroids
(24:28):
or whatever. It is like that was just hard work
and natural and that's what I prefer. I love that.
I appreciate it. So good on you.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Isn't he a sober guy.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I think he is. Maybe he had problems before. Maybe
I have him confused with somebody else.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Well, I think he needs to be because his wife,
remember his ex, remember, like is demanding like multiple drug
and alcohol tests today.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh yeah, see, yeah, I knew there was something there.
So yeah, you know, that happens a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
And good for him channeling all that energy into something
that's paying off for him being the you know, the
face the body of Calvin Klein.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's good. He looks great.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
That was so funny, Like a lot of people were
making a moment of trying to find his belly button.
Go back and look at it, because in some of
the photos it's hard. It's really hard to see his
belly button. Yes, I think it's just because he's got
blonde hair in his blonde chest hair, so it's kind
(25:21):
of like hiding the belly button. But whatever, he looked
fucking amazing. Also a pretty viral moment was Kat Williams,
the comedian full disclosure, I don't have the fucking time
for this. Jesus fucking Christ. He sat down for a
podcast interview Club Shay Shay, and apparently, I mean, I
(25:45):
don't know, maybe a lot of people were off work
this week or what the fuck happened? But it became
a big thing. But this interview was over three hours long.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Worn peace.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I don't even think I would watch a three hour
long Madonna interview, like give me sixty minutes, max, But
I would have watched the Cat Williams interview. It was
sixty minutes, but or an hour and a half perhaps,
but three plus hours.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now it's funny.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I like that guy. He is funny and you know
the best part about it, And I think why people
are clamoring over it is he threw so much shade.
He called out fellow comedians, everybody from Steve Harvey to
Kevin Hart, and the list was long.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Really I got a listen to that then, not all
three hours. I hope someone could summarize the greatest hits.
Maybe I should edit that podcast to put it out
for the world to hear.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I would watch that.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It would be forty minutes when I'm done.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
With it, saying that nobody's that Kevin Hart doesn't really
have any fans, which is weird because Kevin hurt last
year and performed at a big ass venue here in
Las Vegas. He plays big venues.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
He plays stadiums. He's funny, he's got a lot of fans.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yeah, I think he's got a lot of fans too.
On the patreot On, we discussed briefly Taraji p Henson
voicing her frustration that she's been mistreated and underpaid historically
throughout her career and entertainment. And while I absolutely agree
(27:16):
with that and support her, in another new interview, she
said something to me where it's like, mm, be careful, girl,
because now you're slipping into like diva unsavory behavior. She
complained that she had to drive herself to the set
of The Color Purple. Which I get that, Okay, you're
(27:37):
an A list actor or B plus or A minus
or whatever, you're a big actor. It's common for big
actors to be driven to the set, and she wasn't,
so she advocated for that for herself and her co stars.
The thing that made me like really arch and raise
an eyebrow real high was her complaining over the fact
that she had to audition for The Color Purple. It's
(27:59):
not a right movie. It's a movie musical, and I
don't think she's got any singing experience on that I'm
aware of. On film or TV.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I don't care if it's a regular whatever. I think
if a director wants you to audition, there are many,
many A level actors that still go in and audition.
A director wants to see them in that role with
those words, and that's their prerogative. You're an employee.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Shut up, stop bitching.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Another story that went viral this week was the release
of this South African Olympic runner, the one that was
a paraplegic that murdered his girlfriend oscars. How do you
pronounce his name? It's p I s t O r
i us. However, the fuck you pronounce his last name?
(28:46):
That dude murdered his girlfriend. It's not like Gypsy Rose
Blanchard that was convicted of second degree murderer. This guy
was convicted of doing the deed and he served just
nine years in South Africa, nine years because they believed
in rehabilitation. The guy's a fucking murderer.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Wasn't the whole thing like he thought he was sleeping
when he did it or something. The whole thing was
so weird. I kind of remember the case.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
He claimed it was an intruder. Yeah, seems like a
bullshit excuse to me.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I would think it's a lot easier just to break
up with someone than to kill them, but that's just me.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I have an interesting question from Patreon supporter iber Aim
Ibrahim says, I want you guys to discuss two things.
Who is a bigger star Britney Spears circa nineteen ninety
eight to two thousand and four or Taylor Swift. Now
there's not even it's not even closed. Taylor Swift now,
(29:44):
no way, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
No way.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Britney Spears also did the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Britney Spears never did a single stadium tour.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
She could have, well, she didn't.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
So Brittany had a ton of fans. Taylor has a
ton of fans. Taylor has a lot of fans that
are her fans, but it doesn't mean she's as broad and.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Mass appeal she is.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
She's more.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't think I agree with you. I think Brittany
back in the day was bigger. There's just less celebrity.
