There's been going down a hole this week. I say he's got to go. Oh, no, Godzilla. There goes Tokyo. Go go, go, Godz. I have been listening to, well, I mean, it's the beginning of spring. It's time for Blue Easter Colt as well as Godzilla. We saw Godzilla versus Kong.

I also watched Shin Godzilla last night. I am in the mode for a big green lizard. And I'm not talking about Holden McNeil. one of our co-hosts, welcome to page. I can't believe we're talking about Shin Godzilla on this particular program. I love this movie. It is directed by the guy

that made probably my favorite anime series of all time Neoninus is Evangelion. It is just... Is this a crazy thing to say that it kind of makes me want to watch Evangelion now? I mean, hell yeah, it does. It should. It's because it really...

And honestly, it's very similar. Like, it's very much... deconstructing popular Japanese forms, right? And in Shin Godzilla's case, it's the whole, obviously, Gojira, the whole Godzilla mythos, and in Neon Genesis Evangelian, it's like Gundam essentially. Dude, MJ, it's like Dr. Strangelove meets Godzilla. Wow. It's like a bureaucratic comedy centered around Godzilla.

Wow. And that stuff is so fun. And then all the Godzilla stuff is really well done as well. Like, he evolves. It's so. The final shot is like one of the coolest endings, I think, to a movie ever. And it's just this one still shot that just makes you go like, holy shit. What the fuck?

When is it from? Like what era? 2016? Yeah. It's like a newer Godzilla film. Please everyone check it out. Shin Godzilla. If Godzilla versus Kong gave you Godzilla fever, or is it Kong versus Godzilla, I can never get a right.

But either way, if it gave you Godzilla fever. I think it's GVK. And it's crazy because I, it's crazy because. Jeff wanted us to watch it because he was saying that there's a lot of people in the internet that didn't like Godzilla versus Kong that, but like the people that love certain versions of Godzilla, it makes sense. Because Godzilla versus Kong is straight up just a popcorn movie. It is just, yeah, and an American popcorn movie for sure. And that is the interesting, sticky thing with Godzilla because Godzilla was a Japanese creation based on the atrocities that we committed. against Japan with the bombings of Hiroshima.

It is a representation of the nuclear monster. I didn't know that. That's so fascinating. Fully based on that. It like comes from the sea. It sort of comes, yeah, it comes out. And that's why it has that like crazy,

like that's like a radiation beam. It's shooting out of its mouth. Wow. I had no idea. That's why it's so fun because in Shin Godzilla, it also brings in the Americans. All of it is tongue in cheek. All of it is.

just it's hung in cheek and making fun of like also the the Japanese government and all of that kind of stuff of like the bureaucracy of getting anything done so it's all making these jokes of like oh no Godzilla's attacking what are we going to do let's get up and have another meeting and like that it's very fast let's slow this down with more debate you know let's like completely ruin this by sitting around talking about it instead of like taking any action meanwhile he's just destroy the city as it's great I I can't believe that now we're going down a slippery slope over here of Godzilla. I never thought that I would.

I can't believe how much now I am invested. And I want to, and almost all of them are on HBO Max. I swear this is not a commercial. I don't get paid by HBO Max. But they're all on HBO Max because Godzilla versus Kong is on HBO Max. This is smart. This is, I am in a, I am in a, I shouldn't call it a war, but it's like a, I'll call it a feud or a project.

It's an ongoing conversation with my husband about, and I know I've mentioned it before, about getting rid of cable because it's, because he's being the Godzilla in this. I think he needs to let go. I blame Generation X. I think that it is a generational thing. I think he's like, I need cable so that I can watch my shows

that are on HBO. and you know and sometimes we watch things on live TV like it's you know back before the COVID times we would have people over to watch all the things that were ever on live TV because we were the only ones with cable and we watch the Grammys and that you know we don't like and then I used to watch like I used to love just turning on TV and seeing whatever was on TV that was like my simplest joy oh sure like I don't seek something out I like look for whatever is on like that is to be as much more relaxing than choosing something to stream and that's my biggest mental block. I have major streaming choice anxiety slash paralysis. Like I

I hear that. I'd way rather just turn on the TV and fall asleep to forensic files. But like knowing that like with HBO Max you can like get everything and with Disney Plus you can get everything and with whatever the fuck other life. Also all of the ID stuff is on Discovery Plus. Right. Right. Yeah. Discovery Plus seems like it has all the things that. that's where I'll be the Discovery Plus one because I need me. Oh yeah. And Jojo and my foods.

I will say if you're gonna, so I've made the full switch. We don't have cable and I have not looked back. And I really don't care. It is a nice little treat when I go to a hotel to channel surf. Like totally I get it. But I think that the way you have to do, you have to kind of basically know what you're going to be trying to watch

before you go into the menu. The big mistake is definitely just like, I'm free falling and what free falling You're just like scrolling through the video With that song flight you're just like I don't know what did you You can't do that You're like should I watch

Should I watch a glorious bastards right now Like am I about to watch like an epic war film right now Or am I about to watch a reality show Like you have to kind of basically Yeah right You have to make a plan before you go in And you're like I'm gonna probably watch This this or this

And then sort of and then like maybe dabble Maybe like think you might watch something else But you would up I will say though you might watch it. You might watch it. That ended up with me watching the live action. That ended up with me watching the live action Aladdened drunkenly on Saturday after we got back from a pool hang.

I just went full free flow and slightly disappointed by it. But either way, shock, everyone shocked. At the beginning of the pandemic, when it was when we still had the very full house situation, we made like a list, a piece of paper with a list of all the things we had been like. like, meaning to watch, you know, and then that was good because it just kind of like gave us a reference. But I'm thinking, if I make this leap, maybe what I should do is, like, the best advice that a friend ever gave me about trying to, like, read books more.

She was like, you know, don't just have, like, one book, always have a fiction book and always have a nonfiction book. That's the way my dad did it. Yes. I've given up on having a nonfiction book. I've just jenisoned reading nonfiction ever. I think what you should have is always, and this goes for TV too, you should have, like, a good fiction book.

and a trash fiction. Yeah, that's a good idea. Because I used to just like, somebody would give me like a very good nonfiction book and I would be like, great, thank you. And then I'd just be like, well, I guess I'll never read again because I don't really feel like reading this for fun. Right.

I read a page of this and now apparently I'm just locked into this for the rest of my life, even though I could just put it down and pick something else out. Yeah, I tried to read the American people's, what was it, the people's history of the United States? I was like, I'm definitely the kind of guy that's read this book. and then I just couldn't get through.

Couldn't get through. And I get that. There's so many of those books that I have that I'm like, I am. I do need to read it and they just collect all of the dust. I get how history is interesting and I just love hearing bro dudes scream about how interesting history is. It's always great. You're one of a kind bro dude who screams about it.

But I can't get into it to save my fucking life. I get it. It would probably make me a better creator if I knew more. about history even. It would probably, you know what I mean? But I just can't, I can't do it. Well, my way of doing it now is like, I'm watching the fucking crown. And I'm like, I've never, ever wanted to learn about the British monarchy.

I really want to watch the crown. Zero shit. So now every night, I'm like, this is all the pictures I could find of Prince Philip when he was young, you know, like it really gets me. Oh my God. Well, of course, mama me. Have you, where are you in the crown? We haven't talked about this.

Season two. We're up to season two. We gotta get on it. That's what we need. I've been looking for something new. That's what I need. It's great. Yes, but then you'll have to start talking like this.

