I know where to holla blame.
Fuck you, Henry, for getting this my head.
I don't know.
Welcome to page seven, everybody.
I'm Marcus Parks.
I'm Jackie Surbrose.
I'm Molly Nethel.
Why hasn't Drake hosted the Super Bowl?
Huh.
Because he's Canadian.
Oh.
Well, they're talking about, that's what, I don't know if you saw the whole thing where
Bruno Mars called action.
I guess the next Super Bowl is going to be in Atlanta.
and he said that, like, you guys should bring in a bunch of, like, Atlanta hip hop artists.
Yeah.
To do the Super Bowl, which would be fucking awesome, but I don't think that they're going to let that happen.
Yeah, I feel like that's far too interesting for a Super Bowl halftime show.
Oh, you didn't like bed sheet prints?
Oh, my God.
I have so many feelings.
Where do we begin?
It is the Wednesday after the Super Bowl.
We've all had time to digest the week.
And the mediocrity. I really did not expect Justin Timberlake to be so mediocre. I would have said he'll be fun. You know, I was disappointed that it wasn't going to be him and Janet and I was disappointed that it was only going to be him. I wasn't looking forward to it per se, but I wasn't expecting it to be like garbage. And it was garbage.
We're going to go ahead and start this thing off with a blind item specifically about this and specifically addressing what you just said.
Oh, yeah.
I hope it's about Janet.
This permanent A-Lis singer says that despite what this A-Lis singer has to say,
there has not been a full airing of grievances over what happened between them in the past,
and there has been no forgiveness.
How could there be?
I don't know.
I mean, that's the, of course there hasn't been.
He's an asshole.
I love Justin Timberlake.
And also, got to say, hashtag daddy, looking good daddy.
In that outfit, really?
I mean, it's just like he, he loves.
looked like a tired father.
But also, I think he looks better now than he used to.
That's for sure.
Agreed.
But of course, I mean, it's not like they're talking every day.
But also, he was so, this, it's just, Janet Jackson was banned from the Super Bowl.
And then it was like a day before.
And they're like, oh, no, no, no, no.
She's not banned.
Yeah.
You can't do that.
Yeah.
Why was she banned in the damn first place?
I was trying to go back and, like, in my head, I was like, that was two thousand.
And it was.
I cannot believe that it was that long ago.
And I was like trying to put myself in the headspace of how it made any sense at the time that she would be banned for him ripping her clothes off in what was presumably a, the consensus is that it was a mistake, right?
It was a wardrobe malfunctioned.
It's always the, what is it, the little sun thing that was over the entire breast when he ripped him off, that there was a decoration on it.
That's why people, I think, were a little apprehensive about saying, like, oh, no, it was totally a wardrobe malfunction.
Because they thought that that made it seem like it was planned.
Yeah, that there was decoration made it seem like it was planned.
But even if there was a decorative pasty that made it be planned,
why she absorbed the brunt of the like scorn and he gets to just go on and be fine when, no offense, J.T.,
but she is a more talented musician and a more interesting, like, pop star.
And if they're going to have J.T. back, like, if they had had J.T. back and her,
or if she, even if we thought it was only going to be him and then she had made a surprise appearance,
which was what I was really hoping for, I would have, like, all is forgiven.
But now I just feel more angry than ever before.
I just think that they just have a weird, I mean, technically, maybe her breasts just wasn't good enough.
Maybe that question about that.
We needed to see a.
better breast.
But then last week we were talking about how
there was like the call to arms of like
please don't show a breast this time
but instead of no
breast they had no fun.
Yeah, right.
This is hoodies. I was so upset. Yeah.
Yeah. What'd you say?
A bunch of people dancing around in hoodies.
Yeah. This was like the, it was like how
James Corden seemed, James
Gordon at the Grammys seemed as if somebody
had like threatened him backstage.
Like if you fucking say
anything offensive, you are never
going to work again. And he was so
terrified. He was, and I
never totally
loved James Gordon, but he was like,
even, like, more
like bland than ever before
at the Grammys, and we were like, it seems like he's
terrified of saying the wrong
thing, or, you know, quote unquote
the wrong thing, of feeling like he's going to make a joke
and then get in trouble for it or whatever.
And so it was like, what's wrong with you?
And this Super Bowl felt the same thing.
It was like, we're all just,
gonna...
But like, there are so many ways to have a lot of fun
and not like cross the line,
but instead they were just like,
we're just gonna be the plainest motherfuckers on earth
and have the least inspiring halftime show
except for the part where Prince music was playing.
Because of course, whenever Prince music is playing,
it's nice, but that's a whole
another can of words.
That's a whole other bugaboo that we'll get to here
in just a second.
I thought that the dancers did a really good job,
though. They were, I don't know,
I just, I was more entrancing.
by the dancing
that wasn't happening from JT
because I felt like JT was kind of just like
yeah I still do this
I can move
Yeah and he
Well also he sounded
Terrible what was up with that
You're a technical guy
It was just a sound issue
Like it was somebody fucked up
Somewhere they had the mix
They had the vocals down too low in the mix
Just somebody
Just somebody fucked up
So for that part, I actually did feel kind of bad for JT.
But it also, I feel like it also just made it really clear that JT doesn't have a great voice.
That's what it sounded like.
It just didn't, it's not only that the technically, it didn't sound good,
but also it was like, you got a weak voice, bruh.
Yeah, well, he was too low in the mix, which makes it seem like he's got a weak voice.