Now there's less anything.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Taylor has more hits and has sold more albums.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Brittany was gigantic. Taylor was like bordering on Madonna level,
and so is Taylor. But I think Brittany back in
that moment was like white.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Hot, not as big as Taylor now.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I just think there's less now, there's less for Taylor
to compete with. I think she has accrued twenty years
of fans, That's what I think. I don't think that
the mass is an average everyday person. Every guy knows
every Taylor sweat that guys don't know her.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Musical maybe not guys, that's not her hits.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Are very few and far between, pass not outside.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Of the one hit from this album name another hit, Okay,
Cruel Summer was an even bigger hit.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Or two albums ago from two albums ago.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, from twenty twenty three, though that it was a
hit like hello.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
That's my point, Okay, she has a lot of fans agreed.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
She's at the mountaintop. She's on Mount Rushbourne.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Thank you to Asia Alire Chinnita, Christine Morano, Haley Beck,
Jenn mccloyd, Lady Jehan, Penelope Pisstop, Sarah Francis, and Tashina
Jones Patreon supporters for your topics for today. Finally, before
we get to a call or two earlier today, Ariana
Grande announced that she's releasing new music this Friday. Wow good,
(31:33):
It's gonna be a really busy Friday because, in addition
to Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez is also releasing a new song,
and so is Lil mas X, although Lil mas X
and Ariana Grande I wouldn't say are necessarily competing with
each other. But I don't know if does Little moss
X get played on hip hop radio? I don't think so.
He's a pop depends on the song. Yeah, yeah, I'm excited.
(31:57):
But my question is, do you think all of the
negative attention Ariana Grande got for her new relationship will
or could affect negatively the comeback.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I think either the song is great or it's not.
I typically don't believe that a lot of the static
really infiltrates if you like a song or not.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I agree, I agree.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I mean people still fucking listen to Chris Brown and
we know what kind of person here?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah, r Kelly's a jam. Yeah the freaking weekend and
I'm about to have it. So that's a great song.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Let's take some goals.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Hey, hey Booker, ell again Patreon supporter.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
It takes me forever to get through I favored these
episodes ten.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
So now you're talking about the Barbie like eligibility for Oscars.
Booker mentioned, like, didn't they do a Barbie movie years ago?
And it reminds me of the Disney film Life Size.
I just had to go the poster and it's Talabanks
and Lindsay Lohan. I'm like a preachy bescent girl, and
I gotta say it was the hottest thing around for
(32:58):
millennials and the early nineties. Wonder if this is a
quote unquote Barbie movie that you're thinking of.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I thought maybe there was a Barbie movie, but maybe
there wasn't. I don't fucking know.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
She's telling you there wasn't, and I thought there wasn't.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Okay, they just say there wasn't a Barbie.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
She was trying to explain to you that you might
have thought of this other film intad.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I never heard of that terrible movie. Whatever that is. Hi,
it's Chillian from New York.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
So I have a friend and she I don't know
where it gets like a nipple ring.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Fuck, And she goes on.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
The subway and it was cold and she had a
T shirt on and the T shirt said pretending to
be to be good or pretending to be a good girl,
some shit like that. And this guy comes up to
her whispers in her ear. How are you pretending to
be good with a nipple ring? I think that's what
you don't want to happen. Keep your nipples covered up, ladies.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Hi, are we talking about the nipple bra? Is that
what that's coming off?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
I'm guessing I love it. I'm all for it, and
that in some places, in some cities, it's actually legal
for women to be topless if they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I'm fucking moving to wherever that is.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Booker l from Jersey.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Was it el but just called two calls?
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I can think so, right?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Question Ell, he's up on the fucking call.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
No, we love it.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Booker's inquiring about Gypsy Rules. I've been trying to watch
the act on Hulu. It was so popular in like
twenty eighteen when it came out, and it's essentially the
story of Gypsy Rules, and it's called Munchausens by Proxy.
If you're truly interested, watch the act on Hulu because
it gives you the full story and it gives you
(34:44):
more context.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I would rather pluck my nose hairs one by one
eight hundred seven five.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
If your name is not El or if your name
is not Chloe from.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Pittsburgh, how about some new calls from some people that
have never called before that I'd be fantastic.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Somebody yeah, well no, I mean somebody that's a Patreon supporter.
DMed me on TikTok to say that you were not
very nice to her when she called into the Patriot
to the Patriot when she called into the podcast, right.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
So leave better calls then, Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
God, stop it. I appreciate all our callers.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I appreciate calls. I just would like them to be better,
that's all. And some variety. I just want some other
people to check it.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
And I appreciate all of our listeners, you included, So
thank you for listening. We'll see some of you on
Thursday for the Patreon Show. Have a wonderful week, everybody,
take it easy.
From Los Angeles and.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
One and only world famous Perez Perez Hilton.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Everybody, welcome to the php A booker. There's Perez right there.
