Speaker 1 (00:01):
From Los Angeles, the PHP.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
One and only.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Perez Gilt.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
My friends, Welcome to the PHP A booker, that would
be Perez.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
How do you do. I'm well, I'm excited because, gosh,
you know, I've been doing this now for twenty one
years and I personally embrace change, and I think it's
always a fun thing when we get to talk about
new people regularly. It's literally, you know, the changing of
the guard. Sydney Sweeney is dominating conversation. We are going
(00:44):
to get to that. If you have no idea what
I'm talking about, I will explain the new developments. Also
Diddy and Donald Trump. There's a lot to unpack there,
plus some updates in Baldoni versus Lively and Demi Love
has divided the gaze. Really, I'll let you know where
(01:04):
I stand, but first, how are you.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I'm good. I had a pretty quiet weekend. I tried
to go to Lady Gaga, but I couldn't get tickets.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Wow, that's a good problem for her to have.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, I mean I called the label on Friday. They're like,
we don't have any Saturday tickets. I'm like, come on,
find some, and they usually find some, but they didn't
find any So it must have been a great show.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah. She was there for a lot of nights too.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Three nights. Yeah. I couldn't go any other night but Saturday, though,
that was the problem. I went to the US Open
of Surfing on Friday and Huntington Beach. It's just so
pretty down at the ocean. You know, I live in
the valley. It's like, how long.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Does it take you to get from your place to
Huntington Beach?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
About an hour? Ten? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Oh god, yeah, I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Though.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
It was worth it, you know, to do my radio
show on the beach.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
It was great fun. I had a really fun, action
packed weekend because my sister and niece are visiting, and god,
I'm this tired. Okay, people were making fun of me.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I saw the picture. Yeah, I Kellen pulled him up
and goes, what the hell? I go, he does this
all the time.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
No, but you have no idea. This is the next level.
Because I went to Monster Jam and a lot of
the Monster Jam events are outdoors, but this one is
at an indoor arena. It's so frecking loud. It's so
I had there's noises canceling ear mumps on. I fell
asleep even before they invited us. They had like a
(02:31):
little like pre show thing. We got to meet the
drivers and then they gave us food. I fell asleep
while eating. That's how tired I was.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Who took the pictures?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
My sister that's funny, Oh goodness, but yeah, we did that.
I took the kids to a magic show, Nathan Burton magic.
I love. Actually this guy and everybody else who is
appealing to just normal people, I think are gonna do
very well right now. I went to a magic show
and they advertised tickets starting at twenty two bucks. That's
(03:02):
what Vegas needs, you know. It's like things are getting
even worse and worse in Vegas in terms of tourism
and like people just not coming here.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Well, I was gonna ask you about that because of
your feed And now I follow some other Vegas influencers
and they're all saying and I'm like, is this just bullshit?
But they're saying, like it's Friday afternoon, it's the middle
of the day. I can go from one side of
Vegas to the other side of Vegas at twenty minutes,
like there's nobody here. People are saying it's dead. Is
that true.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I mean, I wouldn't say dead, but hotel occupancy is
way down and visitors are down double digits by I
think eleven percent. So an eleven percent drop in any
business is a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's not good. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah, And honestly, I don't see that improving anytime soon,
especially because you know, Vegas makes way more from international
tourists than local tourists because those stay longer and spend more.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah. And the rest of the world hates us now.
Canadians aren't coming down. And when you look at the
Asian clientele, which is a very big part of Las Vegas,
they're going elsewhere. They're just turned off by America. But
you know, Trump's gonna tell you everything's glowing and great.
We're number one, We're winning. Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He said literally that he cut drug prices by fourteen
hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Uh huh, I saw that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I want to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I know it's such a joke.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Let's keep it moving. Well, let's just skip to the
Trump part. Talk about him that way, okay, Okay. Last week,
there were multiple reports that the White House was in
talks with Team Ditty for a pardon and I just
didn't fucking believe it. Although having said that, if there
is one thing that we can count on with Donald Trump,
(04:42):
it's to do what is not expected. It's to do
what is unpresidential, Okay, So I couldn't totally rule out
the possibility that he would pardon Ditty. So after our
last show, after the Patreon episode, both the prosecution and
Ditty's defense lord submitted proposals for his upcoming sentencing, which
(05:04):
is scheduled for next month, and there are these guidelines
that say, you know, this is what should happen. Initially,
the prosecution was asking for about five years, so it
would be an extra four years. However, theoretically did he
faces twenty years total for both of the convictions that
(05:25):
he got. His lawyers say that he should just get
another year and a half or year extra. Well. In
the letters to the judge this week, the prosecution says
that Ditty should actually get more than the recommended time,
and at the end of the day, it's really up
to the judge and what he decides is best. So
there is a possibility he could get ten years, fifteen years,
(05:47):
twenty years, which is why Team Didty is really pressing
hard for this.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah. Now, I think he'll be out in three to
four years.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
We'll see Trump now was asked on the record in
a new on camera interview by Newsmax, and this is
what he had to say about possibly pardoning Diddy. Quote, well,
he was essentially, I guess sort of half innocent. I
don't know what they do. He's still in jail or something. Pause,
(06:14):
if you've not been following, if you have no idea
what the fuck is going on? Why talk about it? Like?
