Fashion! Politics! Entertainment! This episode of LC kind of has all those things! What it definitely has is best in the biz guest Nicole Byer! Nicole and the boys get into how we'd do the pandemic differently, escape room techniques, how all male flight attendants are gay, reveal the REAL MCU, and anticipate Cowboy Carter just days before its release. Also, what it feels like to fly in a film, selling the joke, Goodfellas, Oda Mae Brown culture, Christian Siriano, Jenifer Lewis's recent accident and recovery, how Madame Web was maybe good, how Fed Ex can kinda suck and the battle between water based and silicon based personal lubricant.

We are here to talk about, yes, of course. The presidency of Joe Biden. The 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden. Today, we are talking about Biden's impact on America. Just kidding. No, this is Las Colch. This is Lost Cult. We are maybe the most politically uninformed people

out there in the podcasting space. See, I don't think that's true. I think we really keep politics off mic. I know. I voted for Marianne Williamson in the primary. Did you really? I actually did. I am so happy

because I would have loved that opportunity. Because listen, and can I say, you're not a great political mind if you're like, don't vote for the person that's not going to win. It's like, that's not really how it works. You can vote for whoever you want.

All I'm saying is, if Marianne Williamson's on the ballot, we've done that woman so dirty. Just vote for her. I mean, now she's dropped out, so it's not an option for the New Yorkers. Biden won with 97% of the primary vote. It's okay if the 2.5% included my Matt Rogers vote. That's what we call a lark. That's what we call a lark. That's what we call a lark. And spring has sprunged.

Yeah, spring has sprunged. We're out of Pisces season, thank God, because it was so rough. Pisces? Virgo. Virgo. That makes sense. Am I supposed to talk? No, not yet. Hold on. This is talking Biden still. We're going to do eight minutes of hard talking Biden, and then you're going to come in.

Got it. Yeah. God, I'm so bored of Biden. Well, look. I don't know. The less we say, the better. Well, you're a famous moderate. Yeah.

You're actually one of the most famous moderates in America. I'm a big moderate. Yeah. Talk about your moderate views. I think Kyren Sinema Slay One of our biggest slays I think that she slays And goes off politically

And aesthetically Oh 1000% I think every hair color choice Is the right choice Every glasses choice I think orange goes with green Goes with pink Goes with purple

If you're white You have to wear orange And that's rule of culture That's rule of culture number 7 If you're white You have to wear orange You know I have like wear orange. You know, I have like three orange things

in my closet and I'm always like, is today the day? No. And I'm realizing it's never going to be the day for orange. I don't think anyone

with like less than a certain amount of melanin should wear orange. That's probably true. Do you remember years ago when I made a promise on this podcast? This is a promise I made.

I'm literally sitting here with two Emmy nominees. If I ever get nominated for an Emmy, I said on this podcast years ago, I swear I will wear a canary suit. You would look great in a canary yellow suit. And now that careers have gone in the direction

where it's like, I'm literally sitting here with people who've been nominated, I don't think it's impossible. I don't think it's very possible. And I think I will have to wear canary. Canary yellow? Canary yellow. Yeah. Is there more than one canary?

Listen, I don't know, but I was just confirming, but I think you should wear like a nice, deep, rich blue, like underneath. Yes.

Yeah. And maybe have the cuffs coming out a little, a little drapery. Yeah, that's good. And then maybe a heel. Yeah. And maybe have the cuffs coming out a little, a little drapery. That's good. And then maybe a heel. Yeah. Maybe a pussy bow. Oh, that's good. Are you a stylist? I think it could be a slay. You're slaying right now.

I really love fashion. I mean, you turn some of the most iconic looks in red carpet history. I mean, that's not me. That's my stylist Marco. He is incredible. I love him. Marco has informed you in your eye, wouldn't you say?

I found a little loophole for Matt. What? You wear a canary, but you wear coal-colored suit. So I can be the canary in the coal? And then a little yellow thing on your lapel. Incredible. And that's the canary.

Okay, good, good, good. No. Well, again, no immediate project that's going to get me this nomination, but we're, of course, looking to the future, as we always are, with hope and the desire to succeed. The desire to succeed.

Now, someone who gives that in great measure is our guest. It's already happening. And the desire to succeed. I have to say, this is one of the most successful women in history. In history. This is one of the most

successful women in history. Rich in life. And money. Money. Children love her. She got a fountain. She got a fountain. You got a fountain at your house? I do have a fountain. I know. Because last time I saw you, I think you talked extensively about the rehabilitation of a fountain. Which I believe was

a whole to-do. It was a to-do. We'll be getting into that. She got a fountain. She has legions of fans. She got a new film. You got a new film? Focus Features. That's the name of the film. Focus Features. It's actually a biopic about Focus Features. The biopic is about... Nicole plays Focus.

And then I think Javier Bardem plays Features. Yes. It's a love story. They have a really rough sex scene. Oh, God. It was so wonderful to shoot. He spits right in my mouth

and then I use it as lip gloss. Yeah, that's really good. That's great. And of course, there's this other project. It's the American Society of Magical Negroes. Yes. So good. Go see it.

Everyone, welcome. Nicole LaVeyer! Hi! And we're on video today. We're on video today, but I will point out that the last time you were here was four years ago in the weeks before the pandemic. I know. It's wild. How far have we come since? Are we better people?

I think everyone is sick as hell. Yeah. I think we've all forgotten how to communicate, act in public. I went to a play and a man was behind me and like a character was like, I'm going to answer the door. And he went, oh, answer the door. And was just like softly repeating things. And I was like, this is live.

They can hear you. People are nuts. Yeah. It does feel like the pandemic and everything we've been through over the past four years has made people be like, it's low stakes to God.

They can take it away at any second. Why am I going to, why act with decorum? They can take it away at any second. They'll shut me back in. I'll be an animal at all times. Because if I go home and the pandemic happens,

I'm going to wish I said something about him going in the door. I'm going to ask a terrible question that you guys have to answer earnestly. If it were to happen again, how would you do it this time? The lockdown part of it. I would probably do it the same.

I stayed inside for the most part and I hung out with people outside and I did like roller skating and shit. I was out with people outside and I did like roller skating and shit. I was just like pretty careful because I was like, I'm fat. If I go to the hospital, they'll be like, lose weight. That's why you can't breathe. And it's like, no, it's COVID.

It's COVID. That's good. That's a good answer. You wouldn't do anything different. The one thing I would do differently is I would probably, I know this would be a risk, but I don't think I could do the pandemic in my apartment again. Yeah, I would go somewhere. I would do something where

it was like the second I even heard about an outbreak somewhere, I'd be like, well, I'm either getting a new apartment and getting on that now and that would push me out because I don't think I could allow another period of that time in that same space again. The whole reason why I left my old apartment was like

the ghosts of early COVID are in the walls. I gotta go. And I'm still in the same place. You gotta go. I can still feel the tension. I can still taste the pizza. I was eating a pizza a day. A whole pizza a day. I ate a lot of pizza. I drank a lot of

wine. Oh yeah. Maybe I would drink less. I think that. Maybe. I think we really collectively let the alcohol, because it was funny for a second. Yeah, to be like, I'm drinking a bottle of wine a day, and it's like, well, is this a problem? I can't feel my skin anymore.

Wait, why don't you move now? I really should. I think you should. Do it. It's been a minute. Because you know what it is? It's like, of course it's an exciting process, but then there's the whole actually doing it of it all.

Like, I love to- You'll be done with it when you're done. Hire movers. Hire movers. Or do what I did, throw everything in a garbage bag. And throw that in the garbage? Yeah, throw it right in the garbage. Goodbye.

I owe nothing. No, I paid movers to move garbage bags. Oh, great, great, great. But you weren't paying for the movers to put things in the bags or in boxes? No, no, I didn't want to pay for that. So I put things in, like all of my clothes were in garbage bags.

You know, I put the seasons together so I could go through it later. That's smart. It's cheap, contractor bags, you know? You can reuse them. There's also that bin service, you know, the big green bins? They're real easy to pack up and stack up.

Like, you can really get on the move. You know what's stopping me from doing this? What? The fact that my TV is mounted. I'm telling you. Unmounted. You say unmounted in two words. Like, it's that simple.

You get someone to do it. You get someone to do it. You get someone to do it and then they can also maybe fill in the hole in the wall. With spackle from Home Depot. You can also do it yourself. I'm going to grab it to come over and fill the hole. Maybe you gotta go on Grindr, honey. How's the roller skating journey?

It's cooled off. I fell down. I broke my ankle. I was scared. But broke my ankle. I know. I was scared. But now my ankle feels better. It's been like four years and now I'm wearing a slight heel. You don't look encumbered at all by a weakened ankle.

Thank you. You should just pop them on tonight. Go. Maybe I will. Don't. Maybe I will. And then I'm like,

I broke my ankle again. Do you know what we thought we talked about doing today, which actually like made me so excited. And now I'm thinking about the experience of doing one with you. And I feel like it would be very fun in an escape room. How are you in an escape room scenario? I will do one good thing.

I did an escape room once. I was rather useless until there was this one clue. And I was like, add the numbers together. And they were like, yeah. And I was like, and, add the numbers together and they were like, yeah! Oh, wow. And I was like, and I'm done. Yeah.

So you're the numbers person. I am the one clue person. Like I will do one good, like a scavenger hunt, I will do one good thing and I'm useless for the rest of the time. But I'm a good time. I'm like,

yeah, we're doing it. Yeah, the thing is you bring the vibes and the sister support. Yes, yes, yes. I'm like, you'll get it. Crack that code, diva.

Yes. There are times where like, I'll be the person that's like, you know, when someone gets something right in an escape room and like a button will start flashing. Yeah. I'll push the button. I will see the flash and I'll go, oh, here's where it is. And then you do the, the way that you convince your friends that you're good at your escape room is just to sort of be in the front. Just to look like you're in room is just to sort of be in the front.

Ah. Just to look like you're in the action. Just sort of be in the front. Like, oh yeah, I think we got something. Yes.

And then just as Bowen like solves the puzzle, I'll go, the minotaur. Oh, we knew it. And then like, well,

come on. Like, and then, you know. Come on. I also have done one. This is me running in an escape room

like a spider. I love it. I did one recently where a minotaur chased you know. Come on. I also have done one. This is me running in an escape room like a spider. I love it. I did one recently where a minotaur chased you around. Like it was like live actors. No. No. You would not be happy. What did the minotaur look like?

He had a whole headpiece on? When I tell you. He looks like he was January 6th. Demon from hell. Okay. And the rock music they played whenever he came in. Yeah. I'm telling you, it was one of the greatest experiences.

What kind of rock was it? Fleetwood Mac? Like, It was just so- This sounds very white. It was one of the whitest experiences. No, wait. No, it wasn't.

It was an Asian guy. It was not. It was a black gentleman who was playing the minotaur. It was revealed. Oh. We're versatile. Yes. Colorblind casting, as Shonda Rhimes would call it. I'm telling you. Playing the minotaur. It was revealed. Oh. We're versatile. Yes. Nom, nom, nom.

Colorblind casting. I love that. As Shonda Rhimes would call it. I love that. I'm telling you. And then there was one girl who was playing like a sort of like disturbed. Mermaid. Like young doctor.

Mermaid. And she was giving an amazing performance. Some of the greatest theater. I mean, some of, yes. Some of the greatest theater you can see is happening in escape rooms all across America. In escape rooms, haunted houses. Yes. Haunted houses are a little intense for me.

