00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:28,820
Hello dear listeners!

3
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:29,820
Welcome back!

4
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:33,140
We are back to the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast.

5
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:37,800
This is going to be an exciting episode for the Pop Culture Junkies.

6
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,140
Starting things off, I am Shauna and I am joined by my usual Junkie.

7
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:44,140
Nicole.

8
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:52,740
And it is my honor and pleasure to introduce all of you to our newest junkie, Olivia

9
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:53,740
Rodi.

10
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:55,740
We're excited to have you.

11
00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:56,740
Awesome.

12
00:00:56,740 --> 00:01:01,060
I am so excited to be here with you guys today.

13
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:02,060
And forever more.

14
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:04,460
You're not going anywhere.

15
00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:08,940
Shauna knows I am quite hard to get rid of.

16
00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:12,060
I am just just latching on after all these years.

17
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:16,900
I thought I had been trying to give a rash.

18
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:17,900
I am just kidding.

19
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:18,900
You are a lovely rash.

20
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:19,900
Yeah.

21
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:20,900
A welcome rash.

22
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:23,900
I don't know if there is a welcome rash.

23
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,980
Well, we'll take that as my intro.

24
00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:32,860
Shauna would describe me as a welcome rash amongst pop culture.

25
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:39,020
Really here to give you all the CD conspiracy, all the blind items and the things they don't

26
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:40,020
want to print.

27
00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:42,580
But yeah, I am really excited to be here.

28
00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:48,980
Shauna and I are both big, Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans.

29
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:49,980
Anything true blood.

30
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:54,660
And, you know, slowly but surely I have convinced her to become a Swiftie, but she won't tell

31
00:01:54,660 --> 00:01:55,660
you that.

32
00:01:55,660 --> 00:01:58,740
I'm not sure if I'm going to take the title of Swiftie on yet.

33
00:01:58,740 --> 00:01:59,740
I'm like, "Swiftie Light."

34
00:01:59,740 --> 00:02:00,740
I'm like the Diet Coke.

35
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:04,420
I'm like, "You're engaging with the idea of it."

36
00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:07,820
I am flirting with being a Swiftie.

37
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:12,620
And then I'm going to convince you to be a little monster and get you on that Gaga train.

38
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:13,620
I think you could do that.

39
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:14,620
I think you could do that.

40
00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:18,020
I like enough, you know, drag shows.

41
00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:20,380
We love a performance in this household.

42
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:23,380
So, you know, ultimate performer.

43
00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:27,020
We love the guys here, popular, gentle, fast, fast.

44
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:29,980
Absolutely, absolutely.

45
00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:35,860
So I know a lot about you because we are best friends.

46
00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:39,860
That's easy.

47
00:02:39,860 --> 00:02:44,020
But to everybody else listening and Nicole, what else are you into?

48
00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:48,900
What kind of shows do you like to watch besides Buffy and Taylor's?

49
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,100
Who else do you listen to?

50
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:52,100
Yeah.

51
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:58,300
So, you know, I would say quite a hodgepodge of different things, you know, when I was younger.

52
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:02,700
I was really quite a Josie and the Pussycats girl.

53
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:07,340
If you know, you know, that album is absolutely iconic.

54
00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:13,580
Most people I think would describe me as a horror movie obsessed, true crime lover.

55
00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:18,740
And then really just like quirky conspiracy theory girl here, you know, none of the harmful

56
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:19,740
stuff.

57
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:23,540
We don't need to go down a rabbit hole of Q and on.

58
00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:30,540
But like the fun ones like Avril LeBene is a clone or those really silly ones where you

59
00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:32,820
can have fun and get lost in it.

60
00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:39,900
But overall, I would say anything witchy, anything spooky, and anything just gossip related.

61
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:42,860
Because you know, a girl loves to gossip.

62
00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:43,860
Yes.

63
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:47,260
Nicole is our tree prime junkie here too.

64
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:48,740
Oh my gosh.

65
00:03:48,740 --> 00:03:50,860
I could talk forever without him.

66
00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:52,660
You're probably better than I am at it.

67
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:55,860
I'm not like an expert, but I enjoy it.

68
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:00,900
I just am like, so chronically online and I work from home.

69
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:06,980
And so because of that, it's truly like I just cannot not listen to like YouTube things

70
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:08,980
and things like that.

71
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:15,100
We had a whole episode years ago to dedicate it to like conspiracy theories.

72
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:19,020
And one of them was the Avril LeBene has been replaced one.

73
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:23,820
And then we had, you know, that two-pock is alive on an island.

74
00:04:23,820 --> 00:04:27,020
Do you remember any of the other ones we had Nicole?

75
00:04:27,020 --> 00:04:28,020
Yeah.

76
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:29,820
Mine was Michael Jackson's still alive.

77
00:04:29,820 --> 00:04:30,820
Yes.

78
00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:36,740
It's always like an Elvis is still alive, like Princess Diana's still alive.

79
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:40,740
I liked the Katy Perry and a JonBenet Ramsay are the same person.

80
00:04:40,740 --> 00:04:42,740
That's interesting.

81
00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:45,500
That one is actually really crazy.

82
00:04:45,500 --> 00:04:47,980
Whenever you get into it, you're like, wait, what?

83
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:50,740
You don't like tipping like this is bullshit.

84
00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:52,740
And then by being like, wait a minute.

85
00:04:52,740 --> 00:04:53,740
So you caw.

86
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:56,740
No, I mean she did hate her parents, baby.

87
00:04:56,740 --> 00:04:59,780
Like, you never know.

88
00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:01,740
That's, yeah, that's pretty crazy.

89
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:03,860
What's another one?

90
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:06,860
Britney Spears is dead for sure.

91
00:05:06,860 --> 00:05:08,340
Sean is a big believer in that.

92
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:13,020
I got Sean to down this rabbit hole and then I just was like, I can't do it anymore.

93
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:14,580
No, I think she's dead.

94
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:18,180
I am deep in Britney TikTok for sure.

95
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:19,180
I just saw this one.

96
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:20,380
I'm sure you seen it too.

97
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:23,420
It's like where she's like moving her hands in front of her face.

98
00:05:23,420 --> 00:05:26,780
And you could see her face completely changed and they're like, yeah, there's an AI filter

99
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:27,780
on her.

100
00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:29,020
Like, it's a green screen behind her.

101
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:33,580
Like, the yellow color is in the background completely moved out of the frame and pictured

102
00:05:33,580 --> 00:05:34,580
doesn't even move at all.

103
00:05:34,580 --> 00:05:36,980
It's like, okay, I believe she's dead.

104
00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:37,980
I do.

105
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:44,500
The follow up to that is someone super imposed Jamie Lynn on the part where like the eyes

106
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:47,900
change and it looks exactly like her.

107
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:50,580
Sean, I said to you, I don't think you're going to be able to do it.

108
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:51,580
Yeah, you did.

109
00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:52,580
Okay.

110
00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:55,020
I said a shocked emoji like, oh, okay.

111
00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:57,540
But yeah, I was like, I was deep.