I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also, I mean, on top of it, it's like the new songs are just,
his new album is just not good.
And like that's what you're promoting.
This is what's happening here.
And the sheet.
I yelled at the TV through the entire halftime show.
I was so upset through all of it.
And I just, it's like, at least like bring up Jessica Beal.
I'd rather see her up there.
Right.
Any other living guest would have been better than Prince.
Unless you are just going to be like, you know what?
We're in Minneapolis.
Prince has, you know, transcended our world
into the next world.
And so let's just play a movie of Prince
for the halftime show.
That would have been fine.
If they had just done an actual Prince tribute
with just videos of Prince or just listening
to Prince's music, that would have been great.
Just have someone cool sing a Prince song.
Yes.
Like just have someone cool, go up,
sing like a few bars of a print song
and have that be it.
Yeah, right. Even that would have been fine.
Well, and when the whole hologram did,
debate came up. It's like, it should have been Janet Jackson that came up to fucking sing the
Prince song with him. Where are their heads? Oh, Jesus. You're right. There's no way they, they probably
didn't reach out to Janet Jackson at all. I did enjoy the whole hashtag Janet Jackson Appreciation
Day, like trending thing on Twitter, because that was a lot of fun. I did listen to a lot of Janet Jackson
since, because now it's like her streaming is just like out of control. Everyone's listening to
Janet Jackson right now.
So go for her.
Yeah.
That's, I just like Janet Jackson.
No, you're totally.
I didn't realize how much I liked Janet Jackson.
I didn't either until I realized, until I started thinking about how wrong she.
And to be honest, in 2004, I don't, it didn't really register with me how, what had, how, how wrong she had been.
And I was a, I was a high schooler and I was like, her, boob, you know.
And now I'm like, this is, I'm like, this is a political issue.
But the more I'm just like, she's talented as fuck.
And this is unfair.
Yeah, it totally should have been her.
They had brought fucking Janet Jackson up,
and then a Prince song started,
and she was dancing or singing to,
that would have been fucking fantastic.
Nope, bed sheet.
Bed sheet.
Bed sheet.
That he sang with a bed sheet instead.
But also remember the beginning part of the halftime show
when he was in that soundstage in the stadium somewhere?
I think that was pre,
I think they did that thing where they did a kind of like pre-recorded.
thing if him like seeming like he was down
like down in the gallows
not the gallows but you know what I mean. Yeah
that pit. Yeah down in the pit and then he
just kind of pops out and that's when the actual
thing starts. I'm not sure but it's
I'm kind of tired of that shit because didn't
he do that exact same thing
at the Oscars last year where
he started backstage and then
came up singing that troll song.
That's exactly how the
Oscars started last year so they just used the
same fucking thing again with the same
guy. Yes and with the same
song. And like, you know, another thing about
the JT portion of the performance, even
me not really knowing the new album that much
like we talked about last week, I like some old
JT, but it's weird to have
unless it's like the who, where you're just like,
all right, we're going to listen to some old who songs.
Yeah, my generation, great. Yeah, nobody wants
new who material. All right, let's do it. But
it's not, I don't think that JT is like a classic
enough artist that it's just like, let's
listen to these songs that you wrote 10 years
ago, you know?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, and not just 10 years ago.
Like, the troll song, that was like two or three years ago.
Right, and that song is like one of the new ones or whatever that they did.
And that song is fun and fine and kids love it and that's great.
I like that song.
Yeah, I like that song.
It kind of makes me a little happy.
Yeah.
Because it's a nothing song.
It's about nothing.
Yeah.
It's about dance, dance, dance.
But, like, yeah, so that was fine.
But then even I thought that I would be excited when, like, sexy back started or whatever.
And I just, I just wasn't.
I just don't need it.
I'd rather have like a real throwback to an actual like artist being like,
all right,
let's do some actual classics or somebody doing things that are just slightly more relevant
than songs from 10 years ago and then a song from like two years ago.
I don't know.
Like maybe it's just because I didn't have many expectations
because I'm just fine with Justin Timberlake.
But I watched the thing and excluding the Prince thing.
And even the Prince thing was just like I finished it up and I was like,
that was fine.
Yeah.
Like that was okay.
And then I got texts from both of you like.
That sucked.
That was awful.
That sucks so bad.
I'm like, all right.
Like, we were just all, like, drinking at Ben's place and just yelling and having a fine time.
And just both you were like, that was awful.
Oh, I took it very seriously.
Because I feel like I spent the entire time waiting for something to happen.
Because also, where was in sync?
Right.
Slap a fucking in sync on there at least.
I saw them, they were, like, they were trailing Lance Bass.
and they were just like, why was it in sync on it?
Why was it in sync on it?
He basically was just like, oh, well, because we're not a band anymore.
But everyone would have loved it.
At least something, some kind of spark.
Yeah.
Because they're about to get a fucking star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Why now?
I don't get why.
It's not like they're having a reunion or anything.
But at the same time, that would have just given it.
Or like, they're talking about spice girls coming back.
Bring up the fucking spice girls.
Do something to make it interesting.
For a JT performance alone, it was fine.
But for a Super Bowl halftime show,
I feel like in the last few years,
we've had such good surprises.
Like, remember when Destiny's Child,
like rose up from the floor?
That was cool.
You know, like, or when Bruno Mars was there
and then Beyonce was also there
and, like, good team-ups, you know?
And so, right, I think that
it just being just J.T. the whole time.
