Speaker 1 (00:06):
It really is. Hello. All right, well, Rob Shooter, it's
a new day for us, but we have to stay
the same. Okay, let's uh wait, hold on one second,
here we go, let's do it all right, Rob Shooter.
It is a new day for a new day in
the sense that we want to say thank you, not
not to you, Rob Shooter, while I will thank you

(00:28):
because you are a part of this as well, but
for listening to to Rob Shooter and myself, people are
are are listening. I love this And to be honest,
what happened is we've got to break down of all
the podcasts here at iHeart Radio. I think it's have
a two hundred and fifty thousands podcast that I heart.
Putt Spits and Potatoes podcast. Jesus is in the top eleven,

(00:55):
top eleven eleven. So thank you for listening. It's awfully sweet.
We've been doing this now a couple of years and
it started as two friends with friends outside of this place,
and he started we love celebrities and we love gossip
and about that just like everybody are you like you
you talk to your friends about just like, hey, did
you hear what that Jennifer didn't got? Everybody together and
they took Instagram and so like, it's just literally what

(01:16):
we would do at night over microphone and a drink
and at a bar as we thought we'd stick some
microphones in our faces and talk about celebrities. So thank
you for listening. Thank you. We're not going to get
big heads because we already do. We have the biggest
heads impossible physically big head. No, I I grew up
with a big head. I do have a big head.
I've never seen you wear a cap like, don't know.

(01:37):
I think I'd have to trouble anyone. I went to
do too down to Nappy Experience was in New York,
and I love dads Nappy and friends experience. They gave
me having there's the difference, and they gave me a
bowl of hat and they couldn't find one to fit
my head. It was awfully embarrassing. So we're trying to
be kind and then it turned into this whole embarrassing things.
I was leaving the experience and my head was too big,

(01:58):
and so I kept trying all these different hats and
in the end does like, you know, guys, it's lovely,
offer keep the hat. They sent the bowler hat to
my house. So I know you are. You're very up
on sports. But in baseball, they have what they call
a fitted cap, so a baseball cap. So growing up,
every time I would go to a Caps baseball store
to get one of those hats, the guy would have

(02:19):
to get a ladder. The ladder to go all the
way up to the topic. Once it gets to the
top goes, we don't have your size. I would have
to get mine ordered from a special place just to
have a normal baseball hat. So that's how my childhood went.
So this is what you get when you listen to
celebrity buzz, and we appreciate it, where we just jump
into the weak stories. What's brewing, what's what's everyone talking about? Like, like,

(02:42):
for instance, right now, the fact that Jennifer Andiston's making
waves everywhere. She has a brand new show coming up
on Apple TV Morning Show based on loosely the Matt
Ladder Standar. See that's the thing though there she's saying
it's not it is, but it is. And ironically enough,
Matt Lower hits the news again this week for some promotion.
They were saying it was based on Matt before this

(03:05):
book hit. Now that the book has hit, and lots
of words have been added into the debate. I thought
he was a cheetah, we thought many things about Matt.
Rapist was not a word we were using until this week. Smartly,
so Jennifer and her production company and Reese have decided,
you know what, we probably don't want to be associated with.

(03:27):
So suddenly the show called The Morning Show that's based
on a disgraced anchor, mail anchor who gets fired. Now
it's not based on that lower because they don't want
to be associated with it. It's even too naughty and
dirty for them. So it's probably a smart move to
try and stay away. But the big news too is
that she joined Instagram. Well here's the thing I want
to talk to you about. So Jennifer Anderson joins Instagram

(03:48):
about forty eight hours ago, has closed to seven millions
of taping of this, right, there'll be more intendents but
you're listening is you'll be like. But so with that
scandal coming out of Matt Lauer and trying to kind
of sweep it under rug that her show that she's
paid a lot for her which will go through on

(04:08):
a second, do you think she goes, Hey, guys, let's
all get together her former cast from Friends. Let's take
a picture, and I'm joining Instagram. It's very clever. I
was told, so I'm a gossip columnist center. I hit
the phones and my sources told me it was Rece
It's actually Reese that made her do this. To re
suggested to Jennifer, it's a wonderful way to get information