So I've learned, I look at people and I go, not for me. Yeah. And they respond to that? They stop. They have to. Otherwise it's like assault. I said no. Do you ever go in like a haunted house and they say something like they reference, they

know who you are, like nailed it. No. I feel like you would get that. I would love for someone to do that. That's very funny. That would make me laugh so hard. I know. No, I just go, no thank you, or too close, or I don't want none of that.

And yet you keep going to them. Yeah, because I think I want some of that. You think you wanted some of that, and it turns out you didn't want none of that. I don't want none of that. Yeah. It's so scary. What will you of that I don't want none of that yeah it's so scary when will you learn I don't know

cause it's once a year so it's like I have a whole 365 days to be like to nut up maybe I do want some of that yeah

maybe I do it's hot in here no it's so hot in here oh my god we're so sorry it's the lights it's the cameras

it's the it's as if I've never been on a set before. I'm like, oh my God. That was another thing that was different about the last time we were in here. Do you remember how dark it was? It was very dark. It was like pitch dark.

I liked it. And we did the podcast. Why was that? Because the pandemic was coming. It was ominous. We were like, ooh. The vibes were off. Are you guys recording in person again? Or you love the Zoom? I have't know. Vibes were off. Are you guys recording in person again?

Or you love the Zoom? I have four podcasts. I know. What's the situation? I will do it in person again. I just don't know how I did them all in person. I don't know. We don't know either.

I simply don't understand. And I did it. And I don't know how I did it. So, Why Won't You Date Me is sometimes in person.. So why won't you date me is sometimes in person. Depends on the guest. Best friends is sometimes in person. Depends on our schedule. Newcomers was in person, but Lapkus is expecting a present.

Yes. Not my news. So take it how you want it. She's got to be home waiting to sign. Yeah. She needs to sign for it. It's DHL. Yeah.

Which I hate DHL. They're very annoying. Why do you have to go on the website? I don't know. And check a box? It's like, what? Just leave my shit. Just leave it there.

I literally just realized, man, I don't think so, honey. I'm so happy. Because now that I have that checked off, I can stop. Because usually 10 minutes before, I don't think so, honey. I realize I don't have one. And I'm looking at the guests like not listening. I'm just panicking. I just figured out mine too. Good realize I don't have one and I'm looking at the guests like not listening and just panicking. I just figured out mine too.

Good. I came prepared. Oh. You did? Yeah, I think so. It's your big return to the last coach. I'm going to go tear.

Yeah, I practiced in the mirror. I don't think so, honey. No, no, no, no. I don't think so, honey. Yeah. Did you ever do a live? A live? Back in the day,

we used to do live I don't think so honeys no like in front of people in front of tons of people no no no we were never in New York at the same time

the last time I saw Nicole Byer live was doing stand up and her ending her set with I just have to say something it's gonna get me in trouble all male flight attendants

are gay all my flight attendants are gay there's no exceptions all of All male flight attendants are gay. All my flight attendants are gay. There's no exceptions. All of them are gay. Goodbye. They are gay. It's the best closer I can ever take up.

They are gay and they know it. They're gay. They know it. And they really love it. And they really do. The way they walk down the hall. Shaking their ass. They're shaking their ass.

And I really do feel like every flight attendant, like sort of like, I don't know, costume designer is tailoring it. So the booty pop. Yes. I was just on a Delta flight

and this lovely male flight attendant, his butt was like, I was like, oh child, you caked up. It's to the point where I probably know who you're talking about

because there was one time where I was just like, I mean, this is a spectacle. It was wild. It was so delicious. I mean, every time I open up a blanket from Delta, I always think of you. Is that bad? No, it's not bad. I mean, use at your own risk.

You know they don't wash them. It was Delta. It was Delta, but I'm still a Delta Diamond diva through and through. Delta Diamond. I love it. I did something weird there and I'm sorry.

Why did I? Get a photo of that. What the hell? Yeah, so there was a piece of poop in Nicole Byers' blanket on Delta. It was really wild. Years later I still I thought about it on the flight

over here yesterday. I was like Well, get your own little blanket and pack it. That's such a hassle. That takes up I was like... Well, get your own little blanket and pack it. That's such a hassle. That takes up so much space. Well, Mandy Moore was just here, and she says that she is actually quite irritated

by people who bring in the big pillows, their own blankets, et cetera. But what I didn't have to tell her, and what we've regretted was to tell her, well, you have to talk to Nicole Byer about the time when a piece of poopy came out of a... I'm sorry that sometimes you have to fly commercial and people bring their own accoutrements.

That's what she's talking about, though. The accoutrement. But like, why get mad? Like, it's not your life. Get glad. Get glad. Get glad. I'm never mad at somebody bringing something.

It's just like when people are like loud and taking up space. Like, I once got mad at this like couple that was like two rows ahead of me having the nicest time. They were laughing so hard. And I was like, why are you so happy? Yeah. What are you laughing? And I was like, wait, why am I mad?

Yeah. That's me a lot of times. Yeah. A lot of times I'm happy. Was it a longer flight? Did it go on? No, I think it was, I think it was Vegas to LA. It was like a 30 minute flight.

See, LA to Vegas, I'm the chattiest young girl. Because you're just excited. You know it's going to be short. You want to know what it is? It's because I'm so gleeful. Because I know I'm going to the best place in America, the healthiest, safest place in America, Vegas. I love Vegas.

Do you guys gamble? I have not been to Vegas in like over 15 years. Y'all talk amongst yourselves. But I do want to hear about- Wait, why haven't you gone? I just have not had the opportunities. You can see so many shows. That's true. Because you were supposed to come see Kelly Clarkson with us.

I was supposed to go see Kelly Clarkson. I couldn't do it. You could not go. So many times. It's just not meant for me. It has not been meant for me, but when I do go, it will be fateful. This is the year. You're gonna love it. You're gonna have a really great time, and I can't wait. I secretly kind of love... I did choke on a piece of chicken at a Chinese

buffet there when we were passing through with my family. And that is a really terrible experience. Well, yeah, that sounds really horrible. Choking in Vegas, there's so many better places to choke. Truly. I once choked on a piece of ice and my mother saw what happened and she immediately wrapped her like hands around my neck. And I was like, wait, I'm already choking and she's going to finish it off.

She was just trying to warm up the ice so it would melt faster. I never even thought about that. I eat ice at night. No. I'll just lay on my back in the bed sucking ice. Oh, you're sucking the ice, but you can't chew it. Yeah, but don't chew it.

Be careful. Well, I mean, it's ice. I love to eat ice. I don't think... I love to eat ice. I don't know. I love to gnaw and bite. But what about your teeth? Doesn't it fuck up your teeth? What about my teeth? They got 30 more years anyway.

30 more years? 30, yeah. Let's just say this. I'm 34 years old. Yeah. So at 64, your teeth are going to fall out? The best years of my teeth are behind me. I don't know.

When you're 64, in your Beatles year, that's when your teeth go. I guess you're right. Beatle year? What is that? When I'm 64. When I'm 64. I think it's 64. Is that a Beatles song?

It's a Beatles song. I don't know any Beatles songs. Call it your Beatles year. Okay, so there are blinds coming for Beatles. Oh my God. That would be good. No.

No, I simply don't want to. The only Beatles songs I know are when other people have covered it Tina Turner has a couple covers and I was like those men stole from her and they're like what are you talking about those men stole from her speaking of this type of conversation

what's your thoughts on Cowboy Carter I'm so excited I really like that Beyonce was like it's not a country album it's a Beyonce album and I do like that she was like I didn't feel welcomed into the genre like it's so vulnerable and honest Beyonce's a Beyonce album. And I do like that she was like, I didn't feel welcomed into the genre. Like, it's so vulnerable and honest. Beyonce's a mega star, and for her to be like,

these people hurt my feelings. Yeah. So I made an incredible album about it. What's wild is that she was so upfront about that, and then like, well, I guess what happened was, she was invited by the CMAs, and she brought the Dixie chicks with her, and then I think the fact that she did that they were like

we invited you and we're gracious enough to invite you and now you brought them because they still have a problem with the chicks and so then it was a mixture of like Beyonce's experience there and by proxy the chicks' experience there and the discourse that happened around that performance which by the way was

so good. Yeah it's the only thing I've watched from a country music award ceremony. And then for them to be, and for like country music to be rude to her, like and disrespectful outright to her, just insane. And then I thought,

now what's going to happen, now that she said that, is they're either going to like, in a very like patronizing way, they're going to be like, we love you, we're so happy, we're going to play your songs. Or they're just going to like get worse and it won't patronizing way. They're going to be like, we love you. We're so happy. We're going to play your songs.

Or they're just going to like get worse. And it won't matter either way. It's up here. Yeah. And it's really on a different planet. By the way, we're recording this before the album has come out. I think by the time this episode comes out, it might be out. When's it out?

March 29th. Oh. Oh my God. It's so soon. It'll be out next. So no, no, no. We're recording this before the album comes out. Got it. Two days before. Two days before. Oh, God. It's so soon. It'll be out next. So no, no, no. We're recording this before the album comes out. Got it.

Two days before. Two days before. Oh, okay. I'm simply so excited to go to the hotel. Oh yeah. You go to Renaissance? I did. I loved it.

Yeah. I had a beautiful time. I really loved it. She was like, we're silver. And we were all like, we gotta wear silver. And then it was just like really beautiful to see everyone's interpretation of that. It just felt,

it felt like a club. You know, like I just, I loved it. It was fun. Like people talk so much about like Taylor Swift's impact on the economy.

But when Beyonce said, I need you to wear silver to my concert, everyone went to their closet and realized, they ain't got nothing silver. So no one talked about the rise and boom

in silver merch silver clothing went through the roof sure did sure did now I'm seeing it on clearance oh damn

that's Beyonce and that's on Beyonce and that's on Beyonce Cowboy Carter Beyonce Cowboy Buyer Cowboy Buyer

will you change your aesthetic to match the new Beyonce era no but when I go to the concert I will wear a cowboy hat you'll wear a cowboy hat cowboy buyer cowboy buyer will you change your aesthetic to match the new beyonce era no but when i go to the concert i will wear a cowboy hat i'm dressing for the hoedown sure i wish i could sing you can it's you can it's not about how well you can sing. It's about how much you want to sing. No. No. I think you can truly say someone is objectively

bad or good at it. Yeah, but they've been led astray if they're a bad singer. My mother was a terrible singer. Like one of the worst. And she would sing in church so loud and I'd be like, I don't think God wants that. Yeah, but I still, I think that it's

about the joy. Sometimes I see someone. Have you seen the film? Florence Foster Jenkins. Yes, I love it. It's so funny. Florence Foster Jenkins. Do you know this movie? Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep, she plays like famously the worst singer ever. Florence Foster Jenkins. And so

she was like well known for how bad she was. She would literally create new ways of being bad at singing. But people would come from far and wide to see her perform. And she never really understood that it was because she was bad. She simply had the joy of singing. And I believe later in her life, she got her bad reviews finally for the first time. And she died. Oh, my God.

The grief was too much. Oh, my God. Well, the movie was really fun. Yeah, I know. It was a romp. The source material was sad. It was her legacy. I want Meryl Streep to do more campy stuff.

I think she really shines in camp. Yeah. Do you remember the movie Ricky and the Flash? Ricky and the Flash? No. She was in a movie written by Diablo Cody called Ricky and the Flash where she played a rock singer named Ricky and that was her voice. And the poster, I'll never forget, said

get ready for Ricky. I think I need to watch it. That sounds outstanding. Get ready for Ricky with an I of need to watch it. That sounds outstanding. Get Ready for Ricky, with an I, of course. Did you ever see the Riley sketch on SNL? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Fred Armisen being a little kid who talks like this, you bitch. But then he had a theme song, and the theme song was just, his name was Riley.