Why give an answer? Why give an answer?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
How about My answer is this, I'm busy running the
country into the ground at the moment. I don't have
enough time to follow up on his terrible case as well.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
So I guess sort of half innocent. I don't know
what they do. He's still in jail or something. He
was celebrating a victory, but I guess it wasn't as
good a victory. You know. I was very friendly with him.
I got along with him great, and he seemed like
a nice guy. But then he instantly changed his tone
and said that he didn't know him very well. He
(06:50):
then noted that Ditty was very hostile toward him when
he ran for office. Diddy had publicly said that Donald
Trump was dangerous, among other things, and because of that,
Trump now says, quote, it's hard. We're human beings and
we don't like to have things cloud our judgment. Right,
But when you knew someone and you were fine, and
(07:10):
then you run for office and he made some terrible statements,
So I don't know, it's more difficult. I'm being honest.
It makes it more difficult to do to pardon him
because he talks about you, not because of anything else. Right,
So the guy explicitly asked the journalist said so in
terms of a presidential pardon, is that more likely a
(07:32):
no for Diddy? And then Trump said I'd say no,
I'd say so, So, yeah, I don't think it's happening.
But then again, he did pardon the Krizzlies and they
were found guilty by a jury of their peers, and
the Krizlies defrauded banks literally of tens of millions of dollars.
Well whatever, no, all right, Speaking of legal shenanigans, Ah yeah, yeah.
(07:54):
Justin Baldoni is involved in another lawsuit with regard to
everything it ends with us saga. A couple of weeks ago,
he was sued by an insurance company in New York
called Harko, and unfortunately, that same judge overseeing the federal case,
Judge Lyman, was assigned that trial that case with Harco.
(08:18):
So in a preemptive move, I think, to try and
avoid that same fucking judge handling anything else, Baldoni filed
a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against three different
insurance companies. I did not know this, Like, I'm honestly
learning so much, not just about the legal system, but
(08:40):
also about how films are made. As a result of
all of this, turns out that the production company that
Baldoni is the founder of, Wayfair, had a bunch of
different policies, and you know, I guess that's common. So
he did this lump.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Lawsuit what what you call it, like mass lawsuit, this
one lawsuit where he brought in all these different insurers
and he made sure to file it in Los Angeles
and claims that they should pay out because they paid
for insurance for this very reason.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And they all are denying coverage, of.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Course, so why wouldn't they, Yeah, that's what they do
by default. Now it's always no first. Then you got
to threaten them with the courts and they're.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Like, ohka, he sued them.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
So it is very hard to do anything, to make anything,
to do something by the books, because you're so bogged
down in so much legality. And I think people don't
realize how much studios take on. You know, in any project,
somebody could get hurt, somebody could die, somebody could drown.
It about that. There's just so many things that could happen,
(09:47):
so many variables.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
A pa could be driving around an actor and then
they get in a car crash.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Yeah, it could be anything. And it's the same with
record companies. You know, you take on a lot of
things that are un foreseene and it just doesn't have
to do with just the art. You wish it would,
but it doesn't. And the movies have nothing to do
with just the movie. I mean, you see all this
bullshit on the outside, and it's surprising that anything gets made.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Meanwhile, over in New York, a lot of attention was
given to the fact that Justin Baldoni showed up at
Blake Lively's deposition on Thursday. It happened, and she was
not caught by surprise. Her lawyers were made aware that
he would be there, and he had every right to
(10:32):
be there.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Yeah, that same day, Thursday, I had to go to
court here in Las Vegas to deal with all the
drama with Blake Lively. Wow. They don't make it easy
for you, of course, not just like the simple thing
of like I was responding to a subpoena. Okay, I
did not initiate any of this. I was dragged into it.
