Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California.
This is The Brozky Report with your host, Brittany Brozky.
Hey guys, biennui-neu, bienvenido.
Welcome in!
Welcome in back to the Broski Report!
Today, yeah, we have so many sighting.
Do you remember that scene from Hoodwinked?
Do you remember Hoodwinked, first of all?
There was a bitch.
Hoodwink had a comeback recently on TikTok.
because of that fucking goat that y'all said reminds you of me.
Fuck you, first of all.
Second of all, LMAO.
Okay.
First of all, hey!
Second of all, I laughed.
The, did I?
Did I?
Did I?
Where he's rocking back and forth on his horns.
On his little, wow, that is me.
On his little porch, he has built himself a rocky chair out of his horns and he's playing the banjo.
And his little legs are swinging.
Because they're...
His little legs are just dangling in midair
because he's rocking back and forth
on his horns.
Damn if that ain't me.
What's his name?
This podcast would be nothing without Google.
Who was the goat from hoodwinked?
Japeth the goat?
Fuck you guys.
Granny Pucket's house.
Grady Pucket.
Just like...
So unhelpful.
Immediately unhelpful.
I'm looking for granny pucking.
Gradypucket.
Them.
Like, this is cinema.
When was the last time a movie like this was made?
Very long time ago, I can tell you that right now.
Everything I say.
They even gave him the little intonation
that Appalachian people have.
Everything I say.
So funny.
Did I?
Did I? Did I? Did I? That is me, dude.
Who plays him?
Japeth. Japeth. Japeth.
Japeth.
Japeth. The goat voice actor.
Billy Benji Gather.
He is from Mobile, Alabama.
Gloria Gather's son.
Who is Gloria Gather?
Damn, she's 82.
She is a Christian singer-songwriter,
author, speaker, editor.
an academic. I know that's right. She's married to Bill Gaither. And together they've written
more than 700 songs. The ASCAP named them Christian songwriters of the century. What did she
write? Gloria Gaither. Gloria Gaither top songs. Oh, they had a band, the Gather
vocal band. I will praise him because he lives. I am loved. Do I know any of these? I bet these
are all country.
Let me listen to it real quick.
Actually, let's look up a live version.
I believe in a hill called Mount Cavalry.
Not to go off on a rant here really quick.
Not even a rant.
It's more so, I wonder if it would be easier.
If I was like the 2014,
2013, maybe,
if I was a 2010 version of myself,
if I was 13 years old again,
and I held the same convictions
and principles that I held at 13 versus at 27,
I wonder how much easier life would have been
if I didn't fall on the left side of issues.
If I wasn't leftist, if I wasn't
curious about the world and its complexities and its differences and communities and how love is
unifying and all the fucking shit I talk about on this podcast. You know how living life with an
open mind and respect first and foremost for other people and other cultures is so important.
If I had continued on as a 13 year old with my very concerned,
family's values and my Christian values.
I got baptized at the age of 13.
You know, if I'd carried that into my adulthood,
I probably would have found a religious man
and we probably would have gotten married.
And I probably, and I'm just kind of pontificating here,
but I imagine that I would have been very unhappy
because I've never felt more in tune with myself
and my potential.
and what truly I am to my core than right now.
Maybe moving away from home had something to do with that.
Maybe, you know, the self-discovery process through getting fired and the pandemic
and all the beautiful things that have come into my life since then.
Maybe that is a factor of it.
But I also think that the Internet truly, like into high school, Tumblr was very formative for me.
And I usually talk about that in a joking way,
but Tumblr and Twitter, for me in high school,
opened my eyes to a world that I was not seeing on a daily basis.
You know, I was talking to friends who lived in different states,
who had different sexualities than me,
who were a different race than me, different religions than me.
And I wasn't really getting that at school.
Not to say that, you know, there wasn't diversity in my schools,
but it wasn't celebrated the way that it kind of is online.
And I wonder if I hadn't had that in my life how different I would be.
So for all the brain rot and all the horrible things that come out of the internet,
we've never been more accessible to each other.
And we've never been more forthcoming with information, I think.
I've learned more about, you know, cultures and countries that I never could have placed on a map as a high schooler.
I'll be very, very honest with you.
I've learned so much and there is a desire and curiosity to keep learning and to know more
that I think would not have existed if I had stayed sort of, you know,
if I had stayed in the circles that the people I went to school with did,
both high school and college, because I went to A&M.
And the thing in A&M is MRS degree, ring by spring, you know,
MRS degree, like you get married as you're graduating college.
You're 22 graduating.
You should have your Aggie ring and an engagement ring.