Get ready for Riley. That's right. Get ready for Riley. Riley. Get ready for Riley. ready for Riley You bitch You bitch I've never seen it Sorry

It's okay We're just talking about little things You have a long list of things to watch I do I really do It's in my phone People are like You have to watch this

Fairies scampering in the woods Trying to get a ring from Gollum, who just looked like a single woman being like, ring, my ring, with her little tracks falling out. No, I hated it. Looking like a single woman. Begging for a ring. That's Roller Coaster number 50. Gollum looking like a single woman.

That's what Gollum reminded me of. Just like the saddest single woman with like her tracks. Like people aren't like, girl, get it filled. Like, oh, that's crazy. People aren't like,

girl, get it filled. Gollum had almost no friends. She burned every bridge. No one was there to tell her. No. Didn't like it. Didn't look in the mirror. There were no mirrors around.

Yeah, no mirrors because she's scampering in the forest. This is what Gollum makes us sing. You can buy your hair if it won't go. You can put your nose

if it says so. Okay, so not Lord of the Rings. No. You hated it. Didn't really love Star Wars but I get why people like it. Did you watch all the Star Wars? Like are you fluent now?

Not fluent but like familiar with one through nine like the whole thing? You know how people are like I can order at a restaurant in Spanish? That's me with Star Wars. Like I understand some of it but like d cuts um solo yeah is that right

yeah i thought his name was hans olo and boy oh boy was i embarrassed when someone was like you thought his name was hans olo and i was like yes i tell you that would be perfectly in line with what everyone's name is right i mean I mean, everyone has an insane name. Oh, we did Madea. I loved Madea, the real MCU, the Madea Cinematic Universe. MCU, the real MCU. Very, very funny. The original girl.

Let's see. You guys hadn't seen Madea before that? No. I've never seen Madea. I've seen a couple Madeas. Madea was always on like stars when I was growing up. Like it was like always kind of like on. I have seen Madea live though.

Oh wow. As a kid I went and saw one of the plays and I remember there was a joke that was like this woman was wearing a green dress and someone was like you look like a can of Sprite. The laughs. That made me laugh a lot.

You look like a can of Sprite just made me almost turn up. Everyone was like, ah! I mean, I remember being like, wow, okay, all right. You're like, well, comedy's easy.

We did get onto something. Was Ty Ty Pepe playing? Yes. Oh, wow. Because Tyler Perry got famous doing the Chitlin Circuit, so like black-centric locations in theaters in the South or whatever,

and in the North, and then had a huge ravenous following and then I think made that first movie what is the name of it? It doesn't have... The Diary of a Mad Black Woman. I think he made that like a super low budget

and then it made like an insane amount of money and then he was like, no one can tell me anything and now he owns a whole city in Atlanta. Yeah. No one has ever told him anything since. No. The only thing that has scared this man is AI. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I mean. But he's still using it. Still using it. Turn out more scripts. I loved his announcement. Like the one thing we really have to worry about is AI. My next film will be AI.

But I'm telling you, I'm watching this. I'm watching and I'm worried. I'm watching this I'm watching and I'm worried I'm watching I'm worried I'm participating and I'm reaping the benefits also have you ever watched The Oval no it is a Tyler Perry presidential drama I need to watch that

where they recreated the White House not to scale so it like things are off not to scale someone gets decapitated with a samurai sword at one point I believe not to scale. So it, you can like, things are off. Someone gets, not to scale. Someone gets decapitated with a samurai sword. At one point, I believe the son

has a therapy session with a therapist and comes on her and she like wipes her face and is like, I think our session is done. Like anything that you think, you're like,

oh, that can't be on television. Tyler Perry's like, I raise you. I'll put it on. I'll put it on TV. At at one point the first lady pushes her daughter out of a car a moving vehicle and then they do the exterior the car is going zero miles an hour it's going so slow i just it is so incredible when did this come out a while ago but there's 8 000 episodes because they do like 20 episodes a season and then they shoot like a page a day

yeah or like 10 pages a day I'm so sorry like 10 times a day one take if there's a line it's like yes

use it they don't care sometimes you see like in mirrors you'll see like a boom it's honestly it's a masterpiece I have to say

did you endeavor to watch the new Kelly Rowland Tyler Perry movie no not yet there is no way they did more than two takes of any given scene

no they don't and it's listen it was hugely successful yeah Acrimony famously had five days of principal photography

and then I don't know how many other days they did but Taraji P. Henson worked for five days on that movie and was the lead yes

she was in almost every scene and like let's say the script is 100 pages, so that is literally 20 pages. Yeah. Like, they are flying through things. And then I was there was a, I can't remember what movie it was.

They come in and threw paint on the wall and it was making a name for them. But apparently, if someone goes hey, this shot doesn't match the last one you did, Tyler will just go, who's noticing? No one's watching for that. Oh, my God. I like it.

He goes, huh, how do we distract from that? Can you come on her face? Yeah, just come on her face. You know what you should do? Come on her face. No one will notice we're still in the kitchen. That's crazy. Yes.

Wild. To button the seat. Wild. I think our session is over. come on her face no one noticed we're still in the kitchen that's crazy yes to buy a scene now i'm pretty sure she did that wipe of the eye with just the middle finger i think the session is over wow and it's so juicy everyone's fucking each other people be dying like and then there's like i don't know 20 series regulars So the theme song is so long. And then at the end, they have them all walking. And you're like, this is a football team. This is a lot of people. This is wild.

Outstanding entertainment. I need to catch up, but it's fun. Catch up? Or just finish it, you mean? Oh, I think it's still going. There's so many episodes. Absolutely. Tony Barry's like eight shows at the same time at any given moment

Let's have a real good time. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian.

Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.

Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest

and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I

was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. So the Madea universe you were into. Yes.

Not so much Lord of the Rings. Not so much Star Wars but a little bit Star Wars. A little, I get it. Was there another one? We did Marvel. Marvel's a lot.

You gotta do a lot of homework to like understand things. It's literally 15 times more than anything you just said. It's wild. times more than anything you just said. It's wild. I, again, understand why people like it. Yeah.

Did you guys do Harry Potter? No, because we've both seen Harry Potter. Oh, so that would be against the rules. Yeah, because we've seen it. And then... Can we pitch something to you? Batman. Oh, Batman.

Uh-huh. Not for me. And none of them were for you. Dark. Yes, the Joel Schumacher Batman and Robin was for me. Oh, them were for you Dark yes the Joel Schumacher Batman and Robin was for me oh no that's the best one

and it gets so disrespected it's camp classic it really does it's so camp yeah and I'm like everyone's like the 60s is the best one

or whatever and I'm like that's camp as well that's just camp not for me it's just camp first of all if you don't understand

that Uma Thurman is doing the greatest work of anyone's career she's in a different movie and I love it. I love it. She's the only one who understood it. It's her like dancing around me like, I'm going to spell on you.

It is iconic. George Clooney's line reads are masterful. It is so incredible. He recently was like interviewed and he was like, yeah, that movie wasn't good. He didn't get it. It would have been so cool if he was like, yeah, that movie wasn't good. He didn't get it. It would have been so cool if he was like, yeah, I'm pretty proud of it. It's ridiculous. I don't like when actors do that.

When they throw the whole movie under the bus. Because I'm like, you didn't go to set every day looking to make a bad thing. Maybe it didn't cut together well, but you put work in and that's something to be proud of. Dakota Johnson recently, with Madame Webb of not threw it under the bus, but I think she was a vocal about understanding and knowing how bad it was. And it was sort of like, I respect it. She actually had a point. She was like, I signed up for something that was totally different in doing this movie.

I saw where we're at as an industry, which is that movies are essentially made by committee. It's bad. Execs are not good right now. We are going in a bad direction and what's scary is it's not just the big movies that that happens for anymore. It's also happening with the smaller movies, which is freaky. That's not good. She does a lot

of indies and a lot of big movies. She's coming out and saying that and she broke her asshole promoting that movie, like she was out on every show. She was. But dare I say you did work. I think it's fine to say art by committee doesn't work. No.

But I think, I don't know, there's a nicer way. Like it's a movie that people paid money to see. Yeah. There's honestly, this is my, I don't think so. Okay. But I loved Madame Web. Okay, I had fun during Madame Web. I had such a good time. The last scene?

She looks like the Oracle from The Matrix in the most insane way. Dakota Johnson looks like the Oracle. The Oracle from The Matrix meets Professor X meets Dakota Johnson. Oh my god. It's the only way to calibrate exactly what that is. And she's so The Oracle from the Matrix meets Professor X meets Dakota Johnson. Oh my God. Why have I seen this?

It's the only way to calibrate exactly what that is. And she's so fucking funny in it. It's so funny. I love her. The line reads are so funny. Sidney Sweeney is in a different movie. Those girls didn't have any sort of chemistry. I was like, you guys send them to some sort of camp to get to know each other.

They didn't talk one time unless the camera was on. And then the villains, all of his dialogue was in ADR. Yeah, yeah, I've heard about that. It is, but it is jarring to see all the big screen. It's way more shocking than you can even know. At one point he is speaking and his mouth is closed and I yelled, they didn't finish the movie. There's full on parts where his mouth is saying something different than what you're hearing.

And it's like, what? And then I was with my friend and I was like, what do you think happened? And he was like, I think what happened was they realized the movie didn't make any fucking sense. Yeah. And they had to make it clear. Like, we have to know like what the villain is doing and what they want. But also all his lines are like, the reason we're doing this is because these girls have come to me in my dreams and I will kill them. It was a very strange accent

that... But you nailed it. Thank you. It should have been you. That was the only thing that was the problem with the movie was that it wasn't you. These girls, I have to go get them. And then at one point he's like, not wearing shoes, walking in the street. I'm like, who does that? And then I loved how hard

they were like, it's 2003. I had such a fun time. That they were very emphatic in the street. I'm like, who does that? And then I loved how hard they were like, it's 2003. I had such a fun time. That was another part of it. They were very emphatic at the time. For some reason, it takes place like 16 years ago. It's a period piece. Carry the one. But I will say, I know Dakota said she signed up for one thing,

but there is a scene where she has blood on her hands and it truly looks like she's like, I guess I'll wash these. Like I was like, that's on you. That's a choice you made. That's not editing. And that wasn't writing. Blood on your hand.

Oh no. A girl. So that's, I just, I think everyone made choices and everyone's continuing to make choices and everyone will make choices going forward. My choices, I'll probably see it again in theaters.

Wow. Is it still there? It's on my plane. Is it? It was on my plane on the way over. So maybe it's not. I think you'll have probably see it again in theaters. Wow. It's on my plane. Is it? It was on my plane on the way over. So maybe it's not. I think you'll have fun in the sky. 100%. Sky film for sure. Honestly, you could go in and be like, this is a satire social commentary

on the superhero genre and it's a genius movie. If you think about it that way, it is a genius movie. I also just watched Showgirls for the first time. And I was like, boy, oh boy, this is incredible. Every choice is... It's aged very well.

It really has. It feels like it was made yesterday. I loved it. Elizabeth Berkley's performance is stunning. And the woman who plays her roommate, I was like, she should be bigger. She should be in everything. In order to have a grounded performance next to Elizabeth Berkley, that is a feat. She's very talented.

You're right. Digger Sean, very good. Oh, she's so good. She's so good. She understood the assignment. She really did. I like nice tits. I like nice tits.

