Phpat and one and only.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Perez Gilt.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Guys, welcome to the PHP Booker here Forerez there, how
do you do?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh man?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
A lot of Taylor Swift fans are upset at me.
I'll share why coming up. Also, you may not have
heard the latest scandal with Cardi b plus some very
sad James Vanderbeek news which may be even sadder. Also
the latest on Jimmy Kimmel, a big development from the
(00:45):
singer Pink. I don't believe this adele item, but perhaps
it's true.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
We'll get to that and more.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
And also talking one of my faves, Tate McCrae. Let's
start right there. You were in Vegas this weekend for
the iHeart Festival. You saw Tate McCrae. You texted me
that you were unimpressed.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, ah, what It's the songs. I can't put it
any other way. I love the songs, maximum effort. And
there's just a lot of people standing there watching her.
She's Britney light. And what made Brittany was the songs.
The songs were great.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I like the songs,
but they're not smashes, right, and that's fine. They don't
have to be straight out the gate. I think she's
getting it right. I understand why people are making the
Britney comparisons. But Brittany is a bit of a unicorn.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, she's an anomaly in that.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I wouldn't say she got lucky, but she had huge
success straight out the gate and it was at the
end of the nineties when it was a different time.
I would actually say it's a little bit more comparable.
To compare Tate McCrae to Taylor Swift hear me out,
and also Benson Boone also.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's fine, but Taylor Swift, I don't know about that.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, no, no, hear me out. Benson Boone is onto his
second album now and is so talented, just like Tate McCrae,
and neither of them have had too many hits, unlike
you know, another unicorn, Rihanna Man. Rihanna came out the
Gate like she was releasing an album a year and
(02:25):
it was just so much. But Taylor had success, but
it was me. She was in the country world, and
that gave her the opportunity to grow and blossom in
her own pace, in her own lane, and those first
two or three tours before nineteen eighty nine, it was
(02:46):
me and fourteen year old girls, fifteen year old girls,
sixteen years It was like the youngest audience ever.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, that's me at the nineteen seventy five shows.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
And Tate McCrae and Benson Boone have that same audience.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They have really young girls.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, and what a gift that is because young girls
and gaze are the two most loyal audiences that you
can have.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah. Look, I would say this, she's on her way.
I think she's being by the way. It's not her fault,
but I think she's being propped up because of the
lack of other real things around her. There is the
uber like Sabrina Carpenter out there right now, that's kind
of the top of the mountain and there's not a
lot in the middle. So she's kind of been catapulted
(03:31):
into like the expectation like her, she shouldn't be headlining anything, Okay,
she shouldn't. She should be the opening act for something.
At this point, because I'll just fall back on what
I said. The music's just not that good. It's not
I mean, if you can like it, and I get
that it has a fan base, but I was looking around.
I think they're impressed by her effort, which I am too.
She's right where she should be. It's fine, but I
(03:54):
just wasn't. I was hoping to be blown away a
little more. Sabrina Carpenter caught me by surprise because I
wasn't expecting her to be as good as she was
when she put out that last album.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We don't. I don't even think we talked about her
that much.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Before, But that's my point, because we didn't need to yet.
She didn't deserve to be talked about yet. But right
now everyone's talking about this Tate McCray because there's nothing
else to talk about. It's my only point.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
What I was getting at is Sabrina was making music
for close to a decade right before she popped off
with Espresso.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Right, and I think the timing of her popping off
is deserved. After I heard the album with the hits
on it, I was like, please, please please, and Espresso,
I was like, she's got it. Tit. I've not heard,
first of all, vocal ability, haven't heard it be I
haven't heard it in the songs. I mean, you can't
tell me that diet pepsi or whatever. The fuck her
hit song is is anyway? Whatever, They're all the same,
(04:43):
is my point.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I love Addison Ray too.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You're right about the gays. I mean, there's a couple
of gay kids sitting behind me and they were just
dancing and just loving the shit out of it. So
you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And she's selling out Arena's.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, it's amazing the concert business right now. I think
I said this on another show. I've never seen it
like this in my life. I mean, Coachella, the first
two weekends have sold out. They've sold out already. I mean,
what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
So?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And that's I guess the power of Bieber and maybe
the power of Sabrina. But concerts are just experiences, is
where it's at. I guess.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Let me tell you who. I was really impressed by
the old guy, John Fogerty. The guy's like eighty. He's
out there performing with his two sons. He sounds exactly
like the Creaking Clearwater Revival days. It's you know, fortunate son.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I don't think I know any of those songs.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You would, It's like one of those things. When I
went in, I'm like, I think I only know one
John Fogerty song center Field. He didn't even play that
when it was hit after hit after classic rock anthem.
