transcript

Speaker 1:
[00:00] This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation.

Speaker 2:
[00:06] Alrighty, what's this?

Speaker 1:
[00:09] What did your shirt say?

Speaker 2:
[00:10] Hall and Oates.

Speaker 1:
[00:11] Hall and Oates, got it.

Speaker 2:
[00:13] Big Hall and Oates guy.

Speaker 1:
[00:14] I thought it said date on the bottom, and I was like, date? What are you wearing a dating shirt for?

Speaker 2:
[00:20] Hall and Oates, the great duo that are no longer friends, which is very sad.

Speaker 1:
[00:25] Oh, that is sad.

Speaker 2:
[00:26] I know. Darryl Hall, John Oates, I think they live in Nashville, actually.

Speaker 1:
[00:31] Most people do.

Speaker 2:
[00:32] That's true, especially in the music industry. OK, so I have to ask you, I'm sure you're not going to want to like have an opinion about, I don't know, maybe not. For Miley's Hannah Montana reunion, Alex Earl was the host of it, right? Alex Cooper. I can't see this is the problem that I have with this few that's happening right now. I don't know who either of them are. I know they're both named Alex and they're both pretty blondes and I know they're both don't like each other. Is that about right?

Speaker 1:
[01:02] That sounds right.

Speaker 2:
[01:03] So you had Alex Cooper, but you are friends with Alex Earl. I know you've been on her show.

Speaker 1:
[01:07] No, I've never met her. Oh, OK.

Speaker 2:
[01:10] I'm just, it's all backwards.

Speaker 1:
[01:12] I've been on Alex Cooper's show, Call Her Daddy.

Speaker 2:
[01:14] You have?

Speaker 1:
[01:15] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[01:16] OK. Well, anyways, what do you make of all this drama?

Speaker 1:
[01:19] I think Dave Portnoy is having a field day with it.

Speaker 2:
[01:22] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[01:22] I don't know Alex Earl at all. I've never met her. I've been around Alex Cooper twice, I think, and she's always been nice to me. And I had a great time on her show. I don't know what The Feud is about. I've heard hearsay, I guess. What I know is Alex Cooper has this huge podcast network and signed Alex Earl.

Speaker 2:
[01:40] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[01:41] What was it? Hot Mess, I think, was the podcast signed to her network. She was there for a hot minute and then she left and no one really knew why. I've heard people say that it's just because, actually, I think David Day was the one I heard say it. Like Alex Earl was always too big for Unwell Network. Like she didn't need them. She has enough followers and enough whatever to do her own thing. And that's what everyone thought it was. But now people are saying that Alex Cooper was mean girl to her. So I don't know. All I can say is that my experience with Alex Cooper has been great.

Speaker 2:
[02:18] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[02:18] Well, I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[02:20] You know, I wish them both the best. At this point, I'm not even sure.

Speaker 1:
[02:24] They're both fine.

Speaker 2:
[02:25] Yeah, that's the thing. They're both so rich, right?

Speaker 1:
[02:29] Yeah, they're so rich and young and hot and part of me is like, is this a PR stunt? Because they're both just getting so much attention from it. Like, and they're both so fucking smart. Yeah, that maybe they planned it. I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[02:43] Dave Portner is just sitting on the beach in the beach in Florida, doing his tea by the sea and which sounds like something you would do.

Speaker 1:
[02:51] If I'm being honest, I'm annoyed with that.

Speaker 2:
[02:53] He came up with that before I did when I was in paradise paradise, because it's good. Surely I've done a tea by the sea and there's some sort of I mean, that's all it is. I'm getting the tea by the sea in paradise, which by the way, do we think that paradise ever come back?

Speaker 1:
[03:09] No.

Speaker 2:
[03:09] No, it's dead, huh?

Speaker 1:
[03:10] Dead.

Speaker 2:
[03:11] You think that the bachelor, the bachelor ever come back?

Speaker 1:
[03:14] If anything comes back, I think it's got to be the bachelor and that's it.

Speaker 2:
[03:17] What a sad, sad turn of affairs because that was a good job for me.

Speaker 1:
[03:22] It was a great job for you, but honestly, I was kind of over the show.

Speaker 2:
[03:25] If we went and did the show again, I'd really push for like, can we just go back to where it was and have the same kind of thing? I really liked that old nostalgia, the campiness of that place and season like four and five and six. That was like the golden age of Bachelor in Paradise.

Speaker 1:
[03:44] It was the golden age of life.

Speaker 2:
[03:46] I know. I was young. I was in my thirties.

Speaker 1:
[03:51] Oh, anyways, it was good.

Speaker 2:
[03:54] The music was great.

Speaker 1:
[03:56] Instagram didn't exist.

Speaker 2:
[03:58] I mean, yeah, it did.

Speaker 1:
[03:59] Maybe it did. People didn't care about it as much. It was really nice.

Speaker 2:
[04:02] No, they did not at all. That was nice. What's going on with you?

Speaker 1:
[04:05] I just had a facial at home and it was so lovely.

Speaker 2:
[04:08] Someone came to your house to rip off your skin on your face.

Speaker 1:
[04:11] She did and it is glowing. You are. I mean, do you not see the glow?

Speaker 2:
[04:15] Yeah, you've got glow for a show.

Speaker 1:
[04:18] It's actually insane. It's so sick. I wish it would stay like this. It looks so good. Yeah, this woman, her name is Tammy Fender, and she just moved to Nashville, I think from Florida. And she comes to your house and gives you this incredible facial. And all the products that she uses are all organic and she makes them all that same day. None of them sit or have a shelf life or anything. It's all very pure organic ingredients. I'm a huge fan. I mean, the shot, like, that's crazy.

Speaker 2:
[04:51] Yeah. You look like a porcelain doll over there. I do.

Speaker 1:
[04:54] I'm here for it.

Speaker 2:
[04:55] I've never had a facial. Should I get one?

Speaker 1:
[04:57] I was gonna ask you if you've ever had one. I feel like you would enjoy it. Really? Yeah. I mean, and if you get like a good facial, you know, if you go to someone good, like Tammy, they do the facial stuff, but like in between the steps, they like massage your arms, massage your neck, massage your hands. Like, it's kind of like an all inclusive experience, you know, if you go, if you get someone good.

