Thank you so much. Stand up sensation. You'll be at Houston's this Sunday. Not Houston's. I'll be at the Punchline. Like the food store. Remember that punchline? No, you'll be at where's, the Sun, not Houston's. I'll be at Punchline, Houston. Like the food store? Remember that punch? No, you'll be at where?

The Punchline. I'll be at the Punchline Houston on Sunday and the House of Comedy in Detroit Friday and Saturday. You're gonna be here on Thursday? Big weekend. Where are you gonna be Thursday? Well, here, with you. Oh, oh.

Yeah. No, I thought you were just heading out on a date. Okay, so this is all this weekend. Friday and Saturday, House of Comedy in Detroit, and then Houston punchline Sunday night. I saw some juicing scoopers talking about it. So it's gonna be a fun night with your blue-eyed, beautiful boy. Come on out.

Now tell me what, I mean, I don't know what's next. Move over Rick Caruso. My street light. Are you running for mayor? Well, it's funny. What's going on? Because I'm not quite that mayor yet, but I am now part of a neighborhood council. I'm going to be- Really?

I'm about to be a, where you have to vote for me. Oh my God, yes. I have to, I'm filling out the paperwork currently. I am so impressed. You know what you- So yeah. And so you, it was about a street light that was needed to be replaced. Street light in my neighborhood

that had been out for quite some time and I got on the horn. I'm the Karen. No, it's called a Ken. Ken, I'm a Ken. I'm a Ken. Is it called a Ken or is it called something else? What is the Karen version of? Ken sounds too cool. I think it is a Ken.

I've heard Ken. Okay, fine, Ken. Anyway, yeah, I wanted to get the street light fixed. And I don't know if you ever tried to do anything with any type of government, whatever it's considered. I give up, I give up. Oh, it is a nightmare because you get the people, I don't know, just answer phones.

And I guess it's whatever telephone pole, like the cement poles are one person. The aluminum poles are another person. And the wood poles are one person. The aluminum poles are another person. And the wood poles are another person. So you have to find which one does the wood poles. I'll say this. Did Elon Musk figure it out? I don't know.

But yeah, I got it. DWP, they were people of their word. I called them. I thought it was going to. They were people of their word. I called them. I thought it was going to be years in the making. I was fully Karen-kenned up, ready to argue, and they were out like two days later. Does this get your wife kind of hot? I've never seen my entire family more proud of anything that we've... We were taking pictures underneath the light.

My daughter, myself've we were taking pictures underneath the light my daughter myself we were dancing the neighborhood must be like what are these losers doing underneath the streetlight I think it's things like that that keep women continuing to marry men oh yeah it's just it's just getting some shit done around the house right so many times I've heard women go the only thing I miss about my ex-husband is that he could fix some shit. And get some stuff. I mean, you do have a lot of dad qualities,

which is why it's nice to go on the road with you. Thank you. There's just certain things that some guys are inherently born with. Yeah. And it's, sometimes it's worth it to go full blown trad wife and just get married. It's sad now that I'm becoming more and more just old dad. It's really bad.

Like I'm involved in the school now and I'm fighting for like better lunches. It's a real, I never thought I'd be this guy but. Honestly, I'm glad all that time is over for me. Yeah, I know you're doing it. I'm like, it was just, oh God, I tried so hard. But now, here's what I wanted to discuss with you. Now you and Peter could be in the Gene Hackman portion of your life.

Oh, okay, well for those that don't know, Gene Hackman was a very famous actor, and he was married to his wife for 30 years. However, she was 30 years younger than he. They have been together. When he was 95, she was 65. Yeah, they've been together a very, very, very long time, though. And when the news broke last week, it was confusing. First, they thought it was carbon monoxide because they found them both deceased,

along with one dog deceased. It was not. So what have they now found? They now believe that she had died first from, which is strange, whatever you get from rat poisoning. It's like a hepovirus or something like that. So she accidentally ate rat poisoning or she tried to end her life?

No, no, no, not rat poison, rat like feces. She accidentally ate rat feces? No, no, I don't know if you have to eat it. It's airborne. So they believe, what I had heard was, they believe that, not that there were rats in the home because they had a very, it's a gigantic house they had in I think New Mexico. Yeah, but you could have rats in the home because they had a very gigantic house they had in I think in New Mexico.

Yeah, but you could have rats in any home. Sure, right, right, right. Anyway, but they had a barn and I guess she tended to the barn and they believed that there might have been some rat feces in the barn. She somehow inhaled the rat feces and got this disease that you get from rat feces.

Well rat, you know rat bites or rat something. It sounds like they were just really quite isolated. Anyway, he was apparently suffering from Alzheimer's pretty bad. 95 years old, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so she was dead for quite some time. He didn't even know what they're saying was he didn't even know if she was dead. And he probably didn't know how to call.

He didn't know how to get out of the house, didn't know how to call anybody. So apparently he was walking around the house for a week, if not more. Then he, the door was open, he was like in the mud room, like almost out the door. So he fell and then I kind of just died on the floor. Did they ever find out why one dog died and the other didn't? They were in a cage. Oh, so it couldn't get food or water. Yeah, it was a cage.

And the other ones could like run around and get some food. Yeah, the other ones were running around. Ugh, what a depressing story to start out juicy. I know, I know, but I'm concerned that you guys are now in that portion where it could be, you know, because you start getting at the larger homes, somebody gets rat poisoned. Next thing you know, Peter's just wandering around the house for a week. Luckily, I have this podcast. Yeah. And I think I've had to like cancel it once.

Right. And I made an announcement so that people would not do a welfare check. Yeah. Or arrest Peter. Okay. For, you know, so, but if this does not show up

and there is no Instagram saying I'm sick, my flight got delayed, the show's gonna be a day late, 100% call everybody, call Chris, have people come to my house and find me. Because I'm too much of a thirst bucket to, I will never take a social media break. You're not going to be dead on the floor.

You're not going to mummify. Never. Because that's what happened to both Gene Ackman and his wife. They were found mummified. So that's a considerable amount of time you're dead when you start mummifying. No, absolutely not. And we do a lot of uber eats and stuff. So I feel like that would be a sign.

For that reason. Yeah. The Uber Eats guy would find you. That'd be sad. I don't know what's worse, getting found dead by the Uber Eats guy or just mummifying. Speaking of Uber Eats, so we went to SC yesterday, USC, because I spoke at my sorority. I saw the videos. Finally, I'm getting the respect I deserve.

It just takes time, you know? Finally they realize I'm kind of a big deal. I am too. I just want to let you know. No, jump on. Let's hear about your big deal. Please do tell. There's a page on Instagram called Long Island Connection or something.

And each week they do famous people from Long Island. And I've never been mentioned, and I finally was mentioned. After all the years on Chelsea Lillian, everything. And then, of course, the comments underneath, like, who are these people? Never heard of them. So the fun lasts for about a second until you read the comments, but I was excited about it. Well, Drake was with me because he's on his spring break and he helps me out with this business, but made it so nice because we had a lot to do yesterday.

But so I said, well, let's go down there earlier and just like look at the school because it's been a minute. And so anyway, there used to be this thing called University Village that was just crap. And you could not go there when I was there by yourself. Yeah. And I have to say, I think I learned to be very self-aware of my surroundings. Because for those people who don't know from here, USC can be in a bad area, depending

upon which direction you go. But it was way worse 30 years ago. Right. And now they've kept expanding it. I mean, we used to see a lot of scary people walking around. Right. One time I was walking by the Newman Center to go to school, which is the Catholic Church,

and these little kids on a bike just grabbed my boob. Whoa! Little kids. Like how little? Like 10. Jesus, really? Yeah, it was like, and then you, also they were the first people

that kind of did Uber before Uber. It was called, you could just pick up the phone at any time, they were the first university, I think that to do this, called SC Escort. So like, if you were at, you know, the library, you would just call that and they'd pick you up and take you. So like, I only-

Not the little kids on the bike. No, no, like real like mini cops or whatever. And so it was great. Also, if you were at some guy's house and he was trying to like get with you and you didn't want to spend the night, you could always call the escort. It was always free.

They would always come get you. And so it was really great. I liked that part of it, but it also taught me to do the same thing when I'd be like Doing stand-up on Melrose and all I see these other girls just walking to the car by themselves. I like what are you doing? I always ask somebody to escort me and then those guys were sometimes trying to make out with me, too But at least I knew that driver would try to make out. No, it's like a comedian. I'd say can you walk me to my car? It's near you know, it's near whatever the store is.

Fred Siegel. Fred Siegel. Yeah, it's by Fred Siegel down the street because I don't want to pay for parking. And then we'd start talking and the guy would give me a tag for a joke and I'd be like, God, I just... whatever. So anyway, the school, they added this whole University Village thing now. Right. Incredible restaurants, fountains going.

Really? Cuteness galore. I was like, wow, this is so nice. So then I went to the bookstore and I got my USC alumni frame. Because when I returned in my old car, I left it on there. And then when I called the dealership, they're like, what? I'm like, can I have my frame back?