112
00:05:57,540 --> 00:05:59,300
It like brought me back in.

113
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:04,380
But, you know, one of the things I also love is really like tarot as well and like anything

114
00:06:04,380 --> 00:06:05,380
witchy.

115
00:06:05,380 --> 00:06:10,140
And so there's this celebrity pop culture readers names and for Dirty.

116
00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:13,220
And he does all these readings that end up coming true.

117
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:16,060
And he is like a giant Brittany fan.

118
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:17,780
And so he did one.

119
00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:24,660
And basically he was like, it's more so that she's like trying to like ruin her image so

120
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,980
people can't like make money off of her.

121
00:06:26,980 --> 00:06:28,380
That was like his reading of it.

122
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:29,980
But I thought that was really interesting.

123
00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:31,820
You know what?

124
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:36,860
I can totally see that because I'm not convinced that she's dead.

125
00:06:36,860 --> 00:06:43,500
Like I think it has heard dancing in the videos, but I think that they were all shot probably

126
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,140
at the same time and a long time ago.

127
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:49,340
The show post, like the same video over and over again.

128
00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:52,700
And like the same outfit doing, I don't know, it's weird.

129
00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:55,260
And then she'll post them like weeks later.

130
00:06:55,260 --> 00:07:01,980
So I don't think she's dead, but I think that she's purposefully kind of posting weird shit.

131
00:07:01,980 --> 00:07:02,980
I don't know.

132
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:04,660
She doesn't want anyone to have control over it.

133
00:07:04,660 --> 00:07:09,660
And so she's like fine, I'll just host things that people think I'm too cute for coca-pops

134
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:10,660
for.

135
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:11,660
Mm-hmm.

136
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:15,860
One of the crazy things that I didn't really realize this at the time.

137
00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:21,260
So like when Frubert me first started, the initial beginning of it is she was like twirling

138
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:22,260
and something like that.

139
00:07:22,260 --> 00:07:23,580
And she has a hat.

140
00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:29,300
And whenever she goes to put the hat on her head, there's like a tiny, tiny little help me

141
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:30,620
on the hat.

142
00:07:30,620 --> 00:07:35,260
And so that was, people saw that years and years and years ago.

143
00:07:35,260 --> 00:07:38,260
And then it started the actual Frubert movement.

144
00:07:38,260 --> 00:07:43,580
So it is kind of like, oh my gosh, she's actually sending its messages through these things,

145
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:44,580
right?

146
00:07:44,580 --> 00:07:49,940
And so when you think about that and really look at it, it's like, okay, well she knows

147
00:07:49,940 --> 00:07:52,300
that she can send signals this way.

148
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:55,020
And that her fans are going to watch and take it apart.

149
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:56,020
Yeah.

150
00:07:56,020 --> 00:08:02,140
Yeah, but I mean, if you could drugged on lithium for more than like six months, sans 13 years,

151
00:08:02,140 --> 00:08:05,380
you know, your brain's going to be messed up, right?

152
00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:08,020
Like your brain isn't the same.

153
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:10,540
You've just ruined it, you know?

154
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:12,860
So she's got that going on in trauma.

155
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:17,780
And then it's also like, is there like this secret message she's sending as well?

156
00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:23,740
But the three of us need to like get together and find Brittany and solve this mystery.

157
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:28,140
You guys are going to be like the pop culture junkie mystery machine.

158
00:08:28,140 --> 00:08:29,140
Yeah.

159
00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:30,620
I love that.

160
00:08:30,620 --> 00:08:36,940
One, one really popular one as well that a lot of people aren't as aware of is the free

161
00:08:36,940 --> 00:08:38,460
band movement as well.

162
00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:43,180
So you've probably seen a lot of like news stories of like, bam losing his mind on his

163
00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:46,220
family members and he's broken out of rehab.

164
00:08:46,220 --> 00:08:48,460
Bambarger, yeah, from Jackass.

165
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:53,620
And so he's had a lot of the same like really Britney treatment where it's like, he's crazy.

166
00:08:53,620 --> 00:09:00,140
He's like all this stuff, but it's come out that his family has been abusing his conservatorship

167
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:01,140
as well.

168
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:04,940
How did he get into the conservatorship in the first place?

169
00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:05,940
Yeah.

170
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:12,100
So when Ryan done a from Jackass died, bam went into like a deep alcoholism.

171
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:14,780
So like he did need treatment, right?

172
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:15,780
Yeah.

173
00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:21,340
They put him into treatment and then, you know, over time, they put him into a conservatorship

174
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:23,380
and they just kept putting him in.

175
00:09:23,380 --> 00:09:27,860
They made him spend like $600,000 on rehab in the last 18 months.

176
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:28,860
That is own money.

177
00:09:28,860 --> 00:09:29,860
It's, yes.

178
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:30,860
She does.

179
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:31,860
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

180
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:36,260
I'll have to do like a deep dive one day of like the whole thing, but there is a lot

181
00:09:36,260 --> 00:09:44,300
of this like TMZ calling these people crazy when like it's, it's who's puppeteering

182
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,620
that message for them ultimately.

183
00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:47,620
Absolutely.

184
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:51,580
Yeah, that pisses me off so much when we just kind of have this so and so crazy and man

185
00:09:51,580 --> 00:09:57,980
defines this crazy and like she obviously needs help you guys like just calling her out

186
00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:02,260
for the goofy shit that she's doing and like, you know, I'm not going to put myself on a pedestal

187
00:10:02,260 --> 00:10:04,580
when I see she's wandering the streets and make it.

188
00:10:04,580 --> 00:10:05,820
I'll read those articles too.

189
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:07,500
Like what is going on?

190
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,700
But yeah, at the end of the day, I mean, it's like Aaron Carter.

191
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:16,980
He obviously needed a lot of help, but all we did was just kind of pick him apart about.

192
00:10:16,980 --> 00:10:17,980
Oh my gosh.

193
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:22,020
Did you watch that new documentary on Hulu about him?

194
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:25,540
Yeah, I thought yes.

195
00:10:25,540 --> 00:10:31,660
Oh, it's, it was actually done in pretty well taste, I think, but yeah, it was just really

196
00:10:31,660 --> 00:10:32,660
sad.

197
00:10:32,660 --> 00:10:37,820
They gave him his flowers quite a bit of like you were able to like pave the way for like

198
00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:44,020
a Justin Bieber and all this stuff, but they did talk about the House of Carter's episode

199
00:10:44,020 --> 00:10:50,740
where like him and Nick got super physical and just kind of like the improper home life

200
00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:53,620
but he really had and how he didn't stand a chance.

201
00:10:53,620 --> 00:10:56,860
But man, I'm going to have to add that to my watch list.

202
00:10:56,860 --> 00:10:57,860
It was good.

203
00:10:57,860 --> 00:10:58,860
It was good.

204
00:10:58,860 --> 00:11:00,700
So what else have you guys been watching this week?

205
00:11:00,700 --> 00:11:05,500
Nicole, have you been bingeing anything new or what's taken up your time this week?

