Those were the days. You clean your ring? Did I clean my ring? Yeah, I'm asking if you did. No. Oh, it's sparkling. It's got a good sparkle. Oh, my God. I noticed from my chair. I said, oh, maybe she cleaned it. No, I didn't. Thank you. Oh, it's extra sparkly. It looks extra sparkly today. Thank you. I was actually thinking to myself that I had to clean it soon. Yeah. No, it's extra sparkly. Maybe I don't actually. It looks great. With the emerald cut, they honestly get dirty easily.

quicker than other diamonds yeah i've been told and i've noticed like i do clean it more frequently than i think other people clean theirs because the emerald if it's if it gets a little blurry yeah then you can't see the dimension yeah you know so i make sure this thing's pretty clean but i didn't clean well i know i thought i saw an extra sparkle today oh my god well thank you maybe it's just the sparkle in my body um when people when people used to yell hump day that was like

Like, you know, I don't even know what I'm saying it was prime of. It was a Geico commercial, right? It was just like when people have like a lust for life. When it was like, they were like, hump day! You know? And we're still doing it. We are. We're still doing it all these years. We are, but other people aren't. Because we still, you know, we have those, Wednesday really is hump day. It really is. It's a perfect way to describe it. It is. So how are you feeling on this beautiful hump day? Oh, honestly terrible. Oh, okay.

Oh. Honestly terrible. I already told you. I had a terrible morning. And I will take two seconds to vent about it because it was. Take more than that, honey. My God. I've said it on the podcast. My washer dryer broken, right? Yes. Not to be confused with my dryer. Let's clarify here. Your dryer sucks. My dryer more than sucks. Yours is broken. My dryer worked just fine. My washing machine was stuck on hot.

And I couldn't, the knob was broken, the unit was too old, so I couldn't even, we couldn't even get a new part for it. It was like, had to replace the whole thing. Okay, fine. This was like a month ago at this point. We'd probably get a new unit three weeks ago.

They have rescheduled the delivery three or four times, like the day before, saying, oh, sorry, have to move the delivery, have to move the delivery. It's been weeks. Finally, they say they're coming today. They give me a window, 7.30 to 11.30. Okay, I'm up, I'm ready, I'm waiting for them to show up. They get there at 12.15, they come in,

rude as can be. What kind of demeanor? Just like they were already behind schedule and I was an inconvenience to them. Let's act it out. I'm you. You're them. I can't even act it out. I'll open the door. I was like, wait, wait. I'm opening the door. Good morning. Thank you guys for coming. Is it in here? In this bathroom?

oh yeah it's right yeah oh that's my part yeah oh yeah it's right in here so i'm sorry okay let me measure quick i'll be right back okay walked out the door and he just leaves left they just left then he walked out the door everything was fine but then they had they had to take off my my washer dryer is in a bathroom in my front hallway it's uh not a full bath it's half bath and it's in a yeah it's in a uh

So there's a door. But so they had to completely take the door off to get the old unit out. So they take the door off. It's a pretty tall, heavy door. They take the door off. And they're like midway through the process. And the guy says that they he goes, let me see the invoice. You didn't order the you didn't order the water hose.

What do you mean I didn't order the water hose? What do you mean? That doesn't come with it. What water hose are you talking about, sir? To connect the washing machine to the water line. And I don't know what happened, but allegedly the first survey, they thought they didn't need a new water hose. But when this guy came in to install it, he was like, oh, can't use the old one. Second survey. So he, once he realized that was a situation, he,

He was ready to walk right out the door and like leave the new unit in the middle of my apartment, like just in the middle of my apartment. Take out the old one. And of course, like it's a washer dryer. It's in a closet. It's you. I can't clean underneath the washing machine there. It's a stacked unit.

So I can't clean underneath it. So when they... God knows the last time somebody got under there. Probably when the first unit was installed. So when they took it out, like I will say, it was gross. Dusty and musty? It was gross. And they grabbed some paper towels and they were wiping stuff down because they were pulling out the old unit. Once they pulled out the old unit, they left all the paper towels on the ground in the bathroom. They said...

We can't install the rest of this. We have to come back. We don't have the hose. I literally, I was halfway out the door. I said, oh, is it something that I can get? Like there's a Home Depot around the corner from my apartment. I was like, is it something that I could just grab? I can be back in 10 minutes, literally. Oh, no, no, no, no, nope, nope. We're late. We're late. We're not on schedule. We can't do that. The amount of time that they stayed in my apartment still, I could have gone and come back. You would have been back with the hose. And...

They moved the door in front of my refrigerator. They were leaning the door against my refrigerator because they had to bring the new unit in. And he was like, I was like, okay, could you just maybe move the new unit, like, at least into the bathroom? Like...

He was like, oh, well, we don't want to put it all the way in the closet. I'm like, okay, that's fine, but at least just move it into the bathroom. And I said, could you please also move the door for my refrigerator? It was on top of my, I couldn't move my refrigerator. Yeah. Scuffing up your refrigerator. The way this guy looked like I had 10 heads. He literally almost laughed in my face. Like he like rolled his eyes at me. I was like, like, ugh. Yeah, like kind of like gave me a smirk. I was like, ugh. I was like, what the? Classic little girl can't move the door. It's a giant door that weighs so much.

Whatever. And now I just have a new unit sitting in my bathroom not attached to anything. And they claim they'll come back. But you know what? I'd be pissed off as well. No, they were just... I'm not doing a good job of really explaining just how condescending they were. Where it just made me feel stupid. It's a tone thing. And I really didn't... They left and then I was sad for 20 minutes sitting in my apartment alone. Because they were just... Yeah, they were just...

Like, I felt like they knew that they could walk all over me and just move on and leave and get on to their next job and not have to finish what they needed to finish. And that's exactly what they did. Yeah. So then I was like, oh, I feel defeated. That sucks. Yeah, they treat you like a dumb little girl. Yeah, and then they just left. You should have just been like a real...

raging bitch I should have and I should have and I didn't I was like okay thanks you should like we'll come back tomorrow I was like sure you will it took you three weeks to get here in the first place and you but because you're also like if you're alone there you're like I don't want to be too mean what if they like get mad you know no it's yeah it's yeah it's uncomfortable it's two two two guys and just me and I was like okay right damn I'm sorry about that it was tough I'd be pissed off I know and so now I just I need a hose

You gotta get that hose. Gotta get the hose. And hopefully they come back. And pray that they make their way back. Yeah, truthfully. Pray that they make their way back. Well, I hope it works out. What a saga. It's been broken for months. I can't believe this is still going on. Speaking of laundry, I forgot to tell you big news, guys. What? I'm doing my own laundry now. Oh my, I'm so happy for you. I just want to call back to France and know we'll have someone doing his laundry forever.