You will have to start talking like this. It will be very difficult for you because you'll be attracted to her, but you'll also want to punch her at the same time. It's just a few of you. You're so good at it. You're so good at it. Yeah, have you done 23 and me, MJ? Do you know, you seem like you would be,

maybe come from a little bit of fancy Britain. Are you calling me British royalty? I would say you I would say fancy British In fact, I'm the opposite I'm Irish and so my people hate the British. Now was there a rake in your family

Lydia? Do you know if any womanizing rakes from your Irish? Don't even bring up the rake now that we know that we can't have him much longer. Yeah, I know from my I did not continue on with Bridgeton

but I saw that everyone was so upset about the rake. And they made such a cute little announcement. It was in the form of the little gossip newsletter. The lady whistledown. Yes, Lady Whist. I read that article in her voice, by the way. In Lady Whistledown's voice.

The article you said about how Regie, well, I'm going to say everything wrong. Renee, Reggie, Rajah. Either way, he's like, get it. Either way, the Duke is a rake. That's the only thing anybody probably knows about the show if they've talked to me about it. So yes, it is sad.

I burn for you. I know. I thought about you. Yeah, no, I burned for you is much more intense. How are they going to bring the show back? Isn't the Rake kind of like the breakout star? It's based on a series of romance books that actually, Jackie, I wonder if you would move on to that after Twilight even.

It's based on a series of books based around this family. but he's not, is he, I don't even think he's in the second book at all. It's reggae. I was not listening to you. I was straight up, looking up, I've been meaning to look up the pronunciation and I keep forgetting. You know what? There's no time like the fucking present. It's reggae.

Just remember. So every time you think of the name, just be like, we jammin, we jamming, it's reggae. Reggae Jean. Reggae Jean. I didn't listen to the whole thing. It's reggae John. There you go. Reggae John.

Well, do you think, I don't know, I was going to, well, I was saying, Jackie. I was like... Two, four, six, all re! That's John Valjean for all my laymissers out there! I'm wondering if you would Doth protest to moving on to the Bridgerton series of books. I forget what they're called offhand after you're done with Twilight, because, yeah, I believe the second book he is not even in it at all or very minimally in it.

The second book is about Anthony Bridgerton, the one whose butt we get to see a lot. in the first season. He's kind of a rake himself. He's like an ex-rake. Yeah, he's a little rakey. Yeah, he's got a good butt. Yeah, he's a little rakey, but then he's got his honey

that you won't make a ringed honey because he can't. He's no to do you. And that's a little shrecky, I guess, but, so it's supposed to be all about him, and Reggae John was not supposed to, he only had one year contract. So when I first saw Lady Whistledown

talking about, oh, he's not going to be back for a second season. I was like, oh, that sucks, but it makes sense because every season is about every book in the series. But in reality, he was only signed on for one year, and when they asked, okay, you're the breakout star

from this, because they didn't know, he said, okay, I'll do it, but I want a lot more fucking money. Which, fair, he's now a breakout star. Netflix said no. And so now he's really not going to be coming back or any episodes.

I wonder if in the future, if they make more money, that they would be willing to coerce him back. But I think it depends on how his career is going honestly. That's a, I wonder how, I just wonder as an actor, how that feels to be like, this is my price. And Netflix is like, no. And you're like, no, okay. I'll see you later then.

I mean, to do like one scene or something that might be a hard sell for them, But also, I think maybe the move here, well, it's hard because I'd have to know what happens in future books. If he has a prominent part in a future book, I think maybe it's like, okay, fine, that we'll also kind of deny the rake or deny the people, the quench, the thirst in need of quenching that would be giving them the rake. And hold him back from us and then be like, here's your rake, like in a year or so. And then everybody's just like, oh, everyone's just like, I thought about. Yeah, like, you know, they do. Did you see that the episode with the I thought about you, MJ? No, the Bridgetton?

Yeah. No, no, I didn't make it past the first one because. You gotta keep going. The first one is what, it's kind of whatever. I watched it alone. Yeah, I watched it alone, but then I had to set, my show that I watch alone now is on Solved Mysteries, which I was a hater on at first, you're on this very show, and now I'm obsessed.

this show. Hell yeah. It's great. But, yeah, I know everyone says that Bridgeton, you got to stick, you got to stick with it to, like, I think you guys said episode four or five, right? Uh-huh. Yeah, that's when it really well. Yeah, I mean, definitely if you want to get to I thought about you, then definitely.

But it gets naughty, I think more so starting in even just Ept 2, it starts to be like, oh, wait, how naughty is this show? And then by EPP five, you're like, this show's the naughtiest. It's naughty. I am totally not allowed to talk about this, but a friend of mine is writing on another naughty show that is going to come out on Netflix soon. And I am just excited that Netflix

is seems to be leaning in on Nottie Town and I will watch it. Fantastic. I want to watch all the naughty. It's like they're listening. They can feel my loins. I burn for flicks. And I ain't talking bean flicks.

Everyone's horny right now. everyone's either been alone for a year or like with the same person not seeing anyone else for a year not like if you're in a monogamous relationship you would have been sleeping with other people but just the excitement of going to parties with your significant other seeing them in a different room than your house you know everyone i think could use having a reason to get dressed up at all for anything looking different anything that's different about that differentiates one day from the next you know, like I think people are really, really horny right now. It's insane.

I feel that I'm throbbing for fun. I'm so ready to be released that I just like I feel like I'm just one big vein. That I'm just like, bopo, bum, as I stare at like the picture of a margarita. And I just go, and I'm getting a little bit gruntier. and I'm excited about it. I'm scared of the release. Yeah. Yeah, well, Holden called it first

that the streets will run with cum, and I think if he was right. White with gum, yes. It will flow. It will flow like the spice and dune. It will flow. Don't you, this is not. It must flow, Jackie.

Your brother's making it flow, so it has to flow, even in this show. Ew, it sounds like he's pissing all over you. I don't. He is metaphorically and literally he is missing all over me. It's also good that Netflix is getting hornier because a lot of people aren't going to be ready to go out and have the real life horniness yet, you know? Yeah.

And so you got to like, you know, have like a virtual solitary horniness option as well. I couldn't imagine being in my 20s for this. No. No. So crazy. I don't know. I do not know what I would have done. I definitely would have dressed up like an old woman and went to a Vax place.

I would have done that. First of all, I'd be like, oh, I desperately need this vaccine. You know what I mean? It's like, uh, uh, Ethel, it says Ethel here. Ethel, do you have a boner right now? Uh-huh. Apologies, but. That's just my pet snake that lives in my dress.

Lives in my moo-hoo. I just stick her and get her out of here. Sorry, I'm just, all right, fine, just let me level with you. I need sex. I have to have it. It's got to have it. yesterday. I need to get back so that I can continue to swipe right on my phone. So please, please do that. Yes. And you know who didn't swipe right on a corporate buyout?

Good segue. That would be, how is that for a man? I haven't had a shit transition in a minute. That was horrible. I don't even want to listen to what I have to say. I just shut down. It's Kanye. They said it. I got, I was very, you know what? that was a joke. I got got. On April Fool's Day, it was released that Kanye West purchased Spotify. And I was like, I, excuse me, that's very bad for us, I think.

Yeah, exactly. Like, to pull the curtain back a little bit, if, yeah, Kanye, very god-fearing, a lot of the left, very not god-fearing. And so it was just like, I literally saw the headline. I was like, that's probably just one of those headlines that, like, isn't, you know,

it's not what it seems. I'm actually just going to ignore it completely because I'm very stressed out right now and I'll just hope, you know, I'll hear about it from Henry if it's real, right? Can you imagine Henry calling being like, so Kanye bought Spotify? And we're all out of a job.