And then I guess the, like,
guest was, like, projected prints
on a bed sheet.
when I guess that Prince's family
ended up being fine with the bed sheet
but like you know
there's this quote that I'm sure the people
have seen that's going around
with Prince being like if I was meant to jam
with Duke Ellington we would have been born
in the same time you know
Right I agree with that it is creepy
I think the holograms are creepy
Don't do holograms
Eh
Ah
It's like I mean at least if you're going to do it it's like
I guess build like a robot
You know like make it something that's
Right of a lot
Maybe I'm too old.
I don't know.
It scares me.
I think a shitty chucky cheese prince would have been just fine.
In fact, I think Prince kind of would have liked that.
Right.
Maybe he would have been okay with that.
Yeah, well, I told you guys, my favorite tweet about the whole hologram thing
with somebody being like, listen, if Prince wanted to cross dimensions to come back and
perform for us, he's perfectly capable of doing it on his own.
He would have done that.
Which is just perfect.
Like, you know, once the Prince music was playing, I was like, fuck yeah, this is
great there in Minneapolis,
Prince is playing,
but then you had to go back
to Justin Timberlake music after that.
Yeah.
It's just like a cold splash of water
in your face.
Well, from what I've read in the blind items,
not just this week,
but over the last few months,
JT's got a ton of beefs.
Like, he's not well-liked.
People don't really like J-T all that much.
Like I read, actually did read one today
from a couple of weeks ago
that said that he was at a party,
he was having a party at his house
and like some other people showed up
and they started,
the attention started,
and taken away from him, so he just kind of flipped out
to get the attention back to him,
and that's apparently how J.T. kind of is.
J.T. is kind of a piece of shit. He doesn't have a whole
lot of friends. He pissed off Insink,
pissed off Janet Jackson. I think
he wants people to come groveling to him,
and he could not manage,
he couldn't get that, he couldn't make that happen.
Pissed off Prince's family, which I would not want to do.
Well, and that's the whole thing, too, is that he started that
beef with Prince a long time ago.
And it's like, this whole thing
shouldn't have happened.
He had a beef with Prince?
So the whole thing is that, like, he, when he won for bringing sexy back when he got the Grammy,
when they brought him up, Prince was the one that announced it.
But he had said, like, well, I mean, he didn't bring sexy back.
It never left, which was funny because it's Prince.
And, yeah, he's pure sex.
That's what Prince is.
But so then Justin Tipper, like, released a song that in this song that was like,
you say that sexy never left
but you're just upset because you didn't come up
with it or something like threw a jab at him
and then when Prince won a Grammy
a couple of years ago he was stuck in traffic
and he couldn't get to the venue in time
so Justin Timberlake because Prince is notoriously short
lowered the mic and pretended to give
the Golden Globe to someone that was really really small
which it's like, dude.
Oh my God.
It's fucking Prince.
You are not the king of sex.
I'm sorry.
I mean, yes, daddy now, but I don't think that.
Like, I don't think of Justin Timberlake and go, oh, he is everything.
Like, he's not the one that turns, you know, men.
That's not, it's not what he is.
Yeah, he doesn't confuse.
He's not so sexy that he really confuses heterosexual people, which is something the prince could do.
He's not a huh where, like, kind of look, you go, huh.
No, Just Dipperlake is absolutely not one of those.
Nor is he even remotely,
I feel like Justin Dipperlake is like
was trying to be all king of pop or whatever.
You're not the king of pop.
You're not Michael Jackson.
You're not nearly as musically talented as Prince.
You don't have nearly the cultural relevance of Prince.
So don't even fucking try, you know?
And I'm not even saying,
I was not even trying to be mad at Justin Timberlake
until this damn Super Bowl show.
I was fine with him.
And now everything I learned gets me madder.
I didn't know about that beef history.
I don't know.
You'd probably get pretty mad at the music videos that he's releasing recently.
Because they are, I mean, as a very rich white man,
they are kind of winky woke, I'll tell you.
He's just trying so hard, but it's like, dude, you can't.
Yeah, don't do it.
You can't.
Sorry, you can't.
You're not in the fucking race.
Just dance around, boy.
He's in the woods, right?
Is that his new album?
He's like a little shirtless man in the woods?
Hmm.
Or am I thinking of something else?
There's a, there's like a whole post-apocalyptic thing.
I think we talked about this last week.
Man of the Woods.
It's called Man of the Woods.
He's woke.
I don't even know what that means.
Yeah, woods aren't necessarily woke.
No, it's him.
No, it's just like, I'm seeing like it's a promo picture.
It's him outside wearing one of those like sheepskin lines.
jackets in front of the mountains and a bunch of horses.
Because people keep comparing it to that picture of Donald Trump Jr.
Sitting on a tree stump and like staring off into the middle distance.
It's the music video for supplies that it's just like they're just trying to like make this whole like they're trying to say something with it.
And it's just and he can't.
Yeah.
Don't.
Like with all the movements.
They include every movement in it.
Like it opens up with him watching a bunch of TVs
with just a bunch of like protests and rallies
and hashtag me too's and all this stuff.
That's how the fucking video opens.
Oh, Jesus, I got to watch this immediately.
I'm watching it as soon as I get home.
Oh, my God, do I not like Justin Timberlake?
I don't like him.
I think I don't like him.
I think I don't like him.
I am going to, now thanks to Riverdale.
I'm going to be quoting Tony from Riverdale for the rest of my life just being like, J.T., it's not your story to tell.