And I didn't do that.
And I felt like a failure.
And literally so many people that I went to college with are married with children now at 27.
And I guess that's a normal fucking age to do it.
But out here, out here, I couldn't imagine.
I could not imagine having being responsible for,
another life right now.
And the ethical decision to bring a child into the world that we are currently struggling
to live in with the climate change crisis and war and terror and food scarcity and
fucking wealth, just everything, I really wonder how different I would have been, you
know, if I, if I had never left the church, if I had stayed in Texas, and if I had let other people's
principles and morals and convictions outwardly press in on me, you know what I mean? Like,
like if I had let that sort of press in on me and break down my walls and I became a vessel
for other people's desires, I wonder how fucking miserable I would be. But would there also be a sense
of purpose and community that comes from the Christian faith.
And I've talked about it before,
and I get a lot of beautiful, very vulnerable messages from you guys when I talk about it.
It is a very human thing to miss the belonging of a church family,
you know, of being in a congregation, of worshiping in a room together every week,
of getting to know these people in a familial way,
familial as in family
because that is
I think a lost
it's a lost art
and when you get into these mega churches
you know and you just lose it
these small town churches
and they have their problems
trust but like
I don't know
I do find myself
reminiscing
in a good way
about my time in the church sometimes
and I see stuff like this and that
indescribable feeling of when it is a worship song and i put myself back in the mindset of when i was
a practicing very religious christian some of the lyrics would just hit they would hit you want to
you want to find comfort in this otherworldly omnipotent being that you can cast your worries onto
that it will be okay and that there is a plan and that it's not in your hands it's in his hands and just
be still and have faith and all that shit.
I mean, I used to just, it provided such a comfort.
And I know that that's what religion is.
I know that that's the point.
I mean, that's truly the point.
And when you decide to leave the faith,
you lose that.
And I've talked about it before,
and I know a lot of you can relate to that.
But it extends beyond just that statement,
you know, of like envying the faithful
or missing the comfort that that provided you
or the stability or peace to be able to sleep at night and not worry over these things
or not to take the world on your own shoulders.
And I don't have an answer for it.
My answer right now is I reject the man-made quality of religion as it stands,
specifically for American Christianity.
I reject it.
And overall, I resent it.
And I am happy now.
But I always wonder.
I always, always wonder if I had been the married Christian girl with two kids by the time I was 27.
What would she want?
What would she want?
And am I doing right now what that Brittany would want?
And I think the answer is fuck yes.
The answer is absolutely yes.
This is the dream life that I never would have thought even a potential reality.
And so I'm, I mean, I say this every fucking week.
like how grateful I am on so many different levels
that I get to do this
and that there is an audience that cares.
There's an audience that is willing to sit down
and listen to the bullshit that I have to say.
So thanks.
And back to Gloria Gaither.
I don't know any of the songs from the Gaither family,
but I'm sure they're great.
Okay, these are all from the 90s, pretty much.
Okay, what the fuck was I talking about?
I was talking about Hoodwinked.
I was talking about the goat.
I was talking about, oh my God, it came to me.
The schnitzel scene from Hoodwinked.
That's what I was talking about.
The fucking schnitzel scene.
Sorry for the God rant.
Let's get back to Hoodwinked.
Let's get back to the American classic animated film hoodwinked.
Schnitzel, the favorite treat for little girls and boys to eat.
Schnitzel, there's schnitzel there.
We eat Schnitzel all day long.
Schnitzel hood winked.
We're gonna play this, now I'm gonna memorize it.
Not such a bad job.
After all, I bring much joy to the children.
Snitzeh...
The animation's so scary and bad, but it's kind of camp.
Mommy, mommy, I want a schnitzel.
Nitzel!
Ooh!
Knitsyn Man!
God, they,
if y'all ever do a hoodwink, too,
which I think they did,
hood winked two.
Yep, came out in 2011,
and I bet it was fucking bad.
Yep, it was.
Oh!
It got it 11%
4.7 out of 10,
2.1 out of 5 on letterbox.
Bill haters in it? I did not know that.
Hayden Panetteer
What is she up to now?
Glenn Close.
Wayne Newton?
Heidi Kloom.
Joan Cusack,
A. Boller.
Oh my God, I had no idea
all these people were in it.
They did another one.
Open season is a great movie, too.
Oh my God.
I'm going to watch open season tonight.
Hoodwinked three?
Okay.
So there is not one.
Okay, if you guys are looking to change that
and you need, you know,
a D-list celebrity to act in your movie.
Look no further than me.
Guys, I can play.