(04:29):
directly to the public instead of going through the media.
Jennifer is very suspicious of the media. She doesn't do
a lot of interviews. And also, to reset to Jen,
a lot of misinformation out there about you being pregnant, engaged, married.
You can correct it yourself on Instagram. You can just
quickly say I'm not pregnant. Smart And so Jen was like,
who's pretty shy about this. She doesn't like this. She's like,
I'll give it a try now. In the past, whenever

(04:52):
she does these photographs with the casts of Friends, they
have to hashtag her because they can't tag her because
she's not in it. So she put up somebody up
this picture. I think it's one of the guys, and
she responded, you no longer have to hashtag here, And
so she took that picture, which is a couple of
weeks old, and she she posted it herself. It's so
interesting to see if she likes it. A lot of

(05:13):
celebrities have done this when they have a project. Tom
Cruise did it for Mission Impossible. The minute the movie
was over, Tom didn't do it anymore. Well, it's interesting
because Will Smith has kind of made his real resurgence
in his career based off of Instagram. Once Ellen said, hey,
why don't you join Instagram? Where he literally has a
production company follow him around just to film stuff. Right,

(05:34):
I don't think Jen's could actually so I hope I'm wrong.
I know a little bit. I've covered her for over
a decade. She's very private and suddenly to take pictures
of her breakfast or her shoes or her house, but
she won't do that. I think it's very private. I think,
just like you said, when you know, the tabloid comes
out that she's going to give birth to eight twins,

(05:54):
eight sets of twins, and she can easily just you know,
hop on and say, uh, hand, not pregnant, Hello, not pregnant. Um.
It still does take a different mindset to what Jen has. Right,
She's fiercely private. It's really hard to get reporting on
her because she doesn't leave the house very much, and
if she does, she doesn't, she's going to becoming Instagram influence.

(06:15):
Julia Roberts did it, so Julia is another one that's
really really private. Julia now enjoys the Instagram. She doesn't
post a lot of pictures, but she when she wants
to get her point, she does. They're pretty arty. They're
not very direct, like I want to see your fridge,
what's in your bathroom, what's in your like I don't
think we're gonna get that from Jen, but I think
these pictures she'll post and Reese's helping her do it,

(06:35):
and I hope she enjoys it. Julia Roberts went on
to say she actually kind of enjoys it. So, right,
if I was following you on Instagram right now and
you decide to show everyone in the world what's in
your fridge? What am I seeing it is? It's the
beginning of the week, So either you just went to
the supermart finished, just finished, or you're you're you're a

(06:56):
week behind, and it's it's a very extremely empty fridge.
It's bottle of water, several bottles of water. It will
be a which is good because the guest comes over.
You can have a water, water, dubby, milk. There will
be some dog food in there, which I keep in
the fridge, just dog food. So there's dog food, there's
fish food. I have fish. There's a bottle of milk,

(07:17):
and there's water. I think there might be half a
tuna sandwich that I ordered last night. See that like
it would be interesting, just I think maybe once or
twice to see Julia Raveraget. I love people's fridges. And
when I went to Alvis's High who we went with
here a couple of weeks ago. The first thing I
did it so rude. He went to bathroom when I
looked in his fridge. I love I love you and

(07:37):
doesn't even take pictures of people's fridges. I love people's
fridges that I see. If I've got ketchup, I've got
bottle of ketchup, and there's some mayonnaise. But it's think
your fridge, probably baby stuff and that you have a
very different life, yes, and no children's You've gotta have stuff, food,
a lot of food. Yes, yes, you have to feag it.
People might daily need to feed that much. We order it.

(07:58):
I would love one for a night for you to
come over and couldn't come out to Jersey, which is
just a rarity within itself. I know you don't go
to Jersey and and babysit my two kids. We're talking,
we're talking dinner, a bath for the kids, no, the kids,
a bedtime story, and then you get the rest of
the night. You just gotta watch the monitor. That they'd

(08:20):
want to sit with me, I wouldn't do and give
them time. They would think you're Mr Mary Poppins. Watch
may come up with an umbrella and say hello children. Yeah, no,
I take the perfected everywhere. My brother in law is
uh is from Nottingham, but they're convinced he knows Mary Poppins,
so they will grill you on Mary everything. She's a