What's going on, buddy?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right?
Speaker 4 (00:23):
I know a lot of you want it, and a
lot of you also were feeling left out because some
of you, I understand, are not supporters of the Patreon.
Not everybody can afford for ninety nine a month. That's okay.
We did speak about Gypsy Rose Blanchard a lot on
our Patreon last week, and we will be sharing some
(00:44):
more Gypsy Rose Blanchard today for all. We're also gonna
talk Taylor Swift, that lack a doodle in the Talia
Grace story, Are you on a Grande? And more? But first,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I don't think I have anything at all to report.
We're recording today on a Sunday for the Patreon people.
You're gonna get this today on Sunday. Everybody else will
be getting this tomorrow. This part that I just said
won't be a part of the show, but I just wanted.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
To let the Patreon people know. All is good man.
How about you?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Did you ever have that feeling that you think you
should feel worse? Than you do, but you don't how
so meaning if this would have been three weeks ago,
I would have been in such a state of despair.
But I've really made the gym a priority for me
this week. I've gone every single day to the gym.
(01:36):
And I'm just so overwhelmed and just behind on every
aspect of my life professionally and personally, and like, you know,
you know me how extreme I am and how cheap
I am. So I am trying to get window treatments
from my house, and before really understanding what that process was, like,
(01:58):
I did what I thought was the smart and sensible
rational thing to do. I set up eight consultations Jesus Christ,
and they come to your house, right, And I just assumed, Oh,
it's gona be like thirty minutes each. Fuck no, at
least two hours. Some are longer than two hours each.
And I've been I barely, I've been like unable to
(02:21):
get any work done because I've scheduled like four of these.
I thankfully spaced them out because I didn't want to
do them all back to back, but they're so fucking long, right,
And it sucks because I also feel like with meeting
enough people eventually you'll find the right fit. Some folks,
even if you tell them what you want, they just
want to upsell you.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You're in a fancy pants neighborhood, and they think you're
going to pay a fancy pants price.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I said, no, I said, listen, my number one priority
is to find something that is nice. It doesn't need
to be fancy or look fancy, but it doesn't need to.
I don't want it to look cheap, and I don't
want it to be expensive either.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Said I ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Why don't you just go to blinds dot com and
order blinds and measure them. That's what I did for
every inch of my house. I have nothing but high
quality blinds. I have the rollers, I have the wood
ones in the front.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
They look great.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And I guarantee you most of these people that come over,
they're gonna do the measurements, and they're gonna go to
blinds dot Com and they're gonna buy the blinds and
then send you their upcharge bill for putting them in.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Did you install them yourself?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yes, it's fucking easy. I mean, oh, but I can't.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
If you want me to fly over and do it,
I will it'll take me a day to install all
your fucking windows. But it's not hard to do it,
really isn't. I mean, you need a handyman. You gotta
find you need one.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yes, that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
You got to find a handyman and say, hey, I
want blinds. Go measure this. You know a lot of
those companies, that's what they do.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's a shakedown.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Anyways, I still manage to take my kids out. Yesterday,
they grudgingly, even though I didn't want to, I took
them to go see Disney on Ice. We had a
wonderful time. Now let's get to the show, all right.
I am officially proclaiming that Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a
gay icon. Really, I don't know why, but so many
(04:11):
of my gays are obsessed with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, and
a lot of our female listeners too, although maybe they're
perhaps more divided. But and I think I'm in the minority,
but the gays are all about Gypsy Rose. Like they
keep texting me and sending me did you see what
she said here? Did you read that?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
But like Geez Louise, she's been doing the rounds because
her Lifetime show is about to drop, and she did
the view she did Good Morning America, And I have
thoughts if it's not apparent to the average viewer or observer,
she is absolutely a getting help with her social media
(04:49):
and b she has a thousand percent been coached with
what to say. She's gone through media training in the
last week or two. And it's not like that intens
it's just more of like, let's do a pretend interview.
These are the kinds of questions you're gonna get asked
so that she knows what to say. Because the answers
(05:09):
that she gave were sound bites. And that's fine because
she hit all the notes. She expressed regret for what
happened to her mother, She took accountability. It was as
if a media professional, like I said, told her what
to say, and she did it. So kudos to her team,
(05:30):
and you know, kudos to her because she's clearly hungry
for all of this. You know, she could have done
a little bit of media, but not a lot. Like
not only did she do all these TV shows, she's
been doing podcasts now as well, like and not even
like the biggest podcast ever, like fucking smaller podcast too.