If the guy who played the Schnitzel man is not available,
guys, book me, okay?
I've got my email and my bio.
If you need a Schnitzel man, you're looking at her.
You're looking at her.
Cynchient baby.
Do you see all that shit?
I mean, I'm kind of, I'm like super late on that.
Obviously, I was locked into cinching it baby.
Who wants to go to the four seasons of Orlando?
Me?
Yes, mother.
I would be absolutely delighted to indulge in the four seasons Orlando.
Perhaps we could hop over to Disney World.
Yeah, I saw all those videos.
That shit was crazy.
I'm imagining fully sentient baby as, again,
cast it in this with me.
Okay, so a fully sentient baby,
he could be the one that's like,
I want a schnitzel.
Me.
I want a schnitzel.
Yonlea, you're all following him.
Okay, can I ask a question that you guys are going to get mad at?
What is a schnitzel?
And also, why do I need him?
What is schnitzel?
I did not know schnitzel came on a stick.
I've actually had schnitzel before because in Fredericksburg America,
every time I've gone there, it's a little German town.
You can get schnitzel, but it's like this big, flat, fried.
I don't even know if it's chicken or pork or beef.
I don't know what a schnitzel is.
I just know it's fried.
And yeah, it's fried.
And then there's like gravy and taters to the side.
What is schnissel on a stick, dude?
Schnitzel is a dish of thin, pounded meat.
What?
Ew, well.
That's breaded and pan-fried until crispy and golden brown.
The word comes from the German verb,
schnitten, which means to cut.
Schnitzel is a culinary staple in German-speaking countries,
and is associated with Austrian and German cuisines.
Meat. You can use almost any thin, boneless cut of meat,
such as veal pork, chicken, beef, mutton, or turkey.
What about raccoon?
You're all doing raccoon schnitzel?
What about possum?
Gator.
In Florida, are the German,
are the German Floridians doing gator schnitzel?
Gator schnitzel with a little bit of Cajun sauce.
Ooh, wait!
Ooh, wait a second.
Floridian Schnitzel.
and it is a gator that is just pounded to hell, beat to hell, fried lemon juice on top, okay, and some Cajun rub.
Ooh! Cajun rub.
And then there's some, ooh, and there's some ochre on the side and maybe some seafood boil.
Wait, you could have a fried gator schnitzel with a seafood boil.
Oh, I bet that'd be real, real, real good.
Do y'all watch those ASMR?
Well, you probably don't because you're not fucking weird like me.
Actually, I take that back.
Y'all are weirdos.
So this might land with the right audience.
Those seafood boil mokbangs, mucbongs,
where they get that big glass bowl.
Oh, I'm salivating, thinking about it.
The girl I like to watch, her name is Eat with Spicy with Tea.
Eat with spicy tea.
What is her fucking username?
Eat
Eat with tea
YouTube
Eat spicy with tea
Yes, this girl
Oh y'all
And y'all know B-love

Me and my mother

We used to watch B-love all the time
Oh, that is just sinful-looking
King Crab

ASMR eating
2.5 million views
this is the Red 40 challenge
and she won
oh dude okay so it's this
she'll have this big
god dang
let's click this
okay I won't make y'all listen to it
if you don't like it but it's this big
ass glass bowl
of it's a concoction
that they make
and it's like a mixture of Cajun seasoning
seafood boil
like all that, what's the brand that fucking makes it?
Zataranes?
Zatarans, but they'll make their own.
I know Beelove has her own smack-alicious sauce.
That is, who?
Dang!
And they'll put the big boiled eggs in there
with the potatoes and the corn,
and then this is the kicker,
is they'll have some cut-up jalapinos or peppers in there,
and then onions.
But it's like caramelized onions,
and they're those big, chunky,
I mean, they almost look like noodles.
And so you dip the crap,
Oh my God, I'm about to fucking, oh, I'm drooling like a dog.
You take the lobster tail or the king crab leg or whatever, and you, you break it in half,
and then they do that perfect where it comes out with the filament still in it.
And then you take it and you dip it in the thing, and then you do the lemon juice on top,
and you can see the seeds come out of lemon juice.
And you know those rich restaurants, well, they'll have that little shower cap around the lemon,
so the seeds don't come out.
Need some of that.
They'll do that.
And then they'll put the, and usually they have long nails.
And so they'll use the nails to pick up the onions and put it on there.
And they take that bite.
Oh, my God, I need a seafood mug bang now.
I need a crab boil now.
Oh, my stomach is speaking to me in tongues right now, dude.
These seafood, oh, I can't watch them.
They make me so hungry.