It was unbelievable, and the other guys were And I
didn't realize that Sammy Hagar is like in his seventies.
He's like seventy two now. You never know it. He
had Michael Anthony, the bassist of Van Halen and his band,
(05:52):
and this other great guitarist named Joe Satriani. His band
is like the tightest band. And you're looking at these
guys like, how the fuck are they this good? The
classic rockers really impressed me. And Brian Adams stole the night.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Oh Brian Adam, I need to see him. He does
shows the win every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Dude. He was so nice. I got to interview him.
I mean it was wild. I'm sitting there Van Hant like,
I got a picture of Eddie and me like sitting
right next to us. Van Halen is like one of
the most important.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Betty is dead. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I just said I have a picture of him sitting
Oh oh, I.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Thought you met you were talking about this past weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
No, no, no, no, no no. I was the biggest Van
Halen kid, you could imagine and and you know, I
worked with Dave in New York. Now I'm no Sammy.
I'm talking to Brian Adams. He was my very first concert.
If you would have told me as a kid that
I'd sit here and have access to all these fucking
people as an adult, I'd be like, get the fuck
out of here. It was fun. I had just a
fun weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I want access to Tate McCray. I'm all about her.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, honestly, I didn't even lay eyes on her other
than you know, seeing her show. I didn't see her
in the backstage or anything.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Oh well, you know what I got to see when
she's coming to Vegas. That would well, actually, you know what,
I'm not going to front. I don't think I'm ready
to go see her in concert yet. I don't know
if I like her enough yet to go see her.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I buy that because I don't know. You would love
the dancing, Yeah, she puts the effort in with She's
paying the money to have all of the dancers and
making it somewhat of a spectacle when some people might
cheap out her people whatever they're putting money into this,
you know like it wasn't terrible, and I don't want
to come off like it was terrible. I just it's
just everything comes down to the music with me, and
(07:31):
I just think the music just it's not quite there yet.
She's on no way.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I agree.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
That's why it's like there are all be songs with
some exceptions.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I had a fun weekend. I didn't do too much.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I did go to this one awesome food festival tasting
culinary experience called the Feast at the Wind.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
He invited me. Thank you. I do appreciate it. I
almost could make it, but I had the Sammy Hagar interviews,
so I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
But I was so I'm so grateful I was invited
because my tickets were six hundred.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
That gave you early entry for an hour and then
there's special VIP areas that you can sit and just
enjoy the food there, and then they get you got
like a really nice gift bag with a lot of
stuff like food and products like olive oil and it.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
It was really cool.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
So thank you to Polly and Elizabeth for inviting me
to that. All right, here's why some not even some,
A lot of Jesus God, you know what I've said
this before. I believe even if you like somebody, you
could still be critical.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I am, and you always have. Yeah, and honest, yes,
everything she has done, she's not without a few missteps, yeah,
or bad decisions, and that's fine. That's part of a career.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So I don't follow Taylor Swift on Instagram because if
you don't have your comments section open, I'm not going
to follow you. I don't want to just be served shit.
