0:25

window we're like we're like we're all on

0:57

us this week as we are going to be

1:00

talking smash or pass or pass in pop culture.

1:02

But before we do that you guys. I don't

1:04

know if you know this about

1:06

podcasting, but it's often very difficult

1:08

to find new listeners because there's

1:11

just not a built-in way to

1:13

discover what are the great podcasts, you

1:15

know, like ours, you know, ones that

1:17

you love, like ours, and you only

1:19

listen to us. So I'm talking about

1:21

ours, okay? But one great way is

1:23

by leaving a review, and you can

1:26

leave a review on an Apple podcast

1:28

or on Spotify, even if you don't

1:30

use those platforms to listen to our

1:32

networks every week. The banter is quick

1:34

and hilarious. They play off of each

1:36

other well, the light-hearted moments I really

1:38

need, every week, and then some, and

1:40

they are good people willing to take a

1:43

stand. I like that. She has no idea

1:45

if we're good people or not. That's absurd.

1:47

Don't ruin it. So if you love us,

1:49

if you love us, a wonderful way and

1:51

a free way that you can show that

1:53

you love this is by simply heading over

1:56

to Spotify or to Apple Podcast and leaving

1:58

a five-star review. Ladies

4:09

right, Jamie, we are here to talk

4:11

smash or pass in pop culture. One

4:13

of my favorite episodes, because it's kind

4:15

of like we get to all skate

4:18

a couple different topics. It's like adjacent

4:20

to the more you know, but there's

4:22

just so much happening in the world.

4:24

We're not going to talk about that.

4:27

But just in pop culture, that it's

4:29

like we need to wrap our arms

4:31

around it. But before we do that,

4:33

like, let's just like temperature check. Okay.

4:36

Good trip, bad trip, like what were

4:38

we talking about? So I talked a little bit

4:40

about my trip in the more you know, like

4:42

the kind of the secrets of all the fun

4:44

things, but I, listen, I had a great time,

4:47

California was magic, everyone there kept telling me it

4:49

was cold, and I was like, hey, it's 68

4:51

degrees. Oh my god. Like, it was magic.

4:53

Because I got off the plane and

4:56

I was like, oh good, 34! This

4:58

is excellent. Yeah. But listen, I had

5:00

a magical time. I got to see

5:02

the Oscar's red carpet while I were

5:05

putting it up, which was super fun.

5:07

I got to go to the

5:09

Griffith Observatory, and you can go

5:11

to the Griffith Observatory, and you can

5:13

see all of that. I fall asleep.

5:16

Let me tell you, I was trying

5:18

to be a good guest and

5:20

pay for the parking. I was like for

5:22

10 hours. We were going to literally just walk around

5:24

at one loop, which was going to mean we were

5:26

there 10 minutes. And I was like, so then I'm

5:29

just walking around the park, like, if I want this

5:31

ticket, if I want and listen, the Danish couple who

5:33

was lovely. They were like, thank you so much. And

5:35

I was like, listen, you can also pay it for

5:37

her because it's going to have so many hours on it.

5:39

Keep this, we're going to have your country

5:41

soon. So enjoy wildlife. That's exactly right.

5:44

So it was great. I got to

5:46

go to the set of ridiculousness, which

5:48

was so fun and everybody was so

5:50

friendly. And that's the first time I've

5:52

ever been a guest on a set.

5:54

And we went to the Academy Museum.

5:57

We ate so much food. I ate sushi.

5:59

It was not. We did ask, we

6:01

were like, what was the food

6:03

situation? You mentioned sushi and Aaron

6:05

and I agree, that's the most

6:07

Jamie food ever. You noted sushi.

6:09

I ended up, I loved everything

6:11

that I tried. It was so yummy

6:14

and that's a classic because they

6:16

were like, you can't, you can't

6:18

come to California and not eat

6:20

sushi. Not eat sushi. Sure. Fair enough.

6:23

Oh, and then I went and saw

6:25

Grady hid drinks the author at Barnes

6:27

and Barnes. Let me tell you. He

6:29

writes horror, he has a new book, which I really

6:31

loved, and he did a one-hour power point presentation on

6:33

the history of witches that was so fantastic. We were

6:36

like, and we went to him, we were like, this

6:38

seems to be a TED Talk, and he was like,

6:40

no, I like to just do it in person with

6:42

people. It's more fun. I'm like, yeah, but you could

6:44

make so much money. We were trying to like be

6:46

his agent and manager. Hype him up a little bit.

6:48

Yeah. Okay, I have a quite, was he doing that

6:50

because he's like, I don't really want to do the

6:53

author thing right with you? That's genius. Like, I

6:55

think he didn't want to do a human.

6:57

Although to be fair, it was 200 people

6:59

sold out in this Barnes and Noble in

7:01

Huntington Beach. He even started it with like,

7:03

um, yeah, I was concerned with my, I

7:05

haven't been to the West Coast since 2017 and

7:07

I was nervous when they said we're going to

7:09

Orange County. We're going to Orange County. We're going

7:11

to Orange County. We're going to Orange County. Because

7:14

he writes very, what I would bet my mom

7:16

would call a progressive liberal agenda. Woke.

7:18

Woke core? Yeah, woke core. So he does

7:20

do that. And so he was, he was

7:22

phenomenal. I was just like, I want to

7:24

read, I want to learn. He just did a

7:27

great, it was great. So I have some great.

7:29

He did, he did the, how to sell a

7:31

haunted house. Is that the one I'm thinking

7:33

of, yes. Okay. And he's from Charleston.

7:35

So he had a very like southern,

7:37

like southern energy. But he, it was fun,

7:40

he was great. I did eat fried chicken, because

7:42

Larchmaine, who was my host, Larchmaine, who's a podcast

7:44

host, I've done things to tell you. She was

7:46

like, let's have this fried chicken. I was like,

7:48

you know, I'm from fried chicken. Yeah. And she

7:50

was like, no, no, no, I bet you'll like it. And

7:53

it was delicious. It was delicious. Listen, the

7:55

best fried chicken I've ever had my life was

7:57

in my life was in Portland. Was in

7:59

Portland. Like true story, I went back twice.

8:02

Yeah, I'm one trip. It was really

8:04

good. Aaron does not seem convinced.

8:06

No, I'm just listening. I hear

8:08

the listener's anguish coming through already.

8:10

It was parentheses, skeptical face. Aaron,

8:12

you know, and that's okay. Fair.

8:14

Well, I'm glad you made it.

8:17

I'm glad your planes didn't land

8:19

upside down and things like that.

8:21

Okay, maybe it did. I don't

8:23

know for sure, but we're here

8:25

talking about several different items. I'm

8:27

really excited and we're gonna, obviously,

8:30

we'll talk about them and then

8:32

decide smash your pass. First up,

8:34

Shrek 5, the teaser trailer dropped.

8:36

I know your Google or just like

8:38

mine are. I did want, I was

8:41

expecting a bit more meat on the

8:43

bone. of the Shrek story, right? Yeah.

8:45

Yeah, but this is really just, it's,

8:47

Zendai is in it, and that's kind

8:50

of the purpose of this teaser trailer.

8:52

When you saw it, what were your

8:54

expectations going into it? And then when

8:56

you saw it, what did you think about

8:58

it? So my excitations were, when was Shrek?