She said that? On the pod when I talked about like folding or something. I remember Framie like. He's got quite a vivid memory, this guy. Oh, I do. I mean, this was a long time ago. This is what you're talking about how you didn't know how to fold. This was in March or April. When I proved that I did know how to fold. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. Never forget. Big news. Well, that's lovely. How do you like it?

I like having control over it. I stain a lot of my clothes, so now I can really treat them the way they should be treated. That's very nice. Congratulations on this massive monument at 29 years old. It's not in my apartment, to be clear. I go down to the basement. Damn grungy. Yeah, it is. So you've had washer dryers in your basement of your building? Yeah, but multiple. But you've just sent out your laundry? Yeah, because I just was lazy. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

But that's it. So happy for you. If you can afford to do it, then do it. You know what I mean? But I actually do understand. No, that's what I'm saying. It's cheaper this way. But if you were doing it that way, it didn't hurt your life. I hope those people are like, where did he go? They're yearning for you back. You've moved on. At the end of one year, my laundromat gave me a bottle of wine.

For Christmas. That's beautiful. That's so nice. You spent a lot of time there, huh? Yeah. Got a lot of laundry over there, huh? Well, that's a good sign, though. It means you're doing your laundry. Yeah, yeah.

Or you're getting your laundry done. You're cleaning your clothes. I'm really OCD about I don't want to be wearing stained clothes or dirty clothes. Well, now you know because it's like when you do stain something, you know exactly where it is and you can take care of it. When you send your laundry to a place, you're not totally sure they'll get the stain out. They might not even see the stain. They don't. They'll charge you for the extra stain, whatever, anyway. And no Ives will get that stain out. I'll put it through the washer like 30 times if I have to. Yeah, he'll fucking show you.

He got some OxyClean. He's ready to work. He's ready to go. He's getting those stains fucking out. He's ready to work. Good for you, Noah. Good for you. We're going to Buffalo and I put up on my story, we want to do a Wang tour. We want to do a Wang tour. Paul, I'm taking it. I am speechless. I'm so am I. I'm speechless. So am I. A Wang tour? You almost said a Wang tour. A Wang tour. A Wang tour. It was something like I was...

If I said with confidence, it would have came out better. I think you kind of said it with confidence. I wasn't confident halfway through coming out. You lost it through tour. But you hit the way. You went wang, wang, tour. I went wang and then I lost my confidence and went tour. Yeah. So I'm going to peel it back. And I want to go on a wing tour. Yep.

wing tour we want to eat a lot of wings i want to eat a lot of wings a lot of wings yep yep um and so i put it on my story sorry i'm still flabbergasted so so am i so am i we have to start this whole thing over wang tour i'm trying to go on a way i'm trying to go on a wang tour that's like not natural at all no did not know where that came from deep inside but you are you getting a lot of recommendations yes and i do want to say something

I'm being very judgmental towards people, even though I've never been. Here's the thing. There's a lot of people suggesting this place called Bar Bill, which is apparently the best wings. That's like the number one place people have suggested. Then there's a lot of people saying Duff's and Anchor. Okay. But the same group of people

That are saying Duff's and Anchor are saying both of those together. And the bar bill people are saying do not listen to the people that are saying Duff's or Anchor. Okay. Interesting. So now, and like I'm getting so many a bar bill being like this is the place. If you are truly from Buffalo, bar bill is the place. The other places are da da da, Fugazi. You don't want to go there. Okay.

I'm now judging the people that are suggesting Duff's and Anchor to me. Right. I mean, well, I know nothing about the wing places. Duff's has a way bigger following on social. I wonder if maybe Barbell's more unknown. Or maybe because Duff's is like a tourist place. I don't think it's unknown.

known because it's being sent all the time. But I think it's like maybe more touristy versus local. Maybe it's more touristy. And now I'm offhand judging the people that are suggesting doves are anchored to me. I mean, I've never been to any of them. So I'm like, who am I? Who is we? Well, you're just getting yourself into it. Like nothing is more heated when it comes to a city's

Whatever the city, like the food that they are known for, when there are multiple places, nothing gets more heated. Like the argument, people get so passionate. It's such a hot topic. Yeah, exactly. Like it's just like, and everyone's got their favorite. And when people are so strong about it, it makes me want to try them all so much more. Right, I think we need to go to Barbell End Offs. Yeah. Because they have- Back to back.

And I mean, we can't, I don't know if we have time for three. Oh, maybe for lunch. Maybe. But no, we're going to Niagara Falls. Yeah. But on the way back, you're right. We got to hit some wangs on the way back. Yeah. If I say wangs one more time, I'm ignoring you now. I'm just ignoring it. Crucify me. Put me on the cross. You got me out of here. I'm ignoring it because it's out of control. Um,

I'm just like who am I to judge? Let me take my judgment pants off. And every time I get these messages I'm like who do they think I am suggesting duffs to me? I'm a bar bill gal. I've never been to bar bill but I've just now placed myself into the bar bill academy. That's where I think I belong. What name do you like better? Just strictly name. Bar bill.

It has Bill. Yeah. Buffalo Bills. You want to know why I'm not into Duff's? Because there was a very popular place in Florida called Duffy's. I'm pretty sure. I say with not a lot of confidence. Duffy's is still a thing. Duffy's Sports Girl. Okay, yeah. And to me...

I just think of Duffy's and Duff's and Duffy's. I'm like, that's too, that's too similar to me. Bar bill. I mean, I think Duff's is just an incredibly popular bar name to begin with. Right. But like for me, bar bill, I'm like,

B, B, Buffalo. B, B, B, B. Yep. Buffalo. Buffalo. Wings. Barbell. And they keep talking about this Cajun honey butter barbecue wing. And I said, I'm going to do some dirty things at that table if that comes out. Those are the wings that hit the table.

That sounds amazing, but I also want like classic buffalo wings. I want buffalo wings. We're going to get those little bar, but we're going to get all kinds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's just like, I'm going to get one kind. I don't want a hot wing, but I can do a buffalo wing. Yeah, but I mean they usually have like levels. I'm more of a mild slash medium gal. Hot is always too hot for me.

So it's just hot. Like I'm ready to be hot is like all you're doing is you're just your taste buds are on fire. I'm ready for whatever wings come our way. Remember the wing challenge you guys did? We did years and years ago. That was you guys are crying. That was that was one of the most painful things you've ever done. 2018. They brought in they brought in Buffalo Wild Wings for an ad and it was like they wanted us to have a competition on who could eat the most wings with their with their

I still have the t-shirt that says we did it, but we didn't do it. We didn't. With like their hottest sauce, like their crazy level sauce. The two of us each took one bite of a wing and I...

had to almost be carried out like it was like i'm gonna throw up it was bad we were crying it was it was we were oh my god it was so no and the guy who was there remember he was like keep going you got this i was like i will not be taking another bite of a wing are you kidding me no we did not have it we did not have it we didn't have it at all i was ill for a while after that yeah good thing this is no competition tonight

No, thank God. I mean tomorrow. My Lord. That was painful. That was painful. This won't be painful. This will be an enjoyable experience that I'm very happy for. Which makes me think of like, do you ever, how do you think you would do doing hot wings? Hot ones? Yes, hot ones. Hot wings. Hot wings on hot ones. I like spicy things.