You know, that's just, thank you.
Thank you, Riverdale.
Oh, and do we have a Riverdale round up for you this week?
Oh, do we?
Good Lord.
I have things to say.
I had to stop watching it in front of my brother.
Because you were too hot and bothered.
I had to leave the room.
I was like, I got to.
I got to take a walk for a minute.
Of course, Riverdale Roundup will be released apart from page seven.
That will commence later.
Yeah, we'll get to that one much later in the day.
Should we talk about Kylie Jenner and her baby?
I kind of want to talk about how awful all of the commercials were.
Let's do that.
Yeah, let's definitely do that.
The commercials were terrible.
They were also woke.
Don't say something if you don't.
know what you're saying.
We don't need to get into the,
we don't need to get in the built to serve.
We don't, but I just,
all those,
all those non-racist babies really worked me up.
That in all the car places that are really doing a lot for,
a lot of movements out there.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There was a,
there was a lot,
but nothing at the,
like there was a lot and nothing all at the same time.
Like,
there wasn't really anything fun.
I guess the tide stuff was,
Kind of fun.
Yeah, there wasn't that much that was fun, and it wasn't, it didn't have the feeling of like a romp, but it also didn't, like I predicted last week that there would be some sort of horrible Budweiser commercial about like not assaulting people, which there wasn't, which is good, I guess.
One that really stood out to me that I was actually weirdly offended by, and you know I don't get offended by anything, was that Hyundai commercial where they were linking up people that owned Hondas with cancer survivors?
Are they trying to get through security?
Because they're both heroes?
What?
I watched it.
I was just like, because also this is the first time I've ever watched the Super Bowl on the West Coast, so it's earlier.
So I'm not tanked the way I usually am when I watch the Super Bowl because it's the middle of the fucking day.
And I was just watching it.
I was like, what is this?
Who is upset?
Someone's upset about this, right?
And it's strangely enough, it's not the first time that a car company has used kids with cancer to try.
try to sell their damn cars.
Subaru does the same thing.
They got that little boy with cancer being like,
I don't mind all the appointments.
It's fucking, it's fucking in theory.
Oh, my God.
And that Hyundai one was real.
But yeah, it didn't, it was like,
I feel like, again, the people,
people know you're supposed to say something.
Most people don't know what they're supposed to say.
And so they're like, well, we can't just have silly ones,
but then they also don't know what to say.
And so they're just like,
these kids have cancer
thanks for buying a car
and it's just like one tone
are you trying to strike right now
nobody can get mad at a kid with cancer
that's one thing that's guaranteed
and it was a different because last year it was like
you know last year was like I guess January
or maybe I can't remember if it was like January
February but it was right after the inauguration
and so it was like this different political
moment and I remember there was like a Budweiser commercial
that was like immigrants deliver
our beer and then the next day Budweiser was like
we didn't mean to be political
So like this year they didn't even do anything like that even remotely.
I mean, the most they did was the, we give water.
We got water stuff.
Yeah, which is fine.
Water's good.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you can't forget how many times they said the word stink in the Fabriz commercial
where it's like, my bleep don't stink.
My bleep, I wanted to throw up.
It made me nauseous.
I was so upset.
I was just like, but I couldn't stop watching.
it, those goddamn advertisers.
That made me upset.
How did you guys feel about that one?
I hated that one as well.
My bleep don't stink.
His bleep don't stink.
Stink.
Stinky, Jackie.
I hate stinky!
God, I just like, I feel like there's like barbs, like just stingrays going into my head every time I hear the word stanky.
Stinky dinky.
Now, I mean, now it's just.
just makes me think of stinky-dinky, of course.
Ah, ah, ah.
Those stinky-dinky.
I think we're fine.
I think if they would have brought John Leguizamo in on the stinky-dinky commercial.
That would have been good.
I think that would have been good.
That's a deep cutoff.
Oh, my God.
That would have been just for you, Marcus.
Someone tweeted at me that John Leguizamo's in the Waco, the Waco show or whatever, with Riggins, baby.
I haven't watched it yet.
But they said every time John Liguizamo comes on the screen, she goes,
one stinky dinky ah ah ah that makes he so it's like that's not appropriate wait i saw episode one of waco
and i know i don't want to do too much crossover here but uh which one is riggins is he was he
in episode one he's david caresh he's david care that's that's riggins yeah that's rigged
what i watched the whole hour of that show yeah that's rigged's david's yeah you're kidding
no no 100%. here i was being like rory colkin is that
I did not realize Riggins was there.
Yeah.
Wow.
And also that's...
Is he good in it?
Is he good?
I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed the first episode.
All right.
It's funny.
We've been doing ads over on last podcast for Waco and the copy is like, Academy Award nominee, Michael Shannon.
Academy Award nominee, John Leguizamo, and Taylor Kitch.
It's like at this point, just say from Friday Night Lights
because then everyone goes, yeah!
I spent the first half of the damn episode being like,
where do I know that other guy from?
And it was that he was the fuckboy from House of Cards.
Which one?
Claire's fuck boy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The novelist guy.
The novel.
Yeah, there was also on like Boardwalk Empire.
Yes, right, right.
Gideon came in and he was like,
that guy's from Boardwalk Empire.
I was like, shut up, he's not from.
I haven't seen Boardwalk Empire.
What else is he from?
I had to look it up.
You should watch Boardwalk Empire.
I think you'd love it.
Yeah, I think that that might be next on my list.
