You click, fade down away.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I know. Okay, this episode is going to be bad.
Let's just be real. This is gonna be shell pony
shell served by the sea shore shell pony. Okay, let's
just get the facts out of the way. Eric Maxwell
is joining me from our bedroom in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where
we are on It's not vacation because I have two
(01:01):
shows here and I'm working too, and you're working. We're working.
We're sharing a bed. Shout out to the Salt House
in for this amazing room. This place really is super nice.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
What a luxurious, spacious king bed and what a beautiful
large bathroom.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We've never shared a bed before, so this is gonna
be a new experience for us.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
And I have insomnia, do you really?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah? Okay, that'll be fun.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well, I have a chihuahua and you're gonna have to
sleep with her him them. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's Bear week.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Okay, We've had some amazing guests. Jeff Lewis Jesse from
Workout was last week and so I'm talking peaks and valleys.
Last week was one of the best episodes ever and
today will be even better. I'm gonna manifest it. But
I will say, as you can tell, I'm not even
gonna edit this. Whatever we do now is just gonna
go straight into the ether. I don't have time because
(01:56):
you and I, bitch have to get to tea.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We do.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So we we're in Fire Island last week, we're in Provincetown.
Now I have two shows here. A lot happened in
Fire Island. I got a Roman shower. Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it. It was an accident.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I learned what a Roman shower was me too.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I got an immersive lesson. Yeah. So we had a
lot of fun in Fire Island. We're just basically on
a gay rotunda of America.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, PV next week, Mikonos, the week after that at Cot,
the week after that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Ebcon.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I was at that opening of that what was it
called Masters of the Universe. Anyway, but because I want
to stay on schedule, I did manage to get up
this morning before my lift picked me up at the
Ace Hotel and drove me to JFK at six forty
five in the morning. I got up at six and
watched the last half of episode six of season two
of Workout, just to stay on schedule. And like I said,
(03:00):
we're relaxed, we're in bed. This is less structured than usual.
It's free flowing.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Fine because we're really freely flowing so talented. Yeah, but
I will say the show is losing me. I'm gonna
stick with it. But it's not that I'm bored. But
I never watched series like this. I did it because
the show Not to Brag is really taking off, and
you guys are really invested, and I'm doing such a
(03:28):
good job of diving so fucking deep.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh you're so deep.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
But there's a car driving by the window right now.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You're blocking our life on the road.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We are on the road, and we're also a block
from Scott's Cupcakes, Scott Scott shout them out, Scott's Cupcakes,
Scottie Cakes, Scotti Cakes. But like, imagine being a straight
person driving through Provincetown and like you peek in the window,
you expect to see two people doggy style ram rotting,
sounding like spitting in mouths.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And I'm with a towel my headwork and we're styling.
I'm not talking about Workout from two thousand and six.
I like it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'm fine with it.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, okay, so I'm just Eric also hasn't watched this episode.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I tried.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I got really seasick on the fairy. I took a
ferry here, and I was.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It was just too seasick to watch Workout. But he
wasn't too seasick to watch all of Lena Dunham's new show.
But that's okay, listen, I'm jealous. I don't. I'm going
to continue watching this show because I'm invested because I'm
so good at it, but I don't radical honesty. I
rather watch that. I rather watch that.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And I was saying, I.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Think Lena Dunham is this generation's Kirsty Ally.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
I mean, just.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Because fat actress, her show, Fat Actress, Kirsty Ally show,
you know that show, fat actress, and like the big bucksome,
like the wigs and the extensions, and she's just doing this. Okay,
maybe I will edit, Okay, edit, No, I know, is
(04:58):
that bad? Yes? Then I said she looks like cur'sy
ally because she's dead. All right, moving on, we're resetting.
I hope that you can see Pete in the shot eating.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
His whole as getting a head start.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Eating his absolute ass. So basically, Eric hasn't watched the episode,
so I'm going to tell him what happens, and in
turn tell you what happens.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
That's like the new format is that you just tell
someone who hasn't seen the episode what happens.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
It's oral tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
So this episode is the worst episode of the series.
It's boring, no offense. You know, it's episode six, so
it's like ramping up toward the finale. But it's not
the beginning. It's not the exciting. It's just kind of
like not a filler episode, but kind of we're back
to Jackie's fashion line. I turn Rebecca being burgeoning lovers.