They're like, shut up. So I got another one and I did a little video. Oh, like the thing that goes around your license plate? Yeah. Yeah. And I got a little one, which was the whole reason I wanted to go to a scene the first place, but he's like, why do you want to go there? I go, because I'm gonna live in LA

and for the rest of my life, every time I see a USC license plate frame, I'll get depressed. Yeah. And then he thought about how many you see. And he was like, all right, fine. So I'm walking down and Drake filmed it and I have my USC baseball cap on.

And some of the comments are like, I knew she was MAGA. I'm like, oh, shut up. For a split second. I know, but it is just an ass scene. It's just red hat. There's a lot of red hats. Just like shut up.

I know. I know. Anyway, it was fun. I know. I know. Anyway, it was fun. The girls were delights. Very impressed with how smart these girls were. I have a couple of questions. Yes.

So now you went into the sorority house. Yes. So these girls are in the school at 17? They're like, yeah, they're like 18 to 22 or three. Yeah. So what's that like? What's it like to see? Do they care?

Do they even? I didn't even know what an 18 year old girl looks like these days. Alabama Barker? Not like that at all. No. These girls, this was academic night. So they all, many of them brought their professors. And all stood up and said, this is my mentor.

This is my professor. This is da da da da. And Drake was there filming it. And we got in the car and he's like, wow. I'm like, those girls are really smart. He's like, yeah. I'm like, he goes, I don't think I've ever met any of my teachers. I go, well, I certainly didn't invite any of my dinners.

So they were very smart and cool and well-spoken. And then I did my little shebang about life. Yeah. And... Did people seem interested or they're like... Oh, yes. Okay. Yes.

Well, that's good. But I was also smart, you know, that she said, I was going to have you talk after I give out the awards and all the girls introduce their professors. And I said, no, I'd like to go before. Because then some of these smarty pants are going to cut out out early to go to library and like not care about my stupid story Yeah, so I did it and it was great and we filmed it. I'll put it on patreon.com Juicy scoop whatever go to my patreon. I'm gonna put it there because I don't know how many people would really be interested otherwise, right? But um really full circle then what I found my old rooms

Oh my the kid who grabbed your boob wasn't there, was he? Imagine he showed up, still remember them. No, but you know, they don't let boys upstairs. We had to ask the house mother if Drake could go up to film me. Oh, really? Yes. And she said yes. And so I found my old rooms and I was writing my old sorority sisters. And I was like, wait, who lived on the third floor? Like I was trying to remember who all lived with me. Wow, that's crazy. And yeah, so yeah, I had very low expectations because oftentimes I've spoken at high schools and things and the kids have been like, and I'm like, God bless you teachers, like whatever. But no, these girls were, they were a captive audience.

That's good. And the food was excellent. Really? Oh my God, it was the best food I've ever had. So the whole USC is saying- It was like a chef came out and had like salmon and filet mignon. And what is this? Is this the place the kids eat every day?

This, if you, yeah, if you want to eat at your sorority house, it's served for you. Like chefs come and serve you. That's the way it was for when I was there too, but this was better. This was healthier and better. My wife went to USC as well. I know, that's why I like her.

Yeah, and she tells me... She was Alpha Phi. Was she? I have no idea. Yes. See? I didn't go to college. I know, but at least I remember.

I was an electrician in New York City. You people out there eating steak, Alpha Phi. I was working hard, people. Yeah, all right. So yeah, that was great. Well, good for you. So that was fun. I'm glad it's starting to happen for you. It's finally starting to happen for me.

Okay, now this is what we want it to happen for again. This is Wendy Williams. This is a quick clip of her having a police escort onto an ambulance. So what happened was she talked to, I guess this is Charlemagne the god, this morning. So she's supposed to do the view this Friday. Oh, really? Yes. And she's at this assisted living facility.

And it's kind of smart because they have like someone watching her all the time. I keep seeing her in a window. So she's in the window and she's waving. And what she did was she had called the ambulance herself, I guess, or had her person call. Had the police come take her out. Otherwise, they might not let her leave. Yeah, I hope they can.

So that she could go and get all these evaluations done herself. And she's passing them. Really? Cognitively, she's passing them. Really? Cognitively, she's okay. She was able to walk out. She has her grave disease and her foot issue, but she was able to walk out just holding a police officer's arm, got in the ambulance, got all that checked out. So who was the person who said that she had other issues that needed to be in this facility?

I am so confused what happened in the last two and a half years with her. Because we saw her on the documentary and she clearly was not with it and seemed to be abusing alcohol. I don't know if more people then jumped on that vulnerable moment and then inserted themselves. She did admit that her son who's like early 20s mismanaged some of her money. But of course she loves him and forgives him and she had dinner with him. But then there were these other people that were like appointed and then like Bank of America or Wells Fargo like said, oh, you can't have access to your money. All this weird shit.

And she had a lot of money, right? She's had a huge deal. She's had a show for 15 years. And it was a hit. Oh my God, it was a runaway. It would have never gone off the end. That's why when I was on it a lot, they had guest hosts for like a year

because they were trying to keep it running for her to come back. And she wants to come back. I don't know how Sherry Shepard's show is doing. It's the same production company. And Sherry is a delight, but I definitely don't feel like the clips and the talk and I don't know how well it's doing. Afternoon TV is, it's amazing to me that half of them, I didn't even realize there was, Jennifer Hudson has one and they're all getting picked up for two more years, three more years.

Yeah. So it'll be interesting to see what happens because if she's capable of coming back, if she wants to come back or if she comes back in a more like limited basis or whatever, but it's really nice to see that she just, I mean, I'm excited to see how she does on Friday, but hopefully, you know, because when people first saw this, they're like, what are they doing now? She can't do the view.

But it was like, this was to, I think, ensure that she could do the view. Like, let me get out a few days before. Let me not get fucked on Friday morning. So she's gonna sit at the desk of the view. She's not gonna be doing it from a remote location or something. No, that's what they say. So now she'll have a couple days to like,

get an outfit together, get cute. Yeah. Yeah. And how old is she? I mean, I- She's like probably late fifties. Oh, that's it? Oh, I thought she was seventies.

Really? Really? Late fifties? I'm, I have no idea. Maybe she's sixty, but she's definitely not. Oh, really? No, she's only like, yeah. Okay. Maybe she's like sixty, but anyway, maybe she's like 62.

Have you been watching The Baldwins? I have. Well, I watched the first episode and half of the second. And give me your overall thoughts. You know, it's funny because I went in like wanting to hate it, but I mean, I think it's fine enough reality TV. I think everybody goes in it because of what, you know, the shooting.

So they already hate Alec Baldwin for a plethora of reasons and her. So for that reason, I think people are giving it the harsher critique than they probably should. I mean, it's dumb reality television. I found kind of a, I don't know, light and okay. I wanted to hate it. I went in looking to hate it too, reality television that I found kind of a light and okay. I wanted to hate it.

I went in looking to hate it too, but I was like, I didn't hate it. I was bored by it, of course, but I'm bored by it. I'm kind of bored by the fact that it's their reality, it's a ton of kids. And I saw a clip of they're at their beautiful Hamptons house and he's cleaning out the skimmer or whatever. And he's like, other people are on Jeff Bezos yacht, but here I am cleaning out the skimmer.

And I'm like, okay, so like we're supposed to be like, you're such a down home dad, whatever. I think what happened was he agreed to do this. One, they need the money. That's why he was doing these lower budget shows that got him in a position for a horrible accident to happen. Oh, totally. Because he has these seven kids in his 60s. But he also, I think, agreed to do this because when they started filming,

they did not know the fate of his situation. And I think he thought, if by any chance I have to go away at all, then she's got to show. Right. And she can make money and I can stay relevant because they're going to be talking about me and I can gain sympathy because I'm doing whatever time. Right.

So, you know, of course he's not doing any time. The family I saw are Helena, the victim's family, like her parents or something. Allegedly I saw some in some articles so that they are still trying to sue the Baldwin's. Yeah. And which, you know, they can do whatever they want, but like, you know, I respect that they're covering all that. Like they're covering it. They did cover, she did cover that she was like,

you know, I like Spanish stuff and I like English stuff and I speak both and whatever. But it does seem like, and she's still doing some of the Spanish words and stuff and going in and out of it. And it seems like she kind of is evil and hates him because she's like, he's like, I'm allergic to cats. And, you know, and then she's like, he's like, I'm allergic to cats. And you know, and then she's like, the four cats are in the car with him to the Hamptons. Yeah. I felt some of it was a little produced. Yeah.

We need something here. Yeah. We got, I'm allergic to cats. Oh, hey, that's an angle. And that it's a lot of like, that's marriage. Like, he's like, I only like her when she's sleeping. And yeah, you know, and it's, you know, but then in another one, they're like, without her, I only like her when she's sleeping. And, you know, and it's, you know, but then in another one, they're like, without her, I couldn't do it. Look,

they just, they just need to do the show because they need the money. Can we get an episode where we put some eye cream on Alec Baldwin's face? They did. They did. The little girl did a facial on him. He needs more than that. He needs a professional in there. Because those bags under his eyes, I've never seen anything. I know he's going through a time right now. Okay, I have a prediction. They're going to take him off with a... No, next season he'll get some plastic surgery.