206
00:11:05,500 --> 00:11:08,140
Gosh, I feel like I haven't been watching very much.

207
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:09,860
I've just been watching sports.

208
00:11:09,860 --> 00:11:12,220
It's playoff season for hockey and basketball.

209
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:14,340
Yeah, it goes on.

210
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:20,260
Yeah, and but I have been keeping up weekly bit the real houseways of New Jersey.

211
00:11:20,260 --> 00:11:22,460
That's like the one show that I will watch.

212
00:11:22,460 --> 00:11:24,460
It's kind of crazy.

213
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:25,740
A lot has been happening.

214
00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:28,100
I don't even know where to start.

215
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:33,820
Teresa, if you know, you know, she is a different kind of crazy than what we were just

216
00:11:33,820 --> 00:11:34,820
talking about.

217
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:39,860
She just is manipulative and tries to make everyone else look bad when she's the one in the

218
00:11:39,860 --> 00:11:40,860
wrong.

219
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:42,700
But nothing's going to change.

220
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:46,900
She's been on the show for the beginning and she's been the same ever since.

221
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:52,180
But do you think her sister is actually going to end up leaving?

222
00:11:52,180 --> 00:11:58,340
Because there are sprue members that they're saying that they don't think they can film anymore.

223
00:11:58,340 --> 00:11:59,340
Melissa?

224
00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:01,340
Yeah, after the reunion.

225
00:12:01,340 --> 00:12:02,340
I guess there was a bit.

226
00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:04,060
I could see them not coming back.

227
00:12:04,060 --> 00:12:10,180
I could see that either like Bravo, not I mean, as much as Teresa makes the show, I could see

228
00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:13,060
them like not giving her a contract or I could see Melissa leaving.

229
00:12:13,060 --> 00:12:15,180
I could see one of them definitely not coming back.

230
00:12:15,180 --> 00:12:16,180
Did they get like a fist fight?

231
00:12:16,180 --> 00:12:18,180
Are you going to say something?

232
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:19,180
I don't know.

233
00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:20,180
We don't know yet.

234
00:12:20,180 --> 00:12:21,180
They mean having a contract.

235
00:12:21,180 --> 00:12:22,180
Yeah, but they said it's like Eric yet?

236
00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:25,620
No, but they said this is like the worst reunion that's ever happened.

237
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:29,260
Or that one that has flipped tables.

238
00:12:29,260 --> 00:12:32,260
So if it's the worst she's ever been like she's saying.

239
00:12:32,260 --> 00:12:38,540
Who amongst us hasn't flipped Jesus flipped tables?

240
00:12:38,540 --> 00:12:39,540
It's cool.

241
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:40,540
It happened.

242
00:12:40,540 --> 00:12:44,740
Jesus, I think Jesus was building the tables, but.

243
00:12:44,740 --> 00:12:48,100
No, look it up in the Bible, Olivia.

244
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:50,100
Jesus flipped the tables.

245
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:53,340
It's the yesified version of Jesus who stayed.

246
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:57,380
So basically Jesus would have fitted with the real housewives.

247
00:12:57,380 --> 00:12:58,380
Got it.

248
00:12:58,380 --> 00:12:59,380
Perfect.

249
00:12:59,380 --> 00:13:04,300
Every time I think of Teresa, I just think of a South Park episode where she's like,

250
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:05,300
"Yemeth Gavage."

251
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:08,500
That one's so good.

252
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:12,300
I'd probably see no one even though you're not a real housewives.

253
00:13:12,300 --> 00:13:14,300
I'm so behind on.

254
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:15,300
So far.

255
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:16,300
It's always.

256
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:17,300
It's always so far.

257
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:18,300
I know.

258
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:21,700
It makes me like I haven't watched a new episode since college.

259
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:24,340
Like me and Jessica used to binge it in college.

260
00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:27,780
And then it was like, I don't like that low-brow humor.

261
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:29,020
That's a terrible and it was.

262
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:31,340
I just see like, "Oh, come on.

263
00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:34,100
Kim and I watch all of the same shows.

264
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:35,100
We do.

265
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:36,100
Except for what I'm doing."

266
00:13:36,100 --> 00:13:37,100
That was a trap.

267
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:38,100
That was a trap.

268
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:39,100
I'm not falling for this.

269
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:40,100
I knew what he liked.

270
00:13:40,100 --> 00:13:41,100
It was just Pokemon.

271
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:42,100
That is it.

272
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:43,100
One drag interest.

273
00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:44,100
Oh, and drag bossy.

274
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:45,100
And drag bugling.

275
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:46,100
You know, it's a little too in the gutter forum.

276
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:47,100
He like says other part to dance.

277
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:57,100
I've been watching a lot lately.

278
00:13:57,100 --> 00:13:58,100
You see here.

279
00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:03,420
Okay, so one show that I have been binging, because we do watch a lot of the same shows.

280
00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:07,100
So sometimes when he's not home, I'm like, "I need like a Shawna show."

281
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,380
So I started love and death with Elizabeth Olsen.

282
00:14:10,380 --> 00:14:11,380
It was a good--

283
00:14:11,380 --> 00:14:12,380
It was a good--

284
00:14:12,380 --> 00:14:13,380
Yes.

285
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:15,540
I'm a huge Christian Ritter fan.

286
00:14:15,540 --> 00:14:17,820
She's probably one of my favorite actresses.

287
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:20,180
She's got a small part in it.

288
00:14:20,180 --> 00:14:24,820
But it is based on a true story of this woman named Handy.

289
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:32,660
She's in Texas, and she is a church-going lady, and she sings in the choir, and one of her

290
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:35,300
good friends is married to this guy, Alan.

291
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:39,060
Handy approaches Alan and just goes, "I found you very attractive."

292
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:43,060
Would you like to have an affair?

293
00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:46,980
Oh, did you see my other ones?

294
00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:47,980
There's for some reason.

295
00:14:47,980 --> 00:14:52,340
They've made like three of the-- in the same year of the same story.

296
00:14:52,340 --> 00:14:54,220
Yeah, with Jessica Beale.

297
00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:56,500
And that one's just called "Pandy."

298
00:14:56,500 --> 00:14:58,900
I haven't watched that one.

299
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:03,820
It's a true story, so I mean, I guess kind of spoilers, but literally this is based on a true

300
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:05,820
story.

301
00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:12,840
Candy ends up-- I guess, okay, spoiler alert, if you don't want to know what happens in this

302
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,940
actual crime that happened like 30 years ago.

303
00:15:14,940 --> 00:15:17,460
You sound like I'm dead.

304
00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:19,460
We do that so much on this show.

305
00:15:19,460 --> 00:15:23,460
Well, we halfway through, like, talk, spoil something, and then we'll be like, "Oh, wait,

306
00:15:23,460 --> 00:15:26,300
actually, by the way, spoiler alert."

307
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:29,580
Candy kills Alan's wife with an axe.

308
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:31,580
She hacks this bitch.

309
00:15:31,580 --> 00:15:32,580
Lily Borden.