And we're fucked. And the first thing he's doing is shutting down what he called that devil podcast network. He's deciding to not just stop it from being on Spotify, but he actually called all the presidents of the world and it's not going on anything. He's like, it seems that he found, you know, two shows part of the same network.

One is about kind of devil stuff and the other is like mostly making fun of him. So they decided to really shut it down. Yeah, he's definitely not into page seven. Yeah, I thank God that was not a joke. That was a joke. It was an April Fool's joke because we had April Fool's last week.

I mean, honestly, at this point, my brain is mush. like, oh, okay, yeah, no, oh, is it another thing that happens out there? There should be no April Fool's in a pandemic. They should have canceled April Fool's. Can't. There should have been like a fucking government edict being like, don't, it's illegal to make a joke on April Fools.

It was kind of that way last year. It was, that's maybe one of the only good things to come from pandemic is that, like, April Fool's got canceled for a little bit. It's like, enough. Give it a rest. Maybe we can come back at another year and surprise anyone. Yeah. But you know what is extra legal this?

year, that would be April Reels Day, everybody. Yes, April Reels Day, April 19th, we must start to prepare. April Reel's Day is upon Stas and I am scared. I have already

been, like I don't know what to do. Do you have your hold? Let me ask you this, Jackie. Do you have your reels yet? No, I don't. I don't. I don't. It's like Christmas shopping. It's like Christmas shopping. That's a good sign. I need a couple of weeks. You know, It sneaks up on you. You think at the beginning of December, I got plenty of time.

No. I'm actually going to say I'm glad that neither of us have our reels yet. I think that that is a promising sign. I think if we both had them locked and loaded, is going to go down. And so I'm glad it's the side. Now, MJ, there's been a lot of questions of whether or not you're going to join us this year in April Reels. But the question is that I actually don't know even possibly what I would say to you that.

I'm sure I could dig a couple up if I had a gun to my head. I don't know if I'm going to join either. I think that a big thing that has me holding back is that April Reels is very strategically timed to be the day before 420, obviously. Yes. Smoke to forget. To smoke the Reels away, yes.

Smoke the rails away. Smoke the rails away. However, despite the wonderful legislative victory here in New York that marijuana is now legal. I, just because of the circumstances of my life, cannot necessarily participate in 420 the way that others may be able to.

And so I mean, I'm not so. I think when I was pregnant, I was like, I'm not doing April World's Day sober. That's just impossible. Of course not. And now it's not like I have to be sober all the time, but I do have to kind of, you know, I don't have the, the,

The parent of two tiny children. 420 for me is not what it was when I was in my 20s. And so that is my biggest hesitation. Yeah. I will say I don't have kids and 420 isn't what it used to be either. It's like, I don't have the time. It's a Tuesday. What am I?

I don't understand. I mean, I love to kind of throughout the day get high, but I don't understand the part where we all get together, like we're going to have some big throwdown and they get too high to talk. That is what it is. That's a straight-up point. Like, I- And I appreciate it.

Yeah, I enjoy it. You know, or other people, what they do is like they add other drugs. They like do Molly and mushrooms and stuff. And it's like, but then that's not the day. You know what I mean? That's doing other drugs. That's like, that's like not the day. Like, that's your cheating almost.

Like, what we're supposed to do is get so high. We are afraid to speak to our friends. Yes. And go home. It's true. Whenever there was like, there used to be like, you know, big social events around 420 and like shows, you know, like official, and I was like a show.

We did shows every year. A show. You want me to get on stage? Absolutely not. Yeah, exactly. Hey guys, everybody looks like my parents right now. I wanted to be a fireman when I grew up and then I don't know what's going on. Why is, yeah, I don't know, you know, it just, so I guess I'll eat like one

extra edible. You know what I mean? I think that's kind of where I'm at. Oh, bad girls club. Or we, you know what we do? We dial it the other way. Maybe we do. It's like, okay, you want us to smoke some weed? You want us to smoke some weed? And we do just like hit a new plane that we shouldn't be on anymore in our thirties. Or whatever. Maybe I'll do a dab. Maybe I'll get a dab rig.

I had a similar experience on St. Patrick's Day. Not like I ever was like doing the green beer bar crawls on St. Patrick's Day, but I always kind of wanted to because I am secretly a bit of a bro and, you know, I do, I feel like, I mean, white boy summer. Yeah. Yeah. There's a reason. Not so secretly anymore.

Exactly. Exactly. So I liked, while everyone else was like, every St. Patrick's Day in New York City, everyone would be like, fuck those guys. And I'd be like, I want to go drink with those idiots. That sounds like fun. And, you know, this St. Patrick's Day, obviously, it's a pandemic. You know, I've got work and.

parenting and stuff, not like I can start day drinking. But I was like, I want, like, you know, right, responsibilities and adulthood does kind of change your relationship to these, like, holidays based around consuming things all day. Silly times. Yeah. Yes. And for those of you that are not aware, if you are new to us this year,

April Reels Day is the day end of the year that Holden and I have decided to critiques that on other days would not be, easily taken, but in ways to better our professional relationship. And we have to, there is a consent process and friendship. There is that we ask and ask permission to give the reels. There is an entire ritual that we have created as a way to better our friendship and professional relationship. You have to offer the reel.

They have to accept the reel so that it's a consensual. You then hand them a plastic hand. hand and if the real is too real and our example that we always use is I hate your fucking wife right that's like too real it's not constructive that's not something that was ever said

that's always the example right like because it's like it's not very cool to say that it's like nothing that the person can fix like it's not really like a productive thing and it's also too far it's like too hurtful you know I remember Remember another example that I think I can't remember now if it was closer to what we're looking for or if it was too easy was like I hate the way you eat pizza.

Yeah, I think that you could say the way you eat is distracting when we're trying to like hang out or get work done. I could see that you turning that into a constructive reel, right? So it has to be, I guess I didn't remember how constructive. Also, I think I hate the way you eat pizza. Yeah, it doesn't work fundamentally. Because it's not very, I mean, that's just a lazy blow, you know, to the other person. But I'm just saying you could spin it in, hey, when we get together and you eat, you like make this smacking noise and it makes it, it's distracting. In fact, that's like a nice reel, in my opinion.

So like saying that, like somebody choose with their mouth open or something, like I guess. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. But what you guys are describing has more to do with like your ability. to work together, which I guess I didn't remember that element of it. That it's more... Or here's a great example of like a bad reel, like, you're sexually frozen. It's like a bad example.

That is not a bad real when I said that it was in a way for you to maybe start opening up your idea of what you could and maybe like in your sex life. See, this is the thing. I've got the tail. It did start a conversation. I will say that at some efforts. It started a conversation.

conversation, you're welcome. Also, I feel like listeners should know that, you know, we have had a lot of, like, you know, we're all former improvisers. We all know how to, like, yes, and things. And so we've had a lot of conversations on this show where we, like, create an idea, and then we all add to it and we spitball it. The Molly Zone is another idea. Like, we get good ideas.

We build them up. We great, you know, but what you guys did with April Real's Day is really something special because you manifested a joke conversation from this show. It created a movement. Full of like props, the hands, you can slap. You created all your rules. Well, yeah, I've got all my clapplers. Yeah.