9:00

Was it a long time ago, because

9:03

I'll tell you this, on Tik, where I very

9:05

much see a lot of Shrek. Streck

9:07

is big on TikTok. It's the

9:09

weirdest thing. And I was like, I

9:12

don't want to do this to you, but

9:14

Shrek's big everywhere. So it's

9:16

not just true. But like,

9:19

where they're really, they're into

9:21

Pinocchio for some reason. Like,

9:23

Pinocchio is very twisted and

9:25

weird, right? Like, that's a

9:28

psychotic, phallic nose. Right. I

9:30

hate to do this, I hate

9:32

to shrek's playing you, but it's

9:34

not Shrek 4. Okay, they

9:36

don't call it Shrek forever

9:38

after? Thank you. Okay, sorry.

9:40

That's the proper pronunciation. It

9:43

is confusing. Why are they

9:45

calling this Shrek 5 then?

9:47

I don't know. Like there's,

9:50

I looked up the canonical,

9:52

like Shrek, like Shrek 2,

9:54

like there's, I looked

9:56

up the canonical, like Shrek

9:59

the third. Then they do

10:01

it like a lot of, obviously.

10:03

But Shrek the third is the

10:05

worst of all the Shrek's. What's

10:07

the best? That's not an opinion.

10:10

That's a fact. Okay. Shrek 2

10:12

is top five movie of all

10:14

time. Of all movies. Oh Godfather Shrek

10:16

2. That's exactly right. Yeah. Okay. And

10:19

then Shrek for Ever After is a

10:21

close. not second because it's strike two

10:23

so good but Shrek forever after it's

10:25

the story of Ruppel Still Skin gets

10:27

into the Shrek story which is really

10:29

like a Shrek multiverse yeah there is

10:32

I mean even when you see like

10:34

as a universal as a studio like

10:36

when you go see a universal movie

10:38

now you know like in Marvel they're

10:40

like here's Ant-man and Iron Man R.

10:42

I-P and then like the a woman

10:45

and then black panther now when they do

10:47

that they do Shrek and they do Shrek

10:49

and they're Shrek characters So in this trailer,

10:51

so I was like, you're right, we get

10:53

a moment where I didn't know they had

10:56

the magic mirror like in their house. Oh

10:58

yeah. Oh yeah. And then I did notice,

11:00

the talk on the internet was that they

11:02

looked different. There was almost some Sonic the

11:04

Hedgehog. If people remember, people got

11:07

so mad about that teaser trailer

11:09

for Sonic the Hedgehog that Sonic

11:11

did not look like. It's teeth. It's

11:13

teeth. And so they fixed it. Paramount

11:15

actually fixed it. And went back

11:17

in and it actually delayed Sonic. And

11:19

then, but this, people were upset because

11:22

their eyes were bigger. And I was

11:24

like, yeah, but they don't look bad. They

11:26

look like expressive. They are ogres. So

11:28

I'm okay with however they know. I

11:30

didn't like the cliche of like, here's our

11:33

teenage daughter who has a nose ring and

11:35

now you know everything you need to know

11:37

about. Yeah, like she's angsty and

11:39

rebellious. Like is this, um, is this

11:42

good for Zindea? or bad for Zendaya?

11:44

Or is this going to be Zendaya's

11:46

euphoria character on Trek 5? Now I'm

11:48

back yet. Okay, I would be with

11:50

you. Here's the thing. When Felicia was

11:52

presented and she spoke, not on any

11:54

planet, what I have guessed that that

11:57

was Zendaya. I think that's probably

11:59

fair. doesn't have like a

12:01

recognized voice. So when they said it

12:03

I was like who's Zendaya and then

12:06

I went I was like oh maybe

12:08

a bit it's a short teaser like

12:10

truly so like but I look good

12:13

for good for Cameron Diaz to still

12:15

get paid like I'm glad for you.

12:17

She okay so my my question is

12:19

in my notes I have Cameron Diaz

12:22

assuents question mark because she did the

12:24

Jamie Fox bad Netflix movie right? She's

12:26

doing this now which like she's not

12:29

she didn't get chosen to do this

12:31

like she's just in the Shrek franchise

12:33

is she are we like in two

12:35

years when we sit here being like

12:38

man I'm so glad Karen Diaz is

12:40

back on why no no I don't

12:42

oh no I don't think so I

12:45

don't think I think you got a

12:47

you think with acting you think it's

12:49

like riding a bike or do you

12:51

think it's more like speaking if you

12:54

don't use it you lose it right

12:56

you know like you take Spanish and

12:58

like I'm fluent and then two years

13:01

later like I'm fluent and then two

13:03

years later like Come on say do

13:05

you say I can still ask you

13:07

what's in your backpack, you know, kai

13:10

and too much yeah So I don't

13:12

recognize your energy there's what I'm saying

13:14

there well listen I did see that

13:17

at okay I'm gonna read a sentence

13:19

at the Universal Studios. There's a donkey

13:21

experience Yeah, which sounds sexual, but it's

13:23

not it's just that you have an

13:26

animatronic version of donkey who's interacting with

13:28

the parks actor Fiona Okay. And they're,

13:30

but they're doing it in real time.

13:33

So they're having an interaction and the

13:35

donkey mentions that Shrek is embarrassed to

13:37

show his face because he doesn't want

13:39

to get questions about the new trailer.

13:42

And then says, because there's a video

13:44

of this, and then says Felicia, like

13:46

15, Donkey looks homeless. Which is tough.

13:49

It does feel like for a certain

13:51

generation, this is Eddie Murphy's like signature

13:53

thing. You know, it's not that he

13:55

saves us out alive or he was

13:58

like a huge star like 48 hours,

14:00

I think. It's he's Donkey from the

14:02

strike franchise. Don't he. And I don't

14:05

know if that's good or bad. No,

14:07

I think it's not good. I don't

14:09

think it's good. Although I like that

14:11

they're all getting paid. Aaron, how many

14:14

years has it been since the first

14:16

track? Don't Google it. Just answer. Oh,

14:18

25? Yes. Wow, really? That's really? That's

14:21

Aaron. She's like, got the, like, NBA

14:23

Jam, like, fire on the ball, right?

14:25

It feels like she's high, but that's

14:27

good. I'm not. Like, she's on top

14:30

of things. Did you know that there's

14:32

a rumor that Limp Biscit is going

14:34

to do all of the music for

14:37

Shrek 5? Please. I feel like Creed's

14:39

the obvious choice there, but we'll see.

14:41

We'll see what happens. Yeah. Do you

14:43

think this is more vehicle for, because

14:46

if you watch Cincinnati this weekend, is

14:48

this a Mike Meijer Cissants, potentially? I

14:50

think it might be. I did like

14:53

his white blonde hair. Wait. Whoa. That

14:55

was kind of crazy, man. I know.

14:57

He looked like Draco's uncle. All roads

14:59

lead back to Draco. Right now they

15:02

do. Yes, they do. So Cameron Diaz

15:04

has another movie coming out. I don't

15:06

know if you know about this. It's

15:09

called Outcome. It is directed and written

15:11

by Jonah Hill. I'll just read you

15:13

the summer. It follows Hollywood star reef

15:16

as he is forced to confront his

15:18

problems in a tone for his past

15:20

after being threatened by bizarre video footage

15:22

from his past. Do you know who

15:25

reef is? Jonah Hill. It's not. It's

15:27

Kiana Reeves, actually. I was kind of

15:29

out and now I'm back in. No,

15:32

I am back in. I don't know

15:34

what to think about this. Oh, I'm

15:36

proud of Jonah Hill for not casting

15:38

himself. I will say. So I've got

15:41

a green line this week. We're going

15:43

to talk about it later. It's the

15:45

Lord Michael's book. Do you know who

15:48

comes off the worst in the Lord

15:50

Michael's book? It's Jonah. It's Jonah Hill.