310
00:15:32,580 --> 00:15:34,900
Yes, she hacks her butt.

311
00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:38,060
It's self-defense, maybe.

312
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:43,100
But yeah, I would definitely pop love and death.

313
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,260
Every episode is very well-acted.

314
00:15:45,260 --> 00:15:46,660
The set pieces are really cool.

315
00:15:46,660 --> 00:15:48,060
Set in the 70s.

316
00:15:48,060 --> 00:15:49,540
The costumes are amazing.

317
00:15:49,540 --> 00:15:51,420
Elizabeth Olson is just a powerhouse.

318
00:15:51,420 --> 00:15:54,100
But yeah, the whole cast is really great.

319
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:57,620
I've also been watching very weak to heat.

320
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:04,420
That's one of those shows where we always enjoy it, but it never really blows my mind.

321
00:16:04,420 --> 00:16:07,260
I'm never like, "Oh, my God, I can't wait for the next episode of Fairy."

322
00:16:07,260 --> 00:16:09,820
We're always sitting down and we're like, "Oh, yeah, Fairy's new.

323
00:16:09,820 --> 00:16:10,820
Let's watch it."

324
00:16:10,820 --> 00:16:11,820
It's the last season.

325
00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:14,460
Bill Hader is great as usual.

326
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:20,060
They're trying to-- I don't know how they're going to wrap this shit up because very easy,

327
00:16:20,060 --> 00:16:23,020
they're going to go back to J.O.L. or "He has to die."

328
00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:25,180
I don't know how they're going to do this.

329
00:16:25,180 --> 00:16:27,380
But I'm going to pop that.

330
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:30,860
And then the last show that I want to mention, I'm sorry.

331
00:16:30,860 --> 00:16:33,500
I'm so much TV.

332
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,180
I should be on a podcast where I could talk about this show.

333
00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:37,180
Wow.

334
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:43,420
Every time I think about Bill Hader, now I think of Rachel Bilsen saying she never had an orgasm

335
00:16:43,420 --> 00:16:45,140
until she was with them.

336
00:16:45,140 --> 00:16:50,180
Now I'm like, "Bill Hader's just got to get a dick you down."

337
00:16:50,180 --> 00:16:52,700
I feel like Bill Hader has a big dick energy for sure.

338
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:54,700
I could see them having a trousers.

339
00:16:54,700 --> 00:16:57,940
Oh, I mean, Rachel Bilsen just confirmed it.

340
00:16:57,940 --> 00:16:58,940
Yeah.

341
00:16:58,940 --> 00:16:59,940
We want to-- he's funny.

342
00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:00,940
And he has a big dick.

343
00:17:00,940 --> 00:17:01,940
We'll take it.

344
00:17:01,940 --> 00:17:03,940
We are going to take it.

345
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:04,940
We stand.

346
00:17:04,940 --> 00:17:07,180
And he's like media-- he's like media, Mockley.

347
00:17:07,180 --> 00:17:11,420
We're like, you're not like, "Uh, like he's not great, but like he's not a--."

348
00:17:11,420 --> 00:17:15,620
So I'm sketches in SNL where I'm like, "Oh, Bill Hader can get it."

349
00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:21,060
And then I watch Barry and I'm like, "Oh, I mean, he can still get it."

350
00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:24,580
But like, I'm not going to show my friends his picture afterwards and be like, "Look,

351
00:17:24,580 --> 00:17:25,580
what's that?"

352
00:17:25,580 --> 00:17:30,100
You're not bragging on that?

353
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:31,940
I'm not going to brag on it.

354
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:34,540
Only if he consented.

355
00:17:34,540 --> 00:17:39,460
If he consented to me showing my friends a picture of his big trousers, Nick.

356
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:42,460
But yes, I would show it to you guys.

357
00:17:42,460 --> 00:17:45,460
Honestly, Haley leaves and this turns to like a redid ex-pot.

358
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:46,460
I know.

359
00:17:46,460 --> 00:17:50,460
The minute Haley leaves, we're like, "We're crazy.

360
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:51,460
You trousers, say."

361
00:17:51,460 --> 00:17:52,460
You know what?

362
00:17:52,460 --> 00:17:53,460
No.

363
00:17:53,460 --> 00:17:57,460
When Haley was on the show, I literally said, "Which muppets face do you want to sit on?"

364
00:17:57,460 --> 00:17:59,460
So that's a crazy--

365
00:17:59,460 --> 00:18:01,460
I was like, "Oh, then you said--."

366
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:02,460
"Oh, gone so."

367
00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,460
He's gone so, yes.

368
00:18:04,460 --> 00:18:05,460
No, he's but the--

369
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:06,460
The--

370
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:07,460
Yes.

371
00:18:07,460 --> 00:18:09,460
He's not one, yes.

372
00:18:09,460 --> 00:18:11,460
So who's better at looking?

373
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:13,460
Pete Davidson or Bill Hader?

374
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:15,460
Oh, Pete Davidson, for sure.

375
00:18:15,460 --> 00:18:16,460
Absolutely.

376
00:18:16,460 --> 00:18:18,460
I think Pete Davidson is so hot.

377
00:18:18,460 --> 00:18:21,460
We have an episode about that, too.

378
00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:25,460
I mean, I think Pete Davidson's hot is hot.

379
00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:28,460
Looks hot because he looks like Hilt Row in my life.

380
00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:31,460
Like, maybe that's what I just want a little chaos.

381
00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:32,460
I get energy.

382
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:35,460
But like, Bill Hader looks like he's like, "Rap, you want a hot, you know?"

383
00:18:35,460 --> 00:18:36,460
Just like--

384
00:18:36,460 --> 00:18:37,460
That's true.

385
00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:38,460
I need to be like--

386
00:18:38,460 --> 00:18:41,460
Bill Hader would make love to you.

387
00:18:41,460 --> 00:18:44,460
Well, Pete Davidson would just dig you down.

388
00:18:44,460 --> 00:18:45,460
Yeah.

389
00:18:45,460 --> 00:18:47,460
What do you think, Nicole?

390
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:48,460
Neither.

391
00:18:48,460 --> 00:18:51,460
I should just take it your good.

392
00:18:51,460 --> 00:18:53,460
Who is later just--

393
00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:58,460
Who is your like, like, celebrity, like, hall pass person?

394
00:18:58,460 --> 00:19:01,460
Where you're like, "If I ever, it's all in sight."

395
00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:05,460
Um, Chris Maloney, for sure.

396
00:19:05,460 --> 00:19:08,460
But if we're going to go like, "RH?"

397
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:11,460
A type of type, you can have whatever type of--

398
00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:12,460
I know.

399
00:19:12,460 --> 00:19:13,460
I know.

400
00:19:13,460 --> 00:19:14,460
"RH?"

401
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:16,460
I don't even know, honestly.

402
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:17,460
Okay.

403
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:18,460
We're going to get to the end of the episode.

404
00:19:18,460 --> 00:19:20,460
We're going to see what your onsite is.

405
00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:21,460
Please do.

406
00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:22,460
I'll start researching.