Yeah, oh, that's a good idea. For sure, and they'll make lots of jokes about him being old and blah blah blah. And that's the other thing, her making jokes about him being old and not cute. I'm like, stop being such an aegis. Like you married this old fart after three months. You bring up old pictures of him like from... Constantly, like of how hot he was. And I'm like... And then you forget how good looking he was at one time.

Like, oh man. Yeah. But I mean, you know, everybody gets old. Right. And it's like, yeah, she's got the confidence of always being 23 years younger than him with an imperfect body. Yeah, I feel like, you know, okay, now. How far did you get before you were like, all right, I'm out.

Like, where do you go with reality TV? The screaming kids is boring to me. It's like annoying. Right. So I mostly, to be honest, have just seen like little clips. If a clip pops up, I watch it so that I can discuss it here. But to give my time, no. I don't care to see the Hamptons and the swimming.

And I think they seem like a loving family that needs the money and allowed the cameras in. But I mean, I just don't care that much. I felt like once they got out to the Hamptons, I was just like, why would they ever leave that? Why go back to New York? Put the kids in schools in the Hamptons and stay out there. And let them spread out.

Yeah. Like, they got out there and it was like aons and stay out there. And let them spread out. Yeah. Like, they got out there and it was like a big yard and I'm like, what are you doing? Just stay out there. Why go back to New York City with that cramped house? And I guess he, they keep saying, he's got OCD. He's got OCD. He closes the cabinets and lines it, you know.

That was a big one. Like, I feel like these are all like fake produce, like reality TV show. Yeah, like, oh, we're so different. I'm like, I like one. Like, I feel like these were like fake produced, like reality TV show. Yeah, like, oh, we're so different. I'm like, I like them. And then you see like the pizza like fell and then he had to eat it off the ground. Yeah.

It's just like, you know, it's just very much, I mean, it just reminds me of like the early days of the Kardashians. Back when like reality shows were like sitcom light. Right, right. Like they were really produced, but we didn't know it. Yeah. And you know, they were always like, the girls are doing a Girls Gone Wild photo shoot,

don't tell Bruce. And then Bruce shows up at Joe Francis' house like, what is going on? What are you girls doing? Come on. Get angry, Bruce. Yeah. I remember the one where they got a chicken or something. Don't tell Bruce we have a pet chicken and then he was chasing around. Where's our chicken?

So yeah, I mean, it's that same kind of thing. Like, you know, the dad is the butt of the joke. Right. And whatever. Who doesn't love the good things in life? Even though I enjoy a little luxury, it doesn't mean I can always afford it until I discovered Quince. Quince is my go-to for luxury essentials at affordable prices.

Um, so Meghan Markle's show, I've talked a little bit about it. It was a big talk, second season.

Now they're saying Daily Mail Today is saying, how Meghan Markle's surprising TV ratings give away her secret advantage as highly criticized Netflix show bag second season. Well now I read the article and yes, it only has a quarter of the ratings of their doc, which was the biggest thing that Netflix had seen in a couple years. So we still don't know. Still a quarter of that would still be a successful. Yeah, of course doing great. And now being that you and Megan work together, Dear friends... I am really waiting for her to roll the silverware and tie it in burlap string and put that on the show. Can I say this?

And will you be invited to that episode? I was the one who broke the calligraphy that she had very nice handwriting because she used to write the specials at the restaurant and made me a nice birthday card in her calligraphy or whatever. Some people think that's- She does have beautiful writing. Yes, she does. That was her thing.

I said that to a friend of mine. She goes, it's not that great. I'm like, okay. Well, I mean, you're trying to- People are gonna hate her this time. You're trying to somebody who does not do one cute thing, which is me. Yeah.

Like, I don't- Who wouldn't take peanut butter pretzels and put them in another bag? No, but I had a friend bring me a housewarming gift and I was like this is you could do a Meghan Markle show Yeah, like it was like she had the the crinkly so it's like higher up in a basket Champagne plastic champagne glasses for the pool. Yeah Another thing underneath all wrapped up in a bow. I think that's a gene that people have and people don't.

You know what I mean? My mother has a neighbor that she is furious at because she knows how to decorate. She knows how to entertain. She knows how to entertain. And you know what? My mom was a good cook, but she wasn't cutesy like that. She wasn't like an amazing gift rapper.

She wasn't. And there's just certain people like that. And I think like- And they get jealous of people who are. You're like, God damn it. I don't. I feel like you, that's why I'm like, I think it's kind of fun to make fun of her

because it's like, I think there's a lot of push of inauthenticity and trying to get out that she's not a bad person, whatever. But I also feel like, hey, I think she's always been into this shit. And it's true, she had the tit. And I do think if you have to do a show, this is a lot easier, less time consuming to go to the house that's pre-lit down the street and then be home by four o'clock and knock out 12 episodes in two seasons in probably two weeks. How many episodes are in the season one?

Then going to be on suits. I watched two episodes. I watched the first season. I think there's like six or eight. Okay. And then there's another season and I heard they already filmed them. So like it's already done. Yeah.

And like that is efficient use of your time. It's not, like I said, working on a Grey's Anatomy or her suits, or you're in your trailer waiting, waiting, waiting. Your makeup's getting crusty, you know, and then you have to, like, memorize a bunch of things. So it's like, yeah, I think she's a decent actress, but she knows that's harder work than just having people show up and act like, and pretend that they're her friends.

Have you watched? Yes, I have watched two full episodes. Yeah, me too. Watch. Now, let me just say this. I don't know. I'm sure you said they were already filmed. You got to have more Mindy Kaling's, more comedians, because it was a whole different show when Mindy Kaling was there. I thought it was a better show. I thought Mindy Kaling was funny. I thought it made Meghan seem better. And the first guy- Even when she snapped at her about the Sussex?

Well, I know, that was, you know. It's so funny that you call me Meghan Markle when I'm not. I'm a Sussex now. Yeah, I'm a Sussex. Yeah, and then of course Mindy Kaling's like, oh, now I know. And she's like, I drove all the way up here. Okay, so we're gonna do a pitch.

Obviously you've gotta have Chris Frangel, because there's real history there. Secondly, you gotta have me, because we can talk about all girl high schools. Yeah. Which is a unique club. Right. That if you're part of it,

you know for the rest of your life, you didn't have to go to the same school, it's a club. Yeah. And that is one of the things that I initially bonded with her. And so yes, I can see what the criticism is, And that is one of the things that I initially bonded with her. And so yes, I can see what the criticism is, but I can also see that also what I said yesterday was I think a lot of women, women are awful to each other.

Okay? We are awful and Gen X is more awful to each other in my opinion than millennials or Gen Zs as women. Oh, okay. Yeah. We get jealous, we get bitter, we see other people doing something that we could probably do well. And instead of lifting those people up,

we're like, they're not that great at it. This is not this original, this is Pinterest from 10 years ago, whatever. And it's like, well, whatever, she got the TV deal and they agreed to do it. And she was smart. Like I said, doing this show is a lot easier lifting for her than it would be to go back and be an actual actress in a show.

I found it to be nice, easy breezy. I like the look of the, you know, they made the outside look nice, make whatever that where they live, Montecito, looks nice. I thought the beekeeper guy looked exactly like a beekeeper guy. Yeah. Like that's the guy you would want to be the beekeeper. Brandon the Beekeeper guy looked exactly like a beekeeper guy. Yeah. Like that's the guy you would want to be the beekeeper. Brandon the Beekeeper. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Well, Chris and I, we could carpool together. Be up there in two hours. To Montecito. And you could do a dual one with us. And it can be fun. And I can admit I am not crafty.

I don't have pretty handwriting. Chris can talk about what a delight you were to work with, which is what you want. You want people from your past to say you were a delight and you always said she was. Wouldn't that make, see, when she mentioned on the Oprah interview, she said something about how I worked at Humphrey Yogurt.

And that's all anyone talked about after that interview is over. The confusion part about that. And I remember some people corrected or whatever. But the initial thought of people saying liar was, being that I'm just a few years older than her, the law was you had to be 16 to work in California. I worked at Haagen-Dazs after I was 16.

I think I told you my little wrist couldn't get the Swiss Almond fudge ice cream. It was so hard. And that was, and people always wanted that specially hand-packed. And then you got to get in there. For those rich Tarzana people. And then they come in, they go, a dollar 25, a scoop. And I was like, oh shit, they come from Tarzana movie theater.

Yeah. So I'm scooping, scooping. So she says in the show, I was 13 and this was my first job. So I would really like to hear from somebody, how does a 13 year old in the mid 90s work at a shop that your parents don't own in California? And I just don't understand how she was able to do that. I think sometimes independently owned places, maybe skirt the laws a little bit. I don't, yeah.