(10:55):
But because I am fighting this, thankfully not in New York.
I'm fighting it in Las Vegas, which is the appropriate forum.
They had to open up a new file as a
miscellaneous filing, and I have to pay for that fifty
two dollars, which is not that much money. But still,
even having to spend a single dollar on this, it
makes me upset and I don't know why, Like I can't.
(11:19):
I couldn't pay online, like I had to send them
a check or a money order, And after all the
fucking time I spent on this, I was not gonna
mail it. I'm not going to mail them a checker
money order, even if it is FedEx or whatever like
signature required, Like I'm fucking hand. This is one of
the good things about Vegas. I live fifteen minutes from
the courthouse. Like, everything is fifteen to twenty minutes in Vegas.
(11:40):
So I'm like, I'm just gonna fucking go there. And
it paid off to go there doing it in person
because the clerk was very helpful and was able to
literally open up even though I had mailed it by email.
I had emailed my filing a few days prior. They're like, oh,
we can't accept this until you pay. I'm like, okay, fine,
I'm going to go in person and pay. He was
able to open it that same day, and then, Oh
(12:02):
my god. I don't think I've said this anywhere. This
is an exclusive. I sent the fucking judge in New
York the saltiest email.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
No you said that on our patreoon?
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Did I?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I thought I sent that to her legal team.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
No, no, you was about the judge because of the gaslighting,
and yeah, you told us this on the Patreon on Thursday.
Oh tell everybody else that doesn't listen. I guess that's
like a tenth of the audience.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I sent that on Thursday, but then he didn't add
it to the docket, so I'm like, well, uh, maybe
I sent the wrong information, so there's an update. Then
on Saturday, I sent the judge another letter because I'm like,
I want this motherfucker to put this on the docket.
I wanted to be out there for public consumption, and
I just basically said, I don't even I'm not even
(12:46):
gonna look it up. But I said, I'm so thankful
that this will be litigated in Las Vegas and not
in your court, where you have shown a history of bias,
and I don't believe you would be able to handle
this fairly.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You might want to hire a lawyer before you end
up in jail. In jail for what for being a dickhead?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
In the words listen up, In the words of Ryan
Reynolds himself, you can't get sued for hurt feelings. He
said that, Okay, whatever. So that's the latest on that.
Jesus Christ literally Jesus Christ literally, Oh my god, I
got such fomo after seeing all my friends and what
(13:26):
seemed like every gay in Los Angeles over the weekend,
go to the Hollywood Bowl to see Cynthia Arribo in
Jesus Christ Superstar. I'm taking it you did not go
to that. No, it looks so good. Oh, she is
just a force of nature, and I'm talking about it
because well I can. And also we talked about the
initial casting and there was all this drama over a
(13:48):
woman playing Jesus Christ and blah blah blah. Well those
folks did not have to go, and the ones that
did go, what a treat they were in for. Although, God,
I'd be a little upset about this or don't even
know how it would feel. So Josh Gadd was cast,
and then at the beginning of the week or middle
of the week, he announced that he had COVID. People
(14:08):
are still getting COVID and he had to drop out.
And then the Hollywood Bowl announced that they were replacing him,
and they replaced him at the last minute with John Stamos.
Did you see this?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I saw the pictures of him and I was like,
what does he have to do with this?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
And there it is, okay, no, no, no, But then
it gets even crazier. So it gets crazier. For two reasons.
John Stamos replaced Josh Gadd. He had just twenty four
hours to learn everything. And then Josh Gadd got better,
quickly stopped testing positive and went in the show on Saturday,
and poor John Stamos learned everything to just do it.
(14:45):
Once I would be a little salty about that. I'm like,
I went through all this work. Why couldn't they both
do it and do something different? They could sing it
as a duet or something. I don't fucking know, right,
but I do love Josh gadd I think that's really cool.
In more music related news, we also talked about this
and you know what, I actually love being wrong. We
(15:07):
talked about Chapel Roan recording and releasing a version of
a song that she'd been doing live for like a year.