Speaker 2:
[05:18] Got it. Okay. Yeah, but then is your face all fucked up for a couple days?

Speaker 1:
[05:23] No, what do you mean? It looks like, look at my face. I literally just got done.

Speaker 2:
[05:26] I know, but I feel like it's going to get like red and like, no, it's like, because it's been scrubbed.

Speaker 1:
[05:31] I have great skin and it doesn't get red. But no, you just have to go to someone good that's going to assess your skin when she starts or he starts, maybe. And then they use the correct products. And like, you know, like it depends on how deep you're, like, there's so many different kinds of facials. You could be getting a chemical peel. You could just be getting a hydrating facial. You could be getting extractions. Like, there's all sorts of things. So I would say since you're a facial virgin to start slow and just do like a nice, like, you know, hydrating, rejuvenating facial.

Speaker 2:
[06:03] Okay. Okay. How much are we talking about here?

Speaker 1:
[06:06] I mean, if you get a good one, they're not cheap.

Speaker 2:
[06:10] What are we talking about?

Speaker 1:
[06:11] 200 bucks? I think you can get a good, if you go somewhere else, not to the house. I think you can get a really good facial for 200 bucks.

Speaker 2:
[06:20] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[06:21] Yep.

Speaker 2:
[06:23] I don't know if I need anything for $200, but...

Speaker 1:
[06:25] You can get a great facial for $300.

Speaker 2:
[06:28] I don't, I mean, is it coming with a happy ending? Like, what's happening here?

Speaker 1:
[06:34] I mean, mine don't, the ones I've never had that, but I'm sure you live in Los Angeles. I'm sure you can find it.

Speaker 2:
[06:40] All right.

Speaker 1:
[06:40] All right.

Speaker 2:
[06:40] Now we're talking. I'm just kidding. All right. Well, maybe I'll get one of those. Maybe I won't. What do they do? Do they, like, squeeze all the blackheads out of your nose?

Speaker 1:
[06:49] They use a special tool, it's called extractions.

Speaker 2:
[06:53] Gross.

Speaker 1:
[06:53] And yeah, so if you want that, which I like that, and I don't ever have too many. So, and if you get someone good, then they do it where they don't, it doesn't make a red spot, it doesn't do anything. But yeah, I like them to get the little, I like the shit to come out of my pores, you know? Like, it doesn't need to be in there. And I'm not gonna do it because it's scary and painful. But when they do it, it just happens so quick, you barely feel it.

Speaker 2:
[07:16] Lovely.

Speaker 1:
[07:18] Yeah, it's nice.

Speaker 2:
[07:19] Well, good. I'm glad your skin is rejuvenated and glowing.

Speaker 1:
[07:25] Ready to go be covered in dust for the entire weekend in Palm Springs.

Speaker 2:
[07:29] Why is it? Is it Coachella part two? What country style?

Speaker 1:
[07:34] Stagecoach, baby.

Speaker 2:
[07:35] Stagecoach, bro. I wonder if any Bachelor Nation folks will be going to Stagecoach and fucking each other.

Speaker 1:
[07:42] 100,000%, yes.

Speaker 2:
[07:44] God, those are the days when people will go to Stagecoach and just absolutely ruin everything for Paradise.

Speaker 1:
[07:50] Yep.

Speaker 2:
[07:51] I do miss those days. Are you playing Stagecoach?

Speaker 1:
[07:53] I'm not playing the actual festival this year, but I am playing what some might call the it after party of the weekend.

Speaker 2:
[08:01] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[08:03] It's called Desert Nights and I play Sunday night with Two Friends and Big X the Plug.

Speaker 2:
[08:09] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[08:10] So that's exciting.

Speaker 2:
[08:12] Is Two Friends the name of a guy or like, or is it?

Speaker 1:
[08:15] Two Friends is a DJ duo.

Speaker 2:
[08:17] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[08:18] You don't know Two Friends?

Speaker 2:
[08:19] I don't know a single DJ.

Speaker 1:
[08:22] Hello. Yes, you do.

Speaker 2:
[08:24] I know you.

Speaker 1:
[08:25] I know. You know Diplo.

Speaker 2:
[08:27] I've heard of Diplo. Calvin Harris.

Speaker 1:
[08:30] Calvin, he is a DJ.

Speaker 2:
[08:31] That's a DJ. Who's the Asian guy with long hair?

Speaker 1:
[08:34] Griffin?

Speaker 2:
[08:35] Nope.

Speaker 1:
[08:35] Oh, Steve Aoki.

Speaker 2:
[08:36] Yes, Aoki. I've heard of that. Anyways, you're the most famous DJ I have ever heard of.

Speaker 1:
[08:42] Well, I love that for me. But yeah, I'm playing that and that should be super sick. And before that on Saturday during the day, actually, surely, surely this is going to be allowed to be announced by Wednesday. I got in trouble for posting the flyer too early today, but I'm playing a party for Levi's during the day on Saturday. And lo and behold, my little sister, Noah, is also performing at this party. And I didn't know until they sent me the flyer.

Speaker 2:
[09:09] Have you talked to her? You like we should share a hotel room.

Speaker 1:
[09:12] Well, I sent it to her today and I was like, LOL, I've been booked on this party for weeks and they just sent me the flyer. And I guess you're performing. She didn't know either. It was funny. So that should be fun.

Speaker 2:
[09:21] Nice.

Speaker 1:
[09:22] And Noah is playing the festival.

Speaker 2:
[09:24] Oh, she is. Who's she bringing on? She always, I feel like does like fun claps.

Speaker 1:
[09:29] I mean, I can't say because then I would ruin it.

Speaker 2:
[09:31] Say it and then I'll bleep it out. I'm excited to hear about everything that happens at Stagecoach. When does this happen?

Speaker 1:
[09:37] This happens this weekend. So Noah plays Friday at the festival. Saturday is our party, Levi's. Sunday is Desert Nights. And then I'll be talking to you, I'm sure, on Monday.