Oh, I'm celebrating.
Sometimes, though, sometimes, dude, I do like to watch.
the crawfish ones because I love crawfish and they do it real good in Houston.
I was just in Houston recently with my mom and we went to a, what is that called?
Let me shout it out.
What's it called?
It's on Lake Conroe.
Monty's Lighthouse in Montgomery, Texas.
That's where we went.
Everyone there was real nice.
There's a nice little patio out there.
That restaurant has been so many different things over the years.
It used to be Sam's boat.
I think that was the one that was there for a really long time.
There's lore.
There's lore in that little strip mall.
It's Monty's Lighthouse now.
And they, oh, it was so delicious.
And they do the Cajun seasoning on it.
And there's that good juice that's in the bottom of the thing.
And I got three pounds of crawfish,
and it comes out with the taters in the corn.
And you can get that, I forget what they call it,
Crawdad sauce or something.
And it's, oh, I'm literally salivating, like an animal.
Yeah, it's like butter and Cajun seeds.
And then there's also this creamy sauce, whatever.
And you do, oh, and it's so good.
And they were big.
The crawfish were big this year.
But it's that, I'll do that, but I don't like
the shrimp with the eyeballs on and all this.
Oh my God, I saw this crazy TikTok yesterday
that about made me vomit.
This girl was like, shrimp muck bang,
and it was those big shrimp, and it was in the sauce,
whatever, I was like, yeah, I'm tapped into this.
I thought she was gonna peel the shrimp
and take it out, she bit the head off.
What are you talking about with those little legs?
And the eyeball?
Look, if that's what you're into, do it.
I just don't, I'm scrolling.
I'm not gonna watch that, dude.
I can't.
I physically cannot watch it.
All the comments too were like,
I know she didn't just bite the head of them.
And then my sister had a pet,
and I just loved that little bit.
Hold on, I gotta look up the script.
Shrimp from Shark.
My sister had a baby now it's just a stump, but it's grown and it's difficult because I'm working a second shift
It's a factory to put food on the table, but all the love I see in that little guy's face
It just makes it worth it in the end true story
You want to know some lore about me? I bought the shark tail to or the shark tail soundtrack on
iTunes back in like 2012 because there's a song on it that you
You couldn't find it on YouTube or streaming.
You had to buy the album.
Shark Tale soundtrack.
It's the one where, and Justin Timberlake was on it.
Goodfoot!
Holy shit!
It was Goodfoot.
Oh my God, hold on.
I'm saving this to my Spotify right now.
It's called Goodfoot by Justin Timberlake and, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.
See, it's fucking grayed out on the album.
Oh my God!
This is horrible.
Look, here's the Sharktail soundtrack.
And it's not on it.
Look, three little birds by Sean Paul and Ziggy Marley.
The Car Wash remix with Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott.
Goodfoot, all the good songs are fucking grayed out.
Got to be real Mary J. Blige Will Smith.
Gold Digger by Ludacris, all of these.
This is so upsetting.
I bet it's on YouTube.
Yeah, look, by Timbo in 2004.
That's crazy.
Oh, I love this album.
I wonder if I still have it.
How does iTunes work on iTunes?
I literally think I bought it.
Let's see if I still have it.
Actually, I'll do this later.
Okay, anyway, back to the muckbanks.
Yeah, if you're ever passing through Montgomery, Texas,
if you're ever on 105 through Texas,
go ahead and stop at Monty's Lighthouse.
That's just delicious.
And Fahita Jax is a family favorite as well.
Fahita Jax makes fajitas where they bring them out,
you get whatever you want, chicken steak, shrimp, whatever.
And there is a dipping sauce.
And it's really not that, you know, crazy when you think of, it's just very, it's so good.
Garlic butter with some like chili something in it.
And it's a dipping sauce for the fajitas.
Y'all, oh my God, it's so delicious.
Those two spots are so good.
Okay.
Now this, I was talking about, yeah, man, I'm so lucky.
into this. Now, what was I talking about this for? Oh, Schnitzel. Oh, Gator. Gator. What is Schnitzel? The way that my
tabs gradually, like, I can follow my train of thought that way. I need to start doing that more,
because me sitting here for 10 minutes in silence trying to backtrack through my own thoughts is just a
nightmare. You wouldn't last a day in the asylum where they raised me. Anyway, schnitzel on a stick.
Why is schnitzel?
Let me just, why is schnitzel bad for you?
Because it's freaking good, that's why.
Schnitzel on a stick.
That does not look appetizing to me.
I'm actually, I'm so sorry to say.
I'm lying.
It does.