Like that Nick Vile from the Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Really, what the fuck is he asking her?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Do you watch the Bachelor? I mean, what's that about?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Maybe she did in prison, I mean she listened to
Taylor Swift behind bars, and it's like, I don't think
this will be sustainable, Like it's just right now and
everything going on. But like literally today one of my
gays texting me an article like, ooh, Gypsy Rose Blancher
says that she wants Millie Bobby Brown to play her
(06:18):
in a biopic.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh oh my god, I hate this person already.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I don't hate her. I do have a lot of
empathy and compassion and understanding for her because she went
through so much trauma. But like I said on the Patreon,
it still feels weird to me that we are celebrating
and some people idolizing, right, or maybe there's also an
element of mocking, Like I just don't know how much
people are truly supporting her with this behavior going on
(06:46):
right now. But you know, she's getting the good d
and she's enjoying herself, so good for you. We're starting
off strong today with a whole trio of truth crime,
real life stories. Moving on from gypsy Rose Blanchard to
Casey Anthony, why is that woman in the headlines again? Well,
(07:09):
because her parents had this A and E special And
there's this one moment in particular where the father took
a polygraph test, Casey Anthony's dad who has long been
rumored to possibly have been involved in the death of
his granddaughter. And I'm not one of these people. A
(07:29):
lot of people are making a big deal about this
polygraph test moment, but hello, polygraph tests are not admissible
in court.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Well they're not one hundred percent accurate either. People learn
how to dodge them. There's holes in that as well.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
So a lot of people were making much to do
about this, and to me, it's a much to do
about nothing. I'm more interested though, in this Natalia Grace story.
Did you hear about that?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I'm not sure which one this is. Refresh my memory.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
This has been an ongoing story for many years. This
had a TV special on ID. I believe Natalia Grace
is that Ukrainian immigrant that was adopted by this family
and then abandoned. She has Dwarfism and they thought that
she was lying about her age, that she was in
(08:19):
her twenties and not like a young kid. Yeah, yeah,
I know this so that story, so you know, it's
just the series was, you know, rehashing everything that happened,
and there were some developments there, like the father who
had originally adopted her throwing his wife under the bus
and saying that it was all the wife's fault and
(08:41):
blah blah blah blah. But the real bombshell moment, the
really explosive thing that was interesting and even juicy to
me is for the last ten years, this Natalia Grace
woman who allegedly, according to a blood test performed on
this show New Scientific Death shows that she was young
(09:03):
back when she was originally adopted, and now she's believed
to be around twenty or twenty two years old. The
family that took her in after that other family threw
her away, left her abandoned, and they went to Canada.
This family that adopted her legally, they now claim she's
an evil witch. They've turned they've turned their back on her.
(09:27):
What a twist. Wow. Yeah. They called in to the
producers and they said, something ain't right with Natalia. This
girl is tweaking. I feel like she's the enemy in
the house. And she said to us we had held
her hostage, made us look like we're the enemy. Natalia
(09:48):
is stabbing her family in the back over a complete lie.
She's done other things too, but this was a new low.
Natalia does not have emotions for nothing but herself. We're done,
We're done with her.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I don't understand this whole family, Like they're as dramatic
as she is, Like how do these people find each other?
And are they all full of shit? Is this a
television show? And they just realized, let's put some drama
into this. Is someone lying?
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Is she nuts?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What a plot line?
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Now, of course there's gonna be a second season of
this show. Congrats to them all make that money. I'm
like Natalia Grace and you know fucking Gypsy Rose Blanchard,
like I need to do some crazy shit, like I
need like what do I fucking need to do? Like
give me ideas, y'all. I'm open.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I like that.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
We started off today with different types of topics. As always,
our Patreon supporters give us suggestions, and all three of
these came from Patreon, so we really appreciate our supporters.
Some baby news, you know, she is in Los Angeles
this weekend. Had a girl's night out with some of
the Kansas cheaty shit shit exactly had a girl's night
(11:02):
out with I've said this so many times. This ch
for some reason, trips Cubans up. It trips me up.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh it does.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, it's a Cuban thing like chair chair chair chair,
no chair.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
We just have trouble with ch and English. Anyways, she
was hanging out with the wags in Los Angeles and
having a good time, much deserved, much needed, because she
was dragged by The New York Times, of all people,
really publications. Yes, the New York Times ran an article
(11:37):
and opinion. This was shocking to me. Okay, because the
New York Times is the paper of record. It is
supposedly and supposed to be the most regarded and respected,
reputable publication in the United States, if not the world,
and they ran an opinion piece in their opinion section
speculating that Taylor Swift is a closeted queer person.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Really she's gay.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I know that did not come across your desk.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I have the New York Times, but I typically don't
read the opinion section because it is usually stuff that's
kind of out there. So I'm never really like into it.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Well, it upset Taylor and her team so much that
her publicist, allegedly somebody off the record spoke to the
New York Times and put them on blast, as they should,
So shame on you, New York Times. Not cool.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, you know, having an opinion is fine. I don't
think having an opinion is a terrible thing. But it's
just a weird thing to report put in the newspaper.