15:52

It's set in two timelines. It's like,

15:54

you know, tracking Laurenes. And Jonah Hill's

15:57

the host. And even like the way

15:59

that the audio performer like talks about

16:01

Jonah Hill is like, oh lord, I'm

16:04

so heavy. when you are dissed by

16:06

the narrator, the audio narrator, it's pretty

16:08

bad. It's really bad for him. I

16:10

thought he is not gonna be happy

16:13

when he listens to this if he

16:15

does listen this. So, so Shrek 5,

16:17

smash or pass. I'm gonna, I'm gonna

16:20

smash, listen, I, although I do hope

16:22

they have another baby because the babies

16:24

were so cute. Yeah. But, uh, I

16:26

am curious about the adventures of Felicia

16:29

and who she's gonna meet, like, a

16:31

hot. Red Riding Hood and they'll be

16:33

like in love? Like that'd be fun.

16:36

Like, I don't know. Yeah. See, see,

16:38

when I looked back, I was trying

16:40

to see who's writing this, because I

16:42

was trying to trace it back to

16:45

did they work on track two or

16:47

strike forever after? And William Stieg did.

16:49

So I was like, is he involved?

16:52

And he's not because he's dead. So

16:54

I was like, wow, okay, that's not

16:56

good. But Michael McCullers is one of

16:58

one of the writers, and one of

17:01

the writers, and he wrote boss baby,

17:03

and he wrote boss baby, and baby,

17:05

and baby, and baby, mama, mama, okay.

17:08

There's no baby in this trailer, but

17:10

if there's a baby in this movie,

17:12

I will feel a lot better about

17:14

that. Yeah, because boss baby, no one

17:17

talks about it script enough because they

17:19

really should like talk about what are

17:21

you doing? What are you doing? What

17:24

are you doing right now? Don't do

17:26

this. You don't understand. Don't be rude.

17:28

I've never seen boss. I'm going to

17:30

smash it. Very hard if kree does

17:33

all the music or limbistic. Honestly, what

17:35

if it was just nickel back? Like

17:37

what if it was nickel back even

17:40

harder? Even harder. Double smash Who's the

17:42

who wrote the song? Smash brothers all

17:44

smash? Smash brothers Marile Luigi Marile Luigi

17:46

name of the band. In between their

17:49

Super Smashing they wrote the music us

17:51

All-Star. All-Star. Thank you. Smash mouth. That's

17:53

Scratch Master himself, Juan. Juan, you've mastered

21:03

seven hundred and thirteen playful ways to

21:05

scratch. Impressive! How'd you do it? Well,

21:07

I began with a coin, then tried

21:10

a guitar pick. I even used a

21:12

cactus once. I can scratch with anything.

21:14

Even this mic right here. See? See?

21:16

Well there you have it. Scratchers are

21:19

21:23

player claim. Do

22:30

we need a beef button? Oh,

22:32

would someone make us a beef button?

22:34

What would that sound like? Just

22:36

like a cow or something else? I

22:39

don't know. Oh, it moves? Would

22:41

you hit it? I like it. Madison,

22:43

we need a cow mooing as

22:45

the beef button alert. Bad baby in

22:47

Alabama Barker. Two people I know

22:49

very well. Right, right. They are entrenched.

22:52

Really, I learned about this Ashley was

22:54

like, have you heard about this

22:56

beef? I was like, no. And she

22:58

said. All I know is bad

23:00

baby was twirking on a man who

23:03

looks like Alabama Barker's father. Right.

23:05

And I was like, I gotta learn

23:07

more about this. So that's kind

23:09

of the status of this beef so

23:11

far. Did you know about this

23:13

future? No, I did not. I mean,

23:16

I knew Alabama Barker is kind

23:18

of everywhere and always in skirmishes on

23:20

the internet. But for those who

23:22

don't know, Alabama Barker is the daughter

23:24

of actress, which I would argue

23:26

is a loose term. Shanna Mokler. She's

23:29

gonna be mad if you miss

23:31

her. She's gonna be mad if you

23:33

mispronounces. I know I think it's

23:35

shanna because it's two ends. Don't do

23:37

that to me. Two ends is

23:39

a and then blink one eighty choose

23:42

and Courtney Kardashians current husband Travis marker

23:44

and and then bad baby you

23:46

might be like I don't know who

23:48

that is. Yes you do. It's

23:50

Daniel Burgoli and Daniel is the Kashmir

23:53

outside girl from Dr. Phil and

23:55

that's her rat persona is bad baby.

23:57

Yeah. And then just for the

23:59

record, Alabama. Barker is 20 years old

24:01

and bad baby is 21 years

24:03

old. You could, there's such a range

24:06

of how bad baby is that

24:08

I was like, I don't know when

24:10

she got famous. Was she 12?

24:12

Was she 20? I didn't know how

24:14

young. And listen, so she has,

24:16

so the beef happened because bad baby

24:19

went on Instagram and she was

24:21

like, listen, my baby daddy, Uh-huh. Okay.

24:23

One name. One name. They had

24:25

been on a break for two weeks

24:27

and apparently, he did not turn

24:29

off Life 360. And so she tracked

24:32

him to Alabama Barker's neighborhood and that

24:34

led her to believe that Alabama,

24:36

but they were on a break. She

24:39

says we were on a two-week

24:41

break. We were working things out. We

24:43

were on a two-day break? Two-week

24:45

break. Two-week break. And then she said

24:47

in the video. She goes, first

24:49

of all. He has my name tattooed

24:52

on his neck. And all of

24:54

this ended up leading to them breaking

24:56

up officially. So they are no

24:58

longer together. And so she wrote a

25:00

beef, like she wrote, she did

25:02

a song. A B phantom? Is that

25:05

what we were called? In January,

25:07

called Overcooked and it was B word,

25:09

you want my life, you want

25:11

the D I get. Everybody knows this

25:13

B's weird. Listen, that's the most

25:15

powerful lyric. When someone says, I know.

25:18

that you be word is weird.

25:20

Yeah, I feel like that's so hurtful.

25:22

If you call someone just flatly weird

25:24

or like a clown, there's no

25:26

coming back from that. No, it's brutal.

25:29

And so of course, she said,

25:31

she then accuses some life choices that

25:33

Alabama might or may not have

25:35

made in the song. And that she

25:37

was maybe pregnant by Tiger and

25:39

effing on soldier boy. That's right. That's

25:42

right. Who both have since come

25:44

out and said, They do not know

25:46

what this is. I do not

25:48

know. And we would like to be

25:50

excluded from the narrative. And so

25:52

then of course Alabama Parker, she drops,

25:55

which could have to her, hers

25:57

is named crab baby, which and it's.

25:59

For those who don't know, it's

26:01

bad baby, but both bees have an

26:03

H after it. That's right. Yeah.

26:05

And so she, I think her says,

26:08

can't believe I heard a distract.

26:10

This hoe don't like me. That isn't

26:12

even wrong. I was out in LV.

26:14

An LV tried to pipe me.