407
00:19:22,460 --> 00:19:24,460
Because I know this one when I just can't.

408
00:19:24,460 --> 00:19:25,460
Can't think of foods.

409
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:27,460
Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait.

410
00:19:27,460 --> 00:19:28,460
One more show.

411
00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:29,460
One more show.

412
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:30,460
Melissa's Macyl.

413
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:31,460
It's so good.

414
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:35,460
If you guys haven't been watching it, this show is just a delight.

415
00:19:35,460 --> 00:19:38,460
Every episode, it's also less season.

416
00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:41,460
And they're doing a lot of flash forwards to, like, the 80s and 90s.

417
00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:43,460
Um, the show's set in the 60s.

418
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:46,460
I think I've talked about it in this podcast before.

419
00:19:46,460 --> 00:19:48,460
But please watch, "Marveless Mrs. Macyl."

420
00:19:48,460 --> 00:19:51,460
If you just want to smile and laugh.

421
00:19:51,460 --> 00:19:54,460
And watch some gorgeous 60s fashion.

422
00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:56,460
There you go.

423
00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:00,460
I will say you also sound like my dad there for that one.

424
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:02,460
To see frickin' love's that show.

425
00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:03,460
It's so good.

426
00:20:03,460 --> 00:20:04,460
Every episode is just a delight.

427
00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:05,460
It's a pure delight.

428
00:20:05,460 --> 00:20:06,460
Yeah.

429
00:20:06,460 --> 00:20:07,460
Yeah.

430
00:20:07,460 --> 00:20:14,460
All right, Olivia, what have you been watching?

431
00:20:14,460 --> 00:20:17,460
So I just had my 30th birthday.

432
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:18,460
So on Sunday.

433
00:20:18,460 --> 00:20:19,460
You're gonna be on Sunday.

434
00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:20,460
Thank you.

435
00:20:20,460 --> 00:20:23,460
I had on the oldest junky now.

436
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:27,460
34 and just like a whole.

437
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:28,460
And we love it.

438
00:20:28,460 --> 00:20:31,460
That was the theme of my 34th birthday.

439
00:20:31,460 --> 00:20:32,460
Yes.

440
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:33,460
Yes.

441
00:20:33,460 --> 00:20:34,460
I didn't come up with that.

442
00:20:34,460 --> 00:20:36,460
Sean is much more creative than I am.

443
00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:42,460
So in my squalor on Sunday when I was picking myself up off the floor from a whole bottle

444
00:20:42,460 --> 00:20:43,460
of tequila.

445
00:20:43,460 --> 00:20:51,460
I watched Kung Pao enter the fist, which like, if you know me, you know that that movie is

446
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:53,460
deeply embedded in my soul.

447
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:57,460
Like I will just find myself going, "Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo."

448
00:20:57,460 --> 00:20:58,460
Like to myself.

449
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:01,460
And so that's something about me.

450
00:21:01,460 --> 00:21:03,460
But it was amazing.

451
00:21:03,460 --> 00:21:09,460
I literally sat there with a giant chocolate cake, didn't cut it and just made it with a spoon.

452
00:21:09,460 --> 00:21:12,460
It was a beautiful, spiritual experience.

453
00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:13,460
Yes.

454
00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:14,460
A little girl.

455
00:21:14,460 --> 00:21:20,460
And then after that, I binge watched all of Queen Charlotte by Bridgerton.

456
00:21:20,460 --> 00:21:23,460
Or the Bridgerton story, whatever they're calling it.

457
00:21:23,460 --> 00:21:24,460
And I liked it.

458
00:21:24,460 --> 00:21:26,460
It was really, really good.

459
00:21:26,460 --> 00:21:36,460
They addressed like all the criticism of like, "Why are you not acknowledging race in a world where there's like black people in Regency Times?"

460
00:21:36,460 --> 00:21:38,460
And like a black queen, right?

461
00:21:38,460 --> 00:21:43,460
And so they addressed that as well as they never had a gay story in it.

462
00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:45,460
And so they had both of those in this.

463
00:21:45,460 --> 00:21:47,460
And I really, really liked that.

464
00:21:47,460 --> 00:21:49,460
Is it like a mini series?

465
00:21:49,460 --> 00:21:50,460
Yes.

466
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:51,460
So it's six episodes.

467
00:21:51,460 --> 00:21:57,460
So if you saw Bridgerton, basically it's about the Queen in the story.

468
00:21:57,460 --> 00:21:59,460
So Queen Charlotte is her name.

469
00:21:59,460 --> 00:22:04,460
And it's the story of how her and the king fell in love.

470
00:22:04,460 --> 00:22:09,460
The main guy in it, super hot, looks like Dave Franco, but an English version.

471
00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:10,460
So yeah.

472
00:22:10,460 --> 00:22:13,460
There's a good one for you, Nicole.

473
00:22:13,460 --> 00:22:14,460
Yeah.

474
00:22:14,460 --> 00:22:19,460
Yeah, he's not a Franco, so we can like, you know, like that, we can buy that.

475
00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:21,460
Dave is a cool Franco.

476
00:22:21,460 --> 00:22:29,460
Yeah, but I feel like if your brother is James Franco, like there's some residual, like, rod coming to you, you know?

477
00:22:29,460 --> 00:22:34,460
Maybe that's a mean judgment, but I don't, I got my ears perked for him.

478
00:22:34,460 --> 00:22:36,460
But he was, he was really good.

479
00:22:36,460 --> 00:22:38,460
And like they genuinely had chemistry.

480
00:22:38,460 --> 00:22:45,460
If I feel like if you watched the first Bridgerton, which I went back and did that after I finished it, because I was like, I'm not more.

481
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:49,460
And the original couple in Bridgerton has like no chemistry.

482
00:22:49,460 --> 00:22:52,460
And so this one was much better.

483
00:22:52,460 --> 00:22:55,460
Well, but it's that super hot guy Renee something.

484
00:22:55,460 --> 00:23:04,460
Yeah, I think we were all just like so secluded and like, horned up for a better word during COVID where we were like, this is great.

485
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:06,460
This is amazing.

486
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:08,460
This show is everything.

487
00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:12,460
And if you rewatch it, it's like, oh, that's probably not good.

488
00:23:12,460 --> 00:23:15,460
But Queen Charlotte was really good.

489
00:23:15,460 --> 00:23:16,460
And I really liked it.

490
00:23:16,460 --> 00:23:18,460
And the people had good chemistry.

491
00:23:18,460 --> 00:23:20,460
And then they upped the costumes.

492
00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:27,460
Like another big criticism of Bridgerton is like, they're not accurate to like the time that they're trying to be in.

493
00:23:27,460 --> 00:23:35,460
And a lot of the costumes this time around were actually good and fit for like queens and things like that.

494
00:23:35,460 --> 00:23:37,460
I never watched it.

495
00:23:37,460 --> 00:23:42,460
The only reason I would have is just because of the hotness and the sex scene.

496
00:23:42,460 --> 00:23:45,460
But maybe I'll just skip right over to this one.