You like chicken and vegetables? Tastes like dog food. That is like true camp classic in every intentional way. You know what I mean? I don't know. People don't have to like shit on movies. A movie does not have to be perfect. No.

Perfect is boring. I feel like you get to have like a nice fantasy adjacent supernatural movie moment in this. Yes. Was it fun? I get to fly. Yes. And it in this. Yes. Was it fun? I get to fly. Yes. And it's really fucking cool. Was it on wires?

Yes. I was on wires in a harness. And it was funny because I've worn a harness before and I've flown before. Sexually. Sexually, yes. In a big old swing. Fuck me, daddy. I'm horny.

But I was in the harness and I was like, oh boy, this is pretty uncomfortable. And I feel like I'm tilted forward. Is there any way we can fix that? And he was like, oh, if you're uncomfortable, that means you're safe. And then I immediately thought back to the other harness I was in. I was like deeply comfortable, like swinging around in Romania because that's where I shot the thing. And I was like, did I almost die? Romania?

Yeah, it was at a Nestle commercial. Romania was the Nestle commercial? Yeah, it was a commercial that only aired overseas. And the stunt guy, I remember him saying, he was like, we tested the harness on the biggest man we could find. You are still much bigger, but you will be okay. The Romanian person was... And then they used fishing wire to move me around, and I was

like, huh, this budget is low, but on this, the budget was high. How high did you fly? Pretty fucking high. Really? I don't know. I almost was like six feet in the air, but that's... That's a me. It felt like I...

You were higher than my head. A full story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet you were up a full story. Yeah, probably. I feel like I was like at the like higher than that ceiling. I was like high. Damn. It was like very high up. And you felt very powerful. I felt really powerful, but also it's funny

they left in the movie like my little feet go out because the harness didn't allow me to like close my legs and look, because I'm fat. But I think it looks funny and I love it. It just looked like you had

the power to levitate. Oh, thank you. But yeah, it was really cool. And then I did have like a monologue to say in this guy. Yes.

So I did it a couple times and then there was a time where I was like, I might pass out because it's like pressing on my diaphragm and I was like, can I come down

for a second? And everyone was like, yes! And I don't know why I thought they'd was like, I might pass out because it's like pressing on my diaphragm. And I was like, can I come down for a second? And everyone was like, yes! And I don't know why I thought they'd be like, no, but it's like not that hard. You just lower me and like take a minute. And then they have like little apple boxes for me immediately. It was really cool. Yeah.

I felt taken care of. You felt taken care of. Good. That's a funny monologue to you, by the way. Oh, thank you. Because the joke I remember is like, so Nicole plays the president of the American Society for Magical Negroes and she is basically saying that, like,

we do important work and in our work we have raised our life expectancy to, what is it, to that of a white non-smoker. White non-smokers, yes. That was a monologue? Yeah. It's a funny monologue, but that's a long one. Yeah, it was pretty long and it was tough to do in a harness and then I was standing on a little

base for some of it for multiple takes and then I got to improvise and at one point I have to climb up a ladder and that was fun to play with that physicality it was just really fun and the director Kobe just trusted me to bring what I wanted to bring that's cool

and then we molded it from there it was fun and Justice is adorable he's so wonderful David Alan Greer is adorable. Justice is so cute. He's so wonderful. David Alan Greer. David Alan Greer is so kind and nice. Such a real legend, right? Such a fucking hero. Yeah, I really, really like him.

At the wrap party, there was like, you know, light food and whatnot. You could have ordered something. I didn't realize that. And he ordered a pizza and he only ate half of it. And he's like, all right, I'm getting out of here. And I was like, all right, bye, David. It's so good to see you he's like, alright, I'm getting out of here. And I was like, alright, bye David. It's so good to see you. Would it be weird if I ate the rest of your pizza? And he was like, yeah.

And I was like, I'm gonna. Why would that be weird? Because we weren't sitting at the same table. I don't know what he did to that pizza. Bye. Chow down on it. Also, I'm taking someone's leftovers. I mean, if he's not gonna take them, I feel like at that point it's family style.

Alright. It's family style. You were above board. I feel. It's a wrap party. The rules are a little massaged, you know? The wrap parties are only coming back now. You know what's funny? The thing I'm shooting right now, it's the very first time ever that I've done something where people aren't wearing masks on set.

It's so different. It is different. And you get to know people more. Yeah, absolutely. And you feel more connected. Yeah. What are you shooting? Can you say?

Yeah, I'm shooting this series on Netflix called No Good Deed. It's fun. You know what's funny too? A lot of the people that are on this crew were on the last show I was on. Oh. And I didn't realize. Oh, yeah, you didn't recognize because of the mask. Because I had never seen their bottom face.

Suddenly I'm like seen their bottom face. Suddenly I'm like, oh, wow. Like, I didn't realize how like impersonal, obviously we did, but like it really stopped that thing that's fun about being on a set. You know, like, yeah. I mean, we spoil ourselves at work

because it's like, oh, you see people every week. Yeah, you're very spoiled. Very spoiled. see people every week. You're very spoiled. You're very spoiled. You're very spoiled. You're very spoiled. Wow, I kind of like that. Is Nailed It still on? You can log in to Netflix and watch it.

I don't know if it's coming back. I simply don't know. I would love for it to come back. I feel like people still like it. I don't know if it's coming back. I simply don't know. You literally don't know? No, I don't know. I would love for it to come back. I feel like people still like it. I do love getting paid, but also it is a fun job. Yeah, it looks so fun. Genuinely a fun job, and I do like doing it. I love Jacques

Torres. Also, it's really fun to figure out how contestants are going to take me in. You think at this point they don't already have an idea of how to take me in. You think at this point, like they don't already like have an idea of how to take you in? Well, they cut out me saying fuck and like stuff like that. Like sometimes I'll read the prompter and be like,

well, fuckity fuck. And then they'll be like, you're a real lunatic. And I'm like, yes, I know. But yeah,

I just try to like make sure we're all having fun yeah it is so fun I like doing it I think I was supposed to do a nailed it holiday thing and then it got cancelled or something like I was supposed to do it and then like something didn't happen the Halloween ones? maybe?

you do special nailed it's right? we do and we only did like four episodes we were supposed to do six okay maybe that was it. There you go. Yeah, a little kerfuffle happened. Sure, sure, sure. Oh, the pandemica? No, something else. Sure. You do get like the sweetest people coming

through, though. You do immediately they endear themselves to you. Casting is very good at what they do. They're really great at finding just like very nice, sweet people who don't take themselves too seriously. I don't think we've had any contestants who are really bummed about things. They're just like, I just came for fun. Let's give it up for casting people in general.

Because I'm thinking about this in terms of dating. And I'm like, why can't I find a single, normal guy? I've been on a casting job for years at this point to be like i just want a guy who's this this and this not so much to ask for these are people who professionally do this for like on mass like we need this many people of this type let's go out in the world and find them it's wild and then when you watch something you're like oh my god the chemistry is off the like yeah i just watched Goodfellas. I know, very late on it, but whoever cast that, I was

like, Jesus fucking Christ. Everybody is spot on. It is so good. And there's so many characters. Who's one of the wives? Lorraine Bracco. She is fucking incredible. She lost to Ghost

Whoopi Goldberg that year. Yeah. Which I really love Otome Brown. Yeah, I mean, come on. You know, Divine Joy Randolph played Otome Brown

on Broadway. Yes. Oh my God. And she was incredible. She was nominated for a Tony Award. Yeah. And she said,

she was on Watch What Happens Live and he does this game sometimes like, have you met them? And went through a bunch of famous people and he was like, asked about Beyonce. Oh, Beyonce. And he was like, asked about Beyonce. Oh, Beyonce.

And Devine was like, yes, Beyonce and Jay-Z came to Ghost. Wow. And afterwards they came back and I met Beyonce and Jay-Z. And I guess like, it's just like, you just wouldn't expect to see them at like a Broadway show. Ghost on Broadway. I mean, if you love the movie, you got to see the musical. I guess. But do you see Beyonce and Jay-Z?

Beyonce walks into Jay-Z's like room. Knock, knock, knock. Hey, babe, I want to see the musical. I guess. But do you see Beyonce and Jay- Beyonce walks into Jay-Z's room. Knock, knock, knock. Hey, babe, I want to go see Ghost. Babe. Yeah, for sure. Did you see? Ghost is on Broadway. And I would like to see it.

We can leave blue with a babysitter. I would love to hear the conversation. The planning for Ghost. Right? Oh, my God. That's beautiful. Okay, listen. That is so neat.

Do you guys know Ghost? Do you know the story of Ghost? Yeah. Love Ghost. Right? Oh my God. That's beautiful. Okay, listen. Do you guys know Ghost? Do you know the story of Ghost? Love Ghost. I want to do a sequel to Ghost where I play Otome Brown's daughter where we don't know that Carl had like

a son or whatever. I'm dating Carl's son who's only dating me to get to Otome because he knows that Otome had something to do with Carl's death and then kills Otome.

Otome takes Patrick Swayze's part and then we have to go find Molly to let her know with Carl's death. And then kills Odomay. Odomay takes Patrick Swayze's part. And then we have to go find Molly to let her know that Carl's son is on his way to kill her. It's a perfect second fucking beat. Oh my God. And I want Paramount to give me... You have thought about it

and you have a pitch. You have a pitch. And you just did it. I bought it in the room. Thank you. And you don't need Swayze to do it. I'm looking at our focus features We need to get focus features

On the phone with Paramount Yeah what the hell This Cause if you don't want it Searchlight does Searchlight does I'm telling you that right now Disney does

Oh period Period I have to This is how movies work Yeah You say it on a podcast And then Mr. Paramount goes That was a good idea

They listen to this Might as well Commission I don't know why Call Nicole Mr. Paramount goes, that was a good idea. They listen to this. Might as well commission. I don't know why Mr. Paramount is southern. Yeah, he's like he sounds rough. Sad, sad, sad. Oh, I gotta get that movie. Ghost is good though.

It's my favorite fucking movie. That, My Cousin Vinny and Houseguest. Have you met Whoopi? You've been on The View. Yes. She's such a delight. She's great.

She's so nice. She's one of those people where it's like, meet your heroes. Yeah. It is a meet your heroes moment. And she like, I think she does a really good job of like keeping up with like the youth. I think she like really like studied like our little generation of comedians. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think she's proud of us.

Yeah. That's the sense I get when I go see her. When I did it, she like referenced something that I had done. I was like, you've watched me? Cause I like grew up watching ghost and I always thought ghost was a rom-com because there is romance.

There's romance. She's so funny in it. Yeah. The bank scene still makes me laugh. And she's like, who are you talking to? It's just so, and then the pink outfit.

Yeah. And then she gives the check to the nun, and the, oh! It's so cool that that's an Oscar winning performance. Yes.

Absolutely. I mean, Molly, you endanger girl. You just accept it as part of the culture, but it had to be created. It had to be created by Whoopi.

I miss, I mean, like she would never do it anymore, but like, she was one of the great Oscar hosts. Yes! I think she would do it again if it was a thing

that was possible. Right. I think she's just it again if it was a thing that was possible. I think she's just in New York every day doing the view. I feel like with award shows, we stopped doing big ideas. Like big swings. Maybe it was the Tonys, I don't remember, but Whoopi came out of the ceiling.

It was the Oscars. She was doing Sexy Beast. She was doing... Come and get me, boys! But then she went,. Moulin Rouge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come and get me, boys! But then she went, I am the Sexy Beast! Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was so good.