It's called The Subway. It finally came out. She released
a music video as well, and I fucking love the
music video and the recorded version is a hundred times
better than the live version.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Well, it usually is.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It's just very unusual to do it in this order.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I don't know. Bands all the time go out and
perform things on the road and fans know about it
and they're like what is this and they're like, yeah,
we haven't released it yet. I mean I see that
pretty often.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Well, I love it the Subway, But you know what
I love even more. Demi Lovado released a new song
called Fast and I love it. I'm so here you've
heard it? Yeah, you liked it.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, I like it. It's a little messy. The thing
about it, the thing that bothers me is it could
be anybody. It literally it's so autotuned when clearly Demi
Levado does not need it. That girl can fucking sing
her face off. There's no denying that. But it literally
could be anybody. And the production is a little too
choppy in some parts.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I would say clean it up a little bit. But overall,
if I was to compare it to ninety percent of
the music out there or any of the other artists
we talk about, it's just as good. So I only
heard it once and even on one list, and I
was like, this is good. But my note is it
doesn't sound like Emmi Levado. It's like Ed Sharon doing
pop music or doing like dance music. I'm like, this
(16:34):
could be Justin Bieber, could be anybody. It doesn't sound
like Ed Sharon's not a bad thing. It's just for me.
She is such an identifiable sound. I don't hear that.
But it's a very good club. It's like any Z
song or Calvin Harris song. It could have been anybody
on it though. That's the only thing with it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
For me, well, a couple of things. I can appreciate
something as it is. I'm a pop girlie. If it's like,
I'm happy with a B. But actually I think this
is an A minus. I think this is more than
a B. Like, I genuinely love the song, and I
think the problem that some people have is it was
clearly heavily influenced by Charlie XCX. She's in her brat era.
(17:18):
Even the music video, like, have you seen the music video?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I didn't see that now.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
The music video is almost like a copy of Charlie
XCX's guest music video with Billie Eilish, Like they both
are filmed in the Universal lot. It's like it could
be like a part two. So I get it. It
lacks a bit of identity, but I don't give a fuck.
It's a great song more than a good song. I
really can't stop listening to it. It made me happy.
(17:46):
And you get to remember she's also fucking way deep
into her career. DEMI began like in the early like
the mid two thousands, like two thousand and eight, you know,
so almost twenty years later to still be releasing music
and getting some attention. Yeah, I predict it's gonna flop.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I wouldn't say flop. It's gonna get some play, and
it might have a little legs to it.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Oh please. I don't even think it'll debut in the
hot one. Maybe it'll dibute in the bottom half. I
say this as a fan of Demi and somebody who
loves the song. The likelihood of this debuting in the
top fifty of the Billboard Hot one hundred slim to.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
None, okay, I would say it's gonna debut somewhere in
the thirties.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Well, that would be great. I would love that.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
It's already on the radio.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It is.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
That's half the battle. That's where I heard it.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh good, I love that.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I think you're under selling what it could be because
to your point, it is the sound of today. And
you make a really good point. You know, someone of
her age like Katy Perry's trying to do like a dancer,
whatever that last record was, it didn't work for her.
I don't have a problem with her not sounding like Demi.
I don't. But the thing is, it's just so generic.
(18:52):
But it's good generic.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah, I don't mind generic.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I don't mind it either. It comes zero percent mad
at it. And I guess to your point, if she
did do too much of the Demi Levado what she
used to sound like sound, it would sound dated. So
she did what she could do. But my problems are
still a little bit. The production's a little messy.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
That it was intentionally messy.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I think it could have been cleaned up just a
little bit. There's there's too much going on in some
parts of the song. But I'm with you at the
end of the day, if you ask me if it's good,
my answer would be yes.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Well, I like the messiness of it all. I'm excited
to hear more from her. Congratulations. Demi Levado. Also a
Patreon supporter, asked us for our thoughts on Lollapalooza, and Wow,
a lot of it didn't make it to my feed,
which is interesting. It's like, was Lala really boring this year?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I kind of feel like it did not have its
Chapel Roone moments.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Yeah, I mean I did see some things, but like
it wasn't like wow, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Right, Weezer joining Olivia Rodriguo snore. I mean, let's be honest,
that was not like a moment you were like wow,
these guys are great together. It was Weezer with her
doing like some vocals. It really wasn't that good. You know,
bands like Corn coming back. I thought that that was cool.
I saw some of that time.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I didn't even hear about that.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, Corn was out there. I'm trying to think of
what else I saw from it that I thought, Oh
Joe doing in the beginning back to Shika go, you know,
seeing him do that like three years removed from the
first time he did it at Lollapalooza and seeing the
enormous crowd join him for that. I love that kid.
