I mean, if I didn't start this episode with Laymiss, would you know it was page seven? Do you hear the people sing, singing a song of angry men? It is a music of a people who will not be slaves again when the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums. There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes. Yes, we are recording this mid-Wednesday. We don't know what the outcome will be of this American election. And no, we're going to desperately try to not talk about it today. Welcome to page seven.

I hope that you are well. I hope that you are feeling as positive as we can feel because, yes, this is just the beginning of a very, very long battle for humanity and being good to be. each other. But you know what? There's always Les Mizz. And you can put it on and be like, why did Russell Crow get cast in L'A Miz? But you know what? He did what he could to be the Javert that he could be.

How are you guys doing? Congratulations to Chippers, the first dog senator voted in. Of course, that was Florida that put him in the office. So we've got a dog on the floor. I don't know Florida would give them enough treats. And hopefully you can post some motion. He was definitely saying he wanted to try to give even rights to cats and dogs, which I do think is a good platform. I am very proud of Florida for doing that because usually, you know, they got a different kind of bone to pick with the rest of the country, but I guess not anymore, Senator Golden Retriever. I'm sorry, I assume that it's a Golden Retriever, Holden.

Isn't that interesting? But, you know, it's kind of fun because there's almost no other celebrity gossip going on right now, except for things like titles of 40. celebrity costumes that change the world or whatever this guy. Oh yeah, for 40 celebrities who stole the show for Halloween 2020, nobody stole the show for Halloween 2020. I'm going to say Lil Nas X stole the motherfucking show. Except for Lil Nas X. Lil Nas X did good.

It is hard to steal a show and there is no show. There's no show. It's really what I mean because there's no show. I will say Jeff and I dressed up as Wario and Waluigi for the Haunt Your House last pot. podcast network stream that we did on a Halloween, and that was a lot of fun. And maybe we brought it into the bedroom. They're not brothers.

It's okay. We're allowed to do those things. They're just men that met in a tennis court that hate Mario and Luigi, apparently. Wait a minute. Are Mario and Luigi are brothers, but Wario and Waluigi are not brothers. Waluigi. Correct. And I didn't know this, but I had to ask because when we first, I needed to know,

know, before we dressed up as them. Because if we're brothers, even if we're evil, we probably shouldn't be kissing on each other all night, you know, if we really want to be the character. But no, they just, apparently, I'm so glad, because Jeff explained this to me, but then Jake from Wizard and the Bruiser really brought it home when he's like, no, they were just two separate men that played tennis together in some sort of Mario tennis world. And they were like, essentially just like, oh, you hate Mario? Well, I hate Luigi.

And now, then they just are Wario and Walloigi. And it's just so funny, too, that I just love the whole, just add a Wa to the full name Luigi as some kind of, you know, and it makes no sense, like, Wario is just Mario with the M flipped upside down, right? So it's upside down, like, bizarro Mario. Makes sense. But the rules of the naming device of Walloigi just make me love the character even more because it's so absurdly lazy.

Like, I think you could have called him, like, Waliji, right? Put the W in and put the L where the... Because I get it, you don't want to call him Wauigi, right? That's just like a dumb, annoying word, right? But just stapling a wa... No, Ouigi is fine. Wooigi?

Woeiji, yeah, even that, honestly, but again, it's like you would flip the L upside down in some... Well, that's what his hat is. And actually, that's why I think I like the Waluigi hat better, because his hat is the L upside down on the hat. and it kind of makes me think of like an upside down cross, which I think Hardy B's Medusa costume is also pretty lit up. Yeah. The Medusa costume.

Oh, yes. Dog. Oh, and Tawn. Sorry, I'm just looking at this now. I love, by the way, just like these types of articles where it's just picture after picture of people and their fun Halloween costumes. Like, unfortunately, I wasn't like this on Reddit this year, but I love in Reddit usually. It's a lot of just, you know, on Halloween, it's just a ton of awesome costume pictures. And when people nail it, it's so fun.

Honestly, it was pretty great that he did a pretty, pretty good job. Tony Hawk dressed up as Larry David for Halloween and him on the skateboard. Awesome. And he's doing, I don't know, what is that called? A tin pan fly? What does that call? He's just in the air. He's just airborne.

I mean, maybe he's doing an Ollie. I mean, he's not flipping the, like if he flipped the board under his feet in the air, that would be an Ollie. Oh, okay. Well, I don't think it's an Ollie, but I did. over here. I've just a Tony Hawk pro skater video game player. I love those games.

Yeah, that's how I know Ali too because of the PlayStation 1 Tony Hawk game from the mid to late 90s. Which of the Bruiser is an interesting podcast where we talk about different things. And we covered the Tony Hawk series and honestly,

the impact that video game had on skateboarding is like huge because yeah, and music. And music. Like all of those fucking ska bands. and stuff to like, man, just massive. So anyways, I don't know. I get really nerdy about Tony Hawk.

I like it, Jackie. Tony Hawk's, like, daddy celebrity vibes are incredibly charming because he's just like an old, cute guy who skateboards, but like all the young people who skateboard now don't know who he is, but they know who Tony Hawk is, but they don't recognize him. So he's always posting about how, like, you know, he'll be at the skateboard, at the skate park, and he'll be like, you know, hear kids talking about Tony Hawk

and then he'll be like, I'm Tony Hawk and they'll be like no you're not and he's like he has a very fun he's like an old guy who embrace he's not that old obviously but he's like it just totally embraces being like an old guy who nobody cares about except that he's Tony Hawk so everybody does care about him. Yeah he's great

but that's why the picture is so great because it really does look like Larry David is on a skateboard up in the air because I did a double take I'm like what the hell is Larry David doing can you imagine him just like with the pussy hair stuck in the back of his throat trying to get on the skateboard. Did you guys watch all of Curbier enthusiasm?

I was obsessed with Curbier enthusiasm. I don't think I haven't seen all of it. But I mean, it's definitely a thing I quite appreciate whenever I remember it exists. And I'm like, oh yeah, why am I watching this? It's so good. It's so good. It's just so good. But also, I will say Janelle Monet as Chucky in the good guys outfit also really great.

But the next picture, Jackie, was what I was going to bring up. Oh, are you talking about the powder puff girl? Yeah, I saw that in all their social media. At first I was like, why are they standing so close to each other? But then I realized it's because they're all probably on the set together. And so they're all sharing droplets with each other anyway. And so they're all quarantined together. They can have their cute Powerpuff girls.

And, you know, I just can't help but love them. At first I had an automatic scorn reaction for some reason. No, they're perfect. They're great. These are not people you would have probably enjoyed hanging out. Like this, I changed this picture was like, these girls are in your high school.

