UNO? After the Met Gala? It Happened.

Pharrell Williams turned this year's Met Gala afterparty into an epic game night—with a twist. A-list guests like Kim Kardashian, Jaden Smith, Future, Ciara, Halle Bailey, and more faced off in a high-stakes UNO tournament. Forget gift bags: winners could take home a Richard Mille watch, Tiffany diamond earrings, a Louis Vuitton trunk, or a custom varsity jacket by Pharrell himself. That’s the most luxe game of UNO the world has ever seen.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Disney has just announced they are going to be building
their seventh theme park.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh where can you guess?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's a waterfront resort nexas Front Waterfront Resorts, Greece. Oh,
that's a good guess. It's actually Abu Dhabi. Oh whoa cool?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
No, I know that's gonna be wild.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I wonder if because everything in Abu Dhabi is like
very expensive, if it would just be more expensive than
your regular theme park.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Sure, probably especially because it's on the water for sure, Like.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
The one in the waterfront, that'd be cool. Yeah, they're
all more expensive, Like they just keep getting more expensive
the more that they build them.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
This is anyway, this is really cool. The seventh do
we have the list.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Of the other ones?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I know it's California, Paris, Tokyo, Florida, Hawaii, Hawaii.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Why that's five? Where's number?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
There might be two like in Japan, but I'm ruby tripping.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm not sure. I'm not sure either.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
We'll have to google that, So that'll be the seventh
I'm gonna ask you. And then you have to make
it your goal to like hit all of them.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh, that'd be cool if you could do that.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
And if you had a punch card and you hit
all of them, then they should give you an award.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
They would, they would award you with more charges.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Speaking of an award, how would you like to participate
in an UNO tournament?

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
We kind of fun.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, so most of this I shouldn't say most of
the stars, but the A list stars after the met
Gala attended Farrell's party, so there are sixteen after parties
after the met Gala. But this one sounds like the coolest.
Farrells started hosting these Uno tournaments, so it's kind of
like Vegas.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
But you're playing Uno.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
So there's all these tables, just like a poker tournament.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
But then they're The prizes, though, were pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
You could get a Tiffany's diamond earrings, some like fancy watch.
I don't know who Richard Mill is, but apparently Richard
mill watches aren't insane. A jacket designed by Pharrell or
a Louis Vuitton trunk. You're playing Uno, a Louis Vuitton trunk.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's pretty fun that side.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, that's really fun.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
In fact, Vegas should take the lesson.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
There should be UNO tables and there should be.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
My gosh, you want to give people that would not
normally have a gambling addiction and addiction.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah. Well.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
The other thing is though, like poker and Black Girl
alsoff so intimidating if you don't already not to play it.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah. Yeah, that's actually a really good point. That's a
real good gateway drug.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Because it gives you another opportunity other than slots. Yes,
gateway into cards. So smart.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Also, there should be UNO slots. That doesn't make as
much sense. You were right the first time. No slot,
you don't them slots. You can seem a slot anything.
I feel like they would have been. Maybe they don't.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
I have all the Disney's if you want them, Okay,
So in the United States there's Disneyland in California, Florida, Tokyo, France, China,
and then soon to be Abu dabih.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
So we got all of them. Yeah, yeah, we missed
China Miss China.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah cool, Well, dope, get a ticket. And lastly, Rihanna
is assuring all of us that her album will not
be delayed due to her pregnancy. If you remember last
time she got pregnant, she was like, Nah, We're just
gonna chill for a while. I want to be a
mom and keep working on all my businesses and not
put out an album. But before her announcement of her
pregnancy at the Meggala, she was like, planning on doing

(03:31):
this album, and so she wants us all to know
it's still coming.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
She's tired, but she's excited and it's going to be great.
I wonder who the writers are. Probably Rihanna. She's going
to be one of the writers. She's always one of
the I'm not saying anything against Rihanna.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
This is an argument off the air. I know what.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I've looked it up too.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Rihanna does is by the way, you get writer credit
just by being in the room and a song is written,
just saying. But she does get writer credit on all
of her songs. But she does this really cool thing
where she brings all these mega celebrities mega right in
to write.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Her albums for her.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
I'm wondering who the writers on this album are going
to be.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
That's all it is.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
It's been a mega list, Like the list of writers
for Rihanna songs has been insane.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Is it Rihanna or Rihanna?

Speaker 4 (04:13):
According to her?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Everyone else says yeah, okay, we're all saying okay, yeah,
it's Rihanna. But the one thing that I did find
when I was trying to fact check Brad is that
she does have a song that Justin Timberlake wrote that.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
I was like, Oh, that's crazy. I didn't even know that.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, Like, the list of people who
have written for her is insane.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I had the most awkward experience with Rihanna, would you do?
I was way back when she was first starting out.
I worked on a radio show and I was a
producer and she was like ten minutes late for an
interview and they didn't want to do the interview with
her anymore. Oh and so they're like, cancel it, who's
this Rihanna person?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Whatever?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
And they were like, I was like, they're gonna be
here in like ten minutes maybe you know, maybe maybe
maybe less, and like not doing it. She's late, right,
And so I go about all right, So I go
out of the studio to call Rihanna's people and go, hey, sorry,
you know, And I opened the door and Rihanna's right there,

(05:09):
literally fourhead to forehead with her.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
What'd you say?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I was like, Hey, I'm gonna put you in the
size studio for a second, and then I talked to
your people and then I had to send them home.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
No, they they didn't do the interview. No, they're kicking
themselves now. Yeah, wow, they were right there. Why did
you then there?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
She was ten minutes late and she was brand news, So.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
I don't know who you were working for, but my
guess is that Rihanna won that battle.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
The big time.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah,