But that's what I'd said. I don't Typically I see
those articles and I'll get like a paragraph in I'm like,
this is a fucking loon looking for hits, and then
I just move on.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So this sounds like another loon looking for hits.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
And I think the associate of Taylor Swift might have
mentioned this that New York Times would have never ran
that article and speculated something like that about Shawn Mendes.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Okay, yeah, well we don't care about Shawn Mendes. No
one would read it. That's why it's all about clicks.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Right, or Justin Bieber or whomever who they have the
biggest music.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
But I don't think.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Justin Bieber's ever like been with a dude. He doesn't
put off the vibe. Now does Taylor Taylor Swift. Let
me ask you a question, do you think Taylor Swift
has ever had a night now wrestling nights with another
woman or a lesbian evening?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Zero? Yeah? I disagree with you.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I bet she has no no other like Katy Perry obviously,
Lady Gaga for definitely, but not.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I don't believe you're saying Taylor's that square, that she
wouldn't have a night where she uh, you know, screwed
around with one of these hot models that she's hanging
out with. I mean, she didn't hang out with ugly
girls back in the day. She hung out with like
the hottest girls.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Ever, I don't think she did. I don't. I don't
pretty I had pretty good gaytar Okay, so what ebbs?
In more music related news, Oftentimes I find these rumors credible.
You know, they're they're seated and planted. Multiple reports are
(14:11):
talking about rumored Coachella twenty twenty four headliners. Right, you
saw that I did, and every single artist is laying
as fuck.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
But the festival has changed to you know, this really
cred cool kind of indie rock festival to a pop
everybody goes to No one gives a shit about the
lineup anymore. It's all about going to the desert and
getting fucked up and the scene and going to parties.
The music is ancillary, and it's unfortunate because it was
(14:45):
a really cool festival back in the day.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But it's all about what.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Are you wearing to Coachella and the food and every
fucking thing else about the music. So I don't even
care who plays anymore.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
It's over. It's done.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So the big three headliners, according to It's Daily Double,
which I considered to be a reputable music industry publication,
they say they are Lana del Rey, Titler of the Creator,
and Doja Cat and all three of them have also
performed at Coachella in the last few years, so there's
nothing special.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I mean, any band that's headlined usually has worked their
way up from a smaller stage.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's not abnormal.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Well, I have the best headliner. I get like I
would fucking I've never been to Coachella, but if they
did this act, my ass would be there. And actually
I think it might break records. It's a pretty out
there choice, but I think it's brilliant and inspired and
I guarantee you if you disagree with me, nine out
of ten of our callers will agree with me eight
(15:44):
hundred and seventy two one one eight five. My dream
pick for Coachella twenty twenty four headliner is the Spice Girls.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, that would be awesome. The Spice Girls.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Well, I had read and I don't know if it's
the same article that you read. Shakira wanted to do
it and they turned her down. What Yeah, so, I'm
I don't know if they like want to be the
oldie Zach kind of thing, but every year they do
have a Guns n' Roses or an ac DC or
you know, maybe a more heritage rock band, a heritage.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Pop group like the Spice Girls. I wholeheartedly agree with you.
But they could do that anywhere for anything, and it
would be huge because people would.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Go, especially because the Spice Girls haven't toured in the
or done a single show in the United States since
two thousand and eight. Oh really, yeah, that would be massive.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It would be massive.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Yeah, they did do a UK stadium summer tour in
twenty nineteen. I think it's time for a Vegas residency
than girls. In more music related news, paramour has many
of their fans concerned because they have deleted or they're
not deleted, but their website is offline and they have
(16:58):
taken down their social media accounts and folks are unsure
what's happening. Well, I have an update for you all.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
They were supposed to be on our show next weekend.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
I was going to get to that as well. Yeah,
so they are done with their record label, right, They're
now a free agent and the record label and they've
been with that label Atlantic for twenty years. It's pretty
unusual actually for an artist to be with one label
for that long. I mean, it happens, but it's not
the typical and they are in an in between phase.
(17:33):
And as Booker mentioned, next week, they were supposed to
perform at this ALT ninety eight to seven show in
Los Angeles. It's called I Have a Question. They pulled
out of that, and a lot of people were worried
because they took down their social media and pulled out
(17:53):
of this show. Does typically the record label or the
radio station and cover the costs associated with an act
performing at a show like that.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I think it's sometimes split. I don't think you know
radio typically and I don't want to say that. I know,
you know, I work for a radio company, but I
think a lot of that has to do with splitting
of a lot of that production cost because there's relationships
and management and.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Vials, So that makes sense. My thought was they pulled
out because they probably just don't want to incur any
personal costs themselves that might be associated with performing at.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
That there's something else going on, And the first sign
was well to be really real. And I don't know this,
but I worried about this, and I wondered about this.