But I'm not too spicy. I would tap out at some point. At some point I'd be crying, begging for my mommy. You think you would keep going? I mean, you have to keep going. You have to keep going, but I would just do a tongue touch. Because this is getting too much for me. It just becomes a point where it's detrimental to your life. It's like, this is ruining my day and my week now.

Like, I can't gather my taste buds back and now all my meals for the next couple days are going to be fucked up. Right. I don't know how he does that, Sean Evans. He just eats them so much. Quite the buds on him. He's got must have quite the stomach at this point. Sean Evans, buds of steel. He likes them spicy. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does. He does. Well, I'm really excited for our trip and I'm really excited to go to Niagara Falls for the first time. Yeah. I'm really excited to get a poncho and like...

You know, sit there and smile with all you guys. Be like, hey, we're at Niagara Falls. You know, that whole thing. Yeah. Like tour, tourism. Niagara Falls tourism. Just like, just, you know, just be a spokesperson for the falls. Yeah. I want to, I want to engage in some classic tourism. And that's what I plan on doing. So catch me there or catch me not there. Can we get in one of those barrels?

What barrel? No. No, no, no. Not actually. Not going to go in the water, but they have the barrels by the rails. You pose in? And you just stand there. Oh, you can pose. Sure. Duh. But what you framed that was like you got to jump in. Let me make something incredibly clear to you. If there is a station. Made in the mist? Is that not what it's called? If there's a station for me to be posing at.

I'm there. If it's like, put your arms through the holes and act like you're getting your head chopped off, I'm there. If it's like, act like you're in front of Niagara Falls, but it's not really Niagara Falls, I'm there. I am a tourist.

Wednesday and Thursday. You've seen Fever Pitch, right? Made of the mist. Fever Pitch. I remember when they went. Why did you say it like that? I said it completely normally. You said Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch. Why are you saying it like that? That's the name of the movie, Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch. No, why do you keep saying it like that? Do you hear the way he's saying it? Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch.

I think that's... Have you seen the movie Fever Pitch? Better. Okay. Yeah. Originally, the first time you said it, I've never seen the movie Fever Pitch. Fever Pitch. There's a scene in it where they're at Niagara Falls and Jimmy Fallon's in the barrel. Have you ever seen the movie Fever Pitch? Yeah, I mean, we just made a lot of Bruce Almighty references that you did not get because you haven't seen the movie, so you just picked a different movie to try. He picked Fever Pitch. That he was a part of. Fever Pitch. Josh Safdie. Fever Pitch.

Oh guys we actually just missed the made of the mist last voyage of the season. It's like over for this. Why don't they do it now. Because it's fucking cold. I checked. No but it's like it's such it's a seasonal thing. You don't be on the water getting eager. You'll freeze. Where are your ponchos. The made of the mist. Ticket sales are closed for the 2024 season. Our last day of operation was Sunday November 3rd. Check back in January of 2025 to purchase tickets for our 2025 season.

So they're closed for the season. All right. Well, we'll still get to stand in front of the falls and take pictures and, you know, get sprinkled on and, you know, feel the energy of Niagara Falls. What I really want to do is capture the essence of the falls. Yeah. Never been. Never been.

I know, I know. Excuse me for being excited. No, no, it'll be great. It'll be great. I'm a little nervous about going at this time of year. I'm not going to lie. To the Falls? Yes. Bundle up, sweetheart. I've been in the summer. You get to chill even in the summer. It's powerful. It's going to be hilarious. It'll be great. It'll be a group activity. It'll be my first time in Canada. I think there's some casinos on the Canadian side. Oh my God, we're going to Canada.

Yeah, yeah. You've never been to Canada? I've never been. No, I've never been to Canada. You've never been to Canada? I've never been. I've never been to Canada. I went to Syracuse. What about you two? Have you guys been to Canada? Yes. Okay. Oh, just me and you two. Just you two. Canadian newbies over here. Oh my God. Air five. You'll cross that border. I did one of the most ridiculous trips ever and it was my sophomore year of college. We're going to Canada. And we took a bus to...

It was called Snow Jam. That's sick. Honestly, yes. Snow Jam sounds fucking epic. It was called Snow Jam and it was like a winter... It was like a holiday break. I don't know. It was either like President's Day weekend or like MLK weekend. Like a long weekend. And it was...

all kids from all different schools and like different schools organized transportation and we went to montreblanc which is like beautiful um i don't even ski i didn't ski even when i was there uh but it was like we were all 19 so everyone was like oh go the bar the bars and everything is there and we took a bus from dc

to Mont-Tremblant oh my god how many hours oh my god 12 like it was like so oh I was expecting way honestly I think it may have been more 12 is long I was expecting way longer than 12 no actually I think it was probably somewhere around I would guess like 20 I don't think it took us a full day probably stopped but it was shocking to like to like go to go that far and not

Like, we know we hit a rest stop every once in a while, but just, like, all the way through. It was far. But it was... Yeah, that was a very... It was a very interesting, very interesting trip. Snow jam, fucking rocks. Yeah, like, it was, like...

They had these parties in the bars and then everybody skied during the day. And then they would do like, they did one big party up at the top of the mountain. I'm going to get. Which was a hell of a time. That sounds like a fucking blast. I'm going to get Canadian flags and like a hat and everything. I'm going to come. I'm going to come back. Little Monty. When I get back in the car. Yeah. To go back to Buffalo. I promise you I'll be decked out in Niagara Falls gear.

And Canada. She's bringing it onto stage with you. Welcome Maria onto stage with just a ton of Canadian memorabilia. Yeah, I'm going to just really go all out there. I'm very excited. Well, anyways, I hope you guys are excited too. What part of Canada is that? Like, when you're at Niagara Falls, what part of Canada? What's the name of the town? Or like, where are we close to? Yeah. Okay. Is it closest? We're going Ontario. Close-ish to Canada.

Quebec maybe closer to Toronto that makes sense honestly being in Detroit was one of the first times I really looked at a map of like Lake Erie and was like wow this is all it's right on the other side it's near Ontario sick I'm gonna pack my passport I cannot forget yeah we cannot forget yeah yep we all have to set that reminder pack your passports because we're going to fucking Canada baby

All right, let's move on to the topics now. Okay, let's get into the topics. We're going to be talking about the Wicked Singalongs. Looks like they stole little Franny's idea and yet no pay cut for her. That's some bullshit. There's some rumors about Pete Davidson and Maria George's dating. Who knows about that? Dave Coulier was unfortunately very sadly diagnosed with cancer. But on top of that, John Stamos died.

took some pictures with Dave wearing a bald cap. People are very upset about it. We'll talk about it. Paul Mezcal and Gracie Abrams. Paul Mezcal. I can't do it anymore. You lost it. You lost it. Paul Mezcal. Mezcal. Paul Mezcal. Paul Mezcal and Gracie Abrams. Spotted at the Gladiator. Potentially still dating, probably. Paul Mezcal. And Kim Kardashian has been flaunting her Tesla robots all over the internet.