I mean, that's crazy though. 13 working at a real place. That's true. That is like up there with like the industrial revolution where children were like in factories. Like that's why that happened. Yeah, so it is, but anyway, I'm saying if, to have somebody there from her like

hostessing, waitressing days would make her seem more down to earth. And here the biggest thing about it is, from what I've seen, and I don't know, because she hasn't invited me to Montecito, is she kind of a dull bird? I feel she's kind of boring. 100%. I mean, that's the whole takeaway. So you never had a juicy conversation

or like a good chuckle. No, I mean outside of, yeah. But she was pleasant. That's what I'm saying. Like she's, I get, not everybody is a good storyteller. Not everybody is funny. No, that's why I said when Mindy- Not everyone, it could be a podcaster.

Yeah, when Mindy Kaling came, Mindy Kaling was kind of funny. She's trying to help. Yeah, she's trying to help. And there was a couple of back and forths that were better than like the makeup guy who just like kept going, I've never seen a strawberry that looked like that, you know? Poor guy was like, I don't know what to do. He's just like.

I just want to go. And then she kept saying, like, I'll also say this to Megan. I don't have to stay over the house. You don't have to make me a whole thing for my tub, my bath. I know I told you this before. I know I've told the judges here for this, but I remember I stayed at, I went to Bill Maher's concert, standup concert in Santa Barbara with my friend Tonya Thicke, widow to Alan Thicke, and Alan and he were really good friends.

And so she's like, do you wanna go and then we'll go backstage? And I was all excited to meet him thinking he'd remember that he dated my friend and then invite me to go on the show. Not good. He was like, she told me later that he was very annoyed

that she brought me backstage. Oh no. And why did you bring that girl? Like bringing, like I was a thirsty stand up or something. I'm like, I just was saying we hung out like a year ago. You didn't remember me, whatever. But anyway, she, you know, he was very sweet to her. And she's like, oh, I've done, she lives in like Montecito.

And she goes, you got to see what I did to the house. You know, I wish I, I wish you would have let me know earlier that you were coming and performing in Santa Barbara. You know, you got to stay at my house next time. He goes, Tanya, I love you. I'm never staying at someone's house. I'm a 65 year old man and I'm a multi-millionaire. I'm not staying at your house.

Like it was just such an honest thing of like if you're not my sister, like maybe I'm probably at my level would rather be at a beautiful hotel or have my driver drive me back to LA that night. I couldn't agree with that more. Like watching that episode, it was giving me like anxiety just watching. Like when she's like, and here's Epsom salts for your bath. I'm like, who's taking a bath at somebody's house? You know what Peter said?

He was furious. He's like, do you know how much water it takes to fill a bathtub? And he goes, don't you think people are bringing that up? I go, no, Peter. No, I didn't even think about that. The other thing Peter brings up is balloons. Oh really?

He doesn't like them? They're horrible for the environment. Why are people so big on balloons? Don't they know how bad it is for the environment? And I go, no, Bahambug, they don't. And people, I know people that take a bath every night. Oh. And he feels, oh, he does not like people who take baths.

And he was like, I would not want someone to, I go, lucky for you. You shouldn't come over to IHOP. My daughter likes it real high. Get it real high, the bath. It goes right to the top. We're wasting water left and right over there. Well, yeah.

So, yeah, making your own episode. Whatever. I also want to see the episode, because you keep having people stay at her house. Let's see the episode where somebody flushed the wrong toilet. You know, there's always that one, did you flush the toilet downstairs? Yeah, why was that? Because that... Hold on, let me get H with the toilet plunger. H, can you get a toilet plunger? You know? Chris, who I used to work with at Mirabelle, took a big dump.

Right. And he flushed the wrong toilet and now the house... This is an old Montecito estate. Exactly. Every house has its quirks. We don't want anything new. We want old and charming. You should have mentioned that before. What if that is why they truly left England? Because the toilets could not take her giant dumps. And she was like, I don't need there to be another book written about Princess Meghan's

dumps. You can say many things about Meghan Markle. I don't think she has big dumps. I think she's just a little, you know. As my dad would say, ah, the bitch thinks she shits ice cream. That's what he used to say about anybody that he thought was stuck up.

And I just, whatever he'd say it as a little girl, I would just imagine like, just like Humphrey's yogurt. I would just imagine like a girl like shitting ice cream coming down her ass. And I was like, what do you mean? And my mom's like, oh, it just means that she's like a stuck down her ass. I was like, what do you mean? My mom's like, it just means that she's a stuck up bitch. I was like, oh. Well, if Meghan Margul shit ice cream,

she'd immediately have a label on it that she wrote handwritten label. My shit. Wrapped in cellophane with a ribbon. Oh man. Anyway, I can't. God love her, we are available. We are available for a duo

and we're gonna show what a real delight you are. Okay, speaking of real, so Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were at the B&P in Likinta watching all the two weeks of incredible tennis. So they have great seats. And there was a video of her friend is below taking a photo of them. And she's literally pushing his face, kissing,

and he's like watching the game, and then she's rubbing his shirt and everything. And so of course that went viral of people saying, is this real? He doesn't want to be affectionate. Forever. All the award shows, it looks fake. Oh, you think, okay.

Oh, I've been saying it's for, since this award season began and he was at all the award shows it looks fake. Oh, you think, okay. Oh, I've been saying it's for, since this award season began and he was at all the award shows. It's always looked just off. I'm not saying fake necessarily, but something about it is off. They never seem, they're always just, they touch cheeks and whatever.

It doesn't seem like the way two people who were going out act. And they've been going out, if you believe they're going out, they were going out for a long time now. Well, I just don't know why you would continue this for so long if it wasn't real. I agree with you on that. There's no point.

There's no reason. He's already a big star. You wouldn't need it anymore. Like, he's a big star. You could be gay if you want. It doesn't really matter. I think it's real. Yeah. if you want, it doesn't really matter. I think it's real. But I think what she was doing was,

I want content to post of us at this thing. And he literally was watching the match. And just like she acted overly interested at all the awards things, she's not. And she's not that interested in the tennis. Yeah, and then we walked up to her, she's got to talk about Bob Dylan. She's like, I don't even know who this is.

Like, what are you talking about? And then I, when he first wrote, Did you see that movie? I did. I loved it. You loved it. I have not seen it. It's great. I have to see that in Enora, but Enora right now you still have to pay for. Loved it too. And between that and filling the bathtub, I keep saying, can I please see this movie?

It's about a like, Sugar Baby, it's my favorite subject for movies. I would love to hear, when you watch it, you immediately text me a review, text me a review, because I wanna know. Because it's not, it's a hardcore movie. Like, there's a lot. Do you know that I saw an article,

I saw an article that they spent 18 million to get it nominated, the nominating committee, and it only cost six million to make. And I thought that was kind of interesting that you have that kind of budget just to get it to be an Oscar winner. But then I'm like, and people like, see, that doesn't make sense.

And I'm like, actually it does, because without it, nobody sees it. And with that extra 18 million, it might live on and actually be quite profitable. They used to get a big bump from winning the best picture. But when it was in theaters, it would be re released. But these days, I just read that Nora hasn't seen a big bump since it won Best Picture. So I mean, I think it's doing fine. It did fine, better, you know, made its money back and then some, but I liked it. It's not for everybody.

It's like hardcore. Not as fun as Pretty Woman. No, this is so fun. I mean, it's fun. There's funny parts. It's a funny, kind of a funny movie, but it's darkish and a lot of sex A lot of sex Wow the fun thing the interesting thing about it

I don't have anybody watch it But that girl got a lot of heat from it the guy who played like the the Russian bodyguard got a lot of yeah But then there's the guy who's like the star of it Who's like the boyfriend in it who you didn't hear thing about. But didn't one of the guys got nominated? Yeah, he did. He's like, he comes later in the movie. The guy who's throughout the whole movie, not even mentioned in any of the awards shows.

So in your opinion, this relationship is not real? I don't think it is. You don't think they're fucking? I don't. Wow. I mean, but based on nothing, based on seeing weird gestures like this. And I heard things like when...

I mean, she has a beautiful house in La Quinta. And Kendall's there, so it's like they could all be hanging out at that house. And just because we don't see it and he's not on the reality show could also be that she is just a different animal than Kim. Like because she was raised in it and because she hit that billionaire status much younger, it's like she doesn't have to do anything she doesn't wanna do. Right.

So why would they do this? I agree. Yeah. I don't know, because I thought it, initially when this happened, it was Willy Wonka was coming out, his big, and I was like, oh, they need, he was kind of a big star, but not yet, not like he is now.

So I thought maybe we need one thing to pop this guy and who better than her? So I thought it was them, but not Willy Wonka was a long time ago. Well, since you're speaking of it, his first movie was, Call Me By My Name, or Your Name.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Which was, he played a young guy in the 80s who fell in love with like a 28-year-old, or 30-year-old guy that comes to visit them in their Italy home, and they have sex. The Peach. Which is, you know, yeah, with the peach, and he has, you know, the whole thing.

And... And that was Armie Hammer. And that was Armie Hammer. And Armie Hammer then goes on to like marry, calls and says, I'm getting married and the parents are like great. And you know, so it's this love affair that's totally inappropriate because he's like a 35 year old man or whatever in it. And he plays a teenager.

