The Josh Innes Show - The Met Gala

Episode Date: May 6, 2025

Is the Met Gala the least relatable event ever? I get that we common folks aren't on the level of celebs. I get this. However, these are the same schmucks that tell average folks to donate more for different causes. Here's any idea, stop wearing stupid dresses at the Met Gala... Learn more about your ad choices.

The following was recorded from inside an ice plunge Okay, all right When a core's life is cold enough the mountains on the can turn blue So the next time you want to cold loggered cold filtered cold package Core's light just wait until those glorious mountains on the can turn blue. Whoo, it's easy to say that fast when you're freezing gold. Celebrities are really the most, like I think they're uninteresting and they're the most unrealistic and they're the most unrelatable people, right?

There are some that are kind of relatable. Like I think people find guys like Adam Sandler charming because Adam Sandler goes everywhere wearing basketball shorts, like giant baggy basketball shorts and giant t-shirts and sneakers and place pickup basketball. I think people view Adam Sandler as kind of a real person and maybe that's kind of part of how one becomes appealing as a celebrity and really kind of like finds an audience of people. Like there are very few celebrities I look at and go you know what I'd like to meet that person because I think that they're sort of relatable and I feel like I could at least have a conversation with them. Not that we'd be like great friends but like

I feel like I'd want to talk with that person and learn something. Like you know I love Sammy Hagar, right? Sammy Hagar does not lead a relatable lifestyle. I mean the guy, other than you know he gets hammered seemingly all the time, but he's rich as shit. He's got private jets. He was the lead singer of the biggest rock band in America. So like he's not an average ordinary Joe, but when you see him you feel like if you met him he wouldn't scoff at you and like you feel like he's living a life that I think would be neat to live.

Like not all rich lives are neat to live right? Some people just live these lives where you're like that just doesn't sound fun to me whereas Sammy Hagar does concerts, goes to Vegas, goes to Cabo, drinks tequila. It just seems like a fun time. It seems like the kind of vibe that I would like to be engaged with, right? Then there are other rich people and you're like, okay, I have no interest in this. Like it's too fucking fancy. I don't want to go to, I don't want to put on clothes. Like that's my biggest issue is I don't like wearing lots of clothes. Like the biggest issue I'd have with being rich is having to put on tuxes and go to fancy shit or be with some chick

that's dressed all fancy all the fucking time. That's not what I wanna do. I just wanna chill, right? Like I wanna look like, if I were rich, I would be an Adam Sandler rich. I'm not here to wear your tuxedos. I'm rich, I don't have any responsibilities. Like that's, like to me, the money is cool.

Like we all wanna be fucking rich. We all wanna have money. We all wanna be comfortable. Like I would love to just be comfortable. And I guess love to just be comfortable and I guess I used to be comfortable and took it for granted right because when I worked at 790 that was the most money that I had ever made and it was I mean depending on the endorsements and shit that were going on at that time. I mean as I told you I had thousands of dollars in savings. I had 401k shit like I think when I by the time I got whacked there I I want to say I had like $60,000 and

something like which doesn't sound like a lot, but that's just $60,000. I didn't need like I paid for my shit. I told you once I went into gallery furniture like one day just to kind of look at some couches and it was like I was like a like I was like a Beverly Hills mogul. I just walked in. I'm like I want that couch that chair that matches how much is that 10,000 do you take cash cha-ching like I was like a Beverly Hills mogul. I just walked in, I'm like I want that couch, that chair, that mattress. How much is that? $10,000. Do you take cash? Cha-ching. Like that was cool. And I would love to be at that point in my life again. Odds are I never will be and that's fine but like in that moment it was kind of cool, right? And that was just

fine for me and that was nothing near what these people make, you know. But you see these rich people, you see like celebrities and I'm not anti-celebrity or anti-rich, everybody wants to be rich. I hate people who shit on celebrities just because they're rich, like, oh, they've got all this money and blah, blah, blah. Yet they pick and choose which celebrities they shit on for being rich. Like, Beyonce's rich as shit, but no one ever goes, Beyonce's got too much money, why doesn't she give $100,000 to everybody in this country and then we wouldn't be poor no more, would we? And granted, she's not a billionaire like a Bezos or something, but nobody like the Bezos's of the world and these people that have that kind of money, you always hear that

like why don't they just give these guys, what if you gave everybody $10,000 or everybody $100,000 or whatever? But if it's a celebrity they like, like a Beyonce or Taylor Swift, no one's ever like, hey Taylor Swift should give us all five grand because if she did that could get us started. We could start our small business. We could start a small business if Miss Taylor Swift gave us all $5,000. Now wouldn't we? Huh huh huh huh. But they only do that mostly for rich white dudes. No one ever goes to Oprah and goes, Oprah, give everybody $1,000 just because you can, Oprah. Find a

way to do it. Talk to the government and say you want to give everybody any of their social security numbers. Go to the government, $1,000 and everybody's bank accounts. Let's go. Let's use the IRS. No one ever says that about these people. But like a Jeff Bezos or an Elon, it's like, why don't they just give this money? Like I know this is a random discussion. I respect that this is random but I bring this up because the Met Gala happened yesterday. Let's talk about the absurdity of this thing here after these words. All right it's the playoffs, basketball playoffs right now and there is no better way to try to make a couple of bucks by putting your knowledge of hoops to the test than using pick six from DraftKings. You can turn that

hoops knowledge into real cash and it's better than prize picks flex plays bigger payouts than prize picks flex plays. So why not give it a shot? I use it. Jilly uses it.

