Live from New Zealand to New York City. Diddy is done. He is done. One is like senile and one's a sociopath. It's all the like 40 and 50 year olds who are like, yeah, Eminem's back. It's Nicole in New York. Nicole, live from New York. How are you today?

I'm doing okay. I'm doing okay. I mean, it feels like the beginning of the week, but I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful that this week is not going to kick my butt as badly as last week. Because for us, it feels quite nice because we are in spring. We're heading towards summer. For you, it's fall. Heading towards winter. Getting darker and colder, more miserable. So yeah, this is not ideal. We've got it going on over there now i just saw this um and i wanted to discuss i don't know if we've talked at length about britney lately but she posted on her

instagram that the fireplace blew up in her face this is not her first uh foray with a fire in her house she almost burned her gym down but again she's had a run with the fire that apparently exploded in her face. Yeah you know it's weird because I never know whether she's like half sleeping and like just telling us a random story of something that she like dreamt about or if she's like having another personality come out like I never know if she's joking is she making a joke like is this to get like not attention but there's just it's such an up and down like such a roller coaster when you see her post and like like I feel like in a couple hours you might see her doing like the merengue in her foyer you know and you're

right too because she's put on that British accent again which yeah is that another personality for her I don't know but I do know that that was like when she was in a really bad place, like after the head shaving incident forever ago and after she was like hanging out with that dude Adnan and like all those like really bad hang arounders. I feel like she was going out in and out and there was different wigs and stuff. So listen, I'm not a psychologist,

I'm not a doctor or psychiatrist. Like I don't know. And you know, multiple personality disorder is like a real thing, but I think there's to be an element of wanting to be somebody else and wanting to be something else after so many years of being this person that you know she didn't really want to be anymore you kind of can't blame her but I also I've heard whispers we all spent so long and I was deep in podcasts and everything trying to end the conservatorship and justice for Britney.

And now a lot of people were like, hang on a second. Maybe it was best for her. A lot of people were saying, should she go back into that? Do you know anything like, you know, being on the ground? No, I don't like have any like inside information. I do know that I sort of feel the same though. I think, and I think the good majority of people that have watched this journey sort of feel like,

yes, if they had gone too far, the extreme of, yes, like get her out of this. She is being controlled and blah, blah, blah. I think that there was an element of it that was probably for the best, for her health, for her mental sanity, but it was too far extreme right so i think that she probably was at the point where she probably needed to be you know under the supervision

of somebody who was looking out in her best interest but unfortunately she had the people that were looking that was like looking out for her that were you know uh in control of the conservatorship not looking out for her best interest so it went sort of too far the other way god we just wanted to be happy healthy safe i know and like i just don't even know if that's possible anymore after everything that's happened and like her boys are in hawaii they don't even speak to her and like she doesn't even have like she doesn't speak to her sister or parents anymore understandably so and i don't know it's got to be very lonely being her now yeah uh can we talk about beyonce I've seen her on social media again.

We were like, where's Beyonce? And now she's started posting. It looks like maybe a remix of her song Levi Jeans from her latest album. But have you delved into the comments on the Beyonce posts? No, but I don't feel like I need to to know that they're probably not very nice. I would say 95% vomit emojis, poo emojis, you're done, that kind of thing. Yeah, and like, that's so unnecessary. And I've been like, like so many people, like a troll's a troll is a troll.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Like, it's just like, you're such a loser sitting in your mom's basement, typing something unkind to somebody that you've never met before because you feel crappy about your life. Yeah. But yes, I think we've discussed this a little bit before. The country thing didn't seem to have gone the way that she wanted it to. And then everybody, I think, had this theory that there was some stories, Diddy-wise, that might have come out. And then she never really addressed anything and all of a sudden it's just coming out

with these, like, these posts and, like, I see these billboards and it's like, what, you're just going to pretend all this other stuff, like, didn't happen? It feels a little bit like,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't just hop from one thing to the next and not give us any information. I think, I'm assuming that's where some of it comes from. Yeah. But unnecessary.

Yeah. I just can't help but think maybe, do you think the era of beyonce being queen bee is over i mean i think for the beehive probably they would like slap my face if i ever said anything to the effect of of yes but i also sort of feel like there's a world where like you're beyonce like you've done it all you've got beautiful children you've got this husband you've got more money than you know to do with like just sail off into the sunset like why not just sail off into the sunset and not put yourself in this position where you're getting shit on you know like it's like why do you

want that now katie perry did you see the afl grand final performance we we spoke that it was maybe only going to be five songs there was debate on whether she could do her new music ended up being 18 minutes long she did so many songs two new songs what did you yes i thought it was awesome and i think even though we spoke about it and that she was being sort of forbid for lack of a better word from doing any new stuff because they wanted just the hits which which I get. I think she's Katy Perry. And even if she went up and didn't tell them, she was still going to do something that she wanted to do.

And I kind of think that she has every right to. Again, you don't want all new stuff. You want the majority of it, like the songs that people know and love. But like, that's just kind of sort of jerky that the powers that be were like, no, you can't. I mean, it's kind of messed up.

Yeah. But what, and I mean, the, can we talk about the cgi and the sky so there was images that were created to make like some sort of like fantasy in the sky yeah a lot of people were saying it was a bit of a miss i i loved her performance but i kind of wish she'd gotten rid of the cgi i know but it's like so her i feel like that's so on brand for her. Like she loves all that like trippy dippy, like colorful, crazy, like make you be like what's happening? Like almost like too much going on.

I feel like that's her. So yes, I mean, we probably could have done without it, but also probably could have done without that poor person with the balloon deflating all over them. I felt so bad. Do you know what? I felt so horrible. But like kudos to that person because they tried. person with the balloon deflating all over them i felt so bad do you know what horrible but like

kudos to that person because they they tried they had like a deflated carcass of a balloon and they're still trying to do the dance like they still put effort in it's like when you're trying to get like a like a sweater or a shirt off and it just will not come off properly and you just can't i mean it just and i'm sure like in the moment they like wanted to die and they did continue they like the show must go on type of moment but like afterward they were like why why like why my balloon of all the balloons oh but they did they just kept their head held high and kept marching and doing their thing but that balloon was a disaster but it also stole the show in the best way i love all the balloon

tiktoks it's the best i mean first there was the shark and then we got this balloon i mean it's always something now uh i promised my producer that we would discuss muding because this is a baby pygmy hippopotamus through her i know it's freaking star sign. I know everything about the super bottomers, but you have a t-shirt. Yeah, the boys, they gifted me from on my radio show with a Mudang t-shirt because they joked that I also am very similar to Mudang as I've got this sort of like wild personality,

crazy facial expressions, never know what I'm going to do. So they did actually, if you go to my instagram you can see me as mudang we are one mudang is me and i am mudang but honestly like it's just the content that i feel like the world needs right now like just some absurd cute little mushy slimy pygmy hippo yeah and they just took it on on snl this past weekend. And it was so awesome. It was so great. I just can't get enough. I cannot get enough of this freaking hippo. I love her so much.

They haven't hosed you down, though, have they? No, they haven't. But I think they're just worried that facilities will kick us out of the studio. But I mean, I wouldn't be above it. I love it. Well, thank you so much for your time this week, Nicole. No doubt some stuff will go down in the next week and we'll get more goss from you next week. Absolutely.

I look forward to it.