497
00:23:45,460 --> 00:23:46,460
I don't know.

498
00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:50,460
Yeah, I like maybe I'll just watch a compilation of the sex scenes on YouTube.

499
00:23:50,460 --> 00:23:51,460
Also good.

500
00:23:51,460 --> 00:23:52,460
Also good.

501
00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:57,460
They're going to HBO route where they're like really showing the men's butts.

502
00:23:57,460 --> 00:24:01,460
It's like women's bodies out men's butts in.

503
00:24:01,460 --> 00:24:04,460
Losing a butt.

504
00:24:04,460 --> 00:24:10,460
Dude, when Lucifer went to Netflix and they showed his butt cheeks in that episode, I was like,

505
00:24:10,460 --> 00:24:11,460
"Lord, have mercy.

506
00:24:11,460 --> 00:24:13,460
Devil, have mercy."

507
00:24:13,460 --> 00:24:15,460
Give me those devil butts.

508
00:24:15,460 --> 00:24:17,460
We had a whole episode about that too.

509
00:24:17,460 --> 00:24:18,460
Oh my god.

510
00:24:18,460 --> 00:24:20,460
It's just a throwback at the same thing.

511
00:24:20,460 --> 00:24:24,460
I think we had a title of an episode that was just like,

512
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:28,460
"You sexy devil or sleeping with the devil."

513
00:24:28,460 --> 00:24:31,460
I don't remember.

514
00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:32,460
Poor for me.

515
00:24:32,460 --> 00:24:33,460
You're a mom called your junkie.

516
00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:34,460
You got to.

517
00:24:34,460 --> 00:24:35,460
No, apparently.

518
00:24:35,460 --> 00:24:36,460
Apparently.

519
00:24:36,460 --> 00:24:37,460
Sorry about it.

520
00:24:37,460 --> 00:24:39,460
"Sexy British Devil Man."

521
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:40,460
That was the name of the episode.

522
00:24:40,460 --> 00:24:41,460
Go back and listen to it.

523
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:46,460
[Music]

524
00:24:46,460 --> 00:24:51,460
So we are huge fans of television, clearly.

525
00:24:51,460 --> 00:24:56,460
But would television exist if no woman was there to write it?

526
00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:59,460
Enter the writer's strike.

527
00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:01,460
That is going down right now.

528
00:25:01,460 --> 00:25:04,460
And that a lot of people think, "It's gonna last."

529
00:25:04,460 --> 00:25:06,460
I'm reading up to months at a time.

530
00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:10,460
I think the last time that it went on, it lasted a really long time.

531
00:25:10,460 --> 00:25:12,460
It was like months on end.

532
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:14,460
And a lot of TV shows were impacted.

533
00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:20,460
So, interested to hear some pot takes on the writer's strike right now.

534
00:25:20,460 --> 00:25:23,460
Yeah, so November to February.

535
00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:25,460
Yeah, dude, that was a long time.

536
00:25:25,460 --> 00:25:29,460
They're saying that a lot of TV shows are being impacted already.

537
00:25:29,460 --> 00:25:33,460
SNL has already canceled its last three episodes.

538
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:34,460
Which I was looking forward to.

539
00:25:34,460 --> 00:25:37,460
Because Pete Davidson wasn't going to be there.

540
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:38,460
You're daddy.

541
00:25:38,460 --> 00:25:39,460
There you go.

542
00:25:39,460 --> 00:25:40,460
You love him.

543
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:41,460
You needed him.

544
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:42,460
You needed him.

545
00:25:42,460 --> 00:25:43,460
I needed him.

546
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:46,460
Yeah, it's most significantly impacted up front.

547
00:25:46,460 --> 00:25:49,460
It seems like it's all the late night shows.

548
00:25:49,460 --> 00:25:52,460
But really kind of down the line.

549
00:25:52,460 --> 00:25:54,460
It's going to impact some of our favorites.

550
00:25:54,460 --> 00:25:56,460
We got yellow jackets.

551
00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:58,460
How's it dragon?

552
00:25:58,460 --> 00:26:00,460
Which, no, I need that.

553
00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:02,460
I need that back in my life.

554
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:03,460
I know.

555
00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:05,460
I'm obsessed with yellow jackets.

556
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:07,460
I do support the strike though.

557
00:26:07,460 --> 00:26:12,460
Like, the selfish worst of me is like, oh my god, no.

558
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:14,460
Come on, I need my entertainment.

559
00:26:14,460 --> 00:26:16,460
Entertain me right now.

560
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:19,460
This was the only thing keeping me on.

561
00:26:19,460 --> 00:26:22,460
Keep holding on by a thread over here.

562
00:26:22,460 --> 00:26:24,460
I'm not going to be there.

563
00:26:24,460 --> 00:26:26,460
I'm not going to be there.

564
00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:28,460
I'm not going to be there.

I'm not going to be there.

I'm not going to be there.

612
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:20,460

I'm not going to be there.

616
00:27:23,460 --> 00:27:24,460
I'm not going to be there.

617
00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:25,460
I'm not going to be there.

618
00:27:25,460 --> 00:27:26,460
I'm not going to be there.

619
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:27,460
I'm not going to be there.

620
00:27:27,460 --> 00:27:28,460
I'm not going to be there.

621
00:27:28,460 --> 00:27:29,460
I'm not going to be there.

622
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:30,460
I'm not going to be there.

623
00:27:30,460 --> 00:27:31,460
I'm not going to be there.

624
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:32,460
I'm not going to be there.

625
00:27:32,460 --> 00:27:33,460
I'm not going to be there.

626
00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:34,460
I'm not going to be there.

627
00:27:34,460 --> 00:27:35,460
I'm not going to be there.

628
00:27:35,460 --> 00:27:36,460
Yeah.

629
00:27:36,460 --> 00:27:37,460
Well, it's interesting, right?

630
00:27:37,460 --> 00:27:44,180
Like, you look at criticism of Hollywood right now and it's, they're always making the same

631
00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:45,180
thing over and over.

632
00:27:45,180 --> 00:27:50,460
They're just like really formulaic with their writing because as an executive, they're

633
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:54,900
like, okay, well, we want to make something that we know is going to make money and is proven

634
00:27:54,900 --> 00:28:01,300
to work, which, you know, that isn't like a creative mindset at all.

635
00:28:01,300 --> 00:28:07,260
Then we have so many talented writers where, you know, I think eventually, like, it'll become

636
00:28:07,260 --> 00:28:12,900
so formulaic, especially if they add in this AI writing that people aren't going to be

637
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:13,900
interested.

638
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:19,060
Like, we're going to have so much streaming content more so than we do now that is just

639
00:28:19,060 --> 00:28:24,820
below even some of the stuff we see today, which I think quality of TV shows has really

640
00:28:24,820 --> 00:28:25,820
gone down.

641
00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:29,460
So, why did this strike start in the first place?

642
00:28:29,460 --> 00:28:32,260
So, it was kind of the instigating factor here.

643
00:28:32,260 --> 00:28:36,740
So the writers guild wanted to increase their pay for their members.