(05:53):
I just feel like Rebecca is acting her tits off
on the show.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And just to recap from what you said to me,
her line, her clothing line is designed to go directly
from your hit class and then straight to the bar
where you can marinate your jock itch while you order
a lemon drop.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
If you want to drink an espresso martini and not
have to show doing in your own film swamp ass,
you need.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, you don't want to.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You want to go from the gym to cocktails. I
know that she thinks that that will be a great
thing to provide, but you don't. You don't want to
go from the gym to cocktail.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Now when I've.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Leaked a little bit after a Barry's boot Camp class,
the last thing I want to do is sit in
a lounge.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
And order a drink.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Anyway, my first note is the most exciting thing about
this episode is the next on at the end of
the episode.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The next episode.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, at the end, it's like next time on workout, Like, oh,
that looks really good because she goes to her dad's grave.
So the last episode, she takes all of the clients
who are struggling to lose a lot of weight, takes
them like Erica Arrowhead, and she devol divulges, well, one
of the volvas she did volves Rebecca right there in
(07:12):
front of everyone. She divulges Jackie divulges that her father
committed suicide. When she was eighteen, her father died by suicide,
and so did someone else in the group of clients. Pete,
are you okay? My dog is here on the beat
on the beach, on the beach. We're in the beach.
We were going to do this episode from the airplane,
(07:33):
from the sky lounge, from the ferry, and we just
I was denied entry to the sky lounge. I pay
so much money. I put all my money on that
Delta AMEX to get the Diamond status that I currently enjoy,
and God forbid, I have to take a short flight
forty minutes from New York to Boston, and I don't
(07:55):
want to pay six hundred dollars. I rather pay three,
So I buy a basic Economy even though I'm Diamond.
That's the ticket I bought. And they are punishing me
for having bought a cheap ticket. They look at the dog,
licking me down. They wouldn't let I have so many passes.
(08:15):
My entire account is filled with passes to get people
into the skylines that I never use. And I went
there and I go, hey, I'm going to use this
to get my friend in and they were like, yeah, well,
the ticket that you have you're on a your class
is not allowed is very titanic. Stop it. I'm sorry,
you have to stop licking me.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
That's the first time I've heard you say that.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
But I mean, did you see that?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Was it was like literally, I think it's a comfort thing.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
No, I know it is. He wants to be comforts,
like pacifying. I know you kissed that though. Ew Is
it a booger? Is it a poop? I don't know?
Oh my god, eat it and see. I know so,
But we're past it. We got to we made it
to Peetown. Should take this off my head. Yeah, they
(09:00):
get a secret early fairy. We got there two hours early,
and he's like, oh, we'll create a special fairy just
for you.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I was gonna take you to my favorite place in
Boston flower Bakery, but we'd have time.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
FAIRI is okay. So Jackie's dad committed suicide. They wrap
up the Arrowhead trip from last week. Jesse says there
are two Jesse's one when he's when he's drunk, he'll
tell you everything that he thinks, and he admits that bad.
Jesse came out with Rebecca, so they bury the hatchet.
(09:32):
He called her a slut. And a whore lest we
forgot Yeah, Jesse Clock's Jackie's scar Joe t I'm really
glad he says, you look like Scarlett Johanson's older sister.
One of the biggest storylines in this episode is that
Erica gets contacted by a celebrity lookalike agent because she
looks like Angelina Joe Lee and this whole thing is funny.
(09:54):
She's like, what do you mean, what like if you're
if you're so beautiful that someone thinks you look like
Angelina and Julie like.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
She does kind of kind of she's gorgeous. It's not
that it's literally just I don't know if I see it.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, they make her up to look like her, Okay,
but I think back then in two does and say
sound of them.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Maybe it's supposed to be like, wow, this is what
happens in La Cool Things, but it's a.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Who Erica and Angela and Julie they do. They make
her up to look like it.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
And my friend auditioned to be one of Kim Kay's
body doubles in college assort its body both.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Wow, hot friend, she's great. So that's kind of Erica's
storyline for this episode. And then she has a client
who works for Star magazine and her her client cries
about how stressed she is at her job and like
she can't be as dedicated to her workouts because Star
Magazine is so all encompassing.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
That's a thing.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I know, that's a thing. I'm sure any job can
be stressful, it just was, I don't know, crying at
the gym.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Never done it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I've cried on a Soul cycle bike.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh me too.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I'm not ashamed to admit that I've cried on a
Soul cycle bike.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
The eleven o'clock number, the second to last song cycle
go Home, supposed to be crying.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, yeah, more than once.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I think it's time to cry. The big log line
of the episode are the samples of Jackie's clothing line,
which are supposed to go again from Jim to from.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
The Saunaim to the met Ball Yes.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And everything in between. She thinks she gets her samples
from this guy who is so dusty, basic like Norm Coore.
Of course, of course he didn't do a good job.
He has zero personal style, no offense. Joe, I believe
his name is Joe.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Do you think he was an actor or that was
really his job.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think that he is in the apparel industry. Ok
So she's been near apparel. He's been in a Lululemons sure, okay,
or it didn't exist back then. This is pre Lululemon.