Yes. How do you feel, like, will you want to try to, will you invite them to your party or not? Like you'd be like, no. Yes,

I think that's right. I think there's something about, my relationship with loving Lily Reinhardt has been such a journey because at first I was like, she's basic. And I asked Gideon like, whether he liked Betty or Veronica better. And he said Betty and then I was like,

you know, jealous of her. And I was like, she's so, basic, but then like gradually over the course of many, many, many hours spent watching Riverdale, I just realized that I actually do think she's extremely awesome and hot. But then there's still that part of me that's like, I can't, she's, no, I don't want to love her. She's basic. She looks like somebody who would be not nice to me. But then it turns out that I

actually think that she is fantastic. And so is Cheryl. And so is Veronica. And I think them being the Powder Puff Girls is just ridiculously charming. I didn't want to be charmed by it, but I was. And it's uncomfortably how turned on it's making me, seeing as how those are actually like tiny little girls in the cartoon. Yes, but they are full-grown adults, and they do have like a fun version of the Powder Puff Girl outfits on. And also, see, I follow them on social media,

and it's the kind of thing that when, like, when Cole Spouse came out, he's dating some model in Toronto right now, and there's these pictures of them canoodling, and it was the same day that it dropped. And then on their Instagrams and their Insta stories, obviously the three of them that night got hammered. And they were just like putting up a bunch of Insta stories of them, like learning dances to music videos.

And like that kind of shit of just like girls being together with girls when like obviously they don't want to think about their ex-boyfriend fucking somebody else. And I love that shit. It really does. As someone that never really had too much. many girl girlfriends. Like I never had a posse of women that I hung out with. I always was desperately, desperately wanted it so badly of just like,

like you fall into the girl gang of like, help me survive, you know. Yeah, me too. And even as a dude, there's something special about that night where everybody, I remember when Henry showed up in tears in college, because we'll just call her evil A. We refer to her as evil, her name, but I don't want to call her out. But evil A dumped him and he showed up in tears.

And yeah, there's just something so special, more so about that night than any other where everybody gets together and it's like, no, we're going to sit here with you. And if you're going to cry, we're going to fucking let you cry. If we're just going to make you laugh. If that's what you need, we're going to listen to whatever. We're going to listen to sad songs.

You want to go out? You want a wingman? Yeah. be wingman. You want to get hammered? You don't want to get hammered. We will do whatever. Honestly, that's kind of what election night was for us, where we did like straight up, we did

tripping rules, which meant we weren't allowed to look at our phones. And we put on whatever dumb bullshit we wanted. We watched the John Wicks. And then we started watching again further into my descent into I Love a Mama's Boy. And I Love a Mama's Boy is the new DLC reality show. That is, if you want to watch something that will make you just so, I don't want to use the word disgusted, but it isn't, it's a next level of mom's voice. Everybody sitting around like, honey, how do you want to feel tonight? I want to feel absolutely disgusted.

Oh, if I got a show for you, page seven, I was listening to it the other day. Wait, tell me it. Tell me about it because this is kind of the genre of reality TV that I want to get more into. Like, I always wanted to watch that show. smothered about the mothers who like take baths with their adult children and stuff. Why didn't they call it smothered mothers, by the way? Smothered mothers. But the end is capitalized.

It's smothered. But it's an apostrophe hold and it's a pun. It's a smothered. Smothered. And the only reason, it is just like smothered, but I couldn't continue watching smothered because I knew one of the women on the show. And it was making me very uncomfortable. I remember that.

But in I Love a Mama's boy, it's the same kind of thing where it is just like, oh, it's about women that are dating. They are all, of course, you know, unfortunately, it's TLC. So it's all men dating women. And the women that have to deal with as well, these men that are obsessed with their mothers, like down to the fact that like the mom would go with them to like go lingerie shopping. And then openly, one of the mothers is just openly like, you're not good enough for my son. I don't know why he's with you. I'm the only woman in his life saying these. things to her in front of him and he does nothing. So it is, and so we were so busy screaming at the

television about how it's not even the fact that I wasn't even so much against the men with the relationships with their mothers like that is that it's ladies, look at your situation and get more confidence in yourself to leave this since you hate it so much. Some, I think, people would dig being in that kind of relationship, that you are not the number one person in someone's life. That is, I feel like it does, I will say one of the relationships I do, I, it seems like the man might have feelings for men and is lying about it and is in a relationship with a woman. And that makes complete sense to me because it keeps her at arm's length. And it's not something that they really ever have to deal with because if you're living with

your mother, it's like, can we really fuck? No, mom's in the next room. No, mom comes in all the time. Like, that kind of shit, I understand. Yikes. Also, I will say, you would think these women, too, at the same time to go back to them, that maybe it's a situation like their face was, like, horribly mangled in an acid attack or something like that, and this is kind of the only option for them, but it's not true.

These look, like, very well-adjusted. They're all beautiful. They are beautiful. Women. It's like, what are you doing? No, this is like, I've started reading the, uh, only when they're like retweeted, but the like, am I the asshole things, you know, or like the relationship things. And it is abundantly clear that women are conditioned, you know, socially, culturally to think

that, um, you know, they deserve, uh, whatever garbage a man will put at them, uh, sometimes, you know, and be like, I guess this is just how men are. there was the one I read recently was about a guy who thinks that if you eat enough fiber, your shits are so clean that you don't need to wipe your butt. And this woman was like, I'm kind of not that sexually attracted to anybody more, but he seems to think that it's totally fine. So I guess just, is this a weird thing or is this just me? Everyone was like, can women have a single standard, you know, like, but it's like, I don't want to, you're allowed, you're allowed to have the standard. I don't want to blame the women, you know, because I think that they're all,

she's obviously just mixed up in her head and this guy was telling her that she was weird for using toilet paper. So I don't want to blame the women. I think that that's obviously, but I think that the having standards thing is tough because, you know, you're conditioned to think that, you know, if a man pays attention to you, that's what is most important or whatever. And so then if he wants to share a bedroom with his mother, then you're like, well, I guess is this, is this okay?

I guess it's fine. See, you know what I do when I make in the toilet is that you don't, If I haven't had enough fiber for the day, then I have to punish myself. Wait until I cry so much that the tears go all the way down my body and run off through my ass crack to clean it out. And that is what a woman should do. Use your angels tears and get in there and wipe, wipe, wipe that hole out the way God intended us to. But wait, not to do a segue when I'm not the Segway queen, but. Please, Segway.

Can we talk about Heidi Klum's video? Because it's got a couple of things we love and a couple of things that you're on page seven we've been a little bit cranky about lately. One, it has Heidi Kloom, which we love. It has Halloween, Heidi Kloom, which we love even more. It's like our two favorite things here. I love.

It is super fun. It is an amazing video. She put out this little movie, like five and a half minute movie that she did with her kids. she couldn't do the party this year. So she instead, so she put all of, you know, she's been amping up this thing, which I didn't really realize what it was going to be,

that she obviously had still been crafting her costume and crafting a Halloween because she loves Halloween. So she and her kids put out a five-minute video. You can look it up on Heidi Klum's social media. It is so fun. I also think it's really cool that you could look at what she does for the Halloween parties is like, look at me, you know, whatever, me, me, me, did she made it like,

all about her kids and made it so cool and fun and inclusive and really her part of it was almost downplayed into like she it was super cool like the way they made her blend in with the wall and stuff but it was really put their costumes front and center which i think it was another just really cool move as like a mother and uh going through quarantine and also just uh like once every now and again we get a celebrity doing like a fun thing in quarantine and it's not just the most obnoxious bullshit ever right right it's not totally selfish yeah this was super fun. It was like, it was, so fun. Like, it looked like for the kids. Self-aware, tongue-in-cheek. Yeah, tongue-and-chee. It looked really fun for the kids. However, it just involved a lot of

poop jokes and toilet paper jokes. And I, and fart, do you really bad or what? Yeah, the bad sausage. And I know that we have a split here at page seven about how we feel about poop and fart jokes. And so I did want to talk to Jackie about it because, of course, our love for Heidi Klum and her incredible aesthetic sense of like how to do an amazing costume that was like translated to this incredible video was I was like is is how how is our editorial stance on poop jokes going to factor in here because it is definitely a poop joke centric um uh that you know it is it is built on some poop jokes and I for one I'm down with a poop joke and a fart joke I know y'all love it I don't.