26:16

That's LaVne. That's Las Vegas and LaVne.

26:19

And if you didn't get that.

26:21

Yeah. I can't even cap. I didn't

26:23

know he was your BD. Maybe

26:25

daddy for those wondering at home at

26:27

home. And then she said that

26:29

it really leads to Miss Whitman, at

26:32

least the bad baby coming out

26:34

with Miss Whitman, which is the citizen

26:36

cane of disanthemes. I would, I

26:38

would. Which, okay, so Miss Whitman, for

26:40

those who don't know, Aaron, do

26:42

you know what the Miss Whitman references?

26:45

I do not. It would be

26:47

difficult to know because this is obscure,

26:49

but it is the sex worker

26:51

from Quentin Tarantino's true romance that Alabama

26:53

Barker was named after. So

26:56

it's like, it's such a stupid beef,

26:58

number one. Number two, the self-referentiality is

27:00

so clever, but in such a stupid

27:02

way, that I'm impressed by. Does that

27:04

make sense? It does. And it makes

27:07

me think that anora is going to

27:09

start becoming a trending name. Like anora,

27:11

it'd be like, yes, I too want

27:13

to do that. I would also like

27:15

to name my child after a famous

27:17

sex worker, a fictional sex worker. So,

27:20

now I watched the Miss Whitman video.

27:22

And have you seen it, Jamie? Did

27:24

you watch it? Okay. It is, it's

27:26

fascinating. It's a fascinating piece of pop

27:28

culture ephemera because Bad Baby is the

27:31

rare performer who she has a video

27:33

featuring only her, I mean, it's like

27:35

people are in the background obviously, but

27:37

she is exclusively performing. But in every

27:39

shot, it feels as though she is

27:41

a background dancer. She feels like an

27:44

nPC who is also speaking in her

27:46

video. Because like she, you know, you

27:48

always have like the people, the dancers

27:50

who are like twirking on the artist,

27:52

right? Right. But she is somehow twirking

27:55

on. the foe Travis Barker while also

27:57

wrapping the anthem. So it's very, very

27:59

disarray. So there's just a look like

28:01

of her dad. Yes, not Alabama's bad

28:03

bad, Alabama's bad. Okay, that's right. Well,

28:06

because there's a lot in the song

28:08

that I like the most was Stanky

28:10

P word, got you kicked out the

28:12

Kardashian house. Right, right, art. Art, your

28:14

step mom burnt out why she took

28:16

her sister's second hand. Okay, that doesn't

28:19

even logically make sense to me. Because

28:21

it doesn't, it doesn't, and people have

28:23

always said that bad baby is a

28:25

tactical magician. So, I am disappointed in

28:27

her lyric choice here. She employs one

28:30

of my favorite things I've ever seen

28:32

in a song where she echoes herself.

28:34

So the line you just read, it's

28:36

your stepmom burnout why she took her

28:38

sister's second hand, parentheses, wow, I know

28:41

your route, you're reaching out, you need

28:43

my name for clout, clout. Like. the

28:45

self-eccoing, but then it gets weirder because

28:47

she says you ugly with no makeup

28:49

for some beats you F on Jacob

28:51

parentheses dirty horror this I don't understand

28:54

the function like it's not rhyming it's

28:56

not thematically on point it's just reiterating

28:58

that she does well and then like

29:00

randomly in this beef also exists Romi

29:02

Mars Romi Mars the daughter of Sophia

29:05

Copala who then puts her own chick-dock

29:07

up and it's just mainly like She's

29:09

making fun of Alabama Barker doing get

29:11

ready with me. And it's just she's

29:13

a genuine question. What the F. Is

29:16

Alabama Barker getting ready for? Wow. She's

29:18

going to in and out. Don't worry

29:20

about it. Why are you? That's also

29:22

really rude. Like you have nothing to

29:24

do. You've got nothing but time. Alabama

29:26

Barker. You know, the daughter of a.

29:29

celebrity, right? Yes. I can't really establish

29:31

like what Alabama Barker does. So I

29:33

wanted to extend that further and do

29:35

like a suntry kill. Elking, daughter of

29:37

Rob Schneider. Yes. Alabama Barker, Megan McCain.

29:40

What are we thinking here? They're all

29:42

the same in their energy, yes. Yeah.

29:44

Right? Are we smooch marrying and killing

29:46

them? Is that what I'm doing? Yeah.

29:48

Uh, I'm gonna smooch? I'm gonna smooch

29:51

El King. She does have that one

29:53

song that I really, X's and O's,

29:55

I'm gonna smooch El King. She does

29:57

have that one song that I really,

29:59

X's and O's, I really like that

30:01

song, I really, X's and O's, I

30:04

really like that song that I really,

30:06

X's, I really like. I don't. like

30:08

I it's not what she it's not

30:10

what she says the content I appreciate

30:12

that she's a takes a takes woman

30:15

like I'm gonna I'm a let her

30:17

go I just don't she her hair

30:19

so tight when she pulls it back

30:21

their head so big and that's why

30:23

I have to wear my hair down

30:25

and so I don't know why it's

30:28

tough because like I it's not what

30:30

she it's not what she says the

30:32

content I appreciate that she's a takes

30:34

a takes a takes woman yeah you

30:36

know love takes people they're crazy people

30:39

I don't know what her function is.

30:41

She doesn't have to do anything. She's

30:43

20 or 19. She doesn't have to

30:45

do anything. Yeah, but for the for

30:47

the SMK, I gotta let you go

30:50

for that reason. At least Elking sings,

30:52

you know. Yeah, she does have a

30:54

skill. I mean, because does Megan McCain,

30:56

other than commentary, and takes our skill,

30:58

Jamie, what are you talking about? What

31:00

do we do? Are you insane right

31:03

now? It may be the highest skill

31:05

that anyone could have. That anyone could

31:07

have. It is a great skill that

31:09

anyone could have. We nailed it. So

31:11

do we think this this beef goes

31:14

on or do you think Miss Whitman

31:16

is the I don't even know if

31:18

there was a follow-up? No I don't

31:20

think there's been a follow-up since at

31:22

February. Aaron, check the data. Has there

31:25

been a beef song update since February

31:27

25th from Bad Baby or Alabama Barker?

31:29

I mean it should be coming from

31:31

Bad Baby. I did just... Also can

31:33

you find out what is a Levant?

31:35

And what does a Levant do? Oh

31:38

wait, it should be coming from Alabama

31:40

Barker. Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah,

31:42

yeah. Ball's in her court. She's a

31:44

tennis. I like the Levant is V-A-U-T-N.

31:46

It feels fancier. Oh, no, there is

31:49

31:51

31:53

like people with weird names like Alabama

33:03

Barker. That's a crazy parent choice to

33:05

name a you know, and bad baby,

33:07

what's that about? That's great. LaVon, La

33:09

Space, Vaughn, that's crazy, right? No, that's

33:12

cook, go down. Let's celebrate these wonka

33:14

names. Okay, next up, the act of

33:16

flood lighting. Are you, are you, are

33:18

you familiar with flood lighting? And were

33:20

you, are you familiar with flood lighting?