I have some dark things to say about that. And we'll get into the pop corner. Take some voicemails. By the way, call in with some spicy hot takes, opinions. We're trying to keep it mostly pop culture. But if you have any questions that are not pop culture related... We may have to mix it up. We may have to mix it up because...

We realize that just doing pop culture, sometimes people aren't going to come with the hottest takes and we really want, we want to get into it. We want to have a little juicy segment, but sometimes it's not so juicy when people don't have the hottest opinions about pop culture. Yeah. I mean, it's also just like you get a lot of just repeat stuff, you know, which is super fair. And I think like people, you want to talk about what's currently going on, but you just, we can't,

keep talking about every week if that makes sense right right do we keep the sound effect that's the question no I think people everyone fucking hate the sound effect so I suggest you fix that yeah I mean that's what popcorn sounds like people we can workshop some sound effects yeah we'll workshop maybe record something yeah oh pop pop pop pop like us doing it or we get a bag of popcorn and record it could be yeah um all right let's get into the topics

It's time to make a night of it with Abercrombie. They have new party looks for every holiday event. And it's your excuse to RSVP yes, because you have a great outfit with Abercrombie. They have dresses, skirts, denim, trousers, and going out tops that can be dressed up

And it's also comfortable to go out in. They also have super soft faux fur fabric, like I talked about. And it's offered in a variety of coats and jackets in which I have honestly a ton of. I have a ton of their faux fur coats and jackets. And I have mid-length. I have long length. I have it all. All from Abercrombie. They have mini, midi, and maxi skirts. Everything you need for this holiday season. And Abercrombie drops new arrivals every week. So download the Abercrombie app.

Yeah, you know, I may have been the catalyst. I think you were the catalyst, sweetheart. I don't think it's a may. I think it's a definite. I think they saw your idea because Kristen Chenoweth herself commented. She did. She probably passed it along. They stole it. They gave you no credit. Yeah. You're welcome, Universal. That's really all I have to say. No invites to any screenings or premieres. I'm going like everybody else on Sunday. But I am...

Honestly, though, I am glad that you're taking the idea because it is a good idea and that's why I suggested it. It's a fantastic idea. Because I think it'll be super helpful for people and the ones that want to just belt their little hearts out when they go to the theater can do it over their Christmas break. Now, having to wait all the way to Christmas break is a while. It's a full month after the movie comes out. But...

Everyone will be in sing-along mode at that point, I feel like. Right, maybe it'll be repeat offenders. Like they saw it one time, but now they want to go back and sing it. Exactly. I feel like that's maybe the goal. Exactly, exactly. I mean, when High School Musical came out, they waited a while for them to put those sing-alongs on air, you know? I will literally never forget where I was when High School Musical 2 sing-along came out. I just won't forget it ever. I know. So that'll be the same for Wicked. Yeah, I think this is, I think it's smart. And honestly, something that they should do for a lot of movie music,

Because people want to go in and sing. And even the concert movies that they've been doing, maybe they should do it for those too. But they'll be doing it over Christmas break. And you're welcome, Universal. You're welcome. Because the fact that you're going to take my girl's idea and not give her any credit. Yeah. It's just the name of the game these days. I don't even know what to say to that. Because it's like...

I have nothing to threaten them with. - No, right. - Besides. - We don't have the upper ground at all. - We don't. We're not universal. So it's like, I could say, you know, like, I can give them like a look, like how dare you, but girl, that's a good idea. Like I'm glad you're doing it. - Exactly. - Can't be too much of a stickler. - Yep. - You know? - Yep. Just take it from the little people. - We didn't patent the idea. - No. - So that's on us. - I gave the idea out for free. - You did. No copyright, nothing.

It was a free idea. I gave the idea for free. So you're welcome. Yep. You're welcome. Was that from Awkward? Awkward, yeah. You're welcome. Moving on.

There were rumors from The Sun, which every time The Sun comes out with something, you should probably know to take it with a grain of salt. But The Sun came out with an article that Pete Davidson is back in rehab. He's not doing well. He's really struggling. And this comes off of a little fling, a little dating situation with Maria Georgis from The Bachelor, who's actually our guest this week in Buffalo. Now, she's opening her mouth on Instagram story. And I'm saying keep it for the show, but she's not listening. So she's posting it on her Instagram story. And she cleared this up.

Which, by the way, it really, I guess, it went from the sun to TikTok. Like, I don't know how much it spread besides that. But I think people on TikTok were like, wait, what? They're dating? That he was dating Mal and Kline? No, I mean, it's like, that's what always happens, though. You know, the sun writes something. It gets picked up by the Daily Mail. And then when the Daily Mail writes, it gets picked up by Page Six. It was a Page Six headline, too, saying, like, Pete Davis in his back.

in rehab right um and it's after it comes you know off of a off of a fling with maria so yeah it's like even though it just came from that one spot it's gotten posted in a lot of different places and once tiktok gets a hold of it too they run wild with it it spreads so she posted on her story never dated pete false rumor i'm friends with his sister case closed

Then she wrote, just spoke to his sister. He's not in rehab and has been sober for months. Can't believe this shit. It's very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. He's literally home. Yeah, I mean, it is insulting to Pete Davidson to just throw out wild rumors about how he's in rehab. He's not doing well when he's home and he's doing fine. I was over for months. She says, yes, I was confused by this statement because I

I don't know if she meant to write her mental health or his mental health. And she wrote, can't believe this shit. It's very insulting to his recovery and my mental health. It's like insulting to his recovery and my mental health. I was like, is it insulting to him because they're insinuating that he's... It's insulting to him because they're insinuating he's not doing well, but he's actually fine. She probably just means it in a way of like...

This is a... You put a rumor out there like that isn't true. That affects people's mental health. Yeah, 100%. Because then you have to prove that it's wrong. But then once it's printed, there are people out there, well, that'll just take it as truth no matter what. Yeah, it's... Even if she... Because...