But the thing is, again, depends on the time and the place. I was just bringing up the idea that like... Well, hopefully they're wearing to pens if they're going to... Yeah. Oh, that's fair. I think that it is great when it is a really hot supermodel making shit jokes. Either that, like, I think that that is a lot of fun.

I think that it also plays up how chill she is when it comes to making jokes about herself. which makes me like her even more. And I was just brought up the other day, like Parks and Rec, when Jerry has his fart attack, when he's having a heart attack, and he keeps farting while he's having a heart attack, and they call it a fart attack,

and everyone is laughing so hard while it's happening. I laughed my ass off during that. Like, there are certain times when it's worth it, like this. It's when it's lazy. Exactly. Sometimes lazy, but, like, you wouldn't expect Heidi Klum to make a bunch of shit jokes about herself

in a short film and that's what makes it cool as fuck. Yeah, I totally agree. That's her M.O. right too is I think we've already been on this train with her because every Halloween she makes herself look fucking terrifying and disgusting.

And it's never like, she never shows up as some like, you know, sexy fill in the blank. It's always like she's so down to just get mangled and just horrific looking. Yeah, she's so devoted. Right. And yeah, it's always about the greater like story

being told by the costume, it's never about her looking hot, which is so satisfying. Right. And that was why I think the poop jokes worked because it wasn't about her being hot. It was about this service. Even though it was, you know, with the last few weeks, we've been angry about the corny quarantine toilet paper ornaments and stuff. And so this was indeed a toilet paper joke. This is how you do it right.

Exactly. It was like, yes, that's how you do it. You have so much toilet paper left over so you use the toilet paper and then she creates these like super awesome looking like terrifying mummies with the toilet paper. And yeah, I was like, at first I was like, toilet paper joke, but then it ended up being so satisfying. So delightful. Please check it out.

Look up Heidi Kloom. It's under hashtag Heidi Halloween 2020 because there were, it is fun to watch the amount of people that there were still ways to have fun. And you know what? What I do love about human beings is that we do have an ability to get you. to change that they're like even just looking at the beginning of all of this bullshit and seeing where we are now and how adaptable we can be. And it's cool to see it.

I hope it's always like it. I'll never leave the house again. I'll never leave that. I know that this is, you know, what the Mimi's say, but there are times when I'm watching movies that I'm like, why are they all together? They shouldn't be so close together. Which I definitely felt in looking at the, uh, the Kardashian birthday party. over the... Why? Why?

Again, guys, don't show it to a bunch of people about you having a bunch of celebrities jammed into a spot together. I think it was better to show that to people than to show this fucking creepy-ass hologram. Oh, my God, the hologram! Oh, my God. We didn't get to talk about it last week because it came out last Wednesday. Yes, that's right. It was just... The most, most, most genius.

The best part we have to talk about is just... the extended time that they use this hologram of her, you know, no longer living father, Robert Kardashian, aka the lawyer for O.J. To just sing along, like, not sing along, but just kind of like silently dance along. Weird hand dancing he does. And I'm like, I really hope that's a trait that is specific to him that they like remember and not just some bizarre choice. Because that would definitely throw me out of it.

Yeah. Yes. And we are referring to that. the hologram that Kanye bought for Kim Kardashian for her birthday that is of her father. And then he also at one point says, you married the most, most, most, most genius in the world, Kanye West. But I even wrote it and I laughed to myself and I wrote it in the email to you guys. Who wants your dead father to come to the birthday part?

I don't want Dead Daddy at the birthday. Dead Daddy, like, sure, I guess if I'm alone and you can look at it and weep silently, but I don't want Dead Daddy at my birthday party. I definitely wouldn't have said, like, you married the best husband in the world, Holden McNeely. But I would probably maybe just take a thing he actually wrote down or old footage of him saying something nice and just adapt that to him actually saying it because then that's like something he actually said, not just putting really like egotistical words in his mouth. Yeah.

You know, it's so beyond crazy to me and so weird that Kim wasn't like, I really love this, honey, but just like, don't tell anybody about this. Right. Yeah, and also right, because we know, like Kanye obviously wrote what Robert Kardashian, the ghost of Robert Kardashian said. And he made it to be most, yeah, about Kanye. and then that weird little silent dance-along part, which was definitely my favorite.

And then he says, you know, you're amazing, you're a good mother to your children. All of that's nice. Like, it would be, I can imagine it would be nice to have an artificial image of, you know, someone who you miss telling you, like, that the things you're doing now are nice. But, right, like, given that we know that Kim Kardashian

knows that Kanye is, like, really not in a good place right now, like, I feel like she could have been like, thank you for the weird thought behind this. Like this was sweet. But right, like, let's just keep this under wraps and not share with the world that you gave me a hologram of Robert Kardashian. It's just so loaded.

I know that that's her dad, but just to be like, here's Robert Kardashian back again, you know. And listen to him, listen to the, I like to shake his hand. And it's just him dancing and kind of singing along. I don't understand how holograms work. I will be the first one to say that. I don't know.

So does that mean someone puts mocap on them and does this exact thing and then they put his likeness over that? Not sure. It could definitely just be completely rendered by a computer engineer. Because there's also like AI like generate it.

Like there, I've seen like tributes to people who have passed like families make them like do an AI like video game version like like a like a digital rendering of them then do like saying something so I don't know to what extent this is that or it is something else but I do feel like it is going it's veering into the into the into the spooky because it's one thing to have like a right a tribute to you know, remembering somebody, but it's another thing to be like, I'm Kanye West and I want this dead person to say that I'm a genius, you know?

Like, it's, that's rough. I just, I feel like the second, like, my dad came out of a box at my 50th birthday and then he's like, uh, Jackie, I don't know, he's your mother. Like, I feel like you do exactly what he does when he answers the phone and just immediately gives the phone to my mother. And I guess I'd be like, thanks, Dad. Go back into your coffin now. I love you.

I just, I mean, I guess good for her. She seemed to openly enjoy it. Mm-hmm. So maybe that is. In a closer view of it, she said it meant so much to her and her sisters. You know, just different strokes for different folks. Different strokes for different rich folks. I like this one tweet.

I did something, I'm looking at the comments. It did something similar for my friend's birthday, though. I didn't have money for a hologram. So I just dug up his dad's corpse instead. There's dad. Look at Daddy go. Yeah, we even, we dressed them up like a little garden goose, too. Doesn't he like to wear his little rain hat?

Speaking of garden geese, I was very close to buying my own garden goose over this week. And then I started looking at all the, and then on Etsy you can buy little clothes for them and I had probably about $200 worth of geese clothes in my Etsy cart and I was like Jackie, you can't do this right now. Don't buy a goose. Don't put your feelings into a goose. Isn't that what we always say? I will say Jackie, some people are getting into the Thanksgiving spirit. I almost took a picture of this. I was walking by a building earlier today and had a big inflatable turkey and a big sign on its belly that says, someone won a piece of me?