So it's, you know, but Armie Hammer recently on his podcast, did you see that clip? So he's, you know, says, Oh, I thought, you know, all my friends who are gay, have such a great life will be at dinner, and their grinder will go off and they'll go meet a guy in the bathroom and they'll get a BJ and then they'll come back and have dessert or whatever. So he's like, so I thought I'll try to be gay. And there's a really good looking French guy and we start kissing and then I'm like, oh, this beard and these shoulders and then he goes to grab my flaccid dick and I was like, okay, this isn't for me.

And so there was a lot of reaction to that. One was praise. Like a lot of guys, women experiment with same sex. It's great that he was honest. My initial thought is, I think he's a sex addict. So I think sex addicts try everything. And so I believe the story and I appreciate his honesty. Other people think he's so desperate to get people to listen to this podcast that he's filming out of this like sad apartment in Venice that like they're like, what juicy story do you have?

Fucking say it so we have a clip. Yeah. What are your thoughts? I got news for Armie Hammer. I know he's jealous of the grinder, but Armie Hammer I feel like if he wants to get a blowjob, he could get a blowjob pretty quickly too by anybody, I think. He said women are the worst, is what he said. And so people didn't like that.

That's a throwaway line. But that's what people don't say. Well, yeah, they're the worst, but they weren't so bad when you had them coming over your house and you put them on a leash and they had to crawl around and eat kibble and then you scratched an A in their butthole or whatever. Like, you know, that was all fine. That was all fine when you're cheating on your wife with four people and planning a barbecue

with different women's ribs. Like that, then they weren't so awful, but now like, now, oh, they're the worst. Guys are cut and dry about sex and move the fuck along. Right, it is funny that now he's kinda out there again, and almost to the point where I've seen him on a couple of podcasts where he's almost kind of laughing about the whole incident. And I mean, I guess in the end, he really didn't do, he didn't actually cut people's ribs out.

No, he didn't cut anyone's ribs out. He did mark his A on people's body. He did? Like several people? Yes. Yeah? That I believe is 100% true. He did come from a weird-ass family. Sure.

However, yeah, when, again, it was one of those stories that went hog wild because we were in the midst of COVID. Just like Tiger King. Just like certain, there were certain things that just was like, and I covered it a lot. I had the aunt on my show that wrote a book about his weird dad, her brother, and things like that.

And then they finally put out the doc, and it just kind of was a dud. And the girls were not sympathetic characters because they all knew he was married. They all willingly went over there, and were they somewhat trauma, and then the girl that really claimed trauma then backed off. So there wasn't really anything. So yeah, I had predicted that he would come back and act in something soon.

Has he? I don't know. I feel going this podcast route, you gotta stay a little mysterious. I think everybody having a podcast is keeping us from wanting them to act. But is it his podcast or is he just a guest on somebody's podcast? No, it's his own podcast.

Oh, it is? Okay. Yeah. And so I kind of feel like, look, I guess he's gotta do it to make money, but at the same time almost feel like if he went away and then had made more of a cool comeback in a really good project that he's... But prior to his scandal, people were like, stop trying to make Armie Hammer happy.

He's not that great of an actor. No, he had a couple of bombs and yeah. He's just good looking and tall. Right. Yeah. I mean, that's all you need to do. All right. I like them. Speaking of which, okay, lots of chatter, but also it's kind of a slow week in pop culture.

Is Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck trying to get her back? Her boyfriend of a long time, this guy, something Miller, he's like an environmentalist or an attorney or something. He was seeing, there was some connection with his ex-wife that he was seeing with her. There was a time where they were talking at one of the kit, Ben and Jennifer Garner, and he kind of grabbed her waist. What's going on? Is he, insider saying he wants to get back together with her?

She's like, I don't know. Oh, it's so upsetting to Jennifer J. Lo. Then J. Lo's like, I don't care. Right. Do you have any thoughts about them as a couple? I feel like at this point, he needs to find some other girl. He's going to meet another somebody not Jennifer. Too many like you can't go back to Jennifer again.

This would be like, do you know anybody else? Oh, you're right. That's not a Jennifer. Jennifer? Yeah. J. Lo, Jennifer. Yeah. Yeah. JLo Jennifer. Yeah. JLo Jennifer. Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, can't do it again. Go with this, find a Susan or something. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, aren't they always kind of hanging around? They have the kids and stuff. They have the kids.

And so- Didn't she always have to bail him out of rehab or take him to rehab? She took him. Once, first of all, he screwed the nanny, which you know how I feel about lazy cheaters. He did? He screwed the nanny? Oh yeah, he screwed the nanny. And then he had some other young girls that he was dating, and that's when she took him to it for his final meal at Jack in the Box before dropping him at

rehab. But by the way, Meghan Markle likes Jack in the Box too. She mentioned that on the show. It's so funny that you say Markle. It's Sussex, Chris. Oh, that's right, Sussex, yeah, I forgot. Yeah, my mother loved the tacos at Jack in the Box. They're the, oh my God, a princess. I love Mindy Kaling going, what?

You had Jack in the Box? Yeah, until she met Harry, she was born and raised in Hollywood. She went to Jack in the Box. We all had Jack in the Box. Right, anyway, go on. The Jack in the Box. We're all at Jack in the Box. Right. Anyway, go on. The Jack in the Box meal I always loved. What?

Was, because there was one in Santa Monica, I think it was the same one he went to before rehab, and I would go eat there before I would call it a night. Yeah. And, because I was always so starving after going out. I remember I'd go to these nightclubs and I'd look at the people actually eating the food and I'd be like, one day I'll be rich enough

to actually eat the meals here. Jack in the box. No, at like a nightclub. Because instead I'd go starving and then I tried to be healthy. So they had a Jack in the box Asian meal. I don't know if they still have it. And it was rice and like teriyaki chicken

and like three things of broccoli. How did they get into that business? I don't know. When I ate it, I felt like I was being healthy and delicious. Okay, so he has a little, he has three kids. This is his youngest son, who's adorable. Is that Jennifer Garner's kid? Yes.

And he only has kids with Jennifer Garner. And then he said, he told a story on Access Hollywood that they were at some shoe thing. Sneaker convention. Sneaker thing. Sneaker convention. Sneaker thing. And this 12-year-old kid of his said, I want these special edition Dior Air Jordans that were $6,000. Yeah. And he's like, and I told my kid, get ready to, you're going to have to mow a lot more lawns to get those shoes.

And then he goes, and then my kid said, what dad? We're rich. And he goes, you're? He goes, I'm rich, you're broke. Which I've heard like 25 million comedians say that. And I just want to say, just shut up Ben. Like, who the fuck are you kidding? Nobody's kid has a mowing lawn business. Nobody has a paper route.

No one is, no one's doing that anymore in 2025, whether you have $150 million or whether you have $100,000 total in assets. People aren't making their kids do that shit, okay? And stop acting like, like you're such a tough dad. Cause they left and they had a bunch of shoes from the thing, but I guess he didn't buy the 6,000 Diorior one for his kid whose feet aren't going to fit in it in three months. And I just was like, again, stop trying to act authentic. And like you're this

hard ass Boston dad. Listen, you have, you're a rich guy. You have kids that are privileged. They're very, very lucky and entitled, but you as a parent is going to have to take special precautions. So they're not asking you for $6,000. She's the kids should have never asked you. Yeah. And my kids, my kids could ask me for shit. They don't ask me for anything. Right. And I don't know. It all started when I took a parenting class and they said, when you go to Target or any toy store and they say, I want this, it was before Drake was in utero, they said, just say, maybe for your birthday or Christmas.

And I did that. I try, it doesn't work. Have you really tried it? I don't know, I tried it from the very beginning. I tried it for about a minute. I tried it from the very beginning and they were really good, but every family's different. There's other things that other kids do. Like I was telling Drake the other day, I go, God, the school USC is just

so hard to get into. You know, like whatever, you need like a four, five, four, seven, whatever. And I was thinking about some of my friends whose kids are either getting in there or waiting to hear and actually have a chance. And I go, sometimes it just baffles me that some of my friends that I've had since high school or beyond have such smart kids. Like how the fuck did that happen? Like you're not that smart. So how did your kids get so smart? Were you just writing them harder than I ever did?

I have like four friends who are about as dumb as you could possibly imagine, whose kids are now doctors. It's shocking to me. So what is that? I get it when you come from a family of doctors. And that's expected, and you also have the brain thing. Right. I don't know.

I'm shocked. I'm glad you brought that up. I have girls that were like barely graduated from college, dancing on tables, drinking, whatever, and their kids are like Ivy League. And I'm like, how the fuck did this happen? I'm the same way. I'm fascinated, but I'm glad you brought it up.

Because I've been saying to my wife every time I get like- Like how do our dumb friends have such smart kids? Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, I have two of my friends who are as dumb as shit. Both of their kids are in Yale in like a pre-med program. Yeah. Like they were both valedictorians at their schools and I don't know how. Genetically, I got exactly what my parents, they gave me their dumb shit, I got it. Me too.