She posted that on her Instagram story. I would think that some of these publications will write articles about that, but I haven't seen it so far. You know, like it's like right now the headlines are still from like the story from the sun. Right. Not that she's saying it's not true. Right. It must be so frustrating for.

any public figure or celebrity, whatever, when you like, when seriously something's not true and then people just don't want to believe it and it's like you're saying it's not true but people are like, but I still think it's true. It's like, well, okay, just let someone say it's not true. You know what I mean? It's just always a, well, I don't believe you game. If she's saying it's not true, then it's probably not true because or else she wouldn't get on there and start denying it. Like, Maria George is

She's not going to get on there and be like, I never dated Pete Davidson if she dated Pete Davidson. Yeah. In my personal opinion, I think that you probably just wouldn't say anything. You just don't say anything. Yeah. I agree. But...

Also, I think a lot of times people don't say anything even if stuff isn't true because then you do this and then people still don't believe you. So it's kind of like a lose-lose situation. Like you can really never win with the internet once they believe something. But yeah, this was a random story. It really came out of nowhere. It wasn't even like any pictures of them came out. It was just like a random article because she and Pete Davidson's sister like each other's posts. So weird. That must mean you're dating Pete Davidson. Yeah.

Stretch. Yeah, it really took a, it just like all of a sudden Maria George was dating Pete Davidson. Yeah. Which I, when I originally saw the story, I was like, huh, makes sense. Like I believed it. And then obviously she clarified that that's not true.

But yeah, Pete Davidson, he was just recently, he made a little appearance on- It wouldn't be a shocking couple, but yeah. Wouldn't be. Yeah. Yeah, that's why when I saw it, I thought, oh, maybe they're running around New York City, like could be possible to me. He was just on SNL recently, but not the case apparently. Not the case. Talking about another couple, Gracie Abrams. Paul. Paul. Paul Meskel. Meskel.

We're getting there. Paul Mezcal. Mezcal. We're trying to... People say Mezcal like the alcohol, and he says that is not right. It's more like a silent, quick S. Yeah, but then when... Exactly. When you hear him pronounce his own name, obviously it's with an Irish accent. So, Paul Mezcal. Paul Mezcal. Yeah. And Gracie Abrams. And Gracie Abrams. At the Gladiator premiere. What a high...

I mean, obviously mega budget film in the first place, of course, Gladiator 2. But the marketing, I mean, they've had quite the budget as well. It's tough because you're competing with Wicked. And I believe the projections is like Wicked's going to be the number one movie and Gladiator 2 will be two. But they seem to have quite the premiere in L.A. last night. Like, star studded, everybody was there, lots of...

like influencers and celebrities and massive carpet and...

This is going to seem like quite the event. This is going to sound like we were supposed to be in the video. Like a Madison. No, we were not. No, we were invited to the gladiator event in Vegas that all the influencers were at all the Love Island people like da da da da. We couldn't. You were on. Yes. And the invite came across our desk when you were on your honeymoon. And it was for a weekend that we were going to L.A. for the rare event. But you had to come home for a wedding.

And yeah, so it really wasn't going to work. But that invite came across our desk when you were on your honeymoon. Wow. Yes. I don't think I even realized that. I think I told you, but I think it was just like. Yeah, I mean, one year out the other at that point, right? Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what happened. But we were invited to that whole like Gladiator 2 event they had with all the Love Island people and all the influencers in Vegas, that whole big thing. Oh, that would have been fun. Yeah. Yeah.

We couldn't make it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Couldn't make it. No, but I... It seemed like quite the event, but there... You don't really see those two... We were supposed to be in the video. Yeah, you don't really see those two at many...

out together so much. You've seen paparazzi photos of them, but they didn't walk the carpet together, but they were photographed together inside. Paul Maskell. They make a handsome couple, those two. Yeah, that is a nice couple. Makes sense in my brain. Yeah, I know. It is nice. It is interesting that he, and we talked about this before, but it is always my first thought, is that he was dating Phoebe Bridgers at a time, and now Gracie Abrams.

And they're just, I mean, it's just like two Taylor Swift openers. It feels like the same. Watch out, Sabrina. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Barry. She loves an Irish guy too. Yeah. They took a picture together. Oh, you nailed that. They took a picture together. Governor's.

Awards? What's that thing? I don't really know either. But it's Everybody Goes. And it's the Irish Minners Shining. I'm excited. I actually just watched Paul on Hot Ones.

How was it? Full circle. How'd he do? Yeah. Um, fine. You know, it was, it's, it's tough. You get to the end of those wings and everybody, everybody starts to go down. I also love what Paul said about like, he was asked about, uh, meeting the, meeting the King and he was like, yeah, I'm Irish. So like, not really top of my, top of my list. Um,

Great answer. Super fair. Great answer. Super fair. It's like, yeah, I'm Irish, so thanks. Doesn't really matter to him. He's like, I'm good with the royal family. Doesn't tickle his fancy, really. People get offended, which I totally understand if...

a lot of Americans I feel like would just loop like all the UK together and it's like it's very separate totally I think that that is a massive generalization and it goes like so much deeper than that right for sure yeah yeah yeah yeah he didn't care about meeting the king no and why would he no he's not my king nope yeah not my hashtag not my king not my king

Dave Coulier, who horrible, was just diagnosed with cancer, he spoke about. Although it seems like hopefully...

It will be treatable. He talked about that. But of course, something comes from this that is not about Dave Coulier having cancer. Of course, the internet, you know, loses their mind about something that he does with a friend. And that friend is John Stamos, where Dave Coulier...

Shaved his head and John Stamos put on a bald cap and Photoshop and pose with Dave and they posted it on Instagram. And to them, it was like a funny thing. It was comforting to Dave. That's his friend. But the Internet really got upset and offended by John Stamos not actually shaving his head and just putting on a bald cap for this moment. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I don't really feel that anyone should be offended in this moment when it appears Dave is fine with it. And he, there's a lot of negativity on Instagram and he wrote like, you know, I'm finding comfort, like we find comfort in laughter. He's my friend. We laughed about it. Like, you know, it was funny for him to show up at my house in a bald cap. Like it gave me a good laugh. And so it's just one of those things where like, if it's not funny,

If it wasn't something that bothered him, then it should be fine. I mean, you can say a lot of things about John Stamos. Maybe the number one thing, the man loves his hair. And that has always been the joke in Full House. It's Uncle Jesse in real life. Yeah, Full House. Uncle Jesse fucking was obsessed with his hair. So I don't know how many people were expecting John Stamos to shave his head, but...

If you're, you know, a lifelong Full House fan, then you know that Uncle Jesse teases his hair very seriously. Right. And would it have been very nice? Yeah. Yes. I'm sure Dave would have really appreciated that. But I think it's funnier as a joke. Like, I think he meant it more as a joke to make him laugh. And in the sense of it being like a ha-ha funny joke, wearing a bald cap.

Comes off funnier. Right. And I think that makes sense. Yeah. And I think they're that's their friendship. And if Dave thinks it's funny and isn't offended, then, you know, I don't know why so many people are so worked up over this. Yeah. Now, if you are somebody who has had cancer and are offended by this, then that is funny.