I want to be able to engage if I want to. Also,
there's only one person I follow that does not have
their comments section open. That's Britney Spears, and that's just
for like news.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
It does make sense you need to keep up on
top of what she's putting out there because it may
be newsworthy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Exactly, and she does post a lot anyways. So on
our Patreon show, we mentioned that Taylor was going to
be releasing this movie, and then the next day it
was announced.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I was like, you know, my sources were good.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Well, I saw that the news was announced, but because
I don't follow Taylor on Instagram, I didn't see exactly
what was being offered until I actually saw and came
across the post on Saturday. Okay, and if you don't
know what's being offered, what you can expect if you
(09:50):
go see the official release party of a Showgirl.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's what it's called.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Just the name that tells you a lot, right, So
here's the description that she shared Hereby invite you to
a dazzling soiree the Official Release Party of a Showgirl,
October third through the fifth, Only in cinemas, You'll get
to see the exclusive world premiere of the music video
(10:17):
for my new single, The Fate of Ophelia, along with
never before seen behind the scenes footage of how we
made it, cut by cut, explanations of what inspired this music,
and the brand new lyric videos from my new album,
The Life of a Showgirl. I'm hella underwhelmed. What the
(10:42):
fuck like lyric videos? You criticize her for this? What
I'm about to say, I, for the most part, applaud
her for her ambition and for her, you know, being
a great business person. However, this feels like a missed
opportunity and highly underwhelming. It basically just seems like a
(11:05):
money grab because she knows all these venues across the
country and the world are throwing Taylor Swift release parties,
and she wants to have an official one instead.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But honestly, I'd rather.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Fucking go to a venue like a club where it's
more set up to dancing and have fun and have
like a real fun night out. I'm not gonna be
dancing at the AMC theaters.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
They're not.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I mean some AMCs have cocktails, but most I don't
think most have cocktails.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, and I don't want to be around kids either.
I gotta be honest with you. I mean, even as
an adult, I don't want to be in there with
fourteen year old girls in the screaming and whatever. I'd
rather be in a club controlled environment everyone's over twenty
one at least that would be me though.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, exactly, this is my opinion.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Your point is always this. You know, if you're a
fan and you don't want to go, you don't have
to go exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Anyways, we know that she fills more than just the
songs when she did the Eras tour, and it would
have made sense that a documentary or in or like
a thirty minute docu or something else could have been
shown here because the Era's tour was the inspiration for
(12:18):
this album. She's told us when she was on the
podcast with Travis She recorded it while making while on
the road for the eras too fucking lyric and also like,
I'm personally excited about a track by track explanation, but
I want that after I've been able to digest the album,
after I have sat with it for a bunch and
(12:40):
played it over and over. Then I want her to
talk about the music in granular fashion like that, because
I know the songs very well.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Maybe she's just under selling this thing and it's more
than you think, you know, Maybe it's just a it's
better than it sounds. She's not trying to overhype it,
and it may actually be good. You know, you won't
know until you see it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
If you see it, I'm not gonna go see it,
are you now?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I could barely make it through the aerostour watching that
on TV. It was a lot. It's three hours of
a lot. So no.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, on the plus side, I'm surprised because we're getting
a little bit of promo. There is at this point
one confirmed interview. She's going to be appearing on the
Graham Norton Show in the UK, which leads me to
believe she'll probably do one show. She'll probably do Fallon
(13:36):
or maybe just Graham Norton will be her only thing.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And that's with other people too, right, that's not just Yeah,
it's a couch full of people.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yeah, he's gotten very interesting.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, I like that format.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I don't like that format.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh, I love it people interacting with one another. It's
always funny.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Eh, I'm not a fan of it.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But yeah, we're two weeks away, two and a half
weeks away to album release. I'm excited for that. Also,
Cardi B dropped her album and I've got the numbers
for you. You don't really care about numbers, but I care
about numbers.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Oh, it's an interesting gauge. I'd like to know what
it's where.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
She is one of my best dayes.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
John.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
He and I love to talk about music, and you
love to talk about charts and numbers. And he thinks
that this is very underwhelming. The early projections are that
Cardi will easily be at number one on the Billboard
Album chart, moving between one hundred and twenty five thousand
and one hundred and fifty thousand units, And he thinks
(14:32):
that's bad.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Now I think that's fucking great.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, me too, I think that's great because she
didn't have a fucking single hit on that album.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
On this album and the last album, she had a
huge hit.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Bodak Yellow was number one, and I think I like
it was released before the album came out also, and
that was a hit too, So it made sense that
her last album her only other album, which was also
and also she took a long ass time between albums.
That album came out twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
She's gonna have four kids in between.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
It was basically like seven ish years in between albums.
That one debuted with two hundred and fifty five thousand
album equivalent units its first week.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But like I said, that album had hits.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
If this album had hits leading up to the release,
it would have been a different story. Not everybody is
Taylor Swift, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well Taylor Swift. Doesn't Taylor Swift name a hit from
the last album. Album's plural. There wasn't one. Antihero is
a huge hit that wasn't on the last album.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
It was on the one before that. You said last
album's plural.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Albums because there were three albums worth of music is
what I was talking about, Like thirty three tracks. I
don't call that one album. I would call that plural album.