I never rose higher. And I feel like my kids have really good qualities from both Peter and I, but again, but then you know what? I wonder if that was my fault because right from the start I was like, these kids are not going to be doctors. Yeah. Like I said it. I wonder if I pushed it.

If I was that tiger mom and I pushed it from the start. I think that's, yeah. I listen, I think everybody has that in the end, you know know I mean I sit there and put on bluey for my daughter I'm like I could be teaching her Mandarin right now, which is what probably some parents are doing but I don't have the time I remember putting some Legos in front of Brandon You know and he couldn't do it and I remember thinking I don't know that I'll ever see the day when he can put this Lego Together and he did he did he did I don't know that I'll ever see the day when he can put this Lego together. And he did. He did.

He did. I don't know. You know, I sometimes there's there's sometimes it's a gift to have low expectations. Yeah, I feel like everybody finds their way. I know. I agree. Like my parents had no expectations for like this still just like, wow, how did you do anything?

I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what I took away from like My the one thing I took away my dad always had to have packable wares Packable where what does that mean? It means when you're packing a bag make sure you instead of a thick jacket like this Make sure it's packable. Do you have packable way? This is all my father ever taught us pack Packable wares and everything's a scam. And I got to tell you, teaching us that everything was a scam. Is good.

We, to this day, or me and all my family. I think that was a good friend, Joel, of us. We approach everything that everything's a scam. No harm in that. No harm in that, yeah. And my dad taught me some little bitches think they shit ice cream. Yeah. And you shouldn't fuck with them. I know.

I mean just different times, I guess. My dad would also say, oh don't get your tit in a ringer. Do you know what that means? Yes, I've heard it. I don't really know. Yeah. It's so old. I guess women washing clothes would have that like round thing. Yeah, and if they were there their tits were hanging

It would accidentally get caught in one ring I remember one time my mom goes did your mom really have to like wash clothes in a rear and did her tit ever get going? Probably did Anyway, anyway, I watch I watch the video I watch it was a cute video of them at the at the I know, but also don't like throw your kid under the bus and make him look like a little entitled shit. Who even knows that this story is true? And also Dior's gonna send you the shoes.

Oh, you're right. Yeah, they're gonna send the shoes to the kid now. I, ever gonna color me mine? Oh, I love coloring me mine. Might as well. I've seen your work. Yeah, thank you. I've seen your work. It's really good. Mackenzie, my daughter, was very into it.

And it's a very good activity to do with a child. But after a while, you have about 20 things. And it's very expensive after a while. Oh my God. You might as well buy a kid Dior shoes because... And I was always just like, we need to spend an hour and a half here. Why is your work done in 12 minutes? I went last week. my daughter painted three fucking things

because she finishes it in a minute. You know, just slap some paint on it. I'm like, no, you gotta work hard. You gotta do better than that, you know, because I can't afford five of these fucking things. So yeah. And then you have to wait and pick them up. $270 later, we were like,

I should have just bought her Dior sneakers. Yeah, so I'm not good. I just- I think that you can go. Yeah, so I'm not good. I think that you can go. I think the dollar store is gone now, right? It's gone. You get Michael's art supply has like ceramics. I feel like, yeah, you could.

It's one of my favorite types of stories when a woman hires a person to kill her husband that she's thinking of divorcing and he has no clue. So this guy, Aaron Goodwin, he has a show called Ghost Hunters. Ghost Adventures. And his wife, who he married in 22, has just been arrested.

She's on a $100,000 bail, but she's behind bars. And she was talking to someone in prison to hire someone. So he was going to get somebody to go kill this guy. And she was corresponding with him. And they found his confiscated phone. They always have these phones, these guys. So he was able to text message the hitman and everything. And she said, I'll pay $11,515, kind of a weird amount. She'd already given a 2,500 deposit to the hitman. And of course, they caught it, caught onto it before, and he had no clue. And she had provided him, the hitman and the guy in jail

that was hiring the hitman, the middleman, she had provided him with like, you know, his schedule, what hotels he'd be at, all this stuff, filming schedule. And you know, of course her defense was, oh, I was just fantasizing about it. I was just talking, oh, you're just talking to someone in prison?

And they weren't even like separated. Yeah. So, I mean, total shock, like totally blindsided. Like he completely thought everything was fine. And the fact that he works on a show about ghosts when he like, when she wanted him to like be a main character soon and be a ghost. She was probably like, go kill him now. Be careful, he's surrounded by ghosts.

Everywhere he goes. I love a hired hitman type story. How do you even find a hit? Like, where do you even find a hit? Where do you go? I guess you talk to somebody in prison and they have people on the outside. I always feel though, it always seems like in all the cases that I've kind of covered and been enthralled with, they're always hard to convict because you're always, if the person

lived, because they're always like, oh, I was just joking or I was just playing. I was just talking to somebody. I didn't really mean it. But when there's money exchanged. Yes. Had they exchanged money yet? Yeah, the 2,500 deposit. Oh, wow. That's beyond fantasy at that point. She's just joking. Whatever she's calling. That's why she's $100,000 bail. And it's not like he's gonna bail her out. Yeah. And just what, ugh. It's just so awful when you think about it. You're like, I really, you're not thinking

about this guy's mother or his brother or the production crew of Ghost Adventure. Yeah, I feel like it's easily traceable too. Like whatever the hitman would do, shoot him or something or I don't know. And you're going to believe someone in prison to like keep your secret. But anyway, that was kind of juicy. Speaking of prison, Lori Vallow, world's worst mother.

She was on Dateline this weekend. And this got, this one particular clip got sent to me a lot because Keith was like, Lori, you know, she's talking about God. She was the one whose two kids were found dead, buried in her boyfriend's backyard. He is sentenced to death and whatever, appealing it. She got convicted of the crime of her kids, conspiracy or whatever. She is now going back to trial because they fit for the fact that her brother shot and killed her ex-husband. Oh yes, I remember that.

And she's defending herself. Oh good. And then after that she has to go to trial for if she had her brother killed. And she looks like shit, you know, like, cause you know, she used to be kind of pretty. She was Mrs. Utah or something or ran in that. And she's like... She comes off completely insane. She's completely insane. And she's one of those people that constantly uses Keith's name.

Like, oh really Keith? You know that's not true Keith. And he goes, well, do you think that is Jesus, in court with you or something? She goes, yeah, he's everywhere. I'm his favorite. But, and so everyone, she goes, I'm joking. Of course I'm not his favorite, but I am.

So everyone said that to me because of my famous joke before I fainted, which was clearly Jesus loves me the most. So now I'm up there with Lori Vallow with my fucking comments. Your kids are still alive though. Yeah, so you got that going for it. Yes, yes. It is, yes. You're better than her. You're better than her. She was so strange. So of course she's like, it's a lot of work, but yeah. Well, of course she wants to represent herself because she's like the biggest thirst bucket

and so incredibly clueless, not at all like sad that her kids are dead. No, that's always a weird one. They're not even sad. They're not even like every day I yearn to hold my child. Nothing. She's just like, oh, oh, oh, oh. She's obviously psychotic.

So, yeah, she doesn't have the same thoughts that regular people have. I mean, it's wild. Psychotic, but not mentally ill enough to get off. Wasn't she like, for a long time, the kids were missing, and they were vacationing in Hawaii for a long, like, years, right? And just ignoring people. Yeah.

No, it wasn't years. It was like months. Oh, OK. Yeah, but yeah, it was a stranger story. Oh, I forgot all about these two. Blake and, okay, so this one is going around. This is from Tim Biddesee, okay, or Clout Chat Media. I'm not sure who's all doing this.

But this video I've seen go around. Yes, I've watched it as well. And it's other footage of like, paparazzi filming them film their movie. It ends with us and she's wearing the double camouflage outfit. I think it was when they were like, it was after their first date or something. And they're kissing and you can see that she, and the kiss is good. I thought they had great chemistry in the stupid movie. I really thought they had good chemistry, which I think Ryan Reynolds did too, which

pissed him off. But she bites the bottom of Justin's lip. So people are saying, look, she's the aggressor. She's doing things that were not choreographed with the intimacy coordinator. So I think it's hard in the video to see that she's doing that, and so what if she does? Because that's like a sexy thing to do. Right.

But still, it doesn't go along with what she claimed happened on set. So I've shared my opinion. What do you think is going to happen? Where are you now with all of this? Your opinion. Well, I mean, I don't know how. I feel like it's just time where, but at this point,

I feel both of them need to just say, let's agree to go our separate ways, drop the lawsuits, and move on with our careers. People will forget quickly. With him, especially, because I don't think people really know him as well as they know her. So he could go back to directing and be fired. But you know he got fired from the Pac-Man job.

I heard, but that was during, that was early on when this story now has taken a bunch of different turns since. But think how bitter you would be if someone accused you of something you didn't do. Your job is just launching as a director your career. And you get fired from it and your agent drops you. And now you're in this where all these content creators are pulling up stuff to help your case. And your partner at Wayfair has got a lot of money.