It's so fun when people take big swings and have a nice time. But I think big swings and internet culture don't go well together. No. But you would think they would.

Yes. It's not like they care about internet culture now because he came out and did a monologue, Kimmel. I mean, it was good, but it wasn't like they were trying to in our culture now Because what It's like he came out and did a monologue Kimmel I mean like it was good But it wasn't like they were trying to Get Gen Z with it

I know Which I thought was a good thing It's a great move Yeah I'm all for big swings But don't let the big swing swing so swingy That it feels try hard Yeah

Like still be the Oscars Yes But give me what be coming from the ceiling Yeah Or like a Hugh Jackman doing a musical number or like, I don't know, like fun, fun, big give me a set.

Yeah. In your experience of hosting award shows as a seasoned award show host, is that where you're going to lead with going forward? Or is this something you've learned? Like, I feel like I wasn't given the latitude to take a big swing. I'll always sell a joke, whether I like it or not. If someone higher up than me really, really likes it,

I will sell the fuck out of it. You're so good to do that. I don't think I, I'm like, I don't want to say that. Well, also it's like once you're there and if you can beat that joke, beat the joke. But if you can't sell the joke. Don't bail on it if you have nothing better. No, that sucks. But if you can't, sell the joke. Don't bail on it if you have nothing better.

No, that sucks. And then it's like, you weren't the only one writing it. There's other people writing it. You're going to throw them under the, that's not nice. I have it on good authority that, so all the presenter bits are written, right? But one of the Oscar presenter bits was was written by the people doing it. And it didn't go well. And they say, do the bits.

And they pitched them a lot of bits. And there's a lot of options on the table, but people really think they can do it better. And then if you're not there actually marinating in it and really understanding how it's going to feel in the room, you can't, it doesn't really matter who you are. You might not know better. You can't go up there and do something that's just not in the tone or of the vibe of what's happening. Like, it's not going to go great. I just also, like, I'm not someone who can cosign on, like,

I'm going into this thing where there's a bunch of writers who've been working on it for weeks. And it's been their job. And like, I'm going to do my own thing. Like, if you're not good enough to execute what they're doing or if you feel above it, that's the issue.

Yeah. At the Emmys, they had me bite into a Emmy-shaped cake. And did I want to eat a bunch of fondant? No. But I was like, I see where this is. I'm going to get it all over my dress. It's going to crumble on the floor. It's going to be cute. It'll be funny. And it killed. It crushed. All I was like, I see where this is. I'm going to get it all over my dress. It's going to crumble on the floor. It's going to be cute.

It'll be funny. And it killed. It crushed. All I had to do was really commit to being like, that wasn't good. Good chomping. But you didn't have to get talked too much into that, did you? No.

Because you're a pro. Are you kidding? I'm not thinking. I'm not getting paid. You want me to beat your joke and not get paid for it? No. Because also that's work for you. No.

Yeah. I got to sit at home and be like, what's funnier than this joke about Lady Bird? No. I'll do it. Do it. That is the perfect perspective. You'll sell it. Yeah.

Why not? What's the harm in it? Even if you don't like it, whatever. Just give me that piece of cake. Who cares? Give me the cake and I'll beat it. Let me ruin the dress. I guess that's the only thing

that would rub me is just like, this is gonna ruin my gown. That's fine. The network paid for it. I'll get this shit dry cleaned if I want. Like what? Wow. I'm also not vain like that. I'll look pretty, but like I'll get nasty for a bit. I don't care. I still remember your

Emmys look from a few years ago. It was purple with the puffs. I'm colorblind. It was blue look from a few years ago. It was purple with the puffs. I'm colorblind. It was blue. No, it was purple. It was purple. It was Siriano and I said I wanted to wear purple and he made this like, I didn't even see the sketches. I just saw, I was

told, don't worry about it. And then Marco brought me this dress and I cried. I had never put on something so pretty and as a fat woman, like you just don't get to wear beautiful things like that. And it is on tour. It's like in a museum. Really?

Yeah. And I wish I had it. Like as part of a Christian collection? Yeah. Siriano has like a bunch of dresses that go around and are in museums. And it was an FIT for a little bit. I think it was in New Orleans for a little bit. So it is an iconic, it was such a pretty dress.

It tells you that he really prizes it. He's very proud of that. It feels so cool. Yeah, that's awesome. He is a really, like, he's in the culture, man. He is a pop culture icon. You know, I have not met him outside

of this one thing, but Bowen and I were at the GLAAD Awards last year, and they did, like, an have not met him outside of this one thing, but Bowen and I were at the GLAAD Awards last year and they did like an auction and they were auctioning off a reading with Tyler Henry, Hollywood medium, who I call Twink Psychic. And Matt loves him. I love him. And it was like, you will get an exclusive reading with Tyler. And I was like, oh my God. And so they started the bidding high, but I was like, I'm going for it.

I was like, I had the opportunity. And so I raised the paddle and it was like, all of a sudden it was like looking like I was going to win. And then someone from over across the room is going. So Bowen says, I'll split it with you. Keep going. So we keep going. Suddenly it's a battle between me and Bowen and Christian Siriano.

And it was cute. It was actually very cute. He sort of got up out of his chair and stared us down. But he won. We backed off because it literally, I think it went for like 30 grand. Yeah. Oh my God. We got a tap out.

It was insane. I think our hands were in the air for this crazy amount of money to the point where we were like, what's happening? What are we doing? We're going to split it. It's for an amazing cause, et cetera, da, da, da. And then we lost and I was fine. And I hope his reading was great.

He should come on the show and talk about the rating. We would love to have Christian. Why don't you have Tyler, the Hollywood medium, come on the show and give you guys a reading? He seems like someone who is... I would be down for that. I'd be so down for that. But there's something about him that I'm like, I'm really intimidated. And like, I don't know. I would feel so crazy to

reach out to him and be like, hey, I host a podcast. You know what? We're going to do it. We're going to reach out. Do it. But here's the thing. Have you ever had like a psychic reading? Yeah. Yeah.

All the time. Has it gone good? Yeah. I have one person that I've been to only one time, but I will go back. They told me a conversation that I had with my sister the day before and then told me what I should say to her. I said it to her and she responded with, I really needed to hear that. Whoa. They predicted something

would happen. It happened. I didn't know what it was. He didn't know what it was, but it was like a big thing that happened. And then another thing that he said was going to happen just happened. And I was like, we're going back. Gotta go back. Gotta figure some shit out. Love him. And then I just saw this other lady whose name escapes me. But she said some stuff. It was Lorelai. It was Lorelai Gilmore. She spoke so fast I didn't get it.

Paladino patter. But yeah, I love them. I just paid for a psychic reading for my dog. I want to know what he's thinking. Alright, I've heard. I love, I just paid for a psychic reading for my dog. Oh, wait, dog psychic. I want to know what he's thinking. All right. I've heard that these people are legit.

Are legit. Okay. They really are. I'm excited. I was going to get one for a few years ago. A friend of mine, but the dog has sadly passed. But I always wanted to get a dog psychic reading because I always wanted to know. But maybe they could talk to the dog from beyond.

That's actually, that's a great. I don't know. Maybe I'll broach that subject. I don't know. It might be sensitive. It might be sensitive. But maybe they could talk to the dog from beyond. That's a great gift. Maybe I'll broach that subject. I don't know. I might be sensitive. Oh yeah, don't. Never mind. That's terrible. I never really bought the psychic thing. I always thought it was fun. And then we went last year. I had gone through a kind of traumatic

breakup. And Bowen and our friend Patrick took me to go see the psychic. The psychic sends Bowen and my friend Patrick took me to go see the psychic and the psychic sends Bowen and my friend Patrick out of the room like into the freezing cold. Oh my god. So I hadn't heard from like a person in like weeks

and I thought I never would again. And the psychic looks at me and goes he's gonna call you. And I was like I don't think he is. Nicole my phone rang and it was that person. Where't think he is. Nicole? My phone rang. And it was that person. Where was this? In New York? In New York. Will you give me their name? No, because then

that person, then I got scammed. She was a full scammer. So once that happened, it opened the door to me, of course believing anything she said. Because why wouldn't I? She had literally Was that just like dumb luck? I don't know. Then after that happened, she then starts to be like, now I need this amount of money from you so I can be your spiritual guide because you know I'm for real.

Okay. And of course gave her that all that money, which was the worst. This is how traumatized I was. Okay. So then I'm leaving and I'm feeling like sick to my stomach. I call Bowen and I'm like, this just happened. I am in a really bad place. I can't believe I'm in this.

He goes, I don't like this. Like you were like, she got me a little bit. She got me to pay like $500 for a chakra reset. And I felt nothing. He immediately felt like he got caught. I got caught. So then he goes, I don't like this. And I think you need to stop talking to her.

I hang up the phone. She calls and she goes, I know that you're feeling doubts. Did she have like a wiretap? Like what the fuck? Then I literally, then I started to think that Bowen and my friend Patrick were in a conspiracy with the psychic and this other person. You never told me this. To extort money from me. Oh my God.

If you were me, you wouldn't have thought that? I don't know. I don't think so. Because we walked into the psychic who I didn't know, but my friends knew. And I was like, are they?

Patrick knew. I did not know. I was like, are they working me? Oh my, are they working me? I was like, I thought that one of the most

logical explanations in a world where like, psychics aren't real the logical explanation was oh they're after me my good sisters i fucking hate this lady even more because she made you think that i was like plotting against you i literally it was a moment it was a temporary moment that i had and i was doing but how are we connecting the dots how did that man call you after she was like, he's gonna call you? The only explanation

is that she actually has this psychic gift. Because then I literally thought to myself, is my psychic in with this person who I was introduced to by my friend who was there and I was just like, is this a conspiracy? Give me her name.

I want to see her. Because I'm telling you who also might go conspiracy? Give me her name. I want to see her. I will give you her name off air. I want to see her. Because I'm telling you who also might go back. Me. No, you guys. I might go back. If you go back. I love it.

No, you can't. I hope 10 years from now we're in a documentary and we're like, it seemed like a good idea at the time. He's anguished. I gave her all my money. Literally. Oh, it was enough money for my accountant at the end of the year to be like, hey, who's this?

And why? Was this right? And I was like, it was right. It was a personal expense. And so then I went to my therapist and I was like, hey, are psychics real? And my therapist was like, I do believe that they do have a gift. I think they

have a heightened sense. Like the way anyone has like... Yes, yes, but they pair that gift do have a gift. I think they have a heightened sense. Like the way anyone has like... Yes, yes. But they pair that gift with an intuition to... Grifter. To scam. To take money. So I think that, yes, what you're saying is like,

it goes so far. And then on top of that, they utilize the fact that they're able to get into someone emotionally to then say things like, I need to now do spiritual work on you. It's going to cost X amount. And then say things like, I need to now do spiritual work on you. It's going to cost X amount. And then she was like,

I need to do spiritual work on X amount of other people. And before I left, she told me something like, don't trust one of your friends. See, this is the fucking thing that- Because that's what they do. They try to cut you off

from people that might talk you out of it. And that's like Cole abuser behavior. It is. 100%. Give me her info. No, no, no, Cole. Also, I'm so excited.

We talked about her on this podcast for a couple episodes and multiple people reached out to me to be like, is it this person? And I was like, yes.

Whoa. And she has a reputation for fucking scamming. And I know I paid for her Disney trip. I love that. So she goes to me, she's like,

I'm going to follow up with you in like two weeks. And she goes, oh, actually, I can't go that week because I'm actually taking my kids to Disney. She lives in like studio. Let's just say this. I'm obsessed with her. It didn't look like she had expendable income to go do the Disney trip unless you paid. I paid for it.