And I thought about you. Oh, thank you. That's like a turkey hologram of a dead turkey. It is just like a turkey. See, this is where I started the article out to you guys this week, because you know what? It really is. We've got Halloween things to discuss,

and then immediately jumping into Christmas one day, one day, I will be the empress of Thanksgiving, and then Mariah Carey and I can join. forces and take over the holidays together. Where is my Thanksgiving? I will yell about it every year. You need, okay, I went to the store, right? Let's just, let's walk it back here, okay?

Walk it back now, y'all. Real quick side note for our streaming purposes, they will be doing a digital Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It will be a streaming only no crowds, weird thing. I don't know what the fuck it's going to be here. Don't worry, Jackie. We get to wake up at me at 9 a.m. and you at 6 a.m.

on Thanksgiving again this year. So we will be doing a live stream on Thanksgiving morning. We're going ahead and go ahead and say it right now. That we will be getting drunk on Thanksgiving morning. And I will start at 6 o'clock in the morning. But to take it back to what you're saying, what we need, you go into the store around Halloween, right? I went to the dollar store.

There are spiders webs. There are witches hats. There are signs that say wicked. There was, you know, all this kind of stuff, right? Pumpkins, right? There's all these things associated with the holiday. that you can put on your wall. Christmas, same thing.

You've got Santa Claus, you've got the elf on the shelf, you've got the stockings, you've got the tinsel. We don't get that with Thanksgiving. It's just this food stuff. And yeah, I could put a sticker of a ham on my window.

But is that really acceptable? And so I think if you want to be Queen of Halloween, you got to start thinking about what do I add? Empress of Thanksgiving, thank you very much. Empress, hold on.

If you want to become... Empress of Thanksgiving. Empress of Thanksgiving, which I will say, say it's a bit verbose, it's a bit mouthy of a phrase. It's my title. She's a bit mouthy. Yeah. Yeah, I'll put my mouth on anything. That's what makes you the Empress of Thanksgiving. What do we do with this holiday decoration wise? Because I actually have this problem right now because for the first time ever, I'm like, I have to decorate my apartment for each holiday or I'm going to

get depressed. But all I have is like a cornucopia. It's like the only thing I can think of. I have Thanksgiving decorations. So I'm actually in the opposite problem because I last year or two years ago was like, I have children, it's time to decorate for every holiday. And I got like, you know, you get a little felt thing that hangs on the wall that has a turkey. It's a little wall hangy. And you got a little like a door hanger that's like a little springy turkey. And I was so excited. I went ham at Party City. I got a bunch of Thanksgiving decorations. No, you went Turkey at Party City. I wear a turkey at Purdy City. But my problem is that they're all so fun that my two-year-old found them and has been playing with them all year. And so the Springy Turkey is now just one of her toys. And so now I feel like I have too many Thanksgiving decorations. They've been normalized.

You know, they're no longer, like the Springy Turkey, I can't put that up now and say that's the Thanksgiving theme because that's just been with us now for two years, like, every day. It's so funny to think we say that because as a kid, I would argue the opposite for my experience. when it was like, oh, now we have to do this weird month where we dress like boring-ass pilgrims or fun-ass Native Americans, but still like a shitty caricature. And you know what I mean?

And like it was always kind of like, you know, oh, here, this maze means corn. Yeah. That reminds me of the baby corn joke I just wrote earlier. So for Classy Night In, I write only so this is, I'm sorry, explaining this is a bit of a slog. I decided that I only write jokes about baby corn and that someday I would like to produce an entire hour of me only giving baby corn jokes because I've been eating a lot more baby corn.

And so for Classy Night In, which is the show I do with Ed Larson and Henry Zabrowski, my brother, on the last podcast network every other Wednesday night. I only write baby corn jokes. And I wrote, why why did the pilgrim ask

oh the pilgrim asked God you're good at this the pilgrim well I didn't actually write it down I was just thinking about it the pilgrim asked the baby corn why are you crying and the baby corn said because you killed my ancestors

for your own amazement I think they killed them for their land they're all for the maze I need to get maize in there You need to get the remains in there for Thanksgiving. I was trying to do theme jokes. Doing a pun joke about genocide is a tough reach, but I think you did it.

Right. You think you got there. I will say, too, Jackie, you want to go viral? Sure. Baby corn do, do, do, do, do, baby corn, do, do. You want to go viral? Oh, my God. And then at the end of it, it's me killing myself.

Yeah. I have to step in here. There she goes. And point out that although men. Mays is the thing about Thanksgiving. Baby corn is not, but you're just inserting this. This is a part of your life that you've been working on outside of Thanksgiving. Yeah, because one of my, yes, one of my Halloween ones was,

hope my baby corn doesn't become a vampire because then she could star in from husk till dawn. I like that. You get that? Do you get it? Molly? I don't know if you get it, Molly. I think that's a movie. I think that was more offensive than the other one.

Hey, hey, I got a kernel of wisdom for you. If you've got a butterface, put it on some baby corn. No, okay, so that's not even, there's not even. It's got. I like you're putting stuff out there. The intent is what I appreciate that. You're trying to give people a little joy, which I like. Have you really been eating more baby corn?

Like you're legit buying cans of baby corn and putting it in stuff? I have so many cans of baby corn. When Jeff and I were trying for a while doing, it was really dumb. I think there was, you know, when we all hit the middle part of quarantine and we're like, I'm going to try new diets? I think I screamed about it on here. And I thought that my life was going to be over. And in my head, baby corn was actually, since it is preserved in salt, which I probably should not have been eating it,

but I would just eat it out of the can because I couldn't put spices or anything else on anything that I was eating. so it tasted really salty to me. So now I've grown accustomed to eating baby corn out of a can. Wow. You're the only person I've ever met who eats baby corn out of a can. I have a friend who eats hearts of palm out the can regularly. Delicious. They're delicious out of the can.

I love baby corn. I put baby corn in almost everything. I think that baby corn is a rude vegetable and not technically any corn. So isn't that fun? Is it fun? This whole segment made me so sad. Now I'm sad. Why are you sad?

Because it's just the jokes that sort of kind of, I'm going to say we're a bit of a whiffer and then talking about eating food out of a can. I just feel like depressed a little bit. Nah. Yeah, well, I love baby corn. I really love baby corn. I love that their teeth are so tiny that their gnashing barely makes my nipples bleed. Good God. Oh, man.

Your joke structures really are a roller coaster. That is brutal. Thank you. You wait. Sometimes it's a... You wait until I have an hour. Sometimes it's a really predictable play on words. And other times it's just a joke about nipple gnashing that has no...

Yeah, just... You didn't see it coming at all. Now I'm scared and sad. That one came from because I do a lot of... I pretend like the garden, everything that grows in my garden are my babies. And so sometimes I'll come in holding the peppers like they're a baby. And I'll say, Jeff, look, the babies awake. And it really scares him.

And he's like, please stop calling the peppers, the babies. And then I'm like, she won't take my... Nipple. Incredible. He only technically loves me more after all of this. And that is saying something about our relationship. Were you guys hoping I was going to get into my baby corn jokes at some point? I had no idea.