He's the nicest kid. I've interviewed him twice now and
(20:27):
I root for Joe a lot. And Stranger Things is
coming back. I'm excited that is that his artist named
Joe Djoh and he goes by Joe Oh dj Oh.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, and he's the guy from Stranger Things.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Hey, no, no, no, we talked about this. We talked
about this one.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And there's another couple of musicians that are on that
show that are making music as well. Stranger Things Ethan
Hawk's daughter Mia Hawk. She's got music out she does. Yeah,
it's fucking pretty good too.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And there's another kid one like the nerdiest kid. He
also meant not the nerdiest nerdiest, not the ones with
the braces, but the one of the other ones that
then little kid he's got music out, which isn't bad.
So they're all kind of in the music scene.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Wow. Cool, Yeah, I gotta check it out.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I did see a little bit of and actually I'm
glad we're talking about this. This is a public service
announcement to all the pop girlies. Please just spend a
little more money, stop using backing track and hire backing vocalists.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Please, what do you mean it?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Like Lalla Poloza, There was this one clip that started
going viral. I think Rolling Stone posted it of Sabrina
Carpenter singing Espresso, her biggest hit, and I just hate feeling,
like God, this sounds like it's in this fucking studio.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
The plug and play. I saw that too.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, like, have live background vocalists. I get it. Her
chorus barely hear her. You hear her very well in
the verses, and that's fine. Have live background singers like
they used to back in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Bring that back, please, well to your point, I get
it when you're in the beginning levels because it costs money.
It costs a lot of money to bring three four
people out on the road with you and putting them
up and feeding them and everything ensuring them and blah
blah blah. Cost a lot of money. But Sabrina Carpenter
doesn't have that problem. Yeah, she's doing you know, three
nights at Crypto here, you know what I mean. Like,
she's at the level where she should have it. And
(22:19):
I remember like little bands, even like the nineteen seventy
five when they were coming up on that level of
getting big, they added a couple of girls on the
tour with them. Now it's a whole you know, it's
five hundred fucking people are up there. But when you
can afford it, invest in yourself to your point, you should.
It just makes for a better show.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And I know how shit works. And then it's like
that fucking video. Oh she's lipsticky, lipstick. You're like, I'm like,
oh God, it's just there's no need. There's just no need.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I saw that.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
What else did I see?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I saw Doci, I saw Doci's crowd, but I didn't
really see any of her performance.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
That one girl group from that one Netflix show KATSI
that came across me, Like, I don't know any of their.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I only know them because Kiss FM, our radio station
here in Los Angeles. They're very into K pop and
they break a lot of those artists, and they were
up at the State. I mean, you've never seen there
was five hundred people in that group. I think we
try to walk into the station. There's throngs of these
Asian kids out front. So they have this massive K
pop following. But to me, it's just a lot of cheerleading.
(23:23):
It's hard for me to fish the talent out of that.
I could still find the talent in Spice Girls. If
we're talking, you know, a group with five people, I
could still identify it with that music. I just I'm like,
this is all studio and choreographed dance teams, you know,
So I don't really get that.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Actually I didn't even write this down, but since you
talked about talent just now, everybody needs to listen to
this one duo that I'm obsessed with. They just also
released a new song on Friday called Sophie and It's
so good. Alternative pop eighties Cynthia Do you play Cynthia Pop? Eighties.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Oh yeah, god, we played Joe Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Oh my god. This song is called Sophie by the
band Halt and Freddy Haute and Freddy Hot and Freddy. Okay,
check it out. Sophie's the song that just came out,
all right. And other music related news, a Patreon supporter
let me know that reports are that Rihanna is going
to be doing a residency next year in London.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Bullshit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, I was about to say that. I was like, oh,
I'll believe it if it happens.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
There's a new Rihanna rumor every week. Okay. I heard
she's going to drop a new one. I heard she's
going to do this. You know. The only one that
came to fruition was the super Bowl. That's the only one.
And I think she only did that so she could
keep her name relevant in her vent the brand. Top
of mind, I don't see her doing anything music in
a venue for any amount of time. I just don't
(24:49):
see it. I don't unless that husband's got her reinvigorated
in music and she wants to do it. I think
she's done. I think she's a mom and she's a CEO,
and I think that's what she wants to be. I
don't see, but maybe we'll always just say maybe with Rihanna.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Well they're not married, and I actually just see her
having a fourth child. Yeah, whatever whatever makes.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Her I got married. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No. No, Also, you know what, God, this is a
good segue too to our next topic. This is the
bridge over troubled Water. Literally whatever, it's not a big deal.