Let me tell you when she's hanging out and she's building these things, she's a wizard. I would text her, I would send her a DM and be like, Hey, who do I play on on the pick six, because you're a wizard when it comes to basketball parlay's but nobody is dropping better payouts than

pick six hit six picks and that's 25 times your cash. And if you beat your competition, you could be looking at a 500 times bag in your pocket and new customers get 50 bucks in bonus picks with just a $5 entry the playoffs are on so why not take a shot at making a little money while you're watching download the DraftKings pick six app right now and use the code Ennis that's I N N E S the code is NS to play $5 and get $50 in bonus picks better payouts bigger wins only on pick six from DraftKings the crown is yours gambling problem call 1-800-GAMBLER help is available for problem gambling call 888-789-7777 or visit

I would need to read what exactly goes into the Met Gala. I'm guessing it's the Metropolitan, is it like the museum? Right? Like I don't really know anything about this. Like what is the Met Gala? Can you give me a Wikipedia page on the Met Gala? Let's do that. Let's start there. Met Gala Wikipedia page.

Show me the Wikipedia and give me a breakdown. The Met Gala, formerly called the Costume Institute Benefit, is the annual haute couture fundraising festival held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in Manhattan. Cool! The Met Gala is popularly regarded as the world's most prestigious and glamorous fashion event. Attendees are given the opportunity to express themselves through fashion, often producing elaborate and highly publicized outfits inspired by the evening's theme and broader cultural context. The event is known as Fashion's Biggest Night where the haute couture intersects with history to create the ultimate cultural moment in the name of art. An invitation is highly sought after, personalities who are perceived to be culturally

relevant to contemporary society amongst various professional spheres, including fashion, film, television, music, theater, business, sports, social media, and politics are invited to the Met Gala organized by the fashion magazine Vogue." In reading that little description, what we have here is the least relatable event in the history of the fucking world. It fascinates me when average everyday people are into this kind of shit, right? So I'm on USA Today here. So let's read some of the headlines. WNBA star Angel Reese makes stunning

return to 2025 Met Gala. Let's see what Angel Reese wore at the Met Gala and let's see if it's stunning. Like honest to God, I think she looks stupid. Like Angel Reese looks better and far more attractive when she's playing fucking basketball and she's got like the one leg sleeve and then the one leg doesn't have the leg sleeve on it. Like I think Angel Reese is sexier and better looking and more attractive when she's playing WNBA basketball. Like you look at these people and they're wearing shit. Like maybe I'm on an island here, but I don't think people look attractive when they're dressed up in like million dollar dresses and shit. Like I see like there's Rihanna I think is who I'm looking at. I'm looking at a

photo gallery here. Now let's look at some of these people. Whoever the fuck let's see there's Rihanna like that looks stupid. She looks like she's about to get on the Titanic. Guess what? The boat fucking sinks. She's on like the top deck of the Titanic while all the scrubs are at the bottom, all jackets down, there's sneaking onto the boat because he won a card game. Like it just looks stupid. Rihanna looks exponentially better when she just looks like fucking Rihanna. Like why is this interesting? Why do people

like this? Like I don't fully understand it. Like why is this some sort of true gauge? And like like why is this some sort of true gauge and also like why is it when we look at shit like this why do we give a shit about raising money for a fucking costume museum hey where's the mummers gala let's do that while we're just doing shit for stupid costume shit let's do a mummers gala and have all the mougal show up wearing the Philly tuxedo to raise money. Yeah, I got my joggers on. I got my Philly's jersey over my Sixers hoodie and I got my Eagles hat on. Go Birds. Like, who gives a shit? Like, how do we pick and choose which shit that we're just appalled by as a society, right? When everybody's poor, like we always hear like, well, they

sent these people into space and that was fucking stupid. Yes, it was and people criticized it. But no one's like, hey, this is fucking stupid that people are wearing like million dollar fucking dresses to go raise money for a fucking museum, for a costume museum. Let me make sure I've got that correct just before I rip anything here. It's held to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. What is the Costume Institute? What do they do? A curatorial department of the museum focused on fashion and costume design. Who gives a fuck?