Today was the day. I thought I knew you pretty well. I didn't know that you were working on this project. Yep. This is a solo project because no one gets my vision. And someday everyone's going to see. And we're like, remember when we scoff? at her baby corn jokes.

Remember when we thought that she couldn't do it? Well, I'm the little bitch that could. Okay, here's the other thing. Santa Claus, the King of Christmas. Halloween, you've got Elvira. You've got, you know, all these different landmark people and Halloween that are in a very interesting, fun costumes. Impress of Thanksgiving, what even,

what are we looking at when we're looking at the Empress of Thanksgiving? What does she dawn in our presence? I think I need a scepter. But that, I mean, I also had a scepter for my hot dog ambassadorship. So I feel like I need to incorporate. Yeah, that's your brand. That's your brand. That's your brand.

It could be a scepter that's also a wishbone. Ooh, edible. Or in some way you can eat stuff off it or you can feed people. It's a big spoon. A drumstick. No. A drumstick. That or at the end, it's got a pepper grinder.

So I can turn upside down and grind it like what the olive garden. Yeah, that's a good idea. Although pepper is not a particularly Thanksgiving-specific food. It could be like a jar of sage, but pepper grinder. Gravy. Gravy. Gravy. Yes, a gravy boat.

I just have to not spill. Don't spill the gravy. That's the thing. And every time I spill the gravy, I have to give out three wishes. Yes. And every time I spill the gravy, you get three wishes. No matter who sees me, spill the gravy. And I don't know if I can take care of the wishes.

but I'll get some sort of, I don't know, I feel like I need like turkey bites, like the cenobites, but made out of turkeys. That's great. They attack the children or whatever. That's the other thing. You've got the Easter bunny. Something for the kids. We need to do something that gets the kids.

I mean, Molly, I'm just going to say Molly's kids a bit of an outlier in terms of being excited about Thanksgiving, like, toys, right? But like, what is it for the, to make the children? By the way, I learned about this. Spoiler alert. coming pop history on Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, but one of the hilarious things reasons why they're about to bring up the ragamuffin grade. I can't with that shit.

You guys, that's what the kids used to do though. So that's why Thanksgiving has zero besides maybe arguably the parade, zero things for kids in it. It's really more of an adult holiday in a lot of ways or just a family affair. But it used to be that little bratty kids would dress up like essentially like home. people and walk around and what would they say? What did they say?

It's like, like, Thanksgiving for me. Yeah, anything for Thanksgiving or something like that and like make people give them pennies and shit. And like they, and apparently everyone like hated this, this fucking holiday. These kids dressed it up like they're homeless. Wow. This has been so funny reading through the Basie's Day parade history. Sorry, this is weeks in advance. Like we, you're not going to get that episode for weeks, but it's very ridiculous.

It's hilarious. Making kids dress up like they're homeless and go and ask it. Anything for Thanksgiving. Anything for Thanksgiving. And if you look up pictures of it, there is definitely pictures of little ragamuffins on live. Really? But so funny. And especially because they just did Halloween. And this is the same thing, but more annoying and like on Thanksgiving. Wow. Yeah, but you know, they got to dress. You got it. You're right. They need an activity besides tracing their hands and calling it a turkey. and thinking of things they're thankful for. Egg hunts. You know, I mean, Christmas literally just give them a bunch of presents, but we can't do that, right?

And Halloween, they get candy. It's all about the candy. What do we do for Thanksgiving besides dress them up like pilgrims and Native Americans, which is honestly like, I feel like, I don't even know if anyone people do that. Yeah, that's, I think that's going to go the way of. No, we don't condone dressing up like pilgrims or indigenous peoples here at page 7. I would say that it would be awesome.

to have some sort of outfit, though, like some sort of turkey hat. I definitely have a turkey hat I wear when I'm cooking. But I think isn't the gift the fact that your parents can get drunk in the beginning of the day? And then technically your kids can do almost whatever because they're in the middle of doing 20 other things. But actually, you brought up manhunt Holden. And I think that would be a lot of fun because you have to think of a reason. Not manhunt. Oh, do you say manhunt?

I want manhunt. You know when like nighttime hide. and seek to get them out of the house. A hide and seek game would be cool. I think since it's centered around food, I could see a fun little like eating contest, but that that can always have its own bad consequences. Did you guys do,

so I brought this up when we were, when I was watching all of the leprechauns last month, did you guys leave shoes outside for St. Patrick's Day? No. And if you didn't leave the shoes out because leprechauns in the lore are cobblers and they fix shoes. So if you didn't leave shoes outside, they would come in and give you tricks instead.

Or if you left your shoes outside, they would put candy in them. Are you talking about St. Nicholas Day? St. Nicholas Day, you put out your shoes and they get like a little, a dollar or something. But no, I've never heard of putting your shoes out for St. Patrick's Day. I brought this up, and everybody looked at me, by everybody, I mean my roommates and my partner,

looked at me like I was. a fucking crazy person. And I was like, I swear that we used to put shoes out for St. Patrick's Day. Called my mother, she says I'm a liar. I was like, I, and then Henry did remember that

we put out shoes. I was like, we put out shoes. This is like a Mandela effect within your own family. Maybe you and Henry both have a false memory or your mom is gaslighting you. I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm on the Wikipedia and I'm looking up

on St. Patrick's Day on Wikipedia, and I literally just did the find and typed in shoe, and nothing came up. Nothing came up, but they are known couples. Not only is there not a, like, full segment of the article about it, there's literally no mention of shoes. And I'm in a family where we always do things, like St. Patrick's Day is, like, observed in my family.

Like, we, when I was a kid, I'd always wake up to, like, a special St. Patrick's Day item of clothing, a card. Like, it was, like, observed, and we never did the shoes. But again, maybe this is a regionalism? I don't know. It could be a regionalism, but what I'm saying is I think that we need to do something with basters and gravy. I like, so, all right, if I am the Empress of Thanksgiving, then I'm the one that is doling out the gravy. And we have to do something to please you in order to accomplish the gravy.

Then I guess I need more gravy. What about like, yeah, I'm trying to go withholding in terms of the Easter egg hunt. There could be like in Passover, you know, you hide the Afi Coleman and then you have to find it. There could be some kind of scavenger hunt. This is what I mean, because you want to get the kids out of the house so that you can keep cooking. Right. So what is the idea? Hide the wishbone.

Yeah, hide the wishbone. Yeah. I think that like football is, you know, associated with Thanksgiving. But what if you have a fatty family like my family, no fucking way, would we ever go out? Can you imagine my family going outside? I'm like, what do we do? I'm just going to sit on the grass. Can I sit on the grass instead?

Right. Yeah, and we don't want to force all the children of the nation to play football. No, I'm going to circle back. I'm going to come up with more ideas. And you will hear from the Empress of Thanksgiving about this. Fantastic. Thank you for that. Can I do this celebrity conspiracy play?

Tell me your conspiracy theory, naive. All right. Okay, first of all, I'm just going to go ahead and say thank you to everyone who has written in to the page 7 email for just general love as well as the celebrity conspiracies and blind items. Oh, I'm also going to throw out there real quick. And thank you so much for Janelle for sending us. Her brother was in this special dessert episode of Guy's Grocery Games.