644
00:28:36,740 --> 00:28:46,660
I believe the pay was around $429 million a year, according to the WGA, and the counter-MPTP

645
00:28:46,660 --> 00:28:49,340
would run about $86 million per year.

646
00:28:49,340 --> 00:28:55,100
So, the number of writers working at the minimum pay has risen from a third to about a half.

647
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,500
So, that's quite a bit of people.

648
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:00,300
10% wise, it's 33% to 50%.

649
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:01,820
So, I mean, that's a lot.

650
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:08,260
And then writers for comedy writing shows and for streaming services, they have no pay protection

651
00:29:08,260 --> 00:29:13,740
and tend to get less paid in their counterparts in broadcast, which is pretty crazy to think

652
00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:14,740
about.

653
00:29:14,740 --> 00:29:18,580
I guess that's why a lot of these shows are being impacted, like the late night shows for

654
00:29:18,580 --> 00:29:19,580
sure.

655
00:29:19,580 --> 00:29:20,580
Yeah, yeah.

656
00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:23,540
Yeah, I didn't think it that way, but exactly.

657
00:29:23,540 --> 00:29:31,620
A lot of the writers previously, to make their living, they had to be making these residuals

658
00:29:31,620 --> 00:29:33,780
from their shows, right?

659
00:29:33,780 --> 00:29:40,460
But with streaming, the residuals don't really work in that way.

660
00:29:40,460 --> 00:29:44,900
So, like, residuals as a whole, as an industry, has risen.

661
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:49,860
But when it comes to individual shows, it's dropped significantly.

662
00:29:49,860 --> 00:29:54,020
So, because of that, people are making less and less money, they're paying writers less

663
00:29:54,020 --> 00:29:55,020
and less.

664
00:29:55,020 --> 00:29:59,780
And, you know, which just dark days in the creator world.

665
00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:00,780
Oh, gosh.

666
00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:05,500
And there are so many different streaming services that I'm sure it's hard to know going

667
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:07,940
into it, which ones are going to be profitable or not.

668
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:10,340
Like, what was that one that lasted?

669
00:30:10,340 --> 00:30:12,140
Like, really quick.

670
00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:13,140
Quibi.

671
00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:14,140
Oh, my God.

672
00:30:14,140 --> 00:30:15,140
Quibi.

673
00:30:15,140 --> 00:30:17,140
And then that is 8 shit immediately.

674
00:30:17,140 --> 00:30:20,740
We got only Netflix is really turning a profit right now.

675
00:30:20,740 --> 00:30:25,420
So, I think going into these streaming services as they're being launched, it's kind of hard

676
00:30:25,420 --> 00:30:29,460
to tell which ones are going to be profitable, which ones aren't, and how much they can afford

677
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:30,460
to pay the writers.

678
00:30:30,460 --> 00:30:33,060
I can't even imagine all this Quibi show.

679
00:30:33,060 --> 00:30:37,620
It's different to the live on the floor, if some cutting room right now.

680
00:30:37,620 --> 00:30:38,620
Yeah.

681
00:30:38,620 --> 00:30:42,220
The Quibi feels like a way to have a production-valued TikTok.

682
00:30:42,220 --> 00:30:44,740
Or, I guess, it's more Snapchat.

683
00:30:44,740 --> 00:30:47,620
Like, you know, the Snapchat feature page.

684
00:30:47,620 --> 00:30:50,940
That's like what Quibi just feels like, which is.

685
00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:51,940
Yeah.

686
00:30:51,940 --> 00:30:55,100
I'll try to make TikToks and then I'll post them.

687
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,780
I'll be like, that was really cute.

688
00:30:56,780 --> 00:30:58,300
And then I'll look at other people's TikToks.

689
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:00,460
I'm like, why the fuck do I even try?

690
00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:04,060
Like, they have special effects in their TikToks.

691
00:31:04,060 --> 00:31:08,500
And I'm in here like a selfie of myself.

692
00:31:08,500 --> 00:31:13,580
But also too, during this whole thing, Drew Barrymore was supposed to host MTV, booby

693
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:14,700
and TV wars.

694
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:18,180
And three days before the award show was supposed to happen, she came out and said that she was

695
00:31:18,180 --> 00:31:22,260
dropping out as the host because she's in support of this strike.

696
00:31:22,260 --> 00:31:26,620
And so I did tune in because I wanted to try to see how they were going to go about if

697
00:31:26,620 --> 00:31:29,620
they got a new post because I didn't see them announce anything about getting a new

698
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:31,300
host or something like that.

699
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:32,700
It was extremely weird.

700
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:35,020
I did not like the format at all.

701
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:37,020
Nobody was there.

702
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:38,020
It was not live.

703
00:31:38,020 --> 00:31:39,020
I mean, it was, but it wasn't.

704
00:31:39,020 --> 00:31:40,020
Like, there was no audience.

705
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:44,140
I should say everyone was at home and they already, the winner already had the award.

706
00:31:44,140 --> 00:31:46,620
So I turned it on when Jennifer Coolidge won.

707
00:31:46,620 --> 00:31:49,260
And she was like in her apartment holding the award already.

708
00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:51,700
And I was like, okay, like maybe she was just sick or something.

709
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:53,340
Couldn't make it filming something.

710
00:31:53,340 --> 00:31:54,860
I don't know, white lotus.

711
00:31:54,860 --> 00:31:55,860
Who knows.

712
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:58,300
And it was just really weird.

713
00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:02,700
They kept showing throwback images and footage of previous award shows.

714
00:32:02,700 --> 00:32:04,220
Why would anyone want to watch that?

715
00:32:04,220 --> 00:32:05,220
I feel like no.

716
00:32:05,220 --> 00:32:08,420
MTV did that over COVID too.

717
00:32:08,420 --> 00:32:09,420
Yeah.

718
00:32:09,420 --> 00:32:11,420
And Gaga and Ariana performed.

719
00:32:11,420 --> 00:32:16,020
And I mean, I loved that whole show because it was basically like a lady, Gaga, chromatic,

720
00:32:16,020 --> 00:32:17,020
a commercial.

721
00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:18,020
She won like four before.

722
00:32:18,020 --> 00:32:20,020
It's yet all these different outfit.

723
00:32:20,020 --> 00:32:22,980
But everyone was wearing masks and everyone else was screaming.

724
00:32:22,980 --> 00:32:25,740
And the pandemic, Golden Globes did that too.

725
00:32:25,740 --> 00:32:27,740
It was just like everybody's at home.

726
00:32:27,740 --> 00:32:33,180
Yeah, she's the least kind of stuff we get when people don't get paid.

727
00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:34,180
Yeah.

728
00:32:34,180 --> 00:32:35,180
Mm-hmm.

729
00:32:35,180 --> 00:32:36,180
But we love Drew Bayer, Mariam.

730
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:37,180
She's for the people.

731
00:32:37,180 --> 00:32:38,180
Yeah.

732
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:39,180
She's an icon.

733
00:32:39,180 --> 00:32:40,180
Oh my god.