It's obviously intentional. Like I was like, is this gonna
get anybody in trouble? But no, it's a fucking press release.
But I got a press release about a residency that
(25:29):
Sam Smith is doing in New York City starting in October,
I believe, and it just got extended. Sam Smith is
doing like two months worth of shows October, November, December.
And the press release, not once from his own record label,
from Sam Smith's own record label, from their own record label,
(25:52):
never referred to Sam as they then or there and
Sam Smith goes by, they then pronounce not he him,
And I thought that was very telling and very interesting.
I don't think it's disrespectful or a disc but then
I also think it's like, Okay, that's how the label
wants to handle things. I would also think I don't know.
You might know this more if you're a superstar artist,
(26:14):
are you looking at every press release that your label
is sending or not?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Zero. I think they're so out of touch with things
like that. I don't even think they care.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Well for something that Sam Smith might care about.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Well, let's back up. Your label wouldn't put that out,
your management would.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
No, it was from the label.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That typically comes from management first, like you would send
it to the label. The label no longer pisses without permission.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Let me Sam Smith.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
No, no, no. But that's the point. The labels are useless
at this point. You know, they're told what they're going
to do or what they're going to push out. They
don't do anything independently.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
It came out it was an email from the label
from Universal Music.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Okay, what the marching orders of the whole thing came
from Sam's people first. Is how it's done now, So okay,
I don't think there's any unless somebody fumbled it, you know,
which could happen.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
The big takeaway is they're sanitizing it of like any
they them reference and it's like, well, Sam Smith proudly
goes by they them, Why are you sanitizing it of
that Why are you scrubbing it of what of his
of their identity? Yeah, I found that interesting. I think
we're going through an era of anti day them, which
I've never really been down with theay then honestly, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, I think them is stupid. I always will think
it's stupid. You're not more than one person.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Not even the grammar of it all. It's just like
it to me, I've said it before. I think it's
just so elitist, so snobby. I really believe there unless
you were born what's that one.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Term when you have both sets of genitals, Yeah, when
you're a hermaphrodite.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Or something, And I don't think that's the term.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Maybe that's hermaphrodites have both sets of organs. Now, yeah,
if you got both of them, I'll call you whatever
you want. How about that? You got to whip it
out and show me too, hey, or whip them out
and show me.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
On our Patreon show, which you guys should sign up
for Patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton. I think it
was on there that we talked about Sydney Sweeney, right
and the ad Indeed, so Sydney Sweeney last week got
a lot of people talking for this new genes ad
and now people are I wouldn't I guess this is public.
(28:20):
I wouldn't necessarily say it's doxing her, but it's gone
super viral. The fact that Sydney Sweeney, we might have
even talked a couple a year ago or so that
she moved to Florida and about a really expensive, like
real like she did this in twenty twenty four. She
bought like an over ten million dollar home. I'm like,
she was making that much money back then to be able.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
To use We've done a great job of owning everything.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
So yeah, she bought this like huge home in Florida.
And now she's gone viral because she when she moved
to Florida, she registered as a Republican. And this is
like gotten everybody talking. And I'm like, I don't give
a fuck. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Half of the country's Republican. Who cares.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
But now even yesterday or maybe this morning, I don't know,
it might have been this morning, fucking Donald Trump was
on with Truth Socialing talking about it on his platform,
about Sydney Sweeney being a registered Republican and oh he
loves the fucking commercial OA like, oh god, but I
find it odd that we're trying to, like, I don't know,
(29:24):
shame her or or expose her like I don't think
she gives a fuck out. In fact, I kind of
like her now and like her response to it. She
instead of addressing it, she posted video of herself at
the gun range. She's like, Yeah, this is who I am,
and I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I like their content From years ago, when she was
working on muscle cars, she got really into restoring old cars.
I had no idea, and I thought that was really awesome.
I mean, I really think you know, I loved Euphoria
number one, but she really got on my Hey, I
kind of liked this girl radar from that from something
so simple, because I love muscle cars myself, so you know,
(30:03):
seeing her do that as like, oh, this is cool.
This is like a different gear that I'm used to
seeing from you know, the Hollywood girl. And just because
you're a Republican doesn't necessarily mean you're a maga Republican.
Republican Party will move away from that eventually, mark my words.
That boat has already started a sail, So I don't care.
I don't care one bit. I still have no idea
(30:24):
what the uproar is about the commercial. I've watched it
five times. I don't get it. I don't understand it.