So yeah, I didn't mean like albums her cycle. Let's
just say she put out thirty three songs that there
wasn't a hit.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Also, Carti's involved in some drama with her baby daddy.
A lot of tongues are wagon. Rumor has it that
Stefan Diggs he's involved in a paternity suit over a
five month old baby. But we're now hearing that he
might also have fathered many more children with many other
(16:12):
women over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Okay, he had a good game this weekend. Not good
enough though, because my Steelers won.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I saw the Phillies. The Phillies won, the Eagles. The Eagles.
The Eagles they did.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
It was a dramatic come from behind.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
When yes, I thought, did the Chiefs end up playing?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
They did and they won. They did not look great.
They played the Giants in Sunday Night football last night.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But they won by a lot.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
They did, but it was sort of slop at the end.
To be honest, it was a lot closer than it
should have been. The Chiefs, they don't look very good
so far. Unimpressed.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Halsey's making a lot of headlines for an interview that
she gave with Apple Music. All Right, I like to
you know, I like to be honest. She says that
her label won't allow her to release a new album. Okay,
then don't fucking release it through your label. Like you
can put out new music independently.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Well maybe not. If you sign a contract with a label,
they have the rights of what you release. I mean,
that's part of them giving you a check. I don't
think you can just release things willy nilly without the
approval of your label when you've signed a contract with
your label. I think it's a lot to do with that,
and that tells me that the label doesn't feel that
the album's very good.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
She says, I'm not allowed to. She said The Great
Impersonator didn't perform the way they thought it would. It
sold one hundred thousand copies first week. That's a pretty
big first week.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It is.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
The tour is the highest selling tour of my career.
They want manic numbers from me. I can't do that
every time. It should be good enough. I do it
once in a while. I'm not a pop star anymore,
but I'm being compared to numbers and people that I
don't consider lateral to me, what would be considered a
(18:04):
success for most artists one hundred thousand albums first week
in an era where we don't sell physical music, with
no radio hit nothing, it's a failure in the context
of the kind of.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Success I've had previously. Well, yes, that is true. I
see both sides.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, I do too. It's look, she's an artist that
wants to put out what she wants to put out,
and the labels like this isn't it. But look my
experience with labels, they're all idiots, they're all people. Most
of them aren't musicians. They don't know what an audience wants.
They're just looking for hits. I just can't believe at
this point of her career she has this little power.
(18:44):
If that's indeed the case, that shocks me because she,
as she said, she's done this long enough. She's a
crude enough rope to hang herself with it if she
wants to. It's her career.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
But you know what I find interesting, perception matters. Let's think,
why is she not doing like festivals and like, Here's
what I'm trying to get at. For some reason, Lord
is viewed as cooler than Halsey.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, Lord's younger, not that much younger.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Lord is probably twenty five now, Lord is twenty eight
and Halsey's twenty.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Really they're only two years apart. Yeah, jeez, I guess
Lord's just been around longer than I thought.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Then, yeah, she has, well she started very young also, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's when I met her, when she was like seventeen.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, so I don't know. It's like I like Calsey.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I think Halsey's a chameleon. I mean the things that
she's put out in the different sounds that she's done
so successfully along the way. She really is an anomaly.
And she's so crazy talented in so many different regards,
from the way she looks and how she presents that
differently every time, to her artistic sensibilities, and you know
(19:57):
the fact that she'll put out her rock album that
a album has a power ballad that's her biggest song.
You know, she has a really interesting career. I would
want that career if I was an artist, because she
really has covered a lot of bases. It's a sexist thing.
You get a look for a while, then you're on
your way. You kind of do what you want to do.
Lord hasn't had a hit, and Lord knows how long,
you know what I mean? Like, She's put out a
(20:18):
lot of songs and none of them have really landed.
The whole last record nothing, So nothing from this record
so far has landed either.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
In other news, tonight, there is a big fundraiser for
James Vanderbeek in New York City, where the entire original
cast of Dawson's Creek is getting together to support him
and help raise money for him. He's battling stage three
(20:47):
coorectal cancer. However, yesterday James Vanderbeek shared the following on
his social media.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
He said, this is the.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Evening I'd been looking forward to most since my angel
Michelle Williams said she was putting it together way back
in January. So you can imagine how gutted I was
when two stomach viruses conspired to knock me out of
commission and keep me grounded at the worst possible moment.