Speaker 2:
[09:48] Yeah. You want to start the show?

Speaker 1:
[09:49] Sure.

Speaker 2:
[09:51] I think it's you.

Speaker 1:
[13:57] What is going on? Oh, well, did you like see any of Coachella? I've been watching the Coachella live stream. And I got to say, it's so much better to watch it from home. No, you didn't watch anything.

Speaker 2:
[14:08] No, why would I do that?

Speaker 1:
[14:10] I don't know, but they've got bands you like, I feel like.

Speaker 2:
[14:12] I'll tell you what I wish I was out right now. That's happening right now. I'll tell you what I wish I was at right now, that is playing right now. Fish at the Sphere. Dude, I saw this one video of, you know how like the whole thing is a video screen, obviously you played in it. Yes, I know. For the listeners out there. I saw this whole like animated thing of a hot dog that would be turned into a spaceship and then flew off into space. And I can only imagine the terror, the horror that I would be feeling if I was, you know, on some, the things that you would take at a fish show and that and a hot dog started flying across the cosmos. No thank you. But also what a great DMT trip that would be. But anyways, tell me more about the Coachella online bro.

Speaker 1:
[14:55] The Coachella. Okay. Well, first of all, it's like they live stream every stage. There's absolutely zero need to go to the actual festival. I don't know why anybody spends all this money and goes, the weather's never good. You have to walk so fucking far. Your feet hurt, you're covered in dust, your lungs are full of dust. Like it's, I don't know, the live stream was sick. Bieber was the big headliner. That's what everyone's talking about. Did you see any clips of Justin Bieber's performance?

Speaker 2:
[15:19] I saw that he did one with, what's her name? What is her name?

Speaker 1:
[15:24] He had tons of guests.

Speaker 2:
[15:25] Phineas' sister.

Speaker 1:
[15:27] Oh, Billie Eilish. He brought Billie Eilish up for One Last Only Girl, which was so cute.

Speaker 2:
[15:30] It's like she was like a huge Bieber fan as a kid.

Speaker 1:
[15:33] Oh, for sure. Here's like the crazy shit about this whole Bieber performance, which you don't know because he didn't watch and you live under a rock and all you care about is golf. But so Bieber has like not played a show in years, like years. This was like his big comeback or whatever. You know, I feel like he's been through some shit. Like, I feel like he's pretty vocal about that. He's been through some shit and he sold his catalog because I don't know, he's been having money problems, sold his catalog, made this money back, booked this Coachella performance. No one's seen him perform in so fucking long. He hasn't really, he put out some music last year, whatever, but like no tour, no nothing. So he books Coachella. He's the highest paid artist to ever play Coachella. I forget what the number was exactly. You can look it up. Maybe, I don't know. You have to look it up. Maybe 10 million or that doesn't seem high enough. But highest paid artist at Coachella and Week in One, all the headlines were about how he went out there in a fucking hoodie with no production and played his own songs from his own YouTube channel and like up on the screens. That was the performance and it's funny because like quote unquote critics tried to say it was terrible and be like, Justin doesn't give a fuck. He didn't put any effort into this show. What an embarrassment. Like what a kick in the dick to do to Coachella or whatever. But what's crazy is the fans fucking loved it. All the people that were there and all the fans thought it was the best thing they'd ever seen. It was just so interesting because all these other artists spend all their money, most artists spend all of their money that they're making on the show. It's something my sister has done quite frequently, is spent more than she's making on the production to make the show great. Obviously, most artists, that's what people expect. Taylor Swift, her show is huge and Sabrina Carpenter also played at Coachella and had a huge production. But for Justin to be able to go out there and just sit and sing along to his YouTube. I think it was very cool and I think Gen Zers, the young crowd, I think what worked is that it was so organic and authentic and relatable, and it's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy that he pulled it off and so that he had this huge success with Weekend 1 and then Weekend 2. He came out and he just had a different energy. I don't know if he was expecting for Weekend 1 for no one to give a shit or for him to not have fun. He just had a different vibe. He was smiling and he was singing different and had all this energy and brought all these guests up and it was like a completely, totally different show and I feel like Justin Bieber is back, baby.

Speaker 2:
[17:59] Oh, he never left us.

Speaker 1:
[18:01] He's back, baby. I'm sorry, his Purpose album was one of the best albums, like pop albums of all time. So fucking good.

Speaker 2:
[18:07] Did Bieber and your sister ever date? I feel like that would have been something that would have happened.

Speaker 1:
[18:12] No, but Noah was obsessed with Justin Bieber.

Speaker 2:
[18:15] What about you? Were you obsessed?

Speaker 1:
[18:17] No, I was way too old. I was too old for Bieber. I was too old for One Direction. But I do have a vivid memory of Miley doing something with Justin Bieber, like during the like, baby, baby era. Maybe it was like a daytime show or something. Noah, I can't remember if my mom took her in there or Miley, but somehow Noah acquired the outfit Justin Bieber wore at whatever thing we were at. The pants, the shoes, she had the whole outfit. She brought it home with her, like stole it out of the dressing room.

Speaker 2:
[18:48] Wow, does she still have it?

Speaker 1:
[18:49] I think so.

Speaker 2:
[18:51] That's amazing. Go sell it to a hard rock cafe.

Speaker 1:
[18:53] She was a huge Bieber fan.

Speaker 2:
[18:56] Well, who isn't? Well, I'm glad he's back.

Speaker 1:
[18:58] Me too.

Speaker 2:
[18:58] I feel like the world's a better place when Justin Bieber is rocking and rolling.

Speaker 1:
[19:02] I agree. I agree.

Speaker 2:
[19:05] Anyone else have note at Coachella?

Speaker 1:
[19:07] Well, something you would have liked, Casey Musgraves was the surprise performer for Weekend 2. I watched her entire set. She's absolutely incredible. She's got a new single out called Dry Spell. Have you heard that by chance?

Speaker 2:
[19:17] Yes, I think I have.

Speaker 1:
[19:19] I love it. Do you like it?

Speaker 2:
[19:20] Yeah, it's good.