That looks good.
Schnitzel, the favorite treat
for little girls and boys to eat.
Schnitzel is that's a day long.
We eat schnitzel all day long.
Oh, that used to kill me as a kid.
There's a scene here where one of the kids
They're like throwing schnitzel on a stick up in the air.
They're like, y'la la la la.
And one of the kids takes one and shoves it up his nose
and his eyes go different ways.
Used to make me absolutely crack up as a child.
Oh, I hated this rabbit.
Damn, this movie's tea, honestly.
This movie is really tea.
Because he was an evil little fuck.
He was an evil little fuck.
Did I?
Did I?
Okay.
Now let's go back to
I was talking about schnitzel because of the German guy.
Okay, now, when we're talking about positive German representation in media,
I would say hoodwinked is a great example.
I would also say the guy from Frozen, okay?
Yuh!
Big summer blowout!
Big summer blowout.
Now, is he German?
Who says, y'hoo, big summer blowout?
Okin is actually quite popular among fans, despite being a minor character.
Does Okun have a husband?
Was Okin atop?
The adult in the sauna is clearly implied to be his husband.
Best yet, Okin and his partner have a family.
Imagine gay people having a family.
That is unheard of.
Okin nationality.
What nationality is Ok?
Now we're tapped into R-slash-Frozen.
We have landed.
Guys, we've landed on the Frozen subreddit.
It took us long enough to get here.
He's Norwegian, but is sort of Swedish more than a Norwegian accent.
Fuck, so he's not even German.
All white people look the same.
All white people look the same.
It would make sense for him to be Norwegian,
considering how Frozen is kind of based off of Norway.
Well, yeah, because in Epcot de Frozen ride is in Norway, bro.
So yeah, Dutch in Norway.
Idiots never been to Disney World.
Ho-hoo! Big Summer Blowout!
German
characters
in movies.
Edna Mode is not fucking German.
Dr. Heinz Dufenschmertz.
Okay?
Rapunzel is not German,
okay, I don't care if the lore is German.
I care about the character.
Jessica Rabbit's German?
Oh my God, y'all.
We didn't even get to what the fucking.
I wanted to talk about today.
We're pivoting.
We're pivoting away from who-hoo,
because I'm a blowout.
We're pivoting to Robert Downey Jr.
Let me tell y'all something, okay?
I've talked about this a little bit before.
It's time to absolutely lock in.
This is on the docket for today, okay?
Everyone pull out your pin and paper.
Robert Downey Jr.
Everyone knows I love him.
Everyone knows that Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man Tube,
although I've talked about how formative those movies were to me,
okay, and that I love him as a person.
he's very charming, he's very whatever.
He inspires me to be,
he's what I want to be, okay?
On a personal level.
No, I don't want to be an actor.
I want to be like, in every interview you see with him,
he is so witty, he's so charming, he's so quick,
that's what I would like to emulate in my life.
Now, Robert Downey Jr. in 1992,
starred in the film Chaplin.
And let me see if I got that year right.
1992.
He started the film Chaplain.
Now, if you know anything about Charlie Chaplin,
you know that he's very formative to the beginning of cinema, as we know it now,
of movies and talkies and silent films and whatever.
He was very, very transformative, and he was an innovator,
and he was a superstar, and he was, you know, whatever.
Now, he was so problematic.
Most people were, okay?
most of the fucking, I mean, it's very hard to talk about anything honestly ever in pop culture
without mentioning that someone had some crazy view of something or had some horrible marriage history
or like beat his wife or abused his kids or was rich or the drug problem, whatever.
Like in entertainment, it's sort of tip for tat like quid pro quo.
I feel like Chaplin is one of those people that is so interesting as a case study, a character study,
of what a pivotal time in entertainment history going from, you know, the 20s, 30s into the 40s, 50s,
and him becoming an old man and so many things happening and how quickly life changed, war time, you know,
and going from trying to get people to.
to see what he wanted to do with the physical comedy
and the penguin walk and all this stuff.
And it was like seeing that come to life
and then the legacy that he created and all that, whatever.
I'm not trying to suck him off, obviously.
I'm just saying that, especially living in Hollywood,
it's everywhere.
You cannot talk about Hollywood without seeing a picture
of Charlie Chaplin and that fucking mustache.
So, R.D.J. in taking on this role,
you know, it's such a colorful role,
and it's such a colorful life,
and it's such a complex man to get right,
because with all the positive things he did,
there was just as much, if not more,
negative attributes and qualities and decisions that he made.
And it's such an interesting story.
And so RDJ plays him, and this is young RDJ,
real cute RDJ.