I'm almost done with the Sopranos, having worked through, I'm like on season five out of six.
But so maybe next I'll do Boardwock Empire.
Pop your way into that.
I think you'd really like it.
But I did enjoy Waco.
Dan, now I got to go back and watch it again knowing that it was Taylor fucking Kidd.
Oh, man.
I've also been, is everyone getting hyped for the Olympics?
Oh, and one other thing about the Super Bowl.
It was a very good game.
It was a great game.
Boring.
Who cares?
I actually enjoyed.
I don't care about it.
I enjoyed the game, which I don't often do.
Yeah, it was a very good game.
That's really what it's about.
It was.
So, yeah, good game.
Oh, that's what I was thinking of, too.
That other, the, I had the time of my life commercial was pretty fantastic with the two footballies, guys.
That was very fun.
That's what they should be.
Yes.
Like, that's what a Super Bowl commercial should be.
Well, also, Odell Beckham is like.
Yes, please.
He is extremely dreaming.
Wait, who was that?
Who was that one?
The one who wasn't Eli Manning, the black guy.
I'll take him.
Yeah.
Eli Manning almost, that commercial was so good that Eli Manning didn't even ruin it for me.
But usually when I see Eli Manning's face, I'm just like, fix your face.
And I didn't even feel that way this time.
Oh, do we not like him?
Is he bad?
He's fine.
I think he's fine.
He just looks like, I feel like I went to high school with him.
He just looks like an idiot.
You go to high school.
high school with. I think he's a fine guy, but he just, his little slack jaw and his, like,
he just looks so much like a dumb-ass football player. And I don't even need to insult football players.
There's just something about him specifically that I feel like I know him and I don't like him.
I don't know. It's totally unfair. It's a completely emotional reaction I have to him.
He seems like a nice enough fella. Like, I think Henry on one episode of last podcast called him
Gumpy. Yeah, he's real Gumpy. He's not Gumpy.
Look at his face.
I feel mean.
I feel like I'm mean to him because I'm sure he's done nothing wrong.
I think he's just like a do-ma-do-do-do type of guy.
But he just is always, his mouth is always a little open.
And his eyes are always like a little bit unfocused.
And it just annoys me.
It brings out like a very mean feeling in me and it's probably not okay.
I love it.
I love that you feel this way.
I mean, I think that he's,
like, see me, he's like a big, like droopy puppy, and I just want to kiss him on his little face.
Yeah.
So, I mean, I like that, you know, we just have different tastes, Molly, and that's okay.
Yeah, I mean, but O'Dall Beckham in that commercial is like, I was like, after that commercial ended, I was like, who, like, really, really did it for me.
I'm sure your husband appreciated that.
Who couldn't be any further from him?
Yeah, that's true.
You know, yeah, football players in general, and not usually my type.
But I didn't even realize that I loved him until that commercial.
And then I was like, I will follow you to the ends of the earth.
Wait, what is his name?
Odell, am I, I hope I'm getting it right.
It's O'D-E-L-Bekam Jr., I think, is his name.
Uh-oh.
I think he's like otherwise, like a charming and funny person.
Like, I think everything he does in public has been fun.
They're both fine.
Yeah.
Eli Manning's just a guy that thinks about football.
all the time.
And he looks like a guy that thinks about football all the time.
Right.
But otherwise a very nice fellow.
Yeah, right.
It looks like he's never thought about one thing besides football.
I don't think Peyton annoys me as much, which is.
Peyton annoys me more.
Really?
Yeah.
I like Eli better and I like Peyton.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't know why.
Like, because just Peyton, I don't know.
Like, Peyton seems like he could be like a dick to you.
Yeah.
But Eli just looks like he's thinking about football too much to be a dick.
I feel like I went to high school with them.
You know, and I feel like, you know, they just look like, don't they look like two guys you go to high school with?
Totally, yeah.
And who played football together?
Oh, yeah, they're football dudes.
Yeah.
Did you find him?
Oh, my God.
O'Dell Beckham Jr. is fucking hot.
Yeah.
I am going to go down a hole here.
I'm going to sit while I'm watching Riverdale and just stare at pictures of him.
Yeah.
You know, just to get it good and juicy out there.
Yeah, he is real pretty.
It's always, now it's every Wednesday.
Like, we always record on Wednesdays, and it's always with the 8 o'clock p.m.
on the CW in the back of your head.
Yeah, I had a call last Wednesday at 8
that I rescheduled so that I...
So that I...
Oh, my God, I love it.
Oh.
Oh, I just won.
I am excited about the Olympics
because of the Olympic fanfare song
and I listened to about five times yesterday
because I was looking into
what the new song is for the Olympics.
And I gotta say, it's disappointing.
There's a new song.
Not really.
I was just looking up
what these songs of the Olympics
were this year. I think no one cares about
the Winter Olympics. Is that what it is?
I don't care about the Winter Olympics. I feel bad
that I don't, but I just don't.
See, I love the Winter Olympics.
It's so cold.
Which sports?
Let Everyone Shine is very...
It sounds like it's from
1982, and it's very...
It's interesting, but I think that the artist
who sings it, she's like a well-known artist.
Because I think it's in China?
South Korea.
South Korea.
Wait a minute.
Did the opening ceremony already happen?
I think it's this weekend.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, that's right, because I read a blind item that Megan Kelly is not going.
That lady is back and everywhere.
She's on Dateline now.
Her show is so terrible.
Really?
It's bad because I do watch some daytime TV like in the morning when I'm eating breakfast.