734
00:32:40,180 --> 00:32:41,180
She's so pure.

735
00:32:41,180 --> 00:32:42,180
She is so pure.

736
00:32:42,180 --> 00:32:43,180
She is so pure.

737
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:44,180
She's the rain.

738
00:32:44,180 --> 00:32:47,260
Did you guys see her interview with Brook Shields?

739
00:32:47,260 --> 00:32:48,260
No.

740
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:50,560
Oh my god, you need to watch it.

741
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,860
Also, back to TV we're watching.

742
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:56,940
If you haven't watched the Crybaby documentary or Pretty Baby Crybaby.

743
00:32:56,940 --> 00:32:57,940
I haven't seen you watch that.

744
00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:00,100
Pretty baby, don't get on my list.

745
00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:01,900
It is so good.

746
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:06,420
It is so disturbing what we were doing to this little girl.

747
00:33:06,420 --> 00:33:07,420
And like-

748
00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:10,940
Yeah, she was like 11 or 12 and like-

749
00:33:10,940 --> 00:33:12,460
Do you think sex happens, right?

750
00:33:12,460 --> 00:33:13,460
Yeah.

751
00:33:13,460 --> 00:33:14,460
Oh.

752
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:15,460
Yeah.

753
00:33:15,460 --> 00:33:18,100
I'm like, no, when there were so messed up, like everyone's like, why are kids having sex

754
00:33:18,100 --> 00:33:19,100
so young?

755
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:21,860
And it's like, you are putting this stuff on the TV in the 80s.

756
00:33:21,860 --> 00:33:24,060
What are you talking about?

757
00:33:24,060 --> 00:33:26,180
But no, it's really, really crazy.

758
00:33:26,180 --> 00:33:28,740
Because she also put out a book as well.

759
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:35,980
I think personally as like an objective person, I think she gives her mother a lot of grace

760
00:33:35,980 --> 00:33:41,100
that I probably would not extend to her, but she is her mother.

761
00:33:41,100 --> 00:33:42,100
So-

762
00:33:42,100 --> 00:33:44,300
Those showbiz moms, man.

763
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:49,260
Yeah, in both the book and in the documentary, she has a really hard time like condemning her

764
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:51,060
mother's actions.

765
00:33:51,060 --> 00:33:55,860
But what was really interesting in the Drew Barrymore interview is she really kind of changes

766
00:33:55,860 --> 00:33:58,780
that stance and like really does speak out about it.

767
00:33:58,780 --> 00:34:04,780
Because I mean, Drew Barrymore and Brooke Shields have such a similar like life story where

768
00:34:04,780 --> 00:34:12,620
they were like young Lola who was getting taken to like these clubs at like seven years old.

769
00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:14,460
I read Drew Barrymore's book.

770
00:34:14,460 --> 00:34:16,420
I think it's called Little Girl Lost.

771
00:34:16,420 --> 00:34:22,620
And she was taken like, Studio 54, is that what it was called?

772
00:34:22,620 --> 00:34:24,620
She was doing cocaine at nine years old.

773
00:34:24,620 --> 00:34:25,620
That's insane.

774
00:34:25,620 --> 00:34:33,500
You know, my God, the way that she turned out to be is lovely and supportive as she is now.

775
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:36,580
Have you ever seen any of the pictures of her in the club?

776
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:37,580
It's freaking nuts.

777
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:38,580
Yeah.

778
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:43,300
You're like, you look like you like she looks like she's straight out of ET.

779
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:50,100
Like, if I was fucked up in a club and I just saw the little child there, I'd be like,

780
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:51,100
why is happening?

781
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:52,100
Literally.

782
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:53,100
Literally.

783
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:54,100
I don't freak out.

784
00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:55,100
Literally.

785
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:56,100
I don't freak out.

786
00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:59,900
I'm literally like, wait, like I need to go home.

787
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:02,500
I'm seeing ET right now.

788
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:06,500
And it's like, no, that's just actually Drew Barrymore over there.

789
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:08,660
Is that my brain, Natch?

790
00:35:08,660 --> 00:35:09,660
Child.

791
00:35:09,660 --> 00:35:13,300
No, it's like when we were at the pool party for your birthday and somebody had two kids in

792
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:14,300
the pool.

793
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:15,300
Yeah.

794
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:16,300
We're here.

795
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:17,300
We're here.

796
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:18,300
I thought it was.

797
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:22,300
Don't bring your children to the casino pool with a DJ.

798
00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:23,300
Yeah.

799
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:25,300
Like, there's a DJ here.

800
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:26,300
Yeah.

801
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:27,300
Pick a different dance track.

802
00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:30,940
I'll go get a million resorts.

803
00:35:30,940 --> 00:35:32,740
So we love the gaze.

804
00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:35,340
Olivia is a welcome rash.

805
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:36,540
We love you very much.

806
00:35:36,540 --> 00:35:39,300
Bill Hader has big dick energy.

807
00:35:39,300 --> 00:35:43,740
Don't give your nine year old cocaine and you support the writers right.

808
00:35:43,740 --> 00:35:45,140
Did I forget anything?

809
00:35:45,140 --> 00:35:46,140
Yeah.

810
00:35:46,140 --> 00:35:48,340
And watch Pretty Baby.

811
00:35:48,340 --> 00:35:50,940
Because it's a good story.

812
00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:54,380
And Jesus would be welcome on the Real Housewives of New Jersey because he's looked

813
00:35:54,380 --> 00:35:55,380
at Jesus.

814
00:35:55,380 --> 00:35:57,180
Jesus be flipping tables.

815
00:35:57,180 --> 00:35:58,180
Yes, if I Jesus.

816
00:35:58,180 --> 00:36:00,180
And who drank wine?

817
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:01,180
And he drank wine.

818
00:36:01,180 --> 00:36:04,780
Do he shop to the reunion and he'd be like that water bottle?

819
00:36:04,780 --> 00:36:05,780
Wine.

820
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:12,260
Please don't stop listening to my family.

821
00:36:12,260 --> 00:36:16,180
So Olivia, what did you think about your first episode of Pop Culture Jackie Podcast?

822
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:19,580
Well, I'm glad you guys didn't bite.

823
00:36:19,580 --> 00:36:21,780
You know, hopefully you let me come back next week.

824
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:24,380
But I do that when I'm a person.

825
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:25,380
That's true.

826
00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:27,900
You haven't recorded it in person with Nicole yet.

827
00:36:27,900 --> 00:36:31,900
Tell me what the good time.

828
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:34,900
I'm going to be the pervy host.

829
00:36:34,900 --> 00:36:36,300
That's going to be the problem.

830
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:38,900
That role has already been taken.

831
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:39,900
No.

832
00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:40,900
No.

833
00:36:40,900 --> 00:36:44,300
But yeah, I'm excited.

834
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:51,260
I'll have to next time school you on the free band movement so you guys can join in giving

835
00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:53,900
him his freedom just like we did for Britney.

836
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:54,900
Absolutely.

837
00:36:54,900 --> 00:36:55,900
Let's do it.

838
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:57,900