(08:42):
select Oh what it's terrible thing, It's terrible. Would all right,
we're talking about Jennifer's got to say how much money
to make it? Here we go. So Jennifer Bilston is
is doing the new Apple series Morning Show and it
just came out. Let's just say we give the number,
so I'm friends. They ended up earning a million dollars

(09:02):
in episode eight. Two million dollars eight? Is it more
or less? What do you think? What is it? Garrett?
You gotta think more. Just it's not Friends. It's it's
not it's not. I mean I know the answer, but
I would think that it was less because so many
people watched Friends. It was a network TV. The ad
rates are so much higher than they are on Apple.
I would say should be less. What is it? All right? So,

(09:25):
according to this report insiders from that both women were talking,
Jennifer Lson and Reese Witherspoon have made two million dollars
per episode million dollars. You got a hundred percent raise.
This is thinking about Apple TV. Then at the minute,

(09:46):
they're not running programs to make money or to make
a profit. They just want to break into the TV business.
So you and me, if the iPhones are paying for Jen,
like the iPhones are sortsized in the TV. You know
that teams agreement that we don't want to read in there,
it says you gotta give him the dollar to jan Yes,
every time you've download just the biberg gets dream it

(10:06):
because this is a loss. Like, there's no way when
you're playing Candy Crush you're paying for Jennifer Andison Reese
wethera check. Any TV show could have thought that even
if you were Super Bowl numbers, if you've got twenty
billion viewers a week, you still couldn't make a profit
at those type of numbers. And so she is going
to have to be good. It's gonna have to be
very That's that's incredible. You and I are in the

(10:30):
wrong business, especially since we're not making any money on
this podcast. All right, Nicki Minaj. So here's the interesting
thing about Nicki Minaj. Um So, Nicki Minaj a few
weeks ago said I'm done, retired to music, no more, goodbye.
I don't think a lot of people believed it, though,
you know, she's young enough Nicki believed it. But yet
she still doesn't believe that. Cardi Burg She's like, who God,

(10:53):
I could take a breath. But Nicki Minaj said, I
want to concentrate on my family, you know, want to
do some other things outside of music. And it just
comes out today where she she says herself, I worked
on new music with Adele, and Adele has new music.
Two things. What this new music? You said you want
to it's the biggest music. If you did new music

(11:16):
with somebody like that, we didn't care about Okay, you didn't.
If you didn't new music, you did retire saw it.
So not only did she she held her breath for
two weeks while we all said, Okay, Nicki Minaj just
moved on with the biggest start of the world. You know,
he guaranteed she she already worked out. The styles are
so different, like I wonder what it's going to say,
like Daly so old school big, he changes almost Whitney Houston, Like, well,

(11:40):
I think it will be like it'll be in a
dull song Nicki Minaj kind of like wrap a course
or two at the end. But I feel that Nikki
when she announced this, had no idea when Adele was
going to really release this projects not confirmed. He actually
said I shouldn't say this, well, but that's what I'm saying.
So she's been waiting on Adele to an emphasis. You

(12:02):
can't hold your life up for Adele, right, So what
do you say? You say, you know what, I'm done
with music, and then Adele says, by the way, you
might be done, but I'm releasing that song. Thinkcause I
don't know this, but I hit the FIRS to try
and get the reporting for you. But what I think
happened is they recorded a song together. It maybe didn't
go so great, it might never be released. Now it

(12:22):
has to be released because Nicky shut her mouth off.
You that's think that because you've worked with Jennifer Lopez
like something, if you wanted, if you wanted a song out,
if you announced that you did it, We're always going
to look for this song. So on the next Adele album,
she don't want to put the Nicky song lance she
doesn't have to, but we're all gonna ask you what
happened to the Nicki song? Like this is the something
we want, It's going to be here. It's a little

(12:43):
bit like when Alicia worked with jay Z on that
fantastic New York Empire. Fantastic and that's a Deele, big ballad,
big key change in soaring melodies like Alicia and then
Nickel will come on like jay Z and rap. But
I hear it's as good as that, But you never know,
good luck, would you be past if you were? I

(13:04):
didn't even ask that I would too. But I also
kind of like knowing artists. They want to as soon
as they make it, they want to put it out there. Yes,
you know, it's it's the suits and ties of the
world that say we need a plan and we need
strategy something vir Let's get a baby in the fourth quarter.
Let's get a baby to roll down the hill, crash