33:23

And were you, are you previously, and

33:25

were you previously, it's like I'm gonna

33:27

talk about everything in my life that

33:29

appears to be vulnerable but you're actually

33:31

not having real vulnerability and I am

33:34

familiar with this term because right now

33:36

I counted this morning I follow five

33:38

people who floodlight constantly like on the

33:40

internet where you're just putting out like

33:42

it's just it's just so many details

33:44

and some of it it's like do

33:47

you are we intimate will you use

33:49

my affiliate link and it's just it's

33:51

a lot of anybody who cries on

33:53

the internet a lot like not like

33:55

once or twice or in the middle

33:58

of the story someone tears up I'm

34:00

talking about it like if people get

34:02

on and they're already they're pre-crying yeah

34:04

those are floodliders like those you didn't

34:06

have to record if you're crying you

34:09

could collect yourself you don't have you're

34:11

not obligated this is that doesn't get

34:13

you clicks knocks that doesn't get you

34:15

clicks this was fascinating to me because

34:17

it's my my one of my priorities

34:19

in 2025 is to learn what gas

34:22

lighting means and I felt like this

34:24

was getting closer to learning what gas

34:26

lighting is very true it's it's too

34:28

much truth right right like the idea

34:30

it kind of like the aspect aspect

34:33

of it because I was trying to

34:35

out the gate and it's basically like

34:37

can you can you keep up can

34:39

you be on my level here that's

34:41

right you able to do that and

34:44

if you are we can have this

34:46

really most people aren't like we got

34:48

this in the season of love is

34:50

blind because Madison she was accused of

34:52

flood lighting her potential partner because you

34:54

know there obviously it's a dating show

34:57

Alice not not our editor Madison that

34:59

I know that's right this is and

35:01

so Madison she was accused of trying

35:03

to do too much into Missy too

35:05

quick and she responded to that criticism

35:08

and said quote I know who I

35:10

am I know why I did what

35:12

I did and I don't think there

35:14

was any gameplay involved in any of

35:16

my choices no girl because you lost

35:18

like you didn't win like yeah there's

35:21

not really a winner and love is

35:23

one there's a winner like for influence

35:25

reasons although love is one was really

35:27

boring Let's see. What is, I'm asking

35:29

a question, I don't know the answer

35:32

to and I don't know anybody does.

35:34

What is, is Love and Blonde, Love

35:36

is Blind related to Montoya Porfavor at

35:38

all? Are these entirely different things? Wait,

35:40

what is Montoya Porfavor? It's some show,

35:43

I guess in Brathil, where like, essentially

35:45

what I understand is you watch your

35:47

significant other cheat on you and then

35:49

scream at a screen while they're doing

35:51

it. That's from Temptation Island to Spain.

35:53

That is to decide Brazil at all.

35:56

You really had to put the mustard

35:58

on Spain, huh? Well, no. I wanted

36:00

journalistic integrity. So is he talking, is

36:02

the cheater named Montoya? And so he's

36:04

like, Montoya? I think the host is,

36:07

I think the person watching the cheating

36:09

is Montoya. And the host is trying

36:11

to get Montoya to chill a big

36:13

one. So she keeps saying Montoya. And

36:15

then he takes off down the beach

36:18

chasing after his his cheating significant other

36:20

and she chases after him saying Montoya

36:22

Pover. Oh my gosh, but now there's

36:24

a song, there's an album called Montoya

36:26

Pover, which is the new song, Ukrainian

36:28

Pover, which is the new song, Ukrainian

36:31

song, Ukrainian song, Ukrainian Electro on Sodipai,

36:33

we'll include links to all of the

36:35

language. Yeah, we can figure it out.

36:37

Listen. Somebody's significant and others getting jack-hammered,

36:39

I think I understand what's going on

36:42

here in this story. So, the speakers

36:44

are very emotive, and so you can

36:46

usually get the vibes of like, this

36:48

is not going well, you know? Yeah,

36:50

they're very passionate. I don't know why

36:53

we're talking about that. Oh, because they,

36:55

you're asking lives on. No, Love Is

36:57

Blind is, it has been fun in

36:59

the past, because you know, it's just,

37:01

they're in pods, and they're talking to

37:03

each other, they're never really ugos. Okay.

37:06

And the only way this works is

37:08

if you have charismatic ugos. Like, I

37:10

need to be in a pod and

37:12

I'll make it if I fall in

37:14

love with me immediately. And then get

37:17

out and he's like, oh, okay, she's

37:19

short. Okay. Her head is big. Okay.

37:21

You got to mix it up. You

37:23

got to mix it up. Yeah. So

37:25

I'd research some other terms that were

37:27

strange relationship trends in 2025. Okay. And

37:30

here are a handful. Tell me if

37:32

you would smash them over flood lighting.

37:34

Flood lighting. Okay. So we have a

37:36

freak match. Some of these are kind

37:38

of intuitive. Freak matching. You're looking for

37:41

partner with shared, weird interest. Okay. Smash.

37:43

Yeah. Smash. Grim keeping. And this is

37:45

when you bond over shared dislike. Smash.

37:47

That's what Aaron and Mar Friendship is.

37:49

Yeah, well that's after 20 years of

37:52

marriage, the grim keeping, you get really

37:54

tied over grim keeping. You know? Yeah,

37:56

because you come home from an event,

37:58

you come home from an event, and

38:00

you're like, let's talk about it. Can

38:02

you believe how weird everyone is? Here's

38:05

how weird they are. You can do

38:07

grim keeping with just your eyes. That's

38:09

the best grim keeping. This is a

38:11

social media based tactic to attract someone

38:13

to you. Oh, I like yap trapping.

38:16

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because I did, I

38:18

sat on the plane with somebody where

38:20

I was like, he is like, I

38:22

was like, are we having a vibe?

38:24

Because he turned on my light for

38:27

me when I went to the bathroom

38:29

and he was like, I just thought

38:31

it was dark and you were reading.

38:33

I was like, oh, and then he

38:35

had on, guess what kind of socks

38:37

he had on Aaron, Mr. Mr. Oh

38:40

my gosh, what a lovely person. his

38:42

like screen saber or like his wallpaper

38:44

is like a pretty really pretty girl

38:46

and I was like I hate her

38:48

the audacity of like I can't imagine

38:51

getting on a plane and seeing a

38:53

person not even like a woman just

38:55

a person being like I'm gonna turn

38:57

your light on for you idiot that's

38:59

a little t-rex arms can't reach up

39:02

to touch your light he already knew

39:04

it he was like I can tell

39:06

you can't reach this I listen I

39:08

are y'all were you and you were

39:10

dating you were dating your current your

39:12

current That's not a prediction. But when

39:15

you were dating your spouses, were y'all

39:17

floodlighters? Because I'm a blackout girl. Like

39:19

there is no light. And then they're

39:21

still wondering, like, what's your deal? And

39:23

I'm like, don't worry about it. We're

39:26

having a good time. You don't need

39:28

details. Yeah, I think I think evangelicalism

39:30

really sets you up for floodlighting. They

39:32

like especially when you're like working in

39:34

a camp ministry. Is that why you

39:37

gave your husband a letter that you

39:39

wrote to him? Yeah, yeah, Jamie. That's

39:41

why I gave him a list of

39:43

things I wanted in a husband when

39:45

I was 12. But that's called pre-coidal

39:47

flood lighting FYI. So yeah, like you

39:50

gave him a letter of what you

39:52

wanted a husband right before he's. going

39:54

to do you down? Like I don't

39:56

know for the first time. Set that

39:58

bar high. I got expectations baby. Thank

40:01

you. Although to be fair you have

40:03

admitted I'll play the chase that no

40:05

one got down. D down. That's true.