Speaker 1:
[19:21] I think it's really, really good. I liked Casey's last album, but I'm really excited for this new one. I feel like she's going to hit us with some bangers.

Speaker 2:
[19:31] Spacey Casey's the best. Speaking of Spacey Casey, she was the one who saw UFO and she was traveling from wherever to wherever, and then she videotaped it.

Speaker 1:
[19:39] She did.

Speaker 2:
[19:41] Have you seen on Prime Age of Disclosure?

Speaker 1:
[19:45] No.

Speaker 2:
[19:46] Oh, my God. Brandi.

Speaker 1:
[19:48] What is this? Is this an alien thing?

Speaker 2:
[19:49] It's an alien documentary.

Speaker 1:
[19:52] Oh, someone told me to watch this.

Speaker 2:
[19:54] Featuring 34 US government insiders, this explosive documentary reveals an 80-year-old global cover-up of non-human intelligent life and a secret war among major nations who reverse-engineer advanced technology of non-human origin, the Age of Disclosure on Prime. You've got to watch this. It is wild, my friend, wild.

Speaker 1:
[20:21] And it's like all real?

Speaker 2:
[20:22] It's all government officials under oath.

Speaker 1:
[20:24] How are they able to come on and say these things?

Speaker 2:
[20:27] It's like they're under oath and shit.

Speaker 1:
[20:29] So the government let them go do this?

Speaker 2:
[20:32] I think at some point they can't stop everyone from, anyways, you just have to, if you want to be really freaked out by the fact that like we joke around about the alien thing, it's 100% happening, okay? 100%. We got the crafts. We have bodies, recovered bodies from-

Speaker 1:
[20:51] What do they look like?

Speaker 2:
[20:52] All different types of bodies, a lot of little gray ones, you know? They got the bodies, they got the spacecrafts. They're trying to reverse engineer it. They might have figured it out, but they don't want to release that information because if you have the technology that they have, then we don't have to rely on fossil fuels or solar anymore. Free energy, and it might crumble our global economy. Let's crumble that bitch, you know? Let's crumble it.

Speaker 1:
[21:22] I feel like there's got to be a reason the government is letting us see this.

Speaker 2:
[21:26] I just think that there's just too much out there. They can't keep it under wraps anymore.

Speaker 1:
[21:31] Maybe.

Speaker 2:
[21:32] Or maybe they're like easing us in to like, hey guys, we got to tell you, we got these extraterrestrial, interdimensional beings that are just kind of, they're kind of fucking with us. They might be some people that live in the sea, the Atlanteans, I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[21:47] Do you think?

Speaker 2:
[21:48] I could definitely see. Well, because a lot of those spaceships go in the water, and you're like, where are they going? Maybe they got a base down there, dude.

Speaker 1:
[21:56] I don't know about that.

Speaker 2:
[21:57] They could. How would we ever know?

Speaker 1:
[21:59] We would know.

Speaker 2:
[22:00] Would we?

Speaker 1:
[22:01] I think we got taps on the ocean, right?

Speaker 2:
[22:03] The government might not want to let you guys know that there are lights in the ocean.

Speaker 1:
[22:07] You're like, what is that down there?

Speaker 2:
[22:09] Is that a spaceship? Anyways, Age of Disclosure, you need to go see it.

Speaker 1:
[22:13] OK, Matt would love to watch that.

Speaker 2:
[22:14] Oh, my God, he's going to love it. You're going to love it too.

Speaker 1:
[22:16] Oh, yeah. OK, great.

Speaker 2:
[22:17] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[22:18] I watched a movie that I feel like is also on Prime.

Speaker 2:
[22:20] OK.

Speaker 1:
[22:21] I think it's called Mercy with Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson. Have you seen this?

Speaker 2:
[22:24] No, but great cast. Set in the near future, a detective accused of murdering his wife has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge. Mercy, 90 minutes. So is the whole movie just him trying to convince him? Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[22:45] What's fucking crazy? Listen, what's fucking crazy about this? My my expectations were very low because I was like, there's no way that this is going to be a good movie if the only fucking scene and it's not the only scene, but the majority of the movie is him sitting locked in a fucking chair talking to a screen. You do not see Rebecca Ferguson except for on the robot on the screen. Like that's it. At first, I was like, God, this is the easiest role she's ever booked. But honestly, maybe it was harder to only be this fucking AI on the screen. It was pretty wild. I really liked it. Like it wasn't like the greatest fucking thing I'd ever seen. It wasn't like some crazy good twisty tourney storyline. Like it is what they say it is. Like the guy got accused of killing his wife and he's got to prove himself innocent. But like the catch is that the judge is AI and so the judge, the whole premise is like this judge isn't taking into any emotional anything into account. The way he has to prove his innocence is there's a percentage of guiltiness like probability and his is it like let's say 98 and it has to drop below 92 for him to not die in 90. Like there's like a timer and in 90 minutes, if the probability doesn't drop, he's dead. And so like things will come up that he learns or uncovers that to like a human with emotional intelligence would make you find him less guilty looking. But the robot can't compute that. Right. And so like that's it's interesting. It's a really interesting watch. I don't want to give any more away, but I really enjoyed it.

Speaker 2:
[24:14] All right. I mean, like, it's got terrible reviews. I know.

Speaker 1:
[24:18] I mean, like I said, it's not it's no fucking interstellar. Like, don't get, you know, don't don't have your expectations too high.

Speaker 2:
[24:24] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[24:24] But I enjoyed it a lot. Second, fucking better than Greenland.

Speaker 2:
[24:28] I'll tell you that Greenland, too, is terrible. Speaking of terrible movies that are fun to watch, thrash on Netflix. Have you seen this? No. When a category five hurricane decimates a coastal town, the storm surge brings devastation, chaos, and something far more frightening, hungry sharks. Thrash.

Speaker 1:
[24:53] Awful.

Speaker 2:
[24:53] I mean, no. It's like bad good, you know? Phoebe Devenore, the girl.

Speaker 1:
[25:03] Oh yeah, I love her.

Speaker 2:
[25:05] She is the main character.

Speaker 1:
[25:07] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[25:07] You know her from Bridgerton.