I think this is his first Oscar nom.
I don't think he won,
because he just won his first Oscar for Oppenheimer,
which is crazy.
So Chaplin,
I watched so many, like,
this was in high school,
I had a hyperfixation on this movie
and on RDJ, specifically in this movie.
It was, it's a very long movie, by the way.
It's like three-something hours.
And he prepared for it.
Let's read this.
He says,
at a certain point,
I had a one-way mirror
with a TV playing VHS tapes
of his old films.
And I would try to match up
where his face was.
and mine and literally just mimic him for hours and hours over a course of weeks and months.
I employed every single way I could try to show up for that role.
Crazy.
Yeah, this movie is nuts and it really started me on this whole kick of all these crazy
RDJ movies and then in this sphere, I don't know if y'all like A, care or B can relate to this.
My friend Meg is the only person I've met in my life
who can relate to this.
That isn't my dad, okay?
There's a very specific group of actors
that I'm about to talk about
around the early 2000s
that were top of the marquee,
like name and lights,
every fucking movie featured one of these men, okay?
I had a hyper fixation.
My Tumblr was half one direction, half Dilf, okay?
The movie Oceans 11, not the original with the rap pack, the reimagination, the 2001 remake of Oceans 11 starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts, all these crazy people, okay?
It's just superstar cast.
Changed my life.
I think that was the first movie I watched, like, as a kid where I was like, this is an adult movie, but it's smart.
interesting. Like I was able to
like keep up.
I was able to keep up.
But then rewatch after rewatch, I would
start to realize more and more things.
So basically if you've never seen Ocean's Love and
it's about a heist. It's about a heist of a Vegas casino.
And they pull it off through crazy schematics and
all these, you know, they all work together.
And it's the cadence of the RDJ
archetype. Brad Pitt, George Clooney. They're very
smooth-talking, charming, schmoozers.
They get what they want because they talk you into, you know, what they want.
And I watched this movie, and I was blown away at first.
This is in high school, I think, like late middle school, early high school, when me and
my dad watched it.
And the dialogue was so impressive to me at first.
I was like, it's so, you forget they're acting.
And I love movies like that because it's so believable.
But it's also because George Clooney and Brad Pitt were playing themselves.
Like that helps.
And I don't know if this was before or after Matt Damon had done Jason Boren,
had done Born Identity.
Actually, I think it came out the same year.
Born, 2008, 2002.
So, I mean, this was around the same time.
So it was this, this, they were just everywhere.
And then Matt Damon, of course, at his Goodwill hunting moment with Robin Williams in the late 90s.
And so I just think that that whole era was so impactful.
to me for no reason.
I watched so many George Clooney movies,
so many Brad Pitt movies,
so many Matt Damon movies,
so many RDJ movies.
Because when I like someone,
I freak out.
I don't know how to like them normal,
and that's always been the case for me.
So RDJ, going back to him,
Chaplin was one of those watches
where I think I watched Sherlock Holmes
and I fell in love with him.
I fell in love with him as a person,
as an actor, as a character,
even as his Sherlock.
Then, of course, Iron Man came out in 2008,
and then the sequel in, what, 2011?
Was that an Iron Man, too that came out?
Anyway, you have to go back.
He was in a movie called Gothica, Gothacana.
He was in a movie called The Judge, which is tearjerker.
He was in this movie, which I'm adding this to,
if y'all remember last week's episode when I talked about the Apparel Sprits routine,
where you get a nice, you listen to the Pryl.
playlist called Apparel Sprits on Spotify, which is like
Bosanova, take a nice shower, have a cold drink, watch a nice
summer movie and nice pajamas with some ambient lighting.
Okay, that's the Apparel Sprits routine.
Add this movie to the rotation.
This movie, it's so corny and cheesy, but it's one of my favorite movies
of all time.
It's called Only You, and it stars R.D.J. and Marissa Tomai.
And it's from the 80s.
I think it's like 1985, or 1989, something.
he is so young and cute in it
and Marissa Tomai is so gorgeous
and basically the plot is
when Marissa Tomai's character is a little girl
they do a Ouija board
and she asks what's the name of the man
I'm gonna marry and it spells out
Damon Bradley and she's like
oh my God and so up until her adult life
she's like Damon Bradley
Damon Bradley she's remembered this name
she's about to get married to this other guy
where she's like, yeah, it's okay, you know, he's good to me. He's got a good job. He's good to me.
I guess this will be my life.
Gets a call one day or something happens where the name Damon Bradley flashes across her life.