40:07

That night. Because the letter because of

40:09

the letter. The letter may have may

40:11

have not been the right. She was

40:14

playing the long game. There's tons of

40:16

time to D down. You want to

40:18

be down immediately? If you've waited that

40:20

long, what's one more? What's one more?

40:22

A couple more hours. I'm sure that's

40:25

what the story he would tell. Yeah,

40:27

absolutely. What a hundred percent. There's also

40:29

nano ship, and this is a brief,

40:31

intense, romantic encounter like quibby. It's just

40:33

like, boom, and you're in and out.

40:36

Like that was a bad one. No,

40:38

I think I had one on the

40:40

plane. That was lovely. And then last

40:42

one. Okay. Okay. Okay, I'm going. I'm

40:44

going. I'm going. I'm going. And this

40:46

is a focus on sticking to your

40:49

values and boundaries in dating. Like that's

40:51

a, that's a weird. Is that just

40:53

being healthy? Like, yeah, like, is that

40:55

just going to therapy and you do

40:57

your, you follow instructions? They had a

41:00

real fun way to say it, though.

41:02

It's so itky. So, no, I don't

41:04

like that. No, pass that, pass. Smash

41:06

everything else. Yeah, it's great to know.

41:08

I love. Ladies

1:03:18

right, what is your red light? Okay,

1:03:21

my red light this week is whatever

1:03:23

is happening at airports. Okay, I have

1:03:25

beef and I don't have beef like

1:03:27

I'm yes am I grateful that I

1:03:29

like didn't die in a plane or

1:03:31

get like carcinogenic smoke in my lungs?

1:03:34

Yes, but that cannot be the bar.

1:03:36

Okay, so let me tell you what

1:03:38

happened. First of all, I was trying to

1:03:40

leave California. I'm just trying to get home

1:03:42

to the Oscars trying to work. You know

1:03:44

what I mean, it's been a there was

1:03:46

a parking delay literally they said hey the

1:03:49

planes parked it's been here for 90 minutes

1:03:51

we can't get it to the gate yeah can't get it

1:03:53

to the gate what do you mean we can't get it

1:03:55

to the gate the gate there are two open gates like

1:03:57

we can get it to the gate no we can't so

1:03:59

that's not minutes delayed then realizing that the

1:04:01

plant plane has been on the ground

1:04:03

for 90 minutes but nobody put fuel

1:04:06

in it and so now they're like

1:04:08

it's gonna take 20 minutes the by

1:04:10

we're on the plane now but I

1:04:12

was like it's gonna take 20 minutes

1:04:14

so if you have an idea stop

1:04:16

giving me minutes on how this is

1:04:18

gonna work because it feels like it's

1:04:20

not gonna go that's right then we

1:04:22

sit on the tarmac for 35 more

1:04:24

minutes in addition to the 20 and

1:04:26

finally the pilot comes on and goes

1:04:28

quote this is a direct quote he

1:04:30

goes we are being told there that

1:04:32

there are air traffic control issues but

1:04:34

I can't explain it because honestly it

1:04:36

doesn't make sense end quote okay now

1:04:39

I like the honest I do like

1:04:41

the honest you could tell he was

1:04:43

he was quite ticked off okay and

1:04:45

then I over here a man on

1:04:47

that flight out my way to Denver

1:04:49

asked the flight attendant if he's into

1:04:51

his wife and I'll tell you he

1:04:53

wasn't And that's only those two people

1:04:55

were meant to be together and not

1:04:57

have a third despite what I guess

1:04:59

what this guy was interested in. That

1:05:01

was weird. Then all of this admits

1:05:03

stress because guess what? I am going

1:05:05

to miss my connection. And I like

1:05:07

that we're all sitting on the tarmac

1:05:09

getting the text. Hey, you're going to

1:05:12

miss your connect. So we're all on

1:05:14

the phone thinking of, of course, no,

1:05:16

I can't, I'm on United. I will

1:05:18

not be able to get home. And

1:05:20

so I was like, that's going to

1:05:22

make Monday complicated. So I was like,

1:05:24

who can get me home? Who? Delta?

1:05:26

Southwest. Southwest. You had to do South

1:05:28

West. You know, that's not my preference.

1:05:30

Listen. But I will say this. I

1:05:32

was going to be stranded in Denver.

1:05:34

I will say it is a lovely

1:05:36

airport. it is except the apocalypse horses

1:05:38

that's right the inside they really made

1:05:40

it really nice however i now need

1:05:42

to get to a southwest terminal which

1:05:45

is a very different situation because we

1:05:47

are delayed so long i thought well

1:05:49

this flight leaves 90 minutes after my

1:05:51

original flight after my original flight no

1:05:53

that's not enough time i'm going to

1:05:55

have to run and here's the problem

1:05:57

with the Denver airport they're like we

1:05:59

will put 50 gates in one terminal

1:06:01

with no train yeah and so i

1:06:03

had to run 31 gates to then

1:06:05

get on a train to go to

1:06:07

the other terminal problem. I did get

1:06:09

on the said airport train and I

1:06:11

realized it doesn't loop. So what? It

1:06:13

does not leap. Why do why do

1:06:15

they not loop? They loop at other

1:06:18

airports, but this one did not leap.

1:06:20

And so when it came to the

1:06:22

end of the line, you got to

1:06:24

get off. And guess what? And go

1:06:26

where? To TSA security? No, to security

1:06:28

because I cannot get back in the

1:06:30

terminal. And they're like, oh no, you

1:06:32

have to go through TSA. I'm like,

1:06:34

I had to go upstairs. Go through

1:06:36

security like I haven't been here already.

1:06:38

Of course, there's water in my bottle.

1:06:40

And they're like, there's water in your

1:06:42

bottle? I know, but I need it.

1:06:44

I thought it looped. It doesn't looped.

1:06:46

And then I quickly go through TSA.

1:06:48

I have to then run another 29

1:06:51

gates. And guess what I learned? My

1:06:53

heart fitness has not been improved by

1:06:55

the 10 minutes. I spent on a

1:06:57

mini trampoline four times a week. What?

1:06:59

So your lymphatics are draining. on an

1:07:01

escalator and a moving sidewalk, you stand

1:07:03

on the right. You leave the left

1:07:05

open. But all these couples are just,

1:07:07

they're just, they're 18 bags and they're

1:07:09

just came back. And this guy in

1:07:11

the, guy in front of me who's

1:07:13

also running, he's like, move your, he's

1:07:15

so mad. And so we're running, I

1:07:17

do make it silver lining, me and

1:07:19

a ginger. Because I have learned if

1:07:21

you, if you do have to travel

1:07:24

on Southwest, you got to, by yourself,

1:07:26

you got to sit down, you got

1:07:28

to sit down early. that if they

1:07:30

go to the back there will be

1:07:32

more space. So I sat down in

1:07:34

the aisle, the redheads in the window,

1:07:36

listen, I, I, there is no man

1:07:38

on a subway that has spreaded like

1:07:40

I have man spreaded on this plane.

1:07:42

You will not want to sit next

1:07:44

to me. How do you do that?