And I watched the fuck out of it because I love guys grocery games. And thank you so much for sharing that with us. And also, real quick, Molly earlier, when you brought up that you need a new reality show, it was Alex Alexander. And yes, I don't mean to docks you, but your name is. fucking awesome. Alex Alexander told us all of the reasons of why we should get

into Big Brother. I was also told by someone else that we should start with Season 5. So Molly, do you want to go on this journey with me through the holidays? Start season 5 of Big Brother? Season 5 Big Brother. Because,

dude, read the email because they completely sold me on the fact of, like, you're watching people that are locked in a house, trying to manipulate each other into winning money, but then they make them do these very difficult challenges to keep advancing in the game. So sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, Holden. But I think that as an entity, we need to start watching Big Brother. Okay. I will look into it. I will at least figure out where I can watch it.

Okay. Celebrity. Conspiracy. Celebrity. So, by the way, page the number seven seven podcast at giva.com, paste of a podcast gvill.com. Also, I just want to say this. So many people have written in that just know, if you're not hearing yours today, you very well may hear yours in a future episode. We now have a ton of meat on this boat.

And I won't look at them. I don't look at them. I only look at the other ones. And I'm going to just put it out there real quick that I think we might need a song. So we don't have to brainstorm that now. But Jackie, you and me maybe can think of what we're going to sing to Holden

when he says it's time for a celebrity conspiracy corner. I mean, celebrity conspiracy kind of rhymes, so you already got something. Kind of. Celebrity conspiracy theory, I don't believe him. There you go.

Is that too aggressive? Do you believe him? Oh, okay, I like that. Do you believe him? So Holden can say, it's time for celebrity conspiracy theory, and then Jackie and I can say, do you believe him?

You believe him? I like that. I like that. And you guys get to hear our brainstorming session today on the Empress of Thanksgiving as well as coming up with songs. Again, we're just trying to not think about the reality. Bit of a fake tank happening right now. Bit of a thing tank. I love it.

I feel like I'm on fire. We are spitballing. I'm going to work together. Hell yeah. Yes, we do. See what sticks. Throw that spigets against that wall. See if it sticks.

Spaghetti. All right, here we go. this one comes in from my boy Kyle, aka MD Leo Spaceman on Twitch. He runs the post-Jackon-Ease on Friday nights as well as other fun stuff on there. Go check them out. I love you, MD-Lio Spaceman.

He's the best. We love him, and thank you so much, Kyle, for this. Put a lot of work into this one, okay? And this is centered around. Dave Thomas of Wendy's, this is the theory, has secretly been pushing his Square Burger selling agenda for decades

through our radio waves. Dave Thomas used his grand, son Rob Thomas's music to include subliminal messaging to sell more Wendy's. All right. Let's go down the rabbit hole. I hope you're ready. A little known fact is Rob Thomas, or Rob Thomas, a Matchbox 20 fame is actually the grandson of Wendy's founder's Dave Thomas.

In a highly secret series of events, David actually paid for Rob to take music lessons with the intention of eventually weaponizing his grandson. Dave hired multiple experienced musicians to create the band known as Matchbox 20. Matchbox 20. Yes, yes. Matchbox 20 is a code name. In 1972, Wendy's aired its first TV commercials,

which Dave considered to be the, quote, Matchbox. I remember it's 3 a.m. I'm eating burgers. Yeah, I remember. He referred to that as his matchbox that would set off the franchise's popularity. Can you guess what band was formed

20 years later? 20 years in the making? This is a conspiracy theory. Many of Matchbox 20s, popular hits have subliminal messaging from Wendy's when reversed and slowed. This happens a lot. We've seen this a lot on here. I included, this is from Kyle, I included the first example of such phenomena in the attached MP3 file. And you can hear this. And I definitely I'll send you guys the email, but just trust me on this. It's real. So, so, in the hit song

3am, Rob Thomas can be heard singing. I want to eat some of my Wendy's. Mm-hmm. incidentally or not the year 3 a.m. was released and Wendy's search of popularity opening their 5,000th Wendy's restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. I want a Wendy's burger. Yes, I will.

Yes, I'll. Remember that song too. Since dwindling in popularity in recent years, we've seen the number of Wendy's franchises. I've noticed this slow significantly. A lot less Wendy's out there. Since Matchbox, 20, right? Unlike the great Wendy's boom during matchbox 20's height, they were everywhere.

Wendy's was, if you weren't eating Wendy's, you weren't, it was like, what planet did you? Are you? Oh, are you a plutonian? You're definitely a Wendy's Stan. If there's one thing I know about you, you love Wendy's. I'm, I'm most full, mostly, if I'm on a road trip, I'm a Burger King boy, but I love a good Wendy's. He loves it. It's dangerous. You look, don't you still love, I remember being on a road trip with you, I must have been 18 years old. And did, don't you love the chicken sandwich at Wendy's? No, it was this. You made me go to Arby's, and I was so disgusted by Arby. Like, you guys kept making me go to Arby's.

We love Arby's. And you'd be like, get the extra wet meat sandwich with the extra fat meat. And I was like, okay, I guess I'll get it. My father Arby's gift certificates for his birthday thing. I buy Arby's and Outback every year for his birthday. Oh, I love Outback. I love Outback. But either way, they would.

And I'd watch them gleefully suck this like liquid meat down and I was wanting to throw up. So the next time we went, I got the chicken sandwich. We don't eat at Arby's anymore. I promise you we don't. Henry and I don't eat at Arby's anymore. My dad still loves it. It was so bad. I was like, how is this?

Anyways. Sorry. No, in high school, I used to eat the fuck out of Arby's before I went vegan. And then I went vegan and I was like, oh, I can't anymore. But I used to love a bacon, chicken bacon and Swiss from Arby's. Yes, please. Oh, and when they put the wet cheese on the wet meat. Oh, I hate that onion roll and it's all slipping around.

Well, either way, back to this conspiracy. Since Dwindle League unpopulared in recent years, we see, oh, I've already read that. Although not what they once were to this day, you can still see a surge in Wendy's sales in cities where Matchbox 20 is touring. And there is a photo, an undactored photo of Rob Thomas as a child with Dave Thomas. And the most damning evidence is probably from Wendy's themselves. Twitter user at Brian W. Shepard put the pieces together in Alden Wendy's for their subliminal patty indoctrination. the official Wendy's Twitter account simply read, give me your fries, make it real, or else forget about it.

Oh, wow. So, yeah. The person I Twitter wrote, didn't realize Rob Thomas founded at Wendy's what an enterprising young man he must have been in his youth. And that's where Wendy's replied. It's a bit damning. I just also opened up Rob Thomas on his Wikipedia.

And apparently during an acid trip, Rob Thomas was playing with dry ice, and he was burned so badly that doctors initially thought that they would require amputation. But that's a whole other side. That's a sidebar that I needed to share. Because he apparently also cried and asked, how am I going to get these songs in my head out if I can't play them?

So Jackie and Molly, I posed the question to you. Did Dave Thomas of Whitney's secretly push his Square Burger selling agenda for decades through our radio waves? Dave Thomas using his grandson. on Rob Thomas's music to include subliminal messaging to sell more Wendy's during the great Wendy's boom. Makes absolute sense of why, I mean, and I loved Matchbox 20, but I know that they were in everybody's bag.

And if you were, you must have signed a pact with the devil to make a song like smooth with Santana, with the Santana. So I'm going to guess, I'm going to go ahead and say yes. if Uncle Dave was the Antichrist. I think that that's really where it all comes down to. And it is some kind of special magic going on there. Yeah, 100% I agree. I also associate.