Who is like, guys, we all need to get together and raise millions of dollars for a fucking costume museum. Like, why aren't we doing like, hey, tomorrow we're doing the big gala to raise money for Madame Trousseau's wax museum. But Rihanna, you look stupid. And you're pregnant, which also looks stupid. Let's see. Who is this dumb looking person? Oh, that's Kim Kardashian. You don't look glamorous. You look better when

you were getting plowed by Ray J. Like you looked more human and more relatable and sexier when Ray J was putting up fucking 17 inches into your bunghole. Alright, like I'm looking at this Sabrina Carpenter who really makes me uncomfortable because Sabrina Carpenter does that whole thing of where she's kind of like first of all, she was on Disney Channel. Now her whole care, she didn't make any money as an artist before her music stiffed. Then she starts

singing songs about being a whore is basically what happened. She built this kind of whore-ish character and now she's got like 10 songs in the top 10 because that's what she had to do. Like her outfit looks stupid. It's like a weird it's like I don't even know how to describe it but it looks like why do people think this shit looks cool and why do average people who make like 50 grand a year like fawn over this kind of shit. If I were rich this is not the kind of rich I'd want to be.

Like I want to be the kind of rich where I can sit courtside at a basketball game or fly wherever the fuck I want to fly whenever I want to fly there. Not hey, I want to go raise money for a fucking costume museum. Zendaya, you look stupid. I guess like I'm guessing then that the big theme of the Met Gala this year was oversized hats. Like they're like fucking, like they're Burt Reynolds in Celebrity Jeopardy. It's an oversized hat. It's funny. Zendaya, you look dumb. Oh Jesus Christ, who is this? Diana Ross, you look super fucking stupid. What was the theme like? Shitty, stupid-looking, early 20th century, World's Fair clothing.

Who cares? And imagine the idea that this is what people spend money. Like, these are the same celebrities. Remember this, okay? This is where the hypocrisy of celebrity comes in. These are the same people that on a daily basis tell you how terrible this group of people are, tell you how sad it is that these people are poor and that these people need more money. We need to help this group and this group's terrible because they don't help this group and they're dressed up as the goddamn 1904 World's Fair raising money for a costume museum. This Diana Ross dress that goes all

the way down. This is stupid. I hope you fall down, you old wench. Chapel Rome, who I find to be hot sometimes. It's strange. But I find her to be attractive sometimes. At least Shakira here, her dress is gigantic and looks wacky, but she looks like a normal human. Why is it that if you're going to dress all fancy, you also have to stop looking like a normal human? You have to put on shitty makeup and wear veils and garbage bags and shit. At least Shakira looks hot. The dress is fine. I mean, it looks like diamonds are a girl's best friend or something. Oh wait, it's a giant dress. That's stupid. Kendall Jenner, she at least looks kind of human. She's just kind of wearing a pant suit dress

thing that probably cost a billion dollars. Demi Moore, you look stupid. Well, your face looks stupid because it's totally fake, but the outfit you're wearing also stupid. Bruce Willis is like, I'm glad I don't remember what you look like right now. Let's see. There's Sydney Sweeney. She's pretty. But again, to me, this isn't where people, pretty. But again, like this, to me, this isn't where people, like, this isn't where people shine their most. Like, this isn't where people look their best. You know, we're like, Kylie Jenner probably looks hot. It's like she just got out of the shower or something. She's wearing like some sweats and we're about to sit down, watch true crime. That's probably

where Kylie Jenner looks hot. Not wearing this, like these stupid dresses. Like, who is this chick? Gigi Hadid. I'm sure Gigi Hadid when she's not wearing the stupid gold metallic dress here, she's probably very pretty, but these people overdo it. There's Nicole Kibbe. She also doesn't look very human anymore, so she's a bad example. Bad Bunny here looks like he's carrying a bowling bag, an old-school leather bowling bag. He looks dumb his hat stupid, too Cynthia Arrevo, she's the fucking worst

Everything about her and the other gal. What's her name? The gal that was in the wicked. They're just the fucking worst Let's see. I feel like I feel like I'm doing I've somehow become Joan Rivers, I'm doing fashion police now I just sitting around judging people like these rich assholes like what is it like? I understand that like these celebrity people are not relatable Like I fully understand that and I fully get it like they're never like we're not them They're not us they live in a different world But these are the same people who judge everyone for not helping people. Like these are the same

people that end up on like telethons that are like, hey can we raise money for the people whose houses were flooded? Bitch, why don't you stop buying these stupid fucking dresses and you go give them some fucking money? I got a negative bank account. You're over here wearing whatever this fucking shit is you're wearing. Take whatever it costs to make this fucking piece of shit and go Send it to fucking Africa help some people put it in the same box that the fucking that the that the Chiefs championship t-shirts from this year went to Like all these people think they're big shit they're like look at us we're big look at me. I'm usher

I'm big shit wearing a tuck. He at least looks kind of normal. That must've been the theme. I didn't read, but this seems like 1930s, like zoot suits and shit. Either way, the most unrelatable shit on the planet, Met Gala. Like, hey guys, did you see the outfits of the Met Gala?

No, I don't hate myself that much. I dislike myself a good bit, but not enough to be passionate about what people are wearing at a fucking fundraiser for a fucking costume museum. Thank you.