1:07:46

Your legs don't touch the ground. No,

1:07:48

but I'm like, my arms are like,

1:07:50

I'm like manifesting myself to be one

1:07:52

just who has this larger already than

1:07:55

I am. Those things are tiny. What

1:07:57

are y'all doing? Right? What are y'all

1:07:59

doing on Southwest? Like, they're tiny in

1:08:01

the... since like there's no legroom the

1:08:03

guy in front of her reclined back

1:08:05

she couldn't bring the tray down and

1:08:07

this was a small lady where are

1:08:09

you out on on sea recliners I

1:08:11

feel very strongly that I don't think

1:08:13

that she should even recline on a

1:08:15

plane. I don't either. It's just asking

1:08:17

for conflict. Like don't do it. Yeah,

1:08:19

because of course the girl next to

1:08:21

me got really mad because she couldn't

1:08:23

put on her tray. So I was

1:08:25

like, well, we'll put down this tray

1:08:28

in the middle and it'll be our

1:08:30

mutual tray. Yeah. And so anyway, I'm

1:08:32

just saying I have issues with air

1:08:34

traffic control. There feels like there's not

1:08:36

enough people working in the airports working

1:08:38

in the airports anymore. And so that

1:08:40

we can't move planes and we can't

1:08:42

air traffic control and we can't. I

1:08:44

haven't heard that. I don't know about

1:08:46

that. I don't know about that. If

1:08:48

anyone knows, let me know. Feel free

1:08:50

to DM me if you know. I

1:08:52

feel like if, I don't want to

1:08:54

do this to pilots, but if if

1:08:56

you're delayed on a plane, they should

1:08:58

have to do like a Q&A, like

1:09:01

an AOA, you know, where they're answering

1:09:03

questions from the pastures from the passenger.

1:09:05

No, like no holds bar. Like no

1:09:07

holds bar. Like no holds bar. Like,

1:09:09

like, like, like, like, like, like, like

1:09:11

no holds bar, like, like, like, like,

1:09:13

like, tell us, tell us, tell us,

1:09:15

tell us, tell us, tell us, tell

1:09:17

us, tell us, tell us, Or Truth

1:09:19

or Dare, you know, you and you

1:09:21

make out, go. Somebody better move this

1:09:23

plane, you know. Yes, no, I love

1:09:25

that. Okay, what's your red light? My

1:09:27

red light, it's me, Jamie. I'm on

1:09:29

one red light. You know, I did

1:09:31

it again, like Brittany, not Tate McCray.

1:09:34

I had some bad things to say

1:09:36

about a little show on Netflix, starring

1:09:38

Kate Hudson, called Running Point. Uh-oh. And

1:09:40

then I, uh. So the Saturday morning,

1:09:42

like I was making breakfast and I

1:09:44

was going to fold some laundry. My

1:09:46

son came in, I was like, you

1:09:48

know, I'm going to flip this on

1:09:50

full laundry just so I can, I

1:09:52

can clock it. Like, yep, it sucks.

1:09:54

Just so I can be in the

1:09:56

know. Turn it on. Got started laughing

1:09:58

a little bit. I was like, it's

1:10:00

pretty funny. This isn't bad. And next

1:10:02

thing I know, I'm six episodes in,

1:10:04

I'm texting Jason and Jason and Jason

1:10:07

and Jason waterfalls. I'm like you got

1:10:09

to watch this and Jason and Jason

1:10:11

and Jason and Jason and Jason and

1:10:13

Jason Waterfalls. I'm like, I'm like, I'm

1:10:15

like, I'm like, I'm like, you got

1:10:17

to watch this and Jason and Jason

1:10:19

and Jason and Jason and Jason and

1:10:21

Jason and Jason and Jason and Jason

1:10:23

and Jason and Jason and Jason, I'm

1:10:25

like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,

1:10:27

I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I,

1:10:29

I'm like, the best so it's it's

1:10:31

based on genie bus the current owner

1:10:33

of the Lakers yes and I think

1:10:35

she's an executive producer on it as

1:10:37

long with like Linda Rambus or one

1:10:40

of the other, like her execs. Mindy

1:10:42

Kaling writes, Khausen stars obviously, but it's

1:10:44

loosely about Genie Bus's story. When they

1:10:46

talk basketball or do literally anything basketball,

1:10:48

it's cringy bad wrong. It's just like

1:10:50

they have Kate Hudson negotiating TV rights

1:10:52

in like two hours and normally that

1:10:54

takes like four years. So it's like

1:10:56

this is laughably wrong. But when it's

1:10:58

just the story and the characters in

1:11:00

the comedy, It is really really funny.

1:11:02

Kay Hudson's great. Scott MacArthur, he's like

1:11:04

a character, he's been in a few

1:11:06

things. He's incredible as her brother, the

1:11:08

GM, Brenda's song is amazing. Drew Tarver,

1:11:10

I had experienced him. What's the show?

1:11:13

The other one? Yeah, the other one.

1:11:15

He's great. I think you greenly that.

1:11:17

He was great in that. He is

1:11:19

so Jason Batemani. Oh really? I can't

1:11:21

even believe how, like it's like a,

1:11:23

like a, a younger version of Bateman

1:11:25

in this, he's not quite as good,

1:11:27

but he's so great. They've got, Max

1:11:29

Greenfield is used, do you remember like,

1:11:31

how Emily Blount was used in Oppenheimer,

1:11:33

which is like, she's here, but only

1:11:35

for like a specific thing, that's how

1:11:37

Max Greenfield is using the show, not

1:11:39

much, but it's kind of, What what

1:11:41

nobody wants this there's shades of nobody

1:11:44

wants this oh there's shades of like

1:11:46

the John C Riley showtime Lakers TV

1:11:48

show those on HBO But it's not

1:11:50

gonna like blow your mind how good

1:11:52

it is but it's definitely not a

1:11:54

red light so maybe I'll start short

1:11:56

of green lighting it but I really

1:11:58

okay so mini-caling was you know she

1:12:00

got her Hollywood Star of Walk of

1:12:02

Fame which again everybody you pay for

1:12:04

that. I mean she bought it. She

1:12:06

bought it. She bought it She bought

1:12:08

it and which everybody does so that's

1:12:10

not unique to her and it's smart

1:12:12

It's a good PR move, but her

1:12:14

you know how like when they do

1:12:17

that like they'll have like co-stars and

1:12:19

like friends that are at the event

1:12:21

She only had BJ know that and

1:12:23

he looked like a stepdad that never

1:12:25

wanted to have kids and didn't actually

1:12:27

want to leave his gaming set up.

1:12:29

He's at the Beta Club reduction. He

1:12:31

looks so bad. And then they were

1:12:33

at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. He

1:12:35

also looked at that. And she looks

1:12:37

so stunning. It makes me mad. I

1:12:39

want her to be with somebody like

1:12:41

really famous and hot. And it's just

1:12:43

there's BJ. It's very disappointing. But I'm

1:12:45

glad for Mindy. Make that bank. The

1:12:47

swag is back for me with her.

1:12:50

I've been doubting her for me with

1:12:52

her. He's not bad. He's just playing

1:12:54

Chet Hanks as a basketball player, so

1:12:56

it's not like a stretch. But you

1:12:58

know who's amazing? Used very sparingly, but

1:13:00

amazing Justin Thoreau. Because he's one of

1:13:02

the brothers, right? He's one of the

1:13:04

brothers. Yeah. He has a little bit

1:13:06

of a crack habit and he runs

1:13:08

over some Danish tourists. So he has

1:13:10

to be supplanted from his job. Amazing.

1:13:12

It's just amazing stuff from Justin Thoreau.