(21:20):
Despite every effort, I won't get to be there. I
won't get to stand on that stage and thank every
soul in the theater for showing up for me and
against cancer. When I needed it most.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I think he's lying.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Why I think he's released. I think he might just
be really sick.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, he is really sick. He has stage three I know, cancer, Yeah,
you know, he's very sick. Yeah, and then he's got
a virus on top of it. He's like, you know,
for his health, he needs to stay home. He doesn't
need to be out running around. I mean, it's a
responsible decision.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
It worries me.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I'm just I think he might be even more sick
than he's leading on.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
You don't get much sicker than stage three. Calling answer.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
So he's sick, I know, but I think it's not
necessarily just because of the stomach virus. Why would he
lie because he I don't know, I'm thinking worst case scenario.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's already worst case scenario.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'm thinking, like he might be close to death, Like
I don't know, that's where my.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Brain is going.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
He may very well be, you know, I'm sure he
wants to be there. But you hope for the best
for this guy and give what you can. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I just I'm I'm I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but
I think.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I think he has a stomach virus and he can't go.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I hope it's that. I hope it's that.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
What's also crazy is I saw him giving interviews like
maybe a month or two ago, and he looked pretty
fucking healthy.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh god, I just I'm sad. It's sad. It's sad.
It's sad.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Cancer sucks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
However, for everybody that had bought tickets to the event
tonight where the entire cast of Dawson's Creek is going
to be reading the pilot episode, he does have an understudy,
Lynn Manuel Miranda.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Pretty cool. Ooh yeah, that's cool. Nice of him to
step in there. All right.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
An update on Jimmy Kimmel. This was clearly not a coincidence.
Kimmel was photographed by the paparazzi with security going to
visit his lawyers. How the fuck would the paparazzi know
who he was visiting in an office building if they
weren't told.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I would think, right, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yeah, otherwise they would not know. It'll be interesting to
see how this pans out.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
What heppened, I'll tell you how it pans out. He'll
be back on the air maybe next week, and this
will be the best thing that's ever happened for his
show in his career. That's how I see it.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Why do you think he'll be back on the air next.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Week, because there's no reason for him to be off.
This whole thing is silly. First of all, it's hurting
Hulu and Disney. I mean a lot of people are unsubscribing,
and it's a bad look when these big corporations calto
to this dictator all for money, and it's all about money.
It's sickening, and people are standing up against that. I
think they'll have him right back on the air if
(24:02):
he wants to go back. By the way, he may not.
He may be so pissed that he's like, you know what,
fuck this. My contract says that you can't take me
off for this, and you did so I'm bouncing and
you're paging me. And then he's going to sue the
administration and rightfully should because what the FCC chairperson said
is patently against the constitution. It's like they showed their
cards and you can't do that. So and be the
(24:23):
head of the FCC. But look, it's anything to not
be talking about those Epstein files, which everybody knows who's
in it. That's what's really going on. Every day you
get some new crazy shit. It's so we stop talking
about the Epstein files and people are not letting up
because it's his words. He's the one that promised it.
He should have done that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, because those two big
owners of the local affiliates were putting pressure on ABC.
So I'm not so confident that Kim will be back
on the air next week.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I think he'll be back.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
We'll see.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
But the good news is and why it's a you know,
it's definitely a possibility. But according to reports, his staff
is being paid at least through this week.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
They have no reason to take the staff off. They
didn't You didn't do anything wrong. He did nothing wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
No, but if the show's being on an indefinite hiatus,
you don't necessarily have to keep paying them.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
They have contracts and you know, work agreements, and anybody
that works on a show like that has a deal.
That's just standard.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I'm sure the agreements are for when the show's in production.
If the show's not in production, I don't think you
have to be paid.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
You signed for a certain amount of time, you signed
for a seasons. You got to be paid whether they
put on a show or not. That's just how contracts work.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
I don't know if that's how the contracts are. Might
just be at Will. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
It's ABC. It's a network show. It's not at Will.