(13:25):
into crash into a into a wall, and then your
song will be playing in the background. Who's Who's CARDI
gonna be quote a sung with that? Maria was alright,
so let's be it. So who would be the equivalent
of a doubt? Sam Smith? If I was Cardie, I'd
call up Sam Smith and say, oh, why don't do
a duet Beyonce. That's pretty good because you need a

(13:48):
very big heavy if you're gonna go toe to toe
with Adele, with you and me could do it would
be a hit. I have you have to blow this
by shooting your mouth off? I don't think so. Maybe
you've helped it. Well, I don't think we caused it.
Nicky shot a mouth off. We didn't. We didn't. This

(14:09):
isn't sourcing. This is Nikki. She's the one that said shooter.
If we had that inside info would be great. I'd
love this scoop that this podcast right here, We'll go.
We believe it, though. If I if I broke a
story that Dala Nicky sources tell me a dlan Nicki
and the sources Nikki. I wouldn't be able to tell
you that, But if I did a story, you'd be
like Rob Shoot out of town. All right, let's talk

(14:29):
about one of your freenemies, Bethany Franks report him. Yes,
coming straight from Rob Shooter. Uh naughty gossip dot com.
Bethany has had zero contact with the other ladies of
her cast. It's crazy, Bethany. Yes, that is Katik Okay,
Katie Cook. Okay, look at that little dog. This helps

(14:52):
is dog? Katie looks good. Yeah, Katie Kirk also to
read the books talking about No. No, she has her
own podcast I want to hear about. She hasn't started yet.
When does that start? Very soon? So we need to
keep I gotta get it. Yes, I gotta get a
red dress and high heels. Two weeks ago through she

(15:16):
quit broking. First, I spoke to the house since she
finished filming. So not since she quit, which only two
weeks ago. Since she finished filming, which was months ago,
She's had zero contact with the labors. Bethany is not
friends with those girls and this is not dishing. Bethany.
I don't like Bethany, but this hasn't been mean the
bad hat she treats the house. I so she treated
it like a job, but it wasn't a job. Like

(15:37):
me and you where become friends after working beverage drink.
Bethany did the shoot, left, They didn't see her again
until the next season, so the Ladies had zero contact
with Bethany. She didn't text them saying she was quitting.
They read about it in the press and so poof gone, No, no,
it's interesting. I mean we all have those coworkers to
where as much as like, hey, you know when we leave,
we're gonna be friends. Are you still friends? He left, Yeah,

(15:59):
and we will get less and less less. It happens.
It just happened, saying now I love you, bro on
a miss shoe within the month. By the way, you
would never get cast on the Jersey shore. You would
never get I used to have this friend Susan, when
I was a publicist for j LO. Susan had the
office next to me, ship did for all and we
used to talk. We had coffee every day at four
o'clock every day for four or five years. I missed

(16:21):
crazy when I left the company. I missed Susan and
the coffee more than anything with j And but a
week passes, a month passes, and now I haven't seen
Susan a couple of years. You know what it is.
It's the equivalent of high school. So you graduate high school,
you get the best friend Mimus Craig Smith. You not
spoke to him ten years, Joe Caba Bianca when it
happened to us he's actually an animation. Friendly gets canceled. Yeah,

(16:44):
but when we when we trust me whoses at each
other across the crowd. Yes, well we'll kind of wink.
We'll do that wink where we don't want to overdo it.
But it's like high school where end of the year
you graduate, you get the yearbook. I come over to you,
Rob Shooter, You're like, hey, some my yearbook. Hey friends forever,
see you next weekst friends forever, and that's the last

(17:05):
time ever. I do think that's Lifely, you shouldn't feel
bad about it. I do like those friendships where I
bump into people I've not seen in months, maybe years,
and you pick up like you never let go. There's
some people that I've there after years that'll be like,
I have nothing to say to you. Well, it's that.
And I tell interns here they're like, I'm gonna come
back or whenever, Like, listen, you're never coming back. You

(17:28):
don't want to come back, Go and fly right exactly.
An older sistant who still comes to my office to
see me too often, and I'm like, dude, you've gotta fly,
but we don't want to see you anymore. You hear
the story. So Elton John he's out promoting his books book.
I've got a copy of it. Oh you do delicious?
Today I read a chrud sex sex record today. My
favorite story See Dishes about a ton of celebrities, which