You guys actually did the next step, which was take that from this space and bring it into your real life, your real friendship. And not only that, but made it a annual tradition. And it's really, I think, mind boggling that you have done it. In an admirable, it's just absolutely admirable. Thank you. And we live stream it because we want to inspire other people. do the same. We have had more and more people around the world committing to an April Reels. Maybe just start with one friend, talk to a friend. Maybe if you have like a couple

friends that are really into it, get together. Again, it just has to be consensual. Remember that it's consensual. And it should be, it should come from a place of love. It should always come from a place of love. This is not a take out the dirty trash day. This is a day people, there were tears last time. There were real, real special moments last time in a positive way. Yeah, so I think it's always like... And you can join us on this April Reels because, yes, we do it live on Twitch. Yes, it is, I'm going to go and say, uncomfortable to watch. But it is tactically a beautiful piece of communication cinema.

Yes. And again, the context here, I think for anybody who's trying to bring this into their own life, think of like, I mean, you and Holt, like, Jackie and Haldon have worked together. for 15 years. Like, they are, like, the amount of friendship and collaboration and trust between them is unparalleled, right? Oh, yeah. And I feel like-

It's an emotional trust exercise. Yes. Yeah. Don't do this with anybody that you wouldn't describe as, like, your very best friend, I think, because it is, it is, it is a risk. It is, this is not, people are not meant to communicate this way. Yes, yes. No, that's why I'm scared of doing it with family, because,

Henry has mentioned that he might join us. He said he would join us. I don't know if we can reels each other. Yeah, that might be scary. That'll be an interesting. It'll be a science experiment for sure. I definitely could reel Henry. I definitely feel like I have a real.

Well, you guys are besties. I can do that. I can write a list at this point. But yeah, yeah, for sure. I think I would love. But that's a nice thing. But first you're scared. There's always the series of emotions too.

You're scared. It's scary. Then it's like this beautiful feeling of release. And then it's like you feel like you've grown stronger together and you feel this amazing euphoria. And then you get so fucking high, dude, the next day. So high the next day. Yeah.

But I will say when I tried to explain this to my therapist, she was just like, why? Why are you? He's like, it's something that makes you nervous. I was like, I'm going outside of my comfort. So aren't you supposed to encourage me. Yeah, it's good. Therapist just like, I don't think I recommend it. That's hilarious.

That's hilarious. It's good. Yeah, you go outside your comfort zone. But again, it's the kind of stuff that is going to come up eventually, unless you just stop being friends with them. Like it's gonna come up. You're just kind of getting it out of the way in a safe space as opposed to in a volatile space.

It's a challenge to do, right, because I think we all have things that we've been like, maybe would have thought about saying to our friends and haven't. But there's also things like, Jackie, would you have told him that he was sexually frozen in the course of 10 years if there hadn't been April Real estate? I think that I have never,

I've definitely made jokes about it before, but I've never looked him because also it's about eye contact. Looked him in the eye and said, I, and I'm saying it in a way that is not to put you down. Could you have used a different example, M.J.? Were there a bit of a different example of a different reel? So we did have to bring the sexually frozen real back up. I only remember the first year, because I don't know what you guys did.

I don't remember what you guys did last year. I remember you told Jackie that she needed to quit smoking. Yes, and she fucking did. How cool is that? How cool is that? Did you tell your therapist that? Be like, well, I'll give me an example of how I fucking kicks ass.

This dude told me to fucking stop smoking in a very direct way that I could never have done casually with you. And said, you smell bad, you sound bad, you need to stop smoking. And I was like, oh, okay. Actually, the biggest one for me was people look up to you. That was my biggest one. I was like, people fucking look to you.

Like, you are, honestly, you are now actually, because of your follower count, you are technically now what they call a micro-influencer. You fucking literally, literally influence people to do stuff. Does that mean I'm losing weight? Ha ha, that's not. It doesn't mean I'm losing weight. You know, I know a little bit.

It's not. That's why I know. I'm gaining experience. And isn't that what everybody needs? But you should totally join us for April Reels Day on April 19th. And we'll put out the time as we get closer. Just terrified. Because I need to start working on it.

I got to think about it. I haven't thought about it. I honestly don't have, don't have it. I don't know what it is. Nope. No, and we will wait until the day of like we do every year because that's how our brains work. But that's why I wanted to start talking about it now.

I wanted to get it into our brains. And so if you would like to join us, you totally should. Or if you want to set it up with your group of friends or the people that you work with, it really does weirdly help. It does help. I think it helps. As long as you're not, oh, by the way,

don't go into it with someone. Like if you're in a fight with someone, Like you need to resolve that shit before going in. You know what I mean? Like this is what I tried to get across. This isn't like when two people are just like, fuck you, I'm glad April Reels Day is coming up soon because I'm mad at this person right now. Like that's not going to be a good April Reels Day.

But if you come into it being like, we get a lot great lately, what do we have to Reels about? And then, you know, you sit and think about it and then it becomes really cool. And it comes out there. Think about what you really want to say to someone. Yeah. Yes. And I know what Tandie Way Newton

really wanted to say to us, can you please? Oh my God, you guys have to read the Vogue interview with Dandewey Newton, who has finally come out to start talking about that she has 22 years ago dropped the W from her name. I am talking about Tandhiway Newton from Westworld from a million other, oh God, my brain is just spashing. Eastland. Mission Impossible 2. Is it possible to. And crash.

Crash. Into you. In the little boys' room. Oh, you're singing crash into me. That's the crash into me. She has nothing to do with Dave Matthews' dance. But she has everything to do with being a Zimbabwean princess and has now did this a beautiful interview with British Vogue

talking about taking back what's mine. And that it was something that was, she was told, had to be taken out of her name, as well as talking about a lot of instances in Hollywood where she was not only not black enough or too black, or how many times that she would have to deal with sexual harassment

and no one would listen to her. And it's just, I'm so, it's such a beautiful interview, though. And I really think that y'all should check it out if you're able to, again, it's in British vogue. And even just up top, like, because her mother is a Zimbabwean, princess, who fell in love with a lab technician from Cornwall, and I just love the opening of

this. It was like, they were driving along a bumpy road about to enjoy a sardine snack. When the sardine can was opened, the oils filled all over the woman's dress, and she laughed her head off. The man thought, I need to be with this woman. And there were rainbows criss-crossing the sky from the magic of the mist, and the sun above the crashing water on that trip. contained in this magic, a child was conceived. It was just a very, and they're talking about Tandy Way Newton, and it was just a very funny, cinematic way to enter into an amazing interview with her. I will say that if a trend of, you know, the kind of like times where we are in now of, like,

more acceptance and more visibility and stuff also, like, I've never really interrogated the idea of, like, stage names because it's just kind of like such a given. It's just such a normal thing you grew up with like, oh yeah, everybody else. Like all these famous actors had like really Jewish names and then they changed them. And like that's what I remember reading like lists like that when I was younger. And it's like, oh, that's kind of fun. They changed their name. And like when you think about it in this context, you're like, it's actually not fun.

Yeah, it's like removing their culture from who they are. Yeah, the stage name phenomenon is like one of those things I just kind of took for granted. And now upon thinking about it, I'm like, hmm. Maybe we should not pressure people to do that. Pressure people to assimilate when it's complete. I mean, even back, and I've said this before, when Henry was told that Zabrowski was too Polish and that he'd have to change it,

he was like, I don't even know what that means. That's ridiculous. No, I'm not going to be Henry Jones. Nobody wants a Polish actor. Like, there's not, it's not like there's any, like, bias against Polish people that I know of in this, like. I mean, they are, I will say, my dad knows every single Polish joke.

known to mankind and we definitely were raised with the, um, a lot of how dumb are Polish people. Yeah, right. I guess there's a history of, of, of bias against Polish people, but it's like, to be like Henry, you can't sound too Polish. It's like, it's not like there's currently a present stigma against being Polish that I know of, although maybe it's just, every, everybody is just supposed to have like a, I think it's more just having a punchy, poppy name, you know? Oh, yeah.