Does she do Zoom sessions? No, I'm not doing that. I want her info. Nicole. Because here's the thing. Honestly, Nicole, bowing aside right now, if you do engage with her, I'm not doing that. I want her in full. Because here's the thing, honestly, Nicole, bowing aside right now, if you do engage with her, I want you to go in. Thank you. But I, okay.

You found a good guy who is solid. I love him. He's great. At one point, I was trying to say something. He's like, you're a witch. And I was like, yes, that's what I was going to say. And he was like, yeah, I wrote it down right here. And it was like already written. It was like wild. Wow. Because I am a witch. I make things happen. It's wild. Are you a manifester or you do believe you have actual witchy ability? No, I like it down right here. And it was like already written. It was like wild. Wow. Because I am a witch. I make things happen. It's wild. I see that.

Are you a manifester or you do believe you have actual witchy ability? No, I like make things happen when I'm like in peril. When I was in Greece, I was at this like beach club and it was like the hottest day of the year. And we asked the cab driver

if the cab would come back and get us. I was with my friend Mano and he could corroborate this. And the cab driver's like, no one's going to come get you. It's too far out. And we were like, okay. But he's like, there's a bus stop that's like a 10 minute walk.

And we said, okay. So we were walking and it's truly so hot. And we were so drained. And like the sand was burning our toes and like Mano was miserable and I was miserable. And there was like a couple cars passing, And like Mana was miserable and I was miserable. And there was like a couple cars passing, but really no cars.

And I was like, doesn't anyone hitchhike here? And he was like, I don't know, Nicole. And I was like, okay. And then I was like, a car's going to stop and we're going to get in it. And then a car stopped. This lady goes, where y'all go? Not y'all, it was Greece. She's like, where?

I can't do a Greek accent. She was like, where are you going? That's it. That was it. She asked us where we were going. We said the bus stop. And she's like, but then where after? And we were like, oh, we're going back to the boat. And she's like, well, I'll just take you. And Mano was like, do you? And I was like, I'm already in the car.

And then we got in the car. There was other people walking on the road that she did not stop for. And then she took us all the way to the boats. And it was really lovely. And Mano was like, that's really wild that you said, doesn't anyone hitchhike here? And then a car stopped. Because he's like, I don't think people hitchhike here. I made that

car up here. I refuse to believe differently. I think, I believe you have the gift. I don't think you need to reach out to this specific person. I would like to. Why? Why? I want to know how to harness my gift further. I would like to. Why? Why? I want to know how to harness my gift further. I would like to know when. Oh, I get that.

When and where I'm meeting a man. Yes. When and where I'll get to suck a dick again. Yes. When and where I'll get deep dick. When and where I'll get my back blown out. When and where I'll get my titties sucked on. So you want specific granular details on when.

I want longitude and lateral. You want longitude and lateral. Latitude. Latitude. Oh my God. What I loved about her too is she gave drama. Like one time, like again,

I'm devastated. It's the lowest I've ever been. And so, is that true? Sort of. So then I go back and she like, she goes to shuffle her cards

because it's the tarot cards and as she's shuffling, she just starts to shake her head and she goes, it's bad. It's really bad. And I'm like, really? She goes, there is darkness.

And she's just like doing the cards. And she's just giving so much. I'm obsessed with her. She's doing like the cuntiest performance. She's just like, ugh, it's so good. Is she a white lady? No. Ethnically ambiguous.

Sure, we love to see it. I'm going to call her Latina. Okay. The way she kicked me and Patrick out was also so dramatic. She goes, you, out. You guys got to go. She goes, I don't like your energy. Get out.

She goes, it's too much energy. She goes, I need him alone. And they go, are you okay? I was like, mm-hmm. This lady. I'm good. I was not. I can't wait. I'm so excited. Tell her I'm good I was not I can't wait

I'm so excited tell her we say hello what I'm scared about no tell her we say hello and then we're on to her do not tell her I sent you because you know what

she'll know she will know you're gonna walk in she's gonna be like this yeah I've been waiting sit down I she goes I heard you were

talking shit on a podcast I need this she goes I heard you were talking shit on that podcast and I this she goes I heard you were talking shit on that podcast and I'll say don't say that word and she'll say wait a minute

this is a good fodder for an idea that we have oh that's good that actually is good what for like a movie or a TV show? Something. You should write it. It's really iconic.

It's really, I like it. I literally almost did write a script about like someone who gets fucked over like a long con by their friends and a relationship and a psychic. I think that's really cool. And like they all leave town and like he's got no money

and like he finds them and kill bills them. Oh. The Real Housewives of New York City are back for another bite of the Big Apple. Look who it is. Joined by elite new friends. Rebecca Minkoff. Have you ever heard of her?

But things could change in a New York Minute. She had this wild night and ended up getting pregnant by some other guy. What? You told her? Not today, Satan. Not today. The Real Housewives of New York City, all new Tuesdays at 9 on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. On Thanksgiving Day 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean.

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian.

Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation.

Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.

We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. I just killed my ex that performance at the Grammys was fun this is amazing that was so fun that was a big swing

are you a fan I like her I like her a lot I like that she lies yeah have you like seen like the deep dive and like her lies

she lies will she tweet things will she be like I don't have a TV and then someone will be like here's a picture of you in a TV when I met her like very silly things silly things like little lies where she was like she'd be like, I don't have a TV. And then someone would be like, here's a picture of you in a TV.

When I met her. Like very silly things. Silly things like little lies. She was like, I don't leave the house. And I was like, I feel like that can't be true. Well, you met her out of the house, right? I met her out of the house. So that's how you know that's not true.

I don't leave the house. I love it. I love people who tell little lies that you could like just disprove. That's like that Instagram man who was like, I can't remember his name, but he was like, oh, I trained with monks or something. He's like, he gives advice, but then someone's like, well, here's your TikTok from Brooklyn at the time that you said

you were with the monks. Like, it's fun. I love when people lie. But you just have to catch them in the line and make it fun. Yes. Otherwise, you have to get the ball rolling. Yeah. Otherwise, not good. I don't know. Don't love liars. But a little one? I guess if it's like harmless, like what's a, I don't know. Don't love liars. But a little one? I guess if it's harmless.

Like, what's a harmless lie? What's a harmless lie? We harmlessly lie about- I ate breakfast. Yeah, that's funny. And if you do that after, that's delightful. I ate pancakes every day. That's a funny lie.

That's a funny lie. Or like, I've never seen an orange before. I was like, you have. You have. How's your fountain? Honestly, better. I found a really nice man who comes and cleans it. How often?

Alejandro. Once a month. That's really frequent. That's good. Well, you have to, otherwise water gets stagnant and then it starts a stinking and then the mosquitoes come and they sting you. Bite ya. Oh, 100%.

Did you inherit the fountain or install the fountain? I inherited the fountain. Okay, so you wouldn't choose to live this life? No. Yeah. Is the fountain in front of your home? Mm-hmm. Okay, so it's very much a centerpiece.

It's a sled. Yeah. I think it's nice. Therefore, Alejandro has to come and... Yeah. And birds sometimes take baths there. And one bird passed away. Oh. I like was like, what's

there? And I was like, bones? It got down to the bone? Yeah. So you just let it sit and decompose. Well, I just hadn't. It's not funny. It's the circle of life. You let feather and flesh go into the drip. There were still feathers, but like I could see the bone.

But it's like indirect sunlight and it just got roasted. But then I was like what happened to that bird? Why was it so sick? Like literally you're talking about this dead bird and I'm still stuck on the psychic because I do want to say

I am afraid of her. But I will say what's putting me at ease is she did tell me at the end of one session, she goes, I want you to know I don't do any dark magic. Okay. So then that's her way of saying that she does dark magic. I need her information. She's a liar.

I could give you her number. Please. No, I don't. Because here's what's not going to happen. I'm not going to give you her number. I'm going to tell you who she is and where you can find her. And I just want you to walk in. Great.

Just walk in. Great. I will do that. Next time you're in New York. I will do that. I will make a special where you can find her and I just want you to walk in just walk in next time you're in New York I will make a special trip just to see her bring a friend bring Sashir or something and if she's worth her salt she will know ahead of time that I've come that you've come for her but I feel like you'll be the me that goes in

and goes all the way with the psychic and six months you're in a relationship and Sashir will be like Bowen will be like this is bad I can't wait a relationship and Sashir will be like Bowen will be like, this is bad. I can't wait. If she kicks Sashir out, then that's a huge red flag scarlet banner. Okay. You know what I mean? Yes.

I'm so excited for this journey for me. You know what I really want to do and I might have you do with me after this is just walk into a psychic on like Hollywood Boulevard. No. He doesn't want to. Bowen doesn't believe in the

witchcraft and wizardry. I'm going to give you this man's name and I think you'll like him. Did you guys ever know Farrah Brooke, the comedian? Yes. She had a podcast called Psychic Hotline $1 a Minute. Oh yeah. And she would like have a guest on and you guys would both, she would have her and the guest call us like a cot line

and it was an amazing idea. It was good. But I went on one time and this woman just lied about everything to me. You're going to move in with someone by September. You're going to meet someone in August and then by September you'll move in. I was like, oh my god, that sounds so quick.

This was 2018? 16 or something. And like nothing happened. Nothing happened. I don't believe in phone psychic. Really? No, because I called the phone psychic. So another thing about this psychic is

I dealt with the psychic and then got obsessed and contacted like three other ones. To cross-reference. This is so fun. I know. So two of them, it all checked out. Then the last one I was on the phone and she goes, congratulations, this is the year you buy a home. And I was just like, okay.

That did not happen. Did not happen. She goes, there's no one in your life that you're worried about. I was like, no, that's not true. That's not true for anybody. She goes, things are going great in your love life. It's your career that's in shambles. I was like, that's actually opposite. That's not true for anybody. She goes, things are going great in your love life. It's your career that's in shambles. I was like, that's actually opposite.

Yeah, Diva. Your career's in shambles? And then I said to myself, do I hang up or should I just keep listening? But I'm not rude enough. I'm too polite. See, this is how you got ensnared is because you're so polite. In New Orleans, I saw this street psychic. I was wearing bright red sunglasses

with stars and moons, a gold skirt, a shirt with a dinosaur on it, a weird jacket. I looked unhinged. My hair was braided down to my butt. I walked up and I was like, I want a reading. They were like, okay. They were like, hell yeah. I sit down and they go,

you don't like attention. I was like, wait a minute. I'm're like, hell yeah. And then I sit down and they go, you don't like attention. And I was like, wait a minute. I'm dressed like the most insane person in New Orleans. That was their, like they saw you. Wait a minute. You sat down and they said, you don't like attention, huh? Mateo was like,

what is happening? He's like, this lady's wrong. And then I bought a $500 pig painting that has glitter on it. It's not. Because you hate attention. So you got something good out of it. Yeah, I mean, I paid too much.

I didn't realize you had to haggle. She said $500 and I said, okay. And then Mateo was like, that lady never thought you were going to buy that. Because she's like, I'll ship it to you. I'll overnight it for you. She was like. She took the, I'll ship it to you. I'll overnight it for you. She was like, ah! She took the money and threw herself under a table.

And you paid her $500? I paid her $500 US dollars. She probably had a great day. I still have the painting. It's my first piece of art. And boy, oh boy, is it silly. $500 for like original art, handmade art, bargain. Yeah, honestly.