100% I agree. I do, to be honest, associate the time of Matchbox 20 with Wendy's. But I think that's because I was a sixth grader. when 3 a.m. They were everywhere. Was, you know, was on TRL and the VH1 top 10, which I've established on the show, that was my top 10 that I watched, the VH1 top 10 countdown, not TRL. And it was the late 90s, and it was a good time for Wendy's. And, yeah, that guy is up to something, both Rob and Dave.

So I absolutely 100% believe this one. In cahoots. In cahoots. We believe him. Wow, amazing. Thank you so much, guys. Thank you again, Kyle. All right.

I don't know. I think it might be time for something, but I have no idea what it could possibly be. It is time for the little. Who's on the list? Jenny, got to have that list. The weirdest details about famous movie props. Ooh.

Did you guys know that the chocolate pudding cans and stranger things, were actually Vienna sausages. Oh, my word. Prop master. Yeah, you have heard everything, Holden. No, no, I stopped halfway because I was like, maybe I haven't heard everything. Whoa, oh my God.

Is this the week that I finally get you to say that maybe you haven't heard everything? Maybe. Prop master Linda Reese said the canned meat used to recreate the retro hunt snack packs smelled so nasty that the child actors would gag when they had to open them, which I imagine that they would, and I don't think that they would gag

if they were opening up chocolate pudding. But did you also know, which this is kind of fun, that in a racerhead, you guys have seen a razor head, right? I actually, it's that one movie that I've always meant to see, but I can never put myself in the mood, knowing what the experience is most likely going to be. I completely understand we almost watched the Irishman last night. And I completely understand where you're coming from.

I know that the Irishman is good. It's just one of those where I'm just like, well, I think I'd almost rather watch casino. I know they're not the same movie. Sorry, that is a whole other sidebar. I like the Irishman more than casino. This is how you do these types of movies. Just be like, let's throw it on for an hour and then go do something else. And come back to me.

I know it's a good movie. I'm not against it being a good movie. It's usually difficult for me unless it's like a mid-somer. for me to jump into a three-hour-long movie. So I'm immediately like, I've got other things to do. Meanwhile, cut to how many episodes of I Love a Mama's Boy I watched last night, but that's a totally different story. So in Eraser Head, there is this, it's the sound in Eraser Head that always gets me.

There's a baby in it. And it just goes, ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, and it's supposed to make you upset. But apparently, David Lynch has never. revealed how exactly he made the grotesque baby prop in a racerhead. One journalist asked David if the baby, quote unquote, was a calf fetus or battery operated. He refused to answer. His daughter is one of the few to know, but she remains mum. Sorry, I guess that kind of gives stuff away, but not really.

It's a baby, but it's not a baby. Just throwing that out there. In Lynch world, there's no giving things away. Like, what do you mean? No. You know what I mean? That's why you understand. That's why it's more like with the baby, in quotes.

Like, obviously, an ain't your regular baby. Yeah. It's an experience. Like, there's no spoilers, in my opinion, when it comes to the work of David Lynch. Like, spoiler, it's fucking crazy. It's insane. I would say, though, this is the week. If you're going to go down a weird David Lynch hole, this is the week to fucking do it.

This is a fun one. Hugh Jackman kept stabbing other actors and himself. with his own Wolverine Clause. So apparently the filming of the X-Men trilogy needed to use actual metal claws for some of the scenes, and accidents happen. One of the accidents involved a stunt double, who, fortunately, responded gleefully

and actually relished being stabbed by Wolverine. Jackman also has scars on his thigh where he stabbed himself with the claws. I can only imagine. You got those things on you. They've got to be heavy. They're attached to your hands. You're going to hurt yourself at some point.

Right? I was just going to see how long that pregnant adds L. Silence could go. I was like, wait, wait, actually, let's ride this out. I just didn't know how to add. I think, yeah, I mean, poor huge action. Thank you for the commentary, darling. Yeah, I mean.

Absolutely. Whoa. That's a big claws. Big claws. Big claws. That's just some. Big claws. This ain't no baby corn claws.

No, they ain't no baby corn claws. Those are full-grown mommy claws. Mama tomato claws. Yeah, I don't know. I just have nothing for that one. This is a thing. You think it's easy writing baby corn jokes. It's not.

Spoiler alert, it's not easy writing baby corn jokes that nobody cares about, all right? It's difficult in my brain. And also, the wood chipper used in, Fargo is now a tourist attraction. Isn't that crazy? It even appears on Fargo's official tourism website. And get this. It has its own Facebook page.

Hey, Jackie, this guy walked up to this other guy and he said, hey, what's that on your chest? And he said, oh, this pouch holding a bunch of baby corn, it's my baby Keorn. Oh, that's really good. Good. I'm going to write down baby, baby corn. It also makes you think of the baby corn, baby corn. Baby corn do, ditty, Molly, come out, see a long. I know you love this one.

Baby corn, and she's back at her day job, ladies and gentlemen. She's back. Hey, did you guys do, all right, baby corn is so tiny. How tiny is it? Tiny is it. Thank you. It's so tiny. You look at it twice because you think, hey, is that a big corn?

When, in fact, it's a baby corn. Wait, no. Again, your joke structure is just such a roller coaster. I don't know if I'm to expect a play on words. Or a bad child or, yeah, we don't know what we're going to get. A road to nowhere. I keep you on your toes. See, this is why I never understand when my manager sends me late night packets, right?

packets to send out. I'm like, you don't want my jokes. This is how I write jokes. I write jokes in the way I write my Instagram captions. But oh my God, did you know the horse head and the godfather was real? Wow. Yes, the decapitated head came from a slaughterhouse that made dog food from horses. Very upsetting. That is extremely upsetting. I actually did know about that. I will say, I'm glad there are better standards and practices, but I do kind of miss the old reckless Hollywood where it was like, set him on fire. I don't care. You know what I would need to shot.

Put a bag of dead shipmugs. Get it yesterday. What do we care? No, it makes me think of inscruged when he's like, I don't know, staple him when he wants to staple the antlers to the baby mouse. He can't staple the antlers to a baby mouse. They flamethrower guitar that do forer plays in Mad Max Fury Road, which is sick of shit.

That is one of the. movies. Same with watching John Wick again. I will watch Mad Max Fury Road at any time. If it is off or 7 o'clock of the morning, I'm like, put it on. I want it on. I always want it on. And I'm not even, there's just certain action movies

I really truly feel that way about. But the guitar that he was playing was made from bedpans. Apparently director George Miller explained everything had to be found objects repurposed in the post-apocalyptic world. And that

That's a fun little tidbit. Also, I thought you were going to say that it was just that it was real. Like, it was a real flamethrower. It wasn't it? I'm pretty sure that was a real flamethrower. That was attached to the end of it, but I think of the actual guitar itself, like the body of the guitar. But just the fact that, like, so much of that crazy-looking movie was practical shit is so cool. Insane.

And that's why it's so good. That actually is a legit fun fact. Oh, that goes, it goes on a short list. And it's weird this Scorsese gets two of these, but Goodfellas, Mad Max Frewy Road, and like The Departed. And I'm sure there's a couple more. They're like long movies that I can just, I'll blink in the rover and I can watch them whenever.