You're right. Obviously, it's like we don't know what that's like. But there are a ton of people getting upset for Dave Kulia that aren't in his position. Right. And he's like, it's fine. I think it's funny. Right. So I don't this is taking the Internet by storm. They're up in arms about John Stamos not actually shaving his head. Right, right, right. And it's like that's like not the important part of this.

No, they're trying to have some laughs. He had to make an announcement, have a laugh about it, trying to get through. It's a very tough time for Dave to get through. And John Stamos, being a good friend, was there for him. They've been friends for a long time, and I think he appreciated that. And then it's just like, it's sad when that takes a turn for Dave, and then he has to...

put out a statement about it and the whole thing. Right. And then it spirals into something else. He's dealing with some very serious stuff right now. He doesn't want to have to deal with backlash from the internet also for his friend. Like he's got some real life problems going on that he has to tackle. Yeah. Not whether or not people are mad on the internet about something him and his friend did together to make him feel better. Right. It was for him to feel better and it did make him laugh. So yeah.

I don't know. That was really crazy, honestly. Moving on, last topic. Kim Kardashian keeps flaunting her Tesla robots all over the internet. And let me tell you something. When these robots turn around and kill the Kardashians, it's going to be bad news. It's going to be bad news. When the evidence is out there... You went with the strongest point first.

I did. I really went in with the strongest point first. Because my brain, when I think of robots, goes to dark robot movies where the robots turn around and start demolishing human beings. Look, that Tesla robot looked a lot like the iRobots. They are very realistic robots. And my brain went to the darkest thing. It's like the robots are in their home. And then what happens when...

Something bad happens. It's a level that is really quite scary because they're just the robots are just going to take over. They are. I hope I'm dead by the time that happens, to be honest. Well, I don't know. It seems like it's happening at a rapid pace. And now they're in Kim Kardashian's home. And I am literally picturing like a scary movie parody play out.

Where Kim's having a nice day and all of a sudden the robot's eyes turn red and they just start attacking the Kardashians. No, it's, it's, yeah, it's a dark thought, but I don't really like any, all those thoughts of that, that kind of advanced robotics scares the shit out of me. It's terrifying. Yeah. I'm not saying it in like a ha ha. No, I'm saying it in a, this is terrifying. Yeah. Yeah.

I know. Kim should watch out. I feel like they'd be surveilling me, you know? Yeah, they're recording you. Of course.

Elon Musk is just watching. Elon Musk is just watching all your info. Yeah, Elon Musk just has a camera in the Kardashian house. He's just spying. Elon's got a feed right into their house. The fact that it's... That's actually probably true. Elon Musk is spying on the Kardashians. He's like, hey, you guys... He's like, Trump, you want to watch the Kardashian feed right now? Yeah, Elon could probably see straight into anybody who's got to test a robot he's got full access to. My mind is blown right now because I'm like, what? The fact that you just said that, that just hit me like, oh my God, what if...

They are just spying on the Kardashians. Yeah, and they're like, let's give these to all the powerful Hollywood people and then we're going to spy on them. That's... I mean, I don't know why they wouldn't... That is some thought right there. That is some thought. Damn. I mean, that's crazy. Like, these robots are terrifying. Apparently they're called Optimus.

Optimus Prime right isn't that like the standard robot name so everyone names their robots Transformers sick name right sick couldn't come up with something original oh man yeah Tesla Optimus Robot Friend I wouldn't let those robots around my kids I wouldn't want to be near it myself no not even like obviously I don't want to be near myself but these robots are in the same home as your kids too I know

It's a terrifying thought. There's nothing funny and exciting about it. It's just scary.

I know we shouldn't be living in a world where real robots are taking place. Like it was like when we were younger, it was like, Oh my God, imagine we had robots. And it's like, wait, no, now we do have robots. It's not even like that shocking. Like I saw that video. I'm like, Oh, we know how the story goes. The robots take over our jobs. They're then sitting in our place. They have a podcast. They have a very popular pop culture podcast. Yep. They're giving all the pop culture news talking about other robots.

We don't even exist anymore. They're talking about robots on the red carpet together. They're talking about new robot relationships. This is how deep it's going to get. So buckle up, everybody, for the robot takeover, starting with the Kardashians. These robots are going to cost between $20,000 and $30,000. Per robot? Per robot, yeah. During Tesla's We Robot event, that's what they called it, We Robot.

Event in October, rapper 2 Chainz had a one-on-one conversation with one of the futuristic machines, though it was later revealed a Tesla employee was controlling the robot remotely.

Oh, yeah, that was the thing. Remember that? People thought they were just operating on their own, but then there were just people in the back controlling all them. Yeah. So there's somebody probably back at Tesla where Kim Kardashian thinks, oh, you're Hawaiian, she says to the robot, by the way. Absurd. Absurd thing to say to the robot. Oh, you're Hawaiian. What? I don't know. I don't know what fucking video we're watching. Once you start to mix the robot...

With the AI and the AI and the... It's just, you know, we'll have self-thinking robot, like a full-blown robot that'll just...

move around and think for itself basically imagine just walking down the street and you'd see you'd see a robot walking towards you like he's carrying his briefcase little top hat on yeah he's ready to go we were in LA I was like on my phone and I looked up and whatever that those things are those are those are everywhere I know that scared the shit out of me the robot delivery things those are also scary yeah

I just can't help but think they're going to come to life. And I know that's like a movie plot, but it's a fear of mine. Yeah, super fair. Have you ever seen that Ex Machina movie? Yes. It's terrifying. Yeah? Well... Look, if humans can think up of the ideas to make these robot movies, eventually the robots will...

Learn for themselves. Yeah, the robots are going to watch the movie. They're going to be like, oh, this is a good idea. No, I mean, it literally is like a parody scary movie movie. I say movie twice because the name of scary movie is the name scary movie where they play the Kim Kardashian video of her being like, oh, you're Hawaiian and doing the heart. And then all of a sudden the robot turns around and starts killing her. Like it's literally a parody movie playing out.

I hate it. I hate it. It's terrifying. It's absolutely terrifying. And I think she should stop flaunting her robots online. I think that's fair. I think she should stop flaunting her robots online because...

They're going to get a big head. Well, look, Elon's watching her for sure. The robots are going to get a huge head. They're going to get all this fame and they're going to be like, then that's when they're going to become evil. Kim's robot specifically is going to get millions of followers. And then they're just going to start a Kardashian robot family. Robot influencers. Oh my God. And the other robots are going to be jealous of the influence robots. It's only a matter of time before robots are telling us how to do our makeup. For sure.

For sure. They're getting all the ad deals. They're getting all the sponsors. Everything's taken away from us. They're wearing Abercrombie. Yep. It's a whole thing. Yep. All right. Well, that ends on a scary note. I was going to say, what a... But I'm going to head to Niagara Falls in Canada before the robots take over. We're excited for the future. Exactly. Exactly.