1:13:14

So that's my red light. What is

1:13:16

your green light this week? Okay, so

1:13:18

I have two green lights. One's an

1:13:20

old school green light because it's women's

1:13:23

history month if you don't know and

1:13:25

I'm a lady in everyone studies degree.

1:13:27

So I wanted to recommend a great

1:13:29

little book that you can read. I

1:13:31

mean, when I said little 65 pages.

1:13:33

Nogazi Adici. And this is, she did

1:13:35

a tech talk, it went viral. So

1:13:37

she kind of expanded it a little

1:13:39

bit, but I like that she was

1:13:41

like, I'm not going to expand it

1:13:43

much. Like let's just use 65 pages.

1:13:45

But this is so good because this

1:13:47

book is so good because it has

1:13:49

so much levity in it. And sometimes

1:13:51

you have to have a levity about

1:13:53

the hard things in life, which misogyny

1:13:56

is one of them and the patriarchy.

1:13:58

And so she does a great light

1:14:00

because she talks about blatant discrimination. marginalization

1:14:02

of women in really unique ways that

1:14:04

maybe we often don't think about. And

1:14:06

so I highly recommend it. That's the

1:14:08

first thing. If you're looking for something,

1:14:10

you know, you're like, well, I want

1:14:12

to add something to my TDR for

1:14:14

women's history month. That's my recommendation. And

1:14:16

then my other thing, I realize I

1:14:18

was thinking about this this week randomly.

1:14:20

No reason. And I was thinking about

1:14:22

you. and I realized I had never

1:14:24

green lit, like officially, because I went

1:14:26

to our green lights, which you can

1:14:29

too, not so too, butcom slash green

1:14:31

lights. And I realized I'd never officially

1:14:33

green lit the documentary 20 Days in

1:14:35

Mario Ball. And I regret that, because

1:14:37

I was like, well, no, I want

1:14:39

you to know. So this won the

1:14:41

Oscar for Best Documentary. last year and

1:14:43

you can watch it on YouTube because

1:14:45

PBS is the distributor and so you

1:14:47

can watch it on YouTube and this

1:14:49

was a team this was from the

1:14:51

Associated Press a team of journalists who

1:14:53

are Ukrainian they are trapped in for

1:14:55

20 days in Maripul, and they are

1:14:57

struggling to kind of document what's happening

1:14:59

in this Russian invasion. And they are

1:15:02

the only international reporters that were remaining

1:15:04

in this city as forces close in,

1:15:06

and they tell the story. And it's

1:15:08

so beautifully done, and it gives you

1:15:10

an insight to obviously a word that

1:15:12

is continuing to this day, but it's

1:15:14

such a profound documentary, and I highly

1:15:16

recommend it. I was thinking about it.

1:15:18

We talk about this in the Morino.

1:15:20

the Oscar that went for Best Doc

1:15:22

no other land, the documentary feature, has

1:15:24

no distributor. So like you can't even

1:15:26

watch it. They only were in the

1:15:28

Oscars because they did a week long,

1:15:30

a required run in a New York

1:15:33

theater. And so you can't even get

1:15:35

a distributor for that because these kind

1:15:37

of documentaries are, people don't want to

1:15:39

attach their name to it because it

1:15:41

feels controversial. And so this is a

1:15:43

great one that you can access and

1:15:45

that you can watch. So I highly,

1:15:47

highly, highly recommend it. I mentioned it

1:15:49

earlier. My Green Light is the book

1:15:51

Lorn by Susan Morrison. Essentially, she spends

1:15:53

several years kind of shadowing Lord Michael's.

1:15:55

And the book itself, it's one of

1:15:57

my favorite biographies I've ever read. It's

1:15:59

really compelling. I mentioned it earlier. She

1:16:01

goes back and talks about childhood, like

1:16:03

upbringing and everything, how he's Lorn Lipowitz.

1:16:06

and his wanting, like the tension of

1:16:08

wanting to be a Canadian. and son

1:16:10

in like good in Canada, but also

1:16:12

knowing the Hollywood's calling him and feeling

1:16:14

a knack for it. But they, she

1:16:16

transposes that or I guess puts that

1:16:18

up against like him now. And when

1:16:20

I say now, I think it was

1:16:22

2017 was when she does like the

1:16:24

day in the life of episode of

1:16:26

S&L. and she talks about how like

1:16:28

his involvement and what that means to

1:16:30

put a show together. I've always loved

1:16:32

S&L. I've kind of been a little

1:16:34

bit of a student of the oral

1:16:36

histories and interviews and all that stuff

1:16:39

and there's so much I didn't know,

1:16:41

so much I've never heard. So there's

1:16:43

tons of anecdotes from cast members, there's

1:16:45

tons of anecdotes from friends of Lorn

1:16:47

Michaels and there's so much insight on

1:16:49

what he does. for each episode and

1:16:51

where he is, the notes he gives,

1:16:53

the different momentums and the different kinds

1:16:55

of content that he likes and the

1:16:57

reasons to some of his choices. If

1:16:59

you're all interested in S&L, it's a

1:17:01

fascinating look at how that's put on,

1:17:03

but if you're not that interested in

1:17:05

S&L, it is a fascinating profile biography

1:17:07

of probably the most important media figure

1:17:09

of a generation yeah for sure in

1:17:12

terms of what he's done with NBC

1:17:14

and just the rise and fall and

1:17:16

rise and fall of S&L again and

1:17:18

again and Lord Michael's positioning within NBC

1:17:20

but just I think it's worth the

1:17:22

price of mission just for Anecdotes and

1:17:24

Conversations with Tina Faye, with Chevy Chase,

1:17:26

with Bill Hater, Chris O'Wig, Wolfiero, the

1:17:28

whole thing, you get the whole gamut

1:17:30

of it. And it was a great

1:17:32

read off S&L 50, but so interesting,

1:17:34

so fascinating, a look at. Okay, I

1:17:36

can't wait to read it. Yeah, definitely

1:17:38

check it out. I think probably my

1:17:40

favorite biographies of all-time are shoe dog

1:17:42

and this now. Oh, those are good.

1:17:45

Because shoe dog. Incredible, incredible stuff. Okay,

1:17:47

that's going to do it for this

1:17:49

episode of the podcast and prefer to

1:17:51

go over any time you do shopping

1:17:53

on Amazon. Make sure to go to

1:17:55

amazon.com/shop slash. pop this first, you end

1:17:57

up with a pooze or for link,

1:17:59

I provide them this is

1:18:01

a downloading what So

1:18:03

this has this is a tall,

1:18:05

reviews. It's 4 .4

1:18:07

has So it's highly

1:18:09

recommended. reviews, that stars, so

1:18:11

it's highly not love it as

1:18:13

much. They did give and reviews. did not it

1:18:16

basic issues are reviews, not their not big enough.

1:18:18

are, they're Richard highlighted that, highlighted that, you know,

1:18:20

if your isn't rock solid, you end up

1:18:22

with a a poopy mess. And it's like, well, it's it's Wait,

1:18:24

it's dog poop. And dog poop. And then like, was

1:18:26

like, doesn't hold enough. I have five

1:18:28

dogs and I needed to hold all of

1:18:30

it. I I don't think you need

1:18:32

five dogs. And I don't think you need

1:18:35

to walk them at at the same time.

1:18:37

I just don't think you need do that. So that's me. All