Like, it's just, yeah, it's just, yeah, it's just, yeah, it's just, yeah, it's just, kind of just that. It's like having that like, Pippo, you know, I'm Pippo Chunks. Hey, I do character comedy stuff, you know what I mean? Look at Pippo. That's my character name if I would have changed it. Pippo Chunks. Did you hear about the Polack who thought his wife was trying to kill him?

On her dressing table, he found a bottle of Polish remover. I do like that joke. I have a friend whose parents are Polish immigrants. That is a good one. He makes the Polish remover joke. That's what I like about the Polis, right? Polish kind of like enjoy their, you're so stupid jokes, right? I mean, there's not a lot of Polish people being like, like fighting back against the, you know, Polish people.

I mean, we were raised with it. I mean, my dad still thinks it's the funniest he would get the spray on deodorant. And, I mean, it's a visual joke because they had it, how does a Polack put on deodorant? And he would spray it in the air and then walk through it with his arms up. But he did it almost every day. So there was just deodorant all over the place. My mom was like, can you stop? saying the joke. It is not funny. You're getting deodorant everywhere and it's not getting

on your back. Which in itself is the funniest Polish joke is that in the name of doing a funny Polish joke, he's just like destroying his own house. And it is something that is really beloved in my household. But I think that the idea, I think that you are completely right though, MJ, I've just, I've never, I've never thought about it before. I've never thought about stage names before. And if it's of your own choosing, I guess have that. Yeah, like I have a difficult to pronounce last name, and I have sometimes wished I had an easier to pronounce last name for the sake of having to have other people say my name and telling people my name on the phone.

And like, so yeah, and that way, I get it. But right, I feel like it's the, like, when agents tell you, like, you'll never make it in this town unless it sounds more British, you know. Oh, my God, you sound just like a Cole Spouse's writing agent on Riverdale. But, yeah, we're going to make it to the top, kid. Yeah, I'm eating this hot dog. Yeah, you're going to write their next best sell or not. But also now I think it's flipping.

I think honestly it's just about trends because I think right now, because of people like Zendaya, like that's becoming a much, much more in thing to have anyways. Thing to do, use your actual name. Use your name. You know what's really in right now? Just being actually who you are from the very beginning. That's what's really in right now.

Not new thing. Not conforming to some weird. guy with a cigar hanging out of his mouth in an office. I do wish I could change. I mean, I guess I could change my name to Jackie Rockets, but I think I'd have to start moving much faster. I'm about to say something so embarrassing. But when I was like in fourth and fifth grade and I like really wanted to be a famous

person, like a famous movie star, I did a lot of like writing fiction. and I had like very briefly had an alter ego like where my famous like stage name was going to be. I can't believe I'm going to say this on the show that my famous stage name was Jackie Beautiful. Whoa! What if you had ever told me this? How is that a revelation? How many years has this podcast been running? I haven't said on that.

Jackie Beautiful. What was it again? I liked. Oh, my. God the puppet star, Jackie Beautiful. Come on out here. That's amazing. I loved the name Jackie because I, because it's about to get more embarrassing.

There was like a lot of famous like boy child stars that were named Jackie that I was really into, like Jackie Coogan, Jackie Cooper. And it was, you know, it was, you know, gender neutral. I knew it could be a girl's name or boy's name. And so I thought the name Jackie was really cool. and I knew that his stage name had to be like, I'm popping last name, so I chose Jackie Beautiful. I mean, Jackie Beautiful does it. I can see Jackie Beautiful's name in the light.

How many boas would you have? I feel like you would be covered in feathers at all times, covered in glitter at all times, because that's Jackie Beautiful. So you can use it if you want to. If anybody ever tells you you sound too Polish, you can take it, yeah. Well, I go by Jackie Beautiful now. And so deal with that, you bastards.

Amazing. Now I want to be, I don't even think I could ever live up to the name Jackie Beautiful because you're right. What a snap. It's like it is the hot dogs of nicknames. I love it. I mean, nobody else knew about this. It wasn't like it was my nickname. It was like my secret when I'm famous.

That'll be my stage name fantasy. That's insane. Did you work on your signature for Jackie Beautiful as well? I don't think that I took it that far. I think it was fairly short-lived, but it obviously stayed in my brain, so I must have thought about it a lot. Yeah, Jackie Beautiful. Well, should I?

I was about to say, I've got a bit of a brain stain for you. It's a conspiracy theory. Oh, brain stain. Do you believe in? and the Glee co-stars, Leah Michelle and Diana Agron, were in a secret relationship. Another glee one, wow. I know, another glee one, I think it was based on a recent glee one.

So here's a little link you guys can, I'm going to put it in the chat here. Okay. And if you want to look at this fun photo shoot, it can be a bit convincing. There's also a YouTube video. If you guys want to look at that, I can post that as well.

I'll post the YouTube video as well, but just maybe mute it, but it just kind of, it just kind of shows, I don't even know how convincing, it just sort of shows them sort of being maybe in a relationship together. Either way, here it is. This one comes in from Max from Vancouver.

The past few weeks, you've mentioned Glee a couple times, and this Glee stand cannot stand idly by any longer without submitting this celebrity conspiracy. So we all know Leah Michelle, Glee star, and whatever jail resident. They put that in next, put that in there. But mostly only Glee's stands and Veronica Mars stands. I don't know.

I'm 20. No Diana Agron. By the way, whatever, Max for being 20, okay? I'm fine with how old I am, all right? Don't whatever Max just were being 20. The gorgeous bombshell must be protected at all costs. In the show, they were supposed to hate each other. But did you know that they lived together while filming the pilot and the whole first season?

There was a rumor a while back that they were fug in, and I think they were. I've attached a link to a video that was made in 2011, and it shows. And by the way, it even has scenes where they're supposed to clearly be at odds with each other, and there still, like, seems to be, it really gives off, like, there's a sexual tension there a little bit. Like, they're really happy to be speaking to each, you know what I mean? Like, there's supposed to be enemies, and you're like, you guys aren't fucking enemies. You guys want to fucking beg, you know what I mean? Also, I've attached a link to the photo shoot that the two of them did with the late star Corey Monteth in 2010.

This photo shoot, I feel, would not be done. Yeah, Max says, now I'm mostly gay, but this photo shoot makes the bisexual in me scream. It is, it is species spicy, I will say, but it's also done in what seems like either on the set or makes them seem like a high. school girls ripping off their clothes. Being very, let's just say fucky with each other. They are being fucky with each other. Max also says, anyway, love your show.

Jackie, I love you and you're an icon. MJ, I'm so proud of you. And it's been so nice to listen along with your journey. And Holden, I'm so excited for tiny little parts. And I guess the baby two, but whatever. Tiny little parts. Oh, is that one of the small parts? songs you're writing old.

Yeah, remember that I'm learning how to write music and it's coinciding with having a baby. And I just know that I'm going to become that guy that's like, your little hands make God feel shiny, you know what I mean, or whatever. I'm going to be saying stuff like that. I'm very scared of it. I'm very so annoying. Right. You smell like the grace.