I think they've done a brilliant job of marketing nothing
a hot girl in some jeens. That's been happening for years.
I just don't get it.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Well, people are saying na seeing races life.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah, Well, I don't believe people are saying anything. I
believe that the Internet and the bots and things are
now being programmed to say the opposite, and the press
is usually reporting on bots. It's not even reporting on
real people.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Crazy. No, I'm not, Yes, you are.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The facts are completely out there for that there. Absolutely,
it's just post and you'll see people, and then you
click on the thing and the thing has no followers.
You're like, it's a bot.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
It's paying from now on. Anytime somebody leaves a negative
comment on my post, you're just a bot.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Well, I'm not saying all of them are. There's a
faction of stupid fucking people out there too that can't
think for themselves and just follow along with whatever other
people post. I wish those people would spend some time
educating themselves on anything because the world would be a
better place.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Well, I'm not a believer in all these bots personally.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Well, mostly it's bots. Nobody. The point is nobody cares.
You know, people care about the price of stakes. That's
what they care about. I went to Costco this weekend.
I bought four stakes. They were eighty fucking dollars. The
price of meat has never been higher.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Well, I was actually looking at something over the weekend
where somebody was like, Donald Trump put such a high
tariff on Brazil even though we don't have a trade
deficit with Brazil. We have a trade surplus with Brazil.
We export more than we import.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Nothing makes any sense. It's just a tax. People stop
saying tariff. We're taxing ourselves. Every time you see a
report that says we made three billion dollars, No we didn't.
We spent three billion more dollars. That's all we did.
It's a tax. Eh, whatever, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Well, speaking of wokeness and everything happening right now, a
lot of people are celebrating the end of Sex and
the City's reboot, and just like that, after three seasons,
it was just announced that the show is going to
be wrapping up, and a lot of people like the
New York Post the la oh, go woke, go broke.
(32:44):
I can't really comment because I didn't watch end just
like that, but from the clips that I saw, it
made me feel good, like if I watched It almost
reminds me of the Demi Levado song. Right, It's like
I can enjoy something without having be the best thing ever. Right,
last I mentioned that I went to go see Superman
on the Patreon show and it wasn't the best superhero
(33:05):
film ever. It was a bee but it was still enjoyable.
I don't regret having gone. I wish it was better,
but it wasn't the worst thing. And I feel like
from all the clips and from everybody, all the gays
that I've talked about, it's like, yeah, that's how and
just like that was. But I don't think it had
anything to do with it being woke. It just wasn't
as good as the original series.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Rice because you can't recapture the youth of those four women.
That's the thing. It's just different, you know, it's a comfortability.
It's almost like Gray's anatomy, because that show, as good
as it was when everybody was young and hot and
mix steem me and McDreamy and you know, Ellen Pompeo
and probably not. But it's comfortable for people. It's like
soap operas. They just keep watching and yeah, the masses
(33:46):
fall off, But that doesn't mean it's not good. It's
just comfort food. Yeah, and ex exactly right.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
And I love comfort food.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Rice. That is my comfort food. My sister before she
came here, she was in Miami for a bit and
she took my niece to have one of my favorite
Cuban dishes. It's called Ross Imperial. It's yellow rice with
chicken and then like on top, it's like a layer
(34:16):
of mayonnaise and then melted cheese. And I just fucking
love it.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It sounds amazing so good. In New York, you got
the best Puerto Ricans and Cubans make the best rice dishes,
like just yeah, nobody can do it. And out here
it's all Mexican out here. I know, it's a different good. Yeah,
it's just to me. If you're gonna ask me which
one i'd rather have, give me that Puerto Rican rice
all day long. I mean that shit was money so good.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
The only good Cuban food in Los Angeles is Porto's Bakery. Yeah,
and they make so much money. Yeah, all right, it's TBD,
but I don't think it's as real. There are rumors
that Dion Sanders and Carushi Tran are dating. He also
recently revealed that he had cancer, and he's now cancer free.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
He had his bladder removed.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I know, pretty bunkers if it is true that they're dating.
You know, he's fifty seven years old and Carushi's thirty seven.
Never had kids that I am aware of, so I
would not want to be having a child in my
sixties personally. Even if I had nanny's I still wouldn't
want it. You know. Part of having the child is
(35:24):
like doing all this shit, like going to Monster Jam.
If I'm fucking falling asleep at Monster Jam at forty seven,
like I'm going to be like my mom. It's like,
oh my god, I have to go to this place.