You know, Paramore is going out with Taylor Swift. Taylor
Swift Matty Heally, Matty Heally the nineteen seventy five is
the headliner of the show with Paramore.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
So that was my first like, uh, oh.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait you're confused. Wait Maddy he in nineteen seventy five
are not going on tour with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Paramore is those two broke up, and I think that
Haley is very team Taylor. They're both on the ninety
eight to seven all three Ego lineup together as headliners.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Oh I guess I missed that, Okay, I don't believe that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I don't think that had anything to do with it.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
But that was my first months and months ago thought was,
oh God, I hope Team Taylor doesn't like step In
and you know, the fans killed them for playing with him,
and you know how online is, you know how it worse.
So but then when they wipe their social media before
the holiday break, I was like, uh, oh, this is
(19:38):
never a good sign.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
And we knew we had the show coming up, and.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
They just made the announcement that they canceled the show
in all transparency, not a clue, not a reason why.
I think they're citing it as mental health reasons, and
I think that's.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The end of it.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
No one's asking any questions after that, so I don't
know if there's anything else. I don't know if the
label deal has anything to do with it. I don't
know if Maddie has anything to do with it. I
think there's a couple in the band that may have
something to do with it. Maybe the end of that
relationship happened a lot of factors.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It's a new year and people tend to make changes
at the beginning.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Of the year, so we'll see well, there's still as
of right now attached to the Taylor Swift European leg right,
and even before that, they've got some solo shows as
Paramore the band.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
They have some things booked, so I don't think they're
breaking up.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
No, it's you know what, It's all good if you
need to take a mental health moment. Many artists have
done that.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It is wild that it's a new thing, though it's
something that never used to happen.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Even if you go back a decade.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Ten years, no one would ever cancel a show, and
if they did, the artist would go online crying and
oh my god, I had to cancel. Now it's becoming like, eh,
somebody canceled. The fans still get pissed online, you know,
but they're always pissed about something. But it's a different day.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I mean, I don't want to generalize and say it's
a younger generation thing, but it's just some people. I'm
training my kids like fuckers, Like you're gonna work hard.
I don't give a shit you think some days I
just don't want to do I just want to take
a mental health day and do nothing. Well, I don't
have that luxury, you know, you just got to keep
trugging along.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Well, we're gen X, and you know that's the marching
orders of anybody from Gen X. And it's a different generation.
You're right on the cusp of the new generation. So
it's it's just a different way of seeing things. And
I'm not gonna throw shade at them, but I agree
with you. I think it's cool to train your kids
that it's tough out there and sometimes you gotta grit
through it. You got to bite your lip and grit
(21:43):
through days.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
You have to trick them into being excited for hard work.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Really like, oh.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I did it? Like I don't want I don't want
them to hear me.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
He's looking around like they're going to run it. I
don't have bush it.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
It's Sunday. We were in the carrying to Disney on
Ice and I said, you know, next year, when you're twelve,
I'm gonna let you go to the gym with me,
and you can go to the gym with me every morning.
And you want to go to the gym with me?
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Right?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
He said yes. I'm like, fuck yes, I would have.
I was the lazy, fat fuck that would have hated
that and would have just not gone. I would have
not done it realize and then and then after my
son said yes, then my middle child said I want
to go too, and I'm like, well, great, when you're twelve,
you can go as well.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
They can work out at the house every day.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
When I was a kid, when I was probably eleven twelve,
I did push ups and setups every day after school.
And I'm not shitting you when I tell you I
could do like five six hundred setups, no problem.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I could do one hundred push ups in my sleep. Wow.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I did it every day after school. And I think
there's something to that. I think there's something to happen.
A regiment and yeah, you know, training people that hard
work pays off. And it's the same thing of every
morning when I wake up, no matter what, I will
not leave.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
This house unless I make my bed. Oh me too,
Yeah same.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I have actually been in the goddamn driveway before and
it hits me I didn't make the bed. I will
pull the car back in the fucking driveway and run
back into.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
The house to make the bed. I have to do it.
It has to be done. Me too.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
And more music related news. A little a little sighting
spotted loved seeing Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, her new boyfriend,
at a Lakers game together in non music related news,
but a big viral moment since our last show. Jeremy
Allen White, one of Booker's favorite actors, the star of
(23:39):
that one TV show where he played that chef what
was it called the Bear?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
The Bear.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Yes, he is the new face and body of Calvin
Klein and not since I don't know a while, has
a fucking advertising campaign gotten quite a reaction like it
was pretty awesome and exciting to so it was a
good choice to pick him. And he looked bananas amazing.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
The dude is cut right.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
But my favorite thing is because I have this thirst
trap Instagram where I post hot dudes pink Perez insta.
If you're bored, I'll never be that bored. By the way,
not you, but our female listeners and our gaze, I
could tell he achieved that through hard work and it's natural.