And she decides to go on this crazy goose chase to Italy to go find Damon Bradley and meets R.D.J.
along the way and all that, I'm not going to ruin it, okay?
It is so good. It is so good.
And he, you can tell that he's trying to find his, he's like mid-20s and he's trying to find that level of like, let the guy improv sort of thing, let him be himself.
Because there's only so much you can script when a person like that is so, like you, you can try to reel Robin Williams in as the genie in Aladdin, but he's going to do what he wants to do at the end of the day and you're going to like it because it's fucking Robin Williams.
And that is, you are watching magic happen.
So you better adjust the script around him and animate what he says, sort of thing.
You know what I mean?
R.DJ in my mind is a similar, like, as Tony Stark, as Holmes, let him go.
And then everyone needs to adapt around him because the brain is going so fast.
It's moving at 100 miles an hour.
Let it go.
Don't try to reel it in.
So in this movie, you can tell it's this sort of in-between thing of he's trying to find his, his, his,
his acting cadence, I think,
that isn't too much just him being
himself, like trying to learn how to play
a character,
which will eventually, you know, as he gets into
Chaplin and all the rest of the
the major films that he's in,
he finds that balance. But
yeah, I think that those movies
were so, so
important to me.
I don't know why. I really
don't know why. Like there was no reason for me
as a 14 year old to be watching Chaplin
and like analyzing it the way that I was, or the
born identity or Ocean's 11. Absolutely no fucking reason. I was obsessed though. That and
Pirates of the Caribbean. Dude, dude, my bedroom. Wait, this is actually cute. I haven't thought
about this in a while. My bedroom in high school was themed like Hollywood. It was themed like
like Hollywood Boulevard. And I had this nice like crimson red bedspread and this lamp that was
all. It looked like a chandelier. And then I had a Hollywood sign sticker above my bed, like a big sign.
And then on the walls, I had all my favorite movies.
So I had Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
These framed movie posters.
I had Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pirates of the Caribbean,
Curse of Black Pearl, Sherlock Holmes, the original, not The Game of Shadows.
Star Wars, A New Hope.
And then my bathroom was Twilight Zone themed, which is so cute because now I have a Twilight Zone tattoo.
I had the shower curtain, had all the little things on it.
Let me pull it up.
Twilight Zone.
intro
all these little things
like equals empty square
it was this eye that blinks and a broken window
and a floating door and all this
and then the spiral
as you're entering the twilight zone
I had my shower curtain
said you are now entering
the twilight zone which I was like
that's so silly because it's like
a shower and then I had a big
clock on the wall that had the spiral
in it and the
arms that
the hands of the clock were all funky and like didn't work.
It was so fucking cute.
And then I had black and white towels.
It was a vibe.
Okay?
I had an aesthetic identity as a teenager.
If that is not clearly evident as my adulthood will prove.
But yeah, my whole room.
And then I had a little section of my room that was all my One Direction and like music posters.
I had the Beatles everywhere, 1975, One Direction.
I had, I saw Paul McCartney in 2020.
12, I had a poster on the wall of that, and I would just look at it and sob.
I had my little piano in the corner and my harmonicas.
I had a whole set of harmonicas that my parents bought me as a kid.
I've been living this shit.
I am the same exact person that I was when I was 14, 15.
And that is such a, do you all ever have those electroshock moments where you're like,
I'm the same and I always will be, and that's beautiful.
But then you're allowed to change and adapt on top of that.
You know, like so much of me is different, but to my core, the way that I operate, my interests, my likes, the way that I love things and the way that I love people has never changed.
And I don't think it ever will.
I mean, I'm pretty cemented in my being as a 27-year-old.
I doubt that it will change anytime soon.
And that's both very, very comforting, you know, that I know myself better than anyone knows me.
And it's also a scary thing that if I've been this way for that long,
what if one day I want to change?
What if I want to outgrow that?
Or what if I don't like that about myself in the future?
How obsessive I am.
It's two sides of a coin.
You know, it can be a very relatable, beautiful thing that I love so intensely.
But on the flip side, it's like, I don't know if that's healthy.
Because when I'm obsessed with something, it consumes my fucking life.
And what happens if that's a person?
you know, that's not healthy.
So I think it's just all in balance
and I don't know balance.
I've never known balance in my life.
And that's how I work.
That's how I operate and it works.
So whatever, dude, fuck you.
Let's go back to King Crab seafood boil.
I want to make one of these one day.
I'm probably going to do it for a YouTube video.
I'm going to watch one of these videos
on how they make it because it, you know,
it's like, I don't know if they use flour or what,
where they make the sauce a little thick.
So it's not just, you know, butter.