I will say the skill level. Questionable? I think a child could have done it. There's literal glitter on it. It's just like a pig not at any sort of perspective. Not at any perspective.

And then just like the background is like, yeah! It looks like if Lisa Frank maybe got really sick and had long COVID. And like, she was like, gotta get another pig out there. It's tough. Got long COVID. If Lisa Frank got long COVID. Oh, I loved your special, your crowd work special, by the way.

Thank you. It was so good. I watched the whole thing and I was eating breakfast. I was like, just sat there the whole time. I was like, this is so fucking funny. Well, you're the best in the biz. You know way. Thank you! It was so good. I watched the whole thing and I was eating breakfast. I was like, just sat there the whole time. I was like, this is so fucking funny. Well, you're the best in the biz. You know it. Thank you. Your George Santos is funny. Oh, we don't have to do this back and forth. That's very, I just came to me that

And you're funny. I love that. And I was very upset that it did not come back for season two, even though the whole season was written. Should we cut that out? Yeah, but now you know what I heard? Not dead again. Really? Like, not necessarily season was written. Should we cut that out? Yeah, but now you know what I heard? Not dead again. Really? Oh, like, not necessarily dead.

Amazing. After reading, they did a larger- I guess so. Yeah, like, I heard potentially there's life in her yet. By the way, did you hear about what happened to Jennifer? Jennifer- Lewis. No, what happened?

She's okay now, but- So I had spoken to her last year. Wait, what happened? She is okay, and I'm going to tell you what happened. She's okay now. So I had spoken to her last year. Wait, what happened? She is okay, and I'm going to tell you what happened. I genuinely love her. No, she's a legend and a friend. So I had spoken to her last year, and she told me that she was going through a health thing,

but that she was fine, and that she didn't really want anyone talking about it, so she didn't want to get into it, but we'd talk about it later. And so we never reconnected again about that, but just the other day, there was a interview with her and Robin Roberts. So last year, I guess,

after I Love That For You, like, wrapped and had to come out and like everything, she went on a long vacation. She loves to travel. Like she, that's her thing. Like she always says, like, I didn't get married. She's like, I'm married to traveling. I'm married to nature.

Like that's my life. And so she took the woman who had co-written her autobiography, her last book, Stepping in My Joy, in these streets. This was post her getting the Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame. And I had just seen her. So she goes on this long vacation with this friend. I guess they got to the Serengeti. And they had seen like gorillas.

They had like done all this cool shit. It was like the six or seven stop on her world trip. And she goes in her like hotel or like her room at this like, I guess like resort in the Serengeti where it's like elevated. And I guess there was like an infinity pool that had no sides so basically it was like there was a 10 foot drop off the infinity pool oh my god no and it was pitch dark so in the Serengeti when the lights go down it gets very pitch black uh-huh so she described in this interview with Robin Roberts like she wasn't given a tour of the space. She goes out. She's in Africa.

She's enjoying herself. She walks and just falls off the side 10 feet into a rocky, dry ravine. Her shoulder and hip take the impact. She breaks her femur, which is the largest bone in her body. She's laying there. It's pitch black in, I'll say again, the middle of the Serengeti. So she somehow musters up. She says it was difficult to even take a big breath to scream.

That's how she described it. She called out for her friend Lori. She screamed like, Lori, thank God she heard her. Oh my God. Because literally Jennifer Lewis says in the interview, she goes, the last thing I heard was a lion roar. And she made a joke. She goes, and she thought, what a headline. The king ate the queen and like laughed her Jennifer Lewis laugh.

But it was like months of rehabilitation. Oh my God. And she kept it a total secret. The only person that knew was her friend because she said she didn't want to call back and tell anyone in her family, I'm in the hospital on the Serengeti. You know what I mean? Yeah, because then everyone's worried and then you have to field that.

They had to airlift her out of there. Oh my God. They took her to the hospital, then they had to airlift her out of there. It was a nightmare. That's awful. And then they showed footage of her rehabilitating. Like they took her to the hospital. Then they had to airlift her out of there. Like it was a nightmare. That's awful. And then they showed footage of her like rehabilitating. Like she is a superhero.

Yes. And a legend and an icon. And I just couldn't believe how strong she had to be to like not only survive that, but then get up from that. Yes. She says she's writing another book about it. Of course she is. She says it's going to be called get up i mean like uh and then of course like the end of the interview with robin roberts is like jennifer getting on the piano and being like i fell in the jungle i love her so much

i it's the craziest it's the wildest story. I'm literally watching it. My jaw is on the ground. It's like a 20 minute interview with Robin Roberts. And she didn't tell anyone. That's so wild. I just thought she had a health concern. I didn't know it was an actual like. Near death experience. With wild animals in the Serengeti.

Can you imagine? No. No. And by the way, video of the whole thing. What? Not of the actual fall, but her friend, I guess, had called the police and was taking video and using her phone camera to shine a light on her. Literally, it's like you see her in the position where she fell.

A wildebeest runs by. No. That's wild. You can't make it up. I don't understand why they wouldn't have some sort of barrier like to stop people from falling that's wild it was like a chic

infinity pool you better sue that place get your money I mean I recently went to Africa and I didn't fall down or anything but monkeys were trying to steal my peanuts those bastards it was so rude I was like I can are trying to steal my peanuts. Those bastards. It was so rude. I was like, I can't believe these are my peanuts. What did you say to them?

I said, these are my peanuts. Get out of here. Did you enjoy Africa? I did. I was in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, the Seychelles, and yeah, Hootsprit was another part of South Africa. It's a long flight to fucking get there, but it's stunning.

The parts I went to were beautiful. I want to go to North Africa next. Yeah. Go to North Africa. Where? I don't know. Algeria? Yeah.

Tunisia? Egypt? They got Morocco and Epcot. Oh, okay. Let me head on over to Florida. Yeah, just get on a plane, hop, skip, and then jump. Got a good table service restaurant there. Please don't talk to the psychic again.

I will. I would like to speak to this psychic. Because honestly, as traumatic as it was for me, I think it was just as traumatic for him. It wasn't just as traumatic. I was just deeply like, Matt's in a bad way. It was bad. Anyway, sorry not to bring it up again.

No, no, it's okay. I've also seen bad psychics. I had one who, she was was like you're in your hoe face men are going to be throwing themselves at you it's going to be so rich and you're going to really find yourself I'm in the driest spell of my whole life have you genuinely ever had a hoe face

because I don't think I have yeah when I lived in New York I drank a lot and I was pretty pretty loose with it this man landed in Los Angeles yesterday and immediately fucked somebody. So I don't know what he's talking about. You literally did. And the guy was hot too.

How'd you meet him? The internet. I once got fingered outside of a bar and then the man took my earring as like a souvenir. He fingered not only your pussy, he fingered the ear hole. My ear lube. He got all up in there He said I'm taking this

The nut And I'm taking this All up in your ear? This fall on Bravo It's time to turn up Think you've seen it all? I don't think you've been a good friend to me lately We're friends like that Who needs enemies? You ain't seen nothing yet. Cheers to being

Germanic. With the Real Housewives of Potomac. Oh my gosh, can I take this in? It's gonna be amazing. New York City. Everyone is a gossip. No one gets a happier life. Salt Lake City. We don't wear costumes, we wear fashion. And Below Deck Sandia. You broke the rules and now you're here getting upset. Watch all new seasons on Bravo or stream it on City TV+. Let's have a real good time. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had.

We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer. And the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me.

It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trust me, you won't want to miss this one. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere.

Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.

Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, I think it's time for I Don't Think So, Honey.

I think it's probably time. Aw, shit. You kind of hinted at yours. But you said you had something. Yeah, but like I already said my piece. Well, I guess we're getting into more pieces. Wait. This is I Don't Think So Honey. It's our one minute segment where we take a little bit of time, specifically 60 seconds,

to rant against something in culture that we just, we're over it. We're simply over it. We're simply over it. Okay. I said I had one earlier, right? Yeah, I think we both had one. I think mine just went away, but I have a new one that just took its place. Okay, good.

Okay, great. Are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm ready. This is Matt Rogers. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now. I don't think so, honey.

You need me to sign for a package. I'm not home. I'm not doing cool boy shit. I'm over there, over here. I'm out at the club. You might call me the opposite of SZA. I can't stay in the home. I am out here.

And let me tell you something. You're telling the truth. FedEx? Losers. You're obsessed with me. You're trying to check me down day after day and you can't find me. Just call me, text me, beat me if you want to reach me. Call me Kim Possible,

babe. Except it's quite possible to find me. Anyone who can find me has my number. FedEx has my number. Give me a buzz. Say, hey, is this your thing? I'll be like, yeah. And ask me, can I believe it in your doorstep? Do I have your endorsement? Yes, you do. What is the big idea? And now I have to, after three attempts, because I'm not around at 11 a.m., I have to go to the FedEx place, which I am not convinced exists,

and go to the warehouse and figure it out? I don't think so, honey. And that's one minute. Yeah, you're so right for that. Yeah, I agree. I have things that have been sent to me I will never see again. Yeah.

Because they're at the quote unquote FedEx place. I hate it. And I don't think they exist because then you try to find out where exactly is the location and it's just a phone number that you call. And it says, did you go online?

And then you go online and it's like, you got to call the number. I hate that shit. Let me talk to somebody. That's what's happening to me with Spectrum. I've been trying to cancel my cable and you can't do that online. You have to call them, but then they put you on hold. And I'm like, but I have things to do. They told me I absolutely had to upgrade my spectrum to a spectrum business

account. No. So I did that little did I know they've kept me on my original spectrum account so now I've been being charged twice for internet and wireless and television for like quite a while and quite frankly I'm pissed because I did ask them I was like does this replace my

old thing they were like it should gobbledygook you know this is words words words, words and more. And I'm just like. That's insane. You should be like, I would like a refund because why would I be paying double for the same address? If it wasn't like winning a chess game against Anya Taylor-Joy, I would be able to talk to someone. But she's very good at chess, as it were. And that's how hard it is.

She sees it on the ceiling. She sees it in the sky. But only when she does her narcotics. Drugs. I finally watched the last episode of The Queen's Gambit three weeks ago. It's a great show. Never seen it.

I watched the first six episodes of seven in the year of our Lord 2020. Never saw the finale. And then three weeks ago, I finally saw it. Spoiler alert, she wins. Checkmate, bitch. I love that. It's actually Rula Culture number 99. Queen's Gambit,

spoiler alert, she wins, bitch. Checkmate. Bowen Yang. I got something. You feeling yourself? Yeah, I'm gonna get a little gross. But I think we can all relate. Okay. Here we go. It feels like we're leafing into it.

I can't wait. This is Bowen Yang's I Don't Think So Honey. His time starts now. I Don't Think So Honey water-based versus silicone lube, which is, I see, I don't know what's what, and I don't know what to use for what situation. I just want a lube that works, that just works, period, without any fucking trade-offs. I don't want it to stain my sheets with a giant oil puddle,

but I also don't want it sticky, sticky, sticky all over me. Yeah. And it gets sticky, sticky, sticky all over them. It's like, why can't it just be oil? Oil that's water.

Olive oil. Olive oil. So the whole smell is good. Why can't it just be oil? Oil that's water. Olive oil. Olive oil. Why can't it be butter that dissolves in water that can come out in the wash? 15 seconds. Aren't we there yet? We're trying to live on Mars. We can't even do blue bright. Elon Musk, if you want to win back humanity, come up with that lube.

Ditch the cars. Okay? Do that lube. Tell them. Ditch the cars. Okay? And that's one minute. Do the lube, honey. I have to tell you, I think water-based is going to be what you love. But water-based is sticky. Is it? Is it?