Look if you were talking about some brinkydink cable TV show,
that's one thing. But this is ABC. They all have contracts,
trust me.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
All right, Well, I hope you're right. We will see.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
That funeral for Charlie Kirk was held over the weekend
and then Donald Trump was there, and oh god, I just.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Wish we had better leadership. I know that's not how
a leader behaves.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I hate my enemies like he could have used that
opportunity to try and bring some healing to America.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That's not his gear. No, the guy is one thing
and one thing only. He is a narcissist. It's always
about him. This thing was supposed to be about that
guy and his life and his word. Whether you agreed
with his words or not. People were there to celebrate them,
(26:39):
which is great and fine. He came in and took
a giant shit on it is what he did and
made it about himself once again. Everything's about him everything,
And I just love the people that follow him really
think that he has their best interests in mind. He's
incapable of having your best interests in mind. He's a
(26:59):
Narge subsist.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
In other news, Page six is reporting that Adele is
in negotiations to perform at the super Bowl halftime show
in February.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I don't like Adele.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You're right. It doesn't have a lot of like fun
to it. It's a party at halftime.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I mean, Adele would be great to perform at the
Olympics opening ceremony or the Olympics closing ceremony, but not
the fucking super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
All right, Well think about it for a second. The
whole world in Unison will be singing hello, which is fun.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, that's great for the for the Olympics, at the
super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And I I weirdly like it. I don't hate it,
I really don't. I think it'll be more energetic than
you think it will be. I don't think it'll be
Debbie Downer ballad city and boring. I think she'll bring
something to it that could be interesting. I'd still rather
see Metallica. But you know, shit in one hand and
wish in the other, see which one fills up first.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
It'll be really interesting.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Because also I don't even like I just don't understand
why Adele would want to do it.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Now, that's a good question. I like that because she's
not American.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, but why It's not like she's going to release
new music. She takes suck in five years between albums, like.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
What it's a fucking party, lap show.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
But going back to like, why would she even do it?
I don't think she's She doesn't seem like the kind.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Of artist that's willing to do what every other artist does.
Meaning for example, I feel like Adele might just do
three songs and that's it. Artists have to do abridged
versions like Medley's, like two minutes of this song, a
minute of this. I feel like Adele would do three
four minute songs and call it a day. Yeah, that's
all the time you get, like twelve thirteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I don't know. I'm intrigued.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I mean, I love it, Dell, I just don't know
if it makes sense, and I don't. I don't think
it makes sense.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I feel you because I would rather have party music. Myself,
I would rather have like Pink.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I like the whole dre thing what they did with
a bunch of different artists coming out there. That was
just the West Coast. That was fun.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I was sort of gonna say that, but in a
different thing, like it could be interesting to have like
the five biggest DJs of all time, like David Getta,
Calvin Harris, you know, Tiesto, whomever, like those, Diplo, have
those five guys come out and then the biggest singers
that they've worked with come out and do the song each.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That would be very cool. Have Zed out there with
the YEA hits that he's created. I mean, that's cool.
I should go back to the festival for a second.
I would say the person that did the best was Diplo.
He's based pretty much in Vegas because he's always played there.
But the guy has that inate ability to really look
at any crowd and say this is what they want,
(29:51):
and he really like brought a party. It was fun
as compared to like the DJ duo Justice, who just
kind of did their own thing. Not as energetic as Diplo.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Different music too.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Different music for sure, different gears.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Yeah, I love justice.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
If you could go to Central Casting and like cast hipsters, right,
what you think two DJs would be? Those two would
pop out. Yeah, they're very dry and they're so European.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Speaking of Pink, we just mentioned her briefly said you'd
like I would also love to see her do the
Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
This is so cool.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Pink just moved to New York City full time really
for her daughter, yes her, What a cool mom like
letting her daughter explore her passions and supporting in such
a major way, And what a change for I think
about a decade, Pink was living in California wine Country
(30:48):
in Santa Ynez. She made wine, she lived like on
a farm, and now she's living in New York City
because her daughter is passionate about Broadway and is going
to the Performing Arts High School. And she just started
as a freshman at the Performing Arts High School in
New York City.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
And the only reason I know this is because Hugh
Jackman announced it. Over the weekend, Pink performed with her
daughter at the Hugh Jackman Show at Radio City Music Hall,
and Pink told the crowd, I'd like to welcome Willow Hart,
who is a new freshman at the Performing Arts School
here and her mother whom you might know, it's pink
(31:26):
or whatever, you know, like pretty cool. She's originally from Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
She's a Philly girl, you know what.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Like if I had pink money, I'd fucking love to
move every five years or so.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
By the way you say move, I doubt she sold anything.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
No, no, no, not sold.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
She just bought a sick ass condo in New.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
York and it's just living there full time, living there,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
It's like being on vacation.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
But I'd love to, you know, live in New York
for five years. I'd love to go live in London
for five years. I'd love to live in Madrid for
five years.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I love London.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Speaking of London, Harry Styles, British superstar, competed at the
Berlin Marathon over the weekend. And the only reason I
shared this is because he finished the marathon in two
hours and fifty nine minutes. That means his average mile
was six minutes and fifty seconds.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Holy fuck, was it a half marathon or a marathonull marathon?