It's not like he's taking human growth hormone or steroids
(24:28):
or whatever. It is like that was just hard work
and natural and that's what I prefer. I love that.
I appreciate it. So good on you.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Isn't he a sober guy.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
I think he is. Maybe he had problems before. Maybe
I have him confused with somebody else.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Well, I think he needs to be because his wife,
remember his ex, remember, like is demanding like multiple drug
and alcohol tests today.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Oh yeah, see, yeah, I knew there was something there.
So yeah, you know, that happens a lot.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
And good for him channeling all that energy into something
that's paying off for him being the you know, the
face the body of Calvin Klein.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's good. He looks great.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
That was so funny, Like a lot of people were
making a moment of trying to find his belly button.
Go back and look at it, because in some of
the photos it's hard. It's really hard to see his
belly button. Yes, I think it's just because he's got
blonde hair in his blonde chest hair, so it's kind
(25:21):
of like hiding the belly button. But whatever, he looked
fucking amazing. Also a pretty viral moment was Kat Williams,
the comedian full disclosure, I don't have the fucking time
for this. Jesus fucking Christ. He sat down for a
podcast interview Club Shay Shay, and apparently, I mean, I
(25:45):
don't know, maybe a lot of people were off work
this week or what the fuck happened? But it became
a big thing. But this interview was over three hours long.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Worn peace.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
I don't even think I would watch a three hour
long Madonna interview, like give me sixty minutes, max, But
I would have watched the Cat Williams interview. It was
sixty minutes, but or an hour and a half perhaps,
but three plus hours.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now it's funny.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
I like that guy. He is funny and you know
the best part about it, And I think why people
are clamoring over it is he threw so much shade.
He called out fellow comedians, everybody from Steve Harvey to
Kevin Hart, and the list was long.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Really I got a listen to that then, not all
three hours. I hope someone could summarize the greatest hits.
Maybe I should edit that podcast to put it out
for the world to hear.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I would watch that.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It would be forty minutes when I'm done.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
With it, saying that nobody's that Kevin Hart doesn't really
have any fans, which is weird because Kevin hurt last
year and performed at a big ass venue here in
Las Vegas. He plays big venues.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
He plays stadiums. He's funny, he's got a lot of fans.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yeah, I think he's got a lot of fans too.
On the patreot On, we discussed briefly Taraji p Henson
voicing her frustration that she's been mistreated and underpaid historically
throughout her career and entertainment. And while I absolutely agree
(27:16):
with that and support her, in another new interview, she
said something to me where it's like, mm, be careful, girl,
because now you're slipping into like diva unsavory behavior. She
complained that she had to drive herself to the set
of The Color Purple. Which I get that, Okay, you're
(27:37):
an A list actor or B plus or A minus
or whatever, you're a big actor. It's common for big
actors to be driven to the set, and she wasn't,
so she advocated for that for herself and her co stars.
The thing that made me like really arch and raise
an eyebrow real high was her complaining over the fact
that she had to audition for The Color Purple. It's
(27:59):
not a right movie. It's a movie musical, and I
don't think she's got any singing experience on that I'm
aware of. On film or TV.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I don't care if it's a regular whatever. I think
if a director wants you to audition, there are many,
many A level actors that still go in and audition.
A director wants to see them in that role with
those words, and that's their prerogative. You're an employee.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Shut up, stop bitching.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Another story that went viral this week was the release
of this South African Olympic runner, the one that was
a paraplegic that murdered his girlfriend oscars. How do you
pronounce his name? It's p I s t O r
i us. However, the fuck you pronounce his last name?
(28:46):
That dude murdered his girlfriend. It's not like Gypsy Rose
Blanchard that was convicted of second degree murderer. This guy
was convicted of doing the deed and he served just
nine years in South Africa, nine years because they believed
in rehabilitation. The guy's a fucking murderer.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Wasn't the whole thing like he thought he was sleeping
when he did it or something. The whole thing was
so weird. I kind of remember the case.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
He claimed it was an intruder. Yeah, seems like a
bullshit excuse to me.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I would think it's a lot easier just to break
up with someone than to kill them, but that's just me.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
I have an interesting question from Patreon supporter iber Aim
Ibrahim says, I want you guys to discuss two things.
Who is a bigger star Britney Spears circa nineteen ninety
eight to two thousand and four or Taylor Swift. Now
there's not even it's not even closed. Taylor Swift now,
(29:44):
no way, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
No way.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Britney Spears also did the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Britney Spears never did a single stadium tour.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
She could have, well, she didn't.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
So Brittany had a ton of fans. Taylor has a
ton of fans. Taylor has a lot of fans that
are her fans, but it doesn't mean she's as broad and.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Mass appeal she is.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
She's more.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't think I agree with you. I think Brittany
back in the day was bigger. There's just less celebrity.