So her Jackie's samples come and she melts down. This
is not what I designed. And then she shows the
designs and she's like, look at this, and the designs
(12:15):
are like a bra with like a shredded rockstar mesh
here and then leather here, and like it's stuff that's
not ever going to be made, like no one is
actually going.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
So I want to work out in leather.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
It's like rockstar clothes, and they're cool looking on paper,
but of course when it comes, it's more like spandex
with a stripe on it. Like there, it's where it
is workout clothes. Anyway, she melts down. Rebecca is on
her side.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Do they look poorly made or they just don't look
like her vision?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They don't look like her vision, they look okay, they're ugly,
and she's going there's like a ticking clock in this episode.
She the samples have come just in time for her
big meeting in the fashion capital of the world. Seattle, Indianapolis. Okay,
and so she has to go to Indianapolis, because that's
(13:09):
what I think when I think pitching to a parel company.
She wears an outfit to this. If you were going
to go say you're hiring me for my name and
my style, y'all will take the functionality and make the
actual clothes you would you'd want to what, go to Talbot's,
you'd want to dress real nice?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Or Chico's dress hot, sure, cute style it Talbots and Chicos.
She is giving you like some sort of weird ass
suit Neapolitan colored chocolate strawberry vanilla, carrying the mass tie,
Jim carrying the mask ass bitch. Oh my god, Jackie,
we love you.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
But yeah, I think that has to do with your
disappointment too, is now that you've interviewed her, whereas.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Like where where to go from? But I wanted to.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Strike while they are and was hot? Yeah, if you
haven't watched that up, so go back and wats some one. Jackie,
You're gonna love this. She there is a crossover from
a Project Runway contestant with who Nick Varrius.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I love him, Yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So the girl that cried, who is for Star magazine
is going to go on the Oscar's red carpet, And
so they bring her to Nick and because she's now
lost fifteen pounds yay, yay, he pimps her out or
puts her new news dress whatever. At least back in Indianapolis,
Jackie confront Steve and is like, this is not what
(14:37):
I designed. These are not my designs, and he tries
to dance around the issue. She She's like, I don't
know how we're going to do this meeting when I
have no clothes to show, So she kind of stumbles.
It is actually pretty dramatic. She stumbles on her words,
and then in the middle of the meeting, the unthinkable
happens Steve. Steve's pager goes off.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Oh, I feel like I know what it is.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
No, that's its pager just goes off. He interupts the meeting.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
She's in the middle of speaking, and she's like, my
gym ware is going to go from the gym to
cocktails and it's like.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And she's like, Steve, I thought it was going to
be that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Like they were notified that someone died.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, Doug is hanging in the balance. So you're not
far off. On the next on you see that it
happens very sad. So the theme of this episode is
if you want something done right, you have to do
it yourself. It happens time and time again through this episode,
and she basically she even says it at one point
that she should design the clothes, she should make the clothes.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
If you want something done, you start doing it in
the gym, you stop for a little bit, and you
go to the bar, and then you finish it wearing
one outfit a sports bra and leather chap bike shorts
made of mesh assless.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Chaps at Cowboy Carter.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And then what happens is since she's in the Midwest,
what you know to pitch her clothing line, which the
people were responsive, They're like, yeah, well because basically she's
selling her name. It's like when a celebrity does anything,
they're like, you're a workout lady, We're gonna buy your
clothes because you're hot, sexy and on TV. Not because
(16:20):
she went to Fordham fit them what's it called f
I T f I T or like she didn't go
she's not in a fashions She could have gone to
either of those places. She could f t or Fordham
or Emerson, the Lions through Eric what you called I
did we're in bedtime yawning. It's not at all because
(16:42):
this episode's boring. Oh my god, I'm literally so excited.
So yeah, she's in Indianapolis and when you have just
flopped at your apparel meeting, what is the natural instinct
to do next? Go to talbots, go to your dad's grave, right,
(17:03):
So then we get to the next time and people
are sobbing, people are crying. There's a hot mal model
taking his clothes off in front of Jesse, and then.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Brian Peeler gets the call and starts sobbing. That dug
his past and he's.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Like, why are all the good ones dad? Something like that?
He talked like that, Yeah, like all the good people
are Dad something like that, which is start singing empty
chairs at empty tables. There's a grief that can't be spoken.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Would workout make a good musical?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Natalie geor Johnson will play Jackie. We've already thought about it.
Work Okay, yeah, okay, who can write the music? Pep
main Tar, sure, yeah? Or who's a lesbian?
Speaker 2 (17:46):

Lesbians love a Janine.
Speaker 1 (17:55):

the gap.