All right, let's get into the pop corner where we take your voicemails about your hottest takes, your opinions, whatever you want to talk about this week. Let's get into it. Hey, guys. Love the pod. This is Angel from Michigan.

I've never done this before. I think you met Angel. We did.

So I'm just curious what you think about it and how would you feel if you were a guest on her show? I know you guys have met her before and she was very nice, but I don't know. It's just a little too close for me. All right. Love you. Bye. Now look, as people who have spent years

an afternoon with Drew Barrymore, I think those that really know Drew, like us, could say that that's just who Drew is, you know? Right. That's her. That's her in real life. That's her on the show. If you're lucky enough to know Drew like we know her. If you're lucky enough to get that arm tickle from Drew, then you cherish it. Let me tell you, you take it. But I'll say this.

Coming from like the Martha Stewart of it all. Like the situation that happened between her and Martha. Like Martha is not somebody you are getting touchy feely with. And they are like both famous, right? Like we're not famous like Drew. So Drew touches my arm. I'm excited. I'm cherishing the moment. Drew touches Martha Stewart arm. She's slapping her and saying, get the fuck off me. I feel like.

people seeing this for the first time and judging Drew Barrymore are looking at it from that positioning of being like, oh my God, Drew Barrymore is being so touchy feely with these people right away. Whereas like maybe they don't know the backstory of how they met, how long they've known each other. Like this is Drew's thing. This is what she does on the shows. So I feel like it was going on across very genuine. Yeah. If you're going on the show and your people are prepping you about Drew Barrymore, she's going to probably,

caress you and make you feel nice and safe. She's going to talk real close to your face. She's going to talk real close to your face. And that's kind of like what you're getting with Drew Barrymore. Martha Stewart, not that kind of person. Martha Stewart does not strike me as somebody who wants to be that close to somebody else at all. Unless you're another gender, she said. Yeah, she said you're the wrong gender. But when Drew Barrymore slightly grazed my arm,

It's a moment I'll never forget. Yeah, exactly. But I'm not Martha Stewart. Yeah. Hi, Rianne, Fran, and Noah. This is Jordan from Chicago. I am dying to know your thoughts on all of the recent Dancing with the Stars rumors. I feel like my TikTok for you page is just filled with rumors from...

Carrie Ann might be leaving as a judge after this season and being replaced to people saying that there's so much hate for Julie Ann and that she might be replaced as a host. I even heard that Jen Tran might replace her as a host. So I don't know where all these rumors are coming from, but I am...

dying to know your thoughts. Um, I also am seeing that Alan and Emma are maybe hooking up. So there's a lot of rumors happening on TikTok. Would love to hear your thoughts. Jordan would love to know what side of TikTok you're on. That's that saying Jen's going to be the new host of dancing with the stars. I haven't reached that side yet. I've certainly gotten the Alan and Emma stuff. I think that's been a rumor for a long time. Um,

There's always I actually I actually watched a whole video that somebody did on TikTok of like a deep dive of like Sasha and Emma's relationship and like just like Sasha's dating history on the show. But Emma and Alan have always seemed to be close and like there's always been rumors that there was something going on like the last couple years. So that's I look it's definitely possible. Yeah.

As far as like switching up the judging, I hope they do. I think Carrie Ann is great, but I think like the show is, the show's evolving from the way that right now, like social media is so behind it, like it never has been before, I think. And I feel like if they want that, if they want to hold on to that younger audience that they have right now, switching it up, switching up the judges may be a good idea. Even if it's just like,

bringing in ex-pros and keeping it in the family. I think people would love that because the pros know it so well and it's been...

You know, 20 years. It's like almost it's like been a long time. So it's like if you want to do you want to keep Derek like if you want to maybe you throw in PETA or like another pro dancer that's been on the show for like a really long time. I know everybody loved when Mark was a guest judge. He was great.

So they should probably switch. They could switch it up. I don't know if they will, but they could. As far as Jen being the next host, I don't know about that one.

I don't think that's a fit, but you're the expert, you know? You're the Dancing with the Stars expert, so I trust your opinion. No, I just think that's, like, I mean, if that were to happen, fucking good for you, Jen. Like, that's a steal of the century. Julianne's always rubbed people the wrong way a little bit. I don't really know why. But even when she was, like, a pro dancer,

She, like, rubbed people the wrong way. So... I don't know what it is. But... I think she's good as a host. So I don't have any issues with her as a host. I'll make one comment about Derek Hough. That...

Him trying to like talk in cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Has to end. He's always done that. He's always like he like one of the ones he said, like you ate and left no crumbs. Yeah. I was like, oh, yeah. No, this has to stop. Right. Well, that's what I'm saying. I think there is a way to to age down the judging a little bit or just kind of like.

switch it up a little where it's pros on pros because then the pros like understand more of what's going on. I mean last week doing that I mean now I feel silly because the semifinals will have already happened at this point but like doing the instant

dance thing that they did was like fucking crazy. So they're obviously trying new things and changing different things. But and like Carrie, somebody spoke to Carrie Ann because she changed her tune big time. Everything was like flipped.

But never forget. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if there's changes coming from the judging, I would not be surprised. I still really don't even know what's going on with Jen and Sasha. They seem to be together all the time, but like not actually together. I don't know. Jen went on Tish and Brandi Cyrus's show.

And they like jokingly use the term boyfriend. And she was like, oh, God, like, don't let him hear that. Like, he'll freak out, like whatever. So I'm like, I feel like I don't know what's going on there. But I feel like she could be she could be wanting something that I don't know if he's like all in for. It was also very deep. If you don't know the the breakup reason between like Sasha and Emma are not that far apart in age. But when they got married, like they.

When they split, a reason that Emma has said of why they split is because she just wasn't quite ready to have kids yet. It's not that she doesn't want to have kids, but she's just not at that time. She's not there right now. And that she didn't want to hold Sasha back from having that opportunity. So it's just kind of interesting to see that kind of be the potential reason for a divorce. And then this be...

Like his next relationship. I don't know if that makes sense. Because arguably some people would say, and I saw this like in a couple comments that they're like, it's interesting. There has to be other reasons because arguably of like her looking out for Sasha's timeline, you know, could take longer for him to be divorced, single, dating, find somebody, get like have a kid that way. Cause it'll be the same amount of time.

So I don't know. Just interesting. Yeah. Hi, Rian Fran. This is Colby. First, I had a great time at your Detroit show recently. But second, I need your opinion. I feel like I have a tendency to ship couples in movies and TV shows that like shouldn't end up together. So, for example, I always wanted Troy to end up with Sharpay.

And like I wanted Hermione to be with Harry instead of Ron and Serena to be with Nate from Gossip Girl. And those obviously aren't the people they end up with. So I need to know from your opinion, do you have any like fictional couples you ship? But that's not what's meant to be. Super curious. Thank you, guys. Bye.