You know, you smell like the leaves of Jesus Christ. You know what I mean? Or something like, I don't know what it's going to be. Oh, that is. I do frequently look at my children and think that they smell like the leaves of Jesus Christ. I figure. And thanks again, Max from Vancouver. Also, by the way, every morning from Sugar Ray plays the whole time

while they show footage in the video. The video consists of that. But they do kind of do look like they want to have sex with each other throughout the video. So I toss it over to you. What do you think? Are you tossing it? I mean, it seems like it's undeniable.

It doesn't even seem like a conspiracy. It just seems like a. Like they just were. Yeah. I could see it. Like it's a situation. I can definitely see it happening. Especially, I mean, we got to put up

the pictures of this photo shoot. It's crazy. It's, I agree, Jackie. I think this was product of its time. It's just like, he's grabbing both of their asses. Like, is that okay? It's like, why is that, it's like, I'm gay, so I'm grabbing their asses.

It's just a strange. It's just a strange. It's, yeah. And they're in heels. She's wearing her tiny panties spread eagles. in a locker room. They're in classrooms, in panties and heels and like kind of schoolgirl outfits.

It is a bit insane. Yeah, for sure. Also, it's got to hurt wearing those six-inch heels with little girl's socks on. I can't imagine it already doesn't feel good when your PEDs are shoved into a heel like that,

but I think that with the socks on, imagine the bunching. A lot of bunching. And speaking a bunching, I would thought you were going to say it would hurt to wear those tiny, tiny underpants. Yeah. Oh, tiny panties.

Well, that's when this photo shoot is definitely from the low-rise jeans era, because it's those teeny tiny panties that I've just always, you know, I've got too much gunchin for that kind of bunching, if you know what I mean. And it's scary. Can you imagine? I just feel like the teeny panties would be, I'd have to be surgically removed from my fat folds, but. Petition to marry the name.

show too much caution for that kind of bunch. I don't know. Jackie Beautiful. Yeah, I don't know. Jackie Beautiful, though, is such a good. So, Jackie, do you think that they had some form of intercourse with each other? I, you know what? I hope that they didn't just because with everything about Leah Michelle that has come out,

I wouldn't want another person to be attached to her because it's just so many. stories that talk about, she's just not a nice person. So I'm insane name. Even racist bad girls can be part of the bad girls club, you know? I guess. I feel like bad girls club is a different, like, I feel like she should be in like the bad girls jail. The mean girl's corner, you know?

Yeah, mean girl's corner. Go think about your fucking cell. She has to wear the dunce hat. It's next door to whatever, jail. Yeah, exactly. It is. And it's grimyer in there. And that's where she belongs.

All right, that's what I'm saying. Go live in the crime. Another celebrity conspiracy done. Number 47. We're coming up on 50 celebrity conspiracies. And only three of them, yeah, only three were about Tom Cruise having sex with fish. So that's pretty impressive. He's still out there doing it, though. I tell you what, he is out there.

He's getting that. Fucking those fish. But you know who's not out there fucking those fish? Kelsey Ray, whose 31st birthday is coming up on April 17th. Yeah, I'm doing a couple shoutouts from the page 7th podcast.com. I do want to throw it out there. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. I know, MJ, that you've been reading through all of the many beautiful fucking emails from everybody.

Thank you guys so much. I just, I know that the support is not towards me, but I feel. it and I love it and it makes me smile every day. Yes, thank you to everyone who has emailed the email or message me on Instagram. I am not the best of getting back to people right now because I am just short on time and attention span and, you know, it's, but I am so I cannot, I really, the fact that they're, the world now is a place where I am can, you know, talk about. how I've always felt and that the response is just like literally universally amazing and

hearing from other people who, you know, have felt similarly. And it's just like, I couldn't have imagined this even a few years ago. And so I'm so, so grateful to everybody who has written. And I see you and I am so so thankful. I love it. But I all, but again, happy birthday, Kelsey Ray. And the way I can see paradise by the dashboard light Because your amazing sister Wanted me to sing a little bit of meatloaf for you And hopefully one day

Henry and I would be able to do it together For you And for your birthday Because this is her second quarantine birthday And she turned 30 last year And that just But just think white with come The streets will run

We're so close We're so close I can feel it. The early 30s are a great time to be, and I welcome you to them. And I mean, you've been there, but they only get better, I think. And so I'm happy not only for your birthday, but also that it's your 31st. Yes. And also, she's having a suburban dad outdoor party dressed up in our best white new balances, jorts. And you guested Jackie, we're barbecue and hot dogs because hot dog season is starting.

I mean, not that it shouldn't have been over, but I will say I had to drastically reduce the amount of hot dogs that I eat in quarantine because I shouldn't have been eating as much with how little exercise I've been doing. However, I have been hit up by The Amazing Sydney talking about a hot dog opportunity for me that I'm going to apply to because the Major League Baseball season is starting up again. and this company is looking for a baseball and hot dog super fan to become their official MLB professional food tester. Yes, I would be able to, I don't give a fuck about baseball,

but I will sing. I will sing every baseball song and you get to try hot dogs. And you get paid 500 bucks to do it. So I'm definitely going to be applying for that. I do want to give another shout out to Maxwell from London because remember when we were talking about the KFC pizza. pizza with the chicken on it and we were wondering whether or not the gravy was used as tomato sauce. There is no tomato base on the pizza.

They use the gravy as a base. The reason this doesn't work is that gravy is thinner and has a more subtle flavor than marijuana. Uh-oh, Jackie, marinera, or barbecue sauce. But the sweet court of the chicken remains a good combination. and conclusion. He says this item is fine, but is neither as good as having a KFC or having a Pizza Hut.

Therefore, it is not worth the combination sticking around. Thank you, Maxwell, for doing this research for us because we weren't able to do it ourselves. And one more shout-out. Thank you guys so much for getting into detail

with where Stan came from. Because it is from Eminem. And it was done. And I loved it because our friend Shana sent in that they've been following this TikToker comedian who does an interpretation of Gen Z and millennial content to explain to Gen Z when things actually came from millennials like the word

Stan, which surprise, surprise, it's not young people's thing. Yeah, it's not your thing. It's our thing. It came from Eminem. With your middle parts and your fucking not tight jeans or whatever it is. Yeah, and you're not tight jeans and you all look still so good in them with your tight and your high butts. And the person that... I can't stay bad at you. You look fantastic. And the person that they told me to follow, which now I am following, is Bimo the Prince.

It seems that they are very famous on TikTok, but they do explain things between millennials and Gen X people. And it is, well, I'm old enough for it to be funny. It is Bimo, the Prince, all one word. And that's who I'm following on Instagram now. And that's it for my shoutouts currently. And again, please, just thank you guys so much for all of the support for everything, for always hitting us up.

And for also letting us know, which I was aware, I also want to do a quick shout out to Aaron who told us to start watching KJ. Aipa's TikTok. MJ, do you watch KJ.A.P.S. TikTok? I started. But, you know, I think that KJ.A. This TikTok is an important story. but the TikTok shared by Lily Reinhart, Veronica, whose name I will, for some reason, always forget.

And Cheryl. Camie Mendez. Thank you. And whoever is Cheryl, whose name I will also always forget, their shared TikTok also fantastic and also features a lot of JKJ. All around, it's been a good week in my head for my perception of KJ.EATA. It's improved. I do love when Aaron says, buckle the fuck up.

If you haven't seen it yet, he has an alter ego named Fifi that he dances as. If that's an expression of his gender identity or something else that I am in full support, but I definitely have questions. I mean, like, do you, KJ? Also, how does his body move like this? It's insane. Yeah. He is a lot of fun to watch.