He's flying.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I know that's twenty.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Seven miles, Like I could barely do a mile and
twelve minutes. The fuck Jesus Christ impressive. Also by request
on our Patreon. We always take suggestions for things that
we should talk.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
About on this show.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Somebody wanted us to talk about that singer David and
the allegations around him.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
I hadn't been following that story.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
I have.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I don't care though.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, it is a pretty big story and it's kind
of getting a lot of headlines. This singer, this David kid.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I had never heard of him before. Did he have
a hit?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
He had a single that, you know, I think, did okay?
He's like one of those artists that debuts on the
chart and you're like, who the fuck is that? You
know what I mean? That spells his name with a
weird letter or number or something, You know what I mean.
The whole thing's real weird. This girl who's underage, her
body was found in his at a toe yard or something,
and it was the smell. And she's underage and fifteen.
(33:22):
I believe they both have the same tattoo that says
on their fingers.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And didn't he even he wrote a song about her too?
I think, well, there's that.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And then the mother had said that she was in
a relationship with some kid named David and he never
reported this car stolen. And it's a very weird story.
I mean, you know, you should be able to connect
the dots because usually when you think it's something, it's
something you know, and it seems like it's something. But
we'll let the courts and the investigators figure it out.
(33:53):
But it is a pretty wild story that has definitely
some traction here in LA anyhow.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yeah, also wild or sad somber news Alabama Barker, the
nineteen year old daughter of Travis Barker, in a now
deleted TikTok video, announced that she was pregnant but lost
the baby, and it.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Was sad about that all right.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Quickly wrapping things up, lightning the mood, Blake Lively posted
a bunch of pictures of her from Gossip Girl to
celebrate the show's eighteenth anniversary, which is hilarious because so
many of her Gossip Girl co stars don't follow her
on Instagram, and the rumor is they don't even like her.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So interesting move. Also, yet again, I've talked about this before.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I oftentimes I'm trying to think of why it doesn't
bother me. Oftentimes when celebrities boast or brag about how
expense how wealthy they are, it leaves like a sour
taste in my mouth. But when Paris Hilton does it,
I don't know, I kind of fucking expect that, you.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Well, I mean she's that's what she is, you know
what I mean. She's not a movie star. She's a
reality star, and she's known for being the Ken of
the Hilton. So I think, yeah, you expect it from her.
If Angelina Jolie did it, then it would be gross.
She's not Angelina Jolie. She's Paris fucking Hilton. She's a
kardash yet, I mean, that's what she is.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
So she we've already talked about her house. She's got
this new house and she she officially had a housewarming party,
which she basically turned into a mini Coachella. Like it
was like a fucking rave and festival and like rides
and like she has a club in her house and
like smoke.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Isn't she like forty more than forty?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Really?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Yeah, she's like forty forty four. I think, Wow, Paris Hilton,
let me see it now. He needs to know she's
forty four. I'm good. Yeah, yeah, she's forty four, all right,
you know what the fuck man? And like on Friday,
I fell down this hole of listening to new music.
People need taste makers to share. So here are my recommendations.
(36:10):
Five new songs that you should check out this week.
And Marie I love her, the British singer a song
called depressed but it actually makes me happy how and
Freddy this duo that's very like new wave.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Electro pop called Freaks. I love it.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Also Cardi B. The album's good, my favorite song. There
are the pop songs. I wish there were more pop songs,
and then there's like one Spanish language song that's awesome.