That's a good question. I feel like the one that originally comes to mind is Lucas and Peyton because he was always with somebody else. But then they ended up together. They do end up together. So it's like, okay, they do end up together. So you kind of were rooting for the thing that was going to happen. But that's the one that comes to my mind. But I was never rooting for Sharpay and Troy to be together. Yeah.

You know, I was really a big... Like, I loved Chuck and Blair so much, but obviously they end up together. So it's like... You're naming people who are together. Yeah, I'm just naming the ones of the people that I was a fan of that ended up together. No, I think I really rooted for... Why am I spacing on Nina Dobrev's... What is her name? In The Vampire Diaries? Yeah.

Elena. Oh, Elena. I'm like, I was big Elena and Stefan. Like, big. And it took me a while to come around to date. Like, first watch...

Like, when I was watching the show when it was on TV, like, I did not like her and Damon together at all. Oh, really? Yeah. Hated it. Oh, man. Hated it. I was, like, so pro-Damon. You were pro-Stefan. No, yeah. So pro-Stefan. And then watching it again, I, like, my tune completely shifted. I also think them, like, once I realized they were dating in real life, I mean, that happened while they were obviously on the show. But...

I was very Elena and Stefan. Another one that ruffles some feathers is Gilmore Girls. And I think I, you know, I've jumped around, but everyone has always, and you change as you get older. Like now I see it. But when I was watching the show and even probably up to like when I was rewatching it in college and even those times when I would rewatch it,

I wanted Rory and Dean to be together so badly. I don't know what it was that I loved about Rory and Dean. And that was just so wrong. It was just so wrong. But at the time watching it, like I was like, I love Rory and Dean. I tend to hold on to the to the first love.

in a TV show movie-like story. It's like when they flip to somebody else, I'm like, ugh, no! Go back to the first guy, but then, you know, it's not that. That's not normally the case, but yeah. I think a classic one is like Team Jacob. It was so hardcore Team Jacob. Oh, yeah, I'm on that. Yeah, so hardcore Team Jacob. Yeah, totally. She'd be alive. You know what? This is like so...

Not in the same realm of shows we're talking about, but in Friends when Rachel and Joey get together is my least favorite storyline. It didn't make sense at all. And now I'm like, yeah, still opposite. But it's like it didn't fucking make sense at all for Rachel and Joey to get together. Yeah. It's like, no, no, no world. Is this actually happening? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely not.

Here's one Emily in Paris. I'm probably one of the only people that for like even part of the last few seasons like wanted it to work with Gabrielle. Now granted when they threw in this hot Italian at the end of the last season I'm all for that. But they had me like there's still a small part of me that roots for him and her to be together even though like

logically they should not. He kind of sucks. Not kind of, he does suck. So, there's still something that I hold onto there. But if they did end up together, I'd be low-key be kind of happy. Yeah.

I have a dark one. I mean, Lucy and Steven in Tell Me Lies. It's like, they're so fucking horrible, you might as well be together. No, right, right. Like, they both suck. Yeah, yeah, so fair, so fair. It comes to a point, it's like, you two maybe deserve each other. Yeah, yeah.

Hi, guys. First things first, I just want to say that I was at the Detroit show and had so much fun. I truly experienced Starstruck for the first time when I saw Marty and Noah. Oh, I forgot about that. I didn't put that in for that. My hot take is Taylor Swift. And I'm 50% Swifty myself, so this is why it's a hot take. But I feel like I haven't seen an interview in the last two years or so where...

whether it's the movie industry, the music industry, where the interviewer has not asked a single question about Taylor Swift. It's always, what's your favorite song? What's your favorite era? What's your favorite thing to Taylor Swift? And I think these celebrities are sick of it. No one's going to stand up to Taylor Swift, so they're just going to take all these questions. And I want to know what you guys think.

All right. Thanks. Bye. I think that is so completely fair. And it's also something I think when I'm watching an interview that has nothing. If it has to do with Taylor Swift, ask the Taylor Swift questions. But if you're on the red carpet for Gladiator 2. Mm-hmm.

There is no reason that somebody should be asking about Taylor Swift, in my opinion. Like I, if it has nothing to do with you. Yeah. I, there are times where it's so out of place and you're like, why is this being asked right now? This is, this makes zero sense. This, this has nothing to do with the movie, TV show, anything they're promoting. Um, they have no relation to Taylor. They haven't talked about her once. And they just randomly ask a random celebrity about Taylor Swift. I'm kind of with you. I'm like, there's,

This is so random. If there's a tie to Taylor or there's a way to loop it in, loop it in that I totally understand because it's like the biggest thing happening right now. So it's like easy to loop that into a question when it makes sense. But when it doesn't fit, I'm with you. I'm like, this is random. Yeah, I felt like more in the middle ground with this. It doesn't really bother me as much. I get it. It's probably overdone for sure. But...

She's the biggest star in the world. So I just feel like it's relevant right now. So when interviewers are trying to ask celebrities like just current more pop culture takes, they have to do like quick interviews.

They're on a carpet where they get maybe 45 seconds with somebody and you're supposed to be asking quick, rapid-fire questions. I think, weirdly enough, now a go-to is like, what era are you? It's just like, what's your zodiac sign? That's just how it's almost...

Turned into a little bit. So it doesn't bother me too much. But yeah, there it is. It is interesting when it's like on a carpet that it just has there's no connection whatsoever to Taylor Swift and they mix in a Taylor Swift question. But it's also just like it's just what's so hot right now. It's I'm not saying it's not annoying, but it's so hot right now where it's going to

As an interviewer, like, they... And you're on a red carpet. Like, you're hoping to get something that gets picked up. You want, like, your interaction to go viral. You want a story to be made. And, you know, Taylor Swift pays the bills. Yeah, I mean, I think it's not really about me finding it annoying. Like, I couldn't care less about what people are asked on a red carpet. I think on a celebrity standpoint, like, if you're an actor or actress and you're getting asked these questions, I would imagine some of them are like,

Right. Ask me something about myself. Yeah. Taylor Swift thinks like, is she like, why do they keep bringing me up? Or is she like, I bet, I bet Taylor Swift is also like, why are they asking Paul Misko questions about Taylor? You know what I'm saying? Like for them, I'm thinking like if I'm in their shoes, right. Oh, this,

This is my movie. Some people just bring up Taylor Swift on the carpet too. Like they, some, you know, yeah. Well, it's like any, if it fits, it fits, but there's celebrities bringing it up and then, and then, and then you ask a question, then it fits. Yeah. Sure. I think it's just like when it's totally random. Yeah. Like you're asking Hugh Grant, uh,

like his you know what I mean like then it's like Hugh Grant we all know Hugh Grant no no he'd probably be like shut up right yeah I think it's just where it where it fits all right that wraps up the popcorn