So he's like, we're going the distance. I mean, here's the thing, she started it. So he would have to agree to drop it, which I don't think is a terrible idea. Do we really wanna go through this till March 26th? We'll see, we'll see. I think, you know, someone has to make the move, either Blake or him to say, is there some type of settlement for us just to go back and be artists and never

fuck with each other again? But I think he would need her to say, I, in reflection, I was never, by the definition of sexual harassment, I was never sexually harassed by Justin Baldoni. And therefore, I am dropping my initial case. And then he could say, I really appreciate that she said that. And in respect for everybody involved, I too am dropping my case. And then they give him also, they pay for all of his legal fees or whatever Yeah, that's what I think would have to happen and I don't think it's gonna happen

I mean in a way you got a Blake Lively saved us from having to watch a pac-man movie Yeah, yeah, let's give her some Also, she's now out promoting another movie with Anna Kendrick. A simple favorite, too. Yeah, and I don't know, it's because you're hearing so much about her and whether she's annoying or not annoying, that's up to you to decide. But some of these press conferences, I'm like, oh, she comes off just so a lot, like a lot.

She, like I said on the other show, she, Hilaria, Hilaria, and Blake Hilaria and Meghan Markle need to go have a boring off. Yeah, right, right. Go need to go have a boring off and see who is voted most boring. Yeah. Yeah, because they all just... It's not, it's even, I don't know if boring is even the right word. It's just kind of, I wouldn't put, I wouldn't put, for her, definitely.

Okay. She's in some sort of weird, just like... Like you think she's funnier than she is. All that, all that. Yeah. I know, I can't really, I don't have a word for it, but just outside of annoying, but it's not, she's not annoying, but annoying. You know what I mean?

Yeah. I can't really, but it's yeah, it's a lot. Like I just Anna Kendrick is just like, you see, just like, oh my God, is she ever going to stop? There was some weird connection to that I recently saw that I can't remember about. When she, when Ben Affleck was doing the town, she was in the town. There was rumors that they had an affair. He was married to Jennifer Garner at the time Jennifer Garner had some other connection to like Ryan Ryan Reynolds Ryan Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson who's now married to Colin Jost like and now

Justin Bell Doni is now executive producer of of Scarlett Johansson's Directorial debut like it is just like like everybody like kind of being like, getting each other back. It's just a total web. Well, amazing. Good luck to everybody.

These two annoyings, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. So Will Smith was on stage doing some singing thing with some hot Latina a few weeks ago. And they ended up in a sexy kiss. What is everybody kissing everybody up in here? Wow, really? This is a small article and no one cares, but it was National Napping Day,

and Jada posted a photo of him napping and all the kids around being like, ooh, look at our dad. And I was just like, I completely forgot about their whole annoying fake open marriage. I really did too. And like, or back in the day when everyone was just like, couple goals and they'd wear matching outfits, but you, you know, and their height difference and my bonus son and the red table talk and

Oh, remember that? And the grandma's wisdom. Grandma Pinkett Smith. Yeah, and Willow's wisdom who, you know, didn't get past the fourth grade. And what the fuck happened? I know. Red table talk. No one cares.

I remember I like- The book came out. She had a book. The book. I read some of the book. And she was such a bitch because he like planned her a birthday party And then she turned it around and said the birthday party was for you And I'm like again, no one has ever planned me a birthday party And if someone did I don't care if the food sucked it was awful

I'd be like I can't believe you planned me a surprise birthday party. Yeah, and it wasn't even a surprise He was planning it with her knowledge. And then she put him in the hot seat and was like, mm-hmm, say it, say it. And he goes, it was my narcissism that made me plan the party, Jada. I wanted people to think I was a good husband. That's right. That's right. And I was like, oh, you are a fucking monster.

Yeah, that was such a weird time. But that was like, oh, you are a fucking monster. Yeah, that was such a weird time. But that was that a COVID thing too? I feel like that was- I just feel like they are never coming back now. I thought he would come back. Yeah. And I just feel like people are like,

there's other people that can do that job. There's other people who can kill an alien, be an astronaut, do whatever. And movie stars are kind of a thing of the past. Earlier there was no movie star. Like he was a movie star. Nobody's running. Yeah, no one's running because so-and-so isn't a movie.

Yeah, we got to go see the Schwarzenegger movie. Those days are kind of over. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, that's a very interesting one. I forgot all about them up until... You need somebody on this. Like, remember the grandma Pinkett Smith? She would just sit at the red table talking and just go, oh child.

That's right. Yeah, yeah. You need somebody like that. When she shamed him for planning the party, which I will just never get over, the daughter was agreeing with the mom and so was the mother-in-law. And I was just like, none of you would have any of this if it wasn't for Will Smith. And he has to sit at this fucking Facebook show on the red table and be torn to pieces because he threw you a $50,000 birthday party that you decided was too much. Like the jealousy between them of both being stars was so gross.

And they're still together, right? And then he had to sit across from her while she explained why she fucked his son's best friend. What was his name? Oh, I got to try that with my tongue. The friend. Yeah. Well, it was an entanglement. An entanglement with...

It was an entanglement. And she said, and then I had an entanglement. He's like, yeah, you did, Jada. And she's like, you know, no, you know, she was helping him. But the kids are still out there like on red carpets. You know how like sometimes back in the day, and I feel like this doesn't happen that much, August.

Entanglement with August. That's what it was. I hope it happened during August. Like it was one of those things where like the kid wasn't getting along with his parents or something. So he was, like, living at the Pinkett Mansion or whatever, the Will Smith Mansion. And you know, he was, like, 24. He wasn't, like, 17. But still, like, all I can think about is, like, the mom, the real mom, Chiray or whatever,

of the Trey stepson. Like she must have been like on the phone with her friends going, girl, did you hear what the fuck is happening with my ex and Jada? Jada fucked my son's friend. And it's all over the news that this perfect couple, because like, I mean, that is annoying if you're like wife number one. Right. And forever they're on the red carpet,

always wearing matching yellow outfits and all this. And on Oprah where she's just kissing their asses as America's greatest couple and she's the greatest stepmother and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Ugh. Yeah. I always, they always irritated me,

not so much him, but her. Yeah. And oh, they always irritated me, not so much him, but her. Yeah. And, oh, did they think someone said, when are we gonna start bringing up all the inauthentic Hollywood men? Why are women so obsessed with attacking the Megans and the hilarious and the J-Lo's and all this? Right, I agree.

Even Jennifer Garner, who would call the paparazzi to go to the Coldwater Park when she had a place sit in her backyard, whatever. I don't know, aren't they all like, I don't know. Gumbags? No, but I think it's what I said before. I think women just are overly critical of other women and men don't care.

Yeah. What are men, like men, you know, men will be like, ah, he's a douche, he's a dick. That's about it. They don't really expound on it. And you're like, why is he a douche or a dick? And they're like, I don't know, I just had a feeling. Yeah, I would agree with that.

Yeah. I mean, I feel all the people we've met here too. Do you feel like you have good, are you one of those guys? Douche or dick radar? Yes, because I feel like my brother-in-law, Shannon's husband, Yeah.

there's been times where then years later the guy turns out to be a dick or the couple gets divorced and my sister will say, you know, Michael never liked him. And I go, he didn't? We had dinners, we had this? She goes, no, right from the start. He was like, meh. And I'm like, what is that? There's like a gift I think certain guys have.

I like to think that I have it as well. I think you have it. However, what I do is I just assume everyone's a douche or dick until you prove me otherwise. So that kind of works too because 90% of the time you're right, especially in the worlds I travel in. But I don't really see anybody anymore. I really don't.

So you see you from time to know, I really don't. Like, I was thinking, so, you know, you see you from time to time. That's about it. Yes, okay. About this naked woman. Now, you travel a lot on the planes. A naked woman was removed from the Southwest plane in Houston.

Can I tell my theory on the... In which you're going to Houston on Sunday. I know, I'll be there, Sunday night. So tell me, what is the story behind this and what is your theory? Well, I heard that she got up, you know, I think before the plane took off and took off all her clothes. Like in the aisle or like in the bathroom?

In the aisle, went up to the front, yeah. And was it attractive body or not attractive body? I mean, you know, decent boobs as far as I could see. I don't think, you know, been a little kooky. All right, I'm just wondering. Like, was she 80 or was she like? No, she wasn't 80, but she was, yeah, she wasn't 22 either. Got it.

Yeah, but anyway, it was just crazy. And I feel like there's so much more of this on planes. I don't know if it's people just filming it more. I have a theory, I shouldn't say someone actually mentioned it to me, and it does make sense. What is happening, I believe, is edibles. Good point. Here's what's happening. That's why people are losing their minds

on planes more often. Yes. They're taking the edible before they get on the flight because they're nervous or whatever the case may be. They're fine getting on the plane because a lot of people go, how did you let their person on the plane if they were that crazy?

Right, they don't let it drunk on. I don't know anything about edibles. I don't really do that kind of thing. I don't know them either. But this is someone mentioned it to me and I'm like know anything about edibles. I don't really do that kind of thing. I don't know them either. I don't know them either. But someone mentioned it to me and I'm like, that's a pretty interesting theory. Oh, that makes a lot of sense, yeah.