Megan Kelly's show is awful.
Yeah, I was watching.
I watched a date line the other day that was, it was a real intersection of a lot of things.
It was exciting.
It was a date line, which that's my current obsession.
And it was about a girl who had grown up in the Church of Latter-day Saints offshooted Mormonism, just like Big Love.
And she left.
And it was basically like a real-life exposition.
of big love people.
It was real spicy,
but Megan Kelly was there
and I didn't care for her.
Yeah, she seems like a bit of a half a lump,
you know?
She's also like a real Sally come lately,
you know, because she was over at Fox News
doing her thing over there for a while
talking about how Santa's not black
and now she's at NBC in Dateline,
and I just feel like, when did you get here, you know?
I haven't heard the phrase Sally Come Lately in quite a bit
And you know, I think I got to get it into my vernacular
I'm like it a lot
Yeah, Sally Come Lately
It's useful
A bit of a Sally come lately
But wait Jackie, what sports do you like in the Winter Olympics?
I just find the sports to be not as interesting
Ice skating
Yeah
I love the ice skating
I get obsessed with the ice skating
And I also like to watch the ones
When they're on the skis and they jump off the thing
And then I like it when they got the things
things on their feet, they jump and they do the swoops.
And I don't know what any of them are called.
And I don't know what they're getting judged on.
Can you imagine just like throwing yourself up in the air and being like, I'm going to flip
20 times?
Yeah.
How?
That's why I like the Olympics.
I mean the Olympics, the gymnastics and the summer Olympics.
Yes.
And for some reason in the snow, it just doesn't excite me as much.
And I love the floor routines and the Olympics and the gymnastics, but I don't know why
Figure skating doesn't excite me as much.
You got shit where people are just like flying down in a tube.
You got bobsled, you got Luzz.
Yeah, Bob Sled and Luz are cool.
You're making Bob Sled Team.
Every year, every time the Olympics come on,
that gives me a reason to watch cool runners.
I think everyone just thinks about cool runnings
when they think about the Winter Olympics
and then they feel good about it, you know.
Of course!
But that's fine.
Speed skating I can get down with, I think.
I think I'm still in love with Dougie Duck.
That's my problem.
Oh, it's, oh, man, when he kisses that egg and he gets in that caboose or whatever they're called, Sled?
There's a nice little bobsled team narrative going this time as well.
Really?
For the first time in, for the first time, the women's Jamaican bobsled team is making a debut.
All right.
Yeah, yeah, 30 years after the men's team participated for the first time.
I sent a reboot, an all-female reboot of Cool Runnings.
Oh, my God.
They have to make a rebus.
They have to make a remake
I can be the John Candy in it
Get someone on the phone
Get someone on the phone
I'm going Africa
Jamaica
Becky's manager
Oh my god
We got to write this guys
All female reboot
It's just gonna be like girls night out
Except they're in a tube
They're in a fucking going fast in a tube
I'm it
I'm so excited
Bob Sled
You gotta watch the Olympics
I'll watch it. I definitely like anything that everyone's all watching at once.
Those make me very happy.
Yeah, speed skating's great.
Ooh, yeah, those are fun.
I just like the ones because I like Bob Sleddy because it's like also, it's like,
they could just go, they could slip right out of that thing.
It's open.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's fun.
There's some skill involved.
But what upsets me is that, like, they, for the, like, the U.S., like on the road,
Pump-em-Up song that they're listening to
is a song by sleeping with sirens
and it's
God-awful. It's so bad. It makes me
think about like
all the songs that sound like this
that we used to listen to when we were in high school.
And it's not inspiring
and it made me very upset.
And then I just listened to a bunch of Katie Perry
just to cleanse my palate. Well let's listen to some
of it.
Uh-oh.
And they're all 10 years old.
Oh, that's enough.
No, no, no, we don't even need to get that's enough.
That's it.
30 seconds is enough.
It feels so familiar.
Why does it feel familiar?
Because all fucking, there's a billion songs that sound like.
Like, that's where rock music has settled these days.
Oh, wow.
Like, it's fucking, oh, it's awful.
Oh, it's not inspiring in the least.
No.
No.
It's just a bunch of whiny kids
that have never had to work hard
to get into an Olympics.
You know what?
Every song for the Olympics
should be the song that was for the 2010 World Cup
by the Somalian rapper Kanan.
If anybody else,
this is maybe not something
that other people get down with,
but if anybody else knows the song I'm talking about,
it was like the World Cup song in 2010
by Kanan.
And it was, I still listen to that song.
And when I listen to it, I'm just like, I'll be an athlete someday.
It makes me so inspired.
It makes me feel so good.
And there's just, it's like the polar opposite of that.
Oh, man.
That was wrong.
Although watching that video reminded me, I like that, the one, the sport, when they get on the thing, on the ice face down.
When like their whole body is just like them on a tiny board.
That's Looge.
And they're just face down on this fucking tiny board.
Luge is face down.
Yeah, no, not face down.
Their feet are.
Oh, I thought it was.
No, they're on their back.
Like a water slide.
That makes it not as scary.
What is it called lute?
Luge.
L-U-G-E.
L-U-G-E.
I remember luge from, there was a video game,
John and I used to play when we were young.
It was maybe, it couldn't have been Tony Hawk's extreme sports or whatever that
PlayStation game was, but there was some PlayStation game where you could Luge.
Yeah.
That was a lot of fun.