Speaker 1:
[25:10] Bridgerton.

Speaker 2:
[25:10] Yeah. Demon Hunso, Blood Diamond and Guardians of the Galaxy and Armistead and Gladiator. Anyways, he's great in it. And yeah, that's basically it for the stars. It's kind of like Jaws, you know? But instead of like they're out in the ocean in Jaws, like the ocean comes in and so everyone's like on rooftops, like trying to stay away from the water. And then all of a sudden, like when they swim to like try to get out, like then the sharks just come and eat them. Pretty great, pretty fun. If you want to watch a kind of like a cheesy, bad, fun little slasher horror gore film, you can do worse than Thrash.

Speaker 1:
[25:52] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[25:53] Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:
[28:36] Oh, I read that.

Speaker 1:
[28:37] I know you did.

Speaker 2:
[28:38] So good.

Speaker 1:
[28:39] Is it great?

Speaker 2:
[28:40] Loved it. It's so short, though.

Speaker 1:
[28:42] It's so short. I was so small. I picked it up in the airport before Hawaii and started it on the flight home. I didn't get super far, but it's just such a small book. I was like, how are they going to tell any story here? You may have already said, but it's going to be a movie with Zac Efron.

Speaker 2:
[29:00] Once I read it, I was like, okay, this is going to be a movie immediately. It's just so fun.

Speaker 1:
[29:05] So is Zac playing the real celebrity or the fake celebrity?

Speaker 2:
[29:09] I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[29:10] I was trying to picture him as I was reading, but then I was like, oh fuck, but what if he's not this guy? What if he's the real celebrity? I don't know. I would think Zac would be playing the lead though, which would be the guy pretending to be the celebrity.

Speaker 2:
[29:23] Yeah. My name is Lancelot Blue Dunquist. And the best thing about me is when you doll me up just right, I look just like a movie star, James Jansen. Meet Lance, 38-year-old, works a meaningless job, still lives above his parents' garage, by all accounts a world-class loser, except for one glaring exception. He's got a million-dollar face. Lance has been mistaken 28 times for the Oscar-winning movie star, James Jansen, and for the last 10 years he saved his money, studied Jansen's films, his movies, his idiosyncrasies, even the way he speaks. Now, after an unceremonious termination from his job, Lance is aside at the time has come to go after his dream. From New York's ridiculous avant-garde off-Broadway scene, to the surreal glitter of Los Angeles, follow Lance on this madcap journey of self-abandonment to become his likeness. Famous by Blake Crouch. Yeah, it is so fun. Highly recommend. Let's see who's going to be in it. Zac Efron, Phoebe again from Bridgerton is going to be in it. Bill Pullman's in it. So Zac's playing Lance Dunquist. Who is playing the star? Who looks enough like him?

Speaker 1:
[30:41] I know, that's what I was thinking.

Speaker 2:
[30:43] Maybe Daniel Zavato. Maybe he's playing, you know, because they interact with one another.

Speaker 1:
[30:48] I mean, they could still film that. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[30:51] Yeah. Anyways, where are you? Are they, is he in Broadway yet?

Speaker 1:
[30:56] Kind of, he's in New York.

Speaker 2:
[30:58] Yeah, that's fun.

Speaker 1:
[31:00] He's in New York.

Speaker 2:
[31:01] That scene's fun and fucking crazy and hilarious. And then when he goes to LA, even better. Oh my God, I'm glad you're reading it.

Speaker 1:
[31:08] Love. Does it say when the movie comes out?

Speaker 2:
[31:10] No. This next one that I've got, it's just tough because it's on MGM Plus, which like, who's got that? And so now I'm having to pay for that. I'm paying for so many subscriptions.

Speaker 1:
[31:21] I am too, and they keep increasing the fucking price, and I'm mad about it.

Speaker 2:
[31:25] I'm just not even looking at my bills anymore. I can't do that. But I've talked about this before, this show before, and I'm obsessed with it. It's called From. You remember this?

Speaker 1:
[31:34] Yeah, I do.

Speaker 2:
[31:34] It's from The Creator of Lost. It's got the guy from Lost, Harold Perry and you. He was also in Romeo and Juliet as Mercutio.

Speaker 1:
[31:45] Yep.

Speaker 2:
[31:45] A town with a hidden secret experiences strange occurrences that intensify at night. Mysterious forces disrupt everyday routines as residents try to preserve stability and community while attempting to comprehend their surroundings. From on MGM+. You can also get it on Prime. You have to pay for like each episode. It's ridiculous. It's so good. It's so fun. We're in the fourth season. Sarah and I have been waiting for this thing to come back. Now that it's back, we've bought our MGM Plus account back up again. I know it's crazy to tell you to buy a subscription for one show, but this is the show you should do it for.

Speaker 1:
[32:25] Damn, okay.

Speaker 2:
[32:25] It's high praise.

Speaker 3:
[32:26] It is.

Speaker 2:
[32:27] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[32:27] All right.

Speaker 2:
[32:28] Let me ask you something.

Speaker 3:
[32:29] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[32:30] Are eggs vegetarian?

Speaker 1:
[32:31] I think technically, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[32:33] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[32:33] But what?

Speaker 2:
[32:35] No.

Speaker 1:
[32:35] But they're not vegan.

Speaker 2:
[32:36] They're not vegan, but they're vegetarian. But it's meat, no?

Speaker 1:
[32:42] No.

Speaker 2:
[32:43] It's an embryo, and embryos eat is meat.

Speaker 1:
[32:47] It's not yet though.

Speaker 2:
[32:49] It's not yet though. I feel like it is because when I think of meat, I think of a protein and what's more protein packed than an egg?

Speaker 1:
[32:58] That's silly. There's a ton of things with protein.

Speaker 2:
[33:00] Well, yeah, I know. But an egg, that's going to become an animal. That's crazy. So you can say like, well, it's not an animal yet.

Speaker 1:
[33:08] Right.

Speaker 2:
[33:08] But it's going to be one.

Speaker 1:
[33:10] Well, it's not because you're about to eat it.

Speaker 2:
[33:12] I know.

Speaker 1:
[33:12] And it's not because it's not fertilized. Fertilized.