I have to like walk down all these stairs to
get to our seats, my knees her, you know whatever,
like all that shit, Like oh god, all right, before
we take some calls very quickly a shout out to
(35:46):
a friend of ours and alleged listener of.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
Our podcast, now no she listens.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Congratulations to Shirley Halper and she was just named co
editor in chief of Rolling Stone, the first ever female
editor in chief of Rolling Stone. Very proud of her,
and hopefully she can revitalize I mean they're doing okay
on social digital.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah, hopefully they'll get a new sort of juice feel
or juice. Yeah, some juice, some reinvigoration. But Peresna, I
don't know how long you've known her. I've known her
for twenty five years probably, yeah, maybe longer. I've known
her for such a long time, and she's one of
those people that I can honestly say she's actually helped
(36:32):
my career. There's a lot of people that are like, yeah,
I know Booker or whatever that haven't really done shit.
She's actually done a lot for me. And I always
show up for Shirley. If she wants me anywhere, I'm
there with a suit on. So's she's the best. So
congratulations Shirley, well deserved, and I'm looking forward to seeing
how she puts her imprint on Rolling Stone.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah. I think they need to do actually well, if
she is listening, I think they need to do programming
not just sharing clips on social, but like start launching
their Rolling Stone branded shows for social.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Right, you get two idiots like us talking about music.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
No, not even us. I mean I was fine with
us because that seems like you're just saying it just
for us. Like I know, I really think it's a
good idea for their brand, even if.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
It's not a great idea for their brand. It's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
I don't know about that. You know, YouTube has had
the biggest comeback. It's all about YouTube. Create long form
content for YouTube and then also chop it up for
all the other platforms to make it shorter.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
I mean, that's what a lot of podcasts did.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Yeah, yeah, all right, let's take some calls hellove what
and poker Carolyn here a long time? Was there here
in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
So a couple of.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Things this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
So I did watch Happy.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Kill War two. It actually was a pretty good movie.
I had really low expectations, like low NTY level, but actually.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
It was really good.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
Now I will say that I was kilt, of course
he was in it, and oh boys, that is real
part for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Maybe guys, I am a Patreon subscriber now, thank you, So.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I watched Happy Gilmour this weekend. Well, I attempted to
watch Happy Gilmore this weekend, and it's a very cute
movie right up until the point when Travis Kelcey appears,
and that's when it starts to take a turn for stupid.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
I did see a clip and you get like fucking
honey poured over.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, it's dumb. It's just dumb, but you expect it
to be dumb. But I didn't think he was bad.
I really didn't. But the movie turned about the second
he appeared, and I gotta say bad Bunny can fuck
it act. I mean, he is very, very good and
very likable, but the movie is utter shit from about
the point when Travis appears and this whole other secondary
(38:51):
golf league starts to form. It's silly at that point
and I couldn't finish it from there. But the very
first i'd say, the first like thirty five minutes of it,
I would say, is very cute. But it fell apart
after that, at least, I think, because I couldn't take anymore.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Well, it's still good. Look for him.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
It is one more call here. Hi ferez Hi kras
ynam Is Chelaine, I am from Boston, And my question for.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
You guys is Miley Cyrus not too long ago did
an interview going through her every album that he did,
and you might have touched upon it, but I wanted
to know what.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Your thoughts were the fact that her least favorite album
happens to be Classic Carts.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
And I don't know how you feel about the Plastic
Arts album, but a lot of for Miley Cyrus fans, I'm.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
One of them, we find that Classic Arts was one
of her best albums that she put out.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Like overall, and didn't just have one song. It has
quite a few hits. So I just want to know
what he's not doing anything. It's really strange that the
one album, oh wows, No, I do not like it,
doesn't even really want to talk about it. I think
the reason that she didn't like it was be because
it was like right after the end of her marriage.
If I remember, I didn't watch that whole interview, but
(40:06):
I think I watched a clip, So I don't necessarily
think it's because of the music of the music.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, it's where she was in life at that moment
and probably telling those stories, maybe we're a little painful
and maybe it's kind of hard to listen to that
part of your life.
Speaker 3 (40:22):
But obviously everybody knows objectively, this is not even open
to debate. The worst Miley Cyrus album of all time
is that Dead Pets album that sucked.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I listened to it once. It's all I needed. All right,
let's wrap that up.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Thank you all for the support. Hope to see some
of you at patreon dot com slash Perez Hilton for
our show on Thursday.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Take care, everybody,