Probably just a win, like SSX.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally.
Can you imagine how much you would get hurt, trying to luge?
Yeah.
I would just get so hurt, so fast.
But also, I mean, I've never been on skis.
You know, it's like, I don't get, I don't get slidy things.
Yeah, I've never been skied either.
Slydy things are fun.
I used to ski, believe it or not, Dubuque, Iowa had two different ski mountains.
Really?
They weren't large, probably, in retrospect, but they were, we enjoyed the hell out of them.
And I skied a lot, not like in any sort of professional or competitive way.
But it was really fun.
I really like skiing.
And I only snowboarded a couple of times.
But whenever I snowboarding is the thing where I'm like, in a different life, I want to be a snowboarder.
If I get to be born again, I'll be a snowboarder that time.
I'll be one of those cool, sexy lady snowboarders.
Yeah, hell yeah.
That's my problem is I want to sleep with a snowboarder.
But then I feel like they're going to try and make me snowboard.
I don't want to do that.
I just want to watch them snowboard.
Yeah.
Yeah, they try to get you to snowboard.
You kick them out the door.
It's up to the list.
Oh. Who's on the list?
Yeah.
Gotta have that list.
Not bad at all.
Valentine's Day birthdays.
Oh, fun.
Who's a heart baby?
Who's a heart baby?
Florence Henderson, the mom from the Brady Bunch.
Appropriate.
Oh, she, that hair.
I wish I could get that flip.
I tell you what
I don't
I would look awful
I don't I would look awful
I think you could get it
if you wanted
controversial figure
Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20
He is controversial
Wait why is he controversial
He's controversial here on the network
There have been many arguments
About the talent of Rob Thomas
There's three of him
I must be lonely
I am I'm paranoid
I like Rob Thomas
I want to put you around
And I will
Do you not like Rob Thomas?
No.
I mean like...
See, controversial.
Yeah.
I mean, I'll...
Wow.
I enjoyed that song in sixth grade, but not once since then.
I would enjoy it right now.
Matchbox 20 is no Gougu dolls.
Gougu dolls is definitely superior because I would definitely put them in the same, you know,
drawer of weird music.
I guess it's not weird.
It's just boring music.
Super normal.
Normal boring rock music.
I remember.
when Matchbox 20 came out, I remember thinking, well, rock music's over.
Yeah, and then you heard legends by sleeping with sirens.
Oh, no, no, now it's really over.
There were still, like, good times, but, like, Matchbox 20, like, that's where, like,
grunge landed.
Yes.
It led to Matchbox 20.
That's where it landed, and that's where, like, rock music landed, which matchbox
20, that whole, like, legends, that started with Matchbox 20.
Yep.
I agree.
Just mediocre.
Mediocre.
Mediocrity, yeah.
But Matchbox 20 wasn't as whiny as this music is.
You know what I mean?
Because, like, I hate that they're talking like this.
Yeah.
That is so upsetting.
In tone, they might not have been as whiny,
but the refrain of 3 a.m. was,
it's real, but I must be lonely.
Which is pretty funny.
I identify with Rob Thomas.
I get it.
It may not be a straight line,
but you can see from Matchbox 20,
to puddle of mud to stained and so on and so forth.
Yeah.
And also, and then you throw in like other bands like the weird whiny emo bands from the 2000s.
I was going to say like simple plan isn't there somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Something corporate.
Yeah.
Although I kind of like something corporate.
Yeah.
Other birthdays include.
Hmm.
Not really a whole lot of others.
Meg Tilly.
She's fun.
Big Chio was fun.
Oh, yeah.
Wait.
Is she the one that?
She's not the one that talks like this, right?
That's her, yeah, she's the baby talker.
Yeah, she's, she is fun.
Wait, but she's not bride of Chucky.
That's another Tilly?
No, that's also Meg Tilly.
Yeah, it's the same.
Oh, wait, no, that's Jennifer Tilly.
That's Jennifer Tilly.
Jennifer Tilly is the one with the baby voice.
Meg Tilly is the hot one.
She was the ballet dancer in the Big Chil?
Yep.
Interesting.
Yeah, she was the ex-girlfriend.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love the big chill.
Ooh, I'm going to watch the big chill.
You should.
Yeah, pretty much the last one's like George Mir is on,
but I don't think you guys know who that is.
I don't know who that is.
My giant.
Oh.
He was the giant.
Oh.
With Billy Crystal.
Oh, he's too big.
But their hearts are too big, and then they die so young.
That is true.
All right, it's time for Blind Adams.
Ah, we can't see him.
This married part-time reality star slash celebrity slash former porn star
who's still living off the porn he made with that A-plus Lister
has been trying his hardest to get the arch nemesis of the A-plus Lister
to make porn with him.
What?
Gay porn?
Boy porn together?
No, no, no, no.
No, he's, okay.
Cony.
He made a porno tape with a celebrity.
And now he's trying to get the arch rival of that celebrity
to make a porno tape with him.
Got you.
He made a porno tape with a celebrity.
I mean, it's like the biggest sex tape there is.
Tommy Lee.
No, no, no, no.
Launched bigger than that.
Launched the career.
Ray J.
It's Ray J.
And he's trying to get Black China
to hop in a bet with him.
Whoa.
Just to piss off Kim Kardashian.
And also make a lot of money.
And make a lot of money, I think is more what it is.
What's Black China's relationship status?
You get to fuck Black China, which would be fun, I imagine.
Yeah, that sounds great, actually.