So they get on and then the edible kicks in and maybe they knew to it or they took too much or they don't know the reaction. And their reaction is taking my top off or freaking the fuck out. So, and I'm like, yeah, that does make sense. You know, now you're half hour into the flight and you're freaking out.

So maybe it's that. Because they're not drunk. Right. It seems more than drunk. So what could it be? I don't know. Everybody's now doing, what do they call it? Microdosing or whatever.

Microdosing of the mushrooms and the edibles and all that kind of stuff. And some people have different reactions to shit. So, you know, some people can chill out and do a podcast, and some people take their top off on a Southwest flight. Wow. To Houston. Well, here's another one.

This girl, she went viral. She was in Brazil. Because someone filmed her refusing to let a crying baby have her window seat. Yeah. I always choose the window seat. I like the window seat. I used to.

I like to be tucked away. Yeah. Even though I feel guilty and I have to get up and go to the bathroom, I prefer it to the aisle. I don't know why I like it. You don't like the window now? Not anymore.

I used to love it. And now I feel very claustrophobic, a little closed in sometimes where I'm like, now I gotta go aisle. Yeah. Yeah. So, can't do it. Well, would you let, have you ever been asked to change seats?

I have a few times, but like for husbands sitting next to the wife, whatever. If it's the same seat, I have no problem with it. If it's like not too far back or whatever, and still an aisle. But if like somebody says, can you do or whatever and still an aisle. But if like somebody says, can you do a middle seat for your aisle? But have you ever been asked and turned down and said no?

No. I've only been asked I think twice. And you were accommodated. And it was for husband and wife and I accommodated both times. Yeah. And we've asked once with hard, my wife and my daughter were in a seat and I was in another seat. And the guy was like, yeah. And I'm like, great. I thought I was going to have a peaceful flight. I always remember that.

Remember when James Corden got a lot of shit, like it turned out that he was like a dick or whatever. There was a story that went around that someone said, I was on a plane with James Corden and there was a woman struggling with a small child and it was first class or whatever. And he was just such a dick, like rolling his eyes and everything.

And at the end of the flight, I realized it was his wife and child. Oh, my, oh, that's funny. He was, yeah. And he was not helpful and acting like he didn't know them. And I was like, oh, my God. Now, I don't know if that's true. That was just story read. So Giselle had her baby and is on a yacht with the karate instructor or jihitsu or whatever it is.

Living her life. And some bikini again. Yeah. Oh yeah, look at that. She's back. Well, she's a supermodel. There you go. Now she's the star of the show.

And good for her. Yeah. Is that his name, Joaquin Malenki? Do you think Tom Brady has any regrets? Tom Brady's doing fine. He's doing fine. All right. You don't hear about him with any women.

There was different, Ivanka Shank was a woman for a minute, but I haven't heard anything lately. He's out there working. I feel like Emmerada is probably going to have to walk next to him and just get like a page six article. Oh yeah. She's died down.

She's died down a little bit. Yeah. I mean, still out there. Still Vanity Fair party. Still dating people. Boobs out. Her and Julia Fox. Julia Fox.

I'm always like, what are the two of them doing besides just showing up and getting photographs? Good for them. We're still talking about them. Somebody's. You got to wear cellophane to a party but yeah. You got to pay with like roots underneath it. She had like at the Vanity Fair party, she had like ivy.

No, she had a long wig covering the- Oh, is that what it was? The clitoris, yes. I thought it was roots. No, it was like her hair going like an Adam and Eve kind of a look. Oh, I thought it was tree roots. I do imagine just like being invited to a party and then being like, okay, hi, hi, Juan,

can you come over and bring your cellophane, your old wigs, and I have to go wear this weird outfit, otherwise there's no point in me going to this party. Yeah, and she was, that was all a spin off. I have nothing else going on. Yeah, I mean, I didn't get invited to any of the Oscars. I didn't go to anything. No, nothing.

No jealousy at all. What do you think of the Oscars? No, not anymore. Parties, late night? I mean, I remember, and I think maybe you did it with me once, once or twice, he had an after party. So we would watch the Oscars and then sit and then rip on it. Just talked about it with Brad. On Oscar night, Brad and I were texting back for Brad Wallach

for those of you who don't know. We were texting back and forth about it because I had forgotten all about it. I did it twice, I think. We did it together. It was me, you, Sarah Kelowna, Brad Wallach. And remember, Brad had taken some pill or something because he had a bad back. Brad was like, what are these people on a plane? Yeah, exactly. And it hit right when they were like, and action, live. And I remember one of them was the worst Oscars ever.

It was the Anne Hathaway and what's... James Franco. Franco night where he like came out as Marilyn Monroe. It was just torturous. And we couldn't get any celebrities because they were all like going to the parties. Who were just like yelling at people from afar. No, no, no, no.

Then we sat down after and like ripped on it. And I remember Jason Kennedy sat down with us for a minute. Nice guy, sweetheart of a guy. He was actually like a real E host. And he was just like, what is, because we were all had been drinking for quite some time. And he was like, what is going on we were all had been drinking for quite some time. And he was like, what is going on here? I have something amazing to tell you.

So I remember during that time, I had like a pretty decent management team that acted all excited, like I was gonna be the next Ellen, right? Well, I'm like, oh, someone else has said, I'm so sick of hearing about Chelsea lately. Well, sorry, it was eight years of my adult working life. I also talk about USC, my childhood and my parents.

So, sorry. Stories, it's stories and I'm with Chris and their stories. I don't know if you're anything like me, but people say the same thing to me. Shut up. Enough with the Chelsea Asos. And the only reason, I know, I get it. But the only reason is because it's the last time

I was like around people. You know what I mean? Like I haven't had a real job. You, same thing. We haven't, we do this, but this is a very solitary lifestyle. We were, there were 200 people on that show. We were constantly with them.

So, I don't know, it's my last memory of social interaction. So anyway, this manager, so we do one of those things or whatever. And then they go, and there was also like a pre one that I did with like Lonnie Love. Like I'd be there at like 12 o'clock. It was Oscar's Emmys, whatever that shit was. He was the only place doing red carpets.

And so they were like, oh, we want to, they're offering you a contract for the next whatever, four years of these things to do this. And you know, the money was never good. It was like whatever, $600. And you know, but they wanna like nail you for it. And I was like, okay, great. And then my manager was like, no, I mean, you could be doing this with Mario Lopez one day.

If you sign this, then we can't, you know, pitch you to Access Hollywood and all this stuff. So I remember I went to a party, I can't believe we're telling this, this is an embarrassment, but this is why when people get management stuff, they have to just also be like,

hold on, is this, who even, I don't even remember my manager's name. They weren't, no one, no one we've seen. Me neither. And it doesn't matter because none of this would have happened. It wouldn't have lasted past Chelsea lately anyway, because we were all banned from EFDAP, but whatever. And the guy's like, wait,

why aren't you signing the contract, you know, da da da. And I'm like, well, I don't know. I mean, like, what if there's a, I think I need more money. Cause like, what if like, you know, Mario was. Mario Lopez comes calling. Yeah. And then, and like what if like, you know, Mario wants it. Mario Lopez comes calling. Yeah. And then he's like, well, Kelly Osborne signed it. And I go, they got a couple drinks in. And I go, I'm not Kelly Osborne. I'm Heather fucking McDonald.

Oh, oh. Well, look at you now. Look at me now. Well, I never been asked back to eat. Yeah. Well, they asked me back one time and then they realized I had been banned. And then they said, you can't come for your two other days. Oh, I remember. Nightly pop or whatever. Yeah, but look what's all this shit. Oh, it doesn't matter. It all doesn't matter. But I was like. And you're down.

It's your sorority talking to young kids about Korea. And when I did my little speech, I said, you know what, I watched the SNL 50, and I told my story of how I was supposed to audition, and my pilot got picked up for MTV, and then I was supposed to go back, and at that point I had little kids that I didn't. And I go, and I watched that, parts of it,

and there wasn't one ounce of me that's like, wow, what would my life had been like had I done that at, you know, 28 years old or whatever. And so, yeah, it all works out. You just don't know. And then you have a funny story to tell where I was a cocky asshole that was... But it was because this manager that then of course was, you know, a couple of years later, I don't even remember their name and then I never heard from them again. Yeah, I've had a couple. Oh, well, I mean, what a nightmare.

Just the things you go, and now the business has changed so much that you've landed on your feet on your own. You know, I know, and then if you were on the daily pop still, I mean, where are those people now? Wow, well, that's exciting, Chris. Let's talk about, like, you know, how being so sugar-coated. Oh, I couldn't believe what she wore, you know, like, oh, shut up.

I actually liked the color. You know, this is a, it's more of a mustard. It's more of a Grey Poo pod. Oh, shut up, you silly goose. Anyway, Chris, love you. Cover2Cover. Cover2Cover is a podcast I do. Everyone loves it. Everyone loves it. They do. America loves it. Tell everybody where