(17:49):
I adore. But my favorite story I read this morning
before coming down here. It's like chapter four or something.
He talks about his losing his hair. He talks about
being bald, and he said how upset he was, and
in the seventies is started to lose it and that's
why he wore the baseball caps all the time. And
then he had a hair dye in New York City
and that's when his hair really fell out. It was
a terrible hair dye. He's had transplants all sorts, so

(18:10):
he finally got a rug. He got to pay. He's
at his house in Atlanta, fast asleep. I mean, he's
this noise and so he goes down and stays, puts
a robe on creep standstairs. Halfway down the stairs, he says,
I've not cut my hair on, runs back upstairs to
put his week on because he's Rationelle is if I
get murdered, I want to dye my hair on. I
don't want them to find me the police without my rug.
And he wants it to the kitchen and there's two

(18:31):
men fixing the sink workman and he's like, oh, I'm
so sorry, blah blah. They were like, sorry to wake
you up, Mr John, blah blah. And they kept looking
at him really strangely, and ultimate was like their star struck.
I'm Elton John. And then he went back up to
bed and he passed a mirror. His week was on backwards,
and he said, he did say, without a week till
he looks like Shrek. He's adorable. This book is so honest.

(18:51):
This is my favorite auto biography. So he uh. Elton
John was on with Kimmel last night and he was
talking about a story that I believe he was at.
He was in some wintry Place with Stevie Wonder. I
love these celeb stories where it's like HAPs It's like,
so it is me, Stevie Wonder, Madonna lady. So Stevie
Wonder goes, I want to ride your snowmobile. So they

(19:16):
let they let Stevie Wonder go go on the snowmobile.
And he goes, well, that's at least one off of
my competition. One down. Let's get the one person he
doesn't really dish about who he doesn't really like his
Madonna's who's had a long feud with Madonna and I
was hoping for more juice. I literally skinned every page
to see Madonna. I'm such a Madonna fan. But he
doesn't like it. But there's not that much juice on

(19:37):
her ton of juice on. He went on to a
Tina Turner and she made him feel fat. He didn't
like that. Um, he was not She was not very
nice to him. I think it's I think the coolest
part is the fact when other celebrities talk about other
celebrities like you and I talk as if we're best friends.
You know what I mean? It's that, yeah, exactly. He
tells the story that he's at Studio fifty four and

(19:58):
Liamnali was so high that she came over and asked
him to marry her. He was like, Lisa, I am
getting but we just about to calm down. And so
it's very funny. This book is delicious if you want juicy,
and it's told. I don't know if he wrote it himself,
but if he didn't, he had a great ghostwriter because
it's literally worded like Elton's. I would love for him
to sit down and do the whole recording and talks

(20:19):
to about sex. Likes some really juicy parts. He said
that he was never that into sex. His thing was
having beautiful men come over and get on his snooker
would call it a pool table, and he would watch them.
So he said he was a voyor probably kept him
alive because his generation of gay men with HV and

(20:40):
as it's a scary time. So he actually says that
because he didn't really have that much sex, couldn't be
a Voyer rub. You couldn't look at me constantly doing it.
I need to. I would look at my need to
be a part of the I don't know, yes, I
think I do too. It's kind of boring, like I've
never been to a strip club. I've never been either.

(21:01):
To me, let you go to the Playboy club here
in New York on But isn't it kind of more
like a club and not like a handled would ball. Yeah,
but it's not. It's not, it's not, it's not. It's
like so it's really expensive drinks like twenty bucks. Don't go. Yeah,
it was really expensive going endorsement there goes a Playboy sponsorship.
But even going to a strip clubs the whole persona

(21:22):
of sitting down with with a friend and having a
steak dinner and then watching a boy strip and hello,
I watch your name? Hello? Yeah, who's your favorite Kardashian?
Watching Rob Shooter? And I would be the only ones
asked to leave for doing something not illegal. But the

(21:42):
girls questions are you paying them for this? Questions? How
much does it want? Once the laptops? Why do you
charge more? What do you do that she doesn't I'll
be some noses then ask us to name Okay, Well,
thank you, my friend, thank you for listening. You don't
know what it means for us. It means a lot,
So thank you for listening. Ing this week, next week,