Speaker 2:
[33:15] Yeah. I know. But it seems like it's a little bit of a loophole for the vegetarians out there.

Speaker 1:
[33:21] Are there any other foods that are loopholes?

Speaker 2:
[33:24] I don't know. But I do feel like an egg is meat. I don't know. I can't put my finger on it.

Speaker 3:
[33:31] Nope.

Speaker 2:
[33:32] Can we ask you at GPT why?

Speaker 1:
[33:34] Please do.

Speaker 2:
[33:35] Why are eggs vegetarian?

Speaker 3:
[33:37] So eggs are generally considered vegetarian because they don't contain meat or animal flesh. Since eggs come from chickens but aren't embryos unless fertilized, they don't involve killing an animal. That's why a lot of vegetarian diets. Of course, it depends on the kind of vegetarian philosophy, but that's the general idea.

Speaker 2:
[33:53] I feel like it is meat though. I feel like this is just a loophole.

Speaker 3:
[33:57] Yeah, I get what you mean. It can feel that way, especially if an egg has the potential to become chicken. A lot of vegetarians make that distinction by saying it's okay because no life was taken. But I think yeah, philosophically, of a gray area and some people who are strictly vegan avoid them for that reason.

Speaker 2:
[34:11] Anyways, they are my favorite thing.

Speaker 1:
[34:15] No, they're not.

Speaker 2:
[34:16] They're my favorite food for sure.

Speaker 3:
[34:17] Eggs?

Speaker 2:
[34:18] Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:
[34:19] That's fucking crazy.

Speaker 2:
[34:20] Really?

Speaker 1:
[34:21] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[34:22] They're delicious. How do you like your eggs?

Speaker 1:
[34:24] I like eggs, but have you ever had mashed potatoes or mac and cheese? They're way fucking better.

Speaker 2:
[34:29] First of all, you need egg to make mac and cheese. One.

Speaker 1:
[34:32] I'm just saying.

Speaker 2:
[34:33] Have you ever had a sunny side up egg on a little piece of toast with some butter and then you open up that yolk and it oozes down and it's...

Speaker 1:
[34:44] I have.

Speaker 2:
[34:45] I don't know if there's a better... How do you like your eggs though?

Speaker 1:
[34:48] I prefer them over medium.

Speaker 2:
[34:49] Okay. So you don't like a lot of run?

Speaker 1:
[34:51] Not a ton, but I like a little.

Speaker 2:
[34:52] A little run. Yeah. A little yolk. Do you like any kind of fancy way to eat eggs? Do you like poached eggs, eggs Benedict?

Speaker 1:
[35:00] I don't love eggs Benedict. I can do a poached egg.

Speaker 2:
[35:02] Okay. What about scramby eggs or the breakfast burrito? Like there's a million ways a breakfast taco.

Speaker 1:
[35:10] I mean, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[35:10] An omelette.

Speaker 1:
[35:12] Whatever.

Speaker 2:
[35:12] I tell you what.

Speaker 1:
[35:13] I even like hard boiled eggs, like truly.

Speaker 2:
[35:15] I like hard boiled eggs too. I tell you what, man, we're losing a lot of the great like chain restaurants in this land just because people aren't going out. You know, like you aren't going to TGI Fridays anymore or Chili's.

Speaker 1:
[35:26] Well, that's because it's terrible for you.

Speaker 2:
[35:28] Totally. But I'm sorry, a Denny's or a Waffle House? It might be one of the great eating establishments in the world. Have you ever been?

Speaker 1:
[35:37] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[35:38] You've never been to a Denny's?

Speaker 1:
[35:40] Oh, I've been. You know what I think I prefer is IHOP.

Speaker 2:
[35:43] Do you like pancakes?

Speaker 1:
[35:44] Yes, I do.

Speaker 2:
[35:45] Well, then that's for you. But I'm more of an egg man.

Speaker 1:
[35:47] They got eggs at IHOP.

Speaker 2:
[35:48] Yeah. Well, anyways, I love eggs and that's why I can never be vegetarian. Actually, wait, I could. It doesn't make any sense that you guys know it. It's BS. It's got to be. It's got to be meat. It's coming from an animal.

Speaker 1:
[36:03] It's not meat.

Speaker 2:
[36:04] It's coming from an animal. And inside it has all the things to make the animal. That's meat.

Speaker 1:
[36:09] It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2:
[36:10] It does matter.

Speaker 1:
[36:12] Meat is only one part of the animal. Like if you eat salmon skin, that's not meat. It's skin.

Speaker 2:
[36:19] Yeah, but a vegetarian can eat salmon skin.

Speaker 1:
[36:21] It doesn't matter. I'm just saying. No, I think that part of the animal doesn't mean it's meat.

Speaker 2:
[36:25] I think that is considered meat, is skin.

Speaker 1:
[36:28] No. Yeah. Ask chat.

Speaker 2:
[36:30] Is animal skin considered meat?

Speaker 3:
[36:33] Good question. So generally, animal skin is not considered meat since it's a byproduct like leather. Meat refers to the flesh of animals. That said, some people who avoid animal products also choose not to wear leather for animal byproducts, especially in vegan lifestyles.

Speaker 2:
[36:48] You're trying to tell me that pork rinds aren't considered meat?

Speaker 3:
[36:52] I see what you mean. Grinds definitely come from the skin of a pig. And since pigs are animals, they are connected to meat production. So yeah, grinds are considered a meat product even though they're just crispy skin.

Speaker 1:
[37:04] But they're not meat. They're skin.

Speaker 2:
[37:05] I don't know. I think I don't I don't think there are any rules. I think people are just making these things up for sure as they go along. Not really sure. You know, we went and watched the other day. We went and watched Superman, the Henry Cavill one, which great, great Superman.

Speaker 1:
[37:22] Never saw it.