I, a thousand, hundred percent. What was the last one that you said? Departed. I forget. Oh, The Departed. And I don't give a fuck about Mark Wahlberg, but I love The Departed. He's so funny in that movie.

He's so good at it. Sorry, sidebar, but also not sidebar back to the list. after the Wizard of Oz's iconic ruby slippers were stolen, a $1 million reward was offered for their return. The reward was never claimed. The story ended in September 2018 when the FBI recovered Dorothy's slippers in a sting operation.

This is all that is the information on this and I don't know anything else about this, but I'm very curious. I'm going to assume it was stolen by somebody on the set and sold and that down the line it's just kind of one of those things but like what kind of sting operation what was being like what were the FBI going into and who owned it I'm very now I'm very curious very cool and I hope you are too because that is the end of the list for the day wow another big wow is I'm losing my sight all of a sudden which is super weird

I'm very different from normal. I think I'm going. Blind. Items. Oh, we can't see them. So I've got a couple bangers here for you. Two strong ones. Let's start here with the first one.

It's one of love. And then we'll do one of hate, won't we? Whoa, we always do. Balance. Balance it. And the I didn't see this one coming category. This massive one-hit wonder singer, who recently came out is hooking up with this A-list,

mostly movie actress slash sometime director, well over twice her age. I wonder how they even met. One-hit wonder, I'm gonna say internet one-hit wonder too, like even more of a one-hit wonder than even most one-hit wonders. Like kind of a goofy one-hit wonder.

One-hit wonder because it was bad. It's like the room of songs. The room of us. But in my brain, I go down to like chocolate rain It's like a one-hit blunder. It's after chocolate rain, but it's definitely in that same category. I'm pretty sure they've appeared

in the same viral video together since then because they became synonymous with like weird internet bullshit. And it was after chocolate rain, but how much after chocolate rain? Pretty well after, young. Rebecca Black's Friday. Yes.

Yes. Rebecca Platt. Okay. The crazier part is who they're also referring to. Now, this is an actual, I usually avoid these because I like definitive ones, but this is in either or situation. So who is really famous, who is kind of known for being at least by or lesbian. Angelina Jolie. Is one of them. The other one, also sometimes

a director, super talented, a little bit, kind of goes back, I think a little bit further than Angelina Jolie. I think a little bit older than Angelina Jolie. Hasn't like fully come out, but like clearly still is like... But is a director or an actress? Director sometimes, but first known for being an actor. Jody Foster. Yes. No. Oh, yeah.

But what the fuck? Rebecca Black's dating either. One of those is crazy. I'd watch the tape. I will watch it. I will definitely 100% watch it. So on a recent episode of a podcast called Dating Straight,

she spoke about a breakup she just had with a woman. Rebecca Black did. And went on to say, I made a conscious decision to not like come out. People started asking and I stopped not responding. I'm still in the process.

it feels like. And also in terms of how she identifies, she said, to me, the word queer feels really nice. I have dated a lot of different types of people, and I just don't really know what the future holds. Some days, I feel a little more on the gay side than others. But congrats, Rebecca Black, and I'm happy for you. I mean, back in my day, I just said, I like dating people. And that is what I always just used to say. Right, right. So I completely understand. But also Rebecca Black grew up. I immediately just looked at a picture of her. I'm like, wow. Yeah. She's looking great, and she's feeling great and I'm all for her banging out on either Jody or Angelina.

That's how. Yes. Oh, I'll watch it. Also, though, there was that one time you dated that squid, Jackie, so that wasn't even true. Yeah, man. And I say, oh, I can, if I can fold it in there, I'd like to keep it. I guess that's what I say. I remember that one time you finally revised, you were like, I only date people and sometimes a squid. Well, it depends on how. the otherworldly animal is.

Thank you very much. If an octopus asked me to the movies, I would say yes. Octopus, octopi are incredible, so don't turn them down. Yeah, dog. Yeah, no, never. You can actually also say octopuses as well. People try to shoot that down, but that's actually also an acceptable plural term for octopi. All right, here we go.

Thank you, Holden. Thanks, Holden. it all. That was based off of a Facebook post and I actually had to look into it because somebody was like, I love octopuses. And yes, you can say octopus.

They were like really pissed off about it. It was so funny. I went and looked at it. I was like, wow, you actually can't say octopuses. You can't say octopuses. Either way, this next fucking story is fucking fast. A fucking native.

I bet it is. One of the problems you face when you are this A-list singer and get a writing credit but never actually wrote anything. is that you can't answer a court filing saying you never heard of someone and therefore could not have ripped off

or, I don't know, stolen their song. The person who actually did write this song knows the person suing very, very well. You're not talking J-Lo and Mariah Carey, right? No, who the fuck sucks and is a thief? Ariada Grande. Yeah, Oriotta Grande.

Well, honestly, her album is actually pretty good. Her album is actually pretty great. Thank you very much. The fact that according to court documents and the victim in this situation is not myself this time. This time. This time. You got to be souping him. And I won't stop them. All right.

According to court documents obtained by the blast, Ariana is asking a New York judge to dismiss the case brought by a songwriter named Josh Stone. In his lawsuit, Josh said Ariana's seven rings ripped off his 2017 track. You need it. I got it. which was released two years. Bad name for a song though. Right, but she says that in the song, which was released two years before Ariana's seven rings.

And her response, Ariana denies lifting from the man's work and once the lawsuit dismissed. The songwriter said before Ariana released her song, he had a bunch of meetings with music executives. Josh claims to have had a meeting with Universal Music where he showed them the material. Josh says he also met with a man named Tommy Brown

who has worked with Ariana on her past five albums. He claims Tommy told him he really liked the track He said he never heard back, and then he heard Ariana's seven rings. He filed the suit for all profits made off her song and an injunction prohibiting her from continuing to sell the stolen, thieved music. And am I crazy? He will be souped. He will be souped. Has the entire planet gone mad.

Yes, it has. Of course it has. Indeed, this is only one mere important, but only one symptom of the planet going mad. Yes. Very important. I've said my piece. I cannot believe that was the very first blind item staring me in the fucking face. The second I pulled them up this week.

I was floored. What a nightmare. I set my hair on fire. I bruised my breasts. You know, we're all having a hard week. And, you know, this is perhaps the hardest part. It's about injustice. And what do we do?

Can we live in a world where there's some semblance of justice? It's life. And that's it. You know? And I'll do the Atticus Finch court speech if you fucking need to hear it. Please.

Yeah, man. I'll be your boo-radley. You want me to be your boo-radley. I'll be the boo-radd. I, it's what a week, guys. What a week of thievery? What a week of injustice? but also a week of smiling and loving each other

because we have to. That's true. Because we have to. And thank you so much for joining us on this week of page seven. Yeah, I can see again. And I hope that it got your mind off some stuff for a little bit.

Yes, we are talking about the live stream of me watching Twilight for the first time. And I guess Holden will also be seeing it for the first time. But he's not as much fun because I've been reading the books.

Well, this is the perfect thing, right? It's, I have neither read nor the books nor seen the movies. You read the book but haven't seen the movie. And Natalie is like super fan, read the book, seen the movie stuff, right? It's the perfect mix-em-up of fandom, I think, a good trickle-bound fandom.