I do hope that he's talking to somebody. I think that he might be, but it is weird, and I like it. It humanizes him for me a little bit because Archie is such a cardboard man that I like seeing KJ. HEPA be a little bit more than that. Yep. Yes. And thank you guys again. That is page 7 podcast at gmail.com.

Feel free to hit us up. We read all of them and I absolutely love it. And it makes me smile. So thank you so much. Hell yeah. And speaking of smiling, it's time for the goddamn list. Oh! Who's on the list?

We gotta have that list. Oh my God, we are continuing on going down the list of insane things celebrities actually spend money on. Like when Rick Ross celebrated his birthday in a strip club and admits he spent a Brinks truck full of cash during the event. I don't know what a Brinks truck is, but I imagine it's a lot of cash. I will always remember Kevin Barnett, Rest in Peace, Bird Lugar telling me about getting to go of the S&L after party, I believe with Michael Che and folks, and the after party was at Davenbusters.

The musical guest was Drake, and Drake brought in bags of $2 bills. And a bunch of, and a bunch, oh, right, I forgot about the missing ingredient. And he got a bunch of strippers at the David Busters. They rid it out of Dave Busters. He got a gaggle of strippers, and then handed everybody like stacks of $2 bills

to give them for the night. Amazing. I just remember. when Barnett was sending me videos and he was sending me videos from the party while I was on my way to work at the morning. I was like, I am just this city. He's like, man,

you got to roll through. I'm like, what are you talking about? I gotta go to work. That's so much. I have work early. I work at a bakery. But he didn't care. And honestly, at this point in time, I probably should have gone. But that's okay. Don't live to regret. We live to watch Tyrese

Gibson buy an island for his daughter as a Christmas present. She was eight years old. Tyrese bought her an island. How great would that be, though? Be like, go to your island. Get out of here, go to your island. Get a boat. I don't care how you get there.

Get a fucking copter to take your ass to the island. Wow. And I'd say, may-bay. Now, this is fun, and we definitely get into this, which we'll be dropping next Tuesday, the beginning of our dream journey into Kesha's life. Kesha spends a few thousand dollars every month on glitter. In an interview with Vanity Fair,

she says, it's my goal to cover the planet in glitter and take the fuck over. I can't do that if I don't have a shit ton of glitter. You're right. You're right. She also, one of my favorite more recent things is a bunch of her fans and in their teeth

and she keeps them on a necklace. Really? Yes. Yeah. Wow. I was going to say, you know, Jackie and I have a lot in common with Kesha because of our shared love of glitter, but we don't collect teeth. Please don't send your teeth. I don't want them. All right. What are you going to do with your kids' teeth?

Oh, God, I don't know. Make a shoe out of them. Oh, make a shoe. There is two. There's two mouthfuls. My mom still has my teeth. Really? Has both of our, yeah, has all of our teeth. No, by the way, I just want you to make one single shoe of teeth, and then the other foot is just barefoot, and that's how you go to, like, the downfield. You wanted to be like a wearable shoe, not like a craft shoe.

A fully worn shoe made out of your children's teeth, but only on the right foot, left foot barefoot. How many teeth do you think they got? I don't know. Like a hundred years, right? And you might see, on the ultrasounds, you can see all of their teeth like in their skull. Those pictures scare the fuck out of me whenever you're like, this is a child's head. And it's like, yeah, I see all the teeth in there. I know what happens.

Gideon was like, babies are born. with how do they have all their teeth? And I was like, it's like we're seeing through like their skull. You know, it's weird. You don't want to think about it too much. And you're not the same. Yeah, they're looking through your skull, kids. But how did Floyd Mayweather feel?

Was he looking through the skull of his $50,000 diamond-encrusted iPod? My God. Yes, it's too much. I was already scared enough to lose my iPod. Can you imagine being terrified of losing a diamond-encrusted iPod? It's also tough to really invest in a piece of technology that, you know, is going to become outmoded. Yeah. That thing is, by the way, yeah, that diamond-encrusted thing right there is a completely useless piece of shit.

I mean, I guess you- Diamond brick. Yeah, I guess you could listen to stuff on it, but I don't know. I mean, are you gonna, though? My brother misses his iPod. He talks all the time about how he misses the iPod. He really, like, actively misses it. It was just how it had it.

It was just simple. It just had your music on it and maybe like solitaire. I think it also had solitaire. And it just had all of your music and that's the only thing it was used for, I do agree. The simplicity of the, of, I do not miss my disc man though. I don't miss my disc man. Yeah.

No. As much as they said it was anti-skip, that should skip. That should skip all the fucking time. Always skipped, even in the car. Yeah. I love this. Clearly finding the selection at guitar center not metal enough. Jonathan Davis of Corn had a custom mic stand designed and sculpted by H.R. Geiger.

That's awesome. Of course, who did the xenomorph designs for Alien, among many other creepy things. He's an awesomely creepy artist. But look at, again, Jonathan Davis of Corn, look up his custom mic stand because it's sick as fuck. It's cool. I admit, I'm not a corn head, but it is cool. Yeah, that is dope as shit. I'm more of a baby cornhead, but, you know,

well, baby corn, blah. That's the one you get. I don't know what this is, but it does sound very fancy that in 1994 Bill Gates bought the Codex license. I'm very, I'm not very smart. Written by Leonardo da Vinci, not DiCaprio, that I almost said, for $30 million. So I guess Leonardo da Vinci, he decided to write a little book.

It looks like some sort of plans for something, and Bill Gates bought it. It's a collection of scientific writings. And, yeah, back in 1510. And so I guess it's just this weird science book by this guy or whatever. Seems boring. Definitely if you're going to read the Codex licensure, you're going to want to have like a fun fiction book as well, like gone girl or something like that. You're going to need something to catch your attorney. Just read the

The Bridgetton book. Yeah, read the Bridgetton book. Yeah. I thought about the Codex while fucking you. That's not what you said. And last but not least, Elton John spent over

$380,000 on flowers in the span of 20 months. I'm a person I am sort of against the idea of being given cut flowers. Not that I would ever, they're given to me.

I'm not going to be like, yeah, get them away. I just prefer a plant. I like something that I can use again. But that's a lot of money and flowers. That's a lot. That's a lot. He's a lot. He's a big spender, though.

He got clean, and so he just shops, and he spends his big money, and that's fine. I get it. Believe me, I get it. Good for him. Not fizzing every day. Really saves you a lot. Absolutely. But it won't save me from going blind?

Oh, my God. I don't. Wait, wait. Oh, I can't, no, no. I think I'm going blind. Blind. How many times we're doing this fucking show? And how many times do I fuck up the intro to my own segment?

Technically, I fucked it up. I did it. No, we were just ready to flip the script, Jackie. Here I got it. I don't think it'll fix me from going. Yes, and. I don't think it'll fix me from going. Blind.

Items. Wow, we can't see them. All right, I'm going to need to sound a little sadder this time. Guys, I think I'm going. Blind. Blind. items. Oh, we can't see them.

You can see them. That sounds like we're talking to you when you're delusional in 85. We're like, yeah, Holden, no, we can't see them, but it's okay. It's all right, do you see them? We're just going to guide you toward the light. All right.

And I'm going to say about these blinds. This is actually a good, I'm glad the intro was janky, because these are some jank-ass blinds. Because you know what, sometimes, and I commend our celebrities for not giving us enough good blind items in a week. because you know what, that just means they're staying out of trouble.