Speaker 2:
[37:22] You never did? I noticed something kind of interesting about the plot of Superman that I just wanted to talk about. OK, OK. So in Superman, effectively what happens is, is that Krypton, the planet is dying and his parents send Superman to Earth basically because he's like the last remaining person from Krypton and he goes to Earth. And because of the Earth's yellow sun, he has like crazy powers or whatever. That's like the basis of the movie, which I'm sure everyone kind of knows. And then he has to save the Earth from General Zod who comes in and tries to get the Codex and tries to get Superman, tries to kill him. And you know, he's like, I got to save the Earth. I got to do this for the Earth. I got to save the Earth. And he's like, yeah, dude, but also, if you never showed up, you wouldn't need to save the Earth. And also, you are making so much destruction around here. I mean, there's nothing left in New York in this movie. I mean, so many buildings are gonna, millions of people are dying, all right? You know, everyone's like, he's a hero and he's saving the planet. But you know what? It's like starting a fire to be the guy who gets to put it out, you know? Like that's what it is. You're like, oh, thank God we have Superman. But if Superman didn't show up, we wouldn't have this problem.

Speaker 1:
[38:45] True.

Speaker 2:
[38:46] So it's crazy. Like, he's created this issue for us. All these people are coming fucking with us because of Superman. So is he really a hero? I maintain maybe not.

Speaker 1:
[38:57] Oh, maybe that's why I never liked it.

Speaker 2:
[38:59] See? There it is.

Speaker 1:
[39:00] I've never been a big Superman gal.

Speaker 2:
[39:02] Also, I mean, it's not fun if like you are completely devoid of any fuckery, right? Well, there's kryptonite, yeah. But really, he's so fast, he can fly. He can shoot lasers out of his eyes. He's stronger than a diesel train or whatever. You know, he's faster than a speeding bullet. He can like fly into space. He uses the sun's energy. What can he do? Is there anything Superman can't do? He can see through people. He can see the X-ray vision.

Speaker 1:
[39:30] That's cool.

Speaker 2:
[39:31] Is it Stan Lee? Whoever created Superman was like, this one is going to get all the things. I don't think so. I think you need to get just some of the things, all right?

Speaker 1:
[39:40] It's a couple.

Speaker 2:
[39:41] You only get a couple mutations. You don't get all of them. Yeah. It's no fun. And this is one rock that fucks you up? You're telling me that the one thing that can fuck you up is a rock, dude? What are you, scissors? That was a rock, paper, scissors joke. Wow.

Speaker 1:
[39:55] The Golf Channel is really getting to you.

Speaker 2:
[39:59] That was a good joke. And you liked it. Anyways, I maintain that Superman is not a hero. It's like starting a fire. So you can be the one to put it out.

Speaker 1:
[40:08] Sure.

Speaker 2:
[40:09] And then getting all the accolades for being the hero. But dude, you started it. My guy? Crazy?

Speaker 1:
[40:15] A little.

Speaker 2:
[40:16] A little bit. Anyways, those are the rants that I have today. Wow. Anything been bugging you? Any pet peeves these days? Anything I really want to grind your gears about?

Speaker 1:
[40:26] This is so silly, but like, I'm fucking pissed about this. Are you aware of like the whole tick ordeal we're dealing with as a country right now?

Speaker 2:
[40:34] No.

Speaker 1:
[40:35] You live in California, so of course not. Like everywhere else in this country, the ticks are out of fucking control.

Speaker 2:
[40:41] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[40:42] You know, and there's all these theories. Do you know about these theories that some people say Bill Gates released all these ticks and they give people a meat allergy because Bill Gates has some fucking reason he doesn't want people to eat meat. That's ridiculous. And there's all these theories. I don't know. Here's what I do know. My horse got Lyme disease last year. Okay. Not trying to have Astra get it, not trying to have any of the horse, other horses get it. I'm not trying to get it. Matt's had four ticks on him like every single night before we go to bed. He finds them. They're so fucking small. I honestly don't even know how he sees them. If they were in my hair, I wouldn't even know. And how did we get here? How did we get here?

Speaker 2:
[41:13] I feel like ticks have always been around. And also you live out in the woods.

Speaker 1:
[41:16] But they're so bad. I know, but like last year, I didn't pull ticks off of any of the other horses, only star. And this year, all of the horses have gotten ticks, all of them.

Speaker 2:
[41:25] Dang.

Speaker 1:
[41:26] Just say ticks to your TikTok account and just the onslaught of content, of people having problems with tics. It's fucking crazy. It's all over. People are just getting sick left and right, and it's out of control.

Speaker 2:
[41:38] Getting sick from tics?

Speaker 1:
[41:39] They're dropping boxes of tics from the sky. No. They want us to have, yes.

Speaker 2:
[41:45] What would that do for us?

Speaker 1:
[41:47] I don't know. You should look it up. It's something about Bill Gates. I don't really follow this shit.

Speaker 2:
[41:52] This sounds like some 4chan shit that is just not real.

Speaker 1:
[41:56] I don't really know. I don't really know about all that. What I do know is that my animals are getting tics and I don't fucking like it.

Speaker 2:
[42:01] Yeah. Maybe it has to do with the temperatures being wonky in the planet.

Speaker 1:
[42:06] Maybe. But how come we've just got to figure this out? The tics can't just keep fucking multiplying.

Speaker 2:
[42:11] Do you want me to ask Chat Cheapie Tea what's happening with the tics? Sure.

Speaker 1:
[42:13] I wish they'd tell us how to fucking get rid of them. Can we just burn them from the earth? What is the tea? They're useless. They have no part of the ecosystem.

Speaker 2:
[42:22] Hey, Chat Cheapie Tea.

Speaker 3:
[42:23] Exactly.

Speaker 2:
[42:24] I know you do. Shut up. Let me ask the question. Okay.

Speaker 3:
[42:28] Hi, got it. No worries.

Speaker 2:
[42:30] Say one more word before I ask the question. I'm going to kill you. Okay?

Speaker 3:
[42:34] I'm here and I'm listening. Go ahead and ask your question. I'm ready to help and I want to make sure we're on the-

Speaker 2:
[42:39] Why are there so many tics in the United States right now?

Speaker 3:
[42:43] Right now, there are more tics in the US due to a combination of factors. Warmer winters survive longer and a wetter spring has created ideal breeding conditions. Small mammals like deer and mice are boosting tic populations and suburbans bring tics and humans into closer contact. So it's a big year for tic activity. Just be extra cautious when you're outdoors.