I think. No, the other one's sticky, the non-water-based. The non-one? Silicone certainly stains more. Silicone is the culprit for stains. Yeah. The lube I use is gun oil water-based lubricant.

Gun oil? Gun oil. Why are men's things crazy? It's lube. Why are guns being brought into this? It's the only, honey, if it's about gun oil lubricant, I don't know, I'm mad mad in support. What? Pop, pop, pop, I'm gonna move you up. Like, what the fuck? Pew, pew.

Pew, pew, shoot, shoot. Me when I'm fucking pew, pew. Pew, pew. Just kidding. I'm more like you up like what the fuck pew pew pew pew shoot shoot me when I'm fucking pew pew pew pew just kidding I'm more like ouch if the lube is right

ouch you are in your whole phase you're up here like you touched down in Los Angeles immediately filling yourself up with men and now you're like

all fixated on lube you're a freak and a half filling yourself up with men I would love to be filled up with men and now you're like all fixated on Lou you're a freak and a half filling yourself up with men I would love to be filled up with a man 100%

but here's the thing I also like want to like them do you know what I mean oh I can't be one night stands do you remember

when you were talking earlier about like how Goodfellas got such a good cast it's cause they saw a lot of people and I do think that the way

I don't know we've heard this you're right I've heard this. You're right. I've heard that. I should just... No. Want to know an insane thing? What?

I've been watching Scorsese movies and I like woke up the other day and I was like, I think I want to work with Martin Scorsese. And I was like, says everybody. Says every fucking actor. No, not really.

It makes a lot of sense actually. Thank you. I think he'd be very taken with you and I think he'd be inspired by you. How do I meet old Marty? Old Marty. You go to a party. How do I meet old Marty? Old Marty. You go to a party. Marty at a party.

Marty at a party. Okay. He's a good director. What's a connection you have that you think is a connection to Martin Square? Didn't Lauren work with him?

I feel like Lauren Lapkus works with the last directors. No, I don't think so. Okay. There's a six degrees moment that we can make happen. You're at most two degrees away from him.

You think? I think you're probably at two degrees away from him. You think? I think you're probably at one degree away from him. I don't think so. Okay. We're going to figure this out. We're going to help. Okay. Do you even know I don't think so, honey?

I do. Okay. Okay. Dolly, you want a time? This, everyone, is Nicole Byers' I don't think so, honey. It's all over the place, but I don't think so, honey. Why are we talking about people's bodies? Poor Oprah had to turn off the comments on her Instagram because people were coming for her.

But you want to know that lady in the 80s brought out a wheelbarrow full of fat. And she was the thinnest she'd ever been because that's all she's ever wanted to be, thin. And her body just doesn't do that naturally. So why are we talking about it? Why are we mean to her? She looks great. She'll probably live a little longer. She's just maybe healthier.

Also, how come episodes of television don't have 22 episodes? I want to sit at home and I want to watch a lot of TV and I want to go to the movies. I don't want a home release. I don't want it to be streaming. I want to watch shit on the big screen

and have a big ha ha ha with all my friends in public. Ha ha ha. And I want to watch lots and lots of TV in bed. And I want 22 episodes. What the fuck is this? Eight episodes. Ten episodes.

Shit. Leave Oprah alone. Give me more TV. I want to go to the movies. Give me an AMC. Give me popcorn. Oh my God, I had a hot dog at a movie the other day and it was so good. And that's one minute.

Wow. Movie theater hot dogs are fucking day and it was so good. And that's one minute. Wow. Movie theater hot dogs are fucking amazing. They're so good. I genuinely said this this year, after we saw Madam Web, I said, everybody should be at the movies. They need to see the wonder of a movie on the big screen.

And I was really earnest about it. Of course you were. I was like, why did we stop going to the movies? Martin Scorsese would love you with this attitude. I would love to see Goodfellas on the big screen. I love movies. And I'm like, give me 22 episodes of television. So that's what I watch at home. That is what I'm consuming.

So then I'm like, oh, I want to go see a movie because that's two hours. Can I say something so fucking stupid? I'm the last person on earth to get a fucking record player and actually start playing my vinyls. The best. And I'm like, this is how all albums should be listened to. And I think it's the same thing as going to the movies. It's like, this is the best hands down way to listen to anything music.

And you're so right about like, I would have loved to have seen Goodfellas on a big screen. Right? I'm like, wait, now I want that. Yeah. Damn. And like Vidyots, wait, now I want that. Yeah. Damn. And like Vidyats, have you been there yet? No. Apparently they play old movies and I was like, oh, that's so fun and cool.

I want that. I do want to say Bowen and I did walk out of Oppenheimer. So we literally saw the premiere film of the year and we made it halfway through. But you don't know how it ends. We know how it ends. I'm kidding. We all know how it ends. 90 minutes in, that bomb

hadn't gone off. We could have been started watching Barbie a second time. But here's the thing about that. I was like, we know how to market movies. The whole Barbenheimer thing. Genius. I was like, so we know how to open movies. Let's bring it back. Let's just do that. I would agree. We did it in a bigger way than we've ever done it before with Barbie.

By the way, largely during the strike too, which shows that it doesn't have to be necessarily the same press angles. There's ways to get movies out there. Yeah. But also, on the Oprah thing, what exactly is happening? She admitted to doing a weight loss drug,

and so people are now shaming her? So she's on Ozempic. People are shaming her. She did an Ozempic Revolution special. Yeah, and my whole thing is, yes, it's for diabetics, but also like Wengovie and other I think it's a semi-glottitude, I don't know how to actually say it

but like those have been approved for weight loss and then it's like so fat people, you get mad at them for being fat and then you get mad at them for losing weight and then you're mad that they're using something to help them I'm just like so confused about the whole thing and then I'm like I think it should be illegal to talk about someone's weight

or their body I think the only thing you should be illegal to talk about someone's weight or their body. I think the only thing you should be able to say is you look good. You look stunning. Ooh, you look spicy. This I love. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You don't have to say like, you look better or like, wow, you've lost weight. It's like, what? No. They did a great episode on maintenance phase, which is a great podcast

about how like the dialogue around Ozempic is like really fucking weird because we still, we've never figured out how to talk about fat people. You know, it's like we've never, ever,

ever figured it out. And it's wild. It's like, yeah. Like you don't want them to be fat. You don't want them to get help with it. People think it's just a willpower thing. And it's like,

but you're not also thinking about like food scarcity. Like some people don't have access to like great food. Some people work from like nine to eight or whatever. And then they don't have time to exercise. And it's like, maybe that would be helpful. Quickly too. Yeah.

Which is why people eat fast food. Like, and it's like, there is a lot of shame about the way people eat too. And it's like, it's just a tool. Yeah. It's like,

I don't know, like a, an addict on Suboxone. Would you look down on that? No, it helps them. You're so right about Oprah with the whole like wheeling out the fat thing. That's all she's ever

wanted to be. For 30 years, this woman has wanted to either be like smaller or like in shape of sorts like let her be. She looks phenomenal. Yeah, I felt badly that she was so emotional about it too because it's obviously something

that has been at the center of discourse about her for the longest time and she's probably been through pretty much all of the modern waves of like, no now we figured it out, no now. It's like she's been through super thin craze body positivity phase, you know, the

big is beautiful, like and then it all ended up being hollow because three years later, it all changes. Yeah. I just think it's wild because it's like binge eating is a thing that like nobody really understands. Right. Yeah.

And then it's like, well, why can't we? Maybe it's a brain thing that's like a compulsion. I don't know. That's why psychiatrists are prescribing people on semaglutides too now because it does actually, it is like, well, if it's going to make you happier to, like, have control over some part of your being, then, like, here you go. And they're testing it with addicts because it does something that makes you not want

or crave. Oh, really? And I'm like, I don't know, this is fucking interesting. How come the discourse can't be, why did this company make this so scarce, knowing how well it works? Right. That's just, I mean, I think that's more the question. Yeah. Why is it so hard to get if it's working for people That's just, I mean, I think that's more the question. Yeah.

Why is it so hard to get if it's working for people? And then, you know, there's side effects, but there's side effects with everything. Everything. I also think that more than ever, I am convinced that people need to mind their own fucking business. I think so. Like, just mind your own fucking business. Yeah. And also just like, stop assuming that people did the quote unquote lazy thing.

Stop assuming that people are doing the fast thing. Stop assuming that like it's easy for anyone to make any decision or that your situation would be anywhere near close to theirs. Like you don't know someone else's life. Yeah. There's a weird morality that's going into it well I have to say I'm so happy that in the four years since we've last seen you you're just as delightful oh thank you you did not let the

pandemic take an ounce of your sparkle no thank you it's because I found a really great therapist since then yeah I really love her she said the other day she's like does it feel like the universe is cock blocking you and I was like bitch yes and then we had a does it feel like the universe is cock blocking you? And I was like, bitch, yes. And then we had a great big tee hee hee

cock blocking me finding a man. I feel like that's what's happening and I love that she was able to say that to me and she felt comfortable. I love her. Can I steal that for therapy tomorrow for me? Yes. I mean, I literally just. But you just fucked. But I just caught myself because I'm like, oh, I did just have

a little encounter. Yeah, but cock block meaning more than just I had sex in this instance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, cock blocking meaning... But also,

I feel like you should have, like, anybody, which sucks to hear from anybody, but, like... But I feel that way about you and I know how patronizing that sounds

and how you feel about people saying that to you, but it is just a thing of, like, Nicole, like, what is going on? But I'm like, Bowen, he's so funny also in Dix the Musical you were very funny oh thanks Nicole

directed by Martin Scorsese oh you are at the sing-along part I had a friend gleefully say yes and I looked at her and she was like I was told to sing along. That's a wonderful test.

It was so funny. They would love that. It's in the movie. God has a faggot and they need to go, you're a bigot. Josh and Aaron would love that. It made me laugh so hard. I was like, goo. Well, Nicole Byer. You better get to the theaters like Nicole's been

saying. Please. To see the new film from Focus Features. Focus Fe- Did they ask you Nicole Byer you better you better get to the theaters like Nicole's been saying please go to the theaters to see the new film from Focus Features Focus Fe- did they ask you to say it that many times? no but I mean like

there certainly was that's really funny though there wasn't a per capita on like this is the amount we need to hear Focus Features but also if if I'm told

oh it's a Focus Features film I'm going I'm gonna go see it I mean I'll see a Focus Features film it's an element of prestige I think would help the the public out there. I think repetition is funny.

I love repetition. See? I mean, like you said it and I kind of knew it was coming and it made me laugh. She laughed. Buy a big hot dog. I love hot dogs. A hot dog isn't my journey at the theater, but I'll tell you what it is. A huge fucking Coke Slurpee. Oh yeah.

Oh, I got a little icy last time I was at the theater. And I said, well, is it more expensive than a soda? And can I buy on the counter? He said, yes. And I went, then I want a soda. And then we stared at each other and he like put it in. I went, I'm tricking you.

So she was like, what's wrong with you? I saved 50 cents. You guys could have had a thing. You and the cashier. I don't think so. I think he was like, this woman's weird. She wants a smaller straw

and not the icy cup. This woman's weird. This woman's weird with Nicole Byer. Well, we love you. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for stopping by. We end every episode with a song. God is a faggot

and all love is love. Bye. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. I was a desperate delusional dreamer. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. Listen to On Purpose with

New episodes drop every Thursday during the NFL season. Listen to Dudes on Dudes on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