That's my favorite song called Bodega Battie, but it almost
feels like a fucking demo. It's my favorite song. And
it's literally a minute and forty four seconds. That's an interlude.
(36:47):
Back in the day, we would call that an interlude.
Now it's a fucking song. It's a minute and forty
four seconds.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
For a song.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
If there has to be two minutes, two minutes are long.
If it's less than two minutes, it's an interlude. Also,
this really cool like alt indie guy his name's Dry
d U r r Y. The song is called I
don't know, I just work here, super cool.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I really like that.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Also Dove Cameron, This one's not a hit, but I
just like it. And she's continuing to build a fan
base and eventually, when she gets the hits, it might
happen for her. The song is called whatever you Like.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I really like it.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
And my favorite new song, God, this woman is so
fucking talented, ferociously talented, and so different in her own
fucking lane.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Lola Young. The album is great.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
My favorite song is called fuck Everyone, so so good.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
She's great. She's British and snarky as fuck. I love her.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Check it out, all right, let's take a call or two.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
I am calling about Candice Omens. The is homophobic, anti
semi white, wanna be conspirity theorist. I don't know what's
wrong with her. It gets obsesso or something and jazz
golf o frail man, and I don't understand why. I
am conservative Republican and I see this as a crazy
(38:07):
bait cy person.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
People are nuts. She's nuts, but she's got a lot
of people with eyes on her now because she's got
these Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories that she has got everyone
in the whole with, and some of them kind of
make a little bit of sense. And she's definitely figured
out a lane. She's got a talent of finding a story.
So I'll give her.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
That I made a video about her.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Actually, maybe this call was in response to the video
that I made over the weekend. I made a video
and I said she's antisemitic, and I lost a lot
of followers for saying.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
That, but I fucking believe it.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Not because of what she says about the situation in Gaza,
that's separate, but what she's said about the Holocaust, what
she's said about Charlie Kirk's death. She thinks that Jewish
people are responsible for Charlie Kirk's death. She's a conspiracy
see theorist who pedals that bullshit and pirits harmful rhetoric
(39:06):
against Jewish people everywhere, and other conspiracy theories like that
bullshit about the fucking First Lady of France that was
just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, I don't know, it's like these people on the fringes.
It's like Charlie Kirk. I told you, I barely knew
who this guy was. I saw some of his things
come across my feed and I found most of it
to be repugnant that I saw for someone posing to
be a Christian. So I was like, Okay, that's not
for me, and I was kind of done with it.
Candice Owen is the same, Like she says some stuff
(39:37):
that I go that's repugnant, but people, I guess are
attracted to that, and they like conspiracy theories and all
this this heated talk. It's their online soap opera.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
It's so funny is that she's convinced people that she's
some kind of like truth saying, right, and it's like, no,
she's a fucking entertainer and she's pedling bullshit is what
she's peddling.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
She's good at it, Yes, exactly, She's an entertainer.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Yeah, absolutely, that's her talent, I guess.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
But one more call, all right, Hello Perez and Booker.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
So I just wanted to call and comment on your
story about Sarah Jeska Parker on the Patreon in wearing Headphones.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
So about ten.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Years ago, I went through a divorce and I would
find myself at the grocery store by myself for the
first time in a long time, and I remember the
first time I went grocery shopping, I was approached by
three different men in one grocery shop. And it's not
like I am drop dead, you know, I'm a good
(40:40):
six and a half. And I found that if I
wore my beats by Dre headphones to the grocery store,
I would stop being approached by these random men. And
so my personal experience, I started doing that and I
stopped getting approached. So that was something that I did.
And also this morning I heard Hote and Freddy on
(41:03):
my streaming service and it was something that Perez had
recommended a while back. Thank you Seat Guy is a
great song. And lastly, I'm the Patreon subscriber, longtime listener,
love you guys.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Wait cool, look at that.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
I even remember I even mentioned that same band today
with their new song Freaks.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
How about that.
Speaker 3 (41:20):
They're really good. I love them Hot and Freddy. Check
them out all right, Patreon, she's a subscriber. Please subscribe
to our Patreon if you can. Everybody's got a fucking