I think she's fine as hell.
She probably needs the money.
Yeah.
Well, isn't she with Rob Kardashian?
Isn't she?
She still is?
I thought that they weren't getting a divorce.
No, they are consciously uncoupled.
But, yeah, because Rob Kardashian just came out and they're like, good for him, he lost weight.
Oh, God.
Look at him.
He's holding the baby.
He must be a good father.
It's like, no, it's not.
I highly doubt that he.
is. I mean, you know, that baby ain't no
Stormy, which we didn't get into,
but Stormy
Kardashian.
Stormy with an eye. Kylie's baby, her name
is Stormy with an eye.
Yeah, we didn't get that's all I have
to say about it. Yeah.
I feel like, yeah, that's,
I felt like I saw, you know, I saw this as a
very important story to people, but I, I kept
thinking about it and I was like, I don't know what to say.
I just don't care. I hope that
the kids, I hope that Kim Kardashian,
new kid and Stormy are friends.
They're only a few months apart.
That's kind of fun for cousins.
That's my only thought of Kylie's baby.
Although I got to say I did watch every fucking second of that 11-minute video that
because she didn't want to, like, she was like, the whole thing was like, oh, I want my
pregnancy to be private.
So that's why I was out of the limelight for so long.
But then she just documented the whole thing and made an 11-minute video about it.
So did you keep it private?
You just didn't do it live.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's a difference.
And also, I still watched it.
I hated myself for it if it makes you feel any better.
Well, we already did the Justin Timberlake items.
Let's move on to the last one.
This former A-List television personality host, who also manages people and does a lot of other things to earn money, is asking his ex for a loan.
Apparently, he has spent his entire fortune on women and drugs and is also gambling excessively.
The guy has limited funds and a massive debt.
His ex can certainly afford it, but will she do it?
Interesting.
TV host?
No, no, he's a musician.
Musician.
Yeah, they're both musicians, actually.
They're both musicians.
And they got twins together.
Not Mariah Carey and her partner whose name is.
Nick Cannon.
Nick Cannon.
Yeah, Cameron.
Whoa.
Of course he is.
I mean, he had a huge tattoo of Mariah on his back.
that he had to put Jesus on the crossover.
So of course he's boozing.
Of course he's boozing and gambling.
Oh, speaking of back tattoos,
we had the mystery of Ben Affleck's back tattoo solved.
We did.
What the fuck is that thing?
It's a gigantic Phoenix or something.
It's a big bird.
It's a bird.
It's so bad.
It's really big, too.
It's his whole back.
Yeah.
Like, I've got a big back tattoo,
a big bad back tattoo.
But it ain't that big and it ain't that bad.
It's his whole back.
Maybe he's trying to do the whole like,
I will rise again after his,
but also you ain't.
So, I don't know, dude.
No, I don't think that you can be a Phoenix
after just like a long and steady,
slow downward spiral
into like unimpressive acting.
Mediocrity.
Yeah, mediocrity.
Yeah.
It's mediocrity.
this whole week is just filled with mediocrity, isn't it?
And then henceforth, February 7th shall be known as Mediocrity Day.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, because no one cares.
It's a week before Valentine's Day, which no one cares.
You know, it's a great no-one-cares time of year.
It is a mediocre time of year, deeply mediocre.
Everyone's really just January sucks and then February happens, you know, that's where you're at.
No one likes to know.
I think February is the worst.
I think it's the worst.
It is.
Yeah.
It easily is.
Yep.
All of it.
I agree.
And I got a February birthday, and I can agree it's the worst.
I think that January is actually the worst, but I think the February is as bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a toss-up.
Yeah.
It's fine.
I guess we can kick this pig with the song that's been stuck in my head for days before hotline bling.
Meet you at the crossroads, so you won't be lonely.
Meet you at the cross until you won't be lonely.
I'm going to miss that.
Just that part of it has been stuck in my head.
Just going to miss everybody.
Underrated, man.
I love that song and the other songs that Bone Thugs and Harmony did.
First of the month?
Yeah, first of the month is really the only other one I know.
I was about to say, name one more.
No, they did the one.
They did the one with Mariah Carey.
The one with Mariah Carey.
Yeah.
Also, they're going on tour soon, and I might have to go.
You should definitely go.
You should come out to L.A.
Hey, Molly, let's go.
A 45-minute rendition of Crossroads.
I would just want a crossroads concert where it's just that song.
Yeah, Mariah Carey.
Breakdown, featuring Crazy Bone and Wishbone.
Break, break down.
Instead of begging me out down.
I called yesterday to basically say that you care for me, but we'll just have love.
This is good.
Today's playlist has generated Bone Thugs and Harmony.
Janet Jackson and that 2010 World Cup soccer song if anyone wants to look it up.
Speaking of which, I got to give a shout out to the woman on Twitter.
I don't know if you guys saw this.
She put together a 150 song playlist of every song we've mentioned on this show.
Last podcast, Roundtable, every LPN show.
She made a huge playlist.
So thank you very much.
Holy shit.
I want to listen to that immediately.
Yes.
I got to find it.
I think it's called like squirty birds.
Is it on Spotify?
It's a Spotify playlist, yeah.
Hell yeah.
I'll fucking listen to that.
Yeah, that sounds fantastic.
Oh my God, thank you so much.
I'm going to listen to the fuck out of that.
All right, that's all we got time for this week.
Thank you all very much for joining us.
And we'll see y'all next time.
Hell yeah!