Speaker 2:
[43:01] Big year for tic activity.

Speaker 1:
[43:03] It's fucked up.

Speaker 2:
[43:04] I told you it had to do with the fucking climate.

Speaker 1:
[43:06] What would you fucking do if you got that alpha gal shit where you couldn't eat meat ever again? What would you do?

Speaker 2:
[43:12] I don't know. I don't even know what that is.

Speaker 1:
[43:13] Alpha gal. It's from tics. You get it from a tic bite and it makes you allergic to red meat.

Speaker 2:
[43:21] That would suck, but then I guess it would be healthier.

Speaker 1:
[43:23] That would suck.

Speaker 2:
[43:25] It might be a blessing though. It might be healthier. My cholesterol might go down a little bit.

Speaker 1:
[43:29] That means you would never get to eat a steak ever again.

Speaker 2:
[43:31] Will it make you sick or does it taste good?

Speaker 1:
[43:33] No, it makes you sick. You're allergic.

Speaker 2:
[43:37] Can you eat white meat? Can you eat pork? Can you eat chicken?

Speaker 1:
[43:41] From what I understand, it's no red meat.

Speaker 2:
[43:43] What about eggs?

Speaker 1:
[43:44] Why don't you ask Chat?

Speaker 2:
[43:46] No.

Speaker 1:
[43:46] You're over him?

Speaker 2:
[43:47] Yeah, he's on timeout. He was annoying me a little bit.

Speaker 1:
[43:50] Tell you what, if Matt South couldn't eat red meat, he would starve to death.

Speaker 2:
[43:54] No, he'd be fine. He'd figure it out.

Speaker 1:
[43:55] He wouldn't.

Speaker 2:
[43:56] Yeah, I think he would.

Speaker 1:
[43:57] He'll eat.

Speaker 2:
[43:57] Well, I hope you guys don't get that thing.

Speaker 1:
[43:59] If I couldn't ever have a cheeseburger again, I would be fucking devastated.

Speaker 2:
[44:03] Mm, I hear you. I'll tell you what I've been doing recently that I've been liking a lot, though. I've been making a lot of tacos with ground meat, but I've been using turkey.

Speaker 1:
[44:12] I do that a lot.

Speaker 2:
[44:13] It's just as good. I can't really tell the difference. And I know it's healthier for me. And also, I'll say this. Every time I see a cow playing on TikTok or a pig, you know, that's like in someone's house or something, and like they're a pet, I feel terrible. I don't care about the birds, though. They can all die.

Speaker 1:
[44:30] But you know what?

Speaker 2:
[44:31] What?

Speaker 1:
[44:32] You know what the ironic thing here is? The birds, they eat the ticks.

Speaker 2:
[44:39] So we need the birds.

Speaker 1:
[44:40] We need the fucking birds. The chickens and the guinea fowl eat ticks.

Speaker 2:
[44:44] We got to get more chickens out there. We got to be more like Hawaii.

Speaker 1:
[44:47] Here's the problem. I can't have them because Astra would eat them. Who cares? I don't want them to die.

Speaker 2:
[44:55] I'll send them out there. Who cares?

Speaker 1:
[44:56] No, I can't do that.

Speaker 2:
[44:58] She wouldn't eat them. If you told her not to do it, she wouldn't do it.

Speaker 1:
[45:01] She's killed two chickens in her lifetime.

Speaker 2:
[45:03] What is she, a fox?

Speaker 1:
[45:05] She does remind me of a fox.

Speaker 2:
[45:06] What, she's wily?

Speaker 1:
[45:08] Yeah. Well, it was sad. I don't think she meant to kill the first one.

Speaker 2:
[45:12] Yeah, she did.

Speaker 1:
[45:13] But there's no denying that she meant to kill the second one.

Speaker 2:
[45:16] Yeah. Do you know the reason why dog toys squeak? No. It just gets fucked up, but it's to emulate the sound of a dying animal.

Speaker 1:
[45:24] Oh God, that makes so much sense.

Speaker 2:
[45:26] And that's why they want to get the thing out because they're like, it's still alive.

Speaker 1:
[45:31] Oh my God, I hate it. This is awful.

Speaker 2:
[45:38] All right, that's our show, folks.

Speaker 1:
[45:39] Oh, I'm going to have nightmares.

Speaker 2:
[45:42] All right, you know what you got coming up? You're going to the stagecoach.

Speaker 1:
[45:45] Going to stagecoach, baby.

Speaker 2:
[45:46] Nice. Can people go to your show or what?

Speaker 1:
[45:50] What's that?

Speaker 2:
[45:50] Can people go to your show? You got to be invited or what?

Speaker 1:
[45:52] That's a great question. I think you can technically maybe go to Desert Nights. I need to find that out. Actually, the Levi's Party, I feel like is maybe an invite only, but I could be wrong about that. Okay. I don't know, but you know what, guys? If you can buy tickets and come, I will post links this week. If you find yourself at Stagecoach, you better go see Noah Cyrus on Friday.

Speaker 2:
[46:15] Duh.

Speaker 1:
[46:16] If you see me, say what's up, because I'll be there.

Speaker 2:
[46:18] All right.

Speaker 1:
[46:19] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[46:19] Well, have fun. Don't inhale too much dust.

Speaker 1:
[46:22] I'm going to try.

Speaker 2:
[46:23] Stay away from the tics. But you'll be fine.

Speaker 1:
[46:25] No tics out there. Thank God.

Speaker 2:
[46:26] No tics out there. All right. I guess I will see you next week.

Speaker 1:
[46:30] Yeah. See you then. All right.

Speaker 2:
[46:31] Why have tears? We love you.

Speaker 1:
[46:32] Love you. Stay away from the tics.

Speaker 2:
[46:34] Stay away from the tics.

Speaker 3:
[46:35] Bye. Bye.

Speaker 2:
[46:37] Also, eggs are meat.

Speaker 1:
[46:38] What are we talking about? They're not.

Speaker 2:
[46:39] It's crazy.