It's not just melted butter where it's real oily
and there's that layer on top.
But it's kind of thick and it's got some texture to it
and there's so many flavors in it.
But I don't want it to be spicy where it burns my whole.
I don't want to have whole burn, okay?
I don't want to singe my asshole off my body.
I would like to have a tasteful amount of spice, okay?
Okay, let's move on to songs of the week
because I've got some things to share.
First of all, happy summer, guys.
Happy Pride Month, guys.
My first song is a Chapel Rhone song because I'm a fucking ally.
And also, I love her!
My Southern Bell, my Southern woman.
I love her so fucking much, dude.
I've got a bunch of songs by Chapel Rhone, actually, that I've had on rotation.
I want to see her live so bad because I want to do H-O-T-T-O-G-O.
I want to do it so bad.
And everyone does it.
Even guys at her concert, it's so fucking sweet.
I want to be a crowd so bad.
I need to find my husband at a chapel around concert.
I need to find my pansexual husband at a chaparone show.
Good luck, babe.
Red wine supernova.
I know, does that make me fucking basic?
I love that song.
I love Pink Pony Club.
I love Casual.
I love Hot to Go.
Pull up the album.
Yeah, Pink Pony Club, love.
California, love.
I just love her, dude.
Next song of the week is
A New Day Has Come by Celine Dion.
If you understand, you understand.
Slean Dion has a live
concert movie
that is called
Celine Dion concert
movie. It's not the one that's coming out.
Through the eyes of the world? Is that it?
No, I think it's a new day.
Anu
Amore Anasculuto
That's the fucking song, dude
Okay, this
This
Oh my God
Another very formative thing for me
This performance by Celine Dion
A New Day live in Vegas
That's it, that's it, dude
I was obsessed with this concert movie
This is a song in Italian that she sings
As this little interlude
intro or
can I fucking talk?
Jesus Christ
fucking reboot.
Put it in right.
Shut the fuck up.
This concert movie has a little interlude
transitionary scene
between songs, okay?
Where this clown comes out and he starts doing
this interpretive dance and he's got a rose
and then there's a woman and then they dance
and then it's sad, he's a sad clown.
And then Celine exits
stage right, onto the stage, walks across real slow, and it is just, it spoke to me as a child.
I don't know why. You should go watch this. The way that I recommended Ave Maria by Beyonce,
where she does it live with the sort of wedding, where they come and put the wedding veil and
dress on her, and then they rip it away to do it during the I Am World Tour. This is another one
that for me, I don't know, it's just the absolute epitome of live excellence. I don't know.
It's just so well done.
I was captivated.
It's captivating.
This scene,
Celine Dion, Amore Anascunuto,
A New Day Live in Las Vegas, 2007.
Go watch this, and let me know what you think.
This shit was so formative to me.
Yeah, her album, A New Day Has Come,
has been, it's always kind of in my rotation,
like I'll come back to it when I forget about it,
and I'm back there.
I'm back here, dude.
that album is so good
another one on my list is
Playboys by Midland
I love this song I just love a good happy country song
and then Luke Holmes has a song out too
that's a
I ain't no love in Oklahoma
I love that song
and I think it's on the Twisters album that's coming out
it's got like so many country people on it
can't wait to listen to that
oh and what's that Zach Bryan song
is there on closing time
you only smile like
debt when you drink.
I like that song too.
And then Song of the Week is
Million Dollar Baby by Tommy Richmond.
Yeah, I know it's overplayed
as fuck on TikTok.
But he's teasing his stuff for the summer.
I'm so excited.
Whatever that album is going to be,
whatever I'm locked in.
Million Dollar Baby is consistently
on loop in the back of my mind.
I don't know what it is. I love that song.
Oh, and then also I watched Mamma Mia too recently.
Mama me too
I had never seen it
and I was like, oh, share, I didn't realize
Donna fucking dies in it.
That sucks. Bring back Meryl Streep.
Why didn't she do it?
Anyway,
they brought some new ABA songs
into the mix, of course.
Undante, undante.
I love that song.
I love that song.
I'd never heard it before.
And so I was listening to it
I was playing cake sort on my phone,
kind of barely watching it.
It's kind of bad.
But then that song came on,
I was like,
what is this?
I was locked in.
Undante on Dante by Abba is a really,
really, that's one of the songs of the week.
Okay, guys,
I think that'll do it for me.
Go watch that Celine Dion.
You all have homework.
Go watch the Celine Dion clip.
Go watch Hoodwinked.
Go watch Chaplin with R.D.J.
Go watch Only you with RDJ.