Now there's less anything.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Taylor has more hits and has sold more albums.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Brittany was gigantic. Taylor was like bordering on Madonna level,
and so is Taylor. But I think Brittany back in
that moment was like white.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Hot, not as big as Taylor now.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I just think there's less now, there's less for Taylor
to compete with. I think she has accrued twenty years
of fans, That's what I think. I don't think that
the mass is an average everyday person. Every guy knows
every Taylor sweat that guys don't know her.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Musical maybe not guys, that's not her hits.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Are very few and far between, pass not outside.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Of the one hit from this album name another hit, Okay,
Cruel Summer was an even bigger hit.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Or two albums ago from two albums ago.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah, from twenty twenty three, though that it was a
hit like hello.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
That's my point, Okay, she has a lot of fans agreed.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
She's at the mountaintop. She's on Mount Rushbourne.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Thank you to Asia Alire Chinnita, Christine Morano, Haley Beck,
Jenn mccloyd, Lady Jehan, Penelope Pisstop, Sarah Francis, and Tashina
Jones Patreon supporters for your topics for today. Finally, before
we get to a call or two earlier today, Ariana
Grande announced that she's releasing new music this Friday. Wow good,
(31:33):
It's gonna be a really busy Friday because, in addition
to Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez is also releasing a new song,
and so is Lil mas X, although Lil mas X
and Ariana Grande I wouldn't say are necessarily competing with
each other. But I don't know if does Little moss
X get played on hip hop radio? I don't think so.
He's a pop depends on the song. Yeah, yeah, I'm excited.
(31:57):
But my question is, do you think all of the
negative attention Ariana Grande got for her new relationship will
or could affect negatively the comeback.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
I think either the song is great or it's not.
I typically don't believe that a lot of the static
really infiltrates if you like a song or not.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
I agree, I agree.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
I mean people still fucking listen to Chris Brown and
we know what kind of person here?
Speaker 3 (32:22):
Yeah, r Kelly's a jam. Yeah the freaking weekend and
I'm about to have it. So that's a great song.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
Let's take some goals.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
Hey, hey Booker, ell again Patreon supporter.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
It takes me forever to get through I favored these
episodes ten.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
So now you're talking about the Barbie like eligibility for Oscars.
Booker mentioned, like, didn't they do a Barbie movie years ago?
And it reminds me of the Disney film Life Size.
I just had to go the poster and it's Talabanks
and Lindsay Lohan. I'm like a preachy bescent girl, and
I gotta say it was the hottest thing around for
(32:58):
millennials and the early nineties. Wonder if this is a
quote unquote Barbie movie that you're thinking of.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
That's what I said.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I thought maybe there was a Barbie movie, but maybe
there wasn't. I don't fucking know.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
She's telling you there wasn't, and I thought there wasn't.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Okay, they just say there wasn't a Barbie.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
She was trying to explain to you that you might
have thought of this other film intad.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I never heard of that terrible movie. Whatever that is. Hi,
it's Chillian from New York.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
So I have a friend and she I don't know
where it gets like a nipple ring.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Fuck, And she goes on.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
The subway and it was cold and she had a
T shirt on and the T shirt said pretending to
be to be good or pretending to be a good girl,
some shit like that. And this guy comes up to
her whispers in her ear. How are you pretending to
be good with a nipple ring? I think that's what
you don't want to happen. Keep your nipples covered up, ladies.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Hi, are we talking about the nipple bra? Is that
what that's coming off?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
I'm guessing I love it. I'm all for it, and
that in some places, in some cities, it's actually legal
for women to be topless if they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I'm fucking moving to wherever that is.
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Booker l from Jersey.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Was it el but just called two calls?
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I can think so, right?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Question Ell, he's up on the fucking call.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
No, we love it.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Booker's inquiring about Gypsy Rules. I've been trying to watch
the act on Hulu. It was so popular in like
twenty eighteen when it came out, and it's essentially the
story of Gypsy Rules, and it's called Munchausens by Proxy.
If you're truly interested, watch the act on Hulu because
it gives you the full story and it gives you
(34:44):
more context.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I would rather pluck my nose hairs one by one
eight hundred seven five.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
If your name is not El or if your name
is not Chloe from.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Pittsburgh, how about some new calls from some people that
have never called before that I'd be fantastic.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Somebody yeah, well no, I mean somebody that's a Patreon supporter.
DMed me on TikTok to say that you were not
very nice to her when she called into the Patriot
to the Patriot when she called into the podcast, right.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
So leave better calls then, Oh.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
God, stop it. I appreciate all our callers.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I appreciate calls. I just would like them to be better,
that's all. And some variety. I just want some other
people to check it.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
And I appreciate all of our listeners, you included, So

Thursday for the Patreon Show. Have a wonderful week, everybody,