They're working on their, what's self-healing. You know what I mean? That's what I'm going to chalk it up to. Or it's too sad, and then I can't do those either. But you know what? We're going to do, all right, so, for example, here's a weird back-in-the-day blind, okay? Just starting out, the now permanent A-plus actor made inroads into the business via the Laurel Canyon Sunset Strip crowd in the late 60s, early 70s.

by dealing pot. You always know they know what's going on when they say pot. He was known as the man to see for the best weed. It helped him land that iconic small part in the counterculture independent film that ultimately catapulted him to stardom. All right, let me give you some more clues. Matthew McConaughey.

No, but close, older than that. Older than Matthew McConaughey. We're talking late 60s or early 70s. In the same field, but again, older than that. Um, the independent, counterculture independent film led to a big Hollywood blockbuster film involving... Kurt Russell. No, involving space by the same director. It was a George Lucas thing?

Kurt Russell? Maybe. Uh, space balls? No, that's not George. But Star Wars. Harrison Ford. What led to Star Wars? Harrison Ford.

Is it really Harrison Ford? Was it apparently a weed dealer, I guess, before he, yeah. That's why I threw the doubt. I was just like, that's fun. He was dealing weed. and that was a like scary time to deal weed up in Hollywood and that's re-rubbed elbows with people. I love that idea because you never,

you always look at Harris Ford, you're like, that guy's like a square, you know what I mean? Like, for sure. So I would love it if a young Harrison. And that movie would be American Graffiti. And American Graffiti was directed by George Lucas and then that's what led to him getting. But he was in this very small role in that movie,

but he really was a standout as like the bad boy in that movie, right? And that's probably what... Sexy-ass weed dealer if he shows up at your house. Right? You're gonna be happy about that. Because he was sexy. I was like, okay.

Yeah, especially back then. He did just have April Reel Day. Do you want to come smoke the reels away with me? And so I said, that'll be my head on them. You think it'll work? Am I in Allie McBeal enough? Everyone's always like, oh, Jackie McBeal? No, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that. Is that that show that neither of you all saw? Never saw it. Never fucking saw. Unless you've watched it since last week. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Now it's just a reference.

I mean, that show must be the most dated. Oh my God, I'm watching a show from the early 2000s, late 90s, like TV show ever, by the way. All right. Yeah. Here we go. A kind blind. A happy blind. I love these blinds.

These are so nice. This is a blind in support of a celebrity. It was a house of sweaty horrors. Two friends of mine participated in a movie, not mine, but the person who wrote the blind. Two friends of mine participated in a movie filmed in Detroit around 2008. The movie was directed by a talk show host. During the movie, this late night fun, I mean, a talk show host who is also a child star, who's more known for her film work.

During the movie, this late night funny person had a small part, but they were the real star of the show, and how they treated the extras. So not the director, but the late night funny person who was in the movie, the way that they treated the extras. You see, they were filming in a Detroit warehouse in August with no AC, and these extras were sweltering in face pain and wigs. The late night funny person entertained them between takes, signed hundreds of autographs, took dozens of photos.

They could have retreated to their air-conditioned trailer, but they were a class act every minute of the day. Oh, so the opposite of Leah Michelle, at least with everything that I was reading through that referred to the extras as cockroaches to their face. Late night. Okay, so in... So they're both talk show hosts technically. One is the late, but the good guy is the late night funny.

person. The other talk show host is more known for her film work and for being a child star. Okay, is that? It's like not talk show host wouldn't be the first thing came to your mind. It's a more recent thing. I can see her face from Firestarter. Fire starter. Is she in Firestarter?

What's the movie she's known for? Not Reese Witherspoon, but she reminds me of Reese Witherspoon. Oh my God. I could see her face. She was at E.T. Yeah, she showed David Letterman in tits. Drew Barrymore. God damn it.

I did not raise with us. The late 90s funny man is also known for being a bit of a drunk and blind items. Ooh. Oh, Jimmy Fallon. Yeah, Jimmy Fallon. And I'm going to say this right now. All right, I've been on multiple shoots. I've been in extra on shoots.

I've been not an extra on shoots. Doing that for your extras is like a huge deal. No one does that. No, extras are treated like trash. No one, no, like, the stars of a project, like, never treat extras like anything, much less, like, hangs out with them, especially in, like, super sweltering heat in a warehouse to make sure. So was it Jimmy Fallon that did that? Yes. Or was it Drew Barrymore that did that?

But also, I have heard insane, amazing things about Drew Barrymore as well. Yeah. That is just, like, apparently she is just as nice as you want her to be. And, like, professionally, intimately, like, no matter what, whether, like, she, no matter what, whether, like, she, no. She knows you whether she doesn't know you. She's supposed to be like the nicest person of all time. And I really want to see the movie. The movies Whip It about the roller derby team that came out in 2009.

That sounds great. Yes. I love all the other derbyes. Stars Elliot Page. Oh my God. So good. I have seen this. It's really good.

I really want to watch it. It's so good. And Jimmy Fallon's in it, of course. I really want to watch it. It looks awesome. Oh, I forgot about that Kristen Wigg is in it. Marching Hay Hardens in it. It's a great.

movie. Yeah. Juliet Lewis is in it. Yeah. I really want to watch it. Great cast. Love that Barrymore's the director. Yeah.

That's very cool. What talk show does Drew Barrymore host? Yeah. Her old talk show. That's why I kept trying to. Remember, we talked about it. It's so funny, MJ, because I know we've talked about it on this show. And I know, and we talked about it in this sense.

I think maybe even it was a blind at one point that she kind of gets, she's clearly seems hammered in a lot of clips. I think she's just having a good time. But I actually really enjoy her talk show. Really? Yeah. You know I'm a sucker for talk shows, and I really, I think. I trust your taste.

Ever since I saw my first episode of Red Table Talk, I trust your taste in talk shows. Oh, thank you. I mean, nothing will ever beat Red Table Talks, but, you know, Drew Barrymore's show is delightful, but just because she's just, she reminds me of a beautiful, like the first spring poppy. Like, she's just such a, she puts a smile on my face. Drunk or not. She puts a goddamn smile on my face. She just seems like a really nice friend.

Yeah. I know. I want to meet her. And here's a final blind or whatever. This A-list singer slash soon-to-be judge is cheating on her significant other. So I'm really iffy on the whole wedding thing she's planning. She also steals everything from everyone and she's completely whatever. And so whatever.

Ariana Grande with the voice. Yeah, probably. I guess fucking Ariana Grande is cheating on Don't Gomez. And she's also going to be a host of the voice. whatever with that. So I guess the voice is going to not be good now. So, so fascinating.

Honestly, I stopped watching the voice probably eight years ago, but just because I just was done with it. Even though your husband, Blake Shelton, is there? I know. My husband is there.

But then, like, his girlfriend was on the show. And I was like, okay, he's flirting with her and stops looking at me in the eyes when I watched the show.

So I had to let it go. I had to leave it. be and now Ariana Grande's on it and now we're especially as a show banned from watching the voice you hear me MJ you hear me hold in band thank you that will work for me I really appreciate your support taking it from you I you're welcome take it off my plate thank you yeah well I heard she steals so that's something I heard she steals um just heard that from a lot of people she's not a Winona rider we can forgive Winona we can do anything in this country. And we can.

The Paul Rubens of female celebrities. Yeah. Oh, wow. I can see that. You should have gotten canceled for that. That's a stupid. It's a whole thing. They were both wronged. You're right. Yes, they were wronged. They were wronged. But we were righted. Here on page seven this week,
